Incredible!! And those last couple of minutes😳😳😳🔥🔥🔥🔥 Here’s the video link • Video I do not own the rights to this song. No copyright infringement intended
@@-jacinta- I lived through the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc., I love all different kinds of music, except opera and Led Zeppelin. Just have never been a fan of their particular kind of music. There's emotive singing and then there's screaching. Bon Jovi's singing on Living On A Prayer is better than Led Zeppelin any day. That tortured high pitched screaching just grates on the ear. Plus, what was described as some kind of inventive and creative guitar playing was only done by strumming of different chord changes, that's all...no magic fingers at all. I think Zep's fan base are making much more 'ado about nothing' than is necessary. Just my opinion.
I admit that you can eventually fall into a mindset of "Oh, no, not Stairway again". But watching someone hear it for the first time, and anticipating how they're going to react at certain moments, really brings back how great it is.
I'm here in NYC and every memorial day, 4th of July and Labor Day the Rock stations do top 100 songs and every time for years "stairway to heaven " is number 1..Im talking years and years
I’d say it’s the greatest rock song of all time. LedZepplin is my favorite band of all time so I’m probably biased. However I enjoy how many more times, and a couple of other Zep songs more than Stairway but I will concide it’s the best
that was me 2 weeks ago, and I'm a rock fan too, it's just that my music tastes change a lot, and recently I started enjoying the hell out of classic rock, and I finally decided to check it out, worse about it is I loved immigrant song and knew about Stairway to heaven, I just didn't particularly want to listen to it, but now, nah that's over, discovered so many new classics recently that I didn't know about just because I actually started to listen to those songs that I kept myself from hearing
Oliver Vaa it's not ignorant. every generation has done it to every generations music that's come after theirs, since the beginning of time. it's called lack of understanding, not ignorance.
@@vinyl-maniac6400 I never listened to vinyl (really) it was always CDs. Idk what it is but yesterday's music sounds so much better as in listening to their music u know there is passion, soul, hard work, and or something interesting to say unlike today's music. My brother was like "oh and Slayer is more like that than Taylor Swift?" Yeah all they had was a Camero and eventually made the only album that could rival Master of Puppets & its the same album that is a "blueprint" if not a key ingredient of Death Metal a new genre at that time.
one day a few years ago when my kids were pre and early teens i was upstairs relaxing in bed and I could hear them downstairs playing The Beatles and Led Zeppelin with no coaxing , and I thought to myself , " my work here is done "
I have my turntable set up in my bedroom and was playing some Miles Davis, when my youngest daughter joined me to listen to the "old music". Years later, she has her own turntable and is listening to all sorts of jazz!!! My work is also done!
You know ? When I was a teenager, the first times I listened to Stairway To Heaven it didn't leave any impression on me. It wasn't until I grew up and experimented first hand how hard life can be, to see my own disappointments, failures, sorrow and regrets that I actually got it. Really wish I could go back, but that's impossible, so I'll just try to listen very hard from now on...
Plant is telling us, as the listener, that you can do what thou will. He then tells us, there's time to turn back to GOD and you will be saved. Wrong, who knows the time of one's last breath, but GOD? So, he is , in fact, telling us...see you in hell. Page, couldn't wait to buy Allister Crowley's house...which was the remnants of a church, that caught fire, with the congregation still inside! He was a practicing satanist and some consider the most evil man who ever lived!
When a song still moves you after almost 50 years, that says something. As many brilliant songs that Led Zeppelin put out, this was one of their very best.
As a guitar player there are only a few solos that move me. This is one of them. I wonder if Jimmy Page just noodled it in the studio or sat down and composed it. The man has inspired many people with some of the greatest guitar playing of all time, IMO of course.
Jason V it was like 4 or 5 different song ideas that page had been tossing back and forth for years and he just combined them into his magnum opus. Heard that in a documentary years ago, sorry I can’t remember which, but it’s a famous sound bite so you can prob easily find it.
@@jaysjams1517 There was an Interview of him saying, he had 3 solos for this song in his head and he recorded all of them. He listened and then decided on the one in the final recording because it just felt right. All were as long and probably as epic and all were played on his 12string
70's and 80's rock music was the greatest period for music. There will never be music as good as or as close as. As Freddy Mercury once quoted: "We are in a golden age of music. There will be a time when technology becomes so advanced that we'll rely on it to make music rather than talent. Music will lose its soul."
Jamel, I'm 74 and was a young adult when this kind of music was made. I got to see concerts by Led Zep, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull, and other classic rock groups, and it really can't be adequately described. I'm glad that recordings and concert videos are still available for subsequent generations to discover and enjoy.
Yes think any of the music of today will stand the test like these classics? I think not! Such great memories of this era. Glad I grew up then for sure
@@Phantom_madman GOOD music is forever. How does one define good music? It is music that continues to be played for generations after it is first composed and presented.
@Larry Bones thats such a blanket statement there is music today that is fantastic especially todays rap like kendrick lamar and tyler the creator and childish gambino
I always wanted a magic pill to make me forget my favorite song, just so i could listen to it for the first time again. Watching this channel is kind of like that pill.
Holly, YES!!!! I have wished SO many times that my memory of some songs were erased temporarily so I could hear them for the first time again. This is definitely the closest thing, I love it!
Of all the people doing these "reaction to" recordings I like Jamal the best. Some of them are very forced and trying too hard, ending up looking false. Jamal seems more natural.
