listen to Killer by Alice Cooper
misty mountain hop and when the leavee breaks...
I was doing exactly the same thing in 1969 listening to the LP for the first time on my parents stereo. I was 9 years old.
@@romeoneverdies Led Zeppelin IV
Jimmy Page on Guitar and John Bonham on drums playing in one accord... now maybe you understand why Led Zeppelin stopped when Bonham die !!..without Bonham was Led Zep not the same !!!
I'm a simple man. Let me watch someone first loving something I've loved for literal decades, and I'm happy.
It's almost like hearing it for the first time yourself.
45 yrs for me, and I've turned many friends onto LZ.
this is truly one of the best debut albums of all time
Wrong! It is THE BEST debut album ever!
@@markhill9275Boston takes that spot for me
ok guys you have also Houses of the Holy album, Led Zeppelin again
@@markhill9275 Chicago Transit Authority was an unheard of before double LP debut!
I can't come up with any one better. Not Stones, not Doors. Boston probably the closest, but still...
That ear to ear smile displays exactly the way we all felt the first time we heard this album.
Enjoy the rabbit hole 😊
(my ears still hum and rattle) 67 y/o here. Yes saw them live and up front in those 70's
As well as the second, the third, the fourth etcetera...
It brings tears to my eyes seeing some one appreciate Zepplin so many years later. Hopefully 200 years from now Zepplin will still get the same reaction.
I was born in 1988, so way after Led Zeppelin had its peak.
I basically grew up with guitar sounds. Nirvana, Radiohead, Tool, Rammstein but also pop cultural Linkin Park, Green Day, Billy Talent etc. found their way on my speakers again and again, till today.
My love for guitars actually started from video games and anime. Many soundtracks were with some kind of e-guitar back in the day.
This childhood paved the way to for me to finally arrive at Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd at around 18 years, which in addition with Radiohead became my favorite bands of all time, by far!
So I really hope future children will have it as easy as me to appreciate these bands.
We need to make them aware of this kind of music.
They will
I was 15 in 1969 and when this album came out it made us all into Led Zeppelin fanatics. We listened to this album every day after school. It actually brought tears to my old eyes to see someone have the same reactions we did to Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham all these years later. I enjoyed watching you react very much!
this right here. She feels it too.
I was also 15 in 1969. This music still grabs me and takes me back!
same hear...i was 15 also...if i only knew back then...what i know now....wow...what a trip
same here 15 in march 1969
Me too...this album changed my life...still drumming to this day!
Watching you listen to Led Zeppelin brought Tears to this old man’s eyes
I love guitars, she says. Then, you've come to the right place. 😊
I love how much you're digging this, and how tuned into the different aspects of the music you are. There is hope for the younger generation after all. 🙂
Yes, what he said.
Agreed! Love the reaction! The Mighty John Bonham on drums!!!
You are absolutely my favorite reaction video presenter.
Almost 72 years old - and they still make me light up:-)
Not sure how she’ll take this but..... this is hotter than any naked lady vid......
Watching the expression on this young lady’s face and seeing her move to the rhythm of each song slung me through a time warp and brought me back over 40 years ago when I discovered this album and listened to it intently and in its entirety for the first time. I had heard scraps of it when it was first released and purchased by my brother who was 10 years my senior. But all I remembered was this one bands that he listened to sounded like no other at the time - and that sound was at once captivating and full of menace. Her reactions utterly mirrored my own from 40 years ago. The depth and brilliance of that band, the emotive character of their sound - listening to them was indeed like riding a roller coaster which jumped it’s tracks to soar through the clouds and returned crashing to earth leaving one dazed but pearling into the infinite depths of an oracle. I had forgotten how special this album was to me as I have long since discovered and embraced the entire LZ corpus. But this album remains fixed in my memory like a great love never to be forgotten.
So true, I was 9 when I fell in love.
Yes,yes,yes,what a masterpiece!!!each song took her and me in my day back to that emotional Rollercoaster of emotion !!!!,like a complete "Love Affair!!!with a beautiful woman!!!,only it was music,brilliant and life changing !!!they will always stand alone!!!,in my memories,!!! So happy these reactors finally listened to a full album !because back in the days we embraced the albums like a 10 course meal!!!delightful!!!
You Rule Verdy! Your expressions are priceless..the late 60s and 70s were totally magical, thank God for this music to calm the soul!
