I love your reaction. It's precisely the reason the parents of daughters were terrified of Led Zeppelin ;)

[@thomashiggins9320]

LoL! 😆 Hell yeah! I'm fairly certain Jimmy Page would've liked her, too. And it might've been... *memorable* , for her -- but not necessarily the *greatest* experience. 😬 Those were *very* different times.

[@mushin0247]

🤣🤣🤣

[@user-qq1uy8qj6l]

For this song, the band had no title. There was a black dog that was hanging around the studio. So the song ultimately was just called black dog after the animal. There are a lot of songs of theirs to check . Enjoy the journey. All 4 members are stars. Jimmy Page was a great innovator and experimented with lots of styles and tempos. Check out these: Immigrant Song live 1972, You Shook Me, The Ocean, When The Levee Breaks, Stairway To Heaven Live, Whole Lotta Love. Heartbreak/ Living Loving Maid ( play together ).

[@Musicmanrobert]

Cool info thanks did not know that

[@rons3634]

That's the story I heard as well.

[@masudaharris6435]

I bought my first Led Zeppelin album over 50 years ago. I always knew there was some extraordinary about this band, something that made them stand out amongst all the others of the era. They seemed to exist on their own, without borrowing from any other band. They made me question what I was listening to at that time. Only Jimi Hendrix and Police had that effect on me.

[@chrisdavid-gh5yb]

Hi Steph, your next Led Zeppelin reaction simply has to be Dazed and Confused live from MSG 1973. It's a 29 minute masterpiece that many consider to be the greatest live performance of all time. Jimmy Page puts on a performance that's mind blowing. Unfortunately the full version can only be found on Facebook or Dailymotion, but there is a KZbin full HD version of the first 10 minutes of the song that is well worth reacting to. Keep up the good work, love your reactions.

[@scotttrainer9704]

If that version is available I would agree. For some reason whoever manages the Zeppelin page pulls it down a lot and people react to some shortened version.

[@randyfender6122]

Zeppelin is definitely a favorite of mine. I had MSG tickets reserved when John died. When I heard I went home, sat down with my boo. Box and Sony headphones and listened to all their albums back to back to back. I could recommend many songs, and if you have time, I would go with my favorite, The Rain Song. I've always been partial to the studio version, and my favorite live version is from )age and Plant, No Quarter, so no John. What I really want you to react to is Stevie Ray Vaughn, Texas Flood ( Live at the El Macambo). This will get you started on possibly the greatest Rock/Blues guitarist that ever lived. He was almost beyond human when he was in the groove. The music just flowed out of him.

[@BillWalker3rd]

I worked security at the Fabulous Forum in SoCal during this time and they were always generous (and totally sold out) so would add shows even WHEN they were in the middle of a week’s worth of shows or more. I saw them play live more than 25 times over the years as a result. I will tell you in the spirit we’re talking here, that when they did this song, by the 2nd time they were asking for the audience to participate, EVERYONE including us were giving it back…no matter how “Cool” you were, they always brought us along during the concert. Those talking disco are right. THAT dominated the “scene” where I worked at least and it was almost like LedZep were single-handedly guarding Rock…and when Bonzo died, and they disbanded, Rock started going dormant….and I decided to heck with my side job, and focused instead of my college….times change for better or for worse…. 😢

[@mr.knowitall6440]

There was nothing "fabulous" about the (old) Forum. Every concert I've seen there, the sound SUCKED. 🤬

[@BillWalker3rd]

@@mr.knowitall6440 Sorry you feel so let down by that place. It held a lot of other functions besides being the largest venue for concerts. Being the largest obviously is not always being the best. Besides I got to work the Front rows, or backstage so esp with LedZep, sound quality was never an issue. FYI, just about every one of their concerts there was recorded at the soundboard and there are many bootlegs if you want to travel back in time and hear what you missed out on.

[@user-nu3uc9fp3s]

Dude...I hate you...of course, i am kidding...i am just incredibly jealous...i was just starting college at WFU and had landed tix to the Greensboro show when we lost the greatest drummer of all-time...lucky that Peter Grant was smart enough to video so many of their live performances that we can still enjoy them thru youtube...take care and thanks for the comment

[@BillWalker3rd]

@@user-nu3uc9fp3s For our generation, that was the day the music died….dammmmmmit!

