Man, I just love how Robert Plant is able to go from whispering to yelling in a matter of seconds. I love this band so damn much. The energy in this song is insane and you can hear the passion, they had everything to prove in this album. 53 years later and it still sounds amazing!
Haha, yeah, i recall one critic said once something like that Plant's voice could be the sonic equivalent of a feather floating down to a sun-lit meadow, but then turn around and instantly freeze into silence a crowd of 20,000 with a single shout of "HEY!" GOATS, GOATS, GOATS.
I think it's difficult to convey what led zeppelin were trying to achieve. They were an extremely experimental band. Their music doesn't fit into any single rock genre and they are very protective of their music.
They were and still are my favorite rock band. They were very influenced by the gut bucket blues of the delta. Page and Plant were never ashamed to say that they were trying to make the music of their heroes!
As I just turned 69 ,I sit here watching you love this, I remember myself sitting on my bed in my room with black light, headphones on and rocking to Zeppelin 🥰🥰🥰. Who would've thought this many years later I'd be watching younger generation enjoying what I did as a teen❤️❤️❤️. Great reaction
must be a theme,gonna be 69 in march!iwas dumbfounded when i first heard this song and album,still am! greatest first album by any band ever,so far ahead of everyone else. nothing touches them even in 2022
I'm 51, but I get what you mean, raised my four children [now all adults] on the music I grew up on, love when I hear them jamming to LZ, Pink Floyd, Stones, etc...makes this mama proud.😁😭
And this was from their first album, when they were just starting out on their musical odyssey, nobody knew if there was more to come from them after this album. This song hits different, it's so accomplished in its structure and delivery and is an early masterpiece from a group that would go on to become behemoths in the world of rock. They were a one off and we haven't heard their equal since.
I was 18 years old in 1969 when this came out. This was their first album and it totally blew me away. The whole album is a masterpiece. PS just got to say thanks for all the smiles you've put on my face over the last year or so. Been fun to watch you too experience the music of my youth. Peace
I was 17 and I saw them live in the summer of '69 at an amusement park 'Pirate's World' in Dania, FL. They performed this song and others from this album. I can still remember hearing this song early in the morning in the Senior parking lot, car doors open and radios turned up to 11.
When I brought this home and played it the first time in my bedroom, my Mum who was of the Glenn Miller generation, literally WW2 music, always convinced I just listened to loud incomprehensible music. stood outside my bedroom door and listened to the WHOLE ALBUM; when it was done, she poked her head around the door and said "Who was THAT?"; I said "Led Zeppelin".......she said "They are very very good!"........praise indeed!
Your mom had great taste in music. I was orphaned by my WW2 era parents an resided by my sister. She played such a variety of music. I learned to love it all. Especially Led Zeppelin and 60’s 70’s music. Big hugs to you from Alaska.
@@pattyandersen5516 so good to share, it’s importance cannot be understated, I’m so sorry you were orphaned although with God you’re never really an orphan in the truest sense…..Zeppelin had a sense of nostalgia in their music, as well as allusions to Tolkien and their sounds draw in people from every era, every genre of music; God bless you in every way, I’d love to visit Alaska, from what I see it’s a beautiful place if wilder than most parts of the world!! Hugs back!
That's amazing! My parents are also from that time. I was lucky enough to grow up with awide variety of music and enjoy their music, as well as my fav band, Led Zeppelin. BTW, I love Glenn Miller's music. Moonlight Serenade.
it's not the tempo that changes, this song is at one basic tempo, about 140 beats per minute, almost from start to finish, it's Zeppelin's ability to swing the dynamics from quiet gentle and acoustic to the loudest heaviest rock so easily, that sets LZ apart. It's a feature of most of their best songs.
A lot of people have a natural tendency to count half time when quiet, then straight time at the build. Half time I clocked at 68, 136 straight. Just elaborating on your comment, which I really enjoyed seeing here as a call out
I first heard this song in the late 1960's. It was the first Zeppelin song I ever heard. I was blown away. I did not have the money to buy the album and I did not get my allowance until the end of the month. I had to have that album, so I ended up washing and waxing my dad's car for $2.OO and made up the difference of 60 cents with my own money. Over the next week I wore that album out. Even today I will sit down and listen to that album, beginning to end, and I'am still amazed.
