He’s a Goddamn Wizard. He, Bonham and John Paul Jones orchestrate literal magic when the icon himself, Robert Plant, steps away. Than they take you on a mystical, occult like journey. Transcendent in its entirety. I mean, I personally don’t believe it, but I don’t deny peoples beliefs who truly think they sold their souls to some dark entity. There’s just something about the music that’s so mystical.
I was only one month old when this was recorded, my parents went to see Led Zeppelin at the Forum in L.A. in 1973 two months before I was born so I can say I've been to a Zeppelin concert 🤟🤟🤟
John Paul Jones is not a great musician. He is truly a once-in-a-lifetime musical GENIUS. He understands music on a level that 99.999% of people can never comprehend.
Jones was the icing on the Led Zeppelin cake….his multi instrumental ability gave them a level of versatility and range that put them light years ahead of everyone else.
Nice to know someone else understands that…but, if it wouldn’t have been for Plants vocals, I’m sure Zeppelin wouldn’t have been as iconic as they are.
As that saying goes..."they truly were lightning in a bottle", all 4 needed to be there to capture that, they came together at the right time, you take away anyone, they still would have been great, just not the lightning thing.
I have seen them, Eric, Jimmy, and Jeff, and they do not compare because they are so different. In his own way or genre, Jimmy was the best, an amazing talent. This solo kicks ass!!!!
Same here. I’ve seen all of them many times. In fact, I saw all of them on stage together at the arms benefit concerts. Jimmy wasn’t in good shape then. Jeff Beck stole those shows. But in my humble opinion, it’s Jimmy page . His music is hypnotic to me.
I keep telling it is maybe his best solo and that's a real pity that Jimmy Page cut parts of it on the new remaster... but I then read that it was the same on the video, which I got to discover 10 years later than the live album, but I had not noticed when watching it... I didn't listen /view it so often, compared to the double LP but still, I watched it a few times and i felt ashamed not to have noticed the difference before, while I noticed it immediately when i listened to my newly bought remastered double CD....
With out a doubt they are # qthe music they put out their lets see I'm now 67thier is not a group that can pass these guys they are on a platform by themselves come on got to love them
❤ 11:55 IT WAS ONE OF THOSE EXPERIENCES THAT CAN'T BE EXPLAINED BECAUSE YOU HAD TO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF. I EXPERIENCED LED ZEPPELIN AND I AM NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND IT COMPLETELY BUT IT WAS A INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE 12:33
The solo is mind blowing but I think what makes Page historically great is the way he plays the whole song - his sense of dynamics, his fills and the way his riffs, chords and solos flow dynamically is in my opinion paints the most complete picture in all of rock history. As much as I love the solo I’m blown away at the climactic riff at the end the way he plays a really fast flurry of notes with the wah and just flows into the main riff. He and the band had a genius for creating the most dramatic effect. That’s just so Jimmy Page!
Dan....I myself a 30 yr road player. I think u nail the page thing.... on the head. The pain and the volumes chosen to convey and the attack. Spot on pages very best I think maybe. However the first 40 seconds since I've been loving u may be the greatest single into solo ever played. I just don't know. We change our minds daily depending such small variables. Lol
His lines are infinite, and he plays so freely. He doesn't aim for _perfection_ , he aims for _expression_ ... When you watch him play it doesn't look like he's playing a guitar, it looks like he's painting a picture. It's like this crazy mixture between harmony cacophony at the same time. A much more realistic expression of the human condition imo. No of this fake ass pre-rehearsed rudiments and scales. Just a clear window into his imagination and soul.
I understand why they stop playing as band when Bonham died. They were an absolute team, a Dream Team of the Rock!! Play this song live close to perfection is what I truly admire. A masterpiece!
@@frankdiscussion2069totally agree about the Keith Moon comment as well. You’re also right about John. It’s like taking Mick or Keith away as well. It ain’t the same. Just saying man.
Listening again - this really might be the greatest representation ever officially recorded that captured all of Page’s greatest, and most emotional, nuanced phrasings in a single song. It just sounds like he’s singing - pure, soulful communication. Just jaw dropping. And I assume he did this many times throughout 1973? But also, the riff and use of the wah is so fucking cool and unique. The man is a genius. My idol!
The man is immortal but then I’m like wow only John Bonham, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones could have accompanied him! No one is cooler than Jimmy Page lol even the name.
