@TheRed100s Thank you. I've spoken to people, hardcore LZ fans, about how Hendrix pretty much influenced every guitarist's sound & they always say "he may have influenced others but not J.page". This is clear proof although I'm a zep fan but the truth is the truth.
you really get a sense of how page could develop musical ideas in this song. he took an originally boring song and made it interesting.
as for the performance quality..i don't mind about that - the studio is where you see his brilliance. it's like sometimes he would take his "thinkin cap" off when he would play live.
john bonham sounds wonderful in this performance though.
John Bonham had the best foot in rock, triplets and more. Zep is doing a cover of a song written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc just as the Yardbirds did. No one is stealing anything…
Jimmy Page joined the Yardbirds following argument in which Paul Samwell-Smith left the band following a gig at the Oxford Union. JP was meant to play the bass (despite being an in-demand session musician) but end up playing lead guitar after Jeff Beck (best guitarist in the world i.m.o...just lousy composer) dropped out of the subsequent US tour. Subsequently this proved to be the result of a nervous breakdown rather than some artistic hissy-fit so let's not hold it against him!
Way cool!!!! Great tele sound!!! It's all here! Heavy fucking riffs...dynamics....raw vocals...killer bass!! All playing together!!! No backing track needed! What a great finish Plant made of it with that endless note!!!
Way cool!!!! Great tele sound!!! It's all here! Heavy fucking riffs...dynamics....raw vocals...killer bass!! All playing together!!! No backing track needed!
Robert Plant's Voice is just..... It's Just Fucking Nice man. This is the sound that just made LZ what they are today.This song reminds me of How Many More Times when he says Ill give you diamond rings etc etc. Good song this version is just badass. Groove on it bitches
Did anyone notice that the For Your Love whiskey 69 version is edited at the 420 mark- cutting the guitar solo. The played it maybe 5 times ever. The Fillmore West version a week later is FAR Superior!! San Francisco was Zepps first home away from home- get it Smogville!!!!!
I don't think Led Zeppelin really stole this song, considering it was the Yardbirds song & Jimmy Page was a member of the Yardbirds.
As far as not a good performance.... Led Zeppelin had only formed the year before this clip was filmed, so they did need to improve. And IMPROVE they did. They went on to be one of the best & unique bands of all time. A Band with real talent. Also, in those days they sound & film equipment wasn't very good either!
@kerrie1313 Yeah but I don't think Page was part of the Yardbirds when they did the original song were they? To me the zepplin version sounds too much alike for coincidence, more rock and roll for sure but still.
@KSitz77 Of course Zeppelin played Yardbirds numbers! The first tour they did was under contract as the Yardbirds (billed as The New Yardbirds), so that's what they started out with. They had to play some Yardbirds numbers in the first tour, so they threw them in as covers later.
@SAMMAC666: Jimmy Page may have been Zeppelin - but he was hardly The Yardbirds. Paul Samwell-Smith and Jeff Beck were. Page was a top British session guitarist filling in on bass when Samwell-Smith left. Beck was the Yardbirds amazing lead guitarist - who helped set the standard for using special effects and feedback.
@KSitz77: Eric Clapton was still with the Yardbirds when For Your Love was recorded. He quit in a huff almost immediately afterwards since it wasn't blues. OK, it was about a day and a huff - after Jimmy Page turned the gig down and recommended Jeff Beck. It was a win-win for both the Yardbirds and Clapton as it turned out.
@kerrie1313 Don't be so easily mislead by poor sound quality. It's not the performance that's bad, it's the recording. Hear Zeppelin live from Royal Albert Hall to see there was already little if any room left for improvement by 1969.
If you don't like Zeppelin or think they stole songs that's fine but why are you here listening and taking your precious time typing messages about it? I don't go on the videos of the sucky bands you like or think are original and post comments about them, oh thats probably because I won't waste time listening to Katy Perry or Lady GaGa and posting things to their videos!!!
Why do you think that everyone who criticises LZ for "borrowing" from old blues artist and their peers automatically have to like K Perry Or L GaGa? For example I like LZ but as any rock band they aren't untouchable, they aren't a sacred cow . And the truth is they "borrowed" more that anyone else from the "Rock Elite".
@xJayWalkerx Hey relax and what's with the "Rock Elite" term? You say it like "Elite" is bad or something. I for one like "Elite" things and people. I want my Doctor to be an Elite Medical Professional, I want my Accountant to be an Elite Accounting Professional, I want our Armed Forces to be an Elite Fighting Force and I want my Rock n Roll to be the best and thats what Led Zeppelin is the BEST of the Rock Elite! Yes they nicked some lyrics but thats old news and people got paid or will !
