Jonesy the backbone! Precisely correct, sir- well done you. And Jonesy outdoes himself on this track. And since you like Funk Rock, you'll love: Nobody's Fault but Mine, Live Knebworth, 1979 The Wanton Song (Page Plant - LIVE London 25 Jul 95 (REMASTERED) or Zep album version) Custard Pie (Robert harmonica)(album version) The Rover (never played live); and and the LIVE Trampled Under Foot, Live Earls Court, 1975 Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
Zeppelin got its name from the time Jimmy worked on a song for his dear friend Jeff Beck (RIP). Jeff Beck had Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones (both still studio musicians), Nicky Hopkins and Keith Moon (drummer for The Who) record his song called Beck's Bolero. John Entwistle, bassist for The Who was supposed to join them but he didn't show up so John Paul Jones played bass instead. The session went so well, that they half-joking/half-serious said they should form a band. John Entwistle was there either later that day or the next when he heard about it and either Moon (or Entwistle) said a band like that would go over like a lead balloon and either Entwistle (or Moon) said no, like a lead Zeppelin. Jimmy liked the way the opposites played off each other so remembered the name when he formed his own band. No, Jimmy wasn't using the bow, that's a wah pedal. In addition to the song taking lyrical inspiration from Robert Johnson, Jonesy took inspiration from Stevie Wonder's song Superstition for the keys. There's a great live version of this on YT from Earls Court. Zeppelin touched on so many genres of music like punk, country, blues, rock, folk, rockabilly, progressive rock, and more. My favorite blues song of theirs is Tea For One and my favorite "epic" is Achilles' Last Stand.
Dude, your body part association with our beloved members was hysterical… Spot on, but seriously I nearly cried, laughing when you said plant was the genitalia - hilarious !!!
the wonderful metaphor you improvised for the body parts and Led Zeppelin reminded me of a speech from Coriolanus I studied for my A-levels (a test to get to college in England)!! Yours was spot on!
If you think this rocks hard, you need to keep in mind that Led Zeppelin always rocked much harder in concert. Watch the video “Trampled Under Foot live at Earl’s Court in 1975”. Jimmy Page’s guitar solo is extreme, even for him, and you’ll get physically sore just watching John Bonham on the drums. Even if you don’t do a reaction video for it, watch it for yourself and listen to it LOUD.
Each of them are absolutely amazing, & the best of the best. The way Plant uses his vocal range tone & textures, for each song, is I think what really makes the songs. Each are the GOAT of their crafts, together they are The GODS Of MUSIC! No other band even comes close to their greatness, they all have true soulful passion.
I was born in 1962. As teenagers, we would eagerly await the next album, thinking about the masterpieces to come! It was truly a joyful time to be alive musically. Magical.
@@juliemanarin4127 Hey Julie we are the same age!!! I was also hooked from the start!!! We are so lucky to have experienced Zeppelin in real time. I’ve kept right up with Robert to this day. Rock on Julie Rock on!!! Zeppelin ….greatest band ever!!!!!
I was 16 in 1970 so had it all. The concerts,the parties,the music,oh the music. That decade is the best in history with the 60’s just behind,then the 80’s and a long way back,the 90’s. Don’t even mention the dire soulless garbage from 2000 onwards with a few notable exceptions,usually classic bands producing albums. Led Zeppelin were right up there no doubt. Knebworth mid 70’s,my god.
@@juliemanarin4127ha ha right! I heard Immigrant song when I was about 5-6 … I was in awe of what I was hearing… you know the beginning vocals of Robert Plant 😮🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🤩🤩🤩😎
I’ve loved LZ for 53 years. If one of them was missing, it wouldn’t be the same. But I have to say- the older I’ve gotten the more I love John Paul Jones. His bass playing, organ, piano, mandolin- he’s amazing. His bass lines stick in my brain, one song in particular being “the Lemon Song”. I don’t think you’ve done that one yet. Also, please do “You Shook Me”. Their 1st and 2nd albums have a soft spot in my heart.
Check out the live version from Earl's Court, 1975. John Paul Jones is playing keyboards and bass with the footpedals. Youu want funk? Try The Crunge You want Zep to take you to church? Try Baby Come On Home You want reggae? Try D'yer Maker You want Samba? Try Fool In the Rain.
