I love you both and think both of you are equally fun and exciting to watch ... such a delight !!! So full of wonder and appreciation ... you bring back all the feelings we got when WE first discovered them. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you both and early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!
This is the album my friend first played for me in 1969. I had never heard hard rock before. Didn't even know what it was. My parents listened to country music and my older sister listened to soft rock so that was all I had been exposed to. Then I vwent to spend the weekend with my high school buddy and this was the firstslbum he put on his stereo. I fell like I was transformed into another world. Needless to say I went out and bought this and s Black Sabbath album. From then on my collection consisted of nothing but hard rock. Thanks for the memories ❤❤❤
Have you ever heard david bowies 1970 ground breaking album.... the man who sold the world. It is my favourite bowie album. Every song is very good. Nirvana played when sound track to the album on their epic unplugged record. If you like bowie, this will blow you away❤. Scott, Bournemouth England .
I was lucky enough to have seen Led Zeppelin in concert in 1975. I had the worst seats ever...behind the stage (not to be confused with "backstage"). We were at least very close...just a few rows from the stage. John Bonham was sick, actually vomiting into a bucket in between songs. We assumed without any evidence that he had too much to drink. His playing didn't suffer...he was a beast! The other memory I have is actually briefly locking eyes with Jimmy Page. The band left the stage during the drum solo, for a bathroom break or whatever it is rock stars do when they leave the stage. Anyway, as the drum solo nears its end, I noticed Jimmy had snuck back on stage and was standing at the side of the stage watching Bonham. I said to my buddy "There's Jimmy" and pointed, and right at that instant Jimmy just happened to look my direction. As I said, we were close, and he obviously saw me pointing at him. And then he started dancing to the beat. And that's about the end of my memories of the concert, other than Jimmy played really well while Robert disappointed a little. The 2 Johns were fantastic.
This was one of the songs they were sued over. Robert hadn't changed the lyrics from Howlin Wolf's "KILLING FLOOR," from which this song is based. My favorite Zep song to jam with on guitar.
But if it wasn’t for bands like Zeppelin, it’s arguable these old blues masters would have faded into relative obscurity and never been brought to the mainstream. The rock bands that followed them (like Zeppelin) brought interest to the old blues men, which, in turn, enhanced THEIR estates.
I been listening to zep for 55 years and music even longer. And when asked about this subject Page said ask Plant. Because this really to me sounds very little like killing floor. But it's Robert's fault for adding lyrics to songs that really weren't that song
This is a version of Killing Floor by Howlin’ Wolf from 1964. Howlin’ Wolf was Chicago blues musician. The killing floor was part of a slaughter house in Chicago where the animals were killed before being butchered. Being “down on the killing floor” became slang for being in a bad situation especially in regards to a relationship with a woman.
I wanna see my children down on this killing floor....after squeezing his lemon till the juice runs down my leg, is talking about literally what it says. Drippage.
Thanks as always for doing my pick, thought you would get a kick out of this one!… As you know, their diversity is incredible and on each album there is diversity but they also quickly evolved musically from album to album. This song has everything to do with what they were doing in 1969. Blues based hard rock, call and response between Jimmy and Robert, etc. Just one year later on Zeppelin III they really got more deeply into acoustic music and a year after that they were doing Stairway to Heaven, which is quite different than the Lemon song! My point is they would not have done Stairway in 1969. That’s not where they were at yet. But only two short years later they evolved and then before you know it a couple years later they’re doing Kashmir with eastern influences, quite amazing really!
Carl Baldassarre, a composer, describes Led Zeppelin as a "swinging" band. I think that accurately accounts for the swag in their sound. From bass, drums, guitar, & vocals...man, they killed it on this one!
The MIGHTY>>>MIGHTY Zep...never duplicated never replaced as the greatest band ever. And JPJ is a real monster on the bass on this one. He is so talented it's criminal.
First of all, I love two ❤ Secondly,I was in my bedroom. I was 12yrs old and was standing in front of the mirror doing all of Roberts' moves,listening to this song and then my mum walked in just as Robert sang, ' Squeeze my Baby as the juice ran down ĺeg ' Her reaction " Oh,Alan " then left my room 😁
Since Rock, country, jazz, big band, ragtime, and even rap are ALL BASED ON BLUES music, most music today has a blues edge to it since almost all modern song structure is based on the same chord progressions, and the scales used on all the solos.
Every time i go back and listen to something off One,Two or Three.I say "this really show cases ALL four guys at their best "...over and over again......but ,here we go again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After a few incredibly popular albums, plus their combined talents, there were lots of rumors that Led Zeppelin had sold their souls for incredible talent. Jimmy's fascination with the occult and Alister Crowley (he bought his old mansion) made many think their rise to stardom was not natural.
Two gems that were hidden for years… travelling riverside blues and the girl i love got long black wavy hair. And these songs were not polished, just as raw as you can get. Enjoy🤘❤️
Great reaction Andre, Dominika! For me, the real standout on this track is John Paul Jones with the basslines...it's just SO groovy (and intricate). Of course the drums, guitar & vocals are top notch too - it's Zeppelin - their sum was always greater than their parts! Such a sexy tune. Always felt dirty singing along with it, but loved it so! Cheers from Canada, eh!
Two old blues songs stuck together, Howling Wolf's Killing floor and the other dudes name I forget Blind something or other the line Squeeze my lemon taken from one of his songs.The owner of Howlin Wolf publishing sued them and they settled out of court. LZ were in and out of court numerous times. Even the name got them in legal hot water had to change the spelling .
This is one of 6 songs that Led Zeppelin was accused of borrowing (stealing?) lyrics and licks from American blues musicians. When they originally played it live they even used the actual name of the song. Killing Floor. However when it came out on the album, the title was changed and Howling Wolf was not credited. Howling Wolf was later given credit for the song. Slash and Brian Johnson do the song on Slash's new album Orgy Of The Damned and it's a KILLER version. Well worth a listen.
React to Marvin Gaye (Whats Going On, Lets Get It on, Mercy Mercy Me, Trouble Man, If I should Die Tonight...), Smokey Robinson (Crusin', Quiet Storm, Ooh Baby Baby, Here I Go Again, Baby Baby Don't Cry...) Earth Wind and Fire (Reasons, Devotion, That's The Way of The World, Imagination, Head To The Sky, Spirit, Mighty-Mighty, Can't Hide Love, Be Ye Ever Wonderful) The Temptations (Memories, My Girl, Ball of Confusion, Silent Night...)
"The Lemon Song" 😮 One would think this song is a Lemon 🍋, but we all know with Led Zeppelin there are NO! LEMON'S 🍋, because in Rock they are the Top Banana🍌😃 Peace 😊✌️ your 70 year old forever Young Hippie and Zeppaholic Gary 💃🕺 Great Reaction real peachy-king🍑👍
You may have heard that this song is a rip off of Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor; but that's not true. The song is a basic 12 bar blues song that is very common. The only thing Zep took from the song was a few of the lyrics. I should've quit you a long time ago I should've quit you, baby, long time ago The Lemon Song is so much more complex and sounds nothing like Killing Floor. Just FYI
Absolutely, positively correct. Only lyrics and melodies can be copy written. Some of the lyrics got them in hot water, but the arrangement is light years from the original. Furthermore, if it wasn’t for bands like Zeppelin, how many of those s would even know about Howlin Wolf? So, one could argue that Zeppelin’s transgressions ACTUALLY benefited the old bkuesmen’s estates!

