They're my 2nd favorite band, but even I don't make outrageous comments like this. They have roughly 100 songs in their catalog, and about 10 are masterpieces, 40 are great, 30 are good, and 20 are fair or worse. Which is *_incredible!_* It's an accomplishment rivaled only by The Beatles. You don't need to oversell Led Zeppelin with gross exaggerations.
Funny she said that, since the origin story of Led Zeppelin is their legendary first time playing together in 1968 jamming on "Train Kept A-Rollin'," about which John Paul Jones famously said "the room just exploded."
There's a reason why he came in No 1 on Rolling Stone's Top 100 drummers of all time. RS were notorious Zeppelin haters in their day but even they could not deny John Bonham's genius.
Absolute classic! Most people don't understand that the majority of the songs on this album are inspired by The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien. You saw the movies, but there's SO much they left out from the books, not to mention how they totally changed certain things. Their version of The Two Towers is so different as to barely be recognized as coming from the book. I know that between kids, work and life in general that you have little time for reading, but if you take the time to read first The Hobbit the TLOR trilogy, you won't be disappointed
@@andrew348 no, it's not in my opinion. I have read those books many, many times and how badly they butchered it was criminal. Good reason why it got panned both by critics and The Academy after the success of the first
I like how when the cops bust them and tell them to get in line.... the sarcasm lyrics of how the cops are going to bring more cops around have tea with them..the lyrics to this song from my favorite lyrics of all their Tunes
This song showcases what this band does best- Robert Plant's soaring, piercing vocals, John Bonham's massive, thundering drums, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones's majestic riffs, and just a hint of prog irregularity to keep things interesting.
I love that section in the middle where there would typically be a guitar solo, instead Page composes this layered powerhouse of riffs that soar and cascade in a very catchy way. He was extremely clever in this time period.
This is about a "love-in" near London that was broken up by the police. Robert Plant explained: "It's about a bunch of hippies getting busted, about the problems you can come across when you have a simple walk in the park on a nice sunny afternoon.
You gotta check out Led Zeppelin’s “Fool in the Rain.” The power of that song is incredible! It incorporates musical styles from several different genres. In my opinion, one of the quintessential pop/rock songs from that era and any other. Timeless!
As technical as Bonzo was with his drums he also has a "loose" feel to his playing. Almost a very relaxed feel. He was an amazing drummer. Multilayered and powerful.
I'm not sure why Misty Mountain Hop would be considered underrated because at least for most fans that I know, it's regarded as one of their greatest songs. But then again that whole album is fire. It has always struck me as a social political consciousness song. In my mind, it refers to protests and police brutality, and just the general unrest at the time. I love that sarcastic bit about the policeman stopped by and challenged them and then said Hey you can stay for tea and we can chat a while and our friends will all stop by. And he was like, No thanks! Laugh. They have so many incredible songs and I can't keep track of what you've already done so it's hard to say. But I do notice that a lot of people don't react enough to stuff on their final album before Bonzo died. In Through the Out Door. It's a fantastic album. The biggest hits are Fool in the Rain, All of my Love, and Hot Dog, although I remember hearing many others on the radio when it came out. Southbound Suarez is one of my favorites and I have a feeling you guys would love it, it is heavily piano-driven and it's fun and Robert Plant almost comes off like a bit of early Elvis in certain ways at certain times in it. And it's not real long or anyting but it will make you move for real. But all of its good..
When songs are deemed underrated it usually means “underrated by casual or non-hardcore fans of the artist.” Ditto when they say JPJ is underrated. Not by the hardcore fans.
Me either it was actually one of my favorites but I was in jr high and high school in the 70"s and 80's so I'm probably a little biased I think I knew every word to every song they played every teen that had a car had Jensen triaxles or cricket speakers cranked cruising the strip cranked.
