It’s great for us oldies to see young people discovering the brilliance of bands like Led Zeppelin that we grew up with.
It makes me jealous of you guys! Wishing I was born back then!
John Paul Jones toca teclados também. Ótimo vídeo! 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇸
I agree.
My first concert was Zeppelin in 1977 as a 17 year old.
And now 60 years later their music is still at the top
Of course I'm still a Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath fan
@@StaceyRPGReacts if this was Knebworth Festival (which they did play in 1979) I would have been there.
Especially the sh** salad that the music industry is shoveling at the younger people these days and pretending it is music
this drummer...is well known by all , as the greatest ever by the way.
That is highly debatable, though he is up there on the list. I would put Neil Peart and Danny Carey over him (though they are my favorite 3).
Love Zepplin but Neil Peart is amazing...
John Paul Jones plays all keyboards, mandolin and bass guitar and he’s an original founding member.
He was a studio session musician with Jimmy Page in their earlier years.
Love your enthusiasm for Zeppelin !!!
He also played bass while playing the keyboards. The bass tones were programmed to a pedalbox. Quite nifty!
Multi Talented
He was truly one of the unsung heroes of Rock; SO under-appreciated!
He also worked in a lot of the arrangements. He is a genius.
Everyone is a star in this band.
This performance was epic. Kashmir is one of Led Zeppelin's greatest songs, and was inspired from a trip to Morocco. Some of the sounds you heard were Middle Eastern scales incorporated into the song. The keyboardist was John Paul Jones who was with Led Zeppelin from the beginning. He played a keyboard like instrument in Stairway to Heaven, and keyboards were used in many other Led Zeppelin songs. All the musicians in Led Zeppelin are some of the best in rock music. Great reaction, and if you do more Led Zeppelin, I would recommend Since I've Been Loving You live at MSG 1973, Black Dog live at MSG 1973, or a song off their first album called Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.
I'd also recommend playing some of the performances from 68/69 when the band began and they were playing on Denmark TV.
Earlier times he played a Mellotron which was a complex keyboard that played a bunch of tapes of things like strings and flute, etc. The grandfather of modern sampling keyboards.
Bonham at work is mind blowing. Ioved the way he got your attention
The studio recording of this song is sublime.
Bonham inspired me to play drums. Great Zep tracks that Bonham stands out on are:
When the Levee Breaks
Achilles Last Stand
Out on the Tiles
All three incredible songs and many more
For me, one of the songs that has Bonham's best and most intricate rhythm is Candy Rock Store. I asked a friend of mine who is a drummer to play it and he confessed that he found it very complicated.
Achiles last stand, for me, it´s the best Led Zeppelin song.
Fool in The Rain too
I was 14 years old and with my dad at a market in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We were posted there with the US embassy and it was the first month of us having arrived. I saw a Led Zeppelin greatest hits cd on a random shelf in the market and told my dad I wanted to check them out cause I’d heard a lot about them. He was pretty stoked as he had all of their original vinyls. He bought the cd and we listened to it in the car. I’m 33 now and they’ve been my favorite band ever since that day.
The best way I can describe this song “hypnotic” or “mesmerizing”.
Like much of Zeppelin's music -it hits hard the mind, body and soul.
I've also heard it described as "unfulfilled anticipation"
The band broke up after JB died. They just knew they could never find a replacement for him. Btw, you should listen to Dazed and Confused and When The Levee Breaks. Two very different sounds from Zep. One showcases the Bass guitar skills and the other is a fantastic harmonica and guitar composition.
And DRUMS!!!!
Add 'Bring it on Home' to that list, please.
Oh man! Dazed and confused is a step up. I hope Stacy takes it on board 👍
Another great song is “When the Levee Breaks” also the live performance from Madison Square Garden 1973, “ Since I’ve Been Loving You”.
An absolute timeless classic.
For me the best thing about this performance is Jimmy Page with that vintage Danelectro guitar. The subdued but amazing riffs throughout. Letting massive chords ring into the arena.
LED Zeppelin FOREVER, FOREVER LED Zeppelin!!! Greatest band of all time. 🥁☮☘
Kashmir, the song, just like the land it's named after, is beautiful and exotic. One of the most unique songs ever performed by any rock group, and my favorite LedZep song ever.
