They didn't need pyrotechnics or any fancy stage setups, just them and their music, my brother went to this concert and he was talking to this girl, a year later he married her, they are still married
@kevinmcguire7675 - When The Song Remains the Same movie came out, that stage looked awfully cramped. Did they enlarge the stage at one point? Looks as if the band had way more stage space.
I saw them 6/7/77 at MSG.If memory serves, no floor monitors were used.Everthing was elevated, giving more stage space. They were awful. Stoned and spaced out Page stunk up the joint.
I was at that show; still have the ticket stub. Had to pay the unbelievable scalpers price for the tickets though - $25 a piece! If I recall, I had to close one eye just to see double before the show even started. Those were the days! 😊
One of the best live performances of Kashmir! I love Jimmy's jump in the middle bridge section and the bow he did at the end of the bridge before jumping back into the main riff of the song.
Wow… what a beautiful blast from the past. The thing I like most about audience perspective videos is that you get to see the whole scene on stage and therefore watch the band’s simultaneous interactions. Very stellar!
MSG, All six nights in LA, Pontiac Silverdome and the first three songs of the Tampa riot show was their very best of that tour. Other than that poor Pagey was a sloppy train wreck because of yes his hard drug abuse.
There’s multiple tapes of the 1977 tour . For badge holders only was in la that’s a good bootleg cd I have … the ones in Maryland called the supreme destroyer .
i was there taking photos with my flash in the second row center on the floor. alot of the flashes during your film are because of me. i remember these show like they were yesterday.
He was all over the place in 77, guitar playing too. Maybe that’s why his playing suffered in 77 😂. There’s another NYC video floating around, several actually, and he’s even more active there
The entire Song Remains the Same from’73 he’s all over the place in it too. ‘75 is when he seemed to remain relatively stationary. But was back to moving in ‘77
saw Firm in Atlanta...Jimmy was whacked out of his head. I was sooo disappointed. Freshman in college at the time...missed organic chemistry and physics for him to have eaten too many stumble biscuits
WOW this is great! Although I was not lucky enough to see them over the years I have heard mixed reviews of this 77 tour. Based on this though, they sounded pretty good, wow ! It was also interesting seeing JP Jones singing Sandy Denny's part on Battle of Evermore! Great clip...any more..??
Saw this tour on 5/28/77 at the Capital Centre in Largo, MD, just outside DC. There were some highs, some super highs and some lows. But being a veteran of 300+ major concerts in my time, it was still easily one of the best. When I hear or read about an older Zep fan claiming "pretty great, but not at all as mind blowing as on their earlier tours (especially their very early tours)," my mind boggles at the thought.
Yet AGAIN Jimmy’s strap had issues during Song Remains! This happened also during the BadgeHolders concert on 23.6.77! This is why there’s no flowing segue into The Rover in that show.
Yeah I noticed that. Jimmy put his right foot on the drum riser and Raymond Thomas came out of the dark to help put it back in place without the band having to stop during the song remains the same and soldiered on.
@@dylanwatson1287 I’ve got a couple of Ace straps and although reissues, they’re made just like the vintage ones. The leather ends are very thin and the button holes widen out pretty regularly.
The person who recorded it likely did not have a 7' reel, which would have been about a half hours worth of footage. They may have had a 4' reel which is about 5 minutes worth of footage and they probably wanted to get as much as possible of the show on that reel. It might seem kind of odd, but it was fairly common back then for tapers to want to capture as much as possible of the show with what they had, even if the songs were incomplete. On top of that it was much riskier back then to sneak equipment in as it was way bulkier than all the devices we have today, the risk of getting caught and kicked out was bigger. Some would record for a bit and then go low key before security spotted them.
@@kuanyin9192 i was a black and white and color photographer at three of these six summer shows. it was much easier for me to capture their show. as you state shooting 8mm film was much riskier at these shows.
I saw Led Zeppelin on the 1977 tour (Birmingham, AL , Boutwell Auditorium), approximately a month before this NYC concert. It was easy to tell even at the time that the band was on a downward trajectory in their career. Some of the enthusiasm had dissipated, some of the mystique was gone.
Jimmy JPJ * Bonham tried to play the songs almost how the album went, sorry but Plants lacked in the department imo. Often flat * lack lusture & lacked emhesis & correct pronunciation, almost like he wasnt very into it. I love zeppelin, they were the best but just calling it how I see it,.
