Gentlemen…. I have been so impressed by your adventurousness and embrace of this music. I have been listening to Led Zepplin since 1970. The year I came home from Vietnam. I was there at an air base where we had our barracks and big wall lockers. Many of us had $1,000 worth is stereo equipment and head phones. The music was our refuge from the craziness of where we were. That year I discovered LZ 1 and 2. They were ground breaking then and still are very deep in my heart. Oh. I’m a black guy, formerly from LA now retired to Jacksonville Florida. 72 years young. You guys give me hope. You have opened your minds and are sharing your findings. Never stop. Never.

When the lead comes in on Tangerine, after "and I do..." I always get goosebumps. Great vibe.

With "Tangerine," Robert Plant would sometimes introduce this at concerts by saying: "This song is for our families and friends and people we've been close to. It's a song of love at its most innocent stages." Plant also said the lyrics are personal to him as it was written with regards to a love interest of his that slipped away over time. And he wonders what might've been- "I was her love, she was my queen, now a thousand years between..."

I love you guys. What makes you different is the fact that you LOVE music and APPRECIATE music, I love it. Keep it going guys.

Gallows Pole is one of my favorite Zep songs. The banjo was a big part of the swing era, not just country music.

I love this album because of all the different musical instruments they brought into rock music. The same as the Beatles, they showed that rock music can be more than guitar, bass and drums.✌️

This album is fantastic. Massively underrated

Old white here, and I luv youse guys reacts. Respect, for acknowledging GREATNESS.!

Some of Zeppelin’s greatest songs are on that record. Since i been loving you is a masterpiece. That’s the way, Going to California! Great record

It is a banjo on Gallows Pole, which is actually based off a song that goes back centuries. It slowly builds in intensity like another song off their next album, Stairway to Heaven. Also the drums come in later, like in Stairway too. It’s a great song that gives me bluegrass vibes.

Tangerine, if you already didn't know, was a song Page wrote about the American singer/songwriter early 60s girlfriend Jackie DeShannon; whom he collaborated songwriting with. I think he loved her and got his heart broken!!

The ORIGINAL album cover actually has a spin wheel inside of it, so you can change what is inside the little circles.... Not sure if the Reproduction albums do that too...

This song is what happens when four master musicians come together. All part are equal, all contribute to the sound of perfection. BTW I had this on 8 track. Yes I am old!

I’m a III album lover! It’s the most open and innovative in my opinion.

You have to give mad mad mad props to John Paul Jones Bass playing, style and tone! Dude is a femonimal Bassist and Musician!

It's an amazing a crazy album all the way through- can't understand why anyone who calls themselves a LZ fan wouldn't dig it.

Zepplin created some of the best get stoned and hang out with your buds music ever😂🎉❤

Lest we not forget, Since I've Been Loving You was also on this album and is considered one of their great masterpieces of blues rock. I bought this when it was brand new and loved it as much as the first 2 albums, and saw them live on the supporting tour.

No one sings lead vocal for Led Zeppelin but Robert Plant.

Led Zeppelin were masters at putting their own arrangement on old traditional gospel and blues songs. When the Levee Breaks, In My Time of Dying, Nobody's Fault But Mine are three of my favourites along with this one. Gallows Pole stands out because of its acoustic flavour and use of the banjo. Great song pick guys

You know you are special when what some people consider your worst album is still a masterpiece in comparison to other artists.

Gallows pole is my favorite Zepplin song.The story cracks me up!

48 years ago tonight, I was in the front row for Led Zeppelin. For 3 and a half hours, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham were just a few feet away from me, putting on an incredible incredible show.

Tangerine about a summer of young love and how it comes to its enevitable end. Sweet tale.

I Love them all. Physical Graffiti by far is favorite. Keep rocking Gents❤

So glad y’all are playing and enjoying Led Zeppelin. Been listening to them for 50 years and their music remains relevant and timeless. Yes, they are hypnotic!

Sister I implore you, take him by the hand , take him to some shady bower , save me from the wrath of this man..

The fact that this album is so different from the first two, but is still unmistakably LZ is a true testament to how great they were and that they were not afraid to expand their sound. Love the discussion once again. ✌️

They were all brilliant and together they were masterful. In my opinion, JPJ was the swiss army knife and the glue that held the music together

All right Brothers, let's start today and get the LED out! Love your channel. You guys truly comprehend the magnitude of 1960s and 1970s music! There is nothing like it and they never will be, some people just don't understand!

I been listening to this group fo 40 years or more

The models, years, brands of instruments are carefully selected. This album has high end Martin D28 Acoustic, mandolins, fender Tele b bender. Amplifiers. A big part of all famous musicians from the 70’s were extremely diligent in finding high quality amps, guitars, drums, bass. Most all the greats also have great instruments by their side deliberately hunted for.

Its good to see that you played these two tracks together, as it should be. Much the same as Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid need to be heard together too.

