Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 and went on to become one of the most influential, innovative, and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Jimmy Page brought in John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut which was produced by Page, as were all the subsequent albums. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world.

I'm 71 now and I got to see these guys 4 time in my life. I saw many of the greats; Fats Domino; Jerry lee Lewis: T-Rex; Moody Blues to name a few. Nothing came close to Led Zeppelin. When I watch these videos I still rock out with tears in my eye because they are so great they always stir emotions in me. To those who didn't get the opportunity; all I can say is be happy that you have awesome sound systems and the internet to enjoy them and their music. It moves me reading all your comments. It seems I am not alone in my passion for Zep. Their music will live on as did the greats of our past. Thank you Led Zeppelin for the great memories and the great music you have given us.

[@bazza12121]

I agree man! The best band to have walked the face of the earth!! I'm 27 but they are still my favourite band and I am gutted I will never see them. I don't know what it is but they are just special!! My friend who is 63 now was a full blown hippy and traveled Europe and the uk just chasing the festivals and he said they were just mind blowing. And he still rocks out now. Love it man! Will just have to do our best to educate people about the awesomeness of led zeppelin!!

[@RobertWorthLexus300]

Bazza G I got a feeling your gonna be listening 50 years from now...just like me lol. Your right; they are special. I got to see many of the greats and nobody came close to Zeppelin.

It really moves me hearing comments like yours. Peace

I was so lucky for many years, I played on the East Coast with a drummer, Nick, of Mirage who played like that! He was naturally motivated to literally live drums. He’d have a 12 pack, and count off the songs at crazy fast tempos! Like this, but he was so fucked up, he was able. The rest of us got used to it. I WISH I had video of our shows.

To those people that never got to see Zep live I feel sorry for you because these 4 guys were so powerful and on groove. I saw both of their concerts in 79 at Knebworth. My God they were magnificent. 3.5 hours of heart pumping rock and all for £7.50 a ticket. There are some good rock bands around but these guys were from a different planet. I urge all rock fans to watch anything live by Zep and tell me that you are not amazed like I am. 🤘🏼🎸

Whenever I listen to any live Zep, especially this song...I'm constantly reminded what a machine Bonham was. His feel, the tempo and meter, it's really unbelievable.

[@jawoody9745]

***** He was so incredible playing doubles and triplets on the kick drum, with ONE PEDAL! Unfortunately, when he got drunk, he was also the world's biggest asshole! Still, he is a legend and an inspiration on my own drumming, since I hit the drums as hard as I can, and I'm terribly sorry that he died. I wish he were still with us. But, sober!

***** I was 17 when John B. died and I was only 14 in 1977. I probably didn't even know who Led Zeppelin was in 77 and only started to enjoy them in my 20's. Sometimes I despise Robert Plant but there can be no denying that Led Zeppelin was a phenomenal band. These guys deserve to be called Legends. They were truly the Kings of Rock or at least Hard Rock. And Plant can barely even sing now. He's lost all of his gifts and his looks. Time is a thief. Look at what Plant and Page look like today and you really have to go back and give those guys their due because now they're just old men.

modcraft13 Presence was a Page album. Genius

[@JohnBindon]

modcraft13 It was a Page & Plant album - parts of songs were written in Great Britain & in the US. Of course, Bonham & Jones had their part in it - as they always did. It was for sure a guitar driven album. For the first time in the Zeppelin catalogue no real acoustic songs were featured on the album. Although there is an acoustic track buried on the song "Candy Store Rock." Presence was the first Led Zep album to sell slowly & the first one to hit the "bargain bin" in record stores. You can clearly hear the intensity & tension in the songs for sure, except for Tea For One. Robert Plant recorded all his parts while in a wheelchair.

I love the lyrics to ALS, so many layers, multifaceted - to my mind at least. And the musical arrangement goes without saying - superb and drives deep into the heart and into human psyche, it literally resonates.

