Instead of changing the clocks by 1 hour for daylight savings ,let's set them back to the era of Led Zeppelin....

Believe it or not, this song, despite its length and strange arrangement, was played in regular rotation on FM rock stations during my youth. The older I get (alas, can't get a whole lot older, due to an expiration date unknown) the more I appreciate the music of my youth. Dang, we had great music back in the day.

I'm about to turn 67. Realize that this song was a Top 40 a.m. radio hit. Let that sink in for a minute relative to what's on the radio today.

Backdoor, back then, meant literally the backdoor. That door refers to where a lover could sneak in and out of undetected.

More Zeppelin is always more better.

Here’s one : “ Babe I’m gonna leave you “ - Led Zeppelin 🔥👍

"I wasn't ready" made me laugh. Zeppelin is next level.

At the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, Jimmy Page rises from the top of a double decker bus and starts playing Whole Lotta Love to promote English culture for the next Olympic Games in London. How cool was that 🤗

Everything they did was "always light and shade, a whisper to the thunder." To quote Jimmy Page

Plant had the perfect voice for real rock and roll!

55 yrs later. I still get chills on that final scream in the fade out.

Lotta babies made to this song !!!

Thank you to the supporter who suggested this. There is not even a word to describe Zeppelin. I love hanging out on Polos Chanel. Sometimes I feel like I’m all alone in this world. I love blasting this music in my car when I’m driving. It sucks sometimes not being able to experience these times with like minded people.

This song is a must with headphones.

John Bonham showed his genius in this song. He's been gone for a long time and is still a GOAT on the Drums.

This brings back memories. I was 16 years old and living in Kaysville, Utah. I’m 70 years old now. I came across your podcast a few days ago and been watching them for 5 hours straight now. I love watching and listening to your reactions from the artists that you share with us. You’re a very special person. You feel deeply. You’re real 😻

Notice each of their songs are very different, but as soon as you hear them on a radio, you know it is Zeppelin.

I was 14 when this was released. Zep and Floyd the best music ever

Jimmy Pages ability to make amazing sound effects is legendary. You should see him play with a violin bow. Effin genius.

You can never go wrong with the Zep! you should celebrate your birth onto this planet! We are all souls of creation and worthy of celebrating! Happy almost Birthday, POLO!

again. JPJ the most underrated musician ( not just bass) … musician. he can do anything. he’s basically playing rhythm guitar in this song.

Happy B-day!!!! Just celebrated my 71st birthday on the 8th. Still LOVE Led Zepp and just BLAST IT when my grandkids aren't here. Reminds me of my Navy Days during the Vietnam War. I've instructed my kids to play "Stairway to Heaven" at my funeral some day. :)

John Bonham was the greatest drummer in rock history. He was known as the Beast. If you want to see his masterpiece you should watch the live version of Moby Dick When he died the band broke up. Zeppelin did a reunion tour with John Bonham son Jason who plays the drums just like his dad. This was the music of my youth. I still listen to it on vinyl

I can't believe the way this song holds up today, 50 years later. If this came out today it would blow the doors off everything else.

Its a cello bow on the guitar.

You've heard this ...1st song whose guitar lead captured every young man's imagination...beyond anything done up until this time. Flawless song. Middle section simulates/emulates an O..gazm

I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert…in THE 70’s! Nuff said.

Voted No. 1 Rock riff in history for a reason. You forget until you see someone react for the first time

Even Robert Plant plays an instrument It's called "The Voice of the Gods" He's the only one who knows how to play it

Grew up with Zeppelin. Some of the best and most timeless music around..

Heard 1st time in 1969 + it blew me away!!! Led Zeppelin will never be duplicated never! I still love every song forever

march 11, 1954! my BD Polo! 70yrs old & still rocking to LED ZEPPELIN! Happy Birthday to both of us!

Happy birthday, Polo. Zeppelin is a great start for your birthday!

Another trip around the sun! Happy Birthday!

This is a Muddy Waters song they arranged in their way. Happy Birthday!

This song outraged so many parents back then.... I'm 58 and loved these guys since day 1. I have 2 older siblings, oneplayed Zepp, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc while the other was the Beatles, CCR, Cat Stevens etc..... I was SOOOOOO lucky!

"Happy B-Day" Polo! Sending You, A Whole Lotta Love!!!!

