Led Zeppelin - Hey, Hey, What Can I Do (REACTION) with my wife

[@Scoobydcs]

you know youre the best ever when you think THIS isnt good enough for your album!!

[@Dave.S.Cramer]

There is NO better band in history than Led Zeppelin. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

[@davidpolgar1509]

Them and Pink Floyd

[@michaelt3308]

No,that's an opinion. You SIMPLY CANNOT prove that!

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

ZEPPELIN Mad Floyd are the Big Two for a reason

[@Dave.S.Cramer]

@@michaelt3308 I know that, I was just being confident/cocky. I realize it's all down to personal opinion and everyone's different.

[@BBaldwin]

Jonesy’s bass REALLY DOES carry this song. His playing can NEVER be overstated. Another one of Zeppelin’s “B-sides” he carries is “Travelling Riverside Blues”.

[@Tbirdhaynes]

Totally agree with your statement about JPJ! He is 100% every bit as valuable and an integral part of this band. Could Zeppelin not had Jones or Bonham or Plant or Page as a member and still been a band and still have created decent music? Probably yes but without just one of them, they would have not been Zeppelin and had such a driving, lasting and influential impact on music all over the world. Lightening struck, they were able to capture and bottle it and take advantage of it.

[@Daxtarr1]

JPJ is amazing, but Jimmy is the best guitar player ever, don't overlook that.

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

Zeppelin is like a chameleon, change their musical colors all the time.

[@gregquante8864]

As a huge LZ fan, you can tell that you guys “get it” when it comes to Zeppelin. My favorite LZ song is usually the last one I listened to…Thanks guys!!

[@PaulWalker-hz6zp]

Traveling Riverside Blues is another hidden gem.

[@brucefollett8117]

This song was originally the B side of the Immigrant Song single and did not appear on any album until Led Zeppelin dissolved after John Bonham's death. Thus, this song was extremely rare during the '70's and into the '80's. Some underground radio stations played it occasionally and those lucky enough to have the single could hear it, but many Zep fans didn't even know of its existence until much later.

[@Mahnamahna1100]

Yep. Ordered the 45 single from music land in the mid 80's. Took about three months to get.

[@tektoniks_architects]

For many, many years, the only way most people heard this song was on the radio, every once in a while. It kind of became an underground, "cult" favorite. Of course much later on, it was released on remastered and compilation albums....but for decades it was a hidden gem.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Great live rendition by Plant and Page from Detroit concert, if I remember correctly. It’s on KZbin

[@scottstearn5501]

I’ve always found that trying to choose a favorite Led Zeppelin song has been an exercise in futility. Ask me today what my top 3 are and I’ll rattle off 3 songs…but then ask me again tomorrow and I’m just as likely to give you 3 completely different songs. 50+ years later, their amazing masterpieces still touch you the same way they did when you first heard them, thousands of listens ago.

[@bradsense7431]

Yep! I don’t even try to pick out my top three for fear I will get into a fight with myself and get beat up. 😂

[@26shedan]

I just love Robert's voice on this one.

[@greatwhitewing]

So much enjoy your genuine first time reactions. The smiles are make me smile

[@EdA1]

Thanks for doing my pick, touched that you love this one! And yes, it’s not one of their biggest yet still a great one… And yes it is a beautiful song and it’s acoustic guitar and mandolin but just add John Paul Jones and John Bonham and it’s still rocks big time! And I think this is one of Robert’s greatest that really shows off his range and his dynamics from soft to loud… You’re probably beginning to notice that his voice evolved and changed quite a bit through the years with Zeppelin. All of the touring took its toll but he always did his best with what he had. But for me in the early days, I think Robert peaked in 1970 and 1971. He had all of that power and range, but he also had such great phrasing and subtlety. It’s beyond me why they did not include this awesome song on their third album. Love you guys and love the reaction! ❤❤❤

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Yeah..he’s done a great job of having a successful solo career with a “damaged” voice. In 1969-1971 or 72, he was untouchable. After the wear and tear, he had to change his style a bit but I think he still stayed in the top 10 rock singers….just my opinion.

[@EdA1]

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Absolutely. He had some rough times in the 70s, especially during the American 75 tour but as I mentioned, he always did the best he could do with what he had. In terms of his range the 98 tour with Page was pretty remarkable how well he was able to do some of the earlier Zeppelin stuff. So he did get some of it back. But yeah, Plant from 68 to 72 was amazing!

[@Daisychain1962]

I’m just curious and would love your opinion…do you think this song is serious or is meant to a little humorous?

[@EdA1]

@@Daisychain1962 In my opinion, it was definitely not meant to be serious, but I wouldn’t say humorous either. I just think it was meant to be fun. In those early days, not only Zeppelin but many bands came up with lyrical ideas to support the song, but it was really about the music. What I mean by that is so many of those songs, especially in the early days are about problems with women and relationships and being burned by a heartbreaker or in this song a street corner girl. Believe me, Robert Plant didn’t have any problems with women back in the day lol! I think these lyrics were intended to tell a simple fictional story and again were a vehicle for Robert to express his vocals. The lyrics could’ve been all about climbing Mount Everest, and he still would’ve made a song out of it. Don’t get me wrong the lyrics fit perfectly with the mood of this song. But my point is they’re not meant to be taken seriously like All of my love, which was a tribute to his son who passed at the age of five. It’s just meant to be fun. I think it’s a remarkable song for Zep in that it’s got almost a pop chorus and it’s very upbeat and I think it should’ve been on the third album.

