Even more shocking, it that this is their second best album…of 1969. In fact Zeppelin has more RIAA platinum certified albums released in the 1960s than The Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, and Jefferson Airplane… combined. Pretty good for a band not considered a 60s band.
Jimmy page & Robert plants early influences were black Mississippi delta blues artists of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Alot of Zeppelin songs are just juiced up versions of old blues standards. I like this full album reaction format, I hope you continue this way for the rest of the catalog.
You Shook Me is one of my favorite studio songs, it shows what all they can do, with the keyboard harmonica & guitar solos & the drums & of course amazing vocals. What also is amazing, they were only together about 2 months, when they recorded this album in 4 days & a total of 35 hours. Lead guitarist Jimmy Page founded the band produced mixed & edited all their albums. Dazed & Confused Page plays his guitar with a violin bow, in the middle. These geniuses were amazing playing the blues, well all genres.
'Communication Breakdown' is like punk music before it was invented. Led Zeppelin weren't into releasing singles as that would have confined their style and the length of their songs to 3 minutes. However their record company did release a few of their songs as singles in the USA. I can't remember which was first. it might have been 'Good Times, Bad Times'.
There is no substitute for hearing this album in its entirety- great reaction. The harmonica is played by Robert Plant another of his super powers!! The organ is played by John Paul Jones - his early career included playing organ in church. That fantastic element crops up in songs as you go through the catalogue and its is always outstanding . Plant and Page duet with each other between vocals and guitar on stage especially during blues numbers. You might like to watch the live version of I can't quit you babe live at Royal Albert Hall 1970 which is amazing and will give you area idea of how the band interacts. To understand the sounds that you were interested in from Dazed and Confused you need to watch a live version with Jimmy Page using a violin bow on his guitar- there is a london 1969 version , also the Albert Hall concert from 1970. The most revered version which is 30 minutes long is from MSG 1973 and is from the feature film they made " the song remains the same" This has been taken down of you tube at the moment but you can get hold of the film and see it there . They were extroadinarily experimental. Plant had a particular liking for Robert Johnson out of the blues guys but also early Elvis . Jimmy Page was the producer and has done all the remastering since. Led Zeppelin 2 is the next album......
Led Zep I is probably their best album, but of course that is up for a lot of debate. The first listen is a shock to your senses, but on repeated relistens it just gets better. Let it sink in every fiber of your being and let it marinate. Who needs drugs and alcohol when you can listen to this. It ebbs and flows like foreplay, culminating in huge eargasms. A true delight!
It is great to see you young guys discovering these great bands. LZ was not known for their singles. The critics also tended to hate them. Despite the lack of radio play and being panned, they sold lots of albums and could be an astounding live act. My first brush with Zep was hearing 'Whole Lotta Love' on the way home from school. It actually made it to the radio. We were transfixed. It was a new sound, unique. But I didn't really become a fan until a friend sat me down to listen to their third album. I hadn't heard a collection of tracks that varied so greatly and were all still great since the Beatles. Naturally, I now have all of their albums. If this is your first brush with Zep, you are in for quite a ride. I envy you being able to hear these for the first time.
I believe “Good Times Bad Times” was a single. They released very few singles. The first song from their third album, “Immigrant Song” was a single, and the b side was “Hey Hey What Can I Do?” Wasn’t on an album until a compilation album later. It’s such a great song. They believed in an album experience, and FM was playing half or whole albums at the time. You’ll find a lot of long songs by Zeppelin in keeping with their album beliefs. Their most famous song “Stairway to Heaven “ wasn’t a single. These guys were heavily influenced by Delta and Chicago (electrified) Blues.
Look for the black and white footage of early Zep 1969 on UA-cam. Its fantastic. Just think, Plant and Bonham had just become old enough to go in a bar on their first American tour.
I like your style !you have a great ear for quality and arrangements, Zeppelin was the masters of that and of course the musicianship and vocals yes,heavy acid rock blues Robert the singer played the harmonica and his voice was almost scary ,haunting!I heard them at ten and just wanted more!!!!I commend you for listening to a full album !!!they are all great and the songs flow into each other beautifully ,in the 70salbums were the thing so you have to listen to albums of this genre
