Led Zeppelin - No Quarter live in Dallas 3-5-75 (8) pt 1

[pazure]

There is a Herbie Hancock jazz piano tune done in 1962 called "Alone and I". At about the 2:59 point in the song, Hancock does a piano run up that seems to inspire what John Paul Jones ended up doing as his piano solo in the original studio version of No Quarter (3:45 ->). So JPJ was truly a musical aficionado, and even enjoyed listening to jazz. Brilliant.

[PieceofMindmusic]

I think its interesting that the current top comment has 42 likes AND mentions the wild 4:20 second of this song. Like, whoa man.

[flyvibe71]

3 dislikes? i'm just gonna assume those people were mentally challenged, and they simply made a mistake. cause this is sooooooo damn awesome!

[bill4long]

JPJ! giving me shivvers

[666Grimmy666]

Do you understand why Zeppelin was a Supergroup now? Do you? Bonham was a beast of a drummer, Plant was the most unique vocalist, and Page was the greatest guitar song writer-sound wizard studio engineer ever. Everyone always talks about Jones simply as being under the radar holding everything together, but if you listen to this piano solo you hear why he was ultra talented. ZEPPELIN CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT JOHN PAUL JONES' MASTERY.

[joemi1966]

@666Grimmy666 They ALL brought something to the table.

[suhaas307]

@666Grimmy666 Sir, the term Supergroup holds an entirely different meaning. that said, Led Zeppelin is quite the 'super' group. This song holds a very special place in my heart. That heavy bass-line tugs onto a particular string in my head and the vibrations resonate in my skull and find their way through my body, tingling its way to the tip of every finger and toe. Plant's voice is unreal, in the studio version. When he screams into a tune, towards the end. It gets me every time.

[iKilledYiou]

SATANIC ! AND GREATEST SONG EVER ! YEAH !



[burningtoavange]

@iKilledYiou dude i dknow if its satanic but keeps me rolling

[iKilledYiou]

@burningtoavange it is satanic man.

[RisingSon011]

if any rock band today threw down a 15 minute classical piano jam in the middle of their set they would be looked upon a presumptuous and arrogant , even self indulgent . Zeppelin had the skills alright . Imrov was their way of saying "we are not your puppets ,we are skilled musicians ,and we will play what we want when we want , and do it the way we feel like doing it on this particular evening . "

[oddbumbles]

Greatest band ever.

@pamelahl1 thousand times like

[hockeytruth]

Why do you place a picture of that retard dennis leery in the video?

[ledzeppelin4304]

the best!!!!!

[JohnyeWest83]

Two deaf people rated this based on the video alone.

[Tony63909]

The sound is exceptional!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDatsyukian]

Ever since i picked up there Album "Mothership" i've been hooked to everything about these guys.

[tonecommanders]

I saw this concert 16 years old, still have the ticket stub. So happy to have seen this incredible band in their prime.

[TrainHogger]

@tonecommanders you are right...the best..and do you remember if Bonhams drums were loud

[FarmGiraffe]

I love this :D I actually thought up a music video for it :D

[VidyaSangeet]

@FarmGiraffe Do it!! i wanna see :D

[Zeppelintroll69]

Better then SEX..

[matty47ful]

Boy, am I glad I was raised during these times; smoking columbian gold, shrooms...led zeppelin. Sorry for you young rockers, those days are gone, but the music will last forever!

[jamo387]

@matty47ful I'm afraid the kind of freedom Americans enjoyed back then are gone along with the great music. Different country now...

[alwaysbeT17black]

I was there! School night, Mom let me drive 200 miles to see. Still have ticket. Religious experience for 17 year old rock and rolla! Unreal

[andy477]

@alwaysbeT17black you r lucky git ;)

[jjp4mma]

Damn, this is the BEST sh1t EVER!

[waltbohan]

I got to see Led Zeppelin twice and Jimmy Page with the Firm. Page was excellent at the second Zeppelin concert but man this is one of his best...and John Paul Jones...what can I say? This is when bands with real improvising skills could actually fill a stadium. They fed off the crowd.

