    Most reactors create one video for each song, but this channel is the only one I know so far that react to the album as a package. This is not only. unique, but also align with what Led Zeppelin wished. If not mistaken, they were never happy to release the song as singles and were only forced to because of the recording label. They said that the songs were intended to be experienced as an album.

    I applaud you for , when you pause, you GO BACK five or so seconds when you re-start the song. You might be surprised at how many reactors DON'T do that! It's a loss for them, because they often miss out on a great bridge or transition or interrupt the flow of the song that , if they had gone back five seconds, they would not have lost. It's annoying for those of us watching (me., at least, lol!) because we know they just missed a really cool part or whatever. Glad you do it, and love your reactions in general!

    @@markhill9275 I will say that a confluence of events took place that made that area of Britain a hotbed of musical creativity. The area was urban, so there was close proximity to other musicans. But, those musicians all grew up being influenced by American early rock (taboo). It was exciting and anything taboo, often becomes a teenage rebel obsession. Page, Clapton, Beck, Richards, Townsend, among several others, weren't exactly rich, so they spent hours in record shops trading albums, and as they learned the guitar, they traded riffs, but they also became RIVALS, and male competition took over. That was in the water.

    Black Dog's riff was created by bassist John Paul Jones. The entire song is rough and raw. Rock and Roll took a bit of inspiration from Little Richard's song "Keep A' Knockin'". Bonzo was having difficulty getting the drumming right for their song called Four Sticks, so, in exasperation, he started beating out what would become this song. The lyrics are full of late 50s song references and the boogie woogie style piano is played by former Rolling Stones band member Ian Stewart. Battle of Evermore has Sandy Denny (RIP) from the group Fairport Convention sing with Robert. Jimmy played a mandolin while John Paul Jones played a 12-string guitar, I believe. It's a wonderful, ethereal sounding song full of fantasy and lore. Stairway is a masterpiece. It crystalized what the band was at that point; it had slow/fast, hard/soft, drama, musicality, mystical elements. It pours out emotion and the listener feels wrung out, dazed, in awe. This is a masterful album

    I was 12 when I first heard this album. I hadn't heard any Zeppelin prior to that. My exposure to "Pop Music" consisted of "The Monkeys" and "Partridge Family" Up to that point. I was with my parents and visiting some friends of theirs in Boulder Colorado. They had a daughter who was about 15 and she played me this album... I was actually frightened by it to some extent. It had such an "otherworldly" quality to it that I can't adequately describe. By the time I was 15 I was a massive fan. Bought "Houses of the Holy" and "Physical Graffiti" the days that they came out.

    The beginning of "Stairway..." those are recorders being played (multitracked) by John Paul Jones, the bass player. JPJ also played the mandolin on Battle of Evermore and keys on Rock and Roll. He was a very talented multi-instrumentalist. There are few things as lovely as your smile.

    Helene here. YES! There IS “something” about Robert’s voice. It’s damn sexy, for one thing. 😁. And the power…..and even now, at 74, when he no longer has that range and power, his voice is still so expressive, tender and lively. Saw him in August with Alison Krauss…..they are great together. But yeah, young Plant’s voice was otherworldly. There are “better” voices in rock….but none with that charisma (except Freddie Mercury).

    Allison Krauss is an underrated musician. Don't get me wrong. Anyone who knows country, blue grass, or the like, knows Allison Krauss. But in plenty of music circles she's not well known, and that's a shame. She's one of the only people I'd actually describe as having the voice of an angel. Everyone who loved the acapella version of Down to the River to Pray from O' Brother, Where Art Thou loves Allison Krauss's voice, they just might not have known it. But yeah, her and Robert Plant together are magical.

    @@helenespaulding7562 oh I agree. I don't think someone having a nice voice makes that voice 'angelic' in any way. But Alison Krauss is one of the few female singers who naturally sings in a very high register, that I still find soothing. I have some slight nerve damage, and high pitched voices often grate on my ears. For whatever reason though, that's never been the case with Alison Krauss. Some quality of her voice is still soothing to me despite the high notes she's hitting.

    Miss Verdy, Jimmy Page did ALL that guitar 🎸 work, Lead & Rhythm simultaneously. He was a master at overdubbing due to the fact they didn’t have a rhythm guitarist nor really need one. Jimmy handled both efficiently with the skills learned as one of England’s most sought after session guitarists.

    "The Battle of Evermore" is a folk duet sung by Robert Plant and Sandy Denny, featured on Led Zeppelin's untitled 1971 album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV. The song's instrumentation features acoustic guitar and mandolin playing, while the lyrics allude to J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings.

I was a musically aware child of the early/mid 1970's through the mid 1980's and it's wonderful that you appreciate this incredible music/musicianship that was a huge part of my life growing up in America during those times. Keep it up darling! There's so much more to explore such as Southern Rock (Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Sknyryd, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special, and the Outlaws etc.) and progressive rock such as Yes, Rush (my personal fave), and Kansas to the Godfather's of metal Black Sabbath with a shout out to neo-classical Deep Purple. Check them out. They were ground-breakers back in the day with real musicianship.
