Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 and went on to become one of the most influential, innovative, and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Jimmy Page brought in John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut which was produced by Page, as were all the subsequent albums. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world.
This is one of the best Instrumental intro of the History. PERFECT SONG.
Totally agree
It’s beyond brilliant isn’t it!!!
Praise indeed from the special one.
Bonzo is halfass my hero.
And I'm really a guitarist.
Beats Loony Moony in my book.
No disrespect to Keith, he was great too.
I play bonzo style behind the kit is all.
This song is why I do.
Be Champion Zeppelins
It’s not a complete day until we hear some Led Zeppelin.
bumping this over here in the Indian Himalayas.
Gotta get the led out
This song is so heavy and badass
I listen to led Zeppelin pretty much every day, I think they have become my favourite band by now. I don't know if I like them better than deep purple or not though.
Seriously...ending the day in Colorado...
There's no way you can play this song loud enough
😂😂😂🙂
Currently seeing what my car can do 😂
🤔 my neighbors MIGHT not agree 🤷🏼♂️ I have my speaker set to 11
Use to listen to this thru Marshall Amps after smoking good herb with my bros.✌👍✌👍✌👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸at 16 year old..And I'm 64 now.👍✌🇺🇸✌👍
RIGHT ON!
Zeppelin is one of the few bands that find that perfect balance of blues and rock
They nailed it 😎👍🏻
Big time ✌️😎
Absolute perfection. So damn good.
Zeppelin is what happens when a group of musicians into the blues trip their balls off and make music - and that's not a criticism.
@@sireuchre absolutely
The only band where a case could be made that all 4 members are in the top 1 of their discipline 👌
Masters….
Only for Bonham and Plant, let's be fair. But that's still an awesome score.
Rush, maybe? Lee for his bass playing, not his vocals.
@@dkm4470 like you could do better lol
@@dkm4470 well Jimmy Page was hired as a session guitarist just like jimi hendrix was, who are we saying is better than jimmy page? i like the Stooges and Black Sabbath guitarists i dunno if they're better though
@@dkm4470 i like van halen i didnt know eddie was better I'll have to watch live footage
That harmonica track is the icing. Incredible
I know. Its so haunting the way it fills the room.
Truly
There's a bit of backward guitar towards the end too. Just awesome.
Yeh def not Stevie wonder though
Ahead of their time...the harmonica track was recorded, then played backwards with echo. The drums were recorded in the lobby of an old mansion with microphones hanging from the second floor staircase. The guitar tracks were recorded, then the tempo was altered. This is why Led Zeppelin rarely played this song live. And when they did it wasn't the same.
I can't imagine my life without Led Zeppelin ❣️❣️❣️
Me either.Like water, air , and food..I need Zeppelin !
yeah indeed, marcia. always a joy to come back, soak up the energy and take a rest.
@@the_rover1
Hi! 👋
Cool
I definitely can’t either!no way
One of my favourite songs ever. I think Led Zeppelin are 'THE' best band ever existed.
je suis d'accord !
This song will be played at my funeral, it’s in my will.
i just wrote the same more or less, and really i have it in my will already written...
Just make sure You get permission from Page and Plant first lol
@@imakebillboards good advise
How about this song + "In my time of dying".
Excellent choice.
Phil Collins said, "it's probably one of the best drum recordings ever made in pop music."
Pop ??
@@dufferesne8214 Phil's EXACT direct quote, not mine.
@@dufferesne8214, it was pop during their time. As in, it was played on the radio!
@@dufferesne8214 Popular in the sense of “popular music traditions” - something recorded for popular appeal and mass distribution, not the specific “pop music” genre.
Rock music!!!
That echoing drum intro always gives me chills
Ikr, 1 minute and 22 seconds intro of pure masterpiece aswell.
Headley Grange stairwell, baby! ua-cam.com/video/KWI9bMe7gHE/v-deo.html
That's the reverb tank he was in.
