Today, December 3rd, is my moms birthday. She would’ve been 70. When I was a kid, every Sunday when she’d clean the house & get everything ready for the week, she’d put Led Zeppelin IV on the record player and we’d rock out. Good memories. Today I listen to this in her Honour. Cheers friends!!
This goes out to m. B. God bless our moms! I use to rock out all the time listen to this m. B. We are from bensonhurst Brooklyn new York, the area where Saturday night fever was filmed, John Travolta , disco land, ,well any way we were the only rocked out family on the block, my bothers all had long hair, motor cycle jackets, tattoos the works. My mother's favorite of all that she loved was Wendy o Williams from the plasmatics, I swear she adored her, and her favorite song was butcher baby. She would put on the album new hope for the wretched when she was washing the dishes and when that song came on , she was wendy. My mom loved , loved, loved her! When I was working at my job in the village in new York 2 weeks later I was looking out the window and I saw Wendy crossing the street, I ran out and introduced myself I couldn 't believe it! I first told her about my mother, she was so cool,
.to m. B. So I told her what big fans me and my mom are and she said she can come the next day to my store to sign some autographs and take some pix and to bring my mom if I can, I was like really Wendy? She was like sure. I went home and told mom, she was in shock. So the next day she came , I brought all my albums and pix and all kinds of stuff I had on the plasmatics and w.o w. My mom and I took alot of pix with her and we talked for 2 hours and she signed everything. She even said that I dad .
In the 80's I got yelled at by the station owner for playing this whole album on the air, commercial free, with no breaks for station identification. Lol. Totally worth it!!
I'm sixty five years old and when I listen to this album I am 15 years old again! Many other great bands in my good old days but Led Zeppelin is #1. Led Zeppelin forever, forever Led Zeppelin!
Rich . I feel the difference as ,Back then , not just LZ but all the great bands of that time frame ( Yes,DP,Tull,Genesis,Moodies etc ) when they came out with albums .... it was an EVENT ,. to be anticipated , then you went to a record store , bought said new release , listened & dissected every bit of vinyl till the grooves wore down so far you had to go buy it again & again

