One of the mind-blowing things to consider is that Robert Plant was just 20 years-old when recording this and he was writing and singing like a seasoned 60 year-old blues singer from the 30's and 40's.
I think you’d enjoy “You Shook Me” by Led Zeppelin. It was a Muddy Waters blues tune, but as Jimmy Page said “we took the blues, twisted it and turned it on its head”.
That is one of my most favorite studio songs, I wish there was a live with visuals of it, it shows all the different things they do. Three amazing solos keyboards harmonica guitar, & of course amazing vocals & drumming. Led Zeppelin are so soulful & passionate when playing the Blues, & I love it.
Jimmy had it right. Similarly, they asked Eric Clapton in 1967 what kind of music Cream plays and he said "Blues, ancient and modern". Cut from the same cloth.
@@sicotshit7068 I love them, but musically, Cream was, well the Cream--they had the BEST rhythm section with Jack Bruce on bass--a classically trained cellist who became a great jazz bassist and the mighty Ginger Baker, another jazz musician who could play anything and could compose, arrange, etc. Oh they also had Eric, BTW. No need to compete, they were different kinds of bands. Cream played long jazz-like extended improvisations on their songs in concert, Zep did a little of it, but really had their own thing with the mix of blues, English and Celtic folk, etc. Apples and Oranges except that they loved blues.
BTW, you might not know this but the band broke up when their great drummer, John Bonham, died suddenly in 1980; however, 27 years later in 2007 they played one reunion concert live together again (with the son of the great drummer playing drums, Jason Bonham). The venue was the O2 arena in London which held 20,000 people--when the concert was announced there were over 20 MILLION requests for the tickets--after 27 years of not playing together--that's how big Led Zeppelin was/is.
I was 17 sitting in my bedroom with my buds listening to this in awe in ‘68. This was their first album! Went to see LZ in ‘69 at the Winterland in SF. I recommend “ Ramble On” by them for some insane bass riffing by Jonesy.
Imagine being 20 or so, in school, getting this album, going back to your dorm room and putting g it on and listening with your roommate in 1969. This was 4th song on album. We just looked at one another, jaws open, our expressions going WTF??!!! Nothing heavier in rock at this point. This was it.
@@xmathmanx aware of….saw albums at the record store (the one with the banana on it) but never got into them. None of my friends played them at their homes either. The only adjective I ever heard about them was “weird”. So from what you said, I assume you consider them heavier than Zeppelin…
This is from their first album, which they recorded just about 5 weeks after forming as a band, and they were so young - ages ranged from 20-24! Four of the most gifted musicians were producing music like we had never heard it before. Best blues/rock band ever. I've enjoyed all your Led Zeppelin reactions, but would really enjoy it if you reacted to them more frequently. To understand the depth and breadth of their catalogue, best to start with album 1 track 1, and just keep on going. ;)
This is such a great song, not only does it have that delta blues tamber, but John Bonham absolutely shines on this! The call and response between Robert Plant and JP is amazing.
@@juliemanarin4127 Lol, you're right. I'll fix that! I actually typed that when I was outside on a tractor and should have spelled out the whole name. Then I'd have caught it. JP is correct I just added the extra "j"! Thanks for looking out!
The name “Led Zeppelin” came from a humorous conversation between musicians about the band’s chances of success - that the band would be going down like a lead balloon. For the younger crowd, a Zeppelin was a giant blimp - like the Goodyear blimp.
Two good friends of Jimmy Page, founder and guitarist named Keith Moon and John Entwistle of other British band, The Who made that statement to Page and then other member, Jeff Beck.
EVERY Zeppelin song is absolutely magnificent! Im not kidding! Try ANY one of them! In this Jimmy plays the guitar with a violin bow for that eerie sound!
The WHOLE ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE- while they were touring off this first album . They were recording the second album . The second album is great - every cut .
Dazed and Confused was written by Jake Holmes in 1967. Heard by the Yardbirds' drummer and brought to the attention of the group, Jimmy Page reworked the song which became a staple of the Yardbirds' tours. In '68, Page would again rework the song and record it with his new band, Led Zeppelin. In 2010, Holmes sued Led Zep to get credit and having further releases changed to "Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake Holmes".
"How Many More Times", "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", "Ramble On", "The Lemon Song", "Heart Breaker", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Celebration Day", "Black Dog", "When The Levee Breaks", "No Quarter" (Live from MSG), "Kashmir", "The Wanton Song", "Achilles Last Stand" ...
