My favourite rock quote. "The fact that there's a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell tells you who's expecting more traffic"

Who else was grinning wider and wider, just waiting for THAT moment to kick in? And knowing Jamel would love it?

I admit that you can eventually fall into a mindset of "Oh, no, not Stairway again". But watching someone hear it for the first time, and anticipating how they're going to react at certain moments, really brings back how great it is.

This song is generally considered a top 5 song in music history. Every single guitarist will tell you its blasphemy to mess up the solo

“I see why y’all upset with the music today.” The more you know. 🙂

Imagine you listening Stairway to Heaven for the very first time again...

When a song still moves you after almost 50 years, that says something. As many brilliant songs that Led Zeppelin put out, this was one of their very best.

To finally hear someone say “ I understand why you don’t like today’s music” Was just what the dr ordered.

"I see why y'all are so upset about the 'music' today!" NAILED IT!!!

4:54 "Does anybody remember laughter?" You Zeppelin fans know you hear it, even though it isn't there.

"Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on."

One of the most iconic guitar solo's in history, by one of the greatest guitar players in history.

You know a song is a masterpiece when people are speechless afterwards

one day a few years ago when my kids were pre and early teens i was upstairs relaxing in bed and I could hear them downstairs playing The Beatles and Led Zeppelin with no coaxing , and I thought to myself , " my work here is done "

Jamel, I'm 74 and was a young adult when this kind of music was made. I got to see concerts by Led Zep, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull, and other classic rock groups, and it really can't be adequately described. I'm glad that recordings and concert videos are still available for subsequent generations to discover and enjoy.

Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" is a straight up religious experience.

Nearly 50 years and this song is still considered one of the greatest rock song written and the guitar solo too.

It is an anthem to a whole generation. There is just nothing like it.

“Anyone here remember laughter?”

“And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last, when all are one and one is all” one of the deepest quotes from any song I’ve ever heard.

“To be a rock and not to roll” That line gets me every time

A am a black male 55 years old. I grew up in Brooklyn NY. I am sad to say I missed out on really enjoying some incredible music when it was new.

I always wanted a magic pill to make me forget my favorite song, just so i could listen to it for the first time again. Watching this channel is kind of like that pill.

The '70s & '80s were the best time to growing up for sure!!!!

Saw them in 1977. I stayed sober for that concert, that tells you how much I wanted to remember every last note of it.

70's and 80's rock music was the greatest period for music. There will never be music as good as or as close as. As Freddy Mercury once quoted: "We are in a golden age of music. There will be a time when technology becomes so advanced that we'll rely on it to make music rather than talent. Music will lose its soul."

This song came out in my 8th grade year. Blew me away. Saw Zep three times live. I am blessed musically!

J-I-M-M-Y FREAKING P-A-G-E!

From Led Zeppelin IV. A masterpiece. Yes, we were very spoiled back in the day.

I wish I could hear this song again for the first time.

My grandpa died in 2016 ( my dads dad ). They gave us a CD of the memories my dad had with him. We watched it and the song that played with it was Stairway to Heaven. I don’t think I’ve been that sad seeing my dad cry that night. This song touches my soul.

There aren't enough like buttons for this reaction.

This music was made nearly 50 years ago. And nothing from today comes close to being as good.

This song changed alot of peoples lives when it first came out, imagine millions of young rock & roll kids hearing this for the first time Back in 1971, I am PROUD to say I was one of them, my generation was Dope AF!

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving....

Led Zeppelin started planning "Stairway" in early 1970 when they decided to create a new, epic song to replace "Dazed And Confused" as the centerpiece of their concerts. Jimmy Page would work on the song in an 8-track studio he had installed in his boathouse, trying out different sections on guitar. By April, he was telling journalists that their new song might be 15-minutes long, and described it as something that would "build towards a climax" with John Bonham's drums not coming in for some time. In October 1970, after about 18 months of near constant touring, the song took shape. Page and Plant explained that they started working on it at a 250-year-old Welsh cottage called Bron-yr-Aur, where they wrote the songs for Led Zeppelin III. Page sometimes told a story of the pair sitting by a fire at the cabin as they composed it, a tale that gives the song a mystical origin story, as there could have been spirits at play within those walls. Page told a different story under oath: When he was called to the stand in 2016 as part of a plagiarism trial over this song, he said that he wrote the music on his own and first played it for his bandmates at Headley Grange in Liphook Road, Headley, Hampshire, where they recorded it using a mobile studio owned by The Rolling Stones. Plant corroborated the story in his testimony. Headley Grange may not be as enchanting as Bron-yr-Aur, but the place had some character: It was a huge, old, dusty mansion with no electricity but great acoustics. Bands would go there to get some privacy and focus on songwriting, as the biggest distractions were the sheep and other wildlife.

