  • that harpsichord adds such an eery presence to this version.

  • fantastic!!!!!!!!!

  • How does John Paul Jones add that harpsichord to this tract? And who's idea was it his or Pages? Or better yet who thought of it him or Jimmy? Very intriguing to me. Thanks very much I thought I heard it all.

  • i should have been there the best

  • sucks

  • Amazing. Thats all i can say about this.

  • god this is so good, thumbs up if you're on a cloud

  • BETTER THAN  THE ORGINAL....

  • I'm almost positive that I like this version better than the original.

  • Bonham's playing is as recognizable to me as any voice 

  • God this is wonderful...gracias

  • Pretty good, although I do prefer the original more.

  • 11 people need their asses kicked. How else can you put it? Putting your thumbs down to genius means you don't deserve thumbs.

  • Killer version of In the Light...dig it!

  • WAITT, whats proverbs 14:4? can someone look it up and tell me.?

  • @217trevino "The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself."

  • @217trevino Dust off the Good Book, son! ;) I like the New Living Translation the best. "Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest."

    Trying to wrap my mind around it now actually. Is it about strength? Does it mean you have to put up with some mess to reap results? Or all of this and more?

  • I want to learn the guitar part. -__-. fml, it's nowhere.

  • @217trevino try and learn it by ear :)

  • @217trevino ultimate-guitar

  • this is better then the one they put out...wow fucking great...

  • so beautiful!!!

  • bad the sound but fuckin magic version!! thanks for post

  • and btw, this is proof that john paul is god.

  • i love all these alternate versions of this song! like "in the morning". thanks so much for posting!

  • This video deserves to go to fucking Sundance, so cool man. My everlasting gratitude for posting.

  • So is the intro played from a harpsicord or a guitar with some kind of compressed tone?

  • ti me this is just another Zeppelin song to listen to, love the original,and glad to have it made, but this is just a different song altogether. 5 *

  • fucking magic

  • why did they lose the riff? I like it

  • This is much better than final studio version. Beautifull!!!

  • better the finished one, but good overall

  • This is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. This version right here. It's so fragile and beautiful, but so powerful and a little creepy/frightening. There's something supernatural here. No question about it. In just 7plus minutes - well actually by the first minute alone - this confirms my lifelong love for Led Zeppelin. It confirms my faith.

  • This is amazing.

  • beginning reminds me of bagpuss

  • @horse69outside i'd like to bag your puss

  • There was something dark, mystical, and undeniably magnetic about everything this band produced in the studio. As raw as this is, I like it even more than the polished and pretty version on PG. It is beautiful, and I include PG in my desert island albums - only I hope it is a special edition which includes this version (and any other outtakes)

  • I like that alternate intro better that the official release! Awesome!!

  • god this is fucking Godly. listening to this puts me a state of pure ecstasy. no other band can do that

  • This is almost a benzo :]

  • Why isn't this on an album?!

  • fucking awesome

  • thi s is great!!  favorite album all time! top 5 zep tunes too! tight but loose? this IS TIGHT!!

  • Dios, es brutal!!

  • One thing is for sure, Bonzo's drums never sounded better in the studio than on PG!

  • as fucking awesome as it, i understand why they ditched the piano line (which is really the only MAJOR difference). It's just a bit too much going on. It's a great fuckin line, but it's just too much on top of jimmy's line during the verse, bonzo's thump, and robert trying to convey his thoughts through voice

  • @Kashmir0109 what ? What's the point between picasso and led zeppelin, seriously ?

    What i meant is that this music took a radically different way from the classical music way, just like "do what thou wilt" was the opposite way from the old religions' ideas. And everybody knows the Jimmy Page had great interest into Crowley's work.

    Plus, I'm just kidding because the reference to picasso just didn't sound good enough to me. Led zep awesome, that's it

  • @trojanlol They are more relevant to us than picasso

  • i agree - physical graffiti is one of the two or three best release in the history of music - alternate takes are just sweet(sweet mama!) icing. Always loved how this entire album is heavy as shit, from custard pie all the way through.

  • so weird it's almost residents-ish

  • This is very creepy (in a good way) and Bonham kicks bottom as usual. Lovely stuff.

  • It's kick ass and ball sack

  • the best band in world.

  • This is Zeppelin at their best. I love this version.

  • cool.....

