  • just signed in to say, "YOUTUBE OFFICIALLY FAILED!!!"

  • youtube is dead.FUck youtube

  • oooo and by the way its not george Bush's fault these dumbasses live 20ft below sea level and CHOSE TO STAY IN THE PATH OF A HURRICANE. people need to stop their whining,,, and PLENTY of white people lost everything, it wasnt just the black you saw on CNN

  • HonkeyCracka. You dumb ass. Think about what you say before you type a comment. First off, New Orleans is not not 20 below sea level. Second, you should realize that New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in the United States. So what do you say? Pack up 1.5 million people and relocate them to another spot in the United States? Should we not also relocate people that live in Florida? What about people that live in Kansas where tornadoes obliterate. What about people that live in flood zones?

  • WOW i bet this would really be cool to watch if YOUTUBE wasnt a bunch of pussy ass bitches. Who cares about copyrights, Led Zepplin stole the song AND they had to steal a name for there own band.. from a German military man named somthin..Von Zepplin. it doesnt even flood in bloody England thats a louisiana song from the 1920s!

  • Who REALLY owns this song???

    When the Levee Breaks is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

    look up "greatest COVER band of all time" or "Zeppelin stole songs"

    so in the tradition of led Zeppelin, Steal this song

  • they took what the song was about used a couple lyrics that wer modified from the original and added there music and the rest of the lyrics

  • and if you want to find people who don't appreciate great music, look up bits010101...

  • This is the best ever video of a zeppelin song ever, this deserved honors (no mosr favorited/viewed, i was surprised). Friggin copywrite

  • Yeah we're all gonna use youtube grabber to download this.

    Then we're gonna split out the audio & keep the crappy sounding 128-160kbps mp3 file.

    These be some real nitwits..

    People will find the good versions on RS or MU, Limewire or torrent, if they really wanna get a free copy.

    I have it on my computer as i type this.

    Also have it on honest to goodness cd, crappy cassette tape & LP too.

    I just wanted to see perhaps a cool video like this one.

    Corporations are too ridiculous

  • Is you tube going to pull down all the songs off their site? What gives man? I know about copy right laws. I guess they have to comply with requests or be sued by the record companies. They are covering their own asses. This was a great video. One of my favorites here. Song fits the pics so well.

  • REPOST IT-REPOST-IT!

    fucking attorneys

  • Sucks about the copywrite hold, this was my favorite video on youtube. Bush administration did their best to ignore the situation during hurricane Katrina and this video shows merely SOME of the consequences of our government's negligence.

  • One of THE most well done SIGNIFICANT ideos this site has had the honor of its post! This should be rewarded by TouTube. SteveSparx Tulane class of 1982 God bless New Orleans.

  • @ :22 a perfect example of how men can be both fat, and skinny, at the same time.

  • information text by the uploader:

    "The song is extraordinarily appropriate to the catastrophe that was and continues to be New Orleans."

    ...kind of sarcastic...

    isn´t it a bad sound quality here?

  • Check out Paul McCartney's new release, "Electric Arguments" from the Fireman CD. In a way it pays homage to this song style.

  • i love the harm. in this song

  • May Plague & Locusts be cast down upon any asshole attorneys who pull this presentation of the Wrath of Katrina off of youtube. Copyright or no, this is one they really should let slide & allow to remain.

    Superbly done

  • I miss one thing.... AWESOME ZEP SONG....

  • such a drama, just because is US... here in colombia poor people live alot of worst things every winter... look at it, there are a few pictures on the web thats why nobody help them..

  • such drama because the US government had the ability to act on what was happening, but did not do everything within their power because most of the affected communities were poor blacks. If this was in beverly hills, it would have been a whole different story.

  • FUCK COPYRIGHT ..... I'm not saying anything about the government and all that you are saying, I just say that you are kind of dramatic about the subject, compare with ours tragedys(that came worst and very often) and some other's really poor countries like mine (not a state, in here 85% are poor people,in all the countrie) and our government is the worst, besides we have a war .. so what's the point of all this drama thing, do like us help you ones to the others and be happy...

  • i agree with what your sayin. there are much bigger issues than this that receive much less attention

  • I love LD.  I also just came across a JENCE video and wow, did not know anyone had good music now a days.

  • baddest drumming in rock-n-roll

  • This song was made before the beastie boys formed.

