I'm 60 now and grew up with led zeppelin, out all of their albums I have never heard a bad song! Keep showing the younger generations the greatest music ever ❤
Fun Fact: This song is called "Black Dog" because they were having trouble coming up with a name for the song when they recorded it and at that time a stray black dog was wandering around the studio. They said that if they didn't come up with a name soon they'd just call the song "Black Dog". Also, can you imagine what a cool place 1970s London and the music scene must have been! Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, etc., what a time to be alive.
The 70’s was such a blast. 16 in 1970,I saw Hendrix’s last live performance at the legendary Isle of Wight festival 1970 (our Woodstock) and finished the 70’s seeing these boys for the fourth time at Knebworth in England. It was a decade long party and the gigs and concerts (at affordable ticket prices) were lifetime experiences. You would have fitted right into that vibe I think Aileen.
Yes, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, one of the most underrated rhythm sections, ever, honed their craft with John. The list of people who played with John is mind blowing, those influenced by him is endless. I saw him in the 70s, blew us away! Also Paul Butterfield around that time. Great times!
9:03: He's not just the guitarist. He is the main writer of the band's music, he is the musical producer of the band, and above all, it's HIS band, it might as well have been called "The Jimmy Page's Band".
Never forget the first time I listened to Led Zeppelin in the late 80's as a young teenager, in my room listening to Radom music chillin, and my brother comes in my bedroom we start chatting about music he says look listen to Led Zeppelin I said ik and I put on ny head phones,vand I listened to first Zeppelin tape and communications communcation brekdown cone on well man goose bumps came out from head to tie and sst on the side if my bed and I was absolutely in heaven,vmand that was it listened to thst tape over over sgain then that was it ,it was love and thats how I came addicted to the best band ever , pass this genius beautiful music onto your children, The Best Band Ever !!!
The tone change referred to, is a harmony of the melody by Page from the first verse. Also the title is from a daily visit by, an animal during production of the album. They just named the song after him.
That dog went from stray to the most known and talked about dog on the planet! I hope he knew his daily visit to listen to the humans make those cool sounds made him a legend and he strutted around a little prouder till his last day!
@@alonenjersey Yes sir, I still have it. I also have the tour book. I also had the concert t-shirt but my mother threw it away because it had a hole in it. I think I cried for a month after I found out she threw it away. The concert cost me a total of $16.50. $.8.50 for the ticket, $3 for the tshirt , and $5 for the tour book. No opening band. Zep played for about 3 hoursl
@@fatboynick4104 That's right good sir. When one paid to see Led Zeppelin, what he or she got was Led Zeppelin. 100% Rock-N-Roll. 0% B.S. Please tell me you have those items protected in plastic.
the tone change is a harmonized double on the studio album. Thanks for the blast from the past. I grew up with these guys. Iconic, heart rippin, soul shivering music like no others!
I really love your reactions ti these Zeppelin songs, that with the Stones have been the soundtrack of my life!! So glad your experiencing how good this era of rock music was!!
I've seen them live twice. The first time was a beautiful night in Maryland at the Meriweather Post Pavilion. Being a new band, they opened for the Who. They stole the show to the point that the Who's manager pulled the plug on them! We only thought it was a power failure, or we would have rioted!! After the show, I got on my motorcycle to go home and a pretty young sweetie all worked up by Robert came up to me and put her hand on my bare chest. I was 19 and wearing the denim vest popular at the time with no shirt. She put her face in mine and said "I wanna go for a ride". "Sure, Sweetheart". She swung a leg over the bike and some guy yelled "What the hell are you doing!!!" "Going for a ride" "Oh hell no you aren't!!" He grabbed her and off they went. I guess she was his date. Oh well, it was the Sixties. Easy come and easy go. Wonderful memories!!!
haha, cool little "tail" you told there! I saw quite a few shows at MPP in the early 80's! Glad to know this story happened there, and my God, Zeppelin opening up for The WHO! Holy shit whatta show!
2:27 We called it braggadocio back in the day. And fun fact: Jimmy Page got his start back in the early 1960s as a session guitarist/hired gun, playing guitar parts for the odd band who needed his services. Among others, he played the guitar on Goldfinger, a James Bond film theme song as well as artists like The Who, Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Donovan and more.
I drank some beers with this Guy in 1998 and i had no idea who this guy was! We were just talking and we found out that we have the same name! It was a brilliant night in a bar of a friend obviously of both of us! A very nice person! Some weeks after i started listening Zeppelin and until today it is one of the best bands ever!
well who knew that these bands witch I grew up listening to when I was 15 in 1976 ,still is the best ones .Zeppelin III personal fav. Thanks for the reaction nice to see and hear a younger generation loving what I did back then!👍🤘😍 Greetings and love frpm Sweden.
Yup, was at this show, last night of the tour July 29, 1973!... Now treat yourself to the studio version and hear Roberts vocals a couple years before they got roadworn
Great song, one of many, next you need to try Dazed and Confused, please do the studio original first, it will absolutely freak you out, then do the live version at MSG 1973, that is 28 minutes and the definitive live version of this legendary song. We were freaked out in 1969 by their first 2 album, other than the impact the Beatles had, they are the band that made a hard rock sound with incredible musicianship and stage presence, that many were inspired by but no one surpassed. Simply the best sounding band, for me, they, along with Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The WHO, the Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath have been in heavy rotation since they came out. You simply cannot go wrong reacting to any of those bands, the very best of classic rock. More Zeppelin, please! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
The Might ZEPP. Bonham the “beast.”Jimmy the wizard. Robert the “seducer. John Paul Jones the “ Back bone”. Beautiful reaction Aileen. Keep them coming!!! Keep Rockin’ 😀🎸🤘✌️🔥
I am enjoying your reactions very much. You have great taste; you've been choosing all of Zeppelin's hits and I'm so glad they are having a good effect on you! This is one of their most classic songs. It reminds me of when I saw John Paul Jones in concert in 2001: he played this song and I stood right in the very front right, right in front of him and I couldn't stop thinking, "Here's the bass player from Led Zeppelin playing one of their greatest songs. I'm seeing him in action! He has not lost a thing! He is one of the greats!" If you'd like a deeper cut, I recommend watching Zeppelin play "How Many More Times" during their first TV appearance in Denmark, 1969. Keep rocking!
