Immigrant Song / The Wanton Song - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (1995)

[TheJunito65]

Who's the drummer? Freaking good!

[BustlingHedgerow]

@TheJunito65 Michael Lee. Sadly, he passed away in 2008.

[mascott77]

Fucking Killer!!!!!

[goo83]

WHY didn't they do this at the 2007 reunion?

[streetparade]

0:00 - 0:14 What a motherfucking Rock Star.

[edwardscizzorz]

fkng awesome!

[bill4long]

Siam woman, how your face has changed...

[blica1]

i think that the late Michael Lee (R.I.P)..captured Bonzo's (R.I.P) essence and feel for these songs more than any drummer these 2 ever played with ever since his death in '80....Jason is certainly a close 2nd to his dad, but i think Lee captured it more..and i'm not knocking Jason or his playing, because he is in fact , his father's son....still , Lee and Jason were and certainly are 2 superb drummers !

[tenoderaaridifolia]

This performance is great,but it also reminds me how incredible Bonzo was.

This drummer sounds like a kid,Bonzo was the BEAST!

[rodentcafeteria]

@tenoderaaridifolia Which is exactly why they called it quits after Bonzo's death.  They knew the band would never sound the same - the "thunder" Bonzo brought to the band was gone.

[tenoderaaridifolia]

@rodentcafeteria I agree.I heard that when Jimmy recruited Robert,he was first planning to make a band sound like folk-rock.But when Robert introduced Bonzo and Jimmy heard him play,his mind was made up to make it hard rock band. Hammer of gods will live in our hearts forever.

[Luukeeeehh]

@tenoderaaridifolia alot of people dont know that bonzo was the real real guy behind led zeppelin

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

@Luukeeeehh People rarely give credit to the guy that played everything pretty well simultaneously John Paul Jones. What is special about Zeppelin is that they all play a huge part in the band on and off stage. That is why they are and always will be the best!

[8hellcat]

Wish I could have been there!!!

[MsPiotto]

Robert Best Plant is pure genius

[tenaciusdmaster]

i just love it when they play one songs intro and then change to another song

[uttz9]

I was siting up front when they did this at the garden nyc MY JAW HIT THE FLOOR! From the word go i knew i was in the presents of the Gods -I was never so elated.

[edwardscizzorz61]

FAVORITE vid and performance of this zep song!! am on a zep kick lately. they fkn RoCK!

[Hivequik]

WHERE ARE THE MARSHALL PLEXIS!!!



[xXXPrinceAlbertXXx]

Omg where is Bonham? Go watch Moby Dick live after this and you'll see what I mean. That drummer sounds like he's hitting a bunch of empty bear cans.

[97ledzepp]

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx hey i know john bohnam is legend but michael lee is second to him in there history of drummers tht have subbed 4 him

[fede1081]

the crowd is great (pure sarcasm)

[GREATWHITE2]

Is that Michael Lee on drums??!!

[jrssww]

this live version is so badass!

[ledballone]

GREATTTTTTTTTTTT

[fede1081]

and the crowd?

[viperlegendkiller]

lol is that why led zep have the best live reputation of any band and i recall jimmy being the only guitarist in the band pissoff u gump

[rodentcafeteria]

Love the intro!!  You can hear to audience go nuts. This is how the Rock Gods do it!!

[chunkawanka]

I saw P&P on this tour in Cleveland, twice. Once at the beginning of the tour & later as they came back through for the end of the tour. I must say, they were incredible both times, but a bit sharper the second time through.

I will never forget the boys kicking into "The Song Remains The Same". I nearly shit myself.

For a guy who never dreamed I would get to see these Rock Gods, those two shows in Cleveland were about as good as it gets. And yes, the Wanton song was a highlight for me as well!

[TruthAxe]

@chunkawanka No doubt Page played better when you saw him than anytime during his LZ days. He was horrible live in the past.

[herbal1971]

@TruthAxe I heard he was a sloppy player at times but I remember seeing Page and Plant in 1995 and Page played stunningly well.

[TruthAxe]

@herbal1971 That might be as Page sobered up and kicked heroin. Still, all those years wasted fried his mind. Page never matured as a guitarist. He plays with early 1960s know-how. Most kids 16 play circles around Page, even Page's own material!

[deadluvva]

@TruthAxe You truly embarass yourself. Musically you know nothing. Sad.....

[TruthAxe]

You amuse. @deadluvva Mere words have whipped you into action. Look at you go!

