Don't forget, this was analog recorded, microphone to tape, years before digital and ProTools would come along. Simply amazing.
To me, THIS is their masterpiece...
fair statement
One of them for sure! The fact that so man years after a band like TOOL made a tribute of this song tells you everything about how good and influencial it was/is! ZEP for life!🤘❤🤟
You can hear the prog influences in this excellent track. JPJ added some nice colors which really make the track as a whole stand out on the album. Love the live version also from 1973 at MSG. Love these guys reactions to the classic rock I grew up with all those years ago.
1000%
@@tnightwolf A baton passing from one great prog rock band to another. both are great. Suh a good song.
One masterpiece after the next. No rock band has ever written and produced so many stone cold masterpieces in their catalogue. Insane
This song from live at msg is off the charts
Please play the long version from the original non-remastered original cd. They shortened it on the remastered cd.
❤️
@@tomgross181 Thank you. The remastered version cuts out a lot of Page's solo.
Yes,!!
77 in Seattle though!
These boys came to win. Every song, every album. There body of work is timeless. Will never not be the best.
No Quarter = No Mercy. That’s the Zeppelin way. Take no prisoners, hooked for life. Love the reactions guys. 🤘😎

I love that you guys see it’s the WHOLE band. Growing up in the 80s/90s nobody gave JPJ his due but with fresh ears you guys totally “get it”!
JPJ is a walking talking, playing musical note, he is in my top 3 bass and top 10 keyboard players of all time, plus one of the greatest producers studio masters ever, it is unfair he and Page were not only master musicians but would have been at the top of the list for what they did at the mixing board.
@@vicprovost2561
And arranger
And mandolin
I was thinking the same thing. JPJ made new kinds of music for the world. Each of them was the best of their time.
Must of hung around the wrong crowd back then. JPJ was like a God back in the early 90s music scene.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! THANKS GUYS
MAN, that guitar tone. I had frorgotten how dirty it is. Amazing.
I always said that if there is such a thing as a magical song it's No Quarter. It's sick chemistry between the band members. The No Quarter riff is the coolest guitar riff ever.
Great ending to dis song
I've always thought it had to be some sort of divine intervention that brought these four musical geniuses together!
The vibe in this song has never been duplicated. One of my favorites from Zeppelin.
Bonzo's grove is off the charts. His use of ghost notes, his foot pedal patterns with a puncy snare and bass drum sound takes this song to another level.
Live esp
It's Zeppelin of course it's awesome.. Evey they did was amazing.. Hands down best band ever
.. Not a weakness anywhere.. All stars, all of them!
I'll say the same about Black Sabbath, Rush, Pink Floyd etc... But you aren't wrong. Zeppelin is themselves. Wide range. Great songs across the spectrum.
They have some duds on most of their albums.
Zero bands have no bad songs.
That riff is just so damn menacing, you got to love it
That's the word I was looking for when I made mention of ELP's barbarian. whatever that effect that's on Jimmy's guitar Greg lake's guitar has the same fuzz effect on his guitar but Less polished much more denser and upfront in the mix and very menacing.
I believe on the Barbarian, that's a Maestro Fuzztone or some similar circuit on bass guitar. Page is likely using a Solasound Tone bender Mkii but I'm not sure. He is known for using that effect for the majority of his fuzz tones.
" I'm suffocating man". Best ever
Probably their most atmospheric track and that electric piano adds so much, sooper cool vibe!
PS - I see you guys are getting a real buzz from this track. And it still gives me goose bumps decades after first hearing it!
I started high school in 1969. Led Zeppelin stood out from all the other bands at that time. I was into the Motown sound before Zeppelin came out. The Spinners, O'Jays, Commodores, Etta James to a name a few, and when Led Zeppelin's first album came out I really didn't know what to think. It was such a radical departure from everything else being put out at that time. A time when The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and The Who were rocking out as well. But Zeppelin was different from all of them. 4 musical genius' came together and were able to blend their genius into mind-blowing songs. Songs that sounded very different from the other songs on the album and different from songs on any of their albums. My musical tastes range from Percy Sledge to Fiona Apple to Everlast. I consider Zeppelin a once in a lifetime group that I was fortunate enough to enjoy in the prime of my youth.
There just isn’t anyone else like Led Zeppelin they’re on their own island. How important of a band they were is hard to find words. We used to kick back and get tore up to this stuff and let it take you to another world.
Tore up from the _FLOOR_ ~up!
