[Voluptuouslola]

Love his ecstatic wailing, so hot it puts me in a state of perpetual rapture

[ndb1971]

well some of your comments about page and bonham lead me to believe otherwise, but like all the arts its a matter of personal taste and preferance

[ndb1971]

thats cool,to each their own,i just like to defend misconceptions about the band like they stole all their songs, jimmy page is a blues guitarist, bonham was heavy handed,if you match the sheet music with their uncredited covers you will see the arrangements are quite different,it was plants lyrics that would get them into trouble even though in concerts he would tout and describe the origins of their early songs) and I encourage people to explore their whole catalog and not just the radio hits.

[zogrush]

no everyone, 22 people just missed the like thumb

[MsKingsise]

22 dislikes of people that never have a orgasm

[ndb1971]

check out Trampled Under Foot for Motown/Stax influence for starters,I agree it is obvious that Page was least influenced (but he did like it) by the blues and more influenced by rockabilly, folk, jazz and classical, I wouldnt even call them a blues based band, it is primarily Plants influence and lyrics that cause this, the first two albums are basically live albums with a few originals thrown together in a short amount of time, it is from the 3rd album on were there start to write originals.

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

I know Page was already a fixture on the music scene before Led Zepp and have read about his influences. The folk sources are fairly obvious - Bert Jansch, Davey Graham. Any tracks of him available playing rockabilly, jazz?

[ndb1971]

@karnebo one last thing about Bonham, John Paul Jones tells a story about when James Browns three drummers would come to watch Bonham warm up before shows and they would marvel at him and that Bonham would get so nervous because he loved Stubblefield and Purdie, check out Fool in the Rain, it is a varaition of Purdies half time shuffle, you can also find the isolated drum track of it on youtube, I just find it amazing that a band that many would describe as abrasive could be so popular

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

I think we both agree that blues was not their forte. I forgot about Trampled Under Foot. Any other examples where they bring a lighter touch? I was spoiled by having all those really funky bands as the soundtrack to my teens (Bar-Kays, Booker T, Sly). Watch the Funk Bros youtube vids ... 4 or 5 percussionists, each playing a discrete role, and it's nowhere near as obtrusive as Bonham's playing here.

Other than their blues, Motown-influenced stuff, I do appreciate them.

[ndb1971]

@karnebo listen to their live bootlegs and releases you will find whole 20 min sections of Page playing carl perkins,scotty moore,link wray, type stuff, plus if you explore (you can find some on youtube) the sessions Page played on you will see his diversity, influence does not mean the same type of music verbatim,you may prefer artists who try to play just like their influences with subtle differences, to me that is boring (i always found the blues to be boring),I like funk though

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

I'll check out his playing out on some of these more obscure releases. Meanhwile, please reread what I wrote. (While it's true I don't particularly like heavy metal), I really appreciated the innovations Led Zepp brought to the music world at the time. You don't have to try so hard to convince me. In fact, their abrasiveness is one of the qualities I liked about their overall sound, except that this very quality, for my money, makes their blues and funkier pieces unlistenable.

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

I understand what dynamics are, influence vs imitation, etc. I was a full time musician back in the 70's, playing mostly blues (surprise), rockabilly, ragtime.

[ndb1971]

@karnebo I just think u may find them to be too bombastic, flamboyant ,over the top, in your face, I bet you dont like heavy metal, but listen to their lighter, acoustic stuff, start of with Houses of the Holy (least heavy album)listen to theThe Rain Song,they have a funk track on that album The Crunge where they goof off with funk and shifting time signatures, Led Zep 3 is a lighter album besides Immigrant Song, Bonham could not be so heavy without being light too, its called dynamics

[ndb1971]

I disagree about the swing, albeit much heavier in its extremes, Bonham and Jones were huge Motown and Stax fans with tremendous feel,swing and groove (thats what their known for), I think the bigger insult is the Rolling Stones and other bands who tried to play the blues covers verbatim and never really made it their own. Bohham could not be heavy without being light too, they called it dynamics or light and shade and that is what Zep was all about and thats what seperates them from most.

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

I agree - the light and shade, the great groove, making certain covers their own (although I'd have to go back and listen to see where you hear the Motown/Stax influences). Just not the blues covers ! As for bringing blues to America's attention, the Stones, Mayall, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Butterfield, Bloomfield et al were on the scene several years earlier. I also don't recall Zepp ever recording/jamming with any of the great blues artists.

[ndb1971]

@karnebo Page was around as early as 1963, he sat in with Alexis Korner, Graham Bond and Mayall as a teenager, the mgr. of yardbirds wanted to kick Clapton out (clapton quit anyway) and bring Page in, he produced and played on "im your witchdoctor"with Clapton in '65, Mayall wanted him before he settled on Green and then Taylor, he was mentor to J. Beck in his early days, he commisioned Roger Mayer to make his first fuzzbox (the Page 1) for him 3 years before Hendrix came to England

[ndb1971]

@ndb1971 he was in the studio when The Who and The Kinks recorded their first hits just in case Townshend and Davies could not "hack" it and they hated him for it, produced and played on Becks Bolero in 66, played on Goldfinger for George Martin, played for Joe Cocker, Van Morrison, Donovan tracks, the Stones wanted him, the Who almost broke up because of him, Atlantic records gave him $200,000 (unprecedented) in 1968 just because he said he was forming a band, you didnt ask but im just saying

[ndb1971]

@ndb1971 LOL im replying to myself, anyway you didnt ask but im just saying Jimmy Page "the shy boy" was a living guitar legend in England before he even formed Led Zeppelin.