@jabartone Well, I don't know if it is or ain't for certain, but that sure sounds like Plant's voice. Zep really sounded different live from their albums. Improvisation was de rigeur for them. Watch "Song Remains the Same" video and you'll see what I mean. However; unfortunately, they were often drugged-up while performing and that may have been a factor. I still love their work.
A cover version by Peter Blakely is featured in the 1990 film "The Crossing".
The song was also recorded by Herman's Hermits, Humble Pie, The Greg Kihn Band, Nils Lofgren, Fleetwood Mac, Chilly, The Ace Kefford Stand, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, and Graham Gouldman himself.
Led Zeppelin played it several times during early concert tours between 1968 and 1969 which is audible on bootlegged material and this being one of them you tool....
@ledzeppelin750 Hey bro I think you need to get your ears checked.....Its FOR YOUR LOVE and its called IMPROV! And my bad on who played guitar on the yardbirds version which was JEFF BECK.......
No, Jimmy Page did not write this song. Page joined the Yardbirds as a bass player. The song was written by Graham Gouldman and recorded before Page joined the band.
I saw them around this time in the Forum and they were better--but in the final analysis (this will be the one)--it's a band playing music to get pussy.
@cnote05 this is nothing like "for your love" by the yardbirds and jimmy was not in the band when it was performed by them nor was it even written by any of the members in the yardbirds...
Actually it's all about the SOUND. That rare Led Zeppelin sound that cannot be replicated no matter how hard people try. Whether Zeppelin plagarized or not is particularly relevant. If people want to listen to 'You Shook Me' by Willie Dixon, they can. But if you want to listen to an electrified, groovy blues-rock durge, Zeppelin style, you pick up LZ1 and plug it in. Take any song that Zeppelin 'stole', 'copied', 'cover', you'll notice that it was absolute horseshit.
When it's 2 giants, colossal legends like Zep and Yardbirds, it's OK to cover each others work, but don't even get me started with shite bands like Korn, LImp Bizkit, SOAD, Kid Rock and all that other garbage around today.
Unfortunately, the song I was thinking of is Deep Purple's "Might just take your life"; but I don't think that's the one being played at the end here.
@beckcom64 No, this song was released in 1974 and Deep Purple didn't play it at the time. It's a cover of the Band's "Chest Fever", and I'd really like to hear it in its complete form by Led Zeppelin!
I LOVE THIS and totally different from Yardbirds version...but can anyone tell me what the song is that starts playing at the very end of this clip? I have heard it and really liked it, but I have researched and can't seem to find what it is...was thinking Traffic or Blind Faith...
@cesarcerf you follow-me over here for another thrashing - you're a true masochistic. if you're another guy using@cesarcerf apologies, if you're the same uninformed fool at disputing the long since authenticated "i want you outtakes," oh well, here we go again. first of all neither Hendrix nor Beethoven were/are part of the discussion, but since you raise them, the vast majority of the 6th was his and guitar riffs are not the same thing as entire compositions. you're dissembling here.
cottond44. I like and know more about Zeppelin than you - a dateless, (with women anyway) security guard will ever know and Page himself LAST YEAR said Zeppelin has not properly credited many of the songs they lifted. Likewise, the entirety of Dazed and Confused was lifted as was the opening of Stairway.
They're a great band but also a special case in "song theft."
@caesarcerf To be fair, they took their "borrowings" to dizzying new heights, that would have not been reached otherwise. Jimi Hendrix borrows a few Albert Collins licks in "Drivin' South", Beethoven quotes a village band in his 6th symphony, & so forth.
@caesarcerf In the case of Dazed and Confused, the descending bass line and some of the lyrics, but they changed the song in such a diverse way I personally don't you think you could compare the two, however in the case of Stairway, just because theres an Am descending riff from the 5th position does not mean they copied it, in fact there are many songs from that position and simply because it's Zep has it been judged and looked upon in that way, I'm not attacking you just saying.
pretty fascinating and inventive rendition; already shows hints of that spontaneous interplay that would be their hallmark. Plant a little off pitch, but I love the spirit.!
Interesting rendition of this song. Much blusier than the original. BTW in regard to SomeCaveman, Page didn't write this song, it was written by Graham Gouldman who later joined 10cc and performed by the Yardbirds as early as the Jeff Beck days.
