- I have been SCOLDED for not analyzing Led Zeppelin at this point, and I can't say that I blame you all. This band is legendary, and has become the inspiration for so many other artists since their conception. So, today I dip my toes into those waters.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes Led Zeppelin for the first time, performing "Kashmir” live.

#LedZeppelin #Reaction #TheCharismaticVoice
-------------
As a percussionist, I cannot begin to describe what John Bonham did for modern drumming. There is a reason the band just stopped after his tragic death.
I often joke that Bonzo was my drum instructor. Started at 7 years old in the basement with nothing but my dad’s Zep albums.
IKR...I'm hearing Bonzo's famous bass drum triplets, not Plant's voice...
Bonzo Hammer of the Gods.
exactly.............there is no Led Zeppelin without bonzo :(
Bonzo was definitely the greatest. There wasn't anybody that could compare. I wept when I saw their performance at the O2 Arena. Bonzo would have been proud of Jason, as I was.
I was at this concert - Knebworth in England. Almost 4 hours of sheer magic. It's seared into my memory as the greatest musical experience in my 66 years on this earth.
Me too
So jealous. I was pretty oblivious to LZ at the time. Older me really wishes I had been there.
I can only imagine. I just turned 63 and Led Zep has been a musical anchor in my life. Never go to see them together as a band. Maybe in the next lifetime.
Me too!
So was I! 1979. Great time, fabulous music but my word, the toilets were truly dreadful and remain part of my memory!
There will never be another band like Zeppelin. Timeless. People will still be listening to Led Zep a hundred years from now.
❤
I agree.... they ARE the standard
I’ll be cranking zeppelin the day I die.
@@zarekmichalski4995😂
I always say, at my funeral only Led Zeppelin songs are allowed!
Now I also want a Zeppelin-shaved tombstone
My favorite I had all kinds of Zeppelin stuff as a teenager!
One of the great things about Robert Plant and Jimmy Page is Plant could make his voice sound like Page playing the guitar and Page could make his guitar sound like Plant singing
That is the perfect way to describe it
Couldn't agree more. Great call...
That's the magic that made everything come together and made them so unique. No other band has ever influenced me so much since hearing them early 70s.
agreed! such telepathy between the whole band and Page and Plant had such a great musical connection.
“SINCE IVE BEEN LOVING YOU” live from MSG 1973 should 100% be your next Zeppelin reaction. Its almost indescribable how amazing it is.
This would be my recommendation as well.
Ditto
Tbf anything from MSG would be incredible
Totally agree!
Yup, 100%
John Paul Jones is the most underrated musician in Rock history. Not only did he hold the band together, he played several instruments for the band as well.
John Paul Jones was never underrated .
As a basssist whose first influence was JPJ I whole heartedly agree!
He was also responsible for a lot of the musical arrangements for the band as well. He is an amazing multi-instrumentalist.
JPJ was indeed underated but I think mostly for his keyboards and even mandolin, but yes for bass also,fer sure
Absolutely. JPJ was Led Zeppelin's secret weapon
This music is over 50 years old. It brings me such joy to hear and see you react to LED Zeppelin. When I was in high school, hearing them, we had the same reaction. Critics panned them, but they couldn't stop the joy we felt listening to them on the radio and in our bedrooms on our record players. We had never heard anything like it and we fell in love with them. Led Zeppelin rocks on in our hearts.
I love watching Elizabeth switching from fan to professional mode so vividly. Her joy is so sincere and infectious, while her vocal insights are always spot on and amazing.
I just absolutely love watching Elizabeth discovering Rock music with all of us. Her facial expressions and uttermost joy are heartwarming and priceless.
I actually enjoy the appreciation she shows for these masterpieces that I grew up with
Oh absolutely! She's just ADORABLE! I am a huge fan of her both as a professional & as a human being! No one's able to keep their composure as well as she is & I HIGHLY DOUBT... ANYONE has criticized her simply bc they can hide behind the guise of anonymity from the internet. If SO, they should be ashamed of themselves & IF SO, Elizabeth, I'd personally be happy to give them a good a**-whooping for you bc I DO NOT hold as much class as do you in regards for people like THAT! 🙄
She is definately a beautiful soul, and the world is a better place with amazing personalities like hers. 🤝❤
She really is adorable when she geeks out on theory and technique.
