I think Plant’s vocal on this song might be the greatest blues rock vocal recording of all time. IMHO
The idea that Jimmy plugged in, and recorded that solo off the top of head - improvised in the studio in one take....now that's just crazy.
One of their best.
I absolutely love watching your generation enjoying all the great music we were listening to at your age.
Well done.
The Msg live version takes this to another level. Plants vocals are like a sexual tyrannosaurus bringing the lyrics to life and pages guitar work makes the album version sound like childsplay. Gotta watch it man. Will blow your mind.
Agree 100%
there are two live MSG versions! the best one is the 2nd result on youtube, not the first !!!
The style of his singing here reminds me of Janis Joplin on Ball and Chain from Monterey Pop.
haha "sexual tyrannosaurus" was Jesse V in Predator
So now you know. The live version takes this song up many levels. Do the MSG version for sure. It'll absolutely blow you away!
Yep!
Agree in some ways, but not better vocally. Plant better here IMHO
This is a popular opinion but not one I share. This version is seminal. For me he never nails the vocal in any of the live versions I've seen.
@@innercircle341 Sure, and Page is sloppy live. But what you're missing (and of course you have the right to your own opinion) is that Zeppelin was a true improvisational band. Some people might not like that type of music, but to me it's much more intense. They are experimental astronauts surfing the waves of improvisation, and they aren't afraid to try anything. They sometimes crash over the wave, but they recover, and because of this approach, they create more intense, dynamic and deep music.
@@glass2467 to be clear I am specifically referring to this song. Plenty of others I prefer live. But the purity and clarity of this particular studio version is unsurpassed.
Every live version I've seen has disappointed. The vocal often often sounds like a whiny boy crying over the girl that dumped him.
I'm an original Zep head from the 60s so I am fully aware of the live work.
If you think of Zeppelin as a blues/hard rock band, this is their essential track. The artistry and chemistry of all four members is maxed and it perfectly integrates the blues into the hard rock of other Zep songs. It also proves that Zep didn’t need to be loud to be good: the space between instruments that could otherwise feel awkward almost sounds like its own instrument wielded by the band. A masterpiece and top 5 Zep track.
Top 5? What songs would be better?
@@walther2273 I know these choices are predictable but they’re true: Kashmir, Stairway, Dazed n Confused, Since I’ve Been Loving You, and Levee would probably fill in the top 5. Kashmir and Stairway are both reaching for greatest song of all time. What would you put?
@@BRNRDNCK since i've been 1st. For some reason i love the lemon song, 2nd. Stairway live 3rd. Going to california 4th. Dazed or babe i am gonna leave you 5th.
That's weird but i rlly cannot feel anything with kashmir especially the studio version.
Honorable mentions for in my time of dying, ramble on, rock n roll, how many more times and so many others.
@@walther2273 That’s a great list. Zep succeeded at so many different sounds so it’s hard to disagree when someone prefers The Lemon Song, for example.
@@BRNRDNCK yeah that song is so cool especially the bridge where it slows down and you can hear the bass so well. That moment feels like a jam being played live it's so nice with plant doing his things vocally and page responding with the guitar
The live performance of this song at Madison Square Garden in 1974 is possibly the greatest live performance of all time.
Agreed, but 1973
2nd result on youtube for the BEST Version
the video's name is simply 'Since I've Been Loving You [HD]'
This is one of the few studio songs of the era where most of what you're hearing is the band live all together instead of getting the drums, adding guitars, bass, etc individually after that. It was done in this unusual, "all together" fashion because it was easier for this song
I've been waiting for this one ever since you first started reacting to Led Zeppelin months ago. Whenever I think of the greatest Zeppelin songs, it's usually between Since I've Been Loving you and Rain Song. I think my final answer is that whichever of those 2 I'm listening at that time is my favorite.
I know that LZ III has had its ups and downs for you, but I fell in love with it after a few listenings. It may not be their most popular, but I think it was a necessary album for them and looking back retrospectively it helped to show their range and solidify their greatness. They could have just kept popping out their at the time "trademark" sound like they did with I and II, but they decided to scale it back a bit and try something a bit different.
