*Rare* Led Zeppelin The Wanton Song rehearsal

[Livefeed]

It's Jonesy distorted Clavient that does it foe me on this version. Think of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". It's around the same year as well. Jonesy copied the sound but Jimmy waited until "Trampled Underfoot" to steal the riff.



[ninedead]

how could anybody "dislike" this!!! i crave more!!!

[KJEllwein]

This is groove and funk and rock defined!

[SoAPyiLLuSiONn666]

[SoAPyiLLuSiONn666]

@TheMullerFan in that case, my hospital bill is gonna be a couple billion dollars

[mikeeagle68]

[sonicprimitive]

What's that little ending bit?

[daviejtube95]

@sonicprimitive take me home

[EdMahoney19]

I like this. Some good boogie man. These guys had style. Even their preps were great.

[caesarcerf]

[bunnygal079]

\m/ groovy

[ThrashRoC]

Led Zeppelin , The Hammer Of the Gods

[jdbrown371]

Awesome. Raw live sound. Brilliant guitar, drums.

[lola9343]

I could stay and drink a few more rounds if I heard this in the pub. Of course they're would have to be chicks. Whoof.

[stargate669]

@lola9343 how long have you had a chicken fetish?

[tilestyles]

@MrLaberryhi It worked!

[caesarcerf]

Page didn't start with the jack until 1975.

[dawggybonz]

@caesarcerf please explain

[Seanwashere6]

Nice job, I have a few rare boots on my page as well

[happymonkey229]

[TheKuzcooo]

Groovier than the album version

[zevon1964]

This is really tremendous, thanks

[jckchrstphr]

Did he install a spring in his guitar? B-Bender Tele? Really bouncy. It sounds like a tele or a strat. Wonder if he used different guitar during practice.

[z1inspector]

HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT was that song at the end of this rehersal?

sounds awsome/dont think its the same song?

[steffsweet45]

led zeppelin can really give all their recording magic to jimmy page and john paul jones because at the very start they knew all the tricks of recording because of their past

[cadkins100]

so pagey i love it

[DustinEagle13]

I am "Wanton" to know where you got this! It's amazing!

[Sandwitchloord]

WoooooooW lol.

[nuggbubbler]

houses of the holy shit! this sounds better than the studio track, for fucks sake!!!!!

[dimi409]

very interesting!

[perro123q]

¡can someone upload the studio version of this song please ?=)

[TheBob777]

The studio version was uploaded until stupid WMG removed the audio. This is raw Zeppelin!

[perro123q]

=( fuck wmg

[mjkwyo]

music

[bunnygal079]

*raises devil horns* this rocks

[caesarcerf]

the WHOLE of in the jungle sounds like wanton song!

[ILLUMANOV]

slash ripped off this riff for welcome to the jungle listen to the end

[volumepast10]

slash didnt rip this off

[Ravenite1]

not that I'm defending Slash, But Welcome To The Jungle is a descending riff, while The Wanton song riff just hits an octave

Unless your talking about the descending part D, C, B, A# riff? cause everyone was using that shit back then... I dunno man it just seems so far off..

[shtstirrer]

i agree... if you count only the first five or six records (depending if u like houses of the holy)

things started to slip with presence and in through the out door with page's heroin addiction

the last two albums aren't anywhere near as good as the ones preceding it

[snowman121787]

that's awesome...haha, i don't think i've ever heard it described like that...i'll have to quote you on that sometime. i agree they were amazing, especially in that era, rock on dude.

[fdoric6]

Question for the musoe's out there.

One thing that has always puzzled me, is why great bands such as Led Zepplin, Queen and Deep Purple for example, persisted in line ups with only one rhythym/lead guitar, which often detracts from the replication of many/some numbers at live performances, leaving them thin or hollow.(in my opinion).

[FRAFPDD]

its more the traditional rock abnd image to have one gutiarist, and they play the rhythm parts overdubbed anyway so you still usually get the fulls ong

[fdoric6]

Thanks for the response.

[TheBob777]

Well that's why I like Jimmy Page because he blends rhythym/lead together when he plays live so it doesen't feel hollow.

[fdoric6]

With respect, no matter how good you are, you cannot make up for a second guitar. I f you record a song in the studio with 2 guitars and then perform it live with one--its gonna sound thin--it has to.

This is not about LZ, its about this tendency. There is a live performance of black night by DP on Utube. RB is a great guitarist but the song still misses the second guitar. Its not about egos and the purists, its about the quality of sound at a live performance for the fans.

[Jsmith42754]

Its not about one or two guitars. Its about music. Its awesome, so be quiet while led zeppelin is playing. You should not crtique them just thank good that they recorded music for us to hear.

[fdoric6]

Ha--Its about the music, but not about the instruments?

[Ravenite1]

I agree and disagree, ten years gone was played in 77 and sounded thin because of the missing background guitars and harmony... But on the other hand, well thought EQ can make up for a missing guitar as long as the instruments are full and locked together...

