When The Levee Breaks is about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. It was first recorded in 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy and was then reworked by Led Zeppelin many years later. Zeppelin music has a number of influences and the blues was one of the biggest ones.

@chrisd7047 Год назад

It also talks about the Great Migration, 10s of thousands of black people leaving the South in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Many of them traveled straight up the Mississippi River and ended up in Chicago, which is why the lyrics mention Chicago. It's how Chicago became a hub for blues music.

@steveparker8065 Год назад

The airship Hindenburg in the video was a Zeppelin and the largest ever built. It burst into flames as it landed in Lakehurst, New Jersey back in 1936. Led Zeppelin is kind of a joke, Keith Moon of The Who said they'd go down like a lead balloon, which Jimmy Page later used when he remembered the joke and named the band Led Zeppelin. Loved the reaction, keep going as Led Zep has a vast store of banging tunes from a variety of genres.

When the Zeppelin caught fire, the live radio announcer continued to relay the events as the explosion engulfed the dirigible and took the lives of many of the crew, passengers and grounds men. This broadcast was recorded, along with film footage and became a historic documentation. The announcer's tearful, immediate response, including the phrase, "Oh the humanity" has been noted by generations ever since. It was, in a sense, the first reaction video. It is fitting it now links to our latter day...

@ploppy9943 Год назад

Fun fact: The radio announcer who uttered the popular phrase, "Oh, the humanity!" was from a Chicago radio station called WLS. It's still a staple in the Chicago area. I used to live about 90 miles from Chicago and had a job as a delivery driver. I would listen to that station every day while making my deliveries. The morning shows were particularly entertaining.

@Serai3 Год назад

Have you ever heard someone cry, "Oh, the humanity!"? That's directly related to the Hindeburg disaster. It was famously recorded by a newsreel unit that was there to cover the landing of the Hindenburg in the US. (The Hindenburg was a Nazi airship. Newreels were short films that were played before the main feature in moviehouses. In a time of radio, newsreels were the only way for people to see moving images of recent events.) So the cameras were rolling as it burst into flames, and the announcer was quite hysterical, crying over the deaths. "Oh, the humanity!" is the phrase he used that is remembered to this day.

It's you're favorite, because this is the first studio version of a Led Zeppelin song that you've listened to. Everybody here would love to see you react to the studio versions of Stairway to Heaven and Since I've been loving you. Yes, we all know you've reacted to the live versions of these songs, but they pale in comparison to the masterpieces that were created in the studio versions, which are some of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. It would be sad if you go through life without ever hearing those two studio classics. It will be a whole new, eye opening experience for you. Peace

@greendragonpublishing Год назад

Agreed! The live version of a popular song is changed, upscaled, modified - sometimes better, sometimes not, but it loses some of the original color and nuance, the format that made the song amazing/famous/popular. That's fine if you already know the original, but you lose something essential if you don't.

The airships are called zeppelins. They were cargo and passenger vessels of the sky filled with either hydrogen or helium.

@M0rket Год назад

Zeppelin also worked with Goodyear to create the iconic Goodyear blimps, before the breakout of WWII. Then they had a hand in building V2 rockets. A branch of the conglomerate has been Europe's leading dealer of Caterpillar construction machinery since '54. When you read their company history, they seem to gloss over certain parts of the past, perhaps understandably so.

That video is of a Zeppelin called the Hindenburg that crashed. It doesn't have a thing to do with the song, which is about a levee breaking and destroying a village after a flood on the Mississippi in 1927. The words were from a gal named Memphie Minnie. Musically - it was entirely Led Zeppelin. An epic masterpiece.

It’s her favorite Zeppelin song so far because it’s the studio version. So thankful she’s listening to a studio version finally. Zeppelin is great live, but you have to listen to the studio first.

A Zeppelin and a blimp like the 'Goodyear Blimp' are very similar.