i just love that Jimmy was disgustingly shreddable at this stage of his career, he was mature when he met the yardbirds, was a guru for zeppelin, for fucks sake he was ready to hit the stage at 15
this is not a very good example of the early zep, plant sings flat and the guitar has no presence and is lacklustre in places, sorry, I like zep as much as the next man but this was an off night.
@powellallan i understand everyone has their own opinion so i'm not attacking i just have to respectfully disagree. i agree it doesnt sound great but i think that has to do more with the quality of the recording than with the nights performance. but thats just me
@MrReallyHard Sorry to rain on the parade, but nearly all of Led Zeppelin I, part of II, and the Solo were all on this Telecaster, aka his Dragoncaster... Also the guitar you can readily see in many Page-era YB's vids. Tele's don't suck by any means- the Les Paul was Gibson's attempt to take some sales from Fender. The Tele is perhaps the single greatest guitar ever.
Also, see Black Sabbath's first album- parts of it were recorded with a Strat, and the rest with P90 SG's, not the HB kind.
The beginning and slower parts of the song remind me of Iron Man, by Black Sabbath... that's funny, I wonder if htere are recordings of their first years... their tour over Scandinavia for example.
@highfencejumper that's part of what makes zep sound the way they do, of course, but here it's just too unbalanced and it sounds like plant has trouble keeping up his voice... they've sounded better than this. it's a pity since it's interesting to hear their version of this song and this has lots of good moments.
@polkusin No. you don;t understand what I'm saying. This sounds fanatastic! It may seem errored and unbalanced, but that is what makes rock and roll rock and roll!
Pure funk! Just amazing! The heavy guitar and Roberts almost too quiet voice, is just wonderful. Whoever was lucky enough to be there at the time this was recorded, you're one lucky duck!
If it were NOT for Led Zeppelin, the music industry would now be up "Shit Street", & the World is a far better place for having Led Zeppelin, than not.
All the bands that try to copy, or who are influenced by the band, should stand up, & take a look at where they came from.
long live Led Zeppelin, & all that they played.......
Love the list of Black & White footage on the right of the screen.
Without knowing its Zep its really not very good. An interesting historical document of the band in its early stages though. Their debut album was released just a few days after this gig, but suprisingly they display none of the chemistry here that made the record so brilliant.
aw, c'mon, zep stole plenty of stuff (not talking about this song, which is an outright cover), though they arranged the pieces quite differently. anyone who says otherwise simply isn't familiar with the original songs.
there's a great quote, though, that insists that while "medioce artists borrow, great artists steal".
love zep & this is a pretty fun & different jam from the yarbirds' version.
You can debate all you want the merits of Robert Plant's vocals versus Keith Relf. But for this arrangement of this song, Plant's voice is awful. This was more a chance for Jimmy Page to strut his stuff.
Yo!Listen up Zeppelinn!"they didn't steal. They did the same thing everybody was doing at that time. "The difference here is that many of bands who chose to play the music of their mentors gave credit where credit was due!Page just hears what he likes and takes credit for it!Okay?don't believe me?Try looking up "Black Waterside"-Bert Jansch,or how about "Taurus"-Spirit..sound familiar?Yup Page is an evil tune thief!History will prove it!
@scumgod13 covering would imply there going to use the lyrics and not just steal the music and add new words over it. witch is what they are doing here.
@damphear2 No words used here were not in the original. But that's beside the point. To me, using the music and not the words makes it more of a cover than using the words but not the music. The words aren't the defining feature of a song; the music is. "Stroll On" is "The Train Kept a-Rollin'". Period. The Yardbirds (Keith Relf, really) changed the lyrics when director Michelangelo Antonioni wanted them to do "Train", but they didn't have time to secure the rights to use it in the movie.
i did some research and somewhere over the rainbow was recorded in March of 1968. So it seems possible that Page stole it as he stole a lot of things. But it wasn't uncommon of the time for artists back then to steal from each other.
@llZosoll and the key part riff of over the rainbow was another jam song he wrote way before that. hendrix always wrote a song that turned in to 3 other songs. most bands borrowed riffs and ideas not flat out stole a song 100% tho. zep was known for stealing peoples songs and calling it there own