There were keyboards in Stairway. John Paul Jones (JPJ) is the fourth member of Zeppelin.no personnel changes ever in Zeppelin. The same four guys throughout, each immensely talented in their own way. JPJ played bass, mandolin, keyboards…….and if keyboards and bass were needed at the same time, he played the bass line with foot pedals. He was and is a top arranger, and is often called the glue that held everyone together. There were three pretty immense egos inZeppelin, whereas JPJ wanted to stay out of the limelight and did not seek exposure or fame. Some mistakenly think he was held back, but no….he wanted to maintain anonymity and be able to walk the streets in peace. Bonham followed Page intuitively during those long guitar solos, and JPJ stuck like glue to Bonham, providing the solid bass upon which everyone else could soar.
Good discussion as always. Glad you gave a shout-out to JPJ preferring the background. I think I heard a year or so ago that Page/Plant actually urged him to step up into their world a little, but like you noted, he stuck like glue to Bonham, who didn't seem to mind at all, and for sure respected him as an equal. I love the chemistry b/t the two in MSG "Dazed" and the Royal Albert "I can't quit you, baby"! I also don't think it's remarked upon enough that, as you said, there were never any personnel changes in this band. I think it strengthens any claim for the "greatest/best" title. Speaking of Best, AND Stu, if you leave them aside, The Beatles were "pure," but: the Stones, The Who, Deep Purple, others--THEY have "periods" that most people recognize and cite ("Stones 67-73," or some such): People may throw a little shade on '79's ITTOD, but overall, Zeppelin, what Robert called "The Ultimate Quartet," were as consistent in their lineup as they were in their excellence of output.
Listen to Kashmir live from Celebration Day, 2007. They are in their 60's and are still incredible.
Both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page have stated in the past that they believe Kashmir to be their greatest creation. I would not disagree. It's a beautiful masterpiece.
Also, Robert Plant has always used his voice like an instrument. While there's no harmonica playing in this, Robert Plant is phenomenal on the harmonica as well.
I think "Stairway" or "The Rain Song" is the best. Sorry Mr Page and Mr Plant. To each his own.
Dazed and Confused & Since I've Been Loving You for me.
You Shook me All night long is his best Harmonica ..
Stairway to heaven had the keys as well ; it’s the ethereal flute like melody
The drummer is amazing as during zeppelin songs when the keys are being played you would swear there was also a bassist but that’s all Bonham carrying the rythym
Also the drummer wrote the best of this song with all its bombacity
When he died the band died forever
Bonham is incredible on this. Also JPJ is keyboard/ bass/ mandolin from the start (he tended to stay off camera).
Great song, great reaction!
Going to California is a nice one to follow up with; it’s another different style.
John Paul Jones plays Bass, Keys and Mandolin so in this case he was on Keys. The song has lots of textures weaving around in it, it’s also got a bit of an eastern vibe about it. 🌹
John Paul Jones played keyboards and bass for Led Zeppelin throughout their run. He also played mandolin live, and would play bass with foot pedals when playing the keyboards on live perforances also.
Great reaction! Led Zeppelin performed Kashmir live at 02 Arena in London in 2007. Jason Bonham plays the drums. It's a great performance!
My brother was working in a music store in Birmingham UK when John Bonham was wanting to buy a drum kit for Jason. My brother played drums for Tobruk and couldn’t wait to show his talent. Always used Bonhams sticks when playing!
They played the soundtrack to my teenage years. Fantastic music! Perfection.
Dazed and Confused is another long journey that starts out very slow and bluesy, but will take you to many other places. All 90 or so of their songs are incredibly well crafted and produced, and there are transitions to almost completely different songs inside of every track. All four of them are virtuosos on their instruments. John Paul Jones, the bassist, also plays keyboards, and adds other sounds when needed. The greatest band of all time.
The polyrythm of 4/4 and 6/8 repeating in circles is hypnotic.
Bonham was the greatest drummer ever!
So glad you are enjoying these masters. As you like the drumming you must listen to the track Moby Dick - it is THE show track for Jon Bonham who produces an extraordinary solo. The others never new how long Jon would play for so just left the stage and let him rip - including an awsome bare hands section. Truly one of the Zeppelin classics
RIP
Yes! So as Jonesy, Plantie and Pagey 🥰
No argument from me!
