What a trip! Vocal Coach reacts to Led Zeppelin performing Since I've Been Loving You LIVE in 1973 

Don’t worry, Led Zeppelin has been blowing peoples minds for over 50 years. 🤯

There’s 2 kinds of people. Those who love Led Zeppelin, and those who haven’t heard them yet.

Led Zeppelin were famous for not playing songs the same way twice. They're just great musicians. It was fun to watch your appreciation of their blues chops on this one. Speaking as a guitar player, that high note near the end that you were curious about is most certainly Robert Plant's voice. I can't get enough of this particular version of the song. Great reaction, Bethany!

Zeppelin was notorious for improvisation during live performances. That’s what really made them special to see live. Their performance was never canned. Maybe not always clean and pristine but never, ever boring. Four of the most accomplished musicians in the history of Rock music. Really enjoyed your reaction, young lady.

Robert and Jimmy often hit/play the same notes at the same time. It is just ONE of the reasons that nobody has ever come along that compares to Zeppelin. Pure greatness.

This was 50 years ago. Still is the best rock performance in history

The studio version is well worth hearing. Plant himself considers it his best performance. It's sublime.

He was 24/25 here. Which just blows my mind how much confidence and stage presence he had. Actually even their first recordings when he was 20. Just an unreal performer. Best of the best.

Led Zeppelin are still the most important band in Rock n Roll history

They were recognized and given a Kennedy Center award for the best rock group...they are musical geniuses.

The fact that you couldn't figure out where the guitar playing left off and the vocals began truly showcases why this band was one of the all time greats. The incredible talent of Jimmy Page's fingers and Robert Plant's voice is nothing short of amazing. They showed it time and time again on most of their signature songs, and I haven't even given props to the multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones and the powerhouse percussion of John Bonham. I was fortunate to see them on more than one occasion and they brought their A game to every show.

The studio version is absolutely biblical. Gives me chills the last 3 minutes of the song. Plants voice pre-1972 is the greatest male vocal I’ve ever heard and I’ve heard it all. The power he had in Zeps early days is 2nd to none including Mercurys.

Very few bands could get into a pocket like Led Zeppelin. Those four made magic together; their grooves feel almost telepathic.

Bluesy is right. Conversational is right. Improvisational is right. Soulful is right. This song actually beats out Stairway to Heaven for me. It's like a religious experience each time I listen to it. A stillness overtakes me as I listen in awe to the raw emotion being portrayed so masterfully by all the musicians in the band with each of them complimenting one another. I enjoyed your cool insights to my favorite Led Zeppelin song! As an aside, I saw them live 4 times! The first two times were at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago. Oh, were they HOT!

Watching the young ladys face during this vid was magic. Heres hoping she does all of Zepplins work. I've been a huge fan for sixty odd years. Young lady has years to enjoy their majesty! Enjoy and Rock and Roll

The aura of this band live is unexplainable. They have double doses of the "it" factor.

Arguably, one of the finest performances ever captured on film. Improvisation and working together, playing off one anothers' riffs was part of the magic of Zep.

Gods. The POWER of Led Zeppelin is unmatched.

Led Zeppelin 1 is number 1. The variety, the raw emotion, power. Made in 38 hours. True stait from the soul. Number one album of any group

I don’t always listen to Led Zeppelin but when I do so do my neighbors

Zeppelin was basically a blues band that added rock to their sound, but huge chunks of their discography is straight blues.

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

Lez Zeppelin and Robert Plant have been my favorite since I was a young teenager. I'm now 60. Robert still puts me on another level of consiousness, not to mention I was in love with him just for HIM but his vocals just put me on another level. Still makes my heart beat fast and sweating. There will never be another Led Zeppelin.

This 1973 live performance at MSG is a timeless classic. I never get tired of listening to the whole show. Truly, one of rock and roll's greatest bands.

To answer your question: this is the music I want to listen to. All of Zeppelin. All of it.

Each member of Led Zeppelin is a master of their craft. My favourite band of all time since 1972 when I was 12 years old. As I got older I came to appreciate their back-catalogue (which I was too young to appreciate at first) as well, and my love affair with them has continued and grown ever since.

