We were so damn blessed to grow up with this music. Each one of them are a master at what they do. Such a shame they lost Bonham so young :( Imagine what they could have done if John hadnt died...
I agree and after you really get to know the music, members and The Legend that Led Zepplin is then go watch The Kennedy Honor Awards show when Led Zepplin was Honored in They had the Best Honoring them that night, But Hearts Performance with Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham their drummer and friend that passed away plays drums with heart for the finale of the show, and watching Led Zepplins remaining member in the balcony watching this performance, as if you can see every emotion from them and brought many smiles and tears threw out for myself. Growing up getting to know them and all the music and music makers of that era was Awsone Lucky indeed we were ! enjoy I love that alot of younger generation is finding the best music made !
That's Robert Plant singing and you're right, it sounds like his voice sounds like it has its own voice. Never thought about it like that.... Zeppelin is probably THE most beloved and talented bands ever to hit a stage. It makes you FEEL.... WAAAAAY Dowwwwn INSIDE.....
I saw them live at Day On The Green in Oakland in 1977. I was 18 and that concert I will never forget it. The opening bands were Judas Priest & Rick. Derringer..So back then we saw 3 bands for the price of one ticket...I did allot of chores to pay for all the concerts we all went to....Zepplin is the best rock/blues band ever...Do a reaction to "Highway to Heaven" which I believe was there biggest hit and it is around 11 minutes long...
Led Zeppelin is Jimmy Page's (guitar player) band, Robert Plant is the singer. The 70's were all about sex and drugs and rock and roll, and Zeppelin were the gods of all three. This song was released in late 1969.
I heard this tune back in 69 just weeks before I shipped out to Vietnam, I spent 1 1/2 yrs. there and it was a total mindf*ck. Then came home to a populous that hated us veterans. The WWII vets called us losers and the young called us baby killers. There was no. "Thank you for your service", there were no parades, we became the forgotten warriors. Civil rights was at the forefront with riots, protests and finally the National Guard opening fire and killing college students at Kent State University. A lot of the music was meant to take you away and it worked. In Nam the music kept us sane in an insane place, add some weed and a beer and drift away to another world. A lot of music had positive peace messages as well as bitter social commentary about the folly of the war. This ragged on till 1975 when the war was finally winding down. From the mid 60's thru the 70's some of the best and most revered musicians created the best music that has stood the test of time.. Your commentary seeing you hear this stuff for the first time takes me back to my first listen. I'm now in my 70's and still get choked up hearing Pink Floyd, Led Zep and Ly Sy, check out "It's a Beautiful Day",(White Bird), Janis Joplin, Moody Blues, The Band, Procol Harem, Traffic, Al Kopper (Super Session) and the list goes on and on. Enjoy!!!
Bass player is John Paul Jones...he is a beast. Along with everyone else in the band. This isn't even a scratch on the surface. Find the live double CD How the West was Won. Zep at thier finest.
Love Led Zeppelin. Back then parents said rock was going to be the death of a generation 🤷♀️ Funny thing is a lot of the lyrics were "borrowed " from old blues songs. But the white majority never heard those songs so this was a shock to the system 😄
Anyone who wants some truly good music in their lives, would do well to explore the top 100 rock songs for each year, in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. What, you're Black? Not white? Expand your horizons young men! Never be afraid of experiencing new things. When you are laying in your death bed, you will regret not experiencing things you could have. Get over your mentality of us vs them. That's the man making you feel that way...keeping people divided so we don't pay attention to what he's doing. Open you mind, and start seeing the world in living color. EDIT: Anyway, explore those charts. You won't like every song, but you WILL find songs that you want to download and add to your library. These are the same songs that the movie industry digs up to put in movies when they want to add some flavor to the movie. Songs that stand the test of time.
I agree and for a fun book my Best friend bought me the book for my 60th borthday " everything I know I learned from Led Zepplin written in Dick and Jame style elementry school book, with lyrics and meanings etc. . cute book framed it and in our bedroom , my husband smiled and being 16 yrs older then I asked if he was getting a all I know I learned from Bob Dylan book for his Birthday to frame and hang LOL
I subscribed to your channel with the hope that you are going to continue on the Led Zeppelin journey. Keep it to the studio recordings, as it highlights the magical production skills of Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page, who founded the band and produced every album. Peace
Led Zeplin are Rock Gods. That being said, you must go thru their catalog. You have a 65 yo fan from Texas. I admire your honesty. Thank you, young man.
