      Usually, musical combinations like this do not always work as well as this did. But this was superb.
      I was wondering what Fred Astaire would have thought of the whole thing and have decided he would have - pardon - gotten a real kick out of it. It's not like he was totally against rock music. He went to go see an Alice Cooper show with Groucho - who was a close friend of Groucho. And being a really good drummer, himself how could he help but like Bonzo.

    Led Zeppelin 1 came out the same year I dropped Acid for the first time in 1969. I'm 68 now. I was 13 then and that was the first album I ever bought. I used money from my paper route to buy it. That was my first trip to downtown Long Beach, CA by bus by myself to buy the album. So many times tripping in my bedroom listening to it. It was fifteen years later I got to meet Plant backstage at a Donovan concert at the Santa Monica Civic. He was in a wheelchair from a car accident and asked me to push him around. The rest of the band was in the audience. I was a production assistant for Fun Productions that put on the show in 1976(?) and this song was a part of that show.
    Kudos to the producer of this video! I've done a few like this many years ago in the early days of youtube and it isn't easy.

      I had tickets to see them in Atlanta when they had to cancel because of that accident! I was heartbroken! I should have kept the tickets but I had to return them and get my $11 (!!!) back cause I was also broke! Never got another chance to see the band but saw Plant many times and Page a couple of times, playing with other acts. And saw Jason Bonham's Zeppelin tribute in '22.

    Astaire was once asked who his best dance partner was and famously replied “Rita Hayworth” instead of Ginger Rogers as most might expect. Hayworth wasn’t necessarily famous for being a dancer but her parents were professionals and she grew up in a dance studio so certainly had the background and chops to earn Astaire’s praise. Great video and editing.

    Master class in dance. Fred Astair was so precise and limber yet he never looked like he was working. He looked so serene dancing away in intricate steps that had taken him hundreds of hours to memorize yet he looked like he just dropped in and did it as if he was just breathing.

      Astair's physical grace was unmatched. It required a tremendous amount of athletic ability and self-control. He started his professional dance career with his sister, Adele, in the early 1900s in vaudeville. He became a favorite singer of tin-pan alley composers because he knew how to sing phrases so that the words meant something.

    Greatest dance/music combo ever!
    Led Zep my all time favorite band (and greatest band of all time). I owned a danced studio years ago and introduced my students to the greatest dancers Astaire, Kelly, Ziegfeld Follies and the greatest music/musicians of multiple genres.
    We had dramatically-eclectic recital music, encompassing music from the 1920’s to Ziegfeld Era, through Woodstock and the 90’s when music was resurrected.
    For my final recital, I choreographed a mystical Belly Dance number to “Kashmir”.
    Memorable send-off tribute.
    These videos are fabulous!
