Just a side note,Ari Nicole..this song was recorded in one take,no auto tune, no computers, no BS, ..that's why you hear that stuff at the end of the song, they wanted to let everyone know it was done in one take, simply amazing! One of the tightest rock bands ever..
Peter Grant... Led Zeppelins manager was a major contributor to their sound and success because He made sure that they had complete creative control of their music while... Peter handled the business side of the group....and He was the best..Peter was a legend as well....
Great reactions Ari, keep em coming. Love your insights. For me the thing with Zeppelin is the four great but EQUAL parts come together to form an even greater whole. Unlike so many bands each member of Zeppelin shines through on virtually every song and that is a testament to their talent and Page's vision for the band, after all he produced all their albums. These guys are the template for all who followed and remain in a class by themselves to this day.
Props to you for understanding that what makes them the GOAT is their chemistry together - which is why their live improvisational style was magical. You really need to hear this track live - Earl's Court 1975.....along with Trampled Underfoot from that same 1975 show. Jimmy Page - the last remaining member of the Yardbirds after they split up - formed the band in late 1968. John Paul Jones - keyboardist and bassist - joined Jimmy, having been friends with Jimmy as a session musician ("musician for hire") in London together for years. Robert Plant was recruited into the band after a suggested tip from the great vocalist/guitarist Terry "Superlungs" Reid. Robert's best friend was drummer John Bonham, the GOAT of rock drumming. When they met in a small recording studio in London to rehearse for the 1st time, they each described the first time they played together as "magical." They dominated the rock world until John's death in 1980. Often copied, but never duplicated. TY for the great reaction.
@@puromichoacan8339 The first time they ever played together was in a basement below a record store on Gerrard Street in London in August, 1968....which is now a Chinese restaurant.
This is taken from an old blues song, "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" by Blind Willie Johnson, 1927. There's also a great live version of this, "In My Time of Dying" live at Earls Court, 1975. Check it out!
Spot on about their chemistry. Thus, when Bonzo died, they knew "Led Zeppelin" ceased to be and rather then finding just another drummer, they hung it up. Sad, but awesome. God bless.
Jimmy Page was in the yardbirds and they kinda dissolved in 67 or 68. He wanted to start a new band and already knew john paul jones from both being session players. John paul jones told jimmy about robert plant for a singer (some of the guys jimmy wanted werent available) . Jimmy loved plants voice, then plant told them about john bohnam. The first time they all 4 got together and jammed they looked around the room at each other and knew , wow this could be good!
It was the great singer/guitarist Terry Reid who told Jimmy about Robert Plant. Jimmy wanted Terry as the lead singer, but Terry was committed to a tour and under contract. So Terry turned down the lead singer role in Zep. Interestingly, Terry later turned down the lead singer role in Deep Purple as well.
Since you've already done a reaction to the live version of 'Since I've Been Loving You' ...a reaction to the studio version is a must. It is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
This is a show case for John Bonham ..He is known for the signature bass to snare high hat rhythm but this one has many rolls..His Ludwig large drum set up was made to make it sound like he was on top of a mountain thanks to another drummer Carmine Appice that had a influence on his triplet style and the size of his drums that he recommended to John ..
Terrific reaction, my dear! You absolutely get it, when it comes to why this band has MORE than stood the test of time. Led Zeppelin (like many Classic Rock artists -- but mainly Zep) are like a fine wine: they just get better with age. As for this particular track...what you just listened to was a live studio jam -- no overdubs, no effects -- just four dudes pulling-off a masterpiece in one take! This is one of my favorites, and I'm pleased that you enjoyed it, too. I hope to see you continue down this rabbit hole, as LZ's catalogue is stupendous -- there may be songs the band, themselves, weren't too crazy about, but I don't think they have even ONE song that could be considered as "bad." That's enough for now, I suppose...you look lovely, btw. Take care!
Their music never grows old. I heard it when it first came out, and I love it just as much today. I'll be listening to this music until the day I die. For real Rock 'n Roll enthusiasts, Led Zeppelin has been a blessing for decades .... I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction video here!
Great reaction Ari Nicole,, love to see people from a younger generation grooving on their music..Plus you're intelligent, articulate, and know your shit about good music!!
I've been a Zeppelin fan for over forty years, and I still learn about their music constantly. Even more in this age of reactors like yourself. Things get mentioned that I had never considered. I am also a drummer, and largely model my playing after Bonham. You can hear so many dynamic details in his playing, partly due to the production that Page agreed to, keeping the drums heavy in the mix, which allowed John to utilize his skills to lay back, then sneak up on you with a BOOM! You will definitely enjoy learning all those facets of his plating as I have. By the way, D'yer Mak'r has maybe the best drum production sound of all! I must add that two of my personal favorite studio recordings are "When the Levee Breaks" and "the Ocean". Thanks for letting us enjoy your Zep trip!
Led Zepplin formed in 1968 and one of their earliest life performances was in March 1969. Treat yourself to this “How Many More Times” (Danmarks Radio 1969).
I grew up with this music Led Zepplin was my 2nd concert January 1975. Studio versions are the best ones to listen to when starting a Zepplin journey. These are my favorites. ‘Babe I’m Gonna leave you’, ‘You Shook Me’, ‘Bring It On Home’, ‘When The Levee Breaks’, ‘No Quarter’, ‘Ten Years Gone’ and many more.
*Ari* EXCELLENT video.!!! I'm thoroughly enjoying observing your personal journey down my G.O.A.T. bands rabbit hole.! Let me drop 3 suggestions to you & will see what happens..... 1) Achilles Last Stand { Album/Studio version }. Off of Presence, 1st track 2) The Ocean { LIVE } from The 1973 Live at Madison Square Garden concert 3) Goin to California { Album/Studio } OR { LIVE at Earls Court 1975 } an acoustic masterpiece I have 25 others I could suggest as I'm sure everyone else does but well you'll see..:) Much Love *David*
Hi Stormy! This is an amazing jam. John is wailing on the drums. Love your analysis Ari! They are amazing. Love your hairstyle. Thanks for making my day!
