FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YOU GOTTA SPELL ZEPPELIN CORRECTLY BRO!! LOL! Seriously though - So stoked you are discovering them and so many other great artists I grew up with!
lol I blame it on the wine
@@poloreacts27 Thats exactly like something Robert Plant would say.
@@kickstar1 since spell check has checked in....?
@@poloreacts27 you have 400 likes at 1000 views. I'd say UA-cam thinks a lot of your opinion on Led Zeppelin!
@kickstar1 omg, lil something spellchecker? This isn't the spot for that argument. Actually, I thought I left it in Jr high!
Everyone gets to this masterpiece eventually and loses their mind...Plant and Bonham had just turned 20.
Led Zeppelin man for man is the most talented group ever assembled.
I think it’s a tie with Pink Floyd. They are both amazing in different ways.
Hallelujah!
I think you can put Rush in that mix as well.
Side note...Bonham is the greatest rock drummer ever
@@RealPhilipLee After THE BEATLES
When you’re a Zeppelin fan you’re never alone in this world 🥰🎶 Loyal fan since 1969 🎸🔥🎤
Me too...since early 1970
Then Houses of the Holy, the best album they ever did. No skips, every single track a banger.
All good things come from 1969. I became a person that year. LZ I and II, Abbey Road, the moon landing...
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 I think it's my 3rd fav. It's great, and such a different sounding album from them at that time. Edit: Either II, I, V or I, II, V for me.
75 and still Rockin'
I doubt you will ever see a band like Led Zeppelin ever again.Enjoy!
My favorite Led Zeppelin song is usually the last one I listened to too.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Agreed!
Best rock band ever
Yeppers!
One of those perfectly constructed and delivered works of art that only Led Zeppelin could deliver.
Excellent! Thx Polo. ✌🏻
71 yr old here. Zep was my 1st concert. 69/70 in my sr yr.
wow, thats winning the lottery and then some. Im jelly
I was 16, first time i saw them, 18 second time.
When you were 18, could you imagine your 71 year old grandparents liking LZ?
If you have grandchildren, I hope they know how cool their grandpa(?) is!
Edit: p.s. While you were at the concert, I was just seeing a bright light... (b. 1969)
Such a lucky person!
Jimmy Page came up with just so many incredible riffs and guitar parts. Astounding.
The man who created Led Zeppelin.😊
ZEPPELIN 1 & 2 is the biggest one, two knockout punch in rock history!!!
This is Zeppelin at its very finest. ❤
I concur. I love when I see that Polo is reacting to a song that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. It makes me so excited to watch him hear it for the first time.
Robert Plant was 19 when this was recorded. Recently saw an old interview with Jimmy Page telling how he had Robert come to his house and had him listen to an old Joan Baez folk recording of this and sing it his way for him. Jimmy was blown away with what he heard and pretty much hired Robert on the spot.
One of the first leads that put his voice in the mix as a complicated, powerful, but vulnerable musical instrument❤
That reference to Joan Baez sounds familiar........ if the story is true, Page and Plant are the best thing that ever happened to this song. And that whole first Zeppelin album which I believe was panned by critics at the time........ the whole friggin album sounds like a live in the studio performance. Those was the days. Wow!!!
Actually Plant was 20, their first rehearsal was on August 19,1968, the next day Plant turned 20. This album was recorded late September early October, over 4 days & about 30-35 hours start to finish. However they were all so young, & only together as a band a very short time before recording this, their whole story is so interesting.
20
@@matthewmarana4573 yes & Bonham had turned 20 earlier in May, JPJ & Page are a little older, at this point JPJ is 22 & Page is 24. When the album is released in the USA on January 12,1969 Page was 25 January on 9th & JPJ 23 on January 3rd.
When this first came out….. about 60 years ago- it was so different and magical. Glad to see people discovering them today.
Debut album -- every song an absolute work of art. Changed rock forever. I'm old! I was there! And Plant was barely 20 years old when this album was released. True, pure, brilliant talent. Their music lives on and will live on forever!
I listen to LZ-I about 3x to 4x as often as any other LZ.
