Jimmy Page's guitar is unearthly. Robert Plant's vocals are supernatural. John Bonham's drums are exalted. John Paul Jones keyboard mystical. Together, the band of the Gods. Also, this is one of the best live blues performances of all time.
Someone have a smoke for the beautiful lady following that seduction by Mr Plant. Oh, and in case anyone missed it, my favorite solo (the whole song is a solo basically) from James Patrick Page and that guy on the base is riding it to valhalla...oh, who is the guy pounding the skins back there...he's not the most creative incredible drummer of all time.....NOT. F--- Led Zeppelin is just unbeatable.
I agree. But there is another song up there, ”Echoes” by Pink Floyd, reacted by Ailleen as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kppU15oIpvk.htmlsi=u7JS4vC0wegxJXNE
I put them and Floyd as my GOATS and have a hard time deciding between either, as I like them for different reasons. I thought Floyd were better songwriters and experimentalist and LZ were better musicians. Though the difficulty of Plants vocal dynamic and range made it harder to continue belting it out as he aged. Just my .02 Floyd was my favorite concert but I've not been fortunate enough to see Zeppelin live. Metallica was really good live too though. It's good when bands practice and don't just rest on their laurels. Cough cough GNR.
This live stuff.....the FACT they are doing this LIVE....is just absolutely amazing. This was a GREAT live band. Man, they were all in the pocket, in sync, tight and improvisationally loose at the same time. Unbelievable. Like a great jazz quartet really.
Greatest band ever. Period. The greatest gathering of talents in the same band in the history of Music. Almost like bringing together Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Picasso and Dali to work together in the production of a work of art. Best band ever!
I use the same analogy. These guys and their music are masterpieces for eternity, just like the great masters on canvas. I was sucked in the very first time I heared Led Zeppelin on norwegian broadcast back in the days before Christmas of 69. Dazed and confused was exactly what the state of mind this song left me. Dazed and confused. As a kid listening to my parents records of Vera Lynn, Bobby Bare and Jim Reeves, Led Zeppelins Dazed and Confused blew me in to a different universe. Of course I bought every album they ever released because the albums were so diversified and ....I can't find my words to describe it. Anyway, Since I've Been Loving You became my favourite song defining my years of youth. The subtle guitar on the vinyl is out of this world.
@@AleisterCrowley. I think that for future generations (if we manage to have future generations), especially music and cinema, will be the expressions of post modern art, just as painting and sculptures were for our generations. And these four will certainly be in the pantheon of the giants of Art.
My very first concert ever was in Montreal Canada I lived in Plattsburgh New York on USA side. My brother took me then 14 across the border on his motorcycle and we went to see Led Zeppelin 1973 .it was a memory worth the restriction I was put in for the summer. And the butt beating received for sneaking out the house and crossing the international border. Of course we ended up busted coming across the border. Parents were called to come get us. Worth every tear I shed. And I do it again and and again and again. Something in life are just that AMAZING. thank you for reading my story. Audrey
You should listen to Led Zeppelin once a day. It's good for your soul. If you don't have Led Zeppelin in your Playlist, then you DON'T have a playlist.
This performance is one of the reasons why Robert Plant is THE best singer/frontman in Rock n' Roll history! This performance is one of the reasons why Led Zeppelin is the Greatest Rock Band in history! Great reaction, Aileen, check out "When the Levee Breaks" "Immigrant Song" "Going to California" "Babe I'm gonna Leave You" "Ramble On" "No Quarter" "D'yer Mak'er" "Whole Lotta Love" "The Ocean" and "Stairway to Heaven" for a few jammin' tunes to keep you busy!
Glad to see that even the younger generation can appreciate Led Zeppelin 50yrs later. Never was and never will be a complete matching of talents in Rock music like Zeppelin. Saw them live in 1972 on their only tour of Australia and they were other worldly. Still the best concert I have ever been to and I've seen a lot. Glad you will look into more of their work. Cheers
Great reaction Aileen, great to see this majectic performance can still hit people hard. That's how I feel still after nearly 50 years of listening to LZ. They are individually and collectively unmatched to this day IMO.
