I saw them live Pink Floyd live Rolling Stones, Queen, but only one sounded better live than their albums and it wasn't Zepplin. Pink Floyd was the best I saw live but I guess it's who you like.

Jimmy was already a rockstar. He was a much called for guitar session player in all the studios in London. He had just left the band the Yardbirds and formed the new Yardbirds, which became Led Zeppelin. Basically it was Jimmy’s band, he put them all together, wrote most of the songs with Robert, arranged, and more importantly, produced all the albums.

And this my friends is just another prime example of why they are called the "Mighty Zep"

And they all were all between 20-25 years old at the time. Amazing.

David McCallum was a british actor on a American t.v. show called "Man from Uncle". His father was a symphony conductor. He introduced his father to Jimmy Page. They were in a conversation about music at a party when father suggested Jimmy try a cello bow on his electric guitar. Jimmy was looking for new sounds and tried it. It became part of Jimmy.s bag of tricks. I think David told this story on the Les Crane show(late 60"s KTTV ch. 11 talk show).

That bass riff is solid, those drums are driving.

And just one year later at the Royal Albert Hall, they turned this masterpiece into a 20-minute masterpiece and played that show like they've been touring together for decades! The transition from this to the RAH show is astounding - and not only bc it's in color. 😂🤘🤘

I find it funny that so many people went after Led Zeppelin for stealing old and forgotten songs from ages ago. If Zeppelin didn’t remake them nobody would Ever Hear of them. Plus Zeppelin did those old blues songs a million times better than the originals 😅

But keep in mind, though this is one of the first times Led Zeppelin is together, Jimmy was using the bow several years earlier while in the Yardbirds, and Plant and Bonham weren’t just picking up their instruments that year but had been playing in pubs for almost 5 years together as the Band of Joy. As well, JPJ is already an accomplished studio musician along with Jimmy for the previous several years. They are all masters of on the spot, on the fly innovation and masters of their instruments. They have all these dynamics worked out before hand; the crescendos, the boleros, the quieting, the “all join in”. They are signaling each other like mad throughout this performance, watching intently and winking at each other to prompt the next movement from each other with JPJ and Bonham laying down their rock steady undercurrent for Plant and Page to dance across with Lyric and Lead.

They are practically babies 🔥❤️

I was ten years old in '69 near the end of the psychedelic era and this came around the same time as Hendrix and others, huge change in music from the fifties / sixties - still have my first zeppelin album

Every Led Zeppelin show seems to be unique. At one point I had around 40 different live shows and they almost never played songs the same way. Particularly their early shows. Those half the time they were playing different medleys, and jamming out

I have seen this SOOO many times. One of th things I love is that these kids had never heard anything like this before and had no idea where this band was going.

They were told to sit there and not make a sound but I have to agree with you

I think this mini show of like 4 songs was before the album came out overseas, it was released in the US on January 12;1969, & 4 months later everywhere else. They weren’t as excepted in England like here in the US. Their first US concert was on December 26, 1968, they played a concert with Vanilla Fudge. Those poor kids watching, weren’t allowed to make any noise, they had to sit there & be quiet. Plant & Bonham we’re both 20 JPJ 23 & Page 24, JPJ & Page both born in January, so maybe a year older at this time. They had their first practice on August 19,1968, the day before Plants 20th birthday, in a few months they accomplished so much, Plant doesn’t quite have his confidence here yet. Thanks for your reaction & keep reaching to Led Zeppelin.

Studio is a must listen

Led Zeppelin the greatest band to have ever Landed ..mic drop

This video makes me think of 2 things. How the Muppet Animal was based off the drummers John Bonham, Keith Moon, and Ginger Baker. You can really see the influence Jonh Bonham had. Second, the audience reminds me of the Back to the Future scene, "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it." If you've seen it, you'll understand. Led Zeppelin was ahead of its time.

#1 Band of all times seen them in 1973 man got so high lol

This is one of the all time historic music videos ever. You can see, feel and taste the power, confidence and talent in the preformence. Truly fantastic

Great choice to review since it's so raw and full of ZepEnergy. This is the original shit, man.

Page was already famous by this point, he was a seasoned session guitarist appearing on many hits for others and was in the Yardbirds.

Great tune! The studio version is worth a listen as well.

I was getting ready to go out the door to get my vehicle inspected and I had to put on my brakes for this one.. Studio Version audio is far more vivid I would say

This early Led Zep is amazing. I love Robert’s voice here. Deep, raw, soulful, outstanding. Jimmy doing his guitar wizard, Bonzo beating the heck out of those drums, and JPJ holding it all together with excellent bass. I watch this four song set often. To hear “Let me introduce Led Zeppelin to you.” Gives me chills. I’ve been a fan since 1969.

They were beasts of rock

Robert Plant was just 20 at that time along with Bonham, Jimmy 25 and JPJ 22 . Amazing stuff.

