For anyone wondering what guitar Page used; An excerpt from June 2014 Guitar World Magazine. "It’s hard for people to believe, but I just used my Fender Telecaster for the entire album, except for one track. Somebody was trying to sell me a Gibson Flying V at the time. I don’t what made them think I could afford it, because I clearly couldn’t, but I asked them if I could just try it out. I brought it into Olympic and used it on “You Shook Me.” With those big humbuckers, it was so powerful you can hear it breaking up the amp in the middle of the song. I could’ve tidied it up, but I really liked hearing the amp really struggle to get the sound out. It’s really fighting through the electronics to get out of that speaker. I’m not sure what happened to the guitar. It might’ve found its way to Keith Richards or something, but I really don’t know."
'At our very worst, we were better than most people. And at our very best, we could just wipe the floor with the lot of them.' - John Paul Jones on Led Zeppelin's live shows
Im 64 and was lucky enough to be intrigued by the album cover and the name of the band when I was a kid....what a shock...Ive never stopped appreciating their talents
I personally really like Robert Plant's descending vocal parts, he is also following the guitar if you listen carefully, I think it's a really cool bit, but each to their own of course.
First record I ever bought was Led Zep Shook meI, was 15, started work 14y 9mths early 70’s, I loved this album, but Led Zep are something special, I lived Led Zep from that day on❤️ still play their albums & many others as well.
Robert and Jimmy did that a lot on live performances. This band had so much swagger, they knew they were great. Page had lighting in bottle when looking for members to fill his band. Please react to How Many More Times live version.
At their very heart, Led Zeppelin is a Blues Band first and foremost. The early stuff was their best stuff in my opinion. I liked most all of it, but the raw grittiness of the first 2 albums was absolutely classic stuff.
That is honestly one of my favorite parts of any of their songs...where Robert copies Jimmy's guitar or Jimmy copies Robert's singing with his guitar...both are amazing. And so unique to their sound.
@@DramaSydETV Yeah, you don't like one little element of the song, totally praise it otherwise, and these damn Zep heads won't let you by. I love Zep, but come on! lol
@@DramaSydETV oh hey! Fantastic. I think you will love it. It brings a lot of thunder...especially from Bonhams drums. I think his drum kit needed the ER after that track
I grew up listening to Motown and was introduced on Led Zeppelin and I never looked back, this has to be the all time best debut album of all time, at first listen what you may not like is totally forgotten by the end....
After Robert sings "and I have birds that sing" the second time, you can hear the band laughing in the background because they are just having so much fun being loose in the studio.
Brother, I wore this album out on cassette. I love Zeppelin and this may be weird, but this is my favorite album of theirs start to finish. I listened to it over and over riding backwards in a car around the US in 1990. Nice to see somebody else recognize the absolute brilliance of this as a debut.
I also think they're the greatest band ever, saw them live many times as l teenager and yes Robert Plant made me a very happy teenage girl, Class of 75'✌️🎶
Let's put it this way! You could ask 100 or 1000 or 10,000 ppl who they thought the greatest Rock & Roll band of all time was ??! And I can assure you without any doubt or hesitation!.. Most would say Led Zeppelin!'
Love your insightful reaction. Hard not to appreciate LZs innovative yet nostalgic adaptation of the Blues.......I am so grateful that these four artists met. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.
Led zeppelin is a rabbit whole from which you will never escape. And I couldn't be happier watching you take that journey. Keep it coming. My request. In my time of dying. Much love
This entire album was recorded live in the studio. No mixing or overdubs. Pure magic! Side note...Page and Plant's 1998 album Walking Into Clarksdale was also recorded live in the studio. Not many artists can pull this stuff off.
Plant was using raw talent following Page's guitar with his amazing vocals. It wasn't something he copied from anyone else with this. I love it! It's your channel, but it's hard for me to listen to you criticize something I've loved my entire life. I'm real glad to hear you say Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time because, in my mind, they are absolutely the best and will never be topped!
Understand, but I will never say I love or like something just for subs and views, alot of reactors will do that. I'm just not that guy. Prince is my favorite all time, but I do not like everything he did, does that make him any less of a genius? No.
A Clinic! that is the truth. Loved seeing your face when Plant & Page went back and forth....... I thought you were going to talk about it for 7 minutes after the song :P then the video froze........ Thank you for the reactions. They are top notch.
мой милый брат) я из России) полностью разделяю твои эмоции) эта музыка невероятна) я рос на этой музыки) я горжусь, что люди могут такое творить) спасибо тебе за реакцию) my dear brother) I am from Russia) I fully share your emotions) this music is incredible) I grew up on this music) I am proud that people can do this) thank you for your reaction)
I can't see why ANYONE would give this review a thumbs down. This was straight up spot on. And yes, this was the genesis of what was to come from Led Zeppelin. They announced to the world that this is who they were with this album, and just branched out and totally grew and matured from here with each consecutive album being another step into deeper explorations and realms of their artistic abilities.
First time viewer, long time Zep believer, lol. I love the video and presentation. Your little breaks are noted but continue to keep them brief. Robert Plant's signature is falling or rising notes. He's usually carrying the song, accompanying it, or matching Jimmy Page and what he's playing.
This song was originally written in the early 1950s by a African American delta blues singer and composer by the name of Willie Dixon out of Chicago Illinois. Willie Dixon also wrote songs and composed songs for Fats Domino Chubby Checker Chuck Berry and James Brown. He was compensated by Led Zeppelin for rearranging this track.
Zeppelin was the band that made me obsessed with rock music. Jimmy Page was all that was needed to start me off on a love of lead guitar--I have loved many genres and still do(punk, post punk, glam-rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc) but one band I consistently return to, is Zeppelin and will continue to do so, until I need a hearing aid. Perhaps beyond--maybe Sazed and Confused at my funeral or In My Time of Dying, of course hahaha. Just saying ;)
I didn’t disagree with anything you said. Remember, this was high water music in Britain at the time. Some seriously rehearsed talent. Listen to Yardbirds from the Little Games album, Clapton on Mayall’s “Beano” album. Check out Arthur Brown’s song, Fire. Britain was on fire with music then.
Check out You Shook Me in the BBC Sessions album. Even though Zeppelin were masters of the Studio Version songs, their live stuff takes it to a whole new place.
This is one of the Zep songs where i'm usually like... "Eh, let's skip this one.". But then someone doesn't LET me skip it, and i'm like... "Oh yeah... fuck, i forgot about how awesome this is!".
Might I humbly suggest you react to Janis Joplin Ball & Chain live at Monterey, 1967. You seem to like blues, and she did it AWESOMELY!!!! You won't be sorry.
Haven’t even finished watching, nailed it... “the call and response!!!” 👏🏼👏🏼 If you get the time check out some Doobie Brothers. Listen to the Music, China Grove, Long Train Runnin’, Jesus is Just Alright, Black Water, and my fav, Takin’ It to the Streets... All 70’s joints; I think you’ll get into it.
all I'll say 1969 this album came out people didn't know what to make of this band they were so far ahead of everyone music-wise !! They were the Greatest period .
No arguments brother.. Zepp rules the roost.. Paying homage to their hero's Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson.. In their own way of course.. Cheers
Zeppelin were great admirers of old school, black blues as we're other UK 60s bands like the Rolling Stones The Who and Pink Floyd. You don't like slide guitar? Robert Plant on vocals and harmonica.

