Led Zeppelin - "When The Levee Breaks" | 1995 Induction 

Robert is like "how do I make this guitar say babe?"

You know John Paul Jones is walking around thinking "I'm surprised I was even fucking invited."

This reminds me of a teenage garage band jamming along to a blues song they barely know. But they’re having fun all the same.

Holy Jesus. Took Thirty YEARS for me to learn that Page and Young performed a Zep song on stage live. Now I can just die in peace. I may go cry now. Beauty.

John Paul Jones keeping it together like: ROCK N ROLL GUYS I'LL BE JUST CALM HERE I GOT YOU ALL, NO WORRIES

when the tuner breaks zeppelin's still gonna play

The look and smile on Page’s face while plant was soloing was priceless.

You'd be going as wild as Neil too if this was your one shot to jam with Zeppelin.

Half of my rock heroes on stage together in a potpourri of chaos - Plant evidently with a throat infection and a redundant guitar, JPJ in a puffy shirt, Page pissing himself over Young's guitar solos, and Young not caring about anything except the reluctant steer he's apparently wrestling to the ground. Love it.

You cant imprison music in a box. It was wonderful they let Neil pour out his soul in honor of the great Zep. Nicely done.

SHOUT OUT for the wonderful drummer Michael Lee, a big part of Plant's solo bands RIP Mike

Such a struggle for every note for everyone... Page is exceptionally high, starts the song staggering abruptly before anyone else is ready... It's gold! Then Plant grabs a guitar and stares at it wondering what it is and what he is supposed to do with it... Like I said, pure gold!

I really like how Jimmy was just so content and happy to play rhythm so the kids could have fun

Jonesy just chillin at the back, letting the kids play...

that's how Jimmy is so confident with himself... he'll let you get the spotlight with your solos... and he'll even play second fiddle (rhythm guitar) to accompany you and raise you up so you may have your own moment on stage

Never seen this video before. Totally new take on When the Levee Breaks, grungy and nasty. I was aware that Plant knew how to hold a guitar, but I’ve never seen him do so publicly. Gotta save and watch this one some more. Love how Neil is in the moment and rockin in the free world with the world’s greatest band. What an awesome jam!

I saw this as some guys having a jam session and having fun. Some best times I've had was jamming with friends and all of us just cutting loose and not worrying about being precise. Good times.

Plant: "What the hell, I might as well pick up a guitar and start whaling too."

Neil's faces and Jimmy's smiles - awesome. And Plant's solo.

They are monsters!!!! There is no mega stage effects, super production...just the best cool guys from the all Rock ´nd Roll history!!! Led Zeppelin forever!

If it keeps on raining, the tuners gonna break If it keeps on raining, the tuners gonna break When the tuners break, we still go out and play

He gets a guitar, she gets a guitar, everybody gets a guitar!!!!!!!

I love this performance. They were celebrating. Performing for themselves.

I'm not surprised at all at how many people don't get it.

it took me 2 mins to realize the song was when the levee breaks lol

The greatness of this is that it shows in its simplicity a few of the things that made Led Zeppelin the best rock band ever. First, Page, Jones and Michael Lee lay down a powerful hypnotic groove, essential to Led Zeppelin. Page, being the consummate band leader, knows that he's got something special in the blues noise realm happening, so he just lays it down and doesn't lead the jam anywhere but where it needs to stay ... in the groove, with Jones embellishing. Plant, iconic front man that he was, sees an opportunity for some joyous madness, and, throwing all caution to the wind, grabs a guitar and goes for it. The result is an expression of exuberance, joy and a love for the stage and the company of his fellow musicians, and some Buffalo Springfield too. All this is made possible by Page, who has allowed Young and Plant plenty of room to be themselves, and the massive rhythm section sound of Jones and Michael Lee , an incredible drummer who, like John Bonham, died far too young for words. This jam was a monumental act of spontaneous skronk and joy!

Neil embodies the sheer joy of playing a monster loud electric guitar and Jimmy loves it. Pity all the fools who can't see that because they think Young doesn't have 'good technique'. He's a hurricane🤘

Plant: I don't normally play guitar, but I'm gonna show you how to do it, Neil. 😁

Really amazing how many people don't get it. A raw, powerful, impromptu jam session. Excellent.

I swear to god I’ve had that 2 chord riff stuck in my head all day

The more I watch Page..... The More RESPECT I have for the Great Innovator that He Is!!!!!!

Neil Young like the drunk uncle at a xmas party lol

Come on people! Don't take this performance too seriously. It was just for fun. Don't forget who these people are. They wrote anthems and played their hearts out to the whole world for many years and have nothing to prove to you or me. They are musical Gods and that will never change!

John Paul Jones always the coolest musicians in the rock and roll

The best part of that was Plant singing, "There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear..." The rhythm section was truly what held that together.

Now I know why John Paul Jones is actually one of the true musician in the Rock.

You haters don’t get it. These Guys, NY included started their careers listening to the old blues masters. Back then everything was a jam session

Why am I sitting here waiting for page to solo?

This is just awesome. 1st time seeing this. Wow!! So cool.

Powerful jam session! Seeing Plant on the guitar is a first for me! Awesome!

This was so good had to watch it twice! So ol' John Paul Jones was his total Mr Cool self, calming watching Neil and tryin not to crack a smile...awesome stuff, great version of when the levee breaks

All hail the kings!!! Nobody from years ago or now can even come close to Zeppelin. They were ahead of their time. They deserve to be in the R & R hall of fame! Congrats guys!!

Now that is how you drive a riff straight into the ground until your fingers bleed... they had me smiling from ear to ear for the whole song... how can you not love this!!

