Communication Breakdown

[m4kes0meno1se]

I want Jimmy's hair so bad.

[borninparis]

Funny to see jimmy playing his guitar that high (strap wise)

[ashoka4327]

2:19 freakin' groovy!

[TheChuckNorris1997]

Anyone notice that Steve Kardynal looks like John bonham?

[TheIvano56]

Splendidi............inimitabi­li unici!

[VibrantCompromise]

OH DAS CUTE. DAT IS CUUUUUTE.

[Smithi83]

My Dad and I would listen to this for hours... same as Deep Purple.

[RKOcamilo]

Esta es la mejor versión de Comminication Breakdown.

[BabinOleg]

It all sucks after 2:58

[OnlyAlena]

ahh his hair was freakin awesome.

[bigbob8me]

greatest band in history and jimmy page makes hendrix look like an ameture no one will ever be as great as jimmy or zep not even close

[flicfan416]

DUDE

Jimmy fucking ROCKS

[ColdOasisU2]

proto punk

[iwill45]

i just came



[MrChristian326]

I love this song. I have this on a LP ..... still, the original studio track .....

[PinkStratPheby]

The music is soooooo much better then today's shit , you can see the emotion that page and plant put into it , I'm 16 and in the wrong generation , there is nothing I wouldn't give to see these in their heyday

[paok1900]

FUCK the intro is AMAZING!!!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

anybody know what amp jimmys rockin here? i dont think its the marshall or the vox

[willou901]

@NintendoSinceBirth1 It's definitely not a Marshall. Could be the Vox Super Beatle or his famed Supro. This was before the band took off financially, and Jimmy said something like they just played with whatever was available to them...which wasn't a whole lot at first. But hey, I think it also shows it's the player, not the equipment. Long live Zep!

[JackHayden93]

Why Hasn't Singers Now Day's got the Same Charisma as Robert Plant?

Why Hasn't Guitarists Now Day's got the Same Skill as Jimmy Page?

Why Hasn't Drummers Now Day's got the Unique Sound as John Bonham?

Why Hasn't Bassist Now Day's got the Groove as John Paul Jones?

This Is Proper Music! Rock on Zep!

[MrOlesed]

@JackHayden93 Haven't*; Days*; etc. In fact, even with those corrections, your syntax remains unsatisfactory. Not to mention your generalisations concerning modern musicians are vastly unsubstantiated.

[JackHayden93]

@MrOlesed Most of the Time most of them now days, Bands are very Predictable

[litterboxplayhouse]

His vocals are nothing short of stellar in this performance! I only wish he had not held back on the octaves so much. He would've killed it....

[guitarfreak651]

This audience/setting reminds me alot of when the Jimi Hendrix Experience was playing the Wind Cries Mary for Swedish TV in Stockholm back in '67

[slaughtrhouse]

This is a rare case of youtube and the Internet actually storing something of significance.

[ThroughRock]

@slaughtrhouse A rare case? You idiot, there's thousands of great rock music videos on here.

[EvilSpinner]

@slaughtrhouse Yeah, brother!

[Oinksterify]

only if the voice was a bid more deeper

[thestranger4812]

Simple but brilliant solo.

[daeercin]

plagio de “Nervous Breakdown” del mítico Eddie Cochran... pero Led Zeppelin es LED ZEPPELIN

[noxe23]

How the FUCK can you stand still on your ass to this? I don't get the public. Was it a fucking book club they came to?:))

[nowinterweather]

@noxe23 Led Zep was really strict with tv performances

[MissVampier]

it was their first concert in denmark :D

[MissVampier]

it was their first concert in denmark :D

[cyanidde]

@MrRobby0o7 FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

[sikkvids]

yo guys listen to wolfmother play this and reserch y they did

[Ozzy95723]

in the begining someone says "Her lugter af fede" which means 2 "It smells of hash in her"

[ptc9188]

those people have no idea how incredibly lucky they are.