I can't even begin to imagine how amazing it must be like to hear this album for the first time!😂😂😂
Total bliss 😍🔥😍❤️😍🔥😍
Remember what I felt like. Blown the phuck away 😱
I remember in 1969 hearing for the first time, Good Times Bad Times, reaction was WOW, what was that?
remembering listening to this with my moms and pops during the 90s, it slaps
I remember. Aged 16. Blew my first wage on this in 74, less £1:50 for beer money for the weekend.
Nice job! 🙂
This album changed the trajectory of rock music. End of story. There was was nothing like it previously. And on guitar, let me introduce you to Mr. Jimmy Page.
'And on drums, Mr. John Henry Bonham. Moby Dick'. Yeah, I know Moby Dick isn't on the album. I just wanted to introduce The Beast!
The critics of the time panned the album. How wrong they were.
30 years from now, you'll still be listening to it. It's a masterpiece. It was wonderful to see you hear it for the first time👍
Listen to this man ↑ he speaks the truth
The band is timeless!!
Led Zeppelin, the perfect musical storm ❤❤❤
She is absolutely grooving at all the right chops! This IS how all of us Zep junkies felt when first hearing it. It is a thrill to see a young person reacting to this fantastic music this way. Well done!!!
So true Christopher!!!!
I'm 55 and your comments and physical reaction/movements to the music almost had me in tears. From the time I was 15 till now I grooved to music much like you, I still do it today. Don't ever be afraid to let music make your body move. Even if it's just tapping your foot. That means it's reaching you. Those that truly get it are like you and me. And there's millions of us out there. Cheers from the canadian Queen nut.
Yeah! Exactly the same expressions I had when I frirst heard Zeppelin as a 10 year old in 1974.😊😊😊😊
It blows me away to think of how much music these kids have to listen to to catch up! When we started Rock&Roll was only about 20 years old! Seeing these reaction videos is almost like hearing music through fresh ears and it’s good to see it move others so many decades later
Same
Jeff, I had the same reaction. I'm 54 and listened to them from about age 10. I remember just lying in my bed with the headphones on listening to this album when I was 12. I'm so glad that the younger people of today are finding this music. I think the reactions are so strong because it's music created in an unfiltered manner. It's not sterile and mindless like most of what's mainstream today.
@@johngolden5257 even to this day
Led Zeppelin is IMHO the greatest band of all time. Best vocals, best guitar, percussion and bass.
Led Zeppelin I a classic album, but they just got better and better. Hoping for more Zeppelin reactions.
Led Zep's first album has always been my favorite. It was so raw, and remember it was recorded in just a couple of days. You asked about how the guitar sounds so dirty, that's the effect of a Sola-Sound fuzzbox.
I love led zep and bought every album up to physical graffiti but this and led zep III are the cream of a very large crop .👌
@@johncoppinger3208 Don't sleep on Presence!
its not that they got better...they performed more songs....at the level in 1968 throughout the years following
@@gsxrkz Yes, they did not get better but different. I listened to all their albums in chronological order without a break when I was young about 50 years ago. I did that more than once and had a lot of fun. 😁
Good to see a young person actually appreciating one of the best rock albums ever recorded! Sure, some of the songs are kinda '60's LONG, but overall - a masterpiece.
Thank you for letting me hear this through your ears. It’s like I’ve heard it for the first time that I’ve heard of 1 million times. Thank you so much.
Your genuine appreciation and love for their music is so evident. It's wonderful to see and you make us old guys feel not so old.
01:30 Good Times Bad Times
06:02 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
15:19 You Shook Me
24:54 Dazed and Confused
I absolutely adore your reaction! Such a pleasure and somewhat a relief to see someone so young listening to and loving the music that I grew up with. Welcome to the word of Zeppelin! Four of the greatest musicians to ever play together. I look forward to following your journey. Love from Ireland. 💚
Killer album, At 60 I have been listening to this album since I was 8 years old and it never fails to deliver. Watching this young lady hear LZ 1 for the first time is magical. The angels came together to get the LZ line up just right, there are many bands but none that come close to LZ.
Imagine 53 years ago hearing Zeppelin for the first time after a decade of Beatles! Total Revalation! Seeing you discover one of the greatest bands in history takes me WAY back! I saw them in 1969 at a small venue in Cleveland when I was 22... went home in time to see Armstrong step on the Moon! An evening like no other!🙂 There is SO MUCH MORE greatness to come!
where in Cleveland?
I just listened to that show on TH-cam about two months ago. Pretty good bootleg recording. Iron Butterfly was supposed to open the show. They never showed up.
