I was 14. Bought the album at “Lorraine’s Records”. Went into our basement and sat around a record player (!) with 5-6 friends. Put the needle on the vinyl. Our lives changed. For real.

[@AdamJ11]

It is sometimes said … Led Zeppelin has arguably the best rock lead vocalist OF ALL TIME … Arguably the best rock guitar player OF ALL TIME … Arguably the best drummer ever PERIOD … and finally , arguably the best rock bassist, yes … OF ALL TIME

[@MrDeengels]

From the opening chords music was for every changed for the next 30 years!!

[@RiverRat904]

30 years? STILL!!!!

[@lnsmanning]

The bass line on this entire song is ridiculous.

[@bumperu]

Bonham's drumming is beastly on this. Wow!!!!

[@katehamilton7240]

It is why I listen to the opening bars on repeat. Bonzo was a genius.

[@billschafer9668]

I was 14 in 72 and heard Stairway to Heaven on the radio. That started me on my Zeppelin journey. Went out and bought the 4th album, loved it then bought the first three albums, all on 8 track within a few weeks. Fond memories.

[@davidnorman530]

I was in a diner near Syracuse University in 1969 when someone put Whole Lotta Love on the jukebox. The diner was never the same (me too). The next summer I saw them in Oakland, California. I was a lucky boy.

[@myfavoritedream2149]

I first heard this when I was 13. Wearing a Catholic school girl uniform, not joking. I was ripe. 😄 Last summer I met Robert Plant. An absolutely gorgeous man. He autographed my original album. I was cool. He was kind, but my inner 13 year old self was loosing her freaking mind. 😝 Zeppelin Forever.

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

Lucky you girl!! I was 13 too. ❤😊

[@katehamilton7240]

Bonzo's opening drumming on this makes my hair stand on end. I often just listen to this over & over. I was born in the UK in 1969 and I am EMBARRASSED to say I only heard this track for the first time a few years ago. And I LOVE all kinds of rock music.

[@26shedan]

I was 10 in 1969 (and in love with David Cassidy of the Partridge Family) but when I was 14 we moved to a new neighborhood and all the teenage guys were into Zeppelin. It was too heavy and aggressive for this teenage girl as I was listening to top 40. During this covid pandemic as I got into youtube (so much more time on my hands) I have come to love Led Zeppelin and fully appreciate their talent. Of course, I am a more "aggressive" person in my early 60's than I was as a teen. This old lady is wearing Zeppelin shirts around the house and playing their music and reading books about them. Wow-who knew? Between Zep and Queen I am a happy music listener.

[@tracycampbell3060]

I was 2

[@rollinlisa1]

We're the same age and it happened the same way to me. Too young for the "hard" rock when it came out but now love it.

[@williamcabell142]

Queen SUCKS...BUBBLE GUM!

[@oliverkalamata2753]

I love reading these sort of comments. 🥰

[@goobner420]

I was born 40 years later lol

[@sherilynkd]

Loved them from the beginning and finally saw them 5/30/77. I had great seats by Jimmy Page. I couldn’t stop watching him. He was fantastic.

[@joebarrera9741]

ANY LED ZEPPELIN IS AWESOME

[@danreed5171]

this was the 1st cut ever released by Zeppelin

[@robertlear2735]

I am not sure when I first heard Led Zeppelin but it must have been shortly after the album was released in Jan 1969. I was in college. Our band learned a lot of these songs. I was the lead singer of the band. I am 33 days older than Robert Plant. 🙂. Anyway I saw Led Zeppelin the first time in Nov 1969. This song was the first one of that performance. The song that was really electrifying in person was "Dazed and Confused"

[@Straydogger]

It WAS a single bass drum. Amazing drummer.

[@glennwalker5700]

I.was in a Datsun station wagon with a banana painted on the side, heading to Sabastion inlet, with 4 surfboards on the rack , and Led Zeppelin playing on the 8 track. I was 14.

[@mikejacobson14]

We can look back on all the brilliant songs of this band and say, "great song", but can you imagine hearing this for the first time, when there was nothing else like it? I was only 8 so what did I know, but my brother was 13 and a rebel. He must've freaked!

[@juliemanarin4127]

That fast bass drum was Bonham's FOOT!!!

[@johncollier9280]

I walked into a local record store 'n looked at the new releases displayed on the wall. Led Zeppelin captured my attention so I picked it up, looked at the front 'n back cover 'n made the wise decision to purchase it 'n take it on home.Same thing happened with the first James Gang album 'n the first Yes album. I love it when that happens!

