My mother raised me on Led Zeppelin and as a young child I apparently was so offended that a friend did not recognize a song that I argued and then cried. This would have been when I was about four years old and I have no memory.
Not really. Page knew JPJ for years before that from the London session scene and was put on to Plant by word of mouth in the business so he sought him out. Plant knew of Bonham and recommended him. It's not like they all tried to get in the same taxi one day and fate intervened.

One of the most amazing aspects of Black Dog I think is that the guitar and drums slide into different time signatures on the chorus, but line up and get back in sync at the end of the chorus.
The song was scored beginning to end by the bass player John Paul Jones. The time signatures are so complicated the live versions tend to get very muddy, but the studio version is a masterpiece. If you listen carefully you can hear Bonham tapping his drum sticks together during Plants naked vocals which was the only way he could keep the time signatures in sync.
In 1974 Elvis was told he wasn't #1 in concert ticket sales anymore. He was passed by Led Zeppelin. He said "who is Led Zeppelin?". So, he went and listened to a couple of albums and said "these guys are good!". He was so impressed with their music he wanted to meet them. So, I think in 74 or 75 they meet at the L.A Forum at one of Elvis's concerts. The first thing he said "So, these are the guys that are out selling me!" He liked Led Zeppelin very much. Robert Plant tells the story of meeting Elvis. You can Google it.

Remember sitting around with friends and just listening to music like this? Everyone reacting, everyone commenting, everyone air guitaring. I remember doing it with my older brother, with my friends, and in college with my fraternity brothers. It was a nice way to spend an evening.... even without drugs.
I was a kid in the back seat of my mother’s Malibu listening to the Carpenters. Then one day as I played in the yard at our house a cool kid teenager from the neighborhood walked by with his boombox on his shoulder that eclipsed his head playing Black Dog maxing out his “D” batteries at sound volume 10. That moment changed my life forever!
My first boombox in '78 was jamming RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL by Van Halen as I walked out of the Little Creek Naval Base PX with it. Got smiles from everyone walking in.

Why did Led Zepplin name their song "Black Dog"?

I've heard that story a lot, but the term "black dog" was already common British slang for a dark mood, like you refer to someone who was depressed as having a "black dog." So even if that story is true, it must at least partially refer to the common meaning of the phrase. It would be like if someone had a song called "cold turkey," but said it was about a wild turkey that wandered around in their yard in December. Maybe that's true, but it's at least a double entendre.
I didn't know this iconic Led Zeppelin song was called "Black Dog". I was just a kid in the 70s and saw all teens from the neighborhood in Brooklyn take their radio and plug it into a street light. They sat on the steps of a Coca Cola Distribution warehouse for hours. My parents didn't let me talk to those "hippie" long haired torn jeans bad boys as the passed my building. I thought they were cool as hell and had a crushed on most of them. Ah to be a kid in the 70s.

in i972 I was 12 years old. There was no FM radio in Portland at the time so I listened to AM and liked music like the Partridge Family and Tony Orlando but heard Stairway to Heaven one day and loved it. I went to the record store to buy the 45 but was told the song was only available on by buying the album ZOSO, or Led Zeppelin IV. So I handed over 4.98,brought the record home and put it on the turntable. Side 1, track 1. Black Dog. As soon as I heard Robert Plant sing that first line, "Hey, hey mama said the way you move , gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove" followed by Jimmy Page's great riff my life was changed forever. I felt something inside that I had never felt before and didn't understand it. I still remember that feeling and now at the age of 60 I still cannot put it into words. Led Zeppelin helped me discover a part of my soul that I didn't know existed that day and I am forever thankful.
Michael Jackson...I saw him in concert in Birmingham, Alabama in 1979...just WOW! I went back and watched videos from early 80’s...still better than today!!! He should be remembered for the gift he had...not what people thought they knew about him!!! Didn’t notice the MJ sound but yeah!!!
I always say that. Listen to the work not the stories about an artist’s personal life. When you watch Casablanca you don’t let it bother you that the entire cast is dead. The two have nothing to do with each other.
I like your reactions! You interrupt very little, listen to the music and words, and have great comments. Keep it up. Led Zeppelin, BEST EVER. Get the LED out!!!
I never thought that I would enjoy watching people react to music but watching you brings back memories of the first time I heard these songs. You seem like such a cool dude too. Keep them coming. I’d love to see a reaction to White Zombie’s Thunder Kiss ‘65!
