Loved listening to this but the one thing it ain’t is polished. Led Zeppelin did not pinch this song they just made it sound like it was worth listening to. Here endith the lesson.

Kinda explodes out from somewhere deep down.

Where can I find the transcript of this?

Thank you for this!

I didn't even something like this existed. This is amazing!

At such an age he was still in good energy 😌

😍😍😍😍WE MISS YOUUUUUU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩😩😩😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

How amazing that we in 2024 can hear the composer play his piece that he wrote in 1899.

This is the nest live version i've evere heared.

I don't like Zeppelin nor Nirvana, I just like this sort of music. You can call me anything but Charles Manson has a lot of this kind of songs in his prison albums

He was no less than 90 years old at this time. Truly a legend.

Wowwwwwwwwww, this is so fucking rare

This man is a GD God. I love so many of the bands who were influenced by him. I now listen to him more than those bands.

This guy was a master

I love it when these masters of folk and blues (Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, etc.) actually communicated with their instrument ("tell ;em all about it,' "are you gonna do it", etc.) a call and response type of thing, as if it was another person...in doing so created such compelling story telling (communicating) to their audience! BRAVO!!

Regarding all the hate speech surrounding this subject, the Led Zeppelin group should have been promoting where these songs they sampled came from. The historic origins. It was their duty to do so. Instead, there is a massive group of people who believed or even so today believe those songs were their own material. Some young people back in the day did not have money to buy the albums and did not get the understanding that those songs in question were not there original compositions. Played on (a lot) the radio without mention of the the sampling. Perhaps this is why some of the vitriol. Now a new young group that has been artibuted to stealing Led Zeppelin's genre has been targeted by some. Even though they write and perform their own music. And some are saying they have achieved a very high level with their song Meeting the Master. Much respect to these young lads. GRETA VAN FLEET! Not yelling at the reader a shout out to the lads. ❤ & Peace

Oh my goodness that is the greatest ending statement after a performance: "That's right" He should follow that with "Are you not entertained?!! are you not entertained?!!" Haha

What a great song! That powerful singing...that powerful rhythm...incredible! 😀

jea ...Leadbelly, ....King of the 12 String Guitar.

Love his “Memories of You”.

From the time I was a teenager I was a Eubie Blake, especially because my uncle who was a music teacher and was from East New York Brooklyn was a big fan of his. In 1978 I was working for Air France in New York and he was arriving from a jazz festival. I was assigned to wheel his wheelchair from the gate which was quite a distance. It was such an honor and as I'm wheeling him through customs, all of these tall young sexy black women we're coming over to him and hugging him and kissing him. When we were in the JFK parking lot he looked at me and said, "now I get all this huggin and kissing. Where were they when I was young and could do something about it?" He was as hilarious as he was charming and talented. It was the memory of a lifetime.

The real deal .

Leadbelly.The library of congress recordins.A 3 record box.Recorded on a taperecorder.

I’m English and listening to the real deal is miles better than 3 copycat, upper middle class fellas, stealing shit from poor black Americans from the south and then claiming they wrote it and then getting a trillion lawyers to defend their bollocks in a bent court

Another song Page & Plant originally credited themselves only. Shame on them.

Just Fu*king brilliant

Willie Watson turned out the best version of this song ever.

He ripped that off from Led Zeppelin

It makes me sad that Scott Joplin did not live ling enough to receive that kind of applause on a modern stage. Eubie Blake is a legend! Thanks to whoever posted this.

Bob Dylan wrote that nobody could play the blues like Blind Willie Mactell.

Thank you for posting this. I'm a guitarist and I want to play like Lead Belly, but I could never visualize how Lead Belly played that and this is the closest and only thing I've seen like it.

I ´m lucky to today, i was at that concert. He played and spoke as a young man! Great concert, i was just 20 years old, and i never forgot, what i saw!

What often gets overlooked is his ability to engage and entertain an audience. A real showman indeed.😊😊😊

Wow

anyone know this song because of Ramblin' Mike? HANGMAN HANGMAN. my first time hearing this version! but the Led Zep is the one I know and like

How good is this, I love original classics from the real legends of music. ❤❤❤❤

Valuable early cinematic artifact.

Legend

Didn’t he personally know Scott Joplin?

what a voice, I am so overwhelmed by this ancient recording, but I can't really understand the words being English

Something irrepressibly joyful about this song.

Typical of USoNAans, cannot even state that this was taken from a British folk song! Just as the blues, even Jazz was derived from Gaelic music! Guess Zeppelin just took the song back to it's rightful place. Better version anyway!

The greatest rag time pianist since Scott Joplin and he had actually met Joplin in 1910.

heard someone sing this in a folk club in orpington when I was 15 years old in 1985 and asked them who did the original. whoever you were, thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

I remember seeing him on many TV shows when I was a kid, youth and young man.

2024 - listening to an interview from 85 years ago. Wow

That is one absolute musical genius and one beautiful sounding bechstein!
