Yeah you can't go wrong wandering through the Zep catalogue in order. What you will find is their immense versatility. Rock, folk, funk, jazz, reggae, country, blues, celtic, medieval, rockabilly, samba, Indian, eastern. There's no other example of a band who covered this much ground over eight studio records in just over a decade. That's why they were the best. They did it all and did it well.

i mean black sabbath ran through a lot of genres ; some genres weren’t even a thing at that time. the cherry on top BS didn’t do nearly has much stealing as led did. both groups were friends but the birmingham boys are top

People would pay 2,000-3,000 a ticket, me included, today to see prime Led Zep live in concert.

Bonham and Plant were 20 years old here, Jones was 22, Jimmy the "old man" at 24.

Not radio friendly, thats what makes it great.

Would hate how bands would tailor there music for radio play but I understand you have to make a few $$ also

Zeppelin reinvented the Blues....I'm 75 and still listen to these guys almost every day even if it's only a couple tunes.

It was no accident their music came together so fast. Page and Jones were both two of the top studio sessions musicians in England, both started working careers in their mid teens and were true savants, They literally played on dozens of hit records for many famous bands, So not only were they top musicians but they also knew nearly everything there was to know about recording music as soon as the band started. Page wanted out of the studio and joined the Yardbirds and when that band broke up he put Led Zeppelin together and the four of them created the best band that ever existed.

JPJ has said that at their first rehearsal he said out loud: "Oh fuck". It was that obvious.

😮wow its 1968 and your dropping the needle on this album for the very first time ….game changer !!!!!

Jimmy is making that guitar sing the band are outstanding

You guys being musicians yourselves are able to fully appreciate all the little nuances that made Zeppelin great.

I vote for going in order so you can experience their progression over the years and hear them the same way we did.

The GREATEST debut album, EVER.

Just realized you guys are going track by track through each album. Zep definitely deserving of that honor. Can't wait to see the rest!

The first band that made us bang our head!

How can you possibly go wrong with Zep. No band that came after them was not influenced by them. Great listen to the whole album. You are awesome. The best is yet to come. ✌️🔥

One of my favorite songs from their debut album. Thanks for another great reaction. I'd vote for reacting to their 2nd album next. A lot of people think it's even better than the 1st, and many in the music industry "critics" arena say it is one of the most influential albums "of all time". Also, by going in album order, you'll experience Zeppelin's progression and evolution as a band. Great stuff! :) After The Yardbirds disbanded in July of 1968, Page began looking to form a new band. He already knew Jones, met Plant and Bonham in August, and they had their first rehearsal as a band on August 19, the day before Plant's 20th birthday. If you can believe it, they actually went on tour September 7, then started recording their debut album immediately upon their return to the UK on the September 25. They recorded it in 36 hours over a 3-week period. Yeah, they were that good and that in sync. Lucky us! :)

They recorded this album in one session. they took all 12 hours of their studio rental but appeared with this mast piece.

Fusion without confusion.

“I am the hunter”, is a blues song on itself: check “the hunter”, from “ the free” album: tons of sobs. Paul Rodgers is one of these other great legendary British Blues singers, like Rory Gallagher and Alvin Lee After Freddy passed away he actually sang with queen.

The greatest recorded wail in human history! Plant could never even repeat it!

I bumped into the vocalist Robert Plant 🪴 of Led Zeppelin back in February of 2016! he was shopping 🛍 in Kidderminster of all places! I briefly chatted with him and shook his 👋. - C '23

I love the way you guys get it about Led Zep. They wowed me at age 9 when I was just starting to really pay attention to music and that was late 60s early 70s. I’m almost 61 now and they still wow me. Those were four geniuses, legends, rock gods! They still rock my world! Best band of the 70’s

Sonically that first album just sounded better than other rock records back then. Great engineering, production, to go along w/ all the great songs and playing. It was a killer.

Yes, having listened to this era in music for half a century now, I have a good grasp of what the sound quality was ordinarily like and this album just sounds 'crisper' than most others back then. Hard to describe. It's very high quality, probably as good as was technologically possible back in the late '60s.

You can hear the crispness on Abbey Road as well . Must be tech development catching up

Enjoy your experience, your on a beautiful journey with the greatest band ever. Just something to consider, this band came on to the scene in 1969 I was 8 years old then 😂😂😂 it was music that no one had ever heard before and it was considered dark kinda of music but you were mesmerized by the sounds 😮😮 even today, incredible.

I was ten years old when I bought this album in 1970; changed my life.

One of my all time favourite songs from this band . Page said that it was almost “ telepathic “ how they played together . You simply can’t bottle this .. All the layers of guitar .. magnificent!

You’re right, that was Jimmy whipping out his bow again. It gives it that eerie sensation, like something big is about to happen, and it sure does. One of my favorites off this album. Definitely do Zeppelin II, III, IV, Houses, Physical, Presence, In, Coda, live stuff… then you can take a break ;)

My favorite song of this album. Such a banger

John Bonham(Led Zeppelin), Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)and Vinny Appice (Dio, etc.) were the reason I started drumming, as a kid, and have never stopped. Bonzo was a monster on the kit!! 💪🏼💪🏼

This band is the GOAT of bands. They were so close that unfortunately when John died...that was the end. They didn't want to get another drummer. It all ended in 1980.

