i was at this show opening night, 6/7/77, it was a mind blowing experience, i was 16 n had a first date with a hot girl, we got to our nosebleed seats n i said lets sneak down, she said no n i said "SEE YA", I got all the way down next to jimmy, it was the best show of my life!!!, i stood there in awe with a huge smile on my face, i still remember that show to this day,LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN, LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!!!!

Made th first and last concerts at MSG. To bad on the first night some jerk throw down a fire cracker that hurt Jimmy Pages hand. He was able to finish the concert which later Robert Plant called the jerk a ( phsyical Graffiti ).
@ncast54 I was at the first show too, i was right up front n saw when the m-80 exploded next to jimmys hand, they werent gonna come out for the encore, but realized if they didnt, there would be a riot, what a fuckin show!!! i was 16 n payed $6 to see it, i had nosebleed seats n snuck all the way down front, best show of my life!!!
Amazing the tickets for a Lep Zep concert was ony 6 bucks back then. I was sitting on the first level right above the ground seats. I have all their albums,OPPS cds. I once saw Aerosmith open up for Black Sabbath at MSG . Can you imagine that, Aerosmith an opening act band. My first stadium concert was at JFK stadium in Philly, I saw Peter Frampton and the group YES. Long live ROCK
@ncast54 boy, it sure was good to be in new york in the seventies!!! i saw the best shows at the garden, zeppelin, pink floyd, jethro tull, bad company, yes, aerosmith, then the eighties, iron maiden, tesla, van halen, ozzy, motley crue, mettalica, zz top, aerosmith again, ac/dc, and a few i cant remember, the garden was and is the greatest place on earth to see concerts, all the history of rock n roll is there!!!!
I agree MSG was the spot to watch the best Rock concerts,it was the big leaques. There are few good bands still out there but the Hey day of the 60's and 70's are long gone.All we have now is the good memories. Who knows maybe Led Zep may do another concert run. If they do, we'll both be there
@ncast54 i wouldnt miss it for the world!!! besides zep, i saw plant 3 times solo, the firm, and jimmy page with the black crowes, jimmy page is who made me learn to play guitar after seeing zeppelin, i think they should tour with jason bonham, hes already proved he can play the songs, a full tour would be phenominal, and im sure it would sell out in minutes all over the world, if only page would give in, who knows?????
@ncast54 Most definitely, our memories keep all this music alive inside of us and help us to relive the concerts every time we hear the songs!!!! ROCK ON!!!!
You are right Page like Hendriks inspired a lot of us to play guitar, especailly air guitar. A tour may be wishful thinking but at least we have our memories of watching the best of the best Rock bands of all times. Hey the stones are still touring, Mic looks great for a almost 70 plus year old

