To me, THIS is their masterpiece...
fair statement
One of them for sure! The fact that so man years after a band like TOOL made a tribute of this song tells you everything about how good and influencial it was/is! ZEP for life!🤘❤🤟
You can hear the prog influences in this excellent track. JPJ added some nice colors which really make the track as a whole stand out on the album. Love the live version also from 1973 at MSG. Love these guys reactions to the classic rock I grew up with all those years ago.
1000%
@@tnightwolf A baton passing from one great prog rock band to another. both are great. Suh a good song.
These boys came to win. Every song, every album. There body of work is timeless. Will never not be the best.
Don't forget, this was analog recorded, microphone to tape, years before digital and ProTools would come along. Simply amazing.
This song from live at msg is off the charts
Please play the long version from the original non-remastered original cd. They shortened it on the remastered cd.
❤️
@@tomgross181 Thank you. The remastered version cuts out a lot of Page's solo.
Yes,!!
77 in Seattle though!
MAN, that guitar tone. I had frorgotten how dirty it is. Amazing.
One masterpiece after the next. No rock band has ever written and produced so many stone cold masterpieces in their catalogue. Insane
I love that you guys see it’s the WHOLE band. Growing up in the 80s/90s nobody gave JPJ his due but with fresh ears you guys totally “get it”!
JPJ is a walking talking, playing musical note, he is in my top 3 bass and top 10 keyboard players of all time, plus one of the greatest producers studio masters ever, it is unfair he and Page were not only master musicians but would have been at the top of the list for what they did at the mixing board.
@@vicprovost2561
And arranger
And mandolin
I was thinking the same thing. JPJ made new kinds of music for the world. Each of them was the best of their time.
Must of hung around the wrong crowd back then. JPJ was like a God back in the early 90s music scene.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! THANKS GUYS
No Quarter = No Mercy. That’s the Zeppelin way. Take no prisoners, hooked for life. Love the reactions guys. 🤘😎

No one told you JPJ is an octopus?? He uses all 8 limbs when he plays this song live. The independence is incredible!!
The secret sauce, the secret weapon...JPJ !!!
The vibe in this song has never been duplicated. One of my favorites from Zeppelin.
I started high school in 1969. Led Zeppelin stood out from all the other bands at that time. I was into the Motown sound before Zeppelin came out. The Spinners, O'Jays, Commodores, Etta James to a name a few, and when Led Zeppelin's first album came out I really didn't know what to think. It was such a radical departure from everything else being put out at that time. A time when The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and The Who were rocking out as well. But Zeppelin was different from all of them. 4 musical genius' came together and were able to blend their genius into mind-blowing songs. Songs that sounded very different from the other songs on the album and different from songs on any of their albums. My musical tastes range from Percy Sledge to Fiona Apple to Everlast. I consider Zeppelin a once in a lifetime group that I was fortunate enough to enjoy in the prime of my youth.
4 geniuses that created a new musical world.
I always said that if there is such a thing as a magical song it's No Quarter. It's sick chemistry between the band members. The No Quarter riff is the coolest guitar riff ever.
Great ending to dis song
I've always thought it had to be some sort of divine intervention that brought these four musical geniuses together!
Probably their most atmospheric track and that electric piano adds so much, sooper cool vibe!
PS - I see you guys are getting a real buzz from this track. And it still gives me goose bumps decades after first hearing it!
The brilliance of John Paul Jones shining bright.
It's Zeppelin of course it's awesome.. Evey they did was amazing.. Hands down best band ever
.. Not a weakness anywhere.. All stars, all of them!
I'll say the same about Black Sabbath, Rush, Pink Floyd etc... But you aren't wrong. Zeppelin is themselves. Wide range. Great songs across the spectrum.
They have some duds on most of their albums.
Zero bands have no bad songs.
That riff is just so damn menacing, you got to love it
That's the word I was looking for when I made mention of ELP's barbarian. whatever that effect that's on Jimmy's guitar Greg lake's guitar has the same fuzz effect on his guitar but Less polished much more denser and upfront in the mix and very menacing.
I believe on the Barbarian, that's a Maestro Fuzztone or some similar circuit on bass guitar. Page is likely using a Solasound Tone bender Mkii but I'm not sure. He is known for using that effect for the majority of his fuzz tones.
