Just wanted to tell you that I love your style of reacting. You don’t stop the music and when you comment, it’s like we’re hearing/watching it with a friend. I appreciate that. The 1973 MSG version is a must see. It is 28 minutes long and has a fantasy sequence (Jimmy’s) in it. It’s worth every second.
the time signature sounds wierd because jimm is play a different time signature to the bassline! its SOOOOO easy for that to fall apart because theyre coming back together at different parts. BRILLIANT musicians
@@Scoobydcs no because it was never just the guitar that changes, it's guitar and bass. They go into 5/4 while the drums play through at 4/4, then they meet in 20 beats. And no they didn't do it live. There are a lot of nuances in the studio version that they didn't do live.
This song has always reminded me of my childhood. My dad, whom I'm not close with, was a big classic rock person. I guess the one thing I can thank him for is exposing me to rock. Led Zep... the best.
Great version. Jimmy changed so much from the studio, and other performances. He's just out there thinking " I'll do this insted" . Once when asked about other people's music he said " I haven't heard it, I'm too busy with our music."
My favorite Zeppelin song. My sister's album and whenever she wasn't around I'd listen. Yup I got the single and my brother still has it. He kind of "found" all the old records stored at my parents. From my grandfathers 78's to my 45's and everything in between. Great reaction. Bringing back the memories. 😎
If the Dazed and Confused you reacted to was 28 minutes, that is the one from MSG. Since you've been able to hear some studio and watch the same song live, you can appreciate the improvisation that went on. They found it more exciting to perform the songs as the mood hit in the moment rather than try to faithfully recreate the album cut.
Robert had lost his upper register late in 1972 , never fully recovered it. You can easily tell he can’t come close to matching the 1971 studio versions. The 1972 live album How The West Was Won has him still at peak voice, on this track and others. Page, Bonham, and Jones of course remain on fire though for the duration. Plant, realizing his upper limitations, remained great by more fully developing his mid and lower range, adding even more grit and style ; shooting for the stars only occasionally. Sometimes with more success than others. No matter. His legacy is cemented for all time.
@@boki1693 It has to do with Page's genius as a producer and all the overlaying of instruments he did that often can't be reproduced live. It's not a matter of one version being better than another because who doesn't love watching LZ perform? But to not listen to studio versions is missing out on just what Page was trying to create with their music. Listening to both versions is getting the best of both worlds. ;)
@@jmar7631 I agree, listening to both versions is the way to go. But we all know that most reactors won't listen to both versions. And to be fair I think SalvoG has done a great job of doing both so far. And Page has said regarding to his "sloppy" guitar playing that he was more a "feel" musician than someone that was technically perfect. So this comes down to a pure preference thing. Would you rather hear a perfect version of the song the way it was suppose to sound, or a live performance of them performing the song the way Page loved to showcase it? I honestly can see both sides of it and there are several songs I 100% agree with you that you should listen to the studio version over the live version. To me, anything from that 1979 concert in Knebworth can be skipped by because the sound is so bad. But generally speaking, I would rather watch a live performance with all the energy and improv they bring to the performance over staring at SalvoG nod his head to a song playing in the background. LOL. The last part was just messing with you guys. :) But I think your point is valid as well.
Absolutely love Black Dog! This entire album is killer. The next song, Rock and Roll, was their opening number for this same concert. They, of course, performed it spectacularly. I believe this is the same concert from which you reacted to Stairway to Heaven so it will be really interesting to hear what you think of it now after you listen to the studio version. Great reaction! :) Edit: Are you going to cover Coda after album 8 to hear the other songs that didn't make albums 1-3?