To answer your question about the guitar tone change - yes he changes it up. On the studio version there's a guitar overdub that comes in and plays the riff in a higher pich along with the original tone. Page plays the higher pitch for a couple of bars.
I grew up with this. Zeppelin was my 2nd concert, early 1976, I was 16. They had the coolest lazer show---when nobody had laser shows. I had Led Zeppelin I, II, III, and this one IV,--actually the album doesn't have a name! For some reason I never called any of them by their first names! Robert was just "Plant", Jimmy was just "Page", Bonham was Bonham or Bonzo, later. Oh, and JPG was always "John Paul Jones". LOL. Of course guys were just "dudes" and girls were first name or "fox" in 3rd person, if so deemed. LOL Thanks for your reviews of these old songs. They bring back memories! You do a great job! Keep them coming!
Such a great reaction Aileen, you really do need to check something out from the 2007 concert at the O2 in London, such a brilliant concert by a much older LZ, you’ll be shooketh at just how damn good they are in there 60s, Kashmir being the outstanding performance of the show, other notables include Rock and Roll, No Quarter, Nobody’s Fault But Mine….great reaction again Aileen ❤️
The 70s were pretty cool. My high school years were 71-75, And middle school was radical as well. Or in the venacular, it was a groovy time to be a young person. Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin. Great music and fun times.
All these songs including Black Dog were straight-up hits. I heard Black Dog on the radio, in the 70's, every day in Detroit. Good Times Bad Times, Stairway, Whole Lotta Love, everything. Every day!
Space dress and devil horns feel like a good combination for Led Zeppelin and this song in particular. Loved the review and your energy and engagement with what you are listening to.
Aileen You are not alone on thinking tempo of the song here. Jimmy Page, guitarist is known for changing tempo on each LZ's song. After the years as a session musician, Jimmy uses his experiences on each song.
They had no title for this song so after seeing a black dog outside the studio after they recorded the song so they called Black Dog, love it. I went to two Zep concerts one in 1975 and then in 1977. I can tell you they are mesmerizing and in my opinion the greatest rock band ever. I have been to a lot of concerts and Zep top them all.
My Senior year, spring of 1977, I popped into an outdoor nighttime party and the live band they had's lead guitar player was a friend of mine from our junior high jazz band years. He let me play his Cherry Gibson SG while they took a break. I cranked up the volume and got to play Stairway to Heaven for over 100 people...I was so thrilled! Their music helped me get through high school and gave me the "thrill of living" as John Cougar would say!
Robert didnt always have his shirt open. He actually has his shirt buttoned up in the 1969 Danmark tv footage, the 1970 Royal Albert Hall footage, and in the 1979 Knebworth footage it's half closed. ✌️
I remember my drum teacher telling me that you can hear (not sure if it's only recording or live too) but at different parts when the band comes back after stops in the song, Bonham doing a slight click with his sticks as a timing thing. Had never realized it until i was told about it. Now when listen I can't help but to hear it.
More ledzeplen less goo! this is another cozy and amazing vid plus I get to watch this on my day off and I hope Arya had a blast with her gifts aswell ❤🔥
I was a teen in the 70's and saw Led Zep on their 75-76 tour at MSG and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen... and I've seen almost every major act of the 70's and 80's.
This is gonna date me a bit but I was listening to this album and I believe this song on tape in my Walkman when I was 16 at a store in Temecula CA, when I looked up and see a tall blonde figure who looked a great deal like Robert Plant but a few pounds heavier. So I coyly approached and asked "excuse me sir but you wouldn't be Robert Plant". He looked at me somewhat shocked ( I think it was because he was surprised to see a child in the 90's who knew who he was) and he said in a British accent " Why yes I am" and I popped out the tape and put it in his hand to show him. Then he said " great taste son, unfortunately I don't have a marker on me to sign it" I said " no worries it's just an honor to get to say hi and tell you how much I love your music, thank you have a great day" and that was that. Very kind man.
Hi Aileen 😊👍 Once again great reaction to Led Zeppelin's Black Dog and all the Led Zeppelin videos 😊👍 The only way to truly experience Led Zeppelin is to watch their live videos and you should find each and every song live and completely enjoy 😊👍 Jimmy Page said that when he was with The Yardbirds, they were locked into making singles but that wasn't the type of music that they were playing, though the studios were pressuring them to make singles, and they didn't want to do that. So when Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin, he told these record companies we are not going to be making singles, we make albums. So you didn't hear any singles in the 70s, everything that they produced was played on FM stations where they could play half of a whole album at once and they sold many many records by word of mouth and then also concerts by word of mouth they were huge.😊 Look forward to hearing more live reactions of Led Zeppelin from you... such a treat 😊👍 Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍
This song is actually a very big hit for Zeppelin. You still have not listened to many of their big hits yet. You do know what Robert meant by " make your honey drip" in the 3rd stanza ,right? If not, the "g" version of that is, what happens to a woman's lower part of her body, the part thats different from a man's, when she gets excited? Well, that moisture in old blues songs is often called "her honey and her body part that makes the honey, her honey pot." SOOOOOOO, if he is making her "Honey Drip........::) Plant's first band after Zeppelin broke up was even called "The Honey Drippers." Another song, "Custard Pie" has the same sort of meaning. Now, that one actually slipped by me for the longest time. LOL. Thats not the only thing you can see in Robert's tight jeans. That vest is ONLY in the MSG vids. A young girl groupie gave it to him before the concert. So it's actually a females' clothing attire. With Zeppelin, it's often about sex. LOL.
