I'm near 60, so I grew up with Led Zeppelin...such a joy to see them being experienced by a new generation of fans!!

I’m jealous because you’re getting to hear the greatest rock band in history for the first time. I wish I could hear it for the first time again.

as a 70 year old DJ & music Lover, I enjoy young peoples reactions to music I grew up with, this is Led Zeppelin's Debut album, & for me, still their best, so soulful, so bluesy.

i think it's called an "eargasm" you get them a lot with Led Zeppelin peace (from the UK)

When you next see a 60 to 70 year old in the street just give a thought, they were probably rockin out to this like you were on Vinyl in 1969! We are all equal when it comes to appreciating music for the soul, irrespective of Age Race or Gender. And don't forget the African American blues pioneers who really influenced this music back in the early 20th century and in the main died destitute and largely forgotten..

Zeppelin were masters at arrangements and musical instinct.

Good god good Lord led zeppelin they are truly untouchable best band ever

That is a great analogy of this song. Listening to Led Zeppelin for the first time is like a box of chocolates you never know what your going to get.

Have you ever heard such a complete band with such excellent musicianship. Even Plant’s voice is a powerful instrument . Pure rock n roll

It's so awesome how they come out of soft to hard music so perfectly. nobody does it better

The intricacies, layers, complexity, lyrics, etc. makes music so satisfying and engages us more completely as human beings.

After hearing zeppelin you will never be the same again, the gods of rock unchallenged, never bettered, you will still be listening in a hundred years 😀😀

I’m 65, love your reaction. I think first time I heard this I was 15 years old (1969) , it’s still relevant today. Good job !

Feeling the effects of what Jimmy Page called "light and shade".....the whisper to the thunder. Try Ramble On, Over The Hills And Far Away, and What Is And What Should Never Be.

I love seeing the effects of someone being Zeppelined!!

In my opinion THIS IS THE GREATEST Rock and Roll album.

This has been one of my favorite songs since I was probably 14. It's always on my Playlist now. I'm currently 64. And I'm just watched this. 😆

I like your intelligent analysis of songs, you're really listening intently to the music, its components, the production and you have passion for what you're hearing. Much better than other reactors who hardly react or just say it's great.

Basically, just a few lyrics. What they did with it is timeless and untouchable.

This is iconic.Shows how they mastered all instruments and vocals.

Damn awesome song!

Starburst explosion in your ears. Wow!!!!

This song was the one that convinced me to buy an acoustic guitar, it's so damn good...

51 year old masterpiece

A complete orgasmic explosion of flavors, but in your ears. That's why they call it ear candy. 🎶😎

Dynamics baby! The song was written by Anne Bredon in the late 1950's and originally recorded by Joan Baez in 1962. Her version is quite folksy, like a song you might have heard sitting around a camp fire during a coal miner's strike in the 1920's. And while plaintive, her voice doesn't crack with angst the way Plant's does. It should go without saying, but the Led Zeppelin version is souped-up considerably.

This is my favorite song of all time ... Back in the day people would just walk away from relationships because they had to hit the road ...both men and women. That is what he was saying. It was time to part ways for a while.

I saw Led Zeppelin perform this song at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, Calif. in 1969. I saw the band two more times at Arizona State University during the early 1970s.

He had to go off to battle to defend his home, he had to leave her but he didn't want to, he heard his destiny to go to war calling him. He promises to come back after saving his country and they will go walking in the park every single day. Subject matter reminds me of an Irish ballad but with Spanish arrangement.

I'm 71 years old and I saw Led Zeppelin at the Rainbow Roller Rink in Chicago, it was called kinetic playground on weekends!

this was always one of my favorites by them, thanks

Finding new music you connect with is an awesome thing. I'm a white guy, and never used to listen to hip hop, but the first time I heard a Tupac track, I felt like I was hearing a prophet. I remember the purity and power of his voice and lyrics and knew that he could not be denied.

This is the song which really shows off Robert Plant's own voice to full effect...

