Robert Plant is the singer, Jimmy Page is the guitar player, John Paul Jones is bass player and John Bonham is the drummer. For me this song seriously rode the groove of Bonham's drumming...R.I.P. Bonzo! Keep going on with the Zep reactions...many many great songs!
Four of the GREATEST musicians to ever walk the earth... Robert Plant vocals harmonica, Jimmy Page guitar, John Bonham drums and the genius John Paul Jones bass guitar and keyboard.
Wow, you are on a roll with this one, dear lady, one of the best, hypnotic, blues rock jams ever. Robert Plant is killer on the harmonica and the band just settles in this atmospheric heavy groove that does me every time. For more of their amazing chops, try Since I've Been Loving You Live, from the Song Remains the Same soundtrack. Watch that video and be amazed! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
@@juliemanarin4127 if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?, I was born in 1959, I grew up on all of this music , back then most of it was about love & togetherness nowadays most of it seems to be about hate, & greed.
[What is and what should never be] by Led Zeppelin Is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song if I was to ever claim one as being there all good it's hard to tell which one's better
The way you feel after you are one Led Zeppelin song after another and after another the way you feel it takes you to a different place and I think that's what's called getting the Led Out
"When The Levee Breaks" finishes off side two of Led Zeppelin's fourth album. Time to flip the record over and listen to it again from the beginning! Dig how the shuffle in the bridge disrupts the hypnotic charge of the minor dirge that drives most of the song with some major chord carnage -- "Oh, don't it make you feel bad \ When you're trying to find your way home \ You don't know which way to go \ If you're going down south, they got no work to do \ If you're going north to Chicago\ Ah, ah, ah, hey" ... The video showcases fire, but the song is about water. Back in the day the record cover was what there was visually to accompany the music. That album featured runes, robes, and lanterns in keeping with "Stairway to Heaven" and "The Battle of Evermore". "When the Levee Breaks" was recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. That version is heartfelt but very old time in style and recording quality. The contrast between the versions -- more than forty years apart -- is like that between a lonely 40 watt light bulb lighting up a porch on a dark night and an electrified-amplified-neon lit boulevard packed with people grooving to the vibe.
I so enjoy watching you groove along to this great blues rock jam. Even better hearing you say how you are becoming a Led Zeppelin fan. They were such an important part of my youth.
Keep the Zeppelin coming - you won't be sorry. This is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song - Jimmy talked about the entry way stairwell that had a new drum kit set up where they were making the album at Hedley Grange and that huge sound of those heavy drums changed the way drummers thought about recording forever.
Robert Plant is the lead vocalist and also plays the harmonica. I'm so glad you're becoming a Led Zeppelin fan! I remember when I was discovering their music and how they became my favorite band at the time. Such talented musicians, and they weren't afraid to break new ground often.
That opening drum beat has to be one of the best of all time. Led Zeppelin 4 (or Zoso) is a great album. This is the very last song on it. Great way to end an LP listening spree. Other great songs of this album are "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" , "Misty Mountain Hop" and of course "Stairway to Heaven". Although you can't go wrong with any track on the album.
So glad you’re a fan. This band was just beginning when I returned from the Nam. Robert and I are the same age and the first album they put out was mine. I spent the years passing by without ever getting tired of them. Oh, and the harmonica was done by the singer,Robert Plant. It’s great to share my band with a new generation.;)
KUDOS to you , for Knowing that You heard a Harmonica!! You would be Surprised just How Many Reactors have No Idea that's a Harmonica, being Played by The Lead Singer Robert Plant! He Did the Vocals first, then went back later to Record the Harmonica parts! Great Reaction Dear!
As I recall, you reacted to Stairway to Heaven live version. That's good but the guitar work of studio version (on same album as this song) is perfection and more polished. Studio version was the hit and perhaps the greatest song of the rock era. I suggest, therefore, that you react to studio version of Stairway to Heaven. btw, the version of Levee that you played here is the original best I can tell
One of my FAVORITES! This Zep song came out (late 60s) when I moved to a small 'levee' town in extreme NE LA (after my Mom died) where my Dad still lived. Where I was born, by the way! Researched it and discovered a very much earlier (1920s) version not by Zep!
