@@Choicecrew91 Yes, they didn't understand what they where seeing or listening.. band was poor and their first 1969 radio show.. robert singing only 19-20yrs old
@@zzzyyyzz and back in the day everyone was stoned as f*ck, they were just all ears, rest of the bodies didn't exist:D They are misunderstood as being bored
They were kids. Early 20's 1969. The beginning of the greatest band of all time. Down the Rabbit Hole! Welcome. This will not be your last Zeppelin tune! The drummer!
I believe Plant and Bonham are the same age, within months of course. I think Page is the oldest??? Maybe 24 here??? I'm not sure. Either way, when I was 20-25, I could only dream of doing something like this. I tried my hardest to party like a rock star but that was about it. Lol
I think since this was a radio along with TV debut for them, the small crowd was probably told to sit and chill. This might’ve been the last time that people didn’t know who Led Zeppelin were.
Led Zeppelin had only been together a few months here. This was being filmed for TV, and the audience was told to stay seated and not get in front of the cameras. They also had not seen anything like this before. It's really interesting to watch the beginnings of their live improvisations. As another writer put it, "they didn't start out trying to be the greatest band in the world, they just were."
This is March 1969. It's early, but certainly not the first. They had formed in August 1968 and recorded the first album that October. They had already embarked on their first U.S. tour in late December 1968 before the first album even dropped (it would be released Jan. 12, 1969). So they had actually been together about 7 months by the time of this performance. Still that is utterly amazing!
Dude...you GOTTA watch Dazed And Confused from Madison Square Garden...28 minutes of the most unbelievable superb guitar playing you will ever experience!!
This is a very early appearance of Zepp. They were great right out of the box! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 They aren’t bored, they are mesmerized. Just think, it was 1969 there wasn’t anything like these dudes....EVER!
So early that they needed to introduce the band members. Just a mere year later, upon the release of their first album, introductions were no longer necessary.
Remember people in the 60s were huge Beatles fans and Zep is a whole different ballgame and they were a new type of Classic Rock and music that people were memorized! Because as good as the Beatles were they werent even close to Zeppelin! Zep had 4 musical geniuses! RIp John Bonzo Bonham! The GOATS!
Anyone into music in the 60s went with the Beatles, Stones, etc as the music developed, matured and experimented, went with Cream, Hendrix etc and were ready for Led Zep, Pink Floyd (mark 2) in 69/70. Add in Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc and it was a magical time to be growing up.
Sal! Thank you for doing their early stuff. This was March 1969. They had been together since late August 1968. They recorded their first album in late Sept/early Oct 1968. Led Zeppelin I had just been released in the US in 1/1969 and would be released in UK/Europe a week after this performance. They did 4 songs from LZI on this day. This is one of my favorite performances of theirs - before they became "rock gods" like in the 1973 MSG performance. Robert and Bonzo were 20, JPJ was 23 and Jimmy was 25. THEY WERE ALREADY MASTERS. Jimmy and JPJ already had credentials as 2 of the best session musicians in England for much of the 60s - both at a very young age. Also the majority of this performance of How Many was improvised!!! Out of the gate, they had used improvisation to an unbelievable degree and continued to refine it over the next decade. LZ did not perform a song the same way twice in concert!! Every player of the music is so clear in this performance date - particularly JPJ on bass. Plus the band was having fun. I've read that - towards the end of the song after "sugar and spice" Jimmy was f'ing with Robert. Jimmy (with JPJ following) did not come back in when Robert expected- so there is sort of a dead awkward spot with Robert walking in circles. Then after a few seconds the band comes back in. They are so confident with each other they can play jokes onstage. ♥🔥 Other songs from this date that are worth the time: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You ruclips.net/video/wO6bRjcyQN8/видео.html Communication Breakdown ruclips.net/video/awc41KCxx0g/видео.html PEACE
This is a very old video. I believe that it was made in 1969. The Led Zeppelin will live on through the decades....they are true masters of Rock, Blues and Jazz put together. Saw them at least 6 or 7 times...absolutely unbelievably awesome! Everyone was moving....so I don't get how the people in this video could just sit there, either. It's such a good feeling to see the pure joy on the faces of the younger generation today, knowing that they are listening and moving to music that is over 50 years old. Thats just Far Out, man(LOL!) Love the channel...just now subscribed 😀 👍
Love how you said, "I've heard their music before I heard their music". Just shows that they are truly a timeless band that everyone can enjoy. One of the few good things about the internet. Peace