One of their best songs. The acoustic riff is beautiful

Another youngster finally hears the musical magic of Zep.

Ok now we need 3rd song You Shook Me.

That was awesome!… Great reaction… Here are some other Led Zeppelin songs to check out. What is and what should never be Black dog Going to California The immigrant song Ramble on When the Levee breaks Thank you The rain song Whole lot of love They were heavily influenced by American blues singers guitarists and songwriters Howlin’ Wolf. Muddy waters. Bo Diddley. BB King. Any of those songs that could make it across the Atlantic Ocean to England. Their main goal was to make it big in America.

"What Is and What Should Never Be" catch the wind see us spin, sail away leave today....

Very intricate, an incredibly intense song!

I'm enjoying you so much going thru Led Zeppelin. A Band that still ceases to amaze how they could put together so many great different songs and Styles. And YOU my friend are a treat. A young fun Knowledgeable Women making the same faces and head bops I do in Sync!! You all around Rock!! Luv Ya!!!

The song after this one on their first album, "You Shook Me", is one of the best blues number ever recorded, in my opinion. Another great reaction!

Led Zeppelin -- You Shook Me

This reaction is when I made your acquaintance. Your reaction was so much a reflection of my own at first hearing this song. That was a few months after the LP dropped in '69. I was 13 and had heard nothing like it before. Blew me away, especially with the phones on. Watching you released a torrent of memories and I thank you.

Soon to be 59, Watching you Rock out to Zeppelin reminds me of when I was a teen in the 70s Rocking out in my room, air drumming to Zeppelin. Trust me when I say, get some ROBIN TROWER (Bridge of Sighs) in your blood, the whole album is good.

I'm SO enjoying watching your first experiences of Led Zep! As someone noted somewhere in the comments your enjoyment is making me enjoy Zep like its the first time too. I think we have a convert on our hands.

Just finished watching it and yeah, I just love how you can totally relax into it and totally get it. You don't miss much and I can tell you're totally tapping into the feeling of it even though it's not a brand new style of music which it really was at the time. Fun.

This song was originally written in the early 60's by Joan Biaz, I've been told that the song is Loosely based on a Soldier that is stationed in A foreign country Falls in Love with a local girl, then gets called away to fight in Vietnam!! Now, he 's Agonizing over having to leave her!! Or , so I've been told!!🎶

Good song. Can't understand who could not like it. This band was the best

I feel the same way when I hear this song. I just get my head rocking!

This music just transcends time Love seeing young people experiencing this music for the first time. Your awesome kid.

Watching her it feels like i'm hearing it for the first time myself and i'm 72. She listens with a freedom I never had, too much of the British reserve.

You want some explosive Zep, then try Communication Breakdown. When this came out I was blown away. I played it over and over and over. Had never heard anything like it.

He has to leave because the call of his rambling ways is stronger than the draw of where he might want to stay...

Music from the 60s and 70s like Zep, Floyd, etc make today’s music sound so computerized and auto tuned. Love your reactions! 😍

I love seeing people listen to music that's been around longer than they have been alive.

You are so much fun to watch, thank you for being so willing to listen to new (for you) music and to share your discoveries with us. 🥰✌️

Ok looks like we're going in order here. 2nd song off 1st album

Nobodys Fault But Mine - Led Zeppelin. Trust Me. That is all. Peace.

Nice quote from The book of Daniel!

You had a Zeppelin eargasm! Yea, it's a thing. Loved your reaction! Been listening to them since I was 10. I'm old enough to be your...uncle. LMAO!

Rhythm guitar on one side and lead guitar on their other and the vocal in the middle.Get a good headphones to Truely experience the full details of the song.Great reaction.😯😯😯😯😯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼!!!!,!

listen to misty mountain hop, ramble on, dazed and confused... the list is endless

My interpretation is that he had to leave a woman he loves because he had the urge to travel the world and play music. But eventually that love would call him back home. "That's when it's calling me back home" coincides with a transition back to the softer acoustic slow ending. Led Zeppelin live was not a slow, stay at home by the fireplace band. But Robert Plant was married and had children. So I suspect he struggled to balance family life with being in one of the most popular bands of all time.

