It really does matter.....each track of theirs is different. They had a wide range of musical tastes, interests and styles. And frankly, some songs come off better than others. They say so themselves.

Led zeppelin they are the greatest masters of instruments know one. Can match them on planet earth good luck trying it's impossible they are the goats case dismissed

Drummer John Bonham is arguably considered one of the top two or three drummers in Rock history. Likewise Jimmy Page as lead guitar, and Robert Plant as lead singer. John Paul Jones (JPJ) is an unsung hero in the band. He is a musical genius in his own right, playing piano, keyboard, melatron, base guitar, and mandolin.

Studio version "Since I've been loving you" is the blues on FIRE

The thing that most people don't realize about Zeppelin, and John Bonham, was that they were the first to bring the drums up as a major part of the mix. Other bands wouldn't hire Bonham because he hit the drums so hard, but Jimmy Page embraced it and used it to create the greatest rock band ever assembled. There have been many imitators, but never a band that could equal the sound and originality of the Mighty Zep.

Drums and Bass are uber killing it on this track

The live performance of this song in 1979 is insane!

This song is MAMMOTH. 🏄‍♂️

Robert has said that he was in awe of the talent of the other three when they were doing this song, calling it magnificent. And it is. His vocals are not as strong but keep in mind he was singing from a wheelchair. The story goes that he was so excited that he got through the song that he stood up in exaltation and promptly fell down. Everyone was horror struck, thinking he might if rebroken his ankle. Thankfully, he was Ok. But that injury dies bother him at times to this day. .

This song is amazing live at Knebworth (1979), I hope you guys decide to give it a watch, they always give more in their live performances. Thanks for another great reaction from both of you, & keep going with Led Zeppelin, many more great songs. A nonstop banging songs.

Live at Knebworth 1979 of this song is mind blowing. Bonham is just unhinged. And Jimmy manages to cover multiple guitar layers. By that time, Jimmy was deep into addiction, but still had mastery over his instrument.

IMHO the greatest rock song ever. It can never be recreated live though which is why any live version doesn't come close to the studio version. It was not only a mastery of the guitar, bass and drums but a mastery of the recording studio as well. It is and always will be my favorite Zeppelin song.

@geob3963

@@alittlelooney5361 whenever I get a new pair of speakers or headphones, this is the first song I play.

This actually comes from the album "Presence" and has a combination of influences. It basically tells the story of trips Jimmy and Robert took to Morocco and other places. There's a bit of William Blake's poetry when he mentions Albion. "Albion" used to be a poetic way to describe Britain. The "mighty arms of Atlas" refer both to the mythology of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders, as well as the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. This song is intense. I consider it the last of their "Epics" along with Stairway and Kashmir. Jimmy had 6 guitar tracks and managed to assemble and complete the entire song in one night. The album as a whole was completed in 18 days; the fastest they'd worked since their debut album. The staccato drumming sounds like a machine gun and John Paul Jones' galloping bass line imply swift, anxious movement. Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart readily admit they stole the bass line for their song Barracuda. Robert tells a story about a time he had a friend over to visit and while they chatted, he had music playing. At one point, he stepped out of the room and shortly thereafter, his guest came looking for him and told him they didn't want to be in the room alone anymore because the music playing was too intense. Intrigued, Robert came back to the room and the song playing was Achilles. There were a lot of changes going on during the making of Presence; new musical genres like punk were threatening to overthrow bands like Zeppelin's relevance, Robert was rethinking the band dynamics and his place in it as well as his life's path in general. He didn't want to be away from his family during the accident's aftermath and was angry at both Peter and Jimmy and felt they were unsympathetic. Presence is massively underrated; it's very stripped down and is full of intensity, anxiety, anger, pain, - a lot of difficult emotions.

Hey Henrie, (Ron here) good to catch up with you once again. Couldn’t agree more with your summation of events and Robert’s feelings during this period. Have heard Robert give more clarity to this period than others. (Of course that could simply be my radar not working more frequently at other times) I remember buying this the day it was available and having to play this one over and over for my younger brother. Still his favorite all these yrs later. While lacking in popularity by some, I really loved this project and felt they still knew they had more to give. Be well, and best wishes to you and yours.