They are talking about meeting hippies for the first time sitting in a park. When he said "hey boy do you want to score" they are asking if he wants to buy drugs. Look up 'Why John Bonham is the best drummer' and see how technical this song is. This was the first album I ever bought and still listen to it today. Thank you for the memories,
yeah I like how when the cops bust them and tell them to get in line.... the sarcasm lyrics of how the cops are going to bring more cops around have tea with them..the lyrics to this song from my favorite lyrics of all their Tunes
LED ZEPPELIN just owned the 70's. They never put out singles (45's) all their songs were on their albums. So many great songs on every album. Thanks for the reaction guys, keep the Zep songs coming.
You've got to hear Zeppelin's "Over The Hills And Far Away". Stunning guitar and vocals. It's just a beautiful tune that's hard to explain. It has a nice easy intro, then everyone jumps in the jam. Then, when you think it's over, it comes back at the end.
@@theapocalyptist well, he's right though. Its an album with Battle of Evermore, Misty Mnt Hop, Rock and Roll and Stairway to Heaven...its a bit underrated
@@brianmcmaster5112 Sure. Show me the ratings on all the songs on the album so I can see just how "underrated" this song is compared to the others. By the way, I'll need to know who's doing all this rating. I think you're just another person who doesn't know what "underrated" means.
Gotta disagree, Physical Graffiti is their best complete album. That's not to say every song on LZ IV isn't great, they all are, just that PG is even better. The genius of this particular song is that no single part is remarkable, but put them all together and it becomes a work of near genius.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve jammed the this song, usually when playing the entire album, partying with friends or by myself….it puts me in a comfort zone of good vibes and memories……glad you enjoyed it!
@@jonathanmoon86 A chorale. He was a session player on keyboards and bass and appeared on albums by Donovan and the Rolling Stones among other British acts of the 1960s.
It’s three notes and a few added to the breakdowns 😂 you people have to stop talking about these guys like they’re gods. Able musicians but pretty mediocre compared to what has come after them
That whole album (commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, aka Zoso aka Runes) is absolute fire. Possibly the greatest album they ever made. The fact that a banger like that gets less attention than some others is a testament to how great they are. And Amber, don't worry, probably 90% of people pronounce D'yer Mak'er wrong, including DJs, etc. FYI, its basically pronounced "Jamaica" with a Jamaican pronunciation (or similar to how it's pronounced in some parts of England). It's a reference to the old Dad joke: "I took my wife to the Caribbean." "Jamaica?" "No, she wanted to come."
Y'all will be pleasantly surprised to know that the Misty Mountains is a Lord of The Rings reference as they were a part of the Middle Earth landscape. Zeppelin has numerous song titles that are direct LOTR references!
Specifically The Hobbit, as the Misty Mountain plays a large role in the book. You could maybe stretch an argument about the Cops(authority figure) saying they have friends coming could be hinting at Gandalf having invited the Dwarves to Bilbo's place. At the end the narrator wants to pack up and go to the Misty Mountains.
@@keithosmond5730 It is literally about a police drugs bust in London's Hyde Park. Just because Plant threw in a silly line referencing the Misty Mountains right at the end doesn't mean the song is about Lord of the Rings. It isn't.
To ME, this is their most danceable song. I'm NO dancer, and I almost never do. But THIS song... makes me dance. I'm so glad you liked it. I didn't think I could love you guys more than I already do, but I do This song means so much to me. Led Zep means so much to me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh ... You made my night. MADE MY NIGHT.
When this album was released in November 1971 I bought it on 8-track, and during the course of the following two years COMPLETELY wore out three 8-tracks. Between this tune, "Stairway", and "When The Levee Breaks", I played that tape over and over and over so many times in the car. That was my Senior year in high school at Putnam City.
"D'yer Mak'er" (/dʒəˈmeɪkə/) is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. The title is a play on the word "Jamaica" when spoken in an English accent.[2] - "jermaker"
OMG. I haven't listened yet. I have requested you guys do this at least a few times. THIS is my FAVORITE Led Zep song. Almost no reactors do it. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I can't wait to watch this.
