I couldn't agree more. I've now got to the point where I only listen to Zep. I've had 'phases' with other bands over the years, but I know that they're light years behind Zep.
It's almost like the 70's when radio stations would play complete albums late at night. They'd even tell you, "get your tapes ready"... You guys are great... so glad you are enjoying the music...
Right on brother! The good old days when the DJs can play what they want instead of some program manager giving them a list of mediocre commercial s*** to play
@Edward Capobianco exactly in the early 70s played DJ at a college Station and they encouraged bootlegs and whatever we wanted so you would hear eventually ALL the album and not just the best of top 40 garbage radio
Che’s 100% on point: “Led Zeppelin I” was truly Jimmy Page’s baby: he knew exactly what he wanted it to be before he & Peter Grant even booked the sessions at Olympic. Had it all mapped out in his head-he just needed to find like-minded musicians and the Zeppelin lifted right off…
Led Zeppelin was my first band I ever got into and you guys are so right. First time my mom heard me listening too Zep she freaked out . Said it was the devils music lol. Also kudos you guys are the first reacters too understand the greatness that is John Bohnam . Most people don't understand the technical difficulty of what he does on the drums . R.I.P John Bohnam!
I stfg I was in love with a coworker I've known for over 2 and a half years, we showed music to eachother all the time bc we both love rlly heavy stuff metal wise and we were really close too, I asked him about Bonham bc hes a drummer and he used to be in a band and after he said "yeah I dont rlly care for Led Zeppelin but John Bonham is alright" and I was like what.. and I havent barely talked to him since bc Zep is my favorite band
One of the major British Invasion groups that resurrected CLASSIC BLACK BLUES FROM THE 1920s-1950s U.S. They brought the ELECTRIFIED BLUES TO AMERICA for generations of music lovers.
@@artbagley1406 EXACTLY! ✌🏼 America was so racist back then that radio didn't promote Black music. It took the Brits to bring it back across the pond and as White boys+ being from England, they made it 'cool' enough to promote on radio. Brought ATTENTION to OUR own roots.
I'm almost 23 and they're my favorite band. Classic rock doesnt get as much recognition as it should among my generation in my opinion, it's what brought along all the other rock bands people love now a days. Led Zeppelin started a whole new thing I think and their music is just unbeatable and incomparable. I grew up listening to all kinds of music, mostly heavy bands like metal and "screamo" bands in general that go sO HARD but nothing beats the greatness of Led Zeppelin due to the fact they were way before anything else and the genius of their music cannot be replicated in my opinion. They are something so amazing, so magical and enchanting, something that is absolutely addicting and just oozes pure talent and greatness. I would give anything to be my age in the 70s, that was a time to be alive.
This is a cover. It was written by the great Willie Dixon. Led Zeppelin did a lot of blues early on and throughout their career. The great "Whole Lotta Love" is a Dixon song too. Of course, Zep added their own style to these songs and their incredible musicianship and power. Classics.
That concert , man! We’re Gonna Groove, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love, What is and What Should Never Be, White Summer/ Black Mountainside, ICQYB …all elite performances. Jimmy even makes a Cardigan badass
Zeppelin has been criticized by some for copying the blues... It's not fair. Of course they covered songs and were heavily influenced -- but when you listen to them, it's all love, all respect. Their music is a tribute to the blues. These guys grew up listening to every blues record they could get their hands on, and to be fair, they didn't just make a cheap carbon copy -- they took the blues, and then did it as well or better than anyone, and then took it to their own level.
Yes it is all love and respect for the Blues and Folk music, the problem is they never gave credit to the original creators such as Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, etc. When this was starting to surface I heard in an interview Robert Plant admitted at the time they thought they could get away with it.
the criticism isn't for copying, It's for not CREDITING... and I blame Page, because to this day the guy never admitted the people they took from, NEVER. Even stupid things like the violin bow. Screw freaking Jimmy Page
I HEAR YOU ON THE COPYING OF THE BLUES TRUTH BE SAID IF IT WASN'T FOR BLUES THERE WOULD BE NO ROCK IN ROLL MUSIC ID A UNIVERSAL ENTITY LOVE AND STORY TELLING
Real music lovers don’t about all that. We need to appreciate what each great musician gives. If we worry about “credit” people will still get made that they forget to say their favorite blues music or singer or musician.
I was 22 and a senior in college when Led Zeppelin released their first album. My friends and I had been listening to the heaviest music available at that time - Hendrix, Cream, the Yardbirds, The Who, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Stones, etc. I heard Dazed and Confused on FM radio late one night and was totally blown away by it. I bought the album the next day and we listened to it over and over and over and couldn't get enough of it. We had never heard anything like it. LZ took rock/blues to another level that's never been equaled.
Listening to Zeppelin over and over. I was a teen in the mid 70s and bought all of Zeppelin's albums to that time. Everyday I was listening to LZ whether it be a song, one side or the full album I had them on everyday. there was no one like them and their music before, during and since. I still listen to Zeppelin - only alot of it on TH-cam because I can see their performances too.
You should check out Zeppelin at MSG. The concert is epic on all levels but you’ll witness Robert Plant in all his glory. He is the swag master, the ultimate front man. He slayed the women, got more bumper than a body shop, for sure!!!!!! You’ll notice the shirt he is wearing, looks like a woman’s blouse. Legend has it he would wear the previous nights conquest on stage. IDK if it’s true, but it makes for an interesting story 😉
Bonzo The Beast! "I Can't Quit You Baby" was written by Chicago Blues great Willie Dixon and was first recorded by Otis Rush in 1956. Led Zeppelin turned up the volume on the song past eleven and dropped it as the second to last track on their debut album, right before "How Many More Times" -- another souped up blues rock banger.
There never was, nor will there ever be another Led Zeppelin!!🎶🎸🎵 Masters of their craft...all 4 of them!!🎶 Robert Plants voice can never be replicated!!🎶 If y'all want to see Bonham really get it, watch Moby Dick at one of their live performances!!🥁🎶
Gentlemen, I grew up in Cleveland during this era. So many great bands during that time. That being said, you two are the most insightful, intelligent reactors I have come across. You're reactions are truly enjoyable. But most importantly you guys GET IT. You actually get the music. Love it. Keep it up.
