But if you bought Led Zeppelin II on cassette as I did to play in the car back in the day, the tracklist is modified a bit and Thank You is between those two songs
Plant said one time long ago that it usually takes about a year to experience a second, much deeper appreciation of each album, once the songs are memorized enough. True enough.
Love that you’re doing these back to back. For many of us Boomers, this medley played endlessly on the radio was our first exposure to Led Zeppelin. To say it was a huge revelation would be an understatement. 1969 was an astounding year for rock music
@@barsandbarbells2022 love the channel 👍 if you want to try 2 Zep songs that merge into each other try Friends/Celebration Day of LZ3 both great tracks on their own but the merging part is excellent. My vinyl copy used to jump when Robert sang “it’s very easy “ so I got 4 repeats instead of 3 😂
The first part of the guitar solo in “ Heartbreaker” is just Jimmy using his left hand on the guitar strings. No plectrum. I saw him play this live in November 1971 in Manchester, England 🏴. Loudest thing I have heard in my 70 years alive.
I was 15 when this Album came out. I heard it from a friends older brother, and I was hooked. Followed their whole career. Cried when Bonham died. Was blessed to see them live in 1975. They played for over 3 hours. It was incredible, but also sad as I knew I had seen the best concert I would ever see. They were the best.
There is no guitar solo in history that has been more inspirational for aspiring guitarists than this song (including me). It was the right riff, at the right time, but most pioneering, hands down, of all time.
A good friend of mine played lead guitar in a group, and he was good. When this came out I got him to listen to it, and he said, "There's single, picking, double picking, this is triple picking, and more." Impressive. Thanks for a great song to listen to with you, and God bless you!
Your comment about Layering the Bass line with Jimmy's guitar playing is the perfect description on Heartbreaker. The bonus was that you got 2 great songs bac2bac on the radio. No1 else was doing that.
This album was my introduction to Zeppelin back in the early 70,s and my musical life was defined in the moment . Ever since it’s been Zeppelin and everything else comes afterwards.. Heartbreaker in particular I recall my thoughts on first listen and saying wow now thats what you call a rock song .❤❤❤Good weekend to you all ..❤❤
Great reaction guys. This is a beginning of SO many riffs that we're ripped off later by lesser bands. That's all I can say really. Zeppelin was special...period! You're still only scratching the surface. Much more to look forward to guys!!! CHEERS! 🍻🤟👏
Fantastic! You are the first reactors I have seen that do both songs together as they are meant to be! Thanks! I was a senior in high school when this dropped!
This song was such a powerful rush to me when I first heard it that I still remember that exact moment. I was driving & switched stations on the radio to the verse build up before the lead. I instantly recognized Page's guitar & JPJ's bass. I quickly pulled over & sat completely mesmerized & enraptured. I was in shock. It was like a powerful drug - PoW! Still think it's their most kick-a$$ tune, with Whole Lotta Love being a close second, to me. Thanks much for your reactions!
You summed up Jimmy perfectly. His guitar is always perfectly placed, structured but also very innovative. You can hear his years as a session musician in the way he plays, yet he also plays so many unique riffs and is experimental. I'm also a Hendrix fan but i have Jimmy as number 1, and yes i'm biased as hell.
The album "PRESENCE " has the most intense Zeppelin hard rock banger "NOBODYS FUALT BUT MINE" . Also the incredible next " great song " about their obsession with mythology " ARCHILLIES LAST STAND " (think IMMIGRANT SONG on STEROIDES) THANKS FOR EVERY THING YOU DO
Zeppelin are the greatest band. They really have no bad songs. Even the few songs people don’t seem to like like Hot Dog and the Crunge and Candy Store Rock are still quality songs.
Cool fact, when Jimmy Page played the neck of the guitar with one hand, someone at their LA concert was watching. That person was Eddie Van Halen, he went home and started experimenting with tapping. He got inspired by Jimmy Page.
John Paul! Where the hell did you come from? His planet now. Others may be quicker to execute, but this planet's feel can be found with him. Well placed Ed.
Those two songs show again why Jimmy Page was the guitar savant of the 70’s. Dude shredded it! Zeppelin was the perfect bridge from the end of the 60’s to the start of the 80’s when new wave and alternative music was starting. Those 10 years they were what every other band wanted to be. Unfortunately John Bonham passed away and it ended, but just an incredible run that will never listened to forever.
STILL my fave LZ album. I played this to death back then when I was 16 in 1970,might have been later actually. Physical Graffiti ran it close but overall,Led Zep II is my favourite.