[@vernhoke7730]

You should react to this whole concert. This was filmed over 3 nights at Madison Square Garden in 1973, and the footage would later be used in their movie "The Song Remains the Same" that came out in, I believe 1975. I remember seeing it in the movie theater and had the album, too. Black dog became the name after Robert showed the band the song he wrote while at Headley Grange recording Led Zeppelin IV, and he remembered a scroungy black dog that was roaming the property there.

[@boki1693]

1976. :)

[@jeffsaviola2109]

I was at the second show !!! Whooo

[@RobertDavisAdman]

The Ocean is fabulous!

[@billmckee1123]

Steph, yes The Ocean is great too. But The Song Remains the Same/Rain Song is the best!! all from the same concert!! 1973 Madison Square Garden

[@jakeenan]

Kashmir live at Knebworth in 1979 is one epic experience. You'll definitely love that one.

[@victorxyz]

Steph, there is a track from the same concert Dazed & Confused, its a 30 minute guitar epic that is mind blowing!

[@boki1693]

Be warned about Dazed and Confused from MSG. It seems they have removed the full version from youtube and the best you can find is a version that cuts off a little before it's half over. However, if you look up the entire concert on youtube, you can get the entire song from the concert.

[@victorxyz]

@@boki1693 I can never understand why they do this, if you look at the official whole lotta love video they've cut part of the abstract middle section including my favourite parts. There are so many first time reactions to this without people realising its a cut down version.

[@boki1693]

@@victorxyz Of course you can. Money. LOL. Yeah, they did that so long ago with Whole lotta Love, i don't even notice it any more. I used to think it was because some random fan thought they wanted to control what we watched and how they wanted us to watch it. But then it was brought to my attention that the record companies were doing it with their "official" versions. They release the official version and block all the other versions. Or just plain block the other versions. I am sure you have also noticed that "Since I've been Loving you is not the original version of the song as well.

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Zeppelin is my favourite band so i've subscribed in anticipation. Enjoy.

[@Harbringe]

Even when Plante would go off script add little flairs here and there to the song , the rest would still stay with it as if it was supposed to be that way. Such a right band they could pick up on each other's ques as if it was nothing.

[@Voogelschreck]

You wanna listen to more classic rock bands and you like talented singers and guitarists? *I would suggest Queen.* Their liveshows were always mindblowing! "Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal" would be a good start. You already reacted to covers of Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions and We Will Rock you; these songs are all originally from Queen.

[@danieljean6882]

this is the number one band in history of the world in every category!!

[@AKR8810]

Looking forward to your reactions to the bands you mentioned. Another great band from the 1970's is Deep Purple. Child in Time 1970 live (official video) is one of their best songs and performances. For the next Led Zeppelin I think a must see is Kashmir (live at Knebworth 1979) (official video). I've been enjoying all your Led Zeppelin reactions and great job on this one.

[@anthonyshoop575]

Over The Hills and Far Away by Zeppelin was a life changing experience for me. I think you should check that one out.

[@anggie2904]

Lol I'm with you sista. Jimmy is just soo talented and fascinating to see, his handsome face is a bonus. I recommend you to react to Dazed and Confused live at Royal Albert Hall 1970.

[@HeavyBrocks]

Subscribed for more Zeppelin reactions! 😁 My suggestion for a next reaction from this concert would be The Song Remains The Same/Rain Song. Two songs put together so well it’s crazy. The Rain Song is one of their best, without doubt!

[@smoothmove7566]

I can't wait till you land on Pink Floyds Pulse concert. It'll change you I guarantee it.

[@scottc1200]

The Ocean is a good tune. I was fortunate enough to see them perform about 5 songs off of every Led Zeppelin album live in concert, nice and close to the stage. Jimmy Page was a session guitarist, playing lead guitar on many other bands' albums. He uses little to no guitar effects used by guitarists today. Virtually ALL the sounds he makes with the guitar in which other guitarists try to find what effects devices he uses to get his sounds, are not devices at all. He plays mostly a clean amplifier sound without effects. He gets the sounds from advanced guitar techniques he utilizes while playing. As a session guitarist, he has to be able to play pretty much anything he's hired to play. That includes different styles and genres of music. It is evident as one listens to the songs off of their many albums. He seems to merge many different styles of music onto the rock he plays. They were from a time without autotune or the things musicians have available today. They had to actually play and perform everything without any technological aids. They had to actually have skill and talent.