Talking about their songs pertaining to women and how you're reacting to the albums in order reminded me of Jack Black's introduction of Zeppelin at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors 🤙
I was 18 and living in my own house in Southern California with my husband and twin babies... Love this music!! I was not surprised to find out later that this song was from an old blues man in the deep south, USA. They were forced to give him credit on later printings of the album cover. There may also have been some money involved... 🤔🤑🤑🤑💖💋💖💋 Old southern blues men wrote some great stuff. Zep just took it to the next level! My parents never told us not to listen to any kind of music, ever. Cool parents! 😁😁😁💖💋💖💋🍿🍿🍿
Jimmy Page was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame TWICE! First w the Yardbirds then w Zeppelin. I've seen some videos that say Bonzo tried to keep up w Jimmy. Been a Zeppelin fan my whole life, I'm now 54, burnt out albums and cassettes, I've watched many videos and it's obvious. The entire band fed off of each other. Greatness.
They put a pasty white face on the blues which opened the door to millions of middle class white kids. Elvis did the same. It’s unfortunate that it took this, but they get all the credit in the world for doing it.
Look up what originally influenced the blues - i think you’ll find it was centuries of ‘pasty white face’ music. 😉…. Seriously though, WHY make it about skin color 😩🤦♂️
Jimi Hendrix one said to John Bonham. “ you’re the one with the jackrabbit in your foot” …. Buckle up last song on this album How Many More Times… is a juggernaut….. enjoying….. thx again….
I read once that if you picked an all star line up for a rock super group, you’d end up with Vocals- Robert Plant Guitar- Jimi Page Drums- Bonham Bass-JPJ AKA- Led Zeppelin
When I was 13 yrs old I heard this album playing in my older brother’s room through the wall. I would sneak in and listen when he was out. I “borrowed” it from him and still have it. He took me along to see them live when I was 15. Been enjoying your LZ reactions and your Dan reactions. ✌️♥️🎶
This song was originally done by Otis Rush in 1956. It was written by Willie Dixon. Much like The Rolling Stones in the early 196o's, Led Zeppelin took the blues and "Rocked it Up"
Nice reaction, thanks. I highly recommend that you watch their 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance of this song if/when you have the time. Absolute 🔥. Actually, the entire concert was incredible. Edit: This song was originally written by Willie Dixon. He recorded and released it in 1956.
After each album you should check out some live performances from that album. In almost every instance the live version will be somewhat different and on a whole other level! Led Zeppelin was first and foremost a live band. Their improvisational skills are absolutely unbelievable. Jimmy Page's live solos are mind blowing!
Greatest BaND of ALL TIME.............Vocals........Robert Plant/Jim Morrison Guitar..........Jimi Hendrix/ Jimmy Page Bass........Geddy Lee/John Paul Jones Drums........John Bonham
It is a willie Dixon track originally and is credited as such. I think you should do a quick diversion and look at the live performance of this at The Royal Albert Hall 1970 .they perform the heck out of it, and hold the audience in the palm of their hands. I don't want to be bossy but you should not miss out on this!!!!
Yes❣️ that was Jimmy's birthday. Jan. 9. I actually saw them the following April. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything??? 🤯 😞🤔 This concert would have been the show I apparently saw. So thanks to TH-cam, I'm finally able to relive? it. Thank you youtube❣️❣️❣️
The blues came from south USA, New Orleans. Many artist from UK highly respected the Blues. Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn a few rockers that love the Blues.
They're very influenced by the blues down in the delta Mississippi all those bands back then that's where they get this kind of stuff from and they like to mix it up they could do one song and sound like just three songs in one they switch so quick it's phenomenal the first time I saw them was 1970 Fillmore East New York
I got turned on to the blues from my older brothers listening to the British Invasion bands playing the blues. I was 13. Then I learned I was living 120 miles South of blues Mecca in Chicago. I've been a blues fan every since. These bands brought the blues back and really helped the American blues music scene. American blues performers might fill a club in Chicago but in Europe they could fill stadiums.
I heard a story that Bonham had to bring his own drum kit to play at gigs because he had a reputation for busting the house kits he played so hard. ❤ Bonham the best drummer ever.
This is a reworking of the song written by Willie Dixon for Otis Rush, who had been having some relationship problems. Believe it or not, not all of Zep's songs are about women. They were, however, following the usual blues theme of the "good man" being led to his doom by an "evil woman", especially on this first album until they got a little more experience and started changing things around. Another great blues song with an in-your-face them of good man/bad woman is the song Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers Band.
Another great tune by the late, great Willie Dixon. An amazing fact is that they only used about 36 hours of studio time to record this first album over a few weeks time while jamming a few gigs to smooth out the material.
11:00 - Yeah man, it was real Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. Some of their stories w/ groupies are legendary. JPJ once after a gig, fell asleep w/ a groupie and a half smoked, lit joint and started a fire in their the hotel room, lucky they woke up early on and no one got hurt.
I enjoyed your reaction video to Led Zeppelin. In your video you asked about the English and how popular American blues was with them. I thought I'd give you a little history. In1964 sister Rosetta Thorpe and a number of other gospel and blues performers did a tour of England. The British tour with the American Folk, Blues, and Gospel Caravan organized by U.S. promoter George Wein. The lineup includes Muddy Waters, Chess pianist Otis Spann, and the duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Blues and Gospel Train, a specially produced show based on the caravan, appears on British TV. That same year, Rosetta appears at the Newport Jazz Festival, on a program that reunites her with Count Basie. This sound was completely new to the British rock and roll fans and Ignited a revival among many of the rock 'n' roll musicians and fans. Check out Sister Rosetta Thorpe English concerts on TH-cam for an example.
All of those British bands *LOVED BLACK MUSIC!* They marinated on our rock & roll, blues, jazz, country, and gospel, made it their own and created something new! But as a black guy who is 62 and grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s the odd thing was black folks (supposedly) didn’t like rock ore weren’t *supposed* to like rock and considered it ‘headache music’ lol! But I was like, I don’t care what y’all say, this stuff is *FIRE!!* It wasn’t until later that I learned that they got their inspiration from *US* and that made it all the more sweeter. So it is really ‘full circle’ :) … btw way, i like how you said ‘learnt’ which is British lol!

