You may think you’re getting Zeppelin’s vibe but as you explore further you’ll find the vibe of every album is different and often changes within the album and it just gets better every time. Best rock band of all time.
@@tessasnow Canada! Glad to have you guys livin' upstairs. Had a real good friend from Canada that I lost in Afghanistan. He always ripped on me sayin' that you guys just consider us to be Upper-Mexicans. Lol. I miss the crazy bastard terribly.
Difficult to say that you're getting Zeppelin's vibe after hearing only three songs. They incorporated so many genres into their music, incredibly versatile and creative. You've barely scratched the surface. ;)
So many to recommend, but my personal favorite after Stairway to Heaven is "When the Levee Breaks." Bonham at his best on the drums and Plant playing the harmonica. It has a heavy blues influence as the song is a cover of a 1920s blues song written about a devastating Mississippi River flood. Another "journey" song as it takes the listener through the build up and then through the flooding all via outstanding music.
"KASHMIR" is the song Robert Plant would like to be remembered for & one of my top 5 songs of ALL time. Its a MUST. The riff OMG Jimmy kills it! Go for studio then the live next.
greatest band ever and seeing them live which i did 21 times is the best concerts i was ever at!!!!!!!!!! try dazed and confused live. best live SONG ever. also rock and roll and heartbreaker are tremendous!!!!
So check it out. 51 years ago from today, June 14, 1972 I saw Zeppelin for the first time at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. And guess what they opened with? Immigrant song!… I was 14 and that was the only song I had heard by them so I had 3 1/2 hours of reacting to Zep for the first time myself lol…. I left there life changed… Been their biggest fan ever since!
I've always listened to this song while watching the live video. Listening to it this way REALLY shows how AMAZING John Paul Jones is on the bass guitar. Thanks. 😊
As Jack Black has said, “they wrote songs about Vikings, they wrote songs about making love and they wrote songs about Vikings making love.” 😂. A few of their songs are also inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings books.
So great to see you guys enjoy a great song so much. Zep is special to me. Every one of their songs has something interesting to hear, and most of them are either great or legendary! Ty ☺️
It was perfect when they used this in the Thor movie where they are fighting on the Rainbow Bridge. It was a great backdrop to the action on the screen. Also, you have to imagine when this first hit the airwaves in our days. It was a totally new opening to a song we had never heard and sold a ton of records.
Great reaction. Zeppelin have a large catalog to explore. Check out = Kashmir, Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Rock and Roll, When the Levee Breaks, D'yer Maker, Dazed and Confused, All My Love, Heartbreaker, and Communication Breakdown to name a few.
Great song, written as a semi-joke, after an Iceland gig. For being a joke, I find it really impressive. To me, they capture the ethic of the Viking horde pretty well. Valhalla I am coming!!!!!!!!
I always tell first timers to start with album one, song one, and work your way forward listening to every song! That's the best way to listen to the Greatest Rock Band of all time!
I highly recommend the live version in 1979 of "Kashmir" from a concert in Knebworth England. Everyone has a favorite version whether it's the original studio recording or other live performances like the one from CelebrationDay, but this 1979 performance is perfection in my book. A fun and different LZ tune is "Misty Mountain Hop".
There are plenty of iconic classics with Zeppelin. My personal favorites of theirs are When the Levee Breaks, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and Nobody's Fault but Mine
I would love to see you guys react to the Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You" off of the album Led Zeppelin III. And I always appreciate the fact that you listen to the studio tracks first before checking out any live tracks. You guys are awesome! Peace
You'll have to do Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973) [Official Video]. Classic! Also, I think in one of your previous reactions, you had mentioned spending time in/being from the Toronto area? There are some great Canadian rock bands that you're probably not familiar with as well....that'll be another comment!
Live from Celebration Day - 2007 Kashmir Black Dog Rock and Roll Will blow y’all away! Drummer, John Bohnam passed in 1980. His son Jason took over. This is proof that no matter how old Zeppelin get’s…They are still the greatest!
It was a sad day when we lost John Bonham in 1980. I grew up in the 70's listening to Led Zeppelin, and the closest I got to seeing them live was the 1976 concert film The Song Remains The Same. Robert Plant's solo projects are certainly worth a listen, especially his more recent work with Alison Krauss. RIP Bonzo.
My husband and some coworkers were making plans to see them when Bonzo died. Another coworkers' brother was part owner of Jam Productions ( a competitor of Ticketron) and he would get great seats at bargain costs so about six or seven of them were eager to get ready to purchase them when a second shift worker coming in told him Bonzo had died. My husband started laughing and said, "c'mon, don't even joke about stuff like that!" Unfortunately it was all real and sad. That was in Chicago and they had already had the list of what cities they would be performing in.😪
We were heartbroken as well, we were good friends at the record store where the ticket agency was and he had us first in line when they went on sale. Then he died and we all died a little with him. Also actually had tickets for them for the Boston Garden in 1973 but the gig was cancelled after the mob broke into the Garden and forced them to sell tickets before actual operating hours, my friend got 6 tickets then Mayor Kevin White cancelled the show because of all the damage a few knuckleheads caused. I died a little that time, too. I did get to see Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, both solo and together, a bunch of times so saw plenty of Zeppelin tunes, but would have loved to seen the original band.

