First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven | Rere Reacts 

This song is from 1971, from Led Zeppelin's 4th album, which is untitled, but known as Led Zeppelin IV. Considered by many to be the greatest rock album of all time 😁

So happy you listened to the studio version first! Too many reactors start with a live version first and that doesn't give them a true understanding of the context of the song. Many never even go back to here the studio masterpiece, which is one of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. I highly recommend checking out the studio recording of the Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You" next. It will touch your soul! Peace

You will enjoy the rest of their catalogue.

LIVE VERSION @ MUST! MSG 1973 see pure-raw-talent jimmy's god given fingers, watch his soul connecting wth tha' Guitar Gods take over his body/hands much ❤ @ positivity frm tha' 🇬🇧 ❤ Xxx.

I am now 73 yrs young, 3 kids, 10 grandkids and 2 great grandkids and still rock to Zeppelin and will continue until the rock has left my roll and I am on that Stairway to Heaven. Your insight was spot on, but I was really impressed by your facial expressions and the look in your eyes which are the pathway to your soul. I saw you had a wonderful journey even before you said a word. Thanks for the trip back in time for me and hope you have pleasant journey's going forward in your musical quests. Peace

I was enthralled by your ability to grasp the essence of this song so quickly. Yes, it is a true spiritual anthem as well as a musical masterpiece. You'll find other great ones sprinkled amongst the genre. Beatle lead guitarist George Harrison carries that theme through many of his songs -- both while with the Beatles and beyond in his solo career. Dive deep, young lady, as you are doing, and you will be richly rewarded. ❤

Great reaction! Many consider Zeppelin to be the greatest rock band ever, and i can't argue with them. A new subscriber.

Oh boy…you’ll probably be astounded by their catalogue

I knew Robert Plant pre Led Zep. We come from the same small town in the Black Country and he would often come down to our blues club. He was always willing get up onstage and jam with us. Off stage he is quietly spoken and quite shy. He still lives in the area, albeit a much larger place in the countryside!

Zeppelin's deep. Check out the live version of this song Madison Square Garden 1973. Also check out Since I've Been Loving You from the same concert. There's a vast catalog to check out.

There is a 2012 video from The Kennedy Center Awards honoring Led Zeppelin featuring Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart that is amazing. Before doing that you should check out there stuff from the 70's for a reference point.

Now that you've heard the original you must hear the Heart version at the Kennedy center awards for led zeppelin. If u haven't done any Heart yet check out Barracuda

Player - Baby Come Back (Official Music Video). Since you mentioned soft rock, this is soft rock and blue-eyed soul.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven. Live version from Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1973.

Try out the 'Zep' from Madison Square Garden live. Unreal blues number by them. This song you definitely want to experience this live version before the studio IMHO. Led Zeppelin has a vast catalog and they are regarded to be one of the GOAT's from rock.

Love how you get lost in the music as I do. I’m 36, my father introduced me to this music as a kid. It’s almost all I listen to until this day. Keep exploring!

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa "I'd Rather Go Blind" live in Amsterdam. I swear it's an instant playlist addition.

A beautiful reaction to firstly watch and secondly to listen to. Your insight is first rate.

Definitely my favorite band of all-time. Most of their music is from the genre you seem to enjoy: Blues Rock/Rock-n-Soul. Probably their most famous video to react to is their Live performance of "Since I've Been Loving You." I predict it might be one of your favorite reaction. Hope to see it.

WOW !A beautiful reaction !very nice

Great reaction ! Thank you ! This came out late summer of 1971 and still a big hit in the autumn of 1975, since it won a battle of the bands contest on our local radio station in Minneapolis, with Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers coming in second.

Rere, for a young woman you are a very old soul. Loved your reaction. By the way, half of Led Zeppelin are made up of Brummies like you! Yes, singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham are from the Birmingham suburbs. The other two members of the band, guitarist Jimmy Page, and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, are from the suburbs of London. ps~Thank you for reacting to the studio version of this iconic song first. Always do the studio version first. Now that you have, you can react to the live version from Madison Square Garden in 1973.

I never heard that song before either. I loved your very intelligent interpretation of the song. I can’t say I loved the song but I definitely can appreciate the talent and I can see why people who like that genre of music would think highly of it. Thanks for allowing us to experience this music journey with you!

Great reaction and commentary. Keep it up. Thanks

Please react to the 80s UK band 'Tears For Fears' with their track 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'. Another awesome reaction 😊 x

Worlds #1 most requested song on the radio for decades. New York for a while had a radio station called K-ZEP, 7days a week 24hrs a day Led Zeppelin.

You should try out the mini rock opera A Quick One While He's Away by The Who. The version from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll circus is amazing

Maybe having "more" money can't buy happiness, but it might buy less misery? Great reaction

I'd recommend 'Don McLean - American Pie' as something for you to check out. It's basically the story of Rock 'n' Roll in one song!