It's like watching myself(old white guy) hearing these songs for the first time when I was a teen and they were on 45 rpm records & 4 track cartridges... I'm old enough to know about the insert thingy needed to play a 45 rpm record......
I listened to all this music as a kid, I'm 54. The sad thing was at that time growing up on the south side of Chicago you couldn't admit to listening and liking this music. Music was so segregated back then. There was rock music stations for white kids and R&B stations for blacks, and we weren't suppose to cross over. I remember hiding in my room with my transistor radio listening to these songs. It wasn't until high school that i realized whit kids did the exact same thing to hear our music.
I made sure when i had my kids i always played the songs i loved for them to hear and insisted they shared their favorite music with me even if I didn't understand it all the time
@Scott ?????? yes I've heard that version a really like it. The thing to remember is Chicago is very segregated even now. Its just the way of things there. I went to catholic schools my entire youth. I went to an all boys high school and I had a white girl friend that went to an all girls high school. We went to a Jacksons concert and I bought her a poster. She called me a week later in tears because her father not only tore down the Michael Jackson poster but all her posters and took all her records and tapes while she was at school. Then told her we were bad influences and couldn't see us/me anymore. That only lasted about a month but it just shows you what some not all went through during that time.
“And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all are one and one is all” one of the deepest quotes from any song I’ve ever heard.
That ought to be the Mission Statement of this channel. That's essentially what happens here. He listens very intently (hard), and then, at last, the tune comes to him, as he realizes he's already heard it at work.
Comment Freely Music is for the body. You can feel the music move throughout your body and express it in the most natural way possible. Also, there are studies that suggest that dancing is like a visual mating call, as are a peacocks feathers or many birds' singing.
Ditto! Hit 'delete' and then appreciate it all over again. Like I'd love to watch Back to the Future for the first time, or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ah...memories...
I remember the first time I heard it. I was at my friends house and don't remember the details but this guy and girl were going to go smoke a joint and asked me if I wanted to come they were going to go out to the car and smoke I said sure. Anyways they put this on and its first time I actually remember hearing it and really you know felt it. That was 99 I think, I was 14
Mm, we probably did not know it at that time...Led Zeppelin III got quite a slamming which gave the idea of not using any titles on the album cover for IV / Zoso / Runes Album. To me though III is their best effort truly showcasing both the acoustic and electric sides.."Tangerine" is a nice combination as has lot of elements for "Stairway".
My grandpa died in 2016 ( my dads dad ). They gave us a CD of the memories my dad had with him. We watched it and the song that played with it was Stairway to Heaven. I don’t think I’ve been that sad seeing my dad cry that night. This song touches my soul.
100% He’s really appreciating the older music fully. So love that While I grew up a fan of this music I learned we still do have a lot of good artists around & expanded my own horizons a lot. You can still find good lyricists, though I think the Biz does so much homogenizing & using formulas for success there are fewer. But they’re out there & there success should teach the industry something. Those voice equalizers though, no tolerance for. If you haven’t got the voice, play an instrument, dance, produce. Everyone can spot the fake.
just never forget that black people created literally every genre. rock. country. rockabilly. blues. soul. funk, disco, r and b. rap. funk, raeggae, etc...
In the early 80's, this was always the last song at the after-game high school dances. The length of the song gave you extra up-close time with that one girl... but the up-tempo ending was a problem for us 6'5"ers that were reluctant to "fastdance". Such huge problems we had back then :/
My school tried to get Stairway to Heaven to be our prom song, but administration was not giving in, so we got a different (but also awesome) song instead. They did, however, let the following year have it. It was almost 18 years ago and it still doesn't make sense to me.
First live performance was in my home city, Belfast, Ireland, when few bands would come here because we'd a fek'n war going on. I'll never forget that they did that for us.
Stairway ... Still a masterpiece . And now u know. I remember the first time hearing this I closed my eyes like u to take it all in. You know what, I still do 40 years later. I first heard this as a teen. And as we wind on down the road the piper is calling us to join him.
Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970 when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace "Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar. By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15-minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time. In October 1970, after about 18 months of near constant touring, the song took shape. Page and Plant explained that they started working on it at a 250-year-old Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they wrote the songs for Led Zeppelin III. Page sometimes told a story of the pair sitting by a fire at the cabin as they composed it, a tale that gives the song a mystical origin story, as there could have been spirits at play within those walls. Page told a different story under oath: When he was called to the stand in 2016 as part of a plagiarism trial over this song, he said that he wrote the music on his own and first played it for his bandmates at Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where they recorded it using a mobile studio owned by The Rolling Stones. Plant corroborated the story in his testimony. Headley Grange may not be as enchanting as Bron-yr-Aur, but the place had some character: It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting, as the biggest distractions were the sheep and other wildlife.
It's quite amazing to me that such a small island off the Atlantic coast of Europe could produce so much incredible , inventive life changing music, Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones , The Who, Deep Purple, Kinks, Yardbirds, Moody Blues, Yes, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, Elton John, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The list is endless , there must be something in the rainwater , Bless you Brittania
Our music of the 70's and 80's took you on a journey. Led Zepplin, Rush, Yes, Rolling Stones, The Who and so many others that the music brought you JOY to hear. My daughter who is now in her 30's said it recently - I listen to your music now because it makes me feel good and lifts me up.
Remembering the sign in the music store in "Wayne's World!". Laughed hard out loud in the movie theater, and audience all turned to look at me! Guess they didn't notice the bit...hysterical!
