I was driving home in the car with my dad in 1980 when the radio announced the death of John Bonham and the immediate disbandment of the ... band. They said (and I paraphrase) ''Led Zeppelin was always what four men did and with the loss of one member we cannot continue.'' Forever sealing the canon and making their music Legendary.
The reason for Sandy Denny's contribution to Battle For Evermore was in September 1970, Sandy had won the Top British Female Singer in the Melody Maker Pop Poll, Robert won the Top British Male Singer. It was also the first time The Beatles hadn't been picked as Best British Band, they were beaten by Led Zeppelin. So Robert and Sandy met each other at the awards ceremony at the Savoy (along with Jimmy and John) and someone (probably Jimmy) said "wouldn't it be good to get the Top British Male and Female Singers on the same song" and they managed to arrange it.
Led Zeppelin is right up your alley, Caroline. You would do yourself a favor if you listened to all of them in order like the Beatles. They are THAT rewarding to listen to.
You got it, Caroline. There's a reason music critics put Led Zeppelin on par with the Beatles (not a typo) as far as quality and quantity of work. They ve been getting pegged as "heavy metal"for decades. There ARE bands who fit just that label- Zeppelin is not one of them.Not sure how that happens.
Led Zeppelin gave Sandy Denny her own rune on the liner notes to the album for her part on "The Battle of Evermore". The lyrics allude to The Lord of the Rings -- "The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on" -- then Sandy Denny sings -- "Sing as you raise your bow \ Shoot straighter than before \ Oh dance in the dark of night \ Sing to the morning light" ... She was the only other singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin album. She can really sing. Her work with Fairport Convention is quite masterful. For a taste, check out "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", "Farewell, Farewell", "The Ballad Of Easy Rider", "Tam Lin", "Matty Groves", and "She Moves Through The Fair" among others.
In addition to acoustic guitar, that’s mandolin you’re hearing on “Going To California”, played by bassist/keyboardist/arranger John Paul Jones, who is really the secret weapon of this band.
It was many years later before I realized there was another vocalist on "The Battle of Evermore." It sounds so similar to something Robert could sing, it never occurred to me that it could be someone else.
I will always remember the first time listening to Led Zeppelin iv. I just sat there, as it finished, absolutely stunned. Fifty years later, it still amazes me, unlike any other piece of music.
Great reaction! "Going to California" is a bit of a tribute to Joni Mitchell, both in lyrics and the styles of the vocal lines and mandolins. Beautiful.
Caroline-IMO this is the BEST video you've ever done: commentary-wise, editing-wise, fun-wise, everything. I know you previously said that you wanted to move away from music reaction videos, but you're SO good at this! Hopefully there's more to come!
Thanks, that was fun to watch... Just FYI, while John Paul Jones used a mellotron when performing 'Stairway' live, the studio recording has him playing layered recorders (bass, tenor and soprano) at the beginning. He also adds bass guitar anf electric piano.
As much as I tried this video has been copyright claimed so if you liked it and want to give it a like that would be awesome! haha
You should listen to them in chronological order...
You're not "behind the times", Led Zeppelin calls to everyone in their own time

I played “Rock and Roll” on drums at an open mic 20 years ago. There was a young lady in the audience who loved it, and is now my wife.

P.S Imagine and My Sweet Lord are songs by John Lennon and George Harrison. Don't think anyone was scaring you about listening to Zeppelin

... and now imagine 1971 ... and Led Zeppelin breaking out of 2 loudspeakers in your room ...

After listening to it for 40 years, Stairway can still bring me to tears. It's just unbelievable.
Love the reaction. I would suggest just starting with the first album and working your way forward.
Led Zeppelin III Since I been loving you. Master work
