The song is specifically about the viking invasion of the British Isles from 794 Ad, the land of the midnight sun / ice and snow / where the hot springs flow ( volcanic springs) are all references to scandinavia. The singer Robert Plant is very interested in early British history so you get references to it in various songs also Brit. literature in others- these are 4 intelligent men who are master musicians so you get excellent songs on a wide variety of subjects. They also sparkle with humour - they had just done concerts in Iceland and had a very nice time so they wrote this song for fun. The outstanding guitar playing is Jimmy Page who is the founding member and the producer. The drummer is John Bonham widely regarded as the greatest rock drummer and the base / keyboard player is John Paul Jones. They are also strongly influenced by the early american blues men and dounmatched blues rock, but they do folk /acoustic rock, they get very funky and then their are songs which are uniquley them , you will need to discover stairway to heaven hopefully the live version at Madison square garden from 1973 . ON the subject of young people becoming old , they did a reunion concert in London in 2005 called celebtation day when they were in their 60's you should try Kashmir from that, age is no limit when you are this talented. 20 million people wanted tickets for that concert. Jimmy Page is 80 now and is still the coolest man on the planet. You are going to be very pleasantly suprised- by everything they did.
Her: It's about peaceful immigration from different places and the sharing of cultures ! Everyone: Yeah no... it's about the blood-soaked invasions of Vikings taking everything by force.
Love your comment. Very small correction: Celebration Day was December of 2007 . Plant was 59. Jimmy was 63…would be 13:18 64 in January. A d yeah, DEFINITELY should watch Kashmir from that concert.
They will provide you with an endless supply of music. No two songs will ever be alike, but each a masterpiece in its own way. LZ is arguably the best.
There really isnt another band i can think of that has such a diverse library of music. If you could somehow make Plants voice not recognizable, you most likely wouldn't know it was them (if that makes sense lol)
It and the whole MSG performance are terrible.....the band themselves admit they were too drunk and sloppy (and low tempo)....way too much over indulgent improvising or 'wanking'.
The studio is the best mix but for live, do the Movie version, the one they picked for the Song Remains the Same concert movie, it was picked for a reason, it is the best live version of a bunch I have heard/seen over the decades.
You could argue that Zeppelin had the greatest four musicians ever brought together in a band. No voice like Plant, no guitarist like Jimmy (greatest riffs EVER), no one hit the drums harder than Bonzo; and because Jimmy would flow, John Paul had to keep the musical flow going. Just an amazing band.
Imagine having a band with four individuals who could carry any band on their own with musicianship and songwriting yet you have them all in one band and they work so well together and know what their roles are within that band. Zeppelin was one of the tightest bands in every respect. One of if not the greatest rock band of all time!
The word 'immigrant' was mostly a passive kind of word until recently. It didn't have a huge political slant back when Zep was around, blowing our minds with each new album.
@@frankdulz6777 But she doesn't. I can understand when reactors talk about what the song means to them personally, how it impacts them. But to take a 50+-year-old song where the meaning has been clearly explained by the band and riff on a zillion other things it might mean just tells me that someone didn't do their homework. If nothing, listen first, then look it up before commenting.
That was the opener for their epic three hour concerts back in the day. Show me one other band that could even come close to their energy, talent, creativity and endurance...there are none. Zeppelin is the GOAT.
Bonham used to play jazz which explains how comfortable he is with shifts in what he's playing. A lot of drummers that emerged in the late 60s in the UK had jazz training because when they were kids this sort of thing didn't really exist so they learnt jazz and blues.
Wander ALL around their catalog. Their talent is endless. Since I've Been Loving You, In My Time of Dying, The Rain Song, Fool in the Rain. My fingers would be too tired to list them all.
I had a neighbor and he still lives there his name was thor he was from Iceland. He tried to wear out this album and this song was his favorite the song is definitely about Icelandi.
