led zep is the best rock band period.

You are the first reactor that realized that they talk to each other while playing. This was their magic. They always did this. This is why they're magic. A true group .

Once upon a time the 4 most talented people on the good earth got together n formed a band. Its never gonna happen again

We kind of never talk about John Paul Jones, but this is perfect example of why Zep isn't Zep without him. This is tasty, patient and powerful bass playing.

Led zeppelin is the best. 4 of the greatest musicians ever assembled

Bonham is killing the drums on this track...

so many perfect Led Zep songs, but this one is tragically underrated

John Paul Jones is genius....any instrument you hear that isn't guitar or drums on any Zep tune is being played by him... and him and Bonham live during Pages solo/jams is straight up phenomenal.. wouldnt be Zeppelin without any one of them.

It still blows my mind so many millions / maybe 1 billion+ haven’t heard Zeppelins music before. I’m glad.., because their reaction is priceless 😂

JPJ is probably the best musician in the group. He was humble enough to let the other three shine at their strengths and fill in whatever was necessary to complete their sound.

John Paul Jones also plays piano, organ, synthesizer, mandolin, and is an amazing arranger. Like in Kashmir, that isn't an orchestra that is JPJ playing a Melton (an early synthesizer that sounds like strings), and he wrote those parts. He is the sometimes unsung genius. Secret weapon. They are all insanely good at what they do.

Their diversity is staggering: rock(Dazed & Confused), blues(Tea for One), folk(Babe I’m Gonna Leave You), acoustic (Thank You) ballads(Rain Song), funk(Trampled Underfoot), middle eastern (Kashmir), epic 11 minute opus’ (Achilles Last Stand), mystical (Ramble On) , etc.,etc., etc.

Best rock band ever.....PERIOD.

Zep was the master of dynamics. They'll take you down a slow smooth road, and then triple the tempo with a major punch in the face. This song, case in point.

The crescendo in this song is just sick. Otherworldly. Like no other song. Epic, epic! Great reaction!

Given your affection for Beastie Boys, check out Led Zeppelin' s When the Levee Breaks.

Every time a new album came out I was suprised. You never knew where they were comin atcha from. Their creativity was boundless.

I’ve read that JPJ used a fretless bass for this so he could slide as smoothly as Jimmy was with his slide guitar. The live version of this from Earl’s Court in 1975 is really good.

My favorite band of all time. They are the masters of all music trades and the jacks of none.

These 4 had such talent and played so well together. Unlike other bands, there was no egos clashing, and they actually 'fed' off each other, taking turns and following, then leading. They were so in sync with each other musically that when John Bonham passed, they knew they couldn't get the 'magic' with someone else.

Achilles Last Stand Battle of Evermore Nobody's Fault but Mine The Ocean Going to California Trampled Under Foot Since I've been Loving You

So, Van, you've now joined your daughter Naia in becoming a Zep head! Good for you. This is a Blind Willie Johnson tune, but augmented by bits from 9 or 10 other old blues belters. Robert and Jimmy were both blues freaks in England (there are lots, you know)- JPJ was more classical/ pop; Bonzo was a jazz drummer til Robert convinced him to join Robert's prior band: Band of Joy. Jimmy and Robert frequently do those call and response efforts, and they always try to fool the other, then laugh and laugh! Check out 'You Shook Me' for a great example. btw Robert plays killer harmonica, and JPJ plays keys, guitar, mandolin (and probably more) as well as bass. And Jimmy did the production wizardry (he and JP were big time session musicians in London and got to know ALL the tricks). btw, Naia is crushing on Robert...

"Hey Hey what can I Do" is the LED Zeppelin song noone reacts to.

💕 ZEPPLIN,since The Beginning, You will 💕 them Too!