@@markymark560 well it was so loud, it was almost hard to tell one song from another, the whole concert was as sonic blast, they had two giant towers of speakers about 30 feet high with air raid Klaxon horns on top, it was actually too loud !

A drummer knows when to play a multimenstralist knows exacly whatcshould be done , a vocalist delivers perfection , a guitarist has pure vision , this is Led Zeppelin
@ivanjulian2532 Ivan, why do you gotta act like a child 😂🤣 We're not Taylor Swift fans. Cmon, man. !!!EVEN worse, you're a keyboard warrior about it and whine all over this comment section. Stop embarrassing yourself, bro 🤦♂️
It is one of the greatest rock and roll, metal, hard rock etc solos ever ! Hands down and listen to that rhythm section too - accenting it and helping move it along.
Arguably one of the greatest live solos in the history of live rock music. John Paul Jones is absolutely legendary, Page beyond words and Bonham in this moment is the greatest living drummer of his era. They should be getting kids to listen to this stuff in school. They are incredibly tight and perfectly playing together and the feel is beyond belief- magical!
They weren't always on their A game. It's important to remember that early raw Zeppelin were not as technically gifted in the later days, but what they did have was chemistry and even though material from the early days was more technically brilliant, the later the days got, the more the chemistry came through, flaws and all.
as far as im concerned , this is the point where everything came together ...and this song exemplifies how they were truly im command of their art the dynamics , the emotional investment , the musical telepathy engaged ...almost every placement, nuance and articulation of the piece is performed as if it was charted , though we all know it was just that " tight but loose" chemistry that was inherent to them from the very first rehearsal . its pretty obvious to me , that they were at the top of their game here ...and no one was going to even come close . like watching brando ... , theres a reason deniro , pacino , etc all said he was the best ...and thats because he was literally building the templates of the new modern design of portrayal ....for all to build upon
For me the best part of the song occurs between 3:30 and 6:00 where the song slows down almost completely and then slowly picks up steam again right before the guitar solo. There's an under-stated brillance here; sort of jazzy, yet funky. I could listen to this a million times and it never gets old.
@Rich Southall You’re exactly right. I listen to this everyday because I think it is a work of artistic genius. I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to complete it. They all must have thought it seemed they had gone to another world and back.
Very true. There is something like the first movement of a symphony, sonata form. The theme plays for No Quarter. it crescendo's and dies down. And then there is a long period of development and finally it comes back to the start, another crescendo, the climax and then dies away. Very much like the first movement of a Beethoven Symphony.
I honestly like the original ‘76 release of this live album better. Moby Dick was longer, Whole Lotta Love had a reference to The Crunge, who agrees with me?
@@johnjeczalik8960 Without a doubt. WLL and D and C versions on the original vinyl had amazing movements and changes, why were some lost? This No Quarter mixes back in the beautiful rhythm cords of JP playing to the melody of JPJ just before the solo. I was devastated when that was taken out of the CD
It isn't cut, I've heard the bootleg of this solo, the remaster has the original end part of the solo on it as it was heard by the audience. 08:52 onwards is a different performance of the ending tacked on to the end of the solo.
Whoever said this is the greatest band to ever stand on the stage was not lying. Nothing has ever even come close to what Led Zeppelin did. Led Zeppelin at its worst was head and shoulders above everything else around them. Jimmy played a very brilliant part in this song, but the composition belongs to John Paul Jones. The song was recorded in D minor and showcases John Paul Jones’s classical roots…nothing can or ever will come close to this band again….. John Paul Jones was the icing on top of the Led Zeppelin cake. His multi instrumental abilities put that band above everything around them. What would going to California be without the mandolin? What would no quarter be without the incredible keyboard playing? What wood in through the outdoor be with without Jones on the synthesizer? What would the rain song be without Jones on the mellotron? To this day, everything else runs second place to Led Zeppelin.
I was at this concert in 1973 and it was my first rock concert but it sure wasn't my last. I saw Zeppelin 3 times and many other bands in my 64 years 😎
Love this!!! Can u tell the story of the night you had? Would enviously love a long winded personal account of your experience, at least several romantic paragraphs so we can live vicariously would be such a privilege, please and thank you and sincerely jealous!
