I saw Led Zeppelin in 1977. When they sang this song towards the end, Robert Plant was so loud it actually hurt my ears. But I’ll never forget it, I was 15 years old at the time, and seven of us packed into my friends Cadillac, who was 16. It was a teenage quest that will forever be part of me.
I saw them live at Tampa stadium, Tampa, fla. 😎😁
That performance is pretty much musical perfection - all four of them are flawless. It never gets old.
No it does not
If you think this - or *_ANY_* official Led Zeppelin "live" recording - is Led Zeppelin simply playing a song live, from start to finish, then I have a bridge you might like to buy. Parts of this video were shot in a studio, the song is massively spliced and edited from 3 different versions, played on 3 different nights, and includes vocal and guitar studio overdubs. The *_ONLY_* way to actually hear Led Zeppelin playing a song live is a bootleg. Maybe, after Jimmy Page dies, we might get some official releases, but not while he's alive...
When Jimmy Page wrote the song from the outset he wanted a song that would start soft and build in intensity as the song progressed I think he achieved that big time
And, as he explained himself, that intentionally speeds up over its duration - which is usually avoided when changing dynamics
Plant wrote it as much if not more than page.
@@Darrenski I think jimmy page came up with the arrangement. While plant wrote the lyrics
@@jadenbrown8822 That's as Jimmy Page tells it 👍
Really? Jimmy Page stumbling like a drunk twat over a daft stage guitar that he never used on the album whilst having at least the content of a full carload of colombian wacky dust up each nostril.. At least in recordings, they were banned from the studio if they were totally winkered, and Page certainly was for the entirety of that tour.. I would say it's the worst version of a short and over-hyped guitar solo..
I've met Rob Plant in my local Co Op supermarket, he was looking at the Classic Rock magazine, wasn't impressed because his Band of Joy album had just come out, and he said to me look at that, he has being with us all week eating our food and drinking our beer and he has slated my album, he then said I'll get him or words to that effect 😉😂 he lives five miles up the road from me, such a genuine guy, not up his own ass like a lot of them, been known in the pub after a few beers to get up on stage and sing, and when he heard about a little lad with brain cancer in the town, he arranged a concert straightaway, Having this played at my funeral. 🤘😎🎸💀✊
We will never see the stage presence of Robert and Jimmy again , Bonzo and John Paul absolutely driving it from the back ,best band of all time.
On a beautiful Spring night in June of 1969 I saw Led Zeppelin perform at Meriweather Post Pavilion near Washington, DC. I and the rest of the audience had never experienced such a great performance. I was 19 and Robert Plant would have been 20. Young band on their first U.S. tour. After the concert I got on my motorcycle to leave. I was dressed in the fashion of the day. Blue jean bell bottoms and a denim vest with no shirt. A pretty "worked up" (and you know why) young lady came to me and put her hand on my chest and her face in mine and with a breathy whisper said "I wanna go for a ride". "Sure Sweetheart. Hop on!" She swung a leg over my bike and then some guy yelled "What in the hell are you doing??!!" "Going for a ride". "Hell no you're not!" He snatched her off the bike and away she went. Oh well, easy come easy go. Beautiful but lonely ride back to D.C. that night.
And Merriweather didn't even have a fence then, I worked security there for 5 years
I was 17 at that show. It was the first rock concert. I took myself to see.
All of my love, song he wrote for his little boy who passed away, song writing perfection ❤
You are a true rock chic sweetheart.
I'm an old rock drummer and I remember a time when there were so many beautiful girls like you who were emotionally invested in great music.
There are few around these days and most listen to computerized generic crap.
So glad you and others like you are still around to keep the passion and love alive.
Lots of love from the land of great music.
✌️♥️🇬🇧
Old man yells at cloud
@@mattopgenorth4897 But he's right.
As a life long guitar player/singer/keyboardist I totally agree. Love you Aileen. Thanks for the energy and love.
@@mattopgenorth4897old man has taste and remembers what real music sounds like.