this video is cool because now when you see a shaky amateur video like this from a concert you think.. cell phone.. but this being way before cell phones were invented.. i think its a really cool flash forward and its a video of the greatest band ever
Rock'n'roll era was the greatest ... i am just so frustrated that i wasn't born in those days ... if anyone creates the time machine i volunteer to go back in time ... you can leave me there cause i think belong there .
this was the greatest rock band ever ,im from chicago and have seen them every time they came to america from the first time they played in chicago at the kinetic playground or kinetic circus on clark st as it was called ,then they came on hoth tour and in 75 physical graffiti tour at the old stadium for 3 nights ,plant got a cold when they got off the plane in minnesota,and jimmy broke a finger in a train door leaving england , more to come
@joefitz5 he changed set played how many more times and when the levee with the slide, dropped dazed, in between songs would take a swig of jack daniels and stick finger inmouth to numb it , inthis vid in ny he is really jumping around ,got some speedy smack from ny dealer in chicago he always got the good shit plus qualudes so he was mellower and played the blues to the tttttt
I agree and if they were young and starting now in 2010 they would still surpass the talent that is out there right now, Amazing vocals Robert Plant is one of the best
Whoever dislikes Led Zeppelin must truly be lost as a person. This was the only band in history to have every one of their songs on every album a hit. Nobody or no band will ever surpass them.
@JustinPierce1226 --People who are older than 70 in 2010 are most likely not to care for this kind of music. And we do not generally care for theirs, isn't that logical ?
@durgaaa Yes, it is. My great grandmother is 82, and her favorite band is Led Zeppelin... :D. Along with many other elders I know. Alot of people from alot of generations like Led Zeppelin. It isn't just a one shot thing for one generation or two. Many upon many generations do like Led Zeppelin. I love Mozart and Beethoven. Jimmy Page did as well. Heck he based some of his playing off those two. It is safe to say that any age from any generation can like or love Led Zeppelin or any band :D
@JustinPierce1226 -- Good. I am glad your grandmother is exceptional. But what I am hearing from you is that you disrespect anyone who does not like the Zep. Let people have their own tastes and opinions and do not condemn them because they do not agree with you. That's my opinion. Don't forget, I said "most likely" and "generally". There are always exceptions to every rule.
@durgaaa Oh my! I was not trying to condemn everyone with an opinion lol. Not my intent at all!! I just have a problem with people my age or younger now a days saying that Led Zeppelin didn't start anything at all. Like, saying they were a useless overrated band. THat is what I have a problem with. They are the rock elders.
I was here! There was nothing better than a Zep show. This sounds awful, though. It's not THAT hard to do some EQ-ing and a parametric touch here and there to eliminate the clipping, c'mon, Zep.com!
I saw this concert at the Garden when I was 16 years old, think I paid $17 for the ticket...Who remembers the "joints in bags" guys outside the Garden 5 bucks, 5 joints..
@cocoalump I was at that show... I was 13... and I remember the bag guy too... paraquot was in the news then... we had beers in McCans across the street and smoked up before the show... we had 4th as 4th row seats... we took the bus and train (from jersey)...I think we sent to the second show of three or four shows...
@cocoalump Wow..McCans bar, havent heard that name in years,we used to go there before concerts too..upstairs, you could light up ,,catch a great buzz before the show..and beers wre $1..guess we are showing our age..lol
June 14 '77 yes I was there that night with friends. I still have the ticket stub. A guy hit Jimmy Page with an m80. It landed on the drumset platform and Jimmy didn't see it. Jimmy was putting on his guitar strap or something and BAM! Yeah there was a pile where the smoke trail started in the audience. They came back out after a while and continued on !
Sir, as someone who knows Led Zeppelin stuff probably better than most lol, I F*&^ING.... agree lol. Everybody has preferences, and if it isnt your cup of tea, oh well. The Who rock and kickass all around.
