"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song originally recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. Led Zeppelin recorded a cover version of the song for their fourth album, commonly referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV," which was released in 1971.
The Led Zeppelin version of "When the Levee Breaks" features a heavy drum beat played by John Bonham, which has become iconic in the world of rock music. The song also features bluesy guitar riffs and powerful vocals from Robert Plant.
The song was recorded in Headley Grange, a mansion in Hampshire, England, and the drum sound was achieved by placing Bonham's drums at the bottom of a stairwell and using microphones to capture the natural reverb of the space.
"When the Levee Breaks" has been covered by many other artists over the years and is considered a classic of both blues and rock music.

Exactly the British groups listened to and in turn the influence was reflected in so many of their songs.

@TGriffiths-ve6nw Ай бұрын

It's what they had to work with. There was nothing else to turn to. It was the black blues artists that the British groups learned all of the basics from. They didn't try to directly copy it but used it as their guiding inspiration. They idolized those black bluesmen. Rory Gallagher played with Howling Wolf on some sessions and was praised by him for "getting it". Rory wrote a song called "Mississippi Sheiks" which is a tribute to the The Mississippi Sheiks who were a group of black artists who performed and were very popular back in the day. I have only seen one video of Rory performing the song and it is great. The vocals are a little muted but the guitar work is exceptional. Definately worth taking a look at . I watch it quite a bit . I really appreciate it. Rory was great!

I heard in an interview or something that when the band played on stage the group ended up gravitating around the drums. The members during the shows all ended up crowded into an area that was close by the drumming. I also heard in the mid 70s Robert Plant was growing restless and wanted to spread his wings and explore other music without the band. Plant had also had a huge fight with his bff Bonzo and was so upset he told Peter Grant he wanted to leave the band. Or have Bonzo fired.. Grant told Plant he could go out on his own but, he would never fire Bonzo. He would fire Plant before Bonzo as he was more needed and important then Plant. Grant knew the value of Bonzo and how irreplaceable he was. Bonzo held the key and with JPJ were the driving engine of the group while Page and Plant were the showmen and enterrainment.

Led Zeppelin was one of so many Brit bands that ELECTRIFIED classic Black blues that "invaded" England in the 1940s and 1950s after America kind of turned its back on the blues. A whole new world for the rebirth of THE BLUES to impress and entertain. Throughout the 1960s, English musicians saw the beauty and heartache of the blues and plugged them into their electric guitars and keyboards plus large drum kits that morphed into the BRITISH INVASION, bringing The Blues back to where they started, the U.S.!

@DianeLake-sw3ym Жыл бұрын

They also listened to newer blues like from the 60s with Stax and Chess records. This was cutting edge to those english lads and they listened, learned and sat and played it and honed it until it was perfection. No white guy in America could ever come close to the sheer raw and and true blues background of House of the Rising Sun as Eric Burdon. And the Stones breathed blues music. Same with Page and Plant.

back in '69 zeppelin performed a Live mini concert at a Danish television studio to promote their first album and introduce the band to the public. they performed on a small stage in front of about 30 kids that had no idea that what they were about to witness would go down in history as one of the most pivotal moments in Rock history. Plant and Bonham were in their late teens and Page and Jones were in their early 20's. they performed 4 songs, "communication breakdown", "dazed and confused", "babe I'm gonna leave you" and "how many more times". the entire concert is like 30 minutes long but OMG is it worth it.

Even I, back in the day, who danced like SpongeBob Square-pants with a dash of MMA training, would have been on my feet for that performance. I am sure it is a cultural thing, but to my American brain, it looked like they put mannequins in the Audience. Eventually '--she and her gang got them to clap in time.

Probably go with Elvis. Led Zep took inspiration, rifts, lyrics or sometimes the whole song. Elvis on the other hand, just took the whole song every time. Thing is alot of very early artists did. Even some early blues and jazz was covers or heavily influenced by folk songs. Thing is nobody ever had rights to songs before this early stage of music, so there was nothing to sue for. Most people later either paid, gave credits or gave a pay out before using the music.

@neillenet291 Жыл бұрын

@seeks252 Elvis never actually took songs from anyone. Unlike Zeppelin, Elvis didn't put out covers without ctediting the original composers. In fact, songwriters were clamoring to get Elvis to record their songs. Leiber and Stoller in particular. And unlike zeppelin, who in many cases did not credit the original composer until they were legally compelled to, the songs Elvis recorded and properly credited brought recognition and payment to the composers.

The particular drum sound on this recording itself is legendary, and a whole myth and mystery has arisen around it. Sometimes cited as the most sampled drum sound of all time. Though it is believed there was some kind of echo used on the bass drum, it is often said that the natural sound of the room he was recording in was particularly unique, and accounts for much, as well, of course, as the very heavy hit of the guy playing the drums...

Kashmir from Led Zeppelin should be your next one (if you haven't done it already). It's been sampled so you may have heard some of it already, without knowing it's from Led Zeppelin. It's Robert Plant's favorite song from their music. Great reaction guys!!

It really does seem to encapsulate that drive and desperation around a heavy storm and the rising water on the levees down south. I am not a fan of covers in general but every song Zeppelin covered, they really mastered it.

I really enjoy your Zeppelin reactions and would love it if you reacted to them more frequently. ;) They were in a class of their own and no one could touch what they did. Pure magic. Led Zeppelin was composed of four of the most gifted musicians out there. Truly the GOATs. Jimmy Page - guitar/genius producer John Paul Jones - bass/keys John Bonham - drums/percussion Robert Plant - vocals/lyrics/harmonica Edit: If you want to do a deep dive, I suggest starting with album 1, track 1 and just keep on going. Incredible to think how young they were when they recorded their first two albums (aged 24, 22, 20, 20 respectively).

I was in a freshman in high school when this came out. John Bonham on the drums. He died in 1981 and they decided they wouldn't go on as a band without him. They got together in 2007 for concert with John Bonham's son on drums, and in 2012, it was put in Celebration Day documentary. Hope you check it out. It is perfection!

Guys, I am so glad that you understand the music. LZ plays so much blues. And they also were able to move beyond. I love the fact you do as my mother who was a classical concert pianist said, if the music moves you its great. One of my saddest days was, we were together driving down by River des Peres and they announced that Louis Armstrong had died. She pulled over we both hugged and cried.

They brought the blues to a new level to honor their heroes. Enjoy your journey with Zeppelin, cause there's a whole lot more to explore. You might want to check out "The Roots of Led Zeppelin" and see what gave them their foundation for music.

@kikivon3501 Жыл бұрын

Their music catalog covers many many genres, but I would say blues is by far the most represented. Zeppelin covered many many American blues artists , Memphis mini, Willie Dixon, lead belly etc etc etc. They idolized and emulated the original American blues masters . This drum riff has been heavily sampled. It’s one of the most recognizable riffs ever. In my time of dying You shook me Since I’ve been living you

I remember when I first played this vinile on my home stereo I was only 10. This music has stayed with me my whole life. They were four guys from London, they changed the global perception of blues music and shaped at least two generations of hard rock/blues lovers. These guys are simply giants, and also incredibly humble and down to earth. You've gotta love them, there's no other way.
