While I love Stairway To Heaven as one of the greatest songs ever written, I don't believe it is even close to being my favorite. However, every year, poll after poll, this song is elected to be the number one rock and roll song of all time. I'm not at all surprised you like this song. Very dynamic.
You wouldn’t be wrong about the best song you ever heard. It’s probably the best song ever recorded. Great reaction. For you look up Paul Kossoff from the band called “Free” you look like him no offense but that’s a cool thing. Not a bad band at all to do a reaction from too. You can start with “all right now” just a suggestion.
Ahhh... the look in their eyes , when they finally realize, their grandparents music was better than their own. Welcome to higher education music. Welcome to the world of my youth.
I'm 82 years young this year, and I saw Led Zep play Perth early 70s. I'm still managing to rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Perth Australia 😎🖐🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶💕
@@___Guilherme___ thanks for the post Guilherme,yes I've lived through the greatest music ever made, never to be repeated. I'm now in my 83rd year I wonder now at how much TIME (that's a nod to Pink Floyd) I've got, was diagnosed with lung cancer about 3months ago, so I guess my listening days are now running out, once again thanks from Perth Australia. 👋🎵🎶🎵🦘
The first album is the best order of song on any album on the planet. The first song makes you want the next , on and on. 75 and still loving them. Saw them in England in 69 at klooks kleek.
Robert Plant on vocals...Jimmy Page on guitar(electeic and accousti)..John Paul Jones on bass and electric piano...John Bonham on drums...all 4 are legendary musicians and in a LEGENDARY BAND
John Paul on.. well everything else no one is playing because he can pick up and play anything. I agree, this band was hand picked for perfection in all the roles.
At 72 I'm still amysed as I watch another generation "find" the magic of Led Zeppelin that I grew up with. They were great as individual artists, but together they created true musical magic. Some suggestions would be : Out on the Tiles, Tangerine, and Gallows Pole. Enjoy your journey my friend and thanks for your reaction.
My uncle turned me onto Led Zeppelin at age 5 and I’m 54 now still listening to Led Zeppelin and still loving it! My uncle passed away in 2003 and we played Stairway to Heaven and the Rain Song at his funeral. I turned my son onto to Led Zeppelin at 5 and he is 13 now and plays drums just like I did and my uncle sang and played guitar so music is in our blood. Thank-You Led Zeppelin for literally being the soundtrack to our lives!
40 years ago I was in my best friend's room and he handed me some headphones and said, 'you have to hear this'. He watched me as I just sat and listened to it all the way through. My reaction was just like yours - speechless. I will never forget that day my whole life.
Welcome to the greatest band to ever grace the stage. In 1968 The stars where aligned when these 4 master musicians came together to become Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page the Guitarist and producer. He was the best session guitar player in the UK Jimmy had a vision to start up a new band. His creativity from him from playing his guitar with a violin bow, using a Theramin, making his own affects pedals. having a custom double neck guitar built for him by Gibson. They would do things that no other band dare do. Then by infusing different styles of music driven by a heavy thunderous beat.They Revolutionized Rock and Roll. He needed the right minded equally talented musicians for this to happen. Robert Plant a 18 year old vocalist was referred to him..Robert had what Jimmy was looking for. That soulful bluesy style who sang with heart and emotion but he could also scream like banshee.Robert recommended his friend John Bonham he was a thunderous drummer that hit the drums harder than any other drummer has. But he also he had the smooth quiet backing beat when needed. and his fills and triplets with a single bass drum was unlike any other. Then John Paul Jones (Bassest and keyboard) a true master mind of his own he had mastered many instruments while also being a sessions musician that Jimmy had often worked with. He herd about Jimmy's band and said he would give up plans he had and join in. From their first practice together Jimmy said there was this connection between all the members. Led Zeppelin was formed. They changed the way music was composed. They changed how music was Performed. And they changed the world with their first record. There are many real good bands out there but everyone of them were inspired in some way by what Zeppelin did. Imitation and copying something that has been done before is easy. Having the vision to introduce change is genius.There are no bad Led Zeppelin songs only timeless masterpieces.every song is different some bluesy some folk some rock some reggae, country, funk. They play it all with a added thunderous unique style that was unique to Led Zeppelin
First time I heard this I was in the back seat of a car packed with friends headed home from two hours of listening to Andre Segovia in Houston at Jones Hall. We were stunned into silence. What a night. From one mountain top to another. I do think young people may not understand the social context. This wasn't just about a rich women, it was an indictment of our generation and materialism. Too bad we didn't listen.
