On this recording John Bonham played the drums under a stairwell creating a loud echo effect. Genius!

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

Yeah but the actual echo effect is done with an effect machine. It is still a masterful beat that sounds amazing.

[@Cooz-h1l]

TheGreatsagegoku no bonham played his drums in the middle of the living room of a house that had high ceilings, they recorded this album in that house. When he played the first notes it set the tone for the drums, it was a natural echo

[@TheGreatsagegoku]

@@Cooz-h1l that is only partially true. There is still an echo effect put on. There are videos on KZbin explaining this, Rick Beato's is probably the best. There is some natural echo because of the space but it's not nearly so pronounced as you can hear on the record. It doesn't have to be all natural for It to still be cool, it can just be a great engineering decision, that's cool too. I don't know why people feel the need to defend apocryphal stories so much.

So this song was a blues song originally recorded in 1929, about the Great Mississippi Flood. Led Zeppelin rearranged for playing with rock instruments, electric guitar etc. This song is where the 1920s blues sound and the 1960s rock and roll sound really fused together into something unique. You can find the original version of the song on KZbin if you want to give it a listen to compare.

This song is a remake of an old country blues song by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy released in 1929. It’s about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 that displaced a lot of people, many of who moved to Chicago. Led Zeppelin just turned it into a blues/rock song.

[@cricket778]

They didn’t just turn it into a blues/rock song, they used their talent to elevate the song. Just like Hendrix did with Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”. Respect to the original artists, but sometimes the cover elevates the original

[@JazzDrummer1946]

I've related this (particular) story numerous times in the comment sections of KZbin (and here I go again). In October 1968, I was a 21 y/o studying in London. I went to a club to see what I thought was the new version of an old band called The Yardbirds. As it turned out, who I was seeing was a band who would change its name (a few months later) to LED ZEPPELIN. I never thought they'd actually be anything, as many bands at the time were Blues-based. How wrong I was!

More of a reinterpretation of the original than a cover. Zeppelin never xeroxed anybody.

[@The1WhoKnowsTheTruth]

Peter Tea-Nicely done. Keep educating the haters that LZ never really stole anything. Thomas Bradley- A cover? Holy shit. Yeah Bonham copied that monster drum sound from Miss Minnie when she laid down the original in 1929.

[@KabobHope]

It's not a cover because MM got no writing credit or money from it. It's an original or what passes for an original. MM's estate should sue.

[@FrankMilito]

It's very much a cover. Reinterpretations are exactly what covers are lol. Professional musician here, with education in music history. Led Zeppelin was notorious for ripping off blues artists, especially muddy waters. What's important is that this was not exclusive to led Zeppelin. The Beatles were even more notorious for it. And countless other blues, rock, country, etc... artists. Music back then wasn't protected in the same way it is now. Musicians of color were even worse off. Either way it is a fantastic version of the song. I still can't believe the "it's not a cover" comment 😂🤦🏽‍♂️. By that explanation then Blue Monday by Orgy isn't a cover, and neither is Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth criminal".... I could make a massive list. Shit torn by Natalie Imbruglia wouldn't be a cover then. Nor would New Found Glory's "king of wishful thinking".

Awesome reaction! They were a legendary rock band very steeped in the blues. I would recommend "Since I've Been Loving You", "You Shook Me", and "The Lemon Song". Then I would recommend "Stairway to Heaven" if you haven't heard it already. Or you can try any one of their other songs. They are all bangers!

[@Spellfork]

The members of Led Zeppelin grew up listening to blues and as they got older and started playing they took that love and heavied up the sound, mix in some good ol' rock n' roll and a new musical genre was born called "Hard Rock". Through other bands and with time that heavy rock sound evolved into Metal music and a whole bunch of different subgenres. But you could absolutely argue the fact that without blues we wouldn't have Rock (n' Roll) or Hard Rock. And that's the thing I love about music and all of it's strange and beautiful altercations, it's constantly evolving and changing through the influence of everyone that participates, writes and performs. So big ups to both of you for broadening your scope, you'll soon understand that everything is connected to everything in music like a world wide constant collaboration. Keep up the fantastic reactions, Imma subscribe!