So do the lyrics. 🔥✌️😎
There's an interesting anecdote about those drums. Zep had rented a big house to record and had moved Bonham's drum kit temporarily into the stairwell as they were settling in. Bonzo at some point started pounding away just to pass the time, and it created this tremendous echo, so they decided to record right there in the stairwell.
@@chicklets4ever51 yeah I heard that
It is physically impossible for me to sit still when I hear that drumbeat. No matter how many times i've heard it
💯💢💥💫👍👍🦾🦾💪💪❤️❤️
I wish I could go back to 70's and stay there for eternity ❤
That's Big John for you, man. He could play the drums so well.
I can relate 🤣
When the levee breaks and Kashmir are Led Zeppelin's most badass songs
Achilles last stand / Nobodys fault but mine
@@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117 Every other Zep's song is badass!
I'm willing to throw No Quarter into the mix
Ten years gone and since I’ve been loving you are rather epic as well.
The Immigrant Song and Four Sticks does it for me 😊
Only Led Zep could make a song about flooding sound so good.
yea flooding, flooding in prostitutes
SRV- Texas flood
This is a cover song by Memphis Minnie from 1929.
in 1973 Led Zeppelin did a concert at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. I lived over a mile away and could still hear them clearly!
I was there that day! amazing
Bonham and JPJ are just on another planet!!! Best Rhythm Section EVER!!!
Yeah absolutely fantastic rhythm section. AC/DC also have an unbelievable rhythm section.
28 June 2022
please let's not forget Roger Glover and Ian Paice
Absolutely
I believe JPJ was actually playing a lap steel guitar in this song as well.
He’s probably the best musician in the entire band. He played all their keyboards, mandolin, recorder on STH, and of course bass. I’m sure I’m leaving stuff out.
@@mauriziobuioni8434who?
John Bonham's kick drum is so profound on this track. It's so good. May John Bonham and Peter Grant rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️
🙏💥
I love this song and everything they have put out to us.
Peter Grant was a right bully that just threw his weight around.
Bass is good too
The drums were set up in the lobby of a multistory building the echo is the echo from the open stairwell. All natural baby!!!!
I'm sure that you have heard this many times but when I listen to Led Zeppelin so do my neighbors.
When I play Zep my neighbours throw a brick through my window,,,,,so they can hear it better 👍🏴
My block used to here zepl
@@stevenbrown6720 my block still do mate 👍🤣
Lol. As I'm listening to the song I'm thinking "I need a new stereo for the workshop.. one that the neighbors can hear" Christmas is coming...
Never gets old impala.
Another great example of Zeppelin's ability to give new life to an old blues song. Bonham really shines here.
documentary Jimmy Page rented some castle with huge staircase, and put Bonzo there for the Drum echoe that no one else could replicate
@@cheezhedd A house in the English countryside called Headley Grange,not a castle.
Seems like he was a pretty good drummer
Led Zeppelin is the greatest
Rock n Roll band of all time.
Their music 🎶 is timeless.
👍
HANDS MOTHER FUCKKING DOWN THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Eat it Mozart!
RUBBISH ..Led Zeppelin were a great band but 1.they suffered from plagiarism 2.they were not a rock n roll band, they were a heavy rock band. 3. Greatest rock n roll band of all time is THE ROLLING STONES.
@@dindjarin7185 led Zeppelin was not a heavy metal band or a rock and roll band led Zeppelin is led Zeppelin just like Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd and grateful Dead is grateful Dead there is no substitute there is no genre that you could put them into.
@@briankelley7918 I never said they were a heavy metal band. Heavy metal wasn't even a word in sixties.
Nothing can beat John's drums. NOTHING CAN
those
Bruh mans correcting spellin out here
John Bonham can beat those drums
Between me and you he's my best pupil 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
420 on bro
@@USAAMERICAFUCKYEAH77 1000 thumbs up!
Led Zeppelin best band of all time ❤
And its not even close
You have a point
Beside Floyd
Pink floyd
Not even a debate
Think about this, just about 50 years out and still absolutely nothing on the planet tops this!!
NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn straight!
Nothing Eva shall ❤
It's not JUST the SOUND of Bonhams drum(s) or the beautifully lonely harmonica or Robert's singing or Jimmy's crying guitar, like a Mountain Man coming to grips with this inevitability.
