They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band…

Led Zep were the absolute pinnacle of Rock music. They were far and above anything that went before and came after

I'm surprised those drums held up under that assault. The drums drive this song. It is one of Zeps hardest driving songs, strangely enough, coming from one of their last albums, which happens to be one of my favorite Zep albums. Greatest band in rock history.

Near the end you can hear Bonzo snare drum sound "fatten" up a bit - he had beat the snare head somewhat loose - 3/4 of the way through.

Zep was, and still is, my all-time favorite band. I saw them twice and will remember it forever. Nobody could free-form jam like them

This is one of their major masterpieces. The complexity of the song from the point of view of guitar is dazzling. All the playing of the members is extremely demanding. That Page was able to rework the studio version for live performance and arrive at these results is just phenomenal. Robert introduced this song as "our wheelchair piece", referring to the sheer stamina and musical athleticism required to perform it. This song is INTENSE!

It was also Robert's wheelchair piece because he literally recorded much of Presence in a wheelchair after a bad car accident. But yes you're right this is a huge piece that takes plenty of stamina.

He cracked his foot going into the vocal booth as he was wheelchair bound at the time following a car crash ,hence the Achilles reference.

Jimmy played this to Keith Richards when he had finished mixing it.Keith said “ it’s a great track but you’ll never play it live” 17 guitar tracks on studio version ,1 Les Paul and a wizard on stage ……

Arguably one of the best songs on the Led Zeppelin DVD which this is from. They were playing in front of about 300,000 fans at the 1979 Knebworth Music Festival. I have watched this thousands of time and have never got tired of it. Great choice and great video as always Rebeka.

Bohnam, always a pleasure to watch and hear.....love it. Kudos to this band,

My favorite version of my favorite led zeppelin song!

Robert has said that this is probably the most intense song they ever did. It certainly showcases the immense tightness and chops of Page/JPJ/Bonham together. For me, it strikes me as the closest Zep got to complex prog rock …It took several listens for me to like it. Perhaps reading the lyrics, knowing the backstory of when Plant wrote them and then recorded them, and knowing the huge respect Plant had for his bandmates excellence in putting it together helped me to appreciate it more. The studio version has around 6-8 guitar overdubs that Jimmy put on. Playing it live, he tried to reference as many of those overdubs as he could, to give the full feel of the song. Incredible playing

they should have filmed bonham way more during this performance. this is bonzo's song. probably my favourite drumming in a song ever.

Yes! Probably my favorite studio song by the mighty Led Zeppelin. John Bonham killing it on the drums. All the members sound amazing. Great

I went to this show. A bunch of my friends came along and none of them had ever seen Zeppelin before. All the way there we argued in the car about who was the best band in the world. There were some Black Sabbath guys, some Queen fans, some Stones fans. After the show, the most argumentative guy came to me as we walked back to the camp site. He just said, "You were right. They are the best band in the world."

It took me two or three listens to appreciate this. I love it now. Same with “Tea For One”.

Quite a big song to listen to live for the first hearing, sounds well jumbled in parts, mostly because of Jimmy trying to play all the parts on the original track, but give the original studio version a listen when you can, it really is one of their greatest songs.....your natural musicality will love it.!!

I'm glad when you come back. You make this fun. Love your reactions.

Great to see you back, looking great and sparkly!

Welcome back Rebeka !- love Led Zep -good choice of song-it rocks!

This is absolutely magnificent!!

Yes, it took awhile for some of their sings to grow on me. But I love them all now.

U were very missed. Welcome back. 😀😃😄😁

one of my favorites songs, powerful and bonham is playing like those drums owe him money, he's killing them.

I did not think I could have loved this song any better or believe I'd ever find a way to enjoy better, but, watching you listen to it, ooo... I'm lost for words... This has been my favorite Led Zeppelin song , I had thought about suggesting it, because I like watching you listen to their songs... This was like my bday, Xmas morning, and my first time ( or my last time) all rolled into one wild wonderful time... You are beautifully cool, thank you...

Nice! Love Zeppelin. And you're foxy.

I was at this gig. They played Knebworth on August 4 and August 11 1979. I was at both.

There's an argument to be had that, without tracks like these, the likes of Iron Maiden wouldn't exist. The forward propulsion and lyrical imagery are all in place. And they nailed it here, one last time in England, before the final end.

I've been to dozens of concerts Iron maiden Zeppelin , Floyd etc that reaction shook me (with happiness) to my core. I swear Freddie was conducting from above after all his instrument was simply us.

Love your Zeppelin reactions, timeless music from a great band. How about some INXS-Wembley stadium 1991. 72,000 in attendance. Great live band with one of the best vocalists ever....Michael Hutchence. You won't be disappointed.

Wtf are you talking about?

John Bonham, the drummer of Led Zeppelin, will forever be my role model of a drummer. He made me pick up drums as an instrument, his flow and ease of putting out these timeless beats will never be topped. So glad you were able to enjoy this song :)

Achilles Last Stand is an eclectic piece. Don't feel bad because Ive been listening to LZ since their first album and this is one song I have a hard time to "want" to listen to. It's a great song and amazing musicianship, especially what John Bonham is doing on the drums, Wow! but maybe it's a bit long?! I don't know but it's basically a well constructed jam session song with a obscure story, however I feel you on this one Rebeka. ...Always great to see you back on my feed, hope you're doing well... love the jacket by the way, you're always looking awesome 😊💖

Jimmy is so cute! Love his meek smile!!

