Jimmy Page baked so many delicacies into the mix that you are really robbing yourself if you DON'T listen with headphones. Studio wizard -- and great live, too, at least until he drugged himself half dead.
@@abovetheinfluence9361 Yeah some good cans would bring the bass out, you're maybe missing some of the quality, they took at lot of care over the production so good quality headphones is a must. You just gotta explore some Pink Floyd tracks too, 'Dark side of the moon' album is the classic, but it's a full concept which works best in track order, and preferably a full side at a time.
You are so right about the melodic structure in most of Led Zeppelin's music, but then they will throw in the thunder just when you get so into soothing relaxation. Yes please more Zep never enough.
ghadley the contrasting tones in there music from the soothing sounds to the high energy drums/guitar is something unlike no other! More Zep on the way! 😊
Yes! You zoned right into it. The ebb and flow, the movement of this song is spectacular. The rising intensity of Bonham's high hats sliding into Page's unexpected Flamenco riffs is breathtaking. Jones' bass drives the whole piece like a Maserati! Plant's vocals told the story with such passion! IMO, this is a masterpiece in a catalog of iconic bangers. Very nice reaction! ✌️
I was around as a young teen when this stuff started coming out. O. M. G. Our minds were blown. There was soooo much great music coming out of the 70s (and 60s) it was just a way of life hearing all this. But we def appreciated the hell out of it. NOW? with all the pop and auto tune, etc, we really have a bigger appreciation for how licky we were to be a part of this music as it was being made. Rock!
It’s so nice to watch young(compared to me) people enjoying the great music I listened to in my youth. There was so much to choose from, I guess we were spoiled.
Your reaction to this song is so very different from most others I've watched. Your reactions are both thoughtful and intuitive. You have a grasp of the music, the lyrics, and the emotion of this song that many others simply do not. I noticed you are new. Not many vids on your site. I look forward to watching many more if you choose to stick with this. You're very good. Far better than most.
I was in my bedroom. My brother brought the album home and was playing it in the living room, he's 5 years older than me I was 11 he was 16. It was brand new, he played it and we were both hooked.
yes.....having an older brother exposed me to the good stuff ...i would listen to his albums with my friends,,,at 9-10 years old we were sitting around a turntable hearing Zep, Sabbath, Deep Purple,Doors, Hendrix.......over and over we would play them...I remember the day my brother said...."Led Zeppelin has a new album out".. WAIT WHAT ?..and , we never really new they were still recording.!!..we thought( at 9 yrs old) that they were some old 60's band.....we had memorized the first 5 albums,...every note........and then my birthday came and I got "Physical graffiti" a week after it came out .March 2 1975......AND IT WAS A DOUBLE ALBUM...my brother gave it to me....i told my posse I got the new Zep Album and i was having a listening party...my basement had 10 kids ready for me to open the album...i remember my folks,..lol..like "what is he doing??...i cant believe all these kids showed up for some record!"...lol....I guess Dad figured he better go Dad mode, he went and got buckets of KFC and soda pop.lol......I am still friends with two of the kids who attended, they always tell me , whenever they hear a song off of Physical Graffiti , they remember eating Chicken in my folks basement at a listening party....something must of happened, because I went on to a 35 year career in the music industry..lol...I owe it all to "physical Graffiti"

Lol. Do we have more Zeppelin songs? Yes. Yes we do. How about anything by them? You're not going to find many groups that have 9 albums and every song is worth a listen... maybe a few thousand. Since this is the second song off their first album, why not start with the first song on the album? Good Times, Bad Times. Then just work your way through their 1st album and you'll start to see why they call it the "Zeppelin rabbit hole." Welcome to the peak of rock mountain, it's a helluva view. PS Thanks for putting up the artwork of the actual album it was on and not one of their compilation albums, like Mothership.
All these titles like "Good Times, Bad Times" i've heard of in passing because of Bill Burr's "Monday Morning Podcast" but never knew what he was really talking about until now. Lol Adding it to the list as we speak! (type lol) Thanks for watching!
The Song was written by Anne Breton and recorded by folk singer Joan Baez. Jimmy Page heard Joan's version and decided to rework it into this. The album cover picture is of the Hindenburg which exploded in flames, killing all aboard, I believe. Another name for this type of craft is a zeppelin, named after its creator, Ferdinand Con Zeppelin. The Zeppelin family tried to use for using their family name but we're unsuccessful.