I never know if I should be envious of you guys for getting to discover all this great music for the first time, or grateful that I"ve been around to know it firsthand. 🙂
This is a great song (they had so many). However, I’ll go to my grave saying that “the rain song” by them, is one of the most underrated masterpieces ever. From the lyrics to the music. It’s. Just. Beautiful. As always. Great react.
It would be hard for me to pick a favorite Zep song, but The Rain Song is definitely a strong contender, along with Since I've Been Loving You. Sorry, Stairway doesn't make the top 5, though I love them all. Most under rated album, and a favorite? Presnce.
This is based on a folk song that Joan Baez covered, so folk is the main input here, and Zeppelin made the song about double in length by adding the hard rock instrumentals. Before the band formed, Jimmy Page used to play this song during his own private time, and it's a song he brought to their first album, along with "Dazed and Confused." Also on this debut album is "Good Times Bad Times."
Believe it or not, this is your SIXTEENTH Zep song, putting them in a tie with Queen for your most-reacted-to band. I nominate "The Ocean" for your next stop on the LZ road.
Just imagine being 15 years old buying this Led Zeppelin debut record in 1969. It stands up so well over all my life and remains my favorite of their LP's because it is such a great bluesy rock album that just changed the landscape. Wonderful reaction, thank you both!
Robert has the soul in his voice and the instruments are magic. Close my eyes and I escape! What sad and emotional lyrics. I always cry.... They do it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When a older friend of mine took me to see Led Zeppelin in the summer of 1969 ,I had just graduated from high school..At Milwaukee county Stadium, on a summer night for under 10dollars..I was never the same..True story. 🎶😎
That whole first album was a shock to the music world and energized the high school and college scenes, setting them up for all that was to come. Great song, that whole side burned into your soul the first time you heard it when it came out. More Zeppelin, please, try the Wanton Song, it is the Hammer of the Gods! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This whole album is a masterpiece. Maybe the best debut ever. This song is a seamless mashup of blues, rock and roll, and Celtic folk. This combination is what gave their music a greater depth than their blues based rock contemporaries. Robert Plant’s vocal on this gives me goosebumps. This song also showcases Jimmy Pages unique guitar abilities. There are soloists, pickers, and chord players. Page is that unique beast who is highly accomplished at all three. Love this band.
My daughter is 30 and she has loved Zeppelin since she was a little kid thanks to her dad and I! They are one of the if not the greatest band ever!!!!! So many great songs to pick one! They are all equally great!
Now that’s good parenting…. I did same with our kids…& now grandkids…. Zeppelin…..absolutely unequalled…best band ever. So happy got to experience them in real time!!! Right from the beginning….badass goats!!!!
Between 1967-1977 I don’t think our Generation realized just how good we had it Musically. And then Greedy Record companies and clueless Radio programmers started focusing more on just how much Money they could make and less on the Music itself until little by little they Ruined the whole Damn thing. So now it’s up to Awesome channels like yours to get it all heading back in the Right Direction. So Thank You for doing what you do. Y’all are providing a Great service and doing a Fantastic Job!
Thats my theory too. these reaction channels are great for the younger generation -- allowing them to bypass music the record industry (and peer pressure) tells them to listen to and opens up a whole wide world of alternative sounds
I was born in 1975, and Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was 5 (1980-when John Bonham died and they disbanded). I have their symbols tattooed on my arm. I really love seeing others discover and enjoy them.
One of their greatest song covers. They totally changed it up completely from the original. The vocals on this song are amazing and the instruments lead you on a trip you'll want to take over and over.The whole album is Outstanding.🎶🎶🎶 Sadly the man is movin on. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Can't call this a cover. It is so musically different than Baez. Musically on a higher plane and arrangement than she could've dreamed, and certainly the simplistic original.
@@redpine8665 What? Joan Baez performed a cover. It was not her song. It was Anne Bredon. It was performed by a few artists before Baez performed it. There were many other covers after Baez before Zeppelin got it. It has multiple different arrangements, just like “When the Levee Breaks.”
One of my fave LZ tracks! 👍 I also love "No Quarter", "Kashmir", "Whole Lotta Love", "Achilles Last Stand", "Dazed & Confused", "Since I've Been Loving You"....they're ALL masterpieces! Those guys came together through divine intervention, I'm sure of it!
I refuse to speak about the song itself, but watching her just immerse herself in the music and groove was a treat. Discovering great bands and great songs is a simple and universal pleasure.
I was 16 when this came out. i would pick up the needle on the record player and put it back to this song. My dad said if he heard it one more time he would smash the record!
