Nothing makes an original Zeppelin fan happier then seeing a new generation discover why we loved Zeppelin from the first album. "Who was your inspiration ?" - response "Led Zeppelin" - says every band since.

Apart from Shrek III, Led Zeppelin originally denied Richard Linklater permission to use "Immigrant Song" in School of Rock, but star Jack Black was able to convince them by making a video of himself performing the song. A cover of "Immigrant Song", produced by Atticus Ross and Nine Inch Nails member Trent Reznor with vocals from Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O, plays in the trailer and throughout the title sequence of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. "Immigrant Song" was included in both the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok and twice in the film itself. Ref from Wikipedia.

The “keyboard” sound on Friends was an actual string section arranged by John Paul Jones. It’s well known that Page was an accomplished session musician, but what is less known is that JPJ was a gifted session musician and arranger in his own right and as a multi-instrumentalist he added an abundance of diversified color to their music the importance of which cannot be overstated.

Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973), unbelievable performance

Since I've Been Loving You. I totally understand your reaction. The first time I heard it 50 years ago, I was just as flabbergasted as you are. I could not pick up my jaw off the floor. The raw intensity of it is overwhelming. One of the best blues ever written by LZ, and in fact, one of the best ever written, period. BTW, the bass on this song is John Paul Jones playing the Hammond bass pedals at the same time he's playing the organ itself. He used to play the organ in church for a few quid when he was a youngster. That's how he bought his first bass. When people talk about Zeppelin, it's usually about Page, Plant and Bonham, because all three were so flamboyant. JPJ was the quiet one, and hence so underrated, but the man was a genius. Such an accomplished musician. Not only was he rock solid on bass, but also a multi-instrumentalist and an outstanding arranger.

You seem to have a natural talent for the production of the songs. Given your love for music I can see you as a musician, producer, sound engineer or all of the above if you so desire. You have become my favorite reactor because of the pure joy for the music in your reactions. There's so much more to find! Have fun exploring 😊.

How times change. When this album came out it was not highly praised and was considered one of the least memorable LZ albums. Now 50 plus years later it is considered one of the best.

Every song on the album is great, even the ones that would not get airplay, like "Friends", for instance. 4 master musicians making incredible music.

I saw Led Zeppelin three times in Seattle when I was a youth in my teens 1968 when I was 15 1973 and 1975 they’ve always been my most favorite band and they are the Kings of hardrock

I swear to God Jimmy Page is a friggin alien! How the hell can he jam nonstop like that! Robert Plant with a killer vocal performance and a super tight rhythm section. It's no wonder Zeppelin stood the test of time.👍👍❤

Verdy I love the expression on your face when you have that moment of recognition about a song. Not quite the reaction to Go Your Own Way was but still charming. First time I have ever seen anyone associate Led Zeppelin with Shrek a subtle reminder of our age difference

Immigrant Song was also in Thor: Ragnarok, as well as School of Rock.

You are one of my favorite music reactors cause you actually pay close attention to what’s happening in the song. You even made a comment on the first LZ album on a specific sound that I hadn’t paid attention until you said it, even when I’d heard that album a thousand times before hahahah

Since I've Been Loving You one of Led Zeps greatest songs. Shows the whole band at their absolute best!

Nothing like having that 1st experience of listening to Zep 3. Man it blew my socks off...Since I've been loving you, is my Led Zep favorite. Plant gives you chills with his vocals. Page makes you weep with his incredible guitar solo. The 2nd side of the album is also so good. Enjoy!!

They're truly something, aren't they Verdi? You're listening to four of the most creative musicians ever assembled ... keep it going youngins!

I can’t help but smile when I see someone who appreciates music listening to LZ for the first time. Especially a young person. I’m kind of jealous that you are getting to hear all these for the first time. Enjoy. There are a whole lot more to experience!!!

Your reaction to "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of the best I've ever seen. Honestly brought a tear to my eye 💜

Zep III really a diamond in the rough. Just epic. (Well Zep fans already know it's great!) Don't worry about the lyrics the first go around! So cool to see the younger gen discovering and just grovin to Pages raucous riffing, Jonesy's bludgeoning bass lines, Bonzo's explosive drums, and Robert's vociferous vocals!

This band moves you more than any other band you have done ! I will say it again ! That Greatest Band Ever Was !

