This was released in 1969. Back door man meant something totally different in the UK back then. He would be the man who sneaked out of the back door when the husband came home.

When Giant's Walked the Earth 🌎🎉 Led Zeppelin

There is no replacement for real talent, playing real musical instrument, without the help of digital processing or auto tuning. This music was produced extremely well, especially for its time, the musicians throughout the lineup are absolutely epic, legends for the ages. They were inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame, when it actually actually meant something not like now

No one in hip hop could ever sound like this. NO other rock band could come close to them. They were unique and very good musicians.

Back door man meant something different then, lol. It means to be someone’s secret lover. They leave by the back door so as not to be seen.

Walk up to four total strangers, and ask each to list their seven favorite Zeppelin songs, there is a good chance you won’t see any song listed twice. Their library is that deep.

78 and still listen to Zeppelin and Pink Floyd our Era had the best music and lots of diversity ❤️

once you discover Led Zep life turns a corner. happy days

Led Zeppelin is one of the biggest sampled bands in Hip Hop. I was a teen in the 80"s but my favorite band of all time is Zeppelin.

There will never be another Led Zeppelin...or anyone even close!!🎶🎸🎵🎶

Page was an increbible producer as well as one of if not the raunchiest guitarist in rock history🤘❤️

Give The Lemon song a listen.

"You know how many babies were made to this song?" (Realization kicks in) "I'M PROBABLY ONE OF THEM!" Brilliant Cliff... keep up the stellar work man :-)

I was born in 1986 and this is my dad's favorite band and I absolutely love it

"Over The Hills And Far Away, "Ten Years Gone", and Hey Hey What Can I Do".

Greatest band to grace the planet! Watch their live performances!!

This came out in 1969. The older music is more warm and emotional because it was recorded on analogue equipment, whereas most of today's music has "colder" feel to it because of the digital production.

omg! I'm laughing so hard.. I needed to laugh a little today, it was an intense day, so thank you!! I can't believe you didn't know about this classic! Please do more of these reactions to gems. I loved this reaction!!🙌🏻❤️ immigrant song, d'yer mak'er, black dog!! oh man!! so many great forever songs!

Two songs to start, "Stairway to Heaven" off of Led Zeppelin IV, and "Since I've Been Loving You" off of Led Zeppelin III. Please react to the studio versions of these songs, NOT the live versions. The live versions were improvisational and unpredictable. The studio versions will give you a better appreciation for the magical genius within the songs, as well as the awesome production skills of perhaps the greatest music producer of all time, Jimmy Page (who is also Led Zeppelin's founder and guitarist). I'm really looking forward to seeing you react to these two masterpieces! Peace

The Lemon Song should be on the list ✌

Led Zeppelin was one of the best bands of all time.

Greatest live band ever! Check out some live performances, especially Since I've Been Loving You.

They never disappoint, innovative and so iconic. The 70’s were awesome to grow up in!

Ok - here it is: Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks. Monster song, at their very heaviest Blues Rock/Hard Rock best. Prepare to be carried away on the onslaught. Not metal , or speed metal, but HARD BLUES ROCK with the best driving beat, soaring harmonica and guitar, thunderous bass that REALY kicks in at the end, even higher level that the first part of the song. Drum licks have been sampled widely in hip hop over the years but THIS is the origin!

Also, one movie that I can think of off the top of my head that has a great 70's soundtrack is "Dazed and Confused". Have you ever seen that movie, Cliff?

every member of that band was top 3 EVER at what they did!, they had nbo stand out member, they were ALL that good!!! no other band got close to that consistent talent! they had unmatched chemistry together too

They used to sell out stadiums with no opening act and then play for 3 hours. Glad I was born in time to see them and the other greats back then.

The rock back in the day singers had to know how to sing, no auto tune to try to correct a musicians voice like today. I find today that singers can't sing a tune in a bucket without auto tune. We had the real deal growing up. Raw talent. Many played several instruments and wrote there own music. It was a much cooler time for teen agers. We had crowds the size of football fields, 50-60thousand people and didn't have big problems. We were all there ti have a good time, we were busy dancing, singing, rockin, maybe a little smoke and we definitely snuck in alcohol. It was a different America back then and I'm so happy that I was a part of it. Great memories. Day on the Green. Glad you enjoyed!