[@davidreilly8888]

You guys are correct about the amazing innovation of the time. Also consider that Bonham and Plant were freaking 19!

[@chrisnadge7989]

One of my favorite starts to any rock song

[@gregpusczek4473]

outstanding - a Zeppelin classic

[@lucasnavajas4166]

Dazed and confused will blow your minds!!

[@williamweiss6128]

That's where we all learned that single bass drum technique. Bonham!!

[@EsqChrio]

Saw them the first time in 71. I was 9 at the time. My babysitter took me to the concert with her boyfriend. I didn't know what rock and roll was and had no idea who they were. I was listening to Bobby Sherman and The Captain and Tennille at the time. I think tickets were around $6.00 or $7.00. To say I was blown away is an understatement. Could not take my eyes of Page playing the guitar. His hands were like magic.

[@jonnno243]

1969 , age 18, and a gang of us were round Jim's house. He had just gone and bought Led Zeppelins first album, vinyl of course, and he put the record on the deck and started it spinning and lowered the stylus. Wow!! Good Times Bad Times came on, and we were all blown away. The rest is history.

[@jeffmay8139]

1st time I heard Led Zeppelin: 1972, my buddy's house on a small AM/FM, one little speaker radio. The song was "The Immigrant Song". I was hooked!

[@donnaabbato508]

Saw them in 1976 at MSG! Mind blowing concert!! You NEED to watch/play their LIVE songs from MSG!! You guys will be blown away!! Songs: Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta of Love!!! Please do it!!!!

[@lawrencesmith6536]

Here is the memory burned into my mind.....I was 17 yrs old with friends who were all music lovers. One friend calls me and says he just bought the new LZ album. He and I and 4 other friends went to his house. He had a great stereo system in his bedroom so we all sat around in his room and listened to it all the way through. We had all been Beatles fans, Kinks fans, Who fans, Tull fans; but THIS....THIS stunned us all. There had never been anything like it. The power of this band transcended everything that came before

[@charliebrown1414]

11 years old. Spring of 1969. Steve B brought in the Zeppelin album for 6th Grade Show and Tell. I clearly remember him playing Communication Breakdown. I don't remember him playing GTBT that day. However, I loved this tune immediately. Still do! First it's Bonham's triplets, then the bass break, then the clean break followed by incredible guitar. Will always love it.

[@williamcabell142]

Simply stated....the GOATS! All their music is classic! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@chris-bi1fn]

1st time hearing Zeppelin.... probably about 7th grade, a friend said he found an awesome song, but we had to :smoke" first. so we blazed up and went to another friends house and listen to whole lotta love. was hooked on them ever since....

[@Scoobydcs]

song 1 side 1 album 1, WELCOME TO LED ZEPPELIN!

[@imtallpaul]

I was jamming to the Monkees when my brother brought home Zeppelin. I still liked the Monkees because I could sing along, but when I wanted to be in a dark room with Black Light posters all around.. I turned to Zeppelin.

[@radar0412]

You should know that "Whole lotta Love" was the introduction song of Led Zeppelin for MOST of the Kids back in the day. Primarily because it was a crossover song. That is it crossovered from FM to the more popular AM Radio in the time period.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤

[@juliemanarin4127]

Greatest band in history!! This was the first song on their debut album...imagine that! I heard this in 1970 when I was 10...my babysitter had it! I was and am in Chicago...I have loved them ever since!!

[@lingolarker9318]

So you are…63??😄

[@extdiso]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. A Tale of Two Cities!

[@tobykelly4606]

I was still reeling from the death of Jimi Hendrix when I found Led Zeppelin on the new FM radio station in Santa Barbara, CA. back in 1969. What a cure for my Hendrix blues!

[@ericjorgensen3911]

In `69 was 17. My buddy had the 8 track. Listened 3-4 times and really loved GTBT. Went to Winterland in SF to watch them in concert. It was like each player were doing a solo, but they meshed together, so LOUD, yet so clear. Page notes passing right thru you, Jone`s bass pounding you, then Bonham`s drums... looked like a line- backer pounding away, finally the incredible vocals of Plant.... geeeeeez AWESOME. At 5$ for a ticket. Last time was `77 Day on the Green (Oakland Coliseum) The Winterland show was better, 2,500 max crowd, indoors. The usual ears ringing on the way home. Just so LOUD (as it should be) and CLEAR. At concerts Jimmy goes off as Bonham too! Yah, love these guys from the start. Song is 55 years old and STILL ROCKS!

