Vocal Coach Reacts to Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You 

Can't believe she was shocked to hear Led Zep play the blues!!! 😃 They were masters of their craft. ❤

"I didn't think Led Zeppelin was bluesy!" Actually, Led Zeppelin perfected the blues!! Great reaction!

Zeppelin has always been a blues band at heart. They were just heavy. Each album is different in tone. But all are massively blues influenced

In my opinion, this is one of the best live blues performances of all time.

Zeppelin gets thrown under the heavy metal category bus as they influenced later bands, but they themselves were the most dynamic 4 piece band to ever grace a stage. The Rain Song / Ten Years Gone are just 2 out of 50+ mind blowing songs.

Jimmy coined a phrase for them playing live on stage: "We were tight but loose". This performance is a great example of that.

11:28 - What I find amazing is how perfectly she manages to reproduce the smallest details of Robet's vocals here.

This was 4 guys who were practically peerless in their own fields who could also meld together seamlessly to create a whole so much greater than the sum of it's constituent parts. I feel utterly privilieged to have lived through the Zeppelin era. It also gladdens me beyond measure to see younger people discovering Zeppelin anew and appreciating them so deeply. It simply goes to show that true musical virtuosity transcends all ages, era and styles.

Robert used his voice like it was an instrument. Great analysis. They were all absolute masters.

Wow, it's great to see a vocal coach who can actually sing.

Amazing you mentioned Janis. Robert LOVED her singing and emulated her. Her influence is all over his singing on several Zeppelin tracks. Great pick up by you!

Plant is the master of using his voice as an instrument. The call recall between page plant is always amazing

"I didn't think Led Zeppelin was so bluesy" Oh you sweet summer child

This is a master class on every single instrument and level. And the epidome of blues right here. Doesn't get any better than this. Period. Great reaction 🙂

That was literally one of the best reactions-breakdowns of a Led Zeppelin song I've ever seen, and I've been swooning to Led Zep since 1968. Christ girl, you're good

I’m 54 and Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was 12. Thanks for reviewing them👏❤️

The versatility and live chemistry of Zeppelin is legendry. Your analogy of the four limbs of the body is spot on. When their drummer John Bonham die... it was the end of the band as well.

Vocal master class is the right description, Plant is a maestro at vocalization….. and yes Zeppelin were much a rock, R&B band, check out any of their albums and they’re full of R&B roots! The best rock band ever!

This is why they’re the greatest rock band ever created in history

Great job Tara. I’m 67 and grew up listening to these guys. I love your reaction and analysis. Keep up the good work.

I’m really so pleased that younger people are seeing how great Led Zeppelin were. I was blown away by their first album and still to this day am enjoying their music. This is the second voice analysis video I’ve seen and both can see how incredible they were. If you’ve not seen their dvd of the show in 2007 at the O2 Arena in London that had Jason Bonham (John Bonham’s son) on drums, look for it - it was a reminder to all Led Zeppelin fans how great they were!

"This is a master class right now". To be fair he 'is' the Golden God of Rock.

I've been a Led Zeppelin fan for most of my 49 year-old life, and I learned to play guitar to most of their songs. This is the first time I've heard someone appreciate both Robert's and Jimmy's in such a manner. Well done.

Don’t forget that the Bonham and Jones backup were phenomenal

The only duet Plant ever did during Zep was with Sandy Denny from Fairport Convention on "The Battle Of Evermore". Which is amazing.

You are correct; their music, on stage, was the result of all of them being “in the zone”. Jimmy was once asked what he was thinking about when he was onstage. His honest answer was that he was not. He can remember going onstage and then coming off. Everything in between was just feel…just letting go and channeling.

I saw them in 75 and 77. Still get goose bumps. They are all masters musicians. The real reason Jimmy, Robert and John Paul can do what they do is John Bonham. They are masters of changing time signatures where they are not all playing the same time. And Bonzo will at times follow after the guitar. Loved your reaction!

Absolutely love your breakdown of Plants vocal patterns !!! you seem like a person i could spend hours talking about the real of music with . thanks for the awesome reaction video !!

