Classic zep..... Been listening to it for 50+years and today sounds as good as day 1. You think they'll be playing Cardi B and Drake 50 years from now?
I'm not particularly happy about getting old. Some things still work well in your body and..well... some take time to adjust. But I'm damn happy that I was there to hear this LP when it first came out. It was a monumental moment for me. I'm a teenager every time I hear it once again. And that's a good day for me.
OLD AGE is ."THAT BIG FAT GOLD NUGGET " of LIFE ! ...been around long enough,to SMILE ABOUT WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT ... So SAL economos ,what age we talking ? 80 or younger ...70 or more ..! ...IF you WAKE UP EVERY MORNING ! ...BE HAPPY ! ....due to the simple fact....that thousands DON*T ? .........also ,..infants , children, teenagers, young adults , young mothers & fathers ,.....GET HAPPY STUPID !

@@lamonttbear5817I SAW THEM THAT YEAR AS WELL BUT IT WAS IN SEATTLE AT THE KINGDOME. THERE WAS SO MUCH HASHISH BEING SMOKED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THE PLACE WAS ON FIRE WHEN THEY LET PEOPLE OUT
I was listening to this album 50 years ago. I'm listening to it right now with headphones for the first time. I feel like I just discovered a brand new album... Sooooo cool 🤘
Right ON, man! Really; There needs to be a special Hall Of Fame for JUST this one album. This ONE masterpiece British rock interpretation of American Blues.
I was 3 wen they came out. I also share bonham birthrate...different year though. this was also the first album I ever bought with my allowance. 2nd album was dark side of the moon. blessings
Only because it wasn't fresh in '69 either. 🙂 How can '20s blues rip-offs be fresh fifty years later? They just did the heavy arrangements, kudos for that.
@wloonie: correct, they’re the “best cover band” of all time for doing fantastic covers expertly rearranged for hard rock. Someone posted 6 videos here documenting their albums and which 20’s blues artist’s material was used.
i was 18 years old in the army in highlands new jersey in 1969.....young, nervous, no experience of any kind....fellow soldier turned me on to this music and it changed my life and fast....june 69 got arrested for pot and spent 4 months in the fort dix stockade....i am now 71 in east texas and blaring this at full volume......never gets old
good story my friend. Im 61!!!....my buddy miles teleschi got popped for pot in 70 or 1970 I think, and the judge said: "Jail or the army".....he chose the army, and, you know what? he wound up in key west!!!.....a year in the service, and then laying back in key west....you ten years older guys are the coolest!!!!
I was late to the game, but what a game it has been. I moved from the hinterlands of Montana to L.A. in 1979, going in to my sophmore year of high school. In Montana, back then, you really had just 3 choices of music; pop, country AND western. I'll tell you, just L.A. rock radio was a revelation to me. Then one fall day some people in a club I had joined took me to the midnight movies. No Rocky Horror for this group, we saw The Song Remains the Same. I can still feel that moment in time, when my world shifted. Suddenly, the years of listening to my parent's albums of classical, blues and folk all lined up in one stupendous moment. It was all over after that. I love music, all kinds, my music portfolio is varied and deep, but I always come back to the boys. They are my lodestone and touchstone and shall always be while I'm drawing breath.
I was going to see Led Zep 2x but both concerts were cancelled. First time after the death of Plant's son the show was cancelled and then when John Bonham died that show was also cancelled, both shows were scheduled for Philadelphia but didn't happen.
my father is the same age as you and he played zeppelin 2 for me when I was around 8 years old and my brain exploded... got me into playing and writing music guitar bass and drums, I am now 40 and has been the fundamental thing that has soothed me during all the struggles one has in life... epic epic group whos influence is extremely far and reaching to this day..
Hi to all, I was born in '76 and my father was A Zeppelin's big fan...Since I was in the crib, I've started to listen Led Zeppelin 'cause my father, and I've never stopped to do it. The best band ever...
Just imagine releasing Led Zeppelin I and II, two of the greatest rock albums of all time, in the same year, the first being your debut album. That's beyond amazing. Simply the greatest band that ever walked this earth.
AS MUCH AS I LIKE LED ZEPPELIN STILL WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, I DID HOWEVER GET TO SEE LED ZEPPELIN IN CONCERT, BUT I THINK IF I WOULD HAVE GOT TO SEE JIMI HENDRIX IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVERY BIT AS GOOD OF A EXPERIENCE
No. They robbed everyone. 9 out of court song settlements. They robbed everyone. "Robert Plant, - how would you describe your career?" - / "I'm a rip off artist".
I was 4 years old when this album was released. My dad had this album. I'm now 58 & I can honestly say that Zeppelin is my overall favorite band. The headliners on the soundtrack of my life. Love them so much ❤
Led Zeppelin is the Beethoven of the rock world. They were operating on a different level of artistry. They were the whole package. The creative well was always full. The talent and writing never failed, and like all great art, it will be dissected, studied, and appreciated as much in 100 years as it is today. This is what reaching your potential sounds like....and it fills my soul!
There are certain bands that you really don't cover. There're exceptions, you may do 1 or 2 of theirs but usually in a different style, so to avoid any comparisons. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi, Pink Floyd for example. Sure, you may well learn to play them, but to have the audacity to cover their material and improve on it, that takes something.
@@DrJamesFeelgood I think prince did a good job on his cover of while my guitar gently weeps, definitely improved on it. The only exception to your statement imo. Most other beatles covers suck.
I am now 70 years old. This LP was the first LP I ever bought. I couldn't even listen to it in stereo back then and I loved it. Even today this disc is an audiophile delight for me!!
@@markchristopher3049 If music says nothing it has no point to me. That is why I am a Moody Blues fan. It gets pretty boring quickly to listen to songs about love and relationships. That is why Presence to me is the best Led Zep album.
1969 Hawaii ✌️💘 we had this album of course. My husband and I first met...Led Zeppelin always on. Hendrix, Janis too. Saw Hendrix late 1969 at Waikiki Shell. First night they didn't give him the juice he wanted so 2 free concerts Saturday and Sunday night ❗❗ We were all so close. Small area. What a trip, we'll never forget. Good old hippie days ✌️💖
It spans generations. My wife and I were both born in the 80's, our parents in the 60's. The music, freedom, and most of all, the love, has been the way of life in our family. And yes tie dye, door beads, shag carpet and we even had a circle bed at one point in time. Lol
I'm 44. I have my mom's record collection with all the originals except physical graffiti I can "kinda" play along to most of it on guitar. My 10 year old daughter has been playing my old drum set. Such a treasure for us to share the music together.. Always was, always will be the greatest.
@@rickbrett4796 Master of the studio? No, by far not. He never made use of any form tape innovation and never really used any weird recording techniques (except setting up some weird backwards echo on a few songs). He was a regular guy when it came to producing. If there is a master of the studio, it's George Martin. Or Brian Wilson. But Jimmy Page? No.
As fresh as when I heard it for the first time back in 1970. I was a freshman in high school and my buddy Boog's brother turned us on to it. Having been a child of pop AM radio, this LP changed my entire perspective as to what was "good" music.
what can one say except ** THIS IS LED ZEPPELIN ** full stop am 70 and i still love listening to them even my 3 Granddaughters love listening to them Long Live Led Zeppelin
My wife and I have both turned 70. With this music we have not only grown up musically... It was our best time back then: school from 1967, apprenticeship until 1971, dance school during that time, birth of my son in 1975, oh, just wonderful! Even today, when the old bones join in, we allow ourselves to wriggle to the music... Led Zeppelin also allowed us to understand our son when he started growing up with Metallica and making music himself...
71 here in Poland. Probably I noticed the LZ I together with LZ II and it ain't easy to listen to them. Only when I got them on my tape recorder I listened to them continuously along with some others. There was more and more rock music but those were still at the top.
