*You can support the channel with KZbin Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!* Zeppelin throwing down!! What should I check out next from them?!

[@williamcabell142]

John Paul Jones, keys, strings…and arrangements! He was playing both, played with the key peddles! The GOATS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LisaLou4sho]

🎉came here to say this!

[@bluesdog645]

John Paul Jones played bass, keys, and acoustic guitar & mandolin (during the acoustic portion of their concerts). The keys he’s playing during Stairway are a Melotron during the intro, then electric piano and bass lines on foot pedals.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for the Led Zeppelin ❤

[@Feistygirl2024]

I saw John Bonhams son Jason in concert a few years ago, he definitely got his father's skills ❤

[@LedSteelers]

MSG 73 is the best version of the two !!

[@rdhudon7469]

In my time of dying live. It is humbling to musicians . These guys as a unit set the bar.

[@roadwary]

every live performance of this tune varies, keeps it fresh, Bonham is my favorite drummer yet there's so many greats

[@nickshelley3118]

Jimmy is the top dog in my opinion as #1 guitar god, not super fast, or real clean, but its the true way a guitar should be played, and all the compositions, yeah, he's the man.

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Wholeheartedly AGREE!!! Ive been in Mad Luv with My Jimmy Wizard Babe since i 1st started listening to them when i was 8 yrs old they grabbed me by my Soul & NEVER let GO! & They consistently put me in a *Trance* where i am taken out of this realm they are the most Beautiful Gift & a Treasure to this Planet *RockON!!!

[@27thangel23]

Greetings from Canada. On the album, Jonesy plays 3 different recorders at the start. For live performances he preloaded a Mellotron with them... which he plays them with his fingers, while his feet play bass pedals. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

[@gregcarroll4053]

This cannot be screwed with. THAT IS straight talent.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

So happy to get more Zeppelin on the channel!! It's not the live one I requested a while ago but my fingers are still crossed you'll get around to it someday. When JPJ is on the keys, he uses foot pedals for the bass. There is nobody else is on stage with them when they create their magic.🤘🤘

[@kellypickle]

This is one of the first songs I remember hearing as a small child. I remember the guitar parts. Yes the whole song, but specifically the incredibly beautiful guitar there’s something so magical about it that I think really appeals to a sense of wonder that those of us who’re musicians have for the greats.

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love this song and I absolutely love Led Zeppelin! I grew up listening to their music and it is still so much a part of my life. Yes, that is John Paul Jones on Keyboard there. I love their "Celebration Day Tour" video and I would have loved to have been there at that concert. My favorite Led Zeppelin songs are "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song", "Kashmir", "Stairway to Heaven", "Ramble On", "Good Times Bad Times", "All My Love", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Thank You", "The Immigrant Song". A friend of mine lives very close to Robert Plant and his friend is dying of brain cancer. Robert Plant sang him a song on his cell phone and sent it to him and wished him well. I was so blessed to be able to see it and then delete it as requested to do. Led Zeppelin with all of it's fame and fortune was made up of humans and most people like to lump them all together as people that are not very caring or decent and that is false. Their music touched so many people's lives and still does today.

[@SusanCote-n7z]

I saw them live in Seattle in 1972. Right up front, festival seating, couldn't hear for 3 days after the concert!

[@setonhillstudios]

That is awesome!! Thanks for sharing! 🔥

[@jeffreyflint6286]

You never lose with Led Zeppelin. One of .my favourite bands ever!!! Fantastic always.

[@setonhillstudios]

🔥🔥

Also, check out the whole DVD! Royal Albert Hall 1970 - Ferocious young Zep. 1973 MSG, 1975 Earls Court, 1979 Knebworth and other stuff

[@markjensen5517]

It's great finally hearing and seeing a different version then the MSG '73 everyone else plays. Great job!

[@acekis1]

The greatest rock ‘n’ roll band ever!

