That swing by Bonham is one of the deepest grooves in popular music. It’s fun to remember that’s the same cat who does dazed and confused.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle. Bernard played on hundreds of albums.

[@benshafer5198]

Bonzo's known signature piece was always Levee (sampled to death), and to some degree Time of Dying and Achilles, but this one's gotta be right there with the others as one of his crowning achievements. Just a sick groove

[@paulfedor9828]

@@jgsrhythm100 So Bernard Purdie....never noticed before.......Bonzo loved to take from Clyde Subblefeild shuffle beat from James Brown's band....but that is the Purdie shuffle for sure

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I knew you guys would love this. And what Bonzo did there was take the already difficult Purdy Shuffle and modified it for his use in this song, and in so doing made it even more difficult. It's just so fun, especially his choice of fills within that framework.

Bonzo would use something he liked - the feel of it, never just taking it note for note though, he was his own style unto himself.

[@monkface]

Bonzo was depressed during this time and didn't like his drumming very much. I wish he would have lived to know how much everyone loves these drums and are still talking about it 44 years later.😢

[@njaco08]

This is why Bonzo is a genius. Most drummers would play a second snare hit - like a double - on every beat. But he restrains himself to every fourth hit. Moves the song. Page was into heroin, Bonzo was into drink so it was left up to Plant and JPJ to create this album. Wait until "Southbound Suarez"!

This may well be my favorite video of you guys reacting to Zeppelin. Not ONLY because you so clearly loved it, but because your enthusiasm helped ME to RE-appreciate just how fucking good this bad boy is! I heap shame on my high school self in '79 for buying into the notion that this was somehow "inferior" Led cos it wasn't "Black Dog" or "Heartbreaker" or whatever! LOL, man, F that, as I've come to realize, since High School: this is ZEPPELIN, the band that makes ANYTHING they try superb!

It's so great to see the younger generations appreciating Led Zeppelin like we 60's and 70yr olds grew up with and thier are many more bands from that era that could blow you away and NO the Who did not suck and John Entwistle was no where near as talented as John Paul Jones, but he was still in that great bassist league. 👍

I love y'all guys Zeppelin musical influence came from the blues

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

I love that last lyric, "I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block!" Cracks me up every time. Jimmy Page used regular distortion and a fuzz/octave peddle for the solo. John Bonham is just on another level and JPJ is always incredible. Plant always sounds great!

[@johncampbell756]

Jimmy apparently had fallen in love with his "Suboctivator" pedal. I think it appears on Coda as well.

It gets WAY too much hate. I always ask the haters "what exactly did you want Led Zeppelin to sound like at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s with all that was going on with music? Led Zep 2?!

[@isomer13]

@@gino88 Completely agree.

[@joescott8877]

I might quibble with the word "hate," tho I'm sure there are some who actively feel malevolence towards it, heh. MY theory, and speaking only for myself here, but i may be onto something, is: I and many of my friends in '79, roughly 16-19 at the time, felt let down that there was no "Black Dog" (tho there was a "Hot Dog," ba-dum-dum) or "Immigrant Song" or, for the aficionados among us, a "Nobody's Fault But Mine." What was with all these synthesizers and whistles and shit? Wasn't that sort of New Wave-y or, worse, within shouting distance of the dreaded "DISCO" sound/vibe? At the time my "clique" was "jock-turning-into-freak"/athlete-to-stoner. And the soft, sing-songy "All My Love"? (Shamefully, we may have even realized, unmoved, that it was about Robert mourning the loss of his boy.) WTF, Zep? Is my vague memory of our then-idiotic , macho-tainted first take on the album. So we cranked "In The Evening," fiddled (so to speak) with "Hot Dog," MAYBE explored "Carouselambra" to the point of SOME appreciation, and pretty much left the rest alone, including THIS little masterpiece. Fools in the Rain, indeed. I just wonder if others had the same reaction/impression, and that then somehow carried thru the decades into this being cited as their "worst" album? I don't think they had a "bad" album, not even close. Only "maybe slightly better than the others" ones.

[@gino88]

@@joescott8877 interesting to read your perspective and what age you were at the time. I am sure you aren’t alone in that experience. I was 8 years old and absorbed all their previous albums all at once from albums I had, what the older gives got me into and what the radio was playing. It was all new to me even though some of it was already 10 years old. Definitely felt what you felt about the album at the time (as much as an 8 year old could). My thoughts about “what did you want them to sound like in 1979?” Was a thought I only had recently. They could have been retro old sounding Zep, could have been post punk or post disco or new wave. Where they did end up landing sound wise on that album might have been the best option.

This Bonzo interpretation of the ‘Purdie Shuffle’ is *LEGENDARY.* There’s an isolation of this drum track out there and you can reeeeally hear the intricacy of his ghost notes and just how solid it is. It’s also pertinent to acknowledge Bernard “Pretty” Purdie who was the originator of the Purdie Shuffle :)

One of my favorite Zeppelin albums, despite how badly the critics and a lot of fans shit all over it after it was released.

Imagine what could have been. *sigh*

[@dbradx]

Oh man, this is my favorite Bonzo beat ever - he's just insane on the drums from the get go. Making my morning again, gents - much love from Canada!