You lucky bastard. 🙂 I was born too late. Tried to see them for the '77 Presence tour when I was 14 or 15, but tickets sold out too fast on the same day as they went on sale and got shafted. Was nice to see Plant/Page, but no obviously no Bonham and JPJ.
Not just Jimmy. The entire band Bonzos drumming adds a sense of urgency. John Paul’s keyboard work is masterful. Jimmy’s arrangements and time signature tricks in the composition truly showcase the depth and talent of the band
As soon as Jimmy starts noodling 12 bars before the lead solo begins is hair-raising ( literally) in anticipation of what's about to come! If you haven't listened to this with a set of really good studio style headphones turned all the way up then you are missing out on the hypnotic way all of them came together for those brief few moments in time where everything and everyone were as 1 and Jimmy let loose with probably the best solo he's ever done live that was recorded ! I've heard another recordings of this song òn bootlegs and none of them were as tight and grabbed me like this did ! The opening notes of the lead just reached out and grab you and its just on an crackin' from there. At the 12:45 mark to me anyway is when Jimmy wasnt thinking he was just playing and he held nothing back from there til the end of the solo !! Fucking amazing ! I'm glad I was around to witness this rare look at JP offering his best stuff to us all
Page is phenomenal! This solo alone makes him one of the greatest ever, dont care how sloppy he was at times (heroin) Plant sings great also here, love his approach and style
This was Zeppelin at their best in 73 in NY! The song remains the same is the best live album ever, every song and note is spot on and on this 3 night stand at Madison Square Garden they caught the best rock band ever playing at their best!!! Everyone should own the DVD!
There’s something about this version of “No Quater” that’s so mystical and otherworldly. Feels like I’m walking down a dark and cold road on a cold, winter, night in mid evil Scotland or England. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham were wizards at their craft. They just transport you. Every single time. Greatest band of all time, and it’s not even a competition. What Zeppelin did between 69-80 might never be replicated ever again.
It's not just Page. Listen to how tight JPJ and Bonham are on the breakdown. Then Bonham switches to play with and around Page. They were lightening in a bottle and will never be repeated.
That's the solo I remember from when I bought TSRTS when I was 13; then saw the movie, then saw them live riverfront coliseum Cincy April 77. My heart and soul, I love these guys. Bonzo forever!
@@lauraelliott4862 we did not get to OUR seats til they had just finished up TSRTS . We held each other the whole show it was so loud. We were so close I saw who I know now were grant cole lefevre.
Even at 7 years old in 1974 I was mesmerized by the sound of these guys. I didn't know exactly who they were yet but I found out as soon as I could and I was hooked. Nobody could create such a momentum or had the sheer gravity. Even a little kid could hear just how great they were. Whole lotta love was the song I heard and I had never heard such a thing and up until that time nobody had heard anything close to that kind of sound. Go back and look at what existed before them and everything that came after. They laid down the blueprint for rock and roll of the 70s.
Что сказать нет слов пейдж великий а какой заход? Фантастика! Это и есть роковая хирургия такой группы небыло нет и вряд-ли будет мне 67 слушаю с 5 го класса и каждый раз что-то новое ловишь это чудо это лед зепплин!!!!!
Amazing. Simply the best solo for No Quarter. I've heard several versions, but this one is simply the best. Compact, straight from the ears to the soul.
The best Goth song ever! Jonesey’s swirling keyboard motif, Bonham’s crisp kit, Planty’s ethereal moaning and Page’s amazing solo, his best. Him and Bonham just knew how to play together. John emphasises every dramatic point in Jimmy’s solo. Whether the click of the hi-hat; the crack of the snare or the pounding triplets of the bass drum - it all fits beautifully with JPJ’s mysterious journey. Plant’s voice at the end sounds as if he’s raising the Devil himself! Just magic.
@Release The Kraken This is the best guitar + drummer solo. Telepathic understanding of each other. CM is just a rendition with a back up band. THIS is real, old school musicians who could just plug in and play and PERFORM......!
The thing is, after 1973 there aren't many concerts with good sound anymore, mainly because of Plant's voice and Jimmy's addiction. But the instrumental peak of LZ was undoubtedly in 1973, even though Plant had lost his high pitched voice, Jimmy wasn't on heroin until 1975 and after that it was pretty clear he wasn't the same guitarist, he still had his moments but he couldn't top 1973 which was his best year ever. Have a listen to other concerts in 1973 as well, they sound awesome.
