Thanks guys!! I kept telling y’all, good southern boys should know this song 😆😊 I’m glad that you got to this one before the version by A Perfect Circle. No offense to them, in fact I think hearing this one first will give you a greater appreciation for that version… vastly different but equally amazing. The Beastie Boys actually used this beat in one of their songs. Btw there’s a bit of a history lesson on Chicago blues in the Foo Fighters “Sonic Highways” documentary (the Chicago episode)… Dave Grohl interviews Buddy Guy and he talks about how he left New Orleans, came to Chicago, met and became dear friends with Muddy Waters. Worth a watch 😊

While I do have other bands I consider my "favorite", I will always rank Zeppelin as the number 1 rock band ever because of their robust catalog, and influence on countless other bands over the decades. Once you guys get into more deeper cuts of their catalog, you'll see just how many amazing, important songs they have. IMO Zeppelin is a band that will never be forgotten.

Jimmy found an old house in the country and noticed the high ceilings and old wooden structure gave the drums that extra acoustic punch. The location was remote so the band could get away and have a more creative atmosphere. Jimmys mastery of the recording studio was genius.

A couple interesting things about When the Levee Breaks. 1. It was originally a blues song written in the 1920s after the great Mississippi flood. Led Zeppelin kept the lyrics and feel, but it is a greatly reimagined version of the original. 2. Bonham's drums sound so amazing - he set up at the bottom of the stairs in Headley Grange (castle?) and mics were hung up the flights of stairs to catch all the deep echoes. 3. A Perfect Circle has a pretty cool reimagining of this song on their anti-war album eMOTIVe.

Another reminder that John Paul Jones is in a supergroup with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Dave Grohl called Them Crooked Vultures.

Chicago Blues scene was pretty iconic. Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, lots of legendary musicians. A lot of record labels were in Chicago around that time which made kind of a hub for musicians.

@jpdemer5 Жыл бұрын

The reference in the song to Chicago comes from the fact that the great flood of 1927 forced tens of thousands of sharecroppers off of the land, and many of them migrated north to Chicago to find work. That's how Chicago ended up with a large Black population, and became a center for jazz and blues music.

@severallemmings Жыл бұрын

@jpdemer5 thanks for mentioning that. Very true. The record labels would have been nothing without the heart and resilience of the Black community which nurtured the very talented musicians we remember today. It's easy to zone in on specific dates and musicians, but it's also important to give credit to the working folk and amateur musicians who paved the way for them, not just inspiring other musicians, but creating the very cultural bedrock upon which all modern Western popular music is built, all while simultaneously weathering great personal and communal adversity on multiple fronts. Not being Black myself, it's neither my place to speak at length on the numerous atrocities committed against the African continent throughout history nor about the cultural development of the African community which thrived in America despite horrifying circumstances, but I do believe that Blues music will always be a testament to the unbreakable spirit of African American culture and community.

There aren't many bands like that around anymore. I came of age in the 70's, which was the height of Zep's success. It's so good to see people who weren't raised on them giving them a listen and appreciating them for the geniuses they are.

Those drums in the beginning are often sampled. "Kim" by Eminem, Beastie Boys "Rhymin & Stealin", "Lyrical Gangbang" Dr. Dre, "Midnight" by Ice T. The harmonica part has a reverse echo on it. This song was written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Many other artists have performed and recorded versions of the song.

A levee (French for "raised") is a natural embankment formed by silt deposit in a slow-flowing river. The river gradually rises between the levees until the surface is above the surrounding countryside. Levees are reinforced by engineering, but in heavy storms they can still break, flooding huge areas of land. The flood the song describes led many Southern farm workers to migrate to the Northern industrial cities.

Another great reaction, guys! One of the things that's rarly talked about with the Blues/Rock connection is that Black music (Jazz, Blues, Gospel, etc) wasn't played on the radio or readly available on vinyl in the U.S. back in the 50's and early 60's, but it WAS in England. That's why all those amazing British acts like the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, The Who, and Led Zeppelin had such a leg up on American musicians. They grew up with and were heavily influenced by music genres like the Mississippi Delta Blues while their contemporaries in the states didn't have those influences.

Zeppelin had a variety of influences some (not all) of them are the blues (obviously), rock and roll, rockabilly, jazz, Motown, West Africa, India, folk, Celtic - they had diverse enough interests to start then built upon to create some unique pieces. In this, they kept the vocal speed the same but slowed the instruments down a half step in the mix to help give it a thick, heavy, sludgy groove. There was backwards echo on the harmonica and different vocal treatments done to the vocals. Native Chicagoan here and we love our blues.

Many of the African American blues musicians were forgotten about in the United States post world war 2… the youth in England loved them and imported them to play in the UK and got albums from US troops, etc. post war England was very depressed with lots of orphans and fatherless children… many of the British Invasion bands started as a result, most of whom had covered blues songs on their early albums, The Rolling Stones for example didn’t write all of their own songs until their album aftermath… the moody blues, pink floyd, The Who, many more, all were blues cover bands that developed into more rock as time went on

I enjoyed your analysis of this track guys. It's so true that music is a universal language. Many British musicians in the 1960s obsessed over the blues and to an extent, American blues artists were more respected in the UK than in their own country. We idolised Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Big Bill Broonzy, Willie Dixon and many more. To some extent, the "British Invasion" brought the blues back to mainstream America and finally gained these artists the acclaim they surely deserved.

You are so right about Chicago being the blues recording city up here in the north. I am a 72 year old rocker and I went with my friend to Chicago where he recorded a 45rpm record in studio B at Chess Records Studios, back in 1969. It was the home of the American blues and it was amazing there. Dave Purple (R.I.P.) was former bass player for the 1960s Chicago group, "The Cryan' Shames" and he was handling the sound board recordings. His nickname was "Grape". Heh. Keep up the fine Led Zep reviews. (I saw them live back in 1975 at Long Beach Arena, Calif. $7.50 per ticket and they gave us a 3 hour "tour".) lol Dig it! Peace.

Came for the reaction to an iconic Zeppelin tune, stayed for the intelligent commentary, humor, and chemistry between y'all! Can't go wrong with Zeppelin. For real. Take the Zeppelin Challenge: Contrive some way to choose ANY one of their songs at random,, and prepare to be WOWED!

I "gotta whole lotta love" for Zeppelin, and I know that many in the mainstream might prefer the song of "the forbidden riff", but in my opinion "When the Levee Breaks" is their "heaviest". It's a gritty, soulful, delta-blues, harmonica & slide-guitar lamentation. For that reason alone it has always been my favorite. "Going to California" is another favorite, but with a completely different style.

One of my faves from Zoso! This reminds me of listening to the CD on repeat during a week out of school thanks to ear infections. Getting the 'Led' out while doing school work & cross stitching!! 🤪

This is probably my favorite song ever. It’s hard to say why, but there is just so much goodness and talent to this.

A true classic off of Led Zeppelin IV, the album that also brought us Stairway to Heaven and several other great songs.

Great reaction thank you two.If you react to the Heart cover of Led Zeppelin's the Battle of Evermore live...You will see those two sisters crush it with guitar play,and vocal performance...I don't think it was reacted to by anyone yet.But once they see you guys break the ice,they will rush to get in on it ! Have a great day.
