This concert/movie changed my life. I saw it in theaters when it was released and after watching Jimi (especially on the Song Remains the Same) I was on a totally different path as a guitar player. I didn't even know about hybrid picking, volume control for distortion, chromatic scales, string sweeping, etc.. it changed me in a good way. The only bad thing is the movie is 70's and full of fantasy sequences... too many drugs I suspect ;)

[@christopherearnshaw6306]

50 years on !!!.......Led Zeppelin are still ahead of their time....

[@Dirgnimai7]

Interesting statement. In what way were they "ahead of their time"?

[@stephenvolt1730]

I love all the extra guitar flourishes Jimmy adds to the live version!

[@TRVSCT]

His guitar is crying 🤘

[@chebrneck]

Jimmy's solo is 100% improvised perfection.

[@michaelpetrosino9446]

I was at that concert way back in 1973 sitting in the 9th row orchestra at MSG. I was 16 years old then &now I'm 66 . Zep played close to 4 hours. Enjoy your Zep journey I no that I'm enjoying mine .

[@glennford3480]

I saw them in Pontiac Michigan and Montreal!

[@malcshone4409]

Another superb performance by everyone involved. Thank you Mike and Dev. On a historical/financial point, when I was 17 years old I paid £0.75 for my first Led Zep concert ticket. That’s 75% of £1. In 1975 I paid £1.50 for a ticket at the Earls Court London shows ( I went twice). At Knebworth in 1979 ( their final UK shows) I paid £7.50 . They never scalped the fans and always played for at least two hours. At Earls Court in 2975 the show ran for 3hours 20 minutes and I missed my train home!

[@felixsantana258]

Fantastic Performance of Led Zeppelin in their Prime. Really enjoyed your reactions

[@markfx12]

John Bonham was a deeply troubled soul who played the drums with controlled reckless abandon. I miss him...

[@juliemanarin4127]

I mean...who else can play live like Zeppelin? NOBODY!

[@randyschwader1202]

Not even close.. They stand alone

[@billtaylor3382]

I have been a huge fan of the mighty LZ since I was 10 yo and now 65 yo, My god they were great! Still have all the records on vinyl

[@robertembury6094]

Robert Plant was asked if he had any advice for the front men in all the Led Zeppelin tribute bands out there and he said definitely. When asked what that was all he said was. "Dress it to the right"

[@26shedan]

I saw that-made me laugh my a## off

[@WillowZiggy1957]

I was fortunate to see them in concert 1977 in St. Louis at a whopping price of $ 7.50 for my 20th Birthday.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Whoo Whoo!! To both songs!

[@yozaseig3870]

Brilliant reaction guys. Bonzo is unreal. Loving epic stairway as always!!

[@antarcticorb9197]

Appreciate the care you put into these videos, thanks to both of you!

[@vernhoke7730]

Ah memories. Way back in the last century, when this concert happened, there was a poster from this point of this show of Robert and Jimmy. This was a 3 night stand at MSG. I bought it at our local head shop that sold posters, lava lamps, incense and other paraphernalia. It hung proudly on my wall near the 2 posters from Dark Side of the Moon, my castle on the hill blacklight poster and a poster of Cheryl Ladd. Dev, there just sitting there gor two reasons, 1 in awe of Jimmy, 2 they were probably stoned out of their mind. That's the drum kit Jason is playing in the O2 arena concert in 2006, or 2007.

[@MrBedZeppelin]

Easily one of the best live guitar solos followed by the Beautiful Bonzo! Thanks Guys!

[@logwog1991]

Thank goodness someone else reacted to Moby Dick.

[@jmar7631]

Thanks again, Mike and Dev. Enjoyed that. Excellent concert and amazing that they did a 15-song set like that three nights in a row. Ah, youth. lol Plant was joking about the 130 lbs. Plant was the tallest of the four at about 6'1", but Bonham had the heaviest build, weighed closer to 180 lbs.

