Psychedelic rock is what we called this. Jimmy Page was the genius behind the Led Zep sound, not to mention one of the best rock guitarist in the entire rock world.
@@JohnNickell-g3s Yes Bonham did have his part in it. But Page's forward thinking created the psychedelic sounding compositions with the guitar and the speakers feedback, etc. Page and Bonham did work with how to make his drums sound better without too much speaker use. And of course we're here to give our opinions with respect.
@@yvettemoore71My first concert was KISS in 1979 in grade 7, here in Vancouver. Local band Loverboy backed them up. I wasn't allowed to go, but everyone in the neighborhood was going, so I took $10 from Mom's wallet and called her from the Coliseum. Tickets were $10.50. My first real act of rebellion. It was so freaking worth it!
Believe it or not, this song, despite its length and strange arrangement, was played in regular rotation on FM rock stations during my youth. The older I get (alas, can't get a whole lot older, due to an expiration date unknown) the more I appreciate the music of my youth. Dang, we had great music back in the day.
It was a fun time with all that great music by outstanding musicians. I was 11 when I was introduced to Led Zeppelin on a very popular music show called "Beat Club" here in Germany. Every Saturday afternoon for only 7 years (1965 till 1972) they gave us the best life music ever. Adults didn't like it much but my mom and grandma watched with me every Saturday, and after Beat Club a music show for older folks with German "Schlager" started.
I'm right there with you on our "expiration" date -- unknown but creeping closer every day! We were SO lucky to have grown up during the time of "make love, not war" and all that that entailed. The best days of my life! I was one of those who never fit into the mainstream, and it was hard getting by always being the outsider. Then the hippie movement came along and showed me EXACTLY where I belonged and who my peers were going to be for the rest of my life. We made great changes happen, we stood for the end of the war and the beginning of civil rights for EVERY AMERICAN! Our music reflected our new-found freedom, our joy and love for each other, and our commitment to equality for everyone and dedication to no more war. Alas, we couldn't change the world, but we did try. And that's saying more than most people can say when they look back on their youth. Long live the hippie spirit and the desire to fix this broken country and fill it with love for each other once more. Long live our great music and our great dream. NEVER surrender -- NEVER!!
He’s the king of overdub. Zep is my all time favorite band but it’s a known fact they sucked live cuz Page couldn’t repeat what he did in studio. Regardless I’ll always love this band!
This brings back memories. I was 16 years old and living in Kaysville, Utah. I’m 70 years old now. I came across your podcast a few days ago and been watching them for 5 hours straight now. I love watching and listening to your reactions from the artists that you share with us. You’re a very special person. You feel deeply. You’re real 😻
I agree. I’ll be 73 in Feb. and remember my mother asking me to turn down the volume after this song. I think she knew that this one was meant to be loud.
Yes, it was quite a common phrase in blues and soul songs of the 60's, especially for Vietnam songs when guys came home and found their wives cheating, 'somebody run outta my back door...'
I’ve always said that Platn uses his voice “as an instrument” (like an instrument) better than any other singer. Lots of people sing great. Paul Rogers (Bad Company) has a fantastic voice. But nobody makes their voice take on the characteristics of the song better than Plant. All-time GOAT.
At the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, Jimmy Page rises from the top of a double decker bus and starts playing Whole Lotta Love to promote English culture for the next Olympic Games in London. How cool was that 🤗
I love that hijacked Delta blues is English culture. Not faulting it - I love the English. Honestly the are the best civilization that has existed so far;.
Thank you to the supporter who suggested this. There is not even a word to describe Zeppelin. I love hanging out on Polos Chanel. Sometimes I feel like I’m all alone in this world. I love blasting this music in my car when I’m driving. It sucks sometimes not being able to experience these times with like minded people.
I suggested this song in the buy me a coffee link and also a few more times in the comments sections. I LOVE this song. It's my favorite. Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since Jr. High. No other band can touch them. To me, there's Led Zeppelin, and then there's everybody else.
