I first heard this in Macy's when I was a college freshmen, I think it was 1992? My boyfriend was going to buy me a fancy stick umbrella plus a Bob Dylan cassette for Valentine's Day. Macy's had it tuned to the FM radio I suppose. I clutched his arm and said, honey, Robert Johnson is on the radio! Then I clutched his arm even harder and said it's fn Led Zeppelin! And yeah he did buy me the cassette and umbrella. One of the happiest days of my life. Thank you Zep for releasing this one! ❤
Radio, 2012. Dude.. I’m so tired of being alone. I want to share w someone else.. I want to make someone happy and give them all I have ❤ damn these low times.
Initially, you could ONLY get this on boots. It was a MASSIVE deal when Zep officially, FINALLY released it . Fans went nuts and so did certain radio stations. Still love the song.
@@Pinkfloyd1173 The Beatles were my favorite band for years..and then I heard Physical G. That was it - Zep became #1...and the Beatles sank to #2.....

I remember when this came out in '90, we'd been starved for anything visual for Led Zeppelin for ever. There were no on-demand videos - you wait till they magically and randomly showed out on your favourite video program. The box set was on the market and the best selling at the time. Now almost monthly, new hoarded video footage is magically showing up.

Well put... musically over the top..gets better throughout the song till the end. Like ur on a roller-coaster till the double loop finale. Yeah! Only Zeppelin 🙂🙃🙂👍👍🤙
I've fallen down a Led Zep rabbit hole, going over the hills and far away with digging deep into their career. This song and video are absolutely amazing
@@maureent6800 No need to embellish here! Back in 72-73. LZ was my lullaby at night and and my wake up call! It's been 48 years and I just find myself Dazed and Confused.
Aannnd a deep hole it is! Especially if you play! I've dabbled in bass, drums, guitar and mandolin...so it is *soo* hard to focus on just one instrument in any given Zep track. Just deciphering Pagey's genius guitar multitracking alone is maddening! 😵🥴🎸🎼🎶
Its because in the UK we didnt care that most the Blues artists were black so took inspiration from them, whereas the USA was still in the grips of race war and nationwide segregation so white most of white America refused to listen to it
@@scottwallace5239 I'm glad you all didn't care. Most people in the US didn't care either. On this side of the pond we had Elvis, Sonics, Doors, Canned Heat, pretty much the whole California music scene. Not to mention the producers and historians behind the scenes and the music buying public that ate up the incredible early 20th century roots music.
Many bands did not include songs on their original albums back then - almost every music critic writes & this goes for any band they wrote about '...the band didn't consider it good enough for their record...' Apparently what almost all music critics & fans don't know is that you could only fit 23 mins of music on each side of a 12" record. There was variations in the playing time in the 1950s, but the more time that was allotted for each side of a record brought down the sound quality. By the time Zeppelin was recording the standard was 23 mins - so, not including this song or the other - would have to with the time length of each song.
that is the bottleneck technique. robby krieger was famous for it. they would literally put an old glass bottleneck on their finger when playing to get the warble effect
Yes. This is Bonzo at his best. You can hear the triplets & ghost notes that he sneaks in. He's actually on a different time signature than the guitar line. JPJ & Bonham are one tight rythem section. This is up there with Good Times Bad Times as far as bad ass drum tracks go. Bonham was the fu**ing man. Sorry Neil Peart gotta stand in line behind Bonham. Dead or alive still the best rock drummer. My second choice might be Simon Phillips or Mike Portnoy. Im a pro drummer myself & these are the giants. All hail the mighty Bonham.
John Bonham did more with less than any other rock drummer to date. Ask any modern pro rock drummer from Mike Portnoy to TravisvBarker or Chad Smith. All of them in some way were influenced by Bonham. He didnt even have a double bass. Yet he played double bass patterns. He didn't need a double bass. He had great footwork & stickwork. All hail the mighty BONHAM.
That was part of his secret. Many of their songs are played in different time signatures for different parts. Bonham is one of the rare drummers that can hold that together and what's more is he played really loose. He's rarely on beat. That shuffle is what gives his stuff that groove.
