You guys absolutely need to listen to When The Levee Breaks!
If I could hit the thumbs up on this 100 times I would.
Yeah that should really be the next song they do by Zep.
Great harmonica solos by Robert Plant
YES!
100% agree. Deepest groove all time.
One of Jimmy Page's best solos on the outro there.
Like all Led Zeppelin songs, it grows on you, You’re not sure how much you like it, but then u end up missing it. GREATEST ROCK BAND ALL TIME!
Queen
Hey guys, thanks for doing my pick!!!… so you didn’t quite get Black Dog the first time around but I promise you play it a couple more times, and it likely will end up on your playlist!… Zeppelin has such a wide variety of styles and yeah you probably should do Since I’ve been loving you from Madison Square Garden 1973 next. I was at that show July 29, 1973 so two days from now is the 50th anniversary!… the other pick I would actually have for you next is the studio version of Going to California so you can hear their beautiful all acoustic side as well. Rock on!
It was the day I was born!! Didn't know that! 🤩🤩

Thank you Ed - it was our pleasure! Very much appreciate you supporting us! We've got Stairway to heaven from MSG coming next but we'll add Going to California to the list because we haven't even heard that mentioned yet!
@@barsandbarbells2022 great choices! Studio version of Going to California please!
In folklore some black dogs are considered to be evil in nature (which I think is bs).
Like the black lab that lived next door to David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam) and he said the dog supposedly talked to him and told him to kill people.
If you look inside of Led Zeppelin's 4th album with the song "Black Dog" on it and you open up the album and reflect the picture of the one half of the mountain of rocks up to a mirror and make it reflect to make a picture of a whole mountain you'll see what looks like a demon dogs face on the rocks.
You can actually see this on the internet for yourself. Zeppelin is notorious for using subliminal messaging and subliminal pictures on their albums like in the song stairway to heaven he sings:
"She's buying a stairway to heaven"
That is a subliminal message that you can buy your way to heaven but you cannot you have to repent.
They never released singles only albums so you are right about songs being part of a whole album vibe 😊
I own many Led Zep singles. Only in the UK, not the USA. Worth a small fortune now. Peace.
You don't dance to zep, you listen and appreciate it
Omg, I had the same comment. And the time signature is off between the guitar and percussion intentionally! The idea is to grab you to engage your mind and think about what you’re hearing! One of the very best Zep songs.
You can def dance to Zeppelin. Not this song but many, many songs...with the right partner....oh my. You def can dance!
The crowds definitely danced to this. Perhaps not as individuals, but as one collective organism, lol.
I dance to zeppelin 😊
No. We listened and appreciated WHILE we danced. Some of those songs are impossible to just sit through, you have to DANCE.
It's a party song for high energy . Nothing like being hammered , blasting down the highway with this tune melting the speakers .
Kashmir is one of LZ best and a real classic. When The Levee Breaks is a great cover.
I wouldn’t exactly call it a cover , it’s 1000% better and nothing like the original.
It’s way more than a cover -
I adore Led Zeppelin! They are sooo good! Thanks.
When are you going to react to the unplugged version of black by Pearl Jam? I know you reacted to the studio version, but sorry it doesn't come close to the live. One of the best performances ever!!
It's coming! Patience! lol
You should listen to the studio version of Dazed and Confused. First played by Jimmy Page when he was in the Yardbirds but it became a favourite with Led Zeppelin
I just looked at your Zep reactions - great job keeping up with the playlists, btw - and I noticed you haven't seen them live yet. 👀
May I suggest "Since I've been Loving You" live at Madison Square Garden 1973?
Buckle up and settle in for some kickass blues with a punch.
BTW, I personally don't consider Zep a rock band. To me they're more like a blues band that rocks. Especially their first 2 albums. Anyway. Zep live. You won't forget or regret. ✌🏼❤
This is a must. This shows the Zeppelin vibe as it was.
Zeppelin are an 'everything' band. 😉 ✌️
It was named after a black dog that was hanging around the entrance to the studio. You can't really get the groove, because I believe the guitar riff is in 5/4 time, but the drums are in 4/4, that means the beats sync every twenty notes
There is also a time change in the middle of the riff. It is easy to play wrong. A little difficult the correct way. With a drummer that gets it right the song works. An average drummer, forget it. And then of course good luck finding a singer.
I didn't know that but I also think the sighting of a black dog in England ie a foreboding of .bad luck
@@bc2198 Incorrect. That’s a black cat. The title of this song has nothing to do with the lyric, they chose it as a joke because a black dog was hanging around the studio. And he’s right about the timing, they deliberately chose a rhythm you can’t dance to.