I absolutely love you both! I was a child of the 60's and 70's, and you both would have fit in perfectly in those times! We were all trying to change all the bad things back then. I was a teenager living in England at that time, and all music was universe driven! You make me revisit my youth with your enthusiasm! Thank you so much!
The Beatles in the 1960s and Led Zeppelin in the 1970s were both such unbelievable influences on my life. Each band held astonishing genius. Who was better? That can be debated forever and it would be a fun debate!
Zeppelin recorded a LOT of songs and albums, but I constantly keep going back to their first as being possibly the most pure as it was untainted by any of the wild success they had later. Blues and Folk was always present in their songs, but it was the foundation of that first album.
Yup your right Jordan, she was probably reading your mind on some level. Amber follows the way of the spirit, and following the flow of music is where the spirit hovers.
One of the pleasures I get from your reactions is the way the music reaches so deep into Amber's soul. Amber, you have a unique ability to feel music as much with your heart as with your ears. I'm sure you were a hippie in a past life. Keep up the good work, guys! Cheers....
The honey and I have a shared phrase-Amber’s gone! You can see the point where she slips the confines of the world, and soars off momentarily to realms unknown.
Not too shabby for a song from a debut album! It was just gonna get better and better. It was truly heartwarming to bump into a millennial at the grocery store with his son in the cart , wearing his Led Zeppelin shirt, and the expression on his face when he saw that I was wearing one, too!
Think about this...a large population of people feeling this music the same way you did whether on the radio, vinyl...it was an era where music shaped a positive perspective on life.
You really get the emotions he's going through. He wants to leave her, then he will never never leave her.... Back and forth. A real masterpiece in delivery.
This was originally a folk song written by Annie Bredon, and covered in the 60's by folk singer Joan Baez... Robert Plant & Jimmy Page were big fans of Joan Baez. In 1968, when Led Zeppelin first got together, they didn't have enough original songs for the first record... so they covered "Babe I'm gonna leave you" w/ re-arrangements - Robert Plant adding some lyrics and Jimmy Page giving the track a heavy riff w/ John Bonham's pounding drums. It became a stellar classic 🤘🤘🔥🔥
I grew up in the 80s with parents who listened to The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Michael Jackson, CCR, Led Zepplin, The Stones... I like many other genres but this stuff is my home. Close to my heart. Thanks for the reaction!
There will Never be another band like Led Zeppelin. You 2 need to purchase each and every Led Zeppelin album or cd. And just listen to them from number one to CODA. And being high puts you in the best mood for them.
Truly one to be thought of as 'their best'! Remember that this was only the second song on their first album...for many people it was their first intro to Zeppelin. My favorite thing is the end, where they proceed to slow it down and 'put the song to bed'. True genius!
That really touched me that you enjoyed that so much. I'm tearing up lol. I think I sometimes forget this is one of my favorite Zep songs. But of course, that's because they are my favorite band of all time, and there are just SO many masterpieces. I really enjoyed listening to this with you guys tonight. Thank you. Love you. I'm pretty sure you haven't done my personal favorite Zep song, because I'd remember it. None of my reactors ever do it. "Misty Mountain Hop". You would make my whole day if you ever decide to do that one.
I have so many Led Zeppelin favorites. They’re just that great! Heartbreaker / Living Loving maid , Black Dog, No Quarter, Communication breakdown, Over the hills & far away. I can go on & on….
You truly owe it yourselves to listen to that album start to finish, re-act or not, it is mindblowing, I was 14/15 at the time, Air Force brat living in Hawaii...and THIS comes along! lol
Agreed! Though I'd add that Heart did a cover of Rock and Roll that in my opinion is even better than LZ's. I recognize that tastes differ and many may consider this sacrilege. That's fine - not here to make anybody angry. If you've never heard it though, y'all should give it a listen. It was included on one of Heart's Greatest Hits records for a reason.
Impossible to tell Led zeps best song. The group was just perfect. They influence is huge. If you just hear dazed and confused 25 min session, Jimmy page played all the rock guitare that could be done for the next 5 decades. All the members are in another league.
John Bonham is soooo in the pocket with his drumming on this song. I love Plant's vocals but when Bonzo comes in on the drums it's everything. Great reaction.
Their first album was just one mind-blowing song after another. It was amazing on my first listen, with one great song and then another and another and another...