Bonzo's grove is off the charts. His use of ghost notes, his foot pedal patterns with a puncy snare and bass drum sound takes this song to another level.
Live esp
THE BIG REACTION has ARRIVED.
Played this for my class in high school as a project. Teacher actually liked it! Rock on.
Awesome I did the same with Neil Young's tune Needle and the damage done.
I've been hearing that piano break followed by that lead for 45 years. It still beautiful.
I’ve known this song for 35 years and it STILL blows me away.
Just when you thought it can't get any better......😁
The best of all time…No one compares!!!
" I'm suffocating man". Best ever
One of the greatest songs ever, by anyone, never mind it is the mighty Led Zeppelin. They just have so many colors in their audio palette, so many different kinds of rock songs but always different and great in their own way tunes. This is utterly classic in studio, one of the best headphones songs you can test a pair with. Live, it takes on a life of its own and runs 10 to 20 minutes and Jimmy and JPJ get plenty of room to solo. Great tune guys, the journey continues. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Also, yes, the production and engineering on their albums is second to none, the only 2 other bands who I get those kinds of vibes on their studio mastery are Pink Floyd and the WHO on their best albums. You just get to a certain level and all the rest of us can do is listen in awe. 🎧
OMG!! I love the Led!! I'm 62 and a typical day in 1976 was , school (?), then a friend's house to burn a couple doobies and listen to Led Zeppelin. Sitting in the beanbag chair, lights out with blacklight on and all the blacklight posters on the wall and being hypnotized by the lava lamp. This was 1976 and up!! They are geniuses and storytellers and visionaries. Great seeing your reactions!! How about a reaction to Bad Company, "Shooting Star" and ELO, "telephone line" or "Turn to Stone"
After each song, after each album, you gentlemen can realize that Zeppelin are and will always be the G.O.A.T’s
I’m 62 and was lucky enough to get to grow up with this kind of music. If you think this blows your mind now imagine being a young teenager in the early 70s with access to “mind altering” substances of various natures and listening to this stuff 🤯
Amen...
I always enjoyed how 420 complimented the music of our era. I am 62 as well. So blessed to have been raised on this music.
Based !! Live from MSG 73 is even better
You guys are the best your next song you’re gonna love his Achilles last stand recommended by me off the album presents good job guys
Of all the songs in their catalog, this one probably has the most variety in live shows,with JPJ doing extended solos on organ and grand piano, moving in all possible directions, and varying widely from night to night. As great as the studio cut is, the live versions are simply amazing.
I love JPJ dream episode in the Movie.
I have not heard this song by Zeppelin in a long time. Forgot just how incredibly good it is🎶 Thanks so much guys for reacting to this one - brought me way back! Love your comments☺
listen more! Truly, music from "back then" was and is Special...any genre, some you even have a hard time defining, was an amazing time to grow up...I am so glad younger generations are taking the time to discover....now go listen to The Rain Song,,,,lol
Same reaction. This album is my third favorite Zep, but I often skip No Quarter because it's a bit long and downbeat. The monster Phys. Graffiti awaits.
And the live version is even better!
@@alansmith7626 I grew up with great era of real music too, and yes, it's great to see younger consumers not just enjoying it but also young musicians being influenced by it too
@@alansmith7626 Agree Alan! This channel has brought back a lot of memories and wanting to listen to more older tunes. Music was so special back then. I love "The Rain Song":)
There just isn’t anyone else like Led Zeppelin they’re on their own island. How important of a band they were is hard to find words. We used to kick back and get tore up to this stuff and let it take you to another world.
Tore up from the _FLOOR_ ~up!
As GREAT as the stones, and the Beatles were. They simply can’t touch the elevated air Zeppelin was able to reach. Mainly because of the talent of the 4 members especially Bonzo who separated Zeppelin from everyone else.
@@MrDeengels And _JPJ_ the Gorilla Glue holding it all together at the back.......
There are other bands, but they are rare. Opeth and Rush come to mind, and to some degree Pink Floyd. But active bands, Opeth. Not the same type of music at all, but the same attention to detail, musicianship, craft etc. etc....
Mister john Bonham
This song is in my top five of my favourite band. So haunting, so atmospheric, JPJ at his best. Genius.
ZEPPELIN BEST BAND EVER…I STAND BY THAT 55 YEARS LATER!!!
This is why I keep tellin' yall - Zeppelin simply has SOOOO many ELITE songs.....frankly more than ANY other band....Period. They just keep going.
