There was a radio station in the UK that had a poll, that you could take a member from any band to make a “super” band... The poll ended with Led Zeppelin filling each spot. Greatest. Band. Ever.
Lets be honest here, Led Zeppelin are the greatest rock band ever. They wrote the best music , performed the greatest shows, played the biggest venues, sold the most records etc etc before the world of the internet . LZ are simply fucking the best band ever.
I saw Led Zeppelin in concert by accident on April 15, 1977. We sneaked in. I was just 15. I think it made me long to experience great things the rest of my life
this band just had it all. Great drummer, great bassist, great singer and great lead guitar. What else is there? Jack Black had it right. The best band EVER.
Zeppelin is in whole different league. Not the beatles nor the stones or any other band for that matter comes close to reaching this level of perfection. Led zeppelin is the pinnacle of rock and music itself. Sorry to die hard fans of other bands but just stop and listen to any Zeppelin song or album and you'll understand. Truly blessed that my ears can enjoy such an extraordinary band. Long live Led Zeppelin and long live Rock.
They're better than the Stones but The Beatles is another category. For individual song craftsmanship goes, as well as zero filler on their albums, Lennon and McCartney can't be touched. And without the Beatles, Zeppelin may not have ever ventured into Eastern sounds, folk or various studio experimentation. The Beatles laid the ground work for all who followed. Plus, Zeppelin based their sound n straight blues, The Beatles were based on R&B. You can't really compare a blues artist to an R&B artist. That being said, the Beatles original Blues material was pretty damn good, Yer Blues, I Want You, Don't Let Me Down, Oh Darlin' Get Back, One After 909 and I'm So Tired.
Yunior Esquijarosa. Your 100 % Right! And The Rolling Stone was and still are there way after Led Zeppelin broke up Rolling Stones that there still the greatest rock and roll band in the world! Only time can tell and it did it don't lie because they're still out there on top and they're still there what I can say is God Bless The Rolling Stones I love them! They've been together over 50 years that's amazing and the they live worlds apart from each other but they always get together to make music and to go on tour! What other band can say that after 50 years not many not many at all! But the Rolling Stones can because they keep doing it over and over again! the Stones are amazing rock and roll blues band and nobody can play like Keith Richards does, nobody could write a song like Keith Richards does with his open many ways of tuning on a iot his guitars for some of his songs that he wrote with five strings open tuning on his guitars and he play's some of his songs like that in concert with open tuning on some of his 5 string guitars, that is why he changes his guitars a lot when he's in the concerts!

I am a 66 year old conservative and I totally agree that Led Zepelin is the greatest rock bank ever. I still plug in and listen to them some days at work and I am transported to another place and time while I am underwriting loans. Their music still translates today and also has a nostalgia that takes anyone, who was young during their heyday, back to that place and that feeling when it was all new and exciting and very different from what everyone else was doing. Seeing the band, as older men, is somewhat strange. They have mellowed and become more ordinary as we all do. However, one just has to pull up some of the older videos on youtube to be transported back to the magic and intensity of four young men who were on fire and the music that propelled them to greatness.

Michael Dunn I interpreted it differently. I think the momentary awkwardness was because he’s dead... and it probably felt weird to cheer at that point. Like a moment of respect or solemnity.
The first time I heard them playing it was the Black Dog riff. I was only 15, low music knowledge, but I knew I had found my place. And rock became carved in fire on my heart and in my soul. Thank you guy's! You're and will be the best forever.
Led Zeppelin has always been & always will my fav. of all time...They are the best rock & roll band...no one can ever rise above them.....I Love you Led Zep !!!!!!!