*Bro* my FAVORITE concert footage of theirs from their two days at MSG in 73.! Love a few from Earl's Court in 75 but "overall" *THIS* is their prime IMHO......! G.O.A.T. band on full display... Bombastic, intense, incredibly talented with 4 people who could have individually been the star in their own band.! Fortunately, for the musical world magic happened, they came together and thank the gods for that
Thing about Jimmy is he isn't the greatest player in the world but I'd rather listen to him than any other guitarist. He is the awesome riff master. His playing just moves like nobody. Too bad he lost some of that magic to heroin but he can still kick it in gear.
One of my all time favorite Zep tunes. I never tire of hearing this song. Great reaction. As far as Dazed and Confused goes. By far and I mean leap years, the version from Madison Square Garden is the superior version. It is literally a often referenced all time great performance. That being said, the length of it and you tube's peculiarities often lead reactors to doing the 1969 version. It's a good version and very enjoyable. But it's sort of like comparing Babe Ruth to Don Mattingly. The 69 version is much shorter, Much rougher around the edges and the sound quality is good but not as good as the MSG version. Also, they are very young and just discovering themselves in the 69 version. They have not become rock Gods yet in this version and it shows. As good a player as Mattingly was, who would you rather have on your team? That being said, if you choose the "Don Mattingly" version, it's understandable. I would just suggest at some later date, no matter how you must do it, get the "Babe Ruth" version up somewhere for us to see it.
Looking back on your first reaction (Stairway), you were iffy about Led Zeppelin and didn't care for the song. I wonder if you will look at it differently in the context of the body of work you have already experienced. Keep in mind the intensity of this song and know that a LZ concert during this period typically lasted about 3 1/2 hrs. and they maintained this level of intensity, precision, and artistry through the whole show. They also took pains to create as even and pure a sound as possible. Jimmy Page was a perfectionist. So, as you make your way into the fourth album also know that the best is yet to come. The 4th, 5th, and 6th albums contain some of their greatest tracks. Peace.
I think he may view "Stairway" differently if he listens to the studio track on IV, if for no other reason then acoustic intro on the studio track. You just can't appreciate LZ live without the foundation of the studio tracks first!
@@betseyr.9081 I completely agree and I think you need to listen to the studio first and then the live version because sometimes the studio version is better because some of the live versions can be very sloppy, that said I was at the 1973 MSG show and prefer some of the live versions more than the studio versions
As a treat to yourself, check "Black Dog" by a band named Babe Ruth off the album First base. It's not a cover of this, a completely different song. Since nobody has ever heard of it, it may not be a good song for a reaction video. Like I said, treat yourself.
Every reactioner fails to react to the monster version of Black Dog. It’s the cut from The IV album. This is the original intention with all it’s power and crisp changes. The Zep. we’re magicians in studio, where their expertise shined. Try that version against what is arguably a looser version here. It’s night and day. Oh, and crank it up. Regards
The reason why you don't see John Paul Jones is because he stayed right in Jimmy's eyesight so has to know when to leave his solo and rejoin the main body of the song.
Their third album received a lot of criticism because of how soft/acoustic it was. For their fourth album, untitled, unhyped, they shut down all critics. Track 1 and 2 are rock perfection, track 3 is soft/folk perfection...then they closed off Side 1 with Stairway. Final track on side 2 is probably the best album closer of all time (and in my opinion, better than Stairway).
Come on folks, don't just watch here without subscribing, this man is carrying the Zeppelin torch, so let's support him!
such sorcery!
they are untouchable live
Live they are unequalled!
And also unequalled in the studio
This was when freedom and creativity was just normal for us fans. Have to re-listen to appreciate it again.
Wait until you see more Jimmy! He is magnificent! JPJ came up with that off-time type signature for this one!
*Julie* it seems you and I always pop up on Zeppelin reactions.! Have a fantastic day
And Bonham help,roll it back around.
jimmy TEARS IT UP here!!
Welcome to the gods of live music