React to Led Zeppelin’s “Since I’ve Been Lovin’ You” for a REAL taste of Electric Blues Rock!

[@DarcOfTheShadows]

The reason it sound so bluesy is because Led Zeppelin and other influential English rock bands of their era who basically created metal as a genre started out playing heavy, electric guitar-driven covers of blues standards, including this one; the son'gs originally from sometime in the 20's if I remember correctly, and it's entirely literal- it's about a flood displacing a bunch of people. The entire metal genre grew out from a handful of Brits who really liked old blues records.

I mean, y'all pick up on quality music so quickly, and I am getting a HUGE kick out of watching it! I can answer all of your questions about ALL of the bands that you have reacted to, but I'll just tell you a little bit about Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant is the vocals for the Band and the entire band is named Led Zeppelin. They're named after the German blimp, called a Zeppelin, first one built in the world and that was just prior to World War 1, around 1912 or so. And, you guys nailed it as far as the genre of music...it is definitely blues, but it's also considered hard rock, in fact, most people consider Led Zeppelin to be the original hard rock band, and they're also considered the best rock band the world will ever see. Jimmy Page is their awesome guitarist, John Bonham (now deceased) was on drums and John Paul Jones is the bassist. They are from England and the song, "Stairway to Heaven" is considered the best rock song of all times. The two of you have literally picked the most famous rock band in the world to like. You should both be very proud of your taste in music and the extraordinary ability to immediately spot greatness. I can also tell you everything you need to know about AC/DC, and Queen. Anywho, I'm a 57 year old ultra cool white dude, just in case you were wondering. Lol Feel free to ask me anything and I could definitely add even more bad ass music to your list. Just let me know!

Hey Chris and Rheasia In answer to what the song "When The Levee Breaks" is about: It's about a flood that happened back in 1927 in Mississippi

[@ryanbarker5217]

sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. :) in case some don't know, a levee is an embankment along a river to prevent flood.

[@helenespaulding9372]

You can slap all the metaphor and deep meanings you want onto this song. Have at it. But it really is an old blues song about the great flood of 1927. It’s speaking history, not metaphysics or love lost.

janityy oh my dear........you have zero idea how much research I’ve done on Led Zeppelin. Ive listened to every interview of Plant and Page I can get my hands on. Iv’e listened to their songs for fifty years, and have followed Plants solo career for Forty years. Many of their songs are indeed filled with metaphor, allusions and beautiful, even heart breaking poetry. So please dont tell me I haven’t gone deep enough into Zeppelin. BUT, when Zeppelin is specifically doing a cover of an old blues song.......something they themselves did not originally write, like Levee, Or a straight blues Ike Since I’ve Been Loving You, or You Shook Me....I don’t think you have to go searching for metaphor and deep meaning. Surely Black Dog or The Lemon Song are not deep musings on the meaning of life? But just because you have your own world view, (to use a metaphor, a hammer) doesn’t mean that every song they do is ( metaphorically speaking) a nail. Would you be convinced if you heard it from Plant’s or Pages own lips? I can send you a link if it would........you don’t have to take my word for it. But really.......try to express your opinions without being insulting. It’s so unnecessary, and unkind to boot. “spitting on your post out of jealousy”? Really? That’s what you call those who disagree with you? They just Aren’t as smart or deep as you? By the way........how’s all that inner soul work working out for you? Somehow I think you are very young....

@@janityy honestly, I don't think that helene was implying that in the slightest, only pointing out that your interpretation of this song, despite the fact that was a cover of someone else's material, is misrepresented

You'll soon find that most of the best bands from this era were in fact blues based.

I dig watching you two youngsters dig what I dig!! When I was 19 I saw METALLICA 2 nights back2back at RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE, Morrison, Colorado 1989. In 1989, I'm sure there were dudes sayin... "When I was 19 I saw Zeppelin!" That's how old they are!! Yet! Their sound was before their time... Endless... Eternal... Just like your love for each other... I hope.
