- My reaction to Led Zeppelin's touching and heartfelt "Going to California" performed live at Earls Court in 1975.
Let me know what other Zeppelin songs I should react to!

For all of Zeppelin's "god of thunder" dynamic they can go as soft and delicate as anyone. I think that in part is why they are so great.
You'll probably really love 'Tangerine' and 'That's The Way' from this show as well, they're both also mellow acoustic pieces.
Tangerine...haunting...
That's the way is one of the most under appreciated acoustic song of all time.
It's amusing to me how many people think of Zeppelin only as a hard rock band, but they were doing 'unplugged stuff (on album and in concert) way before Unplugged was even a concept.
Jimmy Page is an amazing acoustic player, and that us saying something because playing acoustic is very different from electric.
Ten Years Gone, too!!
Ahh - Led Zeppelin the Greatest Rock band ever to walk this planet.
Zeppelin would often do a 3 or 4 song sit-down acoustic set in the middle of their shows. Bonham was often offstage for these taking a quick break. He'd return the favor during his lengthy "Moby Dick" drum solos.
John were at some of there show
I love that song, and that performance.
Indeed, kind of intimate performance, touching.
Led Zeppelin: the juggernaut of Valhalla.
The best band EVER.
👏👏👏
the greatest band there ever was !!!!!
Being a native Californian, this song has always been special to me. I love that line too
My fav Led Zeppelin song too. It gets to me in a way no other does.
Beautiful version of this masterpiece by the #GOATS.
Robert is singing about a love for Joni Mitchell a 60s folk singer from Canada who settled in southern California. This song represents another dynamic of Zeppelin where they would set aside part if their live show to do an acoustic set , which along with Jimmys solos and encores led to 3 hour shows!!!
Saw them in Toronto in '71 when album III came out. The acoustic set was a regular thing and one of the best parts of the concert. Beautiful playing by John Paul Jones on mandolin. He would also play bass parts with his feet on the organ pedals which you can see right in front of him at the end of this. I believe he was a church organist at one time and it's something they all learn to do. Supposedly this song is about Joni Mitchell. If you can find a live version of That's the Way, it has a similar feel to this song. I believe Robert Plant always loved the sound of the mandolin and it was a big part of his music when he performed with Alison Krauss.
Thank You is another great acoustic.
the hammer of the gods
Such a beautiful song; I heard it's about Joni Mitchell. Can't wait until you do In My Time Of Dying (from Physical Graffiti) live at Earls Court, 1975, and Ten Years Gone; probably best to do them in order like you're doing, though. Yes, that's a mandolin that Jonesy is playing.
Yes do the In My Time Of Dying live!
This song I can listen to on repeat for ages. It's so good you don't realise there are no drums, that's how captivating it is.
This a great performance that I keep going back to myself. Just wait until you checkout Jimmy playing White Summer breathtaking. Jimmy acoustic playing also was get to me, plus JPJ can play anything beautifully.
Thank you for recognizing how good it really is because well, it is. Lol
Thanks for your love of music -
was in the audience for that performance...what a show, saw them another 3 times that week
Another song of theirs you will love is....thank you... such a beautiful well written love song the video is just as good on you tube it has a picture of mountains and a lake you will get tons of views from this one again one of the best love songs ever written another great one is ...I'm gonna crawl...their last album in through the out door
They are the GOATS OF THE GOATS! You should check out CROSBY, STILLS,NASH, AND YOUNG...SEEING THAT YOU LOVE THIS TUNE.
Great reaction as always man, I really hope you react, or at least watch on your own, the song the directly follows this, another acoustic song called “that’s the way” it is right up there with rain song and going to California, in my opinion.
Take the words from The Song Remains the Same and The Rain Song with one and realize that you only live once. You are beginning your life journey. Make it count before the world gets you. They were fearless. Thats the message
Earls Court is great. I believe the best parts are the new songs featured on physical graffiti. In My Time of Dying, Trampled Under Foot etc.
Two of my faves on Physical Graffiti. In My Time of Dying kicks ass at Earls Court.
Yes.....”children of the sun begin to awake” Laurel Canyon, where so many of the musicians of the time, including. Mitchell lived....”she plays guitar and she sings......oh she sings”. Mitchell is ranked as one of the finest songwriters/singers of the last 50 years. Plant had a huge crush from afar on her. He fell in love with the whole vibe and scene of California in 1968/69.......and has really stayed in love with that place and time, very wistfully, as so many of us alive at that time have done. Plant referred to himself in an interview in 2017 as a rather “sad, old hippy”. Allot of us are.
led zeppelin were masters at switching gears.. going from rock, funk, acoustic, country, rock 'n' roll, blues. they could play any type of music. with ease
Jones on lead with the Mandolin “ considering he’s a bass @ pianist he’s the “ Musicians Musician “
Каждая песня-произведение искусства! Каждая зальная версия-лучшее воспроизведение студийной! Величайшие из великих!!!
