If Zeppelin can have an underrated song for the general public, this would be the one.
Absofreakinlutely !
Amen brother. This song should be as well known as Stairway
For sure, MOST ppl only know Stairway and for the Beatles, Hey JUDE is their favorite song haha...(both great, but come on!)
Hard to argue with that...
Amazing song.. the tempo is perfect
Agreed. This one is an absolute gem.
Page's bitter sweet guitar solo perfectly matches Plant 's lyrics about a first love, ten years gone...
No pause. Let’s you know how this song was hitting. 2 best reactors reacting to the best band to ever do it. Making my Friday that much better. Well done gentleman. Thank You.
Indeed. I caught that too. 😉
Love these two. Great, informative reactions. Keep em rolling
It’s so much fun watching them react to Zep. I’m thoroughly enjoying this.🌸
Best band in rock history. Untouchable.
Best guitarist, best drummer, best vocalist, best multi instrumentalist. Best band ever.
It's funny how we rank guitarists! I really don't see Page having any real competition from Clapton VH or Jimi. They never created master pieces or had such drama and natural feel in their writing. Page evolved and took chances. He never gets fatiguing. The rest are stuck in a style that's gets rather repetitive and boring. Hats off to Mr. Page.
To be fair, Jimi "passed" away before he could give us his best album. He had other places to take us that we robbed of. Who knows what the 70's would've sounded like...
But the fact is that Hendrix did die and so we have to judge on what he produced not what could have been. In this case Jimmy Page stands out as the best and greatest guitarist of all time.
Jimi has created masterpieces. Little wing is an example
The comparison is flawed on a good day because all artists mentioned are all unique. That said, Page flirts with orchestral arrangements of guitar here, and it's brilliant.
Jimmy Page is a magician. I've never heard any other guitar player who can capture the mood and convey human emotion like he does . To me , he is one of the most brilliant musicians rock and roll has ever had. I can understand why he was accused of having supernatural assistance in creating music. 😆. uncanny
Agreed and you can also say wothout JPJ none of it works but the truth is, the 4 of them were the magic potpourri.
Take away just one element, just one musician, and they wouldn't be who they were. They were perfect together. Switch out Bonham for Moon? Nope. Switch out Jone's versatility and steadiness with Chris Squire or Jack Bruce? Nope. Replace Page with Clapton or Richard's? Nope. Replace Plant with whoever? Nope, just can't even imagine Zeppelin with another vocalist! This band was the perfect match. They just wouldn't have been Led Zeppelin had they tried to replace Bonham after he passed. The Who were decent after replacing Moon, but it wasn't the same, just wasn't.
Three of the most epic, well articulated, quote worthy comments about Zeppelin I have ever read. Bravo to all three amigos!
Very kind of you to say, thank you!
@@rodneyfrazer2424
I totally agree. Replace Plant is something no one ever thought of. (Rick Astley singing the Immigrant Song).
The diversity of this band’s music is unmatched.Blues,metal,acoustic,ballads,….you name it.I am so grateful for living through the greatest period of RnR .
Even a stab at country with "Hotdog"
I think the Beatles are just as diverse!
@@darrenmaxwell1085 and they even invented some genres and recording techniques along the way that great groups like LZ expanded upon very successfully.
I believe that in the musical diversity, you have forgotten PRINCE.
Even Ska! 🤣
There never was, nor ever will be another band like Led Zeppelin
Never
I agree, greta van fleet sucks ass lol
Absolutely agree
Great song
Agreed 💯
So glad this generation is appreciating the music I grew up with ... I literally wore out 2 copies of Physical Graffiti...
Well they do say repetition is an excellent form on mind control that will dumb you down and give you a short attention span especially if you listen to today's hip hop and rap.😂
@@LewDanLascivious8276 - Quote from "Stairway to Heaven": 'The Pied Piper is calling you to join him'..... that's Robert Plant telling you that HE'S the Pied Piper, and "If you listen very hard, the music will come to you at last".. All the elements of mind control ... Those albums are definitely buried into my subconscious mind, but, so far so good.
@@classic-kool
And that's exactly why I don't listen to them anymore because Jimmy Page belongs to the Golden Dawn secret society and worships that self-admitted Satanist pedophile and cannibal Aleister Crowley.