I love his reactions, especially to songs like this that I have always loved but probably taken for granted because I’ve heard it so many times, but It’s a whole new experience listening to music I grew up to with someone who has never heard it.👍
Nailed it. Every now and then an artist hits a decent song but back it the day the artists were prolific. STH is a beautiful journey. Watch/React to the Kennedy Center Honors with Anne & Nancy Wilson of Heart singing this song TO Led Zeppelin. A once in a lifetime moment. Side note: The drummer performing is the drummer of Led Zeppelin son. Really AMAZING!!
It’s not even that all the new music is “bad”, it’s that the old stuff is just so incredibly good that it doesn’t compare. It sounds cliche, but people literally don’t make music like this anymore.
Cyberium Very true. I met someone last week who had never heard of Piano Man and Rocket Man by Billy Joel + Elton John. I was shocked and disappointed lol.
Sure, but on the other hand, I’m going to guess there’s a lot of grown people that have never heard Eric B. & Rakim’s Paid In Full which changed the sound of hiphop and redefined what an MC was. It’s preference, environment, exposure... My Dad listened to Floyd and Zep. My Mom and my Step listened mainly to Jazz due to them being in a quartet. I heard “rap music” for the first time in the late 70s early 80s and I was done. Nothing else mattered. Breaking, strutting, and trying to write rhymes became my life.
And to think that Led Zeppelin practically got booed off the stage the first time that Stairway was played. The crowd changed their minds after the change when the tempo picks up.

This song changed alot of peoples lives when it first came out, imagine millions of young rock & roll kids hearing this for the first time Back in 1971, I am PROUD to say I was one of them, my generation was Dope AF!
Stairway is considered the absolute BEST "Rock and Roll" song of all time. It was recorded in 1971 (48 years ago as of this post) and it is still JAM as heck!!!
What makes this song so memorable and such a classic is that it is built as a continuous crescendo. From first note to last it increases in intensity. That tweaks something in our emotions
I remember when I was a child back in the 80's in Japan, I used to listen to this. This song represented America to me. Although, I didn't understand much English then and also the lyric itself escaped me because I was a child, I still understood its melody. Very seldom in humankind's history when music isn't a music anymore. It becomes a journey.
@@snowwpea It sounds English lol... American bands tried to sound like them but never quite could. Its not glam rock like Bon Jovi, it's real rock and roll.
Brother I've been rocking to Led Zepplin for 40 years and I'm as black ad black can get! Along with Rush, Vanhalen and all the greats and I'm probably one of only a few black drummers that can match Jon Bonham ( RIP ) Neal Peart ( RIP ) and Alex Vanhalen stick for stick on the kit.
Thank you for making this world more tolerable by promoting love joy and peace in a world that is so lost. I watched all of your videos that you upload and I find myself walking away feeling better. Thank you.
You know Jamel, all of these reaction videos from all of these people don’t seem genuine at all, except for you. You truly get it. I subjected my daughter to my music when she was growing up, and at the time, she hated it. Now, she’s proud to know and appreciates the music that I grew up on. It brings me such joy to be able to see you discover and appreciate what all of us have known all of these years how great this music and these artists were and still are. Thank you.
It’s like these guys were able to put music and words to a beautiful vision and paint that vision with the appropriate words and sounds that can accurately be conveyed to all that hear/see it. It’s almost supernatural. It is supernatural. This is more than music man.
Man you have to watch the cover this really talented band did of Stairway. Just type in "led zeppelin kennedy center honors 2012" and watch the one with 28 million views. It's beautiful watching the band react to the cover. It was profound. Edit: nevermind the next video up is you reacting to it! haha you're the man. This music is apart of all of us in such a profound, deep, meaningful way. I'm glad you're on board now too my friend.
That's the difference between new music nowadays and music that transcends time, Stairway to Heaven evokes passion and emotion where music like Happy are just fads
You sir are a breath of fresh air! Uplifting. I really smile watching you absorb the music and seeing and hearing your reactions. Keep up the great work and thank you. Peace and respect from North East England. Mark.
This is considered by many as the greatest rock song ever. While there are other Zeppelin songs I love more, this one song has so much mass appeal is why it has this ranking. The beauty, musicianship, lyric writing, hard rock at the end....it’s magic. I’ve seen all of your Zeppelin videos thus far. I’ve been deployed to Kuwait and seeing your reaction to the band I live the most ha helped me get through this. So please do more
Wow I got robbed, I saw Led Zeppelin in 1977 and my ticket was $9. The funny thing was, as we drove into the concert people were selling tickets for face value. In the same year a friend and I drove to Greensboro from Fort Bragg to see the Moody Blues on the night of the show. We got 2 floor seats. Ah, the good ole days!!!
Watched them live at Knebworth 1979, all I remember was the lazer show late at night as I was quite young at the time but very memorible open air concert.
I am a 63 year old black man who at 15 years old heard this song and many like it. I loved this type of music. And at the age of 15 years old, when it definitely wasn't popular for blacks. I will say this, this music was way ahead of its time back then. And as you listen to it today 2020, it's still way ahead of your time now!!!!
Thank you!! I know what you mean I'm 62 and grew up farming in Ohio and all I had was a am radio you know one of those little ones and it was red and blue with a white dial. Listening to this song takes me way back... I now look around and try to remember how I got here then the song ends and I step back into stupidity of today!
