INCREDIBLE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven REACTION 

Zeppelin, Psychedelics, long hair, tight jeans it was a recipe for a perfect Friday night in the 70's. We had so much fun, freedom and the best music.

Robert Plant was our golden haired rock god of the 70s. Jimmy Page didn’t just play the guitar but he breathed life to it. John Paul Jones kept the slow steady tempo, that builds and builds up with the passion of Plant’s voice. John Bonham gave the whole band a heartbeat. Sheer rock, pure and simple. But yet … complex and passionate. One of top 5 rock bands ever.

Hi .. I was sitting in the 9th row orchestra at MSG way back in 1973 when they were filming TSRTS. I was 16 years old then & I'm now 66 . Zeppelin played close to 4 hrs. that nite .The whole concert was truly unbelievable. Please enjoy your Zeppelin journey . I'm still on my journey Enjoy .

Led Zepplin are Gods of rock and roll. Their music will stand the test of time for thousands of years!

I’m speechless every time I hear Led Zeppelin so much emotion and energy

When Robert first sang this song he used to say” this a song of hope!” It gave all of us 14,15,16 year olds a feel of hope for the future! It was really a mantra for us growing up in the 70’s!!!❤️❤️❤️

Amber, Amber, Amber, you made my soul sing watching you get “it!” You’re right on the money when you defined this song as an experience, and as such it was meant to be enjoyed with friends. Thank you so much for the two of you for inviting us to experience “it” with you. 👍🏻👍🏻

There was no better band to see live back then as Led Zepplin. I was lucky enough to see them in concert 3 times. A lifetime experience every time.

You have to listen to the studio version. It's the most ICONIC song ever recorded. Listen to the version we've all known for 50+ years. It's perfect!

Its so nice to see young people enjoying the music us oldies loved when we were teenagers. Good music is timeless.

This song is so beautiful. Just the instruments used in the intro are captivating from their first notes. This album is a masterpiece. Just saying. It blew our minds when it was released originally. Glad you loved it. More Zeppelin please. Thanks. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

I think there will never be a song more EPIC then "Stairway To Heaven"...It is the most ICONIC ever! 😍❣🎸🎼

Page's greatest live performances include In My Time of Dying, and the 28 minute version of Dazed and Confused (greatest guitar solo ever recorded)!

MASTERPIECE both live and studio...after all these years it still holds its place at the top

You should definitely listen to the studio version, which is perfect and has maybe the most iconic guitar solo in rock music. Also it should be noted that Page said these Madison Square Garden concerts were kind of average hohum gigs, not great or bad. It's just when they had the camera's and recording equipment scheduled. Edit: you said you want to hear some more Page hot live soloing, I think the live version of Whole Lotta Love from this MSG concerts has a lot a fun flashy improvised soloing in the middle of it. Page could be pretty sloppy, but he really could play very free and loose, and that's when he's best live.

I've always found these four lines so significant for the times we now live in And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. I grew up with this song, as well as many others, it's a joy seeing the younger generation enjoying it as much as I did first time around.

The Real Rock Gods .... And this almost 50yrs old and still holds the test of time ... And Robert is 24 here with so much SWAG... Jimmy leaves MSG on his solo, Bonzo follows Jimmy per note

A must is their live performance of “Since I’ve Been Loving You” at Madison square garden…it will blow your socks off 💕 You are an adorable pair (with beautiful children) I so enjoy watching you two react to the music I loved in the Seventies. 🌻

I saw Robert Plant live! Our seats were so close to the stage I could literally see his face. My late husband was a huge fan. He camped out to get our tickets. Plant’s performance was incredible! That is a night I will never forget as long as I live ! ✌️❤️

You gotta hear the STUDIO version! LIKE WOOOW!!!

I met Jimmy Page when I was 17. My boyfriend was basically paralyzed from seeing this rock god. I got his autograph. Nice dude. 🤘

What's so amazing is Amber is NOT "fake" like many reactors. She genuinely is into the great musicians and when she closes her eyes during the guitar solos, you KNOW she real af.

The studio version is even better. Absolutely incredible!

The studio version was a perfect musical moment in time, documented for the world to treasure.

The live performance is amazing for it's free styling play, show causing Jimmy Page, and the vocals of Robert Plant. But, I am a firm lover of the studio recording. It is well balanced and blends the tones of it's highs and lows perfectly, for an astounding sound. Amber would love the studio version, it's depth of sound takes you on a magical ride of the mind and soul. I know you have done Heart and now the live versions, but you would not regret the studio version, the classic original version.

