Led Zeppelin: Live in Philadelphia 1975

[MegaZephead]

The biggest, and most infuential band of the 70"s!! nobody comes close!

[laralara9986]

I meant to say Led Zep fan boyfriend.. i never went out with anyone from the band~! LOL

[laralara9986]

They are legends and I had to make up my mind 30 years ago who I liked better out of them and Black Sabbath.. I sat there dazed and confused.After a few days and had to tell my Led Zep boyfriend "who" I chose (it was in fun and his curiosity) I chose Black Sabbath but I have even a bootleg of Led Zep and know they are legends. I think some young people do it or religous people thinking some bands are evil.as I too have been shocked when someone has pressed dislike on something good.

[jupiterrocks24]

They played this on "It might get loud"! One of the best music movies out there! (Besides the song remains the same!)

[beatle4life64]

I'm going to be an idiot, (I'm just getting into Zeppelin) and ask what song this is....

So...what song is this?

[Lyrero]

@beatle4life64 'In my time of dying'. I suggest that you watch the same song performed by them at the Earls Court Concert for a better appreciation.

[beatle4life64]

@Lyrero all right, thanks. Will do.

[jupiterrocks24]

@beatle4life64 Glad to see you join the club, my friend. May I suggest Whole Lotta Love, Bron-Yr-Aur, D'yer Ma'ker, No Quarter, Ramble On, and All My Love?(though that does not even crack their wonderfully marvelous hits!)

[Roadiestar]

Sorry never saw what all the hype was about. They were a good band but FAR from anything special.There's so many bands that were and are better I wouldn't even know were to start.

I personally think they past there expiration date back in the early 80's.

[jupiterrocks24]

@Roadiestar Listen to Whole Lotta Love. That will change your perspective of Zeppelin. And, if not, you are an illegal alien from Jupiter. I'll be calling space authorities on you.

[Roadiestar]

@jupiterrocks24 They are ok but nothing special. Even growing up in the 70's they never did anything for me. Way to many bands that are a lot better.

[Roadiestar]

Most over rated band ever, good but faaaar from anything special.

[MetalheadYA]

@Roadiestar WOW! Faaaar from anything special? Are you serious? Their level of musicianship was brilliant. They invented the R&R template. A million bands have tried to copy them. Zep music is timeless. The most telling aspect of LZ's legacy (to me) is when someone asked Robert Plant wot he thought was important about Zep music, he said, "we are more interested in what people are doing while they are listening to us than how important our music is". REALLY listen to them and you will dig'em too.

[Roadiestar]

@MetalheadYA If the radio stations stopped playing there music they would faid away like any other band. Sorry I just don't get it.

[vladimir1341]

saw Led Zeppelin at Knebworth 1979, a true experience.

[whatsuphotdog]

I refuse to say "people like what they like" concerning people who don't like Zeppelin. If you don't like Zeppelin, fuck you.

[MrBartender49]

okay... here's the truth my friends....people are going to be listening to music in 100yrs from now... and Led Zep WILL BE ONE OF THOSE BANDS... they will say....I wish I could have seen them..... I am one of the lucky ones....seen them 3 times...

[blaiseman72newyorker]

you can say im crazy all you want but truth be known the crazy ones are the ones who dosent loveLed Zeppelin

[stinkenstine]

My sister & sister-in-law both do not like led zeppelin at all. I give them hell. They just don't get it. some people do & some don't. My sister-in-law plays the acoustic guitar. simon and garfunkel & stuff like that. She has no idea. I told her to try bron-y-aur or friends, or going to cal or bron-y-aur stomp. I feel bad for my brother. He's as big a Zep fan as me. He cranks it. They fight a lot !

[mikepa67]

when Page plays he rips his soul out, the good and the evil, and it screams at you whether you like it or not. That's why page is great ( in my opinion.)

[tubetube1221]

musicians, of course, understand how good led zep was. Average dipshit listeners may or may not. it all depends on the ear you were born with.

[cmwgs]

omg LED what a thrill...thank you ...thank you...

