Nothing makes an original Zeppelin fan happier then seeing a new generation discover why we loved Zeppelin from the first album. "Who was your inspiration ?" - response "Led Zeppelin" - says every band since.
Since I've Been Loving You. I totally understand your reaction. The first time I heard it 50 years ago, I was just as flabbergasted as you are. I could not pick up my jaw off the floor. The raw intensity of it is overwhelming. One of the best blues ever written by LZ, and in fact, one of the best ever written, period. BTW, the bass on this song is John Paul Jones playing the Hammond bass pedals at the same time he's playing the organ itself. He used to play the organ in church for a few quid when he was a youngster. That's how he bought his first bass. When people talk about Zeppelin, it's usually about Page, Plant and Bonham, because all three were so flamboyant. JPJ was the quiet one, and hence so underrated, but the man was a genius. Such an accomplished musician. Not only was he rock solid on bass, but also a multi-instrumentalist and an outstanding arranger.
People shouldn't talk of "Jonesy"in the past tense. He may be trolling and blurt out "l'm not dead yet". A famous line from the film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
Since I've been loving you!!!!!the ultimate guitar song and Robert Plant gives it like no blues singer ever did ,I feel he is the greatest heavy rock and blues singer of all time ,he's the best!!!!song makes me weep every time!!!
Apart from Shrek III, Led Zeppelin originally denied Richard Linklater permission to use "Immigrant Song" in School of Rock, but star Jack Black was able to convince them by making a video of himself performing the song. A cover of "Immigrant Song", produced by Atticus Ross and Nine Inch Nails member Trent Reznor with vocals from Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O, plays in the trailer and throughout the title sequence of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. "Immigrant Song" was included in both the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok and twice in the film itself. Ref from Wikipedia.
The “keyboard” sound on Friends was an actual string section arranged by John Paul Jones. It’s well known that Page was an accomplished session musician, but what is less known is that JPJ was a gifted session musician and arranger in his own right and as a multi-instrumentalist he added an abundance of diversified color to their music the importance of which cannot be overstated.
the riff or at least the closest thing to that riff is from a classical composition that I heard one time and cannot remember who/what/where, but Jimmy as always took it to a level that no one else could.
@@bishlap Jimmy, Jimmy , Jimmy always Jimmy. He was great, the architect, the mastermind etc…all I’m saying is that Zeppelin wouldn’t have been half as good without the contributions of JPJ because often times all the credit goes to Jimmy, but giving credit where credit is due, it needs to go elsewhere sometimes.
You seem to have a natural talent for the production of the songs. Given your love for music I can see you as a musician, producer, sound engineer or all of the above if you so desire. You have become my favorite reactor because of the pure joy for the music in your reactions. There's so much more to find! Have fun exploring 😊.
Well put! Enthusiasm goes a long way. Or, as Mozart himself said: "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
Zep III really a diamond in the rough. Just epic. (Well Zep fans already know it's great!) Don't worry about the lyrics the first go around! So cool to see the younger gen discovering and just grovin to Pages raucous riffing, Jonesy's bludgeoning bass lines, Bonzo's explosive drums, and Robert's vociferous vocals!
How times change. When this album came out it was not highly praised and was considered one of the least memorable LZ albums. Now 50 plus years later it is considered one of the best.
Although it is important to remember that it was not highly praised by the press. And as Gene Simmons correctly stated : " The press don`t matter". I`m not saying that because I am a LZ fan. If you doubt that, one only has to ask two questions : 1. Did ANYONE EVER buy a record because they had read a good review of it in the papers ? 2. Did ANYONE EVER stop listening to a record they owned because it was given a bad review ? This may sound arrogant, but I KNOW the answer to both those questions.....No & No.
Yeah, the press said, "LZ has gone acoustic". But LZ III is the complex acoustic music you will find. Jimmy Page acoustic guitar playing is really underrated.
@@bontrent4521 back in college in the middle 70's if Rolling stone mag didn't like an album, I would buy it. I remember how bad they hated Heart "dreamboat Annie "
I swear to God Jimmy Page is a friggin alien! How the hell can he jam nonstop like that! Robert Plant with a killer vocal performance and a super tight rhythm section. It's no wonder Zeppelin stood the test of time.👍👍❤
I love that song, too. And they only played it live once. In Japan when John Bonham was taking his time getting back to the stage after an acoustic set.
