San Francisco 1972, I first heard this on a local unground FM radio station. After the DJ played the song, she paused for a moment and then remarked, “If god played the drums, he would sound like John Bonham.”
Bonham was a powerhouse. THE greatest rock drummer. So many musicians/bands have been influenced by him and sampled him.

It helps that the emotion in the harmonica is coming from the singer.... He's putting as much emotion into the harmonica as he is in his singing.. Robert Plant was as good as every other one of the musicians in the band... Truly four equals...!!!
Welcome down the Zeppelin rabbit whole…..u will never hear anything like this ever!!!it turns me on!! It is a harmonica, Robert Plant is so soulful and believable!!! Those who lost their homes because of the Leve breaking was a total heartbreak and complete devastation to those in its wake. Robert was relating!! You can hear the total sadness! Bonam is the elite best drummer of all time. He wasn’t even hitting those drums with all his might like it sounds….it was controlled and he played along with Jimmy, John Paul and of course Robert!!!

Jimmy was a master of producing. Merging slide guitar with Robert's harmonica. Recording Bonzo's drums in the stairwell AND running it through a Binson echorec. Slight phase on vocals and intelligent use of reverb (this is a Master Class on reverb usage), Jimmy knows sounds. Masterpiece.

This is perhaps my favorite Zep song. Yes: those drums are a force of nature! Incredible beat and groove on this one.
The bass lick in this song is insane. I have never heard it in isolation but I think it would make a great track all on it’s own.
There are alot of amazing bands out there, but Led Zeppelin in my opinion is the most musically talented band in history. I honestly don't know of any band that matches them. They also have probably the greatest volume of awesome songs. There's literally like 40 to 50 amazing tracks in their portfolio.

This is the heaviest, hardest hitting, evocative blues song ever recorded. Zeppelin at its most powerful! Maybe Plant’s greatest vocal in my opinion, and certainly the most powerful harmonica playing ever recorded, but that’s also due to massive production. Genius.
Blows my mind how many people are missing out on Zeppelin . 🤘🍻🍻🍻
Originally released in 1929, the song is based on the great Mississippi River flood of 1927. Led Zeppelin's music is totally original. This was recorded at Headley Grange using the natural reverb from a massive stairwell for the reverb and echo of the drums.

The day Bonham died my brother called me from work and told me the sad news. I was 11 and still a baby Led Head. He told me next Zeppelin song I hear, turn your ears directly to the drums and the drummer will blow your mind. So even to this day when a Zeppelin song comes on that's what I do. The Great John Bonham
Another good review! I agree the Drums propel this song and are hypnotic, powerful and create a massive groove! It’s in the Blues vein but more powerful! And you’re right, the Harmonica is wailing like it’s crying out loud! It’s about losing everything when the Levee Breaks because he lives by the flood lines. Plenty of poor Third World people go through this every day around the World 🌎. They live in shacks close to the water and when the Weather turns on them, they get wiped out! Even killed. Sad but true! There’s nothing that can be done. It’s the horrible price of poverty that people pay with their lives. That’s what created the Blues as a music 🎶 form. People singing about their pain and troubles. And that’s why it’s so moving. And Plant mentions Chicago because it sounds good and Chicago is the Home of the Blues! The song is so hypnotic! After I hear it, it usually plays on in my head for hours like an Earworm.
The whole band's chemistry is why they are legendary, but Bonham was as influential as any drummer of the era. Even though people liked to call him "heavy" - which is understandable - he was exceptionally aware of how to make a beat swing. He studied the jazz greats before him, knew how to tune his drums for the best tone, and had an amazing touch. My fave for a reason.
Weeping vocals, slide gutair, and the thunder on the drums....so good
That's why they're called a Super group. Strong drums, strong vocals, strong guitar, strong composition.
Robert Plant played harmonica in multiple songs, always to good effect. This is Led Zeppelin’s take on a blues song by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929.
What's surprising is to see Bonham play. His kit is so simple compared to other drummers, especially modern drummers who are literally surrounded by drums. But he hit so hard...so much power...he got more sound out of that simple kit than anyone playing inside a circle of drums.
Awesome tune! By the end you feel like you're sinking into the mire of a broken levee. This was my introduction into Led Zeppelin as a 15 year old and 34 years later I'm still here. Enjoy Zeppelin, it's one helluva ride.
There are a lot of great songs to hear - they are the greatest rock band of all time.

