This is the first concert we took our 15 year old son to, every other kid was into rap at the time. He took up guitar and is a total rocker to this day 20 years later.
Holy crap am I jealous of your son...Got to see Jimmy Page play his guitar with a violin bow from that trippped the hell out part of The Song Remains the Same. Thats a big one of the bucket list.

A lot of comments on here about Jimmy's playing. Not only could he write songs, he played with attitude and had a variety of styles which is more than 99% of guitarists can say. Sloppy? It's a matter of perspective, who wants to listen to those guys who just play scales fast and flawlessly? No thanks. Page is the best guitarist in history - my opinion - shut up if you don't like it.
This is easily the best Jimmy played since about 1973. I think he was ticked off that some guitarists and fans thought he was all washed up. Man he plays with soul here. He rocks!
agreed, after zep his skills went south for a long time (for many reasons) on this tour he got much of his talent back and hasn't played as well since. Anyone that saw Zep in the 70's should count themselves lucky as there will never be anything like that again.
Any purist along with myself that his version of SLOPPY was accepted. . he was filthy on guitar, which is also know as SLOPPY. and that's a great thing, so take that idiot!
I agree. Granted Page isn't as technically proficient as the Malmsteens of the world, but I always thought that was probably due to wanting to focus on songwriting rather than technical ability. What good is being technically flawless if no one wants to listen to what you're playing?
Yea he played his ass off with PnP! He wasn't a Bonham copycat which is what alot of people expected, and probably wanted to some extent, but instead he was a whole different animal. A hell of a drummer in his own right doing a great job of filling some impossible to fill shoes! He never got the credit he deserves in my opinion. If he is mentioned its usually just to compare him to John Bonham which is about as unfair as it gets. I always thought he was awesome and brought alot of energy as well, Page is at his best when being pushed and pulled around by a great drummer!
Michael Lee played some amazing up tempo drumming. However drummers who play with these 2 fellas Page and Plant tend NOT to have long life spans unfortunately. RIP John and Michael.
57:57 (Most High) is the best post Zeppelin jam -- this is what I feel zep would have sounded like had Bonham not passed and the band continued on. It's got that legendary zeppelin hypnotic feel, What a monster jam!!
I saw Page and Plant in Philadelphia.1997&1998 two of the best shows I've ever seen . And I have seen all the bands from late sixties and seventies p!us just about everybody else to present They were two of the best artists ever!!!
That is a true statement. He is really shot out of a cannon as the show begins. The small problem is he's busier than Bonham, and when your bandmates are Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, given a choice, sometimes it's okay to play it straight rather than fill up any nanosecond that's empty. For example, good things tended to happen in the brief time that Buddy Miles played with Hendrix, as opposed to the busier Mitch Mitchell. That comment aside, I'm loving all these Page/Plant videos from the mid-90s resurfacing, and, given that Page and Plant are middle aged on those tours, having a powerhouse drummer to provide extra energy isn't all bad, either.
Hi. I had a small music shop. I used to sell cassettes. I'm 53 now. They were the most important famous people I met in my life. They were so normal, sincere and gentlemen. No complimants or anything. We talked for about 20-25 minutes and drank tea with Robert.After the concert was finished I tried to learn where do they would stay in.Next day I waited by the hotel.When Robert went out I kissed him and hugged him. He Asked me about the previous day's concert performance.I said time passed so fast like a dream. I said I came about 1000 km from my town to İstanbul for the concert he said please drive carrefully. I took LZ 3 LP and they signed the LP's.While I was waiting for Jimmy, he was shopping at a peddler who sold cheap imitation watches near the hotel street. I talked to him for 5-6 minutes. He was also gentleman, sincere like a normal person. I loved them more because they are the most important band of history (according to me) and so normal people like a teacher or friends. Sorry for my poor english. LZ is the most honorable band of history because when Bonzo died, they finished Led Zeppelin in the most popular period. They could find another drummer but they didn't choose this way because some things are more important than money. I am proud of myself to meet these priceless people I met.Thank god for creating Led Zeppelin and Ahmet Ertegün (the Turkih Manager who discovered them) Hope they will live long and happily I wrote this in about 30-40 minutes. Bye.
Please no need to apologize for your English! It's great and it's your 2nd language be proud of yourself and keep moving forward using it as much as you can, it's the best way to get better at it, but I'm already impressed with what I see here! I wish I could kiss your hand and huge you like you got to huge Robert and Jimmy! What a honor and a chance of a life time, I'm so jealous of your opportunity! I've noticed in my many yrs of being a fan, that they are much more approachable these days than before when they were young. The older they got the more they appreciated us fans and that we never meant to hurt them or take their privacy away, only to thank them on how much their music truly meant to us! Even though I'm a straight man and been this way for my whole life i still love Robert and think he is still the sexist man a live! You are so lucky meeting them both, I can't get over that fact! Thanks for sharing your fantastic story!
