- In a word... yes! This was from 2007 (I don't know why I say 2011 in the video, I think that was the dvd release year!). Impressive stuff!

I really enjoy this young man's opinion, breakdown, and narration. I hope he continues to produce more and more videos. Very insightful and classy.
Thanks Marvin! I get a fair amount of abuse on here but I'll keep going! :)
wingsofpegasus Please do my friend. You have talent, use it...
I was composing a post in my head and then I read Marvin Norstom''s, and he had expressed my opinion beautifully. I really like the intelligence and positive tone of the wingsofpegasus. He makes me a better rock listener!
parkviewmo I agree my friend...
abuse i can see that, Being your going over something from 12/13 years ago,Its not like it happened last night so This is really pointless,The only reason you\ve done thins using zep is the name is a draw. so you're using their name to try to launch you're crap you-tube channel, get off the crapper. crap.
🎼 What Led Zeppelin did between 69 and 79 can never be duplicated 🎼
At 72 Page has earned the right to have a bad day every now & then. He's killing it in this performance!!! 😃
This version of Kashmir is incredible. The whole concert was incredible. Wish I could have been there. Such an amazing band. Gel together so well, and after all this time their timing with each other is on a very high level. Even Jason has managed to slip into the fold Amazing band for so many many reasons. Thanks Fil 👍
Absolutely the best band ever! Perfection throughout the decades. I am nearly 59 so I had the opportunity to love them for decades. The live Dazed and Confused/Song Remains the Same solo...that is the ultimate Page...you have to see it!
Cool!
I think Jason Bonham did a fine job evoking his dad's distinctive drumming also-quite a feat, yep the boys were in good form!
Yeah he was great, very tough to live up to his dad's playing.
agreed! they kept it in the family.
If if weren't Jason this never would have taken place. It wasnt enough for Plant to go with the reunion, but we were gifted THIS!
Michael Gorman Absolutely!!!!Note: I had tickets to see Zepplin and it was in D.C. as I lived in VA at the time. Never happened as John Bonham choked in his sleep. I lost the ticket as I was just 15 or 16 at the time.
I'm almost convinced that it was the spirit of his dad come back to play with his mates one last timer
I’m almost 63 & a grandmother. Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite band & I love Robert Plant’s voice! I just discovered this site & will be watching others. Thank you for your respect for Zeppelin. For a band who got together 50 years ago, their music is still strong, even with the youth of today. I love to jam to the old Zeppelin tunes as I’m driving along & there have been many times a teen I’d pass would nod to the music & give me the thumb’s up! And, by the way, I must say you are adorable! Not flirting, although I am a cougar, lol😏😉!
Haha thanks Melodie!
Always been fascinated by Jimmy's red Les Paul Standard with the B-Bender. That's a LOT of routing if it's a les paul. ;) I've probably heard more live Zeppelin footage than any other band -- Jimmy worked a GREAT deal on his live tone for this show. When someone like him has time to prepare, production is going to be otherworldly. And his tone has never been better, imo.
Led Zeppelin as a band,as musicians, as creators of sublimely wonderful songs, there never was or will be anyone better. No question, the greatest ever ☘
When I saw Celebration Day I was also expecting some old guys collecting more pension funds. Their first song seemed to confirm it a little bit because Robert Plant's voice was a little rusty. But after that it became really good and I ended up getting emotional watching it. Here were some guys who knew of their previous "reunion" disasters who were now determined to uphold their standards. You could see a lot of practice had been going into it and they even got John Bonhams son Jason.
I can live with this being their last gig.
Probably the best Zep have ever been. Robert Plant was simply amazing. The way he held the note at the end of the "arab" section is remarkable. Jimmy on top form and JPJ and Jason absolutely perfect. Watching the DVD blew me away.
Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band. I was too young to see them originally, and I would honestly have given a kidney to be at this concert. Thanks for mentioning how great the whole show was, because it really is so tight, and they also seemed to be having so much fun! I am so glad to have this DVD. Robert did an amazing job with the vocals, but I suspect he realized he couldn't do that night after night, so that's why he was opposed to a tour. As much as I wanted to see them, I have to respect him for that. As for Jimmy, yes he did have some rough performances over the years, for various reasons, but man he could bring it too, he is the riff master. And I can always, always tell it's him on the guitar whenever I hear him, no question. One of the best things about Led Zeppelin was, even though all 4 of the parts were amazing, the whole was still greater than the sum of the parts, because they were just so fantastic together.
Buddy there is no band that could do what led zeppelin accomplished they are still best band ever of all time,
Certainly I haven't seen a reunion gig this good after such a long time away.
Amen 🙏
wingsofpegasus Sir, I’m sure if your really understand to impact of Led Zeppelin’s contribution to the world. John Bonham alone with his right foot triples, you could fill 2 hours.
Tool comes close. Page said their version of No Quarter is better then LZ. Page , Plant & Jonesy love Tool.
There IS no best band of ALL time, Its mostly a matter of preference, In my opinion RUSH is the Greatest.
One of my favorite Live video's by Zep is "Achilles Last Stand" from the Knebworth 79 show. After 2 and half years of hiatus after Robert lost his young son. It is magical, and shows how great they were. There is a point where Robert and Jimmy glance at each other and there is a giddy smile/shrug as it's going so well. Had John Bonham not died I think they would have taken the world over again!
Yeah I agree!
I think Jason Bonham is superb in duplicating his father's deep banging drum beats. What a hard act to follow and does it so well. Definitely an underrated drummer.
Amen.
In my opinion Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd are two of the best bands ever. Even later on in life they are still just as impressive if not more so than their younger selves. Thanks for reviewing this amazing band and of course legendary guitarist. Jimmy is the man.
👍
Hi Phil. I was happy to see that you did an analysis on this 2007 Show titled Celebration Day.
Zeppelin reunited for this first Full Length Concert in nearly 3 decades in Memory of Atlantic Records Founder Ahmet Ertegun who passed away in 2006. The Band spent considerable time in rehearsal to insure that they put a Great Show. John Bonham's son Jason rose to the occasion by Capturing his Dad's power and phenomenal Drumming abilities. A world record 20 million people inquired for a chance to hold a ticket to this event, which is the back story as you now have Led Zeppelin’s Celebration Day. If you look online, there is footage of Zeppelin in Rehearsal playing to an empty Venue. Quite interesting to see how they prepared for the Big Show. Unfortunately, Robert Plant has made it very clear that he has no desire to ever reunite for a Zeppelin concert tour. He stays busy actively pursuing his solo career.
Jimmy & Jonesy were absolute geniuses,you have to be a fool not to see that.
They were the mad scientists.
Everyone always talks about Jimmy and Robert, however, very little is ever said about JPJ and his musical contribution to the overall sound. This song wouldn't have nearly the aura and atmosphere that it has were it not for JPJ. If he was to suddenly stop playing, there would be a huge hole in the sound.
Yeah that's true!
Yes. Hes a full 25% of this foursome
Excellent performance despite their ages. They didn’t miss a step....just took it from this point in time but with the maturity they have gained which gives it a kind of rootedness. Thanks for doing this. One of my favorites.
No problem ☺
Jimmy Page is untouchable regardless of how lousy he has played at times. Don't mess with a God!
Musicians are human beings not Gods !!
@@ritahall2378 you can have Jesus I’ll take Jimmy Page
If you like perverts / pedophiles it’s your prerogative- I do admire his musical genius however I do not worship any human or character with the name Jesus
I absolutely agree that this was a great Zeppelin performance ; the vocals and the musicianship were excellent and the band seemed to be happy, relaxed and in control.
Yeah it's great and oozes confidence.
Totally agree, I like how Fil analyzes these songs. Very insightful, please keep on doing this Fil!
I had the pleasure of seeing Led Zeppelin in 1975, (in Detroit, Michigan). They rocked the house! Detroit has a habit of giving the energy back to the artist. ...was a spectacular event!
