I love how Plant playing the harmonica throws so many people. His harmonica work is so good in this song its unreal, he makes it scream, moan and cry, doesnt get any better.
Plants harmonica makes a mountain man leave his home.
Agree 100%. His harmonica playing makes audible and/or underlines the fear, the anguish, helplessness of the people's situation re. the flood. And just technically: epic harmonica playing.
💙💙💙💙💙💙
Allmost like Tyler
he’s playing the guitar, that’s why it’s screaming and moaning and crying, there actually isn’t a harmonica in the song it’s actually the electric guitar and there’s a metal pipe on the finger
I laughed so hard when you said last time you heard harmonica was Spongebob. Robert Plant the lead singer plays that bad boy harmonica.
Willie Nelson's harmonica player, The Devil. Pretty dang fine. This guy just doesnt' know music.
advantager355 I think Robert Plant is playing it
@@earldeanpowell Umm, what?
🤣🤣🤣 lost it
@@AntisocialSka1 Robert Plant played
harmonica (harp). Had to look it up.
en.citizendium.org/wiki/When_the_Levee_Breaks_(Led_Zeppelin_song)#Overview . Long review on link. Goes into a lot of detail. Had no Idea Plant was that good. Those guys came from a blues background tho and there is a lot of harp in that music genre.
"I don't care if that's not a harmonica, it's a harmonica today!" Well, I suppose that there is no arguing with that.
Word lol
@Leon Anderson Then it was a harmonica twice today!
That's pages guitar
This is real blues. It is full of pain. It’s about the 1927 Mississippi River flood. They dynamited the levees to save Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Flooded and destroyed the rural south. Killed hundreds of people, caused the breakup of thousands of black families as the men had to leave for big northern cities to find work. This song is a cover that Zeppelin reworked and made their own. Drums on this had a heavy influence on Hip Hop.
“These boys can’t make a bad song”
Yeah thats true.
“I dunno whatchy’all put in the water in London..” lmfao 😂 my guy
That's my favourite thing by the Zep, if anyone 'd asks me to tell them my top 10 songs, I would put only Led Zep songs in it...
It"s true, I never heard a single bad song by Led Zeppelin
It was called acid, lol trust me you had to be there.
Memphis Minnie wrote the lyrics back in the day. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, & John Bonham touched that shit... Robert Plant is playing harmonica...
Saim // hats off to Roy Harper is the only one I can’t listen to
It warms my heart when a member of the "younger generation" discovers Led Zeppelin - Rock on man!
Robert Plant:Vocals, Harmonica
Jimmy Page: Guitars
John Paul Jones: Bass Guitar, Keyboards
John Bonham: Drums
Led Zeppelin: Super Bad Ass
Andrew Schultz damn right n still remember til this day when my dad came home, I’m 8, it’s late n he puts on zep, says “son you’re about to listen to the greatest rock band ever” levee breaks starts 😉🤘
thank you, captain obvious.
@@Vb98765, you needed the lesson.
@@ICLight412, your Dad taught you well.
Andrew Schultz Best Band Ever! Geniuses!❤️
This guy needs to time travel back to the 70's to be Robert Plant's hype man.
"John B's what I'm here for" Smart guy, he was the most talented musician in the band, which is saying something. "Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good" Memphis Minnie and her husband wrote this song and they were tough alright.
Honestly
But then who would be Eminem's hype man?
Since when does Plant need a hype man?? 😂 Robert Plant and Zep was the most hype band on planet Earth, by themselves lol
This guy is cracking me up. 😂😂😂
That's Robert Plant beasting on the harmonica! Goes back and fourth from incredible vocals to crazy harmonica playing.
YUP
Multi-track recording!!! Led Zeppelin used this technology often and made awesome songs because of it!!!
I'm 70 years young, but get lonely rocking out alone. Now I gots me a rock out partner ! Thank YOU No Life Shaq !! You can really dig it ! Makin' me smile and SMH.....
I love your comment. I'm 52 and rockin out as well. Zeppelin is ageless... Where one is all and all is one
Right???? I love Shaq! He gets it. Music is the best experience hands down. Sixty years young here, I'm still rocking
57 and right there with ya😀😀❤
Isn’t it a joy watching him discover these geniuses! I am so happy I found these videos.