I always want to comment on the JPJ bass lines, but then I think..wow - the guitar... then wow the drums ... then the vocals. They are all such equals in their craft. It perfectly explains why they were so far and above the others... and still are.
So very true. JPJ always seems to come in last but the guy is one of the greatest musicians of his era. Everytime I hear the lemon song I want to learn to play bass....but never did.
Four Brits unleashed a lot of that down and dirty, front porch, down home, good ol’ Mississippi country blues and did Robert Johnson proud. Every time I hear this song, riverboats, freight trains, and bales of cotton come to mind. Not to mention black men playing resonator slide guitar, blowing the harmonica, and showing everybody what the blues are all about.
I wish Robert Johnson could have been alive today to realize how admired he is by stars like Led Zeppelin and The Stones. This cover is an amazing version by Led Zeppelin. Thank you for showing the world how amazing he was by covering his song.
Robert Johnson took this song from Roosevelt Sykes, the original song was called She Squeezed My Lemon. Most people don't realized that all of Johnson's recorded catalog are parts or reworked covers from other bluesmen that he saw or heard play on the radio.
@@frankkolton1780 thats how the blues works. similar to folk, in that a large quantity of blues classics were standards that all the bluesmen would play and iterate on
No matter whatever song that has been written, sang or played by anyone else: When Led Zeppelin plays that song, it immediately and forever becomes a Led Zeppelin song.
Yes but too bad they didn't give credit to the song writers and claimed they wrote them. Maybe in those days it was standard, but they should hav known.
My first daughter heard Zeppelin in the womb! Then she heard her daddy and older brother playing Zep songs on guitar/bass. Now she plays the drums with a lot of JB in her style. Awesome!🎸🥁
@@claywilder308 led zeppelin covers are better than originals. This honestly doesn't bother me. I like covers, I would like to release some if I was ever in a band
Very early 90s I was just getting into music in general, listened to GNR first, and Slash mentioned Zeppelin in an interview. Checked them out, and my universe was burst asunder, and reshaped into four symbols forever etched in my soul.
moreblack first zep song I heard was black dog on a boom box cassette tape. I was 12 yrs old. I was like what the fuck is this. It was a paradigm shift. Amazing!!!
Someone gave me a physical graffiti tape in 1994 wrapped in cellophane. Unwrapped it in 2003 and I was never the same. I don't know why it took me so long to listen to it.
@@theallnew True story. I'm 44 now when I was 9 me and my bro were walking across holgate 205 over pass in Portland Oregon. My brother looked down and picked up a cassette. It was Zeppelin 4. Still in the wrapper. We had no clue who or what it was. We took home to our Mom. She said , hey did you two steal this ? We said no we found it. She said , do you know who this is and we were like we have no clue. Mom smiled and said , you might like it. She put it in our cassette player and that's history. All these years later I'm still down the rabbit hole that is Zeppelin. My brother passed away in 2003. I listen to them for both of us now. Carry on and have a great weekend.
This is so nice, just complimentary without dragging anything down to make your point. You wrote it two years ago and I hope you’re still well and happy today ✌️
I remember when this video aired in 1990 it was like a breath of fresh air and a message to the bands that dominated MTV at the time, "Step aside, posers. THIS is how it's done." The mighty Zep just needed to remind us of what REAL rock is.
+Mr Mojo Risin This was in 1990, a year or two before Nirvana were on MTV. Back then, hard rock was dominated by endless shitty hairbands with their over-produced sound and vapid lyrics. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, etc were a return to real rock and they were all fans of Led Zep. Btw, Rock N' Roll itself is a black slang term for SEX and this song is a cover of Robert Johnson's song from the 1920s.
I remember it too. No one at that time was even close to Zep. The Masters. Every week on MTV there was another pop metal big hair suck band with a power ballad and one hard rock song. It was a formula and it sucked.
This is easily the best era of Plants voice. Such an incredible instrument back then. Its funny how from 73 on folks say they added effects to get his voice to sound like it does on the records. To anyone that listened to bootlegs from late 60's early 70's knows, his voice was better live than it was on the albums. So incredible.