Plant and Page had great instincts for blues and mastered call & response between Robert's voice and Jimmy's guitar. In "Dazed and Confused" there is an entire section that showcases such an interlude between the two. They were just a fantastic band, all 4 members locked in together so they could riff and improvise without ever losing their groove. Robert also plays harmonica but in the style of vocals; he's amazing on "When the Levee Breaks".

I’ve been loosing my worried mind listening to Led Zeppelin for 50 years now, for me it soothes the soul like no other band

The older I get, the more I appreciate the music of my youth. 50 plus years and better now than ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wonderful reaction! Robert is in a class all of his own - his range; phrasing; emotion and his lyric writing- so good. Led Zeppelin has a large catalog with so many different genres - but definitely blues based. FYI - Robert did have vocal issues around this time and for a few years after. I believe he eventually had cord surgery. He is still performing and has moved to traditional American music. Saw him with Alison Krauss last year - fabulous.

Led Zeppelin is known most as a blues rock band. If you want to hear a great example of this listen to "When Levee Breaks" which is a cover of an ancient blues tune. In my opinion they are the greatest rock band that ever was.

Led Zeppelin is just that band that you can find a 60 year old granddad that has been listen to it since a teenager, and never gets over it.

You cant explain it, there are no words. Zeppelin was visually , physically, and mentally life changing. Outstanding…! This woman looks like she’s in love…like all of us! Haha…shes needs a cold shower!

Led Zeppelin is for the ADVANCED music listener. 💥💥💥👍😎

What always impressed me about Robert Plant live is his way of converting a song we know from a studio album and tastefully cheating, not hitting the high or intense notes on the album. He's masterful at it. He certainly goes for some of the high bits, as shown here, but is very smart in saving his voice.

At 70 I’ve been listening to to this music for over 50 years. Great reaction. Robert Plant still has the voice and stage presence as evidenced by his recent tour with Allison Krause.

Just phenomenal , brilliant performance . Page's guitar is from Heaven . Best ever , love it ❤

There is so much incredible music from Zeppelin, this of course is epic, but "Ten Years Gone" is my personal favorite Zeppelin song. The best of all 4 of them.

A friend that served In the Marines with me called me up and had gotten 4 tickets from a promotion. I flew up from Dallas and crashed at his place. His girl introduced me to her cousin. What a weekend. We had Saturday night tickets. 3 months later I flew her cousin to Dallas. Been married 50 years to the same damn women, and would do it over and over again.

Thank you Bethany. A classic performance with Robert in his prime. Watching the expressions on your face as you experience these songs is priceless. Keep discovering new stuff!

Just discovered your channel, great reaction! That is an iconic performance and I was fortunate to be at that show July 29, 1973… The original version of the song was released in 1970. Believe it or not three years later as powerful and high pitched Robert Plant sounds, from all the touring he lost a good amount of power and range since three years earlier. If you want your mind really blown, please listen to the original studio version!

I was a teenager in the 70s and Led Zeppelin is what we listened to. They are who I think of when I think of rock music.

The best thing is you kids are discovering what real music from the 50's, 60's and 70's was, and is all about, turning 70 tomorrow and still listen to it everyday.

As a kiwi woman...im so grateful ive had these musician's in my life as a constant backgroud sound to my life. Discovered them when i was 16. Loved them ever since...deeply soulful connection. Love them always.

Rock and Metal are an evolution of Blues, so it's not unusual for early bands to have an obvious blues tone to some of the music. And Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are probably the two most influential founding members of those genres.

Plant seduced the audience with his presence, physically and vocally... that command of the stage at 13:28... how the band holds back and gives him that space to roam... take time.. build tension. This is a great video. Seen it many times and love it every time. *** edit - and what an intro... patient and not a note wasted

As a Zeppelin fan of like 20 years it is SO AWESOME to see someone discovering how truly awesome and unique Zeppelin is.

Led Zeppelin is the soundtrack of my teenage years in the 70’s! Best band ever!

Thanks for your appreciation of this band. All the members are amazing. You have opened up a door that can lead to Robert's life time of work, along with all the commentary Jimmy Page gives on creating the music. As said below, you need to check out studio versions too. There is so much emotion in this song that it helps me to cry when I need to get it out. Thanks again for your appreciation.

