ARE THEY SERIOUS!! 🔥🔥 LED ZEPPELIN - ACHILLES LAST STAND LIVE @ KNEBWORTH *1979* REACTION 

Dude, you have gone head first into some of the best rock songs of all time. Much more to go. Your passion and enjoyment relight the spark in us old boys who jammed on this when it came out!~!

Honestly, this could possibly be the greatest song ever written-and it never hit the airwaves. Probably because it’s 10 minutes long.

Can you just hear John Bonham on those drums. He's a beast!!!

🔥 Jimmy Page 🔥 John Bonham 🔥 Robert Plant 🔥 John Paul Jones 🔥

Bonham is on fire! The whole band is firing on all cylinders but good lord, Bonham was so bad-ass!

Very complex arrangement with multiple layered guitars made this virtually impossible for four guys to pull off live, yet somehow they managed to..

This is just bloody UNBELIEVABLE!! At the absolute top of their game.

Over 500,000 people altogether attended this two night show! They hadn’t been on stage together in 2 years bc Robert lost his son. John Bonham talked RP into going back to the band and…THIS! If you notice, Bonham barely had to look at his drums, there was something magical between him and his drums. Mind you this was at the end of a 3-4 hour concert and he is this powerful-NO ONE will ever even touch Bonham! Jimmy was channeling something special here too! Even through his addiction he was a master musician-a genius guitar god! Still is to this day. Led Zeppelin Forever 🤘🏻

Bonzo beats those drums like they owe him money. When I listen to Led Zeppelin so do my neighbors. Love your reactions Pop. God Bless

Trying to remember 1979?!!. I was 22 ,I'd moved on from the old Gard, thought they were Dinosaurs! I was into the new wave of music, Talking Heads etc. But Iv'e come full circle in the Last couple of years!! At the age of sixty four Iv'e come to realise what an amazing band Zep were, and I'm absolutely loving them!! Forgive me Father for I have Sinned!!..

"Those drums sound like a machine gun!!" Great description, my man. Great description!!

Unreal to see and hear this again. ❤ Bonzo in beast mode, Plant is nailing it, Page acting like the guitar God he is and ever present smooth and cool JPJ.👍🏽 G.O.A.T. 👏🏽 Love this!! ❤😁❤😁❤😁❤😁 Your energy is 🔥!

masters of the universe...pure fire

Jimmy would reference his “army of guitars” in the studio, where he could layer 2 or 3 or more guitar tracks on top of each other. I believe the studio version of this song has 6 or 7 guitar overdubs! To attempt to play it live, with one guitar, is brave to say the least… but Jimmy Page is an army of one… and he makes the impossible happen.

I didn't get get a notification for this one. So glad I came across it. This is an unbelievable performance!!

The original studio version features layer upon layer of guitars overdubbed - it's pretty amazing how Jimmy is able to distill all of that down into one essential guitar part for the live version...

Never thought they would play this song live, EXCELLENT!!! just shows you Led Zepp is unbelievable!

Bonzo at his pinnacle!! RIP 🙏💙

at face value, robert plant is 50% of the band its only once you really listen to them that you realize each member is an equal 25%

John Paul Jones...the unsung HERO !!!!

Bonzo live just kills it he sounds like a M16 through the whole song the whole band is just phenomenal number one band of all time

The lyrics were inspired by a trip Jimmy and Robert took to India and the title was inspired by Robert's car accident. He broke his ankle and elbow and was in a wheelchair for a while and uncertain if he'd be able to walk unassisted again. The connection is to mythological Achilles because Achilles had only one weakness; the heel of his foot and an injury there could kill him. The bass line on this song inspired Heart's song Barracuda and I think the machine gun-like sound of the drums inspired Metallica's song One. Out of what I consider Zep's 3 "epic" songs (Stairway and Kashmir are the other 2), this is my favorite.

Now THAT is what REAL musicians look like!!

I think we Zeppelin fans should start our own country😂😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is crazy live , the pace is even more ferocious than the studio version.. These guys are just masters...

Ladies and gentlemen, this what a TRUE FAN looks like!! Just got here brother and I'm enjoying the shit out of watching you. YOU ROCK! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Did you do No Quarter live MSG 1973 concert?

I was there 4th August 1979 Knebworth Uk 🇬🇧 just a brilliant gig 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

“ It is not hard to see why drummer John Bonham was irreplaceable when he died one year later.”

