  • Awesome! Sounds raw and mean, This is one of my Fav Zep songs. This version rules!

  • Holy shyte....so amazing. They came on like a new beast being born.....saw them in '69 in SF and my little 17 year old mind was totally blown. There IS NOT anything like this today. Sorry for sounding old farty!

  • narutoisashit.......I"ll explain your disease........it"s called..... "I have a good taste in music syndrome"....feels good don"t it

  • Don't rappers and hiphoppers sound like types of insects?

  • @smokiebird06 Don't The Beatles sound like types of insects?

  • I was for years old!!! Can't believe music was so awesome then...but i remember when i was a teenager, i thought it was new!!!! Music stinks nowadays so bad...like idiocracy!!!!

  • Can you put the full concert up thx

  • isnt it amazing that at this point in their carreer they were not really comfortable with themselves on stage, mainly Robert, sound so good though

  • This is awesome!!! I go to Gonzaga University, they played in a small building we call the Cog. Hard to imagine Led Zeppelin playing there now.

  • @LedHendrix408 Fellow Zag. I know, right?

  • Very rare!!! Great!!! Thanks!!!

  • the reason youn listen to music that is 40 years old is because they made music then, i dunno what the hell happened, but it is all i listen to except for a little Soundarden! :)

  • @ledWilde you say that green day is better? WTF!!!! are you sick? c'mon, LZ has over 40 years and people still listens to it.... what's wrong with this kids??????

  • @bloodinyourface100 Nope. My profile/channel proves Green Day is better and that I LOVE them! My profile/channel also proves that I hate Led Zeppelin and that I'm only 15 years old. Good day!

  • @LedWilde your profile proves you're a dumbass

  • @bloodinyourface100 No it doesn't. It proves you are. :)

  • green day are good just ask them who they think are great!

  • This was Led Zeppelin, when they were still in diaper's, yet they are playing as adults.

  • @LedWilde lol good jokes 

  • @justdropem Glad you noticed it was a joke. :)

  • @LedWilde lol

  • plant sounds like he's imitating the yardbirds' version at first

    i love the extra bluesy take he's taking on this version.

  • As you can see from the earlier comments, the guy regrets stating that about The Cure. But yeah, it was a stupid comment.

  • much better than the song remains the same. robert actually can hit those high notes in this version. friggen bonzo must have had some titanium alloy drum skins-he beat the crap out of those things! good special effects on the guitar too...did the crowd leave or something?? not a whisper out of them

  • much better than the song remains the same. robert actually can hit those high notes in this version. friggen bonzo must have had some titanium alloy drum skins-he beat the crap out of those things! good special effects on the guitar too

  • Page should give Jake Holmes his due for Dazed & Confused

  • No hard feelings, but i thought Led Zep, was awful, especially live. Jimmy Page, sounded like someone still learning the guitar. John Bonham, sounded like he was trying to kill his drums. Robert Plant, with his ewws and ahhs, and scooby doobys, really grated on me. John Paul Jones, was the only guy in the group, who could actually play his instrument.

  • @Torvasal wow im guessing you dont play an instrument yourself because everyone in led zeppelin is a master of their instrument.

  • @Torvasal you're talking bullshit.zeppelin were great live and that's how they got their reputation.the press hated these days so live performances was the only way to make the world pay attention to them.1968-1973 were their best years,in performance and studio ;)

  • Gonzaga? What a venue. Most people hated, and I mean hated these pychedelic bands. I saw fleetwood mac at a bar that lost it's liquor licence and was turned into a teen hangout in belvidere illinios.

  • Thank You!

    It's great to hear music played by it's original musicians, in it's original form... Not hacked and slashed on turntables by wannabees, thugs, punks, mouthpieces and perverts rhyming nonsense to brainless, cheesy faced kids who live in this so-called age of Entitlement...

  • Thanks for posting. Great version of a great lead.

    We love you Jimmy Page!

  • BOHNAM WAS EQUALLY AS GOOD AS JOHN PAUL,AND JIMMY AND PLANT. THEY WERE LED ZEPPELIN. IT COULD NOT BE LED ZEPPELIN WITHOUT ANY ONE OF THEM. WHEN BOHNAM DIED, ZEPPELIN STOPPED. THEY DIDN'T KEEP GOING WITHOUT HIM, CUZ IT WOULDN'T BE ZEPPELIN. THAT'S RESPECT! THE WHO REPLACED ENTWHISTLE AND BARELY MISSED A TOUR DATE. THAT'S DISRESPECT. TOWNSEND/DAULTRY SHOULD NOT CALL THEMSELVES THE WHO PERIOD!

