Agree, such a great sound and atmosphere to this track. Under appreciated by the general public, not what comes to mind with most people when they talk about the band, but to Zeppelin fans from the beginning it's the best, and no one could play a kit like Bonzo.
One of my favorite songs ever. John Bonham's drumming in particular but really the overall composition of this piece and the way they play it perfectly captures the plodding but relentless rising of the floodwaters and of being sick to death of what will happen if the levee breaks. And it also feels like it could be about relationship stuff on a metaphorical level or something. Led Zeppelin has several great albums to react to, and this one that this song is from, their fourth album, colloquially known as The Rune Album because of the runes on the album cover, is one of those albums where every song on it is just amazing. You've basically already got a start on it by doing When the Levee Breaks.
Zeppelin is definitely the one band that I can say you need to start from the first album and go all the way through all of their albums. You can do it! 🤙😎
When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe in 1929. The song was re-worked by Led Zeppelin as the last song on their untitled fourth album. Singer Robert Plant used many of the original lyrics and the songwriting is credited to Memphis Minnie and the individual members of Led Zeppelin. You should give the original a listen some day. Robert Plant is a master at musical arrangement.
I love the song. And for me I could actually name more than 33 Zep songs I love more. For example on Zep 4 which I bought when it was new I rank it 5th. Stairway, Misty, Black Dog, Rock and Roll and then Levee. And I can do this with most albums. I have heard every Zep song over 10,000 times each.
Millie That echoing of John Bonham's drumming was recorded in hallways of Headley Grange in UK. Headley Grange was used as recording studio for Led Zeppelin's 4 out of 9 albums. There were other artists used HG for their recordings such as Genesis.
Recorded at Headley Grange the Rolling Stones mobile recording unit, Bonzo had his drums set up at the base of the tall stairwell with mic;s hanging over banisters on each floor above to get that "deep hole" effect.
Yep, that sound works for me too, Millie. Not sure about "crispy" though - to me it's just "filthy dirty"! I think the reason they could do 10 minute tracks back in the day, is because they really knew how to build a solid groove to get lost in. Best wishes.
8:36 When humans first started making music, we started playing songs when we needed to, and played them 'til they were done. The muses were in charge. Then we started changing the songs to please an audience. The more people liked your song, the more famous you could be. Then radio happened. Since selling ad time became _extremely_ lucrative, radio stations started looking for a certain kind of song. Their goal was to broadcast twenty-five minutes of advertisements an hour in short enough blocks to keep listeners from tuning out, and the criteria became two hundred and ten seconds of light, bouncy noise to keep listeners distracted, amused, and hooked between ads. That's how three and a half minute songs became the meme. And if you wanted to be a pop star, you made radio-friendly songs. You want to be a rock star, you made at least one radio-friendly song and a bunch of others your fans could scare their parents with. Led Zeppelin made a _lot_ of parent-scaring music. Also, 210 seconds of 120 BPM is 420 beats. 69 memes! Capitalism! (This makes sense in one of the universes next door) Edit: Gen-X metalhead says: Beastie Boys _Rhymin' & Stealin'_ Thanks, Mike.
I always loved that this closes the album. Rather than being soft or a ballad, this one is all about heaviness and dark menace. It's a perfect finale for this legendary album.
If theres one thing about millie she really does appreciate great music from some of the greatest bands from the late 60s and 70s onwards who really know how to play pure rock music and especially led Zeppelin she really does show real enthusiasm when listening to there great music she really does have a great understanding of what real music should sound like and i always look forward to seeing her whenever shes listening to music because she is a great presenter with a great personality shes totally awesome
You might be wondering why he sings "Goin' to Chicago.." at he end..Chicago had a great blues recording company called, "Chess & Checker Records". I was there back in 1970 with my friends who recorded a 7 inch demo in Studio B. Dave Purple (Grape) of Chicago group "The Cryan' Shames" was at the controls. I played marracas. Many blues artists recorded there over the years then. It was the Blues Capital studio of the North. Peace and please Do review whole Zeppelin albums. I'm an old classic rocker that saw Zeppelin in concert in 1975 at Long Beach ,Calif. Tickets : $10.50 for a 3 1/2 hour gig. Peace.