Not a problem! I am a HUGE Zeppelin fan, so if I can ever answer any questions, let me know. Always happy to help and I won't steer you wrong as it would be a disservice to the music. 😊
Over 20 million people tried to buy tickets to see Led zeppelin in 2007 with Jason Bonham on drums That is the most requested tickets from 1 band ever Now let that sink in
Heard it first in college SDSU...1981...so I've had a lifetime of Zeppelin, I am happy to report. Everyone should have at least 40 years of Zeppelin before they die.
Definitely one of their best songs. There really is no bad song in their entire catalog. My favorite album is Houses of the Holy, favorite song is Over the Hills and Far Away.
Back in the days when this first came out we didn't have the luxury of headphones....no one I knew had them.....so we would face the speakers to each other and sit on the floor between them. Not as great as headphones but it did the job!
@@xeyex Back then I lived in Downsview but went to parties all over T.O. and the 'burbs. Late 60's, and the 70's were amazing times....especially for music. I can't tell you how many concerts and festivals I went to. I was so fortunate to see so many talented musicians. My kids are still blown away by that....."You really saw Janis Joplin live?" Lol
You have to have headphones when listening to Zeppelin. The way they recorded then you miss so much. Robert Plant is the lead singer. Legends whose footsteps bands today follow. When you listen to these groups from back in the day....you have to understand the times to get the whole picture. It was all new. And explosive time of discovery. Appreciate greatly your reactions. Intelligent and honest. Thank you.
Love how you are able to distinguish the different sounds and the different ways they mix the volumes. One of Zeppelin’s best traits is that they know what instrument and sound needs to be accented at the right moment.
I first heard this in 1975 when a friend bought the album round to my house. I already knew Zeppelin 4 inside and out at that time. Was lucky enough to see them 3 times, twice at Knebworth and then Ahoy stadium Holland, still have the program and ticket stubs. I'm now 59 perhaps I should grow up.
1981, I was 11 when I first really heard Zeppelin. I got this album and Zeppelin 4 for my birthday. I was seriously transported by this band. Along with Tolkien's books, they got me through a rough patch at home. Page was my hero!
Written by Anne Bredon. Covered by Joan Baez. And Page adapted from her version. I don't think it has anything to do with soldiers. Just a ramblin' soul, break up folk song. There were lots of them back then. Hank Williams, Gail Garnett, etc.
Heart did an amazing tribute to Stairway at the Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin event. You should see that if you haven't. Also check out a lot of Heart if you haven't. So good.
Robert Plant was known to put a lot of emotion in his singing and he had the perfect voice for it. Welcome to the musical journey. I get you like you're looking for deep lyrics, interesting music twists and creative writing. Can't wait to see all your reactions. Enjoy the journey. 👍😊❤🤘
When I was growing up,,,Zeppelin was GOD. All their songs are great and unique. Glad you like them. 👍👍👍 I recommend,,,You Shook Me. Same album,,,,VERY bluesy.
Just found your channel, great reaction and comments. I was 15 years old in 1975 when my school friends got me into Led Zeppelin and I’ve loved them since then. Looking forward to more Zepp reactions, best wishes from UK (subbed)
Above The Influence. That’s a difficult one, it all depends what kind of mood I’m in at the time. They had so much diversity in their output over the years, When the Levee Breaks would certainly be in the top 10. (Thanks for the reply by the way)
I saw Led Zeppelin for the first time in 1969 at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA. They did this song during the show and it was fantastic. I saw them again two more times in the early 1970s at the Arizona State University Activities Center in Tempe.
Robert Plant... the Hindenburg was based on a remark that Jeff Beck (the Yardbirds) made to Jimmy Page when Page was leaving the Yardbirds to form his own band. Jeff Beck told Jimmy Page, "Your band will fall like a Led Zeppelin".... hence the band's name, Led Zeppelin!
So many great Zeppelin songs to do. Like you, my first Zeppelin song was Stairway to Heaven, not long after its release, though I was a kid then. In College, I had become a hard rock fan, and was re-introduced to some of their kick-ass songs on their second and fourth albums, like Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, When the Levee Breaks, Misty Mountain Hop. It was in my first semester freshman year (September, 1980) that drummer John Bonham died, leading to the breakup of the band. I heard the song "Dazed and Confused" on the radio and it was then that I knew I was in love with this band and needed to collect all of their albums. Dazed and Confused is on their first album, as is this song, so after purchasing that album, I heard this song in my dorm for the first time.
