The reason for Sandy Denny's contribution to Battle For Evermore was in September 1970, Sandy had won the Top British Female Singer in the Melody Maker Pop Poll, Robert won the Top British Male Singer. It was also the first time The Beatles hadn't been picked as Best British Band, they were beaten by Led Zeppelin. So Robert and Sandy met each other at the awards ceremony at the Savoy (along with Jimmy and John) and someone (probably Jimmy) said "wouldn't it be good to get the Top British Male and Female Singers on the same song" and they managed to arrange it.

[@mikecaetano]

Led Zeppelin gave Sandy Denny her own rune on the liner notes to the album for her part on "The Battle of Evermore". The lyrics allude to The Lord of the Rings -- "The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on" -- then Sandy Denny sings -- "Sing as you raise your bow \ Shoot straighter than before \ Oh dance in the dark of night \ Sing to the morning light" ... She was the only other singer to ever appear on a Led Zeppelin album. She can really sing. Her work with Fairport Convention is quite masterful. For a taste, check out "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?", "Farewell, Farewell", "The Ballad Of Easy Rider", "Tam Lin", "Matty Groves", and "She Moves Through The Fair" among others.

[@ivanjulian2532]

Caroline probably doesn't know about the significance of the Led Zeppelin runes. You should give her some more background information.

[@franksherman1774]

Never Mind The Runes...Here's Sandy Denny

[@BenWillyums]

The other members sang a bit of bakground on the earlier Zep albums, just to clarify

[@jimgreen2080]

Caroline, Mike is so right about Sandy Denny. And Fairport Convention, which for several albums had Sandy singing alongside brilliant guitarist Richard Thompson and fiddler Dave Swarbrick, gave the notion of folk-rock a whole new dimension by, among other things, playing English folk songs hundreds of years old in a rock style, e.g. Tam Lin.

[@eddiepotemri1621]

Thanks, that was fun to watch... Just FYI, while John Paul Jones used a mellotron when performing 'Stairway' live, the studio recording has him playing layered recorders (bass, tenor and soprano) at the beginning. He also adds bass guitar anf electric piano.

[@MadSlantedPowers]

It was many years later before I realized there was another vocalist on "The Battle of Evermore." It sounds so similar to something Robert could sing, it never occurred to me that it could be someone else.

[@inferiorpatty]

I like how you said “I didn’t expect to be relaxed listening to Led Zeppelin,” I don’t blame you as many people associate them with high pitched screaming and distorted guitars with thunderous drums, but the truth is that a majority of their songs tackle diverse styles P.S. If you were to listen to all of their records I would recommend starting from 1 and going chronologically :)

As a drummer, Bonham makes the album what it is and what Zeppelin is. Listen to the drums on Kashmir.

I saw Zeppelin live at Live Aid, 1985, RFK Stadium, Philadelphia, PA. They played 3 songs, as all bands did too. Zeppelin played "Black Dog," "Whole Lotta Love," then "Stairway to Heaven." When Stairway came on, I was at the highest seat there and looked at the entire crowd, they were all standing and lighters were going on, shouting. Nobody could believe Zeppelin was there, minus John Bohnam. Phil Collins did a fantastic job! Zeppelin is the best!

[@healdogtoe2c]

So fun watching the smiles come to you as you listen to very good music.

[@RDRussell2]

Terrific reaction, as always! On "Misty Mountain Hop" there's another disorienting effect going on besides that diminished chord. You've got three "unsettled" chords (D/A, Adim, A7) rotating over a steady 4/4 beat. Three chords over four beats, and so you never hear a resolution, harmonically OR rhythmically. Sometimes that D/A chord is on the second beat, sometimes the first, sometimes the fourth; the downbeat never arrives. Also, that vocal effect you hear is a phase effect, easily done nowadays with a computer plug-in. Back then it was (likely) a standalone box costing thousands of dollars and it did only one thing - the phase effect. You would originally hear phase effects on guitars to achieve a psychedelic sound, but bands quickly realized it has interesting results when used on other instruments (including vocals). You hear it a lot in 1970s songs. Another great example is Mick Jagger in the middle (slower) section of The Rolling Stones song "Rocks Off."

