The drum beat is a colossal beast of a groove. Often sampled and frequently imitated, but never, ever bettered. RIP Bonzo.
❤️
This is one reason Bonzo is my favorite rock drummer, and not that other guy.
@@sourisvoleur4854Who's the other guy. If he's deceased & was of Canadian descent, he still deserves respect.
@@monroegodette6440 He does indeed. He was very, very good.
I am 70 and have been to two Zep concerts and I still listen to every song for fifty years now.
I was thinking, isn't it strange that music that took days to make is still being listened to and influencing us.
It's like talent was already there - lightning in a bottle, as they say
Me too.
man, I envy you
I'm listening to this on a Friday night flashing back to listening to it on a pink Atlantic 8-track tape over 50 years ago.
saw them in DC on the last tour. fantastic show.
Just goes to show, 100 year old blues songs never die
I think this band is going places. lol. This came out in '71 so I've been mesmerized for 50-plus years now.
This just never gets old. I think it is important to remember that a foundational reason you "feel" so much from this and some other LZ songs (as well as other awesome productions that represent the era of what is known as the British invasion of rock and roll) is the cultural absorption and co-option of American southern blues in the '60's in England. This song was written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. In my opinion, this is a perfect example of the genius of Jimmy Page. When you hear the original version, you do feel as though you are able to relate to it in a very real and emotional way. To be able to take these musical emotions inherent in the originals and produce a stellar rock song is, again, genius.
Agree 100%. Still a little questionable that the liner notes say WRITTEN BY Jones, Page, Plant, Bonham. Minnie & Joe would like a word…
When Andre pushes his headphones into his head, and Dominica, smiles her beautiful smile...we know we have a reaction! ❤️❤️😂
Love to the Merchants, from the States.
You, sir, are correct! Led Zeppelin is on a whole other 🎸 🥁 🔊
Big smiles all round.
Robert Plant plays a mean harmonica 😊❤
The most insistent, driving, hard beat ever recorded. Plant is in top form on vocals and harmonica. Jones simple but fantastically complementary bass/rhythm. Whenever you need a final closing song for the day, turn up the volume and put this one on!
Don’t forget the awesome drumming by John Bonham!
From the top!
Robert on that harmonica!! Everything they did was magnificent!
THANK YOU. More zepp, more zepp. This song is from another world. Takes you in and never ever lets you go. Best band, ever.
Robert does a great job on the Harmonica!
The music, lyrics and the way all 4 members performed together is why Led Zeppelin will never die. The GOATS. Enjoy your reactions.
Robert Plant puts his soul into every note. That's why he touches us so deeply.
White water rafting in the laps of the luxurious Led Zeppelin.
Bonham was playing the drums in the 3 story entrance at Headley Grange, with a couple microphones hanging above, it gave it that magnificent beat. Especially the open drum beat. The band lived together at the estate, writing & recording many songs for this album. They had The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio, this is where the black Labrador hung out with them, & the name of the song Black Dog. There is some home video of them hanging out there, & shows the black dog roaming around. Thank you for your reaction fellow Led Zeppelin lovers.
Its genius.
Its brilliant
Bonzo's drumming is relentless, just amazing RIP
While sounding like a modern rock band, Zeppelin channels the spirit of Delta blues and the original melancholic song by Memphis Minnie. They had their feet in two worlds.
Recorded at Headley Grange (Jimmy's house for a while). They were able to get such a deep, rich drum sound by setting up the drums on the ground floor of the staircase, with microphones draped over railings 3 stories up. The natural "reverb" gives it that open sound with breathing room.
One of my top 5 Led Zep songs.
Yup….always…..
Led Zeppelin IV is in my opinion far and away their best album. It is Zeppelin in their prime. One of the best rock albums in rock history.
When she's talking about pulling you in...we call that " the groove ". Zeppelin were masters of the groove. Black Sabbath, too.
Always love your reactions. ❤
Original recorded by "Memphis Minnie" and "Kansas Joe Mc coy" in 1929. You Tube has the audio available to get reference. The history is documented about the flood of the Mississippi River (U.S.) in 1927 that inspired the original song. MAD RESPECT to Zepplin for this banger 😎
At least Zeppelin gave partial credit to Memphis Minnie. As great as Zeppelin was, the one drawback was that they took so many ideas from other artists to create their classic songs and rarely gave proper credit.
This is definitely my favorite zep song ! Great reaction! Thanks ❤️
You two are excellent…..thank you from England.