Please, please, please react to my favorite Zeppelin song (for now), the studio version of Since I’ve Been Loving You. So, so, so soulful. You may find it’s your favorite, too.
This is by far my favorite reaction of yours thus far! It’s so wonderful to see someone else appreciate this band as much as they deserve. Rock on, brother!!!
This is my favorite Led Zep song of all time. This album came out right after my Sophomore year of High School. This album/cassette rocked every kid's stereo and car stereo all over Northern California that summer. It was ALL you heard... this was ANTI Disco!!! The keyboard was a Hammond console, you know, church organ with bass pedals. That bass-line you liked... JPJ was playing that with his feet. Love to see the youngsters discovering how bad ass music from this era was.
BONHAM was considered the greatest drummer of all time!! (RIP). I saw them (my first concert) when I was 13 (1969) at the Forum in LA and was a LED heads since.
I can’t stop talking about love. Push! 😂 Great stuff by the mighty Zeppelin. Those keys by JPJ were influenced by Stevie Wonders Superstitious. Check this out live too, amazing stuff.
Keith Moon of "The Who" predicted that the band would "go down like a lead balloon" when they were still called "The Yardbirds" hence, the name change . . . . .
For another genre-busting track, check out the South American/bossa nova groove of "Fool In The Rain." There's also nods to Celtic traditional folk roots on things like "Bron-Auyr Stomp," and "Gallows Pole."
Yes, keyboard. John Paul Jones playing. This for me is up there with the greatest driving songs like Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and ZZ Top's "Can't Stop Rocking."
It took All Members, as a whole, to make them the Greatest. Just as it was with Queen. You’ve got to read all about how the music was made. Page was a brilliant producer & who’s playing what on each track. JPJ is a Beast!
Yup. That was Jimmy Page. You got it right. Your reaction is on point. 👊😎. This is what the elders had me grow up on. The best..... and I had no idea. .....I was spoiled and didn't even know it
The story about the name "Led Zeppelin" apparently came from The Who drummer Keith Moon... When guitarist Jimmy Page was in The Yardbirds in the late 60's, he and his friend Jeff Beck (guitar) also a former Yardbirds member, started jamming together in a new band w/ The Who members Keith Moon (drums) and (allegedly) John Entwistle (bass)... Page wanted this new band to be a 'supergroup' after rehearsals sounded good (John Paul Jones had also possibly jammed w/ them on bass), but Keith Moon joked that they would "go over like a lead balloon..." (They would crash and burn like the Hindenburg zeppelin). The new band never made it past rehearsals, but Jimmy Page had that name in his mind - "lead zeppelin"... The Who and The Yardbirds were busy playing gigs and Jeff Beck formed The Jeff Beck Group w/ singer Rod Stewart (yeah, him), and were busy. The Yardbirds split in 1968 when Keith Relf (vocals) and Jim McCarty (drums) quit the band... Their manager demanded that they sign the rights to The Yardbirds name to Jimmy Page... Chris Dreja (bass) also left soon after... Jimmy Page wanted to form a "New Yardbirds" and needed a singer (and drummer)... he and manager Peter Grant spoke to all the prospective singers in London, but couldn't find any good talents who were available. Page began asking for talents outside London, and someone suggested this "kid" from Birmingham (North of London) named Robert Plant... Page would see 19 yr old Robert Plant perform w/ the band Hobbstweedle , a hippie folk band in Birmingham, and found his vocals "unbelievable"... He wondered why Plant wasn't famous yet (he thought he might be an a-hole!), but Robert Plant was charming and funny... and it turned out that bands thought he was too "out there" (gay) as a performer w/ his long hair and his sexually overt stage presence and vocal delivery... Even manager Peter Grant was not keen on having Plant in the band initially, and was kept on 'probation' for over a year (he was paid less than the band's road crew on tour) before the hit records started coming in... Robert Plant went to London to stay at Jimmy Page's house, and they talked about music and which direction they would go... Plant suggested his friend John Bonham should join on drums... John Bonham was married w/ a son at age 20... he also had trouble getting gigs as a drummer because