[@morpher44]

@@michaellewis7959 I think there were lots of super groups in the 70s -- all inspired by the Beatles and Elvis and Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, and Jimi Hendrix and on and they were of course all inspired by American pop music and R&B. The British wave is fun yes, a friendly re-interpretation of American kick-ass music.

Wait until you hear them do Kashmir live from the Celebration Day performance. Even though Bonham had died, his son sat In and those old dudes just remind you how great they really are

[@NoName-cz3wn]

Bro you're so different than most of these reaction channels. You say the right words all the time. Like when you explained how it goes from sounding like noise to being obsessed with the intracacies... only someone who truly feels it would even be able to articulate it. Rock fans can talk for an hour about their favorite drums from a band they both love. Most of these dudes can't talk that way bc they aren't true audiophiles. Also, yes, Hendrix and Sabbath are the perfect next ones. But I gotta get Pink Floyd at least up thru the Wall.

About half of this album are tracks that were recorded for the previous few albums, but left off and later included on this one. Bron-Yr-Aur was recorded for Led Zeppelin III; Down by the Seaside, Night Flight, and Boogie With Stu were recorded for the fourth album; The Rover, Houses of the Holy, and Black Country Woman were recorded for Houses of the Holy.

Darius, I've been waiting for your reaction to this album particularly so I could point you Zeppelin's Celebration Day Live version of Kashmir where the lads reunite as elderly gentlemen and blow the roof off of the stadium with by far the most powerful version of this song (165M views).

Especially "In my time of dying":A freight train of a song, four locomotives strong. Pulls out slowly, inching along, picking up speed, we sense the power. Now we're cruising fast, the chugga-chugga rhythm of JPJ keeping it barreling down the track, with Robert the Air Whistle, or, as they used to say, the Steam Trumpet, wailing in and to the setting sun, and Jimmy the Engineer, mad grin on his face as his magnificent Iron Horse hurtles towards Legend, all the while hauling Bonzo-grade Thunder.

Nice video as always Darius, I’m a 14 year old boy from New Zealand, and I recently fell in love with the Beatles, and been loving your videos I have a 3 things for what you have to listen to after let it be and past masters 1 you gotta watch the get back documentary (the best movie/documentary from the Beatles) 2 you gotta watch how the Beatles changed music by the beat goes on( the best summary of the Beatles carrer) 3 and finally you gotta watch the paul mcartney carpool karaoke There are many more awesome Beatles content to watch, but in my opinion these are the top 3 theatres you gotta watch.

[@sicotshit7068]

Plant had to have surgery on his vocal chords, it was harder for him to hit the higher notes, but he still always sounded amazing. I believe he had surgery twice, he was by the second time, told he could lose his vocals all together. So glad you are appreciated them so much, because the are the greatest ever. A great live from this album is, In My Time Of Dying on May 25,1975, the best date of that version. Just seeing your reaction to this song, you definitely need to do the live soon, it’s even better.

Good bands will always find ears generations on. It’s beautiful when someone gives the classics a chance. Many say rock is dead and I can see their point in these times in particular. I have been around long enough to see the patterns the industry takes. Great music is everywhere, it’s just waiting to find ears and it always will. Fill your soul with this goodness, it will make you live and love on. Shout out to this channel and your thoughts. Led is amazing, Beatles unreal, Floyd astounding and, as you know, these are just our guides to the sonic multiverse. If you’re looking for some listens, may I recommend Parliament - Osmium, Funkadelic - Maggot Brain, Supertramp - Crime of the Century, Heart - Dreamboat Annie, Kate Bush - The Kick Inside, Elvis Costello - My Aim is True, Stevie Wonder - Music of Mind, and finally The Cars - The Cars. This stuff is painted with the 1970’s paint brush and whatever Bob Ross was smoking (certainly Marley too). Cheers bro, keep up the great work.

You mention Robert Plant's more strained vocals - it was around the time when House of the Holy was released I believe that he had to get surgery for his strained vocal cords because of the constant touring Zeppelin was doing which is why he sounds so different.

[@joescott8877]

Also, "Houses of the Holy" was an expression Robert used for stadiums filled with fans--I THINK, lol. You said they were "the perfect band." I recall seeing Plant say in an interview in the mid-80's describe Zeppelin as "The Ultimate Quartet." Works for me! Also, they were all very proud of "Kashmir." It may have been Robert's favorite Zep tune. And they kept the studio banter in at the end of "In my time of dying" so that ppl would realize it was a one-take, LIVE studio recording. Man, to have been a fly on THAT fucking wall! O my Jesus!

[@geoffreyblazi4446]

Beatle's Don't Let Me Down video from the rooftop (that's the recording on the album, so you'll hear it, but the video is epic). And I've Got A Feeling (same). Moving to Zep, remember that these double albums boil down to 2 disks/CDs, but there are 4 vinyl album sides. So the bands put thought into the end of Side 1 and the opener for side 2 (of the vinyl), for example, and same for sides 3 and 4. That gets lost a bit on the CD versions which lump sides one and two of the first vinyl record into "Disc 1." That's also when (back in the day) you actually had to turn over the vinyl record from side one to hear side two (hence the "side" terminology. So though went into what the listener was going to hear when they put the needle down on side 2, etc.

[@kennethpriestman4255]

Oh man so funny you're reaction to In My Time of Dying. Good to know it's not just me. hahaha This is my LZ album when I just want to get away from it all.

As for the title "Trampled Underfoot" being a kind of euphemism, I don't THINK so for the title itself, but in a bootleg recording Robert introduced the song saying something like "This song is supposedly about a motorcar, but it's really just about...**moving parts**..."

The Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir" was featured in the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant. However, there was a copyright infringement lawsuit over the song's use in the film The song was also sampled by the 1988 Schoolly D song "Signifying Rapper"

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

I saw the movie during its opening week and the song hadn’t been pulled yet. As far as I know, the original Zep track was never used, just Signifying Rapper by Schoolly D with a session guitar & drums playing the Kashmir riff. Abel Ferrara had never cleared it. pretty sure they were forced to strike a new print without the song almost immediately

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

fwiw I would add the effect it had on the audience. It was a midnight screening on opening weekend and some people def went nuts when it came on. It followed Harvey walking down a hallway in an early scene, when his gambling debts were overlapping with a murder investigation iirc. Great movie imo

[@MrBedZeppelin]

In 1973 Robert had vocal cord surgery & back then it was fairly common for singers to smoke. Robert's early screams were a big part of his sound so yes Robert's voice matured then by 1975, -1980 an even further change. It also a well-known fact that he is still singing well into his seventies. There you go, Context. Thanks for the vid!
