The reason JPJ wanted to quit the band was because he was tired of touring and having no time for his family. So they took time off and that helped him.
Hard to imagine but they had some stiff competition back then, so many great bands were out there trying to outdo each other. Together they made the early '70s hard to process. Naive people like me thought this is how music would always be.
The lack of tittle of the fourth album was a big fu*k you to the critics. The claimed zeppelin wasn’t a rock band after the third album. They also adopted symbols representing each of them.
I saw them in NZ in 1972, after the fourth album was released. They were huge, I had all 4 albums. This was the first big concert I went to at 15. It was amazing. I was a big fan.
Well my favorite Zeppelin song is "Kashmir". Either 1977 or 2006, with Jason Bonham on drums. I've been to the Hindenberg crash site a couple of times at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, NJ.
that is not how they got they're name. Keith Moon the drummer for the Who and Jimmy Page were having a pint and Keith asked Jimmy what he is up to? Jimmy replied' starting a new band but we need a bassist.....Keith went on to say ' It will go over like a LEAD Zeppelin.......
That's also not entirely true, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, John Paul Jones, and Keith Moon were going to form a supergroup which is when that comment was made by Keith Moon, the supergroup never came to pass so Jimmy kept the name in the back of his mind for when he went on to form his own group out of the ashes of the Yardbirds.
@@devanworkman8745 Keith Moon said it would go over like a lead balloon. Jimmy liked the idea of that as a name but chose Zeppelin instead of balloon. The band decided to change Lead to Led to avoid any confusion over the pronunciation.
@@lyndoncmp5751 again details........nobody can say 4 sure...A WHO member data the bar tols Jimmy Page his new band will go over like a LEAD ZEPPELIN...............there
In the 70's, every band playing the nightclub and rock clubs especially cover bands, played led Zepplin songs. We listened to live zepplin songs every weekend. One of my greatest experiences was when they came here in 69 not to play but to listen to Jef Beck, Ron Woods and Rod stewart. They walked around the club all evening interacting with the patrons 9epecially females). Just being able to sit arounds with them or stand around and talk was so special.
Seen this before, but always fun to revisit. For your older subs, Sal…never forget we’re fine with 25 minute songs…..so this short documentary is nothing out of the ordinary. Many of us have watched two hour concerts on reaction channels. So…it’s all good. You have a ton of live Zeppelin to choose from. You’ve watched a few from Earls Court and RAH….and the O2……so further offerings from those concerts are always good. I might suggest Nobody’s Fault But Mine from the O2. Or For Your Life, also from O2….the only time that song was played live. Also….there are a ton of interviews you could visit. I think several of us have mentioned the interview from 2012 on the Davis Letterman Show….just after the Kennedy Honors Show, as being a hoot. Truly funny. Also, a ton of excellent live footage from the Page/ Plant tour 1995…… and from Plants solo career and Jimmy with The Firm, the Black Crowes and Coverdale/Page. Lots of great music left for you to discover……just from these artists alone.
They couldn't tour for Presence due to Plant being in a wheelchair, but the 77 tour was still occasionally called the Presence tour by the band in which they performed Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine along with elements of the Tea For One solo being played in Since I've Been Loving You.
They were so huge because there had never been anything like them before or since. They were unique and incredibly talented. Their stage presence was so powerful they blew everyone else clean out of the water. No one can hold a candle to these guys.
actually bad company by bad company came out in 1974 on swan song. I believe thats the first album released on swan song. Peter Grant was a great manager.
🎼🎸OKAY, GREAT IDEA! Here's why I think this was a great idea...for those who didn't grow up in the era when all of the most iconic musicians in music were making it, and are not knowledgeable of rock history, then so much of the amazing and interesting history is lost to you...if you fail to seek for it! Now, all the other reaction channels do a great job in their own way, more or less...and they learn basic facts about the musicians, rock stars, etc...BUT, they never delve into the deep history of those iconic artists and songs. I think you doing this, shows you recognize that there is a lot of important, amazing, unbelievable information waiting behind the door of musical knowledge to be found and learned! I think that is very smart, and valuable. Peace my brother... Michael Kane 🎤
The fights that zeppelins management got involved in the 1977 tour and were locked up for was because Jason Bonham went to grab the Led Zeppelin door tag as he collected them from zeppelins dressing room door and the promoter people grabbed him and took the sign away from him, of course, once John Bonham and Peter Grant, got wind of this… They didn't hesitate to go after their security people and pound the shit out of them for giving Jason Bonham trouble for taking the door plaque from the dressing room ! Imagine going after the drummers kid for taking their name plaque as a collector piece and ripping it away from him ... that security group and promotor was known for being assholes !