Greatest rabbit hole ever created you've done two songs you only have a hundred and six more to go! trust me you want to follow this track! Google how many times led Zeppelin tracks have been sampled by the hip-hop community

I'm fairly sure that it is still the case, but at one point, they were the most sampled band in the world.

The stereo music of the 60's and 70's really used production creatively, the positioning of instruments and vocals was as much a part of the arrangement and total experience. In the very early days most released stuff was a mono mix, because the public only had mono radios and TVs, stereo was the preserve of classical and jazz albums, and even considered as very niche and a gimmick that might fade. As the pop and rock eras developed and stereo record players became affordable for most folks, the artists and the studios responded. So much of contemporary music has been so centrally mixed it may as well be mono, you just don't get much of that panoramic widescreen production. Another thing about those early decades is the experimentation and individuality of artists, and the variety within their music, never wanting to repeat any formula and constantly progressing their skills and influences. For bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or The Beatles for example, you need to hear dozens of their tracks to even get a glimpse of the mix of styles they could produce.

Yeap, that voice has been giving me the chills for 50+ years!

I was 2nd row center at the Honolulu International Center for Zed Zeppelin, and the bass notes from "Whole Lotta Love" would actually move your hair and clothing. Seeing them live from 20 feet away for a 3 hour concert was completely incredible. That was 1969, and we saw Janis Joplin, Hendrix, The Doors, Santana, Quicksilver, Jethro Tull, Linda Ronstadt, and a dozen more classic rock bands live. What a time to be alive!

In Southern culture, the phrase "back-door man" refers to a man having an affair with a married woman, using the back door as an exit before the husband comes home. Dixon's lyrics include: When everybody trying to sleep. I'm somewhere making my midnight creep.

Deep hole for Led zeppelin-Rock and Roll, Black Dog, Living Loving Maid, Misty Mountain Hop and Stairway To Heaven to start.

So honestly, does rap give you chills and touch your soul? There really isn't any comparison. Zep was real musicians playing their own instruments with no autotune. Music really united us back then and every band was good, although none could touch Zeppelin. You owe it to yourself to go through their catalogue.

I'm 70 years old. I saw Zep in 1969 when this song and album were released. I can confirm that we had the best music and bands back then. I love it when younger people discover the greatest rock band ever, Led Zep. You didn't mention how Bonzo kicked ass in this song. He was the greatest rock drummer of all time! BTW, in the movie Blow, when Johnny Depp walks through that airport to Black Betty, it makes the whole movie! I love it!

My favorite Zeppelin song. Head phones are definitely a must for this song.

Back door man is a reference to her secret lover who sneaks in and out through the back door.

So back in THOSE DAYS the future of super groups emerging was so diverse imagine hearing Led Zeppelin , Pink Floyd , Queen , Rush , Fleetwood Mac , Bee Gees , Journey , all these yet all so different sounding and not like the Beatles or Rolling stones. We old guys and gals were having the best of times . So many other groups to mention but I'll let the comments take it from here.

About 20 years ago, it dawned on me that the instrumentation, the music part, perfectly depicts the various stages my big anxiety attacks go through. I don't get them like that anymore👍

Led Zeppelin and Ren are my two favorite artists. Check out "Achille' Last Stand" by Led Zeppelin. I used to work with a rapper who'd rap over that song and every song from the album it's from. RIP Demarco Traynum.