TrueTube well that depends on your music taste. There aren't many modern rock bands sadly anymore. But Britain does well in pop, just look at Adele with the Grammies this year
The Beatles are in their own universe. They're more than just a band. They're so many things to so many people, that they transcend music. I don't think it's fair or even possible to compare anyone else to them. No one matches them in terms of impact, influence, acclaim or universal admiration and fandom. But Led Zeppelin. They're another thing altogether. Where the Beatles are many things to many people, Zeppelin's universe is rock and they rule it, they are rock: pure, sublime, unadulterated, seminal rock and roll. All other bands are stuck somewhere in between the two, not matching the Beatles in influence or coming anywhere near Zeppelin as rock prodigies and icons. Zeppelin is the best, the greatest, the awesomest, most revered and venerated ROCK band of all-time and I don't think any Beatles fan would take issue with that.
GDV84. But The Beatles got more fans then Zeppelin ever had! almost every album the Beatles sold went gold and we're number one all around the world and they had number one 29 number top single hits! Some of The Beatles singles were double one hits two! No one or band ever came close to that! And What the Beatles did in 7 short years like they did!

I had already been on to the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix etc etc but when the Led came out in 69 I was blown away. Nothing like that before or after. Big time fan from then on. Saw them live back in the day.
***** It's clear from reading your other comments that you're a smug, arrogant, loser, a pathetic little troll looking for an argument, but what the hell, I'll play... The original question referred to "the British", I answered as a British man living in Britain. As such, I'm fully aware of our culture, society, outlook, hopes and fears etc. ALL things that drive great art. All art reflects the artist, you don't need to BE an artist to understand and appreciate this, although you do need a degree of intelligence. You think Jimmy Page is a great guitarist? But by YOUR reasoning, unless you can play as well as him you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, right? Fucktard. You seem incapable of not taking everything LITERALLY. Do you have Asperger's Syndrome? Have fun trying to outwit me.
***** I mentioned the lack of paragraphs purely because it made your badly written diatribe even MORE unreadable, and that's saying something. You know when you've won an argument? When someone completely fails to recognise that people have the right to an opinion without first getting YOUR approval or permission. You really need to get over yourself. I'm so glad you've "allowed" me to have the last word; I'm sure the fact that it saves you having to continually be outwitted is a complete coincidence. You hear that sound? That's the sound of the internet sighing in relief that you're "done".
I love this.I still remember listening to my older sister's vinyl Led Zep2 over and over. there was just something about this band. One of my best memories was in college getting stoned on a Friday afternoon hanging out with my friends listening to Ramble On trying to figure out that crazy drum/cymbal sequence. I love this music
Watching this AGAIN, 6 years later,..wow. My first concert, Plant plastered on my walls. Brings you back to a time where...it wasn't so hard. You knew your friends, your music...hmmm, thoughts
I couldn't help but tear up when Jack started talking about John's death . I used to play bass before arthritis set into my hands . It's a great loss when a true talent such his is lost . As the ability to do something that comes as second nature to you . I used to have 5 Bass guitars and had to sell them all . One of my faves was my Fender Jazz bass . It was like losing a child to me .
You have to love both Zep and the Beatles in diff ways. I can listen to Zepellin and feel their music in my soul and be astounded at their artistic talents. With the Beatles I hear them and am amazed at lyrics and sound that no other band can replicate. Apples and oranges.
Definitely. Even later music out of the UK has been great. Something about their being quite bright so the lyrics are good, and calling each other out if they try to make crap. They know it won't float. Kind of similar in Canada. There is a standard they need to meet.
Get over yourselves. Almost every "Great British Band" STOLE from American blues artists, The who admitted as much (To their credit.) The Kinks routinely pointed out their influences were American Music. And Zep, (Which I completely agree was the single best Rock Band in the world) had a to lose a HUGE case in both England AND America before they would come clean. And even then, it took Percy to be the band leader and tell the band to pay royalties to who REALLY wrote a lot of their lyrics and jst put it to bed. If you don't know this, You're probably 12 years old, you don't know Zep, you don't know rock, and you have no clue that both the English and Canadian "Standard" for rock and roll (which by inference is better than American rock) is by their VERY BIRTH, AMERICAN ROCK. You forget yourself. Do your homework before you get caught shitting out your mouth again.
