I basically just said that to my dad five seconds before finding this on TH-cam to share with him. "Jimmy is ridiculous. His and Robert's swagger are just bliss."
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.
Page rocks out in this,& shots of the Madison Ave concert are bomb! I love Robert riding the horse!!! So romantic,then singing the lemon song BADDDD BOYYY!!!!! I love him so much!!!! RIP JOHN BONHAM At least I saw him before he passed at their last concert @ Knebworth! FOURTUNATE GIRL!!!!😃
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! 😵🥴🎸🎼🎶
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.
I think that the movie The Song Remains The Same, plus the soundtrack with additional songs is definitely worth it. I was disappointed with Celebration Day
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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.
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 🙂🙃🙂👍👍🤙
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.
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 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
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!🎸🥁
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
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.
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 👍🏻
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.
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.
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.
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....
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!!
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...
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.
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.
@@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
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!
Every facet of the band is felt in the mesmerizing jam that I truly love but it is John Paul Jones’ bass that moves this on along with pure funk rhythm. You got a mortgage on my body and a lien on my soul …. Damn!!!
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.
My parents used to put zepplin on vinyl in my room when I was a kid and their friends came over, so I wouldn't wake up to the voices...my absolute fav band of all time 💕
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
I'M NOT WORTHY!!!! THEY ARE ROCK GODS!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU NOT BE IMPRESSED BY THEIR AMAZING TALENT AS INDIVIDUALS...AS A GROUP AMAZING!!!! PURE GENIUS!!!! THEY BLOW MY MIND EVERY TIME!!!! THANK YOU JIMMY 🔥🔥🔥
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.
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.
This interpretation of J.Johnson’s song is just gold. It’s rips from the first chord the first beat and takes you to a new space that is raw and sexy and immerses you like only zeppelin can. It’s not just a song it’s the best of what rock is, it’s the finest of the blues and all it’s traditions. A perfect blend of the best of both captured by accident, found by chance and enjoyed by all who loves blues and rock.
OMGOSH I used to play Zeppelin' s albums as loud as I possibly could. :) I never listened to the words, I just loved the instruments, I loved dancing to their music. lol
Да-да-да!!!!❤ Дорогие мои!!! Когла я родилась в далекой Якутии на Крайнем Севере России, меня принесли домой с роддома и папа включал на бабинах ваши хиты, ваши вечные вещи! Я выросла под вас!!! Ваша музыка впечаталась в мое ДНК крепко! ❤❤❤❤
It's amazing how the blues was created in the American south by some great artist who never got the fame and recognition as these guys from over the pond who in my honest opinion had some sort chemistry that made the blues magical.
Funny thing is this was essentially left on the cutting room floor! Thank You Jimmy for saving so much music... Let's hope this year & the bands' 50 th Anniversary of forming, that you have some BIG news for us all!
Ingenious blend of blues, heavy rock and glam rock by a genius band. They brought the music up to a high pleasure level driven by the drugs they were taking.
The sound on this song is so magical, from the very first note, it just grabs you. That is a masterpiece, especially in engineering as it grasps you at that very first note in the intro.. It reminds me of those few says in 1977.
One of the most powerful ZEPPLIN songs I've ever heard. Amazing guitar and back beats from Bonham.........speaking of BONHAM......He will been gone 40 years ago tomorrow. September 25, 1980. A sad day in music history. John Bonham.........thank you!
can still remember the day I heard this song for the first time. By that stage I already had all their albums and it just blew my mind that beyond everything that they had done, they still had gems like this sitting on the shelf.
@@tanyaleavitt5652 I just came from watching a clip of that scene! Crazy how we're interacting with a comment from 8 years ago. Hope they're doing alright nowadays.

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!
Abso effin lutely. They’re phenomenal!!
No one, and i mean no one can touch the mighty Led Zeppelin. What a band.

@@stacyann825 not gone but different , without those high notes. Of course, his best voice was from 68 to 72.
Male version of Janis J.
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.
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!!
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...
The greatest band, ever.
So true
0 squeeze My lemon
Best band ever ❤❤
Eu amo demais essa musica... Led Zeppelin é sem duvidas a melhor banda de Rock que ja existiu!
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?
Robert Johnson would love this
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!!!
I hear you and I know exactly what you mean! 😎👍
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.
It happened to me when I was76yr.
This song just plain rocks . Enough said . Thank you . Please come back for the second show .
Simply the GOAT
Impressive how many good songs this band has
As a teenager their catalog had a few songs I didn't like. Now that I've matured I love them all
They didn’t write this song. It’s from an old blues player Robert Johnson.
@@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
@@claywilder308 They certainly enhanced the music.
@@heliotropezzz333 debatable, still they should have given credits to the og authors.
