Ok wow JCM. You master, not only did you explore the emotional, the interpersonal dynamics in a way no one else ever has with such vivid and visceral clarity…you hooked it the end. AGAIN.
Creating a perfect emotional climax that once again…drove me to tears. Beauty beyond beauty.😢
Words cannot express my gratitude for your comment. Thank you for watching and taking the time to experience this video series created from admiration and respect for Led Zeppelin. I am very much into the emotional construction of not only artists but my surroundings and try to understand what moves us as people to embark on projects and if possible, make the world a place worth living in. Every script i write is done from a place of empathy and thought, more than views and likes, i am interested in using music to connect us in the energy of possible and reflection. Your words encourage me to keep going! Hope you enjoy "Season 4" coming up :)
Yeah. He gets ME to watch from end to end, and I'm very impatient usually.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories What you tell us in your reply here, the intangibles you're attempting to isolate are the very things that drew me to your stories over time. But still, there's more to it, because I very much liked the first video I found, roughly a year ago.
I am an empath.
I don't want to ramble on and lose my grasp on what I'm trying to say. What you seek may not be attainable even though you've found it! Sort of like Zeppelin?
Keep doing what you do.
You channeled my feelings about “Celebration Day” precisely. I’ve been a “full catalog” fan since the late 80s, including whatever boots I could get my hands on, but I resisted purchasing this album until literally 2 weeks ago. Seeing your first installment reminded me that I needed to bite the bullet and give it a chance. I started with the blu ray video of the concert, and it actually beat my expectations by quite a lot. I ended up with a sense of peace that, if this stands as the final official statement of the band, I’m alright with it. I was proud of them for giving their all for one final gig together with Jason.
Oh nice you got the Blue Ray, wow! That's the best version really. I am with you on Jason's work that night, he WAS THE HERO. Bonzo is proud of him. Glad the video series got you to check it out! Thank You! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Robert visibly emotional at the Kennedy Honors. He totally missed Bonzo . And Props to Jason for COMPLETELY keeping it together.
Jason was a man of STEEL emotionally speaking, playing that gig was NOT an easy job AT all. Yes!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Nuff said. You are absolutely correct.
That was a beautiful thing to see. I kind of interpreted his emotion as yes, missing his old friend and pride in Jason, but also from a place that says "Can you believe how much people care and have been touched by this little rock band we had?" He looks humbled. That's the word I would use.
I would love a series of videos about the Page and Plant tours in the 90s
yes, yes and yes
This is coming soon, it's on the drawing table, i am building it so i have the RIGHT angle to present it :) Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Make one !
I agree with you on that to see what happened behind the scenes of the Page/Plant days the music was awesome at least
I saw them in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the late 90s walking into Clarksville
I’ve seen basically every group of note from around 93 til now and I can easily say that seeing Plant and Krauss in 2008 in Austin was easily the most amazing performance I have ever seen by far, by anyone. I cannot put into words what that sonic atmosphere was, it was supernatural. Nothing else comes close. I have never forgotten that
I believe you because Plant looked real happy for the FIRST TIME in his life :)
My Aunt has some amazing stories about going to Woodstock, travelling around like a typical Hippie, seeing Led Zeppelin and many other great bands, but my favourite memory with her is when she came down for a visit and we sat down together and watched Celebration Day, I believe we both shed some tears of joy and amazement.
That is awesome! Imagine the emotions she went through, watching them Rockstars now in old age, the metaphors of Life and the music holding it together! Thank you for watching the series Ryan! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Not to be a jerk, but did the band “hit” your Aunt?
@@benedictdonald4338 Only with wonderful stories and some of the best music we’ve heard.
@@benedictdonald4338yet you were.
Firstly, yet again another brilliant documentary by JCM. So, thank you.
Robert Plant is actually the true keeper of the flame when it comes to Led Zeppelin. When John Bonham died, the remaining members said there is no Led Zeppelin without him, and there absolutely isn't. Plant has always been the one who said "no" because he kept his promise. Inviting Jones onto the Unledded album would have made it virtually Led Zeppelin again. It was harsh on JPJ but I think it was deliberately calculated. The 2007 reunion was the perfect end after the failed attempts of 1985 and 1988. Jason Bonham filling his father's footsteps for the last ever gig was the right way to go out. If Page, Jones and Jason had gone on the road after the 02 concert with any other singer than Plant, it would have tarnished the legacy of a great, great band and sacrilege.
"We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with the sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were."
Bonham and Plant were close friends and Robert has a deep respect for his friend....and if it's his reason for not reuniting then I must respect that as a fan.
He has many reasons indeed. Glad they asked Bonzo's son to do this. Nobody else was right but him. Jason was a Hero.
I’ve been a LZ fan since I was a kid. I’ve watched many documentaries on them and I love the back stories on songs of all genres. You go into areas I’ve never seen before. Thank you. You are a Fantastic in-depth documentary researcher. Looking forward to more.
Hey Dave! Glad to have you onboard! Welcome to a Zepp fan working out docs with passion and admiration for the band! There's more videos coming up!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I went to see Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin experience years ago. Walking through the lobby was a young man wearing a bowler derby hat. I stopped him and asked “ Are you Jason’s son?” He said “ Yes” I asked if I could get a pic with him? He said “ Yes!” My girlfriend at the time also got pics with him. He autographed my “ Back stage pass” I’d bought that was also a raffle to meet the band backstage. I didn’t win raffle but I did win a very cool moment with John Bonham’s grandson and a great memory of a great show.
I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Great content! Keep up the great work. I laughed when you paused for the planes going overhead! Lol. Thanks for “ Keeping it real” Rock on!
Fascinating and informative as always, you are the gold standard for fan created documentaries and I don't think it's close.
Your blend of deep research and passion is hard to beat.
