I dare anyone to get a drum machine to play with that soulful timing. Give me man over machine every time, warts and all. Thanks guys!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

John's footwork is just magic!

[@turnsufficient4971]

Page is running his guitar through the Leslie speaker cabinet on this song. It's a killer sound. ❤

[@sherimay1957]

Jimmy almost has an underwater feel, i love this jam❤️

[@charlessarver8350]

He also is running an echo in reverse at the same time along with the leslie.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@charlessarver8350 And that echo in reverse is fed through a flux capacitor.

[@charlessarver8350]

@@Cosmo-Kramer Just in case you're being a smart a$$ like I don't know what I'm talking about look it up!

[@JimiBurleigh]

My father was a classically trained organist. We had a Leslie speaker in dad's music room for many years. I loved the sound so much that when I was able to get one for my own music room I jumped at it. I'm a guitar player so I run it off a guitar amp head, but it sounds great!😊

[@giuseppemaggio5894]

I am a bassist and guitar player and therefore I'll always pay special attention to those but I must admit that the drums are what makes this song. Those pauses, the fills and the way intensity picks up during the chorus....Bonham masterclass

[@happilyeggs4627]

The bass drum triples are fantastic.

[@kathleenarchacki7875]

He was genius

[@metaphoria3]

Some of the chords are pretty eerie too

[@michaelbochnia5686]

It's those triples that set this song apart. Not many in history that can use just one bass drum to do that. Always been my favorite Zep. song and I still get mesmerized listening to Bonzo on this track.

[@FloridaMonty]

I’m a former drummer… his foot pedal is so heavy! ❤️👍 1:23

[@user-js1mx7dx1p]

I grew up with this shit..how lucky were we as kids 😊

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

We were spoiled...Thank god😂❤❤❤

[@susiedawson3349]

Robert’s vocals shine on this song!

[@nozzlevelocity]

I was 14 when Physical was released. I played all four sides on the drums every day in my aunt's garage. I'm surprised my family didn't kill me. But, I've always thought "Wanton Song" was the crown jewel of the album.

[@bappysingleton3623]

I thought Houses of the Holy was the best one because of its simplicity and the way the snare was tuned

[@titus2120]

I am one of your older listeners. A 72 year old black guy who played bass in an LZ cover band in Hawaii back in the early 70’s. This music was banging. We were a mix of guys from the South, Kentucky, New Mexico and California. This music made us stand up and listen. We learned ll of LZ from the first through 4 or 5. What a ride. What a RIDE! Every new album was a religious experience.

[@sherimay1957]

Bonzo ON FIRE🔥🔥

[@stewpot6998]

Perfect fills on that guitar solo.

[@jmatthewssmith]

You guys are probably the most knowledgeable reactors out here! Your insights and humor are fun. Thanks

[@xfishnutzx]

Page and Bonham playing off each other on that Wanton Song riff is a high point of this album. That’s Apex shit right there. And when Jimmy turns up to 11 on that third run through… the hair stands up. Banger, hell yeah! 🏆🔥💣👏

[@charlessarver8350]

Bonzo almost always played off of Page.

[@robertreeves993]

For my money, in the top 5 of Rock albums of all time🤘🏻 It's a banger from side 1 to side 4. Classic!

[@thomasp.3796]

I saw "Plant &Page" live in the 90's. I thought it was going to be an acoustic show since it was just billed as those two. They opened the show with this song, full electric, full power, will a full band. The crowd went nuts when they started the song.

[@troyowens2903]

Saw the same tour at MSG. They opened with this too...killer!!!!

[@timwanwick179]

Plant just KILLS IT with his vocal here !! 😎😏🙌⚡💥

[@peterjoslyn1]

That Leslie guitar effect, it’s absolutely incredible, to the point where it sounds like a Hammond B3! Always loved this song, sets up the final lap of the album, the road to Sick Again

[@isabelledrevet5913]

JB is just amazing, as usual, with so many off beats in that track ❤. They're all amazing anyway... Love from France 🇫🇷😘

[@UglyDoug304]

You gotta give Night Flight another chance. It’s a great lead in to the Wanton Song. They fit together beautifully

[@AirplayBeats]

We definitely go back and listen to whole albums on our own.

[@Incomudro1963]

Night Flight is the only Zeppelin song that I don't like.

[@DC-ih8bv]

Agree 100% well said

[@joescott8877]

@@AirplayBeats That's really cool to know! I often wonder how many reactors revisit the stuff they really dig. Obviously there's such a tsunami effect--how to keep track (so to speak) of it all? But good to know there's some revisiting going on!

[@teresa2845]

you have to try and remember that back in the day... we put the album or cassette on and just let it play.... and then start if over again....For me, I ended up liking almost everything... and loving most of them.... and a couple that took me all these years later to actually love.... and that's the lemon song lol.... after these guys did the review... I was like.... hmmmm. So I played it a few more times myself and, I have a new found love for the only LZ song that I did not like at all. There I admitted it all these years later lol

[@randylee9705]

In my top 3 Zep songs.

[@owenhershey13]

Another great one guys. La, you hit the nail on the head when you said Zeppelin is unpredictable -- that's one way in which they really do stand out from the pack. Every song is a journey, and you just never know where it's gonna go -- heavy, light, slow, fast. They really take you on a ride. I think that's why their music still sounds so fresh, fifty (!!!) years later.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Saw Robert live last night in Toronto for the last gig on his latest tour. What an incredible show he put on. I stood the entire show lol. Great episode guys. Let’s go Jays!!!!! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@susiedawson3349]

Bonham is playing along with the guitar in this song...Amazing!

[@billadkins5150]

He’s definitely playing through a Leslie. Nice swirling sound.