I knew you'd love Zep from your first reaction so long ago to Since I've Been Loving You which almost brought you to tears. The drum patterns from this song were some of the most sampled in early hip hop. Singer Robert Plant also plays the harmonica. Guitarist Jimmy Page created the band and produced all their albums. Multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones played bass, keys, and mandolin, and John "Bonzo" Bonham was their legendary drummer. As you read, this song is a reworking of the original song recorded in 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy about the flood of the Mississippi Delta in 1927. It was part of the Great Migration which saw more African Americans come North for better opportunities ("go to Chicago"). There was a lot of production on this song. Bonzo's drums were set up in the entrance hall of this great estate building they were staying in and recording their album from. They had mics placed around and hanging above the drum kit 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. This song is a groove, it's menacing, it hits hard, almost bludgeoning you with intensity while the circular drone carves furrows in your brain. Masterpiece. Their music is seductive...one step too far and you'll be down the rabbit hole - welcome!!
It warms my heart to hear you say you are becoming a Led Zeppelin fan . you add class and beauty to our fan club for sure . only about 100 or so songs to catch up . welcome
Hi Angela, Thank God this is Phoneworthy! My Favourite Zep track bar none, The musicianship just the whole vibe really, It was recorded at Headley Grange on Surrey/Hampshire border about 10 miles away from me, They used the back staircase to get the echoey drums & like you say the Harmonica is Sublime Cheers Jim, Surrey X
Robert Plant...vocals/harmonica Jimmy Page...guitarist/Theramin John Bonham...drummer and occasional back up singer John Paul Jones...bass/keyboards/mandolin/synth/anything else needed
So, LED ZEPPELIN has many, many great songs that are above average amazing....but this song.....is THE CREAM OF THE CROP......absolutely my favorite ZEPPELIN song and always will be. Play it loud!!!✌😊
I've never thought much about having a favorite song, because with so much to enjoy, it seems pointless. But when that thought does enter my head, this is definitely one of the first songs I think of!
The drummer, John Bonham, creates the most interesting time signatures. A lesser band would devolve into chaos. But they're so tight. Very atmospheric song. Sad, reminds me of Katrina.
As Many Are Caught Somewhere On That Stairway To Heaven... Heroes Were Built On This Levee of Heavy Blistering Wave- Gravity Seems To Bust At The Seams With Every Heavy Crash... and Those Monsterous Vocals Carry Heavy In The Wind-
This was written just after the great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Recorded a number of times, still love it. (edit) This song is much better than the original to modern ears, the original by Memphis Minnie (I believe) was a slow blusey number, recorded on 1928 equipment.
Drum beat infamous. Used by Rick Rubin for the Beastie Boys 'Rhymin and Stealin'. But everything about this track is just delicious. Definitely one of my favorites from Led Zeppelin. Thank you for the reaction.
Yep.... the drum intro by Bonham maybe the best Classic Rock drum intro ever, this is a very "bluesy" tune, and.... if you like Robert Plants vocals, you should hear his solo chit....I recommend "29 Palms....Big Log.... In The Mood.... Ship Of Fools"... those 4 alone you'll love....
The sound techs and engineers and producers did something that just can't be reproduced with this song. They put mics in weird places all around this castle. Like mics hanging from the ceiling with the drums down stairs and Plant in the shower upstairs. All sorts of crazy shit. They drilled holes in floors, walls, ceilings all sorts of crazy shit to get the echo's and such. It's crazy all the shit they did for this one...
It’s a terrible storm, the moanful sound of the wind(harp & guitar) The unrelenting pounding if the surf(drums) with cymbal crashing waves And the wind down of the storm like a top losing speed Watch them play this live in 1971 at 19 years old. Album only out for few months Magical night 🎊😎🎸 Song is over 50 years old. Match it with today?
Robert (Percy) Plant plays a pretty mean mouth harp. Also featured on a fantastic 'one take' (18 days total, rehearse/record, mix, done) album called Presence while ole Percy was in a wheelchair from recovery of a near fatal car accident. Also, another awesome video is The Song Remains The Same/ The Rain Song (I believe avail)
This song is a masterpiece in tension. To me it's more Bonzo on the drums that drives it but of course it's all of it together but yeah man that harp is definitely a core element of this song. What an amazing texture that we know from Blues but they interface it with whatever this is so well. It's so hypnotic.
It was written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The original record is a good country/blues tune for the time but sounds quite a bit different from the Zep version since it was just one vocal and 2 guitars recorded on the primitive equipment of the day. It's on UA-cam if you get curious.
