First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven | Rere Reacts

As the years fly by, sometimes you don't realize just how old you've gotten. Then......someone says they've never heard Led Zeppelin and that's when reality sets in.

I agree with many, that this is the greatest rock n roll song ever. It’s interesting how when the song ended, you commented on how it made you feel, and think, rather than just the music… That’s what makes a great song.

Stairway To Heaven...I am soooo glad you did the original studio version. It is perfection and it became the #2 most requested song of all time for decades behind #1 Happy Birthday. .

[@kingstumble]

I knew Robert Plant pre Led Zep. We come from the same small town in the Black Country and he would often come down to our blues club. He was always willing get up onstage and jam with us. Off stage he is quietly spoken and quite shy. He still lives in the area, albeit a much larger place in the countryside!

[@sicotshit7068]

Can’t imagine him shy, but I’ve heard he’s so nice & down to earth, he has a great sense of humor too. My favorite singer, with his amazing range tone & textures, I know it doesn’t come as easily for him these days though. I’m glad he’s still doing what he loves, & he shared it with all of us, he made the best choice choosing his music.

[@JimAlberts-y5v]

That's so cool. I'm not of that generation, but in the late 80s i worked a restaurant and one of the guys i worked with also worked as a DJ in a local club in Seattle. When Robert Plant was in town, i think i was around 1988, he stopped at that club and volunteered to perform and jumped up on stage (this was after his concert at the local arena) and performed a couple of songs. Obviously everyone there loved it and the guy i worked with wouldn't wash his hand for a week (he shook robert's hand).

[@muratomar6502]

I envy you, you met one of the great musicians ever

[@kevincollins6769]

Hi great you are starting to listen to rock music as a young person. I,m 75 rears old and have gone through many eras of music. Have to say my generation was so privileged to been in that era from 1965 to 1980 ,greatest era ever. The innovation,explosion of many styles, genres in todays speak. Rock, Mowtown, Soul, Funk Soul, Northern soul, later blues, psychedelic rock,disco to name but a few. Led Zep greatest band ever, Stairway to Heaven released 08/11/1971 but so many other great rock bands. Humble Pie, Jimi Hendricks, Santana, Family, Chicago, Steely Dan. Altman Brothers, ELO, Joe Cocker, Manfred Manns Earth Band. Lynryd Skynyrd. THe Who, Rolling Stones. The list goes on. Hope you will look in to these bands. Great younger people are getting interested and will carry on the legacy of this great music.

[@jakeenan]

Great reaction. It did it's job. As most Zeppelin songs do. It stopped you in your tracks.....and you went straight to your emotions, of what you experienced. 👍

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

Okay I am not going to lie, when I saw this thumbnail on my feed I clicked on it for two reasons!! First is you are an amazingly beautiful young woman!! Gorgeous!! Secondly I love watching young people reacting to this music from the 70s or even earlier!! I completely understand your perspective on what you imagined rock music was before you actually started listening to it!! This song was from the early 1970s but I urge you to go back further and listen to some of the very early Rock from the late 50s and 60s!! What people of your generation don't realize until you really dive into it is that rock music began in the late 50s and it was something completely different than what our fathers and mothers listened to and what was popular previously from before World War II until probably right around 1955 which is when the first early rock and roll began to emerge!! And then you had the British invasion of the 1960s which brought in music that changed the very core of what music WAS and how it could be produced!! THIS song and THIS era of the 1970s is a culmination of that wave and music evolved into a very personal and mystic and soul reaching entity!! Continue on your journey you have earned a new subscriber!!❤❤

That is the greatest song ever ever written my lady. I was born in 1965. I remember it on the radio.

Love this song, and your comments were spot on. The message behind the beautiful music is deep. I feel that lack of enough money causes misery. Enough money allows you to be get by, be healthy and explore life. After having enough, more money does less and less. Too much money can truly screw up most people's lives.

So happy you listened to the studio version first! Too many reactors start with a live version first and that doesn't give them a true understanding of the context of the song.

In the age we are still in where the top songs are 3-4 maybe five minutes long, imagine the effect Zeppelin and Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon),commercial radio was in a turmoil. I remember. I agree with what you are saying.

[@thomashiggins9320]

Your entire demeanor changed when Plant's voice soared in after one of the most famous guitar bridges, ever. 😄 This is regarded by many as the greatest rock song of all time, and that's arguably true. However, the *band's* favorite is the song, "Kashmir," which is also my personal favorite rock song of all time. You should given that one a listen, as soon as you can. Go with the studio version first -- it has more magic than the live versions (which are great in their own way, but not the same). Money makes life easier, and buys *pleasures* , but our relationships with people we care about -- and who care about us -- really make us happy. In this song, the band contrasts a material existence ("The Lady who's sure...") with a more spiritual one ("The Lady... who shines white light and wants to show..."). Moreover, they say the way to cure the distractions and obsessions with money requires that we get back in touch with the natural world ("The Piper will lead us to reason..."). As an atheist, I don't really buy "spirituality" -- to me, it's all human psychology and mental well-being, and nothing supernatural -- but do agree that an obsession with material existence is shallow, ultimately pointless, and can motivate people to cause great harm to others. I do like how quickly you recognized the themes. All that said, this is a fine song and I never tire of hearing it. I also enjoy seeing people experience it for the first time. Try "Kashmir," though.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It's funny because I think I just watched your Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man reaction, and I made the comment in there that indeed it was a band and it's actually one of the most iconic bands in rock music history. Well it's right there with Led Zep. Both of them are these towering giants, and they were both kind of ahead of their time, and they both influenced lots of music to come. Led Zeppelin exploded on the scene in the late sixties and who are huge through the 70s before John bonham, one of the greatest rock drummers ever, died tragically at an early age and that ended the band, kind of similar to the plane crash ending Lynyrd Skynyrd as we knew them. It's such a deep rabbit hole but they really had tons of hits, and then even things that weren't hits, we're just so good. They were so creative and so good at what they did and they were cutting edge at the time.
