[@CrystalMarieShannon]

[@Lona_Chess]

Thank you for reacting to another Led Zeppelin album, Crystal. The band is in top tier of greatest artists of all time. I'll always melt and fall into a peaceful state when The Rain Song plays. It's one of the greatest pieces of music I've ever heard. Also, it was used to great effect in the movie Almost Famous. Again, thank you or an amazing reaction, Crystal. Your videos are a much-needed light in my life right now.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Thank you for your kind words my fantastic friend! 💛💛💛💛 I definitely agree with you about LZ being top tier! Sending you lots of love and hoping you have the best day ever!

[@iambecomepaul]

Rough day. You know what those are like. Keep plugging away, champ! I was wondering what you were gonna think of The Rain Song… thanks for all you do.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

i’m so very sorry that you’ve had a rough one my friend! 🧡 I truly wish with all my heart that sunny days come your way and wash away the clouds, comb webs and misery! you deserve sunshine, hope, love, light and joy! 🧡 I wish for all those to work their way to you and continually surround you! 🧡🧡🧡

[@iambecomepaul]

@@CrystalMarieShannon love ya ❤️😎

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

Crystal! Happy Friday! So good to see you doing this album. The story behind “The Rain Song” is that George Harrison said to John Bonham, “You guys never do any ballads.” In response Bonham allegedly said, “I’ll give him a ballad” and reportedly quoted “Something” in the first two chords. The 60s had so many great rock bands, but so did the 70s. Would love to see you get to The Rolling Stones in the future. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

that is so incredible ! I love this story because it shows how a little nudge in the right direction can lead to something extraordinary! 💜 I hope you have the absolute most incredible day! 💜🧡💚

[@lyndoncmp5751]

What was Harrison listening to? Zep III and IV had gentle songs.

[@NyMyers64]

This is a fantastic album, one of my favorites from Zeppelin. Side 2 = more musical greatness. Have a great day, Crystal and definitely do all the Halloween things you want.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Hey there Ed! 🧡 oooh I can’t wait for side 2 then! I was already excited and now every more so🩶🩶🩶🩶 thank you my amazing friend🧡 I am sending my love your way

[@Rick-f1i]

Your reaction to Over the hills and far away intro is pretty much what I think about every time I hear it. And I probably heard it a thousand times. The talent is unbelievable.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

That song is just incredible! 🩵 I hope you are having the most fabulous day and that you enjoy our newest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=Ja_4oujwTTMXTPup

[@charliecochran3035]

I never miss a chance to hear The Rain Song. I think it might be my favorite love song. You have plenty to look forward to, but I think No Quarter will probably stand out.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Wow!!!! I’m totally with you there! The Rain Song is spectacular! 🧡 sending you love!

[@malcshone4409]

Thank you Crystal. Your reaction was as beautiful as The Rain Song. This album is full of music for the seasons of the year. Side two definitely has a song for the depths of Autumn / Winter, when there are mists and fog and snowstorms. You’ll know it when you hear it. Stay safe, well and happy. Best wishes from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

[@lakephillip]

This is my favorite Led Zeppelin Album. in 1973 I was a junior in HS. This was a very popular album. Went through so many copies.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Me too! Fantastic time to be a teen!

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

This is absolutely an excellent choice for a favorite! 🩵 Especially during high school years, I can only imagine how exciting it must have been to listen this then! 🩵 I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and that you enjoy our newest reaction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=iU0-5csscvw6OSPY

[@m_v__m_v]

So glad you're hitting these great albums so quickly! Side 1 is awesome but I have a feeling you'll prefer side 2. These guys were coming off of LZ IV and Stairway to Heaven, and still hit another home run with this one. Musical geniuses at their peak. The Rain Song is a masterpiece, it reminds me of side 2 of the Beatles' Abbey Road album. Great reaction as always!

[@666tubedragon666]

the only thing that could make Zeppelin better is you! i really love Dancing Days and D'yer Mak'er side two. all of my love, kiddo

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Wow!!!! Thank you oh so very very much Richard! 🧡 You make Zep better, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys & even the Beatles! We are working on the very next video right now and I think it’s something that you are going to truly enjoy 🧡 sending all my love you way and wishes for a fantastic weekend!