[nuggbubbler]

@Ravenite1

... and provided Jimmy didn't inject too much heroin before the show.

[riec0123]

You're absolutely right about that. If you overdub 2 guitars, there's really no perfect way to redo it live. I personally think a band with a single guitarist should just record a song with a single dub.

That being said, Zeppelin's studio sound is awesome. And their live sound was awesome, but in a different way. Not too many groups could pull it off like them.

[fdoric6]

I think I might be thinking TOO out aloud--or maybe I just listened to too much Slade.

Who am I not to be satisified with awesome? : )

[riec0123]

No, you bring up a good point. It's simply not possible for one guitar player to accurately reproduce the amount of overdubs that Jimi used. I've often thought, that he went a bit crazy with it.

[LedZeppelinGuy6880]

they wanted to show today's bands that they didnt need 2 or 3 guitarists.

[DELACRUX15]

No. Page said that he wanted to add another guitarist later in the band's career but that it wouldn't look right on stage.

[HittoVie]

what if this is a FAKE?!

[CallMeTheHunter]

this rules

[CallMeTheHunter]

i love the wanton song's guitar solo. absolutely love it. gotta be one of the best jimmy page compositions

[georgemasiello]

"sounds tinny but its not"

WTF does that mean?

[MonkeyKong21]

it means that it doesn't sound woody like "GOOOOORRRRRRNNnnn"

[mjkwyo]

Jump a bird and love life!~

[danperoz]

how is he getting that incredible sound from his guitar?

sounds tinny but its not.

[MISSEDHERSIR]

jimmy will put a collection together. but only when his bank

account dips between a few billion. hang in there.

[lordjj44]

robert sounds amazing

[jacabeth]

i would like to hear a "sick again" rehearsal

[JackHasNiceHair]

i love the sound of the guitar

[brianxeneixe]

IS very cool. thanks for this.

[KENVAIL]

seems to me led zeppelin could do an alternate takes collection or something, why not, there's a demand for it.

[SteelersFreak108]

I'm betting that they will eventually, kind of like The Beatles did with the Anthology stuff

[82308lindsey]

hope they dont die before I can buy this

[mdelair420]

i feel you but this would be hard to find unless they release it to record companys lol peace out

[TheCannabisKing]

Plant said he will likely never do work as led zeppelin again, he stated that he does not want to "tour like a bunch of bored old men following the Rolling Stones around." besides, im sure they've already done that.

[Link0t]

yeah i read that article, i couldn't believe Plant said that though, especially the "bogus" tickets part. I was hurt that he responded that way to Page, Bonham, and Jones like that in public :(

sounds like his ego's grew... (read the article, for those who want to flame me right away) I still love him though

[z1inspector]

yea !!thats what i been saying

& a few live shows showcasing "othr zep stuff" for the real fans.

NO whole lotta love,but instaed "the rover"

no dased & confused but "in the light"

THEN WE CAN ALL DIE SATISFIED

throw in some new stuff that the boys(minus plant)have worked on already(last year)(big news),plant WILLhave a looksee. its gonna happen ,i pray

AMEN,

can i geta amen?

[jablaza13]

a fucken men brother

[climsterable]

@KENVAIL Isn't that what the album Coda was about?

[iamrwg2u]

@KENVAIL I just noticed your most excellent comment about the Zeppelin "alternate takes" recording collection/compilation idea, kind of like The Beatles did some few years back. And, you're absolutely correct in stating the given fact that, of course, there will always be demand for more, versions, rehearsals, jam sessions, studio out-takes, behind-the-scenes, the rare and previously unreleased & the never heard before stuff, anything, just supply us with more of what we cannot get enough of

[CreativeCritisizm]

A very advanced sounding song of its time recorded about 1974, it was a premiere gem off that album, always reminds me of playing with Matchbox & Hotwheels cars,& as for that other ditty they were tinkering with at the end, I think they should have recorded it to, maybe I will,, just love basement tapes !

[ePhilosopher]

window of opportunity, mark my word, fffluffashuffle

[ravenshire43]

Anybody recognize what song that is that they go into after the end of Wanton Song?

[samuelshepard]

its just improvisation off the wanton song.

[ePhilosopher]

royal orleans

[ravenshire43]

As always, Bonham's drumming is unique and gives the song a funky punch.

[JUD97]

believe my fire needs a brand new flame...and the wheels roll on,........... rolls..........on

[downvan77]

Dude I was hoping for video! This is cool though. I bought a bootleg album back in like 87' called Tangible Vandalism (synonym for physical graffitti) which had outtakes from the rehearsals. I'm wondering if you got the same one. Basdass shit! It was a cool replica of the graffiti album. I need to get me a record player!

[z1inspector]

yea dude post somea that & let me know!!!!!!!

[mikrrrrrrr]

wanton song take 3 do a short change up after second solo then back to main riff it sounds cool

[bonzo3231]

sounds awesome really rare stuff long live zeppelin bonham is one of the greatest physical graffiti is one of the greatest albums it's an album that fits well with summer to in my opinion