Same here!!!! When it comes to music like this I’m sure I’ve driven past many a folk who saw me doing my thing to whatever I’m blasting thinking “Oh no! Call the popo-there’s a crazy bitch having a meltdown behind the wheel!!”🤣🤣🤣How can you not? If the music you like DOESN’T make you react in certain ways there’s something wrong with you 😳
This reminds me of being young, maybe on acid, or at a high-school dance or both. Haha those were the days. This wasn't my kind of music, still isn't, but I can still appreciate the musicality, and sexuality
Back in my college days there was an eleven story dorm. Every once in a while someone who had a fantastic stereo system would put the speakers out the window and play “love” and it sounded like someone falling out the window. Great times
“Dynamics… light and shade… the whisper to the thunder… sort invite you in… sort of intoxicating…” -Jimmy Page (Look up “Jimmy page ramble on, it might get loud” if you want to see it)
@@joescott8877 The best part of It Might Get Loud is where The Edge and Jack White are in awe when Jimmy breaks into Whole Lotta Love. Like kids in a lolly shop!
@@DuaneDaly-qh9zp Yes, i've seen it, it's a treat! Jack once said that he broke his cassette of Zeppelin II bc he kept obsessing over how to play the iconic solo and rewound it once too often, lol!
Happy B-day!!!! Just celebrated my 71st birthday on the 8th. Still LOVE Led Zepp and just BLAST IT when my grandkids aren't here. Reminds me of my Navy Days during the Vietnam War. I've instructed my kids to play "Stairway to Heaven" at my funeral some day. :)
That's my ringtone! According to the kids in my company I'm the coolest grandma they know. LOL! You can NOT go wrong with Led. "Backdoor man" was a secret lover who came in and left through the backdoor... unseen.
You've heard this ...1st song whose guitar lead captured every young man's imagination...beyond anything done up until this time. Flawless song. Middle section simulates/emulates an O..gazm
It's so funny. I was a young virgin when I was really into Led Zeppelin and never understood this aspect until just now-as a middle-aged man with two young boys. I wonder if they will be smarter than me when I introduce them to this great tune.
@Videoparuser I feel sorry for anyone who never manages to get married in that case - missing out on ever feeling love in the most fundamental and intimate way possible. I'm sure God didn't intend it that way - nature dictates and has done well before anybody had thought about performing public ceremonies of any type
You can never go wrong with the Zep! you should celebrate your birth onto this planet! We are all souls of creation and worthy of celebrating! Happy almost Birthday, POLO!
I’m 64 and you’re finally listening to the best their is! Very fond memories of getting high and absolutely cranking up Zeppelin Whole Lot of Love … everyone should experience it at least once 👍, true meaning of great rock music!
So jealous. I wasn’t alive for another 5 years but the first cassette tape I bought was ‘the song remains the same’ because I could get 2 tapes for the price of one. Double album:) listened to Moby Dick and became a drummer. OMG I love this band.
About 20 years ago I was taking out the garbage. The dumpster was right next to a bus stop and there was a kid, looked about 15 waiting for the bus. What caught my eye was that he was wearing a tee shirt with the Swan Song fallen angel on it. "Hey...cool shirt." "Thanks. My dad listens to a lot of old rock" Walked away thinking that someone is raising their kid proper.
When I saw what you were about to listen to, I grinned as just new what was about to hit you, & didn't stop grinning throughout. It's one helluva tune 🥰
Been waiting so long for you to react to this song. Thank you for your reaction. It's like hearing this song again for the first time, re-living it through you.
A beast of a track, that riff, the drumming, JPJ matching the guitar and then Robert’s vocals leaving no ambiguity as to what it’s about, no surprising it’s considered one of the best rock songs!
Don't forget, when you listen to these songs, about the year that they came out and were hits. That was a raw song back in the day. Yes, I was there...lol...and still love them.
John Bonham was the greatest drummer in rock history. He was known as the Beast. If you want to see his masterpiece you should watch the live version of Moby Dick When he died the band broke up. Zeppelin did a reunion tour with John Bonham son Jason who plays the drums just like his dad. This was the music of my youth. I still listen to it on vinyl
Jimmy Page and that bow on the guitar strings.🤣 I remembered Zep being asked what this song was about, they all laughed and stated “Exactly What It Sounds Like and What The Lyrics Clearly Say!