[@Baile_an_Locha]

Going to California is about Joni Mitchell. She’s the person referred to in the song who “plays guitar and cries and sings”. I think I read somewhere that Plant and/or Page had a bit of an obsession with her at that time.

Always enjoyable Caroline, especially for someone like me who's been listening to this stuff since its release. Gives us a fresh view. The second singer on Battle of Evermore is the brilliant Sandy Denny, from the Celtic rock group Fairport Convention. In my book (and according to Richard Thompson), one of the most beautiful voices ever in Celtic folk. Sadly, she passed away not many years later, waaaaaay too young.

Second, at first I questioned the wisdom of starting with their absolute best album, but I like that it’s acting as your gateway to their work - and it’s not like the rest of the albums won’t deliver! (Houses Of The Holy and Physical Graffiti are 2nd and 3rd best for me!)

Hi Caroline, as an “old” fan of yours, I’m always happy when you’re back. I like your qualified reviews of music. I've also been told now and then that this or that music should be "too hard" for me and that I would not like it. But that always came from people for whom the “hardness” of music is the highest quality. That's not the case for me. I love slow, quiet pieces as well as some hard, chaotic songs. The musical and production quality is crucial, not the degree of hardness. This album f.e. has a great great quality and I love it.

[@NowhereMan2710]

Great reaction, awesome geeking out, love it

[@LouisHansell]

There are many LZ reaction videos on YT. I have watched a lot of them. This episode of yours is by far the best. There are no real competitors. I could make my case with just your opening analysis of 'Black Dog'. You are really listening and contributing (e.g., @2:02) to a greater understanding of the song. No need to be (@2:17) so modest. It is OK that you didn't know a lot about them, and you have a mature attitude toward that. "Don't bring your own charter to the monastery" is a good guide. It means don't bring your preconceptions to an appreciation of what you don't really know. You didn't let what you previously thought about this band determine your listening. @2:32 You get that very right. That entire song is a tribute to how rock got started, to the era of rock 'n roll that preceded the late 1960s. The drum intro is from a Little Richard song, the lyrics are taken from a host of different early R'n'R songs, and Page's solo itself is a tribute to the blues progression in E. You get it, and so many of the other very weak reaction videos don't get it, even folks who otherwise might be expected to get blues references. Since you are just starting your LZ reactions, I will offer some of my own views. I suggest that you listen to the albums in chronological order. This will demonstrate how they evolved. There is a characteristic to many of their songs which I consider important to their artistry. Namely, the music reflects the lyrics and is the aural equivalent of the lyrics. Examples: you can hear the horse riding in 'Gallows Pole' and 'Battle of Evermore': on "Immigrant Song" you can SEE the coxswain keep the rhythm of the oarsmen (and you keep it yourself) of the Viking low boat; you can see the rivulets of rain trace a path down a window in "The Rain Song". The separate time signatures in "Kashmir' let you *see* the caravan, one time signature for the camels, the other for the men walking them across the sans. If you had ascended a stairway to heaven, wouldn't you hear a fanfare as you stood in front of the pearly gates? That's what you hear. On many songs, Page actually paints an appropriate aural background with his guitar-playing . Their musicianship was unmatched. In "You Shook Me", for instance, they take turns in treating the song. You know how, at some stage shows, there is a vamp while introducing the next act? LIsten to "The Lemon Song". There is an extended section, mostly carried by John Paul Jones, the bass player, in between that vamp that precedes the act, and the same vamp that is played when they leave the stage. Listen for how they incorporate 'call-and-response' into studio and live performance. "Dazed and Confused' is an example. The drummer echoes the lead guitar, then the drummer and bass player communicate for a stretch. This is why you can listen to them over again, their are elements hard to catch on one listen. One more suggestion: don't listen to any live versions until you have heard the studio albums at least once. There are many pieces of 20 minutes or so, and it you know LZ you will hear them slide a riff from one song into the song they are playing, seamlessly, so that your brain goes back to recognize it.