I HAD TICKETS TO SEE THE 1980 TOUR BUT BONHAM KICKED THE BUCKET THAT YR AND THAT TOUR WAS CANCELLED AND JUST HAD TO GET MY 10.00 BACK. WISH I HAD HELD ONTO THAT TICKET, IT MIGHT BE WORTH SOME MONEY TODAY.
I work at a radio station near Louisville, KY and I always play Zeppelin. This album is a full masterpiece and is forever gonna be on my Rock Block hours.
I grew up on Louisville radio stations! (I'm old). They always played plenty of Zep, but unfortunately the same few songs over and over. Love that you do a "rock block!" Can't cover Led Zep in just a handful of songs. xoxo
@@just4music687 You probably remember LRS102 don’t you? I remember when they closed up shop and a new station was gonna take over it’s frequency station 102.3, and they had a computer voice counting down from like 15,000 or 20000 and counted out load 20,000….19,000 9 hundred and ninety-nine…19,000 9 hundred and ninety-8, all the way to zero. That lasted what seems like a few weeks (it could’ve obviously started a lot higher like 65,000 I don’t remember). I’ve never heard of that happening before that time and still haven’t. Weird memory,lol
My pal bought this in 1969 and we played it non -stop for weeks much to the annoyance of his parents. Oh happys days young free and no worries52 years on and I am now retired and getting that feeling again as you only get one chance and I intend to take it. Long live rock and roll.
I heard it in the hallway speakers of my classical school... I was 13 y.o. ... and it felt like an acid trip. Never recovered from it... kept sinking deeper in the surreal landscape it was providing... ..Made me a happier human being..
As time goes by this album evolves as the turning point in Rock History. There is before Good Times Bad Times and there is after Good Times Bad Times. I was lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin in 1969. What a concert!
@Karie Smith It's cool you saw lasarium... It's a good show and I went there too. I got to see Led Zeppelin and many other good bands at the Seattle Pop Festival in 69. Such a cool year with many bands on their 1st and 2nd albums there like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Chicago, Santana, The Guess Who, The Byrds and several more. It was quite amazing and the first Rock Festival I went to and a month before Woodstock. 🏞️☀️🎶
the time you went thru some hustle to get an album in the next big city with an actual decent shop for buying music, alternativley a provincial shop who ORDERS it and the waiting time thrilled you^^. then at home the whole thing in your hand, the artwork, sometimes the LYRICS etc etc. today its nothing its pressing a button and after 30secs hopping to the next buttonpressing...and not giving a shit about lyrics too. its all mumblesocieties with mumblebrains
I saw them 4 times in Saiint Louis, The Rolling Sttones and Lou Reed at the Fox Theater Saint Louis, Ziggy Stardust and the Spider From Mars, Ted Nugent an the Amboy Dukes at the Meriden Ballroom, Foghat at the Stonehenge and all of the great bands live. The last bands I saw was 38 Special and Night Ranger 4th of July 2019 in Illinois. I love loud music . I will never see our hear enough great bands in my life time.
And every member of this band is in the top 5 for the best ever at their instrument. This combination of sheer musical talent individually happens once and never again.
I cant imagine discovering this album for the first time. Like, " i wonder what this band is about" after buying the album or 8-track and taking it home. Blows my mind! True legends.
I can't imagine doing it in that time and place with this as a new band/first album. I did it with other bands much later. I'm one of those people that wants to understand what just happened. Other bands, I stopped between songs and thought about it. Maybe replayed part of the song I just heard. This album on a good stereo in 1969 would have been insane. It would have taken me a week to come to terms with it. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin as a fan for 30 years, I still hear things I haven't heard before. Every album, a sonic masterpiece.
I remember hitching a ride with one of my friends back in high school, and he had just installed an eight track players, and although it was not Zepellin, but CCR, I thought, OMFG, that sounds great. We cranked up the music, rolled down the windows, and enjoyed the tasty tunes and the breeze going home after football practice. Tape was always a superior medium for music.
:)...Back in 69, you could go into a record store, in the new releases, close your eyes and grab a pile and EVERY ONE OF THEM would be amazing...I didn't start buying vinyl till 72 but; the volume of releases was INSANE during the whole 70's.. An EXPLOSION of music, the likes of which was unprecedented in human history. EVERYTHING recorded after the 70's stands on the shoulders of those giants...
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this album. It came out when I was 13. As with so many other albums I loved before and after Led Zeppelin, I had no understanding of what genre of music influenced the bands I loved when I was in my early teens. I just knew I loved the music. I'm 65; John Bonham is arguably the greatest jazz/blues influenced rock drummer of all time. Jimmy Page was a genius and made sounds come out of a guitar that nobody had ever heard before. Robert Plant's voice has such range and such an incredible sound I couldn't believe what I was here when I heard it the first few times on this album. But you don't hear that many people to talk about John Paul Jones. I just listened to the base and the organ all the way through this album. It's Jones's genius at maintaining the beat that allows the other three to riff throughout the album, especially John Bonham. Jones gets overlooked so often when people talk about led Zeppelin.
I was 15! Was so in love with this album at the time!!!! Smoking weed and listening to it was all new for me and I loved it!!!!! Best friend’s OLDER BROTHER turned us on to pot, Haha!
I think I was 16 or 17 when a friend heard this. She promptly, realizing she had struck super gold, brought the album to me to hear. Forever changed. The heaviness, the bluesiness.....I found myself. I realized who I was, what I needed and proceeded to seek more. I am 68 now and I am playing this because some fvck in Ulvade, TX did the most hideous and heinous and inhuman thing to children. I needed comfort. This album, since my teens, has wrapped me in it's magic. Peace and love to all.
ITS UP THERE FOR SURE! DEFINITLY MUSTVE BEEN CRAZY TO BE THERE WHERE THIS ALBUM DROPPED.....THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE IT BEFORE, AND NOTHING AFTER, ITS STARTED AS A HEAVY BLUEZ BAND, THEN TURNED INTO ITS OWN MONSTER! SOOOO, ORIGINAL, THEY MUSTVE SOUNDED LIKE ALIENS IN '69!
@@johnmirabile3535 actually this record was a bit of a flop when released, especially considering how much money the band got when they signed with Atlantic. Later the same year Led Zeppelin II came out though and it went to No.1 very quickly. "Whole Lotta Love" wasa huge single and then the sales of the first record took off as well.
I'm a guitar player and never really gave Page much of a chance because I was more influenced at a young age in the 70s by EVH, etc.....As I got older, only then I came to appreciate the masterful genius of Jimmy Page. I hear a lot of people try and play his songs but I cringe at most of them because they lack any feel or dynamics. Just because you can play the notes doesn't mean it sounds good. Study his timing, feel and construction of chords and leads. He is a master.
Your suggestion means nothing Jimmy Bob, musicians have stole everything from each other since the first guy beat two rocks togather, enjoy your upmanship
@@gregorycarasis9153 i like black mountain side. you shook me is too long and cant quit you baby is ok and your time is weak but all the other are freakin amazing, babe im gonna leave you is AMAZING and so as dazed and confused etc
This masterpiece of geniality and talent has 52 years !. Half a century has gone by and this songs will be just fine in any party or festive reunion nowadays. I feel pride in saying this is the music of my youth, my blosssom time to life. Damn this is just cool.
Growing up on the Doors, Van Morrison and pink floyd, and just before Nirvana did their first "Big Day Out". I was introduced to led zep by my first love, the sexiest, gentlest and mysterious of young aspiring musicians. Dark wavy hair, quiet blue eyes... tall .. lanky.. dark... . What an iconic way to get to know an album.... of course we broke up but the music stood the test of time.
Many/most debut albums are the artists' best work because 1) they've been working on it their whole lives 2) it is the only recording they ever do...bearing that in mind, this is a debut that would be nearly impossible to follow... but they kept doing it...another thing that will hurt your brain is the amount of time Plant was in LZ vs. the amount of time he has consistently been recording and performing since...
