Since you've opened the Zeppelin Pandora Box, why don't you just start from the beginning? This way you can hear their progression as one of, if not the, best band of their time.
Right?! LZ I, II, III, and IV straight is righteous! This goes for Pink Floyd too. Their progression from 'Dark Side of the Moon' to 'Wish You Were Here' then 'The Wall' is STUNNING!
One of their very best for sure. Classic slow burn blues rock with stupendous work from all 4 guys: soaring soulful vocals, sparkling rock guitar, solid bass bottom, patented power hit drum crunch. Just feel it!
Plant has a passion for Morocco and the people and their music. Song was inspired by his many trips to Morocco (even though Kashmir is in India). He took a journey in the Atlas Mountains and across Sahara in Southern Morocco. That journey is reflected in his lyrics. He still says it is his favorite place to travel to. The music of the Middle East is also reflected in Kashmir especially with Jones’ playing the Mellotron.
Their roots are from old Blues, Jazz, and Folk music. They did a remake called When The Levee Breaks of a 1929 song. It's actually about the great flood of 1927.
There's no specific backstory for the lyrics other than trying to write a sultry, sensual, blues jam and I believe they succeeded. This was recorded live in the studio without a lot of overdubbing and Jimmy nailed the solo in one take. If you listen to this again, and listen closely, you'll be able to hear John Bonham's drum pedal squeaking. Jimmy often liked to leave "mistakes" intact because he wanted the listener to feel like they were there with the band while they were recording, however, he said he never noticed the squeak when first recorded.
I think going into listening to Stairway for first time never been exposed to Zep and being told its the greatest song ever may have something to do with it. That's a lot to live up to and digest. Love your reactions. As I have said before, the honesty is great cuz as a subscriber it's fun to watch you "come around". Enjoy.
Straight up blues. Bonzo has been known to throw in some jazz now and then. I don’t know of any back story to this song, but I think it’s the first fully blues song they wrote instead of covered. You came into the Zeppelin thing from album 4, instead of from the first album and developing a relationship , so to speak, with the music. I think this song is the last song on album three. You might do some of the early music, which was a lot of blues and some heavy rock. The first song on the first album, “Good Times, Bad Times” is a nice song. “You Shook Me” is a great old blues song. “Communications Breakdown” is heavier rock. “Dazed and Confused” is kind of a mixture of both. The whole first and second albums are really great. On the second, “Heartbreaker”, “Ramble On”, “Whole Lotta Love” “The Lemon Song” are all great.
The genre doesn’t matter…ever. Jazz, rock, soul, blues, R&B….makes no difference what the LABEL you give it, it is a song. Listen, don’t pigeonhole the artist, it’s unimportant what the label you give it. Thanks! Page on guitar is amazing and unsurpassed, Plant has an unreal voice, cool and that range…the drums are a revelation, and the bass, well…lol
Hey Salvo, thanks for trying to do the live version and you are honest which i like. I just subscribed and liking your videos. I think Whole Lotta Love preferably live from Madison square Gardens will be one of your favorites as I can tell what beat you get into. It's one of their more popular ones among so many others.
The sound in the background is John Paul Jones playing the organ. It's a bit unusual for someone to do music reactions when they can't really recognize different instruments.
Every Reactor on You Tube has seen the Live version of this song going back 3 years ago...so I don't why you were blocked...i don't know......and you need to contact through email and find out what they did to keep the Live video up....because many of these reactions are still posted on You Tube.
Alright will get you something, try these, "Rock and Roll", "Ramble On", "Communication Breakdown", "Whole Lotta Love", "The Ocean" then we'll get you back to the other (I call it down tempo for you) side of this band. It's a little early in your intro to appreciate "Stairway".
I think Im going to start at the beginning and just go in order from start to finish. I plan on going back to stairway halfway through everything, then again at the end, once I have heard EVERYTHING
I personally don't have a channel, but I follow several and from what I've seen and heard there's a few options for getting the video out. 1. Obscure it some with a filter (fastest way) 2. Make a fair use claim. Takes a while but usually gets released. Some actually post the fair use act at the beginning, not sure that works. There's a guy that has a video on getting them released.
Great song. Definitely blues infused rock. I love Stairway but it's not my favorite. I do, however, recommend listening to the studio version. In fact, I recommend always listening to the studio versions of their songs before listening to a live performance. There are a couple of reasons I say that, but I think the most important is that you can't hear all of the intricacies (neither instrumentally nor vocally) that they intended for us to hear, and just what makes them so very unique to the world of rock music even to this day, unless you listen to the recorded versions. Next up? So many to choose from but I'll recommend "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" again. I think that you'd enjoy it. Rock on! :)
