From the powerful vocals of Robert Plant to the mesmerizing guitar riffs by Jimmy Page, this track took me on an unforgettable journey.

I was blown away by the complexity of the music, the intensity of the performance, and the overall vibe that only Led Zeppelin can deliver. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newbie like me, this video will give you a fresh perspective on why Led Zeppelin remains one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talkin', few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.

I spend most days dazed and confused. 🤪 Thanks Diane. You rock! Happy 4th everyone! Be safe and don’t blow yourself up. 🧨💥🇺🇸
Backatcha kids! Be safe
@@DianeJenningsled zeppelin rocks 😊
Easier not to since they got rid of M-80's and Cherry bombs :)
Uh, don't tell me what to do.
(real talk: be safe out there, you beautiful humans!)
@@DianeJennings The live version is 26 minutes long.....It's great, but you have to be willing to commit a 1/2 hour to one song.
These dudes ruled the airwaves and are still most rockers favorite rock band🤘❤️
Ruled the concert arenas too.
With Zeppelin, I believe it's best to listen to the studio version first, especially this song. I'd encourage you to watch the live version someday soon. That said, Led Zeppelin was and always will be my favorite band. Your reaction was fun to watch!
Agreed
Agreed.
With most bands the studio version should be listened to first.
Agreed. It makes watching/listening to the live performances better
It only gets even better when listening to the live versions. Zeppelin did this song much better live.
Listening to Zeppelin on headphones sounds like it's a supernatural event
In 2005, an American radio station asked who was the best guitarist, singer, bass player, and drummer. They took 3,500 responses. At the end, they built Led Zeppelin. Been a Zep fan since I first heard them (got to see them live) and I've never heard of this other person. There is a difference between being "inspired by" and "ripping off" and popular acts forever have to deal with "wanna bes".
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
The "middle thing" was kick ass psycedelic soundscape. Brilliant music! The many transitions are seamless.
I love Led Zeppellin music.
Diane, as someone who grew up in the 70s, listening to this music and seeing them live twice in the mid 70s, I must implore you to talk to one of your friends, obtain some hippy lettuce- partake a cpl-a hits- maybe a cpl-a glasses of wine/Guinness and revisit this song(album)- it will be a whole new awakening....Your friend in the great northwest(Seattle)- Wayne Maher 😊
Diane’s headphones are on, Led Zeppelin is back
Dazed and Confused is today’s music snack
She digs Plant’s bluesy vocals and Bonham’s drum attack
But in learning about the song, there’s a lot to unpack
Woohoo!
@@DianeJenningsJimmy making haunting sounds playing guitar with a violin bow
The other guy that used a bow, just sawed at it, Page gets some amassing notes out of it. When Page was a sessions musician, a violin player had asked if he ever tried using a bow. These 4 music geniuses were only together about 2 months when they recorded this album. Page who founded the band also paid to to have it made. He produced mixed & edited it, from start to finished product was over 4 days & a total of 35 hours. It was released on January 12,1969. Their first rehearsal together was on August 19,1968. This is a great debut album, especially for a new group & all being under 25.
Their first album 1968. They burst on the scene and changed everything.
This was a time WHEN GIANTS WALKED THE EARTH 🌎 LED ZEPPELIN ❤
The only part of Jake Holmes' song is the descending base line used at the start and after the solo . The lyrics are not Holmes'. The centre part and the finale are the work of Jimmy Page and developed during his Yardbirds years. The song was further refined to take advantage of the talent available in the LZ line-up.
Yep this is 90% original to Zeppelin, only rudimentary based on the Holmes song.
Best song ever recorded
Was just a wee lad when I heard this the first time. Was so dark and heavy that it spooked me a little. Like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I was immediately hooked.
I used to listen to this on a “Walkman” cassette player in high school during the early 80s. I found that Jimmy and Robert could capture and express my emotions musically. At the time I didn’t care for what was on the radio and this music was as old as I was! Glad to see you appreciate it Diane!!😍
Diggin it Ken!
thanks for reacting to it Diane!
can't tell you how many times I've listened to this - I can't count that high - and it hasn't gotten old yet ! I'm 64 and its older than me
Same...I'm 64 too!
71 here.
Jimmy Page played some of the guitar parts with a Violin bow on the song!
Yes he did
Zeppelin is a Blues band at its roots.