It is so funny that so many people know nothing about Led Zeppelin and they were the biggest selling group in the 70's and considered the second most influential band of all time after the Beatles. The broke up in 1980 when the drummer drank 40 shots of Vodka at Jimmy Page's house, threw up and suffocated on his vomit. Now thats a rock star. LOL. They broke all of the Beatles attendance records as well. They are one of the top selling rock bands of all time. Led Zeppelin is the group that forced the record companies to stop taking almost all of the money from the groups and give the groups a much bigger share of the pie. Zeppelin is also the group almost every future group copied their rock style from. From the way they dressed, played and the wild stuff they did while on tour, almost every band tried to copy them in someway. Even some rap music and other genres sample their music for their songs. Especially their drums. Jimmy Page the guitarists was a top 3 player of all time but he was a genius in the studio as he did most of the engineering for Zeppelin's music. Not many Zeppelin songs were in movies or commercials until the late 90's early 2000's. Jimmy Page blocked them from using them. He even wouldn't let Guitar Hero and Rock Band use the songs either. He felt that the kids playing the game should pick up a real guitar instead. But The Immigrant Song was used in Shrek 3, One of the Thor's and The School of Rock. Other songs pop up here and there and Kashmir, was redone over by P Diddy (come with me) for the Godzilla Sound Track with Page cameoing on it. Oh, "That 70's Show" named every episode of I think the 5th season after a Zeppelin song. Another show did the same thing too about 10 years after that. The other show was a end of the world survival type show I think on NBC. It wasn't bad but only ran about two seasons. Dam, forgot the name of it. Whats really weird to me though is that growing up in the 70's, we considered music from the 50's as oldies. And that was only 15- 20 years earlier. But this song is over 50 years old now. And by the way, Iron Maiden was one of those groups influenced by Zeppelin.

Oh your face mate. This is what I grew up with , and the first band I ever saw live. This is one of my fave zep tracks

The legends.❤ You MUST listen to "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"

Led Zeppelin is the best band in rock history. Do BABE I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU!

I don't know how you can hear music this good and continue making hip hop records.

Baby I'm gonna leave you"..Zeppelin #1

Led zeppelin songs to do next? When the Levee Breaks or in my Time of Dying

"Back Door Man" was a lyric common in old blues songs, meaning the guy who sneaks in the back door to see your woman when you're not home. Singer Robert Plant threw blues phrases in a lot of early Zeppelin.

Black Sabbath War Pigs . Paris 1970 live Bill Ward on the drums is next level 💯🤘

Get the Led out :D Seeing Robert Plant tonight!! So excited

"Backdoor man" back then didn't have the same connotation that it does today. Back then it referred to an affair. The person would sneak in the backdoor so no one would see them.

LOL! Okay, listen ... Led Zeppelin were heavy into American Blues. Being a 'back door man' means going out of the back door of the house when the woman's husband, boyfriend walked in the front door, usually from working 10 - 12 hours a day to keep the woman in material things. It means being in a relationship and having another man on the side. In their song "Since I've Been Loving You", there is a line where Robert sings, "I open my front door, hear my backdoor slam." I do realize that there is another meaning for that phrase, but that's not how they mean it in their songs. :)

You need to go down the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. Start with the Led Zeppelin One album and go on a journey. There are hordes of people who come from hip-hop who end up being LZ's biggest fans!

And god said let there be Rock .....And Zepplin came.......And all was good with the world.

I grew up in the 70s, lots of good music. Zeppelin, Stones, Aerosmith, CCR, AC DC,

I grew up with this music. I graduated in 1979. It’s fun to see you guys expressions. Made so much love to this and smoke so much smoke

Apples to oranges. Rock is instruments and voice/ rap is lyrical poetry.

That's nothing compared to seeing the live performances, You have never seen a band gel so well, Dazed & confused live from MSG is a total masterpiece IMO & Jimmy Page's guitar solo has to be seen to be believed.

I’m glad to see a younger southsider finding Led Zeppelin.

I saw Led Zeppelin in 1971-2 in San Bernadino, CA.

These guys were in the stone age of recording technology inventing techniques as they went along . It is historically important for young artists to know that this band is responsible for artists making the money they were due , They had an honest behemoth of a manager named peter grant (very imposing man) and turned the tables on the promoters that used to make all the money and giving crumbs to the acts . These guys changed all of that .

Brilliant Led Zep keep playing, Kashmir best track

You appreciate Zeppelin......I return the favor and subscribe. The music I grew up with was epic. Did not even know how much to appreciate it back then.......and its only gotten better with age. Timless.

Many, many rap songs have sampled rock sings, and many have used Led Zeppelin specifically. Google just the Led Zeppelin ones, it'll blow your mind, but there are endless rock samples for rap's biggest artists. So yes, it benefits you to listen to rock music for sure.

Cliff, you're doing a service by keeping this amazing music alive. People your age are woefully undereducated on the classic rock from the 60's and 70's and videos like this help the younger viewers interested. You have my subscription now, please keep doing these types of reactions. Suggestion would be to start simple with a straight rocker like Rock and Roll (yes, that's the name of the song. Pretty gutsy, huh?) Then try an early bluesy song like When the Levee Breaks. Then hit my favorite, In My Time of Dying.

