Their love for american blues took me on a journey. I discovered Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Son House, Lightin' Hopkins, Freddie & B.B. King & many others. I love how the British musicians really took to the American black bluesman.
You shook me goes back to the 1930’s, it was recorded many times. It originated by Black Blues musicians from down South. I have heard many others version but Zeppelin really brings it home.
@@watchbizmatik yeah....but “call and response” originated in the American South. They were the work songs of prison work gangs, railroad workers...to keep the rhythm of the work. That was the original meaning. It’s kind of morphed over time to mean this....the voice imitating a guitar line or Vice versa...two musicians playing off of each other.
And don’t forget the reverse echo sound effect. The echo comes before the voice. They had to do it with cutting the tape and splicing it in and because the electronic effect didn’t exist yet.
The USA was invaded by English bands.. It was called the English Invasion in the 60's-70's. LOL> The Beatles The Stones Led Zeppelin Deep Purple Pink Floyd Black Sabbath. They grabbed USA Rock N Roll and Blues by the throat.. and changed it with a different flavour. It influenced all music that you hear today.. from heavy metal to hip hop.
@@dominicpelle7841 and they kept on coming for awhile too...Supertramp, Queen, Genesis, Traffic, The Police, Dire Staits......and don’t forget the Irish U2.......something in the water...
Remember that vibe from Pink Floyd- Pulse concert, Comfortably numb? So- these guys got together in 2008 and did an entire concert with Jon Bonham son - Jason Bonham. It’s called Celebration Day. Please check out Kashmir Live from that show. It’ll show you,at advanced age just how good these guys were/are for sure. ❤️This song is right down blues street and out on blues highway for sure ! Great reaction! 🎼🎶🎸🎸😎🔥
If you listen closely, you can hear laughing in the background after Robert sings: "....and I have birds that siiiiiiiiiiiiing" the second time. They were just talented 20-somethings having fun.
Led Zeppelin and many of the other early rock bands were wholly inspired by the Mississippi Delta blues musicians. As kids, they were all listening to Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, etc
This is easily my favorite Led Zeppelin record. I was a freshmen in High School and it just hit me and my buddies so powerfully. There was nothing quite like it out there at the time. This album was so heavy and rich with the blues influences that the British were embracing. I had loved the Yardbirds, Cream and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers out of England. So, good. This is still my go to album for Led Zeppeliin because every track is amazing. We were just getting over the Beatles break up and hear comes the group that was going to be the next British wave that would take us through the 70's and beyond. I have really enjoyed your reaction to this record. Since you really enjoyed the Harmonica at some point you will need to review When The Levee Breaks.
🙄 you just had to "re-traumatize" me by talking about the Beatles breakup! 🥺 I remember clear as day when mom woke me up for school & told me 😳 John Lennon was dead. 🤔 Same when Andy Worhol died. 😮 But yeah, the Beatles breakup just didn't seem real to a bunch of kids. 🤔 That's what we were, 🤗 kids digesting Tommy, 2112 & The Wall! 😒 On Acid & Shrooms! 🤣
Legendary isn’t enough for Led Zeppelin. These are Rock Gods. EVERY song on EVERY album is great or better. What’s my favorite Zeppelin song? It’s a tie between the last one I listened to and the next one. Put all their songs in a hat pull one out and that’s my favorite. Pick a number between 1-10. Now pick between 1-10 again. The first number album, second number track. That’s my favorite. They’ve all been my ringtone at one time or another. Please don’t make me pick. Their music is the gold standard. If you were a bar band you did not cover Led Zeppelin “the best you could” or you would get booed off the stage. No, there were one or two bands in my city that could one or two Zeppelin songs. Nobody else dared. Jimmy Page was too fast, Robert Plant sang too high, nobody could scream that primal scream, nobody knew John Paul Jones’ bass part, and no drummer could play John Bonham beats without a double bass kit. Bonham never needed one. It was epic, groundbreaking, heavy, hard, light, dark and bright, all things at once, familiar and unexpected, lavish gifts of sound. Magic. Some kind of sorcery Jimmy has been given to make the dark hopeful and light sorrowful, express the sweetness and innocence that comes with sadness. That alone