I saw Led Zeppelin three times in Seattle when I was a youth in my teens 1968 when I was 15 1973 and 1975 they’ve always been my most favorite band and they are the Kings of hardrock
Verdy I love the expression on your face when you have that moment of recognition about a song. Not quite the reaction to Go Your Own Way was but still charming. First time I have ever seen anyone associate Led Zeppelin with Shrek a subtle reminder of our age difference
You are one of my favorite music reactors cause you actually pay close attention to what’s happening in the song. You even made a comment on the first LZ album on a specific sound that I hadn’t paid attention until you said it, even when I’d heard that album a thousand times before hahahah
I can’t help but smile when I see someone who appreciates music listening to LZ for the first time. Especially a young person. I’m kind of jealous that you are getting to hear all these for the first time. Enjoy. There are a whole lot more to experience!!!
Nothing like having that 1st experience of listening to Zep 3. Man it blew my socks off...Since I've been loving you, is my Led Zep favorite. Plant gives you chills with his vocals. Page makes you weep with his incredible guitar solo. The 2nd side of the album is also so good. Enjoy!!
I truly enjoy it every time you say, "Guitar." And that's not a knock on your English. Your English is excellent and far superior to my French. But I like the way you say guitar. :)
@craenor I love French accents in general. Beautiful sounding language. I took a French class in high school, and the first day of class, in walks this gorgeous, 5 ft. tall redhead teacher, in her mid to late 20s, and when she walked up to me and said "bonjour", i was like 😍.
On sibly Jimmy turned up plugged a guitar into an amp he'd never even seen before, didn't even check any settings then ripped out THIS improvised solo 1st go in 1 take!!! The engineer who recorded it said its the best solo he's ever heard in his life!
Every time I listen to Since I've Been Loving You I start shedding tears like a baby and along with The Rain Song they are my two favorite LZ songs and they always choke me up
One of my all time favourite albums and one that proved Led Zep's ability to compose and play outside of just the Rock and Blues genres. Robert Plant of whom you, quite rightly in my view, said "That voice!" was just a couple of months past his 22nd birthday when this was released - a phenomenal talent, the undoubted king of the stage and still the yardstick by which Rock/Blues frontmen are judged, he's been often imitated but never surpassed. Your choice, and reaction to, the albums of my teenage years is exceptional - your reaction is not that much different to mine at the time (is a vicarious observation but deeply satisfying) . Keep going young lady, it's both moving and inspirational to watch you discover these marvellous bands that I've known all of my life.
Zeppelin is my favorite band. I absolutely love Plant's vocals. All of them. But when you talk about blues/rock singers, especially from that time, you gotta talk about Gregg Allman. One of the greatest white male blues singers ever.
I get so emotional seeing the younger generation falling in love with Led Zeppelin's catalog...I Can't say if it's going to continue to get better and better for you after the third album, but, I will say that you have many more discoveries to come! Thank you for this......
My favourite album. I was in my first relationship when it came out. Never left my turntable for 6 months, just flipped it and flipped it again. Great days that we will never see again
Your reaction to Since I've Been Loving you is the same reaction I have to this day, and I heard it for the first time about 45 years ago...the whole album is great, but that song is an absolute power blues masterpiece. It's Zep at the top of their game. Keep up your great content!
I knew you would love "Since I've been loving you" ! Personally, that's my favorite Led Zeppelin song since I was about your age more than 50 years ago ! What you're doing is simply bringing us more than 50 years ago, rediscovering Led Zeppelin for the first time all over again ! Don't change, continue exploring music, you're in for a treat !
Excellent! Immigrant Song you recognize; it was also in the Thor Ragnarok movie. Robert wrote it while on tour in Iceland. Friends is in an open guitar tuning to help it resemble a sitar and they had a session musician play tabla. Friends has a droning sound at the end as it goes into Celebration Day because Celebration Day was originally going to start with drums, but somehow they got erased so they just extended the drone sound from Friends into it instead of trying to re-record the drums. Robert said the inspiration for Celebration Day was the City of New York. Since I've Loving You is an outstanding, emotional blues song. That fantastic guitar solo was recorded in one take! Jimmy got the title and melody inspiration for Out On The Tiles from John Bonham. It was a drinking song he used to occasionally sing, part of it which went "I've had a pint of bitter and now I'm feeling better and I'm going out on the tiles". You do great reactions and I'm looking forward to the next half.