Yeah, the best to ever do it and this still stands as the best live rock performance of all time, IMO. She's been lucky enough to see two of the best rock n roll frontmen in the last couple of days in RP and Chris Cornell. I hope that she'll dig deeper into both catalogues 🔥
The greatest band to ever grace the stage. They were then they are today and forever will be. In 2123 the alien nation will be rocking out to LZ. Timeless masterpieces of musical brilliance. The stars were aligned and the timing was like never before. That brought these 4 equally talented master musicians together. I was blessed to be there and have to wait for new albums to be released, Now to relive hearing it again for the first time through a new much younger generation brings tears to my eyes everytime
Very few know that. There may still be people claiming it was somewhat disgraceful never giving credit to the anonym bass player on the stage. Now we know about both the fender pedals and of course the custom made he used later. Worked perfectly in my ears :)
I have enjoyed your Reaction very much. Welcome to the Magic that IS Led Zeppelin. Your musical soul journey has just begun, it's a journey only the mighty Led Zeppelin can take you on. The music is 50+ years old. You would have LOVED the late 60's and the 70's Most of us here grew up there. Again, Welcome to magic that is Led Zeppelin.
Yes, please do listen to the studio recording of this song as well. This is one of the greatest live performances ever filmed, but the studio version is much cleaner, and more soothing, IMO. Both excellent ear candy, and more than worthy of knowing.
I'm an old man who has loved Led Zeppelin for a long time. I've only heard his song occasionally over the years, mainly at parties a long time ago. I don't remember it on the radio. I never really appreciated it until I started watching people react to this live version. It is an absolutely incredible performance and your reaction to it was the best I've ever seen.
This performance is pure magic. Robert's voice wasn't at his peak but certainly he was more mature as a singer/frontman, what he does, how improvises, how express is amazing. Also Bonham plays a blues song as no one really imagined on that era ❤
As a young woman in 1974, I fell in love with Robert Plant when I saw them live. My date for the concert was a guitarist and was focused on Jimmy Page. Now, I can appreciate the musicianship of each member of the group. They were Rock Gods!
The way that Plant can monuvuer his vocals and Paige playing really bluesy not to mention possibly the greatest rhythm section of all time with JPJ and Bonham
they were ALL MUSICANS - not just like the rubbish from miss piggy lands since 30 years. that's all modern tall-kinkels which think to wannabe musicans in their artificial cordgrabbings
Hi .. I was at that concert way back in 1973 sitting in the 9th row orchestra at MSG when they were filming TSRTS .I WAS 16 years old then and I'm 66 now . Zeppelin played close to 4hrs. that night !!! Enjoy your Led Zeppelin journey , I'm still enjoying mine!!! Please listen to the song called the Ocean from the same concert u won't be disappointed trust me . Enjoy
Wow...your expressions of this performance completely matched the raw energy of the band. Took me back to a time of feeling that euphoric energy after hearing these great bands and their songs for the first time.... awesome, thanks for the post.
This is one of the best pieces of music I’ve experienced in my life. Loved it since I was a kid, and have only gained more appreciation for it as I’ve grown. The studio version is decent, but god DAMN this version goes so hard. Greatest band of all time, and one of their best performances
@@kianna6201Madison Square Garden (1973), there’s a couple versions of it, really I’d say different camera angles. I think the other version is even better, I think if you look it up, it says like AC/DC & some other band under it. It is still a Led Zeppelin performance though.
This is my favorite song performance live, just the passion that is oozing out of all of them, especially Plant & Page. It’s a beautiful song, preformed so amazingly.
@@sicotshit7068 hey mate can you help me understand why there are two version of this and which one is the real one? i MUCH prefer the other one, this sounds bad when comparing
@@rahbeat9785 this is from Madison Square Gardens (1973), this version doesn’t show the audience, like the other one. I think the one with the audience is the better one, it shows the security guard looking in shock. This concert was over 3 nights, so I’d say that’s the one your looking for.