Do you think Stacey is ready for Moby Dick? I believe a few more songs before the drum solo. That's the way it is at one of their concerts. Regardless, she's gonna love it! 🥁
The musician playing the keyboards is John Paul Jones. He's one of the founding members of the band and he is also playing bass with the foot pedals. Very underrated and the band would not have been anywhere near as good as they are without him!
According to Zep lore, this song was inspired by a trip RP and JP took thru the Moroccan desert. John Paul Jones is playing the keys. He's one of those who plays all instruments at a high level. Legitimate genius. Quite a shy guy, so he doesn't get proper credit.
try "Dazed and Confused", taken from the Madison Square Garden '73 concert. it's around 26 minutes long and epic.
also "Since I've Been Loving You" and "The Rain Song" from the same concert.
or, for a short song, give "Immigrant Song" a blast.
there are very few "bad" songs in Led Zep's discography.
have fun.
My all time favorite Zeppelin song. From the first time I heard it 48 years ago.
Robert Plant says he'd prefer the band be remembered more for this than "Stairway to Heaven".
There's also an amazing version from 2006 with Jason Bonham on drums I think you'd enjoy.
The keyboards you're hearing I believe is a Melotron, it was used on the album, John Paul Jones is playing the keys and several different sounds and instruments on it. He's also playing the bass guitar with his feet. He also played it on Stairway.
John paul jones been in the band since 1968 he plays piano 🎹 bass mandolin long bass guitar 3 neck electric acoustic guitar
JPJ has played bass guitar and keyboards since the beginning. And as a musician including drums, there is no greater pleasure than watching Bonzo just totally go nuts.
They have a ton of hits and such an astounding variety, you have no idea. They have an incredible variety just within given albums, and also within their final album before John Bonham died, In Through the Out Door, which contains several gems. Southbound Suarez is a personal favorite of mine from that album, but the next song on it, Fool in the Rain, is an absolute masterpiece and you've got Bonzo doing some really intricate difficult things. It's just fire all the way around and the story itself is quite clever.
11:16 All us old bastards who grew up with these legends from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Doors, Jimi, Janis, Nazareth and later on Thin Lizzy - all of them faught for female rights, against war, against drugs (that sadly killed many of them) - these were true musicians, way ahead of their time and made the foundation for newer genres like metal and bands like Metallica, AC/DC, Gun's and Roses etc etc - and later on Symphonic Metal / Nightwish and Epica - bands us oldtimes love. Much of the music and lyrics are a lot deeper and meaningful, than just the lyrics read directly. There are deeper substances behind the lyrics - which you might have realized by now in both Led Zeppelin and Nightwish.
I would like to point you into Deep Purple and their 'Sweet Child in time' it's legendary!
You could also go fore Phil Lynott (from Thin Lizzy) and his tribute to Elvis - 'King's call' - with legendary Mark Knoffler on guitar, (Dire Straight). Gary Moore were childhood friend with Phil Lynott - Gary Moore - 'Still got the Blues' - legendary guitarist.
Other Led Zeppelin - 'Immigrant Song'
Nightwish - you are ready for some of the incredible masterpieces:
'The Greatest Show on Earth' - Tampere 2015 (Remember to stay on until the video is completely finished, because the speaking is an important part of the song.
'Dead Boy's Poem' from Buenos Aires 2018.
'The Poet and the Pendulum' - Wembley 2015
'Shoemaker' from Human Nature album 2019.
'How is the Heart' - Planet Rock Radio 2020 - only Troy and Floor in this incredible performance (Troy calls Floor's voice for Stratospheric - and that's pretty close to the reality)
The Greatest Show on Earth is such an experience 🤘
Add some Nazareth, Vigilante Man, Kentucky Fried Blues, Expect No Mercy❤❤😂😂
Thin Lizzy is the Shit!!
Their song 'Since I've Been Loving You' from The Song Remains the Same is an outstanding blues song that has one of Jimmy Page's best guitar solos.