1st heard this song on the day the album was originally released,, still got the original vinyl, i was lucky enough to see them twice in the uk, 73 and 75, imagine zep playing to a sold out 2000 seat provincial theatre, i grew up in the best decades for music, the 60s and 70s, magic times...
Led Zeppelin does nearly all blues-based songs - they started with interpretations of Black American blues songs, and went on to write their own - they worked in reggae, Indian, folk styles but always with a blues feeling: the man hurt by his woman -- If you haven't heard Dazed and Confused, that's a must-hear -- but many others are great, for instance Ramble On, or You Shook Me -- Robert Plant the singer is half gypsy, the bassist John Paul Jones plays keyboards and is academy-trained -- in a four-man band, everybody must carry their weight, and these guys are all masters. I was about 16 when this first album came out, we were all thirsty for electric blues, and these guys took it to a hard-rock level. The first and big hard rock bands were Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience -- you might try Cream;s Sitting On Top of the World, a smoldering slow blues number, or their biggest hit Sunshine of Your Love - if you can find it, try Manic Depression by Hendrix or else Message to Love. Also, Janis Joplin started with hard rock, try Combination of the Two (fun!) -- and maybe the band Mountain, their song Mississippi Queen for starters - there was a period when that blues-rock style took off - we'd never heard anything like it before
Zeppelin are my favourite band and I've heard each of their songs literally hundreds of times....I still get goosebumps every time I hear Robert Plants voice...🤗
First visit. This is my favorite Zeppelin song! Checked out your selection of Reaction and totally dig it. Love the respect you show! Just Sub’d! Highly recommend “When the levee breaks” and earphones.
The Band Led Zepplin consists of, Robert Plant, Lead singer, and Master Harmonica player! Jimmy Page, Legendary Guitarist🎸! John Paul Jones, Bassest, and Master Keyboardist! And, on occasion, Mandolin! And Last but certainly not least The Late, Great Drummer John Bonham!! And According to an interview Plant did back in 1982, this is Zepplin's cover of an old Joan Biaz song from the Early 60's loosely based on a Soldier based over Seas, Falls in love, then is called away for active duty! And is AGONIZING over having to leave his lady!
Thank you sir. Great reaction to this song. I was 15 when this came out. I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and there was a music store next door. I couldn't wait to get my paycheck that week, so I could go next door and purchase that album. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I would sit for hours listening to them, analyzing every sound. Watching you react, reminded me of the joy that album brought me back then.
Whoever turned you onto this has good taste in music. This is my favourite Led Zeppelin song. The Associations first recorded it, and would you believe, Joan Baez did wailing folk version. Legendary Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant, however, blues-ified the song and together with drummer John Bonham (RIP) and bassist John Paul Jones, took it to another level.
@@abovetheinfluence9361 .. great reaction too. Next in line, before moving to other aspects of this great band, is probably: The Lemon Song! ruclips.net/video/Zyhu2ysqKGk/видео.html
I read a story that the members of Led Zeppelin, early in their career, met with the aristocratic female heir of the Zeppelin name in order to come to some sort of understanding since she had objected to their use of the family name. Jimmy Page, the guitarist handed her a complementary copy of the album you have up there. She didn't appreciate the photo of the burning craft and went berserk. Anyway, it did not go over well.
I was a big fan of zeppelin, but a friend of mine told me about this one when we were going to a party one night. great song. my definitive list. trust me, you will really like these: stairway, fool in the rain, dy'er maker, over the hills and far away, all of my love ,whole lotta love, rock and roll, the ocean, thank you. A lot of other people on this channel picked a lot of bluesy stuff and some their unusual artsy stuff, but I like the melody driven songs they put out a lot more. I like to studio versions first, then live later.
Envious, Enjoy the Journey....... "Daze & Confused" "When the Levee Breaks" "You Shook Me" "The Immigrant Song" "Kashmir" & so on........... Peace Out.....& Rock On Beyond
Most of Zeppelins songs did not play as singles on AM radio. So I remember listening in my bedroom after I bought the LP. Later I got a stereo FM radio and all was great...!
"BABE I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU" is a song about a man with a wandering soul that's torn between leaving and staying with the women he loves. It's not a break-up song. The lead singer's name is Robert Plant. The first time I ever heard this song I was 17 years old, and I'm 67 now and it still sounds great after all these years. The song is from Led Zeppelin's debut L.P from 1969 watch was heavily blues-influenced. Most of the songs are old blues songs from the '30s, '40s, & rom'50s. Thank you for putting the music that I grow-up listening to out there. If I may suggest, check out "Pink Floyd" song (Time) from the L.P "Dark Side Of The Moon". P.S and headphones are a must. ENJOY.