I'm glad for your nice words.You've made me happy.I'm 61 and go on own shop in my shop İN Turkey Adana and still enjoy LZ. Today began the day listening in my time of... I wish I could write longer and more.I must work.İt's very good to hear a friend's heart beats.Thank you my friend like Orson Well'said. I know what is it to be young... @@BradHorning-gi6zj
All energy, no subtlety. That's why I can't stand him. No swing or groove either. Plus that fucking marching drum snare. He ought to have been banished for such a bad choice.
@@andrewgraeme8429 I'm happy for you. Great no. Amazing how people want to put Lee as one of the greats. Bonzo WAS great. Mike was just as I said above. All energy, no subtlety. Nowhere near one of the greats. Sorry kids.
@@zoso1980 youve got great ears if you can single out that snare on RU-vid audio probably played through a phone. Not disagreeing w you but I never noticed
This is a great concert sure Plant can’t hit the high high notes anymore but he is outstanding has a great voice. And Page was pretty much Page Brilliant player and if anyone says these guys can’t play anymore they don’t understand much.Michael was so good on the drums didn’t hit as hard as Bonzo but really who could but he sounded great.
Ken Neuroth What happened to him and how old was he❓ If you listen he plays kinda like JB, meaning he ""plays in beat with Jimmy"" like JB did. Idk anyone else that did that
A much higher quality copy of this show has been around for a long time now but something about the lo-fi visuals of this VHS rip are just very cozy and nostalgic
1.26.44. Michael Lee.You were the one of the best drummers of the world.I've chat with you in İstanbul tour in 1998.And you all signed my album LZ3.rip.
I need an IV of this. Could listen to this 24/7. The power and magic between Page and Plant brings to us true Zep fans, continual, deeply felt climatic highs and lows that resonate every cell in our minds and bodies. The majestic beauty these two (and Led Zep) were blessed so much to a point as a foursome, I can't imagine any other band could ever achieve the innate talents that the four Led Zep achieved, and rock out, and collapsed into bliss, every stadium they ever stepped foot on. Awesome job by Michael Lee! Nice job by Philip Andrews too.
So you say Jimmy was sloppy in the early days? You need to listen to How Many More Times from 2 different concerts from 1970. The first is 1-9-70 on Zeppelin DVD, the other is 3-7-70 Montreaux, Switzerland bootleg. 🇨🇭 This guy smokes all of you & all Percy's 🎸 players, too. LedHed Steven
I was honoured to play with Page and Plant in Egyptian Pharaohs Band the show starts with the great and lovely song of Um Kolthom and music writer Riyd Elsonbaty
All this talk of a “sloppy” Page during an obviously brilliant performance is just silly. Yes he was sloppy in the mid to late 70s as drugs took its toll. While still capable of brilliance he was far too inconsistent. Never the most technical even at his best but the man is an absolute ferocious player. Hands down. He’s great. Period. Stop.
I was at that Indy show, amazing night. I would have seen Zep in 1977 at Pittsburgh but that concert was canceled after Plant's son sadly died. Would have seen Zep in Cincy in 1980 but sadly Bonzo died. Never did see Zep.
@@Zoetropeificationsaw Zeppelin in Cincinnati April 77 for free Birthday Gift from my Buddy whom no longer is with us ,They played consecutive nights and Were Awsome
Saw this show at Wembley Arena absolutely kickin, just like it would've been, baack in the day.Timeless,one of the best gigs I've ever been at,and believe me I've been at many.The best Jimmy's played since the early 70s and Robert was on fire. Unforgettable night,kudos guys ☘
I saw this concert in Oklahoma city in 98. Was able to take my 17 yr old son. No it didn't sound exactly like Zeppelin but it sounded great! They seemed like they where having fun and we dug the performance!
this is from the "riding into Clarksdale" period, one of my favorite albums. they do a great job on the Zep covers too, but that album will always hold a special place for me. doesn't matter to me whether page in his later years can still shred like he used do. his riffs go along ways, and its his composing ability as a whole that I like best.
THE GENIUS IS PAGE HE LEARNED THE GUITAR AS WELL AS ANYONE HE FOUND A MANAGER THAT HAD HIS BACK THEY FOUND PLANT PLANT KNEW A GOOD THING WHEN HE SAW IT…THE GENIUS IS PAGE
25:47 - from this monent I've understood... that many things were ruined in my life, many sides of life don't touch me now, like before, in my youth... But this is still touching. When Plant have appeared in several seconds, I've felt this exactly.
... the concert was in cologne Germany (Köln)... I was there... still remeber the intro as it was today... and the rain... ... I coud feel it... magic ain t it?