The Beatles have just as many. Of course, Zep did it with a catalog just half the size of The Beatles'.
Correction.......Pink Floyd
Well if we are talking elite then Rush fans have a dog in this fight as well. Oh then there is another that comes down from the cosmos every once and a while name of TOOL. Of course they are beyond elite 😊
At 63 years old I'm still amazed by THE greatest rock(blues) band ever. It's really fun watching you guys discover what I've known for almost 50 years, timeless, genuine, original and absolute porn for the ears. Love how much you love it.
Porn for the ears? Priceless. 🎸
Hi Bill, l can relate, l'm 74, saw them in Denver in '73....they devour the music...they are like an F-5 tornado or a mountain creek in a meadow & everything in between.. miraculous talent...thx for your reaction to them...
@@johnwdaley4727 so fortunate we are to have lived in a time when rock music was at it's absolute best.
The 1973 MSG live version of this song is one of the greatest pieces of music ever. The 12 minutes non-cut version expecially
Yes. Page's solo is hall-of-fame stuff.
👌
Between robert's vocals the instruments The vibe just just sit back close your eyes and just let it take your mind wherever it wants to go.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Imagine our smiles when this vinyl dropped in 1973 😎
This song would become Jonesy's showpiece when performed live and could last 20 minutes or more. He would improv through a keys solo and add things like bits of classical, jazz, blues...whatever he felt. This definitely has a bit of prog-rock feel as they always tried to explore the obscure paths of music. They got the underwater-like piano sound by processing Jonesy's Hohner ElectraPiano through a synth. There are so many musical textures and techniques here including synth washes, synth soloing, Moog Taurus pedals and an uncharacteristically jazzy guitar solo from Jimmy. According to engineer Andy Johns, they got the buzzy guitar sound by using a couple of compressors and direct injection into the mixer; it was a technique similar to the one they used for Black Dog. The overall thick sound happened in part by Jimmy using vari-speed to slow it down. The lyrics touch on Robert's continued fondness for legends, lore, and battles fought both real and fantasy as he describes soldiers "wearing steel that's bright and true" travelling possibly through a mountain range (the "winds of Thor" could be Mount Thor, a Canadian mountain range) during a blizzard. They will show "no quarter" as they "carry news that must get through". This is a dark, moody masterpiece.
Henrietta, you used the word "thick"! Damn straight! This has an ethereal yet very THICK sound. Great word to describe the near impossible. Great comment👍🏻
#LZ Masterpiece!!
I guessed it was at least a compressor but interesting it’s actually two jacked into the board. What is the Vari-speed you mentioned? Was that a pedal or a technique employed in the mix?
@@CANDOKNOWHOW vari-speed is a pitch control device. It's kind of like an early analog ancestor to Auto-Tune.
@@henriettaskolnick4445 It sounds incredible paired with Page’s playing!
NO QUARTER!!! basically means NO MERCY 😅😊love it
Traveling riverside blues. You need do this it's great. Led zeppelin
Yes a fantastic deep Zeppelin cut. Love that song!
This became one of their top most played songs live, over a hundred xs once it dropped. There is at least 1 live version that is a whopping 45min long. And no one complains.
Absolute monster song
Yes and somewhere there is a Dazed and Confused approaching that length. Bands like them, Mountain, Hot Tuna and others actually had the jamming skills to play long and ever changing versions of their greatest songs, like who plays a 20+ minute song now, never mind a 30 or 40+ minute jam?
My favourite Zeppelin album as well. The live version from The Song Remains the Same is amazing. The keyboard and guitar solos will blow your mind. And now your socks will be blown off by The Ocean. "We've done four already, but now we're steady and then they went one, two, three, four." Enjoy.
Warms my heart to see young folk like yourselves become Zeppelin fans! Like I did, way back when!
It's crazy that this middle aged lady was so looking forward to your reaction to this song for the last few days...to music that has been in my life for decades? But here we are in 2023 and it was another treat - thanks guys. Rediscovering LZ with you has been a delight. And revisiting the next album, Physical Graffiti...Holy **** there are songs on that one that will really blow your socks off. You still have a ways to go yet...It is so great to see music fans experience and talk about Led Zeppelin for the first time, their catalogue is so huge and amazing. Keep up the great work, really enjoy watching your channel.
