The "girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" and the "queen without a king who plays his guitar and cries and sings" is Joni Mitchell! Also, Led Zeppelin are a band that sounds, ancient, modern and futuristic all at the same time.
Even more interesting is Joni’s personal response to this tribute. She said that while most mainstream bands and even music journalists at the time were reluctant or embarrassed to admit they liked her music, she commended LZ for being upfront about her influence.
If you listen to the version of “going to California” on the “how the west was won” live album, recorded at the forum in LA in 1972… after the line “….and she sings” Robert even says “Joni”. It’s an amazing version if you haven’t heard it, and 100% confirms it was inspired by Joni. 👍
@@Heartstrings_Skyla Robert Plant did not write "The Rain Song". He wrote the lyrics, as usual, once the song was presented to him. Jimmy Page wrote the melody at his home in Plumpton
Their musical diversity is unbelievable. They did so many amazing songs. Many people who don’t know a lot about the band just think they are hard rock. They are MUCH more than that. The Rain Song is another beautiful song.
Zeppelin is one of the most musically diverse bands. No two songs are the same. Another lovely tune that will pull at your heartstrings is The Rain Song, especially the live at MSG 73. Also, their first TV appearance for Denmark Radio in 1969 of How Many More Times highlights all of the band members, including Jonesy, definitely worth a watch :)
It would also be good to include "The Song Remains the Same" together with "The Rain Song" since they blend together at the concert, which they were also back to back on the album
That little smile that Jimmy gives JPJ when he particularly loves what JPJ is playing - I wanted to see JPJ in that moment too... It's always annoyed and perplexed me as to why JPJ isn't featured more in this video (and in LZ videos in general). I want to see those beautiful, intricate mandolin lines being played. I wanted to see both him and Jimmy in the frame together, to see how they are interacting and interweaving their playing. The mandolin lines are as important as the guitar, and without showing him on the screen, people just think it's Jimmy's guitar, rather than the beautiful duet that it is. Baffling.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov Of course. I mean more that I wanted to see the performance, see JPJ and JP interacting when they were duetting. For me, that's as much about it as anything - although I know for some people it's not as important. I think I just get annoyed when JPJ is shown so little - generally - when he is such an integral part of the sound. I like to see that represented in the visuals too.
John Paul Jones didn't want cameras on him. He wanted to be anonymous in that band. He was is a very humble man. If you want to see him out front, watch Celebration Day.
The middle of every concert after 1973 featured this acoustic set of 3 or 4 songs while they sat on stools. It gave Bonzo a chance to rest and have a drink or 3. Who is not featured in this song but should be, was John Paul Jones playing the mandolin. He also plays bass with his feet while strumming......the best musician in the band in the shadows
The 1969 Danish (black and white) TV is better....they were drunk, and WAY too musically overindulgent in the MSG performance (and low tempo)...and not just for Dazed and Confused, but the whole MSG set (they were trying to show off for the SRTS movie, and it was just too much).
And this is why Zeppelin is the greatest. If they'd remade Zeppelin I over and over, I don't think they'd be as iconic as they are. They ROCKED... and they made this lovely thing.
If you like the softer side of Led Zeppelin, you should also listen to "The Rain Song", "All of My Love", or "Fool in the Rain". (Fool in the Rain is a little "faster" than the others. "The Lemon Song" starts off slow and transitions back and forth between a slow sexy rhythm and a fast driving rock tempo. The lyrics are a little "nasty" but it's got one of my favorite bass lines of any song. John Paul Jones absolutely KILLS it!
JPJ is the highly underrated Master of all Trades. The man plays Bass, Guitar, Mandolin (as in this song), Keyboards, Bass pedals and so on... I agree, he is not shown enough.
When you listen to Led Zeppelin's song "The Battle of Evermore" you'll see the connection to JRR Tolkien's LOTR trilogy. It contains the only female vocals on a studio album performed by Sandy Denny, a member of the British folk rock band Fairport Convention. You will need to hear the studio cut from the fourth album.