I am from the "in between" generation, born in 67. Fortunately I had older sisters and a brother, so I grown up in the 70ties with all that great music, late sixties and seventies. Beeing a teenager in the 80ties I always had my record colletion with 80% of that golden age. Led Zeppelin, Queen, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Rush, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Roxy Music, etc. It was an amazing period, and I am glad I literally from Baby to teenager grown up with this music. The only thing I miss is that I was too young to visit live concerts in the 70ties, my first real concert was in 1982, Rolling Stones just starting when Led Zeppelin was not there anymore. The eighties where not that bad, its only that the golden seventies seems to overshine anything that came after it.
LED ZEP. Were born out of American BLUES. Thank you USA.saw LED ZEP in PERTH in73 I was 33years old and still loving this music till the day I die....🌏😎😎😎 FROM AUSTRALIA.....
I love how much Led Zep moves you. I get the Billie-Jean ref; it's something to do with the way the drum and bass combines to produce a wave that somehow cracks right through your soul like a tsunami.
@@Republic3D check out A Perfect Circle- When the leeve breaks Live at red rocks, If you haven't heard that performance. Different from the original. Maynard and Billy made sang it their own way. It would be cool if Tool did another Zeppelin cover.
When the music is strong the weed doesn’t need to be as potent. When the music sucks you need the good shit to be able to tolerate the crappy music. That said there’s still good music out there it’s just not marketed like the bubble gum pop and trap music.
I (as a newly turned 40 yr old lifetime bass player ughh) Fucking agree! Weeds great but nothing feels like that pocket when you find it playing... Need better music man...fucking Internet.....lol
I'm 69 years old,I grew up with this music,and my Motown. I'm happy see a lot of Aferican amecian people like this type of music.Love your channel bro.keep up the good work👍🤘
No band has ever matched or will ever match Led Zeppelin. They took the playbook, ripped it up and changed music forever. Bonzo is my hero and is the greatest rock drummer to ever grace the earth
Facts. We got high, rode around in the country and jammed. That’s it. To the best music, it turns out, to ever be made! Born 1962... lived it, loved it! Peace ✌🏻
The further you go into it you will see how one thing feeds another. Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass makes Rock N Roll which makes Heavy Rock, Punk and pure metal so you can say Robert Johnson made Elvis and Buddy Holly who makes the Beatles who pushed Zeppelin and so on. It all bleeds into making new music so if I listen to new music today I can tell who has been created and who has listened and learned from what has came before. There is good music out there but unfortunately record companies and the mainstream won't push it so you have to search hard for it.
There's only one guitarist in Led Zeppelin - Jimmy Page. They were a fan of over-dubbing guitar tracks to get that smooth harmonizing effect that you hear in the 2nd verse. It sounds incredible. Black Dog and The Immigrant Song are my two favourite songs by Zep, because I feel that they don't overstay their welcome. Kashmir, Over The Hills and Far Away, When The Levee Breaks, Achilles Last Stand are great songs, but they tend to get a tiring after a while.
i heard this riff when it came out in 71. I was 12. Been playing guitar ever since. 52 years later still play it just about everyday. Jimi gets the feedback on cue 11 oh oh oh ohhhhhhh111
Lightning struck 4 times in one place. Best band ever. I'm 59, and grew up listening to them. I have every Zeppelin album, on vinyl of course! I have also done the Zeppathon many times, and will continue to do so. “The Zeppathon is when you sit your ass down and listen to all nine Zep albums in a row." - Jack Black
I saw Robert Plant in 2003 (I think) in Denver and he sounded fantastic! His voice was amazing and at the time.....I'd say it was as good as it ever was in the 1970's! You have to keep in mind one thing with Plant and Zeppelin......even when he laid his vocal tracks down, at that very moment, often he was singing on the very edge of his abilities. Realizing this, I understand how nuts that really is because he then has to do it night after night, year after year as long as you tour or have a career. So to see Robert cranking this stuff out and doing a high quality job of it was quite special for me as I wasn't old enough to have seen Led Zep when they were together.
@@jamelakajamal Great channel man, I'm feelin your enthusiasm and love for the music, so cool. Listen to "Houses of the Holy", it stands on its own as a Zeppelin masterpiece, but it's a bit different, kinda deeper or ethereal. Cheers my friend.
