I will play Coltrane`s tune in my head during this video, one of the best on Youtube.

To the fuckwit copywriters who 'claim' they protect this stuff, I'd like to bet this has done more to introduced more people to coltrane than it has turned people to bootlegging. Welcome to the modern world motherfuckers. this is advertising a product not abusing it...

AN OPEN LETTER: To all of the nearly 100,000 viewers of this video thank you! However, the audio track was removed due to a copyright claim, thereby forcing me to substitute John Cage's 4'33" audio track in it's place. Unlike the unjust quite you now hear, John Coltrane's Music will NOT be stilled nor silent in the hearts and souls of those of us who find peace in this work. YES - Take umbrage at why this work is now mute, but recall Coltrane's chanted words..."A Love Supreme." - jpfarrell68

Youtube, there is no sound on this clip anymore, what is the problem?

you're completely right; unequivocally correct. it's a huge injustice to the original blues musicians. i just wish zeppelin would have been more upfront with their adapting of the originals, and , of course, paid for their use. there's probably something to be said for the legal protections of musicians now, in terms of their work, that didn't exist back then. i could be wrong though.

Yes but imagain what a lot of those (really rather poor) blues artists felt when they saw Led Zepplein riding around in private jets and mansons, fucking super models etc because of their songs and they don't see a dime.

ehh, i know where you're coming from man but that may be an overstatement. i see their early work (where most of the controversy comes from) as rehashings of old blues songs. Some more similar to than others. They really just didn't give credit where credit was due. I look at like this, and it's in partial agreement with how you put it, they initially became famous largely through adopted blues songs, throwing their own essence in, but their legacy was made by their later originals.

Coltrane is by far the most insightful/ spiritual/ musician that ever wet a reed. Thank you for the thoughts behind this video
