It's about the great flood in Mississippi in 1927. A levee is an earthen dam to keep the river within It's banks. If it breaks you get wide spread flooding and you have to move.
Great song! Too bad your audio doesn’t sound good. Not sure if you’re playing something underneath it or it’s the reverb in the room but it’s very distracting.
Yep, something is going on with your sound. Can't tell if it's something else playing or like a delayed echo. Hopefully you'll listen and figure it out. Peace ✌
In this song I believe the harmonica is to sound more like warning siren, that the dam is about to break. There is another song by LZ, where the harmonica sounds like a train, right off hand can’t think of the name.
Guys maybe you should watch the movie "School of Rock" followed by Jack Black officially requests permission from Led Zeppelin to use Immigrant Song for the movie 😉 Then you can watch Led Zeppelin - Since I've been Loving You, Live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 😉
The sound quality of your recording is awful. You can hear it right from the first bar, where the drum beats sound too hollow. Listen to the correct version.
As other persons said, you should listen to more live versions, and, try to use some headphones (it's old albums, but the sounds, were, really, better that today, and, you will appreciate more all the details, of the sound production, with some headphones).... BUT, I, ALREADY, LOVE YOU, BECAUSE, FOR ME AS A WHITE FRENCH GUITARIST, LIKE YOU SAID, JIMI HENDRIX, IS THE BEST ONE!😂👍Peace from France guys✌️
![NEVER DEALT WITH THIS BEFORE | FIRST TIME HEARING Led Zeppelin "When The Levee Breaks" [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ayMKJIq7PeI/mqdefault.jpg)
This song must be heard on either GOOD headphones or on a high level audiophile stereo system. And loud. Hard blues rock at its very best!
Greatest band to grace the planet! Every song is magnificent! Robert on that harmonica!
A fine example of Blues Done very hard and very well. Great example of Zeppelin
Robert Plant on vocals and harmonica.

Best ever, they could master any style. The rabbit hole is deep, believe us.

Yes my thoughts too, not to mention, the opening drumming sounded so screwed up.
It IS a harmonica you were hearing.. just amped up to 11

crying won’t help you praying will do you no good!
Fix the audio problem then we can listen. Thanks guys!
Thie impact of LZ was massive. For me it was bigger than the Beatles and I lived through both bands rise.
Not the original cover. This cover is from a much later compilation album. The original album is Led Zeppelin 4.
head phones !!!!!!!
That is Robert Plant playing the harmonica! Its done to sound like a train whistle!

It is a harmonica. Understanding what a levee is would help you to understand the song.
This is from the untitled album better sound on that album.
something else is playing at the same time. maybe another video or advert. actually it is a harmonica. this is blues/rock
Next Led Zepp song ... ACHILES LAST STAND !!!

Should have pulled up the lyrics.
Led Zeppelin is primarily blues based.

Headphones or just do something else.
Epic fail, sick of reactions not giving this groundbreaking music it’s due respect and yes, it is harmonica with the reverb reversed.
