Wonderful reaction! That movie was "Stand By Me" ☺️
Love that movie!!!!
stand by me
Great song too, Stand by Me 😊
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Best line delivery of Will Wheaton's career.
In the face off with "Ace".
Deliverance came to my mind. The banjo scene was the best movie scene.
Zeppelin was one of those bands when I was a teen where we just lay on our beds in the dark and just “listened”.
Only way to listen to Zeppelin. I’m 39 and I tell my parents all the time I would’ve given anything to go to these concerts back then
I was in college and we did the same but with a joint. Brings back memories.
I am 63 love to see young people finding this 😊
I am thanking the Universe for having these four guys find each other .
Met Robert Plant this summer. My inner 15 year old self was losing her mind. Mighty, Mighty Zeppelin. 💫❤❤
Because this music was important to us, I'm 59, retired navy, it's so amazing to feel that it's important to you and other younger gentlemen and ladies. I envy you because you are embarking on a journey I wish I could live all over again. I'll happily settle with living vicariously through your reactions. Thank you, sir!
Thank you!! Also thank you for your service. Glad you're here means alot 🤜🤛
Envious indeed well said sir.
I SOOO agree with you ! I'm 60 and raised 3 girls by myself. I missed ALOT of concerts, but WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING! 😏🤷♀️✌️❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎶🎶🎶😎 Oh, by the way...THANK YOU SIR for your service! 🙏
I’m 60 here served for five years in the US Navy when we would go to sea It could be up to a year before we saw the states again because of this we had a whole plethora of new music in which to enjoy.

There's another version.
Features John Paul Jones on bass, so it's legit Zeppelin.
Made for the charity playing for change.
You must *watch* the video. It's going to blow your mind.

Hello, "BONJOUR" from France !!! You know, I'm 68 years old so at the time when I bought an album by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Genesis or other, it only existed on vinyl... So when I got to my room I put the disc on on the turntable, headphones on and I lay down on the bed to discover the album in total meditation. (What you say) It was the only way to listen to an album, or on the speakers with friends. Today many people “hear” music but they don’t listen to it. There is a difference between hearing noise and listening to music. It's reassuring to see decades later, young people like you still appreciate quality music. Merci !!!
Thank God I was privileged enough to see them live in 1978. I was just a teenager but I’m still a Led Head. Know every song and still own every original LP. The BEST ROCK BAND of all time!
finally; a TH-camr who researches the music before they listen to it! someone who wants to learn rather than just react. thank you!
So he did he research but doesn't know what a levee is? Or how it is pronounced? OK...
@@mikekenask6975 musical research. you know finding out about the band and stuff.
pronunciation is subjective.
there always has to be one .............
SalvoG is another reactor who does research.
I dunno. The first time people heard this in '71 they didn't research it beforehand, so imo it's not a genuine reaction.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am one of those older people , the world has gone mad but we still have our music and we are still young in our heads . Loving your words . CHEERS
The world hasn't gone mad, we're just old enough to notice what's happening. Agree that we are still young is our heads, these songs evoke great memories.
I turned 65 yesterday and I must admit the world has disappointed me in the last few years. Thank god we still can listen to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Allman Brothers.
I agree!
Todays tech is amazing and makes things easier in so many ways thankfully. But us oldies still connect with each other still hike and still dance (bones be willing 😀) to that music. You shoulda seen my 60th "60s-70s" theme birthday perty. We rocked !!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was just home from USAF Basic Training and heard LZ was releasing the 4th album. A friend and I drove through the night to Portland Oregon and stood in line at 4am waiting for the record store to open and get one of the first day releases. The record store was playing the album for the people in line before the doors opened, we were totally blown away. We got our records, drove home and wore out the albums
I'm 52, but hubby is 67.
He was born in 1955, and introduced me to ALL the rock of that era when we met in 1991. Here we are 31 years later and still listen to these tunes DAILY.
