Yep. This was just one of many totally epic bands of all time all making music at the same time. The 70's was totally out of this world. I am blessed to have grown up with such an amazing music scene.
They did do Ramble On a while back, but Jay didn’t really get the more mellow sounds in it. I think he has grown now and may enjoy it more if he listened to it again.
"Trippy"" is a good word to describe it. The "trippiness" was achieved mostly through a recording technique known as "phase shifting," which was a whole new thing when this album was released.
Not tryna be all nerdy nsh*t but here's a couple of examples of analog phasing on the main electric guitar in Goodnight Sweet Josephine theYardbirds 1967 with Jimmy Page of course ua-cam.com/video/euQ3fCgroYk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared and Itchycoo Park by the small faces 1967 analog phasing mainly evident on the drum track but also on the semi acapella vocal section of the pre-chorus And then all over the outro of the song ua-cam.com/video/GDgqIyprGLM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
This is led zeppelin doing straight fire JAZZ. It just SOUNDS rock because they're doing it on their instruments in THEIR style. Otherwise this is straight up blues hall house blues. This is that golden shit jazz guys would do in 14 hour shifts during the jazz era. Led zeppelin are MASTERS of honouring what came before and making it theirs. Pure fucking diamonds. Musical geniuses.
I bought this album in 1969 when I was 13. I couldn't wait to get it home, put it on the turntable, turn on my colored lights, smoke a....um...I mean...it was (and still is) one of my favorite albums!
Have you seen the John Paul Jones/Playing for Change video? He’s on bass, of course, and artists from around the world play and sing, including Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. It’s fantastic.
Notice how when you're listening to a Led Zeppelin song, you never want to hear it end? And when you start hearing that 'fade out', you're like NOOOOOOOOO! LOL.
No Quarter, Heartbreaker, When the Levee Breaks - so many great songs. It’s hard to rank Zeppelin, Yes, The Who, and Pink Floyd among my top four bands. Also love classic soul and R & B. I’m 64.
The LP for this album was a single record that came in a double-fold jacket. The inside picture was a shining gold Zeppelin. We used to use the jacket to clean our weed. Our bong was an ever-raging furnace in the late 70's 😉My buddy had a quadrophonic 8-track system in his green Ford Pinto. With the Quadrophonic, "Whole Lotta Love" would move in a circle around you with the four speakers. Blew my teenage mind, LOL....
Lol - back when weed had seeds in it. How many double albums were embedded with shake. Before I left home for college in 1977, I hadn’t even never seen any weed - I was a good girl with VERY strict parents. Hating the taste of alcohol, but wanting a little buzz, I finally gave in to my boyfriend’s urging me to try it. What a revelation, especially listening to music. I had an 8-track player/recorder the I could put 90 minutes on continuous play. Tales of Topographic Oceans by Yes was great for that. Dark Side of the Moon and Yessongs were great for continuous play. Good times. My car was a Plymouth Horizon. Looked great, but the engine and chassis were crap.
You can't believe how much joy that it brings me to see someone that comes from 2 generations younger than me, enjoying and getting into music that I grew up with !!! Fantastic !!!
Led Zeppelin broke the world record for the Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert when 20 million requests came through for the one-time reunion show in December 2007. Led Zeppelin's (UK) one-off reunion show at London's O2 Arena on 10 December 2007 attracted more than 20 million ticket requests. The face value of tickets for the concert was about $250, but some paid as much as $2,000. One fan, Kenneth Donnell, paid even more than that: $168,000. Donnell, from Glasgow, Scotland, shelled out the big bucks for a good cause: He won two tickets in a charity auction.
"Traveling Riverside Blues" Blues, blues and more blues. Right from the get go and never takes its foot of the pedal. That would be a great Zeppelin song to do next.
Thats one of those Zeppelin greats that I forgot about lol. Its been a looooong time since I heard that one. I said the same thing when I heard Bring It On Home and How Many More Times lol.
One of the most fun songs ever to play on guitar. Nice mellow bits, and then you get to beat the crap out of your instrument, and then back to the mellow bits. You have to be out of control and under control at the same time.
It amazes me that this is technically a song from the 1960s (1969). There was certainly a pretty radical change in music from 1960 to the very end of the decade. Led Zeppelin is awesome!
Guys, I had a ticket to go see Van Halen in 1981 when I was in high school. The ticket cost $10 face value. $10 in 1981 is equivalent to $35 in 2024. Now what major artists today can you see in concert for $35 ??? Sadly in 2024, we are getting price gouged big time. They say it’s not the artists that set the price; rather they say it’s the ticket brokers. If that’s true, then how come Garth Brooks was able to set his ticket prices at $25 per ticket for a show in KC just a few years ago??? Garth said he did it as a thank you to his fans and so more people could afford it.
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13 In 1986 I had graduated from high school and had just moved to a new city and started a new job, well AC/DC came to town and I couldn't afford the $13 to go to the concert because I hadn't got my first paycheck yet. It was even a smaller venue (around 10,000 capacity). Still chaps my hide today.
Almost 50 years old and our saying is listen to at least one Zep tune a day you will feel better, there haven’t been too many days I didn’t listen and I never tire of them.
This album as much as any, signaled at the end of the '60s that we were entering a whole new era of rock 'n roll music. Still steeped in the blues, but with a whole new sound. It also put a bow on the 1960s, leaving us with a legacy of music that spanned from the doo wop of 1960 to Motown and the Beatles to Led Zeppelin at the end of the decade. And as far as I can tell, no decade since has even come close to equaling the timeless appeal of '60s music, especially from '64 on when the British Invasion began.
My hubby had tickets to see Led Zeppelin in 1980 and then they announced that Jon Bonham died so he turned in his tickets for the money he said he wishes he still had them they would be worth a lot to a collector now
Yeah, I saw them 3 times, twice with the Indian Orchestra in 96/97 and then as just a killer 5 piece that stayed closer to the Led Zeppelin originals and Page was the best I ever heard him live. Stellar shows but the last one was as close to Zeppelin I ever saw.
@@vicprovost2561 I saw Zeppelin twice. Once in 75 and the other in 77 and I actually thought the Page/Plant shows technically were better probably because the technology was so much more advanced by then. Michael Lee was an awesome drummer RIP.
I noticed when you stopped there was a show billing poster on screen. “Led Zeppelin with The James Gang”. I saw a story where back in the day Led Zeppelin saw the James Gang somewhere in Europe and liked Joe Walsh so much that they asked The James Gang to go on tour with them as the opening band. I’ve heard Joe Walsh talking about his Led Zeppelin ties and respect for them. 👍
They should react to the great James Gang Live, Joe Walsh putting on a tour de force on electric and acoustic guitar and a go the organ for a great changeup. The electric guitar solos are freaking amazing, to see them open for Zeppelin is beyond belief, you won the musical lottery that night!