It's all the subtleties too.
Hauntingly gorgeous, melancholy never sounded so earnest.
Well said!
Yeah, it's called Headley Grange.....Page put Bonham in Giant Stairwell with natural Reverb ... and 20 Microphones
@@cheezhedd supposedly the most borrowed Drum sample they say.
Don’t sleep on JPJ’s contribution. Listen to that nasty bass line.
Fucking Masterpiece of Led Zepp and Bonham is indisputable the pillar of the song.
I’ve TOTALLY MELTED into pure ECSTASY after hearing this slice of HEAVEN early this morning for the GABILLION-TIME! I remember being so young, kidless, free & a working woman getting up early & playing this SWEET-VINYL-ALBUM religiously on my turntable.
Thank You LED ZEPPELIN for making me FULL-ZEN… you 💯% never seem to DISAPPOINT.
Someone in TEXAS ✌🏻☮️🤍💟💃🏻
@Nelson Swanberg Thank you so much for your kind words. 🤍💃🏻
What u mean someone in texas?
young, working, kidless and Zep' (et al) on vinyl, yep..i remember those carefree, hard rocking days too.
Thank You LED ZEPPELIN for making me FULL-ZEN. !!
CAN I BE FULL ZEN TOO?????
rain + when the levy breaks + 🎧
perfect combo
This has got to be one of the heaviest blues songs ever recorded. The drums and bass are massive.
My favorite Led Zeppelin song…
Mine to
Smae
No thank you
Best groove ever.
I can't believe God let me be born before this phenomenon was created!! 1962 I had the privilege of buying their first album when it came out. Greatest band ever.
Gratitude is a very admirable trait
Well dont really think so... first LZ album was released in 1969 😅
I meant I bought their first album when it came out.
Stones are the greatest band. Zeppelin suck.
@@Cynthiamattersbeatles Stones are a clown show! Not a quality musician in the bunch, except maybe Ron Wood.
But they are a good clown show for sure!
Those drums are just perfection!
Fantastic Song 🎶- There will never be Another Rock n Roll Band like the Legendary Led Zeppelin EVER !!!!!

Best hard rock band.
What about The Beatles ?
The chemistry and magnetic flow between these 4 created these songs with pinpoint perfection. Best Band Ever.

Yuuup
Maybe the best studio track of rock music ever recorded. Knocks me out every time.
That drum groove ...
I love it when some rappers think it's theirs LOL.
Bjork sampled it for Army of me.
killer drumming
Heard better songs
@@Luthermutt_Notwell you look like you remember every lyric to every song you have heard in your life.
A very happy 78th birthday to a rock guitar icon. James Patrick Page January 9, 1944, Heston, England. Thank you for making music that changed our lives.. And settting a standard for the best rock guitarist in the world. Now and in the rock future forever..
LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER! LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN!
This drum, a train, a boulder, all rolled into one magnificent and perfect song.
Wow, that's funny! I dreamed about this song last night and figured it's time to hear it again, read some comments and see you! Kind regards, and next I'll be listening to "No Quarter", a wonderful work by Led Zeppelin.
@@axelheld6655 wow, that's great! Good to find you here! I agree, incredible masterpiece.
My favourite led zep song ❤️
Same
Mine is kashmir
this is some fuckin epic Zeppelin
When people talk about drums driving a song, this is what they mean.
Pretty sure this is the sound of my heart beat now because I've listened to this song that much.
How am I hearing this track for the first time TODAY?! I've been on Earth for more than half a century.
Wow you just heard this now?
I recommend you also check out "the rain song" by zeppelin
If you want an education (meant in a nice sense) just go back over the USA and UK charts and pick songs and bands that made it into the top 20 or 10. Then investigate the bands/singers further. I'm sure you'll find a ton of stuff you had forgotten or were unaware of. A possible example. I don't know if you've heard of the band Focus (saw them in Bracknell, UK back in the seventies) but one track of theirs always makes me smile: Hocus Pocus. It's simultaneously, brilliant, bizarre and hilarious. It has recently come to the fore a little because it was featured in the film "Baby Driver".