John Bonham's drumming is even better on the opening track of their debut album. "Good times bad times" has a base drum thundering out in 4/4 time with triplets pressed in for emphasis. Unlike now, he is doing this with one foot using only one pedal. Fools in the rain is polyrhythmic - He plays the high hat in 4/4 time with swing triplets, intermitting ghost notes with the snare in a 12/8 time. At the SAME time, he plays a half time swing shuffle on the base and snare. Four appendages and two different time signatures at the same time. He keeps this all together despite the bass guitar and 6 string guitar playing a 12/8 signature. Giving this song a syncopated triplet feel. kind of a Latin swing, Perdie shuffle feel.
@@mja4wp the Mellotron required its own technician to go on the road with JPJ, just saying … their show was state of the art for the time. But yeah, a washboard and a jug and a barbed wire diddy bow by today’s standards.
@@Roikat I hear you - your correct....and appreciate JPJ doing double duty (bass w/ feet and keyboards often and using a Mellotron at times) - but on Immigrant Song - it's just base, vocal, guitar and JB on drums.
The Vikings did much carnage in the early historical British Isles era and left a lot of Red Head off spring behind especially in Scotland ..Check out something from the 1st album Babe I'm Gonna Leave you and Dazed and Confused
I was at that concert. It was great, but as Robert Plant later said, they were under rehearsed and compared to some of their other concerts I would agree
Even as a heterosexual male, I remember looking at pictures of Robert Plant, bare-chested, tight flared jeans, leaning back on heels, golden mane, and thinking: Oh god, he's sexy.

This song was made while on tour in Iceland as a thank you for welcoming us. Lyrics are describing the Viking raids. Robert Plants yells are reminiscent of the Beserkers screams as they ran into battle. Don't read into the lyrics, they are describing Viking invasions only
Greatest rock band of all time! So many songs, have fun. Have you ever heard of an electric clavinet? Beautiful instrument, Custard pie features this instrument. And obviously Whole Lot of Love comes with a side of Custard Pie.
I saw them in Brisbane in 1972 and they opened with this and I could not believe how good they were--this clip was from their Sydney concert. Still gives me goosebumps after all this time.
This song has been used in several movies, including Shrek The Third. Its iconic opening fits perfectly in many situations. Also for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, School Of Rock and Thor: Ragnarok.
Imagine, if you will, being used to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Deep Purple, Iron Butterfly and other groups like them, thinking you'd heard the best Rock could offer, and a friend invites you over to listen to a new album he'd just gotten. So you go to his dorm room (in College), you smoke a little very weak 1960s weed, and he puts on Led Zeppelin (I), track 1 - "Good Times, Bad Times", and when then that first track hits you like you'd just been run over by a locomotive. It was obvious from the first couple measures that Led Zeppelin was something extraordinary. So, I suggest listening to that album, starting with track 1: ruclips.net/video/G1rJohGD9LA/видео.html It's a short song compared to many, so you might want to do a double response. There are so many great songs on this album, it's hard to pick one: 0:00 Good Times Bad Times 2:47 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 9:29 You Shook Me 15:57 Dazed and Confused 22:23 Your Time Is Gonna Come 26:58 Black Mountain Side 29:10 Communication Breakdown 31:39 I Can't Quit You Baby 36:21 How Many More Times It would be interesting to see if anyone can name a bad or even a mediocre song by LZ. Thing is, they're all so different.
Great reaction and comments, Rosalie! Happy to see you listen to another Zeppelin song. Hope you continue on this journey; they have lots of amazing music.
There are so many to look into; Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, Good times bad times, black dog, Achilles last stand, heartbreaker, babe Im gonna leave you...
Led Zeppelin are masters of musical diversity. And while they helped pave the way for heavy rock/metal, most bands following them couldn't achieve the beautiful synthesis of electric/acoustic, the heavy lead and the lighter than air zeppelin that these guys were capable of.