“Dazed and Confused” 1976 live is around 29 minutes long. Jimmy Page goes to another dimension. JPJ base is outrageous. JB drums!!! And then RP singing is fantastic. To me it is one of the best lives EVER.

In this live version, in the extended part of the guitar solo, if heaven exists, there is a note to get you there. The entire solo is amazing, but that particular note has spoken to my very existence since I first saw the movie of this concert in 1978.

Led Zep, The Who, Meatloaf, Stones and so many other top tier bands all making first time ever music of its time. We were blessed back in the day. So pleased you are with us now.

Watching them perform this live is awesome but you really need to listen to the studio version which is beyond amazing. Love Led Zeppelin!

I saw Led Zeppelin back in 1971 in the Ulster Hall, Belfast.That was actually the first time they performed this new song ,"Stairway" live at the beginning of a tour.Lord Of the Rings was being read by many of us back then so you can see the lyrical influence in some of Zep's songs such as this one.The Irish Troubles were just under way and would continue for nearly thirty years and Belfast was not too safe, with murder everywhere , but the band came anyway and were much appreciated for performing for us hippies in something of a war-zone. More recently I actually met Robert Plant after seeing his own band a few times in Belfast and had a great conversation behind the scenes about all sorts of things(Did you know he fancied being a stone-mason?).A couple of us were guests of his keyboards wizard John Baggot ,so we had a very special all-access time .Referring to the Belfast gig fifty years ago when I was nineteen he said...I was only twenty -three myself ... and we hardly knew what we were doing back then!!

This is my favorite song of all time. I don't mean this in a bad way, but I have seen them live. The put soo much effort in the recorded version and I think it is better than the live version. Just my opinion, you should also check out the original recorded version.

Now You know WHY This was the Number One Requested Song for over 20 Years.... 🎶🎸🎸🎶

Some of Page's best recorded live guitar work is in "In My Time of Dying". He's got some great solos and shows off his slide playing as well. If you haven't heard the studio recording, it's one of the Zepplin songs that is a must. If you're a fan of the band, you have to do that song. "Ten Years Gone" is another masterpiece, with one of Page's best solos. You will never tire of hearing it.

I was fortunate enough to have seen them live several times in the 70's, great band......a lot of peoples greatest of all time.

This is from The Song Remains the Same. One of the best music documentaries ever. The whole concert is amazing!!

Greatest live guitar solo of all time. It still gives me goosebumps. I love you guys and your reactions! I especially love seeing two young people with pictures of the goddamn Bee Gees on their wall! Now THAT'S something you don't see every day. Well done.

Iconic. And I do love love love the original studio version. 50 years - wow. Don't you wonder what was going through Plant's and Page's and JPJ's heads while they were listening to Heart's tribute performance?

Music back in the day with no autotune and no drum machine, as it should be. I am amazed at how Bohnam and Jones were able to keep a steady, continuous beat and rhythm while Page went off on his solos, almost instinctively knowing when Page was going to stop and pick up where the song left off with Page. Page had many epic solos, some lasting forever (his live "Dazed and Confused" solos for example).

The next Led Zeppelin song you need to do is The Rain Song, absolutely epic. There is a live version on RU-vid with a full orchestra back up. Incredible song and arrangement including a close up of Jimmy Page playing acoustic guitar throughout. It really is a must see.

The Kennedy Centre band version with the Wilson sisters from Heart is brilliant too, BUT… they had 6 guitarists on stage, two choir sections, a chamber orchestra, a bass player and two keyboard players! LZ had Jimmy on guitar and JPJ on keyboard while playing all the bass on bass pedals with his feet. These young guys were insanely good to be able to make such a sound with 4 people! That’s why this version stands u to the studio version - cos it’s just 4 guys on stage having a blast…

Studio version next. Stairway to Heaven was constantly listed in yearly countdowns in the top 3 songs of all time for decades. That's because the studio version was perfection. No live version can equal it. !5 years ago Casey Kasem was doing his greatest hits count down when he said that Stairway to Heaven was the 2nd most requested song in history. #1 .... Happy Birthday.

The studio version is perfection.

Jimmy Page is absolutely amazing! That’s definitely why listening to a song live is great. But still listen to studio version.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I got an evil grin on my face predicting Amber's reaction, but to be honest, it ended up being the look of sheer, delighted disbelief on Jay's face during the guitar solo that made this so precious. Amber was just _gone_ : love the way she's found her inner hippy... Great reaction guys - keep on exploring.👍

All of their performances at this 1973 show at Madison Square Garden are completely insane. I suggest you watch "Since I've be loving You". A true masterpiece. Led Zeppelin live, there's no equal. Greets from Brazil 🇧🇷🤘👊

I LOVE how the song climbs its own stairway of intensity to the top level !!

