Nice story... but so many ADs it's almost impossible to follow the telling

The first time I heard Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” I was in Thailand in the U.S. Air Force in 1970 working on B-52’s in the Vietnam war. They played it on the Armed Forces Radio Network. The first time I heard it I was hooked, and I ordered the album through the Air Force Base Exchange system. 53 years later I still have the same album and pull it out occasionally and play it, even though I can hear the song anytime digitally.

I got to the very front by getting 2 beers served in quart milk cartons and sharing sips to get by folks. Then as the 1st beer ran out, someone gave me a joint for sharing and that got me the rest of the way. Jimmy was wearing his black velvet embroidered dragon suit. Stunning! I’ll never forget that show. We were lucky that Ohio had so many great concerts and prices weren’t like now.

I'll ask this question of you as a longshot. Would you possibly know my brother Herb (Onderlinde) who was in Thailand the at U-Tapao RTAB around then? Skinny white guy around 5 " 8", 160-180 lbs(?) & brownish-blond hair. He also was working on B-52's in the Avionics section. Since he entered the USAF in '68 & separated in '71 or '72, he didn't spend a lot of time in Thailand or his 2nd assignment at Barksdale AFB. I realize the USAF was pretty big then, & IAW the Google Inet, there were 8 bases in Thailand. In those early days of the USAF, they could move a person around a lot, esp. as a single/married unaccompanied ; my first 2 assignments averaged 18 months each. It was cheap for the USAF because as an unaccompanied airman you had SH*T for a weight allowance. Hello Post Office!!

@@williamonderlinde5068 I was at U-Tapao from July 70-71 in the Avionics Maintenance Squadron (AMS). I was in the Comm / Nav Radio Shop fixing “D” model Buffs and KC-135 Tankers HF & UHF Radio and Interphone systems. The AMS squadron was pretty big with several different specialty shops that repaired different types of aircraft electronics systems, and we worked 24/7 in two different 12 hour shifts. The name doesn’t sound familiar, so he may have been in a different shop, or even on a different shift. We changed shifts every 2 months so we wouldn’t get stuck for a year on either days or nights. We also got one day off a week unless there was a big push going. Of course it was also more than 50 years ago so the memory may have faded a bit over time.

Youngest son wouldn't wake up and my oldest son started humming this song and the fiancee started laughing and said I heard about this. We cranked this song and all three of us sang it.

I was working an archaeological dig in Italy with a bunch of College Youngling Undergrads and we would have music playing while we were working through the hot summer days. One evening, after we got back from the dig site, several of us were talking and one girl looks over and says: "What's the name of that song that goes...aaaAAAAaaaaa-AH...aaaAAAAaaaaa-AH? Does anyone know?" And I looked over and said..."It's called Immigrant Song." She kinda sneers at me...because I'm much older than everyone else there (I'm a Graduate Student in my 50's...because why the fuck not, eh?) and I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about...and she says: "I'm not talking about the song from Hamilton, I mean the Rock Song." At which point I bow up...as you do when you know what the hell you're talking about and someone tells you you're wrong...and responded with: "It's CALLED Immigrant Song...it's by Led Zeppelin...and it came out in the 70's when I was a kid and I have been listening to it ever since. Anything else?" At which...she just kind of got quiet and the other kids looked at me like..."Wow..." Yeah...I won that argument...*laughs*

What I love most about Immigrant Song is the long, fast ascending line during the refrain, doubled by Jonesy and Page, followed by the sudden stop--a breath for air--before that brutal riff starts pounding yet again. It's an example of the juxtaposition of opposites that defined Zeppelin: soft and loud, dark and bright, heavy and light.

I am a Vikings fan, but I have never been to Minnesota. I know that it is a place that many believe the Norse came to. Rune stones are there and some are not dated to the Viking era. The reason I became a Vikings fan as a kid was of my love for swords and the whole era of the Dark Ages and Middle Ages. So I read King Arthur tales and Viking stories as a child. I was able to read amost anything by the age of 4. But I still can`t add or divide without a calculator! And of course as kids are I liked their uniforms too. J.R.R. Tolkien was introduced to me in I think 4th grade or 5th grade. My mom gave me "The Hobbit" for my birthday or Christmas then, and I have read as much as possible through the years. What a kickass driving beat Bonzo has going on in the song and the octave based riff Jimmy has in the song and topped by Plants war cry opening and the lyrics about a Viking attack! I love Zep III. It is so diverse , from this tune to "Since I`ve been loving you" to "Tangerine" to my favorite "Out on the Tiles". Incredible album!