Shrek Rocks!! "The greatest thing you ever can do now, trade a Smile with someone who's blue now, it's very easy", "Her face is cracked from Smiling". Thanks for making me Smile!
I love watching you youngsters enjoy the music that I grew with. I'm new to your channel and you do a really fine job. Let your curiosity take you on your musical. Keep up the good work. Zeppelin is my all time favorite group next to the Beatles. Rock on, classic rock will never die. I love this album. I was 15 when this was released, it's good evidence of their progression.
When Plant shouts, "JUST ONE MORE" (@23:32)on "Since IBLY" gives this old timer goosebumps, still! I'd say along w/ Stairway/Levee breaks/Kashmir/In my time of Dying, THEE BEST LZ TUNES EVER, and that is really saying something. I LOVE Drugs, women and SIBLY and not necessarily in that order.
At some point, you'll appreciate circling back and hearing live versions of all these great Zep tracks....that is a deep rabbit hole, and a whole other world.
This was my very first album ever. I was told to buy LZ4 but they were all out and i liked the way the cover to 3 looked so i bought it instead and can honestly say i like it better than 4! Every song so unique you cant help but air drum and guitar!
I'm exactly the same. First album I ever bought as a kid and I just liked the cover. To this day it's still my favourite, it was LZ's most diverse, heavy, bluesy, folksy. SIBLY was their greatest song.
Zeppelin had somehow negotiated to have creative control of the jackets of a few of their albums, used it to stick it to them by creating ridiculously expensive jackets that the record companies had to honor. Lol. I doubt that happened again.
I am glad you finally chose to listen to the first half of the great Led Zeppelin 3. You remind us when we were young how we react to Led Zeppelin 3. Thank You 😎👍✌️
It is fantastic seeing you enjoying yourself listening to this Zep album. We (brother, sister and I) listened to this album a gazillion times. This is my favorite Zep because it has hard rock, blues and acoustic all throughout the album. Sooo glad you are getting into this....side 2 next...yea!! Keep up the good fun you are doing Great!
Can you imagine Plant was only in his very early 20s when he recorded Since I've Been Loving You, one of the most powerful blues tracks ever! I heard it for the first time when I was the same age (only decades later) and since then it still is one of my absolute fav Zep tracks. And I already was looking forward to your reaction to it - I didn't get disappointed - you are indeed the coolest reaction videos person. ZZ III was heavily critizised by fans and critics alike because apart from the above mentioned song they derived from their blues-rock roots and went into more accoustic folk rock/world music. Nowadays this album is regarded as the zenit of their work together with IV.
It's a pleasure to watch you react, you notice details that most of the people don't hear..........and you hear detail I haven't notice for 50 years. And you get moved by what you hear. After watching this, Led Zeppelin III is now my favorite of all their records........ha ha, after 50 years.
Hi miss Verdy, that moment in these first 3 zeppelin albums when Jimmy Page hits you with shock & awe! That's exactly what we all did back in the 70's. We're all reliving those moments watching your reactions so thank you for that! 👴👍😉 on a side note, you really, really, really should watch the movie the song remains the same to see these 4 masters of music in action! 🧙♂️🇺🇸🦅
3 albums in 2 years and LZ 4 in 1971 is a feat no one will ever match for total greatness in rock music.. not even The Beatles who had Revolver/Pepper and Magical-MT in a short span... now that's saying something about how great Zeppelin (and the Beatles) were.
Excellent reaction - you definitely get it, music this old, still this good......good to see it translate so many years later. They were light years ahead of everyone else at the time. You reaction proves it.
Been enjoying the analytical depth of Your perceptions ever since You began Reacting to Classic Rock. Have seen many of these Groups 'live' over the decades. It's SO refreshing to see 'fresh ears' genuinely appreciate the detail that captured these now 'old ears' all those decades ago (eg. Zeps 'since I've been loving you'). Verdy is my favourite Reaction Channel by far.
