This Lost Led Zeppelin 16mm Sound Check Footage Has Been Found, Paris LIVE ’69
Blowing Paris Away
Plant’s vocals in this video literally take our breath away as he and his mates rehearse and perform “Communication Breakdown” and “Dazed and Confused” at Antenne Culturelle du Kremlin-Bicêtre on the Tous en Scene show in Paris.
The rehearsal/ sound check footage portion of this video is quite rare as Zep may not have known that they were recording at the time, or necessarily approved it.
Bonham, otherwise known as Bonzo, bangs, thrashes, and annihilates the sets as if he could do it in his sleep as Plant inserts his signature screech and scream of rock.
“I’m having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!”
Tous en Scene was a French TV show featured in the 2003 DVD Led Zeppelin , although this Parisian crowd does not quite seem to realize that they were in the presence of true rock n’ roll royalty.
+ Communication Breakdown Lyrics +
Hey, girl, you’ll drive me to ruin.
I don’t know what it is that I like about you, but I like it a lot.
Won’t let me hold you, Let me feel your lovin’ charms.
I’m having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I’m never gonna let you go, ‘Cause I like your charms.
+ Dazed and Confused Lyrics +
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talkin’, few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below.
Run around sweet baby, Lord how you hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don’t know where you’ve been.
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don’t know where you’re goin’, only know just where you’ve been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?
