" you can tell that they're better than the rest". Warms my heart ✌🏻

[@PortmanRd]

They literally Shook the music business as a whole.

[@z-man2343]

Robert was all of 20 when he belted out these nasty, nasty blues vocals. Kinda hard to comprehend really. Also, that's John Paul Jones, the bass player, just killin' that organ riff. He is an amazing multi-instrumentalist who brought a whole other level of musicianship to LZ.

[@AirplayBeats]

John Paul Jones is a baaaaaaaad man!!! He is a beast on that organ.

[@AirplayBeats]

A 20 year old singing like that is very hard to comprehend. These guys are ELITE!!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@AirplayBeats And he had only just turned 20 a couple weeks before they recorded the album. Great reaction, fellas. Oh, and by the way, to the fella on the right, the song you heard before may not have been this, but a similarly named song by AC/DC called, "You Shook Me All Night Long". It's not blues like this, but much more of a hard rocker song. It's awesome, though.

[@Straydogger]

@@AirplayBeats He's also playing some piano on this song. Ya have to listen closely to hear it. Of course bass guitar too. 🙂

[@billydworrell8259]

Yes Robert Plant on harmonica. Yes Jimmy Page tying in the guitar right in cohesion with Plants vocals..Fantastic

[@billreilly7693]

Plant is probably one of the best HARMONICA Players ever. We all know he is THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME. ZEPPELIN FOREVER!!!☮🥁👍🍀

[@sicotshit7068]

I absolutely agree.

[@TreeFrogWillow]

A slow , slightly sleazy , bluesy vibe ! Iconic cover of this song . I love the 3 solos on this , organ , harmonica and then guitar . I have to say when Jimmy comes in for his solo .. he blows the roof off …

[@sicotshit7068]

This is one of my favorite studio songs, it shows a variety of their amazing talents all in one song. The three solos of, keyboard harmonica & guitar, then of course Plant’s amazing vocals & Bonham’s amazing drumming. To think, they were only together about two months, when this album was recorded. From start to finish, recording & Page producing mixing & editing, all in four days & total of 35 hours. They are like four parts of one amazing musician, that’s how in sync they are, & NO others have or will ever come close.

[@mikecaetano]

"You Shook Me" was first recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962. Willie Dixon wrote the lyrics and Earl Hooker the music (to the extent it can be said that anybody wrote the twelve bar blues). Led Zeppelin slowed it down and souped it up with the heavy psychedelic over-driven guitar, the church organ passages, Robert Plant's killer blues harmonica along with his wails. The song segues directly into "Dazed and Confused" on the album, so the final cut comes across as slightly less abrupt when listening to the album straight through.

[@SteveoGregg]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@anitapaulus937]

That is Robert on the harmonica. These guys all love the blues and it shows all through their work.

[@johnmcsweeney4163]

Yep, Robert Plant is their harmonica player. This album is great and this is one of my favorite tracks on it. Clearly, Zeppelin is in their own league. Thanks for a great reaction. Edit: Was hoping you'd react to studio version of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You so you could hear the differences between it and that early 1969 performance. Maybe another time?

[@AirplayBeats]

We recorded ‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’ the studio version. We will probably drop it in a few days. We wanted to spread out the live version from the studio version a little bit.

The early Led Zeppelin from 1969 and 70, was so raw and gritty. They played a lot of Blues on their first two albums. I think it was their best music. Thanks guys I really enjoy your channel.

[@trendydelquendy]

And some intersting acoustic blues on the 3rd!

[@glennburch1081]

You don't even have to know ANYTHING AT ALL about music to understand that Led Zeppelin is something that stands in their own place.....with nobody else! Words cannot convey how happy I am they left us with their records for all of eternity. The tribute that Heart vocaled at the Kennedy Center was fully justified as it was a spectacle to behold. The look on John, Robert, and Jimi's face during the tribute......... PRICELESS! Thanks for the reaction guys, I get a kick out of your new-found appreciation for LZ.