Love Led Zeppelin since I was a teenager in the 70's. Im almost 63 yrs now and still listening! I wore my Led Zeppelin t-shirt to high school!

It is a blessing to see young people "discover" this music. There is a lot more Zeppelin you haven't reacted to, but this is not only the king of Led Zeppelin, it may very well be the king of all songs period.

Rarely ever should you do the live version of a song first…no matter how good it may be… Paul McCartney’s Maybe I’m Amazed & Peter Frampton’s Do You Feel Like We Do are a couple rare instances where the live version is better. Led Zeppelin’s studio version of Stairway To Heaven IS the best version to listen to first.

And it took a full band, an orchestra & three choirs to even come close to what you just watched performed by 4 guys. 🤘🎶❤️

There are no bands like this anymore, it’s a bygone era, I’m 70, i was in a rock band at the time and was 20 years old or so, we covered all the rock hits, but this song always got a standing ovation from the crowd, man those were the days.

Greatest rock ‘n’ roll band of all time

I love the live version of Stairway to heaven . The solo is what blows me away. Did you guys know that the footage of the live version of Stairway to heaven is from a concert movie that Led Zeppelin filmed 49 years ago at Madison Square Garden in 1973 but didn't release the concert movie until 1976 when they were inactive from recording in the studio or touring live cuz I think Robert Plant had been in a car accident that resulted in him being injured, so while he was healing Led-Zeppelin put the concert movie out to keep the Fan base happy and Content for the time being until they could start working again. The concert movie is called The Song Remains the same. If you guys ever want to? You can consider reacting to the concert movie. It's pretty good. Btw Jay Jimmy Page is my guitar hero cuz of seeing the movie. I love both the light honey burst finish 1958 Gibson Les Paul he uses as well as the maroon double necked Gibson SG Axe he was shredding on Stairway to heaven there.Listen to Dazed and confused live version from Led-Zeppelin next. That solo is fire. You thought that Stairway to heaven live is something else? You are going to be in for a treat with Dazed and confused live. Jay you are going to love how the song tempo starts out with John Paul Jones plucks at the bass strings. My favorite part of Dazed and confused live is the Scott McKenzie If you are going to San Francisco be sure to wear some Flowers in your hair medley they go into ,but they make that cover song their own. You guys just gotta check out Dazed and confused live.You are right Amber Led Zeppelin wasn't just a group, they are as well as were an experience from 1969-1980. They were dubbed one of the first heavy metal bands of all time as well.

Not Just one of Led Zeppelin’s greatest solos but one of the greatest guitar solos and rock ‘n’ roll.

Next song should be Since I've Been Loving You from the same concert. Absolutely stunning guitar from Jimmy, both rhythm and lead. One of the best live performances ever IMO.

Just the fact they did that version live...how can one not cry hearing that....theres a reason this band and song is the no1 in so many polls....wow

Jimmy Page is considered one of the best ever guitarists. Hearing him actually play the song is a must. I've got to agree with others on the studio version.

Adding my voice to the chorus calling for the studio version! You MUST experience it! Both versions are great in their own way, but the studio version's success is what caused everyone to fall in love with this song in the first place. Once already in love with it, this one with its live energy, improvisation, and lyrical changes can best be appreciated with the studio version in mind as a frame of reference. But even having heard this one first, you will still be able to appreciate the studio version's clarity, precision, and top-level playing and singing. It's kind of like doing a first-time binge-viewing of a large movie franchise like MCU or Star Wars in theatrical release order versus chronological order within the story line. While some will say chronological for first-timers, most will say theatrical release order, viewing it as all the original audiences first saw it. Plus, there will be references within the movies that only make sense by seeing them in the original order. Then after one is a fan, chronological order will heighten the enjoyment. But it's often regarded as not a good first viewing.

I’ve always loved the musical progression of this song sonically representing an ascending stairway!

50 years old and still going strong in 200 years this will be considered classical music.

Get it girl!! Love how you are just letting the music into your soul .