What about Bruce Springsteen Live Album 1975 -1985 The River

if you react to them weekly, it would take about 1.5 years just for the studio catalog.. i suggest you do a zepathon, start from their first ever song & it would be one of the best decisions in your life 👌

Zeppelin with the signals on the cover of this video and the different opinions on what the music sounds like when played backwards. It’s a whole rabbit hole to dive into.

If you want to explore the Wonder of that in excellence check out the music of Theocracy! Especially " Mirror of Souls " that red pills you to the depths of the rabbit hole of the meaning of Life & value!

More Led Zeppelin is always more better. Check out When the Levee Breaks by them.

Loving your reactions.. still can't believe you haven't heard of some of the biggest bands in the history of music..try Freebird(live) by Lynyrd Skynrd if you haven't already..if you want to try some more modern stuff check out Hate? By Bandmaid Japanese all girl group..keep up the great work

Rock has many sub genres. Next should be War Pigs by Black Sabbath. You will know of the lead simger Ozzy Osborne. Yhey were the foundwrs of meatal and Birmingham is the birthplace of Heavy Metal

You're right about the genre. It's roomy.

I really enjoyed this reaction but have you not been suggested any Black Sabbath songs? Try 'Children Of The Grave"👍✌✌

Without a doubt money buys happiness but the most elusive eternal value is,is it doesn't buy you joy! Only rrelationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ can give! He gives the Gift that keeps on giving!

Unfortunately, Led Zeppelin has the most distracting 'official' videos on the internet. Like they were slapped together in 5 minutes, with 8 or 9 images that just repeat on a loop, changing every 3 seconds, and out of synch with the music. One of the (if not the) greatest rock bands in music history, and this is what they put out for their videos? Why? It's as if the distracting video is trying to PREVENT you from getting lost in the music. It's criminal.

Many people rate this as the greatest rock song ever.

Nice reaction. Time for the live version from Madison Square Garden now!

Amazing to see someone experience Stairway to Heaven for the first time. For many people, this song is the greatest of all classic rock music. Or to say it another way, what song is more recognizable, or had more impact, or is more representative of 1970s classic rock, than Stairway to Heaven? I can't think of one. I hope you like it 👍😁

So I’m probably gonna be working my way through much of your content but I do see that you have not listened to any Steely Dan. I’m gonna suggest you check out ANY song from the album Aja.

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Stairway to Heaven was a classic though not to the real heaven and i was almost worshiping this band during my drug years 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on RU-vid. 😀

Robert plant vocal.jimmy page guitar.john Paul Jones keyboard John Bonham drums

Well this song was hailed or voted Greatest Rock Song about 20 - 30 (?) years in a row. Don't keep track of ratings. Probably the crappyest video I've seen at least for this song. Live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 is awesome! It's from a movie I watched in the theater 🎭 called THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME!! What?? Does money buy her penis!!😮 OHHHH!! Happiness 😂 As long as it buys chocolate ice cream 🍦 then yaaaa! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

I dig your vibe

Thank you for listening to led zeppelin, there are lots of songs for you to check out!! Look forward to the next one!

Now you are listening to real Music! The GOATS OF GOATS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

U need to listen to INXS, never tear us apart, Australian band from the 70s and 80s

Congratulations. You just listened to one of the most famous rock songs of all time by one of the groups that defined modern rock.

You've just discovered possibly the best rock song ever recorded.

Since we are doing the classics, i feel i should request The Who - "I've Had Enough". It's goosebumps material. Thanks. 🙂

I always say, "You have never heard any Zep??" And I have to remind myself that "my music" isn't automatically that of the younger generations.

One of the greatest songs ever to be written, recorded, produced, performed and released!🤘❤🤟

They did it all; rock, blues, folk, reggae, gospel, etc. If you like mellow check out Thank You. If you want to wake your neighbors try When The Levee Breaks.

You did a great review! I wish others would do it the way you do. Thank you so much.

Great analysis!

She was hooked from the first moment of Page's strumming.

You may not be aware, but the lead singer is from West Bromwich and a life long fan of Wolverhampton football club

Though everything they do is amazing, they have several great slower songs. Try The Rain Song * Thank You * Ten Years Gone * Kashmir * Fool In The Rain * Going To California * That’s The Way. A few true masterpieces are in those I named, as well as really beautiful songs. I & many others hope you do more Led Zeppelin, many of us have been fans over 50 years. Thank you for you great reaction.

