Robert Plant is the singer, Jimmy Page is the guitar player, John Paul Jones is bass player and John Bonham is the drummer. For me this song seriously rode the groove of Bonham's drumming...R.I.P. Bonzo! Keep going on with the Zep reactions...many many great songs!
Four of the GREATEST musicians to ever walk the earth... Robert Plant vocals harmonica, Jimmy Page guitar, John Bonham drums and the genius John Paul Jones bass guitar and keyboard.
@@juliemanarin4127 if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?, I was born in 1959, I grew up on all of this music , back then most of it was about love & togetherness nowadays most of it seems to be about hate, & greed.
[What is and what should never be] by Led Zeppelin Is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song if I was to ever claim one as being there all good it's hard to tell which one's better
Wow, you are on a roll with this one, dear lady, one of the best, hypnotic, blues rock jams ever. Robert Plant is killer on the harmonica and the band just settles in this atmospheric heavy groove that does me every time. For more of their amazing chops, try Since I've Been Loving You Live, from the Song Remains the Same soundtrack. Watch that video and be amazed! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
The way you feel after you are one Led Zeppelin song after another and after another the way you feel it takes you to a different place and I think that's what's called getting the Led Out
I so enjoy watching you groove along to this great blues rock jam. Even better hearing you say how you are becoming a Led Zeppelin fan. They were such an important part of my youth.
"When The Levee Breaks" finishes off side two of Led Zeppelin's fourth album. Time to flip the record over and listen to it again from the beginning! Dig how the shuffle in the bridge disrupts the hypnotic charge of the minor dirge that drives most of the song with some major chord carnage -- "Oh, don't it make you feel bad \ When you're trying to find your way home \ You don't know which way to go \ If you're going down south, they got no work to do \ If you're going north to Chicago\ Ah, ah, ah, hey" ... The video showcases fire, but the song is about water. Back in the day the record cover was what there was visually to accompany the music. That album featured runes, robes, and lanterns in keeping with "Stairway to Heaven" and "The Battle of Evermore". "When the Levee Breaks" was recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. That version is heartfelt but very old time in style and recording quality. The contrast between the versions -- more than forty years apart -- is like that between a lonely 40 watt light bulb lighting up a porch on a dark night and an electrified-amplified-neon lit boulevard packed with people grooving to the vibe.
The sound techs and engineers and producers did something that just can't be reproduced with this song. They put mics in weird places all around this castle. Like mics hanging from the ceiling with the drums down stairs and Plant in the shower upstairs. All sorts of crazy shit. They drilled holes in floors, walls, ceilings all sorts of crazy shit to get the echo's and such. It's crazy all the shit they did for this one...
The Great Mississippi Flood Of 1927,, The Most Destructive Flood In U.S. History,, Water In Some Places Reaching Over 30 Feet..R.I.P. To The 500+ Souls Lost On That Day🙏❤
Robert Plant is the lead vocalist and also plays the harmonica. I'm so glad you're becoming a Led Zeppelin fan! I remember when I was discovering their music and how they became my favorite band at the time. Such talented musicians, and they weren't afraid to break new ground often.
The drummer, John Bonham, creates the most interesting time signatures. A lesser band would devolve into chaos. But they're so tight. Very atmospheric song. Sad, reminds me of Katrina.
As I recall, you reacted to Stairway to Heaven live version. That's good but the guitar work of studio version (on same album as this song) is perfection and more polished. Studio version was the hit and perhaps the greatest song of the rock era. I suggest, therefore, that you react to studio version of Stairway to Heaven. btw, the version of Levee that you played here is the original best I can tell
KUDOS to you , for Knowing that You heard a Harmonica!! You would be Surprised just How Many Reactors have No Idea that's a Harmonica, being Played by The Lead Singer Robert Plant! He Did the Vocals first, then went back later to Record the Harmonica parts! Great Reaction Dear!
It’s a terrible storm, the moanful sound of the wind(harp & guitar) The unrelenting pounding if the surf(drums) with cymbal crashing waves And the wind 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?
One of my FAVORITES! This Zep song came out (late 60s) when I moved to a small 'levee' town in extreme NE LA (after my Mom died) where my Dad still lived. Where I was born, by the way! Researched it and discovered a very much earlier (1920s) version not by Zep!
