They invented it and a whole lot more. They set the standards that few could match !!!!

The song is specifically about the viking invasion of the British Isles from 794 Ad, the land of the midnight sun / ice and snow / where the hot springs flow ( volcanic springs) are all references to scandinavia. The singer Robert Plant is very interested in early British history so you get references to it in various songs also Brit. literature in others- these are 4 intelligent men who are master musicians so you get excellent songs on a wide variety of subjects. They also sparkle with humour - they had just done concerts in Iceland and had a very nice time so they wrote this song for fun. The outstanding guitar playing is Jimmy Page who is the founding member and the producer. The drummer is John Bonham widely regarded as the greatest rock drummer and the base / keyboard player is John Paul Jones. They are also strongly influenced by the early american blues men and dounmatched blues rock, but they do folk /acoustic rock, they get very funky and then their are songs which are uniquley them , you will need to discover stairway to heaven hopefully the live version at Madison square garden from 1973 . ON the subject of young people becoming old , they did a reunion concert in London in 2005 called celebtation day when they were in their 60's you should try Kashmir from that, age is no limit when you are this talented. 20 million people wanted tickets for that concert. Jimmy Page is 80 now and is still the coolest man on the planet. You are going to be very pleasantly suprised- by everything they did.

This was used in at least three movies, that I know of. Shrek, Thor:Ragnarok and School of Rock.

Welcome to the world of the force of nature that is Led Zeppelin. When music was real.

They will provide you with an endless supply of music. No two songs will ever be alike, but each a masterpiece in its own way. LZ is arguably the best.

There you go! Some of us have been listening to for 40, 50 years!

You must see Since I've been Loving You performed live at MSG!

1973 at MSG live performances of "Since I've Been Loving You" & "Stairway to Heaven" are a must

Immigrant Song is pure Led Zeppelin from their 3rd album released in 1970. A top act from the classic rock generation.

Imagine having a band with four individuals who could carry any band on their own with musicianship and songwriting yet you have them all in one band and they work so well together and know what their roles are within that band. Zeppelin was one of the tightest bands in every respect. One of if not the greatest rock band of all time!

It's about the Viking invasions.

You have only experienced the "Tip" of this deep iceberg. Keep them coming, Thanks Rosalie!!

Zeppelin is the band everyone try’s to emulate since 68 Rock gods

Led Zepplin - "Since I've been Loving you" is a must listen, live performance !!!

The word 'immigrant' was mostly a passive kind of word until recently. It didn't have a huge political slant back when Zep was around, blowing our minds with each new album.

Some of us old folks are STILL rocking out to this music as well as seeing new bands at concerts and festivals. 🙂

“Since I’ve Been Loving You” Live at MSG.

Since I’ve been Loving you…live at MSG is epic! You will not be disappointed.🎉🎉🎉

The drumming is masterful on this track. He flips to Jazz and back to keep the whole thing in line....with an improv feel. Genius.

“Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin has been called the greatest two minutes in music.

I would listen to it again, with John Paul Jones as the bassist. The powerful cohesion between the entire collective is unparalleled. :)

I really do hope she reacts to " Since I've Been Loving you " live at Madison Square Garden.

Since I’ve been loving you off Led Zeppelin 3 album

Bonham used to play jazz which explains how comfortable he is with shifts in what he's playing. A lot of drummers that emerged in the late 60s in the UK had jazz training because when they were kids this sort of thing didn't really exist so they learnt jazz and blues.

John Bonham's drumming is even better on the opening track of their debut album. "Good times bad times" has a base drum thundering out in 4/4 time with triplets pressed in for emphasis. Unlike now, he is doing this with one foot using only one pedal. Fools in the rain is polyrhythmic - He plays the high hat in 4/4 time with swing triplets, intermitting ghost notes with the snare in a 12/8 time. At the SAME time, he plays a half time swing shuffle on the base and snare. Four appendages and two different time signatures at the same time. He keeps this all together despite the bass guitar and 6 string guitar playing a 12/8 signature. Giving this song a syncopated triplet feel. kind of a Latin swing, Perdie shuffle feel.

Very Early 70s stuff before they dominated. 🇦🇺 Robert Plants signature voice that cannot be reproduced.

Need to do "Kashmir" Live from Celebration Day Concert. Epic performance. There last Concert together.

Wait until you hear the soulful drumming in “when the levy breaks”. Revolutionary!

no gizmos, no gadgets, nor fancy electronics....LeD Zeppelin was truly the Hammer Of the Rock Gods

Jimmy Page the lead guitarist Robert Plant the vocalist John Paul Johns bass guitar And John Bonham on Drum, Check out their best songs Stairway to heaven, Kashmir, Since I've been loving you, no quarter and more.

That was the opener for their epic three hour concerts back in the day. Show me one other band that could even come close to their energy, talent, creativity and endurance...there are none. Zeppelin is the GOAT.