I think since 2007 LZ had performed as good if not better since Song Remains at Madison Square. They are fully focused, invested and passionate about it. Jimmy is definitely on track and Roberts vocals are the best I've heard in years. This is why LZ is LZ.
Fil,
Led Zeppelin is and will always be the best band ever! The best 4 musicians to ever Grace a stage at the same time!!!
👍
Ditto.and Page and Jonesy were genius collaborators
Here, Here
Fil!
I love that you smiled and jammed right along with this jam! Your face showed the exact same expressions that mine did when I first saw it! My daughter gave this CD to me for Christmas gift and we all watched it Christmas Day! I saw Zeppelin in 1977 in Chicago and was absolutely Godsmacked at how awesome this show was! I cried because I'd always known Jason would fill his father's stool behind the drums! Thanks a million for showing this performance! You're right, not many bands can recapture their former glory but, even at 69 years old, Jimmy ROCKED and Robert was in his true form! John Paul Jones looked quite happy to be back with the boys too! Thanks again and Keep On Rockin!🎸🎼🎧🎸🎼
No problem Donna, thanks for the comment!
I'm amazed that it's been 11 years since this concert, time's just whizzed by!
Yeah time flies!
YES THEY DO!!! Kashmir is an epic song and they are an epic band in fine form. No question. Thanks so much, Fil.
Hi, Phil! Melodie again. I can tell by the twinkle in your eyes & the smile on your face that you are a Led Zeppelin fan! Especially, when Jimmy Page is doing what he does best, play those guitars! My all time most fave band & each one brings it every time, as far as I’m concerned. I agree with a previous comment that JPJ didn’t get the recognition deserved, but he is so talented & brought his uniqueness to the group. John Bonham was so skilled at his drums that Led Zeppelin ceased to exist the day he died. Luckily, John Bonham passed his DNA on to his son Jason, & it was Jason’s life’s dream from a little tyke to play with Zeppelin. Of course, Robert & Jimmy got most of the recognition being front men & exceptional at both their crafts. You are so right, that once you’ve got it you don’t lose it! Robert Plant can still sing as well if not better in a different, more matured way. Still, nothing can top his youthful sound either. And, Jimmy Page. Need I say more? White hair & all, he is an icon to other guitarists who’ve strived to be as good as him! The four members of the band had a special chemistry & I think that is the most important thing aside from talent I don’t like to think of them as aging, but after all, they are only human. Extraordinary, humans, but mortal just the same. It happens to the best of us. At least, I hope they stay around as long as they can & give us more music if it’s what they want to do. They have given us a lifetime of great music & my day isn’t complete unless I listen to something from them! Thank you for your positive opinion on Led Zeppelin! ❤️
No problem! 🤘
Got the chills man and I've seen this several times. They truly came full circle. Such a triumphant performance.
Yeah it was awesome!
Fil Led Zeppelin the best there was,the best there is,the best there will ever be. Enough said!
This gig really surprised me, I was expecting some watered down version of the songs, but it was seriously impressive.
wingsofpegasus From their press conference afterward they said they rehearsed for two monthes. Not bad for a band that hadn't played together for years and Jason playing drums. Bands together for years could learn from the masters.
I agree with the live performance. This is an amazing job by the Gods of Rock. I love BLASTING this version in the car. Sounds so good.
Jimmy pulls notes from bends that reach out to the edge of the cosmos during this performance,
This video blew me away! It's on my regular rotation. It has always been one of my favorite Zepplin songs, lyrically and musically! Plants vocals ar still there!! 💖 Glad to see you covered it. I was going to suggest it! 😎 👍👍👍
Fil, I'd already watched this video about a half dozen times myself, and was absolutely in AWE of the performance. I concur - best I've ever seen as well.
👍
There is literally no better collaboration than Led Zeppelin.
John Bonham - Drums (The best drummer ever)
John Paul Jones - Bass and other instruments (The greatest Bass player and maintains the song in such a way that no one can!)
Robert Plant - Vocals (The voice that makes you wonder)
Jimmy Page - Guitar (One of the all time greats?
