REACTION TO Led Zeppelin - No Quarter (LIVE at MSG 1973) 

1 of their very best performances, nobody could hang with them live

Even at 62, this song still gives me full body goosebumps. Genius never grows old.🥰🥰🥰

They are even better live....I don’t care what anyone says! Da GOATS!

The buildup before the guitar solo might be the coolest rythem section part I have heard. Just what Bonham and Jones can do with each other is amazing, let alone with Robert and Jimmy up front. Wow

This to me is one of the best guitar solos of all time, page was such an emotion guitar players ever and he was not afraid to experiment with the guitar sounds, best all around guitarist of all time, he could play any genre of music on the guitar and that's what sets him apart from all other guitarist during the '60s '70s and beyond.

The instrumental break in the middle is like the coolest, funky jazz 3 piece. So progressive. The tone Jimmy achieved on this is phenomenal.

The greatest live guitar solo of Mr. Page. It takes you on a journey with peaks and valleys. In a SOLO!! Also the Bonham drums play the most remarkable counterpoint to the solo. 4 Musical savants that were destined to produce the finest music of an era.

Led Zeppelin live is the Ultimate group to watch . No one comes close !!! No One !!!

Very sad seeing Robert's son, Karac, here, happy with his Dad. He passed away in 1977, from a stomach virus. Very sad

Led Zeppelin are the goats of all the goats!

I was at this. I still get chills every time I hear this performance and the smoke was one of the best parts as it fell off the stage like a waterfall while listening to this dream performance.

Their homes were in England. They never stayed in one place when they toured. The Robert Plant scene is on his farm on English/Welsh borders with his wife and children. The youngest child was his son, Karac, who died in 1977.

A guitar solo for the ages! Truly spectacular.

Want to see Jimmy shredding?? When you're ready..do a reaction to the 28 minute version of Dazed and Confused from this same MSG concert. It has very little video interruption. It's mostly all live footage of them totally jamming and improvising. You will then see why they are considered the GOAT's.. Most who see it say it is the greatest live performance they have ever seen. Stairway to Heaven from this same concert is another amazing performance and has an incredible Jimmy solo too.

It was just as popular. But we took the album as a whole. Each song on the album was woven into the whole texture. Definitely watch the whole movie too.

The song remains the same is their concert at MSG, with each member having a "dream" sequence. During this performance the whole Jonesy dream is shown, not bits and pieces like in this video. All I know is that all of my first husband's friends at the time, in the 80s, preferred this song from this album. I do too. My hubby, whom passed away at 33, used to cry at times listening to this. He said it had everything a song should have. Now when I hear it, it gives me the same effect, especially the guitar solo with the piano

The movie is about this 2 day concert in New York. Each member of the band had an expressional video of their personalities from what I gather from a song each. It shows them in concert and a bit of their personal lives and bits of pieces of what happened at the concert. I must of seen this movie 50 times 40 years ago at the movie hall where everyone was just smoking dope, something that just doesn't exist today.

As a musician myself, I caught it early. I was a teenager during this time, and I claimed Led Zeppelin to be my favorite band, and this was my favorite song.

The live version of this song is THE version of this song. No one could take the music to the outer limits Like Zeppelin

This song was a permanent part of their live set list from 1973-1977… it evolved and got longer to the point where in 1977 some nights it could be 40+ minutes long. This is still the definitive version however the O2 reunion version is also great. Most Zeppelin fans rank this as one of Page’s finest live solos… they way it builds and grows into an inferno. They lived in England until, like many other British artists, they became tax exiles… forced to either spend a large part of the year living abroad, or pay 80% of their earnings to the British government.

That is the best one from MSG...Yes Earls court has one and they did it in 2007 at Celebration Day!! They were in their 60s and were STILL the greatest ever!

Titanic performance and one of their most iconic tracks.

The "Song Remains the Same" is a movie documenting their world tour. It includes footage, a day in the life of Led Zeppelin, and fantasy storytelling. It's Led Zep man don't over think it.

To see Page at one of his finest moments wahch the Earls Court version, takes it to another level

So glad you did this, they always sound better live than studio for me. When I didn't see a video from yourself yesterday I knew you were sick. Glad you're feeling better!!