Just think how this 12 year-old white kid was thinking when he first heard this on his friend's "stereo" in late 1969! Well, it still hits hard for me. What I would sincerely like for you young men to take away from this is that this music, and all of the great rock/blues-rock/prog-rock was "our" music only in the sense that it came out when we were young and so have lots of sense memories associated with it (and love it), BUT, this music is for everyone--not just middle class white boys from the late 60s through the 70s. Jump in! The water is great.
As good as you guys like it now after hearing it for the first time, you'll never know what it was like when it was first released, along with the entire music scene then. We had it so f'ing good! Thanks for your reactions!
When we as teens heard these songs for the first time we knew we experiencing something magical..it was an exciting time. Saw them twice in concert..the best band ever..❤
Hey guys there’s only a couple of songs that you may not like, but there’s so so many outstanding ones. You really can’t go wrong with Led Zeppelin, it’s harder to pick the order of all the song you love. When it comes to live performances, there certain songs at certain concert I really love, not that any are bad. Every time they do a concert, the same song will never sound the same twice, because the add & change it up. What’s really amazing, these guys were only playing together about 2 months, when this debut album was recorded. Drummer John Bonham, was only playing drums about 5 years. The first two albums are mainly Blues Rock, with some Blues Rock songs on others. PLEASE react more often to Led Zeppelin, you won’t be disappointed.
Appreciate that you listen to the whole tune and then comment. Almost all of LZ tunes need to be listened to in their entirety to fully appreciate the experience.
Olli's take on an argument is crazy. I've listened to this 100 times and never thought of that. So cool to have a fresh take. There is Soooooo much call and response throughout. Including the part with guitar and vocal together while bass and drums going back and forth.
Great interpretation! Two of Led Zeppelin's finest creations are "Nobody's Fault but Mine" (Studio version) and "Since I've been Loving You." (Studio version)
I remember sitting on my bedroom floor listening to this album for the first time. Dazed was the last song on side one. When it was over I just stared at the runout groove with my mind totally blown. I had a really great older sister who was into hard rock and turned me onto all the great bands. I miss her every day. 🏄♂️
will be 70 in this year and I experienced this band from the go. this first album was their blusiest. all their stuff is hard and heavy. keep on rocking. I enjoy the channel.
What’s amazing about this song is that the lyrical part is essentially a delta blues song, then it’s a head music break, then it’s a distorted jazz guitar run, then it all comes together at the end somehow. I love these videos as someone who grew up in Zeppelin I live that these make me think about the music again.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. When I listen to led zepplin, my neighbors do too.
Brilliant.....
@keltonhutchison5951 Overused actually. Just the first time on this thread.
Amen! 🤙
As we used to say back in the day, if it’s too loud you’re too old! Now that I’m older(a-hem!) I have to crank up this song when I play it!
Preach!
Bonham’s drumming on this track is phenomenal.
Bonham is fabulous!
When the levee breaks is the most sampled beat ever. Classic story about the recording too.
John Bonham is the GOAT. His drum fills were insane in this song.
I was stunned as a child hearing Immigrant Song for the first time on the HIFI -
Don’t forget this was 1969-1972, just 4 top notch musicians on top of there game.
One of the mind-blowing things to consider is that Robert Plant was just 20 years-old when recording this and he was writing and singing like a seasoned 60 year-old blues singer from the 30's and 40's.
Morrison was on par.
Zeppelin...Since I've Been Loving You, a blues masterpiece...
That is THE Zepplin blues song. A real masterpiece!
True, but my FAVORITE song by them is "Achilles Last Stand."
@Silence_Duder_Gooder mine is a tie, The Rain Song, and the rest of The Song Remains the Same album and Since I've been loving you
@@michaelakkerman407, dude, there are no wrong answers when it comes to this band.
Have they don't that yet? It makes me MELT🔥
Imagine 4 kids all about 21 yrs old creating music like this today.
They do, you wouldn't know because you don't care enough to look
@@xmathmanxname a band that writes their music, plays all the instruments and produces the music. Ok…go!
@@michaellamb9596 almost every band I ever listened to do that, I don't know what's going on in your head here
@@michaellamb9596, RATM, although they are older.
SOAD... Prophets of Rage... Suicidal, Holmes! haha!
There are many good bands even today. But Zeppelin is in the great masterclass category man!
"I'm not just listening to the singer, I'm listening to the band." - Corey Roy... no truer words, were ever spoken.
If you are going to make music, go all the way. 😊
I loved this comment too. It is spot on.
You guys are ready for this one.. Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973)
Right? It'll change your life
It’s hard to decide whether to suggest the MSG live one or the album. They’re both utterly astonishing.
@@MConchis, yeah, I had to change my diaper after hearing that song.
Without a doubt!!!
And the live 1970 Royal Albert Hall is epic too
“Since I Been loving You” will shake your souls.😎❤️
Ohhhhh yes.
Live please
One more vote for the live version.

