There is a reason that we are here talking about a band that only played together for 10 years 50 years ago. There is a reason why 20 million people wanted tickets to the one night reunion in 2007. It doesnt matter what is said about them good or bad. The facts speak loud and clear. BEST BAND FOR EVER AND ALWAYS!!!
They made absolutely the right decision not to carry on without John Bonham. He couldn't be replaced for numerous reasons. It was over and I think the attempts they have made to reunite and recreate have proved that decision in Dec 1980 was just and correct. I think they are the best band ever. Their body of work is so brilliant and timeless.
Well depends how you look at it. They (Page&Plant) did two tours in the 90’s together. Now if you’re talking surviving members with Jason on Drums I agree.
There body of work is nothing compared to the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. They never had enough variety and to me every album sounds the same, could of come out of any year and they couldn't write a number one to save there lives and live the stones were better between 69-74. The problem is Robert plant as his voice makes every song sound the same with his warbling and just standing there plus they ripped off to many songs! I understand people copy other songs and that's how music works but they gave no credit for the amount they stole. But like Keith Richards says there's only to much of plant you can listen to till you feel like pulling your ears off!! And lyrics are atrocious or stolen! Don't get me wrong they were good but not compared to Beatles or Stones maybe to stoned Americans but in England never were anything really
It seemed back in those days someone was always coming up better then who came before, we expected someone to take it to the next level after Zeppelin, but there was no next level, Zeppelin was the zenith of rock music
I recall hearing Whole Lotta Love as a young man and thinking it was raw, explicit, and dangerous. From that day forward Zeppelin became my favorite band, and each new album seemed like a gift.
Jimmy Page Robert Plant John Paul Jones John Bonham a stellar line up. They created some timeless music and made a lot of fans happy. I'm a life long fan. I'll always listen to them almost every day of my life.
Couldn’t agree more! The only competition was Cream, and they had already broke up! You had Yes and ELP, but they had broken away from classic blues rock. Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull was already on a different track, as well! Black Sabbath emerged, but they were different as well!
@@Geezer-yf8hv everyone was different back then, everyone had their own original sound, you could tell within two or three notes who the band was, it’s sad that all that is gone, now everyone sounds the same and that’s by design
@@Charles53412 who inspired Rush ?? Zeppelin , the who , pink Floyd , yes . When Neal Peart took over on drums they went a different direction, establishing there own sound and music style .
Led Zep II was my true initiation to rock at 12. It changed my life regarding music and started to play guitar and till now, I'm 61, I played Zep awesome and geniuses creations. They will always be one of the top 3 band for me along with Pink Floyd and the Beatles.
Four ultimately talented individuals came together in a a precise moment in time. I would never try and explain it. There was never anything like them before and there has never been since. I went onto many bands looking for someone to fill the void they left. As much as I enjoyed the music scene after them I have found as probably many have no one compares! As I have loved the reunions they were all missing something and it was only recently I realized what it was, THE SPONTANEITY! I don't know if they would had went on as they were if John hadn't passed but it seemed even in 1980 they were still playing long sets. As for the reunions we know Live Aid was a mess but I still loved it. Atlantic's 40th was not great but again it was for me. I think Page and Plant's excursion back in time was wonderful but it also lacked the spontaneity of Zeppelin. The 02 show was beautiful way to put the legacy to rest. Jason got his respect and his chance to make his father proud. That said Jason is not the same player. Mostly because he dose not have John's influences. Today my main musical go to is Zeppelin. I find the radio boring and often turning it off. There are those I try and enjoy but they all seem to become stale. I think I could listen to only Zeppelin the rest of my days. The Cabala recordings were a tremendous find and it was new to me. Then there were the live video's that surfaced mainly because of the internet. Most of which I never knew exsisted before. I was always a fan of the unofficial live recordings as my introduction to Zeppelin was a vinyl double album called Blueberry Hill recorded at the Fillmore. I lost it over the years but that was my introduction to the greatest band I ever had heard and love to this day! My Bach or Mozart if you will!
I am with you! I saw them at the Orlando Sports Stadium early on(I think August 1970), and I have been hooked ever since. My wife does not understand my infatuation with them, but I just never get tired of them. I have an Ipod with the lps in chronological order which I use when I am out and about, but to fully appreciate the music, you must hear it via a great sound system. It truly was a sad day for me when Bonzo passed. All things must run their course I suppose. I wish the best to the other three members.
@@markcarter4504 Sad is not the word! I never had the pleasure of seeing them but that day I will never forget. They were going to be my first concert. I was cutting my last few vlasses in high school and I was going to the ticket office. On my way across the yard radio's blared and as I reached the end of the yard the news came over the radio. I don't think I was ever as crushed as I was at that moment. I would never see Zeppelin. Plant was my first concert and I seen Page a week before Live Aid. I enjoyed Robert's solo stuff but the heavy was gone until he got together with Jimmy. Even then it took awhile before they really started getting back to where they were.