[@douglaspensack3499]

LZ = kings of the switch up!

[@jeffdensley6055]

I was 17 years old when I went to my first concert which was Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge it was July of 1969.

[@williamcabell142]

The same old jam...ain’t that the truth! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@timwirasnik5878]

My brother brought this home and cranked it on his turntable before Mom & Pops got home! I was 4 maybe 5? and i ran into his room and exclaimed " What was That?" he smiled and said " A new band" so we both sat on his bed and listened to the whole Album! What a Great day! Time spent with my Older brother listening to the Greatest Rock n Roll band ever, it just don't get any better!

[@paulwebster3417]

ROCK N ROLL say no more! I was 3 and I remember it vividly.

[@827dusty]

Led Zeppelin's early music catalogue was their best in my opinion. It was raw and gritty, !969 to about 1972 was just pure gold. Most everything they did was very good, but I'm partial to that early Bluesy, Hard Rock in the early days when they were still in their early 20s. Thanks guys

[@andrewmorton9327]

YEs, albums 1 to 4 were definitely their best. They had some good stuff on later albums but the overall quality was quite patchy.

[@davebrown943]

Early 1969 in the Ville, I put down the Beatle's White Album and picked up Led Zeppelin I! I was Dazed and Confused, but quite Happy!

[@bowtiefidenine]

I was spending the weekend with my best friend and he was giving the Album for his birthday party. That’s the weekend I found my favorite band ❤ July 25th 1969

[@santizuleta6271]

9:43 that simultaneous headbang was satisfactory to see

[@jimr8907]

I had a freiend that was really into any guitar music and he knew when it was being released. We were about 14 or 15 and we all got together the day it was released. We walked a couple of miles to a store and bought the albumn. We went back to his house (possibly smoked something0 an went into hsi room, A bunch of us just laid all over the place and listened to the Ablumn...over and over. It become a ritual for Led Zepplin releases for a number of years. I lived in NYC and saw them ober and over. A first mezz row seat in 1971 cost $5.50 lol

[@danielreece3384]

It was about midnight in 1969, riding around my Iowa hometown with friends, listening to clear channel KAAY 1090 AM out of Little Rock Arkansas, the Clyde Clifford show, "Beaker Street." Whole lot of Love burst forth and music was never the same.

[@rodneyhearne3405]

I was 15 and a Sophomore in High School when this was released. There was so much incredible music on the scene but for me this was a real game changer. I was already hooked on the British bands that were playing blues/rock, but this was so much heavier than anything at the time. For me this will always be my favorite of the Led Zeppelin albums and every song on it is a banger. The raw genius of the personnel in this band was obvious from the beginning. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@POABilly]

I was 14 and passed a record store on the way home from school, as usual I called in and they were unpacking a delivery, the album art caught my eye as I was looking for a project for my art class, aha I thought what a great silk screen print it would make. I was however blown away from start to finish upon hearing the music. Thanks lads, I sold so many printed t-shirts I bought my first motorbike the following year.

[@kenassfktard7362]

Me too Rodney I was 15.

[@blackfender100]

I was a little Kid when this came out Having 3 older brothers I heard this very early in my Life Loved the Mighty Zep all my life .

[@stephenpalmer896]

I was visiting some friends in Merida Venezuela , 16 years old and they had just come back from the US and they brought this album back with them. The whole album blew my mind and it felt like a titanic shift in music had just happened and I was so right.

[@randyteta9170]

Please do more Zeppelin

[@douglaspensack3499]

What you lose by hearing this for 1st time in 2022 is you don't have a feel for how revolutionary it was in 1969! Same is true for 1st Black Sabbath album.

[@bonniethompson2019]

I was ten years old, and they rocked my world. They have been my favorite rock band ever since. They are the GOATS.

[@MsTruthseeker999]

I was 10 in 1972 and my sister was 18 and played this at her house she was sharing with 3 other college students. She had Led Zeppelin playing and I just had to dance and was instantly in love with that voice! It's funny too they had a poster of Frank Zappa on the toilet door on the inside which was really freaky to me...no one likes to be watched going to the bathroom...oh wait there's all sorts of weirdos out there now lol. I have pristine vinyls of Led Zeppelin 4 and Physical Graffiti and all the rest on CD and listen to them all the time when I'm not watching reactions.

[@WonderMommaOG]

I imagine that in 1969, with how divinely unique and hard hitting this song is, it had the same effect that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" did in my world the first time I heard it in 1991. It is a visible, obvious and drastic change in music. A "stop what you're doing and listen" life changer.

