Going out on a limb here, but I do believe that was Robert Plant's greatest vocal performance on a studio album. After all these years, it still gives me chills.
I love Zeppelin but this particular song is unreal. you'd think after a zillion listens it would get somewhat old but nope. I take turns focusing on what each guy is doing and blown away by all of them. what a band
@@AirplayBeatsback in the day we used to get some of that good sticky icky and zone out to Zep. It was like you could picture each one of them in your head as the music plays. It’s hard to say they were greater than the sum of their parts because they’re all so incredible as individual musicians. But when the four of them came together, something else happened, something in the universe that you can’t really describe or put into words. Pure magic.
This is the blues cranked way up. They were the best band, in my opinion. Robert Plant, lead vocals wrote the lyrics, and harmonica, John Paul Jones, bass and keyboards, arranged a lot of the music, John Bonham “Bonzo”, drums, best ever, and Jimmy Page, lead guitar,and creator of the band, wrote the music, and producer. I would suggest you react to “You Shook Me” from their first album. Straight blues.
Drummer, John Bonham, plays with the most complicated time signatures. Any other band would fall into complete chaos. Each member is soooo talented. The GOATS!!!
Ummm no, Zeppelin had one song, Black Dog that was in 5/4 time, all other songs were 4/4 for the most part. I've seen some great Zeppelin cover bands that play every detail and nuance from my favorite band.. but I don't see anybody able to copy Tool the same way. Tool has such complex songs, they're not in the same conversation as Zeppelin ... Tool has already established an entirely new level.. but they all stand on the shoulders of the giants, just how it works, it's a progression
@@chrisw3421 I believe "Fool in the Rain" and "Kashmir," among others, have different counter-rhythmic time signatures between the drums and guitar/keyboards.
Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant is the singer Jimmy Page is the guitarist John Bonham is the drummer John Paul Jones is the bassist and keyboards. They played blues, rock, folk, Hard Rock, reggae, and hippie mysticism. Try their songs, Kashmir Dazed and Confused The Lemon song How many more times Tea for one You shook me In my time of dying This is just a few to get you started, there's much much more.
If no one said, Jimmy Page, the guitarists, also was the engineer in the studio for most if not all their albums. And he did the remasterings. Alas, they broke up in 1980 when the drummer drank 40 shots of vodka, threw up, and sofficated on his vomit. The rest are still alive. You should defintly check this song out from Madison Square Garden in 1973 live. They bring a whole new deminsion to their songs live.
Led Zeppelin was considered hard rock/heavy blues but they played a variety of styles. Guitarist Jimmy Page did that solo in one take. You mentioned James Brown, they did a playful take on James' style with a song called "The Crunge". Most people hate it but I think it's fun and they weren't making fun of James Brown, they were just being silly and having a good time in the studio that day. If you want to stick to a more serious style, try some funk with their song "Trampled Under Foot". Another blues song that I personally consider better than this is "Tea For One". It is the most heart-wrenching, hard, blues song. It hardly ever gets reacted to so I hope you consider it. Also, if you select any of these, please listen to the studio first - as you heard here - the production is second to none.
I got to give it to you, Julie, Led Zeppelin IS the best rock band ever for the pure quality and ultimate skill, no one else sounds quite as good as them. Plus you can argue all of them are the best at what they do. Pink Floyd for me, is the other side of that coin. Rock On! 🎸
You start going down this rabbit hole and we're going to be here for a long time because they have so many good albums and l'm going to be here with you because they are my favorite of all time🤟😍 "Led Head" for life!!!
John Bonham was a once in a lifetime talent that passed way too soon. I grew up in the Caribbean in the sixties and seventies. Many of my friends went to school in England and they would bring these bands like zeppelin and Floyd back on home. These British bands were deeply influenced by the blues players like Muddy Waters and Leadbelly from the American south. Pink Floyd actually took their name from two black musicians from the Deep South. What an amazing musical journey to enjoy.
Speaking of James Brown, huge influence on this band, especially the drummer John Bonham. No, Bonham died in 1980. They disbanded then, with occasional reunions since. The best being with Bonham's son Jason for their 2007 concert. You guys need to increase the size of your screen so we can see you!