[@PeterTea]

The Rain Song’s first two notes are an homage to George Harrison’s Something, since he helped to inspire this song.

[@targetshootr]

This album sealed the deal back in '73. There was no doubt they were masters of music.

[@mikecaetano]

Led Zeppelin changed its sound up a after the fourth album in order to keep their sound fresh and on the leading edge of seventies music. The orchestration of "The Rain Song" is quite spectacular. The song taught me a half dozen new chords back when I was learning how to play guitar as a kid in the late seventies. I'm looking forward to watching you check out side two. 😃

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

My personal favorite Zeppelin album. So many good songs!

[@robertbutler4672]

Hi Crystal! Glad you're reacting to this one, a great follow up to Zeppelin 4. It was a real change of direction from that masterpiece, and they took some flak for doing so at the time. They did the right thing in the artistic sense. Love all the change ups, that James Brown shout out that is The Crunge gets me every time. You'll love side 2, No Quarter is...I don't know, words are hard to come up with. Great reaction as always, cheers!

[@gary-e7d]

saw/heard an interview where Robert said he was experimenting with 'the song remains the same' (and maybe some other songs on this album) were he sped up his voice after the album was recorded but then had to release it like that due to a time deadline (contract obligations) said he regretted speeding up his voice and he is not happy with this album. I agree, I dont like the sound of his voice (helium) hopefully you see the song remains the same/rain song live (from the 1973 movie concert "the song remains the same") and hear how it should be sung!

[@robdepolo122]

Bombastic is a good word to use when talking LZ, they are masters of it.

[@aifesolenopsisgomez605]

Can't believe i haven't heard most of these songs, even though I love classic rock. At first I was like, yeah, I loved that one, and then got really surprised I heard something new.

[@bobcharles1204]

Another classic album and a great review!

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Thank you Bob! 💜 I hope you enjoy today’s video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=nQnJzoJ9JuqJTTad

[@billtaylor3382]

So Happy I found your channel Crystal My first time watching you and Zepp is the GOAT! Going to watch your reaction to side II.

[@juliemanarin4127]

They are magnificent! The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song live at msg in 1973 is absolutely amazing!!

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Yes they are! 🩵 and I absolutely can’t wait until we cover the live performances which we will get into after completely the entire catalogue 🩵 I hope you are having an amazing day and that you enjoy our newest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=Ja_4oujwTTMXTPup

great choice Crystal! A true classic.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

thank you so very much my friend 🧡 I appreciate you being here!!

[@johncampbell756]

This is often my favorite Led Zeppelin album. My only October plans are to see Coheed and Cambria at the Hollywood Palladium tomorrow night 10/7. I worked at the WB lot while they were filming PLL. I have no idea how many times I saw this over 2.5 years, but they had extra long golf carts for people getting studio tours. So many times I would see the tour cart and right behind them another cart filled with 3 to 5 of the PLL actresses, and no onebin the tour cart would look behind and see them. My office was right next to their stages so I saw it a lot.

[@andrewlane8105]

Hi Crystal I really love your videos especially the Beatles ones that you did, are you going to listen to the Moody Blues LP'S I think you will like them❤

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Hey there Andrew! Thank you so very much for your amazing suggestion! 🩵 I’m actually excited to let you know that Moody Blues is on our list already and we will be covering them! I hope you enjoy our newest reaction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=Pwgur62FJzOKa2jY 🩵

[@tonybeltran4366]

aww i wish you would react to all the songs in complete and not in edits, this is just my favorite album

[@vlj1133]

Crystal, being as huge of a fan of the Beatles as you are, you'll be pleased to learn that your favorite song here was created as a result of a challenge to Jimmy Page by George Harrison. "The problem with your band is you never do ballads," to which Jimmy Page responded, "I'll give him a ballad," and he wrote "The Rain Song." He even quoted Harrison's "Something" in the first two chords of "The Rain Song," simply to be funny.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

quite a remarkable story that result with amazing art! 🩵 thank you for sharing this with me! I hope your weekend is going astoundingly well and that you enjoy our newest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=Ja_4oujwTTMXTPup

Across the Universe or Taking Woodstock?