That's Robert on harmonica (the singer) and yes he kills it on harmonica! Him and the drummer John Bonham were both 20 years old when they recorded this album!!!!
many many got this one when whole lotta love and heartbteaker /livin lovin maid burst on to the radio there was no real single from the first album it was rare progressive stations only the second album is just as groundbreaking as it is ridiculous in legendary innovations and it is revered from start to end i was struck from the moment i heard the first album because a sttion anfm station i think from chicago played dazed and confused and that was enough for me to get the album immediately isaw them in 75 and then in 77 and thenn page and plant 4 times in the 90's had every album as they came out LEGENDARY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!!!!!
The noise you hear around the 4:00 minute mark is Robert Plants vocals bleeding over. It was after all 1969 recording equipment. Even with all the modern technology in the recording industry those albums still sound amazing.
Zep is a blues band. They grew up listening to Mississippi Delta Blues. Your grandma probably listened to the same thing. Then rock n roll came around. This is the baby.
This music is like sex - if it's good the first time it just gets better! My brain knows every note of this album and it still sounds great every time. I was 9 when my big bro put this album on his turntable the first time in 1970. Enjoy this journey! 🥰🎶🎶
Such a good reaction!! Thanks - it's cool you picked up on the influences in the first album. That continues to expand over the album releases and concerts from 1968 when this was recorded until 1980 when the band disbanded due to the death of their drummer. There are a lot of good bands out there - a few great bands - and even fewer exceptional bands - BUT There is nothing like Led Zeppelin. 4 master craftsmen starting out at the top of the pack. So glad you did the full album. The only way to truly appreciate the scope and impact of Led Zep is to do the studio albums in order. . . and then there are filmed concerts and bootlegged concerts - Led Zep live takes the studio album numbers to a whole different level. Hope you continue down the rabbit hole.
I grew up with Led Zeppelin, I still listen and appreciate there music to-day, this album was out during the Beatles era and the Hollies, softer styles, so even in its day it was quite the departure from the musical norm, as it is today.
Thanks... this was great... they are renowned for their perfection of blues music... among other things.. Jimmy produced all their music... he is a musical geniuses...
Hooray! Now it’s time for a drink & a snack, nom, nom, nom. I first heard them on the radio, but I don’t remember the song. I’d like to recommend The Doors’ first album: The Doors. Cheers!
Hahaha thank you. It creeped me out for a minute. I was the only one home and we haven’t been on this house too long. I was thinking “please don’t be haunted” Thank you for commenting that
@@dadwhatsfordinner In case there's still a question about that part - that's Robert singing "I can hear it calling me.." Page just took one of Robert's other takes and quietly dropped it in as a tease-line. Cool reaction btw. You're going to have a fun journey.
What's telling about the talent, and cohesiveness of these young lads at that time. Is the reality of how short a time they had been playing together, before going into the studio for this. Jimmy producing and mixing. The few hours spent in the studio recording this, is mind-blowing. And un heard of. Just spent a few minutes researching it.
@@rickhill56 36 hours to record this first album! Amazing isn't it and each album is as good as/better than this. They are without doubt the greatest band ever.
Jimmy Page produced all of their albums!! And Robert on the harmonica! JPJ on the keys! In Dazed And Confused Jimmy plays the guitar with a violin bow!
there are, my young friend some albums for the ages -you just heard one here are some more -i lived this era grew up in it Abbey road =the beatles who's next =the who dark side of the moon =pink floyd sticky fingers =the rolling stones led zeppelin 2 , 3, 4, houses of the holy and physical graffiti let it be =the beatles exile on main street =the rolling stones aqualung =jethro tull wish you were here =pink floyd ETC....can not go wrong with any of the above my friend it is a treasure that once heard you will never be the same literally i promise based on your reaction to led zep one
Led Zeppelin II next and then III ..... and so on lol. Love that you prefer albums to singles, it's how I prefer to listen to music too. Subbed & liked 👍
This album is classic and one of the roots of all rock music that came after. Although Zep had not really found their own sound yet, which culminated in one of the greatest rock and roll masterpieces of all time. Led Zeppelin 4 or Zoso or Untitled or whatever that thing is called.
