FIRST TIME HEARING LED ZEPPELIN - WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS | (REACTION!!)

[@JU5TINPDX]

I always like zeppelin growing up, but as an adult this is the song where it “clicked” for me, and I saw the deep, dynamic greatness of Led Zeppelin on a whole other level…

[@dubzer0649]

Zep is such a vibe def starting to really appreciate there music more. Def have to react to another song very soon

[@bradleyhacker7684]

Same. This song and In My Time of Dying hit me different now that i’m older (maybe the addition of cannabis enlightened me) Lol

Me too! I'm a Vietnam Era disabled veteran. I agree totally with what you're saying! Right on!🎸🎶🥁❤🙏🏼

John Bonham's drums are insane! He's one of those drummers that when the drums come in...after the first measure....you absolutely know who it is! His drum "tone" is second to none!

Hey Texas, this is prob my new favorite zeppelin song. Loved every bit of this one

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

The drums on this was one of the most sampled drum sounds in early hip hop. This song was a re-working of a song by the same name originally recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The beat of this is hypnotic; you have to just sit back and go with it. Since you've discovered Led Zeppelin, have you played any of their songs for friends who don't know them? If so, what have they thought? Please do more Zep; pick one at random, Zep fans will show up.

[@dubzer0649]

Ah ok thanks for the background information

I worked with the sound engineer Terry Manning he said it took over a month to get get the drum sounds

Okay, but when I saw them in San Francisco, I'm pretty sure at least part of that "harmonica" was played on a keyboard. On the other hand, that was the same concert where someone got on the PA and announced that people shouldn't take the brown blotter that was going around. So...

This is 100℅ west African in origin, northern Mali the true birth of the blues, it west African feel rhythm married to a touch of Islamic lament brought to Africa by Arab vers over a millennium ago , then during the period of slavery to the American continent this fantastic gold ended up in the Mississippi Delta , the superlative talent of these four Anglo Saxon English men is among other facts in capturing that vibrant west African Mali spirit- force and playing it in songs like this ,there has never been ,nor there will ever be another led zeppelin on this side of armageddon. Fact.

[@juliewesterfield1028]

When you are ready for another Zep try “you shook me” 😁

[@dubzer0649]

Ok will do, thanKs for the song suggestions

[@mzluna313]

There was a lot of production used to get the sound - hanging mic in a stairwell, a reverse echo - the guitar solo and the harmonica were recorded at one tempo and then slowed down. Led Zeppelin rarely performed this live because they couldn't produce that sound. They used to drop Bonham and his kit below the stage and it still lacked the sound. This song is actually a 1929 song about the 1927 great Mississippi Flood!

[@dubzer0649]

Def enjoyed, thanks for the information on this song love learning new stuff

[@alanroberts6918]

The live performance had its own production value and is great in its own right.

[@trendydelquendy]

The studio version of In My Time Of Dying is the sibling to 'Levee - and another drummer's favourite (as is Trampled Underfoot)

[@dubzer0649]

I’ll have to check it out Thanks for letting me know

[@Cincinnatus1869]

First time I heard a Zeppelin album I thought ' how can one band have 4 members that are all as good as this ? ' . And the material was just better than anyone else's too. All the UK bands were playing rearranged versions of blues songs but Zeppelin did it in a more interesting way, and plus the original material they wrote was incredible. I've still never heard another band that moved me the way they did. To me they are the benchmark of hard rock music based from the blues

[@juliewesterfield1028]

Thank you so much for my request!! They have so many great songs!!

[@thomashiggins9320]

This song is a cover of the 1928 original by classic Delta Blues duo Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy. They wrote it after the disastrous Mississippi River flood that displaced a lot of poor farmers, many of them black. The loss of everything forced many of the farmers to move north to Chicago, where they started to take jobs in the railyards, feed-lots and meat-packing plants of the South Side. Those farmers sorta laid the foundation for the Great Migration of black folks from the Delta after WWII, when mechanical cotton-pickers started to replace the deeply oppressive share-cropper system that, essentially, reduced them to slavery in all but name, regardless of what the Reconstruction Amendments said. The original is a fine Blues tune, and Zeppelin changed it around to give it a hard-rockin' Blues sound.

[@dubzer0649]

Hey thanks for the background on this song and also for watching I appreciate you

[@thomashiggins9320]

@@dubzer0649 You're quite welcome. :) You should listen to the original, too. It's available on KZbin. Interesting note, Memphis Minnie died a very poor woman, and her family couldn't afford to put a stone on her grave. Years later, slide-guitar player and Blues singer Bonnie Raitt learned of that, and bought a tombstone. You should give Bonnie Raitt a listen, too. She made some great music with John Lee Hooker and other old Blues artists. :)
