This song simply shows why Bonham was the greatest rock drummer. Nobody could fill or change the beat on the fly like he could.

How? The vocals are in a lower pitch and the tempo is slower. It has barely half the amount of energy as the original. Most underwhelming live performance of all time.

When someone asks me why they're my all-time favorite group, this is what I tell them. These guys were only Led Zeppelin for 12 years! Their catalog isn't a rabbit hole it's a whole tunnel to the center of the earth. They crossed over into different genres, sometimes multiple genres in one song. There have been groups, bands and artists who couldn't do in 30 years what these guys did in 12. They are on a whole other level!

For me, it hasn't been all that long since I Rock n Rolled. I do it everyday.

That's nice for you

The piano is played by Ian Stewart, a founding member of The Rolling Stones who was also that band's road manager for many years...One of those rare songs that even after you've heard it a billion times over forty years, you still get excited when it comes on the radio...

Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song (Live 1972) (Official Video).... Banger

Unbridled pure energy. Man if you guys listen to this again definitely crank it up to the highest volume you can possibly tolerate because that's what it was meant to be like. Crank it until your eardrums bleed basically, lol. And then start dancing to it but do it like head banging. This song is all about that head banging feeling.

The story behind this song is they were in the recording studio recording another song, Four Sticks. Bonham was frustrated with getting the beat down and broke out with Little Richard drum beat and the rest of the band jumped in. This was the result.

This was getting airplay when I was growing up and getting into rock. The 'giants' were in full force when my entry into the scene began. Was lucky to catch them one time live.

They were trying to record Four Sticks, in which Bonzo actually used 4 sticks, and he was getting frustrated and went into Little Richard’s “Keep A Knockin”. The tape was rolling, and they wrote the majority of “Rock and Roll” then and there.

Over the Hills and Far Away Ramble On Custard Pie The Rover Heartbreaker Communication Breakdown Good Times, Bad Times These are all bangers! The Rain Song is a slower song but it's so beautifully written. It's one of those songs where you can sit back and close your eyes and just go wherever your mind takes you. That's just a handful of songs out of an incredible catalogue.

Gotta love the 70's. The greatest decade u won't remember.

Great song. I'd suggest 'Good Times, Bad Times' next. The tune that opens the first album introducing us all to this awesome band. It had us reaching for the volume to turn it up! I almost got to see them in 1972 but they were canceled after the riot at the Rolling Stones concert the week before. At least I saw that one. (June 3, 1972.). Cheers.

The piano on this is played by Ian Stewart (aka Stu), keyboard player for the Rolling Stones. He's fantastic.

So the story goes in the distant future there is a concert in heaven. The Beatles perform Hey Jude, and when finished the announcer says "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles. That was the greatest performance you'll ever witness". Robert Plant says "Hold my beer"

This song was a staple at house parties in the 70's!

Good live music used to be like water in a faucet ... you just turned it on. Not sure about now. Ticket prices suggest the supply is low.

You cannot go wrong with the ZEP!

Heart did an excellent cover of this on one of their early albums. Well worth a listen. If this one doesn't get you moving better call the medics.

That bass drum is insane. Greatest drummer of all time. Most of the greatest drummers today will mention Bonham as a major influence. Rock on everyone 🤟🤠👍

Perfection 😊

You need to watch the Live at Madison Square Gardens Version too. So much Energy😁👏🏻👍🏻🎼🎸

Led Zeppelin is Rock n Roll !

Thanks guys for doing my pick!.... Some suggest you listen to the live '73 MSG performance. I was at that show and its iconic BUT I thought it important you hear the studio version first... Robert Plant's vocal performance on the fourth album is mind blowing!... He gave it his all for the live shows in '73 and did the best he could, but sorry never again could he do what he did when this song was first recorded and I felt you needed to hear that first... Rock on!

The world knows!!!!!!!!!!

The story of this is fascinating, and tells you a whole lot about the who and what and how of Led Zeppelin ~ why they were the greatest ever rock n roll band. They were trying to record another song, I think it was 4 sticks, and Bonzo kept making minor mistakes with the drumming, and he got angry and went off on a little rif of his own, having a minor tanty, something that had a very conventional rock n roll beat to it, and after a few bars, Jimmi Page shrugged and joined in, jammed with him. Then John Paul did the same, and after the first line Robert Plant started to improvise lyrics, because it was clearly about Rock n Roll. They got the basics of the song down in one take ~ completely cold, completely improvising, and to this day it remains the perfect blueprint of what a Rock n Roll song should be. If I had to pick one song that captures who and what Led Zeppelin was, it would be Rock n Roll. I should also confess it is pretty much my favourite song. I'm about to turn 61, and I have loved this song for going on 50 years.