👍❤🇬🇧BEST BAND EVER !!!!!!🎸......THE ONLY GROUP THAT HAD ALL 4 SUPERSTAR VIRTUOSO'S IN ONE GLORIOUS UNIT & ON THE 8TH DAY ❤ GOD ❤ CREATED " LED ZEPPELIN " 😁
It's a joy watching you discover the LZ groove and be reminded of how it felt on hearing this stuff at the time it was released. We were so fortunate to be gifted with such a wealth of musical creativity, during what in retrospect was a golden age of analog recording....the Zep guys were phenomenal with a pretty much flawless legacy as a testament to their abundance of talent.
A quick linguistic observation: I'm enjoying your mixed Spanish/British accented English. The mixture is fascinating. It's clear that you learned English while listening mostly to British speakers. I dig it.
Going through their albums is a good idea. Each one has a different feel. There's lots of people's fave songs that never get heard coz they're album tracks. There's also The BBC Sessions and How the West Was Won, which is all live performances that rarely get heard or mentioned because everyone goes for the well known stuff like Stairway etc. Even Achilles Last Stand, one of their best songs ever, is hardly even known by a lot of Zep fans. DO IT! Haha.
LED ZEPPELIN were THE FOUNDERS of a very NEW 'Musix Genre', what was never heard before on our sweet little blue planet before; since then, literally called 'Hard Rock' - laterally may be known as 'Heavy Metal' - It's a GIFT!
They were just meant to be, each member just gelled, its like they knew each others minds 🤘❤️. Oh no sense in going to chicago anymore. Its hell on earth
Hi Millie - Thanks for representing! I think an aspect of the differences you are experiencing from the bands in the '60's and '70's compared to now is how artists evolve. Back then, because it required live performances, and electronics were not what they are, you had to have the right mix of members and you had to endure together. You wrote and performed what you wanted to play and the compositions were not geared towards radio play, because it compromised music integrity. You made albums, not songs that were "radio friendly." Today, there is a tendency to get what is essentially a hook and a thought out and just build 3 minutes around it. Also, live is often an afterthought today. There are great artists out there today, but you can't expect to hear them without effort on your part.
Ever since rock and roll was born , record executives wanted 3 minute songs to sell for a quick dollar. Led Zeppelin changed that , many bands chose artistic differences with their record producers & CEOs in the 70's
I'll never forget in 2006 here in New Orleans for jazz fest Robert Plant came down an the first song was When the levees break which was 7 or 8 months after Katrina an we loved it.. But the people from out of town didn't catch on
t’s a terrible storm, the moanful sound of the wind(harp & guitar) The unrelenting pounding of the surf(drums) with cymbal crashing waves And the winding down of the storm like a top losing speed Watch them play this live in 1971 at 19 years old. Album only out for few months Magical night 🎊😎🎸 Song is over 50 years old. Match it with today
Memphis Minnie wrote the song in the 20's. She was born in Algiers, across the River from Nawlins. Every song they "homaged" became their own.. Used to ride down River Road next to the levee listening to this. Listened to it again a lot after Katrina.
One of their best but take a look at the "Playing For Change" version. Which also has John Paul from Led Zep in. Actually think "Kashmir" is their best track especially the celebration concert version.
If you do start doing full album reactions, this one right here Zeppelin IV is a great one to start with. Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon is iconic, Who's Next by the Who, there is your first 3
I always thought this song was one of Zep's best, but I was a drummer in the early 70's when I first heard this song!!! The beat is typical Bonham, very difficult to master! Saw them in 1978!
What you youngsters don't understand...this album...came out in 1971. It followed III...which although was musically great album...it was not truly accepted by the Zep fans. It wasn't as hard hitting as the first or second album. So...there was anticipation. What is the true Zeppelin? When the album dropped...the first song of Side A...Black Dog...sent the message. The last song on Side A...Stairway...confirmed the message...and this...probably the best song on the Album...was the last song of Side B. See...we sat around...and we played albums while we hung out. Together. By the time this somg came...no one was speaking. We all became a part of the experience. Entranced.
