Going to rinse my brain off now 🤯
Throw an album on in the truck and go for a cruise. Physical Graffiti, whatever. Throw a dart at any Led Zeppelin album.
That river delta mud doesn't come out easy.😊
"When The Levee Breaks" is from Led Zeppelin IV, my favorite of all of their albums. Definitely check out the rest of the album!!
"It received a 24 times multi-platinum certification from RIAA, the fifth-highest of all albums, and fourth-highest exclusive of greatest hits compilations."
Like said before me, grab an album and go for a drive. Mine right now is Led Zeppelin II
I’ve always said this was their best song!
The cool thing about watching reaction videos is it makes you remember how you felt when you heard the song for the first time 45 or so years ago.
Absolutely brother
I was just going to write that exact comment....I actually change my speed to normal
TOTALLY AGREE!!
100%. Led Zeppelin was my ditch school and smoke a j in the woods with a fire going. Great stuff
So true, love it
I have to enjoy a zepathon once a year! I listen to all 9 albums start to finish, no breaks! When I finish I am filled with joy! I’m 73 years old and still rock on. The best!
I started doing this in my 12, today im 28, still rocking to LZ
That is cool!
DITTO. Plus the 2007 O2 Arena concert.
@@johncole2469 hi John, I don’t have it in me to do more than one Zepthon. But you will carry on ! Thanks for letting me know! I have music vibrating through my head so it’s been a pleasure.
Hmmm never done that But i will and Im 58 and love good rock n roll You all know what i mean
Hands down, the GREATEST Rock Band EVER!!!
among them
INDEED!❤
POLO: “this doesn’t need lyrics this doesn’t need words.”
Robert Plant: “hold my beer.”
Also he’s playing the harmonica.
masterpiece. So thick.. so gritty.
He was a master, but he didn’t write these lyrics. This is a cover.
Magnificent!
Four of the greatest musicians in the universe came together and gave us perfection! I will forever be thankful for Zeppelin!
Greatest of all time.
THE GOATS!!!!
That’s right. They called them selves The Beatles 😉
@ZagiBob
They're the GOATS of pop ! Not rock !
Zeppelin came together on a fluke...never having played together...even ONCE.
Hey, I am 65 and so enjoy listening to you younger folks appreciate what I grew up on❤🙏💪🏾
68. know what you mean. On vinyl
Me too! I love the younger generation ….they get it!
63,same.
65 here😊
What a lucky man to just be scratching the surface of Zeppelin! Enjoy.
Exactly! He will be a fan 4 EVER!
I grew up in the 70's listening to Zeppelin. I was a teenager and had 3 or 4 jobs because we were lower middle class, and if I wanted things, even my own clothes, I had to work for the money. I saved up and bought a new Technics stereo, big speakers and all, and when my parents were working, I'd blast Zeppelin on my stereo for hours. Still to this day, when I'm at home or in my truck, I put Zeppelin on, and it takes me back to that time, and the crescendo of calm and happiness just washes over me. They'll always be my go to band and are the inarguable GOATs of rock and roll music
A friend of mine used to say the Led Zeppelin is the most underrated overrated band of all time. Everyone says they’re the greatest. But until you listen to them do you grasp how truly transcendent they were. We were privileged to share your experience with them tonight!
It's crazy that no one before had thought of "the drums follow the guitar instead of the bass," and what an amazing difference it ended up making.
Add in They were playing the instruments.
No fakes. No digital 'enhancements' or auto-tune.
Just some dudes jamming.
Beautiful.
@@patrickvarine8476I felt the exact same way about Kieth Moon of The Who. The drums follow and accent the vocals. Simple and brilliant!
@@patrickvarine8476 Uh … the Rolling Stones operated on exactly the same basis: Charlie follows Keith.
And I know that because both Bill Wyman and Keith separately told me so!
@dianawpthomas9804 what do you mean "operated" as in past tense? they aint dead yet, lol. naw, just pulling your leg. The Stones have made some great tunes using this formula, particulary most of their work on Exile on Main Street
You can thank Jimmy Page for the immaculate arrangement. He was the captain in constructing their songs. Everyone played their asses off Live. No click tracks, no auto-tune, just four great musicians feeding off each other's energy (warts and all). It's alive and breathing.
The sum of it's parts, an epiphany of chance. It changed our... everything...👋😎👍
I feel John Paul Jones didn't get enough recognition for his contribution in playing every other instrument in the band besides guitar and drums. He was the bass player, but really so much more. He played bass pedals while playing the keyboard or mandolin. He also played 6 and 12 string guitar.
