@@BestOff61 Nobody has ever reached the heights LZ soared to, the only other band that can be mentioned without making me erupt with laughter is the Beatles.
Some might argue Metallica from 1983-1991 from "Kill Em' All" to yes even, 1991's The Black Metal, were one of the few bands from any era succeeding Zeppelin's 1980 breakup to release groundbreaking, fast-paced, innovative, slick, forward-thinking music that was so far ahead of 90% of rest of other bands of the era, excluding maybe U2, they were at least near Zep's level. Some music critics, insiders, writers for years labeled Metallica "Generation X's Led Zeppelin". Of course, while certainly Ulrich and Hetfield have praised Led Zeppelin's music on their own development, style, and music as an influence, Metallica's themes and aggressive, occult, macabre, often times cynical criticisms of organized religion, war, politics, corruption has far more to do with Black Sabbath. James Hetfield, Ulrich have admitted numerous times if Black Sabbath never existed, most of the successful 80's thrash, glam metal bands don't exist, either. Maybe quite a few punk bands from the late 70's influenced by Sabbath like the Ramones, Black Flag, the Misfits, and Henry Rollins never form or get involved in music.
I’m a 70 yr old lady here and I have to have my LED Zeppelin fix now n again to feel young again, a huge fan and I can’t count how many times I come on to watch the old 60,70,80,90 concerts videos Robert Plant was 20 in this vid to my 13-14yrs of age back then when they first appeared National omg their iconic!!!❤
The reason why rock woke up again at around 1990 (before it died again in 96ish, with the exception from Wolfmother) was very much that grunge bands and other subgenre directions were inspired by finding their parents'old LPs from '69 to' 78
The audience thinking they're just watching another one of those afternoon gigs, not realizing they're actually watching one of the best band in the world. Bless them.
You see they were Danish teens who just got out from School..those years Deep Purple also used to perform for this kind of audiences, I don't know, maybe the new Hard Rock were so good for educational purpouses...
We were on the Long Beach freeway going downtown to the Arena to see them, and I kid you not, pulled up next to us on Freeway, Robert Plant gave us the peace sign!!! We were freaking out 😮😂
Damnit, unfortunately I feel like it was his best. It's such a shame that by '73 this version of Plant was forever gone. His time of fearlessly hitting soaring high notes was way too short-lived. I understand that he still ripped it up and to this day still sings great, but man, for me, there is no greater Zep era than when Plant was destroying unnaturally high registers like this. I can, however, see why it didn't last very long. That range was godlike. Unsustainable.