I have a hard time not saying LZ-II is my favorite, but I listen to LZ-I twice as often as LZ-II. I can't help it. it's the one I always want to hear.
Every song is a cover, other than 1 or 2.
@@betweentheair Of course some songs are covers. Even the Beatles covered other songs on their first album. But with Led Zeppelin, it's what they DID with those covers that made them so brilliant. They took some simple songs and turned them into their own complex creations through their own amazing talent. Better than the originals for sure.
@@suzedeque correct.
But the whole album is covers lol. With no acknowledgement.
People should know
@@betweentheair Here's a quote about it: "Led Zeppelin did, in fact, give credit where credit was due for some tracks (“You Shook Me”, “I Can't Quit You Baby”, “When the Levee Breaks”, and a half-hearted attempt with “Boogie with Stu”), but not in all cases." They were sued for some they did not acknowledge. But for SURE, they changed them up to reflect their own incomparable style and substance. Still one of the best and most influential bands ever, and I've lived through them all.
This is not exaggerating, this isn’t opinion… Led Zeppelin is the greatest band to ever exist.
There are opinions, and then there are facts. You, my friend, are laying down facts. It's probably even provable mathematically. Good post.
Period!
That is a fact
One man's subjective is another man's objective.
@@mikebourgeois1011 in my opinion, one man's objective is every man's objective, and that's a fact, I feel.
Heard this at 14 and still listening 55 years later. Saw them live twice. Best band ever!!
Me too!
Now are you starting to understand why all us old guys keep saying today's music sucks compared to what we had in the 70''s?
That’s just not true. Theres never been more good music being made today, most of it just isn’t being thrust down your throat, you gotta find it
Already was there
That's not good music, that is GREAT music.
Joe bonomassa does a great job of this song.
@@Credemis I'm not a fan of today's pop/country/rap music, that being said I wasn't a fan of pop music back in the day. Led Zeppelin and most other "classic rock" bands weren't pop music in their time it was referred to as album or FM rock. There were so good pop songs then of course like there are some good ones now. But pop music is for the most part throw away music. A big problem old timers like me have with modern music is it's to computerized/over produced.
"World's Greatest Band."
Thank you Polo for another Led Zeppelin song. You've got to check out Led Zeppelin's What is and what never should be..... Plant's head explodes and your face will TWITCH!!!
YES 👍
Led Zeppelin. My favourite band and they have a song for every mood or occasion. Magic happens when 4 brilliant musicians morph into a single entity.
It's surreal that people haven't heard these songs!
I’m drinking wine too and this song is so beautiful!❤️❤️❤️❤️RIP John Bonham
Cheers to both Bonzo and The Professor as well. R.I.P. you Gods of thunder.
@@THCya9796I still miss Bonham so damn much.
A SUPERB track from a SUPERB album. What more can I say? 73 years old now & I still LOVE it!
This is their early stuff. Everything they did was great.
Their early stuff was the hardest rocking. 1&2 BOTH embody what Rock and Roll was all about. It's supposed to be about. Technicians in studios have taken over the industry where everything has to fit into a mold. Zeppelin had it for sure... Tools got it on a level also. PLANT sings from the heart and puts his soul in it. Leaves it all out there. I've seen him 4xs as recently as 2018. He's different now but still puts it all out there. You never leave dissapointed.
@@JeffWall-rl1uuit’s the true passion doing what they really loved/love doing, not every band has that true passion. As JPJ once said, even on our worst days we were better then most, on our best days we mop the floor with them. He also said, whether there’s 20 or 20,000 fans, we always try to give them our best. Yes sometimes Plants vocals had some issues, but the way they toured, & the way he sang it’s not surprising.
I think they are the greatest rock band of all time - I love so many bands, but in the just straight up rock-n-roll category, these guys are the goat.
THIS song is certainly my favorite Zeppelin song. It is PERFECT!!! Amazing to realize I first enjoyed it some 56 years ago!!!! It hasn't aged one bit, contrary to me!!!