Thank you Jay and Amber for doing this timeless classic. Like so many people, I have heard this song a thousand times, but watching your reaction made it new for me again. You can't really go wrong with Jimmy Page solos, but here are a few that I think stand out. Some you may have already heard: "Heart Full of Soul" (live, as a member of the Yardbirds) "Good Times, Bad Times" "Communication Breakdown" "I Can't Quit You Baby" (check out the "live" version from the 'Coda' album!) "Hearbreaker" "Since I've Been Loving You" "Celebration Day" "Out On the Tiles" "Black Dog" (I think you have done this one, but it never gets old) "Rock and Roll" "Traveling Riverside Blues" "The Song Remains the Same" "Over the Hills and Far Away" "No Quarter" "Custard Pie" "Kashmir" (check out the live version from the 1979 Knebworth Festival!) "Achilles Last Stand" "For Your Life" "Nobody's Fault But Mine" "Tea For One" "In the Evening" "One Hit (to the Body)" (guest spot with the Rolling Stones) "Scarlet" (guest spot with the Rolling Stones) "Heaven Knows" (Robert Plant solo from 1988)

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Rock And Roll" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"!!!

One of the most iconic songs ever written. May I suggest Misty Mountain Hop next by them.

My interpretation of the hidden meaning of this song. But first the lyrics to the song, which are followed by the interpretation: There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh ooh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it makes me wonder There's a feeling I get When I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all, yeah To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to Heaven --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My interpretation of the hidden meaning of this song is below: He is singing about Satan (the Piper), calling you to join him, and he will lead you to [his] truth. Stairway to Heaven = a reference to eternal life in the abode of God and the angels, traditionally depicted as being above the sky. The stores are closed, but the (the May Queen) = those who must be pure in their seeking, those who seek to be a "Rock" (a god), can get what they want with a word (submission to Satan), it can't be purchased with money or in a store. Words have two meanings = Satan's truth can be a lie, and earthly riches (gold) can make you poor (spiritually dead)! Forests = those of this fallen world. Whispering wind = (Satan has the authority of the air) and uses music and the media, and your stairway (to Heaven or godhood, depends on his words). May Queen = symbolized as the woman of purity (One seeking godhood, or their own truth, while denying or rejecting the True God, Yahweh, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Songbird = (Artist used by demonic forces) is a bird that utters a succession of musical tones (Words or songs with double meanings and secret meanings, which are suggestions from the Piper (Satan). The Piper = (Satan) is ultimately teaching [his] truth, which is saying when "All Are One, And One Is All" (Globalism/Ecumenicalism), you can be a "Rock" (a god), which is the same lie told to Eve in the garden, where one can determine their own truth, their own right and wrong, good and evil...and not "roll" (die)! The lie of Satan led to the fall of mankind, but truth and salvation are found only in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10 NASB). Blessings, †

Jay/Amber thank you for listening to Stairway to Heaven. If you really want to get blown away from that same concert. Since I ‘ve been loving you or Dazed and Confused. Also from Knebworth 1979 Achilles last Stand you will not be disappointed at all. There is a reason why the mighty Zep machine is one of the greatest rock bands in the world. Thanks for what you have been doing. Stay happy!!!

Bringing me back to my high school parties. I did not do drugs ever! I still love my friends, and I loved music, so we would chill in front of a bomb fire and I would back my 1979 Thunderbird up, open up the trunk, and blast this!! Yes baby!! I miss my youth! Great job guys! Thanks!!!!

I don't think I am overstating the case when I say this is the most iconic song in rock history.

And if you listen very hard The tune (truth) will come to you at last When all is one and one is all. Led Zeppelin

You finally listened to THE REAL THING!!! One note is that they traditionally perform Stairway at the END of their concerts ... so you are watching them work after two hours or MORE of songs ... they are tired and winding down but have so much still to give to this final song. Watch closely and you can see their sweat.

The expression on Amber’s face at the end says it all. Great reaction. Big surprise to find out you’ve never reacted to this classic. A joy to watch people experience this masterpiece

This is my most favorite band! I love Stairway to Heaven. If you haven’t done Kashmir yet, you must. It’s their very best. It’s my all-time favorite song. ❤

I prefer the studio version, especially for the shorter guitar solo at the end. It's really just perfect. In contention for top guitar solo ever. Of course, this version is also kinda cool because of the video, where you can see everybody and the lighting is neat. I realize you won't cover it here, but you can - and should - listen to the studio version on your own.

Every member Plant, Paige, Jones and Bonham has my upmost respect for their skills. This is my all time favorite band ever.. yes I said it. Wish I could have seen them live. Lots of their music touch me so much I will weep

OMG! Just WOW! lived through the 70's & have never seen nor heard the live version before! This was Epic! & of course we had the album & heard it on the radio all of the times ! Keep up the good work! This was awesome! Keep up the good work!

