Wow, this is a great find - I love the song. Never in a million years would I have guessed that JPJ came up with the riff and Pagey was learning it from him.
I'm no musician, but I can see why they elected to close the group after Bonham died. Don't think there was anyone who could have filled the void he left.
From the mouth of JPJ: “My dad had taught me this very easy notation system using note values and numbers. So I wrote it on a piece of paper on the train, probably the ticket. It was originally all in 3/16 time, but nobody could keep up and Bonzo struggled with the juxtaposition of the songs basic 4/4 rhythm with the 5/8 riffing of myself and Jimmy on the B-verse section. I told Bonzo to keep playing 4 to the bar all the way cause if we go through enough 5/8’s, it arrives back on the beat”.
jemmani22...the riff is brought to Zep by JPJ, that is why you can hear the bass playing the riff and the guitar trying to learn it. Check the facts first.
Thanks for posting. Those of you in your 40's remember being a teenager in 70's not having much on the band. I love this posting and keep learning about the band. Wondering how Page got a writting credit on the song? I've read that Jonesy said that it was Bonham who figured out a part in the song.
@z1inspector Jones is this quiet unassuming Englishman who apparently walks around with funky ,bluesy , ballsy and heavy ass grooves floating around in his head . And he has some of the best chops in the game besides ! And when hes is not rocking someones face off , he conducts freaking symphony orchestra s and writes operas ( which he is currently doing ) Jones is a different kind of cat and a gift to rock music
i agree johnygrass, i thought jimmy page did all the riffs but he's following john paul jones. He is a genious bass player makes it look and sound easy but is so not.
@rickydal yes, John Paul Jones reportedly came up with the Black Dog riff, and it was a bit tricky in the turnaround sections - also inspired by a version of SMokestack lightnin off The Howlin' Wolf Album.
@mhotter thts good to know as a bass player, i find him one of the most inspiring. Never thought of howling wolf being inspiration but ofcoarse must be, its just they take it to such a new level its amazing.
Shit this gives me chills. and yes johnygrasa you are right Jonsey did not get alot of credit for being the brilliant man he is.I love the way he's walking Pagey through the chords.I'm a Page fan big time but this time Pagey is following Jonesy lead on cos it was Jonesy idea for Black Dog anyway.

I like the drum intros before the guitars kick in in this version rather than the studio. Jonesy definately does not get enought credit for being as bad ass as he is on the bass. Thank goodness for youtube where you can easily access such great moments in rock n roll history with just one click of a mouse.
@johnygrasa yeah the drum rolls into the main riff are awesome, because of this rehearsels jason played it kinda like this at the 2007 reunion i think
@johnygrasa haha i'm on a laptop so i click on the little pad thing. anyways, ive always said that john paul jones was quite underrated! not only as a bassist, but as a musician! he does so much!
@Mozartmostly John Paul Jones wrote a riff that he wanted to build up and spiral down on itself and have a very akward time signature so cover bands couldnt copy it. The title was developed because a black dog died in the house they used as a recording studio for "IV"
led zeppelin actually made up most of the fourth album's material on the spot...pretty ridiculously awesome. John Paul Jones sure came up with a badass riff. its cool how the lyrics that Plant is singing are different. keep rockin
i dont know what it is about Bonham's drums, even playing little out take bits... his rhythm, style and sound are simply the best... so fluid and and funky its just damn amazing...
@5H4V3D89 Inimitable. And he might be the only drummer of whom it could be said that, if you took every other instrument out of the mix on each song, you'd still recognise the track instantly because his drumming tells the story of the song. Some of his "riffs" are the actual driving force. Kashmir and When The Levee Breaks are two examples, I'd say.
In a respect you are right. It's like comparing apples and oranges, but the name will live on as Motzart's hasl IMO!!!! only time will tell. It was a different era. I know Motzart was composing at a VERY early age, and is my favorite classical composer. It's all hypothetical. I can tell you is 40 years after Zeps demise they are as, or more popular then ever. Don't be closed minded . It's OPINION and time will tell after we are long gone. Lets here your argument
@SwanSongRecords Headley Grange is one of the places in this world I want to travel to one day, i want to see the house in front of me from which such a magical sound comes from.
@SwanSongRecords I know you can see it at google street view .... but well i think as real led zeppelin fan and guitarist whos inspired by the guys I really should see it... and I like this kind of "nonetheless" landscape and villages
I like the drum intro better here than on the studio album. They were ALL BRILLIANT and 4 musicians tis talented will NEVER happen again!!!!! In 200 years, if people are still around, Zep will be looked opon as Motzart is today! People are over looking how easy Bonham put this together. With the "odd time" breaks, he makes it groove as usual
@Rover775 yeah, they where kind of private, wich is why every interview or film of them is considered RARE, my cousin's friend has film of led zeppelin in Headley Grange and its just 10min of led zep hangin around the house and rehearsing, and its valued over 1200$,
its just pure raw energy... its incredible how the end result they recorded retains that rawness. they were a truly amazing group of musicians, each feeding of the other. awesome!
rumour had it that while Jimmy was recording his only solo lp, his home in London was broken into and alot of outtakes and some masters of Zeppelin were taken.I always wondered where it would end up.Great shit don't get me wrong but ,if this is the stuff that was taken from Jimmys house its a shame and,a blessing,,,cos we get to hear but,then he lost these tapes forever. And Yes JPJ did bring this song with him to headley grange. it was his baby.
@43bumpy.If that is true then the tapes will surface one day, maybe not in our lifetime, but someday. They are priceless artifacts almost and things like that dont disappear forever
I think possibly because he's screaming and shouting so much he clears his throat a lot more making him more sensitive to stuff cos the protective stuff gets cleared too. That coupled with 'the odd cigarette or two' is probs it
it was actually a joke because the other blokes are wearing warm coats on an obviously cold day and Robert is standing there with his chest bare to the waist.
That was unbelievable!! I've always wondered if anything like demos of Zep were in existence, or saved (ala the Beatles Anthology), and it's great to know that on a smaller scale they do. I would love to have this on my iPod!
its rehearsal sessions from In Through The Outdoor. there some really cool stuff on there like the song that would inspire In The Light and The Rover how it was originally written, acoustically. cool stuff.
Music like Frank Zappa's,was usually written out on sheet music and done as is.But sometime's music has to be worked out in the rehearsal stage.This is a perfect example. This is a great find. Thank's for posting !
Simply delicious audio! Like they were practicing in your garage, just outside the kitchen door! You could really mess with your neighbors minds with the right speakers! Wish I could hear Plant better. If I play this enough times, maybe I'll dream it, tonight! Wanton, You Da Man!!
wow, this is powerful, profound, and priceless. I feel like I'm with them in the creative process; not sitting way up in the stairway-to-heaven bleachers where the sound is through speakers. This has a surround sound quality & feedback. The drums have that fabulous effect as played on a wooden stage. JPJ engages the interlock. Robert is testing his extra-terrestrial territory. ha ha such fun! Jimmy communes with his Inner Master. They're one reason I aspired to be a lyricist. ♥
I've been a huge Zeppelin fan for years, but never in my wildest dreams would I expect to hear such a demo.
"Black Dog" was the first song that I'd ever 'heard'. The first song that I made a real emotional connection with. Ever since, I've been an audiophile.
I now make my living as a musician/composer/ music producer/engineer.
To hear 'Black Dog' in such an embryonic state like this is fantastic!
This is the best 7 minutes I've spent all year! WooHoo!!
this is history.you can hear Jimmy figure out the licks in 2 or 3 tries and then let the beast do his thing.VERY IMPRESSIVE! this is a monent in time that is historical
Wow, this is a great find - I love the song. Never in a million years would I have guessed that JPJ came up with the riff and Pagey was learning it from him.

