Remember Jimmy talking about finding Robert singing a gig and thinking: what's wrong with this kid? He's SO good, he's gotta have some kind of problem, because theres no way I'm the first one discovering him.
My favorite Robert Plant vocals are when he sings in his natural register (which is rangy...but you know what I mean). So many people dig the high highs, but I think his natural tone and register are pure and gorgeous.
Getting the Led out again this morning, awesome! Growing up, my local rock station had a DJ who loved this song and in my summers as a lifeguard I would hear it every day. Hearing it now takes me right back to sunshine, youth and summertime romances. Peace and love, you guys - keep on grooving ☮
Truth be told...as much greatness as you've heard from them so far..you haven't even gotten to their best yet. There are many many more to go. When the Levee Breaks..The Rain Song..Kashmir..Tea For One..Ten Years Gone..Fool in the Rain...South Bound Suarez..Going to Califonia..No Quarter..the list goes on and on and on.
The groove on this track is so tasty. Can't wait for you guys to start Zeppelin IV. It's an absolute, stone-cold killer album, from beginning to its epic closing track, 'When The Levee Breaks.' The drum beat on that track is hands down, a monster that has fully earned its reputation as the drum beat of the gods.
Awesome song! Zeppelin’s “throw aways” would be any other bands gold. I think it would’ve fit fine on this album. Still, when I first heard this song on Zeppelin’s box set from around 1990, it was like Zeppelin had just released a new song a decade after they broke up. Definitely an under appreciated gem.
What a great song!!! Led Zeppelin released very few singles I think only a handful throughout their career and this is one of them.. I think it really is a greatly underrated song. Another is called Traveling Riverside Blues. It's cock rock at its best!!; I'm strapped in and ready to get the LED out with the brothers today!!! You guys are on a roll!!!! Love your channel guys keep up the good work!!!
@@anitapaulus937 there is nothing worse than a pretty chick who likes to fight but on the other hand, there was nothing cooler than a pretty chick who likes Led Zeppelin!!! Especially Traveling Riverside Blues!!!!
Traveling Riverside Blues is something like a cross of The Lemon Song and a bluesy, funky, swampy, break out the air guitar kinda song. You have to do it next!
This was the golden unicorn song in the 70s and 80s because the single was rare and the only way to hear this song for most people was on the radio so you always stopped what you were doing and jammed out to it.
The other truly notable B-Side single release by Led Zeppelin is "Traveling Riverside Blues" a Robert Johnson cover. Both songs are very worthy of LZ and should have been on one of their albums.
Τhe thing that is facts about this group is that Plant's voice is mesmerizing, once you here it you know right away it's Led Zeppelin. And then you have Page who also has a signature style and of course Bonham. The thing with this group is that they have such a variety in their repertoire, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Rock and Roll, Southern Rock, Country. I can't think of a song from them I didn't like. If you open the dictionary to Rock Stars....you would see their picture there. Can you imagine watching them live? What a thrill that must've been!!
Saw Zeppelin live a few times back in the day. The last tickets I had were for the 77 tour. They had just pulled in to New Orleans for a couple of days where the next show was, when Robert got the call his son had passed from an unknown virus. That was it, Bonham passed in 80 and it was over. I did however catch Roberts’ tours in support of his solo work which were phenomenal. Checkout his first two out of the gate, Pictures At Eleven, Principle Of Moments and a later one called Fate Of Nation’s. All great stuff, Regards
All time favorite Zep song, and its a B side! Whats crazy is you'd see Plant in interviews back then smoking butts, and he could yell like this! Brutal!
That first 1 min 50 sec of them just grooving was me yesterday on a long drive when I first discovered this song. I’ve loved Zeppelin for years and thought I’d heard them all - I put their greatest hits on Spotify and just let them play in order. Discovered this one, Darlene and I Can’t Quit You Baby. So rare for me to experience this feeling again and find good “new” old songs. Love it ❤️
One of my LZ faves. That was a mandolin. I find that my favorite LZ (and Heart) tunes are the ones where that awesome instrument was used. It's used in most bluegrass music too. Ricky Skaggs can set one on fire 🔥
I first heard this on their first box set, the one with four cd's. Blew me away then, blows me away now. I always associate it with "Travelling' Riverside Blues", which is another absolute _banger_ of a Zepplin song.
On to 4!! The Perfect Album. Not my personal favorite but it is Rock and Roll Perfection. When the Levee breaks is best song to ever end an album.✌️✌️✌️
"Hey, Hey..." was on an album called "Ages of Atlantic" which was a "sampler" album of different Atlantic Records artists. YES and Aretha Franklin also had a song on the record.
I was fortunate in my youth, that the FM stations I listened to played this song far more than The Immigrant Song. This is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs, although, I could never name one as favorite. I go in cycles, sometimes it’s album VI, sometimes it’s Presence, sometimes it’s Physical Graffiti.