One of The Great albums of all time. Classic. I'm from Sweden but I bought it in a record store when I was in London. Thank you for post it. TAKE CARE.
I bought this album when it first came out, I was 13. Had not heard any songs on it, but figured it's Zeppelin, gotta be good. I took it home, put it on, and listened in stupefied, jaw dropping amazement. 51 years later, it still defies description. It will be a classic 1000 years from now.
I became a fan after stumbling on zeppelin 2 in 1992 at the tender age of 14. I always wondered how amazing it probably was when the world realized what they had in the 4th album particularly stairway to heaven I bet it was just mind bending and awesome so lucky you ppl of the 70's were there! front row!! so amazing!! ♥
As the generation of kids of your generation at 35 I can attest that this checked out when I was a child, now, and my child at 9 years also confirms. 100% timeless gem stone.
Even I, a Japanese person, love every song on this LP record! In 1971, I was still in elementary school, and it was about 10 years later when I became a high school student that I learned about it.
On a side note, my oldest sister got me addicted to Zeppelin in the 60’s as she bought their albums when they were first released. Rest In Peace Marieann. Gone but never forgotten.
wagging school, closing all the blinds ,throwing on this album, lighting one Winnie blue after the other ,singing my heart out with my best friend ,life was so so good
Nov 8 2021 On this day 50 years ago, Led Zeppelin released their fourth album, untitled but referred to as Led Zeppelin 4. Regarded and hailed as their masterpiece, the album became a staple to rock music, music in the 1970s and of the 20th century. Ranging from energized hard rock (Black Dog, Rock and Roll), compelling blues rock (When The Levee Breaks), epic folk (The Battle of Evermore), and featuring their anthemic ballad signature song, Stairway To Heaven, the album solidified the band as THE band of 1970s rock, and has influenced and inspired countless bands and artists. A true gem that belongs in any music enthusiast’s collection
Absolutely fabulous,,,,every single song on every one of this God given bands albums with Robert Plant's miracle voice and the miracle band, just perfect. We were all in a great time being free, paying only $8 for tickets at stadiums, then we'd go stand in line forever but didn't mind it, for tickets that went up to $10. Wow I would love to go back for real, to see them at Heinz Stadium, Pittsburgh. Saw them many times at 3 rivers stadium and Phoenix living there. The 70s, what a great decade. We were all having a great time, just like y'all. We were crazy, literally and so much fun. Wow hahahaha Thank you guys for making us feel joy. Right on... Peace
What continues to amaze me is that they made it when they were young, early twenties at most, I bought it at 14 and it still connects at 64. Don't say rock 'n' roll ain't art!!
I was 18 when this album came out and still love it. I'm 68 now and still love Led Zeppelin. Our generation still had great music .... Thanks for sharing.
im 64 now but whennever i heard the music of led zep it flashes back the memories of my teenhood those happy days with my friend enjoying the amazing music of this legendary band
damn I play this for my Dad and he acts like he doesnt know it, hes 79. hes all eaten up with the beatles and elvis. doesnt seem to know pink floyd/zeppelin
It's just one of those amazing albums that you just remember when and where you first heard it and being blown away! For me, I was 16 or 17 in the 90's and round my best mates house. As soon as I walked in he was like "I've just listened to this Led Zeppelin album of my Dad's and you've got to hear it - especially 'Stairway to Heaven'!".. I looked at the sleeve and was like "Really??", but sat there in awe as he played it and we listened to the whole album, there and then. Wow, just wow! Just goes to show that you must never judge an album by its cover!
To have seen them live, Mobile "73, was a life changing experience. Page was a whirling dervish, his notes hit you from all sides. This show marked the genesis of my concert years. I was privileged be a part of the greatest period of classic rock and roll. I saw many of the great acts and this show stood out, for the otherworldly guitar playing and a voice that floated around the arena, every note, crystalline.
And my god what a beautiful voice she has. They don’t allow those voices any more on major record labels. They exist, but the powers that he cannot stand the thought of something of beauty actually being successful.
Another favorite Led Zeppelin album. Still have it on the original vinyl I bought from Crazy Eddie's in Old Bridge NJ! Still listening! Zeppelin forever!
Respect to those that were around when this was released! I'm only 30 but Led Zeppelin is most definitely my favorite band! You'll be glad to know I drive around for work while blasting this album as loud as my speakers can handle it!
First time I heard this lp was when it came out! Listened to it with headphones, stoned to the bone! Completely blew me away! I remember it like it was yesterday! As I write this I have my ear buds listening to the best rock and roll band ever@ i seen them in 1975! General admission, crazy ass concert @
I just gave this vinyl album to my 14 year old boy for Christmas. I love all Led Zeppelin but this album takes me back to my childhood and simpler times........plus it just plain rocks, and holds its own even today.
This album always takes me back to where I first heard it and it became part of my regular listening. I was 12, winter '73, Southern Oregon. It was always cold, wet and foggy. This album made it a mystical time instead of just shitty weather.

