"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song originally recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. Led Zeppelin recorded a cover version of the song for their fourth album, commonly referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV," which was released in 1971.
The Led Zeppelin version of "When the Levee Breaks" features a heavy drum beat played by John Bonham, which has become iconic in the world of rock music. The song also features bluesy guitar riffs and powerful vocals from Robert Plant.
The song was recorded in Headley Grange, a mansion in Hampshire, England, and the drum sound was achieved by placing Bonham's drums at the bottom of a stairwell and using microphones to capture the natural reverb of the space.
"When the Levee Breaks" has been covered by many other artists over the years and is considered a classic of both blues and rock music. - Розваги

This song was written 94 years ago! LZ recorded it 42 years later. Here we are 52 years later enjoying it. Unbelievable !!
The very definition of "timeless!"
Great music is ageless.
Isn't that just amazing!
Not quite the same song though.
Yes, and become better than source, and did not fallen in the forgiveness....
In an interview, Robert Plant once said that the day John (Bonham) died, so did Led Zeppelin. Thus ended the greatest rock band of all time. But Led Zeppelin will live on forever and will always be the band to be remembered as the very best of their generation.
I remember the day Bonham died !!! It was awful when Plant said they were done. He loved Bonham !!
I'm 64 year old blk Man so back in the early 70ies I head Zeppelin and fellbin love. Went to Afghanistan in 07 and took a box set of Zeppelin and while driving the hummer on patrol I had the ear phones on and this guy from my squad ask what was I listing to. I let this white brother hear it and they tripped out. A 50 year old brother listing to Zeppelin. I love it worked out to it fell asleep listing to it in the tint.
Bonham's drumming is literally like the relentless force of water rolling over everything in sight.
Great image!
,.... OK. Bro.!.... But to me it's more like a rolling thunder ~ announcing an F5 - tornado that approaches at any second to our poor souls 😮😮😮!!! BERNIE GERMANY 😊
Fuck yeah
Perfectly said! You’re so right, John’s drumming depicted the force of the water when the levee broke! Great analogy! This tune is ageless!!
Love John Bonham and his son
Still rocking to Zeppelin at 76years. I'll never stop!!!!!
Me to at 65
DITTO! ☮️💓🇬🇧
45 years ago Led Zeppelin lead a 15 year old white suburban kid to a lifelong love of the Blues. Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Albert King, B.B. King, and so many others.
Albert King Gone but not forgotten the only other lefty that is as good a Jimmy Hendrix
Bonzo (John Bonham) on drums. When he passed in 1980, the band agreed that without any one of their members, especially John, there was no Led Zeppelin. The band ended on his passing. Not one of these four could be replaced by anyone.
Except his Son.👋🎶🦘hi from Perth Australia.
Amen
@@justinthyme5382 Yes I remember a video of LZ rehearsing and not notice the drummer JB was not behind them playing. it was his son Jason playing and the other guys didnt even realise the difference.
I heard in an interview or something that when the band played on stage the group ended up gravitating around the drums. The members during the shows all ended up crowded into an area that was close by the drumming.
I also heard in the mid 70s Robert Plant was growing restless and wanted to spread his wings and explore other music without the band. Plant had also had a huge fight with his bff Bonzo and was so upset he told Peter Grant he wanted to leave the band. Or have Bonzo fired.. Grant told Plant he could go out on his own but, he would never fire Bonzo. He would fire Plant before Bonzo as he was more needed and important then Plant. Grant knew the value of Bonzo and how irreplaceable he was. Bonzo held the key and with JPJ were the driving engine of the group while Page and Plant were the showmen and enterrainment.
I always thought of Bonzo as a percussionist. He was more than just a drummer for the band, incorporating many instruments into his work.
Picture these guys as young British lads sitting down and listening to old American blues albums from the 1920's to 1950's that most Americans largely ignored. Especially Delta Blues. They listened, learned and made it their own. LedZeppelin!!
True. Love led zep
Led Zeppelin was one of so many Brit bands that ELECTRIFIED classic Black blues that "invaded" England in the 1940s and 1950s after America kind of turned its back on the blues. A whole new world for the rebirth of THE BLUES to impress and entertain. Throughout the 1960s, English musicians saw the beauty and heartache of the blues and plugged them into their electric guitars and keyboards plus large drum kits that morphed into the BRITISH INVASION, bringing The Blues back to where they started, the U.S.!