  • Only in america, be told to evacuate, don't and then bitch...(sue too)

    I went down there...(USAF)....spent 30 days in a tent...the place was a mess!

    Happy new Year...

  • careful that this dosent get deleted...

  • It's been here for 2 years shut up!

  • if you havnt noticed recently most of the led zeppelin videos are being deleted for copyright claims, so you shut up, i was just giving advice...

  • The sound quality on this video could be better, but good job with the photos.

  • That's a solid point. It's true in part or in its entirety.

  • The people in Katrina had a chance to leave they didnt thats their own fault. But why did they have to stand on top of their houses screaming for help "OH HELP ME I CANT SWIM, IN 6 FEET OF WATER! GIVE ME FREE SHIT BECAUSE OF THIS TRADGEDY!!" Pathetic.

  • your an asshole

  • bush should be arrested for not only being a darlict but crimes against humanity if any u fucks voted 4 him u should of study,d up every business he has had has gone under and you all fell 4 the patriot pariot polly want a cracker remember give me death or liberty u all were the first to give it up p.act while drugs come over the border every day well if drugs every thing else to but hey listen to rush you need to rethink your shit there all corrupt dont fall on any little this little that

  • lmao cuz EVERYTHING IS BUSHES FAULT, serously people, he may have sucked at alot of things, but not fucking everything is his fault, he doesnt run every individual part of the entire country, you people need to lay off the scape goat

  • No doubt! The levees in NOLA were built long before Bush ever came into office, How 'bout we look at the mayor of NOLA. What did Nagin do, but blame everyone else but himself for the lack of planning and execution. Ask the people of Jackson, MS, Memphis, TN, and most of all Houston, TX, what Katrina did to their cities!

  • The city of new orleans has been corupt for a long time.The government doesn't like to deal with such.

  • a rhymes the second and fourth lines and often in the first and third ;'?! i think mmmmm rythems?

  • The best rock bass line in history!!

  • hahahahahaaa.

    Yeah I agree. But be productive. Drop some names.

    speak who is blues or be forever condemned to suffer the curse of these words across your brain as you read them...

  • See Cadillac Records. Move on from there.

  • very very bad sound

  • mean old levy taught me to weep and moan.

    mean old levy taught me to weep and moan....

    Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home...

    Did Shakespeare write shit that dope?!?

    Well yeah. but I'm right for being wrong. drunk as fuck. and IRISH. and dont care.

  • god led zepplin rules check my channel favorites and leave comments on my channelabout the songs

  • Bush is an idiot in so many ways.

  • You're absolutely right. FEMA mismanaged Hurricane Katrina and responsible for the loss of amny lives. Great song and go BARACK!!! OBAMA-2009!!

  • yeah nice vid!

    i think the music isn't the real version, tho.

    u can tell from the drums.

  • yes it is the real version. the drums sound like that because they were play in a stair wail.

  • i kno, and thats the real version

    listen to the other levee breaks vid posted by SqueezeMyLemonBabe or something

    i think thats the real stairwell version

  • VERY NICE!

  • 2:04 :got enough to make a muffin man leave his ho lol but I love zeppelin

  • I believe it's "mountain" man

  • Actually nevermind.

  • i think its "i got what it takes to make the muffin man leave his home"

  • muffin man lolol

  • im pretty sure its mountain man

  • sorry chaps...that just shows, that not many empires deal with disgrace well

    we did, to an 1947 extent

    you looked pitiful....exposed, along racial fault lines. if u ever want a good considered lesson....... jump the night train to the old country

  • :47 is diaz's house from vice city

  • Yes, 1927. Hoover was President.

  • 0:22 i think the guy's pregnant

  • no hes full of beer after waking up one morning and finding out a hurricane flooded new orleans

  • @JGordo6 there is NO "best part of the song", u either like it or dislike it.

    the vid rocks, the song rocks...too bad about the sad "storyline" of it.

  • haha I had a dream that i traveled back in time and stood on top of their levees and blared this for the whole city to hear before katrina actually hit, too bad i cant do it

  • this is an incredible piece of work by both parties. The moment I saw the images on tv, I thought of this song and wondered how long before someone figured out how cool it would be to put the song over the images. Thanks.

  • Well done man...you did good and be proud...you represented the 'vibe' the right way; the way it was and those days won't be forgotten anytime soon.