British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Them and Led Zep were listening to southern Delta Blues and they brought their versions back to the States. If you listen to a more recent Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters you'll hear where he went and now he dabbles with country and western with the likes of Alison Krauss. These guys are life long musicians. The late 60s and early 70's were still counterculture, revolution and hope fueled by our youth! Woodstock (69), antiwar (Vietnam), early Glastonbury festivals.
oh ok 1st all music sounded like sex back then lol no really I like the fact that 60's, 70's m8sic my generation Al it of songs were talking about sex drugs lots of things but in code, like we just knew. but for this song, maybe sex ? bit he was Always sounded Good like this not matter the lyrics. . . every band member was unique and talented, look at Jimmy pages guitar ! hey and he was the master of a guitar . .
I most certainly was not conceived to this song and I maintained the illusion that my parents had never had sex for as long as I could. I'm loving the reactions to the music that I took for granted my entire life. I was too young to remember this being released, but I still cut my teeth to classic rock, psychedelic rock and of course Southern rock. I'm up for almost any genre up until the 2000's when it went down the toilet. I have been given hope by the new independent artists though.
Released the year I was born! These guys were the start of my love of rock. Some of the best music ever made. So glad you reacted to this! Jump on in, this Rabbit Hole is FIRE!!!!!
I was 11 years old when this was released, and it basically made my brains squirt out of my ears. As to what song I was conceived to, Ma said it was Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis.
Released November 1969. One of my favorite rock bands of all time. I was 15 years old when this song came out and I was blown away by their music. The drummer John Bonham was a beast and Jimmy Page was among the top guitarists of the time; and the vocals of Robert Plant. I was a teenage Zep Head. Lol !
It was violinist David McCallum Snr who suggested Jimmy Page should bow his guitar. David Mccallum Jnr is Ducky in NCIS. He was famous for being in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in the sixties.
Memories of my dad yelling at me to turn that dam music down 😂 was always spinning Led Zeppelin , CCR , Cream , Guess Who , Santana bunch of other back in those days .
He can give me his love any day! 😘 Love that you're listening to Brit music too 🎶..I just found you so keep on finding British tunes.. I LOVE seeing your reaction! 😂
I wouldn't say this was so much a lovr song of that Era. More of a song about the act from a newly emerging style at the time:. hard rock. Good $#!+ man. I grew up to my dad playing this.
I saw them as a teenager in ‘69 in San Francisco. I was totally blown away. Especially when they did The Lemon Song. 😂 Led Zep along with many classic rockers had their music based in classic African American blues songs- as was this one!
Welcome to getting the Led out... you think he was confident here? Try Black dog. Led zeplin's masterpiece ( compaired to queen's bohemian rhapsity) is stairway to heaven. Their tribute to the Norse Gods, The Immigrant song...
@@TooBlunt Black Dog! The song they couldn’t think of a title for, so they named it after the black dog they’d been seeing out the window while recording it. 💥
I love this song and I am writing this out as you react to it... so yeah it's all over the bored in a good way... that rift... 😆 his voice has soul, and depth... I wouldn't consider it a love song, lol but you could give a whole lot of love with it lol... twist and turns in the sheets brother... looks like you was looking for JC, at one point lol... 😆 🤣 it wouldn't surprise me lol... daddy was a rolling stone and never kept it in the cage, I have 5 or 6 half brothers and one half sister all us have different mom's, and with that mom, we each have another set of half brothers and half sisters.... Yeah I did at one time hate him with a fire passion... but as a man I grew stronger and became the better man, and a greater Father... and now I try to embrace my other half bothers to do the same the youngest one 21, at the moment well... I can't go in to details but know they are states apart from each other and personally I hope it stays that ways until my little half brother grows out of his feelings and sees being a better Father is the best revenge he can have and enjoy...
