They stopped being Led Zeppelin when drummer Jon Bonham died. He was the heart of this band. Drum solos were integral to every album and concert. There is a Led Zeppelin tribute with Heart playing Stairway to Heaven. Bonham's son is the drummer. Fabulous!
When The Levee Breaks is one of those old blues songs that they "rocked up" really well. People tend to have favorite versions of Zeppelin songs because the group never seemed to play a song the same way twice, so every versions has something special about it that people gravitate towards.
When they wrote it, they were about twelve to fifteen years away from the rock and roll of their youth - 1950's Chuck Berry, Duane Eddey, Eddie Cochran, and by their fourth album - 1971 - the were the undisputed Rock and Roll monster. A shout out to the music that motivated them earlier in their lives - like the song "Book of Love" that they reference in the song.
This concert at Knebworth was after the band hadn’t played for 2 years. Singer Robert Plants 5 year old son passed away while they were touring the US. They performed from (1968 to 1980) sadly when drummer Bonham passed away. Singer Plant still preforms to this day, winning music awards & gold records. Yes they may have had some stinker lives, mostly strains on Plants vocals, but they still put everything into every performance. Their concerts were 3 to 4 hours nonstop, selling out all of them & most being the only act preforming. Any songs you pick will be great, but we each have our favorites. Thank you & a whole lotta more Led Zeppelin PLEASE!
You need to watch the kashmir performance from this show. John Bonham does one of the best live drum grooves in the Knebworth performance. Way better than the studio. It is a powerful performance.
I'm loving John Bonham's powerful percussion intro! So good!!! John Paul Jones' hair is classic!... These days he looks like a Wall Street banker. This band is the best by far!! Another by Led Zeppelin you'll love is "When the Levee Breaks". Slower beat, more bluesy... and all amazing!!
Led Zeppelin played 2 shows at the Knebworth festival in England in 1979... Sadly, it would one of the last shows Led Zeppelin played together... It came 2 years after Led Zeppelin canceled dates of their 1977 US tour after singer Robert Plant's son Karac died unexpectedly from a viral infection. After months of seclusion, mourning his loss, Robert Plant finally agreed to work on a new Led Zeppelin album in late 1978 (which became their last studio album 'In through the out door' in '79) ... However, guitarist Jimmy Page was struggling w/ he+++n addiction and was absent a lot... So, the album was composed mainly by bassist/ keyboardist John Paul Jones. But there was concern for drummer John Bonham, whose drinking was affecting his health and well-being. With 'In through the out door' slated for a 1979 release, Led Zeppelin announced 2 major comeback shows at Knebworth festival... Jimmy Page (guitar) had cleaned up somewhat and was in top form... Police estimated 200K people showed up for each night... Led Zeppelin triumphed and 'In through the out door' became a #1 charting album without a tour. Plant was reluctant to tour again after he welcomed another son w/ wife Maureen in '79... Led Zeppelin only played a handful of shows in Europe between 1979 and 1980... After their disastrous 1977 US tour (the crowds were huge... but the backstage problems, drugs, alcohol and assaults made the tour problematic)... Led Zeppelin finally announced a Fall 1980 US tour. The band rehearsed in England in preparation for the tour... but John Bonham's drinking finally got the better of him. After a disastrous rehearsal where John Bonham was too drunk to play... rehearsals were called off and John Bonham went drinking at the local bars again. He returned to Jimmy Page's house that night and passed out in one of the guest rooms... In the morning, he was found dead from alcohol asphyxiation. Without drummer John Bonham, Led Zeppelin announced quietly in late 1980 that the band would not continue. Jimmy Page did not play guitar for 2 years because it made him sad being reminded of John Bonham.
Well you wasn't there..this is Knebworth....and 70000 nowhere near biggest stadium crowd ever....I was at Wembley 2 weeks ago for springsteen 90000plus
@@paulliversage4479 at that time Led Zeppelin broke the record, since then yes it’s been broken more, that record was for a single act show. Most concerts have opening acts, the majority of Led Zeppelin concert didn’t have any other bands playing. Their concert were 3 to 4 hours nonstop, most bands only play about 90 minutes. Led Zeppelin’s (1979) concert at Knebworth had between 210,000 to 218,000 in attendance.
It has been said; "The blues had a baby and named it Rock n Roll", This the band that made me wanna play Bass, the great bassplaying of John Paul Jones. This is also on the first 12' vinyl record I ever bought. Led Zeppelin 4 Stairway to Heaven is also that album. In Jr High I only wore led Zeppelin Shirts, I had dozens of them. The on Stage sound and off Stage sound are way different. Often the stage is the quietest place. Our Drummer was also our main singer he needed the mix in the drum monitor to be right or he could not hear his voice.
