Led Zeppelin isn’t just music, it’s an experience!

75 year old listener and longtime led zep lover. What a great song!

I love watching younger people discover their magic.

“That’s gotta be the take, right?” LOL Yeah maybe.

Old fart here: When I hear younger folks remark on a song’s length as a potential barrier, I think--I guess we just didn’t have so many compelling things competing for our attention back in the day. Things were simpler then. Makes my old-fart soul want to say: what’s wrong…you got somewhere you gotta be? 😹

Please dont ever forget John Paul Jones. He was just as influential as Page or more so in arangements and overall song structure, he wrote much of the actual music as well as mulit instrumentalist/vocalist. as well as one on the greatest pianist/organist, / guitarist. mandolin. banjo ...ect...

Physical Graffiti is one of the greatest and most unique albums ever made. Yes, Gospel and the Blues but with the hooks and riffs and drums of Rock and Roll.

Go down this rabbit hole…Led Zeppelin did not write a bad song, seriously…..ever.❤️🎼❤️

Live, one take, in the studio. The live version is astounding.

They literally made MAGIC! This live in 1975 is killer!! JPJ is really one with Bonham...watch them live. There would not be a Led Zeppelin without ANY ONE of them!!

Theres a reason this band was done after John Bonhams passing...the 4 of them created this magic called Led Zeppelin, they came together and created the greatest music to ever grace my ears. RIP JB ! And thank you Led Zep for blazin a musical trail that has yet to be matched.

This is a Master Piece of music on every level. So glad younger people are getting to hear such quality

It's almost as if it transcends music...and goes straight to the soul

This, for me, is the single greatest recording this band ever made. They were at the pinnacle of their fame and at the peak of their power as musicians and as a unit. I read they were dripping wet after that take.

The drums follow the guitar so well.

Led Zeppelin was the master of keeping you off center and utterly entranced.

John Paul Jones was right there with Jimmy on that fretless bass. All three musicians were going at together!

they recorded this live in the studio, THIS IS WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE!!!!!!!

its like a tale of two cities, they are all into themselves completely, but into the band completely

Watching Page do this live at Earl's Court from 1975 is beyond belief! Amazing performance if you get a chance to check it out.

Fastest 11 minutes of hard, gospel rock!

Growing up in the 70s we didn't know how good we had it. So much great music. I remember buying my first Zep album and every HS boy I knew had a guitar and tried to play Zep all day while we sat and lit one up. Many of LZs tunes ( like this one) are takes on very old blues/ gospel tunes. We didn't know that then. We just knew we were jammin our butts off and we loved it.

This is what happens when all the artists are Phenomenal.

I'm 67. I had the great good fortune to see them on the Physical Graffiti tour. I have had the opportunity to see many greats of the 60's and 70's live and to this day, that concert remains among the very best. When you're young, sheer enthusiasm carries you to opinions of what is "the best," which may not be rooted in reality. LZ struggled through much of their career for critical recognition, but the passage of years has proven them to be among, if not at the top of the great ones. Reactions from those who have never heard them, or weren't even alive when they were playing further prove the point. They will endure through time, undimmed.

Wow!!! Just wow!!! I am a follower of the messiah, and this song just pumped me up to the clouds!!!! Thx bro I need this!! I mean hey, it’s God and the GOATS of rock n roll, that’s a win win ¡

Check out the other Blind Willie Johnson cover that they did, Nobody’s Fault But Mine.

Zeppelin was with Atlantic, however after Zep's five-year contract with Atlantic was over, they worked out a deal with Atlantic to create their own label called Swan Song. Atlantic would still distribute the albums but the Swan Song label would allow Zep to have less interference from Atlantic over creative differences. It also allowed Zep to sign other artists to the Swan Song label. Swan Song was dissolved in 1983 after the band broke up. Physical Graffiti was the first Zep album issued on Swan Song and today, the label is strictly used for reissues of albums that were released by the label when it was active (so, from Physical Graffiti through Coda) except in 2012 the label was resurrected when Led Zeppelin released the live Celebration Day product of their 2007 one-off reunion concert.

I guess I'm old. But back then. So much good music being released all the time. I would be buying new LPS regularly. Now. I can't remember the last time I was excited about a released record.