Love this song! Never thought of it as underrated. It takes you over hills where the spirits fly. How can you lose? Thanks for reacting, you guys rock!
That's part of what makes you two such great music lovers, the ability to hear each instrument. Most people can't do that, they listen to the music but they don't hear it.
It's a TRIP! 🤣🤣🤣 I Sat with the Music Lyric Sheets For EVERYTHING I Heard Growing up (And still Do ) But I now pull up the lyrics to new music I hear from the good Ole UA-cam
By the way, the title "D'yer Mak'er" is supposed to be pronounced with a heavy cockney accent, something along the lines of "Jer Maker", which can be heard as either "Jamaica?" and "Did you make her?" I believe it's from an old comedy skit where two Cockney fellows were having a conversation: A: "My wife's on holiday in the West Indies." B: "D'yer Mak'er?" A: "No, she went of her own accord." I guess they picked that name because the song had a reggae sound.
Most led zeppelin songs are inspired by the writings of J.RR Tolkien. The misty mountains, houses of the holy, the battle of evermore, even stairway to heaven is rife with Tolkien references. Good stuff
Most is an exaggeration. But there are several songs that do make references to Tolkien's works. Plant had a dog named Strider, so he was certainly a fan. But that is a small drop in the bucket of all of Zep's songs.
I wouldn’t say “most” LZ songs have LotR/Hobbit references, but there are certainly about 4 or 5 (including some oblique subtext in Stairway to Heaven). My personal favorite is Battle of Evermore, which features a glorious duet of Robert Plant and folk singer Sandy Denny (someone else who you should definitely dive into at some point). It’s probably the most specifically LotR track, being about the final battle against the forces of Mordor (“the Ring Wraiths ride in black”).
Yes, trippy vibe in the back and a happy go lucky feel with the band propelling it along. That album is fire from start to finish, another to try that is a little different but awesome is Four Sticks. They never let you down. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
@@merriwinkle7631 Awesome song that got the least radio play of any song on that album since it was released. For me, one if the best songs on it. Should be heard by modern audiences, big time!
The way you guys are spreading love and awareness of, in my opinion, the greatest eras of music... Is phenomenal. You're very young, maybe not expected to be interested in it culturally speaking but there's no rules in music! Your love and passion for all things music gives me hope for our future generations won't just forget what got us here ❤️ thank you for doing what you do.
I love Misty Mountain Hop! Definitely underrated. It has a special place in my life. I grew up in the east end of Toronto. During the late 70's and early 80's I frequented a roller skating rink on Rock Night (Friday nights'). They would have races during part of the evening and every time during the races they'd play Misty Mountain Hop. Such awesome memories.
FABULOUS SONG!!!! And it IS totally underrated. Because back then, music was played on the radio. They only played the released singles. There were radio stations that began this thing called “album rock” And they would play other less-known songs. But when I was in high school, everyone had this album. And it wasn’t underrated with us. Because we know it.
Rock and Roll from the 70s has an endless supply of hits. You should try Ozzy Osborne, “You Can’t Kill Rock and Roll” and The Who, “You Better You Bet”
Beatles and led put out many albums, and these 2 bands you can actually play straight thru without skipping songs you dont like, because theres no lousy songs 🤘❤️
I agree. The Beatles, especially from Rubber Soul onwards and most of Zeppelin’s catalog, which is why they are two of my favorite rock bands, though for different reasons.
Zeppelin’s one of the greatest. Love Bonham’s pounding drums on this one. If you like Robert Plant’s voice you should try listening to Geta Van Fleet. They’re a newer group of young guys and their singer will definitely give you the Plant vibe. Start with Highway Tune. Love you guys!