When Jimmy Page was forming Led Zeppelin he asked singer/recording artist Terry Reid to join. He turned his friend down because he had a solo career and was touring as the opening act for his friends The Rolling Stones. But, Terry recommended Robert Plant Who was singing in small clubs. The music scene joked that jimmy’s new band would take off like a lead balloon. Hence, the name Led Zeppelin was adopted.
It was actually John Enwhistle of The Who that said it, according to Enwhistle himself. However, the quote has long been attributed to Keith Moon of The Who. Enwhistle and Moon had been recording with Jimmy Page at the time. 👍🤘
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (Live from Celebration Day) released in 2012. They did such an awesome performance you'd think just by listening it was from the 70's. A great reaction to compare then and now.
Great reaction guys! You mentioned Black Dog...definitely. another song I enjoy is Gallows Pole. I'm really enjoying the variety in your reaction selection.
Kashmir is a great journey with powerful imagery. When the levee breaks is a great song with haunting harmonica and vocal performance from Robert plant. Over the hills and far away has a great acoustic intro and some great rhythms. There are lots more but I feel like these songs will each give you a new zeppelin experience you haven't heard yet.
Kashmir, most love Whole Lotta Love, Stairway & My suggestion 👍. Immigrant Song >It's about Vikings , making love > Vikings making love 😂 Aka Jack Black 6:48
Great reaction! If you listen to the first song, off the first album, Good Times Bad Times, you can see they set the bar high right from the very start.
Phil jamming out! I love it! Truly y'all these really are THE Rock Gods & 4 of the best to ever pick up an instrument. Robert Plant - vocals Jimmy Page - guitar John Bonham - drums John Paul Jones - bass
Songs, Ramble On, Thank You (a must for any couple), Rock and Roll, and Hey, Hey, What Can I Do, show you another side to them as well. Also you should check out the Kennedy Center Honors where Heart, Lenny Kravitz and the Foo Fighters honor the 3 surviving members induction. Heart's cover of Stairway is epic, it got a long standing Ovation from the bandmates. Watch Jack Black's Short intro speech too.
Our party rule. Once we began a Zep album at a party, they were not to be turned off or stopped til the end. You will get them after you do that. Same with Pink Floyd. They are a flow........seen them and Robbie 6 times. Dayum...best nights of my life.
I love how Led Zeppelin would challenge their inner imagination by renting out places to live in creating new environments to bring out new influences for their music
There is only one live version of this song; video from 1972 Australia mixed with audio from LA Forum same year. Smoking solo by Jimmy Page at the end. Plus it’s fun to watch…..outdoors…sunshine….Robert’s hair. 😉
Creativity during that time period was so awesome... Peter Frampton Live and SUPERTRAMP the Logical Song will give you a little better feel of the versatility of the music of that time period...
People will suggest all their favorite songs to you….and everyone has their own. But because Zeppelin is so HUGE to classic rock and influenced so many rock bands after them…and because they are SO varied, the best way to truly understand them is to start with the first track on their first album and move chronologically through their discography…..at least as far as their first six albums. I know, I know…..so many bands to do…..dozens of great bands and artists. You’ve been dropped into an ocean of new music. But honestly, Zeppelin can be your raft, so to speak. It will give you a solid base in rock …..in many genres……and from their, you will understand and appreciate so much more the bands that were their contemporaries and those who followed them. Just my opinion……by I cannot imagine a better band to introduce to to the many sides of rock.