Not only rock music, she analyzed many other music styles :)
"He's just so good at making noises." This reminded me of the classic rock station where I grew up had a game called "Animal or Plant" where they played a sound and the contestant would guess whether it was a wild animal or Robert Plant. They were right about 50/50.
Thats cool as fuck thanks for sharing. What a fun memory. 🤘😀🤘
That's hilariously brilliant!
If I ever put together a music quiz that has to be one of the categories. Brilliant idea!
Three words to describe Plant's bold singing style:
"Drugs... Drugs??? DRUGS!!"
(Insert Meme Here)
who ever came up with that idea was clever ,sounded like fun .
If everyone was as passionate at something and as nice as this woman the world would be a much better place. Keep putting out the great content.
You KNOW?! I absolutely adore her! She's so beautiful, on the outside but has this inner "charisma" too that's SO nice to see these days! It's a great way to share WHY we love this music so a person perfectly educated it can explain it to everyone else & to top it off, she's a delight! I am SO Lol still over her obsession with Ronnie James Dio's voice!! I KNEW she'd find a voice she loves in metal but was I expecting it to be Dio? NOT in a million years but I CAN definitely see why!
Can't argue with that. Never. 😊
She is young, gorgeous, and gregarious...as well as extremely knowledgeable..what. Is not to love about her???
I so enjoy her! She's a delight!
I agree, 100%.
I really enjoy watching this channel.
My favorite part of this riff: Jimmy Page is hitting an open string on an upstroke between those half steps that everyone notices. It’s the tiniest thing to hear but try nailing it cleanly every time through the riff. Everyone hits the half steps but try to consistently hit that open string upstroke in a song that is odd meter and purposefully doesn’t resolve the tension of the chord structure. I love how they use middle eastern melody as an inspiration. This song is the one Robert Plant looks back on as their crowning achievement. Odd meter, harmonic tension unresolved, sexual tension from his vocals, the drum breaks hidden in the changes of the sections and the end of the song, Jimmy hitting all those melodically scribbled glissando guitar lines and how locked in he is in to John Bonhams drums. John Paul Jones creating all that atmospheric tension on the keyboards. It’s their masterpiece, at least according to Robert Plant.
What would he know?
It’s kind of interesting to see the charismatic voice drawn to Robert Plant’s charismatic voice…she crushes on him in real time, yet simultaneously across 40 years. Truly remarkable.
Who wouldnt?!?!!!
A traveler of both time and space
I’ve been crushing on him for 45 years….and he’s still amazing at 76 yrs old!
The ultimate song of unresolved urgency. It never stops. It never reconciles. Forever and ever it just builds and builds and builds...
nicely said
It is a lot like the "Shepard Tone"
Kind of like how India and Pakistan never stop squabbling over the land of Kashmir itself!
the only song that takes me to another world
@@cjwright79 lmfao
The band was going through a very rough period. Robert Plant was dealing with the death of his son (which is what the song "All My Love" is about), Drummer John Bonham was drinking himself into the grave, and Guitarist Jimmy Page was dealing with a heroin addiction. It was up to bassist John Paul Jones to try and keep the band together. The band was burned out on the relentless schedule of a Rockstar. Back then it wasn't uncommon for bands to release several albums a year. Back then it was album, tour, album, tour, with no breaks in between. That's why a lot of those classic bands burnt themselves out after about 10 years.
Not to mention that these were the days before LED lighting, and stages were brutally hot. You can see the sweat pouring off of Page.
@@leehanson1416 LOL! Then why is no one else sweating? Think about it.
I remember and interview with Motley Crue from the mid 80's and they commented that their first 3 or 4 albums had come out so fast it started to feel like they were telling the fans, "Here's our new album." And the fans were saying, "We haven't finished listening to your last album yet." Of course, Crue also had their share of "issues" they were dealing with at that time.
But yeah, during this time period, bands were expected to put out an album (10-14 songs), tour for 9-10 months (more if the album was a huge hit}, get off the road and back in the studio to record a new album with at least 8 or 9 songs already written and ready to record. It truly is a wonder how many of these bands lasted as long as they did.
They sound like utter junkies.
