The drum beat is a colossal beast of a groove. Often sampled and frequently imitated, but never, ever bettered. RIP Bonzo.
❤️
This is one reason Bonzo is my favorite rock drummer, and not that other guy.
@@sourisvoleur4854Who's the other guy. If he's deceased & was of Canadian descent, he still deserves respect.
@@monroegodette6440 He does indeed. He was very, very good.
I am 70 and have been to two Zep concerts and I still listen to every song for fifty years now.
I was thinking, isn't it strange that music that took days to make is still being listened to and influencing us.
It's like talent was already there - lightning in a bottle, as they say
Me too.
man, I envy you
I'm listening to this on a Friday night flashing back to listening to it on a pink Atlantic 8-track tape over 50 years ago.
saw them in DC on the last tour. fantastic show.
Just goes to show, 100 year old blues songs never die
Zep is soooo diverse!!
My favorite band ever..
They do not disappoint!!!!
Thanks guys and thanks Led Zeppelin!!!!
When Andre pushes his headphones into his head, and Dominica, smiles her beautiful smile...we know we have a reaction! ❤️❤️😂
Love to the Merchants, from the States.
I think this band is going places. lol. This came out in '71 so I've been mesmerized for 50-plus years now.
This just never gets old. I think it is important to remember that a foundational reason you "feel" so much from this and some other LZ songs (as well as other awesome productions that represent the era of what is known as the British invasion of rock and roll) is the cultural absorption and co-option of American southern blues in the '60's in England. This song was written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. In my opinion, this is a perfect example of the genius of Jimmy Page. When you hear the original version, you do feel as though you are able to relate to it in a very real and emotional way. To be able to take these musical emotions inherent in the originals and produce a stellar rock song is, again, genius.
Agree 100%. Still a little questionable that the liner notes say WRITTEN BY Jones, Page, Plant, Bonham. Minnie & Joe would like a word…
Don’t forget the awesome drumming by John Bonham!
From the top!
The most insistent, driving, hard beat ever recorded. Plant is in top form on vocals and harmonica. Jones simple but fantastically complementary bass/rhythm. Whenever you need a final closing song for the day, turn up the volume and put this one on!
Robert Plant plays a mean harmonica 😊❤
You, sir, are correct! Led Zeppelin is on a whole other 🎸 🥁 🔊
Big smiles all round.
White water rafting in the laps of the luxurious Led Zeppelin.
THANK YOU. More zepp, more zepp. This song is from another world. Takes you in and never ever lets you go. Best band, ever.
Robert Plant puts his soul into every note. That's why he touches us so deeply.
Robert on that harmonica!! Everything they did was magnificent!
Robert does a great job on the Harmonica!
Bonham was playing the drums in the 3 story entrance at Headley Grange, with a couple microphones hanging above, it gave it that magnificent beat. Especially the open drum beat. The band lived together at the estate, writing & recording many songs for this album. They had The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio, this is where the black Labrador hung out with them, & the name of the song Black Dog. There is some home video of them hanging out there, & shows the black dog roaming around. Thank you for your reaction fellow Led Zeppelin lovers.
The ultimate driving song - trouble is you lose yourself in it and up with a speeding ticket
While sounding like a modern rock band, Zeppelin channels the spirit of Delta blues and the original melancholic song by Memphis Minnie. They had their feet in two worlds.
When she's talking about pulling you in...we call that " the groove ". Zeppelin were masters of the groove. Black Sabbath, too.
this is when a band takes a cover song and make it there owen Memphis Minnie would be proud of what they did with this
Its genius.
Its brilliant
Bonzo's drumming is relentless, just amazing RIP
They recorded this album at Headley Grange which was a country manor house in southern England. To get that incredible drum sound they set Bonham's drum kit up in the entrance hall at the foot of a vast staircase. One of the best albums of all time in my opinion.
Led Zeppelin IV is in my opinion far and away their best album. It is Zeppelin in their prime. One of the best rock albums in rock history.
One of my top 5 Led Zep songs.
Yup….always…..
The harmonica was the star in this song.
Recorded at Headley Grange (Jimmy's house for a while). They were able to get such a deep, rich drum sound by setting up the drums on the ground floor of the staircase, with microphones draped over railings 3 stories up. The natural "reverb" gives it that open sound with breathing room.
When the levee break I’m going to SHA-CAGO…SHA-CAGO (CHICAGO) going down going down now!
