He was actually 20, the same age as John Bonham when the recording was completed in October 1968 @ Olympic Studios in London. John Baldwin (aka John Paul Jones) was 22 and Jimmy Page was 24.
Arguably one of the best debut releases by any band, ever. The opening track didn't just kick the door down, it splintered in into a billion pieces. Ladies & Gentlemen, Led Zeppelin.
I remember reading someone describing a blues song as being so good "it was like gettin' laid on Saturday night and gettin' up and going to church to sing about it on Sunday morning". That's this song.
When most people think of Led Zep they think hard rock. They've never really listened. Zep was pretty much a blues band that branched out. And a dang good one.
With you, 100%. If you can wrap your head around the fact that Robert was TWENTY years old when this was recorded, you're a more evolved human than I am. I can only imagine that this album was like the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous period.
I don't have to imagine, I remember it like it was yesterday. This album literally changed my world. I went from soul and pop on an AM radio to FM rock overnight after hearing this album for the first time. I was blown away at the tender young age of 13 and went from being a little country boy to a hippie teenager.
William Patterson you know history of the blues. Most people don’t know who I’m talking about when I mention Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Lightin’ Hopkins, Big Mama Thornton, and so many more.
Absolutely. It stagers me when i see a ( greatest of all time), rock band, ,and or Guitarists, &, they hsve Led zeppelin or Jimmy Page at #3, behind the Rolling Stones, &, Beatles, or , Jimmy behind Eric Clapton & Jimi Hendrix. Respect to Beatles & Stones, but together they cannot do wahat Led zeppelin does. And, the same respect to Jimi Hendrix & Eric Clapton, but once again , together they could barely equal Jimi Page.
@@treydees929 Great respect to Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin but over the 60 years I have been a musician I have heard many guitarist that, to me, better than Jimmy Page and many bands, to me, better than Led Zeppelin. To be clear, I love Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page. The very first concert I ever attended was a Zeppelin concert in 1969, an unforgettable event in my life.
@@dinodasbunce6224 i agree i am a zeppelin fan big time, and i hear lots of mistakes page makes....but my point was the band as a whole was great....the chemistry all 4 members came up with made the band what it is. I mean zeppelin has so many catchy Riffs it's mind blowing. Plants voice. Bonhams pounding of the drums...pages and jones music arrangements......all i can say is awesome.....but to me the greatest guitarist i think is Eddie VanHalen.
@@sherminl1284 I don't think that I could pick a greatest guitarist. I have played guitar for over 50 years and I know it is not me, maybe...I can't do it. Since you are an EVH fan, you might find this interesting. I watched an interview with Alice Cooper and he relayed this story. Alice and Glen Campbell were neighbors and best friends, EVH knew this so he asked Alice if he could arrange a guitar lesson from Glen for himself. That is a great testament to Glen's ability on the guitar and of EVH's respect for Glen. And yes, Glen Campbell is one of my top picks along with Eddie Van Halen and quite a few more.
Hi Jamel. I just wanted to let you know my husband loved listening to you. You made him smile. He listened to you while he was very ill with cancer that took him far too soon. He really loved Led Zeppelin. Thank you for bringing joy. God bless you.
Hendrix, Cream, Janis Joplin, Spencer Davis Group, The Animals, Paul Butterfield, Electric Flag, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Taj Mahal, Otis Redding, Carla Davis, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, etc.
Never met a Zep song I didn't like, in fact, Zeppelin is the only band I can listen to their entire library in one go and not ever feel the need to skip to the next track.
This so true. What blows me away is everyone talks a lot about Page, Plant and Bonham, and rightly so, but John Paul Jones is a great musician. The fuz bass at the start, then the Hammond organ. Seems he never get much credit. He was the glue that kept the band bound together.
@@Rekeza I wish we could get that feeling with modern albums. The last time I got the feeling of wonder listening to a debut album was probably in the 90's when there were tons of great bands and hip hop artists competing against each other. I know that sounds like an old man "back in my day" opinion but this current era of music is pretty comparable to how bad the 50's were music wise.
"You Shook Me" is a 1962 blues song recorded by Chicago blues artist Muddy Waters. Willie Dixon wrote the lyrics and Earl Hooker provided the instrumental backing; the song features Waters' vocal in unison with Hooker's slide-guitar melody. "You Shook Me" became one of Muddy Waters' most successful early-1960s singles and has been interpreted by several blues and rock artists
And Nazareth, AC/DC,Aerosmith,Frampton, Boston,Manfred Man,April Wine,The Rolling Stones,, yeah baby I could go all night!,, lol,,, the 70s rocked me too wheeeeew!
Glenna Smith I sort of disagree. Both of my sons and their friends have wide, eclectic musical tastes that span decades as do many of my nieces and nephews. While there are many who are stuck in that monotonous “pop” rut, there are quite a few young people out there who are looped in to good music. And there are still a lot of current bands out there who make real music. Prog bands, some great modern alternative and other stuff.