Ive been told a few times to only listen to studio before live! Speaking of Babe, Im gonna leave yuo again, my mom suggested I listen to that next. Ill get to it this week.
@@SalvoG I'll be interested to hear what you think. It's more on the "folk" infused rock end of things, but I think you'll like it anyway. ;) "Whole Lotta Love" is considered early metal, so would also be interested in your reaction if you get around to it. It's always a toss up for me as to which I like better, but they're both on my top ten list of favorite Zep songs.
@@JuniorFarquar Well, we differ on that topic. I gave my reasons based on Page's incredible production genius, and that much of what we hear on studio versions they couldn't replicate live. I do love live, but to first get to know LZ, still think studio is the way to go. Also a Led head since '69. ;) BTW, as it turned out, Salvo enjoyed the studio version of SWTH much more than the live version when he finally got to hearing it. It's good to hear both and let the listener decide which they like best.
one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded is included with this timeless classic. I question your engagement. @8:13 you don't say anything about one of the greatest screams in rock history.
As far as the blocking goes. It seems almost random who and what gets blocked. I have seen this video without any pauses at all be posted and reacted to with no problem. Stairway is the most popular song in rock history but I and many other Zepp fans believe it's far from their best song. To be honest, I probably like 15 other songs by Zeppelin better than Stairway. I have heard why it's so popular is because for several reasons, it was the first real rock song that was played on AM stations. Back then AM ruled the radio and FM was basically for hobbyist. But FM was were you heard the more rock like music. So being played on AM radio would expose the song to many more people.
Im going to ask around to see if anyone can give me some tips on this. I hear ya, I don't love it but I do like it. Some people in the comments of my video can't believe I don't LOVE it.
You need to check this concert from them out as well, last time they played together in 2007 (and they still kick ass), ruclips.net/video/ZpxWDuBzAjg/видео.html
In my opnion. Listening to live would kind of turn you off a bit. There is so much sound on studio that they couldnt produce live. Ps dont think any chick broke roberts heart🤣
Oh my god. NEVER pause a song in the middle of a guitar (or any) solo. Nobody is interested in your thoughts at that exact moment! Just wait a few seconds.
One of the GREATEST blues songs ever...... It blew my mind
The guitar work on this track is sensational. The song as a whole is one of the best, if not the best, blues/rock fusions of all time.
jimmy did this improvised solo 1st attempt in 1 take! the engineer who recorded it reckons its the best solo he ever heard
incredible really
Since you've opened the Zeppelin Pandora Box, why don't you just start from the beginning? This way you can hear their progression as one of, if not the, best band of their time.
I think I am going to actually, after some thought
Right?! LZ I, II, III, and IV straight is righteous! This goes for Pink Floyd too. Their progression from 'Dark Side of the Moon' to 'Wish You Were Here' then 'The Wall' is STUNNING!
Zeppelin blues.. Untouchable!
One of their very best for sure. Classic slow burn blues rock with stupendous work from all 4 guys: soaring soulful vocals, sparkling rock guitar, solid bass bottom, patented power hit drum crunch. Just feel it!
One of my favorite songs by LZ and Jimmy did the guitar solo in one take
That is so crazy!
In Memphis. Ardent Studios...
The blues, specifically delta blues to the core w/all their music
"delta" blues? I need to listen to that specific sound.
Robert Plant has stated he prefers and has Kashmir as his favourite song to sing.
Interesting, does he mention why
Plant has a passion for Morocco and the people and their music. Song was inspired by his many trips to Morocco (even though Kashmir is in India). He took a journey in the Atlas Mountains and across Sahara in Southern Morocco. That journey is reflected in his lyrics. He still says it is his favorite place to travel to.
The music of the Middle East is also reflected in Kashmir especially with Jones’ playing the Mellotron.
Robert was 19 or 20 years old when this was recorded. His life experience was just beginning. Obviously he has the voice of an old soul.
Their roots are from old Blues, Jazz, and Folk music.
They did a remake called When The Levee Breaks of a 1929 song. It's actually about the great flood of 1927.
Folk music...Ill have to listen to a few FOLK songs on their own. Not sure how that exactly sounds.
@@SalvoG gallows pole is folky. ramble on and battle of evermore are VERY folky
You sure HEAR and feel the music. I'm digging your very 'present' response.
You really need to see this one live from MSG 73…….I mrpean…you really do.
Blues rock this is Jimmy's best solo on a studio album I think
You have to play the live version from MSG. You will love the audience reactions too
JPJ on the organ. Do The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song live at MSG in 1973!
Organ? I see. Working on getting the live versions to work. Hopefully soon!
@@SalvoG can't wait to see it! ☺