38 here and rocking it like no other.
it's beautiful to see Shaq's reaction to these legends.
It's almost fifty years since this record was released and it's still one of the best ever. Those of us who were around at the time didn't know we were living through a golden age.
We loved it
True that
Amen to that!
Absolutely spot on - what times they were.
Didn't know we were so lucky to have such talent in those days. It was just music.
Experiencing these songs for the first time(again), through someone else's eyes/ears, is such an enjoyable experience. It makes one feel those same magical feelings all over again.
You know another great part of the song is coming up, you anticipate it, and then you see it in his face as it washes over.
Kudos to you @No Life Shaq
Yes, they get it!
It's like hearing these songs again for the first time.
@Lucas Magee Same.
Oh I agree.. when i went to prison and played in a band the best part was watching these guys who have never heard any of this music before, show up sit down and close their eyes and bang their heads to what they were listening to
Yes his reaction to war pigs is the greatest and i was a rap fan during 90’s still am of the 90’s era and select few today. But when I heard zeppelin, and sabbath for the first time change my life forever
That was A Harmonica Shaq!! It was Robert Plant , he's got the voice, and he can GO OFF on that Harmonica Bro!!🎼
I never knew that!! Thanks for the info!!!
Lee McIntyre mick jagger no slouch on the harmonica either 👌
Lee McIntyre didn’t they loop this backwards or something so the “ echo” was at the front or something?
@@cherrymcgregor535 It was done with echo , but the "Loop" effect was accidental!! Same thing happened with "Whole Lotta Love"!🎶
The echo was an accident that they feel in love when they were bouncing down tracks on a multi track reel-to-reel. It's called the "E.R.P." effect from them having multiple heads ( Erase, Record, Playback). I used to use it in the production studios back in the late 80s.
Naturally, they made it work better than me. lol
The fact you go from Joyner & Logic to Led Zeppelin 🙌😍
great!! Love both and not many people will react to music that so different
the wonderful about this channel and couch
Big facts lol
That's a true music fan right there lol. I do that alot lol
Oh yeah
"I don't care if it's not a harmonica, it's a harmonica today!" 😂😂😂lmao that's the best Shaq quote I've heard
Should listen to Tom Petty don't know how it feels for more harmonica
@@dallasbroders5609 I love that one too~
Last time I heard a harmonica was on sponge bob 😂
Harmonica brought to you by Robert Plant in this instance.
I'm literally LOL at it!
"That's quite different". That's the genius of Led Zeppelin! Love 'em, love 'em
That stank face in the beginning set it all up for me! "What is that sound?" The sound of Greatness...The Hammer of the Gods, my dude. Welcome to it! 🤣🤘🏼
Has he done the Immigrant Song yet?
This guys facial expressions are second to none
@@michaelt3308 that's Robert plant on the Harper dude
That my friend is the filthiest blues you’ll ever hear.. a masterpiece 🤘😎
I don't know man, In My Time Of Dying is pretty filthy
Oh yeah man it is filthy. It's stanky and I LOVE IT!!!
ehhhh, dont leave BB out of that conversation.....The thrill is gone is up there with it
Led Zeppelin = Blues+
also try Buddy Guy - Baby Please Don't Leave Me
Wow what reaction I'm 57 and haven't had this much fun in a long time thank you my friend.
Roland J Gutierrez - Same here, brother. 57 and getting all jacked up that ‘our’ music is being rediscovered.
wished i lived in that time. i only know one other person my age that listens to that kind of music besides me
I have just discovered this channel. It's like living my teenage years all over. I love his reactions!!
You should see him react to Drowning Pool.
do yourself a favor and watch his reaction to Freebird. it's his best reaction and it drew me to his channel where i hang out every day. DA'S TUFF
The Harmonica is seriously one of the most underrated musicial instruments in the world
This is a cover of a 1929 song by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. its about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927!
Sure is.
Memphis Minnie was a queen
Damn, nice job... you're exactly right
th-cam.com/video/swhEa8vuP6U/w-d-xo.html
I remember learning about it during a college history course.