Summer of ‘69: Led Zeppelin takes the world by storm. The moon landing was a close second.
One small step for jam
And one giant leap for jam kind.
@@PeterTea 😂🤣
🤪
Legiiiit
Moon landing? What Moon landing? 😂 Ohhhh you mean that Kubrick fake propoganda film 😉
The older you get, the more visceral, and absolutely legendary Led Zeppelin, becomes.
I couldn't agree more. I've now got to the point where I only listen to Zep. I've had 'phases' with other bands over the years, but I know that they're light years behind Zep.
Amen!
“The blues done had a baby and they called it rock and roll” - Muddy Waters
Yup!!
Down and dirty Zeppelin blues!
"The greatest band of all time!" Yep!
They were together 3 weeks as a group when they recorded this…in 36 hours studio time…unheard of these days!!
Unbelievable! It's all I can say while watching these live performances.
59 yr old here. You guys are doing this the proper way...one album at a time.
They loved those Delta Blues.
Plant and Bonham were 19 when they were formed.
So nuts
It's almost like the 70's when radio stations would play complete albums late at night. They'd even tell you, "get your tapes ready"... You guys are great... so glad you are enjoying the music...
On FM!
Right on brother! The good old days when the DJs can play what they want instead of some program manager giving them a list of mediocre commercial s*** to play
These guys are The Honor roll students from the school of blues, they passed all their classes with flying colors!
Yup before top 40 stopped playing long songs and just played the same thing and wouldn't play the good cuts except for the underground stations
@Edward Capobianco exactly in the early 70s played DJ at a college Station and they encouraged bootlegs and whatever we wanted so you would hear eventually ALL the album and not just the best of top 40 garbage radio