@@joebamba1 oh I know man. 73 was their peak in pretty much every aspect. There’s definitely moments post 73’ that are still amazing but yeah… Regardless. Even LZ at their absolute worst still sounds amazing live. I couldn’t believe this person thought they sounded crappy live.
@@dylanstacey3514Every now and then I listen to 1979 Knebworth and am enjoying every second of it. Sure Plant has terrible vocals in the beginning, but he warms up pretty well later on. It’s one of the rare concerts where the whole part of it was recorded. I don’t know of many that were apart from Royal Albert Hall, Earls Court and Seattle. It’s a nice watch and especially the connection between Jones, Jimmy and Bonham is unmatched. Achilles last stand sums it up pretty much and Plant even said the same thing in an interview. One of a kind.
The Passion of the Page on full display. What he gets out of his guitar in this song is nothing less than a symphony. Just incredible. The man is all feel and his subtle dipthongs and bends that begin and end phrases come from the deepest part of his subconscious. Fn A man. Incredible. In 1988 I was able to see him live at the Ritz in Manhattan. I was leaning on the stage 4 feet from JP. He let loose on In My Time of Dying and it was absolutely sublime. Everyone in the room, including Jimmy was out of body, intermingling with the universe.
3:25 - 10:11 is genuinely one of the best things to ever occur in rock and roll. Out of all the magnificent, ethereal Zeppelin moments, I come back to this stretch the most.
Good idea to have mixed the two versions together to keep the fantastic guitar solo in the middle complete... Thank you. This version is really unique, one moment of grace in "rock" music. Jimmy Page was incredibly inspired there.
The fucking atmospheres Jimmy creates.... He doesn't play music, he shifts space and time
100% the truth brother!
And it was obscene how good he was.
He’s a Goddamn Wizard. He, Bonham and John Paul Jones orchestrate literal magic when the icon himself, Robert Plant, steps away. Than they take you on a mystical, occult like journey. Transcendent in its entirety. I mean, I personally don’t believe it, but I don’t deny peoples beliefs who truly think they sold their souls to some dark entity.

There is no better solo
the stairway solo gets a lot of well deserved credit, but yeah I love this one even more.
Sure they do.
this is my favorite guitar solo
Page is amazing Legend ..as is this whole band ..
That guitar lick sarting at 7:35 and onward is the meanest shit ever
Jimmy Page was a wizard
At 7:35 he moves to the bridge pickup
Best version of No Qaurter by far....
Super clean guitar tone too, but it would still break up when he wanted it to. The O2 performance guitar tone in 2007 was way too distorted.
Check also Mobile May 1973 for the opening, heaviest ever riff of this song-also one can see where Sabath Bloody Sabath riff came from.

They weren't always on their A game. It's important to remember that early raw Zeppelin were not as technically gifted in the later days, but what they did have was chemistry and even though material from the early days was more technically brilliant, the later the days got, the more the chemistry came through, flaws and all.
as far as im concerned , this is the point where everything came together ...and this song exemplifies how they were truly im command of their art
the dynamics , the emotional investment , the musical telepathy engaged ...almost every placement, nuance and articulation of the piece is performed as if it was charted , though we all know it was just that " tight but loose" chemistry that was inherent to them from the very first rehearsal . its pretty obvious to me , that they were at the top of their game here ...and no one was going to even come close . like watching brando ... , theres a reason deniro , pacino , etc all said he was the best ...and thats because he was literally building the templates of the new modern design of portrayal ....for all to build upon
For me the best part of the song occurs between 3:30 and 6:00 where the song slows down almost completely and then slowly picks up steam again right before the guitar solo. There's an under-stated brillance here; sort of jazzy, yet funky. I could listen to this a million times and it never gets old.
@Rich Southall You’re exactly right. I listen to this everyday because I think it is a work of artistic genius. I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to complete it. They all must have thought it seemed they had gone to another world and back.
4:44 When Jones bass/keyboard reminds me of The Police Wrapped around your finger.
Very true. There is something like the first movement of a symphony, sonata form.
The theme plays for No Quarter. it crescendo's and dies down. And then there is a long period of development and finally it comes back to the start, another crescendo, the climax and then dies away. Very much like the first movement of a Beethoven Symphony.
