  • ROCK LEGEND

  • 3:29 middle finger flashy!

  • excellent concert! great great sound!

  • Led Zeppelin Facts: Robert Plant had throat issues starting in 1971. From that point on, his vocal range slowly, very slowly, deminished. 1974 he had surgery for (nodes?) on his vocal chords. If he would have taken care of the issue and let things heal up nicely, he would have retained most of the vocal power he had prior to 1974. Instead, he went straight into rehearsals with the band though his voice was not polished. Hence most of the 1975 bootlegs he seemed a bit "woozy" vocally.

  • @JustinPierce1226 Part of '75, like the beginning of '75 El Roberto also had the flu which affected him for a while.

  • Robert Plant is always good .Perfect

  • This sounds sped up.

  • Why does Robert Plant's voice sound lower in this version than it did in the studio recording? Is it just because he's older, or did he do something to it in the recording to make it higher? Some sort of device? Helium?

  • @GhostyFilms if you listen to bootlegs of their live performances up to 1972,he used to sing this and the rest of their songs like rock and roll,over the hills and far away,etc. much like the studio version,hitting all those high notes!so i guess he just lost his voice after it..all that screaming without any special training can be really harmful for a voice!that could be one reason..

  • @GhostyFilms it because the problem with his voice. i don't know for sure. but he smoke and singing hard in every concert. that maybe caused the problem with his voice.....check out the bootleg recordings *highly recommended*

  • @GhostyFilms He had surgery to remove 'nodes' on his vocal chords in late '73 or early '74; one, he never let his voice rest enough after the surgery and two, he strained it so much from 1969-1972, that it just couldn't go on forever. However, his more mature voice from 1993 - present day is still incredibly powerful and he hits some of those high notes, unbelievable as it is, as if it's still 1972! This version is from the 11th -- the 4th version is MUCH better, IMHO. (As is all of the show.)

  • AC/DC and Led Zeppelin are the two best bands ever, period

  • never not disappointed in Robert's voice live. He can't hit shit. That's what's missing. Period. he tries to compensate with various screams and groans that are embarrassing to listen to. I end up regretting I ever watch these live performances and go back to listening to the masterful studio recordings.

  • @travkatz

    I give 'em all credit for being conscious, they must've been really fucking high.

  • @travkatz He sure rocked like all hell during the Page/Plant 1998 tour.

  • @travkatz There's a lot of live bands you'll never like then.

  • @travkatz youre not a true zeppelin fan, this live stuff is the showcase of how amazing zeppelin truly was, we can see the musical genius and what separates them from the rest, the studio recording is just songs, Jimmy Page admits they lived for going on stage "every night we went on stage it was totally living"

  • @travkatz did you ever heard some bootleg recordings? first time i listen to zeppelin, it was kinda wierd. you know, when you heard communication breakdown in studio version, then compared it to the Earls Court version. where's the voice on that studio version? then i started listen to some of their bootleg. after that, i said "HE'S MY FAVORITE SINGER". even the greatest singer have a problem with his voice.

  • Highway to Hell was going platinum this year 79.

  • I left a comment here about a month ago & u contact me saying i'm wrong. I ask u 2 leave me alone so u pester me non stop. What do u want, 4 me 2 just say Page sux and ur better. I'm sorry but watching u perform 4 12 seconds was GENEROUS. I was going to quit at 8. Try pressing on the fretboard a little harder instead of that awful scratching nails down the board sound u make.U suck & u claim ur a teacher. Everyone on this site is a rocket scientist or whatever suits the argument.Ur a boring liar

  • 5 people have no taste

  • I was eating dinner the other day and me and my dad were discussing music and like live performances and shit and so he goes on the computer and I asked him what are you doing. He said giving you a lesson, and just put Led Zep live at knebworth on :P

  • @TheJosh142 so what did you learn?

  • The prove that monotheist religion is stupid

  • @polo339 nice one ;)

  • pure amazing

  • even if they all were fuckin smashed out of their minds they still are and will always be the best rock band ever!!!!

