  • See Page play dazed and confused with a friggin violin bow.

  • I don't know what to say about it-- when half your ear is turned away. . . .

  • I am so tired of hearing that Page is sloppy.I suppose that greatness is hard to deal with for some people.

  • your right predatordes..I wouldnt call it sloppy,however his live play is almost always very loose. The thing is ,he is more than capable of dialing in his studio "sound" when playing live..Ive seen him do it,but I think he bores quickly from playing the same songs over n over..he looks for improv

  • One of their great acoustic masterpieces, great sound and video, thanks a bunch to the poster and whoever made this in the first place.

  • wow gracias por colgar esto!! mi cancion favorita de ledzep

  • Hasn't Robert got a lovely head of hair?

  • No.

  • wow just felt my age...who's the band in the video?..

  • this song is nice but the video looks old. who is the band in the video?

  • are you kidding? you dont know who that is? im 19 dude,..... its friggin led zeppelin you dweeb

  • "Tags: led zeppelin"

    Uninstall life please.

  • murph..can i sign you up for a cat scan?

  • You dont understand talent or good music..has your brain scan came back yet??

  • Did you even read what I posted?

    Did I say they sucked? Trying reading it again.

  • Ive studied music history from the pre medieval periods where gregorian chants reigned as the most advanced form of music....all the way to present day.....and jimmy page has played in many different types of bands and many different styles....if you say he is a copy cat because he bases his music on the acoustic blues then you really dont have a clue what your talking about and YOU are the one who misunderstands the history of music

  • He may be a sloppy player live, but he's a really good song writer. You need help if you can't recognize that.

  • page was the greatest guitarist in the history of rock (aside from gilmour and hendrix)

    he was sloppy cause he was on heroin half the time...watch the stairway to heaven video and you ARE proved wrong.

    and it isnt "copying" in the 60's. hendrix bruned his guitar to a song that wasnt his. music was music back then, as long as it was played people didnt give a shit who wrote it.

  • Without John Paul Jones Led Zeppelin's name would not be remembered. Pulp would be more popular as a band!!!

  • This is the best version of this song i have ever heard ...amazing.. i hope they come to canada

  • that was perfect

  • This video is a good example of the quality of their acoustical abilities. And that's the way it ought to be. See you mate's in England.

  • dumbass. the band was just as reliant on JPJ as any of the other members.not for his playing ability, but for his songwriting ability and the influence he had on the band. if it weren't for JPJ we wouldn't have the mystical madman behind the piano during the 30 minute long solo in "no quarter". and did you know that JPJ wrote the legendary riff in "black dog". or the soulful bluesy bass improvisation in "the lemon song"

  • who asked ya buddy ? I think he's the most consistent one of all.

  • Buddy: he takes the lead in this song, who do you think is playing the mandolin? He is backbone for the band. Plays Mandolin, Bass,and all the keyboards. Least needed? Give your head a shake.

  • I cant believe what you are saying!! JPJ is a genius he can play any kind of instrument, he and plant wrote all (or almost) the songs of "In through the outdoor" because jimmy and bonzo was in drugs and all that stuff, I think Jones is the most intelligent and skillful of the 4 members

  • Huzzah!

  • Led Zeppelin songs are so wonderful that I can listen to them all the time and gain new inspiration and more appreication for each note that is played.

    Absolutely Stunning just wish there was more Material from Led Zep as I have all albums and another one will see me thru another year of listening

  • don't compare ,share

  • True artists. All their songs embodied the essence of love and deep feeling. Plain and simple, don't muck up the comments with arguing petty opinions. Their music is pure ART!

  • I love this song Zeppelin is the greatest band ever

  • The simple message in this song - still filled with pathos, so many years after its release - is still enormously powerful for me.

    I had just discovered girls, and they liked it too!

    Truly a song for our time as Boomers!

  • robert plant ~ best voice of rock history ever period

  • every sharp white middle-class kid in junior high thinks zepplin III is better than whitman. in 1983 i did. now i am older and sunsara taylor is a fucking ..............hmmmmm........id­iot that does not even understand her cause.

  • Whats hard to explain to those of you who are "younger", is that when they did this kind of song - It had never been done before.

    Thats what still blows us away, is the memory of stopping and going WOW! Thats cool. Now so many have done similar things that this is probably less impressive but back then - WOW!

  • that's right, this was a new thing...stopping the show and playing a quiet acoustic set...the first 'an evening with'. then back to rocking hard to finish the show. people went home in awe and talked about it for weeks.

  • best band and song ever

  • WHEW!!WHEW!!WHEW!!

