Led Zeppelin Knebworth 1979 - No Quarter Part 1

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

John Paul Jones, you are so inspirational, talented, and amazing. Unfortunatly as a bass player you tend to be left out, which i go through, but you are not forgotten and you are just an epic multi-instrumentalist.

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

@agskater1914, he is totally WINNING

[agskater1914]

According to Charlie Sheen's words, John Paul Johns is totally WINNING

[JohnAllanification]

is this the 4th or the 11th?

[TrafficMind10]

@JohnAllanification 11th

[JohnAllanification]

@TrafficMind10  check.

[charger4079]

The best version is Live in San Diego ,March 14,1975.The concert is called 'Conspiracy Theory'.PLEEEZE trust me-the whole show is JUST F#@KING AMAZING.CHECK IT out!

[peonyification]

ジョンジーくん＾＾

I can't remember how he play so I watch DVD again and again...

[Waiting7up]

according to me the best no quarter version is TSRTS version

[FcBarcaman1193]

@Waiting7up No dude trust me it isn't the best version of no quarter (in my opinion) is one that I head from a 75' or 77' and It was probably one of the greatest things i've ever heard, I heard it two weeks ago , and to this day im still looking for it, it was AWESOME

[Waiting7up]

@FcBarcaman1193

accordign to me, the TSRTS version is psychedelic, mystic !

[FcBarcaman1193]

@Waiting7up it is 0.o but if you like the more classical pieces that one is better lol

[Waiting7up]

@FcBarcaman1193

you're in the right, it's just an opinion!

Led zeppelin are the best!

[yellingelk]

Just like George Harrison in the Beatles was overshadowed by the other two... so too is the story with JPJ. He had a hell of a lot to do with how Zep sounded. He was never given the credit he deserved for his studio contributions with arrangements and so forth. For instance, he practically put the track 'Black Dog' together on his own, but not a lot of people know that. Because Page, as brilliant as he was, was also a control freak!

[luisfrios]

I like the piano in this version, but I still like it better with the Rhodes...

[bwokopete]

@luisfrios This take is with a Yamaha CP-70 "B"...somewhat rare...The "quivering" sound is probably done with a Maestro Phase Shifter set fairly fast....John was the REAL brains of this crew!...

[bwokopete]

@luisfrios Oh....and just listened to the original and the keyboard is a Wurlitzer 200 elec. piano ,not a Rhodes...Very much alike...Listen to about ANY Supertramp effort and you'll probably hear one.....John rules!!!

[LedHeadTillDeath]

Oh my God, I wish those last two minutes would go on forever!

[JustinPierce1226]

This band is the best. They inspired Queens of THe STone Age and The Foo Fighters and Nirvana and Metallica and Kiss, and The Eagles, and Heart( OBVIOUSLY), They Inspired Ozzie a bit as well. They Inspired Queen a bit, Rage Against The Machine, Van Halen, Eric Clapton (He openly admits being inspired by page), The Beatles, and I could keep going. So! The next time you listen to your favorite band, thank Led Zeppelin. Because without these gods, they would not exist. :) I Win!

[DavidVIIIcool]

@JustinPierce1226 Zeppelin influenced everybody that came after them, undoubtebly the greatest ever, but man they didnt influence the beatles. The beatles were no longer really a functioning unit by the time zeppelin 1 came out haha.

[JustinPierce1226]

@DavidVIIIcool Lol this is true. John Lennon has been quoted stating that he wasnt sure about the rest of them, but his self and McCartney were amazed by how raw Led Zeppelin was. They were "The band that would inflict deep sensations of wanting more". So at least two of the Beatles were influenced lol. I should be more specific I guess :)

[PlatinumJestar]

Can't believe some people think that the Tool cover is better...or think thats it's a good cover in general

[LedZeppRox13]

the real musician in led zeppelin.

[IYAMNI]

Check out JPJ's new band, Them Crooked Vultures. You can see their whole Austin City Limits performance at the ACL official site.

[poussyledzep]

awesome perf jonesy!!!