Favorite band of all time, lucky enough to see him live a few times. Favorites "Since I Been Loving You, live Madison square garden. Lemon song, ramble on, going to California. All four of these songs are different from each other. Love your channel
I was there! 😍Tickets went on sale at selected record shops around the country, at midnight. No online sales in 1979! We arrived at 8pm and there was already a huge queue, great atmosphere, everyone was so excited and happy! The tickets were sold out that night ( 100k) and they announced a second show the following week, which also sold out quickly. I’ve still got the concert programme too!
"lonely lonely lonely lonely time"... ooh yah, ooo ooo yah, I love LED ZEP!! It's awesome to go back and check out the beginnings of this band and how they all got into music. This band is absolutely at the top of all time amazing singer/songwriter/musicianship and definitely deserve all the kudos they get!! I love Jimmy Page and if I could be as musically intelligent as he is I would be definitely going places. He is brilliant. It's one thing for musicians to copy their music and play it today but it's totally another thing to create as they did. They were definitely ahead of their time! Thanks BP!
WHAAAAAT WHAT!!!! My pops loved himself some Zeppelin. When I was a kid in the 80’s was after they had done all their great 70s stuff, but Robert Plante did have some solo stuff my dad would have on the Datsons tape deck. One specific song and memory was Little By Little. I just remember him always smelling like a fresh shave with his bruit cologne and singing along to LITTLE BY LITTLE. Man, if I could go back in time for just one day, I’d spend it just observing my young self enjoying life, free of worry, free of debt and just living in the moment with zero worry. Imagine if there was a world where there was no worry as a parent/adult. I took for granted way too many things over the years, but NEVER did I take for granted music. It takes you to that place in life where Nothing else mattered. If time travel exists, im almost certain music HAS TO BE involved. It’s really something how a song can put you right back. I can smell my father’s cologne at this very moment ❤
His most amazing performance was playing for Heart during the Zeppelin Tribute Concert on Stairway To Heaven. They also used him for another LZ cover of Kashmir. Joe Bonamassa also collaborated with him and his band on some rock performances.
I WAS there, twice, because they performed over two weekends. And Knebworth House, the stately home where the concert takes place is only 2 miles from my home.
Got to see Zeppelin 3 times and also photographed them. Later on I met Jimmy page 3 times while shooting The Firm for magazines. I also shot Robert Plant on his first solo tour
'50s nostalgia was popular in the 1970s. "Rock and Roll" was an ode to those early days of rock with lyrics like "It's been a long time since the 'Book of Love'" being a reference to a song from that era.
I was there? There's few places I wish I could travel to, threw time... first love, an opportunity to save someone... this concert... I wish I was alive during this show man. Damn.
Yes, they did cover and rework several old blues tunes. A great example is "When the Levee Breaks", which was an old blues song about the 1927 Mississippi river flood. It was first performed by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929.
This song began as a jam session. John Bonham started it using the drum intro from a Little Richard song called Keep A-Knockin from 1957 and Jimmy Page added a guitar riff in the style of Chuck Berry. They were recording the session and after about 15 minutes they basically had the song finished.
This past June, Knebworth celebrated its 50th annual festival, with such stars as Liam Galagher and Kasabian. My son took me there in 2003 when we sang along with and enjoyed ROBBIE WILLIAMS. We were visiting the UK to celebrate my oldest son's 21st birthday. It was my first music festival since Woodstock in 1969.
There's a documentary on British groups ...all of them when teens couldn't wait for the next obscure American blues album to come out. If one had one they'd call and go over the person's house who got the new Muddy Waters or whom ever. They all did ,the Stones, Led Zep, the Animals, ALL of them were influenced, LOVED AMERICAN blues.Led Zep did take from a few and made it their own in a great way!....
I got to see them in concert at the San diego Sports arena 1972! Nothing but one big party with everyone passing smoke to who ever sat next to you lol around the whole arena. No fights, no snipers, no kidnappings just 1000s having a good time.
In my humble opinion, their best live performance of a song was "Since I've Been Loving You". Absolutely incredible. Hopefully you get around to it. You won't be disappointed. Great blues/rock
That was great! I just love them! They do a song called “When the Levee Breaks” which was originally written in the late twenties about the great Mississippi flood. I don’t recall the original writer/performer though. Straight up blues with the LZ twist! Great reaction! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
The reason why we want people to watch the record audio is because we know that there are not many live Led Zep performances where they actually played the song like the recorded version.