[@Daisychain1962]

@@EdA1thanks for your response…I guess “fun” is a better description than humorous. The first time I heard this song, I put it on repeat for hours. I love Robert’s voice in this song. I never purchased Coda on vinyl so I was unfamiliar with this song until a few years ago. Thanks for requesting it!❤

[@Shaun-ed4fz]

All through the 70's, and 80's the only way to hear this song was if you bought the "Immigrant Song" single... This was on the flip side... It was a real treat to hear it on the radio back then... It was FINALLY released in 1990 on their first Box Set

[@sicotshit7068]

About Robert’s vocals, to hear him speak it’s surprising to hear what comes out singing. He has a beautiful speaking voice, soft & also pleasant to hear, I could listen to him talk for hours. With singing, the amazing range tone texture & the way he adds in his unique phrasing, definitely great at giving you goosebumps. I don’t think other singers, have the magical touch he does.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Hey Ronnie! During the pandemic, I discovered his podcast, and I actually used it to help me go to sleep. His speaking voice is so soothing…just lovely. I listened to every interview I could find..and there are dozens. I actually FID listen to his voice for hours. Developed quite a crush on Mr Plant fir a couple of years….Brian May’s speaking voice is lovely too. I think that Brits who grew up through the 50’s were taught to speak more softly than Americans. Perhaps it’s a class thing.,,I don’t know……maybe working class was different. But I’ve noticed that many of the OG British band members, when they were being interviewed, spoke more softly than we do. Younger Brits, not so much.

[@sicotshit7068]

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 I have listened to 1 or 2 of his podcasts. It’s just the way he belts it out singing, you wouldn’t guess his talking would be soft & soothing. I’m not saying real loud, just louder, or he’s saving his chords for singing. Jimmy & JPJ talk pretty softly too, so maybe you are right. Hell I still have a crush on Robert.

[@juliemanarin4127]

You're right

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We did listen to a couple of interviews with Mr Plant and absolutely agree with you on the matter 💚

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Plants voice is phenomenal. The greatest rock voice.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Page and Plant had this song in their set when they reunited 1995. Jimmy playing his 12-string. There’s a great live video of them doing this song in Detroit. The audience was dancing. Pretty cool.

[@Tbirdhaynes]

This is but just ONE of my many favorite Zeppelin songs! Very few people have reacted to it so I thank you!! ✌️

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Our pleasure! ☺️

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for more Led Zeppelin and your reaction ❤

[@jmar7631]

I really enjoy this song, but I always do love hearing Page grooving on an acoustic guitar (both a 12- and a 6-string in this case), and hearing Jones playing a mandolin, and I believe a stand up bass. So glad that you liked it! Edit: One of the rare instances in which they released a single. A side - Immigrant Song, B side - Hey, Hey, What Can I Do. Loved side A but I think I wore out side B. lol

[@scott3744]

When I was a kid, we had to buy the 45rpm single to get this song... and it's one of my favorites! 😎

[@LedSteelers]

absolutely love your Led Zeppelin reactions, you know what they're all about the greatest rock band that ever lived !!! Every member of this band as you may likely know by now was at the top of their instrument !! ❤❤🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@birdy1964-s2n]

Wow.👌 This is so different, but i love it. Robert Plant, what a voice 😍

[@WendellBurkhart-g9v]

One of Zeppelin's best songs in my opinion . Me and one of my best friends would start drinking and he always drank Segrems7 and just about halfway to getting pickled we'd put Hey hey what can I do 😅 and whoever was there or showed up after he started playing that song just might as well take a seat and listen or leave 😅

[@ginnydominguez5493]

I can't believe they didn't put this on there earlier albums. One of my favorites 😍

[@johnathanstruble1064]

So true about access to music at that period in Europe, not a slight in anyway, but even the Beatles, Rolling Stones, tell stories of having to bootleg American albums , like Elvis, Little Richard, etc. Enjoying your Journey Merchants! 😁❤😊

Many thanks 👍💚

It was only released as a B side on Celebration Day (if I remember correctly)! It took me forever to find it! I recorded it on cassette where I could play it in the car! With other Zep tunes.

​@@timshelton8535I think it was the B side of the Immigrant Song, wasn't it?

[@stevepas1]

[@helenespaulding7562]

Hearing this again, makes me wish that Zeppelin had done more like this, where you have the rest of the band singing backup and Robert singing more in that rich deeper range that we so rarely heard until his later solo years. Such a beautiful voice.

[@shaunmichaels60]

I started listening to Led Zeppelin in 1970 when I was 10. I haven't stopped. as I do with black sabbath and deep purple. and Pink Floyd.

[@davidadams5280]

Also where I live this was a big hit. The radio station would play their 500 greatest rock songs of all time and this was always on the list. Zeppelin had 40 something songs which was the most.

Such a great song. All 4 of them contribute to its greatness, but especially JPJ's mandolin.

Excellent reactions to Led Zeppelin "Hey, Hey, What Can I Say". My recollection is this was the B-side on the single "Immigrant Song". I love it, a different vibe.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

See, you are real hardcore Zep fans now. There are their big universal "best" songs (Kashmir, Since I've Been Loving You, Whole Lotta Love, In My Time of Dying, etc) that you love. But then you develop personal favorites, weird little deep tracks that you love as much or more (like me Bron yr Aur Stomp, 4 Sticks, Royal Orleans, Dancin Days, etc). And the list always changes forever.

[@scott3744]

This song is special because it was never included on any of their official albums, until the recent CODA reissue. It should have been included on Led Zeppelin III (1970). It had lots of radio play when I was a kid 👍

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Wasn’t it on the original CODA album?

[@scott3744]

@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Nope. I was sure it wasn't, but I just checked Allmusic and Discogs, it definitely wasn't on the original release of Coda. It was added as one of the bonus tracks in the recent reissue 👍

Great reaction, A&D. It's tough to rank my favorite Zeppelin songs, but this one is up there... great musicality, great lyrics and vocals.
