THE VOCALS!! First Time Hearing Led Zeppelin - 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'

[@kurtsaxton823]

I really like the way that you feel the same way I did when I first started listening to Zeppelin back in the early seventies. You have so much further to go they change on every album, and they never do a live version exactly the same a lot of improvisation. Love your reactions brother.

[@jaycorby]

This was done in 1968 by guys who were just 20 years old! I turned 23 that same year, and will be 79 this coming September. Enjoy every second of your youth - it passes quickly.

[@fredtello]

don't understand why that's such a big deal why would they be better musicians if they were like

[@CliveAdlam-yn8uz]

I'm in my 70's , first heard Zep.in 68.Happy birthday in September.Respect.

[@stuartsiglain3972]

It was Page playing both of the guitars. This to me was one of their best songs.

[@Retroearthling]

50 freaking years ago!!! it's amazing

[@jenniferjohnson319]

I always like the recorded version better. Great song!!!

[@Scoobydcs]

the singer and drummer were 20 years old when they did this album, let that sink in

[@fredtello]

I don't understand why that's such a big deal why would they be better musicians if they were like

[@Scoobydcs]

@@fredtello because 20 years are never peak. They're not mature. You don't understand why being a master at something by the age of 20 is a big deal?? How old are you?

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Part of what Jimmy Page envisaged for Led Zeppelin, when he put the band together, was to go far beyond the usual rock songs and groups. One of the key elements Jimmy brought to Zeppelin was the concept of “light and shade”, “the whisper and then the thunder”. In other words, dramatically playing around with dynamics. Robert Plant’s voice was a perfect t fit for this because, as you said, he could go from a beautiful, tender feel, to immense power in a split second.

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

Hi & Thank YOU so very much for THIS!!! YAY Jimmy Page is my Everything heh

[@tanyaweathersby9393]

❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤

[@lauraulnye6857]

It's best to hear zeppelin studio versions first. The sound is so clear and mesmerizing. Check out studio versions of No Quarter ❤ Battle of Evermore ❤ In the light❤ They take you on a mystical journey that you don't want to pause because it will take you out of the trip.

[@timmurphy479]

This was when talent was foremost. Too bad it doesn't happen today. Great reaction, bro. Rock on!

[@mattgb23]

Yes Page played both acoustic and electric on Babe IGLY. Mixed in the studio. JP is a genius and master at creating sonic soundscapes with multi layering. I admire and respect you young brother for waiting to the end of the song to share your impressions. Long live the music of the Mighty Zep

[@danielmalo173]

Today at 70, let talk about my first listening of their first album (Babe I gonna leave you now, is may be not on their first album, but the story is real). I was at my 16 on the LSD 25. In the middle of the afternoon, I reach my friends at the house of the parents of one friend’s and then, there, I listening this I even if I don’t know the name of this band, Led Zeppelin, ok. But WOW… so stone like that, and very high, I Holding the pochette in my hands, listening this rock music who mesmerized me. In my state, I will holding this pochette more than 2 hours, walking in this house with the music exploding my ears. I have still with the same impression and opinions of those musicians, fantastic and unique in their genre. Merci sorry for my English, Daniel Québec AND PLEASE: continue yours reaction, you are very good. 👍 au revoir ✌️

[@alldayadventures5418]

I remember every time Zep, Floyd or Sabbath, or whoever came out with a new album, we would skip school to buy the first ones, go home to the psychedelic dungeons with strobe lights, black light posters and all... Heat up the Hookah. When the Wall came out in 78, there were 10 of us and 1oz smoke and loved the album.

[@kirstenstewart5758]

Such a powerful song, Zeppelin takes you on a journey and weaves a story not just with lyrics and Robert’s incredible vocals, but with their instrumentation as well. Glad you’re enjoying your LZ journey, looking forward to it continuing

[@Upe-f9c]

I think I´ve listened to this song a thousand times. Think that says it all.

[@paulacook9450]

The one live performance you can't miss is Since I've Been Living You, live from MSG. It's amazing! 😊

[@susan67868]

Aw, that was so sweet listening with you. 70 year hippy still smokin' a doob and groovein' to these tunes at times. Got to see them three times back then. Love. Flower Power. Peace.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

You’re trying to remember “Going to. California”…part of the acoustic set they did….usually three songs where JPJ, Robert and Jimmy are sitting….

[@sherryjoiner396]

Great reaction! He's not leaving her because he doesn't love her, he's going on tour. My take anyway. ❤

[@lindasalaki9404]

Fantastic reaction MD, so glad you dig what we listened to in the 70s 😅

[@MDreeezy]

Classic!!

[@joannparker1977]

It looks like you really like them. They’re pretty good. Led Zeppelin has always been at the top of my list. For forever.

[@yozaseig3870]

Plants delivery is so emotional and connects instantly to your feelings along with the way the rest of the guys play. They mess with your emotions.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

I Ain't Joking Woman!

