  • Robert Plant playing a guitar solo? I could die now.

  • didnt realize neil young was playin till halfway thru. great show. really enjoyed this

  • CAN SOMEONE SAY NEEEEILLL YOOOOOUNG!

  • @1musicguitarandanime When the Levee Breaks. If you go searching for the album version, it's not going to sound anything like this.

  • What's this song called?

  • Robert Plant is great, but i don't think he'll ever get his voice back like he used to.

  • was neil on somethin'?

  • Jonesy leaving the stage last... and alone. As always. I don't get it why he's always so overlooked. Anyway... I think Neil was great here. That's just the way he jams. He doesn't wanna steal anything. Well if you reach this state you realize there's no room for thinking actually! You completely forget everything and just flow with the music. Happened to me as well couple of times. And Jimmy not soloing.. the true masters don't have to show off. He left all the space for Neil which is cool.

  • Most of the people can say that the magic of Led Zeppelin is gone, but friends, there's no band in the world that wouldn't want to have this perfomance in their catalog

  • i think zeppelins contract with the devil expired

  • Gahhhhh, This song just isn't the same without Bonzo bangin' the shit out of them drums. :(

  • why is neil stealing the spotlight

  • It's commical around 2"44

  • Tuning was optional

    

  • Awesomesauss.

  • neil's playing wasn't nearly as bad as the way he headbangs...

  • NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ROCK N ROLL!!!!

  • Neil Young and Led Zeppelin. Nothing as epic sa this will ever be achieved

  • plant can't sing like he used to, after 1975 i think it was he lost his incredible range to hit those high notes. still an icon though

  • wow neil young destroyed a great zepplin moment all by himself wtf!!!

  • ive lived long enough to see neil and zeppelin together whoever put this on here u are awsome

  • HOLLY SMOKES PLANT PLAYING GUITAR 

  • Page makes love to his guitar. Young rapes his with a ball gag in its mouth and a knife to its throat.

  • @jholmes45 thats probably the best analogy i've ever heard haha. so true. i almost feel sorry for neil's guitar when he's playing. for me though, jimmy page will always be my favourite. he's not the cleanest guitar player but he evokes so many emotions in his playing

  • @jholmes45 This might possibly be the best comment in YouTube history. lol Well done, sir. *bows*

  • MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. Neil Young and Led Zep.

  • Plant has NO reason in the world to even hold a guitar !!!!! think he just felt left out !!!! hahahaha

  • @getthestoneman I know, what the hell was that about haha?

    "Oi, Robert's lookin' left out, fetch 'im a Les Paul."

  • The comments on this video are the quintessential example of why Led Zeppelin fans are considered to be the most annoying narrow-minded fans to ever walk the face of Earth.

  • @jgg87 no those are nirvana fans and metalheads

  • Wow! Nice blend!

  • why exactly does plant have a guitar?

  • This is a blues song, sounds better with the harmonica. 

  • I hope all of you Neil Young haters are just a bunch of teenagers, because you don't know shit.

    First, Page, Plant and Jones wouldn't invite him to play with them if they didn't have a lot of respect and love for him and his music. Second, Neil Young is original and unique player so they are not laughing at him, they're smiling at him. When you hear or see something original, your first reaction is smiling :) And third, he lifted them so that even Plant wanted to play! And Page's enjoying it!

  • @vanjabre Neil Young is a FUCKING LEGEND AND ICON in Rock n Roll I seen him a few years ago with my dad. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen, he is one of my all time heroes.

  • love u led

  • what is the name of this song?

  • @fraenkel97 It's a different version of When the Levee Breaks.

  • I never get tired of listening to this ! Great !

  • Another level !? this sounds like shit to me ! I Love zep but not this sorry

  • Comment removed

  • Hmm.. A few things. Great Led Zeppelin got inducted, but I still think it's one hell of commercial crap (I mean, Madonna and Eminem got inducted - what's the rock and roll part of the hall of fame?) Anyway, Robert Plant's voice obviously got.. 'older'. But why did they have to have 3 guitars? No offense, but when standing next to Jimmy Page, you should be a damn good guitar player, otherwise you will look even more unskilled (to say the least). Page should've taken the lead.

