I've always thought the best Led Zeppelin song is.... the one I'm listening to at the time.

I can’t name my favorite Led Zepplin song because I love them all.

To ramble can mean talking without sticking to a point, but it can also mean travelling without any particular end point in mind. It's the latter meaning here. It's about someone who finds it hard to settle down in one place and he's torn between his desire to leave and desire to stay. The music and change of tempo reflect his torn feelings and turbulent emotions. This song was originally written by a woman called Anne Bredon but the music is all their own.

If you're a "Led Head" like l am, then anyone of their songs will do. Saw them soooo many times as a teenager and now l'm one of those Grandma's having a great time watching a new generation enjoying the music that my generation grew up with, l feel like it's giving it new life somehow 🤟😜

One of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs, the 1969 version, nobody does a Primal Scream like Robert Plant !

Ramble.. travel, change, move

This song always meant to me that The Band was going on tour..in the summer. The Tour was calling him. He hates to leave her but he has to go...But he will be back.

Their first album 1969. Led Zeppelin. Babe I'm gonna leave you.

53 years later and their songs are still incredible!!!!!!!!!

Ramble...move on! Yes do Ramble On!

Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times (Danmarks Radio 1969) age of 20 just great

the singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did this!

They have a great song Ramble On.

Back in the day, sayin "I gotta Ramble" was just a general term to mean you have to go, or you need to "make changes". It was used for all types of situations. But it basically all meant the same. Such as calling someone a "Rambling man". Means they never settle too long in one place.

It is an amazing song! Off their first album, Plant was 19 yrs old. This track is the studio version (hint listen to the into, it's an acoustic Guitar. Live Jimmy would use his electric) the live very early concert footage has been dubbed in as have the effects. Whoever put it together did a great job. Ramble was a term used as a slang for someone who would move on, not settling or wanting roots anywhere. Beat Club was a German TV show aired each week from the mid 60's to around the mid 70's. Usually had Live Bands with new albums featured. They'd play a short set of a few songs. If you were a major act trying to make it in Germany, getting on the show would be a huge help.

If you want to check them out when they're in their 60's, watch "Kashmir " from the Celebration Day concert in 2007. This was a reunion concert for which there were 20 million ticket applications. The only replacement was Jason Bonham on drums who stood in for his dad "Bonzo" who sadly passed away

Check out their song Ramble On, it'll answer your question. Love your reactions to Zep.

This song encapsulates the band as good as any song. Ive heard it 10,000 and it still gives me goosebumps at the end.

Check out “The Kennedy Honors” for Led Zeppelin by Heart! It’s an amazing tribute to Led Zeppelin (& emotional). Heart sings Stairway to Heaven wi8th Jason Bonum as the drummer

Rambling can also be traveling with no particular place to go

This is their first filmed performance, I believe. For a German TV show......March of 1969....that same year they did like three tours of the US....and some in Europe.....by the end of that year, they owned Hard rock....

"10 Years Gone"...AMAZING

This and Ten Years Gone are my favorites 😃

This was a promo for their first album Led Zeppelin I.

Beat club was a German music program,check out the old bands 60s and 70s youtube. enjoying your reaction's 👍

Lemon Song.. 😎

The conviction/passion in his voice.... hits a nerve

I love you reaction, i really think that you have to see they performance in 69 on Denmarks Radio! Man, you gonna love, and yes Robert always have this "thing" in led zeppelin albums, and this song " Baby i'm gonna leave you" is from their first album called " Led zeppelin I" is a great album and a great experience.

As others have mentioned, this song was originally written by Anne Bredon and was originally recorded by American folk singer Joan Baez. This song is from their first album and is one of the first songs Jimmy and Robert bonded over. When Jimmy first met Robert, he invited him over to see if their personalities and musical interests would mix. When Jimmy played Joan Baez's recording of this and told Robert he planned to turn it more heavy/hard rock, Robert was immediately on board. This is actually the studio cut that they're lip syncing to. When you listen to it again, at one point, you'll hear almost an echo of Robert yelling "...can hear it calling me" which is what he does later in the song. This is a bit of vocal bleed through and was left in. Jimmy didn't mind keeping "mistakes" in the finished product because it added to the vibe.

Yes one of their best. A true classic song.

"I've got to ramble" is like "I gotta bounce", i.e. leave

My wedding song was ‘the rain song”! Awesome song!

I understand this is subjective BUT.... saying this is one of their better songs?? TRUTH BE TOLD.... there isn't a bad Zeppelin song. Every single song is a masterpiece in it's own right.... Love Ya RDiss, but I HAD to point that out!!! :) Keep "ramblin' on" with Zeppelin.... Peace Bro....

