Led Zeppelin - The Wanton Song - Practice Rehearsal Soundcheck Tape KILLER! 

50 years!

Lmao IT’S SO TRUE!!!!!!

Sal Puma I so agree 😄

AlexLordAlcyone too acurate man

He sure did!

@@AlexAlcyone Very Simple.... He Listened.

Truth

Absofreakinglutely!

Ughhhh forgot my aux cable!

nah 2

Greatest album ever.

Yes, my fav Zep album for sure!

Don't pretend there isn't one. We all know all the, how shall I say this? How about - less than ethical behavior of the band and management but on one level or another we don't care. It's too good.

amen

Leonie C what sorts of excesses?

@@josephs5587 ;)_writing great music over and over and over excessively

Lucca Soares father of hard rock 🤘🏿

☺💖💎🏆🎯🔥

yeah, as a kind of music theory nerd and mediocre to sometimes pretty decent player myself i was listening to the actual chords the guitar is playing in the bridge and it's like what the fuck are those? they sound almost ridiculous without the bass and drums lol. they just pushed actual rock music (imho) to its limits like I think you're saying, making it actually progressive rock not progressive pop as in the pop genre, not popular music. ok that probably made no sense but yeah ,good stuff.

well said, very !!!

Not really. Page isn't the most technical of players and the influences are more modal jazz than prog rock. Even the Allman Brothers were doing more complex stuff at the same time, you guys are just confusing thick Thad Jones-esque jazz extensions for upper level theory.

Not to say that LZ isn't fucking awesome and this song isn't great. I am listening to it, after all!

Steely Dan, Yes, Genesis, and a bunch of other bands we're playing more harmonically complex stuff at the time. Zepp is still in my top 5 bands for sure, btw.

No other song before after with these dense funk jazz chords in the bridge.. wonder if he was inspired by Stevie Wonder or somebody and lifted re arranged them from something he heard.

He got them from Jonesy

Spot on.

One of the coolest bridges/transitions/Pageisms(??what do ya call it?) in Rock history. Jees no wonder I listened to these MFs.

Lmao he just used Secondary Leading Tone Chords and a Minor 7th chord.

Maximus Tull yes, the soundtrack of my best days

Yes

Heard in TSRTS Dazed and confused.

My god yes. That is my top down driving 109 mph jan

I liked them quite a lot less after the first 4 albums. Fair enough you don't and, indeed, the funk inflections are superbly done. I just prefer the supercharged modern blues of 1-4. Best wishes, Gary

There is no 3/4 anywhere in this recording. You have no idea what you're talking about. Please stop. Source: a music degree.

I think they'd tell you it was still rock and roll. They just evolved as a band.

gary morgan me as well..!! Not to say that this album doesn’t kick butt..!! Just different from the blues charged rock..

@@garymorgan3314 Plenty of us love 1-4 and this album. I'll take Physical Graffiti #1, but those others aren't far behind.

Lee Radmall Bonzo was the best. Not talent wise maybe...but the catalog speaks for itself.

Not talent wise? I think you meant something else.

Andy Leibrook no i didnt. Talent meaning technical playing ability. He wasnt the best technical drummer ever. But he was the best drummer ever. He and Ringo sit in a class by themselves. Played by feel and didnt just srive technical beats at you. They played to the song and were the best at doing it.

Bonham had better technical ability and chops than all his peers in rock. Combined. It took Neil Peart to push the technicality of rock drumming past Bonham.

Greg Lake is very underrated...

I see what you did there...

No communication breakdown, that's for sure

The proof of the sausage is in the pudding.

@@banjopink4409 Sausage pudding. Don't give anyone any ideas.

No doubt in my mind with everything you say friend!!

Yes!

He was really developing as a guitarist, as this snippet proves, and it was all snatched away by the "Monkey on his back." Drugs really pounded him down hard, and he never quite recovered. It's sort of sad that between Plant's loss of range, and Page's loss of his ... brain, they turned into an Elvis act after this. No disrespect to Plant who gave it his all, and of course JPJ continuing to get better and better. And Bonham was just Bonham all the time.

My only pleasant "ear worm" and I have been living with it for almost 40 years.

Physical Graffiti has always been my favorite for that reason. Love Bonhams counting here😊

He knows how to mix naturally

[

I wish Steven Tyler would shut the fuck up too...

What about ed sheeran an craig david uugghhhh

@@davidmatthews3780 Ed Sheeran is one of the rare ones

I really don't think it's just a generational thing; when I hear what kids listen to today I just shake my head in disbelief...

Taylor who?!…..

I think so!! most greatest band. I like this record than official recording.

A lot of their stuff wasn’t extremely difficult tho.

@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020true but they are correct that basically no other band can play zeppelin and make it sound correct

@@argentsilver928 lol sometimes even Led Zeppelin couldn’t play it correctly 😂

I was there... not for the soundcheck, but for the show. Life-changer.

I read in "Hammer of the Gods" that when the fookin' band stepped off the plane it was well below freezing and that is why Robert caught the flu.He was wearing a flimsy shirt,so there you go.

Led Zeppelin - уже классика современной музыки, - номер 1 ! Их МУЗЫКИ уготована ВЕЧНОСТЬ. , с именами МУЗЫКАНТОВ которые сочинили и исполнили эти Музыкальные ШЕДЕВРЫ современной музыки, которые переживут нашу цивилизацию ., и говорить ,что кто из группы остался не оценинным по достоинству - Глупо. Все участники группы ВПЕЧАТЛЯЮТ и БЕЗУПРЕЧНЫ.