Supposedly, this was a guy being shipped off to Vietnam. He had to leave her, but didn’t want to. Toward the end of the song, he was dreaming of when he returned to her. “Walking through the park every day, come what may”. Who knows, right?
Yes, the Hindenburg was a Zeppelin. A rigid Airship with an aluminum frame covered with a fabric, then varnished. The lift was from huge bags of hydrogen inside the frame. The passenger cabins were also inside the frame, with viewing ports on the lower side. The Zeppelin was operated from a gondola underneath.
The only live stuff that sounds great is from The Song Remains the Same, which was brought into the studio and tweaked until near flawless, so it sounds so good. Led Zeppelin is the best, but live, not so much.
Lead singer is Robert Plant, he has another band now, still going strong at 71 years old. When the band became popular, they made a pact that if one left the band or passed away, they would stop performing, when the Drummer, John Bonham (perhaps the best there ever has been), died at age 32 when he choked to death on his own vomit while asleep. But, they did get together one more concert, the drummer was John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham played the drums for the final short tour.
Where was I at when I first heard it? I was like 10 years old when my older cousin Victor was excited about this new band then he put on the album. It has been my favorite band ever since.
Fyi this is a folk song written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950's. It was recorded by the folk singer Joan Baez and appeared on an album she released in 1962, as well as being performed by other artists in a variety of different styles. In the late eighties Anne Bredon became aware of the Led Zeppelin version, and since 1990 she has received a substantial backlog of royalties.
that album was made to play through continuous back in the late sixties when fm came into play so radio stations would play a great deal of it...the album is a work of art for its time.
it was written by anne bredon, later recorded by joan baez, who by that time didn't know who had written it & credited as a traditional. zeppelin also thought it was a traditional & added their own spin to it. the spanish guitar (flamenco) touches show the influence of the moors who had invaded spain.
Oh my goodness you have the best hair! I think with Zeppelin if you stick with the 1973 live concert it has a lot of songs to choose or mothership album they should go through. Unfortunately RUclips blocks a ton of stuff by them. Good luck with your channel.
Lol thank you so much! Gotta keep the locs flowing as much as possible! 😊I definitely want to get into more live music from them and yea RUclips can be strict with Zeppelin especially for some reason. But even if up for a little while im going to make sure to keep the reactions coming for you all! Thank so much for watching! 🙏🏾
Anne Bredon wrote this song in the late 50s. Joan Baez recorded it in '62. The vocalist is Robert Plant. He was 19 when they recorded this album. I was 8 when this came out so I was introduced to this about '74 after I had heard Stairway (Zep 4)
Definitely check out When The Levee Breaks, You Shook Me, Stairway To Heaven, Dazed and Confused...heavy old old old blues influence and covers. These songs are great!
This song has as its main feature the idea of the Rambling Man. He's a figure from the folklore of the British Isles, the man who cannot stay, who is called by life to keep wandering always. Plant and Page were and are very deeply versed in the folklore of their country, and those ideas and images are all over their music. Plant is also a huge Ringer, so the influence of LOTR and Tolkien's stories crop up over and over in Zep's music, as well. You'll hear it most clearly on "Ramble On" and "Battle of Evermore", where he actually mentions characters from LOTR. (Oh, and _most_ of Robert's lyrics on the early albums are basically whining about how badly some woman is treating him. It took a couple of albums before he found something deeper or more complex to write about.)
The album cover is the famous image of the Hindenburg, a hydrogen filled dirigible airship from the 1930's. It was built by the Zeppelin company. The band members were - Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Bonham (drums), John Paul Jones (bass)
First time I heard this was finding an old album of my stepmom's in 1978-79... I had heard some Led Zep before, but this was the first full album of theirs I had listened to top to bottom. Been a fan ever since! Other song suggestions - "Tom Sawyer" - Rush; "Couldn't Stand The Weather" - Stevie Ray Vaughn; "The Great Gig In The Sky" - Pink Floyd; "Something" - Snarky Puppy/Lalah Hathaway
It was originally written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950s. Joan Baez recorded a solo version for her 1962 album and that is the version most others base their version on.