Interesting interpretation. Especially your idea about a duality of materialism vs spiritualism. I am sort of "against" both concepts 😳 - I am definitely a deep critical of our economical system although I understand certain concepts within the system that can be quite good and even are necessary for certain achievements of modern society. And I am a rather intense atheist who of course believes in soul/spirit as part of our brains ... but really just being special modes of our brain. I think I remember saying the author of the lyrics who is also the singer of the band that this song is about "hope". But surely he leaves like most good poets a lot the the interpretation of the listener. Anyway - thanks a lot for your reaction. It was really a pleasure. And after watching several of your reactions I could now relate really well to your face expressions. Kind of minimalistic but still showing a lot emotions. Thanks a lot for sharing this first experience of listening to this rock song which is really one of the best songs ever created.

Supergroups need to be listened to in LIVE performance , and this song is a great example it has to be seen LIVE . The best performance of this is in New York Madison Square Gardens 1973 its a must see , id say 30 to 40% better than the LP studio version

As you explore more music you’ll find that while there may only be a stairway to heaven there’s a highway to hell.😉

This was the most requested song to the radio stations in the 1970's

Great reaction! Please try the live performance of 'Whole Lotta Love' from Earls Court, it will blow your mind!!!!

In the day, bands could chart their own identity. They could write songs that they wanted to. Songs and arrangements that took you to their world, and you felt it. They could experiment in the wide open, give you their artistic vision, and still be famous and make money doing it. Today, you will not be played if your song is not under 3 - 3.5 minutes.

Le Zepplin is a deep, deep hole. I recommend listening to Kashmir next.

Pink Floyd...Pulse Concert : Comfortably Numb.....from the same era as this bit of brilliance or if you want some more Zep...then from Madison Square Garden, Since I have been loving you

Like so many things in life, money is just a tool. It’s not how much you have that’s important, it’s what you do with what you have that discerns you as a person.

Try the studio version of "Dazed and Confused" next from Zeppelin!

Such a great song, such a great band! No oned did it better

Lovely reaction. Liked and subbed. ❤

"This is a Song of Hope ." ~ Robert Plant

One of the great rock acts in history, glad you listened to the studio version 1st! Robert Plant (Vocalist) sat down on the floor beside the band and scribbled these lyrics out in 15-30 min while the band was working on the arrangement, he was 22 years old.

Do....Hearts version of the song!! Irs incredible!!

Go for all of Led Zeppelin. You, WILL THEN UNDERSTAND everything beautiful... melodic, peaceful. ... the most useful free-spirited people, most of all, people with spirituality. Life is about relationships!!!!

Hard to imagine there are people who haven’t heard this song.

Yes my sis, one reason I could say that they go so deep in the song is exactly because of their interest and exploration into esoteric subjects. They did involve themself in some far out cosmological ideas, much like the group "Yes" did.

The fact that in Rock culture there's a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven gives a clue to projected traffic numbers 😅

This was on their fourth Album.....and their first album, was mocked before it was released, by other artists, with our hearing a note. These guys can't play, sing, drum write music...one famous musician of that time even said they'll fall like a Lead Balloon ( Zepplin)...so they named the band that...and changed Music Forever! Start at the beginning! You Led Zeppelin 1....and go go go young Lady ...you won't be disappointed . Great reaction , and much ❤ and from the States!

Not that I minded a full play through but I think you are supposed to put at least one break in there for copyright reasons. Now I only first watched some of your reactions today so this vs. that first one which must have set a world record for the number of breaks in it. Sweet progress! This is Rock for sure. One of a small handful of songs so well known among guitar players that it is a major no no to play at the guitar store. You have not heard much from Canada yet. Check out 'Rush - Tom Sawyer' Cheers.

Check out "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin

I can not hear the sound is really low 😢

Loved this song since it was first released. For some reason I was always moved by the last line "To be a rock and not to roll", words to live by.

I was happy to see Robert Plant sing with Alison Krauss in Taos last year. He still has the swagger.

🎼🌿🎻🌿🎼 .. it is too bad that you didn't watch a live version of this tune. You would have seen the legendary talent of Robert Plant - lead singer - and Jimmy Page - the lead guitarist. This is quite an old song , and it is such a pleasure to see someone of your young age experience it for the 1st time. Believe it or not .. this song was played at my high school dances and it was always the final song. It would start as a slow dance ... then it would flow into a fast dance .... then the lights would come up. Enjoy your musical journey. 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Now you have to know this #1 song😮

Kashmir is a must to react

Yes! My favorite group! Soon to be your favorite!!

Watch it live…🤯

Zeppelin - Since I've been loving you

Check out the "Lemon song" 😉😯😯😯😯

Nice reaction. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles-----the Big Four of Classic Rock. They all deserve a deep dive by you. Some other beautiful songs by Led Z. I think you'd really like: Thank You (audio), and The Battle Of Evermore (audio). Keep up the great work.