I'm 60... none of my friends are into Led Zep, I always listen to this album on my own... it's awesome to have someone to share it with... just to listen and enjoy it... looking forward to Side 2...
Welcome to your new life with Led Zeppelin. I first listened to "Since I've Been Loving You" 52 years-ago, and I felt then how you felt in your video. I have great news for you...it's as good or better 52 years later. The greatest band of all time at the top of their game. I love it that young people recognize it. Thank you for sharing your joy.
Hi Verdy, great reaction girl! You must see "Since I've Been Loving You" live from Madison Square Garden, 1973 amazing Performance! Keep rocking girl, thank you! 🤘🏻
I’m really enjoying how you’re letting these songs play out a little more without interruption, mostly because your first time experience will be better. And the volume level difference between you and the music has narrowed. There’s still a high pitch humming/buzzing during the pauses, FYI.
Great job again, VERDY, you never disappoint with your reactions!! In all honesty this is not my favourite side of music from LZ, though the sheer brilliance of "Since I've Been Loving You" stands out to this day. One of their best songs, period. Looking forward to side 2!
Cant wait til you get to Houses of the Holy. That's a KILLER Led Zeppelin album and my very 1st one I bought in 1975. I was hooked on Mr Daily Doug for awhile. I still watch him occasionally. But I enjoy your reactions more, because you really just absorb the music and enjoy it, instead of talking too much and over-analyzing it. THANK YOU Verdy, because you are helping me rekindle my Love for many albums I burned myself out on from too many repeated listenings 🥴
They had control over design, and used it to stick it to the company by creating ridiculously expensive covers which the company had to honor or break the contract. Awesome.
To me, Led Zeppelin are the Beatles of the 70s. They didn't shy away from every genre of music they could get their hands on and also nailed it, improved it and left it behind for other bands to learn it. As with the Beatles, they have no single bad song. And like the Beatles, they broke up too early. And they lost one member in a tragic way that shouldn't have happened...
I love watching your reactions to Led Zep videos. Great to see young people into Led Zeppelin. Even after only three albums I am sure you’ve by now learned what sets this band apart from all others. I sincerely hope you will find your way through their entire catalog with traction videos. It is so much fun seeing people “get” what it is about that band. And yes - I am 52, discovered LZ just a few years after their demise. Still my favorite band - as you said so so good. Keep going with them. You are in for some real treats. All the best to you young lady
Its amazing watching old concert footage of them playing these songs live. Even though these studio albums used lots of overdubs (which why you can hear more than the three instruments i.e two guitars) they still sounded great live.
My favorite part of your reactions are the "Come on!" exclamations. This album side had quite a number of them as you process the great talent coming through the headphones. Keep it up!!
When I saw Page/Plant play this in '97 , after all that had happened to them and me in the intervening 20 years since I saw them last, I burst into tears. It was a really super special moment.
This is such a great album. It really shows the musicianship of each member. I love how you pick up on JPJ's base lines in every song. You seem to have quite an exceptional ear for music. Keep them coming
Loved your reaction to Since I've Been Loving You! I have always thought it was among their very best work. The engineer who recorded the song said Jimmy Page recorded the solo piece in one take. Said it was the best he has ever recorded.
Nothing makes an original Zeppelin fan happier then seeing a new generation discover why we loved Zeppelin from the first album. "Who was your inspiration ?" - response "Led Zeppelin" - says every band since.
Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973), unbelievable performance
Since I've Been Loving You. I totally understand your reaction. The first time I heard it 50 years ago, I was just as flabbergasted as you are. I could not pick up my jaw off the floor.

Greatest blues song of all-time.
People shouldn't talk of "Jonesy"in the past tense. He may be trolling and blurt out "l'm not dead yet". A famous line from the film Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
LOL Yes I remember the Mental Masturbation as well.
Since I've been loving you!!!!!the ultimate guitar song and Robert Plant gives it like no blues singer ever did ,I feel he is the greatest heavy rock and blues singer of all time ,he's the best!!!!song makes me weep every time!!!

Hello from California! You might want to check out the Zeppelin song “Going to California” Live at Earls Court, 1975.
Zep's like Shakespeare, they'll pop up all over the place in popular culture for years to come.
They're truly something, aren't they Verdi?