For people saying you should check out TSRTS I say nah, you should check them out in their prime. Royal Albert Hall
Thanks for the suggestion dude!
royal concert was epic. page was on fire. 1970 .. band was raw. blues..
Also see the Earl's Court concert as well.
Or Live in NY Sept 19,1970. And that one from Danmark Radio 1969..one of my favorites too.
I think that this live version is better than the original studio version. The energy level comes through like static electricity. The whole concert is great. I wish that Jason's drums were mixed a little louder in the recording especially in this song. John Paul Jones once again shows he's an irreplaceable part of the group on bass and keyboards. Jimmy and Robert don't seem to have lost a step. All the songs were as tight as I've heard them. Great concert video.
One of my favorite bands & definitely one of their best songs! So lucky to have met him a few times through his poet girlfriend Scarlett. He's one of my favorite guitarists. I love his style. Fantastic video! 🤘🎸✌
Another Recommendation here! This reminded me of Yes in their Hall of Fame induction performance. After all these years, they were still absolutely flawless. Jon's vocals were incredible for a 70+ year old man. Didn't sound a day over 20. It was sad to see Chris Squire not on stage, but Geddy was a welcome addition. That said, I showed that video to my mother, who was the one who introduced me to them, and it made her so happy and nostalgic that she cried. And then I cried lol. It was a beautiful moment. Music is just beautiful!
Awesome! Yeah I am lucky enough that Yes followed me on Twitter recently, they're another awesome band.
Very cool! Good for you man! Maybe it's a good time to post a video on them! Might get a response from one of the guys! But Yes (heh), they are awesome! I never got into them as a kid when she introduced them to me, but as I grew as a musician, I understood why my parents loved them so much. They are incredible! And their performance at that age blew me and my mother away. It was a great moment.
Anyway, I know i basically said this before, but I really enjoy your videos. You have a great way of expressing the "Wow Factor" in these moments. I guarantee your channel is going to blow up and I'm happy to have found it. Keep it up man!
I like to see your reaction to his solo in No Quarter(live version) from The Song Remains The Same. It's one of his best.
Thanks for the suggestion Mike! :)
The breakdown at the end of the solo is my favorite use of wah wah I've ever heard.
Yes, definitely do this! It’s my very favorite Jimmy Page solo.
You have the same hair of young Jimmy Page
Haha thanks!
Ageed! Oh sh__ your so right - lol!
A very generous response to a great performance. Good to see the appreciation on your face as well as in your words. I agree that this gig is superb throughout. The drumming of Jason Bonham deserves much credit for holding the structures of the songs firm in a completely fluent and supple way. Lovely to hear Robert Plant enjoying the ranginess in pitch and timbre of his voice and to see the rapport between all four guys.
Yeah Plant really impressed me too on this, his voice is in great condition still.
Jimmy is awesome! Thanks for watching those videos. I sure do wish they would have toured.
Definitely, and no problem :)
Hi Fil, I really enjoyed your thoughts on this Led Zep vid, so I subscribed! The whole Celebration Day concert was excellent but this track in particular was, quite frankly, phenomenal. Though I've watched and listened to it umpteen times, it still leaves me gobsmacked. Plant's vocals are just on another plane. Thanks for your insight.
No problem!
Where were you 50+ years ago? I was listening to the Zepllin 1 album. Life was never the same, thankfully 😁
I wasn't born until late 71
This song iconic and you hear that sound used well jimmys riff on loads of tv programmes: a song I think it was written about the bands struggles on the road and how they were burnt out and all the different cultures they met and different people. Different language culture but could relate to them 👌🏻👍🏻
Definitely the best live performance I've ever seen from Zep. Kick ass!
Definitely!
When Percy holds that note out in this tune it gives me chills .
Every time .
You have to play it to that part.
Damn Fil!!!!
I might stand alone with my opinion, but TBH nowadays I like this version more and listen to it much more often than the original studio version. That's something not many musician can pull off, after 40 something years: performing better than they did as young men.
Why no words on J.P.Jones? And yes, Jimmy is the best guitarist EVER ... no other like him. Case closed!