As GREAT as the stones, and the Beatles were. They simply can’t touch the elevated air Zeppelin was able to reach. Mainly because of the talent of the 4 members especially Bonzo who separated Zeppelin from everyone else.
@@MrDeengels And _JPJ_ the Gorilla Glue holding it all together at the back.......
There are other bands, but they are rare. Opeth and Rush come to mind, and to some degree Pink Floyd. But active bands, Opeth. Not the same type of music at all, but the same attention to detail, musicianship, craft etc. etc....
Mister john Bonham
I’m 62 and was lucky enough to get to grow up with this kind of music. If you think this blows your mind now imagine being a young teenager in the early 70s with access to “mind altering” substances of various natures and listening to this stuff 🤯
Amen...
I always enjoyed how 420 complimented the music of our era. I am 62 as well. So blessed to have been raised on this music.
Played this for my class in high school as a project. Teacher actually liked it! Rock on.
Awesome I did the same with Neil Young's tune Needle and the damage done.
Of all the songs in their catalog, this one probably has the most variety in live shows,with JPJ doing extended solos on organ and grand piano, moving in all possible directions, and varying widely from night to night. As great as the studio cut is, the live versions are simply amazing.
I love JPJ dream episode in the Movie.
I've been hearing that piano break followed by that lead for 45 years. It still beautiful.
One of the greatest songs ever, by anyone, never mind it is the mighty Led Zeppelin. They just have so many colors in their audio palette, so many different kinds of rock songs but always different and great in their own way tunes. This is utterly classic in studio, one of the best headphones songs you can test a pair with. Live, it takes on a life of its own and runs 10 to 20 minutes and Jimmy and JPJ get plenty of room to solo. Great tune guys, the journey continues. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Also, yes, the production and engineering on their albums is second to none, the only 2 other bands who I get those kinds of vibes on their studio mastery are Pink Floyd and the WHO on their best albums. You just get to a certain level and all the rest of us can do is listen in awe. 🎧
I have not heard this song by Zeppelin in a long time. Forgot just how incredibly good it is🎶 Thanks so much guys for reacting to this one - brought me way back! Love your comments☺
listen more! Truly, music from "back then" was and is Special...any genre, some you even have a hard time defining, was an amazing time to grow up...I am so glad younger generations are taking the time to discover....now go listen to The Rain Song,,,,lol
Same reaction. This album is my third favorite Zep, but I often skip No Quarter because it's a bit long and downbeat. The monster Phys. Graffiti awaits.
And the live version is even better!
@@alansmith7626 I grew up with great era of real music too, and yes, it's great to see younger consumers not just enjoying it but also young musicians being influenced by it too
@@alansmith7626 Agree Alan! This channel has brought back a lot of memories and wanting to listen to more older tunes. Music was so special back then. I love "The Rain Song":)
I’ve known this song for 35 years and it STILL blows me away.
After each song, after each album, you gentlemen can realize that Zeppelin are and will always be the G.O.A.T’s
Between robert's vocals the instruments The vibe just just sit back close your eyes and just let it take your mind wherever it wants to go.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
At 63 years old I'm still amazed by THE greatest rock(blues) band ever. It's really fun watching you guys discover what I've known for almost 50 years, timeless, genuine, original and absolute porn for the ears. Love how much you love it.
Porn for the ears? Priceless. 🎸
Hi Bill, l can relate, l'm 74, saw them in Denver in '73....they devour the music...they are like an F-5 tornado or a mountain creek in a meadow & everything in between.. miraculous talent...thx for your reaction to them...
@@johnwdaley4727 so fortunate we are to have lived in a time when rock music was at it's absolute best.
This is why I keep tellin' yall - Zeppelin simply has SOOOO many ELITE songs.....frankly more than ANY other band....Period. They just keep going.
The Beatles have just as many. Of course, Zep did it with a catalog just half the size of The Beatles'.
Correction.......Pink Floyd
Well if we are talking elite then Rush fans have a dog in this fight as well. Oh then there is another that comes down from the cosmos every once and a while name of TOOL. Of course they are beyond elite 😊
4 geniuses that created a new musical world.
The 1973 MSG live version of this song is one of the greatest pieces of music ever. The 12 minutes non-cut version expecially
Yes. Page's solo is hall-of-fame stuff.
👌
This song is in my top five of my favourite band. So haunting, so atmospheric, JPJ at his best. Genius.
This became one of their top most played songs live, over a hundred xs once it dropped. There is at least 1 live version that is a whopping 45min long. And no one complains.
