You're the hardest working reactor out there...and the most watchable.

This is an actual real reaction/review, a mans review. Nothing wrong with kids enjoying and reacting to music they are just now hearing. This is not a kids review. This is an intelligent discussion from someone who actually understands the nuances of music. Adults come to this channel. So well done sir

This features Bonham's famous drum part variation of the purdie half-time shuffle.

Fair assessment about Bonham. As a drummer for 45 years who has studied under symphonic percussion directors and been a session player for a long time you're absolutely correct. There's no such thing as "the best". Every rock drummer has studied Bonham; if they haven't then they should. Bonham masterfully handled whatever Page and Jones threw at him. He always established a solid foundation according to what was necessary. In my favorite Zeppelin song, the Rain Song he hardly plays. What he plays is perfect for the song. This song, and Bonham's shuffle rhythm he employs is masterful. The groove is so strong yet not just in your face. Keep up the great, thoughtful, and well-rounded reactions.

There are fans out there who don’t really get the last 2 albums.In my opinion yes they are different. But unmistakably Led Zeppelin. Going in whatever direction that moves them.And that’s why they are different because Jimmy’s constantly searching for new and fresh music to compose. And to quote you, Why??”because they can”” just another reason why they were then and they still are and will forever be the greatest band to ever grace the stage

John Henry Bonham takes you to school again , and again and again!!!! No one has the feel and creativity to deliver like him.

Gene Kelly, Singing in the rain. I was one of the lucky one`s i saw Zeppelin in 1977, i was 19 years old.

I love this man keep the soul alive ❤️

agree with you about Page. LOVE your channel.

May 5th 1973, Tampa stadium, the largest stadium concert to that date. over 58,000, plus hundreds outside. I was there. cost of ticket $6.00, memories priceless.

Always love your reactions soul train bro. Such a great reactor, great knowledge of music and what makes it great, and really makes me feel like I’m personally jamming and having discussion with someone when watching your videos. Just awesome!

I agree with you that LZ was preparing for the 80s and was moving in a new direction. This song and album stands as a testament to what could have been.

Thanks again Soul Train Bro you the best reviewer on the Internet ❤️👍👍

Always a great reaction from you brother. You're knowledgable and react intelligently. You know how to give a good opinion. I'm glad to be checking out your videos again.

Fool In The Rain has always been one of my favorite LZ tunes, top 5.

You've been doing reactions to led Zeppelin for a while now but I've been watching you so you know that they have dabbled in everything from jazz blues calypso Jamaica Little bit of country rock hard Rock. Led Zeppelin is an all-around just badass. You're just about at the end of the rabbit hole congratulations

In many groups of the era we may be able to pick out a seeming weak link member. But, for me, with LZ there is no weak link. They are all monster talents in their own areas of expertise. One friend suggest John Paul Jones as the most easily replaceable member. But this man is multi talented. For example, his keyboard work on Kashmir leads the drive to that mountain peak like not many could master or muster in my view.

If the Sun refused to shine, I would still be lovin’ you 🎶 When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me💙

Thanks for re-posting this!

Pearl Jam and Plant were leading into “Thank You” STB. Your right... LZ II was a while ago. Love your reviews and reactions. Peace ✌🏼

Oh, baby Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for night I hate to think I been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a burning And the thrill of your touch give me fright And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why don't you show up and make it alright, yeah? It's alright right And if you promised you'd love so completely And you said you would always be true You swore that you never would leave me baby Whatever happened to you? And you thought it was only in movies As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey It ain't the first time believe me baby I'm standing here feeling blue, blue ha! Yes I'm blue Oh, babe Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I watch the people go shuffling downtown Another ten minutes no longer And then I'm turning around, 'round And the clock on the wall's moving slower Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found, found Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found Oh, that I found Hey, babe, ooh Hand that ticks on the clock Just don't seem to stop When I'm thinking it over Oh, tired of the light I just don't seem to find Have you wait, yeah played Whoa, I see it in my dreams But I just don't seem to be with you, you I gotta get it all, gotta get it all, gotta get it all I've got to get all Ooh now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet, oh I got no reason to doubt you baby It's all a terrible mess And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop, hey! And the thoughts of a fool's kind of careless I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah Hey, now, oh, oh, oh Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I Light of the love that I found Light of the hey, now light of the hey, now Light of the love that I found Light of the love that I found

