TRUE, but, this was Jimmy's vision and practically the whole 1st album he had in his head ready to go... but as u said, the magic was in the BAND. PEACE.
You haven't done the live version of The Song Remains the Same from their 1973 MSG live album...also The Ocean from the same show! Greatest band ever! Fact!
After the Yardbirds, Jimmy Page (24) wanted to form a new group; it was 1968. He auditioned Robert Plant, (20) who knew John Bonham and brought them in. He knew JPJ from being a session musician. Keith Moon (of The Who) named the group by saying it would probably "go over like a lead balloon" and changed it to Led Zeppelin (left out the "a" in lead because he figured Americans couldn't pronounce it right, lol). So, that's the abridged version of how they got together.
LED is a conjugation of the verb TO LEAD. ie. "I led the dog down the mountain trail." ie. "I am led to believe that this tactic will not work." ie. "The people were led astray." All of what you say about Keith Moon's statement is true, but the guys used the homophone LEAD vs LED because of its difference in meaning. They didn't use it because they thought Americans wouldn't understand the spelling. The Zeppelin is being LED somewhere - Led Zeppelin.
@@TRUMP-2024-STF What Moon said was that the band would go down like a LEAD balloon. The use of LED is a homophone., or they would have used the name LEAD Zeppelin.
@@robrobert9541 They took out the a.. cause they thought Americans wouldn’t understand.. It’s not a zeppelin leading the way.. it’s a led ballon crashing. It’s a British idiom. Meaning failure. Not a sentence structure breakdown Like raining cats and dogs.

I was a babe-in-the-woods as far as RnR was concerned when I entered college in September 1970. Fortunately, I lived in a scholarship house with 10 upper classmen, two years farther along in worldly knowledge. THEY WERE MY MUSIC MENTORS and I cannot thank them enough for ushering me into the realm of so many iconic bands. Anyway, I'm getting to the age (70 at this writing) when some of those lyrics are leaving my grey "filing cabinet." I've got to rely on RUclips now for repeated playings of hits I can remember the titles of.
Right they took other songs and made them better and their own!!! You have so many more songs to listen to! If I was on a desert Island by myself and only had one band I could listen to it would be the mighty and great Led Zepplin!!!
The best material Zeppelin made was entirely their own and completely original. They covered blues songs well early on , but they also composed brilliant original music.
Peter Tea : Sorry but LZ is not blues. Didn't care for their early albums. Grew up in Chicago area and I was fortunate that I got to see many of the blues legends perform...
@@cesarnarro6013 Of course they are. Their musicianship spans many genres. This song has components from Howlin Wolf and Albert King, both blues greats. I grew up in Chicago and still live here too. I’ve seen many blues greats too. Not sure what that has to do with this though. I guess you think it gives you cred. Lol. Ok.
@@PeterTea I didn't make the statement that seeing Blues artist gave me cred. At the time when Zep's first album album came out I personally wouldn't go see them if I wanted to hear some good blues. Yes they rocked out but I feel they got better in some of there later albums. Still say they were never a blues band
Me too. I pretty much rate them in the order they came out. The more studio overdubs and add-ons, the less I'm inclined to rate them as highly. On the first two albums, they were basically all in the room, at the same time, playing to each other. This is rock and roll to me. By the time we get to the multiple guitar symphonies and an over abundance of keyboards, I'm impressed, but tending to look the other way.
@@eviekelpie1 'No Quarter' live at MSG along with 'Since I've Been Loving You' from Led Zeppelin III, are my two favorites of theirs. I'm not too crazy about the 'No Quarter' from the studio. I think it grows up when the band is on stage, though.
Chod.....I really wish you would look at a live video session of this song 1969 Dansmark radio. Young and still humble but brash. Good quality video. Don't have to react....do it for yourself. You'll appreciate seeing it I'm sure....
@@Scoobydcs Can't go wrong but respectfully disagree. I think the sound and video quality is better on Dansmark radio and they just released their first album and were relatively unknown. Royal Albert happened after their LP stormed to the top..... Plus the intimate setting on Dansmark is a rarity.
When Led Zeppelin got together they recorded their 1st album in just 30 hours! It has more hits on it than many major groups had in their career. Their name was inspired by a prediction of failure Keith Moon of The Who made saying “They would go down like a led balloon”
The gods created this masterpiece of a band. Every musician is a GOAT. Collectively, epic band, timeless, intergenerational talent. They were destined to be together, thankfully.
