Two things... 1 The official live video has an extended guitar solo 2 check out Jack Black officially requests permission from Led Zeppelin to use Immigrant Song for the movie School of Rock! It's just sooooo Jack Black And this track was also used in Thor and Shrek so that's prob why you recognise the War Wail

[@danamalay6366]

Mr polo good day to you sir I am 60 years old and I just lost my job times are tough all over this country of ours it is a time for a change if you would please react to red white and blue by lynard skyward I think all of America should hear this song right now you would be doing your country a great service thank you sir for doing these videos and God bless

Tea for one by Led Zeppelin please

They also used it for snow whites fight seen in shrek

[@Hola-oi1fy]

If you want to listen to a sick bass riff there’s lemon song by led zeppelin

[@christophermhuntsr]

You need to turn it up per saying "I do not always listen to Led Zeppelin but when I do so do my neighbors"

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

i was 7 or 8 when my dad started letting me use his technics/harmon kardon/denon/bosch setup.. he came home one day after work i got records everywhere and time has come today is blaring and he comes in and says i dont mind u using this stuff but i just don't want to hear it 3blocks from the house

[@FATHERKNOSEBEST]

😂

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

Now imagine that you're 15, and sitting in your high school cafeteria, when you hear this song for the first time because it gets played over the audio system...but you have no idea who the artists are, nor the name of the song. And it's the Spring of 1972, so there's no internet. But you never stop trying to find that out, because the song captures your soul. So eventually, 6 years later, your step brother finally clues you in...after which you go out and buy ALL of Led Zeppelin's albums :=)

[@jimnyjaye5281]

I literally said the same thing to Polo about TOOL's Aenima. That sorta stuff is lifechanging. Same ages, different generations. Music is awesome

"They sang songs about love, about vikings...about vikings making love." - Jack Black

[@TheDivayenta]

They use this in the Thor movies. Robert wrote this about the Viking hordes coming to Britain. 😊 It’s very primal! ❤

[@ffjsb]

I was also featured in "School of Rock". Jack Black begged the band to let him use it for the movie.

[@sicotshit7068]

Srek three also. After touring in Iceland Plant anyways became more interested in the Vikings, & yes their invasion of what would become England. I became more fascinated with that time, watching Netflix series The Last Kingdom, I was never interested in that before & now love it.

[@nancyrobertson8661]

The Immigrant Song was also used in the opening credits for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011). But it wasn't performed by Led Zeppelin. It was good, but not as incredible as the original.

[@sicotshit7068]

@@nancyrobertson8661 nobody does Led Zeppelin like Led Zeppelin, Heart did about the best at Stairway To Heaven.

[@enigmatic_soul9112]

@@sicotshit7068 100% agree. Heart did one the most amazing renditions of any song. Now we have two great Stairway to heaven

[@matthewmarana4573]

In a nutshell, it was a tribute to the college students that helped set up the venue. *Immigrant Song was written during Led Zeppelin's tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany in the summer of 1970. The opening date of this tour took place in Reykjavík, Iceland, which inspired Plant to write the lyrics. He explained in an interview: We weren't being pompous ... We did come from the land of the ice and snow. We were guests of the Icelandic Government on a cultural mission. We were invited to play a concert in Reykjavik and the day before we arrived all the civil servants went on strike and the gig was going to be cancelled. The university prepared a concert hall for us and it was phenomenal. The response from the kids was remarkable and we had a great time. 'Immigrant Song' was about that trip and it was the opening track on the album that was intended to be incredibly different. Six days after Led Zeppelin's appearance in Reykjavik, the band performed the song for the first time in concert during the Bath Festival.

[@onemotherpucker]

Led Zeppelins best song is the one you are listening to at the time. Every song is a hit.

[@chrisross-fd3fo]

im thinking when he gets to ten years gone ,a couple of other songs are going lose playing time,,especially in the playoffs.... every step of the way..santana

No Quarter is the aftermath.

[@lbow09]

facts!

[@EastCoastGal66]

I was a school nurse and every afternoon when school let out, the school principal would blast this song when he left to go home. I was playing In the Evening by Led Zepp in my car and I always waved to the principal…see you tomorrow! … I loved working at that school !

[@sharona256]

That is too cool!!

[@Tassie85]

That bass line is ferocious. Just a beast.