[@lewisjohnson8297]

I was fingerings through the albums in the record store, when the humor of the bands name, coupled with the burning Hindenburg cover just grabbed my imagination. So, I had to listen in . . . and buy it!

[@scottdavis2252]

Yes, Bonham played triplets on a single bass drum. I was 12 when I first heard Zeppelin . My brother turned me on to Whole Lotta Love and that was it for me, I was hooked

[@johngolden5257]

The mighty John Bonham!

[@totaleclipse05]

This is why this song is my favorite zeppelin song, the triplets are amazing.

[@greggooch241]

You've got to listen to one of the best QUEEN songs nobody knows about..its called ITS LATE

[@maureendennis1736]

Dazed and confused live!!!!

[@TexasMagnolia]

I love when Zeppelin reactions come-up in my suggestions!! Really appreciate you discuss the background.

[@josephtedrick7706]

I can’t wait to till you hear When The Levee Breaks!!! Most sampled beat EVER..

[@guidosarducci]

So, it was a chilly evening in Virginia in early 1969. I was a young lad, 18 years of age, about to turn 19 in April. The art teacher at a particular 'girls college' invited our quintet (3 guys, 2 girls) of friends over to drink wine, etc., etc. Mr. Instructor said 'I have a song that I'd like you guys to hear, and then let me know what y'all think.' It was "Good Times, Bad Times" cranked up to 11. We were all blown away because it was like nothing we had ever heard. We found out later that month that it was LZ. One of the greatest times of my stupid life...

[@tgforty5]

The first time I heard Led Zeppelin: I was 10, and "Immigrant Song" was an AM radio hit in 1971. Bought the 45, and listened to it, and the B-side, "Hey Hey What Can I Say" over and over. My first Zeppelin album was "IV" a couple years later. Then came Sabbath, and this early teen was in heaven.

[@rayeckert242]

1975. “Led Zeppelin IV”. I was 14 and a little late to the game, but I jumped in head first. Thanks to my older brother for turning me on to Zeppelin. And I apologize for “borrowing “ your Led Zeppelin t- shirt.

[@doughaviland1729]

I saw them in Cleveland in July 1969, the same night Armstrong stepped on the Moon! They played the whole first Album and most of the yet unreleased second! NO ONE HAD HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE! 🤣... We had aisle seats in the fifth row and I could have hit Robert Plant with my popcorn bag, we were that close to the stage. The James Gang was the warm up band! A night to remember!

[@jonathanlocke6404]

That is a great story!

[@shaunmccaul1695]

good for you ... I was there October 1969 ... Boston garden ... MC5 and Johnny Winter were supporting acts.

[@donaldzabriskie8248]

Where did they perform, do you remember? I live in Cleveland.

[@MrThumbs63]

WOW

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Wow!! Did Jimmy play a Les Paul or his Tele? If it was the LP, Joe Walsh just sold it to Page that night! You were a witness to rock history my friend.

[@stevewyman6848]

I was born in 1961. My first album was Led Zeppelin I when I was 8 yrs old. We lived in Hawaii and my brother had a friend across the street with 4 brothers and they were a band in their garage and were always avant garde with new rock music. We used to sit around at their house and listen to new music. I loved the album so much I asked brother's friend to buy a copy for me. That was my first album and first love into Led Zeppelin, my all time favorite band.

[@Dreams4U2]

"You Shook Me" would have been a better representation of how this band rocked the shite with their first album. The first time I heard Led Zeppelin I was at the house of a friend who was teaching me acoustic guitar. I was 17-years-old. This band had a different sound from the other great bands of the time. You should have heard this with a really good stereo set and good speakers. You kids today have no idea how a set of good speakers could elevate a song. The separation, the crisp sound of each instrument. You just don't get that today.

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

1975 as a 13 year old, put on headphones to hear whole lotta love. Immediately forgot abba.

[@glenndespres5317]

Great Gatsby! That was some debut, wouldn’t you say? And yes, this sound came while the country was a scant few years removed from an era of 1950’s, Leave it to Beaver, and such. It dropped like thunder.

[@fghgffgvbgh]

Led zeppelin were already at the absolute peak with first one..just maintaining that is crazy and they did till 6 th.

[@vincentpepin5433]

Bonham is just killing the drum here!

[@williamcabell142]

Gentlemen...you have to check them out live! No they never end the same!

[@joannparker1977]

I cannot imagine what it must have been like hearing this for the first time. No one had heard anything like it. Welcome to rock. What it became from these guys. Really, this song is pretty historic. Besides all that, it is one of their best.