  • Um... at 4:40 - "Dream On, Dream On" - sound a bit like an Aerosmith song from 2 years before...?

  • @morganfjp No...not really. I'm not even sure he said dream on, sounded quite a bit more like sweep on...

  • @ECHO1NINER I think it sounds a little more like "Sweet ma! sweet ma! Im coming home." Definately not "dream on, dream on."

  • @dinkydao Yeah that sounds right.

  • @morganfjp Sounds like he's saying "sweet momma" or something similar. It's definitely not "dream on." Not to say Led Zeppelin hasn't been accused of plagarism, but I don't see it here.

  • Led Zeppelin is to music what Picasso is to painting..

  • @Amppurulaa if you mean they're both great, yeah, but there is actually no link. Led Zeppelin is to classical music what Crowley is the orthodoxy ^^

  • @Amppurulaa I am not sure really, if Led Zeppelin can be compared to anything or anyone, exept of Earth or the Universe perhaps.

  • @Amppurulaa I would go as far to say that the collections of albums they made are comparable to the many paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. (And yes, I know Picasso didn't paint the Sistine Chapel)

  • this is bloody amazing Robert sound so fantastic

  • I wish to God I didn't have to trail through pages of unrelated comments just to read other peoples opinions on this incredible alt. version. Love to you for posting.

  • and i never said it wasn't a likeable song, i'm sure a lot of people like it genuinely; the only thing i said is that despite that, it's not a masterpiece like other LZ songs

  • led zeppelin is for people who are beyond all of that, and who may have some valid (however small) criticisms about their art. without being flamed to no end by mindless drones!

    who are also hypocritical in a million ways! most of the people defending hot dog would never actually listen to a country song in their life!!!

  • that's right, for the record 0adireita YOU were the troll just now in our exchange, i was actually contributing new ideas and you were just repeating the same thing over and over and shutting your eyes. all of this with the goal of stifling my discent!!

    i will not tolerate this kind of mindless adoration in regard to led zeppelin. if you want to adore an image, disregarding what they play is welcome to go listen to punk and punkrock music, put a tie on, or get the bieber haircut

  • never thought there would be a day to dislike a led zep song.

    god have mercy on us all.

  • never thought there would be a day to dislike a led zep song.

    god have mercy on us all.

  • Amazing song. I like this more than the original version, bun I can't still find the lyrics for this version of the song

  • whoa, don't nobody leave me alone listening to this version.

  • Way, way, way darker than the Physical.. version. Absolutely love it.

  • this is kinda creepy even creepier than the real version

  • i like every piece of music of these four genies , because i think i m the biggest zephead on this planet

    great !!

  • @ThrashRoC I always feelt like I'm the biggest zep fan

  • hey, can u make this an mp3? must download

  • LED ZEPPELIN is the BAND

  • LED ZEPPELIN is the BAND

  • just to clarify i meant shit like the stuff yngwie malmsteen (or however he's called) plays, without any soul and fast like hell. zero emotion

  • @mazdaplz Please shut the fuck up and take your arguments off this video. Im here to listen without having to read your shite.

  • @SwanSongRecords

    you're going to read it anyway fuckface, i'm posting whatever the fuck i want

  • @mazdaplz Because thats the reply of a zep fan.

  • @SwanSongRecords

    i don't know what the reply of a zepp fan is, i don't give a shit

    what do you think i spend my time looking at zeppelin fans to know how to act? how stupid

  • and dont come saying i'm calling zepp's songs shit, i know you'd like to troll me like that, but go fuck yourself- you know what i said

  • CHILLS!! At the intro SO CREEPY......... But so AWESOME

  • Sounds to me like a rehearsal version - they've changed it a lot, plus Page's guitar is a bit rough in places - perhaps still working it out? Also the recording is not full studio quality, drums a bit distant, definitely not mastered.

    So fascinating to hear a previous version of one of my favourite songs of all time - the masters at work. Superb post, thanks.

    Also agree with previous comments re general awesomeness of this band & album.

  • rocky likes steamed asparagus

  • freaky led zeppelin song

  • best

  • physical grafiti has some madd songs f***k**g great

  • where is this from???

  • When I hear the begining of this I think of the doors Soft parade.

  • I have been struggling for the majority of my life to find a Zeppelin song that I can't listen to over and over. Still haven't found one.