  • @jackstraw727 They did do a reunion tour in the 80's with John Bonham's son because they said that they wouldn't play without a Bonham on drums.

  • @dani3ll3saul I'M NOT SURE THAT'S TRUE. I THINK THAT WAS THE PLANT/PAGE TOUR YOU ARE THINKING OF. I WAS 16 WHEN ZEP ENDED, AND THO I BECAME A DEADHEAD THRU MOST OF THE EIGHTIES, I DON'T REMEMBER ANY REUNION TOURS. MANY PEOPLE CALLED THE PLANT/PAGE THING A REUNION CUZ JASON B. WAS ON DRUMS BUT IT WAS NEVER BILLED AS ZEPPELIN. I THINK THEIR ONLY REUNION WAS A ONE SHOW THING IN 2007 AT A BENEFIT CONCERT IN LONDON. I SMOKE A LOT OF POT, SO YOU MAY BE RIGHT, ANY VIDS ON HERE TO PROVE IT?

  • @dani3ll3saul THEY DID A LIVE- AID THING IN 85, BUT I THINK PHIL COLLINS WAS THE DRUMMER ON THAT SHOW.

  • @jackstraw727 Yeah, but it was a disaster.

  • wish I had a Bonzo

  • most excellent~

  • Two bands ever could do the not-joined-up thing. These guys and The Stones. Differently. All hail.

  • This is terrific . Thanks.

  • I remember hear this song on an underground radio station in early 1969. I went out the next day and bought the album. My friends thought I was nuts, but 3 weeks later thought I was a visionary for turning them on to Led Zeppelin. Hearing this brought me back to those days... Thank you.

  • i actually fucking love the lack of quality on this, it just gives it that extra zeppelin-y effect

  • Bonzo made that band, too. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, & John Bonham won't happen again anytime soon.

  • @markchapterthirteen The chemistry among the four of them amounted to a fifth member. It was beyond simple talent, which is why there is no box set of Coverdale-Page or The Firm.

  • i dont know if many people know this but this Spokane recording is actually the earliest Zeppelin recording known. And its crazy that it happened in my town and such a huge historical band!

  • @benheiss They didn't hit the Fillmore East until January of '69. That was their breakthrough concert. I was a huge Yardbirds fan and was looking forward to seeing this band come together after the 'birds broke up in the fall of '68. If you were at this show, you witnessed rock history. Their album wasn't released until mid-January of 1969 -still have several unopened originals that I brought that week.

  • @1blastman I am only 16 lol. So I wasn't there. I really wish I was though!

  • so damn cool i keep finding hidden gems on you tube WOW - hell i cant get enough

    also the variety of recordings makes me high

  • so damn cool i keep finding hidden gems on you tube WOW - hell i cant get enough

  • I gotta get this. Thanks for posting!

  • The audience at the begining were giggling and then the guitar came in and they were all like "wow"

  • It's easy to see why Vanilla Fudge was anxious about having Zep open for them on this tour. I guess the boys ended up getting so many encores it was very rough for the Fudge to follow them. I know one person who was at this show, and he said they opened with Train Kept a Rollin, which he was familiar with as a Yardbirds tune, but the second he heard Bonham play , he knew they were in for some awesome shit! The band also had to drive later that night to Seattle in a blizzard in a station wagon!

  • It's such an "adult" song when you consider Robert Plant is singing these words like he knows life and yet he is 20 years old. After how great the musicians were (Plant, Jones, Bonham), how Robert Plant made you BELIEVE he was a 50 year old blues guy that lived this tough life is a big part of the appeal of Led Zeppelin to me - even 25 years after I started listening to them.

  • chills much?

  • awwe i was looking forward to hearing the audiences reaction

  • Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

  • Zeppelin in spokane? now if I had only been born 20 years earlier I coulda been at that show....

  • @crzazzwhtboy seriously man. I had a buncha of friend from Spokane what a random place for such a huge foreign band to play huh?

