Speaking of Bonham, that little riff of his during the finale is so powerful that it just shakes the Earth itself. The guy was a beast. I have yet to hear any opening to Rock and Roll that even comes close to that thunder that he produced.
Let me tell you pups how it went down in the 70's. Damned near every high school dance ended with stairway to heaven. You grabbed that lady you liked, and you slow danced to Stairway to Heaven, but when Jimmy Page kicked into his solo and the tempo kicked in, if that lady kept slow dancing with you, you had something going on!! But if she pushed away and started to fast dance? Well, enjoy your dance, cuz the night is coming to an end!! :) Play it again, imagine a lady you like, imagine she keeps her head on your shoulder as the rest of the gymnasium is rocking out!!!!! TRUTH!! Thanks for respecting the tunes of my day, even though it almost put you to sleep!! :) .
i think the same with free bird...in that 70s show too, when kelso and jackie dance to free bird at the prom, and the fast part kicks on and they keep slow dancing
There is a technique called "active listening"... Its different from regular listening. Musicians know what the difference is. When this guy says right when the song ends that the other guy was not listening... he means it. There's different types of listening... and it looks like 2 out of 4 here figured out the secret ;) Knowing how to ride the ride and go on the journey is often a skill in and of itself. Its an emotional vulnerability... Friends circles always have different types and that's ok. but, may you all get it one day. It's real special.
Yall gotta check out more of this bands music. Since I've been loving you Dazed and confused I cant quit you babe Kashmir In my time of dying You shook me Achilles last stand
I love watching reactions to vintage rock song like this one. This is a song that was so edgy when I was a kid... You'd be at a party and someone would put their big brother's Led Zep album on and everyone started vibing... getting wasted and talking about deep shit,, feelin all grown up hahaha good times You guys all started head banging at the same time in the video (5:25). Imagine if you'd never heard music like this before, and how much it would affect you, like it's some mystical magical fantasy - that's what it was like for me & still is.
I was reading your comments and saw something about "black reactors" (I assume they meant you) but I just wanted you to know I couldn't care less if you were purple or beige or iridescent green because this is all about the music. There's even a lyric in this song you're reacting to that speaks to this: "And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last WHEN ALL ARE ONE AND ONE IS ALL To be a rock and not to roll." I interpret that lyric using the universal meaning that "All is One". That the same basic essence permeates everything that exists. And only having "compassion" for those who are in your in-group, and then vilifying or even becoming violent toward those who you perceive as the out-group, is not only antithetical to world peace more broadly, but is also counter-productive to political progress that advances the greater good of all humans on this planet. It's weird how this comment is sounding like a #BlackLivesMatter rant - because I didn't intend it that way. But I think that sums up the basis for the #BLM philosophy that equality is a fundamental right, and that everyone deserves to be treated with compassion and fairness (especially by those in positions of power). I hope your eyeballs aren't bleeding from reading this 😆
This was the number one rock song every year, for years, when we grew up listening to Zeppelin. I'm guessing it is still regarded as that. Led Zeppelin is considered rock royalty. I'll bet you all know this band, but wasn't aware of it. Thor: Ragnarok. Immigrant Song. Listen to it, and if you saw the movie, you will have an "Aha" moment. We listened to it for decades before they put it in a movie.
This band is renowned for their live performances. Almost every track they played live was better than the studio recording. Now you’ve done the studio version of Stairway check out the live version performed at Madison Square Garden in 1973 and you’ll see what I mean - enjoy!!
Jay W. : I disagree that Zep was better live. They were masterful in the studio, i saw them live twice . Whenever i listen to them it's always their studio albums. Just my opinion music is subjective.
I too agree with Cesar. Studio is much better than live. Studio they had so much instrumentation that when they played live there were only 4 of them and they could not recreate all the extra instrumentation.
@@toddtoho3606 Most bands were better in the studio, with a few exceptions that i saw. The Allman Bros when Duane was still alive. The J Geils band. George Thorogood n Cheap Trick
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and I have to disagree. Robert Plant's live vocals unfortunately weren't up to par with everything before mid 1972. The version on How the West Was Won a much better performance, and definitely the best official release.
Tbh though this is my opinion, very iconic moment for Led Zeppelin, that's also the only reason why when someone talks about MSG they always come to my mind. It's everyone's likings guys.
@@BilliamBillion How the West Was Won is Zeppelin at their peak, according to Jimmy Page. Although I love The Song Remains the Same due to the DVD, there's no denying that musically they were much sharper on How the West Was Won.
At first I didn't think ya'll would really listen to the song. Thumbs up ya'll ,listen to more Led Zeppelin. Amazing group, amazing MUSCIANS!!!!! Can actually sing and play REAL instruments! Wow! Who knew? Guess people my age lol!!!!
This is the Best Band Ever!!! Can't go wrong with any of their songs.....all Classic Hits from the 60's 70's......to today and in the 100 years to come! The Classics will be around For Ever, a lot of the new stuff is here now....forgotten tomorrow
Thank you for your honest review and not some BS I see on so many other reaction channels. ❤ You got a subscriber in me. The four of you made me smile just for being you.
The volume and intensity just got a little louder and a little louder until they built it to an epic scream. So perfectly paced and extremely difficult to do. Their musicality is so spot on! They have many songs with very strong beats, then they'll switch it up with another great one in the same song. This is one of the things that they are known for and is what attracted my ear right off the bat. You may even recognize a couple of them, they are that iconic. This is just one song. A slow one that has become the symbol of Zep but their is so much more to them than you could know. Try: When the Levee Breaks, The Ocean, The Crunge, Kashmir (studio recordings) Keep Listening!
To truly experience the rock from the 60’s and 70’s you need to use headphones...you’ll be amazed how the music alternates between left and right headphones.
React to Black Dog from Led Zeppelin. Also, the band Heart played this song at the Kennedy Center Honors, in front of Led Zeppelin; had them in tears. Led Zep’s drummer’s son was playing for that performance and they had a full choir behind them. Absolutely amazing performance!
Great Reaction Fellas!! Amazing that after all this Time, this song can Still Mesmerize a first time Audience! With both lyrics, and gradual rise in the Melody, it takes you on an 8 min. Journey on how be a Rock, and not to Roll!!🎶
Now, Check out Heart's 2012 tribute of "Stairway To Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors. At the time, they were 62 and 58 and blew the House down! Only Ann Wilson could do it justice with The President, The First Lady and Led Zeppelin in the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - NO PRESSURE AT ALL!
Amazing you guys took time for this classic. Notice this song hits every one differenty and personally with every listen. These musicians blended classical music, hard rock,blues and poetry,the genius was in the message for that time. Check out some of the later material they were rapping in the 70's .
I know this reaction is 3 years old, if you haven’t listened to the live from Madison Square Gardens (1973) I highly suggest it. It’s even better, plus the guitar solo is longer & considered the greatest guitar solo. These 4 guys are each the GOATS of their craft, & together the GODS of music. They only have 1 or 2 songs that aren’t favorites, they play Rock Blues Folk Funk Reggae etc. they’ve influenced musicians of today. The lead guitarist Jimmy Page played guitar of one of their songs with Diddy. Lives at Madison Square Garden are the best from (1973). I hope you guys decide to check out more, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
This is for the Losers Club, some of the lyrics in Stairway to Heaven (O'Jays did Stairway to Heaven, different song) in case U were not listening states "there are 2 paths U can go on; U still have time to change the road U are on".. W.G.
Great song.written in a secluded cottage near where my home town is in wales the United kingdom.the lead singer Robert plant used to drink with my dad.a really tidy guy he is.
Great reaction! Studio cuts are the way to introduce yourself to Led Zeppelin (and other acts before the 80s), so good choice. When you get to 80s music, music videos are the way to go. Of course there are exceptions to these rules. For example, "Peter Frampton Comes Alive" is a live album and Stevie Ray Vaughn you can intro yourself with live videos, because well... he's Stevie Ray Vaughn 🎧 💓 🎶
Your the first reaction that has commented on the building of the music during the song👍the song is written as a stairway while it sings about one. A fact a lot of people miss
There's so many other great Zeppelin songs to watch but you should also watch the live version from Madison Square Garden in NY and the live version that the band Heart does at the Kennedy Center with Led Zeppelin in the crowd watching.
Great reactions gents!!! If ya get a chance... The live version of Stairway to Heaven.. circa 1973 in Madison Square Garden is amazing... One of the best live versions i've ever seen... It captures Zep at their apex....
This doesn't need any remix, it's timeless. If people want to be able to listen quality... They need to get their heads out of the box! This music united so many generations, cultures, races they all came together to listen pieces like this. Music in the 20th century really changed the game.
Hey guys, appreciate what you’re doing. Listening to a broad range of music expands your mind and introduces new ideas. What can you learn from 3 white guys from the UK? How about taking a simple beautiful, simple song and building it into an epic masterpiece. Being able to recognize the beauty of lyrics about a woman who knew she was dying and building a stairway to heaven. What I appreciate about you guys is you’re prepared to listen, to give it a shot, but you’re OK having different opinions about how you felt about the song. It’s totally OK to feel different to the guy next to you, and totally OK to have those feelings at different levels of intensity - that’s what makes us human. Please keep it up - add Bach, Bowie , Willie Nelson, Elvis and B,B. King - whoever is put in front of you. These are artiste and nobody is better than the other, but each one can expand your mind and make you a better musician, a better man at the end of the day. Love you’all and keep doing what you do.
Led Zeppelin is the name of the band, not a person.
Singer: Robert Plant
Guitar: Jimmy Page
Bass: John Paul Jones
Drums: John Bonham
Yh that annoyed me
LOL!!
Speaking of Bonham, that little riff of his during the finale is so powerful that it just shakes the Earth itself. The guy was a beast. I have yet to hear any opening to Rock and Roll that even comes close to that thunder that he produced.
The GOD of drums ..John Bonham thank you
Check out Dread Zeppelin. It's Led Zeppelin with an Elvis impersonator on lead vocals, inna Reggae stylee.
Much, much better than it sounds on paper.
Let me tell you pups how it went down in the 70's. Damned near every high school dance ended with stairway to heaven. You grabbed that lady you liked, and you slow danced to Stairway to Heaven, but when Jimmy Page kicked into his solo and the tempo kicked in, if that lady kept slow dancing with you, you had something going on!!

