"Plant started off with the 'Oh, baby.' You 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 it's comin." - Che 😹❥
That swing by Bonham is one of the deepest grooves in popular music. It’s fun to remember that’s the same cat who does dazed and confused.
Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's
playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle.
Bernard played on hundreds of albums.
Bonzo's known signature piece was always Levee (sampled to death), and to some degree Time of Dying and Achilles, but this one's gotta be right there with the others as one of his crowning achievements. Just a sick groove
@@jgsrhythm100 So Bernard Purdie....never noticed before.......Bonzo loved to take from Clyde Subblefeild shuffle beat from James Brown's band....but that is the Purdie shuffle for sure
Dazed and Confused ranks up there in my top 5 faves by them. So glad we are turning these younger people doing REACTION VIDEOS onto such GREATNESS🎵🎵🎵
@@elisaabolafia9542 Nice to see young ones dig Zep this much........to trace music history....keeps music alive
I knew you guys would love this. And what Bonzo did there was take the already difficult Purdy Shuffle and modified it for his use in this song, and in so doing made it even more difficult. It's just so fun, especially his choice of fills within that framework.
Well put Steve❗
With a samba breakdown in the middle. No sweat.
Bonzo was depressed during this time and didn't like his drumming very much. I wish he would have lived to know how much everyone loves these drums and are still talking about it 44 years later.😢
He is missed
Like the man said, the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long.
The Bonham shuffle in this song is iconic in the drummer community.
This is why Bonzo is a genius. Most drummers would play a second snare hit - like a double - on every beat. But he restrains himself to every fourth hit. Moves the song. Page was into heroin, Bonzo was into drink so it was left up to Plant and JPJ to create this album. Wait until "Southbound Suarez"!
Did it three days ago.

A lot of people hate on this album. I think it's underappreciated. Thanks, guys.
It's in my top 5. For me, it's Zep IV, PG, HOTH, Zep II, and then this one.
It gets WAY too much hate. I always ask the haters "what exactly did you want Led Zeppelin to sound like at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s with all that was going on with music? Led Zep 2?!
@@gino88 Completely agree.
I might quibble with the word "hate," tho I'm sure there are some who actively feel malevolence towards it, heh. MY theory, and speaking only for myself here, but i may be onto something, is: I and many of my friends in '79, roughly 16-19 at the time, felt let down that there was no "Black Dog" (tho there was a "Hot Dog," ba-dum-dum) or "Immigrant Song" or, for the aficionados among us, a "Nobody's Fault But Mine." What was with all these synthesizers and whistles and shit? Wasn't that sort of New Wave-y or, worse, within shouting distance of the dreaded "DISCO" sound/vibe? At the time my "clique" was "jock-turning-into-freak"/athlete-to-stoner. And the soft, sing-songy "All My Love"? (Shamefully, we may have even realized, unmoved, that it was about Robert mourning the loss of his boy.) WTF, Zep? Is my vague memory of our then-idiotic , macho-tainted first take on the album. So we cranked "In The Evening," fiddled (so to speak) with "Hot Dog," MAYBE explored "Carouselambra" to the point of SOME appreciation, and pretty much left the rest alone, including THIS little masterpiece. Fools in the Rain, indeed. I just wonder if others had the same reaction/impression, and that then somehow carried thru the decades into this being cited as their "worst" album? I don't think they had a "bad" album, not even close. Only "maybe slightly better than the others" ones.
@@joescott8877 interesting to read your perspective and what age you were at the time. I am sure you aren’t alone in that experience. I was 8 years old and absorbed all their previous albums all at once from albums I had, what the older gives got me into and what the radio was playing. It was all new to me even though some of it was already 10 years old. Definitely felt what you felt about the album at the time (as much as an 8 year old could). My thoughts about “what did you want them to sound like in 1979?” Was a thought I only had recently. They could have been retro old sounding Zep, could have been post punk or post disco or new wave. Where they did end up landing sound wise on that album might have been the best option.
Thi album shows their versatility and what COULD have been in the 80s if Bonzo hadn't passed- only reached #21 on the charts BUT after Bonzo died the NYC area Album Oriented Rock stations put Fool in the Rain on regular rotation for decades after
Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's

Such a loss! But let's face it FM rock radio all these decades later is built on heavy rotation of Zep. At least here in Philly.
