Page & Plant - MOST HIGH - Top of The Pops, March 26th 1998

Page and Plant performing 'MOST HIGH' on BBC's Top Of The Pops, March 26th 1998.

The whole album is fantastic.

[@thomasbragi5103]

fully agree. that sound! wonderful job. Starting with Pictures at 11 I loved every album, excepting Fate of the Nations.

[@propjoe1060]

Great stuff. RIP Michael Lee. Great drummer he was.

[@hunterthompson4588]

I didnt knew he passed.

[@autumnmatthews3179]

Me neither

[@antonioromano7565]

Cosa avrebbero fatto nessuno è in grado di saperlo, certo sarebbe stato un rock probabilmente più vicino ai bei tempi rispetto all'ultimo disco in studio al quale Page ha dato un contributo minimo. Penso che Kashmir sarebbe stata la canzone dalla quale ripartire con le nitide influenze orientali, un rock quindi contaminato dalla world music questo mi sarei aspettato. Immortali.

Very sad, Jimmy went to his funeral - another great loss after Bonham and Michael really filled the slot perfectly.

[@emmeerre5801]

Really 😌🙏🙏🙏

[@luvwings]

This is one badass performance...it's unearthly.

[@MrDeengels]

I saw them on this tour and was lucky enough to see Page with the BC after that. I consider myself privileged to have seen 50% of them greatest band in the world.

[@melissarose0126]

With that kind of luck, I would buy a lottery ticket.

[@nigelthomas589]

Great performance. Killer album with otherworldly material, visceral guitars, moving lyrics and strong vocals!

[@jer0051]

Saw them on both tours so happy that I at least got to see them

[@kathy2trips]

OMG these guys are STILL amazing after 40 years! This song is absolutely mesmerizing. Magnificent!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

This goes to show what might have been if the keeper of the Beat, John Henery Bonham had not passed. This is twenty years out from his death, and 25 years ago today.

[@thelengthmen]

Great sounding tune

[@kiwizeppelin]

Magick!

[@jansafarik6587]

One of my most favourite 🎶

[@pagefire2]

Saw this at Indianapolis. Greatest concert I ever saw.

[@MrDeengels]

I saw them in Pittsburgh the same tour and I agree. The greatest concert I’ve ever been to.

[@RAinteractive]

I nearly fell over with shock when I saw them on TOTP. Poor old Peter Grant wouldn't have been keen, bless him. He's died back in '95.

[@pauljay2305]

Seriously underrated

[@carlascariotte6773]

these guys are excelents

[@edwardscizzorz]

[@coldacre]

Plant sounds even better here than he does on the album! killer performance

[@yahoorich6gt]

Invert baohomet.devils.greatmusic tho.😅😅😅😅

[@pagefire2]

It was good to be around in cool times.

[@rtdunn10]

Great song

[@paulschrum4727]

By skipping the intro of Most High, Top of the Pops demonstrate that they do not understand this song.

[@maratdzgoev7253]

Всем хард рок привет! Пишу уже второй коментарий! Не могу не высказаться! Слушая вторую подряд композицию лед зеппелин! Эмоции прут из меня как ураган! Не устану повторять Роберт плант величайший и непревзойденный импровизатор хард рока! До недавнего времени я так не был близко знаком с зеппелин! Больше слушал дип перпл и назарет! Конечно же зеппелин нечто другое! Дип перпл это экспрессия и тоже импровизация, но Роберт плант в этом приуспел больше других! Всем любителям роеа мой ре пект!!!

[@Erickfripp]

INCREIBLE!...años q no la escuchaba...gratos recuerdos universitarios...

[@Martin-yk6rl]

Temazoooooo x Diosss.

[@luvwings]

Love

[@PeterAquino720]

Crazy to think this was almost 20 years ago already...

[@danm5273]

In a little more than a month it will be.

[@jamesmitchell8922]

Friday 10th April 1998

[@tomtrana3449]

Very high above Kashmir!

[@wackostvshow1509]

JEHOVAH MOST HIGH ........................... THE ONLY TRUE GOD ..................

[@juanreyes7417]

does anyone has the lyrics for this one???

[@RobertWorthLexus300]

Just Google it Most High by Robert Plant' interesting lyrics for sure

[@twikiriwhi]

Stoner rock Monster Magnet../.

[@sambamachineryrecords6498]

THE MOST HIGH . IS THE 1 GOD CALLED [ JEHOVAH ] IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ,,, PEOPLE of EARTH .... PRAISE HIM 24/7/365 DAYS PER YEAR ..... HALLELUJAH

[@cragkeeper]

Yes, I agree... P&P were rather brazen in doing a blasphemous tune like this. Guess they ran out of ideas or didn't steal any other great ideas like Dazed and Confused. They should have kept it simple and Bluesy. But that would have required quality guitar playing and convincing lyrics . It was, in fact , the End of an Era with this.

[@mayablood8668]

Michael Lee is a great drummer, for me is much better than the bored Jason Bonham

[@cragkeeper]

Two things that I found disheartening about this project in 1998. One, nothing on the entire Clarksdale album had any really great guitar playing. So, that's sad to me. (can't play/couldn't play for real at that point?) ....and Two, at the time I found the notion of doing a song called Most High with the then signature "Snake Charmer" music which Plant was stuck in for way too long was in effect a dig against anything even remotely Christian. At least Stairway was thinly veiled in whatever weird stuff they were into. But Most High? But today it just seems sad, if not comical. What is that "trick" geetarr Jim's got in the video? Like push a button and it fakes a different chord pre-sets. LOL! I have a dollar store violin that plays Christmas songs and it looks as thou you're actually playing. again, lol.

[@suburbia67]

The album itself wasn't bad. However, it obviously did not get anywhere near the production standards one would expect with Jimmy Page. But herein lies the dilemma. With Zeppelin (some pre and most post), the buck stopped with Page. He was the producer and he called the shots. With Clarksdale however, he co-produced the album with Plant who clearly had WAY too much control over it. Probably trying to steer away as far as humanly possible from it ever sounding like Zeppelin. Another surprising negative factor was the work of Steve Albini controlling the mixing and engineering stages, again, both departments Page usually has a lot of influence over. Despite Albini having an impressive resume of his own, he clearly falls flat on this one and the overall mix lacks the soul and auditive punch we're usually used to hearing. As for your "trick geetarr" comment, Page installed a TrancePerformance Auto Tuner. Push a button and the guitar tunes itself. If memory serves me correctly, I believe the song is tuned in Open C, which in turn isn't exactly an easy tuning to sustain and keep in tune. I get it though. As great as their 94 and 98 tours were and not to mention their awesome show at the o2, it's not the same anymore. So it's easy to nitpick what was, what is and what should never be.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

This was fantastic stuff. Music evolves. I guess you never did in your life. Ya!

[@dongriffin9701]

Sorry Rob not one of your best

[@joeyhuebner10]

He does great here, though my favorite rendition has to be the Bizarre Festival.

[@albion7000]

Jimmy Page belongs in jail.

[@kristinengel]

Why

[@albion7000]

Because he was in a relationship with an under age girl for 18 months.

[@kristinengel]

You mean under 18 years! Jimmy Page was/is know that he had a relatinship with a minor and Lori Maddox was one of them in the 70th years.Lori was 14 years and Jimmy was 33 years old. Jimmy was a hot man then with a beautiful smile and beautiful green eyes.

[@albion7000]

She was 14..Nuff said.

[@kristinengel]

I think with 72 years Jimmy Page sees still quite good.

[@hazelwalsh3269]

Awful!!! They were always bad Live!!

[@leostawicki7283]

Worthy of Zeppelin
