#ledzeppelin #freethinkers - Zábava
This song was written by a husband and wife duo in 1929 about the great Mississippi flood. Led Zep just zeppified it to perfection.
Came here to say this. Thanks!
@EricBaumgartner Yes! Thank you!
Did not know
The Memphis Minnie and Kansas City Joe version is very different on appearance, but not. I like both. I was surprised how much the Led Zeppelin remake sounded similar.
You beat me to it. And George heard it too
The singer Robert Plant plays the harmonica in on this track.
No way, I didn't know that! Wonderful! Plant is a gem. Absolute icon.
@@tjbrock2799 nope..it was Plant
@@Cinder_311 As we say around here (Planty is a local guy... Met him several times), That fella plays a mean gob-iron.
Robert played it. @@tjbrock2799
@@neilandfiBOSTIN!
The drum beat is one of the backbones and most sampled beats in hip hop.
Most notably Rhymin' & Stealin' by the Beastie Boys.
"Midnight" by Ice T too. Both songs sample Black Sabbath as well.
And Kim by eminem
The guitar riff from Sweat Leaf by Black Sabbath is sampled in Rhymin' & Stealin'.
@@hansvandermeulen5515 Ah yes my first thoughts exactly
When the drummer, John Bonham died, the band said we cannot continue. Best BAND EVER.
There are a lot of better bands
@@loveexposure3351 LOL
@@UUCCACPCProtectionTeamUnit What is funny?
@@loveexposure3351 Such as?
@@akerman79 Slowdive, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, Velvet Underground, King Crimson, Swans and many more
Saying it "sounded like the Mississippi back water" is probably the greatest compliment you could give to the members of Zeppelin They would love that, and feel humbled if I know anything about them.
The original song was about the Great Mississippi flood of 1927. It was performed by Memphis Minnie, a big time Mississippi Delta blues musician. The song literally is straight out of the Mississippi backwater. They nailed it perfectly
Bonham's beats were used long before Kanye. Going back to the 80's
Chris Kavanagh yes!!!
@Marc8533 lyrics in blues has always been interchangeable to area. Shit has been that way for decades.
@Marc8533 You can make a case about swiping material from other artists and I won't argue with you, but don't you dare stand there and tell me Led Zeppelin were not talented.
Besides, they had their own copyright fight on their hands years later when hip-hop artist started sampling their shit, also without credit. So what goes around comes around. There are only twelve notes in the western musical scale, and if you listen to enough music, you will certainly hear a combination of those twelve notes that you've heard before.
"Anyone that's playing a harmonica, something bad happened". 😂
Gold. Keep shining guys!
😅
Listen to the harp on " Nobody's Fault But Mine" about a heroin addict ( Jimmy).
Robert Plant played the harmonica, but all those guys were multitalented. Jimmy
Page can play anything with strings. John Bohoum could play anything you could hit and John Paul Jones could just play anything. All fantastic!
"Swampy" might be the word you gents were looking for.
Swampy is totally the word for this, but can anyone explain why my mind associates these sounds with a swamp?
@@LindysRuffians It's easy to associate swamp rock with the deep American south, mostly because the instruments used, like the harmonica, are prevalent in those parts of the country (like Mississippi, etc). In the deep south, what can you also frequently find? Gators and swamps, baby.
The song is based on the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Original song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929.
Janet Mayer I can only hope Ryan & George read this post.
RIP Wilbur "Kansas Joe" McCoy & Lizzie "Memphis Minnie" Douglas
Thanks for the info, going to look him up!
What?Led Zeppelin not writing an original song?I'm shocked XD
Yes but also, obviously, works metaphorically.
Robert Plant, the leader singer, played the harmonica as well.
Damn rite. If you want to hear the greatest harmonica solo ever. Nobody's fault but mine
Camden Or the live version of Bring it on Home from how the west was won
J. K., One of may favorite wall of sound moments, when the rhythm section comes in
Camden Harper how many more times, bring it on home
According to the wikipedia entry, "Page recorded Plant's harmonica part using the backward echo technique, putting the echo ahead of the sound when mixing."