They also listened to newer blues like from the 60s with Stax and Chess records. This was cutting edge to those english lads and they listened, learned and sat and played it and honed it until it was perfection. No white guy in America could ever come close to the sheer raw and and true blues background of House of the Rising Sun as Eric Burdon. And the Stones breathed blues music. Same with Page and Plant.
One of the American bands who embraced blues wholeheartedly was ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons idolizes Muddy Waters, and you can see his influence from his playing to his singing.
Hangman was another. I was watching an old old John Wayne movie and an old Mexican woman was singing it.
My father would wake up at 5 and blast zeppelin through the house making breakfast. I hated it as a kid but I miss it so much. Can’t even listen to zeppelin without tearing up.
😂😢💕🙏
One spring in the '70s, after my Mom had left for work, my Dad would wake me and my sister up for school by playing The Allman Brothers good and loud. Sweet memories!
I'm 63 and I but Zepplin on every morning to wake up. My kids think I'm nuts.
Tears can heal.
This song was written about the great Mississippi river flood of 1927, that is why you hear all the Mississippi blues undertones ! I dig you guys' appreciation for great music.
Memphis Minnie and her male counterpart I don’t remember his name maybe you do…
The band members were huge Delta blues fans and took a private tour of the Mississippi Delta area in the 70s back way before the blues revival in the late 80s.
Maybe but the actual story being told is of a man being done wrong by his woman. He is about to cry a river of tears and the Levi will not hold them. The levy is gonna break
@@Briand-ei1gs Now that I can relate to. Levees dont exist in San Diego, so if it was about a real flood, means nothing to me.
I was listening to a Stevie Nix song, "stop dragging my heart around", I told my teen daughter, that is the female version of "dazed and confused",
Flood responsible for spreading a lot of music across the Midwest after 1927.
I love it when Robert Plant lead singer plays harmonica, John Bonham aka Bonzo on drums, John Paul Jones aka Jonsey or JPJ keyboards and Bass and of course Jimmy Page lead guitarist, producer and engineer. Best F’n band of the 70’s and the rock gods of my youth🥰✌🏻
Absolutely right!!
Have you heard the original
Great comment!
Plant is underrated as a harp player.
Same same ❤❤❤
got tears in my eyes. just came to the realization that Led Zeppelin's music will NEVER die and live on forever. future generations will discover it just like we did in the 1970's and just how this generation is discovering it now. enjoy the ride kids. there's so much out there ready to be discovered by this amazing band ! 👍🤙😎🤘✌
Led Zeppelin is the greatest band that ever was.
They also happen to be the best soundtrack to blaze up with.
Go put on a Zep album, ANY Zep album, and hit that shit. They are all designed to be rollercoasters for the mind. . .
100% agree
I REMEMBER WHEN THIS SONG BROKE. HOLY FUCKING SHIT .
I agree IMMENSELY!
Most definitely
First time I lit up at 17 the people I was with had the good sense to put on a Zep album. Mind blown!
The most magnificent band ever! Robert on that harmonica!
Incredible!!!
Led Zep can’t be pigeonholed. Four insanely talented Musicians.
My house flooded a few years back, as the water was rising all I could think was “crying won’t help ya, and praying won’t do you no good” . This song gave me weird comfort during a life changing event. Nice to see this reaction, thanks!
Led Zeppelin blended blues, soul, funk,and hard rock like no one before or since! The original GOATS
Zeppelin was often thought of as a rock band, but at heart they were a blues band.
back in '69 zeppelin performed a Live mini concert at a Danish television studio to promote their first album and introduce the band to the public. they performed on a small stage in front of about 30 kids that had no idea that what they were about to witness would go down in history as one of the most pivotal moments in Rock history. Plant and Bonham were in their late teens and Page and Jones were in their early 20's. they performed 4 songs, "communication breakdown", "dazed and confused", "babe I'm gonna leave you" and "how many more times". the entire concert is like 30 minutes long but OMG is it worth it.
Raw and in charge, that concert is a whirlwind, audiences back in the day were in a state of shock! Try them next year 1970 in Royal Albert Hall, their growth in one year is stunning! Enjoy. 🎸
All great, heavy rock, has a kernel of blues in it. Sometimes, a big lump of it. That's where the passion is...to my ears anyway. Carlos Santana talked about the importance of passion in a solo. I think he's right. Besides, this tune rocks!
