[0458FEO]

[JESSTHEBATMAN]

\m/

[TheVirtueOfBeauty]

HOLY F'n SHIT! Hammer of the Gods backed up by the best Rock band EVER! Next!

[Ulysses447]

That is a sick bass JPJ is using.

[huskvarsm]

John bonham what an awesome and powerful drummer and his playing is totally one off he would never play the same way twice fukkin genius R.I.P. john props to john paul jones man that guy can play and was bonhams equal on bass and well jimi im sure he hates being called a genius or a god and i see him as an innovator and an uncompromising guitarist they all stayed true to themselves and never sold out finally robert plant he was the glue that held them together and gave zeppellin its voice what

[1985asroma]

[rumel02]

this song is the reason why les paul came up with this maple toped cherryburst beauty, orgasmic!!!

[timf145]

I think this is what they mean when they say "Hammer of the Gods"...

[PalmTreeMechanism]

Jimmy's shirt is ultra-absorbent.

[0458FEO]

[TmBoyd93]

From 0:19 to 0:32 Page is a badass and he knows it.

[centr1x2]

Bonzo hell!!!!

[SuperRobo420]

Jimmy Page has got to be the hardest working guitarist ever

[leviandurai1232]

This absolutely blows my mind. Has it really been 40 years since we've had really good music?

[BrunoCoutant]

Remains good music even after all these years.... Has anyone got a decent copy of their last concert in 1980 in Germany?

[DJolim]

AMAZING

[MyWilldo]

Where are the other guitar harmonies coming from!?! 1:53

[koevsky]

@MyWilldo JPJ's on bass on this one, so I guess it's him.

[SakanaJin]

@MyWilldo Jimmy Page of course, who needs a backing track or second guitarist when you're Jimmy Page?

[vonwegen100]

Pity not one camera filmed what John Paul Jones was doing. Pretty great otherwise.

[BuffaloOtters]

I may have to press the dislike button. The music is fucking amazing but we gotta light that joint

[carrier3232]

Plants voice is the one voice that could keep up with this powerhouse of sound!

[carrier3232]

Bonzo goes Bananas!!!!!!

[judod97]

Ig@?,1@g@

[KDQ13]

can't believe i was sleeping on this..

[katemckinnon]

What a perfect performance. Just sublime. THANK YOU.

[danijel42]

Štrbačani sve do jednoga....

[sonic10shadow]

This is the song that i really wanna play on guitar! Maybe even do cover...

[The6thSimpson]

2:11 The guy barely flinches. That's the work of God.

[Tiger1AuasfE]

Legends...

[harlemue]

4:40 amazing

[sonic10shadow]

This has inspired my to go back in time and watch this Live!!!!

[JohnBonzoBonham1995]

At 6:47 bonzo saved jimmy page like a God

[Tiger1AuasfE]

Simply wonderful! Love Led zeppelin.

[zezvazepp1]

6:47 bnzoooooooo amazing!!!

[MegaGorannn]

im 3rd disliker yey, this song sucks, electro/house is the best

[zachmcfatridge]

@MegaGorannn Lol. Oh wait you're serious. LOL.

[keeffan49]

@MegaGorannn fuck off and listen to that shit then

[rpennycu]

I'm not even a drummer and Bonzo is my hero....

[theACProductions1]

I didnt know Bill Mayes played guitar

[madiiisonnnsherreee]

What I wouldn't do to see them play live..

[leuriberto]

isso é uma obra de arte!!

[vertiz95]

8:06 i love jimmy smile :D

[Jetblack1011]

Robert Plant's punch at 3:07 is epic.

[Fredrockroll]

Plant looks like he's got 10 years older in only 2, from 77 to 79... the difference is shocking.

Great performace though

[vedderfan94]

1:13 - Bonzo is fucking ruthless.

[vedderfan94]

1270 likes, 2 dislikes. WTF? Seriously there is having an opinion and then there is a combination of stupidity and ignorance.

[BarryKunz64]

Page is so amazing live. This song has like 7 guitar over dubs and he always pulls these things off live. Bonzo was 30 when he died , so he must have been like 18 when Led Zep 1 came out. sigh. R.I.P. JB

[Svengoli]

god damn this is so badass

[flyvibe71]

wow, thank u baby jesus!

[meltingscarecrow1]

4:16 jimmy page just jizzed to his own guitar playing

[silverburst1979]

Unfucking believable!

[lastrampas]

This song / this version / that pace... there is so much sexual tension and sensual energy within it that i do believe i just had a full body orgasm listening to it. Palpitations and grooviness... yessir !

[ozzfann]

ROK that chit bru!!! \m/



[90DAdmin]

Rest In Peace! John Henry Bonham

[bushokjew00t]

5:56 that look says it all " yeah im jimmy page " !!

[Ezigoin1]

What a Classic!