Imagine being there in person and not being able to decide on who to focus on be it the guitarist, the drummer, the bassist, or the singer?!!? It definitely would've been a mind blowing experience!!!! I thank my uncle for introducing me to this band.
I remember being 13 in 1980 and have to hear about the deaths of John Bonham and Bonn Scott. I was so sad that I would never be able to see them perform live.
On August 12th, 1968, in a small basement at 39 Gerrard Street in London, England, Page, Plant, Jones & Bonham assembled and played together for the first time. All four were stunned by what happened the instant they began playing. As skilled musicians (to put it mildly), they immediately recognized that the melding of their individual talent yielded an immensely powerful chemistry. They had bottled lightning & they knew it. I'd wager that their faces probably resembled some of these overwhelmed kids. In all of rock's storied history, Led Zeppelin remain unequaled.
My 12 years son and I will love them forever and ever, every single member of Led! Can't wait to see Robert on stage on the next 21st October! He's not only a singer, he's a legend, no matter what he sings.
my god what a great sound 1 guitar and a bass and a small drum kit and 1 singer and they create an incredible sound the timing between them is amazing the bass and the drums are just perfect together the lead guitar is on a whole different level than most and the vocals oh my god what a voice the best rock band ever and this recording sounds freaking amazing
Bonham is a beast on the drums, Plant is has the voice of an angel, Page has the godly guitar playing, and JPJ has the thick and sweet like honey bass!
Ok let's all be honest, if you're a vocal fan Plant owns that, if you're a bass player John Paul lays it down, and if you want to play lead well Jimmy is the man. And if you want to play the drums bonzo ain't giving lessons. This is a band of rock gods. Thank you Jimmy, Robert, and both John's.
@@petergolan242 Except Jimmy turned down other offers, to start a band of his own, and was referred to Robert. Jimmy was there for Donovan, Petula Clark, temp Yardbird only when they were in a jam. He was probably scary, experimenting with drugs so frequently, and the dark arts. Clapton in my mind, could have given up on him, but maybe there was guilt there for giving him hard drugs. We are so fortunate they survived those times. Sorry to preach, just thinking about all Robert put up with. My favorites are Immigrant Song and Kashmir.
Indeed Did or could those kids in the audience even know what this was the start of? I think not. But I admit I am Jealous beyond words that they were there and I was not.
they'd been playing together for barely 7 months when this filmed. absolutely incredible. an amazing performance. the chemistry between these four guys was elemental and magical. i couldn't even guess how many times i have watched this over the years and it never fails to amaze.
Just 'Google' up 'Led Zeppelin-Danmarks Radio 1969 Full Concert' it's 31 minutes and 55 seconds of the 4 best ever at the beginning of it all. It was one small gig for a band, one giant leap for all bandkind.@@chadc1982
That's how it is. When you hook up with the right people......it's magic. Kinda like the love at first sight thing where everything comes out perfect.You know immediately
В 69 ом мне было 7 лет) ,а 74ом когда закончилась война во Вьетнаме , которую часто показывали в новостях в Советском Союзе, я уже во всю слушал хард рок. Вот такая она жизнь) слушаю и сейчас и Лед Цеппелин один из них)
One of my favorite performances. Seriously doubt the kids sitting there had any idea that they were witnesses to the magical talent of Led Zeppelin. Wish i was there!❤
Can you imagine how fortunate the audience was to just be witnessing this and then considering that this was probably the smallest venue that they played there after. I am always in awe of the mighty Zep!
Yes they were but , could rock have evolved the way it did without this timing and this ? band . I saw Jimmy play with The Firm and that was the best guitar solo ive ever seen
Over 50 years old and STILL blows your f#ckin head off 30 seconds into it. That’s eternal greatness and badassery like NEVER before or since! Long Live The Mighty Zeppelin!!!
Pagey, Plant, and Bonzo may take center stage, but my goodness, John Paul Jones is on a whole other level in this performance. That bassline... What a band!!!
This is my favorite live and studio version of this song, it encapsulates the power, intensity, speed, range, vibrancy and just sheer awe-inspiring explosiveness that Led Zeppelin can muster in one song... musical perfectionist geniuses!
I agree. What's even more amazing is that (1) this was from 1969, (2) this was on their debut album, (3) and they were contemporaries of bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Because Led Zeppelin is usually associated with the '70s, it's easy for people to forget that they started in the late-'60s and that this came out in the same year as "Yellow Submarine" and "Let It Bleed." They were really ahead of their time in making this kind of heavy and intense music at a time when rock music was still pop.
You're absolutely right, and it was because they weren't like the beatles that they were vilified in the media, there's a ridiculous interview from 1970 where a journalist criticized their music on the basis that he couldn't hum or whistle to it like you could with the beatles. I think that's a compliment it emphasised how Zeppelin created more complex, nuanced and revolutionary music, rather than a catchy tune you can play on the radio (even though could've easily done that. But I always thought that the late 60's was the best time for rock n roll as it bred such an aggressive passion in music combined with avant garde styles of music fueled by an age of rebellion. In my opinion, even though they are viewed as gods by their fans and respected by most people, I steel feel like they're underrated, not of appraisal but of the acknowledgment of what the fuck they did for rock n roll and music in general, exceeding beyond bands from before them (the beatles or rolling stones) and after them (aerosmith and van halen) even though i still love them. But Page knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted to achieve it, both on an industry level and a music level. Unlike other popular artists Zeppelin were seen as the first 'punk' type band, due to their resistance of the media and press. They were a unique band of the time who had the perfect recipe or alchemy of 4 perfect musicians.
