Led Zeppelin - Going To California (REACTION) with my wife

[@gavinblenkinsop6250]

This is simply the best acoustic song ever written. It’s about Robert’s dream of visiting the west coast of the USA where his musical idols had come from (Moby Grape etc) and it’s about his crush on Joni Mitchell - she’s the woman in the song who plays guitar and cry’s and sings. This was written in early 71 when Zeppelin were recording their 4th album and there was an actual earthquake when they were recording tracks in Los Angeles

You haven’t heard ANYTHING until you’ve heard ALL of Led Zeppelin-then, you’ve heard EVERYTHING.

[@magicbrownie1357]

Led Zeppelin was on a completely different plane than anyone else.

[@avlanche7777]

Big time.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

I think you are speechless for several reasons: 1) the music is SO evocative of a lost time of innocence, of lost youth and idealism. At least for those of us of a certain age there’s allot of nostalgia around that sound. 2) the music is played flawlessly and it’s just plain beautiful 3) seeing them seated…”at rest” as it were, allows you to just contemplate the beauty of …..what……young men at the height of their powers? Both Robert and Jimmy were magnetic. And Robert, with that “shy” grin, was a total “lady killer”. 4). It makes your heart joyous, but also creates a yearning for that time and place. At least, those are some of my reasons why I love this video.

[@1953jazzman]

My favorite Led Zeppelin song! And what I love most about it is how beautifully John Paul Jones' mandolin playing dances with Jimmy Page's guitar! Yours is the best reaction to this song I've seen yet! Thank you!

[@dougieyou]

I was overjoyed to watch your reaction...such joy on both your faces experiencing the greatness that is Zep. Their diversity is amazing....

[@jenniferandrews1917]

You never know what to expect from Led Zeppelin.

[@26shedan]

I think this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Robert's voice is amazing and because he is sitting still I can feast my eyes on him.

[@BBaldwin]

Yeah, it you can’t see that big python he’s packing below the belt!😂😂😂😂😂

Maybe mine also.

[@zackster1973]

"Each song is better than the last". Well put. This is why they are the greatest rock band ever.

[@DMKali]

You will LOVE The Rain Song!! One of Jimmy Page’s best compositions (in my humble opinion). George Harrison commented that Zeppelin didn’t have any ballads, The Rain Song was Jimmy’s reply…😎

[@karenlynn6860]

From a massive zep fan, that was fun to see. Almost like hearing it for first time. Deserves the appreciation you showed. Thank you.

[@wadehines9971]

I was born in and grew up in California listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and other great music, seeing these bands live. Go to California, visit the National Parks, you can find the good when you're open and you look.

[@williamcabell142]

If I said it once, I said it a thousand times…the GOATS!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@briangill4000]

Every time there is a discussion about the best band Led Zeppelin is there. Their diversity is one of their best features. So many great bands have a fixed style and that's o. K. You can tell an ACDC song after the first guitar strum. You have done a dozen Zep songs and they are all so different, yet the same. Queen is a bit the same. Love your reactions. It's like watching a 3 year old open their birthday presents 🤔🎉🎊🤯🥰

When you go to California someday, make your way to the west coast Hwy 1 to Big Sur. Camp at Pfeiffer State Park with the redwood trees on one side and the beach on the other side while listening to Led Zepplin ❤

Thank you for reaction! Love watching your Zep reactions. No "hopefully we will really like." Heh it's Zep, you will love. 😊 I also feel sad for those that have never heard them.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Yes, indeed….They knew that they were something special….They knew how good they were…..In interviews then and now….they speak of knowing this. The best classic rock band of the 70’s.

IT WAS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL UR REACTIONS… MADE ME CRY WITH JOY… 👏 …. NOW YOU HAVE REALLY BEEN ZEPED

This is the most heart-warming reaction I've seen.. to anything really. I absolutely LOVE how much you love and enjoy hearing this amazing Zep track for the first time. The band members are each masters of their craft, and a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of such talent. 💗💗

Awesome X 1,000 No one can do this again!❤ Thanks! In my 60 years they’re still mesmerizing..

