"Repulsive" "Offensive" "Lewd" "Satanic", Etc...that was all the parents when Zepplin released this one--They even boycotted thier concerts --"They're corrupting our children with this sinful garbage, Blah, blah, blah". They couldn't stop it, though--the Zepplin was in full flight, kicking off the new sound known as "Arena Rock"

[@tektoniks_architects]

I've been lucky to be listening to LZ for more than 50 years now....its a great joy to see someone *get it* from day 1. The live concerts are on an entirely other level....someday once you make it thru the albums, the live shows are a must research. TY for the great reactions.

Well, there seems to be certain theme running through the comments here. Gentlemen of a certain age, who have been listening to Zeppelin for half a century, and who are absolutely delighted to find a young woman listening to them for the first time and being blown away. Verdy, give Free a listen to. You'll love them

[@rodneyhearne3405]

Verdy, you are quickly becoming my most favorite reactor on YT. I was a sophomore in High School when this album debuted, and I have enjoyed this music for a lifetime. The whole reason I watch reactors to music is to see the spark of enjoyment that I remember when I first heard this music. Your honest reaction is so satisfying and pure joy to behold. You really have a connection to this music, and I am happy to see young people of your generation appreciate what we now refer to as "Classic Rock". For me and a large number of people it is the soundtrack of our lives. Thank you, keep rocking and uncovering these gems.

I find it amusing when the young people are exposed to stereo. Today's youth get most of their music in digital version through inadequate single speakers. They are missing so much when they listen to classics. Even todays ear pods cannot equal a great 70's era home stereo with great speakers. At least many are exploring the greats.

[@paulobrien9572]

Very nice reaction Verdy. When you listen and learn from Led Zeppelin you're getting master class notes from 4 individuals who were each the best at their chosen instruments. Together they formed the most complete and brilliant band of all time

[@LonesomeTwin]

There are very few Zeppelin 'tribute' groups. This isn't due to a lack of love. It's because they were all such virtuosi that they're almost impossible to copy. Almost a pity really, because nothing beats live, even a copy.

Finally, a true reaction channel. It's refreshing to see someone reacting to MUSIC. I've been getting tired of reactors trying to break down and analyze lyrics and interpret what the song is about, while ignoring what's going on, musically. I've been a hard-core led zep fan for 50 years and i still don't know half of what RP is talking about. But it doesn't matter because the music is what's important.

[@chebrneck]

That wacky noise in the middle of Whole Lotta Love is Jimmy Page playing a device called the Theremin. Used alot in science fiction movies. The "old door" sound is pick scratching with echo. Gotta love that subtle "wah" on the solo. Every song on that album is a classic. Jimmy was a true artist on the guitar.

[@iansharp7422]

The genius of Jimmy Page in the studio.........

[@nodaysback1]

agree with everything you described. They also used a reel to reel and spun it back and forth by hand in that middle section with the Theremin. The original Star Trek song featured the theremin playing the main melody part.

[@JoeWilger]

On a 1969 live performance of Dazed and Confused Jimmy replicated the studio version sounds by drawing a violin bow against his electric guitar strings.

[@screamindeacon]

@@iansharp7422 I think that is what made LZ unique. Page (and JPJ) had a lot of session experience, and Page had a vision. So when the band formed, Page took on the producer role from the outset.

[@iansharp7422]

@@screamindeacon no doubt. The more I listen to Led Zeppelin the more I notice JPJ's contribution. Can see why he is still in high demand as an arranger and producer and his career after LZ was much more varied than Page's. Page couldn't find the right combination to form a new band after The Firm and seemed satisfied in working on the LZ legacy. Have to admit that I was shocked when Jones wasn't invited to be part of the Page and Plant disc and tour but they seemed happy enough together after the London concert later. Plant's post LZ career worked out nicely as well but it was obvious he was going tin a different direction to the other two.

[@arkadybron1994]

Stereo was still fairly new going into the 70's and so bands like Zepplin were using it for effect at almost every opportunity. Something that has been sadly largely lost over the years.

[@lesterross1]

I remember my dad bringing home our first stereo around 63, 64. It came with a stereo experience album which I still have. It featured many left to right examples, helicopter sounds etc. We also got Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall, Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass and a few others. The Belafonte album is still one of my all time favorites though I quickly gravitated to Rock and Roll.

