There is a reason John Bonham is considered one of the greatest Rock/ blues drummers. His ability to lay back and keep the beat behind the riff, and simultaneously bring power into the slow groove was ground breaking at the time.

Such a slippery, heavy groove. Legendary for being difficult to play (as Slash attests to), because the guitar riff goes into a different time signature, while the drums stay in 4/4. Outro solo is one of my favorites ever, so hooky, yet so raw...

[@tonyfranco5218]

I have always felt that that guitar lead-in had a recorded f-up towards the end there, is that the change in time signatures? , because it has always felt jarring to me...

@@tonyfranco5218 I think they meant for it to be jarring. The changing in time signatures is what makes it feel a bit floaty sometimes but makes it feel like locking in even more when they end up together again :)

Bonham also plays well behind the beat on those parts adding another layer of complexity.

[@sirtoby2070]

This was the first song my old rock band in school ever played. Listening back to the original, I have NO idea why we thought we could play it!

[@hesh8367]

This is one of those songs where the bass follows the guitar instead of staying in the pocket with Bonham. Bonham makes it work. He can handle the backbeat by himself. Pretty sure Page fluctuates between 9/8 and moves a half step to 10/8 (5/4) whilst Bonham sticks with 4/4, and then they come together for a punch on the cymbal. Pretty good stuff.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Most of the song is in 4/4 but during the transition Bonham continues the 4/4 while Jones and Page are playing 5/4, which causes a tension in the groove that at the time was unique for LZ in Rock music. It's something you hear a lot more of in Jazz.

The song is in 7/8 time. Bonham plays a 4/4 groove the entire song.

To progressive jazz like Return to Forever with Staley Clark, Chick Coria. And Al di meola. But Zeppelin was there favorite band in the world and it was mine also. And i saw them live twice in 77. And one of those times were with my two black friends. And when i think about those two guys all these years later. They remind me of the two of you. Zeppelin is one of the best bands to ever exist.

"The Ocean" on Houses of the Holy (album version) is one of Led Zeppelin's best songs for someone who just wants to hear them rock and not do an experimental thing, although it has a little bit of a different section at the end.

sorry to do this but “squeaky kick pedal” once you hear it, you can never un-hear it.

[@doofinator4285]

I agree with the original post. I appreciate the spontaneity and energy of the live tracks but the studio version is fabulous and the sound quality is far, far superior. 45 year old live recordings have horrendous sound quality and suffer greatly in dynamics as a result. Those are (typically) for hardcore fans that want to mix it up; they’re not what you use to introduce someone to a song that has major dynamic shifts. Side note, this is also my favorite Zep tune to play on guitar.

[@trespatines8698]

@@doofinator4285 Personally, I prefer the original recording than most live versions. It’s what the artist had in mind once they recorded it, mixed it, soundproofed it and decided to release it. There are a few exceptions, like anything in “Frampton Comes Alive” and several Cheap Trick’s songs in “Live in Budokan”. Elton John’s “Benny and the Jets” was recorded as if it were live, but it was not, and it came out perfect.

In My Time of Dying (for Heavy Blues) Since I’ve Been Loving You (for Traditional Blues) Interesting that you guys would say that about Robert’s “convincingness” as a blues singer. I grew up on blues as well way before bands like this opened the doors to me on rock. But of all the white British blues rock bands, to me Robert was one of the only ones that had that level of soul to me. I always considered him to be the male equivalent of Janis Joplin. Also, saying “more of this please” with zeppelin is kinda tricky. Every single track of theirs has a different feel and atmosphere. No two songs are alike.

Led Zeppelin's popularity and appeal comes from the fact that they DO have such a wide variety of genres in their catalog. Keep in mind, in The 1960s and 1970s, folk music was one of THE most popular forms of music with the hippie generation. The harder, heavier music is what drew me to Led Zeppelin and kept me around. As I heard more of their music, I really came to appreciate all of their music, especially the extremely bluesy music, like "Since I've Been Loving You" or "Tea For One". Then you have an extremely heavy, blues song in "How Many More Times", with that awesome bass guitar intro. One thing about Led Zeppelin is that they are NOT repetitive.

@@aldersmoke1 I changed my post from saying “entire” to “signature”. Obviously the song doesn’t cover everything but it does sum up the majority of their signature style.

It goes quiet and eerie during “I was a young man I couldn’t resist.” And “Call me the hunter, that’s my name”. I don’t think Iommi would have the sound he had without this first Led Zeppelin Album.

Drummer is playing in a way that gets out of time and back in time with what the rest of the band is doing. They could play this live but they usually changed it a little to make it easier to play. In jazz there is something called a turnaround. This song has a turnaround but the drummer plays like there isn't. It can throw your head a little for a loop. It's one of those songs where your head wants to be-bop, but the drummer is making it bop-bop.

I dont think it changes my liking it, I knew it was a jazz/blues inspired rock band, but it completely connected because sometimes I will hear someone sing, and it full-on does the lump in the throat, and raises the hair on your arms, and thats giving it everything you have, singing from the heart like you were discussing. Jennifer Hudson, Tom Jones, Aretha Franklin, these are the first people that come to mind for me that have that amazing sincerity. I started watching your channel because I enjoyed your discovery of music I grew up with and love. It just flipped for me because your insights are helping me understand something I thought I already knew. Thank you.

IMHO if you want something with a HEAVY groove that I think you guys will love, you need to listen to The Ocean by Led Zepplin.

[@michaeldvick]

Thank you! You guys are appreciated. Love your reviews

Story goes: while recording this album/track-a stray (black) dog was hanging around the studio….& the rest is history.