  • i don't know If any zep fans hav ever felt as i do, but sometimes i wish that, when he was young, robert plant wouldve hit certain notes and wailed a certain bluesy way in some of his improv parts in the zep songs. Like I know for sure that there are some zep songs that he was restraining his full-power, soulful, wail at the climax parts and it just makes me sad to realize that he'll never deliver to that extent again. That's why this stuff really raises the hairs on my neck. It's Legendary.

  • How the hell did Led Zeppelin get to Spokane of all places in 1968?

  • @daytimecloudsurfer I would ask the same question, being that's the area I live in.

  • bonham is brilliant on the intro. jimmy laying back and letting robert take it out front. jpj holding the whole thing together. wow.

    a snapshot of led zeppelin before they sold a record.

  • i am 12, idont know why i hear music of 40 years older than me but i love it

  • @narutoisashit - don't question it little dude :) you are wise beyond your years... the best music ever written and recorded is from the 60's and 70's ....

    

  • @amadeus2499 as the yrs roll on past that statement is becoming more and more prolific.. we will never have a period in time of great musical awareness and creativity as we had in the 50's/ 60's / & 70's

  • @narutoisashit im am 13, i have been listening to this crap ever since i was 3. i dont give a fuck

  • @narutoisashit nvm welcome to the jungle

  • @narutoisashit You love it cause it was the music from this era, 60 & early 70's that all the artists today listened to and styled themselves after. Most rap beats come from old rock songs. Most music today is sampling yesterdays. Plus, it just doesn't get any better than Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Beatles, Sabbath, Deep Purple, and all those legendary bands. It was just awsome music

  • Robert plant on vocals the way it should be.1968 i was 3..

  • Check out maa band :)

  • dazed and confused was done by the yardbirds bwefore th8is was released

  • @kokanee2010a Yeah and that was made even before them. Dazed and Confused was written by the folk-rock singer Jake Holmes and released as a track in his debut album "The Above Ground Sound" Of Jake Holmes in 1967. That same year Jake Holmes opened for The Yardbirds in a show in New York where Jimmy Page heard the song. Anyways the song is awesome.

  • cover of jake holmes song

  • wow... this was two years later to the day that I saw the Yardbirds with Page minus Jeff.

  • I think my old digital media teacher may have recordings he did took himself from the same concert. Ah Washington's a good music place :D

  • wow! if u think this music is overdone in 2010 or cliche ..., that is because everything that followed was influenced by zep ..., or just copied weakly

  • plant sounds so young!

  • The Cure kicks ass for what they did. But no, they cannot compare to the Mighty Zep!

  • plants voice is immense in this

  • i got a feeling this group's gonna be around for a while :)

  • Dude your an idiot. Porl from the Cure was the guitarist that went on the road with Led Zepplin. Page loves his playing. Check the facts

  • Great music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good shit happens in Spokane. I wonder how many of them knew they were seeing history.

  • Jimmy Page is a Monster Genius

  • I'm from Spokane.. So amazing!!!!! only wish i was born 7 years earlier...

  • This is why there was a punk revolution!

  • This is why there was a punk revolution.

  • Cool . . . I was only 4 atthe time but was being primed by older brothers for a lifetime of Zeppelin appreciation.

  • too bad they ripped this song off, cool none the less

  • @iamthelazlow People did that in the 60/70's, it wasn't called a rip off at that time, more like a tribute.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • FUCK.  YES.

  • that's really interesting. you can hear the influence of Vanilla Fudge Led Zeppelin supported on that concert. and you can hear also their very own style of music, of course, it's dazed and confused. and you can hear one of the greatest bands the world has ever seen starting up. I love it!

  • this is just great I dont know what els to say.

  • man its incredible to listen to early zeppelin.. esp when they where doin small areas an their music breaks the amps.. an jesus christ robert plants vocals.. unmatched.. he did create the heavy metal voice.. an he did it well

  • @ilpazzinasta -

    Not quite but Zeppelin's early stuff is all over metal's DNA.

  • with this song was born heavy metal music?

  • @ilpazzinista Ehhh, this song itself isn't really heavy metal lol.

  • Most of what influenced the music of Led Zeppelin can be easily heard if one listens to older blues music. Elvis and The Rolling Stones also had a lot of the same people they looked at that inspired their early music. This was old American blues. You can't say that it was entirely that but it was a major contributor.

  • I agree, amazing that dumbass Spokane was able to land a show like this~

  • Verrueckt und Toll ! ! !