Here's another love song, it's called, Thank You. Robert wrote it for his then wife Morean." If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. If mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me
Stacey, Led Zep is/was a band for all seasons and feelings. with Ballads, Blues, Instrumentals , Hard Rock , Metal, and Contemporary styles. i am 73 and got to see them lLve after my future wife and I hitch hiked to southern Cal from Indiana. way back in 1975. (The last years of safer hitch hiking.. and we met some amazing people for rides). Saw them at Long Beach Arena with a mellow respectful crowd that year. Tickets were only $10.50 and they rambled on for a full 3 1/2 hours, no breaks. Saw the Doobie Brothers there too ,a few weeks later. I like your feelings for their music. This song was when the joints were being passed around ,down the rows. Heh. I am a lucky guy. Met Jimmy Page when he was playing with Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds in my hometown in 1967...,but that's another amazing story. Peace & Love ,Beautiful. You are so mellow. Nice.
They would very typically do 3 or 3 1/2 hour concerts, so they'd do an acoustic set in the middle to get a chance to sit down. Of course they had a bunch of acoustic beautiful songs in their discography, so they had plenty of stuff to choose from. Because they were Led Zeppelin. They could play anything they wanted.
There is something magical about watching a musician actually playing an instrument, any instrument, and hearing the music produced right in front of you. To see someone making these odd little incantations of abstract yet precise finger movements and hearing that translated, or transcended, into heavenly sounds which mix and mingle to create a coherent piece of music is genuinely awe-inspiring to me. I've never been surprised that ancient musicians were permanently attached to and associated with temples to honour the Gods. Where else could this transient beauty have originated?
Led Zeppelin II album starts with Immigrant Song, one of the hardest rock songs of all time, but the B-Side had all acoustic songs with banjos, mandolins etc .. and somewhere one of the greatest blues-rock songs of all time "Since I've Been Loving You"...
Highly recommend "No Quarter" from their live concert at Madison Square Garden "The Song Remains The Same" film/album. Fantastic keyboards from John Paul Jones and one of Jimmy Page's best guitar solos
This song was their tribute to Joni Mitchell. Page and Plant absolutely loved Joni. Since you loved this, you'll have to review Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You from Led Zeppelin I. Also, if you want to hear more of this lower-register style of singing from Plant, you need to review their underrated masterpiece Ten Years Gone, from the Physical Graffiti album, and Tea For One from the Presence album. And, yes, they are without a doubt the most musically versatile rock band in history. No other rock band has managed to cover hard rock, soft rock, Chicago blues, reggae, blue grass, Celtic folk, traditional folk, prog, Americana, country, Delta blues, funk, blues rock, metal, British traditionals, etc.
The folk vibe of this song….even the melody of the guitar and mandolin, was based heavily on the “California sound” of the mid to late 60’s….when that type of music was such a part of the counter-culture of that time. It’s cool that the song is “Going to California” and it’s done in that distinctive California musical style.
Back then it was hard to believe each album was as good as the last. So we had to check them out the couple of times they came to town. They gave us lots of great memories.
Our parents did not like our music, they did not know. they just hear all the hard stuff and said it was screaming. We were a culture of young peeps coming up. What a great time to be alive
My mother was a classical pianist, taught piano. When I first got the sheet music for the Rain Song, I asked her to play it for me so I could watch her, and she thought it was really pretty until I told her it was by Led Zeppelin (then considered a heavy metal band.) That was the closest she ever came to liking any of my music lol.
Led Zeppelin and every other group and musician alive came to California and played the sunset strip in the 70s and 80. Small clubs within walking distance. On the same night you could see Led Zeppelin, the who and the doors.👍😎
1982, out of college in Michigan, no job prospect and this song on cassette. Hopped in the car, cranked the radio up and started a road trip to California. My vacation lasted 12 years. So yes, lots of fond memories around this song. You will be pleasantly surprised how many acoustic songs are in the LZ catalog. Keep going, Stacey.
