Although it is quite different to the original it is just as catchy, just as dynamic and just as enjoyable to listen to.
word
You sir are so fucking……. right. I love the hell out of this version.
What the fuck?
Playing this symphonic Zeppelin for an old fogie or any other stiff is a great way to open the door to them of the greatest band in history. Otherwise, it's useless….nothing compares to the original. Led Zeppelin was, is and will always be the ultimate rock band.
How's about next time you read the video title? It clearly states this is the symphonic version.
google Youtube Converter and it'll download an mp4 of the video to your computer, and then google AoA Audio converter, and you can take the audio from the video in the MP3 format and you can put that right into iTunes for your iPod.
no. that is in fact false. led zeppelin could barely play their instruments and their singer couldn't sing in key. they are the ultimate joke.
I hope your kidding.
Do not feed the troll.
yeah I think the key word with this version is 'dynamic'… that's what really gets hold of you
its weird listening 2 this cause its supposed 2 be a blues song but then done by a orchestra still kick ass though
Sounds Good
LZRaocks!
Thank you!
IN LED ZEPPELIN WE TRUST
Taking it to another levee !! Level… Cool. ;o)
An American Folk Song, made into an English Rock Song, then made into a Symphonics piece. I love how music changes like that.
"When the levee breaks" is an American folk song? So, Led Zeppelin wasn't the original performer of it?
Yea, it's an American folk song written about the New Orleans Region sometime in the 1920's or 30's.
I can definitely agree. I want to play FFIX now… 🙂
Brilliant.
Thanks, guys, I didn't know that.
Shouldnt the writing credit go to Memphis Minnie?
You are correct, the song was originally written by Memphis Minnie but this cover by the London Philharmonic Orchestra is much closer to the Led Zeppelin version than the original, in my opinion.
lol at all these people who like it
gay as fuck, why ruin such an awesome song?
blackopsrule, what do you have against gay people?
Indeed, I agree, tho I don't feel myself foggy, just a fogey 😉
And, dude, if RECORDED & played with 6.1 in mind, it would melt the subwoofer
rock is dead they say!
=US=
Try scoring something like, then you can critcize
APC version is better
apc cannot be compare ok? maynard REMADE the song not remix its a totaly diffrent song, with a totaly diffrent vib with the sameish lyrics
but damn this is fucking awesome!! another totaly different feel amazing!
Where can you buy this version of the song? This is very well done….
The stacatto horns with the racing violins and flutes sounded cool around 5:45.
But I still think of the raw tone of page's screaming slide…
@thegreatNEb. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.
It's good, but lacks a certain crispiness…. maybe its the recording quality.
wrong, this is amazing
Magnificent! Led Zeppelin's version of When the Levee Breaks is a powerful music statement on the elemental force of water but it took a full symphony orchestra to bring it to fruitition. Rock on London Philharmonic! Listen to this on a rainy day
thats not mine….did u wash it?
well im in the driveway about to leave….
This the most incredible rendering of Led Zeps masterpiece. If you listen closely you will hear Katrina approaching and those driving waves beating on the levee. You will even hear the quiet when the eye passes over and then the pounding and driving wind and rain builds until the crashing sound of the levee breaking and the chaotic rush of water everywhere and the people fleeing in all directions. I am haunted by the last lyrics of the song…going down going down now…
@aczartek
Beleive me, sound is here bad. With good sound quality it sounds amazing.
Brilliant…
if you dig this , see " it might get loud " Page is as old as me, too cool to die.
Hippie , class of 73.
@deadendkid1968 No, the credit should not go to Memphis Minnie. The part of Led Zeppelin's song that was credited to Memphis Minnie was the lyrics, not instrumental parts; and being that this has no lyrics, Memphis Minnie has no direct influence.
Brillianttt. amazing arrangement
EPIC!
amazing
Thats some James Bond tier music right here!