They are just as much folk influenced as they are blues, and III allowed them to express that side. It was the perfect album to precede Zeppelin IV. It's like they were experimenting with fusing rock with blues, and folk and other styles in the 1st 3 albums, then IV is where they really hit their full stride. Stairway, Levee Breaks, Rock n Roll, Going to California... In my eyes without III there could not have been IV, at least not at the level we know it is now.
All the live versions are even better
My dude Syed, thank you. I'm sorry to have been a bother requesting this so much, but you've made my day.
Syed, I am so glad you like this as much as we did when it came out. Also, it is , in my opinion, better to hear the album version first, before a live version, like we did.
Yes.
I have a sentimental attachment to this album, especially the song Gallows Pole, as it's the first album I ever tripped to. ✌🏻💀
This is an amazing, steamy blues. Yes, the drum pedal squeak is there, once you hear it, you can't un-hear it. The pedal was a Ludwig Speed King, but known as the "Squeak King" thereafter. To be honest, Jimmy didn't notice it at first himself until it was pointed out to him but, since he was never adverse to leaving in the occasional odd bit, there it stays. This song was the most difficult to record from this album as they did it basically live, so it was difficult to get right. It had been considered for the 2nd album but was bumped in favor of Whole Lotta Love. Jonesy plays bass pedals on a Hammond C3 organ, which allowed him to perform it wonderfully in concert; it adds a warm, mellowness to the painful heartache. This song raised the bar for a new level of musical richness and melodic sophistication. This 3rd album may not now or ever be as well liked as others you've heard/will hear, however, I maintain that later albums wouldn't have the same impact without the musical exploration and muscle stretching, if you will, found on this album.
Yeah, once you hear "The Squeak" you can never un-hear it 😆 I personally find it the most characteristic feature of the song. It's like a Marvin Gaye "WHOO!". It just makes the song so specifically unique.
Bought this album in 1973 I was 13. ….. that was it I was hooked. I so get off watching young people discover this great stuff
To echo everyone else in the comments here, their 1973 performance of this song at Madison Square Garden is the stuff of legends. Plant gives a performance for the ages and single-handedly crafted the prototype of the Golden God of Rock. Zeppelin melted the faces right off the crowds who witnessed it live. It is an absolute must-see.
2nd result on youtube for the best version
the first version from Zepplin's channel was re-recorded or something, it's not as good
The live MSG 1973 version will make your head explode.
I believe Page did that solo in one take and on a an amp that some previous musician left behind at the studio. Talk about serendipity.
Robbert voice though.Never get tired of listening to led.My fave.band.
I am an 80 year old who has been to over 2000 concerts and you have provided superb analysis. Love you for doing so.❤
My favorite Zeppelin tunes are all deep cuts -Ten Years Gone
-In the Light
-Gallows Pole
-Custard Pie
-Tangerine
That'll get you started 😃
THIS is what ive been waiting for since you started listening to Led Zeppelin. Great reaction and glad you enjoyed it and felt it 👊🏻
I used to work long graveyard shifts in the 70s for two years in a data center with no windows. And I would blast this song.
Thanks for reacting to this. As I mentioned in my request to you, the live Madison Square Garden version is mind blowing. Please react to that one soon ❤
You can best hear the squeaky pedal at the very beginning, when the instrumentation is the quietest.
Also a note on the live versions, they did a multi show stand at MSG in 1973 for the concert movie: The Song Remains the Same and the best version of this song from the several from MSG is the one that is in the movie, make sure you do that one, it is the best of the bunch for sure and Enjoy! 🎧
note to mention - this is the best version, NOT the first result on youtube
ruclips.net/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/видео.html
Where he sounds like two guitars I think he’s bending notes on the B and G strings at the same time which creates that effect. Page does that a lot, most notably on the outro soloing on Stairway to Heaven before the song ends.
I've never thought about the storm imagery but you are 100% right. I can feel the wind driving the rain across my face. It's like Wagnerian Blues.
Honestly, for a lot of fans, the third album and presents there next to last album didn't really go over that well although each one of them has at least a couple songs that everybody loved. Of course the true fans like all of it but I was the same way when it came out. Now that I'm older and more advanced musically I do pretty much like everything on both of those off albums I sometimes worry when people are doing album by album song by song that they might get burned out on it or something when there's so much other good stuff but I really like the methodical approach you're taking. Either way this song kicks ass!