Song #3 Album #1 "You Shook Me" You CANNOT skip this song. Mothership be damned!!!! It rolls right into the opening bass line of "Dazed and Confused." I know you did the live version of Dazed but I don't think you've done the studio. A double song reaction would be nice, but PLEASE at least do "You Shook Me" It will melt your face. I promise. Your soul is old and full of rock and roll. Peace

Led Zeppelin: “Your Time Is Gonna Come”, “In The Light”, and do on. 👍🏻

This is a traditional song, given the Zeppelin treatment with this great arrangement!

Hard to believe this album got absolutely panned by rolling stone when it came out, also ,hard to believe this album came out half a century ago, Robert plant & J.B. were only about 20 & making music like that it still blows my mind.

i cannot get enuf of LOOKN AT YOU !!!!!!!! ROCK ON ALLWAYZ !!!!!

Zeppelin's songs often fall loosely into two categories. Songs about meeting/loving/loosing, women. And songs about myths/legends/fantasy. 'Babe I'm gonna leave you' is one that crosses both themes. Plant would often tie in elements of 'home' being some place he has to go and can't come back from. 'Home' is possibly 'heaven,' so he could be an angel, and she will be there with him one day. It's one interpretation...

SOUL comes in ALL COLORS!! We are HIS "Creations."

Awesome reaction I love how you explained what it’s like emotionally to listen to Led Zeppelin especially songs like that one. And yes with the headphones you hear the different arrangements from here to here you might hear something that’s like above your head but really faint is just amazing how page engineered all the stuff. Simply amazing this song is a cover from Joanne buyers. And if I’m pretty sure that her version is a cover as well. The song is about a man going off to war. It’s not a break up song is not anything of that nature it’s about a man going off to war and expressing how he feels. Awesome reaction you shook me is next, the blues remake and then there’s days are confused the studio version. Which you really should listen to because that live version you have listen to before they were still working through it. Rubber plants voice is amazing

There is a reason they are considered the overall best band of all time. Writing, musicianship, overlapping styles and as you can tell from all of the reactions - they take you on a journey each and every song..from Black Dog to Dazed and Confused to Gallows Poll... All of this during a time when if you wanted a sound on your album you had to play the instrument to get it...

reminds me of a dark room lit only by the faint dial of the stereo.... a beer...a buzz.... the volume up....your girl had to study and couldn't come over....you are alone as possible on a campus of 10,000....motionless except for occasional air guitar or drums.....20 in 71

You MUST check then live 1969 denmark radio, Bonham and Plant ware 20 years old, Jimi 25 and Paul Jones 26. Check the song "How many more times", it´s long, bot it´s worth. loving your Zeppelin journey, gives me the feeling of i´m listening the song for the first time again.

''We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.'' The line that's haunted me for 30 odd years. Bad break up, life can be hard.

Thx so much still so grande a composition, I adhered to 30 years ago... X-Wybo in Holland

this was what I listened to falling asleep in high school with head phones so my parents didn't get mad and you make it new again.

There seems to be a bunch of African America KZfaq channels dealing with caucasian based classic rock. Listening and rating them , that's all in good. I grew up listening to most music genre. From rock , soul , blues , old school hip hop , metal , and even southern rock. Keep up listening and your opinions on the music.

Back in the day when the artists actually wrote and played there own music. Those were the days for sure. Great memories for sure.

Best Band Ever.

I think if you've never been hit with wanderlust, this song won't ever make sense to you. What's calling him? The road, Sweetheart. The need to break out of everything you've dug yourself into. All the familiarity, even the things you love. The call to be born into the mystic.

