Just a song about a young man taking his Dog for a walk. Such is life.
You no better
❤ Strider !!
And the bounce imitates the playful bow of a dog ready to play
Love that it was his black dog named strider. Best love song ever.
@@johnwilles4636 Strider was a Blue Eyed Merle similar to a collie and he was'nt black.
As others have said, Robert wrote this about his beloved dog, Strider. In concert, at the end of the song Robert would call out "Strider!!", as if calling him to come. That always touched my heart just as some lines of the song do....
"When you're old & your eyes are dim, ain't no 'Old Shep' gonna happen again.
We'll still go walking down country lanes, sing the same old songs, hear me call your name..."
For anyone who's ever loved & then lost a beloved canine companion, it brings a tear to the eye every time.
💙🐕💙☮💙
Oh, and there are a couple of wonderful pics of Robert & Strider out there if you do a quick little search.💙🌿
Thank you Deborah, I had never thought to look for pictures of Strider. What a cute pup!
And in classic Zep fashion, his dog is named after a LotR character.
The skill and technique are front n center. My favorite of theirs.
Zep was never afraid to take chances. Just when you think that you had them pegged, they came out with a song like this. A man and his dog!
Another good reaction guys. This song was about plants dog, stryder. You hear him say "ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle!" Just a damn good song.
Plant's love song to his dog Stryder, who was a constant companion at the vacation cottage in Wales where he and Page worked out all this acoustic magic.
Also the only Zep number to feature Bonham on castanets.
As to the variety of styles found on this record and others, Robert Plant later made the comment that they already made Whole Lotta Love, and didn't need to make another.
Yep, he’s the blue-eyed Merle.
This song is about Robert Plant's dog, Strider. A blue-eyed Merle is a type of Collie.
I think this is their most diverse album, for sure. Like Elvis, these guys could just float from one genre to another and master them all. 🤘🏻 Thanks for keeping these legends alive for younger generations to experience.
STRIDER!!! Can't make a more a pure song 🎶🎶🎶
Zeppelin was 'unplugged" way before anyone used that term to describe a performance.
This live 1975 is unbelievable!! Bonham sings harmony in it! Yes country! They did it all as you will see as you go on!
The story of Led Zeppelin’s transformation into the greatest band of all time is simple
Led Zeppelin - blues and jazz fusion rock band
Led Zeppelin II- honing their skills with groove, funk and mythology
Led Zeppelin III- adding a dash of acoustic folk/country world music
Led Zeppelin IV - harnessing the power of the gods combining all genres
Houses of the Holy - becoming gods
Physical Graffiti- continuing to inspire the world with divine powers
Presence - back to the basics
In Through the Outdoor - the celebration of their triumphs
Coda - one last glance at the past
NICE!! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN
They just don't have a bad song in their catalog. Incredible.
A love song for man’s best friend
This song beat just makes you feel good and want to move! I’m from Tennessee and I feel like we’re at a get together!
It's a bluegrass hoedown! I love walking my airedale terrier, Rufus, to this song.
Bron-Yr-Aur was the name of the cottage which Robert Plant and his family would go to when he was little. His family lived in England, but they'd vacation in Wales. Well, after non-stop touring from the summer of 1968 to 1970 -- Robert and Jimmy decided to visit this cottage.
In the morning, when the sun came up -- the sun would appear between two hills which were a bit of a distance apart.
So, Bron-Yr-Aur means "breast of gold" or "golden breast" --- it's Welsh Gaelic language. So, the two hill looked like two breasts and the sun coming -- made it look golden to viewing it.
Live in 1971 and 1972 and at Earl's Court in May of 1975 --- Bonzo would sing the verses along with Robert Plant -- simultaneously -- live when they did the song.
On their 1977 tour, Jimmy would sing the verses along with Robert Plant. Cool stuff.
Jimmy would also use the song to highlight his playing skills on the six string acoustic -- in the middle of the song.
If you listen again, you'll hear the bass sounds very nature and organic --- John Paul Jones plays an upright double bass (the orchestral bass) with his fingers. This is definitely country blues -- you guys nailed it there. It even sounds a bit like skiffle music -- a quick folky style popular in the UK in the late 1950s.