Plant was the harmonica man though.
Can't speak for this particular track but Jones more than played his part in the arrangements of some of their tracks.
You can thank JPJ.
One of the hardest tracks to drum. If you're not a greasy, in the cracks, genius feel drummer with chops you don't even have a shot. Just an astonishing track. One of Zeppelin's masterpieces.
People don’t say it but Bonham was a Mayer drummer.
It IS one of their best songs ever, and it's a cover! The composers (Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy) recorded it first way back in 1929 - a ballad for sharecroppers just scraping by, forced out by the storms and floods who joined the migration north to Chicago where there was work to be had. Incredible song in the hands of Zeppelin.
These guys were super hard into American blues, and it shows.
As I said in my post, this is your history, Polo.
It’s not a cover. It’s a rip off but not quite a cover. If you would listen to the original you would know that.
Okay, how about 'rendition' or interpretation' or even 'variation on a theme.' Is that better?
@joecleveland20 As great as Zeppelin was (AND THEY WERE), unfortunately they did ripoff a bunch of old black blues musicians. That part doesn't bother me as much as the fact Jimmy Page is in denial about it. There's even a question whether or not the ripped off Stairway to Heaven from one of their warmup bands. Although they were cleared in the courts, in my opinion it sounds a lot like the song in question. The song was Taurus by a group named Spirit.
Robert Plant on harmonica is fire!
That opening drum beat is one of the most sampled drum beats in music. It never gets old.
Funky Drummer by James Brown is the most, along with the Amen Break.
Headley Grange , in England , drums recorded from under the staircase
@@aakuster No , Led Zeppelin are , and specially in hip hop . Kashmir , Whole Lotta Love , Immigrant Song , Black Dog , When the Levee Breaks are some of them.
@@monicabolognini7962 You are factually incorrect. Do your homework.
@@aakuster That s your opinion , not mine.
Never realized back then how incredibly great the music was we listened to on the radio everyday. Took 40 years to truly appreciate what was created then. True talent becomes a lost art. Sad.
not completely David: ua-cam.com/video/f03g5JO7S94/v-deo.html
Led Zeppelin are not heavy metal , they are rock n roll but no one does HEAVY like Zeppelin ! No one !
They are a blues rock band that INFORMED and INFLUENCED Metal
@@lynnhafferkamp6054i’m not sure i’d say they’re blues rock all the time. they go across so many genres, i’d just call them rock and nitpick which genre they are depending on the song
I agree! They’re phenomenal!
@@justgavin_ Absolutely a lot of their best tunes were acoustic
@@lynnhafferkamp6054 I've been trying to say that for years but could not find the proper terms -THANK YOU.
Bonham is the benchmark by which all drummers are judged!...just say'n 😎👍
A pocket so deep... the entire world slipped in to it! 🙏💯💥
Karen Carpenter was also phenomenal and extremely versatile 😊
He is Sir Pocket for sure
So correct!
Yes, Polo, review Moby Dick!
🎯
This song is wicked. Like it is driven by something from beyond.
It's called a bass and a wicked bass player 😊😁😎
I've been lucky enough to have seen them in person. There has never been a band to have such raw power as Led Zeppelin.
Never !
Robert Plant and Mick Jagger are criminally underrated as mouth harp (harmonica) players. They don't play on every song, but when they do it's pure blues.
Yeah they both really knock that ball out of the park
Absolutely. Keith Richards once said, the real unadulterated, Mick Jagger is when he’s playing the harp.
In my opinion, they are the greatest rock band ever. Best drummer, best frontman, one if the greatest guitarists, and one of the best bassists/keyboard players. Glad you discovered them.
Led Zeppelin being the best rock band ever is more of a fact, kinda like Jaws being the best movie ever….some things just transcend opinion.
That's just your opinion. Other opinions are wrong.
Page said that his intention before starting this band was to find the best of each musician he was looking for. He found them.
Best quote ever on a Zeppelin reaction "I can't hear it loud enough... it's so good" love it.
Led Zeppelin = 4 master musicians.
Led Zepplin was born out of Blues and then something else happened and it blossomed into this Heavy Blues Rock. I do not know that any band in history has done the same with rock and blues combined together. Led Zepplin is timeless, you can listen to this in 100 years and it will still be a pleasure to hear.
Without Zeppelin there wouldn't be a lot of harder genres out there. They are the foundation.
