“They call me the hunter…that’s my name…” over a predatory savage groove that they build off of the resolving notes of the previous phrase. They turn a resolve into a groove and then layer a new counter vocal line on top of it; literally ripping the whole song inside out. Zepp is another world.
I remember lying on my orange shag carpet lol right next to the speaker loving Led Zeppelin in the 70's. They were and still are my favorite rock band that ever existed. They rock they blues they do it all with style like no other. Rock on Bro.
Stink face and headbanging from first note to the last!! You're feeling the groove and swing of the Hammer Of The Gods!! The Mighty Zeppelin delivers the goods once again!
Bonham hit those drums over 50 years ago and I’m still feeling the vibrations in my spine. There’s a reason the phrase hammer of the gods applies so well. It’s like the gods of Olympus rehearsing in the clouds above you, and they are stomping their feet.
Their earlier albums are so raw and pure and the live version of this is epic. They covered a lot of old blues tunes and took them to a level that will never be surpassed
Great reaction….now you should listen to the entire album in one sitting as we did in the old days of vinyl. It is truly an amazing journey from LZ. Great debut album. Ohh Rosey!
This is such a great song,I bought the second album on cd when I was 18 so 30 years ago and put it on in my car and I was hooked straight away on the incredible ride that is Led Zeppelin. I cannot put it into words how much they have helped me through good times bad times (sorry couldn’t help myself) but it’s totally true. Their music is still relevant,incredible and well always be around!! Best group ever for me 👏👏👏👏
I couldn't agree with you more! My brother bought the album when they came out, use to play it for me all the time! From that point on I was hooked!! Everytime in my life there have been struggles, I always have the music from back then. My brother always called it MIND MUSIC!
Great reaction. It's always nice to see young people get exposed to older rock music. You're almost surprised that rock music can exist like this. Theres nothing wrong with enjoying today's music, but what some of you young folks need to understand (and it's no fault of your own) is just how much the music industry changed. The industry of today is INCREDIBLY commercialized and marketed ( the emergence of MTV started this in the 80s). As of today, the leading genre of music is hip hop, electronic pop and rap. Rock music, as a result, has sort of become a secondary genre to the mainstream music, music that (without offense to the primary genres) is commercialized. And because of that's how the industry works, the rock music that DOES bleed into the mainstream ITSELF is very commercialized like the primary genres. It's tough to make it today because you need to have a sound, an image, a product and saturated. This promotes less flexibility between artists at the top. There is PLENTY of talent out there, but you won't see them in the mainstream. The biggest rock band of the last 20 years is the Foo Fighters, who are still a product of modern rock. Led Zeppelin on the other hand were the biggest band in a time when the music industry was fresh, new, and confused about how to make it's money. The formula was simple. MUCH more simple than today. Market the most talented artists and the most talented groups. Regardless of what they sound like. They are going to make good music because the musician ship is top quality. Additionally, Rock WAS the primary genre back then. Fast forward again today, you hear your rap, your hip hop, your pop, all commercialized. You hear your less popular rock/punk rock today, also commercialized. So it's always exciting to see young folks like yourself expose yourself to older rock music that *made it* just because the artists were world class musicians. With all due respect to the foo fighters, rise against, green day, Greta van fleet etc, replace any of Led Zeppelin's members with any of today's main rock artists and they'd drag Zeppelin out of the limelight. There's talent out there, but it isn't promoted by the industry. Back in the 60s and 70s, the talent made it's way to the rock genre, and it was NOT hidden. Congratulations...you are now exposed to some high quality rock music the blows away anything of today.
Yooooo! My son (senior in HS) and I have been watching your Zeppelin journey and every drop brings a smile to our faces. It's so fun watching the younger generation discover what made that era of music so special. Keep the journey alive! Zeppelin is simply put... the best!! Enjoy every minute. P.S. please look out for the live album: How the West Was Won...It will give you new perspective on fantastic songs.
LOVE how he's bobbing the head to keep beat, I do the same thing. It's mostly unconscious! Get called out for it sometimes, "What are you bobbing your head to? This part is a [instrument] solo." Me: You telling me you still can't FEEL the beat? Even when the drums die down? Even when it's a silent pause?Dude, do we even interpret music the same way?
the first time i saw led zep they did this as one of the 2 encores and stretched it out -jimmy played guitar with a violin or cello bow -i was awestruck to say the least my friend.....
always think about this record as ., going to the shop , getting it home in a bag , and listen to it for the first time, back in 69, and once finished , knowing a new era of music had begun . BZep AZep! What a closer .. well done Z!