There's even a video on RUclips of Jimmy Page when he was 13 yrs old playing a skiffle song - he and his friends wrote. Then they play a 2nd song which was a Huddie Lead Belly Ledbetter song from the old blues called "Cotton Fields."
There's decent live versions (audio only) of this song from 1971/72 and you hear Bonzo singing along w Robert. There's great pro shot video of Bonzo and Robert singing this together -- filmed on May 24 and 25, 1975 and at the end Bonzo is singing and playing spoons, while kicking the bass drum and hi-hat to the beat.
There's lots of high quality bootleg audio of this song from Led Zeppelin's mammoth 1977 US Tour and as I mentioned -- Jimmy was singing the verses along with Plant.
Still enjoy watching you guys trade thoughts on Led Zeppelin. They were so versatile and refused to make hit #2, #3, #4 of rehashed versions of old hits.
They loved all music, as the best of the best musicians do. They always wanted to evolve and delve into new music.
As an example, John Bonham would beat the drums like they said something bad about his mom, but he loved listening to acoustic music too -- when he was off stage. One of his favorite albums was "Court and Spark" by Joni Mitchell. John's sister, Deborah, who is still with us -- told of his love of this album. He liked Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and a lot their music is acoustic guitar based.
One reason this was acoustic was they got away to a cottage in Wales with no electricity. This is where most of this album if not all was done. Then they went into the studio and recorded it.
One of my favourites. Robert singing about his dog!
Love song to a dog! Love my canines and this song makes me hug my rescue pup tight
These Brits loved the American blues and country music. Those influences are everywhere. Even the covers they selected.
Fashion, Love Shadow
On the original LP Album, the Circles on the cover have the Bands Faces in them, you could spin the wheel on the Right Side, and the faces would change to different items.... Led Zep albums all had a Gimmick. In-Through the Outdoor has water color paints on the inside album sleeve, but you only found out when spilling a beer on it. One other note: Robert Plant was heavily influenced by LORD of the RINGS, as heard in many tunes.
I have one 👊
I still have all of my Zep vinyls
Keep going through the Led Zeppelin catalog in the order they released them, you will be satisfied 👍
Anxious to see you react to Zeppelin IV,it's a different style !!💯😎👍👍👍
It's about the dog of Robert Plant"strider"( Aragorn) Reference to lord of the rings !! love that stomp rhythm!! On stage It's great To see them in their acoustic jam!
Appreciate your reaction !
La makes a good point about how they, much like us, are hearing this for the first time and only have ‘I’ and ‘II’ as their frame of reference. The relaxed approach and lighter, acoustic touch confused critics (who didn’t like Zeppelin in the first place) but also threw fans for a loop.
I can't wait until you get to Hats off to Roy Harper on this album! Love your Reviews! Emily is my wife! We know our ROCK!
Another note on John Bonham, an addition to my other comment - John Paul Jones said in an interview about 23 or so yrs that Bonzo knew all the lyrics to the AA RnB group called "The Stylistics" --- JPJ said John would be back stage, on the plane or in the limo, wherever and he'd be singing whole songs of theirs, as he loved their music and loved singing. This was a reference to the fact that Bonzo listened to everything that was going on in their songs -- even the lyrics. LZ just loved music - in general- all of it.
Robert had on his social media page back in 2008 "Currently listening to the new Black Eyed Peas album." I'll never forget seeing that and was not surprised at all. Me and my girl at the time were also listening to the new BEP's album too. 🙂
This is my favorite one and i have the collection ❤
When they did this song on tour as part of their acoustic set, Plant would yell "Stryder!" as the song ended. The song was about his dog Stryder. "Ain't no companion like a 'Blue eyed Merle'. That's a reference to the breed.
Am really enjoying your deep dive into Led Zeppelin's catalogue, gems everywhere
American country music actually comes from the folk tunes of Scotland and England like this style.
