this song was written for Joni Mitchell... she’s the woman with flowers in her hair ... her song “California” is an amazing song
She's also the queen who plays guitar and cries and sings.
John Paul Jones on the mandolin. Jimmy on the guitar. No Bonham on this one. There’s nothing Led Zeppelin can’t do.
Truth!
Rap
Polka
To tell you the truth I think they go into an acoustic part of their con cert right after "Moby Dick" so Bonham can have a break.
@@donaldbrunner6250very interesting observation - Preeesh
you should catch the live version. It is magical watching them perform this imo. Of course I could watch Robert vocalize all day long.
I grew up with this band and they were the best ever. Period !
This Zeppelin classic is a total CHILL song 🎵!!!! Both of you were feeling the Zeppelin vibe!!!!! Much more to discover in their musical catalog. Hope you guys are enjoying the holiday weekend. Keep rocking 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
No one can define their style. Unique And Robert P. is out if this world.
Back when I bought this album in 1973…when it first was released in cassette….the only good thing about this song was that the next song was…When The Levee Breaks….but the song started to grow on me….the same thing happened with the The Battle Of Evermore …it came before Stairway To Heaven…..on the same album…
“ To find a Queen without a king, they say she’s plays guitar, cries, and sings”. He’s speaking of Joni Mitchell, the “ Queen” of the Laurel Canyon singer/songwriter scene in LA circa 1970, and considered one of the best singer/songwriters of the past 60 years. Robert had a total crush (from afar) on her. Many did.
Robert, especially, really adored the “California sound” in music from 1965 or so into the early 70’s and totally related to the counter-culture movement centered there. Much more so than his band mates.
Yes, this is folk music, an homage to that time and place. JPJ ( the Swiss Army knife of musicians) on mandolin.
One of my all-time favorite songs from a legendary classic rock band with a tremendous catelogue. Always loved Zep doing a great ballad, and amongst the band's ballads, this is one of their very best, IMO.
Zeppelin "Kashmir - Live at Celebration Day" is the bomb 💣
Led Zeppelin The Rover!! My favorite Zep song…
Listen to it
Saw Robert Plant on his 2018 tour and he did this song, one of the highlights, almost surreal.
Such a lovely song and then the track that follows will blow your minds. I remember hearing the album for the first time in 1971 and you just never knew what was coming.
This is such an underrated masterpiece!!! I remember listening to this song, Battle of Evermore & Baby I'm Gonna Leave You on the bus to school every morning & that's how I knew I loved Zeppelin! My top 3/4 LZ songs without question because of the story telling, the relaxing vibe & how different it is to other tracks
Nice bus tunes, lol! I remember hearing my first BOOTLEG Zep on the (high) school bus, lol! Dude named Chris had something from I think 1969 show ("Killing Floor/Lemon Song" I think) on cassette. Blew me away that such things even existed.
Battle of Evermore will always be my favorite!
Yes I've always loved this light mellow song. I also love the placement of this song on the album just before my favorite song "When The Levee Breaks", the contrast between these two songs makes the already heavy blues Levee sound even heavier.
A couple other mellow Led Zeppelin songs are, "Rain Song" and "Thank You".
The GOATS...PERIOD🤷🏻♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
On Led Zeppelin III there is a song called Bron-Y-Aur Stomp about Robert Plants dog Strider.Accoustic Masterpeice and and there are drums.
A MUST HEAR classic (& my favorite) Led Zeppelin "No Quarter" (Studio Version First)
Really you just need to listen to this entire album Led Zeppelin IV. Its a masterpiece and on any short list for greatest album ever created. Every song front to back is a classic in rock history.
theres a zeppelin song for every occasion the best part about the band to me such a vast catalog of different sounds
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKs is one of a dozen songs in my lifetime in which you feel like a group is taking music to places that haven't been visited before, the next level. Looking forward to that one. my favorite.
Zeppelin IV is total fire from the first note to the last!
Arguably the greatest band ever....
these guys haven't ever gotten credit for their song writing skills...it is an incredibly well written and composed song...thanks for reaction...love them
There is a cover of this by Heart on TH-cam as well as several other Zeppelin songs. My favorite cover of LZ by Heart is probably "Battle Of Evermore" (and their Kennedy Center rendition of "Stairway To Heaven").
Free "All Right Now"...Nuff Said.
