      i doubt you will find a song you don't like...each musician is acknowledged as top 5 ever in rock...front man (plant); lead guitar (page); bass/keys/instrumentalist (JPJ); last but not least, greatest drummer of all time, Bonzo...no other band can say that...from Beatles to Nirvana...also, they only played live with these four guys (excluding Celebration Day Concert)...no other singers, no other instrumentalists or players, no other guitarists...simply the best - I would recommend "In My Time of Dying" live (which I know you don't prefer, but trust me, you'll understand) from the 1975 Earls Court show...i'm an old guy, so i don't have instagram or those fancy app's...i will send you some cash if i can ever figure out how to do so...thanks!!!

    "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
    "When the Levee Breaks" was re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on their untitled fourth album.

    Yes, that's Robert Plant (vocalist) on harmonica. A levee is a dam that holds back water. When it breaks, there's a flood.

    Epic drum riff by Bonzo. One of the most heavily sampled track ever.
    The boys in Zeppelin idolized and emulated the great American blues masters. Willie Dixon, lead belly, Robert Johnson, Howlin’ wolf, blind Willie Johnson to name a few, all were huge influences.
    Check out , “ Since I’ve Been Loving You”
    I suggest the studio version first and then the live at MSG concert. That is none other than Robert Plant on the harp. He’s very good 👍🏽
    ENJOY!!!!!

    Ever since Hurricane Katrina, this song always reminds of what happened in New Orleans. Several levees broke, and sent many entire neighborhoods 10-15 feet of water, forcing people onto their roofs.

    NO that don’t have a bad song, there may be a couple you don’t like as much, but it certainly won’t be a bad song. These 4 guys put their heart & souls into every song, & especially their amazing talent. Each is the GOAT of their craft, together they are ROCK BLUES etc. GODS!

    When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the levee's (walls built out of stone, or steel to divert river waters in flooding prone areas. Quite often, flood waters break or flow over levee walls.

    Very cool that you (finally) listened to a studio recording of a Led Zeppelin song. Based on your history, it appears that this is your first. I haven't seen any of your previous Led Zeppelin videos because it appears up until now, you've only reacted to live Led Zeppelin. Me personally (and I'm not alone), I won't watch a reaction to a live Led Zeppelin song unless I know the reactor has heard the studio version of that song first. I highly recommend checking out studio recordings of Led Zeppelin songs before delving into any future live recordings of the same song. Led Zeppelin were very improvisational, and to get a true understanding of the magic and power within their songs, it's always better to listen to the studio recordings first. I highly, highly recommend revisiting and doing fresh reactions to the studio recordings of the songs "Stairway to heaven" and "Since I've Been Loving You" which are two of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. One listen to those studio recordings and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. It will open your eyes.
    Peace

    A levee is an earthen dam that holds back rising waters. Most American are familiar with the levees around New Orleans which broke after Katrina. This song is form the late 1920. It’s about the levee breaches that inundated a large portion of the United States during the Mississippi flood of 1927.

    I really don't think you have a clue about what you just heard!!! If you're going to react to a song and there's a word in the title you don't understand there's this thing called Google and it can tell you lots of stuff about the song so you don't need to be confused. This is a serious song about an epic disaster that affected thousands of Black Americans who were forced to leave their state and move from the country to Chicago which was a totally different life for them. Part of your history you should be proud of.

Now there's a joke with us older folks that poor Robert plant can't keep a woman.... You know cause he can get a woman he wants... Just a little back story for ya ...

    No offence, but Google is your friend... if you are reacting to a song and they use a word you are not familiar with, you can just google "define levee" for a definition before continuing with the song, this would help you understand the meaning.

    honestly, their worst song is probably Whole Lotta Love
    the riff is too repetitive for most taste even though the guitar solo is really cool, the drumming,, the base, and vocals are great.
    But, the lyrics are terrible. inane lyrics