I don't think you will find any two songs that sound alike. They were a very diverse and talented group. A band of brothers! All members were the best of their craft.

They recorded the drums in a stairwell. It gave them a huge sound that reverberated and that’s what makes that drum track so iconic.
I so much enjoy watching a new timer to Led Zeppelin as they listen to songs for the first time. I have been a Led Zeppelin fan for over 50yrs. I have ever song and album that they ever made. Most peoplel say that Stairway to Heaven is their greatest song. No Way. To me, its "Ten years Gone" and/or Thats the way, or even Thank you. Those are my favorites, but don't get me wrong. I love ALL of Led Zeps songs. One of your other comments says, Every zep song is your favorite, until the next song. lol There has been and never will be another band as great as Led Zeppelin. Do all their songs, but make sure you do Ten years Gone. To me, their greatest piece of work. Whatever you do, don't let this be the only song you do. John Bonham was the greatest drummer ever. So great that when he died in 1980 the band disbanded, because they knew they would never find a replacement. For one thing. Drummers follow the bass player in most all bands, but, John Bonham followed Jimmy Page, the guitarilst. And that was one of the many diferences in this band. He as fired from many bands because everyone said he was to Loud. Their Loss.
I am so pleased you have found these guys, to me they are the greatest that ever was.
"turn it up" is what we all said the first time we heard this. That's the incomparable John "Bonzo" Bonham on the drums and Robert Plant on the harmonica at the start...he is also the lead singer. And yep, his voice is second to none. Jimmy Page on guitar and John Paul Jones on bass guitar. They are all masters of their craft. Try "Whole Lotta Love" next. You'll get a great sample of Jimmy Page's guitar work. By the way, there are no bad Zep song.
They run the harmonica through a reverse soundboard, that's why it's so haunting.
This is one of my favorites of their's. From the very start of the song. Yes I know it's a cover. But they made it their own. And props to the writers and composer's of this song.
The one cool thing about being older is we got to hear these bands when their albums first came out AND got to see them live. Love his reaction to this great Zep song. Cheers.

And also, think about this. This band is just 4 guys, and one just sings and he is the Harmonica player you are listening to, not a guitar part. So all these great music came from 3 people, the guitar player, Jimmy Page, The bass player, John Paul Jones, and the Drummer, John Bonham.
Bonzo held the sticks back to front on many tracks. This is one. He put a lot of energy into the strike. I saw an interview years ago from his roadcrew, I think, saying that he seemed to play 'through' the drums, that he was 'aiming' for a point below/behind where the skin was! Needless to say, the drum tech earned his pay replacing the worn out skins. Regularly.

In addition, this song demonstrates Jimmy Page’s genius at arrangement, composition and production. Jimmy did it all as well as anyone in rock history!
I saw Led Zeppelin twice in concert - once in 1969 and once in 1970. They are electrifying in person. The sound in this song is from a harmonica.