makes them beyond legendary. The original deal they struck with Atlantic Records was unheard of. They had complete control and ownership of everything. What went in the album, on the album, how, when, where and who recorded the album. Jimmy Page produced every album, paid for the studio time and recording equipment and mixed the masters with the engineers. This was not done. They would go to isolated ares of England to do their writing and recording, by themselves with no distractions. Just concentrating on the music, honing it until it was perfect. And it was. They also produced, promoted and financed their own tours. Nobody did that. Paid for everything; hotels, planes, trucks and vans to get everyone to the gig. It was their own road crew, their own tour Manager, their own gear. SINCE they were paying for everything, they told Atlantic, they were more than entitled to not just greater profits from the record but MOST of the profits. And since the record company had nothing to do with the tours, Led Zeppelin should keep ALL the profits from the tours. Atlantic agreed and they signed the deal. Peter Grant, their Manager was a legend in his own right. You did not fuck with Led Zeppelin. That deal alone makes him and them legends. Great myth and mystery surrounds how they got a deal like that. Gangsta, before there were even gangs. Original. They hired all their own security, rented all the arenas, and they played to record crowds. They broke attendance records set by Elvis and The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Shows sold out in hours. They stopped having an opening act and it was just Led Zeppelin. And they took home ALL the profits. They played for three hours, sometimes longer. One or two encores became 3-5. They were a beast on stage, relentless, driving, inspiring, soulful. When you left a Led Zeppelin concert your body was all tingling and your hands and knees were shaking. You wanted to just run as fast as you could screaming from pent up adrenaline or joy, you knew not what, for you had gone through so many emotions you didn’t know which one to cling to. The performances alone make them immortal. And after the show? Holy Christ. The stories and tales and myths and legends about backstage at a Zeppelin concert, in the limo, back at one of the floors they have at the hotel, on the plane, on the town, out on the tiles, holding court, safe deposit box break-ins, police escorts, female escorts, male escorts posing as female escorts, The Shark Episode, girlfriends, groupies, girlfriends and groupies. I think one or two of them drank and maybe dabbled in drugs. Allegedly. The Songs. The Albums. The record sales. The radio play, (Stairway is 8 mins. Unheard of.). The Deal. The recording sessions. The Performances. The Tours. The, let’s say, Excesses. THESE ARE ROCK GODS!!
It is easy to understand While in the US the blues whas not apprieacited in the 1950ieas in the US is was alright in the UK, All lot of musicians from the US was going to the UK. The rockbands in the UK was heavily influenced by the blues in the early 1960ies. When Led Zeppelin got the blues back to the US it was a sensation.
Great reaction!👍 Led Zeppelin I is their foundation of the Blues. Lot of the songs are remakes of old Blues songs. This band took those great songs and made it theirs. I'm stoked that you're making the commitment to start at the beginning of their career. And they were in their early twenties. I think Robert Plant was 19! GOAT🔥🔥🔥
@@watchbizmatik plant was 20 and Bonzo 19 or 20. Jimmy was the oldest at 24, and had already been an accomplished session player in London for several years PLUS in The Yardbirds for at least a couple of years and had toured The States. He was definitely the leader in the beginning. He put Zeppelin together and picked the other members. He chose the songs on the first album, produced it,and paid to have it cut. Then he and Peter Grant, the band manager, also picked by Jimmy, presented the finished album to Atlantic records as a done deal. Atlantic gave them a fantastic contract and the rest,as they say, is history. Jimmy Page produced all of Zeppelins records and has produced all the remasters of them all, plus the movies and videos of their live performances....all the official ones anyway. There are hundreds of bootlegs out there.
Hey Bro' thanx for your reactions! This song sounds heavily inspired by blues because it is blues, classic blues. It would be hard to find a song that is more blues! This song was written by Willie Dixon in May 1961and he named it 'Blue Guitar'. In 1962, Earl Hooker wrote the lyrics and it was recorded by Muddy Waters as You Shook Me! Led Zeppelin IS a blues band! Cheers from Australia!