[@skvanharen]

Nice video! My favorite little tidbit about this song is that you can hear Bonham click them in on many sections of the call and response. So cool.

[@Than_McDowell]

They actually wrote this song themselves. They should get a double writing credit for that.

[@Tiger-fq1rw]

"Ramble On" and "Misty Mountain Hop" will get your groove on.

Best band of all-time

[@darkcrysisii5054]

Nah.. pink floyd is far better

[@stephenbradley3153]

Both Zeppelin and Floyd are the 2 most overrated bands of all time.

[@darkcrysisii5054]

@@stephenbradley3153 I'd like your opinion on what the best band is?? You seem like one of those dull edgy kids who don't have an opinion of their own but choose to condemn every other person's own.

[@Magic_Man916]

@@darkcrysisii5054 Floyd is great.. but from an objective point of view.. JPJ- best bassist ever, Jimmy Page- top 5-10 guitarist all-time.. Robert Plant- top 5 rock vocalist of all-time.. and Bonham- top 3 drummer all-time.. they were a real supergroup

the led zepplin marathon was so sad, seemed like I could get with Ryan’s comments about Stairway-and couldnt say that song has aged all that well.And you ended with that. And there’s So Much More to them. So much more to explore, glad to see this reaction!

MY MOM WHOM DIED 3 YEARS AGO (94 YEARS OLD) LOVED THIS SONG. SHE ALWAYS SAID : HE SENT CHILLS DOWN HER SPINE.. MAKES ME THINK OF MY MOM. GOOD SONG...

[@Supermann98]

Dazed and Confused, best Zeppelin song ever … if it doesn’t make the playlist I’d be shocked. Also, Since I’ve been loving you is amazing as many here have already recommended

A black dog in a dream symbolizes someone around you who may be trouble. Generally seen as a bad omen or at least a warning. The girl has little flags that he keeps noticing is my interpretation.

[@LordEagle]

The timeless battle between the Big head and the Little head,,,,🤪🤪🤪

[@alrivers2297]

This song got its name because of an actual stray black dog that was hanging near the studio during recording of this album

[@DocAmitay]

*This* is the song that turned me on to Zeppelin as a young boy many decades ago, playing it on the jukebox at my favourite greasy spoon over and over with quarters I could not afford...

[@gamleskalle1]

Random title. A dog kept hanging around the band in rhe studio.

[@AlisonReacts]

My dad has been playing led zep, Lynard skynard, ccr, and so mannnny other rock bands of that era since before I was born and they’re still my favourites, and my entire music taste reaches back to the 50’s because of my dad 😊 I’m so effing stoked to see other people appreciating these artists, and I feel very special and sometimes a little rare as a 90’s baby to know these artists inside out 🥰

[@kmburton]

If it helps, just a little perspective about the era of "psychedelic blues" since I lived through it. Britain was bombed into dust in WWII as was most of Europe and most of the people in Britain lived in hardship/poverty while the country was being rebuilt from 1946 to 1960 . Delta Blues from the US wasn't really supported in the US, but, the BBC played it in Britain. Many of the kids growing up during that time resonated with a lot of the messaged in blues. With the 1960s the British Invasion began with British bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones coming and playing to sold out crowds in the US. You are correct that it doesn't sound like Delta Blues. It was something the British bands had made their own incorporating their experiences coming out of WWII. The weird thing to me in the 60s was that blues players in the US had a hard time getting their music out in the US. Take for example Jimi Hendrix had a hard time until he went to Britain in the 60s and amazed them all and became a superstar in Europe. THEN, he came back to the US for tours and the same peeps that had rejected him before a completely different mind set about him. Sorry for the wall of text, but, I know neither of you were alive at that time so I thought I might interject some context.

[@kmburton]

For Ryan, don't worry about it, lol. If die hard Zepplin fans that grew up with the their music are honest they had a love/hate relationship with Zepplin over their career with Zepplin. They fell in love with the hard hitting music on Led Zepplin 1 & 2. But, things began to change starting with 3 after they took a long break because they were worn out from constantly touring. They began experimenting with all kinds of music from around the world. Because of the reaction to some of the songs on 3 like Tangerine or That's the Way were disliked by many Zep fans. 4 went back to a lot of what the fans wanted. But, then Houses of the Holy came out and many fans hated it. For me though this one of the reasons I have always loved Zepplin. Because 4 great musicians proved they were talented enough to play any genre of music over a relatively short period of time when the band disbanded because of the death of Bohnam in 1979. So about a decade...

Okay seriously people, pay attention to what George and Ryan say on these videos. They want the groove, the soul, DON'T JUST START LISTING YOUR FAVORITE SONGS! As far as I'm concerned guys, there's one song and one song only you should check out next: Heartbreaker! It is GUARANTEED to be that raw groovey bluesy sound you'll love!

[@mutate34]

they only read suggestions on Patreon now anyway

[@neilandfi]

Honest reviewers ! First time I've watched one of your videos, and much as I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, I'd far rather hear you guys saying what you really think in a considered way than someone telling me what I want to hear.... I'm an adult... I don't need that shit... I need THIS shit ! Respect to you both.

[@wallhome464]

You would love their "Celebration Day" live album. I prefer most versions of most songs off that album, including Black Dog and No Quarter.

[@kevinmaillet4712]

The celebration version of Kashmir is kick ass!!!!

[@Incomudro1963]

No. Plant's voice can't handle these songs live.

[@jorgejimenez-velez648]

This sounded great at Madison Square Garden in NYC late 70's concert. I played hooky from work. Great concert, love your very honest commentary.