Thank you for your appreciation. Boomer, 67 female.loved your passion for the masterpiece ♥️. Was lucky enough to have my high school boyfriend, learn to play this song and play it for me. Boomers had such great music, passion for music, art, and we knew how blessed we were for it The way I would describe forte, balls out, take no prisoners These guys left it all on the floor. Wayne's World, we aren't worthy!
I've always felt it was Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody and Nights in White Satin as the three best rock songs. All three go outside just having basic rock elements in them. They all made these extraordinary timeless songs.
I totally agree that Stairway To Heaven is the greatest. I almost wish that I could totally forget the song so that I could rediscover it all over again. I seriously believe that the stars and planets all aligned in some sort of magical way and beamed majestic creativity to musicians during the early 1970s. This short period of time is truly the renaissance of music.
Didn’t realize you don’t make money on the vids. I’m in an angry mood but this helped. It’s worth the $5. I’m a huge Floyd fan but let’s be honest, Stairway is in a world it’s own. It’s risky, winding, and brilliant. And it’s a song that’s better live (as you know).
As I was standing waiting for the bus for school in Epsom, Surrey, England back in the early 60's, Jimmy (Page) playing lead guitar here used to walk past me going to his school. He always had a guitar on his back. All the kids knew, if you wanted to learn the guitar in Epsom, you went to Jimmy.
At the Kennedy Centre Honours for Led Zeppelin, Heart performed this song in front on the surviving members of the band. Jon Bonham’s son played the drums. Even if for just your own pleasure, you’ll want to watch that video.
jimmy page (also of yardbird fame) is often considered one of the top 3 guitarists of all time, john bonham, one of the most influential drummers in musical history. robert plant was the lead singer and frontman, and bassist and keyboardist john paul jones rounded out the group. jimmy page wrote most of the music and robert plant most of their lyrics. they were one of the best... the group disbanded following bonham's death in 1980, feeling that they would not be 'led zeppelin' without him
I remember the first time I heard it on the radio..in my friends kitchen..50 years ago..I was all by my self..when the guitar solo ..first note..gave me goose bumps..the rest was .. more and more. Incredible emotion...yes a ❤️ heart felt master piece....
Please do more Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. Watching your amazement when you hear a Floyd tune brings me back to my first listen to these guys. Now you must listen to Stairway to Heaven at Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin with Heart. If you aren't familiar with Heart, listen to Barracuda first
Masterpiece - WELL said, coolest young dude! You GET IT. I mean, Page's rock solo is innovative and amazing, but the acoustic build-up to it in the beginning with the acoustic guitar and flute ... and then Plant's stratospheric vocals. Bonham's drumming sets the pace, and John Paul Jones on bass, mandolin, you name it. Best ever ... you're right, kid! I just wish you could have seen Plant, Page et al in their heyday.
"Is this the best song ever made!!!!!" It very well could be young man! It's like asking the question, who is the most beautiful woman in the world. Plenty of candidates, but certainly all of them are spectacular!
Stairway to heaven was the song I had my first slow dance with a girl. 1975, Jefferson Jr. High. Leslie was the girl. I was so grateful that she said yes. I still smile everytime I hear this song. The bonus was that it was a slow and fast dance with only one ask:)
Dude, this song in the early 2000s I remember on the radio. They did like a 64 bracket like NCAA basketball. And every year, Stairway to heaven #1 greatest rock song of all time! This song is the #1 rock song of all time!!! It is to me. It’s cool you picked up how it starts slow, and picks up speed, and by the end it’s rocking badass! Man, greatest drummer of all time! These guys are LEGENDARY!
Yes, that is a recorder being played at the beginning... actually 3 recorders... John Paul Jones plays bass recorder to begin, then overdubbed tenor and soprano recorders... he also plays bass guitar and electric piano on the studio recording. When Zep performed live he covered the recorder sound with a mellotron while adding piano and playing bass lines with foot pedals. Basically the guy played seven different instruments for one damn song... and all were magnificent.
It was voted number 1 on FM Radio for years. I like this better than their live version, as the Studio Version really brings everything out and has a very echanting mood.