[@davidballard4896]

I love to see your two’s reaction to the band I had the same reaction too 50 years ago. They are one of a kind and just blow your mind. You have just scratched the surface of their music. So excited to see the rest of your journey reacting to them. Love the channel and keep up the great work😁❤️

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for your kind words ❤️

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

I’m ADORING your Zeppelin journey. You are really “getting” the mystique and charisma of the band. They deliberately nurtured that air of mystery about themselves …..no TV appearances, very few interviews……If you wanted to see them, you had to go to a concert. they allowed the “legend” to grow around themselves. Off stage, they were VERY private people. It made them bigger than life….and later, a rather dark and dangerous air about them. If you got too close, you might get singed. The downside to being such mysterious icons is that, after the band died in 1980 with Bonham’s death, it was difficult for Page, and most especially Robert Plant, to reinvent himself as a solo artist and move out of the huge shadow that Zeppelin cast. He has had a successful solo career for 40 years, but it hasn’t always been easy.

[@terryodell9803]

You think that was beautiful try "The Rain Song" Great reaction 😊 🤗

[@tanyaweathersby9393]

This is what I call the Robert effect……❤

[@srt8rocketship241]

Phenomenal talent.

[@Landslide2024]

The secret to Led Zeppelin is the chemistry between it's member's and the instruments they play. Great reaction. I suggest No Quarter live from MSG, another powerful song you two will enjoy.

[@EvilGoddessMLGH]

Don’t worry, everybody has a crush on & gets goosebumps from Robert and his voice! Jimmy on the guitar and JPJ on the mandolin-Yes please! Please do I Can’t Quit You Baby Live at Royal Albert Hall 1970 next-it was Jimmy’s 26th birthday they packed it and had people on their feet for 2 hours and 2 15 minute encores! It gives a true representation of where they started and introduces you to Jimmy & Robert’s call and response that they held right through 1998. Four master musicians indeed!

‘The Rain Song’ forever! Even in its closing guitar strums.

[@jmar7631]

Very much enjoyed your reaction to this song, thanks. You'd likely also enjoy the other two acoustic songs they performed during that concert. They are "That's the Way" and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". Edit: I also think you'd really enjoy "The Rain Song". Absolutely beautiful, but I do recommend listening to the studio version first.

[@davewelch377]

I love your reactions to Led Zeppelin my favorite band of all time!! Keep enjoying your journey with this great band and thier magical music ✌️

[@targetshootr]

You guys are great. Zep used to sell out arenas by themselves and play for 2 or 3 hours without any other bands on the ticket. We got to see them twice.

[@johnbarone8948]

They were so unique and mystical and mysterious in their music, true master's all four of them. I like the reaction of this couple, and love their appreciation and admiration for Led Zeppelin's incredible music.

This led Zeppelin song was inspired by Joni Mitchell the female artist. Robert plant was infatuated with her. At least that's what I've read. When the mountains and canyons start to tremble and shake! Friends when you live here in California that means earthquake😊.

[@ShawnMurdock-l4e]

This is why when people say Zeppelin is a metal band or a hard rock band they are mistaken. At most they are blues, but really they played just about everything. Enjoy Zeppelin, the era of super groups like this is sadly over. Nothing like this will come our way again. And maybe its OK, because if everybody did this then it would not be special.

I come from a little place called kidderminster in the uk. If you know you know as they say. In my little mind, zeppelin is a kidderminster band, well maybe Stourbridge, if you talk to Rob Plant, bless him. I grew up with this band and their family in lots of ways. They were great memories. One of the best bands ever and from the Midlands uk 😅❤

[@davids4313]

It's so uplifting to see your smiles. Love your reactions, especially to this band. This 62 year old Brit had a load of great music growing up that now he thinks it may have been taken a little for granted at the time. From the Beatles, Stones, '60's folk and blues, Prog rock and metal, pop and dance, indie and others. It was UK and USA music in the 60's, 70's and 80's for me and nowadays I listen to much more music from all around the world that blows me away. Yet of course, this band will be in the heart til I die.

Do you ever get the opportunity to speak to him. I have been trying to find how I could contact him by writing. I had a pretty unusual encounter with him in 1983 that I wanted ask him about. I realize he must have thousands of fans who had a moment with him but mine was different enough that he may remember. It involved granting him a favor. In fact I would wager the circumstances were so unique had never happened before or since. As such just may have stuck in his mind.