  • 0:48 to 0:56. best part of the song

  • i love this song, page is an incredible guitarist, led zeppelin just flat out owns

  • nice vid, bad sound

    =)

  • s/r drug addeled.

  • Brilliant presentation, not sure if the gangsters hypothetically weren't gangsters they would have saved some of these black people. Debatable. Impossible to be sure whether the gangster administration let all those black people perish on purpose or just it was a function of the normal slovely incompetance of the dug-addeled gangsters..

  • i like led zep and this video, but i remembered a whole city being flooded out in the past, the city was greenvile mississippi and the year was 1927 and kansas joe mccoy and memphis minnie wrote "when the levee breaks" in 1929 look up the orignal on you tube and zep also copied "whole lota love" prepare to be shocked

  • they dont hide the fact they copied other songs... consider it a remix

  • I am not shocked by this.

    what I am shocked by is some of the idiotic posts on this song.

  • they remade it they didnt 'copy' it

  • And Memphis Minnie was duly credited.

  • haha fag. you thought you got all us zep fans lol.

  • you remember 1927 ?

  • 1927.. when the levy broke under days and days of rain and millions of acres along the great muddy flooded...the black parishes were flooded in an attempt to save white New Orleans. History repeats and the governemnt didn' act any better then either.

    Great video for the tune

  • woah man...

  • fuck you asshole

    Lived in New Orleans all my life, 19 years old now and I don't know what the fuck your talking about

    yeah we have scum, just like any other city in the world... but theres honest people here like me that had their whole lives turned upside down by this shit

    even now things are still fucked up, parents lost both their jobs and are still struggling (yes 2 years basically and still)

  • such an ignorant and obvious bull shit comment...

  • are you a skinhead?

  • lol your cool

  • the biggest disaster about Katrina was the emergency services under FEMA, who were more interested in going against the constitution than rescuing the people!!

  • i blame the idiots that get flooded out and move back in and get flooded out and keep mooving back in. they do it for sympathy and FEMA money, its like playing the lottery with yoru life.

  • Ya know dont blame the city that was a great city blame the state for building a city under fucking water they moved the water behind a wall and made it to withstand a 3 not a fucking 5 and there making it a 3 again there fucking idiots

  • I am feeling fucking disturbed. WhatCan I do to help people to manage living thru ths atrocity?

  • California Is Next To Flood

  • The song is great, vids okay, however the music quality sounds very strange.

    -By strange I mean bad-

  • Led Zeppelin are prophets...

  • i know isnt it nice when four greatest players get together and compliment each other like no other. i fucking love good music. you gotta really dig to find the quality shit these days.

  • This is what happens when you build a city below SEA LEVEL. This will happen again, and again. Sucks, but these people need to move to a better spot.

  • 0:21 sexy

  • how'd u do that shit?

  • this song is obviously so powerful on its own, but you did a great job with the accompanying images showing the devastation.

  • funny how it took our "troops" a day to get supplies to the tsunami victims...way to help our own people...such a joke

  • I go hillwaking .And i listen to Led Zep often while on the mountains just chilling to the 4 symbols album and other albums.The point im trying to make is if i see another person i talk to them they talk back ok? bLACK ,WHITE CHINESE MIDDLE EASTERN, RUSSIAN, .Who cares what the colour is .We are ALL the same .Fucking wanksplashes grow the fuck up and stop hiding behind your jissim coated p.c screens.A lot of people need A serious SLAP. KNOBS THAT THEY ARE.

  • pingomaster, ur a bitch ass nigger in your own right. and probably a pussy. and u'll be in hell right along with us getn a mudhole stomped out your ass im sure...

  • wow u shit eating, piss chugging, nut munching fucking ass bitch. I can't even explain what a fucking bitch you are for sayying that. Thats unreal low man. Hope the worst for ya.

  • yeah he is an ass. those people were told to leave though....

  • MSG ME ON MSN MESSENGR !!! ID IS jane21dame. im bored and need someone 2 talk 2 J

  • the maturity is lacking here. You boys should go to bed or get back to playing marbles....how embarrassing!

  • The maturity all over the internet is surprisingly low.

    It might have something to do with the reality we're behind a computer monitor and the other person is some several hundred miles away.

  • Zep should have played this song in New Orleans (9th ward) during the first recovery as a fundraiser.