I say 1967 was the best year for albums: Sgt Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love The Doors and Strange Days Surrealistic Pillow and After Bathing at Baxters Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request Days of Future Passed The Velvet Underground and Nico The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Disraeli Gears John Wesley Harding Younger Than Yesterday The Grateful Dead
This album played in my High School cafeteria everyday when it first came out. I started hs in 1971 and graduated in 1975. My sister played them back when they first came out in late sixties, as she was five years older than me and was hanging out with all the hippies that hung out at Greynolds Park in N. Miami. She saw all these bands at the Image in Miami. My first concert was the Doobie Brothers in the early seventies. It was my, my boyfriend Michael, his sister Debbie and my sister Janice with her boyfriend Danny. Those were the good oledays. My favorite concert was Boston in 1976. They were really good.
Bruce where are you? I seemed to lost you,. Oh. God, I'm tight!! All this foreign writing what's up with that man!!! We don't do that s**t here in the big apple new f****inyork
This was the first album I ever bought in 1972 when I was 13 years old at the base exchange in Misawa Japan. I still have it. Probably the greatest album ever made in my opinion.
I have the same. I listen to one and say - yes definietelly: this one is the best. Then comes the next one... Even the ones on Coda which I did not like originally are pearls when one listen to them again.
Me and my drummer loved Zeppelin so we learned every song they released ! I even picked up the mandolin ! He took his life I have missed him what feels like an eternity !
This music brings tears to my eyes. I have been away from Rock and Roll for a few years now, but time I got back. I listened to the battle of evermore and it made me cry. How many late evenings / early mornings I rode my Two stroke motorcycle home listening to it as I rode through the misty mountains from the deep valley to go home. Listening on my Walkman. I used to own almost all of their albums on cassette. And call me old but I do prefer analog over digital. I still own a good tape deck and turntable along with two Walkman. One that records and one with Mega Bass. Now time to search for analog music. How many mornings I lay in bed on my mountain top waiting for the eastern glow. How I used to boom my boom box to echo down the valley. All 36 watts. Lol Now with my old Cadillac ( yep just like the commercial, “🎼 Been a long time since I Rock and Rolled!” ) Which came with more speakers then I can count ( stock.) and a lot more then 36 watts. Time to let the music echo down the valleys again. It is time. I live in the misty mountains of the eastern glow yet work where the sun sets. Every other week I am heading to California with a aching in my mind. Searching for a woman who has never been born. I hope my adventure called life doesn’t end anytime too soon.
In Rock and Roll, there are two categories. In one category is every band ever. In the other category, there is Led Zeppelin. There must be at least a dozen ways to prove this fact, but the undeniable truth is, Led Zeppelin is comprised of four men who each by himself could have started a mega-band of his own. What distinguishes Jimmy Page, is that he did exactly that, but found three other men who are, like himself, eternally gods of their craft, and thus we have the greatest Rock and Roll band of all time, with no close second place. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Led Zeppelin.
@@davidfreeme7989 nowadays yes, but no close 2nd ?, now music = shit but back then ?, have a rethink, they were great without a doubt but they were not the only show in town, certain other english bands existed , one or two from the london area .
Led Zeppelin is and will be THE best band of all time. However, if you're looking for a close second, check out anything with Chris Cornell - Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave and his solo career. Master wordsmith with a beautiful 4 octave voice! The one and only Temple of the Dog album is the closest thing to real music that could have hints of talent like Zep. RIP Bonham and Cornell.
@@aimees7728 Why does everybody think, "their" band is the fucking best band EVER ! This is so lame... I got 5-10 bands on my hand, that are really GOOD... And that is good enough for me, sorry...

Reading an interesting piece in the Telegraph about the guy in the album cover photo. A local historian looking through a selection of 19th century photographs has identified the thatcher as Lot Long, a 69 year old widower who lived in the village of Mere. Little did he know he would later become immortalised on the cover of Led Zeppelin IV!
Just the fact that bands of this era put out albums with 12 or 14 tracks is amazing when you look at today's music. And then to know, they are all great songs, Zep rocks!
Feel the same brother. I'm 66, first saw Zep at the Swing auditorium in San Bernardino, Ca in 1969...opening act was Jethro Tull. I was 14, and had no idea how good I had it. ZOSO.
While dining at Cracker Barrel, I stopped by the gift shop and COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! A full Led Zeppelin IV album! I BOUGHT IT! I'm 67. The last time I bought this album - I was 18 and a freshman in college. UNREAL!
I have purchased this album 7 times.we wore out the cassettes,the albums or they got stolen or misplaced and I would go and get another ,from the 70s to now,only now I have it in digital form.what an album.🤘🏻
So get it: got 2 vinyl albums (kept 1st badly SCRATCHED one since well who could throw that out!!). 2 tapes as 1 broke from overplay. 1 CD. And a Page in the pear tree 🎵
Battle of Evermore or Achilles Last Stand, or Rust in Peace the whole album by the original lead guitarist of Metallica is loaded with them too....not enough respect or awareness of RUST IN PEACE, wow, best album ever regardless of genre.
I used to wake at 3 am or so every night when I was 6 or 7 (76/77). There was ALWAYS one of the classic Zep repetitive songs like Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog or Trampled Under Foot playing and the soft yellow glow of my brothers fm receiver. He fell asleep with it on every night and it drove Zep into my brain. Thank you, Michael. That’s what big brothers are for.
Damn. At the time of this writing it's the end of 2021. Some fifty years after this album was released, it still holds up against anything released in the last 20 years,
l found Zeppelin when I was 12, in my older cousins records, and feel in love with the band, I had no idea so many people love them as much as I do, Best Rock Band Ever.
We died to listen to you albums in high school now I just listen to them because they are great like we always thought but have the help of good memories to go with each song. Someone said, “ watch it we have a rocker here!”
Yeah! In the good ol' times, bands needed to have good musicians if they wanted to be successful. They had to master their instruments, they had to write good songs with inspired lyrics, the frontman had to have charisma and the ability to communicate with the audience (in addition to being able to sing, actually...) No wonder Zeppelin still gets new fans, in addition to the old fanbase.
Once, as a teenager, I played this inmybedroom, for the500th time. Then I heared interferences from downstairs. I paused my CD. Heard the same albumlouder downstairs. My father was playing it on vinyl ! What a moment. Chills as I think about it.
@@olewetdog6254 when my dad was stationed in Hawaii, I got to meet Elvis twice during the sets of girls, girls, girls and blue Hawaii. I’m just an old woman that happened to be at the right place at the right time. I got to meet Robert Plant also and he was a very nice guy did not try to be creepy or anything with me.
It takes me back to when I first bought the album and popped it on the turntable. It's like I'm listening to the album with 19 year old ears again. I've always loved this album thanks for helping me remember why.
45 ans que je n'avais pas réécouté cet album et que c'est bon ! Chaque titre est resté gravé dans ma mémoire et me replonge illico dans mes années lycée à Chelles avec les copains. Je repense à Corinne tout particulièrement, une vraie baba cool avec ses tenues hippies et son solex ! Si tu te reconnais......
Bought vinyl album when it came out, still have it in great condition. Listening to it here the audio quality is horrible. Once you've enjoyed on vinyl you won't go back! GREAT album!!!
Can't believe this is 50 years old now probably my favourite zeppelin record since it's the first one I listened to I actually met my first girlfriend becuase I sent her black dog when she was asking for song suggestions on her Insta story shame we didn't last but Jimmy and the lads have stuck with me
Hola amigos gracias antes que todo por tener estás colecciones y poder disfrutarlas son clásicas muy buenas se las recomiendo yo los ohigo desde 1970 y los sigo oyendo gracias a. Dios gracias.👋🤓🇲🇽
I love Led Zeppelin my older sister won’t even listen to Zeppelin anymore she says she heard enough when I was a kid in her defense Zeppelin was the only band I listen to for probably five years straight nothing else even came close to comparing now days I listen to many different bands but still love Zeppelin