“Heavily inspired by blues” well its a blues song lmaoooo, but like you said they do a great job with adding the electric guitars in their own special way! Agreed
This song was written by blues legend Willie Dixon, the bass player for Muddy Waters on many occasions. One reason LZ was so successful is each musician new the roots of rock music - the blues, rockabilly, Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc., from the decades prior. They learned how to play the music the way it was written and played. Then they had some of their own twists while sticking to the roots. Rock bands of the 80s and beyond didn’t cut it because they learned from their heroes of the 70s, but didn’t learn the roots. Too many critical basic elements were lost resulting in subpar musicians in the 80s who had to use image and gimmicks to sell themselves. No substance. Nothing with feeling. Nothing that would last the test of time. I suggest going through all the LZ albums straight through. They progress over time. Every album has a different vibe.
You once asked for fun facts about LZ. They got no fun facts. But four reasons they worked so great together: Jimmy Page and JP Jones were seasoned studio pros and Plant and Bonham were young, raw, unabashed talents. Amazing combination.
LZ is a good example of the whole being greater than just the sum of its parts. The way the "pieces" "fit together" is where the extra comes from. LZ has four musicians of rare talent and skill who fit together without gaps or sticking points. Or we can use another metaphor, and say the band members simply gel.
There was a huge British Blues boom in the 60s. Many of these bands were well versed in traditional blues. Even though at the time Americans had largely forgot about the blues! I'm like you. Blues harmonica gives such a disposition of despair. I have two suggestions for you. What A Shame by The Rolling Stones and I'm A Man by The Yardbirds. If you appreciate Blues especially harmonica. You will love these. Keep up the good work!
It was a distorted guitar that you were hearing, at the beginning and towards the end, not a harmonica. The 3rd solo, after the harmonica solo, was Jimmy too. :)
I think Zep II and IV, may be their most popular. I may be wrong. Personally, their 1975 double album Physical Graffiti is my favourite. Thanks for starting at the beginning 💗
This is an old Willie Dixon song. To their credit, a lot of the early bands were doing blues covers, and staying pretty much to script. Lots of folks will disagree, but I think Zep 1 dropped, and they spent the rest of their careers chasing it. Lots of great albums followed, but the raw power of Zep 1 was never surpassed, for me. Buckle up and try “Communication Breakdown”
All rock music was inspired by blues thats where it all started. The brits like the Beatles and stones ect. Were listening to the old southern blues before most white kids at the time in the states. The Brits just brought it back here in the form of rock and the rest is history. Do some research.
Another on point reaction!! This is down and dirty blues LZ style. Yes - Page and Plant are students of American blues and played/sang blues before LZ was formed. Their rendition of the song is based on the Muddy Waters song (with some other blues lyrics thrown in) Here's the link to Muddy Waters if your interested. th-cam.com/video/lM91Fyh58Jc/w-d-xo.html This is another song that you should listen to live. LZ has such a large following not only because of the studio releases. It's also because of all of the live audio out there. The band live is just a whole different experience. They had the song in their set list routinely until late 1969/early 1970 so their are lots of bootlegs out their with awesome performances. Here's a link to a GREAT performance from Fillmore West 4/27/69 studio version ++++++ th-cam.com/video/Tcce0y6bh5M/w-d-xo.html For Dazed and Confused - I think you listened to the studio recording. This also is a song has to be seen live. This link is one of the best performances Madison Square Garden July 1973. - Seeing Jimmy playing with the bow is all that plus the jam is definitely a treat. They give everything in their live shows-every ounce of effort and leave everything on the stage th-cam.com/video/ZQgYn23Xvck/w-d-xo.html As for LZI - wait till you get to I Can't Quit You!!!
I in no way advocate for using drugs, but back in the late 60's early 70's it was all over the place in music. So said, this is a great song. Savoy Brown - Needle and Spoon th-cam.com/video/5GtIskyDHiE/w-d-xo.html
1968.Who even came close to this back then ? Ahead of their time for sure.
Their love for american blues took me on a journey. I discovered Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Son House, Lightin' Hopkins, Freddie & B.B. King & many others. I love how the British musicians really took to the American black bluesman.
I saw Muddy Waters front row center!
@@juliemanarin4127 Me too! In a small club outside Chicago ~1972!
Same. I concur!
Bukka White
A remake of a muddy waters classic
Nowhere have I ever heard the keyboards and harmonica played in this way extraordinary immaculate insane amazing 💯
BizMatik! I'm REALLY diggin this Zeppelin journey‼🔥
🤘🏿🤘🏿
Best debut album ever, ever!