@@johnnilsson1311 When I saw them in Orlando, it was at the Orl. Sports Stadium, which was originally a cattle auction complex. Eddie Graham turned it into a wrestling arena. Later the concerts began. It was very hot and the acoustics sucked, but it was Zeppelin. Just before stairway, Plant commented about how hot it was, and he said" what an amazing place". I am sure it stood out to them as being a strange place for a concert, but in 1970, it was the best Orlando had to offer. When I listen to that show on You Tube, it is a blast from the past for sure. Anyway, God speed and keep them alive in your world. I do🙂.
No matter what people think or as what critics say Led Zeppelin changed rock&roll for the better they had a bond that other bands couldn’t hold together to me that was the glue to hold Led Zeppelin together and when john B died it was the end of zeppelin as a whole if only johns son Jason was born earlier enough to stepped in to take his dad’s spot I love all of zeppelins songs but I didn’t come to appreciate the music and lyrics till I was into my 40”s still the greatest rock band of all time
The first CD I ever owned was a gift from my father to me when I was 12 years old. It was LED ZEPPELIN ll. I played the hell out of that CD when my parents were not around on my Dads Stereo System. When I turned 13 I got Money for my Birthday and one of the gifts I bought myself was Led Zeppelin l. The first track Good Times Bad Times just hooked and Blew my young mind. I never had the chance to see the original line up of LED Zeppelin because of the year I was born, growing up my Dad shared stories with me of him and his friends in the early 70’s seeing LED ZEPPELIN numerous times and how they always ended up with in the first 8 rows. When I was in Highschool MTV Unplugged was a great show to watch and they got ROBERT PLANT and JIMMY PAGE back together to play their show. I am sure a lot of people thought it would only be a one time thing but a the “UNLEADED” tour transpired. As soon as I heard they were going to tour I begged my Dad to get tickets. I woke up one Saturday morning when he was coming through the front door, he asked me “How are you doing in school” I replied “Good” he told me “Keep your grades up and I will have a suprise for you” my Dad took me to see Page&Plant on their first tour. A couple of years later “Walking ThroughClarksDale” was put out by Page and Plant, I bought that CD and tickets to the second tour they did. Their music is absolutely timeless
Led Zeppelin is one of the most significant soundtracks of my life. I was 12 when one and II came out! I was 14 when number 4 was released- can you imagine. Houses of the Holy was pure magic, black light posters, a trip to a mystic land. I love that album, every record is stand alone for me, and part of a continuum. Physical Graffiti came out the year I graduated high school.(!) Followed by Presence. Then I saw them at Day On The Green. Thank you boys, just incredible, so beautiful and powerful. Led Zeppelin 🕉 forever ♾️ ✨️
Stairway to Heaven is so awesome! Yes they played it all the time and it was number 1 in America for quite awhile! But now new generations who have never heard it before r blown away!!! I have even seen guys cry abit from the emotion of it.! So yes they played it alot but it is because people wanted to hear it all the time back in the day. Now me as a older but still sexy Zep fan love to hear it all over again but with new ears and new young fans that maybe only knew rap but now a whole new few generations later it still TOTAL FIRE and it is not lost them. They wish they could have seen them live. My generation was totally lucky and blessed for all their music and other bands in thr 70’s!
I grew up w the music of the British invasions part 1 and part 2. From the Beatles and Stones to Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. By far Zeppelin stood above them all. Musically they could be scattered during their live shows, some great and some ok. Studio wise them and Floyd produced flawless records along with their chosen engineers - who dont get enough credit. No one brought the swagger of Zeppelin, no one. Yes, other bands were tremendous but Zep brought an excitement, a insanity to their audience who adored them. It was a mystical power that they wielded and never let go of.
I enjoyed this doc, okay? But Led Zeppelin were NOT "Heavy Metal"! They were Blues-based heavy rock 'n roll combined with acoustic, traditional Keltic and later European strings and sounds. As Jimmy liked to say, "I was interested in light and shade, heavy and light." In other words: Contrasts! Black Sabbath are "Heavy Metal", LZ is not.
Led Zeppelin was the best hard rock band in the late 60's early 70's. I still have my albums 1-3, but unfortunately I bought #4 on 8-track and we all know what happened to that system. Since I don't believe in replacing my music purchases just because technology changes or mistakes I didn't replace #4, my loss I guess , but I refuse to pay for something twice when the loss wasn't my fault. At 71 I still and always will love and listen to Led Zeppelin.