they played here too?! sick. '69 ey? this is bout the time The Doors released their like 2nd album or something. but tht's cool. never knew they played here too. and i read that led zeppelin also started out at a bar called rock n roll something i believe
I have this bootleg, and it's one of my most prized possessions in my music collection of over 25,000 songs and 170.56 GB.
I think my favorite song off of this show is "Killing Floor". It's incredible how long Zep plays songs before they put them on a record. The audience must have shit their pants when they saw such a powerful band in a venue that could hold less than a thousand people.
Not sure how anyone can compare Roberts vocals to Stevie's. both were stupendous in their own rights. It would be comparing Freddie King to Albert King. They just did things right, but in a different way.
every artist stands on there influences that came before them! from music to photography. we are all influenced by the times and surroundings you grow up into.
doesn't matter what guitar he is playing , jimmy page can wrap a weed eater line around his dick and will still sound good, and people have 5000 and 6000 dollar gibsons customs and still sound like shit. jimmy played from telecaster to les pauls , still sounds the same. it is in your fingers and soul. wake up buddy !!!!!
LZ did take stuff from other musicians (not referring to this Yardbirds song) but any musician I believe will mention they take the things they like, but real note here is where can you get this album. P.S. just in LA, and even though the Whiskey a go go has LZ playing on the homepage of their website, they don't feature music anymore just horrible bands.
Hi, definitely a Fender Telecaster (like he used with the Yardbirds); probably the same one he used as main guitar on the first Zep album + subsequently for some of the best and most iconic solos ever recorded in a studio; Still I've Been Loving You, Stairway to Heaven, Tea for One, although he had by then switched to mainly using Les Pauls in the studio and above all on stage.
The biography of LZ, "When Giants Walked the Earth" by Mick Wall goes over all of the stuff you all are talking about. Good book. They were the New Yardbirds, and the whisky a go go concerts were the first shows where Led Zeppelin appeared on the poster, even though they already called themselves by that name.
That book made me not like Zeppelin as much. They literally stole most of their good songs. Sure they put the LZ twist on them and made them kickass, but they didn't give credit.
@cottond44 Most of their good songs? That's bullshit. Plus they didn't steal. They did the same thing everybody was doing at that time. Besides everyone takes inspiration from others. Whether it's intentional or not. Music of Led Zeppelin is not considered so unique because they were stealing something but because they were extremely inventive. End of story. Why don't all the bands heavily inspired by Zepp pay credits to them? Because it's bullshit.
@zeppelinn Led Zepplins' Robert and Jimmy were huge fans of old African-American blues. Huge fans and they added their own edge to it! The combination was un-believeably great! As a matter of fact Robert Plant loved him some Chuck Berry!
The facts are that they stole, they were sued, and they LOST
Case closed, all your fanboyism can't change the fact that they took other peoples music, stuck their own name on it and STOLE money from poor black american musicians
@ThePunkjaz Oh really? And how many times were they sued and lost? Plus if you "steal" from one poor black bluesman you basicly steal from all the others too. The fact is Zeppelin was a really succesful band. Some say they are the greatest band of all time. They were heavily inspired by blues music. But every musician takes his ideas from those before him. There's not a single note 100% original. You cannot own the music. YOU CAN ONLY MAKE IT LOOK TO BE YOURS.
@zeppelinn Every musician DOES NOT take other peoples songs and publish them with the author's name changed to himself. THAT is dishonest, and its illegal. Publishing royalties are a musicians main form of income.
As for JP's specific thievery, here's a good overview of the early LZ nickings on the perfect sound forever website, but anyone with a decent R & B collection from the 60's already knows the truth
@ThePunkjaz . so many bands in the mid to late 60's covered many black american blues artist and put them on their albums. page didnt steal shit he was offering people who had no idea about zeppelin to maybe get turned on to the band by hearing a song they already knew. Look at some of the beattles, stones, the yardbirds, even jimi hendrix, and the doors' first releases. full of covers,
@ledzeppelin750 Thats what a lot of people don't seem to grasp. COVERING a song is not the same as sticking on your name as the author, registering it with YOUR publishing house, and depriving the real author from his publishing royalties. That is theft, morally and legally. The Beatles The Stones and Hendrix didn't do that. Page has made a career of it.
do you have the interpretation of travelling riverside blues?

