Reacting to Led Zeppelin - Going To California (Live at Earls Court 1975) | REACTION

Best band to ever walk the earth

[@Fritzw75]

No doubt. I saw them in 77 in Oakland outdoors, that was their last North American Concert sadly. They rocked the Bay Area that weekend. Wow.

[@Paul-tp9vf]

👍And it's not even close.

[@Joe-t4j4p]

This band 'greased the skids' for horny young teenagers.

[@tommyval4047]

It's not that I don't agree, it's just a hard statement to make. You can take other great bands and put them in groups of similar sound and argue whose better. Led Zep had a category of 1, all by themselves. So you might be right. No group did what they did better. With led zep 4 every song on it great

[@Paul-tp9vf]

@@tommyval4047 I think they are often considered the best band not because they produced the best music, though I do like it, but because they were the best ensemble of musicians, each pre-eminent in their discipline with the greatest understanding of each other's merits.

[@Searles007]

The "girl out there with love in her eyes and flower in her hair" refers to Joni Mitchell. 💚🤙🏼

[@jamesscura7122]

I was stunned to learn she didn't care for them. Side story: Jimmy and Robert had the chance to meet her, but were too shy. Jimmy said" She's a real artist. We're just rock and rollers !"

I've been listening to Led Rappel in since high school ( I'm 54). I was watching reactions and just realized that my 22yr old son looks EXACTLY like a young Robert Plant. Colin has short hair, but it's a crazy likeness!!! Love the story about your husband btw!

At their peak they sometimes played for over 4 hours and this song gave them a chance to sit down around half way through.

[@juliemanarin4127]

They usually played 3 in the acoustic set

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yeah they did an acoustic set from 1970 to 1977, except for the 1973 tour. I don't know why they dropped the acoustic set in '73.

[@BBaldwin]

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

There are a few bands I like and listen to more. But there is no way I can disagree with you because it's so true.

[@davidevans3175]

I'm just going to leave this comment once, Elie, your wife Carol is stunningly beautiful. Stunning. Congratulations my friend.

[@Hardball1Alpha]

Great post. I find it interesting that as they both experience the emotional variations that Zeppelin is famous for, his eyes are very hard to interpret. But her eyes give away the exact emotions she's feeling. Sort of a body-language of the eyes. Led Zeppelin RULES!!!

[@kelleewolfe2834]

I agree! She is beautiful!

Great reaction. It's fun to watch people's jaws drop when they start listening to Zeppelin songs I've been enjoying for decades. I think you'd really like No Quarter and Rain Song from live at MSG. Cheers!

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

A different side to Zep. The lady referred to in the song is Joni Mitchell who is a stand out singer songwriter. Check her out - she’s brilliant. She lived in Laurel Canyon in LA a place inhabited by all the musicians of the 70s. Led Zeppelin spent a lot of time in LA. Laurel Canyon are the hills mentioned. As lovers of good music I suggest you read up about Laurel Canyon. It was a fascinating place that defined the 70s music then and now. Love to you both.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Another lovely song from their acoustic set is That’s The Way. One of my favorites. casual fans of Zeppelin only think of Jimmy in relation to his great electric guitar playing, but he’s also a master of acoustic. Eventually, you should watch his and Robert”s performance of The Rain Song from their tour in the mid 90’s. It is absolutely exquisitely beautiful acoustic guitar playing from Jimmy.

[@Macdelaven]

I played this song everyday for a month before I moved to California in the early 80s. Great and honest reactions. It still puts me in a mellow mood.

Camping with my best friend and bandmate" Toad" ... two teenagers and listening to Going To California portable stereo ...

" I"m gonna move to California" .... at 19 years old that is exactly what I did and still here today... a bit older but still 19 at heart.