"Gonna Leave Her Where The Guitar's Play." The old Jukebox in my little prairie town Cafe had this 45 on it, must have been the summer of '71. Three plays for a quarter, Immigrant Song had the young cats movin, but but push C11 and side B would drop. The old dudes who hated long haired hippies and their music, would almost imperceptibly start to nod like only because their caffeine found an outlet. Then the line, "I got a women stay drunk all the time.." would hit and the whole place, from the guys on the pinball machines, to the table of little old ladies having their tea, would raise their heads to meet the wave and down into the groove they went. I remember one time, when a couple of guys from the local Indian Reservation walked in on one these moments, the look on their faces seeing a bunch of usually stiff white folk pulling the oars in time, well they just waved at the white boys they knew and grooved their way to a booth.
Back in the day, if you wanted your own copy of this, you had to tape it off of the radio. It was an unreleased single for the LONGEST time, but it was the Zeppelin song I was most "into" at the time.
I was just going to ask you guys if you knew about this one, then I looked over and it was in the suggestions for further listening. One of my absolute favorites! Perfect performance!
When I was a young teenager in the early 70's I could only afford 45s. They were only a dollar. I'd return soda bottles to the store for a nickel each until I had enough to go to the record store. Whenever I bought one the first thing I'd do is play the flip side. It was a song I had never heard and I was dying to hear it. I'd stack 45s up on my little single speaker mono record player and jam out with my friends. It was the original playlist.
This one was, and remains, an anomaly. Even now, there seems to be fewer listens than your other LZ reactions. But it’s damn fine. Glad to hear that you’ll be moving on to #4 (Runes), which I and many others think marks a truer return to form. I’ll be here for every track.
Always loved this song! JPJ on the mandolin, if I remember correctly. Bonham makes this song at the end, relentless. Thanks, like your honest reactions!
This has always been a well worn radio favorite forever. That’s a mandolin weaving around Jimmy’s acoustic guitar. Firing on all cylinders with this one. 🤘😎
The song was recorded in A but they slowed it down in the studio and dropped the music down to slightly lower than A flat but not quite to G then plant sang it again over the new key. You can hear it in the symbols, the way they kinda splash a little longer. Kinda like dropping the speed on a record making it sound deeper.
Great reaction again, guys ! You missed the ending - ending - there was a dissonant chord at the end. The higher pitched stringed instrument you heard was a mandolin (it has four courses of two strings - each two strings are very close to one another and John Paul Jones was playing it). Pagey played the acoustic guitars. You could heard Robert singing about this woman "wanting to ball all day" --- "she balls around all the time" -- the meaning of balling has changed over the decades -- "balling" meant back then doing the "freak nasty" - "knocking boots" - LOL. Songs are not always left off of albums bc the song "weren't good enough." Many people say that, but it's not true. Only 22 mins and some seconds can fit on one side of a record. Example: If you have two songs which are 2 and half mins long and you have a song which is five minutes and 20 seconds long - you have to choose between including that song which over five mins long --- and then eliminate two -- two and half minute songs. So, it's a time constraint thing. There is one more prominent more song from the Led Zeppelin III sessions which didn't make the album. It's called "Poor Tom" --- please look it up and do a reaction for it. Hey, Hey What Can I Do --- was eventually released on a "greatest hits" album ---- as was "Poor Tom" ---- Poor Tom is part of the Led Zeppelin III sessions. Please do a reaction to Poor Tom. Please. 🙂 You guys still seem like two chill intellectuals to me. I look forward to these reactions. ❤️🎵🎶🎸🎤
I never understood how this was on a B side. This is easily a top 5 Zep track for me. Would have elevated Zep III to top tier status for me. Solid album but doesn't hold a candle to I,II or IV.
I used to go around to all the record stores and buy all the 45's they had of this and then sell them to my fellow Zep Heads for a significant profit! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN
Best band ever best band ever and ever will be they are the definition of rock and roll. They are the best in every department led zeppelin masters of rock and roll
When I was in 8th grade, (1978), I was at the record store like I was every week. Led Zeppelin was my favorite group. I decided to look through the imports and saw this 45 in a Japanese cover. So I bought it. It was in a box for over 30 years and I forgot about it. The record and it's Japanese cover are now framed and hanging on my Led Zeppelin wall in my man-cave.
You would never hear a song like this on AM radio. Back in the day FM DJ's would play the flip side or maybe a whole side of an album or even a whole album at midnight. When you're a broke kid the record the new stuff on cassette. Get the Led out, it's two for Tuesday and The Fab Four at 4 this Rocktober!
She was a prolific song writer in the 60’s, 70’s, and into the 80’s. She wrote songs for the drifters (up on the roof), James Taylor, The Shrells, and many more.
Back in the day. That song was available on a jukebox. So in the bars. It was a goto with the dimes. Because it wasn't available on an lp for years I believe. You never heard it anywhere BUT on a jukebox