I really enjoy seeing people today getting down to the music of my generation! The vets of WWII were known as "the greatest generation" but the bands of the 1970's were the greatest bands !!!
Thank you. We did have great music back then. The golden era of rock and roll. So musical back then. I also had the fortune of hearing Motown played on my rock and roll station. Loved that music too
You, my friend, unlike all the other reviewers get it. You are openmindendly and musically diversified. YOU GET IT. And YES ! We had the best music available to the peoples of ALL TIME! Much love! 💕
A great memory from my youth: cruising with the buds, feeling most excellent. The driver suddenly calls out "Bet the guitars!!" Without pause, he then sings out at the top of his lungs "HEY HEY BABY, THE WAY YOU MOVE..." and we all were so in synch, we immediately all did our best to mimic the opening crescendo of guitars with our voices. Wonderful moment.
Check out Jack Black at the Kennedy Center Honors introducing Led Zeppelin. It's a very cool summary and display of their greatness. Cheers to you and thanks for the great reactions :)
a tricky complex song Plant's vocal parts are straight 4/4 time. When the band kicks in the drums just continue to play in 4/4 while the guitar and bass riffage is in 5/4 time. That's what gives it that stumbling feel. -pure genius grove
As I observed elsewhere, the Zeppelin based a lot of their early work on the blues. I suspect that's why so many 1960s and 1970s artists were so different from today. These days rappers listen to other rappers, metalheads only listen to metal groups, country fans only listen to country, and so on. Back then those guys listened to everything from blues, to classical, to whatever else you can think of. For example, both the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel said the Everly Brothers were a big influence. Heck, they were _inventing_ rock'n'roll back then, so they _had_ to listen to other stuff. We would probably have better music today if more performers widened their playlist.
We did have great music “back in our day”, 1960-1980. Wouldn’t trade our music or our time for anything. Smoke a little weed, drink some Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill Wine and go to the high school dance. Best times ever with my friends but we had to act sober to get past the chaperones at the door. Led Zeppelin was always blasting where ever we went.
For a little twist, check out Dread Zeppelin! Zepp covers the with a reggae beat & an Elvis sound alike lead singer! I've seen Robert Plant wearing their tshirt!
Yep,...we were lucky to live through this music in real time, there was so much great music in the 70s that we just took it for granted. Miss those dayz.!!
As great as their earlier stuff was, Zeppelin's last album together, In Through the Out Door, was pretty great too. Try In the Evening, or Fool in the Rain. Impressively complicated rock & roll.
Late 70s I was in college. A friend of a friend had a poker game every Thursday night and all he would play was LED Zeppelin. He forbid any other band being played on this night even though he had other albums. He had every Zeppelin album at the time. Memories.
The 70s ruled. Many of us lost our virginity to a Zep song. We did have some great music back in the day. I want to see a reaction video to Dancin' Days.
Best rock band of all time. They changed music. If you have not done so yet I would suggest watching Led Zeppelin playing Moby Dick live in concert making sure it is the 15 minute song we’re you can see one of the greatest drum solos of all time. It blew my mind seeing it for the first time.
Led Zeppelin was the greatest rock band of all time...hands down!!
Led Zep, the perfect fusion of rythm & blue and rock & roll...Will be played 400 years from now...
Makes me happy seeing younger people discovering Led Zep.
My mother raised me on Led Zeppelin and as a young child I apparently was so offended that a friend did not recognize a song that I argued and then cried. This would have been when I was about four years old and I have no memory.

They didn’t steal all that much. 95%of their stuff is original. And yes I’ve looked into it extensively.
@@YHWHthegreatIAM 95%? Are you shitting me?
Michael Jackson...I saw him in concert in Birmingham, Alabama in 1979...just WOW!
I went back and watched videos from early 80’s...still better than today!!! He should be remembered for the gift he had...not what people thought they knew about him!!!
Didn’t notice the MJ sound but yeah!!!
I always say that. Listen to the work not the stories about an artist’s personal life.
When you watch Casablanca you don’t let it bother you that the entire cast is dead.
The two have nothing to do with each other.
I love seeing the looks on your face when you hear and get into the music. Glad you are opening your mind and ears to all that good music!
After 50+ years....Zeppelin's music can still destroy most contemporary bands. 🤘🎸🔥
Another one of this album is Misty mountain Hop
Amor odio Amor love that song.