The reason that rock n roll seemed to stagnate (excluding punk rock and other subgenres of rock) is because bands took the wrong lessons from led zeppelin. They obsessed with how they looked, fashioning their hair like them or wearing weird suits on stage because jimmy page did. They thought zeppelin was just about loudness but it wasn't, page understood the importance of the absence of sound being just as effective as the abundance of sound. He created a culmination of all the eclectic and vast styles of music and formed into one thing called rock n roll, but people seemed to miss that. They focused on communication breakdown black dog and whole lotta love but forgot about the rain song, going to California, tangerine or white summer. Rock n roll from then on had an obsession with only getting louder and louder, increasing amplification, getting thicker strings and tuning down the guitars. Out of Zeppelin's wide array of shades of music, but people only took one thing and focused on that. I find it sad that Zeppelin was as good as it got, not because they were bad, personally they're my favorite band of all time, but because music should keep getting better
I know what you mean when you say that you feel like they're still underrated. Their riffs have become such a fundamental part of the rock and roll canon that most of us take the band's impact and legacy for granted today, but they were total trailblazers back in the day. And for so many different reasons--the type of heavy music they created, their resistance to singles, their production and recording techniques, the way they integrated various influences and genres into their sound, and even the way they looked. Also, there probably has never been another band that was created with such a clear and singular vision like the one that Page had when he got those guys together. He wanted to create an intense, heavy rock sound that people had never heard before, and that's exactly what he did. Even though they were not a punk band, they had a proto-punk, DYI attitude. And yes, they were the perfect four musicians for their type of music. Page remarked that most bands up until that time had one great instrumentalist, but Zeppelin had 4 master musicians who were all great at what they did. I have to agree with him.
Exactly, and it was that vision that drove them to success, most artists lack a meaningful vision these days when that's the main component for great art
throwing his arm counting the group in so good Zeppelin was Jimmy's baby his manifestation then the stars aligned the four became one powerhouse of maybe the best rock group that will ever be :) ✨ @@KittyGrizGriz
The late 60s and early 70s demonstrates a level of musicianship in popular music that may never be replicated ever again-certainly not in the near future.
Led Zeppelin dropping masterpieces since late 60's . This song has plenty of different phases. Curiously they never let the music stop even when things get almost silent towards the end and then finishing with the same rhythm they started. Such a great band !!!
This is a whole film in one song. The agony, the intense erotic charge, the mastery of every single tone and note, not to mention the silence in between. This is sheer perfection. Thank you.
@@emptyness2583 Led Z stood on the shoulders of giants like Willie Dixon, Memphis Minnie, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Little Richard and Blind Willie Johnson, who were the real tip of the spear of rock and roll.
OMG I THOUGHT THAT SOUNDED FAMILIAR. no joke those 5 seconds had me crazy, I repeated that part in particular so much, double tapping right after the last note :P
So fortunate to have grown up during a time when we heard this playing on the radio, on someone's record player or in the tape deck of our cars. This is about as pure as you can get. No lights, fireworks, video screen, crazy costumes, makeup... just massive talent.
Just saw Robert Plant in Austin, on tour with Alison Krause. He sounds just as good now as he ever did. And they did 3 Zep songs. I’m not ashamed to admit I had tears streaming down my face the whole show!
As a boy I looked up to these guys as men of rock with their long hair and beards. As an old man now I look back at this video and think that they were extremely talented boys. Age changes context so much. Led Zeppelin only made one tour of Australia, however I was fortunate enough to see Robert Plant solo twice in the 80's. To this day the power of his voice still dominates my musical memories.
Zep is my moms favorite band, and was mine for a number of my younger years. No matter how much music I listen to, no matter who may be my favorite at any given time, the mighty Led Zeppelin will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
As it should be … your momma taught you well! you will find yourself down the road, maybe your children or whoever’s talking about Zeppelin as if you grew up with them, which you did, pass it on!!!
@@karenc84121 sorry, I didn't mean 'technically' leading him in, I just meant it was cool how he flicks his arm in sync and the song kicks in. Poor wording on my part I guess.
2024..58yrs..been riding the zeppelin since as far back as I can remember...they are truly an iconic group..amazing music..everything about them and what they did will last as long as this world spins..thank you gentlemen for being a part of my world my whole life..
This is the most incredible sound I have ever heard. Jimmys guitar fuzz is like a spell was cast. I laughed out loud and got chills. Unreal physical effect sound has on a human...
Oh yes, physical affects such as goosebumps, hair standing up and down your arms, chills, headrush, adrenaline spikes! More than physical but also emotional. Happy to sad, content to confusion, get up and go to gone and went, love to hate. Soothes the soul for anyone willing
After all that is Led Zeppelin, to see Page be interviewed and that he does not use swear words in every sentence is quite refreshing. His true love for music and respect for other musicians just enhances his legacy. He is the undisputed (at least by normal people) GOAT and is polite and humble!
Everything he says when speaking of music is just so methodical. He glided thru interviews. And his music knowledge is unparalleled to anyone. I think he’s even above his doctrine. I’m not quite sure anyone knows more when it comes to music theory.