As a white man who loves this music but also love and grew up on hip hop I'm glad you appreciate this music as well. Thank you for giving it a chance. Good music is good music no matter what the genre
I am from Pakistan. I am blessed to have seen great great country of America when I was student there. What an amazing place , my friend Thomas Wies introduced me to this fabulous music during my stay in the western most beautiful country of America. I live in Pakistan now for a long time. There is no other country like America in rich culture , architecture , so much diversity. Amazing America. ❤❤❤❤ Americans love Zeppelin more than .......
Thank god you got introduced to real music. I am from pakistan. And i live in karachi. Ad im 20 years old and i only listen to rock music especially the music of led zeppelin. And stairway to heaven is my favourite.
Most beautiful song I've ever heard. When I was a Vegas pit boss I had a difficult situation and for some reason I began to pound out the base line of this song in answer to the angry shouts of the players. We all started to groove and started singing Stairway to Heaven. Got me a promotion thanks to Led Zepplin.
That is the reaction I would expect. My brother is deaf and if he could listen to one song in his life I could pick for him it would be Stairway to Heaven.
I'm of 2 minds about this comment... 1) If he could only hear one song this would most definitely be one of the top ones for him to for obvious reasons. 2) The other way to go would be to listen to the worst song in history...imagine only hearing stairway once and never to hear anything again...that would hurt me in my soul I think...whereas if you listen to some 3rd rate mumble rapper he would think hes not missing much and can go on living his life
It's amazing to watch younger people fall in love with the same music we grew up on. Our generation did a lot of stuff wrong but music is not one of them.
The last two minutes are nothing without the rest of the song. The whole buildup and tension. The parallels between beauty and brutality. Beautiful composition.
My favourite rock quote. "The fact that there's a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell tells you who's expecting more traffic"
I never heard that before and it sure hits the nail.
Stairways can get crowded too.
Deep
@@TheAvish6293 compared to a highway though 😂
Im borrowing that..lol
Who else was grinning wider and wider, just waiting for THAT moment to kick in? And knowing Jamel would love it?

I don't know...I got the opposite reaction. He seemed to want to groove to it, but it's not a groove type of tune.

One of the most iconic guitar solo's in history, by one of the greatest guitar players in history.
Don’t forget John! Literally, the greatest drummer ever!
One of? You mean *the* most iconic guitar solos of all time.
J-I-M-M-Y FREAKING P-A-G-E!
You know a song is a masterpiece when people are speechless afterwards
70's and 80's rock music was the greatest period for music.
There will never be music as good as or as close as.
As Freddy Mercury once quoted:
"We are in a golden age of music. There will be a time when technology becomes so advanced that we'll rely on it to make music rather than talent. Music will lose its soul."
Don't forget the mid to late 60's, the music was going up in a wave, in the 80's it was starting to peter out, remember "Disco"?
No need drugs, just listen
Wow! Never heard that one. Very powerful, prophetic quote.
Flóki Vilgerðarson the 90s were as good, but 60s 70s and 90s were the best decades for music
Jamel, I'm 74 and was a young adult when this kind of music was made. I got to see concerts by Led Zep, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull, and other classic rock groups, and it really can't be adequately described. I'm glad that recordings and concert videos are still available for subsequent generations to discover and enjoy.
Music is forever ❤️✌🏽
Yeah we are lucky I guess. The classical listeners don’t even have a compressed audio clip of their favorites.
Yes think any of the music of today will stand the test like these classics? I think not! Such great memories of this era. Glad I grew up then for sure
@@Phantom_madman GOOD music is forever. How does one define good music? It is music that continues to be played for generations after it is first composed and presented.
You lucky old bastards.
Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" is a straight up religious experience.
Saw them in 1977.
I stayed sober for that concert, that tells you how much I wanted to remember every last note of it.
You are better than me!
_amusingmyself I wish I could have been there, but unfortunately I was born in 1995
Well, back then you could go to a concert sober and be stoned halfway through just from breathing the AIR! If you know what I mean!
@@TheTruthContestt 2000 for me, but I can enjoy all of these beautiful songs as well as when they performed live, all through a click or press.
Epic!
“To be a rock and not to roll”
That line gets me every time
@Larry Bones thats such a blanket statement there is music today that is fantastic especially todays rap like kendrick lamar and tyler the creator and childish gambino
I always wanted a magic pill to make me forget my favorite song, just so i could listen to it for the first time again. Watching this channel is kind of like that pill.
Holly, YES!!!! I have wished SO many times that my memory of some songs were erased temporarily so I could hear them for the first time again. This is definitely the closest thing, I love it!
Of all the people doing these "reaction to" recordings I like Jamal the best. Some of them are very forced and trying too hard, ending up looking false. Jamal seems more natural.
The '70s & '80s were the best time to growing up for sure!!!!
I keep thinking it's Thursday.
It's like watching myself(old white guy) hearing these songs for the first time when I was a teen and they were on 45 rpm records & 4 track cartridges... I'm old enough to know about the insert thingy needed to play a 45 rpm record......
LOL. Me too. Its because most are just discovering LZ now. Lucky them :).
Same reason I watch white guys reacting to hip hop
Richard Eberhart old white guys? Young ones all listen to it already.
#me too
A am a black male 55 years old. I grew up in Brooklyn NY. I am sad to say I missed out on really enjoying some incredible music when it was new.
I listen to everything. Old and new. I don't want to miss any jewels. Music has saved my sanity and I Thank God for it.