Absolute monster song
Yes and somewhere there is a Dazed and Confused approaching that length. Bands like them, Mountain, Hot Tuna and others actually had the jamming skills to play long and ever changing versions of their greatest songs, like who plays a 20+ minute song now, never mind a 30 or 40+ minute jam?
It's crazy that this middle aged lady was so looking forward to your reaction to this song for the last few days...to music that has been in my life for decades? But here we are in 2023 and it was another treat - thanks guys. Rediscovering LZ with you has been a delight. And revisiting the next album, Physical Graffiti...Holy **** there are songs on that one that will really blow your socks off. You still have a ways to go yet...It is so great to see music fans experience and talk about Led Zeppelin for the first time, their catalogue is so huge and amazing. Keep up the great work, really enjoy watching your channel.
No doubt! “Graffiti” is the band’s most “complete” and diverse record. Because of the events that unfolded in 1975 and beyond, it’s the last truly great Zep album. But first: “The Ocean”!
This song would become Jonesy's showpiece when performed live and could last 20 minutes or more. He would improv through a keys solo and add things like bits of classical, jazz, blues...whatever he felt. This definitely has a bit of prog-rock feel as they always tried to explore the obscure paths of music. They got the underwater-like piano sound by processing Jonesy's Hohner ElectraPiano through a synth. There are so many musical textures and techniques here including synth washes, synth soloing, Moog Taurus pedals and an uncharacteristically jazzy guitar solo from Jimmy. According to engineer Andy Johns, they got the buzzy guitar sound by using a couple of compressors and direct injection into the mixer; it was a technique similar to the one they used for Black Dog. The overall thick sound happened in part by Jimmy using vari-speed to slow it down. The lyrics touch on Robert's continued fondness for legends, lore, and battles fought both real and fantasy as he describes soldiers "wearing steel that's bright and true" travelling possibly through a mountain range (the "winds of Thor" could be Mount Thor, a Canadian mountain range) during a blizzard. They will show "no quarter" as they "carry news that must get through". This is a dark, moody masterpiece.
Henrietta, you used the word "thick"! Damn straight! This has an ethereal yet very THICK sound. Great word to describe the near impossible. Great comment👍🏻
#LZ Masterpiece!!
I guessed it was at least a compressor but interesting it’s actually two jacked into the board. What is the Vari-speed you mentioned? Was that a pedal or a technique employed in the mix?
@@CANDOKNOWHOW vari-speed is a pitch control device. It's kind of like an early analog ancestor to Auto-Tune.
@@henriettaskolnick4445 It sounds incredible paired with Page’s playing!
No Quarter live at MSG 1973 is the best performance. Ever. A close second is Since I’ve Been Loving You live at MSG. You will be blown away by anything from that show.
From the Song Remains the Same concert movie for Since I've been Loving You is the best version.
TSRTS version is my favorite Led Zeppelin song with what I still consider the greatest live guitar solo ever recorded.
It’s so hard to pick a favorite album because they are all great and different at the same time.
They never made anything but great records the reason I have them slightly ahead of Pink Floyd, who had mixed results before Meddle and especially Dark Side of the Moon.
OMG!! I love the Led!! I'm 62 and a typical day in 1976 was , school (?), then a friend's house to burn a couple doobies and listen to Led Zeppelin. Sitting in the beanbag chair, lights out with blacklight on and all the blacklight posters on the wall and being hypnotized by the lava lamp. This was 1976 and up!! They are geniuses and storytellers and visionaries. Great seeing your reactions!! How about a reaction to Bad Company, "Shooting Star" and ELO, "telephone line" or "Turn to Stone"
Wait until you check this out live at MSG. After you go through their studio catalog then you can dive into their live stuff. The Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep and winding.
As they have gone through the whole catalogue, it would be nice to see them double back and cover live versions of their favorites after they finish with the studio recordings...
My favourite Zeppelin album as well. The live version from The Song Remains the Same is amazing. The keyboard and guitar solos will blow your mind. And now your socks will be blown off by The Ocean. "We've done four already, but now we're steady and then they went one, two, three, four." Enjoy.
The brilliance of John Paul Jones shining bright.
Led Zepplin have a lot of great songs, but this is one of the best.
Based !! Live from MSG 73 is even better
No Quarter was a term in Medieval warfare that meant the ability to surrender....No quarter meant no surrender and no prisoners taken....The bass player John Paul Jones also played keyboards as well as mandolin.