he was too loud and aggressive on the drum kit, and was often fired by bands... But he had a family to support, and Jimmy Page saw John Bonham perform w/ a singer named Tim Rose and immediately called manager Peter Grant to sign Bonham up for the new band. Bonham was reluctant, but finally agreed to come down to London and jam... John Paul Jones was a prominent musician/ songwriter/ arranger in the 60's, but by 1968, he was tired of session work & not writing... His wife suggested calling up Jimmy Page to see if he wanted to join the "New Yardbirds" on bass. Page agreed to have him join the new band. The New Yardbirds rehearsed in the fall of 1968 and it was a "thrilling" session... They knew that the 4 of them together was something special... They did a tour of Scandinavia as The New Yardbirds, and then needed a new name... Page remembered the "lead zeppelin" joke and thought it might be fitting for this new band... Manager Peter Grant suggested changing the spelling to Led Zeppelin. They recorded the first Led Zeppelin album in 1968 and the buzz around the band was that it was going to be huge... Grant got a $143K advance from Atlantic Records for the first Led Zeppelin album... CBS Records, The Yardbirds' label, wanted the band, but Grant showed CBS that Jimmy Page had never signed The Yardbirds' recording contract. The first Led Zeppelin album was released in early 1969, and the cover was appropriately a photo of the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster. The played the USA as an opening band in 1969, but FM radio promoted Led Zeppelin and the album became a top 10 hit.
John Paul Jones was playing the organ/ keyboard and was the heart of this song... He actually plays bass pedals with his feet hitting those notes while he's playing the keyboard
The name came from the zeppelin heium aircraft, that went down in flames. The rumor was when the band started, pete townsend from the who said they would go down like a lead zeppelin. I.e. LED ZEPPELIN.
Bro do I'm my time of dying. From what I'm told I was conceaved while that song was playing. And it just happens to be my Favorite song on the album and potentially in my Top 5 favorite Zeppelin songs produced, recorded live, etc.., Do it, Do it Now.... 👍
The name Led Zeppelin: According to The Rolling Stone, Keith Moon (Some accounts credit John Entwistle with the joke) of The Who joked that the band would go over like a led balloon. Page remebered the joke two years later and created Zep. Hard to pick a favorite Zeppelin song (There are simply too many mastepeices to pick from), but this song is high on the list. Thanks for the reaction.
You gotta make a bee-line for Stevie Wonder's masterpiece, "Superstition," and then come back to "Trampled." John Paul Jones admitted he got the bounce, the rhythm sense from Stevie's funky groove. You'll hear it, and appreciate both songs all that much more!
Another tremendous Stevie Wonder tune is called You Haven’t Done Nothing, it also grooves big time and the Jackson 5 sing backup. It might even be groovier than Superstition.
Hi there. Your channel crossed my path today. It was the mention of the headache that made me click lol. It's because of this reaction I've subbed to you. Looking forward to your musical adventure, thank you for sharing it with us! Also, I appreciate your Nike collection behind you. I currently own 65 pairs of Converse high tops.
Hey bro love your Zeppelin commentary. It seems you actually enjoy the music enough to dissect it and don’t just listen to it because you know it’s popular and it’ll get views from a large demographic. Can’t wait for you to hear No Quarter and I hope you choose a live version to listen to as well. I’d suggest No quarter from earls court May 24th 1975, OR from celebration day 2007. Great content bro 💯
I think they were going to call themselves "Hello" (or something equally goofy), I think, and someone said "that'll go over like a lead balloon". The rest, as they say, is history.
10:35 Jimmy on guitar in right headphone, JPJ on electric piano in left headphone and NO Cello bow, that's just a foot pedal making those wah sounds/or whatever/ thru Jimmy's guitar. MAMA LET ME PUMP YOUR GAS... MAMA LET ME DO IT ALL!
I love your Led Zep reactions! They are such an incredible band. I remember the first time I heard them, it was like a lightning bolt hit me and I've never been the same. Besides Elvis, they are the only other thing I can listen to EVERY DAY.