No doubt! “Graffiti” is the band’s most “complete” and diverse record. Because of the events that unfolded in 1975 and beyond, it’s the last truly great Zep album. But first: “The Ocean”!
I’m 64 years old I listen to Led Zeppelin since 1968 and I agree they are the best aunt ever I have other albums and there’s so many great songs in this line it’s the best band ever 😮❤❤
TSRTS version is my favorite Led Zeppelin song with what I still consider the greatest live guitar solo ever recorded.
"You never know where it's going" You said it, man!
Incredible how they can have so many great songs on each album. This was the era of filler tracks, but not on Zeppelin albums.
Led Zepplin have a lot of great songs, but this is one of the best.
"The Ocean" will Rock You Both Hard, Zeppelin Style. 1 2 3 4 Ready For That SNARE
For me, Bonham's swinging drum groove is still the most incredible thing about this song.
He hardly ever does 16th notes on the hi-hats, so this remains one of the best studies of his dynamics and I love it. It's close to mystic.
Well said
It’s so hard to pick a favorite album because they are all great and different at the same time.
They never made anything but great records the reason I have them slightly ahead of Pink Floyd, who had mixed results before Meddle and especially Dark Side of the Moon.
No Quarter live at MSG 1973 is the best performance. Ever. A close second is Since I’ve Been Loving You live at MSG. You will be blown away by anything from that show.
From the Song Remains the Same concert movie for Since I've been Loving You is the best version.
It sounds great even after all these years! 💿🎹🎸🥁🎧
Absolutely love this track without a doubt part of the Led Zeppelin top ten songs.
Wait until you check this out live at MSG. After you go through their studio catalog then you can dive into their live stuff. The Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep and winding.
As they have gone through the whole catalogue, it would be nice to see them double back and cover live versions of their favorites after they finish with the studio recordings...
- this is the song, that caps the Houses of the Holy album -
Always been my fav Zep tune 😊
I remember as a kid about 8 yrs old in late 70s an early 80s that I use to think that Led zeppelin, Black sabbath, pink Floyd, AC/DC were all from my town, because everybody back then had these band freaking screaming out their car stereo with windows down... That's all you heard, now it seems I'm the only one who's volume is all the way up in my truck while riding
I love watching people hear Zeppelin for the first time.
Your reactions are hilarious im in my 60s and throwing newspapers at 5 am listening to all of some of the best music from the 50s onward
I think what I love the best about these reaction videos, even though I've listened this song probably a couple 100 times, is I get to go back and it feels like I'm hearing it again for the first time. It's great, thanks guys!
I forgot how good this is. Haven't listened to in years and years.
I love how you guys are so impressed by this band. I'm learning to appreciate it even more watching your reactions. The artistry is off the charts!. Nevermind the virtuosity and creativity.
Wait for the next album...zeppelin always surprising...but no quarter is on my Top 5 songs...masterpiece...watch it live from 1973, with video...just killer
I gave a rebuilt 1978 125w receiver, a technics turntable, and a pair of JBL studio monitors.
It’s even more amazing through a quality hi-fi system, if you can believe that.
No Quarter was a term in Medieval warfare that meant the ability to surrender....No quarter meant no surrender and no prisoners taken....The bass player John Paul Jones also played keyboards as well as mandolin.
Essentially yes. No quarter means 'no mercy' in other words no prisoners taken. To give no quarter is to give no mercy. To ask no quarter is to ask for no mercy - a fight to the death. It comes from the idea that if you accept prisoners you have to 'quarter' them (find accommodation for them).
I was lucky to see them 3 times at MSG back in the 70’s. Each concert was different, but everyone was a completely differ T experience! Pure joy!
Now I know what my face looked like 50 years ago when I first heard this. You guys are priceless. Now the next song up is my personal favorite on this album. You two have so much more in store with this next album. Enjoy and thank you!! 🎶🎼🎵🎸
At the threshold of your destiny: They ask no mercy, they give no mercy. Possibly my favorite Led Zeppelin song of all time.
I was good to see my brother's. The guitar lead on the live version of this song is beyond outstanding. More. Please. Until next? Time. Stay well and popping for Fresh
I love, love, love watching young people’s reaction to Led Zeppelin, the best band ever! 🙂
TOP 5 ALL TIME Zeppelin songs as well as one of Page's coolest Guitar riffs, hands down...please do version from Song Remains the same Movie from 73 MSG guys...