  • Neil young is an old dried up cunt, who owes Page a public apology for monopolizing the stage and making a mockery of the event.....

  • sorry to say.. Neil ruin it, Page does 100x better and Plant 0.5x better. Neil lack of bluesy in his solo.

  • @ 4:12 Page must be saying "What the hell is he doing?"

  • This really, really sucks. They sound like a bad garage band. And, yes, I remember them from the beginning.

  • @Kaalec sad but true

  • What the hell was that, I just watched a Led Zepp cover band that played better than that :~\

  • Holy jeez...Robert Plant should give it up. He now has the vocal range of Harvey Firestein after drinking Drano.

  • i just had an eargasm.

  • neil was (and i suppose still is) a song writer. he never was, nor will ever be in the camp of guitar-gods. Beck, Page, Hendrix,Vaughn and Clapton are there (not necessarily in that order)

  • @guitartornado yr example's would never agree with you christ,are you off w/yr comment.

  • @guitartornado actually you are wrong many consider neil amongst the greatest guitar players.

  • @occupynow Exactly!!

    

  • Legends on the stage there.

  • When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay...

  • radar man....guitar is all about feel and being inspired....what would you have played? a nice scale someone taught you?...Neal is original and plays from the soul. What he does no one else ever did before. Is is notey? No. Is it fast? no. does all that matter in a good solo? hell no. Its all about heart, soul and expression and Neal has that in excess. He is everything that is rock and roll - raw, intense, emotional and out of control. You clearly could learn a lot from him. Go back to school.

  • @facesonmars ok all that from a guy who can't even spell Neil's name...this notes for you!

    The fact remains...I would have left Neil wiping up my sweat! Holy crap he used two notes on one string for his whole solo,altleast that is what it felt like,no I ain't going back to count!

  • never noticed how much JPJ looks like Folgerty...lol Zep rules

  • Neil Young and Led Zeppelin... x_x

  • Neil Young with Led Zeppelin?!?!?!?!?!?! I wish I werent one year old so I could have watched this

  • so what is that thing in the back of the stage, what is it ???????? NWO

  • Uh ... after Jimi Hendrix, it has to be Neil! I mean, in spite of excellent competition (Jeff Beck, even Jimmy Page, etc.) Neil Young has to be the second greatest Rock guitarist ever. Jimmy Page was so proud of Neil, you saw him just smiling and letting Neil do his thing. A modest man, and an excellent guitarist, Jimmy Page! Robert wasn't half bad on guitar either, what a pleasant surprise!

  • Whoa! Neil Young doing Zep! Get outta heah!

  • @54markl Damn! Listen to Neil!

  • THE REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL-REALLLLLLLL­LLLLLLL-BEST-BAND-ALLLLLLLLLLL­-TIMESSSSSSSS-LED ZEPPELINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.-BY.

  • ny what a putz....they shoulda let me jam with him...I ain't no hall of famer but would have left neil wiping up my sweat off the stage.

  • @radairman33 You're delusional. You couldn't get a job cleaning the toilets at this event.

  • @WangXiaojun1974 never said I could Wang, just said I could have easily done better than Neil....but you go on convincing yourself that Neil is a great guitarist,he is a great song writer and performer but he is not no kick ass rock n roll guitar player that deserves to be on stage playing lead for Zep!

  • @radairman33 Fair enough

  • Neil going full retard

  • Fabulous!!!

  • I cant help but wonder what Jimmy and John Paul were thinking. Their smiles crack me up.

  • No solo from jimmy? awww.....

  • theres a hell of a lot going on with the guitars in the front, but john paul jones is just chillin out with his bass. awesome.

  • Neil young should be part of led zeppelin. That wold be the best rock and roll band in the world.

  • It's too bad that people around here don't appreciate Neil Young's solos. He doesn't solo like Jimmy Page for god's sake!!! And he doesn't need to, he has his own peculiar way. Zeppelin has their place in rock history as well as Neil Young. Let's just enjoy this awesome extended version of When The Levee Breaks. Would've been awesome if Jimmy would've done a few solos at least!

  • @lestrob I myself have always appreciated Neil Young's solol's many don't even know he can play like that...it's a shame.

  • who's on drum?

  • @Aiolia1995 The drummer is Michael Lee. He played with Plant and Page through the 90's and also played with numerous other well-known acts. He typically used the Big band style drum kit like Bonham as well. He passed away in 2008 from an epileptic seizure. He was really an incredible drummer in the mold of John Bonham himself.

  • God Neil Young is such a try hard. Let the Led play!!

  • john paul jones keeps grinning at neil youngs spastic guitar soloing..lol

  • neil young wont give page a chance to play, because neil young knows damn well that page will steal the show, hahaha..thats funny

  • God... who's idea was it to let Neil masturbate all over Zeppelin? Dude! Let somebody else solo! Like... I dunno... Jimmy fuckin Page maybe?

  • @ChaosAndLace neil young is as good as jimmi page... its a honor for led zep to play with neil, and for neil too.

  • @ASpanishguy omg that statement makes you look very uninformed....listen to some albums dude.....good grief~!

  • @radairman33 i have listened to both artists enough to talk about them, i dont need you to give me lessons or advices. Everybody thinks they know the truth about music or something like that. In my opinion that comment makes you look very uninformed too, who is wrong then?

  • @ChaosAndLace at least there is two partially sane ppl here,well put!

  • I heard it is drugs that made Robert Plant's voice like that?

  • god what is neil doing there? ouch.

  • Seems like Jimmy Page never gets old.....Hmmmm

  • gods on a stage :')

  • Comment removed

  • 3 people want a levi to break on their house

  • page and plant are loving this...whenever neil is on stage with anyone everything just goes up to a whole higher ,more energetic level......he is awesome....

  • @GREVILLERECORDS11 What? I think that Neil Young was like a clown trying to be a rock star.

  • Is Neil's guitar even plugged in??! wtf was that???? haha!!!!!

  • Great jam but why is Jimmy Page not playing lead?

  • Absolutely awesome rendition.

  • wtf is neil young doing?

  • @rasmus0806 Miracles, miracles... :)

  • Haha looks like some tramp just rocked up and goes "Hey, do you mind if I jam it with you guys?" And they were all too kind like "... um. yeah I guess that's OK, Jimmy?" "Yeah I guess so," "Robert?" "Yeah that's cool," John?" "Fine with me." "Then let's do it!"

  • Neil Young needs to learn to tune his guitar!! The most talentless fuckin guitar player!! I just dont get why people think he is any good?? Neil Young is average at best, just a smidge above Noel Gallagher!!

  • @coltsuperocean10- People like him because he's a great songwriter. Yeah his playing can be pointless noodling or plain bad, but Neil Young's music is good. JImmy Page isn't that great a player to be honest. He's sloppy as hell, watch videos of him playing live in the 70's. But you know what? He could write a better rock song than anybody else on the planet and that's what counts. they're musicians, not douchebag shredders

  • kinda mad that neil stole the show. jimmy should have been doing the solos. you only get to see LED play live ever once in great awhil! its like seeing a unicorn... you only here stories of there live shows. now we get to see one that is very recient.. and Neil just ruinned it. no afence to Neil though. i love that Dudes music. but damn... 

  • jimmy = asian

  • every bodys laughing at neil while why he has a crazy freakout on the guitar. thats jimmys job..

  • any peeps that say bad things dont know what jamming is all about you just go with it and hyave a great jam dont have to be studio right just have fun so all think it is bad they are just losers

    they atre just having fun

  • @satansfang Just because you probably sound like shit when you jam doesn't mean others can't state the obvious about how bad someone else sounds.

  • Don’t know why you guys are all bowing to Led zep... Neil is writing songs that rocks the house down since the seventies, and you can dance meanwhile... But well... it’s only my point of view...and oh! Never seen Pearl Jam performing with Neil ??? You should!!!

  • 4:11 Jimi was gonna solo, but says "fuck it, if Neil wants to hog the show..."

  • I Think neil was supposed to perform after them ...not with them.

