  • Released in 1997, an underrated album filled with Led Zeppelin's raw and powerful live performances. A snapshot of the band at both the blues rock thunder beginnings and the road to their fourth album. Somewhat overlooked by fans to this day, it deserves higher praise within the community as the musicianship is outstanding here. This is the story behind these sessions at the BBC and the context in which they took place. Through rare bootleg snippets and visuals, we will go back to the early day vibes of infinite appetite that shook the world. A 90s highlight for the fans, a historical document and one of the most bootlegged band's of all time. #jimmypage #classicrock #ledzeppelin #robertplant #johnpauljones #documentary #bbcnews #bbc #england

    This was my first Led Zeppelin Album. It was the double CD Edition and I bought it in 2011 or 2012. Our local CD shop didn’t have a Best Of or something and I was really into Live Albums as a kid, so I bought this one. I remember that I bought TSRTS after this and it was a big shock. The set was completely different. It was like listening to two different bands. I miss these times, when I was listening to live albums while doing my homework, or not doing it.

    This was my first Zeppelin release as an adult. I was 21 when BBC Sessions came out and I got simultaneously with Phil Collins' Hello I Must Be Going on CD as in late 1997 I was in my 4th year of college (I turned 21 that January) and dove head first into Genesis after buying the 1994 remaster of Abacab and then my second Genesis studio album was The Lamb. I heard The Girl I Love on radio at the time of its release. What I do remember was being livid that "It's Your Thing" was removed from Communication Breakdown as I recalled hearing on one of the many Westwood One Zeppelin radio specials. Then I didn't know some songs were cut from initial release due to time constraints.
    Also this was released just shortly before the 1997 Pink Floyd remasters of Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, A Collection of Great Dance Songs, The Final Cut and A Momentary Lapse of Reason in all territories where Pink Floyd were on Columbia/Sony (namely here in the States and South America, Japan and Australia) whereas the EMI remasters in Europe from 1994/95 were actually not remasters but represses of the 1980s CDs (the Sony remasters were sourced from the 1994 remastering done for the short lived Mini Disc format). Also was huge into ELP and Yes and KISS (the original lineup reunited) and the long awaited remasters of the Rush and KISS catalogs were released. Styx's first album with Tommy Shaw back was released (a live album Return to Paradise with three new songs, two from Tommy and one from Dennis DeYoung which bookended the album)
    Great minds think alike, Ginger Spice I had a crush on as well. Her, Linda Blair (who was 38 then and with short hair BUT gorgeous with it at the time and she saw Zeppelin at Madison Square in June, 1977 BTW) and Sarah Michelle Gellar were my three crushes at the time, in fact met my best friend Danielle in college that September who had the elements of all three rolled into one and loved my personality from the get-go and is Italian and has put up with my Irish shenanigans and never yelled at me or raised a voice.

    This is a wonderful story, you're path into the land of the Led Zeppelin sounds so much like mine. I was absolutely spellbound with TSRTS when I was 11 years old, in 1988. So, I first heard Traveling Riverside Blues in 1990 when the boxed set came out and that was the lock on the door, I've never even considered leaving the House of Zeppelin!

    Despite complaints you have from a few people about including TV ads from that time period, I find them to be quite a nice touch that really helps to take me back to that point in time. 1997 was a big transitional year for me. I had just gotten out of the military, my girlfriend broke up with me, and I got my start in the IT industry with a job at one of the world's largest computer manufacturers. It wasn't the best period of time in my life, but it was memorable, and one of the best memories of that time was when The BBC Sessions album was released. I rushed out to buy it after hearing my local rock radio station playing "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair", and boy, was I not disappointed! Yes, you can point out all of the faults with this release, which you rightfully did, but at that point in time the album was just what I needed. To this day, there is no Led Zeppelin song performed live that I love listening to more than the version of "Thank You" from this album. It's an incredible track that really shows off the various aspects of the band that they excelled at, from soft to loud transitions, Jimmy's soloing, Bonham's thundering drums, and Jones' haunting keyboards. As always, thanks for this great video, and really looking forward to the next episode!

    Love your material and find it interesting that you got “the fever” so many years later. That’s cool man! I had a cassette tape that had part of these sessions that I recorded on the radio sometime in the late seventies.
    The “dazed and confused” version was unlike any I’d heard and I couldn’t stop listening to it. It was almost better than the song remains the same version in a way. Sadly, the tape has been gone many years now….but when BBC was released, it was there!
    Always liked the live versions of what Zepp did over their recordings because it was unpredictable in a way and it was raw.! Thank you JCM!