'ACHILLES LAST STAND', that's the song i'm waiting for you to listen to, it's also fantastic, three cheers to you two and thanks

As someone may have mentioned, this is their take on a very old English folk (for want of a better word) song. Not country music, but rather English folk---Zep style.

I'm honestly glad they made this album! I think this was the album that defined them during those hard early times and gave them the baggage to move on!

12 string acoustic, a Mandolin, a banjo then an electric guitar is what you heard in the first song along with JPJs Bass guitar. The second song there is also a 12 string acoustic, maybe a six string in the middle, hints of a mandolin and a steel lap slide guitar (electric).

As I've previously admitted, it took me a while to get it with this album. I had my own expectations of what LZIII should be, but they had their own ideas, and they obviously knew best.

Especially Tangerine is, to me, a masterpiece. Pulled the thread of Led Zeppelin I & II's dirty American blues right up to the edge of country and English folk. And an important thing to bear in mind when listening to this album is how it set the stage for things like Stairway to Heaven which were to come in the not too distant future. So many great songs on this album, though, and it was the one that inspired my interest in travel-I wanted to know why it was so different and what they did and where they went. Ended up getting obsessed with Wales and even ended up going to school one train stop away from the cottage they had been at. The UK was my first ever trip, because I wanted to see where these guys played and what they did. And now I've been to almost 70 countries in the past decade.

Country, Folk, Bluegrass, Reggae, Rock, Funk...but you can always tell it's Led Zeppelin. And they always KILL it.

My Grandpa had a cpl Led Zeppelin Albums and this is how I became a LED HEAD. His favorite song was Tangerine and I’ve been waiting for your reaction to that song. Thank You 😊

U make me fall all over my LED ZEPPELIN THANK YOU

I always liked "III" beter than its predecessors. I felt "I" and "II" were too bluesy. My fav Zepp album is 1975's "Physical Graffiti". But hey, I'm from Belgium, we've always been a bit weird. Cheerio, lads.

You never knew what instrument would pop up on one of their songs. Banjo, violin, mandolin, were all used.

What a slammin' tune and also kind of a turning point for them Experimentation yes...but I'd also call it "evolution". They were growing up, shedding a bit of the Cream inspired blues rock that got them on the map and starting to carve out their own sound which would come to fruition on Zeppelin IV

theyre such a versatile band, they could do ANYTHING and go ANYWHERE musically!

Gallows Pole was based on an old English (16th Century) folk song. I remember learning this song in schools (the 16th century version) back in the early sixties. I imagine it was part of the English schools curriculum, and that would be where Page first heard it (he being at school when I was). Yeah, I'm an old git.

LZ3 was a very experimental album. they were exploring folk, country, and bluegrass in most of the songs, but they did put their own spin on it.

The album cover had an insert that you could spin around to see different artwork in the circles on the cover. Very nifty little addition!

IN THE LATE 1960s and throughout the Seventies, Jimmy Page helped shape and define the future of rock & roll with his work in the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. However, in the years prior, he’d already made an immeasurable impact on the sound of popular music by way of the hundreds and perhaps even thousands of recording sessions he sat in on as an anonymous face in the many studios that dotted London at the time.

They were never afraid to do different things. That's what makes them so great. It's a journey enjoy the ride🎸🎸

Dang fellas these zeppelin and steely dan reactions are righteous! Can't wait for ya'll to get to IV! The Rain Song is a masterpiece!

When you think you've figured them out....they go in a completely new direction. They will keep doing that to you through every album. Just lean back and enjoy whatever they give you.

8th grade I wrote a paper dissecting this song (1 of 4 papers I wrote in school about Led Zeppelin)

Led Zeppelin is my all time favourite band. I love this album!! Every one of theur albums were works if art and each one different. Theyre amazing, the four if them all work together so beautifully, just incredible. I cant imagine the world without Zeppelin 🤗😎🌏🪐🌕🙏🍀🐝🌺🇦🇺🌸🦋🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 this sing is fantastic😃❤❤❤

Tangerine is such a sweet song!! Gallows Pole..so dark!

Tangerine is one of my fav Zep tracks, stunning vocals. Definitely a love song

Fella’s, it’s just Rock n Roll!! A mixture of what you are describing is Rock and Roll🤟🏼😎

Thank You Thank You brings memories of my fav Gpa when I was just a little girl. He worked on the railroad and I spent summer’s with them. We would go on country rides and me and Gma would get out and pick wild flowers. Meanwhile Gpa is sitting in his Cherry Red Mustang. I always wondered why Gpa didn’t get out. I think I might know why 💨 😂😂😂

You guys get it about this band. Even if you don't like it, you have to respect it.

My fav zeppelin album

Man, “Tangerine” sounds like Zep doing their impression of the Rolling Stones interpretation of the “Bakersfield sound” (Buck Owens et.al.). Wild.

Another great reaction coming from a couple of musicians who are getting a better understanding from where they are coming from. Music isn't invented, merely branches of the same tree.

