  • I was there at the Festival all 3 days. I was 17 at the time.

  • @Junkglass Thanks to communism today, 17 year olds can't have fun like you did. :o

  • en el 69´ Plant vestía de diferente manera.!

  • The video of their whole set at this festival must exist. I wonder where? Anybody seen it?

  • they played for hours at this show!

  • my gods........thank you !

  • I didnt know jimmy used his No.2 on stage during 1969!

    Damn this footage just beats it! so raw and pure talent!

    Best band ever!

  • I was there. Freaked out when Page started making a guitar sound waiving his cello bow around in thin air playing Dazed and Confused. Could have been something I had ingested.

  • super-rare treat thank you... who ever hit the dislike must understand this was 1969 footage, not alot of it around from LZ at the early stage of their monsterous career.. Plant to Bonzo "john, where did you park the heli? it's time to make a fast get-away..

  • Wow.

  • Ah yeah. As you asked what his official website is....it's jimmypagedotcom.

    The feature of your video was yesterday, so you won't find it there anymore.

  • @reswati Ja I know that, somehow that video might have stolen the views from here (could be wrong).

  • Dude Jimmy or some that works for him used this on his website! Thats awesome. :D

  • @natash141 I think it's only for today, cool though :D.

  • @worldwidekillerz Yeah, he does the "On this day" thing

  • Lol, exactly this video....i mean the one uploaded by you, is just beeing used at Jimmy's oficial website right now.

  • this was just used on Jimmy's site

  • Cool Video. I see Page is using a Les Paul. This is August 1969. Anyone know when he stopped using the telecaster? Couldn't have been too long before this.

  • i think Led Zeppelin didn't play in woodstock because they took too many gig at that time

  • @zzy66613 I think they didn't want to get on a political side, for or against Vietnam to them it was just about their music. And they were making good money making records for "the man".

  • @worldwidekillerz that quote is that their manager asked them 'do you want to play on a muddy farmers field in new york state?' they didnt eeven know what it was going to be i guess

  • @BigBizzE Ah ok I see, too early in their career to be "playing on a muddy farmer's field in new york state". Also apparently though Zepp tried to stay out of politics with Jimmy's least favorite Zepp song being "Living Loving Maid" because it is apparently very political, but if LZ went political they would have ruined their sound like Pink Floyd did.

  • @worldwidekillerz personally i love pink floyds sound as long as the band remained an equillibrium, when roger waters took control from the wall onwards i wasnt a fan

    yeah and the way their manager described it wasnt exactly that promising.

  • about the woodstock stuff they didn´t did it because they didn´t wanted to compite against other bands live

  • @braulioponcexd144 - that's strange - cause I thought they did did it - they would have to compite with other bands - but they did did it though didn't they?

  • can someone tell me where to find more good live zep jams like this?

  • @mjdietle Go buy they're BBC sessions, some of the greatest stuff I've ever heard from zeppelin!

  • what's up with Plant slouching in the early days?

  • 1:35 even Robert cries when he hears this beautiful song

  • Great footage. Back when I was an ardent Zep bootleg collector, this show was one of my faves (on cassette, no less). The audio quality and performance are excellent and I like the quirky nuances from an historical perspective "...'will you welcome please, THE Led Zeppelin!'", and hearing the excited pleas from the front of the audience for the "Breakdown" encore when the track was less than a year old. Too bad that Zep never did Woodstock - they were close in Asbury Park, NJ in mid-August.

  • 40 years later and we still marvel, people making comments up to the second. 

  • Wow Zeppelin jammin before they had their stuff really down.....cool!

  • saying Zep can't play blues is like saying fish can't swim.

  • Legendary

  • you cant hear shit

  • Zeppelin refused performing in Woodstock admitting band is "too successful" for the festival.

  • @the13er Apparently they thought Woodstock wouldn't even happen. Can't blame them for thinking that though.