[@camronbay1]

Oh yes very powerful.

[@jacqueline4514]

“We come from the land of the ice and snow” For DECADES, I hear Robert Plant’s wail and that killer line; AMPS me UP!!!!!! 🔥

[@adrianbossert4883]

I love the way you notice John Paul Jones bass skills. Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was a little kid. I love bass guitar and in my opinion he doesn't get enough recognition.

[@adrianbossert4883]

"Ramble On" has my favorite bass lines of any song. Even up again Les Claypool. Les is second in my eyes. Even Jimi Hendrix played bass in a couple of his songs.

[@thomasaquinas157]

Great on keyboards, too. "In Through the Out Door" was his album. I love it. Too bad they broke up at that time. Seems like they could have gone in a new direction.

[@Spartan21blue]

Have you seen the playing for change version of when the levee breaks , features John Paul and a host of others it’s stunning

[@caseyrayconway]

"One of the nastiest grooves I've ever heard" Hell yeah brother! It was featured prominently and to great effect in one of the Thor movies.

[@larsbonzai]

It's pretty cool when they use it in Shrek, too!🤭

[@patriciamayhew6321]

Zep had just been on a visit to Iceland and they wrote this based on the Viking lore from Iceland. You have to watch the live version of it! The crowd and the energy is fantastic! You feel that drive so much more!

[@sicotshit7068]

They opened quite a few concerts with this song.

[@margotreadstarot7115]

The more i listen to zeppelin on this channel the more i realize how brilliant Jon Bonham was

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

I did laugh when you said this was built for the freeway. Lord knows I've found myself driving over the speed limit while listening to this.

[@Jjoker74]

Every member of this band is top-notch, and they let it show. You have to do When The Levee Breaks. Please!

Love the Zeppelin battle cry that is the immigrant song!!

[@horseygirl645]

Trust me when I tell you that this song would take control of any car and the possessed car would would drive faster. A friend of mine had a “modified” Mustang that was a convertible. This is one of the songs that we would crank up loud during while we were driving around with the car top down. We had a lot of fun back then.

[@JoeandAngie]

Live Dazed from MSG does it for me, the second half...last Wednesday in fact. Jimmy levitates at about 19:00 min and beyond

[@juliemanarin4127]

I still have my 68 SS Camaro...454 4 speed stick!! I play Zeppelin constantly!

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

Funny you mention that. I just got my Mustang out of storage on Friday afternoon (it's just an '03 6 cyl, but it is a convertible) and brought along my Led Zeppelin favs on CD for the ride home. Immigrant Song was what I put on first, followed by Kashmir, then Trampled Underfoot. Loud music and convertibles just go together.

[@graemem111]

Your reaction here? Got you a subscription! What a track. Timeless. You saying ‘this is one for the freeway’? You got me. Took me back to a road trip on a German autobahn. Circa 1979. For you non European guys, autobahn then meant no speed limit. Yup! None! So, whaddya gonna play on the stereo? First up? The iconic ‘Autobahn’ by the German ‘krautrock’ pioneers Kraftwerk. Good shout, and we settled into a high speed groove. As you do. After 20 minutes of wonderfully enigmatic and rythmic synth music, my mate wanted to, er, ‘up the tempo and let’s see what this girl can do.’ He put on ‘The Immigrant Song’, and before I know it we’re doing 200kph. That’s around 125mph for you luddites! 😝 A buzz like little else, and over the piece I’ve buZZed a bit. THAT’S high speed driving music; Polo you are correct, sir. As a closer, he played Rush. Of course. Xanadu. Clearly a trip made extra special by ‘The Immigrant Song’. Is it just me (this is the edit here) or does anyone else feel that this song gives two fingers - here - or the bird, over there, to the right wing nut jobs grappling for power right now?

[@redvikingprincess741]

❤️ it!!! I listen to this on loop when I’m flying home to Norway. Daughter of the Viking Kings - n I really feel this song! Led Zeppelin is truly from another World.. and it’s one that we all love!!!👸

It's a jam. The lore is that this song was sort of a joke song, after doing a gig in Iceland. Turns out, everybody loves the jam.

[@ryanr5319]

Agreed! Jimmy's added solo in that live version is super tasty.

