gibsonfan159 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Whoever edited the video deserves some kind of award. The mimicked live footage is spot on and the whole feel and attitude of the song is represented perfectly, right down to the underwater swamp footage. I think this video is a hidden gem in the Zep catalog and is just as noteworthy as any t-shirt or poster.

It must be almost sixteen years since I watched that , I only played it once or twice back in 03 when DVD came out.

It was created for a MTV Zep weekend celebration coinciding with the release of the 1990 box set. I always believed at the time that it was done by MTV.

Mook Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I too thoroughly enjoy the video. Used to have it on VHS for years before it came out on DVD. I never watch it now but it was brilliantly put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I agree, this video was an artistic acheivement back in the video days. It illustrated the song nicely and fm rock radio had turned to playing travelling riverside blues alot in the mid to later 80s...so again, the timing was perfect for led zeppelin marketing.

EaglesOfOneNest Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What a great video of one of my favorite Zep songs! Thanks for sharing. What was that bit with Robert and the elderly woman all about? She certainly seemed to be enjoying herself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danelectro Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I remember being about 16 when this came out and talking with my guy friends about “new Zeppelin!”, and “whoa, Zeppelin made a video”. I watched it last week for the first time in about 25-ish years. Love m some TRB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpat Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Not the video, but the SONG itself I remember FOR THE FIRST TIME HEARING at a gig of an ex-roadie of Jimmy Page's (Joe Jammer). The club was noisy but the radio station playing over the din of the crowd was playing a song that sounded VERY ZEP LIKE. I thought maybe I had too much to drink the next day, but the next afternoon the same radio station played "Traveling Riverside Blues" and then and there I knew it was a newly uncovered Zep song someone "found" (this would have been the late 1980s, before the box set). I realize it was on the BBC back in 1969, but here it the U.S., it was something new to behold! Edited August 14, 2019 by dpat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
