Watch as Neil Young gets to live out the dreams of every rock fan who grew up playing air guitar to Led Zeppelin albums in their bedrooms! In this flashback to the 1995 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, the rock giants trade licks for nearly nine minutes on this raucous rendition of “When The Levee Breaks”.
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and Jason Bonham (John Bonham’s son) were joined by Neil Young for the final song of their three-song set at the 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions ceremony. The scorching rendition of “When The Levee Breaks” is a loud and glorious affair, jam-packed with explosive guitar solos, with a brief transition into the Buffalo Springfield classic “For What It’s Worth.”, as a hat tip to Neil Young.
The epic jam was so infectiously fun that Robert Plant couldn't help grabbing an axe and joining the party. According to Jimmy McDonough’s Neil Young biography, the experience was so thrilling for Young that he was briefly inspired to record a whole album with Zeppelin, which has unfortunately never materialized … yet!
Go back and listen to Led Zep’s innovative bluesy folk, funk psychedelia, accentuated by Robert Plant's banshee wail and John Bonham's leviathan grooves with This is Led Zeppelin on Spotify:
