In 100 years, there'll be a young dude just like you, feeling that Zeppelin magic working it's way into his soul, and in 1000 years there'll be a young dude just like you... Some music is and will continue to be timeless.
The 60’s,70’s and 80’s were an absolute blast. I thank God I was born in ‘54 and soaked the whole wonderful era into my DNA. Great time to be alive. By the way,I saw Hendrix’s last live public appearance in 1970.
OK , I have to make a comment since this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. You guys do a great job. Nice to see you guys appreciate old folks music Lol.✌️
LZ II was the first LZ album I bought. I was 14 and it was October of 1969. And I listened to that magical album with a pair of Koss over-the-ear headphones on.
These 2 Progressive Rock (Prog. Rock) Classics Are Perfect For You & Alivia To React To Together,, Emerson,, Lake & Palmer "From The Beginning" & Yes "Roundabout"...TRUST ME!!
Look at BIG Silas the young man is singing the lyrics , just like he is the authority... I love it.... I pray and hope you and all of your family is blessed....
The use of fade outs in older music maybe because of the time limits on a vinyl album side, by fading out the songs you get a little more wiggle room when compiling the tracks or maybe song endings hadn’t been invented yet. Great reaction.
The faded ends were more likely the recording engineer's idea. The album "Led Zeppelin II" was the first time working with recording engineer Eddie Kramer he had worked on some big records already, and those endings make it sound more polished. Which I'm sure the record company liked that.
You gotta understand guys that THIS is what we did for fun, there were no distractions like phones, video games and other things. We used to go to the record store (look it up) for hours and hang, bands would do album signings and other live appearances, sometimes play a set, WE would wait in line all night for a new release like they do now for a new iphone....iPhone..... Ah good times
Glad you two are listening. I'm 56 years old. My son is about to turn 19. You are a bit like my bud and son. You listen carefully and appreciate. Keep up the good work.
I worked weekends as a DJ at my hometown radio station for a couple of years in the mid-70's. As such, and because I like segues, I paid attention to the beginnings and endings of songs. I liked to sequence songs I played on the air to sort of flow together, rather than abruptly changing style. How I did that depended on if it was a cold ending, or a fade out. Or, as was mentioned, a fade out that returns in a few seconds. Anyway, based on that experience, I can say that, at least for the records I had available for airplay, it was a largely 50-50 mix of endings. Fadeouts do seem more common on single release mixes, however.
It's not clear what Bonham played to make that sound. Some drummers say it sounds like he's drumming on a plastic garbage pail, others say it was a guitar case, maybe his seat. I think it sounds like he was drumming on either a guitar case or his seat. Glad you enjoyed "Ramble On", Alivia. :) Edit: I just read an article I hadn't seen before and yet another drummer said he might have been playing that bit on a practice pad. 🤷 Apparently, none of the guys ever said.
Not sure on that,if you have a guitar case try it!John started out banging on his mum's pots and pans as a youngin' ! mum brought his first drum set,...😉
@@justinatest9456 ,yes it does,can find anything one way or another,..friend of mine(a drummer) tried it on a guitar case,which were made of cardboard at the time,...
In the Beatles’ catalog you”ll find many, if not most, songs have a definitive ending. It was hallmark of their more sophisticated writing. But yes, most songs in general faded out.
It has always sounded to me like Bonzo is either using his sticks on something padded…like a padded seat, or practice pad, or using his hands on something
I always like watching peoples reactions to Led Zeppelin, I’m 69 years young and still listen to them every week. Went and seen them live when I was about 16 in south Florida. I was right up front and it was amazing. Hope you and your girlfriend continue to react to many more songs together.
Just a reminder they only had 8 tracks to record with in those days . Only Abbey Road by the the Beatles had an 8 track studio to work with . All their previous albums were done using 4 tracks . Amazing ! Some of the Zeppelin albums were recorded at Headley Grange a Fsrm estate in the country . They would record in stairwells, closets , bathrooms to get a particular sound . Jimmy had a lot of experience as a session musician before being in a band . He would ask the the engineers endless questions to get a tone . He would fiddle and experiment to get what he wanted . He produced all their albums .There is a excellent interview with him at Oxford Union we’re he talks about this . Worth a listen definitely. S
I'm so glad your notifications are finally coming up for me,I love watching you guys. I saw Zeppelin in 69 I've always thought there 1st album is the best ever, that was a good Pink Floyd song, but I'm dying for you to see Comfortably Numb from Pulse concert, it's Considered one of the best guitar solos ever, also Sorrow or anything from that concert is phenomenal 😍
I think the reason for the fade instead of sharp end to songs is because of how we listen to music. Back then you are listen to vinyl and its much harder to pick a specific song and listen to just that. So songs tend to blend into the next on the album much more. Now every song is an individual piece. People listen to particular songs way more then albums, so the whole experience is aimed towards a self contained piece.