They definitely succeeded. One take? Sheesh. I have so much more to learn about them.
Brill ... Good reaction .. thanks ... love this one too .. also more than stairway ..
Do some live performances too!
I am figuring out a way to react to live versions without youtube blocking it. Will figure it out soon!

That is a veryyyyy true point. That's the perspective I am coming from. Thank you for the kind words!
You would love No Quarter by them really trippy
Love this song. You should play the song "Thank You" next.
I will get to it! thank you!

@@SalvoG Sounds good to me. Even if you don’t do everything, you’ll get a better feel for what they were doing.
Hold onto your hats wait for that solo
Thank you for saying your ok with THE GOAT! By the way this is the blues! Dude you have to check this out liv!

Try their songs,
Dazed and Confused,
How many more times,
The Lemon song.

Try How Many More Times PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I will definitely get to it :)
what did you do that got blocked? do the 29 minute long dazed and confused from msg. that is INCREDIBLE!
Nothing specific, I don't know why, youtube is very strict about reacting to live shows for some reason
Alright will get you something, try these, "Rock and Roll", "Ramble On", "Communication Breakdown", "Whole Lotta Love", "The Ocean" then we'll get you back to the other (I call it down tempo for you) side of this band. It's a little early in your intro to appreciate "Stairway".

Strange that it was blocked for you because there are several people who have done the live version review on you tube🤷🏻♂️
These lyrics reflect some traditional blues themes. He's not writing from personal experience here.
I Can't Quit You Baby is about Robert Plant having to leave a girl he loved in order to pursue his career if you get to that one.
I am sure Ill get to it soon
No, you are thinking of Ten Years Gone.
You need to check this concert from them out as well, last time they played together in 2007 (and they still kick ass), ruclips.net/video/ZpxWDuBzAjg/видео.html
Should I react to it ? Or watch it off cam
I never understood why stairway was such a big hit either, other than record companies influenced radio play.
I like it, I just dont LOVE it
Cool, I'm a 10%er
In my opnion. Listening to live would kind of turn you off a bit. There is so much sound on studio that they couldnt produce live. Ps dont think any chick broke roberts heart🤣
That could be true, either way studio first always
Oh my god. NEVER pause a song in the middle of a guitar (or any) solo. Nobody is interested in your thoughts at that exact moment! Just wait a few seconds.
Much of Led Zeppelin’s music is about Robert Plant’s women problems!
Why listen to live if you don’t know the song?
Live version is better
Working on a way to record a live reaction, should have it figured out soon