The original version was made in a single take in 1969 so I guess there was no tampering with his voice at this time. Jimmy did get a chance to overdub parts of the song though, so he added more slide guitar to it. But this version, who knows....
Very cool! And he's *still* singing great, making interesting stuff with the lovely and talented Alison Krauss. And ooooh they sound *good* together! 🎼🎤🎤🎶🥰👍
These guys were my favorite band of all time. I was around 12 or so when I first heard them. They demanded perfection from each other. Robert Plant, hands down, was the best vocalist on this planet. He, to this day, still amazes me. Jimmy Page made the best decision of his career when his vocalist left and he picked up a no name Robert Plant at the time, singing in local pubs. Not only are they musical geniuses, they are genuinely nice guys 👍🏻
There is no greatest band - it's all subjective. Have fun being wrong, indeed! These mad statements put people off. I don't listen to Zeppelin and think, "Thin Lizzy aren't as good as this", and I don't listen to Lizzy and think, "Zeppelin aren't as good as this".
1970 Led Zeppelin Black Dog @5years old ,hooked hooked ,your brain is cooked. LED ZEPPELIN JUNKIE ALL MY LIFE 58 NOW.. So glad they released this song RSB!
Page & Plant were front of house but, Jonesy & Bonzo were the blood & bones of Zeppelin. In fact Jimmy has said on record that JPJ is the best musician in Zeppelin.
Robert Johnson would be proud. This is one of my favorite Led Zep songs and did justice to Robert's song. Great performance, but the real magic was from the original songwriter. Kudos to both....Led Zep to recognize the greatness of the original song and make a killer cover. Not sure why most of the music listening world thinks this is all Zep.
I was 10-11 years old and THIS was the first Led Zeppelin song I ever heard, and that was around 1989-1990. I immediately went out and got the cassettes of their albums one after another, and they've been my favorite band ever since.
The JPJ bass groove on this cut is phenomenal....listen to him pull the string and let it go over and over again, amazing. Dynamic tension at it's best.
true, and I respect dean for that. Truly proves he has a great music taste 😝 but don’t come listen to Led Zeppelin just because dean ( a fictional character) told you to.
Maybe it’s a good thing that this song was kept in the vault all those years. It was never over-played on the radio. Great rhythm guitar. Probably their best song.
Nobody left making music like this anymore. Thank God for Led, thanks Jimmy, Robert, John P J. RIP Mr. Bonham, looking you up as soon as I get there. I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed every time I hear this. Rock on Zep heads.
Best rock and roll band ever, This is a negotiable this is a fact. Still to this day the best rock ‘n’ roll music made everything else is like fake news just fake
early zeppelin was really groovy, their live improvs and medleys especially in songs like whole lotta love, Dazed. listen to bootlegs like osaka 71', fillmore west 69', international pop festival
Born in 58' was 10 when these Cats hit the scene. My older brothers and sister however all had stereos and all had this bands albums . I fell in love with this band ...like every other kid....in seconds. The skills were mindboggling.
I think this was the first Zeppelin song I ever heard, and I think it's still my favorite. Heavy drums, Delta slide guitar, great lyrics. Not many songs I've ever heard duplicate this kind of sound. At least not way Zep did it...
man - is there anything better than this? such great music. The whole band is very talented... the thing I love about this song is the drums and the bass. I could listen to this all day long. Pure awesomeness!!
A very Happy 79th Birthday James Patrick Page 9 January 1944 Heston / Hounslow, London), England A living legend and perhaps the greatest of all time. Cheers James Patrick and many, many more..
Actually, this is one of my fave Zeppelin songs. I remember when I first heard it. It was late on New Years Eve, probably midnight or so, in the late '80's. Me and a buddy were smoking weed and drinking beer, parked in the desert listening to KLOS (LA radio station) when they came on and said here's a special previously unreleased Led Zeppelin song being played for the first time, and then played it. We were like, wow, why haven't we heard this song before? Then they came out with the CD box set. I just watched my Blu-Ray of Celebration Day last weekend on my home theater in fact. Sad that the show was a one-off, it was an amazing show, I'd have paid big money to have seen that here in the states. True Legends.