If you haven't heard Heart ( cover to Stairway to Heaven) At the Kennedy Honor Center, honoring Led Zeppelin....Fantastic Performance..a Experience Nice to see the boys there, Jon Bonham RIP BUT he's son played drums during the Performance...
This narrator obviously knows little about LZ. He actually said "Dire Maker" and couldn't pronounce Bron-Yr-Aur. P.S. There were a few radio stations back in the day after they had amassed such a huge catalog that played only Led Zeppelin songs.
Knew all the info but hadn't seen this video. It was great fun to watch (30 minutes is not so long) so thanks for including it. As for live performances, you reacted to Going to CA from their '75 Earls Court concert but there are two other acoustic pieces in that set that are worth a watch. That's the Way and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. Their performance of Trampled Under Foot during that same concert was also great.
This was actually pretty brief when it comes to LZ. A lot of miscues/minor details on some of the facts...seemed too rushed to get everything right. What I can say is, your true LZ fans don't mind a proper long documentary or reaction as long as it's right. In fact, I know we'd love to see a full reaction of The Song Remains the Same movie. It's completely intense and different when you watch it as a whole...just like any of their concerts. Thanks again for keeping up with Zeppelin.
small detail always heard that Pete Townsend of the WHO stated that The New Yardbirds would go down like a lead balloon closest resemblance being a zeppelin the rest is history
Songs were short because the radio stations wanted more time for the COMMERCIALS and their contracts with their sponsors demanded a certain % of air time
Peter Grant suggested the spelling as LED - The Song Remains the Same, saw that movie about 25 times as a kid at the free local military camp theater. I also saw the firm but was too young to see my favorite band ever along with the Beatles. The way Black Sabbath got together is also fun and a twist of fate.
Radio stations were run primarily to advertise businesses. The music was an attraction to get people to listen to ads. Advertisers were strict about ONLY 3 MINUTES between commercials. The longer the song, the less money a radio station could acquire. It was the Beatles who insisted on longer tracks, and in order to appease the public, they acquiesced, and let 4 minutes, then Hey Jude was over 7. This was infuriating to the advertisers. who were owned, usually, by one of the main advertisers. FM radio came along and opened up a whole new world, and now longer songs are common.
For a interesting change you should play White Summer (10/8/69 Playhouse Theatre) it's a jimmy page live solo and it's amazing, it clocks in at about 13 minutes
The song remains the same combined with the rain song is excellent recorded at Madison square garden also the live version of in my time of dying is another great one
The Beatles had much more exposure. Their names were on the corners of every schoolkids notebook for maybe 10 years. And they got much more time on the radio. I believe they had several songs in the top five during one stretch.
The Beatles were a pop band and thus had mainstream pop exposure. Zeppelin were a totally different band. All about playing live and albums. You didn't really see much of their faces even on their own album covers. Zeppelin wanted to be more mysterious.
Beiber and Gaga are popular but, pretty small potatoes compared to Zeppelin. The closest in your generation or of today would probably be Queen Bey - known as Beyonce. Or Taylor Swift. They fill massive stadiums multiple nights in a row in the same cities like Zeppelin did. And when their albums drop they are automatically best sellers like Zeppelin. And the two ladies are massive all over the world like Zeppelin. As for record time. Traditionally records were around 2 minutes to 3 minutes - roughly - on popular radio. It was not until the 70s that longer records became standard and that began with FM radio when it was known as underground radio. They would play whole albums or tracks that lasted 15 minutes. There was so much freedom with FM back when they began in the early 70s. There was no regulated time for records to play of certain artists. The 'dj' played whatever. there were no commercials. It was totally underground. It did not take long for the suits to notice that many young people were migrating to FM and they came in and regulated it, gave them commercials and set times to play certain hits. Pretty soon FM was like the old AM. then people ran for XM radio to escape total corporate control. on and on.
You should see No Quarter or STH from 2007. Also all though it doesnt have a footage i would love to see you react to STH from 1971 tokyo it has 100k views. The audio is great.
The reason JPJ wanted to quit the band was because he was tired of touring and having no time for his family. So they took time off and that helped him.
They certainly were the greatest...and STILL ARE!!
Hard to imagine but they had some stiff competition back then, so many great bands were out there trying to outdo each other. Together they made the early '70s hard to process. Naive people like me thought this is how music would always be.
At one point I think it was suggested that they were bigger than the music industry itself, wouldn’t be surprised!!
And they pulled no punches
"In my time of dying" live at Earl's Court. Great live Zeppelin song.