I listened to all this music as a kid, I'm 54. The sad thing was at that time growing up on the south side of Chicago you couldn't admit to listening and liking this music. Music was so segregated back then. There was rock music stations for white kids and R&B stations for blacks, and we weren't suppose to cross over. I remember hiding in my room with my transistor radio listening to these songs. It wasn't until high school that i realized whit kids did the exact same thing to hear our music.
I made sure when i had my kids i always played the songs i loved for them to hear and insisted they shared their favorite music with me even if I didn't understand it all the time
@Scott ?????? yes I've heard that version a really like it. The thing to remember is Chicago is very segregated even now. Its just the way of things there. I went to catholic schools my entire youth. I went to an all boys high school and I had a white girl friend that went to an all girls high school. We went to a Jacksons concert and I bought her a poster. She called me a week later in tears because her father not only tore down the Michael Jackson poster but all her posters and took all her records and tapes while she was at school. Then told her we were bad influences and couldn't see us/me anymore. That only lasted about a month but it just shows you what some not all went through during that time.
Anthony Munn Have you heard of this young metal band from Brooklyn? th-cam.com/video/nHsTxoaOaO8/w-d-xo.html
“And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all are one and one is all” one of the deepest quotes from any song I’ve ever heard.
That ought to be the Mission Statement of this channel. That's essentially what happens here.
He listens very intently (hard), and then, at last, the tune comes to him, as he realizes he's already heard it at work.
This song came out in my 8th grade year. Blew me away. Saw Zep three times live. I am blessed musically!
there was a time that you did not need dancers on stage to make a show, the band was enough
Or the band all in sync dancing together. Like Clones. I like it when I am watching old R and B and Soul but not rock
i think dancing sucks; music is for the ears.
Comment Freely Music is for the body. You can feel the music move throughout your body and express it in the most natural way possible. Also, there are studies that suggest that dancing is like a visual mating call, as are a peacocks feathers or many birds' singing.
tell that to nirvana in 1992.
Avi Gayegos
Ahhhh, the Good Ol Days!!!
I wish I could hear this song again for the first time.
Ditto! Hit 'delete' and then appreciate it all over again. Like I'd love to watch Back to the Future for the first time, or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ah...memories...
I remember the first time I heard it. I was at my friends house and don't remember the details but this guy and girl were going to go smoke a joint and asked me if I wanted to come they were going to go out to the car and smoke I said sure. Anyways they put this on and its first time I actually remember hearing it and really you know felt it. That was 99 I think, I was 14
Me to
There aren't enough like buttons for this reaction.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving....
It is an anthem to a whole generation. There is just nothing like it.
Gen X as well! And the rest for at least 1000 years...
Freebird too!!
Carol....you are spot on! 👍🏻
From Led Zeppelin IV. A masterpiece. Yes, we were very spoiled back in the day.
We had no idea how good we had it. Even the least impressive tracks of the day were miles ahead of the cookie cutter stuff put out today.
Mm, we probably did not know it at that time...Led Zeppelin III got quite a slamming which gave the idea of not using any titles on the album cover for IV / Zoso / Runes Album. To me though III is their best effort truly showcasing both the acoustic and electric sides.."Tangerine" is a nice combination as has lot of elements for "Stairway".
We sure were Mary.A great time to be growing up.
Yeah. Today's music reeks of autotune. A fuckin' pandemia.
Most people don’t know this is a cover
It sounds as if Bonham is pissed because he doesn't get to play until the song's half over, so he's takimg it out on his drum kit.
My grandpa died in 2016 ( my dads dad ). They gave us a CD of the memories my dad had with him. We watched it and the song that played with it was Stairway to Heaven. I don’t think I’ve been that sad seeing my dad cry that night. This song touches my soul.
This music was made nearly 50 years ago. And nothing from today comes close to being as good.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G !
Yep they're not going to be listening to most of the crap years from now.
"I see why yawl upset with the music today. Man." - Jamel's best line eva
Dude Totally!! It felt so good to hear that!
100% He’s really appreciating the older music fully. So love that
While I grew up a fan of this music I learned we still do have a lot of good artists around & expanded my own horizons a lot. You can still find good lyricists, though I think the Biz does so much homogenizing & using formulas for success there are fewer. But they’re out there & there success should teach the industry something. Those voice equalizers though, no tolerance for. If you haven’t got the voice, play an instrument, dance, produce. Everyone can spot the fake.
This line and when he reacted to "Bulls On Parade" he said "There's a lot of funk in that foot!"
just never forget that black people created literally every genre. rock. country. rockabilly. blues. soul. funk, disco, r and b. rap. funk, raeggae, etc...
In the early 80's, this was always the last song at the after-game high school dances. The length of the song gave you extra up-close time with that one girl... but the up-tempo ending was a problem for us 6'5"ers that were reluctant to "fastdance". Such huge problems we had back then :/
At my school it was "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues or "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procul Harum. Or maybe "Without You" by Harry Nilsson.
My school tried to get Stairway to Heaven to be our prom song, but administration was not giving in, so we got a different (but also awesome) song instead. They did, however, let the following year have it. It was almost 18 years ago and it still doesn't make sense to me.
Born in 58 best music late 50s, 60s, and 70s. You can't beat it from county, rock, pop, and soul, no music in other era's comes close !
For a certain generation, songs like this are wired into your DNA. I can almost play it back in my head like a tape recorder.
What's a tape recorder? Just kidding...I'm old!
I know EXACTLY what you mean!