You should watch Zeppelin performing 'Since I've Been Loving You' live at Madison Square Garden, in 1973. It's a legendary performance of an incredible song! It's a must see/hear. Zeppelin were truly epic live. They didn't go in for big flashy shows, or gimmicks. They didn't need to. They had genius level musicianship and just oozed charisma. They were truly mesmerising live! :)
A classic. I was a teen of the 70's. First time I heard Led Zepplin I was hooked. I am now a well seasoned teen of 64, and I love this so g more than ever.....Oh the memories!!!
You will also love Deep Purple's "Child in Time" live video from late 60's. Just like Zeppelin, the whole band were consummate musicians who fed upon each other to make amazing music.
You should see this live! Live At Madison Square Garden is freaking phenomenal. They take this song to a whole other level and Jimmy Page’s solo will bring tears of joy to your eyes. (That’s if they’re still intact after seeing Robert Plant’s... confidence? shall we say?...in his ultra tight jeans😉). You’re in for an amazing journey
@@Cosmo-Kramer the live solo is more of a jam by the band, which is what they did live, often. Studio version solo tells a story, as it serves a pivitol emotional transition in the song. Live, it's moreso a loosely reversed improvised jam
@@SirMan48 I'll go along with that. Only to add that while the MSG solo is indeed a great jam, it doesn't have the goosebump-inducing magic that the studio solo has.
I was listening to this and other Zeppelin songs for over 52 years. This song was released in 1971 three years after I got back from Vietnam. Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page on guitar, John Bonham on drums, and John Paul Jones on bass. If this was released today it would be a monster hit. I love to hear young folks enjoy it too.
It is spiritual...2 paths to choose, piper to sway you, good vs evil, to be a rock (stand tall) and not a roll (go with the flow) trees will then echo with laughter (angels) celebrating your new awareness...choose wisely, God be with you.
I been listening to this song since is was a kid in the 70's, and it gives me goosebumps to see a new generation appreciate it like we did back in the day !
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush. The Holy Trinity on Mount Olympus of Rock. Each a different experience, each masterclass musicians and creators. Skills and talent off the chart. In the 70’s we knew Zeppelin and Floyd were great. Rush’s recognition came later as they were progressive and a bit ahead of their time. There were so many great bands and artists then. We took them for granted. But now, listening again through young reactors and a different time...we are able to appreciate them more fully for how great they really were. What a joy to watch a new generation have the experience of these path makers of rock. Without gimmicks or digital shortcuts. True virtuosos of creativity and skill. The Mozarts of their day. Timeless.
@@billhiggins1882With respect , what was that like .68, vol. 1.came out .In England that year , voting age was dropped from 21 to 18.I remember on the news about Vietnam war .Respect.
Robert Plant the original rock god , Jimmy Page one of the greatest guitarists ever , John Bonham the greatest rock drummer in my opinion and John Paul Jones one of the greatest bass players . Look up the legendary off stage excesses , they took things to a whole new level. When Zeppelin reformed for a one off concert in 2007 in London , 20 million people registered for the available 20,000 tickets. They have sold approx 300 million albums . I grew up through the 60s and 70s with all these amazing bands and artists . It's great to see you starting that journey of discovery. There is so much to discover which will blow your mind and give you the pleasure of passing the torch to future generations.
Led Zeppelin 4 was released November 8th 1971 so this song is now 52 years old and I’m 54 just to give you some perspective! Enjoy! Also this will sound trivial to some but at 3:23 On here the full sound of the original Jimmy’s guitar and John Paul’s recorders and bass it reminds me of being baptized in the warm water of the church ⛪️ baptismal pool! It takes my breath away!
