Being 62 yrs old and watching younger people enjoying the same music as I enjoyed growing up is just heartwarming....This is a well done version...takes me back to my room and my parents pounding on my door "turn that down" lol......
LOL! : )
62 too
I'm 62 now, I had Physical Graffiti and The Song Remains The Same. Yeah, loud!
63. Yes, turn that down, and your listening with headphones on. Ha ha ha.
That is why Led Zeppelin is the band of the gods! There is no equal to this band! Robert Plants nod to Jimmy Page says “ we killed it “ !
The Rain Song is one of the most beautful and gorgeous songs of all times, pure beauty! Excellent video girls!
HELL YEAH!
Thank you Leonardo!
Love The Rain Song..Amazing song
I love your u Asian girls
@@mr.zeppelin9384 THEYRE MEXICAN !!!! OR HISPANIC !!!
The melody of this song is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life
I agree, is very powerful, you literally can feel anything with that song and melody.
You should see it live from MSG!
See it live...Madison Square Garden...The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song!
Yes, it's awesome. The Whole Led Zeppelin's discography is perfect
Jimmy Page was a master at using alternate tunings on the guitar. This song was in the key of G and Jimmy’s guitar was tuned to DGCGCD . Beautiful tuning.
I've been a fan of Led Zeppelin since 1974. They are the GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIMES!!!! Beautiful Song.
This was the song my wife and I had our “first dance” to at our wedding. Beautiful. The more you know about the band, the more you appreciate them
Our wedding song too! And, unfortunately, made a beautiful song for my husband’s funeral as well. To have a song be perfect for both experiences really speaks to the quality of the song.
To see and hear exactly what Zeppelin are capable of, check out ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You ‘ live at MSG in 1973.
Don't check out the MSG version! Honestly, check out the 'How The West Was Won' version. No one reacts to it, theres no video. But the music is better! I promise.
Jay W - for me, nothing beats the original studio/album version of that song
Any version will do tho just as long as you react to it on here ! I can't wait to see it!!
I agree with you about MSG (1973), I don’t think any other versions are as great as that one. You can really see & feel Plan’s passion, he’s singing from his soul, plus the peak of his vocals.
You get it girls. It’s a gift that you can feel these emotions, it makes you real and I think it’s great. Don’t change. 😃
Glad to see younger generations’ appreciation for classic rock, especially this band that will transcend time & space🤘🏽🎸🎤
So nice to see such young Led Zeppelin fans!!! The Rain Song is really a masterpiece and you girls did a great job!!! 👍🎶🎵🥁🙏
Thank you Freddy!
Love watching 2 young but mature girls enjoying music.
Thank God at least some of today's youth know what a cello is
Amen to that!
these rock gods are old here...but still in a class by themselves...as it will always be...glad u enjoyed, girls!
This might have been one of their best live performances ever, they were on.
I salute you girls for appreciating and enjoying Led Zeppelin ❤
Thank you Beshara!
I agree. I grew up in this era. Led Zeppelin is my #1 group. My next is Chicago (70s music only) same amazing talent. Individual singers writers of their music also. The brass is my favorite part. Terry kath ( guitar/ singer) rip to him. And Peter Ceteras mostly lead vocals .you must listen to them soon...you will love them.
@@mstewart109 wish I got to experience the 70’s and 80’s
Seeing Juliet & Mia wearing Led Zeppelin t-shirts and enjoying listening to one of the best songs does me heart so much good. God bless both of them.😊
“Upon us all a little rain must fall” are my favourite lyrics. This past year there has been a LOT.
Dad thank you so much for introducing your daughters to this GREAT music will thank you forever for keeping this great musix ALIVE!!!!
I remember asking my dad at age 13 to buy Led Zeppelin 4, at K Mart around 74 or 75. After that I was hooked man. This song in my opinion Jimmy Pages best song writing ever. The chorus and orchestra was all Jimmy Page as well, what to speak of the melody of the song was written for guitar. This is highly advanced guitar playing combined with Robert Plants voice.... it's the best. Nobody could touch them, they are truly the best rock band ever!
The look at the end from Robert Plant as he looks across at Jimmy page and simply nods -"Nailed it Jimmy"
WOW... this song ! When I was MUCH YOUNGER ! (1973), 15 yrs. old... I learned this song.