  • this song is so much better live than on the third album....

  • fucking TERRIBLE EMBARRASSING!!!

    lackluster performance. They were WELL over done by this point in the career of the band.

  • @zenos12 not even close man. these were rough times for the band because jimmy was experimenting with some heavy drugs, plant and bonham were always drunk on stage. they could rock you out of the water any day of the year. even now, when they're all 60+ years old.

  • fun ass song

  • Oh yeah im hearin this! be a rockin tune!

  • so sad seeing jimmy play like this 

  • @QuadroWho you can do better ? You must be the best hidden secret in music ever!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @barrtarr

    Seems that a point has been missed.

  • @fbur59 Have someone explain it to you. I can't water my comments down for illiterates

  • @barrtarr

    I was not referring to myself...

  • @barrtarr Any 15 year old kid who's been taking lessons for two years can play better than this. Sad, but true. I love Zeppelin but Page totally lost all skill after '73.

  • @KevyNova LMFAO, I just checked your vids to see if u had anything to offer. I don't think you're qualified to comment on the noise a cat makes when it's being strangled let alone a Jimmy Page performance. Not being cruel for the sake of it but honestly ..... a one handed deaf 2 year old could do better than whatever u call that. i suppose u think Leadbelly & Hendrix are sub par too ?

  • @barrtarr

    Leadbelly & Hendrix were great. Page was also great, before he let drugs get the better of him. You can criticize my playing all you want if it makes you feel better because coming from someone who thinks Page's playing is actually good in this video, your opinion doesn't mean anything to me.

  • @KevyNova I never said it was good. You assume incorrectly.My criticizing your playing isn't to make me feel good, just push the point that when people can't do it themselves, they become critics. Do you think Brando's dream was to write a movie guide or Armstrong wanted to look at the moon through a telescope. No, they did what they did 'cause they could. The people who don't have the skill, say Brando's fat, the moon landing's fake and Page isn't a good guitar player.Enjoy your 'music', critic

  • @barrtarr

    Actually, you're the one who is "assuming incorrectly." I'm not a critic. I never said that Page wasn't a talented guitarist, I said that he lost his abilities after '73 due to his drug use. I happen to think that he was a great guitarist, UNTIL he let his drug use ruin it. But again, if you really do think that he played as well after '73 as he did before, then your opinion of good guitar playing doesn't impress me at all.

  • @KevyNova Read the comments again, i never said he was good. Go away gnat. You are boring me now. Get some lessons for your next talent contest. LOL

  • @barrtarr

    Oh yeah, you never said that he was good, you just said that "a one handed deaf 2 year old could do better than" me. By the way, if you're gonna say stuff like that, you better have something to back it up with. Otherwise, you have no more right to criticize me than I do to criticize Page's playing. So tell me, what videos of mine did you watch and what is so bad about them? And where are your videos?

  • @KevyNova SILENCE. I TIRE OF YOUR INSOLENCE.

  • @barrtarr

    Haha! In other words, you can not answer my questions. Just as I thought. By the way, would you like to know one more reason why your detailed critique of my playing doesn't bother me at all? It's because I actually make a very decent living as a full-time, professional musician and music teacher. I get paid every day to play guitar, so I don't really care what some fanboy on youtube with no videos has to say. Happy Thanksgiving.

  • @KevyNova You're right.You don't seem bothered.You seem distraught.Why do you need to prove yourself to a stranger every 2nd minute ? I saw 12 seconds of you trying to play ( it's as long as I could last ) and it's clear as crystal you have no musical training, knowledge or talent. Lying about your profession is sad. As 4 ur unanswered questions, I don't own a camera and I don't know what vid i watched of yours as I hit the close button so quickly I didn't get a chance 2 c it. Please don't reply

  • @barrtarr You call me a liar and then finish with "Please don't reply?" Wow. So let me get this straight, you saw 12 seconds of a video that you can't even name and that is grounds to insult my playing and call me a liar? And I seem distraught because I respond to your insults? FYI, I didn't lie about my career at all, but you obviously lied when you said you watched my videos. If you are going to insult people, you better be able to back it up or else you're just another coward on the internet.