1955 was a great year! I l 7:41 isten to all these songs too.
I'm 64, my wife 51, but she could care less about Zeppelin. Such is life. 😅🤣😂
another 55 er here! Glad you are still feelin the music.... 65-75 was the renaissance pre digital. lovely
Zeppelin was at a different level, 4 unbelievably talented individuals coming together to produce timeless art.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Only three musicians but two of them were John Paul Jones and Jimmy page, with Bonham on drums and the greatest vocalist of a generation Mr. Plant.
@@patbrennan6572 Three musicians? What are you talking about; there were four musicians in that band.
@@patbrennan6572 Who is playing harmonica?
@@da324 Robert Plant would disagree with you
I think he was playing the harmonica through an amp to get that amazing sound. It's really his harmonica playing that makes that song soar. It's amazing how it creates exactly the imagery that the song is about. That's serious talent.
My favorite thing about Led is the way they go all out to creat something huge on so many of their songs. No limits. It's ballsy.
I'll be 71 in 2 months. Being old now is a fair trade for being young when this great music was made.
A young Robert Plant on that harmonica. The haunting vocal is accentuated by the harmonica with the dark and finality of the lyrics punching you straight in the face by the drum work on this record. On my top 3 best LZ songs, man did they ever hit a homerun with this one. NO BAND HAS A RIGHT TO BE THIS TALENTED! TY for reacting.
All facts man well said 💯💯. I always wondered who was on the harmonica. Robert is the man! 🔥
I love that you listen to the entire track before reacting. That bothers me when other people constantly stop the music. Btw, I'm 70, I 'm one of the folks you're talking about, thanks for the reaction! I just subscribed!
🤜🤛💯
The reason it touches you is not only about the content, but the fact that the music then had melody, harmony and rhythm. Nowadays, there is only rhythm and spoken words, no tunes to stay your head. Nothing to touch your heart.
Exactly right...
It’s all dead air. I’m fine thanking GOD for letting me be born in 1948, and able to grow with our music. What a great time. Got to see them 4 times, PINK FLOYD first time in the States , Stones all of them‼️‼️‼️what a sweet dream. I’m glad that you will keep it going‼️‼️‼️‼️😊
Led Zeppelin's music was alive like some dragon from the Dark Ages. This song and Kashmir, Trampled Under Foot, and so many more.
When Plant sings " going down, going down now" , it sounds like he's drowning...getting sucked down by a whirlpool of unimaginable chaos...This is the power of good music.
LED ZEPLLEN ARE GODS OF ROCK AND ROLL💃💃☘️
You can't go wrong with Led Zeppelin, they are still Classic Super Stars to this day, every song they have is Gold!
Another song I could never tire of hearing, it never gets old, this has to be one of the coolest drum beats in history
coolest harmonica too!!
One of the most sampled drum beats ever that's a fact
John Bonham was a beast!
This guy knows how to do a reaction. Close your eyes, listen, feel it and don’t stop! 💯
Most reaction channels would love to play tracks through without pausing or talking over, thing is they get blocked by the publishers if they don't, and Led Zepp's are among the toughest for copyright issues. It's only a matter of time before it happens to this video too.
Yep. Other reactions I'm "No don't stop now, the next 3 secs bring it all to life" I am just glad that "the young kids" are giving our music a taste.
I'm in my 60's, brown skin and a born and bred New Zealander.
This particular Led Zep track is probably my all-time favorite of theirs.
Fantastic!
No band could put their stamp on an old traditional like Led Zeppelin. This song, Nobody's Fault But Mine, In My Time of Dying, Babe I'm Going to Leave You, Gallows Pole.....one of the best bands ever.
66 years young and really like your thoughts. I appreciate the fact that you spend a little time researching the song. Thank you!
Every song of theirs is priceless. LZ is the Legends of all Legends!!! Keep up the LZ rabbit hole, you will be so happy that you have....
