  • whell... whether this is page or not.. this is still a fantastic musician playing!

    I enjoyed listening to these pieces a lot :)

    ps it is indeed very page-esque

    And right before the last recording. THAT is with out a doubt plants voice.. soo.....

  • damn a lotta haters!! cant we all just dig on some zep music and groove? practice, goofin whatever, if you're a zep fan,dig it, if you're not a zep fan then listen to the kind of music that you like... dig on what you enjoy.....

  • The voice behind the second one sounds nothing like Plant. It sounds like a 45-55 year old woman with an english accent.

  • Very cool!

  • This sucks. I have a recording of me on cassette that sounds just like this.

  • This has been around for years and yes it is Led Zeppelin/Jimmy Page recording demos.

  • this does sound just like livin after midnight at the beginning, and I agree with the comments at the top, this def does not sound like Jimmy's hand playing that song, and thats def not his acoustic finger picking, either a tool purposely pretended this to be Zepp or is mistaken. perhaps we just think we know Zepp too well but sure doesnt sound like the raw beauty of Page's picking and fingering work to me.

  • Comment removed

  • thank you....every note that comes out from Jimmy Page's guitar is precious..

  • awesome

  • Who's on lead guitar on the third track? Lori Maddox?

  • What are your sources? Where'd you find this?

  • B fine F sharp C minor

  • Not sure about the real point of putting all those unfinished tracks on YouTube but there are some good moments here with a typical homemade charm. That's right: some embryonic chord sequence of “The Rover” pop up in the first song. Davey Graham & Bert Jansch influence is everywhere especially on the last tune (with vocals in the background). There's a great acoustic demo at the end of the “Bombay sessions” too. All those great pics make you forget you should be watching a video instead... Lol!

  • The first song became: The Rover

  • @01sapphireGTS if we could just join hands...

  • the first one sounds like a country blues or country gospel players.

  • whats page playing in the begging, what song has that riff, i barely recognize it

  • @FindingOsamaGrumbles I think Donovan- Season of The Witch

  • @FindingOsamaGrumbles

    Reminds me of Living After Midnight by Judas Priest.

  • Why does no one think this is Page??

    It is very , very possible that this is Page, personally I believe its him

    This totally sounds like his style, especially when you hear all the outtakes that came out of Bron-Yr-Aur and Headley Grange

    The people who say this isn't Page prob only know his hard hitting stuff

  • @ 4:01 does anyone know what kind of guitar Jimmy is playing?

  • 12 string possibly

    if not, its just a 6

  • It's definitely a 12 string, I was wondering if anyone knew what make of guitar it was

  • oh i thot u ment in the audio... i never even looked at the picture

    umm idk what brand that is

  • There was a video on Google Video that featured some very beautiful acoustic guitar and piano works. Anyone know where I can find that?

  • LMAO at the toss pot that made this

  • this is just some silly wanker recording some wanking to go along with the posted pictures....

  • tell that to led zep history, not me.

  • @TheWantonMan

    If we told it to Led Zep history, it would come over here and kick your ass for faking it. And we're being generous because we don't want to do that to you.

  • @ELan8891 rrrrrrright. believe what you want, this is very much Page's style, your crazy if you don't think so

  • @TheWantonMan

    I agree man,this is so page

  • @ELan8891 @ELan8891 rrrrrrright. believe what you want, this is very much Page's style, your crazy if you don't think so

  • @ELan8891 & say it isn't Page, it's gotta be Plant. they were all equally creative

  • 6:43 definately sounds like Plant speaking and humming afterward. Some moments of promise, in the last "tune". Sure, There's a lot of aimless wanderings taped with a chessy recorder but there just searching for ideas. It's Zep, Man. .

  • Actually, this is from the Bron-Yr-Aur demos by Zep. I have a copy from the "Tribute to Johnny Kidd and the Pirates" Zep bootleg wit more of the same and Robert Plant signing and humming over it.

    The Zep musicologists and bootleg collectors out there all have verified these as legit demos, though they are very rough.

  • @pcollenYT i agree this is too sloppy to be page. he plays with precision and this is a wannabe.

  • @pcollenYT well unfortunately....that's not funny

  • @pcollenYT They add the pictures because its zeppelin not because he wants us to think thats when the songs took place.

  • That come from Led Zep, so i love it. Thats all.

  • Plant has always played acoustic guitar. I think he might have been playing the first cut on the outtakes.

  • ..Its peter Grant...zeps manager...tries to show how his band sounds like...

  • If it is any of the members of Led Zeppelin, it is definitely not Page or Jones. It very well could be Plant or Bonham though; I've read that Bonzo occasionally picked up an acoustic.

  • Too many fingering errors to be a professional. No understanding of song structure. Thrashing amateur. NOT PAGE.

  • maby it is page but recorded while drunk or high?

    we all know he was sloppy, he might just fooled around a bit.

    just because you can play flawless doesnt mean you do it all the time, especially on new pieces.