No, Jimmy Page did not write this song. Page joined the Yardbirds as a bass player. The song was written by Graham Gouldman and recorded before Page joined the band.

Actually it's all about the SOUND. That rare Led Zeppelin sound that cannot be replicated no matter how hard people try. Whether Zeppelin plagarized or not is particularly relevant. If people want to listen to 'You Shook Me' by Willie Dixon, they can. But if you want to listen to an electrified, groovy blues-rock durge, Zeppelin style, you pick up LZ1 and plug it in. Take any song that Zeppelin 'stole', 'copied', 'cover', you'll notice that it was absolute horseshit.

When it's 2 giants, colossal legends like Zep and Yardbirds, it's OK to cover each others work, but don't even get me started with shite bands like Korn, LImp Bizkit, SOAD, Kid Rock and all that other garbage around today.

Unfortunately, the song I was thinking of is Deep Purple's "Might just take your life"; but I don't think that's the one being played at the end here.

@beckcom64 No, this song was released in 1974 and Deep Purple didn't play it at the time. It's a cover of the Band's "Chest Fever", and I'd really like to hear it in its complete form by Led Zeppelin!

@cesarcerf you follow-me over here for another thrashing - you're a true masochistic. if you're another guy using@cesarcerf apologies, if you're the same uninformed fool at disputing the long since authenticated "i want you outtakes," oh well, here we go again. first of all neither Hendrix nor Beethoven were/are part of the discussion, but since you raise them, the vast majority of the 6th was his and guitar riffs are not the same thing as entire compositions. you're dissembling here.

cottond44. I like and know more about Zeppelin than you - a dateless, (with women anyway) security guard will ever know and Page himself LAST YEAR said Zeppelin has not properly credited many of the songs they lifted. Likewise, the entirety of Dazed and Confused was lifted as was the opening of Stairway.
They're a great band but also a special case in "song theft."
caesarcerf 1 year ago
@caesarcerf To be fair, they took their "borrowings" to dizzying new heights, that would have not been reached otherwise. Jimi Hendrix borrows a few Albert Collins licks in "Drivin' South", Beethoven quotes a village band in his 6th symphony, & so forth.
TheSanityInspector 1 year ago
@caesarcerf In the case of Dazed and Confused, the descending bass line and some of the lyrics, but they changed the song in such a diverse way I personally don't you think you could compare the two, however in the case of Stairway, just because theres an Am descending riff from the 5th position does not mean they copied it, in fact there are many songs from that position and simply because it's Zep has it been judged and looked upon in that way, I'm not attacking you just saying.

