Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You *DayOne Reacts* 

The live is perfection...not another one of those studio nerds! Oh please, can you find your ass with both hands! Did you ever see the 73 Garden performance?

@@williamcabell142 The live version is great also. The guitar solo from the studio version is as good as it gets.

@@williamcabell142 As someone who saw "The Song Remains the Same" when it came out in the theater, and had their life utterly change from watching the intro on that version, I will say it still holds up, and that part specifically is amazing, but.. that really wasn't close to their best live performance of the song. And yes, I actually saw them back in the day, and have listened to a ton of bootlegs. The guitar solo on the studio version never was surpassed imo.

@@williamcabell142 Yes, this studio version is perfection. This is the definitive version of the song, the one they spent many hours on in the studio and the one they put on album for their fans to hear for all time. If the live versions of their songs were perfect, they wouldn't have made studio albums, and would have simply recorded their live concerts and put those on album, wouldn't they? In their live concerts they could be freer with their interpretations and improvise more, but those live versions were never better than the studio recordings, by definition.

It is perfection. It’s the perfect band in perfect synchronicity, at the right moment in time.

It fascinates me that the British Invasion was rooted in American Blues that future Rock and Rollers in America, were largely ignoring. Was it a race thing? Or maybe just where the early recordings were made (Nashville/Memphis/Motown)? Weird that we were not as blown away by the early blues legends, in the way the Brits were. At least, not on a main stream scale.

To be fair, a lot of blues guys love Zeppelin too, because so many lawsuits lead to them getting songwriting credit, and royalties. 😂🤣

Same! Love when they 👀 the performance too- and ALL of Roberts attributes- 🤭😝 Sorry, I had too- and seriously I do feel everything in, of and about this song and ICONIC band! 🤘🏼

So do I. I love John Bonham’s squeaky Ludwig Speed Kings.😊

The tales of their recording tricks were legend, and yet, they still sounded amazing live, without the tricks, or with them, or with different ones. I'm not sure if they were the original jam band, but I suspect at a minimum, they inspired the genre.

@@johngolden5257 He could play a bucket and a smaller bucket, and it would blow us away. But cool to hear your take, as a drummer, I assume. I would have never thought about that, or even been able to hear that and make the association. I'm going to add to my (rim shot) bucket list: a long conversation about drums with a drummer, to see if there is an interesting history, like there is for guitars. Like...some guitars lead to certain music...would be curious what drum things are like that.

Jimi did it in one take every time..I 😁

Your point? Who do you think has created the greater body of work - Jimi or Jimmy? Whose music do you think resonates with more people? Who do you think has had the greater impact on rock music? If you answered "Jimi," you'd be wrong.

Many great reasons to love this album. To me… the first 4 are all phenomenal. Depends on your mood. Then again…there’s always Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. That’s why they are legends.

No need to change a correct mind!

totally agreed, this album was always and still is my favorite Zep album 👍

Absolutely the best live version of any song on RU-vid!

😎👍

Listen to live version

What a reaction keep it up

💯

^THIS^ If you want a band from this era that sounds like their records live, check out Rush; even YES does a pretty good job and that's a damn hard thing to do, as complex as their music is. But for sheer studio brilliance, I don't think anyone touches Zep. YES probably comes the closest; they had to bring their recording engineer on the road with them because there were no live sound engineers who had the first clue as to how to make that happen on a live stage. And according to a documentary I saw on the band Queen, YES was the first band to mic every voice, instrument, drum, etc. the way it's commonly done today. (The guys in Queen said they were massively inspired by seeing that.) It's a shame that Zep couldn't have brought a couple of guitarists on tour with them but then, anyone good enough to be able to play with them probably wouldn't want to play second fiddle to anyone else, even the great Jimmy Page.

I think they are equally impressive in studio and live. But I appreciate that their live show was organic and improvisational, not just a subpar performance of the album, as is often the case.

The engineer said that Page did this solo in one take. He was feeling it that session for sure.

I think the old saying was about Clapton, or maybe Hendrix, or maybe Clapton talking about Hendrix, but it comes to mind: Jimmy makes people who don't play guitar want to start, and those who do, want to quit.

I agree. But I also like "Out on the Tiles" a lot as well.

Tangerine, Bron-yr-Aur Stomp, That's The Way.

@@boki1693 Out On The Tiles is a great and sadly overlooked tune from Zep. You can listen to the odd angles of the guitar rhythm riffs and almost hear the weirdness that would become Black Dog on their next record.

Oh hell yeah! Tea for one is def one of Leds under rated, overlooked songs.
