[Kersten235]

Well done

[3kingfishers3]

superb work,my friend!

[hanzzee]

WTF! I thought this was a Physical Grafitti alternate take until I saw the ending credits!

How the hell did you do this?

[pjip]

wow, very well done. Agreed with erryone else this is the finest cover ive heard.

[billwcc]

Totally agree, finest cover of this song I've ever heard.

[davidson2004fatboy]

Very nice indeed !!!

[TacomaPaul]

Wow... and during it all I thought it was Jimmy.

Well done !!!

[1953jazzman]

Nice job but you sped up in the middle a bit.

my wedding song<3

[shannyshanny123]

i thought that was page :$ wow

[shags72]

@JCTheMage This is and always will be one of my favorite Zep songs. Thank you for doing this! You do it actually cleaner than Jimmy.

[TheXrobwx]

Nicely executed! Damn, I thought it was Jimmy.

[zeppelin208]

increible video

[blooddonor70]

gave me chills, man.

[Delivered0ne]

Where can I buy your album?

[sunshineshine77]

Unreal man I love it. I love that ancient England sound and scenery. Fantastic.

[seligor]

@sunshineshine77

Oh dear Sunshine, have you not realized yet that Bron Yr Aur is in Wales, you know that little country that England is joined to at the hip. Still I do agree with you , I this this is a brilliant sound from The Mage, wonderful. Thanks mate, xxx Seligor, a very Ancient Welsh Dragon. Oh yes and the Language that is used to write Bron Yr Aur is called Welsh lol. xxx

[Owliganka]

 Beautiful

[77pelo]

Awesome cover!

[Maww28]

Dude, do you have the score for this one? Or do you know where I could get it? Really nice playing, by the way.

[TheCurryfrog]

Extraordinary.

Very, very moving.

Beautiful.

[MsZepfreak]

what a lovely film, thanks for this.

[LedZeppQueenBeatles]

Tears of joy have been shed at the hearing of such beauty.

[IAMGOD712007]

At first I wanted to call BS as it sounds too exact. But then looked at your other stuff that somewhat make this piece look like childs play. Amazing.

[TheBass2themax]

beautifully played

[goodfella1962]

THE best cover if the song I have ever heard! Fooled the me for a little while but obviously brilliant. Supremely cool!

[mavrickmoonminer]

Brilliant JC...!

[bzeliotis]

Very good. Love the hat being blown away by the wind!

[amccann7]

fabulous vid & recording.

[jimgbowman111]

That is awesome

[19melispin72]

Amazing...

[TheDoorsFan101]

This montage and recording of your playing is absolutely amazing.

Was wondering if you may have some form of mp3 for your recording, just curious

[Kindel87]

7 people don't understand the magic of Led Zeppelin!

[coldfarted]

cool my great great great great something g-pa came to America from Wales in the 1600s

[43bumpy]

Pretty damn good cover,cool video. Wish I could see the cottage where some of the Zeppelin magic happened.

[Jusoon]

This really takes me back to a better time....you play it extremely well. Thank you!

[anne5surf]

outastanding cover, loved every minute of it!

[anne5surf]

there are so many songs to like...but this is top notch x

[TheMinxter76]

what a fantastic video and cover! first time I heard that song it made me cry

[jimifx64]

Outstanding. Is it really Page in the opening scene?

[TacomaPaul]

Superb !

[TacomaPaul]

Superb !!!!

[pauljonesesquire]

excellent cover great footage too you captured the vibe spot on .

[GodlySkunk]

beautiful. one day i wish to learn this song and play it while sittin atop a sunny hillside (preferably bron-yr-aur)

[Nacho66]

Well played.

[Sauron012]

0:45

Let the long hair blow free :)

[MarceloAvero]

Just F,,, Amazing,



[daphnener]

I'm blown away by how beautiful this is... just as good as the original, if not more soulful

[coolcoolwaterbaby]

one of Zeps best.

[888Xristos]

Well done! Definitely thought this was Page... you nailed the (slightly) dynamic tempo - and everything else

:)

[Zeppelingirl101]

FUCKING AMAZING!

[bughead3]

That looks about as peaceful and tranquil as I had always imagined.

[TheBiblical1234]

What beautiful footage Bron-yr-Aur is where Page and Plant first bonded together. It seems that the idyllic setting encouraged their softer, acoustic side. I can see why.

[TheGuitarClint]

Better than the original recording in my opinion. Very well done.

[ihmisvinski]

So cool!

[IronBobcat2278]

Very nice Sir

[ATerribleScreenName]

I like to see beautiful things when I hear beautiful things. That's just what this is. Well done and thank you.