1968 to 1974 were the best. Had nothing to do with me being 12 to 18 of course.😉 Just an incredibly liberated and hence creative time.

First 7 albums are fantastic. Been a fan since 1970 at 6 years old.
It's just one of those amazing albums that you just remember when and where you first heard it and being blown away! For me, I was 16 or 17 in the 90's and round my best mates house. As soon as I walked in he was like "I've just listened to this Led Zeppelin album of my Dad's and you've got to hear it - especially 'Stairway to Heaven'!".. I looked at the sleeve and was like "Really??", but sat there in awe as he played it and we listened to the whole album, there and then. Wow, just wow! Just goes to show that you must never judge an album by its cover!
Unless you're a judge for the album cover of the year award
To have seen them live, Mobile "73, was a life changing experience. Page was a whirling dervish, his notes hit you from all sides. This show marked the genesis of my concert years. I was privileged be a part of the greatest period of classic rock and roll. I saw many of the great acts and this show stood out, for the otherworldly guitar playing and a voice that floated around the arena, every note, crystalline.
Timeless masterpiece by the best rock band ever👌
Sandy Denny's haunting vocal on The Battle of Evermore is heartbreakingly beautiful. A magical companion to Robert Plant's voice.
Thank you for that info. I always wondered who she was.
And my god what a beautiful voice she has. They don’t allow those voices any more on major record labels. They exist, but the powers that he cannot stand the thought of something of beauty actually being successful.
I didn't know that, will listen again, much respect to Sandy.
My favorite song...
Is she the only one they ever had a collaboration with? Certainly worthy.
Another favorite Led Zeppelin album. Still have it on the original vinyl I bought from Crazy Eddie's in Old Bridge NJ! Still listening! Zeppelin forever!
Crazy Eddie's. Lol. His prices are INSANE!
I lost count of how many times I listened to this album!
Respect to those that were around when this was released! I'm only 30 but Led Zeppelin is most definitely my favorite band! You'll be glad to know I drive around for work while blasting this album as loud as my speakers can handle it!
30 and same!
Im 70 and feel 30😊
First time I heard this lp was when it came out! Listened to it with headphones, stoned to the bone! Completely blew me away! I remember it like it was yesterday! As I write this I have my ear buds listening to the best rock and roll band ever@ i seen them in 1975! General admission, crazy ass concert @
Happy anniversary to them and all us 70's kids! : )