[@Dragonsinger71]

This is an old blues tune that's been covered lots of times, composed by J.B. Lenoir and well-known blues artist Willie Dixon. As noted by others, John Paul Jones handled bass and organ, lead singer Robert Plant also played harmonica, Jimmy Page on guitars and using a cello bow for those long slides on the verse, and finally, last but far from least, Bonzo on drums and totally killing it as usual.

[@grahamfay2473]

Finally reactors who know music in depth and who understand LZ's intricacies and the greatness of these four musicians.

That’s Robert Plant on lead harmonica. Talk about getting shook! Well, now prepare to be dazed and confused!!

[@nancysobotka4559]

I love watching young people's reaction to music I grew up listening to. The younger generation's have computer, cell phones, etc. But I had the Rolling Stones, Led Zepp, The Animals, The Troggs, THEM, The Who, CSN&Y, Dave Clark Five, Muddy Waters, Buddy Miles, Nilsson and so many more that made a mark on music history but have been forgotten. If you want to hear an awesome drum solo listen to Jump Into the Fire by Nilsson...your ears will be delighted!

[@willieboy3011]

Like many British bands, Led Zepplin began with blues influence but moved beyond this later into Folk, Psychedelic, and what we know as Rock. Compare this to "Stairway to Heaven." Glad ya'll are at it. Have a safe Thanksgiving.

[@AirplayBeats]

Thank you. You have a safe Thanksgiving as well!

[@markrichardson6357]

A lot of people overlook this track because it just sounds like a jam session.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

This song was written by Willie Dixon. He ended up suing Led Zeppelin over this song and won $1,000,000. That is Robert Platt on harmonica. That's John Paul Jones on the keyboards.

[@John__Dough]

Most rock bands in the late 60s and early 70s played and were influenced by the blues. The Rolling Stones, Cream, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and many more.

seen them live in 1970 Aerodrome in upstate north of albany! What you hear is that good live! the best of the best / killer get flashbacks even after all these years!

[@markwalsh2340]

I really LOVE the fact that so many of these reaction videos to classic rock tracks are made by black and brown people. It is, in fact, your music more than ours because it's origins are rooted in the Delta Blues of the early 20th century. During the 70s and 80s black people moved more towards classic soul, disco and the birth of Hip Hop but kind of relegated rock music more to white audiences. It makes me happy to see the sort of rediscovery of your musical heritage even though it was filtered and modified to appeal to a white audience. This is every bit your music. From the Rolling Stones and Elvis to George Thorogood and Stevie Ray Vaughn. We were just the lucky beneficiaries of it. That new bluesman, Kingfish, isn't even 30 but he's already making a real name for himself too.

[@cdronk]

I think you asked about John Paul Jones (keyboard, bass) in an earlier video. I'll say now what I said then; he is their secret weapon.

[@AirplayBeats]

He’s starting to become my favorite member.

[@christianmarler2253]

This song was written by Willie Dixon (Lyrics) and Earl Hooker (Instrumentation). It was recorded by Muddy Waters in 1962, just six years before this version by Led Zeppelin was recorded. (Wikipedia) (EDIT: I initially wrote "instrumentalization" rather than "instrumentation." I asked Bing Copilot which word could apply to music composition, and while "instrumentalization" is a word (both terms mean something specific in mathematics, for example), Copilot said that when applied to the subject of music composition, "instrumentation" is the correct word.)

Robert Plant on Harp and vocals; John Paul Jones Bass/Organ/Keyboard, John Bohnam Percussion and Jimmy Page Lead Guitar. A tighter, more electrifyingly soulful Quartet has still not emerged.

[@kdm71291]

By now, you've probably researched all this or someone has already commented, but in the simplest, watered down terms, regarding the history....Jimmy Page was a sessions musician, playing guitar in studio sessions as young as 15, I believe....and later played in The Yardbirds........he began looking to start his own band in 1968....John Paul Jones had also been a sessions musician and he and Jimmy already knew each other.....then Jimmy started looking for the other members and found a young blues singer Robert Plant singing in London blues clubs........Robert knew a drummer from another band he had run into several times named John Bonham.....and the rest is history! That's the best I can remember it at this time.