@MrReallyHard Sorry to rain on the parade, but nearly all of Led Zeppelin I, part of II, and the Solo were all on this Telecaster, aka his Dragoncaster... Also the guitar you can readily see in many Page-era YB's vids. Tele's don't suck by any means- the Les Paul was Gibson's attempt to take some sales from Fender. The Tele is perhaps the single greatest guitar ever.
Also, see Black Sabbath's first album- parts of it were recorded with a Strat, and the rest with P90 SG's, not the HB kind.

aw, c'mon, zep stole plenty of stuff (not talking about this song, which is an outright cover), though they arranged the pieces quite differently. anyone who says otherwise simply isn't familiar with the original songs.
there's a great quote, though, that insists that while "medioce artists borrow, great artists steal".
love zep & this is a pretty fun & different jam from the yarbirds' version.

You can debate all you want the merits of Robert Plant's vocals versus Keith Relf. But for this arrangement of this song, Plant's voice is awful. This was more a chance for Jimmy Page to strut his stuff.

Knightmothafucka 1 year ago
@damphear2 No words used here were not in the original. But that's beside the point. To me, using the music and not the words makes it more of a cover than using the words but not the music. The words aren't the defining feature of a song; the music is. "Stroll On" is "The Train Kept a-Rollin'". Period. The Yardbirds (Keith Relf, really) changed the lyrics when director Michelangelo Antonioni wanted them to do "Train", but they didn't have time to secure the rights to use it in the movie.

@llZosoll and the key part riff of over the rainbow was another jam song he wrote way before that. hendrix always wrote a song that turned in to 3 other songs. most bands borrowed riffs and ideas not flat out stole a song 100% tho. zep was known for stealing peoples songs and calling it there own

I think my favorite song off of this show is "Killing Floor". It's incredible how long Zep plays songs before they put them on a record. The audience must have shit their pants when they saw such a powerful band in a venue that could hold less than a thousand people.

Not sure how anyone can compare Roberts vocals to Stevie's. both were stupendous in their own rights. It would be comparing Freddie King to Albert King. They just did things right, but in a different way.

Hi, definitely a Fender Telecaster (like he used with the Yardbirds); probably the same one he used as main guitar on the first Zep album + subsequently for some of the best and most iconic solos ever recorded in a studio; Still I've Been Loving You, Stairway to Heaven, Tea for One, although he had by then switched to mainly using Les Pauls in the studio and above all on stage.

The biography of LZ, "When Giants Walked the Earth" by Mick Wall goes over all of the stuff you all are talking about. Good book. They were the New Yardbirds, and the whisky a go go concerts were the first shows where Led Zeppelin appeared on the poster, even though they already called themselves by that name.

That book made me not like Zeppelin as much. They literally stole most of their good songs. Sure they put the LZ twist on them and made them kickass, but they didn't give credit.

@cottond44 Most of their good songs? That's bullshit. Plus they didn't steal. They did the same thing everybody was doing at that time. Besides everyone takes inspiration from others. Whether it's intentional or not. Music of Led Zeppelin is not considered so unique because they were stealing something but because they were extremely inventive. End of story. Why don't all the bands heavily inspired by Zepp pay credits to them? Because it's bullshit.

@ThePunkjaz Oh really? And how many times were they sued and lost? Plus if you "steal" from one poor black bluesman you basicly steal from all the others too. The fact is Zeppelin was a really succesful band. Some say they are the greatest band of all time. They were heavily inspired by blues music. But every musician takes his ideas from those before him. There's not a single note 100% original. You cannot own the music. YOU CAN ONLY MAKE IT LOOK TO BE YOURS.

Look at some of the beattles, stones, the yardbirds, even jimi hendrix, and the doors' first releases. full of covers,
ledzeppelin750 11 months ago
@ledzeppelin750 Thats what a lot of people don't seem to grasp. COVERING a song is not the same as sticking on your name as the author, registering it with YOUR publishing house, and depriving the real author from his publishing royalties. That is theft, morally and legally. The Beatles The Stones and Hendrix didn't do that. Page has made a career of it.