First live performance was in my home city, Belfast, Ireland, when few bands would come here because we'd a fek'n war going on.
I'll never forget that they did that for us.
True legends.
Táim an-shásta é a choisteáil!!
Stairway ... Still a masterpiece . And now u know. I remember the first time hearing this
I closed my eyes like u to take it all in. You know what, I still do 40 years later. I first heard this as a teen. And as we wind on down the road the piper is calling us to join him.
Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970 when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace "Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar. By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15-minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time. In October 1970, after about 18 months of near constant touring, the song took shape. Page and Plant explained that they started working on it at a 250-year-old Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they wrote the songs for Led Zeppelin III. Page sometimes told a story of the pair sitting by a fire at the cabin as they composed it, a tale that gives the song a mystical origin story, as there could have been spirits at play within those walls.
Page told a different story under oath: When he was called to the stand in 2016 as part of a plagiarism trial over this song, he said that he wrote the music on his own and first played it for his bandmates at Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where they recorded it using a mobile studio owned by The Rolling Stones. Plant corroborated the story in his testimony.
Headley Grange may not be as enchanting as Bron-yr-Aur, but the place had some character: It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting, as the biggest distractions were the sheep and other wildlife.
It's quite amazing to me that such a small island off the Atlantic coast of Europe could produce so much incredible , inventive life changing music, Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones , The Who, Deep Purple, Kinks, Yardbirds, Moody Blues, Yes, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, Elton John, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The list is endless , there must be something in the rainwater , Bless you Brittania
They did more than music lol. Literally ruled the planet.
Gaz Denny you’re missing David Bowie.
Amen!
its a chilly damp islands a lot of time indoors , time to write and contemplate .. so many awesome bands and singers, ..... yes david bowie !
Just take Radiohead off that list and add David Bowie and you are golden for a top list of very influential artists
So fun to see someone grooving to a Jimmy Page solo for the first time.
Our music of the 70's and 80's took you on a journey. Led Zepplin, Rush, Yes, Rolling Stones, The Who and so many others that the music brought you JOY to hear. My daughter who is now in her 30's said it recently - I listen to your music now because it makes me feel good and lifts me up.
Music for the sake of the song and the story and getting people to feel.
Im 67 and still get goose bumps listening to this
THANK YOU.....
yes it was AWESOME.... the golden age of rock!
Now this is why this song is considered one of the all time greatest.
I believe it's still number one all time.
Yep
Only to Zeppelin fans. This song is a big Burn out
the greatest IMO
@@nchls69 this is song is one of the best ever BUT is infected with the overplay bug. If you're listening to it the first time...it's just majestic.
The expressions on your face are what make this so much fun. It's like discovering this music all over again for us old farts.😆♥️
It doesn't get more stank face than Stairway :)
Remembering the sign in the music store in "Wayne's World!". Laughed hard out loud in the movie theater, and audience all turned to look at me! Guess they didn't notice the bit...hysterical!
I love his reactions, especially to songs like this that I have always loved but probably taken for granted because I’ve heard it so many times, but It’s a whole new experience listening to music I grew up to with someone who has never heard it.👍
"I see why y'all upset with the music today!"
NAILED IT.
Doesnt change how God damn bitchy some boomers are when others arent lol...
"I see why y'all are upset with the music today." - This is why I love your channel man. I love seeing how it affects you. Beautiful.
^^^^^
Seeing you enjoy this music makes me both nostalgic and grateful to have lived through it.
Nailed it. Every now and then an artist hits a decent song but back it the day the artists were prolific. STH is a beautiful journey. Watch/React to the Kennedy Center Honors with Anne & Nancy Wilson of Heart singing this song TO Led Zeppelin. A once in a lifetime moment. Side note: The drummer performing is the drummer of Led Zeppelin son. Really AMAZING!!
RIGHT ON!!!!
It’s not even that all the new music is “bad”, it’s that the old stuff is just so incredibly good that it doesn’t compare. It sounds cliche, but people literally don’t make music like this anymore.
I’m 39 years old. My dad is 62. I don’t remember never not knowing every single word of this song, so I love seeing people’s reactions!
One of the greatest songs....EVER💖🙏💖
It always amazes me seeing grown people having never heard classic songs like stairway to heaven lol
If media broadcasts old songs too frequently, most of the "Modern Pops" will be ashamed to show up.
Cyberium Very true. I met someone last week who had never heard of Piano Man and Rocket Man by Billy Joel + Elton John. I was shocked and disappointed lol.
kevin jones jojo is making younger generations get into these immortal songs and bands.
Sure, but on the other hand, I’m going to guess there’s a lot of grown people that have never heard Eric B. & Rakim’s Paid In Full which changed the sound of hiphop and redefined what an MC was.
It’s preference, environment, exposure...
My Dad listened to Floyd and Zep.
My Mom and my Step listened mainly to Jazz due to them being in a quartet.
I heard “rap music” for the first time in the late 70s early 80s and I was done. Nothing else mattered. Breaking, strutting, and trying to write rhymes became my life.
I met my granddaughter’s boyfriend for the first time and I liked him the moment I saw him. Why? He had on a Led Zeppelin T-shirt. Nineteen years old.
Ruth Johnson ...but can he name 5 Led Zeppelin songs? Haha. Best wishes.
He's a keeper
That he bought at Target
He has cool parents dude. :)
Classic Rock shirts are trendy, but most kids have never heard the music of the band that's on their tshirt.