[@sumitamishra5160]

❤ the rawness of LZ 1 is so captivating to this day ..

[@susiedawson3349]

Next live reaction is Led Zeppelin's Since I've been Loving You played at MSG. Mind blowing!!

[@sicotshit7068]

It’s up to you studios or lives, I think personally the lives are better, I think lives are how they really wanted the songs done. With the studio versions, there’s limited space to fill, so they can’t add what they do in lives. Maybe because I’ve heard the studio versions for decades, that’s why I enjoy the lives more now. Thanks again for your reaction.

[@RockinMamaT]

You shook me an amazing blues piece❤

[@Linda-y9h]

Just like any romance that comes to an end, these are all things we dwell on before we make that final decision, to stay or leave. Robert can tell a story like few others can. ❤😊

[@howardbrown911]

Dude, you are so good at analysis of the music and lyrics. Again, you have done a masterful job. You probably have done so well inEnglish classes in school. You have a great way to gain insight into these musical works. I congratulate and envy your abilities. Keep it up man, you are amazing!

[@MDreeezy]

Wow, thank you! Thank honestly means alot🙏🏽

[@markb3186]

LOVED THIS WHOLE ALBUM SINCE IT CAME OUT ALL ALL OF IT ESPECIALLY HOW MANY MORE TIMES /YOU SHOOK ME/DAZED AND CONFUSED

[@donaldallen4285]

I highly recommend you start from their first album and listen to their albums from beginning to end and all their do their albums in the order they came out. They are truly the best band to ever come out and ever will be. I would give anything to be back in the 70’s again.

[@maryrobbins4087]

"We got a lot to talk about "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@williamcabell142]

Simp the GOATS! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamestickle3070]

In my head I hear this studio version

[@HollisDuty60]

Yay Led Zeppelin 🔥🔥. This is an amazing song. Great Reaction. This is a cover of a Joan Baez folk song. She was big in the 1960’s. They took it and rocked it. Jimmy Page asked Robert Plant to come to his home for a kind of interview to be the lead singer in LZ. Jimmy played him the Joan Baez version, then played on his guitar what he was thinking of doing. Robert picked it up right away and the rest is Rock History. Robert Plant has an otherworldly vocal range. This song shows how easily he can go from soft and tender to angst and hard. Yes, Jimmy plays the acoustic guitar and fused the electric guitar in an overdub. They recorded this on September 27, and October3, 1968 just 3 weeks after forming the band. Plant, and Bonham are 20. JPJ 22, Page 24. Can you imagine being so freaking good that this song is produced within weeks after meeting each other for the first time. This is the second song on their first album. Just beautiful. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chassetterfield9559]

It is indeed a Joan Baez cover. But, I seem to remember even her version was a cover of the original. From my reference library, it was written by Anne Bredon in the late 50s.

[@HollisDuty60]

@@chassetterfield9559 yes, you are correct. Jimmy played the Joan Baez version so that is what I mentioned 😊

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Loved what you said, but Robert and Jimmy got together at the end of July of that year…..JPJ was already onboard. Robert, Jimmy and Peter Grant had a Devil of a time convincing Bonham to leave his gig at the time, which was finally bringing in decent money for his family, to take a chance on a new band. They finally all played together in mid to late August I believe. It’s STILL incredible that they meshed so immediately and did a record within a couple of months, after having already done a few live gigs in Denmark to fulfill contract obligations Jimmy had left over from The Yardbirds. Just a remarkable story.

[@HollisDuty60]

It was 3 weeks from first rehearsal (August 19, 1968) to when they played Babe I’m Gonna Leave You in Denmark (September 7). I’ve corrected it. John Paul Jones was the last member to join the band because Chris Dreja, Yardbirds bass player, was still in the mix. Thanks for bringing my error to my attention. 😊

[@sicotshit7068]

In studio Page often would play several different guitars. I’ve heard this song is about a man leaving for the service or war. I think it suits the band leaving their families to go on tour, they loved performing live, but they hated leaving their wives & kids for so long.

[@cityhonors1]

🤗 Still can't believe these dudes were 20 when they did this. Like Rush, Who, Doors, PF.... 🤯 Just some some 20yr old friends being ☺️ absolutely brilliant! 😁🥰🐰

[@fredtello]

don't understand why that's such a big deal why would they be better musicians if they were like

[@cityhonors1]

@@fredtello 🤭 Think of 20 yrs old today who can't tie a shoe without a phone in their hands. I retired from CUNY/SUNY and was exposed for decades to (imo) extremely unimpressive youth with not much going on, that doesn't involve having a screen in front of them. 🤗 Then I think of all the folks I did homework to while their Albums played. 🤯 Stunning that they could have been my students as well. Except I wouldn't look at any member of the Doors, PF, Rush or Genesis and think "unimpressive". Mostly I looked at my Students and thought "attention Span of a gnat but 🙄 you're Pre-Med... Okaaaaaay". Wasn't my job to pick students, just process them thru. However grades that were Honors Grades when I was in College are now half that to qualify since they "dumbed down" all the SAT & ACT scores. 😒 I pray everyday I don't recognize 1 of my old students when I go in for my annual checkups. 🫣 Not even joking..... 🐰

OMG!!! YAY!!! **Luvit** Mmmm & BAM!!! ahahaha **Best**

[@Scoobydcs]

best live version is denmark radio 69

[@DTH3000]

You have a certain amount of tracks to work with in the studio. Back in the late 60s the best studios had 16 tracks(it was evolving quickly). Page was a master at producing songs. The art was all about your ability to get your sound on tape by overdubs, mixing and mastering.