[itwontbez]

Any time live footage, even in its rawest form like this here, is worth it to hear Zeppelin during their heyday.  If time machines are ever invented, I'd use it to go see them in concert!

[yoyohomey]

IF ERIC CLAPTON WAS GOD THEN JIMMY NMUST BE YAHWEH

[RisingSon011]

when you are the best at what you do , you will have your haters . It takes people a long time to say very little

[webnaut3772]

This is also the show where police brutally beat some kid who left his seat to get closer to the stage. Robert and Jimmy were aghast and stopped the show - Robert berated the police for doing this, and Jimmy said later if he hadn't had a guitar in his hand, he would have jumped in and helped put a stop to it. They never played Philly again after the '75 show, they were so horrified by the scene.

[loverofthebigt9]

I WAS THERE 3 1/2 HOURS OF THIS !!! THE TWO LP SET WAS NOT EVEN OUT YET ! THEY DID IT ALL ! DOWN BY THE SEASIDE. ! KASHIMIRE !

[mielazul]

This is a really interesting tour. They hit the road in a pretty damaged condition, with Rob stricken with a cold (and recovering from surgery), Jimmy with a smashed finger...and even Bonzo with stomach problems. The early shows are kind of fucked up (but still majestic, because it's fucking ZEP). They got better really fast, though. I just bought the newly released soundboard bootleg from Seattle in March, and it's just jaw-droppingly awesome. That kind of recovery just adds to the legend.

[THERodge100]

@mielazul Hey man, I'm in England, any idea's where I can order a copy of this Seattle oundboard bootleg? You're so lucky to have seen these guys live!

[mielazul]

@THERodge100 Hey Rodge...I didn't see them live, unfortunately...I'm just a fanatic about LZ bootlegs (I've seen Jimmy and Rob and even JPJ many times though). As far as the Seattle soundboard, why don't you get in touch and I'll see what I can do - the Rosetta West videos on my channel have my e-mail address in the "show more" section.

[henryinflorida]

There's no denying their place in rock history. I didn't become a big fan in their day, but have come to appreciate their music as years go by. One hell of a line up.......

[plyitld24]

Was just reading on here about.....people putting down Led Zeppelin....what the heck ...i was never a Zep fan simply because the Doors and Bob Seger ,Tom Petty, Van Halen..got most of my time..but anyone who puts down L.Z..is not even worth talking about cause obviously they don't know - - - - about music....enough said ...everyone has an opionion ...there like ---holes..sorry if this offends you but music is music and like bob marley says its funny (how music can hit you but never Hurt you.

[greeceed]

Led Z are in the pantheon of rock gods for ever, their body of work is diverse, intellectual and has its roots in english folk with a blues background paved by Jimmie Page listening to Robert Johnson and original bluesmasters. They are music history, a creative force. I prefer it that some uneducated kids hate it on you tube, at least on you tube they get a glimpse of greatness they otherwise would not perceive in their tiny bubbles of force-fed mass mediocrity

[railbum]

all who hate Zep, can eat a bag of dicks. just sayin.....

[AWTD]

@railbum Rabbish?

[Paneeks1960]

I actually never really bothered with anyone who bad mouthed or simply did not know Zeppelin. I would just walk away from the person because I knew right away that we had {or will never have} anything in common. There are super fans and casual fans but I tend to seek out the hardcore Blimp fans. They are the knowledgeable and interesting people. If you only know Stairway and Black Dog, leave me alone!

[beattheshitoutta]

JESUS..............Pray to make out!

[SuperLiftRick]

OMG...I remember this concert. At the age of 12 I was brought in by my older brother and life was NEVER the same after that. Actually it was BETTER.

The Led Zeppelin band are the GODS OF ROCK...!!!

[mykylc]

Good Lord Jimmy's right arm looks freakishly long in this video!

[userboy6]

when i was a kid i practicually lived at the Spectrum, Tower Theatre and the TLA. gone are the good old days!