I got out of the service in 70' and lo and behold Zep was in my town that year.All my friends were there and it was tremendous.But at that time there were many great bands and we took them a little bit for granted.I enjoy seeing young people discover how amazing these guy's really were
James Patrick Page + Robert Antony Plant + John Richard Baldwin + John Henry Bonham, the juggernaut of Valhalla, best band EVER. Greetings from Danmark 🤜🏻🇩🇰🤛
thanks man. enjoying that along with you is the reason why I watch these reaction videos because it's like hearing it for the first time watching you react to it. you got a good soul brother. cheers
I'm happy to see young people that can appreciate the music I grew up on. Keep on checking out music from that era, you won't be disappointed. I bought the album when it came out min '72, I still give it a listen from time to time.
led zeppelin, deep purple and pink floyd. three of the greatest bands ever and they were around at pretty much the same time. it's highly unlikely there will ever be another time like it
Don't forget Emerson lake and Palmer and Electric light Orchestra and Creedence Clearwater Revival.... but my top group to this day still is Led zeppelin. You will be blown away. Pink Floyd is one of many top groups. Late 60s and all 70s was the filet mignon of music. Not all rock either. Blue grass.country. ballads etc. The songwriting singing and playing of instruments by this crop of young talent was mind numbing. I spent so much time in my room listening to records. As a 62 year old.there is still more to explore I hadn't back then.. I know others who lived it will agree. Enjoy!!thanks for switching off Pink floyd for a min. This is one of the more mellow songs of theirs.
The Beatles, The Doors, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd (Started in 1965), The Kinks, The Yardbirds... The 60s had more overall talent than the 70s. Nothing against the 70s, they were great.

You wouldn’t be wrong about the best song you ever heard. It’s probably the best song ever recorded. Great reaction.

being a kid in the 70,s was a blast,the best bands ever
The 70's bro.
Cannot be touched.
The solid gold decade.
Maybe in past life time for me..!
The 80s were pretty awesome too, in my opinion.
Unless you lived in Ireland 💀
Amen!
Totally agree. The greatest decade in music!
Ahhh... the look in their eyes , when they finally realize, their grandparents music was better than their own. Welcome to higher education music. Welcome to the world of my youth.
Amen to that!
There ARE great rock bands out there today. It’s just that today’s music industry doesn’t elevate them to the status that bands like Zepplin achieved.
How lucky were we? Plus concert tickets were like $18.😂😂 saw Zeppelin 5 times. My boyfriend was a Zeppelin fanatic. Rock on. ✌🌻🌻
"Parents"
Amen my kids listened to this stuff all their lives and they agree
I'm 82 years young this year, and I saw Led Zep play Perth early 70s. I'm still managing to rock a bit, mainly in my rocking chair. Love and peace from Perth Australia 😎🖐🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶💕
"Just in time!"
And now we rock to rock in our rockers lol
You are a lucky dude!
@@___Guilherme___ thanks for the post Guilherme,yes I've lived through the greatest music ever made, never to be repeated.

Sending love to you my sister
I am 65 years old. It brings tears (of joy) to my eyes whenever I see a young person today discover Stairway to Heaven for the first time.
Same brother
I love the reaction of these kids when they hear Led Zeppelin 😊❤
If this is the first time you've listened to Zeppelin, then welcome down the rabbit hole, young man. You have an amazing journey ahead of you. Enjoy.
"The worm has finally turned for you"
I do a Zeppathon once a year. Every album in order. No skips.
The first album is the best order of song on any album on the planet. The first song makes you want the next , on and on. 75 and still loving them. Saw them in England in 69 at klooks kleek.
Robert Plant on vocals...Jimmy Page on guitar(electeic and accousti)..John Paul Jones on bass and electric piano...John Bonham on drums...all 4 are legendary musicians and in a LEGENDARY BAND
sorry bout typos
John Paul on.. well everything else no one is playing because he can pick up and play anything. I agree, this band was hand picked for perfection in all the roles.
John Bonham on drums, but he passed some time ago. His son played with the band for a while, but, like me, these guys are getting old
They're not called Gods of Rock for nothin!
At 72 I'm still amysed as I watch another generation "find" the magic of Led Zeppelin that I grew up with. They were great as individual artists, but together they created true musical magic. Some suggestions would be : Out on the Tiles, Tangerine, and Gallows Pole. Enjoy your journey my friend and thanks for your reaction.
The best singer, the best drummer, the best guitar player of all times along whit master musician j.paul jones in one single group!
My generation grew up on this stuff. Floyd, Led Zep, Deep Purple, The Who, The Stones....I envy you hearing this for the first time
Same.
in the 70' s Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Deep Purple Genesis Yes gave their best.....the golden era of rock
The best Rock N' Roll Band ever!!!
Ditto. We only know now how good we had it back then.
