There are are only two bands that never fail to amaze in the fullness of the term and Led Zeppelin is one of them brethtaking even after all those years.
This has to be in my top 5 of all zeppelin songs, but I would probably have to squeeze 15 to 20 nto that top 5. Anyway, this song rocks as hard as any song ever written!!!
I think everyone can agree that this song was way way ahead of it's time.
It came out in 1976 but is just as progressive as anything you'd hear nowdays!
I remember when I first heard this song. It was the summer of '76 and I was only 15 years old. There was absolutely nothing out there like it! Amazing!
Oh that takes me back, I was 17 and enjoyed every minute of their performance. The sun was shining, atmosphere electric, sound was perfect - awesome. Absolute QUALITY.
You know most every other great band I can think of had a rhythm AND a lead guitarist (Stones, GNR, Beatles, Clash) and the ones that didn't like The Who or U2 had no lead parts. Jimmy did both on some really complex pieces....and nothing got more complex than this...there's at least 6 guitar parts on the album. This is absolute FUCKING amazing. Jimmy and Jimi are the Guitar Gods. Simple as that!
I thot it sounded great! Every guitatist misses notes, but the best make up for it with improvisation, and this is exectly wat Page does here. He always improvs on Stairway To Heaven, theres many variations of the solo.
First Zep song I ever heard and my favourite. Sublime drumming by Bonzo and in my opinion, his greatest hour. Any kid who wants to play should sit down and listen to this track and listen to a genius at work. It will be the ony inspiration that they will ever need....it certainly was for me. R.I.P, J.B..
My fav four Zep songs(Babe i'gonna i'm leave you, since i've been loving you, no quarter and achilles last stand).Abstract choice maybe but Achilles last stand is a monumental song title performed by an exceptional band.
Don't you love all the little sheep in the comments telling everybody that this is crap, because somebody told them that Page was crap after '77 because of the heroin. They don't even have ears of their own, somebody tells them something and they parrot it. Pathetic. This is a fucking triumph and here's some news for you sheep....a lot of '77 and after Zep is among their BEST. Look for the "Listen to this Eddie" boot as just one example.
brilliant,the first few camera views made bonzo look like he was sitting in a Tank! all you see is the top of his head..shooting grooves all over the place..Amazing.
JPJ carried them those last years. I hate to say it. But in the studio, they were brilliant. But onstage, from what I've seen, Page was pretty sloppy.
@floopsie666 Jimmy is he man don't get me wrong.. But listen to the difference of Led Zep albums vs say 1973 MSG concert or 1979 Knebworth concert. He just doesn't hit every note as clearly as he does in studio... idk maybe he fixed mistakes in the studio, thats why he doesn't sound as clean live.. It's hardly a diss at the man, + he was doped out on H his last few years with LZ, esp once poor old John Bonham passed way. Duane Allman is my #1, Eric Clapton #2, Page is a #2 or #3!!!
@195952 "Duane Allman pleassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeee?" Hey we each have our own opinions and judging by your response your's isn't even worth acknowledging.. we'll just leave it at that.
@floopsie666 btw I feel the same about Jimmi Hendrix. The man was an awesome showman/ blues player, but he too got sloppy playing live.... Fuck it its probably all the acid they were taking lol
I love Led Zepellin...Jimmy Page is a genius as a songwriter and on the studio. But he never gets the same level playing on a live performance...:( Sad, but true.
Alchool?? Drugs??
John Bonham and John Paul Jones always be great, on the studio and playing live in the Zep show!! The same level than the studio recordings!! Great musicians!!
@gevirtual1 Watch there earlier stuff, ie from '68 to '75 he was at his best between then, his later stuff was bogged down with drug addictions etc...
@freakshow2000 I'm sorry but you're totally wrong I began to listen rock music at the end of 60's and i liked very much 70's. Beside of that I like classic music. For sure I'm not a product of today.
"GREEN EASY CHAIR" MUSIC,(I.E.BEATINGS) BONES BROKEN,SOME HOW SOME WAY ,I'LL MAKE IT I'LL BE GREAT LIKE "JIMMI PAGE" HE HAS BODY GUARDS,CAN'T BEAT ON HIM,I WANT THAT,THIS MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE!!!,,,I MADE IT ,HERE I AM "KEVIN JOSEPH O'CONNELL" CHECK OUT MY IMPOSSIBLE GUITAR PLAYING,CALLED "AZUL" ( I'M WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT) I'M POWERFULL NOW WITH MY BROKEN JAW,AND BROKEN NOSE,,,,I'M ALIVE,I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen Jimmy Page have so much fun in any other video......that smile....WOW....you know he hit it on the head.....no feeling like it...and he shared it with all...again...WOW!!!!
oh man jimmy was wasted look at the amount of sweat on his shirt i think he shouldve worn his old dragon suit so he wouldnt melt still not as bad as live aid performance where he turns into golem from lord of the rings