I think they were the best of the best in their individual musical instruments so together they were the ultimate. The rolling stones were great but individually would you say any of them were the best at their craft? I can't, damn good but not the best. Damn good but not the best. In my heart of hearts Led Zeppelin was the greatest and will never be topped in my lifetime. Just a damn shame Bonzo passed so early. Hard to say what they had left ,because by all accounts I read they were starting to fizzle out or separate. Maybe they just needed Time away to recharge. I know they were getting ready for a big American tour but didn't sound like their hearts were quite in it. Still with Bonham still alive today I think they would have done some more incredible things in the last 43 years for sure.
Je ne sais pas si les étoiles étaient alignées mais c’est mon année de naissance et j’apprécie tout particulièrement ce son, bref 1969 quelle belle année pour beaucoup de choses 😊😊😊😊😊
Great album! Babe Im gonna leave is the first manifestation of their genius. From just a good folk song they created a masterpiece.The first Page^s acoustic chords is the best introduction that Ive heard.I have never used drug because this music is better than any drug.Thank you Led Zeppelin for the moments of greatest pleasure !
I was 14 and grooving to the Beatles and Stones when Plant Page Jones and Bonham busted the charts ..They immediately became my band and was lucky enough to see 3 concerts ..at 67 I still enjoy listening to them rambling down the hwy in my kenworth !!!! ROCK ON KIDS
Yes! Their music quite defined my 14-yr-old music tastes back then - and horrified my mother! 😜 Heck, for a decade, I had no clue that I was listening to old Blues covers… 🤷🏻♀️ This segued into blues and R&B appreciation.
@@k.hendrickson8735 Segued into Black Sabbath for us. Zepp being the only 8 trk tapes we had among ourselves initially, they got the most playtime because we were rarely inside the house to spin the vinyl.
Saw them at memorial auditorium in Dallas Texas 2nd row seats in the middle 1972 my God they changed everybody’s lives that night what a show best concert ever will never forget so glad we grew up in this generation to bear witness to the greatest era of rock ever👍🏻👍🏻😊💕
The idea that this album could come out to negative reviews at anytime in history is astounding. Babe I’m gonna leave you sounds like a movie score. On a debut album a song that well formulated and reserved at times is incredible. Perhaps it was just to shocking a contrast from the music of the previous 5 years but this album is a masterpiece.
An absolute understatement ! Let's Face facts here , the chances are pretty damn good that you'll walk away a fan of L.Z. after hearing this album in it's Entirety than not !
People do not know how purely made, instrument based, by 3 to 4 musicians with old school tech, music is so special. It is very hard to find due to digitalization, automated, etc sound and vocals. Bring this type of sound today, we are waiting. Just 3 to 4 musicians with their instruments.
I'm a huge longtime fan of this band. and a bigtime fan of John bonham,...I share the same birthdaterry as him. I agree with you about babe I'm gona leave you, what a track. as a bonham fan my favorite track on this album is good times bad times...bonham bass drum work is simply outstanding. blessings
The overwhelming intensity of Dazed and Confused and the deep impression it caused the first time I listened to it 50 yrs ago was so huge that other great rock songs by other great bands just leave me nostalgic about it.
I listened to this album in 69 while away at boarding school. All these years later, listening to it again, I'm amazed how it's still a masterpiece. Some things just withstand the test of time. Brilliant!
To me. more so ...I look at these kids at an EDM rave and think, WTF happened to their brains? To me "That 70s Show" is a documentary. Kids today have been robbed of sitting around stoned and trying to answer the question...where is Australia anyway? Now they just hey-google and miss all the fun.
@@mrledhead68 Nice try but this 1st album came out on 01/17/69 in the USA and was a bit later from the UK you need to brush up on your research my friend.
Never has any other group put out four albums in four years that were so stunningly great, without a single "dud" filler song, of which the Beatles and Stones had plenty on their first four albums. And I can listen to them endlessly (and I have for ~35-40) years and never get tired of any of the songs on I-II-III-Zofo. The GOATs of hard/classic rock bands.
In the late 60's/early 70's, this was one of my favorite albums & Led Zeppelin was one of my favorite groups. This takes me back to my university days, sitting in a circle and passing a joint around. This brings me back to those loving experiences we all shared.
@@risseldyrosseldy910 I was listening to Beatles, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, and Hendrix. And then Led Zeppelin just suddenly appeared in the record store.
I am 63 , I took both of my children to Led Zepplin concert in Memphis about 20 year's ago, I was critized by my sister, my daughter LOVED THEM 🎶💞, my son not so much, Love Zeppelin always 💞🎶💞🎶💞💫
Born in Westminster London , im 70 this year . i remember like yesterday when ZEP Was formed after the yardbird split and jimmy took over . i seen them many times in london earls court etc . went and got zep1 in wardour st soho. it was a true landmark album for me ' i played at least 10 copies to death ' glad to say i still collect vinyl all kept Mint ' today this LP Still haunts me and gives me shivers .WONDERFUL.
Lucky Dog ain't ya. I'm 71 and never saw them. I collect vinyl. I just bought Donald Fagins The Nightfly for $550.00. Have not taken the plastic off. Never paid like that before. ULTRADISC ONE STEP PRESSING BY MFSL. Dare I open it?
The first time I heard this album was in the basement of my friend's house and I got my first kiss while it was playing...in the summer of 69, right around Aug. 17th...(while Woodstock went on in upstate NY). I was 13, going to be 14 in October...and a friend bought me the album for my birthday. A Led Zeppelin fan was born. I saw them twice at Madison Square Garden, in 1973 and again in 1977(8th row for that concert). Ive seen them in many incarnations since, but this will always remain my favorite album because of its blues roots.
you were whithin a few rows from me i had tickets for three of the shows all seats were between the 5th and tenth row best seats i ever had for a concert
Me two Took the LIRR into MSG. Had third row seats for Houses Tour. Row twelve for 73. Cost a fortune twelve dollars. Waited on line forever. Thought Plant was a freaking god strutting across stage…
Think about this for a moment...52 years ago this masterpiece was playing all over and we were rocking and we still are rocking. Yes let me go back to my teenage years just for a moment.
Actually I read the first album, and maybe number two, wasn't even available in the United States for the longest time. It wasn't till like 1970 or 71 that Zeppelin was even known in the United States. Both this album and their second album were recorded at about the same time. But of course released about a year or so apart
@@billyidol7931 this music is everything to me,,d transfixed and burnt in to my brain since my amazing mum and dad brought me home from Woodside hospital as a newborn baby girl and I played the same work of art for my 5 beautiful babies ears too 😃
MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME.....Zeppelin was so far above everyone else that the music world could not grasp or understand how. We listened to the music and stood in awe at the sheer scale and magnitude of the sounds coming from the speakers. Maybe the rumors are true.....Zeppelin conjured some sort of magic voodoo that enticed and mesmerized us all. The Mighty Zep are at the top of the HALLS OF ROCK for all time!!!!
This was one great album. I would sit by the stereo and yell out to my parents "You have to hear this song!!" I thought it was the finest music in the world. They didn't love it but I still love it to this day. Best Zep album in my opinion. xo
The best album ever. How Many More Times is beyond beyond. I have thought that since even before I sat on the stage at Kinetic in Chicago in 1969 and saw them absolutely crush that song with the best performance I have ever seen. Incredible even though it is more than 50 years later.
Being born in '76, I was lucky to have a Dad that has great taste in music. I was introduced to the splendor that is Led Zepplin early on in my life, but to sit on the stage in '69 right after this record hit is truly one of the most epic experiences I have ever heard told. Just wow. A true gem of a memory. Thanks for sharing this.
Definite pillar. Never met anyone to deny that. A lot of other popular bands either went Glam Rock or half Glam. I seldom listen to most of the 70s era anymore because of the glam. Early Zeppelin is my go too when I get tired of all the other types of music. Often!