[DrGolfJam]

Why don't you just sit down.... Dicks!

[Kangaxxter]

the audience is just sitting there like "what the fuck are we listening too?"

They're so ahead of their time that it's hilarious.

[thembrown]

I can't listen to this without spazzing out

[saemikneu]

This is from Danish TV. The Audio is one of the rare soundboards from 1969 (here the seen TV appearance with four songs). It can be seen on the "Led Zeppelin" double DVD (2003)

[frowtime]

DUDE,DUDE! THE SOLO!:)

[piafounet]

Page is impressive here.

[falfal93]

Jimmy Page is so cool.

[gahrzahk]

God, their unreleased stuff is better than most dicky doowad metal/progressive bands music at the time (and some, of all time,) yet they churn out "greatest hits" albums, with teasers, like The Who. Unlike the who, they quit while they were ahead of the game. Wished they released a "Coda II, III or IV"...

[zawaha1]

@gahrzahk Look they didnt quit ahead of the game they quit when Led Zeppelin was no more, its not Led Zeppelin with out any of the member

[gahrzahk]

@zawaha1

I just meant that they didn't become boring shits like the Who or the Stones, thirty years after their prime, churning out bad albums for fans. I only wish they would put out more un-released material; their albums being good as they are. And I don't buy into the Led Zep mytho's perpetrated by purveyors of "Classic Rock;" they were just a great white blues band.

[ZeppelinClassics]

@Xxkoolsk8ter111xX Naw, I think you're mistaken. This is definatley not the birth of metal. This is pure classic rock. :)

[GUIDOBRAT]

@ZeppelinClassics exactly...Zep was blues-based

[zoso1975page]

dude, no one comes close...

[Xxkoolsk8ter111xX]

This is the birth of metal no doubt

[vedderfan94]

I still don't understand how people can think Led Zeppelin "suck" and are "talentless". I was on a forum where a guy said Shaimus (some crappy indie rock band) are more talented than Zeppelin. The human mind baffles me sometimes...

[Felduin]

@vedderfan94

:D

[GUIDOBRAT]

@vedderfan94 couldnt agree more---nothing ...and I mean NOTHING today beats what Page & Plant did. That Shaimus guy u spoke of is insane.

[bobmango54]

anybody know what amp jimmy is using?

[Pwonts94]

@bobmango54 My guess would be a Supro amp. He mainly used those in the early days especially the 1st album.

[mahavishnuxc]

@bobmango54 no, but he should be using orange.

[ilovekatejackson]

God bless the telecaster for that open A after the solo

[drumskater337]

GO JON!

[zedleppelin132]

I had no idea painters smocks could be so cool

[lordieuan777]

Anyone know what fuzzbox page uses?

[Soniclife91]

@lordieuan777 Sola Sound Tonebender MKII, the two knob version

[steffsweet45]

page is the reason i bought a tele

[pkerdef8]

@steffsweet45 Haha, me too. I even painted mine in the same fashion.

[steffsweet45]

@pkerdef8 thats beast mine is white, so i put the chrome dots on it like when he was in the yardbirds ha

[pkerdef8]

@steffsweet45 Sweet dude. Mine's black, but I gave the pick guard a paint job in the same fashion. Gotta be original while still coming sort of close to the gods.

[steffsweet45]

@pkerdef8 yeah you do make a good point

[TheExlord]

bonzo is the man

LED ZEPPELIN FOR LIFE!!!!

[dragonnight812]

God no one can sound like Robert Plant, though now a days Robert Plant can't either.

[TheFoddest]

so weird to see page with a guitar that it's not a lespaul

[sinkinglamb1994]

Page has some sick tone here.

[rootsraf]

i love this footage. they're almost like apunk band its so raw and stripped down! i mean just look at bonham's kit, its the smallest i've ever seen him play!

