Just to let you know, Jimmy Page is using a violin bow on his guitar to make those creepy, awesome sounds!!!! This is on their 1st album!!! Imagine what people were thinking??? Crazy Good!!!
When you consider what we had all through the 60's , like pop music and then this heavy ,wild, incredible assault to your senses..in a great way. Was nothing like it ,ever at the time or since....
Daisy. Well said. Then again the same can be said for pretty much all their work. Hands down, the best Rock and Roll band to ever walk the planet. My son is 17 and he is a Zepp junkie. None of this rap crap these kids all listen to today. I digress.
It’s amazing when a drummer is so powerful, lyrical and musically impeccable. It’s why he’s considered the best. Nothing fancy, but huge feeling and flow. So awesome!
Recorded and mixed in 30 hours, Jimmy produced and paid for the production… recorded mostly with his iconic Dragon Telecaster, and a small supro amp… it still holds up as one of the greatest debut albums of all time.
Back in the day, NO ONE, BUT NO ONE, had heard ANYTHING like this. BLEW OUR COLLECTIVE MINDS! I'M 76 and count seeing them live as being a bucket list done early!😂❤❤❤
I'm 72 yrs old and I seen Zeppelin in concert in Chicago '72 & '73. I am a drummer who knows drummers, Bonzo outplays them ALL! I've been to many, many concerts in my time but NOBODY can make you feel the way these four dude make you feel. NOBODY!
"A track that would give me a speeding ticket" - Absolute gold! Perfectly captures how I feel when that insane groove kicks in! This song is such a journey. So glad you finally made it to this track! I feel it's a bit underappreciated in Zeppelin's catalog. I think it's one of their all-time best. Bonham's drumming in the second half is absolutely unreal!
🎼John Paul Jones rumbles and walks the bass line with drummer John Bonham like nobody’s business. Robert Plants his voice “either way” with real passion. Jimmy Page stands for himself and is totally on fire like always. How many more times?
Three weeks together as a band..... Average age of 20-21 years old.... No, all the songs weren't written originally by them, but they made them their own...RESPECT.
I was thinking about how many people, including myself, are always throwing out Led Zeppelin songs for you to react to. But really, you could Just put every song title in a hat, it doesn't matter which one you draw, it will be FIRE. Even their most unpopular track is on a God-like level, that in my opinion, other bands could only reach in their dreams. Thank you for another Zep reaction!!!!!!♥♥♥
The greatest rock band ever!! Imagine going out and buying this on vinyl (for me it was 1969) and then playing it on a great stereo system! Every new Zeppelin album - as each was released... the feeling of joy and wonder cannot be explained... !!!!!!
Imagine parents born in the 30s hearing their kids listening to Zeppelin. “What’s that racket? Have you lost your mind?” Ha! It’s fantastic and people still love it.
Zeppelin’s catalog is unparalleled. Their music is wonderfully diverse and they were a whimsically fun and jolly band who could blow you away with their supreme talents but do it with a wink because they were having fun too.
"Steal away now" "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play why don't come with me baby" "Well they call me The Hunter, that's my name" " Cause I got you in the sight of my guuuuuuun"! Come on now. Jimmy's other "bow" song! Robert's wails. Top 5 studio cuts, for me!
Started with the Beatles and the Doors but this first album was unlike anything before it. Just a jolt of lightning running through my body. Couldn’t get enough from then on
I live in the country on the top of the hill I have a 4,000 watt stereo with 16 speakers and when I listen to led Zeppelin the whole valley listens to led Zeppelin
Love your reactions! This is, has and always will be my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Just imagine what it was like to hear about this new band in 1969, called Led Zeppelin, featuring an ex-Yardbird on guitar; imagine what it was like first hearing this song. Imagine what this song sounded like live in concert (there are some excellent examples, such as the live version they did of this during their first TV appearance in '69, or their performance of this song during their concert at the Royal Albert Hall the following year). This was the ultimate final statement of the British Blues Scene of the sixties. But Zep didn't just play the blues, they steamrolled over it, making way for heavy metal and prog rock. And I say that in the most living/loving way possible! This song is the perfect example of how Zep set their stall at the very beginning: the band playing forcefully with something to prove; Page shredding out riffs; Plant screaming out every blues lyric he can think of; Jonesey laying down heavy but funky bass lines; Bonzo walloping the drums with all his might, playing one drum kit, making it sound like two, as if he had eight limbs!
This songs gives all four players their moment. Awesome walking base line, obvious drum creativity, guitar solos, Plant just wailing and moaning. What a song.
Sir, I never really put into words that “slow motion” singing style just growing up with it I guess it was just what it is. Awesome description!! ✌🏼👏🏼😎👍🏼🫡💯btw-my fav by them.
Polo....you are my favorite reactor by far. However, although I am a Tool fan as well, I just can't even mention them in the breath. Zeppelin is god, and everyone else is just a televangelist living off the blessing of these 4 men coming together and giving us a new direction
Polo, your reactions when you're blown away by a song bring back my feelings when I first heard the same song. I especially liked your recent take on my most favorite Led Zeppelin song, "When the Levee Breaks". The Led Zeppelin songs I'm most looking forward to watching you experience are: ROCK AND ROLL You might expect that a Zeppelin song with this title rocks to the extreme. You'd be right. BRING IT ON HOME The Zep songs that feature Robert Plant playing harmonica are bluesy standouts for me. TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT This is the funkiest Zep song of them all. It's impossible to sit still through this song! Keep on rocking, Polo!
1st introduction to this great band, from their 1st album. You had songs like "Build Me Up Buttercup", or some other 60's pop songs and then came this ! Led Zeppelin, there just was nothing like this when they came out. Stunned and shocked your system listening to them ...at least me. Been fan for over 50 yrs!!!!!!
Damn. This takes me back to my senior year in HS when this came out. My buds and I , who had a band, all religiously sat around the record player in the dark just vibing out. A few months later, we went to see them live at the Winterland in SF in 1969. ( I like how Jimmy sneaks in “ Beck’s Bolero” there!) “ They Call Me the Hunter” is from Little Milton- a great blues artist.
John Bonham always made his presence felt in every LZ song. No-one else wanted him back in pre Zep times because he played too loud but he suited Zep perfectly. His death is what shut down LZ. They all had something special. JPJ is a bassist, pianist and multi instrumentalist, Pagey has no peers as a guitarist/engineer and Plant's voice and writing is magnificent. They were one of those rare bands that come along once in a generation, I'm glad it was in mine. Pure talent and timing. R I P John Bonham "Bonzo"
Imagine for a moment getting your hands on this in 1969 when the Flower Power movement was still in full force. Now imagine listening to somebody these same insane Zeppelin tracks live while "experimenting" with the types of things that were common amongst rock fans at that point in time. Mind blowing!
Led Zeppelin is timeless! I bought this album 16 years after its debut. Listen to D'yer Mak"er off their Houses of the Holy album. One of my personal faves.
Thank You, Polo, for playing this one! It's been a while since I've listened to it & I forgot how much I love it! Yes, the drums are great!!! Believe it or not ... when I was 19 y/o I took drum lessons from my boyfriend at the time. That's when I found out I didn't have the coordination to be a drummer! I was crushed!😃
I love Led Zepp. I just reheard a song from 1970 from a band called Quicksilver Messenger Service, a prolific FM mainstay of the 60's and 70's. It is a song that could have been written today and is proof that not all boomers are what some youngins think we are. The song is What You Going To Do About Me. Check it out.
Great tune, great album. I still remember coming home from the record store with this album in 1976 when I was 15 and putting it on the turntable. I'm sure the whole neighborhood knew I just got this album.
Plant & Bonham did, Bonham in May of 68 & Plant on August 20,68. Their first practice together was on August 19, they only played about 2 months when they recorded their first album in October. Over about 4 days & a total of 36 hours, they recorded & Page produced mixed & edited it, it was released on January 12, 1969.
Polo the line Plant sings 'They call me the hunter, that's my name' is from a track by the British band Free- 'The Hunter'. Great Blues Rock band, mates of Zeppelin, worth checking out

