Is Page the coolest looking MFer in those shades & that silk outfit or WHAT??? For this band to do the drugs & alcohol they did, play as incredibly as they did, and still LOOK GOOD doing it....those were some MEN.
@LZProjects and mielazul: As a lifelong Led Zeppelin fan and collector of every Zeppelin thing I can find (especially live recordings) I have often wondered the same thing about JP being behind some of these things that get "leaked." It just seems very odd that Empress Valley, Tarantura, and other labels seem to have at least a few brand new soundboard recordings of Led Zeppelin to offer. They're mostly from 1975 and 1977, but I would love to see more 1971-1972 era sounboards - those are killer.
@LZProjects Interesting you bring that up. I've always wondered about these ongoing bootleg releases. I've always wondered if Jimmy was behind some of it. I know he had some precious archives stolen in the '80s - at least that's the story. But with Rob always vetoing various releases (and I love Rob, but let's face it, he can be an obstacle for these things) I've always wondered if Jimmy, who's so proud of the legacy, uses these back channels. Anyway, check my channel for good raw blues
Still have my whole ticket, the gates where rushed and no one was taking tickets. We ended up on the front row. This was Greensboros last festival seating. What a great show. If anyone has pictures or a video I would pay for them.
WHAT A TRIP!!! I WAS THERE!!! They were like 2 hours late getting there, and Jimmy P could barely stand, he was so wasted. Wish the camera had panned to the right, I was standing a few rows back on the right side of the stage,... about 1 minute into this song, a roadie crawled over the top of everyone to get to me (I had snuck in a cassette recorder and he spotted it) by the time he got to me, I had popped the cassette out and put a blank one in the recorder, I still have the tape!!
@wkeasler That's fascinating. How far into the show did you get, as far as recording goes? And how was the quality? Have you transferred it to digital (you should!!!!)? I've always loved the 1977 tour - it seems like the detractors just DON'T GET IT!!! Tell us more about your experience if you can. Thanks...
my dad was at this show... my god. here is the wizard himself, complete with the danelectro, dragon suit, and godzilla-walk to go along with his monster riffs! huge thanks to whoever dug this up! i finally get to see and hear part of this epic show that i've made my dad tell me about thousands of times!
@tangerine1490 That's a Gibson EDS-1275, not a Danelectro '59 DC. He only used the DC on "In My Time of Dying", "Kashmir", and "White Summer/ Black Mountainside."

teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one who still listens to real music, thumb this up, Don't let rock and roll die!!!
We are the band "As i fall", and we are influenced by real music!!
Hear our song here in Youtube, just acess our channel...
As I recall the show started about 45 min late because Jimmy & Bonzo were celebrating and couldnt be found. I still have my room key from the Coliseum HoJo this show was amazing
@8jaxn right, the show started at 9:30 and ran until 1am...they said some bullshit about having to fly back to NYC to find Page & Bonzo...sounds like someone's smack delivery was late...a person who had a better view than me said that Page puked during White Summer, I didn't see it, he swears by it...
@clontarf1002 That's a classic and very funny clarification. Anyway, this show seems pretty rippin' - it's cool that you were there. The Greensboro '75 show has a bad reputation - maybe they were trying extra hard to make up for it. Then again, I've heard recordings of that show, and it actually sounds pretty good in parts, especially given their sick/injured condition. There are always people who will try to tear down the legends, but people like you, who were there, know the truth.
And speaking of critics, I checked out "How Many More Times" from Greensboro '75, which according to that asshole Luis Rey was their "worst ever" show. Can't speak for the rest of the concert, but HMMT sounded wicked - Page was great, and Plant was really trying hard with his flu-stricken throat. I'll say it again - yes, there were some bad shows occasionally...BUT MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. Don't believe the people who are trying to create an easy "Rise and Fall" narrative.
I hitch-hiked to this show with a friend when I was 16 years old from Winston-Salem. Unbelievable. I still remember them pulling up people from the front of the stage before the show because they were getting crushed. I also remember Robert Plant yelling out it was Bonzo's birthday! and turning up a bottle. Good times.
@troutmask1970 Fuck the people who dis this tour. 77 was MOST HIGH. And if people can't understand that some lows come with the highs, they should just stick with the digitized, lip-synched bullshit that corporations are dishing out everywhere now. There was something so majestic about Led Zep when they were on in '77. A lot of people just want to put 77 into the "Fall" segment of their convenient Rise and Fall narrative. IT WASN'T THAT SIMPLE. They could be more magic than ever in 77.
They did a concert in Greensboro?! I didn't know great rock stars came near North Carolina (I live there)! Oh good greif... why couldn't I have been alive yet?
@TheAerochick13 Hahaha, I know right? I live in NC too....and I'm so upset I can't go to the Robert Plant conecert Feb. 7th,,,,but yeah Rockstars do actually come, you just gotta find them.
@iAMmissMegan I went to the Robert Plant show in Charlotte at Ovens Auditorium on February 7th and he and the Band of Joy put on a great show....I could not believe that this concert was not a complete sellout.....People of Charlotte, this is the legendary Robert "Fking " Plant !!!!! I got to sit 13 rows from the stage and it was a magical night.
@Karenfan09 Oh my God, you're super lucky!!! You live near Charlotte? Awesome!!! I'm glad Robert put on a great show for my fellow North Carolinians. Maybe next time......
1977 is my favorite Zeppelin tour. There's no point in arguing with the detractors. They either hear it or they don't. To me, Zeppelin always sounded so MAJESTIC on this tour...even on their worst nights. The tone, the set-list, the insane pagan atmosphere...incredible. Talk to people who were there and most of them feel like it was branded on their brain forever. In my opinion, Zeppelin was one of the few bands for whom things could never get "Too Big." And 1977 was as big as it gets.
@mielazul Being just a bit too young to have seen Zeppelin live, I can't accurately judge, however they sure sounded better to my ear in 1969 or so...could be nothing more than my strong preference for the tone of the Fender Telecaster as opposed to the Gibsons page used later in his career.
@alexdroogie100 Well, your not alone in your opinion that's for sure. And there's so much to love about the early days, apart from guitar tone preferences - you can hear how totally hungry and aggressive they were in making an impact, and Page was just amazingly fluid, as opposed to the kind of ragged style of the later tours. I probably like that ragged style more than most, but my main point was how much I love that imperial majestic vibe of the later tours, especially 77.
@mielazul I agree.Like the BBC show live in London,' 71.Very fluid with "You Shook Me",for instance.This one,Jimmy improvises his runs.Notice how punchy John Paul's Alembic 8 string bass is here..Wow!
@ESmithStringSlinger Yeah. I think I read somewhere - maybe in an interview with JPJ - that Jimmy had some concerns when Jones got the 8-string for the '77 tour. I think he was afraid it would totally dominate the group sound (probably similar to his concerns about Bonzo's interest in a double bass drum). It worked out just fine though - "punchy" is a great word, and it actually complimented Jimmy's playing very well.
i waited in line for 3 days to get tickets for this tour when they played the Myriad in Oklahoma city and the warmest it got was 21 fricken degrees but it was worth it because it was a great show.
I was there. They showed up late because bonzo got lost in the subway in ny. It was his birthday and when they showed up they played for 3 hrs. Awesome concert paid $9.00 for my ticket , a fortune for a concert ticket in those days.
