Roses are red. Violets are blue. When I listen to led zepplin, my neighbors do too.
-
Bonham’s drumming on this track is phenomenal.
-
"I'm not just listening to the singer, I'm listening to the band." - Corey Roy... no truer words, were ever spoken.
-
Imagine 4 kids all about 21 yrs old creating music like this today.
-
You guys are ready for this one.. Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973)
-
John Bonham is the GOAT. His drum fills were insane in this song.
-
Zeppelin...Since I've Been Loving You, a blues masterpiece...
-
Even in the ‘70’s, we knew we were listening to best band that would ever do it.
-
'When The Levee Breaks' is a mvp masterpiece
-
“In my time of dying” would be a great experience for you guys
-
I think you’d enjoy “You Shook Me” by Led Zeppelin. It was a Muddy Waters blues tune, but as Jimmy Page said “we took the blues, twisted it and turned it on its head”.
-
Imagine being 20 or so, in school, getting this album, going back to your dorm room and putting g it on and listening with your roommate in 1969. This was 4th song on album. We just looked at one another, jaws open, our expressions going WTF??!!! Nothing heavier in rock at this point. This was it.
-
The live version is where this song really shines with Page’s use of a Cello bow on his guitar.
-
Bonzo going nuts on this track. This song live from MSG in 1973 is as visually stimulating as the song itself 😂❤
-
One of the mightiest of the mighty Led Zeppelin’s tunes.
-
They are clearly playing the blues, only it’s also clearly rock music.
-
“Since I Been loving You” will shake your souls.😎❤️
-
55 yrs old and it still rocks
-
This is from their first album, which they recorded just about 5 weeks after forming as a band, and they were so young - ages ranged from 20-24! Four of the most gifted musicians were producing music like we had never heard it before. Best blues/rock band ever. I've enjoyed all your Led Zeppelin reactions, but would really enjoy it if you reacted to them more frequently. To understand the depth and breadth of their catalogue, best to start with album 1 track 1, and just keep on going. ;)