Zep recorded this classic differently than the first two -- they had an old cottage in Wales (called "Bron-y-aur") where they all lived together away from the people and noise. The resulting album is a wonderful reflection of that mood...
They were at Bron-Y-Aur writing this album with no electricity, so the acoustic makes a bit more sense. The untitled album IV was a bug f*ck you to the music critics who decided Zeppelin wasn’t a rock group after hearing this album. The first and second songs on album IV “Black Dog” and “Rock and Roll” blew that criticism out of the water.
Then came #4 & physical graffiti. Showed them
@@michaeldrena2775 So true!
Favorite song from this album.
Thanks for the video guys.
Im not from the time these guys "reigned" (born in 76), so the order i listened to em wasnt 1,2,3,4... I listened in the order my brother came with the albums he bought, than i started to buy the albums that i could get with good prices... Since the first two albums my big bro brought home were Physical Graffiti and Led 1, i was already familiar with their acoustic side and i absolutely loved this album from start to finish... It was the very first cd i ever bought. And since we had the CD player in our bedroom we could listen every time we wanted in there... The other albums were LPs so we had to wait for our turn in the family to listen to em ... After a while we got a LP player in our bedroom too and then It was happy times all the time... Lol
so this became my second favorite Zep álbum... And these three albums are till this day my favorite from them
Peace and Slayeeeer 🤘🤘🤘
Stryder!!!!
First - I can't wait for you guys to work through the next three albums which include so many all-time classics. As you mention here and on other songs from this album, it's heavy on the acoustic/folk influence, and a bit of acoustic "sitting on the porch" blues. It's worth recalling that most of the British groups from the 50s, 60s and early 70s were deeply influenced by an older generation of African-American Blues players. In Jimmy Page's case, specifically, from a very early age - like 12 years old - he was interested in acoustic folk playing and the blues sounds of Elmore James, B.B. King, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, and Hubert Sumlin. Don't worry about what you're referring to as the 'country' type sound though. As you progress to the next albums, while there may be a few of the acoustics songs, the hard and heavy, ripping blues-rock comes back as the main focus. Love seeing these reactions, gentlemen. Keep up the great work!
They wrote the bulk of this album at a place called Bron Y Aur, as most people know, but the location really contributed to the feel of the album, which was mostly acoustic. People freaked out about that.
Finally a reaction to *Bron-Y-Aur Stomp* Thanks guys! Their other fun catchy tune would be *Boogie with Stu*
Robert singing a song to his dog Strider!!🐕🎶💜
Bron-Yr-Aur (misspelled as "Bron-Y-Aur) is pronounced like "Bron-er-ire" and is a Welsh word that means "golden hills" or "golden breast". Yes, it's true that you're living through your first listening experience with this album, however, you have the benefit of knowledgeable fans to help guide your journey, which is something we didn't have so I hope you're listening/reading because it's definitely valuable. In my opinion, good comments provide perspective and clarity without telling you how you should feel about the song - that part is up to you. Open your mind, heart, and soul to the experience and rest safely in the knowledge that everything is just fine.
The live version from Earl's Court in '75 of this song is amazing! Watch that one and you'll definitely catch on.
Zeppelin III can take some listens to get into. I have vivid memories listening to it over and over with my best bud.
When I was in my youth” and I got Led Zeppelin one then Led Zeppelin II” then-Led Zeppelin three” I tell you right now I wasn’t mad
The live version of this song at Earl's Court London in 1975 is also really good..
You guys do the best Zep reactions.
Led Zeppelin III was such a change from their first two albums. Most people didn't like it. It is my favorite album.
Don't worry guys the Heavy Zep is coming soon.
This guitar line is awesome, in open F tuning. Shutupandplay has it.
The title is in reference to the name of a cottage in Wales that Page and Plant rented and wrote some songs. I believe it is mostly about Plant’s dog who was a Blue Eyed Merle type
Zeppified Country makes it quite different than Country & Western. In the very best way. No trucks, guns, cheatin’ hearts, or saloons.
Love this tune...such a great feeling to it. 😛👍
Getting the Led out with one of my personal favorites. Great choice.
Us drummers love odd time and a new sound to translate into our own style.