[Preshidente]

"You are sweating more than Jimmy Page on stage"

[kairay1000]

BEST Zep song ever, period.....the guitar solo to a guitarist is pure emotional feel....indescribable

[ElvisVlad]

If You are a HardRock fan Like me, This is the Band !!!!!!!!!!

[Fr3derick]

Awesome

Grandma mary

[SynteX963]

Bieber disliked as always..

[linconcr85]

any tips about how to perform that drum fill at 8:35? ohhh nevermind, i would need one brain for each body part to do such thing...

[thedirtymeatball]

@linconcr85

do you know what that sound is? its bonzo taking an AK47 to every other schmuck to ever think they could play like he, the king of drums.

[BarryKunz64]

@linconcr85 well basically that was a tripleparaflamadammadiddleamam­afliparipparamadooparammy 32nd notes.

[10yroldcarlover]

@linconcr85 you need to be born before 1960

[brmoogma]

@linconcr85 this fill sounds more difficult than it actually is...

[gerbile3]

@linconcr85 it's actually very simple. all you need are good chops

[NowCryHavoc]

@linconcr85 The fill at 6:47 as well. Damn.

[jahlightbmw]

the best band! of all time!

[UniversalCaitlin]

Ugh. They're just so great. I love everything about them. This is perfect.

[whaxbomb]

nice quality

[luanaolucena]

Inacredible Song...Muito Foda!!

[Sh0ckmaster]

Absolutely incredible song, even more intense with it being live. John Bonham looks like he is drumming with two Redwood tree trunks :D

[ecume666]

i love Led Zeppelin , saludos de Peru , esperando la reunion y la llegada a Lima-Perú

[playloud]

This performance is amazing. What a rush listening to this. What energy. Better than the studio version

[TaroGabunia]

The best live performance of Jimmy Page

[lilkynan]

funny how the greatest member of the band is in the shadow - JPJ is the master of Zep - I lived Zep all my life and have more respect for this band because of JPJ - always there supporting all the errors and still pulls them back together again to make it sound the best!!!!!!

All the best JPJ

[korianplayer09]

I FUCKING love this song.!! It doesnt matter whether it's the studio version or a live version.!

[xyntota]

Fantastic performance, return to the time when music was MUSIC

[krisygirl03]

6:58-- Why thank you for the second! I wasn't expecting multiples

[krisygirl03]

5:32 min I came in my pants. Thank you Jimmy!

[girlgalad]

Ecstasy....

[90DAdmin]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES PATRICK PAGE! FOREVER ZEPP

[TheMestrekenobi]

Happy Birthday Jimmy, thanks for all the great music!

[Berenueve]

I'm sorry if I offend somebody by commenting this, but I think this is Led Zeppeling BEST SONG!!

[MultiOrange78]

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way. STUNNING!

[ozzyhead73]

LEGENDS!!!! GOD DAM LEGENDS!!!!! what more can ya say? its zeppelin!!!! the drums are insane!!!! RIP BONZO!!!!

[89ADASIEK]

They are on a ROCK WAR right now! Drums are like Mashinegun! so many emotions! Speed!

Ohh god take me there to dye with them! to rise again! MASTERPICE! After that "WAR" i am satisfied and stronger than before!!

[mateolv]

6:46 !!!!!

[oddbumbles]

On guitar, God.

[JimmyPageAddict]

One of my favorites... the incredibly complex Achilles Last Stand. Hard to watch Jimmy in this condition, but wonderful to watch him go to the place that only he undertands. Doing Achilles live (especially while battling the heroin) earns him the right to sweat, grimace, silently scream and own the stage. This ole gal remains in awe of him. And omg listen to Bonzo!! Brilliant. So sad.

[NakedPlanet1]

@JimmyPageAddict Well, heroin addiction or not, he did own the stage. It's one of my fav Zep live performances. The thunder is massive. The way is torturous. But Jimmy & the boys present us with one of the most monumental performances in rock history. Jimmy strains to wring the last nuance of excitement he can from every note. He pushes himself to the limit & in the end stands there soaked in sweat & triumphant. Who plays that way anymore?

[Knightlight02]

Every time i see Bonzo drum, I am purely amazed. Led Zep is by far my favorite band of all time: They wrote real music, with meaningfull learics and great instrumental parts. If ''Music'' theese days is Justi Bieber and Lady Gaga, i fucking give up. It really makes me sad that a great guy like bonzo had to go so early, there really was nobody like him. He was just that type of guy i woulda sat down with, shook his hand, and had a beer with. R.I.P. Bonzo!

[Preshidente]

Led Zeppelin best song!

Why Bonzo died? Because God wanted drum lessons!

[seanozep]

@Preshidente Why would he have to give himself drum lessons?

[nonconformest]

@Preshidente God wont be getting the lessons but satin will. Great band but they will all end up in hell

[nonconformest]

@nonconformest Satan, I need spelling lessons

[BarryKunz64]

@Preshidente What do you mean?,,, Bonzo IS God!!!