Led Zeppelin was considered hard rock/heavy blues but they played a variety of genres from rock and roll, rockabilly, folk, with sprinklings of Celtic, Motown, jazz, R&B and more woven through various songs. Jimmy incorporates a lot of string bending in his playing to assist with some of those wails. He definitely gives his guitar a voice. Robert and Janis never got to perform together but Robert did see her in concert and did take some inspiration from her style. He tells a story of him being really young and getting to watch Janis perform at a music festival they were both going to be performing at and she gave him orange juice to help soothe his throat but it had vodka in it. Their music always surprises.

One of the greatest guitar performances ever.

Drooling over Plant and Page's immense talent and mesmerizing music at the same time as being completely gobsmacked by their hotness is precisely the way to enjoy Zeppelin if you ask me, so welcome to that. :)

I have been listening to Led Zeppelin for over 50 years and still get chills and goosebumps when I hear them. No wonder that Jimmy was voted Best guitarist 2 years in a row. So great.

Absolutely loved your genuine appreciation for these colossal talents, and your knowledge and analysis of what was happening in the song was amazing! The Mighty Zeppelin never fails to impress on every level - thank you for a great video!

And when you saw this band in concert they would put the whole audience in that trance.

The music withstands the test of time. It is awesome to see it is still appreciated all these years later by different audiences. ❤

Who woulda thought I could learn something new about music I've been listening to since the '70s? Absolutely fantastic reaction.

I subscribed because you did this song and I would highly appreciate you doing more Led Zeppelin because your analysis was in my uneducated opinion, superb.

Plus, this is just 1 song out of an entire concert, the energy & stamina required to be a performer is next level!

This is my favorite guitar playing of all time. It hits you at a soul level - achingly in a good way. So powerful. So much emotion.

On reflection, and I've watched this a few times now, this has been one of the most enjoyable reactions I've come across. Well done - Very professional and very informative.

Just to clarify the metal thing Led Zep never regarded themselves as a metal band. Heavy metal came afterwards and was influenced by LZ but only limited elements of it. This band is far more versatile and don't like to be pigeon holed. If you do more led zep they will constantly suprise and delight you, with rock , folk, blues funkiness and even reggae. The instrumentation is always wonderful , i think you will probably enjoy the tracks that feature JPJ on organ eg your time is gonna come and Thankyou. There is also the marvellous stripped back acoustic set, including the tracks thats the way and going to California. Plant and Page are extremely skilfull at dueting with each other, they take it in turns as to who calls and who answers. You will also hear duetting between Bonham and JPJ. They have so much fun on stage and so then the audience also does. There is an excellent live performance of I can't quit you babe at the Albert Hall London from 1970. But probably where you should go first is Stairway to Heaven, live at MSG 1973 which is a virtuoso performance.

Brilliant!! Their live performances show their true virtuosity. Where the live performances lose the ideal acoustics, it is a platform for their creativity. I always prefer their live performances

To me, this is the greatest live performance ever ! True, never a same performance of a song . This is an example of what controlled randomness is lol ! A true master class in performance in every way ! 4 guy's who just go with the flow in a different way every night ! Going by pure feeling and running with it, coming back when they just know the time is right. A magic experience on and off stage ! Just imagine being in the crowd, even just for this song ! ....... BOOM , mind blown ! Love watching you experience this Tara, this had the same same effect on me and most i feel, and i had heard the original first , so it had an extra bang to it, like hearing another song altogether ! Just a whole other time for music, musicians, and live performance ! Peace n love from down under 😎🤘

Definitely one of my most favorite songs, I love their bluesy side.

Love to see you do more of Zeppelin, especially from this concert. that was enjoyable!

Made me want to go back and listen to more LedZep, so no bad thing. So many of us Brits in the pre-internet analog days went deep into their influences and created unique music. How many bands today have this level of ability? Especially vocally. Progress in music is by no means assured. Thanks for the deep dive, Tara.

Finally someone who understands about real music... Congratulations Tara!

Led Zeppelin was a multidimensional band..they mastered everything

The thing is, Robert Plant doesn't think in terms of all that technique and analysis, at all. He just does it. It's pure emotion and grit, and just belting out blues licks with incredible imaginative originality and energy. Singers today will analyze this to death but will never achieve that greatness and depth that Plant achieved. It might be good, but it won't be great. Singers trying to be technically masterful miss the fact that Led Zeppelin surfed over the improvisational wave in a sloppy, raw and exploratory improvisation, not afraid to crash. They are free, and because they are, their music is much more depthful. Much of today's music misses that entirely.