Hope your taking the piss or it's a very odd comment! "I will not buy another album as it's not my fault that it doesn't work" kind of like a five year old would say lol but if led Zeppelin is someones FAVOURITE band then they must be childish as there good but you can't compare to Beatles or Stones as most are covers
Led Zeppelin was definitely my favorite band in the 80s, Rush was a close second. Of course Rush continued to release albums and eventually took the number one spot but I definitely still get in my Zeppelin moods where they are pretty much number one at least for that day
September25th.1980 was the demise of Led Zeppelin when John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham passed. The only time that they reformed and even came close with the original sound, is when "Bonzo's" boy Jason was behind the drum kit. It should be noted that at a soundcheck,"Bonzo" walked out onto the grounds to see Led Zeppelin play Kashmir with preteen Jason at the helm. And holding it down just like his Pa. The previous paragraph mentioned was at Knebworth in August of '79. Can't recall if it was the first week they preformed or second. Would have been great to see them either time.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Led Zeppelin in 1971,72,73,and forth and final time 3/5/75 in Dallas in 1971&72 I think they were still a little rough around the edges in 73 I think they were almost there and by 1975 they were a fine tuned machine and the crowned jewel of any band on the planet. There have been only two bands where if anything happen to any member the band was over they could not be replaced Led Zeppelin & Rush.
John Paul Jones was/is a dedicated family man who was known or staying in other hotels than the rest of the band, going back to bed after performance, not doing the drugs and groupies. Calling his family after performances.
Led Zeppelin was my first _favorite_ band. After that it was Rush, but since then there have just been too many great bands and genres I'm into to ever have just one favorite again. Still proud of the first two though.
Greatest Rock-n-Roll band of all time! It was the golden age for Rock music and Zepp created magic with every song. They were so many firsts with Led Zeppelin - every album was iconic. All four members are at the top of the Best Rock (Drummer/Vocalist/Guitarist/Keyboardist) of all time. You just cannot get any better than that. Stairway to Heaven was unanimously chosen as our Hgh School Class of 75 Song. The Principal forbid it and chose something else. All anyone remembers about that idiot is how "uninformed about music" he was for dissing one of the greatest songs of all time. And that's all most of us will remember him for - cannot even remember his stupid name. Robinson Class of 75.
My time of rock and roll! Unfortunately, Led Zeppelin was one of the few bands I didn't get to see. But they were by far my favorite band and still are and I'm 65!
The Zep camp...out shone live performances versus studio performance.... Roberts voice was the most dynamic out of studeo.... A sheer natural!!! Celebration Day for me was....... Mind blowing..,,.
To me the Beatles brought the best all around Rock of the 1960s. Zeppelin took off where the Beatles left off in the late 1960s through the 1970s. Zeppelin was both great in studio and live. At times almost 2 different bands was Zeppelin, between Studio and Live performances. They reinterperted the studio music in their live performance. Brought stadium rock to the forefront.
Absolutely Love Zep 3! One of their most diverse albums with many folk and acoustic songs, but still blew everyone away with “Immigrant Song”!!! Also killed it with “Since I’ve Been Loving You”! Magnificent!!! Back in the days when they would put out a couple of albums per year!! Bands these days can barely put out a good album every 4-5 years! In all that time, many bands have broken up!
Presence is amazing. Achilles Last Stand. Tea for One. Incredible! INCREDIBLE. As for In Through the Out Door, I think they returned to a higher water mark than Presence with that one. In The Evening, Fool In the Rain, I'm Gonna Crawl, All Of My Love, all classics on par with their first six albums. And then the barf-choke-die routine. Undignified end.
💥From HOTH onwards their MUSIC incredibly got sO much BETTER than they already were‼️ They begun experiments in music & writing music to ROCK themselves & amuse themselves Unconcerned of critics anymore & their music got sO UNSTOPPABLE & Un TOP-ABLE & sO dam FUNKY‼️ Thank you Lord!! Got me through tuff Xs , helped me to believe that GOD provides what you need to get through!!! Made me very happy‼️
Was lucky enough to catch them, at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977 for my 2nd concert, 1st on the floor. I've seen a couple hundred shows since but nothing has come close to matching that sustained intensity. Absolute madhouse at the front.
I'd rather listen to IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR than ZEP 3.... you can't call IN THE EVENING/FOOL IN THE RAIN/ CAROUSELAMBRA/I'M GONNA CRAWL weak.... and ZEP were only fully firing on 2 cylinders.... plant and jones....
Maybe it's my age, being older than the critics on this video or maybe it's my American view which is different but I have a completely different view of these albums from my youth. I see their later albums as better than their early stuff. I feel the same way about the Beatles stuff. I feel the Beatles put out their best work as individuals in their later bands. Some of the Robert Plant solo stuff is also his most evolved musicly. His Principal of Moments is close to In Through The Out Door. I think that's the Zeppelin era best stuff even today.
@@matthewashman1406 Band on The Run and Live And Let Die are not lacking energy and are more complex to keep the music interesting beyond three chords. And Lennon's, Harrison's and Plant's later stuff has aged well.
