FIRST TIME HEARING Led Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying REACTION!!! 🔥

[@jbojoify]

led zep is the best rock band period.

[@joshhitxoriginal9367]

They are technically metal because of how the writing and structure of the music is set up.

[@ay_ay_ron2112]

Third for me !!

[@AG-OldmanBrick]

Zep is the best band in the history of bands by a wide margin. There are a lot of great bands in the history of music, but LZ has been the cream of them all since 1968.

[@grandpabambam]

John Paul Jones is genius....any instrument you hear that isn't guitar or drums on any Zep tune is being played by him... and him and Bonham live during Pages solo/jams is straight up phenomenal.. wouldnt be Zeppelin without any one of them.

[@altjacobs]

Just here to point out that Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones played keys on Boogie with Stu and Rock And Roll

[@HeathersCrochetCorner]

Robert Plant plays the tambourine and also plays the harmonica. If you notice, anytime that you hear the harmonica in their songs, Robert isn't singing. Otherwise, you're correct about JPJ playing everything else. :)

[@grandpabambam]

@@HeathersCrochetCorner ...absolutely! A damn good harmonica player at that! Didn't mean to dis Mr. Plant, thanks ✌

[@kennethpriestman4255]

That song was dedicated to Richie Valenz and they list his mother as one of the writers in the credits so she would receive royalties from it, due to the fact Richie got screwed out all his royalties by a shyster manager. Now that's what you call paying homage to the roots of R/R.@@altjacobs

The crescendo in this song is just sick. Otherworldly. Like no other song. Epic, epic! Great reaction!

[@brianbowman8310]

Great to see someone enjoying the best Led Zeppelin song ever. John Bonham killed it on the drums.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Zep was the master of dynamics. They'll take you down a slow smooth road, and then triple the tempo with a major punch in the face. This song, case in point.

[@askywithanalibi4948]

My favorite band of all time. They are the masters of all music trades and the jacks of none.

[@frankdascoli709]

Their diversity is staggering: rock(Dazed & Confused), blues(Tea for One), folk(Babe I’m Gonna Leave You), acoustic (Thank You) ballads(Rain Song), funk(Trampled Underfoot), middle eastern (Kashmir), epic 11 minute opus’ (Achilles Last Stand), mystical (Ramble On) , etc.,etc., etc.

[@danielhinde7981]

[@doomhunter697]

These 4 had such talent and played so well together. Unlike other bands, there was no egos clashing, and they actually 'fed' off each other, taking turns and following, then leading. They were so in sync with each other musically that when John Bonham passed, they knew they couldn't get the 'magic' with someone else.

[@JamesBrown-fd1nv]

Except the drugs that sidelined Page at times.

[@midkingsteve]

John Paul Jones also plays piano, organ, synthesizer, mandolin, and is an amazing arranger. Like in Kashmir, that isn't an orchestra that is JPJ playing a Melton (an early synthesizer that sounds like strings), and he wrote those parts. He is the sometimes unsung genius. Secret weapon. They are all insanely good at what they do.

[@fnieves01]

You are 100% correct my friend

[@davidkoch3618]

Don't forget jimmy page detuning his guitar strings for that signature riff throughout the song!

[@kikivon3501]

One of the most sampled drum riffs of all time

[@JamesBrown-fd1nv]

​@@kikivon3501 I saw a documentary about this and I believe that they recorded the drums in the foyer at Headly Grange because they had to put the drum kit out there for some reason. Bongo and Page noticed a perfect echo and the rest is history.

[@27thangel23]

So, Van, you've now joined your daughter Naia in becoming a Zep head! Good for you. This is a Blind Willie Johnson tune, but augmented by bits from 9 or 10 other old blues belters. Robert and Jimmy were both blues freaks in England (there are lots, you know)- JPJ was more classical/ pop; Bonzo was a jazz drummer til Robert convinced him to join Robert's prior band: Band of Joy. Jimmy and Robert frequently do those call and response efforts, and they always try to fool the other, then laugh and laugh! Check out 'You Shook Me' for a great example. btw Robert plays killer harmonica, and JPJ plays keys, guitar, mandolin (and probably more) as well as bass. And Jimmy did the production wizardry (he and JP were big time session musicians in London and got to know ALL the tricks). btw, Naia is crushing on Robert...

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

So nice to hear someone that knows the facts!

[@27thangel23]

PS I apologize to Niah for mis-spelling her name. And to you, Van for my error... sorry

[@corvettejohn4507]

Actually this song is much closer to Josh White's song "Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed" than the song by Blind Willie Johnson.

[@lynnemilazzo3904]

I saw them live in 1977 at Madison Square Garden NYC ..... right before John died .....

[@anitapaulus937]

I’ve read that JPJ used a fretless bass for this so he could slide as smoothly as Jimmy was with his slide guitar. The live version of this from Earl’s Court in 1975 is really good.

[@PeterTea]

Makes sense since Page is sliding all over the place on this.

[@danielceo4694]

Really enjoyed this reaction! This song is a heavy metal gospel march. We are marching on this to the battle field for our Lord! And when the music stops and Robert Plant tells out, "Oh, my Jesus!"...that takes me to church every time! I love how the song changes time signatures from heavy to funky to the most triumphant arena rock stride anyone has ever heard. That's what people sometimes forget, this band was heavy but funky! And every part played by every member of the group fits in perfectly, from Jimmy Page's slide guitar riffs to Robert Plant wailing, "Ooohwhooooaaaahhh! Yeah, yeah!" To Jonesy holding down a steady, counterpoint on the bass and Bonzo switching up the drum beats from metal march to a dance rhythm. There's a live video of Zep playing this at Earl's Court in 1975 that is simply amazing. Also, I would be remiss if I didnt recommend my favorite Led Zeppelin song, How Many More Times; you gotta check that out, especially if you find a live version of it!

[@bbb462cid]

...it's an homage and interpretation of several other songs, notable by one by Willie Johnson about 1928. Dylan also interpreted it, in the early 60s. Then Zeppelin kick started it and made it soar with another re-interpretation.

[@anitapaulus937]

I remember when you did Whole Lotta Love. Now you know why everyone reacted as they did. I really appreciate that you gave them another chance. Love your reactions!

[@artcordova6399]

That’s called a call and response when you start talking to each other thru the music.

"Call and response", you say? Which is standard in gospel music? Which he would've heard plenty of in *church*? Yeah, no way he would've known that already.

[@DavidCornwell-p3h]

I love it! You felt the same groove, incredible mind blowing performance also! Zeppelin is the best. No apologies needed! I think they did that live in the studio. Bonham saying at the end, “that’s the one , it’s gotta be the one!” WHOOO! What a performance

[@TheOpy83]

As a Zep fan, I am so glad when other people discover them. And you are right - "smooth" is the correct word too describe this song. I think these lyrics are taken from an old gospel song. Your reaction and joy to their song really made me smile.

[@ryanseanmusicandlove]

The guitar talking with Robert is referred to as 'call and response' it originated in spirituals sung in the plantation fields on the 1800,'s...I think

[@mitchhaelann9215]

Some people use their voices like musical instruments. And some people can turn their instruments into their voices. Led Zeppelin we masters of the later. They could make you feel loved with a riff or break your heart with a single lyric. So amazing to see you reacting to these masters of the musical arts.
