Reaction to LED ZEPPELIN - "WHOLE LOTTA LOVE" (Live at The Royal Albert Hall 1970)

[@duanebarrett9839]

This was January 9th, 1970. I saw them perform this song April 8, 1970 in Dorton Arena, Raleigh, NC. when I was 17. The best concert to this day that I ever saw. That puts them above Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers Band, Jethro Tull and many others. 10 years later the band broke up after the accidental death of the band's drummer, John Bonham.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for more Led Zeppelin

[@arbondisunarjo6894]

Robert was powerful masculine vast range accrobatic vocalist setting standard for hard rock and metal screamers. I was awed when I first heard Zeppelin in early 70's on Black Dog and instantly attracted to him. I later discovered that the other band members were masters on their instruments. What a rare and great combination. The chemistry among them were amazing.

[@williamburkholder769]

This song has accompanied more "back seat boogie" in the last 55 years than probably any other. It's irresistible. Preachers everywhere have often condemned it. Youth everywhere have often embraced it. Good to see you singing along.

[@steelcity3534]

This concert is 17 months (less than a year and a half) after they first played together. 2 Albums released and playing this tight live. They performed 'Whole Lotta Love' for the majority of their career (mainly as an encore). This 1970 recording is very good. The performance of 'Whole Lotta Love' we all know from 1973 Madison Square Garden is roughly twice as long and has excellent footage of Jimmy performing his magic on the theremin with call/response with Robert Plant. Some other surprises in there for you, Verdy. Whether you post a reaction to it or do it on your own time, it is a must watch (among many others). Thank you for the reaction, and look forward to seeing your socks get knocked off when you listen to LZ IV. tc

[@rickandreola7144]

My God they were so fucking great. This is them at their peak. Plant's voice was so high back then. Unbelievable.

[@williamcabell142]

The GOATS...PERIOD! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Sweet pretty lady, you are my favorite, and most insightful reactor!

[@27thangel23]

Good to see a young person GET it. Well done you. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

[@custardflan]

Amazing that 52 years later we're still rocking out to it.

[@greg2976]

So many memories from this song!!!!! What an era to be young and alive!!!! Thank you!

[@bishlap]

FEELING THAT COMMENT!! I was 10 when Zep-2 was released and even at that age I knew I liked what I'd heard and still do!!!

[@vernhoke7730]

It's always enjoyable watching a younger generation react to music I grew up with. I first heard this on the radio in 1970 or so. Went out and got the album shortly after. Enjoy!

[@nicklaswestberg1083]

That riff is really outstanding.

[@jurgeneigendorf6851]

love your reaction vids to Zeppelin ..you're so cute, you could see the adrenaline rise in you lol !! Keep the Zeppelin up :)))

[@whiteblack5441]

lol...welcome back miss verdy...try and not wander to far miss young lady...best wishes...all is well

[@paulobrien9572]

Verdy as I watch your reactions to such great music of the past, with each video there is a tangible level of appreciation and enjoyment that is such a joy to watch. Please continue your journey through music I'll be watching

[@unstrung65]

Your reaction is always enjoyable to watch - you always make apparent the pleasure you feel from what you are listening to . When you mime an instrument it always feels in rhythm , in other words - it looks right ( as one who plays guitar ) And your mining an era of music that has endless rewards .

[@AqualungsBreath]

This is for obvious reasons one of the most iconic Songs in Rock history.

[@pipco121234]

G’day Verdi from Oz, i was 12 when I heard this on the radio in late 69, i was blown out of my scone, then managed to see them live at Memorial Drive Adelaide, $4:90 a ticket. Wish i still had it,☹️

[@Macdelaven]

You're instinctively smooth transition from air guitar to air drum is exactly how my friends and I reacted to this song. This song was our "get pumped up for tonight's activity song" throughout my teens. So glad you enjoy this song. Jimmy rocks the theremin!

[@tanyaweathersby9393]

❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤

[@Wben113]

I really enjoy your reactions. I also enjoy looking at you, you are a very attractive young lady. Your love of music makes you even more attractive. Stay happy, it really suits you.

[@tektoniks_architects]

This entire show is complete fire. One of Zeppelin's greatest shows. Led Zep 4....let's go!