I was an only child so I just sat with my guitar all the time. I talked to my buds that I could play it.
A girl overheard our conversation... "You can play that ? I love it ! So romantic."
Well, I think we all know what happened then. ;-) I miss her.
Their most beautiful song for sure. What I love most about the music of Led Zeppelin is that it makes you FEEL.
It's great to see younger generation appreciate the music that I grew up listening to
You can never go wrong with Led Zeppelin! They have so many great songs! Their drummer was considered one of the best drummers in the world! And Jimmy page one of the greatest guitarists!🤟😎🤘👍rock on girls! Loved your reaction!❤️
These two young ladies have exquisite musical taste. Just gorgeous to see. Thank you Juliet and Mia for brightening up all our rainy days.
Ladies these two men are Rock & Roll Giants. Many place Jimmy in the TOP five of rock guitarists.Plants voice at times is almost an instrument in and of itself. Ladies your smiles and body language says it ALL. Try to imagine that was the music that was around when we were growing up.. At the end, they just look at each other and nod & smile. Many say Bonham was the best rock drummer ever... All I can tell you two is "Rock On..." ! And lastly, I love you all reaction and channel.. Thank you both.
I'm so happy that this music will continue thru todays youth.
I tear up watching the joy in your faces. Keep doin What your doin :)
Thank you Morgan!
The look on Robert Plants face at the end was priceless!! After all the bs, they both had that "just like old times" experience. Beautiful.
I just love to see the enthusiastic reactions from listening to Led Zeppelin puts a smile on my face.
Seeing these two very young ladies in Led Zep t-shirts and their enjoyment and true appreciation of this iconic music of my youth gives me hope for the future of our civilization.✌
I love when the whole Led Zeppelin band does this song live. I’m glad Plant & Page toured in the 90’s, but the best of any Led Zeppelin song, is the 4 rock GODS together.
Music that doesn't make you want to dance, but rather makes you want to listen. Music that makes you feel emotions. Music that reaches in all the way to your soul. Music that is the best music of all.
Hi girls, I'm so proud of you for reacting to the Rain Song Jimmy wrote. I was watching, waiting for you to feel the emotion. It's so beautiful❣️
Thank you, I hope you do more.
Props for digging into the No Quarter concert.
Classic. Kashmir was awesome at the end.
Margaret replying
Great to hear them again - too long ago, but wonderful to see & hear Jimmy & Robert once more! Margaret Henden
I just posted in an older video how awesome that version of Kashmir is.
I was lucky to see two of my heroes Plant Page when they went on tour in 1998. Palace of Auburn hills
@Scott Begonias
I was lucky to see them in '98 in Miami. It was a great show, still sounded like it was the '70's!
I seen them in cle. Ohio same time awsome
I saw Madison Square Garden :)
Nice skull emoji, I saw this tour at msg , Brendan Byrne and LI coliseum
@@sosmra Right on brother ✌️Been on the bus since my babysitter took me to a show in 84⚡
One of my favorite combo's.The amazing Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.what magic they created.I was lucky enough to meet John Paul Jones in the 90's.Really nice gentleman. Love this song. Brilliant song to say the least.
The smile on baby girl's face was the look on mine the first 20 years I listened to Zeppelin. I'm glad to see you kids having fun
First of All Ladies, Love them T Shirts!! Looking very Stylish 😎 And Kudos to your Knowledge of The members of The Mighty Led Zeppelin!!🎸
Thank you Lee!
Hey ladies, I love your reactions!
Just want to note this wasn't Led Zeppelin without John Bonham and John Paul Jones. This was a "Page & Plant" gig. Wonderful to hear them with a symphony orchestra!
you have discovered the greatest rock band. Their diversity of song and theme cannot be matched
One of the best songs ever written by them it's just amazing how the whole orchestra sounds!!!! ❤
I saw Zeppelin in '77 & Page/Plant in 97, promoting, Walking into Clarksdale. Led Zeppelin are Rock God's !!!
This is beautiful. Now go listen to LED Zeppelin at the MSG 1973 version done by 4 guys. It’s equally beautiful in its own way. The story I heard about this song, is that Bonzo and Jimmy Page were talking with George Harrison of the Beatles, and he said that Zeppelin never does ballads. Jimmy wrote this. This was an especially wonderful reaction. Thank you.
