Jimmy was already a rockstar. He was a much called for guitar session player in all the studios in London. He had just left the band the Yardbirds and formed the new Yardbirds, which became Led Zeppelin. Basically it was Jimmy’s band, he put them all together, wrote most of the songs with Robert, arranged, and more importantly, produced all the albums.
As far as writing most of the songs, that was definitely true for the first album and less true for the second and by the third, everyone was contributing equally
@@John_Locke_108 Everybody influences everybody else - no Hendrix or Cream etc = no Zeppelin. Nobody sounded like King Crimson in 1969. "21st Century Schizoid Man" was more of a departure than Zep (I prefer Zep to KC). Yet Fripp is open and honest about his influences,
@@alfonslemel5745 ehh , i feel zep was different then those , clapton and page were more contemporary"s , both being the yardbirds Hendrix was probably the hardest thing at the time , i just think zep was different for that time , on another level in many ways , like Bonham"s playing in good time bad times
JPJ always gets overlooked by reviewers . He is the best ever bass player !!! He is a multi musician. Give him anything, he could probably play it. He now writes film scores.
@@robertranger6612 YES! I won't hyperbolize and say he was the best rock bassist (super solid though), but he added so much to the band. The Lemon Song and Achilles Last Stand really showcase his bass skills.
I saw them live Pink Floyd live Rolling Stones, Queen, but only one sounded better live than their albums and it wasn't Zepplin. Pink Floyd was the best I saw live but I guess it's who you like.
This is one of the all time historic music videos ever. You can see, feel and taste the power, confidence and talent in the preformence. Truly fantastic
I have seen this SOOO many times. One of th things I love is that these kids had never heard anything like this before and had no idea where this band was going.
And just one year later at the Royal Albert Hall, they turned this masterpiece into a 20-minute masterpiece and played that show like they've been touring together for decades! The transition from this to the RAH show is astounding - and not only bc it's in color. 😂🤘🤘
Every Led Zeppelin show seems to be unique. At one point I had around 40 different live shows and they almost never played songs the same way. Particularly their early shows. Those half the time they were playing different medleys, and jamming out
The people in that audience must have been blown away by this performance! Unlike anything they’d ever seen before, I have to imagine. The birth of hard rock 🤘
This early Led Zep is amazing. I love Robert’s voice here. Deep, raw, soulful, outstanding. Jimmy doing his guitar wizard, Bonzo beating the heck out of those drums, and JPJ holding it all together with excellent bass. I watch this four song set often. To hear “Let me introduce Led Zeppelin to you.” Gives me chills. I’ve been a fan since 1969.
@@snakeinthegrass7443 Well, Zepplin was basically another new Yardbirds. I was very young and heavy into Cream. Zeppelin of course took it to another level, with better songs.
They still would have been huge. I. Mean the Beatles were still around but it didn't stop them from reaching the pinnacle. Led Zeppelin II knocked Abbey Road off the top of the album charts.
I find it funny that so many people went after Led Zeppelin for stealing old and forgotten songs from ages ago. If Zeppelin didn’t remake them nobody would Ever Hear of them. Plus Zeppelin did those old blues songs a million times better than the originals 😅
There was an incredible amount of jealousy of LZ. To this day, Keith Richards trashes them! Same with the pedo from the Who. Lol I literally can't remember his name. LZ has never, ever responded. That's class!!!!! When you're better than everyone else, there's no need.
@@jaynethomas7380bruh ya know Robert and page both had underrage groupies(13/14). Page literally had a 14 year old girlfriend when he was in his late 20s.
Look at all the 19 year olds around today , its just unbelievable that Robert Plant could sing like that at that age,with such confidence as well. Goat
I was ten years old in '69 near the end of the psychedelic era and this came around the same time as Hendrix and others, huge change in music from the fifties / sixties - still have my first zeppelin album
But keep in mind, though this is one of the first times Led Zeppelin is together, Jimmy was using the bow several years earlier while in the Yardbirds, and Plant and Bonham weren’t just picking up their instruments that year but had been playing in pubs for almost 5 years together as the Band of Joy. As well, JPJ is already an accomplished studio musician along with Jimmy for the previous several years. They are all masters of on the spot, on the fly innovation and masters of their instruments. They have all these dynamics worked out before hand; the crescendos, the boleros, the quieting, the “all join in”. They are signaling each other like mad throughout this performance, watching intently and winking at each other to prompt the next movement from each other with JPJ and Bonham laying down their rock steady undercurrent for Plant and Page to dance across with Lyric and Lead.
I think this mini show of like 4 songs was before the album came out overseas, it was released in the US on January 12;1969, & 4 months later everywhere else. They weren’t as excepted in England like here in the US. Their first US concert was on December 26, 1968, they played a concert with Vanilla Fudge. Those poor kids watching, weren’t allowed to make any noise, they had to sit there & be quiet. Plant & Bonham we’re both 20 JPJ 23 & Page 24, JPJ & Page both born in January, so maybe a year older at this time. They had their first practice on August 19,1968, the day before Plants 20th birthday, in a few months they accomplished so much, Plant doesn’t quite have his confidence here yet. Thanks for your reaction & keep reaching to Led Zeppelin.
YAY YAY YAY!!! i **LUV** this performance so so so MUCH!!! cuz it is like when they were basically 1st starting out! just **KickAss** **Incredible** Thank YOU ever so for doing this!!!
I guess this sounds fresh if you are hearing it for the first time. Led Zeppelin's name came from a comment made by Keith Moon of The Who, who once said the band would go down like a lead balloon. I guess that didn't happen.😉
Hey Guys, thanks again for the Great Review & Reactions!!😎🙌Blues, Indeed. Oh Yes, I think it is really an Homage & Tribute that Highlights their Bluesy-Rock Roots and features that are "Quintessentially Zeppelin." Speaking of Music, I just Happen to Live Nashville, Tennessee, Music City USA! So I would personally describe the Whole Song by Robert Plant basically as "a Broad but Playful Exercise in Sexual-Swagger A.K.A.*Rock-Swagger!*" The Song Title & Plant's vocals reference Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years" (1951), as well as other songs by blues musicians he admired at the time of recording. "The Hunter" is one of Bluesman Albert King's best-known and most-recorded songs. The song was recorded on June 9, 1967, at the Stax Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee. Now the "Rosie" & "Hunter" components of the song came spontaneously to the group on the night of the recording session. It is also only one of three Led Zeppelin songs on which Page ever used "Bowed Guitar!" Jimmy Page stated that the song "was made up of little pieces I developed early when he was with the Yardbirds, as were other numbers such as 'Dazed and Confused.' "The Hunter" was recorded by bluesman Albert King with Booker T & the MGsand was written by Carl Wells and the members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s in 1967. "The Hunter" is a mid-tempo twenty-four bar blues in the Key of A. Although the music reflects more modern trends in blues, the lyrics contain some of the Sexual Swagger of the Blues verses of Willie Dixon wrote for Muddy Waters ingge the 1950s:- "They call me the hunter, that's my name A pretty woman like you, is my only game I bought me a Love Gun, just the other day And I aim to aim it your way Ain't no use to hide, ain't no use to run 'Cause I've got you in the sights of my Love Gun!" Note: The song provided a lyrical conceit Kiss could use to more profitable years later." Because the idea for the 1977 Kiss song "Love Gun" also came from Bluesman King's song "The Hunter."It was first released on Albert King's 1967 album, Born Under a Bad Sign, which "became one of the most popular and influential blues albums of the late '60s." BTW, I too Loved Bonham's Drumming & Plant's Vocals too.😁👌