Wow Mark, THANK YOU man! That's so cool! Glad you had fun watching these as i've had editing them! Stay tuned for Season 4!
When I was born the band didn't exist anymore so I never had any hope of seeing them live, I mean the original Led Zeppelin with John Bonham but I would love to see the remaining three of the band together again. My dad, a Zeppelin fan since he was a teenager, couldn't watch this show and was very frustrated, he's seen the band live many times but says it's never enough. Jose, your work is amazing, excellent as always, I can only say “a million times thank you!” ❤❤❤
Thank You Marcia! Your Dad is a very lucky Man having watched the Zepps! Hopefully these videos keep the flame alive and rock and roll never ceases to inspire us all! Stay tuned for Season 4!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
My family is in the third generation of Zeppelin fans. And it’s wonderful to see how many Japanese kids want to be drummers and guitarists inspired by Bonham and Jimmy (bassists and keyboardists too). There is an interesting case, a girl who has been playing drums since she was three years old, she is self-taught, she heard Led Zeppelin and immediately identified with Bonham sound. She went viral on the internet with a cover of Good Times Bad Times and it’s worth watching Robert Plant’s reaction to this video, she was endorsed by Page in Heartbreaker. Many believe she is Bonham reincarnated…you can be sure that in Japan Zeppelin will never be forgotten. I look forward to Season 4!
Got my first Zep album (IV) in 1972. Literally wore it out. Attended the '77 Seattle Kingdome concert. The acoustics were bad but the experience was surreal. Saw Plant in '83 and Page/Plant at The Gorge, an outside amphitheater in George, Washington, in '98. All of this I experienced with my best friend, David McRae, who turned me on to Zepplin in High School. When Celebration Day was released I invited him over to watch it on my new 55" Panasonic plasma flat screen with Bose sound system. Similar to the Kingdome experience the quality of the sound (which was fine) took a back seat to the emotional experience of seeing a proper reunion (with Jason). It was a very special experience.
Hi, thank you for all you have done & continue to do, it is all fantastic creativity!
I am to be 58 this year, I never saw LZ live. I saw JP fall off his stool while performing with The Firm. I saw Robert on The Principal of Moments & the Now & Zen tours. I saw Page & Plant on their No Quarter tour. I even saw BCC on their tour. They all had their memorable moments.
Celebration Day music & film has been my high mark as a Led Zeppelin fan. It has brought countless hours of joy. I am far from an audiophile, but I know what sounds good to me, and this sounds great.
Again, thank you, from one fan to another, your work is truly appreciated, peace, mu
That's a LOT of GREAT shows you've seen. So Cool you got a chance to experience them. Glad to have you on board Mark!
Your work on the Led Zeppelin videos is astoundingly thorough, so well researched and so well put together. The footage, the editing, the music
Thank you for watching the series! Editing these keeps getting more and more exciting, i am glad you feel the energy and passion put into them. Stay tuned for Season 4!
These documentaries are something special. I watch one or another one each evening ( I've seen them all multiple times) before I go into the dungeon (my drum room). I can't get enough of these !
This is so cool to read JR! Thank you for watching these. A new series on Houses of the Holy has been released, hope you enjoy it!
I drove out to Scranton PA for the Jeff Beck show the night after the R&R Hall of Fame. Rumors were flying that Jimmy would do something with Jeff as he had the previous night at the HOF, but it wasn't to be. Instead I had to settle for an unbelievable night with Jeff. One and only time I saw him and of course now I'm forever thankful.
Man, oh man, I live in Bethlehem, PA and wouldve loved to see Jeff Beck in Scranton. Montage Mountain??
@@djlehara No it was a theatre in Scranton itself, Scranton Cultural Center? Three hours there, two and a half back with a speeding ticket. Great night
You saw THE MASTER himself...wow...just WOW! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Quick note. "Save Me" on the Black Country Communion II album was a riff that Bonham brought from the post O2 "zep" rehearsals. It was from the JP/JPJ/JB jams.
I did not know this, then it makes sense why i enjoyed it...damn the ZEPP sound you cannot get away from the source. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
My favorite poster, which I still have
(the only one I had time to save as I fled The Great Fire)is of Jimmy wearing the black dragon suit, legs spread, playing a lead solo, with a cig in his mouth. Iconic.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
Is that poster from Earls Court'? An iconic image for sure!
Another fantastic installment...ty so much. One of my favorite things about the O2 show is something very subtle: when Zeppelin played back in the 1970s, and they were in the middle of a transition within a song, one member of the band would nod or wink to the others that a "break" or transition was coming ...a silent way of keeping everyone on the same page. In the O2, every time a transition was upcoming, Jimmy would turn and walk towards Jason, and look directly at him, as if to say: "you ready? We're about to change-up." Not only does this show that Jimmy was very sensitive to the pressure that Jason must have been under, but it was a very loving - almost fatherly - way of holding his hand....leading him in the right direction. Every time I watch the DVD I see this and think how mature and caring a gesture this is from Jimmy towards Jason. It also shows how in-command Jimmy was that night, as opposed to previous reunions. Jimmy was locked-in.
That's essential Led Zeppelin what you say about their on-stage communication. A key element that really puts into perspective their level of musicianship and humanity where other bands relied heavily on showbusiness politics and makeup. Thank you very much for watching the series T.A! Stay tuned for more!
Another great documentary in your series. I'm digging it big time. You've hit on a great formula. You are a true artist.
Wow, thank you! Editing this one in particular was a walk down memory lane, 2007 seems so close, yet so far away! Glad you enjoyed this one.
