      I'm bawling my eyes out right now. For me Zeppelin were the dream. I've seen them play and nothing was like it before or since. Today's metal fans often have NO idea how POWERFUL Zeppelin were. Favorites, Four sticks, When the Levy Breaks, Kashmir, Achilles last stand, Immigrant Song, In my time of dying, the whole first side of Led Zep II. They were it, Hippie metal. The US kids got Zeppelin the best, Just a step on from the earlier heavy acid bands like the Revolver to White Album era Beatles, the Doors and Jimi Hendrix. The 70's in Europe was vile from the glitter Rock start while the US still had their latter hippie era to go. All the Stoners loved Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath ('War Pigs' is a classic anti Vietnam War song btw!) Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Neil Young!

    Two years ago I was an administrator at an assisted living home that specializes in care for victims of Alzheimer's Disease. I had a resident who, although he was only in his late 50s, was suffering from the effects of the disease and was for the most part non-verbal. I found the Heart rendition of Stairway to Heaven entirely by accident and showed him a brief bit of the concert on my computer. His face immediately changed to a slight smile so I arranged to display it on a large screen TV where he could get the full concert experience. He and I would sit and watch it over and over. I left there about a year ago but am still in touch with the facility. My friend lost his battle with Alzeheimer's a couple of months ago. Watching it now brings a tear to my eye for the beauty of the concert and the memory of my resident's reaction to a moment from his past.

    I'm not even a Led Zeppelin fan and this makes me cry. It was just inexplicably recommended to me by the magical KRplus algorithm but this is now saved in my favourites and I watch it and get goose bumps every time.
    I wish I was already born then to have seen these greats in their prime. However, I'm just glad that I'm able to see these great videos on KRplus. We are still lucky.

      I doubt if there is any other singer that can bring the great Robert Plant to tears besides the great Ann Wilson. isn't it someting that as young girls, the Wilson sisters would go to Led Zepplin concerts and were moved by them. Then years later, the Wilson sisters perform a Led Zepplin classic in front of them, and the members of Zep were so moved by them..

    • @rumblefish9
      @rumblefish9 6 년 전 +13

      Javi Perez Truth is Plant actually hates Stairway to Heaven. In fact in the 80s he paid a radio station to stop playing it. When asked about it he just cheekily replies "Its because I've heard it before." The tears are because of Bonham. You see the choir sing with bowler hats on. Bonzo was known to wear bowler hats all the time (which is why Jonathan Bonham on drums is wearing his dad's signature hat).
      People talk about Plant and Page a lot but very few people know that Plant and Bonzo had a stronger friendship that dates back to their days in Band of Joy. Bonzo was the only one there who comforted Plant when his son Karac (at 5yrs old passed away due to a stomach virus) died. Bonzo was there at the funeral (Page didn't even go). Plant was willing to give up the rocker lifestyle after that because he just wanted to grieve. It was Bonzo who tried to convince him to stay. When John Bonham died, Plant didn't see a reason to continue.

      While this rendition is damn awesome, I'd argue that Jack Russell of Great White can sing it much better. His voice sounds almost identical as Plant's did on the album. krplus.net/bidio/mKWdnYCeY2S5eHY Also, a new band called Greta Van Fleet sounds like the reincarnation of Led Zeppelin (mostly on the singer's part, but the band too). Check them out, it's well worth it. My favorite song of theirs: krplus.net/bidio/pLCFh2liaoXWiWk