Good to see you two going back to the origins of Zeppelin, but as I looked at your Zep playlist, I'm shocked you haven't reacted to KASHMIR from the double album Physical Graffiti, or NO QUARTER from Houses of the Holy. Those tunes in particular will introduce you to the "Progressive" Led Zeppelin, a little more complex and different than the heavy blues rock norm. Highly recommend you listen to those two gems to get the full scope.

This is probably the best video of this song. These ppl have no idea wat they experienceing but they will tell there kids and grand kids about seeing them live for the rest of there life

My FAVORITE concert. So early. So raw.

This blew everyone’s mind in 1969

Page began his career as a studio session musician in London and, by the mid-1960s, alongside Big Jim Sullivan, was one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Britain. He was a member of the Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968. When the Yardbirds broke up, he founded Led Zeppelin, which was active from 1968 to 1980. Following the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.

Sounds like they took lessons from Soul/ blues of the late 50's 60's to me !

You have to check out, Dazed and Confused live in London, and I Can't Quit You Babe, live at Royal Alberts Hall, early raw performances are insane..

Great reaction! I've been hoping to see a reaction video of this version of this song for a long time! Actually, the whole concert that this version was from was just amazing!

Led Zeppelin never played any song the same way twice.

John Bonham used a common technique of the time that was called a "rim shot" on the snare. The steel ring securing the drum head is struck with the base of the stick while the tip strikes the snare head. It produces the pop or ring on top of the drum head sound. Drummers used it in the early days to make themselves heard above the increasing loud guitar amps being developed. Its very distinctive when you strike a rim shot. Not to be confused with a "cross stick" used in reggae where its layed across the drum head

I love the way Samantha dances to the different songs. So glad I found this channel. Love all of the different types of music you discover. Love you both ❤❤❤. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸

Improv at its best they just had a chemistry that couldn’t be beat, Jimmy used that bow in their movie The Song Remains the Same came out in the 70s. Later y’all.❤️😎🇺🇸

YAY YAY YAY!!! i **LUV** this performance so so so MUCH!!! cuz it is like when they were basically 1st starting out! just **KickAss** **Incredible** Thank YOU ever so for doing this!!!

This a landmark performance. I've seen it countless times going back to the 90s. I think there was a documentary that MTV did when No Quarter came out. And it included footage of this. Anybody else remember that? Can't think of any other way I would have seen this back around '95.

Sin ninguna duda son la mejor banda de todos los tiempos

Page 24 yrs old, Jonesy 22, Bonham and Plant 20, young lads alright on the ascent to the top.

Jimmy page had already been introduced to the world most recently through the Yardbirds and prior to that he was a top session musician in London and he’s on countless top selling prior to the Yardbirds. So was John Paul Jones.

Imagine being front row in that crowd not knowing the future legends you are witnessing. Nobody would believe them if they re told the story today.

It should be noted that this song is a rocked-up remake of Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all-time, but I feel like people overstate how original they were.

I recommend checking out the other songs at this concert. The band do 3 others before this one. Communication Breakdown, Dazed And Confused, and Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You. All from this concert/performance at Danmarks Radio!

JPJ and Bonzo holding it all down in the background as usual - the Zep powerhouse!!!!!

Led Zeppelin - Bring It On Home (Live at The Royal Albert Hall 1970) [Official Video] Check out that video above, would love to see you both react to it, it really is an amazing performance. Topper is, Robert playing harmonica.

One of my faves, that is way underplayed/heard. I think Jimmy was 25 here and John Paul Jones around the same a bit younger 23 maybe, with Robert and John the young ones 19-20ish. "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play"! There IS an Interlude in the middle of this song, Sam. This song is worth a studio listen, for sure, even on your own while lifting. Thanks, Great Tunes!!

I get “cool parents” vibes from you guys. 😃

I was 8 years old when this was going on.........I discovered them in 1975.

This song is a combination of old blues songs. They just added a lot more volume.

You should do the studio version now.

I love how Zeppelin just kept reinventing themselves without losing beat. But they always stayed true to giving us what we craved. John Bonham kept timing with his mouth that's why it's always moving. He used both feet so he found it useful to count with his mouth ❤Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️

How fun is that? I've only seen that a few times but it's fascinating. And when Jimmy Page breaks out the bow on the guitar, it would already be so super cool especially for that early in time, like performance art, just to do it at all. But if you listen closely to what he does, it's really high level musicianship. Especially near the end of it. It's astonishingly tight. He's not just randomly whacking around. Although he gets off that impression, laugh.

The greatest rock band of all time.

Notice jimmy is playing a fender and not a gibson, the guitar he is playing here was given to him by his friend Jeff Beck.

I think Page quoted a Jeff Beck from the Yardbirds, which Page and Beck were in, a couple years before. The melody was from Over Under Sideways Down