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

I figured Plant wasn't too good converting stones to pounds. Haha

[@juliemanarin4127]

@@MusicforBusyPeople 😅

[@bjs7442]

Plant isnt 6ft 1 now as he frequents my local pub and sometimes does an impromptu solo session. He is in his 70s after all but still has the hair and charisma . Amazing performer even now. I went to the same school as him King Edward VI Grammer school but he was a couple of years older. I didnt know him , wish I had done and never seen them play live.

[@twpsy634]

The recorder sound was Jonesy on a Melatron, same instrument as on Strawberry Fields .He played recorders on the studio version.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes he did

[@BV-nx6vq]

Super super fun as usual guys!! Another great version of MB, esp the scene w/Jason & the rock-slide ending (the '130 lbs of glory' must have referred to something else...Bonham reportedly was 5' 10" and weighed between 156 & 176 lbs)...and the tickets (and all tickets) were DEFINITELY affordable back when i saw 'em (1977 - $6 at the door, Day On The Green). Thanks again you both for all your detailed, spirited reactions & the work putting together the great HD version of this...always a party if it's Zeppelin

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

❤️🤩😊🙂🎸😃🤓😍❤️

[@danielmass2florida848]

130 lb was a joke, John Bonham was 5' 10 1/2 " and 176 lb, if you listen to enough of their live stuff, bootlegs and such, Robert plant has quite the sense of humor

[@juliemanarin4127]

Lol yes it definitely was a joke!

[@verginithe]

I heard Plant say on a bootleg something like "our drummer, he's full of shit and full of cocaine, John Bonham!" 😂

[@monroegodette6440]

@@verginithe damn

[@EdA1]

Thanks for another great reaction!!!... So Bonzo was NOT 130 lbs... he was about 5'11 and prob close to 200 lbs... Plant was either goofing or he didnt get the English to American conversion right :).... I was at this show, July 29, 1973... I was 15 and tickets were $5.50 each!

[@randallcox6573]

I was there, Saturday night in NY and I flew up cause a Marine buddy got 4 tickets. His girlfriend and him hooked me up with her cousin. It was a fun week. Married her a couple of months later after she came to Dallas.

[@randyschwader1202]

1977 Zeppelin tickets were $10 saw them in Chicago 😊

[@dii6266]

Pubs and Hot Rods is John Bonham's Reality Sequence.

[@MrBedZeppelin]

That video looks great, in the brief parts, in the beginning and end, Great Job! The KZbin cloud can be frustrating. I suppose the Full Screen HD that is available through Patreon must be Awesome! Find Out, Do It! I have seen many reactors, Mike and Dev ARE working hard, for you. Show them "Whole Lotta Love"! Thanks again, Dev hope you feel better!

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

I am going to try to get some more of the finale video looking that good on KZbin. I am re-cutting Heartbreaker, so I can hopefully slip in some more full-screen goodness for parts.

[@nathansellers8454]

Such a great performance. Not many reactors do Moby Dick. I don’t think to many people dared cross John Bonham. He could probably slap you 5 times on each side of your face before you knew you had been hit, lol 😂

[@davidcarter4247]

Sydney 1972 concert - $3 + 20c booking fee. I was 20 and earning about $35 a week at the time. Back then the Aussie dollar and US dollar were on a par

[@samuelmregister]

Page dropped from another planet.

[@teresakoslosky3053]

Fire!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Scoobydcs]

Sublime

[@miguellara003]

Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, and the encore was Ocean. This was great again...loving having some new friends watch this movie. Anyway, all of the members were at least 5'8. Robert Plant was around 6' 1...to be more exact, JPJ - 5' 8, JB- 5'10, JP - 5' 11. 🤙🏽

[@samlawrence4670]

No synthesisers the recorder was played using a melatron a precursor to synths using tapes of sections of play, he also played the bass on foot pedals in many of their songs live.

[@scotttrainer9704]

$15 a ticket the first time I saw The Rolling Stones, over $350 each the second time.

[@rockwren]

Somewhere recently I came across my ticket or a note about it from this tour and I paid less than $10 and that was just a bit over actual price since a coworker had stood in line to buy an entire row of tickets and resold them.

[@ThirdEye...]

Musicorgasm !