I truly enjoy it every time you say, "Guitar." And that's not a knock on your English. Your English is excellent and far superior to my French. But I like the way you say guitar. :)

Shrek Rocks!! "The greatest thing you ever can do now, trade a Smile with someone who's blue now, it's very easy", "Her face is cracked from Smiling". Thanks for making me Smile!

Since I've been loving you!!!!!the ultimate guitar song and Robert Plant gives it like no blues singer ever did ,I feel he is the greatest heavy rock and blues singer of all time ,he's the best!!!!song makes me weep every time!!!

Zep's like Shakespeare, they'll pop up all over the place in popular culture for years to come.

On sibly Jimmy turned up plugged a guitar into an amp he'd never even seen before, didn't even check any settings then ripped out THIS improvised solo 1st go in 1 take!!! The engineer who recorded it said its the best solo he's ever heard in his life!

Since I've been loving you is one of the best rock songs ever recorded. The guitar solo is mesmerizing.

My favourite album. I was in my first relationship when it came out. Never left my turntable for 6 months, just flipped it and flipped it again. Great days that we will never see again

Every time I listen to Since I've Been Loving You I start shedding tears like a baby and along with The Rain Song they are my two favorite LZ songs and they always choke me up

I'm really enjoying your journey thru Led Zeppelin.. The Best is yet to come.. Enjoy

Immigrant Song in 1970 at age 5 mesmerized me. I am now 57 - a grandmother and a life long drummer - Bonzo entranced me.

Jimmy Page is the master of multiple guitar tracks, weaving different tunings within his productions. A true guitar wizard. Thanks Verdy!

Or if you just want a treat Led Zeppelin, Since I've Been Loving You - Live at Madison Square Gardens 1973😉

Excellent! Immigrant Song you recognize; it was also in the Thor Ragnarok movie. Robert wrote it while on tour in Iceland. Friends is in an open guitar tuning to help it resemble a sitar and they had a session musician play tabla. Friends has a droning sound at the end as it goes into Celebration Day because Celebration Day was originally going to start with drums, but somehow they got erased so they just extended the drone sound from Friends into it instead of trying to re-record the drums. Robert said the inspiration for Celebration Day was the City of New York. Since I've Loving You is an outstanding, emotional blues song. That fantastic guitar solo was recorded in one take! Jimmy got the title and melody inspiration for Out On The Tiles from John Bonham. It was a drinking song he used to occasionally sing, part of it which went "I've had a pint of bitter and now I'm feeling better and I'm going out on the tiles". You do great reactions and I'm looking forward to the next half.

I loved this album .... especially the acoustic based songs starting with "Gallows Pole" "That's the Way" Tangerine"

The first 5 Led albums may be the greatest series of albums in history....

I get so emotional seeing the younger generation falling in love with Led Zeppelin's catalog...I Can't say if it's going to continue to get better and better for you after the third album, but, I will say that you have many more discoveries to come! Thank you for this......

One of my all time favourite albums and one that proved Led Zep's ability to compose and play outside of just the Rock and Blues genres. Robert Plant of whom you, quite rightly in my view, said "That voice!" was just a couple of months past his 22nd birthday when this was released - a phenomenal talent, the undoubted king of the stage and still the yardstick by which Rock/Blues frontmen are judged, he's been often imitated but never surpassed. Your choice, and reaction to, the albums of my teenage years is exceptional - your reaction is not that much different to mine at the time (is a vicarious observation but deeply satisfying) . Keep going young lady, it's both moving and inspirational to watch you discover these marvellous bands that I've known all of my life.

This was my very first album ever. I was told to buy LZ4 but they were all out and i liked the way the cover to 3 looked so i bought it instead and can honestly say i like it better than 4! Every song so unique you cant help but air drum and guitar!

Such an amazing band. The way each member plays off each other is incredible. Truly a team.

I always thought The Immigrant Song was too darn short!

At some point, you'll appreciate circling back and hearing live versions of all these great Zep tracks....that is a deep rabbit hole, and a whole other world.

You’re going to hit 17,000 soon. CONGRATS!

I was shy and extremely self conscious when I was in high school, 69-73 but, listening to Led Zeppelin would break me out of my shell.

When Plant shouts, "JUST ONE MORE" (@23:32)on "Since IBLY" gives this old timer goosebumps, still! I'd say along w/ Stairway/Levee breaks/Kashmir/In my time of Dying, THEE BEST LZ TUNES EVER, and that is really saying something. I LOVE Drugs, women and SIBLY and not necessarily in that order.

