  • i like the tempo for sure.

  • sounds likethe album was botched using tunnel equilizer..is all..not a live recording or bootleg. sorry.

  • In Through the Out Door was in a lot of ways, the closest Zep ever came to having a bit of a "prog rock" element in their writing. There was more use of synths on this album than any other they ever released. This song has a very epic and powerful feel to it because of the synths. Makes you wonder, had Bonham not died what their music woulda became in the 80's.

  • @tranceofdances They wouldve probally came out with some good stuff heavy stuff

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs UP !!!!

  • jimmy did sell his soul...so did i...7th day creeps y'all ($2-__-2$)...power, mystery...N the hammers sunk deep...:P

  • Well from hearing this outtake one can understand Plant's reticence to play without Bonzo. Bonzo was the engine, the glue that held it all together. Without Bonzo they could and can play the great old stuff but create new material? Don't think so. Don't get me wrong, the '95 P&P show at the Gorge from row 11, stage right was really amazing. But it wasn't truly Zep.

  • One of my favorites! Thank you for posting! :)

  • JPJ created most of their song's structure and arrangement with JP doing some, but mostly guitar riffs with solos, RP on lyrics and of course JB layin' down the skins. The only thing JPJ never did was sing. He played keys, bass, guitar, mandolin, violin, basically any string-percussive instrument on rhthym and leads tho lead guitar solos were all JP.

    Definitely underrated and had the least ego of any legend RnR'er.

    They ARE legends...never to be duplicated or repeated.

  • @jjkhawaiian

    he did sing live, but only during the 1977 usa tour, and only the backing vocals for one song, that's "battle of evermore".

  • jpj knew when to change chord. no one ele did. listen again. ull see.... .... hear

  • Baton Rouge May 77,,,they were a Hour and 45 minutes late as they got caught in NOLA to BR traffic on I-10 and played 5 extra songs for that digression. Awesome show.

  • Does ANYBODY know the lyrics in this song? ;-)

  • i like this raw version a little better haha

  • Love the arrangement of this number. Especially, when Jimmy comes strumming in.

  • i love it when they stop at the third minute and pick it back up again at the fourth. thats raw power. 03:40. Bonham kills it!

  • @TheGoldenChile I know....friggen amazin is all they ever were my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • wow, this version is vast!

  • Plant was really getting that 68-72 voice back he was starting to hit those notes again

  • Listen to that heavy synth riff in the beginning... absolutely freakin' amazing<3

  • Why would they bury the vocal in the mix the final mix is very similar to this

  • Greatest rock and roll band ever no one is even close to them.

  • @oddbumbles Fuckin' A!!!!!!!

  • @oddbumbles ...amen to that!!

  • those lyrics aren't even in the original song at all.. well at least in the first part. but still cool. zeppelin rocks!

  • the "produced by Jimmy Page" was an honorary title at this time i believe, JPJ and RP produced this album, i love this outtake... it gives me chills as a zep fan.... what happened to the little JPJ riffs???  a great zep song..... i cant understand 50% of the lyrics....

  • ya, rip bonzo, yes ITTOD is a jonesy and percy album, bonzo still banged and page still ripped.... the thing is, if you loved the 1st 8 albums this album is just the 9th and final of the legacy.... every song is just the continuing history of the story of the greatest band ever,......

  • @milesneedham Coda is the 9th

  • thanks youtube for letting us share these rare recordings!

  • How will I be able to sleep tonight.? LOL...

  • I picked up a boot legs in college called "The Knobs - Midnight Rehersals" with all poor quality stuff like this. Awesome.

  • I was thinking which Led Zeppelin song is my favourite. F*ck, i don't know! Every song is different, amazing, epic. Thank you, guys!

  • 2 dislikes??? This is ZEPPELIN how could you not love it?

  • this SUCKS!!! the regular one is better

  • @mrblack154 it might just be because (looks at title) oh it's an EARLY REHERSAL not a concert or album

  • @mrblack154 ...no shit Sherlock!! Not the sharpest tool in the toolbox are you? People like you dont deserve Led Zep!!