The drums track was "liberated" years ago. It really shows how well he played (you can also hear his grunts while playing).
I never noticed that...hearing the grunts!! Like his yells on Whole Lotta Love!
This may well be my favorite video of you guys reacting to Zeppelin. Not ONLY because you so clearly loved it, but because your enthusiasm helped ME to RE-appreciate just how fucking good this bad boy is! I heap shame on my high school self in '79 for buying into the notion that this was somehow "inferior" Led cos it wasn't "Black Dog" or "Heartbreaker" or whatever! LOL, man, F that, as I've come to realize, since High School: this is ZEPPELIN, the band that makes ANYTHING they try superb!
Yes yes yes. These 2 guys are my new favorite REACTORS 🎵🎵🎵 I'm loving watching them get all excited over the Greatness of LZ.
Get the Led out son!
Well said Zeppelin brother. 👍
It's so great to see the younger generations appreciating Led Zeppelin like we 60's and 70yr olds grew up with and thier are many more bands from that era that could blow you away and NO the Who did not suck and John Entwistle was no where near as talented as John Paul Jones, but he was still in that great bassist league. 👍
I love y'all guys Zeppelin musical influence came from the blues
I love that last lyric, "I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block!" Cracks me up every time. Jimmy Page used regular distortion and a fuzz/octave peddle for the solo. John Bonham is just on another level and JPJ is always incredible. Plant always sounds great!
Jimmy apparently had fallen in love with his "Suboctivator" pedal. I think it appears on Coda as well.
This Bonzo interpretation of the ‘Purdie Shuffle’ is *LEGENDARY.* There’s an isolation of this drum track out there and you can reeeeally hear the intricacy of his ghost notes and just how solid it is. It’s also pertinent to acknowledge Bernard “Pretty” Purdie who was the originator of the Purdie Shuffle :)
You guys are a blessing! Zep still has fuel in the tank on this late album.
Probably damaged many steering wheels with that snare roll coming out of the fast drumming in the middle section. Definitely a Road Trip Song. That Shuffle Groove is so good.
My fav Zeppelin album!! It’s has everything that is great about Zeppelin….has a blues song….has a hit song….has a love song…..has a cheeky song….has a hard rock song…..has a progressive rock song. It’s all incredible and the production is amazing and the art work is super cool.
Go Jays! ✌️❤️🇨🇦❤️✌️
This song, "In The Evening," and "South Bound Suarez" in particular just break my heart making me thing what the Zeppelin of the 80s might have sounded like.
"I hear something and JP is the culprit" Truer words have never been spoken.
😂👍
Oh man, this is my favorite Bonzo beat ever - he's just insane on the drums from the get go. Making my morning again, gents - much love from Canada!
Best use of a whistle in Rock
So pleased you guys really enjoyed my SECOND favourite track from this album.
You ain't heard "I'm Gonna Crawl" yet!
Totally agree talk about an underrated song “im gonna crawl” so underrated. Zep goes out where they started for last song on last studio album.
I'm gonna crawl is such a great song, agree 100%, it doesn't get the love it deserves
Love that song
A perfect song to end the album
Another fantastic song...I'm Gonna Crawl!
I read somewhere that they had attended the World Cup in Argentina to watch England play. They were in the stadium during a Brazil game and heard the fans plaing Samba in the stands. That's how they got the inspiration for the Samba beat in the song.
This is the one I've been waiting for y'all to listen to, out of the whole Zeppelin catalogue.
This was definitely one of the biggest hits off the album, but the one that got the most playtime was "All of My Love" the tribute song Robert wrote about the death of his son and how it affected the life of his parents afterward. JPJ really stepped-up writing and arranging this album, but the band showed how good they could still be in spite of the many directions they were being pulled during the time. I can only imagine how wonderful it might have been, even if they just wrote and produced music going forward and never, or just sparingly toured! The Stones, The Who, Floyd, even Sabbath, had decades to change and adapt and build a resume. These guys sadly ended up having to cram it all in
Minor correction, and it's an error I used to make all the time, the song's title is "All My Love".