There's a reason this album is so acoustic heavy. Most of it was written in an old castle in the South of England called Headley Grange. The band didn't know right off how accessible things like electricity were going to be, so they brought mostly acoustic instruments with them.

Should have said in my post just before-- they do to this English folk song what they did to "Bring it on Home from Zep II album"--start out reflecting the original version/genre then turn the song into a Zep version.

Tom Petty " It'll all work out " with Bobby Valintino on violin . Now that's a live song !

This is ONE of my favorite LZ albums, I think simply because it didn’t get a ton of airplay, so I haven’t heard most of these songs a ton of times.

Led Zeppelin, has a very romantic style in their music and it's a tale of an on-going story by volumes

Thanks, guys! I have a soft spot for this song and album, as it was the first album that I ever tripped to. ✌🏻💀

Love this album. But I live them all. It's Robert singing all the time. Bonzo would do a little background here and there. Robert has a big range in his voice. Great job 👏

Tangerine is pure Zep magic. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what it is, but in your heart you know the energy dates back centuries.

Love this album

Just now watching and love this already and it hasn’t even started yet.

robert plant appeared at many folk festivals , some with sandy denny the vocalist from the battle of evermore, and recently made a bluegrass album with allison krauss

Blues, country, 50's rocks and roll even old medieval music influenced them.

It is a banjo! It’s always been one of my favorite Zep songs. Wait till you guys get to The Song Remains the Same (live album) and Physical Graffiti and Presence! Great stuff!

If you ever get to hear these on a really good stereo, it will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND! III is their best album, and these are the 2 best songs.

looking forward to the next one. one of my faves

For a real treat check out "Robert Plants Band of Joy - Live From the Artists Den" version, it just builds and builds....with the added bonus - some of the best musicians on the planet!

Zeppelin III may not have all the bells and whistles of their first two albums, but there are still some amazing tracks on this album. I just love 'Tangerine'; it's such a beautiful, melancholic song that really does a beautiful job combining the acoustic and electric guitar. But you've got to really respect Zeppelin's refusal to be pigeon-holed. Critics pegged them as hard rock, but Zeppelin were like, 'Yeah, no. Check out our acoustic sets -- We don't need no stinking badges.'

I think you guys are the best Led Zeppelin reactors. You understand the music very well. Led Zeppelin 3 has “only” 4 classic songs on it ..any other band this would be there magnum opus. This is how good this band is. You will begin the enter the rabbit hole shortly….just a warning.

Yeah, it was a banjo. There was a mandolin in there as well. Kind of a Celtic folk rock. LZI and LZIII, and LZIV were my favorites. LZIV was a continuation of LZIII. People who can't appreciate LZIII are philistines. Beginning with Immigrant Song it's a masterpiece.

Zeppelin III is my favorite album from them. Odd, I know. Especially Friends and That's The Way. Completely amazing. Keep up the good work!

Yes it was the banjo and it’s said that Jimmy had never played one until the recording of this song. Can’t wait for u to dive into Zeppelin untitled IV album. It is there top grossing album released in 1971.

Other band members have occasionally provided back up vocals, but Robert Plant has lead the vocals on every song.

Wow, going back to the goodies great song and a great reaction. Keep it up, guys!

my days man. my days

Blood, Sweat and Tears + Tom Jones part 11. IT WILL BLOW you away!!

The third album is my favorite. Nice reactions!

Dude in the bulls hat knows ❤

Led Zeppelin was the master of keeping you guessing. Their experimentation with different styles enabled other bands to do the same without being considered strange or out there. Amazing band. My favorite since I first heard them in the 70s as a kid.

Gallis pole is a old song ,Leadbelly's version is very well known, Tangerine came from the Yardbirds with Jimmy Page with new lyrics and new arrangements, Led Zeppelin III is awesome!!!!

I was in high school when this album came out (yeah, I’m old), and this is the album that really made me a Zeppelin fan. The first two albums are great, but this one was so different from anything being put out back then. It’s still my favorite LZ album just because they took so many risks artistically on it.

The mellifluous sounds from Page's guitar here have long made this one a favorite from III. So sweet and melancholy.

Cool that you guys are doing Zep!🤘👍

Tangerine is actually a song from Jimmy Page's earlier band > The Yardbirds - Knowing You .Incidentally , Dazed & Confused had its starting roots in the Yardbirds as well

Then we have John Paul Jones, bassist and multi-instrumentalist. In 1964, he began working as a session musician for Decca Records, one of the biggest labels of the day. From that point up until the formation of Led Zeppelin in 1968, he featured on hundreds of recording sessions. Swiftly finding his footing, Jones began playing keyboards as well as arranging and producing, and he became one of the most revered and sought out figures in London’s music scene

This album is their unplugged album so to speak. Great tunes with just a different vibe.

This has always been one of my favorite albums of theirs. I like the diversity of instruments and styles they bring to the table on this one.

We went to a friends house after school got high listening to zeppelin,,then at 4:20 go raid the fridge then get out before 5:00 when parents got home,,we my age group invented the 4:20 deal