@@leehanson1416 no doubt - I recall seeing the lacquer on the stage smoking from the Fresnels being switched on for about five seconds, four feet off the stage during a continuity check.
It's great that she's listening to a live version of Kashmir -- illustrating how Led Zeppelin could nail their sound with only three instruments and no overdubbing.
I only realized a few years ago that most of my favorite bands were three piece. From zepplin to nirvana to rush to tool etc etc. I like how the sound is so much more clean without that rhythm guitar in the middle messing up the sound.
Well technically not three instruments. I'll always consider Plant's voice the forth instrument in Zeppelin.
"He's so good at making noises" - what a great description of Robert Plant, I very much agree :D
“Bold,” “careless” and “attractive.” What a perfect summation of Robert Plant’s vocals.
I'm 72. Fell in love with my husband tripping to "I've Been Loving You". Still married after 50 years. Zep is sublime...
I could swear she blushed too…
Thats a interesting and strong love bond history
and im 60 lost vg to the song
Grats on a long-lived marriage. It's not easy, but damn, it's worth the effort.
That is so beautiful, thank you, I’m glad I read your comment
To quote "If everyone was as passionate at something and as nice as this woman, the world would be a much better place". I couldn't have put it better myself.
It's so refreshing to see someone truly and sincerely become giddy. I grew up with Zeppelin. Kashmir is one of my top favorites.
Plant is still making women swoon and giggle 45 years later... It's amazing to watch her melt as he sings.
If she didn’t I would wonder about her sanity.
This live version is pretty cool, but your really need to hear the studio version to hear just how insane in his voice really is.
or just a better live version....this is Robert at his lowest.
Studio version YES , all the live versions stink .
She picked the wrong version
I was at one of seven shows at LA Forum . 3 hours of Zeppelin and I will say it was sloppy but still cool. It’s rock and roll right? But yes wrong choice for this analysis.
This tour by the way.
There simply could never be another band as good as this.
I agree......sheer perfection
This is my very favorite Zeppelin tune of all time, and your reactions are just PRICELESS!! I absolutely LOVE it!!
The thing that really separates Led Zepplin isn't so much Plant's vocals or Page's lead guitar, but the way that John Paul Jones (bass) and John Bonham played off each other. It was pure musical genius.
Together they were great. Separate they're good.
It was a magical Gestalt.
I am so thankful I grew up in the 70’s
The fact that we’re listening to it still now is a testament to the art of it.
🤘
Yep, classic music and classic cars.
Me too, 64 now and since 1970s nothing has come close to replace my love of deep purple and led zeppelin. 💜
Watching a professional "get it", makes the memories sweeter
Me too
They were great. If you survived to the end! Not everyone made it of course! Different times for kids...
Physical Graffiti is one of their most under rated albums....double album....life changing!!!!!
Underrated? Lol... the only underrated LZ albums are maybe Presence and In Through the Out Door. Physical Graffiti is incredibly well known and well loved.
Lets take a moment to appreciate the drummer and his amazing fills!
There's someone at 61 years old seeing a professional vocal coach reacting to music that I have loved for over 30 years it is a beautiful thing
Isn’t it tho 👍🏼💯
Totaly agree.
I'm not 61, but was raised with this era of music too (mainly thanks to my dad). The thing that gets me is when the person has a lot of musical intelligence and hears it for the first time, they notice and enjoy the bits that are really unique. Quite often people will like music but not really have a clue what makes it work, or will just not notice. When someone does notice, it's really satisfying. It's even more fun when they notice something you hadn't.
I don't think she clocked the fact that the guitars and keys were playing on one time signature and the drums on another, phasing in and out. Some of those drum interrupts reset the time signatures. To be fair, someone had to explain it to me too, but....
45 years for me😊
Yep! It's pretty cool!❤, I'm 69, btw.
This is actually a pretty understated performance by Plant. It’s like he’s holding back. Bonham on the other hand is a beast.
Agreed
Plant said at the first knebworth show his voice was kind of Clamy due to nerves and if you listen to the second knebworth show which is kind of a poor show musically you will hear plants voice is much more full and sounds more throaty in a good way.. at the first show his voice sounds slightly strangulated on the higher parts and more throaty passages. Plants best live vocals for Kashmir were on the 77 tour but nothing beats his studio vocal on Kashmir
I’m curious when this was. I wonder if it’s towards the end of their run. He seems over it. They went hard for 10 years
bonzo used crazy time signatures that would leave plants guitar playing and then tie back with him several measures later. his triplets and ghost notes are insane. best rock drummer period.