Sooooo amazing live!!! This was highly popular! They lived in England. I'm not sure there's the guitar version unless it is a bootleg! And that plane was the Led Zeppelin plane...yes they had their own plane!

before you keep moving along the studio discography, you should react to dazad and confused live from msg. just incredible

I saw this tour at MSG... I can only say that they were always innovating and reinventing rock and roll. There live performance is second to none... They are the greatest... And I say this having seen Pink Floyd a few times 😂

Good to see you are feeling better. They all live in England. To my knowledge none of them had a residence in America. Post Zeppelin Robert did live in USA for several years in Austin Texas. No Quarter did not get airplay like the other heavy hitters, however, among Zeppelin fans, it’s very popular. Any performance from Earls Court is recommended.

A movie reaction would be awsume. Throw a watch party where members could send you donations. The movie is a must see for any Zeppelin fan. It is a concert filmed in MSG over 2 days. Each member has their fantasy sequence. Robert's was The Rain Song, Jimmy's is ,Dazed and Confused. Jonesy No Quarter. And Bonzo Moby Dick a crazy 20 min. Drum solo. I have heard that the reason for the fantasy scene's where because some of the camera crew were so high the footage was not usable so they added fantasy screens into to production. Originally it was going to be a live concert movie. That it still is but with the scene's added. You really do need to see the entire movie it is amazing. Something every Zep head has seen hundreds of times. Well maybe not hundreds I lost count 25 years ago at 65 times and probably 4 times a year after that. You definitely need to watch this movie. Here's a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pDg721WdilM.html

My fav Led song ever.

You could watch their 2007 performance of No Quarter. It also kicks ass. You skimmed by it when looking at No Quarter options. It is the one where Page has grey hair.

Salvo the only guitar solo you would see in entirety is the Earls Court 1975 versions Bootleg May 24th or May 25th I prefer the 24th. Also there is a great version on the reunion Celebration Day dvd on YT. It's a much heavier sound with crushing tone.

Yes! Best song ever! This is my favorite song of theirs and although this isn’t my favorite performance ever of this song, it’s damn good. Every members talent is fully showcased in this song!

For my group of teens in high school at the time, No Quarter was right off the bat our favorite off that album and in concert, there was no doubt this was one of their best songs, ever.

The song isn’t about the guitar solo, it’s about the whole package of how masterful each musician is

At the time that LZ formed, they were all living in England.

Probably one of the most iconic studio engineers is Eddie Cramer, who worked with Andy John's on this album.Cramer also was Hendrix's engineer, and Is one of the best, if not the best. Cramer had the uncanny ability to translate what the musicians had in mind sonically for the listener. So SalvoG is doing the right thing by listening to the studio version first. But Zeppelin live is always a treat!

Saw Zep live 6 times. 3 times in NYC in 77, 9th row for last ever show in NYC. Best band ever assembled. This never gets old

I totally appreciate you brother. That is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time! I like the way you roll brother. Keep pushing. Until next time stay well

this was always everyone's favourite track in my circle of friends but then we didn't play tracks back then we played whole side's of albums

Glad you're feeling better enough to post. This song live from MSG was amazing, however, I wish you hadn't used this video link because this was Jonesy's fantasy sequence and, for whatever reason, the link doesn't show the full thing; instead, what you get are other clips from the movie cobbled together in a disjointed, hodge-podge way that makes no sense. I did warn you about that in your last post, but...

❤️🙌👏🤝 thank to you...no quarter, best mix ever 💪👊💓

The movie is really about nothing. It is literally concert footage of the MSG concerts. They added Short fantasy sequences into the movie, apparently because there were large gaps in video footage of the concerts. Each band member, as well as manager Peter Grant, had their own short fantasy sequence

they lived in the UK --- in the surroundings of London -- but the pictures of the movie were taken during their holidays in Wales. they only toured in the US but never lived there.

I would suggest you watch the 2007 version of this as well. Jimmy rocks an unreal solo in that one too and you see it all. You'll love it

I love the way jpj&bondam connected 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

TOOLS cover of NO QUARTER is MIND BLOWING. Check it out. Its off of the SALIVAL ALBUM!