While I agree that music from before was (obviously) much better, criticizing new ways of making music only leaves you like a resentful dinosaur. Before in some countries it was not so easy to stand out, today, thanks to a computer, a child can do what he likes and make a living from it... you can like it or not, obviously, but that's what tastes are for, there are an infinite variety of music and artists that you can choose from... that's the key, choose... you can choose, why belittle those you don't like and cry thinking about your golden years instead of listening to what you do like ? senile.
It's mystical in quality. They were probably the most mystical of the bands that made it really big. The song has a basic meaning, but the deeper meaning is elusive.
On the other hand, the deepest meaning is the sound and how it enters the back of the brain instantly, without any need for explanation.
And that is the most direct meaning that can be.
Now that you've seen this you need Ann and Nancy Wilson at the Kennedy Center Honors doing this in tribute with the surviving members of Led Zeppelin in the audience.
the Full version and not the Cut for TV short version.
@@artsilva This version ruclips.net/video/AAsUq2aIyr8/видео.html&ab_channel=annikapc
Yes it was the best cover ever done
@@Musicmanrobert it's not a cover it's a tribute, there is a difference. And heart has been performing the song for many many years. Long before the Kennedy honors. That's why they were the ones performing Stairway. They actually patterned their style after Led Zeppelin.
Yes I know
In 2007, after 27 years, they did a concert together again "Celebrations Day", 40 million ticket requests, but unfortunately only 20,000 seats in the O2 Arena in London with Bonzo's son on the drums. Legendary. Look at them even at 60 years old rocked
oh yes....the whole thing....but, especially Kashmir.... oh my god!!!!
I'll always say Led Zep compares with the odds of winning the lottery. That these four guys came together is absolutely incredible!!
Definitely respect reacting to the live version, Led Zeppelin always puts on a great show 😂 I recommend checking out the studio version of this song the guitar solo towards the end comes in a lot clearer and smoother. Always enjoy it when my favorite bands gets some love, thank you so much for keeping the classics alive!
Not really. Sometimes they were too high or too drunk to put on a great show. 🤣 😂
I think first ever listens should nearly always be to the studio version as then you can hear and fully appreciate the improvisations in the live versions.
I definitely prefer the studio version
@@LordRahl1975 I agree the studio versions are definitive, and usually better, despite the live embellishments and extended jams. But I also respect why Aileen often prefers to react to live first - there's nothing like the electricity of live, and actually seeing them perform. It's just a trade-off.
@timothy1386
Not at their peak. Zeppelin's drug or drink issues only occurred (rarely) in the later years. 80% of their gigs were 1969-1973 and they were unmatched as a live force during this period.
The 1977 American tour was where most of the problems were. That was not indicative of their career as a whole.
They did NINE American tours between end of 1968 and summer 1973 and earned a formidable reputation as the best and most popular live act.
And screw any Who or Deep Purple nutters who want to try and claim otherwise. Zeppelin were on a whole different level.
Aileen. Meet the kings of Classic R & R and one of the top Rock and Roll songs of all time. We loved a little Led for the head in the 1970's and we still love em today. It is super wicked cool to watch your discovery of our generations music. We like how you are on this journey of expanding your musical horizons. We love you, too, Aileen. Big shoutout from this old, longhaired hippy dude in East Tennessee. Much peace, love, and happiness to you and yours. See ya on the next. Later, Love.
Hard to believe that this was 50 years ago.
Half a century and still unbeatable.
Yes, true story.
It's really nice to see people listening to what real music was back in the day...Led Zeppelin are in their own category...I mean they are the GOAT of Rock....no one's voice can even compare to plants. Page's riffs the whole band is awesome....I'm just glad that I could see half the band in concert back in I think 95 the page n plant tour...by far thd best rock concert I've ever been to....
I've carried this song for over 50yrs as my fave. I saw them live in 1973. If I happen to come down w/dementia (God forbid) I hope to never forget this wonderful memory.😊😊
Possibly the only song I can listen to that actually gives me chills. It's so perfect, in every respect, lyrics, arrangement, vocals, literally everything.