[@synchronicity1470]

Very enjoyable, Caroline! I feel a sense of hope that rock won't die as long as young people w/ curiosity & an open mind keep discovering it. What happens is, that primal essence innate to Rock, expressed w/ just three or four instruments can't help but quicken something deep inside. True appreciators of music, can find something of value in practically any kind of music. The added value comes when a catchy or moody melody is fleshed out with exceptional lyrics, a skill held by few. I was going to encourage you to listen to When the Levee Breaks and boom, it starts playing. 👍 As to how to approach your Led Zepp journey, it is always best to start from the beginning. Bands evolve as people do and it's good to get them in the beginning to experience their growth. I view musicians and songwriters as the Tennyson, Longfellows and Shakespears of our times.

[@johnisenhart4243]

I agree with chronological order as others have suggested. Of course, as much as I love IV, there's nothing quite like Zepp I for me, that's the one I listen to most often by far. I'll be REALLY interested in your progression from I to II to III as well, as III was quite controversial in terms of breaking expectations (feuds aplenty as to the question of "is it good" etc), so consider that another argument in favor of chronological order to understand the context of III... They are honestly my favorite band of all times followed closely by Pink Floyd so it's fun to hear your reactions to albums that have have been constant companions in my life!

Hi Caroline; I stumbled onto Led Zeppelin in my teens in 1970 on a deep cut FM station in Florida and they were so different than the other music that was going on at the time because LZ could play anything and still blow you away whether it was folk, blues, rock or rockabilly and that's what made them so special. Founder Jimmy Page was a studio session musician that played with various artists in the 60's he even ended up on a James Bond movie title track Goldfinger so he was very experienced by getting an education doing that, and obviously paid off when he formed Led Zeppelin because he knew what he wanted beforehand, so imho Page is one of the smartest guys in the music business.

LOVE your reaction to Stairway! Yeah, lady, there's a reason it was a huge hit.

You must start with the first album, and go forward. It's all excellent! On a side note, I think I'm in love!😊

I enjoyed that so much. One of my first albums as a kid. Still have it in vinyl and displayed proudly after about 50 years of ownership. So refreshing to see someone experiencing this for the first time. You are hooked now by the way 🙂

This is a nice step you have going, don't have to worry about strikes and anyone that is following along already knows the songs so no reason to listen to everything anyways. smart and good breakdown.

Hi. Australian here too. Sandy Denny had a career with Fairport Convention and Fotheringay as well as a solo one. She guested on this. She married Trevor Lucas who was also in Forheringay. He was from Sydney ! She died tragically at 31 leaving her daughter Georgia Rose. Georgia Rose Lucas is an artist living in Newtown, Sydney !

I remember where I was, in the third grade, the day I first time I heard Black Dog, Fifty years later it's still one of my favorite songs. This whole album is a true masterpiece, and inspired a generation of rock. I bought records in those days, and despite them being my favortie band, I would buy other music, because I heard Led Zepplin every day, at anybodys house, or at any party or on any of the rock radio. You heard Led Zepplin virtually every day, so I spent my record money on stuff I liked but didn;t hear on the radio or at parties. (Zappa)

Your analysis/reaction videos are great! Appreciate the effort you put in. Would be very grateful if you kept making them :)

Rock & Roll is my favourite Zep song, so glad you enjoyed this album, can't wait for you to try out the rest of them. II & Houses of the Holy being my personal favourites. Also do try out their Live triple album: How the West was Won after the fact, alot of interesting things in it. Glad you enjoyed IV so much! Was lovely hearing your musical insight

Just discovered your channel, so far listened to Nirvana Bleach and this. Not a big album guy but my son is so I'm listening to albums now haha. Just recently listened to this album myself and loved it as well. Enjoying your reactions/analyses, would love to see you do the rest of the Big 4 of grunge too! 🙌🤘

I love listening to music with you, Caroline. Truly and deeply. Especially Zeppelin. More than the other bands, Zeppelin really takes me back to high school. I don't really listen to them regularly anymore the way I do the Beatles or The Who or Pink Floyd, so they're really a stroll down memory lane for me. (Over the Hills and Far Away (off of the Houses of the Holy album) is probably the one song I actively seek out and return to periodically. God, what a perfect song that is. And so painful too. Poignant, nostalgic...They're a good band, aren't they? :)