Slow fabulous ride to a crescendo of riffs that just blend fabulously.
It's not included in alot of the releases of this song for some reason .
Easily his best moment live, ever.
This is a man at the top of his game, arguably his peak.
I Agree he was Often not So Good live
I honestly like the original ‘76 release of this live album better. Moby Dick was longer, Whole Lotta Love had a reference to The Crunge, who agrees with me?
@@johnjeczalik8960 yes it has to be said, the original release was lightyears ahead, especially when it comes to this song in particular.
@@johnjeczalik8960 Without a doubt. WLL and D and C versions on the original vinyl had amazing movements and changes, why were some lost? This No Quarter mixes back in the beautiful rhythm cords of JP playing to the melody of JPJ just before the solo. I was devastated when that was taken out of the CD
@@jayfalco8635 the one major exception to that would be the BBC Live double album. Page was stellar throughout its entirety.
ahhhh to be 14 again 40 years ago and discovering that the mixture of marijuana and led zeppelin makes a great combo.........
Led Zeppelin is a gateway drug👍😂🔥
This is a classic it will never be forgotten
The full No Quarter was a real highlight of the original album. Cutting it down for the remaster was a crying shame, undermined the whole project.
Is this cut down too?
@@Silkier Not that I know of. It's in line with the original 1976 release.
It isn't cut, I've heard the bootleg of this solo, the remaster has the original end part of the solo on it as it was heard by the audience. 08:52 onwards is a different performance of the ending tacked on to the end of the solo.
@@StevieV The remastered version cuts right from 5:19 to 6:53 skipping that first part of the solo. I think that’s what they meant by cut out.
Whoever said this is the greatest band to ever stand on the stage was not lying. Nothing has ever even come close to what Led Zeppelin did. Led Zeppelin at its worst was head and shoulders above everything else around them. Jimmy played a very brilliant part in this song, but the composition belongs to John Paul Jones. The song was recorded in D minor and showcases John Paul Jones’s classical roots…nothing can or ever will come close to this band again….. John Paul Jones was the icing on top of the Led Zeppelin cake. His multi instrumental abilities put that band above everything around them. What would going to California be without the mandolin? What would no quarter be without the incredible keyboard playing? What wood in through the outdoor be with without Jones on the synthesizer? What would the rain song be without Jones on the mellotron? To this day, everything else runs second place to Led Zeppelin.

June 2 1973 Kezar Stadium San Francisco. I was 18. I'm now 68 and it is the greatest Rock performance I've ever seen and in SF, I saw em all.
Might be my favorite band and the song is in my top 100 of All-time
I was at this concert in 1973 and it was my first rock concert but it sure wasn't my last. I saw Zeppelin 3 times and many other bands in my 64 years 😎
Zep simply the very best
Love this!!! Can u tell the story of the night you had? Would enviously love a long winded personal account of your experience, at least several romantic paragraphs so we can live vicariously would be such a privilege, please and thank you and sincerely jealous!
You lucky bastard. 🙂 I was born too late. Tried to see them for the '77 Presence tour when I was 14 or 15, but tickets sold out too fast on the same day as they went on sale and got shafted. Was nice to see Plant/Page, but no obviously no Bonham and JPJ.
Lucky p
Lucky you
In the history of music there's never been a better song composed yet!
Bach rules: Jimmy’s 2nd!!!…
Not just Jimmy. The entire band Bonzos drumming adds a sense of urgency. John Paul’s keyboard work is masterful. Jimmy’s arrangements and time signature tricks in the composition truly showcase the depth and talent of the band
Now thas a bad ass solo,,,my favorite from Page,,just brilliant.
Immortal guitar solo!
Amazing how they never rush this piece. They just leave a lot of room in it. And the various sound textures are amazing.
As soon as Jimmy starts noodling 12 bars before the lead solo begins is hair-raising ( literally) in anticipation of what's about to come! If you haven't listened to this with a set of really good studio style headphones turned all the way up then you are missing out on the hypnotic way all of them came together for those brief few moments in time where everything and everyone were as 1 and Jimmy let loose with probably the best solo he's ever done live that was recorded ! I've heard another recordings of this song òn bootlegs and none of them were as tight and grabbed me like this did ! The opening notes of the lead just reached out and grab you and its just on an crackin' from there. At the 12:45 mark to me anyway is when Jimmy wasnt thinking he was just playing and he held nothing back from there til the end of the solo !! Fucking amazing ! I'm glad I was around to witness this rare look at JP offering his best stuff to us all
Imagine hearing this live...i did
Sure you did.
