Bonzo The Beast! "I Can't Quit You Baby" was written by Chicago Blues great Willie Dixon and was first recorded by Otis Rush in 1956. Led Zeppelin turned up the volume on the song past eleven and dropped it as the second to last track on their debut album, right before "How Many More Times" -- another souped up blues rock banger.

Been listening to these albums since i was a kid. My Dad had them all on vinyl. Nothing like Led Zepplin on Earth

This is a cover. It was written by the great Willie Dixon. Led Zeppelin did a lot of blues early on and throughout their career. The great "Whole Lotta Love" is a Dixon song too. Of course, Zep added their own style to these songs and their incredible musicianship and power. Classics.

The live performance of this from Royal Albert Hall in 1970 is incredible. Probably my fav live performance of theirs.

I'm almost 23 and they're my favorite band. Classic rock doesnt get as much recognition as it should among my generation in my opinion, it's what brought along all the other rock bands people love now a days. Led Zeppelin started a whole new thing I think and their music is just unbeatable and incomparable. I grew up listening to all kinds of music, mostly heavy bands like metal and "screamo" bands in general that go sO HARD but nothing beats the greatness of Led Zeppelin due to the fact they were way before anything else and the genius of their music cannot be replicated in my opinion. They are something so amazing, so magical and enchanting, something that is absolutely addicting and just oozes pure talent and greatness. I would give anything to be my age in the 70s, that was a time to be alive.

Guys, Blues sprinkled with a little Jazz shuffle drumming.....

There never was, nor will there ever be another Led Zeppelin!!🎶🎸🎵 Masters of their craft...all 4 of them!!🎶 Robert Plants voice can never be replicated!!🎶 If y'all want to see Bonham really get it, watch Moby Dick at one of their live performances!!🥁🎶

Zeppelin has been criticized by some for copying the blues... It's not fair. Of course they covered songs and were heavily influenced -- but when you listen to them, it's all love, all respect. Their music is a tribute to the blues. These guys grew up listening to every blues record they could get their hands on, and to be fair, they didn't just make a cheap carbon copy -- they took the blues, and then did it as well or better than anyone, and then took it to their own level.

Yes it is all love and respect for the Blues and Folk music, the problem is they never gave credit to the original creators such as Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, etc. When this was starting to surface I heard in an interview Robert Plant admitted at the time they thought they could get away with it.

Zeppelin set up a funding for all old blues musicians

This song was written by the great Willie Dixon. It's one of the many old blues tunes that Robert and Jimmy rearranged and reworked.

An album of music in every track.

Nice reaction, thanks. I highly recommend that you watch their 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance of this song if/when you have the time. Absolute 🔥. Actually, the entire concert was incredible. Edit: This song was originally written by Willie Dixon. He recorded and released it in 1956.

I was 22 and a senior in college when Led Zeppelin released their first album. My friends and I had been listening to the heaviest music available at that time - Hendrix, Cream, the Yardbirds, The Who, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Stones, etc. I heard Dazed and Confused on FM radio late one night and was totally blown away by it. I bought the album the next day and we listened to it over and over and over and couldn't get enough of it. We had never heard anything like it. LZ took rock/blues to another level that's never been equaled.

This is a reworking of the song written by Willie Dixon for Otis Rush, who had been having some relationship problems. Believe it or not, not all of Zep's songs are about women. They were, however, following the usual blues theme of the "good man" being led to his doom by an "evil woman", especially on this first album until they got a little more experience and started changing things around. Another great blues song with an in-your-face them of good man/bad woman is the song Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers Band.

These last two songs on the album are my favorites. The whole album is phenomenal, but these two songs stick out to me.

They loved those Delta Blues.

This song is Burlesque! And beautiful.

Great reaction guys they really are all amazing aren't they.

50 years since hearing this for the first time and it still sounds incredible!

"I Can't Quit You Baby" is blues song written by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Chicago blues artist Otis Rush in 1956

that kick is a SINGLE kick! hes doing all that with his right foot!

I got turned on to the blues from my older brothers listening to the British Invasion bands playing the blues. I was 13. Then I learned I was living 120 miles South of blues Mecca in Chicago. I've been a blues fan every since. These bands brought the blues back and really helped the American blues music scene. American blues performers might fill a club in Chicago but in Europe they could fill stadiums.

I love your reactions! You hear all the details.

best band ever!

There is a great YT post of an interview with Robert Plant about the night LZ met Elvis. You gotta watch it. He specifically talks about the influence from Elvis and the delta blues.

They're very influenced by the blues down in the delta Mississippi all those bands back then that's where they get this kind of stuff from and they like to mix it up they could do one song and sound like just three songs in one they switch so quick it's phenomenal the first time I saw them was 1970 Fillmore East New York

“The blues done had a baby and they called it rock and roll” - Muddy Waters

Love these reviews! I was in middle school in the early 70's and would lie on my bed with headphones on just getting lost in their music!

Just one bass drum gentleman. Just one.