***** Calm down to the frantic. Yes Plant gives credit to early American blues musicians; he adores them, but he (and many others) have also pointed out in later interviews that music didn't start in the USA or the New World and the melodies can be traced back to the Old World in many instances. Black slaves in the US were singing songs they learned on slave ships coming across the ocean, and they were singing on plantations and copying English made instruments. It was the way they made them and played them (using catgut and whatever else they had) that was so unique, and the tones, etc. Music is a constantly changing thing if we're lucky. Borrowing and putting your own spin on things is not unique, Simon and Garfunkel 'borrowed' Scarborough Fair from the UK, Bob Dylan got into a boatload of trouble for doing the same with Japanese songs. Artists get inspired by other artists, that's what they do. Don't be so small-minded and reactionary. I wasn't referring to blues-inspired UK musicians exclusively. British and Canadian musicians have been extraordinary for the last several decades, do YOUR research, that was the point. No need to be so petulant.
I only can say I´m agree with him. I saw them in 2007 after seen "the other 4 or 5" and they still rocking far and better than any other. (it´s my opinion)
63 still listening, I had the opportunity to meet Jason back in 2006, humble is not the word. TY LZ for the music, 63 still listening.........................
Zeppelins music is timeless. It will never get old. My son is three and hes already starting to rock out to the mighty Zep. There will never be another band like this ever again. Its great to show my son music that was, is and will always be killer!
By far the best induction/recognition speech and performances I've ever seen. I know everyone talks about how great Heart was performing Stairway to Heaven, but I disagree. They were good, bordering great. But Kravitz killed it. And Jack Black killed it. He was terrific. And the video was as well. Best band ever. Ever.
Long overdue condolences to Led Zeppelin for the Kennedy Center Honors. Well done boys. Saddened that John Bonham couldn't be there. RIP sir. Long long overdue condolences to the Bonham family for your loss especially John's son :-( . By the way. Great speech by Jack Black. Great job sir :-)
I don't think any other band covered as much ground musically as LZ. They started as a blues band like every other great band from the UK . But they changed styles over and over again despite massive success with other styles. It takes balls to do that. They played what they wanted to and didn't follow trends. They influenced metal , punk , progressive and alternative rock .
Best Band Ever, their Music has been a massive part of my life for so many years...Their music is Beautiful, Pure, Deep, Exciting, Stirs up Emotions and Evokes so many happy memories and I just Love Led Zeppelin, they will always be Phenomenal to me and I am so glad that I has passed on to my children Great music that means so much. 💕👍😊
Guys, they are beyond any other band because they perfectly matched Voice, lyrics that speaks to the soul of humanity, music that is transcendent and rhythm that is addictive: all these combined generate wild emotions! Very few can do this, and also few can totally appreciate this. Other bands are just musically enjoyable (maybe with some good lyrics) so became famous to the masses. But you need a high sensitivity and openness to fully understand their songs, so far ... they are number 1 absolutely!
Well the band already has two guitarists, so were they just going to leave one sitting off to the side not doing anything? Not to take away from Page, he is a beast.
Oh man... i was rewatching this cause i love Zep, but it hit me like a fucking brick wall when I saw Taylor singing Rock'n Roll. May you rest in peace brother and thank you for all the happiness you brought to millions of people around the world
I guess the only sad thing is that they'll never be another band like Led Zeppelin. To this day I remember making multiple trips to the record store hoping for the releases of Presence and In Through The Out Door.
I remember the very first time I heard a Led Zeppelin album, 25 years ago or so. It was a CD I had found in my elder brother's room, back when I was 13 or 14. I felt curiosity and decided to give it a try. It was Led Zeppelin II; the initial riff of Whole Lotta Love immediately captured my attention, but the drums entrance just stole my soul, being a (now frustrated) drummer myself. I am so glad that album was there that day... Greatest rock band ever. Thank you.