1971 I was only 7years old and probably hearing Marc Bolans T Rex and David Bowie and the starts of Glam Rock. I came to Led Zeppelin later in life and I eventually stumbled upon this track. I’ve thought long and hard about this song and album. We have four individuals who are gifted beyond imagination coming together at the height of their abilities and reworked this blues song , taking it to outer space. The groove on this song is utterly fantastic. And became the blueprint for all serious bands thereafter. Sit back and take it in.
Bob? In '71 I was 7 years old also. I my brother (who was 7 years older), enjoyed listening to Led Zeppelin. Being he was in the next room, naturally I enjoyed listening to his tracks. I was hooked; especially Led Zeppelin. "When the levee breaks" doesn't take a mind reader to know the epitome of true, classic rock songs. Jon Bonham insisted that his percussion be recorded in the hallway of an English castle. How ingenuous could that be? It will take a while (if any) to meet the standards of Led Zeppelin. Hats off to Keith Moon to coin the new name of the New Yardbirds. 😉
Amen, brother.
Bro this is hard in 2024 imagine how crazy it was when it originally dropped 👀
Such a powerful & explosive hard rock band. Over 50 year's & Zeppelin's version of this song still sounds fresh and new.
Led Zeppelin FOREVER!!!🔈🔉🔊
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I love Led Zeppelin!! When the Levy Breaks is my favorite! I'm 69 & still loving rock 'n roll!!!
I have a granddaughter living in CA, I saw on the news about the levee breaking out there, let's pray for them
California needs a bath
The most powerful recording ever committed to tape. Legendary.
When The Levee Breaks - Lyrics
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago.
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah.
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Ah-oh.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Goin'
I'm goin' to Chicago
Goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down.
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS!
When The Levee Breaks is the deepest and coolest Led Zeppelin masterpiece ☮️ Blues is the healer ☮️
I've been listening to Led Zep for more than 40 years am I still think they're the best
Agree!
All time fav track 👌 from the Zep 🎼🎸🎙🎶🏴👍
One of the greatest songs ever recorded
The best of all time song greatest rock band ever
There will never be a more perfect band!!
The best cover of Led Zeppelin.
Stop the madness, stop the war and listen to Led Zeppelin ☮️
The attention to detail in this song is staggering. It does not get any better than this..
awww man when those drums opened the song I was covered in goose bumps....what a sound
Just crushing drums! Bonham genius
As a kid, I just enjoyed the hell out of Zeps songs without thinking too much about the background or origins. Many years later, discovering Zep's love for blues music, the musicians and songs, it's all come together for me. Amazing how Zep took scraps of a song or lyrics and turned them into entirely different, energized masterpieces. Best band this planet has ever witnessed.
Not scraps of a song. Memphis Minnie and Kansas City Joe layed the foundation in order for Led Zep to build upon.
"Many years later, discovering Zeps love for RIPPING OFF blues music..."
They STILL, NEVER gave credit to the blues players they ripped-off
"Наполненный энергией" - это именно то, что характеризует Роберта Планта!
Another great song to remember Led Zeppelin playing in the past 🎶
I used to put this song on while driving through the the misty mountains here in Washington state, it seemed to fit perfectly. Actually the whole album did.. Peace to all!
I think it's funny that there is a song on the same album called "misty mountain hop"
GOOD OL DAYZ☮️🖤💜
I listened to this song for 3 hours straight during my marathon. Hit just as hard every. single. time.
Cryin won’t help ya..prayin won’t do ya no good
Robert's harmonica
is not spoken of so much but is a killer. Also great in Nobody's fault and Custard pie😀
Exceptional! The older I get, the more I appreciate Physical Graffiti
That deep deep feeling you get when its new years eve in Chicago and its heavily snowing at 3am and your walking down a dark alley by yourself drinking a bottle and smoking a joint stranded somewhere.... powerful powerful feelings.....mystic old city.....