Thanks!
Love your reaction guys!
My favorite song off this album.
Exactly
It's zeppelin!
One of my favorite Zep songs. Just a fun little tune, makes me happy. Of course for years I thought it was about a girl, not Plant's dog. Don't look to me for lyrics analysis.
Makes you feel like you're sitting on the front porch just jamming out with the fellas
Dogs are the best.
If I can't take my dog then I ain't goin.
Period!
Seeing them do this live in 1977 on stage just sitting down together is amazing !!! Loved it !!
Definitely recommend the "Unledded" MTV video. Do the whole thing!! We'll be there 💓
Yup. Alas, it's also "UN-Bonham'd," since it's "just" Jimmy, Robert, and a superb backing band (The drummer, the late, lamented Michael Lee, IS unbelievably great, it must be said). But the whole thing is gold, especially "Nobody's fault But Mine" and "Battle of Evermore," and, well, and the rest! Definitely recommend seeing it only after having heard all their studios first, though.
there is a very cool live version video of this out there.... Bonzo doing backup vocals...
It took me a long time to appreciate LZ3....I liked a couple of tunes, but wanted the bluesy metal that we got on the previous 2 albums. I like LZ3 now, but it took years for me to get there LoL!
This is off the first album I ever bought. I bought it for The Immigrant Song but this song quickly became one of my favourites.
Did you guys ever notice how others groups make one hit song and then make more songs that are similar to that hit song. With Led Zeppelin no two songs were similar. That alone is just amazing. Their music making was genius. So so complex
Love the reactions, especially the Led albums. I hope you stick with their catalog. I'm looking forward to you experiencing "Physical Graffiti", my favorite. (album #6)
You are going to love UNLEDDED.
This song makes you tap your toes and clap your hands. This is an underrated song in my opinion.
EDIT: this is more British folk music as opposed to American country. But good ear. It does have a country swing to it with the simple bass drum tempo.
2 songs from this album are hard rockers - Immigrant Song and Out on the Tiles
These guys are the GOATS! Funk, blues, jazz, southern rock now. Wow! So many bands have copied Led Zep. Plant was incredible, but Page was too, all of them. They were so mystical, spiritual. And to think they were from England
Hey gents --you need to see this live at Earls Court 5/25/75 or night before on You Tube. As usual , the live version adds a new dimension to the song which is about Plants dog by the way.
You guys are still great .
They released these records Led 1 1969 , Led 2 1969 , Led 3 1970 . If you take the first 3 records and think of them as a triple record and changed the order of songs to fit the flow of a triple record you will understand this album
The title is Welsh/Cymraeg, and it‘s pronounced „brrron UH-r Ayr“ (roll the Rs, and letter u sounds like the ea in beat) and it means "breast of gold“, a cottage in Snowdonia, North Wales. Welsh is such a beautiful language!
Out of all the times l saw Zeppelin in concert and that was a lot, l only saw them do this song once but it was a great performance 🎵✌️can't wait for their next album reaction 👍
Geez what a great little jam, thumbs high!!
Wait until you hear Hot Dog (off In Through the Out Door).
I think you’re right about the unplug situation ,it was before they had a “term “for it
Ain’t nuthin better than the Stomp
hey guys its your pal the freak from T.O. this album is not country but folk music thats why its sounds different this actual song
is about robert plants dog stryder listen to the lyrics its about walking his dog down country lanes and staying away from bricks walls
that all dogs love peace out
Unbelievable to see live. By the time they finished a few months of touring ,bands stopped showing up to play before or after. Unplugged was normal for them after a few years. So cool to watch them rock out , then in the middle of the concert pull out stools and give you a better version of what was on the albums. Jimmy could play better than any other with Bron yr stomp in concert !!! When he sat down you really saw how great he was(is) I always felt jimmy played hard with soul,, but had playfulness.. jpj was the glue , Bonham was the steady thunder, plant was another instrument with his beautiful voice, perfect with Jimmy's guitar. The only downfall for me was attending the concerts before 1977 spoiled me. But after one in 1977 I knew something was wrong with Jimmy. ( glad he made it through that period of his life) but still ZEPPELIN at their worst were better then most bands. PLEASE live no quarter, d& confused, & Br stomp.