As far as how they got together. Jimmy was literally stuck with Yardbirds. Just him and no one else. Was contractually obligated to fulfill concert dates. He knew John Paul Jones during their days as studio or session musicians. He asked a guy by the name of Terry Reid to sing. He couldn't but recommended a 19 year old by the name of Robert Plant. Plant in turn says I know a drummer I played with. I 4get if it was Crawling King Snakes or Band of Joy. Anywho his name was John Bonham and the rest is history
Love your Led Zep reaction! How have you not reacted to "Ramble on", the vocals of Robert Plant, or "whole Lota Love" (live), voted one of the top rock songs of all time. Please do these two. Well worth it. Others to look at. When the Levee Breaks, Heartbreaker, Black Dog
Very good Ari, nice to see you back to Zeppelin, that album was a double album with all kinds of bangers on it, try The Wanton Song, The Rover and Trampled Underfoot. You should go back to their earlier stuff to get a better perspective on their entire career but anyway you do it, seeing you react to anything they do brings a huge smile to my face. You look great with you hair like that! I can't wait to see you react to Pink Floyd, when you do have a chance, please try Comfortably Numb, both the studio original and the Live Pulse Concert version, both will freak you out! They were as good as Zeppelin but in a different way but if you like one, you almost always like the other. Thanks and have a nice weekend, stay safe in this crazy world and enjoy your tunes. 🎵
You made a statement, 'No one else can do something like this and be so free with it and make it sound good and hook you in with it'. To me and MOST everyone reading this I'm sure will agree, PINK FLOYD is that other G.O.A.T. who can do that to your soul...!!! Time, Wish you were here, Comfortably Numb', Shine On You Cr,azy Diamond 1-5, Welcome to the Machine just for starter if you haven't done any of those songs. Great insight into Led Zepp, one of my ALL TIME Favorites also. Peace
Just wait until you hear The Lemon Song and Heartbreaker from Led Zeppelin 2, which are driven by the bass. You will get how important John Paul Jones was to the band.
in short Jimmy was an established studio musician and international rock star (Yardbirds). He put this whole deal together he is the boss the brains the studio producer the genius behind this band and their success. without him led zeppelin does not exist.
jimmy was in the yardbirds and after a while the rest of the band got fed up and quit. that left jimmy with a band name and gigs to do but no actual band lol. he knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do and what sound he wanted. john paul jones found out and rang jimmy, they were top session guitarists in the early/mid 60s so jimmy said yes. jimmy wanted terry reed on vocals but he was busy, he suggested jimmy check out a kid (19!) called robert plant, they met and got on great. robert then said you NEED to hear my mate john bonham hes a great drummer (20 years old too) when the 4 of them 1st met none of them knew what to play (they ended up doing train kept a rollin which 3 of them didnt actually know lol) according to them the room just exploded when they 1st jammed together and they all knew instantly they were good and VERY powerful. thats the short version
Jimmy Page was a well sought after studio musician so he spent a lot of time in studios and learned a lot about production. When he formed Zeppelin he knew what he was looking for and he wanted everyone to stand on their own with nobody standing out as the "one". I think he succeeded.
This song live at Earls Court, the MAY 25,1975 version is soooo mind blowing. There are other versions from that venue, but the MAY 25th is the best visuals & audio.
I think your ready now for LZ "Achilles Last Stand" all the members are masters of their instruments, will blow your mind! Cant wait to see your reaction!
Hey Ari ! Love your video reaction! Thanks for reminding me to stay with H2O! I seem to forget! I've always wondered why, generally generally generally speaking, that beer can be consumed in a setting more than H2o ! A little food for thought! I think Robert Plant was suffering from l laryngitis and while healing from it , he still recorded, in my opinion, the best album out of their entire catalog!!
Hey Ari Nicole👋nice to meet you!😁I’m a “Led Zeppelinite”like you’ve just become it would seem.😆 I started playing guitar 🎸 when I was fifteen back about the time John Bohnam sadly passed and for all intents and purposes, that was the end of Zeppelin as far as the band was concerned because no one could possibly fill his shoes. Not to mention that him and Robert were best friends and were in a band together when they were discovered by Page and John Paul Jones who were trying to form a new band(guess who🤭)but you were wondering how they all ended up together. Well when Plant and Bohnam were approached by “Jonesy” and Page to get together and see what they could come up with, they got together in a 4’by4’ft. room with all their equipment jammed in there and and lit 🔥 into the old blues classic “Train Kept A Rollin”(which Aerosmith has a classic version of as well) and as soon as they started playing they all started looking around at each other and they just knew they had something special here😳😲😃😁! I just love that story 🤭😆🤣Just thought you might like to know😄Can you imagine sitting in that tiny room listening to that!!!🤯😂😝🤟✌️🫶❤
As far as the headphone effect. I had a 16 track recorder down my basement back in my band days it is what they called panning. You set the knob the in middle while playing. When you mix the song you can play with the Pan knob gently turning it left and right. Jimmy was a master producer.
You are awesome!! you remind of my teen self (I'm 52) First time I heard Black Dog there was no going back to U2, Michael Jackson. lol You have a great appreciation for all the band members and you understand their connection to one another. Jimmy Page started my love for Les Paul sound, my fave guitarist. Please do a reaction to 'Nobody' Fault But Mine' ..John Bonham OWN's that song. Powerful. Your reviews are authentic like Led Zeppelin! Keep 'em coming!