You have to hear in In my Time of Dying or Since I've been loving you by Led Zeppelin... they'll blow you away coach
I wish he did bro Jimmy Paige destroys that track with his 🎸
How about ten years gone???????
yes... and the guy who said ten years gone... another amazing song.
Since I've Been Loving You is one of Page's best solos.
Bro dont blow his mind like that
Louisiana bayou swamp blues from a British rock band. Pretty cool
truth! 100% swamp sound. I think Robert Plant was a blues singer when he et the other members of the band. It's obvious he studied blues music. And Jon Bonham (the drummer) was a jazz drummer. Their sonic roots go right back to the Black American artforms.
That blues filter is broken and I'm cool with it
Yes...the best thing that ever happened..!!
Bayou swamp blues... you nailed that!
It gets dirty quick! My #2 Zep song. #1 is black dog.
How sick and dark and bluesy is Robert Plant's harmonica in that intro?! Then it hits hard into those lyrics, and Bonham's drums are SIIIIIICK. Amazing song!
It was a harmonica and jimmy page used a backward echo technique to put the echo ahead of the sound. Musical geniuses and the greatest rock band of all time. Bar none!
.............
Without question! Led Zeppelin is in a class above all others and my solid favorite. Everybody else are just bands.
the whole track was slowed down also, giving it's unique, darker, more stretched sound.
@@ripster9713 yes. They did.
And also they recorded the drums in the hall of a castle, that’s the sound
Also: "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
It’s an old Delta Blues song
Snap, I just posted the same thing and then saw your comment. :)
Thanks for the Info.
Yep , the 70's greats borrowed at times. Why I get Pissed when people say hip hop sampling isn't art.
@@ericpirillo7260 sure it is. Sampling is like DIY home hacks. Taking stuff that's lying around the house you don't use anymore and creating something new and different that people can appreciate. They see it in a different way than most people.
@@davespringer777 yep agreed for the most part
That was Robert Plant, singer, on harmonica. I love Led Zep- 100% pure fire
And Jimmy Page ran it thru an echo.
word. came here to make sure this info was known and bumped up.
Plant and Page had such a unique sound everyone swears they did a deal with the devil for talent and fame.
@@Sco3000 correct, and the whole track was compressed and slowed down.
Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest blues bands ever, and this song proves it. That straight up blues harmonica and drum beat got a hold of you quick.
That's the singer, Robert Plant on the Harmonica, and the great Jimmy Page on guitar!
2cool4u can’t forget Bonham on the drums
And the greatest rock drummer of all, John Bonham
The soul is John Paul Jones...
HE GOT THE BONHAM EXTRA BAR SLIP-INS!!! Omg I knew I loved this guy for a reason
yessssssssssssss
Tup Shaq be catchin all them lil dips in dives lobe this guy!
He is good, got a great ear. Love his real reactions. He reads lyrics to help him understand the music. It's all good, I'm here thumbs up and subbed in.
"The last time I heard somebody play the harmonica was on Spongebob" lololol
I’m picturing Plankton blowing into that harmonica.
That was the great harmonica work of Mr. Robert Plant...the lead singer! And the late great drummer John Bonham had a nickname of Bonzo! I was lucky enough to see them when I was 16 in 1977 on their last North American tour! Love your show!
hahahahaaaha for real comedy..love this shit
Kathy .Brinkley I saw them on that tour too! Did they do the whole green laser light pyramid swirling around Jimmy as he played with the violin bow? I loved that!
Guess he never heard the Junior Wells (Hendrix era) story !!!
You've just discoverd the greatest band in music history. They all just clicked together. Could go off into a 45 minute free-style jam session mid-song, live. Not messing up once & going back into the song they were playing without missing a beat. John Bonham was my influence & who got me playing the drums.
Me too brother.
John Bonham, IMO WAS Led Zeppelin. Them breaking up after his death was an extremely smart move!
@@Touchit1958 you under estimate the rest of them
Yeah...Led Zeppelin "In my time of dying" for sure!
Love the live version of "In my time of dying" it's a song from the deep South of Merica, would you believe.
Love the (live) version of "In my time of dying" it's a song from the deep South of Merica. Would you believe?
I love that Shaq knows who John Bonham is. That is freaking awesome.
