That's the Way and Tangerine are classic songs that get pushed to the back of the room when considering all of LZ's catalog. Two of my favorite Led Zeppelin's songs

[@silasmarner7586]

I agree. Having said that, the whole album is a freaking monster.

[@pbachess]

Just like 'Thank you' from album II.

[@johnnyhmash]

Yeah?Tangerine is insipid at best .From the band that gave us Moby Dick,last word in riff driven heavy metal, then a cold winter in Wales and we get this mandolin wind.

[@monjiaitaly]

i used to listen to Gallows Pole over and over, I love that song. You can feel his desperation for someone to save him as the music speeds up.

[@David-ng7cr]

Back in the day when you went to a party you would take a handful of albums. That's one way people found new music. Was little too no radio play of good music back then. I'm old enough to remember all this great work coming out for the first time. Beautiful days 💕

Oh Lord, I know exactly what you mean David... That's EXACTLY what I used to do also, take half a dozen or more LPs, yes VINYL to a house party... That way, you gained new friends and associates.. Nothing to do with Led Zeppelin, but I got a few people into Tangerine Dream, especially the albums, Rubycon, Richocet and Stratosphere... I think I'm showing my age bud...

[@tektoniks_architects]

This album was written while Jimmy Page (guitarist) and Robert Plant (vocalist) were on retreat in an old house with no heat or running water. Because of such, acoustic guitars dominated the album, and helped Led Zeppelin further refine their "Lighter" side, to complement their "Shade" (heavier sound) already established. This album is important because it helped to shape Zeppelin's musical approach on future albums - "Light and Shade." Gallows Pole....starting acoustic, slowly....then building faster and louder....a precursor to Stairway to Heaven (next album). Tangerine: A song Jimmy Page (guitarist) wrote while he was in the Yardbirds, which was called: "Knowing That I'm Losing You." That's The Way: A song about prejudice and intolerance, and environmental consciousness. Bron-yr-aur Stomp: A song whose lyrics Robert wrote in tribute to his dog, Stryder. Hat's Off To (Roy) Harper: A tribute to Jimmy's friend, folk singer Roy Harper. (Roy Harper sang lead on Pink Floyd's song "Have A Cigar", fyi) . The next album will be a stark, heavy, electric contrast to this album....enjoy the ride! Great channel!

I've always felt that Page's acoustic playing set him apart from his peers. Having an entire song about Robert's Blue Eyed Merle dog is pretty cool too.

[@carlbradley4872]

This album and 'Presence' both get left behind in any discussion about the breadth and importance of the sound of Led Zeppelin. It sounds crazy to call them 'underrated', but in many ways they are. No doubt history is kind to the legacy of this band, but even true Rock aficionados tend to focus on a rather specific dozen or so songs, leaving out many that show the diversity of their interest, talent, and creativity. This album really forces us to revisit what we all THINK we remember of them. FANTASTIC watching your reactions, not only because of your joy and perceptive response, but also reminding me of the entirety of the Led Zeppelin catalog. THANK YOU and keep doing what you are doing! You are helping me enjoy, again, the variety of my musical history.

@carlbradley: Isn't it odd that this album is the polar opposite of Presence, which is their most electric album.

Great to see your reaction to this…..

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Excellent reaction! Gallows Pole started as a centuries old poem that got reimagined through the ages. I love how it speeds up to a jangling, almost manic whirl. Jimmy wrote Tangerine for a former girlfriend. That's The Way would become part of what they called their "acoustic set" when played in concert. They would sit at the front of the stage and sing songs like this, Going To California, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and Battle Of Evermore. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp (pronounced like "bron-er-ire") is misspelled; it should be Bron-Yr-Aur. It's a Welsh word which means "golden breast" or "golden hills". Hats Off To (Roy) Harper had Jimmy using a slide guitar while Robert sang his vocals through an amplifier. To me, it sounds very "old-timey" like a radio picking up a signal from long ago.

