Jimmy Page snd The Black Crowes - (16/23) In the Light.mpg 

The most undervalued album from them, in my opinion. Like yeah it has Kashmir, but every song on there is completely mind-blowing.

Stuck on a island physical graffiti exile on main st highway to hell covered my all my bases

Amen !!!

100%

Glad you love it so much. There are some amazing songs on P.G.

beefcakepantiehoes Makes my skin crawl in a good way but I love it!!

man you are so correct, this makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and march. Led Zeppelin was the rock machine, no one compares. the GODS OF ROCK by far, who can really compare, honestly.

Probably the best rock guitar arranger ever. A true genius.

You said it all right there. And still have it be hard core

JPJ was the secret weapon of Led Zep.

Much easier when you have seven blokes on stage vs. just four.

@@tedwojtasik8781 Modern Tech helps. All the synth parts are laid down before hand. Sound backing tracks are used by everyone now.

Bonzosbadgeholder Robert wanted to but John Paul Jones couldnt get the synthesizer to sound right outside the studio

Good call! Nice slow burn to get Plant's already horse throat at least primed for later flight in the set🤙

this is the only cover of this GREAT tune. can u help, where is an origanal lz song? they really did a great job, in d light is really a cult by now. 1 of best, from 1 of the best. . this tune is just..well..genious.

Yes!

Very little now days will ever evoke the emotion and grandeur that this song does! Few songs can take you to another plane of existence like in the light.

I ll bet uh? It's like WTF!

Jimmy? Hash? I don't believe it! Haha That must have been awesome. I'd love to sit down with him.

Which one?? They’re all hot licks

Saw the P & P show in 1998 at Great Woods (MA), one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and the only time I've seen them in person (Zep only played CT in 1969 & 1970, when I was only 14, 15 years old). Jimmy was absolutely on fire that night (everybody knew it) and Robert hitting the high notes. Loudest ovations I've ever heard for that size venue in 50+ years of concert-going. 🎸🎤

Stiller Diggrich Eddie Harsch ,sadly no longer with us . I could listen to him all day and night.

@@grantshenton7079 Didn't know that.

The intro with its "call to prayer" thanks to Jonesy really sets you up for the internal journey of this song

Lol, not perfect? How so? No live performance is "perfect", perfection is only attainable in a studio. It's weird you'd say "not perfect". Where's your perfect live version?

Charles, i think i was referring more to the sound quality of the video not the actual performance itself. I had some breaks on the feed. I think perfect was the wrong word for my original post. I think Rick Beato says that "perfection is the greatest enemy of goodness" and i tend to agree. I love the authentic live performances.

@@jeffreybass3318 haha, was just giving you a hard time. Yea I agree with you about the sound quality.

@@charlesbowers1749 Lead singer Chris Robinson doesn't quite reach the highest notes on the outro, but as you say, perfection isn't attainable - or perhaps not even desirable - in a live setting, and since LZ never played In the light live this is pretty much as good as it gets. For personal reasons this happens to be the LZ song closest to my heart, and to actually hear it done live is truly heart warming. Didn't even know this existed until today.

I agree. JP Jones is a great multi-instrumentalist, but he couldn't do it all at the same time.

I love housefull all those layered guitar sound. I'm sort of a guitarist myself and I think in the live recordings I hear page compromising and playing parts of different guitar parts on a single thread. It's like he was trying to capture the best of all the parts.

Kevin Keyes..........You are correct. I saw the original Led Zeppelin 3 times throughout the 70's and then Page & Plant during their "Unledded" tour in the early mid 90's in Orlando Florida. Page always did infuse "parts of the various guitar parts" during their live performances, that were done as overdubs in the studio. At times, he really pulled it off, and other times, it sounded a little thin. Either way, it's a damned hard thing to do live, as Zep tunes are not that easy to perform AND make it sound right anyway. I know, because I'm a "retired" highly seasoned guitarist/blues harp/singer/performer/perfectionist, and covered most of the Zep catalog over a period of decades. Try SINGING it and playing those guitar parts at the same time on stage. I sure as hell did it.......and I did it a lot. I don't think I ever witnessed ANY other person pull off Plant's voice and Page's guitar playing at the same time, on stage, like I did. They were the masters for sure. I truly feel sorry for the younger generations being raised on rap & hip hop. They are totally CLUELESS......when it comes to REAL MUSIC.

I agree 1000% ! Sounds so good to hear all the guitars parts live , and just sounds massive in comparison to Zep playing live with 3 pieces.

kennundrum you’re spot on jimmy page played at least two different riffs per song, multiple guitars etc.

No way, Great White by a million miles.

Rockmaster But this one doesn’t kill their fans.

@@boataxe4605 ......Lord have Mercy !

Deep cut!

They played a version live that had many structural similarities but under a different song name.

Live synths weren't very practical in the 70s, especially with multilayered sounds like this.

These were all single note runs on a MiniMoog in this song. If Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman could dazzle at this time, there really was no real excuse on Jones part. He had no trouble with Kashmir live.

I know, out of tune and distracting.

what's up with those bees?

Yea that shit ruins it a bit for me.

Hes trying to pull off that disonant note but i believe its supposed to be an open ringing note at the end of the verse riff right? Bit distracting yeah but points for trying it. I think if you just did the main riff without something buzzing away in the background itd be off the other way.

Indeed. The Zeppeligion. Best band ever, periode!

❤

Yeah they did

Live performances[edit] "In the Light" was never played live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1] According to Jones, Robert Plant was emphatic about wanting to play the song onstage, but because Jones could not reproduce the synthesizer sound properly outside of the studio, he vetoed the idea.[citation needed] Legacy[edit] In an interview he gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's "finest moments".[2] Similarly, Page has stated that this is his personal favourite track on Physical Graffiti.[1] He performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. Although not included on their original album Live at the Greek, a version of "In the Light" can be found as a bonus track on the Japanese version of this album, released in 2000.

they didn't even attempt it on celebration day

Yeah, Pink Floyd could do stuff on synths, why not LZ!?

nuts45150 yes how selfish of them🙄🙄🙄🙄