Back in the day i.e. 1960's early 70's radio stations here in Las Vegas would play entire albums uninterrupted!
actually bad company by bad company came out in 1974 on swan song. I believe thats the first album released on swan song. Peter Grant was a great manager.
For Your Life live.
Also, it might be time to watch their movie.
36 hours to record and mix an album. Phenomenal effort 😊 especially for a debut album

At the Kennedy Honor Center, honoring Led Zeppelin....Fantastic Performance..a Experience
Nice to see the boys there, Jon Bonham RIP
BUT he's son played drums during the Performance...
The greatest band.
You should react to "A Brief History of Queen".

closest resemblance
being a zeppelin

Nurses Do It Better t-shirt. Plant's wife was a nurse😉
Also, was it not after he'd been in hospital following his car accident? Possibly a jokey tribute to the nurses.
Songs were short because the radio stations wanted more time for the COMMERCIALS and their contracts with their sponsors demanded a certain % of air time
For those unaware there is also a book called :Hammer of the Gods: After its release it became a New York Times bestseller paperback. 1985

I was at the Cincinnati concert in 1977, both nights.
Yes - I remember the Led Zeppelin years and I liked Robert Plant but it was always questionable what would happen at a concert.
That's part of the reason they were the most popular live band in the world.
The Song Remains The Same movie is a must see Salvo!!!!
The guy intensly underplays Roberts car crash injuries!!!
Check out Sick Again live 1979 at Knebworth
This is from Mr. Beat's music channel. Both his history channel and his music channel are great.
~★♪♪★=- Best Band Ever -=★♪♪★~
I saw the Yardbirds in the 60s and Led Zeppelin in the 70s.
For a interesting change you should play White Summer (10/8/69 Playhouse Theatre) it's a jimmy page live solo and it's amazing, it clocks in at about 13 minutes
In The Light is in my top three, along with Ten Years Gone and Achilles Last Stand
Beautiful 😍🎸🎙🥁💐
I read the book “Hammer of the Gods” when I was 16. All this was in there, and many more fun sex, drugs, and rock and roll stories.
React to the 28 minute long Dazed & Confused from The Song Remains The Same movie
The song remains the same combined with the rain song is excellent recorded at Madison square garden also the live version of in my time of dying is another great one
Although in sales they would be on par with the Beatles, I consider Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd as the Beatles of the 70s.
I would love for you to do Jimmy Page performing White Summer at Royal Albert Hall 1970

Maureen Plant was a nurse
Wipe them all off the map,..
there's one for pink floyd too, you should check it out!!
I was so disappointed with In through the out door. I knew that was the end for the band.