I bought myself the Celebration Day video from Led Zeppelin for my last birthday! What an amazing concert that would have been! Wishing you the best on your day!
I remember the first time i heard this song.......I thought how are they going to top this!! Ive loved ZEPPELIN for as long as i can remember. BEST BAND EVER!!!
Happy Birthday, Polo!!. This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song- but honestly I love them all and listen to them still, to this day. I'm 66, but feel 21 in my heart. I was lucky enough to see them at Riverfront in Cincinnati in the 70's❤❤
"He's cooler than the other side of the pillow!"😂 Is that an original? In 76 years, that's a first!❤ Hope all is well in the Land! It's where I saw Zeppelin in 1969! I may be old , but I got to see all the great bands!😊
Happy Birthday, Polo! Hope you have an amazing day. The line "I wanna be your back door man" is an old blues riff. The husband or regular boyfriend came in through the front door and the "lover" came in through the back door. I just love how much you love Led Zeppelin. The sound track of my life from the late '60s through the '70s, there was Yes, LZ, Pink Floyd, ELP, The Moody Blues, Genesis, Jethro Tull, etc. etc. and you are there digging all of it. It's a joy to watch you hear these amazing bands and songs for your first time. =)
@@Cchan53 Yes, it is. This is a KNOWN blues term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Door_Man#:~:text=5%20Sources-,Lyrics,before%20the%20husband%20comes%20home.
POLOOOOOO!!! Another great BREAKDOWN of ZEP! I'm so fortunate to have lived during THAT TIME, thru THIS TIME... To watch the youngsters react the same way wth amazement, that my generation did! BADASSARY IS LED ZEP!!🙄🤘
This song outraged so many parents back then.... I'm 58 and loved these guys since day 1. I have 2 older siblings, oneplayed Zepp, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc while the other was the Beatles, CCR, Cat Stevens etc..... I was SOOOOOO lucky!
58 here too. I have 4 older siblings, 2 liked Rock--thank God. I got a bit of everything. Have a killer Vinyl collection. One artist people skip a lot that I know we all loved back in the day was Linda Ronstadt. I really miss the pure, honest female vocals from that era.
Happy Birthday! 🎉 This is a great song to give to yourself! You cant go wrong with Led Zeppelin. "Don't tell me you've never got the Led out!?" - School of Rock.
I absolutely love this for you. Getting to experience Zepplin as an adult for the first time. Must be a boat load of chills for you man. Happy belated.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 Hope you do go on your trip. Tennessee is a wonderful place for someone who enjoys music. Beautiful country to lay down a blanket and read a book under the beautiful sky, peaceful and majestic. At night go listen to some great music. God bless.
Those birthday plans sound like the best kind. I understand the desire to turn down the thoughts and read. Hope you get to enjoy doing that. Also, Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band since I found them late in 1978. Thank you.
Happy birthday old mate. My wife bought me tickets to see Suzi Quatro on the 23rd, my 70th birthday, haven't seen Suzi live since 1975. You keep on rockin' Polo, I love what you do.
I just want to make sure you Knew. Abbey road came out same year and beetle were doing ‘come together’ and ‘here comes the sun’ while the stones put out ‘gimme shelter’ and ‘you can’t always get what you want’ which are all great songs. But this is next level different and game changing. 1969. Wish I had been a teenager back then. My brother was only 1 and I was a wink in my father’s eye.
Happiest of birthdays! Self care is a wonderful thing to gift to yourself! When you said read and go biking I was thinking wouldn't that be nice.... Here in the mountains of NH we had a snow storm and received a few inches of snow (we were already at flood stage before the snow.) In these mountains there is a 5th season (I didn't know that until I moved here 2 years ago) called Mud Season! Winter, Mud, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Hope you enjoy your birthday trip as much as you enjoy listening to great music!