"Trampled Under Foot" is another pounding Zeppelin classic.

hammer of the gods. their live version is amazing...Page dancing all over the stage. Trampled Under Foot is also insane.

I saw Led Zeppelin in Greensboro, NC in 1975 and this was the first song they did. As soon as Bonham started beating the drums I knew I was in my happy place.

I recommend the song dazed and confused by Led zeppelin one. Studio version. Remaster version

Old school piano key banging. 🤘❤️

The group Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson) did a great cover of this in the '70s. They often covered Zeppelin with great success.

When I saw them in 1975 they opened up with Rock & Roll. As soon as you hear that drums intro you immediately know something big is starting. My favorite opening song ever. In 77 saw them again but didn't open with it. It was in the encore. This studio version is as good as the live really. Great hearing it with you!

All 9 albums hit the top 100 and 6 of them hit number 1

One of our big party songs from 71, best experienced in a crowded room through an ultra violet, smoky, alcoholic haze!! 71 rocked!!

LZ opened every concert with this tune, followed by Robert saying, Good Evening".

If you haven't reacted to Kashmir, you should. A Reporter mentioned to both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page that "Stairway to Heaven" must be Led Zepplin's definitive song. They both disagreed and said Kashmir is that song. It's Plant and Page's favorite Led Zepplin song. I would like to know what you two think.

Black Dog and Misty Mountain Hop are two of their songs worth checking out

Great song for sure, brilliant album. For something heavy duty from Led Zeppelin, do Heartbreaker, Dazed and Confused and/or the Wanton Song, those will blow you right out of your chairs! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Kashmir!! Not as energetic as rock and roll, but it’s a masterpiece!! It’s a long one too 😀

Fun fact… Stevie Nicks did a cover of this in concert.

Just amazing as always!! You havent heard ANYTHING yet! You have more like 100 yet to hear...not 40! This live 1973 at msg!! Unbelievable!

No Quarter and Battle Of Evermore!!

This was their opening song when I saw them in concert in 1973. Talk about electric!

Getting the Led out again love it. Do yourself a favor and listen to this whole album it is fire from start to finish this is the Zep album I bought as 13 year old in 1980, 9 years after it was released everyone over 50 has this in their collections.

They would always end their shows with this one. You would walk out rockin' and jamming with them all the way out the door! May the Music Never End!

The incomparable Led Zeppelin! May I suggest In the Evening from their In through the Outdoor album.

"KASHMIR" is my favorite song of all time 🔥 best riff ever imo! DEFINITELY do the STUDIO version (1975) FIRST & then react to "Kashmir" Live at Celebration Day (2007). I can't wait until you see if 32 years later they can still nail it 😉 Jason Bonham (John's son) on drums 💪🏼Kashmir is the song Robert said he wishes to be remembered for 🔥

You gotta check out Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy!

JPJ on bass is on 🔥

The drum start is an exact copy of a Little Richard song, they done it as a bit of a bit of a tribute

Wooo hoooo!

Love this song great review guys.

It started out as warm up riffs😮

Excellent song, Thanks for the upload Led Zeppelin going back in time with real ROCK & ROLL music. Thank you both I can tell you both love this song. I am 66 years of age hear this song more than a thousand times never gets old. Timeless music.

Led Zeppelin had quite a few heavy and rockin' tracks: 'Immigrant song' ... 'Communication breakdown' ... "Achilles' last stand" ... 'Trampled under foot' ... 'Carouselambra'... 'The song remains the same'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘

This was ZEPPELIN'S way of saying, You want us to ROCK 🤘!!?? You Got It!! 🎶🤘🤯

Great Band alot to Choose From great reaction

I’m glad you didn’t stop it, you start, you jam, and you recover ❤

One of their best...thanks! And yeah, you have a long ways to go to present more LZ. :)

Takes me back to high school days every time I hear this song!

"Rock & Roll" is a quintessential blues tune. Rock has it roots in blues and this song it a tribute to that. Page takes the most basic blues chords and does "Jimmy Page" with them in this song. Pure genius take on 12 bar blues.

This is an all time rock ‘n’ roll jam! You should also check out the live version from their legendary concert film “The Song Remains The Same”….. witch is of their 1973 concert at Madison Square Garden in New York… it opens their show, and it’s awesome… Really shows their energy! Van Halen, during the Sammy Hagar era, also did a fun version of the song… which I have seen them do live. It always starts with Sammy saying “ this is something from some old friends of ours!”

I lost my live show virginity to this tune. 1973 the Forum in LA. Jimmy Page playing a 20 minute solo with a violin bow during Dazed and Confused changed me.