In an interview with Jimmy Page he said that Bonzo lost jobs because he hit the drums so hard. Jimmy smiled and said, we just got bigger, louder amplifiers.♥️
This is probably the best video of this song. These ppl have no idea wat they experienceing but they will tell there kids and grand kids about seeing them live for the rest of there life
I love the way Samantha dances to the different songs. So glad I found this channel. Love all of the different types of music you discover. Love you both ❤❤❤. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸
That's how we used to roll back in the day. No artificial crutches, no autotune, just energy and talent. And a hell of a lot of time spent and honing your craft.
Great reaction! I've been hoping to see a reaction video of this version of this song for a long time! Actually, the whole concert that this version was from was just amazing!
This video makes me think of 2 things. How the Muppet Animal was based off the drummers John Bonham, Keith Moon, and Ginger Baker. You can really see the influence Jonh Bonham had. Second, the audience reminds me of the Back to the Future scene, "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it." If you've seen it, you'll understand. Led Zeppelin was ahead of its time.
I recommend checking out the other songs at this concert. The band do 3 others before this one. Communication Breakdown, Dazed And Confused, and Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You. All from this concert/performance at Danmarks Radio!
YAY Thank YOU Steven for driving them nuts to get this reaction! These are some of my MOST **Treasured** performances cuz it is from when they were just starting out basically just **KickAss** & **Beautiful** Thank You once again!!! **RockON!!!** **Best Band EVER!!! to ma anyway
I was getting ready to go out the door to get my vehicle inspected and I had to put on my brakes for this one.. Studio Version audio is far more vivid I would say
This a landmark performance. I've seen it countless times going back to the 90s. I think there was a documentary that MTV did when No Quarter came out. And it included footage of this. Anybody else remember that? Can't think of any other way I would have seen this back around '95.
John Bonham used a common technique of the time that was called a "rim shot" on the snare. The steel ring securing the drum head is struck with the base of the stick while the tip strikes the snare head. It produces the pop or ring on top of the drum head sound. Drummers used it in the early days to make themselves heard above the increasing loud guitar amps being developed. Its very distinctive when you strike a rim shot. Not to be confused with a "cross stick" used in reggae where its layed across the drum head
How fun is that? I've only seen that a few times but it's fascinating. And when Jimmy Page breaks out the bow on the guitar, it would already be so super cool especially for that early in time, like performance art, just to do it at all. But if you listen closely to what he does, it's really high level musicianship. Especially near the end of it. It's astonishingly tight. He's not just randomly whacking around. Although he gets off that impression, laugh.
Check out LED Zepplin Big Log. Never had heard this song until a few months ago. I’m 73 and it’s one of my new favs !!!!!! Don’t know how I missed this !
I'm wondering what's going to happen. Are the alrighty fans spray? Where's my boogie BOOGI? A and my buggy shoes. I'm gonna have a mouth. All right. Question mark I shoes. I got. I don't know if I was bookie boogie shoes. I'm gonna be doing a top dance. I'm gonna wipe your old woman up wake up.A old OLD old lady.Aren't worth my doing my dines?I ain't gonna have nothing on just those shoes s h l a s says buggy b 00 g I a buggy shoes
All my women's always been on the t.R ISH y on the trash.Saw it, it's pretty popular, though.They got a video for Trisha.Trisha's a song and the video is wonderful.The confrontarot railroad.I do try shit but so do I😅😅😅😅😅😊
One of my faves, that is way underplayed/heard. I think Jimmy was 25 here and John Paul Jones around the same a bit younger 23 maybe, with Robert and John the young ones 19-20ish. "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play"! There IS an Interlude in the middle of this song, Sam. This song is worth a studio listen, for sure, even on your own while lifting. Thanks, Great Tunes!!
The played with so much more abandon and passion the first year or so than later. They got more professional, but gambled less and balanced themselves. This is truly amazing.
Page began his career as a studio session musician in London and, by the mid-1960s, alongside Big Jim Sullivan, was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Britain. He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968. When the Yardbirds broke up, he founded Led Zeppelin, which was active from 1968 to 1980. Following the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
Did you see I've been waiting close to 2 months for this to go through the youtube gauntlet and I look and see how many reactors did it at the same time unbelievable...
Improv at its best they just had a chemistry that couldn’t be beat, Jimmy used that bow in their movie The Song Remains the Same came out in the 70s. Later y’all.❤️😎🇺🇸
Jimmy page had already been introduced to the world most recently through the Yardbirds and prior to that he was a top session musician in London and he’s on countless top selling prior to the Yardbirds. So was John Paul Jones.
It should be noted that this song is a rocked-up remake of Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all-time, but I feel like people overstate how original they were.
This still remains a freaking Killer performance 55 years later
Yer not wrong, squire
Jimmy was already a rockstar. He was a much called for guitar session player in all the studios in London. He had just left the band the Yardbirds and formed the new Yardbirds, which became Led Zeppelin. Basically it was Jimmy’s band, he put them all together, wrote most of the songs with Robert, arranged, and more importantly, produced all the albums.
JPJ was a sought after session musician too! Jones also was an arranger.
Robert brought in Bonzo they were close school friends
The thing that makes them so extraordinary is there were no passengers in Zeppelin.
As far as writing most of the songs, that was definitely true for the first album and less true for the second and by the third, everyone was contributing equally
The glorious infancy of the Mighty Led Zeppelin.
in 1969 , no one sounded like this , the birth of heavy rock
And yet the critics dismissed them as a Cream clone. Lol.
Blue Cheer, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly were all before Zeppelin.
@@edsmith3461-z7m Yeah but Zeppelin was still different. Those bands had a similar sound but nothing like Zep.
@@John_Locke_108