[@jmar7631]

One has to listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin's music to understand just how diverse they were. Great song. I always enjoy watching Page groove on an acoustic guitar. Not a lot of footage of that. ;)

[@jeremyedwards1093]

Thank you! This will be an after work listen!!! Yay!!!😀

[@jeremyedwards1093]

That was fun to have seen you guys reaction to THIS version. I’ve watched this many times. I have the DVD. My first viewing of this, I remember being amazed that John Paul Jones played mandolin. I guess I always thought Jimmy Page did on the original track. And just dubbed the part in. I was blown away!

[@shadowman4966]

While working at a Palm Springs Ca resort back in the 80s John Paul Jones started a conversation with me after introducing himself . We chatted a few minutes about family and such small talk. The question was asked if I has any kids. My answer of seven made him step back and then told me , people would say that I’m a ( horn dog ) cool moment. He wasn’t lying.

[@johnord684]

My bro was at this gig.He took me to see them 4 yeas later at Knebworth,their last gig.Oh and Robert had THE effect on the ladies back then, and still does at nearly at 80 years old,he's still a good looking guy as i say hi to him weekly living not to far away,and my misses bought him a pint in the local a few weeks ago.Life is cool in Worcestershire

[@bowtiefidenine]

Such a Beautiful song

[@toniyoung5131]

Joni Mitchell was the girl with love in her heart and flowers in her hair. Her music is something you need to react to. She has inspired so many artists over the years. I would recommend A Case of You, from her album Blue. Or pretty much any other song from that album

[@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles]

You guy's should watch and listen to the live version of the "Rain Song", a guitar, vocal, and composition masterpiece. Truly gifted musicians.

[@victorxyz]

Ahhhhh! I was at this concert! Nothing compares

[@robperry5293]

Great song, great reaction... I've seen Zeplin in concert and I have lived in California for over 60 years, The song really made me sad because we are going the way of Atlantis, so sad. We were the light on the hill.

[@bnd4ever48]

It's a lovely song indeed, always remember though that it's Jimmy's band, he produced every single album and writes almost %95 of the music and Robert does a wonderful job writing the lyrics and the beautiful singing, one of the best things Jimmy did was choosing Robert for the band because they and the entire band created magic as a group, if you get a chance listen to the Rain Song which to me personally is one of my favorite LZ songs and everything time I listen to it I get emotional at the music and lyrics and it's a very romantic ballad, also the studio version of Since I've Been Loving You always chokes me up, and I know you did a great reaction of the live version, you both do a lovely job on you LZ reactions🙏🏻❤️

I saw them in concert a couple years after this video was made - I think it was my favorite tune of the show. About the middle of the show they placed chairs in the front stage and just sat and played. Bonham had just finished his massive drop solo (Moby Dick) and left the stage as they the other three started playing.

Zepplin did concert tours in California two or three times a year. At first it was exciting but as they got older it felt like a lot of work away from home. They sing about that in Babe I'm Gonna Leave you.

[@animistchannel]

To hear more of this folk-music side of Zeppelin, try "Bron Y Aur Stomp" (from a style of traditional worker song), or "Gallows Pole" (a classic rebel-without-a-cause song), or "Friends" especially the live 1994 with symphony & african drum line. If you like that expanded symphony/traditional combo sound, check out the live "Kashmir" from that same "Unledded concert... it's a 12 minute wonder of exploring both the spiritual and musical tradition roots. Of course, there is also "Four Sticks" and "Battle of Evermore" that are super interesting not-standard-rock songs with folk/traditional overtones too.

[@Philby17]

Led Zep are known for their heavy rock element, but they had a lot of songs that were acoustic / folk. As Aerosmith's guitarist, Joe Perry said at Led Zep's rock 'n' roll hall of fame induction, they were not musical snobs - they played all forms, all genres, and did so to a high level.

[@BoothTheGrey]

This would be a good moment to start with Pearl Jam. A power rock band formed in 1990 - first put into the "grunge" scheme, but they are just pure rock n roll. They did sort of a cover of Going to California called "Given to fly". On of their many successful songs. Anyway - thanks a lot for your reaction and wish you all the best.