Thanks, you're correct!@@sebastianblack6506
One of my favorite Zeppelin albums, despite how badly the critics and a lot of fans shit all over it after it was released. I was so excited about this newer direction and was hyped to see what they would come up with on the next album....and Bonzo dies and that was the end of Zeppelin. Imagine what could have been. *sigh*
This is a "drop the mic" moment for the band. If there was any doubt as to the GOAT rock'n'roll band talent, this should have been the convincing moment.
This is one of the greatest recordings in music history. Drummers Valhalla
This has got to be one of my favorite Zep tunes! What a rhythm….Bonzo at his best, joined by Mr Plant, Page and Jones adding their special touches. Glad you brothers liked it! Your reaction was priceless! Thank you for this midweek pick-me-up!
These 2 guys are my new Favorite REACTORS. They are spot on, and are listening to every molecule. Great fun 🎵🎵🎵 all around for us and them.
Two songs from this album get real heavy airplay: Fool in the Rain and All My Love (a song about the death of Roberts son).
That was 100% the exact way to react to hearing that song on headphones for the first time.
That's a mean shuffle coming out of Bonzo's drums!
Everyone talks about Bonzo on this track, and rightfully so, but I also love Page’s solo.
Their most underrated album. It’s so different, I think it scares some zeppelin fans.
Yeah, after Physical Graffiti, this is probably my favorite album. They’re all pretty close, but this would get played before II or Houses of the Holy.
This was my gateway album to Zep when I was 16. I adore this album and after PG it's my favourite LZ album
Hot Dog scared and scarred me. I just can't listen to it.
@@Verlopilyou’re not alone.
@@Verlopil Ha. It’s so tongue and cheek. I love it. You need to listen to it with an ear of humor. It’s a rock band doing a country song about a country boy losing his girl to a rock band.
It's my bithday today. Watching you guys react and appreciate the band I have loved for 53 years was a fabulous gift !!!!!!!
Thanks for being "true reactors", I remember hearing and feeling things while listening to zep albums that I had never heard of from any other band or musician.(and every band was on their "A" game in that era) It's a different feeling from every song. No quarter, and the rain song really take you somewhere else, those are in my top 10 live songs. FITRain just makes you happy , want to dance , and laugh that Robert was on the wrong block the whole time. I truly can't think of another band that covered so many different genres. If someone says they don't like zeppelin, it just means they haven't heard their albums !!! There is at least one song they are going to love. imo.
Once again,, thanks guys for all the time you've spent covering lz, and please keep going because there is so much more !!!
This song is definitely different for the band. Bonzo's "Purdie shuffle" is outstanding and his timbale work is top tier. Jonesy plays marimba with hard and soft mallets while Jimmy provides occasional twelve-string flourishes and a guitar solo using an MXR Blue Box octave fuzz effect to give his guitar a unique, buzzy/fuzzy tone. The Samba tone was inspired by Jones and Plant watching the televised 1978 World Cup soccer matches that were being hosted by Argentina during the month of June, just as the band was starting to write songs for this album. I also love the lyrics about a guy going to meet his girl until he realizes he's waiting on the wrong block. It's a song that underscores, yet again, that Zep could and would be different as they pleased.
Well hot dog! That samba mid section is just some next level stuff. It’s amazing all the musical styles that Zeppelin touches on. When you’re finished with this album you should definitely do Coda too.
I believe the drummer from Toto was so taken by Bonzo's drumming on this song that he played something similar on "Rosanna".
One of my favorite reactions by you guys. The whole song is great, but I've been in love with the drum track on this song for many decades! Bonham was all over it.
When they come out of that samba breakdown and then Bonham comes in with that monstrous drum fill followed by Pages thick guitar solo...it's amazing.
That's Calypso not Samba. Samba is Brazil, Calypso is Trinidad.
@@alphajava761ok, it had some sort of Latin beat, I know Plant and Page traveled to Brazil and were inspired by the Carnival music, Im not much of a dancer so I can’t Samba or anything else
@@dickcnormis1444 Caribbean and Latin beats can sound very similar 👍 and are often mixed especially in the Southeastern U.S. and New Orleans.