Greetings to you also from Slovakia and yes Fireball is a killer album. Guessing you also know about Deep purple who do we think we are?
Agree 100%
That drum, that drum,... The quality of the bass line, the talent of the guitar, the diferent shapes of the voice.
An absolutely master piece.

In my 70’s now and this sounds just as fresh as it did in ‘69
Only because it wasn't fresh in '69 either. 🙂 How can '20s blues rip-offs be fresh fifty years later? They just did the heavy arrangements, kudos for that.
@@wloonie finally someone gets it
@wloonie: correct, they’re the “best cover band” of all time for doing fantastic covers expertly rearranged for hard rock. Someone posted 6 videos here documenting their albums and which 20’s blues artist’s material was used.
Long live Led Zeppelin!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes indeed!!!!!!!!!!!
@@wloonie Yeah....BUT STILL, they did it right!
i was 18 years old in the army in highlands new jersey in 1969.....young, nervous, no experience of any kind....fellow soldier turned me on to this music and it changed my life and fast....june 69 got arrested for pot and spent 4 months in the fort dix stockade....i am now 71 in east texas and blaring this at full volume......never gets old
good story my friend. Im 61!!!....my buddy miles teleschi got popped for pot in 70 or 1970 I think, and the judge said: "Jail or the army".....he chose the army, and, you know what? he wound up in key west!!!.....a year in the service, and then laying back in key west....you ten years older guys are the coolest!!!!
& still smoking pot I hope 😊

I was late to the game, but what a game it has been. I moved from the hinterlands of Montana to L.A. in 1979, going in to my sophmore year of high school. In Montana, back then, you really had just 3 choices of music; pop, country AND western. I'll tell you, just L.A. rock radio was a revelation to me.
Then one fall day some people in a club I had joined took me to the midnight movies. No Rocky Horror for this group, we saw The Song Remains the Same. I can still feel that moment in time, when my world shifted. Suddenly, the years of listening to my parent's albums of classical, blues and folk all lined up in one stupendous moment. It was all over after that.
I love music, all kinds, my music portfolio is varied and deep, but I always come back to the boys. They are my lodestone and touchstone and shall always be while I'm drawing breath.
I am 67 years old and I have seen Led Zeppelin live in concert. Even way back then I new I was experiencing rock history being made . 😎
I was going to see Led Zep 2x but both concerts were cancelled. First time after the death of Plant's son the show was cancelled and then when John Bonham died that show was also cancelled, both shows were scheduled for Philadelphia but didn't happen.
O coroa ainda colocou um emoji de óculos pra tirar onda kkkkkk
50 myself hundred percent agree
You're sitting on solid gold And listen to The legends of your father's time.
my father is the same age as you and he played zeppelin 2 for me when I was around 8 years old and my brain exploded... got me into playing and writing music guitar bass and drums, I am now 40 and has been the fundamental thing that has soothed me during all the struggles one has in life... epic epic group whos influence is extremely far and reaching to this day..
Hi to all, I was born in '76 and my father was A Zeppelin's big fan...Since I was in the crib, I've started to listen Led Zeppelin 'cause my father, and I've never stopped to do it. The best band ever...
This album is still sublime after all of these years.
THE GOLD STANDARD OF ROCK...
Just imagine releasing Led Zeppelin I and II, two of the greatest rock albums of all time, in the same year, the first being your debut album. That's beyond amazing. Simply the greatest band that ever walked this earth.
And in my opinion, they somehow managed to top those albums with the third and the fourth
"Simply the greatest band that ever walked this earth." No argument here. Nobody quite like The Mighty Led Zeppelin!!
AS MUCH AS I LIKE LED ZEPPELIN STILL WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE SEEN THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, I DID HOWEVER GET TO SEE LED ZEPPELIN IN CONCERT, BUT I THINK IF I WOULD HAVE GOT TO SEE JIMI HENDRIX IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVERY BIT AS GOOD OF A EXPERIENCE
No. They robbed everyone. 9 out of court song settlements. They robbed everyone. "Robert Plant, - how would you describe your career?" - / "I'm a rip off artist".
alway remember recorded in 68.......
Im 68 now. I can still picture myself on my drums, in my room playing to this. Makes me feel young again. Best album ever. Period
17 years old When this great album came out, 69 years old now, Music still fresh. 1 of the greatest band's. Legends, Peace & Love.