The 'no quarter - unplugged' version was well, here are hear the tracks - what is never should be, when the levee breaks, the rain song, (maybe Kashmir because it has a jam at end), thank you, four sticks, battle of evermore and it's with I think Egyptian orchestra live. Michael Lee rip man. Reminds me much of Mitch Mitchell.
This LZ song is in my top favorites. I can still remember and picture us sitting in front of our humongous speakers in the living room listening to this specific song and feeling that sultry, bluesy bass, the special vocal effects and then be taken aback by the alternating speakers during the last guitar riff. What a fun song and album that was to explore! It was a wonderful time to be young, but it still sounds just as cool and fun now.
This song is actually a perfect example of the concept Jimmy Page had for the band before he formed it, a concept he called “light and shade”: it goes back and forth between verses that are more down (light) and a slamming chorus (shade). As for the solo, Jimmy’s playing slide guitar for it-to my ear it sounds like he coulda been using a glass slide but I have no idea. This is also the first Led Zeppelin album wherein Jimmy Page played a 1959 sunburst Les Paul guitar. If I remember correctly, since y’all mentioned The James Gang, that same guitar was given to him by Joe Walsh!
One of Zepp's best. Hands down. So many switch-ups. And that outro ? Outta-sight . LZ II is a great album. This one and Houses Of The Holy have become my favorite Zepp albums. But every album of their's is good.
So I Don't usually get into the audio engineering aspects of songs since I am a mere percussionist and not an audio engineer.. but when I first heard this album, 3yrs after its release, I listened to it with my stereo headphones and was blown away by the technical aspects of this album! It was to me the "We are going to teach you, not only can sound surround you, but it can play with you as well and be part of the music " ... other bands have since done similar, but as far as I know, Zeppelin was the first!. .. Absolutely love this song, but as a Drummer, Black Dog is My favorite!! Lol!
This is definitely one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. I used to play that second album over and over again, it's just so damn good all the way through. And the track sequencing is really good too.
When it comes to ZEPPELIN you owe it to yourself to start with 1 & just keep on going, every song is different. Every Album is different, each one is better than the last. "Physical Graffiti" is 1976! ZEPP 4 is 1973, its like night & Day.
One of their best right here. I had all eight albums, and loved nearly all of their songs. This should be fun watching you two hear this. We really need to get the two to try "Thank You."
Concert tickets used to be much cheaper (unless you had to go to a scalper, but even then....nothing like now). I'm not sure what happened. Yes, Led Zeppelin is not wedded to any one sound, although their songs are easy to ID, probably because Robert Plant's vocals are so distinctive. Hearing these songs again takes me back to my much younger days. Big nostalgia to the gut!
Led Zeppelin only charged 75p for their Wembley Empire Pool concerts in 1971. Adjusted for inflation that's still only £11. You can barely even get a cinema ticket for that price these days.
Were I to guess I think it's due in part to the fact that musical acts don't make much money from CDs or from their song rights these days. So they have to make up for it with concert ticket prices.
This is the music I grew up on, but I never in my life would’ve made a connection to this which was off the second album in 1969 to anything from Pink Floyd.
They liked to experiment with different styles of music. I mean I saw a video of Robert taking in some native instruments ... south america I think. Hence they liked to play around. Works for us:)
Led Zeppelin was my youth music and they had such a great sound and so many hits. This particular song was my favorite because of it took you from blues to rock and back again several times. We were spoiled growing up with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Janis Joplin. If you want another angle of Led Zeppelin, listen to Boogie With Stu
You sgould check out 'Battle of Evermore". Robert in a duet with Sandy Denny. John Paul on the mandolin. Dripping with Lord of the Rings imagery. It's a very different Zeppelin tune, but an awesome one nonetheless.
The thing about back in our day is that we would sit down and listen to the hole album and be mesmerized. This song is amazing but to get the full affect you have to listen yt the hole lp
I was at the concert in Framingham Massachusetts where LED first performed this song live at the Carousel Tent in the summer of ‘69. Only about 2500 there, great concert.
Zeppelin reunited in 2007. Ticket prices were $250 to thousands of dollars. One fan paid $168,000 to see them. 20 million people tried to buy 9000 tickets. I believe it’s a Guinness world record holder.
Imagine growing up with this kind of music your entire youth. Our generation had it.
Yep. This was just one of many totally epic bands of all time all making music at the same time.
The 70's was totally out of this world.
I am blessed to have grown up with such an amazing music scene.
We sure did! I'm 64...loved them since I was 10!
I'd have to agree and proudly say, "Hell Yes!!!!!!" 🫵👊🏼💪🏼👍🏻
🤘😝🤟
I played my mom‘s Led Zeppelin records when I was a child, regularly.❤❤
One of the best bands EVER ❤❤
No matter what the question is the answer is always more Zeppelin 🤘
YAAAAASSS....and, not even a "hold my beer" anywhere in site!! :)
👊🏼👍🏻
Dam...that needs to be on a T shirt
so many answer with more cowbell. more Zeppelin is correct
Always good to get the Led out!