"Since I've Been Loving You" is my favorite "blues" song by LZ. Simply superior!

If your a Marvel fan.. “Immigrant Song” is basically Thor’s theme song in Thor: Ragnarok

Yes! I like how you are doing the LZ albums in the sequence they were released. What an incredible journey, and you're just getting started!

I think watching and hearing their evolution of music quality , and the way they grew as musicians was half the joy.😊

Back when albums were works of art as well. The album had a wheel that you would turn and back in the 70's this was pretty cool.

It is fantastic seeing you enjoying yourself listening to this Zep album. We (brother, sister and I) listened to this album a gazillion times. This is my favorite Zep because it has hard rock, blues and acoustic all throughout the album. Sooo glad you are getting into this....side 2 next...yea!! Keep up the good fun you are doing Great!

Immigrant Song was not only in Shrek, it featured prominently in the movie THOR: Ragnarok.

Your reaction to Since I've Been Loving you is the same reaction I have to this day, and I heard it for the first time about 45 years ago...the whole album is great, but that song is an absolute power blues masterpiece. It's Zep at the top of their game. Keep up your great content!

Hope you do all the Zeppelin albums. Can't wait til you get to Physical Graffiti, their best imo.👍

I'm 60... none of my friends are into Led Zep, I always listen to this album on my own... it's awesome to have someone to share it with... just to listen and enjoy it... looking forward to Side 2...

Hi miss Verdy, that moment in these first 3 zeppelin albums when Jimmy Page hits you with shock & awe! That's exactly what we all did back in the 70's. We're all reliving those moments watching your reactions so thank you for that! 👴👍😉 on a side note, you really, really, really should watch the movie the song remains the same to see these 4 masters of music in action! 🧙‍♂️🇺🇸🦅

If you know an older person that has the actual record the cover was amazing. It had a pinwheel that you can turn.

I love that you have such true excitement with each new experience in music…You your joy is a gift…

To me, Led Zeppelin are the Beatles of the 70s. They didn't shy away from every genre of music they could get their hands on and also nailed it, improved it and left it behind for other bands to learn it. As with the Beatles, they have no single bad song. And like the Beatles, they broke up too early. And they lost one member in a tragic way that shouldn't have happened...

You had me at LZ III, my first album, 45 yrs ago. Great to see you enjoy it, too!

Great job again, VERDY, you never disappoint with your reactions!! In all honesty this is not my favourite side of music from LZ, though the sheer brilliance of "Since I've Been Loving You" stands out to this day. One of their best songs, period. Looking forward to side 2!

In the song 'Friends' the haunting sounds you hear are cello and violin played by JPJ... The Moog keyboard joins at the end.

"Since I've Been Loving You" is a modified version of '12 Bar Blues', a type of music progression that came from blues and jazz. Led Zep is, to me, Rock and Roll at it's apex. Four absolute masters just killing it.

Yeeeah so glad you're back to Zeppelin

I knew you would love "Since I've been loving you" ! Personally, that's my favorite Led Zeppelin song since I was about your age more than 50 years ago ! What you're doing is simply bringing us more than 50 years ago, rediscovering Led Zeppelin for the first time all over again ! Don't change, continue exploring music, you're in for a treat !

You're awesome Verdy!

Can you imagine Plant was only in his very early 20s when he recorded Since I've Been Loving You, one of the most powerful blues tracks ever! I heard it for the first time when I was the same age (only decades later) and since then it still is one of my absolute fav Zep tracks. And I already was looking forward to your reaction to it - I didn't get disappointed - you are indeed the coolest reaction videos person. ZZ III was heavily critizised by fans and critics alike because apart from the above mentioned song they derived from their blues-rock roots and went into more accoustic folk rock/world music. Nowadays this album is regarded as the zenit of their work together with IV.

You got a great side 2 coming up. Gallows Pole & That's the Way are 2 of the greatest Zeppelin songs.

The way bands used to 'cheat' before digital editing, virtual instruments and auto tune was to bring in session musicians: professionals who were just so proficient that they'd make any song sound better. Often they would go uncredited. Jimmy Page (guitar) and John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards) spent years as session players before forming Led Zeppelin

Not surprising that many people who haven't heard LZ can identify the scream at the beginning of The Immigrant song. It's because LZ always have a rif or something that sticks in your mind. Once heard you never forget their songs. Unforgettable brilliant Led Zeppelin.