And what's the subliminal message in the song?
"She's buying a stairway to heaven"
You can't buy your way to heaven, you have to repent of your sins; do all the good deeds in the world that you want but if we don't repent of our sins that Jesus died for because he loves us were not going to heaven.⬇️
Matthew 7: 21-23
Only 2....? 👀
😁
same here... so good!
How can a song this old never get old? 🔥
Timeless
Plant explained this in an interview in 1975:
Let me tell you a little story behind the song "Ten Years Gone" on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, "Right. It's me or your fans." Not that I had fans, but I said, "I can't stop, I've got to keep going." She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sports car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you.
"Follow your bliss...." - Robert Campbell
good knowledge
Joseph Campbell
Wonder how many others think this is a masterpiece! So evocative...takes me back to mid/late 70s. This is one tune that I can't actually put my finger on what is so damn good about this...melody, guitar, lyrics and vocals overall composition together are exponentially better than the parts!
Huh?
It's definitely a masterpiece. I was blown away by this song the first time I heard it.
their best imo ...magical song
Easily in my top 5 Zeppelin tunes. This song is the underrated dark horse of their entire catalogue. Absolute magic.
Best ending to a song
This song is about a pre-fame girlfriend of Robert's who told him to choose between her and music. The song is very lush, it is beautifully nuanced. There are many guitar overdubs to give it a very rich sound, including a warm, melodic bass line. I love how they effortlessly flow between opposites of fast/slow, soft/hard, etc. yet always manage to seamlessly return to the beginning as Plant's voice moves you soothingly along a path of quiet introspection/reflection, whatever it is that is in your feelings. Tastefully played drums are just enough to elevate without completely breaking the spell. It is a sumptuous tapestry of song.
I’ve never heard or thought of a better description of this masterpiece. Well said!
@@davidking6554 Thank you! 😊
The world is happy young Mr. Plant made the choice he did.
Describe the beautifully couldn't have said it better myself haven't been able to live without Led Zeppelin since I what's 13 years old that was a 1970 great review of a review😊
@@Patirot101 thank you 😊
A tour de force, especially the guitar playing. In the studio, Jimmy's musical choices are always brilliant. Here the way he layers three, four, even five guitar parts is amazing. I think he is unparalleled in rock music in this regard.
Physical Graffiti is my favorite Zeppelin album. After Kashnir comes In the Light, and I'm thinking this album can't get better. Then comes Ten Years Gone...
I get it but absolutely even with Houses for me
This album is a masterpiece. Just banger after banger after banger
Physical Graffiti it's the greatest rock album ever made
I think this may be the only Zep song that you’ve been sucked into feeling like you have to play it all through with being able to stop it. That says something wonderful.
I just realized that it’s been 50 years since I saw Led Zeppelin at the Chicago Stadium. How can the memory be so sweet and fresh? What a time to be a Zep fan.
Zeppelin is bonfire, a loyal dog, and a good drink music.
Best song, best album, best band.
A very thoughtful song....intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and musically.......yet another example of their diversity, and specifically, this album, in that way!
Jimmy Page was evidently one of the first musicians to experiment with "ambient" recording--e.g., instead of just putting one mic in front of the drums and amps, he used multiple mics, like one in front of the drums and another 20 feet back, and he would record the balance between the two, in an effort to capture the sound of the room. It clearly paid off.
Thanks for yet another excellent reaction, gentlemen.
This is yet another major contribution Jimmy Page made to popular music that gets overlooked. His early session work was immeasurable experience in the world of recording and sound engineering that all came together during his Zeppelin days.
Stretching their wings on this album, and this album side. Jimmy Page wrote the music for this track in his home studio, the entire structure for it, and brought it into the studio in its near-final form. Utter Page brilliance.
This is how music ought to be 😂👍
This song always makes me feel sad and nostalgic for past loves
Range of genres and styles, production, instrumentation, arrangements, musicianship. improvisational and song writing skills .... Zep excelled and exceeded all other bands in all categories. The greatest rock band of all time, bar none.
One of their greatest songs!!
Maybe one of THE greatest songs.