Back in the day, me & my friends listened to a rock station, WDRC from Hartford, Connecticut. Every night from 11:53 to midnight they played Stairway. It was like our national anthem & a great way to end the day & remember laughter.
Reminds me of a meme:
A man talking to an alien says, "Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in the world."
The alien replies, "No my son, Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in the universe."
Aileen, love your reactions to Zep & encourage you to dig deeper in to Zep's phenomenal catalog.
I don't think we'll ever see again an era where gods roamed the earth & their music was magic.
We had a radio station in Tampa, Fla. (I think is was 97.1 not sure) that played stairway for 24 hours on New Year Day in 1991. They called themselves the all Led Zeppelin station. Then ZZTop, Aerosmith, Van Halen, ect got added in after a few days of non stop Led Zeppelin songs. Maybe the station manager was on vacation in Nepal or something.
The talent they had together live back during their peak was almost a telepathy. Simply incredible.
Old masterpiece ! I remember seeing them in concert in 71 when I got out of the Marine Corp. It was an experience I have never forgotten.. They always sounded as good or better than their albums. Remember this back then, there was no auto-tune etc. Just pure talent.
back in the 70's i was living in the SF bay area, and it being a major concert tour stop so I got to see *ALL THE GREAT ROCK BANDS LIVE AND IN THEIR PRIME!*
So smart of you to push up these sort of reacts given how legendary these songs are!! I can’t wait for you to hear that iconic *riff* from this song 😭 So many classic Led Zeppelin songs to come!
You should check out the newer band "Greta Van fleet". These very talented younger guys started out as a Zeppelin cover band and now have a full catalog of their own very Good music. They hit the music scene several years ago, opening for some very huge artists, like Bob seager, Metallica, Elton John. Etc. They are now filling arenas on their own.
I Agree❤
I just love watching Aileen reacting to all these classics. She’s just so natural not ashamed to show what she’s genuinely feeling. We could all just watch n listen to her. Love it ❤️❤️❤️
"The Rain Song" Live version is beautiful as well!
These bands were so ahead of their time it's going on 50 years now and their music is still talked about and influenced by so many
The Band is also worth looking into. The are not only a fantastic unique group but at that 60s early 70s but connected to all the famous singer, song writers.
Aileen your never to late for the Zeppelin machine. Love your facial expressions them seem very genuine. There entire catalog is gold. You are right most every up and coming bands have been influenced by this phenomenon band.. There is a reason why Zeppelin is considered one of the greatest bands of all time. Thank you for being so honest with your reactions love you keep up the great work❤❤❤❤
The way I describe Robert Plant is a Sensual Stage General. His Rock Soldiers are amazingly talented as well. Such an awesome experience! Nothing like live Led Zeppelin. ❤😊
I appreciate how much you like Led Zeppelin and it would've been fun to hear them live back at their peak.
That said, a lot of their music was driven by the times in which they found themselves.
For instance, this song actually exists as a reaction to a lot of things going on in the world in the 1960s and '70s, and those times were even more troubled than today.
Robert Plant and the rest of the members of Led Zepplin were born to people who had grown up during the Great Depression and then fought the worst war in human history.
By the end of that war, a lot of them focused on making up for a decade of deprivation and years of fear and loss.
So, they bought houses in suburbs and cars to allow them to commute to work, and big color TVs, and they made all the women leave the assembly-lines where they'd accomplished so much.
They also sent their children to die in Vietnam; many reacted with bitter, violent resentment to the Civil Rights Movement and the Sexual Revolution; and a lot of them did everything they could to keep their Baby Boomer children from changing the world.
In response, those Baby Boomer children started to question -- and then reject -- a lot of their parents' values, and that brings us to this song.
Stairway to Heaven offers a metaphorical story that involves three characters, right?
The first is, "...the Lady who's sure..." who wants all the material things the world has to offer -- nice clothes, a beautiful home, a fancy car, bling.
To her, the way to happiness is to have a lot of money and "nice stuff"; because Heaven can be *purchased* .
The second is the "...they Lady we all know... who shines white light...."