What made Zeppelin great was the fact they took influences from “every” music genre! As most British rock bands from the 60’s & 70’s did-they we’re heavily influenced by the (delta) blues music of the south but borrowed from everything!
my mom bought me this album for my birthday when i was 7 years old....heard it the first time when my older sister had friends over to "Hangout"..lol but my mother liked all kinds of music and got it for me anyway. lol
My friend's basement where her older brother who listened Only to Zeppelin for a long time. I was on Long Island, off the boat from Europe. Zeppelin is yummy. I love your passion and knowledge. Thanks for engaging, hard times,
Every member of this band was a freak of nature. Every member absolutely as good as it gets.
The greatest rock lead guitarist. The greatest rock voice. The greatest drummer, The most creative bass player and arranger. All equal masters.
I recommend wearing headphones when you listen to Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Page baked so many delicacies into the mix that you are really robbing yourself if you DON'T listen with headphones. Studio wizard -- and great live, too, at least until he drugged himself half dead.
I have too much hair... lol they kinda block the wireless earbuds but I do want bigger headphones tho! lol
I recommend warning the neighbours for about half a mile ;) !

@@xeyex Back then I lived in Downsview but went to parties all over T.O. and the 'burbs. Late 60's, and the 70's were amazing times....especially for music. I can't tell you how many concerts and festivals I went to. I was so fortunate to see so many talented musicians. My kids are still blown away by that....."You really saw Janis Joplin live?" Lol
Legend band :) so many beautiful songs, a true classic. Thank you for the reaction.
You have to have headphones when listening to Zeppelin. The way they recorded then you miss so much. Robert Plant is the lead singer. Legends whose footsteps bands today follow. When you listen to these groups from back in the day....you have to understand the times to get the whole picture. It was all new. And explosive time of discovery. Appreciate greatly your reactions. Intelligent and honest. Thank you.
Love how you are able to distinguish the different sounds and the different ways they mix the volumes. One of Zeppelin’s best traits is that they know what instrument and sound needs to be accented at the right moment.
I first heard this in 1975 when a friend bought the album round to my house. I already knew Zeppelin 4 inside and out at that time. Was lucky enough to see them 3 times, twice at Knebworth and then Ahoy stadium Holland, still have the program and ticket stubs. I'm now 59 perhaps I should grow up.
Nope
1981, I was 11 when I first really heard Zeppelin. I got this album and Zeppelin 4 for my birthday. I was seriously transported by this band. Along with Tolkien's books, they got me through a rough patch at home. Page was my hero!
Glad you got through the rough times. Zep is my favorite blues band. A wise man once said, "The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad."
I believe this song is about a soldier having to leave for war. Vocals-Robert Plant. Guitar-jimmy Page
Bass-Johm Paul Jones, Drums-
Written by Anne Bredon. Covered by Joan Baez. And Page adapted from her version. I don't think it has anything to do with soldiers. Just a ramblin' soul, break up folk song. There were lots of them back then. Hank Williams, Gail Garnett, etc.
Excellent choice to start off with.
Patrick Seevers appreciate it and definitely is an amazing song! 🔥
Heart did an amazing tribute to Stairway at the Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin event. You should see that if you haven't. Also check out a lot of Heart if you haven't. So good.
Robert Plant was known to put a lot of emotion in his singing and he had the perfect voice for it. Welcome to the musical journey. I get you like you're looking for deep lyrics, interesting music twists and creative writing. Can't wait to see all your reactions. Enjoy the journey. 👍😊❤🤘
I love FOOL IN THE RAIN & CASHMERE! Two of my favorite LZ songs.👍🏾 A brother here always bumping Led Zep!💪🏾
When I was growing up,,,Zeppelin was GOD. All their songs are great and unique. Glad you like them. 👍👍👍
I recommend,,,You Shook Me. Same album,,,,VERY bluesy.
Starting with Led Zeppelin's first album, you can trace the progression of the music through the years.
Vocals, Robert Plant, Guitar, Jimmy Page, Bass Guitar, John Paul Jones, and Drums, John Bonham! The Gods!
Just found your channel, great reaction and comments. I was 15 years old in 1975 when my school friends got me into Led Zeppelin and I’ve loved them since then. Looking forward to more Zepp reactions, best wishes from UK (subbed)
svac01 life long Zepp fan I see! What’s your favorite song from them? I truly appreciate the words and thanks for watching! 🙏🏾
Above The Influence. That’s a difficult one, it all depends what kind of mood I’m in at the time. They had so much diversity in their output over the years, When the Levee Breaks would certainly be in the top 10. (Thanks for the reply by the way)
@@Young_Jim "When The Levee Breaks" seems to be very popular... gotta add that one! And I thank you for your reply as well!