[TrempBoy2]

God damn, what a cover. Unless I actually listened to them side by side, there's no way I'd be able to tell that this wasn't the real thing.

[itsthejonnyboy]

Best cover I've heard so far!

[marcus123211]

lol i like how at 0:46 his hat just falls.. but this vid is awesome great job

[jrohrback]

Wales looks like a beautiful place. I would like to visit one day. Nice video.

[TheZeppelinIV]

This is brilliant. JC's guitar resonates totally different than Page's, and that's not a bad thing. This is one of the best I've ever heard.

[wizardof6]

Well done mate! Your tops! from one jc to another

[MsTubeWhore]

Oh. My. God....

[stridar57]

One of my favorite Led Zep Tunes, You can almost feel the presence of the band back in the day. you did a great job..absolutely Beautiful ...thank you for the memories.

[jonchr9]

What kind of guitar did you use? Effects? Great work man... so much like the original. Spot on.

[stridar57]

Very Very nice JC, I could feel the ghosts of Led Zep as I watch..one of my favorite songs...Thank you...Peace

[wondubread]

I love Wales. I love this song. I love guitar. I love Jimmy Page. I love Led Zeppelin!

[callicolady]

bloody ell this sounds NICE <3

[PterodactylMK1]

really cool vid... i sometimes wonder how LZ found this place, with no internet and all...

can anyone tell me other music similar to that? the dreamy kinda thing, single guitar, lots of picking? i'm wondering, it sounds like some celtic stuff or such, i would like to listen to more music of this kind. anyone? thanks.

[oracledeveloper]

I like this. Best sounding version on utube.  Thanks for making the video.

[eastendthug360]

as a massive led zep fan, i can honestly say i cannot tell the difference between this and the studio version, jees man i even ridiculed my mate who linked me to this sayin the guy whos claimin this recording to be his is takin the piss

[Geo69xr]

Wow I have heard many versions of this tune, this is excellent, to the 4 that disliked this, you are homos. : )

[diagreen]

GREAT JOB.WALES LOOKS GREAT.THAN U MADE MY DAY

[HeyJude12301]

Very evocative and atmospheric.

A wonderful tribute to Zep!

Not to mention how talented you are.

[Wolfparade51]

This song makes me want to cry

[queballpuppy]

@Wolfparade51 me too

[SaintVitus808]

wow this is great for a Led Zeppelin fan. watching this inspired me to go out and buy my first guitar. an acoustic. a cort mr 730fx. i am sure it will be some time till I can play this song. thank you for posting this video. very well done.

[MultiMusicvids]

what guitar do u use?

[Wolfparade51]

JC this is a great cover. Best sound quality, and very spot on playing. Well done

[Thegoodkingnado]

Wow! Tomcardelli says you played it note for note-and HE would know cuz je has tabs published by page himself! You must be relieved that he has informed you of that.i know, I'm being am asshole!!! But what the he'll?! I could HEAR that it was (just about) note for noteand I haven't heard Jimmy playing it in years!

[morleygrey]

JC...Well done, absolutely captures the images. Cheers.

[Martinos1991]

awesome, at the beginning i really thought you just put the original track in there.

really nice cover, excellent!

[user24Jerricho]

Fantastic!!

[ybow85]

Simply beautiful dude, gave me goosebumps!!!

[wwwcoginkcom]

Phenomenal JC! I bet it was so surreal to be sitting there playing Bron Yr Aur at the cottage where Zeppelin spent so much time. Awesome work bro! Thanx for sharing!

[kevhead66]

now wait a sec. this you recreating the song? Sounds just like the Physical Graffiti version

[Escondido123]

Great John. Keep it up.

[iacozizzle]

c'mon folks this recording is much clearer @ 1:51 transition to the ritard than the original. That's where the dead giveaway that this is an exceptional cover shows itself for me. Well done JC

[JCTheMage]

@iacozizzle

CLEVER

thank you

[pierre766]

JC - I cannot express enough my appreciation for all this. You've brought a bit of magic in my life. I wish a pilgrimage there myself, one day.

Check out my LZ stuff

Pierre 766

[2Emos1Razor]

How can anyone dislike this?

[theosu66]

Beautifully done.I am a closet guitarist and I have been trying to perfect this song for a long time,I have a ways to go before matching your cover.Really nice.

[AllusiveConceptions]

Excellent version and amazing video!  You are truly talented!!