All of the highs and lows that Zep is known for are contained within this one track! Amazing breadth of emotion. Thanks Polo!
Light and Shade.... Zeppelin's signature style
At 64 years old Robert Plant could sing me the phone book and I'd still drop my panties! Just saying his voice was and still is magical. Forever a Led Zeppelin fan!!!
Dropping those fundies!
Ha ha ,65 now and I get you. He is the only man who gives me unfaithful thoughts
I’m pretty sure he was born in 1948 which makes him 75 or 76.
Truth
Kinda hilarious in a way to see the young'un reacting pretty much how we did in the very early 70's..... timeless rock
I see Zeppelin, man... I click on it and FAST! 😂
AND TO THINK THEY WERE ONLY 19,20,21 UEARS OLD INCREDIBLE
It’s so crazy when you look at a typical 19 yr old. The talent & passion for music made them different. And thank the gods for that.
@@kathiek4239 yeah there was definitely something going on with the kids in England in those days
the only other band that was as explosive at that age was Grand Funk Railroad...who opened for Zep in 69' in Detroit....they were so explosive that Zep had to drop them immediately - that being said, GFR is no Led Zeppelin
Robert was just a kid... where does a young man of that age learn to sing like this ? Answer... you don't learn it, you must be be born with it😮
Led zeppelin and pink floyd ❤
Polo, I also gotta recommend Led Zeppelin “The Rain Song” if you enjoy acoustic guitar and the song is unbelievably beautiful. It will be played at my funeral one day.

He did! I saved you time and scrolled through until I found it! The link is
Thank you!
indeed, go for the live version 2fer from the movie ❤
Great music never gets old. Just like fine wine.
@Heartstrings_Skyla the music never gets old but why the fuck do the fans have to?
Joking of course because yoh couldn't pay me to go through being in my twenties again .
Fuckin fun but hard work.
Fire and ice
@@Butterfly9173-j7z ain't that the truth.
I'm glad someone suggested this. This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. It's so well written and just down right beautiful in every sense.
They didn't write this song, Anne Bredon did. Then Joan Bae covered it and this is their version of her version.
And the feelings it evokes...🤍🎧💫
I absolutely LOVE his Zep reactions!!
I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin for 20 years, and this guy discovering their music and going through it with us is amazing because it’s like I’m discovering them for the first time.
The absolute best.
@@omni379I love the reactors that do all their songs, sadly many pick just a few, & miss so many real masterpieces. One I follow did each song & album in order, & at the end of each album picked some lives to do. We just finished ITTOD 2 weeks ago, next is CODA which I’m not real crazy about, sadly most songs were ones they rejected. After Bonham’s death, contractually they needed one more album, so it’s songs they rejected for their albums. This reactor then plans to go back & do more live songs. Thank you again Polo for your reaction.
Ah, the mighty Zep. Fifty years later and this song is still on my play list.
Each member was in and of themselves on the level of Mozart and Beethoven as far as musical genius. That's how they did so much at such a young age.
Uh.. no.. Jimmy wasn't constructing full orchestral arrangements at 5 years old like Mozart. Mozart WAS goodwill hunting. The mighty ZEP was awesome, but they weren't in the same stratosphere as Bach and Mozart.
No.
Im enjoying watching your journey in to led zep with you.
Robert has said his generation from england wanted to get out from under the doom amd gloom of the war. Their parents lived through it, and it weighed upon the kids. They needed an escape.
My favorite Zeppelin tune ever!! love this and its meaning! The best Zeppelin album ever!!❤️
Seems like I say that about a lot of their songs.
@kennethdennis40
No, the first Zeppelin album and the song being reacted to “Bsbe I’m Gonna Leave You”
Babe
Masterpiece. Start to finish. Pure artistry. ❤
I wish there was a love button. This was the song that made me pick up a guitar at the age of 8. I had to learn this song. This is still my favorite song. I heard on a scratchy record and I was hooked. It was 1980. No sound better in my opinion
Babe I probably been listening to led Zeppelin longer than you've been born, seriously my all-time favorite every single f****** song, I ain't lying
Love you Polo for listening to the Universe of magic that was Led Zeppelin! I saw + heard all of it
My fav zeppelin of all time. In my top five of any band, actually.