[@farrenrohana]

Damn I miss those days when my X-husband and I were still dating. We were inseparable and loved going to concerts and driving around in my 74 Dodge Charger with this song and many other classics just cranked on a bitchin stereo. Yup we drank beer and smoked weed and NEVER got in accidents because we were smart and kept our wits about us. We got pulled over constantly because of the car and our leather jackets but we were always polite to the police and were always let go with a warning. We had so much fun driving all over Vancouver BC back when it was still amazing.

[@tonyzahn8911]

That is the most perfect summary I've ever heard. Nailed it.

[@yoursoulknows6444]

You've heard this in Thor Ragnarok - at the start of the movie! Zeppelin doesn't allow their songs to be used, very rarely. I've only heard them 3x in films. The producer of Thor filmed the starting scene with Chris Hemlock fighting, added this track, then sent it to them to ask permission! The mention of Valhalla in the song also made it was a perfect fit, but they had to convince Zeppelin. The other two movies that featured Zep tracks were 1) The Big Short - When the Levee Breaks (totally appropriate for that movie!!) and the second movie was The Adam Project - Good Times Bad Times. :)

[@kens.5095]

If you haven't done it yet, Zep's "When the Levee Breaks" and "Communication Breakdown." Bonham absolutely cooks in both.

[@PaulDamonThomas]

Hey, I appreciate your love of exploring and experiencing music. Much love, man. I thought I'd suggest two Zep songs: "Your Time is Gonna Come" - it's smooth, each band member shines, great production and damn fine vibe and song. It's not one that people tend to suggest, but it's SO good. You will love it. "Good Times Bad Times" - an absolute banger and really REALLY shows off what Zep is about. Also, this one is special, because it is the first song on their first album. This is how they said, "HELLO. We are the new ones that will rock the world". I know you've got a ton of songs from all sorts of artist you'll be doing, but if you feel the itch to go for either or both of these two tunes, I am quite certain you will be very pleased.

[@DJ-nn8eg]

Zeppelin is the ultimate band. Every member top of their game. 🤘🤘🤘

[@kallsop2]

This is what I like about Zeppelin, every album is an evolution of the band. This is one of those song you could play two seconds of the song and I could name it. Always a good one to hear.

Love seeing you go down the Led Zeppelin road. I'm always nervous about your reactions to the bands I love and it's very satisfying when I see you ""get it ".

It's crazy. Their songs, inspired by Vikings and JRR Tolkien were the other side of Zep, who did all the old Willie Dixon blues mega remakes.

[@jonibz1456]

You may just to need to start reacting to whole Led Zeppelin Albums, so many great songs on all of them.

[@jeffmcelroy5437]

Live versions of this song are better than the studio version. Page always delivered a scorching outro solo when they did this song live.

[@ThomasTreder]

We take Zep for granted now. But at the time they created I and II, a lot of us were still listening to polkas and waltzes. Once we put up a tall TV antenna, I could get WLS radio out of Chicago. And this was the first ZEP song I heard. I was amazed.

[@dannycasson1551]

Hands down the best rock group of all time. I've always thought so and I'll always say so! "Kashmir."

[@LadyNyxTheSorceress]

Immigrant Song, Black Dog, Kashmir and When the Levee Breaks are my favorite Led Zeppelin songs! Trent Reznor did a really great cover of this for the movie “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. Karen O does the vocals on that cover.

[@freeaccess12345]

If you've seen any of Marvel's movies, you've probably already heard this song without realizing it. "Immigrant Song" is a song by the band Led Zeppelin from their album Led Zeppelin III, It is heard in the teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnarok and twice during the film. The song was/is so popular, it was selected and serves as a theme song for the movie and for the Thor character, and its lyrics reflect the plot of the movie.

[@joe2thesequel]

One Led Zeppelin song closer to You Shook Me. This was a good one

[@stephenoneill245]

After moving from abroad back to UK after finishing school, I had to present previous artwork. When it arrived from overseas, it was ruined by mishandling and rain. I sat down with this album cover, which had just come out, as a "creativity booster" and scribbled away like crazy trying to produce something slightly more than just worthwhile. My "doodles" as they described them nonetheless did the trick and I was in!

Bought this in the Summer of ‘71 as a 45rpm single. The other side was “Hey, Hey What Can I Do”, which wasn’t released on an album at this time and turned out to be a great song with a different ambiance then the “Immigrant Song”. Something you should entertain in reacting to. Keep up the good work.
