Couldn't agree more.
This one and Kashmir
Look STUPID U R SPAM @youtubecreators Remove This NONSENSE 🤔🤫
The percussion and the harmonica ... Oh my... A British band nails American blues history again.
This song is about the flood that made all the blues men move from the delta to Chicago. Straight up history
❤
What year was that?
Got it 1927 Mississippi River Flood in Louisiana most likely.
The blew a levee to save NOLA & flooded out black sharecroppers. The lyrics involving "mountain man" always confused me. I thought it was a different flood in a different place. Ain't no "mountains" in Louisiana...been there.
Every single member of this band is an Apex Predator at his instrument.
I don't know about anyone else, but out of all of Led Zep's songs this is my absolute favorite one. I just love the driving yet haunting beat and tempo of this song.
Same. Too bad it was the least live-friendly song they had. A true studio song.
Same here but there are so many great Zep tunes
Same here
Same here too.
Totally agree! Hits you right in the chest!
That intro is a masterpiece.
Led Zeppelin has always been a breath of fresh air in music, no matter what time or space ... always
Yes indeed!!!
And the outro too
There is none better, imo. Bonzo on drums and Robert on harmonica is genius
I don't know why, but the intro gives me CHILLS
i know why😉
Very poignant music like no other song I've ever heard and I'm almost 70 years old. This song got me through the 70s.
It's because this song is straight epic
I get it because of the cosmic value that holds across your whole life of what truth is in your heart and spirit.
The levee is about to explode
Led Zeppelin isn't just a Rock Band... It's an Experience!
Led Zeppelin Still Rules 2020
zeppelin is great but jimi was the experience
Still going 2022🎶❣️
It truely isn’t bro,It’s art in its purest form
He'll yes 2022!!
@@dizzug4058 Totally different "experience", my friend 😉❣
Genius song. As hard-core as it gets. Truly Genius. Not just anyone could write this stuff.
Written by Memphis Minnie
Ignorance at its finest.
NOT written by anyone in Led Zeppelin.
There are very few things that can beat getting high and listening to Led Zeppelin
LIVING WITH, ALIVE… IN THE PRESENCE; OF GOD, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST… BEATS ALL, AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, MY CHILD!

HERE IT IS
I would like for you disapprove facts. 1.Time travel is possible but you have to go faster that light ..
2 E=mc2 is the formula for releasing the power of the sun
3 what holds matter together is the fact that atoms are alive and communicate like ants do building bridges and working together.. and with out asking us if it ok .. so do atoms.. life just not what you were taught life was . Not different just different from what you have seen.. every atom is alive ..seen them would you like to see..
4. H2O water truly one of the most flammable things on the planet.. in the tempature of the sun..
5 fission and fusion are chain reaction one split one bonds both move at super high speed uh like the speed light eight ..and if they are closer to us than our own sun the the timw to travel the distance is shorter right.. you know were i going dont you .. tou just time traveled the biggest chain reaction ever the little poof we see iss nothing compared to the eaeth you just sat on fire in the future like a fire star if the water atoms split thwn you have your hydrogen and oxygen fuel the next star .. were ar catching up with it i can prove it .. my world on fire how about your ole einstein left that part out .. now what are we to do..that also for the spritual part of everyone theirs your lake of fire and the need for that new earth... i got way more how about if time space is a clock or wheel as a description that would be why we never find a mediator in any of the holes we think killed the dinosaur s when it jumped time it went both way simultaneously ao on each end of the wheel it on fire more less making a complete circle again that is why we catch up with it
Drums recorded in a stairwell with two mics.
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd the two best bands ever ! Thank You England....
Thank you. Signed: The Beatles
Ursula Golda Beatles were Ok but not on the same level as Zeppelin and Floyd ! Sorry at least not in my book..... 😂
Ken Bray Led Zeppelin is an American band despite the members country of origin 👍
@@AlphaWolf818 made their money here and went back to England.
Best song ever... especially w this grim pandemic
Plant on Harmonica shows his skill!
Yeah! ✌️✌️✌️
The Harmonica gets over looked in this song yes Plant kills it with the Harp !!!! From a die Hard RUSH FAN RIP BONHAM AND PEART !!!!
If I was told I could only listen to one band the rest of my life Led Zepplin would be it.
for me as well
I told my family I would never go to an old folks home unless they had the full catalogue of Led Zep. Snicker.
I already do. I use Pandora and just select their albums to play. Get done with one and I go to the bottom of the list and pick another. I'll never get tired of it.
Absolutely
Consider myself blessed that I was in my mid to late teens from 1968 through 1973! And not in a small way because of the music!
I was in college in 2010 when i started listening to led zepp. I'm from India. Led zepp is benchmark for me to any gateway western music. Today's edm lovers have a lot to learn from them. Btw my doggo's name is zeppelin.