She represents a more spiritual existence of inner peace and harmony, in fellowship with others -- a truly enlightened life.
The way to shift from one path to the other is found by following the third character, the "Piper who's calling us to join him."
That piper is the Greek god Pan, lord of the forest and player of the pan-pipes, who allows people to surrender their inhibitions and get in touch with their more natural selves.
In other words, the path from a shallow, material existence to a more fulfilling, spiritual one, requires one to get back in touch with the natural world, and not get so distracted by all the "stuff" everyone is *supposed* to want.
Only if people "change the road" they're on, can they live a spiritual life of cool, calm, inner stillness -- "to be a rock, and not to roll."
So, the creation of that song came from Plant's experience as someone who lived in a terribly troubled time.
You are smart, sweet and truly beautiful -- *and* as a woman of color you'd have found the world of 50-55 years ago a much more difficult and challenging place than it is, now, in ways I think you'd have trouble imagining.
Led Zeppelin's music will always be around for us to enjoy and draw inspiration from, but it's best to live and work *today* for a better world, tomorrow.
The keyboard John Paul Jones is playing in this song is called a Mellotron. Famous songs that include the Mellotron are strawberry fields forever, space oddity David Bowie, and Gansters paradise Coolio believe it or not lol. Very versatile I must say. 🎹 Quick edit also he's playing I believe his Hammond C3 in this .
The alchemy in that band was unmatched! The stars aligned when Jimmy put the band together!!! Good commentary, Aileen!!
Alchemy?
@@Arti_The_Great Absolutely - alchemy. Like chemistry, but magick...
Def
Maybe it was fate for Terry Reid to turn down the lead singer role and for him to suggest Plant to Page instead.
Best song ever, by a lot of people's standards. Now that I'm older, it makes me ponder many things about this life, I know I'm not alone in this, it's kinda heavy but the way the song ends, it leaves room for hope and maybe that's the attraction to it still, decades later.
Robert's still sexy to this day, I'm not sure that he COULDN'T be sexy even if he tried lol He's the gold standard, the archetypal rock star. Worked those blue jeans like a beast 😂
Heart's version live at Kennedy Center Honors! It's so incredible, brings me to tears every time I see it.
The keyboard at the beginning is unmistakably a mellotron. And I know you're utterly transfixed by Robert Plant, and rightfully so, but Jimmy Page deserves a lot more love for this one. That solo is universally lauded as the most iconic in rock history (especially the studio version - which you MUST hear). Jones & Bonham are no slouches here either. (Okay, you gave Bonzo some love.) It's so beautiful to see you discovering this fundamental track. Blessings.
Correct for the live gigs.
The Beatles used them first, Strawberry Fields Forever, guitar intro to Bungalow Bill.
After that, in the rock world when they found out, some bought them.
@@foofghtr Sure, then Moody Blues and King Crimson shortly after the Beatles - on Stairway studio version it's a recorder flute I think.
Iconic if not the best.
It is amazing just how good the Mellotron’s flute sounds are, huh?
Ever since the Moody Blues, I’ve been entranced by this wonderfully evocative instrument.
The solo was my ring tone for so long. Such a great song!
One of my all time favs! Definitely my #1 rock band!! Kashmir and When the levee breaks are my favorite songs.
Wow, I can't believe you are just hearing this for the first time! One of the all-time classics! Enjoy!
My reaction indeed.
don't you just love her smile when Robert smiles at Jimmy at 5:30......I knew that would happen!!!
Aileen, you are appreciating this song exactly as you should -- you are a SOUL SISTER -- and I truly love that about you! I am a musician and, I can tell you, there are just nowhere near enough women like you out there -- MUSIC LOVERS! Thank you!
That's a fact.