royal albert is just awesome. raw. power. just watch john b play those drums on dazed. unreal. i never heard such a beat. MSD is great but royal is pure blues. early zep.
This was a radio crowd.....at a radio station in Denmark.....they had t be “well behaved”. A small “studio” audience if you will. It was also at the beginning of Zeppelin’s career...March of 1969 I believe, before they became huge. This was VERY different and VERY “hard” music for the time. The crowd was probably more stunned than bored. They didn’t quite know what to make of what they were hearing. That soon changed however....They took American by storm that year, and the rest is music history....and legend.
The crowd look a bit bored cos they're 12 year old Danish kids. This was a Saturday morning performance for Danish TV. Which is, in itself, pretty amazing.
That was a typical European crowd in Denmark but they all were usually very subdued in many places like Sweden,, Holland etc,when you look at older vids like these ..Johnny and Edgar Winter were in Sweden playing to a young crowd that barely moved on a vid from 1970...
Back in the days one had to be seated by law in concerts jazz band style not inciting any exitement by the public ! But that was to be to quote New Guinea Pidgin English Long Gone Belong Gone !
pretty much every crowd from the 50s 60s and part of the 70s doesn’t show a lot of excitement. it was a different times and people knew how to contain their excitement but inside they were jumping with joy
I remember back in those times..it wasn't really acceptable for outward expressions of joy..I remember ..most of the concerts I went to were great but the crowd was very tame or just so high they were all trippin
It's not bored but overwhelm or completely shocked (: I mean come on they just got exposed first time ever ever ever ever in history too Led Zeppelin (: Most Giant Crowds couldn't handle them (: Much less this college crowd (: That were totally blown away period (:
The crowd was there for some talk show or something. They had no idea what the fuckwas going on also, at that point The Beatles were the standard and heavy music. Then this came along and people probably had no idea what to say or do. You see this and you just sit there aghast. Most of their first audiences were like that, but then the word started spreading and people were coming to see them and going crazy. Check out the same song at Royal Albert Hall a few months later. The band and the audience were on fire.
I think the bored looking crowd was dazed and confused cos they’d never seen or heard anything quite like Led Zeppelin back in the day... I’m 67 now, and I’d have been freaking out if I’d been there back in the day...
Your looking a Led Zeppelin’s first tour. To Scandinavia of all places, the audience is a very straight Scandinavian youth that is used to Lederhosen Slap dancing having been told to be quietly obedient while recording and having their collective minds blown out of the top of their scones, hence totally vacant,,,,,,
If ever a band existed that embodies all things rock and roll, it would be Led Zeppelin. No band has ever remotely approached the drawing power that Led Zeppelin always commanded. If anyone ever doubted Jimmy Page's acoustic talent need watch & listen to this one 🎸 NOTE: Robert Plant is singing bout his "blue eyed merle collie dog" named “Strider” and at the very end Robert calls out "STRIDER" named Straight out of 'The Lord of the Rings' Aragorn was Ranger of the North, first introduced with therm name Strider at Bree, as the Hobbits continued to call him throughout 'The Lord of the Rings' He was eventually discovered to be the heir of Isildur and rightful claimant to the thrones of Arnor & Gondor. ~Many of Plant's lyrics were inspired by J.R.R Tolkien Live acoustic> ruclips.net/video/4k1bBJ7OF4M/видео.html Plant explains “Strider”> ruclips.net/video/7zTmnZXiv3Q/видео.html
I have an updated reply.....As I read some of the other comments. If these people were told to just sit there and be "polite"(no dancing or moving), they would have had to remove me, because I really couldn't help but to move..not just me, either..everybody I knew, anyway.
Kashmir Trampled Under Foot In My Time of Dying there so many songs you could do reviews on, nobody's fault but mine bron-y-aur Stomp out on the tiles, the ocean
ALWAYS listen to the original studio recording masterpiece sessions of any legendary artist of the classic progressive rock era IT MAKES NO SENSE TO NOT LISTEN TO THE EXACT REASON why it became part of peoples souls otherwise you ruin your virgin listen and you are hearing some version always different if you want to understand HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO LIKE WE ALL DID this is NOT NOT NOT THAT
So I watched this with my dad and he said the people in the audience never heard music like this before and prior to this the Beatles music had been deemed the devils music and the Beatles music is so lame so they were most likely trying to digest wtf they were hearing and also what was gonna happen when their parents saw them on tv listening to it
Goddamn cigarettes robbed us of this mans voice... such a shame. Booze took the best drummer the rock world has ever seen. Satan still owns Jimmys soul so hes fine for now hahaha....
When they were a new band , the sound was a fierce sonic attack . ZEP I was and is one of their best albums .