@@coyoboyoel grunge por ejemplo, la mayoría eran seguidores de L.Z...
Allman Brothers on line 1.😀
Symphonic Rock !!
Hendrix
Led Zeppelin has been criticized for stealing/using non-original material, but I think it is part of their brilliance to take these old Mississippi Delta blues or folk tunes and elevate them to something truly special. When The Levee Breaks is just one of many examples. The musicianship is other worldly. Polo you should try Gallow's Pole next from Zep III.
People also forget that organic blues didn't have a whole lot of copyright agreements. It's like... Danny Boy
It's not the using (with proper acknowledgement of the source) that rankles; it's the outright thefts that are unconscionable.
gallows pole is a cover!!!!! I did not know that for the longest time. It was popular by Leadbelly, but is actually originally an old old time folk song that cannot be attributed to any one person .
They have corrected their mistake and have credited the original musicians now. Everyone deserves a chance to correct the mistakes they have made in life.
Which is quite funny considering the drum intro to this tune is one of the most sampled and reused drum parts in all hiphop, closely following the funky drummer break.
When led zeppelin played at the 02 London celebration day tour back in 2007 the band hadn't play together for 20 years yet 20 MILLION YES 20 MILLION people applied for tickets in 3 HOURS XXXXXX AMAZING !!
When the levee breaks was written by a black woman from Kansas City named Lizzie Douglas also known as “Memphis Minnie”
…and her guitar player Joe McCoy
Minnie had talent AND talent around her.
Zeppelin DID credit Minnie, but unfortunately, they forgot to include Joe, the unsung writer and player of the original.
Was looking for this comment
I feel they needed a bit more echo on the harmonica.
Jimmy Page, the guitar player developed the riff, as he did 90% of their riffs. Not a bass guitar riff.
@@daddyboy3546he’s not a musician. He was referring to the beat of the kick drum and the way that it drives the whole song.
My husband of 42 years is in hospice. ‘..Don’t it make you feel bad when you try to find your way home..’ takes on a new meaning for me. Crying won’t help and praying won’t do no good, when the levee breaks, mama you gotta move.
Bless you both in this time of trial.
❤
❤️
Fantastic post. The best to you.
Sending prayers and love to you both ❤
Greatest drum beat of all time! My favorite Zep song of all time. All hail Bonham!! All hail the mighty Led Zeppelin! Great commentary. Exactly how I feel when listening to this. Never gets old.
Or is it the bass? 😎
I agree. Probably the most iconic drum beat ever. I know there’s a beastie boys song that used it or something similar
It’s probably up there as far as one of the most sampled drumbeats of all time…
I'll never understand how anyone has never heard of Led Zeppelin. When the levi breaks was so underrated.
Zeppelin wss and still is the very best...,Thanx for this
Polo, arguably the best drummer that ever played, ask anyone. His son is carrying on as best he can but there is no way. If you get the chance to see some of his videos and actually hear what he does with the drums, you will be amazed. RIP John Bonham.
I have come to the conclusion that Jimmy Page was simply one of the best producers in all recording history...Harmonica and drum sounds here are outstanding...
Yes! Where are the props 4 his production contributions? Up there w. Phil Spector & Brian Wilson imho.
The epitome of Led Zepplin is their song KASHMIR! YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY!!!×
Every song is their best song.
My all time favorite band. So very diverse yet all of the different genres are done well. They were THE band of the 70s.
They are THE band of forever. 😊
Yeah, the late 20th Century absolutely ruled rock music. :)
Hard to believe this is almost 50 years old and still stands the test of time.
54 years now. 1971.
Yeh. Its 50 years ago, but I still feel 16 years of age.
54 years since LZ recorded it... 94 years since Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy recorded it in 1929. Not to denigrate Zep, because they are one of the greatest bands of all time.
AMAZING! ❤
Led Zeppelin was AMAZING in concert!!! I saw them 3 times in the 70's!!!
Me too.
Can't remember any of it. I don't think Zeppelin did either.
@@rantsandraves8515 😂😂😂 I think my sister said the same thing.
The echo of the drums you recognized (one of my favorite aspects of this song) occurred because this track was recorded / captured in the lobby of Headley Grange, a historical building in Hampshire, England with a massive open space giving the echo-y feature you described. How friggin' cool!
The echo is an effect added by Andy Johns; it's not just the room.
The echo is created by an echo effect piece of electronic equipment. Rick Beato has a video about it.