  • sik 18, youre a rude asshole... the bible is historically accurate and im not stupid enough or rude enough to tell a muslim the Quran is wrong... people have their beliefs... let them believe... how ever some beliefs you shouldnt just let sit... like your belief that you have the right to be an asshole.

  • hey adardusk, contrare to your beleifs, the bible isn't a historical account. Its a story. Wether you believe it or not is your decision.

  • life goes on

  • great song, one of zeppelin's best.

  • see, im a republican and i hate obama. but you guyz are right. i think that bush was a good prez up until he went and did that really dumbass move of putting us into iraq. he just wanted to make a name for himself. all of his decisions after that one were horrible. ESPECIALLY the ones about not helping those poor victims of katrina.

  • am i wrong or american people vote for war??

  • wrong

  • Sets me rockin and thinkin'... The best Led Zep "When The Levee Braks" ever.

    Guess its best to reflect on our own rotten deeds/thinking which may have triggered a chain of events that lead to this catastrophe.

    It's never too late to make a difference.

  • I have never rocked out to a natural disaster harder than i have while watching this video.

  • this is why im not voting for McCain... hes just a Bush fan...

  • fuck yea man he sucks dick

  • be more clear fucktard, idk who u are talking about

  • Very well done.

    All the bashing, hating and blaming is doing

    what? It's a waste of time.

    All any of us can hope for is that the same mistakes aren't repeated.

  • fabulous song with unique flow

  • Potent video... to think that the Bush/Cheney regime had the focus of intent to invade a nation based on deliberate lies but couldn't have the presence of mind and concern to help their own citizens in a timely manner and 'mannerly time' is disgusting!

    Ron Paul! If you want to reclaim your country based on YOUR constitution investigate that man of truth! If you want the same old BS from polititians on both sides who only care for their agendas, keep following the status quo!!

  • People never took the time to philosoph, there is no god, belief is a strong weapon and can result in useless deaths or killings. It has troubled our humanity over the years, and now finally the world is begining to form laws and justice, making a better world. There is no god, think about it! Think about life as it is...

  • man, think about it more....if you think there is no god, what is the point of life? to wander aimlessly until you die?no,it is to think that maybe somewhere that your life has meaning other to fuck things and smoke weed. sure people die and some beliefs are useless in ways but better then nothing.

  • Maybe their is no point to life. If their is a god he or she put cannabis on the planet for a reason. As far as sex goes. Be fruitful & multiply You have never read the bible have you? It is full of incest & slavery. One thing I know if I wont ever meet my Rottie in Heaven its not a place I want to go to.

  • if u can't figure our the meaning to life without an artificial being then just give up

  • FAR OUT MAN!!! I CAN DIG IT!!! PEACE MAN LOVE AND HAPINESS

    I have no clue what this means, stop posting on drugs.

  • Well, obviously you haven't read the Bible enough, son, cause all the incest and slavery isn't cheered on by the teachings of the Bible, it's only recounted as a history to teach the people what to avoid doing in their lives. You know, learn from the past, rather than ignoring the inherent evil in the lives of men.

  • Even if a life is a relatively small portion of the huge Universe, it can have meaning to you! Anything and everything we do is such a small dust particle in comparison to the Universe but to each of us, our relatively small interactions ARE important to our experience. If we are all an apparently separate focal point of this Universe, we are the Universe in it's entirity as expressed at one point!!! Live this life and don't think it's useless as it is an expression of the entire Universe!

  • oh George you've done a bad job - Katrina, world economic crisis, and we should vote McCain/Palin - you're joking

  • OBAMA ALL THE WAY

  • damn communist

  • fucking republican

  • Katrina...never forget. My sympathy to all who suffered.

  • We B Here

  • Great video. We were way down there doing clean up no picture can really descibe how bad it really was.

  • good job, always been a favorite zep tune of mine and what a way to use the lyrics to punch home the national disgrace of katrina i'm 55 and i'm afraid our generation will be remembered as the one that raped and killed what was left of "the american dream"

  • YEAH!!

    But Barac McCain will save our suouls!!

    In God, Allah, Buddah, etc we trust.