Time for some live Led Zeppelin ! Try the songs Whole Lotta Love and Stairway to Heaven from the Madison Square Garden concert,1973. Prepare to be mind blown !
AWESOME...AWESOME...I couldn't wait till you got to this one cause it's my fav. Zep tune and by your reaction I knew you knew it was everything you described it to be to you. Your reaction made my day and now you have it to listen for the rest of your life....
Man this song blew me away too listening to a cassette with earphones. That bass intro and Page going off just is epic. Seriously how many debut albums are in this realm sonically. Very short list.
This song came about from various bits and pieces Jimmy had developed while in The Yardbirds as well as bits of blues numbers Robert ad-libbed. The whole thing crashes and bashes with an infectious groove that leaves you wrung out and exhausted yet somehow still exhilarated. What a way to end a debut album!
This debut was like four superb musicians got together and pulled out some bits of Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and Big Joe Turner, and then they said, "Hey,, lets turn everthing up to eleven during the next full moon phase and record some epic jams live off the floor nonstop for three weeks!!" Because Jimmy Page knew that all he had to do was let the wild stallion out of the gates and then hang on for dear life as they rode it. Explosive, passionate, raw and unstoppable...
I'm glad you recognize that this is their first album, it seems that fact is forgotten when listening. The bar was set high, but they leaped over it just fine.
You guys have a lot of albums to go through 10 ,second albums great houses of the holy album is great, physical graffiti is great they’re all great can’t wait till you get through them all 💖💖
Ya, that tune is ridiculous.. Debut album also ridiculous.. Many many faves but here's a few: In my Time of Dying.. 10 Years Gone.. Nobody's Fault but Mine.. Rain Song.. Cheers!!
Always good to see you my brother reacting to the greatest rock band on planet Earth LED zeppelin. Don't forget Lara Fabian and David Phelps even if it's on your private time the most popular viewed videos. Until next time stay well and smooth
They are type of band that you can't really put a label on them. They are their own lane, you will understand when you keep going down the rabbit hole.
You’ve done WLL from RAH. Now compare to 1973 MSG where it’s literally the show stopper. Another stunner is WLL from 2007… their last concert as Zeppelin…a one-off concert with Jason Bonham (Bonzo’s son) as drummer. They are still magnificent. And I’m not saying magnificent for their age. I’m saying they’ve still totally got it.
Saw them touring behind this album. It was everything you could dream of...Pagey in a big white cowboy hat. Cops turned up house lights cause people were standing and dancing during ...wait for it.. "Communication Breakdown". Irony in Jacksonville Fla...a first.
Watch them perform this song in 1970 live at Royal Albert Hall, and take in the fact that with the exception of Jimmy Page at that concert (age 26), no one in the group was older than 21 LOLOL
Zay, you may have to consult a specialist to remove the stank face from this final song on the album!! Lol Agree with your assessment of the incredible Led Zeppelin 1 album.
Saw Led Zeppelin Summer of 1977 at the kingdom in Seattle Wa and I will never forget it..
Saw Zepplin at the Spectrum, in Philly....Fantastic..
“They call me the hunter…that’s my name…” over a predatory savage groove that they build off of the resolving notes of the previous phrase. They turn a resolve into a groove and then layer a new counter vocal line on top of it; literally ripping the whole song inside out. Zepp is another world.
Well articulated my friend …….✌🏼&♥️
Another stolen song by my favorite band lol
Simply put-Best Band Ever ❤
You said it man. Gives you life. Led Zeppelin isn’t just a band. They are a way of life. The soundtrack of my life for sure.
The magic of Zeppelin transcends generations! My fave Zep song.
this, their first album, is truly more than just rock n roll. its still amazing to me and i've been listening to it for decades. it never gets old.
Nope, bangs every time❤
Never gets old
This is what it means, "Rock and Roll Will Never die!" Thanks for keeping it going!
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band…
Hey! Willy?
This is the definition of Rock, Rhythm and Blues in one song by one Rock Band!!
Live, Royal Albert Hall, 1970...must listen.
Royal Albert concert was just epic. If I could go back in time that's were I'd go
Nothing like this before or after….nothing compares.