@@sebastianblack6506 yea, it’s awesome
While my two favorite Zep tunes are "Dazed and Confused" and "Heartbreaker", this song means a bit more to me. I've said this on other reaction channels, but I listened to this song a lot while I battled cancer. The lyrics meant something a bit different to me, not love lost, but time I can never have back while I underwent radiation treatment, chemo, and a stem cell transplant. "Though the course may change, rivers always reach the sea." The disease changed the course of my life, but it went on and will eventually reach an end.
This one still really gets to me. If you've ever had your heart ripped out by somebody that you love, you know what I mean. Those guitar lines are so evocative that I get a bit teary-eyed every time I hear this song.
There are some Zepp songs that just never get old. This is one of them. It somehow recycles itself over time .
Hit's the heart strings
Greatest Rock album of all time, speaks for itself
I've been listening to "Physical Graffiti" for more than 40 years and it remains my favorite song on my favorite Led Zeppelin album. 😃
This is probably my favorite Zep tune. Been waiting for you guys to do this one.
Me too
Now you see why most people consider this their masterpiece
It just keeps getting better
"Though their course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea" is one of the most beautifully profound lines I've heard in any song
This is my favorite song...mellow, but then gets little more dynamic...guitar is great...vocals amazing...deep song.
Love this song. So freaking gorgeous and poignant. “We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul”. I think it’s up there with The Rain Song in their most beautiful moments. So glad you loved it too!
Killer song from a killer album from a monster and killer band. I grew up listening to them on FM radio and had some of their LP's including this one. Man, it changed my life. They were the best and at the height of their creative powers. Nobody could touch them musically and creatively back then. Heck, even now. They were so talented and gifted. I love them for all the wonderful memories in my teens when I was exploring music. They were the best in so many amazing ways. Truly magic...
This song is a masterpiece. The guitar and bass draw you in then boom! The melody and refrain just soar above you. The lyrics are beautiful. This is absolutely majestic!
Also the guitar uses the mixolydian flat 6th mode, which is now sometimes referred to as the Ten Years Gone scale.
This one flows in such a smooth satisfying way I don't blame you for not pausing.
Man we don’t get much reactions from these less popular songs. This has truly been a joy watching you guys go through the entire discography. Keep up the amazing work gents. We’re all here for it 🤙🏻
Guys I just love to see how much you’re both into these masters of their trade, the best band ever surely 🤷♂️
my favorite led zeppelin song....and I love this band...the way jimmy stacks the guitars on the final 2 chorus parts is stunning....the riff...vintage jimmy page
Love this song. Love Robert's voice. So simple but so intense.
One of my favorite LZ songs of all time- i got this album on tape at age 13 in 1979- was one of my first purchases of music with my allowance money along with The Police's Regatta De Blanc
Great song. Reminds me of a lost summer love.
You too, eh?
The mighty Zeppelin never disappoints. I believe Tupac sampled this in one of his songs too.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your take on this music! You have re-awakened my appreciation of the music of my teen years. Thank you both!
Ten Years gone and Rain song are perfect!!!
To make it a love trilogy, I would throw Thank You in there.
Thanks guys u re awesome 👍
This song is deep for me. Released in February 1975. I graduated in June of ‘75, and my dad died 3 weeks later. He turned me on to this album, and I’ll never forget it. Every time I hear this song, I think of him and shed a tear every time. I even performed the vocals of this song in 1985, in honor of dad on the 10 year anniversary of his death. 10 years gone…. I Fuckin miss him man 😞❤️
The 3 best things my Xwife gave me was 2 incredible big strong handsome strapping sons and Led Zeppelin. I'm sooooo happy 4 U brothers coming n2 the fold. Here in Chicago one of the radio stations has "Get the Led Out" Saturday. OUTSTANDING!!
The first half is about loss. It's sorrowful. Second half, he gets her back and the same notes are now triumphant. Great tune.
So many great tunes from them. Truly the best band ever!! They blow away the Beatles and stones.
Guys. I started listening to all this in my mid teens and was totally mesmerized and still am. Hands down my favorite band ever. You can hear why.
Heavy and light, hard and soft all in one song.
To me as a listener, and somebody who knows nothing about guitars or playing music, Jimmy Page has always been more able to elicit whatever emotion that "I" feel the song is conveying than other guitarists. Whether pain, joy, lust, love, dread, whatever the emotion, it just *feels* like it when he's playing it. Alex has it; Jimi has it; Stevie has it. None of them have it like Jimmy has it. IMHO, of course.
