I Can't Quit You is a song written by Willie Dixon back in the day and if you get a chance Jamel you should check out Otis Rush's version of I Can't Quit You from 1956.
Never knew the name of Over the Hills until about a month ago. Have heard it since the album first came out in '73, my brother had the album, remember it as a kid. My favorite song by them.
@@gregrambo606 I have all the albums. Been listening to them since the beginning. Borrowed my sisters car drove 50 miles to see them in 75 "Physical Graffiti" I was 15. The good seats where $7.50 played a double set about 2hrs. I still don't know all the the songs names, have forgotten a few. A lot of names are not part of the lyrics. but I know all the songs.
Lol I love that song. My garage band in high school wanted to cover it, and tried, but had to abandon it after an hour or 2 because I can't play bass and drums at the same time. Our drummer just could not get the weird time signature figured out.
“Many times I’ve wondered how much there is to know.” “I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold” “Many, many men can’t see the open road.” And that’s just a few of the great lines in this song.
That's one thing that Led Zeppelin did so well, that lesser metal bands rarely attempted at all: juxtaposing light and dark, soft and loud, a kind of musical chiaroscuro, in Page's words.
Actually the Pixies did it. They inspired Kurt Cobain's style. When I listened to this I thought heck Led Zeppelin was doing this twenty years before. Love them!
@@beth2398 Indeed. I remember some hair band in the 80s claimed to have invented something called "acoustic metal". I never heard it, but if it rocked harder than "Gallows Pole" I'd be impressed!
Jemel's rockin the Zeppelin shirt! This is the music that I grew up listening to as a teenager in the 70"s I'm so glad to the younger generation starting to appreciate it. Thank you so much Dude!
I just turned 35. LZ is my favorite band. In my high school LZ was a very popular band. Still is. I hear it all the time and see many kids younger than me listening to it.My mom, 68, and dad, 67, saw LZ in the late 70s and I always have dreamed of seeing them.
I will always remember 'Over the Hills and Far Away as the song we listened to during a study break during an "all-nighter" exam study session. My friend Mike WENT OFF!! when the transition hit -get out of his way!!! Our brains were fried! But to this day I think of this song with a smile on my face. (P.S. Total PARTY after the exam!!! 😎 -different style of brain fry)
I always wondered what the fellas thought about The Lord of the Rings movies. I'm sure Plant felt like a kid when seeing the trilogy for the first time on screen.
It's difficult to call a Zep song "underrated" (maybe "under-played" is more accurate?) but I think this one is. My brain short-circuited the first time hearing this one and I had a compelling urge to blow out my speakers.
If only big music labels realized that reaction channels like this aren't hurting them, they actually help them. I was familiar enough with Led Zeppelin to know Over The Hills, but I had never heard of I Can't Quit You Baby or You Shook Me. Now they're some of my favorites.
Back around '73 i was 16 or so. Used to drop acid, windowpane 4 way hits, and tripped balls to the whole first Led Zeppelin album. I also learned a lot of guitar licks from that album.
@@sarahwaters10sw Realy you can't go wrong with Zeppelin. If they ever invent a time machine I'm going back to the 70s. Not to be young again just for the great music.
It's a damn shame that Robert Plant won't pull his head out of his rear end and join Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham in a final, farewell tour for the tens of millions of their fans who made them the rock legends that they are. I Can't Quit You is a blues song written by Willie Dixon back in the '40's I think. Like do many British bands, Zeppelin was heavily influence by African American blues artist like Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Son House, etc.. You should check out the Otis Rush version of I Can't Quit You from 1956.
That’s a bit harsh, don’t you think. None of those, except Jason, could pull off a big tour with two-plus-hour shows to fill. Jimmy hasn’t played in public for quite a while. I heard it’s some health issues. He can produce and do studio work, but a live performance is out. They may rightly feel concerned they would be criticized for failing to live up to the standard they set in their youth, and being a shadow of their former selves. After all, they did say that without Bonzo, Led Zeppelin was finished. I don’t believe they owe us a thing.
"Houses of the Holy" is my favorite Led Zep album. You would like "The Crunge". Also, Dancing Days, D'yer Maker, or The Ocean, if you haven't heard them already. Great songs.