I think we ALL do the exact same head bob when we listen to this song!
Waiting on the wrong corner in the rain.
That is "the fool in the rain"... now with our phones, just will never happen
Bonzo's playing a half-time shuffle - he playing two different time signatures within the beat. He opens it up on the choruses and plays the ride cymbal with the beat. Bonzo also had a whistle on a string around his neck and plays it throughout mid-section.
Bonzo overdubs timbales, igogo bells, a vibraphone, Caribbean steel drums - all over the top of his steady beat on the base track of alternating bass drum and hi-hat kicks, while wailing on his snare drum.
Jimmy plays a great heavy riff for the verses and then rips into his beautiful, flawless finger-picking 12 string acoustic guitar for the choruses when the song opens up. That guitar solo is insanely awesome and it's sound is very unique.
Jonesy is playing some fantastic piano on this number and then guides the song into the Brazilian samba band mid-section.
Robert's vocals are clear and his voice sounds great.
Robert Plant and John Paul Jones attended a soccer match or championship game in Brazil in 1978 and got the idea to incorporate a Brazilian samba band sound into one of their songs and this was it. This song is really not categorizable musically - they were inventing whole new forms and styles of music on this album.
PS: Dave Matthews opened up several shows on his last tour with this Led Zepplin song.
thx
Yes thanks for the insight :)
Helluva great breakdown of this helluva great song, man!
That's Calypso not Samba. Calypso is Trinidad not Brazil.
WOW ❗ What a great narrative you just gave us on this song, this band. Good job.🎵❗
When that “Purdie” shuffle comes on, it’s impossible not to move 🤙
So happy to see this song up and your smiles and heads bobbing from the start- this song is sheer liquid joy for me, my favorite Zep song- I like all of their songs but this song just soars. The drums, surprise change up, vocals, guitar solo are just peak Zeppelin, the best. So glad you guys liked it too, been waiting for you to get to Fool in the Rain.
"JPJ is a magician" You guys are awesome to watch! Keep it up!
Just another example of why they are the GOATS! They were rolling into the 80’s just fine musically. Personally there were some things to work out. Carouselamba is coming. JPJ is the secret sauce on this album. He was delivering all the goods.
John Henry Bohnam showed again why he is held in such high regard. The man was percussive perfection in human form.
This is a Samba beat that inspired them when they watched world cup matches in 1978 (Argentina) ... just another genre for them to explore!!! I did warn you after "In the Evening" that this one was gonna slay you ... Makes my top 10 all time LZ play list!
The middle part of it was Samba but most of the rhythm of the song was Reggae based in my honest opinion.....
For some reason many Zep fans never really liked this album...I love it!
One of the best John Bonham grooves🔥🤝🏾
After more than a decade recording they still had something in the tank.
And that something was fucking incredible
We had a rockband in Sweden and had a pruducer called Leif Mases on our third record , he got the job as producer on In thru The Outdoor With Led Zeppelin which was recorded in ABBAs Polar Studio here in Stockholm .
One of those perfectly mixed, engineered and produced songs.
Just heard it on the radio a couple days ago. Still gets some airplay & it's one of those you don't get out of the car till it's over.💙
It's basically the Purdie shuffle
Well, yeah, but it that’s like watching Stevie Ray Vaughan play “Voodoo Chile” and saying it’s a Hendrix tune. Jimi wrote it, but SRV perfected it. Still, give credit where it’s due and you aren’t wrong.
It's Led Zeppelin
Yes and no. A lot of Bonham is Purdie but with bass trips or dubs where Purdie is cleaner. Or so I’m told.
@@cjonesufc But can anyone really play Little Wing like Jimi? If so, I never heard it.
Nothing basic about that shuffle
Plant's clean , pure voice .Great album .The best of the best , L/Zep.
Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's
playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle.
Bernard played on hundreds of albums.
Carouselambra is another amazing beast! Been looking forward to that reaction.
Absolutely my favorite Zep tune. John Bonham's shuffle beat on this is a revelation in rock drumming.
Bass player here, and it is always so damn nice to see JPJ getting some love, so thank y'all for that. The man was, and still is, an absolute monster player.