Page lacking the tastefulness of Beck? HUH. listen to "The Rain Song". far more sophisticated, nuanced and beautiful than anything Beck has written. that Australian footage from 1972 is insane. they absolutely peaked there. Robert's voice could still do anything. they'd written and recorded Houses Of The Holy. build me a time machine
Muy buen documental. Refleja perfectamente a la banda, con sus claros y sus oscuros. Para mi es la mejor y mas grande banda de Rock and Roll de todos los tiempos, y eso que hay muchas otras bandas de las que soy fan, bandas fabulosas, pero como dice la ultima frase del documental: si dentro de 100 años quieres explicarle a alguien lo que es el Rock and Roll con poner unas cuantas canciones de Led Zeppelin se podrían hacer la más perfecta idea, e imagen.
That Australian bloke is talking out of the back of his neck...what a plum! Jonathan Wingate's phrase about 'Stairway', "The difference between the tourists and the purists" is so spot on. Of course Dave Lewis doesn't put a foot wrong either. If you're a real Zephead none of this documentary casts any new light on the greatest rock band to ever walk the earth, but a good effort nonetheless. 👍
Dazed & Confused was the literal 1st tune I learned on Bass on my Fender Jazz Bass and later I did on a P Bass with my own pop added to it. I would have LOVED to be able to play Bass with Page on Lead. Sadly being 62 now and having nerve damage and arthritis in both hands I sadly cant play any longer.
The start of Stairway is typical, familiar, lots of song sound like that going back 100s of years, typical but very well done, what follows is totally original and was ripped off by everybody.
Who this one guy is that continually downplays the greatness of this GOAT band…saying that there were many better bands?!?!….simply not true…the numbers speak for themselves….record sales and concert tickets sales….they are simply unparalleled buddy….so lighten up Kruschev!
Taurus has a descending chromatic baseline, like thousands of other songs. Stairway to Heaven combines the descending chromatic baseline with an ascending chromatic progression on a treble string. Completely different tunes, Spirit just tried to jump on the LZ lawsuit gravy train. If they are so similar, why weren’t millions of copies of Taurus sold?
In short, when Bonham sadly passed, Led Zeppelin was over. Yes we have the studio albums and 1000s of great live Boot-leg recordings some better than others, but as a fan of the band that never got to see them live I always wonders what a 1980s Led Zeppelin would have been like? would it be harder like the first two albums, would it have a vibe like the Wearing and Tearing off coda? I wonders sometimes what would Jimmy Page and Bonham consider "Harder Rock" than what In through the out door was? Have to remember that their was AC/DC who just was blistering hot as Zeppelin was off their first album, and New Wave bands like Talking Heads, and alt rockers like The Police were huge if not bigger live act then Zeppelin was in 1979-80. But the old story goes that music industry was shaken by the loss of some great rock bands and when Zeppelin came out with Coda it gave the record stores a jolt that was much needed. I still wonder what would have been....?
First documentary I watch without some approximative Led Zeppelin cover shitty background music, but unfortunately we have some total unknown interviewed guys no one cares about. If someone has got a real link for a great Led Zeppelin documentary, thanks for the sharing. NEXT!
La muerte de Bonzo hizo mucho daño a la banda, la voz de Robert fue la mejor del rock hasta que se apagô, Jonh Paul fue el equilibrio de la banda con su categoria como musico, Jimmy guitarra màgica, juntos los mas grandes!!.
Immortali i miei led Zeppelin Page il genio della chitarra John Paul Jones bassista iconico John bonham il miglior batterista al mondo sir plant il miglior cantante rock e hard rock di tutti i tempi le riviste NME ROLLING STONES LA RIVISTA PLANET ROCK incorona ROBERT PLANT il miglior cantante rock di sempre
I still remember in the 80s def leppard was bragging about outselling led zeppelin I was still young never new much about zeppelin at the time and was ya fuck those old men this is the 80s we are leaving that old shit in the dust time went on I discovered zeppelin and def leppard in my mind only has one good album after discovering zeppelin I understood that nothing no hard rock band was doing in the 80s was anything as good as zeppelin I love those old men lol
I turned it off when the guy said the greatest heavy metal there ever was. Led Zeppelin was NOT a heavy metal band. Jimmy Page hated that designation. Their music was so much more sophisticated than that.
I would argue that there is sophisticated heavy metal but Led Zeppelin had such a range of styles they were able to play, I dont know of any other major band even attempting this range.
@@julrob97 That is a matter of opinion. Queensryche's early stuff was definitely sophisticated, and still heavy. Perhaps the line is blurred that sophistication makes it automatically progressive, I would not put Yes and Queensryche in the same category.
Why is this docu named 1973-1980 when it obviously has footage and all from 1969 an onwards...nothing quite new here The Stream seems to make their own docus from already existing youtube stuff I'm not impressed at all!