You're listening to four of the most creative musicians ever assembled ... keep it going youngins!

Since I've Been Loving You one of Led Zeps greatest songs. Shows the whole band at their absolute best!
It's perfection.....
To me, there could be equally great songs than Since I’ve Been Loving You, but none better!
One of the greatest songs ever made.
It IS their best song - In my humble opinion
How times change. When this album came out it was not highly praised and was considered one of the least memorable LZ albums. Now 50 plus years later it is considered one of the best.
Although it is important to remember that it was not highly praised by the press. And as Gene

we're lucky that the press hated this album, because it really pissed Jimmy off... and we got LZ IV
I swear to God Jimmy Page is a friggin alien! How the hell can he jam nonstop like that! Robert Plant with a killer vocal performance and a super tight rhythm section. It's no wonder Zeppelin stood the test of time.👍👍❤
Every song on the album is great, even the ones that would not get airplay, like "Friends", for instance. 4 master musicians making incredible music.
I love that song, too. And they only played it live once. In Japan when John Bonham was taking his time getting back to the stage after an acoustic set.
YES!
I saw Led Zeppelin three times in Seattle when I was a youth in my teens 1968 when I was 15 1973 and 1975 they’ve always been my most favorite band and they are the Kings of hardrock
Whole Lotta Love is Top 10 hard rock songs ever..

I couldn't agree more Paul. ;)
Your reaction to "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of the best I've ever seen. Honestly brought a tear to my eye 💜
You’re going to hit 17,000 soon. CONGRATS!
Immigrant Song was also in Thor: Ragnarok, as well as School of Rock.

Yes, Since I've been loving you has to be one of the greatest songs ever. So emotional
I'm really enjoying your journey thru Led Zeppelin.. The Best is yet to come.. Enjoy
I truly enjoy it every time you say, "Guitar."
And that's not a knock on your English. Your English is excellent and far superior to my French. But I like the way you say guitar. :)
Completely agree. The only other person I’ve heard regularly with that accent is Georges St. Pierre.

hair pulled back, no makeup, horrible lighting and...... wow is she just...!!!
Led Zeppelin...always giving you things you didn't even know you needed.
This is a masterpiece.
The production, the music, all the of styles of playing and mood changing, make this one of their best.
I was shy and extremely self conscious when I was in high school, 69-73 but, listening to Led Zeppelin would break me out of my shell.
Since I've been loving you is one of the best rock songs ever recorded.
The guitar solo is mesmerizing.
I heard the song for the 1st time ever about 4 months ago and have listened to every Zeppelin album since
Such an amazing band. The way each member plays off each other is incredible. Truly a team.

Love these songs. I learned every song on this album.

When Plant shouts, "JUST ONE MORE" (@23:32)on "Since IBLY" gives this old timer goosebumps, still! I'd say along w/ Stairway/Levee breaks/Kashmir/In my time of Dying, THEE BEST LZ TUNES EVER, and that is really saying something.
I LOVE Drugs, women and SIBLY and not necessarily in that order.
Thanks for not skipping. Fine reaction thx
Immigrant Song in 1970 at age 5 mesmerized me. I am now 57 - a grandmother and a life long drummer - Bonzo entranced me.
Jimmy Page is the master of multiple guitar tracks, weaving different tunings within his productions. A true guitar wizard. Thanks Verdy!
"Since I've Been Loving You" is my favorite "blues" song by LZ. Simply superior!
Yes! I like how you are doing the LZ albums in the sequence they were released. What an incredible journey, and you're just getting started!
@Presley Steele go back to your mass produced (c)rap .
At some point, you'll appreciate circling back and hearing live versions of all these great Zep tracks....that is a deep rabbit hole, and a whole other world.
You got a great side 2 coming up. Gallows Pole & That's the Way are 2 of the greatest Zeppelin songs.
This was my very first album ever. I was told to buy LZ4 but they were all out and i liked the way the cover to 3 looked so i bought it instead and can honestly say i like it better than 4! Every song so unique you cant help but air drum and guitar!
I'm exactly the same. First album I ever bought as a kid and I just liked the cover. To this day it's still my favourite, it was LZ's most diverse, heavy, bluesy, folksy. SIBLY was their greatest song.
