Radio was forcing 3 minute format in the era but FM radio was new, was playing whole albums, and generally breaking different ground. Page deliberately targeted this new medium and kicked open the doors for longer format rock.
Patience is key. Not every song will be short and fast. Some of the most honest music is the music that took more time to make, and more often than not, it will be the longer songs on an album.
You shouldn't even call it patience, a song has to be heard and felt, not listened with patience, like it was some shit that you're looking forward for it to end
If you can get yourself in the habit of listening to full length albums, then 12 minutes is not that long. This was how everyone listened to their favourite music back in the day. They put the needle at the beginning of the record and let it play through. To us, the only difference between longer and shorter songs is that one take up more of the already 45-minute record. Had they all been short songs, it still would have been 45 minutes, just with a bunch of short songs rather than a just a few longer ones.
12 minute song. Par for the course . The Grateful Dead in early 70s ,would do 3 sets . Concerts were anywhere from 2 and half hours to 5 or more hours .

This song was an old Gospel Blues song of unknown origins, but having been first recorded and released by Blind Willie Johnson in 1928. The lyrics and instrumentals of the original, however, are very different from Zeppelin's version. This was a jam session that really can only be fully appreciated if you're jamming along with them. Jimmy Page plays the entire song with a slide which is a traditional Blues guitar tool that's essentially a cylinder of glass or brass that you put on your finger and run along the neck of the guitar to play the notes. It gives a very smooth "slide" between notes and allows for much more exaggerated vibrato.
@@marymargaretmoore9034 Actually the song was considered a variation of a traditional blues song when Reverend J C Burnett recorded it in 1926 as "Jesus make up my dying bed". When Willie Johnson recorded the song a year later most assumed his source was the Burnett version (directly or indirectly). While it's true that Johnson had the first released recording, Burnett actually had made the first recording. Not sure why it wasn't released, but I suspect the legal battle between Columbia Records and his small previous recording company at the time may have had something to do with it.
You're half right, we have listened to their whole albums, front & back sides, but I laughed at "hundreds". No, it's more like thousands of times. It never wears out, Zeppelin never loses that physical, emotional punch. Timeless indeed!
This is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs. Today's generation has a much shorter attention span. Back then music was a real art form. You really enjoyed it like a fine dinner.

@JD Hogg I for one never did any LSD. Not something I wanted to try. The length of the song didn't matter, a lot of songs were 3 minutes or less because that is what the radio stations wanted. When it is a really good song you don't care how long it. What I was commenting on was his comment about it being 11 minutes long and was finding the song slow at first. I find the younger generation has a shorter attention than us of sn older generation.I think that it is mainly due to the technology if today. Everything is at your fingertips now. The world has a much faster pace. When I grew up and yes I am close to 70 there were no cell phones, no internet. Heck, you were lucky if you had more than three TV stations. It was a slower pace.

@@algoner4421 there are definitely songs that have come out in the last 11 years that are better than certain Led Zeppelin songs. What makes them better may be subjective but that’s just what I believe
It's 11 minutes long because Jimmy Page's playing ripped an almighty hole in the space-time continuum. It's only 11 minutes long in our usual 4 space-time coordinates. When it was recorded it was simultaneously 7 seconds while also extending from the present back to our sun's very formation. You can hear the wormhole embedded in the song, with Page playing both a call and response, but with each call coming 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 its corresponding response.
OMG impatience of today's youth. I first bought this album when I was 14 can vividly recall listening to the ENTIRE album moment I got home. The sheer experience of the music the greatness of the songs on the ENTIRE album not just a hit single and then 10 songs of @#%! This song is a old Irish funeral dirge this song is incredible the passion the skill you could listen to each individual track of the band members as a stand alone piece and it's a work of art. Bonham's DRUMS!!!!!! Page's GUITAR!!!!!!😍 haven't even finished watching your react just had to say something. But one thing for sure you better not cut off the cough!!!!!!!!! (Old Zeppelin heads know what I'm talking about)
They make long songs because they have talent to actually play music and their lyrics tell a story , unlike the talentless computerized crap today that all sounds the same and has lyrics that sound like they were written by a 6th grader.
I highly recommend the DVD 'How the West was won' released in 2003 it's only 5 hours and 20 minutes. I've watched it several times excellent Zeppelin live footage. The best Zeppelin live footage you're ever going to see!