22
And some of Zeps music is inspired by traditional eastern music
Cool
Kashmir 🚬🥃
Look into GFR /GRAND FUNK RAILROAD of same era. TNUC💋? drum solo, & many other's. Also INAGADADAVIDA 🥢17m Solo!
Thank you Mr. John Bonham. Your the reason I got in to Led Zeppelin. Love that heavy sound.
Got taught 🎸 as a youngster but I think 🤔 I'm a drummer, I need 2 learn from the masters, John Bonham being 1.
Keef's got his head up his ass.
One of their best songs
David Groll-Cook Thanks for your in depth analysis.
Невозможно просто словами выразить величие этой группы и этой композиции от которого пьянеешь как от вина столетней выдержки !!!
Это вечный кайф !!!
Потрясающе !!!
The absolute beauty of Music!!!!
I'm from Louisiana. This song has a whole different meaning to me, my family and friends. Tomorrow is 16 years since Katrina hit town and now we got Ida on the way.
So as a person below me said this intro gives her chills it gives me chills for a whole nother reason.
Here for Ida. Already reports of levees breaking. And the eye of the storm just made it ashore. Stay safe!
I am wishing you the best. Take care.
You should have went to Chicago.
Crying won’t help ya , begging won’t do you no good, when the levy breaks mama you got to move.
Wow living in high plains , I have no idea how it is with that much water. That area had been dodging the bullet for many years. A lake higher than the city ?
This music transcends thru time
A great song that's still around today.one of the most bad ass songs by, Zepp. Cover band Zepperella does an outstanding job on this classic.The boys would be proud. The way remakes should be.
An old blues classic turned into a rock and roll classic.
I like to think of this as more blues rock than straight rock n roll
As of about 10 years ago Stairway had grossed over $660 million . One song played more than any other on the planet . That's 2/3rds of a billion dollars. When the dollar was worth something
John drove this song home!
SUPERB, saw them play this in 1972, love it !
How was it? I bet you that it was a completely crazy thing, wasn't it? ^_^
It must be such an amazing experience!
LUCKY!
My God you were really very very lucky!!! ❤️
I saw them in Albuquerque.
LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER, FOREVER LED ZEPPELIN.GREATEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC.👍👍
Still rocking in 2020 in Brazil!! Anyone out there?? X x
Teresa Walters yamo
Right here in Ohio .. July 2020
Right here from Kampen... The Netherlands (Holland/Amsterdam)
Rockin in Brazil right now!!!
India, March 2024, 14 years old, Zeppelin is life.
The absolute pinnacle of rock n roll
Led Zeppelin might be the best cover band of all time.
Tribute band please 😂
This is why I don't pay much attention to the lyrics of rock songs. No what you say but how you say it. Led Zeppelin is all about style and atmosphere.
Thank you England for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, Rolling Stones, and The Beatles!!! Also thank you for ACDC even though they were formed in Australia! But the members are from the UK so yeah lol
Hey well put mate, and I love 'em all too, but can we sneak Carlos Santana and Stevie Ray Vaughn in there ?..."jfe austin
Porcupine tree ?
jfelect4 Edwuardo Sure thing brother !
SADHU SARKAR Yeah we can include them too !!!
@@nikkiboy731 thank you for that.. And that's how it all started... Oh, and I'll raise you Eric Clapton just because...
I don't always listen to Led Zeppelin but when I do it's down by the Levee in Kashmir with my Black Dog by the Ocean
Hurricanes Ida and Katrina brought me here.
All John Bonham here, all John Bonham
Cryin' won't help ya
Prayin' won't do ya no good
Merka 2019......
2020!
INSANE TRACK ... WHAT A HARMONICA MELODY ON GOING !............................
love listening to their version. outstanding.
Levee's about to BURST🇺🇸⚔️🇺🇸💥💥💥
Too many great songs by zeplin to choose a favorite, I'll say top 10.
Bonzo's last recording Thats Eff'n Big time 🎉❤
Damn this is their best song by far. Pure rock n roll. 🎼☕️🦅🇺🇸🙏
Omg how I love this song!! Just can't stop listening over and over once I hear it again!🤣🤣😍
Still wonderful after all these years....one of a kind song....there is nothing like it....or even close....the Ultimate Zep experience
Kashmir is the greatest rock song in history. The best concert ( Albuquerque) I've ever seen. A friend that I went with still has his ticket stub. I think the price was $12 ?
His thundering drums make any passing storm pause and take notice.
The feeling when listening it is great ... an indescriptible emotion, but you know, the song is literal, but amazingly metaphoric too ...
It was written in the late 1920's.

Led Zeppelin is, by far, my most favorite band. Jimmy, Robert, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones are, to this day, the best British invasion since the Beatles.
JIMMY PAGE
Honestly, comparing LZ to the Beatles is like comparing Mylie Cyris to Iggy Pop....
Sorry pal, you can't compare rock bands to boy bands. Zep rules.
