![First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin "When the Levee Breaks" [ REACTION ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uqDd7M-S_fA/mqdefault.jpg)
How many layers of greatness does it take to make a tune like this?
Answer, ALL OF THEM.
Nobody does it like Zeppelin!! The one and only!! Greatest band to ever grace the planet! I'm 64 and I've loved them since I was 10!
Bonham's stairwell was in Hedley Grange - an old English country house where the band had gone for a musical retreat. I believe this is the most sampled drum pattern ever.
It's listening to this song that brought me into being a real Led Zeppelin fan. I was alive when they were touring but I was a kid and listening to lighter music. Now when I'm much older and I've known loss, it is this music that speaks to me and makes my ears hunger for more. It's so aurally rich.
When the Levee Breaks, Playing for Change cover featuring John Paul Jones on bass...CHILLS!!!!
One of the best songs of all time by the best band of all time.
I'm not even halfway through the video. I just wanted to highlight what I think sets this reaction apart from a lot of others I have seen from Ken.
This one is genuinely right in his wheelhouse. You can tell how much joy he is receiving from listening, appreciating, and describing all the little details/nuances. There is no telling how many times he has probably listened to this already in his time. Yet, he is still so genuinely happy to dive back into it all for us to see.
I thought it was a great change-up to see Ken react to something that was his choice. I think it would be great to see similar reactions/analyses in the future.
Thanks for your checking out Led Zeppelin ❤
There will never be another Led Zeppelin…the GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Perhaps the most influential drum beat of all time!!!!
You really need to give a listen to the version of this from playing for change. You will not be disappointed.
It was recorded in a 18th century stone building called Headley Grange. The drums were in the lobby with a three-storey timber staircase. The mikes we placed up the staircase . Various effects were used to get the final sound. Page always sought a live sound in the studio which simply recording live in a studio did not deliver. The space was too small to get the depth. This extra effort means Zeppelin recordings made 50 years ago remain impressive even up against the latest techniques.
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Just found your channel. You seem to love LZ as much as I do so I’m checking out your content. I was in my teenage years during Led Zeppelin’s 12 years. Still loving them all this time. Their music takes you on a journey. You feel it in your soul. Best Rock/Blues band ever. Each individual was the best at their instrument/voice in Rock. As a band - out off this world. Then Jimmy Page’s vision, experimental music, and outstanding production. For me, they are and will always be GOAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥
was lucky enough to have seen them in the mid 70s.
I discovered Led Zeppelin after I started high school in 1981 and I was completely mesmerized by them. Ah, the memories.💖
What a groove and what a reaction - great❣
Great reaction, Ken. Have you reacted to their 1973 Madison Square Garden performance of Since I've Been Loving You? It's incredible.
That is their greatest live performance, I absolutely love it, you can feel their passion in that song.
Absolutely love that you are doing something YOU love!! And what an awesome choice ~ Zeppelin is the epitomy of awesomeness!! Happy Friday!
I was 12 when Zep 1st hit the scene. Still have original 1-6 albums in vinyl. #blessed
Bonzo sets the groove like no other drummer he was amazing
The Hammer of the Gods!
The spot where the bass drops down an octave at 12:49 is always the part I wait for - it adds an entirely new "heaviness" (for lack of a better word) to an already heavy song. It's like a giant boulder slowly rolling over and crushing everything in its path. It doesn't need to go any faster to get the job done.
I think it’s called a Binson echo - creates that double hit effect - check out Rick Beato’s video on this. Nice reaction! Great comments about the lyrics versus the primal nature of the music. Zeppelin was the greatest at marrying the sound and feeling the song with the subject matter. In Levee, you literally feel like a poor father desperately trying to save his family in a Hurricane in the Delta. Similarly, the opening phased whooshing sound of Kashmir sweeps you into a new exotic world. That’s artistry man.
Ramble On is my number one LZ dong, though Ten Years Gone, The Rain Song and Thank You are very close behind. Then everthing else, by LZ , of course.
The ebb and flow of the song’s tempo is like the ebb and flow of a river.
Great reaction. I think this is one of my favourite song of theirs.
One thing amazing about this song is that the rhythm section was recorded and then SLOWED DOWN. That's how in the pocket they were -- the pocket survives being slowed down. The vocals were laid down afterwards on the slowed down backing track.
I needed this today, Ken. This is one of their best.
OMG, Ken, you are definitely rocking. I love this side of you and this is a killer tune to rock out while cooking all at the same time.
My favorite Led song! It’s just hard, nasty and soooooo groovy! :)
omg, ken, ........ you are so cute when you nerd out. transported me back to my 20's with led zepplin, robert plant, that tremendous rif (and just a mention of james brown...bow down). def put me in the groove. thanks for the trip.
"Swampy"... I absolutely LOVE that... and I'm borrowing it as well. My go-to saying for this type of music is"dirty, sticky" but I will easily be able to say "dirty, swampy" instead, lol! Thank you for this reaction and the new phrase as well! ❤
Hands down, THE best rock band on earth. Genius. Also loved Jimmy Pages' stint with the Black Crowes.
In my opinion this is the best led song ! Drums 🥁 😊
Not one of the first songs people generally think of when they think of LZ, but this is one of my favorites of theirs.