Crystal, I'm curious. What platforms do you use for listening to music in your videos? Is it KZbin, or regular streaming like Spotify and Tidal?

[@happymethehappyone8300]

NO HALLOWEEN MUSIC/REACTION LIST would be complete without this MUST SEE/HEAR classic track & video,, The Guess Who - Shakin' All Over" ~ Skelton Dance (Video A MUST!!)..TRUST ME on this one my music lovin' sister!!..I can promise you that,, You,, your subscribers & myself will ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! ❤

[@iambecomepaul]

Okay, here’s a take but I don’t want to start any fistfights with Zep heads out here. Maybe Bonham could have sat “The Rain Song” out like on “Going to California.” I know, I know… but I’m not a Bonham hater. I’m just of the opinion the snare drum was a bit of overkill and slightly distracting from the melodic theme. The percussion on this just felt like an afterthought to me. It’s just an opinion. Don’t flame me 🤪 I’ll listen to other opinions.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

This is actually such an interesting take and I am so glad you shared it!!!! I wish we could be offered an alternative version of The Rain Song without the snare to be able to experience it and to compare! 🧡

[@iambecomepaul]

@@CrystalMarieShannon Plant and Page got close to it once but frankly, percussion on this song has become canon over time. I just think there’s other percussive strategies that might have been more harmonious and in keeping with the ethic still, not losing the minor explosive effects they wanted to achieve at places in the composition. But I’m not a Bonham hater! Lol. It’s really the only Zep song in the catalog where I differ with them in their approach. I’m sure they care, huh? 😉

Hi Crystal.💕 I'm heartbroken that I couldn't send you thanks for so long. But I'm currently unemployed and also have technical payment problems with Google Pay. The first will soon be gone, which is why I am happy and grateful and I hope to be able to eliminate the second reason as well. I would like to support you again. 🤑But I hope your silence towards me has nothing to do with missing payments.😶

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Hey there Peter! I am so sorry to hear this! 🩵 I will be keeping you in my prayers and hoping that circumstances change for you and wishing all the positivity & abundance comes your way! I am so sorry if it seems I have been silent! I always try my best to respond to as many comments as I can 🩵Please don’t feel bad about not sending the super thanks! i am absolutely grateful for you just being here! it is important to me to express gratitude whenever i receive them because i never expect that level kindness & it does help out so much but that is most definitely not a requirement here! this is just a wonderful place where we can share the love of music together! I don’t always get to see every comment, as a matter of fact this is the first comment of yours i’ve seen in a while! I might have just missed the others! 🩵 We have been delving into a lot of albums and reactions recently, and have a bunch more coming your way! Sending love & happiness always! 🩵

@@CrystalMarieShannon Thank you.

[@heathcliff8624]

The music audio is coming through very flat and mono on this. Just a friendly reminder.

[@fewwiggle]

THIS is peak LZ -- they never again quite captured this level of 'playfulness' (for want of a better word). But, I'm always torn -- is HOTH better than LZ 1? Yes . . . . and No . . . . Anyway, stay spirited and spooky!!! ;-)

[@gary6754]

physical graffiti is their peak

[@willyroussel3563]

You are wrong about this being the first album without the bands name. The untitled album was just that the name was not anywhere on the outside of the album. we always called it the fourth album but never never Led Zeppelin 4.

[@CrystalMarieShannon]

Oh wow! I never knew that! Thanks for the inside scoop! 🩵 I hope you are having an awesome Sunday and that you enjoy our newest reaction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSzooOPYrGBppIsi=NKFGFgCCqhbLAk5W

"Where's that confounded bridge?" Lol. This song does not have a 'bridge'.

[@Nichwar19]

Robert damaged his voice at this point that's why they added those weird effects to his voice. You'll listen to a different vocalist on the next album. He had to change his style.

[@jonhoward4884]

"The Crunge", I call "The Cringe" is the only Zeppelin song I dislike. Fantastic album though.

Was just listening to this album with my dad the other day on our way to see Ringo Starr in concert (amazing btw). He said he hates it too, which surprised me cuz I kinda liked it lol. But he said they were going for a James Brown-like funky sound with it. I get a RHCP vibe from it myself.