[@Jer6691]

Cool

[@michaelgrillo4333]

Why not try a little Led Zeppelin Unleaded and pull down "The Rain Song" - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant featuring a Moroccan string band and Egyptian orchestra . Quite interesting and an outstanding performance. They do a few outer favorites like Battle Evermore and Since I've been loving you.

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

We have done some Unledded... The Rain Song - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4vagJ-Mopl_j68 When the Levee Breaks - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJubdJl4nZ6Ur9U

[@michaelgrillo4333]

Thank you, This is the first time I saw your sight, its looking good so I subscribed. I did not see mentioned posted and sorry I missed the posting. Maybe someone else will benefit by reposting the links as you have. There is a DVD and video to be found with this music which is impressive.@@MusicforBusyPeople

[@chebrneck]

I would argue this arrangement may be better than the original. I'm not sure exactly when it started if they were doing acoustic yet. By 75' they were.

[@BV-nx6vq]

As i listen again, i think it was '130 bands of glory'...accolades for Bonham's drumming prowess? He sure deserves 'em whatever they are.

[@cliftonparago4547]

He was joking about 130 lbs. Saying he lost a lot of weight playing that solo that night.

[@patrickpb3353]

Jimmy fucking page😂. Brilliant

[@ychaf7790]

Where can we find the full concert? I've been looking for it for ages specifically dazed and confused the extended version 1973 at MSG

[@miguellara003]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@tomheglund6994]

The movie Song remains the same is a movie about this concert

[@monroegodette6440]

How did Bonham get that drum effect, sounds like he's hitting on a metal tub, or some echo/wind effect- hard to describe 🤔

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

There are devices called phasers. I assume that's what they used.

[@zosometalgod]

John Bonham is 5'11 and was around 160 pounds!

[@treydees929]

John Bonham was actually 5'10 , 5'11, & 230 lbs. I think that 130 was a joke. He got to like 195 once I believe & was really lean from touring. Jimmy Page was 5'11. 160 lean.

[@Rassskle]

I fell in love with rock music after hearing Vanilla Fudge’s cover of You Keep Me Hanging On , and the drumming of Carmine Appice. 56 years later I’m still a fan of Carmine’s but not drummers as a collective group..... only ever heard maybe 4 drum solos of note, but yeah..... still love great drumming as a part of great music. Moby Dick is mostly just another boring drum solo with maybe 3 or 4 points of interest stretched out by pointless filler. Maybe try Ian Paice’s effort in The Mule by Deep Purple. His 6 minute drum roll is mostly played with just one hand while the other does the usual job of a rock / jazz drummer...... one of the more musical solos you will hear in ROCK music.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Lol...he is not 130 pounds!! Haha Robert having fun! He was like like 175 or 180 and at least 5 10

[@rishavpaudel5021]

Rob was actually 6'2 at the time.

[@markacuna4418]

They played 3 nights

[@markacuna4418]

They did some acoustic sets earls court live 1975

[@markacuna4418]

Earls court acoustic going too calif n that's the way it outta be

[@fedup3449]

130lbs of glory is a piss take. He was a big solid guy. By the way the Albert Hall version of this solo is way better. You can really see Bono and the kit becoming one. His tone then was awesome.

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

[@shaykosovac8722]

Meow...

[@malcshone4409]

Think 130 pounds is an amount Jimmy could only aspire to reach, including the weight of a double neck Gibson.

[@scotttrainer9704]

Too bad they gave John such a short solo in this version of Moby Dick. His son Jason could play by the age of five.

[@TweedSuit]

Bonham's death was accidental. He was a binge drinker, not an alcoholic. He would drink to excess when he was lonely and away from family for extended periods of time. A proper drug addict or alcoholic could never sustain the discipline and work ethic required to play drums in LZ.

[@paulbewlay4527]

That's not a disco ball...disco hadn't been invented yet.

[@chebrneck]

the "130 pounds" is just speak. None of them weighed anywhere near that. Robert or even Jimmy could have been close but not Bonham.

[@scotttrainer9704]

He says he thinks it's a song of hope because it's full of references to the Occult and in the end she stays on the wrong (non Christian) path. Jimmy Page studied the Occult, owned one of the largest stores on the subject and bought Allister Crowley's home.