Bloody Hell, that's a day you can NEVER forget. I am soooooo jealous.
imagine listening to them (LZ) today 4/25/2022, comparing them to american idol..europe idol, cardi b...and the other underperforming non bluesy new stuff...thank god for the goat in page, plant, jones and bonham....the young generation truly has no idea of the material that was achieved..."soul" in its truest form
@@davidgreene7676 Not only that, but artists who were the masters of their instruments, no sampling, no autotune and live music that was for the most part even better than the studio version. Music with passion and feeling and not "created" to a supposedly winning formula. Fortunately there is still music like that around, it's just not "popular".
I loved watching this - my first time watching anyone reacting to Zep. It’s a beautiful thing.
"Dazed and Confused" is one of the greatest songs ever! John Paul Jones bass is epic! A great blues based bit of classic Psychedelia!!!
Agree. Jake Holmes can say Page stole it all he wants, but Jake could have never made the song into the powerhouse of light and shade that Zeppelin did. I would say the "Inspired by Jake Holmes" printed on current releases is accurate.
You forgot TRUE ST Heavy Metal song of the late 60's
jimmy page actually wrote dazed and confused when with the yardbirds and there are recordings of him playing it with them in 1967 th-cam.com/video/uHWQtRjGHgo/w-d-xo.html
he had a version of dazed and confused with the yardbirds
@@jktz122 > No 💩 , He had at least 8 different versions Including original lyrics by
Jake Holmes .
Led Zeppelin never recorded a bad song.
you speak absolute truth. Never a bad song.
hot dog hehe
Not True. They have a few duds. No one is perfect. There’s a few I can live without hearing again.
But this album isn’t one of them.
Good reactions! This album is one of the flawless ones. Their debut is a classic! It definitely has some twists, turns and surprises. Like how they go from hard rock to an Acoustic number. Then psychedelic, then a slow Blues number then Communication Breakdown! Which is a shock the first time you hear it. And then Dazed and Confused which is another wild ride and then they wrap it all up with the barn burner How Many More Times which is an amazing closer! They came out of the gate roaring. Page knew how to deliver the goods!
👏🏻🎸😎
Weeeeeellllll I wouldn’t go THAT far. I’m a HUGE Zep fan but Immigrant Song….not loving that one.
@@gregman1069 Listen to the live versions. Especially 1971. I never liked the studio version of that song.
There is a reason Led Zeppelin was/is the best rock and roll band of all time.
Phenomenal musicians
don't let Eric hear you say that 🙄🤣
Recommendation…. Listen to all 9 albums from start to finish. You will then realize why this is the greatest band ever!! No pro-tools.. no auto tune. Just pure talent!!
This is at least tied for greatest debut. First 4 were great but they kind of lost me after that. Got ponderous.
they EXPLODED out of the gate with this album! the singer and drummer were barely 20 years old when they did it. they simply blew everybody away from the very beggining
Of course, we learned later that really the LP should have been called 'Led Zeppelin play their favourite Mississippi Blues classics'.
@@BenjWarrant partly loll but playfhem they most certainly did!
Plant was barely 19 btw.
@@sumac64 20
Yup he beat those skins. And jimmy was great jimmy and srv.
This entire album was recorded and mixed in just 30 hours. This is how naturally tight and talented these 4 musicians were from the very start. This is collective and individual creative genius on full display! Jimmy Page: Guitars/composer/arranger/producer, John Paul Jones: Bass guitar/keyboards,/arranger, John Bonham: Drummer extraordinaire (and beyond compare) Robert Plant: Vocals/lyrics.
Robert Plant:Harmonica.
Saw Led Zep play here in Perth Australia early 70s. I'm 82 years young and still rocking mainly in my rocking chair, love and peace from Perth Australia, so good to see the younger generations keeping this music alive. 😎🎵🎶🎵🎶💕
PS I believe this is the greatest Rock, Blues Album ever recorded.
There's so much about later Led Zeppelin that I deeply love, but you're right. For raw bluesy rock, this is the pinnacle.
Justin Keep Rockin I'm 60 and I'll always listen to Led Zeppelin or as they were called early 1968 The Led Zeppelin.
Certainly one of the strongest DEBUT rock albums ever. I know tons of people say Boston's first album is the best debut, but very few mention the Allman Brothers' first album - very solid!
Addendum - I can't argue with the colossal success of Boston's first album, so no disrespect intended.
@@Mister_Samsonite Yes Lawrence, variety is the spice of life, especially where music is concerned, thanks for the post, and hi from Perth Australia 😎👋🎶🎵🦘
THE BEST EVER BAND OF ROCK!!!
