Watching two black dudes jam to zeppelin just gives me chills. It reminds me of being 13 hearing them for my first time.

Bonham and Plant were 20 years old here, Jones was 22, Jimmy the "old man" at 24.

It was no accident their music came together so fast. Page and Jones were both two of the top studio sessions musicians in England, both started working careers in their mid teens and were true savants, They literally played on dozens of hit records for many famous bands, So not only were they top musicians but they also knew nearly everything there was to know about recording music as soon as the band started. Page wanted out of the studio and joined the Yardbirds and when that band broke up he put Led Zeppelin together and the four of them created the best band that ever existed.

Yeah you can't go wrong wandering through the Zep catalogue in order. What you will find is their immense versatility. Rock, folk, funk, jazz, reggae, country, blues, celtic, medieval, rockabilly, samba, Indian, eastern. There's no other example of a band who covered this much ground over eight studio records in just over a decade. That's why they were the best. They did it all and did it well.

Not radio friendly, thats what makes it great.

Zeppelin reinvented the Blues....I'm 75 and still listen to these guys almost every day even if it's only a couple tunes.

The GREATEST debut album, EVER.

People would pay 2,000-3,000 a ticket, me included, today to see prime Led Zep live in concert.

Greatest debut album of all time. Greatest first song, greatest closer, and NO filler. You are in for a treat, Zep never missed and there is no filler on any of their albums. Even their throw away songs are genius. BEST band EVER for a very good reason. You will continue to be blown away I am sure. Great reaction champions. Cheers.

JPJ has said that at their first rehearsal he said out loud: "Oh fuck". It was that obvious.

Imagine Being In High School listening to this Monster Called Led Zeppelin,,,Just Unbelievable I'm 68,, when I hear this music I feel young again and my pain goes away 🤣🤣🤣

One of the “heaviest “ debut albums of all time. Changed a lot of people for the better.

You guys being musicians yourselves are able to fully appreciate all the little nuances that made Zeppelin great.

saw them in '73, standing 20 feet from the stage looking up at Jimmy- incredible stuff, and when he pulled out that violin bow, we all fell out

Jimmy is making that guitar sing the band are outstanding

I vote for going in order so you can experience their progression over the years and hear them the same way we did.

😮wow its 1968 and your dropping the needle on this album for the very first time ….game changer !!!!!

Just realized you guys are going track by track through each album. Zep definitely deserving of that honor. Can't wait to see the rest!

How can you possibly go wrong with Zep. No band that came after them was not influenced by them. Great listen to the whole album. You are awesome. The best is yet to come. ✌️🔥

For me personally this is probably the greatest song of all time. Between the hard driving rhythm Pages guitar solo backed up by Johns drumming Plants vocals over that hard rocking sound it's just a buffet for the ears. Idk what can be any better. There's really nothing else like it either. Love it

You’re right, that was Jimmy whipping out his bow again. It gives it that eerie sensation, like something big is about to happen, and it sure does. One of my favorites off this album. Definitely do Zeppelin II, III, IV, Houses, Physical, Presence, In, Coda, live stuff… then you can take a break ;)

“Oh Rosie! Oh girl!” Gosh, I love this! There’s just something kind of “blech” about someone who doesn’t like Zeppelin. Impossible to overrate this band!

Love the "walking" bass line in this. John Paul Jones was such an underrated bassist.

Sonically that first album just sounded better than other rock records back then. Great engineering, production, to go along w/ all the great songs and playing. It was a killer.

I love the way you guys get it about Led Zep. They wowed me at age 9 when I was just starting to really pay attention to music and that was late 60s early 70s. I’m almost 61 now and they still wow me. Those were four geniuses, legends, rock gods! They still rock my world! Best band of the 70’s

Fusion without confusion.

Do it. Go in order. You definitely won't be disappointed

“I am the hunter”, is a blues song on itself: check “the hunter”, from “ the free” album: tons of sobs. Paul Rodgers is one of these other great legendary British Blues singers, like Rory Gallagher and Alvin Lee After Freddy passed away he actually sang with queen.

They recorded this album in one session. they took all 12 hours of their studio rental but appeared with this mast piece.

The first band that made us bang our head!

Led Zeppelin kicked open the door when they started, then Slammed it Closed when they ended

One of the best reviewers out there hands down.

One of my favorite songs from their debut album. Thanks for another great reaction. I'd vote for reacting to their 2nd album next. A lot of people think it's even better than the 1st, and many in the music industry "critics" arena say it is one of the most influential albums "of all time". Also, by going in album order, you'll experience Zeppelin's progression and evolution as a band. Great stuff! :) After The Yardbirds disbanded in July of 1968, Page began looking to form a new band. He already knew Jones, met Plant and Bonham in August, and they had their first rehearsal as a band on August 19, the day before Plant's 20th birthday. If you can believe it, they actually went on tour September 7, then started recording their debut album immediately upon their return to the UK on the September 25. They recorded it in 36 hours over a 3-week period. Yeah, they were that good and that in sync. Lucky us! :)

Led Zeppelin was and Will always be rock blues jazz funk and country listen the rain song

My favorite song of this album. Such a banger

I bumped into the vocalist Robert Plant 🪴 of Led Zeppelin back in February of 2016! he was shopping 🛍 in Kidderminster of all places! I briefly chatted with him and shook his 👋. - C '23

It took 6 months from their first rehearsal together to Conquer America.