  • @dahuterschuter

    how about hot dog? that one's pretty bad

    also hats off to roy harper is not the best

    most of their songs are true masterpieces though

  • @mazdaplz i heard hot dog was made to make fun of country and i hate the sound they had on roy harper

  • @mazdaplz you are definitely NOT a musician. Hot dog & Hats off are easy to play? They are not a amazing addition to the Zepp playlists? K then you CAN'T hear it huh

  • @zeppman80

    lol, i didn't say i was a musician and i didn't say hot dog was easy to play, you're just putting words in my mouth. what's your point? the general concensus is that they're not the best zepp songs, last time i checked. if you like them that's great buddy, some people even like fucking dead people! go figure, but go tell it to someone who gives a rat's ass, by the way you seem to think the more difficult the song the better it sounds, which is bogus you can play shit real fast

  • @mazdaplz is there anybody out there that gives a fuk what your ignorant opinion is? you obviously have no taste in music. Why don't you just go make comments on miley's videos since that is prob ur kind of music. u've admitted only liking the mainstream b.s. I feel bad for ur parents. They prob cry at nite. hahaha

  • @mortonrainey31

    sorry i couldn't be bothered with this shit before,

    my opinion is just an opinion, your opinion is also worthless, so go insert a chill suppository; if you don't agree with me awesome post your shit, but don't go acting like you're all of a sudden someone important because you like hot dog, that's the most pathetic thing i ever read

    i admitted what? when?

    my parents cry at night... yeah, that's sooooo funny bro!, you should do standup!

  • @mazdaplz fucking faggot

  • Comment removed

  • @zeppman80

    you want to suck me off? queer?

    it fills me with joy to see how furious you get when someone doesn't like a song, I THINK HOT DOG FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!!

    what are you gonna do about it? hahahahahahahahahahaha

    do you do this everytime? i think my cousin throws tantrums like that at age 6

    oh by the way i don't share your enthusiasm for sucking cocks, matter of fact if you have a younger sister you can send her my way so i can fill up her snatch with my load. ;)

    have a nice day!

  • @mazdaplz shut up troll

  • @zeppman80 don't feed trolls!

  • @0adireita

    SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    i am not trolling this video, i said another song unrelated to this one sucks.

    i am a zeppelin fan i think 98% of their songs are absolute masterpieces, but i think 2 of their songs SUCK! now if you don't think im a zeppelin fan for not agreeing 100% and having a mind of my own then go fuck yourself poser!

    the reason i don't like hot dog is because it's inspired by country music and it's for inbred tossers, similar story on hats off to roy harper

  • @mazdaplz again...shut up troll....

  • @0adireita

    so i am guessing you spark your doobies to "lucifer rising" lp by jimmy page right? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. it's nonsensical to like everything a person makes just because it's them, that's called being a fucking idiot

  • @mazdaplz i'm not even reading what your writing....SHUT UP TROLL! led is led, if you don't like 1% of them you don't like them...gtfo SHUT UP TROLL

  • @0adireita

    hahahaha someday you will thank me for teaching you critical thinking, and how not to be a sheep. you haven't grasped the lesson today my son, get back to me in 10 years or so

  • "if you don't like 1% then you don't like it at all"

    this is a variation of the no true scottsman fallacy, you are simply not thinking.

    it's well documented, you can look it up

  • @mazdaplz HOLY FUCKING BORING! SHUT UP TROLL!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGG!

  • @0adireita

    i know it hurts for you to try to use your brain, but please try to keep up. this is meant as a conversation ergo the response feature. otherwise don't fucking post at all and stfu

  • @mazdaplz JEZZ WON'T YOU SHUT UP TROLL?

  • "if you don't like 1% then you don't like it at all"

    try to justify that stupid shit and i will

  • @0adireita

    it seems to me you're coming down with fanboy syndrome and i don't take orders, or even suggestions, from fanboys who like something just because it's the cool thing to do

  • @mazdaplz when are you going to learn that the internet is not for you little troll!

  • @0adireita

    says the fanboy.

    anyone who is not a fanboy is a troll in your mind. it's pathetic!!!!!

  • @mazdaplz OK YOU WON TROLL IMAOUTA! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP...