Jimmy Page, one of the all time great guitarists, John Bonham, one of the greatest drummers, John Paul Jones, one of the great bass guitarist and Robert Plant one of the great singers, legendary band. I had the pleasure of seeing Led Zeppelin perform this album in NYC in 1969 when I was 15. It was their first US tour. If you really like 60s/70s music, here are a few of my favorite bands to check out:. Cream, Jethro Tull, The Who, and David Bowie to name a few
The Who and David Bowie may be difficult as they may get blocked. Such a shame too.
@@bobby666666 I will never understand that, a reaction is fair use under copyright law but YT are pussies
Let's not forget Deep Purple.
@@tonybaker55 Who?? 😂 Yes, there are just so many great bands from the 70s like Yes.
@@jefffiore7869 The Daily Doug by Doug Helvering has done Yes as well as Pink Floyd
some fun going through this with you verdy! Good idea to start with their first album, can't wait to get to the next part
hope she lasts till the when the levee breaks!! LOL
Nothing like a French Woman, who can so easily express their feelings with this classic album! Tres Bon! Your musical interpretation was excellent! I was feeling that, right there, with YOU! This is the way these albums were meant, to be played Side 1 done VERY WELL!
It just gets better and better from here. Not a single bad song form them, no matter how many styles and genres they dabbled in. 4 of the greatest musicians ever created the greatest rock band ever.
Enjoy the ride.
Hey cutie! Glad you're going down the Zeppelin rabbit hole. They paved the way for the hard rock and heavy metal acts of today. Glad to be on this journey with you! See you on the next one! 👍👍❤
"This sounds like a blues...like a nasty blues type of feel". What an accurate description. That made me smile!
Hi, I'm a 72 years old grandfather and I got to your site by accident searching for a Led Zeppelin version of a song ! First, I was surprised then I was curious to see your reactions to this album ! You're really a breath of fresh air, you immediately reminded me some 53 years ago when I too listened to Led Zeppelin I for the first time, I was absolutely in the same state and I still am to this day because this was also my first led Zeppelin album ! I listened to the first part and then to the second one, I simply couldn't stop listening, for a moment there, I was 20 years old all over again ! Please don't change, stay true to yourself and continue to spread the "classical" musc to the youth of today ! This music as you have heard by yourself is still actual suffice that somebody like you show it to the world ! Bonne chance et continue ton bon travail !
I knew about the call and response in Dazed and Confused between the singer and guitarist but I never noticed the same thing between the drums and bass. Thanks for pointing that out!
PS Jimmy Page uses a bow to make that erie sound on his guitar right before the solo.
Verdy, someone's probably said this already but when this album came out, the world had never heard anything like it. I've listened to Led Zeppelin I thousands of times in the past 50 years and am glad it's now part of your life's musical journey. I'm almost 60 and still play air guitar just like you. Thanks from Colorado.
When you said "I'm having so much fun right now," I could tell. That smile never left your face the whole time, and it was genuine.
Great reaction! If you like guitars, this is the band for you. Page is a master with the lead guitar, and Jones on bass is untouchable. Throw in Bonham on drums and Plant on the vocals and boom goes the dynamite
If a guitar is the way to your heart. Then Led Zeppelin is the band for you.
Jimmy Page is an incredible talent. Always has been.
that stands for bass, drums and vocals as well though, i dont think there has been another band before or since that had such equal amounts of talent on each respective part they played, of course page wrote most of the music and produced a lot of the albums.
@@King_Flippy_Nips Just one thing, Sir; Mr. Page produced ALL of Led Zeppelin's albums. Have a good one!
@@King_Flippy_Nips not to mention. Robert Plant has some sweet harmonica playing behind that wailing voice
He recorded this using a telecaster. Who would have thought.
Live he used 59 Les Paul.
Invest in a pair of open back over-ear headphones. I'm sure your bud earphones don't sound bad, but some wide soundstage open back headphones would really make all this 70s rock you're discovering really pop.
One thing no one can deny, Led Zeppelin will take anyone's musical virginity along with being in my opinion the best 4 piece band anyone has ever seen. Each member was a master and fully understood there instruments. Jimmy Page was #1 and to this day nobody comes close.
Love your reactions !! Love how you enjoy every part of this album. This album came out in the Summer of 1969 when FM Radio was taking over the airways in South Florida I was 21 yo. I heard this entire album while driving. It was broadcast on a late night session (named "The Steven Alan Rosenberg Electronic Radio Machine), out of Miami. It BLEW MY MIND !! The DJ also mentioned they were playing at "Pirates World" a local amusement Park, this weekend for 2 nights. I bought 2 tickets, for both nights. Mind BLOWN again.