Great work again. Living in Japan, I was able in ‘12 to see possibly the first screening in the world of CD as it worked its way around the globe. I made my trek to the cinema in south Nagoya, Japan (one show in the evening). It was a good turnout of respectable older Japanese in their suits and dresses who hadn’t forgotten their youth. The sound could’ve been a little better, but the big screen was magnificent. I take credit for getting the reserved audience clapping and cheering between the tunes. It was all a poignant reminder of those midnight movies of TSRTS back in the day, which were crazy debauched events like going to an actual concert (the only way most would ever see an actual Zep concert) On that note, my friend and I had tickets for Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland ‘80, but Bonzo had other plans 😢.Keep up the great work.
Watching this on the big screen was awesome. 100% Robert. I'm sorry about Cleveland 80'. Its really sad to think on the expectations that never were. Thank YOU for tuning in! Stay tuned for more!
...seeing the emotion on Robert Plant's face, at Kennedy Honors, said it ALL ❤ i cried too!! 😭🥰💫💖 )0(
One of the most touching moments in all of Led Zeppelin's history!
I always loved listening to Zeppelin boots and live recordings and appreciating the crushing guitar tones Jimmy Page always brings. This show was no exception. It's great to hear that bottom heavy ballsy sound that Led Zeppelin is known for onstage
The Boots for this were Killer indeed! Thanks for tuning in!
Cliff hanger!! Any album would be an amazing series!! Jose unbelievable episode and series man. So well done. I actually love Celebration Day. I love that Jason was a huge part of it. It wouldn’t be the same with anyone but him, it had to be Jason. Added a ton of heart and kept it in the family. As a massive Bonzo fan, I completely accepted Jason as the 4th member for this project. Like I said anyone else would have fell completely flat for me. He was the hinge on this for me. I look at it like a tribute to Bonzo in a sense. Absolutely beautiful episode at the end at the honers. You do amazing work man. Thank you for this. I absolutely can’t wait to see what you have next. I need a clue!!😂❤
Jason was the heart of it, i agree with you 200% Too bad he gets crap for playing Zeppelin songs HIS FATHER recorded, i don't understand people sometimes, they act in disrespectful ways and forget they are humans and have families. Thank you for watching the series Matt! Stay tuned for Season 4! I promise the cliff hanger will be worth the wait!
my fav moments being where Robert keeps digging about the bootlegs and jimmy looking nervous like 'I sued all those blokes'
Hahahah yes. And in 1994 he did the same thing, episode 8 of my 1990s series shows it!
Brilliant. I'm slowly going through them all. Fantastic work mate, all the best from england! hope to catch your band someday@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
I think I know it's Presence. Jose is doing it For OUR lives 🤘🏼🎯
I promise it's an album hehe. There's more stuff coming, i've have my calendar ready Man!
They were always magnificent...just the best!
Cheers to that Julie! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Once again, kudos to you on this latest series! Loved watching it, and as someone who was at the O2 show, it really made me smile with some great memories. I was also underwhelmed with the CD audio mix. It really causes ear fatigue to listen to it at any decent rock & roll volume. But, I did grab it up as soon as it was released, and was happy to have it, and loved seeing the rehearsal video bonus. Seeing the film when it was shown on the big screen was outstanding. The detail presented that I simply never got from either being at the show or from the bootlegs was just amazing to see.
I'll give you one other insight into Jason's activity leading to his JBLZE shows. The Zep tribute band I was in at the time, got the attention of Jerry Greenberg, the former prez of Atlantic Records, who was interested in working with us. One of the first things he did was arrange for Jason to come to one of our shows, and sit in with us. This was early 2009. Jerry thought that Jason might be interested in appearing as a special guest with us on a tour, which would really help to book the band in bigger and better venues. At the end of the day, Jason opted not to do that, and pretty soon afterwards, came out with his JBLZE band. I have no idea if he already had the thought of forming his own tribute band before he came to our show, but it seems to me that seeing what we did and the crowd response we were getting to playing Zep music live might have given him the idea!
Here's a video my wife shot of Jason's song with us. Once again, congrats on the great videos!

OMG SteveZoso Himself, first off i am honored by your comment here on my channel. SO COOL! You were at the O2 Arena, how did you manage to watch it and not pass out from excitement? hehe. Man the Bonham story IS fascinating, i am pretty sure Jason got cue from you guys. Your contributions to the Zeppelin flame are Enourmous, i saw the video, man i got CHILLS watching it, an INSANE experience. I would love to interview you one day, thank you once again for inspiring to appreciate Led Zeppelin so much! Also, glad to know i am not alone on the thoughts on Celebration Day, trust me i tried for years to LIKE it hehe.
I think Robert finally got Stairway to Heaven that night at the Kennedy Centre.
Hehe good one! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Finally got around to watching this whole series... so fun to watch. Thank you.
Dude. You need to get an award for these videos. @youtube
Thank you for watching the series Carl! Glad you had fun watching these as i've had editing them! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Enjoying this series while stuck at the airport. I will say that i get your feelings on Them Crooked Vultures, but seeing them live was a revelation. One of the best concerts I've ever seen! Cheers.
From the Airport! Hey Aaron i know the feeling of waiting at the terminal, i am 100% TCW was a killer live show. This usually happens with great modern bands on stage...the studio material had a hard time speaking the same language thru speakers. If JPJ played anywhere...i'd go. Thats for sure. Thank you for watching, hope you dig this channel :)
Simply fantastic JCM! Thank you so much! 🌹🌹
Thank you for watching the series Jeremy! Stay tuned for Season 4!
🌠Good as Usual !...I'll have 2 re watch it ..I got interupted by 2 phone calls..JCM ROCKS !⭐
Thanks for another incredible video, JCM. Your passion is palpable.
Thank you! This project is all about admiration for the band and respect to THE FANS as well. :)
Thank you once again 💚
Thank YOU for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Can't wait. Another awesome video
The man himself John Parsons! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4! It's around the corner!