Yeah, Jimmy said they had hung microphones from the ceilings in the hallway. Then they took some away because Bonzo was just nailing it so loud anyway. Great recording from an iconic album
If you like that bass line and think that was great, then you will be blown away with JPJ’s bass line on “Ramble On” it’s F’ing AMAZING!!!!!!!
Yeeeeeeesssss!! Probably my favorite Zeppelin song. ❤
Guys JPJ is the real unsung hero of led zeppelin… what he does on The Lemon Song is one of the most incredible thing ever
That’s my favorite Zeppelin track!
Wait until he discovers Them Crooked Vultures.
Right? And The Lemon Song!
I would love to see Polo's reaction once he finds out Robert Plant was the one playing the harmonica. 😮 This song 🔥
Absolutely true
Indeed! Hoping he knows the names of the band members now..
I saw them in high school in 1972 and 75 and completely took them for granted. I had all the albums and it was just kind of normal for a kid to look me then and see them live. When you be put these in my ears now it’s like, holy sht I was there and forgot how special.
The texture is unreal, layered, atonal then comes together, hits like a runaway freight train howling through town, just so epic

I've been blessed to see Zeppelin do this live. It left me speechless. I have seen them 36 times and that was not near enough!! None better in my opinion than Zeppelin.
Damn, 36 times!
I'm 47 and agree. My son loves them. He's 18. Pass it down. (Real music❤)
I'm soooooo jealous you've seen them that many times. I've been a guitarist since I was 4 (I'm 58 now). Even as a young child, I was mesmerized by Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin had awkward been the top of my list. It's no wonder when Bonzo died, they didn't feel the need to go on. The synchronicity of the 4 was that strong.
Saw them at the Forum in LA way back.
I grew up in the 70's England listening to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Wishbone Ash and the like. It's great to hear someone younger and from a different background appreciating that music. I wonder how today's music will stand the test of time? Thanks Polo 👏
Me too. Now I realise how lucky we were, what fantastic music we had back then. With a few exceptions I don’t find much around today that compares with it .
I just committed now and said the top 3 bands ever are Led Zeppelin, , Pink Floyd, Deep Purple myself… totally agree with you! 100%… been a fan and listening since the 70’s as well!
omg wishbone ash is so good!!! I've never seen anyone else mention them before!
@@sunnyday_lemonbars
I know, they were not that big. But great band
@@sunnyday_lemonbars
Great band, very underrated. Not many reviews so would love for Polo to review them.
What makes bands like Led Zeppelin so amazing is that they wrote great songs that will absolutely draw you in, and at the same time they weren’t afraid to do their version, of the songs that inspired them.
They put their soul and feeling into already great songs and paid homage to the musicians that inspired them.
“Memphis Minnie”
Rock on!
Rolling Stones do the same. All the great artists copy and put their own twist to it!!! That's what makes them great!!!! Music is for everyone..
@@maragretmcdonald-cavangah3473 that is absolute truth. Even the old blues players borrowed from the previous generation. That’s how it’s been done in the blues forever.
Led Zeppelin are loved by everyone in world sir ✌️
Jimmy page and John Paul Jones were well versed in studio recording, and could get the sound they wanted themselves without relying on record company engineering. And they could recreate the sounds they got in the studio, with their live performances! 4 geniuses. A truly unique band.
They played on a lot of stuff. Another was Big Jim Sillivan if it wasn't Jimmiy it was Big Jim in the studio
This is a myth. While Jimmy Page has always been very good at self-promotion, Andy Johns was the recording engineer and you are simply repeating a lie if you think he wasn't very involved in the process.
Cheers,
Alan Tomlinson
I've heard this hundreds if not thousands of times and I never get tired of it. Tool is undeniably great, but Zeppelin set the stage for a lot bands going forward. And it's major nostalgia for me, like over 50 years ago.
Led Zeppelin- Masters!
Enough said!!
I can feel you feeling this song! 🤯 One of their absolute finest by any measure. It's the final track and thematic climax of Led Zeppelin IV, which is a masterpiece loaded with hits and undoubtedly one of the greatest albums ever made.
POLO, Yours is not the only reaction that has left people speechless about how good they were. They were and are the standard of what a good Rock Band should be...in other words the G.O.A.T.
When you can't help but fall in with the drums. Bonham and his tree trunks. Zeppelin was perfection.
It's a righteous curse that each new Zeppelin tune you listen to becomes your new favourite. But don't you worry, that one tune will someday be your favourite once again.
