REACTION TO Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Live at Celebration Day)

[@jjack2780]

Why Zeppelin was the greatest, they had a request for 20 million tickets for this concert

[@johnsample5628]

The O2 holds about 20,000, but when the announced Led Zeppelin was going to do a full length show 20,000,000 people tried to get tickets. Wrap your head around that!

[@tektoniks_architects]

This was the third song in that night. Up until Black Dog, it was hard to guess how this night might go. They did good versions of Good Times Bad Times and Ramble On to open the show, but they were having intermittent sound/monitor problems in the beginning, and you could tell they were a little tentative. About half way thru Ramble On, they "flipped the switch," and the show got progressively better and better, climaxing at Kashmir, which was flawless. But once they hit Black Dog, they were firing on all cylinders, and you knew this was going to be a special show. You no longer were asking yourself: " can they do it?," you were just thinking: "wow!"

[@jnewmark41]

I totally agree....it got better and better

[@jerryactrik1901]

Perfectly put. I personally can't deny having a little anxiety that it could taint my memory of Led Zeppelin in some way. Then again, this is Led Zeppelin we're talking about. How could it not have been epic?

[@blacktulip3552]

Your look of wonder at the end, rendered speechless. So cute! Phenomenal band still in 2007. Jason did an incredible job standing in for his Dad.

[@johnpbh]

The whole show is just amazing and it's worth doing in order.... Agree with the comment earlier about "flipping the switch" after a couple of tracks.. But the show is memorable for the fact that you didn't see three old codgers and a young kid performing and disappointing an audience with sub standard versions of their glory days... You got to see LED ZEP with Jason Bonham play a barnstorming concert playing fantastically for guys of their age and not disappointing on a single song. Quite remarkable and worth high praise and all the kudos in the world... Keep on Rocking... OH YES.. The drum kit Jason is playing is his dad's from when John played with them... Frickin awesome.

[@Kashmir.820]

Zeppelin….perfection!!!! Rock on guys rock on!!!!

[@Chris5291_]

This was the 3rd song of the concert. When you watch the concert as a whole, You can feel them being a bit nervous and cautious during the first 2 Songs... but it was during Black Dog when something special ignited. After That, they ran with that flame through the night.

[@jmar7631]

20 million people from 60+ countries requested tickets (broke the world record), arena capacity was 20,000. Great performance, and I enjoyed your reaction to it. Edit: Glad to hear that you'll react to all the songs from this concert. You'll enjoy them all. :)

[@vickieray]

I have always read the exact same & I have no doubt in mind that it’s true ☮️🔥🎼🎸🎤 This entire show was amazing!! 🔥🔥

[@simply_psi]

Thanks for hitting this. I love the interplay between Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on this 2 of the coolest guys on the planet doing what they do best, awesome.

[@Scoobydcs]

the boys were ON IT that night!

[@BrettLesPaul]

I’ve watched that performance probably 50 times. Never gets old.

[@juliemanarin4127]

This entire concert was magical! Yep JPJ wrote that riff!

[@greekadmirer2204]

Nice to see you review some zeppelin today . It’s 43 years today that we all experienced Knebworth 79 .. Raise a glass 🥃

[@vickieray]

🍺

[@mdj-ie7rj]

The intricate timing and changes between drums and instruments are unmatched- Simply out of this world mind blowing! 🏆🔥

[@brentwerley6762]

This was performed 34 years after the performances you saw from, The Song Remains The Same" concert, from 1973 to 2007. And as I commented on another one of your reaction videos, where Robert lacked in range later on he makes up for in character and diversity. He also really developed a vocal flow and building of tension, anticipation with his vocals.

[@pauliney6361]

Love it all so much They nailed it JPJ having the time of his life too 🙌🏼

[@antarcticorb9197]

Nice to know you're going to do the whole thing.

[@payres48]

One thing you can say about Robert Plant is that he always had such an on stage presents. And it was still there at age 59 when they did this show.

[@deborahparham3783]

He still has it and he's 75 now. Still going strong.

[@helenespaulding7562]

There’s nothing more recent than this. It was they’re last concert. From PG I know they did In My Time Of Dying. Also Kashmir which you’ve already watched. Crowd was 20,000. 20 million tried to get tickets.

[@bobthebuilder9553]

The thing here is that Paige makes it look like a walk in the park! Still Amazes.

