I saw these guys on their No Quarter tour by accident... lol... Somehow my girlfriend confused Page & Plant for Robert Palmer (Of Addict to Love fame) and bought us tickets to what she thought was going to be a Robert Palmer show... I was just trying to be a good boyfriend and was just along for the ride. I had no idea she made a mistake and actually bought us tickets to see Page & Plant until the show start.... lol... she was pissed... lol... i was thrilled!!!!
This is great. Imagine not knowing you're going to see one of the greatest guitar player & singer combination of all time thinking your going to see Robert Palmer and then being hit in the face with Led Zeppelin music all night.... well played good sir... I think she was fucking with you though and keeping it a surprise...
This tune was introduced over 50 years ago. How much music that bands play now will be heard 50 years from now? They were a masterpiece!! There is only one Led Zeppelin and no band has ever compared to them and never will be. I am thankful I grew up on their music when times were much different then today. I still am old school and only listen to music from my past, in the 70s. I have not found any music that compares to that era. Guess I'm old and stubborn, but that's the way it is and my taste in music at 64 will forever be old school.
I can remember watching this on TV. My wife was at work at the airport. We were in our first new apt together, a year married at this point. and I couldn't believe what I was seeing because no one ever thought this would or could even happen.
I'm 54 and was introduced to Led Zeppelin at the age of maybe 5 or 6 due to neighbors' teenagers blasting the Zep out of their homes. Nothing better. "Friends" still has that boogie-ish style to it.
The Egyptian ensemble, the dark timbres, the inimitable guitar playing of the one and only Jimmy Page, vocals Robert Plant can only produce, and we have here and the other collaborations they did a masterpiece. Cannot stop listening. Thanks for posting.
This is a true revelation for so many reasons -- this is certainly not the usual "aging glory hound rockers" rehashing their old hits for nostalgic paunchy fans! This shows true musicians finding a new way to show the song in a context that actually indicates where the original riff and atmosphere could have come from! This whole concert was brilliant!
This was a FANTASTIC Project by Jimmy and Robert, The whole production of bringing all these great musicians together and making it work so MAGNIFICENTLY is what makes them so Revered, they truly are a MASTERCLASS ⭐️🌞👊❤️
I've heard this song 1000 times before. Never have I broken into tears like tonight! This song is packed with sooo much emotion. "The greatest thing that you ever can do now, is trade a smile with someone who's blue now." Truly, a smile costs you nothing and brings so much to those around you. God bless you, Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and (RIP) John Henry Bonham! Thank you, @HammerInMyOnionHead for uploading this! You made my night.
Wow...what a wonderful, haunting song from LZ3. This is the only other version I have ever heard. I am surprised that so few have viewed this since Feb 2010. Thanks for posting this and the many others...from a Zep fan since 1975...
I wish I would be there.Jimmy Page you are the God of rock history according to me.I am proud of myself cos I met and chat you and Robert Plant,Michael Lee (RİP) after your concert in İSTANBUL in 1998.I keep the record cover (Led Zeppelin 3) which I boughht in İtaly in 1980 and signed all of you.Sorry for poor English.
Jimmy Page, because of you and Robert Plant, that created Led Zepplin, my life changed forever, at 10 years old i heard a Whole Lotta Love that was it i was hooked, and for the last 40 years or so your music has been in my life as well as my kids i want to thank you for being such an insperation in my life.
Bert Gonzalez Oh Yea , I stumbled on to ' em ( sober ) messing with my brother's reel to reel recordings , stuff brought back from his time in Vietnam ( USAF ) That was 1969 , I was 12 . Their music has been to me about as good as it gets . Even in their later years the sounds they produce are great ! I often wish we could go through some of those years again ! Good Times Bad Times .
I used to lie awake in bed with the headphones on after I smoked some hash outside in my Folks yard and listen to this. What a fabulous rendition of one of my favourite tunes.
I was 10 in 1976 I used to sit in the living room when everyone was out of the house put the headphones on and just jam my older brothers zep albums I remember just getting lost in music.
I've been feeling nostalgic lately and was thinking about one of the greatest concerts I had ever been to, decided to check CZcams and here it is! No Quarter tour was a highlight and I have seen Zep a few times before this one, but this was magical and powerful!
I saw this tour at one of the last show's at Boston Garden - Last minute - my older brother Mike had an extra ticket - one of THE best shows I've ever seen! Forever love for Page & Plant
Bright light, almost blinding Black night, still there shining I can't stop, keep on climbing Looking for what I knew Had a friend, she once told me "You got love, you ain't lonely" Now she's gone and left me only, looking for what I knew Mmm, I'm telling you now The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy, just- Met a man on the roadside crying, Without a friend, there's no denying You're incomplete, they'll be no finding Looking for what you knew. So anytime somebody needs you Don't let them down, although it grieves you Some day you'll need someone like they do Looking for what you knew Mmm, I'm telling you now The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy just Oh, yeah My, my My, my My, my My, my I'm telling you now The greatest thing you ever can do now Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now It's very easy It's very easy It's very easy It's easy-easy, yeah, yeah
everything is more than perfect in this interpretation of a Zeppelin clasic, thanks to Robert and Jimmy for this, a gem, only one thing missing , the high pitch voice that was like the soul of the song
Listening to this tune now I think about You, my Friend. Without you, sleeping beauty, I'd be incomplete... because you've touched my heart... very deep inside.
Robert has always , I mean always been true to the song. When they did the O2 Concert , one of his conditions was no ten minute guitar solos. Thank God he did that. I look back on all the old , live Zeppelin material , and I think how much better it would have been , had the song been closer to the original.
"Without a friend you're incomplete, there's no denyin' "... Not an nice old song, but an old truth, on a very good song... Take saha, saheet Plant and Page !!!!
Oooh I'm tellin you now, the greatest thing you ever can do now, is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, So true. Great song... great lyrics. And, of course, the greatest... Jimmy Page.
i just imagine the Egyptian Ensemble and London Metropolitan Orchestra asked to rehearse and then perform with Robert and Jimmy. Their reaction priceless......:-)
Ms. Joanna,Ain't that the truth.I wish more people thought as you.Oh yeah,great version of a great,under appreciated song from LZ 3.Much Thanks,Cameron.
The most amazing thing about Zep was the variety and complexity of melodies and genres they played in. Why they are one of the most remarkable bands ever to exist.
You must appreciate.it is page and Jones who created led zep.....their technical musical knowledge.together with bonham and plant ...created a sound that is unique.....no one can replicate.....they are unique.
@LeeVaiM I think it is the Egyptian Nee (pronounced 'Nay'). Indeed a beautiful sound. If you like Arabic music, have a listen to Muhammad Abdo an Arabic singer. You may not understand the words, however, his songs and music are beautiful and legendary (he is still alive). The late Umm Kulthum was an Egyptian female singer, again legendary.
Me in 1994: "God they look old." Me in 2012: "God they look young."
They look delicious is what they look like. Especially Jimmy YUM.
Legendary comment
@@LyraKeltica61 From a male fan perspective, that made me gag :P
So true! I look older too!
Thank for that chuckle

