Perhaps the greatest vocal performance of all time. Not much into Zepplin anymore but I love this song. One of the greatest shames is Plant's vocal surgery after releasing this.
My MOM......God Bless Her......got me this album for Christmas 1975.......I was a pot smokin.....butt smokin punk.....but this album from Mom changed my life.....I'm 62 now and Mom has full blown dementia.....but I've never had a better gift in my life......will always remember.
That’s an awesome story and all the best to your mom , my pops turned 88 yesterday and has pre dementia, what a gift your mom gave you this music is timeless
@@geoffpoole483ud say out of every zep song this is the closest to a rip off. The others are innovation. Although this song has great songwriting and Robert's singing is perfect
The babe i would leave would be lovely. It wouldnt be her fault. I would just have to leave....in my imaginary parting situation. As it happens, im stuck right here.
This was mine and my dad's favorite band. After he's passed, it's really hard for me to listen, and when I do it always ends in tears. God damn, this is one of the most timeless and epic songs ever written. Thank you pops for showing me real music
I sympathise with you on the passing of your dear Pops. He obviously had a magical taste in music and passed it on to you. I am convinced that while you listen to the greatest rock group there’s ever been, your dear Pops is listening and smiling down on you 🙏🙏🙏.
I was a teen in the 80s. I wish so much that I could have experienced Led Zepplen live. This song is beyond epic. Deeply moving. Incredible. I bow to you Led Zeppelin.
@@DidsDelight sorry i’m French, 🇫🇷 i try to do better everyday with the English language without trad. We listen music with English lyrics but we aren’t force bilinguals😊
I don’t know what it is about those opening chords that is so heart-wrenching. And then it just gets better, and the way Plant goes from singing so softly to yelling just gives me chills. 😭
Unbelievable how young Robert was when they first did this song but he just polished his vocals on it even more in the later years.He's Great one of a kind.Led zeppelin all fit together like a perfect puzzle. Phenomenal group
If I could only ever listen to one Led Zep song ever in my life again this would be it. Awesome base line from Jones, kick a$$ drums from Bonham, usual guitar brilliance from Page and the power and emotion in the vocals from Plant is out of this world. A masterpiece from start to finish!
Must’ve absolutely blown everyone away. I heard this song for the first time while I was cooking like a week ago and had a full on moment. Live for the first time must’ve been unreal.
I'm saving my money right now for when someone invent a time machine I will be ready to go back in time and be one of the fortunate ones to witness the greatest band in the world. How lucky are the people who are able to go to Led Zeppelin concert back in those days. Little do they know how blessed they were in in witnessing the greatest band on this planet.
I saw them in Vancouver in 1973 with my pal Paula. We had crap seats but met two fine young men with extra tickets for the 12th row. An excellent view and an excellent concert. At first we were told to sit down! Um, I don’t think so! We just had to dance.
I saw Led Zeppelin in Boston Garden in 1972....i was standing right in front of the stage....everyone was passing huge weed joints... It was a cloud of smoke...i was 19 years old...i'm 67 now.....check out my music at ReverbNation/Lenny Luzitano

Anne Bredon, was an American folk singer, best known for writing the song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" while she was a student at University of California, Berkeley in the late 1950s, daughter of physicist Leonard Benedict Loeb and granddaughter of physiologist Jacques Loeb, majored in art at Humboldt State University, completed her master's degree in mathematics at Berkeley, California.
Jimmie, Jon, Jean Paul and Robert. 4 excellent lads who like to play. How wonderous their music is and how incredibly it has effected the lives of millions. To each of you, where ever you are. Thank you. Each day we can share in the gift you have given us is a celebration day.
I saw Led Zeppelin 3 times in Seattle the last time right after the 4th album came out. That was probably the best concert I have ever been to. High on pot and acid, they blew me away!
Espetacular, arrepiante...o Plant "gritando" os versos bem ao fundo no meio da bateria , com o Bonham atacando os pratos enlouquecidamente e junto com a guitarra do Page....É de enlouquecer essa maravilha..
Best rock song ever by far. You have 4 musicians the best at what they do, in their prime, and you must give Jimmy Page credit as one of, if not the best producer ever. All those years in studio's, watching what works and what doesn't. Without his production skills the Zep albums would not be near as great as they are. And that voice...
I was 17 years old when I discovered Zep all the way in Pakistan, I travelled the world , worked in the west and the Middle east......I am now 53 years old, And still listen to them...... I grew up With Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Guns N Roses Rory Gallagher U2 BB King Jimi Hendrix Had Long Hiatus from Music, then Discovered Tool System of a Down Ended up being a bad ass Guitarist as well....without any formal training, self learned.
Pure genius! Still listening to it after 50 years! Led Zepplin was and still is my favorite. How can music be so intense yet calming to the soul?! Again pure genius!
There have been many great guitarists in rock but Page was of another substance. Perfect on recordings, spectacular live, always exciting and shocking. What the hell was in that head and in those fingers, God only knows.
I met Robert Plant during his Raising Sand tour. Very kind to my daughter. He was a gentleman in addition to being one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You just witnessed one of the greatest rock and roll bands that you will ever see on the face of this Earth ever
One of my favorite Zep songs. I did hear this, in person, in 68-69. They were just starting out and were a warm up act. Except for Jimmy Page, no one knew who they were. That didn't last long because pretty soon, everyone knew who they were! I've seen all the greats in concert but this is the one i remember the most.

The swing in this song....the bass and drums along with that guitar constant push of the song. Plant's voice just pulling the emotions. Just a fantastic song.
This is my favorite Zeppelin tune. I know alot of people like Stairway but this one was one of their best......in my opinion.
I think there are at least 6-7 LZ songs to favorite, they all give you equal bliss... I also can not choose just one all time favorite.
Ramble on is mine
This is my favorite zeppelin song too
This song, No Quarter and Achille's Last Stand for me
@@richbenedict7043 yea ramble on was my favourite. But what is and what should never be is my new favourite including since I've been lovin you
For me this is led zeppelins best album. Crude blues rock, heavy, psychedelic, creative, vital, fucking amazing
My second after III.
T agree with you! The best album
I’m not even aloud to comment 😢

Still feel the power of this song. Timeless.