Not 5/4
Apparently Bonzo cracked the shts at this song during recording because it was so hard for him to play due to the discordant beat.
When I was 8 or 9 in the late 70's this was the first hard rock song I heard. It was at a arcade I would go to and they played this alot on the juke box. I remember this with early arcade video games like asteroids, missile command, thief and football.
Black Dog is just one of the many types of songs LZ does. It's fun to watch them perform it in concert, but it's not a sit down and listen song especially when your not that familiar with their music. They are known for their unique song construction, unexpected tempo changes, amazing guitar riffs, powerful drum rolls, and Robert Plant's vocals. Led Zeppelin are also great live performers, and since you have only reacted to their recordings, it would be nice to watch your reactions to an actual live song. As they never play their songs the same way when they play live, it is important to find the right performance. I think you would really enjoy their song Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979 official video. This has all the elements I mentioned and everything you said was missing. It is an epic performance where you can see and hear how good this band is. A second choice in my opinion would be Since I've Been Loving You live at MSG 1973 official video or Stairway to Heaven from the same concert. Lastly I would like to mention that Jimmy Page the guitarist was a highly sought after studio musician prior to starting Led Zeppelin, and he played guitar and harmonica on some of Tom Jones early songs.
And so begins Led Zeppelin IV, one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.
"In My time of Dying" totally bluesy
You can basically just start from their first album and go from there. So many great songs. A few of my favorites
- kashmir
- dazed & confused.
- over the hills and far away
- trampled underfoot
- communication breakdown
As their channel is very diverse in content, there would always be a long period of time between LZ video posts. Wouldn't it be better for their channel if they only reacted to the most suggested songs by viewers?
What do you think?
Next Zep song you listen to, should be Kashmir - Live from Celebration Day
Listen to 20 more Zeppelin songs then come back to this...From personal experience, I guarantee it will grow on you. They played outside the box more than any rock band in the 70's.
Definitely go to When The Levee Breaks next....it hits hard!! Also, Going To California is pure ear candy.
Page’s solo on this song is just ballsy
At the beginning of my first high school music class, the teacher put on this song. The speakers were massive and the beginning with the weird strumming cut through the air. Everybody likes the teacher from that moment on and listened to whatever he wanted us to hear.
Robert Plant is now collaborating with the Queen of Bluegrass, Alison Krauss.
Highly Recommend their version of: Black Dog.
you can never appreciate it when you don't grow up as a teen listenming to it,,,, just will never be able to get that teenage vibe feeling
I respectfully disagree. I actually appreciate the music much more now that I'm (throat clear) older. You can't have the teenage nostalgia if you weren't there, but anyone can learn to appreciate any type of music at any age. I know these two are prob what, 40 or so. 😳 They'll catch on quick with the right songs to get em hooked. This is a complicated song to get used to.
*Phil and Sam* as I've commented before, LOVE your channel.! *IMPORTANT ASK HERE* you have to listen to them *LIVE* !!!!! ANYTHING from the 1973 live at MSG (Madison Square Garden) will rock your world.! Start with "Since I've been loving you" from that concert.! TRUST ME here..... SO FUN watching you guys hear what I've loved for so long for the first time.......
I disagree with this. Always listen to Zeppelin studio first. You get Page's quality engineering skills and masterful arrangement without the improvisation and experimentation to confuse first time listeners. Once you've heard the studio version then you can go to the live which is essentially messing around with the original idea. Their live stuff is legendary but only makes sense AFTRE listening to the studio version of their songs to digest the initial theme of the song.
Thanks David! We're having as much fun as you 🙌 ! We'll have a live one coming from MSG for sure!
@@barsandbarbells2022 *Thanks Guys* As a former touring musician and someone who saw Zep a few times, yeah........ I'm old, lol...... it's indescribable as EVERY night was different, I know, I was there, but if you go with that song I recommended, I give you my word, via Pay Pal, which I don't use but will for you, turn you on to something from Led Zeppelin that will leave you breathless.! *Very cool on the live version* I await the gold nugget...... Take Care and Phil, treating Sam like a queen is not only the right thing to do but says *ALOT* about you Youngblood....... Peace........