I thought this took place at Live Aid, 1985. John Bonham would have been long gone.
I am a fairly trained musician, old now , was crazy on zeppelin as a guitarist in the 70s , thank you for the passion you dig in with , i am brought to tears every time !
This is one of the finest examples of a four piece (perhaps the most individually and collectively talented) absolutely smashing a live performance of one of their most iconic songs. Musically it is untouchable, the drumming of Bonzo is incredible.
you really have to hear the studio version, full of middle eastern strings beautifully and powerfully arranged. this is their best song certainly, every hard rock singer wants to be Robert Plant, deep down, every heavy metal act strives to reach this kind of power, most fail to come close of course. this is one of the most significant pieces of music of the 20th century.
Also for that really long note (well, series of notes) from 4:13 to 4:26...("Where I've beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen").
Plus the Turkish? Orchestra version....with Robert plant and Jimmy Page.
@@1pixman Moroccan, I think
@@JeffJefferyUK I clicked on this video hoping to here her reaction to exactly this.
@@hugegnarlyeyeball Well, let's hope she'll do another reaction video but to the studio version. I don't think it's likely though, sadly. 😞
The delight on your face as you encounter Led Zeppelin: PRICELESS
You know that Elizabeth has that face like 50% of the time when she hears new music right? It's not a Zeppelin thing. Just fyi.
She can't control her emotions, she's mentally ill.
I love that she loves music so much❤️, seeing her joy and also hearing her talk about the music is what keeps me coming back.
She is incredibly smart and yet down to earth. And I love her laugh...... sounds like a musical chipmunk!
I just really encountered them now, and I am 54. Of course I know LZ but was never introduced to their music. Only knew Kashmir of course. Currently working myself through all their albums, chronologically.. absolutely amazing
I so enjoy watching your reactions Elizabeth & yes, yes, yes Robert Plant is such a smokin’ hottie 😍😍😍
Led Zeppelin has been my go to band for as long as I can remember. Their music has helped me through good times and bad times. Kashmir is my favourite song. Thank you for breaking it down and pointing out things that are just beautiful that I have missed while listening in the past.
"He's just so good at making noises!" That's the whole damned thing and I SOOO appreciate that a professional with a lovely and versatile voice cosigns such imperfect experimentation! :-)
I've absolutely fallen for her facial reactions and her over all passion. Thank you for being you.
Absolutely agree..... that's the face of Joyful Discovery!!
I believe that Elizabeth's joyful expressions of shock and awe as she discovers new artisans' vocal instruments are more enjoyable than the artist's performance.
omg yes...this woman is (truly) so beautiful and sweet the way she expresses herself - I was afraid to say anything because I didn't want to detract from her excellent commentary
Damn Right.100 percent agree.
@@John-Andersen Sometimes...yes!
What a band. What a tune. Blows me away every time...
I’m not sure what I like better, listening to my favourite band or watching your facial expressions.
I’m addicted to your channel.. thanks 😂🎉
"Almost speechless" welcome to Led Zeppelin. Once you start, you just CAN NOT STOP!
You just witnessed the greatest band of all time at arguably their worst time, personally and artistically, yet this performance gives you chills at all times no matter how many times you listen to it. That says everything really!
Well it wasn't their worst performance. This was at Knebworth, yes?
hardly the greatest band ever but they were up there
@@christopherstarr8050 If you think of all the great songs they have made, they deserve to be mentioned with the beatles and rolling stones. They really were a super group. John Paul Jones was a great bass player, Bonham was a great drummer, Jimmy Paige was a great guitar player and Robert Plant was a great rock singer. They were able to make it work pretty well creatively. I am not the biggest led zeplin fan but they had a lot of magic.
Absolutely correct. Zep is the GOAT!
It's not that they were just the greatest band ever, but that they were so much better than whoever is number two.
Neither The Beatles or Stones could have lived with Zeppelin on stage. No chance.
