Robert Plant is blowin' that badass harp.
Harmonica
@@stace8080 You were the guy that raised his hand at the end of algebra class and told the teacher she forgot to assign homework.
@@beernmetal6964 I'm female and you would never find me tackling algebra. I'm thick as mince 😅
@@stace8080 haha

Robert Plant on the harmonica
So we gotta talk about those drums; Zep recorded those in the middle of a fancy mansion out in the countryside on a mobile studio in a truck they rented from the Rolling Stones. John Bonham set up his drum kit at the bottom of a spiral staircase, and they set up the mics at the top to capture that natural ambient reverb. To this day, it's one of the most sampled drum beats ever, most prominent being "Rhymin' and Stealin'" by the Beastie Boys.
It would be awesome to see you react to Rhymin and Stealin if you never heard it before.
All true, but the drums also have an echo. Rick Beato did a whole video recreating the sound.
The only reason to talk about Zeppelin is the drums. They broke up when he died. No Bonham. No Zeppelin.
I saw Page and Plant perform their "No Quarter " in the 90s. Believe me, Led Zeppelin broke up when i was 6 . This show Jimmy Page was as amazing, Robert Plant sang for 2 hours and 90% were Zeppelin. Sounded like Led Zeppelin to us. Amazing.
@@bartstarr100 That's true. But the 2007 O2 Arena reunion concert with John's son Jason on drums is pretty damn good. A good facsimile for me.
The mighty, mighty Led Zeppelin. The greatest band of all time. 99 out of 100 of their songs are legendary. Dude, this band is gonna change your life for the better.
Led Zeppelin is often described as "the blues on steroids"......this song is the blues on gamma rays!!!!
Blues on lsd?
Love to see young people enjoy and actually listen to this old stuff. Bless your heart!
I just love how this young man is digging on this song so hard!!👍✌♥️♥️
That's Robert Plant Killin It on The Harmonica!!🎶
You're hearing the Led Zeppelin catalogue for the first time?
LOL. I was the youngest of 7 back in the 1970s, I heard Led Zeppelin for the first time when my big brothers and sisters would get back from the record store, run up the stairs, unwrap the record and throw it on the record player.
The subject matter was mature enough so that Mom didn't want my young ears exposed to it, so I caught it from the crack under my brothers and sisters bedroom doors. A lot of times there would be a funny smell coming from under that door too.
The best band ever. I been listening to them over half my life. The Blues with a rock accent, flavored with LSD. The perfect place and time. Just 4 guys on the stage!
The band recorded the basic instrumental tracks to this song at a slightly quicker tempo. The tape was then slowed down a bit. This simple analog recording technique is what gives the song its dense hypnotic trance like atmosphere. Terrific reaction JRV. Thanks for sharing, RNB
Their just too good, nobody else can make me feel the music the way Zeppelin does. Damn! Many good bands have 3, 5, or even 10 great songs; Zeppelin has nearly their entire catalogue!!!! Too great for words.
Not a single bad song
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS was written by Memphis Minnie (June 3, 1897 -- August 6, 1973) was an American blues guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. She was the only female blues artist considered a match to male contemporaries as both a singer and an instrumentalist.
Robert Plant has been playing harmonica since he was a little kid. He’s quite good!
I’ll say😅
John Bonham's right foot was...'The Hammer of the God's.' Each song is a 'work of art yet undeniably Led Zeppelin.
Looking forward to you hearing 'Achiles Last Stand' off the album Presence.
Keep rockin'.... ✌😎
Zeppelin was blues influenced and it showed in "When The Levee Breaks." "Gallows Pole" was another song Zeppelin did that was originally "The Gallows Song" by Leadbelly and "Whole Lotta Love" was a Muddy Waters song called "You Need Love". Robert played the harp.
Yes !!!
Love your honest vocal and instrumental reaction to this. Refreshing to see young blood looking at old school music! Great work man!
Definitely a.classic. Zeppelin and Pink Floyd the two perfect bands
With The Who they were the holly trinity of rock.
It cracks me up that you younger people finally discovered the magic of Led Zeppelin. This was not done in a studio, but a dude with his drum set, a guitar god, Jimmy Paige, John Paul Jones, base and keyboards, Bonzo the drummer and over course that voice of Robert Plant. This my young loves, is talent.. I was listening to this music when I was 16. Glad you've caught up to us!
Love it "that bass", "those drums" , "that guitar", "those vocals"!
For serious, I love your zep reactions. I like that you look at the songs in the context of the whole album, I like that you know the names of audio filters and tech, and I like that you do research after the reaction for further info. Keep it coming, man. Thanks.
Tight groove .... killa harmonica ... electric bluzzzze..... and that bass holding it all together !!!
