Wow S.T.Vee you pull out the best footage of the coolest bands. Good old Tortelvis and his crew, Carl Jah shreds with the best of them, and who doesn't love Butt Man on bass. Dread Zeppelin, I love this band.
I saw them live in Philly some time in the mid 90's and was blown away by just how good they were. Tortelvis gets all the love but the band has some serious chops and the lead guitarist was playing Jimmy Page riffs and solos note for note. One of the best shows I've seen and just about the most fun I've ever had with my trousers on. Thanks for posting this.
@@wobbleshop8877 I loved that place, saw many great (and some ungreat) shows there. Now that I think about it must have been '91 or '92 as Putman was still playing bass and the original lead guitarist was there.
Dread Zeppelin was emerging right around the time I was in/completing High School. I remember first hearing them on the local radio stations and seeing them on some TV appearances then- and perhaps found them more entertaining than the band that inspired them and provided significant source material. 😂 Then on a related note, there was El Vez, the Mexican Elvis, that was on the airwaves close to the same time. As Mojo Nixon famously quipped, "Elvis is everywhere."
I remember them well, they got a lot of exposure in the early 90’s, possibly due to LZ coming back into fashion/legendary status. They were/are a great band that ROCK! Thank you for this.
i saw Dread Zeppelin with Mojo Nixon in London Ontario in the early 90's it was fantastic, Tortelvis with the claw and Mojo with that sheep, fuck ewe, so funny
Couldn't agree more....had the privaledge of catching them unexpectedly one evening.please do a reunion tour.. you can count on me being there if you do.... the world desperately needs levity now.not to mention entertaining music.....
My friends and me had their first album in heavy rotation, and we saw them live in Munich in '90 or '91. Great music, great comedy. Thank you for posting!
Flo and Eddie (Zappa's early 70s band members) incorporated parodies of songs by other musicians like George Harrison and Fleetwood Mac in their shows. Their tight backing band could mix up genres the way DZ does. I'm sure they were fans and probably went to a few shows.
I was fortunate to see this lineup back in 1990. In a tiny little bar in Lawrence, Kansas. They've gone through some changes (rip Jah Paul Jo) over the years, but the original band was the best in my opinion.
Thanks for this I've never seen DZ but have 4 of their albums Un-Led-Ed, 5,000, Hot Spicy Bean Burger and No Quarter Pounder (my favorite). They're fun to listen to.
I saw these guys in San Diego somewhere around the early 90's, I was really stoned... 2024 I'm listening to these guys on youtube, really stoned...maybe I'm still there but here if you know what I mean?
I had only ever heard about these guys. I did have a chance to see them BITD. I forget why I didn't. It might have been laundry night or something. No matter. This video kills. Black Dog Reggae. Custard Pie WTF? They are absolutely loving it. Can't buy something like this anywhere that I have seen. Musical comedy is very hard to do. It has a tendency to get too nerdy or obscure. These guys treaded the line so very carefully and succeeded. Bravo.
True, only ones that come to mind are the mothers of invention with Flo and Eddie , the tubes, spinal tap and the legendary Louis prima with Keely smith and Sam buttera ant the witnesses
"Give me an A-flat minor 7th...diminished." (36:37) Like, specifically. I know what I want. 😀 That was more fun than I expected. Thank you for posting! 👏 👏 🙂
I wonder what AI would say if you asked for “give me Led Zeppelin playing reggae with Elvis on vocals”. It would probably tell you it was not possible, and why would you ask for such a thing?😂
Whenever the term "concept band" comes up I always bring up DZ. What they have in common with acts like Tragedy etc is musical perfection. DZ had a trifecta of parody.
I heard them being played on WDET public radio in Detroit in the mid 80’s and ran out and purchased the Un- Ledded Cd, then $500.000, then The Sessions CD’s . I love The Song Remains the Same and Your time is gonna Come.
I saw these guys in SLC, early 1990’s, I was so excited! It was weird, it’s like everyone else in the audience was angry at them. I am a very calm person as we’re friends, and we all got in fights. People were booing, and I am pretty sure they cut the show way short. I don’t know if anyone knows what happened, but Utah is a seriously weird place, and stuff like that happens. I think the Mormon stars align and everyone loses their minds.
Excellent! You're raising the bar again, Steve. A friend toured them here in Oz, maybe the same year, so good & so much fun! I'm reminded of an Irish bloke, The King, who released an LP called Gravelands full of Elvis style covers some time in the 90s, went a little like this...ruclips.net/video/RuBAqCBFNF8/видео.html
They're just sick at what they do. I think I remember how there were two ways to like Zepplin in the 90s...One was learning Stairway to Heaven, the other was learning Butthole Surfer's Hairway to Steven..I ws of course in the latter.
Hilarious! And yet it works somehow. Fat Elvis singing Zep tunes with a Reggae Rhythm underlying it all? Jah Mon! A Blued and Reggae blended hybrid! Wonderful!
Saw them several times in Tucson, Arizona. They used to play at a small club on the south side of the UA campus. It was always fabulous music. This performance does not match up to what I saw. Good, but not like live in a small venue with the band bunched up and tight. I've got a couple of their CD's. Smart move in producing and publishing their own music. I always assumed they made their fortunes - bailed on the music scene and just enjoyed life in CA!