Led Zeppelin are my favourite band of all time, and your reactions to them are the best by far ❤ Have you heard any Pink Floyd yet? I've seen you haven't reacted to any yet, I would love to see you react to them... I would suggest 'Comfortably numb' from the Pulse concert, or 'Time' 'Wish you were here" 'Have a Cigar' there are loads to choose from... they are my second favourite band ever, I would love to see what you react to Pink Floyd... BTW its my 60th birthday today... go on, for an old man.. 🤣🤣
GOATS! Don’t listen to those studio nerds. The first time you hear this song, it should be live. You’ll kick yourself when you watch it! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥P.S. I wonder if the studio nerds watch the movie, then read the book? Just askin🤷🏻♂️
Stormy got beautiful eyes! Hair is nice...nice to see you do more Zeppelin. I would like to recommend All of my love. That song is very popular but not reacted to much. Robert Plant dedicated that song for his son who died at age 5 while he was on tour. Such a cool song
Jimmy was a studio guitarist at the time and he already knew the other members he wanted to create Led Zeppelin with. Zeppelin was started by Jimmy Page.
You have great taste in music if love and appreciate LZ. One of the few bands in history you could put every song of theirs on a dart board. Throw the dart and you will love the song it hits. I love your reactions
*Ari* ....... had to add a second comment. Going to narrow the focus.! PLEASE check out, specifically, Goin to California.!!! Personally I would do the LIVE version at *Earls Court 1975* but.... The Studio version off their acoustic album, Led Zeppelin 3 works nicely to.! It's a short song and you'll notice the absence of one members playing. But...... I've ALWAYS loved that song and I think you will to.! OK.... enuff from me today. Take Care
Physical Graffiti is my "deserted island" album. I'm 58 and enjoy listening to damn near anything put in front of me. This is by far my favorite album of all time. One of the main things I love about it is it's an absolute tour de force by John Bonham. A masterpiece in every way.
I always figured if you knew the studio version then you can spot what the changes and additions are. BTW it really was destiny just like Black Sabbath. You nailed the reaction, I hope you come back and do more because you obviously love music and have good insights and ear for it. John owned this song for sure. What's funny is Jimmy already knew JPJ and they were looking to get Terry Reid to be the singer for the new band, he didn't want the gig but suggested they check out Robert Plant who was friends with John Bonham already and whom nobody wanted to play with "because he played too loud" can you imagine the GOAT unwanted? I would suggest "When the levee breaks"
Jimmy Page first appeared on the BBC at 14 with his first band that specialized in skiffle. You can find it on TH-cam, kinda of like an Ed Sullivan show. The host asks him what wants to do, and he says be a biologist. I find that odd the greatest guitar player ever has a guitar around his neck on TV at 14 and doesn realize he is destined to be the best Eve to draw breath.
Ari if you liked Since I’ve been Loving you Zep has another song with the same flavor but different it’s Tea for One. I call it the older sister to Since I’ve Loving you.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page where at a cottage and Jimmy picked up John Paul Jones mandolin and they made the Battle of Evermore on the spot. It’s polished up on the studio record but they wrote it in minutes. That’s one that you should listen to it is totally different from anything you have listen to so far
The story of Led Zeppelin and how they became what they became (:. The story starts with Jimmy Page who before 1968 which was the official forming of LZ (: . Several years earlier Jimmy was a session guitar player who was playing or doing guitar sessions or guitar work for The Who and many famous Artists back then (:. Now take into consideration that Jimmy was playing guitar since he was really young inspired by the music of his time (:. But as a session player he learned so much about how too record produce all of it and even played along other session players like John Paul Jones who knew how too play everything from guitars acoustic and otherwise and keyboards organs bass all of it and extremely well but often in Led Zep didn't get much credit for his contributions or wasn't .mention as much as the other three (:. But his wizardry was obvious a main part of Led Zep (:. But not too stray away from the story Jimmy finally did all he could in session playing and decided too break on his own and maybe join a group or eventually put one group together (:. His friend and manager at the time Peter Grant referred too him a great group who was already pretty big at the time (:. The Yard Birds but we're having problems with a member or there members in this case one member who was already begining too leave the group (: Guitarist Jeff Beck (:. Why he left I really not sure something too do maybe with his girlfriend or the fact Jimmy Hendrix was the Ultimate Guitarist at the time and Nobody but Nobody could match him not even Beck or Eric Clapton another great guitarist who might have played for the Yard Birds but definitely played for another great group Cream were he met and was introduced too Hendrix and his Larger Than Life Guitar God Skills (:. And I think he became his friend as well as Beck and Page who also could match Hendrix's but you name it Nobody could match him but everybody was his friend (: Hendrix was The Shit Then And Forever (:. But let me not stray Anyway Jimmy was invited too play for the Yard Birds and played with them for several gigs until finally the whole band broke apart and eventually left control of the name and music of the band too Jimmy (:. Then jimmy went looking for members too fill in the spots for a band or super band (:. He first got John Paul Jones who like Jimmy was already a Wizard on the guitar as well as every other instrument and had played with Jimmy so the knew each pretty well (:. Then Jimmy heard about this singer called Robert plant who was a tremendous Soul and Rythm and Blues Singer and decided too check him out (:. Now Robert plant had been playing in alot of bands when he met for the first time John Bonham a Phenomonal drummer at the time and already considered the very best in most of England (:. John went up too Robert and and told him your pretty good but you would be way better if you had me playing drums for you (:. Robert at the time finding that comment comical but interesting was seduced and then John became the Drummer for Roberts group can't remember the name (:. Now John before Meeting Robert had played with several groups and was beating pots and pans since he was a kid was just a beast from birth on the drums who as he acquired more knowledge and playing time became the loudest and absolute best drummer in his home town and