I love how people say this is a different sound for Led Zeppelin. To me it sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin.
Perfectly said.
Yup
Led Zep 4 was slower then all the ones before. It’s also considered the best of Zeppelin.
yes
She wondered if that were page playing acoustic how could one person be good at both 😂
Literally a generation of overgrown toddlers
No autotune back then Brad? That is just a man with a phenomenal gift. Robert Plant is considered by most as the GOAT vocalist of all the best Rock bands of all time.
And you are absolutely right on!!! No other voice in music history 😝
Plant blew his voice out in maybe 1973, his voice has been weak ever since, almost 50 years. Watch Live Aid from 1985 as an example....
@@rhondamcbath6279 Freddie Mercury
Heavy reverb on that part ..
@@pulsarlights2825 I agree but to me their best album Physical Graffiti came out after he blew out his voice. And to be fair, it wasn't like his voice was horrible afterwards. It was just not as good. I do admit some live performances it was horrible but in general it wasn't. The reunion concert in 2007 it sounds pretty dam good for a 60+ year old man.
No auto tune...didn't have it back then. He just had echo on. Also acoustic guitar here by Jimmy and a mandolin by JPJ!
yup and sounded like he just stood further from the mic
Led Zeppelins ode to Joni Mitchell, loved the earls courts live version
on battle of evermore jimmys on the mandolin in a role reversal lol
haha that was awesome.."is that auto tune?" haha
REVERB NOT ECHO
I would suggest “Hey Hey What Can I Do?”. It has a more acoustic feel and is still uptempo. Great song. No such thing as auto tune when this song was made.
Yep!
Hey Hey what Can I Do - great song a lot of people don't know about. Released in a boxed set in the early 90s. Highly recommended. And Going to California - definitely no auto tune in 1971. Developed in 1997.
"Hey hey what can I do" was released in 1970 on a 45 with "Immigrant song"
@@h8u4eva Yes, good point. Not on any of their albums released before Bonham’s death. I think they put it on the CODA album.
@@anitapaulus937 It wasn't on CODA. Other than the 45, it was released on the box set. Great tune.
Yes Lex, this is a Folk Rock song.
Jimmy Page playing the six and twelve string acoustics guitars. John Paul Jones is playing the mandolin.
Y'all need to do more Zeppelin. Brad, for more acoustic Led Z, try the songs "Bron-Y-Aur" and "Black Mountain Side" or "White Summer".
Yep and Bonzo was having a tea break- mmmm....
"Thank You" and "That's The Way" are another two beautiful songs by Led Zeppelin.
i don't hear 12 string on this. it was 2 or 3 guitars layered together.
@@mjt11860 it's 1 6-string guitar, 1 mandolin.
@@wesley.peterson it's actually 2 or 3 six string guitars and a mandolin
I love this one. Tangerine and That's The Way are two other more mellow songs from them that I also love.
Was going to say the same thing, absolutely love those 2
Zeppelin 3 is so underrated. Some absolutely gorgeous songs on there,and so mellow you won't even need a joint to accompany listening to it...😍
Tangerine is one of my favorites
And The Rain Song....
That's the Way is one of my favorite songs of all time
Just something to keep in mind, if a song came out before 1998 it does not have autotune. They used reverb to give his voice that sound.
Yesss more Zeppelin. Truly can’t go wrong with any of their songs!
It's true, you cannot 😎✌🏽
"Battle of Evermore" is another of theirs with nice acoustics.
Another great example of why I think Zepplin is the greatest band of all time. Those guys could do anything they wanted musically.
I really think Brad would like " the battle of evermore" by led zepplin. Both would prob like it, has great harmonies! But its not the typical led zepplin sound?
And Sandy Denny's (RIP) backing vocals are just perfect.
Yeah, both songs feature nice mandolin work by John Paul Jones.
@@ZEPnALE I think Evermore was down by Page
Battle of Evermore....sooooo gooood
No auto tune on the Golden God, Robert Plant :) This is from their 1971 album. It's still Jimmy Page on guitar - he's an incredible composer. John Paul Jones (the bassist) is playing mandolin on this one.
I'd definitely suggest The Battle of Evermore from the same album for another real folksy acoustic song (with guest vocalist Sandy Denny) where Jimmy Page plays mandolin and JPJ is on acoustic guitar. These guys really were incredible musicians. That's The Way is another great acoustic folksy kind of song. The third album (1970) has a bunch of really cool acoustic stuff. Friends is amazing; has that acoustic stuff, but still some awesome dissonance and heaviness. Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp are all in that vein. Hats off to Harper is a very different feel, a tribute to Roy Harper with a panned audio with Page's slide acoustic guitar in the left channel and Plant's effect driven voice (really heavy echo and maybe some tremolo?) in the right channel. Funky, not for everyone, but I enjoy it.