And to think that Led Zeppelin practically got booed off the stage the first time that Stairway was played. The crowd changed their minds after the change when the tempo picks up.
I’m Digging The Fact That,There Are Still People Who Can Open Their Heart,Mind & Soul To Other Genres Of Music,Me As A White Guy Who Grew Up On The Westside Of Chicago In The 60’s & 70’s,However,I Embraced All Forms Of Music,Classic Rock,Hard Rock,Punk Rock,Pop,Rhythm & Blues,Motown Sound,Zydeco Blues,Delta Blues,Contemporary Jazz,Acid Jazz,Classic Country,Hell Even Reggae😎Watching This Video And His Reactions To A Great Song,Zeppelin Is My Favorite Rock Band(Saw Them In 1977)It Warms My Heart To Truly See Someone,Regardless Of Ethnicity,Gender,Age,Socioeconomic Status !!! When You First Listen To A Great Song That You Truly Feel In Your Heart,Mind & Soul🤔There Are Very Few Things In This World That Can Do That,The Birth Of Your Child,The Loss Of A Loved One,Falling In Or Out Of Love With Someone,The Unconditional Love & Companionship Of A Beloved Pet🤔Lose Yourselves In Some Great Music Of Any Genre,It Won’t Fix All The Problems In The World,However,Truly Great Music,You Can Truly Feel Deep Inside Your Mind,Heart,Body & Soul Will Heal A Part Of You !!! These Words Of Wisdom May Be The Rants Of An Old Man,But,It Won’t Cost You Anything To At Least Try,You Won’t Regret It🥃😎👍🏻
This song changed alot of peoples lives when it first came out, imagine millions of young rock & roll kids hearing this for the first time Back in 1971, I am PROUD to say I was one of them, my generation was Dope AF!
I tell people we are called Boomers because John Bonham made the drums go BOOM.
Stairway is considered the absolute BEST "Rock and Roll" song of all time. It was recorded in 1971 (48 years ago as of this post) and it is still JAM as heck!!!
Farnk Ewe Absolutely Frank!!!👋♥️🇦🇺🇺🇸
I think you don't no what rock and roll is 😂
It's easily in the top 5 or even top 3 songs of all time ever regardless of genre
@John Cena ever heard of Bohemian Rhapsody?
@John Cena yeah thats kind of what i was expecting as a reaction from someone who thinks that led zeppelin is the only rock band ever
One of the greatest songs ever written.Jimmy Page's guitar is amazing. Thank You Jamal for this most excellent reaction.
What makes this song so memorable and such a classic is that it is built as a continuous crescendo. From first note to last it increases in intensity. That tweaks something in our emotions
I remember when I was a child back in the 80's in Japan, I used to listen to this. This song represented America to me. Although, I didn't understand much English then and also the lyric itself escaped me because I was a child, I still understood its melody. Very seldom in humankind's history when music isn't a music anymore. It becomes a journey.
That's a different perspective!! They were from England and were 70'sreally !!
@@snowwpea It sounds English lol... American bands tried to sound like them but never quite could. Its not glam rock like Bon Jovi, it's real rock and roll.
@@juanmanu9652 maybe you’re right, what matters is that it’s good music
WOW! to you man.
@@snowwpea sounds american?......
A young black man rockin out to Led Zepplin. What a time to be alive.

The technology allows this to happen eh dude. And i am an old prick but this i LOVE about the IT. :)
It's awesome.
Brother I've been rocking to Led Zepplin for 40 years and I'm as black ad black can get! Along with Rush, Vanhalen and all the greats and I'm probably one of only a few black drummers that can match Jon Bonham ( RIP ) Neal Peart ( RIP ) and Alex Vanhalen stick for stick on the kit.
@@joemontana5018 rock and roll= skill and talent that has been trained over the years. HIP-HOP= raping over pre-rogramed beats from a computer.
Thank you for making this world more tolerable by promoting love joy and peace in a world that is so lost. I watched all of your videos that you upload and I find myself walking away feeling better. Thank you.
This song will touch the ears for generations upon generations to come! Absolutely beautiful!!❤
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page wrote that song in ONE evening. In a castle formerly owned by Alister Crowley. True story.
No
You know Jamel, all of these reaction videos from all of these people don’t seem genuine at all, except for you. You truly get it. I subjected my daughter to my music when she was growing up, and at the time, she hated it. Now, she’s proud to know and appreciates the music that I
grew up on. It brings me such joy to be able to see you discover and appreciate what all of us have known all of these years how great this music and these artists were and still are. Thank you.
Thanks Brotha🙏🏾
No one writes songs like that anymore. I could listen to led zep all day.
One of the very very very very best songs ever!!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍🎵🎵🎵amen.
After I listen to Stairway to Heaven I feel like I've just completed a journey of some kind.
James Knight acid trip in music form
It’s like these guys were able to put music and words to a beautiful vision and paint that vision with the appropriate words and sounds that can accurately be conveyed to all that hear/see it. It’s almost supernatural. It is supernatural. This is more than music man.
James Knight The Hero’s Journey. It’s a writing thing and the lyrics follow it.
the journey to rip a bowl.
I made my sons listen to this on a car radio driving home from a game and they were like, “this is boring...until...bam!” Ha ha
Man you have to watch the cover this really talented band did of Stairway. Just type in "led zeppelin kennedy center honors 2012" and watch the one with 28 million views. It's beautiful watching the band react to the cover. It was profound.