Don't think to many live performances can top this one, no gimmicks, no frills, just the best band that ever walked this earth, they are the GOATS. Glad you liked this. As previously stated, "She gets it". One other thing, I had the honor of seeing Zep back in 77 at the Forum, the best show ever.
This is truly one of their best songs and one of the best performances of it!! 🤘 Wait till you see "The Rain Song" live (Jimmy Page & Robert Plant version) - You are going to cry from happiness, I promise!!! 😊
Aileen, we know how you feel! That’s how I felt when I saw them live at age 14. “Hammer of the gods” certainly describes them well. ❤. Can’t wait for you to see “In My Time Of Dying “ live at Earls Court, 1975.
i have experienced Led Zeppelin just before my memories starts (by my mom, i was like 4yo), because my parents loves rock. My dad was really into Zeppelin, specially into Jimmys Guitar (my dad is also a guitar player, with band and everything). This song, the song remains the same movie, this concert in Madisonm Square Garden, is part of my childhood (i was born in 87), and im rlly thankful the way i was raised into rock n roll. everytime i listen to since ive been loving you, is a sensation of goosebumps by all my body from start til the end, this song is part of my unconscious. Incredible. This is: Led Zeppelin Experience (more than a band).
Jimmy’s guitar 🎸 is amazing. Robert Plant’s vocals are amazing as well. John Paul Jones on keyboards/bass. John Bonham is the best drummer ever! Love some Led Zeppelin!
This is arguably one of the best live performances of Led Zeppelin ever caught on video. It hits on every level and loved watching your reaction to this one.
I have been listening to these rock ‘n’ roll GODS for over 50 years. My first concert was Led Zeppelin at Sheffield Hall football pitch in 1972 and I have been a worshiper ever since. This is a collection of four of the most amazing musicians that ever walked on this planet
So you finally found this masterpiece! Love your reaction. I've seen and heard several versons of it but this gets me every time. It's like an injection of positive energy. So, your next reaction should be "Kashmir" live at Knebworth 1979. John Bonham is wild, to put it mildly. Edit: I see now that you have done "Kashmir" already. So please watch "The Song Remains the Same" and "Rain Song" from the movie The Song Remains the Same.
Not just one of the best blues performances of all time, one of the best live performances of any kind. This performance alone shows why Zeppelin is one of the best bands to ever perform live.
I’ve seen so many Reactions to this video and yours is #1. There are so many ‘moments’ and a lot of listeners pause just when you know something amazing is going to happen…and pause too many times. Thank you for not making it about you! Led Zeppelin, yes … gods!
Only need to watch this work of musical art to realize why the mighty Zep were on the top of the rock food chain. The swagger and soul of this performance is not of this earth. Perfect reaction Aileen!🤘
You have been blessed by the presence of THE rock gods with this video! Led Zeppelin has ways of making a song be a transcendent experience for people. I remember a version of this video, probably taken from the entirety of the live performance (this one is partly live and partly clips so it has been edited), when you see the looks on the faces of a few people in the audience, and they are absolutely captivated by what they are hearing and seeing. One woman obviously was stoned out of her mind, but another woman looks serene at first and then suddenly like Robert Plant aroused her from dozens of feet away! The funny thing is, and I can't exactly recall all the details, but several, if not all of the band, was up for a few days straight and jet lagged when they performed at Madison Square Garden. Absolutely sleep deprived. However, they gave the best freaking concert they could in that state of mind and it was purely magical, and hell, it's still talked about nearly 50 years later! If it wasn't being filmed, no one today would have known except the people in that audience. One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs that will blow your mind: "In My Time Of Dying" It's a spiritual experience with that heavy touch of good ol' blues!