This recording of "When the Levee Breaks" _sounds_ like a flood: ominous, heavy, and exigent. The blaring harmonica sounds like a warning siren.
one of the most beautiful rock voices. they did it all.
I was your age when this album came out. Life was much different back then. We were at war we had the draft a lot of our brothers weren't coming home alive. The future was very uncertain. Music like this was our escape from reality.
You're my daughter's age. I feel so blessed that I grew up surrounded by REAL music; everything from motown to rock and roll. It's great seeing the younger generations discovering these artists and their work😊
The River also flooded in 1993 when the levees broke and flooded thousands of miles. The levees broke in New Orleans during Katrina and also caused huge destruction. It's a huge thing for southern blacks who've lived along the River for centuries and have been there before.
Rock and roll has blues roots and Led Zeppelin were all inspired by various blues artists. This song is fantastic - John Bonham has that “bounce” to his drumming and Robert Plant’s voice is like no other.
Real music from the soul.
Rather than a bounce, it is the renowned Led Zeppelin CRUNCH.
Bohnam recorded it in a stairwell at Headly Grange. Special set up. He is a legend. There is a good reason they quit Led Zeppelin when he died. (Edited)
Some might say inspired, some might say ripped off. Greatest cover band of all time.
@@nathanpapp432 that's why they give Willie Dixon credit on a bunch of their songs...so covered is more accurate than ripped off (though they did that a bunch too)
That harmonica was so fierce! Love it.
Soul music was the foundation of the music everyone I knew listened to in the 60's . Born from the delta blues. We loved that music. I had a fantasy to ride a bus through the Blues country, Mississippi, stopping at little towns, breaking down on the side of the road. Sit in the grass with an umbrella under the burning sum while the bus was fixed. I heard an interview with B.B.King, he said he sang in the cotton fields to pass the time with the other pickers. Can you imagine being there in the dust and heat and listen to B.B. sing songs? The reality of life and art.
I've been a Led Zep fan for over 30 years. This song still astonishes me and brings the same reaction today as the first time I heard it. It brings me great joy to see people find it and see their love for it unfold in the same way it did for me.
Being in my 60's I'm classic and young men like yourself brings back memories of hearing these classics for the first time.
LZ is a legendary band, their songs are like symphonies, they made you feel totally immerse in the lyrics and music. I’m glad we have artist like LZ because in these days music is not the same.
Truth! Music today is plain, washed out, white bread, soulless noise.
This is one of those few songs to me, the construct and how it's put together along with the talent is a phenomenon
🔥🔥🔥
“When you do what you love, man! That’s what makes you free!” Very wise words from a 29 yr old! 🥰
Thanks Kathleen! Life has taught me some serious lessons!
This drum track has been sampled more than any drum riff ever. Check out, “ Since I’ve been loving you” and “ in my time of dying”
I see "In My Time Of Dying" as the sibling of this song; the drums are a little bit New Orleans/big band
You're only 29 but you have a real appreciation of what makes music cool. And the guys in Led Zeppelin were younger than you when they wrote this, so age isn't a barrier
Robert Plant the singer of LZ is very interested in history so you will find lots of historical references in their songs both British and also American. the whole band were inspired by Delta and chicago blues ( as were most of the good British bands from the sixies onwards) Plant plays a mean mouth organ on this and other tracks. If you want to hear some more blues inspired tracks try since i been loving you preferably live at Madison Square Garden 1973 or You shook me babe royal albert hall 1970. do try some live performances they are brilliant. If you want to look at a very good up to date version of When the levee breaks try the version by Playing for change featuring John Paul Jones ( base player from LZ ) this is a collaboration by world musicians and is epic. The other two members of LZ who you need to know are John Bonham on drums and the incomparible Jimmy Page on guitar , who also is the producer. so much good music coming your way. As one of those older people you mentioned i must say it is very enjoyable watching you youngsters discovering this music. I think the film you were talking about is stand by me.