That version of " babe" is probably their best imo. Nothing but raw talent 💯🔥
I believe that was in ‘68 because I saw them at the Winterland when the first album came out in ‘69. 😊
I have seen videos of cool bands in the late 60's on Danish TV. Right now I am thinking of Melanie, singing Lay Down, with all her might and a phenomenal, nationally known chorus backing her up!
The audience looked like they were viewing a painting. Tough audience. Even I, back in the day, who danced like SpongeBob Square-pants with a dash of MMA training, would have been on my feet for that performance. I am sure it is a cultural thing, but to my American brain, it looked like they put mannequins in the Audience. Eventually '--she and her gang got them to clap in time.
The drummer, John Bonham, was arguably the best rock drummer EVER, and the whole band were pretty much equally talented.
Who would argue with you? I wouldn’t.
No argument from me.
I’m with y’all !!! 😀😢🙏💕
And he did it on a 5 piece kit!
When you're good,..you don't need 20 drums!
GDAY ..NAH…IAN PAICE/ DEEP PURPLE…..HANDS DOWN BETTER ,..MORE TECHNICAL….J.B. WAS JUST A CLUNKING HACK IN COMPARISON…( HAVING SEEN BOTH IN CONCERT WAY BACK WHEN..)
The opening drum beat has been sampled in hip hop many many times. John Bonham was the truth.
Can’t help but think of 'Rhymin & Stealin' every time I hear this.
In my opinion, this is the most powerful rock tune ever recorded. Just supernaturally deep. You felt this poor singer drowning in a flood - like you said - Katrina
You should check out the cover A Perfect Circle did of this song during their concert at Red Rocks. The feel of the song changes to something etherial and haunting and totally gorgeous.
Soundtrack of my youth. Makes me happy to see people hearing it for the first time and being blown away.
I'm askin', "Is your mind blown? Tell me, is your mind just blown?" Four white cats pumpin' this soulful funkiest GRIND out over 50 Years ago? Wha-a-a? Makes the mind swirl, doesn't it? Beautiful, just beautiful! This band is the greatest treasure I've had the pleasure of listening to for 53 years now.
I have been into Led Zeppelin for over 50 years. Still my all-time favorite hard rock band. The had the best G.O.A.T. drummer, best lead guitarist, and lead vocalist, rock front man.
what about the glue that held them 3 forces of nature together. the brilliant JOHN PAUL JONES. bassist multi instrumentalist and arranger.
Although a British band…Zeppelin’s biggest inspiration was The Delta Blues. More Please!
“Baby, I’m Gonna Leave You”
Led Zep helped bring classic, but ELECTRIFIED, blues back to their birthplace -- America!!!
Breaks my heart that brothers don't listen to Zeppelin. All these British rock groups say they got their inspiration from Blues and soul music. Stones, Bad Company etc. These guys are true musicians.
John Bonham was a beast on the drums. That monster, heavy drum line was the cement foundation that held the entire group up. That's why, when he passed away, they just said it isn't Zep without Bonzo and disbanded.
Bonzo & JPJ *made* that band.
England was infatuated with America’s blues/jazz sound….Many English acts fused America’s sound with rock/roll and created music that stands the test of time…Shout out to the Bluesmen that influenced all of these artists.
LZ superfan here. Led Zep was one of the most versatile bands ever. They cover every genre, at times mixing it all up in the same song. 😎
Led Zeppelin: Rock Gods, period. Next reactions should be “Kashmir” or “ Since I’ve Been Loving You” ❤❤❤ Continue the Journey!!!!!!
Punk, blues ,country ,metal, classic rock, pop, indian music....led zeppelin does it all.
That's why the critics were hard on Led Zeppelin every new album. Because they would experiment and do different things on every album to the point where people would not like it because they were comparing it to what they did on their previous album. And then it would get popular because it was undeniably good.
Zeppelin ... A childhood journey that never ages ... Shame we are ... 😉
Great cover of a Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy song. No one did covers better than led zeppelin.
And CCR ...
@@billyrampersad1750 AGREED!!!! CCR is phenomenal.