Like they've all said, from the first time they jammed, they new there was something special, a chemistry that comes along so one in a million. It doesn't always matter how talented the musicians are, cause everyone knows there are tons of uber talented people we never heard of. It's when a bunch of guys find each other by chance and create one monster and compliment each other without even trying. Something every musician dreams of finding. It's why I think Plant was right in not wanting to continue after Bonzo died. He didn't want some mortal version of Zep, he'd rather leave it at its highest expression. I'm glad he did that.
I might have mentioned to you before or someone else. Their secret was the combination of two seasoned pros Page and Jones, and two raw unbridled talents Bonham and Plant. Their leader Page was fearless and took chances with their direction. Oh, and don't hurt that each one was among the best at their discipline. Bonham was probably the best drummer ever.
I watch these videos on my phone when I need to kill a few minutes. This song really drove home how much I'm missing out on. I dont know why I don't use some headphones, at least for Led Zepoelin.
@@kurtsaxton823 Both were definitely game changers but Hendrix was the catalyst for what came out the next 3 years.. Put on yer headphones and listen to Third Stone From The Sun and Are You Experienced … then move over to his 2nd record, Axis Bold As Love.. both done in 1967…
You meant to say The most amazing debut records ever recorded... you cant top the best Led Zep ... everyone else comes second best ... How many more times do you need to hear that !
Great reaction. The first time I saw them i wondered if RP would sound like he did on the albums .. and he did. Back in the day, they got so little coverage on tv or in the press they became mythical, like, were they for real?
Chod, I knew you would love this one as soon as I saw you were reacting to it! You have an impressive start to your Led Zeppelin collection, but here are a few more excellent tracks for you to pursue! Ramble On, Good Times Bad Times, Going to California, Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid, Hey Hey What Can I Do, Misty Mountain Hop, The Ocean, and of course the excellent Battle of Evermore! Keep on enjoying the journey and we will continue to enjoy watching you do so! This group is on the Mount Rushmore of rock bands, no doubt!
There is no doubt that the fireworks up front were what grabbed the attention, an Apollo with the mane of a lion and a voice stolen from the gods themselves, a guitarist,songwriter, producer, innovator and waif like, dragon suited wizard who conducted the proceedings with the bombast of Wagner and the subtlety of a minstrel. No doubt about it. But what made them different from pretty much every group before or since? The groove! JPJ could play anything you put in front of him and he could groove as well as any bass guitarist going. And behind the drums sat a man with a foot like a castanet and a swing in his playing like the greatest of the jazz drummers. And his sound was, as the band later said...the hammer of the gods. The whole band swung like no one before and no one since. Their treasures are waiting for you find. Enjoy.
In 1977 I drove from Chicago to Los Angeles by myself with everything I owned, a cat and 3 Eight Track Tapes; Average White Band's Soul Searching, Pink Floyd's Animals and this Led Zeppelin's first album. Brings back great memories. Love that you listen to the songs all the way through - the way they were intended to be listened to!
Last song on Zep 1--It came out the summer going into my senior year in HS-what a time to be alive-leaves you wanting more. And they gave us more that same year. Thanks for going back to my and your favorite---Oh Rosie, why did this have lines through it and now it doesn't?
Tangerine, in the evening, or thank you are 3 ledzeppelin songs. Also try the rolling stones till the next time we say goodbye, the official video version
At the height of their fame they would play 3 hour live shows mate! Talk about getting more than your money's worth! I know Page, Plant, Bonham were heavily influenced by American Blues music imported from the USA. Post WWII - the 1950's there was some kind of cultural exchange with American music albums being sent to the UK. The bulk of it [from what I've read] were blues records. Many british teens ate that stuff up, and kids like Page was obsessed with it. By the time Led Zeppelin got together Page and Jones were well known studio session players, and Bonham was in a full-time band with Tim Rose [an American singer//songwriter in the UK] making decent money. No too sure about Plant but either way [good//bad] he was active. More to the story but you get the gist of it. I will say their first rehearsal together was pure magic! Jones said from the first note the room Exploded. Jones was like: "WHAT THE FAWK?!" The rest is Legend! Cheers!
The heartbreak you speak of must have happened to Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett), who wrote this song and also 'Killin' Floor (The Lemon Song.) No shade to Zeppelin, who as you said, took these songs and put them into overdrive, but facts is facts. That said I believe personally that Led Zeppelin is one of the four "Mount Rushmore" groups of rock and roll along with The Beatles, The Stones, and The Who. There are a great many other greats, but you can probably trace the influence upon most rock groups who came after to those four entities. The Beatles influenced everybody. The Stones played it simple, hard-edged, and made things accessible to even neophyte players. The Who and Zeppelin (also a guy named Jimi Hendrix) made ear-splitting, bombastic music popular, and songwriters like John Lennon, Pete Townshend, and the guy who most influenced Pete, Ray Davies, of The Kinks, brought thought-provoking lyrics into the world of wop bop a loo wop a lop bam boom...