[@steelcity3534]

Great to see you again, Verdy. Your Led Zeppelin music journey continues on with your fresh and fantastic reaction to LZ III. I believe the vocal affects you noticed on "Hat's off to Roy Harper" is Robert Plant singing through a type of vibrato amplifier. Unfortunately, they did not perform many of their acoustic based songs live very often (Songs like 'That's the way' and 'Bron-y-aur Stomp' from this album). However, there are videos from their live performances in 1975 at Earl's Court in London that include the aforementioned acoustic songs and others. Definitely worth checking out in the future. .. Probably after you listen to the next couple LZ albums. Take care.

[@ChrisJones-hv7mo]

Such a fine album with some of gems mixed in. You might like to know "Tangerine" was the song as the credits started to roll for Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical movie "Almost Famous". The movie also had parts of "That's the way", "Misty Mountain Hop", "The Rain Song", and "Bron-Yr-Aur". Crowe was obviously an LZ fan & III must have inspired him.

Cest tres bon .... I bought this album the day it came out in Canada.

Gallows Pole goes back to an old folk song (The Maid Freed from the Gallows) that appears in many different cultures and languages. Usually the last person to arrive would say something like "No I haven't brought you anything, I just came buy to see you swing from the gallows pole". Other variations see the condemned saved because the last person to arrive brings silver or gold to bribe the hangman. The Led Zepplin version still has a different twist with the hangman just being an evil person who derives pleasure from seing others hanged. One version I can reccommend is from German band In Extremo - Der Galgen. You can find the lyrics and translation on the internet. I highly reccommend In Extremo anyway. Especially their live shows. :)

[@barriehull7076]

In 1970, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - as well as most of the other songs on Led Zeppelin's third album - was written by Robert Plant, the lead singer of the English rock band, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones at a small 18th century cottage known as Bron-Yr-Aur (meaning "breast of gold" in Welsh - as in a hillside of gold) in the wilderness of Wales. This folk-rock song is about Robert Plant walking in the countryside with his dog Strider: Spoons can be played as a makeshift percussion instrument, or more specifically, an idiophone related to the castanets. They are played by hitting one spoon against the other.

[@Kashmir.820]

Absolutely loving your channel!!! Did you catch on Bron~Yr-Aur that Robert wrote the song about his dog, a blue eyed Merle. In live shows at the end of song sometimes he would yell out Strider (dogs name), which is the name we first knew Aragorn as in Lord of the Rings trilogy. Can’t wait til you get to next album!!!! ☮️

For all acoustic numbers live including "Gallows Pole", "Tangerine", and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", (later "Going To California", "Battle of Evermore", "Ten Years Gone"), John Paul Jones plays an acoustic guitar hybrid (triple-neck with mandolin) while playing bass with his feet on a separate bass pedal set-up. Like all his organ performances, he handles the bass with his feet. Old school art! Pretty incredible

Gallows pole is an execution device. The lyrics are about a man trying to delay his hanging until his friends and family can rescue him. Although there are many versions of this song, Led Zeppelin's is unusual in that it ends with the hangman hanging the protagonist despite all of his bribes. Most other versions end with the hangman setting the protagonist free. The name “guillotine” dates to the 1790s and the French Revolution, but similar execution machines had already been in existence for centuries. A beheading device called the “planke” was used in Germany and Flanders during the Middle Ages, and the English had a sliding axe known as the Halifax Gibbet, which may have been lopping off heads all the way back to antiquity. The French guillotine was likely inspired by two earlier machines: the Renaissance-era “mannaia” from Italy, and the notorious “Scottish Maiden,” which claimed the lives of some 120 people between the 16th and 18th centuries. Evidence also shows that primitive guillotines may have been in use in France long before the days of the French Revolution.

I can't wait for you to continue this love affair with Zeppelin because they get even better - especially Physical Graffiti - but you must survive Zoso first .

So many folks don’t understand - including the critics when zep released this album - what a absolute masterpiece it truly is So many bands tried in the 90’s and 2000’s to do the unplugged thing and never came close I assure you - live this was amazing
