I'm in my late 60s now. My hair is turned gray, some days my knees seem like they've turned on me too. But when I start feeling sorry for my old self I remember that I saw Led Zeppelin live four times. The first time I saw them I was in the second row. They really were that good, it really was that life-changing. 50+ years later, I hear some live recording they did and I'm transported. I'm 15 and dancing in the aisle with my friends.
NOPE... for this live, you need to see it! Period!!! The sound is Jimmy using a German sonic Theremin. It's too much fun! The vocal and instrumental "play" between Robert and Jimmy with the vocals and Theremin is TOOOOO much fun. You HAVE to see it with your eyes... it's special!!!🙃😜
Robert can be heard mimicking the theremin that Jimmy is using. JPJ is awesome, he and Bonzo are keeping the song together. They throw a whole lot of stuff in there. Live is so improvised. Love that y’all have joined the rest of us Led Heads. 🤟🏻♥️
Actually you guys do need to watch them live, they are amazing to watch live. Each version of a song is different, yet they flow perfect, the improvisation is always amazing. Love watching your reaction videos.
Actually, most of Zeppelin's live songs sound very different from the studio version, because their studio stuff is produced so creatively, with multi-tracks and lush tones. So Jimmy had to come up with single-guitar arrangement for live. This song is one that is like the studio version on steroids... 🤙👍😎
They were soooooo good as to be unbelievable. So chaotic but tight. Soft, hard, fast, slow, loud, quiet, structured but loose and all while improvising the "eff" out of a song but never getting lost
In person Tampa Stadium on the field 50 yd line my 21st birthday. One of those memories that stay in your mind crystal clear. You have to watch their MSG concert
La/Che Thank you so much for taking the Zeppelin journey on one of the greatest live albums of all time. I appreciate your honesty and expertise on music. Like I have said before you are the best in the business. Black Pumas, Black Pumas, 🤣
Such a great live performance (and one I'm very familiar with) as always from Zeppelin. You cracked me up with Page and Plant grappling with each other and Page giving the low blows and you're just not going to beat him to paraphrase. Truth. 😎
Not a huge Zeppelin fan having only 2 albums (LZ3 & Houses of the Holy) but I recognize that I needed them on my musical journey. 💜💜💜 Going thru your LZ playlist to see if I feel differently 50+ yrs on.
You should watch the whole movie even if u don't react to it. It's straight amazing. Used to go to the midnight movies on the weekends and watch them in the early 80,s. Seen this over thousandtimes by now. The best that ever did it!
This performance is my favorite live from them. I used to go in the early 80s to see the song remains the same. 2 years straight every Friday night. That was our jam😂 That's Robert mimicking the guitar. His vocals are fire. Watch this performance live from MSG in 1973. Great reaction as usual guys and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
The WLL medley was phenomenal. They often threw in bits of other songs like "Boogie Chillun" or referenced other artists like Elvis in this. The whole band saw Elvis in concert and got to meet him. Jimmy and Robert were especially huge fans; Robert used to try to copy his mannerisms as a child, plus he'd employ some of Elvis' vocal techniques sometimes in his singing. Jimmy was a huge fan of Elvis' guitar player, Scotty Moore and would listen to Elvis records repeatedly to be able to pick apart the guitar pieces.
Great reaction, guys. Because you mentioned not usually liking live music without seeing it, there's also a live concert movie by the same name. Unfortunately, you have to sift through a lot of visuals not related to the concert that are kind of fantasy stuff that hasn't aged all that well, but it's mostly concert footage with a little bit of backstage stuff.
Zep considered this an average performance as they were exhausted, due to it being the last date of a long tour. I can only imagine what it was like when they weren't tired😮.
If you ever manage to listen to the only soundboard recording of them from Hamburg 1973 you're gonna be blown away. Especially "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love"
Do you guys intend to react to the other live albums How The West Was Won and BBC Sessions? I consider these two even better than The Song Remains the Same.
This whole album is also a movie, and is worth seeing Page using the Theramin or using a violin bow and shredding it in Dazed & Confused. Here is a clip from Whole Lotta Love that shows the theramin. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KPhXm-UPfEU.htmlsi=0FVvN32mSKgeqjwu
Live at MSG Since I’ve Been Loving You. The May 25,1975 live version of In My Time Of Dying, is killer. Live at Knebworth 1979 Achilles Last Stand, & Kashmir. You have to see those performances. Studio of Achilles Last Stand, Jimmy did 12 guitar overdubs, yet live its perfection, & so tight.
Great reaction guys! "The Song Remains The Same. In Concert And Beyond" The West coast premiere of the movie was on October, 21, 1976 in Los Angeles California on my 12th birthday. I first saw the movie at the UA Cinema theatre in Riverside CA. in the early 80's at a midnight showing. Rock on!
Wow, I have a whole of catching up to do. The whole past week of reactions. But this is a great one to start with. Speaking of George Clinton . How about some Maggot Brain. I can definitely get to that😂. Excellent reaction, fellas !😊❤👏🙏
Yeah live recordings are rarely as good as studio but I think a lot of that comes down to production, mixing in post-production and of course how well the original soundboard capture and mics were set up. Back in the late 60's and early 70's there are just some amazing examples of live albums that rival or even exceed the studio albums but there are a a lot more so-so ones that make you want to run back to the studio original.
Around 10 to 12 minutes in, or so, I clearly heard Page playing some Alvin Lee of Ten Years After guitar work. Find Alvin Lee playing “I’m Going Home,” on their 1973 “Recorded Live” album, and you will hear what Jimmy Page was playing. Just so you know, Page was in awe of Lee’s speed and precision on the guitar, so it’s not surprising that Page might include that sound in their final encore. Thanks for playing this.