[strangersound]

Check out the funky break. :)

[Poptartarsauce]

fuck i wish i could shred like that 140 idk wtf is wrong with my keyboard but i cant make that colon thing or ; thing but with 2 circles

[pilot5324]

i wish todays bullshit they call rock could sound like this

[OldSteamer]

@pilot5324

watch the video at my channel, called heavy hardrock-blues session,maybe you kinda like the style

enjoy

[pilot5324]

@OldSteamer hell ya man is that your band? if it is all u need is a bassist and youll be set youd go far thats good shit

[OldSteamer]

@pilot5324

thanks man, its a kind stupid, the guitar

player is a big ego asshole and dont wants to play with me anymorer,we dont ,we dont had a conflict or something.i dont know why but it is how it ois.

but im searching for good guitarists and musicians,i would like to came to london or america for finding such people, who are ready to play with me and make something big.

i dont care about this guy, its sad that he dont see that we got apotential in us.

stay in contact, thanks man!

[pilot5324]

@OldSteamer no prblem i play bass myself for a bit. ya deffinetly stay in contcat

[alexdroogie100]

@pilot5324 blame A&R reps. Many MANY players can and want to play like this, however A&R reps just look at what the group "LOOKS" like, and there is the whole "the singer better really be a rapper" attitude.

[formasters97]

@pilot5324 that's right

[phtelamon]

@pilot5324 atleast some of us still have grat taste of music.

[Chriscornell0019]

this is what rock and roll should be- not some eyeliner and looks first, but passion in music.

[seacoast256]

Classic riff.

[MarinStoikov]

he didn't the high notes because the song weren't so formed then (like in Dazed and Confused - he nevery hitted the high notes...)

[torkerbmx]

this has 64,250 views while dog shit like lil wayne has millions , this proves America fukkin sucks now

[seacoast256]

Guy, you got that right.

[gibsongold1970]

page had more skills

and could write better songs

than any of those guys.

the only one up there with page

is JAMES MARSHALL HENDRIX.

[chjohnst]

JPJ!!!

[Ipleadthafif67]

i wonder why plant didnt hit all the high notes this was like 1969 he was without capable

[jojojosmart]

Professor Page!

[Rockfreak117]

Love this Performance Roberts Voice is Amazing.

Zep 4-EVER

[jenesuisbla]

Outstanding ! I mean these guys were about 20 years old in 1969...

[metallijames]

@jenesuisbla dude, younger. Robert was like 17 when he joined the band in '67.

[RattleheadDIF]

That solo is fuckin' SMOKING! It's so fluent, fast but still bluesy.

Nobody played like that in 1969. Jimmy was ahead of his time by a couple of years.

[Alexsy82]

@RattleheadDIF if you like this stuff, you need to check out an album called "roger the engineer" with jeff beck & the yardbirds.

[RattleheadDIF]

"Roger the Engineer" (Jeff around that era in general) has not the same attack on the strings as Jimmy has at 1:42. It's a different universe. This solo, because it's in such a great recorded quality, is basicly a reference and the staple of controlled shredding but still with a bluesy feeling. It's such a great document of that time and it was recorded in a shitty TV studio.

[r4m0n0]

@RattleheadDIF

well only jimi hendrix could, if I can differ from you in something

[Frankyz84]

There were many players who could out play Page at that time. Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, George Benson, to name but a few, but i could go on if you like.

[Frankyz84]

I was making a point in reply to another post.. Something that obviously escaped you

[LedZeppelin827]

well for starters george benson and frank zappa cannot even be compared to page and buddy guy was solely a bluesman so you really cant compare the two but when it comes to Hendrix vs. Page. Yeah hendrix was a better guitar player but he was no where near as good a riff writer as page, i mean Immigrant song, Kashmir, black dog, bring it on home, whole lotta love, heartbreaker, and the ocean just to name a few

[Frankyz84]

Well this is true, George Benson and Frank Zappa cannot be compared to Jimmy Page, they are both far superior guitarist compared to Page, both in skill and technique. And Zappa was a genius when it came to song and riff writing. And you do realise that Page "borrowed" a lot of the riffs that you mentioned, from other musicians, and made them his own. And saying Buddy Guy was just a Bluesman, is the understatement. And when you tear it all down, thats basicly what Page was.