most of England literally born too play the drums probably in my opinion the only equivalent too Hendrix's with John like Hendrix's was a God but only difference John played the drums and Hendrix's guitar (:. So like I said John played with Robert and they became good friends (:. Now Jimmy was still trying too put other members in the group with members of The Who (:. I think one of them heard about the band and thought that Jimmy was crazy and would never create a super group (:. Then he laughed and said it would fall out of the sky and come crashing down and burn like a Led Zeppelin (:. Which is another term for those Big Flying Bimps that fly over football stadiums probably Good Year (:. But back then not too perfected really bad ones (:. So Jimmy inspired by the name took it and used it and went too see Robert who when he heard him had too have him in the band and they became good friends Robert then introduced him too John and the band was formed (:. They played for the first time and saw they had the power and the electricity too create music that has never been heard for before ever (:. Most of them were very big fans of Rythm and Blues Players from the past and had middle Eastern influences as well as other musical mediums (:. And decided too mesh and create there experimental sound (:. At first the band was introduced as The New Yard Birds until that contract was forfilled for the last tour dates that hey played as that band and then finally they were officially Led Zeppelin and played the first time in 1968 in some school or university and blew the crowd away Blew Atlantic Records Away who signed them immediately and gave them complete creativity of there music which back then most artists couldn't really get ever (:. There Manager Peter Grant made sure they got paid and properly without the record company or venue owners ripping them off and make sure there ability too create was not disturbed and intact (:. So like I said as The Mighty LED ZEPPELIN they not only blew everyone away with there sound and power and musicality but No one wanted too open or close for them PERIOD in live shows (:. They were that great (:. 4 Musical Musicians that were already Masters before they formed Zeppelin and just became Musical God Like Titans who for 12 years in there career were Unmatched Untouched and literally created about 9 maybe 10 albums with some of the ABSOLUTE Best Music Ever Created PERIOD (: A body of musical FIRE GENIUS and Pure BLISS (:. But unfortunately in 1980 when John died it was a very hard loss and the band had too quit (:. Then Jimmy took it upon himself too preserve the ongoing Legacy of LED ZEPPELIN (: Which am happy too say it still alive and well and stronger than ever today and will always be (: Oh I almost forgot what truly made them LED ZEPPELIN and above the rest wasn't just there knowledge of the music but there uncanny ability too create and make up stuff on the spot when they were live on stage playing (:. Which was always different with every song and every concert (: They broke records and set them as well also played 3hour concerts opening and closing for themselves because as I said Nobody wanted too suffer the embarrassment of opening or closing a concert because there just wasn't anyone back then or ever that could match them PERIOD (:. INFINITE FIRENESS GREATNESS they were and still are (: But it started with Jimmy Page who wanted too create music that would change the world and found lightening in a box composed of The Greatest Goats Musicians ever too exist on this planet and the known UNIVERSE PERIOD (: And that's the story of LZ (: Oh I almost forgot Jimmy also produced and arranged all there albums each song which is also why all there music sounds beyond PERFECTION PERIOD (: Now if there were bands that came close or could match in my opinion I only know of two (:. Both Super Groups (:. Which means like Led Zeppelin they could do anything musically period with Absolute GREATNESS (:. These two are Pink Floyd and Queen (:. And that's pretty much it (:. Nobody else (:. You can check out there music also you will lol them too (:. Because both of them took learned and were inspired in some form by Led Zeppelin and members of those bands openly admitted too it (:. So Yeah Led Zeppelin is just everything PERIOD (:.
Love me some slide blues. This song comes from here in Miss'ippi, in the late 1920s. "Jesus - meet me in the air. If my wings should fail me... meet me with another pair." (Jesus, Make Up My Dyin' Bed). Yep, it's almost a hundred years old!
That's the thunder that came out of nowhere If you really like drums , check out the song "Moby Dick" studio runs like 04:19 but their 1973 live version runs 14 minutes+ ❤️ your reaction
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to this song LIVE AT EARL'S COURT 1975 BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE EVER!!!!!! LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER WATCHING THIS ART LIVE!!!
Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe live at Monterey Pop will blow you away!!! His first concert in the US with the Experience. Most say he's better than Jimmy Page so decide for yourself😀😀😀
They are perfect and you nail it 1000% There are very few bands that have this perfection...very few. You have met Pink Floyd and the others ( if you make the journey) you will find them.
Robert Plant and John Bonham were mates in the Birmingham, North country England area. Jimmy Page commissioned Robert and Robert suggested his old mate John Bonham for Jimmy's band.
You have a talent in at the very least in explaining what you are hearing. Song structure and melodies you can envision the processes. Don't concern yourself with the technical terms (unless you want to go further), right now, just enjoy. Good for YOU! Great Vid, Thanks!
Since I know you love live performances better than studio tracks, I highly suggest watching LZ perform Kashmir, live at celebration day, it was a one-off reunion concert in 2007... It will blow your mind for the reason that they are much older (32 years since that song was originally released) and how Jason Bonham kills it on drums to make his late dad John a proud papa. A must watch for any LZ fan. here's the link: th-cam.com/video/PD-MdiUm1_Y/w-d-xo.html
Just a side note,Ari Nicole..this song was recorded in one take,no auto tune, no computers, no BS, ..that's why you hear that stuff at the end of the song, they wanted to let everyone know it was done in one take, simply amazing! One of the tightest rock bands ever..
This is gonna be the one...
Have a listen then...
Yep 1974 when they wrote and composed this to make the double album
Greatest band ever! Also do the live one from Earls court 1975
Listen to Julie! :)
Peter Grant... Led Zeppelins manager was a major contributor to their sound and success because He made sure that they had complete creative control of their music while... Peter handled the business side of the group....and He was the best..Peter was a legend as well....