"back door man" is a blues reference. Hubby heads for work out the front door and lover comes in the back door....or runs out the back door when hubby comes home.

"I wasn't ready" made me laugh. Zeppelin is next level.
Psychedelic rock is what we called this. Jimmy Page was the genius behind the Led Zep sound, not to mention one of the best rock guitarist in the entire rock world.
No, not psychedelic rock. That's Pink Floyd, and the brains behind this band was John. Paul Jones, not Jimmy Page, John Bonham, the best drummer ever.
My opinion only, I say it with the most respect and love to you.

Just heard it today on the radio !
@@pippavombr5856 I vaguely remember that show as I was born in Augsburg & moved to the States {Georgia} in '73 ✌💖☮
Yeah back in the 70s and 80s LZ was common on the radio, both FM and AM.
Jimmy Pages ability to make amazing sound effects is legendary. You should see him play with a violin bow. Effin genius.
He’s the king of overdub. Zep is my all time favorite band but it’s a known fact they sucked live cuz Page couldn’t repeat what he did in studio. Regardless I’ll always love this band!
I'm about to turn 67. Realize that this song was a Top 40 a.m. radio hit. Let that sink in for a minute relative to what's on the radio today.
FACT
Depressing isn't it?!
Depressing isn't it?!
Junk today...
The AM stations played a shorter version. The psychedelic interlude was trimmed down so the song was just a little over three minutes long.

Great job Polo!
I agree. I’ll be 73 in Feb. and remember my mother asking me to turn down the volume after this song. I think she knew that this one was meant to be loud.
Backdoor, back then, meant literally the backdoor. That door refers to where a lover could sneak in and out of undetected.
Yes, it was quite a common phrase in blues and soul songs of the 60's, especially for Vietnam songs when guys came home and found their wives cheating, 'somebody run outta my back door...'
Glad you posted that, and that I thought to look first before I did the same.
the younguns have such a dirty mind.. !!!!
No. It meant anal. What you originally thought.
No it didn't. "Shake for me, girl - while I exit thru the backdoor"?. Uh, no.
Plant had the perfect voice for real rock and roll!
I’ve always said that Platn uses his voice “as an instrument” (like an instrument) better than any other singer. Lots of people sing great. Paul Rogers (Bad Company) has a fantastic voice.
But nobody makes their voice take on the characteristics of the song better than Plant. All-time GOAT.
These guys were all about 20 yrs old when they recorded this gem
I was a dumb 20 year old drummer, good at it, but I didn't have the talent to create like these men. It's a rare talent.
55 yrs later. I still get chills on that final scream in the fade out.
More Zeppelin is always more better.
Mac couldn’t have said that any more better.
Lotta babies made to this song !!!
Its definitely a good temp song for love making
This song is a must with headphones.
And a doob!
Yes the panning back and forth on headphones and really exaggerated if you were high😁☮️
Aren't they all though! But yeah that sound swirling around your head...pure magic!
Or................ with very loud f#@king speakers!!
This was voted the number one guitar riff of all time.
At the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, Jimmy Page rises from the top of a double decker bus and starts playing Whole Lotta Love to promote English culture for the next Olympic Games in London. How cool was that 🤗

The mighty Led Zeppelin made life in the 70’s a better place. Now I’m 70 and it still has that magic. Birthday Blessings, Polo!
again. JPJ the most underrated musician ( not just bass) … musician. he can do anything. he’s basically playing rhythm guitar in this song.
Yes! Bass...keys....synth...mellatron...mandolin...banjo etc
I always thought that he kept zepplin true to their goals of blues rock myself
@victorbradshaw7359 agree, even in later years when they started experimenting with more genre bending music the blues roots could always be heard.
Yes to JPJ being underrated.
And helped in other bands ,playing, production
Secret trick of their sound: Bonham’s kick doubled the guitar riff and bass often, giving them that thick feel.
JPJ also used an overdriven Leslie speaker for an even fatter bass sound. love it
You can never go wrong with the Zep!
you should celebrate your birth onto this planet! We are all souls of creation and worthy of celebrating! Happy almost Birthday, POLO!