  • Lighten up  dickweed....

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a keyboard player originally and when I heard the bass on this song I wanted to know who was playing it. When I found out it was the same guy doing all the synths and the bass guitar that was it, had to pick the bass up straight away!!!

  • I was fucking there. I might be 56, but I don't have alzheimers, nor do I forget how to spell altzhimerrs. Zepp nailed this song on the night, long live rock and roll.

  • @kevinbreen when u say u were there ! do u mean u were at polar studio????

  • nope. only one that blew "Fooli In The Rain"? Defend that. Poor effort.

    

  • nope. only one that blew "Fooli th Rain"? Defend that.

  • I think this is one of Zeps most under appreciated albums. Listening to this really makes me think of Jonesy's solo work. He was so quiet, but he was just as brilliant as Page and Plant (and Bonham). There really was magik in those 4. Nothing duplicated to this day.

  • @tyedye67 so true, they were so original

  • I agree that Jonesy and Robert were the ones who were arriving to the studio on time for these sessions and that it was Jonesy who wrote most of it. But Jimmy did some great playing on All My Love, I'm Gonna Crawl and also some great guitar synthesizer playing in Fool in the Rain. Bonzo's playing on all the tracks speak for themselves. All in all it ended up to be a team effort when Jimmy and Bonzo dragged their asses into he studio and did their parts.

  • For the longest time I thought they had never actually "rehearsed" Carouselambra. I thought it was brought to the studio as "ready to play" by JPJ, with each one recording his parts with the engeneer. I really like what I'm hearing - it shows that this song could have found its way to the stage.

  • Yes indeed it  don't get any better then this band right !!!!

  • please let vids stay  this guy does bonham good i'm sure Bonham's looking down sayibng good job

  • great version dont think i ever heard this one you got ht e particulars on when and where it was done

  • rare....u say..rare? all led zeppelin is rare they fukin rock way hard

  • Very cool.

  • this bullcrap is a sound manipulation of the original album track....be not decieved!

  • @TheHuntingdrummer - Dude, HOW WRONG can you be ?? Can't you hear everything is different here ? Just check out the LYRICS, for Christ's sake ! It's a prototype !

  • The keyboards sound really different in this rehearsal from the recording. But it's good.

  • Its a trip how your such a zeppelin fan you can literally look at a photo and know what tour and year it is by the hair, clothes, drums, jewelry, and such. If your that person let me know with a thumbs up. Can help be in awe of these fools...simply the finest band ever!!!!!!!!

  • @baronsting For a time i could tell you the set list on a particular tour.

  • @baronsting I got so good at this, that I have become able to tell what year it is in a photo judging by how much Robert Plant is aged.

  • @baronsting Funny you say that because I can look at Zeppelin photos (or photos of other bands for that matter) and tell just by their clothes what year the photo was taken.

  • the gizmotron works wonders on this track

  • Awesome!!! It was breaking up obviously. Pretty cool stuff!!!

  • The lyrics sound a little bit different.

  • Probably THE most under-rated Zep song... But one of my all-time faves!

  • this is waaaay more than insane

  • still stand to turn in seconds of release, await the call they know may never come

    i love Carouselambra!

  • @sco40 I could never make anything except "another day...another day..." :/

  • I always thought it wouldve been cool to go into a big guitar solo jam after the slower middle part. That wouldve made it a really really awesome song.

  • whoever comments on other peoples music is like a DJ your a record player player!!! stealer of other peoples shit. fuck you no one cares what you think, go fuck a rotweiller.

  • OK MABEY ITS NOT STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN OR BLACK DOG BUT ATLEAST ITS GODLIKE COMPARED TO THE SHIT WE HAVE TODAY!!!

  • @Forinformation Carouselambra is better than Stairway and Black Dog put together, IMHO. This has always been one of my favorite tunes from my favorite band.

  • wow, this is a heck of a lot of fun! being with them during the creative process is priceless... thanks Wanton.

  • I love carouselambra.