@surfmcgoogler ....did you know Pete Townsend is notorious for his jealousy of Led Zeppelin , mostly Page as Jimmy is the better of the two hands down....Zep's best years were from '68 - 73 and would blow the Who out of the water on any given day....what amazes me is if not for the drugs and bad karma were Zep' could of gone......even Moon and Entwhisle wanted to form a supergroup with the boys and appeared at many of their shows....Also the O2 reunion was better then any Who reunion..
wow i need an aspirin after this great performance, thank god i never saw zeppelin live, i think the fans left i dont hear anyone in the audience THE WHO blow them away
Here are a few concerts that could beat any Who concert anyday because of they are "nothing like it" quality, most popular, and in the genral eye, some of the best performances to ever exist in rock history.
~Royal Albert Hall Live Concert, 1970
~How the West was Won Live Album. From the L.A Forum and California Equinox Concerts, 1972.
~Madison Square Garden, 1973 (The Song Remains the Same)
did you ever see live aid 1985? zep was so bad, and that was 25 years ago, zep was a great studio band, and the who wasnt so great except quadrophania, zep isnt a great live band, where the who is. nothing zep does live compares to the who wont get fooled again and who are you ,and the song quick one is awesome live in the kids are alright movie. the who is a fun live band that you have no clue what they would do next and who do you watch in that band so you dont miss anything(old who)
i get bored of hearing zepplin, , if i get bored from the who i go to another album. live at leeds is great also, 911 concert, blew everyone away, and they were in their late 50s. tommy live, quad live, whos next, no comparison
Yea I saw that one and yea I admit, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page where not very good at all. But just because they were not with Zep anymore doesn't mean they sucked after the disband. In 1994 Page and Plant went unplugged on MTV and that concert was phenominal. Ask anyone. A series of Page and Plant concerts where awesome. And the concerts I listed for you is solid proof that Led Zeppelin makes one awesome show. The movie they made shows the quality very clearly that you like in The Who.
cool chatting with you, i will hope for a reunion 4 zep fans soon 4 you. i saw plants band open up for the who a few years back and i thought he was great, voice was great and as a front man
Okay full of shit... the only problem after 1973 or so is robert had surgery on his voice and page was on drugs.. BUT.. in 69-72ish whatever. (alot of videos in 69) zeppelin is extremely kickass. way better than the studdering who..
@dp6876 Actually, Zeppelin blew everyone out of the water back in ´69. Most American bands back then were trippin on mescalin or someting or other. Zeppelin would with ferociuos effecivity blow whoever off the stage. Eye witnesses back then called it a little bit eerie. Zeppelin was so powerful, it was really out of this world.
@sveckan The WHO blew zeppelin off the stage in Maryland, go listen to the tape. Terry Knight (manager of Grand Funk Railroad) was threatened by peter grant to end the show because Grand Funk were getting a better reaction than zeppelin.
@dp6876 Where did you hear that from? I ask out of curiosity because my uncle saw Zeppelin in 77 and he said it was the "best concert I've ever seen, bar none." And I'm not too sure but I think he said that he saw them in Maryland. ( We're from Philadelphia.)
@Abe91195 It is not a rumor, you can even go to Led Zeppelins official web site in the tour section and see the comments yourself from the people that were there. Peter Grant turned off the power when Grand Funk were playing because they were getting a better reaction.
How the west was won was cut up and edited from two different shows. The Song Remains the Same is a lousy film. The 1975 tour was not called the Destroyer tour, it was a title given to a bootleg from the 77 tour. Knebworth was a disaster, even Robert Plant admits it.
@dp6876 How the West was Won is cut up from two separate performances, both of them showing Led Zeppelin at their peak. Both concerts are amongst Zep's best. The performance and Madison Square Garden in 1973 is amazing, not the film. I agree the the film was lousy. And my band on the Destroyer tour. It's indeed a concert, one that was really good. The edited versions of the Knebworth are awesome. Despite them being edited, they still show a good level of skill in the performance itself.
@fighter79 Correct you are..I was a bit sloppy on the cut and paste and I accidentally deleted BONO, not BONZO," I think you got the names mixed up DUDE"...Roots-GAL would mean I am not a dude, but a woman..."Bonham died on September 25, 1980"....there, I fixed it.
June 8, 1977, was my turn to see Zeppelin. That was the last year they toured before Bonham died. What a sweet night, 3 hours of the best rock band ever.....plus, it was my birthday. Never forget this night...never!