+MrBodisha Zeppelin are the best no comparison.
+MrBodisha God loves great music and spared you from Palmer!!!
it was in 1995
greatest short story EVER!!!
This is great.

Bout 22 years and I can rem that night on MTV like it was yesterday. it was that kind of moment.
JESUS.
I'm 54 and was introduced to Led Zeppelin at the age of maybe 5 or 6 due to neighbors' teenagers blasting the Zep out of their homes. Nothing better. "Friends" still has that boogie-ish style to it.
bro your profile pic is necro. you clearly have a diverse music taste.
The Egyptian ensemble, the dark timbres, the inimitable guitar playing of the one and only Jimmy Page, vocals Robert Plant can only produce, and we have here and the other collaborations they did a masterpiece. Cannot stop listening. Thanks for posting.
Zep III was such an underrated album, I wish Page played more acoustic; it sounds great.
Jimmy Page is a genius....these chord changes!
"Friends" is my favorite song. I also love " In the light."
In the Light is one of my favorites too
Two songs that were never played live often enough :(
An absolutely brilliant song that I just had to play around with and add some drums: Enjoy! 🤩
czcams.com/users/shortsuK0_orZJ6c8?feature=share
the string section and native instruments really compliment this song. Awesome version!
This is a true revelation for so many reasons -- this is certainly not the usual "aging glory hound rockers" rehashing their old hits for nostalgic paunchy fans! This shows true musicians finding a new way to show the song in a context that actually indicates where the original riff and atmosphere could have come from! This whole concert was brilliant!
I was literally thinking thst . It’s like these guys came back and took the songs to a new place just like we KNEW they woujd .A victory
This was a FANTASTIC Project by Jimmy and Robert, The whole production of bringing all these great musicians together and making it work so MAGNIFICENTLY is what makes them so Revered, they truly are a MASTERCLASS ⭐️🌞👊❤️