Eh.......not really. I mean, their studio records sound great, but the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who, Roxy Music, Bowie were ALL vastly more versatile than Zepplin
Eh.......not really. I mean, their studio records sound great, but the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who, Roxy Music, Bowie were ALL vastly more versatile than Zepplin
Mark Allen, Not true at all. No band or act went from delicate beauty to supersonic power. Only Zeppelin. They had so many eclectic meanderings in between. Bowie? Genesis? Roxy Music? You must be joking. None of them went to the extremes Zeppelin did. Zeppelin went from The Rain Song to When The Levee Breaks. They were unique.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Absolutely! None of them went from Black Mountain Side to Dazed and Confused,,, Tangerine to Whole Lotta Love,,, Thank You to Achilles Last Stand,,on and on. LZ has so many epic songs, they blow the competition away. Most people's favorite LZ song, is is the one they are listening to, until the next one starts playing. Ramble On, Stairway, In My Time Of Dying, Ten Years Gone, How Many More Times, Heartbreaker, Kashmir, Immigrant Song, No Quarter,,, there are too many to name, where people say a LZ song is their favorite.
This song was the B side of the song Black Dog way back when you could buy single hits they called 45's. Very often these B sides were far better than the hit! I miss those days , yet we did not have music at our fingertips. You had to buy the LP or hoped they played your favs on the radio.
I've always loved this song, and yes, it is so underrated! ALL LZ songs are trippy! And for your next LZ reaction, it would be great if you could do one of my favorites, "The Rain Song" (link to the best version below)! It's a completely different vibe and different side to them~ Thanks for this reaction, y'all! ✌💙✌ The Rain Song - ua-cam.com/video/BeDylD8dV7U/v-deo.html
They asked us to stay for tea. Love it. Robert is at his best with this song. I met Robert once (his mom went to school with my aunt) Great voice and a really down to earth guy. Going to put on the kettle now
I like how when the cops bust them and tell them to get in line.... the sarcasm lyrics of how the cops are going to bring more cops around have tea with them..the lyrics to this song from my favorite lyrics of all their Tunes
They used this song in the movie Almost Famous that you all watched a couple of months ago, it's when they are going to the hotel in New York, I never get tired of Zeppelin
Growing up, every song I heard in a commercial or in a movie that I loved turned out to be a Led Zeppelin song, including this one. When I first heard it in Almost Famous I had to download it right away and listen to it non-stop. Still one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs! Another one I love is Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman).
If you want to take a walk down the trippy side of Zeppelin try No Quarter, and also Dazed and Confused from the 1973 Madison Square Garden shows. It's on "The Song Remains the Same" CD. Extremely well done LIVE. Led Zeppelin was an incredible experience on stage 😎😯 They played every song with their entire heart and soul. They were one of the greatest LIVE acts EVER! The best band EVER! Period ❤ Love you guys!! 💯🤟
Oh yeah! This song is definitely one of my top favorite Led Zeppelin tracks!! I don't know how "underrated" it is, but this song is on my personal "Best of Led Zeppelin" playlist. 😁🤟
Can't go wrong with any Led Zeppelin songs. They are all great.
Ozone baby is awful
Some just a little greater than others. An album band. You put the needle on and sat back and took it all in!
@Michael Poore Truth!!
almost exactly what i was about to type
They're my 2nd favorite band, but even I don't make outrageous comments like this. They have roughly 100 songs in their catalog, and about 10 are masterpieces, 40 are great, 30 are good, and 20 are fair or worse. Which is *_incredible!_* It's an accomplishment rivaled only by The Beatles. You don't need to oversell Led Zeppelin with gross exaggerations.
The drums in this song are so effing bad ass.
And quite simple to play. 👍
There really isn't a bad or even a filler song on this album. Straight fire start to finish.
This is the filler song on the album, and it's still great.
@@YehudaBerlinger If anything, Rock and Roll is the filler song. This song is crazy good and original.
Seriously. Every song could be considered a headliner for any other group.
I'd say Going to Cali, maybe not filler, but I never liked it, and normally I love Jimmy on acoustic.
“A jam session that went incredibly right” I think Amber just nailed the entire essence of Led Zeppelin.