I am a huge fan of the white album 1968 rock ! Lisa Ann fan
The most sampled drum sound in the whole of music.
Hypnotic.... Fantastic all these decades later
I want this to be played at my funeral! With head phones!
7:03 that final riff 🤘🤘🤘
Damn what a song everyone this their is best song by far. Pure rock n roll. 🎼☕️🦅🇺🇸🙏
My hat's off to "The Mighty, Mighty LED ZEPPELIN"...I honestly believe Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy would be Proud. 🧡
A band at it's peak. This song give me the feels. Wow!
One of the best bands in the world
Their music never gets old.
True that but at 70 I do..still have great memories of seeing them at Madison Square Garden. I thought Plant was a god!
My favorite by Zeppelin 🥰
To me the best parts of this song are the intro, the middle, the outro...and everything in between.
There is literally not one bad Zeppelin Song!
This is a cover surprisingly
poop True. Memphis Minnie recorded it, if memory serves. But with all due respect to the earlier version, this interpretation kicks big-time ass.
no1nestandsalone Zeppelin doesn't have any bad songs ! Now you go stand alone in the corner.....
@@modernmilner9836 Totally agree
@@DChappelle27 lyrics sure but nowhere sounds like the original. If anything zeppelin is know for music than lyrics so ppl don't care if it's taken from blues.
Best rock band of all time. Hands down.
Because your listening to the dead gratefull dead I thought it was zeppelin it is .Top charts playing for the Lord on high
Rocking blues at its best
Robert Plant great vocalist, Bonham awesome drummer. The entire band Rocks, wish could have seen them play in the 70's
Theses MF's were the best band and still are!!!!
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I also love Thank You from the Zep.
Uma das melhores introduções de todos os tempos. Essa batera, e a gaita....arrepia!
"If it keeps on raining" (corruption everywhere) "the levees going to break" (tipping point)
Led zeppelin is awesome
A MASTERPIECE!
My absolute favorite. This song, to me, represents my life in high school.
Awesome song just inspires me even more
Thank you for the lyrics.
I have always loved the bluesy sound of that song.
You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it!
O peso desse som eleva a uma dimensão imensurável!!!
O desejo de colocar num volume ensurdecedor!
Because mutiny on the Bounty is what we're all about! The fact that Zep never pursued Beastie Boys for sampling them says alot about how they respected each others music mutually. That's how it should be 🙏 BTW, one of the all time drum beats....thank you Mr. Bonham 🙌 All last night, sat on the levee and moaned, thinking about my baby and happy home. When I'm rhymin and stealin 🙏
The best guitar player probably
"Crying won't help ya, praying won't do ya know good."
Isn't that the the truth when disaster catches us off guard.
Who still jamming this song in 2035?
a masterpiece
“Since I’ve been loving” you is still the very best of them😇😇
John Bonham knew what to play and how to. He wasn't flashy when he didn't need to be and was when it was called for. The whole group did.
Led Zeppelin will rock on forever..
I used to walk in slow motion to this song between classes in high school lol
Это их эталон .супер забойная композиция
That song is something else
I love this rock and roll and i think that i'm gonna listen to it again i like the quality of Led Zeppelin
Just finished (for the 2nd time) "The Big Short" re: the big market crash of '08.
It's so funny & appropriate that the movie concludes w/ Led Zep's
"When the Levee Breaks" (my fave song of all time).
It's no coincidence that Bitcoin was published soon after in '09.
In Bitcoin we are experiencing a Mathematic/Computer Science/Finance revolution.
Never gets old.
The GOAT
👍 Great song!
CEREBRAL ! THE BEST ZEPPELIN MUSIC !
Dear, your feeling is know as "aperture", not everybody is able to feel it ...
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks, I'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Lord
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down south
They got no work to do
If you're going down to Chicago
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
No, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home
Ah-oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Goin'
I'm goin' to Chicago
Goin' to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you, ahhh
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down now
Goin' down, goin' down-down-down-down-down
This b sides song is soooo underrated. Never hear it on the radio. God bless Pandora and youtube
As someone commented a parody of this great song years ago, "If she keeps on squeezin' the rubber's gonna break." 🤣
@Pamela Paradise meowwwww! 😉
@Pamela Paradise just remember what he can do back
@Pamela Paradise wow, you just freaking toasted him
@Pamela Paradise wait, who is he
@Pamela Paradise my bad, i was just joking
Love,love,love this song,💗💞💓
One of my favs
in 1977... to Mark Moran, Billy Smilth and countless others, We sat in delaware while other made a beer run in New Jersey and back when the drninking age was 18. I remember waiting on the the beer while listening to this song. In 2021, I know listen to this song for the many riffs....
Thank you
The crisis of “When The Levee Breaks” becomes even sharper as 2022 approaches.
Or 2023 in California right now.
All I can think of whenever I hear this song is Hurricane Katrina back in 2005...so haunting
