We react to Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused (Official Audio) | REACTION

[@davet8759]

The 28 min live version from MSG 1973 is the greatest performance the world has ever seen. Page required an exorcism after the show.

[@chamberlinfinancialinc.9514]

Definitely!

[@jeremyedwards1093]

It is! It really is!

[@whipit4me]

Best live performance!!!

[@willyroussel3563]

So true, it is proof that Aliens exist. Jimmy is not from this world.

[@jerrenpentance]

😂

[@peterfhere9461]

The middle section of this song is a rare example of a double "call and respons"e. Jimmy Page on guitar and Robert Plant on vocals play alternatively to each other, while in between John Paul Jones on bass and John Bonham on drums call and respond. Brilliant!

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, they were utter genius in the transitions from one incredible segment to the next, who else thinks up stuff like the trippy mid section, then blasts you to smithereens with one of Page's greatest guitar solos. Pure genius.

[@christianmarler2253]

Great observation! The bass and drums have a call and response section, too.

[@vicprovost2561]

@@christianmarler2253 Yes, they are doing their thing while Page and Plant do theirs, utter genius!

[@billtaylor3382]

Hi from Phoenix Arizona, I love seeing your reactions to the GOAT! 66 yo old now and man I have loved this band from their first album to the last! I got to seem them live in 1975 as a 17 yo kid! Peace and Love to you both!❤

[@christianmarler2253]

Howdy, Neighbor!!🌵

[@andreaschmall5560]

Over half a century old and still getting the same reaction from first time listeners.

[@vicrodriguez8344]

In 1966 I was 10 yo, my 1st concert was the Beatles. my 2nd concert was 8 years later and it was Led Zeppelin. the Beatles was for a kid and Zeppelin was for an adult. I'm a lucky man.

[@mitchellbeston1033]

Just magic! It never gets old.

[@christianmarler2253]

I can attest to that. After at least 250 listens, I enjoyed it again just as much just now.

[@bowtiefidenine]

Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤

Those of us you were teenagers & had all this genius, no computers, just pure talent& to see generation after generation discovering this, makes me so happy. We were blessed ❤️🙏

[@christianmarler2253]

It makes it all even more real.

[@EdA1]

So happy you finally got to Dazed! I had requested it as well and love your reaction 😊… A highlight of their first album and a showpiece for them live… Robert‘s voice in late 68 when they recorded this was through the roof powerful. By the time you get to the 1973 live performance, you’ll note that he has a very different approach to it as does the whole band. They used the original recording as a starting point for them to really explore and improvise! and the Royal Albert Hall version from 1970 is right in the middle so you get to see how the band evolved especially with this great song!

[@tektoniks_architects]

7 minutes on the album.....30 minutes live. Jimmy is playing the guitar in the mid-section with a cello bow. The 1973 full version at MSG is perhaps the greatest rock guitar performance put to film.

[@JoeandAngie]

You, Sir, are a teller of truth and are now my friend forever. 😅

[@paramounttechnicalconsulti5219]

Hell with rock, the greatest blues band ever!

[@christianmarler2253]

I always tell anyone who's unfamiliar with LZ's work, they were, at their core, not a heavy metal band but a heavy blues band, not a hard rock band but a hard blues band.

[@EdwardDonahue-wp9ng]

Absolutely! Every song on every album was a masterpiece. “When the Levee Breaks” has become a popular “in the know” answer; “In my Time of Dying”? Also love “Boogeying with Stu” and “Bryn Whar Stomp” (a love song to a dog); brilliant!

[@christianmarler2253]

@@EdwardDonahue-wp9ng A drummer friend in college showed me how brilliant Bonham was on “In my Time of Dying” specifically. He was aware that Bonham's setup included only a single bass, single pedal. You're right, you could list all the songs and I wouldn't hear one title that would make me say I didn't like it. Love When the Levee Breaks -- Ramble On -- How Many More Times -- Communication Breakdown -- Ten Years Gone -- That's The Way -- The Lemon Song -- The Rain Song -- The Wanton Song -- Bring It On Home -- Dazed and Confused -- Kashmir -- Fool In The Rain -- The Ocean --...yeah, everything.

[@paramounttechnicalconsulti5219]

@@christianmarler2253 I heard someone explain Zeppelin's "sound" once. Every other group is led by the guitar with drum and base setting rhythm. Zeppelin led with bass and drum with Page's guitar and Plant's vocals as the musical "fill". Probably didn't explain it well, but it was a fascinating escription.

[@paullombard779]

Great Pick, thanks to Andy enjoy the 60s, 70s, 80s..... I'm a 68 year old who is stuck in these years. Excellent Reactions and be happy this music is available still today. Be safe well healthy happy always, keep going within this realm. Try some Rolling Stones, The Who, Steppingwolf, Three Dog Night, Ten Years After, ELP (Emerson Lake & Palmer), ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).....etc.....