Thanks as always for doing my pick, glad you enjoyed it!… Zeppelin II is my favorite album of theirs and although their music as you’ve come to learn is extremely diverse, each album in a way has its own feel. These two songs are very Zeppelin II!!!… and the second album is loaded with one great riff after another… And yes, more to come! Thanks and have a great day ❤
Being a musician myself Led Zep was always one of my favorite bands. In an interview that I watched, Jimmy Page said that Living Loving Maid was one of the songs that he didn't like. He said that that's the reasons that they never played it live.
What I heard none of them liked that one, that it was written about a rich groupie, that followed them everywhere & annoying. Us fans always liked it though.
@@sicotshit7068 Well, I also liked that song as well as a lot of my musician friends but there were a lot of songs that I'm sure that we all liked that Led Zeppelin didn't like as a whole band besides Living Loving Maid. For example, here are a few other songs that the band never played live because they didn't like them: D'yer Ma'ker' (John Bonham especially didn't like that one) The Rover, Down By the Seaside, Night Flight and In The Light. Also, Jimmy Page and John Bonham didn't like the song All Of My Love, and not did they not like All of My Love but they didn't care for the entire "In Through The Outdoor" album. Jimmy said that him and Bonham wanted some more rocking songs on the album, but he said that album was mostly the product by Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.
@@sicotshit7068 Yeah, I started playing music when I was 11 years old and I play guitar, drums keyboards and piano and vocals. I played in a lot of bands in the late 80's into the 90's. A lot of the musicians that I played with were all Zeppelin fans. I've played a lot of their songs in different bands along with original songs that me and others would write, and I have lot of books and magazines on them, however, some of the really big information that I got was from one of my ex-girlfriends back in the 80's. She went to a few of Jason Bonham's concerts when he was in the band Bonham. At one show she went to she got to go backstage and meet Jason in person. She knew a lot of the things I wanted to know about Led Zep, so he made time for her, and she asked him a lot of questions on my behalf and wrote them all down. So, I was then getting information directly from the source. She said that he was a very nice guy to make time for her to ask a lot of questions. The only thing she forgot to do for me was get me an autograph. She even forgot to get herself one with her also being such a big Zeppelin fan. I guess it was because she was so excited to get to actually meet him and ask him all those questions. I'm sure she got lost in him answering all the questions.
You mentioned how polished they sound in 69. You should react to the yardbird which was why LZ was formed by Page to fulfill contracts when the Yardbirds disbanded. "Heart full of soul" " "Shape of things"
This is one of those song that you can play one second of the intro and you know what it is. Wore this out on a cassette tape. Instant turn up the volume song.
You know Idk if you know but Lisa Marie sings a song on her album about heading into her yard in Graceland that is beyond heart moving. Its called "Lights Out". She was badass LM but this is open soul. ~Red
You guys really should check out Dread Zeppelin. Great Zep cover band! They play reggae versions of Zep, with an Elvis impersonator singing lead. Their take on Heartbreaker is LEGENDARY.
Just checked Dread Zepplin out I'm a big fan of Zepplin, reggae and Elvis so combined how can I not be a fan of this talented band. The Elvis impersonator is great!! THANKS!!!
Love the “double shot” from bands. There are many to choose from. I’d like to suggest “traveling man/beautiful loser” from Bob Segar’s live bullet album.
I'm really looking forward to you guys doing more videos from Epic History! I'd recommend the 2 parts series on the first crusade and the Napoleon series.
Pretty sure these 2 songs were released together as a single. Led Zeppelin II was the very first hard rock album I bought when I was like 12 from some music club where you got 13 albums for 1 penny.
Page’s live takes on his solos in bootlegs 1970-1973 are completely fire. Listen to the bootleg on RUclips if Osaka 1971 (opens with Immigrant Song followed by Heartbreaker). It’s the most vicious 1-2 live punch in rock history.
Have you ever seen the clip of Led Zeppelin and Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movies ?? If not you gotta see it. Absolutely amazing. Enjoy ❤️👍
John Paul Jones' bass was absolutely killer. I was told he played his bass through a Fender guitar amp, but I forgot the model. The guitar solo is said to be the inspiration of EVH's "Eruotion". Page hated "Living Loving Maid" and Zep rarely played it in concert. He felt the riff was too simple.
you guys should be one of the first to do some Otis Taylor reaction videos, he's probably one of the greatest blues artists of my time anyway. after all the blues is where rock n roll started.