Honestly the more I listen to Zep, the more I'm convinced this may be their best collective live performance, at least among their top 3.
I agree, along with Royal Albert Hall. Plant's voice in his early to mid 20's was incredible.
True. That this recording even exists, with such quality ! Wow.
No Doubt
Younger people today have NOTHING this good to listen to.
Bass, guitar and drums: the raw and dry sound of these three instruments perfectly cooked by Plant's voice. His charisma serves the tables.

He was probably scary, experimenting with drugs so frequently, and the dark arts. Clapton in my mind, could have given up on him, but maybe there was guilt there for giving him hard drugs. We are so fortunate they survived those times. Sorry to preach, just thinking about all Robert put up with. My favorites are Immigrant Song and Kashmir.
@@judytullos9889 Jimmy had a band called the firm
Robert's voice was at its most potent & powerful in 1969, imo. An instrument all in itself! 😎
Honestly, the sound is bigger, way bigger than four people could possibly create and man they were tight.
Chemistry......
Check the Doors. No bass player.
"I like to introduce Led Zeppelin to you" and rock n roll was changed forever
More like Rock n Roll is dead and "ROCK" music is born.
Indeed Did or could those kids in the audience even know what this was the start of? I think not. But I admit I am Jealous beyond words that they were there and I was not.
Then the world met the Gods of rock and roll❤❤
@@anitarushlow4022 me to very jealous
❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀✌🏻
The musical chemistry between all of them is mind blowing
they'd been playing together for barely 7 months when this filmed. absolutely incredible. an amazing performance. the chemistry between these four guys was elemental and magical. i couldn't even guess how many times i have watched this over the years and it never fails to amaze.
How many more times are you going to watch the video again?
Always at least once more.
my favorite of all time!
Until I am no longer able to see my computer screen! 😵
Like, a million? at least...omg
Tomas Torandell as many times as I can.
54 yrs ago, and nothing can top this performance to this day, amen.
You got that right!!
Not even close.
Is there any recording of this set available?
Just 'Google' up 'Led Zeppelin-Danmarks Radio 1969 Full Concert' it's 31 minutes and 55 seconds of the 4 best ever at the beginning of it all. It was one small gig for a band, one giant leap for all bandkind.@@chadc1982
@@chadc1982You are listening to it!
I can't get over the quality for 1969 and the band had only been together for 5 or 6 months. Wow
Griffy 1972 they were meant to be.
And this was only two months after the first album was released.
That's how it is. When you hook up with the right people......it's magic. Kinda like the love at first sight thing where everything comes out perfect.You know immediately

Same for me but I was a little older. Some of the best music and I still listen to it and the 70's & 80's....all good.
there was a time when these guys were unknown and they had to introduce themselves. great recording, amazing quality. Love you guys.

This was probably the first televised performance as Led Zeppelin rather than The New Yardbirds.

So right...I like to blow people's mind when they see him in Moby dick...for a moment he vanishes with his magic.
Honestly his playing is not always perfectly in time, but that's what makes it great
@@aidenthompson5074he's always in time, with power and groove
The bass with him was an incredible pairing.
Like Dave Grohl said, it's rare you get a band where each member is a 10/10 in writing, musicianship and performance.
Took Page quite sometime, trial and error, before assembling this great of a band.
I can't think of a band like this
Lord Phoenix I’d say maybe The Who. Even though I don’t really care for Townshend
@@knottsscary he wrote like all the songs and he's so underrated as a guitarist