  • @the13er i think they were expecting around 35,000 at woodstock, and about 500,000 or something showed up. they didn't know us very well did they. i was living in san jose and can remember people asking me if i was going to woodstock. yah right i was only 13 and the concert was in new york.. then we moved to denver where i got to see them three years in a row starting in 1970. ... plant always talking to the audience.

  • @the13er For them to think they were more successful than Hendrix and The Who.......well....

  • @the13er if they did all those great performences would have been overshadowed by their awesomeness!!!

  • @the13er YThey performed at the newport jazz festval the next month bu the promoter thought the crowd was getting too agitated so he told them to tone it down by jamming on some blues.

  • @the13er in a way. peter grant said it was because "they'd just be another band in the lineup"

  • fuckin terrible, zepplin sucks at the blues.

  • @erasedbythesun wtf led zeppelin 1 was the best led zeppelin album, listen to the studio version of you shook me and say that again

  • @wotererio dude, what are you talking about? What in the hell does that crappy blues lick Page plays have anything to do with Zepplin 1. That album is awesome, but I think they suck at the blues and R&B.

  • @erasedbythesun LMAO

  • @wotererio Ok, Zepplin sucks at the blues.

  • @erasedbythesun dude fuck off zeppelin's nuts already, just admit you like them, it wont be akward

  • @erasedbythesun you suck at life

  • @Cincinnatus1869 really...in all your wisdom and awesome life that's all you can say. i think i've done pretty good for myself. i've never had a real job. after college, 1998, i started my own business and have been very successful, have a great family and everyting is good. money is ok, i have my cars, music and family...how does my life suck? let's hear your story.

  • @erasedbythesun sounds like you have evreything except a personality or a clue . good for you

  • @Cincinnatus1869 maybe i don't have the best personality. but, what don't i have a clue at?

  • @erasedbythesun ..how to conduct yourself like an adult who has accomplished the things you say you have accomplished . which , personally i think if you had actually done any of those things ,. you would not have time or any need to leave remarks on Zeppelin videos in hopes of inciting arguments . A man of your calibre shouldnt be desperate for attention , shoud he ?

  • @Cincinnatus1869 i don't know who you are. but you've got a long road ahead of you if you get your feelings hurt everytime someone makes a comment you don't agree with. go preach to someone else.

  • @erasedbythesun go leave your idiotic opinions somewhere else and you won't be subjected to mine

  • jimmy page sucks at the blues.

  • Comment removed

  • I was there, I was 15! So great to see the memory again!

  • this is not good ... to many plays in one...

  • I pushed my wat to the front of the stage saying, "My brother's had a heart attack", my bad!

  • I was there and it was unbelievably outstanding. Chicago was a big hit along with Janis Joplin (featuring Snookie Flowers, which Janis could hardly pronounce she was so toasted). Woodstock-lite, with about 3/4 of the artists from there appearing.

  • The real artist Robert Plant

  • When music was music, not the bullshit we hear today.

  • @Cash2112 In Lewisville.

  • Where in Texas was this pop festival held?

  • @ worldwidekillerz: Why so hacked up and what's the barbell in the middle of the screen?

  • Before they released LZ1?

  • I want long hair back for dudes in bands!

  • THIS IS FUCKEN RIDICULOUS !!! AND IT'S RARE !!!!!!!!

  • Zep rocked from the very beginning. They stampeded the continents and ravaged everything their way. Nobody was able to stop them. They knew they were great and original without having to prove it.

  • @lagunadeplata Then Grand Funk Railroad came along and put them in their place. Remember the story of how Zepp's manager, Peter Grant, had to stop Grand Funk from stealing Zepp's thunder at one of the shows in the States? Sure Zepp was a mighty band. So was Grand Funk Railroad.

  • @Dogdrum GFR was a prime example of a band with no material worthy of their talent .

  • @RisingSon011 Tell that to GFR. I thought, for a start, they had some of the finest riffs an American rock band could come up with, and they added the soul. When I was young, I looked up to them, Rare Earth, Allman Brothers Band, Deep Purple, and Led Zeppelin as the major rock influences. Yes, GFR was a top-notch group.