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Like others, this is in my top 5 Zeppelin songs. What can you say, just a great acoustic work by Page, Bonhams drums, and Plants vocals.
I can remember driving home from work and if this came on the radio I was driving around the block until it's over.
Turned 11 in 1970 and a cousin introduced me to LZ at the party in his car. I was floored, and hooked. I bought every album over the years, bought and wore out 8 tracks and cassettes in my car, have all the cds. They were the core and basis of my music now since that 11th birthday
Not only was this performed by Led Zep, it was also a hit for "Chicago" 25 or 6 to 4. (sarcasm)
This was a campfire favorite in the 70’s. Everyone brought their guitars and we jammed, playing this and other songs of the day.
campfire favourite? just took the wind out of the sails.
Been my favorite song by them for a long time. Got it on record and it's chefs kiss for sure!!
Amazing.
I grew up on this tune. Is a part of my DNA.😊
THE BEST GOD DAMN BAND EVER!!!!! They have rocked my world since I was 14. Been a long time. Never get tired of them. Plant solo is AMAZING!
Polo,dude, I have never heard a Zeppelin tune I didn't love. Hope you enjoy them as much as we have for 50 years, yo!!!!!!! ENJOY, BROTHER!
In The Light by Led Zeppelin is another masterpiece. Found them for myself at age 13. I'll be 58 soon. I play their music nearly every day. Thank you for reacting to them. My beloved band.
Thank for digging in a lil deeper with this band. Album 1 and 2 are the best!
LOL Albums 1 and 2 are the best, except for Albums 3 and 4. 😉
@@djknox2 3 and 4 are quite awesome. Except 1 and 2 taught them ALL something!
Oh, we gonna fight over great music? Nope!
@@djknox2 true Dat. I cream 3&4!
One of my favorites ❤ absolutely mind blowing
Welcome to the Mountan Top of Rock brother. Enjoy their greatness. I sure as hell have? And as far as I'm concerened? Im a Fan of you AND your channel! Thank you Polo for your great content and well thought, intelligent opinions.
I'm 68 yrs old and this is one of my top 3 rock/blues songs of all time!
One of Led Zeppelin Masterpiece song and one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs!!!
Polo I love your 0-60 comment. Zeppelin understood the magic of amplitudes, leading you gently down a path until boom they hit you with a landmine
You never cease to amaze me, Polo. Zeppelin is the best. Thank you
Led Zeppelin The Crunge, Dancing Days, Your Time is Gonna Come, there are just so many great tunes by them.
Dancing Days!! A favorite of mine.
Every song by Zeppelin Rocks! No such thing as a bad or not so good. Zeppelin Rocks 4 Everyone 4-Ever. 😎❤️🔥💯🦦
Definitely hallelujah!!❤️
🎼I missed this one too, Polo! I was listening to Pink Floyd! I’m only an hour late because of David Gilmour! I’m 71 and Led Zeppelin was big when I was in high school. Now I’m gonna be late for bed because of Robert Plant! Keep the good rolling at us Polo. I’m a musician and music moves my soul, especially these 2 bands. Add the Moody Blues in there too. All three could write awesome music.
I'm a fan of you! It has been so uplifting to rediscover with you these amazing bands I grew up with. You have actually helped me appreciate them even more 🤗 Thank you for your honest reactions and sharing your joy with us.
You said exactly how I feel!
This is probably one of my absolute top Zeppelin songs.
Polo, watching you feel this one Deep into your Soul was a great experience to watch.
When music works it's magic it is a wonderful thing! I have a great feeling that this one will be more than just a 4Runner tune!
Best band ever!!
My favorite band EVER💯
There's magic in Zeppelin. Every track is amazing. And you always remember where you heard it.
The Venn diagram of Led Zeppelin fans and Tool fans is pretty much a circle.
my favorite zep song! ❤ so GOOD.
Gallows Pole another good one.