That was absolutely wild. I had to watch it twice

Neil's into it man... love it. They're just havin' fun haha. Neil's tone though, that 5E3 bout ready to explode tone. LOVE IT.

Neil is totally on fire, totally immersed in the rhythm. I love how led zeppelin just let him fly, that's what's they were all about- letting the music go where it needs to and forget posturing and ego. Incredible performance

"Something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear" Exactly.

This is fun...for them..for us rock listeners...improv at its best❤❤❤

A lot of talent in just one stage. An all star jam session.

Neil plays loudly, and he is very intense, that's what he does. If Jimmy didn't like this, he wouldn't have invited Neil. And the nod to Buffalo Springfield was pretty cool.

RIP Michael Lee - monster on drums!!

Crying won’t help ya, praying won’t do ya no good! I love that !

man that's the longest A chord

Unimportant what fools here talking I LOVE IT

Jonesie in the background keeping it all together. Golden!

That is the best performance of Led Zeppelin I ever have seen. Great 😅

I love this. I can tell the Guys were having a blast. It was awesome seeing Robert pull out the guitar and hitting a few licks...Jimmy's smile was priceless !! Thank you for posting R&RHF..Too cool !!

Neil... just have a snickers

I never tire watching Neil Young wrestling them notes out of his guitar! When Robert straps on a guitar and shoots Neil a conspiratorial, mischievous grin, egging Neil on into some righteous guitar weaving with Pagey and JPJ!

Raw as it gets, true punk and Plant on guitar! Truly wild man

Whatever flaws are apparent...they're having a great time 'rockin' in the free world' love it !

You fools do not understand Neil takes this song to another dimension. Just feel it! That is what rock is all about.

Looks like jimmy is playing his #1 1960 Les Paul - fun to see all his great vintage guitars used again and again over the years!

It’s another legendary song.❤

I know I'm in the minority, but I really love this. Page has no real idea what's going on, but JPJ does; he gets that there's a real connection between Plant and Young. It's why Plant picks up the guitar. To bleed into the noise Neil's creating. He's digging it. Plant's never liked dredging up stuff he'd done before. And this was new, this sound he was making with Neil. He ignores JP. It's all about Neil. That's why he spontaneously brings in the bit of FWIW; he really did feel like something was going on. Look at connection between them at 6:10; it's like Plant is calming a wild animal. Neil's eyes are locked on him, waiting the signal. The drama is just fantastic. To me, the whole things works; including when JPJ cranks the tempo at 6:30, and Neil gurns on that cyclic riff of his. They're clearly having a blast by this point, and it's great to see. So to me, this is real, live collaboration. And I love it.

also love how jimmy keeps trying to take a solo but Neil just keeps playing

It's not about impressing those on the floor, ok? This is what jam sessions look like...hours and hours....into the morning. I'm shaking my head at how many here making comments don't "get it" and...honestly,,, they never will.

That was awesome! I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, but I totally accept this as the jam it was. I agree that Jimmy was being charitable and letting Neil take the solo's. I wouldn't be surprised if it was discussed beforehand. Neil is one of the original punk guitarists and he ripped it up! Great fun!

Robert with guitar: How do I make this thing go babe?

The strongest performance is Jones, one of the most underated musicians.

Plant friggin pulled off epic guitar, Neil unbelievable, this is 5 iconic men having a great time showing off beyond fantastic talent

I have been a lifelong Zeppelin fan but this was one of the most painful things I've ever watched....

Sounds like guitar center on a Saturday....

Why didn't they play, "Rock and Roll" at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??!?

I absolutely love the laid back vibe of jamming during this hall of fame performance. That's so Led Zeppelin lol. I just love seeing Neil and Robert and Jimmy enjoying themselves with one another. Then Robert gives that nod to Buffalo Springfield with those lyrics..just all around fucking cool. Thanks for the post ✌🖤🤘

Jimi page and Neil Young! Outstanding! And Robert plant holding his own on guitar! Big fan of all three!

This totally made my day!

It does not matter how bad can be Plant or Page live at times, Jones always is amazing

JWC 1958 Really good Phenomenal performance with the great Neil Young rocking out with Zeppelin. One of the greatest rock bands of all time. Just mostly listened to the Zeppelin hits in the 70's. Now this 65 year old enjoys them and appreciates them a lot more on RU-vid and Classic rock radio stations.

To this day ,I still get chills from this ...

Les Paul, thanks for inventing this great powerful tool!

Neil Young looks like he is trying to start a chainsaw.

The best rock live in the 90's!

Neil is playing that guitar like it’s a ship he’s trying to steer through a stormy sea. Wtf I love it and it freaks me out

I cant take Robert seriously with that guitar.

Let me get this straight...you got Jimmy frickin Page on stage, and Neil Young and Robert Plant are playing the solos......?

They all look like they’re having the time of their lives. Sad that they could never stay back together. Incredible musicians in a league all their own

Love how Neil Young arr this song. It’s just pure raw rock.

I thought Neil was doing a sound check in the beginning, till I realized it was the intro to the "song" ...

Young is like some madman climbed out of the audience onto the stage

28 years later I am still impressed

2 of favorite heavy metal guitarists playing zeppelin together. Omg

Something happening here..What it is ain't exactly clear lol

Wow, that takes me back to the day ...of Live Aid.

OMG!! WHAT FUN!!!!

Brilliant!

watch niel its like he haven a fight with himself and the guitar awsume

l can see they are having a great time playing rock and roll

I just wish that I was there to see this live. Fantastic

They're all the coolest grandparents anyone can have.