I've seen and listened to this tens of thousands of times over my 50 years and to this day, seeing page play OFF HIS FACE like that live still makes me smile! And your reaction the plants vocals, just the emotion on your face ❤
The album version of this was from Led Zeppelin III in 1970… I thought it was from II at first until I checked. Yeah, there’s a lot of improvisation going on, both in live and studio versions. It’s a very sensual song. I don’t recall offhand which song you did earlier, but you can dig into ‘Whole Lotta Love’, ‘Immigrant Song’, ‘Gallows Pole’, ‘The Battle of Evermore’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’, ‘When the Levee Breaks’, and ‘Kashmir’.
Art is subjective of course, but you can see why Led Zeppelin is widely regarded as the greatest rock band of all time. Lead guitarist Jimmy Page is the mastermind that put the group together, wrote most of the music, and produced all the records by himself… however it is far from a one man band, each member is incredible. The crazy part is that there are over 50 more songs will amaze you like this one did. Every song from this concert (Madison square garden, June 1973) is worth checking out… great reaction, you are lovely, and I hope you keep going with Zeppelin, there are a lot of us who will join you, cheers :)
Robert Plant has this unique ability of using/approaching his vocal mike (as well as its stand) as if he were having an intimate moment or regular talk with a person. He uses this to give the songs this sense of depth and humanity, as oppose to treating the mike as a piece of technology. Quite fascinating... The Earls Court version of "Going To California" is another example of his using that mike approach...
When I was a teen of the 1970's, some movie theaters in Orange County CA at midnight would play the entire Song Remains the Same concert show which is what you are watching, with monster speaker system to give you the feeling you are there front and center. Great times I must say. Some good smoke goes with it for sure. And your reaction is priceless!
Just found you here and loved your reaction. I saw them twice in 1979 the last gigs in the UK. Never to be forgotten! The studio version is great but much more controlled than this amazing performance. There are so much great stuff from this Madison Square concerts. Try Stairway to Heaven or Black Dog or Rock n Roll . Regards from the UK 🇬🇧
Watching you experience that for the first time was an experience for me in itself. Some songs and performances by Zeppelin can’t be put into words. The music made in that era will remain unmatched. Takes you on an emotional and spiritual joy ride. Zeppelin found a way to tap into your soul. Same with Sabbath, Hendrix, etc. Zeppelin was extremely special and unique.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page always had a “call & answer” thing going and John & JPJ held steady. Yes, each one got solo time aka their time to shine. Absolutely Legends!
A _taste_ of the greatness of Led Zeppelin. The blues tracks from their catalog are next level, just like everything else they did. Their blend of blues, rock, _and others,_ are exquisite.
my house echoed with Charlie pride , Johnny cash , Glen cambell , Tammy wynette , Dolly pardon as a kid , all this changed when my brother came home with that album with the cigar on it , i was young not realizing it was an airship , so this is when i knew i had a type of music at 12 years old this band seduced me and i became addicted , in the following years getting exposed to more types of music on the radio there was always a definite heart tug when i heard a new LZ song for the first time it was euphoric , LZ had a fantastic undeniably self style , uplifting to my soul ! the yearning for Led Zeppelin never diminished as im 60 now and every time I hear any of their tunes the biggest grin washes over my face and get all warm inside , many thanks to the talents of Led Zeppelin , RIP John Bonham you are missed .
New subscriber and THANKS for doing what you are doing. There are so many millions of people who have never heard the real music of the 60s & 70s. There wasn't the technology that makes music fake today, and musicians actually had to practice and PLAY & SING with each other. Reminds me of an early Eagles cut where there's a whole lot of hand clapping going on, and they actually had to clap their hands to the beat. You have SO MUCH to learn and to share. THANKS, again !!
I am so glad you did this song. This is the single greatest song ever made in my opinion and my absolute favorite Led Zeppelin song. Love your facial expression and surprise to the changes. This song is such a ride. And you feel every part of it! Every member of this band was godlike in their own right! Big Kudos from me to you for reacting to this song! 👍😊
This was the music we listened to when I was in high school. LZ was my favorite band, but I didn’t appreciate how really special they and their music were, or that it wouldn’t last forever.