There was one where he sings something about 'squeeze my lemon' can't put my finger on it right now. As you said, this is the strong influence of American Blues, something all those early bands had.
"A young girl groupie gave it to him before the concert" When? He's wearing the same top half a year earlier during Zeppelin's tour of England in early 1973.
The tone change you are hearing....Jimmy Page has shifted from playing the original Riff to playing a "Harmony". On the original studion version it doesn't stand out as much because he played multiple tracks and the "Melody" riff is still there, but live, when the melody is gone and he's playing only "Harmony" it gives it that shifted sound. MASTERY AT WORK
Thank you for your excellent reaction, the title of the song is because at the recording studio in Wales there was a black dog who they spent time with between recording. Please keep making these videos and enjoying yourself as much as you can.
At Headley Grange, there’s a video of them hanging out there, & the black Lab is seen in it. The band lived at Headley Grange together, writing & recording songs in The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio. That’s where they got the amazing drum beat that opens for When The Levee Breaks, in the 3 story entrance to the mansion. They lived there with no heat, Led Zeppelin style of roughing it.
Well it wasn't recorded in Wales, but in England. Island Studios, where they recorded Black Dog, was in Notting Hill, London (not far from where Jimmy Page lives) and Headley Grange, where the actual black dog was, is in Hampshire (about 40 miles southwest of London). You might be thinking of the cottage Bron-yr-Aur, which is is Wales? They wrote some stuff there, but it wasn't where they recorded the songs for the album. Just saying.
@@lyndoncmp5751 they did record some at Headley Grange, & some at the studio, there’s a video of Jimmy talking about it. I know to at some point Plant & Page were at Bron-yr-Aur writing songs, I believe it was for Led Zeppelin 3. I believe that place belongs to Plants father, they didn’t have electricity, can’t remember if they also didn’t have heat or maybe water. Bonham’s open drum beat at the least, for When The Levee Breaks, was done in the entry area of Headley Grange.
@@sicotshit7068 Oh yes they certainly recorded some songs at Headley Grange, like Levee, as you said. That's where the wandering black dog was, but the actual song Black Dog was recorded at Island Studios in London by all accounts. Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but I've been to both Headley Grange in Hampshire and Bron-yr-Aur in Wales. Not inside but outside both. Very surreal. I actually heard a dog barking when I was on the lawn at Headley Grange. I backed off. I wonder if the dog was a black one? 😂. I actually live only a couple of miles from where Jimmy Page grew up in Epsom, Surrey. Been past his old house a few times, and his one in London called the Tower House. Im a huge Zeppelin fan 😊
@@lyndoncmp5751 I’m a huge fan too, for about 50 years now. I recently found out that Bonham’s wife never remarried, & still lives in their home. It’s cool you’ve been to those places, thanks for sharing that. Sadly as much as I love them, I never got to see them in concert, either to young & or no transportation. I guess watching the lives on UA-cam is as close as I’ll get, I did see the movie decades ago in the theater, & twice recently on UA-cam.
You hit it right on the nose. There is no bad Led Zeppelin song. It’s why they are considered the greatest Rock band of all time. Jimmy Page is the godfather of rock n roll guitarists. Some other songs you should add to your play list include “No Quarter”, “Ramble on”, “The Song Remains the Same” and “Moby Dick”. See if you can catch the Nod to JRR. Tolkiens “Lord of The Rings” in the lyrics to “Ramble On”!! Enjoy!!
"Black Dog" Oh yeah ! I am sure you ladies like that shirtless look. In the earlier Emerson Lake and Palmer videos Carl (The Drummer) takes off his shirt during his drum solo during ... Rondo... He said it started when on one occasion he was hot but then saw the crowd like it so he kept doing it (for a few years) . Keith Emerson often would wear a shirt that was open. But the one i bet your would like the most is this one ---->Emerson Lake and Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man (Finale Live Royal Albert Hall 1992)... his pants are riding kind of low and now he is older with hair on his chest. It's my favorite version of the song and Finale is Rondo. (Somebody in the audience takes Keith's hat while he is laying on his back playing Bach backwards.) Oh wait!!! Aren't I supposed to be talking about the song Black Dog? We really loved it way back then and still do today. IT ROCKS!!! Wishing you all the best.
yeah the most legendary band in rock history... between those guys and sabbath... just wanted to add my introduction was with thee amazing double dvd remaster thingy. which included a lot of these recordings. and then also the whole feeling of 70s england era which at the time was all post summer of love 69 basically was what kicked it off... also included other cult uk culture things like dr who, and bbc shows like the whistle stop thingy? was another one. it's still amazing to watch those past video footage to those earlier times because its so magical feelings all of how things used to be back then. we also had some uk comedy shows back then, such as steptoe & son, rising damp, err... monty python, what else? the rise and fall of reginald perrin. and quite a lot of other cool stuff. sorry i am forgetting much of it now. but as a part of british cultural things, that the music also sat within, or the lives of those famous celebrities during those times. after the beatles whatever else... things also tended to last a bit longer back then. with society changing less rapidly year on year. the drummer (bonham)'s son learned to drum like his lost dad, and then played gigs with the rest of the original zepplin for a while. as a reunion type of things... jimmy paige the guitarist opened during the london olympics whenever that happened... and jimmy paige is still kicking about as a retired rock legend here in uk in 2024. so is robert plant too, although of course he has changed so much since 'peak plant' back in the day. still amazing guys to see still around though. and with so many stories to tell. its really lovely to remember about these things
Page transposed the riff to different notes in the harmony, the bass stayed on the main riff. That was the tone change you noticed. There was a previous time where the JPJ played the riff an octave up on his bass. Nice observation.
Australian legend John Farnham has a version of this song on youtube he has never released a recording of it as he only uses it for his warm up before his concerts, luckily a recording technician happened to have the recording equipment turned on so we do have it sung live on youtube...I highly recommend checking it out it is simply brilliant!