[@johnwalsh9144]

This was definitely one of the biggest hits off the album, but the one that got the most playtime was "All of My Love" the tribute song Robert wrote about the death of his son and how it affected the life of his parents afterward. JPJ really stepped-up writing and arranging this album, but the band showed how good they could still be in spite of the many directions they were being pulled during the time. I can only imagine how wonderful it might have been, even if they just wrote and produced music going forward and never, or just sparingly toured! The Stones, The Who, Floyd, even Sabbath, had decades to change and adapt and build a resume. These guys sadly ended up having to cram it all in

[@sebastianblack6506]

I read somewhere that they had attended the World Cup in Argentina to watch England play. They were in the stadium during a Brazil game and heard the fans plaing Samba in the stands. That's how they got the inspiration for the Samba beat in the song.

[@ellenbrady1977]

It's my bithday today. Watching you guys react and appreciate the band I have loved for 53 years was a fabulous gift !!!!!!! Thanks for being "true reactors", I remember hearing and feeling things while listening to zep albums that I had never heard of from any other band or musician.(and every band was on their "A" game in that era) It's a different feeling from every song. No quarter, and the rain song really take you somewhere else, those are in my top 10 live songs. FITRain just makes you happy , want to dance , and laugh that Robert was on the wrong block the whole time. I truly can't think of another band that covered so many different genres. If someone says they don't like zeppelin, it just means they haven't heard their albums !!! There is at least one song they are going to love. imo. Once again,, thanks guys for all the time you've spent covering lz, and please keep going because there is so much more !!!

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This song is definitely different for the band. Bonzo's "Purdie shuffle" is outstanding and his timbale work is top tier. Jonesy plays marimba with hard and soft mallets while Jimmy provides occasional twelve-string flourishes and a guitar solo using an MXR Blue Box octave fuzz effect to give his guitar a unique, buzzy/fuzzy tone. The Samba tone was inspired by Jones and Plant watching the televised 1978 World Cup soccer matches that were being hosted by Argentina during the month of June, just as the band was starting to write songs for this album. I also love the lyrics about a guy going to meet his girl until he realizes he's waiting on the wrong block. It's a song that underscores, yet again, that Zep could and would be different as they pleased.

[@Boston685]

So happy to see this song up and your smiles and heads bobbing from the start- this song is sheer liquid joy for me, my favorite Zep song- I like all of their songs but this song just soars.

[@lextownes1042]

So the groove is a half time shuffle (triplets interspersed w/ghost notes and some para diddle on the high hat) al a “Pretty” Bernard Purdie. You’re correct that JPJ is playing at least 3 instruments on this track. JPJ wrote most of the selections on Zepps final album. He always was the groups foundation and a woefully underrated musician.

[@Mikeluvdrums]

This was JPJ's Album, he was given full creative control as per J. Page

[@turnsufficient4971]

Bonzo's playing a half-time shuffle - he playing two different time signatures within the beat. He opens it up on the choruses and plays the ride cymbal with the beat. Bonzo also had a whistle on a string around his neck and plays it throughout mid-section. Bonzo overdubs timbales, igogo bells, a vibraphone, Caribbean steel drums - all over the top of his steady beat on the base track of alternating bass drum and hi-hat kicks, while wailing on his snare drum. Jimmy plays a great heavy riff for the verses and then rips into his beautiful, flawless finger-picking 12 string acoustic guitar for the choruses when the song opens up. That guitar solo is insanely awesome and it's sound is very unique. Jonesy is playing some fantastic piano on this number and then guides the song into the Brazilian samba band mid-section. Robert's vocals are clear and his voice sounds great. Robert Plant and John Paul Jones attended a soccer match or championship game in Brazil in 1978 and got the idea to incorporate a Brazilian samba band sound into one of their songs and this was it. This song is really not categorizable musically - they were inventing whole new forms and styles of music on this album. PS: Dave Matthews opened up several shows on his last tour with this Led Zepplin song.

[@budmaynard5952]

That's definitely on my top 3 Bonzo performances if not my favorite and I've been listening to all their albums since the 70's. He must have had to change the drum heads after that thrashing! In the middle Caribbean influenced section it's a marimba. A xylophone is similar but is higher pitched and brighter and usually used in classical music. It's also smaller whereas marimbas are big (xylo - 2.5 to 3 octaves and marimba up to 5 octaves, or even more). Bonzo died shortly after this and LZ broke up. Robert Plant had a good run as a solo artist afterwards: check out Plant's "Big Log" for a cool song from his solo career. Mellow but one of my favorite guitar riffs ever. Thanks for listening and sharing! Peace from SF (originally from MD so love the O's hat!)

Just another example of why they are the GOATS! They were rolling into the 80’s just fine musically. Personally there were some things to work out. Carouselamba is coming.

Actually what Bonham is using rhythmically is a drum pattern called the Purdie shuffle. Which was created by Bernard Purdie. Checkout the interview with Rick Beato and Bernard Purdie. And then fool in the rain influenced Jeff Porcaro of Toto in the song Rosanna. Now both drummers very creatively put their own twist on that particular pattern. But it originated from Mr. Purdie. 🙂

Greatest Band ever 🎤 drop

I told you that you guys were hooked. For good reason, The 3 big songs on the album were In The Evening, Fool In The Rain and All Of My Love, which you guys haven't got to yet, but the song, Hot Dog is one of my least favorite songs from Zeppelin. But the rest of the album is good no doubt.

Great reaction guys!! This is such a fun track. Bonham (RIP) has such a swinging groove! If you think JPJ is going bonkers here, just wait until you hear Carouselambra - where he's OFF THE CHAIN! Loving your progression through Zep's albums. Such an awesome journey to be having with you. Cheers!

In my top 3 Zepplin songs.....Bonham's double tap.....AAHHHH!

Haha, I've rewatched this like 4-5 times, just to experience your joy at this song again. I've been listening to this since the 80s, glad you're loving it.Carouselambra is also wild like this, can't wait.