They were around 20 yrs old!!! Please react to "In My Time Of Dying" live!! 🎵Robert Plants voice is his instrument...the best rock voice ever!!🎶🎸🎵

One of my all time favourite songs from this band . Page said that it was almost “ telepathic “ how they played together . You simply can’t bottle this .. All the layers of guitar .. magnificent!

The first two to three Led Zeppelin albums in particular were kick in the face great. Immensely gifted band

John Bonham(Led Zeppelin), Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)and Vinny Appice (Dio, etc.) were the reason I started drumming, as a kid, and have never stopped. Bonzo was a monster on the kit!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Enjoy your experience, your on a beautiful journey with the greatest band ever. Just something to consider, this band came on to the scene in 1969 I was 8 years old then 😂😂😂 it was music that no one had ever heard before and it was considered dark kinda of music but you were mesmerized by the sounds 😮😮 even today, incredible.

YES - *Please* do the next album and *ALL* the rest - it shouldn't even really be a question. Some may tell you the later albums aren't worth it, but I assure you, they are. Besides, how will you know their worth if you don't hear it and decide for yourself? Here's a bit of timeline to help you; the band had their first rehearsal on August 12, 1968. The first album was released January 1969 in the US and in March in the UK. It was recorded in about 30-36 hours and was paid for by Jimmy Page and was said to cost 1,782 GBP in 1968 which is approximately 36,526 GBP today, or approximately $44,466 USD today. Jimmy produced the album and the band created a company called Superhype to handle the publishing rights. They were signed to Atlantic in November 1968 and given an advance of $143,000 USD (that would be worth over 1 million today). This was an unprecedented sum for an unknown band. As part of their deal, they kept creative control of everything such as tracks, track listing, album artwork and name (or lack thereof), production, etc. Creative control was another unusual thing Zep had going for them. From his time as a session musician and in his time with The Yardbirds, Jimmy had seen many bands get taken advantage of and did his best to ensure something similar wouldn't happen to his band. Some of the musical influences for the group include rock and roll, rockabilly, Motown, blues, R&B, folk, Celtic, jazz, classical, Indian, and North African music, in addition to others. Their music is guaranteed to provide a unique, dynamic experience.

You have to listen to this album over for years and you will get anew sound to love.

Always amazing! Yes they were together a few weeks!!

The greatest recorded wail in human history! Plant could never even repeat it!

I dig hangin witcha...two stone cold brothers..with some feelin rich commentary..solid.

Jimmy and his bow. Excellent.

they were this good, STRAIGHT AWAY!! robert and bonzo were 20 years old!!

Best band ever led zeppelin case dismissed

The 1st, my favorite still. 👍❤🤙

Dang I just heard Jeff Beck’s “Bolero” in the guitar solo. I wonder which came first. Jimmy and Jeff did play in the Yardbirds together.

absolutely do them all in order, youl get a great feel for them

Any of these songs could have dropped TODAY and still be current. The absolute GOATS.

Did you ever hear GOING TO CALIFORNIA? Great little song🎵

Keep going with the Zeppelin albums!!!

This is a TOP 5 zeppelin song for me...probably TOP 1 driving my car...heavy

"How Many More Times" is based on lyrics from blues singer Albert King's song "The Hunter," and much of the song was derived from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Some other Led Zeppelin reworkings of blues songs include "You Shook Me" and "The Lemon Song." Everyone in the band except Robert Plant got writing credits for this even though Plant was known for re-arranging standard blues songs with his previous band Hobbstweedle.

People forget how young they were early 20's just coming out of their teens

"Well, they call me, the hunter! That's my name. Call me the hunter, That's how I got my fame... Ain't no place to hide, Ain't no place to hide! 'Cause I got you in the sights of my... GUN!!! "

The Greatest "Debut" Classic Rock album Ever !!! 👍 🎶

I was ten years old when I bought this album in 1970; changed my life.

Jimmy was using a violen bow on the guitar at that point where you mentioned it. If someone told u otherwise they were wrong.

You guys get it. I can tell by your comments. I grew up with this. Your dad's comment. I get that too. As back then, it was Zeppelin. Or anything else, at parties. Your dad's music was great too. But Zep fans were hooked

Welcome, my friends,experience the GREATEST BAND EVER!Rock kn!