Imagine a pack of us, circa 1977 in our mid teens, having a house party blasting this entire album. Just being blown away by it, couldn’t get enough. We were the burn out hippies but we had a shitload of harmless fun.
And i at the.tender age of 15 first heard LED ZEPPELIN . Its now 55 years later. I will never grow tired of the legendary mighty LED ZEPPELIN . My funeral party well be blasting LED ZEPPELIN 💯✌️ GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES 😊😊 PARTY ON !
Whenever i need a smile i just come back to this reaction. And when it gets to the point when the organ starts playing the look on your face cracks me up
No, he isn't and never was. Just because he can bend few notes doesn't mean he's " the greatest harmonica player ever". Technically he isn't even a harp player. He's average at best. Anyone can play what he does. It's all very simple. He is no Little Walter, Sugar Blue or Sonny Boy Williamson.
Damn. I’ve listened to this song nearly my whole life because of my big brother playing it on an LP in our room when I was a kid. I forgot how awesome it is until I saw your reaction to hearing it fresh. Thanks. I’m listening with fresh ears and it’s F-word majestic.
Unfortunately there will never be another. The likes of led zeppelin. I was a young buck when they came around and memories of smoken and partying still not faded. Amen
Partner, I’ve been listening to this song for some 40 years and I still react that same way. Something about the blues being done right just hooks you. Not too many folks did the blues more right than the mighty Led Zeppelin.
matt harvey in the 38 minutes for that video we can listen to 8 of the 9 songs on the album. You gotta love how Led Zeppelin fit perfectly on one side of a 90 minutes cassette when the Walkman came out.
I had the great pleasure to see Zeppelin seven times live. I am 70 years young, always on the floor positioned right between Plant and Page. Robert Plant’s jeans left nothing to the imagination. That’s when I started to focus in on the drummer John Bonham. I have seen every drummer worth seeing including Ginger Baker, no one comes close to Bonzo’s talent. During concerts back then when a drummer was about to do his solo, it was a sign for girls to go to the bathroom. Not when Bonham took his solo. He captivated the audience with triple beats and sounds that were incredible, you never knew where he was going to go next but you knew that it wouldn’t disappoint. The entire band was incredible.
"Is the whole song going to be like this?" No, it gets worse (better)!!!!! This and "In My Time Of Dying" are my favorite hardcore blues Zep. Incredible song, ain't it??
Led Zeppelin's 1st album was blues/rock at its best. In my top 20. It blew me away the 1st time I heard it in 1969 , What A Year. The way Jimmy Page & Robert Plant merge guitar & vocals is beautiful
Jamel, just admit it...Led Zep is at the top of your favorites, if not your favorite rock band. The voices and blues background are magical. You're in their groove on every song. Give it up.
In 1969 this was so ahead of it’s time and sounded like nothing else being done. Though they helped open the door to so many bands and genres. Jimmy Page was doing this kind of stuff years earlier with the Yardbirds. He was a visionary! And a genius.
I was listening to this all the time when I was twelve and I loved it. At 52 it sounds just as good, only I can appreciate it even more. Thanks man. You do get it.
_"Stank-face maximus"_ That was hilarious, and perfectly accurate. I believe this song is the closest they came to giving a true homage to the Blues music that so strongly influenced the band, and that era of Brits. The rhythm driving the song, the vocals steering it through the fog, and the guitar calling out for those lost on that road. I hope at some point you will start Reacting to some of the authentic, old school Blues artists. Give us a shout if you're looking for recommendations, but I'd start with this one: ua-cam.com/video/rZiEKbICNjg/v-deo.html
Jamel, watching and listening to your reactions to LZ give me faith in the younger generations who missed out on the best hard, bluesy rock of a lifetime. Now they're getting acquainted with the BEST ROCK BAND EVER! Please keep reacting: Black Dog, Kashmir, Wearing and Tearing ... soooo many genius songs by the band that others tried the shoulders.
I would more specifically recommend the live at the royal albert hall 1970 version of that track, they absolutely blow the roof off with that track in there and that building has a bloody big roof.
Growing up as a little white boy in central Montana, this was my introduction to hard core blues. Went from there to “Blue Eyed” soul with groups like South Side Johnny and the Ashberry Jukes. Finally, started listening to the originals like Howlin Wolf. It is good to know, the blues aren’t dead. Mississippi Blues Child or Mr. Sipp are still out there and making the music that burns down to the soul. Makes one feel all fuzzy on the inside.
Been listening to these guys for 30 years and they still sound as awesome. They have a prime place in the sound track of my life. Feels so good to see you enjoy them as much as I have. Soulful white boys that grew up on American Blues music. None like them. Music will bring them together Peace brother
Robert Plant was 19 years old here. Let THAT sink in.
So was John Bonham. They got thrown out of bars on their first US tour.
Their first tour was as the yardbirds because page still had a contact to honor...fans were upset at first but changed their minds shortly thereafter
It still boggles me where Robert Plant got that voice from at such a young age.
He was actually 20, the same age as John Bonham when the recording was completed in October 1968 @ Olympic Studios in London. John Baldwin (aka John Paul Jones) was 22 and Jimmy Page was 24.
@@martintayler23 have you ever read "Shadows Taller than our souls"? Thats a very cool book

