Four musicians at the top of their game, at the very same time...Led Zeppelin will never be replicated!! Im so greatful I walked this earth at the same time they did!!🎵🎸🎶🎸💜
A bit of trivia for you...the sweater that Jimmy Page is wearing was knitted by his mum for his birthday present and this concert was in fact on Jimmy's birthday, 9 January.
Led Zeppelin was like an all-star team. The best vocalist, best guitar player, best drummer and the best Bass/Keyboard player. Add that with great music and lyrics, they just kicked ass in the 70's!!!
he is the best,as a not so hardcore rock listener,i get bored of hendrix and the other so called great's stuff,i listen to zeppelin and his guitar play draws non rock fans to listen to his music,that's what the greatest can do,have non fans of the genre become admirers
As one rock writer commented about Led Zeppelin at their primal best "elemental, ferocious, overwhelming - and that's not even considering their beauteous acoustic side"...
Otis Rush sang it, but Willie Dixon wrote it. Willie also wrote "You Need Love" for Muddy Waters (which Zep turned into "Whole Lotta Love". And Willie co-wrote "You shook me" for Muddy (real name McKinley Morganfield of Rolling Fork, Mississippi) which Zep also decibelised and rockified for our delectation. I just want Willie Dixon to get a little of the love too. Peace from Canada, be safe, Harri.
Great English hard rock band from the late 60's-80's. "Stairway To Heaven" is their most famous song but they have a huge library of hits such as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed & Confused", "Communication Breakdown", "Ramble On", "Whole Lotta Love", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog", "Rock & Roll", "The Ocean", "Over the Hills & Far Away", "The Rain Song", "Trampled Under Foot", "Kashmir" etc.
Harri I have to start bringing you requests from the Physical Graffiti album. A lot of people will say Led Zeppelin IV is their best, but I think Physical Graffiti is imo!
If you want to experience the very best recorded Led Zeppelin performance ever, my favorite is their epic 1973 Madison Square Garden version of DAZED AND CONFUSED. You need to set a chunk of time aside and watch the entire 28 minutes uninterrupted. It was filmed for their concert move, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, which has a ton of great performances and moments, but DAZED AND CONFUSED is transcendent. It will blow your damn mind.
Royal Albert Hall, I view this as the concert in which the band was starting to realize they were going to be big (they were driven by U.S success, and wanted approval back in England). This after the release of their second album where Whole Lotta Love received heavy radio play and they seem to find more of their chemistry together on stage, the interactions between one another more fluid.
Your comment was right on the money! I heard an interview with Page years ago where he said people hear it and think the timing is wrong on this song, but it's right! Essentially what you said.
I just loved when Zeppelin covered those old Delta Blues tunes! When the Levee Breaks is by far my favorite! But the Blind Willie cover "Nobody's fault but mine" pretty amazing too! They covered a total of 12 old blues classics, and did them justice without a doubt. I think Robert Johnson possessed Jimmy during this performance, oh my DAMN! This was fun to watch live, thanks Harri this was special!
Am inspired to say something possibly strange to some: It seems to me, having lived through the 60s til now, that a very large group of angels were delicately dropped to earth, all over the globe, with love in their hearts and music as a means of reaching us. All size, shapes, colors, all fresh and inspired to gift us with magic of fabulous music! We have been so blessed!! And here we are, blessed to experience all this magic again, with you, Harri. You receive each song with enthusiasm, positivity, good humor and a high level of appreciation!😊❤️
Kudos to Harri for another great reaction, and to Uncle Phil for another great request!! Wish I had seen the GOATs, but I only began going to concerts in '78 (ELO was my 1st), and Zep disbanded two short years later.
I can't believe that you said you had just reacted to Otis Rush!!! I am totally going to watch that as soon as I leaver here... Otis Rush is one of my all time favorite artists of any genre... I was lucky enough to see him perform two nights in a row, at a small venue in NYC, in the mid 90's. I just had said out loud to myself, "I wonder if anyone in the comments mentioned Otis Rush"... swear to God!!!! Love your channel!!💙💜💙
WOW...they are so young here. It's simply amazing. Look at the drum kit man, with all due respect to Keith Moon and Neil Peart, you really don't need a 25 drum piece kit LOL :)
No Quarter, The Rain Song, Song Remains The Same at MSG are as great as anything at the Albert Hall or on HTWWW. Robert might not have been the same singer but Page was actually at his peak. Bonhams Moby Dick is superior at MSG, even though AH is still fantastic. MSG is not "bogus" at all. Silly of you to say it is.
Listen to those drums, man! These 4 were just excellent, but Mr. Bohnam? Holly, crap! Otherworldly! One of my life’s few regrets is not seeing Zeppelin live.
Labeling Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple hard rock bands is seriously insulting the musicianship and versatility of these bands. It’s been the reason why I have neglected both bands most of my life. Having worked at a record shop, both bands were always in the hard rock section and they shouldn’t have. I was not interested in hard rock in those days and am still not really fond of hard rock in general, but these bands people, these bands are on another level. This is more blues than rock and Zep did so many more songs that were more than just rock songs. Thanks for sharing Harri.
This kills me...................... After 20 minutes of the epic "How Many More Times / Rosie / The Hunter / proto Lemon Song", Robert apologizes to the audience !!! ("....I couldn't make it that time.....") because he felt he cut a high note short. Yes, the best concert on film !!
They were the best to do it and this stage of their career they were at the top of their game. How Many More Times from the same concert is equal to this. It just shows how untouchable they were.
Zep was great of course, but man, is there any music or song that you don't like? Wish I had the ability to love everything I hear...and at first time hearing it no less. 😉
The sell-out, sir Jim paige need to cut his guitar solos in half..way 2long...Although the BBC on this Albert Hall performance is zeppelin at their best...sir rob,vocals diminishes every year..By the late 70's he seemed old...