Time passes quickly subjectively when we are in a state of enjoyment, and it drrrrags when we're in pain. It's a strange thing and it brings up a lot of questions about what time really is. If it was an absolute then it would pass the same whether in pain or pleasure, but that's not really what happens. We live in a subjective world that we help to create. Or something.
Millie , you are so cool. So is Bonham's Drumming. I'll sit with ya through a whole album. Lets go for Physical Graffiti. It would be great if you react to their song Carouselembrah from In Through The Outdoor.
They should have played this at MSG for the " Song remains the same" movie. That would have been awesome! I saw Page play " In my time of dying" twice in 1988 in concert. He nailed it! Bonham drank himself to death. What a shame...
Volume 4, considered the most complete album ever produced. The variety of Elements, The Unique Sonality. Volume 4, is in the Top 5 of the greatest albums.
Oh, baby, wish you had been there in 71 and 72 to experience the new moments in music history. From 1960 at six till 1969 at 15, the change was mind blowing.
The reason a lot of pop & rock songs from the early days were short was to get it played on Radio you were only allowed 3 mins but groups like ledzep, floyd,& Yes,& the Beatles pushed the boundries & because of their popularity & Pirate Radios who were willing to play full versions & Album tracks the establishment radio Stations were forced to change!! One battle won by the common people!!
Fun fact this song was recorded in a main entrance to a mansion they bought. It had a sprial staircase and john Bonham was at the bottom robert was in the middle and page and jones up top and bonham had 4 sticks in each hand pounding this out
Orig tune 1929. Harmonica is plant. Drums legendary Bonham. Zep ended the 60's and helped create the long song jam thru mid 70's ad continued into 80's. Kasmir legendary later Zep. Live LP w/ Stairway and No Quarter for ref. Search for 1973 live Madison sq garden. Since been loving you. Classic long form live. U may have already covered :)
Millie! Great reaction, and great idea!, entire-album reactions! If it’s possible, that would be AWESOME! To me, "Led Zeppelin II", perfection. Another album I’m sure you will enjoy, Queen’s 1980 masterpiece "The game", that entire album is so good!
Just want to give a little love to the original of this song. Done by a female blues artist known as 'Memphis' Minnie. Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie wrote this song for the 1927 Mississippi floods that destroyed nearly almost half of the Mississippi Basin. Yes that date is correct, 1927.
Ten Years gone...be the 1st reactor to do this song. Robert wrote it about is 10 year relationship with his girl at the time and he had to pick between her and Zeppelin...true story....awesome
LZ gives us another brilliant performance of what was originally a Delta Blues composition......Jimmy Page has always had a deep respect and appreciation of the Blues masters who preceded the 'British Invasion'.......this has that spooky 'swamp' blues feeling, doesn't it?
IMO the absolute most iconic drum work in history.....Bonham was incredible
Totally agree 💜
nope that would be the ph tune
@@taylorham9532oh please 😂😂😂
This groove is filthy, and it's patient. It's an unstoppable force, just like the flood their singing about.
All Led zeppelin albums are good. My suggestion is that you listen to them all in chronological order. So you can see the evolution of the band
In my opinion, best drum sound of any song ever
Every Zep song is great. You should do the albums. You should hear everything. Do it chronologically. You’ll love it!
Yes, but song by song (separately) in order to give each song the attention it deserves . . . .
That would be time well spent
My favorite Led Zeppelin song.
mine too *flails arms wildly*
Ditto

Another song that they did, that is similar to this one, is called Travelling Riverside Blues. Excellent song
Definitely one of the best ... always enjoyed it. Thanks Millie.
Thanks and you're welcome
Plant on harmonica. Have you ever heard a harmonica as a hard rock instrument? It’s a cover of a 1929 song. And they do a damned good job.
the best sound the drum of history... genius Bonzo
One of my favourite songs. Epic rendition of this old blues tune.