You were smart going down the rabbit hole and led Zeppelin if you want to know anything about this genre a music of rock and roll starting back in the '70s and the '80s the best way to go

I can't wait to see you guys when you get into the early and mid 70's with Zeppelin..It is an experience that will have you acknowledging their greatness..keep up the great work!!

Love how they slipped in a little BOLERO in the middle. They are so CRAZY GOOD🔥🔥🔥

BEST Zeppelin album.........they came with it.......the GODS of rock.......who makes that kinda sound??// NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just remember the night at the local burger joint hangout with the regulars and there was great excitement when someone said, "come you have to hear this band". Eight track tape in the parking lot! I had never heard any music like this. I guess I never will hear a band like this again.

Stupendous 🔥🔥🔥🔥 About 10 Switchups. They are the Masters of that. What a ride❗

This is what you call the perfect album, there is not one bad song. Some records are perfect side B. This had both. when they all jammed at the first time. they all knew they would be bigtime. Peter Grant Zepplin's manager made damn sure that wherever they toured Zeppelin would get 90 percent profit, if not, you won't have Zeppelin play in their arena. It helped for Grant being 6ft5 and huge, no one messed with him lol. The studio tricks were a huge influence of Les Paul the man, the creation of the Les Paul guitar, the innovator, he also knew how to multitrack and where to put the mics. That's where you get the big sound. Jimmy Page studied how to record long before Led Zep while he was one of the top session guitarists out there.

Together for weeks. Recording this in literally hours. If I'm correct. Been a fan since this album was released. Second album I owned I think. First was Sly and the Family Stone. These guy changed my taste for life

They are just genius , end off& will be played FOREVER ❤🎸🎸💕🥰

Saw them live in 1973. I was 17 still in awe to this day of their incredible talent. No other band comes close.

Back in high school and college - especially for finals week - i used to start with Led Zeppelin play all 8 albums in order… then repeat. Made studying fun. When ever i heard Good Times Bad Times it was time to go again!

Great album, great review. You do such a better job than many other channels because you actually can pick apart things and you have a true appreciation for the music. I was 16 when this came out and it was up there with me. Transitioned me from psychedelia to hard rock and paved the way for my taste for punk rock. A break through album at the time.

How many more times will I listen to this treasure? Plenty. Great job, guys

I sure appreciate you guys reviewing the Zep songs. I’ve been a Led head for 40 years!

Mind-blowing!

So talented for four young men🤘❤️

I got a real treat for you listen to all the original artists of the blues songs with zeppelin versions

The GOAT!! Only ZEPPELIN!!🎶🎸💙💛

My favorite album of all time. Sooo many more memories

Great job guys. Keep it going. These guys are unmatched.

This band is the GOAT of bands. They were so close that unfortunately when John died...that was the end. They didn't want to get another drummer. It all ended in 1980.

The "other" song played with a bow on the guitar. An excellent take of each members talents.

One of my personal favorites.

This album is known to cause Multiple Eargasms!! All Hail thee KINGS of ROCK 4 EVER!!!

Jimmy did use a bow on HMMT. You can watch them do it live in Denmark when they were very, very young.

You guys get all the nuances of their music and their playing. Love that. Thanks.

Led Zeppelin II is next please. Can't wait for you to hear Moby Dick

I was 17 when this album came out. It was a complete departure from music that had preceded it and as a young man close to the height of testosterone blood concentration, it REALLY hit home. All the Blues wailing about women! Anyway, the first time I heard the album, I just couldn't wrap my head around how good it was on a variety of levels. Musically, lyrically, the "mood" of the album, the musicianship, the vocals - everything about it. Now, at 70, it's entertaining to live vicariously through other people's first "hearing". Well done.

Awesome..This is my favorite Zep song of all, it really showcases everything they do. Excellent point about Plant singing blues over a rock beat...never thought of it that way allthough it should have been so obvious...lol

Great jobs you guys! Can never go wrong with The Mighty Led Zeppelin. Since you mentioned Earth, Wind, & Fire and Stevie Wonder, how about a reaction on "I'll Write A Song For You" (EWF) and "Joy Inside My Tears" (Stevie) both one of each others greatest "sleepers" and actual masterpieces!

Helleva debut album and yes we all knew back then just how good this band was lol.

I saw LZ in Cleve OH in 1977 Presence Tour. This channel is awesome. Keep it up gentlemen.

It is incredible how great every single song is on the album... It starts off with the bar set so high, and then just crushes it straight through... As you go forward, II, III, IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti... they cover so much ground, Houses of the Holy in particular, they essentially become a whole different band, but somehow keep the bar at that crazy high level... PG is so wild, but also great... basically, There isn't a single weak track until their 7th album (6 is a double album), and even in the 7th album, it's still good...

Solo Robert Plant(Zeppelin vocalist) ~ Sea Of Love, Big Log, In The Mood, Heaven Knows, Little By Little, Tall Cool One, Ship Of Fools...!

FIRE!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