  • thats a good theorie, but nobody know a shit about that video, so lets just enjoy and dre,m

  • Remind anyone of The Rover, just a few chords here and there?

  • C'mon, if you guys think this is as good as page, then you deserve to think it's actually him..

  • Regardless of whoever it is, it's bloody good. Where did you get this though?

  • fuck yeah! tis ain't page.....

  • I think this was recorded in Bron Yr Aur cottage in 1970.

  • Even when page is practicing, he is a much better player than what I hear. This is the sound of an amatuer guitar player. I know Page when I hear him, and this is not him- nowhere near the talent of Page. Matter of fact, it's worse than my own playing.

  • haha. which is WHY i'm saying, it might be plant. or even jones.

  • Plant more likely, even back then Jonesy could play really fine guitar, mandolin, banjo, and just pretty much whatever was handed to him. But then, I wasn't there so how can I know.

  • dude jones is a good guitar palyer...it must be plant or some fucker fooling us around

  • damn yeah man ... when Page is playing acoustic .... its doesn`t soun like that

  • it's probably plant, he wasn't nearly as good as jonesy or page on guitar. but nevertheless, i think it's still a nice, mellow riff - just because it's not up at page's ability doesn't make it bad

  • It isn't exactly the best playing but this is still creative and original. Its not the fact that you could play this better its the fact that you didn't write it, which makes this person better than you.

  • Well, it doesn't sound like Page to me. Even if the music was Zeppelin's, Page plays better than that- even when he was 15. But the style sucks to much to anything written or even stolen by Zeppelin.

  • that my friend is the mystery behind these outtakes. who says it's not plant, or even jones playing ?

  • omg i stumbled across a real musical nerds girl fight! Truly a rarity on the internet lol

  • Now way this is Zep. Page had a handle on studio recording in his early youth, before he ever met plant. Never ever did he have sloppy audio work for "scratch" tracks. This person sounds American. Not British. I hear the folk sounds that are American. Pages folk influence was from Roy Harper. Not hillbillies in eastern states of America. Page always syncopated all of his guitar rhythms. I hear very little syncopation in any of this. The way this person "holds" their guitar cords, its not Page.

  • all of you saying it's not Page need to wake up & realize these are outtakes from the 11 disc box set of LED ZEP outtakes. if this wouldn't be the mighty zep they wouldn't be on that set. & for your info, "YouSpamTard", these were recorded at bron-yr-aur on a tape recorder, not a studio.

  • I dont think this is on any zep cd set. I know its not because I know what is going on here. It is so much not like Page I have no choice other than to believe it is not page. Gor example: the begging of this video is someone playing a improvised version of "ramble on" and the "rover". I know these songs were not made this way. The improve is someones butchery to the already made and completed song. Not the beginning of the making of a song.

  • believe what you want my friend, this is part of zep history stolen right out of Jimmy's bedroom, and history doesn't lie. & plus, since you keep insisting that this isn't Page, who's to say Plant didn't play on these recordings ? The voice in the background suggests this.

  • Nahh, I been writing songs for 40 years now. A song is like a tree. It grows in stages. The stages of the song in this video are not growing, the are degraded stages of growth. Obviously, you are a know it all, yet you know shit about music.

  • don't put words in my mouth. yes, a song grows in stages. these aren't songs YET, they're songs in the making. therefore it wouldn't make sense for them to grow in just one outtake would it ? -_- have you even listened to all 3 outtakes ? i bet not.

  • Songs grow from what is referred to a motif, or a motive. It is the roots to a songs growth. A motif can never really be changed. It is possible to rework a motive a little bit, but to change a motive means to make a new song. New roots mean a new tree. In the first outake, its somebody playing "Ramble On". They have simple changed the rhythm a little bit. Page would not go back and try to re hatch that motif because he knows it would go no place other than the place he already taken that motif.

  • that's understandable. problem is, this has nothing to do with the fact that these are ZEP OUTTAKES. if you're gonna argue about this, don't argue about it with me because these aren't "mine" ; talk about your motifs with either pagey or the people who released the box set of outtakes.

  • These pretend outtakes are pooping up all over youtube now. This video is just one of many. It aint on any zep box set, and don't say it is unless you have it in your hand and can confirm such a thing. You are a musical idiot. Go perform your idiot version of the wanton song. Thing is, if you are clever, which you are not, you can gain a real incite to Page's way of thinking, musically, if you know what to look for. Stupid kid. It aint your fault you are stupid. Modern culture makes you stupid.

  • Musical idiot ? ok, youre a 40 to 50 year-old loser arguing with a teen through YT first of all. Second, it would make sense for you to have more musical knowledge than me because yur that much older. Yet at my young age, I have just as much incite to Pages musical style as you. Third, I didnt make my own version, & if it would be an idiot version it wouldnt have such a good rating. Id appreciate you not wasting my time anymore with your motifs & over arguments your dumb ass cant win.