This is a brilliant piece of music. Bonham is epic!

This is gold, they are actually making up the song and it's on record!

this is not a rehearsal, they are actually writing the song

That was unbelievable!! I've always wondered if anything like demos of Zep were in existence, or saved (ala the Beatles Anthology), and it's great to know that on a smaller scale they do. I would love to have this on my iPod!

look for the bootleg "Out Through The Backdoor"
its rehearsal sessions from In Through The Outdoor. there some really cool stuff on there like the song that would inspire In The Light and The Rover how it was originally written, acoustically. cool stuff.

Music like Frank Zappa's,was usually written out on sheet music and done as is.But sometime's music has to be worked out in the rehearsal stage.This is a perfect example. This is a great find. Thank's for posting !

This is not just rehearsing or practicing. This is them in the process of creating the song.

Simply delicious audio! Like they were practicing in your garage, just outside the kitchen door! You could really mess with your neighbors minds with the right speakers! Wish I could hear Plant better. If I play this enough times, maybe I'll dream it, tonight! Wanton, You Da Man!!

I do exactly that -
I have tons of zep rehearsals and work sessions like this one that I blast all the time -
somebody came buy the other day and said you guys sound great with that version of no quarter - and I just laughed

wow, this is powerful, profound, and priceless. I feel like I'm with them in the creative process; not sitting way up in the stairway-to-heaven bleachers where the sound is through speakers. This has a surround sound quality & feedback. The drums have that fabulous effect as played on a wooden stage. JPJ engages the interlock. Robert is testing his extra-terrestrial territory. ha ha such fun! Jimmy communes with his Inner Master. They're one reason I aspired to be a lyricist. ♥

I just found this by accident!
I've been a huge Zeppelin fan for years, but never in my wildest dreams would I expect to hear such a demo.
"Black Dog" was the first song that I'd ever 'heard'. The first song that I made a real emotional connection with. Ever since, I've been an audiophile.
I now make my living as a musician/composer/ music producer/engineer.
To hear 'Black Dog' in such an embryonic state like this is fantastic!
This is the best 7 minutes I've spent all year! WooHoo!!

WantonMan - unless you're Jimmy Page, you should give this stuff back to him.
If you are JP, then thanks!
PS - how much do I love John Bonham... !