A couple of years later “Walking ThroughClarksDale” was put out by Page and Plant, I bought that CD and tickets to the second tour they did. Their music is absolutely timeless
Nice comment
Fabulous, thank you for posting them. Good time for you. Led Zeppelin forever.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheStreamRock on💯🙏❤🎸!
16 in 1976 Zep was always cranking on my car stereo, such emotionally charged music, loved it then and still do over 50 years later.
They were absolutely MAGNIFICENT! Pure magic!
They were Julie. They were superb.
The Song 🎵 Remains D'same Forever❤❤❤ the Greatest of all Greatest Rocker's***😮forever heavy'music'blues***
Will I marry me ??? 😊
Great video. Love the footage from Australia
I was fortunate enough to see the mighty Zep, in April 1977, in Chicago, at the old Stadium.
So cool 😎 thanks for sharing!
I was at the Pontiac Silverdome show about 2 weeks later.
Me to great show
The best ever band of every time 🔝🤟🏻
Led Zeppelin is one of the most significant soundtracks of my life.
I was 12 when one and II came out! I was 14 when number 4 was released- can you imagine.
Houses of the Holy was pure magic, black light posters, a trip to a mystic land. I love that album, every record is stand alone for me, and part of a continuum.
Physical Graffiti came out the year I graduated high school.(!) Followed by Presence.
Then I saw them at Day On The Green.
Thank you boys, just incredible, so beautiful and powerful.
Led Zeppelin 🕉 forever ♾️ ✨️
To this day they still sell at least a million albums a year and that proves their music is timeless
Here's to you Bonzo!
One of the greatest drummers ever.
Incredible power. 🥁
Thanks mate.
Sorry you left us too soon. 🕉
Stairway to Heaven is so awesome! Yes they played it all the time and it was number 1 in America for quite awhile! But now new generations who have never heard it before r blown away!!! I have even seen guys cry abit from the emotion of it.! So yes they played it alot but it is because people wanted to hear it all the time back in the day. Now me as a older but still sexy Zep fan love to hear it all over again but with new ears and new young fans that maybe only knew rap but now a whole new few generations later it still TOTAL FIRE and it is not lost them. They wish they could have seen them live. My generation was totally lucky and blessed for all their music and other bands in thr 70’s!
Physical GraffittI just blew me away! So many great, instantly classic songs! I instantly bought all the older albums!! No regrets, either!
The guy at the end saying some other bands were better, I wish he'd name them as I never heard of such a band.
Guy is a fool fk him !! Zep is the best
Grand Funk?
The Beatles The Stones and loads more
@@MrThedonhead Ya...........NO!!
Bay City rollers
I grew up w the music of the British invasions part 1 and part 2. From the Beatles and Stones to Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. By far Zeppelin stood above them all. Musically they could be scattered during their live shows, some great and some ok. Studio wise them and Floyd produced flawless records along with their chosen engineers - who dont get enough credit. No one brought the swagger of Zeppelin, no one. Yes, other bands were tremendous but Zep brought an excitement, a insanity to their audience who adored them. It was a mystical power that they wielded and never let go of.
I will 2nd that
I was lucky
enough to see them in 70s
It's etched in my
memory bank ♾️

And after the judges listened very hard, they found Led Zeppelin did not rip off the opening to Stairway
greatest Rock Band ever
I still have most of my Zep albums including 1 2 3 😁 from my hippie days 😎
Whoever produced this video and story did an outstanding job.
I enjoyed this doc, okay? But Led Zeppelin were NOT "Heavy Metal"! They were Blues-based heavy rock 'n roll combined with acoustic, traditional Keltic and later European strings and sounds. As Jimmy liked to say, "I was interested in light and shade, heavy and light." In other words: Contrasts! Black Sabbath are "Heavy Metal", LZ is not.
Led Zeppelin was the best hard rock band in the late 60's early 70's. I still have my albums 1-3, but unfortunately I bought #4 on 8-track and we all know what happened to that system. Since I don't believe in replacing my music purchases just because technology changes or mistakes I didn't replace #4, my loss I guess , but I refuse to pay for something twice when the loss wasn't my fault. At 71 I still and always will love and listen to Led Zeppelin.
Please tell us you're kidding.
That doesn't make sense
Hope your taking the piss or it's a very odd comment! "I will not buy another album as it's not my fault that it doesn't work" kind of like a five year old would say lol but if led Zeppelin is someones FAVOURITE band then they must be childish as there good but you can't compare to Beatles or Stones as most are covers
@@MrThedonhead If you're saying that with Zeppelin's music, "most are covers", then you're being ridiculously ignorant.
Sorry, but that's just plain silly thinking! I'm 71 also, and replacing whatever needs to be!
Led Zeppelin was definitely my favorite band in the 80s, Rush was a close second. Of course Rush continued to release albums and eventually took the number one spot but I definitely still get in my Zeppelin moods where they are pretty much number one at least for that day
70s
@@juliemanarin4127yup not the same Era!