  • Young man, Im trying to help you , as I try, usually in vain, to help others. You are not stupid, as I previously said you were and I apologize for saying such a thing. However, you are a musical idiot. I was a musical idiot when I was your age as well.

    Do you want to know the mind of Page? Transcribe onto musical staff paper all of his riffs. Soon, you will begin to realize, Page, the gifted melody man that he was, had a spurt of growth that came from John Henry Bonahm. Start with Bonham.

  • Its alright I guess. But ok, I see his spurt of growth but how did it come from Bonham ?

    & going back to the outtakes, I posted these up according to my own personal knowledge. & Im telling you, if this wouldnt be the mighty zep they wouldnt be on antrabatas 11 disc box set of studio sessions. Search it up on google.

  • Very good. You are searching for musical substance and trying to find integrity to your musical thoughts. Salute to you. Great.

    Bonham was the first person to syncopate his kick drum. Meaning, he used it on the + of 4 at the end of the first measure in a two measure phrase. This is critical to understand. Led Zep syncopated almost everything in one way or another. It is this very understanding, amongst others, that tells me this aint Page at all. It just aint. Your personal knowledge is wrong.

  • haha. ^-^

    hmm, i see. well, of course it's critical to understand because without bonham's genious, led zep wouldn't have been what it was. and, supposedly, bonzo played the biggest role in "metallisizing" led zep.

    & i do see your point, but.. who's to say it's not PLANT on these outtakes ? maybe plant AND page for all we know. since you keep insisting that this just can't be page, it's highly undoubtful that it's plant.

  • Dude thank you!

    I cried at the O2 arena show. Damn I was so lucky to attend!

    Long Live the Mighty Zep!!

  • Not Page! The AX sounds out of tune..A lot notes out off key. He's a stickler for being in tune. Just doesn't sound like anything in Pages repertoire. 6;50 on sounds close--but I'm not buy it.

  • It is the initial chord "ideas" for what would eventually become the Rover. At this point, it hardly sounds like the finished piece, so simply calling it "The Rover" is a bit of a stretch. Nevertheless, that's what it ultimately became.

  • the first one is the acoustic rover!

  • dont think so

  • Sounds like Roberts voice last song could be page. maybe Robert was plucking away at first.

  • Not page? just listen to the very end of the first.

    Nobody has a touch like that.

  • not page. who else plays like that, simply beautful and creative could listen forever

  • this is not page dont believe it .

  • give me a reasonable explanation on how this is not page.

  • If I'm not mistaken, that is Plant playing lead on the third song.

  • Comment removed

  • The first song sounds like the song off that one cell phone commercial when all those people are playing instruments

  • those are some pretty acoustic songs I wonder he just didnt release them Iove them

  • anyone who's a zep fan knows how precious these outtakes are. they explain how some of zep's greatest pieces took their form, although some were un-used. and, every zep fan knows that these were recorded with a mere tape recorder, & therefore the sound quailty isn't so great, but good enough. therefore, my friend, YOU'RE not a zep fan.

  • stop bickering amongst yourselves like children music is music you pricks fuck being "a tru zep fan" thats lame anyways just enjoy the goddamn tunes assholes

  • tell that to "buckymoon".

  • I found out what these are.

    I read today in one of my 7387587558 Zeppelin books.

    That page had originally wrote 4 Bron-yr-aurs.

    And didn't release any until Physical graffiti.

    This is 1970 stuff here :D

    amazing video.

    Dont know if im entirely right though.

    Just something i found.

  • thanks for the info !

  • The last one sounds so pretty :)

  • AMEN!!!

  • where do you get all these rehearsals?

  • it almost songs like a very early version of the rover sort of if u get wat i meen

  • the rover was originally wrote in 1970

  • even if it's not zeppelin the songs are great, it's gotten me very inspired :D

  • believe me my friend, that's zeppelin.

    they wouldn't have released these if it weren't

    & yes, it is inspiring to hear their unreleased material take form.

  • how did you get ahold of it?

    im gonna try and figure these out on guitar so i can play them in the park this summer :)

    thanks so much for uploading.

    peace.

  • yeah, same here :D

    & no problem, it's what i'm here for.

  • no offense but thats bullshit.

  • It could've been Plant who occasionally played acoustic guitar.

  • Dude, you have no idea. Jimmy had a very distinct acoustic style and this is it.

  • you said it, brother.

  • @StreeTRacR008 TRUE DAT!!

  • page liked being sloppy sometimes.

  • There is hours beyond hours of this stuff in existance. it's just a matter of it being released.

  • Omg i need some damn tabs for this.

  • i really like these,alot. their really great asongs, thaks for the great post

  • they are, aren't they?

    no problem :D

  • Is one of them Another Way To Wales from Acoustic Origins?

  • i would think so, but i dont know the tune by name so i couldn't really tell you. :T

  • wonder whos soling on the 3rd track

  • just before 4 min, is there a harmonica?

  • Dude how did you get these?! And AWESOME pics!