It’s true the neon rabbit the original does sound different but just as good in a different way in fact the original if it wasn’t for the original Led Zeppelin we’ve never done this song….. the cover
The major chord change and the subsequent riff in this song is the most sublime thing you could listen to in music, actually in any kind of music at any time in history. Although I'm not a huge Zep fan, in my book this masterpiece deserves the top spot in terms of intensity, atmosphere, musicianship and even historical importance.
You should really check out a few tracks on their first album. Great blues tracks. “Babe I’m gonna leave you” “I can’t quit you babe” “How Many more times””You Shook me”. Robert Plant is the lead singer. Jimmy Page on Guitar, John Bonham on drums and John Paul Jones on almost all other instruments. Robert plays harmonica.
Yep great harmonica work by Robert and yeah his voice late 60's early 70's was the best in the business, epic beats courtesy of Bonzo ... The Harmonica along with the steel guitar was fundamental to much rural and later on electric blues through the last century and probably before, then the genre, the feel, the harmonica was picked up by a group of English musicians in the 60's like Zeppelin, Cream, the Rolling stones and many many more ..... a gorgeous folk song that uses the 'harp' the harmonica is Neil Young - Heart of Gold , the live version is sooo good .... well worth a reaction i think you will love it and, You are Lovely as always 🤩
The Great Mississippi Flood Of 1927,, The Most Destructive Flood In U.S. History,, Water In Some Places Reaching Over 30 Feet..R.I.P. To The 500+ Souls Lost On That Day🙏❤
Don't know when you released this, but the Led Zero members are: Robert Plant on vocals (and harmonica); Jimmy Page on guitar; John Bonham on drums; and John Paul Jones on keyboard/bass. You asked about Queen. Freddie Mercury on vocals and piano; Brian May on guitar; John Deacon on bass; Roger Taylor on drums.
The GOATS! You have to do them from album one, song one. I do believe the original was 1926. It’s delta blues! That is where L.Z. Thrives! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Oh yeah, that’s Robert Plant the singer playing the Blues Harp aka Harmonica!
Good to see you becoming a Zeppelin fan. They had so many great tracks. Another great track by a band called Scorpions is Send Me An Angel. You are a beautiful lady that makes this man's heart skip a beat. Would love to take you for a ride on my Harley. Peace ...
Robert Plant is the singer, Jimmy Page is the guitar player, John Paul Jones is bass player and John Bonham is the drummer. For me this song seriously rode the groove of Bonham's drumming...R.I.P. Bonzo!
Keep going on with the Zep reactions...many many great songs!
And Robert Plant is also playing a mean ass harmonica to boot! And Page is doing some serious magic in the studio too. Talk about nailing a mood.
This song has that echo/delay going on with Bonham's drums, lotta lore about how it was done JP finally said they used a Binson Echorec.
JPJ is also the keyboardist...mandolin player and anything else needed. Robert plays the harmonica
Bonham's kick drum kicks ass. What a HEAVY beat. Great.
Four of the GREATEST musicians to ever walk the earth... Robert Plant vocals harmonica, Jimmy Page guitar, John Bonham drums and the genius John Paul Jones bass guitar and keyboard.

Could not have said it better . & Well done ! Day One ! . . . becoming a Zeppelin fan ? Too late - they already got you :)
Nice reaction...you only have about a hundred more zeppelin tunes to go!
You would absolutely adore the harmonica in Led Zeppelin- You shook me. Even better.
Robert Plant also plays the harmonica. I listened to the original recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929 and it's quite good.
For DECADES I did not know it was a cover. Credit to Zeppelin for pulling it out of obscurity and polishing it up.
Just like the Beatles you can't go wrong with this group.
Better than Beatles!

Watching You Swerve to This Masterpiece - while Championing The Mouth Harp in Your Movements was Sublime. Thanks 💕💕💕💕💕
John Bonhams drums breathe more life into this tune than any crazy solo's could ever do!
Everything they do is magnificent!! Robert Plant sings and the harmonica!!

I could never choose a favorite!
Ditto
Robert Plant, the lead singer, is the harmonica player as well. This is also one of the most sampled drum tracks in rock history.
If you loved this song, next try "Kashmir", the studio version. I believe you can't go wrong with that one either!
"Stairway to Heaven" - a MUST.
The drummer, John Bonham, creates the most interesting time signatures. A lesser band would devolve into chaos.
But they're so tight. Very atmospheric song. Sad, reminds me of Katrina.
