My favorite Zeppelin track. What carries me away here is the way John Paul Jones' gorgeous mandolin playing dovetails so perfectly with Page's hypnotic droning rhythm on guitar!
I know it's been commented about "Going to California" is Robert Plants love letter to the beautiful goddess, "Joni Mitchell" a little story about Joni's reaction to Taylor Swift wanting to do a movie as her playing Joni. Joni said and I'm paraphrasing, " Yeah, I can see it, the high cheek bones, beautiful, yada yada yada, it's a shame she can't sing" I love Joni I love Led Zeppelin.
From “The Independent (2/11/15)” here’s what Joni Mitchell actually said about Taylor Swift playing her in a biopic: Mitchell admitted to stalling the project last November when she claimed to have “squelched” plans, but when asked again recently about being played by Swift, she still had more to say. “I’ve never heard Taylor’s music,” Mitchell said, according to New York Magazine. “I’ve seen her. Physically, she looks similarly small-hipped and high cheekbones. I can see why cast her. “I don’t know what her music sounds like, but I do know this - that if she’s going to sing and play me, good luck.”
Who the heck liked the comment where the toad said I was lying. That's pretty odd to make something like that up. Also. A kind person researched the article. Now. Say your sorry humbly or be damned with nothing but Taylor Swift for your listening for eternity.
@@iwanbottos5128 LOL, well it’s a reaction video, so yes, there’s talking. You can watch the original if you prefer. And yes, I like the performance and the reaction.
This album was released in 11/71, a month before I was born. My older brother gave me Led Zeppelin IV for Christmas in '81. Changed my life. I was hooked.
All of their songs creates this emotional story or feeling. Everything from this song to stairway to heaven to when the levee breaks to black dog to the lemon song. They were masters of their craft and the world loved them for it. Plus this song makes me want to get a hot cup of tea and sit back and cuddle with a loved one while it's playing.
Honestly, ive heard this a dozen times...i just now paid attention to those grace notes JPJ was doing. He really was the bow that wrapped up Zepp. So damn good and so damn underrated.
Best band ever. The first time I saw Zeppelin was 1969 70 in N.Y at the Fillmore East in New York plus all 3 night's at the Madison Square Garden 1973. Saw them around 12 times.😊😊😊😊
The great thing about this, is that it’s not auto tuned or auto pitched….it is what it is and it’s truthful. Robert has such a great rock voice,but also such a soulful voice that just pulls you in….and he’s a great lyricist for rock and roll. He’s my fav of all time. Zeppelin music will live on forever. Cheers✌️
Haven’t seen you in a while. Glad you did this one. It’s amazing they can move effortlessly from whole lot of love to Going to California. Thank you. To Led Zeppelin,and you. Gold.
I was born in '85 and when I discovered Zeppelin I was immediately saddened. I would never be able to see these legends live. I was lucky enough to see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss when they were touring, but seeing Zeppelin would have been a major bucket list achievement.
Friend of mine was in a record store in Nashville a couple of years ago talking to the owner about rockabilly. He said this older guy with long hair and a beard came up and joined in the conversation. After a few minutes he realized it was Robert Plant. The three of them spent a good while just talking music.
Plant is a massive Elvis fan and he likes to bring in his tones here and there. They all met him in Vegas back in the 70’s when Elvis invited them to his penthouse and they talked music and even sang a few tunes.
oh my God, reacting to the greatest rock band ever I absolutely love your expressions your voice… your depiction of the song and of course your beauty , LOVE IT !!!!!! ❤
I love your descriptive phrasing. I have been a LZ fan since '69, and it's wonderful for people like you to help get their music out to the younger generations. Plus, you are absolutely beautiful.
I saw Plant and Page in concert in 1997 (Albany NY, Walking Into Clarksdale album tour). The first 3 songs they did, were from their new album. Robert exclaimed, "By contract with our record label, we must play at least 3 of the new songs,..........let's get them out of the way so we can really have some fun'..." After the 3 songs (not bad) the ripped into 150 minutes of straight on Led Zeppelin. It will always be the best show I will ever see. I am not religious in any way, but I did feel as though I was in the presence of gods that day.