[@dagmar.6954]

"Stairway To Heaven" is their most famous song & considered by many as one of the all time best. Led Zeppelin have a huge library of hits. "Immigrant Song", "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", "Ramble On", "Kashmir", "When The Levee Breaks", “Dazed & Confused”, “Since I’ve Been Loving You”, "Rock & Roll", "The Ocean", "Over The Hills & Far Away", "The Song Remains The Same", "The Rain Song", "Good Times Bad Times" etc.

[@lethasatterfield9615]

I heard this intro about 10,000 times growing up as I had a big brother that played the guitar in a band.

[@JonathanGreen18]

Yes John Paul Jones, he plays both bass keys and mandolin and probably more ! An integral part of ZepP !! Gotta Love Bonzo having a timpani and gong !

[@jmar7631]

I enjoy their performance of a lot of their songs during the five nights of this gig - In My Time of Dying during the 25 May performance was outstanding - but I admit that for Stairway to Heaven, I think their 1973 Madison Square Garden performance was better. I think you'd enjoy it even more so if you've got the time, I recommend that you give it a watch.

[@anitawright7169]

This is so very iconic. Love your reaction!

[@mikerobinson8152]

If you love Bonham you must check out In My Time of Dying live from anywhere in the early 70’s. His drumming on that track is next level

[@brianmiller616]

As a drummer you know you got to watch each other for ques to speed up or slow down when you are free playing

[@verginithe]

Allot of improve from Zep live, they didn't want to play things the same, they said it got boring. Love your enthusiasm.

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks so much! 😄

[@StephenRoss-pj9ih]

I love the way this song ascends, peaks then descends, it’s a journey!❤️‍🔥🎸

[@ginnydominguez5493]

I'm a extreme led head. Love all there live footage. But my favorite is msg in 73 or it's call the song remains the same the movie it blows me away. 😊

[@jean-pierreyot5871]

I was in the audience here. Amazing concert ! Two or three months before the show I was very early in line to buy my tickets at Earl’s Court which were to on sale at midday. By 10:00 am the crowd was so packed and getting more and more impatient and boisterous that us early arrivals were being pushed by the yobs at the back and things were going sour. Fortunately the organizers must have seen what was going on and they opened the ticket counters at around 10:15. Nearly got Trampled Underfoot !

[@majones501]

And Bonham is just sitting there making it look easy! I always love Zeppelin, and they can certainly perform this song. I agree that it is a great song, but since it was so overplayed on FM radio that it’s still one of my least favorite songs. But this is definitely a great performance. Thanks for playing it.

[@setonhillstudios]

I hear ya! Sometimes you hear a tune so many times you get satiated on it! More Zeppelin to come on the channel for sure! 🤘🏻

[@joehartmann9353]

Great live performance!

[@csphoenix9]

Please do No Quarter live

[@duncanwright6106]

I was there what an experience great memories

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s so awesome! 😁

[@ruth2141]

There's other live versions of this. Some of the later ones are not so good. My favorite is the Madison Square Garden 1973, though the video quality is not as good as this.

[@LoisChisholm]

Thanks for this live performance. I'm much more familiar with the short, AM radio, studio version. The intro was fabulous, and the rest of the song was as beautiful as I've ever heard it.

[@irmaoksanen6830]

Great sound quality.

[@ElunedLaine]

I'm so glad you reacted to this. What an iconic performance

[@Dan-zq5wt]

As a drummer, hit When the Levee Breaks, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand (studio and live), In My Time of Dying (same). As a megafan, Madison Square Garden 1973 versions of: The Ocean, No Quarter, Whole Lotta Love, Rain Song, Dazed all kill. Actually the whole catalogue is killer. Check out Immigrant Song on BBC. Deep bench!

[@chercee]

Iconic classic rock!

[@garymedlock7898]

"When The Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin as a drummer please check this out.

[@valwhelan3533]

Check out Kashmir - best song ever by led zep. If you like drumming..... Also immigrant song is a banger.

[@rondickinson8741]

I appreciate your reaction, but you really need to check out live at Madison Square Garden from the 1973 tour version shines it by far

[@setonhillstudios]

Thanks for the recommendation! 😄

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s what I keep hearing. I’ll have to check it out! Appreciate it!