I saw them in ‘75. Great, 3 hour show.
Heard Led Zeps first album in the 70,s and I was blown away. 40 years later it's mindblowing nothing around today comes close
The taste, the touch, the power and glory that is Zeppelin. Yes, the best band of all time. Goated.

The baddest band ive loved for 50 yrs never gets old
50 years since hearing this for the first time and it still sounds incredible!
Led Zeppelin the most badass hard rocking blues band ever
People have to remember Zeppelin 1 and 2 both came out in 69. No other band changed the game like this other than the Beatles
Even tho the Beatles were a big hit, they weren't even in the same universe as Zeppelin
I would throw in Sabbath but you're correct
I'm glad you're starting with the first album, you got to do them in order..
To be so adept individually, and compliment each other so well!, pure magic ✨

This song was written by the great Willie Dixon. It's one of the many old blues tunes that Robert and Jimmy rearranged and reworked.

Zeppelin set up a funding for all old blues musicians
Been listening to these albums since i was a kid. My Dad had them all on vinyl. Nothing like Led Zepplin on Earth
I was 22 and a senior in college when Led Zeppelin released their first album.

He sure did.
They created their own blues... 💃

They put a pasty white face on the blues which opened the door to millions of middle class white kids. Elvis did the same.

Nobody’s done the blues quite like this since or before

An album of music in every track.
Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd The doors Moody blues they were my childhood lullabies
It was written by Willie Dixon back in the 50's. I saw LZ three times over the years, fantastic band.
I read once that if you picked an all star line up for a rock super group, you’d end up with
Vocals- Robert Plant
Guitar- Jimi Page
Drums- Bonham
Bass-JPJ
AKA- Led Zeppelin
Listened to Led Zeppelin a-lot growing up and enjoyed growing up listening to it ! Any song doesn’t matter thre as good!!
Come back around to this everytime.... Just elite feel and soul
Love these reviews! I was in middle school in the early 70's and would lie on my bed with headphones on just getting lost in their music!
When I was 13 yrs old I heard this album playing in my older brother’s room through the wall. I would sneak in and listen when he was out. I “borrowed” it from him and still have it. He took me along to see them live when I was 15. Been enjoying your LZ reactions and your Dan reactions. ✌️♥️🎶
I use to do the same thing with my brothers albums. He never got them back. 😂😂😂 thank you so much for watching!!
I was 10...my babysitter brought it over!! I was in love!
What a good big brother! God bless you both
Mr. Bonham..is a A10..main gun on those bass kicks. So tasty..perfection!
love Bonham's foot (BD) triplets that play off the upbeats rather than the usual downbeats

Led Zeppelin and Clapton got me into the blues.
WILLE DIXON, and LZep actually did give him credit from the start .
Great reaction to an amazing blues track. Pack your bags gentlemen. You’re about to go on a journey with the last track “How Many More Times”