I turned a punk fan onto Zeppelin with one song: The Wanton Song. Not one of their best known but it's an interesting mix of funk and rock that's as great as any of their hits
As you both said - the song is about Nordic mythology - which - and this is my understanding of history - that this mythology was the inspiration for war and conquering of foreign lands by the Nordic peoples. Even Hitler used Nordic mythology as propaganda to justify his aggression. War was seen as virtuous - that something better would come from the destruction it brought. The song has a simple format - 3 stanzas - no chorus. The first two stanzas reflect the "Nordic warrior mindset" and the desire to bring war to foreign lands, hence the use of the term "Immigrant." But the third and final stanza breaks from the first two and repudiates the desire for war: Robert Plants sings: "So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins; For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing..." He's repudiating the history of warfare - that it has led to too much ruin - and now the time for building peace and trust is upon us. Peace is more virtuous than war. That's how i always interpreted this song. i enjoyed your reaction and thanks for posting this one.
I think it reflects what the Vikings did when they invaded England. At first they attacked and conquered but eventually they settled and became peaceful farmers and fishermen. Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, was the first to defeat them I believe and after that they came to an agreement with him and even agreed to convert to Christianity. Their capital was the city of York which they called Jorvik and lots of evidence of their settlements there have been uncovered and are exhibited in a museum there.
@@heliotropezzz333 Yep. Really not that deep lyrically but still a great song musically and lyrically. Simple can be great, this song is proof of that.
@@heliotropezzz333that’s EXACTLY what it’s about; English history and the Viking invasions. They initially came to plunder…rape and pillage. They’d plunder and then return home. But then they came as immigrants”…to build farms and become part of the many tribes and peoples who have come to Britain throughout history. The song speaks of “your fields so green”: That’s wheat the Vikings ultimately wanted.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 If I was going to quibble about the song, I would say I know it was inspired by their trip to Iceland but the Vikings that invaded Britain didn't come from Iceland, they came from elsewhere in Scandinavia e.g. Norway and Denmark. Still LZ can be excused, they are not historians.
You may think you’re getting Zeppelin’s vibe but as you explore further you’ll find the vibe of every album is different and often changes within the album and it just gets better every time. Best rock band of all time.
True
Very true!
This is quite true. The only other band that I can think of that can sound so different from album to album and song to song, is Queen.
@@LarsonPettygreat comparison, I’ve always said that!! Great minds…🇨🇦🖖🏻
@@tessasnow Canada! Glad to have you guys livin' upstairs. Had a real good friend from Canada that I lost in Afghanistan. He always ripped on me sayin' that you guys just consider us to be Upper-Mexicans. Lol. I miss the crazy bastard terribly.