I'm not into rock music, but Led Zeppelin is just brilliant

This really about the Vikings

You can tell by the look on your face your mind is BLOWN !!!! You are hooked

The Vikings did much carnage in the early historical British Isles era and left a lot of Red Head off spring behind especially in Scotland ..Check out something from the 1st album Babe I'm Gonna Leave you and Dazed and Confused

Jimmy is the undisputed champion of chord progressions. Practically every single song on the the first 7 albums were hit songs!

This is a Zeppelin original!!! I was a teen in the 70s...greatest time of my life! It was about the Viking invasion of Britain

greatest rock band ever.

Would love to have seen Ian Gillan wrap his vocals around this song. If you really want to be blown away by Zepp listen to the live performance of Dazed and Confused. Absolute masterpiece.

Greatest guitar player in history!

Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of ALL TIME

Kashmir, live by LZ in Knebworth in 79, is amazing, as is anything they did at MSG!

This edited version was a nice twist of a song I’ve heard a million times. Great take thx!

Wander ALL around their catalog. Their talent is endless. Since I've Been Loving You, In My Time of Dying, The Rain Song, Fool in the Rain. My fingers would be too tired to list them all.

The mountain of memories with Zep. Since i was born,1969.

Greatest band of all time.

I first saw Led Zeppelin as a young man in my early 20s in 1969 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive music along with at least 200,000 other fans. Robert Plant was from my town in the West Midlands of England, along with many other famous bands and musicians of that era especially. It was a wonderful time for music lovers. Immigrant song was specifically about the Vikings, with their "threshing oars" From the "land of ice and snow" and the "midnight sun" emigrating around the Northern Hemisphere, also referring to the Hammer (of Thor).

Rosalie in a leather jacket, U are the Rocker. I'm delighted that today's young generation enjoy listening to the greatest rock band ever like me and others who were enjoying not only listening but being at their magnificent concerts.

I am a Zepp fan, a history fan, an Assyrian.. so many parts of my brain was stimulated by this video🤣🤣

Thank you for your intelligent commentary! Sometimes folks just can't see the forest through the trees and realize how we all fit into history! ✌

There are so many to look into; Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, Good times bad times, black dog, Achilles last stand, heartbreaker, babe Im gonna leave you...

Good to see women still being educated today by the biggest band ever to step on a stage thee very very best ever !

History is the key. Once we forget History we are bound to repeat it. By the way love the zeppelin reactions. You've only scratch the surface

Greatest rock band of all time! So many songs, have fun. Have you ever heard of an electric clavinet? Beautiful instrument, Custard pie features this instrument. And obviously Whole Lot of Love comes with a side of Custard Pie.

the good old days i miss them

Welcome to the rabbit hole, Rosalie. Greatest songs and greatest musicianship - unmatched since. Next song? You could throw a dart, but 'Since I've been loving you' will freak you out (studio version first).

The greatest rock band of all time..... nobody, but nobody, in spite of some brilliant bands, comes even close to ZEP. Losing John Bonham deprived us all of plenty more brilliance. RIP John, you are sadly missed.

Great reaction and comments, Rosalie! Happy to see you listen to another Zeppelin song. Hope you continue on this journey; they have lots of amazing music.

After seeing your reaction I couldn’t watch another one for hours, you ,you, you good!

number one selling rock band, the Beatles, number two Led Zeppelin. Can we all get with the reality please!!!!

The Rain Song is a Master piece ❤

in the middle of a mini binge watch of your reactions to led zepp, welcome to the world of music i joined in the 1960s it still has not been beaten now at the age of 70 and suffering from tinnitus its the best excuse ive ever had for turning up the volume

I had a neighbor and he still lives there his name was thor he was from Iceland. He tried to wear out this album and this song was his favorite the song is definitely about Icelandi.

This was the song that hooked me into a Zeppelin fan . I remember I had the 45 RPM . On the flip side was Gallows pole.

Led Zeppelin are masters of musical diversity. And while they helped pave the way for heavy rock/metal, most bands following them couldn't achieve the beautiful synthesis of electric/acoustic, the heavy lead and the lighter than air zeppelin that these guys were capable of.

I love your almost overwhelming observance of the talent of all of the different members, .... BEFORE this current era of computer processed music. Talent pure. Today's "processed" artists can't sniff Led Zeppelin.

Your initial reaction reminds me very much of how we first reacted when this album was released. "Wow!"

This song has been used in several movies, including Shrek The Third. Its iconic opening fits perfectly in many situations. Also for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, School Of Rock and Thor: Ragnarok.

BEST BAND EVER!!

Absolutely wonderful reaction. I see myself at 14 years old searching for Immigrant Song. It wasn’t so easy back then if you didn’t know the album. We would call the local radio station over and over until they would play it.

Jimmie Paige and Bonzo created a total new sound where the drum carried part of the melody, changing the meter to compliment the guitar.