"Kashmir" reminds me of 1975 at the Wildwood, New Jersey Beach and Boardwalk and nightclubs in that area - all good times with "Physical Graffiti" as the soundtrack - I was lucky to see them at Madison Square Garden earlier that year giving a master performance on the release of that great album - I thank you for a fresh listen of this Led Zeppelin Classic and by watching your reaction they still have that magic spell!❤
Your reactions bring me joy. Your insight gives me appreciation for music I’ve been enjoying for decades. Love your enthusiasm! 🥰
Robert Plant at his best, "Since I've Been Loving You", "In My Time Of Dying", "I Can"t Quit You Babe". He was a blues singer at heart. Thank you!
Oh yes, Since I've Been Loving You is probably Robert Plant at his best IMO
The ocean is the best one according to Jimmy Page
In My TIme Of Dying is one of my favorite songs of all time from any genre in any language. Just greatness.
My favorite Plant vocals are Since I've Been Loving You from the BBC Sessions.
czcams.com/video/u3CYOGFMe1o/video.html I Can't Quit You Babe here at RAH is a phenomenal version
I live about 7 miles away from Knebworth where this concert was held. I can remember being in my garden that night and you could hear them performing, they were so loud and it was quite a still night. I was 12 years old and it opened my eyes to Led Zeppelin and their power.
lol, I was there! It was my first live festival 🙂
That sounds amazing
What a memory...
So awesome!!!!
That’s a story you pass down to your grandchildren my man. Good lord that must’ve been a moment
I love your channel and find your energy, enthusiasm, and your wealth of musical knowledge very helpful and uplifting when the ole depression monster comes calling. After a few minutes listening to you explain things about songs I thought I knew everything about I find myself listening intently and picking up some of that emotion and energy you have in such abundance. Anyway thank you so much especially for helping me understand how my singing voice does what it does. Your killing it so 👍
Music has definitely saved me from dark times in my past. It transcends everything else in life, pulls you in and your troubles float away, at least for awhile.
Keep on fighting, my friend. ❤
Your reaction to many of the song’s musical elements is informed and spot on. Your visceral reaction mirrors the love that millions of people around the world have for this band. Your reaction is from your head and your heart.
Best. Band. Ever. One of the most emulated groups of all time. Perfect combo of blues roots and their own style
Timing is everything: Drums play 4/4 and the band plays 3/4; resolving every twelfth beat.
The song was influenced by Robert Plants listening to North African music.
Arguably the greatest of all their songs.
It's a ripper isn't it.
Interesting. I've probably listened to this song a few hundred times, never noticed it, guess I never tried to count it out. Now I hear it & wonder how I missed it.
Yeah... one of their greats but I listen to their other songs and they are all great.
I prefer Stairway to Heaven.
Arguably.
I absolutely love seeing your reactions to music that I grew up with. As I mentioned in another video, I turn 58 on Thursday, so this is the music of my childhood.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Led Zeppelin.
I can't express how much I love watching and listening to your analysis of music. You have such an open mind and heart and your emotional responses are so genuine . You always make my day.
yes finally some zeppelin! this performance is excellent, especially given the "fatigue"😀 the rock star life had caused to most of the band members by this time. i hope you dive into the early days of led zeppelin too, e.g. the royal albert hall gig from 1970, but i'll sure take any zeppelin song analysis coming from you :) and jimmy please do not block this!😅
Or the 1969 Danish TV appearance.
@@johnanderson7739 THIS!
Any zep is great, live zep even better and live zep from the early years is best. Jimmy hadn't begun his decline from heroin and plant hadn't damaged his voice.
@@wildwillie5408 The great exception to this is the O2 Celebration Day show.
@@johnanderson7739 i love zep like no other but IMO the O2 show doesn't hold a candle to the early years when they were all in their prime. age has taken its toll and it's not truly zep without john bonham. jason is a good drummer nobody can replace Bonzo.
Good God, those expressions of pure joy from Elizabeth when she hears something that completely fascinates her are the reason I come here. Probably the reason many of us come here. It can make a bad day become a great day.
THIS. I was just going to say something like this. She's hilarious to watch.
Seriously...that charisma is contagious. Shes powerful!