Quite right. Most of the great 70's bands had sharks for managers. Peter Grant did everything right by the band. The best manager of any rock band.
Great reactions Ari, keep em coming. Love your insights. For me the thing with Zeppelin is the four great but EQUAL parts come together to form an even greater whole.

ACTUALLY, the 1st time they rehearsed, was at Jimmy's boathouse in Pangbourne.

You’re are very bright! Not many reactors can break it down like you. You’re an old soul!
This has to be viewed live...Earls Court 1975...this is classic blues! The GOATS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is in my top five L.Z., the top is very fluid!
Jimmy Page was in the yardbirds and they kinda dissolved in 67 or 68. He wanted to start a new band and already knew john paul jones from both being session players.

Yepp yepp, Terry suggested Robert who was at the time with another band, The Band of Joy, in Woverhampton.
@@tektoniks_architects thanks. I must look Reid up. Have a listen
Great reaction! If you like Johns's drums you should react to "When the Levee Breaks". They recorded in the living room at Headley Grange
Nope , John's drums were placed in the stairwell of Hedley Grange . Because of the natural acoustics & echo
and 'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
Since you've already done a reaction to the live version of 'Since I've Been Loving You' ...a reaction to the studio version is a must. It is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
This is a show case for John Bonham ..He is known for the signature bass to snare high hat rhythm but this one has many rolls..His Ludwig large drum set up was made to make it sound like he was on top of a mountain thanks to another drummer Carmine Appice that had a influence on his triplet style and the size of his drums that he recommended to John ..

45 years here... we're getting old. 🤣
Led Zepplin formed in 1968 and one of their earliest life performances was in March 1969. Treat yourself to this “How Many More Times” (Danmarks Radio 1969).
this is a jam recorded, they setup together in the studio and played through it live, sooooooooo good
It's 11 minutes long but it's also several songs in one. Best ever.
You really have to see the live version at Earl's Court. Unreal live guitar performance by Page.
Love your reactions. While you're in that album..In The Light is also right up there. Then Trampled Under Foot.🤘
With Zeppelin, they're all great. Not a joke. You keep doing awesome reactions to them, we'll keep tuning in. Oh yeah, live versions are often better.
Love that you go so in depth on the Zeppelin songs
Looking forward to your next Zeppelin reaction!
I grew up with this music Led Zepplin was my 2nd concert January 1975. Studio versions are the best ones to listen to when starting a Zepplin journey. These are my favorites. ‘Babe I’m Gonna leave you’, ‘You Shook Me’, ‘Bring It On Home’, ‘When The Levee Breaks’, ‘No Quarter’, ‘Ten Years Gone’ and many more.
The live version is out of this world!
Yes, Bonzo was the best that ever was. And now you know why Led Zep called it quits when he passed away.
He was irreplaceable.
This ENTIRE album rocks!!
Damn Ari,love the hair and your eyelashes are on point...😍
Gorgeous as always..💖
*Ari* EXCELLENT video.!!! I'm thoroughly enjoying observing your personal journey down my G.O.A.T. bands rabbit hole.! Let me drop 3 suggestions to you & will see what happens.....
1) Achilles Last Stand { Album/Studio version }. Off of Presence, 1st track
2) The Ocean { LIVE } from The 1973 Live at Madison Square Garden concert
3) Goin to California { Album/Studio } OR { LIVE at Earls Court 1975 } an acoustic masterpiece
I have 25 others I could suggest as I'm sure everyone else does but well you'll see..:) Much Love *David*
Hi Stormy! This is an amazing jam. John is wailing on the drums. Love your analysis Ari! They are amazing. Love your hairstyle. Thanks for making my day!
@#$COUGH one recording... one take... legends. RIP BONZO 🙏🏻 🥁
As far as how they got together. Jimmy was literally stuck with Yardbirds. Just him and no one else. Was contractually obligated to fulfill concert dates. He knew John Paul Jones during their days as studio or session musicians. He asked a guy by the name of Terry Reid to sing. He couldn't but recommended a 19 year old by the name of Robert Plant. Plant in turn says I know a drummer I played with. I 4get if it was Crawling King Snakes or Band of Joy. Anywho his name was John Bonham and the rest is history
Love your Led Zep reaction! How have you not reacted to "Ramble on", the vocals of Robert Plant, or "whole Lota Love" (live), voted one of the top rock songs of all time. Please do these two. Well worth it. Others to look at. When the Levee Breaks, Heartbreaker, Black Dog
Very good Ari, nice to see you back to Zeppelin, that album was a double album with all kinds of bangers on it, try The Wanton Song, The Rover and Trampled Underfoot. You should go back to their earlier stuff to get a better perspective on their entire career but anyway you do it, seeing you react to anything they do brings a huge smile to my face. You look great with you hair like that!
I can't wait to see you react to Pink Floyd, when you do have a chance, please try Comfortably Numb, both the studio original and the Live Pulse Concert version, both will freak you out! They were as good as Zeppelin but in a different way but if you like one, you almost always like the other.
Thanks and have a nice weekend, stay safe in this crazy world and enjoy your tunes. 🎵
Check out the live performance of this song from the Earls Court concert. Slide guitar solo from Page is off the charts.
The1975 version of this song is off the hook! The album cover is a tenement building in Manhattan. It's still there.