[8jxml2]

Good stuff,loved the other camera shots as it shows you around the magical place where the gods created masterpeices,

[2112asm]

just magic mate, tell me did you use overdubs? or is that just you playing in one go? I always wondered whether Page's version used dubs

[JigglyPuff1961]

Beautifully played and a lovely peaceful place in Wales

[Jadamamski]

This is absolute amazing. You were at the very cottage, where Jimmy and the rest of the band wrote many songs? That's admirable. I'm stunned! Great playing, and amazing footage. I can't find the words for it...

LOVE IT!

[robertplantluver1]

I couldn't differentiate it from the original!!!!!!!!!!

[Veralucy]

Just wonderful!

Muito grata, John!

Also parabéns for the band "The Levee Breakers"

Best Regards from Rio, Brasil

[PEDROCLASSIC]

Ahhh the legendary cottage in wales where they wrote led zep number three

[thissucksicantfinda]

i love the realizeation

[DanieldelosAndes]

Salvando las enormes distancias,hay una conexion entre este lugar(Gales)y El Bolson,en la Patagonia Argentina,o Esquel,tambien en la Patagonia...hay algo que los conecta,no puedo explicarlo,pero si conocen los lugares,me entenderan...

[krenakborum]

@DanieldelosAndes you are absolutely right! Usted esta cierto. Son parejas las locaciones. Creo que es el color. Soy de Brasil.

[onecelticwarrior]

That is awesome. 5 stars x 10.

[cmsimo999]

absolutely....wonderful. Thank you.

[budgood099]

I give 5 stars just for the location of the video shoot. Another 5 for the performance. What did it feel like to sit and play there? Was that Bonham that knocked your hat off?

[MsStacey75]

TOTALLY amazing. Love it!!! 

[rockbob79]

Amazing.....really good work dude

[jjot3]

Beautiful! Can you post a version without the wind and sound effects? I'd love to see a close up of how you play . . . just starting out myself.

[Tiber1979]

beautiful 

[AweStudios]

Are those clips of Bron-Yr-Aur really shot by you when you got to be there?

[JCTheMage]

@AweStudios

Yes

[mikehowton707]

@JCTheMage Did you stay @ the cottage? That place looks so beautiful.....

Ive always wanted to go there to kinda retrace the steps of led zeppelin lol. And I love the outdoors.....

[joeldoer]

beautiful

[coolscape6]

i dont use this word alot but it was beautiful

[1ring2rule3pigs]

Holy shit that must have been an awesome experience. I can only imagine the magic you must have felt there.

How did you get permission to play there?? Or did you?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law....

[orbitaaltube]

This is a really great cover version - the panning really suits this song and the clarity of the guitar is great!

[Michlimania]

The best cover and video I amy have ever seen. I have tears and goose bumps all over.

Absolutely incredible and unbelievable.

[jcw001]

Absolutely superb...............

[kopkasunset]

Excellent cover! Kudos

[dasboot19801]

Damn John, you nailed it! I slaughter this beautiful piece on every attempt, but you got it down cold. Great work, keep it up!

[bray12do]

you managed to catch the intense beauty of the song. That isn't an easy thing to do.

[davemis40]

Brings back memories of when I walked up to the cottage nearly 10 years ago, looks exactly the same. Nice playing !

[Lizardking623]

Awesome Video. 1000 stars.

[chuckythebassgod]

cool

[richie1905]

Absolutely breathtakin!

[jmarshmellowman]

i cant smoke weed right now because iam randonmly drug tested.........but one glourios day when i can enjoy that magical herb again it will be while this song is playing in the background

[missamyleoness]

one of my favorite songs EVER

[Tefnut9Corporation]

Meanwhile, thanks man, I've got a unique feeling, you are very good both as a performer and as a video producer, my compliments, spectacular:)

[faunoram]

quisiera hacer una peregrinacion a este santuario del rock...

[sidewaysid]

Brilliant this is my all time best Zep tune I can't play it really but I try ah ah ah Love and light xx

[americaoffline02]

i love the sound effect of the wind blowing while the guitar is playing. so peaceful....

[transformer01234567]

such a beautiful song

[bodunchar]

huh, wish I was there.

Words dont do it justice really, so I will just smile peacefully to myself, thank you.

[RustyShackelford73]

very cool place indeed

[korehisa0314]

I can be relaxed by this song.

[sidh05]

Fantastic, legendary place, monumental band, legend is still one, that's the way...

[KJBidz]

thats the way it ought to be

[mayomeg]

I'm in love..been playing for 29 years...this is the song that got me innovating and experimenting...when I was 15 or so...changed my style forever. So effing beautiful and sexy

[mayomeg]

So sexy. Perfect. Beautiful. Romantic.