  • aint this the truth  simplified

  • but back to my earlier point in order to help the rest of the world we have to adress our problems here first and there are so many problems we cant just focus on katrina or just focus on 9/11 victims or just focus on healthcare or just focus on energy or just focus on the economy or poverty we have to come together as a nation and work hard to make this country great again

  • and yes i dont believe in the bible i dont believe in anything besides the fact that i dont know if god exists or not and as long as your on earth u cant

  • ozonebabyzz THANK YOU! its just a fucking zeppelin song that this guy thought would make sense to put to katrina pictures cause of the damn lyrical content and yes FEMA screwed up with the handling of this and my heart goes out to the thousands of people suffering bcuz of it but its hard to focus on anyone problem with so much fucked up shit going on

  • the bible really has nothing to do with god if he does exist, it was written by rich men who wrote how they wanted the world to be run

  • not best sound in this version

  • Outstanding song and extraordinary piece of work. Good Job.

  • You can thank Clinton and Greenspan for this mess we are in now. They passed the bill allowing this mess. Check your history folks, it had been in effect since Roosevelt set it up in 1933...slick Willy strikes again

  • at about the 2:51 mark, its alway sounded like he says "...if you don't know, that shit gotta go..." I know that's not what he's singing but sure does sound like it

  • if just half these schmucks arguing on here actually voted....well who knows what would happen.....Anyhoo it would be so nice if people just talked about the actual video, no? Everybody gots ta puts their two cents in though...even me...

  • i go down to comment on any video, and 2 people are arguing about religeon, 2 people are arguing about Bush, and some douchebag thought it'd be cool to come post how much the video sucks and his band is better.

    anyway.. amazing video. brilliant job with the pictures, very appropriate.

  • I agree. Christianity, and for that matter, all religion had propelled our human existence straight for disaster. if jesus existed prove it otherwise shut ur mouth with that bull crap, RELIGION DIVIDES, PERIOD. RELIGION IS SLAVERY. one day people will realize how much religion holds back the world from advancments of the human race.

  • not true. think about it, hitler, stalin, kim jong il, mao zedong, and hundreds of other of megalomanic dictators have outlawed religion. and think of all of their "achievements" towards mankind. Vive Cristo Rey. Ave Maria

  • wtf does any of this have to do with Zeppelin... sheeesh, it is about ZEPPELIN, the song, gimme a break politico wanks

    oznebabyzz

  • yea republicans really screwed up everything in the country. dude, mccain is like bush's bitch and palin is a whore anyway, fuck your bridge ho. our entire government is fucked. they can only run the country in to the ground so far. obama might not be the best but mccain would be like 1000x worse. i wish we could all just eat shrooms and acid and smoke bud all day, thad be tight yo

  • yes but why stay when a cata 5 is coming aint gots food aints gots water not to drink hmmm maybe go catch the bus .and i hate the right but hey same thing here in sf if a big eath q happend motherfuckers be tryn to take my shit beleive it if u dont u r fresh out of momys house

  • This was excellent. They should run it every night on the 6pm news, lest we forget. Good job -- you deserve a standing ovation for this one.

  • WOW coldplay's in my place intro starts out JUST like this song.

  • Clinton sold this country, Bush raped it and McCain wants to jack off on our face... just like the end of any good porno movie. Nobody can save the USA, she is a trembling gangrape victim hiding in the dark basement of her satanic tormentors. Maybe Obama can save her but he is gonna have to pull McCain off her first and fight the repudlickin hord. As a reference, to this fact listen to led zep's - immigrant song .... Music and religion should not be a part of politics, why fuck up good thing

  • Redwings, thank for your informed little comment - I'm amazed you have managed to master typing on a computer with an IQ which by remarkable coincidence, is the same as your age. Still, checking your YouTube profile, I see one of your hero bands is on my side..."Hell ain't a bad place to be". By the way, has anyone noticed that whenever a reasonable political or religious comment is aired on Youtube the Right wing response tends to be a low brainer insult - Are they all like that?

  • That is so funny and true! Seriously.

  • did you hear about a full-grown adult lion that was in Texas, rescued from drowning by some people and put in a church till the storm passed and the floods lowered? Well, this shows that even a vicious giant cat will not hurt or eat or kill people, even though it was angry and hungry. Yet the niggers in New Orleans killed and raped and pillaged anyone their filthy asses could get their hands on back in 2005. The moral of the story? You can trust a lion more than a fucking negroid

  • HAHA we have the same opinion then. let me guess.. ur not voting for Obama.

  • NO !!! I'm not voting for osama bin obama bin Hussein bin barack , the muslim chimp.