In a catalogue of incredible Led Zeppelin songs, this song stands out as a wonderful love letter to the music of Robert Johnson. It sounds like blues, but it also sounds distinctively like Zeppelin. Love it!
An awesome experience I was just turned on to was, watching the 2003 released Led Zeppelin DVD on your trip of choice, after you've mellowed out a little. The bigger the TV the better. You'll thank me later. Enjoy...
Absolutely killer.. I was born in 73 so my era and predilection is 80s metal Gods: 80’s versions Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Maiden, thrown in 70s/80s Sabbath/Ozzy. That being said, nobody can touch these 4 dudes for talent, body of work range, longevity , influence, etc. Check all of the boxes, it is Zeppelin as A#1, and frankly, there is not a close second. Most underrated Song… Custard Pie and TRB as a killer homage.
No other white boys captured the spirit of the gut bucket blues like these dudes did. Salute!!!! Combination of plant and page. The essence they captured. At least I think so??!!

When a band has a throwaway unreleased song that would be any other band’s signature hit, you have true greatness
True that
When it came out I thought how the f*ck did this not make it on an album?
Love this, but it owes a ton to Robert Johnson's Terraplane Blues....to which they also paid homage further on with Trampled Underfoot...
Amen! Zeppelin had no throw aways!

The 1972 live version if since I've been loving you is just jaw dropping, Roberts voice is on another level
My brother says the same thing. His voice was gone by Zeppelin IV.
@@stacyann825 not gone but different , without those high notes. Of course, his best voice was from 68 to 72.
Male version of Janis J.
This band makes me feel so damn happy when I hear them.
Led Zeppelin Greatest Band EVER
You this is a cover and the orignal was by robert johson
bloody good cover
Okay its a cover so what?... pricks
Led Zeppelin you've been a light in my eye since I was 10! Thank you
Great riff from Jimmy Page.
Long live Robert Johnson's legacy
I got to go bowling with Robert Plant in 1989 on Hilton Head Island! He was the nicest guy, and cool as hell. My best friends dad was his orthodontist
Did he have good teeth
Wow that sounds so cool. Thumbs up!
That is so cool
Very cool! And he's *still* singing great, making interesting stuff with the lovely and talented Alison Krauss. And ooooh they sound *good* together! 🎼🎤🎤🎶🥰👍
@@BD-ze3ys British teeth are never "good". 😂😉
I have been Lucky to be a teenager in the seventies... still listen weekly to Zep !
Me too
I wish I could of been:( this generations hard but led zep gets me through
Damm don't make me jealous! 😡😂😂😂
I was a kid in the 70's, it was a migical time!!!!!!!!!!!
And we got fuckin cardi b, so unfair.
John Paul is killing it in this.
JPJ absolute TOP SHELF!
I clicked on My Mix, and it starts with this delicious dish of sexy, funky, bluesy rock... chef's kiss.
Simply the GOAT
I love it when modern tv shows lead us to discover these incredible older songs like this one. Thanks Dean!
And this is what is called bringing the blues from the Delta to the Stars
cosmic blues!

Jose Plaza everyone lifts material and if you dig deep you'll find Robert Johnson got this from charlie something
One of the things the Brits did well.
@@shubhamlele5395 Charlie parton -? Check him out
The Gods of Rock. Thank you universe for allowing me to live in the same time span
But... this is Truly Bluesy ... deep bluesy .... like.. others from cotton fieldes.... or Missisippy around...
One masterpiece after another after another after another
God luck seeing anything even remotely close to Led Zeppelin again
live immortal music!
Murrotal qs al qashash
Robert Plant's raspy and fun singing voice is to die for.
That base line is just awesome,brilliant in fact.
The drumming is outta this world.
Seriously, what the heck
peter Enis I so agreeeeee
John Bonham, the best.
Bonzo!!
@@DScott-pc7rd Bonzo loved to use Jazz style as well.
You should listen to in my time of dying far better for the drumming
Robert Johnson must be looking down (or up) and beaming with pride!