Rob Soergel He has no clue who Jimmy Page is though lol
@@noahbrown9708 he does now
Led Zeppelin STEEPED themselves in roots American Blues. They recreated the Blues by combining it with Rock, Heavy Metal and English Folk. AWESOME!
They’ve even used lyrics and title from a song written by delta blues artists from the 20´s (written by Kansas Joe McCoy and sang by memphis Minnie his wife)
Zeppelin is just out of this world....at another level that cannot be measured.... like voodoo...
thank you for this accurate reaction.
Welcome to a “nasty” rhythm section. Bonham is a drumming beast.
Neil Peart is better in my opinion but Bonham is a bad boy too.
Sorry, but Bonham is simply the best along with Buddy Rich.
Stuart Damon Sorry, strongly disagree. Neil was a transitional drummer. He could play a variety of music and notes. Not even close bud.
Levi Rodgers Levi, I have the greatest respect for Neil Peart. I love Rush, Spirit if Radio, and Tom Sawyer. He is one of the best. I’ve seen both of them in concert. (My Ages is showing, lol) However, I have never seen anyone as good as John Bonham. Speed, Power, Creativity, and ability to Extend convinced me.
That said, I respect your opinion and LOVE Neil with all my heart.
Also one of the best.
He is awesome and obviously your best! 👍
God Bless!
Stuart Damon Likewise! 👍
I'm a youngster of 58 years, your reaction warms my soul. My older sister turned me on to Zeppelin when I was a kid. Bless you.
I hate to break it to you but I don't think 58 years old is considered a youngster
@@carlneoh5843 It's called irony mate, you'll get it one day...
I'm a simple man. I see Led Zeppelin and NoShaq, I click.
Damn right!
THIS
I'm a black man and love this jam..since high school.
eaglefly 18 obviously you are a man of taste!
Common Ground, brother.
@@FourTwenT who cares, I just play.
@@FourTwenT me to. As I said, who cares, I just play.
@@FourTwenT I'm aware but he posted 4 months ago. Clearly he didn't respond but when I posted regarding your comment, you replied almost immediately so I responded. I'll just crawl back into my cave then. Stay safe, stay at home, all the best :)
Always said Led Zep was waaaay before their time. Don’t forget this sound is from the 70’s.
That sound is the best bassist, drummer, guitarist, and vocalist on the planet.
Preach it brother!
Amen.
Pretty much. Nailed it.
They don't make em like that anymore. John Bonham? No one else like him. One in a million.
According to Geddy Lee, John Entwhistle is the best bassist of all time. Therefore, Geddy Lee is the best bassist of all time.
Shaq hands down the best reaction channel. His energy and love for all kinds of music. Keep it up bro.
He falls into it 100%
SHAQ WOULD YOU LOOK UP ERIC GALES GIMI MY JIMI FIX AMAZING GUITAR PLAYING BY A BROTHER
Yes ,, you the man shag. We loving you in Lagrange Ga.
Not by a country mile. He’s way behind the others and reviews songs months after the others have already done them.
@@MegaArchiebald Then why are you on his channel?
That opening drum riff is iconic
Beethoven - Symphony Number 9, 2nd Movement
exciting classical music, part of his last and greatest symphony, he wrote it while he was deaf
Great musical piece but watching a reaction would definitely be something new
4th movement is better
Beethoven- Moonlight Senota
@@TheBlackQueen It's too long and I feel like there are more slow / boring parts, but it is very good! I like 2nd Movement better
Thon Bushcraft Slow? Do you not recall the epic high choir hymns of Ode To Joy? Literally one of the greatest moments in music history!
Zeppelin probably has about 50 great songs... enjoy the journey.
Every song of theirs is great.
Shame on both of you
M S who said that?
“You hate Ben so you must love Obama!”
Great logic
M S it’s not a liberal conservative thing. Good people with common sense don’t listen to Shapiro because he promotes fascism and extreme right wing ideology. On top of that, he lacks any sympathy whatsoever. Obama was a war criminal
M S are you kidding? He has repeatedly called for repeal of the ACA, denies climate change, wants to overturn roe vs wade, and has been on record saying he doesn’t care if innocent Muslim civilians are killed in the West Bank by Israeli soldiers. The man is a fascist. Do a little research
Hahahaha! I love this guy! "Even if it's not a harmonica, it's a harmonica today!"