[ndb1971]

you have a point, but these guys (Led Zep) never really had the "blues", they were filthy rich in their early 20's with no real life experience, you cant expect pain or soul in their playing, although Page does a great job sounding like it, they were cream of the crop musicians that showed off their extreme talents and even though people complain about proper credits on covers, they brought the blues back to America and the blues pioneers sold alot more of their own records because of them.

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

Let's retrace. My observations were based solely in response to a comment here that they were the “electric blues experience” and the fact that people were calling Page the greatest blues guitarist around when they first came out. I disagree. Whether they could have been expected to have the blues with all their wealth and lack of life experience is another matter. For me, they didn't, whereas Butterfield, Bloomfield, two pretty well-heeled guys, played blues with conviction.

[karnebo]

OK, they basically rocked the world with their new sound at the time. It was unique. But people were going around saying they were top notch blues artists, whereas they had no feel for blues at all. Listen to the original I Can't Quit You Baby by Otis Rush, the guy who actually wrote the song and try to figure out why.

[ndb1971]

@karnebo Willie Dixon wrote it and a shitload of bands covered it and he was credited on the first album (suprise) even though the instrumentation and dynamics are light years ahead of anything Dixon could accomplish.

[karnebo]

@ndb1971

You're right, it is a Dixon song. Rush, I see, was the first to record it. I'm not disputing Led Zep's genius ... they were in the vanguard of a new sound, one could say they more or less invented it. I'm talking about their blues covers. In this area alone, IMHO, their versions don't convey the feel, the controlled expression, the swing, found in the ensemble playing of the originals. Instead, they seem to equate blues with overkill.

[ndb1971]

@karnebo see comments

[MrArtPolice]

I see heaven

[chancesareshewears]

Fantastic.at their very best, before the US ruined them...

[kalendfz6r600]

Led Zeppelin Is one of my top bands but this song they redid sucks 

[karnebo]

@kalendfz6r600

Yes. No comparison to the original by Otis Rush.

[xyntota]

Led Zeppelin never wrote a bad songs.

[karnebo]

@xyntota

Actually, for the most part, at least at the beginning of their career, they ripped off songs from other artists, passing them off as their own. It's pretty common knowledge.

[Flatted357]

proof of the existence of the FLATTED 357 -- A minor all the way, except the perfect third appears in the primary lick--the blues scale, all notes, appear--root, two sharp, FLATTED 3, perfect 3, 4, 5, FLATTED 5, 6 sharp, FLATTED 7, AND of course, back to root. a perfect demonstration.

[rolaball1974]

Better stuff in 1970 than Zeppelin? Such as? Nobody has bettered them yet and never will the greatest collection of musicians ever in one band they collectively piss all over everyone else from a very great height, idiot.

[bongbuddy283]

HEY! wheres the rest of the performance? theres like 2 mininutes missing.

[najusable]

Go to hell haters..

[MrGreenjeans70]

Is it 4:20 where ya'll are??All hail the mighty Zeppelin....

[TheSilverguy79]

Better stuff in 1970 going on then this, that was a long time ago but its still better to listen to today then the garbage from Justin Bieber and Obama care the two of them go together like a hand in a glove.

[XDKX101]

@TheSilverguy79 Better stuff in the 70s that Zep? Man, Led Zep were the 70s Rock n Roll era. They were the best then, they are the best now, and they will always be the best tomorrow.

[nettax]

oh my godddd...my brain is exploding from the magnitude of this genius.

[Diogenes1360]

Too bad Janis Joplin died before she could sing a duet with her twin brother, Robert Plant.

[SnaKeEXx]

21 persons were quit by Robert Plant

[barbaramay149]

I was at this concert, what a night. Bring it back home Zep.

[magicalmysterytour4]

You say Lady Gaga, I say The Doors

You say Hannah Montana, I say The Rolling Stones

You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin

You say Jonas Brothers, I say The Beatles

You say Justin Bieber, I say Queen

You say Taylor Swift, I say AC/DC

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy&paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rickroll die

Jimmy does the best damn vibrato ever

[ledzeppelinroyalhall]

What a boss 1:23 classic robert

[HolyMomsen]

20 dislikes ? really ? you've got problems with taste..

[Juviex]

@HolyMomsen is because the video is not complete

[pirateguitarrr]

@HolyMomsen they got the right to have no taste

[pantercigars]

@HolyMomsen right man...they were the electric blues excellence....

[somenun]

best band ever playing their best concert ever! soooooooo dirty yet clean

[3434arc1]

@somenun "Best band ever"? Absolutely!! Nobody has remotely equaled Led Zeppelin. No wonder, because in Zep you have a seemingly impossible concentration of talent surpassed only by the unique magical entity/chemistry created when that talent melded. "Their best concert ever"? R.A.Hall is pure brilliance and I love it dearly but Zep performed dozens of concerts that, (as great as this is), were just on a different level. ie Imagine "Osaka '71" with this quality of audio & video....

[dsargent77]

2 comments! such badassery silences us mortals...

[AlekHol]

I keep wondering how would it be to make love with Plant by that time. Probably one of the best fucks of all your life

[iriswigle]

Take off of Janis Joplin almost note for note, sound for sound and I had to really look to make sure it wasn't Bobby Darin and his band, 1970 cause Bobby would play jokes on Janis just like Janis was pretending to be Bobby Darin singing his blues and bad English lanuage before Zed took stage later on in 1973
