Songwriter Reacts to Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin Live in NYC (EPIC!!)  

The studio tracks are all outstanding...and really, you should listen to them all. But once you get thru those, the live performances are a completely other world. The studio tracks are a snapshot in time of what the song was at that moment. Once a track was recorded and an album released, the songs expanded and grew in live shows.....improvisation led them in all kinds of directions from night to night, and they never played a song the same way twice in a live setting. Incredible musicianship allowed them to take their music anywhere they wanted at any time.

I was there as a 14 year old kid and left shell shocked and amazed at this concert at MSG...great reaction brother

This was voted in the UK as the most recognised riff of all time .

A 4 layer cake, one for each member. Mixed & baked to perfection

Watch more live performances!! They do everything superbly!! Dazed And Confused from this 1973 concert will be something you will never see again!!

I'm 57 years old and remembered this song every day on the radio from my babysitter's house before I was old enough to go to elementary school. LMAO!!! My mom was a hippie chick. She introduced me to the greatest music. To this day, her favorite group is Pink Floyd...

This is so different from the studio version. It's nice to watch them live.

I’ve always loved this specific song from this specific show… my favorite part is when they add that rockabilly part before the end. To me that’s a symbolic moment that honors the beginnings of rock n roll and also showcase what rock had become at that time

Oh man that was my music back in the day! Every keg party had that playing !

The original album version is still really interesting as a sound sculpture. Jimmy Page oversaw the studio recordings, and he made them (or so he said in a magazine interview) exactly as he wanted them to be.

He said boogie one time for Elvis. Zeppelin did that kinda stuff a lot. Through in some 50's sock-hop, Elvis, just about anything.

“Since I been loving you “ Live for sure

Jimmy page loved to ad lib and go off on tangents during concerts and the rest of the band was talented enough to keep up.

Zep is not from this earth..magickal, just magickal. Love the banner ehind you! Blessed be!

Can't go wrong with any Led Zeppelin

One of their best performances! All of their live stuff is on a whole other level.

They always improvised live. This was just one song in a nearly 4 hour show.

You said it, 'like bosses'. Robert Plant with the ORIGINAL mic drop. Who the hell could perform at THAT level these days. They are the GOAT!

It really doesn't get any better then LedZep live. Just 4 OG's getting it done...

I saw this tour, 6th row center, in Dallas. I have been a concert junkie since! I had never seen a man like Plant. WOOF 😍. I became a rock radio jock for free tickets and backstage passes lol. ☮️❤️

Yes, we were wild and free. Glorious times. Signed Old Fart.

Yaay! You did it! Aren't they magnificent? Jimmy is playing a Theramin! They were never scripted...always improvised! They played for 3 or more hours per night!! I was a teen in the 70s...best time of my life!

They sure are an experience!!! Finesse on steroids

I saw LZ in 75 and 77. Live they actually make the hair on my neck tingle. Nothing like 2 and a half hours of LZ live. Both shows I saw are on RU-vid as bootlegs. Terrible sound quality but never thought I'd hear either again ever.

Recently discovered this channel. Loving the content mate. Now you’re deep into the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. I highly recommend watching the live version of Dazed and Confused from the same gig as this one. MSG ‘73. They take the song places you wouldn’t imagine. Keep up the good work.

I like the way you interpreted the performance as the making of a cake that’s a cool way to put it👍

Thanks for your reaction!

They were and are the best to ever do it. All four were masterful and contributed to what the Zeppelin sound was. Unmatched musicianship that crafted unbelievably good songs - one after another. I also recommend listening to their entire catalogue as they simply did not put a bad track out.

WOW

Get em Jimmy !