The song has a very Arabic vibe...... That could have been their last show in England 1979 ,I am not sure since Bonahm had died in 1980 ...the very last show with drummer John Bonham was July 7th, 1980 in West Berlin Germany I was planning on going to see them in concert until I heard the news that night when Bohham had died. .I was only 6 years old when I first heard Zep , my older brother had a good stereo in his bedroom and our house was small and I heard some music and not knowing much but familiar in general with music in the house because it was played a lot on the radio and records ..The bass and drum rhythm with clear cymbals were so intriguing to my ears and I asked my bro who is that and he gave me the brand new lp cover of Led Zeppelin II and I just stared at it because it was so strange for me at the time and they just have been rent space in my head ever since along with the rest of the world that discovered them and welcome to the club
Can’t remember how I got onto your channel but I love your response to music I grew up listening to.. from a 66 year young rocker! Lucky enough to see Queen twice in concert! Led Zeppelin.. classic! 🏴✝️🇬🇧🙏🏼
John paul jones did play the organ in stairway too heaven live 1973 from the movie song remains the same
Nice to see you Stacy!
LZ has been a favorite of mine for 40 years. I saw them once in Los Angeles in 78, it was amazing. John Bonham isn’t called one of the GOATS for nothing. That feeling you describe is Led Zeppelin and what we all love about them. Intensity, with romanticism and passion, with some sick guitar riffs. You’ll notice as you listen to LZ that Bonham never does the same fill twice. Just like in this song, the spaces in between sections, usually filled in with drum beats. He NEVER repeats, not once, ever. Check it out you’ll see.
Always four members of Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones plays bass and keyboards (his keyboards produced the “flute“ sound in Stairway To Heaven)
You now MUST listen to “Dazed And Confused“. Trust me!
(Studio version, if possible)
I first heard them when I was 11.
This was in 1972, my friend and I went into his older brothers room and listened to their first album.
I was hooked!
Was supposed to see them in 1980 just before Bonhqm passed.
Enjoy their catalog. Do No Quarter next!
Whole lotta love was 1969 and Kashmir was 1975, but Led Zep had put out a lot of material between those songs.
Drummer John Bonham was legendary and used many odd beat signatures which he worked so well into the performances.
I was 18…and I have never listened to music like I did before! I told you they are their own genre! Grew my hair out after that! 👍 They are beyond cool…the are the GOATS. If I may suggest…do them song one, album one. And your your way through all their work! SVR and Double Trouble would be my suggestion!
Can tell you really dug it. Zep will invade your soul and transport you to another place in time. Your response was exactly what they were hoping for, I'm sure. Have a great day all ✌️❤️🎵🎶
Mixing the time signatures is sorta one of the things that makes this song such a standout. 4/4 percussion with 6/8 vocals laid on top. Still cool all these years later.
Actually, on the verses the vocals follow the drums in 4/4. In the verses, the keys and guitar are in 6/8. They only match the drum beat every 12th beat. Some transcribers make it 3/4, but don't see it as accurate. They use the blues 6/8 a lot.
Binary beat songs are powerful and amazing.
Check this song out when they did it live at the Celebration concert decades later, Stacey .Amazing! When I saw them in 1975 in Long Beach, Calif. the Physical Graffitti album had just been released and they did this song there for the first time on tour. Robert was in an interview and stated he hopes people will like this, eventually, over Stairway To Heaven. He does . Have fun diving ever deeper in to ALL their album cuts and concerts. Indiana waving, again.
I was a senior in high school when I saw them live. They had released 2 albums by then. It was my favorite concert out of many I ever went to. They closed with a "Whole Lotta Love" and came back for 5 encores. The last time they came out, Robert said "We're out of songs!". I was standing on a metal folding chair near the stage by then and the crowd started shouting different song suggestions. They ended the concert with Elvis Presley's Blue Suede Shoes.
This is their favorite song, Plant wrote I’d while traveling across the Sahara Desert, he loves Morocco & goes there often. It took them a few years to get the instrumentals the way the wanted. Plant & Page after Zeppelin, worked with musicians from there & toured too. You can learn so much about them, listening to some interviews & documentaries. It’s all so very interesting, things I didn’t know while being a fan for 50 years.
Great and honest reaction as usual. Congratulations.
To see what the musicians and bands of the sixties and seventies were made of, those who wrote the book of modern music, you just have to check out the same Kashmir song 40 years later live on Celebration day with Bonzo's son on the drums. More than 20 million people were left without entry.Its gonna blow your mind.