I’m 64 and you’re finally listening to the best their is! Very fond memories of getting high and absolutely cranking up Zeppelin Whole Lot of Love … everyone should experience it at least once 👍, true meaning of great rock music!
John Bonham showed his genius in this song. He's been gone for a long time and is still a GOAT on the Drums.

This is a Muddy Waters song they arranged in their way. Happy Birthday!

Voted No. 1 Rock riff in history for a reason. You forget until you see someone react for the first time
Grew up with Zeppelin. Some of the best and most timeless music around..

From Baby boomer era though.

Zeppelin did a reunion tour with John Bonham son Jason who plays the drums just like his dad. This was the music of my youth. I still listen to it on vinyl
Don't forget Neil Rush's drummer.
Did you pick up of Jimmys new versions and some without vocal, there’s a very haunting version of “ In the Light” (Everybody Makes it Through)
They did a couple shows with Jason Bonham. They did not do a reunion tour.
Jimmy Page and that bow on the guitar strings.🤣 I remembered Zep being asked what this song was about, they all laughed and stated “Exactly What It Sounds Like and What The Lyrics Clearly Say!
I bought myself the Celebration Day video from Led Zeppelin for my last birthday! What an amazing concert that would have been! Wishing you the best on your day!
I remember the first time i heard this song.......I thought how are they going to top this!! Ive loved ZEPPELIN for as long as i can remember. BEST BAND EVER!!!
Happy Birthday!🎉
We were so spoiled musically in the 70’s. Didn’t even realize until lately.
Happy Birthday, Polo!!. This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song- but honestly I love them all and listen to them still, to this day. I'm 66, but feel 21 in my heart. I was lucky enough to see them at Riverfront in Cincinnati in the 70's❤❤
...must turn it up.... chills -- 55 years later...
Even Robert Plant plays an instrument
It's called "The Voice of the Gods"
He's the only one who knows how to play it
Best description of he’s amazing vocals, greatest range & tone of vocals ever.
and he is badass on the harmonica
@@satori03 yes he is, he really gets the bluesy sound on it. I wish he had played it more then he did though, not every song of course, just more.
He plays guitar too. And they all sing.
@@RockChick63174 he plays guitar more so for writing music.
“ Cooler than the other side of a pillow “ made me laugh sf hard! 🤣😂
Happy birthday baby, treat yourself nice and enjoy it all.
"He's cooler than the other side of the pillow!"😂 Is that an original? In 76 years, that's a first!❤ Hope all is well in the Land! It's where I saw Zeppelin in 1969! I may be old , but I got to see all the great bands!😊
The late great Stuart Scott of ESPN coined that phrase!
I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert…in THE 70’s! Nuff said.
Saw them 1970 w Ten Years After!
He died on me and I had tickets for Cleveland 1980. Was blessed to see Plant 3 times, Jimmy with the Firm , Jimmy and Robert in 95 !!!! ✊ your so 🍀
Saw them 3rd row in 77 NYC. Just wow!
I saw them in 1968, in a small club, before they got famous, just a few feet away.
This is one of their best jams! I've been listening to them since the 70s!😊
Well now it’s after Midnight, so Happy Birthday Sir.
Even after farrr to many decades of listening to LZ and this track , it still gives me chills
Master class from the best
Happy Birthday, Polo! Hope you have an amazing day. The line "I wanna be your back door man" is an old blues riff. The husband or regular boyfriend came in through the front door and the "lover" came in through the back door. I just love how much you love Led Zeppelin. The sound track of my life from the late '60s through the '70s, there was Yes, LZ, Pink Floyd, ELP, The Moody Blues, Genesis, Jethro Tull, etc. etc. and you are there digging all of it. It's a joy to watch you hear these amazing bands and songs for your first time. =)
Back door man in this context is not "the door"
@@Cchan53 Yes, it is. This is a KNOWN blues term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Door_Man#:~:text=5%20Sources-,Lyrics,before%20the%20husband%20comes%20home.