Well yes. Robert Plant was one the top ten rock vocalists, ever. And Jimmy Page was one of the top ten guitarists. And John Bonham was one of the top ten drummers. And John Paul Jones was one of the top ten bass players. *But other than those four, the whole band SUCKED!!!* 😁
This was huge when I was a teenager - even though it came out first about 5 years earlier - Everyone went crazy on the dance floor when it came on. (I'm 61)
I remember walking through my village in mourning with all my friends cus we heard Led Zep were breaking up 1980!! We went to Wakeys house to listen to Stairway to heaven in memoriam (my first time hearing it) whilst we played Sebutteo Cricket!! They were still God's of rock when we were teens and they still are!! 🇬🇧
It was the late 60's, man. The Vietnam War was raging, the hippies were protesting everywhere, 1967 was "The Summer of Love" in San Francisco. Acid was everywhere. While not ecstasy, it can evoke some of the same feelings. And yes, I loved your subtle use of the "tripping" effect during the "weird" part of the song. That was awesome. :) I'm not sayin' Zep was trippin', but damn near everybody was back then. I was a little kid, and my folks weren't down with that shit. But my older siblings were. So while I wasn't experiencing that back then, I know plenty about it. My decade for decadence was the 80s. A bit different. The late 60s saw many societal changes occurring at once in the US. Post WWII-US was all 1950s TV family clean-cut crap. When the gov't started sending our young men off to a place called Viet-Nam to fight a people we had no beef with caused the youth to rebel. The late 60s were a violent time in America. Cities burned. Frequent rioting. And music was changing with the times. In addition to the societal influences, rapid technological changes were facilitating hyperevolution in music. Mix those drugs in there with all of this stuff, and you get some of the most awesome music ever made. Zeppelin was IT in the 70s. They were beyond huge, man. But they weren't charting hit after hit. Their ALBUMS sold like hotcakes, and still do, if they sold albums. HA! It wasn't bubble gum pop, and subsequently didn't get the airplay for #1 hits. But these dudes are legends. Their music encompasses a wide variety of influences. Highly recommended!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of one of the most iconic rock bands that ever happened on the planet. The mix of blues and rock....their catalogue is nothing to miss, Keep diving!! And I was born before the song came out. :) This was an era of anti war, hippies and free love. (Oh....and being a back door man is not about rump sex...its more a description of the guy who slips in the back door when your significant other leaves. )
Led Zeppelin was an amazing band with only 4 members, but each one was a true master of their craft. There are so many fantastic songs in their catalog: Stairway to Heaven is often considered the #1 rock song of all time., but there are so many others that deserve your attention: Kashmir No Quarter Thank You Going to California The Rain Song Black Dog The Immigrant Song Since I've Been Loving You and many, many more....
Great reaction friend - Led Zepplin is one of the all time greats! So many good tunes by them - Stairway To Heaven, When The Levee Breaks, Cashmere, Black Dog, tons more. You might check out also ZZ Top (my fav is I Gotsta Get Paid based off 25 Lighters Houston Hip Hop song). Bad Company. I'll look at more of your reactions before I throw more out. Thanks!
How many of you were conceived to this song?
My youth! 🥰🤘🏻 Robert Plant is 73 and still singing.
I may have conceived one or two of y’all..
Of course the adults of my day hated Led Zeppelin. I was born in 1954, so parents like the Big Band Era of the late 1930's and of the 1940's.
Sadly, no 🤣
"""Every-inch-of-my-love""" to yh'- all, want b yr backdoor man yh'- all ❤️🩹 Xxx.
We were so damn blessed to grow up with this music. Each one of them are a master at what they do. Such a shame they lost Bonham so young :( Imagine what they could have done if John hadnt died...
Same for Freddie mercury :(
Yes you were, my father, by the grace of God, gave me 3 vinyl's when I was a kid, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Suzi Quatro... Made who I am
1969, the summer of love. Zeppelin changed the face of rock and roll
Not to be picky but '67 was the summer of love. 🙂
@@SoloGuitar1000 You beat me to it.
Jimmy Page brought this new sound to the then-pretty-tired folk, summer of love stuff. It was a good move
I will be hearing "this guy's voice" in person this July. I've waited 40 years. Plant can sing the damn phone book and I will be THRILLED.
Led Zeppelin is timeless and my personal favorite of this Genre. Welcome to The rabbit hole!!! You’re gonna get rocked😏
I agree and after you really get to know the music, members and The Legend that Led Zepplin is then go watch The Kennedy Honor Awards show when Led Zepplin was Honored in They had the Best Honoring them that night, But Hearts Performance with Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham their drummer and friend that passed away plays drums with heart for the finale of the show, and watching Led Zepplins remaining member in the balcony watching this performance, as if you can see every emotion from them and brought many smiles and tears threw out for myself.

Zeppelin is probably THE most beloved and talented bands ever to hit a stage.
It makes you FEEL....
