My favourite new reaction channel (along with Verdy). When you do more Zeppelin make sure you do Ten Years Gone from the Physical Graffiti album, which follows Houses of the Holy chronologically.

[@SyedRewinds]

Thanks man appreciate the love, I think I'm doing the catalogue from the very beginning from my next Zep video. Dont want to miss anything

[@ncbandit6409]

@@SyedRewinds Fantastic idea. After Good Times Bad Times comes Babe I'm Gonna Leave You which is a phenomenal song.

[@antarcticorb9197]

@@SyedRewinds great..looking forward to that, and love your take on this stellar band!

[@Ledzepnut]

I completely agree Carl Burnett, I love both of the reactors as well, they really enjoy the music and have good insight

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yep amazing!!

[@janicepriest6578]

“We’ve done four already but now we’re steady, and then they went 1, 2, 3, 4”. Seems like such a treat to hear Bonzo’s voice.

[@SyedRewinds]

Such a cool little intro, loved that count in by Bonzo!

[@juliemanarin4127]

I love that!

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

You hit the nail on the head; the "ocean" is the sea of concert goers and the 3-year old girl who won his heart was Robert's daughter, Carmen. As time went by and this song continued to be in their set list, he would change the lyric to 4 years old. Bonzo could follow the guitar just as easily as the bass and, in fact, Jimmy and Bonzo often used to jam together in studio to practice out various time signatures.

[@joshs2444]

Bro honestly you just need to react to everything Zeppelin put out I guarantee you won't be dissapointed

[@ronniecarter2645]

Truth...

[@amirmohamed8778]

It s the groove man, the groove!! This band is just from an another universe!!

[@PeterTea]

Zeppelin never misses. It's definitely cool to see how they progressed from album to album. You might want to consider listening to them by each album. It's all good and mostly great. The Ocean is the seas of adoring fans that they play in front of.

[@markcollins730]

You have become my favorite reaction channel. Hands down! Off of this album.. my favorite is ‘The Rain Song’

[@neilandfi]

Bullseye ! My all time favourite.

[@joshs2444]

I would recommend Dazed and Confused, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, How Many More Times, In My Time of Dying, Achilles Last Stand, and of course Stairway To Heaven if you haven't already

[@vernhoke7730]

All great choices, but you missed one. One that Robert Plant feels is their best song, I have to agree, Kashmir.

[@phillipharrison7283]

Not forgetting 'Kashmir' please.

[@zosomoso]

Although they’re not known for being a “prog band” The Ocean is an example of them using odd and mixed time signatures (4/4 over 7/8). I would suggest doing one of their epics next: Kashmir Achilles Last Stand In My Time of Dying

[@raid7752]

We've done four already but now we're steady And then they went: One, two, three, four" One of my fav LED ZEP songs!!! Check out the version from the Madison square garden concert.

[@Dan-zq5wt]

The live video for this at Madison Square Garden 1973 is just amazing. So much power, swagger and charisma, it’s ridiculous. This is truly one of the greatest riffs in rock history. Page is just a brilliant master.

[@Doobwa]

You can't leave out John Paul Jones Bass playing that adds that perfect complementary Pulse rythym to this song!

[@philshorten3221]

Something like :- "The Immigrant Song" LIVE or "Since I've Been Loving You" LIVE Would definitely help you see why "getting the led out" became such a big thing.

[@chrisbarlow2131]

For me The Ocean is a feel good song by Led Zep. It's a celebration of their music liberating them as a band and as individuals. Wonderful stuff. Thank you

[@arnoldcox9128]

They took what rock n roll was before them and they made it WAY better

[@vintagetrikesandquads4012]

I never thought of "the ocean" as as huge stadium of people, but I think you're right. The rest of the lyrics make more sense that way.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

They never made a boring song. Not one. Even the most whimsical of them like The Ocean or Living, Loving Maid draw you in. Misty Mountain Hop is another sleeper.

[@dalmac5978]

The best driving song. One of my favorite Zeppelin tracks, but there are many.

[@roadamerica33]

got to stop it after the few couple Page riffs. This is arguabley my favorite Zepplin songs. I love everything about it. Page on guitar and Bonham on drums. How they play off each other. My lord. Beautiful musicianship.