  • @KevyNova Whatever the vid was that I saw it was of a desperate little man begging people to buy his c.d before he began to play and the audience was laughing at him. Does that help narrow it down 4 u or is that every show u do? hahahahahahaha. Loser. There's probably a music tutorial on here somewhere if it helps. Keep teying though. As much as u hate Page ( "after drugs" lol- he always did drugs in his career) it's as equal to how much u stink at what u call music.

  • @barrtarr

    Haha, yes that does narrow it down! So you watched "12 seconds" of me playing UKULELE so that you can tell me how horrible of a GUITAR player I am and you don't even have a single video to back it up with. Haha, that just proves that you are either a liar AND an idiot or you're 12 years old. Either way, I am done with you.

  • @KevyNova I don't have a video to back it up ? Back what up? A video of me saying your music stinks? You think that Einstein's theory of relativity doesn't exist because it wasn't documented on a camcorder ? Far out man, I knew your music sucked but your logic is even more off key. Don't let strangers or '12 year old's' upset you so much. it's youtube, fuckstick, learn to deal with stuff without breaking down into a tantrum like the little bitch you are. Get laid by a Korean teenage boy, fag.

  • @barrtarr shut up, get laid by a teenage Korean boy??? what the hell is wrong with people these days...

  • @RyZombie619 bahaha, you say this then close down your account 1 second later !!!! You showed me kevynovas boyfriend.

  • @barrtarr what the hell are you talking about??

  • @RyZombie619 Fuck off troll. I've dealt with the 'multiple account' abortions before. If you want attention or closure or whatever it is, don't make it SO obvious that you create an account, disable it then happen to appear hours later on the original channel. If you dislike this video so much why would you happen to turn up immediately after a user ( you ) contacts me about a post left by me addressing you ? Be discreet if you're gonna have 2 accounts dude. This is sad man. Plus LATE. Move on.

  • @barrtarr LMAO! ok......this is the last time I get involved in someone else's argument....WTF??? why dont you go to my fucking channel and see when my account was created you dumb fuck, i have been on here forever, get a life you paranoid fruit!

  • @RyZombie619 Thank christ it's the 'last time', cause your alter ego has been saying it's the last time he'll blast page 4 some time now. Anyhow zombie...Nova... good luck with hating Led Zep and the Korean boys and changing accounts every couple of minutes. Fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, shouldn't there b a law against cunts like this bagging zep ?????????????????

  • @barrtarr ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? led zeppelin is one of my favorite bands you dip shit. i was watching the damn video and scrolled down to see the comments and saw your absurd comment on fucking korean boys.....i think its really sad how you are so paranoid you think i am a person who was arguing with you earlier.

  • @RyZombie619 Please stop leaving me messages kevynova. They're dull and repetitive. Thank you.

  • @KevyNova you don't think page is any good - I do. We'll leave it at that. Good luck with the ....whatever that was I saw u trying 2 do

  • @barrtarr *sigh* I have to explain this again? I think Page was a GREAT guitarist, until drugs ruined him. I'm not slamming Page's playing, I'm slamming his drug use that made him play like crap.

  • @QuadroWho yeah:(

  • @QuadroWho I hate to admit it, but after watching all the live Zeppelin footage I can find, I really believe that Page was worthless after '73. The thing that blows my mind is that no matter how awful his playing is, people still comment "Page is god" and tear apart anyone who points out the fact that his playing actually sucks. They must be listening with their eyes, because he does still LOOK cool.

  • Possibly my favorite Zeppelin song. They were dinosaurs at this point what with all the new music and attitudes coming out of the UK, their ship had sailed and it all would grind to a halt a little more than a year later. Their legend would only grow.

  • @mnick0962

    true.

    funnily enough though they actually sound quite punk at this stage, thanks mainly to page's smack-induced loss of technique

  • compare the first 15 seconds with the first 30 seconds of Celebration Day (Live at Toronto 1971)......

    is this is what herion does........??

    so sad

  • @maasai123456789 whats "herion"? Are you on drugs maasai?