One of my many favorite songs from Zeppelin ♥️ When the piano comes in I have to get up & dance till the end!! All members are Masters of their Craft ♥️🎶 I enjoy your channel so much!! Have you heard their song called “Tea For One?” It’s the last cut from their 1976 “Presence” album. Would love to hear your thought on it sometime! Thanks

Bonzo is working that Purdie shuffle on OT, then tossing in a Latin samba/calypso beat breakdown to boot....incredible

Love how you give information and insight to the songs

My favorite Page solo and one of my favorite songs ever.

A variation of the Purdie half-time shuffle which was a drum phrasing originated by Bernard Purdie that can be heard on many recordings including some of the Steely Dan songs he played on. Bonham, however, put his own spin on it and the result is just an incredible groove.

the glory of music

"Over The Hills And Far Away"

Bonzo was absolutely AMAZING in this song. Ridiculous drumming

this may be the greatest song of all time

i love sweet good music

Thanks Bro! Jason plays on same kit as his dad :D

John Bonham: drums, percussion John Paul Jones: bass guitar, keyboards Jimmy Page: all guitars, gizmotron Robert Plant: vocals

Bonham has so much contrast he can make a dull track sparkle! Miss this bands art , you never knew what's coming next.

It was cool that PJ and Plant got together for Hurricane Katrina because the Bush Administration did next to shit in the beginning. Anyway, I love the Zeppelin version of Fool In The Rain. I'm a PJ fan and, I appreciate the whole idea. But, they are not Jimmy Page, John Bonham or JPJ. Eddie did an okay job singing. And when Robert does it, it's like stereo. Nobody can be Zeppelin, at least that's my take away. Oh, the song PJ was going to do after Fool In The Rain was Thank You. And, The Black Crows singer is Chris Robinson :)

Wayne...helene here. If it’s not too much of a pain, would it be possible to just add a sentence to these re-posts saying when you first did them? I’ve been with you through your. zeppelin journey, as you know, and I find myself pondering....now when did he first react to this........time has been weird for the past year.....something could have been eight months ago or a year...

A wonderful if not one of his best most underrated guitar solos. How does one fit a solo i to that tempo..Jimmy did. The tempo and phrasing is genius and he uses a Gizmotron to give it that unlikely but perfect sound needed.

Thanks.

Hey Brother, we need to keep in mind the year this was released, disco was at its height, the band personally was a mess, Paige was in the height of his addiction , Bonhams , was consuming more booze 🥃 than ever , plant n jones were highly frustrated with all of that, they were recording during the day n Paige n Bonham were recording at night. And they still produce this awesome album...

Damn! I forgot how fantastic this song is.

This was the end for these masters that was the last thing they did sir

one one Bonhams best track indeed

Love your videos sir

Nice reaction. Sometime do a reaction to the drum solo by Bonham in their song Moby Dick. Not only does he use the sticks but also his bare hands to beat on the skins. Peace Bro...

Virtuosity

This band could have rested on their laurels long before they stepped into the studio to make this or the previous 2 albums. Thankfully, thats not the type of musicians they were.

Dont forget about the water color album sleeve.

Robin Trower .... Caledonia!!!

Ima need that fit

Bonham is the most influential drummer of them all.

Check out D'yer Mak'er by Zep. It's a reggae song.

I'll say it. John's the best.

it's all about the triplets. Stay healthy to you and you kin. God Bless Biden.

Pages love of heroine and Bonham's drinking left Jones and Plant to do most of the work here. Plant actually said that if Bonham did not die Zeppelin was just about done anyways.

Rings Starr is the greatest drummer of all time, then comes John Bonzo,
