Led zeppelin - Four sticks live 1971

[@smith9808]

Plants voice from 71 was greatest ever. Never heard anything like it. If only they professionally recorded shows from that era ☹️😢😭😭😭😭😭

[@rondarnell949]

No joke, I would love to see this on video ! Would have loved to see it Live also. probably wouldn't remember it if did

[@bubinga_basher]

Absolutely.

[@Monoaux]

1 April 1971, Live at the BBC

[@danielleal1037]

Indeed, 1971 had Plant’s voice at its absolutely finest. Lucky for us there are those BBC sessions to preserve those sounds for eternity.

[@candicewitzkoske3155]

Nice to look at as well!

[@MrSimi71]

The rhythmic timing of this song is just insane. No band nowadays would have the balls to compose such a song, nevermind performing it live in concert.

[@robertacolarette1594]

How do they sound so tight live? Greatest of all time.

[@candicewitzkoske3155]

Real talent! Unlike the garbage forced on us today.

[@tirtha11]

Fuck. This is like a sonic assault. Imagine, what the crowd must be going through. they must have been on fire man. In fact, that small pause, when the song finishes, almost like the crowds took a gasp before they start to clap. Amazing. The greatest band ever.

[@aschule5684]

What a treat for the audience, such a powerful song and not one they played live as a rule because they said it was too hard. I thought that sounded awesome. One of my most favorite Zeppelin tunes to play on guitar. It's a very satisfying song to play. Zep 4 was my introduction to this band and Jimmy Page at the tender age of 9 when it came out and an older upstairs neighbor played the album for me and it was a magical life changing event. Living in trauma and sadness with the recent demise of the Beatles it felt like everything good music wise had died for me. The Beatles really made me want to play music, and then Zeppelin came into my life and made it happen 👍

Robbie Plant at his HOTTEST!

[@JuarezFilho-u5v]

LED Zeppelin pauleira total total 🇧🇷🔥🤘🏽🎤🎹🎸🥁☮️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@murilogoulart4935]

In 1973, they're in Scotland and Plant and Bonzo got a car failure so the decided to take ask help walking in a open cold windy riad ... later, during the gig, Plant got fever and lost his voice, serious throat problems. From this time on, he's voice was never the same again, even to talk. All next gigs and albums Jimmy + Jonesy re adapted the tunes for Robert's new reality.

[@corkskrewclubhouse93]

this is such an underrated zeppelin song i think it's awsome

[@rondarnell949]

Always been one of my favorites. Don't recall ever hearing it Live the audio is pretty bad but I can still hear how great they are through all the static

[@LarryApperson]

The reason this is called four sticks? The greatest drummer of all time played this with four sticks! Two in each hand!

[@rondement8162]

⏳ Timeless

[@mp3872]

Wish I was there. GOATs

[@davidlm6974]

Plant's voice is at it's absolute peak in this performance. Brilliant.

[@harvlinny8148]

This shows that his singing voice was a studio creation

[@tirtha11]

Wow what a rarity. They indeed sound like Gods. Rumbling down from heaven like thunderbolts and typhoons. The hammer of the Gods. Led Zeppelin forever.

[@ÑEZ0688]

1971....what a year. Led Zeppelin IV and Sticky Fingers

[@nelsano3]

This is unbelievably good!!!!! It has a crazy time signature in this song, you can hear stuff like this with bands like Sepultura: a kind of futuristic heavy tribal music... Jimmy page has got alot to answer for, many, many bands were allowed in because of the doors Led Zep opened.

[@roberthernandez8548]

4-Palos

[@Scoobydcs]

that voice!!!!! its like a god damn air raid siren!

[@fluxdust]

stunning performance... RP's voice was in top form...

[@charlescrampton5119]

I grew up in the best of times😂 zep was the best.......heaven on earth!

[@bennytude]

Thought I'd heard it all from these guys. What a revelation! Thanks for sharing. Some of their best shows are from 71. Great Plant performance. He never sang quite the same after this year.

[@SpenceMcComb]

My god (Jimmy Page), young Plant's vocals get me every time. What a voice the guy had; unbelievable.

[@johnjhuff]

1971, a great year for music... LZ IV, Who's Next, DP Fireball, Yes Yes Album + Fragile, Alice Cooper Love it to Death + Killer, Bowie Hunky Dory, Marvin Gaye What's Going On, Funkadelic Maggot Brain, Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers, Lennon Imagine, Sly +FS There's a Riot Goin' On, I could go forever....

[@C.S.Sensei]

Never be another band at that time, 60s, 70s that changed culture like them, maybe the biggest impacts with, Elvis, Beatles, Ali, Elton John..etc I first listened to Zep when I was 13-14, 1974-75, I'm 60 now, and still jam the Zep occasionally. I've come to appreciate other songs more than Stairway to Heaven,, I appreciate songs like Ten Years Gone, Achilles last stand, Presence..etc even more now.