Who else has the guts and talent to improvise on LIVE TV!!!
Exactly! Out of the gate nearly!
On European TV especially German it was expected. There are some astonishing clips of Deep Purple Black Sabbath etc absolutely wailing away
@glenchapman3899
This was early 1969. Way before Purple was Purple and Sabbath was Sabbath.
There will never be any band like this!
Here for any Led Zeppelin!!
Llego, Pego' y se quedo para la éternidad ( a diferencia de...)😊
Yeah, he beats those drums like they owe him money.
He broke Bill Wards drum kit so Bill would not let him use it again, the one and only Bonzo!
This was before he got his Ludwig set, with the bigger sized drums.
@@vicprovost2561yes I think that’s a funny story.
Great line..!! 😂🎵🎶🥁💖
John kept knocking holes in the heads he hit so hard.
Zepp was the greatest band in the world bar none .
I saw them live Pink Floyd live Rolling Stones, Queen, but only one sounded better live than their albums and it wasn't Zepplin. Pink Floyd was the best I saw live but I guess it's who you like.

Possibly the greatest collection of musicians
It pretty much is. They all
4 were in the top 10 of their respective instrument.
@@danielgerald4551… and a slew of instruments in Jonesy’s case!
@@danielgerald4551Top 5 if not Top 3.
I have seen this SOOO many times. One of th things I love is that these kids had never heard anything like this before and had no idea where this band was going.
They were the band’s virgin audience & had no idea how seminal LZ would be!
Well, how many more times ???
And this my friends is just another prime example of why they are called the "Mighty Zep"
And they all were all between 20-25 years old at the time. Amazing.