The definition of 'Rock Gods' is Led Zeppelin. When this band first formed, someone said that they would fly like a "lead" zeppelin. That's how they got their name. Man, I'm gonna have to break out my vinyl record of this now.
Howdy loving the zep✔️🎵dig your vibe serious : next up : PFloyd Great Gig In The Sky ( original studio ) It’s about dying, it takes you through the phases of it. Most intense thing so buckle up and if possible do not pause before it breaks down for the last part ✔️🎵
One word you used to describe the music was "epic" and you could not be more right, the GOATs...suscribed! Jimmy Page who produced every Led Zeppelin album is the God of guitarist
Diggity dang, this is awesome! This album, Black Sabbath's (Black Sabbath), Guns N Roses (Appetite for Destruction) and Alice in Chains (Facelift) are some of my favorite debut albums. Well done Sir. 🤙
Tight but loose. Heavy but light. Rock gods at living on top of the mountain. I always liked Led Zeppelin III, But Led Zeppelin II (the brown bomber) probably should be next as others have suggested. I think Led Zeppelin IV sold the most. But I always liked the 3rd and the 1st album best.
Yes very bluesy, blues-rock we said. Another tenant of the genre is Free (who were later produced par Led Zep's company). I was 13 when I first heard Led Zep in 1971. Immigrant Song made it through the french radio. And I was just amazed that such power could be delivered through music by human beings (were they really human ?). I stayed a fan of Led Zep since then. They are in my top 5 bands forever (with Yes, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, Malicorne and Redbone, which makes 6 😀)
jimmy Page (the guitar player) self-financed the recording of the album BEFORE a record contract was signed with Atlantic. Because the album was recorded already, and because Jimmy Page had such a great reputation already in the music industry, Jimmy played hardball with Atlantic for CREATIVE CONTROL of the band in their contract: singles, record cover art, concert venues, everything. Jimmy negotiated total artistic control for the band, which gave Zeppelin more freedom than any other band, before or since.
I think LED Zeppelin II is better. It was also recorded in 1969 while they toured the US. You will really appreciate Joh Paul Jones’ bass work on album 2.
@@mauricestevenson5740 The 4th has no name at all but people refer to it by various names. That was a deliberate move by Jimmy Page because he was fed up of all the negative comments from music journalists to their previous 3.
O my gosh! You did Zeppelin! LET'S GOOOOOO! You did RATM and Zepp back to back! Living large! Enjoy the ride. I think zeppelin put out 90 ish songs and 10/10 half of them. I think they nailed their first 5 albums.
Correct this if its wrong, but back then, especially an unestablished band, they would record takes over a previous take. And because of the limited technology it would bleed through. In the case of "Whole Lotta Love" it was left in for psychedelic effect. But in this case my guess is that it has come to the surface due to remastering and modern technology bringing out finer sound quality. Again, there is a lot of educated guess here on my part, so maybe any production guys could clear that up more.
May I Suggest, RUSH Exit stage left live. it will BLOW U AWAY!!!!! Ted Nugent Double live Gonzo. And Journey Captured live ;) So Many Bands, So Little Time............. Peace D ;)
"...from beginning to end." That's how Jimmy Page structured each album. In fact, the band did not believe in singles. They felt the album was, in itself, something to be experienced, from beginning to end. So their edit and ordering was very intentional. Each song setup the other. Combined, they represent a whole experience. Their position on this subject was, initially, an issue for Atlantic Records. But Led Zeppelin prevailed.
@dadwhatsfordinner what you're calling drum rolls in "Good Times, Bad Times" are the late John Bonham's legacy on his instrument. Ask any decent drummer to play "Bonham Triplets" if they are well studied, they'll know exactly what you want and can play them.
Imagine...this is their debut album!! We were all pleasantly shocked!! Greatest band ever! On to Zeppelin II!!!
Even more shocking, it that this is their second best album…of 1969. In fact Zeppelin has more RIAA platinum certified albums released in the 1960s than The Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, and Jefferson Airplane… combined. Pretty good for a band not considered a 60s band.
When I saw them in the summer of '69 they played the whole first Album and most of the as yet unrealeased second album! BLEW US AWAY! 🤣
You lucky sonuvagun! 👍👍👍
I bumped into Robert Plant 🪴 of Led Zeppelin back in February of 2016! he was out shopping 🛍! chatted with him and shook his hand ✋️
C '23
R.I.P John Bonham :( ...... And God Bless Jason Bonham for following in his Dads Drum Sticks ;) \m/
Yeah!! Love the reaction. I would love to see you react to Zeppelin II. You won't be disappointed