[pmdnyc]

@TruthAxe You are living proof that we should not allow internet access to the simple minded

[TruthAxe]

You amuse, @pmdnyc. To think, it's only taken you three months to figure out how to use the Internet and YouTube so you can write comments.

Keep up your efforts. Maybe, in a few months, you can master walking and talking at the same time!

[pmdnyc]

@TruthAxe Wow. You have created your own catch phrase.."you amuse". you seem to use that in alot of your replies..make a T-shirt....you may be the next Forrest Gump. As we see, you sure as hell are as simple minded as he was

[ledzepguitarcovers]

@TruthAxe yes BUT,musically he's more mature than every rock/metal guitarist ;)

[jimihendrixtribute]

@TruthAxe he has more musical knowledge and understanding than almost any guitarist today..

[refacm]

La puta ostia este video

[jimihendrixtribute]

RIP Micheal Lee.. It's sad how god takes all of the good people from us and expects Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga to do justice...

[clubhouseme]

His name is Mike Lee- RIP Mikey

[Plastikage]

how lucky is that drummer, gets to pretend to be bonzo!

[cavdragoon]

@Plastikage Are you kidding this is the great drummer Mike Lee who has since pasted on. Dude you have no idea what your talking about if you think for one min that this guy needs to fill anyone's shoes. Just a note for ya it was stated by both Page and Plant that Lee was the only drummer they had seen that hit the skins as hard as Bonham.

[ludwigking]

When this concert took place way back then, I thought is was bullshit they didn't take JPJ on.

[moreblack]

I love the fact that P&P went out of their way to find songs they could do, that they had never played live with the old band. This was a killer choice, and I'm glad Page brought it back with the Crowes as well.

[mrbrownstone242]

JPJ ! is for sure missing in the sound

[wjv4me]

Great job, they are missing John Paul Jones/Jonesy tho!

[ham60]

Thanks for posting this just incredible 

[YoBroMan]

I was there...it was one of the many shows I went to see at Irvine Meadows...now called Verizon Amphitheater.

Yo!

[xXXPrinceAlbertXXx]

Man, we need bonzo in this. Whoever that drummer is, he just pissed me off.

[thedraizetrain]

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx yeah i know exactly what you mean its like hes hitting empty beer cans

[mrcjwolfe]

@xXXPrinceAlbertXXx the drummer is decent but Bonzo just ate this tune up back in the day. It wasnt till the day i first heard the wanton song that i realised Bonzo was the best drummer i had ever heard!!!

[Arguman]

Page also said (from wikipedia) "we wanted, after In Through the Out Door, to make something hard-hitting and riff-based again". I love all Zeppelin tracks, though many later period stuff has some flaws, I think they're all good based on the quality of the musicians and how they meshed as a group. But for them to go back to pre-77 "Achilles Last Stand"-style songs would have been awesome. Of course there were other issues with Page's heroin use and Bonham's drinking. But if those were resolved..

[diagreen]

THE BEST.THANX

[Dionysos37]

I saw the No Quarter tour in late 90s Boston and they opened with "The Wanton Song"---Page bouncing out, Plant wailing----it was like a wave of thunder and energy going right through you, the whole building swayed

[nelsano3]

You can see where Tom Morrello's riff style and the structure of the rage songs comes from, That stop start riff that revolves around the song was Jimmy Pages creation.... A true pioneer, their music will live forever

[GREATWHITE2]

Flick your cigarette over here, mate!!!! Too bad LZ never re-united. But then again, they made their $, so why should they??!!

[ryssevik]

Amazing

[7byseven]

For a little fella that drummer is a noisy bastard, best drummer since Bonham to my ears.

[no1tlfan]

Brilliant! Never tire of this song.

Plant = one of the greatest vocalists ever

Page = one of the greatest guitarists ever

Wanton Song = one of the greatest (and underated) LedZep songs ever (deserves to ranked alongside Lotta Love, Stairway, etc.)

[GREATWHITE2]

This song is sacred...

[cutis1000]

This is not the high point of the tour, unfortunately, as Plant's voice is not nearly capable of reaching the upper registers like on other parts of this tour. Nevertheless, great fun to watch! Thanks!

[jammmon]

man, that ending

[UpTheSnakes]

I would say that Led Zep at it's worst is 10 times better than everything else!!!!!!!!!!

Though they are not at it's worst here thank God;)!!!!!

[HelpfulFriend]

In England, they roll "cigs" that look more like the manufactured variety.

Might or not be tobacco.

Looks totally radical in any event.