I got to see them, live, but later on in the 90s, when Plant and Page were touring with Egyptian musician backups. It was a cool concert, but I was sitting way back in the colosseum, and couldn't hear Jimmy's guitar.
I saw Robert Plant during his solo career,Phil Collins was playing drums for him. I also saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page while they were promoting their " No Quarters " album.
Led Zeppelin always makes me think of my Dad. He is a HUGE fan of them. Told me he got to see them multiple times when they were big in the late 60s 70s. I am super jealous he's gotten to see them live. Couldn't imagine especially in that era
My parents wouldn't let me listen to Zeppelin at home. Me and my friends would go to the fishing pier bait shop/snack bar and put a quarter in the juke box. We would play Black Dog and Joy to the World by three dog night. My buddy Eric could reach his hand behind the juke box and turn the volumn up. Those were days. I also learned that i dont know but have been told that Eskimo ....is cold.
Hi ! I saw Robert Plant on his first Solo tour in 1983 at the Forum of Montreal and recently discovered it s on youtube ! lol ya ! wow was i glad to see that ! Ok, it s not a good quality but it s there. It s a great feeling to relive that night. Another thing i didn t even know that s crazy, being there and never noticing the drummer, Wow ! i was stunned when watching it on youtube i saw who the drummer was ! It s a must see ! Guess who was the drummer ? .....🤔
Ha, that was a comment he made in an interview later in his life when he said when he looked back on his younger self, he joked that he wished that he dressed "more to the right."
@@chrisnicol1644 well that explains a lot, he worked for Rolling Stone Magazine, they were the worst at criticizing everything about Led Zeppelin including their music.
Amazing live performances In The Evening live at Knebworth (1979), to over 200,000 fans. In My Time Of Dying at Earls Court (1975), Jimmy plays the hell out of a steel guitar. Plant & Page so sexy to watch them live.
such a brilliant and classic song, would always be on my soundtrack along with alice in hell, the hand that feeds, monkey wrench, all of early queensryche, lovely (suicidal tendances) i only put the group because thats the lesser known. and many more, not enough time to list them all. but i will be listening to them all on my flight to prague next month.
A famous T-shirt that Robert Plant wore in a live show was his blue "Nurses Do It Better" shirt in Zeppelin's last North American concerts in the US in Oakland CA. in 1977. The 1977 tour was cut short due to the death of Plant's 5 year old son Karac Plant in England, because of a stomach virus. Plant was devastated when his son died an almost quit the band at that point because of it. There is some video footage of Zeppelin on youtube from those Oakland shows, and plenty of online pictures of Plant wearing that famous t-shirt. Always love your reactions. Thanks.
Plants wife Maureen was a nurse. They say the shirt in this concert was a groupies shirt, I always wondered if it actually belonged to his wife. I’m not saying they were angels, but many stories were exaggerated, because they wouldn’t speak with the press often. Rolling Stone we’re huge critics of them, & often lied.
@@sicotshit7068 Yeah I've heard that but it can't be the case as he's definitely wearing the same shirt during some of those concerts in England in the January before. Cheers.
Jane's Addiction, "Ocean Size". You should really put this on your list to listen to. They have a similar style to Led Zeppelin. They are from Los Angeles, and the lead singer, Perry Farrell, is the creator of LalaPalooza.
I'm 60 now and grew up with led zeppelin, out all of their albums I have never heard a bad song! Keep showing the younger generations the greatest music ever ❤
1 month shy of 67 and I still love Zep.
Even though I wasn't born in their era I definitely appreciate that craftsmanship
I'm 60 as well. Every time I hear ANY Led Zeppelin song, I'm transported back to my Jr. High days in the late 70's.
Fun Fact: This song is called "Black Dog" because they were having trouble coming up with a name for the song when they recorded it and at that time a stray black dog was wandering around the studio. They said that if they didn't come up with a name soon they'd just call the song "Black Dog".
Also, can you imagine what a cool place 1970s London and the music scene must have been! Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, etc., what a time to be alive.
i always thought it was aobut depression, and winston churchiull referred ot his depression as 'my black dog'.
Makes me more scared to find out how he came up with "Big Log".
🤣🤣🤣

True story! I never get tired of hearing it!❤

The 70’s was such a blast.
16 in 1970,I saw Hendrix’s last live performance at the legendary Isle of Wight festival 1970 (our Woodstock) and finished the 70’s seeing these boys for the fourth time at Knebworth in England.
It was a decade long party and the gigs and concerts (at affordable ticket prices) were lifetime experiences.
You would have fitted right into that vibe I think Aileen.
One must never forget where it all started in the Mayall Camp. John is still with us at 93 years old. God bless him and others like Korner and Davies.
Yes, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, one of the most underrated rhythm sections, ever, honed their craft with John. The list of people who played with John is mind blowing, those influenced by him is endless. I saw him in the 70s, blew us away! Also Paul Butterfield around that time. Great times!
Madison Square Garden.I was there for all the shows
Wow. The combined cost for all the tickets was what, $150.00?
This was the first Zeppelin song I ever heard back in 1984. I was instantly hooked and they have been my favorite band ever since.
9:03: He's not just the guitarist. He is the main writer of the band's music, he is the musical producer of the band, and above all, it's HIS band, it might as well have been called "The Jimmy Page's Band".
At this point he is also their archivist and "Chief Protector of the Legacy."
I think you should be very careful disregarding John Paul Jones.
@@andrewplumb6544 In fact, I believe it was Jonesy that came up with the main start/stop hook for this song, inspired by Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well".
Page found Plant.
You are so right, it was always Jimmy's band. He was also very aware that the rest of his band mates were the best of what they do.