Sure, they're all great musicians and composers, great at improvising and finding that perfect note, tone, feel for any song, but what you don't have when they are apart is Zeppelin. They knew the first day they played together that there was something special when all four played together, the sum much greater than its individual parts. And it's that mystical, magical "other elements" that drove Zeppelin to become the greatest and most popular rock band of any time. Perfection.
Original recorded by "Memphis Minnie" and "Kansas Joe Mc coy" in 1929. You Tube has the audio available to get reference. The history is documented about the flood of the Mississippi River (U.S.) in 1927 that inspired the original song. MAD RESPECT to Zepplin for this banger 😎
At least Zeppelin gave partial credit to Memphis Minnie. As great as Zeppelin was, the one drawback was that they took so many ideas from other artists to create their classic songs and rarely gave proper credit.
This is probably my favorite LZ song, nice reaction guys
The texture of this track is a feeling of pulling you under water, which neatly sums up the story behind this song that was first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. x
Always love your reactions. ❤
When the levee breaks was recorded in the Grange hall in Britain and it had a three-story open foyer.
The music, lyrics and the way all 4 members performed together is why Led Zeppelin will never die. The GOATS. Enjoy your reactions.
Robert Plant can stir anyone's soul with his voice. He's still making great music. Most notably with American Bluegrass singer Alison Krauss. They've won at least one Grammy award that I know of, for their collaboration. They've put out two albums together. They make great music together.
This is definitely my favorite zep song ! Great reaction! Thanks ❤️
From the first time I listened to Led Zeppelin's mighty 4th album, "When the Levee Breaks" has been my favorite Led Zeppelin song.
There aren't any songs more badass than this one.
Agree! And the drum line -- perfection!
You two are excellent…..thank you from England.
Your comment about recently experiencing the excellence of their music struck me, in a jealous way ... I heard my first Led Zeppelin song in 1969 ... 55 years ago and still recall how it impressed me then. I still love listening to their music.
Yeah guys, IMO, Robert Plant, the singer for Zeppelin, is the GOAT of rock n roll singers! Thx guys, love your reactions
In amongst all of the comments about how stunning this drum track is... and believe me... I know just how stunning it is... the thing that so rarely gets mentioned with this song is Robert Plant's HARMONICA playing... To MY mind, it's equally as stunning.... I never, ever get tired of listening to every note he wrings out of it... and just how melancholy it sounds... Brilliant track but godness what a frigging album to put on... "Rock and Roll," "Black Dog," "Battle of Evermore," "Stairway to Heaven," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Four Sticks," "Going to California," and then ending with this. Bloody Hell, my 18 year old ears loved it when I put it on the record player having just picked it up from the record shop in 1971.
When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
This song still gives me goosebumps after 50 years!
Every time I watch any of your reaction videos, it brings a smile to my face. I love your smiles as you listen and your views. I know sometimes you get embarrassed, but you shouldn’t!! Your reactions are wonderful to watch and makes my day!! Bless, and thank, you!!!! ❤️🤘🤘🎸🎸
Dude,,, you go to bed with those eyes so lit and that great big smile on your wife............. You are both so lucky to have each other... GOD Bless, and Thank You for sharing your beautiful souls here.
The vibe Zep gives off is so unique, evertime I listen I feel like I'm home just chilling and being mellow . Fucking beautiful music 🎶
Yes! I've been waiting for this song. It's o.k. to say "Led Zeppelin" is your favorite band.
Yeah…that’s what I call my favorite zep song andan all time classic. Drums like an avalanche and soul for days…
Robert Plant on harmonica. And the phrase you’re looking for is “white water rafting”. And is SO much fun! 😁
Led Zeppelin, like so many British artists, was very heavily influenced by the early southern blues from the Mississippi Delta region and other areas. Led Zeppelin was a band who was able to convey the feelings of the original blues artists.
Have been listening to this for 30 years now and it still brings about a catharsis like no other. I am just so ecstatic during the song and after! Definitely an uplifting song music wise!!
My favorite Led Zeppelin song, along with Fool in the Rain (my favorite is whichever I heard last). The common factor? Bonzo's drums.
Another brilliant song that LZ unfortunately never played live except for Page&Plant a few times on their 1996 tour in a rather short version; such a shame.