Yep my man, you got it. Blues/rock fusion was BIG in the late 60's early 70's & these guys were the GOAT!
Pay attention to the Drummer and Bass, BEST Rhythm section EVER!!! Peace :)
Excellent idea. Critics and parents HATED them. Kids like me worshipped them.
GOAT.

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Go through the Zeppelin albums in order, please... please.
Yes please go through their catalog you won't be disappointed❤
Much hip hop beat comes from all classic rock!!!!!!!
Forget best rock debut - this is squarely in the all time greatest period conversation.

Take note they're all around their early 20's - they'd met 4 weeks before the album was recorded and took - a mere 30 hours to record . . .
Their musical influences were American black blues, mississipi blues etc

7:16, That’s Robert screaming “I can hear it calling me” faintly in the background for a reverse echo effect. They use this in a few songs
The English bands back in the 60s and 70s were obviously influenced by American blues by the old blues artists
Great way to start dad. Now that's your dinner. Want dessert go on to zepp 11. Great job.
you need to do the 1st Black Sabbath album Black Sabbath
Zeppelin did a lot of Blues/Rock. If you watch some of their early performances the Blues really shine through.
You Shook Me was written by Willie Dixon. Recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962
Tight but loose. Heavy but light. Rock gods at living on top of the mountain. I always liked Led Zeppelin III, But Led Zeppelin II (the brown bomber) probably should be next as others have suggested. I think Led Zeppelin IV sold the most. But I always liked the 3rd and the 1st album best.
THIS album was recorded in 30 hours 15 record time 15 for jimmy to mix it

Their second third and fourth albums are great also. This album was a lifesaver for me back in 1969.
Best is still Physical Grafitti
“Here it comes, you know it’s about to hit!” Yep, and Google knew it was coming too!😎😝

I think LED Zeppelin II is better. It was also recorded in 1969 while they toured the US. You will really appreciate Joh Paul Jones’ bass work on album 2.
the drums are outstanding
Rock comes from blues :)
They were so young when they recorded this. Must have old souls..
Next full album to listen to ? Led Zeppelin II. They don't really have a bad album.
After that, Led Zeppelin III. Then their 4th (which does not have a pronounceable name). And they made a few more after that. Enjoy the ride.

51:40 out comes the bow again
Robert Plant is the harmonica player, as well as the lead singer.
O my gosh! You did Zeppelin! LET'S GOOOOOO! You did RATM and Zepp back to back! Living large! Enjoy the ride. I think zeppelin put out 90 ish songs and 10/10 half of them. I think they nailed their first 5 albums.

At about 25:00 Page starts using a violin bow on his guitar to get that sound you remarked on.

Jimmy Page did all of their production. He's a master producer in my opinion.
Yeah... they're pretty good. They may amount to something