Some here have already given the background on the name Led Zeppelin for the band so that's covered. The songs origins have been taken care of as well, so maybe a bit of trivia. Although the Hindenburg disaster has nothing to do with the song, a picture of the disaster is the album cover for the 1st LZ album in 1968. There's a story that says when Zeppelin played the Netherlands early on they had to use a different name (the Nobs) as Lady von Zeppelin was outraged by the use of the Hindenburg exploding as their album cover.

@ryanmaroney7917 Год назад

Zeppelins were German blimps. Led Zeppelin got their name from the old figure of speech "it'll go over like a lead balloon." A Led Zeppelin. The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin, and the gas that it used to keep it aloft was hydrogen, the 1st element, and disturbingly flammable. An ember will make it explode. Helium, the second element, is also lighter than air, but inert. So, a valuable lesson was learned that day about which lighter-than- air gas to use for flying blimps. And decades later, this great band got a great name.

@LoganS-gf3zl 3 месяца назад

Zeppelins have a rigid frame or skeleton and were sometimes referred to as rigid airships. A blimp is shaped a little the same but has no rigid skeleton, it’s just a specially shaped balloon.

Britt, as others have mentioned, listen to more of Zeppelin's studio releases. Jimmy Page was brilliant in the studio, a real craftsman. Also, they were somewhat inconsistent live--they lived fast and Jimmy also occasionally suffered from stagefright. But if you want their best live stuff, the Royal Albert Hall show from 1970 is awesome. Great reaction. Be well.

The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin (the inventor Baron Von Zeppelin created these very famous rigid airships) this Zeppelin was named in honor of the famous WWI German General and Hero Paul Von Hindenburg. It was a NAZI rigid airship that flew across the Atlantic between Berlin and New York (landing in New Jersey) in the late 1930s before WWII. It was still enough of a novelty that a newsreel crew was sent to photograph and record the landing when it suddenly burst into flames. The newsreel reporter famously cried "Oh the humanity". Another reporter who wasn't there assumed it would be a normal non-event called in to his newspaper that it was a perfectly normal landing. Needless to say that reporter was fired for missing the biggest story of the decade. When the Levee Breaks has nothing to do with the Hindenburg tragedy, it's about the flooding of the Mississippi River in 1927. However, the Hindenburg tragedy does have to do with why Led Zeppelin got there name.

It's the Hindenburg Disaster. Hindenburg is the name of that particular airship - The Graf Zeppelin is the type of airship. I've no idea why this piece of film was paired with "When the Levee Breaks," there's no connection at all. It could have been shown as the background to any Led Zeppelin song.

For more Zeppelin blues rock of the highest caliber, try Since I've Been Loving You. The studio mix is pristine and legendary, then the live video from the Song Remains the Same is beyond amazing, seeing the effect they have on fans and even security is cool and gives you an idea of the grip they had on us back in the day, you would do anything to see them but they always were instant, multiple sell outs wherever they went. Try that song out, if you have, do You Shook Me or Tea For One. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

@saltydroog854 Год назад

Interesting fact about the recording...When they recorded this track they went up to Headly Grange, which was a large poorhouse in Hampshire England, that was rented and converted into a recording studio for them. They often went to eccentric locations to write and record. When they got there, John Bonham (their drummer) was intrigued by the acoustics of the grand entry staircase. So he set up his drum kit and some mics in the stairwell, and recorded the drum tracks. A lot if the drum sounds you are hearing are not actual strokes being played, but rather echoes. The metronome time signature that the song is played in is decided by this reverberation. Just an example of how out of the box they were as a bans, but especially Bonham was as a drummer. Best ever.

@PeterTea Год назад

Oh the humanity! 😅Yes this is something that you should have learned about in history class. That was a Hindenburg, the world’s biggest airship/blimp/zeppelin. It was designed by the Zeppelin airship company (see the connection?) and was the pride of Germany and the Nazis. Unfortunately for them they could not use helium to inflate it, since the USA had most of the world’s helium reserves, so they used highly flammable hydrogen instead. A local Chicago newsman from WLS was doing one of the first ever live broadcasts of the event just outside of NYC when the Zeppelin suddenly burst into flames and while he narrated the calamity live and exclaimed “Oh the humanity” and the rest is history.