If you really want to hear the progression of this song over the years they’ve been playing it live (and all their songs) go to a sight called Black Beauty. Site has 99% of all their concerts since 1968. I am especially keen on the period between 69 and 73. They’ve played it perhaps 60-70 times and each time they play it it’s different. The improv from these 4 guys are breathtaking. They are loose in their artistic freedom but tight in that they always find and feed off each other. Not too many bands can achieve this each and every time they go on stage

Another great reaction video! Listen to current Robert Plant and realize he hasn't "blown" his voice and can still sing that big head of hair off. He's still so vocally expressive and can still dig into that wild range of his.

This woman has no idea whatsoever that she’s listening to four Absolute Master Musicians to ever assemble ever! Enjoy !

16:39 in the album version, when Robert sang the part “oh my tears that fell like rain.. don’t you see them fall”, the drum actually followed with the beats that imitated the emotional impact of tears falling! Love it!

Yep that is absolutely Roberts voice at the end,best blues/rock vocalist of all time 😊

The studio version made Robert Plant my favorite singer ever a long time ago. Great way to start, especially since Led Zep have such a wide variety of songs.

Funny story about Led Zeppelin: growing up we ALWAYS had music playing in our house. Always. My dad had wired the entire house with speakers to our stereo (I’m talking early 80s) so we could put an album on and have it playing throughout the house. My mom played mostly Irish & country music. Us kids played everything from hard rock (Zeppelin, AC/DC) to disco to singer/songwriter (Cat Stevens, James Taylor). To her credit, my mom just loved music & never told us to take anything off. Anyway, my sister had Zeppelin playing & mom was enjoying the music. She turned to my sister and said “I like the music. Too bad the singer can’t sing.” !!!! My sister looked at her in absolute horror. “ That’s Robert Plant, mom!” We still laugh about it & say “Too bad he can’t sing” every time we hear Robert Plant. Also, I so enjoy your reactions to the music. You can tell you feel music in every bone in your body. It was a true pleasure seeing you discover Led Zeppelin. 🥰

I saw them live in 1975 and true, he doesn't seem to use his diaphram at all. I like your reactions. i think that Zeppelin's partial success was the fact all four members stand out in each and every song on their own contributions, whether it is vocal, guitar ,bass ,or drums. They are all excellent. Peace and Love. (I am 74 and when I saw them live, tickets were only $10.50 for a non stop 3 1/2 hour gig. no frills, no auto tune, or dancers, just talent from four excellent musicians.).

Led Zeppelin are still the most important band in Rock n Roll history.

Led Zeppelin's brilliance was the constant improvisation between the 4 musicians. The drummer played off the guitar licks just as much as the vocalist. They pushed themselves everynight, never playing it safe.

Plant's voice is so inconsistent, I think because at times he pushes beyond his limitations purely out of the feeling and emotion behind his performance. So sometimes he's flat or cracking on a really high note, then seconds later he sounds impossibly phenomenal. He's one of a kind that's for sure.

Great choice. The first time I saw Zep I wanted to see if his voice was for real. And it was. But I never understood how they could play every night or two and not be deaf. They were extremely loud. And mind blowing.

No one does it better Live. Only LED ZEPPELIN ❤

I've watch this performance 1,000,000,000,000 times. Love it more every time.

This is beyond rock. It's blues/jazz, these guys are real musicians flexing mastery way out on the edge of being. One tiny misstep and everything would fall apart.

This song is so much fun to play guitar along with, and it's because Robert is so totally feeding the guitar. It's a beautiful chord progression too, and how it descends at the end back down to the tonic chord. It's a fantastic conversation.

Greatest band ever...especially live! They did every genre!! I prefer to hear any Zeppelin song!!

True classic rock has feel and emotion. You don't get that with simple head banging rubbish.

The studio version has the most incredible blues guitar solo ever recorded. I was fortunate enough to see Zeppelin live in 1971, 1973, and 1975. In Florida. Their live performances were incredible.