You gotta remember back then... No internet, no cell phones so unless you were there for the show you could only dream We did have a few music mag's... Rolling Stone, Cream, Circus So, we could at least check out the concert photo's weeks or months after the fact... I think the fact that we weren't bombarded by them 24/7 really helped push then into Rock God status ! We cherished those photos and new albums and learned every inch (front/back) of the album, record sleeves & any extra info that came along with the album(s) Those were the days... Speakers the size of doors, beanbag chairs... lava, strobe and black lights for our black light posters & of course concert posters... Good times had by all I wish that I every teenager born after 1990... could experience a week back in the mid 1970's (Wow you youngsters missed out on so much)

This is their finest moment

I heard the studio versions of No Quarter and the Rain Song around 2001 in a late night bar in Tokyo Rappongi Japan and have been a fan since then. Led are all amazing musicians and probably one of the British rock/blues bands ever.

The guitar solo is primarily in the background during the fantasy sequence, which is too bad because it's one of Page's best overall solos.

The movie is a concert (2 from MSG in NYC) with bits of acted scenery interspersed with occult like, spooky, of viking like character scenes. Like each member of the group had their personality injected into the movie. It is dark, and mystical, adding to the magic of the group. People actually believed that the group sold their souls to Satan for this talent, and lots of occult fantasies surrounded them. Page had bought Alister Crowley's mansion in Northern England, and Robert had a house in Wales, (Jimmy had a cabin there too) John Paul Jones was a Londonite, and Bonzo was more a cerntral UK native.

It's SOOOO good. Thanks Salvo

Glad to hear you are feeling better! Regarding the concert film, The Song Remains the Same -- there's plenty of info online about this, but for a quick overview: The movie was filmed in 1973, during the performances from July 24-29, including the MSG shows, at the end of their North American tour. It was set up to simulate travel to different concert venues, some back stage footage, plus fantasy segments from each band member. All the filming and production did not go as planned, then Robert Plant's injuries from the serious car crash in Rhodes intervened, and the film was not released until 1976. The movie has some serious issues with editing and continuity, but is still well worth watching! You have to remember that, in those days, very few live performances were filmed, and prior to home video and the Internet, concert movies like this were really the only way for fans to see a live show if they couldn't attend in person. Was this song as *popular* as the more well-known hits? It probably did not get as much play on the radio as those released as singles, but people played the entire album, not separate songs, so I would say it was as popular with fans (everyone did not have all their favorite music in a playlist on a cellphone!). There were FM radio stations in some places that played entire albums, but not everywhere. Most fans had to go to a record store and buy the album, or have a friend who did. It's hard to explain how different those days were from the way people listen to music today!

Zep was on another level. Live was unreal from 68-75. They slipped in 77 due to page heroin addiction. Bounced back in late 70s to 1980. Then bonham drank himself to death. Really sad.

Love this song. Most zep fans love this song live

Still love The Song Remains The Same! The movie brings back fond memories growing up in the 70's !!

The residence was in England... in a large house in the countryside, happy with his wife and children, Robert returned when the tour ended

Page was also known as Master of the theremin which would be in front of him and echo when he moved his arms guitar over. That's why he played on the left side of the stage at times to avoid the echo.

Glad to see you're feeling better. Been looking forward to this.....you're going to love it it!!

I also recommend the video of No Quarter from 24 May 1975 Earls Court, London. Great version and all performance footage! Good to see u enjoying the Led Zeppelin journey.

Knebworth 79 version is a must too,conclusion of JPJs mastery,unreal...they all became one person at some point...

Want to see Jimmy shredding?? When you're ready..do a reaction to the 28 minute version of Dazed and Confused from this same MSG concert. It has very little video interruption. It's all live footage. Most who see it say it is the greatest live performance they have ever seen. Stairway to Heaven from this same concert has an incredible Jimmy solo too.

*Morning Bro* SOOOO happy you watched this live version SPECIFICALLY from this concert.! This rocks and you do too.! *loving* the journey.!!!! Have a significant day, hope your feeling better... *David* .....

Wow ,I am 58 years an didn't know this song existed from the Led ,growing up ,I didn't collect or buy albums ,but my friends did ,they never played this song ,it was always the others ,an I never really paid attention to the lyrics in music ,I had actually seen some reaction vids on Tools version an that is how I found out it was done by Led! I am glad you covered this piece an sense I am retired now ,I am going back through the music that we grew listening to an find out what some of the songs were actually about ,when found Tool it got my attention that a lot of songs have real meaning to them an was written for a purpose! Great review & reaction!..👍

my favorite guitar solo ever is this version of no quarter.

Back then we listened on vinyl at home and cassette in the car. The last thing you want to do is chance scratching your album by lifting and dropping the needle. Or fast track your cassette. We appreciate every single song.