Led Zeppelin made to trip in the 70's. Buy albums, go to our concerts.

Milie, I agree, this is raw, pure rock. And blues, but blues is part of rock.
Those drums are just…. So languid with hidden power
They should have played this at MSG for the " Song remains the same" movie. That would have been awesome! I saw Page play " In my time of dying" twice in 1988 in concert. He nailed it! Bonham drank himself to death. What a shame...
A levee is a dam. Best drummer ever, great baseline and the lead singer outdoes himself on the harmonica.
The going to Chicago reference is because many people moved to Chicago after the flood of the Mississippi River in 1927.
Volume 4, considered the most complete album ever produced. The variety of Elements, The Unique Sonality.
Volume 4, is in the Top 5 of the greatest albums.
I saw Robert Plant with Alison Krauss in Taos in June. They did a rockabilly version of this song.
Oh, baby, wish you had been there in 71 and 72 to experience the new moments in music history. From 1960 at six till 1969 at 15, the change was mind blowing.
I saw Led Zep Jam in '77 in Houston, Tx at the Summit it smogged out the band so groovy
The reason a lot of pop & rock songs from the early days were short was to get it played on Radio you were only allowed 3 mins but groups like ledzep, floyd,& Yes,& the Beatles pushed the boundries & because of their popularity & Pirate Radios who were willing to play full versions & Album tracks the establishment radio Stations were forced to change!! One battle won by the common people!!
Fun fact this song was recorded in a main entrance to a mansion they bought. It had a sprial staircase and john Bonham was at the bottom robert was in the middle and page and jones up top and bonham had 4 sticks in each hand pounding this out

John Bonham pounding this song into your soul.
You understand rock n roll. Great reaction video.
Drunk, in a camp near a lake, the sun rising and this song playing...yes, i lived that !
Millie! Great reaction, and great idea!, entire-album reactions! If it’s possible, that would be AWESOME! To me, "Led Zeppelin II", perfection. Another album I’m sure you will enjoy, Queen’s 1980 masterpiece "The game", that entire album is so good!
My favorite band since 1969❤
The best part is when you take a drink out of a unicorn decorated glass when enjoying Zeppelin. Hilarious.
1927 Mississippi Flood the levees gave way because of the rain. Levee/river bank gave way. Reworking of 1929 soul song that talked about the floods.
Drums recorded in the stairwell of Headley Grange such a full and tall sound.
One of my favorites ❤❤❤
to this day, the greatest songs are by Led Zeppelin, such as Kaximir. With more than 10 minutes.
GOATS…PERIOD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, everything in the background is John Paul Jones. He never got much credit but he made it. He made it really good.
Do the albums please Milly. In Sequence just phenomenal!
Just want to give a little love to the original of this song. Done by a female blues artist known as 'Memphis' Minnie. Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie wrote this song for the 1927 Mississippi floods that destroyed nearly almost half of the Mississippi Basin. Yes that date is correct, 1927.
Ten Years gone...be the 1st reactor to do this song. Robert wrote it about is 10 year relationship with his girl at the time and he had to pick between her and Zeppelin...true story....awesome
Page was a master at tuning his guitar, and studio work! Bonham was the stage director!
An epic song from the best band ever all four members legends love your reaction Millie
That drum beat is the most used beat in other songs. Without it Rap would not exsist.
LZ gives us another brilliant performance of what was originally a Delta Blues composition......Jimmy Page has always had a deep respect and appreciation of the Blues masters who preceded the 'British Invasion'.......this has that spooky 'swamp' blues feeling, doesn't it?
The only Led Zeppelin song that mentions my hometown.
Zeppelin doesn’t sound dated, this could be a new radio hit even today. Another thing that separates them from most others.
The drums were recorded on Alistair Crowley's staircase. Of course, ol' Alistair was dead then but I think one of Zep rented it or bought it.
“Purest form of rock” i love you said that
Agreed - very crunchy.
Listen to the remastered version the drumming is amazing