Never forget the first time I listened to Led Zeppelin in the late 80's as a young teenager, in my room listening to Radom music chillin, and my brother comes in my bedroom we start chatting about music he says look listen to Led Zeppelin I said ik and I put on ny head phones,vand I listened to first Zeppelin tape and communications communcation brekdown cone on well man goose bumps came out from head to tie and sst on the side if my bed and I was absolutely in heaven,vmand that was it listened to thst tape over over sgain then that was it ,it was love and thats how I came addicted to the best band ever , pass this genius beautiful music onto your children, The Best Band Ever !!!
5:31: It's the harmony part of the guitar riff. On the studio version you can hear the two guitar parts together in harmony.
Jimmy Paige is one of my main inspirations for learning guitar, he is a monster. Also Robert Plant has one of the most iconic rock voices of all time
The tone change referred to, is a harmony of the melody by Page from the first verse. Also the title is from a daily visit by, an animal during production of the album. They just named the song after him.
That dog went from stray to the most known and talked about dog on the planet! I hope he knew his daily visit to listen to the humans make those cool sounds made him a legend and he strutted around a little prouder till his last day!

Absolutely lovely reaction to my favorite Zeppelin song! 🤩😍🥰
They are magnificent...especially live!
Great breakdown of this. Zep was something otherworldly.
I really love your reactions ti these Zeppelin songs, that with the Stones have been the soundtrack of my life!! So glad your experiencing how good this era of rock music was!!
I've seen them live twice. The first time was a beautiful night in Maryland at the Meriweather Post Pavilion. Being a new band, they opened for the Who. They stole the show to the point that the Who's manager pulled the plug on them! We only thought it was a power failure, or we would have rioted!! After the show, I got on my motorcycle to go home and a pretty young sweetie all worked up by Robert came up to me and put her hand on my bare chest. I was 19 and wearing the denim vest popular at the time with no shirt. She put her face in mine and said "I wanna go for a ride". "Sure, Sweetheart". She swung a leg over the bike and some guy yelled "What the hell are you doing!!!" "Going for a ride" "Oh hell no you aren't!!" He grabbed her and off they went. I guess she was his date. Oh well, it was the Sixties. Easy come and easy go. Wonderful memories!!!
haha, cool little "tail" you told there! I saw quite a few shows at MPP in the early 80's! Glad to know this story happened there, and my God, Zeppelin opening up for The WHO! Holy shit whatta show!
2:27 We called it braggadocio back in the day. And fun fact: Jimmy Page got his start back in the early 1960s as a session guitarist/hired gun, playing guitar parts for the odd band who needed his services. Among others, he played the guitar on Goldfinger, a James Bond film theme song as well as artists like The Who, Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Donovan and more.
I drank some beers with this Guy in 1998 and i had no idea who this guy was! We were just talking and we found out that we have the same name! It was a brilliant night in a bar of a friend obviously of both of us! A very nice person! Some weeks after i started listening Zeppelin and until today it is one of the best bands ever!
well who knew that these bands witch I grew up listening to when I was 15 in 1976 ,still is the best ones .Zeppelin III personal fav. Thanks for the reaction nice to see and hear a younger generation loving what I did back then!👍🤘😍 Greetings and love frpm Sweden.
I saw Led Zeppelin in concert in 1969 and 1970. They were electrifying in person.
Meriweather Post Pavilion. The only time they shared a stage with The Who.
Yup, was at this show, last night of the tour July 29, 1973!... Now treat yourself to the studio version and hear Roberts vocals a couple years before they got roadworn
Great song, one of many, next you need to try Dazed and Confused, please do the studio original first, it will absolutely freak you out, then do the live version at MSG 1973, that is 28 minutes and the definitive live version of this legendary song.
We were freaked out in 1969 by their first 2 album, other than the impact the Beatles had, they are the band that made a hard rock sound with incredible musicianship and stage presence, that many were inspired by but no one surpassed. Simply the best sounding band, for me, they, along with Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The WHO, the Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath have been in heavy rotation since they came out. You simply cannot go wrong reacting to any of those bands, the very best of classic rock. More Zeppelin, please! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Definitely
The Might ZEPP. Bonham the “beast.”Jimmy the wizard. Robert the “seducer. John Paul Jones the “ Back bone”. Beautiful reaction Aileen. Keep them coming!!! Keep Rockin’ 😀🎸🤘✌️🔥
Always a pleasure watching your reactions to great music, old and new
I am enjoying your reactions very much. You have great taste; you've been choosing all of Zeppelin's hits and I'm so glad they are having a good effect on you! This is one of their most classic songs. It reminds me of when I saw John Paul Jones in concert in 2001: he played this song and I stood right in the very front right, right in front of him and I couldn't stop thinking, "Here's the bass player from Led Zeppelin playing one of their greatest songs. I'm seeing him in action! He has not lost a thing! He is one of the greats!" If you'd like a deeper cut, I recommend watching Zeppelin play "How Many More Times" during their first TV appearance in Denmark, 1969. Keep rocking!
Jimmy uses alterative notes from the Dorian Scale on the Ear grabbing hook. Marvelous video thanks.
To answer your question about the guitar tone change - yes he changes it up. On the studio version there's a guitar overdub that comes in and plays the riff in a higher pich along with the original tone. Page plays the higher pitch for a couple of bars.
I grew up with this. Zeppelin was my 2nd concert, early 1976, I was 16. They had the coolest lazer show---when nobody had laser shows. I had Led Zeppelin I, II, III, and this one IV,--actually the album doesn't have a name! For some reason I never called any of them by their first names! Robert was just "Plant", Jimmy was just "Page", Bonham was Bonham or Bonzo, later. Oh, and JPG was always "John Paul Jones". LOL. Of course guys were just "dudes" and girls were first name or "fox" in 3rd person, if so deemed. LOL
Thanks for your reviews of these old songs. They bring back memories! You do a great job! Keep them coming!