I just gave this vinyl album to my 14 year old boy for Christmas. I love all Led Zeppelin but this album takes me back to my childhood and simpler times........plus it just plain rocks, and holds its own even today.
does he like it?
1971 is a magic year.
11/8/2021 celebrates fifty years of launch of this classic.
A Rock Masterpiece...!!
Greatest rock album in History 💎💎💎💎💎every song is iconic . Nothing else close
This term is thrown around a lot but it's true for led zeppelin IV
Fsnatch
Please be polite to others who don’t agree with you by always inserting, “in my opinion.”
This album always takes me back to where I first heard it and it became part of my regular listening. I was 12, winter '73, Southern Oregon. It was always cold, wet and foggy. This album made it a mystical time instead of just shitty weather.
AMZG BROTHER
A full album of this magnitude, with no adds, is a blessing straight from God. Thanks, Dale!

From a time when it was still normal to make good music.
old head
if you think good music doesn't exist now then you're in denial
Growing up in Tennessee, I stumbled upon this album and knew nothing about rock but I loved every song on this one!
And then you bought Lynyrd Skynrds 1st album PRONOUNCED. Awesome ain't it?
This album played in my High School cafeteria everyday when it first came out. I started hs in 1971 and graduated in 1975. My sister played them back when they first came out in late sixties, as she was five years older than me and was hanging out with all the hippies that hung out at Greynolds Park in N. Miami. She saw all these bands at the Image in Miami. My first concert was the Doobie Brothers in the early seventies. It was my, my boyfriend Michael, his sister Debbie and my sister Janice with her boyfriend Danny. Those were the good oledays. My favorite concert was Boston in 1976. They were really good.
Cafeteria? Very cool!!
@@lizroberts6257 Bathroom catholic HS for me lol stoned out of my mind.
I graduated the same year! My first concert was the J Geils Band at Cobo Hall Detroit!!
Bruce where are you? I seemed to lost you,. Oh. God, I'm tight!! All this foreign writing what's up with that man!!! We don't do that s**t here in the big apple new f****inyork

You are not wrong.Never liked the cover.

@@Jlipnicki the cover goes hard
lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven

i truly have lived through the best time in music.
50 years and counting, Happy 50 years of Led Zeppelin IV, the album of an entire generation, November 8th, 1971-November 8th, 2021 🔥🔥🤟🤟
I was 9 years old when this was released. I am 9 months away from 60 and I still love this album.
This was the first album I ever bought in 1972 when I was 13 years old at the base exchange in Misawa Japan. I still have it. Probably the greatest album ever made in my opinion.
I agree. Lucky boy
You
Best ever. And i like the anvalub cover. Classic.
This is LED Zeppelin's master piece the LP that put them over the top it's pure magic in every song never gets old
This record will keep on & on & on
1000. Years later........ compulsory
.......lol.......ageless....
Guns n roses are better