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

I’m the same brother 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Matthew_Eitzman]

Bonzo used four sticks. How many sticks are in that bundle on that picture of the hermit on the album cover? Enough to make ‘im hunch over.

[@hurin_thalion11]

one of my favorites, rare to hear it live sweet

[@mjt11860]

i tried playing this at this speed. impossible for me. i don't know how page is able to keep it up for that long.

[@scohort1]

Four Sticks - think about it - awesome, esp live

Can you imagine this song in high quality? In Lp? That concert? Press on 300grm... my godness...

[@mpcLZ1888]

led zeppelin IV is probably one of the best albums ever

[@aschule5684]

I agree a masterpiece from start to finish!

[@RockFan98]

The only performance of this song shame really would have made a great song to continue to play live

[@juliemanarin4127]

Only time they've done it live!!

[@mikearmistead4426]

Dam, wish the mike was somewhere near the drum set to pick up those 4 sticks playing.

[@Luzzeppelin]

BLABLABLA ZEPPELIN RULES!! ZEPPELIN SONG; ZEPPELIN Video, BEATLES INST HERE OK?

[@scarredman42]

I am a drummer & it is tricking for me to do this song. it switches between 5/4 to 6/8.

[@craggy1969]

I stand corrected, simply because i have seen a ticket stub just now from this gig, and you are right, it's May, great gig tho i think we all agree! Play it loud buddy, Peace.

[@TheDataMaestro]

@40Rtruss my ears are still ringing from their concert at Madison Square Garden in the late 70s

[@craggy1969]

Yeah def June, i have the whole gig on bootleg, awesome gig and this song is a high-light for sure, cheers!

[@alberttalbot9534]

I’ve been to that house!! I was going to take down the greenhouse! Oh yeah btw four sticks is prob my most played zep track

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

Thought it was June 3rd, May 3rd, 1971 I was12! This is awesome! Raw, forceful and off the cuff!

[@ShaemusTOFinnigan]

sorry amigo...you have the venue correct..but HERE is the straight ups for ya...MAY 3RD (Copenhagen as you know) in front of about 4,000 fans. Only known performance of Four Sticks by the way. Anyways, Zeppelin DID NOT play ANY gigs in June '71. They played 2 more after this gig (MAY 4TH - Odensen; MAY 10TH Liverpool) Then they were OFF until the MILAN ITALY gig on JULY 5TH (their ONLY show in JULY) where the infamous Vigorelli Velodrome RIOT broke out ! (next gigs were in MONTREUX, AUG 7&8th)

[@MrSistermaryelephant]

Zeppelin were a live band as opposed to a studio band. People always question the "metal" element based on the studio recordings. This here kids is metal. Nothing goes down heavier than Led Zeppelin

[@dopeofgods]

true!

[@bws1971]

And here we have the reason why Robert Plant is the greatest front man of all time.

[@charlesmurphy3222]

Led Zeppelin played this like if The WHO was doing it. Pure rage rock. Led Zeppelin played like that live ever since. The Who pushed first. LZ pushed back. They then pushed each other.

[@SWarneke]

thanks for putting this up! this is the only live performance of "Four Sticks"

[@marclivingood]

There was a small and rare window when Plant could sing the real melodies to the songs this recording is a treasure of a special time in music

[@kairumon]

the only live of this song... and great LIVE!

[@Earthdogbonzo3]

@nelsano3 Alternating time signatures of 5/8 and 6/8. He got the riff from Pakastani street musicians in around 69 or 70, there is a recording of that session where flute plays the main thematic riff, that and all the chaos of these musicians going back and forth in their native tongue! Also from that session: Friends.

[@אפריים.אברמוביץ]

Long live Led Zeppelin!!!! ❤️💜🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@cristianisami1102]

Saludos a los fan ZEPPELIN manden videos❤❤❤

[@elevatorsfan]

First and Last performance of this gem

[@dmr9767]

Recuerdo perfectamente la primera vez que escuche esta cancion y el lp. Fue en el 97 o el 98 , yo tendria unos 12 o 13 años. A mi padre le dejaron el vinilo para poder grabarlo en una cinta. Flipaba con Led Zeppelin. En el colegio estaba dandole vueltas a las canciones en la cabeza, hasta que llegaba a casa y lo ponia. Estuve un tiempo bastante enfermo con Led Zeppelin. Luego compre con mi dinero el II y flipaba aun mas , y a dia de hoy pienso que es mejor que el IV. A dia de hoy no pasa ninuna sola vez que recuerde a Jeff Beck cuando oigo a Page tocar. Fue su influencia por antonomasia y al que no llego a superar. Escuchad Jeff Beck Group "Truth " y las canciones de los Yardbirds en las que estuvo Beck

[@f.polytropos]

+davidplatero para mi los primeros 4 albumes de led zepplin tienen el mismo nivel de calidad (mi favorito es el 1)

[@dmr9767]

+federi-cosa yo creo que el II fue el que mas me impacto

[@larvael32]

PAGE SE LE ADELANTÓ A BECK POR UNA MILLA, AHÍ ESTA LA HISTORIA QUE TE LO DEMUESTRA. PREGÚNTALE A LA GENTE QUE TE CANTE UN TEMA DE JEFF BECK Y DESPUÉS DE ZEPPELIN Y MIRA QUE OCURRE. PAGE ES UN GENIO QUE BECK NO PUDO SUPERAR, SORRY JEFF...