Excellent description 👌
"Stank face maximous!!!" Zeppelin kind of does that to ya.
Maximus. Maximous is a large fucking rat.
So does Plants voice as an instrument inline with Page’s guitar 🎸
And another Led Head is born. Welcome to the family!
Indeed!

I often wonder how much more and how far they could have gone if Bonham didn’t pass.

@@ScottVanArtsdalen I agree. Zep was one of the best blues bands of all time, that happened to be one of the best rock bands of all time too.
This, in my mind, will always hold the spot for the greatest debut album of all time.

Stanky Swampy Tunage.
We called it "bump and Grind" because strippers used that beat for their routines.
Zeppelin still shakin' people decades later. Truly legendary.
This is their DEBUT album. The THIRD song on their DEBUT album. IMAGINE hearing this in 1969

This is a blues song from the great bluesman Willie Dixon. Zep and a lot of the british bands back then were heavy into american blues.
The weren't heavy into it they loved and revered it as a religion. All of em and it truly is amazing music that hits your soul like a baseballbat

They took it beyond the blues to make it super blues. Super, heavy blues. Still my favorite after all these years.

No doubt!

Best Group Ever!! I have listened to All things Zeppelin All my life.
Led Zeppelin's 1st album was blues/rock at its best. In my top 20. It blew me away the 1st time I heard it in 1969 , What A Year.
The way Jimmy Page & Robert Plant merge guitar & vocals is beautiful
Jamel gotta hold on to his head so his brain don't go launching spaceward.
Rich Diana I had the same reaction but it was many years ago and I didn’t know what “Stankface Maximus was back then. :)
What a powerhouse of a song! I know everyone focuses on Jimmy Page, but that harmonica section was ridiculous! It is breathtaking. Thanks Jamel!!
Listen to "I Can't quit you babe" - similar but IMO even better.
This is Southern Blues...their biggest influence. Most great 60's and 70's rock will give thanks to the LEGENDS of the BLUES.
Now That's the God damn blues! I've been listening to rock since the 55s.
If I could only listen to one album the rest of my life, Led Zeppelin One s IT!
If I was allowed five, it would be this, Blind Faith, the Doors first, Bob Dylan's first and Electric Ladyland
Absolutely!
Jamel, just admit it...Led Zep is at the top of your favorites, if not your favorite rock band. The voices and blues background are magical. You're in their groove on every song. Give it up.
That might be the best response vid I've ever seen. Zepp deserves no less.
Traveling Riverside blues great Zeppelin song
Jamal that's exactly how I was first time I heard it.
I'm 80years old this year and still listening to THE MIGHTY ZEP saw Led ZEP in summer of 73PERTH W Australia my ears are still tingling.....
In 1969 this was so ahead of it’s time and sounded like nothing else being done. Though they helped open the door to so many bands and genres. Jimmy Page was doing this kind of stuff years earlier with the Yardbirds. He was a visionary! And a genius.
Kind of sounded like willie Dixon you shook me
I was listening to this all the time when I was twelve and I loved it. At 52 it sounds just as good, only I can appreciate it even more. Thanks man. You do get it.
I'm 67 and I still f****** listen to this music
It just NEVER gets old!
Your face just melted, like everyone else's
This is how we say, "I love you." Isn't love a beautiful thing?
absolutely legendary even after all these years, Had to rewatch this :)
"I don't know how long my face can last." 😂
_"Stank-face maximus"_
That was hilarious, and perfectly accurate.
I believe this song is the closest they came to giving a true homage to the Blues music that so strongly influenced the band, and that era of Brits. The rhythm driving the song, the vocals steering it through the fog, and the guitar calling out for those lost on that road. I hope at some point you will start Reacting to some of the authentic, old school Blues artists. Give us a shout if you're looking for recommendations, but I'd start with this one: ua-cam.com/video/rZiEKbICNjg/v-deo.html
Jamel, watching and listening to your reactions to LZ give me faith in the younger generations who missed out on the best hard, bluesy rock of a lifetime. Now they're getting acquainted with the BEST ROCK BAND EVER! Please keep reacting: Black Dog, Kashmir, Wearing and Tearing ... soooo many genius songs by the band that others tried the shoulders.
Makes me happy to see someone appreciate great music
You should check out I can’t quit you baby from this same album . It’s an awesome song
M 40 true true
I would more specifically recommend the live at the royal albert hall 1970 version of that track, they absolutely blow the roof off with that track in there and that building has a bloody big roof.
Clondyke Productions why not both lol
I disagree. I can't stand that song.
Growing up as a little white boy in central Montana, this was my introduction to hard core blues. Went from there to “Blue Eyed” soul with groups like South Side Johnny and the Ashberry Jukes. Finally, started listening to the originals like Howlin Wolf. It is good to know, the blues aren’t dead. Mississippi Blues Child or Mr. Sipp are still out there and making the music that burns down to the soul. Makes one feel all fuzzy on the inside.
Been listening to these guys for 30 years and they still sound as awesome. They have a prime place in the sound track of my life.
Feels so good to see you enjoy them as much as I have.
Soulful white boys that grew up on American Blues music.
None like them.
Music will bring them together
Peace brother
Unrivaled talent that had no bounds and they knew it at such a young age !
