in 1969 , no one sounded like this , the birth of heavy rock

[@jxchamb]

And yet the critics dismissed them as a Cream clone. Lol.

[@betsyduane3461]

Blue Cheer, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly were all before Zeppelin.

[@alfonslemel5745]

@@jxchamb Everybody influences everybody else - no Hendrix or Cream etc = no Zeppelin. Nobody sounded like King Crimson in 1969. "21st Century Schizoid Man" was more of a departure than Zep (I prefer Zep to KC). Yet Fripp is open and honest about his influences,

Jimmy was already a rockstar. He was a much called for guitar session player in all the studios in London. He had just left the band the Yardbirds and formed the new Yardbirds, which became Led Zeppelin. Basically it was Jimmy’s band, he put them all together, wrote most of the songs with Robert, arranged, and more importantly, produced all the albums.

[@juliemanarin4127]

JPJ was a sought after session musician too! Jones also was an arranger.

[@stevenseul361]

Robert brought in Bonzo they were close school friends

[@sandrasheppard3106]

The thing that makes them so extraordinary is there were no passengers in Zeppelin.

[@fishboy91]

As far as writing most of the songs, that was definitely true for the first album and less true for the second and by the third, everyone was contributing equally

David McCallum was a british actor on a American t.v. show called "Man from Uncle". His father was a symphony conductor. He introduced his father to Jimmy Page. They were in a conversation about music at a party when father suggested Jimmy try a cello bow on his electric guitar. Jimmy was looking for new sounds and tried it. It became part of Jimmy.s bag of tricks. I think David told this story on the Les Crane show(late 60"s KTTV ch. 11 talk show).

Every Led Zeppelin show seems to be unique. At one point I had around 40 different live shows and they almost never played songs the same way. Particularly their early shows. Those half the time they were playing different medleys, and jamming out

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

And just one year later at the Royal Albert Hall, they turned this masterpiece into a 20-minute masterpiece and played that show like they've been touring together for decades! The transition from this to the RAH show is astounding - and not only bc it's in color. 😂🤘🤘

It pretty much is. They all 4 were in the top 10 of their respective instrument.

[@stephenmaclean3422]

But keep in mind, though this is one of the first times Led Zeppelin is together, Jimmy was using the bow several years earlier while in the Yardbirds, and Plant and Bonham weren’t just picking up their instruments that year but had been playing in pubs for almost 5 years together as the Band of Joy. As well, JPJ is already an accomplished studio musician along with Jimmy for the previous several years. They are all masters of on the spot, on the fly innovation and masters of their instruments. They have all these dynamics worked out before hand; the crescendos, the boleros, the quieting, the “all join in”. They are signaling each other like mad throughout this performance, watching intently and winking at each other to prompt the next movement from each other with JPJ and Bonham laying down their rock steady undercurrent for Plant and Page to dance across with Lyric and Lead.

[@betsyduane3461]

Page was already famous by this point, he was a seasoned session guitarist appearing on many hits for others and was in the Yardbirds.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

[@metalmark1214]

I guess this sounds fresh if you are hearing it for the first time. Led Zeppelin's name came from a comment made by Keith Moon of The Who, who once said the band would go down like a lead balloon. I guess that didn't happen.😉

[@CJ-Fischer]

I find it funny that so many people went after Led Zeppelin for stealing old and forgotten songs from ages ago. If Zeppelin didn’t remake them nobody would Ever Hear of them. Plus Zeppelin did those old blues songs a million times better than the originals 😅

[@kevg707]

Led Zeppelin the greatest band to have ever Landed ..mic drop

[@sicotshit7068]

I think this mini show of like 4 songs was before the album came out overseas, it was released in the US on January 12;1969, & 4 months later everywhere else. They weren’t as excepted in England like here in the US. Their first US concert was on December 26, 1968, they played a concert with Vanilla Fudge. Those poor kids watching, weren’t allowed to make any noise, they had to sit there & be quiet. Plant & Bonham we’re both 20 JPJ 23 & Page 24, JPJ & Page both born in January, so maybe a year older at this time. They had their first practice on August 19,1968, the day before Plants 20th birthday, in a few months they accomplished so much, Plant doesn’t quite have his confidence here yet. Thanks for your reaction & keep reaching to Led Zeppelin.

[@franklau1000]

This early Led Zep is amazing. I love Robert’s voice here. Deep, raw, soulful, outstanding. Jimmy doing his guitar wizard, Bonzo beating the heck out of those drums, and JPJ holding it all together with excellent bass. I watch this four song set often. To hear “Let me introduce Led Zeppelin to you.” Gives me chills. I’ve been a fan since 1969.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

Great choice to review since it's so raw and full of ZepEnergy. This is the original shit, man.

[@MrLedotson]

This video makes me think of 2 things. How the Muppet Animal was based off the drummers John Bonham, Keith Moon, and Ginger Baker. You can really see the influence Jonh Bonham had. Second, the audience reminds me of the Back to the Future scene, "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it." If you've seen it, you'll understand. Led Zeppelin was ahead of its time.

He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968. When the Yardbirds broke up, he founded Led Zeppelin, which was active from 1968 to 1980. Following the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.

Good to see you two going back to the origins of Zeppelin, but as I looked at your Zep playlist, I'm shocked you haven't reacted to KASHMIR from the double album Physical Graffiti, or NO QUARTER from Houses of the Holy. Those tunes in particular will introduce you to the "Progressive" Led Zeppelin, a little more complex and different than the heavy blues rock norm. Highly recommend you listen to those two gems to get the full scope.

One of my faves, that is way underplayed/heard. I think Jimmy was 25 here and John Paul Jones around the same a bit younger 23 maybe, with Robert and John the young ones 19-20ish. "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play"! There IS an Interlude in the middle of this song, Sam. This song is worth a studio listen, for sure, even on your own while lifting. Thanks, Great Tunes!!

It should be noted that this song is a rocked-up remake of Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all-time, but I feel like people overstate how original they were.

[@stevePsutton]

John Bonham used a common technique of the time that was called a "rim shot" on the snare. The steel ring securing the drum head is struck with the base of the stick while the tip strikes the snare head. It produces the pop or ring on top of the drum head sound. Drummers used it in the early days to make themselves heard above the increasing loud guitar amps being developed. Its very distinctive when you strike a rim shot. Not to be confused with a "cross stick" used in reggae where its layed across the drum head

[@TheMaster826]

I recommend checking out the other songs at this concert. The band do 3 others before this one. Communication Breakdown, Dazed And Confused, and Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You. All from this concert/performance at Danmarks Radio!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

How fun is that? I've only seen that a few times but it's fascinating. And when Jimmy Page breaks out the bow on the guitar, it would already be so super cool especially for that early in time, like performance art, just to do it at all. But if you listen closely to what he does, it's really high level musicianship. Especially near the end of it. It's astonishingly tight. He's not just randomly whacking around. Although he gets off that impression, laugh.