  • @Dogdrum I personally did not care much for very many American rock bands of that era . The Allmans were about as good as it got as far as The States were concerned in my opinion. I do know that GFR were good musicians and I have heard put on a good show show though

  • :O I didn't know there was any video of this concert! Personally, I think this is their definitive version of I Can't Quit You. Too bad there's not the whole song on here :/

  • alvin lee would blow jimmy away on guitar.

  • Comment removed

  • @merritt855 thats a matter of opinion . And the only reason you left that comment is because you hope someone will argue with you about it . Are you lonely ?

  • @RisingSon011 no actually that comment was about a month ago i forgot all about. as for being lonley,maybe? why dont u send your wife r girlfriend this way. and dumbass u did bite on my comment.

  • @merritt855 I'll send your sister right over .

  • I got to the show just as LZ was playing Dazed and Confused. What can't be well seen in the video is the screen behind the stage where they were projecting film and doing the required psychedelic light show. The film in the background was a long shot of a guy running in slooow motion through a field of tall flowers I think As the camera zoomed in on the guy's face you realized that this was a very lost and scared person. My first hit ever of acid was coming on right then. far fucking out man

  • where has this been ? ! Great footage man I love it . Thanks

  • Led zeppelin is so funny to watch live. Pagey loves to solo and plant has no clue what to do so he just makes noises on stage when page goes off on his long solos and if you ever seen some clearer videos you got bonzo in the back talking to himself while playing the drums hahaha gotta love led zeppelin.....

  • @Kdubb151 What's particularly strange is that even though sometimes indeed it looks like they have no clue what they are supposed to do because they have no idea where the others are going, they are still playing TOGETHER and amazingly, all pieces fit to make a whole.

  • I have the bootleg of this show. I love on that tour when they got introduced as "The Led Zeppelin".

  • i like the guy who goes WOO as dazed and confused is starting

  • Alvin Lee doesn't have half the creativity that Jimmy has....but then most guitarists don't.

  • Jimmy couldn't change Alvin Lee's guitar strings.

  • @Bigpolak57 I think Alvin Lee's a one trick pony. So there. If you don't like Zeppelin, go away. I like Zeppelin, and so, I'll stay.

  • that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

    but i thought Jimmy didn't play Les Pauls in 1969. i thought he played a tele

  • @Halfnewf95 He switched to the Les in 1969 (sometime in April I think).

  • @worldwidekillerz Jimmy Page switched to a Les Paul at the Filmore West gig in 1969 and he started using Marshall amps (I think it was a Vox amp he was using before)

  • @worldwidekillerz

    Your right!

    Look @ Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown and dazed and confused - 1969 france

  • @Halfnewf95 the first album was recorded largely with a Fender .

  • @Halfnewf95 FYI, Jimmy used the old Fender Telecaster from the genesis of the band in Sept. '68 into early '69, but it was becoming too ravaged and at the same time he discovered the Les Paul and Marshall amps. (Hence, "Whole Lotta Love".) But he still used the Tele occasionally thereafter, most notably on the "Stairway" solo. But he still retained its neck that was later joined to a new body/electronics that he used into the '80's with The Firm.

  • organic zeppelin. Awesome

  • Jimmy Page's sounds come from an another world.....greatest

  • the greatest of all......

  • that was awesome!!

  • This footage footage should deffinetly get realised.

  • É o guitarrista mais Rock'n'Roll dos anos 70 sem dúvida nenhuma. Na minha opinião o mais fabuloso guitarrista dentre os grandes. Nesse show me parece que ele rouba a cena...maravilhoso!!!!o cara tava impossível!!!!!!!!!

  • 2 retards! why dislike this?!

  • @xxLEDxxZEPPELINxx I guess it's not Justin Bieber. Too bad for those two kids.

  • @xxLEDxxZEPPELINxx Now, that's being disrespectful to retards.