This is probably the greatest rock band of all time

You have seen nothing yet! Tightest band ever! The studio is different and they never played the same song the same way. They were UNIQUE!! Absolutely improvised!

Great song. Love that you dropped your jaw on this one! For you THE Vocalyst you should stick with great singers in the Rock world. From Janis Joplin to Bruce Dickenson, Robert Plant and other big singers is a great place to start. Rock is bigger than you can imagine with all the variations in bands and styles. Cheers and keep having a great time exploring!

There is two versions of this as it was a 2 night show. You picked the best of them. My opinion. These ARE the Masters. Timeless. They had a special ESP that most bands can never achieve when performing.

Just one of so many great performances. It's fun to watch people look at it closer so many years later. Same with many artists.

Robert Plant was gifted with a voice that didn't require a lot of effort, he's legend.

You know what's amazing (and crazy) about Robert Plant's vocals, If you watch the movie "Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same" right before this song he is smoking cigarette backstage. He was a smoker and was still able to perform for two three hours at a time

Great reaction. Please listen to their track Kashmir Live from Celebration Day. You will see despite the fact that they are much older. They sound as good Live as they ever have

This has to be one of the best performances of all time, in my opinion. The talent, tightness of the band, and vocal range are all just astounding. I've watched it hundreds of times and am almost brought to tears, every time he hits that last apex, near the end: SO THRILLING! Has to be one of the most mesmerizing, erotic, AMAZING performances I've ever seen! Really showcases their cohesiveness as a band. The call and response is amazing, as it always is with Led Zepplin...and, you add JPJ's bass and Bonzo's amazing drumming (usually in a very different time signature than the rest of the song with their catalog): you just CANNOT get much BETTER THAN THIS! LOVED your reaction. It matched mine, the first time I heard this song, years ago!! JUST INCREDIBLE. Thanks for your channel - I've really enjoyed watching your reactions! HUGS! ❤

This song just nails it for me in terms of emotions, page's guitar work is the centerpiece of this masterpiece and how he just weaves in and out of his notes. Definitely one of the best work page has done.

Haha. You can't really just focus on this song for singing because he's not singing so much but using his voice as an instrument that is one half or one part of the "sound" while pages guitar is also singing, and if I do say so myself.. as good as plant is, pages guitar is undoubtedly the star of the show here. No questions asked or tolerated. That is undeniable fact. I can see that she's blown away at the start just from it all, and she doesn't want to pause or stop to focus just on the singing because it takes you out of the moment and spiritual experience. Taking the time to blink and pick your jaw up off the floor to focus just on the singing just ruins your own enjoyment and takes you out of that beautiful moment. I REALLY HOPE YOU LISTENED TO THIS IN FULL MANY TIMES BEFORE MAKING THIS VIDEO.. otherwise you just ruined your own experience. It's like having sex for the first time and the. repeatedly stopping to do analysis of individual parts of lovemaking lol.

A lot of people rag on his vocals later on in his career, and its mostly justified, he did lose a few steps, but in the early 70's I don't think there was anyone who could compare to his soulful stage presence. Legitimately the greatest frontman of his generation.

Robert Plant has a very big vocal range, from C♯2 to Bb6 , so yes that's absolutely him doing the scream :) I'm sure you'll love listening to David Ruffin from the Temptations, he has a vocal range from E2 to G6. You should check out his performance with the Temptations : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KLjryDAyn9Y.html the choreography is crazy too !

Yes, the coordination between all members of the band but especially Robert (singer) and Jimmy (guitar) is spectacular. You can see in so many of their live performances how they use call and response back and forth with each other - much of it, I assume is improvised!! That's why they are the greatest rock and roll band to ever exist. Great reaction. Please keep going. Studio, live, it doesn't matter. They are masters wherever they go.

Would love to hear your commentary on the Led Zeppelin song 'Thank You' it's my favorite by them. So glad I was born in 1954, we got to hear and see in concert what are arguably some of the best bands ever.