Here's the story about the name. : In the late '60's Keith Moon and John Entwistle of The Who left the band over a disagreement and formed a band with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. During a rehearsal, Keith Moon said, "This is gonna go over like a Lead Zeppelin". Thus, when Moon and Entwistle rejoined The Who, Plant and Page kept the name and became Led Zeppelin
No, Jeff Beck had Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones (both still studio musicians), Nicky Hopkins and Keith Moon record his song called Beck's Bolero. Robert wasn't there at all; in fact, Jimmy hadn't even met Robert yet. The session went so well, that they half-joking/half-serious said they should form a band. John Entwistle was there either that day or the next when he heard about it and either Moon (or Entwistle) said a band like that would go over like a lead balloon and either Entwistle (or Moon) said no, like a lead Zeppelin.
You want to hear funk rock from Zeppelin, the songs on the Presence album has some great songs, “For Your Life”, “Hots on for Nowhere”, “Royal Orleans”. On the same album, different styles, are the incredible “Achilles Last Stand”, “Tea for One”, and “Nobody’s Fault but Mine”. Another song I think from the CODA album, “Traveling Riverside Blues” is great.
Try Wearing and Tearing. They go way up tempo. It's not funky like this but a great example of how they could do straight forward, loud, driving hard rock.
We all know L.Z. was Jimmy's vision, it is amazing how lucky he was to find these other genius musicians to make it work, literal work being the key to their success. All the great bands of that era worked very hard, doing research of all types music to create the new sound, learning what the newly produced equipment of the day could do, and bringing it all together. They made it look easy, but it was insane talent combined with lots of serious work.
This was not only a tribute too Robert Johnson and too Stevie Wonder in fact if you listen too Stevie s Very Superstitious you will notice similarities between that song and this one 😀😃🙂🙃😊 And Jimmy Page loved Stevie Wonder 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 plus Zeppelin were such musical sponges that they could hear anything or anyone and take the sound and flip it and turn it too a act of perfection Greatness 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 And in this one Rock Funk Mastery Period 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 THERE the Absolute Shit For A Reason Period 😀😃🙂🙃😊 lol Your Reaction 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
JPJ was the backbone and the man who could play any instrument. Check out their last album "In Through the out Door". By this time Jimmy and Bonham were falling apart with drugs and alcohol. JPJ was the one who forced the band through this album and who wrote many of the songs, moreso than on any other album.
Way too soon for a favorite ……keep going…..trust us……and definitely watch footage from Celebration Day..they’re older, Jon Bonham son on drums…they bring it ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You'd LOVE in my time of dying. Same album It's recorded live in the studio and is a big jam. It's basically HEAVY gospel lol. Bonham drums are t most brutal heavy INCREDIBLE drumming iv ever heard. And then Jimmy tears it up on slide guitar with Jones being the rock as always
Ashy ass............U remind me of me when I was young.......I lived thru every album.Every new song was a new world for me.......... .Imagine that but, in old stereeo wooden speakers. 4 ft high. Dude the ' Lemon song' is kick ass.....
Jimmy page was calling the Band The New Yardbirds and someone said that will go over like a Lead Balloon 🎈 and then Page said you mean a Lead Zeppelin 😮
Jimmy came up with the name. After they finished their tour obligations as New Yardbirds. Were pretty much told to drop the name. It was a variation on the phrase Led Balloon. That's another story as to the origin of that reference and how it came about
Keith Moon came up with the name "Led Zeppelin" when the song "Beck's Bolero" was being created in the studio, with Jimmy, JPJ, Beck, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. They toyed with the name for this group of guys, because they said it would go over like a lead balloon. Jimmy remembered the name when the New Yardbirds needed a name.
Hi, I love your reaction's! If you are looking for unique styles of songs I recommend you No Quarter, Kashmir, In the Light, in fact almost any song of the álbumes Houses of the Holy or Physical Graffiti
When the Levee breaks is my favorite with a ton of second favorites. You need to hear In my time of dying next!
Jonesy the backbone! Precisely correct, sir- well done you. And Jonesy outdoes himself on this track. And since you like Funk Rock, you'll love:
Nobody's Fault but Mine, Live Knebworth, 1979
The Wanton Song (Page Plant - LIVE London 25 Jul 95 (REMASTERED) or Zep album version)
Custard Pie (Robert harmonica)(album version)
The Rover (never played live); and
and the LIVE Trampled Under Foot, Live Earls Court, 1975
Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
The Greatest Band ever. Glad you found them.

