Lex nails it. Learning about and acquiring music took more effort. Bands like Zeppelin didn't get much radio exposure, so you heard their albums through friends and at parties. Then it was off to the record store. It was not disposable or forgettable.

[@hlawrencepowell]

Exactly!

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

While it's true Zeppelin didn't release singles for radio play, and some of their songs were deemed too long by certain radio stations, your point is very misleading because the Zep songs that did get radio play got a *ton* of radio play...like, "Stairway To Heaven", for instance. So every kid who listened to rock stations knew who Zeppelin was--they didn't need to hear about the band from "parties" or from their friends.

[@hlawrencepowell]

@@Cosmo-Kramer depends where you lived. Stairway would have been the only Zep song I heard on the radio in my neck of the woods in the 1970s. Every other Zep tune was from friend's vinyl. So there's that. I lived it.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@hlawrencepowell Well, I wasn't talking about people who grew up in East Jabip.

[@danmayberry1185]

@@Cosmo-Kramer thanks for the fact-check, but FM wasn't viable in a lot of markets until around LZ III, or come standard with too many car radios, and didn't equal the commercial value of AM competitors until around 1978. I was a Yardbirds fan before LZ I, worked in AM and FM radio - maybe got to play D'Yer Mak'er once a week. US, UK, European and Canadian markets all used different charts.

[@chestrockwell8328]

Yes, we had to buy records, sometimes singles, but ideally the entire album. I seem to recall pricing around 8-14 bucks in the early-mid 80's. Buying an actual album is so much better; take in the cover art, the liner notes, you'd read and re-read everything. This is why we know all the band members, the producers, recording studios and so on. You'd get introduced to music via friends just hanging out, at parties. Of course going to concerts was a big deal And we found places with these paper things called maps and streets had these metal signs so we could figure out where to turn...ha, ;)

[@BRLaue]

And the navigator was the guy that had smoked one less doob than everyone else before you left the house.

I can remember buying LP's for $1.00 - 2.00 when I was young..actually spent hours pouring through them at the 5 and dime store.

[@kurtsaxton823]

I still have all their albums on vinyl, I have several that were released on single only and about 40 bootlegs that my friend from Chicago sent me back in that late '70s early '80s. Anybody that has never experienced going into a record store for hours and hours stoned like a son of a gun and digging through each and every album just hasn't lived. Or listening to your favorite radio station for hours at night listening to the King biscuit flower hour and Night at the Fillmore and all the radio shows that used to play these great albums, waiting in line for hours for a new album to drop or concert tickets to go on sale. Good times gone forever.

[@garion46]

Yes Lex Jimmy Page is playing the banjo and John Paul Jones is playing the mandolin.

[@nunyadambusiness6902]

Back story on this song: in medieval times (or maybe a lil before that), the custom was if you got the death penalty for certain crimes, you were given a choice. The choice was to pay what was called a "blood debt", which was compensate for the crime by paying $$$, or ELSE sentence was carried out & you got HUNG... if they couldn't pay, no slack was given... If you did the crime & got caught, you either paid or you got no mercy... keep in mind this was pre-1500 ad or something like that... That's why the lyrics say "what did ya bring me, my brother, TO KEEP ME FROM THE GALLOWS POLE?..." Many times, it was your family pooling resources & showing up at the last minute to save you, since you were standing there about to swing. So you better HOPE you had family OR were on GOOD terms with them...

[@stevelever83]

Yep exactly! Here the hangman takes the Silver, takes the Gold, sleeps with his sister and still hangs him.

[@ironrose2672]

"People probably had record collections." Yes, and some of us still do! It's nice to see Lex trying to get a picture of how it was back in the day. You couldn't just hear the music you wanted to when you wanted to unless you bought the record (or tape...) It was very different terms. Sometimes, you'd take a record over to your friend's house just so you could play it while hanging out. A lot of us ended up listening to entire albums, too, not just the hits, because why not? The record is playing, so let it go! We heard some great songs that way. Like this one. i knew a guy who owned one record, and he took it with him everywhere, waiting for a chance to play it. He didn't own a turntable.

Yep…the natural progression for my friends and I was vinyl records and 8-track tapes, followed by cassette tapes (we had to have a tape in the “deck” while listening to the radio station to play our songs and be quick on the “RECORD” buttons - had to press “PLAY” at the same time to make it work!