All Zeppelin are masterpieces.
Grew up with 70,80,90's and grest to see their music being appreciated today,brings back so many great partying memories.
Enjoy the Ride.
Needed a break from the crazy world tonight. Saw your post and tuned in. Thanks for lifting me to the better side of Mankind, dude. Signed - an old white guy Veteran.
Anytime bud
Thank You for Your Service!! 🤍☮
I was thinking the same thing sitting here at work watching too much political stuff and came across a new Polo reacts video and I know this song well and told myself “ he’s gonna like this one !” - 55 year old Navy veteran here listening to a great Zeppelin tune 👍
OOH RAH. Air Force here, 64
@@scottzappa9314 and thank you for your service.
The greatest band there ever was and will ever be.
Led zeppelin 4 is a masterpiece ending with this masterpiece of a track. They were the seed of an entire music type.
Warms my heart to see younger generations discover great music from decades ago. Music is so far from this now. I hope we see a resurgence of people playing actual instruments and diving in.
"This HAS to be one of their best songs!" Yes, it is. And so is the next one. And the next. And the next... HAIL the mighty Zeppelin. As always, LOVE your reactions!
They recorded the drums in a stairwell at Headley Grange to get that echo you hear.... Genius...
I was thinking empty warehouse but even crazier
They also used an echorec tape reverb
ua-cam.com/video/JM5UDL4l5jQ/v-deo.htmlsi=HJyI-eEu9D0egHZV&t=97
The drums were set up in the foyer and Jimmy Page hung microphones down from the top of the stairs to the positions he wanted above the kit.
Sounds like water splashing everywhere.
❤❤❤ Led turns GOLD! 💕♥️
LED ZEPPELIN isn't music you listen to , it's an experience every song every time !!! Top Tier !!! 🤘🔥🎸💯...
Zeppelin is boundless and genreless...equal parts musical virtuosity, innovation, and emotion.
Polo, thanks for another great LZ reaction. This is a cover, believe it or not, of a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. Credit to Wiki for that. 🔥🔥
It was about the Mississippi flood of 1927.
Hard to imagine anyone hearing any of this for the first time 😅 Imagine then growing up with it! We had the best years!
He couldn't handle the INTRO !! WE CAN'T HANDLE THE POWER!!
Led Zeppelin had the best drummer of all time in Jon Bonham. My favorite to this day is the Wanton song. Nobody… I mean NOBODY can play drums like this!
Ginger Baker never crashes.
@@donaldcarey114 Ginger Baker was not even in the same league as JB.
@@christopherekin1747 I disagree, else I wouldn't have made the post. (I was NOT saying Bonham wasn't fantastic.)
“ When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.”
Robert’s on harmonica. ❤
Where would be without those Delta Blues masters?
If look it comes from further back then that
INDEED!
Layered and textured like true art.
One thing you need to understand is these iconic rock bands like Zepplin, the Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Bowie and Clapton. For them it wasn't so much about the money but the music, the craft. They studied music and experimented in the craft of making music. That's why this era of music is timeless. I'm really happy to see young people today discovering this music that was so much a part of my generation. Because it influenced our lives, shaped our lives and inspired us and brought us together as one. People from all over the U.S. Canada, the U.K. and Western Europe. We were all tuned in to the same vibe at the same time. It was a magical time.❤🇨🇦
Yes and I think he needs to listen to each one of those bands!
Pink floyd too
@@justins3810 absolutely
@@reneehardek3492 lol for sure
It's one of LZ's best songs. It's a relentless blues with a very unique interpretation while being hypnotic as well. The harmonica, vocals, slide guitar and ridiculous drumming make it amazing!
Definitely my favorite song from Led Zeppelin with several closely tied for second.
@heartlesskitten88 most people have their favorite they love, then 15 of their songs tied for second lol that's normal.
This is IMO their best song along with Kashmir.
This was dad's fav; he would crank this up in the truck as we flew down the highway.
Still miss ya dad. Blasting this for you.
The WHOLE album minus STH. My fave is 4 sticks but I have gotta pay more attention to When The Levee Breaks!!
My 2 favorite LZ songs as well @Frostrazor
🙏❤️✝️
Polo-just found you as I was searching Zeppelin videos. I’m 67 and grew up loving Zeppelin- so fun to watch you experience it for the first time. I get those chills every time I hear it. But you nailed it- have to listen to their music loud and feel it! Enjoy!
