LED ZEPPELIN - THE OCEAN LIVE @ MADISON SQUARE GARDEN *1973* REACTION 🌊

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Yes, the "ocean" is how the crowd looks from onstage - the multitude of people moving look like ocean waves. When Robert sings the lyric "Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who's won my heart. Now she's only 4 years old and that's a real fine way to start." is a reference to his daughter, Carmen. When originally recorded, the lyric is "...Now she's only 3 years old..." but he updated it since by this point, she'd turned 4.

Since i been Loving You is a must from this concert and The Rain Song

[@matslindkvist6990]

Dont forget Paul Jones base riffs in the background. He was always in the background in their live performances but he was really performing here.

[@ralphboyle]

Whole Lotta Love from the same show has to be on deck.

[@budmaynard5952]

This gets my vote as LZ's most dance-able song, hands down. If you aren't moving during this one, check your pulse.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Love this song!

[@anitapaulus937]

I think the “Ocean “ in this song represents the crowd and looking down at them and the crazy. Pretty sure John Bonham got writing credits along with Jimmy and Robert.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Actually, all 4 got writing credit on this. :)

My first concert was Zep at the Munich Olympic auditorium, 1973 & yes, they played "The Ocean"

[@ginger4141]

Jimmy Page is one cool dude! 🎸🥁🔥

[@BarbButler]

💙💜💙💜💙

[@tedsmith7814]

The rare live version that smokes the studio recording. Pure fire.

[@jeremieyvars3235]

Crazy to believe these guys reached that level of complexity: they are just one drum, bass guitar, singer, guitar. Yet, they sound like a full orchestra!

[@annejohnston2193]

Somebody threw him a joint lol

[@27thangel23]

Good eye, Pope- well said. Peace and be safe.

[@anitapaulus937]

I know the blew some amplifiers during the Knebworth concert, I don’t know if Ten Years Gone was right after that or not. This was their first concert after a long layoff, some bugs to work out. Not only that, Jimmy was trying to pull together a guitar performance from the album version that had like 10 guitar overlays within it. You really need to hear the album version of Ten Years Gone. You may have by now.

[@kima.4268]

Great song. Studio version has more guitar tracks and, well better vocals!

[@TheSchuyler75]

one of my biggest regrets in life is not seeing them live before they split up

[@christinerobinson3819]

Everything in this concert is fire

[@PeterTea]

A great jam by a helluva band.

[@mistymountainhop71]

I'm glad you did the live version, imo this is a rare one of theirs that really does come alive while watching them.

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

Bonham is a fucking beast live!!!

[@vickieray]

I subbed just this past week & I’m now caught up!!! I have some suggestions for down the road! “T For Texas” by Lynyrd Skynyrd live from Knebworth!!

[@jilldiable8119]

Love bonzos harmony with Robert on this. Amazing live.x

[@rockertom7]

thx for the honest Zep love!

[@petersugar8787]

One of the best songs ever in the history of music....

[@trendydelquendy]

I do miss Bonham's "we've done 4 already but now we're steady and then they Went, One, Two, Three, Four"

[@annejohnston2193]

Zeppelin is the best rock band EVER

[@mikejacobson14]

Look how close the fans used to be able to get to one of the three greatest bands ever in those days!

[@DC-ih8bv]

With Zep live it’s a lot about body movements and gestures synced to the music as if it’s a release. Watch Jimmy and Robert as they move there bodies with the music. Just like Michael Jackson and Prince did…it’s a release.

[@williamcabell142]

Love this tune...😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gzucc]

I'm convinced. I love you.

[@lindakessler8768]

[@annejohnston2193]

Hiiii

[@deanbriss10]

Of course he wrote that, back then bands used to write their own music.

[@chamberlinfinancialinc.9514]

Watch Dazed and Confused and Whole Lotta Love live at Madison Square Garden 1973. The Ocean is about their audience, the fans in the audience are like an ocean. The fan base was only three years old when the song was written.