You absolutely have to do this live at Earls Court 1975..epic
You made a statement, 'No one else can do something like this and be so free with it and make it sound good and hook you in with it'. To me and MOST everyone reading this I'm sure will agree, PINK FLOYD is that other G.O.A.T. who can do that to your soul...!!! Time, Wish you were here, Comfortably Numb', Shine On You Cr,azy Diamond 1-5, Welcome to the Machine just for starter if you haven't done any of those songs. Great insight into Led Zepp, one of my ALL TIME Favorites also. Peace
Just wait until you hear The Lemon Song and Heartbreaker from Led Zeppelin 2, which are driven by the bass. You will get how important John Paul Jones was to the band.
in short Jimmy was an established studio musician and international rock star (Yardbirds). He put this whole deal together he is the boss the brains the studio producer the genius behind this band and their success. without him led zeppelin does not exist.
jimmy was in the yardbirds and after a while the rest of the band got fed up and quit. that left jimmy with a band name and gigs to do but no actual band lol. he knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do and what sound he wanted.
john paul jones found out and rang jimmy, they were top session guitarists in the early/mid 60s so jimmy said yes.
jimmy wanted terry reed on vocals but he was busy, he suggested jimmy check out a kid (19!) called robert plant, they met and got on great. robert then said you NEED to hear my mate john bonham hes a great drummer (20 years old too)
when the 4 of them 1st met none of them knew what to play (they ended up doing train kept a rollin which 3 of them didnt actually know lol) according to them the room just exploded when they 1st jammed together and they all knew instantly they were good and VERY powerful.
thats the short version
Can’t wait for you to do the live version!!✌️
Jimmy Page was a well sought after studio musician so he spent a lot of time in studios and learned a lot about production. When he formed Zeppelin he knew what he was looking for and he wanted everyone to stand on their own with nobody standing out as the "one".
I think he succeeded.
This song live at Earls Court, the MAY 25,1975 version is soooo mind blowing. There are other versions from that venue, but the MAY 25th is the best visuals & audio.
I think your ready now for LZ "Achilles Last Stand" all the members are masters of their instruments, will blow your mind! Cant wait to see your reaction!
Since you like drums so much, you need to try ACHILLES LAST STAND and FOOL IN THE RAIN. great reaction again
Nobody’s Fault But Mine
Hey Ari ! Love your video reaction! Thanks for reminding me to stay with H2O! I seem to forget! I've always wondered why, generally generally generally speaking, that beer can be consumed in a setting more than H2o ! A little food for thought! I think Robert Plant was suffering from l laryngitis and while healing from it , he still recorded, in my opinion, the best album out of their entire catalog!!
Trampled Under Foot off this album is sooo good live!!!!
If you love the drums then you'll love Moby Dick 1970 Royal Albert Hall.
Hey Ari Nicole👋nice to meet you!😁I’m a “Led Zeppelinite”like you’ve just become it would seem.😆 I started playing guitar 🎸 when I was fifteen back about the time John Bohnam sadly passed and for all intents and purposes, that was the end of Zeppelin as far as the band was concerned because no one could possibly fill his shoes. Not to mention that him and Robert were best friends and were in a band together when they were discovered by Page and John Paul Jones who were trying to form a new band(guess who🤭)but you were wondering how they all ended up together. Well when Plant and Bohnam were approached by “Jonesy” and Page to get together and see what they could come up with, they got together in a 4’by4’ft. room with all their equipment jammed in there and and lit 🔥 into the old blues classic “Train Kept A Rollin”(which Aerosmith has a classic version of as well) and as soon as they started playing they all started looking around at each other and they just knew they had something special here😳😲😃😁! I just love that story 🤭😆🤣Just thought you might like to know😄Can you imagine sitting in that tiny room listening to that!!!🤯😂😝🤟✌️🫶❤
As far as the headphone effect. I had a 16 track recorder down my basement back in my band days it is what they called panning. You set the knob the in middle while playing. When you mix the song you can play with the Pan knob gently turning it left and right. Jimmy was a master producer.
You are awesome!! you remind of my teen self (I'm 52) First time I heard Black Dog there was no going back to U2, Michael Jackson. lol You have a great appreciation for all the band members and you understand their connection to one another. Jimmy Page started my love for Les Paul sound, my fave guitarist. Please do a reaction to 'Nobody' Fault But Mine' ..John Bonham OWN's that song. Powerful. Your reviews are authentic like Led Zeppelin! Keep 'em coming!
This entire double album is incredible. There is more deversity on it than some bands have ever put out. 🙂
Led Zeppelin are my favourite band of all time, and your reactions to them are the best by far ❤ Have you heard any Pink Floyd yet? I've seen you haven't reacted to any yet, I would love to see you react to them... I would suggest 'Comfortably numb' from the Pulse concert, or 'Time' 'Wish you were here" 'Have a Cigar' there are loads to choose from... they are my second favourite band ever, I would love to see what you react to Pink Floyd... BTW its my 60th birthday today... go on, for an old man.. 🤣🤣
“I only wanted to have some fun…”
Definitely check out the live Earl’s Court version, epic!! th-cam.com/video/xTrQ7vUZsIo/w-d-xo.html
If you really wanna see crazy drum 🥁 playing watch Achilles last stand live knebworth 1979 led Zeppelin
Bonzo didn't use sticks. He used the Hammer of Thor.
GOATS! Don’t listen to those studio nerds. The first time you hear this song, it should be live. You’ll kick yourself when you watch it! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥P.S. I wonder if the studio nerds watch the movie, then read the book? Just askin🤷🏻♂️
lol Bonhams scared the crap out of me many times too
Stormy got beautiful eyes! Hair is nice...nice to see you do more Zeppelin. I would like to recommend All of my love. That song is very popular but not reacted to much. Robert Plant dedicated that song for his son who died at age 5 while he was on tour. Such a cool song
Led Zeppelin doesn’t feel like some distant, out of reach band. You feel like you’re right there with them, where nothing can ever go wrong!
Jimmy was a studio guitarist at the time and he already knew the other members he wanted to create Led Zeppelin with. Zeppelin was started by Jimmy Page.
Love this track absolutely pinnacle of page/plant.. let's rock n roll next IMMIGRANT SONG studio version.
