Led Zeppelin - Black Dog | REACTION 

A lot will argue that this is their best song but with Led Zeppelin you can argue that 90% of their library can be their best song.

After listening to Led Zeppelin’s catalogue and other influential bands of the 70s, you start questioning what happened to music in the decades that followed.

Songs like this one drove my parents nuts!

Greatest band this planet has ever seen!! Watch their live performances!! Killer...trust me!!

To many the greatest rock band ever. And arguably their greatest song ever.

It's pretty cool seeing people from this era appreciating the music from my era. Zeppelin was always #1

IMMIGRANT SONG and for a good taste of Bonham...WHOLE LOTTA LOVE

This tone is just pure nastiness, Pages captures the feel of the primal essence being expressed through his playing.

Everything the mighty Zeppelin did was the best 👌

Greatest band that ever did it. No one comes close

They are the GOATS...PERIOD! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Dude it’s the Drummer🤨 They are the blues on acid! Gosh they cover all kinds of genres!

My teenage bedroom, 1972, nothing compares.

All band members understood the importance of no sound to punctuate the music. Really powerful in this song but really skillfully used in a lot of their songs

Since I've been loving you ....live or studio version!

Been a led zeppelin fan Since I was aged 15 I am now nearly 67 years old and still a fan

Best drummer in the world 🌍

Saw them live in Munich Germany three months before Bonham died. There biggest hit was Stairway to Heaven. But if you want to see their versatility, try D’yer Maker.

GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY !!!

This song played on the jukebox 30 times a night in the local bar we hung out in our youth! Lol so good but need to be played really loud! 😆

Babe I’m gonna leave you by Led Zeppelin 🙌🏼

Led Zeppelin, immigrant song !!! And since I’ve been loving you !!!👍👍👍👍👍aaaaand „whole lotta love“ you MUST MUST MUST REACT !

Anyone who doesn't like Led Zeppelin has no soul...Robert Plant has an extensive solo career and yes he still goes on tour singing both Led Zeppelin and his own solo songs.

My all time favorite band!

These stops during the riffs for the singer, it's pure Blues. Led has a lot of Blues influence. Jimmy brought this from the Yardbirds and he along with Bonzo were experts in mixing the Blues with a heavier grip.

In 1975 when Physical Graffiti (personal all-time favorite album by anyone) was released, that one as well as their previous 5 albums were ranked on the Billboard Top 20 list at the same time..

The mighty Zeppelin

My first concert, 1977, Chicago stadium. A night well remembered. Jimmy Page playing a double neck with a bow during Dazed and Confused is a memory etched in my mind. I also focused on John Bonham who was beating the hell out of his drums. A night surely remembered and grateful I was able to see them. Unfortunately wasn't able to see them again. They had a s date set to play in Chicago and the only way to get tickets was through a local newspaper. You send a entry form and if your name was pulled you could get 4 tickets. I remember I was walking out the door to buy newspaper and send the form in when my phone rang. It was my buddy. I remember saying dude I gotta go . Bonham died he said. That was it. Zeppelin was done. I know a guy who had tickets sent to him for that concert. He kept them and has them in a frame.

Classic Iconic Zeppelin! Path makers

how many times more is their best song ever...so much creativity

Kashmir is a must, probably my favorite Zeppelin song

Going to California is so different, but my fav

My favorite band of all!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The timing! Agh,how does it work? It does,don't know how,genius.

I'm 61 years old and the first time I ever heard that song I was in elementary school

Have always loved led zep,oh my the amount of parties I went to in the 70s listening to these. Memories I dare not mention. Love your reactions & all youngsters .Great music

In My Time of Dying

Fun to listen to, hard to play with those awesome off time drums.

You have to listen to Since I’ve been loving you live at Madison Square Garden 1973

Ahhhhhh, the sound of my teenage-dom. Glad you like it.

Simply The Best !!!

Another song that played on our high school juke box everyday. Jimmy Page is (at least)one of the top 3 guitarists of all time. What he did in the 70's was way ahead of it's time...

Thank you listening and sharing your reaction video! I am so familiar with this album as it was a big part of my growing up. I look forward now to hearing “Rock & Roll” … which is the song on the album that follows “Black Dog”. Also just learned about the black dog that wandered the studio! Thank you for that! Rock on!