I remember lying on my orange shag carpet lol right next to the speaker loving Led Zeppelin in the 70's. They were and still are my favorite rock band that ever existed. They rock they blues they do it all with style like no other. Rock on Bro.
Blown away. What a great, honest reaction.
This might just be the greatest debut album ever
It’s a contender for sure.
@@jenniferandrews1917 yep
Oh yeah! My older brother brought this home fresh out of the record store, and it took both of us a few days to scrape our jaws off the ground.
Yeah…this….and the Boston debut….
IMO it is the best debut album ever❤️👍
You rock dude! Now you feel what all of us oldtimers feel when we hear Zep, welcome to your awakening!
Stink face and headbanging from first note to the last!! You're feeling the groove and swing of the Hammer Of The Gods!! The Mighty Zeppelin delivers the goods once again!
Seeing them live are experiences I'll never forget.
Four great musicians whose synergy is abundantly clear.
This album was released and changed rock music forever.
Bonham hit those drums over 50 years ago and I’m still feeling the vibrations in my spine. There’s a reason the phrase hammer of the gods applies so well. It’s like the gods of Olympus rehearsing in the clouds above you, and they are stomping their feet.
It is so gratifying to see another generation deriving as much pleasure from this music as we got ...this music still has legs!Ty brother Zee
Their earlier albums are so raw and pure and the live version of this is epic. They covered a lot of old blues tunes and took them to a level that will never be surpassed
Hey Zay, loved the “yes” reaction you gave in the first 5 notes of the song!😂 When you know, you know. Zeppelin grabs us all like few others do.🤘😎
Love this one he was maybe 19 at the time but had the soul and voice of a seasoned veteran
Great reaction….now you should listen to the entire album in one sitting as we did in the old days of vinyl. It is truly an amazing journey from LZ. Great debut album. Ohh Rosey!
Oh girl…
This is their version of Jazz! The GOATS! 😎
BEST ROCK BAND EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Total freedom in music. My era. Loved it then, still love it now!!!
This is such a great song,I bought the second album on cd when I was 18 so 30 years ago and put it on in my car and I was hooked straight away on the incredible ride that is Led Zeppelin.

This live is amazing as well!! Jimmy with the bow on this too!!
just wait until you get a load of Zeppelin II.
Yooooo! My son (senior in HS) and I have been watching your Zeppelin journey and every drop brings a smile to our faces.

I was in 5th grade and my buddies older brother came home with it…. I put down my Beatles for a while …lol
Every Zeppelin purchase was a whole day off celebration
Goes harder than any song they did imo, your reactions are probably exactly how I look listening to this in the car
Zep doin How Many More Years. Howling Wolf. They exploded the blues.
now you know there was never any other band they was the greatest band ever
Time for some live Led Zeppelin ! Try the songs Whole Lotta Love and Stairway to Heaven from the Madison Square Garden concert,1973. Prepare to be mind blown !
This is built around two blues classics, "The Hunter" by Albert King with Booker T & the MGs and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years".
Probably my favorite led zeppelin studio track too
Yes I agree! ‘All those words in the dictionary!’ …top 3 LZ track for sure
An amazing album no matter what, but for a debut album, just insanely great. This is my favorite Zeppelin song, period.
AWESOME...AWESOME...I couldn't wait till you got to this one cause it's my fav. Zep tune and by your reaction I knew you knew it was everything you described it to be to you. Your reaction made my day and now you have it to listen for the rest of your life....
A few of Zepplin's earlier songs are blues covers,.
I think 'When the Levee Breaks' was written in 1932
Man this song blew me away too listening to a cassette with earphones. That bass intro and Page going off just is epic.
Seriously how many debut albums are in this realm sonically. Very short list.
You are right Led Zeppelin is pure greatness! The greatest ever and forever.
Led Zeppelin 2 is just as incredible.
And THAT, folks...is how you finish an album.
On to Led Zep II now. :)
Yessir!!
This song came about from various bits and pieces Jimmy had developed while in The Yardbirds as well as bits of blues numbers Robert ad-libbed. The whole thing crashes and bashes with an infectious groove that leaves you wrung out and exhausted yet somehow still exhilarated. What a way to end a debut album!
So hyped to see you're love for the GOATS. You got like 50 more songs to check out. Enjoy the journey
Bangers front to back 🔥🎸🔥🎸🔥
This debut was like four superb musicians got together and pulled out some bits of Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and Big Joe Turner, and then they said, "Hey,, lets turn everthing up to eleven during the next full moon phase and record some epic jams live off the floor nonstop for three weeks!!"