The ultimate driving song - trouble is you lose yourself in it and up with a speeding ticket
They recorded this album at Headley Grange which was a country manor house in southern England. To get that incredible drum sound they set Bonham's drum kit up in the entrance hall at the foot of a vast staircase. One of the best albums of all time in my opinion.
From the first time I listened to Led Zeppelin's mighty 4th album, "When the Levee Breaks" has been my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
There aren't any songs more badass than this one.
Agree! And the drum line -- perfection!
this is when a band takes a cover song and make it there owen Memphis Minnie would be proud of what they did with this
Sure, they're all great musicians and composers, great at improvising and finding that perfect note, tone, feel for any song, but what you don't have when they are apart is Zeppelin. They knew the first day they played together that there was something special when all four played together, the sum much greater than its individual parts. And it's that mystical, magical "other elements" that drove Zeppelin to become the greatest and most popular rock band of any time. Perfection.
The harmonica was the star in this song.
When the levee break I’m going to SHA-CAGO…SHA-CAGO (CHICAGO) going down going down now!
When the levee breaks was recorded in the Grange hall in Britain and it had a three-story open foyer.
The texture of this track is a feeling of pulling you under water, which neatly sums up the story behind this song that was first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. x
Robert Plant can stir anyone's soul with his voice. He's still making great music. Most notably with American Bluegrass singer Alison Krauss. They've won at least one Grammy award that I know of, for their collaboration. They've put out two albums together. They make great music together.
Your comment about recently experiencing the excellence of their music struck me, in a jealous way ... I heard my first Led Zeppelin song in 1969 ... 55 years ago and still recall how it impressed me then. I still love listening to their music.
The vibe Zep gives off is so unique, evertime I listen I feel like I'm home just chilling and being mellow . Fucking beautiful music 🎶
Every time I watch any of your reaction videos, it brings a smile to my face. I love your smiles as you listen and your views. I know sometimes you get embarrassed, but you shouldn’t!! Your reactions are wonderful to watch and makes my day!! Bless, and thank, you!!!! ❤️🤘🤘🎸🎸
When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
In amongst all of the comments about how stunning this drum track is... and believe me... I know just how stunning it is... the thing that so rarely gets mentioned with this song is Robert Plant's HARMONICA playing... To MY mind, it's equally as stunning.... I never, ever get tired of listening to every note he wrings out of it... and just how melancholy it sounds... Brilliant track but godness what a frigging album to put on... "Rock and Roll," "Black Dog," "Battle of Evermore," "Stairway to Heaven," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Four Sticks," "Going to California," and then ending with this. Bloody Hell, my 18 year old ears loved it when I put it on the record player having just picked it up from the record shop in 1971.
This song still gives me goosebumps after 50 years!
I'm Russian, but everyone who loves Led Zeppelin is my brothers!
Yes! I've been waiting for this song. It's o.k. to say "Led Zeppelin" is your favorite band.
Dude,,, you go to bed with those eyes so lit and that great big smile on your wife............. You are both so lucky to have each other... GOD Bless, and Thank You for sharing your beautiful souls here.
This is probably my favorite LZ song, nice reaction guys
Yeah…that’s what I call my favorite zep song andan all time classic. Drums like an avalanche and soul for days…
Yeah guys, IMO, Robert Plant, the singer for Zeppelin, is the GOAT of rock n roll singers! Thx guys, love your reactions
Best song of all time for me.. everything, literally every little thing is amazing on this piece.
Robert Plant on harmonica. And the phrase you’re looking for is “white water rafting”. And is SO much fun! 😁
the best band ever.... and i mean ever...
Have been listening to this for 30 years now and it still brings about a catharsis like no other. I am just so ecstatic during the song and after! Definitely an uplifting song music wise!!
Another brilliant song that LZ unfortunately never played live except for Page&Plant a few times on their 1996 tour in a rather short version; such a shame.
I actually found one video here on yt where they played it live. Here... ua-cam.com/video/rBMi6lN5wkI/v-deo.htmlsi=GlY1VlFZ2LYT3T8D
@@nebojsatomicevic6800 Embarrassing, embarrassing because I have the Hello Twin Cities CD with the same recording of “Bloomington January 18th.” Unfortunately, the song was only played at the beginning of the 1975 US tour. The internet video is even better in terms of recording technology.
All the best and have fun with good music.
My favorite Led Zeppelin song, along with Fool in the Rain (my favorite is whichever I heard last). The common factor? Bonzo's drums.
Led Zeppelin, like so many British artists, was very heavily influenced by the early southern blues from the Mississippi Delta region and other areas. Led Zeppelin was a band who was able to convey the feelings of the original blues artists.