[TriggsxBritian]

One word-Brilliant.....^_^

[HORACIOPINIONES]

Muy bueno, y el lugar es hermoso

Saludos desde Argentina

[murf69]

fucking amazing dude, madcunt

*****

[pablocruz12]

magical... is that really you playing, it sounds exact!

[JCTheMage]

Yes its me playing alright ...although as I credited at the end of the vid, the audio you hear, I recorded in my own studio.

Kinda just messing about in the video, the wind saw to any audio recording in situ.

THANKS TO YOU ALL WHO HAVE ENJOYED & TAKEN THE TIME TO SAY SO - JC

PS: Check out "The Levee Breakers" on myspace for more studio recreations of Zeppelin classics.

[pablocruz12]

Sounds great...

[dontwatchlosttapes14]

@JCTheMage Ha. No; it isn't. I'll bet you can play it, but this is the Zeppelin version from Physical Graffiti.

[AllusiveConceptions]

@dontwatchlosttapes14 You're a dumbass. Don't accuse someone of something until you have your facts straight. This is NOT the original from Physical Graffiti. Though, props to JCTheMage for recording an excellent take on it. Just because you yourself cannot make the differentiation, doesn't mean the rest of the world cannot either.

[marcogtp]

@dontwatchlosttapes14 Dude compare the sounds as well as the slides he really did play it tuning is everything bro

[kyla2112]

@JCTheMage I song, of course, is classic and your performance is impeccable. I also like the way the video was shot, as if it were part of the film The Song Remains The Same.

[TheScunion]

A pilgrimage to Bron Yr Aur to play the composition is on my Top Ten Things To Do Before I Die" list. Not to be over the top but that must have been almost spiritual. Nice stuff.

[luiscurtolo]

GREAT JUST GREAT

[steveisdrummy]

that's amazing, I wish I could go there. Watching pictures and videos of all 4 of Led Zep makes me want to have been there with them, and wish that they could all go there together again, amazing playing but R.I.P Bonham

[jconeon]

This has been one of my favorite musical pieces since I first heard it 23 years ago when I was 16, and I can even remember where I was when I first heard it... It just makes me smile and cry both whenever I hear it, and I've decided I want this played at my funeral. You sir did an AMAZING job, and to be there while playing it.. it just had to be surreal. BEAUTIFULLY done video as well as your playing. 10/10 stars.

[dougsmudge]

@jconeon said it all...

[antiq8]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful......... perfectly blended.

[Mcvity]

love this, always have..

[artsyfartsy75]

I think I have watched this video over 50 times in just the past 3 days when I first found this. I thought this was an old clip of Page back in his younger longer hair days, then realized it was you. This is amazing! I want to cry when I hear this song. This is what music must sound like in heaven! I wish I had the tablature to this. Peace and God Bless you!!!

[claudiorollano]

Excelente !, felicitaciones, muy lindo tema !

Excelent, congratulations, very nice theme !

[Pepefromthebario]

wat tunning is this in and can u get me a link to the rite tabs

[Zebralove4]

Eddie Van Halen never wrote anything of significance, that's why.

[joeldoer]

nice video! and great guitar work! sounded nice.

[skoozeroni]

Unspeakably beautiful, Mr. Curran! Thank you for posting this!

[iheartdonut]

i read once in a guitar magazine that eddie van halen said that jimi page has nice studio work, but his live stuff sounds like a "two year old with a broken hand".... i've never purposely listened to anything by van halen since...

[TeleTwanger1992]

Thumbs up x999999999999

[madcapper6]

Playing Bron yr Aur at the cottage I like to think it added to your performance and had to have been a spiritual experience. Even John had to have been there with you. The absolute best rendition of the song I've ever heard.

[dom22184]

jimmy used a 1971 Martin D-28 in open c tuning

[onetimer219]

outstanding stuff..

[KanDlita]

(L) T kiero muchisimo!... T extraño amor:(

[KanDlita]

(L) te kiero muchisimo!! te extraño mucho amor:(

[xstretcherjockeyx]

Music of the heavens became the music of man through Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham

[TheOrofino]

superb!

[gsxrkz]

this is my favorite guitar piece so sweet it has such a mystical feel to it, absolutely amazing

[wpowers12]

Great job!

[campage]

Mr Wails...

Page uses a 1971 Martin D-28 on this recording according to wikipedia

[MegMerrilies]

I like the vid. Sounds great!

[seivad9]

we named our daughter after this song- aur, welsh for gold. It was also played at our wedding. love it.