"I can hear it calling me back home" has a dual meaning here...so background, this is a cover of an Anne Bredon song (which Page didnt know when he credited it as "traditional" as did the others that covered it before LZ). The original Bredon meaning is something like trying to escape an abusive relationship and failing. Many people interpret LZs version as a longing to return to addiction, I've got to leave you...I can hear it calling me, but to me that seems wrong (this song was track 2 on their first album, wayyyyy before any of them got into drugs/alcohol) just based on timing. Some think its robert plants desire to chase his music career despite having promised his gf: "if I haven't made it by my 20th birthday (August 20, 1968) I'll quit"...he met jimmy page in late July 1968, their first live show was September 7th, and the album this song appeared on was recorded on September 27th 1968 and released in January 1969...some think this is an ode to his future wife of apology...but hey...it worked out :) it sounds like a love song to me, but he loves two things equally and intensely, misses both, longs for both, but to be with one is to be temporarily without the other... It suits their overall theme that love is often agony (nearly their whole catalogue are love songs btw)

You MUST Watch the "LIVE" versions for this song and "How Many More Times" Mind-Blowing!! Robert Plant was so young (19yrs. old).

This is music of the highest quality. And I woulda been more than happy to ring your bell 30 years ago sweetness but I'm way past my due date.

Every songs a magical mystery ride isn't it littlemlady... glad u enjoy what I grew up blessed listening too look:) seen them twice live

Starburst explosion! Wonderful analogy!

As a musician The Road calls out to me to play to explore and to experience, the new the different the unknown. That edginess that can only happen when, when you don’t know what will happen.

YOU REACTED THE SAME WAY MY BRAIN REACTED 50 YRS AGO WHEN I HEARD THIS........YOU WERE MY BRAIN THEN....THIS IS WHY THEY ARE THE TOP 3 BANDS TO PLAY THIS TYPE OF MUSIC...ALONG WITH PINK FLOYD AND RUSH...TO UNDERSTAND ALL OTHERS .....DON'T COME CLOSE ....IF IT TWISTS YOUR MIND.....YOU HAVE ARRIVED

I love the way you approach things for sure man. I'm nearly 60 and grow up with this stuff and I'm a musician and I can tell you really completely get this stuff. It would be great to hang out with you and play some music sometime, obviously and some other reality, laugh. It would be fun though for sure.

Absolute masterpiece!

This was solid, so solid I think for 1st try, 1st album release, with 1969 technology. Yes, @David Brown. Led Zeppelin didn't remix they "reinvented" Black American blues from Chicago, Mississippi, etc with a vastly different interpretation. I don't think he says WHAT was "calling him back home". Maybe he met a city girl but he had to get back to the country or vice-versa. I think the idea is mostly "I'm a free spirit and I gotta roam, can't settle down too long in one place" kinda thing. Close enough.

She's digging on Zep, so cool! She looks though she had a night of some girl on girl, blue is the warmest color action!

The road was calling him. Wanderlust. The need to move on and see other things. A classic Motif in a lot of Blues and Rock I love you and I need you baby but I need my freedom more

The road is calling, and every thing that comes with it.

I keep thinking as much as they toured as a band naturally this would apply to his life

Loved your reaction to Zep. I have watched quite a few reactions to Zep and it amazes me how many young black people seem to really get the music. I am asking an honest question--can you explain why that is? I know music transcends everything, but it is puzzling why so many young people are listening when they used to just listen to rap and hip hop. Many whites did not get Zep when I was young ( I was 15 when I first heard them), so I am loving the reactions of today's young people. Cheers

Thanks for pulling the Led out for us again over the weekend. What a lovely way to start my Sunday. 🙌🏼💕 Love your reactions, musical analysis of what you’re hearing musically and your thoughts of each songs meaning. Definitely about a lost love. Reminds me of someone going off to war but believe it’s actually about the band members sacrifice to play music and leaving relationships behind in order to continue as Led Zep. Such fun watching you discover them. 🌞

Love your interpretations and how carefully you listen to the music, also your sound is amazing, not so much with some of the others I've heard, sometimes the music just doesn't sound as clear and vibrant.

Sometimes all I can say is it's the music that draws me in.

Probably my favorite LZ song; just love everything about it; I get lost in it every time I hear it. Loved your reaction.