Quite simply the greatest acoustic/folk song ever written. This was part of their “acoustic” set. Right slap bang in the middle of their concert they’d sit down and throw out these soft tunes. Zeppelin were masters of light and shade, a whisper to the thunder. Check out “That’s the Way” and Bron Yr Aur Stomp” from the same concert. More acoustic bliss. Loving the reactions and can’t wait for more
John Paul Jones is probably the biggest not so secret weapon in a band. Multi talented musician, song writer He was a sought after sessions musician before joining Led Zep His playing compliments John Bonham’s drumming so good, and visa versa. He’s that classic bridge between the rhythm and the beat
I love zeppelin acustic/soft/slow side specially this one ..I also love tangerine ..that's the way ..the battle of the..hey hey what can I do...your time is gonna come..baby come on home
Lovely reaction ✌️ Zeppelin started doing an acoustic set in 1970. They did it all through 1971 and 1972, took a break from it in 1973 (hence why there isn't one in the Madison Square Garden footage) then resumed it in 1975 and 1977. Cheers. PS) The BBC Sessions and How The West Was Won releases have lovely live acoustic sets.
If you haven't heard since I've been loving you you need to see the live version Robert is unbelievable in the live version and Jimmy's guitar work is amazing!
🤍🤍🤍👣 ... so so so good ! I sing this one with my band, and every time I sing it I love it more. My guitarist really nails the feel of this one... and I feel so much every time. I am very glad to see you taking this musical journey. You will find that the bands of the 70s play diverse .. think diverse .. and feel diverse ... they were not pigeon holed to one type of sing. They were true musicians. Love this .. and I am very glad that you love this. 👣🤍🤍🤍
They regularly did acoustic sets during their concerts. They usually lasted about 15 minutes or so. They didn't want to be know as just hard slamming rock but wanted to show their light and shade, as they called it. Some other acoustic songs for you to check would be 'Friends' - 'Battle of Evermore' - 'Tangerine' - 'That's the Way' - 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' - (This one is not acoustic but is a ballade) 'The Rain Song' - (this one is more of a country song) 'Down by the Seaside'
John Paul Jones was quite happy to stay in the background. He claimed that when the others were creating mayhem he could walk down the street and not get noticed especially in places like Los Angeles. He could create his own havoc on his terms.
I think the reasons that videos don’t focus on JPJ more is that….contrary to Robert, Jimmy and Bonzo….he’s very stoic on stage. His expression is the same as it would be in the studio. He is not animated. That takes NOTHING away from his immense musical genius. It just means he’s not a natural “performer” and never sought the limelight. He always stayed in that back corner, glued to Bonham. And he quite preferred it that way. He never sought fame. He enjoyed being able to go out for walks when the band was on tour and not be recognized, while Robert and Jimmy were stuck inside the hotel because they were so recognizable. As Robert has said, he had to “scamper back to the hotel, which was no fun, while Jonesy could just continue on….”.
The song was written because JP Jones brought a mandolin to the Led Zep IV sessions. In Through The Out Door is a John Paul Jones album, and "In The Evening", "Darlene" and "Carouselambra" are ace off of that album.
Oh, Stacey. I told you before about seeing Pink Floyd in concert. Also saw Led Zeppelin in the early 70s. What a time to be alive!! It is great to see them again…through your eyes.
You will not be disappointed with Led Zeppelin "In my time of dying" studio version. Drums like you have never heard and change of tempos. One of their best songs!! Also, you will love deep purple, "Highway star" live made in Japan. All time great rock song. NOBODY better than Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Jimi Page even admitted that in an interview once.
Zeppelin did have quite a few folk songs. From the get-go the band set no limits on the type of music they would do. But the first album was about establishing the band with a lot of hard rock and electric blues to get attention. The third album had several acoustic songs. That was two years after the first.
Such a beautiful reaction and Led Zeppelin Incorporated acoustic elements into some of their biggest hits, if you think about it Stairway to Heaven is mostly that way. But it's just so creative and wonderful in general. I can't remember if you've done Babe I'm Gonna Leave You from their first album. It starts off acoustic like this but then when it comes in it's not heavily electric but you do have John Bonham fully crashing in on the drums and it goes frenetic, then it just keeps settling back out into this beautiful acoustic texture. It's so compelling and it's a fan favorite.