That "rough sound" you mentioned is called overdrive. It's where the tubes in the amplifier are driven so hard that it distorts the output of the signal. What Jimmy Page used to get that really distorted tone on 'You Shook Me' was a Maestro FZ-1 Fuzztone fuzz pedal.
It's a harmonica (in English) on "you shook me" that Robert Plant (lead singer) plays (blows into). I remember when I was in high school in 1969 and the needle dropped on the vinyl, we were just like you-first we were speechless and then we played our air guitars and hair drums and jumped up and down. Thanks for your passion.
Not to mention that Hammond B3... JPJ takes you to church. Zep and a couple other bands, literally repopularized organs in modern music.
Us too, freshmen in high school, 6 of us in my friend's family cellar and when we put it on our perception of what great music was had been altered forever. One of the very best debut albums by anybody and so unique, they had their own sound right away. They will always be heard.
Ah, the ol' hair drums.
the live version in 1969 at the whiskey a go go is ferocious...truly one of its kind
@@BenjWarrant 😉
The best Hard Rock band ever, this album was a blueprint for all who came after. Great reaction and look forward to more, great music translates across all generations and countries. Enjoy! 🎸
Hard rock? They were also bad ass blues players, folk, and true poets!
Come on you know, led Zeppelin was not hard rock. They were just a great blues band that were really good at writing rock and roll songs. . But absolutely the blueprint
Vic’s spot on, of course they were blues orientated but they were a hard rock band, they were the template for all the hard , heavy rock that followed.
@@michaeldavid8690 I lived it back in the day, everyone, people in the industry and the people who had an ear for music trends said they were the first, true hard rock band
Their style evolved, especially from the 3rd album on, though they tried many types of music, they always had a foot in the Blues. Great music no matter what you call it, we will listen to them forever...
Even Jimmy and Robert don't refer to themselves as a hard rock band. Yes they played what you could consider hard Rock.Sick Again.,etc but playing in Hot Tuna for years we were blues band been on any given night Rock just as hard as they did. They are a blues band 4/4 time and all that
Tres Bien!! Probably the most fun and smiling for me in a long time. Thankyou. You know an album is really good when someone asks what was your favorite song so far...... And you can't give them an answer. 4 of the most talented musicians on the planet! Ok, ready for part two of this debut album. Enjoy 🙂
The band that never gets old
This was the foundation, but wait until you experience the tower they built on top of Led Zeppelin 1. You are in for a wonderful journey. I was younger than you are now when I got exposed to this music and I realized that I'd found the sound I had been searching for my whole, short life. Welcome to the club, we are so pleased to see new generations discovering our beloved music.
OMG so cool to see you young people discovering this kind of stuff and appreciating it so much. I'm 60 years old and have been listening to this all my life. it still makes me feel the same way it obviously make you feel. Really bridges our generations. Beautiful! There's so much more.
Greatest band ever in my opinion...those strange sounds during Dazed and Confused the guitarist Jimmy Page is using a violin bow on the guitar
Cello bow
@@HollisDuty its a violin bow...and I talked to Jimmy about it and he confirmed it, the idea of using a violin bow was given to Pagey by actor David McCallum's father who was a violinist and he suggested to Pagey that it might create some brilliant sounds and so he gave him a violin bow to try on his guitar, and btw a violin bow is longer than a cello bow, also Jimmy has said countless times that it is a violin bow and yet people keep mistakenly saying it's a cello bow
That’s interesting since I’ve heard him call it a cello bow. But hey, whatever. Still cool music.
Violin bow sizes range from 17 to 27 inches, while cello bows range from 23 to 28 inches.
@@HollisDuty violin bows for adults measure 29 .5 inches...
This album came out when I was 14 - it changed my life.
I'm now 67 and it still sounds as fresh as when I first heard it.
Your reaction brought me to tears. Reminded me of my lost youth. Thankyou. 🥰
Every single element of this band had great moments on every single song. No one ever overshadowed the other.
The first song on their debut album is a banger right out of the gate. People had never heard anything like this before. One of those rare albums that's a genre changer. You need to replace one of your posters for a Zeppelin poster for sure. If you like acoustic guitar you should listen to Supper's Ready by Genesis. It's one whole album side.
When I first started watching, I thought the poster on the left was "Houses of the Holy" cover, but quickly realized my eyesight sucks! :D
@@charliemac64 damn i literally thought the same.
