That first Sabbath album, from 1969, is just heavy, detuned blues. But I love ❤️ it.

[@josephbarr1659]

@Huck Finn You know, Tony has such a fascinating story, growing up in industrial Birmingham, England he nearly didn't make it out. On his last day of work at the factory (he had accepted a gig with a band to go on tour), a machine accident took the ends of his fingers off. They told him he would never be able to play again... But he took light strings and detuned them, and then with some homemade prosthetic fingertips, he crafted that Sabbath sound which helped usher in an entire genre of music.

Cryin won’t help ya, prayin won’t do ya no good. Always translated that to, Get the hell up and get to work.

[@DoctorRocker66]

It means nothing will save you when the levee breaks

[@rhabdob3895]

That’s a dumb translation.

[@pistol3836]

Yes mam!!! Welcome to the legends ! Led Zeppelin! Makes you feel things you never knew possible.

[@FrankyboyFloyd]

Love your face expression soooo much! Genuinly feeling of this masterpiece music. Pure emotions... Music is the most beautiful language on this planet,

[@stanleyellis7837]

loved your reaction

[@royalway12]

You understand 70's rock, and instrumentals beyond your peers and age group. So many reaction videos, the host gets bored during the song when there's no lyrics, but you GET IT.

[@TheHighwayVideo]

I am addicted to watching people experience something beautiful for the first time. Keep these coming!

[@THEJAYYSHOW]

Will do

Ramble On, Hey, Hey What Can I Say, Gallows Pole, Friends, Misty Mountain Hop, No Quarter, Battle of Evermore , Trampled Underfoot...so many goodies

This Led Zep song is a cover of 1929 blues song by Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie.

[@sandygraham7943]

You are listening the best way to truly appreciate Zeppelin with headphones !

[@danomalley2473]

To see someone love a band at first hearing, that I've loved for so long, it warms my heart. A lot of bands were adapting the Blues into a Rock sound, and there were SO many good bands coming out of England at that time. But Zeppelin took that Blues/Rock concept, and forged it into a mighty rock-hard f-ing diamond. These guys are just such a perfect synergy of what Rock was becoming, and could be. Cheers to Jayy.

I know you've got a catalog of music to react to. If you're looking for a mellow song that you'll get lost in, try Van Morrison "Into The Mystic" or "Tupelo Honey". Stay blessed & keep going!!!

[@EnlightenedRogue24]

I had my virgin ears rocked to this music as a young teen in the 70’s. Never been the same since. Welcome to the show young lady. 🔊🎶🎵🎶☝️🥴👍

[@lawrenceeason8007]

Great reaction. Just subscribed. Dirty, mean and nasty swamp blues from a British band. How do you beat that. You would LOVE "In My Time Of Dying"

[@charleslatora5750]

Agree. A must.

[@sharonengelbrecht1861]

Music timeless I'm 69 from South Africa enjoy

"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.

[@LrngMn]

Thanks, Jesse

[@revylokesh1783]

That flood was the reason for the _"great migration"_ of POC from the South to the Rust Belt.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Zeppelins version is based on the old song but is 95% original and their own.

[@wessew6185]

That fact is a good bar bet on when recorded.

[@baronfyrewhine]

@@revylokesh1783 So all the White people stayed?

[@fordism.01]

Love the way people react the first time they hear when the levee breaks . Led zeppelin hard to top them . The best rock band ever.

[@bobzorn6259]

YEAHHH😄 that's why Zep #1 in my book

[@dbuck1964]

Welcome to the world of real music.

[@markbishopmusic]

Led Zeppelin has so many different places to take you! I'd love to see your reaction to "Thank You" by them.

[@Happyheretic2308]

It's so beautiful...

[@Fnelrbnef]

I saw one video, and subbed at once. You bring a real, genuine thing to these reactions. A joy to watch!

[@mayamaia3130]

Hands down my FAVORITE Led Zep song!

[@williamtaylor9368]

I love your reactions, and especially love your description of angels falling next to each ear. Jayy, you are witnessing the greatest rock band of all time.

[@williamross7376]

Studio version of since I’ve been loving you. It’s one of their best

[@MsAppassionata]

What about the live version from TSRTS?

[@roddas26]

When you said "it remains the same" that was magical. Great reaction. Welcome to Led Zeppelin, enjoy.