Probably go with Elvis. Led Zep took inspiration, rifts, lyrics or sometimes the whole song. Elvis on the other hand, just took the whole song every time. Thing is alot of very early artists did. Even some early blues and jazz was covers or heavily influenced by folk songs. Thing is nobody ever had rights to songs before this early stage of music, so there was nothing to sue for. Most people later either paid, gave credits or gave a pay out before using the music.
@seeks252 Elvis never actually took songs from anyone. Unlike Zeppelin, Elvis didn't put out covers without ctediting the original composers. In fact, songwriters were clamoring to get Elvis to record their songs. Leiber and Stoller in particular. And unlike zeppelin, who in many cases did not credit the original composer until they were legally compelled to, the songs Elvis recorded and properly credited brought recognition and payment to the composers.
@@neillenet291 never said he didn't. But he still covered people's songs. Like a crazy git too, hardly one original song. Everyone knows Led Zep covered songs, but not many know Elvis did.
Only original thing he did do was die on the shitter 🤣🤣
The album recording: "Since I've Been Loving You" is a Led Zeppelin blues-rock fusion that will blow you away.
Psychedelia, folk, country blues,Chicago blues, heavy rock , Indian , Arabic, music Zep did the lot , no drum machines vocoder's or the sterile sound's that seem to permeate a lot of music today, totally unique , a time when artist's of all musical genre's could do their own thing without corporate intervention brainwashing the masses into just listening to the same old crap, MTV comes to mind. keep on rollin guy's and dig deep there are treasure to be found .. love, peace and enlightenment from the U.K .
another one of theirs you'll absolutely love, is their cover of the song "in my time of dying." "in the light" is one of theirs that will take you to church. and "ten years gone" will get ya, too.
When many bands from the 70s are forgotten, Led Zeppelin will be remembered, imho, because of their ability to interpret the blues tradition with talent and creativity.
They put out four of the best albums of all-time in 3 years
Im 60 years old and i rock them like i'm 20 again!!!! Never get enough of Zeppelin!!! We can only imagine what their full potential could have been if Bonzo hadn't died!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Bonzo is Fire!! His drumming is powerful and FIRE!🔥🔥🔥🔥
John Bonham was a big guy whereas I feel like a lot of drummers aren't. He just had a tremendous amount of power when he played. Incredibly talented... RIP
It’s never to late to learn an instrument and play it for fun- even three chords can. get you far in rock. 😊
3 chords? That wouldn't do it!
there's an old saying that a rock guitarist will play 3 chords in front of 10,000 people and a jazz guitarist will play 10,000 chords in front of 3 people...😉
@@kurtborchers6178 Lou Reed once said "One chord in a song is fine, two is pushing it, but three and you're into jazz".
@@juliemanarin4127 it’s a start and it’s amazing how many songs you can play. 😊
That drum line is my favorite of all time. So damn solid but that little stutter gives it just a touch of syncopation that's like a quick little shuffle. It drives a mean groove, man.
When you get to know Led Zeppelin, it becomes like a religion. Blues and rock mixed is my favorite. Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy are my personal favorite. Great video guys.
And Physical Graffiti
True!!!! I can't let go!!!❤
ZEPPELIN BADASS GOAT!!!!! Robert on the harmonica is always killer!!!!!
STILL my favorite Zep song, of their many MANY masterpieces.
His recording IS AMAZING! It was recorded in a zhouse called Headley Grange. The did this live with each person in a different room* John Bonham's Drum Kit was set up in a Stairwell! REALLY LISTEN* they were literally playing off each other. Amazing*
The drummer, John Bonham, often considered possibly the greatest drummer of all time. The particular drum sound on this recording itself is legendary, and a whole myth and mystery has arisen around it. Sometimes cited as the most sampled drum sound of all time. Though it is believed there was some kind of echo used on the bass drum, it is often said that the natural sound of the room he was recording in was particularly unique, and accounts for much, as well, of course, as the very heavy hit of the guy playing the drums...
NO HE WAS AND STILL IS WITH ME RIP
Recorded at Headley Grange with the Drums in the front entryway and the mic's upstairs
In the early 70s I saw them in concert...twice Seeing them preform this and others was amazing.
The fact that Led Zeppelin is still listened after 50 years speaks for itself. Saw them Three times in the 70”s , Great Highschool Memories! 😎🎸🎶
I’ve seen Robert Plant many times in concert! He’s a musical genius. He and Alison Krauss are in concert and you should listen to the new spin on this song! We all went crazy when the bridge of this song started. I absolutely love Led Zeppelin’s music forever!