The greatest band to ever grace the stage. To do Zeppelin right you need to start at the beginning. First song side one of Led Zeppelins debut album Led Zeppelin 1. Jimmy page produced all of the albums and he changed the way studio recordings were done. His masterful genius innovated 16 track recordings, reverse echo, reverb, added mics to amps, distortion, phasing, precision mic placement on the drums,acoustical recording studios not rooms. All of these things were never before done. So imagine hearing this first album in 1969 the overdubs the call and response, The thunderous drums and the precise instrumentation with 4 of the very best masterful musicians on the planet. Forever changed the way music was recorded, heard, and performed. Led Zeppelin influenced every band that followed and still does to this day. That's why I say start at the beginning then you will hear and feel the progression and total diversity of the band. There was literally nothing they could not do. And that becomes evident by the 3rd album. Each album unique and different. Remember we had to wait 6 month or a year before we could go buy the next led zeppelin album. So every day you played that record from begging to end. With each new song now becomes your new favorite. Until you hear the next track and your blown away again. This experience goes on throughout every album. In my opinion the anticipation, excitement and mind blowing eargasms you will have when you play full albums from start to finish the way Jimmy produced them to be heard. Give you the best understanding of just how much this band set the bar on the music screen. Timeless music that fills our soul. This journey is a long one. But after taking it you will never hear music the same. Here's my suggestion start with the first album studio versions. After that then do live recordings of tracks from that album. And repeat that throughout all their albums. By doing this you will see the masteries of the studio. Then the adlib of taking a 3 minute song into a one of a kind 30 minute live performance. Every live performance the songs changed. There shows would go from 2 hours to 3 1/2+ hours long . Literally a jam session that featured all 4 members equally taking the music in any direction they wanted without missing a beat. When you hear Dazed and confused live specifically from 1973 MSG. You will witness the best live recording that has ever been made in the history of live performances by any band from any era. I cannot wait to follow you down this rabbit hole. I love your heart felt reactions and this journey will change your life. Every day I still after 50 years start my day with getting the Led out. Never gets old. I can't wait to see how it effects you.🤘🤘🤘
Eileen, I know how much you love Led Zeppelin, so you HAVE TO listen and react to The Song Remains the Same and Rain Song, live at Madison Square Garden 1973. It’s the same concert that Since I’ve Been Lovin You you just reacted to. Trust me.. you will LOVE IT!!
First time I’ve been here. You’re energy is contagious! I’m surprised you didn’t comment on how it was SOOOO deeply imbedded it was in the Blues. Please continue on your Zepplin journey. ❤
I just subscribed. Wow I have never seen such an emotional reaction as yours to this song. I grew up in the 70s and saw Zeppelin in 77. Its so cool seeing such a beautiful soul as you loving this song. Their live performances were out of this world especially the indoor shows such as this legendary Madison Square Garden concert. This is the kind of music we of this era grew up with, not only Led Zeppelin the greatest rock band in the world but so many other classic bands and songs. Please keep reacting to Zep, there are so many great songs. One you will love is a song called "Thank You" and also "Ten Years Gone"... Love from the Bay Area, California
Love love love Led Zeppelin 😍Thank you so much for your wonderful reaction to my absolute favorite song with Robert Plant 👍😊Zeppelin are fantastic to experience live, saw them a few times in the 70s, but this particular song from this concert I think is not as good as the studio version where Robert Plant puts so much more emotion into the song, so you can't help but cry. I think you should give it a try 😍👍 Since I've Been Lovin' You: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K8R7zjJMIfU.html&ab_channel=BlackDog
Ha ha. Fun reaction! It's always fun to see peoples jaws drop when seeing a classic for the first time. Amazing this show was 50 years ago now. I think you'd love everything from the film The Song Remains The Same. The Rain Song, Stairway To Heaven, Celebration day, all of them. Cheers!
