Led Zeppelin - Behind The Music | PART 3 (REACTION)

[@michaelgray4964]

Led Zep IV is currently at 37 million sold. One of the best selling albums of all time.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Laa and Chee , I really enjoy your enthusiasm for Led Zeppelin , I feel like the old days of hanging out with good friends and turning them on to a new great album!! The whole key was they got it! And you guys get it for sure!!! Nothing like getting the Led out!!!

[@wiredhorn87]

Extraordinarily talented musicians and composers. Plant and Page were especially cerebral in their intellect and also highly charismatic. Those two things in tandem is what ended up pushing them over the top. Talent like this comes around every 50 to 100 years.

[@pt9167]

The new documentary is gonna be all about the music. No stories about their personal lives or tales about groupies and drugs. Just the music. That's why Page gave it his blessing. Premiers February 7th. Check it out.

[@RazzleDazz72]

Can’t wait!

[@brianlafrazia8237]

Nice. Where will this be broadcast?

[@ursgeiser6570]

Sometimes it's good when a fan knows something about the background. JP and JB had "a lot of guts to sweat out," which is why they both sounded so dominant, sometimes even monotonous and repetitive, in most of PG's songs; JP produced the album as always. In this uniform hard rock phase with repetitive riffs, the magic of the albums had disappeared for me. I subsequently attended two more concerts, including one in 1980, and I have to say that I found these later songs to be better mixed both instrumentally and vocally live, and that RP still had that unique bluesy vocal color. Everyone has their own taste in music✌.

[@pt9167]

@@ursgeiser6570 Sure. smh

[@benhinds2971]

The first line of Plant's biography made a point that I had not occurred to me. He said something like, 'when Zep ended he felt his music career was over, and he was 32!' That's pretty young. But he had experienced a lifetime by the age of 32!

[@mikefetterman6782]

Led Zeppelin 1968-1980. Nivana 1988-1994 Led Zeppelin got popular in early 1969, just as the Beatles were splitting up. They reigned until the 1980 wave of 'New Wave" and MTV artists to come later. The members of Nirvana were still in junior high when Led Zeppelin broke up.

[@mikefetterman6782]

In the 70s there was a LOT of parents and older "kids" who were convinced L. Z. were devil worshippers. They were sure Robert was paying the price for the bands talent, as payment to Satan. The new wave of "Satanic Panic" was starting strong at the end of LZ's run and with other bands like ACDC.

[@ingibjorggujonsdottir3760]

In Iceland we are lucky to have a very young rock group called The Vintage Caravan, they now play Led Zeppelin tribute concerts here in Reykjavik every year. Last year, in an audience of 1600 people, they asked how many of you saw Led Zeppelin in their Reykjavik gig in June 1970, 54 yrs later, and about a third of the audience responded, and I was there, I saw them experience the land of ice and snow and hot springs, and the midnight sun, before they wrote Immigrant Song! Best regards, Immy.

[@sicotshit7068]

@@ingibjorggujonsdottir3760 yes being there inspired The Immigrant song, & is one of their most popular songs, I just wish it was longer.

[@bowtiefidenine]

I count myself lucky to have seen Led Zeppelin in Oakland California July 23rd 1977 the last concert in America 😢❤ Rest in peace Bonzo

[@dbclassic8733]

One thing that was mentioned but it's hard to describe the size and scope was how BIG they were how big the shows become breaking Beatles attendance records and charts etc AND how completely MYSTERIOUS they were. So getting to a concert to see them was the only way to know anything about them. Jimmy Page constantly says, that how ever many shows they put up they would sell out, they literally couldn't satisfy demand

[@membysteph64]

Great reaction La/Che the Zep machine will never be duplicated. There is a reason why they are one of the 🐐 🐐 . I hear through the grapevine release date of Feb- Mar on Netflix for the Zeppelin movie (documentary). I believe it will be the real deal? Robert Jimmy and JPJ all have had a hand in the making of it. They all have approved of it. Happy Holidays and keep on doing what you are doing. Best in the business.