Led Zeppelin is ONE of the greatest Rock 'n Roll bands. Rock (music) is a group effort. There is no doubt that they ARE one of the premier bands, but even the members would acknowledge that they are just one among many. I Love Led Zeppelin, they helped me and many survive our younger years and inspired us to look at and explore the wide world out here. Long time will the Zeppelin live in the constellation of Stars.
THAT'S RIGHT JACK, LED ZEPPELIN IS THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME, PERIOD END OF STORY. Don't even start an idiotic disagreement.....love and respect everybody else but LED ZEPPELIN IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
the musicians I see these days keeps me thinking that how lucky I have been to grow up listening to these greatest bands, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, The Irish Rovers, The Pouges, The Dubliners...
i am now in the process of buying the original lps on vinyl so i can listen to the whole 8 albums how they were intended to be listened to ! some are fetching silly money on ebay !
The first super band before there were super bands. Everyone of them was a virtuoso. I ran the arc lamp projectors in my parents theater in a small town in Northern California in 1976 when Song Remains the Same came through town. Still have the poster. Usually the sound had a volume knob that for most movies was set between 25 and 35 on the dial. I had it up to 75. My mon called up to the projection booth to turn it down, after the boos started she said to put it back up. My brother and I put reels on while we cleaned the theater during the day. Playing guitar you can sit in with almost any band and play a Zeppelin tune. Many a viewing of the Song Remains the Same at midnight movies through the 80's. Loved this band.
The Beatles evolved their music to new heights - from " She loves you" to 5 years later to"Sgt Pepper". Incredible! However, I personally would prefer to see Led Zeppelin live. They put on a rock show. Talent wise, the Beatles did more after their break up as individuals than the member's of Zep.
Jack's speech is intended to be humorous, in the character of his super rock fan persona. Anyone who take any of it seriously and dosen't have a chuckle at it is not getting the joke, and being waaaay too serious. The evening got serious and emotional for Zep during the musical performances. Jack was easing things in with humor and it was for them anyway, and they laughed. Any other reaction is just dopey.
There was a radio station in the UK that had a poll, that you could take a member from any band to make a “super” band... The poll ended with Led Zeppelin filling each spot.

All art reflects the artist, you don't need to BE an artist to understand and appreciate this, although you do need a degree of intelligence. You think Jimmy Page is a great guitarist? But by YOUR reasoning, unless you can play as well as him you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, right? Fucktard.
You seem incapable of not taking everything LITERALLY. Do you have Asperger's Syndrome? Have fun trying to outwit me.
***** I mentioned the lack of paragraphs purely because it made your badly written diatribe even MORE unreadable, and that's saying something.
You know when you've won an argument? When someone completely fails to recognise that people have the right to an opinion without first getting YOUR approval or permission. You really need to get over yourself.
I'm so glad you've "allowed" me to have the last word; I'm sure the fact that it saves you having to continually be outwitted is a complete coincidence. You hear that sound? That's the sound of the internet sighing in relief that you're "done".
You guys had all the good bands of the 90's though.
I love this.I still remember listening to my older sister's vinyl Led Zep2 over and over. there was just something about this band. One of my best memories was in college getting stoned on a Friday afternoon hanging out with my friends listening to Ramble On trying to figure out that crazy drum/cymbal sequence. I love this music
Watching this AGAIN, 6 years later,..wow. My first concert, Plant plastered on my walls. Brings you back to a time where...it wasn't so hard. You knew your friends, your music...hmmm, thoughts
I couldn't help but tear up when Jack started talking about John's death . I used to play bass before arthritis set into my hands . It's a great loss when a true talent such his is lost . As the ability to do something that comes as second nature to you . I used to have 5 Bass guitars and had to sell them all . One of my faves was my Fender Jazz bass . It was like losing a child to me .
Best Band EVER! No truer words said.
