EACH MEMBER BROUGHT THE FIRE ON THIS! First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying Reaction

[@bdmention]

Never enough footage of John Paul Jones playing. The bass runs in this song are sick.

Yes very true many people seem to forget about John Paul Jones and how great he contributes to all the great music of Led zeppelin

[@vicprovost2561]

That seems to be the case in most Led Zeppelin video from back then, JPJ is often MIA for long stretches. The glue that held the band completely together, whatever they needed, he provided.

[@wildbill7081]

Back in your day maybe. Back in my day I saw 'em live in concert. Hate to say this, but I was a bit disappointed.

[@kbrewski1]

They released The Song Remains the Same to theaters in the mid 70s. But, as much as I liked Zep in the 70s, they had a rep of being sloppy live because of the drugs.

[@kirstenstewart5758]

One of my favourite live performances of Zeppelin, at the top of their game, each a virtuoso of their own craft come together to create this masterpiece!!

[@betsyduane3461]

The studio version blows this away. But this is still fantastic. This was Earl's Court 1975

[@joescott8877]

It really does. I like the live "No Quarter" better than the studio, for ex., but that's not always the case. UR right, in THIS case, as killer and well-mixed as the instruments are, the REAL fire of this song is to unlocked in the studio version. (which, yes, was a "live" jam session IN the studio, as the cough at the end shows, lol)

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Jimmy Page circa 1971-1975 was the most swaggering, rock star monster guitarist alive. A complete badass

[@vicprovost2561]

Yep, he vaporized most other guitarists, for me, only Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and David Gilmour are in the same conversation.

[@alexshkoditch4593]

If you think it was remarkable that Roberts voice held up through the length of this song, be aware that Zeppelin's set was over 3 hours long that night. Dr. Winston O'Boogie (an alias for John Lennon) once said, "You should have been there" in reference to music of the past.

[@RonaldRon-se4db]

I enjoy so many of your reaction vids... A comment about Zeppelin more importantly about the fact that most people, certainly not all but most, people totally under appreciate JPJ's bass playing! He is very much responsible for not only allowing Jimmy and Robert to execute their greatness but was so involved in the mastery of their rewrites of most of their songs... He's so underrated by people who know music and underappreciated by many who just love their their music. I'm not being judgemental just expressing my thoughts after many years of listening and observing the entire music scene beginning in 1964. Yep! I am an old man. To toot my own horn a bit, I started playing drums (and progressed to other percussion 'diddies' over time) and to make some of you jealous had the absolute privilege to see Led Zeppelin in concert!!!! No, not once, not twice but 3x's in the early 70's!!!!! (as well as 73 other fantastic live performances by groups of the greatest era of music EVER!!! (Not just the era for music but LIFE IN GENERAL!!!!) Such beautiful times as well as BEAUTIFUL, LOVING PEOPLE!!! "Those were the days" to coin an old phrase.... Thanks for giving a platform for us ancients to ramble on. I appreciate y'all and enjoy your reaction videos. GOD bless you and keep 'em comin'...... 🙏❤✌️

[@helenespaulding7562]

I agree completely except for the poor guys who were drafted. Wasn’t the best of times for them.

[@fishboy91]

They are masters at transitions...going in and coming out of solo's....slowing down and then speeding up...going into one key and them coming back to the original key. One guy will play off another. All 4 guys will use "their" instrument to do that and will do it buy ear. They ALMOST never look at each other and telegraph it. However, they will glue themselves to what Bonham is doing. This performance is basically a master class. It is improvisational but within a structure/framework.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Agree with most of what you said. However, it’s my understanding that one of the many things that made Zeppelin so incredible live was that Bonham, while laying down the groove, also followed Jimmy’s lead. He had to, since Jimmy would improv every performance, so you had to have a drummer who could switch on a dime and add accents to Jimmy’s flights of fancy. And also, there was plenty of eye communication between Plant and Page.

[@ddhartma]

JPJ was playing his heart out! In fact, they all were, and yet - they were so tight!

[@charlesmyers8150]

1969, Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, Jethro Tull played a US tour, with a stop in Baltimore. Fantastic year for music!

[@juliemanarin4127]

A true masterpiece!! The studio one actually was a jam session and recorded with them just playing! Yes a slide guitar!

[@davidadams5280]

Hey Julie the guy who is talking about Zeppelin stealing songs is the usual loser. They act like they are so smart and telling us something we don't know. And we don't care. Zeppelin did more to bring the blues to the mainstream than anyone. They deserve a Congressional medal. Maybe that guy is busy doing his other hobby. Melting toy soldiers onto ants

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

Well done guys !!! The first reviewer to actually pick up on JPJ’s outstanding bass. He never ever gets his dues. Without his driving bass Zeppelin wouldn’t be Zep. Plain as day!!!

[@cline7269]

great song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardgearhart1286]

It's called improvisation-- they never played any song the same way in a live performance. This was 1975-- go watch Celebration Day, a one of a kind concert on Dec 10 2007. They're playing 16 of their greatest hits 32 years after this show. The venue was the 02 arena in London. 20 million ticket requests for 20,000 seats. Sold out within hours

[@rickburke6936]

[@majones501]

Yeah! This is one of the reasons Physical Graffiti is my favorite album of theirs. You are right that this sounds like a jam session, BUT, it is so completely structured and tightly timed, everyone is in sync. Jimmy’s extremely complex jamming on the slide guitar, flawlessly and rapidly hitting notes up and down the neck, is totally in sync with Jones’s bass riffs and Bonham’s lead drumming. There is no way that they can be so completely in sync without the song being tightly structured. Imagine the work they put into rehearsing so that they could perform with such mastery! I had not seen this performance, so thanks for reacting to it. Love it!

[@davidadams5280]

I like how Zeppelin could take an old flat blues song that no one ever heard of and was about a 4 level and make it into a legendary song. Wish they did more of these.

[@RobertDavisAdman]

Nothing”4 level” about Blind Willie Johnson. He is considered by many to be the finest slide guitarist of all time.

[@davidadams5280]

His song sounds more like Hats Off To Roy Harper. They have very little resemblance. And it's an old blues standard that's nearly 200 years old . And yes he is a fine guitar player but I 💯% believe his version sounds like a dude playing by himself on his porch. To me Zeppelin took an old blues standard that was flat and boring and put it on steroids. Blind was a great guitarist but if anything Zeppelin did more to get him to be known than anyone ever did

Sir James Patrick Page just turned 80 this past January and Plant is turning 76 this August. Also Jimmy did the guitar work on the movie Deathwish II and III. Slide guitar has been used in the Blues since the beginning of time. George Thorogood is a master of playing slide guitar.