As a nod to George Harrison and the Beatles, Page includes a few chords from ‘Something ‘at the beginning of this song
And the Beatles had a song called "Rain"
@@scottbegonias313 That doesn't have anything to do with Jimmy calling it, "The Rain Song".
That little look followed by the nod Robert gives Jimmy at the end chokes me up every time. Jimmy had made it through some rough personal times and performed this song so beautifully. As perfect as it could possibly be without JPJ and JB. MARK
I love it when huge rock groups use classicly-trained musicians, who really get into the music. U2 does a song with a Harlem gospel choir that's awesome too.
The smiles on your faces says it ALL!!!!
Big fan since 1976 😊 E que violinos lindos 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Beautiful song😊 Wonderful
Such a beautiful song, I'm so glad you did this one and funny you mentioned it because it makes me tear up every time I listen to it and I'm a 58 year old man. Such a beautiful love song.
I am so happy that you both appreciate the group. It gives me faith in your generation. Now....go out and spread the word. Peace & Love. : ) OH, the guy playing the big stand up bass with glasses on, married Robert Plant's daughter. : )
Beautiful song. Loved your reaction. Saw Page and Plant live in both 1995 and 1998, and they were superb. TY.
I stepped into this episode of yours and The Rain Song is my favorite song from Zeppelin. And now I noticed I am wearing the zeppelin T, like you girls!
You girls rock!
Greetings from Japan
You girls should react to the song "Thank You" by Zeppelin. Robert Plant's lyrics are the ultimate homage to love. Good reaction ladies.
Thank you ! We will look into Thank you! : )
The lyrics to Thank You were my wedding vows.
@@danasfaith5738 If you guys take up 'Thank You', please do the video on 1971 Paris Theatre version (Jimmy's guitar tone is out of world on that one)
Tremendous! George Harrison of the Beatles said to John Bonham, "the problem with you guys is you never do ballads", a pissed of Page than wrote this in response.
Never heard that one?
@@sasquatch6903 it's true; Jimmy has said so in several interviews.
Heard Jimmy say this many times, yet never heard him say that he was "Pissed". Do know Page respected George quite a bit and pays homage to Harrison by starting tthe Rain Song with the same chord GH used on "Something". Always thought that was classy and very cool.
@@dlewtweentorla1210 perhaps Jimmy wasn't angry, but he did consider it a challenge, telling Brad Tolinski during an interview "George [Harrison] was talking to Bonzo one evening and said, 'The problem with you guys is that you never do ballads.' I said, 'I'll give him a ballad,' and I wrote 'Rain Song,' which appears on Houses of the Holy. In fact, you'll notice I even quote 'Something' in the song's first two chords." The song had a working title of "slush" due to its softer, more orchestral sound.
@@henriettaskolnick4445 know the exact quote you speak of.
Do think Jimmy did his best work when challenged and motivated. When he brought Achilles to the band (riff and concept), Jones' commented it would be impossible to do Live! To this day Page still says he's very proud of that song and is his favorite to play live !
Cheers
Led Zeppelin is totally growing on you guys, and Juliet you spaced out a couple of times - omg - and your reactions so subtle and sincere in this video, bless your hearts! I have watched you a second time from start to finish just to re-live the emotion. Amazing! Subscribed.
Thank you for your kind comment Chrome Ome! And Welcome to our channel! We hope that you'll like our future videos!
It's funny to hear an entire orchestra do what John Paul Jones did all by himself in the studio.
This is beautiful. I remember when this aired in 1994: where I was, who I was with, and how floored I was. RIP drummer Michael Lee, who was taken from us far too soon. I always admired his enthusiasm for playing.
I'm a big fan of Led Zeppelin from grade school until now. "Stairway To Heaven" is the first Led Zeppelin song that my late dad and elder brother taught me to play in guitar. Since then i became not just a fan but a believer and "The Rain Song" has always been one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. I love them so much and i love the fact that you guys love Led Zeppelin too. Very few people in your generation knew how great and legendary Led Zeppelin was. Rock 'N' ROLL to you cuties. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Sending you my love from the Philippines. ❤️🤘
I'm 57 and they still to this day they turn my body into a complete GOOSEBUMP! Great reaction ladies!