Jimmy Page thinks it was luck that they were all so talented and all had similar ideas and chemistry with each other. This will probably never happen again.
Doing a great job! Led and Deep Purple were my two favorite groups growing up.. I'm 67 and between 1972 and 1975 I saw Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin twice. OMG you have no idea! Led played 3.25 hours the first time and 3 hours the second show. The second show was so loud all we heard was a buzz in our heads after the show LOLOL I saw Mach II and Mach III Deep Purple versions and both were explosive. Richie Blackmore IMO is the greatest guitar playing of that era and maybe off all time!! Their encore when I saw them in Pittsburgh in Aug 1972 was Child in Time. Unbelievable! Enjoy!
bout time u heard this classic THANK YOU for doing studio first that means u get the authentic same thing we all heard back then which has not grown old ! ill never forget getting this album this was the closing song best debut album ever
Led Zeppelin has a live album taken from two nights of concerts at The Long Beach Auditorium titled “How The West Was Won” that I know you will LOVE‼️ I was there for one night👍🏼🙏🏻💛 ITS FANTASTIC ‼️
This is a great one for Bonham samples. It's unpredictable, and different, and he remembered every song how he played it. That alone sounds crazy, but it's sort of like perfection...
While I haven’t listened to this song in a number of years, I still know every word and musical nuance. Thank you fir the reminder to pull this off the shelf.
speaking of heartbreak, I don't think you've done "Heartbreaker / Living Loving Maid" yet. though technically two songs they go together like peas and carrots. The entire first album (which this song is on ) was entirely put together in 36 hours without any kind of recording contract or even the name Led Zeppelin. simply amazing!
Ok some suggestions; *Over the hills and far away *Nobody's fault but mine *Bring it on home *Communication Breakdown *Boogie with Stu *Candy Store Rock
Chod, I got into Zep late in '82 aged 20 when my first husband introduced them to me when we met. I binged in Zep the entire weekend. I think my jaw didn't stop dropping 🤣. No other group has topped them since that day 39 years ago!
I remember, at 15, sitting on the floor, cross legged and all around a record player in the middle of my circle of friends. My “girlfriend” had just bought Led Zeppelin I. I remember peeling the cellophane off of it, dropping the needle on it for the first time, and............well, the world was never really the same for me. As they say, dinner with your parents was somehow different from that point on.
You are 100% correct, absolutely the best band of all time! I fell down the rabbit hole at 14 in the mid 70s. James Patrick Page, Robert Anthony Plant, John Henry Bonham and John Paul Jones are awesome musicians individually, but together Hot Damn!!
This song, as well as Led Zeppelin's first album, made me a star with my college friends at UCLA. I heard some of it on KMET, one of L.A.'s first underground FM stations, and drove all over LA looking for the album. I finally found it at Licorice Pizza in Long Beach. Called up some friends, found a safe place, smoked a little herb, and listened over and over late into the night until our ears were ringing. At that time, there was no band putting out anything even close to what Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham were doing.
Fantastic reaction! You know what you like and what's real musically. There is no other band that compares to Zeppelin imho, Pink Floyd is a close 2nd, and are the greatest in what they do, but LZ has way too many hits and out of their entire catalog there are only 4 ⭐⭐⭐ songs including the album Coda, the rest are mostly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ songs with some ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here and there, but of course that's my opinion, I'm sure the haters will disagree lol
8:52.. cuando entra bonham pegandole a la bateria.. en ese mismo instante se quiebra el tiempo y antecede al huracan paige-plant.. que animalada de cancion por dios. Led Zeppelin para siempre.. lo que me sorprendio siempre es la calidad sonora de este album. creeria que fue en mono la grabacion original.. que asesino es este sonido, arrollador y directo al cerebro como una bala
What a way to close an awesome debut album!! You gotta remember that Robert Plant was NINETEEN when this was recorded!! I've been a Zeppelin fan since 1973!! Jimmy Page was my first guitar god crush!! I would say the only okay Led Zeppelin songs are on the final two, 'In Through the Out Door' and 'Coda,' the latter of which was released after John Bonham's passing in 1980. Yes, there are a few good songs on those 2, however the previous 7 were outstanding!! My personal favorite is 'Physical Graffiti,' which was released just before I turned 16! I love them!!! Still in my Top 5. ❤❤❤❤❤
I can listen to Hot Dog by LZ and feel good just like with any other song they made ,even their sad songs get you going ..Any song as you say is good . Put on any LZEP Song and feel good and alive about the fact that we can hear it and have a good time while it will last ./**********
I usually don't suggest this, but there are some groups that deserve album reviews because the bands are just that damn good. And those bands would be Zep, Rush, Steely Dan, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Sabbath, Stones, Yes, ELP. Some of these have too much music for an all-albums review, like Rush, Stones, Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, and Yes, but they each have a good ten albums worth of great material.