I was 15 when I first saw them live at the Fillmore East in New York 1969 or 70
Such a great reaction Aileen, you really do need to check something out from the 2007 concert at the O2 in London, such a brilliant concert by a much older LZ, you’ll be shooketh at just how damn good they are in there 60s, Kashmir being the outstanding performance of the show, other notables include Rock and Roll, No Quarter, Nobody’s Fault But Mine….great reaction again Aileen ❤️
“ In My Time Of Dying” live 1975. Oh yeahhhhh!!
Rock on Aileen 🤘 🎸 🎶 😊
The 70s were pretty cool. My high school years were 71-75, And middle school was radical as well. Or in the venacular, it was a groovy time to be a young person. Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin. Great music and fun times.
All these songs including Black Dog were straight-up hits. I heard Black Dog on the radio, in the 70's, every day in Detroit. Good Times Bad Times, Stairway, Whole Lotta Love, everything. Every day!
Space dress and devil horns feel like a good combination for Led Zeppelin and this song in particular. Loved the review and your energy and engagement with what you are listening to.
Aileen
You are not alone on thinking tempo of the song here. Jimmy Page, guitarist is known for changing tempo on each LZ's song. After the years as a session musician, Jimmy uses his experiences on each song.
I think you really need to check out “In My Time of Dying” filmed at Earls Court in 1975. their version of an old blues number. Robert on full wail.
I'd go for the 1969 Danmark tv footage or the 1970 Royal Albert Hall footage for Robert at his singing peak.
They had no title for this song so after seeing a black dog outside the studio after they recorded the song so they called Black Dog, love it. I went to two Zep concerts one in 1975 and then in 1977. I can tell you they are mesmerizing and in my opinion the greatest rock band ever. I have been to a lot of concerts and Zep top them all.
My Senior year, spring of 1977, I popped into an outdoor nighttime party and the live band they had's lead guitar player was a friend of mine from our junior high jazz band years. He let me play his Cherry Gibson SG while they took a break. I cranked up the volume and got to play Stairway to Heaven for over 100 people...I was so thrilled! Their
music helped me get through high school and gave me the "thrill of living" as John Cougar would say!
Robert didnt always have his shirt open. He actually has his shirt buttoned up in the 1969 Danmark tv footage, the 1970 Royal Albert Hall footage, and in the 1979 Knebworth footage it's half closed. ✌️
This is the kind of reaction I look for. People really feelin the music.
I remember my drum teacher telling me that you can hear (not sure if it's only recording or live too) but at different parts when the band comes back after stops in the song, Bonham doing a slight click with his sticks as a timing thing. Had never realized it until i was told about it. Now when listen I can't help but to hear it.
Great choice in playing this version! Seen it once before.
Getting the led out with some Led Zepplin
There are casual non-concert photos of Robert wearing T-shirts. ✌️❤️🌹
More ledzeplen less goo! this is another cozy and amazing vid plus I get to watch this on my day off and I hope Arya had a blast with her gifts aswell ❤🔥
I was a teen in the 70's and saw Led Zep on their 75-76 tour at MSG and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen... and I've seen almost every major act of the 70's and 80's.
Live version with extended instrumentals are always rewarding.
This is gonna date me a bit but I was listening to this album and I believe this song on tape in my Walkman when I was 16 at a store in Temecula CA, when I looked up and see a tall blonde figure who looked a great deal like Robert Plant but a few pounds heavier. So I coyly approached and asked "excuse me sir but you wouldn't be Robert Plant". He looked at me somewhat shocked ( I think it was because he was surprised to see a child in the 90's who knew who he was) and he said in a British accent " Why yes I am" and I popped out the tape and put it in his hand to show him. Then he said " great taste son, unfortunately I don't have a marker on me to sign it" I said " no worries it's just an honor to get to say hi and tell you how much I love your music, thank you have a great day" and that was that. Very kind man.
You're makin' awesome material here. Keep it up
Love this song. Thanks for reacting to it 🎉
That one part you questioned is Jimmy going up an active on that riff just to mix it up a bit.... I always love your reactions, you're the best! :)
Hi Aileen 😊👍 Once again great reaction to Led Zeppelin's Black Dog and all the Led Zeppelin videos 😊👍 The only way to truly experience Led Zeppelin is to watch their live videos and you should find each and every song live and completely enjoy 😊👍 Jimmy Page said that when he was with The Yardbirds, they were locked into making singles but that wasn't the type of music that they were playing, though the studios were pressuring them to make singles, and they didn't want to do that. So when Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin, he told these record companies we are not going to be making singles, we make albums. So you didn't hear any singles in the 70s, everything that they produced was played on FM stations where they could play half of a whole album at once and they sold many many records by word of mouth and then also concerts by word of mouth they were huge.😊 Look forward to hearing more live reactions of Led Zeppelin from you... such a treat 😊👍 Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍
Great reaction! Thanks for sharing. Just 4 great musicians jamming live.
Greatest Band Ever!
This song is actually a very big hit for Zeppelin. You still have not listened to many of their big hits yet. You do know what Robert meant by " make your honey drip" in the 3rd stanza ,right? If not, the "g" version of that is, what happens to a woman's lower part of her body, the part thats different from a man's, when she gets excited? Well, that moisture in old blues songs is often called "her honey and her body part that makes the honey, her honey pot." SOOOOOOO, if he is making her "Honey Drip........::)
Plant's first band after Zeppelin broke up was even called "The Honey Drippers." Another song, "Custard Pie" has the same sort of meaning. Now, that one actually slipped by me for the longest time. LOL. Thats not the only thing you can see in Robert's tight jeans. That vest is ONLY in the MSG vids. A young girl groupie gave it to him before the concert. So it's actually a females' clothing attire.
With Zeppelin, it's often about sex. LOL.
There was one where he sings something about 'squeeze my lemon' can't put my finger on it right now. As you said, this is the strong influence of American Blues, something all those early bands had.
@@ricklee5845 That would be the lemon song.