Essentially yes. No quarter means 'no mercy' in other words no prisoners taken. To give no quarter is to give no mercy. To ask no quarter is to ask for no mercy - a fight to the death. It comes from the idea that if you accept prisoners you have to 'quarter' them (find accommodation for them).
"The Ocean" will Rock You Both Hard, Zeppelin Style. 1 2 3 4 Ready For That SNARE
Now I know what my face looked like 50 years ago when I first heard this. You guys are priceless. Now the next song up is my personal favorite on this album. You two have so much more in store with this next album. Enjoy and thank you!! 🎶🎼🎵🎸
NO QUARTER!!! basically means NO MERCY 😅😊love it
Your reactions are hilarious im in my 60s and throwing newspapers at 5 am listening to all of some of the best music from the 50s onward
Wait for the next album...zeppelin always surprising...but no quarter is on my Top 5 songs...masterpiece...watch it live from 1973, with video...just killer
This song live could go for 30-35 minutes some nights, and listening to the interplay between JPJ, Page and Bonham is so incredible!
You have to check out some good quality live performances too! Because it wasn’t rehearsed, it was all groove and feel between the band that led the song all over the place and then back to it’s roots!
Simply an Amazing Band, individually and collectively, light and shade.
Warms my heart to see young folk like yourselves become Zeppelin fans! Like I did, way back when!
Just when you thought it can't get any better......😁
I’m 64 years old I listen to Led Zeppelin since 1968 and I agree they are the best aunt ever I have other albums and there’s so many great songs in this line it’s the best band ever 😮❤❤
I’m 63, we smoked a many listening to Zeppelin back then. Still have the album’s and still smoking with them to this day!!!😎
THE BIG REACTION has ARRIVED.
ZEPPELIN BEST BAND EVER…I STAND BY THAT 55 YEARS LATER!!!
I was good to see my brother's. The guitar lead on the live version of this song is beyond outstanding. More. Please. Until next? Time. Stay well and popping for Fresh
Another great reaction guys. Such a classic and unique song. Fully agree with everyone suggesting the 1973 live No Quarter performance from MSG -- it is a must watch. Jimmy's solo in that one is beyond belief. And, lucky you, you still have three more Zep albums to go (actually four counting Coda which is great too); next one up is Physical Graffiti, my personal favorite. But you can't go wrong with the mighty Zep. Love your work gentlemen, keep it up!
Hands down my favorite Zeppelin album. Love them all, but this one is special.
Yeah, man..there's just something about Houses of the Holy...
I love watching people hear Zeppelin for the first time.
Incredible how they can have so many great songs on each album. This was the era of filler tracks, but not on Zeppelin albums.
Traveling riverside blues. You need do this it's great. Led zeppelin
Yes a fantastic deep Zeppelin cut. Love that song!
I love how you guys are so impressed by this band. I'm learning to appreciate it even more watching your reactions. The artistry is off the charts!. Nevermind the virtuosity and creativity.
Absolutely love this track without a doubt part of the Led Zeppelin top ten songs.
One of fav’s!
Hell, they’re all my fav’s!
😆🤣
You get that heavy bottom end sound whenever the guitar & bass play unison lines. Makes the lows THICK! ……as a brick!🎸
..& Paige did use some crafty-sometimes innovated effects/equipment for that time. He gave the guitars lots of different tones/textures, etc. & yes, JPJ is that damn good! You were correct in saying “they were all masters of their crafts!”
This is probably my favorite Zep tune, it speaks to my soul- it’s incredible! If you want to hear no quarter live audio, there is a double album called “ the song remains the same” . I sure hope you are going to react to all the live songs from this 1976 release. And there’s also a album called “ coda” put together with left over bits and pieces & left over songs after the band broke up( after in through the out door. Please react to those mentioned also, they are legit records and I know your fans ( which I am one of your most dedicated) , would love to see your reactions. They will blow you away.
You two guys are incredible- thanks a lot and many blessings to you guys 🇺🇸
My God I remember buying this album and Marvin Gaye's what's going on at the same time from the same store. We were so blessed with great music back in the '70s. Prace and Love!
So true!
It was all good in the 60's/70's
Rock
R&B
Top 40.
@@danhall2197 That's because radio was so good back then. The a.m. and FM stations I listen to would switch between pop and rock and country and stage tunes there was a big variety on the same channel of radio station.
Motown and Rock were not in competition. It was like an excellent buffet. Ohio Players, Earth Wind & Fire and Edwin Starr were may favorite groups of this era probably. But the rock was slipping in. Boston's debut album put me in the blender.