I had the cassette for Led Zeppelin 3 when I was in middle school 🏫 😳 😂
Hi Aileen, I hope you're having an awesome day. We may never see another band like LZ in our lifetime, certainly like you I wish I could have seen them live The song was the most requested song on FM radio in the 1970s. It was played 2,874,000 times on the radio, which is equivalent to 44 years of airtime. The last time it was played live was in London on December 10, 2007, and in my opinion was the best R&R song of all time. I've mentioned I DJ most weekends and you would be amazed at how many young people in their early 20's request this and just are mesmerized by it. Anyway continue on doing what you're doing, all the best!
We already have seen a band like LZ, Greta Van Fleet. Give them a good listen and you'll hear the influence.
I feel incredibly lucky to have seen them in 1977 at Madison Square Garden. The rotating laser pyramid was mind-blowing.
@masonblack3461
GVF are not "like" Led Zeppelin. Don't insult Zeppelin. Just because the singer used to try and emulate Plant and they used a Zeppelin riff doesnt mean that they are anything like Zep.
At the stage in GVF 's career that Zeppelin were, Zeppelin had made SIX all time classic albums. What have GVF done?
@@masonblack3461new album and last were trash tbh and there guitar player pretty basic even more in there new songs.
Thank you for the exact figures. That's astonishing. No wonder Robert Plant after so many years said he doesn't want to hear it on the radio, LOL. I've heard mostly the studio version but many different ones possibly thousands of time, def. hundreds.
If you even read this, Thank You! Thank you for coming over and listening to the music that people my age grew up with and enjoyed (and still DO!) as passionately as you do. It goes without saying that it means a lot to myself and many others to be able to share this music....it's what makes music so great. I am sure I can speak for many that sharing this and all the other "older" music, gives us a thrill that just can't be matched otherwise. Glad you're enjoying this and the others, and thank you for being so eclectic and open-minded. Stay and enjoy......
The greatest band that ever did & ever will exist, all of their song are great, there may be a couple that won’t be your favorite. These 4 geniuses, are each the GOAT of their craft, & together they are GODS of all genres of music. Every time I watch & hear Plant preform, yes I could stand to be hosed down too, though when he hits those high notes I get goosebumps. He’s the ultimate front man, the vocals humor when needed, & so damn sexy.
Hello from Denmark .. I started to listening to Led Zepperlin when they came out whit Led Zepperlin II in the happy 70s. Now i am 65 years old and i still hear them.
I was obsessed with this album when I was in my early/mid teens I listened to the tape at least once or twice a week, and I got to meet Robert Plant around whilst listening to the tape on my Walkman at a store in the town I grew up in he( much like many other celebrities had a house there. He was very nice and was shocked to see a 16 year old pop open his Walkman and produce the tape
They way it builds is simply perfect. I love ❤ that you not only get hypnotized by Page and Plant, you but you completely are in sync with JPJ and Bonham. My heart has been racing when the drums kick in since 1980.
I am 65 years old and I grew up on this stuff. It does my heart good to see yet another generation lovin' this music. Enjoy.
My best memory of this song is when my mom and I played it on repeat for 1.5 years straight when I had 8 10”subs in my Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL. We were at a campground, and everyone could hear it! We had a bunch of people come over and party with us! Great time! Too bad she’s passed away now, but I think of her every time I hear this song!
This song is so iconic ! This is an anthem for all a generation 😊
I was waiting for you to react to this one. It's awesome.
If you really like drums, there's a live version of Moby Dick which is kinda long, and only if you REALLY appreciate drums, but John Bonham shows clearly why he's considered by many as the best R&R drummer ever.
YES!!!
Agree!
“And as we wind on down the road, our Shadow is taller than our soul” just epic and beautiful
I have to comment on this. I have watched many 'reactions' but generally it is to listen to the music of my life. You are very different. You really do add to the experience and increase my enjoyment. Well done on making the reaction as enjoyable as the performances. Probably the best 'reactor' I have ever seen. Thank you.
I'm glad i grew up in this era and saw most of these incredible bands live. 😊
I was 5 years in 1977 when i first heard this song on the radio and i was instantly hooked on Zeppelin, they are the ones that started me on the path of heavy metal from bands like pantera and slipknot, from that one song,they are and will always be my favorite bands since i was 5 years old,my first band i can remember in life.