Magnificent. Thank you so much for all your hard work on not just this wonderful piece of art, but all the other amazing work you have done. I will always be appreciative
Thank you very much for your kind words Paul! Editing these was fun! Hope you enjoy Season 4 coming up soon :)
I've been watching the 1990s series with such enjoyment of late, so once again, thank you for your relentless work. It's a thing of beauty. In a fair world, the LZ estate should endorse this and fund it, but hey...
Had to come back and watch the Trilogy of Celebration Day episodes as it's raining here in Walsall ( five miles from where Robert was born, the echoes of LZ history resonates round here still. I even taught his nephew's family in my job as a guitar teacher) so I haven't moved from the sofa this afternoon, lost down another LZ rabbit hole. I'm indebted to you.
Those last lines of the last episode and the simplicity of a car journey, some music and the joy those moments bring brought a tear to my eye. Xxx❤❤❤
An endorsement would be nice, but maybe a limitation you know? Glad i have such an awesome community of Zepp fans like yourself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the end...it triggered that same emotion as i was writing it so trust me, it means a lot. The 2020 Pandemic looks so bizarre now that everyone is back at the "old normal BS" of hey "remote work is not productive, come back to the office". It seems "less car pollution" to save the Planet is NOT a priority anymore right?
Thank you! For presenting the last few nuggets from the biggest gold mine in rock & roll history!
Gold Mine is an Apt Title! Thank You Tom!
Absolutely classic episode!!!! JCM-you are the one! :)
Thank you so much Jim! Glad you enjoyed this one!
Amazing as always. As a fellow led head thank you. Looking forward to your next release
"Our" pleasure here at the one-man team JCM Studios. Thank you very much for watching the series! Stay tuned for more!
Thanks JCM...great seeing!
I've never been an audiophile (not a knock on those who are) which can be a blessing because I loved this release immediately. My ear is drawn in by composition, energy and the moment. This performance had all three. I see your point though about too much technology these days. Sadly we seem stuck with it...thanks again.
I am not that much on an audiophile in the sense that like you, i value the composition and that's the magic of many 70s records but yeah, the technology these days that engineers try to convince you of using, that's why i record at home and work on my stuff the way i see it. Society today is walking towards automation at worrying pace. Good that we still have music to go back to :) Thank you for watching the series Mat! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Great stuff. Thanks for u hard work, research + enthusiasm. Cheers!
Glad you enjoy it Jeremy! Thank you very much for watching the series! Stay tuned for more!
Thanks Jose, you are a great rock documentarian. I don't own Celebration Day, but have a much greater appreciation of the concert. I look forward to your next series! Magnifico!
Thank you Mike! I have more stuff planned and coming up! Hope you dig it! Cheers.
So this is one of my favorite episodes. @JCM you brought not only the good the emotion and even the bad of this show but most of I think you brought out the elephant in the room. As great as this was it was not Led Zeppelin and that's not disrespect to anyone. This is what I'm getting and I think it's pretty much how I felt about the show. It was a tribute to the music they produced for Amet on that night. I always wanted a reunion. Live Aid was great for me but again there was that feeling again. Atlantic's 40th was great but that feeling again. For me the very first Zeppelin record I ever listened to was not a studio record. My introduction to Zeppelin was a bootleg On Blueberry Hill! I remember it like it was yesterday two vinyls in a plain white double sleeve. Believe Communication Breakdown started it off and it was powerful I was hooked and just thinking of that record that was the difference. The power and the improvisation was not there for any of the reunions. So I guess Robert has been right all along. Like getting those airplanes out of there....na just leave it! Great series!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow Thanks John! Yeah i mean the concert was such a special event you can"t help to smile looking at them having one last go at it but musically time passed and well, the ship sailed. Now while Plant was right my on-going research does show a deeper issue that really explains a lot of theit post Zeppelin careers. It's not easy for Page to "move on", some people really miss the fact that it was HIS enterprise back in 1968 hehe. Hope you dig the next series premiering this Saturday.
Thank you JCM - your three documentaries were really illuminating. The gig of the century!
Thank you B.T! Much appreciated. Hope you spin the record once and enjoy the Zepps!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Oh I do , I do! A lot actually! Cheers and thanks again for your hard work
Thank You JCM! I waited for years to pick up Celebration Day as well! I got lucky and found the vinyl box set at a yard sale for $25 bones! I listen to it all the time. PLAY LOUD my friend!
Loud indeed, if not loud, it's not LED ZEPP! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Nailed the entire Grohl and Vultures 💯
Hehe thanks! Glad it feels this way, what a time for them right? Jones going back to the hard hitting grooves!
As always, great content. No, I didn't particularly like Celebration Day (the album) and I think it has more an emotive value (an exclusive one-off reunion) than a musical one. I don't think the downtuning goes along very well with Led Zeppelin dynamics but they did what they had to do and that was great. On the other hand, How the West Was Won and, even more, the Led Zeppelin DVD (released shortly after) are unvaluable. The DVD in particular is the most vivid document of how wide was the musical range (and culture) of the band in its prime. Through your videos I could also appreciate how the decision of Plant of taking distance from the band from 1980 on was actually the right one: it gave him more artistic credibility and he did what he could to get the best out of his career, despite the massive Led Zeppelin shadow. Page did not have the same determination and I'm saying this as a massive Page fan.
Led Zeppelin was the culmination of Jimmy's professional life. After his session work and the Yardbirds, Jimmy was the founder and creator of the greatest rock band of all. There was and is no higher plateau after that for Jimmy. Despite the band being 4 musical equals, it was Jimmy's band, completely. He was the founder, the leader, the architect, the visionary, the keeper of the legacy, and the main driving force behind the music. He wrote 90% of the music and songs, and was the person most responsible for their career path. All Jimmy ever wanted was to celebrate that achievement, moving forward...but without Robert, that's not possible. Robert is loyal to Bonzo, and would never tour as Led Zeppelin, having gotten out from under that shadow. So while Robert is free to experiment and create as he wishes, Jimmy will always reminisce about his greatest creation. It's part of a long-standing tension between Jimmy and Robert that has probably always existed despite their success, was elevated after Karac Plant died and Plant felt he was slighted by Jimmy, and the final blow being struck when Bonzo died. To some extent, I believe Robert will always carry a small amount of resentment towards Jimmy for the death of his friend.