Thank you Kev!
I'm 57 and have listened to Led Zep my whole life and never lose interest. I just love that you found the best rock band of all time! You guys got great taste in music. Check out Robert Plants solo albums after Led Zep, there good to!
You need to see the movie "The Song Remains the Same". As new Zeppelin fans you will love it. After you paused in the middle, couldn't wait for your reaction to the crescendo I knew was coming. Your reactions, priceless.
It would seem you girls have become full fledged Zeppelin fans and why not. This is a perfect example of Page and Plant showing how versatile they are.Jimmy Page's playing on acoustic guitar here, is just beautiful and flawless. They are in their 40's here.Many years after they originally recorded and played it live.Love your reactions when the music really moves you. You both experience music on the level that it's meant to be experienced.
Thank you so much Bruce for your kind words!
This makes me so happy to see these young ladies really getting into what is probably my favorite band of all time!
Keep digging girls , it just gets better!
🐉🎸🎶🎵🌌💕💖💛🧠
Watching the emotions that you both go through listening to Led Zeppelin brings me to tears..
Thank you for your reaction videos.. keep up the great work, you are both stars 🌟
🤟😎✌
AWE! Thank you Gerrard! You are too kind!
OMG I love your shirts!! Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all :) So nice to see that their music is still being enjoyed by younger generations. Thanks girls for sharing this wonderful reaction vid :) Keep up the good work
Thank you Robert!
"Blue-eyed gospel". When the drums and bass come together with the guitar, you are suddenly in church. You feel it. It is devotional music.
Girls, I highly recommend "Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin with Anne and Nancy Wilson performing Stairway To Heaven". Women Rock! So do you two!
Thank you Bill!
Cute how the younger girl keeps looking to the older girl for approval ... Good work girls keep it up .
The drummer here is Michael Lee. Another great talent tragically taken from us at a young age.
My two favorite ladies reacting to two of my favorite rockers. I saw them twice and one of the times i saw them they did this wonderful song.
Thank you Doug and that must have been beautiful to watch live!
Guys your reaction is perfect emotional is what The Rain Song is all about🙏🏽❤️
Wow, they nailed that performance. That is good quality sound for a live show also. I noticed the pick being thrown away also. I always stick mine in my mouth when I want to switch to plucking the strings instead of strumming. When you throw the pick there is always the chance that it will stick to your fingers. For real.
Ok girls, since you loved that
Video, you need to see a earlier Live stage performance, with them Standing on Stage. You see Jimmy lose himself in the mellowness of the melody. It's almost hypnotic to watch him.
And Bonham's drums are epic!
@Less Than Laughing
Wow they sure nailed it. I was impressed with the Orchestra too! I'm glad to hear you're not just a Zeppelin fan but also play Guitar too! Your right about the pick sticking to your fingers, I've noticed Jimmy has a pick in his mouth at times. He's also had them slip and fall, and someone runs up to give him one. He had a great crew I'm sure. I'm happy I saw Page and Plant in '98, they sounded great then too. I hope you did too!
@@julesrose7738 Nope...where I grew up (A medium sized city in the south) Led Zeppelin never got near us, unless maybe they were in Memphis or St. Louis, but I was a senior in 1981 and didn't get to St. Louis or Memphis for a visit until Led Zeppelin had already gone KAPUT! The only bands that would come to my town were Rush and Cheap Trick, and they came just about every year so I have seen them plenty of times. Later YES came through so I was able to strike that off of my bucket list. It was the Talk concert tour, and although Yes had been slowly going downhill with their new stuff (just my opinion) the Talk album was simply incredible, as good as 90125 but not getting any radio hits. Are you a Yes fan...you have to check out Talk.
As far as pick-in-mouth disease, I have three instrumentals I made up that require plucking at the end, and I am getting pretty good at stuffing the pick between my lips fast enough to not lose the beat. One of those songs is actually called My Pick Tastes Funny.
Oh girl ⚘
I teared up and the first tear dropped as you uttered "I'm already crying" ...❤🙏❤🔥🤘😭
I love watching you gals it makes me know that this music will still exist and that means a LOT thanks for keeping it alive!!
