There are bands. There are rock bands… and there is LED ZEPPELIN.
Every song on the Presence album was written & recorded in 3 weeks within a
mansion in the UK. Amazing talent that we don’t see today.
That guy on the guitar looks and acts like a rock star!:)
…the importance of John Bonham was never more evident here…especially
on this song. Could you (if you were in the potential line-up of
replacement drummers) ever imagine the fear and intimidation you would have
in your stomach pit in the event you were to ever audition for these guys
after John’s passing? I’m not entirely sure that anyone could’ve ever
replaced him…
Hammer of the gods indeed.
Epic hair flinging contest at 7:40.
This is great footage! Somebody really took their time and edited it
properly. Its not all Jimmy. JPJ gives this song a total workout on bass
guitar.
Whenever I listen to any live Zep, especially this song…I’m constantly
reminded what a machine Bonham was. His feel, the tempo and meter, it’s
really unbelievable.
Yo!
Holy FUCK. Bonzo. No words.
Oh what I would do to be there. But I’m only 17, so I never saw Zeppelin
back in the day.
My life feels incomplete.
Jones and Bonham on point the whole damn time. The 1977 tour had its high
points like the Forum and MSG shows. Achilles is a perfect example of how
airtight this band was, its fucking amazing.
TOO FUCKING GOOD!!!
Saw this tour in Chicago three nights out of four page got sick the fourth
night. I was 13 or 14 and I thought I had scene God the three hits of
orange sunshine may have contributed to that part. I was a ticket scalper
in High school so I had the best tickets to every show and went to every
show I saw lots of great concerts but Zep. was my all time fav.I’m 52 now
and still to this day I haven’t seen a better concert April 8th -through
the 11th 1977 three weeks before my 14th bday.
This song feels like I’m riding a horse and fleeing from an army of church
inquisitors.
gawd dam – BONZO!
Wow it’s faster than the original… And yet it lasts 10 min as well…
one of the best performance of zeppelin. this song sounds like gods with
wings got together and played beautiful music.
Saw them in 1977…incredible experience (Madison Square Garden). Has there
ever been anything more awesome to watch than Jimmy Page? (that’s a
rhetorical question)
These guys were the BADDEST MOTHERFUCKERS to ever walk onto a stage. I hope
that 200 years from now, people will still be studying this. I hope it
never dies. It deserves to live on in the Pantheon of human endeavor.
Sooooo awesome!
This kind of spectacle no longer exists in the music industry. Like Gods
roaming the stage, only seen in magazines.
If you weren’t around to see this type of show from the 70s and 80s, then
you missed out. Fortunately, there is video of this era, but it will never
do justice to what it would have been like to actually have been there to
see it live.
Yo!
I was at that 1977 LA show. Same night Keith Moon came out and played Moby
Dick. Awesome.
As always, Bonzo is a furious animal!
one of the hardest guitar riffs to play by a single guitarest
They are Led Zeppelin. Absolutely best band of all time!!
My god John Bonham is a beast on this song!
Jimmy is like a gazelle prancing to the beat of a different drum! YOu GO
Jimmy! Every other band can go blow!!
This is LED ZEPPELIN, in their very best. Performing a work of art, where
music is concerned! They were giants, megastars, glistening stars,the sun
and the moon! For me, they were more than I ever can say…
Jones and Bonham had the ill-fortune of being overshadowed by front men
with two of the most enormous egos in rock. Together they are a rhythm
section beyond compare. This song highlights that. Plant had some success
beyond that rhythm section with great hand-picked studio guys. Page had
very little without them. Jones and Bonham were as important to Led Zep as
Plant and Page were, make no mistake.
I friggin love this song
Bonzo’s drum and Jimmy’s guitar. Whoooaah…
50 people are jealous of the people who went to this show!
this makes you realise that bands like Guns n Roses are still at school
practising
0:00-9:58 like it was NOTHING. <> HAMMER OF THE GODS <>
*We’ve suffered enough; it’s the to find the truth and divine life and be
fulfilled. All we got to do is take control of our minds to do it. The age
of the mind is ending now.*
*Take a look at **”The Present”‘ at *TruthContest•com** to know it all.*
Jimmy had to deal w/ 3 or 4 guitar parts on the album…Live Mastermind
Very true Jimi. When John died, he took Zeppelin with him…
I was there, absolutely amazing!!!
So glad I saw them, some of my friends said they would catch them next time
they came to LA, which beyond sadly never happened, RIP The Mighty Bonzo!!!
Jimmy Page – Greatest of All Time – nothing more needs to be said.
IN CONCERT AND BEYOND “LED-ZEPPELIN”!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!
this album was recorded in Germany.awesome syncopation throughout the whole
album. Very tight.The Stones went into the same studio after Zep to record
more junkie egotistical crap in comparision.
did everyone say “best band ever”? indeed!
This was a great performance. Leave at that.
THE VIKINGS OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!
Led Zep Madison Square Garden 1977 June 7,8 10, 11 and 14 – We fucked up
and didn’t get tickets for the 13th. It was Mail-In and we drove into Grand
Central Post Office New York with our Ticket Requests and Money Orders. We
ended up with more tickets for the 14th and none for the 13th. Still 5 of
the best shows of my young life. John had just gotten his Stainless Steel
set for this tour. In 1975 I saw them 2x at Nassau Coliseum. Would have
been 8 as I had Tickets in 1975 in Oakland California when Plant was in car
accident in Greece and all shows were canceled. We got our money back for
the tickets. at $14.50 of it, LOL. Should have kept them as souvenirs.
Zeppelin was a big part of my youth. They are forever part of my soul RIP
John.
How about John Bonham on those drums huh?
The best band ever.
Rock on!
I sold tickets for this concert and sat on the second row center section.
Whomever uploaded this has the date as June of l977. It was MAY 15! Also,
just to let you know as you might check out other Houston ’77 Zeppelin
videos, you may notice different clothing and a lot of comments that do NOT
reflect the reality of the show at all. Except for the wrong date, this one
is actual. It was indeed the greatest concert I have ever seen and don’t
believe Led Zep will ever be surpassed.
Best drum lick EVER!
Plant was a God.
It looks like this video is mixed from L.A. and Seattle…