[@sulufest]

@2:55 On target with that one Brad. Jimmy Page often talked about his “CIA”: Celtic, Indian, Arabic sounds he often integrated into his music. The Gaelic would fall into this category for the Celtic influence.

Kudos to Brad for nailing the content meaning on the first listen! This LP (III) was sometimes marginalized for being 'the acoustic album,' but personally it's a favorite. JPJ really shined, holding down both the bass and the mandolin on this track, for example. Great song!

Brad/Lex, this is bluegrass style (fast country music usually with banjo and mandolins) . Also flamenco (Spanish music) guitar finger picking and fast arpeggios. Also folk rock mix and Celtic/Gaelic rock mixed in. So no more confusing bluegrass with blues (much slower and soulful) , ok? lol

[@lyndoncmp5751]

You left out English folk.

[@mikephillips8810]

Led Zeppelin took some flak for this album. After their first two storming, 'heavy' sounding hard blues-rock, they had some time in the countryside of Wales and wrote many of these more folk/acoustic inspired numbers. Various critics felt they'd run out of ideas but of course it showed the band was versatile and trying other things. And after all, rock and roll didn't come only from blues - it also came from country/folk, which when traced back goes back to English folk, Irish and Scottish folk (the Gaelic that Bred mentioned). I love this song and this album and the more acoustic-leaning songs. There's great footage of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones doing an acoustic part in the middle of a LZ gig at Earl's Court, London, 1975. 20 years later, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page would revisit the acoustic/folk sound for their 'No Quarter' tour. Great stuff.

[@keithjones7390]

Love Led Zep lll, nearly as much as Physical Graffiti!

[@robertevans2450]

I think I bought this album for $3 from Sears. Loved it, would poor hours over reading the information, looking at the album art, and sharing it with friends as invites to bring music would always be a common theme. We carried our music in milk crates or wooden crates we made ourselves. This is and always will be my favorite Zepplin song. It just has it all. To get exposed to music, people would visit and hang out in music stores, looking through the album selection, listening to something over the intercom and if your tastes were outside the norm of that music store, you simply took albums to a listening booth, and with headphones, played the album you were interested in. It was also a poor man's way of getting to listen to music they couldn't afford to buy, much like reading a book in the library instead of buying it or checking it out, you could listen to music in a music store. We also had college radio stations that would play the genre of your interests at some point in the week, going over trending hits, classic staples, and new upcoming possibilities within that genre of music. Whether at work, at home, driving, or out with friends socializing, the radio would be playing, and all would be listening, reacting, and celebrating together. As far as buying music, every town had a music store, and all the big-name stores had a music section. The music stores offered more catering to the music customer, but the availability of hot trendy albums or singles might only be kept up with via the big stores that had more readily available ordering times. Things were more interactive and social back then than today. It is ironic how social media actually makes people less social and less interactive, and less...

Gailic is the very old form of old irish. (and scottish ???). Celtic was known throughout the british isles and beyond.

There was a time when you could pay off the hangman and he might let you go! That's what makes this song funny in an ironic way!

[@r.awilliams9815]

Like When The Levee Breaks, this song was only played live just a couple of times. The album version had JPJ playing bass and mandolin, while Jimmy Page played banjo (the only LZ song ever to feature the banjo) 6 and 12 string acoustic and electric guitar. You can do that in the studio, but doing it live...nah. Not even Jimmy Page is that good. The few times they attempted it live they used electric instruments only.

[@randallfender96]

Music in the 70's was radio, then albums and cassettes. 8 tracks for a bit, but I always hated them because they would break a song in the middle, and you had to wait for the track to change. Garage bands would typically record on cassette, unless they had money for a reel to reel. High end home stereos in the early seventies might have a reel to reel tspe player, but I honestly don't know how much music was availabe in that format. As a teen in the late 70's and early 80's i had a box for my cassettes (like a briefcase) that held about 4 dozen cassettes. And a Hitachi boom box that could play loud enough for music while we played frisbee.

To say all their songs came from early folk songs is a great overstatement.

I remember those days very well, hoping that the new album you bought by a favourite artist was as good as their last. Sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't, if you were really lucky, it could even be better! But a new album was something special and exciting, it was there in your hand placing it on the turntable and listening eagerly to new songs you are really hoping you will love.

[@BoneyWhy]

In those days (1960s turning to the 1970s), FM radio was still just becoming the thing. AM Radio pretty much still ruled even for young folks. Bands like Zeppelin couldn't be played as their songs were too complex and long. It was a beautiful time though! We were used to cut down versions of All Along the Watchtower and White Room etc. Then, with FM Radio, we got to hear whole cuts, even whole albums! I think I just had a contact high with my memories!