    Only JESUS is better!!

  • I agree,these guys r the gods of rock.great song,i love a band that can vary it's style like zepplin does

  • Beautiful I like the way they make a lot kinds of songs from heavy metal to melodies

  • Hells yeah reunion this month in London!!! woohoooo. Let's hope it goes good and they decide to tour next year. R.I.P. John, hopefully ur son can live up to you.

  • THE GODS OF ROCK IN ACTION

    =D

  • This song warms my soul. I saw Led Zeppelin twice in the early 70's. Wow, what an experience. A group of friends and I drove to the concert in an old yellow Helms Bakery truck (a southern calif thing).As you age, you will learn to appreciate all types of music.  Most people get suck and listen to just one type of music, Don't make that mistake. Any music that makes move is good.

  • I had the life-changing experience of seeing Led Zeppelin, & being completely blown away by them @ Hampton Roads Colliseum in'73. This tune, & "Tangerine"are my very fav ones by these amazing legends!

  • Very sweet and sad..this has always been a favorite.The very reason I no longer listen to current music.

  • So carefree and beautiful, you can escape in this song.

  • I wish they showed more JPJ on the mandolin, He's actually the lead.

  • tragically overlooked all too often in this band. He was the best bass player rock music has ever known. And I'm not going to waste my time arguing with nerds putting Geddy Lee or anyone else in the same class as JPJ.

  • Yeah... Geddy Lee is awesome, but not in the same class as JPJ. I don't think he really wanted the spot light on stage. That makes him even cooler.

  • some of... most of his basslines blow my mind. I've played bass for 17 years and I can't fathom how he came up with some of that stuff (Ramble on, What is and what should never be, etc.) - and none of it nerdy over-playing, it was always the perfect part. He was the most solid and consistent member of the band.

  • You know a good musician friend of mine told me that good guitar players are a dime a dozen.(no slight to Page here) But a truly great rhythm section is a very rare thing indeed. JPJ and Bonham are the tops, followed closely by Geezer and Bill Ward from Sabbath. (Have to throw that in)

  • yeah, the 1st sabbath album was definitely a great moment for both of them.

  • indeed! Jones is a class act.

  • Lord what I would do to go to the reunion concert 11/26/07 in London...

  • you are totally right man

  • My very existence during this modern music period is a mistake. I should have been born when Led Zeppelin was around.

    Play this song at my funeral.

  • same dude i wish i was back in the good years when you could have your hair long, stand in the street to protest and have others join you, and love the greatest music that will ever ring in ones ear

  • *sigh* can't agree more, modern music has made a mockery of what WAS rock n' roll. But alas there is more to the times than the music. I would've thrived back in the day, today is okay, but the 60's were better...

  • Oh man I so agree! LED ZEPPELIN is one ot the GREATEST despite the fact that so many people use their name to look as if they know Rock & Roll. But to the ones who really do know they're music, CHEERS!!!

  • i whant to let anybody to know that some people are totall steroe types they say that young kids only listen to emo bands and rap, WRONG!!!! im 13 and my c.d collection is filled with AC/DC ledzeppelin black sabbath cream judas preist jimi hendrix shall i go on? the newest band i have is steve vai and joe satriani like i can understand were they get all that stereotypical shit from , but seriously not all kids and teens listen to emo bands and rap ,thats all i have to say

  • Great Music will always appeal to generations of music lovers. These "emo" bands will vanish in a few months to be replaced by other forgettable bands and so on etc. But the great music will be around forever.

  • agreed

  • This is my favorite Zeppelin song of all time. They are the best band ever

  • This is a beautiful song. You don't see musicianship like this any more.

  • zorra pelua

  • masters

  • kiuller mandolin...amazing

  • THIS is why zeppelin are the best band ever.Gorgeous song.I personally believe their acoustic stuff is best.

  • Album lyrics are 'boy next door'. Plant changes stuff here and there live. Listen to 'How The West Was Won' sometime. The album is also in another key than this.

  • JPJ is God.

  • That's the way... It was.

    That's the way it no longer is.

    That's the way it will never be again.

  • This song sends chills down my body. I love it.

  • No, he said in interviews that he couldn't DRUM during concerts cause he would lose timing. im not kidding, maybe put some more time into your research before you Talk.

  • this song is amazing

  • i fucking love when zeppelin plays acoustic songs.

  • robert plant is not gay...it was a style

  • no band like led-zeppelin!!

    ever!!!

  • Regarding Plant; Chicks used to LOVE that look back in the day. He was married, had kids and is hetero. That was a look that scored a lot of honey's though.