[@bigboycombo6342]

Beautiful triplets, one of my favorite Zeppelin songs.

[@triggerwarning5762]

It's like a crazy triplet paradiddle rudiments lesson with hands and feet.

[@steverickenbacher7110]

That funky guitar groove that sounds like a hammond organ is probably Page's guitar run through a leslie cabinet.

[@chrisboerger465]

For years I actually thought that was Jones on the keyboard. Just brilliant playing.

[@steverickenbacher7110]

@@chrisboerger465 Jones could be miming Page on organ, but the riff definitely has that guitar feel to it, just in the way the notes are played.

[@billtaylor3382]

They are so damn good! Man I thank Led Zeppelin!!!!!!!!!!

[@ginnydominguez5493]

Hard core zepp. They just suprise all the time. 😮

[@acarter4173]

Jimmy's little runs in this, which initially sound dissonant until your head wraps around it, put me in the mind of some of the experimental free jazz saxophone stuff from Coltrane and Eric Dolphy.

[@marybelliotti894]

They can’t help but bopping their heads! 😂

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

One of the ALL time best endings to a song! So powerful...

One of my all time favorite Zeppelin tunes!!

[@kevinmarker-cz3bx]

Always loved this track..it grabs a hold of ya..and keeps Jack slappin ya..real talk!

[@michaelbochnia5686]

Bonzo at his best. A beast and that one foot can do the work of two like no other. My favorite Zep song. Rips it up!

[@ChrisGreene-hh7dg]

The lyrics silent woman in the night she came took my seed from my shaking frame ..... feel healing

[@casamequite]

Groovy Leslie guitar solo🤯

[@danarchuleta1154]

Finally understood your monikers, LA and Chi (as in Los Angeles and Chicago?) Anyhow, love it when Zep goes from the harder edge, staccato verses to the more melodic choruses...that's why I love The Rover from PG.

[@user-ny6no2wn7d]

Now you know why Zeppelin is the best band ever stepped on the stage

[@michaelfried3123]

My neighbors just love it when I play Zeppelin loud! Once a neighbor called the cops on me for it, the cops ended up arresting my neighbor for having poor taste in music. LOL

[@AirplayBeats]

😂 lock them up and throw away the key!!

Between the lyrics, and the amazing guitar solo/chorus is beyond amazing. Jimmy was in his BAG! Bonzo was bringing the thunder and the triplets. 🔥

[@kramerbassplayer]

One of the best rythm sections ever and page is a great rythm guy too

[@davewelch377]

I'm glad it's stuck in your head, it's been in mind since 1975!!!

[@DaisyChain3339.]

First song I saw them do live. I will never forget how Plant came out on stage during it.

[@teresa2845]

next will be.... boogie with Stu.... I love that song... hope you both love it too

[@turnsufficient4971]

Love the feel of this song ! It's killer. They played this a handful of times on their 1975 US tour.

[@jfcardello]

Another example of their musical prowess and diversity. Truly sum greater than the parts and the parts are all individually fantastic.

[@twobeer3316]

Such a delicious jam, one of about 12 songs from this album you will never hear on the radio...

[@stewpot6998]

The radio thinks they have four songs. But they play Dreams by Van Hagar instead.

[@jameszoleo3296]

The best rock album everrrrr Sick again is another awesome track Listen to that one my dudes

[@njineermike]

This is THE Led Zeppelin song to hear.

[@JefferyWWright]

they put the fun in funnnnnkay. defo touches of james brown in this one, too.

You got that right about Led you never know what’s coming up you guys are great

Aww boyz, here we go! I saw the Page & Plant No Quarter tour in Toronto in 1995 (12 rows back, almost dead center) and this was the track they opened with...it was EPIC! Such a groove!!! One of the best experiences of my life, shared with some dear friends.

[@DaisyChain3339.]

Saw the same tour in Michigan with Plant coming out with Wanton.

[@joescott8877]

Coincidence, there's a guy just above said he saw Plant in Toronto last night, heh. I still kick my ass once ion a while for not making sure I saw Plant/Page back in the mid-90's--WTF was I thinking???

[@telebender]

@@joescott8877, I totally get it. I stupidly missed '90s Pink Floyd and Stones concerts (when they were rehearsing for their World tours in Toronto) that I really kick myself for.

[@michaelpozzini6426]

I dare anyone to find 2 Zeppelin songs that sound similar. They are the most diverse band in history. Great reaction, as always guys!! Keep 'em rolling out.

[@Xcris_crosX]

Hey guys! Wanton is not pronounced wonton like the Chinese dumpling, it's more like wahn-ten. One of the meanings is that of a sexualy unrestrained woman

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

The contemporary meaning of "wanton" is: "cruel or violent action, deliberate and unprovoked" as in "sheer wanton vandalism".

[@bernadettesandoval3990]

​@@coinneachmaclellan3121Unrestrained and unrelenting

I'm looking at the pic of the guy in the Lakers jersey on the wall and thinking what a great song to play at sporting events. Gets me going

[@johnprice6066]

For the main riff, Page and Jones are playing the same string skipping root and octave that they used on "Immigrant Song", just moved up a half step... I think. I haven't played it in ages, so I don't remember if it was in F# or G...

[@juliemanarin4127]

Fabulous song!

[@erolbulut2584]

You guys have the best sounding channel, by far

[@johncollins1177]

I used to wear this album out. I was 13-14yo.

[@jjsdad4952]

One of my favs. Was waiting for this

[@dekrev]

One of the first Zep tunes I learned on the guitar - it’s still one of my favs to play - his chord choices in this tune are wild and it hits hard. This is a great example of the less is more = keep it simple rules - it’s not what you play - it’s what you don’t. There’s no fat in this tune - it only has what you need. Haha Thanks for sharing!