[@frankmarsh1159]

We had one of those console stereos that was like a big piece of furniture. It didn't have a headphone jack so I would sit down on the floor in front of the speakers and listen to the guitar zoom between them. I was eleven years old. It was my first real rock album and of course my parents hated it.

At first, I would listen to the music from outside his bedroom door (because I was not allowed inside his room, especially when his friends were there), but when he noticed me that not only was standing there, but I was really enjoying what he was playing! He later let me in the room, warning me to not touch anything or say anything about what they were doing in the room. From that day on (1970), I was hooked!

"The Lemon Song" is actually a cover of a song by Chicago blues great Howlin' Wolf. "Killing Floor" is a 1964 song by American blues singer-songwriter and guitarist Howlin' Wolf. Called "one of the defining classics of Chicago electric blues" "Killing Floor" became a blues standard with recordings by various artists. It has been acknowledged by the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame, which noted its popularity among rock as well as blues musicians. English rock group Led Zeppelin adapted the song for their "The Lemon Song", for which Howlin' Wolf is named as a co-author.

[@ramblerdave1339]

The Lemon part comes from Robert Johnson's " Travelling Riverside Blues" (1937), "You're Gonna Miss Me" part, was ( I think) from Muddy Waters. A lot of Howlin Wolf's songs were written by session Bass player, and Chess Records producer, Willie Dixon.

And who doesn't love JPJ's BASS LINE?! Then the hyper lead guitar by Page. How have our ears withstood this onslaught for all these years?! A band that was NOT AFRAID OF BASS PASSAGES. Love it!!!

The first album was such a revelation that we couldn't wait for more. The day it arrived and we saw it in the rack is a day fifty three years later I haven't forgot. With all that anticipation, the album did not disappoint and I wore it out as I did all their albums. That album to this day is on my album shelf. What great time to grow up.

"Whole Lotta Love" was the first LZ song I remember hearing on the radio WABX Detroit (I was 9) but I didn't get this album for another few years. I have been a Ledhead since then. It looks like I will be following your reactions for a while. Great job.

WIOT Toledo Ohio. With my older sister. Something they called FM on the car radio. Great days..

Me Too, but I was 18, freshly sprung from Cooley High. Didn't have FM in my car until Spring, 1970. That's when life started!

Damn, I forgot how good Side 1 was. Can't wait to see you react to the first two songs of Side 2 in particular. Love your analysis, keep up the good work. One side note, when I hear the bass and keyboards, I think what an unsung hero and secret weapon John Paul Jones is. Never gets as much credit as the other 3, but so instrumental to the greatness of the final product.

On another thought, Rachael you are so young, you obviously adore experiencing all that life has to offer. PLEASE PLEASE, stay away from drugs, cigarettes, you are such a wonderful young woman, your enthusiasm, your sheer joy lights up your face. Dont deprive the world including those of us here of enjoying your infectious smile. You are still so impressionable, I just felt compelled to say this, don't mean to offend. Stay just as you are!

Love seeing another Led Zeppelin reaction. I hope you take us on the whole chronological journey.

Bonjour Verdy, je viens de découvrir ton canal … très belle réussite! Ces classiques de Led Zeppelin… 1 et 2 seront toujours mes préférés et ce depuis leurs débuts en 1969, J’avais 12 ans! Quelle époque c’était de découvrir ces nouveautés à chaque semaine… la plus belle époque Rock !! (De Montréal)

[@keymack2477]

Great side of music and a wonderful job with the reaction by you as well! Thank you for your album side reactions, Verdy, I am really enjoying them! Merci!!!

They called this album "The Brown Bomber" because it was brown-ish in color and it's sales rate and longevity were unbelievably strong.

This music was very much aimed at young people drawn to the drug culture, but the great thing here is that it stands eternal as works of art still moving the souls of a new generation of more clear eyed senior citizens!!😃

I'm getting so much joy and goosebumps just watching her react to these Metal Masterpieces! I remember the day I brought this album home and listened to it in '69...I was in my last year of jr. high getting ready to start high school, and having already heard Zeppelin's first album, this one just blew me away!🎵🎶☺👍

This album made me like music itself and recognize the raw savage power of rock and roll.

The creaking sound in the first song is Jimmy slowly drawing his pick up the length of the string.