[loverofthebigt9]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN,

[MOSKII58]

@loverofthebigt9 wow  i can only imagine, most zep shows were grand experiences for those lucky enough to have attended, i have seen alot of concerts, had i seen a zep show , that would have capped it off nicely, but i never had the chance..

[Clasico2350]

This was the concert when "Dazed and Confused" was 44 minutes long.

[Historyguy13]

I was there! Thanks for the memory!

[phillyjack65]

Drove by the Spectrum today. There are a couple of columns left to knock down before there is nothing left. So sad. Saw all of my favorite concerts in that building. Not to mention a couple of Stanley Cups.

[srphockey11]

@phillyjack65 My brother..Alwys likd watching The Flyers bck in the day @ The Spectrum..Thn I got a chance 2play in a hockey tourny there when I was like 10 or so .All those great dark places are gone .Reason I say dark arenas & coliseums is they all had smethng about thm tht mde ya feel right @ hme..Like your livinroom Now these state of the art buildings R incred but give me a place like MSG or Joe Louis ANY DAY..So you saw The Flyers win the bck 2 bck cups in 74 & 75!.NICE!.THE BROAD ST. BR!

[phillyjack65]

@srphockey11 very cool. I would have loved to play a game at the Spectrum. Don't go to many games at the Wells Fargo Center or whatever you call it now. The place has had 5 or 6 different names already. The Spectrum will always be the Spectrum. At least the Phillies got it right with their new stadium although they probably could have added another 10,000 seats.

[srphockey11]

@phillyjack65 ..Phillyjck My bther.Yeh ws a lot of fun. plyed in a a couple of big name areas bck thn .Wish I could rember more of it ,ya knw Ill tell ya 1 of the mst historic places I evr plyed as a kid was The Montreal Forum ,tlk about a place steeped in history!.It really didnt even look like a building wre a pro team wuld play.looked more like a place where a AAA team would play..Kinda like the old Boston G..that kinda feel w/just alot more banners in the rafters Did U C Zep @ The Spectrum?

[DSamSebe1]

@BatmanCoolGuy tours in 75 and 77

[sbuttercase]

Check out Stephen Davis' book "LZ-75" for what happened before and after this gig!

[stevenheimer113]

Did someone in the crowd say "That my friends is gay," at about 54 seconds in?

[backtoharmony]

I remember this show-I was just 16. Zeppelin was our Philly gang’s God; we listened to & talked Zeppelin 24/7. Before tickets went on sale-I begged my parent’s to let me camp out in frot of the Spectrum ticket window with the older guys from the gang with no luck. On show night the unlucky one's huddled around a boom box on the corner-smoked a ton of weed & listened to WMMR’s radio coverage & imagined we were there too. Later I suffered stories of how magical & incredible our hero’s kick ass.

[narutoisashit]

nicee i had never saw this concert

[Kaptainess]

I WAS THERE! Great show and VERY, VERY LOUD! How did they film this? Wild!

[MegaZephead]

@Kaptainess You lucky soul! how many nites did zep play? what else do you remember about the show??thanks!

[ludwigking]

Hey drnapls2 go listen to Justin Bieber

[drnapls2]

Led Zep stinks!

[scottstankis]

@drnapls2 and you suck D$%^s too

[scottstankis]

@drnapls2 and you suck D$%^s too. They are one of the best bands ever and who ever doesn't think so needs their head examined.

[MegaZephead]

@drnapls2 have you always been  anti zep??!! get real!!!

[Woprtshmidt753]

In all honesty, it does bother me a little that some people don't like

Led Zeppelin - but, intellectually, I also understand that their

music is not going to appeal to everyone. It does become a problem, though,

when those who don't like Led Zeppelin go onto their videos and start harassing everyone.

It boils down to live and let live, and let people have their own opinions. It goes both ways, too.

[Paneeks1960]

@Woprtshmidt753 Very nice comment and very well put. You may dig my You Tube videos on my Zeppelin video collection. Again, I like the way handled the comment above.

