a good quality whiskey is nice to have to sip on occasionally. personally I am a fan of single barrel select, generally it is a slightly higher proof and still smooth
I have listened to other reaction TH-cam channels and nothing compares to Polo. He’s authentic, open-minded, soulful, humble, and just adorable. He talks just enough but not too much. There is something reassuring about getting older and seeing a young man being moved by the music that inspired us as kids back in the 70s. Thank you, Polo!
Fun times at their concerts. I was 15 yrs old when I saw them. Of course, I had all the albums. Then again in New Orleans in1995. Can't get enough of LZ. There is a concert with Robert and Jimmy in 95 Rio dejenero. It's really an awesome concert. Watch it til the end.
The Rain Song is one of the greatest songs ever written. In my opinion. It's amazing that Robert and Jimmy did this live so many years later in their careers. Roberts voice obviously can't hit the notes he once was able to do but still sounds great with a little compensating and Jimmy sounds as good as he ever has. Having the orchestra behind them really makes this a fantastic video.
I'm still partial to the old MSG version from Song Remains the Same. I consider this song Jimmy's masterpiece. Although they cut him out here, John Paul's orchestral arrangements create beautiful passages that evoke complex emotions appropriate for the mystical lyrics. Some of the chord changes have an almost magical ability to really hit you right in the heart when you listen just right. Even the tuning Page plays it in is out of this world.
I had wondered whether they went outside of the core group to get the orchestral arrangement. So often, a "rock" band will want strings in a song, or horns, or woodwinds and not have the musical capability to write all the parts. Arrangement is art. And I should have known. Thank you, John Paul Jones.
I’d love for you to react to Robert Plant and Allison Kraus. They’ve been performing together for years and are back on tour. (Their album Raising Sand won the Grammy for album of the year in 2009).
Beautiful music to listen to. All the strings blending into a symphony of melodic mellowness. Then comes the surprise …..orchestral rock and roll. Live is superb; loving the little nuances.
Regarding us kids who grew up in the 70s with Led Zeppelin, yes I knew the climax was coming because Led Zeppelin has to be Led Zeppelin. And 50 years later seeing them play it live brings a tear to my eye along with the joy to my ears. Thank you Polo
My favorite song ever and this dvd is awesome!! Saw Page and Plant in 95-96 awesome!! This one especially, love them being older, live he way Jimmy drops the pick at the end of this beautiful song! GOD! What talent!❤️❤️❤️❤️RIP John Bonham!
I saw Page/Plant in both 1995 and 1998....and don't get me wrong - I love Jason Bonham and his O2 performance was immaculate.....but Michael Lee was the closest Page/Plant/Jones ever came to the Zep sound post-Bonham.
Thank you this is my favorite performance of Rain Song. Robert Plant recently ended his set list with this beautiful song. I’m seeing him in concert for the 5th time this August in Washington State. He still sings amazing! And Jimmy Page! I haven’t seen him in concert but I watch every video of Led Zeppelin to truly appreciate the genius guitarist that he is!
I feel bad for the people that died before this music existed. I feel guilty for being alive and knowing this music, when so many people have come and gone without knowing it. And to think there are some people alive today that don't even know it's here. That's a crime. Great video as always!
Glad you chose the Page Plant Unledded version of the Rain Song. You should check out the version of Kashmir from this session with the Egyptian orchestra added. That really comes together ;)
I’m a 65yo man that enjoys you being around to listen to great tunes with me. I wait till evening to check you out so I can have a drink and watch and listen. Cheers!
On drinking, as with anything in life, it is always wise to check yourself to watch for negatives, and simply not let it control your actions or subvert your will. Use it as a treat, as an ease, even as a crutch, but never as an answer, and you'll be fine. The simple answer is always: Know thyself. Much love, brother.
Love me some Led Zeppelin been listening to them since I was in junior high riding a bicycle with a Jambox tape player bungee corded to the handlebars of my bicycle
Try 5htp, You can get it at the pharmacy. It will really help your anxiety. I have horrible anxiety and I did not want to do pharma, this was recommended to me. I started at the lowest ,then went up one increment. SO good. No anxiety and a mood elevator. Good luck with this, and I love your channel.
Robert Plant is coming to my hometown in June (with Allison Krauss) and the tickets are $490 a piece. ( Its a smaller venue, amphitheater at our local Zoo) And, if I could afford it I would pay it IN A HEARTBEAT. He's in his 70's (I'm 59) still doing his thing...HAVE ALWAYS LOVED Led Zepplin since my babysitters (in the early 70s) introduced me. Thank you for this reaction...
I had never really heard this tune before until I saw Almost Famous. Since then, it has become one of my fav Zep songs. Almost Famous btw is one of my all time fav movies. Soundtrack is awesome
I agree, I enjoy the Tribal reactions to music, food etc. I love Led Zeppelin and this song is at the top of the list along with Kashmir, Since I've Been Loving You, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and so many many more! Thank you Polo!
Thank you for playing this song, it gives me chills and always chokes me up my husband said this is is his song to me. ❤ so much feeling to the lyrics.
Beautiful performance! I have to say I could feel Plants instinct to stand up and sing. Great vocals but I think Plant is more comfortable singing on his feet.
Nothing wrong with an occ drink if you feel like having it. Don't let anyone say anything bad to you. You obviously are a smart young man and know limits. I have dealt with anxiety and panic disorder for over 40 years. I like zeps slow stuff . I love all zeppelin. Grew up as a teen when they came together. Melissa Ward here. Ty sir for your reactions.
My dad took me to see them for my 19th birthday (1995) in Orlando with one of my best friends and his dad, who was one of my dad's best friends. I'd only started played guitar about 5 months before and wasn't really deep in the catalog yet, but that show changed my musical life. Thanks, Dad.
Love your reactions. This is from MTV - 1994 "UnLedded" Page and Plant went on to tour in 1995 -1996 with this band and various orchestras as well as Egyptian musicians - the No Quarter tour. There's so much good music from this MTV special and lots of filmed gigs from the tour. Hope you'll check out more.☮
This is the song that will be played when I pass away 🎶♥️ This and “Great Gig in the Sky” 🫶🏻 Also, the bass player is Charlie Jones, son-in-law to Robert 🎼
Hi Polo will you review the song, “Babe I’m gonna leave you “from Austin City Limits video, Robert and his former band , the Sensational Spaceshifters did a exquisite version of one Led Zepps greatest songs. I get to see him in August I know I’m so lucky to be in the 3rd row center stage once again.
If you get a chance, watch the Rain Song version from the Song Remains the Song concert video from the '73 MSG Shows. There's an accompanying video that's transcendent. JPJ was the accompanying orchestra when LZ played.
While this is a great variation of the song with the orchestra , go watch the version from their movie "The Song Remains The Same". All of that orchestration is done by one person, the magnificent John Paul Jones. You also get the best drummer in rock history, the mighty John Bonham.
One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. This live version gave me such good vibes. "Over the hills and far away" is another one of my favorites. Peace and Love