Gentlemen welcome to our music party. We grew up listening to this marvelous music. I saw them twice live, and it was astounding.
Keep rolling through their catalogue, and you’ll be amazed at the soul, and musicality of Led Zeppelin.
John Bonzo Bonham on drums was the insperation to most modern day drummers some say the best rock drummer ever some other great songs , Lemon Song , Black Dog ,Kashmir,
I love ❤️ seeing people enjoy listening to zeppelin
Truly fantastic 👏
This music made a LOT of us made us wish we could play an instrument, and a lot of us went out and learned.
Let the music breath…so we can get their interpretation….right? Classic rock is like that…..let the geniuses have fun! That’s the best part🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🎶❤️
This song is like a powerful slow moving train...So glad you did the recorded version!! The live changes it up too much..js✌️💞
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy originally did this song. Can't wait for you to do "In My Time of Dying' by Led Zeppelin.
Kashmir from Led Zeppelin should be your next one (if you haven't done it already). It's been sampled so you may have heard some of it already, without knowing it's from Led Zeppelin. It's Robert Plant's favorite song from their music. Great reaction guys!!
Next from Led Zeppelin, I recommend another blues cover they turned into a masterpiece of their own called, *"You Shook Me".* (Use the studio album version.)
I LOVE You Shook Me! They will go CRAZY over that!😂😂
Guys, I am so glad that you understand the music. LZ plays so much blues. And they also were able to move beyond. I love the fact you do as my mother who was a classical concert pianist said, if the music moves you its great. One of my saddest days was, we were together driving down by River des Peres and they announced that Louis Armstrong had died. She pulled over we both hugged and cried.
The reverb on the drums draws me in The Harmonica gives the song energy. The band just melds so much sound in a brilliant way. This brings me back to my college days in the 70's
iirc the drums were recorded in a relatively small but 2 story high foyer in a townhouse, which is where the echo on drums comes from, not from any post-processing.
Wrong. It's both. Yes, reverb effects were applied to the drums.
@@tektoniks_architects - oh, you were there? Cool, tell us about it!
One of the great grooves of all time! It got me as soon as Bonham's drums begin the onslaught. These guys were the real deal, and after everyone was arguing Beatles or Stones in the 60s, it became Zeppelin or Floyd in the 70s. For more blues-rock goodness, try Since I've Been Loving You, studio first then live from the Song Remains the Same concert movie, either way, be prepared to be amazed once again. I've had Led Zeppelin T shirts since the 70s, there are so many reasons why they are still omnipresent in pop culture. The best! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
To me it's always been Queen and Zeppelin.
I was in a freshman in high school when this came out. John Bonham on the drums. He died in 1981 and they decided they wouldn't go on as a band without him. They got together in 2007 for concert with John Bonham's son on drums, and in 2012, it was put in Celebration Day documentary. Hope you check it out. It is perfection!
Helluva cool reaction, guys! This band will surprise you--always! They will surprise you with their RANGE, their SPECTRUM, and they will surprise you with how damn well they NAIL anything in that range they try their magical musical hands at! Rock on--y'all have tapped into the best!
The perfect combination of 4 excellent musicians.
You realize, don't you, that the lead singer is playing the harmonica?!?! The immense talent in this band.
It really does seem to encapsulate that drive and desperation around a heavy storm and the rising water on the levees down south. I am not a fan of covers in general but every song Zeppelin covered, they really mastered it.
Keep going down this rabbit hole it never gets boring.. only about 100 more songs to go 😊 GOTTA DO SINCE IVE BEEN LOVING YOU LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 73 it wont get blocked ever.gotta see them at their height of their powers
Memphis Minnie gets much respect for writing this! Thank you LZ for bringing it back to life!
I love the way they start it out bluesy, do a rock break, and then back to blues. GENIUS! Then of course the vocals of Robert Plant!!!! OMG
On my top 10 of all time. Puberty wouldn't have been the same without this one. 😅
Masters in Musicianship! It’s always just the 4 of them. The magic you hear in the studio is the genius of Jimmy Page producing, mixing.