The Who and Deep Purple have no business being in the same sentence with Led Zepplin, The Stones and Pink Floyd
My uncle turned me onto Led Zeppelin at age 5 and I’m 54 now still listening to Led Zeppelin and still loving it!

Thank you for respecting music+ not interrupting all the time! It's a masterpiece that all of us in 60s got to hear.How lucky were we🎉❤😮
They're, quite simply, the greatest rock and roll band ever. Period. Listen to everything you can find.
Life is divided into two parts, one before and one after having heard this song for the first time.
Great comment !

I do think young people may not understand the social context. This wasn't just about a rich women, it was an indictment of our generation and materialism. Too bad we didn't listen.
These bands of the 70’s are the mozarts, Bach, Chopin, etc …are the next few generations of great music!! Classical!!
Thank you for your appreciation. Boomer, 67 female.loved your passion for the masterpiece ♥️. Was lucky enough to have my high school boyfriend, learn to play this song and play it for me.

Stairway to Heaven is a life changing masterpiece. I lived this era. Nothing like it.
With each step up, the music literally builds a "Stairway to Heaven".
This, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hotel California are, IMO, the three best rock songs every written and performed. Hands down.
And “Lucky Man”, by Emerson, Lake and Palmer - another epic with real scope and orchestral ambition.
It’s fair to include Pink Floyd in this group, almost any song off Dark Side of the Moon
No doubt.
I've always felt it was Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody and Nights in White Satin as the three best rock songs. All three go outside just having basic rock elements in them. They all made these extraordinary timeless songs.
I totally agree that Stairway To Heaven is the greatest. I almost wish that I could totally forget the song so that I could rediscover it all over again. I seriously believe that the stars and planets all aligned in some sort of magical way and beamed majestic creativity to musicians during the early 1970s. This short period of time is truly the renaissance of music.
Great to see a intelligent young man out there.
You can’t really use words to describe this song. This song is an experience. And, you feel it every time you hear it!
What gets me about this song is that it progresses from the slow quiet acoustic guitar and flutes to that scorched-earth ending SEAMLESSLY.
Didn’t realize you don’t make money on the vids. I’m in an angry mood but this helped. It’s worth the $5. I’m a huge Floyd fan but let’s be honest, Stairway is in a world it’s own. It’s risky, winding, and brilliant. And it’s a song that’s better live (as you know).

There are so many great rock songs. This song....this song...stands alone. The greatest rock song ever. 🤘🔥
Yes this is the best song ever made. It never gets old.....generation after generation.
Your face told the story of what you thought about this. Welcome to some of the best rock and roll of all time. Great reaction my friend.
Real bands and real musicians. Time can’t touch this
At the Kennedy Centre Honours for Led Zeppelin, Heart performed this song in front on the surviving members of the band. Jon Bonham’s son played the drums. Even if for just your own pleasure, you’ll want to watch that video.
Couldn't agree more...Heart really does Zeppelin justice.
jimmy page (also of yardbird fame) is often considered one of the top 3 guitarists of all time, john bonham, one of the most influential drummers in musical history. robert plant was the lead singer and frontman, and bassist and keyboardist john paul jones rounded out the group. jimmy page wrote most of the music and robert plant most of their lyrics. they were one of the best... the group disbanded following bonham's death in 1980, feeling that they would not be 'led zeppelin' without him
Hey dude,now you know how i felt when i heard LZ in 1974!!Am 82 now and still my favourite band!
I remember the first time I heard it on the radio..in my friends kitchen..50 years ago..I was all by my self..when the guitar solo ..first note..gave me goose bumps..the rest was .. more and more.
Incredible emotion...yes a ❤️ heart felt master piece....
All my life Bonham has been my favorite drummer.
now ya know why old people think most modern music is lacking.
Zeppeplin was MASTERMINDS writing, playing!! 😍😁🤯🎸🔥🐐
Just goes to show you, a great song will always be a great song.
This song was like our official tract of a great time in my youth.
Your evaluation is spot on! "Stairway to Heaven" was voted the best rock song OVER THE 30 YEARS!
Glad to see the youth enjoying a classic!
For those of us of a certain age, when you heard this song it meant the school dance was over.
Please do more Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. Watching your amazement when you hear a Floyd tune brings me back to my first listen to these guys. Now you must listen to Stairway to Heaven at Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin with Heart. If you aren't familiar with Heart, listen to Barracuda first
He has the same hair as Robert Plant 😁
The music from my youth. So good. Your face was priceless. Now you know. (We had the best cars, too.)