Hearing Zep in the 1970's led me to dig the Blues! Yep, An ENGLISH band introduced me to an American artform! ...And I'm American!
Song still gives me the chills fifty plus years on.
1969 I hear Led Zeppelin I over the phone from a school-mate's Dad's stereo. Went to buy it, the persons in front of and behind me both bought it as well! Instead of the usual Top Twenty LPs display, they just had only copies of LZ !. It made a big impact.
A lot of people say that Zeppelin were always only a “studio “ band that Jimmy never was talented enough to play live. Obviously they never witnessed the Madison Square Garden concert which was absolutely mystical and utter perfection…!!!
My favorite Led Zeppelin song
Led Zeppelin is in my opinion, 1 of the best British rock bands, EVER!!!! EVEN better than the Beatles and the Rolling stones!!!
Not just your opinion my friend, millions of us would agree with you and I would go so far as to say that they are THE greatest rock band ever, worldwide.
Duh. ✌️
I enjoy the Beatles more personally, but I can't honestly claim they were as good a band. I can't think of a single bad Led Zeppelin song.
The middle part with Plant oooing and ahhing also has Jimmy Page playing his guitar with a bow. This song was the first Zep song I heard and many of my aged friends as well. It was a music explosion that has lasted over 50 years.
Had to get a bow with my first electric guitar. Violin shops must have wondered why bow sales tripled all of a sudden!
I've heard this song countless times, and it never occurred to me that he was using a bow! Now it is so obvious. Mind, blown.
Watching Diane listening to music videos is like a trip in a time machine. Love it
RIP John Bonham. Some of his best work is here!
Led Zeppelin could play any kind music.
Best Band in the World!
This album changed the world of music forever. We had never heard anything like it. It brings me to recall one night in the 80s when some coworkers and myself were gathered at a local bar we frequented. A group of 4 or 5 young "hipsters" wearing slick leathers came in and started playing "Loverboy" on the jukebox. I countered by playing the entire Side A of this album. The bartender, who instinctively knew what I was up to, cranked up the volume. By the time "Dazed and Confused" was half over, the kids with half a pitcher of beer still on their table, got up and left. Not tonight, boys. Not tonight. "Give me Led till I'm dead!"✌
One of the greatest debut albums.
THE greatest
That and "Boston"s first LP.
Led Zeppelin is for the ADVANCED music listener. 💥💥💥🤘😎
wow this song was released nearly 60ty years ago. It was nice of you to open the vault of the music museum.
I can see 80 year old Jimmy Page and 75 year old Robert Plant at the old folks home in their rocking chairs rocking to this one. As always we best wishes to you and Chewie
Don’t worry they’re not there yet, Robert still touring and Jimmy is doing well
Actually 80 year-old Jimmy Page and 75 year-old Robert Plant are still performing and Plant is selling out large venues.
No old folks for any of these guys!
@@rafaelorantes7185and JPJ too!
That guitar solo is teetering on the edge of going off the rails, only to be pulled back together for that sweet singular instrument/guitar grungy sound. Then the drum drop, followed by a second drum drop (that is unexpected ). Every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps at that same spot. Then at 7:51 the way the guitar comes back in to end the song. EVERY time. This is my “go to war” song. If I ever need to defend myself for my life, this song will be the soundtrack to that event.
This band is incapable of any wrongdoing because they are perfect.
Your Zeppelin journey has been a joy to watch and has rekindled my appreciation of just how good and how influential these guys were. Mark the end of your journey by listening to their albums back to back in chronological order. As for the dispute, well, wouldn't be the first time (and won't be the last) an artist has been accused or even found guilty of ripping off someone's riff.
My Led Zeppelin.
Mine!!
In my humble opinion its a zeppelin song regardless of other claims.😊
Agreed....nobody else can match it ...period.
It sure is!
Just a quiet little masterpiece.
Communication Breakdown is my favorite sing on the album. The first time I heard it I became an instant fan!
Zep cant be pinned to one genre of music. They just covered some in just that song!!😊😊
Great reaction, Diane! I enjoy watching young people of today appreciate the music that I enjoyed when I was younger.
2:20 this is a new song to me, that intro really showed off Robert Plant’s pipes
I have heard Led Zeppelin Dazed and Confused and most of the Bands songs. Led Zeppelin has so many good songs when I think of 70s music Led Zeppelin comes to mind. Your Reaction and Dancing to the Music make the songs so much more Enjoyable. I always Learn something new with You too about the songs that I have heard. Happy Wednesday Thanks for sharing the music journey.
Led Zeppelin's music is like a time machine to the 70s! Glad my reactions and dance moves add some extra fun.
@@DianeJennings It really is since We did not get to live in the 70s though We got to see what the 70s was like. You make everything more enjoyable 🥰
@DianeJennings I was a teen in the 70s...best time of my life! I have loved Zeppelin since 1970!
There's a 42 minute version of this song floating around, but the 28 minute version from Madison Square Garden is really popular.
The singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did this album!
The middle bit is psychedelic rock
Simply stated…the GOATS OF GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fabulous band as always! My favorite since 1970! This 28 minute live at msg 1973 is MIND BLOWING!!
Never tire of your reacts to LZ!!! You make me smile. :)
One of my favorites!
Excellent group and song you know that already, great reaction do more LZ.
I've heard both the Yardbirds and the Led Zeppelin versions. Both great.
Dazed and Confused my fav track
Zeppelin broadened my horizons to appreciate the artists that inspired them.
Just Grand, Irish Girl! I was fortunate enough to see Led Zeppelin twice; '75 in Detroit and '77 in San Diego. They didn't happen to play this song at either show, but the ones I heard were almost all extended versions of the regular album tunes. Some stretched well past the 10 minute mark, total jam session on stage. Their music is certainly timeless and epic, no matter what the actual source. They've plenty of original stuff that has earned them the accolades.
Watching your reactions to all this great music, I often get the feeling that you're actually a reincarnated Rock 'n Roll Hippie Chick! (But with clean clothes and access to a shower!) It's obvious that it touches your soul in ways similar to mine back in the day. Looking forward to the next episode on this musical journey.
Hope you and Chewie are havin' a Wondǝrful Wǝᴉɍdnǝsday!
I do think theres a bit of hippy in me... but I do luv my power shower so maybe a demi hippy haha
Everyone loves Led Zeppelin
My wife hates Led Zeppelin ... very sad ... I married her anyway and still don't regret it.
@@watrandy99 She must have utterly superb qualities in other ways.
Yep!
Great, all time classic, Zeppelin was known for reinventing others music, getting proper credit was lacking at times but no dpubt, they made this theirs no matter how you cut it. Live it took on a life of its own, going from 10 minutes early on up to 45 minutes later in their career. Try it live at MSG 1973, it is the best live video of it you can see. Unreal jamming and Page is otherworldly! 🎸
Good song by Led Zeppelin.
You picked the right one to listen to. the live version is worth a look, too.
I just listened to the Jake Holmes version. It's clearly the same song. I think the only reason Holmes didn't win the copyright suit is that he waited too long to file it. The law gives the copyright holder 3 years to file a suit. Holmes filed the suit 42 years after Led Zeppelin released their first version of the song. And it's not like Holmes can say he didn't know about it. Led Zeppelin's version was quite popular, both on record and in live performances.
There's a long and interesting history of copyright suits in popular music. Some are valid, and some are bogus. One that's similar to the Dazed and Confused suit is for the Vietnam war protest song "I'm Feelin' Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" by Country Joe and the Fish. The melody was a near copy of an old jazz tune called "Muskrat Ramble," written by Edward "Kid" Ory in 1926 (or 1921, depending on which version of the story you believe). Ory never did anything about it. He died in 1973 at the age of 86. In 2001, Kid Ory's daughter Babette filed a copyright lawsuit against Country Joe McDonald (writer of "Feelin' Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag") on behalf of the Kid Ory estate. The courts found that Kid Ory and his estate had waited too long to file the suit. There was also the problem that Ory had never formally registered a copyright with the federal government.
Led Zeppelin is a great band, and their performances are epic. They do have the reputation of copying a lot of their music from other sources without attribution. This reputation is earned, IMO. I wish they'd been honest about it. They'd have made plenty of $$$ even if they'd shared their revenues with the original songwriters.
All violinists use rosin on their bows. It's not something that Page invented.
I've noticed that you really like blues. Some other blues-based music you could react to:
Up the Country by Canned Heat
Unchain My Heart by Ray Charles
Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers
Bo Diddley by Bo Diddley (yes, the song and performer have the same name)
Let's Work Together by Wilbert Harrison
Thanks!