For a certain generation, songs like this are wired into your DNA. I can almost play it back in my head like a tape recorder.

First live performance was in my home city, Belfast, Ireland, when few bands would come here because we'd a fek'n war going on. I'll never forget that they did that for us.

What makes this song so memorable and such a classic is that it is built as a continuous crescendo. From first note to last it increases in intensity. That tweaks something in our emotions

Stairway ... Still a masterpiece . And now u know. I remember the first time hearing this I closed my eyes like u to take it all in. You know what, I still do 40 years later. I first heard this as a teen. And as we wind on down the road the piper is calling us to join him.

Stairway is considered the absolute BEST "Rock and Roll" song of all time. It was recorded in 1971 (48 years ago as of this post) and it is still JAM as heck!!!

You know Jamel, all of these reaction videos from all of these people don’t seem genuine at all, except for you. You truly get it. I subjected my daughter to my music when she was growing up, and at the time, she hated it. Now, she’s proud to know and appreciates the music that I grew up on. It brings me such joy to be able to see you discover and appreciate what all of us have known all of these years how great this music and these artists were and still are. Thank you.

Im 67 and still get goose bumps listening to this

I love his reactions, especially to songs like this that I have always loved but probably taken for granted because I’ve heard it so many times, but It’s a whole new experience listening to music I grew up to with someone who has never heard it.👍

"I see why y'all upset with the music today!" NAILED IT.

The expressions on your face are what make this so much fun. It's like discovering this music all over again for us old farts.😆♥️

No one writes songs like that anymore. I could listen to led zep all day.

Born in 58 best music late 50s, 60s, and 70s. You can't beat it from county, rock, pop, and soul, no music in other era's comes close !

there was a time that you did not need dancers on stage to make a show, the band was enough

So fun to see someone grooving to a Jimmy Page solo for the first time.

Thank you for making this world more tolerable by promoting love joy and peace in a world that is so lost. I watched all of your videos that you upload and I find myself walking away feeling better. Thank you.

This song will touch the ears for generations upon generations to come! Absolutely beautiful!!❤

Now this is why this song is considered one of the all time greatest.

One of the most iconic well composed song in all of rock history

THANK YOU..... yes it was AWESOME.... the golden age of rock!

I’m 39 years old. My dad is 62. I don’t remember never not knowing every single word of this song, so I love seeing people’s reactions!

I love how this songs builds... the tension kills me in such a pleasurable way.

I remember when I was a child back in the 80's in Japan, I used to listen to this. This song represented America to me. Although, I didn't understand much English then and also the lyric itself escaped me because I was a child, I still understood its melody. Very seldom in humankind's history when music isn't a music anymore. It becomes a journey.

It was amazing, and I loved every minute of it. I saw that band 5 times, it brings back a lot of great memories

Remembering the sign in the music store in "Wayne's World!". Laughed hard out loud in the movie theater, and audience all turned to look at me! Guess they didn't notice the bit...hysterical!

"I see why y'all are upset with the music today." - This is why I love your channel man. I love seeing how it affects you. Beautiful.

That's the difference between new music nowadays and music that transcends time, Stairway to Heaven evokes passion and emotion where music like Happy are just fads

Most beautiful song I've ever heard. When I was a Vegas pit boss I had a difficult situation and for some reason I began to pound out the base line of this song in answer to the angry shouts of the players. We all started to groove and started singing Stairway to Heaven. Got me a promotion thanks to Led Zepplin.

In the early 80's, this was always the last song at the after-game high school dances. The length of the song gave you extra up-close time with that one girl... but the up-tempo ending was a problem for us 6'5"ers that were reluctant to "fastdance". Such huge problems we had back then :/

It's quite amazing to me that such a small island off the Atlantic coast of Europe could produce so much incredible , inventive life changing music, Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones , The Who, Deep Purple, Kinks, Yardbirds, Moody Blues, Yes, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, Elton John, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The list is endless , there must be something in the rainwater , Bless you Brittania

tears came to my eyes.I love young men and women listening and appreciating...music.

Man you have to watch the cover this really talented band did of Stairway. Just type in "led zeppelin kennedy center honors 2012" and watch the one with 28 million views. It's beautiful watching the band react to the cover. It was profound. Edit: nevermind the next video up is you reacting to it! haha you're the man. This music is apart of all of us in such a profound, deep, meaningful way. I'm glad you're on board now too my friend.