Jimmy Page the lead guitarist Robert Plant the vocalist John Paul Johns bass guitar And John Bonham on Drum, Check out their best songs Stairway to heaven, Kashmir, Since I've been loving you, no quarter and more.
This film footage (not video!) was shot in Sydney, Australia, but the audio is from a live concert in LA recorded on the same 1972 tour. I saw them live in Melbourne, Australia, on the same tour.
I'm British but my background is a lot more complicated, I think a lot of us can say something similar. It's so hard to emigrate these days everyone is closing the door it feels like, that's why I love to travel, I'm an adventurer and don't feel tied to any one place. Wherever I am if I'm happy...that's home. There are so many amazing, funky Led Zeppelin songs you'll love. (Slightly) less obvious ones for me are Houses of The Holy, The Ocean, and Fool In The Rain. I hope you check them out and take care!
If your jumping into Zeppelin...Madison Square Garden 1973 - LIVE is widely considered vintage Zeppelin....."Since Ive Been Loving You; No Quarter; Rainsong; Moby Dick; Song Remains The Same..." seriously...the entire show is a master class in Rock n Roll virtuoso.
Would love to have seen Ian Gillan wrap his vocals around this song. If you really want to be blown away by Zepp listen to the live performance of Dazed and Confused. Absolute masterpiece.
I first saw Led Zeppelin as a young man in my early 20s in 1969 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive music along with at least 200,000 other fans. Robert Plant was from my town in the West Midlands of England, along with many other famous bands and musicians of that era especially. It was a wonderful time for music lovers. Immigrant song was specifically about the Vikings, with their "threshing oars" From the "land of ice and snow" and the "midnight sun" emigrating around the Northern Hemisphere, also referring to the Hammer (of Thor).
Nice observations Rosalie, thank you. Yes, it's hard to imagine sometimes looking at old people like myself, and realize that they too once were young, and vital and full of energy and dynamism! And yes, the band, so brilliant, such good musicians and writers. The intense rhythm's in this song with it's kind of staccato feel - they were I think trying to capture the feel of the theme and lyrics of the song, which was about the Vikings - primal, raw, a bit primitive, but very powerful. That's one of the wonderful things about this band, they could do gentle folk music, they could do hard-as-nails rock, they could do soulful blues, whatever direction they wanted to go, they could go, and do it all so incredibly, incredibly well! Talking about soulful blues, here's an example to consider, "Since I've been loving you (live) - " ruclips.net/video/4gT63xovuWE/видео.html Jimmy Page starts out "shredding' on guitar, but then quickly goes into what seems to me to be some very tasteful blues playing (see what you think), and continues to put on a blues playing showcase for the rest of the song. And Robert Plant gives quite a showcase on the vocal too IMO. Anyway, really enjoyed your reaction and comments, thank you!
Loved your reaction Rosalie! Yes that time period there were alot of bands that were so different,constantly trying new new things. SO many bands that were in kind of their own lane. Had their own sounds. Zepplin,Jethro Tull, Boston ,Kansas,Yes,Rush many many more. I was there it was an amazing time period for music. Check out Zepplin's "Kashmir" Live from Celebration Day Concert.
I grew up in South Florida. Pompano Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. My wife and I moved up to Milwaukee, Wisconsin two years ago. There are so many people from all over the world here. It is awesome! I work with a lot of individuals whom came from South America, Central America and Mexico. To hear their stories of how they came over here, and why they came here is quite heart-wrenching. Much love and respect to these brave and courageous people! A lot of them lived in Florida and Texas at first. They left to come to Wisconsin because of jobs, quality of life and not being in fear of being harassed by local government. They all say Florida and Texas are terrible when you're an immigrant. We left Florida because it's become an overcrowded hell hole, and DeSantis is ruining it.