One of Bonham's best drum moments is 'Fool in the Rain' you wont believe it. Too many to list but that song from 'In Through The Out Door' album is perfection!
The Ocean, Trampled Under Foot, House of the Holy, Babe I'm gonna Leave You, Misty Mountain Top and No Quarter. All amazing!
Wait till you get to "Custard Pie" and "The Wanton Song" and "In My Time Of Dying."
Led Zeppelin is steeped in the southern blues! And that's Robert Plant playing harmonica.
Read the background on this song...Mississippi delta flooding in the south in the 30s I think? I don't think the organ was used...Jimmy's guitar. The people left the delta area for Chicago to find work.
It’s a cover of an old blues song by Kansas Joe McCoy & Memphis Minnie
1927 iirc
They took the Delta Blues of Mississippi and electrified it and brought it back to the states as though it was meant to be !!!!
1927 hurricane hit new orleans up the river. The us army core of engineers says that same hurricane again (due to the levys) would have 20 feet of water on Canal St. If you know the city you know thats the high ground.
Physical Graffiti is an amazing album...you will love it!
Excited for you to get to the album Physical Graffiti
Bro- I just said that above- almost word for word- I hadn’t seen your comment. While every Zeppelin album is iconic ( except In through the Out Door) - Physical Grafitti is the most jaw dropping in my opinion.
In My Time of Dying!!!
Custard pie!!!
Nobody can mangle the blues to such glorious effect like Led Zeppelin.
I'm not a huge Robert Plant guy as a rule, but his harmonica in this song is one if the best things to ever happen. He is definitely a musical guy and not just a tall hippie with a sock stuffed in his spray on pants lol.
The drums were sampled by a UK synthesizer company for their Emulator drum machine, available as a 'Rock Chip' Eprom upgrade. So you can hear Bonham's snare and bass drum on bands like Tears For Fears, Howard Jones, Cocteau Twins (whose entire 'Treasure' album was recorded with them).
Page’s guitar and Bonham’s drums are famous for sounding like one music entity. It’s definitely evident in this song. Plant does an incredible job on the vocals. Major kudos to John Paul Jones on bass. This is a remake of this song from Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. Love Zepplin.
You should check out the original.
Oh ya.... what a tune! They recorded the drums in a huge stairwell to get that larger than life effect!
One of the sickest beats ever by anyone. Love.
It would be interesting to see you react to Rhymin and Stealin now.
This song sums up this year pretty well.
I love how the instruments at the end are constantly moving from left to right. Especially when they sync up in the middle.
Great react...this song is so dynamic. One of my fav all time recordings.
This beat has been sampled for more rap songs than I can carry. Beastie boys "so whatcha want" comes to mind.
you mean rhymin and stealin
@@donrocktheimposter912 you are correct. both very similar tho
@Cindy Morre Fact.
Love the new background, very trippy.
Zeppelin and rush ! Greatest musicians and bands of time
This song has a lot of Blues in it!
Zepp loved American Blues.
Jay!! You did a Zeppelin!! Thank you! ❤ Congrats on the subs!! Yes Robert on the harmonica!
Absolutely ingenious reaction. I like that you are musically educated, I don't know if you are self-taught or in school, but it is definitely a great reaction.
Ohhh yeah!! So many layers of music. Unbelievable unmatched unable to turn it off
man there is no special filters, mixing, effects, just raw perfection of the blues on 4 young guys from england..
One of my favorite Zeppelin tracks!🔥🔥❤👍
All their songs are good… but this a masterpiece
Memphis Minnie---1927 a Black blues Lady that could ROCK the blues and play a mean guitar!!! I love Black Folks reacting to this and feeling that connection to Mississippi River Delta blues. I love watching ANYONE that enjoys the Blues reacting to this !!
Mean ol' levee.....
ruclips.net/video/W5VmVvsjyKw/видео.html Here is the original song
I love that you're a young dude but appreciate the whole Album concept. Albums as their own unit concept. Not just compilations of Hits of every band, but the artistic endeavor of the Album. Its great to see a young person get the concept.
Beautiful.
Robert Plant lead singer plays the harmonica and Bonzo on drums
Greatest cover song ever recorded. Written by Kansas Joe McCoy about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and the mass exodus to Chicago as a result.
it's an old blues song by Memphis Minnie- I had it as a ring tone for a while- but Zep put the stank on it and the rest is legend
All hail Bonhams right foot especially those triplets near the end of the song
I didn't see anyone mention that the harmonica Plant was playing was played in reverse. That's why it has such an unusual sound. Killer song. Thanks for reacting!
After Stairway, this might be my favorite LZ song. 🔥👏👏
How ya doin'? Great reaction as always. This song is taken from an old blues number, about the great Mississippi flood of 1927.