Funny she said that, since the origin story of Led Zeppelin is their legendary first time playing together in 1968 jamming on "Train Kept A-Rollin'," about which John Paul Jones famously said "the room just exploded."
Another Bonzo amazing moment. No one would even have considered playing it the way he did.

Keep suggesting it, Andrew. It will be quite the revelation once Jay and Amber listen to it. In fact, I’m going to listen to it again right now!
In my top ten,for sure. It will blow them away.
and then check out Yoyoka's drum cover of the song. This girl is John Bonham reincarnate. ua-cam.com/video/knoD7EV19H0/v-deo.html
As technical as Bonzo was with his drums he also has a "loose" feel to his playing. Almost a very relaxed feel. He was an amazing drummer. Multilayered and powerful.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Fool in the Rain" and "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"!!!

Living Loving Maid is one of my favorites but seems less appreciated. It’s got the LZ blues feel to it.
@@mcsplashyy thanks, and great idea.

OMG. I haven't listened yet. I have requested you guys do this at least a few times. THIS is my FAVORITE Led Zep song. Almost no reactors do it. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I can't wait to watch this.
Next up is "Ramble On" and "The Battle of Evermore"!!
Great song, always loved it!
One of my top 5 Zep songs, plus it’s awesome fun to play it on guitar! Let’s go!!
I love how you both just hear and feel the music. This song is great live too
Robert, Jimmy, John Paul, and John are like no other. They set the tone for Rock and Blues.
Love this song! Never thought of it as underrated. It takes you over hills where the spirits fly. How can you lose? Thanks for reacting, you guys rock!
That's part of what makes you two such great music lovers, the ability to hear each instrument. Most people can't do that, they listen to the music but they don't hear it.
John matching on the keyboard what Jimmy is jamming on the strings 😮, whew what a riff.
I've been eagerly waiting for this song. Glad you guys enjoyed it. You all nailed the reaction 👍. Thank you and God bless.
Led Zeppelin at its finest. The vocals on the verses are superhuman.
Can’t go wrong with Led Zeppelin release in 1971
Reminds me of playing frisbee in the park back when we were in high school… this song blasted on a good car stereo with the doors open!
Great choice! Love this one! "Dancin days" by Zeppelin is another good one ☺
It's a TRIP! 🤣🤣🤣 I Sat with the Music Lyric Sheets For EVERYTHING I Heard Growing up (And still Do ) But I now pull up the lyrics to new music I hear from the good Ole UA-cam
Very creative, I grew up with the song and had taken it for granted, thanks for breathing new life into old numbers
I’m such a huge Zep fan I name my oldest daughter Misty Mountain & my dog Kashmir
By the way, the title "D'yer Mak'er" is supposed to be pronounced with a heavy cockney accent, something along the lines of "Jer Maker", which can be heard as either "Jamaica?" and "Did you make her?"
I believe it's from an old comedy skit where two Cockney fellows were having a conversation:
A: "My wife's on holiday in the West Indies."
B: "D'yer Mak'er?"
A: "No, she went of her own accord."
I guess they picked that name because the song had a reggae sound.
Most led zeppelin songs are inspired by the writings of J.RR Tolkien. The misty mountains, houses of the holy, the battle of evermore, even stairway to heaven is rife with Tolkien references. Good stuff
Um no, there are maybe two or three songs that make reference to the hobbit and lord of the rings.
Most is an exaggeration. But there are several songs that do make references to Tolkien's works. Plant had a dog named Strider, so he was certainly a fan. But that is a small drop in the bucket of all of Zep's songs.
Yeah, you forgot Ramble On, he literally references Gollum and Sauron.
Haha. Zeppelin did around a hundred songs. Only two or three have any references to Lord of the Rings.