😆
These guys were my favorite band of all time. I was around 12 or so when I first heard them. They demanded perfection from each other. Robert Plant, hands down, was the best vocalist on this planet. He, to this day, still amazes me. Jimmy Page made the best decision of his career when his vocalist left and he picked up a no name Robert Plant at the time, singing in local pubs. Not only are they musical geniuses, they are genuinely nice guys 👍🏻
Terry Reid was the original pick by Page...Zep might have had an interesting sound with Reid's vocals.
Hands down the greatest band that ever was. Period.
If you disagree have fun being WRONG
THE Best !!!
There is no greatest band - it's all subjective. Have fun being wrong, indeed! These mad statements put people off. I don't listen to Zeppelin and think, "Thin Lizzy aren't as good as this", and I don't listen to Lizzy and think, "Zeppelin aren't as good as this".
@@AlexAlexon3897 Boohoo best band ever. Truth doesn't sit well with everyone unfortunately
@@finnafishfl: No need to cry, man!
This music is timeless, it will be played for eternity, and for my kids like my father did for me, what a blessing to the world 🌎
1970 Led Zeppelin Black Dog @5years old ,hooked hooked ,your brain is cooked. LED ZEPPELIN JUNKIE ALL MY LIFE 58 NOW.. So glad they released this song RSB!
Page & Plant were front of house but, Jonesy & Bonzo were the blood & bones of Zeppelin. In fact Jimmy has said on record that JPJ is the best musician in Zeppelin.
Salute ! ... yell JPJ !!
JPJ defines what bass is supposed to sound like.
this songs the epitome of what rock n roll really is about
Combination of page on 12 string electric + slide + jonesy and bonham makes for a kickass tune
3:07 The lemon song has commenced.
"Killing floor"
Robert Johnson would be proud. This is one of my favorite Led Zep songs and did justice to Robert's song. Great performance, but the real magic was from the original songwriter. Kudos to both....Led Zep to recognize the greatness of the original song and make a killer cover. Not sure why most of the music listening world thinks this is all Zep.
can you imagine the rock world if robert johnson had been introduced to
'lectricity?
I was 10-11 years old and THIS was the first Led Zeppelin song I ever heard, and that was around 1989-1990. I immediately went out and got the cassettes of their albums one after another, and they've been my favorite band ever since.
The JPJ bass groove on this cut is phenomenal....listen to him pull the string and let it go over and over again, amazing. Dynamic tension at it's best.
Like I wrote above.. his finest hour 😍
It's one of two Dean's Winchester favorite songs.
The other being “Ramble On”, yeah?
Yeah
yesss
true, and I respect dean for that. Truly proves he has a great music taste 😝 but don’t come listen to Led Zeppelin just because dean ( a fictional character) told you to.
@@jasminemayes8466 Hey the show is a means of getting people to hear music like this that they might not otherwise have ever heard at all.
Greatest rock band ever...full stop
Another ACE of a tune that didn't make it on a ZEPPELIN Album -- it's incredible the amount of great songs that didn't make their cut.
Это боги рок-музыки, у них нет цены.
Maybe it’s a good thing that this song was kept in the vault all those years. It was never over-played on the radio. Great rhythm guitar. Probably their best song.
John paul is immense on the bass. I was so obsessed with listening to page and Bonham. But JPJ is truly one of the greats.
Nobody left making music like this anymore. Thank God for Led, thanks Jimmy, Robert, John P J. RIP Mr. Bonham, looking you up as soon as I get there. I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed every time I hear this. Rock on Zep heads.
Scientific Seal Agreed.
Clutch and Bigelf to be exact.
Please give Rival Sons, Electric Mary, a listen.
There are still bands that make awsome music with no1 being Iron Maiden
bcsorensenman go check out greta van fleet. Seriously it's not a cover band or anything but it's as good as Zeppelin.. We'll almost.
I perfer LED HAEDS!!! Has a better sound to it!
What a band... Page, Plant, Bonham, Jones, Four fantastic guys so talented, god bless Led Zeppelin and RIP Bonzo
Best rock and roll band ever, This is a negotiable this is a fact. Still to this day the best rock ‘n’ roll music made everything else is like fake news just fake
Circa 1937 by Johnson. Redone beautifully by Zeppelin. Thank you both!💗
One of a kind, legendary Band of All Time.
