All you do is copy and paste the link of the YouTube video into the reply box.
I do that and the video still doesn't appear!

Lately it's been lots of Small Faces and Deep Purple.

PLEASE HELP - can someone walk me through on how to get a video to appear instead of just the link? I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

Really? Are there videos of them on youtube?
Absolutely!
http://youtu.be/5JSuJfS2-UI - the feel and groove is F'n awesome! Greg Thompson comes closer to John Bonham than any rock drummer out there - see for yourselves.
Btw, I've seen them numerous times. Greg Thompson plays with 1, yes ONE, bass pedal!

In regards to Led Zeppelin tribute bands - Zoso, IMO, has the best drummer of all the Led Zeppelin tributes! His name is Greg Thompson, and he is as close to John Bonham as I've ever seen.

On the radio? Crap, crap, and more crap!
FM radio is dead! Has been for quite some time - for me anyways!
-
I've been on a Yes kick lately - Beyond And Before, And You And I, Heart Of The Sunrise, Wonderous Stories, Starship Trooper, The Fish, Close To The Edge, Siberian Khatru, etc., etc.

Seattle 1975, what a show!
Which show - 3/17/75 or 3/21/75?
Both are excellent, btw.
The 3/21/75 show has to be one of the best audience recordings of all-time. Eventually the soundboard will come to light.

"Charles Sharr Murray, wherever you are, KEEP TAKING THE PILLS" - 5/25/75 Earl's Court
-
"Godfathers Of Grunge" - Seattle, WA. 3/17/75
Dazed And Confused is excellent here - actually, the whole show is superb.

For example albums cuts from Steely Dan's The Royal Scam or Michael Franks The Art of Tea. You would never hear those albums played on AM radio.
Just because a song or album is played or overplayed on FM radio does not delegitimize it's greatness or lasting impact.
FM radio is a totally different animal these days.
Fact is, FM radio doesn't play those songs you've mentioned. And when a FM radio station does play something like them, they blow smoke up the public's ass by saying "it's a deep cuts weekend" - deep cuts my ass! If a song is good, it should be played regardless!
I made no mention of a song being worse because it's overplayed on FM radio. But remember this, FM radio has too much influence on the overall public. If I played, say, Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix/Band Of Gypsys as much as For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield was played, maybe Machine Gun would be the song of that decade.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is a horrible example of what the 90's was about. Why would one song define a generation? Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, and the Smashing Pumpkins are equally important as Nirvana for shaping that great period!

I have a hard time responding to threads like this. Why? Because I'm easily pissed off at the fact that all these songs that you listed have been influenced by FM radio and crap publications like Rolling Stone Magazine. Why are people brainwashed by what FM radio plays, and from what Rolling Stone Magazine prints?
Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" is a very good anti-war piece, but there aren't none better than Jimi Hendrix/Band Of Gypsys' - Machine Gun, The Animal's - Sky Pilot , or Country Joe's - I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag.
Why would Stairway To Heaven epitomize the 70's when we all know Led Zeppelin has other songs that are better? Because FM radio says so, that's why. If you asked 100 random people what album epitomized the 70's, many of those 100 would say Dark Side Of The Moon, and that's absurd to me. Why is it absurd? Because Pink Floyd made three better albums in the 70's than DSOTM - Meddle, Wish You Were Here, & Animals.

^^ I don't know if you're using chrome, but here goes: Go to the youtube video of your page, click on share, then copy the url that pops up underneath, then when you come back here click on the paste feature and copy the youtube url in the box that opens. Like so...
It's not working. Thanks though!

I want to go on record saying that there are no truly bad Zeppelin songs.
Agreed!
Same can be said for Jimi Hendrix/Band Of Gypsys.

Carouselambra. Yuck.
Strongly disagree!

Being from Chicago I'd like to think its a sound check from the Chicago Stadium - I know there's much debate about where & when its from. : )
The only sure thing about that soundcheck is that it isn't from Chicago. Plant's voice was shot during their stint in Chicago that year. If any of you have all the bootlegs from Chicago in 73' you'll know this to be true. Plant's voice was in fine form during that soundcheck.
Best and worst tribute bands...