[@macksparky07]

I recommend you react to Led Zeppelin's Achilles Last Stand, in my opinion it is his best work

[@tannonwraith4692]

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR A BAD SONG FROM LED ZEPPELIN, I GUARANTEE IT.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

For This Classic All One Needs To Do Is Put On Your Headphones,, Turn The Volume To Max,, Then Relax & Enjoy Your Trip Through The Universe...Black Sabbath "Planet Caravan" ..A MUST HEAR CLASSIC!!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

These 2 Classics Really Highlights Their Diversity,, Led Zeppelin "D'yer Mak'er" & "Going To California"

[@RegularJoe419]

The more Zeppelin the better

[@sam-om8zs]

I would recommend heartbreaker for a killer riff and an amazing guitar breakdown. Also the live version of the ocean at msg is worth checking out its amazing

[@petergunn3614]

Heartbreaker is definitely one of my absolute favorite riffs. As much as I like the main riff in the Ocean, I love the outro even more.

[@dbclassic8733]

What a reaction and analysis... Brilliant. You were vulnerable enough to capture a genuine response to the music and recognise the connection between Page Bonham genius. You're right, who comes up with a riff like that??? Amazing

[@rogeebundy6002]

You are the best of this genre You have a very good mind And your reactions are usually spot on

[@gregquante8864]

You just listened to the greatest rock band ever. Musical diversity is unmatched. I’m jealous you are getting to hear them for the first time. Enjoy!!

[@jenniferandrews1917]

THE LEMON SONG, I CAN’T QUIT YOU BABE, and GOIN’ TO CALIFORNIA are required Zepplin songs for any aspiring fan, lol. Loving the channel. New sub here.

[@Missangie827]

Syed is now a Led Head! welcome new member

[@johnnieangel99]

"We've done Four already but now we're steady And then they went. One-two-three-four" One of the best songs

[@vicprovost2561]

You are hitting some great tunes, another you need to do is Jimi Hendrix, try him doing Voodoo Chile (slight return). One of the best performances in the rock era. Enjoy! 🎸

[@stevewalsh4850]

Imagine our joy as a teenager in the early 70’s when this vinyl album dropped

[@susanpalmer8931]

another wonderful reaction. Thanks ☮

[@donavonrobbins1908]

And for those who listened to this on cassette with auto flip/reverse... I had a dream.... allll night... crazy dream...

[@rondarnell949]

First time watching and enjoyed it thoroughly. You spoke of how in 73 they were really hitting it. We in case you don't know, this album "House's of the Holy" is the only Zeppelin album with all original material on it. Every other album has a remake on it. But when Zeppelin remade a song they remade it to be their own. Zeppelin is awesome.

[@seeker7334]

Great reaction man! You obviously have a great love of music and a keen ear. It does surprise when a guy like you hasn’t heard these great songs. I guess I’m getting old.

[@kentmains7763]

The Rain Song is an epic ballad off of this album.

[@chrisbest2216]

Great insightful and articulate reviews . Keep it up!

[@SyedRewinds]

Much appreciated!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Very cool reaction man. I love how you really feel all the stuff in it. I'm a musician and I've heard this stuff forever since I was a kid when it came out but it never gets old for me. They are that kind of band.

[@sbh4984]

This guy might be the best non-expert reactor.

[@davidreilly8888]

Trampled Underfoot is a great funk jam by them. Amazing.

[@bontrent4521]

Excellent reaction Sir; You have tremendous perception. Welcome to the magical, mystical world of Led Zeppelin.....NOTHING else compares.

[@Zosohobo]

Yes! You got it exactly! The ocean is the massive swaying, breathing, moving, vibing crowd of concert goers at Zeppelin shows. This is straight up classic/hard rock with great vibes, like you said. They even do some do-wop style in the last section. Bonham was a monster because his feel was incredible. He's similar to a jazz or funk drummer in that he can expertly play around with being slightly ahead or behind the beat. This is what gives him just a great groove and chemistry with the others.

[@joshb23]

Yeah man, DIG IT! Cannot wait for you to start diving into some live stuff, it's gonna get sick! Keep up the great videos!