Keith Moon told Jimmy Page the type of music Page wanted to do would go over like a lead ballon. When it came time to name the band Page remembered the joke and Led Zeppelin was born.

@mperezmcfinn2511 Год назад

Keith Moon's comment was in response to the band being booked as "the New Yardbirds." After the Yardbirds imploded, Page assembled a new lineup, intent on continuing down the heavy psychedelic direction the band was moving in before the breakup. Since the Yardbirds were a well established group, with a substantial following, he wanted to capitalize on their name recognition. Except, he wasn't even one of the founding members. Besides, this new lineup was clearly a much different band. It was after Page told Moon they were going with "the New Yardbirds" that he said "the New Yardbirds? That's gonna go over like a Lead Zeppelin." In other versions he said "Lead Balloon." But Page thought Zeppelin sounded cooler.

@MrT67 7 месяцев назад

This is my favourite Led Zep song also. I've been listening to them for decades and love most of their stuff, but this is the one if I had to choose, with Kashmir and All of My Love close behind. The ship crashing and burning is the Hindenburg, a Zepplin which is the German name for an airship. Airships in those days were filled with hydrogen which is flammable. The Hindenburg crashed in 1937 in New Jersey with 35 fatalities. Led Zeppelin got it's name from Keith Moon of The Who, who when told Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin's founder was keen on creating a new supergroup with Moon, Jeff Beck, and Moon’s bandmate in The Who John Entwistle. Moon remarked that the project would go down “like a lead balloon”. From that Page then renamed the New Yardbirds "Led Zeppelin. The photograph of the Hindenburg crashing was used for the album cover of their debut album.

@jss27560 6 месяцев назад

The Zeppelin, which is similar to the Goodyear Blimp, was given the name "Led Zeppelin" by a band member who thought it would go over like a lead balloon. The song is about the flooding that occurred when a levee broke along the Mississippi River, which impacted poor black people who owned most of the affected land. Some of those affected by the flooding left and moved to Chicago. The video shows the Hindenburg disaster that took place in Lakehurst, NJ. The airship was supposed to be moored at the Empire State Building but was not able due to high winds. The mooring mast on the building was originally designed for this purpose.

Yes. The Hindenburg was a large air ship known as a dirigible. In fact it was the largest ever built. It was the pride and joy of Nazi Germany. Historical significance was its catastrophic destruction when it burst into flames in the USA. It was also significant in that it was one of the first caught on film LIVE catastrophes. For that time period it was as significant and impactful as the footage of the 9/11 attack on Trade Center. It was shown in movie theaters and talked about on the radio with intensity. Dirigibles were also referred to as Zeppelin after the German inventor Ferdinand von Zeppelin who began his work on air ships in the late 19th Century. By the 1960s, the terminology or slang for something that is a colossal failure was that it would end up like the Hindenburg or take off like a "LEAD ZEPPELIN". The remainder of how the band was named is covered by other comments above. Great Post. Im subscribed! Love it.

It's a dirigible, also known as a blimp. They still fly when I think over important football games over here in United States. The Goodyear blimp I think or maybe it's been dead for a long time. But anyway yeah this was a historical day. But they used a weird relief of it as the front album cover of their very first album when they just exploded on the world in the late 1960s. And from a distance, it looks really really phallic. There's even more context in this direction. So after that disaster, everything that everybody thought was going to be the wonderful solution to Aviation, it was fuel-efficient everything about it was great it could float along at low altitudes it could negotiate fairly well even though it was a bit clumsy, because that's all they really needed in those early days. And then it got so popular they used it for public transport and it first people were nervous and then it became accepted. And then this happened. Think about it. So sometime after that, by the time I was a kid in the late sixties and early 1970s, it was always afraid as you could say, oh yeah and you would roll your eyes about either an idea that you had or an idea that somebody else had that just totally tank and turned out to just be ridiculously bad. And you would say, oh yeah, that went over like a lead balloon.