@@jaynethomas7380bruh ya know Robert and page both had underrage groupies(13/14). Page literally had a 14 year old girlfriend when he was in his late 20s.

Look at all the 19 year olds around today , its just unbelievable that Robert Plant could sing like that at that age,with such confidence as well. Goat
yep today the young people for the most part are lost
Great choice to review since it's so raw and full of ZepEnergy. This is the original shit, man.
Page was already famous by this point, he was a seasoned session guitarist appearing on many hits for others and was in the Yardbirds.
I was ten years old in '69 near the end of the psychedelic era and this came around the same time as Hendrix and others, huge change in music from the fifties / sixties - still have my first zeppelin album
The greatest rock band of all time.
#1 Band of all times seen them in 1973 man got so high lol
no other band will ever get to this level.....................period!

I'm 70 and never saw this performance. Judging from this audition, they just might have a future.
Great tune! The studio version is worth a listen as well.
This is a most perfect performance
Holy Jam Session and bringing future Led Zepplin songs in the Jam (Applause)
THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME ✌💖☮
YAY Thank you I hope you enjoy 😍
So young and so so talented
Jimmy was well known from The Yardbirds before Led Zeppelin. As a matter of fact, Zeppelin was originally called The New Yardbirds.

Love Page's Smokestack Lightnin' intro!
Imagine being front row in that crowd not knowing the future legends you are witnessing. Nobody would believe them if they re told the story today.
Sin ninguna duda son la mejor banda de todos los tiempos
I saw them in January 1969. Fillmore West....blew me away.
I saw them in Miami around 69-70 and they were amazing live.
More people need to react to this. Incredible. Good job you two 👏
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
The bow thing originated in Jimmy’s session days, when a violinist suggested he try using a violin bow on his electric guitar.

Good version lots of energy! Thanks
You have to check out, Dazed and Confused live in London, and I Can't Quit You Babe, live at Royal Alberts Hall, early raw performances are insane..
One of my faves, that is way underplayed/heard. I think Jimmy was 25 here and John Paul Jones around the same a bit younger 23 maybe, with Robert and John the young ones 19-20ish. "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play"! There IS an Interlude in the middle of this song, Sam. This song is worth a studio listen, for sure, even on your own while lifting. Thanks, Great Tunes!!
The played with so much more abandon and passion the first year or so than later. They got more professional, but gambled less and balanced themselves. This is truly amazing.
less than a year before this, Robert and John Bonham were in "Band of Joy", up country while Jimmy and John Paul Jones were looking for a singer.
Page began his career as a studio session musician in London and, by the mid-1960s, alongside Big Jim Sullivan, was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Britain. He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968. When the Yardbirds broke up, he founded Led Zeppelin, which was active from 1968 to 1980. Following the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
This is why you need to watch them live they always sound different.
Danmarks Radio was the name of the Broadcasting Corporation (now just DR) , this is Danish TV.
Did you see I've been waiting close to 2 months for this to go through the youtube gauntlet and I look and see how many reactors did it at the same time unbelievable...
😂
I was 8 years old when this was going on.........I discovered them in 1975.
I get “cool parents” vibes from you guys. 😃
Improv at its best they just had a chemistry that couldn’t be beat, Jimmy used that bow in their movie The Song Remains the Same came out in the 70s. Later y’all.❤️😎🇺🇸
Sounds like they took lessons from Soul/ blues of the late 50's 60's to me !
Jimmy page had already been introduced to the world most recently through the Yardbirds and prior to that he was a top session musician in London and he’s on countless top selling prior to the Yardbirds. So was John Paul Jones.
You guys should do Dazed and Confused live at the Royal Albert Hall 1970!
Jimmy page played around with the Theramin too . That was always cool .
Specially during live performances of Whole Lotta Love.
You should do the studio version now.
It should be noted that this song is a rocked-up remake of Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all-time, but I feel like people overstate how original they were.
The audience was so lucky