@oreldm I SAID, I saw Led Zeppelin play in June of 1977 @ Madison Square Garden, (I saw them on June 8th, my birthday)...that was their LAST TOUR in the USA wise ass.....your reading comprehension skills suck! John Bonham died soon after. THEY ROCKED for 3 long hours....
6/14/77, one of the most exciting days of my life.I was only 14 yrs old.I can vouch for the outfits on all of them,I remember clearly Bonzo in his wife-beater.Robert in that maroon shirt on this tour,Page in the white satin suit.JPJ in white on this night.I remember the light show with Kashmir, the 45 minute drum solo on Moby Dick.They sat on stools in and did an acoustic version of Going to California while they smoked cigarettes.Still have my Swan Song button from the night.Musical geniuses.
Robert did leave the stage abruptly ... as he does in this video. i don't remember what Jonsey and Bonham were wearing this night, but my memory seems comfortable with Page and Plant's atire.
if only they knew that this would be their last performance, ever, as Led Zeppelin, in New York ... I doubt it would have ended in this manner ... very sad ...
regardless ... Plant was pissed, and he did ask the lighting crew to shine a spot light on the people sitting behind the stage. He told the audience behind the stage, something like "one of you ... must have seen who did this ... the right thing to do is reveal to us who that person is." ... something like that ...
.... YES, someone from the back of the stage was lighting firecrackers throughout the night. BUT, when Robert said that Jimmy was hit by a fire cracker, I remember thinking he was full of sh*t.
I was able to see the entire stage when the firecraker went off, and Page did not react in any manner that suggested he was hit! no abrupt movements ...he didn't hold his hand, shake it ...nothing! how could he have been hit and his body not react?? and then ... how could he have continued playing??
OK ... i had seen this video many years ago, but didn't believe it was from 6.14.77.
the video i had seen was shot from a different angle than the one posted here. but i must have been wrong. 2 different angles but everything the same. I guess this must be 6.14.77.
i was at this show.
during the encores i was standing at approx. the 30th row, center, on the floor. I do remember Robert leaving the stage abruptly, at the end of RocknRoll, and that's what happens in this video.......
This is so fucking good you could play this anywhere and it would still blow your mind. It's just above everything.. I have this on through my crappy laptopspeakers and it still blows my mind. God there just aren't any words sometimes..
Thanks so much for providing me with video footage of this concert! As it turns out, I was 15 then, in NYC in1977, and then my mother phychotically tears up AND burns my ticket for no particular reason, just to be mean. I've never quite gotten over that....wondering what the concert was like....knowing Bonham died after that & I'd never, ever see Led Zeppellin. At least you've now given me actual footage of that lost concert of mine...which was supposed to be my first concert. Thanks again!:)
i was at this show at the tender age of 11. fuck that idiot who threw the fireworks at the band! i hope they get what they have coming to them for that! great show though!
2 weeks later PINK FLOYD would play the same place for 4 nights in a row July 1-4 and they encountered firework problems as well. I saw MAIDEN(86),Motley Crue((88) and AC/DC(88) at the Garden and the fireworks were NUTS. It was just stupid.
I have have alot of Zeppelin bootlegs and they always encountered kids with firecrackers in the US. I am really suprised by that?! What the point of trowing firework at your favourite band???
I was at the concert with the firecracker and it didn't hit Plant, only Jimmy. Plant was pissed as all hell. Who could blame him. Concert was the best I've been too. Going to Springsteen and Aerosmith soon. Feel like I'm reliving the 70's, IT'S GREAT...
A few moths ago I was showing my daughter my ticket stubs.(699 of them) I saw Pink Floyd in Philly on June 28 and then saw Led Zep 9 days later at MSG.I remember both these tremendous shows vividly But I'll be dammed if I remember them within 9 days of each other in the summer of 77.
Jealous right here! lol, i wasn't born till 1985 so zep had been gone for half a decade. I never get tired of watching this old footage tho, they are my favorite band!
you saw led zeppelin? do you have a faint golden glow around the perimeter of your body? typically people able to be in the presence of gods get that..