[@vernhoke7730]

This show was amazing and a long time coming. As everyone knows they stopped playing after the death of John Bonham in 1980. Over the years Robert, Jimmy and John Paul got together for one off performances here and there. Including, what was considered a disaster at Live Aid in '85 with Phil Collins on the drums. This show was their first full set, about 2 hours, in over 2 decades. And who better to have behind, his father's, old drum kit than Jason Bonham. Of course he knew all the songs growing up around these guys. My favorite from this show is Kashmir, from "Physical Graffiti". Some others the Ocean, Rock and Roll and Stairway of course.

[@redpine8665]

The best live version of Black Dog is on 'How the west was Won. Live album. Absolutely blistering.

[@vickieray]

From Physical Graffiti they did “In My Time Of Dying & Kashmir” in this show from 2007!! They are both amazing but Kashmir is stellar!! 🔥🎸🎤🔥

[@martyngilbertswann8191]

I was lucky to be there that night . Astonishing performance. Trampled underfoot was my highlight

[@marksharbono8375]

Watch “IN MY TIMEOF DYING” Live where Page plays a steel guitar standing up-u can’t see Pages left hand move up/ down the fret board- it’s totally amazing!!!

[@nickbitten9910]

JPJ killing it as usual,( to be fair they are all killing it). Class.

[@artiewithers6980]

There are no words. I am shook. And I saw them 3 times in the 70’s.

[@israelmathes6268]

No auto tone with Led Zeppelin

[@karlaklaus-hoobler5685]

Gave me chills. They put 20 yr olds to shame. LOL

[@dalestafford8985]

Another one I saw them play , so badass.

[@TanyaRando]

I was very young when this first came out but being a lifelong fan of live music I've heard this many many times, and always loved it, but you can imagine how my parents felt when they'd listened to the lyrics and not been too happy knowing my musical choices 😂😂

[@Bluewizard7131]

It's worth noting that even after all the waiting this concert was delayed several more weeks due to Jimmy Page breaking a finger.

[@ledded1]

It was a stunning night and the band excelled themselves given the break between playing the songs. I later attended the Celebration Day premier in London when Page Plant and Jones appeared before the movie. And I was blown away again sitting in the Hammersmith Apollo with an outstanding sound system to hear it through.

[@StuartHanson-fo7iw]

Like the ultimate tease, they leave ya wanting more🇬🇧👍

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

There are three songs from Physical Graffiti in this concert: Kashmir (which you’ve already done), In My Time of Dying, and Trampled Underfoot. Here is the full setlist for your files: Good Times Bad Times Ramble On Black Dog In My Time of Dying For Your Life (only ever live version of this song) Trampled Underfoot Nobody’s Fault But Mine No Quarter Since I’ve Been Loving You Dazed and Confused Stairway to Heaven (can’t believe they got Robert to sing this again 😏) The Song Remains the Same Misty Mountain Hop Kashmir Encores were; Whole Lotta Love Rock and Roll

[@yenlard6683]

No Quarter is pretty epic !

[@kevinbrady6075]

Jonesy wrote that riff,with the help of John,.....and yes,the 'old' sods slayed it that nigh!

[@lnsmanning]

Kasmir is unbelievable from this show. Actually, all of it is amazing.

[@JU5TINPDX]

The only bad thing about this concert is that by being such a phenomenal success, it is almost guaranteed to be the last ever Led Zeppelin show…. They redeemed their previous reunion attempts, and cemented their legacy. I hope I’m wrong, never say never.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Never, I’m afraid. Jimmy too old now at 78 to play up to his own high standards, and Robert not interested. He’s on his own unique path.

[@zosometalgod]

Nope Jimmy Page and the boys pretty much played the same setup they did in the 70s! The only difference was a recording equipment they had which helped the performance that is it! Jimmy even used his old school amps! It's a great interview with Jimmy Page talking about the setup

[@jasonwilliams6005]

Jason Bonham on drums. He's awesome.

[@joshuadeshaies7106]

Absolutely amazing these guys still are!!! Thx Salvo, for rockin us out!!¡

[@mikeb36240]

There was a lottery for the 20,000 tickets.

[@Scoobydcs]

sooooooooooooooooooooooo good

[@zeeb6]

I saw them in 1974 the song Remains the same tour Incredible

[@timtubemusic]

Think about how much older they were at that concert and still o great.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

Seeing Jimmy and Robert doing their thANG. Makes me wonder what they could've done if they'd been sober in the 70's!

