@Atheos B. Sapien yes, voted on by the same white guys who study music for a living , & who study all the great influential acts; not by just some random fangirls
I saw someone comment about Led Zeppelin & I totally agreed with them: In 200 years Led Zeppelin will be revered as Bach, Mozart & Beethovan are today.
@@mstewart109 Well, they are legends today. I just think they will still be considered masters in 200 years & still played. I can't see other bands withstanding the test of time like Led Zeppelin.
Yes!! Good Times Bad Times ! Like it was yesterday ! Bought it at a import records shop, opened it and played it immediately ... Sat with the owner and listened to the whole LP then saw them first US live at Flushing Meadows Buddy Guy opened for them !
Oh. This reminded of what it was like to first hear this. And how it changed my perspective on so many things and in so many ways. My favorite song by these dudes.
I love the way you instantly pick up on the change of beats/rhythm. That's what made led Zeppelin so great! Jon Bonham is one of the greatest drummers to live on planet earth
@@scott12xu heyo, killdozer! wisconsin native here and i would like to mention killdozer is sorely underrated despite being somewhat known in the 90s among their noise rock and later, grunge contemporaries (billy corgan and kurt cobain both enjoyed 12PB, and found butch vig thru his production of the record). great to stumble upon someone who knows em.
Millennials know how to get the Led out, dude. Stop confusing Gen Z with Millenials. Millenials all went thru a classic rock phrase in middle school from our parents’ influence.
What exactly is it, though? It's not a hard drum part, any competent drummer could play it. But none could sound like Bonzo. Something about tone, feel, "grease" or "frudge" (his own word), but each drum hit is somehow special.
@@billholder1330 Exactly right, if you were to note down the drum pattern it would be pretty rudimentary for a competent drummer, drumming is all about feel.
Listening to When the Levee Breaks never gets old. On one level, it's got the most addictive groove. On another level, it's a mantra. It's hypnotic. It's almost transcendental. It's perfect.
@@giuliogrifi7739 True, but also a historically accurate oral history of the 1927 Mississippi River floods. The freakin' Mississippi flowed BACKWARDS that day!! :eek:
- I know Robert played harmonica and was good but I've heard that it wasn't him playing on this track. I don't remember who it was. Google could provide an answer.
Absolutely. In their top 3 ever recorded. Amazing song. Brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. PG is just such an amazing album. The Rover, Sick Again, Custard Pie, IMTOD. Amazing.
@@TheGuitarMonk the instrumtal studio rehearsal of Kashmir is my fav but have all the rehearsals of in the light. It was called "in the morning" and is awesome!!!
""" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
I love seeing young Black Americans really feeling Led Zeppelin’s interpretations of these blues songs- it’s as if those Delta Blues muses found a way to reach across the decades to their cultural descendants through the band.
I agree Bill!!! Zeppelin even admits drawing their inspiration from delta blues! Robert Johnson was unique and his artistry was so short lived I'm a Leadbelly fan myself!
@Huck Finn Exactly right. If you were to ask them, I’m sure they’d admit it, but like you said, it totally goes without saying. Even my guy, Tony Iommi, who arguably single-handedly sparked the entire genre of heavy metal, was largely influenced by the delta blues. That first Sabbath album, from 1969, is just heavy, detuned blues. But I love ❤️ it.
@Huck Finn You know, Tony has such a fascinating story, growing up in industrial Birmingham, England he nearly didn't make it out. On his last day of work at the factory (he had accepted a gig with a band to go on tour), a machine accident took the ends of his fingers off. They told him he would never be able to play again... But he took light strings and detuned them, and then with some homemade prosthetic fingertips, he crafted that Sabbath sound which helped usher in an entire genre of music.
See if you can find a double album set called white boy blues it’s all garage sessions from London in the sixties all the the members of zeppelin the stones Jeff beck clapton etc
Totally blues, and I love how all the hard rock guitar legends were inspired by the old, black American blues guitarists like Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, BB King, etc. Makes me proud to be American even though literally EVERY SINGLE one of my favorite bands is British. 🤣
@@josephbarr1659 the who received the Kennedy Center Honor (you should check out youtube) daltrey said it was amazing to get an american award because it was american music that brought color to his black and white, post war life. I liked that
I'm from Wolverhampton England, I live very close to where Plant and Bonham were from, Wolverhampton has a massive jamaican population so growing up we were surrounded by amazing music, Ska, Reggae, Blues, Rock , Rock n roll we had it all. When the levee breaks was recorded in one take in a old mansion here in England.