@@dreaminez472 i was trolling, nobody took the bait
When The Levee Breaks is one of my favorite Zongs. Although I could say the same about 20 or 30 others too.
I have the same. I listen to one and say - yes definietelly: this one is the best. Then comes the next one... Even the ones on Coda which I did not like originally are pearls when one listen to them again.
Bonhams best drumming.................
Me and my drummer loved Zeppelin so we learned every song they released ! I even picked up the mandolin ! He took his life I have missed him what feels like an eternity !
I’m sorry to hear that.
May your friend RIP 🙏😔
@@adrianbeaumont6745 thank you he was a hell of a drummer
@@adrianbeaumont6745 is this you ?
This music brings tears to my eyes. I have been away from Rock and Roll for a few years now, but time I got back.
I listened to the battle of evermore and it made me cry.
How many late evenings / early mornings I rode my Two stroke motorcycle home listening to it as I rode through the misty mountains from the deep valley to go home.
Listening on my Walkman.
I used to own almost all of their albums on cassette.
And call me old but I do prefer analog over digital.
I still own a good tape deck and turntable along with two Walkman. One that records and one with Mega Bass.
Now time to search for analog music.
How many mornings I lay in bed on my mountain top waiting for the eastern glow.
How I used to boom my boom box to echo down the valley. All 36 watts. Lol
Now with my old Cadillac ( yep just like the commercial, “🎼 Been a long time since I Rock and Rolled!” )
Which came with more speakers then I can count ( stock.) and a lot more then 36 watts.
Time to let the music echo down the valleys again.
It is time. I live in the misty mountains of the eastern glow yet work where the sun sets.
Every other week I am heading to California with a aching in my mind.
Searching for a woman who has never been born.
I hope my adventure called life doesn’t end anytime too soon.
So glad I got to see Zeppelin in concert while they were still in their prime (May, 1973). The mighty Zep could cast a spell like no other band.
76 MSG
I saw em Atlanta 73
Lucky
Lucky bastard ! I only got to see Plant .
Caramba que emocionante
So pleasurable to listen to again after years. The tracks flow so beautifully and make more a complete work of beautiful art
The lyrics to Battle of Evermore are just the best.
Turned my cousin on to this album when it came out. 20 years later she finally realized how good it really is.
I am 50 right now. My older brother bought this album and I grown up with this music. I never understood why other music wasn’t like this.
I was 18 when this album came out and still love it. I'm 68 now and still love Led Zeppelin.Disco inigualável, sensacional!
one of the best albums of all time forever...
Talent is timeless. 100 years from now kids will be discovering this and saying "how cool is this stuff"............
The best album title ever.
No, that would be either Joe Walsh’s “You bought it you name it” or “The player you drink the smoker you get”.
The drop in stairway gives me full body chills to this day
Right now
I don't understand what you mean by "the drop".
In Rock and Roll, there are two categories. In one category is every band ever. In the other category, there is Led Zeppelin. There must be at least a dozen ways to prove this fact, but the undeniable truth is, Led Zeppelin is comprised of four men who each by himself could have started a mega-band of his own. What distinguishes Jimmy Page, is that he did exactly that, but found three other men who are, like himself, eternally gods of their craft, and thus we have the greatest Rock and Roll band of all time, with no close second place.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Led Zeppelin.
So very true they were still are the gods of rock no other really comes close
@@davidfreeme7989 nowadays yes, but no close 2nd ?, now music = shit but back then ?, have a rethink, they were great without a doubt but they were not the only show in town, certain other english bands existed , one or two from the london area .
The Beatles are superior, but that's my opinion. Led Zeppelin is fantastic as well.
Led Zeppelin is and will be THE best band of all time. However, if you're looking for a close second, check out anything with Chris Cornell - Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave and his solo career. Master wordsmith with a beautiful 4 octave voice! The one and only Temple of the Dog album is the closest thing to real music that could have hints of talent like Zep. RIP Bonham and Cornell.
@@aimees7728 Why does everybody think, "their" band is the fucking best band EVER !
This is so lame...
I got 5-10 bands on my hand, that are really GOOD...
And that is good enough for me, sorry...
Literally my favourite album of all time.

Thanx
Thank tou, good soul
The Battle of Evermore ... for me.. the best
Reading an interesting piece in the Telegraph about the guy in the album cover photo. A local historian looking through a selection of 19th century photographs has identified the thatcher as Lot Long, a 69 year old widower who lived in the village of Mere. Little did he know he would later become immortalised on the cover of Led Zeppelin IV!
Just the fact that bands of this era put out albums with 12 or 14 tracks is amazing when you look at today's music. And then to know, they are all great songs, Zep rocks!
This album is my age , today is my birthday...so here i am again ,Whole Lotta Love LZ..
Feel the same brother. I'm 66, first saw Zep at the Swing auditorium in San Bernardino, Ca in 1969...opening act was Jethro Tull. I was 14, and had no idea how good I had it. ZOSO.
While dining at Cracker Barrel, I stopped by the gift shop and COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES! A full Led Zeppelin IV album! I BOUGHT IT! I'm 67. The last time I bought this album - I was 18 and a freshman in college. UNREAL!
Kool play it over and over again. 🤘🤘
Absolute all time classic👍👣🚴🏽🏴
On my way to Cracker Barrel.
Led Zep with hash browns!
Side of bacon and can I have more coffee please?
I have purchased this album 7 times.we wore out the cassettes,the albums or they got stolen or misplaced and I would go and get another ,from the 70s to now,only now I have it in digital form.what an album.🤘🏻
So get it: got 2 vinyl albums (kept 1st badly SCRATCHED one since well who could throw that out!!). 2 tapes as 1 broke from overplay. 1 CD. And a Page in the pear tree 🎵
Led Zeppelin IV home to the greatest rock song of all time. Stairway To Heaven 🤘🤘.
Battle of Evermore or Achilles Last Stand, or Rust in Peace the whole album by the original lead guitarist of Metallica is loaded with them too....not enough respect or awareness of RUST IN PEACE, wow, best album ever regardless of genre.
@@derekknight9789 Rust in Peace is the best metal album of all time, Led Zeppelin IV is the best Rock album of all time.
@@andymandy8862 And if you have not already known, both Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Led Zeppelin IV, are both bands 4th albums. Sssssiicckkk!
Bruce, I will log on at noon ok😼
I used to wake at 3 am or so every night when I was 6 or 7 (76/77). There was ALWAYS one of the classic Zep repetitive songs like Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog or Trampled Under Foot playing and the soft yellow glow of my brothers fm receiver. He fell asleep with it on every night and it drove Zep into my brain. Thank you, Michael. That’s what big brothers are for.
Kkkkkkk
Great story. Only someone born Round the 70s could understand. I did the same thing.
@@bradkriebel9774 were u the little brother or big brother?