  • following jimmy's guitar playing causes a headache in this song,ahh i love it ...

  • I was there too...What an experience!

  • I was there. Went in to the site around 4am, Zep finally came on around midnight, gig finished around 3am. So glad to catch them before John Bonham sadly passed away.

  • Page - most influential rock artist ever - he had his issues, but he had some genious as well.

  • I was lucky enough to see the original Zep twice in 1980 when I was stationed in Germany. I was at the failed Nuremburg show when Bonzo passed out three songs in. Fortunately I was able to see them again a few days later in Munich, which I believe was their very last show with Bonham. The whole show was really stripped down, no lazers, disco balls. The venue in Nuremburg was so small it couldn't have sat more than 2,000.

  • @jimistreets at least you saw zeppelin!

  • @NateageIV Yup! Saw them twice in L.A. in the 70's too! I was there when Keith Moon sat in with them! Amazing moment.

  • @jimistreets i have a question what preformances were better playing wise your experiance in the 80s seeing them or the 70s my opion 70s all the way:P

  • @NateageIV Playing-wise, 70's hands down. I enjoyed seeing them in '80 more though because each time I was sooo close to the stage. The 80 shows were a bit like a rock-n-roll revue at times, cause they played a BUNCH of old rockers like "Train Kept A Rollin'" "Heartful of Soul" "White Summer" and a couple of Little Richard tunes, as well as their newer tunes and the regulars. Honestly, to me, by 1980 Page had started to lose some of that "magic" he always had.

  • @jimistreets you lucky fucking bastard

  • @DavidVIIIcool Indeed I am! Thank you very much!

  • @jimistreets yeah man you are so lucky to see led zeppelin live. I never got the chance being born in '93

  • @Kashmir0109 Yeah, second song out of the set just after The Song Remains The Same

  • Roberts Vocal Soooooooooo Powerfull Here!!!!!

  • They degraded in their last years (sad to say, but...) Page was wasted all the time, Plant lost half of his spirit along with his voice, and Bonzo somehow became very technique relating, instead of feel, though most of nowadays bands will never achieve the level they were in their last years, not to mention the "artistic peak"

  • I think its an excellent version. Although you can tell Plant's heart wasn't in it here. He had lost his son about 18 months before and it understandably took its toll on him.

  • beautiful

  • what happened?

  • @Ravenpulse plants son karac died at age 6 i believe to a stomach desease

  • @Pepper2Jason i thought he drowned in pages pool ?

  • @Mightyhumungus i dont think so. i've never heard that before. i could be wrong though.

  • @Mightyhumungus ... no he passed out in a bed at Jimmy's house and choked on his own vomit.

  • @zed0469 like how Bon Scott (AC/DC) died?

  • @nothingbutrock666 Bon Scott died?

  • @ordolight1 yes he did, Brian Johnson (Geordie) took his place in 1980

  • no, i love the video

    we have the luck of like this master piece

  • Wow...I'm the only one who liked it ???

  • page was sloppy because he was always trying to play 7 parts at once.this ones a mess .still best there was .

  • he just lost his voice, the high notes just dont happen anymore.

  • he`s had two surgeries for throat polyps

  • @PAULOcbi i didn't know that, thats why

  • Accualy page was playing bad, to be page. But he did not fuck it all up so its still good, the vocals are quite good its just that this is a youtube vid whit shitty quality. But yes plant was better before earls court, but still greate.

  • Best Led Zeppelin song hands down sloppy or clean just fkn great and I like the one from TSRTS a lot better

  • Yup, Page and Heroin don't mix. Probably is the worst stage of his career, and I say that as a HUGE Page fanatic.

    I had the VHS of this show and anyone who thinks he didn't go back and "fix" the guitars for the live DVD thing a couple years ago is also tripping...lol Would love to have these side by side to compare.

  • I just heard the original bootleg uncut. doesn't sound so different

  • This next song is umm ahhh BLACK DOG!

