I'm jealous of anyone who gets to experience this song for the first time!......the next 1,000 times is not too bad either!!!

[@patriciawright8786]

It's so easy to forget how good they were.

[@srt8rocketship241]

One of their best. A little of everything in this. The Mighty Zep. This band will live forever

[@freddymo3339]

Never gets old. 54 years now listening to these masters of vibe.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This song is a reworking of the same song recorded by Muddy Waters with a bit of Robert Johnson thrown in for good measure. It's also been covered by others including Jeff Beck's group with Rod Stewart singing. Since this was their debut album, it almost sounds like they're introducing themselves musically; JPJ gets an organ solo, Robert a harmonica, Page some amazing, languidly snarling guitar, and Bonzo with a bit of crash-boom-bang at the end. Robert and Jimmy often "sang" back and forth to each other. It's known as a "call and response" and blues songs often used it.

[@JuniorFarquar]

Willie Dixon wrote all the best blues songs, including this one. Saw muddy open for Clapton in 79...blew Clapton away. (Not difficult...saw him 2x...boring) Only show that tour that they did a encore...up to then Johnson City, TN

[@MasterTapes1960]

Fact : Led Zeppelin's music 🎶 is timeless

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

Plant and Bonham were 20yrs old.. Paige and John Paul Jones were 22!!!

[@BBaldwin]

Actually, Jonesy was 22 and Pagey was 24, but who’s counting…

[@dorkoptimusrex907]

And just to add to this anytime you hear the mouth harp or the harmonica and a led Zeppelin song it is Robert plant

[@BBaldwin]

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

[@hathorsmirror7335]

Best dual of all time! We are all shook! 🔥

[@jeffkocik8345]

If he hasn’t heard the album version of Since I’ve Been Loving You, I’d love to see that reaction.

[@davidzimmerli489]

I bought the LP this song came from when it was first released (several lifetimes ago), and I swear to you, I still stand in awe of the music this group could produce. For me, they remain the greatest rock/blues group in the history of popular music. Listening to these songs now is just as big a thrill for me as it was when I first heard them.

[@bobbyn.9773]

This one blows everybody's mind! Pageys playing is brilliant!

[@veganapiranha7365]

Big props to Willie Dixon for this song, not sure who wrote it but I think it was him. At least when Zeppelin covered a song they added to it instead of just doing a standard cover. They also did a great cover of his song Bring It On Home. Page learned to play guitar by listening to American blues records whenever he could get ahold of them in Great Britain.

[@ikramreffas4308]

the most incredible white blues band in all music history ❤ ... Page is timeless . R.l.P Bonzo

[@eatthisvr6]

RAW electric blues!

[@philstone3859]

Greatest Rock album of all time. The epitome of Rock and Roll. I bought it as a young kid in the early 70’s just having been turned onto Rock and Roll. I had no clue as to what it was, I just thought the cover looked cool. Little did I know I was purchasing the greatest Rock record of all time. Still my favorite band and favorite album. Untouchable! And their bluest album. Very few bands have a debut this strong.

[@philstone3859]

At least he’s having the appropriate reaction so he deserves to hear it.

[@stretchgilbert]

John Paul Jones. Led Zeppelin's secret weapon.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Lovin it!! Keep going!!

[@PeterTea]

It'a almost a duet with the guitar and vocals. Three songs in and you're already shook. Now enjoy being dazed and confused too. ;)

[@sandyleewhite]

😎***AS THE SAYING GOES, ONCE YOU GET THE LED IN, YOU CAN NEVER GET IT OUT*** 😎(Great Reaction Guys)

[@anthonykargoglou7205]

This is one of may favourite songs. Idk why i love the vibe

[@barbarjinx3802]

Keep in mind Rock god Robert was only 18 when he recorded this album.

[@Jaggedknife11]

not to be that guy but im pretty sure he was born in 48', so if this album came out in 69 then he was either 20 or 21 when recording. but point is he was very young yet sounded so confident and powerful.

[@richardctaylor79]

It was recorded in Oct 1968, Plant was 20 in the August.

[@barbarjinx3802]

@@Jaggedknife11 thank you for being “that guy”. I hate to spread incorrect info. Just turned 20 when this was recorded. Still astounding.

[@sulatlalaki]

18...20...no real difference.

[@ollietsb1704]

And regardless, they'd been playing together for at least a year, doing this song when Plant was a pip!

[@dandrechsler6884]

I was shook Love the reaction

[@RaveyDavey]

The guitar solo is BLISTERING! Even amongst the amazing vocals; organ solo and terrific harmonica.

[@manuelcaguiwa717]

Robert's harmonica playing is superb..\m/

[@Tribblepuppy]

Excellent album to show him what outstanding really is!