The Zepps were and are more than just music, which by the way is great. They are a whole experience if you let yourself connect with them. This is what good music does takes you by the hand and shakes your soul. 🎉
The emotions that you feel from their songs is so powerful. Thats what helped make them special. Listen to Babe i'm gonna leave you or going to california for example and see how his emotions and feelings are in every note.
John Bonham was one of if not the greatest drummers of all time. He passed away in 1980 and it was so devastating to the band they decided not to continue. Thats how important he was to Led Zeppelin and their iconic sound
Great reaction As a teenager in the mid to late 80s (with hippie parents) I was blessed to grow up with the best rock music ever recorded. By age 10 it was the Beatles By 12 the Stones 13 Hendrix, The Doors By 14 Led Zeppelin Now at 51nearly 40 years later and still it’s Led Zeppelin
Funny enough Robert plant actually said singing this song was way out of his comfort zone and he always felt out of place singing it the way Jimmy page wanted him to, but still managed to kill it, suppose his raw confidence supplemented for him
Yes, you should also listen to the studio version. It is incredible to hear clearly all of them (guitar, voice, Drums, Bass) doing their madness, being at their best in this next level blues composition.
Aileen - Clearly you need to dig into Zep's material! There are many more songs by them that will blow your mind and make your heart beat faster. For an example of one of their acoustic masterpieces, check out Going to California. Make sure you choose the Earl's Court 1975 live video. Enjoy!!
You are a fool for not going down the rabbit hole a year ago. Led Zeppelin will take you for the ride of your life. Stairway to heave is a must. When the Levee Breaks is a must - especially if you like the blues stuff they do. There is so much amazing music these guys put out that it will blow your mind. Watch Dazed and Confused - madison square garden and go nuts. In my teen I was a Zep head and it was before Mtv. We never really saw these guys as they never went on tv. We only knew vaguely what they looked like from albums. Our devotion was the music. Solely the music. It was so much being taken on a journey. You sat in your room with headphones and the stereo loud and closed your eyes and were off to mythical places, legendary worlds, different genres with the Zeppelin's take - only Zep can do that. No one ever came close to the music, the GOAT of each of their instruments. They were the gods of rock and still are. Look up the most tickets sold and requested ever - Zeppelin's Celebration Day 2007. They were old men by then in their 60s. Bonzo the drummer long dead but, in his place his son, Jason, who learned at his knee. The record has yet to be broken. And the Zep, in their 60s, were still the gods. Still the best ever.
Yeah Aileen, good choice of a band and song to listen too and show others that never heard this song before, most people know who Led Zeppelin is but a lot of young people don't, especially this song and this live version, thanks for the share, you are beautiful.
THE STUDIO VERSION WITH THE HEADPHONES! first listened to it in 1971... blew me away! one of the best ever... love your reaction!!!! you are wonderful!
The emotion of musicians getting together to create art is a powerful experience and we as human beings with the capacity to hear are fortunate, and people without can hopefully pick up on your energy whilst watching and the musicians that you feature. Zep are an incredible band and I hope you savour the flavour :)
When your a 8 -10 year old and hear Led Zeppelin for the first time; and grow up on Led Zeppelin filling your ears and freeing your soul...well, so much of everything else (Pop 80's and 90's) that came after, was very underwhelming....So great to see your experience here 50+ years later. TY
I think you have the best, most heartfelt reactions on the internet! I firmly believe that anyone not moved to the foundations of their soul by this legendary performance... isn't actually alive.
Watching your reactions to Led Zeppelin is like I'm hearing it for the first time again. Heavy Blues which this is the definitive song of the whole genre and then recorded in 1973 live in MSG, so what is being heard is an original power-house Tour de Force without anything added or taken away to improve the sound like so many people do today, this is just 4 men who would do between 7 & 9 US 25 night tour's in one year, this is why they are this good.