Both Robert Plant a John Bohnam had a huge background in studying and playing blues. If you're not familiar, listen to their first 4 albums, specifically. Love what you guys are doing. I'm a Tool fan, Jazz fan, and a lover of music in general. I love that you two are stepping outside of your comfort zone and severely checking out other genres. Music is the only common language between all humans.
My all time favorite Led Zeppelin song. It's IMPOSSIBLE to not like this track.
theres a reason why zeppelin ruled the world at one time.....their collection of music is untouchable
still rule
Lighter up
When the Levee Breaks isn't their song. It's by Memphis Minnie (old blues artist). Zeppelin covered it on their 4th album.
@@marc8828 a lot of old blues songs were covered by the 70s generation(clapton, zep,jimmy)and i see no problem with it, but wish more people new about the roots!
@@coolk714 I never said there was a problem with it though. I was just replying to D Alcala clarifying that it isn't their song (because some people think it is). Still one of my favorite covers ever.
This should be played at high volume, preferably in a residential area
That's next to a river...
I allways play Zep loud theres no other way
This deserves more likes.
Dre. Lyrical Gangbang Intro
🤣🤣🤣
When the Levee Breaks is actually one of the most sampled songs in hip hop, historically speaking. It do be a hip hop beat.
Still the greatest drum track ever recorded. And Zeppelin's absolute high point
When the Levee Breaks was recorded in a stairwell of Headley Grange in rural Hampshire, England. A mansion, built in 1795, that used to be a potters house, an orphanage and a vocational center over the years. Bonham, the drummer, sat in a booth at the front entrance and cranked away on the drums while the rest of the band played around him on the stairwell. It was a Blues Song about a Mississippi Flood in the 1920's. An absolute classic. They recorded most of the Led Zeppelin IV album at the mansion, as well as some parts of their other albums. It was vacant at the time and they rented it out specifically to record the album. They said it was a very damp, haunted and cold mansion with a lot of history, and they loved returning to the site.
True story. That stairway is included in a documentary on Zep.
There wasn’t a booth. John had just got a new drum set and set it up in the entrance way and began playing with it. Jimmy heard it and grabbed microphones. The mics were brought up 4 flights of stairs and THAT is were the thundering echo comes from.
@@dylanhealy8126 they used a box that Jimmy had brought. Thats what gives it the echo.
@@69JayBee A box?
And no it was mics hanging in the stairwell, but only on the 2nd floor, not 4th like I originally said
@@dylanhealy8126 The tone and reverb of those drums comes from the mic positions in the stairwell, yes, but they DID sweeten it up with an echoplex, that's where the actual slapback echo sound comes from, so it's not all 100% natural as legend supposedly has it. Great drum sound, though.
Zeppelin to me, is the greatest Rock band to grace us.
I always say the same thing
Correct answer.
How many hours did I spend, high, with the cans on full blast, listening to Zep when each album (yes, they were albums) came out? This band simply cannot be beat for lyrical artistry and musical talent.
AGREED
i think TOOL is
Fun fact, this song gets that dreary melancholy timbre because after all instrument tracks were recorded, they were slowed down before Plant laid down the vocals over it. Super cool sound from the minds of Page and Eddie Kramer
Cool bit of trivia, thanks! Love the vibe of this song
Loved seeing this reaction, and lost it at "When you hear a harmonica, something bad happened". So true 😂🤣😅
Harmonica player is Robert Plant, by the way
He definitely sounds awesome at it.
RP is a great harmonica player, check Nobody's Fault but Mine!
I wish more bands played a harmonica. It's sick!!
Watched him play this once while working s a stageand, and even ended up with the harp.
Hell yeah!
Was mighty blessed to see Zepplin do this live in 1973. I was 19. Now, I'm 64 and love this song as much now (if not more) than when I was a teenager. I have watched this video many times because your reactions to this classic are priceless. Good on y'all for being open to so many genres of music :)

Deborah, I am envious of you.