Definitely one of my Zep favorites. Displays their musical range with Blues, Classical and Folk influences with their own heavy rock nuance added in. The fact that this level of sophistication came out on their debut album speaks volumes about the maturity of the musicians before they formed Led Zeppelin.

Robert Plant was 19. This was their debut album, and every song is a full-on masterpiece. Best drummer in the world,, may he RIP. Best guitar, best vocals. They hit the music scene and made it their bitch, and we've always been so glad they did!

I agree with you RDiss- I’ve always liked this song, as tough/ depressing as the lyrics are.... he’s conflicted between sowing his oats or staying home (ALLL the time with his love) and being monogamous.

So many concerts what a life. I will always listen to The Zep

“Ramble On” is is great song! “Heartbreaker” is another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Live 2007 O2 arena reunion concert- Kashmir. Amazing to see them in their 60s and still just as good. Very important to understand their true talent

Just amazing!!!

1 ST ALBUM. THE BEST EVER ROCK AND ROLL BAND

You've done the young Zep, now watch them in their sixties. KASHMIR, live at CELEBRATION DAY, with John's son Jason on drums. I swear, it's one of their best live performances EVER. I've seen other reactors do it, but I love your enthusiasm for the greatest band of all time. Love from the UK x ❤️

One thing you need to understand about Zep,they are 2 bands,studio and live. These are 4 virtuoso who support and challenge each other, they are unmatched in rock and roll, the Beethoven of our times as you can plainly hear. I appreciate your ear.

I love all of their songs. They don't have a bad song.

Thanks for your reaction to the best band ever

This is actually the studio version placed over a live video. First album...1969. Plant and Bonham were 19...Jimmy and I think JPJ were 22.

Man RD, I gotta backtrack and check your earlier LZ reactions - if you haven’t done Achilles Last Stand or In My Time of Dying, man those are killers IMHO.

I think he was 20 when he sang that song. Originally sand by the yard birds, which the guitarist Paige was in.

I've not seen that particular recording. I love this song and I really liked this video.

This is a cover of a folk song originated by Joan Baez. They completely rearranged it and made it bluesy and it really took balls to pull this off!

Great song but my favorite is the Rain Song and Fool in the Rain. ✌

My favorite Zepplin song! Thanks!

"I've got to ramble" means he is a wonderer, traveler, he's going on a walk about...cant be tied down or stay in one place for too long, but when he's done, he always comes back home

Good reaction💓 I love Led Zeppelin

I've seen this before, this was their first recorded appearance. It was done on a Danish show. Ramble on is also a term used when we're leaving to explore without any particular destination in mind, just away from where we currently are. I'm often told I have a gypsy soul that likes to ramble. LZ also has a song titled Ramble On. They didn't pay for this. They were guests on a show in Denmark. It was late 1968 or early 1969.

one of the best jams of alllllll time sad and melancholy...mournful

This track was on their 1st album, which was recorded in 30 hours!

They actually have a song Ramble On. I gotta go on my way.

It’s from their first album in 1969 and this looks like an early tv show production. Yes, very early. Maybe Beat Club is a British tv program.

With "ramble" he means he's gotta bounce. The middle instrumental part tells you he's talking about war (the sound is similar to air bomb attack alarm siren in WWII in Europe). So he feels he's being called into battle - but he tells her in the end that he'll be back.

Beat Club was a German TV show that showcased lots of new and upcoming bands from all over Europe in the early 70"s. It has its own KZfaq Channel now. There"s hundreds of archive performances including a great early one from Black Sabbath.

Australian's would say, "go walk about". Rambling for the English is walking.

I am a big Led Head as you call us, loving your reactions to this epic band. There is one song I would like to see you react to, The Lemon Song from Led Zeppelin II.... it really showcases JPJ and his bass line is amazing.

I can't say I have a "fav" Zeppelin song but I do enjoy "Dancing Days" by them 👍

This is off their 1st album, they are only a few months old here. They recorded the whole album in just over 30 hours. A lot of bands spend more time than that just putting 1 song together!

And just remember this track is life no computerization at all

This is my favorite Led song.

you know some of this LED ZEP you have been seeing is at a concert in NEW YORK and you know IT TAKES SOMETHING TO PUT NEW YORKERS IN AWE.