@@scottbegonias313 My parents had this one! I used to watch it all the time, I was completely taken with Robert and Jimmy. I was about 8yo - they must've been proud their great taste in music was instilled in me lol
funny how you talked about the lengths of the songs compared to the younger generation 2-3 minutes. I completely agree when you said the 11+ minutes went fast, speaking personally for myself when I listen to the younger gens stuff I'm like dang isn't this over yet. the long songs of old seem fly by but the short songs of new just seem to drag on and on.
Back then they weren't as concerned with radio. People had longer attention spans. Listening to music and appreciating the whole of a piece was an activity. Radio used to play albums or album sides frequently.
Had fun watching your reaction and pure enjoyment from a song I've heard hundreds of times over 47 years. Thanks for picking this Led Zeppelin classic.
A little patience goes a long way. Makes the fast parts that much more impactful. Plus it's a song about dying. Dynamics, artistic creativity, and drama. Not everyone will like it, but it has a purpose.
I think I was 17, it was the weekend and a beautiful day. I was in the garage downstairs and working on my Elsinore. I brought my phonograph and my newly purchased Physical Graffiti album. Turned it up full blast and digging my day. Played it over and over rockin out. My sister told me later that my mom said "if he plays that one more time I'm going to kill him". Great times. 1975.
I was 13, moved from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. 1975. Lost all my friends. My new next door nieghbor was 14 lived in his garage. Just happened to have a new album. Physical Graffiti. Parents also had a pony keg. What a summer.
Once upon a time there was a band called Led Zepplin. A band like this will never come along again ; Fortunately for us they left a lifetime of music. GOAT
Keep on suggesting Pearl Jam. Love your reactions. Love Zeppelin, just think the song “Black” would be one of the greats to add to your grunge era of listening. 😎
In My Time of Dying" (also called "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" or a variation thereof) is a traditional gospel music song that has been recorded by numerous musicians. The title line, closing each stanza of the song, refers to a deathbed and was inspired by a passage in the Bible from Psalms 41:3 "The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing, thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness". Willie Johnston was one of many who performed In My Time Of Dying. The songwriting credit on Zep’s version reads, “Bonham, Jones, Page, Plant”.
Marty Robbins classic song "El Paso" (country) was according to record execs , too long at almost 5 minutes. They told him to shorten it. He took out 10 seconds . It's 4:21 in length. It's a story song couldn't take out too much. It was a massive hit. Talk about a smooth voice.
Good to hear an honest, thoughtful reaction. Not a lot of crap like, this is genius, my soul has been transported to another reality, I am in awe, I’ll never be the same after this…
You can't listen to this song like that , you gotta lean back close your eyes and drift off to a different place. Every time I hear this I go back in time, I'm 8 sitting next to my grandmamma in church. God I miss her so much
You're an astute young man. Great reaction. Even to a first-generation Zep-lover, I feel this song could have edited out two or three minutes and been maybe even better as a listening experience, but it was also an exploration (one of many) into a genre of planned-out "jams." At least it sounds like a jam in spots, but I'm fairly certain it was all sketched-out ahead of time. Zep did short songs, long songs, medium songs, etc. All fascinating, some more brilliant than others. This one has grown on me over the decades.
The song length relates to the vinyl record format, which was serial play for about half an hour per side. Today we have digital format, where people have playlists of top songs. So the modern mode is more like a radio station playing hits, while albums were a commitment to listen for at least 30 minutes at a time. And we often had a stack of albums set to play or the same album on repeat.
Just to elaborate.... you had LP (aka full record) and EP (aka "half" record) too.... LP was your full album and a EP release could be anywhere from 3-6 songs. Cassette tapes for full length would go up to 90m depending on album length. CDs max out at 80m. Some of my VH albums(well cds) run about 35... whereas Metallica's black album goes to 79:59 lol.
I don't think I'm much older then you but I love the longer songs. They have more feel and vibe then a short 3 or 4 minute song. You feel mood and can relax to a longer song other then just trying to pay attention to short bits individually.
The artists of your generation write music for a generation that have no attention span. 2-3 minutes of one song is a marathon to most. Led Zep designed music like art. They wrote and played and generated a fan base, a music that was before its time. Long tracks that were meandering tunes and hard driven stompers. It is why over 50 years later we are all still listening to it.
It's obvious that this is a young person who does not yet have any appreciable breadth of musical experience. All of us were there at one point. With me it went from bubble-gum rock straight to Led Zeppelin, then jazz fusion, then modal jazz, and beyond. Who knows where this young person's trajectory will take him. I'm glad to see that he's ready and willing to experience new music (to him), even if he doesn't yet understand it. Hell, I still don't understand "free jazz", but I love to hear it.