This is just the tip of the Mighty Zep.. never to be topped 🌟
Aren't they amazing? Do In My Time Of Dying live!! Killer!
Where have you been? I hope you haven’t quit. I like your take on Zeppelin. I was looking forward to the remainder of your journey.
This album contains huge songs, Stairway, Black Dog and Rock and Roll but its Misty Mountain Hop I want to see you react to
They played an acoustic set of 4 songs..after Bonzos Moby Dick.. A rest for all.. Saw a show at MSG where Bonzo was late coming back..on Bron Y Ar Stomp.. The 3 were looking behind and just vamping..until John came running on stage.. Fun moment.. LZ the GOAT..
Took my chances on a big jet plane awesome the greatest song ever
Sublime, epic, unforgettable ...
James Patrick Page + Robert Antony Plant + John Richard Baldwin + John Henry Bonham ... the juggernaut of Valhalla.
The best band EVER.
Greetings from Danmark 🤜🇩🇰🤛
Do more songs from this concert.
This song typifies how so many people felt about California back in the 70s. The land of endless promise
Another thumbs up
Bassist John Paul Jones is playing the mandolin. Also the keyboard player when one is needed. This guy is so talented, yet overlooked. Robert Plant said he was the "glue" that holds this Band together." They are lucky to have a guy like that.
I love watching your reactions, the pleasure and enjoyment you are showing is so addictive..this is one of my favourites also, calming and catchy...
Battle of Evermore 👍🔥👍🔥👍
Love it
I found a woman with flowers in her hair. Traveled 2600 miles to California. We were in love and have been for 36 years. She still puts a flower in her hair for me.
The whole acoustic set is good from Earl's Court
Probably my favorite song by them
Good music will always resonate no matter the generation.
Yeah man I know what you mean. It's been getting to me for a long time. Favorite Zeppellin song
You tricked me. I thought we were going in order. It's just so much easier to keep track of instead of guessing which ones or looking. Saves trouble of requesting songs already viewed.
Nah I just wanted to react to this specific performance because it's my favorite song and I really wanted to see it live. Going back in order after this video.
@@emmanuelflores9983 Don't forget Ramble On!
One of the big reasons that Robert Plant was able to have a successful solo career after 1980, when he very deliberately tried to tone down the “rock god” image he had crafted for Zeppelin, is that his voice, in addition to the power, can be emotive as hell. It can be as soft as a feather, and delicate. As he has gotten older, he has used that side of his voice to great effect, and has produced some gorgeous music. You are a young man (true confession, I am Plants age) but you’re not just wanting the hard rock only, but the full spectrum of music. This channel is not the appropriate place for Plants later music, but you might wish to privately do some sampling of his 10 or so solo albums he’s done over the last 40 years. There are many jewels there.
Who would say Led Zeppelin were the kings of country as well
All of your comments echo all the same feelings I've always had about this song. Since I heard it for the first time in 1971. I've heard in years since that it was inspired by the band's mutual obsession with Joni Mitchell.
I think in large part i love this song because it was written about Joni Mitchell.
You'll find several phrases to describe Zeppelin's music: hammer of the gods (itself a lyric from "Immigrant Song"), tight but loose, light and shade, whisper to the thunder. Their music often display at least one of these mantras and what type of journey you take with it is up to the listener.
JPJ on mandolin!! Please do Ramble On!
Bonham back stage having 6 beers 🍺
The girl who plays guitar and sings refers to Joni Mitchell!
I saw them in 1974 and 2007
Oh my where are you? Back to work?? Lord God hope your healthy. Man let us who loved watching you that you are ok......much love Susanne in Dallas💖
You continue to do one great reaction after another🎶🎶 keep going you hv alot to choose from but this song is from Zep4 aahhh whose keeping track right GOOD MUSIC!!✌️
I love your reactions, they are genuine and heartfelt...if you want to live a true magic experience, do a reaction to Achilles Last Stand Live at Knebworth 1977 or Kashmir Live at Knebworth 1979, they will blow your mind. Keep it up dude!
It's John Paul Jones who plays mandolin. There's no question.