"My name is Peter Alexander" 😂 when playing in Germany. In case you don't know him, listen to his music 🎉
32 years later, the time is ripe for a Dread Zeppelin revival! Tortelvis for the people!!
LOL nice one! I'm in
Tortelvis in 2024!!
Ha ha-I can dig it, that'd be cool--I'm in too! Tortelvis is da man!
Tortelvis for Pope. We got a religion here.

Timeless music …who else is still listening in 2024?❤
Here from Wichita Kansas in 2024
They're like _Devo_ meets _The Cramps_

Chestnut Cabaret shows were great! Think Mojo Nixon might have opened for one of them. Thanks for jogging a great memory outta my dusty brain 😆

By chance I have quite a few videos from El Vez, including one full concert. Thanks for commenting and sharing your memories of that time.
El Vez 👍
まったくを以て哲学みたいな思考回路だ。イカしてる。別次元の多次元宇宙を表しているし、異次元のもみあげや衣装もまったく異論はない。技術的にも、アートとして観てもかなりイケている。黙ってられないほどクオリティは高い。徹頭徹尾ハイクオリティなトリップ感覚満載のコミックバンド、これはヤバいね
This is both mental and mesmerising. Thankyou so much for this STV.
Thanks for watching and commenting Chris
This is fun. I forgot about these guys. I love the guitar player throwing in the riff from the Batman tv show theme song at the end of the first song.
I remember them well, they got a lot of exposure in the early 90’s, possibly due to LZ coming back into fashion/legendary status.
They were/are a great band that ROCK!
Thank you for this.
Genius These were brilliant whatever happened to them they were big at one time
🎯
Where are they now!! ?
✊GR8 Vibes..🎶🤍🕊️
Remeber when rock was fun? This great thank you
Saw them in Florida in 1990 at a college campus show. Maybe 1000 fans in a smaller venue, and they rocked!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Christian
I'm fuckin speechless, the most awesome sound I've ever heard, proper bunch of geezers, (yes I'm English lol)😎
I'm glad you found and enjoyed this video John
This is the best thing I've seen in ages.
I saw them around this time. They became one of my all-time favorite bands.
Just awesome !

Thanks for watching and commenting Peter
Oh man!
I bet that Zappa would have LOVED these guys!
I never gave it a thought until you mentioned it, but you are probably right
Actually in 88 Zappa himself played a raegga Version of Stairway, having his Brass section playing Jimmy Page's Solo note for note.
@@olafwolgast3127 I’ll have to look for that. Thanks!