  • @goldplatted45 I'm sorry what the fuck did you just say? thats so not true presence was a total masterpiece let me fucking remind you asswhipe that not only was achilles last stand on presence but hot dog was on inthrough the outdoor so was fool in the rain and many other geat songs some of his best fucking solos are on presence and in through the out door you fucking moron.

  • shitty.

  • @goldplatted45 what's your latest gold record ??? that's what i thought. pffftt!!

  • How the hell do you find this stuff?

  • Don't take the music too seriously - the lyrics can be inane but they need to sound GOOD, something Zeppelin always managed to do. This song is epic, way ahead of its time.

  • @Scrimmer08 i know, half of what robert plant sang was groaning. still sounded amazing and fitted perfectly with each song

  • you are ginger and four foot tall. why else would you have a chip on your little shoulders.

  • I hate to say it but if Bonzo didn't die of booze then Jimmy was next with his drug addiction.. We can always remember them for the gods they were

  • If this song and the album in it's entirety seem different from the rest of the zep stuff that's because it is! This album was mostly produced by Plant and Jones while Page was far gone in his addiction. It is the least Page driven album because they couldn't get him in the studio on most days. He'd walk in occasionally and lay down a few guitar tracks then vanish again. JPJ's overpowering keyboards on this track are a perfect example of the band trying to cover for Jimmy. Ok, school's out ;)

  • I love Pages style of playing but a band that sticks with riffy rock year after year gets old, This is my favorite album because they pulled through and made it

  • FUK YEAAAAAAAAAA.THANX FOR THIS

  • for some reason this is my least fav zeppelin song, not saying it's bad, I guess I just don't get it

  • The lyrics are like some returning prince to his kingdom stuff like in the Song Remains The Same movie, but the music (from the very first riff to the climbing crescendo to the transition to the mellow segment) is just SO appealing and progressive sounding to me that I don't even really get into the lyrics until the end where Plant says pick the fruit and guard the sea so prophetically. The song sounds futuristic STILL.

  • But this is the future, I'll guess we'll have to wait another 30yrs for it to come around, lol

  • I know what you are saying (yes, this is the future from the late seventies) , but some songs just ALWAYS sound progressive (forward thinking as far as technology and possibility...NOT progressive as in politics) with their momentous structure, etc. This is one of those songs...much like "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who...or various songs by Pink Floyd or Yes. They have a timeless quality because of this.

  • I hear ya, but it's still my least fav zep song, and i've been a fan for 30 yrs

  • One of my favourite Zep song.I like this version..

  • This song would've simply OWNED had they done it live. Of course Plant would've nailed the vocals more powerfully than here.

  • Still can't hear Plant. Why is he so buried in the mix? Even live I can barely understand what he's saying.

  • delacrux, thats because its a bootleg you fucking idiot!! How fucking stupid are you? On a scale of 1 to 10, you must be about fucking zero you knobhead!!

  • No shit its a bootleg. I own the fucking album as well and Plants vocals are buried in the mix. I thought that because it was a live rehearsal that I would be able to hear Plant more clearly, dickweed.

  • take it easy...

  • delacrux..........please forgive cocksuckerocean10 he has not got a clue.

  • dear cocksuckerocean of all the hurtful things you could have levelled at me and you call me a "daydreamer".......how sweet.

  • ledzeplad hahaha you can fuck off too you fucking cunt!! Go back to your fishing you boring dullard!! If anyone is a cocksucker its a fucking cunt like you!!

  • cocksuckerintheoceanonboysaged­10!!!....listen everyone he is a fucking sound engineer now!!.....he knows everything but FUCK ALL about music and he is slagging some other poor guy of on you tube for making a mistake. get back into bed with your sister and leav us all alone..........prick!