Mothership is the greatest hit album. This song came from Led Zeppelin IV; a.k.a. the unofficial greatest hit album. :P
My personal favorite. Naah cant pick a fav.
Good one!
Love Misty mountain hop
It's hard to find a bad Led Zeppelin song.
TOTALLY TRUE
I didn't know there was one! Lol 😂
@@dianahayes7640 dyer maker
Don Surlylyte D’yer Mak’er is one of my favorites
"The Crunge" is by far the worst.
I like your reactions! You interrupt very little, listen to the music and words, and have great comments. Keep it up. Led Zeppelin, BEST EVER. Get the LED out!!!
1971--Greatest Year in Rock and Roll History. Zeppelin "Led" the way with LZ IV.
I never thought that I would enjoy watching people react to music but watching you brings back memories of the first time I heard these songs. You seem like such a cool dude too. Keep them coming. I’d love to see a reaction to White Zombie’s Thunder Kiss ‘65!
Hell yes!! 🤟
Jimmy Page one of the greatest guitarists.
As far as I'm concerned he's like a living Jimi Hendrix.. Theres no one out there that has done more innovative hard rock & blues than Led Zep
Is*
Hendrix invented stuff, Gilmour made people cry but no one was ever close to Jimmy Page
I am from the "in between" generation, born in 67. Fortunately I had older sisters and a brother, so I grown up in the 70ties with all that great music, late sixties and seventies. Beeing a teenager in the 80ties I always had my record colletion with 80% of that golden age. Led Zeppelin, Queen, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Rush, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Roxy Music, etc. It was an amazing period, and I am glad I literally from Baby to teenager grown up with this music. The only thing I miss is that I was too young to visit live concerts in the 70ties, my first real concert was in 1982, Rolling Stones just starting when Led Zeppelin was not there anymore. The eighties where not that bad, its only that the golden seventies seems to overshine anything that came after it.
LED ZEP. Were born out of American BLUES. Thank you USA.saw LED ZEP in PERTH in73 I was 33years old and still loving this music till the day I die....🌏😎😎😎 FROM AUSTRALIA.....
I love how much Led Zep moves you. I get the Billie-Jean ref; it's something to do with the way the drum and bass combines to produce a wave that somehow cracks right through your soul like a tsunami.
Zepplin released their first album when I was a freshman in high school. It was a golden age. So much talent back then. I enjoy your videos young man.
Led Zeppelin- funky, powerful, Bonzo!, cool, heavy, Bonzo!, creative, soulful, Bonzo! Need I say more? Nothing like them nowadays.
Never get tired of hearing Led Zeppelin ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🎶🇦🇺👣🦋🦘🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹
Looks like you're a Led Zeppelin fan for life. Please react to No Quarter by Led Zeppelin
✌😎💨🎵☁🎶☁
And the cover by Tool. Would be awesome with a reaction to both.
@@Republic3D possibly the best Zeppelin cover. Love Tool seen them 3 times
@@motorcitymaniac167 Agreed! One of the best covers made of any song imho.
I second that motion!
@@Republic3D check out A Perfect Circle- When the leeve breaks Live at red rocks, If you haven't heard that performance. Different from the original. Maynard and Billy made sang it their own way. It would be cool if Tool did another Zeppelin cover.
Strong music, weak weed
The music got weaker, but the weed got stronger
WE NEED TO FIND A BALANCE!
Samurai Jacques Thats why heavy stoner metal bands came around, stuff like Acid Bath, Sleep, and Electric Wizard!
Yeah sometimes I despair that the good music magic got worn out.
At least we got the weed though😌
When the music is strong the weed doesn’t need to be as potent. When the music sucks you need the good shit to be able to tolerate the crappy music. That said there’s still good music out there it’s just not marketed like the bubble gum pop and trap music.
I (as a newly turned 40 yr old lifetime bass player ughh) Fucking agree! Weeds great but nothing feels like that pocket when you find it playing... Need better music man...fucking Internet.....lol
Yeah we got the weed and hash during the Vietnam war. It was pure magic.
This is my black Pitbull's favorite LZ song. I wonder why? He's ready to scratch when he hears this tune!
Older brother play this in 1970 when I was 7yrs old, said "WOW!!!???" Been hooked ever since.