  • Page was sloppy....I was there for it while in the USAF over there. Of course we were sloppy tripp'n too! These vidoes of Knebworth 1979 bring back lots of memoriies.

  • i find that his sloppiness made him so great, you know hard to immitate

  • 30 YRS UNTOUCHABLE

  • expt pages solo kicked ass

  • -1? bomham is god bass and drums were godly plant and pagey had some trouble playing itsthe drugs.. happens right?

  • looks like the lust liquer and cocain among other things caught up with them at this point

  • It was Pages heroin addiction that made this night so bad.

  • heroin...

  • the drums saved the songs ass at this preformance

  • I like this song, but this is a sloppy performance of it.

  • Yeah many song in this year at this concert where somehow not led zep quality... like if jimmy was trying a new pedal effect!

  • WOW the guitar solo especially the first one was very simalar to the album.....THATS RARE!

  • Not on this song. Its pretty consistent on Celebration Day but I know what you mean ^.^

  • yeah... i think this song is one of the few jimmy always does the solo similar to the album

  • Jimmy!

  • oh yeah!!!!!!!led zeppelin baby!

  • BOnham= GOD

  • @grbr78

    well if Bonham is God, then Moon must be God Sr. ;)

  • @bennyvega100 not really hes more like gods twin-crazy brother

  • @DBZMANIAC13

    Yeah, that's another good way of putting it.

  • @grbr78 you got that right plz look at my page top 10 vids Mike = bonham = god

  • There is a god... it's called Led Zeppelin

  • I WANT 1972 73 74 FOOTAGE

  • there is actually less 1974 footage...and as I know, there are some few bootlegs from 1972, however, I only found sydney showground and US- stuff, but not on youtube. 1973..they did a huge US-Tour in that year, although it seems there is less footage material, too! You may find some stuff from Dallas, but I actually didn´t have a look for those

  • Zep didnt tour in 74 thats when they took time off and worked on Physical Graffiti

  • you got that right i worthship them

  • When Bonham and JP Jones kick in it's like a freight train.

  • Wish I'd been standing on those tracks! That's gotta be the most powerful rhythm section in rock history...

  • your a spaz beestmode360tube

    b1nh415 just said that it doesn't matter if they did drugs and than you write an entire essay back at him

    you need a life

  • heavy

  • Fuck fest below.

    Grow up,Children.

  • I wish there were more shots of jones playing. *He* doesn't sound sloppy in this

  • well sloppy dose sound a bit better

    maybe he just wants it to be impossible to immitate because to play it sloppy no matter how hard you tried you would be able to immitate

    maybe thats why Jimmy wont let the game company put there music in games like Guitar Hero

  • its actually probably cause guitar hero is the stupidest game on the face of the planet and hes not a compleeete sellout like paul mccartney

  • did anybody notice that jimmy is sloppily playing?

    he must be on some lsd... haha

  • Are you serious? That's like saying, "did you notice the sun is hot?" :~)

    Jimmy was always sloppy, but in his case it was still GREATNESS!

  • not lsd man. he was doing heroin, and shit loads of it

    and sometimes, a little slop sounds better than precise

  • Fuck off, no matter if he was taking drugs, he's the best so stfu

    LZ the best ever

  • Hey FUCK you. If you could read, you would have seen that i said, "a little slop sounds BETTER than precise"

    You don't need to be a fucking cunt salad i don't care if he was taking drugs or not, and in fact, his performances were more emotional and better when he was doing heroin

    SO FUCK YOU AND GO DIE YOU FUCKING BITCH I WILL TEAR YOU A NEW ONE you know nothing about anything you fat ass piece of shit

    don't fucking mess with me

  • i wouldnt call it sloppy,more like...pagey

  • All you guys are fucking wanna be Led Zeppelin lovers. Jesus christ...

    DIdn't any of you notice that it is now a trend to like Led Zeppelin? Yeah society sucks..

  • Hey fuck face

    Stop trying to pretend like youre a societal analyst

    Led Zep has been and will always be my favorite band. I know more about them than I do my own parents, and I listen to Robert Plants voice, pageys guitar, jpjs bass, and bonzos drums more that anything else. Wannabe? At least Im not a wannabe gay fuck face like you.

