This was in March of (1969), for their debut album release in Europe, it had already been released in the USA on January 12,1969. Plant & Bonham we’re both 20, they also played a few other songs here & you can watch them too. I believe is the only time you can see Plant wearing his wedding ring, he got married in November (1968). The poor kids there watching, had to sit quietly & watch, boy would that be so hard to do. Thank you again for your reaction.
I have loved this band since the start and will always be my favorite band of all time! almost 67 now and I was 11 years old the first time I heard them.
This is my favorite version of this song! All of the songs from "Danmarks Radio 1960" are great too! Just an amazingly awesome raw performance! Thanks & great reaction Steph!
Your reaction to Jimmy's solo are exactly the same with me when I first saw this video years ago, giggling and biting lips😂 young Jimmy Page was really something else❤
Hey Steph, Loving your enthusiastic reactions to Led Zep. This is what I love. It dosen't matter what age you are, what generation who are, what part of the world you come from, MUSIC is the international language and always will be.
The Fender Telecaster guitar that Jimmy Page plays was a gift that Jeff Beck gave him for bringing him into the Yardbirds in his place in 1965. Jimmy himself painted it.
@ you are welcome, I learned so much watching interviews etc. not all the stories are true, but a lot of it is.the story I love the most, is how quick everything got started & took off like a rocket. In about 3 months, they had their first rehearsal on August 19,1968, the day before Plants 20th birthday. In September they did a 6 gig tour in Scandinavia as the New Yardbirds, because as the last Yardbird, Page wanted to honor their tour obligation. They came back to England, & the end of September or October, in 4 days & total of about 30 hours created their debut album. Which was funded by Page & manager Grant, Grant went to New York with the tapes & got them a contract with Atlantic Records. Dusty Springfield encouraged Atlantic Records to also sign them, & without seeing them play live they signed them, on November 23,1968. They got the highest signing bonus, for a new band of $145,000. They started a USA tour on December 26,1968 in Denver, their album wasn’t released until January 12,1969. Plant & Bonham had known each other, & Page & Jones had known each other, but the 4 weren’t all known to each other. You’d think they were all friends & band mates for years, with how great they played together. I’m glad Plant chose music over a girlfriend pre Led Zeppelin, otherwise we’d have missed out.
so great. I tried to upload this a few years ago in 4k but utube got rid of it. ahead of their young times. roberts voice is ridiculous for a 20 something as is all of them violin guitar superb
This performance is awesome. A great glimpse into what was to become. After you listen to it, listen to it again but when Jimmy starts with bow, put that in the back a bit and concentrate on the bass and drums. Any one for "Dazed and Confused" or "Whole Lotta Love" from '73. Absolutely epic. The play offs that JPJ and Bonham get into are stellar. Speed ups-slowdowns-tempo changes in mid flight- Zep's bottom end had it cookin' from the git go. Cheers from canada.
Steph, I am over the Moon (an English expression which means "very happy!") that you chose this video! I will pat myself on the back a little, since I have requested it two or more times, but wherever you got the idea for it, it was inspired! Seeing you lose yourself in the greatness of this superb early Zeppelin performance was everything! You even looked a little wonderfully dazed at times (but not confused, lol), which is a normal reaction when you see what these guys could do! bravo to them and you!
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and if you want to see an amazing drum solo and don’t mind listening to them for almost a half hour check out “Molby Dick” live from Seattle in 1977
John Paul Jones had played with Jimmy Page a few times when they were both top studio musicians, and he told Page to contact him if he ever wanted to put a group together. Page contacted him and Robert Plant and John Bonham. Jones said that he knew halfway through their first song together that they were going to be huge!
Page didn't contact Robert....He and JPJ sought out a singer named Terry Reid and Terry declined but suggested they go hear Robert. Robert was friends with John Bonham who couldn't find a band because "he played too loud"
In 1969, Jimmy Page was about 25 John Paul Jones was about 23. John Bonham and Robert Plant were about 20 This is off their first album if I remember right. This shows another side of their music while also showing their inspiration for the blues. Great reaction.
This song was a staple of early Zeppelin shows, it's a mix of an blues riffs and references and late 60's hard rock. In later shows, like the 73 MSG videos (and Song Remains the Same movie) they weren't playing this often in favor of newer material.
Zep, steeped in the black american blues as all the english youth were brought it to a new level of pyschedelic improvisation. Total pioneers that were hated and loved at the time.