  • ledzeplad, hahahahahaha its so easy to get you wound up you dickhead!! You semm to know even less you cunt!! You go on many Zep vids slagging Page off, you are the prick!! Hahaha its your sister Im fucking!! Hahahaha loser "leave us all alone?" you sound like a right 8 year old!! Go run off to your Mummy little prick!! Hahaha

  • oooooooohhhhhh!!!!.....talk about hitting a raw nerve. I have never seen you but i put money on the fact that you have got GINGER hair as well

  • ledzeplad, ?????????? Ginger hair? You are weird? Why dont you ask your sister you loser!! hahahahaah I can see you now "Mummy mummy, Im getting bullied again" Your Mom replies "Well stop being a fucking retarded cunt then you twat!, I wish I never had you!!" Hahahaha you soft baby!!

  • Have you lost your temper my friend???.......having ginger hair isnt that bad!!!......not unless you are scottish???.......oh sorry please forgive me. There is a bottle of buckfast on its way up to you as an apology. If you are still upset in the morning i will send up a couple of deep fried battered mars bars.

  • ledzepweirdo, No, not really. Just a bit confused by your anti Jimmy Page ramblings? What is buckfast and deep fried battered mars bars? You speak in odd language all of a sudden? Is it because I fucked your sister? You are weird? Have you lost the plot? hahahah

  • .......you didnt deny the fact you have got GINGER hair though did you??? Just for the record how tall are you?

  • ledzeplad, thanks for asking about me! For the record I am not ginger and I am 6ft 5. Hows your Mom and sister? Are they still a bit sore? Hahahaha you dickhead!! When you go fishing down the lane they ring me and say "Come round quick, the little shitheads fucked off to do some fishing!!" Hahahahaha

  • @coltsuperocean10 WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS FIGHTING. JUST APPRECIATE THE MUSIC FOR GODS SAKE

  • zeppelin will always be the greatest. r.i.p bonzo we love you

  • Yeah, this is pretty cool...

  • Boy, whenever I hear these two track room mic type of recordings of Zep, I am totally amazed at how full their sound without the benefit of a full PA. Immense.

  • this is proof of how incredible the early stages of a song can be

  • This is my 3rd fav LZ song. There's 3 notes this song hits that just send me. JPJ and B3 is truly amazing. It's great to be in with the creative process. What a thrill! luv it luv it luv it thank you thank you thank you. Diane

  • Pretty much Jonesy's album...one of my favs.

  • @vincevega0 - Exactly! In the same way, The Who recordings had Entwistle all over them in the 70s too, cos he was the better keyboardist.

  • @vincevega0 Yep, if not for him, it wouldn't have happened. This song is my favorite, a classic as important as Stairway in my opinion. John Paul Jones was the glue that kept this one together.

  • @dougww1ectebow I often wonder what Zep would have evolved into, if they had lasted into the era of digital synths. Plant's "In The Mood" gives a hint.

  • @TheSanityInspector

    After the 1st album Plant chose to insult the guitar and did a lot of commercial wannabee stuff. HOPELESS.

    In 1993 he returned with Fate Of Nations, incl loads of Zepp stuff live.

    Synths are shit and mainly ok to make a demo.

    Nothing beats good old keys like Hammond.

  • any ZEP stuff is a GIFT!!!!!!!!!

    Paul the SPARTAN Mavrakis

  • I love this album. It reminds me of Super Nintendo.

  • lol, nintendo?? how so?

  • because of the early synth sounds and its highly repetitive use

  • The synth sound.

  • super? reminds me of plain old nintendo, i think one of the songs in the original megaman game sounded like this

  • YES!!

  • o_0 , why i did'nt hear this before , this is fucking amazing

  • One word: AMAZING!

  • One of my favorite zep tunes. The bridge in the middle (key of D with 1/2 time drum parts) is beautiful. I know Mr. Jones made the group more than a classic rock group. If you ever wondered what the Rain Song would sound like in piano, check out the vid response (rain song). I would also like to know where these rare recordings are coming from. Relative or studio engineer with access to the masters? Thanks for posting.

  • Comment removed

  • It's a rare early rehearsal, don't be so bitchy.

  • Love this song.

  • clearwater castle is jimmy pages home

  • the intro of that track dosent sound like the original

  • this is one of the best zep songs

    should have been played as much as stairway to heaven I think

  • :o no sabia que la tocaron en vivo!!!

