The Battle of Evermore

[southrocker]

Congratulations!!! Was magical!!!

[rapmasterjim]

Awesome!! Super Kudos to the music director (singer) of this high school for giving the kids REAL stage performance experience at that age... Absolutely priceless!

[kingsdun]

Was this one of those concerts where they pull out all the stops and make it sound just like the album?  From first to last?

I saw a band do that at The Phoenix in TO a while back, so that is why I ask.

[766Pierre]

@kingsdun no...not really. We just tried to follow the spirit of the song and it brought us close to the original. We changed the mandolin chords a bit to give it more projection.

[Maattzz75]

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shep029]

Wow this was impressive even with such a poor recording. It was pretty much flawless and I guess because the girl is 18 now I can safely say that she's one hot girl and I guess I;ll leave it at that. Amazing display of talent, thoroughly enjoyed this and the girl... :o)

[guitarSGman]

@shep029 anyone know her name? and agreed!

[766Pierre]

@guitarSGman Lauren ...

[DenPay]

Sounds good too me.

[MrDasistgudyah]

[vhillkassel]

Sing as you raise your voice

Shoot straighter than your bow.

sing to the morning light

the eyes turn to brown and black

the tyrant's face is red .. ooo war is a coming now plight!

pick up your swords and fight!

the sky is filled with red and black

that mortals never know

[piercedhands]

im sick of you assholes ruining zeppelin lyrics.

this is my first post and im glad i saved it for ignorant douchebags like you. listen to the original song and get the lyrics right

the dark lord rides " in force" tonight and time will tell us all. and so many more ugly mistakes. tisk tisk

[pierre766]

@piercedhands Dear Piercedhands (for lack of a better name), (1) please refer to the original Led Zep songs done LIVE and you will be astounded at the many times Robert switches verses around and modifies wording... (2) although thank-you for the tips - we got the lyrics from purchased songbooks... your versions are better ! (3) don't call people douchebags - it's rude and only reveals you've got some more zits to pop...

[vhillkassel]

the queen of light took her bow and then she turned to go; the prince of peace embraced the gloom and walked the night alone .....oh ah dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light the Dark Lord rides at first tonight time will tell its foe pick up your file and bow rest not till the morn. side by side to walk the night the darkest hour before.......ohhhwoh aah I hear the voice of thunder down in valley below; I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon waiting for the eastern glow.

[anthlocal]

looks like Bill Bailey, I know it isnt but it sure does look like him. Good hussel! hehe

[FilmForger]

Nice job - the girl is hot but she needs to get into it a bit...she looks a bit bored

[LowStackTom]

pierre is great.

[loganromeroplant]

wow!wow!wow!

[annmaria]

He's great - I'm impressed. She's brutal though.

[AsianSunbather]

It's nice cover.

[mergatroidal]

Percussion arrangement is good; needs more thought to blend, complement certain moments. I'm impressed.

[stone5against1]

nice, sound quality is a bit bad though :/

[Yodaismycopilot]

Still don't know who this is...anybody???

[wwwcoginkcom]

Believe it or not it's a High School band in Canada and their teacher (the male singer). His name is Pierre. Good people.

~CORE

[Yodaismycopilot]

Does the band have a name? etc. Thanks.

[wwwcoginkcom]

Not to my knowledge. Pierre didn't tell me there was a name for the band. Just a high school band having fun with their teacher. Wish my guitar teacher had taught us Zeppelin and Sabbath when I went to school. Had a buddy of mine teach me that stuff in the hallway during guitar class lol.

~CORE

[ale2thec]

yeh man epic song

[SeriaPesadilla]

Sorry, one question. What is the year of this video?

[spamel]

Is it Bill Bailey?!

:-D

[longjohnsi]

what instrument does jimmy page use in this song?

[thinkofitnow]

a mondolin

[thinkofitnow]

oops....a MANDOLIN

[mrfenderbenderman]

guy sounds just like plant

[victorywooten]

wonderful

[samuel588]

Shes hot

[AstonnMartin2003]

From 1:21 notsure what happend, however, nearly didn't listen to the the rest of this wonderful song from Led Zeppelin. Then just before the drums 2:34 the girl forgets the lines and the drums come in and messed up the hole song the rest of the wawy. Started out well but fadded out faster.

[wwwcoginkcom]

Actually she didn't forget the lyrics, she sung the wrong lyric at the right time lol. It happens to the best of the best. Ask any professional musician if they have ever messed up their own lyrics and I guarantee 95% will say yes. And true the drums are not part of the original Zeppelin song but that's why it's called a cover song.I think they did exceptionally well especially considering it was a high school music class with their teacher playing it.Besides the female singer is extremely cute.