a good quality whiskey is nice to have to sip on occasionally. personally I am a fan of single barrel select, generally it is a slightly higher proof and still smooth
Using alcohol or anything to deal with anxiety is a huge slippery slope, please be careful! One of my favorite songs!!!
That entire MTV unplugged/ unleaded special is amazing.

I feel the same, enjoying this channel
@@karenLsmith-di6snme too. Just loving Polo, his reactions, and some incredible music.
The best part is the little nod and wink Robert gives Jimmy at the end signifying “yep, you nailed it”
Fun times at their concerts. I was 15 yrs old when I saw them. Of course, I had all the albums. Then again in New Orleans in1995. Can't get enough of LZ. There is a concert with Robert and Jimmy in 95 Rio dejenero. It's really an awesome concert. Watch it til the end.

Arrangement is art.
And I should have known. Thank you, John Paul Jones.
Perfectly worded. Thank you. This is my favorite Zep song. It's incredibly beautiful.
I’d love for you to react to Robert Plant and Allison Kraus. They’ve been performing together for years and are back on tour. (Their album Raising Sand won the Grammy for album of the year in 2009).
Everyone should be partial to that version
Thank you jimmy page for making this gorgeous tune. Like an angel
Beautiful music to listen to. All the strings blending into a symphony of melodic mellowness. Then comes the surprise …..orchestral rock and roll. Live is superb; loving the little nuances.
The gentleman to the left of Robert is his Son in Law playing the Bass.
You just KNOW that drummer has been waiting his entire life for that! I gradutaed HS in '73, this entire album is very special to me...Keep On Polo!
It's so sad that Michael Lee died from an epileptic seizure in 2008. So much talent & promise.
Class of '74 here and Ditto!
@@chrisbanks6659so sad. Such a talented young man. Was pleased to see that Jimmy attended the funeral. Respect.
😂 I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE 1973. THANK YOU
This whole concert is just beautiful. Kashmir is on another level - and yes, we want a 3rd Kashmir reaction video.
Yes we do!!!
its raining here in Spain right now & this is my favourite Zep song.... love it 😄
It rains all the time here in WA state. Lol
For a guitist to stay in time with a whole orchestra amazing
Regarding us kids who grew up in the 70s with Led Zeppelin, yes I knew the climax was coming because Led Zeppelin has to be Led Zeppelin. And 50 years later seeing them play it live brings a tear to my eye along with the joy to my ears. Thank you Polo
What a trip to have been an orchestra member. Playing with the best, all of them.
Robert and Jimmy both singing. Robert with his voice, Jimmy with his guitar 🎸
That poor drummer had to fill some giant shoes on this gig. Think they all did a wonderful job. Great reaction, Polo.
Great drummer. Unfortunately he died in 2008 of a sudden epileptic fit.
I think Jon Bonham would have approved.
And what a job to try to fill Bonhams shoes!!
@@jensclarberg6419so sad!
@@jensclarberg6419
Michael Lee
Utilizing dynamics is what zepplin is all about.
This song is a masterpiece.
Humans have the capacity and ability to make the world better.
But do they?
One of the most beautiful love songs written. Also like Thank you from the Plant and Page album.
My favorite song ever and this dvd is awesome!! Saw Page and Plant in 95-96 awesome!! This one especially, love them being older, live he way Jimmy drops the pick at the end of this beautiful song! GOD! What talent!❤️❤️❤️❤️RIP John Bonham!
I saw them on this Plant Page tour with the orchestra also. I loved hearing Kashmir live with the full orchestra behind them!!!
I love the little smile Robert gives Jimmy at the end, complimenting his guitar work.
This same show has a great version of Kashmir with the classical orchestra and an Egyptian orchestra adding the Middle Eastern musical scale.
There is nothing wrong with alcohol until there is. Drink responsibly.
or not at all:)
Or until you are happy
The drummer is Micheal Lee he passed away at a young age. He was magnificent!