[@Philby17]

Led Zeppelin used this frequently in their live shows, and included within it parts of other songs in their catalogue (Achilles Last Stand) or even 'Be Sure to Wear Flowers in your Hair'. The live MSG version is truly epic - so many incredible transitions and phases - it's a trip.

[@stanleymerritt4722]

70s. They were a trip. A good one.

[@christianmarler2253]

There's a famous quote from...someone...that said something like, "If you can remember the 60s, you weren't there." Based on your comment, I would paraphrase that quote and say, "If you were in the 70s, you remember them."

[@Roh_Echt]

I still remember the excitement of buying each new Zeppelin album....and wearing it out on the turntable until the next one arrived at the record stores. 🤘😆🤘

[@vicprovost2561]

Exactly!

[@ryanr5319]

I love so much that you love them! But, hey, how can you not? They are the greatest band ever. Ty for another awesome reaction to the Boys!

[@JoeandAngie]

The 73 MSG D&C guitar prowess shown is unequaled in the world of electric guitar. Absolutely no one has ever come close to this. Probably makes Clapton cry...as well as Petrucci, et al. Edit: Carol...as Jimmy Page said to my cousin in Atlanta in '75, whilst his window was rolled down and she was being her hot self, "Shake it, baby!"

[@martinbellamy940]

At 71 I still get the same thrill listening to Zeppelin tracks as I did over 50 years ago when I was fortunate enough to see them live a number of times. I am thrilled that you are discovering some great music from past decades, keep going.

[@kjisnot]

The first time I saw them with Grand Funk Railroad as the opening act the tickets were $4.

[@caracoidwren944]

Great idea doing both live and studio!

[@davidleach4689]

Masterpiece of a song

[@MrVvulf]

It was a labor of love for Jimmy Page. He started working on it while he was still with "The Yardbirds" when its title was "I'm Confused".

[@aazo5]

This was the song that got me into Zeppelin in high school, when I was listening to modern alt rock (which I still do to be fair) … and I’m 24 lol. It changed my understanding of how rock could be done and with Jimmy’s underrated guitar solo… it was a major reason for becoming a guitarist, knowing a band did this in 1969

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Love seeing young Zep fan! I’m 77 and they are still my favorite band.

[@phillipharrison7283]

The stand out track on the best debut album EVER!!! Cheers

[@RichardCuller-y4q]

Thanks! This is a request and a tip - the request is for ya'll to react to Yes "Roundabout" from the studio album "Fragile" - you probably have had some requests for this song from LZ fans...GUARANTEE that it will blow you away (better builds and transitions than almost ANY song you have reacted to thus far in your journey) - the tip part of this is for your decision to react to the over 29 minute version of "Dazed and Confused" - It is the best version live i've ever heard, i would have recommended it first, but it is so long just wasn't sure you could react to that INCREDIBLE performance...it's more organized with even better drumming...and the transitions are much better than Royal Albert Hall...only problem is i think the video will be from the movie..."The Song Remains the Same"...but their may be a video out there that is just the live performance...it's incredible either way; but the movie version will have scenes other than from the performance if that makes sense...thanks. You also could choose to just play the audio version from the live album "The Song Remains the Same"...Andy

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

I absolutely LOVE watching you react to these great Zeppelin tracks. Dazed is an all time great. It’s just too good. How Many More Times is another great one from this album. Thanks!

[@adrianolmedo3816]

I used the Google translator (first time) on your comment and discovered I agree with everything you said. Thumbs up. 👍

[@Keithss1000]

Starts off sounding like a rock funeral march , then explodes into a riot of energy. ...over the last half century, whenever I have needed to wake up and get motivated, this song(and the whole album actually) along with that second cup of coffee has done the trick. Watching you kids react and bounce around is a lot of fun....I reacted about the same way when I first heard it.

[@randygumaer282]

Jimmy Page used a cello bow on his Les Paul to make crying or wailing sounds with the guitar.

[@jerryward3311]

Congrat's on over 100K subscribers by the way...ya'll deserve it. Just remember, Plant and Bonham were 20 years old when they recorded this record...simply incredible musicianship and talent

[@twobeer3316]

Cream and Hendrix were pushing the boundaries into hard rock, but I have always considered this the first heavy metal song.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

It's hard rock, not heavy metal. And don't forget, Steppenwolf, they were also early pioneers of hard rock, with both, "Born To Be Wild", and, "Magic Carpet Ride", coming out before Led Zeppelin debuted on the scene.