Yo are reacting exactly like we did years ago when we first heard this stuff. Absolute game changer. Nobody had heard anything like this before. We played it over, and over, and over.

Lol. They knew they fucking nailed it. "That's gonna be the one" I wonder what take that was. Probably first. Beginning to end

This is why my son loves Led Zeppelin! He taught himself how to play the guitar 🎸 ☮️🔥

I love your enthusiasm for the music. I suggest the following for your next few reactions: “You Shook Me”, “Lemon Song”, “and “Bring It On Home “ from their first 2 albums. These 2 albums have a soft spot in my heart as I got them both when I was 13/14 years old.

@7:40, Page does this thing at the beginning of the slide solo where it sounds like a fader is adjusting the tone from deeper and wider to more trebly and distorted, in time to the slide of the guitar...One of my favorite parts of any Zeppelin recording...

This is why they are the Gods of Rock! New song? One take, no problem. There are no bad Led Zeppelin songs. The four of them together just were magic.

In 1987, I was 16. Led Zep had been broken up for years and I had never heard them. My friend Paul was a rocker and copied me all their albums onto cassettes. “I think you’ll like this band…”

My favorite Zeppelin song. That's a lot considering songs like Kashmir and When The Levee Breaks!

Got to listen to 2 songs thst were always played back to back live and studio versions, "The Song Remains the Same" and "The Rain Song". Greatest band of all time!!!

When LZ re-negotiated their deal w/ Atlantic they were given their own record label...Swan Song Records. Bad Co was their first signing.

Based on a traditional blues, as typical. :) I guess there’s Stairway, but I think of this and Rain Song as their true epic bangers. That syncopated drum riff when it kicks in (you’ll know when you hear it) is always when I lose it and can’t sit still. Follow the kick drum through this song. He’s making magic there.

I can imagine some kid playing this for the first time on a record and not knowing what he was about to hear because it probably didn’t get radio time. Probably blew a few minds

At the end you can hear Bonham ask if that was good enough! Over 11 minutes on one take... yeah, they were gifted!

Page loved him some southern blues. I don’t know how he acquired the rights to these songs but they made them masterpieces.

When hard rockers do gospel blues and I loved it! Just beautiful 👌

For another huge Zeppelin epic, with many more twists and turns and time changes, try 'Achilles Last Stand'.

MMBx really nailed the whole vibe of this tune,('I don't know what this is, but I love it') and basically that is BONHAM and PAGE (like many times before) just feed off one another... Jimmy will tell you or u can see for yourself how much Bonzo's playing moved/inspired Jimmy by listening or rather watching them LIVE and see how many times Bonham's playing is in synch w/ Jimmy's playing/body movements - Quite a sight to see 2 masters feeding off one another. Another fine example of Led Zeppelin at their best and the world knowing it!

Goose bumps every time I hear this song! What a groove…they took us to church!

“I don’t know what’s happening right now but I love it” We felt the same way hearing it when it was fresh so long ago.

Incredibly underrated song. It's kind of a standard, but nobody kicked you in the guts with it like LZ.

You gotta watch them do that live to see how Jimmy runs up and down the neck of that guitar playing both slide and finger at the same time.

"This is one of the most unique songs I've ever heard." You just described the collective work of Led Zeppelin.

Such a great deeper cut from the GOATS - one of my favorites and for sure a church session of legendary stature!

"I don't know what's happening right now, but I love it." This was precisely my feeling when I first heard this song.

Many regarded them as a heavy metal band, ha ha! As you said, they did many genres and did them brilliantly!

The live is insane!!

this is on and off my favourite zeppelin track, achilles last stand being my current favourite. youl LOVE that 1 aswell, another MONSTER drumming track with 1 of pages best ever solos imo

Yep, Blind Willie Johnstone, from the good old South London, you can't miss that good ole Elephant and Castle Tabernacle Gospel feel!

Great reaction! These guys don't disappoint. Keep going.

Never forget John Paul Jones! He was the glue that held the other stupendous stars together. He could play so many instruments as required. He may be the quietest one amongst the talent and egos but he was always there!

Led Zeppelin is one of the greats.