I wouldn’t say “most” LZ songs have LotR/Hobbit references, but there are certainly about 4 or 5 (including some oblique subtext in Stairway to Heaven). My personal favorite is Battle of Evermore, which features a glorious duet of Robert Plant and folk singer Sandy Denny (someone else who you should definitely dive into at some point). It’s probably the most specifically LotR track, being about the final battle against the forces of Mordor (“the Ring Wraiths ride in black”).
Long time Led Zeppelin fan here - I never “underrated” Misty Mountain Hop. Total LZ greatness! Great reaction. You guys totally get Led Zeppelin.
Yes, trippy vibe in the back and a happy go lucky feel with the band propelling it along. That album is fire from start to finish, another to try that is a little different but awesome is Four Sticks. They never let you down. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Interesting toward the end of the song, Page playfully only plays one note from the riff instead of the whole thing.
70 thumbs up for Four Sticks. I can't pinpoint exactly why I love it so, but it just makes me shine.
@@merriwinkle7631 Awesome song that got the least radio play of any song on that album since it was released. For me, one if the best songs on it. Should be heard by modern audiences, big time!
The way you guys are spreading love and awareness of, in my opinion, the greatest eras of music... Is phenomenal. You're very young, maybe not expected to be interested in it culturally speaking but there's no rules in music! Your love and passion for all things music gives me hope for our future generations won't just forget what got us here ❤️ thank you for doing what you do.
Led Zeppelin "No Quarter"...Nuff Said.
I love Misty Mountain Hop! Definitely underrated. It has a special place in my life. I grew up in the east end of Toronto. During the late 70's and early 80's I frequented a roller skating rink on Rock Night (Friday nights'). They would have races during part of the evening and every time during the races they'd play Misty Mountain Hop. Such awesome memories.
Also from this album, you have GOT to hit "Battle of Evermore!" This whole album kick ass, beginning to end.
I vote for "Four Sticks," but every single song from their first six albums are absolutely perfect.
FABULOUS SONG!!!! And it IS totally underrated. Because back then, music was played on the radio. They only played the released singles. There were radio stations that began this thing called “album rock” And they would play other less-known songs. But when I was in high school, everyone had this album. And it wasn’t underrated with us. Because we know it.
LED Zeppelin......I'm gonna crawl......great hit
Always been my favorite Zeppelin song.
ME TOO
Amber, you soooooo belong to this time of music!! Your dance moves match how we all grooved to this music back in the day. Lovin' it!!
Yeah. I think she’s a hippie at heart. 😃
Rock and Roll from the 70s has an endless supply of hits. You should try Ozzy Osborne, “You Can’t Kill Rock and Roll” and The Who, “You Better You Bet”
Agree, although You Better You Bet is early 80's
@@alrivers2297 it was produced in 1980. Regardless The Who was most notably known as a 70s rock band spanning mostly from the mid 60s to mid 80s.
@@acen2709 They really were a 60’s band that kept creating into the 70’s and beyond.
Best band ever.Love me some Robert Plant. Pinnacle is the perfect description for this band.
Beatles and led put out many albums, and these 2 bands you can actually play straight thru without skipping songs you dont like, because theres no lousy songs 🤘❤️
I agree. The Beatles, especially from Rubber Soul onwards and most of Zeppelin’s catalog, which is why they are two of my favorite rock bands, though for different reasons.
Every great and legendary band has a strong and powerful percussion section. John Paul Jones and John Bonham are just that.
Zeppelin’s one of the greatest. Love Bonham’s pounding drums on this one. If you like Robert Plant’s voice you should try listening to Geta Van Fleet. They’re a newer group of young guys and their singer will definitely give you the Plant vibe. Start with Highway Tune. Love you guys!
Timelessly innovative. You guys get it decades later. I was 15. Love you.
This is a jam
Always a winner with Led Zeppelin. 🤟🤟👍👍
Most versatile band ever. They did it all.
Eh.......not really. I mean, their studio records sound great, but the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who, Roxy Music, Bowie were ALL vastly more versatile than Zepplin

Mark Allen,
Not true at all.
