I’m planning a bunch more Zeppelin after the response on this one 😊

Agree best rock band ever

@@nancypilcher5948 and they did everything over the span of 12 years.

@@rwesleyslaven AND only 4 guys, only 1 guy on guitar!

I’ve at times argued that he’s the most talented member of that band

It’s tough for it to shine through when they’ve had so many bangers

I envy you.

yes they did! Robert often giving love to his idol during their songs, "shake it one time for elvis."

Is that one from this same concert??

@Wesley Slaven Nay. Led Zeppelin only played "Since I've Been Loving You" three times in 1975 and that was on their US Tour. They did not play "Since I've Been Loving You" at Earls Court, which is where the live pro shot video which you reviewed was from. William is talking about Since I've Been Loving You from late July 1973 at MSG, which is where Led Zeppelin recorded three shows - three nights in a row. That film was finally released in Oct 1976 and is entitled "The Song Remains the Same."

@@rwesleyslaven William is talking about this version. Check it out - maybe it could be your next LZ reaction. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z814n8V52cq6fIk.html

Added!

He’s the glue man. May not get the credit but their songs wouldn’t be nearly as recognizable without his parts on mandolin or organ or even the bass

It seems like the mix on the record is drum heavy but the mix here is focused on Jimmy. No wrong answer here 🤷😂

Man I need to brush up my Zeppelin history

@@rwesleyslaven dude great reaction, I can tell you know a lot about music history. You’re spot on about the Dany guitars.

Yes and he quit in the 80s to his credit

@@juliemanarin4127 that's honestly remarkable. Heroin is rough to get off of

Thanks for watching! I was mostly correct, the one I had was actually a silver tone, same style

Yeah I haven’t seen any live vids with the exception of the ones I’ve done so far. I’m stoked to see them

Thanks for the sub! It’s one of my favorite expressions

There is no way that’s true lol

Wonder where I could get one

​@@rwesleyslavenBruce dickenson bought this actual dragon suite at auction.

Somebody has to. Why not me? lol

Either this or Since I’ve been loving you

That is what I’ve been told. They’re actually pretty solid

They covered a few old folk songs and some old blues as well. Travelin Riverside is one of my favorite songs they’ve done

… yeah might have been 😂

It definitely isn’t impossible but it also isn’t practical. There’s movement when you play a guitar standing up. I think that shot was focused on the guitar staying still and everything else moving, an illusion of sorts

You got it!

The optimal live band

@@rwesleyslaven absolutely

Apparently late 75 is when he got on it, so I was off a few months. But yeah that gig is perfection.

@@rwesleyslaven ok right thx

Never listened to any of them 🥴

Not sure. He apparently (according to comments) wasn't on drugs here, so hard to say.

Nesho - Jimmy Page wasn't on heavy drugs at this time. It started for Jimmy - possibly in late 1975 or early 1976. It was probably brought on by Robert Plant's Aug 4th, 1975 car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes. It almost killed Robert's wife, Maureen, who suffered a bad skull fracture when their rental car went off a road into a ditch. Robert shattered his ankle badly and was told by the doctors he may not walk again. Their two kids were in the car, Carmen and Karac, and shaken up badly. There's mixed info about whether, Jimmy's daughter, Scarlett, was with them or not. Robert's wife almost died and band tour manager, Richard Cole and band manager, Peter Grant had to arrange for Maureen Plant to be flown out of Greece to save her life. Led Zeppelin's future was in doubt for a time. They had to cancel an upcoming late summer tour of the US and I believe there were some tentative dates for a tour of Europe in the fall. They were going to play huge stadiums in the US for around 8 or so shows. I believe two shows at Oakland-Alameda County Stadium were already sold out - when they had to cancel the tour. I believe this uncertainty, canceled tour and Robert's accident took Jimmy to a very dark place and probably brought on the onset of the heavier drug use - of heroin. Robert ended up recoding the LZ album Presence sitting in a wheelchair. Achilles' Last Stand -- the title is a reference to Robert [being a God and his only weak spot was his ankle, as he had broken it]. It was tongue in cheek, even though, I believe that while LZ was touring in the 1970s -- they definitely had so much confidence in what they were doing, how they displayed it on stage and how great their records sounded -- not to mention outselling The Who, Elvis, The Stones, etc - in album sales and concerts --- they probably believed themselves to be Gods - maybe not Jones, but certainly the other three. (Maybe Jones too). The song "Hots on For Nowhere" is about Robert being pissed about being stuck in Munich and recording, while not seeing his family for so long - he was pissed at Page and even Peter Grant - for booking the recoding sessions. It was in Munich, in very late fall, cold, in a dank basement, Plant couldn't move about freely, as he was stuck in a wheelchair. I'm pretty sure he felt hopeless and Leos do not like to feel dependent on people, nor like to feel or look weak in front of people. I think it was noted somewhere that Plant even felt claustrophobic at times. This is the quickest that they recorded an album since their 1st album. I believe it took them 17 days in total to record, but to Plant it felt like forever, bc he was pretty much immobile and it's clear from his lyrics in "Tea for One" how he he was feeling. I believe those lyrics sums it up for Plant and those words are pretty reflective on his time "trapped" in Munich. It seems like it felt like an eternity to Plant, but it was only 17 or days for him there. I believe all of LZ met up in LA to rehearse in Oct 1975 for Presence. They recorded in Nov/Dec of 1975.