My friend Rachel and I walked into Our Price in Woking in 1989 and they were playing this. We were at 6th form and although I'd heard the album growing up (4 older brothers into rock and metal), I hadn't heard it in years. We were transfixed and rushed to the counter to demand to be told what it was. We bought the album on cassette (yes, really), and went home, got stoned and played the hell out of it.
Yup... I was a teen in the 80's and we lived on a steady diet of weed, Zeppelin, Floyd, Beatles, Stones, and Aerosmith.
@@Mr.Ekshin You are me! But I'm 63 now. Did it earlier!
@@sterioapple - Well yeah... 80's pop music SUCKED... it was mostly hair bands banging away on synths. So most of the teens I grew up with listened to 70's and even 60's classic rock. Basically all the same stuff you were listening to a decade before us.
There was always one rogue Our Price employee!
Better late than never...
😎
Imagine, in 1969 , aged 18, and my friend brings round a new album, Led Zeppelin, for my friends and me to listen to. And we listen to it, and The Rest Is History !!!
You’re exactly the same age as my mom, and I’ve always been so jealous that she got to grow up with all the best music when it was brand new. I’m just thankful that she raised me on all those same great bands as well, and I hope to do the same with my kids someday!
51 here and saw the title and my first thought is ohh you're going for a ride, Enjoy and welcome to the fandom. You are in for a hell of a fun experience.
People for hundreds of years will still be listening to Led Zeppelin that's the beauty of music
Yes, Yes, Yes!! Finally Led Zeppelin! OMG you are going to love this band so much. This is top tier rock and roll, blues, rock, ballads. Your smile is so great! Love watching you get into this. You just won't get enough. I still listen to Zeppelin and love BabyMetal, BandMaid, Love Bites, etc. so I get you when you are into the music.
I love your genuinely enthusiastic reaction to this classic Led Zeppelin LP. I was at a local record store (Rochester, New York) the week this album was released. Led Zeppelin wasn't even on the radio yet in my region of the country, but I purchased it because I saw the face of Jimmy Page on the back of the album cover. I knew Page from the Yardbirds, one of my favorite groups of the mid 1960's. He proved himself to be a terrific and unique guitarist in that band, so I was certain that this would be an album I would like very much. Needless to say, I loved it immediately. And more than a half century later, I love it just as much. I've been an avid listener of Rock for decades, and, in my opinion, Led Zeppelin is the greatest Rock and Roll group in the history of the genre. It was a real kick for me to see you enjoying it just as much!
Definitely one of the greatest albums of all time, I remember when I first heard it as a teen - totally blown away, probably even more so now when hearing it through the ears of a new fan.
I was 16 when this LP was released, and I recall exactly where I was when I heard it for the first time. I was blown away! I had never heard anything like it, and it remains my favourite LZ album. It’s fun to watch you react to the music for the first time. P.S. Dazed and Confused was previously recorded by the Yardbirds (same guitarist) with a different feel.
I was 17 ;)
My father was a preacher, so I'd only ever heard religious country and western music. So back in the 70's I was on the way to this christian youth camp one time, and I was in the back of this guy's car, and I grabbed a tape off the floor and put it in the cassette player. The batteries were starting to go a bit flat, and the first song that came on was Misty Mountain Hop, and aside from anything else, that monotone he sings the start of each line in was even more pronounced because of the low batteries, and it absolutely *BLEW MY MIND.* I had no idea there was music like that. I asked if I could borrow the tape and I haven't stopped listening to Led Zeppelin since.
So ... like you I remember exactly where I was when I heard Led Zeppelin for the first time, but I started with IV. Having said that, I absolutely LOVE the first album, because they were so raw - they'd only known one another for a month when they recorded it - and I don't think people nowadays understand how different it was from anything else that was being released then? If I had to choose whether to take I or IV to the desert island, I don't know which one I would choose, but it might be IV, just because she was my first.
You know?
🤣
At any rate, I love these reaction videos, because they give me a reminder of what it was like to discover this incredible band for the first time all those years ago...
I was only 6, so I don't remember...
But I have an equivalent memory of Dark Side of the Moon! Where, when, in whose company. My younger brothers probably don't remamber...
I was a high school aged McDonald’s grillman when I was asked by one of the cashiers if was going to see the Zeppelin concert? I replied that I’d never been to a concert. Her jaw dropped! She said “you’re going!!”. I met them and dropped my car and off we went to Atlanta stadium in a primmer red 1956 Chevrolet. Festival seating, in the infield, the best thing that I’d ever done before. I worked my way closer to the stage and half way through the concert, the croud in front of me parted and I was standing there in front. “This is great!” Just me and the band. Then the tear gas hit me. Security had maced the croud that was trying to get on the stage. Needless to say I retreated. Awesome show, I’ll never forget it. I love you loving their debut album! Carry on!