I think the Beatles are the best, but Zep is right there too, so is Floyd, in my opinion....just different genres 💜
You have to love both Zep and the Beatles in diff ways. I can listen to Zepellin and feel their music in my soul and be astounded at their artistic talents. With the Beatles I hear them and am amazed at lyrics and sound that no other band can replicate. Apples and oranges.
I imagine Dave Grohl has "practiced" that drum solo for ~30 years
It's debatable which is the best band of all time, however what's not in doubt is the top 4 or 5 are all British!
No it's not... Led Zepplin IS the greatest of all time period.....
Definitely. Even later music out of the UK has been great. Something about their being quite bright so the lyrics are good, and calling each other out if they try to make crap. They know it won't float. Kind of similar in Canada. There is a standard they need to meet.
Get over yourselves. Almost every "Great British Band" STOLE from American blues artists, The who admitted as much (To their credit.) The Kinks routinely pointed out their influences were American Music. And Zep, (Which I completely agree was the single best Rock Band in the world) had a to lose a HUGE case in both England AND America before they would come clean. And even then, it took Percy to be the band leader and tell the band to pay royalties to who REALLY wrote a lot of their lyrics and jst put it to bed. If you don't know this, You're probably 12 years old, you don't know Zep, you don't know rock, and you have no clue that both the English and Canadian "Standard" for rock and roll (which by inference is better than American rock) is by their VERY BIRTH, AMERICAN ROCK. You forget yourself.
Do your homework before you get caught shitting out your mouth again.
***** Calm down to the frantic. Yes Plant gives credit to early American blues musicians; he adores them, but he (and many others) have also pointed out in later interviews that music didn't start in the USA or the New World and the melodies can be traced back to the Old World in many instances. Black slaves in the US were singing songs they learned on slave ships coming across the ocean, and they were singing on plantations and copying English made instruments. It was the way they made them and played them (using catgut and whatever else they had) that was so unique, and the tones, etc. Music is a constantly changing thing if we're lucky. Borrowing and putting your own spin on things is not unique, Simon and Garfunkel 'borrowed' Scarborough Fair from the UK, Bob Dylan got into a boatload of trouble for doing the same with Japanese songs. Artists get inspired by other artists, that's what they do. Don't be so small-minded and reactionary. I wasn't referring to blues-inspired UK musicians exclusively. British and Canadian musicians have been extraordinary for the last several decades, do YOUR research, that was the point. No need to be so petulant.
I only can say I´m agree with him. I saw them in 2007 after seen "the other 4 or 5" and they still rocking far and better than any other.
(it´s my opinion)
63 still listening, I had the opportunity to meet Jason back in 2006, humble is not the word. TY LZ for the music, 63 still listening.........................
My time is almost up, but I had the chance to see live, the best band ever. Miss you John Henry Bonham, bringing my Ludwigs with me
They honored Zeppelin right, very classy. This is Led Zeppelin's world, we're just livin' in it!
They are and will always be greatest band in the world Led Zeppelin 👍
Best intro ever! JB - was an awesome pick to intoduce LZ!
Zeppelins music is timeless. It will never get old. My son is three and hes already starting to rock out to the mighty Zep. There will never be another band like this ever again. Its great to show my son music that was, is and will always be killer!
After 33 years I still feel the riffs every time I play my albums like time stood still.
By far the best induction/recognition speech and performances I've ever seen. I know everyone talks about how great Heart was performing Stairway to Heaven, but I disagree. They were good, bordering great. But Kravitz killed it. And Jack Black killed it. He was terrific. And the video was as well. Best band ever. Ever.
Kravitz was ok, not great. Hearts performance is once in a lifetime. Robert Plant cried. The end!
I know your comment is years ago but YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Every few years I come back and watch this
73-75-77, L.A.Forum . Would not have missed the shows . F....n great my favorite Hard rock band ."THANK YOU"...wink and a nod.
wink and a smile 🙃🙃😎😎👽👽
How wonderful. I Love LED Zeppelin. They are absolutely amazing.