Led Zeppelin the GREATESS ROCK group of all times
At their reunion concert back in '07, they snuck a little of the ending guitar riff of this song into the end of Ramble On.

There's a ZEP for that. Should replace, "there's an APP for that." 😊❤
The swiss army knife of music
Top 5 Zeppelin song for me. I've been listening to them for over 50 years. When this was a new release.
Ramble On is another great Led song!!! So glad you all reviewed What is and What Should Never Be!!
They did do Ramble On a while back, but Jay didn’t really get the more mellow sounds in it. I think he has grown now and may enjoy it more if he listened to it again.
Another great bass line from JPJ. His bass line carries the groove, IMO anyway. Been listening since I was a 70's kid.
Banger
One of the BEST Led Zeppelin songs!! Like Jay said... "Trippy". 😎
"Trippy"" is a good word to describe it. The "trippiness" was achieved mostly through a recording technique known as "phase shifting," which was a whole new thing when this album was released.
Not tryna be all nerdy nsh*t but
here's a couple of examples of analog phasing
on the main electric guitar in Goodnight Sweet Josephine
theYardbirds 1967
with Jimmy Page of course
ua-cam.com/video/euQ3fCgroYk/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
and Itchycoo Park by the small faces 1967
analog phasing mainly evident on the drum track but also on the semi acapella vocal section of the pre-chorus
And then all over the outro of the song