When I watch Elizabeth react to these classics it reminds me of when I first heard these songs. The excitement, the fascination, the emotion. I even find myself scoffing and thinking '... you haven't heard nothing , just wait till the second stanza of the third verse at the fourth ... " and she never disappoints. For me it's likened to hearing these songs again for the first time. Super special.
100%
I love your genuine excitement in finding this amazing track. And I agree with earlier comments about listening to the original version, and I would add that to really understand the eastern influence listen to the Page and Plant version on the album No Quarter, where they play with a Moroccan string band and an Egyptian Orchestra.
At this late stage in their career (1979), with Page & Bonham slightly hobbled by drug & alcohol demons, Zeppelin could still easily mesmerize audiences, but to fully appreciate all of their power, range & capability, you really needed to see them during their explosive prime (1969 thru 1972). A period in which they forever separated themselves from all other merely great rock bands.
The opening riff that was placed in an "action film" was Come With Me from the Godzilla (1998) soundtrack. Used by Puff Daddy with help from Jimmy Page.
Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up used in The Matrix (1999) also borrows heavily from this.
Page letting him use it was a disgrace.
Also sampled in "live and let die"
@@JM-mn4ph Paul McCartneys song is from 1973, Kashmir is from 1975.
pretty sure iron man uses it at some point
Robert Plant (now age 73) is still releasing incredible music... his album with Alison Krause won the Grammy for Best Album in 2007. His voice is still so beautifully crisp and clear!
I love that he keeps evolving.
Yep, just caught his tour with the ShapeShifters a few yrs ago
That album was amazing
Love that Robert has allowed the changes in his voice to dictate his style. He may have lost a few high notes but his voice is so rich in the lower mids now. And yes, somehowIn in his 70s, that voice still has a sexiness that most of us would kill for!
Seen his performance live at Burbon and Beyond 2019, he's still got it.
You're beautifully articulate and translate what you feel in the music into very lyrical imagery or words at times. And you're warm, personable and engaging. Great analysis and helped me see some depths I hadn't actualised in a band I've loved since early teens.
It builds anticipation due to the polyrythmic relationship between the guitar and drums having the effect of driving things forward
Please do “Since I’ve been loving you” by Led Zeppelin next. The guitar and vocals will blow you away.
Yeah that’s defiantly a hidden gem from Zep 3. One of Jimmy Page’s best guitar songs as well.
Try the badge holders only version from LA in 77...much better vocals and overall musicianship.
Again, use the studio version. The version on III is essentially a live track anyway.
Maybe she'll hear the bass drum pedal. :)
Led Zeppelin is a band that whenever you buy one of their albums you really need to listen to the whole album from beginning to end
any...
all of their albums
releases for the new kids
If I am not mistaken, this is a 7/8 guitar part over the top of a 4/4 drum part. Bonham is amazing to keep it all together through this.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for helping me revisit my favorite music with a new perspective
Your astonished reaction to the Zep is the same one that their true fans have had for 54 years now. They are the best band ever!
I would suggest some of Robert’s early vocals. He was really exceptional.
Yeah, Robert just wasn't quite as good by 1980. Of course, considering what he'd gone through...
@@SEKreiver Robert had surgery on his vocal chords in 1974. It’s why he sounds different by the mid 70s.
@@SEKreiver So true. I always liked his voice, but early on, man, it was so powerful!
Yes before his nodes operation
Yes ...before is nodes operation.
I get the same feeling anytime I hear a old song I connect to I am immediately reminded of where I was , what season it was and where I was living... It's quite phenomenal, just like watching your lessons... thank you for you..⭐🍻💯🎤⭐
Kashmir is my favourite Led Zepplin song. It is so EPIC! Thank you so much for covering this, Elizabeth!
Robert himself has said the rain song was his greatest vocal performance, so that would be a nice choice for another video.
The Rain Song is a very underrated Zeppelin song. Good choice
My favourite Zep song. Jimmy Page wrote it to answer a challenge from Paul McCartney that they'd never be able to write a ballad that sounded like they were playing it.
@@Dragonblaster1 I think it was Harrison, but definitely a Beatle ! Theres even a few notes from Something in there
Hard to pick just one as his greatest.
@@joebostick7474 Yeah, it was George.
"Since i've been loving you" live at Madison Square Gardens is one you have to check out, it's possibly the best representation of just how awesome they were live (not that this doesn't!). Personal favourite is a straight tie between "Battle of Evermore" or "Babe i'm gonna leave you". Loved this react!
