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.
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
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
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
Another great example of why I think Zepplin is the greatest band of all time. Those guys could do anything they wanted musically.
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.
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
One of the gentler songs from this great band. A lovely melody beautifully played, vocal work is wonderful!
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…
Greetings from Oregon. Hitchhiked from Michigan and found and married my wife 33 years. This song is still very special.
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.
One of my favorites from Zeppelin very mellow great song
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.
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 🔥
This song is a bit of an homage to Canadian singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell whom both Robert and Jimmy were big fans of. When Joni got to the US, she settled in California which had a big folk music presence. Sometimes when they'd play this song in concert, after Robert sang the line "she plays guitar and cries and sings" he'd say "and she comes from Canada". Joni often used alternate guitar tunings for her songs, a skill Jimmy also often used for Zeppelin songs, including this song. Zeppelin have their own connection to California. California is the first place in the US that truly embraced Led Zeppelin's music. It was also the location of the infamous Hyatt House hotel (nicknamed the "Riot House") where the band would stay and was the scene for many legendary "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" type stories. When Jimmy was in California mixing the album this song was on, he experienced one of California's earthquakes, which is ironic considering the lyric "mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake".
"Going to California" is a folk-style song, with Robert Plant on vocal, acoustic guitar by Jimmy Page and mandolin by John Paul Jones.
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!
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!
That makes me homesick everytime I hear it.
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.
Just a pure voice
You can’t get much more musically versatile than Led Zeppelin
No auto tune back in the day .We were lucky if we had a color TV in 74 LOL . love you guys
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.
They have a whole album that's acoustic just to prove they could. :)
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
Thats what made zeppelin so great, thier versitility. They so many different sounds
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. :)
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 ✌
One of my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song ever. There was no auto-tune back then, just pure talent.
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
Maybe the best string duet in all of music, as they chase each other around. And those LYRICS!
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!
My first video of yours and I loved your reactions and commentary. Great job.
I was lucky enough to be given Zeppelin I. II. III. and Zeppelin IV aka ZOSO on cassettes when I was a young teen.
I highly recommend listening to each full album in that order.
Much love.
I grew up in the center of the Earth at the best time ever for music. Started listening to doo wop when i was 8 in 1957 and lived in Orange county ca. till now. Even though Led Zepplin was hard rock this still is my favorite by them.
you have just barely scratched the surface with Zepplin, they are very eclectic & play a variety of music mostly blues based but a lot with a Medieval flavor too - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
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 😥
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".
his song was written as a tribute to (then) folk singer Joni Mitchell, especially her beautiful tune "California" off of her classic "Blue" lp...
Zepp did more folky songs on their 3rd lp, which is my personal fav album; thanx for the memories of my youthful 1970s!
One of their best songs. Give me nice chill happy vibes. Feels like in in a rual place just having fun.
Yesssssssss!!!!! Love!!!!
The versatility of this band is legendary.
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
John Paul Jones plays mandolin in this song. Very fun to play!
One of all time favorite songs.
All Zeppelin songs are unique,,,,,💥👍💥
This is our rock and roll and we loved it
Ah the days of my youth, love led Zep
One of my favorite Zep songs.
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.
It shows how good Zeppelin were that 50 yrs on people still enjoy their music
A tribute to Joni Mitchell, who Plant & Page were fans of (The "girl with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair," the "queen without a king" who "plays guitar and cries and sings"),. She is a folk singer/songwriter (and later evolved into Jazz) from Canada who lived in Laurel Canyon in the mountains above LA in the late 60s early 70s. Great songwriter with the most beautiful voice you've ever heard. I recommend her song "California" though you can't go wrong with anything in her extensive catalog.
ZEP for Life! \o/ (And btw this is one of their best albums "Led Zeppelin III" despite being criticized at the time, precisely because it was much more acoustic than their previous albums).
Another GREAT folk sound by Zeppelin is Battle Of Evermore.
Oooooh soooooo goooood👍
Just his voice and some reverb. Old school studio gawds.
Greatest Band ever giving props to Joni . Love this track
The mandolin adds an amazing element
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.
Lex is such a rock fan!
He backed up from the mike and sang from deep down and ripped it to a high that was awesome. Pure talent
I love that Brad is viewing it through a hip-hop lens, and appreciating the cadence.
People were calling them a metal band so they showed thier acustic chops. JPJ on mandelin, Jimmy on guitar. Beutiful song.😉🇨🇦
"Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" and "Find the queen without a king they say plays guitar and cries and sings" are a reference to Joni Mitchell.