Sir, as someone who knows Led Zeppelin stuff probably better than most lol, I F*&^ING.... agree lol. Everybody has preferences, and if it isnt your cup of tea, oh well. The Who rock and kickass all around.

@surfmcgoogler ....did you know Pete Townsend is notorious for his jealousy of Led Zeppelin , mostly Page as Jimmy is the better of the two hands down....Zep's best years were from '68 - 73 and would blow the Who out of the water on any given day....what amazes me is if not for the drugs and bad karma were Zep' could of gone......even Moon and Entwhisle wanted to form a supergroup with the boys and appeared at many of their shows....Also the O2 reunion was better then any Who reunion..

Here are a few concerts that could beat any Who concert anyday because of they are "nothing like it" quality, most popular, and in the genral eye, some of the best performances to ever exist in rock history.
~Royal Albert Hall Live Concert, 1970
~How the West was Won Live Album. From the L.A Forum and California Equinox Concerts, 1972.
~Madison Square Garden, 1973 (The Song Remains the Same)
~The Destroyer Tour, 1975
~Earls Court, 1975
~Knebworth - Second Night Live

did you ever see live aid 1985? zep was so bad, and that was 25 years ago, zep was a great studio band, and the who wasnt so great except quadrophania, zep isnt a great live band, where the who is. nothing zep does live compares to the who wont get fooled again and who are you ,and the song quick one is awesome live in the kids are alright movie. the who is a fun live band that you have no clue what they would do next and who do you watch in that band so you dont miss anything(old who)
tommymac1967 1 year ago
i get bored of hearing zepplin, , if i get bored from the who i go to another album. live at leeds is great also, 911 concert, blew everyone away, and they were in their late 50s. tommy live, quad live, whos next, no comparison
tommymac1967 1 year ago
Yea I saw that one and yea I admit, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page where not very good at all. But just because they were not with Zep anymore doesn't mean they sucked after the disband. In 1994 Page and Plant went unplugged on MTV and that concert was phenominal. Ask anyone. A series of Page and Plant concerts where awesome. And the concerts I listed for you is solid proof that Led Zeppelin makes one awesome show. The movie they made shows the quality very clearly that you like in The Who.

@dp6876 Actually, Zeppelin blew everyone out of the water back in ´69. Most American bands back then were trippin on mescalin or someting or other. Zeppelin would with ferociuos effecivity blow whoever off the stage. Eye witnesses back then called it a little bit eerie. Zeppelin was so powerful, it was really out of this world.

@Abe91195 It is not a rumor, you can even go to Led Zeppelins official web site in the tour section and see the comments yourself from the people that were there. Peter Grant turned off the power when Grand Funk were playing because they were getting a better reaction.

@dp6876 that doesnt mean their better than led zep. they're a great band but not better than led zeppelin
Abe91195 1 year ago
How the west was won was cut up and edited from two different shows. The Song Remains the Same is a lousy film. The 1975 tour was not called the Destroyer tour, it was a title given to a bootleg from the 77 tour. Knebworth was a disaster, even Robert Plant admits it.
dp6876 1 year ago
@dp6876 How the West was Won is cut up from two separate performances, both of them showing Led Zeppelin at their peak. Both concerts are amongst Zep's best. The performance and Madison Square Garden in 1973 is amazing, not the film. I agree the the film was lousy. And my band on the Destroyer tour. It's indeed a concert, one that was really good. The edited versions of the Knebworth are awesome. Despite them being edited, they still show a good level of skill in the performance itself.

Robert did leave the stage abruptly ... as he does in this video. i don't remember what Jonsey and Bonham were wearing this night, but my memory seems comfortable with Page and Plant's atire.
if only they knew that this would be their last performance, ever, as Led Zeppelin, in New York ... I doubt it would have ended in this manner ... very sad ...
nooroloyia 2 years ago
regardless ... Plant was pissed, and he did ask the lighting crew to shine a spot light on the people sitting behind the stage. He told the audience behind the stage, something like "one of you ... must have seen who did this ... the right thing to do is reveal to us who that person is." ... something like that ...
nooroloyia 2 years ago
.... YES, someone from the back of the stage was lighting firecrackers throughout the night. BUT, when Robert said that Jimmy was hit by a fire cracker, I remember thinking he was full of sh*t.
I was able to see the entire stage when the firecraker went off, and Page did not react in any manner that suggested he was hit! no abrupt movements ...he didn't hold his hand, shake it ...nothing! how could he have been hit and his body not react?? and then ... how could he have continued playing??
nooroloyia 2 years ago
OK ... i had seen this video many years ago, but didn't believe it was from 6.14.77.
the video i had seen was shot from a different angle than the one posted here. but i must have been wrong. 2 different angles but everything the same. I guess this must be 6.14.77.
i was at this show.
during the encores i was standing at approx. the 30th row, center, on the floor. I do remember Robert leaving the stage abruptly, at the end of RocknRoll, and that's what happens in this video.......

As it turns out, I was 15 then, in NYC in1977, and then my mother phychotically tears up AND burns my ticket for no particular reason, just to be mean. I've never quite gotten over that....wondering what the concert was like....knowing Bonham died after that & I'd never, ever see Led Zeppellin. At least you've now given me actual footage of that lost concert of mine...which was supposed to be my first concert. Thanks again!:)