  • i love this song

  • There is none higher.....absolutely awesome.

  • i was wondering if plant is a homosexual, he looks very effeminate

  • he does but if i noe my zeppelin plant decided to become a singer as a young teenager just to attract the girls. but i can see where u get that thought

  • yea man wut r u talking about, he was wasted on stage like everysingle show lmao, and I dunno bout ur timing, everyone is different, I know I can play better drunk, well to a point of drunkness lol

  • bonzo couldnt drink and drum?? are u kidding bonzo couldnt not drink and drum

  • bonham was prabolly resting the might have done this after moby dick or bonzos montruex

  • excellent

  • the best.

  • i wonder what bonham was doing during this

  • drinking probably

  • no, he couldn't drink and drum. he would lose his timing, just like me. if i have a few drinks i can't drum well :(

  • not cool man not cool

  • HECK!.... but I Love this track.

    For some strange reason I prefer it when Plant sings " the Boy next door" ?! :0 ;)

  • The actually music don't have music like this... What is happening whit the music !! ... no more music like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jethro... etc.

  • simly amazing. Been years since I've listened to this. But the London show has me stoked.

    I think this is the best rock band ever. Better than the Beattles. In large part becuase of songs like this, Bon Y'Ar Stomp and Down by the Seaside.

    NO BAND ever in the history of rock has had this wide a breadth of style.

  • I agree.

  • agreed man. They're definateley better both talent wise and creative wise.

  • the only shirts i have are rock shirts from 70;s and 60;s today music is all screeming and telling people how rich you are its horrible and im 13 and i play the guitar rock on!!

  • led zeppelin is the best band ever rock on

  • I'm 13 and i don't like rap either. Zep #1

  • This is what separates led zeppelin from the rest.

  • best acousitc song

  • this is not about how the west was one, its about how Led won the world

  • dude nikko its cool that you saw the led zeppelin dvd cuz anyone who watched it would know that so its not new information at all

  • no es del 25 de mayo, ya que tengo el concierto de ese dia y la cancion es diferente.

    me parece que es del show del 24 de mayo del 75

  • I am crying !!

  • led zeppelin are fucking golden gods, jesus this is amazing

  • This is taken from one of the 1975 Earl's Court gigs (25th May, I think). Led Zeppelin were doing an acoustic set as early as 1971

  • unclenk i agree with you, though i am only 15 i play guitar and appreciate/ idolize zep. My father getting me hooked on them, he also was lucky to have seen them in 1975 not at earls court but he saw them when the came by. I wish i could have seen them. It saddens me when i realize that all i have now is rap which i would even classify as music. So i love hearing great musical masterpieces like this. Cheers

  • Right on.. we need more youth like you

  • It's off of 2003's "Led Zeppelin DVD".

  • how the west was won

  • jimmy eres un genio,demuestras lo que es un musico de verdad cada vez que tienes una acustica entre manos.

  • hm, wonder who filmed this...youtube is awesome

  • this song is so deep. it really speaks to me. one of the best acoustic zep tunes!

  • this song kicks ass

  • i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!

    one of there best songs

  • Kick ASS song!! One of the best Led Zep songs every!!

  • i love this song

  • legendz

  • awesome they were so versatile

  • This version is prolly thier most beautiful song next to The Rain Song. Its a fun song to play on Mandolin and is rather easy to learn on the acoustic, its in my 5 for zeppelin songs.

  • robert plant is god....

  • As soon as I heard this song I just had to play it on guitar, a few years since then & I still play it. It's quite easy actually: DGDGBD

    The best live version of "That's The Way" is on a triple Disc CD called "How The West Was Won", I really don't think anyone can argue, & the original is in F#.

  • Yeah, but the version of "Going to California" that precedes this number is crap on that CD.

  • It's not really...

  • Hey, do you and yellowledbetter16 know if you can get this string of acoustic stuff at Earls Court on a CD, not a DVD? Please tell me if there is. This and the surrounding songs on the DVD are my favorite Led Zep tracks.

  • Hey, do you and zenfreestyler know if you can get this string of acoustic stuff at Earls Court on a CD, not a DVD? Please tell me if there is. This and the surrounding songs on the DVD are my favorite Led Zep tracks. By the way, was your screen name inspired by the famous Hudie Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly?

  • I'm not sure man, I know u can get the Madison Square Gardens on CD & DVD but I don't know about Earls Court...

  • hmmm. well, u could record the DVD version, put it on a computer, and burn it. Also, you could check on ebay for a bootleg, or maybe an actual CD.