I'm a baby boomer.. Always loved these guys.. The music of my youth and these two still have it... The Rain Song is one of my favorites and the song just makes me lay back and smile.
I was fortunate enough to be of the age when these songs were released. They are the sound of my childhood,my teenhood, my adulthood.
This is how I felt when I discovered them.
Bonzo made me become a drummer.
Zeppelin made me a musician.
Thanks for the flashbacks!
Well done,ladies!
"Ramble On"
I am thrilled that you are feeling and loving the music I grew up with. My grandchildren are 14, 6 and 4 and I share the music with them. I tell them it is important to keep good music alive. Thank you for being good humans and welcome to the rabbit hole🥰
P. S. Cool shirts👍🏻😎
Hey girls.. Good Cho!ice. Lil older here. Luv watching for your reaction to the mellow Zep.. And waiting for them to break out.. I liked how you interpreted this.. Peace and Family.
Plant and Page don't disappoint.. And yes, they are Plant and Page here.. After 1980, John Bonham passed away and Robert said they were no longer considered Led Zeppelin.. Out of Loyalty and respect to John "Bonzo" Bonham. Thanks for the post👍
Thank you Kat!
My favorite Zeppelin tune. Thank you!
Ooooh the chills you to felt when the orchestra came in! Perfect! I felt it too even tho I know this song well! Thank you!!!😁😁😁😁
fantastic to see youth digging the songs we grew up with. Thank you for being open minded! Music will never disappoint you! Its true...
Beautiful reaction for a beautiful melody.
This is from Page and Plant MTV Unplugged!
Imho, this is their best filmed outing!!
They revision many of their songs in a great way, including Battle of Evermore, Four Sticks and the best Kashmir I’ve heard. They use an Egyptian ensemble taking it to a new level!
UPON US ALL, A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL! How epic is that? I know people wanted the song from the MSG concert, but I am glad your dad chose this version. A mature Plant & Page from the 90's. This song was not going to have vocals, at first, but Page wanted Plant to sing. Please listen to the original when you can. You will appreciate the song more. This song is also on the DVD you received-The Song Remains The Same! Plant is amazing in concert singing it-full of emotion. Loved your comments and both of you were spot on with them. One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. They were told by another musician (George Harrison from The Beatles) they should do a love song & there you have it. Glad you both felt emotions when listening to the song. I always do. I would love to see you both react to another rain song by Zeppelin-Fool In The Rain! You keep saying Zeppelin brings something new each time, they do in the song I mentioned. You will like it. Hope everyone is staying safe! Blessings & Love! 💖
Excellent! Just one little correction, actually the song that was planned to be an instrumental is The Song Remains the Same, not The Rain Song. Long live the mighty Zeppelin!
@@leonardosmaniotto thank you for clearing that one up. I read some place The Rain Song was to be an instrumental only as the melody was so beautiful but then Page decided the song would be better with Plant singing so he had Plant write the lyrics. I guess you can't rely on articles these days as you never know if it is true or false...lol. I know my Zep history as I am a huge fan but thanks for calling me out on this one. Greatly appreciate it! ✌
Thank you Suzy for liking our reaction! Our dad always tells us that Led Zeppelin are so loved that different people have different choice of concerts! And he went with this one! LOL! I believe that Led Zeppelin can play a baby's rhyme song and Mia and I would be happy to listen o that! LOL! ! Mia and I love them, even though we were missing John Bonham and John Paul Jones, we still loved the way that both Page and Plant played and interpreted the song! : )
@@danasfaith5738 you are welcome. I could not wait for the two of you to react to the song. I like the fact your dad decided to go with the Plant & Page version when they toured together in the 90's. A bit different from the Zeppelin days but it seemed to work & fans went to the concerts. Bonham & Jones were missed...I agree with you on that. As I mentioned, you can always watch the DVD a loyal fan sent with Plant singing The Rain Song from the MSG concert. He nailed it. I laughed about the baby rhyme song comment...lol. So true! As I mentioned in my main comment, down the road, please have your dad review Fool In The Rain for the two of you to react to. Bonham makes the song...trust me. A different sound for the band. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more Zeppelin and other artists! Let's keep the music journey going! Blessings and love! 💖
You both got Zep shirts! You both have great spirits! It is very very cool that you are leading your generation to Led Zeppelin. Rock is getting its second wind after it almost killed itself in the 80s, lots of new folks who are carrying the torch!