As a teen in the 70’s, Led Zeppelin was pretty much the soundtrack of my life. I loved their music , and Robert Plant , with that gorgeous hair and crooked smile just ooozed sex appeal! As my son was growing up, I played Led Zeppelin sooo much that he begged me to stop. And so I did…. Until … A short while ago he ran excitedly to me to play a video he’d come across . The video was of a rubber chicken dog toy which sounded exactly like the scream in the Immigrant Song when squeezed. The video creator cleverly laid it over the instrumental track . My kiddo thought if was hilarious! ( it is ) So I took the opportunity to play the actual song to him again, and this time, he loved it. We’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin together ever since. It makes me happy to see him appreciating the music I love so much. He’s been wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt to school and introducing his friends to the bands music. It’s become very popular in his high school ( at least with the boys ). A new generation of fans is born. Just goes to show that great music never gets old and that rubber chickens will always be funny 😁

My favorite two songs on the LP, and they are perfect for what I'm about to say. I sold plasma for several weeks and stood in the rain for hours to buy two tickets to see them. It was 1977 at LSU campus in Baton Rouge. The show was, and still remains one of the biggest disappointments in my life. They absolutely slopped through every song missing all the nuances that made the vinyl so good, like they couln't care less. Nothing sounded good. Almost as bad as the Stones. So sad. Often I've wondered if they may have been freaked out by all the crazy coonasses.

As a lifelong Zeppelin fan and solo Robert Plant fan, there aren't many I don't love, but the Immigrant Song is definitely one of my favorites, but it ends too soon, this is one song I wish was at least 5 min. I now take my grandson with me to most of the concerts, but I wish he could have heard the entire band back in the day, it's something I would LOVE to see and hear again also. But as long as Robert keeps singing and touring, I'll keep going

Hearing the story about Dad singing and playing some air guitar really brought back the same type of memory. My dad is a music junkie. Back in high school, he had a job where he would change the 45s in the jukeboxes around the many, many, MANY bars/taverns in the city. (Milwaukee has more bars than McDonald's here!) He was able to keep the 45s that were taken out of rotation, so the collection when I was a child was huge. But, we were redoing a room in the house, tore down the walls, ripped down the ceiling... was massive amounts of fun with sledge hammers and crowbars!! Our classic rock station at the time would be on, and he was able to tell you the name of the band, the year it came out and the album it was from within the first 2 bar or two. Even today, text him some lyrics from a song in your head, and he can tell you everything about it. He can do this for 60s, 70s, and 80s music. The 90s? He switched to country. He still rocks out with the grandkids to the best music out there, and he can still kick our butts in music trivia! Long live our music junkie parents! Woooooo!

I love this song!! In 2007, when LZ played the tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun at the 02, tickets were rarer than hens teeth. A rock station in Toronto had a pair to give away, all you had to do was call in and do your best intro scream from the Immigrant Song. The best that I heard was a guy who called in (the contest ran between 7:30 & 8am) and let out a loud and gutteral AH-AH-AAAAAHH as he opened the door to his kids' bedroom. In the background was heard the terrified screams of his kids! He got them up for school pretty easily that morning!! I was laughing so hard I almost veered off the road! 🤣

Well, I'm a huge zeppelin fan. I love all their songs and my life goal is to have all their songs in vinyl records. Zeppelin took me out of depression when nobody did. They helped me when no one did. That's why I love them. Their songs are life lessons and you learn a LOT with them. The meaning behind each of their songs is life-changing. There they are laid secret behind each song. Only a real zeppelin fan understands the meaning.

Immigrant Song…not immigrants song.

When the Led Zepplin 3 album came out in 1970, I bought it, took it home and put it on my stereo and was blown away by track one, side one, Immigrant Song. I still listen to it now. It was the same time I joined the Air Force right out of High School and did 20 years. I also listened to King Crimson, Alice Cooper, and others. Still do.