LZ did not play this in 1973. They only played it a total of 4 times, with all of them happening in January 1975. So, unless you saw them in Holland, Belgium, Minnesota or Chicago, then you would not have heard it.
@@unclenam137 I saw them in Minneapolis, MN in January. Perhaps I do have the year wrong, but the only person I can try to verify this with is my ex-husband and we haven't spoken in decades. At any rate, if I am incorrect about the year, it was not done intentionally. Have a blessed day :)
Nice One Deborah, Must Have Been Amazing! 🐝
I feel very lucky to have this music be the soundtrack of my youth and LOVE seeing people experience it for the first time. It was a time where music told stories and musicians played with so much passion. Bonham's drum track on this was groundbreaking.
That drum beat, has been sampled in countless hip-hip songs. So yes! It is a “boom bap” beat! Hail John Bonham!
The drums at the beginning are one of the most famous breaks in hip hop...
chaz exactly! It’s the opening track on License to Ill from the Beastie Boys. It’s like these guys have zero music history! Don’t get me wrong I like their channel, but dudes did you guys grow up under a rock???
one of the most famous breaks ever
Coldcut, Beats and pieces
My son plays this song on the drums and can't get enough of it.
Eh The ghost of Neil Peart would disagree
So funny how they're kinda scared to say the drums sound like a hip hop beat, when in fact Bonham's drums on "When The Levee Breaks" is probably the most sampled backbeat in all of hip hop. They've probably heard that drum intro a hundred times in modern hip hop tracks....because it's the BOMB! My favorite Zeppelin song ever!
Billy Squire's the Big Beat is the most sampled rock song.
Hah! Allright then Steve. Well, I did say "probably" the most sampled beat. Thanks for the scoop, I'll put that to use at the round of next bar trivia for sure.
Levee has been sampled in 182 songs, most notably Kim by Eminem and Rhymin’ and Stealing by Beastie Boys. Big Beat has been sampled in 282 songs, most notably 99 Problems by Jay Z and Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys. The actual winner is Amen, Brother by The Winstons which has been sampled in 2,945 songs, most notably in Straight Outta Compton by NWA and (yes, you’re reading this right) the Futurama theme song. Settled. With research.
Amen Brother by The Winston's is, by far, the most sampled breakbeat
Steve Merrin - Alot of people put Billy down but I think he's a badass.
If you guys would react to Zeppelins song “In my time of dying” you will forever be changed 💙🎸🎸🎤💙 I promise.

Love that you guys loved it after only 10 seconds!
One does not simply call the great John bonham A drummer, he's THE Drummer
The naysayers would say Keith Moon
But those that really know say Bonham.
Love Zeppelin I do but for me personally it is Levon Helm all day
Bonzo IS king, but the holy trinity for me will always be him, Moon, and Neil Peart.
@@gnomesaiyan1680 Keith and John are drummers. Neil's a percussionist! But love 'em all!

I love Bonzo, but Ginger Baker is hands down the greatest drummer of all time.
Here before it gets taken down 😂
Good Music savage
yup
This was the end credits song in The Big Short as a musical metaphor for the collapsing financial system. It was the perfect choice!
Thats robert plant on the harmonica..hes the singer also and a friend.
I believe that is harmonica recorded and played backwards. Trippy
@@monkeyman49100 probably is
I was wondering who was playing that. Thank you!
Saw the title. Knew I had to get here quick before Led Zeppelin comes and takes it haha great review!
Well said at the start.
I had never heard this song until you did this reaction, now listening to all Led's albums.
Gavin Petrie welcome to the club! You will be hooked for life! I’ve been listening to them since I was a wee child, thanks to my aunts and uncles.
I bought Zepllin 1 in 1969 at 19. Been lovin them ever since. At first I was, "what the heck was thst?". IDK better listen again. Enjoy. Lots of great tunes...go all the way back and have a great musical journey
Good decision!