Listened to this in 1973 while building a log cabin and made the valley echo!
Badass!
Damn. At the time of this writing it's the end of 2021. Some fifty years after this album was released, it still holds up against anything released in the last 20 years,
That is exactly why the musicians of Led Zeppelin is called ROCK GODS!🤘😄👍
l found Zeppelin when I was 12, in my older cousins records, and feel in love with the band, I had no idea so many people love them as much as I do, Best Rock Band Ever.
Love 💕 This Amazing Album n Band!! Never gets old!! Been listening to them from mid 70's !!
One of the best records ever. You could say everything here is excellent or fine. It's a mythical cd that made Led Zeppelin a musical legend. 🎵🎶💎👍❤️
We died to listen to you albums in high school now I just listen to them because they are great like we always thought but have the help of good memories to go with each song. Someone said, “ watch it we have a rocker here!”
I am 125 years old, and I still listen to this album like I did in the 1970s when I was in my 80s. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

50 years old, and still sounds way better than today's music.
That's a huge understatement!!!
It will, one hundred years from now.
Very very, very true couldn't stress it enough
Yeah! In the good ol' times, bands needed to have good musicians if they wanted to be successful. They had to master their instruments, they had to write good songs with inspired lyrics, the frontman had to have charisma and the ability to communicate with the audience (in addition to being able to sing, actually...)
No wonder Zeppelin still gets new fans, in addition to the old fanbase.
No doubt about that.
Once, as a teenager, I played this inmybedroom, for the500th time. Then I heared interferences from downstairs. I paused my CD. Heard the same albumlouder downstairs. My father was playing it on vinyl ! What a moment. Chills as I think about it.
Beautiful moment indeed!!! Your father must be proud of your musical taste. Congratulations!

Chido Alex!, es bueno saber eso. 8 de noviembre del 71 👻
I can honestly say I saw them on tour for this album. The sound of my generation.
Jammy b*****d! I'd of done anything to see them. Especially in there hay day.
Congrats mate 🎉
My parents took me to see Elvis when I was 5 or 6 or so. I'd trade that for Zeppelin any day!
@@olewetdog6254 when my dad was stationed in Hawaii, I got to meet Elvis twice during the sets of girls, girls, girls and blue Hawaii. I’m just an old woman that happened to be at the right place at the right time. I got to meet Robert Plant also and he was a very nice guy did not try to be creepy or anything with me.
Strepitoso album dei led riascoltarlo a distanza di 50 anni si capisce di quanto era avanti musicalmente, eterni. Grandi,
Call me an amateur but I didn't know half the names but I knew all the songs. Turns out I've been listening to Led Zeppelin my whole life 😁 so awesome
It takes me back to when I first bought the album and popped it on the turntable. It's like I'm listening to the album with 19 year old ears again. I've always loved this album thanks for helping me remember why.
Craig u r so right, I couldn't have said it better. Rock on friend
45 ans que je n'avais pas réécouté cet album et que c'est bon ! Chaque titre est resté gravé dans ma mémoire et me replonge illico dans mes années lycée à Chelles avec les copains. Je repense à Corinne tout particulièrement, une vraie baba cool avec ses tenues hippies et son solex ! Si tu te reconnais......
Yeah baby long live Zeppelin from the talented vocals of Robert Plant to the Great John Paul Jones one of the best of all time by far
For as long as music exists, this album will be the benchmark for rock music,masterpiece ☘
Listened to this album for the first time today, 50 years after it's original release. Good stuff! =)
Bought vinyl album when it came out, still have it in great condition. Listening to it here the audio quality is horrible. Once you've enjoyed on vinyl you won't go back! GREAT album!!!