Masterpiece ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️ This is the song I have anyone that doesn’t know their music listen to first followed by “Since I’ve been loving you” 🔥🔥 That is Mr. John Henry “Bonzo” Bonham on drums ♥️🔥♥️ The best there ever was RIP 💔

Even in the throws of addiction, Jimmy still shredds

Super Drummer saves the world !! You hav'nt any time to breathe during 8 mn !! Unbelievable I was at this show in August 1979 among 250 00 people coming from all Europe. Great. All french tickets sold in a few hours this year... 40 years later it's still burning me. RIP John-bonzo you are on a other planet

Page at this point had one hell of a heroin addiction. Look at his shirt and hair, he's Sweetin like crazy, more than even Bonham on the drums. I have this Dvd and Page changes his shirt 3 times during show . Towards end of this song just look at how wet his shirt is on the shoulders and the front. Thank god he got clean.

I came across your RU-vid searching reactions. I love your enthusiasm and energy. Keep reacting to older music. It is quite amazing. It could take you the rest of your life to experience it all. Blessings on your musical journey.

Unstoppable tsunami, runaway locamotive, F-5 tornado, massive avalanche of music from the very best to do it...they pulverize the audience into submission with their prodigious talent .

Do Led Zeppelin - Kashmir Knebworth '79

Excellent reaction! You really get it my friend. You are 100% authentic. I've been into Zep since their start and have played guitar for over 50 years. You feel it when the mind blowing parts happen. That can't be faked. One of the most powerful songs ever! Such a pleasure to see such joy and passion. We are all brothers and sisters together. Music helps so much!

I just say BOW DOWN to the great LZ! One of my absolute faves. Everybody outstanding but Jimmy Page on guitar and John Bonham on drums, oh lord my ears have been blessed

Always the best- both Zep and you, Pope. When you like something- it shows- good on you, man,

I was so glad I got to see this in my late teens, and so very sad it was one of the last performances before we lost Bonzo

Led Zeppelin, the truly greatest hard rock, blues rock, folk rock, heavy metal band of all time! It awesome to see you react the way I did when I first heard them in the 70s. Can you imagine getting bombarded with them, Yes, Pink Floyd and all the rest at the same time?

I’ve said it before just remember there are only 3 instruments being played . Utterly astonishing

Do yourself a favor and listen to the isolated drum track for this song. His footwork is amazing.

Jimmy Page is one of the best guitarist of all time.

John was such a shredder on the drums

I love your reaction! This is one of the best songs by Led Zeppelin. Their live performances are insanely great.

I was there in '79, incredible experience I cherish to this day.

I liked it so much, I had to watch it twice. You and Detrucci are tied for the best reaction to this song. Awesome

That is one of the best songs they wrote. It's so difficult, so many changes and so different phrase -> phrase / section -> section. Listen to In The Evening, Trampled Underfoot (3/3/75 or 5/24/75) - nasty.. his name is the baddest man on the planet - James Patrick "Jimmy" Page. You know the James Bond guitar parts - that's Jimmy Page.. his fingers have large elongated joints so he can stretch and move like no other guitarist, ever until Edward Van Halen, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck (taught Page his 1st chords).. Page was booked as a studio musician at 16 by Decca Recordings in 1960. He was a stud by 1965-ish on.. elite. He & Bonham's on stage chemistry has never even been rivaled. Best there is

THAT... was the worst beginning (VRBO commercial) to a song EVER. Good Luck, POP.

Mesmerising performance only 3 instruments ? Wow Bonham drumming unquestionably the greatest ever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💖

Imo the best Led Zeppelin song there is. I want to suggest to you Focus - Hocus Pocus. and specifically the live tv performance. They were told they only had 4,5 minutes to play, instead of the full 6 minutes so they played it a way faster. It features crazy drumriffs, whistling, yodeling, jazz scatting, ...

I was at 1 of the 6 sold out shows at Madison Square Garden during their legendary 1977 tour. No, it wasn't the night they recorded their "live" material. "Achilles Last Stand" was the highlight for me during their entire set. Zeppelin that evening were powerful, majestic, awe inspiring and at the top of their game. Unforgettable. However, 21 nights later, I saw a band in concert that were even better "live" than the mighty Led Zeppelin. South Phillys Spectrum, June 28th, Pink Floyd during their "In the Flesh" tour promoting the "Animals" album. Perfection rarely seen or heard, then or now.

Sound and swag like a boss? Nah - like THE BOSS! STILL Over 50 years later! It aint ever getting any better than this iconic immortal band. I was just looking at my top 25 list and really Zep owns 10 of them and yes this is one of those 10.