John Paul Jones was the glue that held Zeppelin together. Bass, piano, keyboard, mellotron, mandolin....he did it all.
JPJ absolutely brought that bass up to another level on this one..., a maestro
He was led zeppelin's secret weapon.
The silent assassin..
The way Jonesy drives his bass thru this song is just Epic! So masterful 😊
'Bout time you got round to this! That bass!
I like the bass line on this. It’s epic. Good song John Paul Jones is not given enough credit for his musicianship Great choice and reaction
Finally❤
Now, I'm gonna crawl❤
I saw a chart where someone divided Led Zeppelin songs by meaning. The 3 sections were Sex, Hobbits and a sliver of Citrus. LOL
Perfect!
😂
😅
That bass though...
Greatest Rock n' Roll band EVER!!! This song, "The Lemon Song" is No. 1 one my list!!!!
'You can be a dead person, you come back to life'
Fantastic!
Greatest rock band ever!
Glad to see you two smiling from a Led Zeppelin song. Makes me happy that you're enjoying what i heard many , many times. 👍😎👍
One of their best the bass and drums stand out fantastic track
I love you both and think both of you are equally fun and exciting to watch ... such a delight !!! So full of wonder and appreciation ... you bring back all the feelings we got when WE first discovered them. Happy belated Thanksgiving to you both and early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!
I was going to write nearly the exact same comment. Thanks for voicing our opinion!
@@RobertTrainor-l3t 😊👍
I saw LZ at the Forum in LA in 1977. The place went nuts for three hours.
More excellent Led Zeppelin from their 2nd album❤❤
I saw them do this live in Cleveland in 1969 before the second album was released! BLEW US AWAY!❤😂
Doug ... Was at the Boston show.
I’ve never clicked so fast on a video - love the lemon song and absolutely love watching you guys discovering my favourite band, always a joy ❤
My favorite Zep album. Every song is great.
Has there ever been a better bass guitar performance on record? I doubt it. Great reaction guys. Best wishes from England 🏴.