yeah, his performance made me crack a smile and I'm supposed to be a gangster.
He was the perfect choice to carry Bonzo's parts. An absolute powerhouse who filled some big shoes quite well. May he and Bonzo both rest in peace.
@@poloreacts27Yes! 😌 Michael was truly gifted .
@@VegasAlien1I agree 100%❤
I saw Page/Plant in both 1995 and 1998....and don't get me wrong - I love Jason Bonham and his O2 performance was immaculate.....but Michael Lee was the closest Page/Plant/Jones ever came to the Zep sound post-Bonham.
Sheer beauty, I was 22 when this first came out, what a lucky person I have been with music such as this for the back drop of my life.
Thank you this is my favorite performance of Rain Song. Robert Plant recently ended his set list with this beautiful song. I’m seeing him in concert for the 5th time this August in Washington State. He still sings amazing! And Jimmy Page! I haven’t seen him in concert but I watch every video of Led Zeppelin to truly appreciate the genius guitarist that he is!
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
The greatest band ever. This has always been my favorite song. Jimmy is purely magical.
I've seen Robert Plant sing the Rain Song twice recently with Saving Grace. Seeing him sing this at 75 gives the song new meaning, it's so beautiful.
Love that you appreciate this music. You made something that was lost found!
I feel bad for the people that died before this music existed. I feel guilty for being alive and knowing this music, when so many people have come and gone without knowing it. And to think there are some people alive today that don't even know it's here. That's a crime. Great video as always!
I remember seeing the tuning for this song when I picked it up on the guitar and I was like…
yea Page’s special
Exquisite. And Jimmie looked So Fine.
Thank you for loving Led Zeppelin! Makes me love you bigger! xo
This song is cool calm and a stress reliever for sure! And it makes me think.
Glad you chose the Page Plant Unledded version of the Rain Song. You should check out the version of Kashmir from this session with the Egyptian orchestra added. That really comes together ;)
The drummers like, 'finally!' (Goes nuclear on his kit).
I love the look Robert gives Jimmy right at the end. it's like "Yeah, we nailed it".
This song allows you to work through your emotions. Because you can’t move on without going through.
To understand the TRUE meaning of "The Rain Song" is what makes it
even more of a beautiful ❤ tune!!
Omg I LOVE this SOOOOOO much my favorite Zeppelin song ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a 65yo man that enjoys you being around to listen to great tunes with me. I wait till evening to check you out so I can have a drink and watch and listen. Cheers!
My 2nd fav Zepp song!! Love this tune...10 yrz gone
We all need a little something ❤ to get us through the day ❤ night ❤ peace ✌️ Polo....
Thanks for this version ❤
Led Zeppelin Gods 😊
The composition of this song nothing short of genius
The proper moderation to anything is the key
Wow ❤
"No amount of money ever bought a second of time." ~ Howard Stark, Iron Man
Page and Plant Since I’ve been loving you with the orchestra!🔥Roberts vocals and Jimmys playing = Phenomenal
Saw this concert tour in 1995 in Knoxville. What an amazing experience.
On drinking, as with anything in life, it is always wise to check yourself to watch for negatives, and simply not let it control your actions or subvert your will. Use it as a treat, as an ease, even as a crutch, but never as an answer, and you'll be fine. The simple answer is always: Know thyself. Much love, brother.
Credit to JPJ for writing the orchestra score!
JPJ wasn't part of the Unledded project and the orchestral arrangements are by Ed Shearmur.
This is one of their masterpieces. This will be played at my funeral.
Love me some Led Zeppelin been listening to them since I was in junior high riding a bicycle with a Jambox tape player bungee corded to the handlebars of my bicycle
That No Quarter concert was a great achievement by those boys and by all musicians involved. It’s a treasure chest. RIP Michael Lee
INDEED!