This should be called Pocket in the Frame!
Greatest rock band in the world. PERIOD
I didn't like this album at all at first. But it kinda grew on me after a few years and I changed my tune. It's different, but all their albums are different in certain ways. Their first is still my favorite. Probably because I'm a blues fan. But when you work your way through their music catalog from the beginning, this album fits in there perfectly with their musical progression.
Pretty cool how you two have done that with Zeppelin. 👍👍
Fool in the Rain used one of Zeppelin's favored arrangements. A riff you cannot ignore, an interlude and a return to the riff to see the song out. This song, like Dazed and Confused and In My Time of Dying, returned to the riff from the band playing at 100mph, making the transition all the more spectacular as the tempo slowed dramatically. The other recurring Zeppelin style is the song that continues to evolve, most famously Stairway to Heaven. Others are more subtle, with simply the addition of more instruments. The reason people keep coming back to listen to Zeppelin songs is anticipation. You are waiting to to hear that transition, that solo, that piano, that extra guitar, that tiny flaw in the recording. This is what you get when you have great musicians who understand production.
Seeing you guys love this song so much just put me in a great mood, thank you!! This is a great album. Hot Dog, the next song...either you love it or hate it, lol. But Carouselambra, All of My Love, I'm Gonna Crawl..also great! Can't wait!!
Been waiting for you gents to get to this one. Drum heaven!
I lived with my grandmother for a couple of years when I was going to college. She was born like 1907. She loved the hell out of Bonham's drumming when I would crank it on the house.
This may be an obvious thing to say but Led Zeppelin is the epitome of four dudes who are REALLY good at their jobs.
I love that you know JPJ. No question He was vital.
It's crazy to think this song doesn't get enough love. But it doesn't. Some of Bonham's best work. JPJ is a sneaky assassin. Jimmy drifts back to the "know your role" spot. Plant's vocals are so clean... his tone is crazy good. Fun to watch you guys pick up on the musicianship that makes this song amazing.
I knew it, you guys will be blown away by this one.🤩
The whole album is great. In The Evening needs a second listening to....I think Jimmy's Bow work and intro is epic. HOT DOG and Hats Off To Roy Harper are the only two Zepp songs I know that divide fans. Hot Dog is country cheeze but I love it.....
Another great reaction!!!!
The In the Evening intro was done with a Gizmotron not a bow.
Thanks for the info. Never knew that. My friend had one but I didn't know they were made that long ago.@@LanceStoddard
They were brand new and expiremental in 1979. Naturally, Jimmy Page knew about them.@@fletcherchristian2254
Yessss!!!!! Thanks for reacting to my request!!!! I love yall!!! This song is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
theres an awesome drum outtake of this track where can REALLY hear bonhams greatness! and he was drunk lol youd never tell!!
I've been singing this song to myself since I was 8. Love it so so much.
This one is always ranked in the Top 5 or 10 Bonham songs when ranked in difficulty or best drumming by Bonham.
This is one of my favorites. The drums are such a standout! ❤🎶
Make me feel so happy to see people enjoying music that I've been listening to for over 40 years. There'll never be another band like these guys. All the best :)
When I want "f*** yeah!" Led Zeppelin, I play albums I-IV, but when I want feel good Led Zeppelin, I play songs like this. This song in particular just makes you feel good, gets your body moving and puts you in a good mood. Zep's last two albums are criminally underrated, and this song is probably my favourite off this, their last album. Great stuff.
Criminally underated. That is such a massively true statement!
One of their best songs, possibly in my top 5, definitely top 10. The samba groove there was inspired by the music at the 1978 World Cup.
The drums and percussion in this are a master class by itself.....that groove is insane!
Yeah they were masters in everything they did (musically).....
Keep playing this one back, so nice to share and appreciate such solid musicianship with other people. Always keen to hear both your opinions, you are fast becoming Zep obsessives like the rest of us Zep heads 😂
Great reaction guys!! This is such a fun track. Bonham (RIP) has such a swinging groove! If you think JPJ is going bonkers here, just wait until you hear Carouselambra - where he's OFF THE CHAIN! Loving your progression through Zep's albums. Such an awesome journey to be having with you. Cheers!