I saw Led Zeppelin for the first time in 1969 at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA. They did this song during the show and it was fantastic. I saw them again two more times in the early 1970s at the Arizona State University Activities Center in Tempe.
Robert Plant... the Hindenburg was based on a remark that Jeff Beck (the Yardbirds) made to Jimmy Page when Page was leaving the Yardbirds to form his own band. Jeff Beck told Jimmy Page, "Your band will fall like a Led Zeppelin".... hence the band's name, Led Zeppelin!
So many great Zeppelin songs to do. Like you, my first Zeppelin song was Stairway to Heaven, not long after its release, though I was a kid then. In College, I had become a hard rock fan, and was re-introduced to some of their kick-ass songs on their second and fourth albums, like Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, When the Levee Breaks, Misty Mountain Hop. It was in my first semester freshman year (September, 1980) that drummer John Bonham died, leading to the breakup of the band. I heard the song "Dazed and Confused" on the radio and it was then that I knew I was in love with this band and needed to collect all of their albums. Dazed and Confused is on their first album, as is this song, so after purchasing that album, I heard this song in my dorm for the first time.
No one ever does who's not familiar with the Great Rock & Prog bands of the late 1960s & 70s, I've heard this for 50 years !! Glad you found it !! : D
1st heard this song on the day the album was originally released,, still got the original vinyl, i was lucky enough to see them twice in the uk, 73 and 75, imagine zep playing to a sold out 2000 seat provincial theatre, i grew up in the best decades for music, the 60s and 70s, magic times...
Headphones are a must! Even earbuds from a cell phone would be better. You’re missing out on half the experience. ❤️❤️❤️
Led Zeppelin does nearly all blues-based songs - they started with interpretations of Black American blues songs, and went on to write their own - they worked in reggae, Indian, folk styles but always with a blues feeling: the man hurt by his woman -- If you haven't heard Dazed and Confused, that's a must-hear -- but many others are great, for instance Ramble On, or You Shook Me -- Robert Plant the singer is half gypsy, the bassist John Paul Jones plays keyboards and is academy-trained -- in a four-man band, everybody must carry their weight, and these guys are all masters. I was about 16 when this first album came out, we were all thirsty for electric blues, and these guys took it to a hard-rock level. The first and big hard rock bands were Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience -- you might try Cream;s Sitting On Top of the World, a smoldering slow blues number, or their biggest hit Sunshine of Your Love - if you can find it, try Manic Depression by Hendrix or else Message to Love. Also, Janis Joplin started with hard rock, try Combination of the Two (fun!) -- and maybe the band Mountain, their song Mississippi Queen for starters - there was a period when that blues-rock style took off - we'd never heard anything like it before
Zeppelin are my favourite band and I've heard each of their songs literally hundreds of times....I still get goosebumps every time I hear Robert Plants voice...🤗
First visit. This is my favorite Zeppelin song! Checked out your selection of Reaction and totally dig it. Love the respect you show! Just Sub’d!
Highly recommend “When the levee breaks” and earphones.
The Band Led Zepplin consists of, Robert Plant, Lead singer, and Master Harmonica player! Jimmy Page, Legendary Guitarist🎸! John Paul Jones, Bassest, and Master Keyboardist! And, on occasion, Mandolin! And Last but certainly not least The Late, Great Drummer John Bonham!! And According to an interview Plant did back in 1982, this is Zepplin's cover of an old Joan Biaz song from the Early 60's loosely based on a Soldier based over Seas, Falls in love, then is called away for active duty! And is AGONIZING over having to leave his lady!
Back in the 60s you had to be on your game so many great 👍 bands I know 68yrs old
Thank you sir. Great reaction to this song. I was 15 when this came out. I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and there was a music store next door. I couldn't wait to get my paycheck that week, so I could go next door and purchase that album. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I would sit for hours listening to them, analyzing every sound. Watching you react, reminded me of the joy that album brought me back then.
Whoever turned you onto this has good taste in music. This is my favourite Led Zeppelin song. The Associations first recorded it, and would you believe, Joan Baez did wailing folk version. Legendary Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant, however, blues-ified the song and together with drummer John Bonham (RIP) and bassist John Paul Jones, took it to another level.