Bro I’m 18 and a major zeppelin fan and you just gotta enjoy the artistry of the song. Its like a painting man, some are small, some are large, some are detailed, and some are simple but they’re all art. If you come in with that view even the 30 minute live performance of dazed and confused in Madison square garden can seem like a few minutes.
We live in a society of instant gratification, this is definitely reflected through todays music. Short, and crowd pleasing. Not much depth or complexity to it. Zeppelin made you work for the reward in a sense. But the reward is much more fulfilling in the end.
Performing long songs that dont get keep interest throughout is a joy and experience for the artist and the audiance. They are usually the ones that send chills down your skin and raise you hairs up. Concert experience changes everything
Dude, I love the way you were dancing and then completely stopped moving when the first guitar solo kicked in. I’m sure my facial expression was pretty similar the first time I heard it
I showed my other half a few seconds of your face at the beginning... Her response.... "bored" Skipped to you nearer the end.... Her response..... "sold!" And its that "sheer joy" that Led Zeppelin can create!
So, in 50 years will your 2 minute rap song you composed in one day be legendary? Led Zeppelin's songs will be around for-fucking-ever. Eat your heart out.
most of the current music is nice but they don't have much to tell at the end. those guys knew how to fill silence with ideas and thoughts :D nice to see your reaction
Thanks for the reaction. Songs were 2-3 minutes too on 45s and albums before the mid 1960s then many bands started "extended" songs before songs reverting back to 2-3 minutes later on as music changed. Short songs because record companies wanted to make sure the songs were in single format (45' records) playable on AM radio stations (=record sales=$$$ for the record companies not so much for the artists) AM radio was THE thing when Led Zeppelin started. Led Zeppelin was in the forefront of NOT doing songs that would be played on AM radio but helped start FM radio - Underground radio at the time - that would play extended songs and whole albums. Led Zeppelin crafted many of their songs in "movements" much like classical music - YES LIKE A PLAY as you said. They were masters of their instruments (they actually played them to produce the sound) and had great musical knowledge of rock, blues (which this song is based on early gospel/blues number) and music from other cultures and put that into their numbers. They also improvised a lot within those "movements" so that a song was never performed the same way twice. You need to see this live from a filmed performance - it's a whole other experience 🔥 th-cam.com/video/xTrQ7vUZsIo/w-d-xo.html Hope you'll check it out. Thanks again for the reaction!
LThis is my favorite LP from Led Zep. Epic Double Album! I still remember the first time I heard it! Listened through 3 times that night! Good Rock And Roll is awe inspiring!
you gotta love an old blues hook, simply amplified welcome to rock N roll . the 70's was a magical time for rock, songs like this are timeless. by the way this album was made when I was 1 year old

It's funny watching a teenager listening to Zep 50 years later, you have to wait for the wheels of recognition to engage and then you recognise yourself.
Hey respect to this guy he's not impatient it's just the music he's used to... you guys are impatient because you probably didn't finish his video before telling him he's impatient... this guys a chill dood
This is a cover song. The original artist was Blind Willie Johnson an iconic blues master up there with Robert Johnson and Howlin’ Wolf. All the heavy blues influenced rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s lifted songs from them .
Zeppelin like somebody else said their songs are exactly as long as they need to be. Their precision is mathematically impossible for every other band that ever existed.
Why an 11 minute song?
Because they can!!!!
Because they are the greatest!
Imagine it live in their prime, god.

Why? Because your generation are NOT artists! Don't flatter yourself by comparing yourself to real musicians. 👎👎👎

My favorite band. Keep your influencer mystic. You can't compare. I play this song on my birthday every year. Check out Achilles last Stand
Yeah, radio demands short songs. Idiots have a short attention span, but they spend money freely.
Next song you probably really want to react to (but don't know yet) should be "Apparente Libertà,” by Giancarlo Ferrari. Great piece of music.
'Hey Jude' was the exception.
Patience is key. Not every song will be short and fast. Some of the most honest music is the music that took more time to make, and more often than not, it will be the longer songs on an album.
A virtue!!
Kidz nowadays...🤨

It's 11 minutes long because Jimmy Page's playing ripped an almighty hole in the space-time continuum. It's only 11 minutes long in our usual 4 space-time coordinates. When it was recorded it was simultaneously 7 seconds while also extending from the present back to our sun's very formation. You can hear the wormhole embedded in the song, with Page playing both a call and response, but with each call coming 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 its corresponding response.