'At our very worst, we were better than most people. And at our very best, we could just wipe the floor with the lot of them.' - John Paul Jones on Led Zeppelin's live shows
An excellent and succinct summary of Led Zep. Well said JPJ
True.
Facts!
❤️
Zeppelin is freaking awesome! Never a bad song...I love them! Harmonica is played by the singer Robert Plant. Simply the best band ever!
The absolute best! Yes indeed.
Infinite %
Im 64 and was lucky enough to be intrigued by the album cover and the name of the band when I was a kid....what a shock...Ive never stopped appreciating their talents
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.
There's the Led blues and then everyone else. No argument.
I personally really like Robert Plant's descending vocal parts, he is also following the guitar if you listen carefully, I think it's a really cool bit, but each to their own of course.
And to think they were only 20 years old ... greatness at an early age!🤘🏻
and white
1969, 50 freaking years old. Plus they were in their early 20’s!
One of the greatest songs evermade on a debut album phenomenal
Yes the greatest band of all time you nailed it
5 Stars for saying they're the greatest band, because they are.
This is what happens when four individuals who should have worked together, actually do work together.
First record I ever bought was Led Zep Shook meI, was 15, started work 14y 9mths early 70’s, I loved this album, but Led Zep are something special, I lived Led Zep from that day on❤️ still play their albums & many others as well.

