So glad I found your station! As others have said, guitarist Jimmy Page sometimes uses a violin or cello bow on his guitars (you should watch the live performance). All these songs you're reacting to are from their first album, which certainly caught everyone's attention (I was 15 in 1970). The drummer is John Bonham. He and Robert Plant (the singer) were both 18 or 19 when this band was formed in 1968. This album was released (I think) in 1969. The keyboardist, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page were in bands and were studio musicians when they got together to form this band. Led Zeppelin just has something a lot of bands at the time didn't have.

Lots of great responses below, just wanted to add a few thoughts if I may. Jimmy is using a 59 Fender Telecaster (gift from Jeff Beck) with a cello bow, but also I did not see anyone below mention that there is actually a double "call and response" going on simultaneously here, 1 between the Base&Drums and the prominent one between the Guitar&Vocals! This is on my top 10 list and the best track on the album imo!

Dazed and Confused was written by the folk-rock singer Jake Holmes and released as a track in his debut album "The Above Ground Sound" Of Jake Holmes in 1967. That same year Jake Holmes opened for The Yardbirds in a show in New York where Jimmy Page heard the song. The song was rearranged and later became one of Led Zeppelin best-known songs, the debt to Jake Holmes however went largely unacknowledged by the band until 2012.

I appreciate your observations! Another great example of LZ's use of call and response!!! LZ does that in alot of their tracks. I know you've done a reaction to the Madison Square Garden live version after this reaction so you know how the sounds are being made. A live version is a must not only for Page and Plant's performances but to see the playing of the driving bass line and the drums by JPJ and Bonzo. AND how they go out on the improvisation limb (more than the studio) and then seamlessly back into the main riffs of the song. As far as live performances of Dazed, I like the one from 1/1970 from Royal Albert Hall - it was before LZ fully embraced the rock gods image in their performances (not that that had bad results - I love that too) but it just seems closer to the music and less spectacle to me. You may have already checked it out if not - Link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br2fhKeh352sf4E.html As a point of reference about their grandeur as a band - 34 years after the MSG performance - they did D&C at the Celebration Day (2007 reunion) concert with John's son Jason on drums.

Zepplin didn't conform they're music to what the record companies wanted. They could care less. Since they didn't COMPLY, the reviews were always bad because you were expected to do what the Machine wanted. Another reason their popularity sored. Albums were played on turn tables back then and the band wanted you to hear the whole thing non stop so there was no time limit to the songs. Non artist's just can't understand that one. Record companies just understand the dollar. So the band won that battle and the audience agreed.
