FIRST TIME LISTENING to Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love (REACTION)

[@Bluewizard7131]

Led Zeppelin improvises constantly in concert, the whole band. It's magic.

[@mikezak8812]

They always knew where each other were at...

[@rickhill56]

I'm 70/yr. old and this was the first of their tracts I heard played on the radio in 1970 and I loved it then and every since, all their tracts!

[@bubhub64]

The conversation you were talking about between Robert's voice and Jimmy's guitar is known in the blues world as 'call and response.' Zeppelin were masters of it.

[@bnd4ever48]

The band always improvised when playing live and they never did the song the same way twice

[@HooPhartd]

That's because you never knew how high Jimmy would be when he hit the stage. Lol!

[@X1xone]

They did improvise a lot, but they do have obvious musical cues if you listen to multiple live shows that tells them to move to the next part of songs.

[@heliotropezzz333]

@@HooPhartd It's because they could do it, and they enjoyed doing it. It displayed their inventiveness and mutual chemistry, and gave the audiences a unique experience. It probably also stopped the band being bored with always playing songs the same way.

[@bobbyd4033]

The reason Led Zeppelin can do what they do on stage is simply because they are the Rock Gods of rock and roll and everyone else is a rock legend

[@davet8759]

The best part of Led Zeppelin live is that they do improvise a lot. Their musicianship is second to none.

[@tomwayne3755]

I am very happy to see a young person getting into a group that had already broken up before you were born. No one and I mean nobody has created what Zeppelin has. I like your intelligent and at times emotional reactions to the group of the century Led Zeppelin. Also Robert Plant put out 7 platinum Albums as a Solo artists. They don't make singers like Plant anymore. Keep up the videos I enjoy them and today I am turning a few of my friends on to you

Jimmy Page's best performance in this concert is during the 28 minute version of Dazed and Confused, which is about 24 minutes of the greatest guitar solo ever!

Actually Led Zeppelin concerts were averaging 3 hours of greatness. To understand how most of this was improved listen to the studio version. Another great Led Zeppelin show was 1970 Albert Hall, 1979 Knebworth, and even earlier very young Led Zeppelin 1968 Denmark radio video. Loving the Led Zeppelin reaction.

[@emmanuelflores9983]

Wow, naive of me to think their shows were 2 hours long. It definitely makes sense why they were longer. Thanks for the heads up!

[@helenespaulding9372]

ghadley can you imagine the demands on Roberts voice from those concerts and the amount of touring they did?

[@BBaldwin]

They were more than a duo. They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band. You’re hearing the greatest rhythm section in rock history.

[@coreycharles2245]

Please please please react to How Many More Times. It’s easily one of their greatest songs and it set apart the fans who only hear the mainstream songs to the ones that actually know what Zeppelin is all about.

[@chrisnewton5126]

The live version of this from the Dansk Radio sessions in '69 (it's a Video) is pretty outstanding. Young Robert hadn't blew his voice out yet and Jimmy's guitar is just brilliant. Bonham is Bonham. (posted on youtube title: Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times (Danmarks Radio 1969))

[@ronniel879]

The movie The Song Remains The Same was actually released into theaters in 1976 . Then it was shown as a late night movie for years after in theaters . If you couldnt get tickets when they came to town , it was the only way to see them in a live setting. On the big screen it was as if you were in the front row!! Of course now with dvd and home theater systems we take it all for granted now with all the different media formats!!!

[@Klapeful]

Awesome :) Yes Jimmy is playing with a Theramin. From the same concert you can check "The song remain the same/The Rain song" they should be played together. To be fair the whole concert is just amazing. Dazed and Confused is 28min long if I'm not mistaken, but it's the greatest performance you'll ever see. It's kinda like Whole lotta love, a lot of improviation, but it's 10x better ! The video will be blocked en KZbin, but you can upload it on Google Drive or somewhere else for example. Improvisation is the best word to describe Led Zeppelin. My guess is that during each concert/warm-up/.. , they might add something else to each songs and they keep it in. For example the longest version of Dazed and confused is 45min long !