September25th.1980 was the demise of Led Zeppelin when John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham passed.
The only time that they reformed and even came close with the original sound, is when "Bonzo's" boy Jason was behind the drum kit.
It should be noted that at a soundcheck,"Bonzo" walked out onto the grounds to see Led Zeppelin play Kashmir with preteen Jason at the helm. And holding it down just like his Pa.
The previous paragraph mentioned was at Knebworth in August of '79. Can't recall if it was the first week they preformed or second. Would have been great to see them either time.
Greatest Rock Band in History !!!!!!!!
I had the great pleasure of seeing Led Zeppelin in 1971,72,73,and forth and final time 3/5/75 in Dallas in 1971&72 I think they were still a little rough around the edges in 73 I think they were almost there and by 1975 they were a fine tuned machine and the crowned jewel of any band on the planet. There have been only two bands where if anything happen to any member the band was over they could not be replaced Led Zeppelin & Rush.
Thanks for sharing, that's so cool!
@@TheStream Thank you for the great video.
John Paul Jones was/is a dedicated family man who was known or staying in other hotels than the rest of the band, going back to bed after performance, not doing the drugs and groupies. Calling his family after performances.
Thanx for uploading it
Enjoy it!
Led Zeppelin was my first _favorite_ band. After that it was Rush, but since then there have just been too many great bands and genres I'm into to ever have just one favorite again.
Still proud of the first two though.
Sevendust
Pretty much the same goes for me
Rush?
Today is the forty third anniversary of Bonzo's death. RIP Bonzo.
Greatest Rock-n-Roll band of all time! It was the golden age for Rock music and Zepp created magic with every song. They were so many firsts with Led Zeppelin - every album was iconic. All four members are at the top of the Best Rock (Drummer/Vocalist/Guitarist/Keyboardist) of all time. You just cannot get any better than that. Stairway to Heaven was unanimously chosen as our Hgh School Class of 75 Song. The Principal forbid it and chose something else. All anyone remembers about that idiot is how "uninformed about music" he was for dissing one of the greatest songs of all time. And that's all most of us will remember him for - cannot even remember his stupid name. Robinson Class of 75.
clearly, the douche was in the wrong career!
pffft
i think it was my theme too. either that or Color my world.
My time of rock and roll! Unfortunately, Led Zeppelin was one of the few bands I didn't get to see. But they were by far my favorite band and still are and I'm 65!
Nothing can dent Stairway for me. It's magic will always be there.
You needed all four of those musicians for Led Zeppelin. You take one away and you have lost the magic. That is what occurred. R.I.P. Gonzo.
Correct. That also applies to ANY band that has a member leave
Bonzo
Animal played drums,not Gonzo,I think he played a live chicken actually
The Zep camp...out shone live performances versus studio performance....
Roberts voice was the most dynamic out of studeo....
A sheer natural!!!
Celebration Day for me was.......
Mind blowing..,,.
Awesome band and documentary
Sorry dude, Stairway was NOT stolen from Spirit. Although they do sound similar.
Led Zeppelin: the hard and heavy balanced out by the soft and light.
To me the Beatles brought the best all around Rock of the 1960s. Zeppelin took off where the Beatles left off in the late 1960s through the 1970s. Zeppelin was both great in studio and live. At times almost 2 different bands was Zeppelin, between Studio and Live performances. They reinterperted the studio music in their live performance. Brought stadium rock to the forefront.
I remember watching this on tv years ago , most these talking heads have no idea what they are talking about and doubt many of them are real zep fans
Absolutely Love Zep 3! One of their most diverse albums with many folk and acoustic songs, but still blew everyone away with “Immigrant Song”!!! Also killed it with “Since I’ve Been Loving You”! Magnificent!!! Back in the days when they would put out a couple of albums per year!! Bands these days can barely put out a good album every 4-5 years! In all that time, many bands have broken up!
Presence is amazing. Achilles Last Stand. Tea for One. Incredible! INCREDIBLE. As for In Through the Out Door, I think they returned to a higher water mark than Presence with that one. In The Evening, Fool In the Rain, I'm Gonna Crawl, All Of My Love, all classics on par with their first six albums. And then the barf-choke-die routine. Undignified end.
In Through the Out Door was actually one of my favorite albums. I liked the experimentation.
It was a rough time. Plant sounded really tore at the time of this album, but sang from the heart with “All of My Love”!
Amazing , great of music Led Zeppelin 👋👋👋🔥 Wonderful documentary!!👋👋👋✌️🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheStream Thank you.
💥From HOTH onwards their MUSIC incredibly got sO much BETTER than they already were‼️
They begun experiments in music & writing music to ROCK themselves & amuse themselves
Unconcerned of critics anymore & their music got sO UNSTOPPABLE & Un TOP-ABLE & sO dam FUNKY‼️
Thank you Lord!!