I’m so envious, Gavin. I discovered Zeppelin at 12 or 13. (51 now.) I then bought the entire catalogue, one or two albums at a time. Getting to know every record was an adventure. When you get to Physical Graffiti, you’ll never come back. I’d give anything to experience that again. Enjoy.
trust me youll be hooked. i have been since my dad introduced them to me at 8 years old.
I always thought that harmonica in the intro sounded like freight train horn sounding. I love this song!
Been listening to this song for twenty years and never took it so literally until u guys. Cryin an prayin aint gonna do you no good
John Bonham's intro on this song When the Levee Breaks is one of the most powerful drum intros ever.
It was actually recorded from down a stairwell
@Imran Khan About half of Dr. Dre's catalog, too.
Joh. Bonham= ultra level G
@Imran Khan yep the Beastie Boys on the map that drum fill right there. And I love the Beastie Boys they played their own instruments man they were awesome and at the time they came out everybody that was into for that type of music wanted to be them just awesome.
Vann Lindsey the drum track was recorded at the bottom of a stairwell in Jimmy Page’s old mansion.
Such a classic. Great one guys! Their BBC sessions is phenomenal
The early days and in Denmark _Robert's voice has that raw screamin power of expression you can REALLY feel!
Amber S That BBC sessions CD is top drawer
Listen to “Since I’ve been loving you” from Zeppelin!!!!
That is my favorite one😍
Damn good rec, that song is like a sledgehammer to drywall. Way overpowered tool for the job.
Endless shout outs & eternal mad props to Wilbur "Kansas Joe" McCoy & Lizzie "Memphis Minnie" Douglas, the original songwriters & performers
Amen
"When the Lebee Breaks" has more legendary guitar riffs packed into 1 song than most bands have in their entire catalog! One of my all time favorites. Great review guys!
Those brits took the American based blues rock n roll music- refined, fine tuned and perfected it & gave it back to us.
Apparently when Kansas went over to UK they wanted to learn the kind of prog things British musicians were doing but the Brits just wanted to hear any blues they knew.
old school blues is perfect already.
@@ddehggial9932 delta blues are good, but chicago blues are better.
Lotsa Brit bands fr the 60s did that in the 70s.
I agree their version of when the Levi breaks is a great peace of music the hamoica is real good on vinyl which I have the original ledzepp 4 an treasure it
The song gets it’s very elongated sound due to the fact that it was actually played in the studio much much faster. The genius was Jimmy Page knew what he wanted the song to sound like, but in slow motion. That’s also what gives the drums that echo effect. That, as well as what other comments mentioned about the Headley Grange stairwell. They also used something called reverse reverb. This was all groundbreaking stuff at the time.
Plus all the foil John stuck in the bass drum.
Notice that the drummer is in a different meter than the rest of the band. It is incredible. John Bonham is an animal.
The vocals are all over the place but eventually come together on the 4. This track is mathematics
Every member of Led Zeppelin shines in every song, just that some members have songs where they take the lead.
Yes, a lot of the British rock bands were HEAVILY influenced by American blues, they were into it before even a lot of American rock groups were.
Yes. I heard Robert Plant loved American Blues
This was literally written by Mississippi blues artists
Led Zeppelin wouldn't exist without American blues. Nor would the Stones.....and so many more.
Peace!
We took it from you guys, America forgot about the superb black American blues players and music. Yet in the UK we loved it! Re invented it in different format and brought it back. Rolling Stones et all
@@YoYo_Ma Rock n roll, Jazz, Heavy Rock wouldn't exist without black American blues.
"any time you hear a harmonica, something bad happened" Thats one of the best quotes ive heard in a long time.
We have Ennio Morricone to thank for that
lmao so true
YES!!!!!
Loved, loved , loved the enthusiasm of this reaction. You guys are a riot
Man I had so much fun seeing you two enjoy this so much. Brilliant analysis to aheavy heavy classic.