Good 'ol Ed! Has Ed (or anyone else) suggested the song "Moby Dick" from their album Led Zeppelin II? A great instrumental with mad drumming by John "Bonzo" Bonham?"
On the LP the time between the two is so small that DJs couldn’t stop it in time so just play them together. Some stations that recorded them to carts would separate them. It was weird to hear Heartbreaker and not LLM right after. This video has an extended span between the songs that the LP lacked.
I scrolled through a lot of comments looking for someone to explain the real reason we always expect to hear the two songs together, and yours was the first I found. Most said it was because the radio stations always played them together. Those commenters must have never heard the album. The reason radio stations played the two songs together was dictated by the album; and that was because, on the vinyl there was really no gap between the songs. If Page didn’t like the song, they should have put more than .25 seconds between the two songs. 😂
I would like to hear your opinion on the track Darlene (Coda album, 1982, recorded in 1978). The most cheerful rock and roll song ever. My favorite since 1982.
In rankings of all time best albums, LZ I, II, IV and Physical Graffiti have all been voted among the top 100. And they are all deserving. Only the Beatles can boast that same distinction.
For all us rockers who were blown away by their debut album, the 2nd album cemented them as the best hard rock band of all time, those 2 albums are a template for all heavy rock to come. No wonder many were let down initially by Led Zeppelin 3 though time has been quite kind to it. Early Zepp will always be my favorite by them as I was there when the music world changed for the better. From the same 2nd album, try What Is and What Should Never Be for your next track from them, another all time banger, it is pretty much all they made! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥

It's illegal in all 50 states to not play Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid back to back.
Right you are
I feel the same way about Head Over Heels and Broken(Live) by Tears for Fears
But if you bought Led Zeppelin II on cassette as I did to play in the car back in the day, the tracklist is modified a bit and Thank You is between those two songs
Yes, yes it is. It's punishable by 7 years of bad luck.
and yet on "Mothership" only one appears
It actually gets even better around the 100th time you hear it. 😊
the next day you can try a different song.
I must have listened to it a hundred times this year alone, and I first bought the album in '79.
@@Paul-tp9vf Maybe I should have used 1000th?
I'll try to be better in the future.
🤣😆😁
Plant said one time long ago that it usually takes about a year to experience a second, much deeper appreciation of each album, once the songs are memorized enough. True enough.
Or the 10,000th!
Love that you’re doing these back to back. For many of us Boomers, this medley played endlessly on the radio was our first exposure to Led Zeppelin. To say it was a huge revelation would be an understatement. 1969 was an astounding year for rock music
Every week that year it seemed another shockingly new and great masterpiece was released. Heady days for a Freshman in High School, Holy Crap!!! 🎸
Only problem is once “living lovin” ends you just want to hear “ramble on”
Yup, my ears were well-trained for decades before the streaming took over, lol.
Good thing that's already up on the channel 😉
@@barsandbarbells2022 love the channel 👍 if you want to try 2 Zep songs that merge into each other try Friends/Celebration Day of LZ3 both great tracks on their own but the merging part is excellent. My vinyl copy used to jump when Robert sang “it’s very easy “ so I got 4 repeats instead of 3 😂
The 4 best musicians in any group ever….
Thanks for doing this the right way….Heartbreaker should always be followed with Living Loving Maid!!
Led Zeppelin ll was a gem
Greatest sequel album ever!
I agree,I actually cut school for 2 days in 7th grade to listen to it over and over when I first got it.
I was 15 when Led Zep I dropped.
My life was never the same.
Saw them 9,10 ten times in the early days and so began my love of gigs.
I was 11!!
@@juliemanarin4127 you don’t look old enough!
I love Achilles Last Stand and just about every song Led Zeppelin has done. Awesome drummer as well.
Speaking of another great guitar solo! 🎸
One of my favorite Zeppelin album.
Yes, John Bonham was awesome like the other 3 members
The first part of the guitar solo in “ Heartbreaker” is just Jimmy using his left hand on the guitar strings. No plectrum. I saw him play this live in November 1971 in Manchester, England 🏴. Loudest thing I have heard in my 70 years alive.

I too saw them live. They will always be Loud Zeppelin to me. Deafening!!!
@@jaypeitzer3719 Magnificently so!
@@danreed5171 What was your Mum’s name?🤪🤭
Face melting solo, both studio and live, only Hendrix is in the same sentence with Page, though David Gilmour makes a sweet 3! 🎸
So pleasing to the ear! Zeppelin are the masters of the sneaky unique grooves of their songs that subconsciously blow your mind!❤
I was 15 when this Album came out. I heard it from a friends older brother, and I was hooked. Followed their whole career. Cried when Bonham died. Was blessed to see them live in 1975. They played for over 3 hours. It was incredible, but also sad as I knew I had seen the best concert I would ever see. They were the best.