5k this is a man’s world 🙏🏻 great reaction
You have great taste in music if love and appreciate LZ. One of the few bands in history you could put every song of theirs on a dart board. Throw the dart and you will love the song it hits. I love your reactions
*Ari* ....... had to add a second comment. Going to narrow the focus.! PLEASE check out, specifically, Goin to California.!!! Personally I would do the LIVE version at *Earls Court 1975* but.... The Studio version off their acoustic album, Led Zeppelin 3 works nicely to.! It's a short song and you'll notice the absence of one members playing. But...... I've ALWAYS loved that song and I think you will to.! OK.... enuff from me today. Take Care
Physical Graffiti is my "deserted island" album. I'm 58 and enjoy listening to damn near anything put in front of me. This is by far my favorite album of all time. One of the main things I love about it is it's an absolute tour de force by John Bonham. A masterpiece in every way.
Maybe my favorite Zeppelin song of all time. Or maybe Kashmir. Regardless, an absolute classic!
Jimmy Page brought everybody together! Page had a vision and made it! And John Bonham has too writing credits for this song!
I always figured if you knew the studio version then you can spot what the changes and additions are. BTW it really was destiny just like Black Sabbath. You nailed the reaction, I hope you come back and do more because you obviously love music and have good insights and ear for it. John owned this song for sure. What's funny is Jimmy already knew JPJ and they were looking to get Terry Reid to be the singer for the new band, he didn't want the gig but suggested they check out Robert Plant who was friends with John Bonham already and whom nobody wanted to play with "because he played too loud" can you imagine the GOAT unwanted? I would suggest "When the levee breaks"
Not only do you have great taste and great musical insight, but you are unbelievably beautiful. ✌🏻
Jimmy Page first appeared on the BBC at 14 with his first band that specialized in skiffle. You can find it on TH-cam, kinda of like an Ed Sullivan show. The host asks him what wants to do, and he says be a biologist. I find that odd the greatest guitar player ever has a guitar around his neck on TV at 14 and doesn realize he is destined to be the best Eve to draw breath.
Ari if you liked Since I’ve been Loving you Zep has another song with the same flavor but different it’s Tea for One. I call it the older sister to Since I’ve Loving you.
Check out Zeppelin's awesome tune (studio version) called "In The Light". So beautiful!
So happy you loved the song and I will stay hydrated!
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page where at a cottage and Jimmy picked up John Paul Jones mandolin and they made the Battle of Evermore on the spot. It’s polished up on the studio record but they wrote it in minutes. That’s one that you should listen to it is totally different from anything you have listen to so far
The story of Led Zeppelin and how they became what they became (:. The story starts with Jimmy Page who before 1968 which was the official forming of LZ (: . Several years earlier Jimmy was a session guitar player who was playing or doing guitar sessions or guitar work for The Who and many famous Artists back then (:. Now take into consideration that Jimmy was playing guitar since he was really young inspired by the music of his time (:. But as a session player he learned so much about how too record produce all of it and even played along other session players like John Paul Jones who knew how too play everything from guitars acoustic and otherwise and keyboards organs bass all of it and extremely well but often in Led Zep didn't get much credit for his contributions or wasn't .mention as much as the other three (:. But his wizardry was obvious a main part of Led Zep (:. But not too stray away from the story Jimmy finally did all he could in session playing and decided too break on his own and maybe join a group or eventually put one group together (:. His friend and manager at the time Peter Grant referred too him a great group who was already pretty big at the time (:. The Yard Birds but we're having problems with a member or there members in this case one member who was already begining too leave the group (: Guitarist Jeff Beck (:. Why he left I really not sure something too do maybe with his girlfriend or the fact Jimmy Hendrix was the Ultimate Guitarist at the time and Nobody but Nobody could match him not even Beck or Eric Clapton another great guitarist who might have played for the Yard Birds but definitely played for another great group Cream were he met and was introduced too Hendrix and his Larger Than Life Guitar God Skills (:. And I think he became his friend as well as Beck and Page who also could match Hendrix's but you name it Nobody could match him but everybody was his friend (: Hendrix was The Shit Then And Forever (:. But let me not stray Anyway Jimmy was invited too play for the Yard Birds and played with them for several gigs until finally the whole band broke apart and eventually left control of the name and music of the band too Jimmy (:. Then jimmy went looking for members too fill in the spots for a band or super band (:. He first got John Paul Jones who like Jimmy was already a Wizard on the guitar as well as every other instrument and had played with Jimmy so the knew each pretty well (:. Then Jimmy heard about this singer called Robert plant who was a tremendous Soul and Rythm and Blues Singer and decided too check him out (:. Now Robert plant had been playing in alot of bands when he met for the first time John Bonham a Phenomonal drummer at the time and already considered the very best in most of England (:. John went up too Robert and and told him your pretty good but you would be way better if you had me playing drums for you (:. Robert at the time finding that comment comical but interesting was seduced and then John became the Drummer for Roberts group can't remember the name (:. Now John before Meeting Robert had played with several groups and was beating pots and pans since he was a kid was just a beast from birth on the drums who as he acquired more knowledge and playing time became the loudest and absolute best drummer in his home town and most of England literally born too play the drums probably in my opinion the only equivalent too Hendrix's with John like Hendrix's was a God but only difference John played the drums and Hendrix's guitar (:. So like I said John played with Robert and they became good friends (:. Now Jimmy was still trying too put other members in the group with members of The Who (:. I think one of them heard about the band and thought that Jimmy was crazy and would never create a super group (:. Then