Oh please. He gets ALL the credit he deserves. Such a silly statement. The man is a recognized genius.

@@shivapejman8155 He's talking about producing. Everyone knows about his guitar abilities. He didn't have a George Martin around. Very few rock gods produced their own albums. Page is one of the greatest producers as well.

In a world filled with arrogant musicians, it seems everyone agrees the members of Zeppelin were very nice people.

@@stickman1742 Yeah and they always wanted to just keep playing and play and playing in concert. When You went to see them, they always tried to give you your money's worth.

Just read the Black Crowes, Drummer’s memoir. Highly, highly recommended. Among other things, the Jimmy Page appearances offer interesting glimpses of the man and the musician.

@@watcynx Rich Robinson states that many of the Led Zeppelin songs were hard to learn. Nobody's Fault but mine and Ten Years Gone were a couple examples. I don't think Page played any Jazz for them. But I seen him playing Jazz Standards, and then he immediately made me promise not to tell anyone about it. He sounded like Larry Carlton. Can you even imagine that? A Page and Carlton show? He could've done it, but he wouldn't have because he felt like it would've tarnished his rock image. LMAO

@@guitarttimman So you're friends with Jimmy Page? Well, you didn't say "friends" but......yeah. You can maybe see how that's a little hard to believe. Or maybe you work in a studio or something? I'm gonna have to ring him to find out the truth!😉

starting to think the same, thinking some of these in circulation are from HG when they were recording PG or Shepards studio for TSRTS

Not sure Terry but Bonham really pushes the sound.

And their I was being "Mobbed Up" getting my tickets for 2 show..😁

P M Yeah, right! You were one of the survivors on the Hindenburg, right?

Peter Yianilos yeah... I made it all up... cause any one really cares... lmfao... other than you... take a hike ya pimple...

ps. i saw EVERY group you wish you could have... the same way... Deuced my way in...

Hoboken? Oooooh I’m dying! BB

😅😅😅😅😅

Page had a bit of a resurgence in the late 90's. Not in terms of creativity and not as fluid as his prime, but played much better than he had in 25 years.

They played it live for a few shows in 1975

I know I have heard a live version on RU-vid

When I saw Page/Plant in 1998 this track opened the show, it was amazing!

It's live on U tube now

@@Baza1964 Yep.. just follow the channel "Led Zeppelin Rarities".. it's there..

My first concert ever was that tour. I'm with you man. Saw them in Philly April 4, 1995 and the second leg in Philly late October. Michael Lee was the only drummer that really fit with them since Bonzo passed (My opinion). Not a big Jason Bonham fan myself. Michael Lee passed a while back and I think Page went to the Funeral.

Fender Man Michael Lee I remember sounding good with The Cult..before this and later to replace Bill Ward.

Michael Lee always had a smile on his face playing with those guys , who wouldn't. Saw em in Buffalo NY '95.

1998 Page/Plant opened with 'The Wanton Song' in Zürich/Switzerland. I haven't recovered yet, I expected something along 'Unledded' lines and what I got was one of the best shows EVER!

Anthony Duchnick Ditto in Dublin on the same tour. 3 rows from the front. ML was tremendous. God rest him.

Physical graffiti rehearsals. There's about 90 minutes out there iirc

No such thing, as Bonham would be quick to point out.

Yes

The perfect band all extremely talented at their craft

Plant said without Bonzo we would have been a crap band.

this either didnt happen or u got lucky af peter grant didnt beat the life out of u

@@zjah1 if you seen my earlier posts, then you'd know that I stated that JP provided me with a pass. I did meet Grant. We became friends.

@@zjah1 Peter actually couldn't have took me back then because I was a very vicious karate expert, but we were cool

@@guitarttimman thats fire

@@zjah1 If you could investigate it, then listen to this one: At around 1979, John Kay, the lead singer of the band Steppenwolf, a legendary band, seen me at his show at the WHITING THEATER which is located in Whiting, Indiana. He walked right off of the stage, came up to me, and shook my hand. He actually did remember me from a party where he, Jimmy Page, and a bunch of girls were there. lol. I was living with my girlfriend at the time, Tina Ross, and she was around 7 months pregnant with our son. She looked like she was about ready to have our baby. Tina seen me shaking hands with John and her mouth dropped open and she said, "wow! You know HIM?" Like that! And then she gave me a huge smooch and called me a hero! LMAO. That was the 70's. I don't know if there's a way to retrieve that information, but Steppenwolf did perform at that tiny little Whiting, Indiana Theater which I thought was really strange because they were a very well known big named band. ha ha. If you could meet John Kay, he'd tell you who I am. It's funny. I tried to meet Ozzy, but he was actually one of the tougher ones to get near. Jimmy Page is very friendly and he welcomed it when fans talked to him.

rob miskell Music is rehearsed long before, and long after, its release. All the time.

Dont want that day to come...EVER!

Quite possible, Steve Howe was fantastic.

Sky De La Rosa Yes but is he leading or dragging...? 😈

And stick to it

I’m with you there pal

Um, every single one from before 1975

Exactly. They get ridiculously attacked as a cover band because they borrowed some old blues lyrics. They created more original rock music than any other rock band by far, especially Page.

True. The only distortion is from a plexi cranked just enough. Raw, energetic, organic....which describes the chemistry of the whole band.

Peter would of beat up RU-vid founders long before me lol.

Why are you a Grant apologist? You sound like a 4th grader. "My manager can beat up your manager."

No fenderman, you would end up like the dude selling posters in the "Song Remains the Same" film.

lol i thought i wrote this comment at first

bluestate69 Hahahaha! THAT dude...