Yes ! Let me introduce you to John Bonham....your welcome. Now go remember LZ at the Kennedy Center, Heart sings Stairway to Heaven, the drummer was Johns' son. The ending where the singers have on a "darby" hat was a tribute to John. There was alot of emotion for the band in that performance.
Yeah Pegasus, I really was there. This was the 7th and final live performance I'd seen of Zeppelin, they were absolutely incredible live. Great reaction as usual!
The Stones’ Keith Richard commented in an interview… talking about newer rock bands…. They know how to rock but they don’t know who’s to roll 😉 Truth!!
The Stroll was a song about a dance call “The Stroll” that was rebased in 1957. It was very popular. “The Book of Love” was popular song also released in 1957
I was there also in the seventies to see Led Zeppelin in the Los Angeles area we new it was something special you didn't want the concert to end it was kick ass when it was over we couldn't Waite for them to come again I was lucky to see them 5 times twice in one year with 3rd row seats one night it has been a life long Memory
Of course I like the audio version better but I agree the live version is great to see them in action. And I think it’s just basic rock and roll. Love this song of theirs!
The magnificent band Heart, closes their shows with this one. Led Zep was honored at the Kennedy Center in Dc. Heart- the fabulous Wilson Sisters - and other artists covered Zep that night- in front of Zep!!!!!Their cover of LZ ‘s classic, Stairway to Heaven - has now become THEE tribute to the band. ❤You will swoon.
also Jimmy Paige, the guitarist and the lead singer from Whitesnake, David Coverdale, made an album together in the 90's, thats worth a listen for sure
You said sizzlin’… makes me think of where that slang first saw mass exposure - the 1981 song “Double Dutch Bus” by Frank Smith from Philly. Hit the Top 40…
As to what you said at the end. Anthrax opened their "Worship Music" tour in Minneapolis. The drums were too loud and the vocals were to quiet. Still an amazing show, but the hadn't worked all of the bugs out, because it was the first show of the tour.
They had a song, that I love, that was not only inspired by the blues it was a blues song called "When the Levee Breaks". It was first written and recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. It was based on the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Check it out. You'll love it.
My daughter is in the same age range as you, I raised her on country music and classic rock. I got her a boxer puppy for her 22nd birthday, she named him Zeppelin Stone, lol.
That got so much grief and negativity over their 3rd album being so acoustic and laid back, that this was their finger in the air reply on Zeppelin IV. The drum intro was inspired by the intro in Little Richards "Keep a Knocking but You Can't Come In".
Bonham was getting frustrated trying to play 4 sticks. He took a break & started pounding this out, the others jumped in. They wrote & recorded this in 20 minutes. We got 2 great songs instead of just one.
Having played in a few bands I learned it's about where you stand on stage in regard to your amp and the others plus the monitors, There's a sweet spot for every band member to return to if the sound gets muddy while on the roam.
Robert Plant, the lead singer has been in many other bands over the years. But, most recently, he's been collaborating Blue Grass artist Alison Krauss. Everyone is amazed that such different singers can do so well together. Please Read the Letter is a great song and video. They also do a few old Zep songs in their live shows. One example is what many commenters want you to listen to....When the Levee Breaks. Plant and Krauss do it as well live at Glastonbury 2022
I was 18 and I was there.
Sick
Me too - my first gig
I was 19 and was not. Bastard.

That got so much grief and negativity over their 3rd album being so acoustic and laid back, that this was their finger in the air reply on Zeppelin IV. The drum intro was inspired by the intro in Little Richards "Keep a Knocking but You Can't Come In".
Bonham was getting frustrated trying to play 4 sticks. He took a break & started pounding this out, the others jumped in. They wrote & recorded this in 20 minutes. We got 2 great songs instead of just one.
Been a long time
Been a long time
Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely time
That’s what the crowd is singing back
Having played in a few bands I learned it's about where you stand on stage in regard to your amp and the others plus the monitors, There's a sweet spot for every band member to return to if the sound gets muddy while on the roam.
I've said it before: I love these reactions to the old stuff. Keep it going. ❤
I was selling Tshirts at that concert, it was a brilliant concert ❤

Robert Plant, the lead singer has been in many other bands over the years. But, most recently, he's been collaborating Blue Grass artist Alison Krauss. Everyone is amazed that such different singers can do so well together. Please Read the Letter is a great song and video. They also do a few old Zep songs in their live shows. One example is what many commenters want you to listen to....When the Levee Breaks. Plant and Krauss do it as well live at Glastonbury 2022
🌸 ROCK GODS
Great, thanks! They'd already been rockin' for at least 10 years by '79. How about looking at "Foxy Lady" from Jimi Hendrix? !!!
Yay ! My faves!❤
Because they're THAT good. What an incredible band...so beloved