Usually when they ranked the greatest bands ever it is usually The Beatles or Led Zeppelin ranked either one or two in that order or reversed...the GOATs...no they stopped touring when the drummer died, but they had a one time reunion in 2007 and they had 20 million tickets requests in the first hour, Jimmy Page the guitarist produced all of Led Zeppelin albums...just subscribed. Listen to the studio version of Stairway to Heaven brother
Led Zeppelin is comprised of, lead singer Robert Plant guitarist and engineer of all songs Jimmy Page. Drummer is John Bonham and keyboardist and basest is John Paul Jones. Try their songs, Dazed and Confused You shook me The Lemon song How many more times In my time of dying These are a few of my favorite bluesy songs by them. Must hear!
Dang--wish y'all had made your faces bigger, i've seen that album cover a million times but not your mugs jamming to it, lol! great reaction to this bloozy-ass masterpiece! Seein 'em do it live is mind-blowing. Damn, dude on the right, you "get it" and are GETTING IT, lol, like ON, haha! So cool to see peeps enjoy their first sips of this band! Makes u wanna GULP it all down!
Although Led Zeppelin was a rock band, the best ever, they drew heavily from blues, especially early in their career, although they also incorporated other genres into their music (soul, funk, folk, rockabilly, etc.). They were certainly no "one trick pony". If you want to hear more of their blues tunes, I suggest that you go back to albums 1 and 2. A few from album 1 (recorded in 1968, dropped in 1969) include You Shook Me, I Can't Quit You Baby and How Many More Times. A few from album 2 (recorded and dropped in 1969) include Whole Lotta Love, The Lemon Song, Bring it on Home. Both albums 1 and 2 were recorded when the guys' ages ranged from just 19-24. Quite amazing, obviously very gifted guys and remember, no auto tune back then. What's cool about listening to studio versions is hearing the magic of Jimmy Page (guitarist) as producer. Enjoyed your reaction and looking forward to hearing more. Thanks.
Led Zep quit as a group in 1980 after the drummer, John Bonham, died. Except for a few re-union shows, they've pretty much gone their separate ways. They were the very definition of Rock Stars in 70s. Next rec: "Good Times, Bad Times". Their first song on the first side of their first album. Hit the world like a punch in the face in 1968. Best song off that album IMO is "Dazed and Confused", another blues rock banger.
There’s no such thing as a bad Led Zeppelin song. 90% plus are phenomenal and a few may not be great or even good, but none are bad. There’s a rabbit hole for you to jump down! Greatest band ever? Probably. Them or The Beatles (the only other band IMHO that has no bad songs).
Dude on the left ( La? ) is like wtf am I listening too, dude on the right ( Che? ) is just steady losing his shit and I’m like yeah, that’s how I still (both) feel lol. Enjoyed that reaction very much. Thanks !
Bonzo died in Sept 1980. At Jimmy Page's house. He'd been drinking heavily all day. They were rehearsing for their upcoming tour. He hated touring. Anyway, they put him to bed and found him dead in the morning. JPJ found him. That moment was the end of LZ and they all knew it. They reunited for a one-time only in 2007 in London. There were 20 million requests for tickets for 20,000 seats. Check it out. Bonzo's son Jason is playing his dad's drums. Gotta see it!
I loved watching your reactions, they have been my favorite band for 40 years now. When John Bonham the drummer passed away 1980 the band dismantled, they could not continue they were that close and tight. They did do a couple of reunions but that was it. Stairway to Heaven may possibly be the most famous song in the world, one to check out as well. You got to hear this song live it's even better that studio and you get to see what they are about. Madison Square Garden 1973, hope to hear it!
I'm new to your channel but I'm really digging your reactions. Always great to see newer generations appreciating great and different music than they are used to. You guys seem to get it when it comes to good music.
You guys are gifted with musical knowledge, being fair and honest in your assessments, - and funny! I just recently found your site and now a fan as well. Led Zep is a real treat and obviously one of the all-time greatest. I know you've done many reviews of LZ albums since this review, so I know you really appreciate them. "Since I've Been Loving You", is one of many, of their great tunes and certainly a favorite of mine. LZ was officially my first live concert in Aug '69, upstate NY, a week after Woodstock. I had just turned 17. I think it may have been on their first tour of the US. They were young & new, and made a huge impression with their debut album - which is still my favorite album by them, regardless the wonderful work they've done afterward. Hard to really dislike anything they've done musically. Thank you Airplay Beats.