[kamaranmann]

@Woprtshmidt753 Sometimes when people who say things like that, usually are people who do it to rouse hard core fans. ANY musician will tell you that these four prolific musicians had a gift, individually and collectively. I have not met one musician that has not completely paid homage to this significantly pivotal ensemble. Even a hip hop artist would know that this band is exceedingly beyond talented in every aspect of music. Anyone who doesn't get that, has no concept of reality. :)

[MBledzephed]

@kamaranmann Right on man, but please don't use the word "artist" after hip hop ;)

[kamaranmann]

@MBledzephed I don't have the time right now, but I have many good things to say about Hip Hop. So when I have a free moment, I will do that... (that was funny though!!) They are artists!!!

[sitro74]

@kamaranmann Well said.

[GuyFawkesGuitar]

@Woprtshmidt753

Unfortunately, all great bands have haters! It's just a fact of life!

But, personally, I THINK LED ZEPPELIN WERE THE BEST BAND IN HISTORY!

[gammarey]

@Woprtshmidt753 when Zeppelin was playing in their "time", it was never heard or seen where Zeppelin was insulted, mocked, denigrated or otherwise lambasted. you either like them or you didn't. but you kept silent if you had something negative to say. i was 1 of those. but i didn't have the "stones" to say they sucked. you just promoted your 'band' and engaged in debate involving all the other 'bands'. they were the 'creme de la creme'.

[jbjindra]

Philadelphia '75. Same year and place as the movie Rocky. Born in the 80's but love the 70's. Is something wrong with me? I think not.

[5uspended4nimation]

( propeller noise)

Are we rollin Jimmy?

Yeah we're rolling on ....... two?

"That's gonna be the one, that's it, "

"Come have a listen, then. "

"Oh yes, thank you."

[alvintof]

One of the greats,....still a tossup as to who does the chicken walk best Mick Jagger or Robert Plant I vote on Jagger !! (in jest)

[AZEIDJSKSQMM]

@alvintof LMAO IT S JOKE ?JAGGER IS A HORRIBLE SINGER,NO FEELING !

[loverman123able]

I WAS AT THIS VERY SHOW ! OVER 3 HOURS LONG ! MOBY DICK SOLO (DRUM) WAS OVER 25 MIN'S LONG ! ALSO DID THE ENTIRE TWO LP SET- NOT EVEN RELEASED YET,WE HOPE YOU INJOY THIS ! DOWNBY THE SEASIDE (PAGE) IN FLOWER SHIRT WITH HIS DOUBLENECK!!

[PinkZeppelin44]

i want a shirt like jimmys for next xmas

[cep32101]

One of the best.

[acirjan]

vvvvvvvvvery hard

[TheGreatStonedOne]

@acirjan If you're referring to my dick, then yes, yes it is. Slide gets me every time.

[sawthemin77]

Very hard to do live , like Celebration Day , Awesome !

[wickedlester97]

I asume this would be at the Spectrum.

[kickpedal]

@wickedlester97 you assume correctly. 

[saguitar541]

@wickedlester97 long live the spectrum

[toothdds]

So far beyond...

[tutupatia]

im not gay, but ithink Robert Plant is sexy!

[jammmon]

@tutupatia no one cares youre really gay inside

[ihatewebkinz1234]

i wonder if they picked up a cheesesteak

[RunEd51]

is Jimmy playing a Danelectro?

[Vladymir1916]

@RunEd51 yes

[et1000et1000]

@RunEd51 Yes, a Danelectro DC-59 (or 3021)

[JUNSKI517]

I was at this show!! I was 17 and never seen a band since that comes close..

[Musicmaker703]

its funny that if you wer your guitar low like jimmy, you get called a slash wanna be..but slash must of got it from jimmy cause this is 10yrs b4 gnr, and jimmy was one of slashes influ.

[TheFlippertastic]

Why did Zep leave us for so long from Earls court to Knebworth..Pisses me off cos when they get back they expect the following here in the uK to be the same..