Oh, good god how I love this band
Long overdue condolences to Led Zeppelin for the Kennedy Center Honors. Well done boys. Saddened that John Bonham couldn't be there. RIP sir. Long long overdue condolences to the Bonham family for your loss especially John's son :-( . By the way. Great speech by Jack Black. Great job sir :-)
I don't think any other band covered as much ground musically as LZ. They started as a blues band like every other great band from the UK . But they changed styles over and over again despite massive success with other styles. It takes balls to do that. They played what they wanted to and didn't follow trends. They influenced metal , punk , progressive and alternative rock .
Speechless!!! Tribute to the BEST band in the world !!!!
I never get tired of listening to Led Zeppelin ever
Best Band Ever, their Music has been a massive part of my life for so many years...Their music is Beautiful, Pure, Deep, Exciting, Stirs up Emotions and Evokes so many happy memories and I just Love Led Zeppelin, they will always be Phenomenal to me and I am so glad that I has passed on to my children Great music that means so much. 💕👍😊
Guys, they are beyond any other band because they perfectly matched Voice, lyrics that speaks to the soul of humanity, music that is transcendent and rhythm that is addictive: all these combined generate wild emotions!
Very few can do this, and also few can totally appreciate this. Other bands are just musically enjoyable (maybe with some good lyrics) so became famous to the masses. But you need a high sensitivity and openness to fully understand their songs, so far ... they are number 1 absolutely!
I like how the cover band had to have two guitarists for paige's part
Page: Mortals... they try.
alpha bison and a chorus for Robert plants voice
Well the band already has two guitarists, so were they just going to leave one sitting off to the side not doing anything? Not to take away from Page, he is a beast.
Let's be real, I don't think Page ever put just one guitar to tape.
alpha bison 3...The soloist,the one on the acoustic and 1 with the eds1275
Zepplin is the best band of all time. This is a great video.
Saw them in 1977 Seattle, they played for 3 and half hours. just amazing.
Oh man... i was rewatching this cause i love Zep, but it hit me like a fucking brick wall when I saw Taylor singing Rock'n Roll. May you rest in peace brother and thank you for all the happiness you brought to millions of people around the world
Same man. All you ever hear is Heart’s cover of STH. I’m so glad that he got to sing it for LZ.
I guess the only sad thing is that they'll never be another band like Led Zeppelin. To this day I remember making multiple trips to the record store hoping for the releases of Presence and In Through The Out Door.
I remember the very first time I heard a Led Zeppelin album, 25 years ago or so. It was a CD I had found in my elder brother's room, back when I was 13 or 14. I felt curiosity and decided to give it a try. It was Led Zeppelin II; the initial riff of Whole Lotta Love immediately captured my attention, but the drums entrance just stole my soul, being a (now frustrated) drummer myself. I am so glad that album was there that day... Greatest rock band ever. Thank you.
Led Zeppelin is ONE of the greatest Rock 'n Roll bands. Rock (music) is a group effort. There is no doubt that they ARE one of the premier bands, but even the members would acknowledge that they are just one among many. I Love Led Zeppelin, they helped me and many survive our younger years and inspired us to look at and explore the wide world out here. Long time will the Zeppelin live in the constellation of Stars.
For me, it's Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. PF is a different type of music (progressive rock).
Each rule their own genre.
THAT'S RIGHT JACK, LED ZEPPELIN IS THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME, PERIOD END OF STORY. Don't even start an idiotic disagreement.....love and respect everybody else but LED ZEPPELIN IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
When you hit the commercials; skip to 11:20
Thank you!

John Tait not all heroes wear capes

Jack Black Said it wright!: "Led Zeppelin! The greatest rock n' roll band of all time!"
the musicians I see these days keeps me thinking that how lucky I have been to grow up listening to these greatest bands, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, The Irish Rovers, The Pouges, The Dubliners...