[@davidcarter4247]

Zeppelin albums have "cookies", extraneous sounds that other bands would never allow on a studio album. There are bleeds on the tapes, laughter as in Your Shook Me, a jammed tape on Celebration Day, someone shouting stop in Out On The Tiles, a plane flying over on Black Country Woman, more laughter on Boogie with Stu and chatter and laughs after In My Time of Dying, Certain they were left there. The little flaws to make it perfect.

[@philstone3859]

You Shook Me is THE song. If I had to pick one, this is it, easy.

[@666tubedragon666]

yep everyone shook

[@markacuna2828]

John Paul Jones does the organ

[@kdm71291]

Deep Zeppelin blues!

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for your reaction to the best 1st album of anyone ❤

[@teresakoslosky3053]

Plant shakes me all night long !!!

[@clab5864]

Great reaction to my fav LZ song!! Their talents are 100% showcased in this tune!!

[@ginger4141]

I knew that one would 🤯.

[@micahjared8082]

Im Shooked all the F up. Nice. Cant F till DJ hears Lemon Song. Subscribed.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

You don't look old enough to be a Zepp Fanatic LOL......I grew up on them man and yes ,you are correct....they are the BEST ! They are so hard but you can hear what each individual brings to every song on every album ,even live. But why ,why did plant give up on the Harmonica ,it's criminal.

[@jonahpedersen5429]

Such a groove

[@stratocruising]

Five perfect albums; Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin III. Blind Faith, The Doors, Bob Dylan (first album)

[@utetrappen2926]

Everyone is shook😮

[@patsstuffclark9522]

Base player was playing the organ.

[@louise3088]

It's called understanding music. It has absolutely nothing to do with skin color or tone.

[@philstone3859]

Where’s the pot? Where’s the Tequila? Do it right man! Ha ha!

[@rwlewko]

You guys should work your way song by song through each of the albums 'till you get to Physical Graffiti. I can't wait to see DJ react to In My Time of Dying!!!

[@smith9808]

You should show him this version live off bbc sessions album - track 2. Best version they did IMO

[@ollietsb1704]

YOU SHOOK ME is a good live track - I'd have used the others for Studio because Jimmy's overlays of guitars and effects, but this is a pretty decent live song. It was one of the Zep's hallmark, get-us-noticed songs, albeit well-known in England's blues audiences from other artists. None of them offered Jimmy's playing inflections, though, and this and Plant's cliff-falling vocals were - and are - the outstanding version of all.

[@ollietsb1704]

I've always appreciated Plant's harmonica "vocal uhhhs" and suck-it-in-hard breaths. Seldom do harmonica players allow these vocalizations, but I think it adds a TON of emotion and intensity to an easily overlooked instrument.

[@phillipharrison2836]

First song I heard of LZ was 'Whole Lotta Love' on the radio, way back when (late '69 early '70). Bought the single and wanted more. Bought the album LZ 2. Wanted more. Bought LZ 1. This overshadowed 2 IMHO and has done ever since with every other album. It remains one of my Top 5 albums of all time and is still the best ever debut album of any genre. (Not discounting one off's albums like Blind Faith - also in my top 5)

[@philstone3859]

ZEPPELIN 4 would level him.

[@sheiladrucker6872]

He's only missing a joint!!!!!

[@dorkoptimusrex907]

Are you really surprised because every single member of the band is and worse a blues fan a serious blues fan

[@danielswood]

As much as I rate Led Zep, I actually prefer the very brief Jeff Beck version and Rod Stewart's vocal on it. Think Robert sounded his (young) age here.

[@lancemacmillan]

This song is just pure sex 😂

[@teresakoslosky3053]

John Paul kills this he is soooo hot!!!!

[@Justicia007]

That song is like dripping molasses.....

[@markacuna2828]

You should of done the official live version

[@eatthisvr6]

do that later, theyre doing all the albums i think

Did you see our Roundabout reaction?

@@GetSidewaysReacts I shall check it out, Id love to see DJ's reaction to Close to the edge by Yes, thats a mind bend :-D My mother watched all these bands, she's seen Led Zeppelin numerous times in Birmingham UK back in the day

Dude, you're working too hard, chill. You'll never survive the rabbit hole at this rate.

Just a basic blues song.... played with lethal talent. Still love it.

[@robertwatson39]

With this album if you didn't know that Led Zepp was 4 white guys, you could or would think they were black ( not being racist, just stating a fact.

[@jlstock_1]

I wonder who. the 3 degenerates are who gave this a thumbs down. Never trust a person who doesn’t like dogs and Led Zeppelin

[@davidwalker5054]

They say white guy's can't play the blues. Show me a better blues band

[@danjohnson2986]

The universe doesn’t give enough credit to John Paul Jones. The base and organ. Just. Give him a medal. And “Rob” with the harmonica…. Ugh.

[@PaulKeil]

If you say 'You're not ready for this' one time I'm turning it off. I'm all for teaching the youth of today what real music is but try not to be so smug.