You shook me goes back to the 1930’s, it was recorded many times. It originated by Black Blues musicians from down South. I have heard many others version but Zeppelin really brings it home.
Led Zeppelin from it's earliest roots, is a Blues Band. Their first two Albums were mostly Blues songs, and that's what made them famous.
That grin bro, exactly right
This is one of my favorite songs among others. Never got the chance to see them before Bon died. R.I.P my friend!!!
the heavy use of reverb in this song gives it such an eerie feel....love it
I have always loved the tone of Jimmy's guitar on this song with that fuzz on it. The call and response between Robert and Jimmy blows my mind.
What I love about this song is every instrument is showcased. This is a musicians song.
Pure Blues here...solid chill! Ty brother Biz
Was introduced to them in 82 by my first husband. Did the Zep marathon all weekend. No other has come even close to them. They're in my DNA!
fun fact: the "mirroring" of the guitar by the voice like an echo is known in musical circles as "call and response".
peace (from the UK)
Thanks fam i learned something new 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I was lucky enough to have seen them all, especially Zeppelin, Sabbath and Pink Floyd, best time of my life 😜🤟
They are the greatest rock and blues band of all time fo sho!!!.. .
Im not a huge blues fan but i are when it,s played like this best spin on the blues ever
I really love the fact that you don't edit. That is just so real.

@@juliemanarin4127 me too for Philly...I lived in Baltimore, Md at the time. Ended up on my couch with the rest of the neighborhood watching MTV.👍😎
Late 60's rock here. Pretty early days. This band , damn. They are so good even now. Find music like this today. Hard to do. So much talent.
my all-time favorite band seen them 4 times never disappointed
Your reaction is 100% real I've been saying this since the beginning Bismatic The real deal
If you listen closely, you can hear laughing in the background after Robert sings: "....and I have birds that siiiiiiiiiiiiing" the second time. They were just talented 20-somethings having fun.
robert plant and john bonham were 18 and 19 when LZI was released... still fuckin bonkers to think that they were like my age
Led Zeppelin and many of the other early rock bands were wholly inspired by the Mississippi Delta blues musicians. As kids, they were all listening to Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, etc
Going down the zeppelin rabbit hole is a damn good thing ... You've got good taste in music ...
The blues had a baby and they named it rock n' roll.
I always loved the fact that they took turns to do a solo, organ, mouth organ and guitar.
You shook me Robert❤❤❤❤
Nobody better! I just love them!
lmao, we have the same zeppelin face. love this song
This song totally shook the year it was released, back in 1969.

That was Jimmy Page on guitar that Robert Plant was singing along to. The only harmonica was the instrument after the organ.

Rock and pain came from the Blues. Very correct.
Anthony V Very true especially the Korn song Daddy. That has to be the saddest song because it was true.
Is this the remastered version? I can hear backup organ in my left ear that I don't think I've heard before.
Okay, if you like harmonicas, try "Hook" by the Blues Travelers.
The chord progression used is called the 12 bar blues. It is the basis for most blues/ rock music. Very basic, goes waaaaayyy back.
More please 😅
you would like How Many More Times off the same album an often over looked song but worth a listen
No your French is perfect, 💯

Here's a link to a GREAT performance from Fillmore West 4/27/69 studio version ++++++ th-cam.com/video/Tcce0y6bh5M/w-d-xo.html For Dazed and Confused - I think you listened to the studio recording. This also is a song has to be seen live. This link is one of the best performances Madison Square Garden July 1973. - Seeing Jimmy playing with the bow is all that plus the jam is definitely a treat. They give everything in their live shows-every ounce of effort and leave everything on the stage th-cam.com/video/ZQgYn23Xvck/w-d-xo.html As for LZI - wait till you get to I Can't Quit You!!!
Biz, plant was influenced by Muddy Watters a one of kind blues phenom and the early blues performers in America
If Zeppelin is a rock band, how come they got sued by all those blues artists? Just sayin.... greatest band ever, because greatest fusion ever.
If your enjoying zeppelin check out the yardbirds.
I in no way advocate for using drugs, but back in the late 60's early 70's it was all over the place in music. So said, this is a great song.