TRUTH!!
Thanks for respecting the tunes of my day, even though it almost put you to sleep!! :) .
I knew a guy that killed himself to this song... that's powerful...
@EvilHero I hear you bro..
i think the same with free bird...in that 70s show too, when kelso and jackie dance to free bird at the prom, and the fast part kicks on and they keep slow dancing
Not everywhere… nonetheless almost perfect song
The true test of the total greatness of this song showed itself when the music started. The clowning stopped and the listening took over.
This song speeds up as it goes along. One of the greatest songs of all time.
...." When all are one and one is all ".... This is a song of hope
Gentlemen....these are the GOATs.
The second Robert plant started singing-SILENCE 😂
Led Zeppelin is the great rock/blues band if you like great beats check out When the Levee Breaks. They have so many epic songs in their catalog.
Back in the day, you rolled a number, got mellow. Put your headphones on and enjoyed the ride.
WOW I FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS SONG IS 🥰🇬🇧
Not everyone looked like they were fully digging it...but the respect ALL of you showed 😎 Pure GentleMEN!
I think they appreciated it, even if it's not their ultimate sound
There is a technique called "active listening"... Its different from regular listening. Musicians know what the difference is.
When this guy says right when the song ends that the other guy was not listening... he means it. There's different types of listening... and it looks like 2 out of 4 here figured out the secret ;)
Knowing how to ride the ride and go on the journey is often a skill in and of itself. Its an emotional vulnerability...
Friends circles always have different types and that's ok.
but, may you all get it one day. It's real special.
Nicely said!
“Your pupils were dilated bro” 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta watch them live to appreciate their greatness, brothers.
You all really should check out Dazed And Confused. It’s crazyyyy
dope movie too
Yall gotta check out more of this bands music.
Since I've been loving you
Dazed and confused
I cant quit you babe
Kashmir
In my time of dying
You shook me
Achilles last stand
What about Communication Breakdown?
And Immigrant song, Whole Lotta Love
Great song, try Dazed and confused by Led Zeppelin.
live is much better
I liked how you guys were all messing around but within 30seconds the music just made you STFU and listen,it takes you deep in your own mind. 👌
When the Levee Breaks!
I love watching reactions to vintage rock song like this one. This is a song that was so edgy when I was a kid... You'd be at a party and someone would put their big brother's Led Zep album on and everyone started vibing... getting wasted and talking about deep shit,, feelin all grown up hahaha good times