Jimmy was way more than guitarist and writer/cowriter, he produced everything and production is a huge part of making a song work.
If you think this rocks hard, you need to keep in mind that Led Zeppelin always rocked much harder in concert. Watch the video “Trampled Under Foot live at Earl’s Court in 1975”. Jimmy Page’s guitar solo is extreme, even for him, and you’ll get physically sore just watching John Bonham on the drums. Even if you don’t do a reaction video for it, watch it for yourself and listen to it LOUD.
I can vouch for 'Trampled Underfoot' in concert - live at Earl's Court in 1975. You will NOT be disappointed!
That's a solid fact.
typical Zeppelin taking a great recorded version and KILLING IT EVEN BETTER LIVE.
Each of them are absolutely amazing, & the best of the best. The way Plant uses his vocal range tone & textures, for each song, is I think what really makes the songs.

You want Samba? Try Fool In the Rain.
Hell yeah, fool in the rain by far my favorite, but in some ways, it’s like two songs
Da GOATS! PERIOD! It wasn’t recorded in 90, it was just remastered! You are correct Bonzo drove the rig!
Please, please, please react to my favorite Zeppelin song (for now), the studio version of Since I’ve Been Loving You. So, so, so soulful. You may find it’s your favorite, too.
Great reaction and analysis 👏.
This is the best reaction video I've seen in a LOOOONG time! Love it.
Every song is fabulous!! Jimmy produced all their albums! Do it live!! Unbelievable!
Watch this live from Earls Court 1975…….It’s even faster….and boy it SMOKES……Bonzo goes off the chain!
This is by far my favorite reaction of yours thus far! It’s so wonderful to see someone else appreciate this band as much as they deserve. Rock on, brother!!!
Cool, thanks Luke!
Peace ☮️ ❤
We jammed like this the first time we heard this back in 75 bro !! Been jamming like this ever since!
Bro one of the best reactions to zeppelin I've seen lol you had me jamming hard af think I messed my neck up.. long live the gods of rock 🤘

BONHAM was considered the greatest drummer of all time!! (RIP). I saw them (my first concert) when I was 13 (1969) at the Forum in LA and was a LED heads since.
Need to listen to the live version, faster and groovier yet!
They performed this live. No track overlays just musical brilliance!
This is my fave LZ tune too, listening to this is like getting hit over your head with a musical sledge hammer!!!
I can’t stop talking about love. Push! 😂 Great stuff by the mighty Zeppelin. Those keys by JPJ were influenced by Stevie Wonders Superstitious. Check this out live too, amazing stuff.
JPJ again. 😂
Going to California Great song!
John P. Jones on all kinds of keyboards & bass. Love your body parts analogy. LMAO. Loved your reactions
When a was a teen, dance this song in a discotheque every time. Was very popular.
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs,✌️😎
I love Robert Plants' vocals on this song. 🔥
Yeah, very unique era as Robert was still recovering from his throat operation of late '73 so it had a raspiness to it in '74 when this was recorded.
Keith Moon of "The Who" predicted that the band would "go down like a lead balloon" when they were still called "The Yardbirds" hence, the name change . . . . .
How many more times by zeppelin on Danish radio live! Fantastic
Now you get it” Way back in the day” cassette tapes boomboxes house stereos Led Zeppelin
For another genre-busting track, check out the South American/bossa nova groove of "Fool In The Rain." There's also nods to Celtic traditional folk roots on things like "Bron-Auyr Stomp," and "Gallows Pole."
One of my favorite songs I bought this album when I was 15 1975-6
Yes, keyboard. John Paul Jones playing. This for me is up there with the greatest driving songs like Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and ZZ Top's "Can't Stop Rocking."
cool--gonna check out that zztop tune!
This is the song when I heard zeppelin for the first time , I had to get the album.
It took All Members, as a whole, to make them the Greatest. Just as it was with Queen.
You’ve got to read all about how the music was made. Page was a brilliant producer & who’s playing what on each track. JPJ is a Beast!
Check out the live version from Earl's Court 1975. Absolute fire!
Glad that's over ? great to see a younger dude groovin to Zep, im 62 and grew up on them. Love making was lost in the moment to these guys too.