I didn’t realize how lucky I was to be living through this era of music! It was the absolute BEST!
God!! Zep never disappoint!! Best of all time, listen to the rain song, the lemon song, the wanton song!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Better still, how about the epic live version of The Song Remains The Same/Rain Song from the TSRTS film?
No Quarter, Heartbreaker, When the Levee Breaks - so many great songs. It’s hard to rank Zeppelin, Yes, The Who, and Pink Floyd among my top four bands. Also love classic soul and R & B. I’m 64.
The Lemon Song and When The Levy Breaks are great tunes.
....they are one of rock's greatest legends for a reason...They deserve their place
Classic Zeppelin! One great bass line from John Paul Jones 👍 Jimmy Page on slide guitar 🎸
The LP for this album was a single record that came in a double-fold jacket. The inside picture was a shining gold Zeppelin. We used to use the jacket to clean our weed. Our bong was an ever-raging furnace in the late 70's 😉My buddy had a quadrophonic 8-track system in his green Ford Pinto. With the Quadrophonic, "Whole Lotta Love" would move in a circle around you with the four speakers. Blew my teenage mind, LOL....
Hey! That's me you're describing!
Edit; I had a Vega
Lol - back when weed had seeds in it. How many double albums were embedded with shake. Before I left home for college in 1977, I hadn’t even never seen any weed - I was a good girl with VERY strict parents. Hating the taste of alcohol, but wanting a little buzz, I finally gave in to my boyfriend’s urging me to try it. What a revelation, especially listening to music. I had an 8-track player/recorder the I could put 90 minutes on continuous play. Tales of Topographic Oceans by Yes was great for that. Dark Side of the Moon and Yessongs were great for continuous play. Good times.
My car was a Plymouth Horizon. Looked great, but the engine and chassis were crap.
Same, but we raced around in my brothers best friend’s car: a Purple 1971 Hemi Cuda! 😉
You can't believe how much joy that it brings me to see someone that comes from 2 generations younger than me, enjoying and getting into music that I grew up with !!! Fantastic !!!

Great effect.

I remember back in the day when Led Zeppelin came out that Robert Plants range was so vast,I thought it was two different singers
Oh yeah, this song is as good as any rock ever recorded.
No one had ever heard anything like Led Zeppelin when they first came out thank you! Y'all have a good day!
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But does anybody know I'm gonna move like hell… 😂 Love Plant’s freestyle flow.
I've been a Zeppelin fan since their first album came out and I am still a fan
One of their best right here. I had all eight albums, and loved nearly all of their songs. This should be fun watching you two hear this. We really need to get the two to try "Thank You."
We love zeppelin being versatile in their music
This song has always reminded me of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window!
Concert tickets used to be much cheaper (unless you had to go to a scalper, but even then....nothing like now). I'm not sure what happened. Yes, Led Zeppelin is not wedded to any one sound, although their songs are easy to ID, probably because Robert Plant's vocals are so distinctive. Hearing these songs again takes me back to my much younger days. Big nostalgia to the gut!
Led Zeppelin only charged 75p for their Wembley Empire Pool concerts in 1971. Adjusted for inflation that's still only £11. You can barely even get a cinema ticket for that price these days.
Were I to guess I think it's due in part to the fact that musical acts don't make much money from CDs or from their song rights these days. So they have to make up for it with concert ticket prices.
You two are great! It makes me happy watching you.
Great reaction! 😃 definitely my favorite song of Led Zeppelin II. Thank you! Peace! 🙏
This is the music I grew up on, but I never in my life would’ve made a connection to this which was off the second album in 1969 to anything from Pink Floyd.
Amber, i am in love with your KISS shirt❤❤❤❤ wonderful reaction Jay and Amber 🔥🔥🔥
This one is so blues inspired. Love Zep. Just amazing every time.
They liked to experiment with different styles of music. I mean I saw a video of Robert taking in some native instruments ... south america I think. Hence they liked to play around. Works for us:)
Led Zeppelin was my youth music and they had such a great sound and so many hits. This particular song was my favorite because of it took you from blues to rock and back again several times. We were spoiled growing up with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Janis Joplin.
If you want another angle of Led Zeppelin, listen to Boogie With Stu
This is ZEPPELIN !
One of Zep's most Under Rated Song! A True Classic!
You sgould check out 'Battle of Evermore". Robert in a duet with Sandy Denny. John Paul on the mandolin. Dripping with Lord of the Rings imagery. It's a very different Zeppelin tune, but an awesome one nonetheless.
Or Boogie with Stu
I like this one

The thing about back in our day is that we would sit down and listen to the hole album and be mesmerized. This song is amazing but to get the full affect you have to listen yt the hole lp
In my mind I know which song is next from LP
One of the most slept on Led Zep songs, if you ask me.
Totally agree!
another fire track of Zeppelin is Trampled Under Foot
Simply Put

GREATEST EVER ‼️‼️💯

I was at the concert in Framingham Massachusetts where LED first performed this song live at the Carousel Tent in the summer of ‘69. Only about 2500 there, great concert.
Wow. I know Framingham. What a show to have been at!!
In my humble opinion Zeppelins first two albums were their best
Zeppelin reunited in 2007. Ticket prices were $250 to thousands of dollars. One fan paid $168,000 to see them. 20 million people tried to buy 9000 tickets. I believe it’s a Guinness world record holder.