[@johnpbh]

Loving your reactions... Glad I am here for you on the journey.

[@rondickinson8741]

If you could find the ocean from the same concert 1973, Madison Square Garden, it’s sick!!!! could tell the way you’re reacting that you need to watch the movie. The song remains the same download it by the DVD whatever you Gotta do it’s the Led Zeppelin documentary from the 1973 Madison Square Garden concert and it shows a little clips of their lives in England and on stage backstage behind stage and you get to see the whole concert as well. It is something unbelievable. We go see it. We were teenagers in the 70s and 80s at the movie theater. You gotta check it out. it’s it’s a it’s a once in a lifetime experience you will fall in love with Led Zeppelin, thanks Ron and America 60 years old and loving your reactions. Love to see anybody come together from Music. It makes World go round rock on.

[@federicorinaldi2044]

Hello, Steph, now that your inn the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. You have to check out "In my Time of Dying". The live version, of course. Take care, enjoy the journey

[@vincentvancraig]

they recorded the fourth album at a big house in the country, there was literally a black dog that hung around & leave at night & stagger back in the morning after a night of doing what dogs do, dog parties & stuff....um, so, yeah, so they named this song "black dog"

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

Love your enthusiastic reaction . My old neighborhood in the 70's could have used more girls like you "back in the day" 🙂They were all into that disco thing 😖 . I saw Led Zeppelin as my very 1st concert in 1977 , the last night of a 6 show run at Madison Square Garden . As it would turn out with John Bonham's death , It would wind up being their final live performance ever in New York City .

[@boki1693]

I feel your pain. The best we could hope for was them going to a Styx concert with us. Otherwise, we were taking them to a disco and we had to wait outside drinking beer in the parking lot because the entrance age was higher for guys than girls. :( I actually didn't hate disco until this started happening.

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

@@boki1693 and the weird thing is I like to dance . In that context I don't mind the disco songs because that was their purpose , being at Happy Hour in a bar with dancing as part of the fun , I'd always be the easiest gut to get on the dance floor . Those dumb disco girls couldn't tell the difference between music that had meat to it as opposed to the mindless & relentless disco beat & song lyrics that would make you cringe because they were so bad .

[@boki1693]

@@user-bh5jv8hi3b I so agree. Except, I couldn't dance a lick. But, put a few beers in me and I just didn't care. And most guys I knew didn't like to dance. So the fact that even though I was bad, at least I would dance so the girls ended up dancing with me anyway. That is if I could even get into the club. I live just outside NYC on Long Island. In the late 70's the Son of Sam, "44 caliber killer" was shooting young people making out in their cars, outside the discos in mostly Brooklyn and Queens. That did more to kill disco around NYC than anything else.

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

I grew up in Brooklyn literally a mile away from the club where "Saturday Night Fever"s dance scenes were filmed so I'm well aware of the Son of Sam saga . I hated the effect the whole disco thing had on the neighborhood in general . FUN FACT 🙂 I loved to wear my Grateful Dead t-shirt which read "Disco Sucks ! Play Dead !"

Not all songs are available as a live performance with a video. There is a video available of the song " In My Time of Dying" from Earls Court in 1975. Other songs from the 1973 MSG show are harder to find. If you can find them you should do "No Quarter" and " The Rain Song" from MSG 1973. Amazing songs.

[@Musicmanrobert]

Wow welcome back Stephanie I wondered about you. First off is should be noted that this song is not about a “black dog” nor apparently references one is any type of way, shape or form. Rather the title was inspired by an actual animal which fit this description that used to roam around the studio where Led Zeppelin worked on their fourth album (which this song is featured on). They befriended the canine and, amidst experiencing writer’s block when trying to come up with a title, decided to name this track after it.

[@HeavyBrocks]

A little bit more to it than that… This dog would wander off and “do the things dogs do” (hump any female dog it ran into) so that’s how they connected it to this song, which is obviously sexual in nature.

[@fernandomorenomujica4791]

[@McZorr0101]

The title, Black Dog, although it is correct to say it was named after a dog that the band saw outside the Henley Grange studio, was not just used arbitrarily. The Black Labrador would disappear in the evening then reappear in the morning, tired and would seem to sleep all day. The implication being that the dog, like the subject of the song, was spending his nights pursuing his lust and was being similarly taken advantage of.

[@rickburke6936]
