You have to remember that when this album came out there really was nothing like it before and hence Led Zeppelin became the template for almost all who followed right to this day. Truly the greatest band of all time
Do, NOT, repeat, Do NOT go down the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. How do I know? Because approximately 40 years ago I fell into it, and there's not been a day since then (NOT KIDDING) that I've not listened to them. They simply are THE GREATEST BAND EVER. Period, full stop.
No remastered!!!! Real authentic music playing Real Acoustic electric guitar....Harmonica,,,,Organ.....piano.......Real vocals.....no voice machine....didn't have that kind of tech back then.....It is blues rock!!!! Great reaction!!!!
After Robert sings: "....and I have birds that sing..." the second time, if you listen closely you can hear them laughing in background in the studio because of how long and drawn out Robert sang it....
Now your into the nitty gritty of LED Zeppelin. You’re starting to really understand our devotion to them for their amazing talent. Album one and two are stellar!
That sound you don’t know is an organ, dude. Robert Plant on harmonica. Jimmy Page, rock guitar god, also produced all their albums and has done all the remastering. And to answer your question all that was on the original recording.
Excellent song and one they wouldn't allow to be played at our high school dances back then, I can tell you that. lol Plant has some pipes, eh? And I Iove listening to Page and Plant when they do call and response - always phenomenal. Bonham and Jones also just nailed it. It's quite amazing what they did with so few pieces of equipment, which is a tribute to Page's production genius. This is one of my 40+ LZ favorites so am glad that you enjoyed it. Looking forward to your reaction to the next song, Dazed and Confused. I suspect you're going to like it based on what you've like the most so far. :)
they didnt add the vocal effect later, robert and jimmy used to do that call and response alot, jimmy could make guitars SING and roberts voice was an instrument too!
This song is a reworking of the song by blues greats Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Earl Hooker. Zep loved putting a hard edge on blues songs and changing them musically, making them their own. When Robert sings along with the guitar, that's called a "call and response" and is a common feature of blues music; something which you'll often hear in their songs. You said they didn't need to do all that? Think of it this way; this was their debut album and this song gave each performer a little bit of a spotlight to "introduce" themselves, so to speak. So, you had a bit of harmonica from Robert, a bit of organ from bassist John Paul Jones, a bit of gritty guitar from Jimmy, and a bit of thunder from John Bonham. Another excellent thing of you going in chronological order is you'll hear some of the "hidden gems" that don't often get requested/reacted to - you will hear it ALL. 😊
Hey Salvo, it is a typical 12 bar blues. They are incredibly versatile. You can hear a ballad, folk, funk, rock, progressive, even reggae,lol and more when you delve in
Chronological? Excellent idea. They hardened, rockified and decibelised the Blues into Blues Rock-as did Jimmy's prior band (The Yardbirds became the New Yardbirds became Led Zeppelin). And they carried the Blues staple, call and response voices, to the equal voicing of man with guitar! As you clearly heard with the end part of that song. Peace from Canada.
Hey there! Thanks for checking me out from all the way up there ! Hope you have a good day. Thank you for the comment. I guess I’m a blues rock fan now!
Yeah it's Blues, but in Zeppelin style. Some of their songs were live and put on the album anyway, Plant would go off and it be so good it could not be replicated.
Just pure Led Zeppelin...no gimmicks except for Jimmy Page's brilliant production as well as performance. You need to read more about them. We're a mighty force. 🤙
One of my favourites. I just love that blues. They are all incredible musicians and they all get a chance to show off their skills on this track and this is how it's always sounded
A typical brilliant production job by Jimmy Page who turned an old blues song into a thunderous blues-rock song and his guitar solo is just so good which is why Pagey is my personal guitar God! Just subscribed!
You are one of the last reactors I expected to fall into the Zeppelin rabbit hole after your luke warm response to "Stairway". Although that was exactly my response to it back in 1974, when I was 15 years old. It just wasn't hard enough. Then it became my favorite song, and they became my favorite band: a distinction that has lasted almost 50 years. Welcome to the club, brother.
There’s many styles of blues. For example.. Mississippi blues with harmonica and Chicago style blues which uses horns. All styles and variations are awesome.