Jimmy Page couldn't really do something else, his band Was Zeppelin and what could he do right? I agree the Led Zeppelin DVD is an incredible 5 hour JOURNEY that gave us so much...it's insane to think they actually released it. I am still waiting for another live album but i am grateful for what he have. Downtuning songs yeah....if only they played B SIDES instead. Thank you for watching the series GC! Stay tuned for Season 4!
JCM..Hats off to you!
I’ve enjoyed all your docs..
Zeppelin became my favorite band the summer of 1980 at age 14..still my favorite band.
We all know what happened a few months later. So..I’m still waiting to see my favorite band?! Lol. The 2007 reunion was great! Although I like Jason’s drum sound better later in his Led Zep experience shows. Keep up the great work! Love ya man!!
Yes, Jason's drums are SO GOOD on JBLZE! Agree 100%, Jimmy LH i am honored to know you find these videos entertaining and informative as you've been a fan since 1980. I work on this with much respect and admiration not only for the band but for the legions of FANS that keep the flame alive. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Great episode JCM, I agree with you on a lot of things👍
Glad to hear it! I did spin the album today to celebrate the finale of this series, man is FOR YOUR LIFE great! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Amazing, JCM!
Thank you for watching the series Iki! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Another awesome documentary!
Thank you so much!
your led zeppelin videos are the best on youtube. amazing
Honored by your comment! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
The best well done again JCM
Thank you very much for watching the series Robbie! Stay tuned for more!
Yet again FANTASTIC wok on your research!
Just like with the premier of The Song Remains the Same here in Detroit back in 1976 I went to the theater with my lifelong childhood friend to see Celebration Day and was not disappointed! Hat's Off to JCM.
PEACE
LOVE
LED ZEPPELIN
Oh man you went to the Premiere in 76' that's awesome, you know that's pending on my wishlist, i've asked my local theater on the licensing process to screen that movie at least ONCE. Always wanted to see that one at the cinema. My uncle did see it here in my country when it arrived back in 1980. Rumor has it, things got wild inside the theater with too many "chemical lifestyle" choices Haha. Thank you very much for watching the series! Stay tuned for more!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Looking forward to anything you do!
Just finished. 10/19 BOOM. Great job, JCM
Awesome! Thank you! Stay tuned for a new series coming its way! Cheers!
WoW, what a bummer being in the kind of head space you were when this premiered and you got an original copy. My son got me the dvd cd with the rehearsal dvd as well. I found the rehearsal performances were on the whole better sounding as far as Page's guitar work was concerned. Robert even commented "we haven't done this one as well for a long time" referencing Since I've Been Loving You. Love the stuff you bring keep it coming. :)
The rehearsal had better acoustics at Shepperton, had they rehearsed a bit more AT THE ACTUAL arena i think the end product could have been better but renting an arena...well yeah...pricey and i don't see Jimmy saying yes to that. Thank you for watching the series! Glad you had fun watching these as i've had editing them! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Excellent as always and really liked that you touched on the other projects the members were in like Jason Bonham in Black Country Communion a band I do enjoy, moving forward I hope you do all the Led Zeppelin albums (Physical Graffiti) ! For me I do enjoy Celebration Day and knowing I could not go this is the next best thing !
The Black Country stamp of Rock and Roll! Thank YOU for tuning in, there's more stuff coming up! BCC was a VERY tight band, Hughes' voice is insanely good to this day.
Thanks JCM 🇬🇧
Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
JCM man your vids are top notch! Even with the airplanes 🤪 seriously you do such a great job! Sending your links to my buddies to check out
Much appreciated Danny! Can i ask you a favor, please hit Like on my old videos? I realized the RUclips Algorithm is helped by this and it gives them more exposure :) Thank you for tuning in, videos will KEEP coming airplanes or not lol.
Another great episode. I always took The O2 show as their way to feel relief that they finally pulled off a post Zeppelin show successfully. I was hoping for a tour but knew it was not likely. All the wear and tear for a tour at their age and at the level of skill required to overcome scrutiny was not practical. Besides, they don't need the money. Sure, Plant toured a lot, but he did it almost under the radar where the expectation was not and the top of the mountain Zeppelin level. Note: There is nothing available that matches the detail and the passion for Led Zeppelin as what you post in this series. Saludos!
Yeah the wearing and tearing of the road was dangerous for them, specially Jimmy. Thank you for watching the series Mucho Tone! Stay tuned for Season 4! Viene con mucha información hehe.
Excellently done
Thank you very much Frank! Season 4 on The Making of Houses of the Holy is available on my Channel now :)
I glance through the comments and see all kinds of adjectives describing your work on this doco series, but the most telling word is the noun "thanks"
And the best way i can reply is with ONE BIG THANK YOU!
Stay tuned for more!
Great video JCM, the Alternate Version of No Quarter was a nice touch. I really enjoy playing the Acoustic 12-String DADGAD version…it’s darker than the original 🤘🏻
Yeah the DADGAD version is quite sinister, you are right. It added depth to the original 100%
Fantastic work with this episode, as always. I've never bought any of the various versions of CD, and never really had any interest in doing so. Honestly, I was well-contented with the bootlegs that had appeared shortly after the concert took place, as many of them were very well done and really captured the feel of their live performance. It's only been in the last few years that watching the official release provided a new perspective on it, and you really nailed my own thoughts on it. I'll probably end up buying a version at some point. Well, maybe. It's all here on RUclips. This isn't like the BBC Sessions release from back in 1997, which was a day one purchase for me and was more than worth the money I paid for it. That, to me, was the best representation of Led Zeppelin's live performance that's been officially released.