They are crushing it here. Great job!
This gig must have been awesome to be at!
Hello, Fil! Have just come back from the 3 Celebration Days. Thanks for being polite and respectful to the best not at their best. For all the years gone I now realize that to acknowledge pros and omit cons that you pursue when analyzing is the sign of wisdom. Keep it up!
I have recently discovered your videos and I really enjoy them. Great analysis my man!
Thanks Ryan!
This was a stunning performance, no doubt about it.
that was an excellent reunion concert and you could see the old jimmy coming through with his awesome guitar work but it was robert who supprised me with his vocals he had been and still does taylor things to suit his ageing vocal chords but he sounded like his old self here !
Yeah it was awesome!
Yep, great gig. I think Jimmy would have been better if things hadn't been tuned down so much to help Robert Plants voice too.
I think it's a standard thing to tune down especially so late in their careers, but still they pulled it off!
Robert is a pro. He saved his voice for the show and don't forget he MADE this style popular. Look around on the interwebs for the rehearsal, Percy shows his talent and that he is saving his voice for the Special Night. Jimmy is also having a great time.
Keep these reviews coming.....I just discovered Your channel and I absolutely love it. 🙏❤
Thanks!
Jimmy Page did more for the guitar than you or any of the people in this comment could do in 10 life times. To question his greatness is trivial. He's Jimmy Page. Done.
Yeah he's still got it!
Wish he would release something new though! Great channel by the way!
Didn’t Jimmy Page play this gig with a broken finger on his left hand? I think he did which makes his playing even more amazing.
Right on brother !!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This performance was from 2007. Zep released the DVD "Celebration Day" in 2012. The delay was because the other three guys were hoping Plant would agree to a reunion tour, but he said, "no", and it stayed 'no'. People who were there said they fixed a lot of mistakes for the DVD. Robert admitted in a press conference for the DVD launch that sometimes when he went for a high note, his voice went south. That was fixed in studio.
Yeah I got the dates mixed up!
The only thing I noticed that was fixed was the feedback during Good Times Bad Times which is evident on the audience bootleg
cool parsons/white b string bender on the paul. It's good to see him use different guitars out of the hundreds he owns.
Jeezus Fil, you've restoered my faith. thx for that, from me and my deceased son who was bigger Zep fan than me.
For real fil. these boys show not only is it still theirs, but they never lost it.
Yeah it was a great watch, must have been amazing to be there but it was like a lottery win!
To me, it's like cooking. With a good dish, what makes it what it is, is various ingredients. If you take an essential ingredient out, it won't be the same. You will know it. With the many of best bands, it is not the same when certain members are not there. There is a feel, a bond and a chemistry. It's a combination of things that make a band what it is. The Led Zeppelin reunion was still awesome, but without John Bonham, I don't know if the surviving members would like to carry on with that band. Great video. Cheers!
I think this gig had a great feel to it as Jason Bonham was on drums, it was a very nice touch.
Great King Rat Either Phil Collins or Tony Thompson did not know the material enough. They were unprepared.
As a, from the beginning Led Zeppelin, fan, the Swagger, chops and slamming keyboard is back!! And a shout out to John Bonham's son, Jason, who brings the heart beat back with a BANG! Thank you,Fil.
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos and like hearing your opinions on these artists. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks! Will do!
This "one off" show was Zeppelin at their best as far as I'm concerned. I would've loved to have seen a new CD and tour come from this but Robert has the issue about it. It's also sad that Robert has said that "People can't seem to move on" from what they achieved because it was so game changing. How *does* one move on from the Zeppelin legacy when everyone was so affected by it!!!???
Thanks for posting.
No problem, I thought the same. More touring and more music! But it's a great goodbye.
I don't think you move on. You add to it. Some creative people especially John Lennon want to erase it from memory because it wasn't perfect, or what they wanted. Or what it could have been. And they feel stuck. So they pretend it doesn't exist. Others don't.