@@boki1693 Thank you, YES, now that you mention it! ☺
"A young girl groupie gave it to him before the concert"
When? He's wearing the same top half a year earlier during Zeppelin's tour of England in early 1973.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Don't shoot the messenger. :)
Look for their led zeppelin o2 arena, London (Celebration Day gig) in 2012, its online, they still got it
The tone change you are hearing....Jimmy Page has shifted from playing the original Riff to playing a "Harmony". On the original studion version it doesn't stand out as much because he played multiple tracks and the "Melody" riff is still there, but live, when the melody is gone and he's playing only "Harmony" it gives it that shifted sound. MASTERY AT WORK
Thank you for your excellent reaction, the title of the song is because at the recording studio in Wales there was a black dog who they spent time with between recording. Please keep making these videos and enjoying yourself as much as you can.
At Headley Grange, there’s a video of them hanging out there, & the black Lab is seen in it. The band lived at Headley Grange together, writing & recording songs in The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio. That’s where they got the amazing drum beat that opens for When The Levee Breaks, in the 3 story entrance to the mansion. They lived there with no heat, Led Zeppelin style of roughing it.
Well it wasn't recorded in Wales, but in England. Island Studios, where they recorded Black Dog, was in Notting Hill, London (not far from where Jimmy Page lives) and Headley Grange, where the actual black dog was, is in Hampshire (about 40 miles southwest of London).
You might be thinking of the cottage Bron-yr-Aur, which is is Wales? They wrote some stuff there, but it wasn't where they recorded the songs for the album.
Just saying.
@@lyndoncmp5751 they did record some at Headley Grange, & some at the studio, there’s a video of Jimmy talking about it. I know to at some point Plant & Page were at Bron-yr-Aur writing songs, I believe it was for Led Zeppelin 3. I believe that place belongs to Plants father, they didn’t have electricity, can’t remember if they also didn’t have heat or maybe water. Bonham’s open drum beat at the least, for When The Levee Breaks, was done in the entry area of Headley Grange.
@@sicotshit7068
Oh yes they certainly recorded some songs at Headley Grange, like Levee, as you said. That's where the wandering black dog was, but the actual song Black Dog was recorded at Island Studios in London by all accounts.
Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but I've been to both Headley Grange in Hampshire and Bron-yr-Aur in Wales. Not inside but outside both. Very surreal. I actually heard a dog barking when I was on the lawn at Headley Grange. I backed off. I wonder if the dog was a black one? 😂.
I actually live only a couple of miles from where Jimmy Page grew up in Epsom, Surrey. Been past his old house a few times, and his one in London called the Tower House.
Im a huge Zeppelin fan 😊
@@lyndoncmp5751 I’m a huge fan too, for about 50 years now. I recently found out that Bonham’s wife never remarried, & still lives in their home. It’s cool you’ve been to those places, thanks for sharing that. Sadly as much as I love them, I never got to see them in concert, either to young & or no transportation. I guess watching the lives on UA-cam is as close as I’ll get, I did see the movie decades ago in the theater, & twice recently on UA-cam.
All their tunes are fantastic. My favorite is Kashmir.
After the crowd participation part,is the best riff ever written in rock and no its not stolen from a blues musician.period
You hit it right on the nose. There is no bad Led Zeppelin song. It’s why they are considered the greatest Rock band of all time. Jimmy Page is the godfather of rock n roll guitarists. Some other songs you should add to your play list include “No Quarter”, “Ramble on”, “The Song Remains the Same” and “Moby Dick”. See if you can catch the Nod to JRR. Tolkiens “Lord of The Rings” in the lyrics to “Ramble On”!! Enjoy!!
"Black Dog" Oh yeah ! I am sure you ladies like that shirtless look. In the earlier Emerson Lake and Palmer videos Carl (The Drummer) takes off his shirt during his drum solo during ... Rondo... He said it started when on one occasion he was hot but then saw the crowd like it so he kept doing it (for a few years) . Keith Emerson often would wear a shirt that was open. But the one i bet your would like the most is this one ---->Emerson Lake and Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man (Finale Live Royal Albert Hall 1992)... his pants are riding kind of low and now he is older with hair on his chest. It's my favorite version of the song and Finale is Rondo. (Somebody in the audience takes Keith's hat while he is laying on his back playing Bach backwards.) Oh wait!!! Aren't I supposed to be talking about the song Black Dog? We really loved it way back then and still do today. IT ROCKS!!! Wishing you all the best.
this one of the first songs in my memory. I remember being less than 5 years old listening to my mom singing it.
yeah the most legendary band in rock history... between those guys and sabbath... just wanted to add my introduction was with thee amazing double dvd remaster thingy. which included a lot of these recordings. and then also the whole feeling of 70s england era which at the time was all post summer of love 69 basically was what kicked it off... also included other cult uk culture things like dr who, and bbc shows like the whistle stop thingy? was another one. it's still amazing to watch those past video footage to those earlier times because its so magical feelings all of how things used to be back then. we also had some uk comedy shows back then, such as steptoe & son, rising damp, err... monty python, what else? the rise and fall of reginald perrin. and quite a lot of other cool stuff. sorry i am forgetting much of it now. but as a part of british cultural things, that the music also sat within, or the lives of those famous celebrities during those times. after the beatles whatever else... things also tended to last a bit longer back then. with society changing less rapidly year on year.
the drummer (bonham)'s son learned to drum like his lost dad, and then played gigs with the rest of the original zepplin for a while. as a reunion type of things... jimmy paige the guitarist opened during the london olympics whenever that happened... and jimmy paige is still kicking about as a retired rock legend here in uk in 2024. so is robert plant too, although of course he has changed so much since 'peak plant' back in the day. still amazing guys to see still around though. and with so many stories to tell. its really lovely to remember about these things
Page transposed the riff to different notes in the harmony, the bass stayed on the main riff. That was the tone change you noticed. There was a previous time where the JPJ played the riff an octave up on his bass. Nice observation.
Let it feel ya baby. Just let it feel ya! It’s so smoooooth!