This song is one hell of an exercise for time keeping, self-control and pocket for the drummers out there. No spicy fills or chops, just straight groove like a freight train.
Other great songs that I like to play for the same purpose are I Won't Back Down (Tom Petty), Billie Jean and Vultures (by John Mayer) to name a few.
You can call John Bonham: "Bonzo". You earned it. Great reaction! Subbed
Ahhh...your first steps on the Zep discovery...My uncle turned me on to these guys back in the 70s & 80s..Enjoy it man, they are fantastic.
One of my favorites!! Thanks, young dude, Rock On ❤️😁
gotta love their crunchy sound.
This, Black Dog, Tangerine, and Thank You are probably my favorite LZ songs, but it's so hard to choose because their body of work is so incredible. There are a lot of great tracks on the albums you haven't gotten to yet too. You're in for a treat or two and thanks for taking us with you on the journey.
Little pro-tip for you you Jay from someone who listens to a lot of Zep. The "dark remaster" that you listened to is a fan remaster of the audio mix on youtube. IMO it's the best mix, and that engineer has done that to a few Zeppelin songs I believe on youtube I believe. And the thing is because the mix is different it helps it not be copyright detected on youtube so it stays up. You should search that channel and use their remasters for your reactions in the future if you can because of this.
If I could name my all-time favorite song, it might just be this one.
To quote Joe Perry ( lead guitarist of Aerosmith ) when he spoke of Led Zeppelin: "In every album, they shift through all 6 gears".......end quote.
My favorite Zeppelin song ❤️❤️❤️
God Gifted musicians!!!! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 The GOATS
You should have been there......40,000 hard core Zepelin fans....grooving.....they'd nail the songs dig deep.....You should have been at their shows !!!
This drum track has been used as much as Clyde Stubblefield. Was recorded in the entryway of Jayne Seymore's family castle
your right the the instrumentation is flawless, but man those drums!
I was at this albums Tour Concert in Philly it was incredible...they were incredible....
This is just a badass tune!
Great reaction. This song was a fitting culmination to one of the best rock albums of all time. Jimmy Page was not only an amazing guitarist and songwriter, he also produced all of Zeppelin's albums. So the sound, and the mixing was done per his direction.
Led IV, one of the best rock albums of all time, really !
I'm going to have to join your Patreon...I wanna see all the Zeppelin stuff! Do it all...live too!
I can listen to this all day
Getting back to the G.O.A.T!! ✌️so much more to react to!! That Physical Graffiti album will change your mind of favorite LZ album!
man I got that album, yeah back in the day we played albums.. man I wore this one out... every song is a hit to me
1971 this was released
This band was 20 light years ahead of the human race
I love Page's gritty slide guitar tone.
Those Bonham fills during the fadeout...!!!
The harmonica is a sure-fire face melter!
Zeppelin helped me understand what people meant when they said rock was based on blues.
Hey, I appreciate your honesty with your reviews. Thats a rarity with reviewers as I think they believe they will get more likes and views if they are overly positive about everything they hear. People should be able to see right through that. Everything cant be incredible, even from incredible iconic artists.Thank you for your honest thoughts and opinions.
Drums are unreal in this song. Love the rest of it, but I could listen to that drum beat on it's own and then run through a goddam wall.
I like that you consider very carefully what you criticize and what you praise - perfect for the job you do here! Well done!
Just for the record: Led Zeppelin started out as a blues band. They diversified later.
Zeppelin’s only had two drummers, John and his son Jason. Check Jason out in:
Heart’s tribute to Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven.
You’ve not discovered Rock’s greatest females, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson.
Thanks for being a breath of fresh air in this time of craziness!!
Robert Plant along with his awesome voice also plays the harmonica
Little Robert Anthony on the Harp killing it
The best cover of the classic 1929 song by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 when American rock n roll was heard by British kids in the early 1950's many were also being influenced by African American blues music and its a large reason why the British music industry became a juggernaut in the 1960's as the talented youth of a different culture developed and took the music in totally new and fresh directions much as Jamaican Ska/Reggae led to the British 2 Tone Ska revival in the late 1970's and early 80's.
Everything Zepp is awesome. Rock on Jay!😆
Led 1 and 2 are my favorites.
Those drums, yo!! Fool in the Rain!!!!!!!
Really good reaction man. All the elements you noticed were spot on. Subscribed.
Beasties, SaltnPepper, TuPac and many more sampled John Bonham's drums on Levee. Probably the most sampled part in history.
Good to have you back doing Zeppelin on RUclips....risky business. Great review .... again.
Yeah I agree with you as for Van Halen and Led Zeppelin their first albums are my favorite.
Check out Nobody's Fault but Mine and Traveling Riverside Blues.
This tune is used for the credits at the end of the movie The Big Short. It was perfect in that.