So much fun seeing youngin's enjoying this era of music.

Plus recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors.

ah, you gotta watch Led live!

Jimmy Paige, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck all were in the Yardbirds.

Black Dog is some Zeppelin fans' favourite song ... period. I'm from the Toronto area and a number of years back the popular Toronto FM station Q107 held its annual Top 1007 songs of all time and in one of those years Black Dog was named the best song EVER. It is a complete amazing rocker all the way through. I think it's the best example of Plant's singing, Page's riffing and Bonham's playing. I've never thought of Bonzo's drumming being crisp more like elegantly brutal. Perhaps Page's most iconic guitar sounds/effects out of dozens - and that would be saying something.

They do HARD rock, folk, electric blues and some phychedelic rock.

You need to see Black Dog live at Mad Sq Garden in 1973 and every other song that night!!

You should watch the live version from the Madison Square Garden concert in 1973. Too cool.

Led Zeppelin is still touring in Europe with a new members of the band.....still sounds the same in the 60's and 70's.....Very very good!!! Robert Plant voice is sounding better than he had in the 60's. It's richer. Kashmir one of their famous songs is performed Live in 2007. It's on You Tube.....react to it!!!! Let's see what you think.

MORE LED ZEPPELIN!!!!!

RP is still making music... he doesn't like to do too many of the old songs often. His new band is The Sensational Space Shifters but he had just brought out another album with Alison Kraus. He's a regular at our local pub as he lives close by.... amazing stories he tells, believe me. You should check out 'Kashmir' from their O2 show in London in '07. All in their 60s and still totally kill it. Wow! Fun fact.. so many people wanted a ticket to this reunion that they had to hold a lottery for the 16,000 tickets available... 20 million plus people applied, including me!

Robert Plant in this time is singing whth Allison Craus ( very beautiful singer, blues grass singer) He had two albums with her, and before with Patti Griffin ( country folck?) After Zeppelin he was in a Honey Drippers ( like a rockabilly) Was in solitaire a lot of years, some beautifuls songs, but he don't regreat to sing like in Zeppelin. Is good to. Always Robert Plant is good

Best band ever

Good reaction guys. Saw Led Zepplin twice in concert back in the 70,s. Think I was 18 & 19. There is nothing close to a Led Zepplin live show. No elaborate stage, no dancers, and no autotune .... lights come on, with just the band and their instruments. Performing hit after hit. Rock at its best. New sub here.

My favorite song by Led Zepplin is Kasmir "The Live at Celebration Day Concert" is the best version of it. It was performed by Zepplin 30yrs later in their 60's & they will still blow your mind how great they sound & John's son Jason Bonham on the drums is truly inspiring. I hope you see that version of Kashmir before any of the others. Actually the whole Celebration Concert is a must see for sure! You guys ROCK! PS loved watching you enjoy TRIUMPH'S songs too. You Definitely know GREAT Music when you hear it.

Great reaction guys ,didn't expect less.........The Best rock band EVER !

No no no...you guys got so much to learn, all musicians are playing at different time signatures ... this and every song is masterly produced! Best band ever man!

One of my favorites

Dig in, boys. Rock was dead by the time they burst onto the scene. Pop, Disco. Nothing until the 70s, which they dominated. After Bonham died, it was over. He's always in the top 10, usually #1. The most unusual time signatures, and heavy sticks. An eargasm. Blues, funk, Soul, bluegrass and rock. Never be another.

When I was introduced to Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with this song. My brother is 9 yrs older than me. He graduated high school and went to welding school out of state. I'd sneak into his room and play his 8 track player. Led Zep IV was one of them and Black Dog was my absolute favorite (even better than Stairway)! To this day, when I hear this song, I have to crank it!!

This guitar riff may be the most driving factor in me learning to play guitar

Thanks for the Led Zeppelin ❤

This was my High School Teams song before we walked out to play every home game.....We would crank this so loud.. 1977-81

Watch Zeppelin when you can live....their live performances were legendary ...often three hours long with many songs extended into 20 minutes or more of sheer breathtaking improvisation. Never played a song in exactly the same way twice Their charisma and connection on stage is also legendary and that’s what you should look for. I don’t know if you ever repeat a song on your channel but Black Dog live from 1973 Madison Square Garden is great. Anything from that MSG 1973 show is iconic I would suggest Whole Lotta Love. Most people will suggest Stairway to Heaven but I don’t think that’s your guys vibe if you three line blues, then Since I’ve Been Loving You MSG 1973 is also iconic with fantastic solo from Jimmy and a charismatic performance from Plant. Hope you enjoy delving deeper into this GOAT band.