[@34rubbersoul]

I friggin love this song

[@dimitrispigadas9705]

Hands down the best band ever

[@DC-cj9se]

I saw this very tour in 1977, in chicago. Never forget it.

[@gussmanning8744]

+D C Awesome

[@RobertWorthLexus300]

+D C Saw them in Seattle in 77. in 75 in Vancouver and in 1970 Montreal. I know what you mean.

[@gussmanning8744]

***** . . . I really like hearing from you all who have seen them playing live while they were still the original 4. I did get to see Page and Plant at Knoxville, TN in the 90's, which was a treat. I'm definitely glad we can watch these earlier video's. Every album (and every single song) they produced was unquestionably a classic, their music is uplifting in a way that puts your mood in a positive spin.

[@jawoody9745]

+D C Saw them in April, 1977. two nights at Riverfront Coliseum. The best concert I've ever seen. Completely eclipses the Who show I saw in 1979, where I came close to losing my life. (I never want to go thru horror like that again)!

[@301concerts]

i was up in the mezzanine at madison square garden at the saturday night performance in 73. maggie bell opened.. footage was used in their movie "the song remains the same". great show.

[@ikarooz]

OMG! How did they keep up that tempo? This is another one of their "underrated" performances of this song. IMHO, Led Zeppelin should be the first description of "incredible", in the English dictionary. We are blessed to hear them, throughout eternity.

[@JorgSchatten]

This songs transports people. When it starts, I'm sitting home in front of my computer and at 10 minutes I'm somewhere else

[@deanquigley1216]

That might very well be the most fan -fuckin-tastic most kick ass hardest rock performance by this band ever , or any band ,holy god almighty, best of the best that has ever been

[@AmberlyC89]

I was in the audience for this concert watching the mighty Led Zep preform this song.... Ah what a great song and great memories. It is something I have never forgotten 35 years later.

[@deborahwagner-tudor3505]

There you are again angel....once again I completely agree with every word. It helps to have been raised in the great Era of 60's & 70's R&R music. Led Zep IS the Holy Grail, bible, or any other Authority when it comes to Genius. They just weren't afraid to take huge risks in Everything. My respect for them only grows,as I get older & am so bored with so much of what-ever they refer to as 'music' today. Everyone who was or is Anyone, learned from Led Zeppelin. Period..

[@angelramondiaz7720]

Thanks well I wasnt a teen in the 70s but I love all the music of the 60s and the 70s I was born in 1970 so real didnt get too experience the whole beautiful music movement which was the 70 s or the earlier 60s which I know must have been fantastic aswell. My time was the 80s the early punk new wave and techno or computer beat music which then rolled into all the hair bands of the 80s. So it was alot of messed musics put together like pizza which was crazy back then. But when I first heard Led Zep I was in high school 18 at the time and this was when supposely metallica or alcohollica which ever name they prefered to call themselves at the tine this was when they were suppose to be the next big thing and just didnt quite get it done. But zep always grabbed me in each album and just blew me so far away. I never heard or even thought that a band like that could even exist or be real. They changed my ear in music forever. They were and in my opinion til this day still are the best. Thanks too them I learned more about and a greater appreciation for the music of the past like the 60s,70s and even further back. When music was real and alive and above all magical. Led inbodies all that beauty power and magic like no other band. Your right music today needs sone serious help.!!! I mean alot of help!!!! Theres very few bands if any now to have any promise aswell as all the other music genre in this time period. Todays music needs alot of work to be done! The music of the past speaks volumes over anything that ive heard now and led zep is the very top of the line cream of the crop you could go. I dont see anyone or band back then or now wrestling there crown away they are too me pure beautiful magic. Nothing even comes close. Just so powerful and beautiful at the same time. Like I said just pure Magic!!!!!! (:

[@deborahwagner-tudor3505]

angel ramon diaz I empathically connected to everything you said (and felt). Sorry you did not live Through those infamous times, point is...you got to appreciate the music of Led Zeppelin. I happen to believe they are the greatist groups(individually & collectively) of the 21st century(Jimmy Hendrix, in my opinion is in that category too). Sheer Magical Genius! I am open to all kinds of music, keep hoping to capture what I felt/feel towards Led Zep...I doubt magic/genius like that comes around too often. I know in 100 yrs.people will still be playing their music, teaching it in schools, etc. Powerful beyond measure & words....