WAAAAAY

INSIDE.....
I love seeing the younger generations' reactions to our generation's spectacular music ! We were so lucky !
You just watched the greatest rock band of all time! And the greatest guitarists !
Get the led out and enjoy the rabbit hole
Zeppelin was so far ahead of their time!!!
Robert Plant's voice always sounded so unique to me because it didn't really sound like a male voice or a female voice but something in between.
So true!!
Those drums that's all John Bonham.... The best drummer on the planet
One of THE best rock bands with one of THE BEST singers EVER!!!
Led Zeppelin, Cream, Moody Blues, Iron Butterfly, Santana! We knew how to rock. Still do!
I saw them live at Day On The Green in Oakland in 1977. I was 18 and that concert I will never forget it. The opening bands were Judas Priest & Rick. Derringer..So back then we saw 3 bands for the price of one ticket...I did allot of chores to pay for all the concerts we all went to....Zepplin is the best rock/blues band ever...Do a reaction to "Highway to Heaven" which I believe was there biggest hit and it is around 11 minutes long...
please take the leap into the rabbit hole of Led Zeppelin! We will not be disappointed !
Best band of all time, welcome down the rabbit hole. Check out their live stuff dude.
Led Zeppelin is Jimmy Page's (guitar player) band, Robert Plant is the singer. The 70's were all about sex and drugs and rock and roll, and Zeppelin were the gods of all three. This song was released in late 1969.
Thanks for the info and yeaaaa I can tell by this song they were getting wild
Remember to respect the senior citizens, we were getting it way before your day! Puts it in perspective. Brilliant!☮️❤️
Back in the day, we had real music...😏 I was 18 when this came out. 🇳🇿
This song made us blush back in day. I'm sure it won't have the same effects on you young one's today.
I heard this tune back in 69 just weeks before I shipped out to Vietnam, I spent 1 1/2 yrs. there and it was a total mindf*ck. Then came home to a populous that hated us veterans.

I think Roberts just expressing himself thru his voice 🫣
4 GOATs in 1 band...
Welcome to the greatest band of all time. Happy journey down this rabbit hole. Kashmir, Black Dog ...
Kashmir ....oh yeah...brings back some memories.
They are one of the most diverse band out there. Hopeful you will take a dive and explore their music. You will be amazed. Love your channel. 😊
Bass player is John Paul Jones...he is a beast. Along with everyone else in the band. This isn't even a scratch on the surface. Find the live double CD How the West was Won. Zep at thier finest.
JPJ is on my top 5 favorite bass players of all time list
Love Led Zeppelin.
Back then parents said rock was going to be the death of a generation 🤷♀️

The best of British baby!!
One of the best stereo mixes in music history! The album was released in 1969 but the single was released and became a hit in 1970 in the USA.
Led Zeppelin ✌️☮️ ❤️. Good days 🌸
✌️
This is rock and roll you just don't pause that many times just listen to the music
British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Them and Led Zep were listening to southern Delta Blues and they brought their versions back to the States.

Since I’ve Been Loving You live from msg really showcases the band. They were phenomenal ✌️
LED ZEPPELIN, the greatest Rock Band of all time. Period
Led Zeppelin IV is their best album! The whole album 💚💙
Dude !! You're given me flashbacks from that effect !
Led Zeppelin was the most amazing band - - #1 in my opinion. Beatles and The Rolling Stones are 2nd and third.
This song changed rock music forever.
The Robert Plant rabbit hole....its deep...Zepplin is legendary.
Check out Since I've Been Loving You live from 1973.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. I'm gonna sub just to watch you react like I did 40 yrs. ago 👍🔥
You're becoming one of my favourite reactors, partly for your own cheeky charm but also for your great taste in music, Jinjer, Queen and now Led Zep

🤣🤣 that first sentence was too funny. And there’s a lot more old rock/70s-90s music coming :)
@@TooBlunt Add some Pink Floyd to your channel, please! Love the title you put on this video 😂
If you like this you need to hear and experience Innagadadavida by iron butterfly! the best drum solo !

this has been my favorite led zeppelin reaction thus far, disappointed to not find other led zeppelin reactions from you, hoping you do more
This was the title song for Top of the Pops for decades in the U.K. . . . With out the lyrics though.
Idk why it’s giving me so much joy watching you discover all these older bands and songs. But it does so thanks
Led Zeppelin is the band. Four of the greatest musicians making the best music you'll ever hear.