Yup. That was Jimmy Page. You got it right. Your reaction is on point. 👊😎.
This is what the elders had me grow up on.

Bro do I'm my time of dying. From what I'm told I was conceaved while that song was playing. And it just happens to be my Favorite song on the album and potentially in my Top 5 favorite Zeppelin songs produced, recorded live, etc.., Do it, Do it Now.... 👍
The name Led Zeppelin: According to The Rolling Stone, Keith Moon (Some accounts credit John Entwistle with the joke) of The Who joked that the band would go over like a led balloon. Page remebered the joke two years later and created Zep. Hard to pick a favorite Zeppelin song (There are simply too many mastepeices to pick from), but this song is high on the list. Thanks for the reaction.
Tangerine is one of my favorites.
We knowww!
Geez.
But you’re telling it incorrectly. ….
You gotta make a bee-line for Stevie Wonder's masterpiece, "Superstition," and then come back to "Trampled." John Paul Jones admitted he got the bounce, the rhythm sense from Stevie's funky groove. You'll hear it, and appreciate both songs all that much more!
Another tremendous Stevie Wonder tune is called You Haven’t Done Nothing, it also grooves big time and the Jackson 5 sing backup. It might even be groovier than Superstition.
@@dickcnormis1444..I LOVE that song. It's even better than Superstition in my opinion. And Superstition is a masterpiece 👍
@@MJEvermore853 I agree and Innervisions is one of the greatest albums of all time
@@MJEvermore853 I agree and Innervisions is one of the greatest albums of all time
@@dickcnormis1444...it really is 👍
The version on Celebration Day is really good too.
If think it can't get better. You haven't heard the live performances of the song
Hi there. Your channel crossed my path today. It was the mention of the headache that made me click lol. It's because of this reaction I've subbed to you. Looking forward to your musical adventure, thank you for sharing it with us!
Also, I appreciate your Nike collection behind you. I currently own 65 pairs of Converse high tops.
Hey bro love your Zeppelin commentary. It seems you actually enjoy the music enough to dissect it and don’t just listen to it because you know it’s popular and it’ll get views from a large demographic. Can’t wait for you to hear No Quarter and I hope you choose a live version to listen to as well. I’d suggest No quarter from earls court May 24th 1975, OR from celebration day 2007. Great content bro 💯
I think they were going to call themselves "Hello" (or something equally goofy), I think, and someone said "that'll go over like a lead balloon". The rest, as they say, is history.
Holy shit this is 🔥🎸🤘Yeah Robert Plant is definitely 🍆. Damn. I don't think I've ever heard this entire song before. ☮️💜
10:35 Jimmy on guitar in right headphone, JPJ on electric piano in left headphone and NO Cello bow, that's just a foot pedal making those wah sounds/or whatever/ thru Jimmy's guitar.
MAMA LET ME PUMP YOUR GAS... MAMA LET ME DO IT ALL!
I love your Led Zep reactions! They are such an incredible band. I remember the first time I heard them, it was like a lightning bolt hit me and I've never been the same. Besides Elvis, they are the only other thing I can listen to EVERY DAY.
And PS...this song got me pulled over for speeding before lol😂
Here's the story about the name.
: In the late '60's Keith Moon and John Entwistle of The Who left the band over a disagreement and formed a band with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. During a rehearsal, Keith Moon said, "This is gonna go over like a Lead Zeppelin". Thus, when Moon and Entwistle rejoined The Who, Plant and Page kept the name and became Led Zeppelin
No, Jeff Beck had Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones (both still studio musicians), Nicky Hopkins and Keith Moon record his song called Beck's Bolero. Robert wasn't there at all; in fact, Jimmy hadn't even met Robert yet. The session went so well, that they half-joking/half-serious said they should form a band. John Entwistle was there either that day or the next when he heard about it and either Moon (or Entwistle) said a band like that would go over like a lead balloon and either Entwistle (or Moon) said no, like a lead Zeppelin.
Try they're tribute to James Brown..-"The Crunge"
The repeated track was John Paul Jones on the keyboard.
You want to hear funk rock from Zeppelin, the songs on the Presence album has some great songs, “For Your Life”, “Hots on for Nowhere”, “Royal Orleans”. On the same album, different styles, are the incredible “Achilles Last Stand”, “Tea for One”, and “Nobody’s Fault but Mine”. Another song I think from the CODA album, “Traveling Riverside Blues” is great.
