The year was 1995 when Led Zeppelin took the stage for such a different performance at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction. The song was 'When The Levee Breaks', but a complete different take. Plus, Neil Young also joined them for the performance. One more, Robert Plant grabs... show more

Jimmy Page is the man.
He's just a legend.
Neil Young is one of the most overrated musicians to ever grace a stage. Fun to see Plant with a guitar though.
The worst version of this song that I’ve ever heard. Unbelievable, how they butchered it.
Their 70s “Levee Breaks” was a cover of a 1929 blues track from the deep, struggling South—raw music born from survival, barely recorded. Zeppelin took that, made it iconic with pounding drums and a guitar that moved like a second voice next to Plant—pure, unfiltered blues. Fast forward to ’95, they’re covering their own cover, adding Neil Young and giving EVERYONE a guitar. The idea was cool, but in trying to vibe on it, they lost the grit and stripped-down feel that gave the original its crushing weight
Honestly? What a mess. None of the greatness of the original track is evident. Neil Young is so discordant. I love Zeppelin but if you had never heard them then this wouldn't encourage you to listen further. Here's how it should sound:
Neil Young shamelessly hogging center stage. And his guitar playing is horrendously embarrassing. Page can't stop laughing.
Who knew that Neil Young was the Fifth Zeppelin! 😲
That sucks ... Neil Young does not belong anywhere near a Led Zep song.
![Origins of Battle of Evermore, The song was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at Headley Grange while Page was experimenting on John Paul Jones's mandolin. Page explained in 1977 that 'Battle of Evermore' was made up on the spot by Robert and myself. I just picked up John Paul Jones's mandolin, never having played a mandolin before, and just wrote up the chords and the whole thing in one sitting. For the recording of the song, singer Sandy Denny was invited to duet with Plant. Denny was a former member of British folk rock group Fairport Convention, with whom Led Zeppelin had shared a bill in 1970 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. Plant played the role of the narrator and Denny represented the town crier. Page elaborated that "[The song] sounded like an old English instrumental first off. Then it became a vocal and Robert did his bit. Finally we figured we'd bring Sandy by and do a question-and-answer-type thing." To thank her for her involvement, Denny was given the symbol on the album sleeve of three pyramids (the four members of Led Zeppelin each chose their own symbols for the album). This is the only song Led Zeppelin ever recorded with a guest vocalist. In an interview he gave in 1995 to Uncut magazine, Plant stated that "For me to sing with Sandy Denny was great. We were always good friends with that period of Fairport Convention. Richard Thompson is a superlative guitarist. Sandy and I were friends, and it was the most obvious thing to ask her to sing on 'The Battle of Evermore'. If it suffered from naivete and tweeness—I was only 23—it makes up for in the cohesion of the voices and the playing. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant performing 'Battle of Evermore' live from the No Quarter DVD. This performance also features Najma Akhtar. What a piece, just brilliant.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1978560779315257791/ext_tw_video_thumb/1978560581045981185/pu/img/pCzvAVBOPmkuV1pL.jpg)