Nice reaction guys! It's so great to watch someone experience these songs for the first time. I grew up in the '60s and '70s with bands like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones, Beatles - there was so much great music back then. I encourage you guys to explore some of these other bands as well. However, I'm not one of those folks who think there is no good music these days. I'd like to suggest you explore a band from Finland called Nightwish. They are a Symphonic Metal group that was formed in the 90's and in my opinion belongs in the company of the bands I mentioned from my youth. They are unbelievable in live performance and I would recommend checking out "Ghost Love Score" from their 2013 live performance at Wacken Open Air Festival - link: ua-cam.com/video/L21dXQMNOQs/v-deo.html I think you'll enjoy them - your dad will too!
Regarding the fading volume at the end of most songs of that era... You have to remember that most people heard songs on the radio back then and the DJ had to have a way of knowing when one song was ending so he/she could be ready to start the next one. The extended fade out provided that cue.
Hey guys, at this videos mark of 3:45, if you've seen the movie, Lord of the Rings, in this song Robert Plant (singer) talks about the "Depths of Mordor" and then mentions "Gollum". FYI...
It’s an ode to JRR Tolkien’s metaverse..and divine. Built on the platform of good ol’ miss delta..it all comes together with Mr. Bonzo’s wallop-induced pounding.
FYI: the title shows this recording as being a 1990 Remaster. Be that as it may - it was originally released in 1969. Which means nothing except that I was 17 when it came out, not 38. And that music hit my 17-year-old brain like a sock full of wet sand. I have always loved "Ramble On". Along with pretty much everything else Led Zeppelin recorded.
I remember reading a long time ago that John Bonham was playing with his hands on a copy of the book Silas Marner. Don't know if that's true, always remembered it for whatever reason.
The tapping is John Bonham beating ln a plastic drum in the foyer of Jimmy Page's house. Maybe my fave Led song. At athe newspaper I used to work at we would ask celebrities, like touring rock stars, what they were reading and othe rquestions. Ace Frehely of Kiss said he was reading Lord of the Rings so he could understand Led Ze;ppelin better. True story. This may be my fave Led song.
It's Time For You & Alivia To React To Something A Little Different & Just Plain Fun,, Mungo Jerry "In The Summertime" (Watching The Video For This Classic Is A MUST!!)
Kids today don't understand what it was like then...all we had was FM radio if we were lucky...and a record store in the mall. We would buy an album...$10 then....but that's half a day's wage. Bring it home. Call up our friends...sit around the Pioneer turntable, Marantz reciever and JBL speakers...light up...and become enlightened. Music then....was what the internet is today. It brought people together. We'd talk music...chicks...cars...chicks...how high we were...and chicks. Songs meant nothing. Album sides were everything
It sucks cuz you want this song to go until they stop playing. I’ve actually heard the cold ending to this song, and it’s OUTSTANDING; I wish someone would react to the full version.
The percussion at the beginning is the drummer ( the late great Bonham) tapping his sticks on Page's guitar case. Great vid guys
Been listening to this since 1970. Had no idea. Thaks
No sticks. Just his bare hands.
@@frankmarsh1159 correctomundo yes just his bare hands
Playing with his hands on Page’s guitar case!
Nothing warms my heart more than watching young people like yourselves listening to bands like Led Zeppelin.
In 100 years, there'll be a young dude just like you, feeling that Zeppelin magic working it's way into his soul, and in 1000 years there'll be a young dude just like you... Some music is and will continue to be timeless.
Another Zeppelin banger!!! You can’t ever go wrong with them. Never just a song, more like a musical experience!!!
The 60’s,70’s and 80’s were an absolute blast.
I thank God I was born in ‘54 and soaked the whole wonderful era into my DNA.
Great time to be alive.
By the way,I saw Hendrix’s last live public appearance in 1970.
Amazing, Hendrix was another level.
Wish I saw cousin Jimi;s last show.
That really was an interesting time for great music.
As with a few lyricists around the late 60's & 70's the works of Tolkien were a big influence. One of my favourite tunes off Led Zep 2.
“Hi Olivia!” Another one of their best songs. Great choice! Wait until she hears THE RAIN SONG.
Hearing this song for the FIRST TIME must be awesome! I've heard it ten thousand times and still dig it.
That's John Bonham, human metronome
The bass line here is entrancing - absolutely must have it in the mix this way in this track!
I love to hear ANY and EVERY Zeppelin song!!
OK , I have to make a comment since this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. You guys do a great job. Nice to see you guys appreciate old folks music Lol.✌️
First album I ever bought!👌❤
LZ II was the first LZ album I bought. I was 14 and it was October of 1969. And I listened to that magical album with a pair of Koss over-the-ear headphones on.
best LOTR referencing song ever.
She definitely should hear Babe Im Gonna Leave You if she didnt already.
I’ll say it again...THE GOATS! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
These 2 Progressive Rock (Prog. Rock) Classics Are Perfect For You & Alivia To React To Together,, Emerson,, Lake & Palmer "From The Beginning" & Yes "Roundabout"...TRUST ME!!
It’s not from 1990, it’s from 1969. They simply cleaned it up digitized it in 1990.
After years of hearing this, I finally honed in on JPJ’s wonderful baseline through the whole song with its own melody
same!!
Music Fades out because of Radio.
As one song subsides, the DJ starts another song to take over. Very common back in the day!
Look at BIG Silas the young man is singing the lyrics , just like he is the authority... I love it.... I pray and hope you and all of your family is blessed....