I was just a child, maybe 6 or 7, on the Gong Show these guys dressed as aliens and did air band to immigrant song. Not only was it my first time hearing Led Zeppelin, it's the first time I can remember being completely blown away by a song, the first time I realized that I have my own personal taste in music instead of simply liking what my parents listened to. Yep, a pivotal childhood memory.

So, the first time I remember hearing this song, and it's a vivid memory I will never forget, is when I was in high school and the song comes on the radio. My mom, who is a Catholic church volunteer that teaches catichism (Catholic school teaching), started to wail in unison with Robert Plant's opening of the song, and of course my jaw hit the floor. This song is purely a visceral experience for everyone, from all walks of life. It's not a very deep song, lyric-wise, but it's the not the words that grab everyone. It's the primal emotion it brings out in all of us that makes it just a great song.

Love this song. I was a Karaoke host for 17 years. It took me over 10 years to finally get the screams in the beginning of the song. It is a tough song to sing because of the that.

The reason Immigrant Song resonated so well in the UK is the fact many people on the British Isles have Scandinavian heritage. The Vikings didn't just conquer, they also intermingled with the Anglo-Saxon, and Celtic communities as traders. Especially in the Dane Law regions. Plant is huge history fan of these cultures which make the genetic composition of the UK. Northern Europe share a close genetic haplogroup who had a tendency to fight among itself for arable farming land; the Germanic people with the exception of the Celts.

My mom was married multiple times. We typically had a lot of pop music playing in the house, although we were a music-loving family so any genre was welcome. I will NEVER forget when one of my Step dads introduced me to Zeplin. This was the first song I heard. The first time I heard Plant's battle cry is ingrained in my memory. Needless to say, he was my favorite of all my stepfathers.

I was in high school in '87 and enjoyed Zeppelin alot. While thinking I was alone in the stairwell, I badly belted out a Plant scream from 'Immigrant Song' and was rewarded by a fellow student coming up the stairs and perfectly finishing my poor rendition. I was embarrassed but we high-fived regardless...cuz it's Zeppelin!

I actually sing the Valkyries Sword wail in The introduction in Immigrant song

I remember listening to it for the first time as a kid during shrek the third and it was the best song ever, I always remembered it but never knew what it was until i grew up. Im only 18 but zeppelin has had a great impact on me as me and my friends all love them, we sing immigrant song occasionally during our band practices and its funny seeing all of us try and hit plants angelic yet fierce battle cry

I was turned on to Zeppelin in the mid 80's when I was a teenager and have hooked ever since. Best rock (Classic rock/Blues) band ever! I have all their music and still jam out to them today. Timeless!

I remember when that album came out and I got it as a 13 year old kid and proceeded to wear it out. "Immigrant Song" was almost my second favorite of the album, but "Since I've Been Loving You" was the master stroke.

I never saw this song as being interpreted as Zeppelin themselves as being real-life conquerors. I just saw it as a story song, as Robert and the band being characters in a musical tale.

Led Zeppelin III was one of my favorite albums from the band. And I was a HARDCORE fan for many years. I love all their experimentation of musical styles. And most of that went over most people's heads.

This is one of my favorite videos from this channel. My step-father passed away 2 weeks ago. He and I did NOT get along, but I inherited about 40 of his old records. I used to get into so much trouble when I would open up his surprisingly good music collection. Anyway, this record was one of my favorites. Despite our many issues that kept us apart, I always appreciated his taste in music which told me that we must have has something in common. He’s to you John. I hope you’re rocking out in Valhalla 🤘🤙✊

I was a 14 yr old Icelandic super Led Zeppelin fan at the Reykjavik 1970 gig, and the txt in Immigrant song went straight to my heart. Names like Valhalla ( in icelandic Valhöll) Thor, (Þór) Thors hammer (Mjölnir) e.cet are fairly common in Icelandic, specially Þór, witch is an common second male name. Thank you LZ.

I first heard this song at the age of 11….It blew my mind. That was over 45 years ago and I’ll never forget it. Truly a beast of a song!

1976, 8 yrs.