Thank you! So much to look forward to 😊
Thank you for the recommendation. I think that JPJ didn't get enough credit. He fucking rocks!!!
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Since I've Been Loving You (live) is one of my favorite songs by Led Zeppelin
Your forgot to mention the radical bass playing and writing skills of John Paul Jones. Listen to Heart Breaker all JPJ
Some music is timeless. Explore it all.
Just happy you are listening to music that your parents and grandparents listened to. Keep exploring
That's my all time favorite Led Zeppelin Song.
They drew heavily on the blues. Some critics even said they ripped off the blues masters. In my opinion I thank them for their interpretation of some of the great blues songs and for keeping the style going. LZ all-time favorite.
Page actually went back and credited many of the original old black blues he borrowed from and gave money to their descendants. Took awhile but he did it. Robert Plant sold all his rights decades ago with no regrets.
@Scott some folk singers as well. Stairway to heaven was a folk guy and marrianne faithful and others.
And They improved on the originals imo
@@Scott-jf1nh They stole the music and were ordered to pay by a judge. No need to sugar coat it.
Led Zeppelin is my fave all time band … so it pains me to say … but truth must be told JP lifted most of the songs note for note from penniless American blues musicians.. and gave them no credit nor money … but what a song … I mean what a song … ❤️🔥
@@hadawson72268 Most of the songs? Bollocks. Of course the first couple of albums they lent on the blues and were a bit naughty but they paved the way for thousands of bands that followed them. Every stadium act now owes a debt to Led Zeppelin and Peter Grant, a man who never had a contract with the band. It was all done on a hand shake.
YES to listening to LZ with headphones and eyes closed - it is a real *experience*! This particular song is a great example of how the music underlines the story being told: The way Robert Plant's playing the harmonica and the way he's singing, you hear the heaviness, fear and agony people are going through b/c of the flood. Fun fact: The drum track was heavily sampled by a whole range of Hip Hop stars like Ice-T, Beastie Boys, Eminem, etc. So cool!
When I hear how thoughtful and deep you are, it gives me hope for your generation. If I had a time machine I would love to show you around the 70s
I'm not a musician, but my son is, he's a handful of years older than you, and he's been playing (and learning) for 20+ years. When he first really "heard" Led Zeppelin, his curiosity went into overdrive... "how did they get that sound?" I was in my 40s and I took the sonic profile for granted, but because he was/is a musician, he introduced me to the intricacies and difficulties of creating that distinctive, customized-to-the-song aural environment.
I'm 61, and I'm still finding new ways to appreciate LZ and many other artists of that era. I'm really sorry that I can't say the same thing for a lot of the stuff that's being released today.
I like your approach to reaction videos. It's respectful of the artists and thoughtful.
Honestly, I'm just sorry that more people of your age range are only now finding out about the "golden age" of rock (and soul, and blues). There are years of really amazing recordings out there to explore!
Zep were VERY bluesy and soulful too, yhey also had CRUSHING power and technical ability on top of that. That's before you get to their finesse and huge versatility aswell. Jest band ever!!
What a great album I'm 61 Lucky enough to live through the glory days of rock and roll
The first time I heard ‘Hey, hey what can I do’- I think I was 16? 1984 - that moment I became a life long Zep fan.
A song about bein in love with a street corner girl - I feel that song in my soul. I’ll put that record on and go somewhere no one can find me, even 38 years later.
Thanks for the video ❤
They did every form of music perfect
Great to see youngsters like yourself appreciating the music of our youth.
Everything they did was PERFECTION! Robert on that harmonica!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Julie Manarin as usual Spot On!