[SheepOfVengeance]

Born in 1959, I was a little young at the very beginning to realize what all was going on with Led Zeppelin, but it didn't take long.

Man, I remember this song blasting from the 8-track player....

I was lucky to hear it then. And I'm lucky to hear it now. There are the more quiet, melodic parts, and also the full bore, full-speed-ahead rock-and-roll thunderousness where, in my opinion, you get the feeling of what it was like back then, and maybe, just maybe, a glimpse of the soul of Led Zep.

[ExpensiveSnow]

@SheepOfVengeance What? "62".

[DjTaras1979]

excellent

[DjTaras1979]

Excellent!!!

[nat00ben06]

usually there's bands that have great chemistry and their decent muscians and all and their good say like REM, ya know their a good band and have some good songs. Then there's a whole nother level where there's great chemistry and great muscianship like fucking supreme, that's when you have Zep and Floyd.

[VUPdingCLICK]

fuckin' masterpiece.......sabbath and purple were good -but zep,well what can you say? WOW!!!!

[Progrose]

Led Zepplin=4 perfect musicins. Thank goodness JP Jones gets recognition here. How many master musicians within a band remained together to the end, without major ego fights?? Zepplin is just the perfect union of musicians ever assembled together. Thanks for the memories...

[bws1971]

Led. Fucking. Zeppelin. Is there any question these guys defined the '70s? And is there any question the '70s defined rock?

[zzy66613]

LED ZEPPELIN The Great

[cityman2171]

my dad was at this exact concert. Im so gelous

[RiaBassChick]

God, John Paul Jones is so cute...

I love this song so much.

[ogrebattle22763]

Excellent version..... Great audio also...

[goldiecob]

JPJ amazing keys on this best version that I've heard awesome improv

does he play a thermin or a rhodes?

[IntwatPapsmir]

Casio.

[ameleeya]

amazing live performance and piano part

[foomantx2008]

I think this is the show my older brother bought tix to way in advance and forgot about the show and missed it...

[PAULOcbi]

this is where Bonzo gets a break and does a line of blow backstage

[vbb123]

@PAULOcbi When they were rehearsing I bet the other 3 were saying 'yeah John, we do No Quarter and then you should totally do a 20 min solo jam on piano, it would be brilliant. You'd be great.

'What will we be doing? Oh, err....you know....just pop backstage for a bit, er.....just...freshen up....er....and so on...okay yeah?'

[daejasrockin]

Damn...I know this doesn't compare but I missed Guns N Roses with Aerosmith in the 80's. I bet your brother was pissed.

[foomantx2008]

He still kicks himself about it.

Another missed show...he and I and another friend missed KISS in the early 70's after spending the entire day of the show working on an old beater to drive to Tulsa instead of riding with other friends. We had a blow-out at a high speed and were nearly hit by an 18 wheeler, finally got to Tulsa and the show had just ended. We were so bummed.

[IntwatPapsmir]

It's all relative, but here's my 2cent's worth...

1995, VaBeach, my wife and I stopped by the library and checked the Internet (hey, not everyone had a PC back then!), saw that Blue Oyster Cult was playing Stone Mountain in Georgia (awesome venue)that night... or so we thought. Hopped a plane on the spur of the moment, landed in ATL, took a taxi to Stone Mountain... just as B.O.C was FINISHING THE LAST SONG (OD'd On Life Itself) OF THEIR 3:00 P.M. SET. Got a taxi, flew, got home in Va by 7:00.

[sevdrummin]

@IntwatPapsmir its a shame that now boc is playing ridiculous gigs there's a festival in my town of population 40,000 and they played a gig and about 300 people showed up TONS of empty seats and when buck dharma left the stage to go get a beer not a single person approached him. none the less they sold 14million albums so who gives a shit haha

[aodan19]

@foomantx2008 - ahh dude that sucks man; missing out on an epic show like that... but still you guys were lucky to have music like that back then... the shit we have now is pitiful and pathetic... i wish i grew up in the late 60's dude.. oh well, thank GOD for youtube right? lol

[thementebr54]

the best no quarter version ever!!!!!

[Brando2600]

idk, I like the TSRtS version better

[enlightening]

Jonesy is the man!