Zeppelin, like all of the early British hard rock bands that gave birth to heavy metal (e.g. Black Sabbath, Cream, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin) were basically filtering American blues back through an amplified guitar tone.
“When the Levee Breaks” is an even more direct reflection of this influence, as it’s a straight-up reworking of the 1928 blues song of the same name by the American blues artists “Kansas Joe” and “Memphis Minnie”, and it’s about the Great Mississippi Flood of the 1920s (I want to say 1925?).
Great review, love the channel!
I think 1927.
Yeah it's crazy how american artists had such a profound effect on Britain. That British artists mimicked their style and would in the future, influence american artists. Everything comes full circle
(Looks it up) - You are correct, sir!
@@B355Y even outside of blues rock in the 60s, the back and forth between the Beatles and the Beach Boys both being heavily inspired by the other and then trying to one up each other with each new album. And that's how we got Sgt Pepper's and Pet Sounds, both being very easily arguable as the best albums ever. It was a whole community thing, music transcends borders and countries, its the universal language
@@duffman18 exactly. I couldn't agree with you more
One of the awesome things about Zep is that you can listen to a zep album and hear straight blues songs, celtic folk songs or rock songs, they had a very wide eclectic style
Yes!!!!! No Quarter is my favorite 2nd fave Achilles last stand. Bottom line they had magic there compositions were beyond amazing. May sound silly but just talking about there music gives me chills.
@@The_funni_numberman you got in on Zeppelin's Magick qaulity. Jimmy Paige bought Aleister Crowley's house on the south-east side of Lake Loch Ness called Boleskine Manor and did some recording there.
@@knightscroftsquire-muldoon sorry dude no LZ tracks were ever recorded in Crowleys house !
drums were done at headley grange using some echo equipment.
An edited version. Rubbish.
Love you guys, great review
You nailed it...this is straight Cajun/Louisiana blues sound!👏💯👍❤
"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
"When the Levee Breaks" was re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on Led Zeppelin IV, released in 1971. The lyrics in Led Zeppelin's version, credited to Memphis Minnie and the individual members of Led Zeppelin,[1] were partially based on the original recording. Many other artists have also recorded versions of the song or played it live.
Thank you Wikipedia
czcams.com/video/vFBpqR7eLc4/video.html
Thank you from saving me from having to do all that heavy lifting to explain the history of this legitimate blues song.
I think Katrina and the events that followed brought this song into the 21st century.
"Whoever played the harmonica" - it was Robert Plant. I love the enthusiasm these guys display though. I once heard this track come booming out of a bar - I was out in the street and you could hear those motherfucking drums over the traffic noise, it was beautiful . Bonham was a monster.
Yes he was❤
That's when those drums hit yo soul
Cool description, I can totally see the scene you described!
I love the balance you guys give. You were listening to this song from your heads, hearts and guts. The way it ought to be
I would wholeheartedly like to thank the black community for inspiring groups like Zep to make this amazing music
True fact!!!!!! Without jazz and blues those there would be no rock. I love seeing black Americans discovering Led Zeppelin who was inspired and imitated American Blues. Its so perfect.
Howlin Wolf.... Muddy Waters... long long list... all American music is black music
@@kikivon3501 For real, almost all of the best Rock bands take great inspiration from old blues, jazz, and funk musicians.
@@izatafactnow Yeah, well, you're not wrong... all the good music, anyway ^___^
@@izatafactnow utter rubbish. That's ignoring all the input from, to name a few, immigrants from Ireland, Scotland and England
My favourite Zeppelin tune. Hands down. Greatest end to an album ever. Period. Amazing album, amazing exit.
Daddy Pobbin i love it, but u dont think achilles last stand is better?
There are probably 20 Zeppelin songs that someone could name as their favorite, and I would have zero arguments. Achilles Last Stand is one, but my favorite is When the Levee Breaks simply because it sounds like it could have come from their first 2 harder rock albums or from Physical Graffiti where they get deeper into blues, but it’s smack in the middle on IV. Perfect song imo.