[@unklebacon44]

You're not in my algorithm enough.nthe smile while jamming is contagious 😁

[@ranger9991]

Robert Plant at his absolute prime.

[@scotttrainer9704]

I think this concert was on Jimmy Page's birthday. I heard his vest was a gift from his mother.

[@jann1800able]

in my time of dying live 1975 from mothership is great. kashmir live 1979 from knebworth is good too. by 1979 you can see how robert plants voiced mellowed out.

[@jasonremy1627]

Great live version!

[@jamespayton5528]

Tina S./ Tina S./ Tina S.!!! You will love Tina S.!!!

[@manuellaboriante207]

V E R D Y , YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL . PERIOD. !!!

[@tonybaker55]

I was 14 when this was released; It shaped my youth. Trying to replicate studio sounds never really works though. John Bonham was a genius drummer and it is no wonder the band could not continue after his death.

[@CoupTT]

You’re a fuckin legend for doing this bro never stop!

[@princeofpcos9804]

GOATS

[@sdom4471]

Je les ai vus en 1975 , j'avais 15 ans , j'aime à rappeler qu'après 10 mn de concert vos oreilles étaient hors service , le son était tellement puissant et intense que vous viviez le concert avec les vibrations sur votre corps entier , j'ai vu par la suite un grand nombre de concert de grand groupe , mais jamais avec un son aussi démentiel qui en faisait presque peur . Incroyable !!!

[@kovie9162]

It's amazing how so many people across the generations who love the Beatles also love Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and a few other classic rock groups like the Who, Kinks and Cream, especially since some of these groups tended to play very different kinds of rock music, but it was all GOOD rock music that has aged extremely well. I've heard some disparage it as "Dad Rock", but only if dad was a really cool dad (not mine, alas). It was also honest music, from the heart and soul and not just intended to sell maximal records, just like the music it was all based on, the blues, along with early country, R&B and folk. One other band I'd include in this category (among others too many to name) is the Allman Brothers, who for some reason most music reactors aren't covering these days, but those guys could ROCK.

[@jerrywilde6156]

Miss Verdy, the thing to realise is that Robert Plant was only 21 years old when that concert took place yet he had a stage presence and vocal control of someone at least 10 years older. Jimmy Page was 26 but had been one of the absolute top session guitarists in London, John Paul Jones was 24, with a reputation for being able to play anything that had strings as well as being one of the "go to guys" for arrangements, and then we had the one and only John Henry (Bonzo) Bonham who was almost 22 and relatively unknown outside of his Midlands base but became the defining rock/blues drummer of his age (along with two Londoners of minor note, Ginger Baker of Cream and Pete Townsend of The Who). The entire band had a repertoire and "tightness" that groups who'd been together for 10 to 15 years strived for, mostly failing. I remember listening to them for the first time in 1969, as a teenager, and just being blown away, I got goosebumps down my spine from the experience and I think, from your facial expressions during that performance, that you would have had an absolute blast had you been around then too - the down side is that you'd now be in your 60s and that would never do, as we'd all be denied the undeniably vicarious thrill of seeing someone of your generation exhibit the same emotions, reactions and pure, unadulterated joyous enjoyment of Led Zeppelin (and some other bands and artists of that era) in the same way that so many of us had upon our first hearings, over 50 years ago (a psychiatrist would call it "confirmation bias" but, let us not quibble about terminology).

[@marchughes991]

Hi Jerry - I think you meant Keith Moon, not Pete Townshend, as the drummer of The Who! 😉

[@jerrywilde6156]

@@marchughes991 Hi Marc, how right you are - a momentary lapse in concentration (or "Brain fart" as it used to be described) 😁👍

[@helfgott1]

Dear Lady now I am a 62 years german. My father had on of the first tape recorders in my neighbourhood. There was a radio station every wednesday only for 45 Minitues . And the host was ALWAYS talking into the last 30 seconds into the song. Still it was the only way for us so we recorded every single second of this song. Hiding in my grandma 's garden behind some bushes we went crasy about this music. Didnt understand a single word.My father called it n... music. Still every week we met and i kissed my first girlfriend ❤❤

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Watch Whole Lotta Love from MSG ‘73…..different animal. It was the show closer and they lengthened it and improvised and had a rockabilly section in it. And it ended with flames……literally. A must watch. It also had the first “mic drop” I’ve ever seen.