Robert Plant is the Original GOAT of hard rock vocals.

I always considered When The Levee Breaks as one of their best songs. Then came Kashmir, to add onto it!
My favourite also. Love that Delta Blues vibe.
Levee is such a vibe. It’s always been my favorite song since I first heard it as a kid.
I love that one and Kasmir!
Dazed and confused is a song that I'm sure you might enjoy !
Dazed an Confused is fantastic live .
"KASHMIR" is the song Robert Plant would like to be remembered for & one of my top 5 songs of ALL time. Its a MUST. The riff OMG Jimmy kills it! Go for studio then the live next.
When the levee breaks is one of my favorites
greatest band ever and seeing them live which i did 21 times is the best concerts i was ever at!!!!!!!!!! try dazed and confused live. best live SONG ever. also rock and roll and heartbreaker are tremendous!!!!
Lucky sob

The GOATS....PERIOD! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OMG.....there is SOOOOO much Zeppelin to explore!
So check it out. 51 years ago from today, June 14, 1972 I saw Zeppelin for the first time at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. And guess what they opened with?

Zeppelin - ALL OF MY LOVE - beautiful - Has a meaning behind it.
Kashmir (Live at Knebworth 1979) is a must!
So great to see you guys enjoy a great song so much. Zep is special to me. Every one of their songs has something interesting to hear, and most of them are either great or legendary! Ty ☺️
Black Dog, When The Levee Breaks, Rock 'n Roll, lots and lots of awesome songs
Check out Led Zeppelin
Song is Kashmir - Celebration Day
It was perfect when they used this in the Thor movie where they are fighting on the Rainbow Bridge. It was a great backdrop to the action on the screen. Also, you have to imagine when this first hit the airwaves in our days. It was a totally new opening to a song we had never heard and sold a ton of records.
Yes, it was so perfect for Ragnarok!
Since I’ve been loving you off of Led Zeppelin 3 album. You guys won’t be sorry
No Quarter would be my recommendation. Insane mood to that song.
Great reaction. Zeppelin have a large catalog to explore. Check out = Kashmir, Black Dog, Over the Hills and Far Away, Rock and Roll, When the Levee Breaks, D'yer Maker,
Dazed and Confused, All My Love, Heartbreaker, and Communication Breakdown to name a few.
Since I’ve been loving you.. 1973 msg live .. great stuff 😊
You got to check out Led Zeppelin Kashmir !!
Led Zeppelin were/are the greatest talent of musicians incl the Beatles. TY sir and mam for your Zep reviews. Oorah🙏🏽💪🏽🇺🇸💪🏽
Not sure what Thor movie this was but they played this song for one of them.
Thor ragnarok!!⚡⚡
Can not go wrong with Zeppelin ! Thanks
Black Dog - and Thank You both are great .
Great song, written as a semi-joke, after an Iceland gig. For being a joke, I find it really impressive. To me, they capture the ethic of the Viking horde pretty well. Valhalla I am coming!!!!!!!!

The only live version that I know of is from 1972 in Australia. It’s a banger and has a great guitar solo at the end too.
You’re right, the live video footage is Australia but I think the audio is from the LA Forum which I think was in the same year
Yeah! I was here...
This is my favourite Zeppelin song
Recommend: Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973)(Official Video)

We did! Yes, we're learning a bit more about Rush!
Two commonly overlooked Bangers are Nobody's Fault but Mine and We're Gonna Groove.
Great reaction keep up the good work.
Great job guys! Enjoying your content.
Glad to hear it!
The Rain Song (live version from The Song Remains The Same)...a masterpiece.
"When the Levee Breaks" has the baddest drumbeat _EVER!!!_ ....and some bada$$ harmonica.
Live from Celebration Day - 2007
Kashmir
Black Dog
Rock and Roll
Will blow y’all away! Drummer, John Bohnam passed in 1980. His son Jason took over. This is proof that no matter how old Zeppelin get’s…They are still the greatest!

Valhalla, from Norse mythology, a hall where heroes go after been slain in battle...
You gotta experience "When the Levee Breaks'. ✌️😎
A favorite of mine. Thank you!
Led Zeppelin had a knack for writing and playing music that feels like it has been around forever, even when it was brand new.
Man you have a long way to with Led Zeppelin songs you’re not even close to hearing all their great music.Keep going,I like to hear your reactions
"Since I've Been Loving You", live or audio...both are great! It's straight up blues and soul !
Great reaction guys! You mentioned Black Dog...definitely. another song I enjoy is Gallows Pole. I'm really enjoying the variety in your reaction selection.