[strother1969]

RIP Micheal Lee, next to BONZO, There NO other!

[NiklasARSON]

neal peart

[apkbluesman]

@strother1969 Barry "Frosty" Smith taught Bonzo alot of the tricks that were later used in Moby Dick and other drumming solos. Check out Frosty playing with Lee Michaels here on YouTube.

[megayahabibi]

markpen23.....and what about Jason Bonham,having been taught to play drums by the man himself, John Bonham.

[BobJD7]

0:10 Badass Page

[markpen23]

Cant lie..jimmy looks like a fuckin badass with that cig hangin from his mouth

[JohnFlorida62]

@markpen23

And you think that's a cigarette why?

[markpen23]

@JohnFlorida62 because he likes to smoke cigs when hes playing..

Plus it looks like a cig, not a joint

[dapunkof1975]

Jimmy Page doesn't even need to solo he could just riff all day and you know its jimmy

[lashutterbug]

Saw them at the L.A. Forum right around this time--either shortly before or shortly after. They played this song there, too.

[MrLeglamp]

When I first saw this I thought Plant is going to attempt Immigrant Song? He had enough trouble singing it live in the 70's, but it was just a segue to The Wanton Song. Nice job.

[Anthaleus]

Porl Thompson is not in the video because of Jimmy. Jimmy had him in to help in (assist), but by this time his services were not neede :)

[zZFingerZz]

I love the change from Immigrant song to The Wanton song!!!

[despayre]

Where is Porl Thompson? Jimmy Page said he was the best guitar player he had ever seen. WHy don't they show him?

[steffsweet45]

cuz jimmy page is jimmy page

[despayre]

And I guess I have to repeat myself, Page said he was the best guitar player he had ever seen.

[steffsweet45]

maybe he ment other then himself or something

[despayre]

or something

[despayre]

And, why do Plant/Page have to wreck Cure songs?

[steffsweet45]

ive always wanted to see this song live

[OROSEY]

Love the FIRE !!

[sonhouse50]

It looks like like the drummer is using a tom for a snare, that thing is huge.

Never seen that before.

Oh yeah, this kicks ass!!!

[Popeyedrums]

YES! It is basically a "marching" snare. Tommy Lee from Motley Crue was known for using one on their earlier live tours. Great eye you have. Those things are Fricken Loud!

[WhatsGoinOnSon]

can u dl videos OFF youtube ?

[despayre]

yes, google it

[dyeat]

Porl is far left at the 2:47  mark.

[despayre]

I know, isn't that great? He looks even better now.

[despayre]

@dyeat thanks!

[smithdsmit]

this rocks. I seen them in 95 but they had a huge .aribic type orchestra behind them. great show but i would have rather seen somethig like this

[serge809]

these guys just dont fucking waver or fall off.

either of them. theyre just as good as 30 years ago and thats just incredible. had bonham lived....man if only. i dont think glam or hair rock wouldve ever had a chance in the 80's.

[Achilles32094]

If Bonham hadn't died Robert was still thinking about leaving

[serge809]

That wouldn't surprise me at all, but I think that the band would've gotten another vocalist and gone another direction and still seen success. Thats what was so awesome about Zep, the power behind the drums, guitar and bass were just as integral as the vocals.

Bonhams death had a more demoralizing effect. You can bet your ass they would've gotten back together regardless.

[videocircus]

Bonham's drumming was the entire back bone of Zeppelin. Tha'ts why Led Zeppeling ended the day Bonham died.

[lessamalta]

Pagey and Plant always amazing!!!

[Arguman]

@serge809 Considering glam had really started in the early 70s with Bowie and T-Rex, I think it would have been a sub-genre. Maybe not *as* dominant as it became in the 80s. Zeppelin would have obviously been a force if Bonham had lived. Even if they had another 10 years together into the early 90s. Would have changed rock as we know it now, I'm sure. I would love to have more Carouselambra type tracks.

[777jordan]

@serge809 I don't know. In through the out door sucked pretty hard. I don't think the world needed another Carouselambra. But it does suck that Bonham died :(

[perrygal8]

Plant is smokin' here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  : )

[blujack07]

michael lee..was a monster behind that kit, page is awesome here too :]

should i get a "zoso" tattoo????

[JCM1325]

@blujack07 I saw them in Pittsburgh in 95' and I wasn't too much of a fan of Michael Lee. I first saw him with Page and Plant during the No Quarter performance on MTV. When I first saw Michael Lee I was like, "uuuugh!!!! they went from Bonzo to.....him?"