I'm 69 years old,I grew up with this music,and my Motown. I'm happy see a lot of Aferican amecian people like this type of music.Love your channel bro.keep up the good work👍🤘
Love your emotion. Please listen to Kashmir and The Ocean! (studio version)
Ditto on "The Ocean"
In the middle of the song you can hear a telephone ringing.
No band has ever matched or will ever match Led Zeppelin. They took the playbook, ripped it up and changed music forever. Bonzo is my hero and is the greatest rock drummer to ever grace the earth
Facts. We got high, rode around in the country and jammed. That’s it. To the best music, it turns out, to ever be made! Born 1962... lived it, loved it! Peace ✌🏻
The further you go into it you will see how one thing feeds another. Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass makes Rock N Roll which makes Heavy Rock, Punk and pure metal so you can say Robert Johnson made Elvis and Buddy Holly who makes the Beatles who pushed Zeppelin and so on. It all bleeds into making new music so if I listen to new music today I can tell who has been created and who has listened and learned from what has came before. There is good music out there but unfortunately record companies and the mainstream won't push it so you have to search hard for it.
Eck T RIGHT! It’s all blues...all of it!!!
There's only one guitarist in Led Zeppelin - Jimmy Page. They were a fan of over-dubbing guitar tracks to get that smooth harmonizing effect that you hear in the 2nd verse. It sounds incredible. Black Dog and The Immigrant Song are my two favourite songs by Zep, because I feel that they don't overstay their welcome. Kashmir, Over The Hills and Far Away, When The Levee Breaks, Achilles Last Stand are great songs, but they tend to get a tiring after a while.
i heard this riff when it came out in 71. I was 12. Been playing guitar ever since. 52 years later still play it just about everyday. Jimi gets the feedback on cue 11 oh oh oh ohhhhhhh111
Led Zepplin is rock that just drips with grungy blues. You can't go wrong with that.
Like Jimmy Page once told me, "we both put our pants on the same way!"
You gotta do Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
Then you need to do Got a Little Woman and She Won't be True followed by Ramble On.
Whole lotta love is possibly the hardest hitting rock song. Zeppelin doesn't follow a musical formula. They Jam as one.
I have the 4 symbols tattooed on my arm as one.
Whole Lotta Love... Another John Lee Hooker Tribute song
He has done it now
Over the hills and far away is a very underrated Led Zeppelin song
Lightning struck 4 times in one place. Best band ever. I'm 59, and grew up listening to them. I have every Zeppelin album, on vinyl of course! I have also done the Zeppathon many times, and will continue to do so. “The Zeppathon is when you sit your ass down and listen to all nine Zep albums in a row." - Jack Black
Probably my favorite Zeppelin song. If you want something softer try"going to California" by them. Excellent thanks for the LED for head. ☮️
Or Rain Song
You would love Led Zeppelin's Trampled Under Foot, It make you move.
Bought my first Led Zeppelin album after hearing this song in the radio. Ended up buying every one over time.
I saw Robert Plant in 2003 (I think) in Denver and he sounded fantastic! His voice was amazing and at the time.....I'd say it was as good as it ever was in the 1970's! You have to keep in mind one thing with Plant and Zeppelin......even when he laid his vocal tracks down, at that very moment, often he was singing on the very edge of his abilities. Realizing this, I understand how nuts that really is because he then has to do it night after night, year after year as long as you tour or have a career. So to see Robert cranking this stuff out and doing a high quality job of it was quite special for me as I wasn't old enough to have seen Led Zep when they were together.
"how could you not groove?" well said!
You're killin it today!
One more👍🏾
@@jamelakajamal Great channel man, I'm feelin your enthusiasm and love for the music, so cool.
Listen to "Houses of the Holy", it stands on its own as a Zeppelin masterpiece, but it's a bit different, kinda deeper or ethereal.
Cheers my friend.
I really enjoy seeing people today getting down to the music of my generation! The vets of WWII were known as "the greatest generation" but the bands of the 1970's were the greatest bands !!!
This is what I played getting ready for work after about three hours of sleep. Got my blood pumping!
Thank you. We did have great music back then. The golden era of rock and roll. So musical back then.