If your American is BonHAM but if your a Brit it's BonUM or just Bonzo😂😂😂
I agree LED Zeppelin is now and forever the greatest.
POLO...You want some drums? Then what you waitin for 😂 You want MOBY DICK by them... Jon's gonna make your head spin😜🤟🔥
The amazing thing about this song is this was their first album. They were just getting started. Best debut album of all time.
Every time I hear them , I still get fired up just like the first time I heard them!
They are the THUNDER OF THE GODS !
Just to let you know, Jimmy Page is using a violin bow on his guitar to make those creepy, awesome sounds!!!! This is on their 1st album!!! Imagine what people were thinking??? Crazy Good!!!

All four of them are musical geniuses all their own. This one is brilliant.
The biggest waste of time on this earth is debating on who was, is and will always be the greatest rock band of all time. It's clearly Led Zeppelin.
Clearly
My ringtone is Kashmir
I like to say that Led Zeppelin is everyone's favourite band, some people just don't know it yet.
What is unarguable is that they are the greatest blues cover band of all time.
TY!
This album released in 1969. Blew everybody away.
I was 10 rocking to this album
LED is the most talented band of all time
There's LED ZEPPELIN and then there's everyone else. After all these years of listening to them= I'm still Speechless......
Someone once said that this was THE most explosive first effort by a band ever.
The talent can't be matched 50 years later
I am in my senior years and Led Zeppelin still gives me goosebumps. So trippy and so brilliant
Yes at least once per song, often more times, it’s usually Plants vocals that do it for me.
I even know where I was and what I was doing when I first heard this song
So, you're in 12th grade? 😊
The stars aligned and we were blessed with Led Zeppelin.
❤❤❤❤

John Paul Jones comes up with brilliant counter rhythms
They're all absolutely killing it on this song. A fantastic showcase of the mind-blowing talent of this legendary band!