I was there!! was a great concert..my brother and I made the trip to G'boro and its a show I'll never forget. Festival seating, stage rotated out and they kept telling us to back up. I remember some people in the upper deck stringing belts together and lowering themselves to the lower level..firecrackers going off. entering the arena was dangerous.. a wall of people..if you fell down you weren't getting back up easily. Zep was tight .Kashmir was a highlight , so was acoustic set, ah the 70's!
@TheCarolinaRover1 my brother cousin and i also went to this concert, i was 15 it was my first concert, my cousin was the most excited, he started getting mad,because of the long one hour wait, we had stolen alot of weed from some guy next to us, so we were pretty blown by the time led zep came on, so its all a blur.
This is without a doubt the finest sounding recording from the 77 tour, which generally gets panned in the sweep of history because most if not all of the bootlegs of that era are horrible sounding. Jones and Bonham are ferocious in this bit, and Page holds up much better here with some proper sound clarity. Someone got hold of the soundboard and synched it up with the home video. Three minutes of some of Led Zeppelin at the height of their sonic glory.
Why don’t you money hungry sob’s pull all the Zeppelin snippets? They did the same thing to the promoters, 90% for Zeppelin and 10% for the promoters….
Just goes to show that not all '77 performances are bad like so many think. Plant's voice was quite strong here compared to much of '75 and later in this tour.
I was there, front row, general seating. I remember Page wearing the shades when they came out and opened with this. Great show. Sang Happy Birthday to Bonzo with nearly 20,000 other freaks.
The long intro into this song puts a chill on the ol' spinola... Was originally intended by Page to be an instrumental piece, then Plant coughed up some lyrics for it...and walla
@cnthmndz jimmy page is against the music video games. He doesnt like the idea of someone like john bonham having his songs played easily instead of properly learning and taking time with it.
92% of teenagers have turned to HipHop and Pop. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, rate this up and paste this message to another 5 videos.
@cnthmndz --Well just to say it...music wise, for a game, Led Zeppelin would be way better and harded all around on all instruments. Yes the Beatles are great and revolutionary, but so are Led Zeppelin, if not more so. And if Led Zeppelin would say no to a game, they are the ones that will have to suffer denying the world what it deserves and it all comes back in the end.. SHARE your music and let this generation have a new start with your MUSIC!!! Reply if you want this!!!!!
If you THINK and agree that Led Zeppelin should have there own Rock Band Video Game, PLEASE leave a similar Comment and lets try to make this happen!!!!!!!!!
Much love and thanks for your MUSIC. (I also want a Pink Floyd video game)
Great bass sound -- almost sounds like a Musicman, maybe an Alembic? But probably a J-bass. JPJ gettin' in some funk slap/pop there, and it sounds like he's been listening a bit to Geddy Lee. He was such a sponge -- what a great musician, and one of the funkiest rock basses ever. Just totally locked in with Bonham.
@TheNightmareofHell i bet you fucking have a poster of slipknot in your room and when nobody's looking you pull down your pants and start stroking your cock to those faget ass clowns.
It's so great to hear JPJ's bass up in the mix, something the original '76 release of the Song Remains the Same live album/soundtrack sorely lacked. Ahhh, thanks for the memories, Zep. Not crazy about the edit-jumps... we fans really DO wanna hear the whole song!
I WAS THERE!!! They were about 40 minutes late, I had worked 3rd shift the night before, and I was standing maybe 120 feet from the stage. Later I went up pretty close to where this was shot from. I could hear them in my sleep, lol.
I finally got it! This audio is from Capitol Center, Landover, Maryland U.S.A ,May 26, 1977. The bootleg is called " Bringing The House Down ". It's the one where they played Dancing Days and when Bonzo came in early on Achilles Last Stand. Amazing Bootleg!
I was there. The audio us probably from another 1977 show. Seattle maybe. A board tape der sher. There is reported a tape of this show but it has never surfaced. Amazing show.
My hometown, and the city i still reside in, the Gatecity. My Dad was at this concert, he was 17 then, i wish he was still here today to see this video. Led Zeppelin, the best band known to man.
q xevereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee LED ZEPPELIN ES LA MEJOR BANDA DE ROCK ¡¡¡¡¡¡ EL Q NO ACEPTA Q ES BUENA PUED IR A FOOLLAR CN UN ORNITORRINCO Y UN AGAY CN SIDA ¡¡¡¡¡¡
I was recently in the bathroom just now debating whether or not I would literally kill to get Led Zeppelin tickets. I told myself that it was a stupid ultimatum and that killing would make me a bad person, so I brushed away the thought and left it at that. If Led Zeppelin ever has a reunion concert stay off Ticketmaster....
No, just kidding. I don't think so--I'm pretty sure Page is using a twelve-stringed electric, which makes the sound much heavier. I could be wrong, but that's my answer. BTW, this is awesome. They all sound great--JPJ and Bonzo especially! Thanks for posting, dear LZ channel managers--keep 'em comin'!
@rocklover4 yes,listening again to the video I realised that it's the bass,which is higher in volume than usually!In an other comment someone also says that it's an *-string bass!!Probably that's why it sound like that!!