I also had the fortune of hearing Motown played on my rock and roll station. Loved that music too
We had everything then,rock country, folk,acid,bubble gum,Motown raggae
You, my friend, unlike all the other reviewers get it. You are openmindendly and musically diversified. YOU GET IT. And YES ! We had the best music available to the peoples of ALL TIME! Much love! 💕
A great memory from my youth: cruising with the buds, feeling most excellent. The driver suddenly calls out "Bet the guitars!!" Without pause, he then sings out at the top of his lungs "HEY HEY BABY, THE WAY YOU MOVE..." and we all were so in synch, we immediately all did our best to mimic the opening crescendo of guitars with our voices. Wonderful moment.
Bonham's drums make it all work...other worldly.
Check out Jack Black at the Kennedy Center Honors introducing Led Zeppelin. It's a very cool summary and display of their greatness. Cheers to you and thanks for the great reactions :)
Thank You🙏🏾
@@jamelakajamal Check out Heart's cover of Stairway at the same event. WOW!!!
@@thatdamnjack I swear to God I my eyes got misty watching that performance.
@@tjraven I'm not a fan of anyone doing covers of the Might Zep but I think we all approve of that one.
Oops Mighty Zep
Love watching your reactions to Led Zepplin.
And yes we had some great music !!!
a tricky complex song Plant's vocal parts are straight 4/4 time. When the band kicks in the drums just continue to play in 4/4 while the guitar and bass riffage is in 5/4 time. That's what gives it that stumbling feel. -pure genius grove
Black Dog is the opening track of Led Zeppelin IV! Kicks ass for 1971!!!!
Do Ramble on!!!
i would love to but i dropped my bloody teeth under the fridge and i can barely get a sylable out that dont sound like complete doo doo
Loved the bass line on this song. I always wished they would have had more bass solos in their songs
Yes we did grow up with GREAT music. It is truly missed. Keep rocking man.
As I observed elsewhere, the Zeppelin based a lot of their early work on the blues. I suspect that's why so many 1960s and 1970s artists were so different from today. These days rappers listen to other rappers, metalheads only listen to metal groups, country fans only listen to country, and so on. Back then those guys listened to everything from blues, to classical, to whatever else you can think of. For example, both the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel said the Everly Brothers were a big influence. Heck, they were _inventing_ rock'n'roll back then, so they _had_ to listen to other stuff.
We would probably have better music today if more performers widened their playlist.
We did have great music “back in our day”, 1960-1980. Wouldn’t trade our music or our time for anything. Smoke a little weed, drink some Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill Wine and go to the high school dance. Best times ever with my friends but we had to act sober to get past the chaperones at the door. Led Zeppelin was always blasting where ever we went.
For a little twist, check out Dread Zeppelin! Zepp covers the with a reggae beat & an Elvis sound alike lead singer! I've seen Robert Plant wearing their tshirt!
Funny, saw them in Austin back in the day.
OMG. I just checked them out. They are so funny.
Notice the bass and the lead guitar play the same riff over each other. Adds a lot of dimension to the sound.
This came out in 1971. How many of todays "hits" will sound this amazing nearly 50 years after they came out? Don't bet on too many!
Yep,...we were lucky to live through this music in real time, there was so much great music in the 70s that we just took it for granted.
Miss those dayz.!!
As great as their earlier stuff was, Zeppelin's last album together, In Through the Out Door, was pretty great too. Try In the Evening, or Fool in the Rain. Impressively complicated rock & roll.
I love Zeppelin, I love In The Evening. Can't stand Fool in the Rain 😆
In thru the our door is my fav Zep album,70's was an amazing time🖒
I told you Led Zepplin was awesome!
Late 70s I was in college. A friend of a friend had a poker game every Thursday night and all he would play was LED Zeppelin. He forbid any other band being played on this night even though he had other albums. He had every Zeppelin album at the time. Memories.
One of the greatest tunes, EVER!!!
Ebay prices for Led Zeppelin NM first press LP Vinyl tell the tale of popularity.
Listen to in my time of dying by led zeppelin you will not be disappointed cheers love the reactions from Scotland
That is such a powerful pice if work! And so precise!
That voice...those drums...💜
The 70s ruled. Many of us lost our virginity to a Zep song. We did have some great music back in the day. I want to see a reaction video to Dancin' Days.
Best rock band of all time. They changed music. If you have not done so yet I would suggest watching Led Zeppelin playing Moby Dick live in concert making sure it is the 15 minute song we’re you can see one of the greatest drum solos of all time. It blew my mind seeing it for the first time.