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

Once the drums initialize in the song you can clearly hear Bonzo’s drumming over John Paul Jones keyboards….it sounded like the keyboards were dubbed out ….the 1973 MSG live concert the keyboards was present throughout the song….would have been the better choice

[@DonnaMiller-bj3sm]

When the Levy Breaks .please

[@scotttrainer9704]

Sorry that you selected 75. Robert had been ill and his voice was suffering to the point they cut the tour short. Not terrible, but 73 was a much better year for them.

[@steveparlow7322]

Yep ... saw them at the Oden in New Street Birmingham that year. Robert comes into our pub from time to time, always has time to talk but not really about Led Zeppelin ..... of course it was Bonzo's passing 25 September.

[@setonhillstudios]

I’ll have to check it out! 🤘🏻

[@kellypickle]

And this is why I can’t have a favorite guitar player It would be Stevie Ray Vaughan hands-down But I can’t do it because Jimmy page exists. That tone that incredible tone he’s just so musically gifted. He is wasted here as he has said in interviews. And still, this is what you get. Just absolutely incredible yes, John Paul Jones this was really his masterpiece, but I could never get around Jimmy. He’s just so good. Thank goodness there’s so many guitar players and there’s so many great ones they make life worth living lol

[@setonhillstudios]

Haha 😂 No doubt about it! 🤘🏻

[@sushibar777]

If you like drums and guitars you should listen to the live Alchemy tour performance by Dire Straits doing "Sultans of Swing".

It’s on the channel! I covered it very early! Absolutely unbelievable!!

Most certainly as a drummer you've probably heard When the Levee Breaks?

A banger for sure!! 🔥

[@sumonjamal1653]

Sadly, Robert Plant refuses to sing 'Stairway to Heaven' in concert anymore... the last time he did was in 2007 at Led Zeppelin's reunion and final concert for charity. Yes, John Paul Jones plays keyboards as well as bass... he was Led Zeppelin's secret weapon behind the scenes and onstage because he was a trained musician, composer, producer, arranger and a multi-instrumentalist. Led Zeppelin never used offstage musicians as far as I know... Unfortunately, that meant that if any band members were tired or not feeling well, they sounded rather shaky in concert. From what Zeppelin's studio engineers recalled... John Bonham and John Paul Jones were the best rhythm section they had ever recorded... they would complete their drums and bass tracks in 1 or 2 takes (which was unreal!) ... And in concert, if Jimmy Page's playing was sloppy... or Robert Plant's voice was not all there... John Bonham could always save the day w/ his incredible performances on the drums and John Paul Jones was always a reliable presence in the back that kept the Zeppelin steady.

[@robertstewart1929]

You have to watch The Song Remains the Same film. A must watch for all Led Zeppelin fans. Peace!

Have you done Moby Dick from the same concert.

[@setonhillstudios]

I haven’t! Definitely on the list though!

[@sicotshit7068]

@@setonhillstudiosdo the Royal Albert Hall (1970) Moby Dick solo, you can see what Bonham is doing better. Live at Knebworth (1979) Achilles Last Stand & Kashmir, for great Bonham drumming. Dazed & Confused at Royal Albert Hall (1970) for drumming too. I know it’s been quite awhile since you’ve done Zeppelin, so not sure what all you’ve heard. Fool In The Rain is another great Bonham song, but then they all are, he stands out.

[@joaolucasgomes3033]

I think it's a good version, the only thing missing is the solo. I don't think Jimmy Page can finish the solo with as much force in this version. The 1973 version is much better.

I would be so disappointed if I went to a concert and heard a note for note rendition of an album track. The whole point is to hear creativity and musical expression in the moment. Of course the live show is rehearsed too but no thank you to today’s fake lip synched nonsense. I’m glad I was able to see so many shows back in the day. There was always some spontaneity

As Led Zeppelin go - that's a mediocre recording of the song. The performance wasn't the worst (apart from idiotic Plant's unnecessary additions) but the sound on the video is pretty awful. But the band's got charisma so it's got the views and likes. listening to the studio album version is a much more pleasurable experience.