Zeppelin had somehow negotiated to have creative control of the jackets of a few of their albums, used it to stick it to them by creating ridiculously expensive jackets that the record companies had to honor. Lol. I doubt that happened again.
I am glad you finally chose to listen to the first half of the great Led Zeppelin 3. You remind us when we were young how we react to Led Zeppelin 3. Thank You 😎👍✌️
Hope you do all the Zeppelin albums. Can't wait til you get to Physical Graffiti, their best imo.👍
It is fantastic seeing you enjoying yourself listening to this Zep album. We (brother, sister and I) listened to this album a gazillion times. This is my favorite Zep because it has hard rock, blues and acoustic all throughout the album. Sooo glad you are getting into this....side 2 next...yea!! Keep up the good fun you are doing Great!
I think watching and hearing their evolution of music quality , and the way they grew as musicians was half the joy.😊
I always thought The Immigrant Song was too darn short!
LZ III is a masterpiece
Great reaction!!
Sitting here smiling at my phone screen ☺️ love your reaction
Immigrant Song was not only in Shrek, it featured prominently in the movie THOR: Ragnarok.
If your a Marvel fan.. “Immigrant Song” is basically Thor’s theme song in Thor: Ragnarok
She's wearing a WandaVision T shirt - that pretty much screams Marvel fan
You're awesome Verdy!
Can you imagine Plant was only in his very early 20s when he recorded Since I've Been Loving You, one of the most powerful blues tracks ever! I heard it for the first time when I was the same age (only decades later) and since then it still is one of my absolute fav Zep tracks. And I already was looking forward to your reaction to it - I didn't get disappointed - you are indeed the coolest reaction videos person.
ZZ III was heavily critizised by fans and critics alike because apart from the above mentioned song they derived from their blues-rock roots and went into more accoustic folk rock/world music. Nowadays this album is regarded as the zenit of their work together with IV.
It's a pleasure to watch you react, you notice details that most of the people don't hear..........and you hear detail I haven't notice for 50 years. And you get moved by what you hear. After watching this, Led Zeppelin III is now my favorite of all their records........ha ha, after 50 years.
Hi miss Verdy, that moment in these first 3 zeppelin albums when Jimmy Page hits you with shock & awe! That's exactly what we all did back in the 70's. We're all reliving those moments watching your reactions so thank you for that! 👴👍😉 on a side note, you really, really, really should watch the movie the song remains the same to see these 4 masters of music in action! 🧙♂️🇺🇸🦅
3 albums in 2 years and LZ 4 in 1971 is a feat no one will ever match for total greatness in rock music.. not even The Beatles who had Revolver/Pepper and Magical-MT in a short span... now that's saying something about how great Zeppelin (and the Beatles) were.
Excellent reaction - you definitely get it, music this old, still this good......good to see it translate so many years later. They were light years ahead of everyone else at the time. You reaction proves it.
Been enjoying the analytical depth of Your perceptions ever since You began Reacting to Classic Rock. Have seen many of these Groups 'live' over the decades. It's SO refreshing to see 'fresh ears' genuinely appreciate the detail that captured these now 'old ears' all those decades ago (eg. Zeps 'since I've been loving you'). Verdy is my favourite Reaction Channel by far.
Yeeeah so glad you're back to Zeppelin
I'm 60... none of my friends are into Led Zep, I always listen to this album on my own... it's awesome to have someone to share it with... just to listen and enjoy it... looking forward to Side 2...
You need cooler friends, my friend.
@@WooBino. 😆😅🤣😂
That's sad. We grew up on Zeppelin. Ixm 62. Being 60 and not loving Zep is kinda insane.
Welcome to your new life with Led Zeppelin. I first listened to "Since I've Been Loving You" 52 years-ago, and I felt then how you felt in your video. I have great news for you...it's as good or better 52 years later. The greatest band of all time at the top of their game. I love it that young people recognize it. Thank you for sharing your joy.
Hi Verdy, great reaction girl! You must see "Since I've Been Loving You" live from Madison Square Garden, 1973 amazing Performance! Keep rocking girl, thank you! 🤘🏻
I’m really enjoying how you’re letting these songs play out a little more without interruption, mostly because your first time experience will be better. And the volume level difference between you and the music has narrowed. There’s still a high pitch humming/buzzing during the pauses, FYI.