I prefer the Jeff Beck Group version. Incredible.
One of the mightiest of the mighty Led Zeppelin’s tunes.
Even in the ‘70’s, we knew we were listening to best band that would ever do it.
“In my time of dying” would be a great experience for you guys
live version
Yes!
In The Light also 👍
Tea For One
'When The Levee Breaks' is a mvp masterpiece
55 yrs old and it still rocks
😂 72…and still listen daily! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
65 and still great , seen them live in the 70’s .
Bonzo going nuts on this track. This song live from MSG in 1973 is as visually stimulating as the song itself 😂❤
28 minutes of something you'll never see again in your lives! Simply unbelievable!!

Went to see LZ in ‘69 at the Winterland in SF.
I recommend “
Ramble On” by them for some insane bass riffing by Jonesy.
so awesome that you guys liked it but at same time that you were clearly open minded enough to truly listen to it.
The live version is where this song really shines with Page’s use of a Cello bow on his guitar.
They are clearly playing the blues, only it’s also clearly rock music.
It’s basically blues on steroids
Imagine being 20 or so, in school, getting this album, going back to your dorm room and putting g it on and listening with your roommate in 1969. This was 4th song on album. We just looked at one another, jaws open, our expressions going WTF??!!! Nothing heavier in rock at this point. This was it.
I guess you weren't aware of the velvet underground

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 some of their stuff was heavy but they are generally regarded as forerunners of the punk movement

It hit hard back in the day....Im 65 got to see them live in 77...I was a kid at 17...they blew my mind and still do.
I'm 64...same here!!
Check out “Black Dog” by Led Zeppelin. I think you’ll love it.
Yes! Black Dog!!!!
Led Zeppelin; more than the t-shirt.
Zepp and Floyd the Big Two for a reason
''No Quarter'' should be your next take on Led Zep...
It's cool to see you guys finding and enjoying what I've loved for 50 years, Zeppelin are Rock Gods.
I grew up in this era, great memories sitting in my room listening to Zeppelin on my little record player. Lol!
Me too...a teen in the 70s!
Zeppelin's catalog is so diverse, it's unbelievable. If you guy's like Blues/Rock, hit up The Lemon Song.
Just check Jimis version of Killing Floor.
It is like a roller coaster ride in the dark with strobe lights! WOW!🤩🤩🤩
This is such a great song, not only does it have that delta blues tamber, but John Bonham absolutely shines on this!
The call and response between Robert Plant and JP is amazing.
Robert and Jimmy
@@juliemanarin4127 Lol, you're right. I'll fix that! I actually typed that when I was outside on a tractor and should have spelled out the whole name. Then I'd have caught it. JP is correct I just added the extra "j"!
Thanks for looking out!
Best band ever.
That sound is Jimmy Page using a violin bow across his guitar strings. They were one of the best groups back in the day .
THE best
The name “Led Zeppelin” came from a humorous conversation between musicians about the band’s chances of success - that the band would be going down like a lead balloon.