That's the beauty of led zeppelin none of there songs are alike master musicians for sure and Robert just the way he intertwined his vocals with the band pure magic best band ever period.

Led Zeppelin is the original blues rock band. Thanks for a great reaction.

The whole performance is amazing but that intro....wow... the random noise from Pages guitar... its the chaos of the cosmos from which he pulls pure lyrical liquid melody. And then Plant comes in..Gives me the chills. Makes me believe in the soul

This is my absolute favorite song by Zeplin; it perfectly displays all of their individual and collective talents so well. I do wish you heard the studio version, but fantastic.

Led Zeppelin played such a variety of musical styles

This was one helluva reaction! I grew up on this and you come along and give me fresh vibes and cause me to fall even deeper in love with it. Thanks for this🙏👍

Led Zeppelin! My Lord they were rock 'n' roll Gods. I adore this guys!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great reaction. My favorite band of all time. I am so glad I got to see Robert and Allison in concert recently near Dallas. It was cool that they did some Zeppelin songs. He was actually in the record shop in Dallas looking for his albums lol.

Incredible evaluation and reaction. You can tell you really know your stuff. Fantastic work

Saw this band live in 1970 and over fifty years later and still enjoying listening to them Their music is still relevant today as it was back in 70s

I love the way you broke down and analysed the song so expertly, and totally on the fly ! Led Zeppelin were an amazing band, and have a totally die-hard fan base. We are all completely addicted to their heavy blues-rock style. Good to see the fan club just increased by one today ! (I’m having difficulty believing you’ve only just discovered them, though)😊

What to say about Led Zeppelin, well, it was like having together on the same stage, in the same environment, in the same band Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Picasso and Salvador Dali. Masters at their craft. Best live band ever. Gods of rock.

Masters at their craft. No band will ever have that sound or feel! Listening to that song for the 1000th time I still say wow

Led Zeppelin is a multi faceted rock band that sings blues, jazz and psychedelic plus rock

Led Zeppelin were a living breathing homage to the Blues..and I'm glad that you are here for it 😀

That was a great reaction I like how you acknowledge all the band members for being a vocal coach

nice reaction i saw led zeppelin 21 times and they played this song every time and it is one of my favorite songs by them!!!! the greatest rock band ever period...

That's the best breakdown I've seen yet,thank You God bless,cheers

Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time

I am new to your channel. Tara , you really know vocals and music so well. I always been a Zep fan, but the way you analyzed them, I have so much more appreciation for their cohesiveness and artistic abilities.

I actually busted out laughing when she said she didn't know zeppelin did blues. Great to see new generations appreciating the gods.

This is the first video I see in your channel. I love when you reproduce the sound. You have the right words to describe this beautiful song. The only way I had to describe this one of my most favorites songs of LZ was HYPNOTHIC..

Saw them play this song twice in concert. Their first album and part of their second one is very bluesy.

As one who found your channel as a result of the pandemic and jumping over the wall of the very limited talent of the American pop music world, into the unbelievably talented world of European rock and metal musicians, and watching and learning from your expert breakdowns of bands such as Epica and Nightwish, seeing you now go back to my childhood of bands like Led Zeppelin! Bring it on - this was awesome! And so were they!! The band that every rock and metal band since has emulated and tried to live up to!

Tara loved your commentary and breakdown of this great LZ song. Especially loved your analysis of Plant’s singing. LZ were four supremely talented musicians who also had great feel, cohesiveness and spontaneity when they played live concerts. Because they were so in sync with each other musically they could improvise more and yet always come back to the scripted song. Saw JPJ interviewed once and he said two things that really impressed me. One, when they were playing live concerts he never wanted to be the one who let the other guys down. The bar was set very high and you were challenged every night to play your best to keep up with the other three guys. Two, all of them were very good at listening to each other and responding instinctively to what the others were playing.

Great reaction! Sometime you gain a new appreciation for something you’ve loved all of your life when you see it through someone else’s eyes. More Zep!