It’s not the 1990 version🤨 it’s just remixed! Which means cleaned up, no enhancement! They remove all the back round noise! LIVE! My man!
YES
the fade off is good for radio which was the primary broadcasting method. during the fadeout the DJ can do zir thing.
Great music never dies, it just fades away…….
One of their best songs. I love it 👌💞

This song is about Frodo from 'The Lord of the Rings',.///FYI

It sounds way more present in the remaster for some reason
@@justinatest9456 ,yes it does,can find anything one way or another,..friend of mine(a drummer) tried it on a guitar case,which were made of cardboard at the time,...
What’s a garbage pail?
Did you mean a bin?
@@TheCornishCockney Yep. Garbage pail, can, bin.
I've read that the tapping during the intro was John Bonham tapping on a guitar case?
that's the best guessd we've gotten but we don't know for sure....
@@ravenwind1062 I actually thought it was tapping on the hollow body of an acoustic guitar!
That is what I heard too
amazing watching you kids grooving to these tracks from my youth 50+ years ago!! Super cool that you dig it. Dang, where did the time go?
In the Beatles’ catalog you”ll find many, if not most, songs have a definitive ending. It was hallmark of their more sophisticated writing. But yes, most songs in general faded out.
And they still do today.
One of my favorite songs along with Bring it On Home and Over the Hills and Far Away.
It has always sounded to me like Bonzo is either using his sticks on something padded…like a padded seat, or practice pad, or using his hands on something
In my time of dying and in the light are great ones
"Moby Dick "....awesome song....great drum solo!

It’s the drummer.
Ha brilliant. Just got home from singing this song to myself all day at work only to find your next reaction....! Super cool :)

Led Zeppelin is my Utmost favorite. They spoke volumes!!
Always loved this, was a standout for me on a fantastic album Zep 2

Saw the mighty Zep way back. 67 now good to young people listening to Zep
Again with the black Camaro. You’re killing me this morning with the memories. Led Zep. Sweet memories. ✌🏻❤️from Texas

Loved watching your facial expressions Silas, this song brings it out. New subscriber.
This is my favourite Zepp song. John Paul Jones' bass at it's finest, too.
Have a wonderful trip in Zeppelin land!! Classic Zep sound!
Hey guys, at this videos mark of 3:45, if you've seen the movie, Lord of the Rings, in this song Robert Plant (singer) talks about the "Depths of Mordor" and then mentions "Gollum". FYI...
Nice nod to Dexy and the Midnight Riders(sp?)! Their keyboardist was Vincent Crane from Atomic Rooster. Random things😂
Ramble On, Alivia and Silas!
It’s an ode to JRR Tolkien’s metaverse..and divine. Built on the platform of good ol’ miss delta..it all comes together with Mr. Bonzo’s wallop-induced pounding.
Now, when you're in the car with your grandparents, you can put on the "oldies" station and crank up the volume! They'll love you for it!
That tapping is Bonzo lightly doing taps on the side of the head (very lightly). Led Zep is all about DYNAMICS in force and volume.
Come on Eileen was in the next generation (about 12 years later after this song)
Not true.
Definetely my second favorite Zepsong.
one of the best bass lines ever!
There are lots of songs from the era that don't fade off. You just haven't heard them. Stairway to Heaven, to name but one.
I'm not sure myself what Bonham was tapping on at the beginning of the song. I was told it might be a guitar case, but that info might be wrong.
Summery vibe is perfect for all Zeppelin songs imho.
FYI: the title shows this recording as being a 1990 Remaster. Be that as it may - it was originally released in 1969. Which means nothing except that I was 17 when it came out, not 38. And that music hit my 17-year-old brain like a sock full of wet sand.
I have always loved "Ramble On". Along with pretty much everything else Led Zeppelin recorded.
That sound at the beginning comes from slapping in the wood of the guitar with an open palm
Damn good pick for getting into LeDZeP. .It has a great mystique sound ,a true late in the evening night time song
My favorite zep song. Can relate to it.
Fading out is perhaps a relic or recording for radio play.
Please do OVER THE HILLS FAR AWAY next by Led Zepplin
Back in the day I had a $300 car with a $400 stereo in it and every Zep tape you could get.
"A summery vibe?" Clearly it's about the fall!
I remember reading a long time ago that John Bonham was playing with his hands on a copy of the book Silas Marner. Don't know if that's true, always remembered it for whatever reason.
1:04 Bonzo (the drummer) was playing the beat on a guitar case
While It's True That Many Songs From This Time Period Fade Out At The End,, Not All Do,, There Are Many Songs That Have An Abrupt Stop/Ending.
Love the Butterfly Shirt so cool

Childhood grooves
sometimes Bonham used his fingers and his hands,you cut a very important solo in the middle
The fade is just a smooth recording exit.
Listen to Zapparella ("Ramble On" and MORE OTHERSSSSSSS)!