I've been staring and listening to him for the past 15 minutes.....I think that's Elvis!!
Who's here in 2025?
😂 Not yet, but I will be! 😎

Unique band, it requires musical talent, imagination and creativity to mix The King and Led Zeppelin with reggae.
Thanks for watching and commenting
This is fuckin awesome!
Thanks teevee , I had heard of these maniacs, but never heard/seen them. Just entertaining as a m***erfu**er awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰😉🙃
Haha! Yes!!! I saw them once, not too long after this! Totally forgot about them until now
Great Scot!!
What a treat, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it

I wish I'd seen'em
Sweeeeeet
Why have I never heard of these guys????? They should have made it BIG!!!
You're doing God's work here!
Thank You Ron 😇
The lead guitarist fingers are so long! He can really easily reach all the chords! I'm jealous!
F n Awsome !!!!!!!!!
You might think I'm crazy and I've been to a lot of shows but I seen this band in a small club and they were flipping amazing.
Man, I would have loved to see this spectacle live, Nice, very nice.
Thanks for watching and commenting Mark
How did I get so old before finding out about this lot?!
Brilliant!!!
Happy with the original coloured vinyl since then.
Plant and Page should be soooo great full that the King is singing their songs they were big fans of the King. Pure Genius ! Saw then back in 89.
These guys rocked!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Best misty mountain ever
Hahaha 😂 These guys are unhinged and totally brilliant. Elvis, Led Zep and Reggae. What an inspired idea 😂😂🤘😎
🤩 tY! i listen to them daily
Back then all you needed was a gimmick and unbeatable riffs
Awww man I’m watchin this again ! I love this guy!!!😂😂😂
❤❤❤ then and now
I saw these guys in San Diego somewhere around the early 90's, I was really stoned... 2024 I'm listening to these guys on youtube, really stoned...maybe I'm still there but here if you know what I mean?
It's still the 90s dude, this is just a hallucination 😉
Saw them at Cambridge Junction and it was a brilliant gig, I've got Unledded somewhere.
I had only ever heard about these guys. I did have a chance to see them BITD. I forget why I didn't. It might have been laundry night or something.

Lookin, and playin good
On the same bill that evening: Galaxie 500, The Mission, Einstürzende Neubauten. DZ were a complete and very nice surprise to me!
That is an amazing line up
These guys rock!
Saw DZ in Tahoe, great show, small venue, got to meet the band. Those were the days!
"Give me an A-flat minor 7th...diminished." (36:37) Like, specifically. I know what I want. 😀
That was more fun than I expected. Thank you for posting! 👏 👏 🙂
That's the kind of perfectionism I would expect from these guys.
Damn, they’re great musicians too. Now that’s entertainment!
I think their guitarist plays cleaner than JP himself!
They have been the best since the gitgo!!!

One of the best 😅
This is so absurd, but it sounds good.
I thought Elvis’ last concert was in Indianapolis !!!😂😂😂😂
the American tradition for parody bands.. between Surf Punks and Tenacious D
This channel is a time tunnel
Thanks Franklin
Who needs drugs when this is available?
Ultimate ride 🙏👍🤟
Ya Mon.....genius type ting going on.!!
Plant should have gone this way, utterly awesome.

(I came back here to remember laughter)
Has the look and feel of t.i.s.m (this is serious mum) gig. Without the seething anger and potential for violence.
I love me some Dread Zep! I want to know what brand guitars those two guitarists are playing? They sound killer! Thanks for sharing this! 🙏
Shame they dont film the end of Stairway to heaven... one of the best covers of the world.
Yep love it, first time I saw and heard it I thought WTF, but my surprise turned to love.
They're just sick at what they do. I think I remember how there were two ways to like Zepplin in the 90s...One was learning Stairway to Heaven, the other was learning Butthole Surfer's Hairway to Steven..I ws of course in the latter.