[@EclecticInstinct]

Thanks guys. I have been a fan of Led Zep since my teenage years in the 60s and 70s. But I had never watched this docu, mantary until you featured it in neat watchable chunks with your commentary added also. Great reactions. Very grateful to you for bringing this into my later life.

[@aldower3390]

Imagine selling 50000 tickets in 2 hours back then! No internet or websites then, no mobile phones people went and bought them, probably queuing for hours.

[@mikefetterman6782]

I was lucky enough to see Plant and Page in concert in Albany NY in 1997, for the Walking Into Clarksdale album. The show started with 3 songs from the new album, and then went straight into nearly 3 hours of Zeppelin.

[@Michael-Philip]

Bands used to (still do) get cash under the-table to evade taxes. The money was stolen from the hotel safe, so it’s not as if it was in their pockets.

[@Neillybob63]

Hey guys, if you include AC/DC in the hard rock category, then their album 'Back in Black' would be the biggest selling record of the genre, with sales of over 50M copies sold. And this being an older video, it doesn't show the most up to date numbers for Led Zeppelin 4, which as of 2024 has sold over 37M copies, more than double the number mentioned.

[@KennyCamaro2364]

They always said that Presence album was Pages baby and the Out Door was JPJ’s and Robert’s album Laa and Chee.

[@susiedawson3349]

The documentary called 'Becoming Led Zeppelin', co-produced by Jimmy Page, will debut in IMAX theaters on February. 7. I plan to see it that day! Great review of this VHI special, La and Che. I always enjoy your reviews of Zep and The Allman Brothers. 2 of my favorite bands. Thank you. 🥰

[@esoomynona5813]

Guys you have to get tickets for 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' which will be playing at IMAX cinemas on 7th February 2025

[@sicotshit7068]

Don’t wait to buy tickets either.

[@neillenet291]

Led Zep 4 sold 37 million, AC/DC Back in Black sold 50 million copies.

[@Renkk17]

This was all the 1970's the band broke up when the drummer John Bonham passed away in 1980 (Nirvana didn't start till the 90's Grunge ) Everyone used Cash back then they didn't have cards, computers or cell phones back in the day!

[@Ziggywillow1957]

Great reaction. You should dive into Robert Plant solo career and also Page’s. U also need to check out Plant and Page 1994 album “No Quarter”. I was fortunate enough to see that tour in 1994.

[@joescott8877]

Yeah I can't wait to see how "Becoming Led Zeppelin" is. Wonder if they'll allow much of the more unsavory things to be told in it. Be cool if there was new concert footage "from the Archives," too! La, you guys are so spot on with the speculation about how the internet would've changed so much about Zeppelin's image and , really, all the other bands back then, too. Impossible to say how rock history might have been different if phone cameras, Twitter and Facebook had been around during Woodstock, haha!

[@sicotshit7068]

If you haven’t bought tickets yet, I highly recommend you do. There’s only 200 IMAX theaters in the US playing it, & February 7th with two shows that day. Who knows when it will be released any other way, tickets are only $20. I have to drive 110 miles to see the closest one to me.

[@sicotshit7068]

I know it’s supposed to be footage from early concerts, recent interviews with them, & a never before seen one of Bonham. I highly doubt it will be anything unsavory. In an interview Page said after his passing, a book will come out, & it is going to piss some people off.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Thank you for this, it was so fun to watch it with you & get the whole story laid in in chronological order, while the icon Steven Tyler was narrating! Steven Tyler & Joe Perry (Aerosmith guitarist) inducted Led Zeppelin into the Rock n Roll HoF, they're good friends. Would be awesome if we could all watch the upcoming LZ doc together on this channel!! It's authorized by the band so it should be really great. Great reaction as always!