The adjectives are just not there to accurately describe this absolute masterpiece.
One of my favorite leads of all time
In the beginning you hear the squeaky bass drum. It is truly one of the greatest songs ever. Nice job.
I guess I'll have to turn my requests for more Beatles up a notch - seems to work!
Thoroughly enjoying your reviews 🍃 So good
I have previously only listened casually to this music, but your analysis gives me a real appreciation of their fantastic talent.😊
It's so refreshing to find a "reactor" (reviewer) that actually seems to "get it". Someone that can obviously feel the music as intended. Good reaction. We can see you have someone else off camera to share the music with and so you are really reacting in the moment and sharing it.
Some reactors seem clueless, like, "I don't get it, why did they do that or say that in the song, what does it mean"? Bad
Amazing song...and indeed, baby making music! As a neat factoid to their attention to quality 'sound' production - listen to this track again, and pay a close ear to the bass drum kick - you can actually hear the squeak of the foot pedal! It's subtle, but it's there.
Absolutely LOVE this track! As others have mentioned, the live version from The Song Remains The Same amps this bad-boy up to the stratosphere!!
Wonderful reaction. My favorite LZ track and MSG 73 filmed performance. Thanks ☮
Fantastic reaction to a fantastic song!
One of the greatest vocal performances ever...
That is an excellent description and awareness of the space and the manipulation of space, and I would also throw Dynamics in there. And there is one more element missing in terms of describing the three-dimensional Sound Stage.
Something that you nailed it a lot of people don't get is this idea that the vertical space on the stage is low-frequency at the bottom and high-frequency at the top, and so you mentioned the kick drum download and the guitars up high and so forth. You also obviously have stereo panning and that is stage left and Stage right. But finally the depth of the stage has to do with the amount of Reverb or how dry the various sounds are relative to each other. So for example anything that's dry is going to be up close to the front of the stage, whereas the more wet the Reverb is the more it is at the rear of the stage. So with those three things you can completely control this three-dimensional Sonic space and it's really one of the basics of recording and mixing, but a lot of people don't really understand that. I'm going to assume that comes from your background with hip-hop.
This is Who Jimmy Page Is,
Great Blues Guitarist, Artist!
Page grew up listening to American Blues Greats in the day, when Rock music was exploding in England.
Played guitar for the Yardbirds playing rock, but..he was just a blues guy playing rock.
So, he left and formed Zepp, allowing him more creativity and taking his guitar to another level.
Saw an Amazing Live show in the early 70s in Boston, they were promoting Zepp II.
You have to watch The live Madison Square Garden performance from 1973...UNBELIEVABLE!!!🎶🎸🎵🎸
Great reaction, Syed! One of my favorite Led Zeppelin tracks of all time... You're right, the musicality is awesome, but it's Plant's vocals that make it great.
This continues to be my favorite song by Zeppelin; i feel like it showcases each band members absolute strengths to the max. The feelings and emotions it creates are next level.
There are incredible bootlegs in 1970 and 1971 that are mind blowing. I think he kind of muffs the main solo in TSRTS, by the tone is huge!
Sometimes I gauge true talent on restraint… it’s easy to throw it all out there and often a real skill to hold back and pull back for the sake of the music.
Always amazing! Magnificent!
Amazing song, supersonic blues like only they can do. I agree to hear the studio original first, the mix and overall sound is perfect BUT it really takes off live, try the version from the Song Remains the Same Concert movie, it is one of the best for not only the on fire sound but the amazing visuals of the band at their best. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
The MSG live version takes this to the next level.

