In "Led Zeppelin on Led zeppelin" John Paul Jones says they only practiced this song "a couple of times" before that live performance. Let that sink in...
When I first heard this on the radio in 1990 I was blown away. I called the radio station and asked "did you just drop a new Zeppelin song"!!! It was from their not-yet-released box set. The day it was released, I dropped $100 on it just for this song. Yeah, that was a lot of money in '90.
@@SalvoG Yeah they weren’t cheap back then. I always got the album version and there was always a ton to look at though so I’d say they were worth it sometimes.
There may be a song here, and there I am not crazy about. But 99.9 % of it is pure genius! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏! One thing to be remember, there is no real perfection, only practice. This tune is one of their hidden monsters....love their blues the best!
The moment you mentioned the bass over the guitar(which was funky as hell to be fair) I had a wry smile as I knew Jimmy was about to unleash a bluesy flurry on his guitar! Craziest thing about this song was they turned up at the BBC Maida Vales studios to record a session for legendary DJ John Peel's radio show. They did Whole Lotta Love, What Is & What Should Never Be and had to pick a cover. Never played it before, had a couple of run throughs in a soundcheck then recorded all four bandmembers live together. Jimmy immediately improvised a couple of solo's over the playback, overdubbed the best one onto the track and boom...song done...they were that good.
@@markdrechsler5660 It's the way Jimmy usually worked. He liked to record his solos like that generally because he felt he was still in the vibe of the band's performance. Even a solo as iconic as Stairway was done that way. Apparently he improvised three solos (all different) and picked the one he felt was best. His creativity was on another level. There are more technically proficient guitarists but as the man said himself, 'I don't trade in techniques, I trade in emotions'.
I am from the Delta. From Greenwood MS actually. Rosedale is the small town at the intersection of Hwy 1 and 8. Highway 1 is also the great river road since it was closest to the Mississippi River. Some claim that the intersection for Hwy 1 and 8 is the "Crossroads" but that is actually a dirt road intersection outside Dockery Farm farther east on Hwy 8 outside of Cleveland MS.
One of my all time fave tunes from them. Imagine my delight discovering this many years after they recorded it. Such a groove hey? Roberts voice is outta this world! JPJ buttery bass is so cool
I remember downloading everything Led Zep from Napster and stumbled on this song. Damn, it's so good. Made a CD and brought it to Spring Break in Florida around 2004 and a whole new generation was introduced to Led Zep.
Really glad I happened upon your channel and get to watch and listen to you genuinely bug-out to music you’re unfamiliar with and haven’t heard previously.
What's funny to me is that song originally came out in 1937 (like you mentioned) that is crazy, those lyrics are sexually charged especially squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg. As always the band was stellar Jimmy's blues riff is awesome one of my favorite riffs
I remember buying a cassette of bootleg Zep songs many years ago. When I heard this one I was completely blown away! The audio was pretty crappy too LOL.
If Zep had 'just' stuck to the blues, they would have been amazing *but* the band many times stated they changed genres and attempted different styles to ward off boredom.. think about that!
The drums ahh The drums!!! The voice ahh The voice, The guitar ahhh The guitar, the bass ahhh the bass ...perfection!
Quando se trata de lez zeppelin tudo é perfeito, cada um é o melhor no que faz

Actually nuts !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yep! I have that book!
This song actually makes getting the deluxe edition LP absolutely worth while. I play this all the time. Can not get enough of this track 🥰

wow it was $100?

Worth every dollar I’m sure

Robert’s voice, the blues born to go together….add harmonica and that’s the trifecta my friends !!!!!
Soooo good this one...Robert born to sing the blues...The lemon boy haha
Percy!
Mind blowing that this gem was not included in any of their early albums. It would have easily fit right in with any of the first three.
Especially II
Best song on Coda. Best line, “ you got a mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul.”
Robert Plant was 20 here. The rest of them were about the same age. Hard to wrap your mind around how staggering that is.

Exactly this. Shows how much talent these guys had. Combined they were/are unmatched.
Cool story. I don’t think I ever heard about that. I always assumed the overdubbing was done at a later date. 👍

Thanks for reacting. This is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs.
Mine too. It’s pure gold IMO 😃
Good reaction... not over the top and it's NOT the typical "hip hop fan hears Zeppelin for the first time" 🎶✌️💜

Such a groove hey?
Roberts voice is outta this world!
JPJ buttery bass is so cool
I am huge Zeppelin fan and this is my favourite track. It’s cool to go back and listen to the old Robert Johnson version.
This was to show Humble Pie who were the GOATS! Dude he is singing the blues!
Top tune, done at the BBC sessions as I recall....
In 1969 Robert had a much deeper English accent. The accent faded a bit as they toured around the world. ❤
in the bbc session live version of whole lotta love robert sings i got those west bromwhich roots lol
And did more cocaine.......
All I can say is plant head tons of range and vocal abilities when he was young like that
Favorite Zep guitar riff
Another great one!

One of my favorite Zep songs.
You will love The Girl I Love from BBC Sessions.
This Song is F--king AWESOME !!!
Its a 1930's Robert Johnson song which many bands covered back then. Zep took it to another level.
OMG! You’re doing the BBC Sessions! Yeah!
There is the blues, then a whole bunch of other genres! 🤷🏻♂️ I am blues man....PERIOD! 😎
I’ve been loving this song for so long, however only now did I discover how groovy that bass is in here. JPJ is a maestro
wow~outstandin gvideo-work.👐

Wasn't this improvised at the bbc sessions?
He was young then, they all were - just perfect 😎
He was only 20 years old . That’s what you hear in the voice is the raw youth Of his Genius
I really love this song!! Great reaction!
1969 robert's range and power...
Led Zeppelin’s best is the height of Rock N Roll era.
You should listen to the entire BBC Sessions by LZ. Wont regret it.
If you love blues rock please do Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play 1979 Live Video.
Rockpalast esp kicks ass!
Well dun Sal!
John paul has a leash on the bass and hes taking that shit for walk🤣🤘hes so badass
she's my brown sweet sugar plum, she's got a mortgage on my body got a lean on my soul
Robert Johnson wrote those lyrics... the devil whispered them in his ear at the crossroads.😈🎶🎸
Aren't we all looking for a "good rider...'
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM

This song is NOT from CODA!
It was included on the cd edition of coda as bonus tracks, technically you’re correct
Good song but you cannot sqeexe a lemon many times.
Well…depends on your timing…..😏
