    Nobody does it like Zeppelin!! The one and only!! Greatest band to ever grace the planet! I'm 64 and I've loved them since I was 10!

    How many layers of greatness does it take to make a tune like this?
    Answer, ALL OF THEM.

    It's listening to this song that brought me into being a real Led Zeppelin fan. I was alive when they were touring but I was a kid and listening to lighter music. Now when I'm much older and I've known loss, it is this music that speaks to me and makes my ears hunger for more. It's so aurally rich.

    It was recorded in a 18th century stone building called Headley Grange. The drums were in the lobby with a three-storey timber staircase. The mikes we placed up the staircase . Various effects were used to get the final sound. Page always sought a live sound in the studio which simply recording live in a studio did not deliver. The space was too small to get the depth. This extra effort means Zeppelin recordings made 50 years ago remain impressive even up against the latest techniques.

    I'm not even halfway through the video. I just wanted to highlight what I think sets this reaction apart from a lot of others I have seen from Ken.
    This one is genuinely right in his wheelhouse. You can tell how much joy he is receiving from listening, appreciating, and describing all the little details/nuances. There is no telling how many times he has probably listened to this already in his time. Yet, he is still so genuinely happy to dive back into it all for us to see.
    I thought it was a great change-up to see Ken react to something that was his choice. I think it would be great to see similar reactions/analyses in the future.

    Bonham's stairwell was in Hedley Grange - an old English country house where the band had gone for a musical retreat. I believe this is the most sampled drum pattern ever.

  • @j.a.191

    One thing amazing about this song is that the rhythm section was recorded and then SLOWED DOWN. That's how in the pocket they were -- the pocket survives being slowed down. The vocals were laid down afterwards on the slowed down backing track.

  • @HollisDuty60

    One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Just found your channel. You seem to love LZ as much as I do so I’m checking out your content. I was in my teenage years during Led Zeppelin’s 12 years. Still loving them all this time. Their music takes you on a journey. You feel it in your soul. Best Rock/Blues band ever. Each individual was the best at their instrument/voice in Rock. As a band - out off this world. Then Jimmy Page’s vision, experimental music, and outstanding production. For me, they are and will always be GOAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  • @nflr92
    @nflr92 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The spot where the bass drops down an octave at 12:49 is always the part I wait for - it adds an entirely new "heaviness" (for lack of a better word) to an already heavy song. It's like a giant boulder slowly rolling over and crushing everything in its path. It doesn't need to go any faster to get the job done.

  • @Dan-zq5wt
    @Dan-zq5wt 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I think it’s called a Binson echo - creates that double hit effect - check out Rick Beato’s video on this. Nice reaction! Great comments about the lyrics versus the primal nature of the music. Zeppelin was the greatest at marrying the sound and feeling the song with the subject matter. In Levee, you literally feel like a poor father desperately trying to save his family in a Hurricane in the Delta. Similarly, the opening phased whooshing sound of Kashmir sweeps you into a new exotic world. That’s artistry man.

    There was a lot of production on this song. Bonzo's drums were set up in the entrance hall of Headley Grange, the former workhouse the band was living, rehearsing, and recording in and they had mics placed around and hanging above the drum kit to create the distance micing effect of capturing ambient room noise (distance = depth) to help get that amazing sound while also feeding it through a Binson Echorec and compressing the final product. Jimmy uses a slide to help give the guitar that stretchy sound and he and Jonesy used a modal structure to give the droning tone. Reverse echo was added to the harmonica and various effects were added to the vocals. If all this weren't enough, the vocals stayed at the same speed, however the instruments were slowed a half step in production to further assist with the sludgy, back water blues style sound. Robert was 22 when this was recorded. Any time you've really enjoyed the production on a song, thank Jimmy Page since he produced all the albums.

    • @HollisDuty60
      @HollisDuty60 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Actually Robert Plant was 22. Jimmy Page was 26.

    • @henriettaskolnick4445
      @henriettaskolnick4445 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@HollisDuty60 You are correct; Robert would have been 22 when it was recorded and 3 months into his new age of 23 by the time the album was released in November of 1971. Thanks for the keen eye. 🙂

    Robert singing in real time, while the music is slowed down. Harmonica is played with an echo effect with the echo played back first. Jimmy is often overlooked as a producer.

    Robert Plant has more so had the greatest vocals, still really sounds great, but the early years took a toll on his vocal cords. How he could change range so quick, & so effortlessly beautiful, is why he’s the greatest. Sorry Freddy Mercury isn’t quite the same league, close just not quite.

    I never understand why reactors revisit songs they've already heard and jammed to. Part of the excitement from our end is to watch somebody see something for the first time. Use me as an example. I've heard every song available so I dont do reaction videos because I've already heard it. Nobody wants to watch me wiggle and jiggle on point to a song I already know. That's like watching someone who as already seen Back to the Future and try to pretend and guess that mom will likely fall in love with her son early on in the reaction. Just saying. Love your vids btw unless you've already heard it.