It’s her PC
Yes, I remarked on this high pitch/whine a few weeks ago, but it must be hard for her to get rid if it...
or she didn't read our messages.
In the song 'Friends' the haunting sounds you hear are cello and violin played by JPJ... The Moog keyboard joins at the end.
I didn't think she was going to actually review each song after it's played. Now that I know you're doing that you've definitely got my interest.
Great Verdy. LZ I-V were spinning nice on our turn tables, now on yours 💥🔥
Great job again, VERDY, you never disappoint with your reactions!! In all honesty this is not my favourite side of music from LZ, though the sheer brilliance of "Since I've Been Loving You" stands out to this day. One of their best songs, period. Looking forward to side 2!
Cant wait til you get to Houses of the Holy. That's a KILLER Led Zeppelin album and my very 1st one I bought in 1975. I was hooked on Mr Daily Doug for awhile. I still watch him occasionally. But I enjoy your reactions more, because you really just absorb the music and enjoy it, instead of talking too much and over-analyzing it.
THANK YOU Verdy, because you are helping me rekindle my Love for many albums I burned myself out on from too many repeated listenings 🥴
First one I bought too. On cassette!! This was before CDs, or at least before I could afford any CDs - early 80s.
If you know an older person that has the actual record the cover was amazing. It had a pinwheel that you can turn.
Still have it.
They had control over design, and used it to stick it to the company by creating ridiculously expensive covers which the company had to honor or break the contract. Awesome.
Or if you just want a treat
Led Zeppelin, Since I've Been Loving You - Live at Madison Square Gardens 1973😉
Your joy is infectious. I found myself subscribing even though I've already subscribed to too many channels.
To me, Led Zeppelin are the Beatles of the 70s. They didn't shy away from every genre of music they could get their hands on and also nailed it, improved it and left it behind for other bands to learn it. As with the Beatles, they have no single bad song. And like the Beatles, they broke up too early. And they lost one member in a tragic way that shouldn't have happened...
Back when albums were works of art as well. The album had a wheel that you would turn and back in the 70's this was pretty cool.
lovely to watch this review. the sheer enjoyment of you listening to these songs leaves me wishing you many more to listen to !
I love watching your reactions to Led Zep videos. Great to see young people into Led Zeppelin. Even after only three albums I am sure you’ve by now learned what sets this band apart from all others. I sincerely hope you will find your way through their entire catalog with traction videos. It is so much fun seeing people “get” what it is about that band. And yes - I am 52, discovered LZ just a few years after their demise. Still my favorite band - as you said so so good. Keep going with them. You are in for some real treats. All the best to you young lady
Not Rachel -- you're amazing!!! :-)
That 2nd come on for out on the tiles. Was the most heart felt surrender to the greatest of zeppelin! Waiting for zeppelin 4 COME ON! 🦸♀️👍
Its amazing watching old concert footage of them playing these songs live. Even though these studio albums used lots of overdubs (which why you can hear more than the three instruments i.e two guitars) they still sounded great live.
I can't wait to see Your Reaction to Led Zeppelin IV! ☺️ I Enjoy Your reactios a Lot.. By The Way have You Ever listened Emerson, Lake & Palmer?
Verdy you are so awesome in how much you love all the details and sounds you here and then play them with your little air guitar motions.....Love It
My favorite part of your reactions are the "Come on!" exclamations. This album side had quite a number of them as you process the great talent coming through the headphones. Keep it up!!
When I saw Page/Plant play this in '97 , after all that had happened to them and me in the intervening 20 years since I saw them last, I burst into tears. It was a really super special moment.
Greetings from Oregon. Rachel, we just dance. We'd do our best but always danced. Great reaction.
This is such a great album. It really shows the musicianship of each member. I love how you pick up on JPJ's base lines in every song. You seem to have quite an exceptional ear for music. Keep them coming
Saturday morning awakening with another Verdy reaction to an amazing album, couldn't be better.
I’ve been waiting for this for a while Verdy you are going to love it
Loved your reaction to Since I've Been Loving You! I have always thought it was among their very best work. The engineer who recorded the song said Jimmy Page recorded the solo piece in one take. Said it was the best he has ever recorded.
