Led Zeppelin: Classic Or Dud?

I love the cutting little riff jimmy plays during the middle 8… and bozo is phenomenal of course

Pretty telling it that they put it first

I have a friend who is strangely resistant to LZ. I saw him make some snide remark online, along the lines of "well, maybe I'll give the first Zeppelin album another shot, but I don't like this band in blooze mode," and I was all, dude, first song, first side!!!!!!!

don’t forget the triplets on d&c

Cover of tea for one, the drummer really has that JB snare tone

What happened to that Zeppelin documentary. that was due?

Apparently being re-edited after some mixed reviews: https://www.loudersound.com/news/the-long-awaited-led-zeppelin-documentary-becoming-led-zeppelin-has-undergone-a-name-change-and-is-being-re-edited

Oh well. At least we finally got "RoboDoc."

“I will share your love…”

AND
IF
YOU
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
THAT
YOU
CAN'T
GO
ON

Phil Collins has insisted, and rightly so, that he was not the one that fucked up the Live-Aid performance. He said the gathered band had not rehearsed, and Tony Thompson in particular arrogantly/cocainely insisted he knew the song, but as Phil pointed out, "Stairway" is deceptively tricky in its timing. Now, Phil rules, of course, and he's right. In fact, here's this clip of the song being performed sans vocals, with Simon Phillips on drums. Phillips is a mutant, one of the most insanely talented drummers of all time, and *he* fucks it up, too.

The story is that he was jet-lagged and didn't get a shot to rehearse it, either, but also that especially without vocals he just totally lost his place.

Good band, that Zeppelin.

Uhh

cocainely lol

Ooooooooohhh yeah

feel like doing stairway at live aid was the mistake, it's a zeppelin reunion with tony thompson, switch that out for wanton song or trampled underfoot or something, nobody is going to mind

Tony couldn’t handle the bridge and overplayed the rest of it.

I am skeptical that anyone has ever deciphered these lyrics on their own

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

ham sandwich of the gods

Something something Tolkien

on we sweep with thrashing oar
i wanna go where we can swing along

I am skeptical that anyone has ever deciphered these lyrics on their own

Not before being overrun.

The coming of the cold will drive our ships to new lands
I want to go where there’s a rest and a show
I sometimes feel so green,
and whisper Tales of Storms.
Howling come, the tides are warm
We are an overload
Always seek, push it on,
I want to go where there’s a rest and a show
Peace (and just get with it)! Disband, all you losin’s!

Ah . . . ah . . . .

Fightin’ the haul

I am coming
But now you know

This is almost as good as the Japanese import of Elvis Costello's Almost Blue we had in the store back in the day

Why don't you love me like you used to do
Why do you treat me like a one-eyed Jew

I wanna go where there's a rest and show

OTM

The Rhythm of the Cause will drive worship anew, lads

Never before seen live footage from 1977:

WOW!!

Bonham having a cig during the acoustic set lol

met a man on the roadside crying

without a friend there's no denying

you're incomplete

there'll be no finding

looking for what you knew

still have to pinch myself.

“We’re gonna Groove” should be rated. Killer

listening to houses today, Percy's voice on the song remains the same lol

Like hearing Jimmy go all technical but the editing on that promo is headache inducing.

one of my friends just posted this weird cover of "san francisco"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b54U-bYh5bU

and listening to it, it seems to be based on the "san francisco" interpolation into "dazed and confused" in '73? a, uh, sort of achillean take on san francisco (#onethread). except with like. autotune and stuff.

a little bit "what why"

don't think i'd ever seen this footage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsRSwlGDtTw

is that donovan at 5:53 or so?

it's weird how young and small everyone looks, and how dirty. i'm glad this clip isn't in smell-o-vision - the unwashed bodies, the constant ciggies. so weird to see bonham looking young and healthy.

Yes, that is Donovan. Page and Jones played on a few of his recordings.