Robert and Jimmy did an MTV unplugged (without JPJ) and an album of new music together, in the 90’s. My brother, in Chicago, got tickets for us at the United Center. We were off to the side of the stage, and it “rocked”. At concerts if people stand, you often stand too to see. So, Page & Plant did some Zep’ tunes, with their band -during an encore, of “Rock and Roll” we brothers wet standing, energized by Zep’, and I get tapped on my back. This guy, with a large cup of beer (like $9 for Bud’) calls out “You and your buddy, sit down, I can’t see”. I responded “this is Led Zep’ and you’re too drunk to stand!” I told my brother the exchange after. I thought of a clip with a concert by The Who, in 1970, when Pete stopped the band for a minute, seeing a couple talking in the front row while they played. Pete called into his mic’ “this is a Rock concert, not a tea party!” 🎸😎

Led Zeppelin many many great songs

All Right!

I never got to see them live being that I was born in 70. But I did see Heart cover this song a lot and was thrilled. Zeppelin will always be a favorite of mine, and so is Heart. This song is simply pure "Rock-n-Roll" at it's finest. Love watching you guys react to some of my favorites!!! Great job. Look forward to next. 🤟🍻

Top Dollar. 4 musicians on top of the game.

Come on you guys, rock out ! 🙃

Rock & Roll was inspired by a Little Richard song called Keep A Knocking. Littie Richard , along with most of the classic rock and roll singers helped inspire many of the Britsh Invasion bands . A great example is the Beatles even by their name was inspired by Buddy Holly and the Crickets in their early years.

This is Rock'n Roll !😆🥁🎸👏👍💪!

BRO, YOU NAILED IT!!!!! LED ZEPPELIN, HEAVIEST FUCKING BAND IN HISTORY!!!!!!! NO MATCH.......NAME 'EM.......

❤❤❤

LIVE from MSG 1973!!!

Yep, this a great one, back in the days, and now! Not complicated, just straight up rock and roll. Not a difficult song for the drums and guitar.

You should try Bring it on home - best of both worlds

Robert just sitting there ?:D dude what more do you expect

Another LZ song with this kind of energy is "Livin' Lovin' Maid" but it has to be listened together with its predecessor on the album "Heartbreaker." They're kind of a two-fer.

The GOAT!

The GOATS! You should start at album one, and song one…live when you could! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand (studio version).

Great You like it

This is a great fast song. Another one like this also from the first album is Communication Breakdown! 2 of their best!

Led zeppelin where untouchable in 1970 even now they are still untouchable masters of rock and roll masters of instruments best band ever led zeppelin

Fun Fact. The guy on the album cover has recently been identified as a 19th Century Thatcher from Mere, Wiltshire, England called Lot Long. He's carrying the thatch for the roofing on his back... Rock n Roll ! :)

very good song 👍👍🤘

❤👍

This song came about when the band was working on "Four Sticks" at the Headley Grange mansion they had rented in Hampshire, England to record the album. With a pretty much unplayable drum pattern, John Bonham got frustrated with the session, and tensions rose. In a pique of anger, he started playing something completely different: a riff based on the intro to the 1957 Little Richard song "Keep a Knockin'" (session great Earl Palmer was the drummer on that one). Infused with creative energy, they put "Four Sticks" aside and started working on this new song, which they called "It's Been a Long Time." Jimmy Page blasted out a guitar part, and the bones of the song were completed in about 30 minutes.

Bonham showed his genius in this song.

Jamming 👍🏽

Amazing! Somebody I don't know or care about reacting to something. I LOVE these reaction videos. Drink red Bull also!

Great Get the Led Out Idea. Do a few more studio versions, then do a Live stream doing a Live concert.

Great reaction!!! If you want some Led Zeppelin with a twist check out the song "Hot Dog" Thanks again for another great reaction.

The Mighty Zep!!!!!!!!!

How could any lover of rock music not love Rock N Roll by Led Zeppelin. Just an energy monster from start to finish led by drummer John Bonham's controlled mayhem and Jimmy Page's grungy, rough-hewn guitars. Nice bass from John Paul Jones and of course urgent and flamboyant singing by the incomparable Robert Plant. You guys are just beginning your journey through the Zep wormhole - it's no stinking rabbit hole. It is not an exaggeration to say you have about 60 songs to react to as most of the tunes off their 8 studio albums and one compilation LP (Coda) are worthy of listening to. Next try Misty Mountain Hop, When The Levee Breaks, The Song Remains The Same, Houses of the Holy, The Rover, The Ocean, No Quarter and their epic, mantra-filled, psychedelic journey Kashmir. That's all just for starters.

If you haven’t done it, you should do (the studio version) of their song Achilles Last Stand. You will be blown away. For ten minutes. Another similar experience will come from In My Time Of Dying. Both masterpieces. The first is a brilliant composition. The latter is the blues churned through a Harley engine. You can’t miss with either. On both tracks, Bonham, Zeppelin’s drummer, absolutely destroys, showing why he is considered by many to be the best ever.

Gotta listen to The Rover !!!