The best band of all time.
1:06 crossroads Robert Johnson
Always loved the way Jimmy grooved with his playing,,sooo fkn cool.
Violin, sitar and all!
early zeppelin was really groovy, their live improvs and medleys especially in songs like whole lotta love, Dazed. listen to bootlegs like osaka 71', fillmore west 69', international pop festival
that happy-feet dance across the stage, Les Paul slung down to his knees... it's life itself! 😂🎸🎼🎶🕺
THE MOST underrated Led Zep gem. And too bad it's the shortened version.
if only I could've grown up in the sixties and seventies....man the good times were rolling then! led zeppelin is the f****** best
Travis Batchelor image allll the pussy we would of gotten
Same here - I'm only just discovering them now, I'm 49. Better late than never....
Born in 58' was 10 when these Cats hit the scene. My older brothers and sister however all had stereos and all had this bands albums . I fell in love with this band ...like every other kid....in seconds. The skills were mindboggling.
Will never be another band like this. A timeless classic. The band's of today don't have a prayer in the world.
We’ll never see another band like this again! I fortunately saw the in Oakland, July 24, 1977…
Unfortunately it was their last American concert.
I think this was the first Zeppelin song I ever heard, and I think it's still my favorite. Heavy drums, Delta slide guitar, great lyrics. Not many songs I've ever heard duplicate this kind of sound. At least not way Zep did it...
man - is there anything better than this? such great music. The whole band is very talented... the thing I love about this song is the drums and the bass. I could listen to this all day long. Pure awesomeness!!
A very Happy 79th Birthday James Patrick Page
9 January 1944 Heston / Hounslow, London), England
A living legend and perhaps the greatest of all time.
Cheers James Patrick and many, many more..
This is one fav Led Zeppelin songs. Another is When The Levee Breaks.
I agree, when the levee breaks is great
Me............ too ! Friend ...
The Hammer Of The Gods - Led Zeppelin.
Actually, this is one of my fave Zeppelin songs. I remember when I first heard it. It was late on New Years Eve, probably midnight or so, in the late '80's. Me and a buddy were smoking weed and drinking beer, parked in the desert listening to KLOS (LA radio station) when they came on and said here's a special previously unreleased Led Zeppelin song being played for the first time, and then played it. We were like, wow, why haven't we heard this song before? Then they came out with the CD box set. I just watched my Blu-Ray of Celebration Day last weekend on my home theater in fact. Sad that the show was a one-off, it was an amazing show, I'd have paid big money to have seen that here in the states. True Legends.
Plants performance is beyond brilliant.
48 years old and NOTHING can touch the soul like this MO-JO
This is a great LZ song (very addictive). All 4 band members seems to be in balance in terms of how much they contribute to the song
In a catalogue of incredible Led Zeppelin songs, this song stands out as a wonderful love letter to the music of Robert Johnson. It sounds like blues, but it also sounds distinctively like Zeppelin. Love it!
Good music good days. All we need is led zeppelin
mathiascruz.bandcamp.com/track/son-los-orientales-tan-desbidujados-como-desobedientes
pretty much
And ELVIS !!
thanks E we love you too
An awesome experience I was just turned on to was, watching the 2003 released Led Zeppelin DVD on your trip of choice, after you've mellowed out a little. The bigger the TV the better. You'll thank me later. Enjoy...
LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER! LONG LIVE LED ZEPPELIN!
JPJ laying it down proper
Absolutely killer.. I was born in 73 so my era and predilection is 80s metal Gods: 80’s versions Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Maiden, thrown in 70s/80s Sabbath/Ozzy.
That being said, nobody can touch these 4 dudes for talent, body of work range, longevity , influence, etc. Check all of the boxes, it is Zeppelin as A#1, and frankly, there is not a close second.
Most underrated Song… Custard Pie and TRB as a killer homage.
No other white boys captured the spirit of the gut bucket blues like these dudes did. Salute!!!! Combination of plant and page. The essence they captured. At least I think so??!!
Never heard this before WHY.
Love Led Zepp.❤❤