Absolutely love your reaction to this gem. I’ve always thought this was such an underrated Zep song. It’s sooooo damn groovy.
There is nothing underrated about this song, or album.. It was a big hit for them, is still played everyday on classic rock radio, and is beloved by many. But I know what you mean, in a way. There is a small minority of Zep fans who are very vocal in bashing this. That makes it seem like it is underrated.
Led Zeppelin four Virtuosos, They are the greatest band of all time. Zeppelin FOREVER!!!🥁☮☘
One of my absolute favorite Led Zep tunes. So slept on.
One of my favorites of theirs simply due to Bonham's shuffle/swing. And JPJ is simply a damn genius, I'm glad you guys give him his props. He's vastly underrated it seems to me.
I have absolutely loved this song since I was knee high
This was one of the best albums of1979, coming at the end of a decade of incredible music that was rapidly changing by 1980. What a time to grow up! I saw JPJ open for King Crimson in 2000 and how I listened to Zeppelin changed forever as I paid closer attention to all the nuances lurking in Zeppelin recordings. And what a difference good headphones make!
As a then already long time Zep fan in '79 , this just seemed a natural progression of a band getting older & more mature . They could still rock your socks off but they were always venturing into other styles through their recording career .
I knew this would be a special reaction and that you guys would flip when you heard this! This is what is so unusual about this album, a honest to goodness genuine radio hit song, the first one they had attempted since D'yer Ma'ker from the fifth album. A hit song from a Led Zeppelin album? Most unusual. Keep the reactions coming guys, I love to see you guys listen to some Led.
Nice lil shuffle 👌
“I’m Gonna Crawl” is the best song on this album and the most underrated Zeppelin song.
I love listening to these "certified bangers" through new ears. I also deeply appreciate you calling out JPJ's contributions on all their cuts. He's often overlooked, but he adds so much depth to every song and deserves all the recognition. So glad you've joined the legions of Zeppelin fans!
One of my favorite led zeppelin songs
Great reaction Chi and La there is a reason why the Zeppelin machine is considered one of the greatest bands of all time. Bonzo what can you say about one of the Goats. Love your reaction gentlemen keep on doing what you’re doing love it…
Bonham !!!! I love all Zeppelin but there has always been a special place in my heart for this one!!!
Actually what Bonham is using rhythmically is a drum pattern called the Purdie shuffle. Which was created by Bernard Purdie. Checkout the interview with Rick Beato and Bernard Purdie. And then fool in the rain influenced Jeff Porcaro of Toto in the song Rosanna. Now both drummers very creatively put their own twist on that particular pattern. But it originated from Mr. Purdie. 🙂
Watching you guys listen to this song put a big smile on my face. I was 17 when it was released. Led Zeppelin versatility at its finest.
Love you guys! You get right into the song, rarely interrupt the music and have wonderful insight to share! Other reactors should take note! I doubt they would do as good a job though. Thanks for the good times!
JB playing the whistle during his solo…amazing.
SO MANY SMILES ON MY FACE IN THIS ONE!! Your FACIALS in this one: I DUG IT!!! Should-a seen OUR faces when this came out on the radio!! OMG!!! UNMATCHED!! They ALL tore this one UP!!! SO, SO, SO GOOOOOOD!!!! Such a GREAT GROOVE with a latin / island vibe....LOVE IT!!! HUGS, GUYS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Bonzo is playing a bulletproof "Purdey Shuffle". Drummers know what I'm talking about.
A Marimba is the instrument that JPJ is playing. That shuffle groove evolved from Bernard " Pretty" Purdie who used it on many songs including " Home At Last " w/Steely Dan, to Bonzo's elaboration to Jeff Porcaros version on Toto's " Rosanna ". The thing I love is Bonzos addition of the triplet on the ride cymbal bell and hi hat click on 2 & 4 on top of the snare / bass drum shuffle. If you can put all that together and get that monster in gear, you'll be drummin in ecstasy. All the best La & Che
Truly , this was an ideal marriage of Bonzo's technical excellence and deeply felt, groovy soul.