I loved the look of bewilderment when you first realized Zepplin is the goats!!! Unsurpassed musicianship!! Enjoy
GOAT band
This was a beautiful keyboard part brought in by John Paul Jones (who didn't sign the pact with the Devil) and Jimmy and Robert made it evil and eerie sounding - and Robert wrote somewhat mysterious lyrics, but those lyrics are about Bonzo, Robert and Jimmy signing a pact with the Devil. The lyrics are somewhat disguised.
No Quarter = no mercy - when you sign a pact with the Devil - you can't ask for mercy or expect mercy. You get whatever misfortune or triumph which comes along, bc you signed your soul away.
The tour following the release if this album was mammoth and record setting in rock history. They broke The Beatles single act attendance record at Tampa Stadium on the 2nd date of the tour - May 5th, 1973. Houses was released on March 28th, 1973.
Look the lyrics up - "...the Devil mocks their every step..."
"...they choose the path where no one goes..."
Are ya serious right now? 😮
Favorite Led Zep song!!
I was able to see The Jason Bohnam Zep Experience about a year ago..What an absolute treat to hear them play this to a T. Their music was so diverse yet still rocked your socks off , or take you around the universe with tunes like this one.
Well done gents ..
As you go deeper in the rabbit hole of Led Zeppelin
One of fav’s!
Hell, they’re all my fav’s!
😆🤣
You get that heavy bottom end sound whenever the guitar & bass play unison lines. Makes the lows THICK! ……as a brick!🎸
..& Paige did use some crafty-sometimes innovated effects/equipment for that time. He gave the guitars lots of different tones/textures, etc. & yes, JPJ is that damn good! You were correct in saying “they were all masters of their crafts!”
How is it possible? So ridiculously good!
Y'all knocking it out the Park today 👌💪
The comment about how watching you they now know what their face looked liked the first time hearing their music. Same. Your doing this allows us to recapture some of that first-time listening back in the '70's. I was 7, almost 8. First listen was at my older cousin's house. The next day I started hitting up the neighbors to mow lawns/wash cars or if they had any "Coke" bottles to return for cash to raise the $6 or $8 to buy my own copy. I'm SO enjoying your chronological journey through their catalog.
The best song on a truly great album.
I adore Zeppelin but this album hit me hard, still in my best top 5 of all time 🥰🔥
This song live could go for 30-35 minutes some nights, and listening to the interplay between JPJ, Page and Bonham is so incredible!
You have to check out some good quality live performances too! Because it wasn’t rehearsed, it was all groove and feel between the band that led the song all over the place and then back to it’s roots!
Simply an Amazing Band, individually and collectively, light and shade.
Another great reaction guys. Such a classic and unique song. Fully agree with everyone suggesting the 1973 live No Quarter performance from MSG -- it is a must watch. Jimmy's solo in that one is beyond belief. And, lucky you, you still have three more Zep albums to go (actually four counting Coda which is great too); next one up is Physical Graffiti, my personal favorite. But you can't go wrong with the mighty Zep. Love your work gentlemen, keep it up!
The live version from the Song Remains The Same live DVD (or audio) is the greatest thing Zepplin has ever done as far as I'm concerned.
Great for 65 yr old who grew up with this music since 12, to see u guys appreciate "our" music. I think the common denominator is R&B. The Stones, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath....all considered themselves a "blues band". And who doesn't love R&B?
Hands down my favorite Zeppelin album. Love them all, but this one is special.
Yeah, man..there's just something about Houses of the Holy...
Fell asleep to this every night in high school in the 80’s 🔥
"Walking side-by-side with death
The devil mocks their every step."
What a great lyric!
Definitely one of their best
The first time I heard this song, my buddy and I went on a cruise and smoked some good weed. This song blew my mind, and it became my favorite instantly. Gives me goosebumps still.
Def one of my top 5 LED songs. Just A Great Jam that sometimes gets missed 🎉🎉Thank You Keep up the Great Review’s. Love it 🫠
This was JPJ's masterpiece. I've mentioned it elsewhere, but you spoke again of how well they all play together, so I'll mention it again. The live version (at MSG, about 10 mins) of Dazed and Confused is incredible. It's Dazed and Confused alright, but they go off on a tangent or two and it's just seamless. Jammin'.