Otis Rush, I think. Check it th-cam.com/video/Uy2tEP3I3DM/w-d-xo.html
These last two songs on the album are my favorites. The whole album is phenomenal, but these two songs stick out to me.
Love you guys!! I enjoy watching your joy!
You should have keep it going it feeds into How Many More Times. beautifully
Look at you guys respecting the knowledge educate elevate my people's
The blues came from south USA, New Orleans. Many artist from UK highly respected the Blues. Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn a few rockers that love the Blues.
that kick is a SINGLE kick! hes doing all that with his right foot!
Willie Dixon has pinned so many hits in Blues and Rock. Sadly, He doesn’t get enough credit.
Led Zeppelin when the Level breaks & traveling riverside blues. Are my two favorite by Zeppelin
This song is one of the sexiest songs in history. The whole vibe is sensual and sultry .. STILL FIFTY YEARS LATER!!! How is this possible ?!!
It is the Blues guys!!!! Sad stories, conflict, struggles.
My new favorite ch. you guys know ya stuff man. You got the ears for this 👊
Thank you!!

I heard a story that Bonham had to bring his own drum kit to play at gigs because he had a reputation for busting the house kits he played so hard. ❤ Bonham the best drummer ever.
This is a reworking of the song written by Willie Dixon for Otis Rush, who had been having some relationship problems. Believe it or not, not all of Zep's songs are about women. They were, however, following the usual blues theme of the "good man" being led to his doom by an "evil woman", especially on this first album until they got a little more experience and started changing things around. Another great blues song with an in-your-face them of good man/bad woman is the song Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers Band.
I love whipping post!!
Hey! Easy you two. It's a dessert topping AND a floor wax
Listening to Zepp since 1980. What a great way to pass the years. Can never get enuff. Glad your enjoying My Brothers!
The greatest band to grace the planet! This live in 1970 or 1971...can't remember....is an absolute must see!!
Love to see & hear you play the drums, you know so much, thanks guys you always get it
Saw them live in Seattle in 1975. Good times.
Led Zeppelin was a lot about the women and the women were all about Led Zeppelin
Another great tune by the late, great Willie Dixon. An amazing fact is that they only used about 36 hours of studio time to record this first album over a few weeks time while jamming a few gigs to smooth out the material.
11:00 - Yeah man, it was real Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. Some of their stories w/ groupies are legendary. JPJ once after a gig, fell asleep w/ a groupie and a half smoked, lit joint and started a fire in their the hotel room, lucky they woke up early on and no one got hurt.
I enjoyed your reaction video to Led Zeppelin. In your video you asked about the English and how popular American blues was with them. I thought I'd give you a little history. In1964 sister Rosetta Thorpe and a number of other gospel and blues performers did a tour of England. The British tour with the American Folk, Blues, and Gospel Caravan organized by U.S. promoter George Wein. The lineup includes Muddy Waters, Chess pianist Otis Spann, and the duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Blues and Gospel Train, a specially produced show based on the caravan, appears on British TV. That same year, Rosetta appears at the Newport Jazz Festival, on a program that reunites her with Count Basie. This sound was completely new to the British rock and roll fans and Ignited a revival among many of the rock 'n' roll musicians and fans. Check out Sister Rosetta Thorpe English concerts on TH-cam for an example.
You think Bonzo's drumming is crazy here, wait until you hear "In My Time of Dying." Many of their lyrics are taken from old blues classics btw.
Great reaction!!! Marshall Tucker cant you see has to be on your bucket list.
All of those British bands *LOVED BLACK MUSIC!* They marinated on our rock & roll, blues, jazz, country, and gospel, made it their own and created something new! But as a black guy who is 62 and grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s the odd thing was black folks (supposedly) didn’t like rock ore weren’t *supposed* to like rock and considered it ‘headache music’ lol! But I was like, I don’t care what y’all say, this stuff is *FIRE!!*
It wasn’t until later that I learned that they got their inspiration from *US* and that made it all the more sweeter. So it is really ‘full circle’ :) … btw way, i like how you said ‘learnt’ which is British lol!
Raw-simplicity at a high level!
It was Zeppelin with the chronic throughout the '70s. Wish I'd never left.
This album is incredibly arranged - it’s like a film.