It sounds as if Bonham is pissed because he doesn't get to play until the song's half over, so he's takimg it out on his drum kit.

That my friend is why that is one of the greatest songs ever made.

watching someone's soul touched ...priceless

Two of my favorite things about watching your reaction videos - the way you respond to David Gimour’s guitar playing in Pink Floyd and John Bonham’s drumming in Led Zeppelin, both arguably the best at what they did. Just by intuition alone you picked that up. That speaks volumes about you, brother!

Don't care how many times I hear it, still gives me chills. That was one of those perfect moments with the perfect grouping of people to make the perfect kind of sound to touch people for years to come.

I keep thinking it's Thursday.

Jamal my brother, I hope your channel blows up with millions of subs. You deserve it. I chill and watch your reactions during my lunch hour at work, and so many people crowd around me watching you and discovering new music. I love seeing you discover music that I've loved my entire life. You get it my brother. #respect

One of the greatest songs....EVER💖🙏💖

One of the greatest songs ever written.Jimmy Page's guitar is amazing. Thank You Jamal for this most excellent reaction.

I was listening to Motown in the 60's and early 70's. Led Zeppelin transisted me to Rock and Roll and I never looked back.

I met my granddaughter’s boyfriend for the first time and I liked him the moment I saw him. Why? He had on a Led Zeppelin T-shirt. Nineteen years old.

You sir are a breath of fresh air! Uplifting. I really smile watching you absorb the music and seeing and hearing your reactions. Keep up the great work and thank you. Peace and respect from North East England. Mark.

Their music takes ur mind on a beautiful journey!

This is considered by many as the greatest rock song ever. While there are other Zeppelin songs I love more, this one song has so much mass appeal is why it has this ranking. The beauty, musicianship, lyric writing, hard rock at the end....it’s magic. I’ve seen all of your Zeppelin videos thus far. I’ve been deployed to Kuwait and seeing your reaction to the band I live the most ha helped me get through this. So please do more

A young black man rockin out to Led Zepplin. What a time to be alive.

One of the very very very very best songs ever!!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍🎵🎵🎵amen.

Watched them live at Knebworth 1979, all I remember was the lazer show late at night as I was quite young at the time but very memorible open air concert.

I get chills every time I listen to this song.

I grew up on this music, and it's honestly a joy to see someone experiencing it for the first time!

This song has my favorite Zeppelin quote "There's a feeling I get when I look to the West and my spirit is crying for leaving"

ahh the 70s, the 3 days of "Battle of the bands" rock concerts, all the greats in one place! anyone remember those sweet days? 🤘🤘 missin the 70s

I made my sons listen to this on a car radio driving home from a game and they were like, “this is boring...until...bam!” Ha ha

"I see why yawl upset with the music today. Man." - Jamel's best line eva

And to think that Led Zeppelin practically got booed off the stage the first time that Stairway was played. The crowd changed their minds after the change when the tempo picks up.

My number 1 song of all time....period. I still get emotions and chills after listening to this 1000 times.Every part of this song is legendary and heavenly...I am 67 and I am not ashamed I cried when I heard this the first time.Who makes music like this anymore?

I appreciate his reaction, and he appreciates the music.... and don’t we All wish we could go back in time 😎

Let me just say, listening to this song again with him, gave me chills

A masterpiece...this song tells a beautiful story..it keeps unfolding and opening up..the greatest song known to man. The greatest guitar solo ive ever heard in my life, and I've heard many. Love all ur videos Sir..God Bless

One of my favorite things to watch during these hard times is seeing young people hear led zeppelin for the first time. What you need to know is they got a lot of influence from old blues artists. Black peoples reaction is amazing to me cause they hear that influence in songs like dazed and confused and you shook me etc. The 4 of them were masters of their crafts and if you never had the pleasure if seeing them live you missed out. Bohnam was the greatest drummer EVER. Keep the music going to your children as well people.

Best 11 minutes I’ve spent onYou Tube for a long time. Watching your reaction was priceless, and from your words at the end it’s evident you “get it”. You are now an honorary 60+ year old. Welcome to our world and our experiences

The two things I love about this song: 1. the slow buildup throughout of dynamics and intensity, and 2. the lack of a chorus.

This has been my number one song, since it was released 49 years ago. I was 18 at the time, it struck home and has never been topped. I have listened to this literally hundreds of times, and the hair still stands up on my neck and I get shivers when that moment kicks in!

Our musicians are our poets so beautiful you could cry