@@Greg-io1ip and see, Johnny guitar Watson and Parliament funkadelic got me into the soul and funk side of music. And I just couldn't get enough!
Both in my collection as well, the seventies were the richest decade of music across all genres..
I think what I love the best about these reaction videos, even though I've listened this song probably a couple 100 times, is I get to go back and it feels like I'm hearing it again for the first time. It's great, thanks guys!
"You never know where it's going" You said it, man!
Favorite Led Zep song!!
TOP 5 ALL TIME Zeppelin songs as well as one of Page's coolest Guitar riffs, hands down...please do version from Song Remains the same Movie from 73 MSG guys...
I was able to see The Jason Bohnam Zep Experience about a year ago..What an absolute treat to hear them play this to a T. Their music was so diverse yet still rocked your socks off , or take you around the universe with tunes like this one.
How is it possible? So ridiculously good!
I was lucky to see them 3 times at MSG back in the 70’s. Each concert was different, but everyone was a completely differ T experience! Pure joy!
I forgot how good this is. Haven't listened to in years and years.
In the presence of masters - and they know it. Love it!! :)
Y'all knocking it out the Park today 👌💪
Every member of the band excels on this one. It's funny to see each of your two take sideways glances at each other to try to catch one another with your mouth hanging open, shaking your head in astonishment! It's one of the finest examples of how Zep transcended your average "hard rock" band.
Great Reaction. I think everyone fully related. You can definitely hear the formal classical music influences of the British schools. Music budgets for all schools must be expanded.
The best song on a truly great album.
Imagine our smiles when this vinyl dropped in 1973 😎
Great for 65 yr old who grew up with this music since 12, to see u guys appreciate "our" music. I think the common denominator is R&B. The Stones, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath....all considered themselves a "blues band". And who doesn't love R&B?
I must say it is so refreshing that you guys are getting into ZEPPELIN this kind off does it for me seeing you guys really enjoying music
Great reaction guys 😊 'No Quarter' has always been a personal favourite in the Zeppelin songbook for me 🥰
It truly remains a showcase for John Paul Jones, both in terms of his playing, but also compositional skills 😊
I think that was probably Page's greatest triumph as producer, in miking up Bonzos kit like he did. It gave Zeppelin that incredible bottom end.
The live version from the Song Remains The Same live DVD (or audio) is the greatest thing Zepplin has ever done as far as I'm concerned.
Fell asleep to this every night in high school in the 80’s 🔥
My favorite Zep album, too!
1973 live version is insane. One of the best Page solos ever.
JPJ wrote it! I can't explain what this group has offered humanity. It sounds weird to say but they are so dialed into the light and love. It's like God was feeding them. peace to you guys. I so enjoy listening and sharing reactions with you....... Wait til you hear The song "In the Light" and "In my time of Dying " by them. That is what I suggest. Peace to you both✌
yes! and the alternate mix of 'in the light' with the harpsichord is even better than the studio release imo.
This also my favorite Led Zep album.
My two top Zeppelin albums
Zeppelin II
Zeppelin Houses of the Holy
Appreciate your reviews.
I can't even count how many times I've been completely wasted, or tripping balls listening, or watching this during my college years. Sure i never graduated, but I woke up a whole different side of my mind.
I remember it was late, like 3 in the morning, the lights were down with the stereo up, and the whole place was trippin. It had been a fairly large party, an every one who came was cool, but that was just how '75 was. Somewhere in the first 40 seconds of "No Quarter", the clouds that filled the room changed the place, the space, the time. We were in that strange smoky tumult with its muffled moans and final cries of the wounded and dying. It was the loud deep silence that follows a raging and deafing hand to hand fight to the death of tens of thousands of men, with those who won being so diminished in number, that executing the wounded enemy would require much time.
My favorite from this album!!
Think about every song on this album? Not one sounds even close to sounding similar st all. And every song is unbelievable!!! My favorite Zep album!
When the piano hit both of you just sighed hahaha. Like my god. It's just keeps building
Great reactions! Thanks for doing the whole catalog. They are the GOATS.
All their albums are great, and it makes it hard to pick a favorite, but I think the best is yet to come.
Physical Graffiti is a masterpiece!
My favourite Zep song.
As many have already mentioned, get ahold of the original recording from The Song Remains the Same soundtrack. Not the remastered or from watching the movie. On vinyl, if possible LOL it will blow you away. The guitar solo is one of Jimmy Page's finest moments.