Isn't it wonderful how relevant this remains to this day. So much music for the ages.
There is no guitar solo in history that has been more inspirational for aspiring guitarists than this song (including me). It was the right riff, at the right time, but most pioneering, hands down, of all time.
Early Zeppelin. Just gave you a taste of how good they would be. Four phenomenal musicians!!
When I was a senior in High school
The local radio station would play these two songs at lunch time ❤
Best band of all Time
The way it was played on the radio hear in Boston in the 70’s ❤️🔥🎸
Everywhere!
I never get tired of hearing that pair from their first album. I still notice new stuff in the tiniest little nuances in it.
A good friend of mine played lead guitar in a group, and he was good. When this came out I got him to listen to it, and he said, "There's single, picking, double picking, this is triple picking, and more." Impressive. Thanks for a great song to listen to with you, and God bless you!
I saw Led Zeppelin live in 1970 in Winnipeg. What can I say. Awesome.
Your comment about Layering the Bass line with Jimmy's guitar playing is the perfect description on Heartbreaker. The bonus was that you got 2 great songs bac2bac on the radio. No1 else was doing that.
This is a great combo of heavy Zep! Nothing beats the Page riffing!
All their riffs are legendary!

I saw Led Zeppelin perform Heartbreaker in concert in 1969 and 1970.
These are the tracks that you CAN ANK the volume and just lose yourself!!!💙💙💙
Fantastic! You are the first reactors I have seen that do both songs together as they are meant to be! Thanks! I was a senior in high school when this dropped!
Number One album world wide in 69 !
What an era to be alive, the late 60s and early 70s.I was about 13 years old, but knew this rock kicked some butt.
Best time of my life!
They were so big back in the day, and I was lucky enough to see them live!
Saw Led Zeppelin in Montreal on Feb 6, 1975. Jimmy Page played a guitar solo for Heartbreaker that lasted about 20 minutes
When Living Loving Maid finishes, I can almost hear Ramble On beginning
This song was such a powerful rush to me when I first heard it that I still remember that exact moment. I was driving & switched stations on the radio to the verse build up before the lead. I instantly recognized Page's guitar & JPJ's bass. I quickly pulled over & sat completely mesmerized & enraptured. I was in shock. It was like a powerful drug - PoW!

The boys in Led Zep were really feeling their oats on this whole album.
Woe to any other band on the same bill with them in 1969/70, they vaporized everyone else.
That guitar tone is the holy grail 😊. Also the solo dropped down from Mars
You summed up Jimmy perfectly. His guitar is always perfectly placed, structured but also very innovative. You can hear his years as a session musician in the way he plays, yet he also plays so many unique riffs and is experimental. I'm also a Hendrix fan but i have Jimmy as number 1, and yes i'm biased as hell.
"Traveling Riverside Blues" is good too, Or "Nobody's Fault But Mine".
The album "PRESENCE " has the most intense Zeppelin hard rock banger "NOBODYS FUALT BUT MINE" . Also the incredible next " great song " about their obsession with mythology
" ARCHILLIES LAST STAND " (think IMMIGRANT SONG on STEROIDES)
THANKS FOR EVERY THING YOU DO
NFBM and ALS are just incredible..... achilles is, for me, zeps best track, blows my mind every time
I like both these songs tons, but Heartbreaker especially is one of those tunes where you just feel automatically cooler for having listened to it!
You have to check out The Rain Song and Ten Years Gone. Rw I'm Two of their most liked gems by their fans. I would bet Ed Zeppelin would agree
Thanks for the Led Zeppelin ❤
Zeppelin are the greatest band. They really have no bad songs. Even the few songs people don’t seem to like like Hot Dog and the Crunge and Candy Store Rock are still quality songs.
I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone call Robert Plant Rob. That's was great!
All Of My Love and Fool in the Rain
Cool fact, when Jimmy Page played the neck of the guitar with one hand, someone at their LA concert was watching. That person was Eddie Van Halen, he went home and started experimenting with tapping. He got inspired by Jimmy Page.

On their first four albums there isn't a single bad song.
It is amongst the best recorded music in history
Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple the holy triad of rock music🤘
The rhythm section is insane.
I played this album until it warped lol. Another great reaction guys!
STILL my fave LZ album.