@@cosmicwonders21 I " *understand* " the sentiment, truly I do, and it's a fair point *BUT* Jimmy produced and remastered everything and Zeppelin was 4 uniquely talented individuals whose parts exceeded the whole.! I get it, but Jimmy and JPJ were seasoned, session musicians whereas Robert & John were of course not.! To get the TRUE VIBE it has to be experienced *LIVE* point blank simple...... I won't blather on as I'm sure your a seasoned Zep fan but we can exchange stories if you ever want.... I spent a couple of hours with Perci, aka Robert in L.A. and what I said above is spawned from that bro..... anyway...... it's *Led Zeppelin* ..... we ALL win....
@@cosmicwonders21 I agree ! First time I saw Song remains the same I was left wanting and not used to non studio versions,. in time I came to appreciate it for the greatness in it (but its far from perfect) and how it captures the time and how big they were then. But I think more people are familiar with studio versions and I think thats the best way to begin appreciating LZ (or almost any band).
John Bonham showing off behind the drum kit is a musical masterpiece
There's a meme that has Justin Bieber on one side saying "I sing baby, baby, baby and the girls go crazy" the other side is Robert Plant saying "Bitch, I did that 40 years ago"
Try listening to "In My Time Of Dying"
Zeppelin made music to make you think and cause discomfort....through lyrics and composition. I love your reaction, truly your first listen I can tell. It will grow on you though...as does all of their music 🎶🤌🏼
As a drummer the first time I heard this on each stop before Robert starts to sing again you can hear John Bonham click his sticks together every single time. A very interesting and powerful way to state the STOP ✋ 🛑
“Since I’ve Been Loving You” from their 3rd album is the way to go, studio version first. It’s time to slow it down a little bit and experience this amazing beautiful music.
The Rain Song as well
You shook me. Bluesy and powerful
Aren't they magnificent? This live in 1973 was fabulous!
Julie I see you in every Zeppelin reaction I come across! I get it, I love them too!
Next Led Zeppelin song you must do is "Kashmir" live from Celebration Day Concert. There first concert together after almost 30 years and also their last concert. Iconic performance. Millions tried to get tickets for the concert.
Black Dog isn’t a song you dance to. It’s more of a “WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION” kinda song. John Paul Jones is/was known for using very complex time signatures and for changing time and tempo in the middle of the song. Stairway To Heaven increases tempo 2 or 3 times during the song. It’s something that’s just not done and that most musicians can’t cope with, but Led Zeppelin isn’t most musicians. Given your education, you might be interested to know that Jimmy Page did a lot of the production and engineering. He double and triple tracked a lot of his guitar parts, which is why it often sounds like multiple guitars are involved. But it’s just Jimmy. Check out What Is And What Should Never Be and Over The Hills And Far Away. You’ll be amazed 😊❤
Black Dog is filled with oddball time signatures and was notoriously difficult to play, and so of course it's hard to move to in a traditional way.
But they actually sell it really well, especially because they keep coming back to that straight-8 which suddenly feels so comforting and John Bonham is really making the bell on that ride cymbal ring to signal how solid and relatable that straight section is and that's your chance to traditionally rock out for a little bit.
But if you relax and take in the overall feel of it, this song is actually a great rock dance song all the way through. People my age have all danced to it, but I have seen some really sexy dancing to this thing, oh my.
And I noticed that Ms B&B really lit up in those straight 8 sections. I agree with her also that I really love his voice in this, and the provocative lyrics of course. And also, great point about how different it is on a first listen.
I can see your point about the start/stop of this track, but honestly after hearing it a few times, it sounds more "natural" IMHO.
The radio was the biggest influence on everyone knowing music that wasn’t necessarily our type because we were all listening to the same stations. Zeppelin, Beach Boys and others were before my time in the early 80’s, but they were played frequently, so we knew them. The internet killed the shared musical experience with everyone silo’d into their own niche.
Zeppelin rules . . .
Brings back memories of driving flat out at night with this blasting out of the radio and everyone in the car screaming along with the band
The members of Led Zeppelin were all state of the art players and could do a lot of things that other bands couldn't. In Black Dog they are purposely combining different time signatures between drums and guitar; it creates tension, then explodes when they meet in the chorus. Structually (and lyrically) this is classic blues, which was foundation of many of Zep's best tracks (before they took it to the next level). As others noted, it's not a simple composition; you need to listen to it a few times, but eventually you'll realize it as one of the classic rock songs of all time. Jimmy Page's solo at the end is fire.
For a great bass line, check out Ramble On next for Led Zeppelin.
They liked playing around with different time stamps so they only met up on certain beats. I don't know anything about musical structure, but I've heard it adds a challenge.