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and have always loved them. They were all Masters At what they did and we are so lucky that they ended up together for as long as they did before Bonzo died. Also, we lived very close to the Mississippi River when I was a little kid and we would go there a lot. Definitely every Sunday afternoon after church my dad would drive us in the station wagon over there and it wasn't far away, and one place we could go would be to look down where there are all these locks. And as a kid I was just fascinated with not only how big and wide and massive this River was, but the barges would go in you know and then a close and then they would allow the water to drain down and you could drop this heavy barge down like 20 ft and then the gate at the end would open it would be now on a lower stage of the river. And then it took a long time to fill it back up to let the next barge enter. All of it was just fascinating. It was peaceful but just surreal almost the scope of it. So when I hear this song with that Relentless Relentless deliberate John Bonham drumline, and then you've got John Paul Jones being fairly busy on the base at Parts but it works perfectly and then Jimmy Page is guitar just says the wildest distorted slide texture it sounds like an animal and it's chaotic. And then Robert Plant just kills it on the harp. Just kills it what a great great texture. And his voice of course and delivery fit perfectly as always. But it gives me this feeling of a very large river that is just relentless, it doesn't stop it just keeps coming it just keeps coming and it's something to behold and it's frightening if you're in its way.
Led Zeppelin, much like the Rolling Stones, had enormous influence from American Blues. Good words. We are all students.
Favorite line: cryin won't help you prayin won't do ya no good "
This is absolutely my favorite Zepplin song. Love it and your reaction!
Just goes to show you that music can be simple but powerful. Not over produced, compressed or synthetic sounds.
GOAT of musical eras! ✌❤🔥
The opening drums on this track are legendary! Watch the Jimmy Page clip from "it might get loud" where he talks about the new drum kit the tech set up in the hall entry stairwell and that sound changed how drummers looked at recording forever. The harmonica and sounds Page puts down really give you a sense of the Delta being flooded. Amazing stuff from the GOATS.
Deffinetly has that Mississippi Delta vibe to it with some Zepplin magic thrown in. One fo my faves.
The GOAT song by the GOAT band!!!!!!
AND, this was the close out song on Led Zeppelin 4. What a great song to close on and leave us screaming for more.
This song is a journey. Jeez its so good.
My favorite Zeppelin song
"they were tappin in".. yessir. you hit right on it!
You were born too late! I'm 67 and I was blessed to have seen this band live in my teens & 20's.
It's nice that young people are interested in this fantastic music. It was only for a short time from 1968 to 1977 that such complex works of rock music were created. There were bands as talented as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep... all with completely different styles. Led Zeppelin has combined such different styles of music in their music. Blues, hard rock, ballads, folk and no piece of them resembled another.
The movie with the group of friends going on a hike was "Stand by Me".
In 2019 the Mississippi flooded enough that they compared it to 1927. There's an aerial photo of the baseball stadium in Davenport IA popping up through the flood waters.
Grew up listening to Zepplin
I'm 61 and Led Zeppelin is my favorite rock band. The way they mix blues with rock and roll is badass.
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS is an old acoustic blues classic. LED ZEPPELIN rearanged it, and it became a classic, love the harmonica vs.guitar duel. It wasn't a hit, but the B-side of the "IV" is the real treat
Haha! I'm 77 and just joined a gym for the first time because they've open 24/7 and have a pool. The music they play is so foreign to me it scrambles my soul ! Guess I'll need to bring Zeppelin
Led zeppelin was fearless, they explored every music from all corners of the world. Robert Plant was heavily influenced by all the masters of the Mississippi delta as well as Elvis. Their music is timeless. Even now I love how Robert is exploring bluegrass with Allison Krauss, his voice and his artistry is boundless. If you really listen to all the Brit musician from the 70's like the stones, Clapton, zep, Traffic, Fleetwood Mac, yardbirds..etc. they took the time to LISTEN! And understand the essence of the blues. Where their American counterparts could not grasp it or appreciate what was in their own backyard.
I appreciate your understanding of Jimmy’s goal, electric blues!