  • @xxLEDxxZEPPELINxx cos it would suck if everyone had the same opinion.

  • JIMI PAGE DESBORDA TALENTO...SO TALENT!

  • At 3:30, they proved once again that they are the best band in history forever

  • @wholelottastairway8 it has to be the best few seconds of led zeppelin footage i've ever seen... it shows them as the intimate band they were, playing close to each other and transmitting incredible energy =D

  • shit,,,,this is what l call "Smoking the guitar" ... Best band of all times... they could play anything, any style and still put their own signatures on it.

  • My favorite guitarist, amongst tons of greats. My favorite singer, amongst tons of greats. My favorite dru..... well, you get the idea. :)

  • Awesome! Thanks for posting

  • O_O

  • Ya know? WHat happened to good ole music like this?? It is like all of a sudden, the bands pussified their performances into two hour robotic-like performances. Led Zeppelin never really was robotic-like. Same with Stephenwolf and so forth. THis is what inspires me to keep on rocking. Maybe one day it'll catch back on.;

  • @JustinPierce1226 A few words can explain, I think the main word being "greed". The record companies pushed music to the digital age from analog. Analog is and could have had surround sound revisions too.

  • @worldwidekillerz See? I would not go digital if I were a big star. I would not allow people to just download my music illegal or maybe through Itunes or something like that. And I would not charge a crap load for a ticket to my shows either. I would make it so everybody can come party XD

  • @JustinPierce1226 The record companies think people are stupid, that they wouldn't have figured out copying music from a cd to computer. They're killing themselves as far as I'm concerned. All they can do for now is rip each other off with "sampling" their own but mostly other people's music.

  • @worldwidekillerz You hit it. Robotic. The people of the times are flippin' digitalized morons with no place to go but to the unemployment lines. If the devil himself appeared the average moron today would sit there and look for his resume'.

  • @JustinPierce1226

    Never were two Zeppelin performances ever the same. And except for a period where Jimmy was too wrapped up in heroine, for the most part their live performances were equal to, or better...in many cases much better...than the studio versions.

  • pity ol Planty cant sing like this anymore.......you has your fun, you smoke yur smoke, you drink yur drink, you stoke yur coke, you spread yur seed.................Fuckin ell, its the voice I need.....good on you perce, you made history. X

  • @misterbracks It is his birthday today. He is now 62 years old.

  • @worldwidekillerz umm i think he meant a rools royce automobile there, buddy

  • @dlm9293 Oh my ok I see lol my bad, but who knows how much instruments can cost. I think Jason Bonham refers to that incident in the VH1 documentary. Bonzo wanted to test drive a Rolls and the salesman said something like , "Sir do you realize how much this car costs" and that pissed Bonzo off. Apparently Bonzo was dressed in a white t shirt and jeans so it didn't look like he could afford a Rolls Royce.

  • Wow, what a time capsule. Pretty cool stuff.

  • Do you remember how stoned we got there?

  • the first song was i cant quit you babe not you shook me

  • @PinkZeppelin44 Yep I wrote that in the description. That is an error of whoever edited the video.

  • This video is NOT at the Texas Pop Festival 1969. They started their set in Lewisville, in the late afternoon, probalby around 4:00pm. It was slightly overcast, which was a relief after all the heat had cooked us in previous days, but their set ended before sunset. It was still light out. Also, John Bonham was playing a black set of Ludwig's in Texas, and I don't think he had the 26" kick, yet.He didn't get the big maple set till Carmine Appice helped connect him with the Ludwig endorsement deal

  • @jakeboy2000 The Texas International Pop Festival was in Lewisville.

  • holy crap!! i love VH1 LEGENDS.. thats how i found abt this rare bootleg.. audio is really good ..surprised.. thanks for posting this!!!!!

  • 0:45

    Killswitch! lol

  • Orca's love Tuna's!!!))))~>>>>

  • this is the tour that bonzo bought his first rolls, from a dumbass salesman that thought he couldnt afford it. "Hsst! peter quick, give me 85 grand." bonzo paid in cash.