No band or act went from delicate beauty to supersonic power. Only Zeppelin. They had so many eclectic meanderings in between.
Bowie? Genesis? Roxy Music? You must be joking. None of them went to the extremes Zeppelin did. Zeppelin went from The Rain Song to When The Levee Breaks.
They were unique.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Absolutely!
None of them went from Black Mountain Side to Dazed and Confused,,, Tangerine to Whole Lotta Love,,, Thank You to Achilles Last Stand,,on and on.
LZ has so many epic songs, they blow the competition away.
Most people's favorite LZ song, is is the one they are listening to, until the next one starts playing.
Ramble On, Stairway, In My Time Of Dying, Ten Years Gone, How Many More Times, Heartbreaker, Kashmir, Immigrant Song, No Quarter,,, there are too many to name, where people say a LZ song is their favorite.
Queen was by far the most versatile rock group.
This was a fantastic reaction by you guys. Amber 🥰😍 was sooo cute in this one. 🙏🏽✌🏽♥️
This song was the B side of the song Black Dog way back when you could buy single hits they called 45's. Very often these B sides were far better than the hit! I miss those days , yet we did not have music at our fingertips. You had to buy the LP or hoped they played your favs on the radio.
Would love to see a how many more times reaction, an underrated gem by led zep
I've always loved this song, and yes, it is so underrated! ALL LZ songs are trippy! And for your next LZ reaction, it would be great if you could do one of my favorites, "The Rain Song" (link to the best version below)! It's a completely different vibe and different side to them~ Thanks for this reaction, y'all! ✌💙✌
The Rain Song - ua-cam.com/video/BeDylD8dV7U/v-deo.html
love the Page & Plant concert that song or kashmire are the best
@@lynnberger6729 - Glad you liked it! It's one of my favorite videos! ✌💙✌
Y'all are absolutely correct. It IS a trip. You're going from where you are(Oklahoma) to the Misty Mountains of Led Zeppelin's trips.
They asked us to stay for tea. Love it. Robert is at his best with this song. I met Robert once (his mom went to school with my aunt) Great voice and a really down to earth guy. Going to put on the kettle now
I like how when the cops bust them and tell them to get in line.... the sarcasm lyrics of how the cops are going to bring more cops around have tea with them..the lyrics to this song from my favorite lyrics of all their Tunes
They used this song in the movie Almost Famous that you all watched a couple of months ago, it's when they are going to the hotel in New York, I never get tired of Zeppelin
I love the image of the police lineup that turns out to be an invitation to tea. Such a feel-good tripping-out hippie song. What a time to be young.
Misty Mountain Hop. Led lV. Greatest album of all.
One of my favorite from Zeppelin.
Gets me moving from first note.
Banger.
Growing up, every song I heard in a commercial or in a movie that I loved turned out to be a Led Zeppelin song, including this one. When I first heard it in Almost Famous I had to download it right away and listen to it non-stop. Still one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs! Another one I love is Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman).
I have listened to this one since the late 80s as a kid...its still one of my favorites..my fave on zep 4 for sure
If you want to take a walk down the trippy side of Zeppelin try No Quarter, and also Dazed and Confused from the 1973 Madison Square Garden shows. It's on "The Song Remains the Same" CD. Extremely well done LIVE. Led Zeppelin was an incredible experience on stage 😎😯 They played every song with their entire heart and soul. They were one of the greatest LIVE acts EVER! The best band EVER! Period ❤ Love you guys!! 💯🤟
travelling riverside blues is one that you'll definitely enjoy.. you're welcome. lol
Thank you needed some Led for the head before bed 😁
Oh yeah! This song is definitely one of my top favorite Led Zeppelin tracks!! I don't know how "underrated" it is, but this song is on my personal "Best of Led Zeppelin" playlist. 😁🤟
“They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun, he said ‘that his friends would all drop by…”. LMAO!
late 60's early 70s of course it's trippy lol :). zeppelin IV one of the all time best albums, released 71
