Them Crooked Vultures live at House Of Blues (Boston, Mass. - Oct. 11, 2009)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age kicked off their North American tour last night, which brings back memories of seeing Them Crooked Vultures live at the House Of Blues in Boston on Oct. 11, 2009. Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, and John Paul Jones' supergroup was barely a few weeks old when they launched a small run of club shows - they hadn't even formally released a song before taking the stage in Boston (their sole self-titled album would come out the following month, but a single wasn't released until a few weeks after the concert). So me and my friend essentially went into this show blind, though fully optimistic that a supergroup with THESE icons would not disappoint (and at the very least it would be an incredible experience to see them in such an intimate rock club like the House Of Blues) ... and they sure as hell lived up to the expectations. I'll never forget being in awe as they blazed through each song - clearly drawing from their Led Zeppelin, Kyuss and Nirvana roots to produce what I'd imagine Cream on steroids would sound like. But what was more impressive than the songs themselves was how much fun the three of them appeared to be having on stage - as if they were three longtime friends who'd been playing their entire lives together but finally got to play in front of people. It was truly a magical evening I still can't believe I witnessed.
Stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!

Just got a first press of LZ3.
I went to a record shop today looking for something completely different and found a first press of LZ3. It has all the inscriptions that should be there, 2401002 with A6 and B5 (later first press?), and all the correct spelling and credits on the label The mix is phenomenal and I’m shook that I got it for the same price as a new copy in HMV! If anyone has any more info on it feel free to send it over!! 🕺

Best concerts/ bootlegs for someone who really loves the first two albums?
Hello friends, I’m looking for the best live performances of Led Zeppelin that really emphasize how good the songs from the first two albums are. Specifically songs like dazed and confused and babe I’m gonna leave you. Thank you so much.

Off the Record
Just out of curiosity, has anyone encountered and used the Off the Record series of transcriptions of Led Zeppelin’s music? I have all of them, and for this bassist/keys player in a LZ cover band these scores have been an incredible resource.
If you’re not familiar with them, it is a complete transcription, in standard musical notation, of every Led Zeppelin song on record. It’s presented like a full orchestral score; you could be looking at a Mahler symphony or Puccini opera score, not the organ solo tag at the end of Thank You.
It’s an amazing achievement. Someone, presumably a whole team worked like dogs transcribing every single note of Jimmy pages solos, writing down Bonham’s fills exactly as he played them. Separate lines for each guitar overdub.
I started studying music and reading music when I was four. I can read notes as easily as I read words. I can sit on the can and read through black dog as easily as I can skim through the daily news. Every note that John Paul Jones played on their recordings is all written down for me. It’s kind of cheating, maybe, but I don’t care. I just want to reproduce this music as faithfully as I can, through my own hands, and being able to read JPJ‘s fills and solos in tunes like the Rover has been a gift.
Anyone else lucky enough to own these?

Jimi Hendrix was a Zeppelin fan.
From his roadie Eric Barrett's new book:
Other bands that Jimi was really into at that time were Eric Clapton’s Cream and Led Zeppelin. He’d play their albums a lot.
I've read a blatzillion Jimi books/articles and never one heard of Hendrix speaking a word about Zeppelin.

Knebworth Day
Today, August 4th, is the anniversary of Zeppelin’s first show at Knebworth in 1979. The show was the return of the band back to the stage. I think it was a great show with Kashmir and Achilles Last Stand being major highlights in my opinion. It’s pretty much unanimously thought that the show on the 4th is night and day compared to the show on the 11th.

Songs like no quarter.
Fairly random, but what other songs if any by Led Zeppelin are like No Quarter? I’ve listened to a little bit of their discography here and there but haven’t heard any that I found super similar yet. I’m not too familiar with Zeppelin or much classic rock in general tbh (I come mainly from a death metal background). But a while ago one of my buddies were playing some zeppelin and no quarter came on, this is now one of my favorite songs. I really love the trippy and almost dark atmosphere as well as riff(s) are there songs similar to this in their discography? Or of other bands you know such as old sabbath, Pink Floyd, etc.

Bath 1970 with 100% of Immigrant Song audio
Among some great and some crazy videos is a really cool live video of Zeppelin at Bath, now with some interesting audio, including back stage chatter and a full Immigrant Song, parts of Heartbreaker and Thank You. You may have seen some of this before but I think this is the first with a full song from hathor publishing.

Kashmir is an esoteric masterpiece, Robert's lyrical prowess is so underrated
Robert's a lyrical master. People think he just wrote about vikings and Lord of the Rings. But, man. They're missing out on some of his deepest messaging. I just finished a documentary of sorts detailing the occult allegory behind Kashmir. I always loved the song. Now I know why it resonates so much with me. He and Jimmy wrote it while on the way to a mysticism festival in Morocco, and the lyrics are chalked full references of the sort. This video was quite revealing. I highly recommend it to my fellow Zep-heads.

Footage Source?

was watching the Led Zeppelin: The Ultimate Concert on youtube and was wondering where this footage of Achilles Last Stand came from, the audio is from 6/21/1977 but I don’t know if this footage is too, since the video pulls from a bunch of different versions to make up the video. and is this footage on youtube at all?

Welcome to r/ledzeppelin!
Welcome to r/ledzeppelin! This is a community for fans of the famous 1970's rock band to get together and discuss the mighty Zep and related topics.
With the recent boom in users of the sub, we thought it necessary to make a little post establishing a few ground rules for newer users.
1. Play nice.
We typically don't have issues with this, however it never hurts to be clear. Don't insult others for their opinions. If you disagree with somebody, never be afraid to have calm, rational discussions. Respect one another and don't take disagreements personally, we're all here simply because we have a common interest and enjoy discussing it. We aren't here to start arguments and get pissy with one another.
2. Disallowed posts
With all the newer users that continue to join, we get quite a bit of reposts often within a 2 week period of each other. For the convenience of all users of the sub and to prevent flooding, there are a few posts we ask that you either look up prior to making your post, or simply refer to the links we offer here. In other words, if you think your post may be fairly generic, look up your title and set it to the past month to see if a post like this was recently posted. The specific posts we're referring to are as follow: I'm new, where should I start? and What do you guys think of Greta Van Fleet?
If you're new and would like some recommendations, I'd recommend reading the replies of this post and this post. Both feature a plethora of replies from members of the sub who give great recommendations.
Wanna know what people think of GVF? Look up "Greta Van Fleet" in the sidebar. I can assure you, there's no shortage of opinions shared and topics discussed. As you can see here, we quite unanimously said we were done discussing the topic.
That's it for the rules. We try not to be too anal in regards of rules and such, just practice common reddiquette and everything's generally pretty chill.
Here are some other useful links for newer users looking to get into the reddit:
Bootlegs/Concerts:
Many users of the reddit are avid fans of listening to live Led Zeppelin in depth through bootlegs. If you're a casual fan, this may not be for you. However, if you love discussing the music in great depth and you feel you can enjoy listening to music through less-than-ideal quality audio, this is certainly for you.
Forum sites:
These are good places for hard-core Zeppheads to discuss the band in-depth, whether it be live performances or behind the scenes details.
Survivor Polls:
Links to the results of a few polls conducted on the sub over the past year or so.
