I've viewed some of your reactions and subscribed to your channel. Now I'm going back to go through each of your LZ reactions beginning with LZ1. I've been a LZ fan for over 50 years and I really appreciate your insightful comments and appreciation. Thank you,
The analogy of the neighbor known but unknown is a very astute take and it is these kinds of brilliant pronouncements which make your videos worth watching. It is most enjoyable! As for LZ's ventures into the various roots, I would like to add almost every band that made it, had delved into some of the blues available at the time. Artists like Son James, Muddy Waters and a whole host of others, were excitedly listened to with fervor and youthful zeal. The kids in my area did the same. We had a slight advantage in that a lot of what the big rock groups heard, was much more easily accessed and we had more variety. Groups such as LZ, the Stones, the Dave Clark Five, the Kinks, the Who and many others had to scrounge and scrabble for what would be common here in the States. Plus we had fresh stuff found quite a bit earlier than most, being a "big city" as it were. And it always helped if there musically oriented family to introduce new material. I had tried to form a band as a young teen with friends, due in part to my grandma constantly giving me albums she favored. My first gifted records from her were Elvis Presley's Greatest Hits and Ray Charles sings Country and Western. My friends and I literally played those albums to death. Wore them out. And it was during this time, groups like Wishbone Ash and the Temptations were making an appearance. Pete Brown's group Fleetwood Mac was making a name for itself, pre- pop stage. B.B King stated Pete Brown was the only musician that gave him 'goosebumps'. Great times and even greater music. Our band never got off the ground since most of us had extremely restrictive parents and we just couldn't up and go whenever, so...we resigned ourselves to be audience to a musical revolution. As a suggestion for what to 'experience', you might wish to delve into the formative years of the late 60's and the groups the helped start the revolution...Cream, Jeff Beck Group, the Yardbirds, Faces, King Crimson, Steve Windwood, Frijid Pink, Atomic Rooster( caution: hardcore metal rock), Thin Lizzy, Steppenwolf, the Kinks, Blue Cheer and the list is quite long. But these groups all made an impact. Granted, some weren't as blues oriented as others but their contributions were powerful and pervasive! Hope that gives some pause for thought! Great video. Thank you for sharing!
The best part about John's drumming is that this is WAY before all the double kick pedals and such...it was just him...out-stinking-standing tune! Thanks man!
This was their first song that was heard on the Radio. Listen to the Bass Drum ! he was 20 years old, amazing. and to think many producers said he was "Un-recordable" Jimmy Page knew Drumming and was not going to allow John Bohnams Drumming to be suppressed. Jimmi Hendrix said, "He has a Leg like a Jack Rabbit". The truth is the Beatles decided to hang it up when Led Zeppelin came on the scene.
They influenced so many Rock bands and Rock subgenres, outside the Classic Rock Genre as well, everything from Hard Rock and Metal to Modern Rock, Alt Rock and Grunge. Even today young bands are trying to imitate them.
When you are done with the mighty Zep, you need to do something on The Jimi Hendrix Experience. You’ll be blown away by Hendrix, especially Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) and All Along the Watchtower.
@Jc Coast - STB has done many Jimi Hendrix reactions over a year ago when he was Artist of The Month. He hasn’t reposted back on YT yet but there are some still on his Vimeo Channel.

I can't think of any rock group,, meaning from AtoZ that could cover over so many different levels of just being themselves and share ideas and make music from what they sheared together in the studio and it worked for them.. Their ingredients for making awesome music was never the same on any album and that's what makes them unique!❤😎👍
STB you are right about the influences of older blues tracks. there was much criticism about plagiarism of their first album. If you had an early print of the album, the band didn't give the credit to the original artist, by after growing disdain but some people the newer re releases and a court settlement the artists of the songs are now credited. there are videos out there showing the original songs and LZ versions, one that comes to mind is Joe Rogan and Howard Stern is another.
I have always thought that Led Zepp were greatly inspired by Blues. It is interesting when you talk about the "verbiage" in Blues songs. The same can also be argued regarding Folk music. The same themes come up time and again.
I'm revisiting all your reactions. 😁 I'm finishing up LZ1 but I can't find a reaction to Black Mountain Side - the instrumental. Can you give me a link to it or tell me where it is? Thanks very much!!!!
I know this is a repost of the beginnings of your Zeppelin journey,and I know you've gone through much since you saw this. One of the big differences between early and later is Robert's abilitiy as a lyricist. by the third album, his lyrics are world-class, and then they go up from there.
Majority of their songs off of the first 2 albums were from previous songs. ......they just made them 100 times better. .......you should do Bring It On Home off of ZEPPELIN 2
@Joey Lacour - STB has already reacted to Bring it on Home. He hasn’t reposted to YT yet. It is on his Vimeo page. Here is the link to the reaction: vimeo.com/321900297
Bro, when you will react to the best prog rock band of all time - early Genesis. You will not regret. It will be mind blowing expirience. React to "Firth Of Fifth" by them for example. You will see
Even early in their career, you hear the excellent musicianship, powerful breaks, great arrangements. Pure Zep
YES!
A great first song on their debut album.
In the beginning all was darkness...then...as a gift to us all ...Led Zeppelin came into being..and there was light..
I Hear what You Hear and You See what I See and we'll are All Brothers in the Eyes of God!!! Peace Out.... T$
Your insightfulness is so spot on. I applaud you and your music appreciation. Remember "music appreciation" in school in the 60s?

My second time around with this review! But I love how u picked up the old lyrics of the blues in this journey early❤️

You have to do Chicago's first album. One of the greatest albums ever. And just stupendous musicianship.

Regarding John Bonham as the best drummer you've ever heard, I agree with you 100%, man.
Hi. Not to text this too much , but; Fishbones live on SNL. Pay special attention, please, to the live guitarist. Thanks. Nice your back.
epic

I know you've already heard all the studio stuff I'm curious now how much they've influenced you in your daily life, do you listen to them daily?
Yes
Soul Train Bro Love your content man! Great insight to these songs!
I've been listing to them daily since my pre teen years and watching these reactions bring me back to my youth so thank you bro you ain't no guppy
I'm confused STB. Are you back on UA-cam or are you still on Vimeo...or both? Love your reactions and thoughtful reflections.

obligatory 'music is subjective' reminder

He's reacted to everything up to Poor Tom from Coda. The only one he didn't post was The Crunge as he wasn't keen on it.
Maybe..Plants' old record company went broke....