He was brilliant and in rock metal genre the other that comes to mind is Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Jeff Tate of Queensryche, the Steelheart lead singer but Plant was an OG for sure
I remember telling a friend, many years ago, that the magic of LZ was that Robert Plant could make his voice sound like Jimmy Page's guitar work and visa versa.
"Going To California" is one of those ethereal introspective acoustic numbers that's best experienced when you're riding on a Greyhound bus in the middle of a rainy afternoon. The mandolin sounds always seems to mimic the sight of rain rolling down the windows and vice versa... The inflection in Robert's voice when he sings the line "spent my days with a woman unkind" never fails to give me chills...
@@rvaChallenge you to be the first (?) to check out Claire Daines; LONG TIME DYIN! ( Live in Joe's studio) A INCREDIBLE blues lady. Seen comments from Russia, Sweden and Spain as well as US and UK!! This particular song she goes All Out!! Great Chaaa No you Cawk knee gal!! ☮️
You make a good point of music you will never tire of. Those of us that grew up in this era and collected music accordingly listen to what can be best described as you also put it, to the magic and memory from time to time because you carry it within you, you listen, remember and yet rediscover it all over again. Thank you.
So good to see someone of your generation discover what made our era so incredible. I would not swap my 60's and 70's days of youth for anything this generation can offer, and Led Zeppelin were a HUGE part of that incredible time. They are what led me to follow a now 50 year career in music, rock initially and then blues and blues rock. Zeppelin are the ultimate band of all time and nobody has, nor ever will, match them.
I didn't like that they didn't do a reunion, but I really respected it. Every single individual on that stage is considered the peak for their roles AND came together in such beautiful harmony.
Organic effortness. Very well put. I had the pleasure of seeing them several times as well as the first time they ever played Stairway to Heaven in Boston at the Boston Gardens, 1972 or three somewhere in there. It was the 70s ha ha
I didn't see Robert relishing that moment, because Jimmy had me distracted with the guitar pick Scotch Taped to his thumb, and the guitar pick up, Duct taped to his priceless guitar.
This is such a chill aong. Like floating on a breeze. I can still see where i was the first time i heard this song as a kid (10/11 maybe?). Such a magical song.
Always loved zeppelin, if you get chance, Robert & band saving grace are touring. I saw them in April this year and the joy and twinkle of the eye are still there. Recommend you see see live if can...
Life changing band in LZ...I've moved on to another guy/band that moves me in a similar way, Billy Strings live is a special event and I'm 56 and have seen 250+ gock shows!
My bro was at this gig.He took me to see them 4 yeas later at Knebworth,their last gig.Oh and Robert had THE effect on the ladies back then, and still does at nearly at 80 years old,he's still a good looking guy as i say hi to him weekly living not to far away,and my misses bought him a pint in the local a few weeks ago.Life is cool in Worcestershire
He sang with a soul, spiritual, improvisational, even hormonal connection. He loves to take creative chances (to him, they're not risky, they're an adventure). The part that gets me is how smooth/seamless/effortless the transition is into head-voice. I think he's a Tenor. I can only sing his stuff in falsetto and it sound thin. My head-voice doesn't sound so smooth - it's grating. He just swings on his range as if it's a vine. His relationship with the mic is almost like he's making love to it.
John Paul Jones - who Plant and Page both agreed was the most musical person in the group - is doing all the work here, but the director is fixated the other two.