The whole 'Unledded' concert video is flat out amazing - you HAVE to check out the Page & Plant version of "Kashmir".
Great reaction as always, ladies !
Thank you ThatOneGuyAgain! We'll ask our dad to take a look at Page & Plants "Kashmir"
That is so beautiful to see you guys into every note.
This song can bring out the best in the hardest heart! God Bless you girls for posting this!
Jimmy (the guitarist) wrote this song and he wrote most of the Led Zepellin songs. This DVD concert is the clearest sound ever of a Led Zeppelin ever released in 1994. In that same concert they also played the best version of their song Kashmir ever. Check it out. That video is called No Quarter Kashmir. search it. :)
Bellas niñas me alegra que les gusta la verdadera música y led Zeppelin es la mejor banda de todos los tiempos.,hermosa melodía y letra.
You Sweeties make me laugh! (You are about my daughters ages.)
This was AM Radio when I was your age!
I'm very glad that you're enjoying Zep.
It's really great to see that younger generations are appreciating music of my generation, it's called music appreciation 101!!!
my Favorite Led Zep Song!!!!
A great reaction by two of my favorite reactors! You girls are becoming stars! If you think you can stand another one of Led Zeppelin's softer songs I would recommend "Battle of Evermore", an absolute gem!
I really love the "No Quarter" MTV concert. Great song. I also love "No Quarter" and one of the biggest-energy acoustic songs out there, "Four Sticks"
It’s about time you got the Led out! Girls this isn’t L.Z. it’s just Plant and Page. You have to watch the Garden concert when they performed this tune for a real treat! Bonzo had passed away by this time. Don’t know why JPJ wasn’t invited to do this tour. DO MORE L.Z. PLEASE!!!
Another fantastic job ladies! Yes Led Zeppelin really makes the body feel good and refreshes the soul.
I am so so proud of you girls. You two are now family. The song represents the Four Seasons of Love and relationships. The springtime is so romantic the summer is so much fun the winter is so filled with challenges the fall is the realization of the light in the torch that will must realize and follow
Aww! Thank you Andrew!
Their dad must be really proud of his daughters - jeeze any dad would - These girls will be Zep fans for life. and they will teach their "bemused", future boyfriends and girlfriends what real music is about - - - Keep up the good work ladies and say thanks to your mom and dad for me for doing such a good job.
Jimmy Page took a Zeppelin track called "Swan Song" and he re-worked it for his other band THE FIRM. Paul Rodgers sings the vocals. The song by The FIRM is called "Midnight Moonlight". It's really cool.
Jimmy can play any guitar be it acoustic, electric, nuclear, neutron, or Di-lithium crystals he’s a master. Wish JPJ had been there. Great reaction ladies! You had some very good points for such young people!
Thank you Mark!
Mark: Was this the 94 “reunion” where they disgracefully blew off JPJ???
@@kenduffy5397 I think so but only 60%. From Pages hair it has to be around that time as it grayed in the 2000's. It was bad that JPJ wasn't involved for what ever reason as he was such an integral part of their whole being. They were all such great musicians that taking one out of the equation is not a plus.