Close your eyes and you can almost hear the rain beating down incessantly,pure musical gold from the greatest band ever!!
And bonham is the thunder
Kashmir by Led Zeppein will change your life.
Hingle Mckringleberry and then listening to the No Quarter release... 🤯
Amen!!!!
"In My Time of Dying" too!
Please Kashmir
Lol no it won’t
HARMONICA courtesy of the singer.. the incomparable Robert Plant ❤
Absolutely
Exactly we were young in them days 💚💜 63 and still in love with Led -Zeplin. 💖
Marie Theresa Hughes Im 56 years old 🤘
Harmonica is double or triple tracked on this. But classic, no complaints!
Brian May called him incomparable in Freddie Mercury tribute concert.
Zeppelin is the Greatest Rock band if ALL time! No question.
cardiac19 I mean Pink Floyd would be in that debate as well
ryan c the counter to Floyd is song vs album. Floyd’s albums are second to none. But they are operas. They tell stories from a start to a finish. Once you take the songs out of the opera not all of them work. They’re still good but not as great. Led is songs. Play any song on its own and almost all are awesome. They don’t need the opera to make them that much better. Example, “Hey you,” great song on its own. But in its place on the album... so much better. Dang, now I don’t know if that made my point or yours. I’ll stick with Zeppelin as the GOAT band and Pink as the GOAT story tellers.
cardiac19 No question! My dad would blare LED Zeppelin Every weekend. His Moto was “ if’s it’s to loud your to old!”
ryan c same with The Rolling Stones
Weeelll, I have to put in an argument for the Dio version of Sabbath.
This is ONE of LED Zeppelin’s master pieces! Whoooooo!
This is my favorite led Zeppelin's song. Led Zeppelin is a masterpiece itself. 🤘🤘🤘
My favorite is Hey Hey What Can I Do.....but this is a very very close 2nd!
Hands down, it’s my number one favorite Zeppelin song.
I FUCKIN LOVE YOU, MAN! LOL!
Mr. Robert Plant on vocals & harmonic!
🔥🔥🔥
Sherry Peters 🔥 is right!!
Walked into work this morning, sat down and seen my favorite reactor was reaction to my favorite song. That's tough
I love how grimy this tune is, it's a grindin kinda grove, it's nasty and pushin....Bonham keeps it pushin like he's the dope man.....
I think if Bonham could speak to us from Heaven he'd say "Keep sampling me, and I'm still drunk."
Word
I agree brother, Bonham bangs it home, liberal
"Kashmir"/ "Since I've Been Loving You" / "Heartbreaker" / " No Quarter" 🔥💥🔥🎸🙏
@Jamie ASHCROFT more cowbells 😅
Bro Heartbreaker is the reason for so many people learning the guitar. Took me years to figure out how he did them dives without a whammy bar.
ya i like the live version of No Quarter from the 2007 Celebration Day reunion concert!! do that one!
Robert Plant on harmonica
I recommend holding off on Kashmir for a bit. May not be ready for it yet. Since I've Been Loving You and In My Time of Dying next. ALSO, TREAT YOURSELF TO MOBY DICK - it is all about John Bonham
I adore watching you experience this great music!! I'd love to see your reaction to Led Zeppelin "Kashmir"!!! Great song!!
Yes needs to do that one!
Only question I have is which version?
@@livinaftermidnight9651 live would be my preference! But I'd take studio too.
@@bobbilowery2975 live is my preferred as well. Jason Bonham does an outstanding job on this song on Celebration Day.
@@livinaftermidnight9651 I totally agree!! He makes his Father proud, if he can see it!! (Not sure how I feel about the after life thing)
Robert Plant vocals and harmonica Jimmy Page guitars John Paul Jones Bass the legendary John (bonzo) Bonham on drums!!!!!!
THE GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME
@@markm1138 Amen.
jon bonham*
@@malificent JOHN Bonham
@@nyrockchicxx John HENRY Bonham !!!
Fun fact: When John Bonham died, the band was like, "Fuck it. We out." and immediately broke up.
But what was Led Zep drinking when they made that song? Mississippi Delta blues water.