Always amazing! Yes they were together a few weeks!!

Dang I just heard Jeff Beck’s “Bolero” in the guitar solo. I wonder which came first. Jimmy and Jeff did play in the Yardbirds together.

"Well, they call me, the hunter! That's my name. Call me the hunter, That's how I got my fame... Ain't no place to hide, Ain't no place to hide! 'Cause I got you in the sights of my... GUN!!! "

You got the right!

You have to listen to this album over for years and you will get anew sound to love.

YES - *Please* do the next album and *ALL* the rest - it shouldn't even really be a question. Some may tell you the later albums aren't worth it, but I assure you, they are. Besides, how will you know their worth if you don't hear it and decide for yourself? Here's a bit of timeline to help you; the band had their first rehearsal on August 12, 1968. The first album was released January 1969 in the US and in March in the UK. It was recorded in about 30-36 hours and was paid for by Jimmy Page and was said to cost 1,782 GBP in 1968 which is approximately 36,526 GBP today, or approximately $44,466 USD today. Jimmy produced the album and the band created a company called Superhype to handle the publishing rights. They were signed to Atlantic in November 1968 and given an advance of $143,000 USD (that would be worth over 1 million today). This was an unprecedented sum for an unknown band. As part of their deal, they kept creative control of everything such as tracks, track listing, album artwork and name (or lack thereof), production, etc. Creative control was another unusual thing Zep had going for them. From his time as a session musician and in his time with The Yardbirds, Jimmy had seen many bands get taken advantage of and did his best to ensure something similar wouldn't happen to his band. Some of the musical influences for the group include rock and roll, rockabilly, Motown, blues, R&B, folk, Celtic, jazz, classical, Indian, and North African music, in addition to others. Their music is guaranteed to provide a unique, dynamic experience.

Saw them live in 1973. I was 17 still in awe to this day of their incredible talent. No other band comes close.

Do it. Go in order. You definitely won't be disappointed

This album is known to cause Multiple Eargasms!! All Hail thee KINGS of ROCK 4 EVER!!!

Back in high school and college - especially for finals week - i used to start with Led Zeppelin play all 8 albums in order… then repeat. Made studying fun. When ever i heard Good Times Bad Times it was time to go again!

Killer track.

"How Many More Times" is based on lyrics from blues singer Albert King's song "The Hunter," and much of the song was derived from Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Years." Some other Led Zeppelin reworkings of blues songs include "You Shook Me" and "The Lemon Song." Everyone in the band except Robert Plant got writing credits for this even though Plant was known for re-arranging standard blues songs with his previous band Hobbstweedle.

I got a real treat for you listen to all the original artists of the blues songs with zeppelin versions

Blessed to have seen them live five times. My obsession in my teens.

Great album, great review. You do such a better job than many other channels because you actually can pick apart things and you have a true appreciation for the music. I was 16 when this came out and it was up there with me. Transitioned me from psychedelia to hard rock and paved the way for my taste for punk rock. A break through album at the time.

and that is how you finish off a debut album!

It is incredible how great every single song is on the album... It starts off with the bar set so high, and then just crushes it straight through... As you go forward, II, III, IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti... they cover so much ground, Houses of the Holy in particular, they essentially become a whole different band, but somehow keep the bar at that crazy high level... PG is so wild, but also great... basically, There isn't a single weak track until their 7th album (6 is a double album), and even in the 7th album, it's still good...

FIRE!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The critics hated this album, destroyed it with words, they wanted LZ in the discount rack. But it slowly got exposed and the people loved it, and here we are 50 years later still loving their sounds. Then they released LZ 2 the very same year !!!

Great job guys. Keep it going. These guys are unmatched.

This is what you call the perfect album, there is not one bad song. Some records are perfect side B. This had both. when they all jammed at the first time. they all knew they would be bigtime. Peter Grant Zepplin's manager made damn sure that wherever they toured Zeppelin would get 90 percent profit, if not, you won't have Zeppelin play in their arena. It helped for Grant being 6ft5 and huge, no one messed with him lol. The studio tricks were a huge influence of Les Paul the man, the creation of the Les Paul guitar, the innovator, he also knew how to multitrack and where to put the mics. That's where you get the big sound. Jimmy Page studied how to record long before Led Zep while he was one of the top session guitarists out there.

Peter Grant changed the game for ALL bands. It used to be the reverse, where the promoters used to get 90% because they had control over the venues/concert halls/arenas. Peter Grant was also a bouncer, boxed, and was a professional wrestler in the U.K. in a time when all pro wrestlers used to know how to "shoot," meaning legit submission wrestlers and knew how to fight in "the clinch" when locking up on the ground. And yes, his size was also a factor.

I was 17 when this album came out. It was a complete departure from music that had preceded it and as a young man close to the height of testosterone blood concentration, it REALLY hit home. All the Blues wailing about women! Anyway, the first time I heard the album, I just couldn't wrap my head around how good it was on a variety of levels. Musically, lyrically, the "mood" of the album, the musicianship, the vocals - everything about it. Now, at 70, it's entertaining to live vicariously through other people's first "hearing". Well done.

Helleva debut album and yes we all knew back then just how good this band was lol.