You cannot imagine what it was like listening to this in it's time, bloody great! But you also have never listened to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac!
Glad your doing the studio version.

Do you still have the ticket stub ?
Wow, I had it for decades. I can still see it in my memory because I had it so long. No idea where it is now.
Great reaction. Great song off of a great album.
You did touch on it, but this is one song where you can listen to it and just focus on the on instrument or voice throughout, fantastic production.
John Paul Jones just pluckin' that bass riff ✌💖☮

This is just one of the thousands of reasons as to why they are the greatest that ever was.
Giving that Howlin' Wolf Classic the Led Zepp treatment. Good stuff.
Lemon,baby Absolutely amazing
Hi there! You two have some of the smartest, and most insightful, reactions on TH-cam! And you seem like great people. Peace.
I'm sweating! Lol! You and everyone else. It never gets old. Have heard this 1000 times. 🤣

Always in the light
A long time coming !
The notes that Page plays during the squeezing section always makes me
smile !...👍👍
What a song , John Paul jones is fantastic on this
🔥🔥🔥
This is why i call Jimmy Page the king of rock n roll blues guitar.
First of all, I love two ❤
Secondly,I was in my bedroom. I was 12yrs old and was standing in front of the mirror doing all of Roberts' moves,listening to this song and then my mum walked in just as Robert sang, ' Squeeze my Baby as the juice ran down ĺeg ' Her reaction " Oh,Alan " then left my room 😁

OoooooWee. This ones in my top 5. This song is... sticky.
One of their finest🤭🤭 even though they are all the finest🤘❤️
JPJ working his magic
After a few incredibly popular albums, plus their combined talents, there were lots of rumors that Led Zeppelin had sold their souls for incredible talent. Jimmy's fascination with the occult and Alister Crowley (he bought his old mansion) made many think their rise to stardom was not natural.
Heavy Blues Roller Coaster ..
I was a teen listening to this in the '70s!!!
They have such a deep catalog. Keep digging!!! 😁😁
This song shows the funk side of ZEPPELIN.
They have reached a whole new level compared to other blues-based rock bands of the time.
Two gems that were hidden for years… travelling riverside blues and the girl i love got long black wavy hair. And these songs were not polished, just as raw as you can get. Enjoy🤘❤️
Baby Come On Home was a hidden gem. The other two I heard of for 40 plus years
Zeppelin.
65% sex.
2% Citrus fruit.
33% Hobbits, vikings and stuff.
100 % blues, you missed the facts of life.
Led Zeppelin made an art form out of reworking old blues and folk songs and making them their own
Technology gets in the way of creativity!
Check out "Killing Floor" by Electric Flag with Mike Bloomfield. Really
raucous Chicago blues.
Anybody else notice the howling wolf at the very end?
Check another unique one from that era Baby Come On Home!!!
Great reaction Andre, Dominika! For me, the real standout on this track is John Paul Jones with the basslines...it's just SO groovy (and intricate). Of course the drums, guitar & vocals are top notch too - it's Zeppelin - their sum was always greater than their parts!
Such a sexy tune. Always felt dirty singing along with it, but loved it so!

Sexiest SONG 🎵 Ever❤🎉😊

For me this was the peak time of Robert Plant vocals.

As much as I love Led Zeppelin, I think it's time to get back to their contemporary and equal, Black Sabbath.
Please do the "Wonton Song" by Zeppelin
Their are NO bad Zeppelin songs

When are y'all going to react to more Live Zeppelin- especially from Song Remains The Same. The height of their powers.

A lot of the music of Led Zeppelin is blues based, but it isn't wakanda based.
sexual connotations , yes
ARrrrrhhhhhh, you guys read the lyrics before listening to the song...you need to go book a room. !!!
First
You know you uh uh you knowYou know, you know, you're no dumb.You know
Great music but not so great lyrics. "The juice runs down my leg" is sexual not kind of sexual.
So what?
@@BBaldwin Maybe not you but lyrics are important to me. My remark was a reply to Merchants of Alba.
"leave my children down on this killing floor" is what happens after you squeeze his lemon and the juice runs down his leg. Literally.