[@bjcee1108]

It wouldn't work without Robert Plant either. His voice is so unique. He can sing the rock/blues very well. Check out, " Since I've Been Loving You" (Live version). I can't imagine anyone else fitting with the band. They were perfection together.

[@vernhoke7730]

I highly recommend "Kashmir". Any version, I'd say either live from the seventies or 2006 with Jason Bonham behind his father's drum kit.

[@bretthopkins1629]

Man, I been listening to this tune for 45 years, can play it on guitar and have absolutely NO IDEA what it's about.

[@neilwoodley530]

When Jimmy Page was in Japan , he asked to meet a drummer...Her name is Akane Hiroshi. He had his picture taken with her. She plays drums with Band Maid. She has John Bonham's soul. Jimmy recognised this. Check out their work. I suggest you begin with "Dice".Your world will change.

[@vlj1133]

Great review. You have the voice and delivery of a professional radio DJ. So smooth, with excellent diction. Oh, and if you think this is Zeppelin at their peak, okay, maybe, but you really need to delve into side one of Led Zeppelin IV, obviously, and nearly all of Led Zeppelin II. For prog, you MUST review Achilles' Last Stand, from their Presence album. If you truly want to be blown away by the musicianship of the entire band, Bonham in particular, that's the one. That's also Page's ultimate (and final) tour de force.

[@davidgagne3569]

Led Zepplin -wonderful group. Per usual, based on your love of Zepplin, I will suggest checking out Helter Skelter or Hey Bull Dog by the Beatles. Some other suggestions: Oh Well part one - Fleetwood Mac ( the original version of the band)

[@salishseaartsfoundation]

The first couple of iterations of Fleetwood Mac are criminally ignored. May I suggest The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)? Don't accept the Judas Priest version. It always seems to me to lack the punch of most Priest songs. Hey Bulldog! has finally gotten the love it deserved decades ago!

[@davidgagne3569]

@@salishseaartsfoundation Yeah, I thought of Green Manalishi too. But I figured it was better to list just one and Oh Well won out. --- There is so much kick ass rock left to react to and discover.

[@salishseaartsfoundation]

@@davidgagne3569 I have so many early Mac favs! Oh Well is also one of them.. Brilliant stuff. Nothing like it I sometimes think Part One is way too short Other times I think it's so good because it leaves me begging for more.

[@hifijohn]

Over the hills and tangerine are both good LZ songs.

[@ronsmith2016]

LZ havent reached their peak yet with Houses of the Holy album, their peak album was Presents, take a listen to "Achilles Last Stand" and you will hear all members as masters of their instruments and why they are the GOATS!!!

[@briarpatch720]

plant did have some problems with his voice and had surgery but it's more than that. his voice is an instrument, his range is incredible (even after surgery). he can sing at many different octave levels (what ever sound their going for) and nail it every time.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Great reaction, don’t forget to do their song “Misty Mountain Hop”. ;)

[@briankaufman7293]

A band that rarely repeated themselves. Such range and variety: “How Many More Times”, “Thank You”, “Black Dog”, “Fool in the Rain”, “D’yer M’ak’er”, “Rock and Roll”, “Kashmir” … so much to check out!

[@mvellis3863]

Plant changes his voice on several songs on this album. Try "Rain Song" and the epic "Over The Hills and Far Away" where he sings both in a lower register. And of course on subsequent albums (like the masterpiece Physical Graffiti) he sings pretty much back in his normal range

[@stevepringle2295]

“TheOcean” is the audience and “Houses of the Holy” is the venue.

[@brezz6759]

I sadly missed the live stream by 1 hour Hopefully you do another one soon I got my notis on for the stream and yt

[@SyedRewinds]

no worries mate I'll see you on Thursday!

[@HilltopHomesteadVT]

Pleasssseree do Over the Hills and Far Away, Nobody’s Fault but Mine, and What is and What Should Never Be. All by Zep 🤘🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@happymethehappyone8300]

It ill be fun to see him reacting to The Song Remain The Same (Live)... cant wait tbh.

[@jamessweet5341]

This song is the heaviest frolic you'll ever hear.

[@scotttrainer9704]

You got it exactly right again about the ocean being the audience.

