Atmosphere by Joy Division

This isn't a song, this is a feeling, a memory, a way of life, this is art.

I went to the O2 Arena last night to watch New Order. The lights went off and for 10 minutes people were walking out and leaving to catch the train. Suddenly, the lights begin to rotate and focus on the stage… they all come back. Those of us who stayed got the privilege of watching Joy Division perform three of their songs, with this powerhouse of a beauty at the start… it’s a moment I’ll always keep dear in my heart. Don't leave until the lights come back on. I might be in the minority here, but I love that even though they've been New Order for 42 years and their sound has changed so dramatically from what it was when they were Joy Division, every so often they still play their songs and acknowledge Joy Division is how and why they exist in the 1st place. Where did you see them? The boiler shop in Newcastle

joy division makes me feel joy.

Derrick Dove & the Peacekeepers, When Did I Get Old, 2023

It might not be what you expected, but if you are old, appreciate it. Some never get the chance.

I’m 74, my husband 76. We started “going steady” at 15 & 17. Just recently we realized we are at the end. It’s a very sobering thought. Sooner or later, every human being will have this realization. Memories are made when you aren’t even aware. Enjoy life, and as they say… don’t sweat the small stuff!

Not that we have much say in the matter

This song has generated so many comments. I'm not surprised. That's what good songs do. 

I’m 81 and just retired last month after 58 yrs. Joints feel 90 but the rest feels 45

The exterior may show some wear and tear the chassis is a bit run down, but the engine is still running and humming right along and for that, I am more than grateful. Kindness, the best medicine.

Growing old is not for amateurs. Never ever regret getting old because it is a privilege that has been denied to many. Any morning you wake up, it is a pretty good start.

My granny always said "It's a good day when you wake up."

I have something for You to think about: If Led Zeppelin doesn't play at my funeral, I'm not dying.

Wednesday, ‎26 ‎August ‎2015

Led Zeppelin perform 'Whole Lotta Love' at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. 

 80yrs old, i was there in that audience.... I think my ears are still ringing... 

I’m 80 and this remains mind boggling even now! What a time it was to be alive in the 60s and 70s! Rock on!🤘🏻 

 This is the most organized, and best sounding, chaos has ever been.

Four guys (singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer). Fans close to stage. No riots. No fireworks (except the band's performance). No special effects. Nothing but raw, unfiltered, straight-up rock and roll. Amazing. This is how it was. This is how it should be again. 

That one fan who shouted "woman!!" and to which Plant replied "aah". That's one of the best moment you could ever have as a fan. About 4:58That was funny. Plant was like a teacher telling a cocky schoolkid not to get ahead of the poem being read. In 2024 he couldn't put the word woman in a song because we don't know what the definition of a woman now.

Robert: WAYY DOOWNNN INSIIIIDEEE... Audience member at 4:53 : WOMAAAN... Robert: Ah!  

Astounding! If ever Rock-n-Roll gods existed, here they are. And imagine, you could stand there right up close, your elbows on the stage, while this happened. I have no words. 

I love Led Zeppelin because as you scroll through the top comments, there are comments of admiration and adoration separately for all four band members. That's remarkable.

I am 74 yrs old, I saw them 8 times in Houston starting 1970, the best ever.  

Two greatest bands ever: Zeppelin and The Beatles, beautiful lyrics and beautiful riffs.

In a similar vein, Queen was unique in that all 4 members wrote a #1 song.

I noticed that too. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

only band I can think of where every member is an absolute virtuoso in their craft

Ugh they sound and look so damn good. This era of rock is unparalleled and my soul aches for it.

Yes. I lived it. My boyfriend worked for a major rock concert promoter in our hometown of New Orleans in the 70s. I saw shows backstage or in photographer's seats. He worked with LZ, the Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, R.E.M., everybody. Beam me back to the 70s, Scotty. My soul aches for that era for a lot of reasons, especially the music.

This day was Jimmy's 26th birthday. JPJ had turned 24 a few days before. Robert and Bonzo were both 21. They were so young and so unbelievably good!!

Page, Plant and Jones are masters, but that beast on the kit is what makes them godlike.

기타를 연주하는 경지를 뛰어넘고 또 뛰어남어서 가지고 노는 경지입니다!!

Best guitarist. Best drummer. Best singer. Best bass player. ALL in one group!!

John Paul Jones: the most criminally underrated bass player of all time. The way he and Bonham understood each other and created a tapestry of rhythm and groove never fails to amaze.

That voice! The hair! Those jeans! Hell yeah!

Who had the best HAIR in all of Rock History? Robert Plant, of course. So tall, so handsome, my sister met him at an LA restaurant & said he was better looking in person. @teresavandyck784             

The live video of the song really captures how heavy it actually was. Certified early heavy metal classic.

Jonesy may not have had the popularity the rest of the members but his contribution is just unmistakable. His bass is just flawless and powerful in this song. He could play a lot of instruments. He was the one who wrote Black Dog, and also the one who showed Jimmy how to play it

Bonham was the heartbeat that drove the band; Jonsey was the glue.

The way Bonham's brain was wired was simply out of the ordinary. No drummer ever did it like him.  

   0:10 In fact, that look that Jimmy and Robert give is phenomenal, it should be on the list of the greatest moments in the history of Rock!

Plants voice is like a fingerprint! It is one of a kind! His voice was at its very best, the late 60s and early 70s! You have the perfect recipe of musicians as a foursome called Led Zeppelin. 