  • Jimmy is thinkin what a retard

  • Never understood why people hold Neil Young in such high esteem? As far as I`m concerned he is joe average, at best!! Mr plinky plonky!

  • Hey all you youngsters knocking Neil and Jimmy and what Robert Plant playing a guitar? Hell yes he's a great musician and anyone that knows anything about Zeppelin's live shows know that no two were ever the same, those guys were so tuned to each other they just knew what the other was going to do on a song. Jimmy Page master of improvision hell of a guitarists! zEPPELIN WAS THE GREATEST ALWAYS WILL BE NEVER HAVE BEEN SURPASSED!

  • @pinkzeppelinjam translation..zeppelin is your favorite band. no sure why everyone has the need to get online and call their favorite band the greatest.

  • @pinkzeppelinjam Oo, it must be true because you wrote it in ALL CAPS!

  • Some one should have told Page he was on stage?

  • I thought he Rocked,Palmer,Page,Young!!!!!

  • @LDZPLEN u sure got tht right LMFAO @Neil some1 should've just unplugged his guitar, looks like he's constipated

  • and wait... Buffolo springfeild coming out of Led Zepplin.. i understand that NEils there...a dn its amazing.... oh my jesus chrish monkee balls.

  • a stage of les pauls.... and john.....

  • What the fucking holy crap is robert ... playing .. the .. solo .. what ???!!! im confused

  • Just listen to it without watching the video.. The music speaks for itself!! - It's fucking awesome! Plants voice is a little rough but that's been the case since 1979! - Great version. Neil played the way he always plays, raunchy! I'm sure they practiced and if anyone had a problem with Neil I'm sure it would have come up before the performance... Since when does Robert Plant play guitar tho??

  • Comment removed

  • terrible---what zepplin reunion-- who allowed Neil up there-- REALLY ????

  • I don't think Neil was pretending to be as good a pure guitarist as Page. Led Zeppelin and Neil Young have completely different styles, and both have made massive contributions to the music world, unlike the majority of "performers" today. Personally I love this version of the song, as well as Neil's contribution.

  • Love the look on Jimmy's face at 5:48. Like "what is this jackass doing?"

  • @thebushidoka Hardly, it was more a look of awe. Ok, maybe not awe. But it's ok for them both to be good you know.  It's not Zepp Vs Neil, rather it's a brilliant collaboration.

  • Zep makes Neil look foolish, IMHO! Wow, never saw Robt. Plant play

    with Jimmy on another Les Paul....very cool!

  • Zep makes Neil look foolish, IMHO!

  • Neil young rules! anyone who really says he sucks i mean com'n hes canadas bob dylan really haha, I saw him on the tele yesterday and he was doin some new stuff. the man is awesome and so is led zeppelin. One of my favourite bands of all time along side jimi hendrix, white stripes, queen, and so many others.

  • we all feel like robert,sometime's i just want to play the les paul too.

  • God damn it. Not only do you have neil being a dumbass and hogging the sound waves, but Robert Plant... WHY!?!? Jimmy Page could barely get a note in edgewise.

  • wow, I actually am baffled as to why Neil Young needed to play here, it would have seemed logical for Jimmy to take centre stage as he is the guitarist of the band being inducted, and is clearly much more talented.

  • neil what you smokin???

  • Thank God for Zep in the 70's cuz the 1995 version of the band really sucks ass....

  • PLANT ON GUITAR!!!!!

  • This is proof that after you turn 25 all you creativity goes out the window. I want my money back.

  • that is awful, shamful. I want my money back.

  • everyone says neil youngs soloing sucks its meant to be how it is grungy dirty horrible and neil seems to enjoy it more gets the most out of it

  • Ohh this was just awful. Neil ruined it with his guitar. If he didnt play here this would of been a good performance. And maybe i would of heard jimmy do a solo.

    Love zeppelin theyre the best.

  • ha they are all looking at neil like what the fuck..

  • Boy this is so funny. At 4:10 Jimmy Page quits playing and laughs, this is great but  Neil Young is a mess. Hey all in fun right?

  • Brilliant! Unusual to see Robert Plant playing the guitar.