  • well they left him out of the loop

  • any one know why Jimmy and Robert gave J P J the cold shoulder at the hall of fame that was kind of weird

  • I believe J P Jones was upset that he wasn't involved with the 95 No Quarter project. Basically Page just joined Robert's band. Robert already had Charlie Jones as a bass player since Now and Zen, Manic NIrvana and then Fate of Nations when drummer Michael Lee Joined in. So I believe Jones might have said something.

  • its from upstairs in the basement or down stairs in the attic I forget now

  • Should have been played live...

  • Read in bookstore - flipping through one of their available biography - that it would have been the opening song in their 1980 North American tour that got cancelled because of Bonzo's death.

  • BONZO IS STILL ALIVE.

  • lol right on mate!! I'll go wash my mouth with soap!! Cheers

  • Never thought i'd hear this live

  • This from "out through the back door"?

  • no its from "in through the out door"

  • I knew it was "Inthrough the Out Doot",, there was a bootleg called Out through the Back Door"

  • I now know where Boston's "Don't Look Back" draws its inspiration from...;)

  • outstanding

  • Oh, and BTW, many songs were born from suggestive beats created by none other than my hero: John Henry Bonham!

    Page himself has stated that.

  • No ONE person alone was ZEPPELIN! Page the producer (created the coveted drum sound!) Bonham to execute it, JPJ to hold the bottom (and ALLof his plethora of musical skills he shares with Page) And, well, Plant was THE quintessential (sp) Front man. Why argue whose what? They form a body.

  • You're absolutely right. There were four people in Led Zeppelin. I can't believe more people don't realize that.

  • They were a four headed beast.

  • One of the first Zep songs I ever remember hearing. I was about 10 years old. Loved it even then.

  • Best led zeppelin song ever

  • Hardly.

  • oh my god, bonzo is on fire here

    never heard him in better form than he is in this!

    geez!

  • Think this song off of "in through the out door" would have made a great live number,sadly although it was rehearsed it was never played live.

  • Comment removed

  • No way. It rocks.

  • good for you.

  • This was page's smacked-out album. The other members stepped into the limelight with the writing credits.

  • im not really a to big fan of this song...

  • once you give it a few times, it really grows on you. It was my least favorite on In Through The Out Door, and now it's one of my favorites on that album.

  • Yes, John Paul Jones was totally underrated and didn't get the credit he deserved. Just listen to the bass on The Lemon Song! Unbelievable.

    And the riff to Black Dog was his, by the way.

  • JPJ is zep a far as arrangements were concerned,Page has taken a ride on the back of his talent for a bit longer than you think-incredible man.

  • JPJ was the better musician. Page the better producer.

  • listen to the bass on the studio version of this... it's really really great

  • Alot of Zeppelin songs were made around one Jones riff.( in this case a synth riff)See Wanton Song,,Fool in the Rain,Trampled ,Black Dog(bass riff).And they manage to make something epic out of all those.

  • You're absolutely correct. Jonesy was not given credit on MANY Zeppelin songs that his hand had a major part in...Kasmir, for instance. Why wasn't Jonesy given writing credit for the string arrangement? There's much more to John Baldwin that No Quarter, folks. He was one-fourth of Led Zeppelin.

  • He received no quarter of the credit

  • Well, even though Bonham is my favorite of the four, Jonesy was not given as much credit as he should have gotten. Without him, there would be no Stairway to Heaven, no Kashmir, no Trampled Underfoot, no No Quarter, no Carouselambra. Without Jones, there wouldn't even be Led Zeppelin.

  • Definitely right. I would even say Jones is the biggest contributor out of the bunch. You pointed out that without him there would be no Led Zeppelin. That's how big of a contibutor Jones is. No Jones, no Zep. No Zep, no reason to live anymore. lol jk I'm a die hard fan of Led Zeppelin, but not literally lol.

  • Were they really his riffs?

    If so why didn't they give him writing credit?

    They did on this song. So that makes me think the other riffs were Page's.