They are all master musicians. That's what makes them so phenomenal.
Well yes. Robert Plant was one the top ten rock vocalists, ever.
And Jimmy Page was one of the top ten guitarists.
And John Bonham was one of the top ten drummers.
And John Paul Jones was one of the top ten bass players.
*But other than those four, the whole band SUCKED!!!*
😁
The vibe of the song was the theme like the 70's was Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll and some of us where lucky to Survive it. Aka Gloria Gainer
Best band ever
I'm 62...Zeppelin was tha absolute greatest! Do their live performances! This was out in 1969 or 1970
your thoughts and associations are brilliant
So Glad you did Led Zeppelin. I grew up in the 70's. I feel so blessed to have listened to all the great music of that time. So many great bands.
You bust me up, dude. ha ha haaaa "Is this euphoria?" Me: nah, he's bustin' a nut. You: "Oh, he's bustin' a nut."
Fecking classic.
Welcome, my young brother! Time to get the Led out and jump down the rabbit hole! Too many great songs to suggest. Love your work, man! Peace
I was eleven when this came out! I’m 63 now! ROCK ON!
This was huge when I was a teenager - even though it came out first about 5 years earlier - Everyone went crazy on the dance floor when it came on. (I'm 61)
Your reaction to the line "I wanna be your back door man" is priceless
You just heard the rock Gods!! More Zepp bro...If you see them live you'll see the swag. Checkout any song from Madison Square Gardens 1973
"His voice has a voice" - pretty much summed it up. Best description of the best rock vocalist ever.
Love your reactions, so much energy and appreciation for discovering new (old) music. Keep on going.
I remember walking through my village in mourning with all my friends cus we heard Led Zep were breaking up 1980!! We went to Wakeys house to listen to Stairway to heaven in memoriam (my first time hearing it) whilst we played Sebutteo Cricket!! They were still God's of rock when we were teens and they still are!! 🇬🇧
This is a worthwhile catalog to dive into. So much here.
This will blow your mind!! Biggest band of all!!
I was 17 when this came out and I was introduced to it by the man who became my husband. Need I say more?
This is one of the rock songs that changed EVERYTHING. Blunt force trauma in the very best way. Loved your reaction and your lyrical analysis.
I was 9 when this came out and they were my first concert in 1973 at 13 years old. No adult supervision. Tripping balls...
Greatest band ever! Welcome to Led Zeppelin

And music was changing with the times. In addition to the societal influences, rapid technological changes were facilitating hyperevolution in music. Mix those drugs in there with all of this stuff, and you get some of the most awesome music ever made.
Zeppelin was IT in the 70s. They were beyond huge, man. But they weren't charting hit after hit. Their ALBUMS sold like hotcakes, and still do, if they sold albums. HA!
It wasn't bubble gum pop, and subsequently didn't get the airplay for #1 hits. But these dudes are legends. Their music encompasses a wide variety of influences. Highly recommended!
Glad you like. Zeppelin transcends time
Saw them in concert in 78-79 with bad company in Maryland. Blew my mind.
Plant---and Led Zep---definitely had the swagger. The OG of hard rock.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of one of the most iconic rock bands that ever happened on the planet. The mix of blues and rock....their catalogue is nothing to miss, Keep diving!! And I was born before the song came out. :) This was an era of anti war, hippies and free love. (Oh....and being a back door man is not about rump sex...its more a description of the guy who slips in the back door when your significant other leaves. )
When I heard this going on Dad's Sony reel-to-reel on a Sunday afternoon with my parents nowhere to be found... I knew what was going on.
Pure talent no auto tune. 4 guys on a stage
Led Zeppelin was an amazing band with only 4 members, but each one was a true master of their craft. There are so many fantastic songs in their catalog:
Stairway to Heaven is often considered the #1 rock song of all time., but there are so many others that deserve your attention:
Kashmir
No Quarter
Thank You
Going to California
The Rain Song
Black Dog
The Immigrant Song
Since I've Been Loving You
and many, many more....
Great reaction friend - Led Zepplin is one of the all time greats! So many good tunes by them - Stairway To Heaven, When The Levee Breaks, Cashmere, Black Dog, tons more. You might check out also ZZ Top (my fav is I Gotsta Get Paid based off 25 Lighters Houston Hip Hop song). Bad Company. I'll look at more of your reactions before I throw more out. Thanks!