Anyone else did the Zeppathon?
I did it. Two times through the night.
Many fucking times! Zeppelin forever!!!!
building up ready for it , in the process of obtaining all the original albums on record
many, many times...
i am now in the process of buying the original lps on vinyl so i can listen to the whole 8 albums how they were intended to be listened to ! some are fetching silly money on ebay !
Totally agree with Jack Black... BEST BAND EVER!!!!
Always great to watch people dressed to the nine's Rockin in their seats! Love It!
"O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood?"-Psalms 4:2
"song's about Vikings " "song's about love " and " song's about Vikings making love "
I went to see , jimmy page , and the rest 2 times. Oh my goodness, those guy are really good, the best rock ever
Jack Black man....what an amazing tribute.
And jack black. Isnt just saying that. He knows the best when he hears them
I will date myself, the first two 8-track tapes I played in my 67 Mustang were Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 !!! Absolutely the BEST !!!
Jack Black with the best induction speech. Period.
Love how Taylor n Dave swap places
Love Grohl on drums!
Phenomenal tribute, great job Jack👍👍
What a beautiful tribute!
the best rock band of all time gets my vote.
My Zep moment was Thank you. Once I heard that. Thank you.
I saw zep in 1977 best concert and iv been to over 100 shows and zep us by far the best show iv ever been to
Led Zeppelin thank you for your timeless, influential music!
I had a Zeppeathon once. It was life changing.
1:29 - 'Ya know, they say that Led Zeppelin sold their souls to Satan...c'mon guys, you know you did..." I can't help but LMFAO whenever I see this.
They did.
Well, Jimmy DID buy Aleister Crowley's mansion, and i hear that Jimmy dabbles in the occult. Not sure if Plant, or Jones does, or if Bonzo ever did.
Me too!
The first super band before there were super bands. Everyone of them was a virtuoso. I ran the arc lamp projectors in my parents theater in a small town in Northern California in 1976 when Song Remains the Same came through town. Still have the poster. Usually the sound had a volume knob that for most movies was set between 25 and 35 on the dial. I had it up to 75. My mon called up to the projection booth to turn it down, after the boos started she said to put it back up. My brother and I put reels on while we cleaned the theater during the day. Playing guitar you can sit in with almost any band and play a Zeppelin tune. Many a viewing of the Song Remains the Same at midnight movies through the 80's. Loved this band.
Zep is like Tenacious D without the jokes.
Thank you for sharing this!
The Devil can't something good and beautiful as Led Zeppelin work.
The best narrator.
The Beatles evolved their music to new heights - from " She loves you" to 5 years later to"Sgt Pepper".
Incredible! However, I personally would prefer to see Led Zeppelin live. They put on a rock show. Talent wise, the Beatles did more after their break up as individuals than the member's of Zep.
I listened to good times bad times non stop when it came out still my favorite 👊
Whoever decided that HE should do the hosting deserves a raise and to be compensated for the rest of his natural life
I like looking at the reaction of the Zep boys to the renditions of their music by these other artists. Real nice.
People say that its hard to explain how good Zep really is, but i disagree. I can do it in 3 words. THE PERFECT BAND!
Jack's speech is intended to be humorous, in the character of his super rock fan persona. Anyone who take any of it seriously and dosen't have a chuckle at it is not getting the joke, and being waaaay too serious. The evening got serious and emotional for Zep during the musical performances. Jack was easing things in with humor and it was for them anyway, and they laughed. Any other reaction is just dopey.
Well he definitely offended Beatles fans with that bullshit
And I would, six years later, still suggest that they were taking things way too seriously. And probably had never seen High Fidelity.
'complex. beautiful and dangerous '
this band is the pinnacle of rock and roll
Agreed - bow yours heads in awe or stay forever silent - the short of it...
"Best band ever". Damn right!
Led Zeppelin the greatest rock band EVER
"even better than Tenacious D".......man, that took real class........p...loved it!