Those drums man... It makes me salivate 🤤
I’m 44 now but my dad had this album on vinyl, put it on when I was 13/14 and loved this song immediately!
One of the best bands ever!😊
Certain bands will be with me forever LED ZEPPELIN and AC/DC being 2 of the best ones.
28 June 2022
This is my absolute fav Led Zep song 😭💕
This is one my favorite Headphone listening songs...
Consider it was a blues song that Zeppelin stolen.
I wished I was there! WELL I was only 4 years old. I was listening to one of the greatest bands of all time led Zeppelin when I was 8. I was hooked on classic rock and roll after that!!
Essa música é uma obra prima do rock. Atravessará gerações. Obrigado, LED! 🇧🇷
One of the best bands ever music human beings pure genius
There is no story: Led Zeppelin is the best group ever
Brilliant! Zeppelin are LEGENDS!👍
Zeppelin are PLAGIARISMS ! ✌️
Heck yes!
One of the sleeper cuts on LZIV that makes it the best album ever. Intro is my personal theme music.❤️
Sleeper? It’s arguably the best song on the album

*Complete Lyrics*
When the Levee Breaks
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
A-when the levee breaks, have no place to stay
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan and moan
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain-man leave his home
Oh, well-a, oh, well-a, oh, well-a, ooh-ooh
A-don't it make ya feel bad
when you're tryin' to find your way home
and ya don't know which way to go
If you're goin' down south and they've no work to do
then ya go north to Chicago, ah, 'eah, 'eah, hey
Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good
Now, cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good
A-when the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, a-woo-hoo
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home, oh-hoh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ha
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ha
Oh, oh
Goin', I'm goin' to Chicago, goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, a-goin' down, now
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, yeahh
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down, goin' down, now
Goin' down, goin' down, now, goin' down
Goin' down, down, down, down, down
Ooh-woo-ooh, ooh-woo-ooh
Lookin for this one
To Golden God: thank you for the lyrics. This is poetry.All of us at some point will witness the levee breaking..... Praying will probably do no good....
By the way: some people think Memphis Minnie used to sing this song... The Led Zeppelin version is different,the introduction just kills me...
best alarm clock song
Cette rythmique est la quintessence même du rythme de rock. Tellement simple est complexe à la fois. Le groove est tout simplement dévastateur. Cette faculté qu'a Bonham à jouer presque imperceptiblement en retard est donne une énergie folle au morceau. Merci pour tout John.
One of my favorites, songs that made us fall in love with the magic of Led Zeppelin, great band of all Time✌️🐉🎸🎸🌹🌹🌹💚💚
Dear Lord I’m on my phone and it just never stops love it love it love it!!!!!
You can NEVER get enough of this!!!
Love it love it love it
Just marry this welsh princess Robert!!!
Actually... it is impossible to play harmonica along with this song unless it has custom tuning, because... Jimmy Page slowed down the original recording slightly to give it some sort of effect on the listener like drowning. So the harp would be A flat somewhere.
Thanks. Proud of them. Love this band
Thanks. Proud of them. Love this band. Not sure what drowning would have to do with it.
One of the coolest songs ever... absolute monster of a song - love it !!
Here we goooooooo!!!!!
Bet they have something special for stairway 50th birthday
Somewhere, deep in the Atlantic, my Sony Walkman is being memorialized in layers of sedimentary silt, locked in "play mode" with this track "playing". This song got me thru the misery of February boot camp in Chicago, A long deployment and endless longing for home.
I. PHUKKING. LOVE. THIS. TRACK !!!!
Current favorite Zeppelin song. This and The Rover.
Led Zeppelin has the best of the best!🤘
))) именно этот гитарный риф - будто удары молотом по наковальне крутился в моей голове дня три подряд ; )
Спасибо за ваше творчество!
Я люблю вас, Led Zeppelin! :)

Drums and bass are sublime
I've listened to this song more times than i can calculate, but I'll never stop being totally blown away by John's drumming, the ghost notes on the bass drum and so damn tasty
Such a awesome song
Can not get enough of zeppelin..