Yes, listening to FM and hearing the news of a new Zeppelin album coming out was pure in the moment bliss.
@@intothemystic3374 totally!!
Polo, i will never tire and find delight in watching you react to Zeppelin songs.
Zep was an incredibly talented band with all 4 members...No one can deny. All 4! Jimmy, John, & John, Robert.
The Mighty Zeppelin!
Imagine parents born in the 30s hearing their kids listening to Zeppelin. “What’s that racket? Have you lost your mind?” Ha! It’s fantastic and people still love it.
I LOVE THIS CONTENT!!! Greatest debut album of all time...period. thanks as always for the reaction...
Led Zeppelin is the only band that I like every single song.
Hot dog?
@@tallguyshortgirl Yes
@@tallguyshortgirl Hot Dog is ten times better than Hats off to Roy Harper ! LOL
The Crunge?
Led Zep is the only band. Period
Best blues,rock blues band ever!...
Zeppelin’s catalog is unparalleled. Their music is wonderfully diverse and they were a whimsically fun and jolly band who could blow you away with their supreme talents but do it with a wink because they were having fun too.
Truly, Led Zeppelin were all killer, no filler. Pick anything by them, and you'll find something to like.
I don't know better than Zepp, and I don't want to!!! ❤🥇👑 They are another dimension!!! 🌹💖🔥🙋🏻♀️
Man for man best band ever. ALL top
Musicians and plants voice is an instrument too
No one does it like Zeppelin!! RIP John Bonham! Best drummer ever!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Steal away now" "Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play why don't come with me baby" "Well they call me The Hunter, that's my name" " Cause I got you in the sight of my guuuuuuun"! Come on now. Jimmy's other "bow" song! Robert's wails. Top 5 studio cuts, for me!
THE GREATEST BAND EVER HANDSDOWN❤😊
There’s many things I love about this song, but above all I love that it’s like five different songs in one. An early Zeppelin masterpiece.
I remember when that album first came out and everyone was in awe.
In awe is the right word!
Started with the Beatles and the Doors but this first album was unlike anything before it. Just a jolt of lightning running through my body. Couldn’t get enough from then on
@@Capricornsrule Exactly. I really like the first 4 albums but the rest are meh.
@@kevingrady8736 that’s a shame. I would give Presence another try. It’s practically the only one I’ve listened to for a year now
@@Capricornsrule I've tried many times.
Greatest first album in rock history
Now that’s the way to end album #1 ,The next song we heard was Whole Lotta Love from album #2
Brother, I love this band you have no idea..😂 this song just shows their diversity
John Bonham is the greatest rock drummer I have heard in 70 years, no disrespect to Neal Peart or Keith Moon. But all of them left us too soon.
Have you checked out Danny Carrey of Tool? Just curious…I’m in my 70’s as well….I’m not saying Danny is better……but he’s a beast…just like Bonzo was.
Don't forget Bill Ward.
Mitch Mitchell
True
Zeppelin “Unmatched.”
The GREATEST band of all time...hands down!! Period, end of story 😂
I live in the country on the top of the hill I have a 4,000 watt stereo with 16 speakers and when I listen to led Zeppelin the whole valley listens to led Zeppelin
I wish I was your neighbor 😂
Already genius at such early ages. Best rock & roll band ever.

Perfectly said!
This songs gives all four players their moment. Awesome walking base line, obvious drum creativity, guitar solos, Plant just wailing and moaning. What a song.
I love JPJ's Bass in "Ramble On" too. Different style, so melodic. He and Bonzo made a brilliant rhythm section.
Sir, I never really put into words that “slow motion” singing style just growing up with it I guess it was just what it is. Awesome description!! ✌🏼👏🏼😎👍🏼🫡💯btw-my fav by them.
The music of my youth and why modern music leaves a lot to be desired
Fantastic song!!! Greatest band in history!! Watch this live in 1969! Jimmy uses the bo on this too!
Zeppelin does rule! Best band ever! Excellent song, awesome reaction!!!
And this was their debut. Plant and Bonhan only have 19 years! 19!! ¿Can you believe? Page and Jones 23!! Is crazy!! How many talent!❤❤❤❤❤
I believe Jones were 21.
Not 19. 20.