[TaroGabunia]

Page is being tortured during that solo. Can't understand why he has such mimics on his face.

[10yroldcarlover]

not loud enough

[quruquruqu]

スバラシイね

[wakddood]

awesome tune :-)

[blakeker]

My favorite part is 4:17, you can really see the passion in Jimmy's face.

[blakeker]

Great quality, thank you for posting!

[gorgs123]

what a drummer

[enos218]

Great vocals from Plant

[Shortchecker]

Vikings thunder heard here!

[alextlihui]

Ades playing to be a guitar player offering a sacrifice at the gates of heaven...

[rocko100able]

led zeppelin best bands best band ever will b """"""".)

[bobilly]

2:10 for drummers 0_o

[dylancollver]

Take a moment and think of what would of happened if bonzo hadnt died and jimmy cut his heroine addiction before the us tour? I bet that would of fucking rocked everyones world.

[streetparade]

Jimmy sweating out the heroin, Bonzo fighting the booze, Robert battling the voice.....and still they are epic. What a great performance and they knew it. Achilles has about 10 guitar parts, Jimmy apologizes....he could only handle 8 of them live.

[131gmrt]

Thank you for this ass kickin video it shows zep at there best!!!!

[wowhead1]

u gotta love stairway, i mean u have to, but i'll take achilles over it all day long

[kikorsm]

fuck me, i was born in the wrong generation!

for sure this video shows what led zeppelin was about

[EatPieYes]

John Bonham truly was a beast of a man - ruddy 'ell!

[LedZeppelin897]

fuck the like button! i want a fucking worship button!!!!!

[TaroGabunia]

Probably the worst live solo of Page

[legunncat]

@TaroGabunia I have to agree. It was clear he was really struggling. A lot of work, this song.

[BuddyWillis]

wonder what kinda bass jpj was playing

[Alexrabat]

THE rythm

[spiesisbetter]

I watch this daily and I need to know if this is edited, because this is almost perfection by Jimmy. Anybody?

[mcskatersanwhich]

outstanding job John Bonham

[bamf4k]

Urgh, Jimmy Page of '79 is a river of sweat! All that heroin I'm sure.

[kikorsm]

thank you Led Zeppelin

[peppeBari]

3:30 - 4:50.........Orgasm

[ferjtankian]

@joemac255 he´s not even slapping he is just using a pick but the sound (treble) of that custom bass is the one that makes that stunning sound, one of the best "later" perfomances of Zep.

[featherinthewind123]

amazing, simply breathtaking.

[woodsy555]

top 5 best songs ever been and i agree 1 best pages performances ever deffo

[AbeWWII]

Does anyone know where this is from or if there's a ( vinyl ) bootleg of this?

[TheJesterGirl]

@AbeWWII It's from the Led Zeppelin DVD.

[dablood15]

So this is where iron maiden got their style from.

[hardflipmaster1]

Imagine this song if they played it earlier in their concerts!!!!!!!!! HOLY $#@!

[allgrams713]

Whoever posted this, many thanx!! Can't stop watching/listening. This is a truly great video of an outstanding band at the height of their powers. TIGHT!!!

[ochopintre87]

THERE IS NO WAY IN MUSIC TO GET BETTER THAN LED ZEPPELIN. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BUT NOBODY WANTS TO ADMIT

[joe44850]

I hear a second guitar...

[joe44850]

@joe44850 I'm replying to myself haha. I think the second guitar I hear is actually John Paul Jones with a fuzz on his bass, or some weird delay thing Page was using

[Joemac255]

@joe44850 John Paul Jones is actually slapping AND playing octaves on the bass, which makes it sound like another guitar is in the mix. It's pretty mindblowing.

[Joemac255]

Respond to this video... Unless it's the guitar solo at 7:38, where Jimmy is using a delay on the guitar.

[TYMCGOUGH]

6:47 The greatest drum fill i have ever seen.

[Dragonslayer1361]

I got 1 bullet.....

[hashbarron29]

this is the only performance iv seen where jimmy shows effort. @4:10

[hawkwing171]

@hashbarron29 he is not *trying* to play the song.. he is just expressing himself.. he owns the song.

[vinstrumentals]

Zeppelin at there very best!

[gjrock70]

Best live guitar performance Jimmy Page has documented in his career

[nickalexg]

@gjrock70 his most transpired performance

[bedsitsongbird33]

@gjrock70 i agree page plays with real fire in this amazing song what an amazing band the best for me

[legunncat]

@gjrock70 If by best, you mean struggling to hit the notes and not cramp his hand up, then yes, I agree. Otherwise, not his best work by a longshot.

[gerbile3]

@legunncat Im pretty sure flexibility of your hands is not lost by someone who tours that much.

[legunncat]

@gerbile3 It can in fact, become problematic for a performer who plays so much. Strain from overplaying can affect anyone from a guitar player to a vocalist. Consider the complexity of this song as an example of what can cause problems. Of course, he could just be having a bad night :)