When you grew up during the 1960s and 1970s you listened to all kind of music.

“I’m probably one of them” - I’m watching this at 2:30 in the morning and I laughed so loud I think I woke up my neighbors

There was a lot more heart & soul in music in those days. Even though there was a lot of drugs during that time, people put in much more of their soul when they recorded & performed. We so had the best music in those days.

Greatest band ever...man you so have to watch the Kennedy Center Honors of Led Zeppelin..it's like 22 minutes..please do

Back Door Man means he's the Man she cheats with. In other words Her Man goes out the front door to work and he comes in the back.

Great song but this is actually 45 seconds shorter than the original studio version. I recommend listening to it if you want to hear more of Page's production genius. Edit: Yeah, the more you listen to Zeppelin, the more you'll recognize when their songs have been used in movies, as well as when they've been sampled, which has been quite a bit.

I I was 8 but had 5 brothers Grew up on the best rock and roll

Robert Plant GOAT Vocalist, Jimmy Page GOAT Guitarist, John Bonham GOAT Drummer, John Paul Jones GOAT Bassist/Keyboardist. One of THE Greatest bands of all time.

Check out "When The Levee Breaks"....since you did that one, "The Ocean" is pretty killer

Page was a briliant producer. Jones a brilliant arranger. Bonham and Plant were just outright freaks of nature. You should really have started with Led Zep 1, first track. But thats ok. You're here now 👍

It sounds intimate because they were all musicians who actually created and played it themselves.

Led Zeppelin were together and had albums from 1969 to 1980 when their drummer died. They thought is was best to dissolve the band when John Bonham died. They felt no one could replace him. Us fans agree. The only drummer that could is his son Jason. If you ever react to Stairway to Heaven, make sure to also react to Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. It is sung by the girls from the rock band heart (Ann Wilson - singer and Nancy Wilson - guitar) The guys in the band didn't know John's son Jason is playing the drums on this performance. Jason and the choir are wearing Bowler hats because that was John's trademark hat. When the camera zooms in on Jason toward the end and looks up, he's looking at his father John in Heaven.

"I'm probably one of them", LOL!

You made me laugh. I appreciate you appreciating this. I just added you. Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time

"Back Door Man" ... many old blues references - such as the song by Willie Dixon, 1960, recorded by Howlin' Wolf -- lover sneaking out the back door so as not to be caught by the husband Or, this variant: Allman Bros., One Way Out - slipping out the window because the other man is at the door.

I subscribe after three Zeppelin videos, good show!

There is a great cover of this song by an obscure band called Dread Zepellin. They do Zep songs in a reggae style sung by an Elvis impersonator. Oddly, it completely works. It's a fun listen.

I was born in 1963 and Led Zeppelin was so popular when I was in High School. They are still touring. Love Robert Plant's voice!!! All of the musicians in that band are top notch!

You Shook me Babe..Zeppelin #1

Being from the south side of Chicago You may wanna check out music from Raymond Daniel Manczarek Jr. as also born and raised on the SOUTH Side of Chicago, graduating from St. Rita High School and at DePaul University and CO Founder of THE DOORS!............

From Led Zeppelin II released in October 1969.

“Back door man” means a wife’s lover! Yes you should check out more rock music. I would highly recommend you listen to Led Zeppelin’s first album and check out the blues mixed in with that rude guitar Page lays. Prince also did a version of this song and it’s great! Thank you!

Think this maybe a slightly shorter version ….. still a banging track….

❤😊Thanks for the real music.

Robert Plant is still singing and planning a tour with Alison Krauss in 2023. (27 Grammys) Try their Gone, Gone, Gone.

Led Zeppelin -Trampled Underfoot. They funked out too! Thank me later.

The original Whole Lotta Love soundtrack was used recently in the latest Dungeons and Dragons promo clip. Check it out. It’s awesome👍

THE HAMMER OF THE GODS-LED ZEPPELIN 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Love you brother. Thanks for what you do. I struggle with addiction. Obviously Cliff... You're loved and you're 1 of The Good Lords Warriors. God is great and God is good... Amen

Greatest band ever!