There really never was anything like Immigrant song done before that

I was born in 1969 in Canada (Thunder Bay). My neighbour was a a beautiful blonde haired girl named Heather. She was about 7 years older than me. It was because of her that I heard "The Immigrant Song" for the first time. It was about 7-8 years after the song was released (1977-78?). It was a warm , sunny summer day and I was out in the backyard playing . All of a sudden I heard the iconic wail from Robert Plant. I remember it was like hearing a siren wailing from the portable record player she had beside her open bedroom window on the second floor of her house. I climbed the maple tree that straddled our two yards to hear it better. I climbed to the point that she saw me and with a smile I'll remember to this day , she cranked up that song and made an instant fan out of me. Thank you very much for rekindling that memory! I am now a proud subscriber of your channel. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

I had the good fortune to attend that Bath Festival of Blues and Prog 1970. I was under the stage sharing a joint with Grace Slick with Led Zep pounding away above our heads! An experience never to be forgotten!

My best memory is when my son, being of Nordic descent, started using it as his "walk up song" in collegiate baseball.

This content is gold. Seeing how your relationship with your dad influenced your love of music warms the heart. Thank you!

I'm 68 years of experienced and to this day I get goose bumps when The Immigrant song comes on local radio .

Well done, Adam!!*. One of my favorites so far...LZ is heavily represented in the music I listen to EVERY DAY!! Immigrant Song (a live version) is absolutely stunning every time! Kudos for always bringing such infective enthusiasm to every subject in you present.

Trivia: Jack Black pleaded the surviving members of Led Zeppelin to badly use "Immigrant Song" in "School of Rock". Having a history of refused licenses for their songs, Jack recorded a plea to the members of the band in front of a live audience of 1,000 extras, in which they finally agreed to license it in the movie. This was included on the bonus features of the "School of Rock" DVD.

Tell me you didn’t watch the whole video without telling me you didn’t watch the whole video.

"Immigrant Song" is an example of Page's ability to paint a scene using sound. You can hear the rhythm of the Viking's boat coxswain keeping time for the Viking oarsmen of the low boat, you can see them rowing across the North Atlantic. There plenty of examples of Page doing this. You can hear the horses come galloping in The Battle of Evermore, and in Gallows Pole. In Stairway, you hear the song rise, befitting a stairway to Heaven. Then, Page makes a magnificent sonic statement upon reaching the doors of Heaven, which leads to the ecstatic solo, befitting being in Heaven. You can hear the mourning in songs like In My Time of Dying, and other songs about sadness. Close your eyes and see the rain making rivulets down a window as you listen to The Rain Song. Page was a master of painting the essence of he song, matching the lyrics and genre. Can you name another song in which the sound, lyrics and rhythm match are in sync with each other? There is a classic I left out. And there is a well-known rock song that is, in my opinion, the antithesis of this. Can you name it? Professor, love your channel.

I'd heard tell that the wail Plant let loose was an homage to Bali Hai in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.

I was a small child, in my teen cousins' bedroom, with the black lights and strobe lights going, they played this song. I loved it! I was about 2 1/2 years old, and my mind was blown! 🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜

We OWE our parents, who shared their music with their ungrateful children... those seeds planted a love that often blossomed later, without a proper thank you from us to them. It was only after my dad passed away that I thought to thank my mother for the gift they gave my brother and I. I told my mom how sorry I was not to be able to thank dad too. My mom reminded me of those days when I was my dad's caregiver, when I'd turn off the TV and play themed tours of 50s to 80s music for them. We'd talk about the songs and I'd find the next song based on where the discussion took us. Mom told me that my dad really loved those special music only days, and he commented to her on how surprised he was that I chose HIS favourite songs each time. My dad had suffered slight brain damage from oxygen starvation which left him feeling isolated as it was hard for him to communicate with anyone. He had his own TV in his room and watched nature shows alone. In his last year and a half I drew him out with my monthly music days. If I had known, I would have done that on a weekly basis. Music therapy... I didn't realize that's what I was doing. After talking to mom about that, I began to give us weekly music days as I became my ailing mothers caregiver. How rewarding those days were! They are both gone now, but the memory of those special days listening to each other over great music remains my best memory of them.

I've been listening to this song for 50 years and I had no clue to its meaning, and I was a professional musician, which makes my guilt even worse. Thanks for an incredible documentary, Pro.