Thanks for your comments. Keep Rocking, Love & Peace. Everybody.
@@brynleyoakley6990 Beautiful sentiment.

Same here. 69. This came out when I was in high school. The older I get, the better it sounds
I was 4 years old when this album was released. My dad had this album. I'm now 58 & I can honestly say that Zeppelin is my overall favorite band. The headliners on the soundtrack of my life. Love them so much ❤
Led Zeppelin is the Beethoven of the rock world. They were operating on a different level of artistry. They were the whole package. The creative well was always full. The talent and writing never failed, and like all great art, it will be dissected, studied, and appreciated as much in 100 years as it is today. This is what reaching your potential sounds like....and it fills my soul!
100%
There are certain bands that you really don't cover. There're exceptions, you may do 1 or 2 of theirs but usually in a different style, so to avoid any comparisons. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi, Pink Floyd for example. Sure, you may well learn to play them, but to have the audacity to cover their material and improve on it, that takes something.
@@DrJamesFeelgood I think prince did a good job on his cover of while my guitar gently weeps, definitely improved on it. The only exception to your statement imo. Most other beatles covers suck.
Always said I’d be old and listening to Zeppelin and here I am.

This is one of those albums I'd love to forget then listen to for the first time. That saying, I never tire of listening to it anyway.
I am now 70 years old. This LP was the first LP I ever bought. I couldn't even listen to it in stereo back then and I loved it. Even today this disc is an audiophile delight for me!!
I love how much variety is in their first album alone. Led Zeppelin truly is the greatest rock band there ever was.

@@markchristopher3049 Now , I can understand your point....Good point at that....
@@markchristopher3049 If music says nothing it has no point to me. That is why I am a Moody Blues fan. It gets pretty boring quickly to listen to songs about love and relationships. That is why Presence to me is the best Led Zep album.
As a new teenager in 1968. this album blew my mind and changed my life forever, for the better. Pop music took a back seat from then on.
1969 Hawaii ✌️💘 we had this album of course. My husband and I first met...Led Zeppelin always on. Hendrix, Janis too. Saw Hendrix late 1969 at Waikiki Shell. First night they didn't give him the juice he wanted so 2 free concerts Saturday and Sunday night ❗❗ We were all so close. Small area. What a trip, we'll never forget. Good old hippie days ✌️💖
I'm very jealous.)
I can still smell the incense. Grew up in Venice Cali so we had hippies.
It spans generations. My wife and I were both born in the 80's, our parents in the 60's. The music, freedom, and most of all, the love, has been the way of life in our family. And yes tie dye, door beads, shag carpet and we even had a circle bed at one point in time. Lol
I was in Samoa during that time, didn't hear the album until we moved to the States in the 70's. Aloha
Sono molto orgogliosa di te
I'm 44. I have my mom's record collection with all the originals except physical graffiti I can "kinda" play along to most of it on guitar. My 10 year old daughter has been playing my old drum set. Such a treasure for us to share the music together.. Always was, always will be the greatest.
Keep it up Paul , your daughters a lucky little lady to have a Dad like you........
I still have my original double album set of Physical Graffiti if you'd like to borrow it!! LOL
Amazing first album, they kept getting better. Music of my life. I am 63 now and I never grow tired of hearing Led Zeppelin
I cannot comprehend how this was recorded in 1968.. absolutely life changing 🤘
Yes, especially since I was only 3. 😆🤣😂😃 Loved listening to this album in the late 1970s.
Part of the reason why the Sixties are so revered
Jimmy Page, master in the studio.
@@rickbrett4796 Master of the studio? No, by far not. He never made use of any form tape innovation and never really used any weird recording techniques (except setting up some weird backwards echo on a few songs). He was a regular guy when it came to producing.
If there is a master of the studio, it's George Martin. Or Brian Wilson. But Jimmy Page? No.
I cannot believe it either 1968!!
This is still one of the greatest albums in rock and roll history.

Mind blowing .....
*Music history
As fresh as when I heard it for the first time back in 1970. I was a freshman in high school and my buddy Boog's brother turned us on to it. Having been a child of pop AM radio, this LP changed my entire perspective as to what was "good" music.
Agreed.
what can one say except ** THIS IS LED ZEPPELIN ** full stop am 70 and i still love listening to them even my 3 Granddaughters love listening to them Long Live Led Zeppelin
My wife and I have both turned 70. With this music we have not only grown up musically...
It was our best time back then: school from 1967, apprenticeship until 1971, dance school during that time, birth of my son in 1975, oh, just wonderful! Even today, when the old bones join in, we allow ourselves to wriggle to the music...
Led Zeppelin also allowed us to understand our son when he started growing up with Metallica and making music himself...
The greatest debut album of any band ever.
Almost 60 years old now and have loved this album since I was 8 years old.
63 here! Rock on!
71 here in Poland. Probably I noticed the LZ I together with LZ II and it ain't easy to listen to them. Only when I got them on my tape recorder I listened to them continuously along with some others. There was more and more rock music but those were still at the top.
I'm 65 years old and I still love Zeppelin!
I HAD TICKETS TO SEE THE 1980 TOUR BUT BONHAM KICKED THE BUCKET THAT YR AND THAT TOUR WAS CANCELLED AND JUST HAD TO GET MY 10.00 BACK. WISH I HAD HELD ONTO THAT TICKET, IT MIGHT BE WORTH SOME MONEY TODAY.
Wowww!!
This album came out the year that I graduated high school. It was my favorite album then and still is 52 years later.
I'm 52 and was born in '69 and this will never even come close to being unseated, as the greatest album ever
THE best live concert I ever saw, I can still feel it in my chest