OMG impatience of today's youth. I first bought this album when I was 14 can vividly recall listening to the ENTIRE album moment I got home. The sheer experience of the music the greatness of the songs on the ENTIRE album not just a hit single and then 10 songs of @#%! This song is a old Irish funeral dirge this song is incredible the passion the skill you could listen to each individual track of the band members as a stand alone piece and it's a work of art. Bonham's DRUMS!!!!!! Page's GUITAR!!!!!!😍 haven't even finished watching your react just had to say something. But one thing for sure you better not cut off the cough!!!!!!!!! (Old Zeppelin heads know what I'm talking about)
We were just as impatient when I was young. Pop songs were 3 minutes or less back in the 60's. But then we moved on to bigger and better things.
I can't tolerate this kid. Will never watch him again. Big thumbs down.
It's because the younger generation's attention span has been reduced greatly over the years.
And their intelligence level
MY attention span has gotten shorter. I’m 64. We get instant gratification now. But any age can be mesmerized by Led Zeppelin.

The instant gratification generation
I'm 61...my attention span is just fine!
They make long songs because they have talent to actually play music and their lyrics tell a story , unlike the talentless computerized crap today that all sounds the same and has lyrics that sound like they were written by a 6th grader.
😂😂😂
Very well put. Every single song is about some high school or middle school love LOL
Couldn't have said it better!
Don't insult 6th graders
@JD Hogg you sound like a total jerk of. Now go home and get your shine box.
you've gotta start watching some of their live performances, man
Hell yeah, this one is great live.
He won’t because it’s too long
What?? A TWO HOUR concert of pure musical excellence?? Ain't got time for that! 😂
I highly recommend the DVD 'How the West was won' released in 2003 it's only 5 hours and 20 minutes. I've watched it several times excellent Zeppelin live footage. The best Zeppelin live footage you're ever going to see!
@@scottbegonias313 My parents had this one! I used to watch it all the time, I was completely taken with Robert and Jimmy. I was about 8yo - they must've been proud their great taste in music was instilled in me lol
This live from Earls Court is unbelievable!!
Very dramatic song. Builds quite a bit and gets very intense. I love the length of the song. The album is fantastic
This is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song because I could probably just listen to the drums isolated for 11 minutes and enjoy it
funny how you talked about the lengths of the songs compared to the younger generation 2-3 minutes. I completely agree when you said the 11+ minutes went fast, speaking personally for myself when I listen to the younger gens stuff I'm like dang isn't this over yet. the long songs of old seem fly by but the short songs of new just seem to drag on and on.
It's called a masterpiece. Your generation wouldn't know anything about that.
Back then they weren't as concerned with radio. People had longer attention spans. Listening to music and appreciating the whole of a piece was an activity.
Radio used to play albums or album sides frequently.
Had fun watching your reaction and pure enjoyment from a song I've heard hundreds of times over 47 years. Thanks for picking this Led Zeppelin classic.
Since you like the short songs be sure and react to Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Da Vida. Make sure it's the 1968 original version. 😁
Hahahahahah savage!
Definitely good one
Ahh yes. The old DJ had to take a dump song 🤣
Boom!!
A little patience goes a long way. Makes the fast parts that much more impactful. Plus it's a song about dying. Dynamics, artistic creativity, and drama. Not everyone will like it, but it has a purpose.
they recorded that live in the studio, ei they all got together and jammed out, recording it
Some of the finest electric slide guitar ever recorded.
I think I was 17, it was the weekend and a beautiful day. I was in the garage downstairs and working on my Elsinore.
I brought my phonograph and my newly purchased Physical Graffiti album. Turned it up full blast and digging my day. Played it over and over rockin out.
My sister told me later that my mom said "if he plays that one more time I'm going to kill him".
Great times. 1975.
I was 13, moved from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. 1975. Lost all my friends. My new next door nieghbor was 14 lived in his garage. Just happened to have a new album. Physical Graffiti. Parents also had a pony keg. What a summer.
I was 17 as well but I got the double cassette. What an album...