While I second all of the suggestions, I am especially fond of "Up the Country" and "Ain't No Sunshine." Someone in the Community tab on Patreon used the phrase "down the country" several days ago and I was immediately reminded of Canned Heat.
Sounds great! Thanks a lot for these
@@davidwillford3119 I'm actually not familiar with the suggestions aside from the two you highlighted: "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Up the Country." I actually first became aware of "Up the Country" because I heard it in an ad.
They weren’t doing anything every other band was doing at the time
there is a video floating around out there (been a long time since i've seen it ) that shows how almost all of the early Beatles hits were note for note riffs of songs by American blues artist's. they did that because they loved the music so much. we used to say that the blues had to go to England so that it could come back to America
Lots of great rhythm and tempo changes in Led Zeppelin songs. They have been known to "borrow" a little bit here and there, but that was fairly common. Jimmy Page producer, founder, and lead guitarist of Led Zeppelin, created many iconic guitar riffs, which became the basis for many of their songs. Prior to LZ and the Yard Birds, he was the most sought studio guitarists in England. I wonder how many of his creations were "borrowed" by the same musicians that say he ripped them off. Great reaction, and next LZ song studio version of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You on the same album.
The Led Zeppelin songs You have reacted to are Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Kashmir, Immigrant song, and Dazed and Confused. Try listening to Zeppelins songs D'yer Maker, Over the Hills and Far Away, All My Love, Rock and Roll. All of these songs play a lot on the classic rock radio stations.
I would add The Rain Song, Tangerine, All Of My Love ✌️
And don't forget another cover, "When the Levee Breaks."
Like a city cup of coffee 🤣 that's awesome!
'Dazed and confused' was originally written and recorded in 1967 by Jake Holmes... In 1968, when Jimmy Page (guitar) was a member of The Yardbirds, they performed and recorded a variation of the song that was re-titled "I'm confused"... Page played his guitar w/ a violin bow that created those long, ominous notes on the track for the first time.
When The Yardbirds broke up in mid-1968, Jimmy Page assembled the 'new Yardbirds' by the Fall and they became Led Zeppelin... Unfortunately, they were short on songs for their debut album, so they recorded a few cover songs... Page re-arranged the original 'Dazed and confused' song and included it on the debut album by Led Zeppelin that was released in early 1969.
Jimmy Page also included a cover of Willie Dixon's 'You shook me' on Zeppelin's debut album... but his friend and former bandmate (in The Yardbirds) Jeff Beck (guitar) had also recorded a cover of 'You shook me' for his debut album 'Truth' in 1968... and it upset Beck at the time.
Hammer of the Gods
Regardles of whether they made versions of other people's songs or not, Led Zeppelin made these songs sellable. The songs were not even popular until Led Zeppelin remade them. There's a reason why Led Zeppelin is the Greatest band in history, and its because its the only band that has for masters as musicians. They need all four of them to perform together for you to experience greatness! Like they say, you dont listen to Zeppelin, you experience greatness.
11:17 oh yeah, we’ll spotted Diane! Spinal Tap is a movie that keeps on giving
Hello, and Happy Wednesday Diane. Led Zeppelin had a movie called The Song Remains the Same. You might like it, it was a concert from Madison Square Garden in 1973, and also features little mini movies of each band member playing different roles/characters.
Highly, highly recommend watching this.
I'm glad that the young generation is discovering the powers of rock artists like Zeppelin'. You decide to go to the studio version but you should go to live versions which are much stronger and better regardless of taking 10-15 minutes of your attention when performing a song. Led Zeppelin were the strongest and the best when performing live. That's why they are legendary., they were a Ferrari of rock music.
OMG it's scary how much you and my oldest Granddaughter are alike. She discovered old crazy Grandpa has all this stuff on vinyl. She is always in my hippie cave when they visit jamming out.
Jake Holmes played the song when he opened for the Yardbirds in New York in 1967, when Page was a member, though at first Page denied having heard it. He had a version of the song with the later Yardbirds where he used the bow on his guitar. That was suggested to him by the London Philharmonic 1st violinist, who was the father of actor David McCallum back when Page was a session musician. McCallum Sr. also lead the orchestra on the Beatles "Day In The Life".