  • AHAHAAH NEIL LOOKS FUCKING MENTAL!!!

  • I love this version. Rock On Neil! If only John Henry Bonham were there it would be perfect.

  • how the hell does jimmy still look like such a badass on stage??/

  • @hattymccowboy because he is doing the exact opposite of what niel is doing haha

  • HAHA leave neil alone. hes having the time of his life.

  • which song is this?anyone knows?

  • @MrRohant a musical variation of when the levee breaks

  • what is this tune called? im sure its a good one cuz its its zeppelin but i despise neil ...

  • @poopy1239 when the levee breaks, and neil is god aswell

  • oh my days neil murdered it lol

  • Micheal Lee On Drums!!!!

  • never seen Robert with a guitar on stage... I knew that he could play... but never on stage. I think thats one of Jimmy's les pauls too.. I love neil young... but this is painful!

    One thing is for sure.... Jimmy definitely took a back seat in this performance.

    I hate it.

  • @markadiculous If you never saw Robert with a Guitar you need to learn a lot!! you can begin with the video of the song anniversary (live) by robert plant of the manic nirvana tour!!!

  • @craneo2099 I need to do what? ok buddy what ever you say... knob!!

  • @markadiculous !!bonk ahahahahahahaH

  • 6:16 - "OK, Neil. You wanna act like tonight's about you when you weren't even the guy that inducted us? OK. We can play one of the many songs that you turned into a piece of shit with your hidius...guitar playing, if you will! Now when I do this, I'm really making fun of how pathetic you are, so why don't you go back to fucking up David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash's careers!"

  • @RHMETAL Sorry. Was too pissed off to notice the typo. Should be "Hideous".

  • OH MY GOD! NEIL, SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR ONCE! NOBODY WANTS TO FUCKING HEAR YOU! NOBODY GIVES TWO SHITS ABOUT YOU, YOU FUCKFACE! THEY WANNA HEAR JIMMY PLAY! THEY DON'T WANNA HEAR A SONGWRITER WITH POORLY PRODUCED ALBUMS BUTCHER A CLASSIC ZEPPELIN TUNE WITH THE MOST GOD AWFUL DISJOINTED POINTLESS SCRAMBLING SHOW-OFF SOLO IN THE HISTORY OF SONIC DISSAPOINTMENTS! 4:17 - "SEE NEIL! I CAN BE A SHITTY GUITAR PLAYER, TOO! I CAN PLAY WHEN IT'S NOT WANTED AND UNCALLED FOR, TOO! I CAN BUTCHER SONGS, TOO!"

  • @RHMETAL mate you clearly don't understand neils playing its meant to be sound like he playing the wrong notes and loud grungy that's Neil and like they say Neil is the godfather of grunge

  • @RHMETAL and neil and made some amazing albums as big a zepplins you dum shit so i think you should watch what you say you dum fucking idiot and zeppelin are good but who's making albums to this day Neil young and they are actually good

  • @ellis6507 He's making albums, but they aren't nearly as good as his older material. But that's not even the point! The point is, he's ruining a Zeppelin reunion! I don't even know why he was jamming with them. I'm pretty sure he didn't induct them. If I go see a Led Zeppelin reunion, I would like to hear Zeppelin play the songs I love like I heard them on the records. I wouldn't wanna hear a bunch of noisy guitar from Neil Young. I understand Neil's playing, but Zeppelin isn't a grunge band.

  • @RHMETAL I can't believe people think Neil "ruined" Zepps performance. He lifted them up to a new level of brilliance - metunge was born on that day in 1995. It is my personal opinion that the collaboration worked a treat. This performance is much better than the studio version of this song on Led Zeppelins album in my opinion.

  • WELL I HOPE NEIL YOUNG WILL REMEMBER "A ZEP REUNION DON'T NEED HIM AROUND ANYHOW!"

  • Neil Young was not needed here! I hope that he remembers that a southern man dont need him around anyhow! He so messes up a classic Zepplin song!

  • hahahahahah WOW i honestly COULD NOT tell this was "when the levee breaks" until robert started singing ..... man this is awkward