Growing up in the 60's and 70's was such a wonderful time musically. It gives me so much joy to see you enjoying it.

It's refreshing to see young people fall in love with songs that us boomers/genXers have always loved.
"Is this the best song ever made!!!!!" It very well could be young man! It's like asking the question, who is the most beautiful woman in the world. Plenty of candidates, but certainly all of them are spectacular!

These guys are LEGENDARY!
I felt very fortunate to hear it for the first time and for the thousandth time as well.
I think you’ll listen more than 10x’s. You’ll listen to it for the rest of your life! 😍
The best of UK bands at a time when there were many!
Yes, that is a recorder being played at the beginning... actually 3 recorders...

As an added bonus, you've got Robert Plants hair!!

Welcome you have just been Zepped!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stairway is clearly the rock masterpiece of all time. Zep was a stunning band.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I was just about to suggest it. This song, this performance is my drug and I am taking it daily. Even my dogs love it.
I love when you said Wow!!!
A classic. I was a teen of the 70's. First time I heard Led Zepplin I was hooked. I am now a well seasoned teen of 64, and I love this so g more than ever.....Oh the memories!!!
Welcome aboard son. Keep exploring the 70's. It's loaded with masterpieces.
Probably the best reaction I’ve ever seen! Great job!
you don't need to describe this song......the song describes itself perfecly
You will also love Deep Purple's "Child in Time" live video from late 60's. Just like Zeppelin, the whole band were consummate musicians who fed upon each other to make amazing music.
You should see this live! Live At Madison Square Garden is freaking phenomenal. They take this song to a whole other level and Jimmy Page’s solo will bring tears of joy to your eyes. (That’s if they’re still intact after seeing Robert Plant’s... confidence? shall we say?...in his ultra tight jeans😉). You’re in for an amazing journey
The live solo is great. But it's vastly different from the solo on the studio cut--and not as magnificent.
@@Cosmo-Kramer the live solo is more of a jam by the band, which is what they did live, often. Studio version solo tells a story, as it serves a pivitol emotional transition in the song. Live, it's moreso a loosely reversed improvised jam
@@SirMan48 I'll go along with that. Only to add that while the MSG solo is indeed a great jam, it doesn't have the goosebump-inducing magic that the studio solo has.
I was listening to this and other Zeppelin songs for over 52 years. This song was released in 1971 three years after I got back from Vietnam. Robert Plant on vocals, Jimmy Page on guitar, John Bonham on drums, and John Paul Jones on bass. If this was released today it would be a monster hit. I love to hear young folks enjoy it too.
It is spiritual...2 paths to choose, piper to sway you, good vs evil, to be a rock (stand tall) and not a roll (go with the flow) trees will then echo with laughter (angels) celebrating your new awareness...choose wisely, God be with you.
I been listening to this song since is was a kid in the 70's, and it gives me goosebumps to see a new generation appreciate it like we did back in the day !
I agree, Stairway to Heaven is my favorite! Zeppelin is my favorite band! The theme of my high school Sr pro in 1979 was Stairway To Heaven
More than 50 years after, Stairway to Heaven still creates an impact! LED ZEPPELIN will always be the best band for me❤
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush. The Holy Trinity on Mount Olympus of Rock. Each a different experience, each masterclass musicians and creators. Skills and talent off the chart.
In the 70’s we knew Zeppelin and Floyd were great. Rush’s recognition came later as they were progressive and a bit ahead of their time. There were so many great bands and artists then. We took them for granted. But now, listening again through young reactors and a different time...we are able to appreciate them more fully for how great they really were.
What a joy to watch a new generation have the experience of these path makers of rock. Without gimmicks or digital shortcuts. True virtuosos of creativity and skill.
The Mozarts of their day. Timeless.
About the 500th time for me, and still brought tears to my eyes.
Grew up on Zepplin , best band ever , listen also to whole lot of love. I still listen.
I discovered Led Zeppelin when I was 16 in 1976 after going to the movie "The Song Remains the Same".
What was that movie about? I never heard of it. Heard the song before but not the movie.
@@plumeria66 it's Led Zeppelin in concert.
@@rickt1154 Got it.