If you end up buying one, tell the record first of all, "hey, it's ok, i will put you next to the bootlegs, just get along with them" hehe. BBC 1997 is a GEM, i love that one so much, i even got the 3 cd version with the interview. I agree with you 100% maybe i will do a video on BBC. Thank you for watching the series Tim! Stay tuned for Season 4!
✈️ leaving in the sound of the plane flying overhead is actually very appropriate … like the beginning of “black country woman” recorded in Mick Jagger’s garden at stargroves… Robert’s advice:
“Naaah leave it”
Haha yes! A Zepp fan reference in there! So cool you noticed man! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Loved every minute of your new episode, as I watch all these recent ones I can’t help but be upset with Robert for not wanting to engage. I know it’s selfish and I am not living it but… Cmon we wanted them so badly!!! Even on Jimmy’s insta I am asking him to come out and play 🎶🎶🎶 Great work Jose👏
Glad you had fun watching these as i've had editing them! Stay tuned for Season 4!
YAY !!!!
I love these
Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Got to see the 02 concert played in IMAX at the Hutchinson, KS Comosphere back several years ago. Great time!
A Very nice setting to experience the film there Nicholas!
👍🏼👍🏼 great job!
Thanks you Señor Brian of the Red Drumcaster Set! Appreciate it very much!
Best one yet man!
As always, thanks a lot for doing it.
Looking forward to the next batch.
Only because you asked, I have never been into this one all that much, although I will occasionally watch Kashmir if it pops up on YT. The slack tuning drives me kinda crazy.
Overall, it was a great show. Will likely never buy the record myself. Only Zep album I have never owned,
I almost stayed in that club of not owning the album hehe. Kashmir is the best cut, absolutely Dave! Thank you for tuning in. Hope you enjoy what's coming next!
2018, Enville fair, Staffordshire England, Robert Plant is near by, and donates to the various dog charity and local charity stalls, and i win a copy of celebration day.
Untill that point i too had resisted buying a copy.
I have been a fan since i was a kid, i have seen our local hero Bob Plant in all his bands, even the sevret gig of " The Priory of Brian" at Dudley Zoo, and I have seen him doing covers with local bands at pubs, and I also see him in our local villages, so it is suprising that I never felt the urge to buy Celebration day.
I plyed it a few times and even copied it to my mp3 lists on my laptop and phone. I stoll play the tracks on random shuffle on my phone in the car, and i never press next track when it turns up as i drive, so maybe I too have now accepted it as a Zeppelin album.....
Acceptance is the first step hehe, i feel you! Hey it's so cool you've seen Plant in such intimate venus and concerts, a very fortunate perspective, cheers to that! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Well said..well done
Thank you Michael!
A full blown world tour wouldn't have worked. Life had moved on since that tragic day in Sept 1980. Led Zep was four incredibly talented people. Without Bonzo it just doesn't work. 2007 was a great tribute to Bonzo really.. It gave Jason the one time chance to sit for a full show in his Dad's seat.
I agree! It was a fitting reunion and homage! Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you once again for your insights and expertise! I've always wondered by the band didn't play Good Times throughout their 70's tours. It's a great explosive opener, contains one of their coolest riffs, and doesn't go into super high vocal territory. This rendition proves how effective it could have been. And I loved that they did Ramble On. One of my favorites, and very well done here. On another note, the Stairway version they do here seems mournful and resigned rather than hopeful and uplifting, but I think it really works--maybe reflecting how things might have been if the dream hadn't ended so tragically--at least those were my feelings when I heard it. Finally, what's with Jimmy's guitar sound? It seems awash in effects. I would have preferred a more solid stripped down rocking guitar sound. Less is more. Cheers!
Well done!
Thank you for watching the series! Glad you had fun watching these as i've had editing them! Stay tuned for Season 4!
If you listen to the O2 bootlegs and compare it with the official release, I suspect the kick drum never made it to tape and had to be rejigged. The great thing about Bonzo's sound was the snare and kick were pretty much up front centre and quite similar sounding. This drum sound really bugged me too man. Thanks that you keep producing these. OFFICIAL LED ZEPPELIN should be paying you for this.
The Kick Drum never made it to tape....that's a great way to put it Guitar Mogul. 100% A Bonham bass, needs to be there, ALWAYS. Alan Moulder could have used a better BASS DRUM sample damn it....wonder why he didn't record Jason's bass drum AT HIS STUDIO and use that.....UGH. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Great stuff ...As soon as I saw a ported front bass drum head , I knew there would be trouble ...
That drum head comment is absolutely ON POINT! Loved it haha! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Excellent
Thank you for watching! More videos coming up!
Awesome ! Every weekend im so excited to watch the new video you do. Cannot thank you enough. cant wait til ya do videos on Page and the Crowes. After reading their drummers book..... yeah there is a lot there that has never come to light on what happened it seems.
I was at the 6/4/08 Plant and Krauss show. Was one of the best concerts ive been to and ive played and been to thousands of concerts no lie. It was that good.
TCV i agree, side 2 is intense and good. Side 1 is blah. I actually own the vinyl release of this. Not a huge fan, was a xmas gift. But that side 2 is really unique imho.
Band of Joy album is the best post Zep Plant album that didnt include Krauss imho. Its different than Krauss and him so i cant really compare the two bands like that and that would be unfair and unwise haha. But Band of Joy was good stuff and live they were so tight!!!