When I first heard this way back in the 70's it blew me away, suddenly the whole world seemed to have changed, it was like there was everything that came before this album and then everything after was never the same again - powerful stuff!.
One of the original Zeppers here..... was trudging the swamps and rice patties of Nam when this came out.... So wonderful to see that the younger generation is still jamming to Zep.... Does my heart so good to see you so into my fav group of all time..... Bless you, young lady... keep it up..... love your reactions.
God bless you for your service and glad Zep was there to bring a little bit of calm to a brutal situation. My brother in law was at Khe Sanh in ‘68.
@@SIXSTRING63 Thanks, my friend. Appreciated. Was on shore phu quoc, an thoi my first year tour. Second tour was stationed on swift boats on the Mekong Delta.... Zep helped heaps at the time. There from 68-70. I have always made a point to thank my Father above regularly for getting me home.
Thank you for your service my cousin was an MP
heyy--is this Walter? Walter Sobchak?
Respect from the UK. I was at teacher training college at the time. Not quite as challenging as the VietCong but bonded by our love of Led Zep.
😀 Congrats--You are the first reactor I ever heard recognize that on "Dazed and Confused" the drums and the bass were doing "call and response" at the same time the singer and the guitar were doing it. PS-the strange guitar on "Dazed and Confused" was Jimmie Page playing his guitar with a violin bow.
I am so happy to see you hearing Led Zepplin for the first time. This is my favorite band of all time. Your genuine response to the music is very refreshing. Best reaction video I have seen. "Whoo!"
It is so refreshing to see the younger
generation digging Zeppelin.
Here's the good news .......You have albums II, III, IV, HOUSES OF THE HOLY, PHYSICAL GRAFFITI, TSRTS (LIVE ALBUM), PRESENCE, IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR and CODA. Not to mention numerous
"greatest hits compilations and sessions". There's no filler tracks or even deep cuts. And watching your reaction to every song so far only proves this.
Every Zep song is known to everyone who knows Zeppelin .
This is my 1st time seeing your channel and I like that your reacting to a whole album . Looking forward to seeing your reaction part 2.
They Recorded this Album in 15 Hours... with Another 15 Hours Mixing... Jimmy Page said they had only been a band for 2 and a Half Weeks and wanted to Make sure that everything on the Album would be Able to Be Played by them LIVE. Literally GODS of Rock and Roll ))) ))) ))) =)
Doing it right! Start from the beginning and just go through the timeline! Can’t wait until you get to the live stuff from Madison Square Garden.. “The Song Remains the Same” Movie is that show plus some theatrical intro’s to the band members. Here’s the concert, when you get there.. m.th-cam.com/video/uXX-obgPkJ8/w-d-xo.html do the albums in order though. Welcome to The Mighty Zeppelin!
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and YES are the 3 greatest bands to ever do it. Check out 'Yours Is No Disgrace' or 'Starship Trooper' by YES, you won't regret it.
I absolutely loved watching your reaction to hearing Zeppelin for the first time. I still get goosebumps listening to them even after 40 years. Can't wait to watch part 2!
So I was maybe 14 or 15. I was lookin g through the albums in the local record store (drug store with a record section). There was this album with the Hindenburg burning on the cover. I didn't see anything else that I was willing to spend a dollar fifty on and I liked the artwork.
Took it home and put it on my crappy little record player up in my room.
My life was changed forever.
More than five decades later it's good to see that joy of discovery in another face.
Hey hey and hey, Not Rachel :-)
I think from now on when I want to hear this album, I'm going to always come back to your reaction -- much better than just the album alone!!!
And, thank you for pointing out things that I had previously either ignored or never noticed.
One thing that listening with you brought home to me was that the "guitar solos" weren't really guitar solos -- they were just the songs evolving organically -- they weren't forced into the song structure.
---
Anyway, I'm so jealous that you have entered this journey at the very beginning -- what tiny fraction of other listeners ever got to hear LZ for the first time listening to their first song from their first album????
So, please keep it up and go through their albums as they made them -- it will be a nearly unique experience.
BTW, I suspect that you will actually know a few songs in their catalog, you just don't know that you know them yet.