Unbelievable aren't they Polo and you've only scratched the surface of their awesome music. Without doubt they are the GOATS.
Their very FIRST album... I think they were all just in their early 20's... absolutely one of their BEST songs of all their masterpieces... been waiting to see this one show up for your reaction :)
One of my favorite of them, glad your reacted to this one. Great rythms and lead, crazy voice and lyrics, and always loud drums, love love and love
Zeppelin I is one of the top 5 greatest debut albums ever, that's just fact. And maybe their best album period. If nothing else Plant's voice was never better
Led Zeppelin Has SO MUCH power in their music. I grew up with them and it is nice to see younger generations discovering the beauty of what I hear so many Young calling them Dino rock groups. Thanks for liking the music I couldn't get enough of when I was a kid.
Hi Polo! I requested this song via the buy me a coffee link so I’m so happy you’ve reacted to it! This track gives me chills every time I hear it. Led Zeppelin replaces my dopamine every damn time. Their music is alchemy ✨
I will forever be in love with what they have created in our lifetime. Music is medicine 🔥
Love that you loved it!
Fantastic song and made 55 years ago. Got to love Led Zeppelin!
So, so many good tracks. The Rain song, Kashmir, whole lotta love...I could go on and on
So MANY great Zep songs, this is definitely among the best, glad you finally got to experience this one, and enjoy a stogie while doing so.
I’ve been really enjoying your perspective on the mighty Zeppelin..it’s how I grew up!
Ya gotta dig it man
I'm Gonna Crawl is an intense bluesy song where Plant is sooo good! Check it out!
I grew up with LZ, lived them. All these years later I still can't describe them in words or their music. I just sit back, marvel, and enjoy.
🌸 each member of this group is so exceptionally talented and then when you bring them together it's just...magic
This is my favorite Zep tune. April 7th, 1977 Chicago Stadium, 2nd row on the side of the stage next to Page.
I was also at one of those April 1977 Chicago Stadium shows but I was in balcony way in back. However I did manage to get 8th row center for fall dates that were later added. I was at a Bad Company concert at the Stadium and during intermission it was announced that more Zeppelin show were added and that the tickets were going on sale in the next morning. That was the first time anyone knew of this. We went from the Bad Company concert to Flip Side Records in Hoffman Estates and waited overnight for their ticket sales to begin. It was funny because everyone else in line also came from the Bad Company concert. Unfortunately the Zeppelin concert never happened as tragically Robert Plants son died and the tour was cancelled.
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
Had to learn the acoustic guitar part after I heard this song. Great reaction to a great song
Thanks Polo, for such a great appreciation for this song and Led Zeppelin in general. I have enjoyed virtually a lifetime of listening to this LP that I purchased at 15 years old. It remains my favorite LZ record and that is saying a lot. It is the most blues-based album and it brought a new meaning to heavy to the music scene. More please!
We and they didn't have social media taking up our time or brain space. More time back then to be truly creative.
Remember when most singers also played instruments.
Great reaction! One of my all time Zeppelin faves. I first heard this on record when I was 13 in like 1977 and it really affected me. Pure emotion, and represents a consistent core sound and feel for Led Zeppelin.
I wore my first copy of this album OUT when I first bought it, not long after it was being talked about by friends. They were so different, alot of people I played this for said they were too heavy or too loud. But they never went away. And now this generation sees & hears this band. Thats why I'm here tonight watching you enjoy this.
Nothing like listening to a 20 year old Plant. It was different back then.
This album was recorded in 36 hours!
I’m discovering that so many of the older recordings I love were primarily born in the creative flow of the moment.
Sergeant Peppers, for example, was not meticulously fussed over. John or Paul would come up with something, and it would be incorporated or not, but quickly, lightly.
It wasn’t analyzed to death!
Same here. All the LD fellows were seasoned/tempered musicians, so the creativity radiated brightly and quickly.
Thank you so much POLO. This is one I discovered when I was 11 yrs old, 1991. This song and this album made my head explode. Good reaction, good take on this. Glad you covered this. Cheers. Nessa from the Kootenays.