The way you described Zeppelin as a band singing about women as the theme in their songs Is 1000% right. The stories about groupies and the band are legendary especially the Shark incident where some of the guys stuffed a groupie with pieces of a shark at their hotel.

Led Zeppelin the most badass hard rocking blues band ever

The blues came from south USA, New Orleans. Many artist from UK highly respected the Blues. Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn a few rockers that love the Blues.

Listened to Led Zeppelin a-lot growing up and enjoyed growing up listening to it ! Any song doesn’t matter thre as good!!

The Zeppelin tapestry has many beautiful colors. As you've probably surmised, their #1 goal when they began was to lean heavily into their various blues influences, including, obviously, Willie Dixon. You like the drums on here, you'll like them on "When The Levee Breaks." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Levee_Breaks

Led Zeppelin and Clapton got me into the blues.

You think Bonzo's drumming is crazy here, wait until you hear "In My Time of Dying." Many of their lyrics are taken from old blues classics btw.

Come back around to this everytime.... Just elite feel and soul

We all love the blues.

Those guys were all part of the British Blues explosion of the early sixties. They all went through bands like the Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Tony McPhee and the Groundhogs , the Yardbirds, Eric Burden and others were all part of that early British Blues scene.

I enjoyed your reaction video to Led Zeppelin. In your video you asked about the English and how popular American blues was with them. I thought I'd give you a little history. In1964 sister Rosetta Thorpe and a number of other gospel and blues performers did a tour of England. The British tour with the American Folk, Blues, and Gospel Caravan organized by U.S. promoter George Wein. The lineup includes Muddy Waters, Chess pianist Otis Spann, and the duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Blues and Gospel Train, a specially produced show based on the caravan, appears on British TV. That same year, Rosetta appears at the Newport Jazz Festival, on a program that reunites her with Count Basie. This sound was completely new to the British rock and roll fans and Ignited a revival among many of the rock 'n' roll musicians and fans. Check out Sister Rosetta Thorpe English concerts on KZread for an example.

Another great tune by the late, great Willie Dixon. An amazing fact is that they only used about 36 hours of studio time to record this first album over a few weeks time while jamming a few gigs to smooth out the material.

It was written by Willie Dixon back in the 50's. I saw LZ three times over the years, fantastic band.

This song as well as a lot of great blues songs, was written by the great Willie Dixon, blues bassist and Chess Records studio bassist on many recordings. Zep actually got sued for not giving credit and royalties for recording other artists songs.

Zeppelin turned us on!!!!❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

Plant and Page especially had women in their droves chasing them. Legendary "Golden God" frontman and guitar God swag.

All of those British bands *LOVED BLACK MUSIC!* They marinated on our rock & roll, blues, jazz, country, and gospel, made it their own and created something new! But as a black guy who is 62 and grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s the odd thing was black folks (supposedly) didn’t like rock ore weren’t *supposed* to like rock and considered it ‘headache music’ lol! But I was like, I don’t care what y’all say, this stuff is *FIRE!!* It wasn’t until later that I learned that they got their inspiration from *US* and that made it all the more sweeter. So it is really ‘full circle’ :) … btw way, i like how you said ‘learnt’ which is British lol!

Led Zep 1 = Guitar solos + Fire brand fills + cutting loose + if it ain't tight it ain't right = Already at Mach 1 upon debut.

This album is incredibly arranged - it’s like a film.

They created their own blues... 💃

Saw them live in Seattle in 1975. Good times.

It was Zeppelin with the chronic throughout the '70s. Wish I'd never left.

This song was originally done by Otis Rush in 1956. It was written by Willie Dixon. Much like The Rolling Stones in the early 196o's, Led Zeppelin took the blues and "Rocked it Up"

If you guys had this vinyl I know you guys would would wear it out and then get another one!✌️

11:00 - Yeah man, it was real Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. Some of their stories w/ groupies are legendary. JPJ once after a gig, fell asleep w/ a groupie and a half smoked, lit joint and started a fire in their the hotel room, lucky they woke up early on and no one got hurt.

Zeppelin and Pink Floyd got lots of inspiration from old time southern black musicians! Look up the information on Google and it will tell you more than I can! Great reactions guys, thank you! Praise Jesus!

Early Zeppelin Robert Plant was using Blues lyrics written by old southern blues artists. This is a Willie Dixon song, but the band brought the music to another level. The amazing part of Bonham is that he only used a single bass drum pedal.

Bonzo's fills are incredible, but whats even more impressive is how he accents behind Jimmy's soloing. That is something that only happens after playing together for a while.

It was pointed out to me once, by someone in the know on a video i watched, that, while most drummers attach themselves to the bass player, as part of the rhythm section...Bonzo actually was attached to Jimmy on guitar....if you listen, you can hear what he was talking about!

All 4 where great in their own right. But jimmy recruited them all. It was his idea to form this band. He produced the albums. And on some of the live performances, you can see that they are following him, not exactly knowing where his wild, improvised solo was going to go. I love all of them, and think each is the best at what they do. But your right, its jimmys band!