Love watching your reactions
I imagine fans were pretty pissed when this dropped. They waited for whatever amount of time for the album, probably hoping for LZII but even heavier, and got this instead. Only difference is you guys have to hear it once and then you got LZIV coming right behind it. The fans had no idea how long they'd have to wait for the follow-up. But I bet by the time IV came out they loved this album anyways.
This whole album is primarily acoustic folk/ traditional songs. …. There are obviously some exceptions like immigrant song, since I’ve been loving you for example…. But when looked back on after listening to whole album you realize.. mostly acoustic and the album simply rocks…. Testimony to versatilities the band possessed… ask yourself how many bands you can think of that could do a blues epic followed by say this song in the same set… not many…. That’s your answer… look at the body of work by this band you’ve heard so far and it should be clearly apparent… this band can do it all… transitioning effectively from one genre to the next… talent is not strong enough a word…. Masters of their medium… and there’s more to come… lol… wait till you hear there take on reggae…. That’s a ways away yet….. lastly this song is about Plant’s dog… “ ain’t no companion like a blue eyed merle”… “ will still go walking down country lanes , I’ll be singing my sing and calling you name”….. ode to man’s best friend…. Brilliant stuff…. Watch all your reactions… loving it .. enjoy
There is definitely a nod to flamenco towards the end with the addition of castanets!
The Led Zeppelin Statement of There is a Third Version to...
Omg this is my jam 💯🔥that mandolin in the beginning. You guys just know how to pick them 💪
Acustic guitar at the begining.
@@Michael-Philip ik it's just when I was young and heard this they told me it was a mandolin so it always stuck with me 👊
I get it, it’s an acquired taste. I always loved it but I’m probably one of the few Zep fans that this album in their top 3 Zep albums. But I love Bob Dylan, The Band and Johnny Cash!
It was all Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
We all have our musical bias......but Zeppelin didn't......they played all genres and made them their own
You can't put a label on any Led Zeppelin song as their music encompasses all genres.
Every song is an adventure and will "Take you down through there".
It's what stands them apart from every other group, as well as the fact that they could not continue without John Bonham unlike The Who, Stones and the rest just popping in anybody and everybody!
PEACE
LOVE
LED ZEPPELIN
Led Zeppelin were one of the first bands ever to go cross-genre. (What else is a country song with rock singer vocals other than cross-genre?) And every single song is different. Different styles, different riffs, different beat, different genres, yet every one is good. There are no duds. IMHO you can never get bored with Led Zep.
And to think that Rolling Stone music magazine wrote this when the debut album came out, "Jimmy Page, around whom the Zeppelin revolves, is, admittedly, an extraordinarily proficient blues guitarist and explorer of his instrument’s electronic capabilities. Unfortunately, he is also a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs, and the Zeppelin album suffers from his having both produced it and written most of it.." And of the singer they said, "prissy Robert Plant’s howled vocals". 🤣🤣🤣
NOT an unplugged album! Just very varied with blues, rock and folk and if you listen to 'Hats off to Roy Harper' you will find all of these elements plus rock n roll!
This is country foulk and John Bonham plays the spoons on this track! And Bonzo keeps his huge bass drum stomping!!
When you say its country... it's actually basic blues, or really country blues. The chord progression, the riff, are by definition, the blues at its most basic, or one song style within the blues tradition. You'll hear very similar songs to this by some early blues guys. Electric Zeppelin really comes from the same place, just on steroids.
Sounds like going back to their folk roots
LZ III was a very different album from most everything else Zep put out. From the cover graphics and picture disc spinner, to the acoustic flavor of most of the album, it came as a shock to us fans, but we still enjoyed the hell out of it.Some of my favorite LZ songs are here, "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" being one of them. Love the title, and trying to figure out how to pronounce it when I first saw it. Also "Out On The Tiles", a little more of what we had come to expect from the band, but it is ALL good.
👍