#1 biggest hard rock selling album: AC/DC, Back in Black (50 mill). #2 Led Zeppelin, LZ 4, (37 million). Then #3 Bon Jovi, Slippery When Wet, #4 Guns N Roses, Appetite for Destruction, #5 Metallica, The Black Album. (Nirvana's 'Nevermind' sold 30 million copies) So Led Zeppelin staying up there with #2 is pretty amazing after all these years!

[@scottalpert3444]

Well done! Loved watching the whole series. All the money, power, acclaim and it all boils down to each of us is Human with human feelings. Again great job and sorry about the world series, The Yankees just ran into a buzz saw.

[@26shedan]

this story is also a limited version. I have read every available book on Zeppelin, all from different points of view. You kind of have to get a rough idea of the truth from all with a grain of salt. They didn't mention that Robert's wife was almost killed in the accident where Robert broke his leg. Also, as far as the guy who supposedly slapped Peter Grant's kid-no one saw it and it was said the guy just forceably took away the sign his kid was trying to make off with. Grant's son told his dad the guy hit him so that story is up for debate. Regardless, when a 9 year old kid says something you get some facts before beating the crap out of someone. It was a violent assault and luckily didn't turn into a murder. I Love Zeppelin but I really feel it was close to over when Bonham died. Jimmy in the throws of heroin addiction and Bonham an alcoholic with rage issues.

There is a new Doc coming out. The only authorized doc on the band. I think it's called being Zeppelin.

[@joescott8877]

Greetings, Airplayers! I've just emerged from the Rabbit Hole to tell you it's actually kind of hard to determine if Zep IV was the biggest-selling "hard rock" album of all time. So many dif. lists, with dif. classifications. (& Zep and Pink Floyd, etc, aren't just "hard" rock, of course) One had MJ's "Thriller" listed as "Hard Rock"! Whaaat. Apparently "IV" has sold 23, not 15 mil. copies, but AC/DC's "Back in Black" has sold 25 (Both are US only). Nirvana's "Nevermind" "only" sold 10 mil. What I found more interesting were the two lists below here. The first is for total album sales by ("Hard Rock") GROUP. Zep on top, no contest (YES! lol) The second is the best-selling albums that came out the same year as Zep IV, 1971. Alice Cooper and Sabbath were busy in '71, lol! Led Zeppelin (111.5 Million) AC/DC & Pink Floyd (75M) Aerosmith (66.5M) Metallica (63M) Van Halen (56.5M) Guns N’ Roses (44.5M) Def Leppard (35.5M) Queen & Creed (35M) Bon Jovi (34.5M) Pearl Jam (31.5M) LED ZEPPELIN - IV : 23,000,000 BLACK SABBATH - Paranoid : 4,000,000 JETHRO TULL - Aqualung : 3,000,000 THE WHO - Who's Next : 3,000,000 BLACK SABBATH - Master Of Reality : 2,000,000 ALICE COOPER - Killer : 1,000,000 GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - Survival : 1,000,000 GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - E Pluribus Funk : 1,000,000 JIMI HENDRIX - The Cry Of Love : 1,000,000 ALICE COOPER - Love It To Death : 1,000,000

2 seconds in comment, can't wait for this. Synopsis below. Also was about to be outraged by 2k subs but rebranding is a thing, continue. That Zeppelin movie's gotta be right. Don't believe the hype, find out for yourself what Magick in Theory and Practice means. This is what some people call the lost Led Zeppelin song, performed by Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers at MSG for a benefit concert in 1983. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqa2nHVpnrqYjLs Good luck to you guys, I see you have branched in your endeavour. May your work bear the fruit it deserves. Also maybe it's just me but I grow tired of Steven Tylers continued snarkiness, those underhanded lyrics he likes to throw around. It's like his ego can't handle the fact that he can never come close to the esteem in which they are held, and he is not, nomsayin. Aerosmith were a pop band for poprock fans, in all honesty I'm not sure how I could pretend to even have the balls to talk about Led Zeppelin. There is no measure by which Aerosmith can equate to Led Zeppelin. It's like hearing the spice girls narrate a Led Zeppelin documentary.