HEY SYED 😘 HOW ARE YOU ? GOOD I HOPE . I WATCHED THIS REACTION WITH YA IT WAS GOOD. GLAD YOU ENJOYED. THIS HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE SONG BY LED ZEPPELIN !! 💕 ITS STRANGE TOO BECAUSE I WAS BORN IN 62. ,BY TIME I WAS 12 & UP IS WHEN I DISCOVERED LED. AN ALL THESE YEAR'S ONLY 3 YEAR'S AGO I FOUND REACTION CHANNELS AND HEARD THIS SONG AND WOW !!! NOW I HAVE TO LISTEN & WATCH THE LIVE VERSION AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN !! SYED I KNOW THAT ALOT OF REACTOR'S HAS NOT HAD TROUBLE LOADING THAT VIDEO SO I WILL BE WAITING & KEEPING EYE OUT FOR YOUR REACTION VERY SOON I HOPE !! I AM DARLENE FROM ANNISTON ALABAMA AN I 💕💕 YOUR REACTION'S AND ANALYZING THE LYRICS 🥰🥰🥰🥰PEACE & LOVE
Confess I haven't heard the live version most often seen in YT reactions (MSG) in a long time. The reason I haven't gone back to it, is I felt like it actually melted the song away from this studio composition. This is a beautiful, gorgeous blues tour de force, but live it comes across to me as an unfocused spectacle and the beauty is undetectable under all the live noise and heat. I always cringe when I see a young person do a YT reaction to the live version which compared to the studio version, is apples and habanero peppers.
I appreciate Syed paying attention and listening to the classic studio version as his introduction to the song. LZ has been my no. 1 favorite band since the week their 1st album was released in the USA, and was the first band I saw play live - a concert at NYC's Carnegie Hall just a few months after they exploded on to the scene. It was mandatory for all of their fans to take the thrill ride to see them live, but their truest greatness lies within the grooves of the vinyl.
You're the best! Love your reviews!!
You are going to LOVE the live version, Great reaction Sy
The live version is even crazier, you can find the best live version on the album "The song remains the same" that official album is clean live version of 1973 MSG.
Fabulous track- great analysis Syed. Thanks.❤
Yes!!!
Love seeing you enjoy these songs bro. And your comments come from a place of musical insight … much better than a lot of response videos where all they do is say yeah that was cool.
Love the reactions. You seem to have an intellect beyond your years which is refreshing. Definitely do the live from MSG. On a side note Dazed and Confused from that same show is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. It’s around 30 mins long but worth every second. You won’t be sorry
note to mention - this is the best version, NOT the first result on youtube
ruclips.net/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/видео.html
Simply one of the greatest songs of all time. And one of the most impressive ensemble performances. As always Syed, your insightful reaction does this phenomenal band justice.
Yeaaaaahhhhh... Heavy with a CAPITAL H!! Absolute Titans.
You've given me a new appreciation for this song - I could never get into it before. Love how you explore LZ's use of space, dynamics and interplay. Bravo sir.
No one ever mentions that sweet bass line, played by JPJ with his feet on organ pedals. While he played the keys part.
Definitive Led Zeppelin right here.
This is a great song and performed so well by all four members of the band and then you combine the great production/sound on this. It’s perfection. Jimmy’s solo may be my favorite of his and also love how the guitar sound just moans through out the song.
I recommend treating Zep 1 and 3 as partner albums, with 2 and 4 partnering each other.
1 and 3 get down and bluesy while 2 and 4 are blistering rock epics.
Unlike some other songs, this is one you have to say less about.
It's visceral. FEEL IT. We've all heard it.
Probably my second favorite Zeppelin song, only closely outmatched by Achilles Last Stand, which I hope you'll check out eventually
Bravo Syed - watch them stretch it at MSG with a big style which is different to Houston, to LA, to Japan and so on.
Believe me, you're gonna love the live version:)
It's the right thing to do listening for the first-time the studio version of the songs. A live version is appreciated more if you are already familiar with the song. Very insightful reaction as always man.
Led zepp 3 is my favourite to be honest especially the more folk influenced tracks bron-aur- stomp and gallows pole and the acoustic but psychedelic tangerine.
Am I in the minority when I think that the studio version of this is the best version?
i’m with you man. i love the live versions but the vocals here, the guitar work& solo, everything here is honestly just perfect and almost addictive
Truly awesome track, with all 4 of them at the top of their game...Delivering.
I think you're right to listen to the album versions first, because you need a yardstick by which the other versions can be properly assessed.
But I've said this to you before... I disagree with many here. If you want to hear the best versions, of this, The Rain Song, and Kashmir ?
It has to be Page and Plant Unledded Live... Just has to be.