One of my favorite performances. Seriously doubt the kids sitting there had any idea that they were witnesses to the magical talent of Led Zeppelin. Wish i was there!❤
This is one of the best recordings of all times
Greatest opening ever from these immortal Gods of rock. The power, the emotion, the sheer audacity of a band ready to conquer the world. Look out!
Page is just.............a gift to this world
Jimi is far better
@@louisetaylor3643 ?... what?
They're all a gift.
You hear that bass tho?
@Huck Finn yeah he was an all rounder. Jimi Hendrix just pure genius
I’m 21 and I’ll play this and feel like a surge of rock and roll and listen jus the times of when music actually was good
You got that right young lady 😂
From Russia with Love an' agreement for Peace!!!
So many people your age have no idea the great music from this time period thank you for FINDING And rock on enjoy your youth
Keep it alive!🎉
Page's riff is outside of time and space... Magical and timeless
Best rock guitarist ever for me
Literally 😂
Can you imagine how fortunate the audience was to just be witnessing this and then considering that this was probably the smallest venue that they played there after. I am always in awe of the mighty Zep!
Some say this kids are still sitting there in awe trying to comprehend that they saw god before their own eyes to this very day.
I've never heard or seen better introduction like this one: "I would like to introduce LED ZEPPELIN to you", beautiful! PERFECT!
Nope

They were ahead of their time. One of the best bands of all time!
Yes they were but , could rock have evolved the way it did without this timing and this ? band . I saw Jimmy play with The Firm and that was the best guitar solo ive ever seen
They were right on time
THE best.
Yess, sir!! I'm a late Millennial and I fucking love Led Zeppelin!! I can't imagine what it was like when people 1st heard them the 1st time..
Wrong they are the greatest Band that ever lived.
Over 50 years old and STILL blows your f#ckin head off 30 seconds into it. That’s eternal greatness and badassery like NEVER before or since! Long Live The Mighty Zeppelin!!!
Made my evening….thank u
This is one of Robert Plant's greatest performances. There's so much power in his delivery here.
Pagey, Plant, and Bonzo may take center stage, but my goodness, John Paul Jones is on a whole other level in this performance. That bassline... What a band!!!
my personal favorite live zep performance EVER there are just no words...
zepmetaic no adjectives at all
this is my inspiration for music man, if i ever do a concert it's only going to be like this every time!!!!
Bonham's kit is so small here yet he has one of his best performances ever recorded
Nick Smucker do you see how hard he hits it. like a fuckin cannon
Goes to show its the drummer not the drums...
Yeah size of kit doesn’t matter when you’re a master
hahahh..this is big drum kit may boy..but he is bigger!
Nick Smucker A good drummer never needs more than a 5 or 6 piece sets.
This is my favorite live and studio version of this song, it encapsulates the power, intensity, speed, range, vibrancy and just sheer awe-inspiring explosiveness that Led Zeppelin can muster in one song... musical perfectionist geniuses!
I agree. What's even more amazing is that (1) this was from 1969, (2) this was on their debut album, (3) and they were contemporaries of bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Because Led Zeppelin is usually associated with the '70s, it's easy for people to forget that they started in the late-'60s and that this came out in the same year as "Yellow Submarine" and "Let It Bleed." They were really ahead of their time in making this kind of heavy and intense music at a time when rock music was still pop.
You're absolutely right, and it was because they weren't like the beatles that they were vilified in the media, there's a ridiculous interview from 1970 where a journalist criticized their music on the basis that he couldn't hum or whistle to it like you could with the beatles. I think that's a compliment it emphasised how Zeppelin created more complex, nuanced and revolutionary music, rather than a catchy tune you can play on the radio (even though could've easily done that. But I always thought that the late 60's was the best time for rock n roll as it bred such an aggressive passion in music combined with avant garde styles of music fueled by an age of rebellion. In my opinion, even though they are viewed as gods by their fans and respected by most people, I steel feel like they're underrated, not of appraisal but of the acknowledgment of what the fuck they did for rock n roll and music in general, exceeding beyond bands from before them (the beatles or rolling stones) and after them (aerosmith and van halen) even though i still love them. But Page knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted to achieve it, both on an industry level and a music level. Unlike other popular artists Zeppelin were seen as the first 'punk' type band, due to their resistance of the media and press. They were a unique band of the time who had the perfect recipe or alchemy of 4 perfect musicians.
The reason that rock n roll seemed to stagnate (excluding punk rock and other subgenres of rock) is because bands took the wrong lessons from led zeppelin. They obsessed with how they looked, fashioning their hair like them or wearing weird suits on stage because jimmy page did. They thought zeppelin was just about loudness but it wasn't, page understood the importance of the absence of sound being just as effective as the abundance of sound. He created a culmination of all the eclectic and vast styles of music and formed into one thing called rock n roll, but people seemed to miss that. They focused on communication breakdown black dog and whole lotta love but forgot about the rain song, going to California, tangerine or white summer. Rock n roll from then on had an obsession with only getting louder and louder, increasing amplification, getting thicker strings and tuning down the guitars. Out of Zeppelin's wide array of shades of music, but people only took one thing and focused on that. I find it sad that Zeppelin was as good as it got, not because they were bad, personally they're my favorite band of all time, but because music should keep getting better
I know what you mean when you say that you feel like they're still underrated. Their riffs have become such a fundamental part of the rock and roll canon that most of us take the band's impact and legacy for granted today, but they were total trailblazers back in the day. And for so many different reasons--the type of heavy music they created, their resistance to singles, their production and recording techniques, the way they integrated various influences and genres into their sound, and even the way they looked. Also, there probably has never been another band that was created with such a clear and singular vision like the one that Page had when he got those guys together. He wanted to create an intense, heavy rock sound that people had never heard before, and that's exactly what he did. Even though they were not a punk band, they had a proto-punk, DYI attitude. And yes, they were the perfect four musicians for their type of music. Page remarked that most bands up until that time had one great instrumentalist, but Zeppelin had 4 master musicians who were all great at what they did. I have to agree with him.
Exactly, and it was that vision that drove them to success, most artists lack a meaningful vision these days when that's the main component for great art
Just a testament to the individual greatness of each member of Led Zeppelin and what each offered on full display.
the way jimmy counts in 1,2,3,4 one of the best musicians we will ever have privilege to witness a true master in many ways ,long live Zeppelin!
throwing his arm counting the group in so good Zeppelin was Jimmy's baby his manifestation then the stars aligned the four became one powerhouse of maybe the best rock group that will ever be :) ✨