This is thousands of college students story in 60s and 70s to me all heading to sanfransisco to make it big and be part of the summer of love
I was a 5 y/o whipper when this song came out. 50 yrs later this song (and band) remains a fresh as ever.
You two should listen to “Rain Song.” Another “this is a Zeppelin” song?
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.
The THUNDERING crush of what follows.....
Ya'll GOTTA do I'm Gonna Crawl!!
Lex's little smile when Jones brings the mandolin in is the perfect reaction.
Thank you for playing my song. Maybe try “Oner the hills and far away. Dope
I read somewhere that some of this is inspired by some Joni Mitchell lyric/s, lovely backdrop of melancholic folk c/o Jimmy .... Zep introoooduced me to folk and blues, i was already into rock and Lord of the Rings 75/76 on leaving school
Pure talent, no auto tune
On the deluxe version of LZ4 there's a version with just the guitar and mandolin, no vocals. It's gorgeous!
I like it when acoustic songs have a context.
Oasis have an acoustic song "Talk Tonight" and it's a nice little story that builds though the song..
The background was when senior member of the group Noel Gallagher was hit on the head by younger brother Liam Gallagher in a US concert.
Noel in anger flew off to San Francisco to spend time with a female friend and there he composed this masterpiece song.
Years later he cannot remember the name nor address of the woman he spent the night with.
You should give it a listen. One of the best acoustic songs I've listened to.
There are no words to express but that this is just a great, great classic.
Simply the best ever.
Gotta do "Trampled Under Foot" you'll love that one. Zeppelin doin' uptempo funk
They used an echo effect or reverb on his voice. This was recorded way before the era of pc recorded music and autotune. They had to actually sing back then. Awesome vid and keep up the great work you guys are killing it.
This was written as a tribute to Joni Mitchell. Shes the girl with flowers in her hair that sings.
Love this song
There was no autotune in 1971. Song is an homage to Joni Mitchell, I think her both as a person and as an artist. Battle of Evermore is from same album, and is really a beautiful strong acoustic only tune too. Bron-yR-Aur Stomp is great fun all acoustic song too, personal favorite. I think it's about someone's dog(?).
Love this channel. You both are hearing these songs for the first time as opposed to us who have been hearing them since the 70's. There is no music like this today...it really sucks for us who grew up on real music.
Another example of why Zeppelin was, is and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band. They did EVERYTHING- rock, blues, r&b, soul, funk, folk, Celtic, Indian, Arabic, prof, fusion, et Al…
Love this song ❤️……from California with ❤️😘😘
I've always loved the line "Trying to find a woman who's never never been born"
Same! The endless search, but all for nothing.
What is and what should never be , is my favorite zep song
That's not autotune, it's talent.
No autotune, but they did use some studio effects. Led Zeppelin used multitracks where they would record dual tracks on many instruments, and sometimes on the vocals as well to get a fatter sound. I love the fact that while slower songs with electric guitar put Brad to sleep, an acoustic "folk" ballad like this gets him fully dialed in. Just proves that like all of us Brad has his individual tastes. As Lex has observed many times, Led Zeppelin is also a favorite of mine because of their ability to master so many genres of music. Along with Queen, David Bowie, and Prince, they are among the most "genre fluid" bands or artists that have enjoyed widespread popularity.
I heard this song was a tribute to Joni Mitchell - she was the girl with love in heart and flowers in her and played guitar and sings....
I am almost inclined to say that this is my favourite Zeppelin song
There was no Antotune in '74. Robert Plant is that outstanding.... I think there may have been an echo effect on his voice... but his notes were as pure as gold!!! Lex got that!!!
No autotune back then. Just talent.
Rain Song. Gotta listen to it, different and beautiful. Takes you to a different place, similar in the manner of Pink Floyd's - Wish You Were Here
No autotune used. Just talent
Jimmy Page on acoustic guitar, John Paul Jones on mandolin (Jones is a multi-instrumentalist who usually plays bass and also keys). Not in this song, but whenever you hear harmonica it is being played by singer Robert Plant.
One of my favorite Zep tunes. Jimmy’s playing is beautiful 🖤
A 12 string...gorgeous
Robert Plant And Jimmy Page are so GREAT; just listening to all these songs with you for the first time brings tears to my eyes, I MISS THIS ERA... Sad we all got to get old. This is real music, in my opinion.
What a journey!!
Led Zeppelin actually has a lot of a great acoustic songs. They don’t always rock out. You should try a Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, one of my favorites. Can’t help but tap your foot along.