Back to the heavier stuff - I'd suggest you do Achilles Last Stand as soon as possible. It has a serious galloping drum/rhythm line for Brad to get behind, and fantastic guitar work for Lex to love. The Song Remains the Same is another with great drums and guitar work. I mean.. it's Zeppelin, the only songs that don't have great drums are the songs without drums - and they all have amazing guitar. You guys can't go wrong.
Hi Brad, when you said “he was going to California to look for love, the perfect woman, but that doesn’t exist.” You had a golden opportunity for brownie points and could have said “except for you Lex.” 😁
This is and always will be in my LedZep Top 5! It's just so beautiful, and really takes you along for the ride. Perfect lyrics. Amazing. 🤙🏼
This live...along with That's The Way at Earls Court is fabulous!
+1 for That's The Way live from Earls Court.
I remember in the early days of RUclips they had they entire live at earls court concert on here. Even the part where he snorts coke off his arm. Of course now they’ve pulled that.
This just turned 50 a few weeks ago!!!
Every Zep album has an acoustic song on it and they were/are still the GOAT for some!
They recorded this in a larger home that had wonderful sound effects depending where he was singing in the house. It’s John Paul Jones on a mandolin & Jimmy Page on acoustic.
By far, this has always been my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Helped me when I was really depressed as a kid.
Good for you!. Music can work as a therapy.
@@richardlee1972 amazing therapy! I’m 32 but so grateful for parents that introduced me to an extreme variety as well as just what I grew up with in my own time. Music is life for me at this point.
No auto tune back in the day .We were lucky if we had a color TV in 74 LOL . love you guys
One of the gentler songs from this great band. A lovely melody beautifully played, vocal work is wonderful!
I love how you two don't waste no time and get right to the song!! So many reaction channels start off just talking non-stop. Drives me crazy. thank you.
That’s why Zeppelin concerts are legendary. They were known for 3 hour concerts that consisted of rock, folk, and monstrous guitar solos. I watched an old interview of Jimmy Page, and he said, when they played live, you got to experience all the different the colors and shades…
Brilliant choice guys. Brad, that was definitely NOT autotune, man. One reason is that autotune tune wasn't around in 1971 and the other is that Robert Plant is one of rock music's greatest vocalists. He has no need autotune: he can sing.
And the guitars were Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on the other guitar as there's no bass. You should check out more of the acoustic, rustic side to Led Zeppelin. "That's The Way", "Gallows Pole", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", "Friends", "The Battle Of Evermore" and "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "Poor Tom".
Heard this a billions times and still get a smile and goosebumps
Every sound is a different sound from these guys. Legends.
I think this is an ode to Joni Mitchell and the folk music of the early 60's.... Beautiful.....
This Song Was Written About The Legendary
JONI MICHELL.
The World's Greatest Songwriter To Have Ever Lived. . No other has sung about life, pain and love to the heightened degree that she has attained.
"Help Me"
"A Case Of You"
"For Free"
"Tin Angel"
"Michael From Mountains"
"Woodstock"
Your lives will change.
The world's greatest?
OK.
There's this guy Bob....uh.....Bob.....
Bob Dylan is a Legendary Songwriter as well . . He definitely is an important figure when it comes to the popularity and rise of protest music. He even got The Beatles to step away from their earlier love songs quicker than they might have otherwise.
However if you strip Joni Mitchell songs and Bod Dylan Songs of their lyrics. . i think what you'll find is that Bob Dylan's songs fall flat without his folk lyrics or other musicians. Joni's earlier work; when it was just her, her guitar or piano, definitely outshone Mr Dylan in terms of musicianship and innovative arrangements.
Both excellent Poets
Keep 'em coming! There are literally 60-70 (of 108 total) LZ songs that are worth reacting to, and I guarantee we'd all be here for all of 'em!!
Only 70?
@@tonyd1185 Knew that was coming, and you're right lol
@@benshafer5198 was there since the beginning.
One of my favorites from Zeppelin very mellow great song
There are 2 reasons for this song. Lex mentioned about the groups versatility and that is one reason but the other is that when they played live, they played for about 3 hours and during that time a song like this meant they could sit down for 5 minutes and have an acoustic break.
i've been listening to led zep for a long time and this has become one of my favs the past few years
There's only about 5 songs I've ever loved first time hearing them. This is one of them.
This Zeppelin Song has great sentimental value to me. I spent 54 years of my life in Syracuse, New York, and 2 of my friends had an acoustic Act and performed this song. Every Gig I attended the Year I left Syracuse, they made sure to include in their song list Going To California, because in August 2017 , I moved from Syracuse to Northern California, and I live about 60 miles from the birthplace of the Hippies Haight Ashbury San Francisco California, and my friends in Syracuse were friends that I grew up with, friendships that covered 40 years, and many of us were musicians🎸🎸 I am a retired Bass Player🎸🎸
I agree that you must listen to "That's the Way" - my favourite Zeppelin acoustic song. And Lex, for me it was great to hear an American pronounce the "i" in "versatile"!