Keep on rocking ❤
Greetings from Barcelona
I'm 59 and been listening to them for almost 50 yrs, It only gets better! The greatest Rock & Roll band ........ Listen to "In the Evening" , 'Ten years Gone" to name 2 but there is so much more. My one wish would be to get to see them in concert, but I know thats not possible. I envy all that have. Robert Plant also has a-lot of solo albums from the 80"s that are very good. Love your reaction!
Stacy I’m just loving re-experiencing these faves with you // like Led Zeppelin // you are so tuned in and heart centered🤎
I’d give anything to have a chance to time travel you back to seeing Kashmir live w a full Egyptian orchestra as I did ( including when the Plant - Page tours happened in the (80s or 90s)…. Keep it up! I have a lifetime of suggestions for you!
Rock. Gods. Excited for your Led Zep journey!
John Paul Jones plays the keyboards here. He is the Bass player, and has been a member since the beginning. Jimmy Page was a member of the the Yardbirds, and knew Jones from the session works they did. They formed this band calling it the New Yardbirds, but the record company who had the rights to the old Yardbirds objected and they had to rename the band, and chose Led Zeppelin, then they recruited Plant and Bonzo (RIP).
My veery first concert was September 4, 1970 Led Zeppelin at the Los Angeles Forum. I remember very clearly them coming on stage and opening with "The Immigrant Song", which had not yet been released, as this was the Led Zeppelin II tour. They were honestly larger than life, Robert in sprayed on jeans and hair three times the size of his head. I recorded the show on a cassette player I snuck into the concert, but the tape was later eaten by a player ... fortunately, somebody had made a bootleg titled "Live on Blueberry Hill" (one of the most famous Led Zep bootlegs) from that concert, so I still have it that I can listen to. I saw them three more times before John died and they stopped playing. Great memories, and one of the best reasons to be this old! As a former drummer, I appreciate Bonham's playing, though he's not my favorite. The "solo" moments you discussed are called "fills" (as in filling the empty space). Also, the keyboards were played by bassist, John Paul Jones, a multi-instrumentalist, It's fun to be on your ride, learning about music.
Everything Led Zeppelin does is intense in some way.
An interesting thing about Led Zppelin is that two of the members, Jimm Page (guitar) and John-Paul Jones (bass/keyboard/whatever) were session musicians for several years. That means they were employed by the studio to "sit in" with bands that were recording and add any background guitar or other instruments that were needed. So they were both capable of playing many different styles of music, from jazz to folk to country and rock music. And when they went into the studio to record their first Led Zeppelin album, Jimmy Page designed it for American FM radio. The format in those days was to play 20 - 30 minutes of music between commercial breaks, and he wanted the album to be able to be played an entire side at once. So the styles of music shift from song to song to make it more interesting for the listener. Led Zeppelin can be listened to one song at a time, but it would be a really interesting journey for you to start with the first album and react to the songs in order. That way by the end of the first album, you will get a good idea of their range and also see a launching pad for where they will go throughout their career.
For someone who says they don't know much about music, you always pick up on some great aspects of the songs. You talked about the "chill and heavy" aspect of Kashmir. That is intentional, and it's reflected in the band's name. Led (spelled that way for pronunciation) evokes like the metal lead, which is very heavy, obviously. And Zeppelin is a lighter-than-air aircraft (example: the Hindenberg) which of course is light and floats in the air. You don't always get both aspects in every song, but on almost all of their albums they do have moments of lightness and very heavy music as well.
Four of the finest Rock musicians to ever live. They found each other, and created musical genius. John Bonham was a beast on drums. Some say that Animal from the muppets was kinda modelled on JB. His son, is also a great drummer in his own right.
Kashmir is more a progressive rock song, as are many Zeppelin songs, but many are short sharp rock or blues rock songs.
The terms you might have been looking for could be "laid back, but heavy stomping", or "powerfully dancing rhythms". "Bonzo" was one of the most influential drummers in rock music, maybe as influential as Keith Moon from The Who (the guy who invented modern rock drum playing with a lot of toms and being the first rock musician who was destroying hotel rooms as his trademark).
Much of their magic is the small differences from repetition to repetition, which make for a great composition and arrangement.
John Paul Jones, here at the keys, is one of the most underrated bass players ever. He switched from keys to bass on the fly in the concerts.Very busy and musical player. The keys he liked to play are electric organ and mellotron. Analog instruments before the synthesizers took over. On bass, he had a great technique playing with the pick. The rhythmically sloppy style of Jimmy Page made things sound organic, and the whole band always came back together to hit on all important beats, because they were fantastic live and studio teamplayers. Something many modern bands are lacking. Practice as a band!