      @tektoniks_architects 10 месяцев назад

      Yes, Jose....I had a bootleg CD of the complete shows that later appeared on the BBC Sessions, years before they were released. You have to remember that prior to the late 1990's, the only live music Zeppelin ever officially released was The Song Remains The Same, so fans would be obsessed with finding live material. Vinyl records and cassette tapes were all we could find, until CDs became popular. I acquired a ton of bootleg stuff during the 1980's and 1990's that was very difficult to find back then, but is now pretty easy to find in a wide variety of places.

    Hi JCM,
    In the fall of 1982, my local FM rock station broadcasted the full and unedited Led Zeppelin Playhouse Theatre show
    (recorded on Friday, 27 June 1969) and originally broadcasted in the U.K. on Sunday, 10 August 1969.
    The tapes were discovered in that year (1982) by a BBC employee when he was cleaning out a drawer ― so the story goes... The sound quality was big and dynamic, and the performance explosive on the 1982 broadcast.
    The show received a good write-up article about the find in my local daily newspaper. The show was praised and described as a ‘real stunner.’ The article mentioned how lead guitarist Jimmy Page, was being innovative by using the then-new state of the art electric guitar special effects such as: the Vox V847 wah-wah pedal, the Maestro Echoplex tape delay, and avant-garde performance techniques ― by playing his 1959 Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard with a (cello) bow.
    The Led Zeppelin June 1969 BBC concert recording was aired nationwide on many FM stations in the U.S. that autumn. I recorded the broadcast from my hi-fi stereo receiver routed onto my Pioneer CT-F650 stereo cassette deck using the brand TDK SA high bias 90-minute cassette tape formulation, at a record level averaging +3 dB and peaking at +5 dB, using Dolby B encoding/decoding noise reduction for the best possible sound with the lowest noise.
    The Playhouse Theatre location is: Northumberland Ave, London WC2N 5DE, U.K. (No street number is indicated; only the postcode)
    Thank you for this great episode, JCM
    Cheers! 🍻

I knew it, it sounds so WARM! Nice setup for the recording you made, it's always good to use noise reduction if possible, without going over board i agree. I Google Earth'd the Playhouse Theater, man i really hope i can visit England one day, i'd like to visit all these historic landmarks! Thank You so much for watching!

Kind of funny, I just found out about the 3 disc edition that came out a few years ago. So finding your video was perfect timing. 😅 Thanks for all your hard work on this video.

    I received the BBC sessions cd for Christmas’97 along with a new CD player. Pretty exciting! I had scored my first Zep bootleg record in late ‘89 at age 12 which consisted of the ‘71 session. Hadn’t heard the ‘69 sessions up to that point, so at least CD 1 was new to me. Every time I would scour through the Zep bootlegs at Revolver Records in NYC I’d see several LPs consisting of all of these sessions. So there lies part of the problem with the official release. Hardcore fans may have already heard all or most of these sessions, having paid minimum $20 for vinyl bootleg editions that had been recycled by several bootleggers. Felt like scraps at the time, HOWEVER, the sound quality was excellent on CDs. Cheers, JCM, love what you’re doing. Watching these videos every weekend. Thanks so much, just excellent content.

But here's the thing; they had a really great backing band featuring a drummer called Andy Gangadeen from memory? I actually saw him playing drums at a music festival; guitar,bass, keyboard,drums, everything with companies demonstrating the latest gear. Andy was fantastic! Regarding the BBC sessions? Couple of stand outs for me.... the solo in Thank You to me is Jimmy's best ever for this song. Plus, Since I've been loving you, right towards the end, Robert hits an F sharp and my goodness it's a serious goosebumps moment! Thanks so much as always ❤ peace and love from the UK!

    Great insight Jose, I recorded these sessions on tape back in the 1970's off the radio (John Peel used to repeat them on his late night show). Tommy Vance used to play them as well on a Friday night. I was really pleased when Jimmy put them out on cd. But maybe they could have issued them years earlier, when they would have had more impact? I play the cd from time to time alongside the Blueberry Hill bootleg, you can hear the growth in the band and their confidence. I'm not interested in the latest reincarnation of the sessions as, as you say detracts from the original with over load. The interesting thing for me was the change in Jimmy's voice from the accompanying interview cd. Jimmy did not start smoking until 1973, his voice gained a rasp by the end of the decade. Incredible detail in these exercises JCM. Thankyou for enlightening us.