Bron y aur stomp is my favorite led zepplin song fast tempo acoustic. And jimmy page is one of the goat guitarists whether acoustic or not.
Brad, you are spot-on with your explanation for electric and acoustic guitars. Same mechanics just played differently
This is my absolute favorite Led Zeppelin song!
no auto tune . This album just had a 50 year anniversary November 8, 1971 yes Jimmy page was the only guitarist. He was a session player in England in the 1960’s .
One of their best songs. Give me nice chill happy vibes. Feels like in in a rual place just having fun.
“Thank you” by Led Zeppelin is very underrated to me & is one of my favorite songs by them that’s more calming. Along with “All my Love” and “The Rain Song - Live at MSG”
I've read that they were crushing pretty hard on Joni Mitchell, who
was living in Laurel Canyon in California. Oh, she sings!
Auto tune (not yet hatched) is about pitch, not tone. It corrects poor pitch - flat or sharp notes.
"Going to California" is a folk-style song, with Robert Plant on vocal, acoustic guitar by Jimmy Page and mandolin by John Paul Jones.
I love going to california!! i always rewind this bad boy. Plant & Page are in the zone. led zeppelin IV. great reaction to one of the most beautiful acoustic rock songs. thanks for bringing us 🔥
One of their finest tunes. 🧡🌞
Thank you. such a beautiful song robert wrote this for his wife and how much he loved her the lyrics are so well put together it will almost bring a tear to your eyes in my top 5 of zeppelin songs
No autotune in the 1970's, Brad!! You two should add "The Battle of Evermore" to your playlist. First the Led Zeppelin version, then the version as done by Heart! An epic cover if ever there was one, and showcases hidden talents of the Wilson sisters!
Possibly my favourite Led Zepplin song, so calm and chilled
I always love when you react to Led Zeppelin - my favorite is a live performance of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" titled - Danmarks Radio 1969. It's an amazing performance of a very young band - even if you never do a reaction to it - watch it sometime for your own personal pleasure. There are 3 or 4 other songs from that same performance - all fantastic. Thank you for your reactions.
One of my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song ever. There was no auto-tune back then, just pure talent.
Auto tune hadn't even been invented when this song was released. This is just real artistry from an amazing band. And Robert Plant can seriously sing.
Amazingly Great Versitility as a Rock Group that made them one of the Top Rock Groups EVER!! ❤️ ZEPPELIN you can't go wrong with anything they did! Thx for Showing Everyone their Greatness!
Led Zeppelin- Battle of Evermore,, the only song they had a woman as a guest singer!
Great. I’ve just realised I spent ages learning this song on guitar and I haven’t played it for nearly a year and I’ve forgotten it again 😥
Their music fits all moods. But it’s all great
They are simply amazing
Been listening to this song since RUclips began. This exact video you reacted to has always existed via some channel or other. It's like a gemstone in one of the many butresses of the website.
John Paul Jones is a talented musician, and played several instruments very well. His keyboard skills in particular are outstanding. Check out Trampled Underfoot for an example.
I love Led Zeppelin and I love Going to California (especially the live version). It makes me cry every time.
there was no auto tune in 1974 - part of the issue old schoolers like me have trouble with today's music - you had to have talent - not just image - you guys are great keep it up !
This is 1971 , if you were a real fan you would know that
@@raymondwarmke7094 I'm definitely a real fan of Zeppelin and I hadn't the faintest clue what year this album came out.
@@jared699 no harm , it's just you should know what album this song is on . All you have to is look it it up on the internet, it's simple
I guess it is too difficult for some people to know what year a song/album came out.
love the way you guys do videos. 14 seconds in and on the song. to many reaction videos have 1-2-3 minutes of rambling about nothing to start.
really enjoy your videos. hope you guys keep going long time!
You can’t get much more musically versatile than Led Zeppelin
This is such a relaxing song
Just subscribed 🥰
You should check out their live performance of this at Earl's Court. It sounds pretty much identical. If anything, even better! With no auto-tune , of course. :)
It shows how good Zeppelin were that 50 yrs on people still enjoy their music
They have a whole album that's acoustic just to prove they could. :)
That song brings back really good memories of my cuzin who past awhile ago we always had a Beer in our hands when this song was playing Good Times thanks for the reaction
When you are great, you don't need no freakin' autotune! Besides, it wasn't invented yet!
My favorite song by them. So glad you got to hear it. Put your feet up and just relax
Zeppelin was the most versatile band of any era. Page on acoustic guitar, John Paul Jones on mandolin.
I think Pink Floyd’s more versatile
@@jeremiahpalumbo8381 Zepp covered more genres, but I have nothing against Floyd.