[goldiecob]

JPJ - the real glue that held zeppelin together

[UnforgivenVideo]

@goldiecob I appreciate when he turned to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at the induction to the Hall of Fame and said, "I thought you lost my phone number."

[zorbatheok]

@goldiecob page made the band what it was

[BambooShadowGER]

0:49 he's shaking his head cause plant's coming in too early?!??!

[ARFF2690]

yea man i think so

[717mienbao]

Just shows ya Zep was a sum of their parts...not just Page/Plant.

[86darkhorse]

As Page said, when the four came together they took on a fifth element. Very powerful music.

[RockRampage74]

What a musician is John Paul, eh?

[wisdomstar1981]

john paul was and is a great musician.

[ledzepfavre4]

musicians oftn shake their head just because their getting into the music....he doesnt have to be saying no to anything.

and those first two instrumental verses arent always played live....i think it sounds cool w/o them here!

[DavidVIIIcool]

@ledzepfavre4 never heard another time withuout the instrumental verses

[XDentinhos]

Great improvisation by JPJ.I had never heard him improvise before,and I must say I just felt stunned.I mean,he gets into a part where it justs sounds like you're in those 50´s bars listening to jazz pianists.And the fact that he plays this song with a a piano and not with a keyboard just makes it so much more bluesy.Page really didn't put up much of a show that night,but I think Jonesy compensated the fans for that.

[RockRampage74]

Definitely how I felt when I watched this show

[lttldrummerboy]

why is jpj shaking his head "no" when Plant starts singing at the beginning?

[890phil890]

cause u suck

[lttldrummerboy]

Hey douche bag, your 21 and you can't even come up with a good come back let alone an answer to my question.

[dhaid92]

maybe plant came in sooner than jpj wanted him to... i personally think jpj deserves a little bit more time for some kind of solo...

[lttldrummerboy]

Actually I think he is mad because in the album version Page and Bonham have two instrumental verses that come in before Plant.

[markpen23]

He came in to early

[musicshake]

he was just getting into the music....feeling it and loving it

[zep4141]

Plant had a s----y haircut. What happen to 1969-1973 hair?

[dylanstew15]

you think this hair is bad? go to their website and look at their photos from the europe tour in 1980.....the hair he has there is just a disgrace...lol

[zep4141]

I guess I will always remember them as the drug-induced worlds most famous Rock $ Roll band. His Europe "pony cut" just didn't "cut' it. lolol

[anxieanxie]

eh... at 2:35 i could swear that JPJ was about slip into SOS by ABBA.......

[estoyaqui85]

noooo way (i listened to the damn song JUST in case)

[brandontylerkaiser]

joonsey looked up at plant like cough cough this isnt the second verse

[lttldrummerboy]

when?

[vbb123]

What I still can't believe is that with all the money he must have had, John Paul Jones's hair is still so bad! He looks like he's wearing a furry bike helmet

[thelegend123able]

jonesy was the backbone even if they lost him zep wuld never be zep nobody culd do what jonesy did

[Zeppelin350]

Plant has wrong

[ilikepie33445]

one of my favorite led zeppelin song

[rowdyroady]

Saw this live in Aug '79...awesome

[ayanochann]

Robert Plant forever it does not matter the piano...without plant no way......I love you Robert is dificult to sing...much more playing......

[TheToneKid]

All four of them made Led Zeppelin.. it wasn't just Plant. So yes, without the piano it wouldn't be the same.

[dpwhoaerozep]

john paul jones took classical piano lessons, i believe

[QuickSilverStalin]

He did

[ludwigvan17]

This version of "No Quarter" belonged to John Paul Jones.

[PlatinumJestar]

All versions of "No Quarter" belong John paul Jowns

[jobasbass]

this is easily the coolest video ive ever seen. all the commentors get along wich is very rare, on lame arguments

[firesmell]

you are rifght but some thinks that jpj had formal music training.did jpj had any training?