[StreeTRacR008]

@TheFlippertastic

It's not like they didn't want to come back

...Plant had a terrible car crash in '76

and then his son died near the end of the American tour in '77

[Vladymir1916]

@StreeTRacR008 Plant had that accident in august '75

[bluu999]

@Vladymir1916 The car accident happened in Greece in September of 1975.

[Vladymir1916]

@bluu999 If it was in September then they have played 3 stadium gigs in US, but they not. That accident was in August, you can believe or not but it was.

[Vladymir1916]

@bluu999 form wikipedia: (...) These plans were thwarted in August 1975 when Robert Plant and his wife Maureen were involved in a serious car crash while on holiday in Rhodes, Greece.

[pkerdef8]

@TheFlippertastic Also, they did have tax exile..

[DCussen]

Pretty wild....get on youtube and see all these past Zep shows in their prime.....thank you, bootleggers.

[eaglesfan4173]

THE MIGHTY ZEP ENOUGH SAID

[algirhythm]

zep!

[lowgeemudbone]

the spectrum was rocking for sure !!

[lolal6]

my favorite song in live

[LentilWk13]

Great footage!

[weeszel]

this concert was about 3 weeks before physical graffiti was released the 75 tour was 4 that album this was my first concert too awesome to find any clip at all of it at the spectrum in philadelphia

[toronado1967]

@weeszel No band ever had more business savy than Peter Grant (Mgr.) & Led Zeppelin. The album is ALWAYS released prior to a new tour. Saw them in Fort Worth for this '75 Physical Graffiti tour & in Dallas for '77 Presence tour.

[acdcgnrmetallica1]

Great :))))

[Pighood]

How could this be from '75? The song was on Physical Graffiti, released in '76.

[hvrock13]

@Pighood They would have songs composed and written way before they released them on an album. Some of their songs were many years old before they recorded them on an album. They played them in their shows for years, changing them up and developing the songs and then they incorporated them into an album, kinda like testing a car before putting it out on the market. They had probably been playing this song for years before this.

[Paneeks1960]

@Pighood Physical Graffiti was not released in 1976, it was released in 1975. The above comment by hvrock13 was somewhat right in regards to Jimmy Page having some songs in the can and reworking them. They did not have a ton of extra songs as we found out with the CODA. . Most of the work that the Blimp did in the studio {post Zeppelin 1 + II} were fresh and new. I know because I teach Classic Rock and no one did it better than Zeppelin. Not even nurses. {See 1977 Oakland}

Paneeks/Boston

[chanisco]

Absolutely awesome. Great sound for '75 and video.

[Karenfan09]

Sounds like Zeppelin is playing the song an octave too low.....The song doesn't even sound good and I am a huge Zeppelin fan.

[JackOfferlott]

@Karenfan09

You have to remember that recording equipment back 35 years ago wasn't the digital high-tech studio-in-your-phone of today. Put it this way: How do they look because the film is grainy and jumpy? Same thing with the audio. You can't make a judgment call like that based on old film and audio. And truthfully, even with these factors considered, they came out f*$%ing great!

[hadjicrack]

@Karenfan09 they did tune this song differently for live preformances

[ZoSoRecords]

nice sound

[loverofthebigt9]

this was the best show of my life ! i was there ! the lp was not even out yet ! THEY PLAYED THE WHOLE THING FRONT TO BACK ! COME TO MARCH-FOR-WORLD-PEACE!~JUNE 20TH CENTRAL-PARK. GUESS WHO SHOW'S? UP?

[TheRockandrolltrain]

@loverofthebigt9 u r fuckin lucky im 14 if they tour for renion i want to go

[srfrr]

this is seriously fucking awesome. Go Gonzo! Go Philly!

[USAvictory2010]

@srfrr Bonzo!!

[leroyspunkin]

Don't see a lot of video with his Dana.

[larryc2321]

good vid for its time

[nearvana2003]

Brilliant please do post more if you can love it love it love it Cheers

[Marly61]

THANKS! You are going to post more right, this is just a teaser?