Not sure where that video came from; I’m guessing some guy created it for his own entertainment. I can see how it’s confusing for a song reaction, since the events in the video have nothing to do with this particular song. As other comments explain, this is a cover of a song by Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi flood of 1927, which, as a point of reference, was actually worse than Katrina. Beyond that, this is an incredible song that I feel you should listen to again (do another reaction, if you like) without the distraction of that video.

Keith Moon of the Rock band, "The Who" went to see them perform early after they had just newly formed as a group and was asked about what he thought of them, he wasn't impressed and said they would "go down like a lead balloon" ( how wrong he was) LOL. And that's how the idea of the name of this new band, (at the time) came about and "Led Zeppelin" was born and the rest is history!

@tonyalewis9053 11 месяцев назад

A Zeppelin was an inflatable air ship also known as a blimp or dirigible. The Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen and made from a flammable fabric. It was being filmed and announced live on radio when it caught fire. The Goodyear Blimp is a modern example that is filled with Helium and made from a rubberized fabric. There is an old expression, “ you’ll never get that lead zeppelin off the ground.” The band name is a play on that spelling it Led Zeppelin, imo. I used to have a poster of Robert Plant above my bed in HS. 😉

The video has nothing to do with this song. The lyrics of this song are from a blues song from the 1920s, it's about a literal flood.

@MrHws5mp Год назад

"Who am I hurtin'?" - Well as a dyed-in-the-wool aviation geek, I'd have to say, "My feelings, m'dear, my feelings..." 😉 The "sky-submarine" is an 'airship' or 'blimp': a type of steerable, powered, balloon that uses lighter-than-air gas for buoyancy rather than hot air. Until the late 1930s they were considered a viable alternative to fixed-wing aircraft and were used for military and commercial purposes. Some of the first and best airships were built by the German Count von Zeppelin who's company was named after him. "Zeppelin" thus became a generic alternative word for 'airship'. Zeppelins bombed Britain during the First World War. The Hindenburg was the last and largest Zeppelin ever built. She was built in 1936 and made 63 flights in the next year-and-a-half, including 10 to the USA. In May 1937 the Hindenburg was approaching her mooring mast at Lakehurst, New Jersey, when she burst into flames and crashed as you saw in the video, killing 35 of the 97 people on board. Her arrival was being broadcast live on local radio and when she went down, the presenter's fraught commentary became iconic. The cause of the fire was never determined, but the highly flammable hydrogen gas that she used for buoyancy, together with flammable dope (varnish) used in her fabric envelope, made her demise so swift and unstoppable. This accident, together with the bad-weather crash of the similar British airship R-101, destroyed the public's confidence in airships and they faded from the aviation scene, although you still see them today in specialist roles (the Goodyear blimps are the best known example). Modern airships use non-flammable, but less efficient, helium instead of hydrogen. When Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were forming their new band, Keith Moon (drummer of The Who) joked that they'd go down "like a lead balloon". Page remembered the joke and named the band 'Led Zeppelin'. Their first album had a black and white image of the burning Hindenburg on the cover. 'When The Levee Breaks' is a song about a disaster by a band named after an airship that had a disaster, hence the video.

The "submarine balloon" is a Zeppelin. Zeppelins were a common form of earlier air travel. The Hindenburg was a well known, luxury, transatlantic zeppelin that infamously crashed in New Jersey. The announcer uttering the famous line "oh the humantiy" as the Hindenburg burst into flames.

Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and several other famous rock guitarists grew up in England. They listened to old African-American blues records, which inspired their compositions. Most people don't realize the profound influence the Mississippi Blues artists from the 1930s and 40s had on rock and roll.