I saw John Paul Jones live with King Crimson some years back. And he did When the Levee Breaks on steel guitar. No vocals. It was wonderful. The audience loved it. As I'm sure you know.
Music is an art form which allows you to do something creatively when you are young. Then do a bunch of other things, as well as age. Then when you are faced with playing that old song again, you can bring those experiences and fresh ideas to it.
You can't do that with say painting. As Joni Mitchell says, "No one ever said to Van Gogh, paint a Starry Night again, man." Joni Mitchell is someone to look into.
Robert is looking at the whole thing from the perspective of a person in the band. I have been a fan since Led Zeppelin I at the age of 9, and I never got to see Led Zeppelin live, and I'm not unique.
Think of all the Led Zeppelin fans there are in the world only a tiny fraction of those people got a chance to see them live, when they were going strong.
A concert would be announced, the tickets would go on sale, 10 minutes they would be in the hands of scalpers, who could ask any price. Why bother to stand in line for something you have no chance in getting if you aren't there camped out 2 nights before? And even at the time stadium rock had it's share of detractors.
You cant just move on from what was is and always will be the greatest music of our lifetime
They had a really good tight drummer in this performance too! Jason is almost, if not as good as his father!
Phil I’m not a player of any instrument I wouldn’t know we’re to start but I can appreciate good music and I’ve been told I have a good ear for taste in music. But you really help me understand why I liked certain musicians so much I felt there greatness but could explain why. You do a great job of explaining that for me I really appreciate these vids you do 👌🏻👍🏻 thanks again
Kick Butt!! Jimmy you rock and like I said on the last video, you're always aces with me!!!. Robert my man those vocals were just spot on and killer. I loved it Fil. Thanks! And Thanks to the one who suggested it.
Thanks Jeffrey! Yeah this show was killer!
They are Gods!! . They never get old.. love led Zeppelin💓
Yes they still have it!..I don't know how one could even ask such a question!..dazed and confused is enough on it's own to merit that question useless..your a British Guitarist as am I and I just find it mad you could ask such a thing,we are all cult Jimmy!!..btw he is so cool to when I got to talk to him a few years ago!!
Nice!
Ahhhh....this song always takes be back to my Freshman year in High School! Dang I grew up with the best music!! 💞
An absolute iconic track
Led Zeppelin is my religion when they playing well ! No booze No drugs and they are back for sure !
I've even heard some decent Plant stuff recently too!
Watch The Song Remains the Same or Live at The Royal albert Hall either one will show Jimmy at his finest not to mention the rest of Zepp. The thing that made them great to me was their ability to improvise at the drop of a hat. Much LOVE
Thanks for the suggestions Ron!
Really enjoyed this video.. you did a great job communicating your insight of it. Thank You, watched some of your others and find you very informative and honest.
A new subscriber ... 👍🏻
Thanks for the nice comment Rick, much appreciated!
Zeppelin's first gig EVER where all four musicians onstage were stone cold SOBER, as Robert has stated in interviews!
That fact and the fact that Zeppelin began preparing + rehearsing on June 3rd(John Paul Jones, Jimmy, +Jason with Robert on the road eventually joining them for the last six weeks of rehearsal)--all that SIX MONTHS of planning prep+rehearsal helped shake off 27 years of rust off of Zeppelin+completely sober, they were able to remind us why they are the best band ever!
Love your passion and enjoying led zeppelin
This is there best performance of this song period
Great video well done....Jimmy Page is a rock god.I agree with so many others that the bad performances ie live aid pales into insignificance when u realise what led zeppelin has done for music.4 masters who truly will never be matched.All hail the gods of rock.
Amen!
Live aid was rushed they had no time to rehearse where as the celebration tour with Jason they rehearsed a whole bunch. Plus the drumming in live aid was really off nothing agsinst Phil Collins but it wasn’t even close
It seems to me that in recent years even the mild, "fair weather" LZ fans have come around to recognize and appreciate such LZ songs as Kashmir, Achilles, Since I've been loving you, maybe When the Levee breaks, No Quarter. And at the same time maybe sort of eased off a bit on such LZ classics as Stairway, RnR, Dazed & Heartbreaker.