They we a cultured, educated band. No way their parting phrase was
“We out”
That's, in essence , what they said, " it over." In 1980, when Bonham died, they had been making albums & touring heavily for 11 years. They had already more than made their mark, the first band to sell more albums than the Beatles, in 1969. And the same lineup the whole time. Like the Beatles, a new member in such an iconic band would have never worked, for the band OR the fans. Cultured as they may have been, Jimmy Page would have considered it high praise, indeed, to say, " we out." Btw, l had some dealings with their road manager, Richard Cole. He was a rascist little bitch, punk ass motherfucker. As it turned out, the band didn't like his punk ass much either. During what would become the film, Song Remains the Same, tens of thousands of dollars were stolen, in cash, out of the hotel safe. Guess who the fuck they suspected... that's right, Richard punk ass Cole.
@@12bar145ne
Surprised Peter Grant (Zeppelins' great manager) didn't break every bone in Cole's body if that's true. Cole worked directly for Grant. Grant was paid 20% of Zeppelin's earnings (by his own admission) out of which he paid Cole out of his own pocket as road manager. Grant was the best manager in the business, had managed The Yardbirds before Zeppelin, which was why he and Jimmy Page were so close, and was one tough mother******. He negotiated, what was for that time, the highest advance ever given a band by a record company with Atlantic records. Zeppelin stayed with Atlantic their entire career.
It’s a cover song 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas bob
Kansas joe
Led Zeppelin are in a class all by themselves! Thank you for reminding us all how good they were!
You would 100% love Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love
Hey guys really. I think it's too early for that ... I mean, he just got crazy about the harmonica in this song. Who explains the Theremin to him? He needs a bit more experience so that his brain does not burst😉
stephenc44 would love it if he did The Rover aswell
I love led Zeppelin... But for some reason I absolutely cannot stand the constantly repeating sound in that song.
It seems to drive me mad.
trampled under foot
Probably heard this song 500 times still fire every single time🔥💯
same.
There are a bunch of people on TH-cam trying to do what you do, Shaq. They all fall short. You are the best. You are equal parts hilarious, insightful, open-minded, smart, and just downright entertaining. Dat's tuff! Love ya, my guy!
And the fact that this song was released in 1971 makes it even more incredible to me.
Mottahead 71 baby 🥰
it really says something of John B's drumming. when a newbie hears it and can tell this guy must be the shit..
Zep didn't write, "When the Levee Breaks". That is why you'll never get a copyright complaint from their studio. It's an old Delta Blues song.
This is one of my favorite reactions of yours. You are truly jamming out and it makes me appreciate this song even more too!
My fave Zeppelin song. Rock was influenced greatly by the Blues and this song is a testament to that. Great reaction as always
Ro Tru when the blues had a baby she called it rock & roll, peace & love
Mine too. The grove in this song is so juicy. So bluesy & soulful!
@@revkenwiz that's exactly it!
As a zep fan from day one, from their first album, this is my favorite song also. OSH :-)
Rock (at least in the beginning) was just blues played by white kids. That's what made it more acceptable to 1950's America. A huge portion of Zeppelin's songs are either covers of, or borrow heavily from pre-existing blues songs. If it wasn't for liking Zeppelin as a teenager I'd have never been inspired to find their influences and appreciate blues artists for what they gave the world. It's also hard to look back and see the way the genres were segregated unfairly and the way black artists were never fully appreciated in their time.
"Recorded it next to a campfire" killed me! LMFAO!
One wise man healing the racial divide in this country one song at a time.
A black guy reacting to good black music. Hardly earth shattering lol
@@zmoney1212 You might be right, but that doesn't mean what Paul said doesn't hold water. Man, you are the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.
The first few beats almost knocked him out of his seat. He's amazed by this type of music, and he enjoys it. I'm happy that we as a country can gather around and enjoy good music regardless of race. Still, along with politics, the biggest divisor of this country. He bridges that gap very well.
@David Hargreaves So you live in England is what you are implying?
@David Hargreaves uhhhhhhhh... Zlatan is referring to the fact that "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. But that doesn't change the fact that like @Thomas Sullivan says, he's a turd in a punchbowl.
God bless the blues, God bless Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham.
God bless New Orleans, as the band’s time there clearly inspired this song, amongst others from their discography.