People often speak of how "sloppy" Jimmy was in performance. I always suggest that he is the master of improv and that you can't compare the original album to live. They're two different animals. I do want to respect the way you understand Robert's vocal abilities.

Great analysis, Tara! Led Zeppelin, like many of the British bands of the '60s & '70s, was heavily influenced by the blues. Many of them actually saw themselves as blues artists, and they proceeded to imprint the signature of the blues onto hard rock for all time. This performance was insane, and Robert Plant's vocals are one of a kind. Their body of work is immense and continues to inspire musicians to this day. For another intensely creative blues performance based on a genre classic, you should react to Angelina Jordan's recording studio performance of her own arrangement of I Put A Spell On You, recorded when she was 9. It'll make you doubt your sanity. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html

She cracked me up when she said " try this at home." I've been listening to Led Zeppelin for 50 years and I never even thought of trying to mimic Robert Plant.

brilliant! I've heard this song a milllion times and your break down of the song made it a new experience for me. TY

They could do any genre. But I love when they do more bluesy numbers. Such an amazing band. This is about 50 years ago and people are still stunned and amazed by there music.

Robert is a masterclass for all singers 🥰🥰

This reaction made me subscribe. Excited to check out more of you Miss! The Janis comment, undulating, and Jimmy love. Sold. 😊 Now do 70's era Yes please. Lol

Tara, I want to thank you for waiting for us before you reviewed these musical giants. The guys could really do the blues. Or they could play anything they wanted to, any style, ANY. This is a master vocal class!!!!!!!!!! Since I have been loving you! EPIC. Plus many, many women were thrilled with Roberts performance and body movements.....!!!!!! AND I love their acoustic covers of songs... Cool.........

please do more Zepplin. You will be amazed

That was a masterful reaction Tara and your voice girl. ❤ Sooo... now the iconic signature Stairway To Heaven from the same concert.🙏By the way the English invasion of the 60's 70's introduced white America to the Blues fused through hardrock, which then morphed into heavy metal.

Love your reaction and commentary, superb.

Love your analysis. Still get chills down my spine whenever I hear this song!

Plant said that his vocal performance of The Rain Song at the same concert was his best ever.

Here is a quote from Mr Jones "i have always maintained that Zeppelin was the spaces between us. Bonzo was into soul music and Mowtown Ballads; i was into jazz and classical music; Jimmy was into rockabilly, blues and folk; and Robert was into blues and Elvis Preley. None of had the same record collection. Nobody outside of the band could understand this."

Can you tell how much your audience appreciated this? We old men are starving for genuine criticism and analysis of our Rock Gods

One of the best reactions to this song. Your knowledge of the voice and musicianship is remarkable.

One of my fave live performances ever ❤

I was inspired to get out my copy of Led Zeppelin the BBC Sessions. Well I'm glad I did. Recorded in 1969 for BBC radio programs, this is as good as it gets. These performances are absolutely explosive.This is a band at their absolute peak. Page's guitar solos are endlessly creative. Whew! Plant even blows some harp and John Paul Jones plays keyboards.🎼🎸🎸🥁🥁

Excellent reaction and analysis. You break things down very well for those who don't have any professional musical knowledge. Cheers.🇨🇦🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇🎯👍🌟💖

YES Tara this was wow...!!!!! These guys were monsters of their craft!.........

I love it when a reactor understands and can pick out all the amazing things Robert Plant does with his voice. He's 74 now and he still has that amazing head of hair. :D They have songs that are completely different from this one.

I liked how you explained the nuances in Plants singing and where they were coming from etc... That and giving insight on Pages playing and the band as a whole. I am a long time Zeppelin fan. Heck my license plate is Zepplin. I have watched multiple videos in which it's been said, when Page heard Plant sing for the first time, he knew he was who he was the one.

This reaction, it's the best I ever 👀, BRAVO. It's beautiful to listen to someone who knows what you are talking about

This performance was during a very tough year for plant. His high range was pretty much lost by the end of the year before and he was kinda struggling in this tour. I suggest you do some stuff from royal Albert hall to see his peak

“Man he makes that sing” - not realising she’s listening to one of the greatest guitar players ever to walk the earth in Jimmy Page 😂