  • So basically you're saying you're their number one fan?

    You're living the dream young sir.

    And "a wannabe gay fuck face like you"

    First of all I never titled myself as a "lover" of their band,

    second I pity your immaturity and misuse of words.

    Who's in control? I'm playing you like a fiddle.

  • Just suck my dick bro, youre a fag and a tool

    No one who is actually still living says the words "im playing you like a fiddle"

    I SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT TO SAY PLAY MY BALLS LIKE A FIDDLE YOU COCK FACE

    How about that, BITCH?

  • I'd say you're the tool buddy. You're use of immature and poor word choices don't just make you win an argument.

    What's wrong?

    You're probably sitting at home trying to think of cuss word comebacks to get back at me.

    I pity your immaturity. You act like a 13 year old.

  • You're still the person who thinks he's awesome on youtube by saying such cool select phrases, such as "I'm playing you like a fiddle" and "I pity your immaturity" and "young sir." Get the fuck out of here and leave me alone. This is and never was an argument. You're a piece of shit with a god complex for a character. Get off of youtube and get in legitimate arguments with real people in real life and, while you're at it, drown yourself.

  • You're right. Run away from things in life buddy, when you can't defeat them don't.

    So by telling me to drown myself you prove nothing.

    And a God character? It's called intelligence, seriously.

    You're the one that started the argument. My comment was never directed towards you. And continuing commenting me back proves yourself a hypocrite in the sense that you nagged the "argument" on. And ending with ignorance in your last phrase?

    You prove nothing

  • Run away from things in life? What the fuck are you talking about? You're the most immodest, arrogant person i have ever had the misfortune to talk to. "So by telling me to drown myself you prove nothing." WHAT THE FUCK? How does my statement have anything to do with proving anything to you? You are the most insignificant little fuck who has always felt that everyone other than he was wrong, and thus feels that everything must be proven to you. AND youre also the fuck who calls everyone buddy

  • Conceded? No.

    Considering you responded to a comment that wasn't directed to you, and flamed with cuss words, wouldn't that make you the arrogant one?

    From there it's called defense.

    And if it doesn't prove anything, why would you have said it. Of course you're trying to prove that you're elite, top class, considering its your conclusion to your horridly written rebuttal.

    And sorry that I don't wreak hatred among people? I'm consulting you maturely. Notice how I haven't cussed at you once?

  • HHAHAHAHA glad to see you know the definition of arrogance. and by know, i mean you have no fucking idea.

    1. your profile is devoted to teaching people how to snipe in call of duty

    2. you think youtube is a site where you can "consult you maturely"

    3. your vocabulary is shit

    4. youre a fucking retard

    5. youre second paragraph is my prior comment rewritten.

    6. this means that youre also the person who, when called a fag, just says, no youre a fag

    FUCK OFF

  • be nice [lease lol

  • wow, angry much?

  • He sang without mojo this song. Rare for him.

  • my, my, my, Im so happy

    :B

  • How come Pageys using the doubleneck?as on the new release of TSRTS where this tracks been added Pageys using the Gibson Les Paul on that version.

  • The Song Remains the Same was the opening song and this followed right after

  • one of my favs, who cares, long live zep!

  • Thats for sure,watch the rock and roll song at this concert,and witness the Master!!

  • Bonham was at his best at this gig.

  • Who gives a fuck?

    He rules.

  • diabetes

  • true!

  • Classic! Love seeing it being played on the doubleneck!Wouldn't change a thing!

  • che tenero che era percyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, you're right. Who cares whether they are sloppy or not it's still ZEPPELIN. And more to the point Robert looks absolutely gorgeous! Sorry boys but us girls can't help but drool...!

  • is your screen name a frank zappa reference? haha

  • yes jimmy is a little sloppy at this point because of his heavy drug use but even when he is sloppy he still sounds good thats why we are watching it right

  • not even that he said his playing was shit or great