I get like that sober with Kashmir
Stairway to Heaven, the stoner national anthem, back in the day.

I'll bet you all know this band, but wasn't aware of it. Thor: Ragnarok. Immigrant Song. Listen to it, and if you saw the movie, you will have an "Aha" moment. We listened to it for decades before they put it in a movie.
Led Zeppelin is one of those bands in which their music will not fade out with time.
Song is legendary...yes 8 min...but listen too the words. Tears..moving from this life to the next. Powerful.
This band is renowned for their live performances. Almost every track they played live was better than the studio recording. Now you’ve done the studio version of Stairway check out the live version performed at Madison Square Garden in 1973 and you’ll see what I mean - enjoy!!

How great is this. Goin'. back 40 yrs. Thank you, thankyou
50 years.
Treat yourself lads with the live version at Madison Square Garden it's the best!
Jack Bauer the MSG solo does!
@Jack Bauer for you maybe...
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and I have to disagree. Robert Plant's live vocals unfortunately weren't up to par with everything before mid 1972. The version on How the West Was Won a much better performance, and definitely the best official release.

Awesome seeing you guys getting into it ....listen to Since I've Been Loving You and When the Levee Breaks
Song has a build up, like climbing a stairway...
Y'all gave it an honest listen, no matter what you think of it, just doing that earns you respect.
At first I didn't think ya'll would really listen to the song. Thumbs up ya'll ,listen to more Led Zeppelin. Amazing group, amazing MUSCIANS!!!!! Can actually sing and play REAL instruments! Wow! Who knew? Guess people my age lol!!!!
I love that moment when all heads bob in sync. Forever listening to 60s-80s
This is the Best Band Ever!!! Can't go wrong with any of their songs.....all Classic Hits from the 60's 70's......to today and in the 100 years to come! The Classics will be around For Ever, a lot of the new stuff is here now....forgotten tomorrow
Love that y’all actually sat down and listened to the song as opposed to pausing it every 10 seconds so you could actually enjoy it
Thank you for your honest review and not some BS I see on so many other reaction channels. ❤ You got a subscriber in me. The four of you made me smile just for being you.
That song just put's you in a trance it's just constantly climbing"a beautiful piece of music🎸

It's awesome how ya'll genuinely give it a chance to feel it...a timeless melody,for sure~
😄LOL@ "I had a dream like this once..."
Or Dazed and Confused
This a perfect moment for you to remember when your older when you ear this for the first time with who, and what each of you feel
To truly experience the rock from the 60’s and 70’s you need to use headphones...you’ll be amazed how the music alternates between left and right headphones.