You mean Alex Lifeson? I'd say David Gilmore has it in spades
@@cogline That's who I mean. You can say anything you want. I'm not raining on Gilmour's parade, or any Gilmour fan's parade, by not mentioning him. I can only talk about who appeals to me. I love Pink Floyd's music and Gilmour is a great guitarist. But if I'm talking MY top 5 favorite players, he's not in the conversation.
La/Che, this song just sneaks up from behind and gives you a big beautiful bear hug. Not too tight, not too loose, but just enough to let you know that you can’t escape it. I love the chords from the guitar, light and dark at the same time. Another banger fo sho. ✌️🔥
Never has been a better guitar composer ever. The layers and sound are unmatched.
Best band ever, period!!
Finally, my favorite Zofo song!! ❤️🤘🏼
Just another masterpiece by the immortal Zep. Fun to watch you guys enjoying this ride - all four of them on point, and Jimmy's beautiful guitar woven together in such a lush tapestry of sound. One of their most emotional songs. Great one fellas.
So much to say about this reaction! First I want to thank you for your LZ reactions generally. I was maybe a little young to fully appreciate them in the day. I was 15 when I saw them live in Oakland on a fateful day in 1977. Then they were gone and never came back (read about it). So, this music was the soundtrack to our lives. We knew it was good, but we didn’t know why. Rediscovering with you has brought this music back to me with a much deeper appreciation and enjoyment. I watch for your LZ posts. The music and the perfection of these songs is made real through witnessing your experience. It’s a big deal. Thank you.
Thank you!!
The song was written about an old girlfriend of Robert Plant.
Long story short,she made him choose between his music and her. This song is one of reflection on life's choices.
How can 4 guys sit snd put together something so Beautiful!? Puzzles my mind, for real?
Greatest band who ever lived. They are in their own category. Four people meant to be together.
It's so awesome to watch you guys react to Led Zeppelin because with your recording backgrounds you truly appreciate the mastery and magic of what you're listening to. My all time Zepp album. Keep rocking out.
The power of music. That's it's able to bring us together in such an intimate way to experience these sounds and emotions. Rock on brothers. You're the best.
Such a powerful sound in this song, contrasted by the bluesy mellowness. As a Led Zeppelin fan of many, many years, Ten Years Gone reigned as my favorite Zep song for a good period of time. With such a great library, there have been many different favorites over the years...
Growing up in this era this is my favorite Zep song.
When I think back to all the great times we had, all the friends now gone, if there's one thing that comes the closest to catching it, pulling it all together, drawing the memories, the love, the hurt, the pain... @3:36 and on... "Will you ever remember me baby?" How could I ever forget... -Ten Years Gone.
Stupendous! Thanks for not pausing. It makes a huge difference in how a piece of music hits you in the feels!
Great reaction again guys.
This is my all time Zep tune. Just perfection, they are at their peak
Love this song. A highlight moment for me is how all four of them are precisely rhythmically in synch on the line “do you ever remember me, baby…” followed by a bit of an instrumental bounce- it’s so wonderfully heavy and light at the same time. Perhaps their apex moment, subjectively speaking.
So cool to see y'all's reaction and appreciation. This is Zeppelin firing on every cylinder they had. My very favorite album and song by them. This song always hits me hard, even almost 50 years gone.
Masterpiece 😮
Robert plants voice at it's best...this is how i hear his voice in my head.
You know, its unbelievable that they put together their first album, with Page the elder statesman at just 25, Jones at at 23, and only 21 for Bonham and Plant. My God, at 21 I was floating around in circles on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean with no clue what I wanted to do in life, let alone even giving it really much thought! And these guys, right from their first album, rock gods. Ages 21 to 25. Absolutely incredible.
Plant and Bonham were 19 when the band got together. By the time they were 20, Zep 1 was out! Just crazy.
@davidreilly8888 oops... I never was all that good at math, too much time spent listening to their music instead!😆
I don't want this album to ever end, but I can't wait for Black Country Woman! The first time I listened to this album, it's the song that made the first impression on me.