These reaction videos crack me up. They have been around for 60 years. They are great. One of the best rock bands ever.
glad you used the clip from the Concert Film *"THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME"* awesome concert movie along with some amazing behind the scenes antics. well worth the 'eyeball time'
I always love your perspective girl. More please
Anyone who really loves rock has to love LZ. You may not like all of their songs, but the ones you do love just makes you feel special. Also, how such a big guy like Bonzo hits the drums so hard and yet he does get the most beautiful sound is just beyond me.
Which strange people don't like all their songs?
Though he is a Big guy , if you watch closely , you'll see that Bonzo's power is actually in his wrists ...... just sayin' . That's all , carry on 🙂
One of the greatest songs ever written that is a constant climbing song. Love that people your age hear the greats like Led Zeppelin when old guys like me were seeing them in their prime. I hitchhiked 1,500 miles to go to this show.
as some one who grew up in that era I still have every Led Zeppelin album and well pretty much all the bands of the 70's/80's and most of the 60's as well lol best era of music I feel
"If you know you know"👍🧊🚿❣ So much fun watching you appreciate them and hearing your on-point comments! One of Jimmy's best solos. Hope you'll do lots, lots more LZ. Thanks ☮
It was probably Jimmy’s best solo, the studio recording was anyways.
So happy for you that your journeys into Zeppelin's stunning music are giving you such great vibes!
this is the reason why this song has always been at the top of, or near the top (top 5) of every list of the 100 best rock-n-roll songs of all time!
Back when bands not only sang and played their own instruments, but they weren't afraid of doing it live.
Please give the studio version a listen, too. Then the version by Heart at the tribute to Led Zep.
Id give many other live versions a listen before the Heart tribute. Zeppelin never played it the same way twice live.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I think too many of the live recordings are sloppy (due to Page).
@@cshubs
Thats a myth. Being spontaneous and inventive, trying new things, pushing the boundaries etc is not sloppy. Zeppelin often improved on the studio versions and gave way more to them, taking them somewhere else.
They got bored playing note for note facsimilies every night. That wasn't for them.
Still my all time fave Zeppelin track! Great reaction as always Aileen! 💕🔥
I love all your comments, coming from a genuine musical knowledge and lovely girl, you`ve got all the vibe, sweetheart. Drummer Bonzo, (John Henry Bonham), was a head banger machine, his drum fills, timing and driving force for this song was absolutely stunning, a real drums clinic lesson on the stage, among magnificent performance from Jimmy, John Paul keyboard playing, matching to a great singer and front man, Robert Plant. Timeless performance, girl, this one from NYC Madison Square back in 1973. Take care, thanks for reaction.
The keyboard is a Mellotron - by holding a key down a length of pre-recorded magnetic tape is 'played' - on release the 'head' is returned to it's original position.
I was 13 when this album came out, Led Zeppelin IV, have listened to this song thousands of times.
Missed this concert at Madison Square Garden in '73.
I did see this movie "The Song Remains the Same", when it came out in '75, bought the record too.
This is probably my favorite version of this song.
Dazed and Confused, The Song Remains the Same/The Rain Song are two more killer tracks.
I'm loving the love that you have for Zep :) For me, Planty is the greatest rock singer expressing deep emotional life experiences from a different way of being into the present moment that we all can join in on and inhabit. Pagey is the primary melody maker within the band putting Planty's lyrics to music, along with John Paul Jones on bass / keyboards / mandolin, and any other instrument he could play, of which there are many, and John Bonham on drums is quite possiblt the greatest rock drummer to have ever lived (RIP). Thanks for exploring Zep's music for they are one more component of being life affirming for enjoyment :)
Aileen is one fascinating lady. Beautiful,smart,sensitive,mesmerising. Totally gets the music
Thank you! I've been in love w this kind of music for aprox 50 years. The best part of your broadcast ( please pardon my english) is you.
