[RickBeato]

Ok, this video was originally blocked and I got an email from YouTube today saying it was unblocked. I didn’t do anything it just happened. Thank you Led Zeppelin:) and all of you who reached out to them on Twitter. I think that’s what did it.

[JohnSmith-oekx]

Plant and Bonham were 21, Jones was 23 and Page was the old man of 25 when they recorded this classic. The band had been in existence for about a year. So much talent.

[Garbledmouth]

This is the equivalent of watching a 13th century master stonemason point out the masterwork of a cathedral built in the 12th century to a journeyman he is training. Thank you, Mr. Beato. We don't deserve this level of instruction, but we are thankful for it.

[ralphmunn]

This was the FIRST live music I ever heard - BY ACCIDENT. Went to see Taj Mahal, the opening act for "some band" I never heard of (!) Got 8th row seats on the center aisle of a small, acoustically perfect classical music venue. I was pretty excited...

Then the promoter came out and apologized; Taj's truck had broken down, and he wasn't going to make it. I wanted to leave, but my older brother wanted to stay.

I remember that the promoter offered, "You can either have four hours of Led Zeppelin, or you can leave and get your $5 back." We stayed.

That night, Jimmy Page ruined a perfectly good Boy Scout.

[garyfox]

Ok, my dream video would be Rick interviewing Pagey himself. Everyone else wants to ask the band about their party-hard lifestyle. I can only imagine what that qualitative, in the studio interview with Jimmy Page about writing, playing, and recording would be like.

[dee_be]

"real people playing music together" that says it all.

[chrismcgady]

Dear Jimmy Page,

Do the universe one small thing and get in touch with Rick Beato and let him talk with you about music. Let him film it so we can all hear what you guys talk about.

[matt_pacheco_music]

We need every Zeppelin song picked apart like this

[dappa_chappa]

"In the darkest depths of Mordor, l met a girl so fair. But Gollum and evil one, crept up and slipped away with her." Man l dig those Tolkien references.

[PaulWW]

To be fair Jimmy Page, in my opinion, was the greatest song arranger of the rock era.

[jmendi]

For me, Page is the most creative guitarist ever. He wrote so many parts that most guitarists would have made the prominent guitar hook of a song, but for Page they were pieces of the puzzle.


Now that they seem to have taken the handcuffs off, please do more Zeppelin.

[ScottStronghill]

This episode left me actually crying, and then laughing at myself for crying over a song and a YouTube video. Hearing the instruments and vocals isolated, the passion with which you talk about the musicianship, Rick, and the pure joy in your face listening to what has ALWAYS been one of my favourite songs of all time - it's just overwhelming and emotional. THIS is music.

[billr]

Youtube to Led Zeppelin : "Rick Beato did a video about one of your songs."
LZ: "BLOCK IT! DELETE IT!"
YT: "OK, done. Shame though. He breaks the song down to its component parts and demonstrates through that process what utterly brilliant, insanely talented, and unique musicians you all are."
LZ: "UNBLOCK IT! UNDELETE IT!"

[alanduncan]

Interview with a guitarist-
Rick: So in the bridge you decided to use V7 substitution from a parallel scale and then use a #5 mirrored from the bass player.
Guitarist: Well, I was messing around and thought putting my pinkie on the 8th fret sounded cool!


Guitar players come here to find out what they did.

[AndrewHgs]

Thanks to Jimmy and Robert and management for allowing Rick's video, his superb enthusiastic and knowledgeable deep dive into this beautiful song. He is like an art critic appreciating a masterpiece, looking into the artist's technique, brush strokes and composition. The ultimate educational video maker on YouTube.

[BeauJames]

How can you NOT love the Beato? Enthusiasm, knowledge, taste? He's got it all.

[mrminer]

Well, this is slightly terrifying. Rick Beato opened his mouth, and the internet listened. That's some serious internet-power, Rick! Use it wisely, and don't destroy us with your new Personal Army! ;)

[lee_at_sea]

I'm gonna' figure Jimmy Page just became a Rick Beato fan
.. given that the boys likely made a decision to let this one re-post .. you know Jimmy just heard this, loved it, and told his management to stop their banhammering.
.. I bet he's going through all the Beato stuff now. Learnin' jazz theory. :)

[stodvaarg]

Having a guitar in front of him and still plays air-guitar :D Only Rick can do that and still be adorable and funny because he has a true passion for the music.

[JayLouie-gj]

I seen Led Zeppelin in 1973 and 1975 in MSG, still to this day the best life performance I ever seen, plain and simple.