This is another song that makes me hurt my senior citizen self. I sprained my wrist on my steering wheel banging on it a couple of years ago. I know this song as soon as the first bar comes on the radio

We ate this for breakfast. This is what Gen-X was raised on. This is who we are.

The mighty Led Zeppelin made life in the 70’s a better place. Now I’m 70 and it still has that magic. Birthday Blessings, Polo!

Been waiting so long for you to react to this song. Thank you for your reaction. It's like hearing this song again for the first time, re-living it through you.

'cooler than the other side of the pillow' That's a good one. Happy birthday Polo

Best drummer and guitarest in the same band of all time

Secret trick of their sound: Bonham’s kick doubled the guitar riff and bass often, giving them that thick feel.

One of the greatest Zeppelin songs, so happy to hear you liked it!!

I think you will love their song Ramble On.

Happy birthday old mate. My wife bought me tickets to see Suzi Quatro on the 23rd, my 70th birthday, haven't seen Suzi live since 1975. You keep on rockin' Polo, I love what you do.

Between Jimmy and Robert, can't deny Zeppelin

A beast of a track, that riff, the drumming, JPJ matching the guitar and then Robert’s vocals leaving no ambiguity as to what it’s about, no surprising it’s considered one of the best rock songs!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday, Polo! Hope you have an amazing day. The line "I wanna be your back door man" is an old blues riff. The husband or regular boyfriend came in through the front door and the "lover" came in through the back door. I just love how much you love Led Zeppelin. The sound track of my life from the late '60s through the '70s, there was Yes, LZ, Pink Floyd, ELP, The Moody Blues, Genesis, Jethro Tull, etc. etc. and you are there digging all of it. It's a joy to watch you hear these amazing bands and songs for your first time. =)

Happy Birthday! 🎉 This is a great song to give to yourself! You cant go wrong with Led Zeppelin. "Don't tell me you've never got the Led out!?" - School of Rock.

Happy birthday! Drummer John Bohnam’s yell at 8:44 😊

I just want to make sure you Knew. Abbey road came out same year and beetle were doing ‘come together’ and ‘here comes the sun’ while the stones put out ‘gimme shelter’ and ‘you can’t always get what you want’ which are all great songs. But this is next level different and game changing. 1969. Wish I had been a teenager back then. My brother was only 1 and I was a wink in my father’s eye.

Don't forget, when you listen to these songs, about the year that they came out and were hits. That was a raw song back in the day. Yes, I was there...lol...and still love them.

Hold on. I wasn’t ready. ❤❤❤🤘🏻

Happy Birthday Polo, Have a great vacation.

Well now it’s after Midnight, so Happy Birthday Sir.

Great review of an incredible song! Drummer kills it.

I remember the first time i heard this song.......I thought how are they going to top this!! Ive loved ZEPPELIN for as long as i can remember. BEST BAND EVER!!!

I bought myself the Celebration Day video from Led Zeppelin for my last birthday! What an amazing concert that would have been! Wishing you the best on your day!

Happy Birthday, Polo!!. This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song- but honestly I love them all and listen to them still, to this day. I'm 66, but feel 21 in my heart. I was lucky enough to see them at Riverfront in Cincinnati in the 70's❤❤

Jimmy Page and that bow on the guitar strings.🤣 I remembered Zep being asked what this song was about, they all laughed and stated “Exactly What It Sounds Like and What The Lyrics Clearly Say!

I haven't had many birthday parties ether...didn't have them in my family. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love that you love the mighty Led Zep ❤

Happy Birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂take that trip, have that cake, read that book, enjoy

Happy Birthday!🎉

back door man had a different meaning in the 70's-one man leaving by the front door of the house and one sneaking in the back. Hope your Birthday is relaxing and wonderful!

Note how Jimmy used studio "reverse echo" (where the echo happens before the word on the song) on Roberts lyrics. He did this by cutting and pasting actual tape together in the studio.

Happy birthday baby, treat yourself nice and enjoy it all.

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉 Hope you do go on your trip. Tennessee is a wonderful place for someone who enjoys music. Beautiful country to lay down a blanket and read a book under the beautiful sky, peaceful and majestic. At night go listen to some great music. God bless.

Happy Birthday, Polo. Zep is always great. Nice reaction.

Happy Birthday! Zepplin is always a great choice. Go watch the live concert video.

Happy Birthday man 🎉 mines coming up April. Going kayaking. Led Zeppelin was my medicine through out my life.