[@dynjarren8355]

I’m surprised you like hard or heavy Rock so much. But I’m also glad because you get it! It’s powerful stuff! And I enjoyed your reactions to this song. You were grooving to it and that’s what it does! It puts you in a groove! Like a Rocket blasting off! Hardly anyone makes music like this today. Jack White is the closest one musician playing hard Rock Blues based music today. I’m glad you liked the song! 👏🏻😎

[@rosuobs3972]

Doh!!!!! I clicked on this thinking it was 'Whole Lotta Rosie', from River Plate, bit of a let down when it started but still an excellent song. Maybe you'll do that one in the future, hope so its really fantastic

[@jaimepapa662]

Hello Verdy, cuando te preguntabas cual era el sonido de "puerta que se abre" (distortion). En esta presentación esta la respuesta... el theremín. Excelente reacción (como siempre) a la mejor banda de rock de toda la historia.

[@taylortyler1867]

You really should do an album reaction of "News of the World" by Queen. One of the best albums ever. The inside (centerfold, so to speak) artwork is my favorite of any album too. It's a robot reaching through a hole in the roof of an auditorium or stadium, about to grab a handful of people. I love it I'm sure you've heard "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions", but the rest of the album is even better. Give it a listen. I think you'll love it too.

[@gregbacon9808]

Please Please Please do Zeppelin 4 Soon🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I keep checking your channel Every Saturday Hoping to Finally See you Listening to Those Songs on Zep 4😁🙏🏻👍🏻

Achilles last stand -- Led Zeppelin (Knebworth)!! Only if you want to see and listen the best: guitar, bass and drums players. The singer is pretty good too ;).

[@justinatest9456]

At 2:40 you mention the guitar distortion. That high pitch guitar sound is called feedback. It's caused when the sound of the guitar comes from the amp and back into the guitar pickup, which goes to the amp and then back into the guitar pickup, repeatedly, which creates a "feedback loop". The frequencies are building on themselves, through 'sympathetic vibration'. Not trying to correct you, just trying to help you build your understanding of the music. Guitar feedback can be a beautiful thing, and is a big part of live guitar playing. The guitar always wants to break into feedback when turned up loud, but it can be controlled, to great effect. I think you would really love to hear (and see) Pink Floyd's preformance of their song Sorrow from the live Pulse show. David Gilmour has a very powerful guitar part in the intro. You can hear the guitar breaking into feedback, going from the low E note that he plays, to a much higher note that David does not play, but is controlling. Sorry if this explanation doesn't make too much sense. But Sorrow from Pulse is fire!

[@michelbonne4148]

Bonjour de France Verdy, si je peux vous adresser une suggestion, la version MSG 1973 est encore plus cool et voir également Dazed and Confused du même concert.

[@muffelbuffel7836]

Beautiful groove in the song, a classic. Of course, everyone understands what it's about (all adults). Like most pop, rock. blues songs are about: sex and love in all its forms. "A-way, way down inside I'm gonna give ya my love I'm gonna give ya every inch of my love I'm gonna give ya my love" Well, that's how it is when it heats up.😛

[@muffelbuffel7836]

Go ahead, life doesn't get any more fun than you make it out to be. Enjoy and have fun. No shame. A general comment about sex, since that's what the song is about.

[@innocentbystander1853]

Please do a first time listening reaction to Pearl Jam - “Ten” (1991) album. If you do this album (and I hope you do) be sure to let the last track “Release” play all the way through. There is a bit of a hidden track after the song. I am very much enjoying your reactions to discovering new music and have subscribed to your channel!

[@markhill9275]

Ahhhh Rachael, you have indeed become Alice, fallen totally down the rabbit hole! When they were completely on, the greatest live band ever.

Reactors often have to modify videos to keep YT from blocking them. Some videos of LZ's performances at Madison Square Garden in '73 have been completely taken down by Warner Media. It's frustrating for reactors to put in so much time but can't post their reactions because the video they use ends up getting blocked by KZbin, so many just modify the video from the start to avoid getting into a hassle with KZbin trying to prove they're not making any money off the video.