[Frankyz84]

I am not saying Page was a bad guitarist, he deserves to be counted up there with the best of them, but compared to the aforementioned, Page was sloppy.

[LedZeppelin827]

yeah thats understandable and i guess its also what your into and what aspect you are looking at their playing from

[budgood099]

@Frankyz84 Sure he missed a few notes. You should realize it's not always the technically correct tracks that sound the best. It's usually the ones with the most feeling or emotion behind them..........If you want to talk about a guitarist that never stumbles, slips, falls, or plays the wrong notes. That would be John paul Jones.

[asmorgan88]

@budgood099

Or John Entwistle.

He was better than this guy by a long shot.

[budgood099]

@LedZeppelin827 Jimmy Page is a master musician. He can handle any aspect of the music industry with competence. From playing any instrument to recording to editing to marketing. He does it all.

[escaperoute2]

@LedZeppelin827 so true, but i'm pretty sure Black Dog was written by John Paul Jones

[sharrer2]

@RattleheadDIF A couple? D: people are just now starting to play like that.

[ilovemykeys]

@RattleheadDIF Rory Gallagher was even before him and kicks his ass

[demravager]

@RattleheadDIF What about Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck?

[RattleheadDIF]

@demravager

Dude, don't get me wrong. I love Jimi's and Jeff's playing but what starts at 1:41 is something totally different. We should be lucky that was captured by TV cameras. It's out of this world. It's 1969 and Jimmy is ON, for real...on a crappy TV show. It's wonderful. Listen to the attack. Listen to the fluent play. I dare you, I double dare you. No one would have nailed it like that back then. This is far removed from the blues and it's what thrash metal would become in a a decade.

[asmorgan88]

@RattleheadDIF

Dude - this is not far removed from the blues by any means.

He's playing the blues....note for note...wicked fucking fast.

[LondonOfSpades]

@asmorgan88  He said it was still bluesy

[asmorgan88]

@LondonOfSpades

I don't see that anywhere...but whatever, man.

He said it was "far removed from the blues" from what I read.

[LondonOfSpades]

@asmorgan88 Yeah thats my bad, I only read his comment where he said it was "still bluesy", but later he contradicted himself.

[asmorgan88]

@LondonOfSpades

HAHAH - Yeah, I actually read that after I made that comment too!

[LondonOfSpades]

@asmorgan88 Lol that's weird! Hey, maybe he's just having conflicting thoughts xD

[RattleheadDIF]

@LondonOfSpades No condtradiction at all from my side. It IS "bluesy" but it's far, far removed from the archetypical delta or even Chicago blues. But the roots are still there. It's just different and a totally different dimension at the time. The bottom line, THIS IS NEW and unheard of in 1969. Yes, I perfectly well know my music history, thank you very much.

[LondonOfSpades]

@RattleheadDIF I'm sorry if I came across as dissing your musical knowledge, I didn't mean that. I just misinterpreted what you said.

[Coolinbnyoncrack]

@RattleheadDIF Nobody played like that EVER, let alone 1969.

[prachandaeatspussy]

@RattleheadDIF simply avant garde

[413Kristianna]

@RattleheadDIF more than a couple of years...

[CrazyEiche]

@RattleheadDIF rory gallagher dude

[0kill13]

isnt Stairway to Heaven also recorded on a tele?

[mistabiggz16]

Just the solo

[nflagg11]

LED ZEPPELIN= THE BEST

[torkerbmx]

God's of Rock , all hail the King's of Rock

[bryanswagerty]

2:20 funky

[WonderfulWizardOfLSD]

damn ozzy riped off this song with paranoid

[thejesman]

It influenced Paranoid, I wouldn't say they ripped it off.