Really enjoyed this reaction! This song is a heavy metal gospel march. We are marching on this to the battle field for our Lord! And when the music stops and Robert Plant tells out, "Oh, my Jesus!"...that takes me to church every time! I love how the song changes time signatures from heavy to funky to the most triumphant arena rock stride anyone has ever heard. That's what people sometimes forget, this band was heavy but funky! And every part played by every member of the group fits in perfectly, from Jimmy Page's slide guitar riffs to Robert Plant wailing, "Ooohwhooooaaaahhh! Yeah, yeah!" To Jonesy holding down a steady, counterpoint on the bass and Bonzo switching up the drum beats from metal march to a dance rhythm. There's a live video of Zep playing this at Earl's Court in 1975 that is simply amazing. Also, I would be remiss if I didnt recommend my favorite Led Zeppelin song, How Many More Times; you gotta check that out, especially if you find a live version of it!

Love jimmy and john bonham playing off each other like a friendly competition between 2 of the greatest musicians of all time

Damm, Such a cool outfit & heartfelt thanks for shouting out Bro 🤩✌️ All best wishes

That’s called a call and response when you start talking to each other thru the music.

I am 70 yrs old and glad to see a young man dig the music from my era. I love your reaction. Believe me when i first heard this it blew me away. You got a new fan

It's like God Almighty put these four guys together and told them to make a band. Can't get enough of Led Zeppelin, not now not ever.

Enjoy the ride Try The Rain Song live

in my time of dying live earls court 1975

John Bonham on drums and Jimmy Page on lead guitar= pure magic

Already know what your reaction is gonna be, before you even start the song. . . . . . . . YUP, there it is . . . . .

I love how, in every single zeppelin reaction video by anyone, the reactor immediately notices the completely insane genius talent of John Bonham

John Paul Jones is one of the most underrated and under-appreciated musicians of all time.

Man, you have a great pair of ears. The fact that you could sing the opening vocal after listening to it only once is some amazing shit right there.

Best Rock Band Band To Ever Grace This Earth .

I remember when you did Whole Lotta Love. Now you know why everyone reacted as they did. I really appreciate that you gave them another chance. Love your reactions!

Oh If I could time machine to 69 and follow the zeppelin🔥

Jesus's love will be with us in our time of dying...One of the greatest bands of all time too...thank you for the review!

This is a version of a really old gospel song that has been covered many times, like Bob Dylan for instance.

This band once sold 7 million tickets in 2 hrs.

If you played bongos you have to check out Moby Dick live. John Bonham has a spectacular solo

The drumming on this track is off the charts....

As a Zep fan, I am so glad when other people discover them. And you are right - "smooth" is the correct word too describe this song. I think these lyrics are taken from an old gospel song. Your reaction and joy to their song really made me smile.

Great to see someone enjoying the best Led Zeppelin song ever. John Bonham killed it on the drums.

You will absolutely 💯% LOVE the live version: 1975 Earls Court. They played there over 5 nights. The longer version is the best. Great reaction!🤙🏽

What you are referring to is called " Call and Response ". The singer and guitarist go back and forth in a conversation. Top notch master class !!!!

Look up Sister Rosetta Tharpe Robert Plant in interview said what a big influence she was when she visited England her singing and guitar playing was incredible.

You do get their musicianship, welcome to the best set of musicians in a band...ever!!!

This is, dare I say my favorite L.Z. tune, if I would have to pick one with a gun to my head😂😎👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 plenty of great bands out there....but there is only one GOAT, AND IT IS LED ZEPPELIN!

An act of Universal magic occurred the day this band formed. I've never heard a LZ song I didn't love

They kept the Blues alive!

The drumming in this song is insane!!!!

One word for this song "MASTERPIECE " love your reaction.

Greatest band ever brother!

Need to listen to Dyer maker

Pretty sure I speak for everyone here, your Led Zeppelin reactions are fukn 🔥. You don't miss shit and your enthusiasm is an 11. Zep unites us all brother. They were singing for everyone. And you feel that

Some people use their voices like musical instruments. And some people can turn their instruments into their voices. Led Zeppelin we masters of the later. They could make you feel loved with a riff or break your heart with a single lyric. So amazing to see you reacting to these masters of the musical arts.

Those special little hearts you throw out at comments mean everything.

Check out their other Blind Willie Johnson remake of Nobody’s Fault but Mine. Another gospel power house performance.