The intro is from a song of the legend Um Kalthoum of Egypt .. the song called the Sacred Trilogy composed by the great musician Riyadh Al Sonbaty .. the whole thing and to see Led Zeppelin my favorite band ever using it as the intro just makes me so proud to be Egyptian
great performances by page and plant page playing is the best since 1973 page haters lie because they can't accept it well listen to something else proof is in the pudding over playing and tasteless shredding may be good but as Steve vai said sometimes i t's like diarrhea and some guitarist have the runs bad
WOW!! IT DONT GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS OMG,,, PAGE IS EXPLOSIVE ON THE BABE IM GONNA LEAVE YOU SOLO, and roberts voice was as good as ever , i saw this show in Birmingham Ala, and it was Identical to this show I think it was days apart, wow there was Tears running Down My eyes the whole Time,,
Who fkn cares if they had to lower they key for Plant ?? Page and Plant are still better that almost all of the other TRASH that is claiming to make music today. Go back and look at the top 40 listings TRASH. And Im tired of all the plagarism crap. They took music and the made it better, they made songs that are eternal. And after they burned thru 9 albums in 10 years they were done. They were really done after the death of Keric. After that is was mainly closure, even Plant has said this on numerous occasions. Plant went on to explore different musical venues, and was magnificent at that. What all the choads miss is that when they were Led Zeppelin they were mystical, monumental unsurmountable Rock Gods.
Yeah man!! I'm from Canada and I was doing some backpacking across Europe for about 6 years. The UK and Ireland was my last set of countries and then going back to Canada in November 98'. I was just leaving Dublin, but wait!! I noticed a poster showing Led Zeppelin. I had to go!! I believe I purchased the tickets at the HMV Record Store. I remember arriving there really early just so I can be at the front and YES! There I was, first row man!! It was freakin' AMAZING!! PROBABLY THE BEST CONCERT EVER!! I HONESTLY THINK THIS CONCERT IS AT THE POINT, IN DUBLIN, IRELAND. ISN'T IT???
Wow what a effing awesome show! I saw the epic show they did in 95' at the Gorge, it was so surreal for me and so lucky to be there! Now this show was maybe just a little better? Only for the fact of the songs they choose, hearing Jimmy play Heartbreaker was over the top and showed just how damn good his still was then! The O2 show was great and let them go out on a high note for sure! Im so glad they hooked up for these few years to prove to the world why they were the mighty Zeppelin Machine who still had it! Although tacky they didnt give Joney the call to come and play but understand too that the bass player is Roberts son in-law, so what do you do? Plus we dont have a clue to the real truth to what happened! I know one thing, they aced this show and able to watch it anytime! Thank you so much for posting this bit of history! No matter how old i make it to ill aiways be able to recognize and enjoy the mighty Zeppelin! Unfortunately alzheimers runs in my family and i can only hope that if i get it like dad had it ill be able to use Zeppelin to bring me to the surface of reality and just hearing any Zeppelin will be that key to open my conscience to give me the perhaps only joy i will still get to a point! The last couple of yrs dad couldnt communicate only stare into the blank world he lived in. Truly sad for such a wonderful giving and loving father, husband and grandpa the last thing mom and dad deserved was to live those last yrs so out of touch useless to do anything for himself! Lets hope they make some advantances in making the quality of life worth living within the next 10 - 15 yrs before i get to that age that when he first got it! Fingers crossed and doing everything i can to keep challenging my mind, im a artist and inventor with more hobbies than ill ever get a chance to master, i set myself up with on purpose tons of things to do so i just dont sit on my ass watching tv cuz the rest of my body is in grest shape! Many victoms of Alzheimers in their later stages will "temporarally wake up" from there mental jail cell when stimulated with music and art. Im also going to try to find some victim group to give my assistance to others that are lost already, just to see if i can find anything that keeps it at bay. I want to be proactive and anything i can do to help the next person that gets it better off than the other person! If anybody tgat reads this has anything on this miserable and evil life stealer please reach out to me! Ive retired at 62 just so i dont short myself of any good time i have left to live with my mind in a good place! Thank you! Zeppelin forever!
Saw them on this tour with my mom I was 18 zeppelin has been my favorite band for a long time they are truly the best band of all time I wish John Paul jones and bonzo would have been with them
I saw them at The Reading Festival that year and it was a near religious experience and the crowd just exploded.Shame the Led Zep tour never happened after Celebration Day. I saw Robert Plant last month at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire,England and he was still superb live! Very sad to hear about Michael Lee though and he was a brilliant drummer...R.I.P.
page was as good as hendrix, anyway , and when hendrix died ,well page did not have to be so damn explosive, . no more. as anyone one can see if you watch page royal albert hall,,youll see a different side that its no nonsense,, but hendrix died , and page did not have to play at that calibur no more , cause he was partying all the time with drugs and alcohal,,,,still the best by far,,
Agreed about more than money's worth. Saw this tour and it's in my top-3 all-time best concerts ever (ranking only behind the two times I saw Roger Waters perform The Wall Live). As good as this is, I don't think these videos on youtube do justice to how amazing these shows were.

Before all you haters make even larger jackholes of yourselves, drop in to Danmarks 1969, turn on (up) the volume, and tune out that negative energy in order to behold the ABSOLUTE GENIUS of Master Page!!!
page is great, but you can hear that without the over tracking, dubbing the sounds are nothing like their album's, I've seen then live a couple of times in their early years, and without John Paul Jones, "Jonese" they're not even close to that Led Zep Bass line we're used too.....
