​@@yvettemoore1082My first concert was KISS in 1979 in grade 7, here in Vancouver. Local band Loverboy backed them up. I wasn't allowed to go, but everyone in the neighborhood was going, so I took $10 from Mom's wallet and called her from the Coliseum. Tickets were $10.50. My first real act of rebellion. It was so freaking worth it!

Believe it or not, this song, despite its length and strange arrangement, was played in regular rotation on FM rock stations during my youth. The older I get (alas, can't get a whole lot older, due to an expiration date unknown) the more I appreciate the music of my youth. Dang, we had great music back in the day.

[@pippavombr5856]

It was a fun time with all that great music by outstanding musicians. I was 11 when I was introduced to Led Zeppelin on a very popular music show called "Beat Club" here in Germany. Every Saturday afternoon for only 7 years (1965 till 1972) they gave us the best life music ever. Adults didn't like it much but my mom and grandma watched with me every Saturday, and after Beat Club a music show for older folks with German "Schlager" started.

[@suzedeque]

I'm right there with you on our "expiration" date -- unknown but creeping closer every day! We were SO lucky to have grown up during the time of "make love, not war" and all that that entailed. The best days of my life! I was one of those who never fit into the mainstream, and it was hard getting by always being the outsider. Then the hippie movement came along and showed me EXACTLY where I belonged and who my peers were going to be for the rest of my life. We made great changes happen, we stood for the end of the war and the beginning of civil rights for EVERY AMERICAN! Our music reflected our new-found freedom, our joy and love for each other, and our commitment to equality for everyone and dedication to no more war. Alas, we couldn't change the world, but we did try. And that's saying more than most people can say when they look back on their youth. Long live the hippie spirit and the desire to fix this broken country and fill it with love for each other once more. Long live our great music and our great dream. NEVER surrender -- NEVER!!

Hi I’m a 53 year old man from the UK, I would love to see how a gentleman from the USA would react to a song from my younger days. In the late 70s and early 80s there was a musical phenomenon called Two tonne, Ska and sometimes skinhead music. It stated with working class kids who had grown up listening to traditional Jamaican ska, rocksteady, and reggae. These Influences were mixed with punk and a whole new movement was born. The artist from both black and white backgrounds came together to inspire the young people of the uk to stand and dance with each other. The track I was thinking of for you was Ghost town by the specials. The specials for a mix of black and white kids who had grown up together in a West Midlands town called Coventry in England. This was at the start of the 80s when Margaret Thatcher was still in power as the Prime Minister and unemployment was running high in the United Kingdom. It is more solemn belief that if more people came together with music the bit less hate in the world. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuVoIuwp9Onn5Ysi=ubi-VFNgQ6cg4RYm

Happy Birthday man 🎉 mines coming up April. Going kayaking. Led Zeppelin was my medicine through out my life.

Happy Birthday 🎉 The race car sound is sliding the pick up the strings. Then it's playing guitar with a bow. I'm sure you caught the little tip of the hat to traditional African drums, you'll even see Robert and John do a traditional African dance.

April 7, 1977, Chicago Stadium. I sewed a green star on the knee of my jeans for the event. Jimmy had a star on his pants.

Yes back door man ! The middle part of this song, the break with the weird sounds was for us who indulged, or as Hendrix said " experienced"...the absolute best band I'm glad I grew with Led Zep and got to see them live !

Top of the Pops intro Thursday nights in the ‘70’s, dancing in front of the tv to all the top records of the day (I’m remembering the young me circa 1972/3) Good times

[@26shedan]

back door man had a different meaning in the 70's-one man leaving by the front door of the house and one sneaking in the back. Hope your Birthday is relaxing and wonderful!

[@BV-nx6vq]

Oh yeah. 10 out of 10, 1 of the coldest riffs ever for sure. Great reaction to the presiding animus of all the heaviness that came after...enjoy the 🎂