I remember some people in the upper deck stringing belts together and lowering themselves to the lower level..firecrackers going off. entering the arena was dangerous.. a wall of people..if you fell down you weren't getting back up easily. Zep was tight .Kashmir was a highlight , so was acoustic set, ah the 70's!

@TheCarolinaRover1 my brother cousin and i also went to this concert, i was 15 it was my first concert, my cousin was the most excited, he started getting mad,because of the long one hour wait, we had stolen alot of weed from some guy next to us, so we were pretty blown by the time led zep came on, so its all a blur.

Great show. Three hours of Thunder from the Gods. I must have been really close to the cameraman. This looks like my view of the stage.

This is without a doubt the finest sounding recording from the 77 tour, which generally gets panned in the sweep of history because most if not all of the bootlegs of that era are horrible sounding. Jones and Bonham are ferocious in this bit, and Page holds up much better here with some proper sound clarity. Someone got hold of the soundboard and synched it up with the home video. Three minutes of some of Led Zeppelin at the height of their sonic glory.

Why don’t you money hungry sob’s pull all the Zeppelin snippets? They did the same thing to the promoters, 90% for Zeppelin and 10% for the promoters….

Just goes to show that not all '77 performances are bad like so many think. Plant's voice was quite strong here compared to much of '75 and later in this tour.

I was there, front row, general seating. I remember Page wearing the shades when they came out and opened with this. Great show. Sang Happy Birthday to Bonzo with nearly 20,000 other freaks.

The long intro into this song puts a chill on the ol' spinola... Was originally intended by Page to be an instrumental piece, then Plant coughed up some lyrics for it...and walla

@cnthmndz --Well just to say it...music wise, for a game, Led Zeppelin would be way better and harded all around on all instruments. Yes the Beatles are great and revolutionary, but so are Led Zeppelin, if not more so. And if Led Zeppelin would say no to a game, they are the ones that will have to suffer denying the world what it deserves and it all comes back in the end.. SHARE your music and let this generation have a new start with your MUSIC!!! Reply if you want this!!!!!

Great bass sound -- almost sounds like a Musicman, maybe an Alembic? But probably a J-bass. JPJ gettin' in some funk slap/pop there, and it sounds like he's been listening a bit to Geddy Lee. He was such a sponge -- what a great musician, and one of the funkiest rock basses ever. Just totally locked in with Bonham.

It's so great to hear JPJ's bass up in the mix, something the original '76 release of the Song Remains the Same live album/soundtrack sorely lacked. Ahhh, thanks for the memories, Zep. Not crazy about the edit-jumps... we fans really DO wanna hear the whole song!

I was there, too. They were about 40 minutes late, maybe more. RP said something about airport problems I seem to remember.
I had worked the night before, stayed up all day, and was standing ~120 feet from the stage when they started ~10:20 PM.
Best parts of the show: 1) Acoustic Set, 2) JP played all alone ~25 minutes,
3) Presence songs
Later I went up in the seats, stage right. I could hear them in my sleep, lol.
The video doesn't do them justice.

I finally got it! This audio is from Capitol Center, Landover, Maryland U.S.A ,May 26, 1977. The bootleg is called " Bringing The House Down ". It's the one where they played Dancing Days and when Bonzo came in early on Achilles Last Stand. Amazing Bootleg!

I was recently in the bathroom just now debating whether or not I would literally kill to get Led Zeppelin tickets. I told myself that it was a stupid ultimatum and that killing would make me a bad person, so I brushed away the thought and left it at that. If Led Zeppelin ever has a reunion concert stay off Ticketmaster....
kidding.

@porock21gr Overdubbed?!? YOU MUST DIE!!! ;-)
No, just kidding. I don't think so--I'm pretty sure Page is using a twelve-stringed electric, which makes the sound much heavier. I could be wrong, but that's my answer. BTW, this is awesome. They all sound great--JPJ and Bonzo especially! Thanks for posting, dear LZ channel managers--keep 'em comin'!