I had to give this a thumbs up before I listened. I've heard it a thousand times and it never gets old 👍
Me too LOL
Me too! 🥰
I knew a "Sandy Miller" many moons ago....how funny.
@@mikeloomis687 I know a Windy Miller from Camderwick Green LOL
How many more times will you listen to it?
OK NOW it's time for Nobody's Fault But Mine-Led Zeppelin ✌
Yes!
💯 yes!!!
Oh Jimmy!
Yes yes and yes. Nobody’s fault is a no nonsense kick ass rock n roll 🎧 song
This group is Page's baby but without the other 3 there is no Led Zep all four together is magic.
TRUE, but, this was Jimmy's vision and practically the whole 1st album he had in his head ready to go... but as u said, the magic was in the BAND.
PEACE.
Zeppelin...enough said!
My favorite Led Zeppelin song ever.
The greatest band of all time!!!!!!
From their debut album! IMHO the best debut album OAT!
Excellent! The shuffle beat Bonham plays to guide the "steal away" passage back towards the main riff is simply awesome.
You haven't done the live version of The Song Remains the Same from their 1973 MSG live album...also The Ocean from the same show! Greatest band ever! Fact!
Jimmy started the band it was his vision!
They’re just untouchable
You pegged it dude...that’s why I’ve been listening to them for 50 yrs...never heard any better..
Think about it. This was 1969. There was nothing like this before or since. Plant & Bonzo were in a band together b4 Zep. The Band Of Joy.
Love your zeppelin reactions I just can't get enough.
BONZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥nough said!
There's a fantastic live version of this from royal Albert Hall. It's a 20 minute jam session!!
Jimmy gets the cello bow out for this track too
All 4 members were great. It is amazing that they met at the same time .... right time right place! Zep was meant to be

Great reaction , And you nailed the “copyright” complaints too!
Jimmy Page thinks it was luck that they were all so talented and all had similar ideas and chemistry with each other. This will probably never happen again.
Doing a great job! Led and Deep Purple were my two favorite groups growing up.. I'm 67 and between 1972 and 1975 I saw Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin twice. OMG you have no idea! Led played 3.25 hours the first time and 3 hours the second show. The second show was so loud all we heard was a buzz in our heads after the show LOLOL I saw Mach II and Mach III Deep Purple versions and both were explosive. Richie Blackmore IMO is the greatest guitar playing of that era and maybe off all time!! Their encore when I saw them in Pittsburgh in Aug 1972 was Child in Time. Unbelievable! Enjoy!
bout time u heard this classic THANK YOU for doing studio first that means u get the authentic same thing we all heard back then which has not grown old ! ill never forget getting this album this was the closing song best debut album ever
One of the few other songs that Jimmy uses the bow on.
Led Zeppelin has a live album taken from two nights of concerts at The Long Beach Auditorium titled “How The West Was Won” that I know you will LOVE‼️ I was there for one night👍🏼🙏🏻💛 ITS FANTASTIC ‼️
This is a great one for Bonham samples. It's unpredictable, and different, and he remembered every song how he played it. That alone sounds crazy, but it's sort of like perfection...
Check out "I'm Gonna Crawl" by Led Zeppelin
While I haven’t listened to this song in a number of years, I still know every word and musical nuance. Thank you fir the reminder to pull this off the shelf.
speaking of heartbreak, I don't think you've done "Heartbreaker / Living Loving Maid" yet. though technically two songs they go together like peas and carrots.
The entire first album (which this song is on ) was entirely put together in 36 hours without any kind of recording contract or even the name Led Zeppelin. simply amazing!
Ok some suggestions;
*Over the hills and far away
*Nobody's fault but mine
*Bring it on home
*Communication Breakdown
*Boogie with Stu
*Candy Store Rock
How can you leave off Goodtimes badtimes ? Bonzo's kills it with the rolling bass drum.