Rumor is that Paige wanted to call the band the yardbirds 2, and Eric Clapton said that will go over like a Led Balloon. The video might be of the Hindenberg
It warms my heart to hear you say you are becoming a Led Zeppelin fan . you add class and beauty to our fan club for sure . only about 100 or so songs to catch up . welcome
Keep the Zeppelin coming - you won't be sorry. This is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song - Jimmy talked about the entry way stairwell that had a new drum kit set up where they were making the album at Hedley Grange and that huge sound of those heavy drums changed the way drummers thought about recording forever.
That opening drum beat has to be one of the best of all time. Led Zeppelin 4 (or Zoso) is a great album. This is the very last song on it. Great way to end an LP listening spree. Other great songs of this album are "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" , "Misty Mountain Hop" and of course "Stairway to Heaven". Although you can't go wrong with any track on the album.
I've never thought much about having a favorite song, because with so much to enjoy, it seems pointless. But when that thought does enter my head, this is definitely one of the first songs I think of!
Don't know when you released this, but the Led Zero members are: Robert Plant on vocals (and harmonica); Jimmy Page on guitar; John Bonham on drums; and John Paul Jones on keyboard/bass. You asked about Queen. Freddie Mercury on vocals and piano; Brian May on guitar; John Deacon on bass; Roger Taylor on drums.
This was written just after the great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Recorded a number of times, still love it. (edit) This song is much better than the original to modern ears, the original by Memphis Minnie (I believe) was a slow blusey number, recorded on 1928 equipment.
Robert Plant...vocals/harmonica Jimmy Page...guitarist/Theramin John Bonham...drummer and occasional back up singer John Paul Jones...bass/keyboards/mandolin/synth/anything else needed
So glad you’re a fan. This band was just beginning when I returned from the Nam. Robert and I are the same age and the first album they put out was mine. I spent the years passing by without ever getting tired of them. Oh, and the harmonica was done by the singer,Robert Plant. It’s great to share my band with a new generation.;)
So, LED ZEPPELIN has many, many great songs that are above average amazing....but this song.....is THE CREAM OF THE CROP......absolutely my favorite ZEPPELIN song and always will be. Play it loud!!!✌😊
I knew you'd love Zep from your first reaction so long ago to Since I've Been Loving You which almost brought you to tears. The drum patterns from this song were some of the most sampled in early hip hop. Singer Robert Plant also plays the harmonica. Guitarist Jimmy Page created the band and produced all their albums. Multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones played bass, keys, and mandolin, and John "Bonzo" Bonham was their legendary drummer. As you read, this song is a reworking of the original song recorded in 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy about the flood of the Mississippi Delta in 1927. It was part of the Great Migration which saw more African Americans come North for better opportunities ("go to Chicago"). There was a lot of production on this song. Bonzo's drums were set up in the entrance hall of this great estate building they were staying in and recording their album from. They had mics placed around and hanging above the drum kit to help get that amazing sound while also feeding it through a Binson Echorec and compressing the final product. Jimmy uses a slide to help give the guitar that stretchy sound and he and Jonesy used a modal structure to give the droning tone. Reverse echo was added to the harmonica and various effects were added to the vocals. If all this weren't enough, the vocals stayed at the same speed, however the instruments were slowed a half step in production to further assist with the sludgy, back water blues style sound. This song is a groove, it's menacing, it hits hard, almost bludgeoning you with intensity while the circular drone carves furrows in your brain. Masterpiece. Their music is seductive...one step too far and you'll be down the rabbit hole - welcome!!
Robert (Percy) Plant plays a pretty mean mouth harp. Also featured on a fantastic 'one take' (18 days total, rehearse/record, mix, done) album called Presence while ole Percy was in a wheelchair from recovery of a near fatal car accident. Also, another awesome video is The Song Remains The Same/ The Rain Song (I believe avail)
Drum beat infamous. Used by Rick Rubin for the Beastie Boys 'Rhymin and Stealin'. But everything about this track is just delicious. Definitely one of my favorites from Led Zeppelin. Thank you for the reaction.