@@ericstrunck3611 Yup. Born 5 months after this record released. There has never been a moment of my life that Zep has not ruled rock and roll.
No words, for a first LP it is beyond unreal for that time, and FOREVER!!!!
Every element of this album is perfect
I work at a radio station near Louisville, KY and I always play Zeppelin. This album is a full masterpiece and is forever gonna be on my Rock Block hours.
that's amazing! my radio station sucks. they play k-pop nonstop
I grew up on Louisville radio stations! (I'm old). They always played plenty of Zep, but unfortunately the same few songs over and over. Love that you do a "rock block!" Can't cover Led Zep in just a handful of songs. xoxo
@@just4music687 You probably remember LRS102 don’t you? I remember when they closed up shop and a new station was gonna take over it’s frequency station 102.3, and they had a computer voice counting down from like 15,000 or 20000 and counted out load 20,000….19,000 9 hundred and ninety-nine…19,000 9 hundred and ninety-8, all the way to zero. That lasted what seems like a few weeks (it could’ve obviously started a lot higher like 65,000 I don’t remember). I’ve never heard of that happening before that time and still haven’t. Weird memory,lol
@@ibeatles232 I live n louisville…what’s ur station? I’ll try and tune n sometime and check it out.

My pal bought this in 1969 and we played it non -stop for weeks much to the annoyance of his parents. Oh happys days young free and no worries52 years on and I am now retired and getting that feeling again as you only get one chance and I intend to take it. Long live rock and roll.
I heard it in the hallway speakers of my classical school... I was 13 y.o. ... and it felt like an acid trip. Never recovered from it... kept sinking deeper in the surreal landscape it was providing... ..Made me a happier human being..
As time goes by this album evolves as the turning point in Rock History. There is before Good Times Bad Times and there is after Good Times Bad Times. I was lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin in 1969. What a concert!
How Many More Times are you going to post this?
@Karie Smith It's cool you saw lasarium... It's a good show and I went there too. I got to see Led Zeppelin and many other good bands at the Seattle Pop Festival in 69. Such a cool year with many bands on their 1st and 2nd albums there like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Chicago, Santana, The Guess Who, The Byrds and several more. It was quite amazing and the first Rock Festival I went to and a month before Woodstock. 🏞️☀️🎶
I was born 30 years after this master piece and I really feel led zepelin music, for me is the best rock band ever
I am glad that you have discovered Led Zeppelin. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different.
From the day this album broke through most of 70's they had no real competition for best rock band.
@@jwilliam2255 black sabbath rainbow and deep purple r just as good IMO wouldn’t say I like them more but not less either
No worries I'm 39 years young 🙃
the time you went thru some hustle to get an album in the next big city with an actual decent shop for buying music, alternativley a provincial shop who ORDERS it and the waiting time thrilled you^^. then at home the whole thing in your hand, the artwork, sometimes the LYRICS etc etc. today its nothing its pressing a button and after 30secs hopping to the next buttonpressing...and not giving a shit about lyrics too. its all mumblesocieties with mumblebrains
Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull...
That were the herous of my youth 🙂
I saw them 4 times in Saiint Louis, The Rolling Sttones and Lou Reed at the Fox Theater Saint Louis, Ziggy Stardust and the Spider From Mars, Ted Nugent an the Amboy Dukes at the Meriden Ballroom, Foghat at the Stonehenge and all of the great bands live. The last bands I saw was 38 Special and Night Ranger 4th of July 2019 in Illinois. I love loud music . I will never see our hear enough great bands in my life time.

And every member of this band is in the top 5 for the best ever at their instrument. This combination of sheer musical talent individually happens once and never again.
I cant imagine discovering this album for the first time. Like, " i wonder what this band is about" after buying the album or 8-track and taking it home. Blows my mind! True legends.
Just pressed play for the first time 👍🎧🤓😎
I can't imagine doing it in that time and place with this as a new band/first album.
I did it with other bands much later. I'm one of those people that wants to understand what just happened. Other bands, I stopped between songs and thought about it. Maybe replayed part of the song I just heard.
This album on a good stereo in 1969 would have been insane. It would have taken me a week to come to terms with it.
I've been listening to Led Zeppelin as a fan for 30 years, I still hear things I haven't heard before. Every album, a sonic masterpiece.
I remember hitching a ride with one of my friends back in high school, and he had just installed an eight track players, and although it was not Zepellin, but CCR, I thought, OMFG, that sounds great. We cranked up the music, rolled down the windows, and enjoyed the tasty tunes and the breeze going home after football practice. Tape was always a superior medium for music.
:)...Back in 69, you could go into a record store, in the new releases, close your eyes and grab a pile and EVERY ONE OF THEM would be amazing...I didn't start buying vinyl till 72 but; the volume of releases was INSANE during the whole 70's.. An EXPLOSION of music, the likes of which was unprecedented in human history. EVERYTHING recorded after the 70's stands on the shoulders of those giants...
I'm 41 heard about led zep my whole life, but never listened to them and today is the day. great album, more spaced out than I expected.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this album. It came out when I was 13. As with so many other albums I loved before and after Led Zeppelin, I had no understanding of what genre of music influenced the bands I loved when I was in my early teens. I just knew I loved the music. I'm 65; John Bonham is arguably the greatest jazz/blues influenced rock drummer of all time. Jimmy Page was a genius and made sounds come out of a guitar that nobody had ever heard before. Robert Plant's voice has such range and such an incredible sound I couldn't believe what I was here when I heard it the first few times on this album. But you don't hear that many people to talk about John Paul Jones. I just listened to the base and the organ all the way through this album. It's Jones's genius at maintaining the beat that allows the other three to riff throughout the album, especially John Bonham. Jones gets overlooked so often when people talk about led Zeppelin.
Correct, my friend!
I was 15! Was so in love with this album at the time!!!! Smoking weed and listening to it was all new for me and I loved it!!!!! Best friend’s OLDER BROTHER turned us on to pot, Haha!
Amen Brother!!!!!
dig that, JPJ's licks on the Lemon Song are totally Jazz influenced.
I agree; The base IS the backbone of the songs......and yes the keys are all so perfect too....amazing......
I think I was 16 or 17 when a friend heard this. She promptly, realizing she had struck super gold, brought the album to me to hear. Forever changed. The heaviness, the bluesiness.....I found myself. I realized who I was, what I needed and proceeded to seek more. I am 68 now and I am playing this because some fvck in Ulvade, TX did the most hideous and heinous and inhuman thing to children. I needed comfort. This album, since my teens, has wrapped me in it's magic. Peace and love to all.
Cheryl you just put a lump in my throat. Good luck to you young lady
Interesting.
Peace and love to you too.
Zeppelin will always be number 1 in my book,they accomplished a album a year and played into rock history
Agreed. Always will be my favorite, as well.
@@flsuccesscoach Thanks Brett I grew up with this music not today's music
Led Zeppelin was ahead of its time and their sound is timeless

Jeff Beck: Beck Ola
Van Halen was my personal favorite. But maybe also Black Crowes' Shake Your Money Maker

I'm a guitar player and never really gave Page much of a chance because I was more influenced at a young age in the 70s by EVH, etc.....As I got older, only then I came to appreciate the masterful genius of Jimmy Page. I hear a lot of people try and play his songs but I cringe at most of them because they lack any feel or dynamics. Just because you can play the notes doesn't mean it sounds good. Study his timing, feel and construction of chords and leads. He is a master.