Try the badge holders only version from LA in 77...much better vocals and overall musicianship.
The studio version is the one to hear, one of Robert’s best vocal performances and one of Jimmy’s best solos… masterpiece.
@@jons3808 If you haven't heard what I suggested then pry your ignorant mind open and listen before you judge. It's WAY better...all 4 of them are having the night of their lives. czcams.com/video/hodxGiu7RSI/video.html

All of my 5 cats are named with a Led Zeppelin theme, the most recent was a beach rescue with long hair and endless energy. We named him Bonzo!
I love how genuine is your reaction! ❤ loving your videos
Very late to this party, but “he’s just so good at making noises” is easily the best description of Robert Plant that I’ve ever heard. 😂
I was going to write exactly the same thing! Gr8 minds!
I’m glad you pointed out the moment where he emulated Elvis. Robert Plant is famously influenced by Elvis and it really shows in his stage presence and vocal performance.
So great to see you youngsters enjoying music from my youth. Robert, Jimmy, John and John Paul, were such great musicians of their time. So great to hear your analysis of their skills.
I spent 2 years in the Taklimakan Desert in China in the mid 80s and know what you are saying.
I missed this fantastic review , what an in depth analysis of one of my favourite bands. Ima 68 year old man who went on many journeys too with them. . Every part of this song from the vocals, lead , bass percussion and keyboards is exceptional. I would love to see a review of just the percussion in this piece because it’s beyond great
“Since I’ve been loving you “ Led Zeppelin from Madison Square Garden 1973 .Absolutely amazing performance from the whole band but Roberts vocals as always really shine
Lovely suggestion
Another thing about this riff is that the guitar part is in 3/4 while drums are in 4/4, so it syncopates once every three tabs, which is just another thing releasing tension. Brilliant writing
I'm not trying to be a troll here. The riff is exactly as you describe but the song is even more complex. e.g. 6:30. which surprised any first time listener. This is a challenging song/composition to get rhythmically accurate.
Agree! Can the guitar riff be counted as 6/8 tho? Works in my head that way.
@@curtshontz163 It' s a very sensible way of counting the guitar riff but given this is Jethro Tull it doesn't work throughout the song.
"The Ocean" is another great Zepplin Song. It's my favorite.
I absolutely LOVE watching her reaction to Plant's mastery of vocal riffing.
It is great you finally are discovering Led Zeppelin. This performance is in their last days and not the best representation unless you really already knew who these guys were. To get to the real Led Zeppelin experience is to start from their beginning and go through the journey at their best, early Zeppelin. Go to the live Royal Albert Hall Live concert and then to The Song Remains The Same Live performances. Think you will understand clearly why they are revered so highly as the Rock Gods they are known for.
Agree 100%.
Yeah not the best video to use. Hope she returns to Led Zeppelin soon.
Yes, with special attention to the albums Led Zeppelin 2, 3 and 4, when Robert Plant had his voice in the peak. And The Song Remains the Same, live, as you mentioned.
"Ten Years Gone" or "Since I've Been Loving You" are personal favorites of mine by Led Zeppelin
same, cheers
Absolutely
100% hands down agree. The raw power of "Loving You" is just Zep at their absolute bluesy best. And "Ten Tears Gone" is probably my all-time favorite Zep tune from my favorite all-time Zep record. Gets the hair on my arms raised every time in chills at its sheer beauty. But really, Physical Graffiti as an album showcases a band at their absolute peak of creativity and power.
Of course, then there's always "The Rain Song"...
😄
Watching the sheer joy and excitement you get from geeking out over music makes me so happy. I'm so glad there's someone else who gets it like I do. Thank you and keep on geeking and rocking out!
I was lucky enough to live walking distance from Knebworth and attended both weekends as a budding teenage guitar player - those were the days!
I love how, when she gets to a band we love, we start yelling "Yes! Yes! Now try X!! Try Y!"
I think it is because we live vicariously through her first experience with the song (and remember what it was like for us) while simultaneously marveling that she sees so much more than we do - allowing us to see it for the first time all over again.
Now try "When The Levee Breaks"....
