Led Zeppelin - Live in Tokyo (September 23rd, 1971) - 8mm film (Source 2+3 mix)

All credit goes to the filmer for this incredible footage! I finally got around to putting a completionist version of this together on this lazy Sunday.

[@ledzepfilm]

A few notes: -Hopefully, if the filmer/uploader is viewing this, he can put out a complete version of both films on KZbin. I don't make any money from any of my videos, so uploading this is purely for the love of the band. There's supposedly about 40 minutes and this video is about half of it. This deserves to be seen in the most unedited form, as this is some of the best LZ footage ever!!!! -This is both KZbin videos put together. -I've resynced the whole thing with the circulating audience tapes, though I left the filmer's/uploader's recording in for a few spots in Whole Lotta Love as the sound quality was far better. -There are two film sources here. A few clips that were originally in Communication Breakdown were actually from Good Times Bad Times (both cameras were running simultaneously for a few moments). I've elected to put the two sources together in order without splitscreens. The first source is a slightly wider aspect ratio than the second. -The filmer/uploader put in a few title cards, transitions, repeated clips, etc. I've removed all of these in favor of a raw viewing experience.

OMG this is incredible. Thanks for all of your hard work in bringing this to us and thanks to the filmer. Id love to see all 40 minutes.

[@fernandomenjivar79]

What happened with those 40 minutes? It's been a long time.

[@prakashbahadurshah7294]

Thanks bro uploading this gem...

[@Palefirecreative]

Thank you for doing this.

多分このフィルムは、放送関係者によって撮影された物で、ある種の編集中？のフィルムの一部でしょう

[@chrisattigliato1]

Guys can we all agree that this is the golden goose of all Zep footage? A clear audience recording and full on perfect footage of the band on stage playing in their prime no doubt. Plant and pages skills are hot and you got 40 MORE minutes of this ?? Cmon it can’t get any better than this !! Been waiting a long time and just felt like I went to my first Zep concert.

[@davidaliberti5742]

This is equivalent to The Holy Grail IMO

[@alexkx8599]

No. 40 minutes total.

[@patrickm.warren55]

Transported back to Tokyo ‘71. Amazing

[@josephfuller7008]

My God John Bonham is 10 levels above any other drummer. I knew this all along but this video proves it!

[@jdevine42]

This is the best bootleg vid WITH sound Ive seen of Zep as they approached their absolute pinnacle of excellence (in 1972)

It's a gift! 😍 The era I would have lived...

[@luvbasses5487]

Boy…we’ve come a long way, huh? My love affair w these Japan shows started in 1985 with the b&w picture disc set of Osaka 29.9.71. In fact all we had back then was; Zoso magazine by Taylor (I’ve still got all my mailings!) and Tight But Loose by Dave…and record shows. With the advent of the internet some 10 years later it made the world a small place. It’s absolute heaven for a Zeppelin fan-til-death such as myself. This footage I’ve been waiting for since those innocent mid eighties days. Thank you for posting it! My good mate over at LZ Boots told me about it being over here. I viewed it a year or so ago but it just popped up in my feed today. It’s such a pleasure to watch. Many thanks again.

[@georgeseif102]

I think I paid almost $40 for the record in 1985. 40 dollars was a small fortune back then.

[@bishlap]

This is LIFE-CHANGING, sort of, but it is a REVELATION OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.

[@pappyodanial]

Wish Jimmy never did drugs... This was his best live playing next to Osaka. Probably because couldn't get drugs in Japan lol

[@Paneeks1960]

F~a~n~t~a~s~t~i~c. The sharpest copy that I have seen of this show so far. Actually the most completed version that I have seen to date. You are the best LZF~ Rob/Boston

[@peterjuff]

Amazing! Would love to see this in its entirety, but 20+ minutes is super!

[@patricksommer3971]

The Heartbreaker guitar break/ solo is almost identical to the one on How the west was won. Didn't know it was that consistent

[@federalisticnewyorkians4470]

Robert Plant prancing around with Jimmy Page rocking all along and Bonham batting off like a wild animal, can't forget JPJ with his monster bass. Top of the rocknroll world.

[@Petenati2010]

Whoa, Orange amps! Man am i sold on them!! My little micro terror i got gives me the sound i was always looking for. Definitely getting a bigger one at some point. It's got that tone. Man, Japan just has always had some of the greatest rock and metal fans. God bless ya Japan!

[@richardkeller4193]

Closest thing I've seen yet to a full live version of Immigrant. SO much footage, SO many times they opened a show with it, yet they always seem to miss this one song. Thanks!!!

[@aumoccbei3197]

it's really great at 20:03 when Plant leads the band into You Shook Me and it's clearly unplanned, Page needs a roadie to get him the slide. Then they deliver a perfect version of a song that was last a fixture of their setlists two years earlier!

This is amazing I didn't know there was any footage of this. This version of the solo in immigrant song has always been one of my favorites and its awesome to see theres footage of the entire solo. Hopefully theres video of the whole show, would love to see the full version of SIBLY, another one of my favorite versions.

昭和の当時、一組のアーチストとして3時間30分間ほどの長いコンサートが出来たこと自体、時代を感じます。8ミリでのこっていたとは！ ブートとして原版を販売した場合(オークションで)は100万～の値段が付く代物ですよ！

1971: Immigrant song still part of the set list, Pagey and Bonzo flying, Plant still had his complete vocal range...whats not to like?

[@Sentientfx1]

Great stuff. I wonder if AI can improve the quality?

[@Studio-62]

I always thought Plant sounded a lot like Janis Joplin in this period, when he was singing in his upper register.

[@DeborahParham-ve1vp]

Who cares why? Better late than never. Just sit back and ENJOY.

[@alexkx8599]

@@DeborahParham-ve1vp Because we have been told for decades that things like this didn't exist...or you know...at least in commercial quality...and maybe that is some of the deal here...though, I'm not a hundred percent sure about that...in that it couldn't be used for a commercial release at all. With all due respect...are you KIDDING ME?! I'm 46 and have spent SO much of my existence (I'm exaggerating and I know it is ridiculous) crawling on my hands and knees wishing to God there was more footage...and here it is! There's usually a story with things like this, eh!

@@alexkx8599 I'm on the downhill slide to 73. I was lucky enough to see them live once. Compared to that these videos are just gravy. Like I said before just sit back and ENJOY. It will NEVER be as good as actually having seen them live in their prime, but is better than nothing.