The Immigrant Song is the first Led Zeppelin song I remember from my childhood. I was born in 1966 just south of Detroit, Michigan...you know, the home of Motown. Back in those days, AM radios were standard in most vehicles. As FM gained popularity, you could purchase a car with a FM radio, for an upcharge. I remember The Immigrant Song playing on CKLW (AM-Windsor, Ontario)...sitting with my brothers and sister waiting for dad to come walking out of the steel plant after he finished his shift. That young, I didn't know the words...but I never forgot that sound. It's still one of my favorite Zep songs!

My dad was a huge Led Zeppelin fan. I used to listen to his albums on my record player and I grew a love for them as well. My dad went to several of their concerts. He would tell us how bands used to play 3 - 4 night shows in the same venue, so he would go to all 3 or 4 shows each time they came around. Anyhow, when I was a teenager Robert Plant toured with Allanah Myles and I took my dad to the concert. This was in 1990 at the Sacramento Cal Expo. They had a pretty cool stage setup, part of which had movie screens on each side of the stage that were comprised of smaller rotating triangles. When the triangles stopped rotating, they would play images on the screens that they made. When Immigrant Song was played, they showed images of Vikings coming ashore, jumping out of their boats and kissing the sand of the beaches, etc. I was one of the best concert experiences I've ever had, and it was great to share it with my dad.

To see them at their apex, 1973 MSG in NY, Plants vocals, Pages guitar, they were as tight as any show I'd seen, put on headphones and the opening # is chilling.

Zeppelin hit you with everything! Immigrant song to the Rain Song and they did both better than any other band! There is no argument!

Great Show!! I had step sisters who were just old enough that they introduced me to most of this, including Immigrant Song! The music they exposed me to marks some of my best memories of that time.

I am 51 years old and grew up on Zeppelin. My pick for the most iconic use of this song goes to the Thor movie when he's fighting on the bridge. I jumped out of my damn seat and said f*ck yeah. Then realized I was in a movie theater and sat down quickly. Oops, sorry kids. Lol

Honestly, it was Zep's folkier songs that got me to start listening to them. My mom played and taught folk guitar and so I grew up with lots of folk and folk rock music in the house. It wasn't just folk that she sang, but that's music that we both could bond over. And I fell in love with their song, "Ramble On" (and not just because I also liked Tolkien). I never was much for metal, except for Zeppelin, and a few songs here and there. It was the Bluesier and Folkier songs of theirs that actually hooked me. Don't get me wrong -- I eventually started to like harder stuff like "A Whole Lotta Love". But "Ramble On" for me is the best.

That was absolutely the coolness of their sound… Led Zeppelin had so many old school tastes and influences in Pop and Folk music that they appreciated. Huge Elvis fans and Presley was very Country. Newer bands do not have that advantage, so they often sound more like a pastiche of 1970s bands. They lack the capacity for “weirdness… “

To see Zeppelin in concert in their early years was to experience a force of nature that no other band could match.

Dear Nia The Gulf Gypsy, eight times for me, the following story i actually compiled for another reaction site for Immigrant's Song but i think it deserves to be shared here even if it segues into the experience of a Zep concert experience...please excuse my lack of digital protocol that comments should be short, the moderator will either let this remain or take it down, it doesn't really matter to me, just as long as ONE single younger person has the attention span to get thru the whole thing...so here it is: it all started back in 1968 when i introduced my highschool to led Zep 1...oh yes i did and thus began my life long obsession with Zep. i saw these guys a total of 8, yeah that's right, EIGHT times and even got to meet Plant and well sorta meet and help JPJ in a bar when he was so effed up he could hardly walk, lol...this particular song is in my top five and you cannot even imagine what it was like to hear it live in concert, Hammer of the GODS daX! i used to lift weights to this song, drive with this song, use it before, ahem, jacking myself up before skirmishes, standing on my head stoned on peyote in the new Mexican wasteland, well, i think you get the idea.haha. i could literally spend an entire evening over scotch with you all, 'ramblin' on about these lads my friend, but for now, i'll be back for more exciting action packed adventures later, but for now i'll conclude with a little story of what happened in Seattle 1971... ...okay i was right in front of Bob, they were on a 4 foot high stage back in the day before maniacs abounded, right smack dab in font, i could've reached out and grabbed his feet in supplication, lol...well they all sat down on stools and tried to play few acoustical numbers from a yet unreleased Zep 3, and as they started to play that Seattle crowd wanted nothing to do with it, they wanted ROCK & ROLL and NOW: firecrackers, frisbees, bottles were chucked so they, without one spoken word got up and laid the mandolin etc down, and without one spoken word, just eye contact and nods to one another picked up the appropriate gear and Plant looked down and gave me a little wink and then they LAUNCHED, launched into, yep, Communication BREAKDOWN,...now what happened next is an explosion of roars from the crowd and i was crushed up against the stage right under Plant and i was for a brief moment witnessing actual startled fearful eye exchanges amongst the members of the band until Jimmy in a micro-second gave the others a look that said let's just go for it an my God did they ever go for it. i been to see all the Big boys back in the day but to this moment, i have NEVER experienced such an explosive give and take from a band with the audience, it was truly an INSANE performance...💖2 u Nia, peace out.