This is a blues song with twist...all Zepp members showed how the forcefull chemestry exploded to unpredictable directions to create musical beauty that survived the times. Despite of extraordinary talents and skills, I'd say Zepp's music is an expression of their intimate friendships relation among them with various approaches and influences from blues to world musics to create their own musical journeys. Go check Kashmir O2 Arena Live 2007. The magic was still there.
LED ZEP .IS A BLUES ROCK BAND ( BRITISH BLUES INVASION , TIME PERIOD )... Influenced heavily by the Black Artist & Entertainers of that time .. Motown Dominated !... The thing is this song and Robert Plants vocals project Soul (deep inner reflections) conveyed through the Blues... Every so rare often someone or some musical group commeth along that one can only define as : SPECIAL 👀💫🌞👍... LED was around from 69-81, only 12 years and OMG look at the quality and body of work..OUTSTANDING ! Every album is timeless pleasure - no filler bull shit - Just the good shit 🍀THANK YOU ZEP 👍
Great reaction!! As if his legendary guitar playing and writing wasn’t enough, Jimmy Page produced the band and forever changed the way rock music was mixed. He brought the drums out in the mix to create their thunderous sound. Pure genius.
Yes, always check out the studio versions first. Keep em coming. About to check out the other LZ reaction yall did. -"Rock and Roll" -"I Cant Quit You Baby" -"Stairway To Heaven" -"Babe Im Gonna Leave You" -"All My Love" -"Ramble On" Just to name a few for future reactions 👍
Check out their song called Tea For One from the Presence album, my particular favorite Zeppelin Blues. And secondly check out their song I'm Gonna Crawl from their album In Through The Out Door, their last studio album.
Tea for one doesn't get much love, but it should it's that damn good. When I first started on the guitar, I did a mixed tape of since I've been loving you, Tea for one, and I'm gonna crawl, the solos all in one. they do fit perfectly together.
The concept towards which you are struggling is Blues Rock... decibelising and rockifying Blues to another level. And itself birthing Funk Rock, Hard Rock and Prog Rock. Maybe psychedelic rock too. Greetings from Canada. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
I remember first hearing this a long time ago when I bought the vinyl. I was totally in awe of this band at the time, and still am. Never been bettered. I'm 69 and listen to Led most days . This track is probably my favourite, although there are so many brilliant tracks on their albums it's a tough choice. Love your reaction by the way, now you know how us old 'uns felt when we first heard it.
7am to 11pm is a double shift or a back to back. He's always working so he's losing his worried mind about what she's doing while he's working all those hours.
I was 13 when my family moved to a new place. My Father gave me his record collection and his stereo with record player to keep in my room. At night i would find a record and listen to it through head phones after lights out. This was the first Zep album i ever heard. I chose it because of the crazy record sleeve. It was a kaleidoscope wheel that showed all kinds of different pics of the band. This song changed my world. REAL ROCK MUSIC. All my friends were deep in the glam rock trend. It was the eighties. Zeppelin saved me from that terrible music. I never get tired of this song. For all the greatness that is LZ, this song for me is the top of the mountain. No song compares. or even comes close to this level of perfection. I love when others find enjoyment in this sonic experience.
Yessir it’s blues....and it’s rock. But what is rock n roll but a mixture of blues, country, swing, folk....rock n roll is a stew. Back in the day much of the rock music that came out was based on a foundation of blues. In the 60s there was a huge blues scene in england and it helped spawn the ‘british Invasion’. The best thing about it though was by the late 60s this music was introduced to young white audiences in America and these kids ate it up. Promoters like Bill Graham started putting together concerts that included these young bands as well as some of the original blues artists who by then didn’t have much of an audience...it gave these artists a whole new audience...whole new life. Wish I could have been there. People will knock on hippies a lot...say what they will, but these kids took their music VERY seriously
Children, you have been deprived but look! Now you get the joy of discovery. And thank you for your reactions. I'm so happy for you! AND Robert Plant has a podcast Dig Deeper. And watch the film Song Remains the Same
C minor - F minor - G minor. The turnaround moves to E flat, walk down back to C minor, while Pagey's using Major 6th intervals. Just brilliant! BTW, recorded in one take live in the studio.
My favorite song by them ..whoever said to listen to studio version gave good advice...everytime I think I've seen your best reaction you manage to top it with a better one! Love you guys💞✌️
The MSG live version of this song from the Song remains the same dvd is one of the best live performances ever highly rec you guys check it out if you haven’t already rock on!
