My Girlfriend Reacts To Led Zeppelin - Ramble On!!!

[@onelove1968]

Nothing warms my heart more than watching young people like yourselves listening to bands like Led Zeppelin.

[@mikegrady5669]

The percussion at the beginning is the drummer ( the late great Bonham) tapping his sticks on Page's guitar case. Great vid guys

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Been listening to this since 1970. Had no idea. Thaks

[@frankmarsh1159]

No sticks. Just his bare hands.

Another Zeppelin banger!!! You can’t ever go wrong with them. Never just a song, more like a musical experience!!!

[@TheCornishCockney]

The 60’s,70’s and 80’s were an absolute blast. I thank God I was born in ‘54 and soaked the whole wonderful era into my DNA. Great time to be alive. By the way,I saw Hendrix’s last live public appearance in 1970.

Amazing, Hendrix was another level.

“Hi Olivia!” Another one of their best songs. Great choice! Wait until she hears THE RAIN SONG.

As with a few lyricists around the late 60's & 70's the works of Tolkien were a big influence. One of my favourite tunes off Led Zep 2.

[@betsyduane3461]

That's John Bonham, human metronome

[@jmar7631]

It's not clear what Bonham played to make that sound. Some drummers say it sounds like he's drumming on a plastic garbage pail, others say it was a guitar case, maybe his seat. I think it sounds like he was drumming on either a guitar case or his seat. Glad you enjoyed "Ramble On", Alivia. :) Edit: I just read an article I hadn't seen before and yet another drummer said he might have been playing that bit on a practice pad. 🤷 Apparently, none of the guys ever said.

[@kevinbrady6075]

Not sure on that,if you have a guitar case try it!John started out banging on his mum's pots and pans as a youngin' ! mum brought his first drum set,...😉

[@johnlamere2189]

The faded ends were more likely the recording engineer's idea. The album "Led Zeppelin II" was the first time working with recording engineer Eddie Kramer he had worked on some big records already, and those endings make it sound more polished. Which I'm sure the record company liked that.

[@viclagina347]

You gotta understand guys that THIS is what we did for fun, there were no distractions like phones, video games and other things. We used to go to the record store (look it up) for hours and hang, bands would do album signings and other live appearances, sometimes play a set, WE would wait in line all night for a new release like they do now for a new iphone....iPhone..... Ah good times

[@nhzrocks]

I've read that the tapping during the intro was John Bonham tapping on a guitar case?

[@ravenwind1062]

that's the best guessd we've gotten but we don't know for sure....

[@nhzrocks]

@@ravenwind1062 I actually thought it was tapping on the hollow body of an acoustic guitar!

That is what I heard too

[@innercircle341]

amazing watching you kids grooving to these tracks from my youth 50+ years ago!! Super cool that you dig it. Dang, where did the time go?

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

The use of fade outs in older music maybe because of the time limits on a vinyl album side, by fading out the songs you get a little more wiggle room when compiling the tracks or maybe song endings hadn’t been invented yet. Great reaction.

[@jeffrussell3696]

Loved watching your facial expressions Silas, this song brings it out. New subscriber.

[@mikebunner3498]

[@stephenord3403]

Saw the mighty Zep way back. 67 now good to young people listening to Zep

[@cheripetty1805]

Music Fades out because of Radio. As one song subsides, the DJ starts another song to take over. Very common back in the day!

[@StarCitizenSpeakeasy]

the fade off is good for radio which was the primary broadcasting method. during the fadeout the DJ can do zir thing.

[@jamesstrickland2764]

I always like watching peoples reactions to Led Zeppelin, I’m 69 years young and still listen to them every week. Went and seen them live when I was about 16 in south Florida. I was right up front and it was amazing. Hope you and your girlfriend continue to react to many more songs together.