[@fredtello]

Led Zeppelin didn't have a producer Man Jimmy Page produced all their songs he is a wizard as a producer

[@sally2shoes]

😃 Happy to see you got some new headphones! 🎧 Sometimes I’ll catch nuances and background sounds I didn’t hear before on my car speakers when I wear my over the ear headphones. 🤓🤘🏻🔥

[@MDreeezy]

Most definitely!

[@terridostal1348]

OMG I just had a flashback to the wild 70's. Not that I would of smoked anything else than a cigarette

[@nicolediamond93]

Love your channel - so real :)

[@MDreeezy]

Thanks so much!!

[@djfrank68]

Jimmy Page overdubbed many different guitar parts in the studio. That's one reason why their live arrangements rarely sound like the studio versions.

[@marybethdecesare5491]

Keep on!!! Insightful and fun

[@enderwiggin5572]

Music you should check out: Al Green Marvin Gaye Sam Cooke Otis Redding Smokey Robinson The Four Tops The Temptations Hank Williams Sr. The Beatles Tom Petty BB King Stevie Ray Vaughan

[@jerryb9207]

I've been enjoying watching your reaction videos. Led Zeppelin is the best band ever. Always I like to kid that I lost my virginity with led Zeppelin playing in the background lol. My favorite song by them is kashmer. Anyways, I'll keep watching. Good luck with your channel!

[@diverdown631]

Try Achilles last stand studio version,and live @Knebworth 1979

[@andymccracken4046]

The studio tracks are best because they put effort into making them interesting, and they are all good, and there is a lot of variety too.

[@paulwest1206]

Great job, never considered the changes throughout the song as capturing the guy's torn feelings. Also, Jimmy Page might have been playing a 12-String acoustic guitar on this one.

[@Pton_reaction_addict]

Check out You Shook Me. It is a great blues piece Zeppelin. Not written by Zeppelin but the version is fantastic.

[@joshuamatkin8306]

This song is about leaving to go on tour, and it was meant for his wife. Robert Plant had just gotten married

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Please react to studio versions first, very few live versions, had the technology, to deliver the full power of Zepplin. So go original, then Live...❤😂✌️...you are doing great on your reactions!

[@heliotropezzz333]

Sounds like the last one you were talking about was 'Going to California'.

[@MDreeezy]

Yup thats exactly it!

[@BlowinFree]

Trampled underfoot by led zep next please my friend 💕you will love it

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

IMHO, Led Zeppelin's best live performance is the one they did in 1969 of "How Many More Times" (Danmarks radio.) Clearly superior to the studio version (and I don't usually have that opinion.)

[@starfire6122]

Studio version first so you hear how it was originally made then live cause live changes up alot. Unless youre doing Stevie Ray Vaughan then its always live lol...js💞✌️

[@Shango]

This was a cover song that was originally performed by Joan Baez. Although Led Zeppelin really did change the song a lot from the original.

[@therealimnotjiminy]

They're both covers. This is not a Joan Baez song. And her's was not the "original".

[@VernonOdom-jw4ko]

Both guitars: acoustic & electric

[@DanalynTuthill-yl4hd]

The song you're thinking of is "Going to California".

[@michaellamb9596]

Imagine four 20 year olds doing this today

[@markb3186]

CORRECT =STUDIO FIRST ALWAYS WITH LED Z no one heard live until 6th album -by the way this has been remastered and changed a little by someone -always go with the original album NOT REMASTERED BY ANYONE FOR THE AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE MILLIONS HAD ==good advice

[@elainec1188]

Not remastered by just anyone but by Jimmy Page himself. So just as good. Depends what you prefer I guess.

[@jamesmcclain5005]

Zeppelin is a great studio group, and they are so so in their live performances. Mainly because Robert Plant over dramatizes the performances.

[@Arturo.H.M]

Te lo advierto, como continues escuchando música de los '60 y '70, lo de después de los '90 te parecerá pura basura. Te lo he advertido, tú ya haces lo que quieras 🙂. Un saludo desde España.

[@hopeklemann1]

this is just me personally but I think led Zeppelin should always always be reacted to with the live version because it's so much more powerful....

Hey MWheezy don't call me babe if you don't love me! Leave it up to y'all!