[JFguitar22]

yes he did......at keyboards

[concertoldham]

his father was a professional pianist so jpj learned at a young age

[amazonboobs]

simply riveting performance. led zep live was poetry in motion.

[simon4step]

her her

[CrackedBananas]

JPJ's solo in this is absolutely amazing... my gosh, the four of them together = easily the best rock band ever.

[brandontylerkaiser]

amazing makes me think of the world as we no it

[333855799]

BALDWIN lol not JONES

[guitarwithlegs]

this is my favorite solo from jones that i have herd so far... i wish it wen on longer

[4334surf]

I just had to reiterate THEY STILL FRIGGIN ROCK ,can I get an AMEN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[CrackedBananas]

Amen! :D

[PlatinumJestar]

amen

[QuickSilverStalin]

amen!

[4334surf]

Hendrix explored the guitar , Clapton revised the Guitar ,But Zepplin,,,THEY JUST FRIGGIN ROCKED,,,Its what they knew,It's what they did,It's why we listen,,,,AND IT STILL FRIGGIN ROCKS TODAY .

[333855799]

that piano solo really gets to you

great solo

[JFguitar22]

John Paul Jones is a genius ....hes one of the best musician in the rock an roll history

[zdogy1]

litt;e did they know they only had a yr or less left as the greatest act ever

[wisdomstar1981]

what a great piano solo.

[eugeniocarvalhido]

JPJ was a teclist. He learned bass because when he wanted to enter a band in his school and he must know bass or drums, and he thought bass was much more easy than drums so here we have :D

[eugeniocarvalhido]

Sorry for my bad english

[1xXLedZeppelinXx1]

haha i love JPJ`s face when robert comes in to early at 0:47

[vitospataffo]

this isn' t conventional music...

[eden12345]

WoW,when I seeing that I'm saying:"How bad that jhon paul jones had to be a bass player,he got an amazing touch on the keybords!!!"

[A18xOnDaTube]

he's one of the best multi instrument talented musicians in the world.

[manysons]

Peace and many blessings to JPJ.

[jebusestaencamino]

eccentric richard,sos un estupido con todas las letras(you are a stupid with all the letters)como podes decir eso?(Since you prune to say it?)

[MikeGrains]

By far the best performance of Knebworth, i fuckin love this verison so powerful

[lalalalakkekkshsgjh]

I think it's sad to watch this, beacause this is one of the wery last zepshows, and page is only a shadow of what he once was. what's good with this show, is that jones get the attantion he deserves, but i think the TSRTS version of no quarter is way better, when all members of the band are giving equal contributions to the performance (except Bonham).

[josefookes]

Love this song, one of my favourite Zep songs.

Also does anyone else think's that JPJ resembles James May from Top Gear?

[RockStarSoul]

Anyone know what kind of phase shifter JPJ uses in this performance? It seems to use two sweeps, one an octave above the other. I have an MXR Phase 90 and it only uses one sweep. I've wondered about this for a long time and I hope someone can offer some info.

[RockingMarshall]

Oh, I thought it was a leslie speaker not a phase shifter. Test a leslie or a simulating leslie which is often called rotary speaker.

[Jovan1389]

lol 0:49 PRO

[mulholland1985]

jpj is the most underrated god..long live led zeppelin

[carlwinslo]

im glad to hear that i always thought he was the ace in the hole for zeppelin he knew what he was doing and could play multiple instruments dont get me wrong i love them all i say they are the greatest live perfoming band ever but jpj was always the blackhorse

but if ever since i bought a 5 cd bootleg set when i was a kid and he was playing piano on alot of the later tours and him and jimmy jammed during shows i learned he is as musically inclined as any member of the band maybe better

[shoebert357]

the most underrated in led zeppelin..but not of all the gods..think of richard wright, paul gilbert, noel redding, mitch mitchell

[antwashere2293]

plant came in to early, so he skipped the kool main riff :P

hah still awsome, i didnt know they played it this late in there time

fav song =], RIP bonzo

[XXLEDZEPP3LINXX]

I honestly think JPJ is the most talented out of the group

he can do anything

[EccentricRichard]

Frankly, only his friend Dave Grohl can rival him for being so consistently talented across a number of instruments. I know Dave was given a grand piano (which appeared on the Foo Fighters' sixth album) and is learning to play, taught by his own drummer, Taylor Hawkins - let's hope he's seen this! Maybe then the Foos can then come closer to channelling Zep's spirit...