I'm so glad your notifications are finally coming up for me,I love watching you guys. I saw Zeppelin in 69 I've always thought there 1st album is the best ever, that was a good Pink Floyd song, but I'm dying for you to see Comfortably Numb from Pulse concert, it's Considered one of the best guitar solos ever, also Sorrow or anything from that concert is phenomenal 😍

[@vanessarupe2039]

Again with the black Camaro. You’re killing me this morning with the memories. Led Zep. Sweet memories. ✌🏻❤️from Texas

[@brolinofvandar]

I worked weekends as a DJ at my hometown radio station for a couple of years in the mid-70's. As such, and because I like segues, I paid attention to the beginnings and endings of songs. I liked to sequence songs I played on the air to sort of flow together, rather than abruptly changing style. How I did that depended on if it was a cold ending, or a fade out. Or, as was mentioned, a fade out that returns in a few seconds. Anyway, based on that experience, I can say that, at least for the records I had available for airplay, it was a largely 50-50 mix of endings. Fadeouts do seem more common on single release mixes, however.

[@EsqChrio]

One of my favorite songs along with Bring it On Home and Over the Hills and Far Away.

[@gsparkman]

In the Beatles’ catalog you”ll find many, if not most, songs have a definitive ending. It was hallmark of their more sophisticated writing. But yes, most songs in general faded out.

[@ledzeppacker]

And they still do today.

[@thane9]

Summery vibe is perfect for all Zeppelin songs imho.

[@charliejepsen485]

Just a reminder they only had 8 tracks to record with in those days . Only Abbey Road by the the Beatles had an 8 track studio to work with . All their previous albums were done using 4 tracks . Amazing ! Some of the Zeppelin albums were recorded at Headley Grange a Fsrm estate in the country . They would record in stairwells, closets , bathrooms to get a particular sound . Jimmy had a lot of experience as a session musician before being in a band . He would ask the the engineers endless questions to get a tone . He would fiddle and experiment to get what he wanted . He produced all their albums .There is a excellent interview with him at Oxford Union we’re he talks about this . Worth a listen definitely. S

[@mariopardillo8618]

Nice reaction guys! It's so great to watch someone experience these songs for the first time. I grew up in the '60s and '70s with bands like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones, Beatles - there was so much great music back then. I encourage you guys to explore some of these other bands as well. However, I'm not one of those folks who think there is no good music these days. I'd like to suggest you explore a band from Finland called Nightwish. They are a Symphonic Metal group that was formed in the 90's and in my opinion belongs in the company of the bands I mentioned from my youth. They are unbelievable in live performance and I would recommend checking out "Ghost Love Score" from their 2013 live performance at Wacken Open Air Festival - link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmOUlYuHgrOCh9U I think you'll enjoy them - your dad will too!

[@williamdavidjanda1789]

Childhood grooves

[@mauricestevenson5740]

FYI: the title shows this recording as being a 1990 Remaster. Be that as it may - it was originally released in 1969. Which means nothing except that I was 17 when it came out, not 38. And that music hit my 17-year-old brain like a sock full of wet sand. I have always loved "Ramble On". Along with pretty much everything else Led Zeppelin recorded.

[@liffick]

"A summery vibe?" Clearly it's about the fall!

[@mike-mz6yz]

I think the reason for the fade instead of sharp end to songs is because of how we listen to music. Back then you are listen to vinyl and its much harder to pick a specific song and listen to just that. So songs tend to blend into the next on the album much more. Now every song is an individual piece. People listen to particular songs way more then albums, so the whole experience is aimed towards a self contained piece.

[@stevewalsh4850]

Goats 🐐

[@ContrarianCorner]

Regarding the fading volume at the end of most songs of that era... You have to remember that most people heard songs on the radio back then and the DJ had to have a way of knowing when one song was ending so he/she could be ready to start the next one. The extended fade out provided that cue.

The tapping is John Bonham beating ln a plastic drum in the foyer of Jimmy Page's house. Maybe my fave Led song. At athe newspaper I used to work at we would ask celebrities, like touring rock stars, what they were reading and othe rquestions. Ace Frehely of Kiss said he was reading Lord of the Rings so he could understand Led Ze;ppelin better. True story. This may be my fave Led song.