I’m really enjoying how you’re letting these songs play out a little more without interruption, mostly because your first time experience will be better. And the volume level difference between you and the music has narrowed. There’s still a high pitch humming/buzzing during the pauses, FYI.

I am glad you finally chose to listen to the first half of the great Led Zeppelin 3. You remind us when we were young how we react to Led Zeppelin 3. Thank You 😎👍✌️

Sitting here smiling at my phone screen ☺️ love your reaction

Cant wait til you get to Houses of the Holy. That's a KILLER Led Zeppelin album and my very 1st one I bought in 1975. I was hooked on Mr Daily Doug for awhile. I still watch him occasionally. But I enjoy your reactions more, because you really just absorb the music and enjoy it, instead of talking too much and over-analyzing it. THANK YOU Verdy, because you are helping me rekindle my Love for many albums I burned myself out on from too many repeated listenings 🥴

Excellent reaction - you definitely get it, music this old, still this good......good to see it translate so many years later. They were light years ahead of everyone else at the time. You reaction proves it.

Thanks for not skipping. Fine reaction thx

I’ve been waiting for this for a while Verdy you are going to love it

Hello from California! You might want to check out the Zeppelin song “Going to California” Live at Earls Court, 1975.

Hammer of the Gods!

Been enjoying the analytical depth of Your perceptions ever since You began Reacting to Classic Rock. Have seen many of these Groups 'live' over the decades. It's SO refreshing to see 'fresh ears' genuinely appreciate the detail that captured these now 'old ears' all those decades ago (eg. Zeps 'since I've been loving you'). Verdy is my favourite Reaction Channel by far.

Awesome as usual! Can't wait for side 2. 😽

lovely to watch this review. the sheer enjoyment of you listening to these songs leaves me wishing you many more to listen to !

Hi Verdy, great reaction girl! You must see "Since I've Been Loving You" live from Madison Square Garden, 1973 amazing Performance! Keep rocking girl, thank you! 🤘🏻

LZ's folk and blues rock album, one of their greatest!

Verdy you are so awesome in how much you love all the details and sounds you here and then play them with your little air guitar motions.....Love It

Great Verdy. LZ I-V were spinning nice on our turn tables, now on yours 💥🔥

Its amazing watching old concert footage of them playing these songs live. Even though these studio albums used lots of overdubs (which why you can hear more than the three instruments i.e two guitars) they still sounded great live.

I love these songs and seeing someone hear them for the first time is the best, can't wait for IV, physical graffiti, houses of the holy, please keep going girl

I can't wait to see Your Reaction to Led Zeppelin IV! ☺️ I Enjoy Your reactios a Lot.. By The Way have You Ever listened Emerson, Lake & Palmer?

Your joy is infectious. I found myself subscribing even though I've already subscribed to too many channels.

Not Rachel -- you're amazing!!! :-)

Rachael, you definetly need a Zeppelin shirt!

I love watching your reactions to Led Zep videos. Great to see young people into Led Zeppelin. Even after only three albums I am sure you’ve by now learned what sets this band apart from all others. I sincerely hope you will find your way through their entire catalog with traction videos. It is so much fun seeing people “get” what it is about that band. And yes - I am 52, discovered LZ just a few years after their demise. Still my favorite band - as you said so so good. Keep going with them. You are in for some real treats. All the best to you young lady

My favorite zeppelin album. Thanks verdy!😮

This is such a great album. It really shows the musicianship of each member. I love how you pick up on JPJ's base lines in every song. You seem to have quite an exceptional ear for music. Keep them coming

Saturday morning awakening with another Verdy reaction to an amazing album, couldn't be better.

Rachael, for just yourself, you NEED to check out the live version of Since I've Been Loving You! Of The Song Remains The Same (TSRTS) Album. It is simply the greatest Blues rock song ever! You will blow your mind! Believe it! The rabbitt hole just gets deeper Dorothy!

Just to let you know.... Genesis, Led Zeppelin and Yes, belong to another galaxy, the rest is the rest in this world ;)

I love the way you really get the music. Well done

I love watching you youngsters enjoy the music that I grew with. I'm new to your channel and you do a really fine job. Let your curiosity take you on your musical. Keep up the good work. Zeppelin is my all time favorite group next to the Beatles. Rock on, classic rock will never die. I love this album. I was 15 when this was released, it's good evidence of their progression.

This is a masterpiece. The production, the music, all the of styles of playing and mood changing, make this one of their best.