In the 60's we use to call Zeppelin Acid Rock. That's because this kind of music was great to trip on.

It's fascinating that Jimmy Page came up with the general structure of the song after listening to Ravel's Bolero. It starts off with a single guitar, adds a recorder(record)/flute(live), then a vocal line, gradually adding more and more instruments in various combinations, gradually building through to the big finish.

One of Page's top ten solos! Zeppelin live is on a whole other level.

Led Zeppelin, while in concert was always improvising...the extended guitar solo here is a good example!

Im from the UK and you guys are by far the best at reaction videos. The mere fact you are willing to listen to anything and that you obviously enjoy it makes you guys special. With love from London, UK. Keep up the good vibes :)

hy guys,you have to check out to Alip_Ba_Ta,he is a one of the best guitarist fingerstyle in the world from indonesia,and he have huge fans that make your channel blown, if you react to him.. you can try react to bohemian rhapsody,numb linkin park,or sweet child o mine cover by Alip_Ba_Ta..and theres a lot song by him..thank you

That was THE BEST REACTION out there! I love watching people that love music like that!

I saw them in Concert, for me is the BEST band ever, the experience that I had are indescribable. Thanks for playing this original version. One their best song.

Between this and Lynard Skynyrd's Free Bird, the guitar work is masterful! I can't decide which is better. If you haven't done a reaction to Free Bird, you really should. Do a live version please!

Nice to see to the young people keeping this still alive, this kind of music is timelles, and not have not to be forgotten

I was lucky enough to see Robert Plant in concert. His singing seems to transport him to a higher plane of existence and in person he can take you right there with him. He is an amazing talent. I will never forget that night. One of my best memories of all time.

Page’s guitar work here live is phenomenal, especially the extended solo, just bravo!!

Two songs that ALWAYS get played together are Heartbreaker / Living Loving Maid. This features a TRUE guitar solo. You know, when everybody else actually STOPS playing. 😄

Dazed and Confused live in 1973 has an about 10 minute guitar solo from Jimmy Page. He uses a cello bow to play his guitar with. The video is OUTSTANDING

From the same concert, (Madison Square Gardens) the extended version of Dazed and Confused is a phenomenal tour de force. It is a true guitar journey, absolutely mind-blowing. It is long, but worth every minute.

Just reminded me how lucky I was to have the opportunity to experience this band. 3 friends, stationed at Ft Lewis in Washington State on July 17, 1977 along with about 1500 friends we just met took over a small section of Seattle. It's been 45 years, and we still talk about it to this day. Thank you Led Zeppelin!!!!

My favorite Jimmy Page solo is Since I've Been Loving You, the live version from their concert movie The Song Remains the Same. The entire soundtrack is astonishing. I was taken to all three shows of the concert in that movie, I liked Led Zeppelin but I had no idea. Amber hit it on the head when she said "mystical" and "mesmerizing." From the minute Page started playing for the next three hours I was riveted by his astonishing performance, and no other concert experience I've had since matches that one. Dazed and Confused is another standout. But watch the whole film guys, you won't be sorry.

The studio version is impeccable

Quite right, its not about Page solo's its about how Page and Bonham play around each, different beats and rhythymns that dance around each other in seperate time signatures and then synch up on critical beats ... its so special it's unreal

As a 61-year-old I have to say that the studio version was the best. A must listen.

The live version is fantastic, especially if you have been there to hear it!

"Since I've Been Loving You." I think this is my favorite Jimmy Page solo, but Plants vocals are unbelievable, and Bonhams performance on the drums is completely sublime. And then there's John Paul Jones. A lot of people miss his contribution in their compositions. I think this really shows off JPJ's complete skill as an artist of the highest order. Jimmy, Robert, and John, know they are painting on someone else's canvas, and they are only adding masterful highlights with the greatest respect for the work of art they get to add to. I'll leave a link below. Since I've Been Loving You ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1gHlbHtdVLU.html

You guys need to shine up,i cant believe you have not heard this, actually unbelievable

I read Many coments about how good is the studio version and actually it is but whenever I feel like listening this másterpiece I always go back to this live version, just for that incredible live solo that Page pulled out right there at right moment, it is perfect,

The studio version of this song is an all-time great! Almost all of the people who told you to listen to the live version first heard this song on the studio version! There is much more emotional power from the studio version!