Полностью согласен! 60 лет.
Definitely a masterpiece.
Growing up on the Doors, Van Morrison and pink floyd, and just before Nirvana did their first "Big Day Out". I was introduced to led zep by my first love, the sexiest, gentlest and mysterious of young aspiring musicians. Dark wavy hair, quiet blue eyes... tall .. lanky.. dark... . What an iconic way to get to know an album.... of course we broke up but the music stood the test of time.
My favorite Led Zeppelin album hands down. Genuine to the core.
Still amazed by the rawness of this music. My favorite Zep album. Transports me back in time.
What a Band, all the musicians were legendary! Never again will there be a fuller sound than this!
That opening, with the awesome drumming of Bonham right in your face, is one of the greatest intros in rock!
This will start a fight, but this by far is their finest album start to finish. Change my mind.
Its phenomenal, best debut album ever by a long long way.
I agree with you, can we have a fight anyway?
Well, it's the only Led Zep album I've bothered owning a copy of.
Many/most debut albums are the artists' best work because 1) they've been working on it their whole lives 2) it is the only recording they ever do...bearing that in mind, this is a debut that would be nearly impossible to follow... but they kept doing it...another thing that will hurt your brain is the amount of time Plant was in LZ vs. the amount of time he has consistently been recording and performing since...
Yes, this is their best album. Absolutely
The stars aligned themselves perfectly when this band emerged on the scene. Great musicians with a sound like no other.
I think they were the best of the best in their individual musical instruments so together they were the ultimate. The rolling stones were great but individually would you say any of them were the best at their craft? I can't, damn good but not the best. Damn good but not the best. In my heart of hearts Led Zeppelin was the greatest and will never be topped in my lifetime. Just a damn shame Bonzo passed so early. Hard to say what they had left ,because by all accounts I read they were starting to fizzle out or separate. Maybe they just needed Time away to recharge. I know they were getting ready for a big American tour but didn't sound like their hearts were quite in it. Still with Bonham still alive today I think they would have done some more incredible things in the last 43 years for sure.
Oh God yes they did !
Absolutely! Most talented band that ever existed!!
Je ne sais pas si les étoiles étaient alignées mais c’est mon année de naissance et j’apprécie tout particulièrement ce son, bref 1969 quelle belle année pour beaucoup de choses 😊😊😊😊😊
True artists and legends
over 50 years ago I got the blues from Zeppelin. I've been happy ever since
This is the mighty led zeppelin in all its glory. My favorite zeppelin album.
WHAT A DEBUT!! As fresh today as it was then!!
Great album! Babe Im gonna leave is the first manifestation of their genius. From just a good folk song they created a masterpiece.The first Page^s acoustic chords is the best introduction that Ive heard.I have never used drug because this music is better than any drug.Thank you Led Zeppelin for the moments of greatest pleasure !
I was 14 and grooving to the Beatles and Stones when Plant Page Jones and Bonham busted the charts ..They immediately became my band and was lucky enough to see 3 concerts ..at 67 I still enjoy listening to them rambling down the hwy in my kenworth !!!! ROCK ON KIDS
I'm 60 now. Just started listening to Led Zeppelin. Love these guys. Wish I could have seen them live.
Heyy I'm 15 and I just discovered this album like a month ago. Absolutely love it!

First listen to this album in 20+ years... life, ya know, and wow, what was I thinking. Truly the greatest debut album of all time.
Still Untouchable....Thanks Zepp for all the great memories.
I agree with you 💯 👍
Yes! Their music quite defined my 14-yr-old music tastes back then - and horrified my mother! 😜
Heck, for a decade, I had no clue that I was listening to old Blues covers… 🤷🏻♀️ This segued into blues and R&B appreciation.
@@k.hendrickson8735 Segued into Black Sabbath for us. Zepp being the only 8 trk tapes we had among ourselves initially, they got the most playtime because we were rarely inside the house to spin the vinyl.
Saw them at memorial auditorium in Dallas Texas 2nd row seats in the middle 1972 my God they changed everybody’s lives that night what a show best concert ever will never forget so glad we grew up in this generation to bear witness to the greatest era of rock ever👍🏻👍🏻😊💕
I saw them in Buffalo in 72 & 73.
72 was their Peak IMHO....Words can not describe what they played that night.
The idea that this album could come out to negative reviews at anytime in history is astounding. Babe I’m gonna leave you sounds like a movie score. On a debut album a song that well formulated and reserved at times is incredible. Perhaps it was just to shocking a contrast from the music of the previous 5 years but this album is a masterpiece.
No one knew what the fuck they were hearing!
An absolute understatement ! Let's Face facts here , the chances are pretty damn good that you'll walk away a fan of L.Z. after hearing this album in it's Entirety than not !
People do not know how purely made, instrument based, by 3 to 4 musicians with old school tech, music is so special. It is very hard to find due to digitalization, automated, etc sound and vocals. Bring this type of sound today, we are waiting. Just 3 to 4 musicians with their instruments.
@Karie Smith It'll never happen again......
I'm a huge longtime fan of this band. and a bigtime fan of John bonham,...I share the same birthdaterry as him. I agree with you about babe I'm gona leave you, what a track. as a bonham fan my favorite track on this album is good times bad times...bonham bass drum work is simply outstanding.
blessings
The overwhelming intensity of Dazed and Confused and the deep impression it caused the first time I listened to it 50 yrs ago was so huge that other great rock songs by other great bands just leave me nostalgic about it.
I listened to this album in 69 while away at boarding school. All these years later, listening to it again, I'm amazed how it's still a masterpiece. Some things just withstand the test of time.
Brilliant!
so true bro!
ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY!!!
Not today's music or what ever it's called.
Still sounds as fresh and powerful in 2021 as it did in 1969.
To me. more so ...I look at these kids at an EDM rave and think, WTF happened to their brains? To me "That 70s Show" is a documentary. Kids today have been robbed of sitting around stoned and trying to answer the question...where is Australia anyway? Now they just hey-google and miss all the fun.