Led Zeppelin 4 is the shit! Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog, Stairway, and literally every song on that Album help define music as we know it today! Epic choice, all time favorite without a doubt!
Just found this video. I’ve known this song for 25 years+ and it’s one of my favorites but watching you two get immersed in it for the first time actually gave me the shivers. Power of music, baby! Good vid!
Can't believe you boys never heard the maybe single best blues/rock tune in recorded history! Glad you dig it! 🙌💕
Bonhams drum track was recorded in a stairwell to get that “dirty” sound. RIP Bonzo, god wanted drum lessons so he called him home 😢
Binson Echorec, 2 x beyer 160's halfway up the staircase and a shit load of compression, it was also described by Andy Johns as more of a small hotel lobby rather than a stairwell, Andy Johns is the guy who actually set it all up, there is a lot of crap talked about this not least by Page who wasn't even there when the drum track was recorded.
@@RushfanUK perfect
It did use a echo device though, Rick beato explains this on his channel
Or the devil...:) lol
He teaching stutter kicks to jesus now
They used backwards echo on the harmonica. Genius move, the echo comes before its origins. Page was a master producer.
Yes he was!
Ask the people he stole stairway to heaven from
@@caseywalker1714 stole? It's been tried in court, I recall... yet, isn't "influenced" or something, more 'in the spirit of music' kind of a thing feel better? If music is stolen, then Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Greig, etc etc need to come back & collect there royalties!! Hahaha
@@carysatch The went to court paid for stealing it then had a non-disclosure agreement put in. I'm sure you believe Elvis wrote/played/or maybe came up with Hound Dog... It has went on forever. Research publishing and it works & you might get why some of the people who know (like me) have a bitter taste about this type of behavior
@@caseywalker1714of course there are countless cases of the same, I'm reminded of The Doors battle over "Light My Fire" ... yet the thing about music can be amorphous; Robert Plant really enjoyed hearing Dred Zeppelin, he said it was "wonderful", yet never mentioned any animosity over them re-interpreting their music.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery!
Also, thanks for the reply, I just see music as more intrinsic by nature, and much less proprietary.... almost spiritual, meant for sharing, not owning. Flexible, maliable, and symbiotic for BOTH player and listener.
We are all only vibrations really... similar to music... each our own version of the same song.
Thanks again! Keep on ROCKIN!
The opening of the drums just gives you the chills of what’s this!? As you keep hearing the blues hits you hard and you know you can’t get enough of… you realize later you where in the deep of rock n roll. You in Led Zeppelin world.
You guys are great, love watching your reviews 👍
This drum sound has been sampled many times for hip hop, it's so big and powerful.
In the sixty and seventy I listen to great Motown music as I got older I discovered Led Zeppelin. So glad to see young blacks discovering the music of my teens. You guys are right Zeppelin was a true blues band. Great job.
Unquestionably the greatest Zeppelin song. Can listen on repeat over and over. I agree totally. Its so good
I love watching you guys experiencing, for the first time, the music I grew up listening to.
Keep it going!!!
May I introduce you to the
GREATEST rock drummer ever,
Mr. John Bonham!!!!!!
May you live forever
and a day.
Rest in peace.
Lora Rolins Neil Peart?
Power drummer. Bobham kills it! His fills are nasty and that kick would have sent the Germans off the Somme. Love it! But I’m going with Peart on technical precision.
I would agree with you on
Neil, but, when Bonham was even halfway sober, his own precision would hold up.
A GOOD example is
"Good times, bad times".
Neil Peart and John Bonham are the best drummers rock has ever seen,both have a lot in common, but they are also as different as night and day.
One just simply makes it look and sound hard,
The other is the
Hammer of the Gods!!!!!!
John Bonham was great, but if you're talking about "rock" drummers, I wouldn't ever leave out Danny Carey. even if you don't like Tool's music, he's an absolute magician, and especially original.