This was the times! You’d get with your friends or even alone. Smoke a j and let Led Zeppelin take you on a trip! Always a good ride! Chiguy!
Decades after hearing their music for the first time I can still spend hours in my shop with Zeppelin bringing that groove all day long. If I had to guess who you guys would pick as your favorite band or two, I'd go with Zeppelin or Steely Dan... There is just SO much more from that era to explore... Like everyone else I love watching someone who knows something about the music enjoying this fantastic offering...
It’s just a masterpiece of composition, layering, multitracking and arrangement. And it also hits with so much emotion. So many “better” guitarists could never create something like this song.
This is my favorite led Zep song. It’s an adventure
My brothers I am so anxious for you to proceed into Presence. ❤
Presence is a whole ‘nother level of Zeppelin.
Every song has outstanding guitar solos.
Every song.
Outstanding.
I considered it my favorite album of all time for over 40 years, so rest assured you’re fixing to experience some of the heaviest Zeppelin of all. ❤❤❤
This was fun!
This music, for me, will never get old.
Hi fellow musicologists, they can produce a mixture of a ballad & rock ...truly one of a kind..keep up the superb work!
When I was young I used to put on my headphones and listen to that nine guitar orchestra at the end of the song!
One of my favorites from them
This song captures the emotion of time passing and love lost. Jimmy Page at his very best. A masterpiece
This song involves so many emotional paths, it may be the best song on this album. It certainly makes me feel every note. One of my favorite songs to play still! Journey on my dudes ❤
It depends on my mood, but if I'm feeling a little melancholy this one hits just right, it never fails to leave me feeling cleaned out and uplifted. One of my all time favourites.
What about In My Time of Dying? Astounding.
Yes, it sure is!!
Another great reaction! Great to see young people appreciating this great music.
Are you guys aware of the book Led Zeppelin: All The Songs? It’s by Jean-Michel Guesdon and Phillipe Margotin. It’s a hardcover and goes in depth on all the songs they ever recorded. A great resource!
Yay!! I listen to this one on a loop, over and over. Actually I like playing this and letting it go into the next one, Night Flight, then play those 2 over. They go so well together for me. Glad you loved this one & looking forward to your reaction of Night Flight.
The complexity makes it difficult to analyze but easy to enjoy! The best at their craft and the enduring nature of this music is proof.
Some bands never get to experience 4 qualities that make a great band.
1. Copying
2. Emulating
3. Composing
4. Innovating
This album was by far there most innovating album. Best Rock n Roll band of all time!😎👍😊
I'm just so glad you dig all this music you've been playing for us, and that you share your reactions, it makes us re-live how much we like all these old songs, you're doing us all a service, much love
You know at some point the guys while recording looked around the room and all their eyes met for a second or three, and in that few moments they knew, they KNEW! they were at the absolute pinnacle of it and the music they were making was just absolutely incredible and timeless. What a feeling that must have been.
Bands like this were out to change world ... they were serious and deep and beautiful
So glad you guys love it too !
A magic spell cloaked inside a music melody
....to add to my comment, I've been listening to Led Zeppelin since 1972 and it's difficult to choose "favorites"....but a few songs that resonate to the top of the heap are:
"Ten Years Gone"
"When The Levee Breaks"
"Carouselambra"
"In My Time Of Dying"
"The Rain Song"
"Bring It On Home"
and this album's closer "Sick Again"
I'm 59 years old and I'll say it until my dying day: LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER 😃
I love Sick Again. I rarely find anyone else who does.
And In Through the Out Door is my second favorite album from them after Physical Grafitti. I loved how they sounded with it being synth heavy (I believe it was out of necessity due to Page's addiction). I always wonder what directions they would have gone in the next few years if Bonham had not passed.
Saturday June 4,1977. Attended “Super Bowl of Rock” at Soldier Field in Chicago. Emerson Lake and Palmer, Foghat, Climax Blues Band and J Geils Band. Next day driving south to Carolinas, Florida and MS Gulf Coast. We had Physical Graffiti on tape and played it on the drive. My memories of that trip driving at night and soaking up this music. Especially this particular song. Arrived back home and the very next day-Sunday June 19th 1977 attended Pink Floyd concert again at Soldier Field. That my friends was the seventies.
@@bradsense7431 Damn straight...!!!