[@LordGreystoke]

Deborah Wagner- Tudor Not to burst your Zep bubble Deborah but Zep LEARNED plenty from those who preceded them. Matter of fact, if you listen to the first three albums, Zep took plenty from other musical bands, ideas, etc....They were not "holy" original. Start listening to bands like Yes and Genesis from that 70's period, more in the prog rock vein, and you will find even more imaginative and transcendent rock music than you thought possible.

[@angelramondiaz7720]

Byron Gordon I agree with you there they learned from a lot of groups and influences previously rather blues or folk or old rock bands ranging from Robert Johnson, muddy waters, Jonnie Mitchell , Hendrix's , the doors etc. The list is huge. But through those influences they did developed there own style and way too play. Also they became these great sponges of musical knowledge. They could absorb from any band or musical artist or medium. Like genesis as you mentioned pink floyd Crosby still and Nash Stevie wonder fleet wood Mac etc. This list is long too of what musical they were able too absorb and capture!!!! But that's another reason why I think of them as the best and yet so magical!!!

[@jungconnell2314]

angel ramon diaz Yeah Ive always been impressed that they played so many styles,most bands only have one sound.

Thing is Zeppelin will never go away. Rock n Roll lives ladies and gentlemen.

[@jawoody9745]

The tour I was so incredibly lucky to see them on, in Cincinnati in April 1977, a sophomore in High School! Their energy on stage was contagious! 3 complete hours of bliss! No opening band. The lights went out at 8 pm, no announcements, and Jimmy danced his way out on stage with the opening lines of "The Song Remains The Same." Robert met him from the other side, dancing as well, and they banged into the song! The best concert of my life!!!

[@hermannmiskelly2759]

I saw this tour in Birmingham forty-five years ago and it still remains the greatest concert I have ever seen. Nothing comes close.

[@Cloudrim]

The best live version of the best song of the best band with some cracking footage to boot. 8:27 onward is the perfect section of raw, mind-bending power, coupled with Robert's amazing "ohhhhh"s starting at 9:06. Just phenomenal all round.

[@seerzion156]

I was there as well and it was three hours of heavy mind rocking music as only Led Zeppelin can do it! Nothing goes down like a Led Zeppelin!

[@PFTome]

The album version of this song stands out for me from everything else they recorded. Not sure why. But I don't question, I'm just glad it exists.

[@johnwilles4636]

John Bonham is the definition of immortal.

[@jawoody9745]

This is great footage! Somebody really took their time and edited it properly. Its not all Jimmy. JPJ gives this song a total workout on bass guitar.

[@jasoli1749]

Hes the reason why the song has such a fucking good powerful bassline man

[@jawoody9745]

This song is heavy! They were so, so, so good! There will never be another.......

[@DDEENY]

And that is an 8-string bass - JPJ was and is an amazing musician. Zeppelin would have never been Zeppelin without him. He was just as indispensable as Bonzo.

[@DDEENY]

Wow, I'd never heard that before, but I did hear that Jimmy Page showed the song's scale to JPJ.

[@EvKrusty]

where'd you hear that? sure, Page wrote the song but I doubt he would presume to tell JPJ what to play.

[@keithcarnegie5060]

Will never forget it it lives with me

[@robertj5881]

That version never ceases to amaze me, and I love how it's cut with video from the energetic shows not the sleepy show

[@marKism69]

Awesome song and quite possible the best song that they play live. So techinical and powerful, the drumming is simply unmatched... rock materpiece.

That’s what made Zeppelin so great . They are all heavy hitters & top shelf musicians . This is some great footage , thanks !

You can really hear JPJ bass in this one. Sounds awesome