This song always makes me think of galloping horses careening forward with soldiers swinging swords. Relentless. Great vocals by Robert and copious amounts of guitar overdubs by page. Almost impossible to reproduce live. Cheers 🍺

This song might be Jimmy Page's crowning achievement. The entire band at their peak, obviously.

yup at the end they took it all the way back too the beggining, GENIUS!

This is such an underrated Zeppelin song. Really the precursor to bands like Iron Maiden and the like. Massive tune.

CAROL nailed it... We our in the presence of rock royalty and to conjure up the vision of Achilles in battle was an outstanding choice to put to music... As you will come to find out on your R&R journey the 70s decade was one of many diverse bands which has never been duplicated since...SO check yer spurs, hop in the saddle and giddyup a Ding Dong (insert your steed`s name)

Rock and Roll Live Video (Madison Square Garden 1973) Original Records. Led Zeppelin in concert.

They wind you up like spinning top and take you on a wild ride, but remember to unwind you before they go. Brilliant musicianship.

Exactly! This song is like a horse at full gallop.If I may say,you two are so cute together!

Another Masterpiece Courtesy of the Mighty Led Zeppelin! ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ironically Plant & his family’s car happened on vacation in Greece, his wife Maureen was driving. Pages daughter was with them, & Roberts son & daughter, thankfully the kids weren’t seriously injured. Maureen had a skull fracture & other injuries, & Robert his leg & other injuries. The band was on a deadline to get their album Presence done, & the whole album was recorded with Plant in a wheelchair. What was really sad, there was some issue with taxes, & they had to record the album in California. While both injured so badly, Robert wasn’t home with his family, like he wanted to be. Yes he was in a wheelchair for about a year, not knowing if he’d walk again. The song Tea For One off the same album, is a slow Blues song, about Robert missing his family & is great.

One of the best.

jimmy pulled an all nighter and laid down all 8 guitar tracks in 1 session!

This song is massively EPIC!! For anyone who takes for granted the power of a 4-piece Rock band, they need only listen to this song to get a righteous slap in the face. You guys, please watch/listen to the band called Rush and their song called "Xanadu", live from Montreal in 1981! If you want to hear/see another EPIC song, check that one out!!

I think this is their most underplayed / underrated track Another personal favourite is “the rover” that’s a hidden gem

Amazing guys, master piece of Led Zeppelin 🔥

You guys have to check this out live! 🤯

Musical Genius ❤

The bass was providing that galloping sound.

I think this one is about touring. "Oh to laugh aloud, and dance a lot above the crowd". They came to town a year after Presence came out and played for 3 1/2 hours. We'd seen them before but that night we were only 20 feet away at eye level. The goats.

This live 1979 at knebworth is FIRE!!! Kashmir at the 1979 knebworth concert was unbelievable too!!

The galloping sound while supported by the drums, chunk chunka chunk sound, is the bassist John Paul Jones

one of my favorite…🤘🏼🥰

Top 3 greatest Zep songs...Bonham just won't be denied❗️❗️❗️

The last truly epic song recorded by them. But one of their very best.

War and art ... Perfect

I vividly remember the British music press slagging this album off , consequently I didn’t but it for a year , until I heard this track by accident in virgin records Bristol

Now you have realised about john Bonham on the drums its the moment to do Moby Dick - the live performance at Earls court 1975 which is essentially a drum solo and vehicle for displaying his techniques . Once you've seen that you will be able to better pick out what he does in other tracks you come onto - masterclass in drumming. Love your reactions to this its so great to see people who really get this and are so enthusiastic. Don't worry you are not going to run out of amazing music and you haven't heard anything until you've done dazed and confused. That is really one you need to do the studio then the live otherwise you will never understand what is going on .

Very cute reactions to the solo guys.

The Zep song I really enjoy the most. It's prog. But it's Zep. Sublime, just love it. Ty both for reaction! Zepheads!

Galloping bass line , ghost note. Amazing tone. lml

John Bonham is an Absolute Beast on this!! One of their best songs!! IMO

Great music,good taste.

thanks for doing a great reaction...and for accepting my request...i agree with many comments below that live version of this song is absolutely amazing...watching John Bonham play drums is just as incredible as the sound they made thru his incredible talent...the drums on "Dazed and Confused" are also as impressive...i look forward to that reaction as well!! take care and thanks again...