  • only comes in a vinyl, and it costs over 200 bucks.

  • huh? this is from the 2003 dvd release -- the vinyl/LP (Led Zep III) is about 40 bucks...

  • He's talking about an Earl's Court CD. Not LZIII

  • damn you got ripped off

  • Plant's singing voice changed a lot; when he first started singing in his band of joy/other bands years, his early zeppelin voice, his latter,i'm not sure if his solo years voice sounded like his latter zeppelin...i'm not sure,and then his present voice.

  • I keep watching this video over and over, I cant get enough. I really didnt hear this song when I was a little girl, I heard it much later in life and its certainly one of my favorites. Im curious though...do you know what year this song came out? or do you know any other facts about this song? and crap while were at it, do you know what year traveling riverside blues came out?

  • Travelling Riverside Blues" is a blues song written and recorded in Dallas, Texas by legendary bluesman Robert Johnson

    Led Zeppelin's version of this song was recorded at the BBC studios on June 24, 1969,

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • "that's the way"

    Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote this in 1970 whilst on a retreat at Bron-Yr-Aur cottage, Wales. They took a long walk with a guitar and tape recorder, sat down in a ravine, and composed the song

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • From what I heard from another all hearsay...plant blew his vocal cords out between 75-76 , watching video from that time period there is a drastic change in his method of singing, plant when he sang did not sing using his diaphragm nobody ever taught him properly ...it was almost painful at times when he screeched his vocals . All hearsay only plant knows the truth , I think there might be some truth to it though plus the drugs and booze and who knows what else

  • Can I ask a question? How come from 1968-1977 Plant's voice wasn't effected by drugs/alcohol etc., but by ITTOD his voice is so sad, and different? I mean; listen to Presence, that's the best I've ever heard his voice, and consensus stated that his voice got better as time went on, so why the sudden change?

  • Plant didn't do drugs, he was in a car crash in greece which affected his voice, a lot of Presence was recorded while he was in a wheelchair.

  • This is one of my favorite Led Zep songs, aside from both the Bron-Yr-Aurs, Tangerine, The Battle of Evermore, and of course Stairway to Heaven. On the DVD, the whole string of songs at Earl's Court is fantastic.

    On another note: I have a video posted on here called On The Town In New York. It is very funny. To find it, however, you have to type in oggendoggen.

  • Also: I play Bron-Y-Aur Stomp in a different tuning than Jimmy Page; it sounds good, but not good enough. He is probably doing it in drop D or whatever it's called, because he does That's the Way and Goin to California in the same tuning. If anyone finds the tab or the correct tuning, could you PLEASE respond to this comment? I will check it quite frequently.

  • JPJ is just great. Not only playing mandolin, but also the bass pedals at the same time (towards the end of the song).

  • makes ever hair stand up, im not sure which is better paige's incredable guitar or plants epic voice/lyrics

  • is John Paul Jones playing a daulcimer or a mandolin?

  • mandolin mi friend peace michael.

  • so good.

  • hey where'd you get the awesome clip?

  • its off the led zep. dvd that came out around the time how the west was won came out. it has a picture of a desert scene on it. the same pic thats on led zeppelin dot com

  • double live dvd got it 4 fathers day must have

  • This is an amazing song. Pure and simple. Great lyrics. Genious.

  • This song is one of the ones that made me fall madly in love with Led Zeppelin :)

  • Pure, undiluted MAGIC. When watching some of these I am at a loss for words, so at the risk of sounding incoherent, I'll leave it at that.

  • sometimes i think robert plant tries too hard..

    still awesome though no doubt..

    John Paul Jones is so underated too..

  • One of the greatest songs of al time. This song is top 3 in my favorite Zeppelin songs.

  • I used this song for my video! I love dresden thank you!!! I love this clip!

  • It would be like heaven to have a guy like Robert Plant...I swear the man is an ANGEL!!!

  • They are all angels and we are so lucky to be living during the same time they are! :o)

  • Bonzo went back stage to take few drinks.

  • poor Bonzo :-(

    I have Bonzo's last concert July 7, 1980 in Berlin and this song never made it onto the LP.

  • hmm good sog ..wonder wat bonzo was doing

  • Hey Dresden67, my account was gone this morning! I dont know why but here is my new youtube name. Bear with me and I'll have my new acct back to what you all remember soon! Sorry Im such a pain in the ass! :o)

  • fuck... fantastic as always. God. And JPJ is fucking great on mandolin. Wow... Page as always is our mystical man of wonder. Robert Plants voice and stage presence is, godly.

  • Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee! What a ride! Thank you!!