Jimmy was the head of the shooting star as they blazed a path across the universe and time in this reality
this is close second ruclips.net/video/OorZcOzNcgE/видео.html
The raw power of this band allowed them to display their unmatched musical mastery and chemistry. PURE MAGIC!!
Exhalent definition!
The late 60s and early 70s demonstrates a level of musicianship in popular music that may never be replicated ever again-certainly not in the near future.
SO GREAT TO HEAR THE ORIGINALS PLAY AGAIN! I was fortunate to see them twice in concert in the 70's. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Me too in 75 and 77 😊
There were many amazing bands in the late 60s/early 70s but Led Zeppelin was and will always be the greatest ever.
Led Zeppelin dropping masterpieces since late 60's . This song has plenty of different phases. Curiously they never let the music stop even when things get almost silent towards the end and then finishing with the same rhythm they started. Such a great band !!!
I love this song! ❤
Jimmy Page swinging his arms at 1:04 is actually the best moment in rocks history...at least my fav.
Reminds me of elvis
And for me
I love that part.
Mine too, mine too!
Hes gotta cast his spells somehow!
I was here seventeen how I miss those times,
Led Zeppelin a great band❤
This is a whole film in one song. The agony, the intense erotic charge, the mastery of every single tone and note, not to mention the silence in between. This is sheer perfection. Thank you.
This NEVER gets old; frickin' amazing!
NEVER!
It's 54 years old
I firmly believe they were the best rock band ever. They were the musical tip of the spear.
@@emptyness2583 Led Z stood on the shoulders of giants like Willie Dixon, Memphis Minnie, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Little Richard and Blind Willie Johnson, who were the real tip of the spear of rock and roll.
Jimmy Page playing Smokestack Lightning after his intro was the greatest 5 seconds of guitar ever
Eli Winkle I agree, it was pretty badass!
Unreal
Especially with that wah pedal
Yes it was, Eli. Yes it was.
OMG I THOUGHT THAT SOUNDED FAMILIAR. no joke those 5 seconds had me crazy, I repeated that part in particular so much, double tapping right after the last note :P
Now kiddies....this is proper music. Genuis led zeppelin....this is my favourite song by them...its flawless
Best band ever. I couldn’t imagine hearing this and dazed and confused in this era! It had to blow people away! It still blows me away 50 years later!
54 years for me. Eight track blasting in my 55 chevy van, an old donut truck I salvaged...
Levi breaks ,black dog ,Moby dick ........
Blown away,lol,,wasn’t the term I’d use,more like hypnotic
Right on bro
I can't understand why alot of the British folks didn't like them in this era. I also heard Hendrix thought they were crap
So fortunate to have grown up during a time when we heard this playing on the radio, on someone's record player or in the tape deck of our cars. This is about as pure as you can get. No lights, fireworks, video screen, crazy costumes, makeup... just massive talent.
Robert DeMilo Absolutely agree with you such a great statement you have made totally agree keep on rockin still stick to my blues thank you all
There with you.
Greatest rock band of all time and no one will ever come close!!!
100%