Another song from this acoustic set in the same vein is “Thats the Way”, which is also quite lovely….and for a more upbeat, fun acoustic song, try Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.
Led Zeppelin says it all. Had their first album on a 8 track tape. Everyone says it’s a toss up who was the first to delve into heavy metal. Have a request a little older. The group is Iron Butterfly, the song In-A-Gadda-Vida.
If you wanna see more of JPJ Stacey I suggest you watch LZ perform No Quarter from the 2007 celebration day concert from the O2 in London, to see them perform at such a high quality when they’re in their 60s is truly something to behold, another fantastic reaction Stacey ❤ 👏👏
And have you watched the David Letterman interview from 2012? JPJ just SLAYS it…he has everyone in stitches. Jimmy and Robert are sitting there rather flabbergasted that “Jonesy” is no longer the “quiet one”.
Great reaction, Stacy! I really enjoy seeing people today react to music and bands that I have enjoyed for 50+ years. Led Zeppelin has so many facets to their music. In his solo career, Robert has gone into many different musical directions. I'd like to see you listen to some of his post Zep stuff.
Another great in-depth reaction Stacey! Here's another suggestion, from Led Zeppelin's RUclips channel, "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (Live at Earls Court 1975). It's actually about Robert Plant's dog.
This was my favorite part of their show in 77/when I saw them in the Pontiac Silverdome. It was amazing. To see John Paul Jones playing mandolin was mesmerizing.
John Paul Jones was/is a genius. He freed Plant and Page to be rock gods.
You are so right 👍🏻👍🏻
What a great way to put it! Thanks John.
JPJ was so versatile that he could empower the band from a prismoidal perspective.😊❤
So well put, he was a musical genius
Yeah, he's got great genes, his parents were master musicians. Indeed, their kid is a genius musician.
The "girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" and the "queen without a king who plays his guitar and cries and sings" is Joni Mitchell!
Also, Led Zeppelin are a band that sounds, ancient, modern and futuristic all at the same time.
I've heard this.
Joni's classic Blue influenced musicians throughout the 70's, and beyond, including the lovely tune, California. 🌞
Independent verification means the world to me.
Even more interesting is Joni’s personal response to this tribute. She said that while most mainstream bands and even music journalists at the time were reluctant or embarrassed to admit they liked her music, she commended LZ for being upfront about her influence.

They have many beautiful songs, The Rain Song which is absolutely beautiful!
yeah my fave of all their soft stuff.
lol. I just mentioned that too. I haven’t seen anyone react to it of late either.
The rain song ... masterpiece 👌🏼
The rain song is also my favorite. Robert Plant wrote it.
@@Heartstrings_Skyla
Robert Plant did not write "The Rain Song".
He wrote the lyrics, as usual, once the song was presented to him.
Jimmy Page wrote the melody at his home in Plumpton
Led Zeppelin… the gift that keeps giving.
John Paul Jones was Led Zeppelins secret weapon. He’s an amazing musician who can play pretty much anything
Their musical diversity is unbelievable. They did so many amazing songs. Many people who don’t know a lot about the band just think they are hard rock. They are MUCH more than that. The Rain Song is another beautiful song.

yes, and I would include Ten Years Gone as an option. Cheers Mr Tea!
Definitely agree with the "How Many More Times" TV appearance from Danmarks Radio in 1969! An awesome & raw performance!
@@johnspinelli6170 😂 Mr Tea. Yes, another great option. Cheers.

Live they are absolutely magical! JPJ on that mandolin!
Led Zeppelin music is enchanting.
The live version of "Dazed and Confused", Madison Square Garden, 1973.
All 26 minutes of it.
A masterpiece.
My least favorite zeppelin song
The 1969 Danish (black and white) TV is better....they were drunk, and WAY too musically overindulgent in the MSG performance (and low tempo)...and not just for Dazed and Confused, but the whole MSG set (they were trying to show off for the SRTS movie, and it was just too much).
i like the 35min versions. the band interpolates other artist track as well....