Page is phenomenal! This solo alone makes him one of the greatest ever, dont care how sloppy he was at times (heroin) Plant sings great also here, love his approach and style
This is other worldly. Just Amazing.
And this, people, is what sublime musical virtuosity sounds like.
One of the best 13 minutes on earth!!
This was Zeppelin at their best in 73 in NY! The song remains the same is the best live album ever, every song and note is spot on and on this 3 night stand at Madison Square Garden they caught the best rock band ever playing at their best!!! Everyone should own the DVD!
I agree 👍
Hear hear, they were immaculate here.
DV what now
on fire in 73, never bettered.
They’re so good some people think they were possessed by demons themselves. What talent. Maybe they were, if you believe in that sort of thing.
There’s something about this version of “No Quater” that’s so mystical and otherworldly. Feels like I’m walking down a dark and cold road on a cold, winter, night in mid evil Scotland or England. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham were wizards at their craft. They just transport you. Every single time. Greatest band of all time, and it’s not even a competition. What Zeppelin did between 69-80 might never be replicated ever again.
7:50 Absolute perfection, I believe they were at the height of their career here, and this level of talent will never be replicated.
his guitar is crying....
They are the best ever hands-down, best rock band
It's not just Page. Listen to how tight JPJ and Bonham are on the breakdown. Then Bonham switches to play with and around Page. They were lightening in a bottle and will never be repeated.
Definitely Bonham and Jonesy...
That's the solo I remember from when I bought TSRTS when I was 13; then saw the movie, then saw them live riverfront coliseum Cincy April 77. My heart and soul, I love these guys. Bonzo forever!
Wow!! A Cincy comment! Riverfront section 204 was where it was at. Rock on, friend!
@@lauraelliott4862 we did not get to OUR seats til they had just finished up TSRTS . We held each other the whole show it was so loud. We were so close I saw who I know now were grant cole lefevre.
If I were a few generations older I would've been there! Would've loved to have seen them live in my hometown.
me too, god i nearly wore out the vinyl playing this.
19th or 20th you went to?
This is literally the all time peak of any performance ever. It doesn’t get better than this, by any band or any performer
Even at 7 years old in 1974 I was mesmerized by the sound of these guys. I didn't know exactly who they were yet but I found out as soon as I could and I was hooked. Nobody could create such a momentum or had the sheer gravity. Even a little kid could hear just how great they were. Whole lotta love was the song I heard and I had never heard such a thing and up until that time nobody had heard anything close to that kind of sound. Go back and look at what existed before them and everything that came after. They laid down the blueprint for rock and roll of the 70s.
Best Zep song ever
Imagine being there in 73 listen to this masterpiece. Did they realize how good this was as they were playing it??
Did WE realize?
Of course
It's headphone time again! Ahhh! The memories held within. 👍✌️
better headphones .. my stereo would get me evicted :P
The Greatest of ALL TIME! And never another one!
That guitar wail at 7:35 forever etched in my mind!
It may be the best guitar sound in the world.
Hey i love your passion for the band. I am a Led Head myself. Like what you did here. \m/ 93
Что сказать нет слов пейдж великий а какой заход? Фантастика! Это и есть роковая хирургия такой группы небыло нет и вряд-ли будет мне 67 слушаю с 5 го класса и каждый раз что-то новое ловишь это чудо это лед зепплин!!!!!
Brutal ....como tú dices no creo que haya algo como está banda ....obviamente respetando toda la música ..
The album version is a classic. This live version takes it to another level. . . WOW.
Почему нет перевода?
I prefer most of HOTH live over the studio versions.. ☑
Amazing. Simply the best solo for No Quarter. I've heard several versions, but this one is simply the best. Compact, straight from the ears to the soul.
There are two kinds of people. Those that say Led Zeppelin was the greatest band ever, and those that weren't paying attention.
Spot on...👍🎶🔥
This song is in my opinion maybe the best rock song ever. The groove and feel of the solo is just unmatchable. Page is a living legend 🤘
Jimmy’s greatest moment EVER! Nothing compares.