“When The LEVEE Breaks”
@@lynnerose7891 My god I am so sorry. I edited it for you.
"I think it is because we live vicariously through her first experience with the song (and remember what it was like for us) while simultaneously marveling that she sees so much more than we do - allowing us to see it for the first time all over again."
Exactly this! I've loved this music for decades, thought I knew every nuance, but to see someone who is coming to it with fresh ears get so excited about it, and say why, is almost like hearing it again for the first time.
Now try Stairway To Heaven.
I wish I could like this comment a thousand times😁
In "since I've been loving you" he does a combination of blues, rock voice and metal that is absolutely stunning 🙌🏽
Don't forget to add that the Madison Square Garden live version deserves 11 out of 10 performance points.
My all time favorite Zeppelin song. Especially the live version from the movie, The Song Remains The Same. The shots of the audience add so much to the enjoyment of the song.
@@gregvergara7596 Yes amazing amazing performance! Check out the "rough mix" version of this song IMO one of the best moments in music 🙌🏽
Try the badge holders only version from LA in 77...much better vocals and overall musicianship.
I loved how you talked about the line, "...tongues of lilting grace..." That is my favorite line in Kashmir.
You are a fantastic person. You elevate my late nights in the studio. Painting to the music while hearing your comments works for me.
I love the groove of this song. Bonham playing that rock solid 4/4 time while the guitar is in 3/4 sounds soooo awesome :)
Yeah, I'm actually a little surprised she didn't mention the unique 3 v 4 meter subdivision in this song. Just one of the things that makes it a rock masterpiece.
“Since I’ve been loving you” the studio version of this Led Zeppelin song is a great blues masterpiece. If you could react to that song it would be awesome.
Do you prefer the studio version over the live version from MSG 1973? I feel like the live version captures perfect imperfections of the band as well as better capturing the emotion. I love both versions for different reasons!
Better live version!
Live version is awesome
yes one of my favorites and the guitar solo is awesome
studio version by far the best
Definitely sounds like John Bonham's cymbals are either phase shifted or flangered? Or at least the microphones miking them are. But I think his drums are as well? At least the snare has some sort of phase shifting of the microphone/s. Just sounds so cool. And it's especially noticeable in those stop-time breaks when Jimmy just seems to cut across the screen.
But it's interesting to note too how often Robert would get asked by reporters if Stairway to Heaven was the definitive defining Zep moment & he always said "Absolutely not. No. Kashmir is." So he always knew that about this song.
It is gorgeous watching you fall in primal love with Plant and Page. Me too. Every time. Ive seen them live... blew my mind.
Every rock drummer knows Bonzo is the G.O.A.T. But hearing a operatic vocalist appreciate his majesty and mastery…. Priceless!
They are the greatest. All of them are extreme professionals at their craft. Led Zeppelin will never be outdone.
Had to watch this again. “He’s just so good at making noises” is probably the best description of Robert Plant ever 😅
this song is amazing but this performance is even better! absolutely dynamic and free yet locked!
With my humblest respect to Freddie, Robert is the greatest voice in Rock. No one comes even close.
Dude, DIO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only difference I disagree is that Freddie never had a bad performance. Not one, not saying that plant had a terrible one, but Freddie had consistancy.
Add in Paul Rodgers to complete the triumvirate.
Bruce Dickinson?
@@happydude2163 dio is metal i think we can all agree on that.
If you want the "Eastern" flair dialed up to 11, check out the version from Page&Plant "No Quarter" (MTV unplugged) from the early 90s. It has a whole Egyptian orchestra
I was hoping she was going to do that version. I personally think it the definitive version
Yep, the original was great but the energy on Unledded is off the scale. There is a point where the band are really going for it and their is a close up of one of Cellists dancing in her seat, freaking out. That really summed up Unledded. Don't even get me started on Michael Lee...
And Gallows Pole, same show!
@@robbob5302 the mere mention of that version of Gallow's Pole gives me chills.
@@chancestockman 😜
You are excellent at describing things in detail!! Thank you for breaking down the singing. Thank you, I could listen to you all day. You make me see things I didn’t notice before.
Couldn't have picked a better first Zep tune. I was born in 1970 and remember already hearing Zep by late 70's from my dad's vinyl collection and having a record player. Their sound was larger than life. ❤