Great reaction! This song is brilliant! Robert Plant has said that his favorite vocal performance was the studio version of Since I’ve Been Loving You off Zeppelin III… another masterpiece. Jay reacted to the live version (also great but not as good as the studio version) about a year ago but I would definitely check out the studio version if you want to be blown away… Just saying 😉
I too was 18 years old in 1969 & bought this album straight away on release. I was stunned. For me it is still the best of their albums & this probably the best tune on that album. I believe it is the blues influence at work. It is such a pleasure seeing it work on you.
My favorite song from Led Zeppelin hands down is Hey Hey What Can I Do. That’s really something considering this song was on a B-side. Wasn’t put on an album until they put out their first boxset in the 90’s.
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - Over the Hills and Far Away - Dyer Maker (Island Feel) - Rock n Roll - All of my Love (song after his young son passed away) - Immigrant Song - When the Levee Breaks - The Ocean - Ramble On - Black Dog
Man, I just love how Robert Plant is able to go from whispering to yelling in a matter of seconds. I love this band so damn much. The energy in this song is insane and you can hear the passion, they had everything to prove in this album. 53 years later and it still sounds amazing!

The most over looked like element is Jones on Bass holding it all together.
One of my favorites. Sang it to every guy I ever dated. Including my husband of over 40 years.

Just turned 69 too and I did the same thing. Those were the best of times. Glad I was there to see all the incredible music happen in real time.

My alarm clock was this song but I woke my 3 kids up with Whole Lotta Love pumped through my 80s Pioneers that shook the house, lol
Turning 60 and partied hard to this back in the day
This, on a very longs list, is why Led Zepplin is considered the greatest rock band of all time.
And this was from their first album, when they were just starting out on their musical odyssey, nobody knew if there was more to come from them after this album. This song hits different, it's so accomplished in its structure and delivery and is an early masterpiece from a group that would go on to become behemoths in the world of rock.

And Robert n Bonzo were like 18-19 when this was recorded
CS&C - Sooooo true so true!
@@Bear78420 so was Page
@@Bear78420 Nope. Both were already 20.
I believe Jimmy Page was Born in 1944 and Bonzo and Plant Born in 1948!
How can anybody doubt this is the best band ever? Undisputed heavyweight world champions.
I was 18 years old in 1969 when this came out. This was their first album and it totally blew me away. The whole album is a masterpiece. PS just got to say thanks for all the smiles you've put on my face over the last year or so. Been fun to watch you too experience the music of my youth. Peace
I was 17 and I second that!
I'm with you brother. These were the days we got to experience first hand ✋️
Hey so was LZ lol
I was only 10 and I loved it. Lol
I was 17 and I saw them live in the summer of '69 at an amusement park 'Pirate's World' in Dania, FL. They performed this song and others from this album. I can still remember hearing this song early in the morning in the Senior parking lot, car doors open and radios turned up to 11.
When I brought this home and played it the first time in my bedroom, my Mum who was of the Glenn Miller generation, literally WW2 music, always convinced I just listened to loud incomprehensible music. stood outside my bedroom door and listened to the WHOLE ALBUM; when it was done, she poked her head around the door and said "Who was THAT?"; I said "Led Zeppelin".......she said "They are very very good!"........praise indeed!

That's amazing! My parents are also from that time. I was lucky enough to grow up with awide variety of music and enjoy their music, as well as my fav band, Led Zeppelin. BTW, I love Glenn Miller's music. Moonlight Serenade.
My favorite band of all time
Love the way Amber feels the music
She is such a late 60's rocker!
it's not the tempo that changes, this song is at one basic tempo, about 140 beats per minute, almost from start to finish, it's Zeppelin's ability to swing the dynamics from quiet gentle and acoustic to the loudest heaviest rock so easily, that sets LZ apart. It's a feature of most of their best songs.
A lot of people have a natural tendency to count half time when quiet, then straight time at the build. Half time I clocked at 68, 136 straight. Just elaborating on your comment, which I really enjoyed seeing here as a call out
Dynamics! One of the most overlooked, yet important aspects of music. Good music, that is... ❤️🤘🏼
When the drums enter it’s always double time
The tune is slow 2, the chorus is quick 4
Watch their heads nod… it shows you
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.
Hi B , l know it sounds strange, but l think of Zep as a variety band...they can play anything...best wishes...