  • @0adireita

    no... SEE?? why are you being stupid?? i explained i was not a troll. and how you're pathetic for thinking that way in black or white (absolutes).

    still being an idiot much? let's start netmeeting whiteboard

  • Comment removed

  • way better than the original

  • @JadiesLover I know it's a subjective thing, but this is nowhere near as good as the album version.

  • The beginning of this song is a riff that they had been jammin in the studio and recorded it..but with no plans of release..The only reason I know this is because of an interview I read with Jimmy Page in a book or guitar magazine or something.......We are your Overlords

  • Zeppelin changed and made so much history in music It will never happen again.Not like they did it

  • it's ridiculous that they wrote so many incredible songs, pretty long songs aswell in comparison to the average. plus all the "alternative versions" sound completely different to the studio releases. i struggle to play guitar but somehow jimmy page had the skill and mind to come up with the incredible riffs that he did. and no other band since has been as diverse with their material. rush have done alot but for me it doesn't even compare.

  • really awesome song!! wish I had it on vinyl

  • Where is this alternate version available? Any advice? This is actually my favorite version of this song ...wish i could find this version (maybe even remastered?) to buy and download (probably too much to ask, huh?).

  • bout time time hear somthin different from these old sags.... page is a hoarder

  • SUPER!!!

  • very nicely done thanks for this post!

  • this version and the album are both awesome. I don't understand people saying this is better than the album version, I find them quite different. album version is like going to heaven and this is like going to a dark forest

  • @JohnEricParramone i like them both but i think jimmy page made the right choice on which to put in the album, same with all the others that have alternative versions. the studios ones just sound more commercially pleasing, you need a certain taste to enjoy this

  • this is like a completely different song from the original, but i still like the original more, its more spacey

  • This is how the drums should've sounded on the album version. BONZO!

  • john paul jones is a fucking genius !..zep and this version rules !

  • better then the original. true story.

  • @billaaaayyyy Not better or worse, but more mysterious and different

  • cool....love Roberts voice ♥

  • I love this! Thanks for sharing it bro.

  • English men know how to play music !

  • wow this is spooky i love it

  • I wonder if I could find this version on Limewire?

  • @pencon61 check out youtube to mp3 converter search on google

  • @pencon61 bee mp3 

  • @pencon61 they are all studio versions :(

  • very cool version fookin awesome

  • just perfect.......that is how it should have been recorded...and i can hear the cuts.

  • this alternate version is incredible, spooky, but incredible

  • It's such a shame these God's were too complex to do live. There was SO many songs I wish I could have seen live that they just couldn't do. This, Fool in the Rain, and so many others.

  • I find this spine-tingling in the sense of inspiration.

    I just can't get enough. Zeppelin's my drug of choice.

  • In my opionion, Physical Graffiti is the greatest album ever put together.

  • @Yankeedant I concur.

  • Led Zep forever!

  • Golden!

  • just the fact that you got this from a friend, from a friend, from a friend, who met some in a dark alley in turkey makes it epic

  • They are truly the dark lords. Thanks for that.

  • I'm not sure which is darker, this version or the final album version. I like this very much, a great version of one of my favourite Zep songs.

  • This video is the BOMB!!!  Thanks for posting!

  • I like this version better than the album version. Especially the first part, it's so haunting.

  • the harpsichord part reminds me so much of the doors

  • @trogdorox the harpsichord? wats that?

  • I remember seeing one of their jets parked at O'hare Int. in 77

  • the begining is so dark then boom just a great recording best band ever

  • hot ,,,,,,,,

  • When and where was this recorded and why the hell have I never heard this before? Friggin Zeppelin, love these guys! This is amazing and the creepyness definitely promotes that 70s reputation of rock bands being ocult, satanic and into Aleister Crowley. That's all I ever heard growing up. Leave it to John Paul Jones to create this sound!

  • omfg - where did you find this?

    i'm a self-proclaimed zep fanatic,

    and i'm creamin' in my jeans over this one !!

    thanks for makin a mess!!

  • beautiful

  • Any chance the mp3 is available for download?

  • down load a program called any vidoe converter, lets you stip the vido and make mp3's or wma"s.

  • for some reason i feel like if "babe im gonna leave you" and "in the light" had a baby, this version would be it lol they could call it im gonne leave you in the light, or something

  • The happier part is absolutely beautiful. then the creepy part that it leads into is mindblowing! its like the strangest combination but it is perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Is this in A minor? Reminds me of stairway.