[@Tonysmithmusic]

the solo jimmy plays in boogie mama is one of my all time favourites.

[@anitapaulus937]

They all jam in concert. He played the solo from the recording toward the end, and that’s when Robert came back in. If you like the call response that they do, you should listen to “You Shook Me”. They do it through the whole song. I’ve heard them talking about the first time they played together. They decided on a Yardbirds song they all knew. When they finished, they were like “Wow”. They just gelled immediately.

[@emmanuelflores9983]

Yoooo that's so cool. Adding it to the list!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

That’s a theramin Jimmy’s playing with his hand. And there’s Robert Plant, the Golden God, the human air raid siren. All four incredibly talented.

[@helenespaulding9372]

It was because of all of the improvisation they had done over more than a decade, and the fact that Bonham could follow Page anywhere, that they felt they could not, and didn’t want, to continue after his death. Add to that that he was a friend.....,and Roberts closest friend. They were crushed by the loss. Jimmy has said he couldn’t touch a guitar for two years. Robert has said that Zeppelin was “No longer an affair of the heart” and he couldn’t go on. Such a tragedy all around....

[@emmanuelflores9983]

Helene Spaulding What a tragic end to the band, but completely understandable. When you see the chemistry they have on stage it’s obvious one can’t work without the other. With John being the heartbeat of the band, it’s easy to see why they couldn’t continue after he passed.

[@helenespaulding9372]

And that is what makes the 2007 reunion Celebration Day so poignant, in addition to being so great: seeing Bonzos son up there and the way they interact with Jason...the smiles, the gestures. Robert is kind of a second dad to Jason, since Bonzo was his closest friend. Jason has spoken of his strong emotions about playing that night with his “dad’s mates”....almost an out of body experience. He definitely channeled his dad’s spirit that night.

[@gummiesrule88]

NO Zeppelin show lasted "two hours," once they built up their setlist from the very early years. They were always at least pushing three hours, and often more. And when it was over, everybody in that hall was flat exhausted. Just numb from the power and glory of it all. Or at least I was, and everybody else looked like it...

[@robertacolarette1594]

Jimmy was always into mysticism and seriously that was not unusual in the early 70’s. His pants have the planets and stars on them. I remember myself embroidering Saturn on my boyfriend’s jeans.

[@cynergy4]

Told ya that Page is a magician! Back in the day we liked to listen to this song while on mind altering substances, hehe! The studio version is quite a trip. There was often a lot of interaction between Plants voice and Page's guitar. If you haven't yet, "Dazed And Confused" from this concert is a must see! Page's fantasy sequence is beyond cool! In their later years when Page was "under the weather" John Paul Jones became the glue that held the band together.

[@robertacolarette1594]

You MUST do “Achilles Last Stand” & “Kashmir” from Knebworth 1979. Achilles is a MONSTER track. It’s epic. This band is awesome live. For Achilles Jimmy was told it would be impossible to do all the guitar parts himself live. Ronnie Wood asked him “who are you gonna take with you on tour with the other guitar?” Jimmy said “No one. I’ll do it myself”. and damned if he didn’t pull it off. The guy is a genius talent.

Oh, this version is a lot different after the guitar solo from the studio version. From the point where he say "One night, I believe I told you this before." Until they go back into the song is all extra stuff. They have other versions of this song that are over 20-25 minutes long. Yes Robert does improvise a lot too. I was told one reason they did it is so it wasn't boring to them playing the exact same thing every night. Actually the real duo is the drummer and the bassist grooving together. Page said that Bonham was the one who laid down the beat everyone else fed off of. Thats why when he died they could no longer continue. Oh do their song "Stairway to Heaven" first but the group Heart does an excellent cover of them when they were inducted into something at the Lincoln Center in Washington about 15 years ago. Stairway is Zepps most famous/popular song and still is often voted the greatest rock song ever even though I personally like at least 15 songs by Zeppelin better than Stairway but thats just me.