All I can say is welcome to the Led Zeppelin Journey

JPJ really kept it together, never really getting the credit he deserved

Jimmy Page...I love Jimmy Page. That man is so talented. Such a great band. Every single man there has their own thing and together they are magic.

I was so blessed to see them in concert ! MSG in 1977🫶🏼

At 16, this what i listened to. Belting out on an old record player, it thrilled the senses with every track. LZ, Muddy Waters, Lead Belly, John Lee Hooker, Howlin Wolf, B.B. King & Albert King provided a 'right of passage' for my sons as soon as they hit 13. Then, I introduced LZ to my grandson when he was 8 - he's been playing drums ever since & will be 16 in December. Now, a full circle of love, respect & appreciation of real music has been achieved. This remains the best gift i've ever given to my sons & grandson. Love & Peace 🇬🇧❤️

I love experiencing the younger generations enjoying the music that we LOVED in the 70s. So many good ones. I hear so many reactors today say that some of the music was "ahead of their times". Nope - it was the start of the times. Musicians today are dipping back to that music and building upon it. 70s music was the base of such good music.

You should check out the live version jimmy will blow you away

Wow 🍃 speechless. The structure of the journey the four of them bring to us is brilliant. Epic

the most monstrous drumming ive ever heard in my life!!!!

I wish it were possible to choose a top 5 for Zeppelin.

When Physical Graffiti was released in 1975 it was a sensation. In the USA & Canada it was selling 500 copies every HOUR.

You aint heard The Rain Song yet !

They did do the first Hip-Hop song. Its called "The Crunge". :)

Hard Acid Blues Rock.

Я из России. Мне уже немногим больше 70. г. Я люблю Лед Зеррелин. Это великая группа!

At 10:14 Bonham's drums explode with pure power it really is like an explosion! WOW!!!

This is one of the reasons I ❤️ Zeppelin 💯🔥

Bonham was completely self-taught, just a natural.

When they got together the angels gave them the breath of the blues...they were so influenced by black American blues (Sonny Boy Williamson, Billy Johnson, Johnny Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, etc.). They took a lot of songs from these greats and made it updated, but still full of blues.

John Bonham was lost at a young age, but some years later his son, John Bonham Jr played with the band and you would swear Dad was right back on earth.

Thanks for your reactions. Get the Led out!

This song is like fine wine (or a good whiskey for me in particular) , I didn’t get into it much when I was younger but now it’s one of my favorite songs of all time and I’m obsessed with that creeping zombie bass and I play the main riff on my guitar a lot even before I realized it was from this specific song , effing love it!

I saw them in 1976 in MSG in NY, and by then I learned to play it. I never covered it professionally because I played mostly originals, but it remains my all time favorite cover to play.

Cheers for reacting to my favourite Led Zeppelin song. For me this song makes me think of Robert Johnson playing the Delta blues at the crossroads and selling his soul to the devil at least that’s how the legendary goes.

You don’t hear or see performance’s like this anymore!

I still have my cassette of the original version by Blind Willie Johnson, which I recommend. Haunting.

Try their song, No Quarter live in Madison Square garden 1973.

They started their own label.

It’s like Led Zeppelin walked right up to the pearly gates and let us all in!

Jimmy on the steel guitar.

Love watching you rock out with greatness!

So much love!

Man, ya need to play the video along with this. It's even more epic. Led Zeppelin...the greatest ever.

I dig your reactions, bro. One of the very best songs from THE best group!

One of my favorite Zeppelin songs.

Amazing song!! I love your videos, you should listen to Kashmir or no quarter!

Swan Song is Led Zeppelin's own label they started. It's part of the Atlantic records company. Swan Song Records was a record label launched by the English rock band Led Zeppelin on 10 May 1974. Atlantic was yhe distributor for Swan Song Records.

Swan Song was their own label under Atlantic Records.

Physical Graffiti is my all-time favorite rock album. It is peak Led Zeppelin!

My favorite Led Zeppelin song. I think I could listen to it infinitum.

Hey Bro! You have got to watch the live concert version ! It will really blow you away! Peace. I saw they live in 1975 and they cooked for 3 1/2 hours dude!!