[AstonnMartin2003]

It's just that I'm such a big Zeppelin fan, I sometimes over look part of the "Picture". However, with that said, she is very cute girl and if she had just added a bit more to the song "emotion" chances are I wouldn't of posted on this string.

Granted, I didn't know this was a teacher and some students and that takes this to an other level. Love to see Zeppelin songs live on and hats of to a great song and the band!

[crazystratcat]

Ive seen zep do this song a bunch of times. they do it both ways and diffrent all the time.

[samuel588]

Shes beautiful

[pierre766]

...actually, IT'S ME who forgot the words and pulled Lauren in... Besides...that was her first show EVER at 15 y.o. she was in an alternate state. We had one short rehearsal a hour before... (Pierre the singer)

[AstonnMartin2003]

Just curious, how long ago was this performance recorded? You do very well with Robert Plant's voice. This is not an easy song to sing leads or back up.

[pierre766]

2004 . Thanks !

[wwwcoginkcom]

Woah, she was 15?? What are they putting in the cattle feed these days to make 15 year old girls look that old? 15 year old girls didn't look like that when I was 15 lol.

Funny Pierre, but I didn't even notice that you missed a lyric and repeated "ground is rich" instead of "tyrants face".

Like I said, it happens to the best of em. I've seen many bands live and seen them mess up their own lyrics that they wrote, so don't be too hard on yourself. The music is powerful and moving mate.

[wwwcoginkcom]

Excellent! I'm very curious as to who this is? Band and individuals. Anyone know?

[cadenmccann]

You rock, Pierre! Thanks for sending me this vid; *Amy

[kialleroux]

Yes he is in fact french. He is my old french teacher. He rocked hard... The recording does not do this any justice... It was absolutely fantastic.

[jobu88]

He's dead on. She looks and sounds like she's not into it. It might sound better if the recording quality was better.

The 1993 Unplugged version with the chick from India is the best version I've seen, better than this one.

[dainogas]

is he a french dude?

[oldgunsnroses4eva]

What the hell??

This isn't Led Zeppelin!

It's good though.

[Gavin776]

fucking nice that was really good

[proskatershawn]

c pas Led Zeppelin ca calisse...

[guitarPlayaOH]

Totally awesome.

[lillyvalleys]

Brilliant!

The mandolin, voice, the evocative drumming, the lot. Gosh! Just as good as the Led Zeppelin's

Is that your band?

Rosanella :-)

[pierre766]

I haven't had a band since 1998. These were my students in 2004. They were all 15 - 16 at the time (I was 49) :o). We practiced a couple of times. Thanks for your comments...very nice of you...

[pierre766]

Hi Dan...just wanted to rattle your cage a little...

[willdows]

Gosh... awesome!!!

[tetraigofinto]

Who are these guys? they're freakin awesome. If i hadn't been watching this video, I would have bet my wife that this is Zeppelin. Who's great in bed by the way. Form a cover band cause DAMMMNNN!!! Pierre766... Props man... big props. Anymore stuff?

[JVDUMI]

Sympa, mais ils font vraiment peur à voir...

[DaveCarey4]

Bravo..Bravo..The best tribute yet!!!A beautiful song by Plant,page & Denny..That is both vocally and instrumentally challenging...And you pulled it off..WOW>>OUTSTANDING...I have to see all your labors of love Now!!! When you coming to California?

[joecitizan]

Very nice rendition. Zeppelin you are not. But good you are. =oP Good enough I will check out the others. Thanx for the link.

[patman2112]

Standing ovation!

[pierre766]

Thanks Pat & Nichole. Any comment coming from you is greeted with all due respect.

[andream44]

Wow ! I Don't believe this gig... this is surreal

[Dannyboyengel]

The chick has a phenomenal voice and should pursue her career. She really did justice to an amazing song. Saw this life and the sound was so much better than the video portrays. Keep on rocking PC.

[kadriosula]

in my opinion I believe that the vocals are on par with Robert Plant and the song is a good one as well :) great job

[odissey04]

great job!!! the girl vocal and yours is perfect!!! 10 for you guys!!!I love this peace of music.

[pierre766]

dust in the wind

[MegaBigJohn]

Knowing PiR it must have been quite an experience live.

[pierre766]

mega...is the word Big J

[oldfrenchtoast]

Very very nice

[bonzo6880]

very cool

[BarryBergeron]

please do a studio vid. this great song deserves the energy you give it (minus drums please)

[hedgewytche]

The sound reproduction is poor quality, but the music has lots of energy. I loved the singing and mandolin playing and wish I could have been there to hear the live drumming. The chorus sounded quite different from the LZ version. Great stuff though! But the girl really needs to learn to stop fidgeting. And perhaps it was my imagination, but it seemed to me that she didn't want to be there. Nerves perhaps?