Got me through tuff Xs , helped me to believe that GOD provides what you need to get through!!!
Made me very happy‼️
Best band ever.
man i love robert plut , very much ! what a voice ! except sometimes , i saw him long time ago ; he sung all the stuff one octave under lol !
I love Presence!!! A terrific and raw guitar album
BlackDog and Heartbreaker, two incredible riffs
Heartbreaker, one of my Favs, but always hated that it was paired up on the radio with Living Loving Maid, which is one of my least favorite tracks!!
Was lucky enough to catch them, at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977 for my 2nd concert, 1st on the floor. I've seen a couple hundred shows since but nothing has come close to matching that sustained intensity. Absolute madhouse at the front.
Is "In through the outdoor" Led-Zep's weakest link? YES. But it does have 1 shining star. "All of my love". A father speaking to his son.
Good song, but I'm rather partial to "Fool in the Rain". I love Jimmy's fuzz bass lead and the syncopated drum fills.
Carousalambra is enchanting. What are you guys talking about?
@@SevenThunderful ‘fool in the rain’ is one of my favourite all time zep songs bonzo blitz’s this one☝🏻
🌭
I'd rather listen to IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR
than ZEP 3....
you can't call IN THE EVENING/FOOL IN THE RAIN/
CAROUSELAMBRA/I'M GONNA CRAWL weak....
and ZEP were only fully firing on 2 cylinders....
plant and jones....
Page was a genius at writing guitar riffs. I also believe they had good chemistry as people.They didn't fight between themselves.
THATS WHERE
PETER GRANT COMES IN….KEEPING THEM HAPPY AND TOGETHER ON THE SAME PAGE…HANDLING ALL THE DETAILS AND PERSONALITIES
@@kevinsoete7817 I agree, Peter was a fascinating guy. Almost like a fifth member of the group.
Iwantsend you soooo.meny thanks. as so amazing video
Love 💖💖💖💖💖 from Finland.
You are so welcome!
Stairway... the rock anthem..
Thanks for your your video,I'm a old fan,,,
Great documentary!!!!!!
Maybe it's my age, being older than the critics on this video or maybe it's my American view which is different but I have a completely different view of these albums from my youth.
I see their later albums as better than their early stuff. I feel the same way about the Beatles stuff.
I feel the Beatles put out their best work as individuals in their later bands.
Some of the Robert Plant solo stuff is also his most evolved musicly.
His Principal of Moments is close to In Through The Out Door. I think that's the Zeppelin era best stuff even today.
Physical Graffiti is the best album by a country mile
Na earlier is best for energy and power for both bands.
@@matthewashman1406 Band on The Run and Live And Let Die are not lacking energy and are more complex to keep the music interesting beyond three chords. And Lennon's, Harrison's and Plant's later stuff has aged well.
I don't know why they kept putting down Houses of the holy...It's my Favourite Led Zeppelin albums.
Page lacking the tastefulness of Beck? HUH. listen to "The Rain Song". far more sophisticated, nuanced and beautiful than anything Beck has written.
that Australian footage from 1972 is insane. they absolutely peaked there. Robert's voice could still do anything. they'd written and recorded Houses Of The Holy. build me a time machine
Muy buen documental. Refleja perfectamente a la banda, con sus claros y sus oscuros. Para mi es la mejor y mas grande banda de Rock and Roll de todos los tiempos, y eso que hay muchas otras bandas de las que soy fan, bandas fabulosas, pero como dice la ultima frase del documental: si dentro de 100 años quieres explicarle a alguien lo que es el Rock and Roll con poner unas cuantas canciones de Led Zeppelin se podrían hacer la más perfecta idea, e imagen.
Sin duda Maria!.. la mas grande
No you play them the stones as led Zeppelin don't rock n roll! You can't dance to Zeppelin
That Australian bloke is talking out of the back of his neck...what a plum! Jonathan Wingate's phrase about 'Stairway', "The difference between the tourists and the purists" is so spot on. Of course Dave Lewis doesn't put a foot wrong either. If you're a real Zephead none of this documentary casts any new light on the greatest rock band to ever walk the earth, but a good effort nonetheless. 👍
LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER! LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN!
Nice footage. Commentators are often moronic. Cheers.
Dazed & Confused was the literal 1st tune I learned on Bass on my Fender Jazz Bass and later I did on a P Bass with my own pop added to it. I would have LOVED to be able to play Bass with Page on Lead. Sadly being 62 now and having nerve damage and arthritis in both hands I sadly cant play any longer.
Who originally wrote dazed and confused?
Best band ever period!
You can't copyright a common descending chord progression. Stairway is nothing like Taurus after the first couple of bars.
The start of Stairway is typical, familiar, lots of song sound like that going back 100s of years, typical but very well done, what follows is totally original and was ripped off by everybody.
I think I've seen every Zep doc out there, 18:41 in and this is my favorite
Thanks for watching!