      Hey Paul, great to hear from you. So cool you recorded these off the radio, that's quite a HISTORIC event. BBC Sessions should have been released in 1990 i believe, to tie in with the BOX SET stuff you know? It would have had a greater impact or maybe in 1985, but we all know the 80s was not kind to Jimmy's agenda i guess. Blueberry Hill is one of my favorites, the energy is brutal. Glad to know you are not into the Complete sessions, it's just too much right? I hadn't notice Jimmy smoking until 1973, now you got me thinking like a hamster on a wheel haha.

Yes!" and as for the Zeppelin show rumors there were still painful memories of Live Aid and the Atlantic 40th show. Yes, the Zeppelin O2 show LATER became "Wow they actually did it well!"

    I think sometimes these releases get caought up in whether they should be selective or just put everything out. It seems it is a can't win situation. Page probably thought they would be criticized either way but thought this may be the last chance to give the fans what they deserve which is a lot. Truthfully, there is so much Led Zeppelin bootleg out there that you can still find gems from very obscure shows just when you thought you heard it all. A great dilemma to have! As for the spice girls, they aren't meatloaf but I agree with what George Harrison said when asked what he thought of their music 'not much, really but they are nice to look at'. Thanks again, JCM!

    The BBC original 2 CD is my favorite Led Zeppelin disc, not album, my favorite disc. it gives me goosebumps every time I hold it and listen to it. Why, well because when it released in 1997 it was the trigger for me to move from Led Zeppelin being a band I like, to the phase of Led Zeppelin painful, aching addiction and craze. And I used to hold this CD for hours, read the booklet again and again.. the edited photos and the clean white of apple (both the tech company and the Beatles white album lable) was magical... and then concept of having 4 versions of the same song on the same disc was my first exposure. It was alsoy first exposure to extended Led Zep jams, I didn't have the song remains the same. I had no idea it existed. The booklet mentioned an few extra bars of the bolero section on how many more times. Itvwas my first exposure to what geeking on music details mean... I never looked back... I can tell hundreds of stories about this disc. From me imagining how the decision to jump into medleys was spontaneous, where Jimmy plays a riff and the band follows masterfully, to hearing the guitar bow technique for the first time (the studio version, for a 1990s music listener sounded like studio trickery so I never understood what they meant by guitar bowing...)

    Here's my story. I got into two bands at the same time. ACDC and Zep. Hell Aint A Bad Place to Be by ACDC was surely easy enough to find. But then there was this other song by Led Zeppelin that i heard and loved. Long, driving, heavy as shit, and slightly like Hell aint a bad place oddly enough. This stuttering guitar pattern. But i did NOT know the title, and no one could help me when i tried to describe the song. Well, long story longer, i ended up having to buy FOUR ZEPPELIN 8-TRACKS (yup, that's what i had in 79!) before i found this strange long driving song that i fell in love with. Kashmir.

    Had all this material already since about 1987 if you had access to the Greenwich Village bootleg record store network. At one time I counted 13 bootleg stores within the Village's borders. All the March & June '69 studio sessions had leaked out well before anyone had the idea to legitimately release the lot. And the 2 radio broadcasts of The Paris Theater and RAH people had in their (more or less) entirety from being broadcast about once a year so the partial release of both was a head scratcher. All this stuff came out too late in the game. It woulda blown up bigger had it come out a decade or more earlier and not in the post-Grunge late 90's when neither Page nor Plant could fill arenas anymore and had to team up just to survive. Someone like you has a unique take on it being so far removed from the sources. It's like my fascination with European Cult Horror Cinema '57-'75.

    Back in the 80's on LA Rock radio (KMET and KLOS) the 1971 set would get played once in a while. I recorded it off one of these broadcast in 85 or so. For some reason it ends at the end of the rock n roll medley of WLL and never goes back to the main riff.
    A few years later a bit of the 1969 session was broadcast that I was again able to record. It was only 5 songs. (CB, ICQY, D&C, YSM and HMMT)
    What struck me about that was hearing the jam at the end of 'Communication Breakdown" which has a funk riff that Jimmy used on the Deathwish 2 soundtrack in 1982.