AMEN!!!
I like how shaq can jam to anything, even if he isn’t used to it.
Me too, I respect that about him
British super band Led Zepplin meets the Mississippi Delta Blues!
Exactly!
Meets Shaq's brain, causing visual aneurysm.
Shaq discovering Zeppelin is like opening presents on Christmas morning, something we've taken for granted for years.
Glad you discovered one of the Most Powerful Songs I've ever listened to
I'd love to listen to Zep with this guy... he's f*cken hilarious
Ikr??? Lol
I'd love to listen to *any* music with him.
Jeff Libby This Guy knows how to react to a song to the fullest...which I like. There’s another reactor on TH-cam that doesn’t know how to react to a song.
An idea: Have an on-screen audience
It’s a Harmonica today😂
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN AND FIRST PERFORMED BY AFRICAN AMERICAN BLUES MUSICIAN WILBUR "KANSAS JOE" McCOY FROM MISSISSIPPI IN 1929. The rest of his story is on Wikipedia too.
Definitely about the Mississippi river flood in the twenties I'd say. Killed thousands of people.
written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929.
Awesome but not an African/American but an American that was black.My parents were born in Cuba but they're American & so am I cause I was born here..#LongLiveZeppelin.
drServitis I’ll bet joe McCoy didn’t have an animal like bonzo wailing drums for him.
The Great Flood of 1927....it was said that you could get on a boat in downtown Monroe, LA & go 70 miles east to Vicksburg, MS and not hit any dry land. It was that bad.
Misty Mountain Hop & Black Dog Led Zep. Congrats on 600k
That’s Robert Plant the lead singer playing the harmonica
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
I can't imagine life without The Mighty Zep. Glad you liked it Shaq, you're the best 😘💕
600K HOLY SHIT! CONGRATS!
This was a blues song originally written in the 1920s
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy
This song is sort of a "half-cover", kind of like Rage Against the Machine's version of "The Ghost of Tom Joad". The lyrics are covered from the Memphis Minnie/Joe McCoy song (with some additional lines added in by Plant and Page), while the music is original to Led Zeppelin.
And perfected in 1971.
Anyone else cracking up when he says Leevee 😂😂
kept thinking he was talkin about the Bills old coach Marv...
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. It feels like the currents of the song are taking you over the river. And then you go down over the Levee underwater and drown. The instrumentals are incredible.
Fun to see reaction to something we've heard thousands of times.. Am I right?
So effing true. Loved Zep for over 50 yrs. and still counting. I've heard Led Zep on all forms of media storage mankind has had since late 1950's. Digital makes them immortal. Almost.
Know and love
So true!
Zeppelin “In my time of dying” and Since I’ve been loving you”!
Anything they did really!
I have always loved this song beyond words. But this might be the most fun I ever had listening to it. That's tough✌
Your reaction is priceless man. I love it. You sir just got the Led out.
Fukkin----->A
It took me a long time to truly understand what it meant to get the led out. But I realized while listening to zeppelin while tripping. It’s the soul man it’s like getting something deep inside off your chest. Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time.
Shaq! Show the Ladies some loving too!
Heart - "Barracuda", "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "Alone".

Damn, Shaq you got me smiling and feeling blessed to have been raised on LED Zep. Love watching you and truly believe you are making the world better
I love the unbridled joy and enthusiasm in your reactions! - When you react to these classic rock pieces, it makes me feel like I'm hearing them for the first time (and I grew up listening to them)! Your genuine curiosity and open-mindedness about music is inspiring. I'm so glad I found you; thanks for letting this middle-aged white lady relive her wild past through you!
This man LOVES his job. #nlg🔥

I have always loved Led Zeppelin, but I think this video reminds me of that first time I heard a song like this as a kid. I can feel the enthusiasm!!

Led Zeppelin OWNS the Rock Band Throne!
#ZeppelinRULES
When someone asks me, "what is rock and roll?" I give them Zeppelin. No one can touch them.
Led Zeppelin 'Black Dog" will bow your mind Coach.
Greyhawk4x4 I second that!
This drum beat has been sampled on so many hip hop songs I know you recognize it my guy.
Watching this guy get off on good rock and metal makes me happy every time I watch him...Always makes me smile.