Music is universal and brings people together .. Bravo Plant and Page.. .. greetings from Egypt

Plant's voice is an instrument unto itself.

is trade a smile with someone who's blue now." 💙
Michael on drums was amazing too....RIP Michael :(

Listening to this just after i smoked some hash with my friends outside in the garden. Cheers!
Did it yesterday night after enjoying some on my own yard. That sound and specifically this song is timeless, inspirational and simply amazing.
HE SINGS WITH A PASSION THAT COMES FROM HEART, AND FOR THIS REASON HE IS MY SWEETIE PRINCE..
bookguitarguy Guy, you don't know me and I don't know you... shut up.
Stella Capparelli right on Stella.he's my prince too!
Joe Flip Ok, we are Robert Plant's fans. Lol :-)
Stella Capparelli Mine too! His gorgeousness is eternal. 😊💙💫
This tour was amazing. We were lucky to see it.
I love to see music from my region mix with one of my favorite bands, love it!
Agreed!
I came to this page because Robert Plant said it was a 'pretty good bootleg' of one of his favorite performances in an interview he just gave to WFUV.
To create a song in the woods of Snowdonia - and have it need this many people to kick it up a notch says a lot - great version
Yeahhhh I saw them. In 1995 at. Mexico city. Unforgetabble.
"Friends" is such an underrated song.
I've been feeling nostalgic lately and was thinking about one of the greatest concerts I had ever been to, decided to check CZcams and here it is!
No Quarter tour was a highlight and I have seen Zep a few times before this one, but this was magical and powerful!
Love Page and Plant with the Egyptian Orchestra the sound is amazing...
love the Egyptian sound!
I love the strings too
I love the Egyptian Ensemble
I saw this tour at one of the last show's at Boston Garden - Last minute - my older brother Mike had an extra ticket - one of THE best shows I've ever seen! Forever love for Page & Plant
Bright light, almost blinding
Black night, still there shining
I can't stop, keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew
Had a friend, she once told me
"You got love, you ain't lonely"
Now she's gone and left me only, looking for what I knew
Mmm, I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy, just-
Met a man on the roadside crying,
Without a friend, there's no denying
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you
Don't let them down, although it grieves you
Some day you'll need someone like they do
Looking for what you knew
Mmm, I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy just
Oh, yeah
My, my
My, my
My, my
My, my
I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy
It's very easy
It's very easy
It's easy-easy, yeah, yeah
I loved this tour. So grateful to have seen two of the shows. Thank you for sharing.
the mixture of rock with this native music is awesome
everything is more than perfect in this interpretation of a Zeppelin clasic, thanks to Robert and Jimmy for this, a gem, only one thing missing , the high pitch voice that was like the soul of the song
"Whithout a friend there's no denying." I agree.
Wow!!! This is awesome!
thank you for not leaving your friend in this place without this music, it takes me to a place far away: home
Seen them in 98 dead center floor seats. The best concert i have ever been to.
this is by far one is my best and favorite songs from led Zeppelin
just great
Awesome good to see Jimmy is with Robert !!! FRIENDS TO THE END !!!✌❤🇺🇸🇬🇧😉✈🌎🎤😄
Today was the first time I heard this song...thank you SO MUCH for uploading this.
One word says it all...Thank You
Listening to this tune now I think about You, my Friend. Without you, sleeping beauty, I'd be incomplete... because you've touched my heart... very deep inside.
Still think about u J ! True friendship, right ?
Even if Skype doesn't work for me anymore, a nightmare to fix it (and it's not done !!!). Still love u
Saw them in 94. Never forget how they Rock.#1
This is a Jam!!!