I prefer to get off of the beaten path myself as much as possible. Led Zep newbies should check out tracks such as The Rover, Out on the Tiles, Houses of the Holy (the song from Physical Graffiti), Baby come on Home, Tea for One, Down by the Seaside. Just my 2 cent rant for today.
Excellent channel Phil !! Subbed.
Thanks! That wasn't really a rant, just some suggestions! 👍
wingsofpegasus
Yeah that's true !
Good rant. But if you ask me, almost to a song, they are all classics!
Great video! Grew up listening to their music due to my mom being such a huge fan. Great bands like that can still hold their own no matter how old they are! Btw, love the sweatshirt you're wearing in this video! Love LOTR.
Thanks!
Analyze JPJ bass on Ramble On. One of the most underrated musicians in R&R since he could pretty much play anything you threw at him well...very well.
My respect to them and ppl like you who APPRECIATE the Led. I was 9 and the first time I burned some treeeeez in the 70's while listening to them and to be fair Floyd, too. My top two bands of all time.
Agreed...I was a teen in the 70s...loved them since I heard them in 1969!
In this video it’s basically two musicians page and JPJ is filling the entire stadium with sound!!
It's so nice to see a Led Zep video that kills all of the other bad performances. Jimmy Page kicks serious ass. I'm sure there was a period in time, as the previous videos show, that there was something wrong with him on a mental level.....seems to me he's got that all sorted and is back in true "rock god" form. Well done. Cheers mate.
It's great to see, proper top notch performance here!
Now he’s super clean jimmy is Back, certainly in this performance. Trouble is Jimmy & JPJ worked so hard to get to that level for the O2 gig
& then.......nothing. Now Jimmy just remaster’s stuff & talks about Zeppelin.
When Bonzo died, Robert lost his best friend. Jimmy lost a dear friend, and the band that was his dream. It seemed to kill something inside him. He couldn't touch a guitar for a year or two. When he picked it back up again he said he could hardly play chords. What made things worse for Jimmy was that Bozo died at his house.
If you haven't already, watch It Might Get Loud, the moment when Jimmy plays Whole Lotta Love. The looks on Edge and Jack's face say it all 😉
👍
I actually think their sound were tighter in 2007 than in the seventies. Now they are finally not just focusing on being rock stars with all its perks, but also being musicians. ;)
Yo, you should check out (Listen to this Eddie) by led Zeppelin. One of their best bootlegs ever!
Cool, thanks for the suggestion dude!
We weren't surprised just thrilled.
Would love to hear your analysis of Led Zeppelin’s “Going to California”. Some amazing acoustic guitar by Jimmy Page…as usual.
Biggest difference: Page is clean and they had a ton of time to rehearse for this performance. For past reunions, none of that was true. That performance is likely the last time the band (with son replacing father on drums) will ever perform, especially since they finally showed that they could bring it again.
Yeah it was a hell of a goodbye.
It certainly is a nice change of pace to be pleasantly surprised. They sounded better there than they had during much of the time since 1973. They sure knew how to play to the excesses of the music industry, and that was the biggest reason for their downfall live :) If you want to hear true greatness, listen to anything from 1969-1971, when they were hungry and out to prove that nobody did it better.
Jimmy is still my personal favorite.
Wings of Pegasus! Your Channel is Awesome! 😁🎸
Thanks!
Good morning ~ such a delight! Thank you ~
No problem!
This gig was 2007 not 2011.
Yeah sorry I made a mistake, it was released in 2011 I think, that's what I got mixed up!
wingsofpegasus No worries. Also Live Aid '85 they had TWO drummers on stage with them. Neither knew what they were doing, lol.
One of their cleanest concerts ever, really very few mistakes at all, still have it after nearly 30 years
One of the best I've seen.
The concert was a resounding success, although Jimmy's solo on Stairway was a debacle, he no longer can play it;
Love this video they sound amazing thank you Phil
My wife loves Zeppelin and not just their music, Plant is a kind of GOD for her, love it :)