Once upon a time there was a band called Led Zepplin. A band like this will never come along again ; Fortunately for us they left a lifetime of music. GOAT
Keep on suggesting Pearl Jam. Love your reactions. Love Zeppelin, just think the song “Black” would be one of the greats to add to your grunge era of listening. 😎
Appreciate the daily uploads 🙏🙌
Its not the length of the song, its what you do with it o_O
😂
Haha
😅😄😂😈😆😉
In My Time of Dying" (also called "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed" or a variation thereof) is a traditional gospel music song that has been recorded by numerous musicians. The title line, closing each stanza of the song, refers to a deathbed and was inspired by a passage in the Bible from Psalms 41:3 "The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing, thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness". Willie Johnston was one of many who performed In My Time Of Dying. The songwriting credit on Zep’s version reads, “Bonham, Jones, Page, Plant”.
Marty Robbins classic song "El Paso" (country) was according to record execs , too long at almost 5 minutes. They told him to shorten it. He took out 10 seconds . It's 4:21 in length. It's a story song couldn't take out too much. It was a massive hit. Talk about a smooth voice.
Good to hear an honest, thoughtful reaction. Not a lot of crap like, this is genius, my soul has been transported to another reality, I am in awe, I’ll never be the same after this…
You can't listen to this song like that , you gotta lean back close your eyes and drift off to a different place.
Every time I hear this I go back in time, I'm 8 sitting next to my grandmamma in church. God I miss her so much
You're an astute young man. Great reaction. Even to a first-generation Zep-lover, I feel this song could have edited out two or three minutes and been maybe even better as a listening experience, but it was also an exploration (one of many) into a genre of planned-out "jams." At least it sounds like a jam in spots, but I'm fairly certain it was all sketched-out ahead of time. Zep did short songs, long songs, medium songs, etc. All fascinating, some more brilliant than others. This one has grown on me over the decades.
When the music is this epic, you don't even notice that it's a 12 minute song. This is Jimmy Page at his best. Love the slide.
The song length relates to the vinyl record format, which was serial play for about half an hour per side. Today we have digital format, where people have playlists of top songs. So the modern mode is more like a radio station playing hits, while albums were a commitment to listen for at least 30 minutes at a time. And we often had a stack of albums set to play or the same album on repeat.
Just to elaborate.... you had LP (aka full record) and EP (aka "half" record) too.... LP was your full album and a EP release could be anywhere from 3-6 songs. Cassette tapes for full length would go up to 90m depending on album length. CDs max out at 80m. Some of my VH albums(well cds) run about 35... whereas Metallica's black album goes to 79:59 lol.
The blues had a baby, it was rock n roll.
I don't think I'm much older then you but I love the longer songs. They have more feel and vibe then a short 3 or 4 minute song. You feel mood and can relax to a longer song other then just trying to pay attention to short bits individually.
same here i'm 22 and i've been listening to rck music and blouse all my life, sometimes i think i'm a boomer or something hahaha
The artists of your generation write music for a generation that have no attention span. 2-3 minutes of one song is a marathon to most. Led Zep designed music like art. They wrote and played and generated a fan base, a music that was before its time. Long tracks that were meandering tunes and hard driven stompers. It is why over 50 years later we are all still listening to it.
That was a good analogy. "They wrote this song like it was a play."
It's obvious that this is a young person who does not yet have any appreciable breadth of musical experience. All of us were there at one point. With me it went from bubble-gum rock straight to Led Zeppelin, then jazz fusion, then modal jazz, and beyond. Who knows where this young person's trajectory will take him. I'm glad to see that he's ready and willing to experience new music (to him), even if he doesn't yet understand it. Hell, I still don't understand "free jazz", but I love to hear it.
Bro I’m 18 and a major zeppelin fan and you just gotta enjoy the artistry of the song. Its like a painting man, some are small, some are large, some are detailed, and some are simple but they’re all art. If you come in with that view even the 30 minute live performance of dazed and confused in Madison square garden can seem like a few minutes.
They did this in one take in the studio, hence the 'that's going to be the one' quote from Bonzo at the end.
This is almost perfection bro!
It is perfect! If you listen to it again you will realize that would not be able to stop doing it!!💖
John Bonham’s playing is the highlight!
The Hammer of the Gods
We live in a society of instant gratification, this is definitely reflected through todays music. Short, and crowd pleasing. Not much depth or complexity to it. Zeppelin made you work for the reward in a sense. But the reward is much more fulfilling in the end.
This has an awesome groove. What a jam.
The interplay of the rhythm section on this song never fails to drop my jaw to the floor.
Props to you for being so honest.