' They were pleasing themselves ' ... brilliant Sherlock .
Who this one guy is that continually downplays the greatness of this GOAT band…saying that there were many better bands?!?!….simply not true…the numbers speak for themselves….record sales and concert tickets sales….they are simply unparalleled buddy….so lighten up Kruschev!
“They were good.”
-Captain Obvious, 1986
Taurus has a descending chromatic baseline, like thousands of other songs. Stairway to Heaven combines the descending chromatic baseline with an ascending chromatic progression on a treble string. Completely different tunes, Spirit just tried to jump on the LZ lawsuit gravy train. If they are so similar, why weren’t millions of copies of Taurus sold?
29:38 Not according to the court that claim was tried in, there are many songs using a similar chord progression that preceeded even Spirit.
Led Zeppelin forever
Good documentary, but the title of it " | Robert Plant | Jimmy Page | John Paul Jones", WHERE'S Bonzo ??????????
He died dude
Stairway's opening is a common chord progression... You can't copyright chord progressions or there would only be about 500 pop songs in the world...
In short, when Bonham sadly passed, Led Zeppelin was over. Yes we have the studio albums and 1000s of great live Boot-leg recordings some better than others, but as a fan of the band that never got to see them live I always wonders what a 1980s Led Zeppelin would have been like? would it be harder like the first two albums, would it have a vibe like the Wearing and Tearing off coda? I wonders sometimes what would Jimmy Page and Bonham consider "Harder Rock" than what In through the out door was? Have to remember that their was AC/DC who just was blistering hot as Zeppelin was off their first album, and New Wave bands like Talking Heads, and alt rockers like The Police were huge if not bigger live act then Zeppelin was in 1979-80. But the old story goes that music industry was shaken by the loss of some great rock bands and when Zeppelin came out with Coda it gave the record stores a jolt that was much needed. I still wonder what would have been....?
Wonder if they’d be like the Stones, touring into their 80s? Something to imagine.
Achilles last stand is the blueprint for Iron maiden's career.
First documentary I watch without some approximative Led Zeppelin cover shitty background music, but unfortunately we have some total unknown interviewed guys no one cares about. If someone has got a real link for a great Led Zeppelin documentary, thanks for the sharing. NEXT!
La muerte de Bonzo hizo mucho daño a la banda, la voz de Robert fue la mejor del rock hasta que se apagô, Jonh Paul fue el equilibrio de la banda con su categoria como musico, Jimmy guitarra màgica, juntos los mas grandes!!.
Immortali i miei led Zeppelin Page il genio della chitarra John Paul Jones bassista iconico John bonham il miglior batterista al mondo sir plant il miglior cantante rock e hard rock di tutti i tempi le riviste NME ROLLING STONES LA RIVISTA PLANET ROCK incorona ROBERT PLANT il miglior cantante rock di sempre
I still remember in the 80s def leppard was bragging about outselling led zeppelin I was still young never new much about zeppelin at the time and was ya fuck those old men this is the 80s we are leaving that old shit in the dust time went on I discovered zeppelin and def leppard in my mind only has one good album after discovering zeppelin I understood that nothing no hard rock band was doing in the 80s was anything as good as zeppelin I love those old men lol
Could RUclips possibly squeeze in more ads to disrupt this?
Simply the Best 🤟☮✌
That footage at the beginning was filmed in Sydney, 1972.
The"1973-1980" doc opens with talk about CB and 1969... 😆
I just dont see how you could talk about the 73 tour and the Rain Song but leave out The Song Remains the Same?
I turned it off when the guy said the greatest heavy metal there ever was. Led Zeppelin was NOT a heavy metal band. Jimmy Page hated that designation. Their music was so much more sophisticated than that.
I would argue that there is sophisticated heavy metal but Led Zeppelin had such a range of styles they were able to play, I dont know of any other major band even attempting this range.
@@mryhdy6266 No such thing as sophisticated heavy metal. Just noise to me.
@@julrob97
That is a matter of opinion. Queensryche's early stuff was definitely sophisticated, and still heavy. Perhaps the line is blurred that sophistication makes it automatically progressive, I would not put Yes and Queensryche in the same category.
They were heavy metal! They invented it fgs! Give them credit!
@@MrThedonhead Jimmy doesn’t want the credit because he felt HM was a joke.
Why is this docu named 1973-1980 when it obviously has footage and all from 1969 an onwards...nothing quite new here The Stream seems to make their own docus from already existing youtube stuff I'm not impressed at all!
😅 try sleep better
Because they would have to pay for rights for that shit
Who cares we're talking about the mighty Zeppelin
It's zeppelin, be happy with it
It's a thumbs down for you!
OMG I loved playing Black Dog on my P Bass with this track !
This has to filmed before the lawsuit about stairway and the spirit song. They won that lawsuit.
They paid them out of court you mean
