My dad got to see Page & Plant in 95. He got to meet them backstage as well. In the early 70s he got to meet Bonham and John Paul Jones in LA when his boss was selling leather studded jackets to the band on his yacht. He got drink some Heineken with them. My dad passed away 10/12/19 from a rare cancer. He always had amazing memories of meeting famous people especially musicians. He also spent a lot of time in Toronto where he met Elton John and saw The Beatles when he was a kid at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. I miss him for his stories and all the experiences he had in his life. At least we got to see some bands before he passed away. The cancer was so rare that they had to do an autopsy just to find out what killed him. Cherish your parents as much as you can. You only get one set really. RIP Dad. Hope your listening to all your music in heaven.

I love how The Wanton Song is one note higher than the Immigrant song so the key change sounds awesome

[@yragnellaable]

Exactly, that it raises up a semi tone going into wanton song is a nice effect.

It's actually in "G".

[@sullenbode283]

I love how much fun the drummer is having, kicks ass too

[@timwalker2778]

Physical Graffiti was Led Zep's best lp. It's dense rhythms washed away the stale classic rock imitations that were still being played in the mid 1970's and paved the way for punk and post punk to come.

[@DansFlights]

Agree!

[@Beebalabeeba]

My favorite album the funk in it makes for great tunes but I think 2 is their best album start to finish it’s a no skip album if graffiti was a single album with all the best songs on it then it would’ve been a no skip album also

[@daveshere]

I'm floored, it's unreal to think how this took place in 95. At a time when all the metal bands were changing into grunge.., here's 1half of zep. Doing what they've been since 1967. (Awesome) 🤠😎🥁🤘

[@ronniep9272]

They were never a metal band, hard blues rock at most and all they're doing is playing on of their songs from the 70s. No one would have taken a couple of 50 year olds doing grunge seriously anyway.

[@37Dionysos]

Saw this tour and tune in Boston '95. Blew the roof off the building. When my buddy saw 15 strings and 15 percussion either side of the stage he said "Look, it takes 30 people to replace Jones and Bonham!"

[@metrakos]

hell yeah! That drummer did a damn good job....

[@foggythedrum]

I grew up in Scarborough, north of England. One of the first bands this drummer, Michael Lee was in was the "Little Angels". My father taught some of that band at school. Long story short, I bough my snare drum case and drum kit cases from Michael Lee in about 1992. I still have them, and they still have the stickers on from JFK airport from a tour they did. For me, he was the ultimate replacement for John Bonham. For reasons unknown he never really got the credit he was due for his incredible drumming abilities. It's a Hugh shame he is no longer with us as to see him play with Zeppelin, as I did and with other acts. He was a smiling face of nature on the drum throne.

[@cheftekard7165]

Bill Reilly Amen brutha! Greatest band ever...by a LANDSLIDE. Anyone know who this drummer is? Very different feel than Bonham but he ROCKS. I saw plant and page in 1995. I was 18. Totally mesmerized. For some reason though I feel like the O2 arena show they did a few years back was even better than the stuff they did on this tour!

[@bassguitarfan2010]

Cheftekar D the drummer’s name is Michael Lee. He was amazing but passed away in 2008 from an epileptic seizure sadly.

[@cheftekard7165]

bassguitarfan2010 Noooo waaaaay!!!! SO SAD. Thank you for the info. Zeppelin drummers need to stop tragically dying. At least this one didn’t down 40 shots of vodka in an hour 😐

[@cheftekard7165]

Page had a bad tome after Bonham and hit drink bad. He was,the best alive from 68 to 74 no sweat. He had the odd issue with drugs on and off for 12 years but in 1985 to 86 he was back and even the 2007 concert showed at his best he is,the best you legend Jim.

How do you explain visually a Rock Drummer? Show videos of Michael Lee in the 90's with Page and Plant.....nuff said.....

[@vulturnuszan]

saw them there in 98, amazing show. I always liked the wanton song but jimmy's live version of it blows away the album version. They also did how many more times and Jimmy broke out the bow, amazing. Roberts voice wasn't the same but on the whole the show blew me away. Far exceeded expectations.

[@TippiGordon]

Saw them in October '95 and had a crapton of bootleg tapes (yes, tapes) from this tour. The remarkable thing is that Plant's voice seemed to get better and better as the tour went on. By the last leg, he was singing most of the songs with the original melody in the original key.

No one makes music like that anymore. What a shame.

[@guitarttimman]

I remember once when i had to choose between seeing Van Halen and Led Zeppelin. I chose Zep, and I"m glad. Van Halen is a master guitarist, but he did not write music like Jimmy Page did. I did also see Van Halen before. I loved 'em, but not like Led Zeppelin.

[@john-kl3ux]

They didnt steal music like led zeppelin either😂 page is the man though.

[@turdfurgusson]

EVH was a different kind of musician. He was a good guitarist, but not very original. He also couldn't play the blues like Page could (only Hendrix and Clapton have him matched in that regard, IMO). But he was a very good keyboardist, and Page probably couldn't play the keyboards.

[@sofiac3242]

John Mullen Zeppelin has stated time and time again that they were so fed up with critics at the time because everybody accused them of stealing music but nobody understood what they were trying to do. What they were trying to do was revolutionize rock n roll. Should they have given credit? Perhaps, however that was their exact point. They wanted to take rock that already existed and turn it into rock and roll fixed with blues folk tunes and an acoustic sound. They wanted to make something unlike anything anybody had ever heard before. This angered critics in the 70s because they didn’t understand but they’ve said this time and time again. It was meant to be a sort of “stick it to the man” type of move. Also they have plenty of originals too. I do agree with you on the Jimmy is the man part of your argument. Zeppelin rocks. Also comparing Van Halen and Led Zeppelin is like comparing apples to oranges though for many reasons

[@yes-qi8ng]

Ngl thats a pretty hard question Also dont mind the profile pic

[@mohammedabduallah8392]

Was Eddie Van Halen not original? He changed everything with Van Halen’s first album. He was as original as it gets and probably the most influential rock guitarist behind chuck berry and Hendrix. What Eddie Van Halen did was totally new for its time.

[@dylanwatson1287]

I heard Peter Grant was at this show just four months before his death. They paid tribute to him during the show.

[@___David___Savian]

Sadly this great drummer on this video died thirteen years after this performance. RIP Michael Lee. Sorry, but to me Michael was a better drummer than Jason (John Bonham's son). Although if you all want to hear the best Jason has ever played drums look up on KZbin two songs from Jason's former group called Bonham. The songs are Wait For You and the song Guilty. Jason played the hell out of those two songs and the songs even sounded like Led Zeppelin.

[@randybutternubs1209]

he must have been having an off night cuz there are shows immediately surrounding this one where he wasnt cracking this badly

[@alex-ee4uo]

rodentcafeteria i heard he used to not warm up before shows so this is probably a result of it

[@turdfurgusson]

His vocal range and singing ability was unmatched in his early career, but unfortunately, it didn't have staying power. Even during the Zeppelin days, look at the difference between the first two albums and the 1975 sessions of Physical Graffiti. He had lost a lot of power to his voice. Years of smoking and screaming took its toll. He did have vocal cord surgery, which restored the clarity, but his range was never the same.