This is the original recorded version. Organ solo, probably be John Paul Jones. It was cut off at the very end, because it leads into the next song, Dazed and Confused.
Robert has a three octave range ( maybe a little less today). He was practically a baby when he sang this. JPJ is going crazy on the organ, Bonzo on magic drums and Robert on harmonica. God knows what Jimmy is doing.
Every song is a unique, different experience!! You will soon give up saying “That was my favorite so far”. You’re favorites will keep changing, 40 years from now! Mine do!!!
You should do for every song... the studio version and then a live version in the same video.. That would be a sick way of doing a song reaction, and compare studio vs live... Just a thought cheers....
I believe that you (SlovoG) should have a lot more likes on your reaction video here. Led Zeppelin is a timeless classic and I can see those instruments and the experimental music presentation did captivate you.
This is a year after you did this. But, I cannot help myself. I just wish I was around when you did all the Zeppelin stuff. Anyway, this is as blue blue blue blues as you can get. Down and dirty. Smoky filled nightclubs on the south side of Chicago late on a Saturday night kind of blues. Just like in one of your videos, you were talking about Traveling Riverside Blues, Robert Johnson. Johnson was a delta blues player in the 1930s who it was said sold his soul to the devil at the Crossroads to make him a great guitar player. If you did any Cream you would be familiar with the song Crossroads. That is about Johnson. Robert Johnson is also the man who did the original Sweet Home Chicago. Johnson was killed by a jealous husband caught with his wife. He was 27 and the first member of the 27 club. I am both a huge Zeppelin fan and a huge blues fan. Speaking of blues: Have you reacted to the late great legendary Stevie Ray Vaughn
A year late but still the same when it comes to my group Led Zeppelin. Enough said!! What a massively sexy song, but I'm a woman and that's how i feel.
I hope you're still reading these comments. I scrolled down and didn't see anyone correct you on this. The 'sound' you heard with Robert Plant's voice wasn't anything experimental, it was Jimmy Page's guitar in tune with Robert's voice, which is standard for good blues songs. But you didn't seem to know it was a guitar so that's understandable. The individual instrumentals were in this order: the first instrument, which you couldn't recognize, was an organ (John Paul Jones, who also plays bass); the second instrument was a harmonica (Robert Plant); and the third instrument was an electric guitar (Jimmy Page).
I honestly think you would like Deep Purple also ,same era all master musicians with another great vocalist Ian Gillan the brits had some seriously talented musicians around that time .
At the end of your videos? We know it's hard to talk, we've been there. It's called having your mind blown. Don't worry your brain with sort itself out in 20 minutes .. give or take. You've apologized several times about your video being "long". Long is irrelative, remember we sat/stood/danced our way concerts that were easily 4 hours on normal night. There would be an opening band to warm you up for and hour and then the encore if the band was having a blast. You're all good and you have my sub.
So..,,you’re going though their catalogue. New sub for your journey. Need to sprinkle some live in there too as Zep made their fame because of their incredible live concerts So much charisma it just dripped off the stage. They didn’t get the title of rock gods for nothing
It's just sliding the voice down, at the same time as the guitar sliding down (using a guitar slide). All of this was in the original. They were just very creative. In fact, most of these techniques had been done by many blues artists decades before. But Zeppelin dialed it up to overdrive. Music today has lost the ability to get this creative and this intense, for the most part.
Yeah, man. They don,t need to do these sounds on guitar... but they're Led Zepp. and do what they want, just for show us that they were the best besides Pink Floyd and a little fistfull of greatest musicians in greatest bands. (Beg U pardon for mi English. I'm from the north of Argentina and I learned the languaje by myself, so...😔
Monsters like Plant, Page, Johnes & Bonham can't make "common" music. They was 'condemned' to recreate it and give to it new senses and open new wide musical horizons to us. I'm 68 y.o. and LZ & PF from the first moment I listen them. They really were almost profets. The music I can find today in every musical platforms, sounds to me like "songs for get chicks", so flat seems me. Love songs (too honeyed) or basics rythms with a loooot of words (rap, trap an others by example), every one of them without a melody or a lyric deserver of the name "lyrics". I know..., I know... Times changes. Ok. But the "musicians" today almost stinks. Of course, I must be living in Jurassic Park... But music today -and from the beggnings of '80s- is created "for feet" and no "for head".