I love this live version! 💜💜💜 One of my favorites but I think you should listen to "Battle of Evermore" the album version thats 1 of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs Especially the vocals on it 🙌🏼
The studio version of Stairway To Heaven is the greatest rock n roll song of all time!!!! War Pigs by Black Sabbath, and Highway To Hell by ACDC with Bon Scott singing round out the top 3!!!❤❤❤❤
"And as we wind on down the road. Our shadows taller than our souls!" What a line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Closely followed by "To be a Rock, and not to Roll". Please please listen to the studio version of Led Zeps "You Shook Me" A blues to make babies too!!!
I believe this young lady is feeling the same "emotinal connection" aka. The hots for mr Plant as so many of us did in the day. Lol
i grew up with this, its so good to see you enjoy it as much as I did, and still do, What a way to finish the song vocaly as well, enjoyed your reaction💗👍
Months ago, you reacted to Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven and was really touched by the song as a dedication to the loss of his young son. Well, Robert Plant lost his 5y son during their 1977 North American Tour and as a result Plant wrote this beautifully haunting dedication to his young son Karac. Interestingly, this is the only song of LZ that Jimmy Page had no part of the writing or creation. It is such a beautiful masterpiece it will surely bring out some tears, but as a new fan, you really should give it a go and see the range of sounds that LZ created. The title is "All Of My Love" and is found on the In Thru The Outdoor album. Hope you really give it a try.
Wow, thanks - that's an awesome track, but I never knew that was the story of it.
@@DavidImiri You're welcome. Per a Rolling Stone article, it was totally written and composed by just Plant and JPJ. They did it without any input from Page.
"All My Love" is actually one of two Zep originals not credited to Page, the other being "South Bound Suarez". But yea, "All My Love" is beautiful and very touching, the synth solo from John Paul is one of my favorites and the acoustic guitar solo from Page that follows is like a spring shower in a period of mourning.
Ive always said this song is like watching a fireworks show. Starts slow, builds up , than the grand finally and everyone is in awe clapping and cheering.
Everything that I could say has been said more eloquently by other posters!
I will say this, I was a fan from the first song I heard (Ramble On) I bought and played to death at least 2 of each album and still have them all.
As time went on my musical interests changed and I listened to other groups, only to always find myself circling back to my love of the Mighty Led Zep.
The songs can change and take on new meanings as time goes on, and several of these have done just that. What meant one thing at 16, means something different at 64.
I hope you keep enjoying their great music and revisit it as time goes on.
You might also check out Pink Floyd - Dark side of the Moon, another masterpiece of musical composition.
Keep on rocking, you have a beautiful soul!
p.s. Sorry about the wall-o-text!
Great reaction. If you cover the top 500 hits, underground hits, and near hits of the 60s (1964-1974) and 70s, you can’t go wrong. The classic are called that for a reason. They are timeless pieces of musical art. Before personal computers ruined the music business played by humans for humans on real musical instruments. I’m a jazz fan. Some day you are bound to fall in love with the spontaneous beauty and soul of jazz improvisation.
Considered by many to be the greatest song ever. It's thought that much of it was inspired by the writings of JRR Tolkien, I always think that's a fascinating inspiration for rock music. Love Plant's singing which is of course patterned in many ways after Janis Joplin. I just love the way the song builds like climbing a stairway. Always love your reactions Aileen! Enjoy a beautiful weekend!
Completely agree about it being one of the greatest songs ever despite the fact you couldn't buy the single so you could only hear it if you bought the album very clever.
Not the only LZ song inspired by Tolkien either. The Battle of Evermore comes immediately to mind, and I believe there are others.
@@DavidImiri Tolkien is thought to be one of their major inspirations for many songs. I
@DavidImiri Also Misty Mountain Hop and Ramble On.
Not just Tolkien but the whole rural British countryside and history thing. The May Queen reference is an ancient old English term for the goddess of spring. It's not Tolkien.
The full, live MSG performance of Dazed and Confused is a must watch.
First of all I love how your eyebrow twitches. But to the point, I grew in when they were new to the rock world and they have been my favorite band of all time. I believe this song is the most iconic, beautiful song ever written and I’m really happy to see all you people loving their music. Stairway to heaven brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it.