Next should be "Dazed and Confused"
@@abovetheinfluence9361 live from Madison Square Garden...OMG!!
Just make sure it's the studio version. That's absolutely essential.
mviroli just reacted to it! 😊 Thanks for the recommendation! ruclips.net/video/11nY-9LFZAo/видео.html
Jake Holmes's song. Don't forget Jake.
@@abovetheinfluence9361 .. great reaction too. Next in line, before moving to other aspects of this great band, is probably: The Lemon Song! ruclips.net/video/Zyhu2ysqKGk/видео.html
I read a story that the members of Led Zeppelin, early in their career, met with the aristocratic female heir of the Zeppelin name in order to come to some sort of understanding since she had objected to their use of the family name. Jimmy Page, the guitarist handed her a complementary copy of the album you have up there. She didn't appreciate the photo of the burning craft and went berserk. Anyway, it did not go over well.
I was a big fan of zeppelin, but a friend of mine told me about this one when we were going to a party one night. great song. my definitive list. trust me, you will really like these: stairway, fool in the rain, dy'er maker, over the hills and far away, all of my love ,whole lotta love, rock and roll, the ocean, thank you. A lot of other people on this channel picked a lot of bluesy stuff and some their unusual artsy stuff, but I like the melody driven songs they put out a lot more. I like to studio versions first, then live later.
My brothers had Led Zeppelin 4 when it first came out! I didn't hear this album entirely until I was in high school in the 80s thankyou
First time I heard this, I was doin' time in SoCal in the late '70s. It's my favorite Led Zep song.
Yes this song I play all the time. Never gets old. But neither does Going to California. I think you'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Envious, Enjoy the Journey....... "Daze & Confused" "When the Levee Breaks" "You Shook Me" "The Immigrant Song" "Kashmir" & so on...........
Peace Out.....& Rock On Beyond
Most of Zeppelins songs did not play as singles on AM radio. So I remember listening in my bedroom after I bought the LP. Later I got a stereo FM radio and all was great...!
Had this blasting for my son's to grow up on..They thank me alot for these lessons of love
"BABE I’M GONNA LEAVE YOU" is a song about a man with a wandering soul that's torn between leaving and staying with the women he loves. It's not a break-up song. The lead singer's name is Robert Plant. The first time I ever heard this song I was 17 years old, and I'm 67 now and it still sounds great after all these years. The song is from Led Zeppelin's debut L.P from 1969 watch was heavily blues-influenced. Most of the songs are old blues songs from the '30s, '40s, & rom'50s. Thank you for putting the music that I grow-up listening to out there. If I may suggest, check out "Pink Floyd" song (Time) from the L.P "Dark Side Of The Moon". P.S and headphones are a must. ENJOY.
Ten years gone!!!
One of their best, really a must hear.
Peace ✌🏼
Love your reactions because they are so thoughtful. Also appreciate that you listen to and consider the lyrics.
Since I've been loving you, it's one of their greatest
Supposedly, this was a guy being shipped off to Vietnam. He had to leave her, but didn’t want to. Toward the end of the song, he was dreaming of when he returned to her. “Walking through the park every day, come what may”. Who knows, right?
Yes, the Hindenburg was a Zeppelin. A rigid Airship with an aluminum frame covered with a fabric, then varnished. The lift was from huge bags of hydrogen inside the frame. The passenger cabins were also inside the frame, with viewing ports on the lower side. The Zeppelin was operated from a gondola underneath.
You nailed it. great reaction!
Anita Paulus thank you so much! 😊
Above The Influence My pleasure!
Gotta love them...they are the best! Please do their live stuff!! Amazing!
The only live stuff that sounds great is from The Song Remains the Same, which was brought into the studio and tweaked until near flawless, so it sounds so good. Led Zeppelin is the best, but live, not so much.
Lead singer is Robert Plant, he has another band now, still going strong at 71 years old. When the band became popular, they made a pact that if one left the band or passed away, they would stop performing, when the Drummer, John Bonham (perhaps the best there ever has been), died at age 32 when he choked to death on his own vomit while asleep. But, they did get together one more concert, the drummer was John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham played the drums for the final short tour.
If you want another song that’s kinda similar to this then you’ll like Ten Years Gone by them
Where was I at when I first heard it? I was like 10 years old when my older cousin Victor was excited about this new band then he put on the album. It has been my favorite band ever since.