John Bonham’s drums were recorded in at the bottom of a three-story stairwell. That was Robert Plant, vocalist playing harmonica. I LOVE watching your reaction to the soundtrack of my life.
That's a very young Robert Plant blowing on that harmonica........ such a HAUNTING rendition of this song. No band has a right to be this talented! The drummer, John Bonham was a beast, arguably one of the best of all time. The band broke up upon his death as he was simply irreplaceable. Jump down this rabbit hole and into the world of one of the most iconic rock bands you will ever hear. I view them as a rock band with an unmistakable overtone of blues. Great reaction, TY.
What a wonderful review. To watch someone who has never heard Zeppelin and are a bigger fan of a different genre of music discover how incredible they are, gives me joy. Yes that is an actual Harmonica, brilliantly played by Robert Plant (the lead vocal). As far as the power of the drumming, the majority of drummers could only dream of reaching the level of Bonham and I think most lovers of Rock would agree. I've been listening to this song for decades and the musicianship has always taken my minds eye to an old "Big Boy" steam locomotive slowly pulling away from that station and slowly picking up speed, slowing down around the curves and picking up speed........ with John Bonham being the engineer. Like you, I tend to get lost in the musicianship of this song and forget there are even lyrics. One thing for certain, when listening to this, I never fail to be sitting on that train and absolutely loving the ride!!! To allow someone to be taken out of their own head, through music, is a powerful gift!!
Led Zepp is before my time, but TSRTS sent me down a rabbit hole years ago and I’ve never recovered. Enjoy the ride. BTW, love your reactions.
The original version of this song was written and performed by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe in 1929, and it was about the 1927 floods on the Mississippi River delta caused by an unnamed hurricane (back before they gave names to the storms).
Please take a listen to the studio version of "Since I've Been Loving You". They all show up for that one as well.
Your life will be better now that you have discovered Led Zeppelin.

"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. So the original is coming close to be a 100 years old. Zeppelin rewrote the rule book when it came to their interpretation of the original blues tracks.
First time reactions are my Crack.

I’ve heard it a million times, love it every time, of course I know the origins, the history, the meaning, the lyrics, etc., but the way you broke it down, lyric by lyric was amazing and I come away with a different point of view (Johnny Cash). Enjoy your journey into probably the greatest rock band ever, and I’ll keep watching.

That’s my favorite song. I’m so happy that you reacted to it and felt the power and emotions of it. It was an actual harmonica being played. I also agree with you that the drums were the star of the show.
This style of drumming is called getting in the pocket of the groove, sometimes referred to as "pocket" or "filthy pocket". Works great with the blues, and Bonham does it great here.
Don't forget the driving bass line that compliments all the other instruments and pulls the song together.

This song gives me goosebumps beginning to end, no matter how many times I listen to it. Thank God for LZ! 🙂
That sound is a harmonica treated with a mass of delay and given an overdriven sound to get it gritty. Played by the superb lead singer Robert Plant. Multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones is on bass guitar. Jimmy Page is on slide guitar. The drums have become iconic, much imitated and sampled. The massive sound is due to the powerhouse backbeat of the late John Bonham, and the unique environment of the hallway and stairwell of a stately house. The producer experimented with using just two ribbon mics placed on the first landing of the stairway, and ran it through a Binson Echorec to create a slap-back echo , added to the natural ambience it created a single repeat beat. It was the first time producer Andy Johns had got no complaints about his drum sound from Bonham.
Btw I think I'm safe to say that it absolutely does Not matter if you don't "get" the meaning of the lyrics. You can listen to it as many times as you like if you want to " understand " it. It's about the vibe. ❤✌ I think most of us didn't get too deep into the meaning at first. The meaning of it was and is the feeling of it
When I was a kid we called it "Swamp Stomp Music" from the Bayou country in Louisiana. CCR is another band you would enjoy with that sound. Ludwig has a special Bonham edition of a drum set. You can check out the size of the Toms and Bass.

The drums set a perfect atmosphere of this driving force that's coming; And there's absolutely no stopping it.
The swag of Bonham here is epic. Complete confidence with such a simple intro beat. He's like saying "I'm the best rock drummer right now." And he was.
One of the best first reactions to this I've seen. Mostly because you noticed how awesome the drums were. lol John Bonham was the perfect match for this band and as you head into the Zeppelin rabbit hole, you'll see more and more what I mean. The rock that somehow melded it all together.
The instrument you hear is indeed a harmonica. If memory serves, it was recorded in a stairwell so cause extra echo on it. But that still wasn't enough, so they took the track of the harmonica and played it backwards through the song...which is why it has such a unique sound.
Born in 1960. My favorite all time band. Got to see them live twice. More LED please. Ty. Subscribed. MARK (Middle).