Australian legend John Farnham has a version of this song on youtube he has never released a recording of it as he only uses it for his warm up before his concerts, luckily a recording technician happened to have the recording equipment turned on so we do have it sung live on youtube...I highly recommend checking it out it is simply brilliant!
I got to see them, live, but later on in the 90s, when Plant and Page were touring with Egyptian musician backups. It was a cool concert, but I was sitting way back in the colosseum, and couldn't hear Jimmy's guitar.
Yes! The tone changed in a nice funky way
Jimmy Page uses custom wiring in his guitar with switches to change sounds during the performance, plus the pedals and the wahs that he uses.
I saw Robert Plant during his solo career,Phil Collins was playing drums for him. I also saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page while they were promoting their " No Quarters " album.
when you listen to led Zeppelin it's always always always always best to watch the live versions
Trampled Underfoot is another great Zeppelin song. But again, they all are. 😎 I know you will love it! ❤
I saw ledzep day on the green, Oakland CA 78. Those who witnessed God's of all type of music, will also say the BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!
Led Zeppelin always makes me think of my Dad. He is a HUGE fan of them. Told me he got to see them multiple times when they were big in the late 60s 70s. I am super jealous he's gotten to see them live. Couldn't imagine especially in that era
I’m 70 now.
I was there.
Us boomers were the blessed generation.
Led Zeppelin was Rock & Roll on warp drive.
That was my favorite Zeppelin song.
Yeah, Page gutar,Bohnam,drums,John Paul Jones,bass,and Plant pn volcals.
Loved the reaction Aileen. All hail the kings of rock and roll. 🤘❤
My parents wouldn't let me listen to Zeppelin at home. Me and my friends would go to the fishing pier bait shop/snack bar and put a quarter in the juke box. We would play Black Dog and Joy to the World by three dog night. My buddy Eric could reach his hand behind the juke box and turn the volumn up. Those were days. I also learned that i dont know but have been told that Eskimo ....is cold.
Hi ! I saw Robert Plant on his first Solo tour in 1983 at the Forum of Montreal and recently discovered it s on youtube ! lol ya ! wow was i glad to see that ! Ok, it s not a good quality but it s there. It s a great feeling to relive that night. Another thing i didn t even know that s crazy, being there and never noticing the drummer, Wow ! i was stunned when watching it on youtube i saw who the drummer was ! It s a must see ! Guess who was the drummer ? .....🤔
Robert always dresses to "the right"
He also frequently dresses in groupie blouses from the previous night's conquests. Truth.
Ha, that was a comment he made in an interview later in his life when he said when he looked back on his younger self, he joked that he wished that he dressed "more to the right."
@@chrisnicol1644actually to his left, but I think the joke was about it being a sock, I know men like to bring that up.
@@chrisnicol1644 if it was written by some guy that had worked for them, I can’t remember who, they have said he bullshitted to sell books.
@@chrisnicol1644 well that explains a lot, he worked for Rolling Stone Magazine, they were the worst at criticizing everything about Led Zeppelin including their music.
I believe that “jacket” that you are referring to is a groupies shirt that he borrowed.
It’s actually one of Robert’s wife’s shirts 👍
@@71ernz Lol. I guess he came prepared.
Amazing live performances In The Evening live at Knebworth (1979), to over 200,000 fans. In My Time Of Dying at Earls Court (1975), Jimmy plays the hell out of a steel guitar. Plant & Page so sexy to watch them live.
You should check out Led Zeppelin. I Cant Quit You live from Royal Albert Hall. It's one of their earlier performances
Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels 🎸-👉 Devil in A Blue Dress Melody
Upon thousands of suggestions you receive may you have wonderful musical day 🌅
such a brilliant and classic song, would always be on my soundtrack along with alice in hell, the hand that feeds, monkey wrench, all of early queensryche, lovely (suicidal tendances) i only put the group because thats the lesser known. and many more, not enough time to list them all. but i will be listening to them all on my flight to prague next month.
Check out the ocean by the great zeppelin Madison square garden live 1973 it's awesome
you are amazing Aileen
I was lucky enough to see their last American concert in 1977. Oakland California
Me and my recently passed identical twin brother grew up with L.Z. we absolutely loved them!!💔😪🙏
A famous T-shirt that Robert Plant wore in a live show was his blue "Nurses Do It Better" shirt in Zeppelin's last North American concerts in the US in Oakland CA. in 1977. The 1977 tour was cut short due to the death of Plant's 5 year old son Karac Plant in England, because of a stomach virus. Plant was devastated when his son died an almost quit the band at that point because of it. There is some video footage of Zeppelin on youtube from those Oakland shows, and plenty of online pictures of Plant wearing that famous t-shirt. Always love your reactions. Thanks.
Plants wife Maureen was a nurse. They say the shirt in this concert was a groupies shirt, I always wondered if it actually belonged to his wife. I’m not saying they were angels, but many stories were exaggerated, because they wouldn’t speak with the press often. Rolling Stone we’re huge critics of them, & often lied.
@sicotshit7068
I don't know where he got the blouse top from but he's wearing it half a year earlier during Zeppelin's tour of England in early 1973.
@@lyndoncmp5751 then more then likely it is his wife’s, people make it out that he got it while at MSG in (1973).

Yeah I've heard that but it can't be the case as he's definitely wearing the same shirt during some of those concerts in England in the January before.
Cheers.
I spent my high-school years with Zeppelin 😊
That fucking guitar solo dude 🤩🤯😳😂
Jane's Addiction, "Ocean Size". You should really put this on your list to listen to. They have a similar style to Led Zeppelin. They are from Los Angeles, and the lead singer, Perry Farrell, is the creator of LalaPalooza.
Ahahaha swear ya do the **BEST Led Zeppelin Reactions** EVERYthing you say pretty **Spot ON** ha YAY **BrightensMyDay** Thank **YOU**
Those of us who saw them live are truly blessed.