Thank you, friends!
The lyrics to this song are words to live by.
11 people has no way to share life with me :D
love this page & plant with the egyptian ensemble!! thanks for uploading!!
63 as of 7-4-19 🇺🇸 people that have an emptiness in their life ! 😢
Robert has always , I mean always been true to the song. When they did the O2 Concert , one of his conditions was no ten minute guitar solos. Thank God he did that.
I look back on all the old , live Zeppelin material , and I think how much better it would have been , had the song been closer to the original.
Gotta love that drummer's face at the very end...says a lot IMAO.
Lovely! Has a classical Persian sound. Fab!
As usual when Page & Plant get
together
Incredible
Magnifico... Awesome Voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and that 🎸is so beautiful....ZEP FOREVER
"Without a friend you're incomplete, there's no denyin' "... Not an nice old song, but an old truth, on a very good song...
Take saha, saheet Plant and Page !!!!
thanks again for uploading this :)
thanks HammerInMyOnionHead, i love this one!
Oooh I'm tellin you now, the greatest thing you ever can do now, is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, So true. Great song... great lyrics. And, of course, the greatest... Jimmy Page.
THANKYOU sooo much for posting this rendition!! IMO it's better than the studio version, this has the darkest undercurrent I practically live for.
this was strangely beautiful and moving
Outstanding, magic!
I love this so much!
i just imagine the Egyptian Ensemble and London Metropolitan Orchestra asked to rehearse and then perform with Robert and Jimmy. Their reaction priceless......:-)
Saw it in Vancouver. THEEE BOMB. \m/
What I would do for a Page and Plant acoustic tour is unreal.... i can only hope in 2021 and past, it would be the most beautiful thing in the world
I am like Robert, i am gawping in awe of the musicianship of the Eygptian orchestra.
Holy Cow, this is a really cool arrangement.
Ms. Joanna,Ain't that the truth.I wish more people thought as you.Oh yeah,great version of a great,under appreciated song from LZ 3.Much Thanks,Cameron.
That was....amazing.
"The Greatest thing you ever can do now... is trade a smile with someone that's new".... kinad says it all right there, doesn't it?
Im1sickpup someone that’s blue
It's "someone who's blue now"
Lo mejor de lo mejor!!! es claro que es musica para pocos....
This song makes me cry. The child inside of me starts to dance
It's so dark, so beautiful
I agree! It's hypnotic and so dark, beautiful ❤️
espectacular!!!
Who cares what they "look" like man, feel the gods they are in this one. That is timeless.
love this song, so true, (& such a good thing to do).aka do unto others......
@HammerInMyOnionHead Thanks from me also. I was 20 when MTV first broadcast this. Near 40 now. Frightening how quick time passes.
So different from the studio ... but just the same - love the percussion - perfect❤️
The most amazing thing about Zep was the variety and complexity of melodies and genres they played in. Why they are one of the most remarkable bands ever to exist.
I would have given my eye teeth to see this concert!
i loved the orignal stuff they put together for this album
Disfruto enormemente No Quarter fabuloso.💯💥
Amazing how classical music can complement rock music
best live of all times...
I wish John Paul Jones was there. Still baffled by that.
exelente estos dos.. SON UNA MAQUINA
friends for life.
The greatest thing you ever can do now is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, it's very easy just...
This song as underrated as an undiscovered intelligent life in the Universe.
would you please upload the complete concert? Kashmir is the greatest end!!!
Friends by Led Zeppelin way back in 1970 the new version of 1994 is still better these days ah the living legend ..........
Robert Plant is the best rock singer ever.
Pure diamond.
Also, Since I've been Lovin you--- better than I've ever heard it.
You must appreciate.it is page and Jones who created led zep.....their technical musical knowledge.together with bonham and plant ...created a sound that is unique.....no one can replicate.....they are unique.
How does he do this - RP's voice becomes an instrument.
Nobody in guitar can do this song like JIMMY PAGE and he never lost it after all of these years and the time that has gone by.
I dig it. Nice rendition.
Hossam Ramzy!!!😊💙
@LeeVaiM I think it is the Egyptian Nee (pronounced 'Nay'). Indeed a beautiful sound.
If you like Arabic music, have a listen to Muhammad Abdo an Arabic singer. You may not understand the words, however, his songs and music are beautiful and legendary (he is still alive). The late Umm Kulthum was an Egyptian female singer, again legendary.