RDiss your reactions are EPIC. Seriously enjoy your depth and dedication to the arts.

i have been watching your music reactions only a few days and I AM IMPRESSED BY YOU , YOU ARE GETTING IT, YOUR APPREACTION OF THIS MUSIC SAYS ALOT ABOUT THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE. peace and aloha to you.

This is the studio version. And it looks like a video for it. A great live performance of this is the Danmarks radio performance.

Have you heard Ramble On? It's one of my favorite LZ hits. You'll love it

Jimmy page is an amazing and well know man in the studio. Mixing, adjusting and much more. Fading … everything. He helped the base in rap start.

Led head here! I am learning a lot from ur hip hop reactions! Thank you peace ✌️

One of their best. Love your reactions.

What the song 🎵 is about is Life as a Rock Star ⭐ I'll hang out with you babe till it's Time to tour on the Road again ⁉️ The show must go on babe 🎶✨♥💕

A Ramblin man is a guy whose travels take him to many places, and who takes life as it comes.

Back in the 80's an FM Rock DJ named Mike Harrison was playing a 70's interview of Page, and after Page mentioned this song, the DJ played the first verse of the Joan Baez version, then segued into the intro of the Zep version... It was even the same tempo. Amazing what they did with this song! 🤘🔥💕

I have to say, Led Zepplin is definitely not a band I enjoy that much but watching you react to their music makes me enjoy it more. Thanks.

your GOD OVER EVERYTHING hat is awsome. i was born in 1955 in st albans navy hospital. moved to hawaii in 1961. weve had TONS OF REALLY GOOD MUSIC in my time. LED ZEP has been 1 of the TOP music groups of ALL TIME. YOUR ARE JUST SCRATCIN THE SURFACE of this stuff. peace and aloha to you. ROCK ON.

😂 Now you have to listen to Ramble On by Led Zeppelin... ♥️ Played that song over and over when I left the USMC.

You mentioned the phrase ramble on, well that’s one of their best songs. Ramble on

I'm very easy to please apparently because I see Led Zeppelin and I click/like.

The road is calling him to Ramble. He's a drifter, without roots. He's a lover, he's a back door man (someone who runs out the back when the husband comes in the front door). These are all motifs from the American blues canon that talked about life in the black community after emancipation. Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Big Bill Broonzie were some of the progenitors of the blues and it expression of what the black man faced in his daily existence. This music was very popular in England in the late 50's and early 60's and many blues oriented bands formed and became world famous. The bands (Yardbirds, John Mayall, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin) ripped off these black artists by not always acknowledging that they were lifting not only the music but the lyrics as well. Zep was probably the worst offender. But there's a silver lining. Because of the racism that existed in the 50s and 60s the music of the black man was frowned upon by the white majority. But if white people played the music it eventually became cool to like it. These white American kids then discovered that black Americans gave birth to this music and that the British kids were not the originators. In the late 60's and 70's these black artists began to see interest in their work and they were able to make a buck off of their record sales and concerts that were populated by mostly a white audience. So by ripping off black blues artists these English kids actually gave the blues musicians the opportunity to make a living through their art. Otherwise these guys would have been washing dishes for a living. that's what happened to Professor Longhair. A New Orleans artist who wrote some hits in the early 50's then drifted into obscurity. Around 1970 a fan of his discovered him washing dishes in a restaurant off Bourbon St. and organized a come-back concert. From this resurfacing of the Professor events led to the formation of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival which still goes on to this day and honors Professor Longhair for his work in keeping the New Orleans musical tradition alive. But, I digress. PS I've watched a few Tom MacD vids you reacted to, and.... I like it! (to quote my boy, r Diss. Keep up the good work)

It’s metaphorical being single is calling him “the way it used to do” he wants to take a break during the summer n come back to her after lol

Oh yea LOVE this song, I remember playing it over and over and over on my record player. 63 now, this is my music, wait for us bonzo, we will be there soon now.

Over the hills and far away.

LOVE HOW YOU HAVE GROWN TO BECOME A LOVER OF ZEP AND YOUR APPRECIATION THAT IT IS NOT MIXED WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY

Vocals 🎯

The were so damn great!

Rambling is traveling in their book. They have a song called “Ramble On”. The call of the open road is a constant theme in their work.

Love this group

"Summertime!? That's Cold!" No, No it isn't

Just watched an interview with Carmen Appice/Vanilla Fudge. Led Zeppelin was opening for them and John Bonham was a dan if Carmen's, so Carmen's called Ludwig drums and asked if they could get John a set like his, Carmen said "I think they are gonna be big!!!" Ludwig listened to their album and gave John a new huge set, just like Carmens!!!