@@yeti1002 dear Yeti 100, glad you enjoyed it. i've actually got enuff material to write a Hunter S. Thompson-esque book of these zep whoppers, lol. i was just hoping some younger kids, (hey, maybe that mite be u) have the digital attention span to grasp the mystical zep surreality from some one who was actually THERE> lol. so, yup. even tho' i'm in my 70's i'm a purdy hardcore zep head even to this day, it borders on the absurd.🤣but y'know what is even MORE absurd? if u can riddle me this yeti-man, we just mite have solved the quantum riddle of the musical multiverse...how does a zapped out total zep-hed like me, segue into the music and lyrics from another young artist at the furthest edge of the musical spectrum so far removed from zep it's insane to even try to explain? i'm talking about Grace Vanderwaal...i mean WTF? over the last 10 years since retirement, i've been combing thru youtube looking for musical prodigies, as i refuse to not acknowledge that musical quintessence in any genre , no matter how rare these days, has simply evaporated..and then about 6 years ago i found Grace V. go figure! i have utterly no rational explanation as to how this kid does the same thingie that zep back in the day to zap my still healthy music loving ticker...hey, peace out and i hope my rather lengthy screed didn't bore u 2 tears and remember always, "love will eventually conquer all" 💖sincerely ys, "harking" harold wilson.😁

My band I was in with my friends in high school covered Immigrant Song a couple times. We had no hope of hitting the high note on the wail so I suggested we go the Kurt Cobain route and just scream as loud as we could, but not only the singer, all four of us at once just screaming. It was a lot of fun to perform it that way 😆😁

When you said you took the Kurt Cobain route I thought you were going to say you got fucked up on drugs and killed yourself. 🤔

Stellar channel man!!! You got me very intrigued with the Tempted episode and got me subscribing with this one. Can’t wait to see some more

I saw them open with Immegrant song in San Antonio in 1972. It was a life changing moment that I will never forget! Jimmy and Jonsies opening power chords was so powerful it knocked the floor crowd back a step like a wave across the arena. I've never seen or heard anything like that since.

Zeppelins finest. It starts the album off with the heaviest thing they’ve done and after 2 & 1/2 minutes it quickly goes acoustic. Letting everyone know they can rock hard, and have an acoustic side as well.

Interesting that they say it started as a joke. I think this is where Led Zeppelin discovered that they could be much more than an accomplished Blues homage band, that they were good enough to break all the boundaries and be themselves. The 3rd album is largely a back to traditional blues album. The next three albums exploded with creativity and new energy.

Funny thing about the second track and third track off of Zeppelin 3 is that i consider both to be my personal favorites off that album (Friends and Celebration Day). Both go hand in hand, plus the soft accoustic stringy sound of Friends compliments the heavier electric guitar rock sound of Celebration Day. Just perfect in my take.

Those are my people. They came over from Norway and Sweden last century. I thank my immigrant grandparents for having the courage and fortitude to come to a new land where they knew no one and didn't speak the language. So that's our song.

Love your channel. I was born in 1970. Lived in North Carolina all my life. So, I like the dibs you give Southern Rock and raised in the 70's and 80's, you cover all the tunes and acts I love!! You are the man Professor of Rock!!
