  • @henriettaskolnick4445
    @henriettaskolnick4445 2 роки тому

    This song is a bit of an homage to Canadian singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell whom both Robert and Jimmy were big fans of. When Joni got to the US, she settled in California which had a big folk music presence. Sometimes when they'd play this song in concert, after Robert sang the line "she plays guitar and cries and sings" he'd say "and she comes from Canada". Joni often used alternate guitar tunings for her songs, a skill Jimmy also often used for Zeppelin songs, including this song. Zeppelin have their own connection to California. California is the first place in the US that truly embraced Led Zeppelin's music. It was also the location of the infamous Hyatt House hotel (nicknamed the "Riot House") where the band would stay and was the scene for many legendary "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" type stories. When Jimmy was in California mixing the album this song was on, he experienced one of California's earthquakes, which is ironic considering the lyric "mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake".

    Trippy hippie vibes, man! "If you're going to San Francisco \ Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" Scott McKenzie "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" (1967) "Stairway to Heaven" and "The Battle of Evermore" were the other two trippy hippie tunes on Led Zeppelin IV. Welsh songstress Sandy Denny joined Robert Plant on "The Battle of Evermore". She was the only other singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin album. The band even assigned a special symbol for her on the liner notes to the album. If you've got a thing for angelic voices, then lend your ears to her voice. Her work with Fairport Convention is quite masterful. For a taste, check out "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", "Farewell, Farewell", "The Ballad Of Easy Rider", and "She Moves Through The Fair" among others.

    Brilliant choice guys. Brad, that was definitely NOT autotune, man. One reason is that autotune tune wasn't around in 1971 and the other is that Robert Plant is one of rock music's greatest vocalists. He has no need autotune: he can sing.
    And the guitars were Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on the other guitar as there's no bass. You should check out more of the acoustic, rustic side to Led Zeppelin. "That's The Way", "Gallows Pole", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", "Friends", "The Battle Of Evermore" and "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "Poor Tom".

    No auto tune on the Golden God, Robert Plant :) This is from their 1971 album. It's still Jimmy Page on guitar - he's an incredible composer. John Paul Jones (the bassist) is playing mandolin on this one.
    I'd definitely suggest The Battle of Evermore from the same album for another real folksy acoustic song (with guest vocalist Sandy Denny) where Jimmy Page plays mandolin and JPJ is on acoustic guitar. These guys really were incredible musicians. That's The Way is another great acoustic folksy kind of song. The third album (1970) has a bunch of really cool acoustic stuff. Friends is amazing; has that acoustic stuff, but still some awesome dissonance and heaviness. Gallows Pole, Tangerine, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp are all in that vein. Hats off to Harper is a very different feel, a tribute to Roy Harper with a panned audio with Page's slide acoustic guitar in the left channel and Plant's effect driven voice (really heavy echo and maybe some tremolo?) in the right channel. Funky, not for everyone, but I enjoy it.
    Back to the heavier stuff - I'd suggest you do Achilles Last Stand as soon as possible. It has a serious galloping drum/rhythm line for Brad to get behind, and fantastic guitar work for Lex to love. The Song Remains the Same is another with great drums and guitar work. I mean.. it's Zeppelin, the only songs that don't have great drums are the songs without drums - and they all have amazing guitar. You guys can't go wrong.

For me it was instant enjoyment. As you probably know by now, man starting over from failed relationship, time in Cali, earthquakes in Cali and shout out to the awesome and great songwriter Joni Mitchell is the song narrative.
    I was smirking when you said "this is a different sound from what I'm used to from led zepplin" what you guys didn't hear was the beast drummer John Bonham. You can't get the real led out without Bonham. Anyhoo great reaction and don't forget to smoke your stuff and drink all your wine ✌

    I always love when you react to Led Zeppelin - my favorite is a live performance of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" titled - Danmarks Radio 1969. It's an amazing performance of a very young band - even if you never do a reaction to it - watch it sometime for your own personal pleasure. There are 3 or 4 other songs from that same performance - all fantastic. Thank you for your reactions.

    Led Zeppelin has a huge acoustic library. Their 3rd album is mostly all acoustic except for two or three songs. Jimmy Page played some acoustic guitar on their very first album, an instrumental called "Black Mountain Side".

    A tribute to Joni Mitchell, who Plant & Page were fans of (The "girl with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair," the "queen without a king" who "plays guitar and cries and sings"),. She is a folk singer/songwriter (and later evolved into Jazz) from Canada who lived in Laurel Canyon in the mountains above LA in the late 60s early 70s. Great songwriter with the most beautiful voice you've ever heard. I recommend her song "California" though you can't go wrong with anything in her extensive catalog.

    Yup, NO autotune because...
    1) wasn't invented yet
    2) Robert doesn't need it
    That effect was achieved by 'distance mikeing" As in instead of singing into a microphone directly, the Mic would be in the other side of the room, if not outside in the hallway of a studio with the door open, in order to catch "natural acoustics ".
    You can hear this effect with the opening drum beat of "When the Levee Breaks" off of the same album. 'Distance Mikeing'