Hey fellas..."Since I've Been Loving You" off the 3rd album is a must.

one of my favorite led zeppelin albums is "presence". check out "achilles last stand" from that one.

Since I’ve Been Loving You live from MSG. Stellar performances by all

This is a “call and response” song. Very common in blues.

Next time guys dont forget Mr John Paul Jones bas guitar , he is the engine in this song there everyone is amazing and John puching them forwards.

No bad ones for these guys….Try “ Whole Lotta Love”….

Best band by a long shot imo.

Black dog is also a euphemism for depression. Winston Churchill used the term.

Every track on this fourth album is gold!

Album was also known as "The Hermit" back then in my high school days.

Everything they wrote and sang was great. They are the goat

Led Zepp music and 714's got me in LOTS of trouble in the old days! But I'm still HERE!! Thanks Guys! ❤‍🔥What a time....

Kashmir next guys!

Please check out Led Zepplin, Hey Hey What can i Do.... Note only came out on a 45 rpm B side. was never on a lp. a classic

The entire album is phenomenal, Definitely check it out. You should also check out: Over The Hills and Far Away, The Lemon Song, No Quarter, Since I've Been Loving You, Dancing Days. All stellar Zeppelin tunes.

If they'd only made their first album they still would've been highly regarded but when LZ4 came out it just cemented their legendary musical genius. 12 men walked on the moon, but there were only 4 dudes in Led Zeppelin. the Mighty Zep. Never to be equaled.

Good ear Ryan, Jimmy Page plugged direct into the console for the outro solo bypassing the mic/speaker setup!

Robert Plant has had a 40 year solo career...hugely successful in the 80’s. He has always surrounded himself with top musicians throughout his career He is a songwriter of course, so he has his own catalogue as well as Zeppelin songs. Throughout his career, he has changed his band many times, always going for new sounds and fresh creativity He and Page reunited for several hugely successful tours 1994-1999 or so where they reimagined allot of Zeppelin songs with an Egyptian orchestra ....Page and Planr especially were influenced by the music of Morocco and North Africa Plant has had 11 solo albums and several collaborative albums ...one with Alison Krauss which won five Grammies in 2008 I believe. Plants last album came out in 2017. He is doing several concerts in England in June at various festivals with his current lineup called Saving Grace

Not even a question. Y'all have got to get into "Kashmir."

This Led Zep song still blows me away after listening to it, on a off for 40 years now!! "Led Zeppelin IV," from, which this song is off. Is a great album, too!!

There is led zeppelin and know one else

Best band ever - in the words of Jack Black 🙏🏼

At some point you need to do something live. Cause live they take it to a whole nother level. I am partial to just about any song from the 1973 concert from Madison Square Garden. The Song Remains the same. Page engineered most of the songs and he was known for doing all sorts of things to the songs in the studio.

Guys, really enjoy your reactions. A bit of a side note concerning Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog involves the time signature of the track. During the guitar riff, the band in playing in 9/8 time while John Bonham is keeping the beat in standard 4/4 time. It is not easy to play in one beat and listen to others playing in another - amazing!

More Zeppelin please. Check out some videos from their 1973 concert at MSG. Amazing concert. Stairway, Whole Lotta Love, Dazed and Confused(29 minutes) Since I've been loving you, Rock and Roll, No Quarter, Black Dog.

Love watching first timers trying to rock along with the beat. Very quickly they stop and start in confusion.

imo their best album

The Yardsbirds had Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck as members. Jimmy was the base player then.

Introducing your friends to greatest damn band that’s ever grace this earth, you’re doing God’s work my friend. Well done.

Subbed for more zeppelin reactions....definitely need to do some live. Their reputation was built on their live performances...

please react to led zepplin live at msg

You gotta react to “since I’ve been loving you” but the MSG live version it is one of the best experiences you will ever have

The odd time signatures made it one of the more difficult tracks for Zep to record.

Lets rock our faces off.