[@scottzappa9314]

I have that "U.S. 1975 tour T shirt, but the plain black one, not the tie died one. I'm glad they pulled off a good one here.

[@jenniferewing4504]

Good choice !

[@anthonyblakely399]

Yes.....I know two of the concerts I went Led Zeppelin performed.....Black Dog....Kashmir......Trampled Under foot......When The Levee Breaks.......Some song from Physical Graffiti.....but there is is a "live" performance of "Kashmir" from "The Celebration Day" Concert...I request that you react to "Trampled Under foot"(live from the Celebration Day Concert)

[@williamcabell142]

Dude it’s not 1971...the equipment man. No enhancement! Could you imagine if they had that tech, when they were young! Still no fake crap!

[@barrybreen8745]

you can get the whole concert on KZbin

[@ronniel879]

For one night they were young again

[@Adrian-px9bu]

Celebration Day concert features 3 Physical Graffiti songs: "In My Time of Dying", "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir"

[@5yearsout]

How much cash have they left on the table by not touring? Boggles the mind to think about it. I still feel blessed to have had this music in my life.

[@kingragnarlothbrok4047]

Grandpa Jimmy is still the best guitarist in the world

[@johnm506]

I was at Earls Court London in 1975 aged 21 see first time this iconic if not the greatest band of all times along with The Beatles Now 68 it will remain in my top five concerts of all time I attended Wanted to see this reunion so bad tickets were going at £7000 or more on line. No chance for a fan sad part was seeing so many no mark talentless nobodies pitching up to attend. They know nothing about the music or the band it’s just the place to be seen denying real fans from way back to see this god like band preform one last time

[@DGW374]

Sound quality and all that granted but these guys shit is tight!

[@zer0thzero428]

You're right about the latter day sound quality difference. I just wish the theologically committed could remember that when they blithely direct reactors to extended 30 minute jams from the early seventies. Never mind the quality, feel the width. Objectively -- for me -- the real magic occurred under Page's direction in the studio. Live you lose layers of guitar and gain slop... not so bad if you were there but it doesn't bear the poorly recorded live retelling. I saw them at Earls Court '75 - as I recall Page broke a finger in a train door a couple of months before, his guitar cable cut out on the opening song (R&R) and my main thought was that they could use an extra touring guitarist to fill the gaps. This comment will likely go down like a lead balloon.

[@williamcabell142]

Now tell they are not the GOATS...And please spare that rush bull shit? Four names , that changed music for ever: Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles!

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Van Halen sure changed guitar….

[@ros73dros]

The band REALLY wanted to sound amazing as most of their post LZ reunion concerts were very underwhelming / poor performances etc. One such was Live Aid where Jimmy was very drunk and they needed 2 drummers, one who apparently didn't know the songs! ; then at Atlantic anniversary concert they were again "off" ...so, any way .. in this 1, they practiced for like 2 months and put efforts to sound top form.

[@fchampd4512]

Drunk was a very light way of putting it

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

They practiced off and on for six weeks. Wanted to bring Jason in and make sure the three instrumentalists were a solid unit. Robert came in later.

[@rickymack2611]

The best rendition of Kashmir hands down is in this concert

[@Trevscuriosites]

You should watch some of the video's from the" Page & Plant No Quarter Unledded " concerts/shows sure not Led Zeppelin but some of those preformances are great

[@joeyhuebner10]

There were a couple nights on the Page Plant 95 tour that rivaled Zeppelin.

[@Trevscuriosites]

@@joeyhuebner10 I have the DVD and it is a masterpiece and one of my favorites

Did I already say that I was there?

[@grethe1956]

Now try listening to Black Dog live with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. They’ve slowed it right down and it’s very sexy!

This was a Zeppelin fan dream to be there, I still envy those fans. 😠😒Checkout This Might Get Loud also.

[@stevenrenton1679]

I really don't want to piss on anyone's cornflakes here, and Led Zeppelin IS the best band ever assembled, but seriously Robert's heyday voice was a distant memory long before this concert. For their age, they made a really good fist of it, but to say this was anything other than a retirement fund is bewildering.

[@conrad4667]

Stop listening to live versions. I like your the research you usually do beforehand. All we had to go by was the album. You can look at the album cover only during your first listen. Save videos for the second time around.

[@westondoesit6127]

You add nothing to the conversation… 😑