This performance was recorded about six months after they first met. Robert Plant is 20 years old here....20.
Wow !!! They have been at it a long time

Young man, you have exquisite taste in music, you will go far in life.
I love Robert Plant’s confidence and ability to sell what the band was playing
You gotta love how he feels it at 1:34!
This is one of, if not THE, first performances by Led Zep.
This is March 1969. It's early, but certainly not the first. They had formed in August 1968 and recorded the first album that October.

The crowd was told to be quiet and sit still because it was being shown on live tv

I second that emotion!
No quarter at Madison Square gardens.
This is the most incredible and raw Zep I've ever seen👍

@hellogoodbye4061 beautifully put I couldn't of put it any better what a performance ❤
Awesome 12 years of fame and still going. Best ROCK GROUP EVER.PERIOD.
How many more times? Only a million or so more. Happy Thanksgiving. And on this day I give a big thanks to Led Zeppelin.
Happy holidays!

Everyone can tell you just fell in love. It's one hell of a rabbit hole. Thanks LED.
Truth!
Very eclectic and experimental days they were ❤️
Yeah the crowd were told to keep their chill on, I couldn't possibly hold myself together for long enough hearing something like this.
Love your reactions. When it comes to Led Zeppelin, you get it!
Nobody I mean nobody heard anything like this before. They were quite simply stunned.
Amazing 🎵 🎸 🎼

Try this . Black Sabbath warning, Grand funk inside looking out, then Led Zeppelin How many more times. Best of 1969!!
danes are pretty reserved people can you imagine back in the day they were speechless
The Crowd 🤣 My thought, exactly.
I always thought this song to be the most under appreciated song this band ever wrote.
Love how you said, "I've heard their music before I heard their music". Just shows that they are truly a timeless band that everyone can enjoy. One of the few good things about the internet. Peace
people love msg 1973 but im still struggling to pick between this and royal alberts hall 1970 for their best live performance
royal albert is just awesome. raw. power. just watch john b play those drums on dazed. unreal. i never heard such a beat. MSD is great but royal is pure blues. early zep.
@@myfordranger hard agree, they were firing on all cylinders that night
LZ broke the mold and threw it away! GBOAT(Greatest Band)
I've seen this Magnificent Rock N Roll Band 2x on Colorado USA . 🎼🎼🎼 Master Musicians🎸🎸🎸
Enjoyed this my brother :) subbed :) kia ora :)
Hey crowd was not prepared to this!! Back in 68 imagine hearing this live for the first time in your life. Boooom!!! You get paralyzed and frozen!!!
Those people in the audience had no idea they were in the presence of the greatest rock and roll band ever
Probably they were told to keep quiet for this TV show purposes, on the other hand, it was a Danish audience, naturally colder because Nordic
Yeah makes sense thanks
'Oh Rosie!' (Was jackin' Jeff's Fender really necessary?). This and RAH 1970, best LZ performances, Cday is great as well.

Bonham was the inspiration for Animal on Sesame Street..
What ??? Really
I think Animal was based on Keith Moon.
Shocked Super Stunned not bored (:.
Da GOATS....EARLY RAW FOOTAGE. I think this is 1968!
This one hits hard family.🔥💪🍸
Perfection
The crowd look a bit bored cos they're 12 year old Danish kids.
This was a Saturday morning performance for Danish TV.
Which is, in itself, pretty amazing.
lol some one said they were high
This is very early on, Robert and John Bonham were still in Band of Joy in 1968,
Got a remember that was in the 60s
The audience were told not to go crazy because it was for a TV show, this was around 1969 and the group had only been together for about 6 months...
That was a typical European crowd in Denmark but they all were usually very subdued in many places like Sweden,, Holland etc,when you look at older vids like these ..Johnny and Edgar Winter were in Sweden playing to a young crowd that barely moved on a vid from 1970...

This IS music

you guys reckon hes ready for dazed from tsrts yet?
And to think, Robert still sings and the surviving members were offered, here in 2021... 800 MILLION to return... and they turned it down.
That sound was so good that they didn’t understand it at first. That’s why I think they was looking like that. I think they was just stuck
I dont think many in the croud ever saw anything like this before
not a "violin string" it's a Cello bow.
the crowd was told not to clap or cheer it was at a university I believe
When you get a chance watch the whole performance from this show!!✌️
Crowd wasn’t bored but frozen…they were used to Beatles and than came Zep…another planet 😅😅😅😅

I'm pretty sure Moses came up with that riff dude. Yes, you've heard it before.
The audience never heard the music, within 6 months, the audience did start going nuts.
I think the bored looking crowd was dazed and confused cos they’d never seen or heard anything quite like Led Zeppelin back in the day... I’m 67 now, and I’d have been freaking out if I’d been there back in the day...
They were told not to cheer
Don't blame the audience ,the're on shock.
The motif you’ve heard is the original…and only one ZEP brand!!!
watch how bonham SHATTERS that kit!!!!
It owed him 20 bucks
They're not bored,.. dumbfounded, a little high (maybe). Think about the venue and the time this was recorded.

This is late 60s. How did you hear it somewhere else. Unless someone copied which I doubt
When ya listen to Led Zeppelin,listen to studio version...always studio version!
If you head the riff before then it's been hijacked from Led Zeppelin