Saw them live in Philadelphia with Lesli West and Mountain and The original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green as backup acts in 1970

One of the three cornerstones to modern hard rock, metal and progressive rock/metal. The trifactor that laid the ground was Led Zeppelin with the psychedelic influence on moderna progressive rock and metal, Deep Purple to the melodic driving hard rock and Black Sabbath for the riff-based metal of today. All three from the UK and started in 1968/69. The drummer, John Bonham, was one of the best of his time and hard hitting. We lost him in 1980. His son Jason Bonham plays drums and did a fabulous job on the ONLY full Led Zeppelin reunion concert (one-off) in 2007 (London). At the Kennedy Honors the Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) from Heart, payd tribute to Led Zeppelin performing an EPIC version of the classic "Stairway To Heaven". On that occasion, Robert Plant (the singer) invited Jason Bonham to sit with them to receive the award for his father, but he had to deny as he had "other plans to matter". The fact was that he surprised them by playing the drums on that song with the Wilson sisters. That performance is a MUST to react to. ruclips.net/video/2cZ_EFAmj08/видео.html
Uh,no. Chill. SIBLY 73 is what one should hear/watch. Or Dazed from same show. Saw Heart 2x at their peak. They were covering Led in their encores then. Everyone beats off to that Kennedy center thing. Ledhead since 72.

@@JoeandAngie I love those versions as well - but I think Rosalie should react to that version at some point.
Led Zeppelin was Hard Rock, but certainly not metal, they actually hated that term. Believe me, if Zeppelin was metal, I wouldn’t have loved them for 50 years. Metal is like nails scraping a chalkboard.
6 месяцев назад
@@sicotshit7068 I never said that they were metal, I just said that they were one of the foundations that made modern day metal. For your information metal is more than nail scraping in my opinion, as there is more than 25 subgenres.
Hey Rosalie, appreciate your facial scowles ! It's obvious that you're getting down and dirty with the Led Balloon. Try one from Vietnam, 11 minutes of 'in my time of dying' the lyrics tell everything about war and death and being laid to rest 'please bring my body home'. Led Zep is what ALL that followed strived to be ! St. Paul, MN 1977 DBR
Zeppelin was so powerful and all members of the band were all star musicians. So thankful I was a teenager in the 70’s. Stones, Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Man - rock and roll doesn’t get any better than that!
That was absolutely cool watching the look on your face while James performed his guitar mastery during the solo. The Masters of RocknRoll. There is a song by Thin Lizzy entitled Rosalie. Cheers. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

ABSOLUTELY 💯
I actually prefer the studio version of SIBLY.

No voice like Plant, no guitarist like Jimmy (greatest riffs EVER), no one hit the drums harder than Bonzo; and because Jimmy would flow, John Paul had to keep the musical flow going.

It would be interesting to see if anyone can name a bad or even a mediocre song by LZ. Thing is, they're all so different.
I can name a few that are mediocre to me, but it’s all subjective.
Though I absolutely love LZ & have for about 50 years, two songs I don’t care for are. Hats Off To Roy Harper, & Candy Store.
Beautiful!
Great reaction and comments, Rosalie! Happy to see you listen to another Zeppelin song. Hope you continue on this journey; they have lots of amazing music.
There are so many to look into; Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, Good times bad times, black dog, Achilles last stand, heartbreaker, babe Im gonna leave you...
Led Zeppelin are masters of musical diversity. And while they helped pave the way for heavy rock/metal, most bands following them couldn't achieve the beautiful synthesis of electric/acoustic, the heavy lead and the lighter than air zeppelin that these guys were capable of.
Jimmy Page the lead guitarist
Robert Plant the vocalist
John Paul Johns bass guitar
And John Bonham on Drum,
Check out their best songs Stairway to heaven, Kashmir, Since I've been loving you, no quarter and more.
And the Lemon Song!

@@johnc7764 ups! My mistake
This film footage (not video!) was shot in Sydney, Australia, but the audio is from a live concert in LA recorded on the same 1972 tour. I saw them live in Melbourne, Australia, on the same tour.