Came home late one night in 76 14 yrs old right age lol .. My father was listening music & said you want too hear a great album ... well well well I been hooked ever since

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Led Zeppelin has a massive catalog! Since I've been loving you, Tea for One, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp,, when the Levee breaks..I can go on and on.Ylu can literally do entire albums.

I can see how much you appreciate and enjoy listening to Zeppelin. There is no other band like them and never will.

Oh I knew you'd live this one!! Yes this live is killer!!

This is one of their mind blowers. Their ballads are just as awesome.

Amazing! Over the Hills and Far Away, another great one. Kashmir also. And FYI: "In My Time of Dying" is a blues song that has been covered by many rock musicians since the early 1960s. The original recording was a traditional gospel song recorded by Blind Willie Johnson, titled "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed"

Bonzo at his absolute FINEST 💥💥💥

In My Time of Dying is like Zeppelin takin Rock, Blues, Funk ,and Soul to church at the same time ✌😎

They are the greatest band ever, anyone who doesn’t realize it, hasn’t really listened to enough of their songs.

The bass lines are insane (as always).

Kashmir, D'yer Mak'er, Over the hills and far away by Zeppelin. I saw Heart do Black Dog at a concert, 1980 I think...did it justice.

Love the air guitar :) Zeppelin is the best!

This song is a variation on a traditional folk spiritual that Zeppelin put their own distinctive spin on. A few other Zeppelin songs: "Trampled Underfoot" "Wanton Song" "Dancing Days" "D'yer Maker" "Achilles Last Stand"

I'm a Mexican who lived in east los angeles and everyone used to listen to oldies. I was 16 years old when I 1st heard these guys . I'm 68 years old now and still love listening to them. Seeing your reaction is seeing the reaction I had . Keep up the good work.

Don't apologize, Zeppelin IS the GOAT. You have great taste.

This is taken from an old blues song called “Jesus Make My Dying Bed”. Gotta do “In My Time Of Dying” live at Earls Court, 1975. R.I.P. John Bonham. btw, there is no “Georgina” in the song lyrics, I don't think.

I love it! You felt the same groove, incredible mind blowing performance also! Zeppelin is the best. No apologies needed! I think they did that live in the studio. Bonham saying at the end, “that’s the one , it’s gotta be the one!” WHOOO! What a performance

A fantastic song that not many react to is Fool in the Rain

mind blowing Gospel... takes you to Church

I felt the joy coming from you, thanks man, that is uplifting.

Also check out Hearts tribute to zeppelin at the Kennedy center.. bonhams son on drums..also a renowned drumner

You are not alone . Zeppelin is the favorite rock band of many many people. They are regarded as one, if not the biggest and rock band of all time. Nobody quite like them. So versatile, they could any anything

GOATS MY FRIEND

I find it impossible to find a better Zeppelin song than that performance.

Led Zeppelin: when the levee breaks studio version

YES! Led Zeppelin is the best.

Rocked to this in 1975 when I was stationed on Okinawa!

Led Zeppelin is the greatest of all bands ever. The rabbit hole is deep!

Never need a reason to dig good tunes. Led Zeppelin was great in 1969 and still great today. Enjoy my brother

I am thoroughly enjoying watching you discover Zeppelin; you're becoming an official Led-Head!

Great reaction man. I'm two years late to the party my man. John Bonham helped arrange the stops and starts and the time changes while they worked on it in their sessions to record it. There's a nice live pro shot video of this song released officially by the band. The film is from Earls Court on May 24th or 25th, 1975. You should watch them do this in concert man.

Hey Van, everybody know Zeppelin is the standard for all rock bands. No apology necessary......

Always watch the live versions when possible

One of their best rockers !!! They stopped playing this at their concerts after having a crash after closing a concert with this song.

My favorite Zeppelin song and with a catalog as good as theirs is hard to just pick one favorite but this is in my opinion a perfectly written and played song

the live version of this will take your face off.

His reaction to the funk/blues breakdown has got me laughing my ass off. He's digging it, as we all should be.