Holy shit 133 tracks !! wowza ! I got a headache thinking of that ! lol
Love that Almost Famous clip. When Hoffman says all that and then says what are you listening to and the kid says "Stillwater" and he hands up the phone and says "Kids on drugs" LOL!!!
JCM, another brilliant episode. I can never thank you enough for all the hard work you put into this project. Yes, Celebration Day was too polished. I thought the same thing with the live version of the movie/concert, "Song remains....." Honestly, I wish they would release raw footage of all the phone videos. At least there would be some realism to it. I'll stick to my guns stating that the big reason this concert happened was the backlash the band was getting with the youtube videos of old blues songs that were ripped off by Jimmy. Percy wanted to protect the legacy of Zep....and it worked. Throughout watch your brilliantly made video, I have a saddened response to Jimmy and why he didn't push on with his music. He could've went the route like Carlos Santana or Jeff Beck and just toured venues with guest singers while releasing albums. It's sooooooo disappointing. Clearly, Jimmy has always been a follower with his shyness and insecurity leading him. He never looks comfortable in the public.
Raw footage from cellphones, yes, that's the way to enjoy such an event really. Your theory on why this happened is interesting though, i need to let that thought sink in. Jimmy is a shy man, no matter what they say. Looking at the band's psychology let's say, he really lost his manager and music soul brother in John Bonham. It makes me wonder why Ahmet Ertegun didn't take him more under his wing you know? Not blaming Ahmet, but it just puzzles me how their careers post Zepp seemed to have been complicated because they DIDN'T want to reunite under the name again. Makes you think how the industry likes revolving doors and bands carrying on with the show at any cost. Thank you very much for watching Astroman, i enjoyed reading your comment!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Yes, I noticed a couple of times through the O2 concert, Percy referring to old blues legends of Robert Johnson and the origin of the song Zep was "covering." Seemed a bit defensive to me.
Incredible work I've done, Mate. Congratulations. By the way, did you ever do de Zepathone sugested by Jack Black? Certainly yes. Kudos Man....
Thank you Adalberto! You know i did the Zepathon once...it sounds easy but its not even for a Zepp fan lol. I will do this again soon. Stay tuned for more videos.
I never noticed that the drum sound on Celebration Day was actually bad... it's not the same of course, because everything that goes into making the sound of a drum is different from previously (the construction and size of the sticks, shells, heads and hardware). Don't forget the hands... I bought the closest equipment I could afford to getting Jimmy's Les Paul / Marshall / Ernie Ball / Vox wah sound. Then we get to my hands... i was oh sooooooo glad that they did "For Your Life." Presence has got to be by far the most criminally underrated album ever. Whining about no softer stuff or a lack of variety just shows a lack of knowledge about the band. They stated - very clearly and very on - that their albums were "a statement of where we were at that time."
The drum sound was a deal breaker for me, unfortuantely it still is! But Jason did play one helluva show! So cool you own a Les Paul + Marshall, that is ROCK AND ROLL man! Thank you very much for watching :)
Great work as always Jose... Robert I think used the O2 concert for clout for his Allison tour .... Jimmy cares so muchhhhh about Zep and it shows everywhere... JpJ cares a bit Robert I think could careless . What a shame !! What a shame our favorite band does not get along . What a LEMON SIZE HEARTBREAKER. ✌🏼👍🏼🤘🏼FOR YOUR LIFE was the highlight for me one of my favorite songs. Seriously seeing Plant tear up was touching I don't think he realizes to this day what Zeppelin means to us .🛩️🛩️
Jimmy should have told Robert he wasn't actually interested in a Reunion and that could do reverse psychology on Plant lol. Yes i agree the 02 Arena was great for the Krauss project to sell even more tickets. The 2012 Kennedy Center Honors for me, are the closing chapter in their story despite the Remaster Deluxe Sets afterwards. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Absolutely Jose .... Pull a Coverdale Page on Plant . 👍🏼
I thought I was the only one who couldn’t stand Grohl,hes got his two scents in everything.His fake tears at Lemmes eulogy did it for me.
Yes, he turned into one of those look-at-me politicians. Not sure why, only those in the business probably know exactly on his true colors. Luckily for us he didn't play with Zepp at O2 Arena, imagine his ego afterwards. Thank you very much for watching the series! Stay tuned for more!
Bravo my friend. Your reply to my comment on part 1 was , stick around for parts 2 and 3.
I did...and you delivered.
Maybe.....a documentary on the Page /Plant mid 90s tour without JPJs...why ? And out of respect for the impossible gig.....Michael Lee playing drums who passed in 07 or 08 ?
Bill hope you are doing great! Glad you enjoy all 3 episodes of this series. Post 90s is on my list as i work my scripts. Everything stars on paper :)
Thanks for making these series', José. I was away from the rock scene through the 80's onward, and wasn't impressed with a lot of what was coming out, so I didn't keep tabs after Plant's early solo career.
I did see Page and Plant live in '97. I thought it was just okay, really. But the interview videos onYT from that period are great! Especially the Australian ones.
I didn't know anything about the behind-the-scenes with the reunions politics, and the first time I ever saw Jason Bonham, or knew he followed in John's footsteps was the O2 show! Have you ever seen JPJ play acoustic Zeppelin with Paul Gilbert from Mr. Big? Seriously great stuff.
Interesting you felt the 97 show was OK, what do you think it was? What was lacking besides Jones? Watching those shows for me is mixed emotions. OH YES i've seen Jones with Gilbert, PAUL was a ZEPP FAN that night, such a crazy guitar hero that is always in the shadow of other peeps...but Gilbert is one of the absolute best. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I didn't think the arrangements with the Turkish (?) Moroccan (?) musicians was that interesting or exciting. Maybe it was early in the tour. I have the same type complaints about the later Plant solo/various bands stuff. When you take the moog or whatever out of 'In The Light, and try to make it a tribal folky thing, for example, it doesn't work for me.'