This song is a 12 barre blues. Most twelve barre blues songs stick to a basic chord format. This song stretches the boundaries of that harmonic development as far as anyone I've ever heard anyone do. Listen to some BB King or Muddy Waters or Howlin' Wolf or TBone Walker to understand what a typical 12 barre blues sounds like. Stormy Monday by by The Allman Brothers Band is a good slow blues song to compare this with. Stormy Monday Breaks from typical 12 barre blues harmony as well but not nearly as much as Since I've Been Loving You. When you can knowingly analyze a standard 12 barre slow blues number, then you can see how far this on goes from standard. Have fun.

If you're interested, you should watch the early Zeppelin video of their performance on Danish TV in 1969. Incredibly raw as compared to their polished versions such as this one. I would suggest How Many More Times. Jay Buchanan from Rivals Sons is another incredible vocalist who has the same improvisational skills as Plant. They have many excellent songs ,I would suggest starting with either Jordan or Too bad.

Zeppelin never performed a piece the same way - they were master improvisers, constantly exploring. I don't believe Robert Plant used much in the way of traditional formalized vocal technique. I think it was all inspired energy, and deep immersion in the blues and rock traditions. This is among their greatest performances, but there are many more.

So awesome to see you dive into Led Zeppelin and the legendary Robert Plant! They were heavily blues-influenced, especially early in their career. And in that blues/blues-rock genre, this is certainly one of their most popular tracks. It's probably my favorite live performance of them, for any song, and it's a favorite of many Zeppelin fans. I'm so glad you talked about the band chemistry, but particularly between Plant and Page. I've been watching/listening to this forever (or at least since it was put on the big screen back in the day), and I've always marveled at how well Plant and Page play off each other, especially in this song. I don't think I've ever seen it done any better, between a singer and guitarist. The way they flow back and forth is just ridiculous. It's like musical telepathy!

The communication between guitar and Vox is unparalleled

I've thoroughly enjoyed your professional reaction to my favorite version of 'Since I've Been Loving You' which I've been digging for 40 years. It's really cool. Going to throw you a curve ball and hope that you can react to this Bowie tune which I've been fascinated with since I discovered it just recently, Life on Mars: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ft3b1-Cm-0M.html Go get 'em kid

Led Zepplin’s early stuff was almost exclusively blues. Thanks for the reaction to the Mighty Zep.

One of the best vocalists ever. ❤

Now check out his newest live song with Allison Krause 'High and Lonesome'. Amazing song...50 years later and he still brings the heat!!

Love your analysis and delightful personality! Your are beautiful inside and out.

Every time I watch one of your videos I think "I love how you nerd out". Your expressions show how much you love figuring out every little detail of how the artist accomplish such amazing sounds...

Excellent reaction, thanks. The band members really played off each other, did a lot of improv during live performances. If you want to explore Plant's voice more in-depth, I suggest also listening to studio versions (the first two albums have a lot of blues rock tracks). Keep in mind if you do that there was no auto-tune back then. Although you won't be able to see his muscle action, you'll hear some absolutely incredible singing, as well as musicians who were beyond compare. Page on guitar is something to behold, but Jones on bass/keys and Bonham on drums really held down the fort. ;) Edit: As far as what type of rock music I like to listen to, it depends on my mood, of course. But Led Zeppelin has always been my "go-to". They were so diverse (blues, folk, English country, rock, punk, jazz, a bit of metal, etc.) and creative that one can set the needle at the start of an album and not have to lift it until it's over. They were no one-trick pony band like so many others, thus will hit all vibes. ;)

If you are liking the Bluesy side of Zep, one of my favorites that they did was " Tea for One". This band, you will find, has a song for every mood that you have.

The interplay between Robert and Jimmy is simply amazing. Keep in mind much of this is just improvised on stage. And of course the backing can't be beat. Simply the best rock band ever.

Plant is the bomb. Need to hear Kashmir live from Celebration day. Still ripping it in his 70's

I just ran into your channel tonight and I love your reactions to some of the best music of all time and to see your absolute appreciation and precise breakdown of this famous Masterpiece from the Great Led Zeppelin. And you have just barely scratched fhe surface and there is So much more. I would love to hear more of your thoughts you make me like appreciate this performance so much more myself Please keep doing what you do

Those of us who loved Led Zeppelin have always considered them a blues/rock ballad band. One of the best bands ever. I played for my wife on a road trip who really had never heard them and is now a huge fan.