I listen to Pink Floyd a lot but when I think about the ultimate rock and roll it has absolutely Led Zeppelin!

Long ago and far away, there was Bach, Beethoven and then Led Zeppelin. The final chapter of great music.

these guys were only 22-26 years old during this show, completely fully formed, original and inimitable.

How is it possible that some of Led Zeppelin's songs sound extraordinary when they performed live?

all their songs sound better live imo. Heavier.

Their individual talents brought together with the chemistry between these 4 was PURE MAGIC!! I was born in 70 so I grew up (literally bopping my my playpen to zeppelin, my parents still have the old footage).... Zepp gets me through everything!!!

they could perform live, they had talent and they were good at improvisation (very good)...

They are improve jammers at heart ))) Dead today

LZ (probably) the best band I ever saw live. And I've gone to 100's of concerts.

What they did in studio and what they did on stage was one and the same. It's the reason why Zep 1 was recorded in like 36 hours. They'd just hit record on a jam session and boom, that's essentially the record.

Jones is the best member of Led Zeppelin. You have Jimmy killing it on guitar, Robert singing, Bonzo is keeping the time. all 3 of them gunning hard for the spotlight. Jones holds them all together in every last song! He's consistent, he's well trained, he's the most important piece!

I thank God every day that I had the grace to grow up in this time. The memory will last a lifetime

This is "Whole Lotta Love" Best live version ever. Especially if it the Legendary "Royal Albert Hall". You Damn right it's gonna be Iconic!

Whoever screamed out "Woman" from the audience, is a legend. 4:59 min. . .hit that correct note. .I can never listen to this without a tear in my eye. It was one of my cousin Tracey’s favourite songs and we used to dance to it down at the local rock club in the late 1970s and ‘80s. I loved it too. Tracey died in 2001 from her fourth lot of cancer. She was 42. @DizMO-j9k

I saw the band June 1972. I was pregnant and I was the most happiest young woman in the world

Considering that the industry has officially killed rock, enjoy my friends the greatest live rock band in history slaying their most iconic song!! T.u.r.n. I.t. U.p. !! 

Led Zeppelin perform Bring It On Home, live at the Royal Albert Hall 1970 

They didn’t play songs…they attacked them. Pure genius

This sounds so much nastier and amazing than any other cut they did of the song. Less polished, more raw. I love it. Can’t believe this is 55 years old.  
   Jimmy is the coolest dude to ever rock an argyle sweater vest. I already thought I need to find one like that...Page was cool without even knowing how cool.

Rock And Roll (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, 1973)."Rock and Roll" single 8 November 1971

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled It's been a long time since I did the Stroll Oh let me get it back let me get it back Let me get it back baby where I come from It's been a long time been a long time Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time Yes it has

For me this is the best start for a concert.

This was what Page and Plant used as an encore performance to close the shows during 1998

such a raw and heavy version - rips it wide open

The first I heard of Led Zeppelin was their name carved into a desk at school!

A feast for the eyes, a feast for the hears, a feast for the heart, a feast for the soul.

No strobe lights no lasers no smoke machines no fireworks just the most kick ass band ever.

I was at this concert . I was 21 yrs old , never forget that night. holy shit... maybe I got a little jealous.. ok forget "a little" must be amazing!! I was not even walking this earth that time. Damn, I'm jelly. I wish I went to this concert but It was like 20 years before I was born. We’re you in the crowd at 0:33 or the other crowd featured? And why are there 2 different crowds in the video?!? Because there’s film from 3 different nights.     
 

             

A time when rock and roll ruled. Led Zeppelin were rock gods. Nobody could touch them. Their sound ran through your veins. I go back in time listening to these sounds that shattered the stratosphere.

Live Performance Video - "Foxey Lady (Miami Pop, 1968)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience 

I was at this concert. I was 17 years old and somewhere in the audience. People were sitting around because this was an all day festival with lots of bands. Very hot also.

Really? Let's see.. He said he was 17, the concert was in 1968, subtract 1968 from 2018, add his age +/- for his birthday... And you have 67/68 years of age. Simple math.

2018-1968 = 50+17 = 67 quick maths

Jimi Hendrix's fashion remains undefeated

I once heard someone say, “Jimi Hendrix never died Heaven was just part of his tour.”

He wasn’t just a musician. He was the embodiment of freedom of expression, and a master showman.

Jimi had been playing guitar for only about 10 years at this show! 10 YEARS! He started at age 13 and died at age 27... everything we've ever heard him do was done over a span of 14 years.

Dude had impeccable timing with rhythm and lead, a downright sexy voice, a gripping stage presence, and timeless fashion.

Say Jimi in Chicago 1968 at the old Coliseum stadium, I have never been the same. Thanx Jimi !

Hendrix for me is The Messiah of music. Everybody aspires to be him and yet nobody can replicate the godlike guitar skills and musical composition which seems to tap into abstract realms. 

As a Boomer, I recall hearing “Are you Experienced,” “Fresh Cream,” and “the Doors” around the same time in 1967

Mitch Mitchell on drums is an absolute beast

 John (Mitch) Mitchell was taught by drummer Jim Marshall (yes, the amplifier builder).

Here for Dad, who passed on 12 years ago today. He was in a band himself in his youth, and he always admired Hendrix. Every year I like to have a good old Jimi session to mark the day and remember. Rest in Power Jimi and my father, John x @carolynfastories

You know it's good when you see 18 different languages in the comment section

This has got to be the heaviest hook/riff /guitar sound ever. This is just goddamn. Hendrix is untouchable.
