Black Dog my favorite but I always go back to this one.

I’m still waiting to see you guys react to Zeppelin’s biggest influence - Robert Johnson.

I forgot about this one ...every song of theirs is just fantastic

This is one of those songs that you loudly sing while driving.

One of my all-time favorite Led Zep songs. It didn't get a lot of airplay in the 1970: The topic was just too sensitive.

LZ played the blues in almost every song they wrote, just in different styles from around the world - Fool in the Rain is a shuffle beat, The Crunge is an homage to James Brown's funk, Dazed and Confused is a waltz macabre, Kashmir uses Islamic tonalities, Ramble On references Lord of the Rings, Friends has a decided Hindi sound -- and they played with time signatures all the time, really a most creative rock band

I could be in the car listening casually to the radio and when a Led Zeppelin song comes on..I just focus and get my ears to listen. Most talented musicians

My personal favorite track from them.

The shade in Asia's eyes at 2:07 - you two are great!

@@kenttaylor9238 Perhaps you were a little young to remember. But I remember hearing it when I first started listening to rock stations in 1976. I asked my older sisters who it was and without hesitation they said Led Zeppelin. They didn't have any Zep albums nor did their girlfriends (they were all about Chicago, ELO, America, Bread, and Carpenters), but said they loved the song, as much as Stairway (which they also knew from the radio). So they must've been hearing it on the rock stations for the few years prior to that. Then from '76 'til '82 when you first heard it, I remember hearing it frequently and IDing the band for many of my friends who were collecting all the Zep albums, but didn't know it was them because it wasn't on any of the LPs. I actually won quite a few bets on the question. Lol

For another terrific blues song you folks should definitely check out Led Zeppelin's cover of Robert Johnson's classic Traveling Riverside Blues...the remastered version from the BBC sessions is probably best version, I guess. ✌✌💯💯

One of my favorites among many of their jamms! Hitting on all cylinders! Greatness 💯💯👍😎

Way back in the mid-80s, you couldn't just play this song unless you were one of the lucky few to have a copy. I knew someone who did, and he put it onto a tape for me; it was awwwwwesome. Then, the boxed set came out, and this song was crystal clear and available for the first time. It was hands down my favorite Zeppelin song for the longest time.

There will never be another zeppelin . One of a kind

They are the GOAT!

My favorite of all Zeppelin songs…

Yes!! Been requesting this for awhile.. I won't give up on the other 2 Led Zeppelin songs... "Gallows Pole" and "Braun-Y-R-Stomp" such fun songs!!

11.27.22. Check out (TYA)🎸 Ten Years After’s Version of Good morning little school girl…… The video from Cologne, Germany, 1969. Then you’ll have a pretty good idea what the term Ball means❗️🫵🏼

I had to watch this again for BJ. God bless my boy was feeling this.

Ball means something else in this context. Something else..... ok?

I have A LOT of favorite Zeppelin songs, but this is definitely one of them... 🤙😎🎱🎱

Thanks for doing my favorite Zepplin song, Note this song is not on any LP only 45 RPM B-side of Immigrant song.

Greatest band to grace the planet!

I just started watching your videos and they're pretty addicting. It's very interesting to see reactions from people that have never heard some of my favorite music before. You should really check out two of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, I Can't Quit You and Fool In The Rain. Two totally different styles but both are fantastic.

She ain't crying

*I will just say the same thing over and over...like a broken record...you may as well just react to all 108 of the Zeppelin songs because nearly all of them are great.

That's a bigtime exaggeration. They're my favorite band but even I wouldn't say that "nearly every song in their catalog is great". A more realistic breakdown would be: *Masterpiece = 10%* *Great = 20%* *Very Good = 30%* *Good = 20%* *Fair = 17%* *Poor = 3%* This is still mighty impressive. Nearly every band in history would kill for this kind of quality distribution in their catalogs.

@@Cosmo-Kramer OK, perhaps "great" is relative, and good would better suit a description of each song in their collection as a whole. By me saying "nearly all of them are great" I was referring to the desire to skip a song or not. And there weren't many I would think..."Next!" For me, back then, there were only a couple of handfuls of songs I wasn't crazy about. But that still puts the number of "good" songs by them, for me, in the 90's of their 108.

"Balling" as a reference for having sex used to be somewhat of a popular term back in the day but I think it had more prevalent usage in England so for the band, they probably assumed it was a common term in the US (which it sort of was back in the day).

EVERY Zeppelin song is that great check out Celebration day LIVE the entire concert I dare you to do a reaction it all.

I love this song!!! I sing it all the time at Karoake. Our bunch just rolls laughing, more at my dancing than my singing.

Great reaction as always! This is one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Please react to Traveling Riverside Blues by Zeppelin. It's another great tune of theirs that didn't appear on an album.

Going to California is also a banger

Asia rocks!

I'm still upset that they didn't include this song on Led Zeppelin III, it would have made the (vinyl) album even more incredible that it already was. I remember the radio station was the only way to hear it (no one could find the 45 single with Immigrant Song on the A side) so I had to tape it onto a blank cassette off my tuner

Calling your local classic rock radio station to request this song because it was the only way you could here here legendary song.

Always thought ball was in reference to having relations!

I think it is "Ball" as in Ballroom , dance , party. Cinderella goes to the Ball.

In those days the word "ball" didn't always mean cry, it also meant to have sex which I think is what Plant meant. If she's a street corner girl who wants to ball all day like he said that could be very expensive. 😛

Asia & BJ, you'll love their “Black Dog”, “Heartbreaker”/"Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" and “D’yer Mak’er”!!!

Ball was an english expression for party.

Just think of this song as T-pains “I fell in love with a stripper” 1970s rock version. lol as to her being “the wrong girl for him”… hey, it happens 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

Ball can also mean party