Yeah👍
At their very heart, Led Zeppelin is a Blues Band first and foremost. The early stuff was their best stuff in my opinion. I liked most all of it, but the raw grittiness of the first 2 albums was absolutely classic stuff.
That thing that you didn't like was Plant using his voice as an instrument, trying to mimic the guitar with wha wha
I think he finally figured it out at the end.
i did but i've already been bashed in the comments so i'm done lol
@@DramaSydETV Not fair that you got bashed. I hope you're not done with Zep because of it..
That is honestly one of my favorite parts of any of their songs...where Robert copies Jimmy's guitar or Jimmy copies Robert's singing with his guitar...both are amazing. And so unique to their sound.
@@DramaSydETV Yeah, you don't like one little element of the song, totally praise it otherwise, and these damn Zep heads won't let you by. I love Zep, but come on! lol
The sickest blues with the sickest harmonica... That's what you want to listen? There is only ONE answer: "When Levee Breaks"
I think you might be on to something with this Led Zeppelin band
1970 took this album, plus Hendrix Electric Ladyland and some others to Majorca, Spain in the holidays - what a blast.
Yeah their use of the harmonica in "When the levee breaks" is fire
that is in the next stack of reactions!
@@DramaSydETV oh hey! Fantastic. I think you will love it. It brings a lot of thunder...especially from Bonhams drums. I think his drum kit needed the ER after that track
Led Zeppelin came out swinging! and toke no prisoners from the start! The Greatest Band Ever Assembled! 🔥🎸🇬🇧👍🏽
Led Zepp... Is the "BEST"... 👍👍👍
I will not argue...they are the greatest band of all time! And Jimmy Page is my Guitar God brother!
What a cool way to say "fire". Love it! Being a zephead for decades, I enjoy your reactions so much.
Like I said. TY to My Pop for Shook Me. My Favorite Led Zeppelin song. Kashmir & The Rover off of Physical Grafetti is HOT 🔥
Great harmonica song:"When The Levee Breaks" by Zep
If you watch a lot of their live shows that's what they do they go back and forth never seen anything like it unbelievable
Love that you changed your mind as the song progressed!
I grew up listening to Motown and was introduced on Led Zeppelin and I never looked back, this has to be the all time best debut album of all time, at first listen what you may not like is totally forgotten by the end....
After Robert sings "and I have birds that sing" the second time, you can hear the band laughing in the background because they are just having so much fun being loose in the studio.
I would agree, best band of all time. Only 4 of them and they needed each one of them to make that magic.
Plant is only 19 here!
Brother, I wore this album out on cassette. I love Zeppelin and this may be weird, but this is my favorite album of theirs start to finish. I listened to it over and over riding backwards in a car around the US in 1990. Nice to see somebody else recognize the absolute brilliance of this as a debut.
Add Bring It On Home to your list...and by the way, John Paul Jones was playing the keyboards and the bass (with foot pedals) at the same time.
love ur honesty. this is definitely not a fake reaction.
I also think they're the greatest band ever, saw them live many times as l teenager and yes Robert Plant made me a very happy teenage girl, Class of 75'✌️🎶
One of the best reactions I've ever seen. The knowledge and understanding of Zeppelin's music is amazing, second to none
Let's put it this way! You could ask 100 or 1000 or 10,000 ppl who they thought the greatest Rock & Roll band of all time was ??! And I can assure you without any doubt or hesitation!.. Most would say Led Zeppelin!'
I agree, sir!
GOAT (Saw then live once.)
Love your insightful reaction. Hard not to appreciate LZs innovative yet nostalgic adaptation of the Blues.......I am so grateful that these four artists met. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.
Led zeppelin is a rabbit whole from which you will never escape. And I couldn't be happier watching you take that journey. Keep it coming. My request. In my time of dying. Much love
I love this swagger attitude oozing out of this song.
This is Zep's perfect example of their 'tight-n-loose' style.
This entire album was recorded live in the studio. No mixing or overdubs. Pure magic! Side note...Page and Plant's 1998 album Walking Into Clarksdale was also recorded live in the studio. Not many artists can pull this stuff off.
Sorry, but there's definitely overdubs on this album, minimal but there. For a clear example, the guitar solo is played over the rhythm guitar, etc.
He learning! Sit back, mellow out and feel the vibe.
Oh, that's Plant on harmonica btw.
Your spot on, they are the true meaning of rock @roll, or maybe raunch and roll. They have sexual themes. Love em!
Greatest rock band, no filler, every song on every album is worthy. but Ozzy is still king of metal.
My fave... That organ! That mouth harp... Lord Robert Plant...!! !Lemon Song the bomb too. .
Plant was using raw talent following Page's guitar with his amazing vocals. It wasn't something he copied from anyone else with this. I love it! It's your channel, but it's hard for me to listen to you criticize something I've loved my entire life.