I was aged 16, i was about 100 yards from the stage and during this piece. I remember being bored so i went of to the toilets to jack off about PBANDSNOW1's friends sister
its performances like this that make you wonder what might have been if only JB could have eased off the bottle a little bit.he is an animal...a primitive beast channeling the most raw of artistic expression in the most forceful of ways.
To this day. I have never discovered a band who consistently produced, a better album every bloody time. Talk about NOT resting on your laurels. Great lesson learned , never in life, accept your last accomplishment, as, the best that you have, to deliver. Never be satisfied.
@martock36 - Exactly...and you know they are great when they have so many songs over 5 minutes long..and each one is good..and each one can be put on repeat =}
@martock36 I agree they kept getting better..when I was growing up this was the quality of music I was listening to...now it's all crap where's rock and roll..has it died?
@martock36 i`ve been a life long fan of led zep and i agree with you but i think pink floyd done a bloody good job on their albums upto the point roger waters left!
thanks for vid! i know it's not your fault but I hate when camera men shoot only singer and guitarplayer. There's only few times when Bonzo shown more than 2 secs :). but anyway it's amazing footage!
Led Zeppelin has had weak moments as far as live performance goes. But It's ironic that the song about being weak or vulnerable is one of there most ferocious, heavy and powerful.
Ya mon, best band ever. Caught two shows in Chicago in '77 when I was 16. These guys got me through some hard times. Great lp. For Your Life is also incredible. Check out Warren Haynes if you get the chance.
i saw the band on several tour's lol call me nut's but i don't know if they weren't their best at this show. ... even with consideration to condition of best guitar-player in the world.
I was aged 16, I was about 100 yards from the stage and during this piece I remember a kind of... I'll call it blinding white, gut-shaking, rainbow-coloured, joyous, electrifying heat (and cold) rolling in huge waves from the wide, wide stage over us in the crowd. Excuse the metaphors, it's the only way I can do the memory justice. Takes me back... :-)
The only substances in my bloodstream that evening were a couple of cans of Cola. Zep did it all for me. Actually these videos don't do any justice to the light show. No projections and suchlike back then, but the stage itself was just so huge and the light design was often very imaginative and full of contrasts. Not just different pretty colours. Maybe one kind of 'light theme and variations' for one song, then something quite different for the next song.
@rosgiles I drove with a group of friends hundreds of mile to see Zeppelin. Bonham died a few weeks later. Out of all the concerts I saw during the 70"s {and there were a lot of them} Zeppelin will always be my favorite. Watching John Bonham play Moby Dick live was so amazing. No one else can come close. I would like to go back in time, walk up to him, slap him up the side of the head and yell. Stop using that shit.....
geez mr cameraman you do know there are 4 members of Led Zeppelin.i really hate how cameramen who filmed concerts back in the day only focused on the singer and lead guitar..Jeff Stein had to film a concert for the Kids are Alright because he couldnt find any good clips of the band that featured all of The Who
It was my 15th birthday a couple of months ago, and I never got myself a gift. For my gift, I will attempt (if I am succeed, it will be a gift) to have sex with my friends super hot 19 year old sister. Despite the fact that I don't think It will happened, Led Zeppelin gives me the strength to try.
Look Im a Pimk Floyd fan as well but for the 12 ppl that think their more harder than Zeppelin are tone deaf. Pink Floyd is on another whole level. Calmer acid rock feel. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are the true pioneers of Heavy metal.
Feel free to slag on Page all you want , All of their songs have 10 guitar parts on the recordings , Page only covers 8 1/2 of them live , Feel free to try that sometime.
@JnthnHuerta I LOVE zeppelin second most abundant band on my ipod next to zappa, However Zappa's music is so complicated and beautiful. With zappa your never too sure what hes going to throw at you. you can never guess the next note. With jimmy he tends to stay in the pentatonic and major/minor scales/modes. Where zappa creates his own from scratch not to mention he wrote all of the scores for his avante garde band (listen to the bells in Pygmy twylyte.) youll understand
@spoon149 Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Frank Zappa, I think he's such an innovative guitar player, but that Achilles' Last Stand guitar solo is utterly EPIC.
thanks for unintentionally telling me that you're not the biggest fan or even not a fan at all..just like you took the time to say they're boring i took the same amount of time to tell you your opinion isn't view as a majority but a minority.
I tried hard to like LZ. I really did guys. It's just that Robert Plant is more tone deaf that I've ever imagined possible and some of Jimmy Page's licks are just boring. I'll give you that they put a lot of passion into their music but you could put a lot of effort into taking a shit and still get shit as a result. ARGUMENT COMMENCE!
@timkick2 yeah sure just check a couple of the these zep videos on youtube out you can barely spot a dislike from one person..play some zep in your neighborhood and see if the neighbors get mad or tell you to crank it up..ask every person you run into tommorow and ask "hey you like zep?" you probably get 10 % at the most of a response such as "they're okay" or "no i don't like them"..once again im not going to bash your ass b/c ppl are entitle to what they like and don't like..
It seems to me that you are under the impression that because a large number of people have positive opinions about LZ those opinions can be regarded as either a fact or standard. So what if there's a lot of people that like the band. That doesn't somehow mean everyone has to
@timkick2 why would you say that? it took these 4 guys to make up the band called Led Zeppelin. People complain about Page not being the best guitarist who ever lived but he created more timeless music then anyone else from this era.
I remember one of the first times i listened to this song was a rainy April morning, like in the song. Was out hanging out with friends, glow in the dark mini putt and stuff. Every time I hear this song I think of that day :D
11 people have clearly no recognition of genius and the solo is not shit as some people put it , i challenge you to play this song its fking monster and from my fave zep album.
@TaroGabunia Your existence is shit. You're literally God's shit. He felt like taking a giant shit one day, probably after eating some Cherrios while listening to this awesome masterpiece... and so here you are.