[uprightbass90]

orgasmic solo

[cyanidde]

telecaster sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[llZosoll]

no..

[mnmhgbns]

his tele is the shit it is one of a kind ITS GOT A BLOODY DRAGON

[sharrer2]

Go die between your mothers hairy fat sweaty, thighs, you might find your uncle. Chode.

Telecaster rules.

[MrRobby0o7]

@cyanidde

blow me !

[sakkets]

THIS BAND OWNS!!!!!!!!

[talktalk3]

I used to be obsesssssssssssed with zep.. not so much anymore, but this is one of the few ones I really still like (:

[0live0wire0]

how could you say that no one just stops liking Led Zeppelin

[lokitodelbarrio]

TELECASTER RULEZ

[FORTEZABOGADO]

Jimmy with a Telecaster!

[AustralianQuality]

The description fits the video perfectly, 'Led Zeppelin'

Nobody rocked the world harder then Led Zeppelin did.

[MEGARASKI]

It apears that this video was released before de album becouse its more old time blues!

like the yardbirds

[MrSistermaryelephant]

@Tel and Guitar. What you guys are describing is called "soul"

[Farinelli992]

Local fuckers....they're killin' on place :PPP

[PrivateRyan798]

freakin awesome

[crunkalac]

ROBERT PLANT!!!!!!!!!!

[Gruehn]

brilliant!

[noahf67]

Too bad they never appeared on The Tom Jones Show to have Robert duet

and trade off on this with Tom...it would have been awesome...! This slower,

more personalized version would have worked...!

[aminorchacha]

More punk than any of the New Wave tracks of the late 1970s. All done and dusted in two minutes 56 seconds. Makes the Sex Pistols sound like Wagnerian pomp rockers.

[Televizzle07]

it is sloppy but that is a good thing. that is wat a true hard rock guitarist should sound like, dirty and gritty unlike all those technical guys who really try to sound very clean, where is the fun in that?

[GuitarHickNick]

@Televizzle07 are you saying, you should be sloppy and dirty to be a good heavy metal guitarist and have fun

cause thats bull shit

[Televizzle07]

@GuitarHickNick its hard to explain, obviously page is one of the most talented rock musicians ever. i didnt really mean sloppy i guess. wat i meant was that his sound is one of a kind and it is just very hard and bluesy. he makes it sound scrappy but in a fantastic way becuz that is exactly wat it should sound like. he is not like one of the guys who just goes by the book and plays clean although they are great as well. he is like hendrix in a way becuz he pushes the limits of his guitar sound

[GuitarHickNick]

@Televizzle07 thanks for clearing things up, I know what you mean about Page and Hendrix both having a scrappy hard sound to them, both of them don't always sound rehearsed and just play what they feel and it comes out great

[Televizzle07]

@GuitarHickNick exactly, and that is why they are the two greatest guitarists in my opinion, and the best song writers who had a HUGE influence on rock music

rock music 4 life!!

[Coolinbnyoncrack]

And then God said "Let there be light", and there was light. God then said "Let there be life", and there was life. He then said "Let there be a perfect musical image of me on this Earth" and Led Zeppelin was formed.

[searaven35]

Coolinbnyoncrack said it, and it was so.

Effing love this!!!!

[kristinparker22]

Oh my gosh! So great! "let there be a perfect musical image of me on this earth" :)

[ZeppelinxOfxLed]

fucken love that solo. zoso!

[MedatonOrtano]

I love watching Page accelerate at around 2:40.

He's god.

[xXbloodbrotherXx]

Crazy ass solo

Led Zeppelin is so KICK ASS

Led Zeppelin was a tight band. They played rock 'n' roll without all the extras. They were great who they were before the "big time." You can see this in a lot of great bands.