Never has any other group put out four albums in four years that were so stunningly great, without a single "dud" filler song, of which the Beatles and Stones had plenty on their first four albums. And I can listen to them endlessly (and I have for ~35-40) years and never get tired of any of the songs on I-II-III-Zofo. The GOATs of hard/classic rock bands.
In the late 60's/early 70's, this was one of my favorite albums & Led Zeppelin was one of my favorite groups. This takes me back to my university days, sitting in a circle and passing a joint around. This brings me back to those loving experiences we all shared.
Possibly the best opening song on a debut album ever.
What a way to announce yourselves..... "We're HERE!!"
Most memorable needle-drop ever. A half-hour earlier I had never heard of them.
No kidding, totally kick ass!
Seriously? You don't listen to much music do you?
@@Murray9452 What were you listening to in 1969?
@@risseldyrosseldy910 I was listening to Beatles, CCR, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, and Hendrix. And then Led Zeppelin just suddenly appeared in the record store.
I am 63 , I took both of my children to Led Zepplin concert in Memphis about 20 year's ago, I was critized by my sister, my daughter LOVED THEM 🎶💞, my son not so much, Love Zeppelin always 💞🎶💞🎶💞💫
Born in Westminster London , im 70 this year . i remember like yesterday when ZEP Was formed after the yardbird split and jimmy took over . i seen them many times in london earls court etc . went and got zep1 in wardour st soho. it was a true landmark album for me ' i played at least 10 copies to death ' glad to say i still collect vinyl all kept Mint ' today this LP Still haunts me and gives me shivers .WONDERFUL.
Lucky Dog ain't ya. I'm 71 and never saw them. I collect vinyl. I just bought Donald Fagins The Nightfly for $550.00. Have not taken the plastic off. Never paid like that before. ULTRADISC ONE STEP PRESSING BY MFSL. Dare I open it?
Wow. Lucky you.
The first time I heard this album was in the basement of my friend's house and I got my first kiss while it was playing...in the summer of 69, right around Aug. 17th...(while Woodstock went on in upstate NY). I was 13, going to be 14 in October...and a friend bought me the album for my birthday. A Led Zeppelin fan was born. I saw them twice at Madison Square Garden, in 1973 and again in 1977(8th row for that concert). Ive seen them in many incarnations since, but this will always remain my favorite album because of its blues roots.
you were whithin a few rows from me i had tickets for three of the shows all seats were between the 5th and tenth row best seats i ever had for a concert
Qué gran recuerdo. Me gustaría tener una máquina del tiempo y transportarme a uno de esos conciertos, en primera fila.
Me two Took the LIRR into MSG. Had third row seats for Houses Tour. Row twelve for 73. Cost a fortune twelve dollars. Waited on line forever. Thought Plant was a freaking god strutting across stage…
@@markheller8646 oh yes, we all did!
amen brother
Think about this for a moment...52 years ago this masterpiece was playing all over and we were rocking and we still are rocking. Yes let me go back to my teenage years just for a moment.
Actually I read the first album, and maybe number two, wasn't even available in the United States for the longest time. It wasn't till like 1970 or 71 that Zeppelin was even known in the United States. Both this album and their second album were recorded at about the same time. But of course released about a year or so apart
@@billyidol7931 this music is everything to me,,d transfixed and burnt in to my brain since my amazing mum and dad brought me home from Woodside hospital as a newborn baby girl and I played the same work of art for my 5 beautiful babies ears too 😃
@@shannonmurphy905 You have a burn on your brain?? That's gotta sting
JPJ's bass is sublime on this album....I've always just listened to Bonzo and Jimmy's lines but...Some seriously intense bass..
JPJ so underappreciated.
@@joycej928 He really is; he NEVER gets mentioned in Great Bassist discussions...
I thot his name was John
@@rojer9344 Are you a Zeppelin fan?
Mr John Richard Baldwin...An extraordinary talent!!!
MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME.....Zeppelin was so far above everyone else that the music world could not grasp or understand how. We listened to the music and stood in awe at the sheer scale and magnitude of the sounds coming from the speakers. Maybe the rumors are true.....Zeppelin conjured some sort of magic voodoo that enticed and mesmerized us all. The Mighty Zep are at the top of the HALLS OF ROCK for all time!!!!
Very well put
How Many More Times,,,, can I say that this is one of the best debut albums of all time!
No doubt in my mind
name one better?

after 30 years of playing guitar, touring, and all the crap that comes with being in bands, this album still reaches me
All of Zepplins album are great.
I think this one is the best.
Me too
Me three. Just kick ass music from top to bottom. My favorite. It may be the best ever, by any band. Just my opinion. Peace from NYC.
This was one great album. I would sit by the stereo and yell out to my parents "You have to hear this song!!" I thought it was the finest music in the world. They didn't love it but I still love it to this day. Best Zep album in my opinion. xo
The best album ever. How Many More Times is beyond beyond. I have thought that since even before I sat on the stage at Kinetic in Chicago in 1969 and saw them absolutely crush that song with the best performance I have ever seen. Incredible even though it is more than 50 years later.
Cool !!
Gets better over time. Great memory.
it's crap
I remember when they played the Kinetic! Awesome!
Being born in '76, I was lucky to have a Dad that has great taste in music. I was introduced to the splendor that is Led Zepplin early on in my life, but to sit on the stage in '69 right after this record hit is truly one of the most epic experiences I have ever heard told. Just wow. A true gem of a memory. Thanks for sharing this.
the best favorite album of my grandfather and my father, it is a gem 💿❤🎶🎶🎶
This album never gets old and neither does there other album. Feel good music all the time
Their music is timeless treasure that keeps me inspired ❤
I can not get enough of this album. The best times of my life followed me by this album. CHEERS
I was 14 when this album came out...that's when I started having crushes on rock n roll long haired bad boys!😊💖
Agreed, the best rock and blues album ever produced. Led Zep the soundtrack of my life since 1970.
Dale, your place in HEAVEN is firmly secured for uploading this great, great, great, kick ass, classic album.
Kick ass music bro. Peace from NYC
I just can't imagine coming out of the gate swinging and this is what you throw into the ring. Fucking legendary.
An iconic masterpiece and a pillar of rock and roll music
Rock and roll are Elvis Presley, Little Richard, the first Beatles, etc. This is heavy rock with elements of metal.
Definite pillar. Never met anyone to deny that. A lot of other popular bands either went Glam Rock or half Glam. I seldom listen to most of the 70s era anymore because of the glam. Early Zeppelin is my go too when I get tired of all the other types of music. Often!
On every legit list of best debut albums ever released. Still magic.
Best debut album ever!
Yes it is a masterpiece