Yeah they weren't even playing Immigrant Song in the footage. It was edited very well.
I'm British but my background is a lot more complicated, I think a lot of us can say something similar. It's so hard to emigrate these days everyone is closing the door it feels like, that's why I love to travel, I'm an adventurer and don't feel tied to any one place. Wherever I am if I'm happy...that's home.
There are so many amazing, funky Led Zeppelin songs you'll love. (Slightly) less obvious ones for me are Houses of The Holy, The Ocean, and Fool In The Rain. I hope you check them out and take care!
Your initial reaction reminds me very much of how we first reacted when this album was released. "Wow!"
If your jumping into Zeppelin...Madison Square Garden 1973 - LIVE is widely considered vintage Zeppelin....."Since Ive Been Loving You; No Quarter; Rainsong; Moby Dick; Song Remains The Same..." seriously...the entire show is a master class in Rock n Roll virtuoso.
Thank you for your intelligent commentary! Sometimes folks just can't see the forest through the trees and realize how we all fit into history! ✌
Thank you :) I agree. Well said
You gotta see more live Zep! Live at MSG 1973!! Stairway to Heaven! Since I’ve Been Loving You! The Song Remains the Same! Rain Song!
Did hard Zep fan since high school in the early 1970s. They were the best.
Would love to have seen Ian Gillan wrap his vocals around this song. If you really want to be blown away by Zepp listen to
the live performance of Dazed and Confused. Absolute masterpiece.
Which live performance? The whole essence of Led Zeppelin is that it's different every time.
Who is Ian Gillan? Ha! Ha! You're hearing Robert Plant. Why would you want anyone else?
Just call me old wheezer😂. Zeppelin was my teen life. Looking for a good acid trip. Glad I outgrew the partying lifestyle.
Me too
Mine too
Me too
John Bonham, the drummer, has a clip of him doing a solo and I think you'll appreciate the man even more.
You might have heard it in the movie Thor Ragnurok, or one of the Shrek movies.
Or school of rock
I first saw Led Zeppelin as a young man in my early 20s in 1969 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive music along with at least 200,000 other fans. Robert Plant was from my town in the West Midlands of England, along with many other famous bands and musicians of that era especially. It was a wonderful time for music lovers. Immigrant song was specifically about the Vikings, with their "threshing oars" From the "land of ice and snow" and the "midnight sun" emigrating around the Northern Hemisphere, also referring to the Hammer (of Thor).
Nice observations Rosalie, thank you. Yes, it's hard to imagine sometimes looking at old people like myself, and realize that they too once were young, and vital and full of energy and dynamism! And yes, the band, so brilliant, such good musicians and writers. The intense rhythm's in this song with it's kind of staccato feel - they were I think trying to capture the feel of the theme and lyrics of the song, which was about the Vikings - primal, raw, a bit primitive, but very powerful.
That's one of the wonderful things about this band, they could do gentle folk music, they could do hard-as-nails rock, they could do soulful blues, whatever direction they wanted to go, they could go, and do it all so incredibly, incredibly well!
Talking about soulful blues, here's an example to consider, "Since I've been loving you (live) - "

Jimmy Page starts out "shredding' on guitar, but then quickly goes into what seems to me to be some very tasteful blues playing (see what you think), and continues to put on a blues playing showcase for the rest of the song. And Robert Plant gives quite a showcase on the vocal too IMO.
Anyway, really enjoyed your reaction and comments, thank you!
😎🎸 it’s a rare thing to put together four musicians who can click musically like this.
GOATs.
Loved your reaction Rosalie! Yes that time period there were alot of bands that were so different,constantly trying new new things. SO many bands that were in kind of their own lane. Had their own sounds. Zepplin,Jethro Tull, Boston ,Kansas,Yes,Rush many many more. I was there it was an amazing time period for music. Check out Zepplin's "Kashmir" Live from Celebration Day Concert.