Me too, I agree with all that you have said. I heard them live at Sheffield University, a very savvy entertainments guy booked them before they released ‘Stairway to Heaven’, they tried to get out of the gig, but were informed that the University had a very good Law department! The turned up and the speaker stack was huge, the best place to hear them was 200 yards up the road, which is where I heard them as the tickets had sold out in minutes. Those inside the hall were deaf for days. Awesome band and have never been surpassed.
Amazing engineering on that song. The compression on the drums made a solid decisive punch on every beat. The echo on the blues harp (harmonica) was haunting. The passion in the vocals left a mark on my soul. I have heard it a million times but it never gets old.
Your reaction perfectly sums up how I felt my very first time listening to this song when I was 14! Who knew that British rockers could make the bluesiest song of all time?! It’s like you can feel the muddy waters of the Mississippi in between your toes. And the drum riff alone… John Bonham’s drumming in this song is so influential!
"Fun Fact" about Led Zeppelin: no other band has been sampled as much (and by a LOOOOONG shot) from the rap community than Zeppelin has been. Countless Zeppelin samples, along with famous rappers such as 2Pac, Eminem, Dr. Dre, P. Diddy, Beastie Boys, Schooly D., and hip-hop acts such as Salt n Pepa have all sampled Zeppelin's classic rifts into their own songs. To say Zeppelin was/is arguably the most influential band ever is a BIG understatement.
When a Zeppelin song goes to so many places it never sounds contrived. It needs to go to that new place and then come home again. Saw them live 4 times. God's will that these 4 people came together.
The face you made when you heard the chorus was the same exact face I made! I’ll never forget hearing this for the first time. I was blown away. Still my favorite song
That's exactly how a Zeppelin reaction should be. Followed up with 3 days, locked away, binge listening to the album. And yes, there is a method to their madness. The repeat the riff over and over through their songs, but each sequence is more complex than the last
I see a bunch of folks here suggesting In My Time of Dyin'. They know what they're talkin' about. Take their advice. You won't be the same after hearing it.
Absolutely Jayy - loving your reactions! And if you felt carried away by Levee, please please please go find “In My Time of Dyin’ “ off of Physical Graffitti album - it will no doubt transfix and transport you away on angels’ wings.
I feel nothing but happy seeing her reactions. My favorite band..as well as my fathers and late uncles. Led Zeppelin brings me so much joy and peace, love to see it doing that for others.
Isn't that song great? Sadly, it's a recounting of a terrible flood way back in the early 1900s that displaced a lot of folks. Great delta blues song totally Zepped up 😉
This song was always one of my many Zeppelin favorites. I always felt they gave it a very "delta swamp-rock" sound. Heavy, dirty-muddy, blues-rock with lots of bottom end and plenty of wailing, crying from the guitar. The song gained more meaning for me in 2005 as I empathized with the victims of Huricane Katrina.
You understand 70's rock, and instrumentals beyond your peers and age group. So many reaction videos, the host gets bored during the song when there's no lyrics, but you GET IT.
Watching a young lady get emotional about my (51 yr old guy) favorite song of all time just made my day. Music is something bigger than everything else. God bless you, and thanks for making my day. Music is the one thing that can bring us together during these difficult times.
Possibly my favorite Led Zep track - the relentless drums, the powerful vocals and the guitar that just keeps churning and grinding ... so many elements to achieve such a unique sound.
That song is what made me the hardcore Zeppelin fan I am. I will never forget the first time I heard that song…a rare rainy day in Southern California, sitting at home as a 13 y/o kid when I heard that song on the radio. I’m not even joking, I stopped what I was doing & was simply transfixed with the music. I had chills & I swear it felt like the most powerful spiritual 7 minutes of my life, lol. I immediately jumped on my bike (in the rain) and rode to the record store to buy that CD. One of the best musical experiences of my life!
I love your reactions, and especially love your description of angels falling next to each ear. Jayy, you are witnessing the greatest rock band of all time.
No other band compares to Led Zeppelin, their music goes to super heavy rock and roll to country, to acoustic, to reggae. An incredible group of musicians that will never be beat!
To see someone love a band at first hearing, that I've loved for so long, it warms my heart. A lot of bands were adapting the Blues into a Rock sound, and there were SO many good bands coming out of England at that time. But Zeppelin took that Blues/Rock concept, and forged it into a mighty rock-hard f-ing diamond. These guys are just such a perfect synergy of what Rock was becoming, and could be. Cheers to Jayy.
I really enjoy seeing someone who gives a genuine, thoughtful, and realistic reaction. It doesn't seem forced like some of the other reaction videos I've seen by other people. I appreciate what you do.
Love your face expression soooo much! Genuinly feeling of this masterpiece music. Pure emotions... Music is the most beautiful language on this planet,
"The song remains the same" was your best comment. Now you need to do a reaction to their song called "The song remains the same". Best Rock band ever!