The Led Zeppelin songs I'm most looking forward to watching you experience are:
ROCK AND ROLL
You might expect that a Zeppelin song with this title rocks to the extreme. You'd be right.
BRING IT ON HOME
The Zep songs that feature Robert Plant playing harmonica are bluesy standouts for me.
TRAMPLED UNDER FOOT
This is the funkiest Zep song of them all. It's impossible to sit still through this song!
Keep on rocking, Polo!
The talent can't be matched 50 years later or a century later
Love the bass and drums keeping the groove going in this one while Jimmy and Robert do their thing
YAY! More Zeppelin!
Greatest Band Ever!
That track has the best performance from each musician , all at once ! You are right, it is 🔥
My favorite LZ song

“ They Call Me the Hunter” is from Little Milton- a great blues artist.
I’m totally jealous!
Good call, yes.....
Don’t forget Howling Wolf’s “How Many More Years”, Page and crew were obviously heavily influenced by him as well on this tune.
Polo your truthful appreciation and love for intense phenomenal music is a pure pleasure watching u dig Zeppelin has made me a huge new fan of yours.😊
Yeah, Zeppelin was probably the greatest band. So incredibly diverse, yet they were good at everything.
Love the fact that you're going through their catalog. So many people still listen to Led even today. They had so much influence on music.
And their listeners lives. Did for me... definitely allowed my inner mystical self to emerge at a young age.
Love watching you reacting to led zepplin and I want more please!

from 1969, over 50+ years old and I NEVER get tired of this song. I think their debut album is the GOAT! (as is LZ of course!)
Led Zeppelin is my all time favorite rock band! 🎸🥁🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
"Hammer of the God's" greatest rock band ever
" This track has a lot of horsepower.." "Would definitely give me a speeding ticket.." LOVE the way you express the way music makes you feel.
😊👌
One of my faves by them
‼️💯 🎸🎤🥁🪕LED ZEPPELIN IS THE GOAT 🐐 💯‼️
Love that you are listening to some of their early stuff.
There are ok bands, there are good bands, there are great bands and then there is Led Zeppelin (the GOAT).
One of my Favorite LZ songs!!! Not bad for a handful of twenty somethings!!
That's the Way
Imagine for a moment getting your hands on this in 1969 when the Flower Power movement was still in full force.
Now imagine listening to somebody these same insane Zeppelin tracks live while "experimenting" with the types of things that were common amongst rock fans at that point in time.
Mind blowing!
Led Zeppelin I is immaculate. It's the first one they made and the first one I reach for.
That and III
Love Zeppelin !
Thanks for your videos…love your passion and views…glad you love Led Zeppelin…the greatest band ever, cheers
Led Zeppelin is timeless! I bought this album 16 years after its debut.
Listen to D'yer Mak"er off their Houses of the Holy album. One of my personal faves.
While it was released in the US, and the single peaked at No. 20 on 29 December 1973, it was never released in the UK.
Thanks led
Thank You, Polo, for playing this one! It's been a while since I've listened to it & I forgot how much I love it! Yes, the drums are great!!! Believe it or not ... when I was 19 y/o I took drum lessons from my boyfriend at the time. That's when I found out I didn't have the coordination to be a drummer! I was crushed!😃
Greatest debut album full of energy that just jolted the music industry and my soul
Trust me on this, check it out. Led Zeppelin - "Bring It On Home (Live at The Royal Albert Hall 1970) [Official Video]"
The base line is hard, great song and one of my favorite LZ tracks. Sooo good.
I love it when Jimmy Page uses the bow! Great reaction ❤!
The power of Zeppelin, one of their strongest songs
I love Led Zepp. I just reheard a song from 1970 from a band called Quicksilver Messenger Service, a prolific FM mainstay of the 60's and 70's. It is a song that could have been written today and is proof that not all boomers are what some youngins think we are. The song is What You Going To Do About Me. Check it out.
Personally, I love their song, ‘Fresh Air’. Their musicianship on that song is pretty wild!
I never get tired of listening to Led Zeppelin. Their first 3 records are pure gold😊
The complexity of the composition is almost beyond belief. Required four genius level musicians to pull it off.

@@sicotshit7068 I'm not sure why I wrote Page...fixed.
The live version of this from the Danmark Radio show appearance in March of 1969 is outstanding.
John Bonham was the God of Thunder. If you want more Bonzo on the drums, check out the track, Moby Dick Live!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Insane talent!
It has to be the 20 minute version.
led zeppelin 1 and led zeppelin 2, both in 1969...the greatest start of career in the history of rock
This is one of Zeppelin's best.
One of my only regrets living on planet earth is growing up in the wrong time frame to have never seen Zepplin live!!!! Damnit!!!
Polo the line Plant sings 'They call me the hunter, that's my name' is from a track by the British band Free- 'The Hunter'. Great Blues Rock band, mates of Zeppelin, worth checking out
It's pronounced Bonam. He's the goat drummer, phenomenal. I love watching you hear them for the first time. It's great 🙂. Keep it up!