By far the best song on the album.

14 years old , just started getting high zep hits buffalo 2 weeks before the garden, pages strap broke didnt miss a beat 3 hours , no quarter was unreel bonzo & page were like one J P J is a master, robert seemed to be taking the night off which now that im older i understand you cant sing at that level every other night, but he still was the ultimate percy lol

Trust me we would all love to see that solo on screen, but they tragically didn’t include it in the film… there is no bootleg video of it… maybe some day it will emerge from Jimmy’s vault… we can hope 🤞🏻

The film/video of this I think is excellent. Each member of the band has a video section to a song that they are the main part of. Definitely worth watching the whole movie as it’s very much the band at their nearly their best 👌👌👌👏👏👏

Searching for decades and still cannot find Page playing solo up close

Commenting before Julie :)

CELEBRATION DAY CONCERT. HELLO FROM CHIHUAHUA,MÉXICO.

When they did this song in concert it wasn't on any albums yet......but everyone like it because everyone was so high and F*ck up!!!! Bro.....back in my days...Led Zeppelin and other Rock concert was a drug festival!!!! Not like these days......so when group played songs like this of course it fit the mood PERFECTLY..................hahaahaha............lol...................hahahaha

Remember the music. Forget you ever saw this video. It's cut up in a million pieces as far as the non stage visuals go. If you were to watch The Song Remains The Same, the movie it would not be like this. For a while I believe when they were recording Presence Jimmy and Robert lived in Houdini's old house.

I believe John Paul Jones played the bass lines with foot pedals while playing the keyboard/organ!

There's also a whole Channel called 'The No Quarter Channel'. You could look among the videos on their for alternative versions.

This is actually a snippet from the 'movie'.. it was a mix of live footage and 'fantasy scenes"... you are seeing the movie already :)

Dazed and confused live from this same 1973 msg Show is absolute masterpiece a must listen !!!!!

Yes, The Song Remains the Same movie is s must for a fan. I will show a fantasy sequence for each band member and manager, as well as their personal lives and hobbies! It was shelved amid disputes with the film makers and then 3 years later released in theaters (1976)when Zep were on hiatus.

There is a video of a guy covering just the solo and nails it.He is sitting on a stool,with a white background playing a Les Paul.

Glad to see you feeling better. After reading the comments here I suggest you make a great effort to read all the comments for this post. When a reactors channel attracts a larger following it does take up more of your valuable time, you obviously do read a lot of comments as you comment and ask further questions. From September 1968 until the summer of 1980, English rock band Led Zeppelin were the world's most popular live music attraction, performing hundreds of sold-out concerts around the world. In 1969, for example, all but 33 of the band's 139 shows were performed in the U.S., and between the years 1968 and 1971 they made no fewer than nine tours of North America.

My favorite off of the album by far. And it is a great album! Psychedelic yet very aggressive!

John Paul Jones adding a bass line from his keyboard pedals.

YES this was popular when it came out. I was in San Francisco, and we were singing it in the streets. Of course, we were singing all of the good songs of the time lol

The movie is worth it!

If you haven't already check out "The Song Remains the Same". Any of the live footage from the 3 nights they played at Madison Square Garden in 1973.

It is a deep cut, but became a fan favorite

the member's of the band portrayed there fantasy so some songs there acting it out with Peter grand as well

Great reaction great song I can't wait for you to get to the next album we're going to do a little Change-Up 👍

This is a song where the live versions are *much* better than the original studio version. They kept improving the song as they performed it in concert. (well, sometimes they "over-improved it", and needed to dial it back a little!). But the best of the live versions just totally outclass the original studio recording.

SalvoG, great one, so yeah Zeppelin has their mystical, magical side and aura to them, very strong here but in so many songs and in the band nystique and look in general...as for how well received, we all looked at it as a highlight, an amazing piece of rock musical art... 🤙🔥 and yeah definitely ass the movie, The Song Remains The Same, gives the full Zep experience and each band member has like featured songs and video.. 👍🔥

I went to see the song remains the same when it hit the theaters. The video of Plant went with The Song Remains the Same and Rain Song.

Total. Unhindered. GOATS.

Light and Shade!!!

They all lived in England; Robert had a place in Wales where I believe some of the video was shot.

Yes the movie is worth it!

Th is such a great riff