This is one of my favorites great reaction
A perfect circle covered this :) pretty damn good too! As MJKs band covers are 🤩
Love Led Zepplin and Deep Purple as well...nothing like them
Agree!. For me, however, live is Purple, studio was always Zeppelin. And this song is a great example of why.
Robert kinda blows my mind too❤❤❤❤
CORVYX "My Heart Will Go On" Those high notes are pure and I love it! Do them next!
Time to get the Led out!!
That is an AMAZING song... I have it on one of my lists... Thank You! 💙💙💙💙💙
I had heard the song a few years before it grabbed me in a quarry with some friends in the 80s . Do we swim? Yep. Do we dive from the ledge? Nope. Too dangerous. 😂❤
You should check out the original version by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy recorded in 1929. It was about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927,
Yes
Turn it up
A lot.
There was a lot of production on this song. Bonzo's drums were set up in the entrance hall of Headley Grange, the former workhouse the band was living, rehearsing, and recording in and they had mics placed around and hanging above the drum kit to create the distance micing effect of capturing ambient room noise (distance = depth) to help get that amazing sound while also feeding it through a Binson Echorec and compressing the final product. Jimmy uses a slide to help give the guitar that stretchy sound and he and Jonesy used a modal structure to give the droning tone. Reverse echo was added to the harmonica and various effects were added to the vocals. If all this weren't enough, the vocals stayed at the same speed, however the instruments were slowed a half step in production to further assist with the sludgy, back water blues style sound. Robert was 22 when this was recorded. Any time you've really enjoyed the production on a song, thank Jimmy Page since he produced all the albums.
Actually Robert Plant was 22. Jimmy Page was 26.
@@HollisDuty60 You are correct; Robert would have been 22 when it was recorded and 3 months into his new age of 23 by the time the album was released in November of 1971. Thanks for the keen eye. 🙂
One of my all time favorites. For a change, you shouldve reacted to Plant's cover of this he does with Alison Kraus. Had the pleasure of seeing it last summer during their tour and along with Battle of Evermore. Could be another suggestion?
The song that got me into Zeppelin…later sampled on Rhyme’in & Stealin? (Beasties)
When the Levee Breaks is a cover by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929! It's about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927!🤨
Why does no one recognize JPJ's baselines??!!
Robert Plant is a great harmonica player!!
🔥🔥🔥
Actually zeppelin IV came out in 1971
❤
4 sticks is a great vocal track
Robert singing in real time, while the music is slowed down. Harmonica is played with an echo effect with the echo played back first. Jimmy is often overlooked as a producer.
The 4th Led Zeppelin was released on November 8, 1971, not 1970.
Speaking of James Brown, check out the The Crunch. It's on the same album.
You should check out It Might Get Loud, a 2008 American documentary film by filmmaker Davis Guggenheim. It's got Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White, and Jimmy Page talks about when they recorded the drums for When The Levee Breaks.
Greetings from Portugal! Please. Please. Pleeeeease hear the version that A Perfect Circle has made, especially the Live at Red Rocks. Beautiful! Keep rockin'
The harmonica almost sounds like a train whistle.
As great as R&R will get
I think we have to bow down to Jimmy Page, the greatest composer and producer of heavy guitar rock of all time. He’s responsible to for getting this monster off the ground.
Yep, and it was he who founded LZ, when he left the Yardbirds. Called themselves the New Yardbirds, then realised they needed to break from that moniker and become Led Zeppelin. Surprised Ken didn't mention Jimmy at all 🤔
Sir, present and future rock stars; 3 sisters from Mexico called The Warning. Check out their VMA performance of Evolve. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks
This was so great. We are kindred spirits, this song sends to a place no other piece of music does.
If you haven't seen It May Get Loud, I HIGHLY Recommend it. Its a documentary by Jack White with him, Jimmy Page and The Edge. Absolutely riveting. Here's a clip of Jimmy talking about recording the drums for this song. I love that he calls him Bonzo ❤

Rick beato explains the drums
Robert Plant has more so had the greatest vocals, still really sounds great, but the early years took a toll on his vocal cords. How he could change range so quick, & so effortlessly beautiful, is why he’s the greatest. Sorry Freddy Mercury isn’t quite the same league, close just not quite.
Plant's NASTY blues harmonica should not be over-looked on this classic but it usually is for some reason.
How could four young white English lads produce such a bluesy swampy vibe?
what is the underlying droney sounding instrument that does the nnnnnnnnn, nnn, n, nnn, ,n, nnnnn.
Sir can you react nagumo song from the movie chitram
Echorec
Jimmy Page can mix a record! Funny, but this is just as good live! 😏
Swampy
I never understand why reactors revisit songs they've already heard and jammed to. Part of the excitement from our end is to watch somebody see something for the first time. Use me as an example. I've heard every song available so I dont do reaction videos because I've already heard it. Nobody wants to watch me wiggle and jiggle on point to a song I already know. That's like watching someone who as already seen Back to the Future and try to pretend and guess that mom will likely fall in love with her son early on in the reaction. Just saying. Love your vids btw unless you've already heard it.
what a great song.. just went down the rabbit hole on the backstory of the 1927 flood and all the political greed that went on.. pretty sad.
You’ve got to spell the name correctly or you’ll miss the algorithms.
Zeppelin not Zepplin