[@hebber1961]

You guys do it perfect. Studio then a good live performance.

There’s no shame in having 20 or so picks in your top 5 Zeppelin tunes, they definitely captivate. Whatever it is today, it is likely to be different tomorrow.

[@vicprovost2561]

Spot on, 20 to 30 songs to squeeze into a top 5, beyond tough decisions. At least a top 20 might be feasible but the next 20 are just about as good. Greatness for 99% of their catalog.

What an Amazing original, the studio mix was never surpassed live but what they did live, in extended improvisation, evolved live into one of the all time, great epics by anyone. Do it at MSG 1973, the full 28 minute version is a sight to behold and hear in wonder. Simply the best, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@danhollatz5944]

John "Bonzo" Bonham drumming switching times are insane!

[@alan73795]

One of the earliest songs in the Zep canon; Page wrote and performed it while he was still in the Yardbirds. You can see a rare Yardbirds live performance here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3m6gqeIn6x7ndE BTW: The blistering guitar solo was similar to the one he used in another great Yardbirds rocker "Think About It". Worth checking it out and comparing the two.

[@jerrenpentance]

Nothing like the classics, huh. Zeppelin taught everyone else how to play real music.

[@leegoldsmith8395]

[@michaeldavid6284]

I love live music and have been to hundreds of concerts over the years, but Zeppelin's studio recordings are masterpieces that are far superior to the live versions. The live cuts aren't bad, just very different and not as moving.

[@franksullivan1873]

I agree.

[@joescott8877]

"You have TWENTY in your Top Five! They have to be five" LMAO! Elie has a good point, haha. Yes, five, not twenty, lol, but yes, it's hard to stick to just a handful of Zep Faves!

[@chuckb25]

This is the only song of theirs I know where there are actually two sets of Call and response. The drum responding to the base. And of course, Robert Plant responding to Jimmy page’s guitar. But at the same time? Sheer genius.

[@sicotshit7068]

What’s really amazing, they were only together as a band, about two months when the recorded this. The long live version is amazing, just saw a long live a reactor did earlier, May 24,1975 Earls Court.

[@sandyl7868]

NO ONE can pull that off but LED ZEPPELIN!

[@kennethcamilleri4678]

Jimmy’s guitar solo in the studio version is pure perfection….I saw so many live performances by Led Zep at one point seeing six consecutive concerts in six days…at that point during the Kasmir tour they decided to eliminate this song from the set….bad move Jimmy…

[@joeynatts6542]

Awesome reaction guys! Love to see you reqct to the greatest band of all time..HOWEVER..you're making a HUGE mistake reacting to live versions first. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS react to the studio or album version first so you know what you're hearing when you listen to the live version.ESPECIALLY with Led Zeppelin. You absolutely MUST do a studio version reaction to KASHMIR & SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU. They are totally different than the live version and much better.I assure you they will both be in your top 5!

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

I highly recommend you guys checking out an a cappella group called “Pentatonix”. The original five members are Scott, Mitch, Kirstie, Kevin, and Avi. They originated on a show called “The Sing Off” and those performances should be on YT. They have grown SO MUCH in the last 12 years and are even more incredible now! All of their performances are phenomenal and I have a hard time telling you where to begin but a couple personal favorites are: 90s Dance Medley, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Sound of Silence

[@christianmarler2253]

I've heard this all the way through 200+ times, and I think this song and maybe Ramble On are my two favorite songs of theirs. All of their other songs are tied for a very close third. [EDIT: 200+ times was a quick estimate. Counting just now listening to it with you, this is the fourth or fifth time I've listened to it this year. Been listening to this for around 40 years. If I listened to it 10 times a year for 40 years, that would be 400 times. Seven times a year would be 280 times. So, I would revise my estimate to 250+ times I've heard this recording. 🤔]

[@gurufitness1984]

Plant was 19 when they recorded this!

[@mega00760]

love me some Zep,thanks

[@animistchannel]

This song sounds like complaining, but it really ends up being a kind of praise for the power and cunning that the woman can wield, perhaps indirectly but definitely according to her will -- and so often even in myhthology, the powers of the world of men are helpless putty in their hands. Echoes of Helen of Troy perhaps here... and it looked like you understood that right away. Yes, live versions of this piece got so long with extended improvised section, that some of those sections would get lifted out and turn into tracks of their own. They were literally writing new songs on stage from the improv in this one. I believe both "Achilles Last Stand" and "Trampled Under Foot" were among the songs that evolved this way.

[@_TheLONEwolf]

13 when introduced to Zep, Stairway to Heaven is the greatest Rand R song ever, but dazed and confused is the greatest song Zep ever did. Does that make sense? About as much sense as a "lead zeppelin"