  • Great version.

  • i cant beleive zep played in my lame ass spokane i wish icould have been there iwas born to late

  • the Cure suck dick and one can never compare them to Zeppelin

  • @0live0wire0 I agree that LZ are amazing, but did you really have to put that ridiculous first sentence there?...

  • @GoodGuitarSolos yeah you're right it was kinda harsh. I've got nothing against the Cure. I guess i was taken over by the emotion i felt listening to the great Zeppelin as always.

  • @0live0wire0 LZ are amazing, for sure! These early live tapes are really raw and rocking, Plant's singing is crazy...

  • @0live0wire0 I´m sorry to disappoint you but the cure are a really good band maybe not as good as led zeppelin cuz led zeppelin are just the best of the best. (try not to say im a led zeppelin hater ive got them on my wall my bag and i´ve got loads of t-shirts with em) i just want to say the cure have their style they´re just something else....another style. It´s nothing you could compare.

  • @0live0wire0 bullshit.

  • @0live0wire0 Whoa, there's no need to criticize any band like that. Sure it's a stretch going from an 80's pop punk band to a classic/hard rock band from the 70's, who happened to make history, but really? Suck dick?

  • This is a great version very psychedelic!

  • The Song Remains the Same version of Dazed is soo amazing,the solos and jams are honestly not on Earth.

  • yes

  • beautiful

  • man i heard a live version of dazed and confused on the radio babk in say 85 i guess we smoked a killer joint and the song blew my f*&%#@ mind!

  • HOLY NUTS!! Roberts voice is blowing my mind!

  • After this gig they all almost died in a blizzard on their way to LA. Richard Cole said it in his book, read it, its great

  • In my top 5 solos of all time...that's for sure!

  • wats the one song wit the piano, any tht cud tell me wud help

  • the one with the piano on zeppelin 1 is called your time is gonna come

  • Organ

  • Simply bad ass.. They were one of them bands that can make shitty recording sound beautiful.

  • GREAT

  • #1 LED ZEP#1

  • I think Zeppelin surpassed the beattles bar a wide range and the music the beattles where doing was never done live. Led zepp masterd the live shows.

  • I love Led Zeppelin and always have, but the Beatles were in a universe all their own. They influenced an entire generation and their experience with dealing stardom on a professional and personal level was unlike the world had ever seen. It´s very hard to come across an unknown Beatles song that didn´t have a strong cultural impact of some sort. No disrepect to Zep as they were the the biggest band of the 70´s, but no other group has been able to compare to the Beatles before or after.

  • I would agree with if you reverse the bands names. Just put Zeppelin where you put the Beatles name and vice versa. I've always liked Beatles, but Zeppelin had every bit the impact on music, if not more, that The Beatles did. Of course Beatles were more mainstream so the media fell all over them, but Led Zeppelin was/is absolutely revered and worshipped by three generations now, and I would argue that their music has been more enduring. No disrespect, but Zep remain rock's greatest band.

  • I have always given Beatles great credit, but Zeppelin, despite your damning with faint praise, was every inch as innovative and influential, and for my money, the finest rock band that ever stepped on a stage.

  • greatest pop band beatles

    greatest hard rock band led zep

    greatest live band the who

  • Interesting to put it that way. Pretty, smart, actually.

  • thanx, also love Blood ,Sweat & Tears, Steely Dan, & others, but hard to catagorize them all, nor should they be pigeon hole-ed..like the greatest guitarist argument, the pro's don't keep score, they just either respect another player or they don't..for me i am a semi-pro retired guitarist & i feel either a band or a player moves me or they don't & the only way i rate them is how much this one moves me as compared to another..and that's where I leave it...

  • i love both zeppelin and beatles. but their are really now similarities besides their legendary and very well known. But in the end i will always side with zep

  • does anyone else get high just listening to Page play this song?

  • I picture the audience at about 4:28 where it sounds like Page goes somewhere in outer space with the bow. That place must have been mind-blown watching this in 1968...

  • The Beatles - The Rolling Stones.. = Boy bands!!