I completely agree. They're phenomenal.
You damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you said 2 mouthfuls bro!!

Just saw Robert Plant in Austin, on tour with Alison Krause. He sounds just as good now as he ever did. And they did 3 Zep songs. I’m not ashamed to admit I had tears streaming down my face the whole show!
i would’ve been doin the same right there with ya!
INDEED!
I saw them in Washington State. I’ve seen him 4 times. I loved the new rendition he did of When the Levee Breaks. It was Amazing!
my dada says he sold his soul
I luv Zep's "Rock and Roll", RP's bluegrass version has it's own soaring energy. Could you tell us the other two Zep songs played at the concert?
Speechless... the crowd was on a total trance witnessing the best hard rock and roll ever made!!!
Can you blame them?
As a boy I looked up to these guys as men of rock with their long hair and beards. As an old man now I look back at this video and think that they were extremely talented boys. Age changes context so much. Led Zeppelin only made one tour of Australia, however I was fortunate enough to see Robert
Plant solo twice in the 80's. To this day the power of his voice still dominates my musical memories.
Zep is my moms favorite band, and was mine for a number of my younger years. No matter how much music I listen to, no matter who may be my favorite at any given time, the mighty Led Zeppelin will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.
As it should be … your momma taught you well! you will find yourself down the road, maybe your children or whoever’s talking about Zeppelin as if you grew up with them, which you did, pass it on!!!
I raised my only son on Zep. He later developed his own preferences and style, but he knows his basic musical education was right here!
If they planned it like that, you would surely never know... Just pure, raw, unadulterated talent! Unbelievable performance!
The kids in the audience had no idea what they were about to witness! They were awestruck....Zeppelin was way ahead of their time!
How many more times can I watch this video? Infinity
Now classic music like Bethoven eternity
This is Led Zep in its purest form. Can't imagine being in that room what that must have been like.
It was awesome!
They look gobsmacked
They were dumbstruck with awe.
"Oh Rosie, oh girl", classic! There'll never be a band this good again.
Is anyone else obsessed with how Jimmy leads Bonzo in by flicking his arm at 1:05 as I am? It looks so badass to me. Truly such an in-sync live band.

Bonzo cracking a smile at 1:34 when Jimmy nailed that fill is pure gold. He was like "yeah, we're going somewhere with this"
This is the most incredible sound I have ever heard. Jimmys guitar fuzz is like a spell was cast. I laughed out loud and got chills. Unreal physical effect sound has on a human...
Oh yes, physical affects such as goosebumps, hair standing up and down your arms, chills, headrush, adrenaline spikes! More than physical but also emotional. Happy to sad, content to confusion, get up and go to gone and went, love to hate. Soothes the soul for anyone willing
Like the "chills part". I00% best example if you a rocker and RESPECT.
Yep. Sound is incredible

After all that is Led Zeppelin, to see Page be interviewed and that he does not use swear words in every sentence is quite refreshing. His true love for music and respect for other musicians just enhances his legacy. He is the undisputed (at least by normal people) GOAT and is polite and humble!
Everything he says when speaking of music is just so methodical. He glided thru interviews. And his music knowledge is unparalleled to anyone. I think he’s even above his doctrine. I’m not quite sure anyone knows more when it comes to music theory.
If he's GOAT then it's gotta be a good thing. Rock on out.