    -

    BONZO is the hammer of the gods. RIP.

  • @muga69 thats one of my favourite things about bonzo hahahaha quick! give me 85 grand!

  • Jimmy Page's guitar tone is PERFECT in this festival o_o

  • woodstock?

  • @Mr8bitgamer About 2 weeks after.

  • wasnt this their firs u.s show?

  • @juggHERnutt Nowhere near dude, by this point in time they probably had most of LZ II finished.

  • Absolutely Awesome! Thanks for this ultra rare footage from one of Zeppelin's best documented shows of 1969.

    Paneeks/Boston

  • I have this entire bootleg. Great performance by Led Zeppelin! How Many More Times is outstanding, & proves how great Jimmy Page was! Train Kept A Rollin' is awesome as well.

  • Oh my fucking god.

    Thank you.

  • Who needs Ambien when you can listen to this?

    It's enough to put anyone into a Rip Van Winkle coma.

  • Bonham goes straight tomatoes in How Many More Times; well pass BANANA'S!!!......

  • awesome, thanks! audio's great

  • NO WAY..IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS!!

  • man where the fuck from u get this shit?! so rare, so cool! great bro

  • Glad I was a part of this Texas history....1969

  • Tremendous footage mate!

    Truly amazing stuff

  • that is the robert i always hoped to listen!!

  • WOW!! THIS....IS.....AWESOME!!!

  • This is a fucking great surprise. Thank you Very fucking much for posting this. This goes to my favs immediately.

  • Oi! You're fucking welcome mate! :D

  • @vivelavidarocka You got a very big flying Fucking problem. I'll send over Paulie 'Fuckin' Walnuts Godfuckingdammit!

  • @rhythmcorp Fuggetaboutit...!!

  • Holy F---ing Sh---!!!!!!

  • I agree

  • I'm totally amazed they didn't include this on the DVD package...they had it in the vaults-they even showed a bit in the Led eppelin Behind the Music...

  • @garbeaj The VH1 Story of Led Zeppelin yes. This was the original "TSRTS" documentary.

  • You are absolutely right-'The Story of Led Zeppelin' is exactly what it was...It would have been nice to at least have this restored on one of the menus like they did with the 'Listen To This,Eddie' L.A. '77 footage...

  • nice footage

  • This is pure gold, gotta love the vest, best rock band ever, so crazy and full of energy at this age. thx so much for sharing. R.I.P. Bonzo.

  • This is ridiculously rare!

  • @razorman916 Well, sorry. The fact that this has been circulating in one way or another since the 80's and it is widely found in bootleg compilation DVD's (more specifically found in one you ripped this off: Film Noir), does not make it "ridiculously rare" at all.

  • I guess you replaced soundtrack with bootleg "Texas Pop Festival"? ;)

  • wheres the ful video

  • I suposed that nowhere.

  • Yep,

    Thats pretty much how I remembered it looking

  • Unbelievable that this exists

  • Its i can't quit you then it jumps to dazed and confused you can see how the light changes and the bass starts . anyway I was there it was cool aand takes me right back. this is the second time I saw them .they player Houston 6 mo. earlier

  • That sounds like "You Shook Me" to me. Oh Well.

  • It's not "You Shook Me". That just wouldn't make sense because "I Can't Quit You Baby" is the second song in the setlist of that show, with Dazed And Confused following of course and the remaining songs of course.

  • if only they were at woodstock!! I heard they were asked but turned it down.

  • That's true, they turned it down because Woodstock was so unorganized lol. Nobody even knew if Woodstock was going to happen but I guess this concert was more organized.

  • well i know that they tunred down woodstock becasue they had another gig that owuld pay more but after seeing how big it was every festival after that they were invited to they played

  • hey pasa el concierto amigo ponlo en alguna pajina para descargarlo wau vidos ineditos geniales

  • incredible. this dallas pop gig is one of their grea