Edit: nevermind the next video up is you reacting to it! haha you're the man. This music is apart of all of us in such a profound, deep, meaningful way. I'm glad you're on board now too my friend.
As one of the people that was around back then... I appreciate your respect and thoughtfulness.
That's the difference between new music nowadays
and music that transcends time,
Stairway to Heaven evokes passion and emotion
where music like Happy are just fads
Paul Williams You are so so right Paul!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️👋♥️🇦🇺🇺🇸
That my friend is why that is one of the greatest songs ever made.
You sir are a breath of fresh air! Uplifting. I really smile watching you absorb the music and seeing and hearing your reactions. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Peace and respect from North East England.
Mark.
Our musicians are our poets so beautiful you could cry
One of the most iconic well composed song in all of rock history
This is considered by many as the greatest rock song ever. While there are other Zeppelin songs I love more, this one song has so much mass appeal is why it has this ranking. The beauty, musicianship, lyric writing, hard rock at the end....it’s magic. I’ve seen all of your Zeppelin videos thus far. I’ve been deployed to Kuwait and seeing your reaction to the band I live the most ha helped me get through this. So please do more
That ending was Epic!!
ah yes the days of lsd
PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND COME HOME SAFE!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your service!Stay safe!
This and Deep Purples Child in Time are easily my alltime favorite songs.
And We can't just "buying the stairway to Heaven". We must build Our "stairway to Heaven". All the best Jamel.👍
It was amazing, and I loved every minute of it. I saw that band 5 times, it brings back a lot of great memories
tears came to my eyes.I love young men and women listening and appreciating...music.
Yes, all the concerts. June, 1972: Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, and Led Zeppelin, three weekends in a row at the Seattle Coliseum. Tickets were $5.
you will never see that again
wow
Wow I got robbed, I saw Led Zeppelin in 1977 and my ticket was $9. The funny thing was, as we drove into the concert people were selling tickets for face value. In the same year a friend and I drove to Greensboro from Fort Bragg to see the Moody Blues on the night of the show. We got 2 floor seats. Ah, the good ole days!!!
@@roycrosby4941 Yes! Best memories anyone ever had, ever!
Cal Jams I & II, across the vineyard from my house, heard everything in my yard. Free.
Their music takes ur mind on a beautiful journey!
Watched them live at Knebworth 1979, all I remember was the lazer show late at night as I was quite young at the time but very memorible open air concert.
I am a 63 year old black man who at 15 years old heard this song and many like it. I loved this type of music. And at the age of 15 years old, when it definitely wasn't popular for blacks. I will say this, this music was way ahead of its time back then. And as you listen to it today 2020, it's still way ahead of your time now!!!!
Thank you!! I know what you mean I'm 62 and grew up farming in Ohio and all I had was a am radio you know one of those little ones and it was red and blue with a white dial. Listening to this song takes me way back... I now look around and try to remember how I got here then the song ends and I step back into stupidity of today!
As a white man who loves this music but also love and grew up on hip hop I'm glad you appreciate this music as well. Thank you for giving it a chance. Good music is good music no matter what the genre
I am from Pakistan. I am blessed to have seen great great country of America when I was student there. What an amazing place , my friend Thomas Wies introduced me to this fabulous music during my stay in the western most beautiful country of America. I live in Pakistan now for a long time. There is no other country like America in rich culture , architecture , so much diversity. Amazing America. ❤❤❤❤ Americans love Zeppelin more than .......
Thank god you got introduced to real music. I am from pakistan. And i live in karachi. Ad im 20 years old and i only listen to rock music especially the music of led zeppelin. And stairway to heaven is my favourite.
Starman. Welcome to the club buddy. We are honored to have you. Hearing you like this is awesome
Most beautiful song I've ever heard. When I was a Vegas pit boss I had a difficult situation and for some reason I began to pound out the base line of this song in answer to the angry shouts of the players. We all started to groove and started singing Stairway to Heaven. Got me a promotion thanks to Led Zepplin.
Led Zeppelin? that’s how it’s “done” boys and girls!!!
That is the reaction I would expect. My brother is deaf and if he could listen to one song in his life I could pick for him it would be Stairway to Heaven.
I'm of 2 minds about this comment...
1) If he could only hear one song this would most definitely be one of the top ones for him to for obvious reasons.
2) The other way to go would be to listen to the worst song in history...imagine only hearing stairway once and never to hear anything again...that would hurt me in my soul I think...whereas if you listen to some 3rd rate mumble rapper he would think hes not missing much and can go on living his life
does he feel the vibrations on the speakers. Many deaf folks I know still get some enjoyment from them in this way
I grew up on this music, and it's honestly a joy to see someone experiencing it for the first time!
Tim Dunn I did too. I raised my kids on it.
It's amazing to watch younger people fall in love with the same music we grew up on.
Our generation did a lot of stuff wrong but music is not one of them.
This song has my favorite Zeppelin quote "There's a feeling I get when I look to the West and my spirit is crying for leaving"
The last two minutes of this song are probably the greatest two minutes in any rock song ever.
Nope
Debatable. I find this song way overrated.
The last two minutes are nothing without the rest of the song. The whole buildup and tension. The parallels between beauty and brutality. Beautiful composition.
Almost
if you're gonna say nope then name another songdsmn
I love how this songs builds... the tension kills me in such a pleasurable way.
I genuinely forgot how beautiful this is. 😍
Bro don't worry about your reaction at the end. Zeppelin has a tendency to leave people speechless. GOAT