This masterpiece is the perfect example of the true greatness of this band!! 🎶There will NEVER be another Led Zeppelin!!🎵💜🎸🎶
I became a Zeppelin fan when this first album came and I'm still a huge fan
Not just their best, but best by any artist ever in the history of music.

I’m the same!! I miss the newness but loving the familiarity
First Hand growing up listening to the greatest music 🎶🎸🎶
First hand is always better!
I will never get enough of Zeppelin!
70 year old Brit here and got to say Whole lot of Love is number one from this iconic band. Thanks for bringing back such good memories
This is a great song (they had so many). However, I’ll go to my grave saying that “the rain song” by them, is one of the most underrated masterpieces ever. From the lyrics to the music. It’s. Just. Beautiful.

Ur not wrong. That debate is an epic one. BUT... The Beach Boys were just as influential to 60s rock as The Beatles.
Pink Floyd
Zeppelin recorded a LOT of songs and albums, but I constantly keep going back to their first as being possibly the most pure as it was untainted by any of the wild success they had later. Blues and Folk was always present in their songs, but it was the foundation of that first album.
💯 so🚀
This is arguably my favorite song of theirs that I've seen them perform live. So much energy and emotion. So good.
agreed
This one takes you all over. It's crazy this was from their 1st album when they were still finding their feet.
that whole debut album.
Yup your right Jordan, she was probably reading your mind on some level. Amber follows the way of the spirit, and following the flow of music is where the spirit hovers.
Saw them 5 times. They were so good live I can't even explain it. Lucky me. I'm old 64 but lucky I got to experience them. ✌🌻🌻
They did EVERYTHING perfectly!!
Can't beat Led Zeppelin! Greatest band in the universe IMO.
Heartbreaker\Livin 'Lovin Maid is my fave
Lindsey Stirling - A River Flows in You
One of my favorites, it’s a roller coaster 🎢
One of the pleasures I get from your reactions is the way the music reaches so deep into Amber's soul. Amber, you have a unique ability to feel music as much with your heart as with your ears. I'm sure you were a hippie in a past life. Keep up the good work, guys! Cheers....
The honey and I have a shared phrase-Amber’s gone! You can see the point where she slips the confines of the world, and soars off momentarily to realms unknown.
To me this band has so many good songs - just one after another. You could call so many of them masterpieces 👍
Not too shabby for a song from a debut album! It was just gonna get better and better. It was truly heartwarming to bump into a millennial at the grocery store with his son in the cart , wearing his Led Zeppelin shirt, and the expression on his face when he saw that I was wearing one, too!
Top trumps. I am 75yrs old! Following Led Zepp since the first album was brought out. Just as incredible as ever!
Led Zeppelin have a lot of songs from every genre, not a bad song in the bunch ( amazing)
Think about this...a large population of people feeling this music the same way you did whether on the radio, vinyl...it was an era where music shaped a positive perspective on life.
You really get the emotions he's going through. He wants to leave her, then he will never never leave her.... Back and forth. A real masterpiece in delivery.
I grew up to led zeppelin song and all or the best song... 👌
Led Zeppelin 1 is a masterpiece
This was originally a folk song written by Annie Bredon, and covered in the 60's by folk singer Joan Baez... Robert Plant & Jimmy Page were big fans of Joan Baez. In 1968, when Led Zeppelin first got together, they didn't have enough original songs for the first record... so they covered "Babe I'm gonna leave you" w/ re-arrangements - Robert Plant adding some lyrics and Jimmy Page giving the track a heavy riff w/ John Bonham's pounding drums. It became a stellar classic 🤘🤘🔥🔥
I grew up in the 80s with parents who listened to The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Michael Jackson, CCR, Led Zepplin, The Stones... I like many other genres but this stuff is my home. Close to my heart. Thanks for the reaction!
There will Never be another band like Led Zeppelin. You 2 need to purchase each and every Led Zeppelin album or cd. And just listen to them from number one to CODA. And being high puts you in the best mood for them.
Exactly right this song is a masterpiece, the entire album is one of their best, I just love Led Zeppelin
Truly one to be thought of as 'their best'! Remember that this was only the second song on their first album...for many people it was their first intro to Zeppelin. My favorite thing is the end, where they proceed to slow it down and 'put the song to bed'. True genius!