I've loved Zep since the 70s. This is their most beautiful song. The chords, strings, vocals....it's perfect. Just a perfectly written piece of music.

Every word is known by millions of us. Including me.
Pure Geniuses

good morning Polo,its 08.25 here & my 58th birthday on the 30th & been listening to LZ since I was 12
Well I probably won't see you so Happy Birthday
Thanks brother 🎉maybe I can do a request for my birthday,I’m from the UK originally & a drummer since a boy 👍love your reactions 😎
Beautiful~~~
Thank you for playing this song, it gives me chills and always chokes me up my husband said this is is his song to me. ❤ so much feeling to the lyrics.
Great song, thank you, Polo
The subtle brilliance of Jimmy Page !!!
Beautiful performance! I have to say I could feel Plants instinct to stand up and sing. Great vocals but I think Plant is more comfortable singing on his feet.
The shoes do not get any bigger for a drummer playing with these two rock gods. He held his own.
Every thing in Moderation❤
Im back to see the angels in Page in Plant.
Even at 50 yrs old, Jimmy was gorgeous to look at. Just wow. ❤️
Such a beautiful performance of this song.
The alternate tuning is what makes it you can play it in standard but you can't get the same lower octive notes that give it that extra something
Nothing wrong with an occ drink if you feel like having it. Don't let anyone say anything bad to you. You obviously are a smart young man and know limits.

It's like how much I enjoy watching you listening to the music I listened to as a teen and still do. Your reactions make me happy❤❤
Just when I don't think I can like you anymore ❤ thank you 💝 strange night for grandma. Love this song ❤ peace Polo ✌️
If you're anxiety is that bad, then you need to see what's going on. It's an addictive component of your personality.
❤ your reaction-insightful. Enjoyed!!

This is the song that will be played when I pass away 🎶♥️ This and “Great Gig in the Sky” 🫶🏻 Also, the bass player is Charlie Jones, son-in-law to Robert 🎼
Michael Lee on the drums… RIP… he was incredible!!
I missed Led Zeppelin in the '70s. But myself and a good friend of mine, caught up with them in the mid '90s twice: San Diego & Los Angeles 👍
I love the melancholy vibe of this song. It always makes me think of grey skies and vast landscapes. So beautiful
Just simply thank you
Hi Polo will you review the song, “Babe I’m gonna leave you “from Austin City Limits video, Robert and his former band , the Sensational Spaceshifters did a exquisite version of one Led Zepps greatest songs. I get to see him in August I know I’m so lucky to be in the 3rd row center stage once again.
Gives me goosebumps
i absolutely love this song. and especially this live rendition.
Great sound BTW. Always good for whatever ails you.
If you get a chance, watch the Rain Song version from the Song Remains the Song concert video from the '73 MSG Shows. There's an accompanying video that's transcendent. JPJ was the accompanying orchestra when LZ played.
Just a work of art...