That was one of the first gigs as Led Zeppelin (a name infleunced by either John Entwistle or Keith Moon of the Who who told Page his new band will go down like a lead balloon). Before they toured Scandinavia as the New Yardbirds as Page wanted to "save" his Yardbirds as the sole last member. After Eric Clapton left the band in 65 he wanted to bring is friend Jimmy Page into the band but he was busy and famous as a session player and proposed Jeff Beck who then joined. Later Page entered the band as well and Beck left leaving Page as the lead guitarist to the Yardbirds in 67. But this incarnation didn't last long and everyone went their own way. Page wanted to continue and brought several late Yardbirds songs with him into the new band. He already played with JPJ and Bonzo on Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man session (Donovan was the songwriter and singer but otherwise that would have been a kind of proto-Zep). Something that shouldn't be forgotten: Page was 25 at the time of this recording here, JPJ was 23, Bonham would turn 21 two months later and Plant was half a year over 20! They were really young lads.
One of their very best tracks and it ended one of the best debut albums ever. For even better versions, do the studio original and the live, 20 minute version in 1970. Truly spectacular every time they played it, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎶🔥
This appears to be one of those European young-people's TV broadcast concerts. The kids may not have ever seen or heard of LZ hen they walked in the doors. It may be that once the song is over, there's little applause and the audience looks sober, unimpressed, like they hadn't just heard one of the stellar bands from the latter half of the 20th Century onward!
They just didn't care about anything but the music and where it could take them, and it often took them to different places on the stage each time. You'd rarely hear any song done the same way twice. Songwriting and playing skills, which include improvisation, were untouchable. It's why they were in the top 10 all-time best-selling musical artists of all time. Pure genius.
The thing to remember about Zeppelin is they started out not as an original band but really as an exercise in performance. They were never going to reinvent the wheel. But what they succeeded in was in raising an otherwise fundamentally emotional music to the position of classical music. Which is where rock largely resides today.
Assisto seus vídeos Stephanie e quero dizer que fico muito feliz por uma jovem linda como você curtir Led Zeppelin! Saudações à você e seu ótimo gosto musical!❤❤❤
Thank you for choosing a great song! I could write volumes about the band, about each member and about each song! ...but most importantly, a big thank you for not wearing those awful pink cat's ears today, they are very distracting and quite frankly, make you look silly. I just had to say this because all your subscribers are (understandably) in love with you, which means they never will tell you. Those cat's ears have prevented me until now from subscribing to your channel, but now I've changed my mind! Greetings and thank you Steph 🎶🎶
It's unfortunate that (aside from When the Levee Breaks) you haven't listened to any of Led Zeppelin's studio recordings, which with Jimmy Page as their producer, are some of the greatest audio recordings in music history. To this very day, their original studio recordings made Led Zeppelin the 5th biggest selling music artist of all time, only trailing Michael Jackson at #4, Garth Brooks at #3, Elvis Presley at #2, and of course, the biggest selling music artist of all time, The Beatles at #1. And by the way, I love your Beatle reactions. I wish I could say the same for your Led Zeppelin reactions, but you focus solely on their live recordings, which are no where near in the same realm of quality as their studio masterpieces. I highly recommend (at the very least) revisiting two of their studio recordings, which are so much better than the live versions you chose to react to instead. The 1st song I recommend you react to next would be the original studio recording of the song "Stairway to Heaven", which is one of the most played songs in Rock Radio history. The 2nd song I recommend you react to would be the original studio recording of the song "Since I've Been Loving You". Yes, you've reacted to both live versions, but I guarantee it will be a whole new experience hearing both of the original studio recordings. They both will touch your soul and open your eyes to the true greatness that was Led Zeppelin. Peace
Disagree. Zeppelin's true realm was on stage. They weren't a studio band like The Beatles. Zeppelin very often improved the songs live and added so much more to them. Zeppelin were a sight and sound to behold on the stage.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I am not saying Led Zeppelin weren't an amazing live band. When they were on, they were, in my opinion, the greatest live band of all time, and without question, the coolest looking band of all time. The magical wizardry of Jimmy Page on stage is unmatchable. I have seen Jimmy Page many times live in concerts I have attended, and it is a thrill like no other seeing him perform live on stage. But their true greatness, the fingerprint they will leave on history for future generations is their studio recordings. Their studio recordings are what made them, to this very day, one of the 5 biggest selling music artists of all time. That's common knowledge. They didn't release 9 live albums while they were a working band. That would have been foolish. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Peter Grant many years ago, and Peter was dismayed that Jimmy Page never got the credit for being one of the greatest music producers who ever lived. Well Jimmy will always get that credit from me. Thankfully, the great majority of the planet (outside of UA-cam reaction comment sections) is in agreement that Led Zeppelin's studio recordings (made with Neve mixing consoles, Neumann and Telefunken microphones, Universal Audio and Fairchild limiters and compressors, etc.) is some of the greatest sonic sounding, well composed and flawlessly performed music in history, and nowhere in the same universe as impromptu live recordings made in front of 25,000 intoxicated fans. Some performances were amazing, others not so much, often changing the songs from night to night, sometimes with excruciatingly long jam sessions in the middle, and most made with a PA mixer and a bunch of Shure microphones. Of course, the studio recordings are gonna sound better. Anybody hearing this music for the first time (like these reactors who haven't heard the songs 10 thousand times like most of the commenters on here) can hear that. And of course, the studio recording of "Since I've Been Loving You" (the song I asked the reactor to re-listen to) was made prior to Robert Plants vocal chord issues (and later, surgery), which gives an even more notable difference between the studio and live MSG recordings. And John Paul Jones' organ on the studio recording is otherworldly, as well as Bonham's subtle, jazzy, then thunderous drums, and Jimmy's solo, which is one of the greatest guitar leads ever recorded. Anyways, just my opinion. I know everybody has one. All the best, Peace
@thewizard6077 Yes I agree with all of that. Zeppelin were incredible in the studio too. Not saying they weren't. But live on stage was where the four of them truly shined as a collective and cohesive unit. Their spontaneous creativity and inventiveness on stage was truly unique. Reaction videos are not just about hearing, they are about looking as well. A lot of young women especially like to LOOK at the artist they are listening to as well. Zeppelin didn't make videos, as you know, and some of the 'videos' to the studio versions on You Tube are bloody awful, with epileptic fit inducing nonsense haha. I can only think of two. Travelling Riverside Blues and Over The Hills And Far Away that have decent videos to go with them. These were professionally made when the box set was released in 1990. I well remember them at the time. Oh and the video for Whole Lotta Love, also professionally made when Whole Lotta Love was finally released in the UK in 1997. Apart from that, I can't think of any others worth watching. If Im being totally honest, listening to a studio version of a Zeppelin song for the first time should be lying down in a dark room with ear phones on, eyes closed and saying nothing for the whole song. That would be pointless for a reaction video 😂 One last thing, when the songs were new, Zeppelin actually played them live pretty close to the studio versions. Only later on after they had played them for a good while did they start changing them up after getting bored with sticking closely to the original versions. Usually about after a year. Im glad they did. That way we have many different versions of the same songs to enjoy instead of carbon copies over and over again like AC/DC or some other one dimensional rock band. I've seen AC/DC four times back when I liked them. Their concerts are always the bloody same. Zzzzzz after a while. Nothing different about them. Cheers.
In my opinion, Zeppelin was never better as a live unit than in 1969. Plant hadn't shredded his voice yet, and Page and Bonham, both healthy here, had not been consumed by the various vices that rock stars inevitably find themselves consumed by. The sons of a guns came out fully formed.
You need to react to this band called "The Who", especially their live performances. One of the greatest live bands of all time and arguably more explosive than Led Zeppelin (controversial, I know)
The Who aren't even close to Zeppelin, the fact they put out so many terrible tracks answers that question, however they did put out some outstanding tracks early in their career, and the live version of Won't Get Fooled Again is outstanding
Well I like The Who but I'll never understand anyone who says The Who were on Zeppelin's level (and yes I know Live At Leeds etc). Zeppelin had another level of chemistry, creativeness and spontaneous bombast on stage, and their albums weren't full of filler. The Who couldn't do what Zeppelin did on stage with things like Since I've Been Loving You or The Rain Song, or sit down and play delicate folk like Thats The Way, Going To California etc. Just saying.
ok Steph you need some Janis Joplin in you life give a listen to Cry Baby or Lady Blue or Summertime she is the Greatest Blues Rock singer of all time sadly she passed away at the age of 27 you will fall in Love with her Voice thanks keep doing what you do
Steph, I guess you either didn't see my last suggestion, or, while you are very pretty, you may believe that we are tuning in to just look at you? Why are you taking up the ENTIRE screen and just have the STARS that you are commenting on squeezed down in the corner??? You really need to reverse this. You need to be off in the corner while, in this case, Led Zeppelin is filling the screen. I want to see Jimmy Page's guitar playing as closely as possible, the expressions of the performers and just them as up close as possible. Otherwise, I do enjoy your reviews!
It's been so much fun watching you become a Zeppelin super fan....you're a Led Head now
This was in March of (1969), for their debut album release in Europe, it had already been released in the USA on January 12,1969. Plant & Bonham we’re both 20, they also played a few other songs here & you can watch them too.