I actually found one video here on yt where they played it live. Here... th-cam.com/video/rBMi6lN5wkI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GlY1VlFZ2LYT3T8D
@@nebojsatomicevic6800 Embarrassing, embarrassing because I have the Hello Twin Cities CD with the same recording of “Bloomington January 18th.” Unfortunately, the song was only played at the beginning of the 1975 US tour. The internet video is even better in terms of recording technology.
All the best and have fun with good music.
Yeah it doesn't have to be your favourite but listen to it three times and you will crave it
Robert also plays the Harmonica parts in this song
"...and then there's a big waterfall."
Zep fans know exactly what she's talking about.
The hi-hat sound like a steam engine train chuggin' down the tracks....awesome stuff.
The MAGIC of John Bonham
Your boy Robert on harmonica
Your both are sooo cute.
YAY YAY YAY OMG cant wait for this ONE!!! k goin in Weeeeeee...
Weeeeeeee indeed 😊
the best band ever.... and i mean ever...
John BobhamS drumming on this song just incredible
OH, DOMINICA!!! Hold onto your chair, Hon!!! This song is SO BLUESY!!! LOVE THIS SONG!!! You should, maybe, check out John Paul Jones' (bassist / keyboardist for Led Zeppelin) that he did in 2022: featuring multi-cultural artists from all around the world - they performed this song and, were called as a group: "Playing For Change" - IT IS AMAZING, AS WELL! I SO DUG IT!! But: again - HOW can you go WRONG with LED ZEPPELIN!!! :)
Bonzo's drum technician set up his new drumkit in the hallway of Headley Grange (recording location) and they found that the echo and sound from the multi-floor building were perfect so they left the drum kit in situ and hung microphones over the banisters of the stairs to capture the sound... hence the awesome sound.
ear candy AND shout out to John Bonham who was exceptional on this track..Jimmy Page was an awesome producer in the studio. Anyway sooooo good
Adore yous guys
Lemon Song is a MUST
Ok, so you've just hit one of the most epic drum tracks ever with this tune. For another very cool song with an epic drum track and great r&b guitar work, that many people aren't aware of, check out Nina Simone's cover version (Victor/RCA studio version) of the Bee Gees "To Love Somebody". Imho, it blows all other versions, including the original, out of the water.
perhaps the most underrated song from this huge band
ROBERT ! I am 68 years old and how many more time remastered has always been my favorite. I will be waiting for your reaction !!
Zepparella does IMO the best cover of this great Zeppelin tune.
You guys are great. Led Zepplin influenced tons of bands throughout the music industry, including Rush. Roberts voice has always been amazing. Thankyou for loving music.
You both rocking and trying to press led Zeppelin into your ears!!! It was awesome.
Robert on harmonica.
Just brilliant you feel like you are there, Delta blues meets heavy rock!
Even for Led Zeppelin this stands out ... song is a Monster !
Love LZ❤. And it’s White Water Rafting!! Go for it!!!
Great song choice.
Don't you just LOVE Zeppelin
Lol... you got me pressing my own headphones as if on cue! :)
Thank you once again for doing my pick! Love your reactions!… this song besides giving you a bit of a feel for the deep south of America and showing off some amazing vocals and harmonica playing by Robert, also definitely is intended to put you in a bit of a trance and have a psychedelic feel as well. I hope you enjoyed the trip! Rock ‘n’ roll!
Excellent! Led Zeppelin lV❤❤
This is my absolute favorite!
You two are the best.
Thank You for sharing with us.
I keep looking on your Playlist for you to listen to this song. It's truly my favorite Led Zeppelin song. It takes you to a different world.
BONZO is SICK man ! :)
Instant like... wish there was an adore button, I'd push that!
The GOATS….OF ALL TIME! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥BONZO AND PLANT, PLANT On the Harmonica! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is a 1917 blues song about an actual flood! This one live is even better! Must see, they live in the live performance!
Robert on harmonica ❤❤❤
Nasty pocket!!
When y'all vibe, y'all vibe! ❤
My heart goes out to the people of Kazakhstan.
I just found your channel the other day. You guys were doing a reaction to PF Brain damage and Eclipse. Loved it. But LZ is the G.O.A.T best ever. Really dig your channel. Keep up the good work ✌️
What a perfect reaction to a perfect song!
I love that your "ears are happy" 😁
You'd have to be very brave to take a LZ song on to perform, the atmosphere alone is unrepeatable. Great reaction but couldn't expect anything else from this track.
I'm Russian, but everyone who loves Led Zeppelin is my brothers!