    I remember back in the early 1990s, before the internet was really available and definitely before there were any online resources for Led Zeppelin information, when I was doing a lot of tape and CDR trading of live shows and bootlegs. I was having trouble finding the 6/27 Paris Theatre recording that was complete. Minnesota Blues was missing a lot of times. It seemed like every bootleg would chop out different segments of Whole Lotta Love. I really wish Led Zeppelin would have released the full BBC sessions in the correct order with no cuts!
    And speaking of cuts, I started noticing back in the 1990s how every time The Song Remains The Same was released on any and every format, it was different. There were extra segments added and extra segments removed. Of course we know that's from three different nights at MSG in 1973 but I always wondered why Jimmy Page fiddled with every last release on every last format since it's 1976 release and changed things. Every time! And if you had gotten the LPs back in 1976 or whatever year, if you got the cassette tapes you were going to have some differences in the two. And then CDs came out haha. And now we have DVD and Blu-ray audio. The only format I never did get for TSRTS was the laser disc and I wish I had when I saw it one time in a pawn shop. I wish I had got it just as a collector's item because I never had an LD player :-)
    I was born 20 years before you according to what you said in the video. But I noticed that your mind seems to work a lot like mine. Except for the fact yours is probably in better shape nowadays and younger of course. But the dates and the details as well as the various versions of Led Zeppelin recordings have been something I've spent decades collecting and trading and sorting through while listening. I've got thousands upon thousands of bootlegs and I really enjoy collecting and comparing the various sources and recordings. I haven't been doing too much in the last 4 years due to being busy as well as having to deal with some medical issues. But I'm really wanting to get back into the collecting and I still try to keep up with anything and everything new that surfaces when it comes to Zeppelin. But man, just being out of it for the last 4 years, I almost feel like I'd be starting over with some of the new material and recordings that have surfaced. It's a blast and it's also an impossible task to think I could ever get or find everything haha. But I sure do enjoy trying.
    Just watching your video today, and what I was thinking about prior to it, I was trying to determine what LP's to listen to. You helped me out with the answer to that question with your video. I got the Super Deluxe box set for The "Complete" BBC Sessions but I have never listened to the CDs that came with it. After seeing what you said about them, you have me real curious now and I'm going to have to take a look/listen. I got the first official release of the BBC material back in 1997. And I loved it. Of course I loved it in the copies on many of the bootlegs through the years that I had heard prior to the official release. But I was really glad to get it when they finally released it. It's hard to believe that was 26 years ago now. Wow!
    I'm also hoping that one day there will be full official releases of RAH 70, all of the Earl's Court 1975 shows (rumors exist that they filmed more than just 5/24 and 5/25/75), and I wish they would release both the Knebworth 8/4 and 8/11/79 concerts. As much as I love my earlier Led Zeppelin, I really do love the way Jimmy Page and Robert Plant played off of each other with the new edition / rendition added on Whole Lotta Love In those Knebworth shows.
    Another great video JCM! Thanks and I'll look forward to the next one.

      It's so cool to know that a true Zeppelin scholar like yourself Brian is tuning in to these episodes. You are right about keeping up with the new boots is daunting, i myself, kinda lost track, but my research for these videos makes me keep up in a way you know? Hope you revisit BBC Sessions with a smile. I also believe the endless versions of TSRTS are one Jimmy's mind games on us lol. I want an official RAH 1970 release, Earl's Court has the problem of Robert's vocals really and the elephant in the room of Bonzo's playing sounding kinda nervous or tired. I will probably do another deep dive on the early day Zepp part of the story, for me it's always fascinating to think the guys from 1968 ended up recording Stairway...ming boggling man!

      @@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thank you for the compliment and you are completely right on those topics too! Personally, I loved the Earl's Court shows but you know how an artist looks at their own work and finds everything wrong with it that oftentimes most viewers don't notice.
      I recall a few years back when Led Zeppelin had that theater release where parts from the 2003 DVD set were used for the video. That was really great sounding in the theater. Nobody knew for sure what was going to be on the screen but we knew what it was as they played it. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything other than TSRTS on a big screen from Led Zeppelin. The Earl's Court footage looked really good too. I could only imagine seeing the complete RA 1/9/70 concert like that 👍

    Great work as always Jose. I would have a question for you. At the 35:03 mark, we can see a picture from the Tous en scène show. I have seen this picture in the past and often wondered what the silver gray pedal near Jimmy is? It looks to me like a Tone Bender fuzz but I thought that Jimmy only used that in conjunction with his Supro amp and dragon Telecaster combo. I did not think that Page used Fuzz with his number 1 Les Paul. Any insight would be very appreciated. Thanks again

But that second gray pedal shown in the foreground at 35:03 does not seem to be a wah. I am rather curious as a Les Paul into a Marshall Plexi with a Tone Bender is a bit of a handful...

You have to figure Zeppelin IV sent them into the atmosphere of R&R stardom!