I grew up in South Florida. Pompano Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. My wife and I moved up to Milwaukee, Wisconsin two years ago. There are so many people from all over the world here. It is awesome! I work with a lot of individuals whom came from South America, Central America and Mexico. To hear their stories of how they came over here, and why they came here is quite heart-wrenching. Much love and respect to these brave and courageous people! A lot of them lived in Florida and Texas at first. They left to come to Wisconsin because of jobs, quality of life and not being in fear of being harassed by local government. They all say Florida and Texas are terrible when you're an immigrant. We left Florida because it's become an overcrowded hell hole, and DeSantis is ruining it.
Saw them live in Philadelphia with Lesli West and Mountain and The original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green as backup acts in 1970
One of the three cornerstones to modern hard rock, metal and progressive rock/metal. The trifactor that laid the ground was Led Zeppelin with the psychedelic influence on moderna progressive rock and metal, Deep Purple to the melodic driving hard rock and Black Sabbath for the riff-based metal of today. All three from the UK and started in 1968/69.
The drummer, John Bonham, was one of the best of his time and hard hitting. We lost him in 1980. His son Jason Bonham plays drums and did a fabulous job on the ONLY full Led Zeppelin reunion concert (one-off) in 2007 (London). At the Kennedy Honors the Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) from Heart, payd tribute to Led Zeppelin performing an EPIC version of the classic "Stairway To Heaven". On that occasion, Robert Plant (the singer) invited Jason Bonham to sit with them to receive the award for his father, but he had to deny as he had "other plans to matter". The fact was that he surprised them by playing the drums on that song with the Wilson sisters.
That performance is a MUST to react to. ruclips.net/video/2cZ_EFAmj08/видео.html
Uh,no. Chill.
SIBLY 73 is what one should hear/watch. Or Dazed from same show.
Saw Heart 2x at their peak. They were covering Led in their encores then.
Everyone beats off to that Kennedy center thing. Ledhead since 72.
@@JoeandAngie I love those versions as well - but I think Rosalie should react to that version at some point.
Led Zeppelin was Hard Rock, but certainly not metal, they actually hated that term. Believe me, if Zeppelin was metal, I wouldn’t have loved them for 50 years. Metal is like nails scraping a chalkboard.
@@sicotshit7068 I never said that they were metal, I just said that they were one of the foundations that made modern day metal. For your information metal is more than nail scraping in my opinion, as there is more than 25 subgenres.
Hey Rosalie, appreciate your facial scowles ! It's obvious that you're getting down and dirty with the Led Balloon. Try one from Vietnam, 11 minutes of 'in my time of dying' the lyrics tell everything about war and death and being laid to rest 'please bring my body home'. Led Zep is what ALL that followed strived to be ! St. Paul, MN 1977 DBR
Jimmy Page is on fire 🔥
My fave band since the late 60s. Plant lives round our area and is a life member of Wolverhamton Wanderers FC, as well as youth and homeless charities
Zeppelin was so powerful and all members of the band were all star musicians. So thankful I was a teenager in the 70’s. Stones, Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Man - rock and roll doesn’t get any better than that!
That was absolutely cool watching the look on your face while James performed his guitar mastery during the solo. The Masters of RocknRoll.
There is a song by Thin Lizzy entitled Rosalie. Cheers.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
Over 20,000,000 people requested tickets for their 2007 reunion tour at the 02 arena in London.
You’ve now entered a rabbit hole that is extremely diverse and deep, indeed!
After seeing your reaction I couldn’t watch another one for hours, you ,you, you good!
Saw them live twice. Met Plant a couple of times via work later in my life. So proud/happy to have lived my life with this music..
Para mí la banda más grande que nunca ha existido son increíbles
Since Ive Been Loving You... Nobody's Fault But Mine.. In my Time of Dying.. How Many More Times.. Just gave you your 4 fave songs.. Great reaction