[tonyhawksacriminal]

lol the foo's will never be anything compared to zep! NEVER. Theyr not even that talented at any of their instruments, zep had the best drummmer, singer, bass/ keys, guitarist combo EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only band coming close would be definately be tool

[EccentricRichard]

I know that Zep were, in their prime, untouchable - but while you say they're not that talented, Taylor Hawkins' technique is brilliant, while Grohl's sheer power is untouchable - and his guitar playing is at least nowhere near as sloppy as Page's. Admittedly, most of the time I'm not moved much by Nate Mendel's bass playing, but the others are brilliant. Don't knock what you don't know well.

[michwolver2020]

dont even compare them to led zeppelin though

[EccentricRichard]

Why the hell not? Dave Grohl is the best damn drummer since Bonham, he and Chris Shiflett are two of the best guitarists since Page (perhaps even before - while Page is very good, he's sloppy as hell) and Nate Mendel is a solid, if unexceptional bassist, while Grohl's bass playing is better than most people out there today, though not up to JPJ's standards - he's untouchable in that sense. But, as I said, if Grohl keeps at the piano, he'll eventually be the modern-day JPJ...

[michwolver2020]

even if grohl is the best drummer since bonham, he's not even close to being as good as bonham, and there's also drummers other than bonham better than grohl, chris shiflett on guitar can not even be mentioned in the same breath as page-the sloppiness was one of the things that made him so good------led zeppelin was just way ahead of what the foo fighters, despite being a great band, will ever be

[Defenderofmankind]

oh there is lots of band today that show that, some you probably havent heard of beause they don't sellout to MTV, have you heard of tool, red sparrowes? and who cares if he got stoned, he was still a good musician, foo's are nowhere near comparable to led zeppelin

[EccentricRichard]

The Foos never sold out to MTV - they decided to embrace something they despised to show up its stupidity and shallowness. Yes, I know that there are other great bands out there, like Tool, though I've not heard of Red Sparrowes, but my comment about the pure musicianship of QOTSA and the showmanship of FFs still stands. I think we need to get away from this stupid argument and all agree that Zeppelin are awesome. By the way, apparently Jimmy, JPJ and Jason are working on the next Zep album...

[Defenderofmankind]

ok, there we go, it just sounded like you were putting one band over the other, i agree, no band is greater than the other band, both are very different, and good, and hopefully robert is the singer again, sod i really hope so

[EccentricRichard]

I'm afraid not. For the moment, Zep are a 3-piece instrumental band. Robert's made it clear he wants nothing more to do with a Zep reunion. What this might mean - Jimmy or JPJ singing, or another singer being recruited, I don't know. Although the FFs drummer Taylor Hawkins was pretty good singing Rock and Roll with Jimmy and JPJ at a recent Foos gig at Wembley, I don't think he'd make the right man for the job permanently, and he's engaged up to his eyeballs with FFs anyway.

[Defenderofmankind]

dammit, well i would be very dissapointed if plant didnt do anything, i would still enjoy new stuff from the other 3, but without robert they shouldnt call it led zeppelin, it should be a new name for something totally new

[mikesmith528]

you sir are retarted

[mikesmith528]

talking to that eccentric richard guy*

[EccentricRichard]

Also, I don't think there's been any band since Zep that ordinary people have related to nearly so much as with the Foos. Grohl's lyrics, often about what he's been through in life, are something people can appreciate, relate to, while their music is approachable: everything from the ultra-radio friendly to damn near thrash metal.

[EccentricRichard]

Plus, if you look beyond the Foos, there's Grohl's Probot project, which is seriously metal, and his work with Queens of the Stone Age, whose frontman Josh Homme really is the modern-day Jimmy Page: no-one else can solo like he can, and his riffs are heavier than just about anyone else's... Dave Grohl and his various bands show a versatility that seriously rivals JPJ.