Led Zeppelin - GOAT. I was lucky enough to see them, the last US concert, July, 1977.
One of the greatest drum tracks ever laid down, and for a fantadtic song. Great reaction.
It brings me real joy to find that folks are finding Led Zeppelin. For me, it was at 13. In the 60s, 70s and 80s we had a fire hose of great music coming at us. I never thought it would end one day. It seem that it has. Thank you for rockin with us.
Absolutely!
I was just a year ahead of you at 14 going on 15 January of 69 when Zeppelin 1 came out, seeing these youngbloods hearing this stuff for the first time is something, and quite the flashback to a marvelous time to be a teenager,,
I used to blare this out of a boombox in the back seat of my Pontiac, circa 1985!
Saturday night, late 70's, sitting between tower speakers and feeling it. Music to carry you away.
Best song in the world to listen to driving down a country road with your windows rolled down and the volume up as loud as you can stand it. Beautiful.
The Bass, guitar, drums, and Harmonica make this their greatest tune ever. Then the lyrics come in
Love this song!!! Might be my favorite Zeppelin song....
Hands down, one of the most iconic beats ever. As soon as I hear this beat hit, I'm already in that groove. I can't help it. John Bonham was 100% a beast on the kit. "Four Sticks" is another great one. Aptly names because he's using four sticks. "Fool in the Rain," I believe, he's carrying two differently timed beats at once. Which is insane.
Bonham does that on the Wanton Song as well. What a groove. Also in My Time of Dying the drum sounds like cannons. Unreal.
As broad and deep as Zep's catalog is, I have to say this is probably my favorite song of theirs of all time. This song just never gets old.
After over 320 concerts in my lifetime, I saw Zeppelin three times in the 70’s. Tickets were from $6 to $10. In college at Austin, Tx we would usually see 2 concerts a week between
Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. My first concert at 15 was Jimi Hendrix in San Antonio. I am now 71 and still going to concerts ie Coldplay. I have over 100 Blue Ray DVD’s of concerts and killer surround sound system With a 70” screen.
Still watching and listening to my favorite groups: BEATLES, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Aerosmith,
The Who, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, AC-DC, and countless others. Yes, I grew up with these bands. Lucky Me!
This song was written and recorded in 1929 by Memphis Minnie - 'old blues' loving Zeppelin paid homage with an absolutely incredible arrangement, instrumentation and vocalization

Called it a cover song
@@awakeforever well, they added and rearranged lyrics and muaic, it’s not a cover, it’s an inspired work
It is a song about the 1927 great flood of the mighty Mississippi.
Led Zeppelin had the cheat codes before anyone ever knew they existed! 😂
The journey through their catalog of music is worth every minute! Polo, you and everyone else will enjoy this ride!!!
Can’t hear it loud enough “ my sentiments exactly on most Led Zeppelin songs 🎉
Zeppelin is my favorite band & this is one of my favorite songs. Can't pick just one.
These drums were set up at the bottom of a multi floor spiral staircase, with a mic hanging above them to record that echo effect.
This is my fav led zeppelin song actually! Just such grit and feeling
Their ultimate Classic.
Love watching Polo react to Led Zeppelin 🤯 I always tune in for his reaction.
Their records had the feel of a live concert, and their concerts had the precision of a recording.
That's amazing
Um… no. Their studio recordings don’t sound like a concert and their concert performances are nowhere near as precise as their recordings.
Jimmy Page is well-known for being a very "sloppy" player at live shows. He was always changing it up a bit, and probably never played any song the same way twice.
@@korndogz69I always preferred their their studio recordings to live perfs.
@@TheDivayenta I always preferred the live stuff. And the sloppy tag is ridiculous. It's just lesser humans not understanding. But I love the studio stiff as well 💜
If you want a good live Zeppelin track to listen to with similar-ish vibes… Bring it on home.
Yes that is an awesome live version right at the beginning of there journey.
Yes, gotta watch it live, Royal Albert Hall 1970!
These guys are fucking amazing. Truer words have never been spoken
My Absolute Favorite Led Zeppelin song.
this has always been my favorite led song.
We were bombarded with music this great every week back in the day. We had no idea it was so great because it was all so great. RIP great music....
You got that right.
Without a doubt. An era of music that has since been unmatched!
This is fantastic to watch folks get turned on to Zeppelin for the first time! Music is great!❤
One of the Greatest intros Ever. Chills and then it gets better...nothing Like Zeppelin