Love it. More please 🙏

Studio or Live, this is their very best song imo...great review !

Saw them in 77 during US tour, drugs and rock and roll, shit I don't remember half of it. You look most beautiful today.

I'd be happy just to see them play just this 1, epic.

That's for what you doing.So much fun

Nice song choice Rebeka

Amazing song. Im waiting for your react for In the Evening of Led Zeppelin too. Kisses

Definitely a song you will like and appreciate more the more you listen to it.

Hey Rebeka, you sure looked like you liked it....This album was so different at the time of its release....but I listened to it all summer that year, and its thier best blues rock album in my opinion....Achilles is their best song...hopefully by now you've put some time into it...this was an epic performance of of a legendary song...😉

It is a lot to take in, I agree. Great reaction.

Huge amount of lyrics In this song

Welcome back! Hard to choose a favorite Zep song but this may be it for me . Try the studio version, you may like it better than the live one.☘️👍

You need to listen to ALS many times, studio version. Then watch this again. The percussion is unbelievable.

This song is very complex, almost Progressive. It is a very hard rock song and it's from the Presence album which is a very heavy album and it is an album that is one of those love/hate albums. Many people do not like this album and many love it, so it's very polarizing. I personally love it. I remember the anticipation building up for me as I waited for the album to be released and for me it lived up to my expectations.

"In my Time of Dying" and "Moby Dick" showcases John Bohnam`s drumming skills! "Kashmir" is crazy complex, my favorite Zeppelin song ever!

The best rock song, by the best rock band.

Hi Rebekah. It's so great to have you back . I have missed you and your reactions. Hope you are ok. I know what you mean about this track...it is quite hard to get into...I think the studio version is better. I have been a fan of the band from when the first album was released in 1969...but there are quite a few of their songs that I had to listen to a few times before I could say I really liked it. Thank you for your great reaction. Looking forward to your next offering. Take care, stay safe . Peace From Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

One of My Favorite LZ songs!!

common reaction. I remember it took me a few listens to really start appreciating it, it’s so sonically complex. I started focusing on in jimmy’s playing, and then Bonzo , and they both blew me away and I never looked back, one of my all time favs. Bonzo’s Moby Dick may be more famous, but his drumming in this is superhuman in its accuracy, power and endurance, simply astonishing. He probably hit the drum harder, and more often, than any similarly lengthy piece ever recorded, and he’s never off by a nano second…..absolute machine.

Excelente música. Zeppelin lo máximo....!!!!!!!

The studio version with the guitar overdubs is really the best way to hear this...Jimmy was trying to layer a 'guitar army' on that album, and the result is hard to get live with only one guitar. The drums on this, as well as the bass, are hard-driving and stellar throughout, and Robert is, well, Robert. Don't be afraid to not like parts of Zep immediately...I remember when Physical Graffiti came out I, a teenage Zep fanatic at the time, was disappointed. Multiple listens is the BEST thing about Led Zeppelin...they just sound better and better, you hear more and more nuances.

No-one like the Mighty Led Zeppelin. Page n Jones were entirely original, innovative and were production and arranging masters, Plant and Bonham were peaks of their profession.This masterpiece was Jimmy’s favorite vinyl child…🤐

Baby they where the best

A brief history of the words "Achilles: It is a tendon that connects your leg to your foot. And that is why it is a tender spot. when your break the enemy's Achilles heel -you win the war.

I like the song for the most part. Musically, I like the hard driving rhythm throughout, but from what I've read about the song, it has more to do with an injury Robert Plant sustained in a car accident than it has to do with Achilles, who according to Greek mythology, was the greatest of all the Greek warriors. Glad to see you back Rebeka and closing in on the 22K subscribers. Take care. 🙂🙏

It was called Achilles Last Stand because of Robert’s car accident prior to recording the vocals-he shredded his ankle and Achilles tendon. He sang this song while stuck in a wheelchair. Some of the high notes couldn’t be tracked so they slowed down the tape to have him record it in a lower key, then brought the tape back up to normal speed.

I love historically themed songs. Infuse intelligence into the art. Great choice of song.

To answer your question, (and this applies to virtually all of Zep's music but particularly their deeper cuts) yes, listen to A.L.Stand many more times, preferably on premium audio equipment with ample distortion-free volume. Best way to go is with the digital remaster of studio version off of Presence. Personally, and I know I speak for multiple generations of Zep addicts, this intricate enduring song grows in stature & reveals additional depth and nuance every-single-time (several hundred) that I hear it. Much of Zeppelin's greatest work requires multiple listens before the hook is set...but when it finally is....it goes deep.

I was at this concert, think Zep came on at midnight, the whole day was a great show ... really enjoying your reaction/s 42 years later ! ... ten years on and Robert's voice has lost that raw power and high notes, but Jimmy is still firing on all cyclinders bless him ... personally i think you might like the studio cut, a lot