Jimmy Page solo’s are like little stories. He picks you up tells you a story and then places you back down. The whole band is brilliant.

definitely one of JP's most unreal solos.

Zep have the most diverse and surprising catalogue of songs you could ever find. There’s no “ typical” Zep style, except that almost all of it is awesome. I know this because I am 70 years old and I bought Led Zepoelin 1 in April 1969 with my birthday money. I was lucky enough to see them live in stage 4 times. They are still regarded as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. There are too many songs to suggest to you guys but maybe “ Dazed and Confused”, from their very first album ( recorded in autumn 1968 ). Great reaction and thank you both. Stay safe stay happy stay you. Best wishes from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Whole Lotta Love Live Madison Square Garden 1973

So fun. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Your reaction to this was entertaining to watch. Thanks for this

nobody else could do this!!

You got to do this live at Knebworth 1979 AMAZING watching Jimmy trying to recreate the army of guitars on the studio version from just one guitar. Drumming incredible. Poetry

Please check out Kashmir, the live version by Page and Plant. The original version is an absolute classic and one of the best riffs of all time by Led Zeppelin, but the live version by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant showcases the the true intent of what they wanted the original Kashmir song to be, which incorporates many Middle Eastern sounds and highlights the culture. It's truly a masterpiece.

Great reaction to the goats of rock. I wore this album out a little more than all the rest. The goats of prog are a band called YES and a song called Roundabout off the Fragile album is a good first listen. Enjoy your YES journey ✨️🎶✨️

Also the galloping bassline and guitar works so well with Bonham's drumming in thos song 👌🥁

good reaction. Truly epic drum song. Also an amazing guitar orchestra song. At points, there are like 5-6 guitar tracks all going on, great writing and arranging. One of Page's gifts.

GOAT it’s a work of art, love your Zep reactions thank you 🙏

Of course you must do the live Knebworth 1979 performance. That’s a given. But for something completely different ( Zeppelin is famous for its diversity of material and range) I would suggest the studio versions of either Battle of Evetmore, or No Quarter. Could not be more different from Achilles. You could also go into their wonderful acoustic songs such as Going to California, Ten Years Gone, or the utterly sublime The Rain Song. So many more for you to discover ! 😁

The entire Presence album is special. You'll enjoy it!

One of my favorite songs. Should have done the live at Knebworth version

This is the favorite track of Jimmy Page who conceived it like a guitar symphony . Most of the magic came with the fact that every instrument play a different line .Though it appears straightforward at first hearinf it is really quite rich. Mind that the galoping effect is mostly due to the bass (and not to the guitar as in a regular metal or hard-rock piece) . There is a flamenco passage quite similar as the one one can hear on Child in Time (by Deep Purple), but in a different context so no-one seems to notice it.

According to LZ, one of there more difficult tracks to play live.

A drummer sprint is what i call this.

This song or possibly Carouselambra (yeah that song) are my favorite but it is hard to pick a favorite from that many great songs.

I would suggest the " Unledded" album They really highlight their whole careers on that .

Zeppelin rampage! 👍🇬🇧

Have you guys considered exploring Alanis Morissette, a Canadian and American singer, songwriter and musician? Her album "Jagged Little Pill" is an amazing work.

Probably the most "progressive rock" song Zep ever made... and an amazing classic. You two beautiful people are always fun to watch! By the way, the "Presence" LP for which this song was recorded was a more Plant-heavy LP because, at that point in LZ's journey, both Jimmy Page and John Bonham were so heavy into drugs and alcohol that it was hard to get them to be as productive in the non-touring stages to be as creative as they had been in the past, so Plant and JPJ took more of the reins on this LP. AND YOU CAN TELL because it's very much different than earlier Zep LPs (but, in my opinion, just as good but different).

Actually, partially true, but this album still has heavy guitar work and drum work. Where you truly see that shift is in their next, and final studio album, In Through The Out Door, which is heavily keyboard based Robert and JPJ did most of the studio work on it.

You can write a poem which is the choice of words. If you add the music, it lends to emphasis of emotion. It is then the full story.