My vote is for "Fool in the Rain" Great reaction, gentlemen!
EVERY Zeppelin song is absolutely magnificent! Im not kidding! Try ANY one of them! In this Jimmy plays the guitar with a violin bow for that eerie sound!
For a different Island feel from Zeppelin check out the song - D'yer Maker!
You have to watch them play this live. Its incredible.
The WHOLE ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE- while they were touring off this first album . They were recording the second album . The second album is great - every cut .
Listen to “Achilles’ Last Stand”, live from Knebworth, 1979
One of my fav Led Zep tunes.
Dazed and Confused was written by Jake Holmes in 1967.

LZ 1 hit and the world was never the same

I always forget how good the drums are on this song
You should check out the live version from Madison Square Garden in 1973. 26 minutes. Jimmy Page showing us his virtuoso artistry!
Best singer 's voice ever
Nobody’s Fault But Mine!! Next!
Masterpiece
STUDIO FIRST ALWAYS ,,,,,,,,GREAT REACTION !!!!
Thank you 🙌
As good as you guys like it now after hearing it for the first time, you'll never know what it was like when it was first released, along with the entire music scene then. We had it so f'ing good! Thanks for your reactions!
I was 15 years old when this came out. Try to imagine how otherworldly this stuff sounded in 1969. I’m still listening to it.
Ten years gone is one of my favs...travelling Riverside Blues, No Quarter, Thank You, Trampled Under Foot...soooo many more!!!
Great reaction! I just love watching folks discovering the sound track of my youth!!!
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤
My favorite band since 69❤
You need to DROP something listening to this!
You don't NEED TO but I think it was designed for that
Acid rock at its finest. I can still remember some of the hallucinations I had while listening to this on LSD 55 years ago.
True love is when you love someone even when you hate them.
Psychedelic rock blues. A genre of their creation and a master drummer, bass player, guitarist, and vocalist.
When this song was released, it was mind blowing! Nothing like it ever before! LZ at their bluesy best!
You really should be doing, 'Since I've Been Loving You' next. That Led Zeppelin in all its blues! 😊
When we as teens heard these songs for the first time we knew we experiencing something magical..it was an exciting time. Saw them twice in concert..the best band ever..❤
Legendary band 🖐️

The best of the best of Led Zeppelin … if that’s even possible. 💯⭐️💯⭐️
I was raised on this since I was 5 years.Born 1963, and my eldest brother had their albums. Love it!
Btw, my favourite is Ramble On
This is on my “if I ever go on a psychedelic trip” playlist
Youre already on one.
Now, wipe the caterpillars off your feet and come in here and join the rest of us.
When I was 16 I played strip-strobe light- pool while tripping on shrooms with my best friends older sister… she was blasting this song.
Oh the memories with this one. I remember partying a bit when I was younger, and this one is the ultimate chill song.
Corey you hit it on the head about how the song perfectly personifies its title in its rhythmic change ups and Robert's soulful singing.
I’ve been looking forward to this reaction all day! LED Zeppelin never disappoints!
Another great reactions!!
This is fire 🔥
Appreciate that you listen to the whole tune and then comment. Almost all of LZ tunes need to be listened to in their entirety to fully appreciate the experience.
When they did this live it was stupendous.
You guys are turning into quite the little Rock n Roll trio!🎛🥁🎸🎙🎶🤘🤘🤘

I saw Led Zeppelin perform this song in concert in 1969 and 1970. They are electrifying in person.
Wow guys, I loved the depth of your comments on this tune. Thanks for a fresh perspective on this classic!
Thanks for listening
Watching all of you listening to Led Zep for the first time makes me feel like I am hearing it again for the first time. I am jealous.
Great song from the GOAT!
Jake Holmes?
Led Zeppelin does not
plug in to amplifiers
Led Zeppelin
plugs in to your Soul ❤️
F'N ROCK AND ROLLLL!!!!!!!
Who needs drugs when you have Led Zeppelin. That said…some good cannabis will enhance the experience! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😵💫
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band..
will be 70 in this year and I experienced this band from the go. this first album was their blusiest. all their stuff is hard and heavy. keep on rocking. I enjoy the channel.
Since Ive been loving you live at MSG is jaw dropping game changing stuff.. It sets the bar soooooo eff'n high.. Hard pressed to ever find better

I'm 58 one of the best bands ever next to rush,,, but I'm a drummer and by far my favorite drummer next to Neil Peart from Rush