That's how they became a legend and style-building for generations of rock musicians after them.
I like your reactions very much. Please keep them coming!
Song Remains the Same/The Rain Song.
So much brilliance, I weep profusely.
The live version from 2007 Celebration Day which was a one off concert so mamy years later is epic. And a must watch.
So nice to follow your your trip to ecplore classical rock, Stacey. It's really good to see your reactions.
You would enjoy Pink Floyd - Shine on your crazy diamond. And maybe Steppenwolf with - The magic carpet ride.
Gonna devote a separate comment for your spot-on adoration of John "Bonzo" Bonham's "impeccable, ""soul-stealing" (to use your words) drumming here. No shit, right! I also love how he looked so joyous at this Knebworth '79 show. They hadn't played since Robert's son tragically died in '77, and he knew he was in a band that was worthy of his ginormous talent. For more great Bonzo footage, "I can't quit you, Baby" (Royal Albert, '70) "Achilles Last Stand" (same '79 Knebworth show) "Rock and Roll" (MSG '73). Rock it, StaceyRPG!
Stacey check through rock history. Late 60’s and 70’s rock artist had become disenchanted with western culture. Guys from the Stones Beatles Zeppelin would travel to the eastern world to get their spiritual groove on. Read the lyrics from Kashmir! 😉. Yes Robert just took you there! ✌🏾. Saw this played live twice by them. Haunting is right!
Hi Stacey. It's Bill. Great song. The drummer , John Henry Bonham, whom I share a birthday with, is the best drummer of all time. Power drummer with fantastic innovations. I love it. Rip JHB.
Cheers
Even if you don't react to it, have a listen to the 2007 Celebration Day live version of this song. I believe it was the only concert LZ performed after the death of Jon Bonham. I'd heard they only did it because Jons son Jason played the drums (rather well it must be said). The band sounded so good even after a lot of years had passed.
They did Live Aid in Philadelphia with Phil Collins on the drums, but they'd rather you forget about that and did all they could to repress footage. They say it wasn't good due to lack of rehearsal time. They took that to heart for the Celebration Day concert and fully rehearsed for it. Jason on drums always brings a lump to the throat both for the Celebration Day version of Kashmir and the performance with Heart of Stairway to Heaven.
Since I've Been Loving You ... live has to be your next Zep reaction . It will blow your mind .
It warms my heart to watch younger people experiencing what my generation first saw back in the 60s and 70s . We are now getting to ages that means we will have to pass on the baton to keep these bands and music alive to all future generations . I feel the legacy will be in safe hands , thank you . 🙂 .
My second favorite Led Zeppelin tune.
Each of these four musicians is/was a master of their craft. They crafted some of the most creative musical pieces in the history of rock music.
I was a student in high school until 1973. My friends and I would get a new LP, get together over some libation and listen to the latest musical treasure. In spite of having no money I would get one LP each week from bands like the Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, Procol Harum, Yes and yes, Led Zeppelin!! There's just soooo much magical music from that period.
It wasn't just rock that was great. The blues was having a revival (since rock is just the child of the blues). Artists that hadn't toured in ages started touring again and they started recording with the rockers who were reviving their music. I got to see John Lee Hooker, Paul Butterfield, Johnny Winter and others. Canned Heat recorded with one of the great blues records "Hooker and Heat". Fleetwood Mac recorded "Fleetwood Mac in Chicago".
It was incredible!!!
I like what you just said very much!!! I agree with you in that we need to continue to learn. I think we quit learning only once we are dead! Take care!!!! Watch how John Paul is playing the keyboards on this one, including the bass parts on pedals with his feet.
Stacy you kept saying oh, oh on this video. A little heads up for you love. Robert is drawing you into his circle!!!! ENJOY!!!!! Zeppelin is one of the very best EVER!!!! Period...................... Lastly Happy New Year!!!!!!!! Can you believe it is 2024 all ready?