Thumbs up on the " baby making " reference.
Zep III sounding hit or miss is because this was their first album exploring other forms, the first album where they really got to know each other personally, and completely gel as a band isolated from all the noise and stress of touring and promotional engagements - the album where they became Led Zeppelin.
"Electric blue" captures the vibe nicely. I recall uploading this song to some forum I was on a long time ago, and i gave it the title "A Blue Haze of Brilliance," I believe. Now it was a live version (from their "How the West Was Won" album), and my mental image was of Jimmy playing his solo on stage with blue cigarette (and other) smoke in the air around him as the stagelights shown. A satisfying reaction for you and us, I'd say! And you still have quite a few more JPJ Organ/Keyboard Moments to come!
Have you ever reacted to 'Prince"? The guitar of him, Please consider Reacting to "Motherless Child"- by Prince
Brilliant song and fantastic album 🔥👏👏👏👌😎❤🎸
Not much point after this
The best song of all time!
Legendary.
I can’t wait until you react to the next song
Great reaction man! Their best song in my honest opinion.
I'm sure you have heard the sad news that a few weeks ago we lost a great, Mr Jeff Beck. In case you weren't aware, Jeff and Jimmy Page became friends as teenagers and grew up together and were both session musicians at the same time, then Beck joined The Yardbirds in 1965, and later Page joined too initially as the bass player. When Beck left he formed his own group The Jeff Beck Group (with, at the time, a little known singer called Rod Stewart) with their first album 'Truth' being released in 1968, a year before Page and Zeppelin released their debut. Many people agree that Beck's guitar playing on 'Truth' had a big impact on Page's guitar playing and what a year later became Zeppelins debut album. I highly recommend you check out the track 'Let Me Love You' by The Jeff Beck Group. Beck was hugely influential and pioneering when it came to guitar sounds, being likely the first well documented player to use feedback and un-orthodox aggressive techniques (Some say even before Hendrix!)
RIP to the maestro, who unlike many of his contemporaries, was consistently pushing musical boundaries all the way until his passing at 78. Noone will ever sound like Jeff Beck!
My favourite LZ track by a reasonable margin ... thank you
Great song and as everyone suggests, the live version is worth it, and certainly has been fine for other reactors to post on youtube
III will grow on you over time, it always does.
Baby making music! 😅 love it
Best guitar solo ever
Thanks!
No problem!
You get it. Impressive.
tea for one from led zeppelin is basically this song on steroids
Funny because I always felt I could relate to working 7, till 11 as that was me doing the swing shift for about a year in 1979. It sucked because it was hard to recharge in the morning when you had the specter of going to work later in the day. It did pay a bit more, not worth it.
The layering is why you should listen to the studio version first-the live version MSG, is a fantastic performance but is lacking in the depth and uniqueness in the space of the sound. To me Zep III is a lesser album than i & II, but it has some real gems, and this one is the most brilliant gem. Wait til you get to IV-top notch from start to finish.
Yep! None better.
This is my favourite Zeppelin track. Although I think their best album as a whole is Houses of the Holy this is my second favourite. The music industry at the time tried to "shoehorn" Zeppelin into this box where they were only allowed to play their approved version of "hard rock" following their first two albums. This is their response. It's a big middle finger to the music industry establishment saying we will play what we want when we want to play it. Thus it never garnered the positive feedback from the industry itself. To be honest, this could have ruined Zeppelin, but then they wrote Stairway and the rest as they say is history. I like the raw blues and country feel to this album. IMHO this album has some of Bonham's best stuff on it. It's so fun to play. Everything from this track to Gallow's Pole to Out On the Tiles to the Immigrant Song. It's just awesome. And yes the squeak is there. You really have to listen to the first few bars in the song and you'll pick it up. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.
live also awesome
LZ3 is my favourite.
Page = Goat
The song impressed so many people, that there's a "compilation" video (you could have been a part of) of the jaw dropping responses to this song.
Watch the live at MSG, 1973 video. The most epic performance.
note to mention - this is the best version, NOT the first result on youtube
ruclips.net/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/видео.html
Live version is so much better. In my time of dyin & Trampled under foot both live as well❤️