Robert also plays the Harmonica parts in this song
You guys are great. Led Zepplin influenced tons of bands throughout the music industry, including Rush. Roberts voice has always been amazing. Thankyou for loving music.
Adore yous guys
Your boy Robert on harmonica
You both rocking and trying to press led Zeppelin into your ears!!! It was awesome.
"...and then there's a big waterfall."
Zep fans know exactly what she's talking about.
The MAGIC of John Bonham
Just brilliant you feel like you are there, Delta blues meets heavy rock!
You two are the best.
Thank You for sharing with us.
Great song choice.
Ok, so you've just hit one of the most epic drum tracks ever with this tune. For another very cool song with an epic drum track and great r&b guitar work, that many people aren't aware of, check out Nina Simone's cover version (Victor/RCA studio version) of the Bee Gees "To Love Somebody". Imho, it blows all other versions, including the original, out of the water.
This is my absolute favorite!
Excellent! Led Zeppelin lV❤❤
YAY YAY YAY OMG cant wait for this ONE!!! k goin in Weeeeeee...
Weeeeeeee indeed 😊
Your both are sooo cute.
Lol... you got me pressing my own headphones as if on cue! :)
Robert on harmonica.
ear candy AND shout out to John Bonham who was exceptional on this track..Jimmy Page was an awesome producer in the studio. Anyway sooooo good
I keep looking on your Playlist for you to listen to this song. It's truly my favorite Led Zeppelin song. It takes you to a different world.
ROBERT ! I am 68 years old and how many more time remastered has always been my favorite. I will be waiting for your reaction !!
Yeah it doesn't have to be your favourite but listen to it three times and you will crave it
Instant like... wish there was an adore button, I'd push that!
Thank you once again for doing my pick! Love your reactions!… this song besides giving you a bit of a feel for the deep south of America and showing off some amazing vocals and harmonica playing by Robert, also definitely is intended to put you in a bit of a trance and have a psychedelic feel as well. I hope you enjoyed the trip! Rock ‘n’ roll!
Even for Led Zeppelin this stands out ... song is a Monster !
John BobhamS drumming on this song just incredible
What a perfect reaction to a perfect song!
Love LZ❤. And it’s White Water Rafting!! Go for it!!!
Bonzo's drum technician set up his new drumkit in the hallway of Headley Grange (recording location) and they found that the echo and sound from the multi-floor building were perfect so they left the drum kit in situ and hung microphones over the banisters of the stairs to capture the sound... hence the awesome sound.
I love that your "ears are happy" 😁
The GOATS….OF ALL TIME! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥BONZO AND PLANT, PLANT On the Harmonica! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is a 1917 blues song about an actual flood! This one live is even better! Must see, they live in the live performance!
OH, DOMINICA!!! Hold onto your chair, Hon!!! This song is SO BLUESY!!! LOVE THIS SONG!!! You should, maybe, check out John Paul Jones' (bassist / keyboardist for Led Zeppelin) that he did in 2022: featuring multi-cultural artists from all around the world - they performed this song and, were called as a group: "Playing For Change" - IT IS AMAZING, AS WELL! I SO DUG IT!! But: again - HOW can you go WRONG with LED ZEPPELIN!!! :)
The hi-hat sound like a steam engine train chuggin' down the tracks....awesome stuff.
When y'all vibe, y'all vibe! ❤
Don't you just LOVE Zeppelin
perhaps the most underrated song from this huge band
I just found your channel the other day. You guys were doing a reaction to PF Brain damage and Eclipse. Loved it. But LZ is the G.O.A.T best ever. Really dig your channel. Keep up the good work ✌️
Nasty pocket!!
Zepparella does IMO the best cover of this great Zeppelin tune.
Great song ❤
We love you guys! Great reaction! Your friends from northeast Florida
In 1927 there was a devastating flood on the Mississippi River. They weren't sure how aid the city of New Orleans among other towns. They thought if they blew up the levees, the water would dissipate instead of hitting the city so hard because much of New Orleans is below sea level. Wrong! They destroyed even more, and many people had to find work in places like Chicago. In 1929 two folk singers wrote this song about the disaster. Robert Plant sings and plays the harmonica. This is considered Delta Blues.
Robert Plant is still touring in the summer 2024.
Please listen to a recent video with Alison Krauss (She has 27 Grammys.) called Gone, Gone, Gone.
It us fun and upbeat. Enjoy.
Robert on harmonica ❤❤❤
BONZO is SICK man ! :)