Wow I didn’t know that! Was it similar to the one Axl rose had??

@@rwesleyslaven I don't know what axle had. Nobody really knows what wrecked Roberts voice. It was pretty sudden and he didn't look after it. Absolutely smashed it every night. Most plausible thing iv heard is he got a bad cold 1 day and sang anyway thus damaging his vocal chords. He had surgery after the 73 America tour for nodules. They pretty much had 1974 off to give Robert time to heal. In 75 he could barely talk never-mind sing!! S8nce then he's been getting better at using what he has left and even 70% Robert plant is still better than nearly anybody else anyway lol

@Wesley Slaven Robert had nodes removed from his vocal chords in 1973 at some point. There wasn't a lot of focus on resting vocal chords etc back then. He mentions in a 1988 interview that "I had surgery about 15 years ago on my vocal chords." You can hear his voice is raspy and changed on the 8 new songs recorded for Physical Graffiti, but it still sounds great to me. He had a rough go at the beginning of their 1975 US Tour as well. He started it out w the flu, but he made it through the tour pretty well.

@Wesley Slaven They recorded thus 8 new songs for PG in January/Feb 1974. It was probably too early for Robert to be singing, but he did it anyways.

Didn’t mean it as a cheap shot so much as a compliment. I couldn’t play this sober 😂

Yeah he apparently didn’t get addicted until shortly after

He wasn’t during this concert but he had a very well publicized addiction that he eventually kicked.

Not that I’m aware

It’s the price we pay for the content. It’s also why I link the original on every video to watch without my commentary

Lay off the drugs. They're frying your brain

He had a very public and well known heroin addiction…

I’ll keep that in mind for the next one!

Thank you I could not for the life of me remember. It actually sounds decent, especially for slide guitar

The whole point of this video is to comment on it… I link the original to watch without interrupting lol

We’ve improved the flow of things, based on feedback. It’s gotten better ☺️

That’s a cold take. Elaborate a little?

@@rwesleyslaven several of their songs were stolen? Should be quite easy for you to discover yourself. It's pretty common knowledge if you are over 50. One of my all time favorite albums is houses of the holy. I'd probably put in my top 25. I don't understand what the cold take is. If telling the truth is a cold take then I don't know what to say except what I already have, research it for "yourself" don't let someone else do it for you.

@@richarddevine205 it’s a cold take because they’re universally considered one of the greatest bands of all time and one of seven artists or groups to surpass 250 million records sold lol it’s not an arguable point that they aren’t great.

@@rwesleyslaven you're entitled to have your opinion. I prefer original artists not thieves. But it is still a fact that several of 'their greatest hits" were stolen from other songs. If you are OK with that it's all good. It's just not my cup of tea when you start talking greatest that originally is a 'great' piece of that. All they had to do is state that they used another artists music but they wouldn't, got sued and LOST. Lol.

​@@richarddevine205who in your mind is the greatest then? Let's hear it

Just watch the actual video lol why watch a reaction video and then complain about the reaction

Which is the best version?