They wrote and premiered it in Iceland and the place went insane. Later on, same thing in Norway, Denmark and Sweden :)
“Dazed and Confused” !!
Great reaction thanks greetings from Costa Rica
You have to listen to When the levee breaks❤
Next - A MUST - When The Levee Breaks. You're welcome.
" Valhalla I am coming " love it
People can talk about this and that until the cows come home. Led Zeppelin. End of story.
Dazed and Confused always is a good one to listen to.
Great reaction! If you listen to the first song, off the first album, Good Times Bad Times, you can see they set the bar high right from the very start.
The best way to listen for a reaction ❤ HEADPHONES
Seen them live. Only Concert I went to Sober. Best
Since I've been loving you live from Madison Square garden 1973 . That performance will show you why they are rock Gods
When the levee breaks,Kashmir, so many really good ones!
Every Led Zeppelin song is a different side of them, they literally re-invented themselves on every track 🤯
Phil jamming out! I love it! Truly y'all these really are THE Rock Gods & 4 of the best to ever pick up an instrument.
Robert Plant - vocals
Jimmy Page - guitar
John Bonham - drums
John Paul Jones - bass
"It was quick but good" 😂😂😂 Heard that before. 😎
Who remembers thor ❤❤❤
Any song off any album , you CANNOT go wrong 🇨🇦✌️
You have only begun! Kashmir too. Immigrant song live 1972 is the one I've only really seen. They have done every genre
The ultimate journey is going through their catalogue beginning to end.
If you think you got Zepplin's vibe do "When the Levee Breaks" , "In My Time of Dying", or "Ten Years Gone"
Try "Battle of Evermore". Those guys were huge fans of Tolkien, and you can hear it in a lot of their stuff, but especially that one.
Led Zeppelin "Kashmir" Live from Celebration Day Concert. Their last performance together. Epic
One of my favorites!
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Songs, Ramble On, Thank You (a must for any couple), Rock and Roll, and Hey, Hey, What Can I Do, show you another side to them as well.
Also you should check out the Kennedy Center Honors where Heart, Lenny Kravitz and the Foo Fighters honor the 3 surviving members induction. Heart's cover of Stairway is epic, it got a long standing Ovation from the bandmates. Watch Jack Black's Short intro speech too.
Our party rule. Once we began a Zep album at a party, they were not to be turned off or stopped til the end. You will get them after you do that. Same with Pink Floyd. They are a flow........seen them and Robbie 6 times. Dayum...best nights of my life.
Led zeppelin immigrant song live 1972 Australia
I love how Led Zeppelin would challenge their inner imagination by renting out places to live in creating new environments to bring out new influences for their music
There is only one live version of this song; video from 1972 Australia mixed with audio from LA Forum same year. Smoking solo by Jimmy Page at the end. Plus it’s fun to watch…..outdoors…sunshine….Robert’s hair. 😉
One of my top 5 Zepplin songs. The baseline nails it!!!!
I’m not a huge Zeppelin fan but I really like, Fool In The Rain, Hey Hey What Can I Do, When The Levee Breaks, and Over The Hills And Far Away.
Led Zeppelin has at least two songs based on Viking lore: This one and No Quarter!
Creativity during that time period was so awesome... Peter Frampton Live and SUPERTRAMP the Logical Song will give you a little better feel of the versatility of the music of that time period...
Black Dog is beautiful
this song is my favorite of theres then next is When the Levee Breaks, they were one of my favorites growing up and I been rockin for 58 years now, ha
One of my Favs❤

Great job y'all. Stay with the live stuff so no copyright strikes. I believe anything from MotherShip is fine as well.
Zeppelin made good music! 70’s music rocked! Have you thought of doing Bad Company? Good band as well.
Do the Valhalla scream again! That was great! I suggest When The Levee Breaks, Ramble On, Trampled Under Foot, In The Evening. . .
As you both said - the song is about Nordic mythology - which - and this is my understanding of history - that this mythology was the inspiration for war and conquering of foreign lands by the Nordic peoples.