The goat !
The voice dragging is a musical choice and the singer who is doing that is also the one you’re praising for his harmonica skills.
A Clinic! that is the truth. Loved seeing your face when Plant & Page went back and forth....... I thought you were going to talk about it for 7 minutes after the song :P then the video froze........
Thank you for the reactions. They are top notch.

A good and fair summary.
This is pure blues....amped up Zeppelin style. I love the whole thing. You gotta understand where that comes from.
I can't see why ANYONE would give this review a thumbs down. This was straight up spot on. And yes, this was the genesis of what was to come from Led Zeppelin. They announced to the world that this is who they were with this album, and just branched out and totally grew and matured from here with each consecutive album being another step into deeper explorations and realms of their artistic abilities.
i appreciate that, i probably won't cover a band i love though because i don't feel like arguing the comment section about why i have an opinion
@@DramaSydETV That's understandable.
The original Muddy Waters version of "You Shook Me" trailed off somewhat the same way. They were just being true to the material.
Yes! You nailed my friend! greatest band of all time!
First time viewer, long time Zep believer, lol. I love the video and presentation. Your little breaks are noted but continue to keep them brief.
Robert Plant's signature is falling or rising notes. He's usually carrying the song, accompanying it, or matching Jimmy Page and what he's playing.
Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin... shook hands with him in 2016... chatted on phone with Commodores bassist Ronald LaPread too! no bullshit.
Oh there's no argument, there are some great great bands out there but there is only one called The Greatest..and it's Led Zeppelin
Great reaction bro. Zeppelin = Goat
This song was originally written in the early 1950s by a African American delta blues singer and composer by the name of Willie Dixon out of Chicago Illinois. Willie Dixon also wrote songs and composed songs for Fats Domino Chubby Checker Chuck Berry and James Brown. He was compensated by Led Zeppelin for rearranging this track.
I you want something fairly recent try Kashmir from the Celebration Day performance...
LZ was steeped in the blues.
Love the reactions I just subscribed
Thank you, glad to have you!!!
The deep Mississippi blues...that's their inspiration
N the rest is history record took off like a bat out of hell people are like omgd listen too those riffs after this dazed n confused comes on
Well done! Great reaction! I agree with you. And Robert Plant does play harmonica well.
Zeppelin was the band that made me obsessed with rock music. Jimmy Page was all that was needed to start me off on a love of lead guitar--I have loved many genres and still do(punk, post punk, glam-rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc) but one band I consistently return to, is Zeppelin and will continue to do so, until I need a hearing aid.

Check out You Shook Me in the BBC Sessions album. Even though Zeppelin were masters of the Studio Version songs, their live stuff takes it to a whole new place.
Try the lemon song
Led Zeppelin put some STANK on it!!!
Howlin Wolf said it best--everybody gets the blues
Time for you to dig into the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Paul is phenomenal on harmonica.
East/West is one of their best albums.
This is one of the Zep songs where i'm usually like... "Eh, let's skip this one.". But then someone doesn't LET me skip it, and i'm like... "Oh yeah... fuck, i forgot about how awesome this is!".
Might I humbly suggest you react to Janis Joplin Ball & Chain live at Monterey, 1967. You seem to like blues, and she did it AWESOMELY!!!! You won't be sorry.
You're right when you say that Led Zep aren't the best of all time, but I know none better.
fair enough!
Insane!
Haven’t even finished watching, nailed it... “the call and response!!!” 👏🏼👏🏼
If you get the time check out some Doobie Brothers. Listen to the Music, China Grove, Long Train Runnin’, Jesus is Just Alright, Black Water, and my fav, Takin’ It to the Streets... All 70’s joints; I think you’ll get into it.

There playing like down home delta blues like B.B
King.
Top notch...
I say English Blues inspired by Chicago Blues
Badass ..
"The Lemon Song"
peace (from the UK)
Very deep South sounding.
I like what you said ..
Definitely some stank face going on there SydE. 👍
It's the Blues on steroids, young man.
No arguments brother.. Zepp rules the roost.. Paying homage to their hero's Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson.. In their own way of course.. Cheers
❤
Lol, I think this is the song that I caught the Zep bug from.
Nice shirt brotha

Plant was 19 when he recorded this....consider that.