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

To my knowledge,this is the only live performance by Led Zeppelin of this tune...

[@sakalak]

Wow. Better than the studio version.

[@СТАРИК-с4и]

ВЕЛИКАЯ И ЛЕГЕНДАРНАЯ ЧЕТВЕРКА!!!!!

[@luckyirvin]

hang on

[@MOSKII58]

they did a good job, it seemed like it sped up a bit at the 2nd 1/2 of the song, but how many bands would even perform a song w/ several weird time sigs.. thats why they were the "Mighty Zep" r.i.p. Bonzo

[@dreamsofreasonmusic]

WOW. Unreal...Plant's singing on this live version is absolutely unbelievable!

[@alekid]

Man! Didn't know this recording existed! They played it so well live, damn. I wonder why they never did it again. It was perfect.

[@Maidenhead67]

The timing of the song was really difficult to play live that's why they didn't play it much live

[@youngurd]

This might be the only live of this song ever

[@Rich6Brew]

@@Maidenhead67 5/8 and 6/8? Hardly difficult if you can count.

[@Maidenhead67]

@@Rich6Brew yeah I never learned how to count thanks Neil Peart

[@capitangorila4899]

Four Sticks sound to Blues with a little of Hard Rock and also got a Barroccoo part , so what kiind of music is this song ?

[@seinfeld8812]

A rare gem indeed...thanks

[@Conneyfogle]

This was on the 3rd of May

[@francescaemc2]

Che meraviglia!!!!

[@craggy1969]

Excellent, thanks for that, i'm impressed!

[@Conneyfogle]

Yeah, you're right, but on the album Wonderful Copenhagen and indeed a book I have, it says May 5th, judging by the next gig in Stockholm on the 6th June, I tend to go with the 5th of June too.

[@Conneyfogle]

I have it on one of my playlists, check 'em out! The album cover is on there

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

the best vocal performance of Robert Plant.

[@khuddle]

69-72. But wow he was on form for this number.

[@bmad0]

roberts voice at peak performance is like a razor blade asaulting you with nothing but pure talent and greatnes.

[@CheBellaTelevisione]

just when you think you've heard every zeppelin bootleg under the sun... incredible.

[@justsomemincedgarlic]

good thing peter grant didnt spot whoever recorded this. haha from what ive read and heard, this guy wouldnt have left the gig under his own power. but i am glad that they got this recorded. amazing stuff here.

[@ShaemusTOFinnigan]

Allow me to bring EVERYONE up to speed... This show (only known performance of Four Sticks) WAS in Copenhagen at KB Hallen, ON MAY 3RD, '71. The PREV show was APR 1ST at the Paris Cinema Theatre, London UK (the famous BBC Sessions show - John Peel's In Concert for Radio One) which was 1st broadcast 3 days later (April4th). The NEXT show (after Copenhagen) was in ODENSEN, Denmark on MAY 4TH. The FOLLOWING show was MAY 10th in LIVERPOOL. ZEP DIDN"T play in Sweden in 71, much less Stochholm. peace

when you hear the album and listen to what bonzo is doing it is simply from another planet! thanx for sharing! are there any videos of bonzo playing this song??

[@aschule5684]

Neat little piece of trivia if you didn't know, he actually used (4 sticks) to play this song!

[@rondarnell949]

Holy Shit . That is fucking GREAT ! ✌️

[@m1garandisthebest]

We meet again, my friend

[@Banner1979]

@Kikoune974 I think it was in his throat, something to do with his vocal chords. It was mentioned in the biography Hammer Of The Gods.

[@45ounce]

It does have that effect.I agree!

[@stevenworth353]

Titans

[@specialness16]

the voice! you can tell where chris corell gets his influence from :P it's a shame the technique they used messed their voices up though :/

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Chris sang with distortion, though. Plant always sang clean.

[@45ounce]

I stand corrected. May 3rd its is.

[@rhyknow09]

a reference to bad press in 70's , "four sticks" in the mud

[@corkskrewclubhouse93]

this is such an underrated zeppelin song

[@grin64]

Les Zeppelin just clicked it was a life changer for me and the gang in the 70s man I had some good times we partied so had.

[@jlk792]

i love how plant is actually hitting the high notes. he rarely ever did that live. definitely one of the best songs, off one of the best albums, of one of the best bands of all time. i wish there was video footage of this though

[@billiardsgirl1962]

wish they had video on this so we could see bonzo playing with four drum sticks, two in each hand . how awesome is that.