Saw em a couple years before that in 73 here in Tampa. I was 13. No adult supervision. Honestly ? I definitely "remember" it,and certain parts stick out but it was my first concert and I was tripping balls. Still... it was awesome. Capt.Bob, SV ( Sailing Vessel ) 27th Chance, Tampa Fl, USA 🇺🇸
Another classic LZ song and performance. You really enjoyed this one. If you listen to their albums you will find plenty of songs that aren't hard rock. Keep exploring. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉❤
Robert Plant has the greatest vocals, his beautiful range tone & texture, he knows exactly how to use it for every song. Many of their songs are his lyrics, & they do so many different genres. His Blues vocals are absolutely amazing, yet he can sing beautiful ballads too. I’m not sure what other song you listened to, but he’s the one many wish they could sound like, & can’t achieve. He can change his range in a split second, & not miss a beat. He could sing the phone book, & make it sound like the most beautiful thing you’ve ever heard. In lives he often improvs, & no song sounds the same in any concert. I suggest you check out more, try at Madison Square Garden (1973) Since I’ve Been Loving You, beautiful blues. Try from Knebworth (1979) Kashmir, or from Earls Court (1975) In My Time Of Dying. Really any song, because they are all so different. Kashmir will really take you on a journey, Plant wrote the lyrics about his & Page’s journey through the desert, on their way to Morocco. It’s the song the band is most proud of. Thanks for your reaction, & more Led Zeppelin.
Great reaction and so much more Zeppelin to enjoy, please do. For a start try the musical journey "Kashmir" off the 1975 album Physical Graffiti and then follow up with the live version from the O2 Arena in 2007 with Bonham's son on drums.
That smaller looking guitar is a mandolin. It's tuned different and it's a 8 stringed instrument, but the strings are doubled up like the high end of a 12 string guitar. They aren't octaves like the lower strings of a 12 string guitar. This was played by John Paul Jones who was often on bass guitar for the band, though he is a multi-instrumentalist. Also, if you are looking to play this on guitar, it's actually in double drop D tuning where both of the e strings are tuned down a full step. I tried my hand at playing it many years ago and when tuning up the high e string back to standard e, it snapped and went through my finger. Thankfully I was playing 9s on my electric back then so it didn't bleed much, but it did itch and then bruise after a while.
I love the way you laugh at your own jokes, which are, quite fittingly, FUNNY! You SO give me such a Kennedy vibe! I mean the former VJ from MTV, now a FOX News commentator. SHE slays me with her cuteness, wit, and fun, and YOU have all those AND the British accent! Mercy! In any case, I trust it won't be another five years till your next Zeppelin reaction. YT's algo's did their job and alerted me you were doing my fave group again here, and I'm so glad I rediscovered your magnificent channel. Cheers!
@@rva Thanks for the nice replies! And no worries--there'll be no quiz, I'll never mention her again, but here is a 2 minute sample of the as - I - see - it Kennedy/Yourself enthralling personality similarity, in the form of her dishing on her almost-tryst with Michael Jordan, lol. I have no problem with her politics, and have no idea of yours, but wanted to use something non-political so as not to potentially sour your experience. I find her Life-affirming in that "Take the Risk/Or lose the Chance" way I saw on a wall plaque in one of your vids. And topping it off, you both rock such the cool glasses! AND you inspired me with your tumor story! I mean: just put a fckn fork in me already! 🤣 OK, I'm STFU now! If you do make time for Couple Minutes Kennedy here, I hope you enjoy it. Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/d-E9MuGQPDo/v-deo.html
You really need to do Kashmir live from celebration day. It’s mind blowing at their age and how great they still r. And the late John’s son on drumbs .
The "girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" and the "queen without a king who plays his guitar and cries and sings" is Joni Mitchell! Also, Led Zeppelin are a band that sounds, ancient, modern and futuristic all at the same time.
'shower of teardrops in my ear'. You would find that quite unpleasant, actually. LOL Great reaction to a powerful example of the Mighty Zep's folk side. BTW, I like the natural rasp in your voice.
Led Zeppelin are the most important band in Rock n Roll history
My favorite Zeppelin track. What carries me away here is the way John Paul Jones' gorgeous mandolin playing dovetails so perfectly with Page's hypnotic droning rhythm on guitar!