[@stevenmonte7397]

The Lemon Song or In My Time of Dying. Some of their best!

[@jdeeze99]

A must listen is No Quarter live at MSG 1973. The whole concert is perfection.

[@robsgarage4746]

You have to listen and critique " Babe I'm going to leave you " from their first album. The first album sets the stage for everything to come from " The New Yardbirds " aka " LZ . " Ty for your critque and interpretation.

[@BensSoZen]

The drums and bass on Dazed and Confused are sure to flatten you.

[@buzzbomb67]

This song is so fun to play!

[@Dave3Dman]

Do Achilles Last Stand. I think it will blow you away. Page and Bonham in another universe with that track. They take what you were saying about their synergy to another level beyond anything else you will ever hear from them

[@ronniecarter2645]

Killing it... Great reaction. I recommend "In my time of Dying" and "Achilles last Stand".. BONZO at his best...

[@wing2ply]

Listen to Immigrant song- Live 1972. Talk about a groove lol. Awesome song by Zep!

[@henryhartley9993]

This for me had a very summer time vibe to it, probably because I bought the album in the summer of 73.....

[@happymethehappyone8300]

To Witness Why Most Consider John (Bonzo) Bonham To Be The Best Drummer Ever,, Just Watch The Video Of John Performing "Moby Dick"..TRUST ME!!

[@peterbartolomeo9574]

My friend ..the studio version with this band is not the way to go. You must see them live. Concert tapes....anything live these four masters will .....BLOW YOU AWAY. THEY ARE BETTER LIVE !!! TRY ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1970 ..IT WAS JIMMYS BIRTHDAY....HIS MOM MADE HIM A CRAZY SWEATER HE WORE. ANY SONG FROM THAT CONCERT....I CANT QUIT YOU BABY ...HOW MANY MORE TIMES.....(24 mins,) .......whole lotta love. ...anything ...73' Madison square garden....anything Live

[@jmar7631]

I don't agree only in that the studio versions show the genius of Page's production skills. A lot of what he produced in the studio often couldn't be replicated live and it would be a shame to miss out on his genius. Most of their live performances were fire but I always recommend that people new to LZ first listen to the studio versions to know the original version and get the lyrics, then the live to enjoy those on their own merits without worrying about understanding the lyrics and just getting into their groove, as well as enjoying the way they constantly improvised, never playing the same song the same way twice.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Big time!

[@damonhines8187]

Another brilliant reaction to another brilliant song! Spot on, then it's gone! Didn't have time to think before it'd moved on to the next item on my playlist! No biggie, back to say you caught the fact of the titular ocean being the crowds of people they were playing to well before this point with near scary quickness! Perceptive, incisive af, m8, lol. Yeah, how could this not be a fave/! It's them at their creative peak, imo. Soooo good!! Must dive into LZ III and IV, aka Zoso some more too, as well as the first two and the ones ahead, lotsa goodies to come, unerring taste thus far, can't wait for you to dip your toes in Yes, King Crimson, Steely Dan, Rush, etc., etc. Too bad Janie keeps such a tight leash on the Hendrix legacy. Ah, well, on another venue than YT perhaps. May try dropping by Twitch on Thursday, first time if I do, old fella don't get around much on media, effing sad, innit, geezer rockers? Cheers, l8r, g8r.

[@tellsingandplay]

I think you should te-start at the beginning. Don’t worry, you will not be disappointed. Led Zeppelin I; “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You” and “Dazed and Confused”. Led Zeppelin II; “Whole Lotta Love” and “Lemon Song” really, there is no bad song on II. Third album is mostly acoustic and very tasty but IV is another nice and heavy. Enjoy it all.

[@BridewellSeniorTube]

Dazed and Confused is perhaps the least melodic Zep song, but darned interesting for a reaction. The vocals are soooo fun.

Jimmy showboats on the live version and it's killer!

[@fightingwords8955]

You MUST TRY (The Battle of Evermore) and , "Achilles Last Stand"

[@anitapaulus937]

The story this song is telling is the crowd being the Ocean, the bands perception of the crowd. Bonzo follows the lead guitar rather then staying with the bass a lot of the time. Not a common thing.