I'm glad young people are still listening to Zep
Thank you for taking your time to experience this song. Stand by Me I believe is the movie you are referring to. Great movie! I found Led Zeppelin in 1979. I was 13 and had no money for albums. I would wait to hear it play on my AM/FM radio. With only the DJ talking about the band and/or song I had only my imagination to understand the music. Hope you too will let yourself continue to experience this music. Thank you again.
Led Zeppelin an English band that always had a love for American blues. This is one of their tributes.
Interesting fact. In order to get the sound John Bonham wanted for his drums they recorded this song in Aleister Crowley's house in the front atrium with microphones hung from the rafters❤
What a good heart you have.
Music is the bridge that connects all the world's peoples ..
I was at Led Zeppelin's "Day on the Green" at Oakland California in 1977.
Time just slips Us by
This music is pretty well drilled into my subconscious, I listened to a lot of this 1968 to 1972, Led Zeppelin was the most listen to band in my Neiborhood. Songs like immigration song would create so much visual imagery it was like reading a book it would take you to another place.
Bought this album in 1972 for the classic, Stairway To Heaven, which is an all time great song, but this track quickly became my favorite on the album.
Thanks for respecting the art
The song is about the great flood of 1927. It affected about 26,000 sq miles of the Mississippi Delta. Hundreds were killed, and thousands more had to evacuate. It was first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929.
An amazing song that is a complete 180⁰ change follows this one, "Going to California" a true hidden gem in the dozens of the amazing Led Zepplin portfolio...
This is the album my big sister used to introduce me to Led Zep back in the 60's...Been a fan ever since.
My soul hears your soul... thank you!
💫💫💫💫💫 Thank you!!
That exhale at the end of the song is the perfect response. There simply are no words to do this justice.
Thoughtful insightful appreciative reaction🤘🏽
I always loved this soundscape feels so dark and threatening and sinister and surreal - you feel the storms and tension of waiting to see whether you’d drown(!)
Of course, that harmonica is insane, the whole track is amazing.
I was 14-15 when their first album was released, I was in a middle school rock band😁 and we were instant fans, we listened to every favorite album 1000 times til we knew every. single. note. (hello Beatles!)😆
At 18 in 1972 I saw LZ live with 60k fans in a FL stadium.
This is a blues song, LZ is a blues band! which I was too young to realize at the time.
LZ demonstrates how rock&roll is (mostly) sped-up blues with ‘metal’ instrumentation 😎
English blues rock was incredible. Not much blues was happening in the States at that time, except the old blues guys were still at it. But the English get the credit for embracing the blues and blending it with rock, and making the blues cool to a whole new generation. They respected the blues greats in America, who were largely ignored by American youth who were into pop, Motown, and dance music.
About the only two I can think of were Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Sly and The Family Stone. Both were integrated blues rock bands. Sly slid into the psychedelic side as well.
I like that you ran through some history before beginning. Nice touch!
Haa! I love it. Welcome to Zeppelin young’uns.
🍻
wise words beyond your years, there - ":do what you love and become free". I was lucky enough to do something I loved for 40+ years, until the company took it all away from me, but realizing it now as I face retirement - it did set me free.
Hey! Great stuff! This is the first of your reactions that I’ve listened to, and it’s excellent. Made me an instant subscriber. I’ve watched (and left behind) a lot of reactors, but I sense in your approach, worthiness. You’ve no doubt heard it many times, but I’m one of the old guys, who bought so much of this music when it was first released, and it’s beyond gratifying to know that for some, the best elements of the era weren’t lost, but fell upon new and fertile ground. Music is an additive thing. Just as music from an earlier time spawned the music of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, who knows what greatness could itself spawn. But first it must be heard and absorbed.
Stand By Me lol…classic.
One of my fav if not fav Zeppelin song. Thanks!
this is the history of music Led Zeppelin created great music. the guys were musician's before rock stars
Oh brother man! Speechless. The future is good with people like yourself on the earth.