Fyi this is a folk song written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950's. It was recorded by the folk singer Joan Baez and appeared on an album she released in 1962, as well as being performed by other artists in a variety of different styles. In the late eighties Anne Bredon became aware of the Led Zeppelin version, and since 1990 she has received a substantial backlog of royalties.
that album was made to play through continuous back in the late sixties when fm came into play so radio stations would play a great deal of it...the album is a work of art for its time.
it was written by anne bredon, later recorded by joan baez, who by that time didn't know who had written it & credited as a traditional. zeppelin also thought it was a traditional & added their own spin to it. the spanish guitar (flamenco) touches show the influence of the moors who had invaded spain.
Oh my goodness you have the best hair! I think with Zeppelin if you stick with the 1973 live concert it has a lot of songs to choose or mothership album they should go through. Unfortunately RUclips blocks a ton of stuff by them. Good luck with your channel.
Lol thank you so much! Gotta keep the locs flowing as much as possible! 😊I definitely want to get into more live music from them and yea RUclips can be strict with Zeppelin especially for some reason. But even if up for a little while im going to make sure to keep the reactions coming for you all! Thank so much for watching! 🙏🏾
Anne Bredon wrote this song in the late 50s. Joan Baez recorded it in '62. The vocalist is Robert Plant. He was 19 when they recorded this album. I was 8 when this came out so I was introduced to this about '74 after I had heard Stairway (Zep 4)
Ten Years Gone, enough said!
Definitely check out When The Levee Breaks, You Shook Me, Stairway To Heaven, Dazed and Confused...heavy old old old blues influence and covers. These songs are great!
This song has as its main feature the idea of the Rambling Man. He's a figure from the folklore of the British Isles, the man who cannot stay, who is called by life to keep wandering always. Plant and Page were and are very deeply versed in the folklore of their country, and those ideas and images are all over their music. Plant is also a huge Ringer, so the influence of LOTR and Tolkien's stories crop up over and over in Zep's music, as well. You'll hear it most clearly on "Ramble On" and "Battle of Evermore", where he actually mentions characters from LOTR. (Oh, and _most_ of Robert's lyrics on the early albums are basically whining about how badly some woman is treating him. It took a couple of albums before he found something deeper or more complex to write about.)
Lead singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham were just 20 years old when they laid down these tracks.
1970 In junior high school. You did an awesome review keep up the great work. In January I turn 62 years old
Yes, the airship (zeppelin), on the cover, is from the 1937 German zeppelin "Hindenburg" accident, in New Jersey.
Do Since I've been loving you. Blues on steroids!
Awesome analysis of one of my fave tunes. Good work : )
Yes that was a beautiful song. Led 1. I was starting high school when this came out.
First time I heard this track was when I bought the album in 1970. Played it a lot. Still do.
The album cover is the famous image of the Hindenburg, a hydrogen filled dirigible airship from the 1930's. It was built by the Zeppelin company. The band members were - Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Bonham (drums), John Paul Jones (bass)
First time I heard this was finding an old album of my stepmom's in 1978-79... I had heard some Led Zep before, but this was the first full album of theirs I had listened to top to bottom. Been a fan ever since!
Other song suggestions - "Tom Sawyer" - Rush; "Couldn't Stand The Weather" - Stevie Ray Vaughn; "The Great Gig In The Sky" - Pink Floyd; "Something" - Snarky Puppy/Lalah Hathaway
It was originally written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950s. Joan Baez recorded a solo version for her 1962 album and that is the version most others base their version on.
Since iv been loving you is my favorite song by zep. Fantastic blues song
What made Zeppelin great was the fact they took influences from “every” music genre! As most British rock bands from the 60’s & 70’s did-they we’re heavily influenced by the (delta) blues music of the south but borrowed from everything!
You got the emotion of the song. . . Like that you appreciate the musicality
In My Time of Dying... It will blow your mind.. great reactions...
Livin' it, Lovin' it... Thanks for keeping it real..
my mom bought me this album for my birthday when i was 7 years old....heard it the first time when my older sister had friends over to "Hangout"..lol but my mother liked all kinds of music and got it for me anyway. lol
My friend's basement where her older brother who listened Only to Zeppelin for a long time. I was on Long Island, off the boat from Europe. Zeppelin is yummy. I love your passion and knowledge. Thanks for engaging, hard times,
Kashmir....in my time of dying.... stairway to heaven...I'm gonna crawl... Led Zeppelin