Got my copy of Physical Graffiti in November of 1975. A 15 year old teen.
Now this is respect👍
When I was in 8th grade I read the book “Hammer of the Gods“ …give it a read!
Try Wearing and Tearing. They go way up tempo. It's not funky like this but a great example of how they could do straight forward, loud, driving hard rock.
You NEED to check out Heart doing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors! It will BLOW YOUR MIND!
Try " The Rover" off the same album :)
We all know L.Z. was Jimmy's vision, it is amazing how lucky he was to find these other genius musicians to make it work, literal work being the key to their success. All the great bands of that era worked very hard, doing research of all types music to create the new sound, learning what the newly produced equipment of the day could do, and bringing it all together. They made it look easy, but it was insane talent combined with lots of serious work.
Read the book about them titled "Hammer Of The Gods" to get a much deeper feeling of the great Led Zeppelin
This was not only a tribute too Robert Johnson and too Stevie Wonder in fact if you listen too Stevie s Very Superstitious you will notice similarities between that song and this one 😀😃🙂🙃😊 And Jimmy Page loved Stevie Wonder 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 plus Zeppelin were such musical sponges that they could hear anything or anyone and take the sound and flip it and turn it too a act of perfection Greatness 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 And in this one Rock Funk Mastery Period 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇 THERE the Absolute Shit For A Reason Period 😀😃🙂🙃😊 lol Your Reaction 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
JPJ was the backbone and the man who could play any instrument. Check out their last album "In Through the out Door". By this time Jimmy and Bonham were falling apart with drugs and alcohol. JPJ was the one who forced the band through this album and who wrote many of the songs, moreso than on any other album.
I just gave myself a headache! 😂
Way too soon for a favorite ……keep going…..trust us……and definitely watch footage from Celebration Day..they’re older, Jon Bonham son on drums…they bring it ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You'd LOVE in my time of dying. Same album
It's recorded live in the studio and is a big jam. It's basically HEAVY gospel lol. Bonham drums are t most brutal heavy INCREDIBLE drumming iv ever heard. And then Jimmy tears it up on slide guitar with Jones being the rock as always
Ashy ass............U remind me of me when I was young.......I lived thru every album.Every new song was a new world for me.......... .Imagine that but, in old stereeo wooden speakers. 4 ft high. Dude the ' Lemon song' is kick ass.....
Jimmy page was calling the Band The New Yardbirds and someone said that will go over like a Lead Balloon 🎈 and then Page said you mean a Lead Zeppelin 😮
I gave my neighbors a headache” 800 Watt house stereo-BOOM
Yes! Funk rock!
oh yeah, I almost forgot about zepp's disco period =\
the headache is how you know it's working … no pain, no gain
This song also reminds me of Industrial or Steel rock. You also have to cover Dyer Maker (pronounced Jer Make A)
Jimmy came up with the name. After they finished their tour obligations as New Yardbirds. Were pretty much told to drop the name. It was a variation on the phrase Led Balloon. That's another story as to the origin of that reference and how it came about
Keith Moon came up with the name "Led Zeppelin" when the song "Beck's Bolero" was being created in the studio, with Jimmy, JPJ, Beck, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. They toyed with the name for this group of guys, because they said it would go over like a lead balloon. Jimmy remembered the name when the New Yardbirds needed a name.
Just wait for D'yer maker 😂
Let’s Go!
If you want to get hit over the head with a musical sledgehammer this song is it. Physical Graffitti is the baddest rock album EVER!
John Paul was the secret weapon
IMHO : John Bonham was "The Straw that Stirred the Drink"
Physical Graffiti is my favorite Led Zeppelin album.
check out Kashmir, Ten Years Gone 👍
Oh almost forgot check out this song live you will lol it 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
Hi, I love your reaction's! If you are looking for unique styles of songs I recommend you No Quarter, Kashmir, In the Light, in fact almost any song of the álbumes Houses of the Holy or Physical Graffiti
Watch it live. Jones plays base on pedals
Hey, hey, my, my Rawk n Roll will NEVER die!