That really touched me that you enjoyed that so much. I'm tearing up lol. I think I sometimes forget this is one of my favorite Zep songs. But of course, that's because they are my favorite band of all time, and there are just SO many masterpieces. I really enjoyed listening to this with you guys tonight. Thank you. Love you. I'm pretty sure you haven't done my personal favorite Zep song, because I'd remember it. None of my reactors ever do it. "Misty Mountain Hop". You would make my whole day if you ever decide to do that one.
I'm gonna crawl Led Zeppelin one of their best
plant and Bonham were only 19 when they recorded this
My fav Led Zeppelin song? The first two albums.
Hah, good one! Or TWO!
I have so many Led Zeppelin favorites. They’re just that great! Heartbreaker / Living Loving maid , Black Dog, No Quarter, Communication breakdown, Over the hills & far away. I can go on & on….
You truly owe it yourselves to listen to that album start to finish, re-act or not, it is mindblowing, I was 14/15 at the time, Air Force brat living in Hawaii...and THIS comes along! lol
This is definitely my favorite of theirs. You still haven't listened to Led Zeppelin's signature song, Rock and Roll!
Agreed! Though I'd add that Heart did a cover of Rock and Roll that in my opinion is even better than LZ's. I recognize that tastes differ and many may consider this sacrilege. That's fine - not here to make anybody angry. If you've never heard it though, y'all should give it a listen. It was included on one of Heart's Greatest Hits records for a reason.
@@popsmcgee9775 yes, Greatest Hits/Live, I remember it well. Ann has one of the best female voices in rock history, in my opinion.
What a trip, eh? Been listening to this for decades, never gets old.
Impossible to tell Led zeps best song. The group was just perfect. They influence is huge. If you just hear dazed and confused 25 min session, Jimmy page played all the rock guitare that could be done for the next 5 decades. All the members are in another league.
So true
The best Led Zepelin song is the one you are listening to. And then the next one after that is the best Led Zeppelin song and so on.
A perfect song. Such raw emotion and in my opinion the greatest vocal ever in a rock song.
I've been enjoying their music for most of my 60yrs on this planet, and they just seem to sound better each time I listen to them
Me, too!!!
This is definitely one of their best. Great White covers this song live and it’s also fantastic.
You should try Gallows Pole and Battle of Evermore. Different offerings from Zep
This is master work by Jimmy.....that guitar is so breathtaking.
John Bonham is soooo in the pocket with his drumming on this song. I love Plant's vocals but when Bonzo comes in on the drums it's everything. Great reaction.
Their first album was just one mind-blowing song after another. It was amazing on my first listen, with one great song and then another and another and another...
For me personally the best debut album of any group. Pearl Jam's debut was easily the best of the 80s/90s
Yes!! It is a masterpiece!! Zeppelin really is awesome !! Love Zep’s acoustic! My fav!!!!
The second half of the one-two punch on Zep 1 - just knocked me out - STILL does!
Great reaction! This song is brilliant! Robert Plant has said that his favorite vocal performance was the studio version of Since I’ve Been Loving You off Zeppelin III… another masterpiece. Jay reacted to the live version (also great but not as good as the studio version) about a year ago but I would definitely check out the studio version if you want to be blown away… Just saying 😉
This and Since I’ve Been Loving You plus No Quarter are my 3 favs of theirs
I’m always amazed at the lyrics of this song. There is only 2-3 dozen different words but it’s the way he SINGS them. Such emotion!
IMO this their First Album still Blows me Away! I think it's their BEST ! ...Newk from Kentucky
The greatest rock band of ALL time! Two songs I don’t think you’ve reacted to yet but should are “Bring it on Home” and “Thank You”
I too was 18 years old in 1969 & bought this album straight away on release. I was stunned. For me it is still the best of their albums & this probably the best tune on that album. I believe it is the blues influence at work. It is such a pleasure seeing it work on you.
by the way, the intro to the following track is so sweet after that fade, gotta be heard together.
Robert's vocals on this song are incredible! This is one of my all-time Zeppelin favorites.
The tempo changes are bang on, a single beat.
My favorite song from Led Zeppelin hands down is Hey Hey What Can I Do. That’s really something considering this song was on a B-side. Wasn’t put on an album until they put out their first boxset in the 90’s.
I bought that box set for that and travelling riverside blues
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - Over the Hills and Far Away - Dyer Maker (Island Feel) - Rock n Roll - All of my Love (song after his young son passed away) - Immigrant Song - When the Levee Breaks - The Ocean - Ramble On - Black Dog