Another amazing song..live it is magical! I was 15 in 1975...best time of my life!
I love watching the reaction to your rock from these young people, and I was lucky enough to see them live at Tampa Statium!
And 13 in 1973. Good thing Page didn't spot you. Or maybe you wouldn't of minded

Why are you making shit up? Joni Mitchell didn't say that
She most definitely did. I was paraphrasing but she said it.
Who the heck liked the comment where the toad said I was lying. That's pretty odd to make something like that up. Also. A kind person researched the article. Now. Say your sorry humbly or be damned with nothing but Taylor Swift for your listening for eternity.
You can’t go wrong with a Led Zep reaction. Excellent.
Really? You liked this ? Never heard this version of Going to C, and she didn't stop talking .
@@iwanbottos5128 LOL, well it’s a reaction video, so yes, there’s talking. You can watch the original if you prefer. And yes, I like the performance and the reaction.
"golden tear drops", love that you said that to describe John Paul Jones mandolin lines
Yeah it's gorgeous from the get-go. Beautiful acoustic melody there.
That freaking mandolin!!! John Paul Jones killin it.
The women that Mr. Plant refers to in the song is Joni Mitchell. She plays guitar cries and sings. Plant and Page are both huge Joni fans.
There are still quite a few of us still singing, "Joni!" 😉🎉🎉🎉
The women? Are they all Joni Mitchell?
American music is so much.......
😏@@norwegianblue2764
wow,that is a cool factoid davidhead!
This album was released in 11/71, a month before I was born. My older brother gave me Led Zeppelin IV for Christmas in '81. Changed my life. I was hooked.
Greetings from Scotland. Went down to London as an 18 year old to see them at Earls Court. Still one of my greatest gigs. Regards and respect, Howard.

One of most amazing songs ever... Amazing!
Oh! I've known this song for years and the "woman who's never, never, never been born" line gave me goosebumps.
I was born in '85 and when I discovered Zeppelin I was immediately saddened. I would never be able to see these legends live. I was lucky enough to see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss when they were touring, but seeing Zeppelin would have been a major bucket list achievement.
This song always takes me to a better place
Robert plant comes into my local pub. He is a very humble man
Where is that? I know he lived or lives somewhere in Wales
I live in Kinver, Staffordshire. He lives in a house near shattersford which isn't far from me

@@kjek1 please don't go and bother him. Thanks.
Robert Plant is a master of voice and stage presence.
Plant is a massive Elvis fan and he likes to bring in his tones here and there. They all met him in Vegas back in the 70’s when Elvis invited them to his penthouse and they talked music and even sang a few tunes.
Yet another example of the broad range of music Zeppelin played.
This is very much a folk-rock song.
The best band ever
oh my God, reacting to the greatest rock band ever I absolutely love your expressions your voice… your depiction of the song and of course your beauty , LOVE IT !!!!!! ❤
John Paul Jones was playing a Mandolin not a Guitar. He's much underrated and plays everything from bass guitar to keyboards.
"Base" guitar? LOL ...
@@manwithumbrella That's allowing the computer to do autofill and not proof reading.
N PLAY BASS…. MY GOD… THE MASTER HW IS
I love your descriptive phrasing. I have been a LZ fan since '69, and it's wonderful for people like you to help get their music out to the younger generations. Plus, you are absolutely beautiful.
Greatest band ever, all 4 members!
Long time no see? The GOATS! PERIOD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Earl's Court performance is one of my favorites, especially John Paul Jones' mandolin playing.

you didnt get a heart
13 years before I was born, but man the 70's was great for music 🎶
Thank you Rebecca...you are the best. California, Oz, Kashmir, Shangri la - where-ever do your dreams take you. Zep rules.
As a musician, I think Plant uses his voice as an instrument better than any other vocalist
He was brilliant and in rock metal genre the other that comes to mind is Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Jeff Tate of Queensryche, the Steelheart lead singer but Plant was an OG for sure

Zeppelin perfection!