It's encouraging to see you discover this being one-third my age. I was a kid when this came out. We grew up with this.
I was in nam in 68
@@billhiggins1882With respect , what was that like .68, vol. 1.came out .In England that year , voting age was dropped from 21 to 18.I remember on the news about Vietnam war .Respect.
I was a senior in High School and a teenager when this came out.
Greatest band of all time. Listen to everything by them.
You will also love Led Zep's Kashmir, Live on Celebration Day. They were in their 60s when they performed it and it's absolute perfection!
That word you’re looking for- greatness.
It’s said when the kids pray to the rock gods, they’re hoping Zepp answers.
Kashmir is my fave
Robert Plant the original rock god , Jimmy Page one of the greatest guitarists ever , John Bonham the greatest rock drummer in my opinion and John Paul Jones one of the greatest bass players . Look up the legendary off stage excesses , they took things to a whole new level. When Zeppelin reformed for a one off concert in 2007 in London , 20 million people registered for the available 20,000 tickets.
They have sold approx 300 million albums . I grew up through the 60s and 70s with all these amazing bands and artists . It's great to see you starting that journey of discovery. There is so much to discover which will blow your mind and give you the pleasure of passing the torch to future generations.
First time listener,carry on and prepare to have your mind blown. Best band ever,period ☘
Yes, I agree. You should do more Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin 4 was released November 8th 1971 so this song is now 52 years old and I’m 54 just to give you some perspective! Enjoy!
Also this will sound trivial to some but at 3:23 On here the full sound of the original Jimmy’s guitar and John Paul’s recorders and bass it reminds me of being baptized in the warm water of the church ⛪️ baptismal pool! It takes my breath away!
I got out of the service in 70' and lo and behold Zep was in my town that year.All my friends were there and it was tremendous.But at that time there were many great bands and we took them a little bit for granted.I enjoy seeing young people discover how amazing these guy's really were
James Patrick Page + Robert Antony Plant + John Richard Baldwin + John Henry Bonham, the juggernaut of Valhalla, best band EVER.
Greetings from Danmark 🤜🏻🇩🇰🤛
You should see this live from MSG, the guitar solo is at another level!
It's great, but cannot compete with the studio cut.
The crescendo is what you're talking about :-D You'd love this live! Can't wait for you to do, Kashmir..I love Since ive been loving you
Excellent reaction. Lost in Vegas sure didnt get it but you sure did. Wise young college student!
thanks man. enjoying that along with you is the reason why I watch these reaction videos because it's like hearing it for the first time watching you react to it. you got a good soul brother. cheers
Young people generally dont have any idea what they've missed. Glad you are journeying into the 70s. Keep it up!
First heard this at friends house skipping school. I can hear it 1,000 times +it sounds different every time. Masterpiece... Yes ❤
I'm happy to see young people that can appreciate the music I grew up on. Keep on checking out music from that era, you won't be disappointed. I bought the album when it came out min '72, I still give it a listen from time to time.
Excellent reaction bro. I remember my first impression of this song was the same, and still remains decades later. Truly epic. New sub. 😎
led zeppelin, deep purple and pink floyd. three of the greatest bands ever and they were around at pretty much the same time. it's highly unlikely there will ever be another time like it
Don't forget Emerson lake and Palmer and Electric light Orchestra and Creedence Clearwater Revival.... but my top group to this day still is Led zeppelin. You will be blown away. Pink Floyd is one of many top groups. Late 60s and all 70s was the filet mignon of music. Not all rock either. Blue grass.country. ballads etc. The songwriting singing and playing of instruments by this crop of young talent was mind numbing. I spent so much time in my room listening to records. As a 62 year old.there is still more to explore I hadn't back then.. I know others who lived it will agree. Enjoy!!thanks for switching off Pink floyd for a min. This is one of the more mellow songs of theirs.
The Beatles, The Doors, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd (Started in 1965), The Kinks, The Yardbirds...
The 60s had more overall talent than the 70s. Nothing against the 70s, they were great.
All of the aforementioned and King Crimson ❤️❤️❤️
And King Crimson ❤️
And you forgot Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant to name but a few others!
This what I would call: THE SONG OF SONGS!!! GREATEST ROCK SONG IN HISTORY!
So fun to watch this. Robert plant is the best rock singer of all time. And Jimmy page...unreal.
