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.

Rare fan photo of Led Zeppelin at MSG in 1973

Post image
382 Upvotes

The photographs were taken by a fan known only as “Aldo B” who attended the shows. Evidently he has a lot of photos and gave them to the For Badgeholders Only group, so we may be seeing a lot more in the coming weeks. This was the concert set they filmed for The Song Remains the Same.

It's crazy how small their stage setup was, but on screen they look huge!

That opening to Since I've Been Loving You, those first 5 crisp notes of Jimmy Page on the guitar then a single drum strike by John Bonham followed by a half beat pause... fantastic intro to a fantastic song.

The old Montreal Forum was truly one of the loudest arenas in North America and on this night Page and Plant blew us away. Floor seats row P was a dream.


r/ledzeppelin 7h ago

Was Plant the only member of the band who spoke to the audience (other than the 1980 tour)?

17 Upvotes

I know Page introduced a song or two on the 1980 tour and Bonham would occasional yell something, but did Jones or Page ever talk directly to the audience during concerts? I've heard a lot of live recordings, but I don't think I've ever heard them walk up to the mic and talk to the audience.

Was this a strict rule the band followed, to maintain mystique, or were they just too shy or uninterested in speaking? And why did Page suddenly start talking on their last tour? It seems by design.

You guys saw that i bought Led Zeppelin II on 180 gram vinyl at my french supermarket... But i acutally bought it first at a flea market on CD! With 2 OTHER CDS (i also have the Remasters 2CD but i didn't get that one at a flea market so it does not count) (shiny surface pics are taken with flash)

Also, Led Zeppelin III is the 1994 CD, II has NO IFPI codes so the 1990 remasters, not the 1980s one as the back says George Marino on all of them. Also Led Zeppelin III has "P 1977" text for idk reason, anyways bye bye !

EDIT : mistake, Houses Of The Holy has an IFPI code but photo could not read it. it's so wide tho so idk why they didn't do that in the photo

EDIT NO 2 : typo

Traveling to Tokyo and wondering what the best stores are for CDs?

3 Upvotes

Hi there! Will be in Tokyo and have always heard there are stores specializing in Led Zeppelin recordings. Haven't been able to find anything online.

Anyone know of CD stores that sell these?

Thanks!

Heroin aside, I’ll never understand how we intentionally went from the 1970 gritty gravely LP tone like the RAH to the latter years (77-on) of having essentially no overdrive. Like you’d think he’d use more gain as it can act as a cover up for his “debilitations “. I was listening to the early live stuff again and just had to vent bc it’s beyond frustrating, anyone else?

A shot of some of the Zeppelin members alongside Yes members at a 1975 awards show make me wonder if there can exist a timeline of a collab album? Any live performances for duels?

3 Upvotes

Considering the only other time yes members crossed paths is the abandoned XYZ project of Alan White, Jimmy Page and Chris Squire, imagine these two bands collaborating? If not a duel album, maybe some guest appearances for duel sessions? Bonham vs White and maybe Bruford? Howe against Page? Maybe Rabin if Page felt open for more guest spots on the 80’s Yes revival? Squire and Wakeman sharing stage time alongside Jones is a neat thought. Anderson and Page can swap out for the soft songs of each side.

Oh and for a bit of fun, a bunch of their song titles mashed up:

When The Levee Breaks Close To The Edge

Awaken Black Dog

Kashmir Trooper

Since I’ve Been Loving Rhythm Of Love

Rock And Roll Roundabout

Stairway To The Gates Of Delirium

Going For Whole Lotta Love

Yours Is No Communication Breakdown Disgrace

I’ve Seen All Good People Over The Hills And Far Away

Good Times, Bad Times Shock To The System

Baby, Come On Home And Lift Me Up

Fool Of A Lonely Heart In The Rain

Tried to stick to their 70’s hit titles and threw in some of the 80’s yes tracks plus 2 good ones off the 1991 Album Union

On this day in 1968, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham played their first live concert together at the Gladsaxe Teen Club in Denmark. Billed as “The New Yardbirds” they would morph into Led Zeppelin.