I remember 1977 I move from Ohio to Arazona .And my girlfrend said it reminded her of Led Zeppelin going to Califoria.
The Talent ! Ahh yes, exactly.
“Since I’ve Been Loving You” Studio and then Live
Led Zepplin cought the essence of the moment, the time,60s California... hippy love and peace.
The best band ever.
So elegant and charming, much love!
Been missing you and your reactions, so very happy this video popped up in my queue. Love your analysis and reaction.
One of my favorites Zeppelin songs.
I think this is Plant's best song. The way he sings the song, it's more a caress.
Ahh the Hammer of the Gods has just struck again!
Best Band EVER!!!
Organic effortness. Very well put. I had the pleasure of seeing them several times as well as the first time they ever played Stairway to Heaven in Boston at the Boston Gardens, 1972 or three somewhere in there. It was the 70s ha ha
FLOWERS IN HER HAIR ( JONI MITCHELL ) 😊
Awesome reaction 😎 Zeppelin has some great tunes.
Released originally in 71. Led Zepplin began with blues, but they moved into folk and psychedelic thankfully.
I think you really got the measure of this track... it is so ethereal and casts a little spell over anyone that bothers to listen to it properly!
Please do more Led Zeppelin. My all time favorite band. Robert’s voice is amazing. 5 years is way too long. Maybe 5 minutes. 😉😁
one of my all time favorite songs
I didn't see Robert relishing that moment, because Jimmy had me distracted with the guitar pick Scotch Taped to his thumb, and the guitar pick up, Duct taped to his priceless guitar.
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone alse had also noticed the guitar pick-up taped to his acoustic. Priceless.
This is such a chill aong. Like floating on a breeze. I can still see where i was the first time i heard this song as a kid (10/11 maybe?). Such a magical song.

Page and Plant?! What do they know?!
I love the commenting after each word.
😂 sarcastic much?
Great to see you back doing reviews in your own particular way. A stunning and very moving song which always gives me goosebumps
Thank you very much! Indeed
One of the times I saw them in concert they played this song exactly as you see it in this video. Unplugged.
Battle of Evermore is another great acoustic from them. Think the only song they with a guest singer. It is brilliant.😊
My dear Becks ...the eternal, glorious tart ❤😂🎉
THAMK YOU, is another beautiful song too.
Is it me or is Rebecaa getting more beautiful the older she gets? *shaking head* *rubbing eyes*

We love our Joni, here in Canada. And obviously Robert did as well
Another Fantastic reaction 😉👏
But let me just say, Those Shoulders ... Ooo, La, La. 🤫😎😁
In case your wondering, this song is about The Singer/Songwriter Joni Mitchell.
Your reactions and sensibility and spirit are dope. And your comments are smart as hell-fuck.
Great reaction and so much more Zeppelin to enjoy, please do. For a start try the musical journey "Kashmir" off the 1975 album Physical Graffiti and then follow up with the live version from the O2 Arena in 2007 with Bonham's son on drums.

The smile in your face, at the beginning, seems like you could do that...😂
You really need to do Kashmir live from celebration day. It’s mind blowing at their age and how great they still r. And the late John’s son on drumbs .
Have a lovely weekend Rebecca 😊 ! Enjoy some Led Zeppelin 🎸
My favorite song when I’ve had a crap day and just want to chill and maybe smoke a little to mellow out.
wow , beautiful . 🌷🌷✌✌
song was good too
The "girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" and the "queen without a king who plays his guitar and cries and sings" is Joni Mitchell!
Also, Led Zeppelin are a band that sounds, ancient, modern and futuristic all at the same time.
Joni! Great reference
A top five song of theirs.
'shower of teardrops in my ear'. You would find that quite unpleasant, actually. LOL Great reaction to a powerful example of the Mighty Zep's folk side. BTW, I like the natural rasp in your voice.