When the Levee Breaks next! That is all lol😂
here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my life story!!!!!!
Well it really doesn’t matter about all that about who wrote the song. It was Zeppelin that finished it and recorded it. They have covered many songs. I am 70 and have seen Led Zeppelin live twice in my life. I have seen them do this song live twice. In my opinion they are the greatest group musicians of the rock era. Their concerts were fantastic. To this day I still listen to every Led Zeppelin song. It never gets old.
Loved your facial expressions to this song. I listened to the Holmes version. I wouldn't say Page stole the song but he was inspired by it so much so that Holmes should have been credited for it from the beginning. He is now. But it's an almost completely different song and Zeppelin's musicianship just blows Holmes version away.
This is off their first LP at the end of the 60s
The haunting sounding strings are played on a guitar with a cello bow
There wasn't sampling back in those days.P.s. Jimmy Page's previous band The Yardbirds had used Jake Holmes lyrics. After the broken up , Jimmy took it to Robert Plant who changed the lyrics.
That movie is epic!
Dazed And Confused is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. The Dazed And Confused movie might have had inspiration from the song, but the movie just shows teenage life partying in the 70s. A little more drug related than That 70s Show. By the way, Matthew McConaughey had his acting debut in Dazed And Confused. "Alright, alright, Alriiiight!"
Happy Wednesday to you Diane. Led Zeppelin is such an iconic group and I am glad you had chose to listen and react to their music. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions. Looks like you had enjoyed it. I always enjoy your reactions. Have a great rest of your week and say hello to your newest member of your Patreon which I joined as of this past Monday. Be well! 👋😎💚🍀🇨🇮
I saw! Welcome aboard. Be sure to say hi in the community section to the gang
@@DianeJennings Yes, indeed! Happy Fourth of July to you Diane and everyone else! Let freedom ring! 👋😎🎉🎊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
great group, love them
Woop!
Now that Diane has listen to this version. Id recommend she watch the 1975 version from Earl's Court in London... well, actually the Entire concert
Welcome back to the big boy music.
yeah...quite a few genres in this one as you say! Psychedelic Hard Rock Blues is what I call it😁
Robert Plants Voice is so good the Studio Albums even sound like He's singing live. The musical instruments sound live too. The Live concert performance from the 70s are awesome. Fleetwood Mac and Aerosmith from the 70s are some more good bands that sound good on album and live also.
They often played live together in the studio
Had a 20-something getting into Led Zeppelin, asked me (an old fart) what else there was like them. I said NOTHING, it's why we still listen to them more than 50 years later.
Brilliant song and I enjoyed watching your reactions and I think you really got into it! 😊
Diane. Yes they took some lyrics and a bit of the descending bass pattern but go listen to Jake Holmes version and compare it to zeppelin and you will see that yes they should’ve credited him but in no way was Jake Holmes version like Led Zeppelin did with their version. Reworking it is mild. They took it to a level that Jake Holmes could never have imagined and added riffs and other segments that were never in the Jake Holmes version!
Interesting!
Bienvenida a la mejor música.de todos los tiempos
Thanks for reaction! Adore these gents. The Mighty Zep, then everyone else. 😊
Thank you too!
0:28 their vibe is quite dig-able
They are a great band.
Listen to the whole album Diane. It is just the beginning of their work. Strongly suggest taking in the whole albums from 1 to Physical Graffiti chronologically. By the time you get to the latter you will understand why they are considered the greatest rock band ever by millions of people.
They were heavily influenced by American Blues artists and are therefore sometimes called out for "ripping people off". If you listen to the original recordings of songs they are accused of "ripping off", you will quickly realize that they were an inspiration, not theft. Success breeds jealousy and greed by less successful people and their offspring.
Please go down this rabbit hole and share with us.
This was the 2nd Led Zeppelin song I heard.
The first was Over The Hills and Far Away.
You may seriously enjoy the all female Zeppelin Tribute Band Zepparella doing this song in a video they did a few years back . Excellent !
Zepplin was a great band no doubt about it
Grew up listening ti them 5 and older.?
Tom Petty said he didn't like doing videos because people then would remember or focus on the video vs the actual song/music. This was after he did the video for the Heartbreaker's "Don’t Come Around Here No More.."
That cake scene had to be refilmed
