Youtube Recordings Taken Down by "Mistake?"

The mystery of Led Zeppelin video clips vanishing from YouTube has been solved.

No sooner has the rock giants’ comeback gigs at London’s O2 Arena, aka The Dome, ended this week than the clips started appearing.

But just as quickly YouTube’s owner Google started removing them and displaying their well-known red takedown boxes.

That is not unusual. Except in this case none of the copyright holders who might have requested this action actually

had done so. Google said Warner Music Group was responsible, which would make sense as it owns the rights to the band’s songs. But Warner had not sent the takedown requests, nor it seemed had the band, nor any of the other miscellaneous parties with a stake in the concerts, such as the venue’s owner, O2 or the promoter.

Finally a New York company confessed. GrayZone monitors copyright violations on behalf of media companies, but on this occasion it had been a little over zealous.

“Grayzone regrets that it erroneously issued takedown notices to YouTube regarding footage of Led Zeppelin’s December 10th concert,” the company said in a statement. “We acted without authorisation from the band or Warner Music Group.”

Grayzone’s Dorothy Sherman said that the company had removed around 300 clips before it realised its mistake. An easy one to make, it would seem, as the company currently has a list of 17,000 songs to be on the look out for.

OOps?!

So it seems there was no violation of terms, and that the videos were taken down unnecessarily!

Album Review : Houses Of The Holy

Artist: Led Zeppelin Album: Houses Of The Holy Review: >For me, Led Zeppelin began as the epitome of everything good about rock: solid guitar work, forceful vocals and rhythmic backing, devotion to primal blues forms, and most of all, thunderous excitement on stage and vinyl. But as superstardom came to them, so too came the gradual evaporation of those qualities from their sound. In the same way that the Rolling Stones evolved into a senior, “safe” bi…

Album Review : Led Zeppelin I

Artist: Led Zeppelin Album: Led Zeppelin I Review: The popular formula in England in this, the aftermath era of such successful British bluesmen as Cream and John Mayall, seems to be: add, to an excellent guitarist who, since leaving the Yardbirds and/or Mayall, has become a minor musical deity, a competent rhythm section and pretty soul-belter who can do a good spade imitation. The latest of the British blues groups so conceived offers little tha…

Article : Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same

The word was out about Kingdom Come. Even before the band’s debut album was released, the record-industry buzz was that it had the potential to be a smash hit. And there’s a good reason, say the buzzers: Kingdom Come sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin. So it Kingdom Come hits big, nobody’ll be too surprised – because although the band may be the latest and most shameless outfit to learn that sounding like Led Zeppelin is a ticket to the top, it certainly isn’t alone. In just the past year…

Article : Led Zeppelin: The Full Report From David Fricke

For the second encore of their first, full concert in twenty-seven years, at London’s 02 arena last night, Led Zeppelin tore into “Rock and Roll,” from their untitled fourth album, with a joyful vengeance. As drummer Jason Bonham hammered with the ghostly precision and ferocity of his late father, guitarist Jimmy Page fired dirty chunks of Chuck Berry and bassist John Paul Jones kept iron time with familiar reserve, singer Robert Plant sang the most obvious words of the night: “Been a long…

Article : Q&A: John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones’ small bombshell in the current issue of Rolling Stone — “There is a band meeting in January” — will be more than enough to set off new tremors of hope among fans for a full-fledged tour following the group’s December 10th reunion performance at the O2 arena in London. But in these additional excerpts from an exclusive interview a week after the concert, Jones also talks about Zeppelin’s intense preparations for that night, the backstage vibe,…