Because Jimmy Page knew that all he had to do was let the wild stallion out of the gates and then hang on for dear life as they rode it. Explosive, passionate, raw and unstoppable...
ZAY, you need to watch the video of them doing this song live in 1969, they always cranked up the intensity live.
Or the royal Albert hall show from 1970 ..jimmy’s birthday
Awesome love how this kid gets and loves.
Robert Anthony Plant:
..."Little Robert Anthony wants ta
come and play..."
EDIT: At 6:31!
Banger for sure !
Love it. The look on your face when the original theme came back at the end had me almost bust a gut! Zay, you're excellent!
Thanks so much Bill!
I love your reaction man, awesome!!
I love your and your friend's drama 😂
It's so befitting.
I love Led Zeppelin so much.
Please do morrrrre!!
I'm so happy that you are enjoying this great band.
You should listen to what is and what should never be by Led Zeppelin. It’s another great song.
I knew you were in for it with this one!
I'm glad you recognize that this is their first album, it seems that fact is forgotten when listening. The bar was set high, but they leaped over it just fine.
You guys have a lot of albums to go through 10 ,second albums great houses of the holy album is great, physical graffiti is great they’re all great can’t wait till you get through them all 💖💖
So cool man. Thank you!
I think this is better than Stairway to Heaven. True banger! Great reaction.
Stairway is my least favorite song and Zeppelin had been my favorite group since 1969.
My all time favorite Led Zeppelin song, it was inspired by Howlin' Wolf.
❤🕊✌🏼🇧🇷🔥
One of my absolute favorites. What new band could create something like this?
I wish they would
Great song. Great album.
Ya, that tune is ridiculous.. Debut album also ridiculous.. Many many faves but here's a few: In my Time of Dying.. 10 Years Gone.. Nobody's Fault but Mine.. Rain Song.. Cheers!!
Thanks for recognizing my youth was 15.
dude has a musical ear and spirit.....he needs to play an instrument like a guitar or the keyboards for the drums
Love it man
My copy of Led Zep I this song finishes at 4:21. Anything after is BONKERS to me.
Young man, you have fine taste in music, you will go far in life.
Always good to see you my brother reacting to the greatest rock band on planet Earth LED zeppelin. Don't forget Lara Fabian and David Phelps even if it's on your private time the most popular viewed videos. Until next time stay well and smooth
They are type of band that you can't really put a label on them. They are their own lane, you will understand when you keep going down the rabbit hole.
Jimmy used a violin bow on the guitar to make the noises.
WHERE DID U GUYS GO ?????
And when Bonham died they disbanded...No replacement possible. That's how good he was
It there'a one song that embodies everything that Led Zep is this is pretty much it, more than Stairway to Heaven
You’ve done WLL from RAH. Now compare to 1973 MSG where it’s literally the show stopper. Another stunner is WLL from 2007… their last concert as Zeppelin…a one-off concert with Jason Bonham (Bonzo’s son) as drummer. They are still magnificent. And I’m not saying magnificent for their age. I’m saying they’ve still totally got it.
Zep was rock n roll’s Tunguska event.
I knew this song would send you over the edge. I lost my freakin' mind my first time.
Some of the crazy guitar sounds toward the end of the song is because he using a violin bow to bow the guitar strings
Top 5 Led Zeppelin song for me
Saw them touring behind this album. It was everything you could dream of...Pagey in a big white cowboy hat. Cops turned up house lights cause people were standing and dancing during ...wait for it.. "Communication Breakdown".
Irony in Jacksonville Fla...a first.
cet album est phénoménal!....
Brutal comes to mind as a good word.
Bombastic!
Watch them perform this song in 1970 live at Royal Albert Hall, and take in the fact that with the exception of Jimmy Page at that concert (age 26), no one in the group was older than 21 LOLOL
Zay, you may have to consult a specialist to remove the stank face from this final song on the album!! Lol Agree with your assessment of the incredible Led Zeppelin 1 album.
Perfect!!!!!
Best band ever. Ever
4:30 here comes jimmiea cello bow
This is my top 3 of Zeppelin with Bring it on Home and You Shook Me
The Goats
So, do you want to try som me live from this album before you move on? I know you’ve already done WLL from RAH. But there is more