They got a lot of their early inspiration from black southern blues from the Mississippi Delta to New Orleans. They put their English spin on it and...masterpieces.
Love your reaction to LZ transitions!!! Over the Hills is another LZ gem. But I Can't Quit You Baby - is LZ blues its best - Jimmy's guitar singing the blues along with Robert and the amazingly tight rhythm section!! I wish that at some point you would do some reactions to live filmed performances of the band. Their concerts are another experience - unbelievable improvisation on stage that takes the studio versions and flies into the stratosphere
I bought the T-shirt you are wearing at a Led Zeppelin concert in 1975 it was the Physical Graffiti tour at The Forum the Great Western Forum in LA sat 7 rows back from the band on the floor with a middle aisle seat greatest night of my life well I also did see Lynyrd Skynyrd up close that was an amazing night also in Anaheim Angel Stadium
I, too, just couldn't get enough of Jamel's Led journey! He says You Shook Me is his favorite. Well, his YSM reaction is my favorite reaction of all time! 🤣✌️
ACDC's 'You Shook M All Night Long' a completely different song. And Zep's 'You Shook Me' and 'I Can't Quit You' both written by the great Willie Dixon.
Hi J, agree, no one like them...they conquer all music; barging ahead with no regard for half-measures...a runaway freight train with no stop lights, invincible!
I love how you thought it may have been an instrumental track only at the start. The thing I love about them is that the didn't put out cookie cutter songs, 3min radio songs. They put out creations and if they needed to be 10mins long then that's what they were, with tempo changes and multiple songs mashed into one. Love them, best ever.
The older brother of a childhood friend of mine had quite the collection of old Mississippi Delta Blues albums. I regularly was exposed to the greats like Robert Johnson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Pine Top Perkins, along with bands like Cream, The Yardbirds, early Clapton, and of course, Zep! So whenever I hear this song in particular, I have great flashbacks!
The Groundhogs, "Groundhog Blues" Live at Leeds. Those British boys must've smuggled in a boatload of Mississippi mud, because man, could they belt out the blues.
@@jameshunter7303 I hear you. I think you should check out this band radiohead though if you haven't. I would say there songs are as good as zeps and theyre still making brilliant music to this day. Actually funny enough robert plant is very influenced by them lol. Also other bands like beach house and fleet foxes I would say come pretty close to me and have helped me get through some shit
The BBC Sessions versions of I Cant Quit You Baby are ridiculously good....tone is on fire. And How The West Was Won version of Over the Hills and Far Away is the best live version of that
Hey Jamel, both “I can’t quit you baby” and “You shook me” were old blues songs Zeppelin borrowed(some people say stole) from an artist by the name of Willie Dixon that I believe is credited on the album. He also did a song called “Back door man” which The Doors did later. The British Invasion back in the 60’s was inspired heavily from old blues artists such as; Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King, Willie Dixon, B.B. King, Otis Rush, & Albert Collins to name a few. So you’ll find dozens of songs from artists like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Cream The Doors(American band) Eric Clapton, the Beatles and so forth that drew a lot of inspiration from these early cats. Peace my man. 🎸
Jamal love your reactions to Led Zepplin. Was a Junior in HS when Led 1 came out 53 years later Sounds better than ever. Thank you for turning the younger generation ON to the music I grew up to The first time I saw them live 1967 they went by the name the NEW YARDBIRDS
My very favorite. A brother here. Also, any and everything from Led Zeppelin II. Growing up Black with lots of blues music, I could hear the strong influence of the Blues on the band when I first heard II in 1970.
Thanks, Led Zepplin for your interpretation of Willie Dixson's song "I Can't Quit You Babe". The original was recorded by Otis Rush in 1956! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d-ek5CIJp78.html Thanks, Jamel for Re-Uploading and your reaction. The Blues had a baby brother, Rock n Roll!
"Over the Hills..." is my second favorite Led Zeppelin song but I don't think you've reacted to my favorite, "Houses of the Holy." If you're interested in getting back to them on your other channel, that song would be a good place to start.