Thank You and Since I've Been Loving You showcases their versatility and talent.... try one of those:) Love seeing a younger generation appreciating the iconic songs of Led Zepplin:)
“ Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” is another acoustic masterpiece.
Well, it’s partly acoustic! 😉
@@helenespaulding7562 I meant to type “ Battle Of Evermore” but had too much red wine 🍷 ffs 🤦♂️.
From the same album, another gorgeous,. hypnotic acoustic number is "Battle of Evermore." They used their only "guest vocalist" on it, a beautiful singer named Sandy Denny.
Kind of song you listen to while driving in a convertible with the top down, along a nice scenic drive
You should always endeavor to listen to their live performances. The studio versions have perfect acoustics and mixing, but the live performances are all unique with solos that are never the same, showing the depth of their virtuosity
i would just burst crying at 3:08, somehow that bit hits me like a train, always
When the levee breaks, hey hey what can I do, good times bad times . Some great songs
Yes, John Paul Jones put down his bass and keyboards and plays mandolin alongside Jimmy on acoustic. Led Zeppelin is one part rock, one part Celtic Folk. Their albums all display the mantra of Jimmy Page of having light and dark on every album, Light and shade, as he calls it.
They did it all.
Robert Plant lost his son - wrote ALL OF MY LOVE - dedicated to his son - beautiful good song.
Hammer of the Gods !
Love this one! It's so lovely and tranquil and then it slips into those parts where it's about doubt and frustration and fear and determination. And then it feels so good when it comes back up to the happy place.
As you continue to explore LZ’s catalogue you’ll see it covers multiple music genres…
Timbuk 3 "Life Is Hard" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
They would perform acoustic songs in the middle of their concerts, while sitting on stools…… just how you imagined this around a campfire. Please check out this song live.
Awesome choice !!
Please check out "Boogie With Stu", it'll make you feel like dancing 😊
✌️❤️🇨🇦
It was nice to hear a different type of LZ song. They were influenced by early American rock, blues, folk and jazz musicians. Many of the LZ songs are a fusion of these types of music, especially blues rock. I'm looking forward to the live Stairway to Heaven reaction. I don't know if this helps, but I heard many song reactors say if they pause a song a certain number of times and give comments, there are no copyright infringements.
In my Top 3 Zeppelin songs…… ❤️🔥🎸
If someone asks me how old I am I reply I was in high school when led zeppelin was a band and leave it at that . These guys had the keys to the kingdom in the '70's .
Rock gods, they where the biggest thing on the planet in their say, the live version of this is great .
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused ...... an incredible rollercoaster song
Led Zeppelin - Since Ive been loving you ...... one of the most emotional
Thanks for doing my requested pick! I wanted you guys to hear the acoustic side of Zeppelin. They were capable of everything from very heavy to very light, very lustful to very loving! You’ve got a lot more to discover!
It was great! Thanks for the suggestion!
Add You Shook Me to your Led Zeppelin future listen to list.
I think it's fair to say that there will never be a band that can compare to the stylings, talent, delivery and production of Led Zeppelin. I'm sure most Led Heads would agree 💯
They do an excellent live version of this song at Earl's Court 1975.
Thank you. Love it. Great Led Zeppelin song is THANK YOU. It's a very lovely love song. These are 50 yr old songs. Timeless.
A couple of my favorite songs of theirs are D’yer Mak’er and Bron-y-aur Stomp. I like them because they’re hey are a little different sound from Led Zeppelin’s normal stuff.
They did it ALL!! Try their live acoustic sets!!
HEY PHIL, HI SAM! 😊 SO THIS ZEPPELIN SONG WAS INSPIRED BY ( JONI MITCHELL ) CALIFORNIA, WHICH COMES OFF OF HER 71 EPIC ALBUM ( BLUE ) GIVE A LISTEN TO JONI, MOST WOMEN WIND UP LOVINGGGG HER VOICE AMONG OTHER THINGS BUT ALSO HER WRITINGS ON HER SONGS, SHE LITERALLY WORD PAINTS 😊 ENJOY YOU GUYS!
You should've done the live version.
why wouldn't you want to watch this LIVE, it's spectacular and Jimmy is smoking hot.
You should also react to "Battle of Evermore" by Led Zep!
The G.O.AT.S!