Love your reactions man. Thanks for introducing your generation to the music of my generation. I hope they get it, the same way that you do.

With all due respect to Jimi Hendrix, Page past him decades ago, The 3 that came closest to his virtuoso skills are dead, RIP Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Prince. No one left alive has a chance of besting him - except maybe 1 ...... I've seen God only knows how many good cover bands including Jason and Jimmy Sakora. Heart of course This kid though is special. Andrie Cerbu I call him Mozart with a guitar ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_r3asKw_ghw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f29psjbjtlc.html He covers everything - usually killing original guitarist ru-vid.comlYFVEIT2Tbs These are from when he was 11 in Talent Contest ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dBUaDomMfxs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XBoMJNAKKHg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-po6nPssaaO4.html This kid has a chance of catching Page

The man on the bass is the one everyone overlooks. He can play any instrument and arranged all their music.

They are the modern day “Mozart’s of our time!

God how did I miss this reaction!!

Careful man, you're a beginner with led Zeppelin. You can easily hurt yourself! 🤣👍🏻

This is awesome!

Yes, Nebworth. The K is silent. Yeah! You want a good workout, try playing that on drums!! And, this is faster than what they did on the studio version!

Dear Black People, There is more music than Migos and DaBaby and lil Doodoo and lil dada and the shit you listen to, good lordYou guys are fucking hilarious

interesting and amazing choice of song

I believe this was recorded during Jimmy Page's heroin addiction, and he looked like he was on something.

I’m 63 I have heard of every hard rock group you could imagine there is nobody with the body of work of Led Zeppelin There before there TIME!! any other band is generic..!!

One of my all time favourite tracks from one of my favourite bands. I tried to copy Bonzo back in the day bloody impossible 😂 one of the best ever

Good lord,young man , another respectful reaction, you're the guy to watch 👍🏾🔥💎🇬🇧

Just can't help head bangin' when it's good rock music. Love the way you are into it!

Many said Jimmy lost it by the mid 70s because of heroin abuse but was stomp9in the shit out of that Sunburst Les Paul Gibson in 1979 ...

You got to remember the studio version has 3 and sometimes 4 ovetlapping guitar parts.they said jimmy would never play it live

Watching this makes me feel 30 years younger (27)!!!! Don’t do the math!!

Too get too the Heaviest or the softest Chanel or path too music no matter the genre (: You have too go through Led zeppelin too truly get there (: It's usually the best and only way too truly reach it (: There that incompusung of the musical universe Period (:

The Mighty Zeppelin, another badass song is No Quarter it's a whole other trip.

Who dis Led Zeppelin be. This Ain’t be no Da Baby, Black people

Man, they are hitting on all cylinders here. Hi-octane jet fuel. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Total calories burned on this tune - 14,564.

It's true - even a 'bad' Zeppelin song is 1000 times better than some bands' best work.

I WAS AT THAT CONCERT !! think what state I was in !!🤪🤪🤪

I was at this gig , friggin' awesome , anyone else there? They had Chas n Dave on the same bill , anyone not heard of Chas n Dave they were awful , really strange to put them on with Zeppelin .

YOU CRAZY MAN - but I like it.

I had the same reaction hearing first time running my fingers thru my Farrah hair curls in 1977(?)

Best band ever and such a diverse catalogue to get into. Great reaction to an awesome performance! Unforgettable. I was one of the fortunate ones there to see it.

The real star was the drummer. Incredible endurance.

John Bonham was not of this world - this is easily one of their top five songs, but doesn't get the proper love cause it was on a later album

The wet, blue, blousey-ness of the man! Jimmy Page!

Have you ever seen another band with such chemistry on stage? Nope!!

You feel what we felt back in the day.

Mate love your reaction they are the best band ever, so complex and varied in their style and groove love it!!

Best BAND..EVER!!!

bro please react to when the levee breaks

Subbed... because I want to enjoy your ride, too. 🎼🎵🎶🎸

John Bohnam GREATEST DRUMMER EVER

You can barely see him but in the background somewhere there's a man in a white suit with a guitar that's their bassist Jon Paul Jones 🙂

Pope, you are one cool dude my brother. I love how you appreciate the song and the band.

I'm amazed you like the led. It's astounding seeing you rock just like I would bro!!! You're a party animal from the eighties deep down inside. It's derived from the epic poem about the battle of Troy.

GREATEST ROCK GROUP EVER

I love this guys reactions! Gets me fired up too!!!!

Check out Whole Lotta Love' from Madison Sq. Garden for another good mindf*CK!