WHERD YA GO AMIGOMISSS YER REACTIONS I HAVE LOTTA SONGS BY THEM THATD BLOW YOU AWAY!!! YEP SONG REMAINS THE SAME DVD IS AWESOME I GOT IT AN I SEEN IT BACK AT THE MIDNITE SHOWING QUADRIPHONIC STEREO THE PARTY WAS ON AS IF IT WAS REAL CONCERT I SEEN IT W/ GIRLFRIEND LEAST 6OR 7 TIMES OVERALL DOZENS OF TIMES ACILLIES LST STAND OR TEA FOR ONE ETC ETC HOPE YA GET BACK ON YER A NATURALAND GOT GREAT TASTE!!! CHEEERS!!!
I tell you what, there is no way in fucking hell I would have made it through the Cold War Alive without the sounds of Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd to let me know that there is a GOD, and don't give up... So glad you and these reaction kids are finding this music now in these Confusing times.... I know this time is much more frightening then what I had gone through. So let the warmth of the music always carry you to that special place where things just make sense. Trust in GOD,, You can make it to that wizard on the mountaintop.
As this is a shout out to Joni Mitchell, if you don't know her music, suggest you give it a listen. Early work is very folky. Later work gets more jazzy.
Probably their best set ever was the 1970 Royal Albert Hall show. You should check out How Many More Times,” and also the encore from that concert, it is amazing. You should also check out Cream. If John Paul Jones is the #1 bass player, then Jack Bruce from Cream is #1b, same goes for the drummer Ginger Baker, and of course there is Eric Clapton too. Some starters would be the live versions of “Spoonful” and “Tales of Brave Ulysses” (the live version of which is not on TH-cam, but is by far better than the studio version). They have a lot of great ones like Zeppelin, but are more bluesy.
Like this ? Then “Ten Years Gone” is a MUST.
That’s The Way next ?
Just subscribed Brother, enjoy your artistic take and emotional reaction to this song by this AWESOME GROUP OF ARTIST. IM a drummer ,now playing only in CHURCH. MUSIC MOVES ME IN MY SOUL. GOD BLESS
New to your channel but 20 years ago my husband and I had this played at our Wedding along with Joni Mitchell's Coyote and Beethoven. Always be open minded
Led zeppelin greatest band ever to walk the planet earth they are the definition of. Rock and roll no Beatles no rolling stones no pink Floyd they would not even carry Jimmy page guitar case dismissed haters
Yiud llove bron yr stomp from this gig too
That's the Way from this concert is also amazing! You need to check it out!
Great reaction! Thx. I saw the. 2x in one week back then!! They did insane shows, but then sat down like this for an acoustic set. Can’t rem what they played, but definitely this (same tour I think) Stairway, Gallows Pole, etc. Two amazing later live performances, find Gallows Pole from Jools Holland, 1994, and Battle of Evermore from MYV Unplugged w Najma Ahktar singing backup.
Also check out the studio versions of Misty Mountain Hop and Four Sticks from LZ 4. I haven’t seen anyone do those yet.
Let’s see Fool in the Rain. No one else on TH-cam has EVER done this song. 🙏🙏
If you think you prefer their folksier side, give a listen to 'Bron-Yr-Aur', 'Thank You', 'What Is and What Should Never Be' and 'The Battle of Evermore'. All amazing songs, that I think you'll love! :) Then again, virtually all Zeppelin songs are amazing! ;) :)
Yes, "In my time of dying and "Trampled Underfoot" from the same concert I believe are musts. They are most definitely not calm with those two songs. In my time of dying is an old blues song from the deep south about a mans journey into heaven. Page plays an amazing slide guitar the entire song. Trampled Underfoot is a remake of the old Robert Johnson tune from the 20's or 30's called "Terrapin Blues." It's about comparing a woman's body to car parts. It is super funky and an amazing song. If not the same concert they are both on the same dvd as this. Also the other two acoustic songs that were a part of this set are amazing as well.
You should definitely do Tangerine and That’s The Way from the same performance
#GOATS
John Paul Jon’s is playing the mandolin. He is the main instrument in the song but of course they give him no camera time.
How could tomorrow ever follow today?
Going to California , Battle of Evermore, Rain Song. , Gallows Pole. Bron Yr Aur. Thank You. ZEPS best acoustics . Check out going to Cal and tbe Kasmir performances from the Unleaded show. I believe it was 1994 No JPJ or J B. But great stuff. If you tend like the acoustic Zep check out Led Zeppelin III
Over the Hills and Far Away ... Shout out to Sandy Denny for her background vocals on "The Battle of Evermore"!