I'm British but my background is a lot more complicated, I think a lot of us can say something similar. It's so hard to emigrate these days everyone is closing the door it feels like, that's why I love to travel, I'm an adventurer and don't feel tied to any one place. Wherever I am if I'm happy...that's home. There are so many amazing, funky Led Zeppelin songs you'll love. (Slightly) less obvious ones for me are Houses of The Holy, The Ocean, and Fool In The Rain. I hope you check them out and take care!

It's no coincidence that Led Zeppelin is the best band in the world

That was the first song I heard by Zep when I was 12, in 1971. Still one of my favourites, and this is surely my favourite version. And: It is so reassuring to listen to someone from the younger generation listening to "my" music, and actually understanding nowing a thing or two about how music (and some other things) work.

Also, LedZep was honoured at the Kennedy Centre Awards, and Heart covered Stairway to Heaven, featuring Jason Bonham on drums. One of the greatest performances of that song ever. Robert Plant was in tears.

In My Time of Dying, Black Dog, Kashmir, When the Levy Breaks, Rock'N'Roll, Since I've Been Loving You ... the list goes on, all different all awesome ...

Sometimes it amazes me people never heard of Zeppelin before. The best rock of all time. Over any other band period

Thank you for this. Enjoyed your reaction. Made me realise how lucky I am to have lived through the time when they were current. The trouble is that we took it all for granted. They stood out as a great band, but there were many, many great bands bursting onto the music scene at that time and we all assumed it would go on forever.

I am so impressed by your words and the use of history around the world. Nice. Your comments about age is always moving I was a young adult win 1972 and am now considered a 'senior.' Crazy,

I remember seeing them live May 10, 1969 at UC Irvine, it was amazing.

Great appreciation and analysis of these musical pioneers. Beautiful imaginative perspective on this song. Thank you, Rosalie.

There are so many kick ass Rock Songs that you all now reactors do not know about! The 70’s had so many Rock Hits and it continued in the 80’s! Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Who, Stones, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Thin Lizzy, Kansas, Heart… and the 80’s Van Halen, Def Leppard, Guns and Roses(not a fan), Poison, Skid Row, 90’s Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM, Nirvana, not a big fan of the rest of the 90’s. Follow it all because what’s now was started back then! The Band carrying the torch and passing them all is the Warning!!!

I was 10 years old and this was recorded 1972 I was in fourth grade. The small website says by glucose numbers Been into them since I was eight years old 1970

GOATs.

Great and honest reaction, congratulations !! As everybody i need to see you reacting to any song from MSG live concert, its gonna blow your mind starting with stairway to heaven and since ive bern loving you , rock'n roll , black dog , whole lotta love , going to California , ect. ect. Keep on rocking beauty ❤ Greetings from Barcelona

Roasalie. You've won me over. Great, thoughtful reaction. Thank you.

“Immigrant Song” was used in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” (2011) by Trent Reznor, in Shrek III, and in Jack Black’s “School of Rock” (2003)

You’ve now entered a rabbit hole that is extremely diverse and deep, indeed!

If your jumping into Zeppelin...Madison Square Garden 1973 - LIVE is widely considered vintage Zeppelin....."Since Ive Been Loving You; No Quarter; Rainsong; Moby Dick; Song Remains The Same..." seriously...the entire show is a master class in Rock n Roll virtuoso.

This song kicks so much ass! Hail to the ASA Gods of the North! "We are your Overlords!" I love when you do a dissection of the lyrics after the song! Keep doing that!

Yes Led Zeppelin is the best, as is The Doors, Credence Clearwater Revival, but have you seen Stevie Ray Vaughan the best guitarist of all time, a magician, the only guitarist to do covers of Jimi Hendrix and had Jimi smiling down from heaven ! Try Stevie Ray Vaughan do Texas Flood Live at the El Mcambo. But yes everything Led Zeppelin did was stellar including Stairway to Heaven. I was a teen when all these masters came on the scene. 😊

Hi Rosalie, I especially liked your review and breakdown of the lyrics at the end of this video. It added another in-depth dimension to the review. I could see that you were enjoying the guitar solo. Nice one!!, Leslie ❤

As someone of Viking/Norse ancestry, this song has special meaning and never fails to give me goose bumps and send my blood coursing.

Damn. Good breakdown Rosalie. Heavy insights.

Your jaw will hit the floor when you hear Since I’ve been Loving you…live at MSG

This song was written by Robert Plant 6 days before this performance

Every live performance will blow your mind! Please do more! This was used in several movies including Thor Ragnorock. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET!

70’s and 80’s were the best times of all times and gone forever, I like to go back and freeze time

This was written in Iceland after the 1st concert in a tour....The band was so impressed by the hospitality they recieved, it inspired them to write a song about the ancestors of that island nation whom had also played a large role in the history of their own land.

Welcome to Zeppelin. Apart from their masterwork, Stairway to Heaven, to get the full range of their brilliance, you have to do Kashmir, Going to California, Rock & Roll, and Ramble On.