I hate how he uses that big ass snare drum, yet, it sounds like he's playing on a little 13 inch piccalo snare. His whole drumkit sounded real weak live too.

Michael Lee doesn't sit too well with me, but that's just me.

[wcwiawcwid]

@ jcm1325 The man is dead. Pay some respect.

[DasGoldenBoy]

He did a great job on the drums when I saw them in Charlotte,NC when they were touring behind Walking Into Clarksdale.

[markpen23]

@JCM1325 Dude are you kidding me? Micheal lee is the closest to bonzo they could have got..

He sounds weak? you must be def

[JustinPierce88]

@markpen23 His drumming sounds weak at times due to audio/video problems. I have seen him live. I was young, real young, but that was a loud show. Best concert in my life besides the O2 show. THAT rocked lol. But Jason, Lee and maybe for shits and giggles Grohl it would say all have the funk to do stuff with Jimmy and the crew. Greatest band in my opinion.

[MrGlove123]

@JCM1325 After Bonham, there is really no one else as far as big drum sounds. Others are good, but they don't hit like Bonzo!

[z1inspector]

@MrGlove123 yea but even jimmy & robert gave this guy credit, they said he was the closest thing to bonzo, so if they give him THAT KIND OF CREDIT, u have to be impressed

[tweetz838]

great stuff. zep was a band that had no filler. it was all top shelf rock.

[uofm97]

Jimmy Page made damn sure none of his material could ever be called "filler". He refined everything he did into pure gold.

[fishboy91]

They sound great here...Plant is in fantastic form

[mrbrianmccarthy]

Why is Roberts voice so F!@#d up,I wonder---He must smoke a LOT,and not sing when he's not touring.I cant even listen to Zeppelin live performances because of him to be honest.He sounds a LOT better on their studio productions.This is just awful.

[awasde]

wtf dude, robert plant have been scored as the best rock singer in the world!

[rundatshit93]

uh, no shit, because he's older here. from 69-75 he was amazing on stage and even after that. of course his voice isn't as PERFECT as it used to be, because he's gotten older and that's what happens. duh.

[Mrboston42]

ENGLISH!!!!!

[junior11968]

sem duvida , mundialmente falando...são os melhores!!!!!

[drakehemlock]

DAMN!!! Nice performance, if only I could have seen it live, I was too young to go to Zeppelin concerts in the 70's, I played the hell out of my parents Zeppelin records, lol.

[zeppelinwoman]

AWSUM INTRODUCTION !!!

[zp4eva]

Micheal Lee is so Dynamic in his playing

[redteapot1]

page looks fucked.

[zeppelinwoman]

NO PROBLEM !! I'LL TAKE HIM !!

[drakehemlock]

This was an excellent performance of this song. He still sounds good singing these types of notes in his later years, you will always Rock on forever in my life Zepp.

[slash129]

AXL sounds better than page right now ,

[poussyledzep]

who "screwing the Cat??"

Axl has the most annoying voice of shit ever!!

he must be throwed by shoes or rotten tomatoes!

[slash129]

Axl n plant are equal singers but axl is one of de worlds best front men

[awasde]

idd

[awasde]

Axl is one of the best in the world..

[jamespatrickplant]

this is pretty good for plant in the 90's, i thought it started to go by then

[Lavall9000]

Page looks like he's losing himself in the riff in the beginning when he's turned around and he shuts his eyes. Gotta love it

[mascott77]

this is my favorit version of this song from that tour. it fuckin rocks!

[EmperorUtube]

led zeppelin is the best robert plant is like

stupid

[mascott77]

your a fuckin moron!

[alexledzepguy]

They should have started playing Immigrant song in G but still this is brilliant.

[Ravenite1]

Then he woulden't have be able to hit the open E chord, he would have to bar an F chord I don't think that would work.

[alexledzepguy]

It would work fine. Your a guitarist aren't you? Surely you would know?

[Ravenite1]

Yeah your right it would work, I'm just saying it's a lot easier to keep it in F# especially when you have to hit the open E chord on Immigrant. And yeah i'm a Guitarist I play Immigrant and Wanton in my band.

[alexledzepguy]

Yeah I get your idea, I like your zeppelin bootlegs by the way. Have you got all of Stairway from Hamburg 73' by any chance?

[Ravenite1]

YES its very good. I didn't post it though cause a friend of mine already did "CrackTheCracker" hes is under my friends list

[scarfacedan09]

FUCKINGGGGGGGGG GREAT!!!