Thank you again for your reaction.
This was in Denmark on January 15, 1969
@ OK I read or saw where it was March of 69.
everything looks & sounds great, Steph...dont worry about a thing. Great reaction as always:)
I have loved this band since the start and will always be my favorite band of all time! almost 67 now and I was 11 years old the first time I heard them.
He's beating those drums like they owe him money
Live Led Zeppelin is a real treat!
I just adore your Zep reactions Miss. TY! The boys are so amazing! Jimmy doesn't suck.
This is my favorite version of this song! All of the songs from "Danmarks Radio 1960" are great too! Just an amazingly awesome raw performance! Thanks & great reaction Steph!
One of my LZ favorites! Over 50 years old and NEVER gets old. GOAT rock
band of all time. In concert was the best, LOUD and CLEAR right to your soul!
Led zeppelin is my favorite all time band
Try Greta van fleet , great band. Very Led zeppy ❤❤❤
Your reaction to Jimmy's solo are exactly the same with me when I first saw this video years ago, giggling and biting lips😂 young Jimmy Page was really something else❤
this was there 1st TV performance. The whole show is fire!
watch baby Im gonna leave you

@@ricklee5845 I can’t remember who, but someone borrowed it, & stripped the paint off of it & Jimmy wasn’t happy.

@@sicotshit7068 For the history of this guitar, it comes from an interview with Jimmy Page himself.
Led Zeppelin are four coequal musical prodigies banging out timeless tunes.
Jimmy paige is a truly absolute legend when it comes to playing guitar absolute masterpiece 🎸 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for this video. So fun to share this first time seeing it too. Fantastic!
OMG I LOVE LED ZEPP THANK YOU MY FRIEND FOR REACTING ❤
so great. I tried to upload this a few years ago in 4k but utube got rid of it. ahead of their young times. roberts voice is ridiculous for a 20 something as is all of them violin guitar superb
Black & white says that this was early, vintage footage, awesome video 😉😉😉
Love this live performance
This performance is awesome. A great glimpse into what was to become. After you listen to it, listen to it again but when Jimmy starts with bow, put that in the back a bit and concentrate on the bass and drums. Any one for "Dazed and Confused" or "Whole Lotta Love" from '73. Absolutely epic. The play offs that JPJ and Bonham get into are stellar. Speed ups-slowdowns-tempo changes in mid flight- Zep's bottom end had it cookin' from the git go. Cheers from canada.

We were all young decades ago. In fact, I was 11 years old in 1969. 😊
Fantastic right out of the gate!
Bonham was playing "lead drums," a new instrument. The beginning of the storm what was Led Zeppelin....
I love to see you watching, young girl! I see that you understand the music of my very favorite Band, with no interruption but growing enthusiathem.
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and if you want to see an amazing drum solo and don’t mind listening to them for almost a half hour check out “Molby Dick” live from Seattle in 1977
Great reaction! The other songs from this TV show were also amazing (react to them, too!).

This is so good ✌️
This was early 1969 they just formed Robert Plant and John Bonham were 19, JPJ was 23, and Jimmy Page was 25
The GOATS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is early raw,and experimental
Turning Jimmy’s insane solo into a funked out classic march beat is crazy
In 1969, Jimmy Page was about 25 John Paul Jones was about 23. John Bonham and Robert Plant were about 20 This is off their first album if I remember right. This shows another side of their music while also showing their inspiration for the blues. Great reaction.