POLOOOOOO!!! Another great BREAKDOWN of ZEP! I'm so fortunate to have lived during THAT TIME, thru THIS TIME... To watch the youngsters react the same way wth amazement, that my generation did! BADASSARY IS LED ZEP!!🙄🤘
This song outraged so many parents back then.... I'm 58 and loved these guys since day 1. I have 2 older siblings, oneplayed Zepp, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc while the other was the Beatles, CCR, Cat Stevens etc..... I was SOOOOOO lucky!
58 here too. I have 4 older siblings, 2 liked Rock--thank God. I got a bit of everything. Have a killer Vinyl collection. One artist people skip a lot that I know we all loved back in the day was Linda Ronstadt. I really miss the pure, honest female vocals from that era.
@Missunderstood103 oh I agree! Some stellar female vocalists you just don't hear anymore
Takes me back to my youth in high school….great music!
Happy Birthday! 🎉 This is a great song to give to yourself! You cant go wrong with Led Zeppelin. "Don't tell me you've never got the Led out!?" - School of Rock.
I absolutely love this for you. Getting to experience Zepplin as an adult for the first time. Must be a boat load of chills for you man. Happy belated.
Happy Birthday man 🎉 mines coming up April. Going kayaking.
Led Zeppelin was my medicine through out my life.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 Hope you do go on your trip. Tennessee is a wonderful place for someone who enjoys music. Beautiful country to lay down a blanket and read a book under the beautiful sky, peaceful and majestic. At night go listen to some great music. God bless.
Happy Birthday & great review!! Led Zeppelin is mind blowing
Happy Birthday, Polo. Zep is always great. Nice reaction.
Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the legendary John Bonham. They defined rock and roll. Forever legends.
Those birthday plans sound like the best kind. I understand the desire to turn down the thoughts and read. Hope you get to enjoy doing that. Also, Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band since I found them late in 1978. Thank you.
Led Zeppelin is the GOAT!!!!! I saw them in concert back in the day and I will never ever forget that experience.
Happy birthday old mate.
My wife bought me tickets to see Suzi Quatro on the 23rd, my 70th birthday, haven't seen Suzi live since 1975.
You keep on rockin' Polo, I love what you do.
I saw Suzi about 5 years ago. She's still got it!
Happy birthday!! Seeing Led Zeppelin do this live in 1974 was life changing! I would put this as one of the top 5 Led Zeppelin songs.
I just want to make sure you Knew. Abbey road came out same year and beetle were doing ‘come together’ and ‘here comes the sun’ while the stones put out ‘gimme shelter’ and ‘you can’t always get what you want’ which are all great songs. But this is next level different and game changing. 1969. Wish I had been a teenager back then. My brother was only 1 and I was a wink in my father’s eye.
Exactly! They were so strong, different than anyone, powerful and with the series front man on vicals!!!
I love jamming in my car to LZ ! 68 & still rockin 💃🏻🎶
LOVE your reactions !
LZ the BEST !
Happiest of birthdays! Self care is a wonderful thing to gift to yourself! When you said read and go biking I was thinking wouldn't that be nice.... Here in the mountains of NH we had a snow storm and received a few inches of snow (we were already at flood stage before the snow.) In these mountains there is a 5th season (I didn't know that until I moved here 2 years ago) called Mud Season! Winter, Mud, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Hope you enjoy your birthday trip as much as you enjoy listening to great music!
Mud season's the best, not too cold, no traffic, no people and no bugs!
"back door man" is a blues reference. Hubby heads for work out the front door and lover comes in the back door....or runs out the back door when hubby comes home.
Happy, happy birthday, Polo! Always treat yourself! You are worth it. ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤
No one like Bonham!! RIP John! Greatest drummer!❤
🎂🎈✨🎈✨🎈🎉**Happy Birthday Polo**🎉🎈✨🎈✨🎈🎂
Happy Birthday!! Same day as my sista! How bout some Wanton Song by Zeppelin or anything by them! ❤
Many happy returns on your own personal holiday!