I love how Jimmy does that little skip here and there. ✌️
My fave all time band ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🙏🦋⭐⭐⭐🇦🇺🌸👣🦉🏡🌴🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I dont remember much of the 70s...but Ill never forget my first concert...Led Zeppelin!
They own the stage when walked on it
the time signature sounds wierd because jimm is play a different time signature to the bassline! its SOOOOO easy for that to fall apart because theyre coming back together at different parts. BRILLIANT musicians
They didn't do that live because it would be too easy to fall apart. And it wasn't just Jimmy in different time. Only Bonzo stayed in 4/4.
@@johns7097 yes they did do exactly that live bass and drums in 1 rythm. Guitar in another same as in the studio
@@Scoobydcs no because it was never just the guitar that changes, it's guitar and bass. They go into 5/4 while the drums play through at 4/4, then they meet in 20 beats. And no they didn't do it live. There are a lot of nuances in the studio version that they didn't do live.
Fun fact, the riff was written by the base player - John Paul Jones.
Rock and Roll is even better live, good stuff as always!
This song has always reminded me of my childhood. My dad, whom I'm not close with, was a big classic rock person. I guess the one thing I can thank him for is exposing me to rock. Led Zep... the best.

Looking forward to more from MSG......especially Dazed and Confused. Also anyone who's a Led Zeppelin fan should subscribe

You gotta do the how many more times live 1970 Royal Albert hall that one is insane and prime Zeppelin
Just bought a soundboard audio recording of that entire show....fire.
Black Dog was my Mom's favorite Led Zeppelin song. That's the only accolade I need.

jonesy came up with this riff
You're the best Salvo, love that you do studio and sprinkle in live. They seem to sound better live, that's incredible!
Thanks so much !

Live is better...I don’t care what the studio nerds say. 🤷🏻♂️ The GOATS!
Yeah, I just don't get listening to the studio version over live unless it's Kashmir. There is just not any really good versions of that song live.

18th was best rock song
300th was best of all time in any genre
Hence the difference.

Keep trying to post the 73 MSG version….I mean, it’s just so damn iconic and out of their world.
GODS!
And you should see them now in their 60's performing this song "Black Dog." I will give you the link.
I know you heard the Stairways studio version but i hope youre gonna make a react video that too.
He already reacted to the live version of Stairway, not the studio version.
Awesome! If you do a bonus Friday try That’s the Way or Bron Aur Stomp live at Earls Court!
Dude you got to do Dazed and Confused Live from 1973 this same concert. It will blow your mind trust me. Just subscribed for ya pal!

I thought the same thing and was going to stop watching his videos....but the magic by the GOATs hit him like a sledgehammer and woke him up! lol

If you are gonna react to rock and roll live next. Do the live performance for 1972 not 73 to hear Robert plants peak. By 73 he had already lost range
Of interest, the riff was created by the bassist, John Paul Jones.
msg is the best live version of dazed but royal albert hall 1970 isnt far behind it!
Beth Hart made a fantastic cover of this one. Worth to check out.
Recommend you listens to studio, then follow-up with live if you can for songs. Rock n' Roll is another great live as well from MSG.
Van Halen are great and many videos them live.💖
It's only your favorite guitar songs because you haven't heard the rest...way better songs than this one by the GOATs ....fact!🎸♑🐉
its as toss up between zep 4 and physical graffiti imo as to which is the best album
Shout out to John Paul Jones on bass.
As a treat to yourself, check "Black Dog" by a band named Babe Ruth off the album First base. It's not a cover of this, a completely different song. Since nobody has ever heard of it, it may not be a good song for a reaction video. Like I said, treat yourself.

You didn't play the opening of the song. Do it again. 😎

Final track on side 2 is probably the best album closer of all time (and in my opinion, better than Stairway).
They definitely came out swinging
Critics didn't seem to like Zeppelin
Weird right
Kashmir 2007 celebration day and then do Kashmir 1979 thank you’ll be really impressed with son father and son drummers
Please note Rolling Stone had a pathological hatred for Led Zeppelin fact
Wow that’s crazy
Rolling stone magazine never liked Zep for some reason, i wouldnt take their opinion or even pay them any attention at all.
Really ?! Wow
Rollingstone hates led Zeppelin.
That’s ridiculous