  • i can see saying that about the early beatles, up until about rubber soul, but from 65 onward i dont really think you can call the beatles a boy band. the rolling stones definetely shouldnt be labeled a boy band. those guys are bad ass

  • in 1968, the band of god was born

  • i love this so much

    i wish that led zeppelin stuck to this style

    kind of a psychadelic style of metal or somethin luv watchin them perform it live

  • i agree that they were good at it but dude, what makes zeppelin so amazing is how versatile they were. sticking to one style is also known as the "one trick pony" and its the killer of alot of bands.

  • Does anyone remember laughter?

  • Comment removed

  • There is a video on youtube claiming zeppelin stole songs and almost every artist did that dont you think ?i think zeppelin took the songs and mad them amzingly beautiful !

  • well artists give credit but they didn't. on some songs they did but not all of them.

  • some of these bootlegs sound so good its a real shame they dont have a video

  • Holy crap... I graduated from Gonzaga last year and the student body association could only get crappy bands like Something Corporate, Yellowcard, Guster and Ben Folds to perform at our school. I can't believe one of the greatest rock bands of all time did one of their first shows at GU. Makes me mad I wasn't born a few decades earlier...

  • Birth of the gods.

  • Led Zeppelin did more with their influences than any band of the rock era. By that I mean they took the music they loved (as all bands do) and then by applying their unique genius they created brilliant varied and enduring music. Hundreds of bands honored their blues idols with a lifted lyric here and there. The MUSIC Zep created was incredibly original and daring. They came after Zep only because they became the biggest band ever and there was money to be made.

  • i know i might get "trampled underfoot" (xcuse the pun) here for saying this but while I like zeppelin, The title of BIGGEST BAND EVER has been bestowed upon another band.

  • "The title of BIGGEST BAND EVER has been bestowed upon another band."

    Ummm ... Queen, maybe?

  • Queen, biggest band ever??? Great band but far from biggest (or best).

  • NO NO NO NO!

  • Good, but greatest?  No fuckin' way. That title goes to Zep.

  • Agreed! Zep remain rock's greatest band. Never heard this very early version of "Dazed and Confused". Thanks.

  • Say what you will, but these white boys can flat-out play blues.

  • Drums kicks ass around 6:00-6:30. Nice quality of live sound for the time and for early Led Zeppelin too.

  • BNR Susie yes, you are very very correct. we look up to them. they have created the new era. we love them long long time. up to now still have new, young people to join us. i'm proud to be an LZ fan....

  • the lucky bastards that saw them at their start and didnt know they were witnessing the starting of a new era of music long live led zeppelin

  • shame its not filmed

  • Everybody,

    Shut up and enjoy a slice of history. You're not an expert, neither am I. LZ loved the blues. They were paying tribute to Muddy, The Wolf and other icons.

    Kingsuji

  • Every bass player should listen to this. The whole song hangs on every bass note.

  • You know it's funny but after reading my last comment I realize how defensive you get about a band that you've invested so much time into. You do tend to go a little on the edge. Rock On and enjoy

  • Shut the f**k up, you moezmoe moron! Haven't you anything better to do than critisizing all the time???

  • the only reason led zeppelin "copied" songs in the early years, was cuz they were proving to everyone how they can take any sort of song and make it amazing. which they did.

    all 4 are soo damn good

  • Great, great early Zeppllin. Robert learned to sing great blues and rock with Jimmy's coaching, (watch the Zepplin DVD. Robert follows Jimmy's guitar.)! It's amazing how two such talented people came together and brought the best out of each of them to give us such great music. Jimmy Page is a guitar legend, and Robert Plant has proved he can sing everything from blues, folk, rock, and country rock. I'm just proud to be an early Zepplin fan, and a current fan.

    Thank you!

  • i think its amazing that Plant wasnt a big name at all when Jimmy found him. He hadnt been in a band or anything. Just a guy who worked on his vocals all the time by his self. thats dedication.

  • Comment removed

  • Why do people have to put labels on musicians.."They are who they are" Not the Beatles, Not the Who..Just Led Zeppelin, All you are trying to do is show how much music experience you have...Which is nothing unless you've done it yourself..

  • I can see why this music really struck people back in 1968/9. sounds like pagey has made a deal with you know who. fucking amazing.

  • where did you get this ? sound footage like this is extremely rare! imagine its 50 years old. in a few years it might not even exsist. i hope you save this and guard it with your life, cuz thats history in the making right there.. Keep the rare performances coming. legends never die man,john bonham rocks in this one.would you happen to have an early performance of Moby Dick?