It was my 15th birthday a couple of months ago, and I never got myself a gift. For my gift, I will attempt (if I am succeed, it will be a gift) to have sex with my friends super hot 19 year old sister. Despite the fact that I don't think It will happened, Led Zeppelin gives me the strength to try.
Perhaps I can use Zeppelin to woo her.

Sorry Pink Floyd. Its almost 4am here....Woke up and just needed to hear some Zep. That eva happen to any of my Zep sisters and brothers?

Look Im a Pimk Floyd fan as well but for the 12 ppl that think their more harder than Zeppelin are tone deaf. Pink Floyd is on another whole level. Calmer acid rock feel. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple are the true pioneers of Heavy metal.

Feel free to slag on Page all you want , All of their songs have 10 guitar parts on the recordings , Page only covers 8 1/2 of them live , Feel free to try that sometime.
good luck with that

@JnthnHuerta I LOVE zeppelin second most abundant band on my ipod next to zappa, However Zappa's music is so complicated and beautiful. With zappa your never too sure what hes going to throw at you. you can never guess the next note. With jimmy he tends to stay in the pentatonic and major/minor scales/modes. Where zappa creates his own from scratch not to mention he wrote all of the scores for his avante garde band (listen to the bells in Pygmy twylyte.) youll understand

@spoon149 Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Frank Zappa, I think he's such an innovative guitar player, but that Achilles' Last Stand guitar solo is utterly EPIC.

I tried hard to like LZ. I really did guys. It's just that Robert Plant is more tone deaf that I've ever imagined possible and some of Jimmy Page's licks are just boring. I'll give you that they put a lot of passion into their music but you could put a lot of effort into taking a shit and still get shit as a result. ARGUMENT COMMENCE!

@timkick2 yeah sure just check a couple of the these zep videos on youtube out you can barely spot a dislike from one person..play some zep in your neighborhood and see if the neighbors get mad or tell you to crank it up..ask every person you run into tommorow and ask "hey you like zep?" you probably get 10 % at the most of a response such as "they're okay" or "no i don't like them"..once again im not going to bash your ass b/c ppl are entitle to what they like and don't like..

@NYJ4CK
It seems to me that you are under the impression that because a large number of people have positive opinions about LZ those opinions can be regarded as either a fact or standard. So what if there's a lot of people that like the band. That doesn't somehow mean everyone has to

I enjoy both Bonham and JPJ. They're both exceptional musicians. The other two I can't say many positive things about.

@timkick2 why would you say that? it took these 4 guys to make up the band called Led Zeppelin. People complain about Page not being the best guitarist who ever lived but he created more timeless music then anyone else from this era.