These two guys are the coolest, reviewing legendary music that truly unites us as people, enjoy my brothers
This is my favorite song!! And its dope watching yall review it!! This is great man👍👍
your reaction videos are the reason other people even have reaction videos. Y'alls was the first and the best!
Led Zep - Song remains the same - since I’ve been loving you What I show people to show the power of Zeppelin!
John Bonham, baby. The best and nastiest drummer ever.
Nasty as hell. So fucking good
Followed by Kieth Moon
Even Neal Pert idolized him.
kelly sorrentini Keith is number 1 in my book.
Bonham and Danny Carey are my two favorites
The way they did this is just unimaginable, they were in different stories, then they change the key to make it work....love you guys, thank you for everything yall do, love yall 💚💚💚
I think the reason I like watching you guys discover tracks that I grew up loving is because it reminds me a bit of what I was thinking and feeling when I heard it for the first time. Over the years it just didnt hit the same but you guys bring it back a bit for me :D.
When The Levee Breaks is a jam.
I’m child of the 80’s and grew up listening to classic rock. So I don’t remember listening to so many classics for the first time. It’s great living vicariously through you guys!
Sean Mathers exactly. Plus when I heard these songs for the first time it was just cheap radio sound quality. I really like reactions with good sound quality, because I have not heard the musical intricacies before on a lot of old music, until some reaction videos. I wish this one had better sound quality for those of us listening/watching. But it is obviously good enough for them, as it was for me, in my youth.
I've been watching a lot of these reaction videos recently and I'm getting a lot of affirmation that quality will tell.
No matter what your background, the legendary groups are legendary for a reason.
Well put!
Standing the test of time is the greatest accomplishment anyone can achieve . Musical acts , athletes , actors , etc . You can tell the difference between legacy and hype , after time has been tested . Most fail , very few pass .
Excellent point
It one of the most greatest drummer riff ever..
THE greatest!!!
Led Zeppelin is what I play when I Drive for UBER and I love the reaction I get from my black and brown customers. They love the music and want to know who it is. That makes me smile.
This olive customer would love it too!
To get that drum sound; Bonham was just messing around with a small drum kit outside the studio near a stairwell, which gave the drums a layered eco effect. The other members liked it so they recorded the drums there for the effect.
Jeff Frank wrong. it's a big kit. big sizes 26 inch bass drum. big toms. and hi tuning
it's not just the reverb
Bonzo played the drums in the stairwell of Headley Grange and the engineer picked up the booming sound with microphones above said stairwell, on the third floor. Very creative and the results were epic.
Big drums, recorded in a hallway right off of the big foyer at Headly Grange. What a sound.
The high ceiling that give them that reverb was replicated for decades afterwards, with people trying to record drums in elevator shafts, etc. Almost all the drums in the 80's had a huge echo because of this song and album.
Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots
Yes yes yes!
Cadinho Meireles another great metal blues song!
And the wizard!
The time changes in that! I'd rather hear 'Symptom of the universe,' because it's so brutal, but turns pretty at the end.
Symptom is a great track! I actually did a cover of it with Vinny Appice (Sabbath's second drummer) if you're interested you can hear it here czcams.com/video/XIPiEjPinsI/video.html #shamelessplug
Subscribed and hit the bell. You guys are Great! Keep up the good work. So entertaining to watch you get turned on the music I grew up listening, and playing to.
Love y’all’s reaction.
DAZED AND CONFUSED
React to Dazed and Confused and you will have a million views in record time. There are a lot of phony reaction videos out there, but you guys have the real reactions.
When the levies did break, during Katrina, this song was in my head during all the sad newscasts of that time.
Same. I can't hear this song without thinking about it
you two guys are fantastic... i love your enthusiasm
Love it. You guys are great
Since I've Been Loving You is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs, it's a brilliant blues piece and I think you guys would love it
Yes! They really need to listen to that one!