@@Cashcrop54 Mark, I couldn't agree with you more. That’s also how noticed it had to be around that timeframe. Because of the ages Plant and Page look. It was very cool that they had a full string ensemble. It was VERY uncool to exclude not only a founding member but probably the most talented Multi-instrumentalist Bassist and arranger of just not Led Zeppelin, but of his era. Be seeing there was a full string section there was no need for John to play the Mellotron. Still no excuse to not have him playing his famous 1962 Jazz Bass! If they wanted to strictly keep it an acoustic set up he was more than capable of holding his own on upright bass. Though knowing John as an A1 classically trained musician. He would have left the Double bass duties to an expert upright bass player. Also, it would have been AWESOME if John was the Conductor! It probably would have sold 3/4 more than it did, had he arranged and conducted the entire string section! John was an expert in string arranging especially full ensembles. He learned these skills first hand growing up as the son of his professional musician and Big Band arranger father. Along with his mother who was a classically trained Pianist & Vocalist. It would have kept Plants & Pages “Led Zeppelin’s” reputation intact. They did not feel the repercussions at first. Though, as time went by? As would be expected. A music writer eventually found & asked John. “Why didn’t you perform with Jimmy and Robert?” His answer was disturbing at best & sad a worst. (I’m paraphrasing) “Well, they never called me and asked if I would like to join them” Writer: “Would you have played with them if they called?” John: “Well, we’ll never know the answer to that, because I was never asked!” “ I’ve known them practically my inter adult life & had they asked me? I’m not sure I could have said no“ “Me and Maureen have had the same phone number for over 30 years now” Writer: “How does that make you feel?” John: “I will admit, I was a bit taken back by it all. I didn’t know about it until everyone else did.” I read somewhere Mark that JPJ read in a news article that the Beatles were so famous that they couldn’t go anywhere without getting mobbed. So from the very beginning, he told himself “I don’t want to live like that!” That was the last thing I wanted for myself. I didn’t want to have the privilege of travelling the world and not being able to go outside and enjoy different towns, people, cultures. I didn’t want to travel across America in a hotel room & a limousine. Especially when in those extremely rare times my wife would travel with me and leave the children home with their grandparents. That’s where it’s believed the animosity started when he (JPJ) would sometimes walk out a different door with a hat & sunglasses on. So as not to be recognized by fans. Whereas Robert and Jimmy loved the attention & would walk out the main door & get mobbed by fans, especially very attractive female fans. John didn’t want any part of it. Now with that said. Lol, JPJ partied, fornicated & lived the life of a Rock Star just as much as the other 3, if not more?! He just kept it on the DL. I don’t know about you Mark, but I call that being smart in my book! But not just smart in my book. I believe it was Peter Grant (don't quote me that it was Grant. It may have been a member of their Entourage) who said “Jonesy? Ah, Jonesy was the easiest one of them all to handle.” “He never talked?He goes and do his own thing and always is back in time for soundcheck. Then he’d go backstage with other the boys, eat & knock a few back while preparing to go on stage. “He did partake in the debauchery just as much as the rest then for the first few years.” “But he never had bad press strictly about him.” Anyways, at some point in late 77 to 80. He often started to stay in a different hotel? I’m sure it was to get away from it all? Especially when his wife Maureen was with him! But apparently, it didn’t go over well with Jimmy & Robert (lol come on, the Dude has his wife on the road) Bonzo? Well, Bonzo, was Bonzo & he could careless about where or what Jonesy was doing. As long as he stood in his same spot every night on stage so I (Bonzo) could read JPJ’s body language if I couldn’t hear him or they both decided to improvise, only if they COULD hear each other. Which, as I’m sure you know… Led Zeppelin generally improvised a lot. Especially when the fans didn’t want them to leave the stage! JPJ was never late or missed any rehearsals, soundcheck’s and performances. That’s one thing Jimmy did do (& John) everything and anything in regards to the band and music was very strict and ALWAYS professional! The other stuff, away from the band & music? He didn’t care, why would he? It’s not a secret anymore, that he loved his Heroin. I don’t mean to ramble Mark but as a bass player myself. I tend to take it a little too personal, sorry. JPJ is one of my Heroes! He wrote some of Zeppelins biggest hits! These are a few he wrote: Black Dog, No Quarter, Royal Orleans, All My Love, How Many More Times, Fool in the Rain’, In the Light, Trampled Under Foot, The Rain Song etc.
@@kenduffy5397 Well said! I love watching JPJ and John playing live. They interact well. The fact that they could play such acrobatic time signatures and polyrhythmic beats, like "Fool in the Rain" came from their solid foundation. Thanks for the info on JPJ. Great stuff.
That was amazingly beautiful in so many ways !! Thank you ladies for doing what you do !! There is so much more beautiful music of the 70’s you should react to!!
Thank you Kevin!
About 7 years ago I told my wife and son that I wanted this version of the Rain Song played at my funeral. When I go home from work I'm going to remind them just in case they forgot.
four symbols on the label and inside sleeve of Led Zeppelin IV, represent (from left to right) Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant. ... The idea for each member of the band to choose a personal emblem for the cover was Page's.