[zeplynrulz]

~c==3

[SLObarrels]

Incredible talent from all 4, they are the best ever past present & future, they will never be equaled.

[Jimmy666Saite]

thats sooooooooooo great!!!

amazing ...they are the best !!! ...fuck the rest...

[GregERobertson]

yeah . . what gets me is that after all these classic rock stations do homage with get the led out and stuff like that; then comes the modern rockers with the madatory metallica, no offense to metallica; but compared to Zep, they are, like evryone else, nobody. Metallica are worthy to tie zeps shoe laces but never to honored like zep . .

[Jitpring]

"Metallica are worthy to tie zeps shoe laces but never to honored like zep . . "

Good one.

[GregERobertson]

yeah . . I think I have them tying Sabbath's shoe laces too some where . .

[brandontylerkaiser]

thermin ayyyy?

[714hr]

this and songs like in the light,ten years gone,rain song,kashmir,going to clifornia are the songs that set them apart not any of that blues stuff they covered that was revolutionary but this is what makes them the best

[chromezeppelin]

led zeppelin makes every other band its bitch.i mean maybe a couple are in the same league, but damn. this is incredible

[inanehemorrhoid]

holy shit!!!! i love the piano that comes in after all the high pitched noises at 4:20.

my god, this band was fucking awesome. i still don't get how people these days listen to the shit music mainstream artists are spewing out (rap, hip hop, etc.). this is the greatest music of all fucking time!!!

[GregERobertson]

high pitched noise was a Theramin, usually used on horror films. . .get one at your local musical instrument store. . . they even have a Jimmy Page model . .

[psychicwhoosh]

I forgot Page used the Theremin. I suddenly got a flashback from The Song Remains the Same film of him using it when I read your comment and it made me smile. Thanks.

[zetetic0void]

Beach Boys also used it on "Good Vibrations"

Still, Jimmy Page used it a lot in Dazed and Confused where it acquired a very interesting primal sound and expression that is one of the more interesting uses of that strange instrument.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@inanehemorrhoid the high pitched noise is jimmy page on the theramin, a sound device that eminates high pitched electronic sound waves, the beach boys used it on Good Vibrations and Zep also used it on Whole Lotta Love!!!

[Bing42]

@inanehemorrhoid watch?v=VyZnvRwYn7k

[Jimmy666Saite]

everything is a journey^^

thats right...

i supposed robert was on a trip as he wrote those lyrics

[brandontylerkaiser]

he wrote them on trip through kashmir actually he said it on a bootleg once

[Licioppelin]

ooh  thats is so suggesting

[scarfacedan09]

This has gotta be one of the best sounding Zep bootleg i have heard in a long time!

[homersimpsonucf]

I would imagine that this is the song you hear on your way through the gates of heaven...JPJ, what more needs to be said?

[Zeppiland]

this is the shit, i got the '75 bootlegs. the best no quarter was at the song remains the same for sure.

[jimmypagesguitar]

where i can find this version?

[jimmypagesguitar]

damn genius

[sharrer2]

JPJ is purely amazing.

[jdg62269]

Completely different performance of this song from the previous night, but an absolute flawless one. This is why Led Zeppelin was and still are, the Greatest Band to ever exist. No one even close. All four elements are perfect.

[gnrledzep4eva]

well said :-)

[okandah]

this seriously is one of the greatest concert ever,

john paul jones is a monster, to me one of the greatest pianst ever

what can i say man? led zeppelin never ever lets me down

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@okandah saw zeppelin this same year in chicago on jan 21, 1975, at old chicago stadium. did this song and it was awesome!!! jpj on the piano was outstanding, and the green fog flowing off the stage and plant emerging doing the vocals was so

cool!!! ahh, those were the days when going to a concert was an EVENT!!!!!

[Thorstie32]

"This is another track about a journey

The whole thing is a journey, right? Everything!

As you walk in, as you walk out, as you gotta' sleep

...as you move on down the road"

IT IS!

[richaldred]

what can u say about led zep still the greatest band i ever heard and seen does any body have seattle 1977 no quarter jimmy really jams on that one