Hi Angela, Thank God this is Phoneworthy! My Favourite Zep track bar none, The musicianship just the whole vibe really, It was recorded at Headley Grange on Surrey/Hampshire border about 10 miles away from me, They used the back staircase to get the echoey drums & like you say the Harmonica is Sublime Cheers Jim, Surrey X
As Many Are Caught Somewhere On That Stairway To Heaven... Heroes Were Built On This Levee of Heavy Blistering Wave- Gravity Seems To Bust At The Seams With Every Heavy Crash... and Those Monsterous Vocals Carry Heavy In The Wind-
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss country Crossroads many years ago they put an album together called, raising sand. Like I said they're on Country Crossroads and you need to see that if you can Google it. They were produced and so was Brandy Carlisle by T Bone Burnett. Anyway Alison Krauss sang with Robert Plant a few Led Zeppelin songs and Robert Plant sing some country flavored songs. It's really good. Speaking of Brandi Carlile check her out listen to her you might be familiar with her I don't know I haven't seen all of your reactions yet. Anyway take care bye
The singer Robert Plant plays the harmonic. Listen to thier cover of "You Shook Me" Robert Plant plays a hell of a mean harmonica. When Zeppelin covers a song they add the thunder and the wild blues of Jimmy Page on guitar and Robert Plant singing and one of the best drummers ever John Bonham adding the thunder with his drums and John Paul Johns keeping the baseline. As a group the were and are true muscians that play across the spectrum of music.
The major chord change and the subsequent riff in this song is the most sublime thing you could listen to in music, actually in any kind of music at any time in history. Although I'm not a huge Zep fan, in my book this masterpiece deserves the top spot in terms of intensity, atmosphere, musicianship and even historical importance.
It was written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The original record is a good country/blues tune for the time but sounds quite a bit different from the Zep version since it was just one vocal and 2 guitars recorded on the primitive equipment of the day. It's on RUclips if you get curious.
It’s true the neon rabbit the original does sound different but just as good in a different way in fact the original if it wasn’t for the original Led Zeppelin we’ve never done this song….. the cover

Robert Plant is the singer, Jimmy Page is the guitar player, John Paul Jones is bass player and John Bonham is the drummer. For me this song seriously rode the groove of Bonham's drumming...R.I.P. Bonzo!
Keep going on with the Zep reactions...many many great songs!
And Robert Plant is also playing a mean ass harmonica to boot! And Page is doing some serious magic in the studio too. Talk about nailing a mood.
This song has that echo/delay going on with Bonham's drums, lotta lore about how it was done JP finally said they used a Binson Echorec.
JPJ is also the keyboardist...mandolin player and anything else needed. Robert plays the harmonica
Bonham's kick drum kicks ass. What a HEAVY beat. Great.
Four of the GREATEST musicians to ever walk the earth... Robert Plant vocals harmonica, Jimmy Page guitar, John Bonham drums and the genius John Paul Jones bass guitar and keyboard.
Imagine sitting around a cable spool table in a dank dark smoky basement listening to this while wearing bell bottom low rise jeans. That was me. 😎😂
Yup
I thought I recognized you! ;)
Just like the Beatles you can't go wrong with this group.
Better than Beatles!

Could not have said it better . & Well done ! Day One ! . . . becoming a Zeppelin fan ? Too late - they already got you :)
Nice reaction...you only have about a hundred more zeppelin tunes to go!
The way you feel after you are one Led Zeppelin song after another and after another the way you feel it takes you to a different place and I think that's what's called getting the Led Out
You know you've made it when you have your own JET !!!
This is the most enigmatic drum track of the century.
Keep the Zeppelin coming lady! You have ventured down the rabbit hole.
John Bonhams drums breathe more life into this tune than any crazy solo's could ever do!
Hi! Anybody listening to Led Zeppelin that has some kind of musical preference, will eventually become a Led Zep fan. Welcome to the family! /Ulf
Another great reaction! Ty for sharing LZ. Hugs. Mark
Robert Plant also plays the harmonica. I listened to the original recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929 and it's quite good.
For DECADES I did not know it was a cover. Credit to Zeppelin for pulling it out of obscurity and polishing it up.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING ME BACK TO MY YOUTH
Angela, having grown up with this music, I really appreciate your reactions. I get to feel the new vibes through you! Thank you for that!
The greatest drumming sound of any track ever, period.
enjoy THAT rabbit hole . welcome to the zeppelin family

Even though a woman named Memphis Minnie wrote the words 100 years ago, musically this is pure Led Zeppelin. Unassailable Zeppelin at their peak.