[@MilosDaddy]

I was in the 7th grade and we has a class picnic. One of my classmate's brothers, who was in high school, had Led Zeppelin II on 8-track. He brought it along with a boom box to the picnic, and we listened to it over and over again throughout the afternoon. I remember looking at the cover and thinking Robert Plant was a girl from the picture on it! LOL!! But we jammed with it, for sure!

[@27thangel23]

Charles Dickens- A Tale of Two Cities. Sydney Carton talking, even to us in Canada. (you were wondering about that line 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.'). Loved the book, loved the Zep tune... and your reaction: A OK. Peace, love and bellbottoms.

[@kecurroj]

Heard the second album before I heard the first one. That would have been in 1969 and the song was "The Lemon Song". I also saw them twice in concert. An unbelievable live band.

[@timwirasnik5878]

[@maureendennis1736]

I wore this album out back then. I went on a Led Zeppelin kick for a long time. Seeing people that react to Led Zeppelin it made me listen a lot more to their music. It’s a new experience for me. Now that’s all I listen to in my truck. Gotta play them loudly!!

[@bobwowk8440]

The first time I heard Led Zeppelin I was cruising in a Chevelle SS on my way to a high school Friday night football game. This song came on the radio and was blasting out of my Pioneer speakers. A guy pulled up next to me at a red light in an El Camino. He had on the same Cleveland fm radio station cranking out the same song. Back in the day we knew who was cool by the radio station we listened to. The coolest thing ever was when everyone was jamming to The Buzzard.

[@randyteta9170]

I was thirteen and I had the cassette and a little tape recorder I would play this on the recorder this was in 77 or 78 ..I constantly played it and wore out the cassette..down the road got the album ..My favorite Band

[@robertwalker1803]

The drumming by John Bonham is impeccable….

[@sailinbob11]

I don't remember the first time I heard Zeppelin, but I saw them in the Sombrero( Tampa Stadium) in 1973. Houses of the Holy tour. I was 13. As you can imagine I was kinda ruined after that. Donny Osmond bye bye... Lol... Funny I do remember the first Beatles song and where I was. I wanna hold your hand 1969 my older sister was listening to it.

[@MrTexxan8]

I was 14 when this came out and blew me away. Thanks to my neighbor for playing it on his wall of sound kick ass built in stereo that we cranked when his parents were out

[@markburgess2388]

Early in 69 Ernie, Dave and I were toolin around in Ernies dad VW Bug Token and Goofin Off. And KDWB Played it. We were 15, 14 and 14. Awe the Grand Old Dazes.

[@bryemartin6368]

I was 7-8 and my brother and his buddies were introducing me to our new pool table in our garage and starting cranking this song for the whole neighborhood to hear. It lives in the depths of my memory like nothing ever since. We were thriving on a good time after the most tragic time of our lives, losing our father. Zep and shooting pool years later, I was unbeatable, as well as the neighbors were huge Zep fans right from the start...

[@mongosaqqara]

GREATEST ALBUM EVER!

[@kevinsmith4429]

Almost got run over in a parking lot by my brothers best friend 's '67 Chevy 409. He slid up sideways to us just as Communication Breakdown came on. A month later at the Aragon Ballroom in the Chi,(Zep,10 Years ,B.B.King--$3.00) that was the song they opened up their set with,sometime around 11 p.m. at around 1:30 they took an hour break then played to a half full house until 4:00. Tell me we didn't have the most fun of any generation.

[@paulkeahtigh2]

I was 13yrs old in 1969, going to a boarding school,my friend bought this album,we would blast it every morning, great album, thanks 😎

[@reneegormley2824]

Trust me it'll grow on you , better every listen

[@edwardsalvadore878]

I was late to the party. Heard about it and got my first of several copies of LZ 1 in Juneish 69. I cannot describe what it was like to listen to this for the first time in 69. There was very little like this b4. I would give most anything to relive that WTF?!? moment again. BTW by that Christmas Abbey Road came out. Timing perspective there.

[@chadheckman2693]

You need more Led Zeppelin! Eventually, you have to do my favorite version of "Kashmir" from the 2007 Celebration Day concert at London's O2 Arena. GOAT rock song by the GOAT rock band. Then you will eventually get to the cover song of "Stairway to Heaven" by Heart at the Kennedy Center Honors: Led Zeppelin. As a special treat to Ryan, I think he will love the studio version of "Since I've Been Loving You" off the Led Zeppelin III album. Please more LZ!!! I'll be waiting and watching...