Led Zeppelin are still the most important band in Rock n Roll history.
well i've been a led head for along time. i first saw them in '73. ppl
don't realize at the time, and still now they are the 4 greatest musicians to ever be assemble in one band. check
out- Since i've been loving you- MSG 1973
I really enjoy your Zeppelin reactions and would love it if you reacted to them more frequently. ;)
They were in a class of their own and no one could touch what they did. Pure magic. Led Zeppelin was composed of four of the most gifted musicians out there. Truly the GOATs.
Jimmy Page - guitar/genius producer
John Paul Jones - bass/keys
John Bonham - drums/percussion
Robert Plant - vocals/lyrics/harmonica
Edit: If you want to do a deep dive, I suggest starting with album 1, track 1 and just keep on going. Incredible to think how young they were when they recorded their first two albums (aged 24, 22, 20, 20 respectively).
they've been doing many Zep reactions, I've been watching everytime!
Where are they? I only see two
@@26shedan Doing a search on their channel, I only see three Zeppelin reactions in the past three months.
Bonzo is my favorite contemporary drummer, so good. He plays in a jazz / swing style with such power. I’ve been studying his drumming scene the 70s He’s above my pay grade. Lol.
Is it wrong that I tear up everything I hear this song? This is my favorite Zep song.
One of my favorite songs by my favorite band.
Their music catalog covers many many genres, but I would say blues is by far the most represented. Zeppelin covered many many American blues artists , Memphis mini, Willie Dixon, lead belly etc etc etc. They idolized and emulated the original American blues masters .
This drum riff has been heavily sampled. It’s one of the most recognizable riffs ever.
In my time of dying
You shook me
Since I’ve been living you
Like so many other British rockers, Zeppelin were enamored with American Blues music. Great reaction, gentlemen.
The English gave it to them.
The recording is priceless. It defies their time of creating music. They are the trend setters.
For me, the greatest blues recording.
Memphis Minnie is an important blues figure.
Babe im gonna leave you is my fave Zeppelin song,,,studio version of course !!!!!!!!!! THANKS
Guys, John Bonham was not a drummer, he was an artillery squad!
As for the unknown guitarist, well he's the air force!
Greetings from Brazil.
Led Zeppelin said many times they were obsessed with the early blues artists Muddy Watters and Skip James as influences. After knowing that it all makes sense
Awesome guys 😎 the drummer is considered one of the top 3 drummers of all time. Perhaps #1. You said it right, when the levy breaks gotta go to Chicago
Dope
Another great blues based track by LZ is - "Since I've been lovin' you", live at Maddison Square. It's a real killer!
Head banging music is what we called it. You guys enjoying Zeppelin lets me know that the band is traveling well with time. Their catalogue of music is perfection.
Love these brothers. Great reaction video. Memphis Minnie recorded this song back in the day.
If you want to expand your minds a little more, there is a music project called Playing For Change(PFC) that uses singers and musicians from around the world to remake classics like this. JPJ plays bass on that track and it’s a great rendition.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone play the air harmonica.🤣 They _DO_ make the harmonica sound bad-ass. Sickest drumbeat _EVER._
I love watching you guys groove to The almighty LedZepellin..so many more songs...
One is never too old to listen to Led Zeppelin
Among everything else commented here already... the harmonica and that drum beat so tight... AND this song was sampled by Beastie Boys - who also used the LZ song "The Ocean" in another song. They were big fans of LZ ❤
It's such fun watching others experience the magic that I grew up listening to! And Zep was definitely magic! It's crazy how 4 Brits can express the blues the way that they did! Actually, all of their songs sound totally different and touch on many styles of music. Jimmy Page can play anything! They set up Bonzo's drum kit in a stairwell to get the amazing acoustics on this song. I enjoy all genres of music, they all have somethng special about them, but I'll always be a classic rock baby. As Robert Plant says in Over The Hills And Far Away, "Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing". For your next song I would suggest "Since I've Been Loving You" which I consider their masterpiece. You earned my sub
this makes me so happy to see people being open and exposed to music. No gatekeeping just all love! Have a whiskey and a blunt and enjoy!❤❤❤❤
the groove and pocket that Bonham sets up - his dynamics and subtle changes - just terrific.
Love your reactions! If you get a chance, even if just it's just for your own enjoyment, please listen to the Playing for Change version of this song, When the Levee Breaks .it features John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass, and other musicians from around the world. It gives me chills every time I listen to it... absolutely beautiful!!!