Black dog is a total banger!
Jimmy Page said in an interview that he liked Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" & how the vocals stood on their own before the instruments kick in & that was the inspiration behind the style of this song.
Zeppelin sometimes had 2 different time signatures in the same song. Sometimes the whole band was in 1 signature and switched up during the song, sometimes the rhythm section was in one time signature while the guitar and vocals were in another.
the fourth album is like a book you can start from the beginning and all song are good and they seem to flow ending with when the Levey breaks perfect ending one of the goats albums i always wonder about them if it was just coincidental.
Bonham and Page are playing different time signatures. It's out of beat deliberately.
Oh yeah, the 70’s had a LOT of rock groups. BUT so did the 60’s! The golden era of rock 1964-1980. BTW, Led Zeppelin formed in 1968.
And actually did their first tour as the Yardbirds.
@@LBinsocal The New Yardbirds, that is. Not to be confused with the original Yardbirds, for which Page was a member, but not for long.
Great reaction and song, thanks 😊 please try. When the levee breaks. I think it's my favorite zep song it won't disappoint 😅❤
You guys have to do Black Sabbath - War Pigs ! Song will change ur life (dont do the music video because it has nothing to do with the song and is too distracting from the instrumentation)
Great song from arguably their best album, you should try the classic deep cut called Four Sticks, one of their many amazing g tracks, they were the pinnacle of rock. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Nice reaction guys. That time signature can take a few listens to get the hang of, so you're not alone there. From the same album you will really enjoy "When The Levee Breaks" and for a bit of a slower, bluesier feel, check out "Since I've Been Loving You". Both studio versions I would start with before heading towards the live versions. "How Many More Times" from their debut album is another to check out. For something a bit later on in their catalogue, try "In My Time Of Dying" and "Kashmir" from 1975.
Guys... they're all different :-)
I’m requesting that you please react to the 1973 live performance of ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’, recorded at Madison Square Garden.
Well my parents didn't really influence my musical taste in any way.
I was one of those kids who caught on to the Beatles, the Who and the Stones in the sixties. Graduated to the heavier stuff in the seventies.
My kids, I'm probably your parents age, listened to what I did, especially if we were in the car and developed their own tastes.
Everyone was going crazy when LZ performed this to a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden, 1973. I should know because I was there - I sort of remember the tickets being $10 - it was 3+ hour concert...just imagine that! Do yourselves a HUGE favor and listen to them LIVE - the MSG, 1973 concert is a great way to start...the way they adapt their songs to the stage is AMAZING!! Have fun!
Yes, listen to when the levee breaks . The whole album is so unique
The Mighty Zep!
Anything from Madison Square Gardens 1973...Since I've been Loving you is always been one of their top tier performances, but everything they do is good to great!
Looking forward to more from LZ. What gets me about the band is all their songs sound unique. That’s really difficult to pull off but they deliver.
You’ll have to pick another winner. I don’t do much more than enjoy the videos and leave an occasional comment. Love your work! I get a kick out of watching folks listen to the older tunes for the first time.
The live version of "Since I've Been Lovin You" is one of the best live performances ever recorded. Check it out! (Madison Square Garden 1973).
So many to choose from. Ramble on is another side of Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin at their frantic, overheated, lustful best! Thanks for your reaction.
Tha' GREATEST VERSION OF STAIRWAY! MSG 1973 """""LIVE"""" !!!! So good to watch their incredible talent with yr own eyes, Especially Jimmy's unbelievable magic fingers! Luv watching u guys ❤ toooing @ throwing debate. ❤frm tha 🇬🇧👋Xxx.
My favorite Led Zeppelin song is the last one I listened to.😊😊😊
There’s nothing like Zeppelin, but as covers go, Beth Hart does a pretty cool version of this and several other Led tunes. ♥️✌🏼😎🇺🇸
They are switching the Time. Just for Fun. That's John Paul Jones' Fun!
Jimmy Page was the sorcerer.
Plant was the apprentice.
Bonzo was the backbone.
Jonsey fleshed it out.
Young kids do not know how this
blistered the musical industry.
Dig... and dig deeper.
Peace on earth.
Iconic Rock song!!!!
Most drummers play off the bass guitarist. John Bonham plays off Jimmy Page. Jimmy is playing 12/4 time while Bonzo is pounding 4/4 time. Find another band that can do that.
May I suggest 'The Lemon Song' not what you will expect! or Kashmir, Dazed and Confused are also just great and different.