Happy birthday

Hi I’m a 53 year old man from the UK, I would love to see how a gentleman from the USA would react to a song from my younger days. In the late 70s and early 80s there was a musical phenomenon called Two tonne, Ska and sometimes skinhead music. It stated with working class kids who had grown up listening to traditional Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and reggae. These Influences were mixed with punk and a whole new movement was born. The artist from both black and white backgrounds came together to inspire the young people of the uk to stand and dance with each other. The track I was thinking of for you was Ghost town by the specials. The specials for a mix of black and white kids who had grown up together in a West Midlands town called Coventry in England. This was at the start of the 80s when Margaret Thatcher was still in power as the Prime Minister and unemployment was running high in the United Kingdom. It is more solemn belief that if more people came together with music the bit less hate in the world. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RZ2oXzrnti4.htmlsi=ubi-VFNgQ6cg4RYm

No one like Bonham!! RIP John! Greatest drummer!❤

🎂🎈✨🎈✨🎈🎉**Happy Birthday Polo**🎉🎈✨🎈✨🎈🎂

Those birthday plans sound like the best kind. I understand the desire to turn down the thoughts and read. Hope you get to enjoy doing that. Also, Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band since I found them late in 1978. Thank you.

There’s so much room for creativity in ALL genres of music! You just gotta let your mind be free! Break the “rules” and Conquer fear!

I don’t celebrate my birthday either Polo but I want to wish you a great birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 💙

Back door man is the guy going out the back door as the husband is coming in the front door.

I'm 56, so unfortunately I was a few years too late to see Zeppelin live. I only saw my first concert in 1979, grade 7. John Bonham died 1 year later. I did find a soundboard bootleg from March 19th and 20th 1975 from Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum... my home town. It sounds so freaking clear! I was too young to see it, but my uncles were there on the first night. I'm so freaking jealous. I did get to see Robert Plant solo though... 3 times... '83, '85, and '88. The '83 tour had Phil Collins on drums, and the encore was a jam similar to the psychedelic part of Whole Lotta Love, with Plant saying "Push it! Push it! Push it!". 😎

That's my ringtone! According to the kids in my company I'm the coolest grandma they know. LOL! You can NOT go wrong with Led. "Backdoor man" was a secret lover who came in and left through the backdoor... unseen.

...must turn it up.... chills -- 55 years later...

HBD2U! Here is to one more trip around the sun… and many, many, many, more.

Many happy returns on your own personal holiday!

The first time I heard this my grandmother was nearby, and after it was over, I asked her if it wasn’t the most beautiful song she had ever heard and was absolutely astonished when she said “No.” I was 13 at the time, and the remains of Led Zeppelin is still my favorite band to this day, at age 68. _Kashmir_ is my cell phone’s ringtone!

“ Cooler than the other side of a pillow “ made me laugh sf hard! 🤣😂

Happy, happy birthday, Polo! Always treat yourself! You are worth it. ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happiest of birthdays! Self care is a wonderful thing to gift to yourself! When you said read and go biking I was thinking wouldn't that be nice.... Here in the mountains of NH we had a snow storm and received a few inches of snow (we were already at flood stage before the snow.) In these mountains there is a 5th season (I didn't know that until I moved here 2 years ago) called Mud Season! Winter, Mud, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Hope you enjoy your birthday trip as much as you enjoy listening to great music!

"back door man" is a blues reference. Hubby heads for work out the front door and lover comes in the back door....or runs out the back door when hubby comes home.

Back in my college days there was an eleven story dorm. Every once in a while someone who had a fantastic stereo system would put the speakers out the window and play “love” and it sounded like someone falling out the window. Great times

Happy Birthday Mr. P

Happy Birthday 🎉 The race car sound is sliding the pick up the strings. Then it's playing guitar with a bow. I'm sure you caught the little tip of the hat to traditional African drums, you'll even see Robert and John do a traditional African dance.

Did you know Led Zeppelin has a country song go to the album in through the outdoors look for a song called Hot Dog!. Do you know for the fun of it? You won’t be disappointed.

Even after farrr to many decades of listening to LZ and this track , it still gives me chills Master class from the best

Happy Birthday you deserve to celebrate and be celebrated.

I was a teeni n the70s...best time of my life! .happy birthday!!! They were always magnificent!!

I am so loving you loving Zep