The song Dazed and Confused was done first by the Yardbirds with Jimmy using the bow. That's why it sounds like the Led Zep version.

One of the greatest rock band off all time.. led zep
Page solo is insane! 4:09
In some presentations Jimmy played a theremin, the only instrument that doesn t need to be touched with the hands.
I recommend The Doors:)
when the music is over live in europe is a good live performance, i really think you'll like them!
One of their very best tracks and it ended one of the best debut albums ever. For even better versions, do the studio original and the live, 20 minute version in 1970. Truly spectacular every time they played it, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎶🔥

I like the stark background and setting! Hair great, too.
Possibly my favorite live performance ever.
The SOUL and POWER plant had in his voice was years ahead of his age!
@yourthaiguy Agreed. Left over from a previous life.
They just didn't care about anything but the music and where it could take them, and it often took them to different places on the stage each time. You'd rarely hear any song done the same way twice.

Jeff Beck gave Jimmy that guitar as a gift for getting him a job with The Yardbirds.
Producer Eddie Kramer was asked how he captured that John drumming sound. He said it was easy, just get a big ape to play the drums.

If Im being totally honest, listening to a studio version of a Zeppelin song for the first time should be lying down in a dark room with ear phones on, eyes closed and saying nothing for the whole song. That would be pointless for a reaction video 😂
One last thing, when the songs were new, Zeppelin actually played them live pretty close to the studio versions. Only later on after they had played them for a good while did they start changing them up after getting bored with sticking closely to the original versions. Usually about after a year. Im glad they did. That way we have many different versions of the same songs to enjoy instead of carbon copies over and over again like AC/DC or some other one dimensional rock band. I've seen AC/DC four times back when I liked them. Their concerts are always the bloody same. Zzzzzz after a while. Nothing different about them.
Cheers.
Robert Plant & John Bonham were both 20 years old. JPJ was 22
Jimmy Page was 25
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
Experimental, psychedelic!
In my opinion, Zeppelin was never better as a live unit than in 1969. Plant hadn't shredded his voice yet, and Page and Bonham, both healthy here, had not been consumed by the various vices that rock stars inevitably find themselves consumed by. The sons of a guns came out fully formed.
You need to react to this band called "The Who", especially their live performances. One of the greatest live bands of all time and arguably more explosive than Led Zeppelin (controversial, I know)
The Who aren't even close to Zeppelin, the fact they put out so many terrible tracks answers that question, however they did put out some outstanding tracks early in their career, and the live version of Won't Get Fooled Again is outstanding
Well I like The Who but I'll never understand anyone who says The Who were on Zeppelin's level (and yes I know Live At Leeds etc). Zeppelin had another level of chemistry, creativeness and spontaneous bombast on stage, and their albums weren't full of filler.
The Who couldn't do what Zeppelin did on stage with things like Since I've Been Loving You or The Rain Song, or sit down and play delicate folk like Thats The Way, Going To California etc.
Just saying.
The Who were good and sporadically great. Led Zeppelin were consistently great.
Led Zeppelin is uncooperative I like that.
How many more times at royal albert hall is even better
Steph, React to Band Maid - Choose Me. You'll enjoy them.

Hi Steph,
What’s your take on Zeppelin since doing a number of reactions? They are my favorite band.

The bow is actually a cello bow - Jimmy tried a violin bow but it was too fragile and shredded too easily (the wrong type of shredding!)
Hello there hey there hey Hello hi there there
Stef. Please look OTYKEN
Please do reaction video on avenged sevenfold
How do you do this and not put a link to the original in description? Really?
안녕하세요🥰😁😄
Steph, I guess you either didn't see my last suggestion, or, while you are very pretty, you may believe that we are tuning in to just look at you? Why are you taking up the ENTIRE screen and just have the STARS that you are commenting on squeezed down in the corner??? You really need to reverse this. You need to be off in the corner while, in this case, Led Zeppelin is filling the screen. I want to see Jimmy Page's guitar playing as closely as possible, the expressions of the performers and just them as up close as possible. Otherwise, I do enjoy your reviews!