Performing long songs that dont get keep interest throughout is a joy and experience for the artist and the audiance. They are usually the ones that send chills down your skin and raise you hairs up.
Concert experience changes everything
I say it all the time....with the greatest bands there is the album version you know and then there is the live show you love
Dude, I love the way you were dancing and then completely stopped moving when the first guitar solo kicked in. I’m sure my facial expression was pretty similar the first time I heard it
I showed my other half a few seconds of your face at the beginning...
Her response.... "bored"
Skipped to you nearer the end....
Her response..... "sold!"
And its that "sheer joy" that Led Zeppelin can create!
I'm glad you liked it, and they are Led Zeppelin, Rock Music Gods, welcome to a larger world.
So, in 50 years will your 2 minute rap song you composed in one day be legendary? Led Zeppelin's songs will be around for-fucking-ever. Eat your heart out.
most of the current music is nice but they don't have much to tell at the end. those guys knew how to fill silence with ideas and thoughts :D nice to see your reaction
Thanks for the reaction. Songs were 2-3 minutes too on 45s and albums before the mid 1960s then many bands started "extended" songs before songs reverting back to 2-3 minutes later on as music changed. Short songs because record companies wanted to make sure the songs were in single format (45' records) playable on AM radio stations (=record sales=$$$ for the record companies not so much for the artists) AM radio was THE thing when Led Zeppelin started. Led Zeppelin was in the forefront of NOT doing songs that would be played on AM radio but helped start FM radio - Underground radio at the time - that would play extended songs and whole albums. Led Zeppelin crafted many of their songs in "movements" much like classical music - YES LIKE A PLAY as you said. They were masters of their instruments (they actually played them to produce the sound) and had great musical knowledge of rock, blues (which this song is based on early gospel/blues number) and music from other cultures and put that into their numbers. They also improvised a lot within those "movements" so that a song was never performed the same way twice. You need to see this live from a filmed performance - it's a whole other experience 🔥 th-cam.com/video/xTrQ7vUZsIo/w-d-xo.html Hope you'll check it out. Thanks again for the reaction!
Take a look at Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans.
Double album - 4 songs.
Yep, 1 song per side... totally different kind of rock and roll...
Great reaction. You seem so surprised that you liked it. You almost seem reluctant to admit how much you like it lol.
Wait for it baby boy 💞💗💞💗💞
LOVE this song.
LThis is my favorite LP from Led Zep. Epic Double Album! I still remember the first time I heard it! Listened through 3 times that night! Good Rock And Roll is awe inspiring!
Great music takes a lot of patience to appreciate. Listen to this a bunch of times. Great reaction.
Thats a masterpiece
Absolute masterpiece. GOATS.
you gotta love an old blues hook, simply amplified welcome to rock N roll . the 70's was a magical time for rock, songs like this are timeless. by the way this album was made when I was 1 year old
Young man ,what a great adult reaction you have just given .your dad will be certainly even more proud of you .I would . you'll go far in life 👍👍👍👍👍👍💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
This song is originally written by Blind Willie Johnson who was an African American blues musician in the south during the early 1900's.
Most artists perform songs. A few create music, including new genres and/or rhapsodic mixtures of multiple genres all in one song.
Go Go wasn't type of music,it refers to "Go Go Girls(who were DANCERS on TV shows And in clubs.Mid to late 60's
They're so into it, that don't want to stop!
Lol cause we be tripping in our time. Love your Family good peeps my man.
They make 11 minutes songs, cuz they take you on a journey .
It's funny watching a teenager listening to Zep 50 years later, you have to wait for the wheels of recognition to engage and then you recognise yourself.
You should come back and react to In My Time Of Dying Live at Earls Court after a while. It's killer as well.
Hey respect to this guy he's not impatient it's just the music he's used to... you guys are impatient because you probably didn't finish his video before telling him he's impatient... this guys a chill dood
Be patient. Ugh, kids these days 🙄. They were just slightly older than you.
Good to hear you listening to Led Zeppelin. They are pioneers. Have you heard anything from the band Disturbed yet? They got a song called Stupify.
This is a cover song. The original artist was Blind Willie Johnson an iconic blues master up there with Robert Johnson and Howlin’ Wolf. All the heavy blues influenced rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s lifted songs from them .
Those 2 guitar solos are glass slide. That's what gives it that unique sound.
The Goats 🎸🎸
Zeppelin like somebody else said their songs are exactly as long as they need to be. Their precision is mathematically impossible for every other band that ever existed.