Bassist/keyboardist, John Paul Jones, birth name John Baldwin was born in Sidcup, Kent, England on 3 January 1946. He started playing piano when he was six, learning from his father, Joe Baldwin, a pianist and arranger for big bands in the 1940s and 1950s, notably with Ambrose and his Orchestra. His mother was also in the music business which allowed the family to often perform together touring around England as a vaudeville comedy act. His influences ranged from the blues of Big Bill Broonzy, the jazz of Charles Mingus, to the classical piano of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Wikipedia.
14:54 - Correction - John IS the greatest drummer of all time 😅
The drummer has been rated one the best drummers in the world
Going to California is a good song to reaction on.
Stacey, spot-on! In response to your question, I (like many at the time) found it life-changing!
They are the GOATS PERIOD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You travel through the desert with them. You can feel the heat, ant taste the sand!
You were dead-on with the drummer getting progressively more active as the song went on. You should watch them do this live from Celebration Day with the drummers son playing the drums. They were about 60 years old and absolute killed it! John Bonham's son was amazilg, as was everyone else. You'll thank me, I promise
Definitely need to watch that performance!
I wholeheartedly agree!
I truly love that you are experiencing this band…I first heard them being played while I was in Vietnam…1969…
Hello from Phoenix! Love this song but hey I love 99% of what they did!
Robert Plant sadly had vocal cord surgery to remove nodules in 1973. He lost a lot of his upper range post surgery and instead focused on developing his lower range technique. The best years for plants voice is anything 1968-1972.
Also John Paul Jones (the bassist) is playing keys and bass with his feet.
This is one of the two comcerts in August 1979 at Knebwoth , England. These were the last concerts the original group played in Britain.
Always here for Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin, heavy light.
DAZED AND CONFUSED
This is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs (they are all pretty great). It’s kind of a hard driving, middle eastern vibe showing displaying the influence their trip to Morocco had. You should check out the song (not the album) Houses of the Holy, another favorite.
The bands, singers and artists that claimed to have been inspired by Led Zeppelin:
1) Aerosmith
2) Black Sabbath
3) Queen
4) White Stripes
5) Foo Fighters
6) Nirvana
7) Pearl Jam
8) Van Halen
9) Guns and Roses
10) Bon Jovi
11) Lenny Kravitz
12) Johnny Depp
13) Keifer Sutherland
... and many more 😊
That’s absolutely amazing!!
the son of the drummer was the drummer when they did it once more in .....a show called "Celebration day ... in 2012, it exists on DVD there's even DVDs for rehearsals
I would definitely recommend checking out the studio version of this song if you can (even if not as a reaction) as you can really get a feel for what the band had in mind. This was a groundbreaker for its time :)
Welcome to the 10K club. I'm not surprised. You present very well and I like to watch! 😁
Bonzo is playing the drum fantastic and off the chart😊wow
Saw them in Chicago 1977 and yes they were ridiculously awesome
It's awesome to see younger fans of great music. Kashmir is my favorite song from my favorite band. Also must add you are quite beautiful and have a hot voice. keep it up.
I was 11 yo in 1969 when I first heard the band and man I was hooked been, my favorite band my whole life damn they were great! BTW saw them live in Denver 1975 at the age of 17 what a party! Played for like 2 1/2 hours!
The first Led Zeppelin song I heard was Stairway to Heaven, I was about 15, I was in shock!
I was lucky enough to be at Knebworth for this one.
An absolute Juggernaut!
Wow, what moving comments on the great John Bonham. Really unique. Love the way you play tribute. Bless you, pretty lady.
Fun fact: The monster synthesizer used by John Paul Jones here (and elsewhere) is the same so called ”dream machine” that Benny Andersson of ABBA used to create those legendary soundscapes: The Yamaha GS-1, which cost the same as a house at the time. Very few got a hold of one of those. (Affordable synthesizers were introduced in the late 70s, which is why we saw the advent of synth pop shortly after).
Kashmir has a lot of unique rhythmic and harmonic tension. The tension is built up and resolved.
I saw Robert Plant solo at Meadowlands arena NJ i the 80's, absolutely killer.
Black Dog and Whole Lotta Love have to be next on your Led Zeppelin journey. When the Levee Breaks should be right after that. Masters!
Roberts favorite Zeppelin song. You have to sit down and do the Zep marathon. Start at Zep one and open up your world to the "Hammer Of The Gods"
Chill and Heavy you described it. Robert described Led Zeppelin's sound as Light & Shade. Same thing.