he laughed and said it would fall out of the sky and come crashing down and burn like a Led Zeppelin (:. Which is another term for those Big Flying Bimps that fly over football stadiums probably Good Year (:. But back then not too perfected really bad ones (:. So Jimmy inspired by the name took it and used it and went too see Robert who when he heard him had too have him in the band and they became good friends Robert then introduced him too John and the band was formed (:. They played for the first time and saw they had the power and the electricity too create music that has never been heard for before ever (:. Most of them were very big fans of Rythm and Blues Players from the past and had middle Eastern influences as well as other musical mediums (:. And decided too mesh and create there experimental sound (:. At first the band was introduced as The New Yard Birds until that contract was forfilled for the last tour dates that hey played as that band and then finally they were officially Led Zeppelin and played the first time in 1968 in some school or university and blew the crowd away Blew Atlantic Records Away who signed them immediately and gave them complete creativity of there music which back then most artists couldn't really get ever (:. There Manager Peter Grant made sure they got paid and properly without the record company or venue owners ripping them off and make sure there ability too create was not disturbed and intact (:. So like I said as The Mighty LED ZEPPELIN they not only blew everyone away with there sound and power and musicality but No one wanted too open or close for them PERIOD in live shows (:. They were that great (:. 4 Musical Musicians that were already Masters before they formed Zeppelin and just became Musical God Like Titans who for 12 years in there career were Unmatched Untouched and literally created about 9 maybe 10 albums with some of the ABSOLUTE Best Music Ever Created PERIOD (: A body of musical FIRE GENIUS and Pure BLISS (:. But unfortunately in 1980 when John died it was a very hard loss and the band had too quit (:. Then Jimmy took it upon himself too preserve the ongoing Legacy of LED ZEPPELIN (: Which am happy too say it still alive and well and stronger than ever today and will always be (: Oh I almost forgot what truly made them LED ZEPPELIN and above the rest wasn't just there knowledge of the music but there uncanny ability too create and make up stuff on the spot when they were live on stage playing (:. Which was always different with every song and every concert (: They broke records and set them as well also played 3hour concerts opening and closing for themselves because as I said Nobody wanted too suffer the embarrassment of opening or closing a concert because there just wasn't anyone back then or ever that could match them PERIOD (:. INFINITE FIRENESS GREATNESS they were and still are (: But it started with Jimmy Page who wanted too create music that would change the world and found lightening in a box composed of The Greatest Goats Musicians ever too exist on this planet and the known UNIVERSE PERIOD (: And that's the story of LZ (: Oh I almost forgot Jimmy also produced and arranged all there albums each song which is also why all there music sounds beyond PERFECTION PERIOD (: Now if there were bands that came close or could match in my opinion I only know of two (:. Both Super Groups (:. Which means like Led Zeppelin they could do anything musically period with Absolute GREATNESS (:. These two are Pink Floyd and Queen (:. And that's pretty much it (:. Nobody else (:. You can check out there music also you will lol them too (:. Because both of them took learned and were inspired in some form by Led Zeppelin and members of those bands openly admitted too it (:. So Yeah Led Zeppelin is just everything PERIOD (:.
Love me some slide blues. This song comes from here in Miss'ippi, in the late 1920s. "Jesus - meet me in the air. If my wings should fail me... meet me with another pair." (Jesus, Make Up My Dyin' Bed). Yep, it's almost a hundred years old!
That's the thunder that came out of nowhere
If you really like drums , check out the song "Moby Dick" studio runs like 04:19 but their 1973 live version runs 14 minutes+
❤️ your reaction
Okay, this was a fun reaction. Thank you.; )
Ari Robert Plant has a new album out with Allison Krause at 74 years old
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to this song LIVE AT EARL'S COURT 1975
BEST ROCK PERFORMANCE EVER!!!!!!
LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER WATCHING THIS ART LIVE!!!
Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe live at Monterey Pop will blow you away!!! His first concert in the US with the Experience. Most say he's better than Jimmy Page so decide for yourself😀😀😀
Subscribers are rising. YAY!
I recommend gallows pole and bron-y-aur stomp from their 3rd album not often reacted too and some of my favourites.
PLEASE REACT TO HOW MANY MORE TIMES BY LED ZEPPELIN LIVE.
They are perfect and you nail it 1000% There are very few bands that have this perfection...very few. You have met Pink Floyd and the others ( if you make the journey) you will find them.
The studio version is so clean, glad you’re doing that one. Beautiful kitty!
You’re a dope! Do you watch the movie before you read the book?🤨🤷🏻♂️
Led Zeppelin is a way of life! The perfect next song for you is Kashmir- live at Knebworth!
Robert Plant and John Bonham were mates in the Birmingham, North country England area. Jimmy Page commissioned Robert and Robert suggested his old mate John Bonham for Jimmy's band.
You have a talent in at the very least in explaining what you are hearing. Song structure and melodies you can envision the processes. Don't concern yourself with the technical terms (unless you want to go further), right now, just enjoy. Good for YOU! Great Vid, Thanks!
You're adorable and love your reaction to this masterpiece :)
Fantastic Song,Stunningly gorgeous Woman JAMMING to Da' ZEPPELIN!! WHAT GOD DID I PLEASE?!!!🥰
Since I know you love live performances better than studio tracks, I highly suggest watching LZ perform Kashmir, live at celebration day, it was a one-off reunion concert in 2007... It will blow your mind for the reason that they are much older (32 years since that song was originally released) and how Jason Bonham kills it on drums to make his late dad John a proud papa.
A must watch for any LZ fan.
here's the link: th-cam.com/video/PD-MdiUm1_Y/w-d-xo.html
The headphone effect is called panning.
LOL! No effects! BITD they had reverb, delay and real talent! Great reaction! You get it! Wondering how you feel about Pink Floyd and Steely Dan?
Jimmy's guitar is causing the 'fading', the side-to-side effect, I think.
Check out In my time of dying 1975 Earls Court Live Great .... Bonzo a Beast