This song by LX Live from MSG. Must see. Incredible performance
You all were listening to the song so intently I thought we might have lost you. You have to do more Zepplin- there is something for everyone
When I was young obviously we smoked and would mellow out to it
I LOVE THE HONEST REACTION
One thing to remember, Robert Plant was 22/23 when he wrote these lyrics.
And probably ever so slightly under the influence.
I love these lyrics. Beautiful poetry.
Number one song of all time...period.Great review,men.
When listening to Led zeppelin live is better anything from 1970 to 1975
Loved the Reaction. You know I'm a Fan.You guys know what you like. That's all.
Now, Check out Heart's 2012 tribute of "Stairway To Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors. At the time, they were 62 and 58 and blew the House down! Only Ann Wilson could do it justice with The President, The First Lady and Led Zeppelin in the audience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - NO PRESSURE AT ALL!
Love how they sat there and actually listed to the words
The greatest Rock Band of all time and the most selled in Rock History!
You shook me and Since I’ve been loving you are must listen.
The guitar work is a masterpiece!!!!
greatest song of all time IMO
Masterpiece.
Amazing you guys took time for this classic. Notice this song hits every one differenty and personally with every listen. These musicians blended classical music, hard rock,blues and poetry,the genius was in the message for that time. Check out some of the later material they were rapping in the 70's .
Headphonse are a must. Just sayn'

First timer, I liked it. Cheers from canada.
great reaction man....subbed

Ya gotta watch it live!!
Geez what a great song
The song‘Stairways To Heaven’, was written about Somerset Belenoff cousin to Queen Elizabeth.
The dude in the black Nike shirt seemed to dig it the most. Good work man

Time to get the Led out!🎵🎵🎵
Great classical composer/conductor Horowitz said that this piece of music is one of the most perfect he'd ever heard...
Please do Whole Lotta Love
Btw this is considered the greatest song of all time
I mean thats opinion obviously you can't define music like that but hey
This song. Was over played from the moment it cameout. Never one of my favorites
Great reactions gents!!! If ya get a chance... The live version of Stairway to Heaven.. circa 1973 in Madison Square Garden is amazing... One of the best live versions i've ever seen... It captures Zep at their apex....
Also Kennedy Centre....
tea for one is such an amazing song as well.
I very much appreciated you keeping the chat minimised during the actual music.
love to bros headbangin
Respect
You guys should check out Black Dog by them. Its one of their more popular songs
You’ve gotta do the live version guys. It’s incredible!
Subbed - and funny name!
This doesn't need any remix, it's timeless. If people want to be able to listen quality... They need to get their heads out of the box! This music united so many generations, cultures, races they all came together to listen pieces like this. Music in the 20th century really changed the game.
Reaction crew. I like it.
Very respectful .. good job guys ~ 😘
GOAT
Hey guys, appreciate what you’re doing. Listening to a broad range of music expands your mind and introduces new ideas. What can you learn from 3 white guys from the UK? How about taking a simple beautiful, simple song and building it into an epic masterpiece. Being able to recognize the beauty of lyrics about a woman who knew she was dying and building a stairway to heaven. What I appreciate about you guys is you’re prepared to listen, to give it a shot, but you’re OK having different opinions about how you felt about the song. It’s totally OK to feel different to the guy next to you, and totally OK to have those feelings at different levels of intensity - that’s what makes us human. Please keep it up - add Bach, Bowie , Willie Nelson, Elvis and B,B. King - whoever is put in front of you. These are artiste and nobody is better than the other, but each one can expand your mind and make you a better musician, a better man at the end of the day. Love you’all and keep doing what you do.
And as we wind on down the road…… Our shadows taller than our souls… Y’all be Trippin
This should be made Live!!!
Good job fellas
Get the led out fellas!! 🤘🙏✌
You should watch or react to "Heart" singing this song --as a tribute to Led Zepplin--at The Kennedy Center Honors. It was awesome!