Led Zeppelin is the closest thing I have to religion, and all your videos are fantastic. Thank you
Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Led Zeppelin forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
During the press conference, a bit of tension between Robert and JPJ
You know...the more i dig into their past and family background as much as possible, there are some reasons, heritage and tradition, it's fascinating to the extent these things can affect individuals. Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
"Silver Rider" is as if Mark Lanegan had managed to slip a thin sheath of poems to Plant before his early exit. Thank you for introducing it to me.
"Silver Rider" and "Monkey" are originally from THE GREAT DESTROYER by the Duluth band, Low. A very worthy band to explore.
So happy you checked this one out, it's addictive right! Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
I will stick to the past including early to mid 80s solo albums. Last thing I bought Zep connected was Page's Outrider release on cassette.
I might give Coverdale/Page a 2nd look.
I will cover C/P when i do the 90s, looking forward to working it. In the mean time, thank you for watching the series Luis! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Another excellent job JCM, you are the high priest of all things Led Zeppelin. As for the Celebration Day releases, I avoided buying it because, to me, it is like a facsimile of the great LZ. I was a young guy when they were the biggest band in the world, I saw them at Pontiac Silverdome in '77 and I just have a hard time seeing them all ''controlled' and staying away from the improvised jamming that, I believe, Robert laid down the law of no jamming! or else he wouldn't do it. I could be wrong, but it just seems to me that Robert has Jimmy over a barrel regarding LZ.
'For Your Life' is definitely a high point. It sounds much more funkier than I remember fom the studio album. I think it's a shame they didn't end with 'I'm Gonna Crawl' from ITTOD. It would have been a poignant bookend to the show
It does sounds funkier right? The way the Les Paul makes that riff come to life, makes me think that the 1975 sessions were so against the clock that the Strat sacrificed much of the beefy tone in favor of slick production. Thank you very much for watching the series! Stay tuned for more!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories thank you so much for putting these videos together. So will done.
Wow now that's a great idea. Would have been so cool.
LOVE the Van Halen She's the Woman reference. Eddie is the MAN. Forever 🙏😎🤙
That riff is INSANE, it makes sense it was reworked from the 70s, you can feel that period's style on the composition. I could never get into Van Hagar.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories totally agree. Having said that it was never called Van Hagar. It was always and shall be . .. Van Halen
I hope you continue to make these beautiful documentaries about Led Zeppelin or maybe, for example, Van Halen??
That's the plan! I'll keep on making Zepp but i've got my eyes set on other topics i want to cover eventually. As i get more comfortable editing these as it is a painstaking process, i see sky is the limit. Any Van Halen period you would like to watch specifically? Thanks for tuning in Dan!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories the final period of Van Halen 1983-1985
SO many good things that you serve up in this series. Have you any JCM original music, lessons, etc.? Maybe others would like to experience JCM music as well. IMHO, Jones stands a little taller than the others. He seems the most level of the lot. Also, he may be as/more accomplished as producer Page. He had a stellar resume prior to ZEP. Donovan and other contemporaries benefited from his work.
Hey William, thank you for tuning in to this series! I do have original music, got two solo albums! You are right on Jones, he does stand taller than his friends. He is the most down to earth guy of the Zepp fan.
Even if Bonzo was with them in 2007 ,Led Zeppelin was a thing of the past for decades. This was Jimmy, Robert, and JPJ playing Led Zeppelin songs.
Yes.
A great way to put it Thomas, 100% Thank you for watching the series! Stay tuned for Season 4!
Thomas,
Well said 👏
I'm take the minority view and agree with Robert Plant's view that to reunite Led Zeppelin for nothing mote than nostalgia and a handful of promoters becoming filthy rich.
It would ruin their legacy. Look at KiSS, the Stones, Eagles and in particular Deep Purple. Deep Purple should have called it a day after the failure of the House of Blue Light in 1986.
Led Zeppelin as a band ended on the 25th September, 1980.
Live Performance: - Knebworth in August 1979. Yes they played a 16 day tour of Europe in 1980. These performances are, or were dismissed as too stripped down.
Celebration Day - 6 / 10
I gave it a 6 out of 10 rating on Amazon. Back in the day Amazon was where you wrote deep, incisive reviews. Amazon ditched this approach circa 2015.
Trolled
I was abused and Trolled. How could I give the greatest ever rock band such a low rating. I compared Celebration Day to The Song Remains the Same and How the West was Won. The latter, How the West was Won was a contentious effort in itself when we found out there were hundreds of overdubs
E.g. Black Dog was spliced from three different concerts
I asked many Zeppelin 'fanatics' who had discovered Led Zeppelin in 2007 ' how can you give Celebration Day 10/ 10; the Song Remains the Same 10/10 and How the West was Won 10 out of 10.
One inane reply was 'but it's Led Zeppelin and they get 10/ 10 as their perfect. That person's Comments lead to a wake up call for real fans aged 43.
Other reviewers, in particular guitar players, eventually, backed me up. They said Celebration Day was good, but definitely not great. Yes, the songs were too stripped down, and, there was no great build up as there was on prior live albums.
I also said that Jimmy took a grunge tone to certain songs.
Time moved on my review forgotten.
A few years later I received a notice from a fan on Amazon.
She said " a Canadian reviewer lifted your review from Amazon. No, they didn't copy it whole, but they took your first two poignant paragraphs as well as your key points and expanded on your observations.
The Canadian reviewer went on a diatribe on the fact that Jimmy Page did in fact 'grunge the chords' on certain songs.
Oh Yeah. Amazon soon after completely deleted my review of Celebration Day.
Yeah, whatever. They were done in '80. There was nobody as good before then, and NOBODY as good after.

Everybody seems to forget this was a Tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, and not a Led Zeppelin Reunion.