Led Zeppelin has the biggest and greatest portfolio of any rock band. They have legit 50 awesome songs. Hope you do more of them! Great reaction as always.
Aileen, if I haven't mentioned this before (forgive me if so), please listen to "Dazed and Confused", the studio version. Killer!
Only one Led Zep, no one comes close!!!!!! You are in love with them now just as we are! Nuff Said!
Great reaction - I'm really enjoying hearing your comments on the songs you listen to, you really seem to 'get' the music if that makes sense.
Looking forward to your next video.
Led Zeppelin lendas do rock Jimmy page um gênio da guitarra
I knew you would love this one! Aren't they amazing?
John ‘bono’ Bonham was probably the greatest rock drummer who ever lived , John Paul Jones key board and bassist , song writer an extraordinary complete musician, jimmy page whose guitar skills honed by desire to be the best and followed the legendary Eric Clapton in the yardbirds and then Robert Plant whose vocals are just amazing . These four men changed the rock scene forever, they are the pinnacle of rock music. Nothing that is said about them is enough. I’m happy you enjoyed my favourite all time band, and that’s not even a good version of stairway to heaven.
I have a dear friend Susan from NYC who was Robert Plant's A&R rep. for his solo career. She said he was just larger than life because you could be sitting with your back to the door and if he walked into the room you just knew he was behind you because you could feel his presence even before you set eyes on him. Anyway, interesting you chose a live version of the song, Aileen, because I think most people are just so ingrained with the album version.
At first I was shocked this was your first time hearing it, but then I remembered my wife never heard of the song until I introduced her to it early in our dating years. For me personally, I still prefer the studio version over the live version.
Which live version? They never did it the same way twice live. 😉
I disagree. I really like Robert's extra flourishes ("Does anyone remember laughter!" and "I hope so!") I grew up on TSRTS soundtrack thanks to my older brother and *that* was the first version I heard and I love it more than the studio version.
Yeah Jimmy Page is so sloppy live.
@@scottbarr2889
Nothing sloppy about his playing in this live performance. It's breathtaking.

Thanks to Zeppelins creativity and exploration, we can get to listen to vastly different versions of the same song. Lots to choose from. Unlike their peers such as the Rolling Stones and The Who.
Nothing can compare to them, especially live. However, Heart did a pretty good job and a sort of super group yt artists, Violet Orlandi, Lauren Babic, Halocene and First to 11 do an impressive cover. Their voices are amazing
Love your analysis. Keep up the good work.
Seen them 5 times. Yes we had fun. This brings back wonderful memories.
Thank you for showing this
Zep's music is timeless. Best band ever.
The studio version is perfection, one of the best songs ever. Live versions of songs can be amazing, but unfortunately they often lose some of the feeling.
Only a bad musician LOSES feeling playing live.
Dude, live is where all music begins. It’s us in a room, sharing something.
There is never more feeling than that.
Sorry, Pete856 is right. (Yes I know this is all subjective) 🤔The logic and intention of the studio version is a perfectly recorded example of what Zeppelin, specifically Jimmy Page, did best. That was his primacy and creative engineering in the studio, that they never achieved live. Make no mistake, their free form style live was a famously noted hallmark of their entire careers together, from their first to last performances. Just one man’s opinion from someone who saw them live several times. When Zeppelin came to town it was much more of an event, much like The Stones and Floyd, and not just another concert. You just had to be there. The MSG 73 performance stands up just fine. Better? I’ll always prefer the original master version but to me it’s apples and oranges. It’s too different, which was again, their intention. 🤘
That 180 degrees incorrect
The studio versions should always be listened to first, followed by the live version or versions (unless like in some cases there is no studio version). This should be a requirement for anyone learning this music as far as I am concerned.
I would recommend the studio version to really hear the artistry of their collective talent. It makes the variations and their individual improvisations of their raw live performances more amazing if the studio version is your starting point.
Jimmy is amazing on " The song remains the same/rain song " same concert...life changing...❤ u 😊