And this is why Zeppelin is the greatest. If they'd remade Zeppelin I over and over, I don't think they'd be as iconic as they are. They ROCKED... and they made this lovely thing.
Listen to Greta van fleet they sound exactly like them
@alexorick699
Nobody sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin.
This is part of the acoustic set they would implement within their 3 hour shows. They mandolin and guitar together produce such a sweet, warm sound. ❤
Any Genre they want to do, they own! The GOATS OF GOATS!😉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you like the softer side of Led Zeppelin, you should also listen to "The Rain Song", "All of My Love", or "Fool in the Rain". (Fool in the Rain is a little "faster" than the others.

The most beautiful song in the Led Zeppelin catalog is, "Rain Song". ✌️
True that!
The Battle of Evermore is another beautiful song by them.
indeed
This song was about the folk singer Joni Mitchell. And the flower power in San Francisco in the late 60s early 70s
Here's another love song, it's called, Thank You. Robert wrote it for his then wife Morean." If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. If mountains crumble to the sea, there will still

This is the Celtic influence on Led Zeppelin. This can be heard throughout their career. Beautiful. Great reaction.
English folk as well not just Celtic. The mandolin is very medieval English.

There is another acoustic song from this set that I think you would love - it's "That's The Way"
Absolutely!
I love zeppelin acustic/soft/slow side specially this one ..I also love tangerine ..that's the way ..the battle of the..hey hey what can I do...your time is gonna come..baby come on home
You're seriously affecting my heartbeat.
The acoustic companion song to this is That's The Way.
One of my faves and no one ever seems to know it.
Roberts range is insane, apparently he started out doing Elvis impressions for his family when he was a young lad,I love his lower tones 😊
Few groups have as broad a range of styles as Led Zeppelin. The Beatles and Queen come to mind. Which is very high praise.
Lovely reaction ✌️

PS) The BBC Sessions and How The West Was Won releases have lovely live acoustic sets.
Great song! Thank you tor the reaction and hope you will do many more Zeppelin reactions! ❤
Stacey...........Zeppelin can play anything and it sounds great!!
If you haven't heard since I've been loving you you need to see the live version Robert is unbelievable in the live version and Jimmy's guitar work is amazing!
Going to California is about a new start in life and finding a new love
Good to see younger generations take in the greatness of Led Zeppelin. Keep going, it gets even better.
Love watching you realize you're listening to something special. And you are correct that John Paul Jones needs to be recognized.

Just a tip…both are magical live!
Their music includes blues, rock, proto-metal, acoustic, ballads, funk, reggae, country, samba, progressive....the entire range of musical styles.

I think the reasons that videos don’t focus on JPJ more is that….contrary to Robert, Jimmy and Bonzo….he’s very stoic on stage. His expression is the same as it would be in the studio. He is not animated. That takes NOTHING away from his immense musical genius. It just means he’s not a natural “performer” and never sought the limelight. He always stayed in that back corner, glued to Bonham. And he quite preferred it that way. He never sought fame. He enjoyed being able to go out for walks when the band was on tour and not be recognized, while Robert and Jimmy were stuck inside the hotel because they were so recognizable. As Robert has said, he had to “scamper back to the hotel, which was no fun, while Jonesy could just continue on….”.
With Zeppelin you cant go wrong. I love watching your reaction. Had to go back and watch your Kashmir reaction. priceless
Some fantastic Led Zeppelin songs you have yet to react to: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (audio), Battle Of Evermore (audio), Dazed And Confused (audio).
2 songs that are not their originals but the don't matter really,,,
So beautiful, every part of it acoustic perfection ❤
You really should listen to two songs by them, 'Thank You' and 'The Rain Song'. Its some of the slower pieces by them!
The song was written because JP Jones brought a mandolin to the Led Zep IV sessions.
In Through The Out Door is a John Paul Jones album, and "In The Evening", "Darlene" and "Carouselambra" are ace off of that album.
They would do an acoustic set in the middle of their shows. It was great to see that change in the middle of shows.
Oh, Stacey. I told you before about seeing Pink Floyd in concert. Also saw Led Zeppelin in the early 70s. What a time to be alive!! It is great to see them again…through your eyes.