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!
Every facet of the band is felt in the mesmerizing jam that I truly love but it is John Paul Jones’ bass that moves this on along with pure funk rhythm. You got a mortgage on my body and a lien on my soul …. Damn!!!
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
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.
Beautiful sentiment my friend
Led Zeppelin dör aldrig. Dom kommer alltid att finnas med i historien som världens bästa rock band.. Då vet ni.. Ha... och tack för ordet
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.
Will never be another band like this. A timeless classic. The band's of today don't have a prayer in the world.
My parents used to put zepplin on vinyl in my room when I was a kid and their friends came over, so I wouldn't wake up to the voices...my absolute fav band of all time 💕
BEST BAND EVER!!!
Dam right
Now that man put it right on the money 💰 i
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! 😂🎸🎼🎶🕺
By far Zep's best recording of an old blues song! All four of them are on top of their game!
Long live Robert Johnson's legacy
One of a kind, legendary Band of All Time.
I'M NOT WORTHY!!!! THEY ARE ROCK GODS!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU NOT BE IMPRESSED BY THEIR AMAZING TALENT AS INDIVIDUALS...AS A GROUP AMAZING!!!! PURE GENIUS!!!! THEY BLOW MY MIND EVERY TIME!!!! THANK YOU JIMMY 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂
Big fuckin facts!!!
If you're not worthy, don't comment! 😄
this songs the epitome of what rock n roll really is about
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.
Это боги рок-музыки, у них нет цены.
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!
😆
John Paul is killing it in this.
JPJ absolute TOP SHELF!
48 years old and NOTHING can touch the soul like this MO-JO
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.
This interpretation of J.Johnson’s song is just gold. It’s rips from the first chord the first beat and takes you to a new space that is raw and sexy and immerses you like only zeppelin can. It’s not just a song it’s the best of what rock is, it’s the finest of the blues and all it’s traditions. A perfect blend of the best of both captured by accident, found by chance and enjoyed by all who loves blues and rock.
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
OMGOSH I used to play Zeppelin' s albums as loud as I possibly could. :) I never listened to the words, I just loved the instruments, I loved dancing to their music. lol
Да-да-да!!!!❤
Дорогие мои!!! Когла я родилась в далекой Якутии на Крайнем Севере России, меня принесли домой с роддома и папа включал на бабинах ваши хиты, ваши вечные вещи! Я выросла под вас!!!
Ваша музыка впечаталась в мое ДНК крепко!
❤❤❤❤
Circa 1937 by Johnson. Redone beautifully by Zeppelin. Thank you both!💗
Plants performance is beyond brilliant.
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.
It's amazing how the blues was created in the American south by some great artist who never got the fame and recognition as these guys from over the pond who in my honest opinion had some sort chemistry that made the blues magical.
Funny thing is this was essentially left on the cutting room floor! Thank You Jimmy for saving so much music... Let's hope this year & the bands' 50 th Anniversary of forming, that you have some BIG news for us all!
Hope so :)
Zep gone unfortunately, stop dreaming
Ingenious blend of blues, heavy rock and glam rock by a genius band. They brought the music up to a high pleasure level driven by the drugs they were taking.
The sound on this song is so magical, from the very first note, it just grabs you. That is a masterpiece, especially in engineering as it grasps you at that very first note in the intro.. It reminds me of those few says in 1977.
The Hammer Of The Gods - Led Zeppelin.
Essa banba é insuperavel ! Nenhuma outra foi tao criativa !
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
One of the most powerful ZEPPLIN songs I've ever heard. Amazing guitar and back beats from Bonham.........speaking of BONHAM......He will been gone 40 years ago tomorrow. September 25, 1980. A sad day in music history. John Bonham.........thank you!
Never heard this before WHY.
Love Led Zepp.❤❤
This song is pure happiness, makes me want to hit the road on hot sunny days
Lived in south MS and south Louisiana all of my life and I'm amazed how well a British band captures what I consider our sound, so well.
This might be the coolest music video I’ve seen of the golden band. Also this song doesn’t get enough praise.
I know!
I clicked on My Mix, and it starts with this delicious dish of sexy, funky, bluesy rock... chef's kiss.
Damnnnn!!!!! What A Rush!!!!!!! Let's take a ride down Mississippi way with the Mighty Zeppelin 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
can still remember the day I heard this song for the first time. By that stage I already had all their albums and it just blew my mind that beyond everything that they had done, they still had gems like this sitting on the shelf.
Even Dean Winchester recommends its epicness.
This song and Ramble On are Dean's favorite led Zeppelin songs
@@tanyaleavitt5652 I just came from watching a clip of that scene! Crazy how we're interacting with a comment from 8 years ago. Hope they're doing alright nowadays.