"This is a different sound from led zeppelin!" How many times have you said that in zeppelin reactions?
That's zeppelin for ya. No labels or boundaries. Not just a rock band.
I love listening to this song on a trip with windows down and loud music blaring. Love this song.
Such a great Zeppelin tune! You are right about how versatile they are. If you want to hear a great cover of this, look up Amy Lee's (from Evanescence) version. My word, it is beautiful and her voice was meant to sing it. Great choice and reaction!
Love you guys, great choice and my favorite classic rock band of all time. Thanks to my sister who introduced me to classic rock as she grew up in the 70's and me in the 80's. For me it was instant enjoyment. As you probably know by now, man starting over from failed relationship, time in Cali, earthquakes in Cali and shout out to the awesome and great songwriter Joni Mitchell is the song narrative.
I was smirking when you said "this is a different sound from what I'm used to from led zepplin" what you guys didn't hear was the beast drummer John Bonham. You can't get the real led out without Bonham. Anyhoo great reaction and don't forget to smoke your stuff and drink all your wine ✌
I would like to recommend Led-Zeppelin “TEN YEARS GONE “
This is one of those songs everyone should hear at least once in their lifetime.
At one time they bought a house. They used it for a recording studio. They had a person in everyroom playing the instrument. The sound was unusual but memorable. The accustics was noticable.
Just a pure voice
One of my favorite Zep songs.
Patience pays off. I waited for this to finally show up. This makes 5 songs (along with many others) I suggested that has gotten a reaction. Even if the songs were not purely chosen due to my suggestions and comments or not. I am thankful Brad and Lex are so intense with their audience.
Zeppelin can do all kinds of different sounds and styles of songs. Hard blues rock is obviously their most played and loved.
Led Zeppelin has so many qualities to their music 🎶 I love the strong songs but I gotta admit, their quiet ones are like hidden gems.
My favorite guitarist, Steve Hackett, has one of the iconic prog rock electric guitar solos on the Genesis song Firth of Fifth, but he also has several entirely acoustic albums with orchestra backing. If you want to hear what he can do by himself with only one acoustic guitar, try his song Adriatic Blue.
My first video of yours and I loved your reactions and commentary. Great job.
That makes me homesick everytime I hear it.
He backed up from the mike and sang from deep down and ripped it to a high that was awesome. Pure talent
Greetings from Oregon. Phido and I just love you two. Lex just adores you Brad. We wish all the best to you and your family.
This is such a great song. The more I listen to it, the better it gets.
Love you guys! Lex, you are a 70s flower child in your soul! Thanks for reviewing so much Led Zeppelin. You should do Zeppelin 3 if you haven't already. "That's the Way" is the one to pick!
Trippy hippie vibes, man! "If you're going to San Francisco \ Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" Scott McKenzie "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" (1967) "Stairway to Heaven" and "The Battle of Evermore" were the other two trippy hippie tunes on Led Zeppelin IV. Welsh songstress Sandy Denny joined Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore". She was the only other singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin album. The band even assigned a special symbol for her on the liner notes to the album. If you've got a thing for angelic voices, then lend your ears to her voice. Her work with Fairport Convention is quite masterful. For a taste, check out "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", "Farewell, Farewell", "The Ballad Of Easy Rider", and "She Moves Through The Fair" among others.
So many beautiful people and the girls are wonderful. It's peaceful and inspiring.
Continue to be impressed and entertained by your reactions and analysis! They never fail to brighten my day and make for the best material to get lost in during micro-breaks at work. For a similar mellow vibe from Robert Plant, check out his solo work from the '80s & '90s, especially 'Big Log' and "In the Mood."
This song has one of my favorite lines ever, “ride a white mare at the footsteps of dawn”
I love this song. All of the great bands can play, sing, or write most any style of music that moves them at the moment. Zep was one of those great bands. Thanks for the song. It always lifts me up.
Pure talent, no auto tune
I got this album in high school. I graduated in 1974. No auto tune but bands were starting to experiment with reverb, moog beginning of electronic. This allowed a quartet to fill 50,000 seat stadiums.
Memory's from back in the day going to California or Florida my favorite song by the greatest band ever led zeppelin memory's this song i can keep playing all day
Greatest Band ever giving props to Joni . Love this track
Greetings from Oregon. Hitchhiked from Michigan and found and married my wife 33 years. This song is still very special.
Thats what made zeppelin so great, thier versitility. They so many different sounds
They used to do an acoustic set during every concert. This was written for Joni Mitchell who’s music both Plant and Page loved.
Standing on a hill in the mountain of dreams...I love that lyric.
Lex had me at: "Kashmir, Whole Lottta Love, Stairway To Heaven...those are my favorite Led Zeppelin songs!"
I love that Brad is viewing it through a hip-hop lens, and appreciating the cadence.