( ps HOW did your father NOT introduce you to this band?????!!! )
( pps Comments are turned off on Pt 2 here on YT )
Later, dude ;-)
Yeah, first song, first album, first listen. I'm not sure more than a handful of people can say that.
@@MoMoMyPup10 there are afew doing it here and its GREAT to see their reaction
@@Scoobydcs Zeppelin I? Full album from Track 1 and never heard Zeppelin before?
@@MoMoMyPup10 yeh theres a few reactors who have and are doing the zepathon. theyve normally reacted to 1 or 2 and then gone WOW I NEED TO CHECK THESE GUYS OUT PROPERLY. the best being sould train bro, hes great and jimmy page is now his favourite musician lol
If you love guitars, as I know you do from your Floyd videos, then you will love Jimmy Page in Zep. I can't wait for you to get to LZ IV, it's on par with Dark Side of the Moon for greatest albums ever.
I don't even know what people would do if such a banger of an album came out today. It's just so distinctly badass- resonating in every dark corner of my tired old soul. God rest JB's soul he was such an absolute beast of a drummer. Thank you so much for this reaction, it's as close as I could ever come to hearing this with fresh ears.
Considered by many |rock fans to be among the greatest debut albums of all time! It is certainly deserving. A fantastic album!!!
MeThinks only Boston can meaningfully compete for that title :)
My favorite band LED Zeppelin! Glad you like it .Makes you feel happy. Let your feelings go!
Watching you experience Led Zeppelin for the first time does my old heart good! Thanks!
Jimmy page would also use a violin bow on his guitar to get some pretty crazy noises. I think that's what he was using when you said "can a guitar do that?"
Thanks again for a fun share! Cheers!
BTW if you want to know just how overwhelming Led Zep were
Check out "The Forbidden Riff" banned from every good guitar store (also incl in the movie Waynes World.... "No Stairway!..... DENIED!" 🤣
&
Jack Black officially requests permission from Led Zeppelin to use Immigrant Song for the movie "School of Rock" 🤣
Their first few albums were phenomenal! However, they’ll keep you going album after album. You can get lost in Emerson, Lake , and Palmer also. They give you a different sound each album at Led Zeppelin level of musicianship. More Zeppelin, and maybe start with Trilogy by EL&P.
Watching your reaction and comments is like hearing it again for the first time. Their music is timeless, brings tears and goosebumps
And that was pretty much my reaction to it in 1968. Just the first two chords on Good Times, Bad Times let you know that something special had hit the music scene. Good to see a young person enjoying this first LP so wholeheartedly.
That was more than the start of the album it was the start of the greatest group in the world
ZEP aren’t the GOATS of rock, they’re the GODS of it.
Wish I could go back and experience that journey of discovery once again. You’re very lucky 😭😂
So glad you listened to this album straight through. Since the primary releases of music were in record format, many artists planned the songs with a particular order - designed to flow from one to the other, a context for each other. I'm not really nostalgic and I understand the marketing and delivery of the digital world today, but sometimes when I hear a song I miss the presence of the songs around it that provided a mood and sensibility missing when it is played on its own. The first issues of DVDs broke up each song into separate, discrete units and ruined the flow of songs that were meant to segue smoothly, one to the other. Great review! Keep up the good work!
Qww
Love this! Led is the heavy, Zeppelin is the light.
Love these reaction vids, and it's great that the younger generations are digging this music now, but I always wonder how anyone could NOT have heard this before
"You Shook Me" is a song by Willie Dixon, one of the fathers of Electric Blues.
Zeppelin took the song and supercharged it beyond belief! 😳😎
The first album is a peak of honest, raw, musical creativity that was never really surpassed, by zep, in my opinion.
If you love guitar though, you'd be better served listening to hendrix, band of gypsy's, Machine Gun.
I can kind of agree in a way. I love the 1st album to death and I think its weakest track is "Black magic mountain"
The 2nd album got close but i always felt that something was missing from it.
@@DiscreetHobo he actually recorded it before, on the final yardbird album in 1967, little games. I think they had a real lack of material...
It's awesome to see you enjoying this legendary band. I'm sure you've seen it already but just in case you haven't, the band members are Robert Plant - vocals and harmonica, Jimmy Page - guitar (one of the greatest guitarists ever), John Paul Jones - bass guitar and keys, and John Bonham - drums (also one of the greatest ever). This band was made up of four of the most highly talented musicians to ever put music on vinyl and all of them were in their 20's, two just barely 20, when they recorded this album. This album is an absolute classic but their entire discography is worth checking out.
The best reaction to the mighty Led Zeppelin ever! Brilliant!