Greatest most musicaly diverse band ever
Great led zeppelin 4 album ...kinda greatest hits
The 1975 Earl's Court acoustic set is a must listen! The song does reference the earthquake they experienced *mountains in the canyon start to tremble and shake, as the children of the sun begin to wake* Also *Seems like the wrath of the gods* line! They were, as others have mentioned, paying tribute to Joni Mitchell! Jimmy and Robert crushed on her, but it may have been more in awe of her talent, fame, and charisma she sent out to the world during this time! She once praised LZ for being the only male stars of the time with the courage to admit they enjoyed her music!
Should have done the live version you could have seen the band perform
Same old story you guys have to watch the live version to fully enjoy this song. 👍🔥
one of my all-time favorite led zep songs.
I love their diversity
Yeah much better than the "diversity " of today
It’s a guitar but there may be a mandolin playing also, I am pretty sure - listen to Robert Plant singing nowadays with Alison Krauss - yes, good ear! I checked the video and there is a mandolin pairing with the guitar
There's a great live version of this from a show in 1975 at Earls Court. Seen many reactors do it. Zeppelin always did an acoustic set during their 3 hour plus live shows. It gave Bonham a break. You will want to check out the live version of "In My Time of Dying" from that same Earls Court show.
Another slower song of theirs is Thank You. The girl "with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair" is Joni Mitchell. She has a beautiful voice. You should check her out.
Thank you!!!! I have been listening to this great song for 50 years and now the lyrics make sense.
Definitely some psychedelic rock from greatest band from the 70’s
Beautiful piece 🤘❤️ try to find the woman thats never been born. 😮
What you may not know is that the The drummer in this performance is the sun Of their original drummer who died. So his baby got to play for them. obviously heart is always amazing, Ann and nancy wilson wilson have always been phenomenal. You should venture into the heart song book, It will blow your mind.
Love this
The genius of Zeppelin..
If y’all haven’t done the rain song yet , it’s definitely a must!!!!
Others have also said it here, "Battle of Evermore"
Percussion was made by the guitar. You can imagine drums behind it but don’t really need them or hear them. Geniuses
Yall need some zeppelin drum solo. Moby Dick. You guys will love it
Down By The Seaside, also nice.
The rain song is super melodic from Madison Square Garden
nice! check out some live versions of zeppelin .Do stairway to heaven live Madison Square gardens and Since Ive been loving you Live MSG. and you can even find this song live if you look around.Youll get into rabbit hole you can get out of.If you think you can handle it do MSG Gardens Dazed and Confused Live..Jimmy goes on one of the most epic guitar Solos in the history of music.its about 20 minutes long but worth it.
LZ has quite a few folk songs. I suggest you check out The Rain Song (studio version)
Beautiful song ❤
One of their best!
One of my favorites, great live.
My beloved JPJ non mandolin Jimmy acoustic and Robert's vocals no Bonzo here and its still good as hell, this song is about Joni Mitchell so i heard
Probably one of the only songs of theirs where Bonzo gets to go to the green room to sip on a few beverages .
You will never predict what sound you’ll get or, where Zeppelin is going. Just enjoy the ride!
10 Albums and not 1 song sounds the same.
“The Rain Song” is one of the most beautiful song y’all will hear.
“All of my Love” y’all will get the 80’s Zeppelin. Most important, Plant wrote the song in tribute to his 4 yrs old son that passed from a virus in the 70’s.
Both are musical masterpieces!
Great reaction guys! So many different sounds from one band.
I second that motion. The live version is incredible and you get to see the 3 without the drums. Bonzo was silent.
They are so diverse compared to any other rock band. No bonhan in this. There catalog is amazing. THE GOATS
LZ crushing on Joni Mitchell...
If you like this you might want to try Tangerine from their 3rd album. Immigrant song and Since I've been loving you are worth a listen as well.
back then i would of went to California to be with Joni Mitchell in a New York minute!
A haunting melody, & if one listens closely, one can hear Robert Plant trying to effect an American accent. Thanks for your reaction.
I must say, the zep songs I gravitate toward are in this vein. Battle of evermore, the rain song. Not to say I dont like other songs, these just have a lovely vibe to them... also, for more of a folk vibe there is bron-y-aur stomp
🤘🤘
Back then California was a wonderful beautiful place for free spirit minded people Not so much anymore.
Led Folk music,