Fantastic reaction! Now you have met the boys in the band and have a sense of the live performances. I think that this will be the best way for you to get to know who is doing what musically, as you can see them playing although it is hard not to be totally mesmerised by Robert Plant, the vocalist. The electronic devise that the guitarist was using in the chaotic transition section is a Theramine and it is great to see how much fun Jimmy Page is having with it. It is great to watch you react to these because it reminds you of when you first heard them and also makes you listen with fresh ears. i would highly recommend "Dazed and Confused" as your next track which features Jimmy Page playing his guitar with a violin bow , maybe do the studio version first then do the live performance at Madison Square garden from 73 , which is 30 minutes long and is a life changing experience . Having said that you will find your own way through the back catalogue and you'll love it which ever way you do it. We just want you to enjoy it, we certainly are!

This is one track from their movie "The song remains the same" filmed at MSG. I saw it over 20 times as a kid for free at the local military theater. It shows their manager, the late, great Peter Grant (ex-wrestler who changed the game for bands going from 50% to 90% of the gate and also getting Led Zeppelin their own label to sign other bands (Swan Song - signed Bad Company) within their label). You also see each band member do a skit to a song, John's is with his dragster! RIP - you also learn about the theft of one of the nights door money etc etc.

Loved your reaction .

Great reaction, cheers

Was there ..for 2 of the three night's..

Hard driving song, Master Dragon. Takes me back a good number of decades. LOL! Grandma Ellen, over & out. 💜

Live recordings are so inferior to studio recordings, Studio provide the best sound quality and performance ability of each element of the band.

Live video of 'In my time of dyin' please!

Black Dog or Since I’ve Been Loving You, same concert. In My Time of Dying….Earls Court 1975.

Yes, this performance is "an experience"! 😳🤪🥴😎 There is another live version, from their "How the West was Won" album, which has some cool additions to the medley in the middle of the song. It's great how they pay homage to the 50's Rock n' Roll pioneers. Check it out! 🤙🤘😎

Listen to Dust in the Wind , I think you will like it

Great analogy about the cake! This was awesome, looking forward to more live Zepp. Since I've been loving you, same concert. Good work NAIA, well put!

Wait till you react to Dazed and Confused from the same live - "Song Remains the Same" movie - you're going to leave the Milky Way galaxy - LOL.

I love this! ❤️❤️👋👋🎶🎼

Watch led zeppelin drum solo by Jon Bonham live on song called Moby Dick

Pass off

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time and my favorite band. You haven't reacted to them at all. They have many long songs that are masterpieces. Not your usual music. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

Listen to ZZ Topp their Sharp Dresses Man, Blue Jean Blues

Wanted to see if I could keep up Bonham. Stood behind him drumming. I Stood Paid!

Cool. Glad to see you tried them out live. :) When doing them live, I highly recommend you do any song from this concert or the few they have from the 1975 concert at Earls Court first. The live stuff before this concert, they don't have their full "persona" together yet and it can be rough around the edges. It's fine once you heard the other stuff but it pails to what they would become. The stuff after 75, the sound mix is just off on almost everything and Page started having "H" problems that affected his performances. And the most of the stuff you see on here are remastered bootlegs. The one exception is the 2006? Reunion concert. thats pretty good but they are all old men in that so.

Shake it one time for Elvis

Try Since I’ve Been Loving You from the same concert…. MSG 1973…. Epic is not big enough a word …

Just a thought. It's usually, nearly always, better to do studio versions first. People that know the song request live versions, but it's very iffy. This was a pretty good version though.

ok so now check out dazed and confused live from the same movie. and the watch immigrant song live not from song remains the same. it will pop up in you tube search. They are soooo awesome!! It was the biggest generation gap in history. so yah enjoy these tracks. peace to you as above so below✌

Try listening to some Podcasts Pink Floyd

Jimmy Page plays theremin.

Studio version is 10x better.

You say you won't cut-in on the song, but you visually block performance?

So, I personally don’t like this amount of improvisation while listening to a song that I already know. I find it too indulgent by each musician.

not such a good version.

The clip is disturbing and Led Zeppelin unworthy, 😞😞😞