Glad I found your channel, you seems to have an honest interest in music, and also knowledge about it. It's not fair to say that you've "lived under a rock" beacuse you haven't heard of this or that!
I grow up listen to 60-70's pop rock and love it even today. I listen to different type of music today beacuse I'm interested(of course not everything)
For an example, I've never listen to rapmusic or hiphop and know nothing about it. Why? I have not had the interest in that music!
Can't put a finger on a certain song and I maybe heard of a handful artists. Of course the reason must be that I've lived under a rock😊
Nooo, it's about interest! Maybe some day I start listening to hiphop for better understanding?
Keep up your good work, you seems to be nice guys with a real interest for music.
Thanks / BR from Sweden
Do a Zep song off Physical Graffiti. Their best album. These early songs are overplayed.
I'm not sure who recommended this song, but probably not the best choice at this point in your journey. Instead, I would highly recommend the studio version of "Since I've Been loving You" off of the album Led Zeppelin III.
Peace
It's style is inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well, and both are heavily rooted in the blues.
You're good. Most can't figure out there's TWO time signatures in the body of this song. With my cousin Jimmy expect the unexpected
The reason you can’t catch the groove is because the drummer is playing in 4/4, but the guitar and bass are playing in 3/4, so that gives it a weird “hitch” at some points of the song. It was largely improvised in the studio, off the main guitar riff
Great reaction and comments! Gallows Pole is a good Zeppelin song.
I can help you understand this song better. It’s one of the best stoner songs ever written.
I won’t go into the specifics but others here will vouch for me that it’s one of the best songs ever to listen to high on weed.
Try reading the lyrics a couple of times, light one up, so to speak, and listen to the song again.
It’s just a weird, really weird thing about this song.
Very good, you caught the fact that the drums and guitar are playing in two different time signatures. Which is insanely difficult to make sound right. They do it on other songs as well
With its sequence of time signatures and pauses for vocal soloing, it’s definitely not meant to be danced to…without a continuous groove, the only thing it is for is enjoyment! ☺️
this defined "head banging" rock and roll when I was about 16 or so; we LOVED it in the early 1970s!! remember, most all early British rockers were HEAVILY influenced by Black American Blues singers which is where the line "I don't know but I been told, big leg woman ain't got no soul" came from. Yes, it was a concert song; it was not for "ballad" listening. Robert Plant is one of the top 5 "screamers" of all time!!
Not only that they used I’d probably still do played on the radio all the time but now everybody with you to Pandora Spotify that don’t listen to the radio so you just don’t hear it on the radio and get to know song he would normally not hear back in the day You were here that was crazy. They have other options unless you had an eight track player because that player or CD player we didn’t have digital back there so you guys got too many options today as well there’s so much crap out my opinion though 💯
You should play the studio version of Dazed and Confused I think you will like that one
John Paul Jones came up with the complex main riff with the goal of making it so that no one could dance to it.
Not bad for a 52 year old album is it love when you guys Get The Led Out
That's zep very diverse. There catalog is huge. Not everyone will like every song like I do. But that's ok. Imo you should keep listening they will surprise you. Zep forever 😊
Kudos for spotting the difference between the guitar and drum time signiatures. When this came out it took me a while to figure it out. Rick Beato explains it best.
Two of the influences for this song are Muddy Waters' 1968 album Electric Mud and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac song OH Well. I suggest listening to OH Well it has the same call and response with the vocals and the music.
The Who? You gotta listen to "If The Levee Breaks" !!
YOU WILL LOVE ROCK SOON ENOUGH. ROCK;n'ROLL IS A GREAT ZEPPELIN TUNE.{M.G}orig.TORONTO.
CANADA.
You guys need to listen to Peter Frampton, Do you feel like we do.
Another amazing reaction guys! Looking forward seeing your reaction to the Michael Jackson trailer!
You Godamn right🫵
One if Zeps toughest songs to play they made it that way so other bands couldn’t cover.
For something very different from them you should take a peek at Rain Song. You will be more than pleasantly surprised. It shows a different side to them and is absolutely beautiful. One of my favorites.
Hi B&B ., I saw the Black Dog, did U see the Black Dog.. ♠W.G.
Fool in the Rain, Rock n Roll and D'yer Mak'er are three of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Don't think you will be disappointed with any of those three. Studio versions.
Misty Mountain Top oh yeah
The timing always felt off to me (and yes, I realize it's probably just me lol). Not my favorite Zep song.
It's deliberate. The timing is off. Bonham and Page are playing different time signatures. Peace.