Rock owes everything to Jazz and the blues. I grew up on classic rock but as I got older I fell in love with the blues. Zep does several great sounding blues songs.
Gerhard Braatz by that logic all music owes everything to bongo drums
No it doesn't. Rock takes plenty from forms of music that aren't Jazz or Blues.
Gerhard Braatz I agree with you. My personal favorites by Zeppelin are any of their “blues influenced” songs
Where did Jazz and Blues players learn their instruments, chords, etc? Much is rightfully made of the influence of these genres on rock- and for some reason it stops there. Nothing has ever made of the influence of Irish and Scottish music, the Mountain music that came from that, the cords and techniques used with these instruments that far predate Jazz and Blues, it's almost like music is an art form where people hear something and then pick it up and repeat it
Blues, Jazz, and Spirituals began by cross cultural interpretations of the African sensibilities on European music and vice versa. Interpreting European music with African instruments like banjo, and interpreting African folk with European instruments. A truly American artform.

These guys are a trip! I am going to love to see their reaction. The harmonica in this song reminds me of freight trains. Growing up in the South freight trains are ubiquitous. I grew up in a nice upscale neighborhood in a small suburb outside of Memphis, TN. Our house was a mile from the rail-road tracks and only separated from it by a horse pasture. It sounded in our living room like the train was just outside, you would have to turn up the volume of the TV or stereo if you wanted to hear something other than the train.
I was born in '64 and had three older brothers. Those older brothers had a nice stereo and Led Zeppelin II and this album were what I would listen when I came home from school. Then I was introduced to ELP, Hendrix and many others. It was a great time to grow up for music.
mpactdesignmedia Yes!!! The glory days of album rock on FM and vinyl. Those were the best times. 😊📻🎶🎶🎶
...I do believe it's true" ~ Styx. ;-) BTW - how appropriate the CygnusX1 in MsCygnusX1 to reply - Rush is one of my faves, I've seen them in concert more than any other band, I've spent countless hours being "schooled" on guitar trying to learn Lerxt's chops - AND Cygnus X1, from the first time I heard it, became my favorite (among man great) Rush songs. I almost wet myself when they fired off the instrumental part of the song on their final tour. :-D
mpactdesignmedia Rush is my heart!!!😊💙 Seen them 12 times, landed my number 1 bucket list item during their final tour and finally saw them from the front row. Yes!! Finally hearing Cygnus X1 live left me awestruck. I was only ever able to master tracks like Rivendell and In The End. Good times, for sure. Rush and LZ will always amaze me. 🌌🌠
Led Zeppelin is all about the blues. It's their influence. They are the guys who basically made rock'n'roll while maintaining this bluesy sound and groove. Phenomenal Band, one of the best tracks for sure.
Erik Feldner made rock and roll? They stole so many songs and how can you say that with all the great black artists that were doing the same thing before, during, and after them. I love them but they were not the first for anything. It is a fact that they straight up stole songs.
Lol Jeremy music is emotions, which means not (always) rational!!! Zeppelin are my favorite band ever, but they obviously weren't the first in Rock N Roll
Ryan M77 Funkadelic may have been the greatest talent ever assembled in Rock history
Kick way to drive the point home lol
Same goes for Rolling Stones
You guys do a great job analyzing the songs
Damn you guys are so awesome! You completely make my day every time I watch one of your videos. Please keep it up!
Another great reaction video... I was gonna break out my Harmonica but then I didn't want some bad shit to happen so I just left it in the box.
lol!
Ken Vance never break your harmonica. It is a great instrument. It is used in all kinds of music. For great harmonica listen to John Popper.
His name is Mr. John Henry Bonham. Best not forget it my friend.
Tre Taylor 😊👏🏼♥️
Thank You 🙏🏻 Stacey

Hell Yeah!!
Love your reactions
This is what I love about music, a band can take a sound, a style, another song and remake it into their own style while still keeping the base feel of the original genre. This totally a blues song but in the Zeppelin style, so cool!😎