When the levee breaks
The part where he says little Robert wants to come out and play always gives me a chuckle.
You need to react to in the light by Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin is blues on steroids Robert Plant is the quintessential rock singer.
Chod, I got into Zep late in '82 aged 20 when my first husband introduced them to me when we met. I binged in Zep the entire weekend. I think my jaw didn't stop dropping 🤣. No other group has topped them since that day 39 years ago!
I remember, at 15, sitting on the floor, cross legged and all around a record player in the middle of my circle of friends. My “girlfriend” had just bought Led Zeppelin I. I remember peeling the cellophane off of it, dropping the needle on it for the first time, and............well, the world was never really the same for me. As they say, dinner with your parents was somehow different from that point on.
“I Can’t Quit You Babe”
2 high caliber club circuit musicians lead by 2 other high caliber studio session aces...thats how it happened baby!! " no LZ song is just ok! " LOL
Not bad for a debut album, eh?
You are 100% correct, absolutely the best band of all time! I fell down the rabbit hole at 14 in the mid 70s. James Patrick Page, Robert Anthony Plant, John Henry Bonham and John Paul Jones are awesome musicians individually, but together Hot Damn!!
Once again , the best way to listen to this gem is with headphones. Great song...a personal favorite.
This song, as well as Led Zeppelin's first album, made me a star with my college friends at UCLA. I heard some of it on KMET, one of L.A.'s first underground FM stations, and drove all over LA looking for the album. I finally found it at Licorice Pizza in Long Beach. Called up some friends, found a safe place, smoked a little herb, and listened over and over late into the night until our ears were ringing. At that time, there was no band putting out anything even close to what Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham were doing.
Stretchgilbert mentioned Zeppelin tune nobody’s fault but mine, That a Great Next Zeppelin choice ! 👍
You didn't say it......the best one is the next one ...sooooo....."What is and what should never be".... is the best one!!
Zep rules. Blues meets Prog Rock meets Punk meets Folk meets India meets Elvis.
Fantastic reaction! You know what you like and what's real musically.
There is no other band that compares to Zeppelin imho, Pink Floyd is a close 2nd, and are the greatest in what they do, but LZ has way too many hits and out of their entire catalog there are only 4 ⭐⭐⭐ songs including the album Coda, the rest are mostly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ songs with some ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here and there, but of course that's my opinion, I'm sure the haters will disagree lol
Page played his ass off on this track.
as i remember this was whole album was recorded in 2 weeks
30 hours total. Jimmy and John Paul paid for the studio time. Presence was done in 3 weeks.
thanks men. this starts my day
8:52.. cuando entra bonham pegandole a la bateria.. en ese mismo instante se quiebra el tiempo y antecede al huracan paige-plant.. que animalada de cancion por dios. Led Zeppelin para siempre.. lo que me sorprendio siempre es la calidad sonora de este album. creeria que fue en mono la grabacion original.. que asesino es este sonido, arrollador y directo al cerebro como una bala
The mighty young led zeppelin greatness.
What a way to close an awesome debut album!! You gotta remember that Robert Plant was NINETEEN when this was recorded!! I've been a Zeppelin fan since 1973!! Jimmy Page was my first guitar god crush!!
I would say the only okay Led Zeppelin songs are on the final two, 'In Through the Out Door' and 'Coda,' the latter of which was released after John Bonham's passing in 1980. Yes, there are a few good songs on those 2, however the previous 7 were outstanding!! My personal favorite is 'Physical Graffiti,' which was released just before I turned 16! I love them!!! Still in my Top 5. ❤❤❤❤❤
please react to this song live on danish tv in 1969 the video that says official in the thumbnail!!
Yes is a really great band. So many from that era. Only Zep takes to through the stargate and back.
😎 Ahhhh...Nice to hear some Zeppelin again ! Jeff Beck tomorrow ? 🤩
I can listen to Hot Dog by LZ and feel good just like with any other song they made ,even their sad songs get you going ..Any song as you say is good . Put on any LZEP Song and feel good and alive about the fact that we can hear it and have a good time while it will last ./**********
I usually don't suggest this, but there are some groups that deserve album reviews because the bands are just that damn good. And those bands would be Zep, Rush, Steely Dan, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck, Sabbath, Stones, Yes, ELP. Some of these have too much music for an all-albums review, like Rush, Stones, Jeff Beck, ZZ Top, and Yes, but they each have a good ten albums worth of great material.
Chod, you just served us all sum serious Chicken Noodle Soup for our Souls! Thank You, I need sum Led Zep to wash away the blues for a bit.
