Yes I’ve seen it, fantastic. Without the massive drum sound it doesn’t work too well. Also on KZbin is cover version by all female tribute band called Zeperella. They are excellent too. John Bonham sadly missed to this day.

[@bobcharles2683]

What a performance, just brilliant. probably right up there as one of the top bands in the world today.

[@tash6132]

This version is nice but you REALLY have to see the version they did outdoors and in different locations from each other, the one with John Paul Jones, that one is amazing! I watched it on a loop a dozen times the first time I came across it. And I shared it with my friends. Absolutely amazing!

[@cbojorquez]

💯

[@johnsterizer]

I did the same. It's a bit of a stunner.

[@flynnt1953]

Totally agree, it's one of my favourite Zep songs, but the outdoors version was amazing.

[@melgreene9993]

💯☝🏻

[@veroniqueverstichelen7371]

Yes love that version...even better than LZ...PFC is awesome...such great talent..wow..!!!❤❤❤

[@maxdjaruth3926]

The list of songs I listen to the most is playing for changes

[@MegaCirse]

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery, the choirs fill with fervor and instruments have the roundness, brilliance of chimes ☀💃🦹‍♀🧚‍♀

[@markwakephord3049]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 what an awesome version of this Zep classic 👌

[@HARobbJr]

Great song !!! Not singing about a Levee. The whole friggin world.

[@whatshername656]

Yes, but at the same time local. Lismore is about half an hour away from where this was filmed, floods there in 2022 resulted in the loss of 3000 homes.

[@lloydrobeau5126]

There is footage from all over, I saw New Orleans in the other video ,, 👍all good 🎸🎶🎸❤️

[@bstringbender]

People use ask me, what kinda music you like? I always said LED Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, IDK, just got lucky I guess.

Sound of Music

I. Have. No. Words... WOW!

[@johnsterizer]

You had five. That's enough! 😊

[@Lancecarrguitar]

Why play music? Why we play music, I believe, is subjective to the individual, everyone can choose why music is important to them. For me, music has always been significant for many reasons. Looking back, it seems it's always been about connection... Connecting to the sound and rhythms of the Universe, Connecting to my thoughts & ideas, Connecting to stories, Connecting to and understanding our values and convictions, Connecting to my instinct/intuition, Connecting to my heart/emotions, Connecting somatically to the propiosensing awareness of body to my surroundings in the moment, Connecting to my own self expression; thoughts, ideas, feelings, Connecting to breathe, and heart rate, Connecting and collaborating with people, Connecting to Nature, and the sounds of Animals... These are a few of the reasons why I play music. There has been a lot of talk about competitions in music, and comparison... people sometimes ask, "who is the best?" To me like Art, I don't believe music is a competition, nor something to compare. I believe it's an expression, a form of communication, a spiritual & soulful language thet connecte us to ourselves, nature, and each other. One organization that promotes collaboration instead of competition and comparison is: Playing 4 Change! youtube.com/@playingforchange?si=91YtHdiQ-Gp9jNJh

Memphis Minnie died in 1973. I can't help but think she would enjoy this kaleidoscope of humanity ,the band and the crowd, grooving to her song in 2024 !

[@stevenhopkins2887]

Great Song Tribute!!!

[@HughGard-rc7cc]

If you want to really effing rock a zep song punch up Kevin Gilbert's take on kashmir (the video will knock you out)

[@12Radius]

✌️

[@anewamericaallnewagain6089]

WELL DONE 👏 ✔️ 👍

[@marksieber4626]

Man! That was damn good

[@mburl]

Brilliant performance as always but the didgeridoo should have only been in the intro. Due to it not being able to play a melody as such it just sticks out and sounds off key and jarring.

[@AKACIJA152]

cool with didjerido!

[@anasilviamendonca8636]

WoWnderful 😮❤🌻

[@johntalbott1553]

Wow! That woke me right up! Thanks ❤

Sorry, but this doesn’t even come close to measuring up to the other Playing For Change version.

[@jeffh8840]

Crowd enjoyed it, the band enjoyed playing it, 2200 Likes. Says it all really.

[@veroniqueverstichelen7371]

Awww please...excellent talent.

[@mommamia1989]

Dint like the voice. Sounds evil

[@truenorthben]

My least favorite version, the singer, shes annoying

[@mr.d.572]

The levee is going to smash to pieces if people keep voting for awful people like Biden and Pelosi.

[@chriscarson1256]

How to destroy a great song:

[@albertjanvanhoek294]

By whom ? The partly "stolen" Led Zep version, or the original by Joe McCoy and the great Memphis Minnie ?

[@Int750]

Espectacular ❤

[@alexdellarte13]

Fantastico ❤❤❤❤