Wow, I was there!!!!!!!!!!!
So lucky ❤❤❤
Wow! You are privileged!! 😮
The best Goth song ever!
Jonesey’s swirling keyboard motif, Bonham’s crisp kit, Planty’s ethereal moaning and Page’s amazing solo, his best. Him and Bonham just knew how to play together. John emphasises every dramatic point in Jimmy’s solo. Whether the click of the hi-hat; the crack of the snare or the pounding triplets of the bass drum - it all fits beautifully with JPJ’s mysterious journey. Plant’s voice at the end sounds as if he’s raising the Devil himself!
Just magic.
They sound like the greatest jazz group. Page soars and the keyboard Oh my.
Perfection.
The best guitar solo I have ever heard.
@Release The Kraken A close second !
@Release The Kraken No, I saw The Wall 2-26-80.
@Release The Kraken This is the best guitar + drummer solo. Telepathic understanding of each other. CM is just a rendition with a back up band. THIS is real, old school musicians who could just plug in and play and PERFORM......!
@Release The Kraken You do have a point. It's close to this!
@@LoneLee2022 No it's not as good as this, but it is close!
This is my drug!! Best solo ever!!!
Some fool on the internet tried to tell me Led Zeppelin sounded terrible live. I told him to listen to this.
The thing is, after 1973 there aren't many concerts with good sound anymore, mainly because of Plant's voice and Jimmy's addiction. But the instrumental peak of LZ was undoubtedly in 1973, even though Plant had lost his high pitched voice, Jimmy wasn't on heroin until 1975 and after that it was pretty clear he wasn't the same guitarist, he still had his moments but he couldn't top 1973 which was his best year ever. Have a listen to other concerts in 1973 as well, they sound awesome.
@@joebamba1 oh I know man. 73 was their peak in pretty much every aspect. There’s definitely moments post 73’ that are still amazing but yeah…
Regardless. Even LZ at their absolute worst still sounds amazing live. I couldn’t believe this person thought they sounded crappy live.
@@dylanstacey3514Every now and then I listen to 1979 Knebworth and am enjoying every second of it. Sure Plant has terrible vocals in the beginning, but he warms up pretty well later on. It’s one of the rare concerts where the whole part of it was recorded. I don’t know of many that were apart from Royal Albert Hall, Earls Court and Seattle. It’s a nice watch and especially the connection between Jones, Jimmy and Bonham is unmatched. Achilles last stand sums it up pretty much and Plant even said the same thing in an interview. One of a kind.
You'd be surprised at how many people say that. They don't get it.
In my book, among the best solos in the history of rock n' roll.
Best solo of all time. Jones and bonham compliment page perfectly. This is the peak.
Took me way baaaack,man! Close your eyes and recall a room full of friends,a 4-finger lid, a black light...and Donna in daisy dukes!
The Passion of the Page on full display. What he gets out of his guitar in this song is nothing less than a symphony. Just incredible. The man is all feel and his subtle dipthongs and bends that begin and end phrases come from the deepest part of his subconscious. Fn A man. Incredible. In 1988 I was able to see him live at the Ritz in Manhattan. I was leaning on the stage 4 feet from JP. He let loose on In My Time of Dying and it was absolutely sublime. Everyone in the room, including Jimmy was out of body, intermingling with the universe.
Pothead!!!
@@cliffullrich8564 Drunk!
I listened to this song everyday in college. It brought me into meditative state and somehow gave me the determination to never give up.
Musical meditation. Merge. My church. My nirvana. Thank you.
This solo is mind blowing jimmy is on fire
The drumming on that song man... so good. So effective. So freaking tight
for a rock solo, this sounds so jazzy, incredible dynamics.
Where do you go from a 10 Simply the BEST!!!!!!!
Wie kann man bitte solch eine geniale Musik schreiben?
3:25 - 10:11 is genuinely one of the best things to ever occur in rock and roll. Out of all the magnificent, ethereal Zeppelin moments, I come back to this stretch the most.
Good idea to have mixed the two versions together to keep the fantastic guitar solo in the middle complete... Thank you. This version is really unique, one moment of grace in "rock" music. Jimmy Page was incredibly inspired there.
THE GREATEST ROCK BAND IN THE HISTORY.
Did I already comment " no order, know order?"