I’m starting to realize that
@@SalvoG I can confirm 🎸☮️💕

I agree. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd are up there but only one can be crowned king and that is Led Zepplin.
No remastered!!!! Real authentic music playing Real Acoustic electric guitar....Harmonica,,,,Organ.....piano.......Real vocals.....no voice machine....didn't have that kind of tech back then.....It is blues rock!!!! Great reaction!!!!
You will find Robert has one of the most versatile recognizable voices in rock. Another banger of Zeppelin’s!!!
Well, if you're not dazed and confused already you're about to be...
This is my fav Led Zep song. That guitar solo changed rock music forever.
they always seemed to be years ahead of their time
Seems so
Organ, drums, harmonica and Page's glorious guitar along with Plant drills this blues right into your brain...
not only did robert have an INCREDIBLE voice at the age of 20! he also had a huge amount of soul in it and plays great harmonica too
I learned harmonica by playing with this song, over and over.
Led Zeppelin doing classic blues is nothing short of perfection.
His voice is EXACTLY what you heard in the best blues bands from the late 60s.
That's just his pure voice, with some reverb.
Actually incredible
After Robert sings: "....and I have birds that sing..." the second time, if you listen closely you can hear them laughing in background in the studio because of how long and drawn out Robert sang it....
I read an article about all the background noises (chuckling, oh-ing, ah-ing, uh-huh-ing) on this track and it said that was all Plant.
Oh WOW
That is Robert Plant's voice dropping off without any trickery. No computer. No sound effect. Just pure skill.
Yes, this is the original recording. That is Robert's incredible voice. I was blown away by the album when it first came out and wore the record out.
I love that they take turns at the solo, organ, harmonica and then Jimmy blasts off on guitar. It’s a great take on the song and the blues.
Love this song. Has the keyboard, harmonic, the voice and the play between Robert's voice and Jimmy's guitar playing . Did I mention.. I love it!
Now your into the nitty gritty of LED Zeppelin. You’re starting to really understand our devotion to them for their amazing talent. Album one and two are stellar!
The devotion from the fans is next to none
@@SalvoG So true.
@@SalvoG since 75...I was 6
You're going to have many favorites from them.
I think so, indeed
Everything was as it was from 1969 release.
Every album? Dang that's gonna be lit.
Hard to believe Robert was only 20 years old when they did this. Have been listening to these guys for 40 years. So, so good!!!!😊
That sound you don’t know is an organ, dude. Robert Plant on harmonica. Jimmy Page, rock guitar god, also produced all their albums and has done all the remastering. And to answer your question all that was on the original recording.
Can't wait for Dazed and Confused. Great reaction!
Led Zeppelin WAS the "new age technic!"
Most of the effect from the down note comes from the guitar synching with the voice, then taking over at the end... and... THAT DIRTY BASS! :)
I absolutely love the instrumental arrangement in this song!
Excellent song and one they wouldn't allow to be played at our high school dances back then, I can tell you that. lol
Plant has some pipes, eh? And I Iove listening to Page and Plant when they do call and response - always phenomenal. Bonham and Jones also just nailed it. It's quite amazing what they did with so few pieces of equipment, which is a tribute to Page's production genius.

Jimmy used a Gibson Flying V Guitar
🎸 here through a Leslie Amplifier. The Gibson had Humbucker Pickups.
The band had only been together for a few weeks when this was recorded and the album was done in 30 hours.
Hey Salvo, it is a typical 12 bar blues. They are incredibly versatile. You can hear a ballad, folk, funk, rock, progressive, even reggae,lol and more when you delve in

That, my friend, is a Hammond B3 organ. A major feature in a lot of 70s rock.
Down & dirty blues! I feel privileged to have seen then them twice in. ‘77!

Just keeps getting better and better doesn't it? Yeah...1st solo JPJ on the organ...2nd Robert on the harmonica...3rd Jimmy on guitar!
Pure Blues!

It turns out I must be a blues fan

God only knows what Jimmy was doing 😂
FYI , Robert Plant and John Bonham were about 20 yrs old when they made this album
Arguably the best band ever. Do more of their music, but videos where you can see them playing. Amazing.
Every song is a unique, different experience!! You will soon give up saying “That was my favorite so far”. You’re favorites will keep changing, 40 years from now! Mine do!!!
been following you since your first song from Zep....you've just experienced what kids felt when they first heard these sounds in 1969.
You should do for every song... the studio version and then a live version in the same video.. That would be a sick way of doing a song reaction, and compare studio vs live... Just a thought cheers....

Jealous you get to hear this for the first time.
Epic.
His voice!!!!
This Is a "perfect slow blues"
Check out the studio version of How Many More Times.
Ditto! One of THE best songs of all time. The interlude midway through is dark, heavy, phenomenal and terrifying! 🔥
Dont know where ya been. But this the epitome of rock and roll🤘❤️thats jimmys guitar
I’ve been under a rock lol
Recorded and mixed in 36 hours. Yes, HOURS.
Amazing the best
Electric blues at its best.
" I don't even know what that sound is.."... is a Hammond organ with a big ol' Leslie amp. Nothing like it.
the blues, turned up to 11!
This is a year after you did this. But, I cannot help myself. I just wish I was around when you did all the Zeppelin stuff. Anyway, this is as blue blue blue blues as you can get.

The whole enchilada to Zeppelin Meca
the next is 1 of their best and the live versions could go for more than 30 minutes because they LOVED to jam live lol
At least you seem to like it. Pure blues - English style!

Just remember, this is your grandma's music!
That's Robert on harmonica.
That's all original recording! Zeppelin changed what music would become after them!
Amazing
How is possible that 4 white English guys are the best blues band that i have ever heard
PS love the reaction
You're doing this in chronological order makes a lot of sense being as it's the same way all of us old people heard it. 🤷🏻♂️

Robert Plant is not only an amazing singer but a damn fine harmonica player, too. (Legend has it he stole it from Muddy Waters.)
That sliding vocal was in the original.