[michwolver2020]

there is no such thing as a modern-day jimmy page, and i understand that grohl is a talented and versatile musician but he's not quite doing what jonesy did

[Defenderofmankind]

there is no modern day zeppelin, there is no modern day jimmy page, you are stupid

[EccentricRichard]

I'm not stupid. Josh Homme is quite the equal of Jimmy Page, at least when it comes to solos. His riffs are just different to Page's, but that's not to say that Page's riffs were necessarily better. At least Homme isn't constantly stoned like Page was from the mid-60s to the mid-80s! The reason that I compare Zep with QOTSA and FFs is that no-one but QOTSA gives that feeling of pure musicianship nowadays, and no-one does stadium rock with real showmanship in the LZ tradition quite like the Foos.

[Obelix5150]

You're crazy. The Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age can't even be mentioned in the same breath as Led Zeppelin, unless there is the word "not." QOTSA doesn't give any feeling of pure musicianship, and the Foos definitly don't show showmanship in the Led Zep tradition. I'm sorry. You're stupid.

[Marineincident91]

Good Job. I agree completely

[JohnAllanification]

@Obelix5150 tell it,brother. - i'm very late but here to agree.

[Obelix5150]

@EccentricRichard Reading back on this three years ago, I feel it worthwhile to point out to you OPETH, who definitely show pure musicianship much more than QOTSA. Go listen to em. the Damnation album especially is phenomenal.

[JimmyPage968]

ok you need to watch page in 73' he was the best in the world at that time no joke elected by the rock n roll hall of fame

[Defenderofmankind]

the foo's aren't even comparable to led zeppelin

[beeterolds]

i love the look on JPJs face when robert comes in too early :)

[Anthaleus]

what we are all missing when we argue who the best Led Zeppelin member was is the fact that it would not be Led Zeppelin without JPJ's almost mythical bass, piano, and keyboard skill. It wouldn't be without Robert Plant's awesome powerful, mezmerizing voice. It wouldn't be without Jimmy's almost cracked out somewhat sloppy playing (Yes, even HE admitted his style has slop so don't argue. It makes him that much better ;) ), and it wouldn't be Zeppelin without Bonham's powerful, hard-hitting. :)

[fanofeverything]

This is even better than the version from Song Remains The Same.Does the whole thing with a piano rather than starting with a keyboard.Which is nice

[birdextreme13]

Yeah he switched to the piano later on. It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. It deffinately works here. Long live John Paul Jones!!!

[sconeofark]

Piano Solo!

[zzzxxyy]

JPJ gets barely any respect, which is a shame. He is one of the greatest and versatile musicians ever. JPJ FOREVER!!

[Smitty489]

Hes no Keith Emerson, but he definately is very underrated and the most talented member of zeppelin. Without him they would be a very different band, he was the backbone.

[beeterolds]

Bonzo was the backbone... Jonesy was the everyman.. they need him for bass..hes there.. keys? hes there... mandolin..hes there..hes super universal..

[Ravenite1]

Yeah, jimmy and robert are always hogging the spotlight god damnit I say MORE JOHN PAUL JONES

[warney91]

:^D

[Jabs69]

the reason i picked up a bass and started to learn.... this man JPJ.... long live the great musican

[donneric]

most underated meber of the band very versitile he's the man his solo is classic

[Dropzink]

long live JPJ!!!!

[simeonflake]

Not being a musician, I'm wondering exactly what type of piano is JPJ playing here; my ears lead me to believe it's not the standard issue grand piano...

[ludwigvan17]

Well, he's got some weird effects on it. It sounds like reverb and ALOT of chorus effect. Watch the solo on part 2; he's an EXCELLENT pianist.

[EDICCU]

i think it's phaser effect

[AscendentInLeo]

The snow falls hard Indeed

[rc37]

very nice, cheers for the Vid !