You will not be disappointed with Led Zeppelin "In my time of dying" studio version. Drums like you have never heard and change of tempos. One of their best songs!! Also, you will love deep purple, "Highway star" live made in Japan. All time great rock song. NOBODY better than Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Jimi Page even admitted that in an interview once.
This is my all time favorite song ever ever!
Zeppelin did have quite a few folk songs. From the get-go the band set no limits on the type of music they would do. But the first album was about establishing the band with a lot of hard rock and electric blues to get attention. The third album had several acoustic songs. That was two years after the first.
I was so happy you did this song. I knew you would love it the way I always have. Over the hills and Far away is another one close to the heart ! ❤❤
Such a beautiful reaction and Led Zeppelin Incorporated acoustic elements into some of their biggest hits, if you think about it Stairway to Heaven is mostly that way. But it's just so creative and wonderful in general.
I can't remember if you've done Babe I'm Gonna Leave You from their first album. It starts off acoustic like this but then when it comes in it's not heavily electric but you do have John Bonham fully crashing in on the drums and it goes frenetic, then it just keeps settling back out into this beautiful acoustic texture. It's so compelling and it's a fan favorite.
Another song from this acoustic set in the same vein is “Thats the Way”, which is also quite lovely….and for a more upbeat, fun acoustic song, try Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.
Led Zeppelin says it all. Had their first album on a 8 track tape. Everyone says it’s a toss up who was the first to delve into heavy metal. Have a request a little older. The group is Iron Butterfly, the song In-A-Gadda-Vida.
If you wanna see more of JPJ Stacey I suggest you watch LZ perform No Quarter from the 2007 celebration day concert from the O2 in London, to see them perform at such a high quality when they’re in their 60s is truly something to behold, another fantastic reaction Stacey ❤ 👏👏
Absolutely, one of their best albums. 1979, my first listen.
You are right on the money about John Paul Jones! His gorgeous mandolin playing here dovetails perfectly with the basic rhythms that Page laying down!
Their interviews are great to watch too, Robert really has a great sense of humor, & you learn a lot about them.
And have you watched the David Letterman interview from 2012? JPJ just SLAYS it…he has everyone in stitches. Jimmy and Robert are sitting there rather flabbergasted that “Jonesy” is no longer the “quiet one”.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 yes I have.
So blessed that I saw Zeppelin 2x in the 70's!
Great reaction, Stacy! I really enjoy seeing people today react to music and bands that I have enjoyed for 50+ years. Led Zeppelin has so many facets to their music. In his solo career, Robert has gone into many different musical directions. I'd like to see you listen to some of his post Zep stuff.
Another good low pitch one is That’s the Way, live at Earls Court!
Another great in-depth reaction Stacey! Here's another suggestion, from Led Zeppelin's RUclips channel, "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (Live at Earls Court 1975). It's actually about Robert Plant's dog.
One albums of my favourite Zep3- gallows Pole , tangerine so many tracks to love, worth a listen then there is so much more!
on the 1977 tour (when I saw them) Led Zeppelin always did a short acoustic set, 3 or 4 songs. This was one of them.
I believed they started the acoustic set from 1970 and did it on all tours from then to 1977 except 1973.
@@lyndoncmp5751 sounds about right.
@neillenet291
Yes I checked my Led Zeppelin A Celebration book to confirm.
Cheers.
The Rain Song is another chill tune you will love!
Love your reaction 😊 I always Loved this song. And I think its one of their most underrated ones. Not sure why
A classic chords duet. John P. Jones and J. Page are fantastic. Plant is great. Thanks, Stacy! 👏👏👏
If you love this then you will surely love ,"That's the way, it is part of their acoustic set that they did during the live shows
I also think you'd really like the song.( Thank you) it's a love song to his wife for helping him and sticking by him
Probably the most mellow song they ever did but it's a great one! True legends of kick ass hard driving rock !!
This was my favorite part of their show in 77/when I saw them in the Pontiac Silverdome. It was amazing. To see John Paul Jones playing mandolin was mesmerizing.
