EPIC!| FIRST TIME HEARING Led Zeppelin - You Shook Me REACTION

[@donnaholland1625]

John Paul Jones on the keyboard. He is so underrated. JPJ can play ANYTHING.

[@se7inhand]

And he's a great arranger.

[@BenWillyums]

It took page and plant about 59 people to replace him when they toured without him in the 90s

[@Doc552]

JPJ is a genius on base , keyboard and sound! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🎉

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes a multiinstrumentalist...pure genius

[@juliemanarin4127]

​@@se7inhandyes people often forget that

[@barbarasimmons5777]

Can you believe that Robert was only 20 years old when they did that? Have been listening to these guys for 40 years. So, so good!!!

[@billyrampersad1750]

Plant and Bonzo were 20 years old and Pagey and Jonesy were 24 years old when they did this in 1968 ...

Not the first one that people normally suggest, but one of Zeppelin’s greatest tracks!!!… and one of the sickest guitar solos ever recorded!

[@dianedavies8291]

Yes, it’s definitely in my top 3 LZ songs.

[@davidmhewett44]

Fool in the rain has to be close to the top. It never got the respect it deserved.

[@larryc3860]

any early LZ, with a heavy Blues flavor, was and is my fav..........

[@BenWillyums]

If you listen closely the solo seamlessly changes from an organ solo to a harmonica solo to a guitar solo

[@garyarnett1220]

Only heard Zeppelin and Purple pull that off so seamlessly.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yep

[@shaneluttrell532]

Good call, I never really noticed that.

[@sha1om]

@@garyarnett1220 Loggins & Messina did that on "Pathway to Glory", except that they went from oboe to harmonica to violin to guitar so smoothly that you can't even tell where it switched. I had to listen a few times to find the junctions.

[@kevinsacks3185]

Originally written by blues legend Willie Dixon, the song was also covered by The Jeff Beck Group, with Rod Stewart on vocals. Definitely worth a listen.

[@winstonsyme5899]

I posted this above, but John Paul Jones played organ on Becks version.

[@garylewis2618]

By far the better version and recorded 6 months before this

[@JuniorFarquar]

Uh, they butchered it.

[@ClearlyBlissful]

It was Muddy Waters who originally performed it.

[@joescott8877]

Apparently Jeff Beck literally wept tears of anger/envy when Jimmy Page played him Zeppelin's version.

[@richarddefortuna2252]

That is absolutely NOT Robert Plant on the keyboard. That is none other than Zeppelin's secret weapon: John Paul Jones.

[@vicprovost2561]

He should know that by now, after No Quarter how do you not know he is on the keys?

[@RiverRat904]

One of if not the most underrated musicians ever in my opinion. JPJ is a beast and a legend. ALWAYS on time.

[@marklerner8963]

It is Plant on the harmonica though.

[@dougieyou]

And Kid's that's why they are the greatest rock bend EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@courtneywallace871]

This whole album might be the greatest debut album for any band ever. If I’m correct, Plant was only 19 when this was recorded.

[@eye5856]

20

[@ptournas]

Good guess anyway, he celebrated his twentieth birthday about two weeks before they started recording!

[@ladyjane8855]

They were all so young. Explains why many of their songs were so sexual 😂

[@jeromesimon4926]

What! Y’all didn’t know Zeppelin was just as much a rock blues band as much as a hard rock band! Come on guys!!!

[@ronreynolds1610]

....and how dare they do some acoustic sounds too !!!...LOL ... they do it all very well IMO ...

[@timchromecast]

Wasn't hardrock a bit bluesy in the beginning? It just got a bad name due to hairmetal in the 80s 😂 Once the big record execs smell money, music genres get ridiculized for the masses... from rock to new wave, and electronic to hiphop and latin. These execs never fail to ruin a genre with their greedyness 😢

[@iKvetch558]

One of their greatest songs...definitely shows how bluesy Led Zep could be...and Plant's voice! Holy crap, can that boy SANG!😁

[@TahoeNevada]

John Paul Jones on keys and bass. Robert Plant on vocals and blues harp (harmonica) John Bonham drums/ percussion Jimmy Page on guitar and producer

[@myownchannel247]

The Rain Song is another one of those songs that is a must for any Led Zeppelin fan ☔️

[@bobguitarlearner8007]

I prefer the acoustic version

[@unclebob6794]

I must say I prefer the Plant/Page version but I love this song no matter which version I hear.

[@MsZepfreak]

Led Zeppelin were the perfect storm. Each member exceptional in their art. Best band in the history of blues/rock. ❤

[@stormy8207]

Yes. Robert Plant has an extraordinary voice. No doubt about that. And he is my favourite too. It was a band of high quality performers. JPJ's arrangements were genius.

[@juliemanarin4127]

YesJPJ is often overlooked!

[@redpine8665]

Hard to believe you haven’t reacted to ‘In My Time of Dying’ by LZ from their Physical Graffiti album. It’s a 1920’s gospel/blues song that the band does in their heavy blues style. Bonham’s drums are some of his heaviest with band. If you do check it out let it play ALL the way to the end and you’ll hear a funny surprise ending of what occurred in the actual studio recording of this song. 😉

They said one of the reasons they KNEW they really had something fantastic as a band was in their first rehearsal is when they Plant first sang note for note with Page's guitar

[@davidpetrich7277]

Well it is the rainy season here in the Pacific Northwest and it always makes me want to hear "The Rain Song". Led Zeppelin wrote because George Harrison said their problem was they didn't do any ballads.

Absolutely!

I remember John Paul Jones saying something along the lines that you know you’re in a good group when you can slow jam together.

[@johnwilkinsoniv1746]

It's a great song. Mostly I hear it as the lead in to Dazed and Confused, which takes things up a notch. Always great to see you both! I can remember when you had 10K subscribers, really nice to see your channel grow so well! Cheers! JW

Jay & Amber, you'd love Robert Cray's “Right Next Door (Because Of Me)"!!! An outstanding singer/guitarist up there with BB King and SRV!! Y’all loved his “Smoking Gun”!!! He did an album, ‘Showdown’, with Blues greats Albert Collins and Johnny Copeland!!

I saw him live at the Pocono Blues Festival many, many years ago, when it was at Big Boulder. Fantastic!

Any time you hear them Keyboards 🎹 in a ZEPPELIN Tune, it's always Legendary Bassist John Paul Jones! And when you hear vocals, and Guitar going Back, & Fourth like this, it's referred to as,Call, & Response! 🎶 LED ZEPPELIN may not have invented it . But they Perfected it!

They went deep into the black churches down here in Georgia for that one but on the other hand its great baby makin music as well! Zepplin has always been my favorite band & GO DAWGS - WOOF✌💖☮

[@bigdave1302]

You seem to forget that Zeppelin wasn't Page and Plant, there were two other just as important members. John Paul Jones, bass and keyboards, writer, and arranger. John Bonham, perhaps the greatest rock drummer of all-time.

Yes absolutely right!

[@marklerner8963]

They are such good musicians, so in sync with each other, that they can be looose....and have fun with it. No sweat!

[@WTCWorldview]

This made me so happy. Can I give 10 thumbs up? I've been wanting you to react to this song for awhile. I'm sure I have suggested it at least once or twice. What I have always loved about this song is the instrumentals. John Paul Jones on organ, followed by Plant on harmonica, and then Jimmy page on guitar back to back to back. Throw in Plant's vocal gymnastics, Bonham's steady drums, and that cool echo effect that gives a haunting feel to the song and you just can't help but love every second of it. A fun song you haven't tried from them yet is Custard Pie. Jimmy has some cool guitar effects and Plant tears it up on harmonica.

[@diannegooding8733]

JPJ was the unassuming, multi talented quiet, guy who watched over the three incredible performers and musicians (including Plant’s voice) allowing them to display their talents until they needed to come back to earth! JPJ was the glue that held Led Zeppelin together as well as being massively underrated for his own Brilliance and versatility!

[@markboon341]

The segue from harmonica to Page's guitar is sublime

[@sicotshit7068]

These guys love the blues, & they do the blues to perfection, but then they do everything so great.

[@targetshootr]

There's a video from some years ago of Robert Plant in a music store where he's noodling an acoustic and chatting with someone when he casually says "I was in a band called Led Zeppelin" as if the guy had no idea who he was. Cracks me up.

That reverberated A note at the end of the call and response might be the most powerful note ever recorded. This song really shows the talents of Led Zeppelin. JPJ's organ solo, Robert's harmonica solo and Jimmy's guitar solo should be taught in music classes until the end of time. Great reaction!!!!

[@MikeB-in1nd]

Wow it’s been over 50 years since I last heard this song

[@barbarjinx3802]

The forgotten man of rock n roll and the secret killer ingredient to Zeppelin is JPJ. One of the best bass players and funky keyboardists.

[@sumonjamal1653]

If there were any additional instruments like keyboards, organ, mandolin, or bass... it was John Paul Jones... He was multi-talented weapon in Led Zeppelin. He was a highly schooled musician and was already an established composer/ arranger in the 60's before he joined Zeppelin... The band's studio engineers said that John Bonham & John Paul Jones were the best rhythm section they had recorded... Led Zeppelin's bass and drums were usually done in 1 or 2 takes (which is unreal even today).