Thank you for the reaction. Many different stores sold music. We bought hundreds of albums for $1 and $2 at used record stores in Raleigh. Who remembers the 8track tape display cabinets?

“How did music get dispersed…?” Great question.! FM radio for the most part. DJs had more control of what to play and FM offered the radio format for playing Album tracks and not just popular hits.

[@Incomudro1963]

Your discussion on the buying of records explains part of the reason there was such a loyalty to bands and genres back in the day. Tribalism. You couldn't buy everything, so you had to pick and choose where your album dollars went. This generally (there were exceptions of course) limited, or at least greatly reduced the range of music in your collection. You'd be more likely to buy the latest Led Zeppelin or Who album, than take a risk on something outside of the genre. Likewise, if you listened to dance music, R&B, or disco - you wouldn't be very likely to add a Rush album to your collection. Now, you can listen to anything by anyone at any time. A person can sample all that is out there with no stigma of stepping outside of their tribe.

Love Led Zeppelin. Love Brad & Lex's KZbin Channel :)

[@sirrobin4394]

The buildup in this song always gets me going. Love it.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Radio,word of mouth and spending hours at Korvettes record department trying to figure what zeppelin or stones album to get next. Other ways was having someone turn u on to a great album or record. That's how I learned of the Allman Brothers live at the fill more. I was in 7th grade..1976 and my friend blackie played me stormy Monday, I was an Allman's fan from that moment on

[@stevemee508]

Yes it is gaelic, which comes from the celtic fringe of the UK; It uses a pentatonic scale like blues and was a major influence on the development of bluegrass, so part of the development of American music. .

[@Prone2Thrill]

I love how Lex keeps trying to find stuff Brad likes from Led Zeppelin.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Always amazing!! Jimmy never played a banjo before...but he did here!!

[@Rick-or2kq]

Grew up in that period it was not nearly as primitive as you imagine, average record was $6.00 or 7.00 dollars, then you had cassettes which were about the same and music was played on the radio primarily FM stereo stations..

[@dalmac5978]

In the 70’s 8-tracks ruled. Cassettes became popular a bit later. For the car, of course - every car had an 8-track player. Full albums (LPs) for home.

[@Rick-or2kq]

[@markmcnew8420]

Gaelic you're pretty much right on it

[@eddiemilne4989]

Gallows Pole is a traditional blues song from the South but speeded up with a Country fiddle/mandolin vibe which has its roots in the folk music of Ireland and England..Gaelic is Ireland's official language though mostly English is used,so you're spot on there..

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Gallows Pole is originally an old English folk song. It predates any blues version. 👍

[@eddiemilne4989]

@@lyndoncmp5751 Oh really !..I was 20 when Led Zep covered it and neither my parents or grandparents all English or Irish had never heard the tune or lyrics before despite going to music halls here since the turn of the century..Show me evidence of ANY English version whereas Leadbelly is out there on You Tube singing it in 1940 and you don't pick up Lavender Blue,Over the Hills n Far Away or Going to the Fair or any other English melody in the deep South !..More white supremacist bs..They still have got over the fact that Tomorrow Belongs to Me from the movie Cabaret was written by a couple of Jews rather than a true Aryan..Jeez just content yourself with Horst Vessel Lied,Lili Marlene n whistlin Dixie😉

[@Valorius]

Great song. Like a folksy equivalent to Styx's renegade

[@jeffreymarley6877]

Another good one. Thanks!

[@keithjones7390]

Things were so different 'back in the day' with recording your favourite music, but so much more fun than nowadays!

[@charlietwo13]

'70s were hard times and great times at the same time I was in my teens and twenties during the '70s

[@anthonyheaden9204]

Love both your comments about led zepp. You should listen to Babe I'm gonna leave you. Live in 1969. Brilliant.

[@stewpot6998]

Brad is right!!! Zeppelin III is cooler groove. A summer album. 😎👍

[@geoffb3240]

I'd save up my pocket money or money from small jobs and then buy the album - I bought Led Zep 3 in about 1976 (I was 15) and I still have it. Like others have said they were treasured posessions and we learnt about the music through friends - we'd swap records and buy them if we liked them. (Or tape them!! ;) ). When I got my first real job, I'd buy records more often - now I have about 400 LPs (and countless CDs, which somehow weren't quite the same) and will never part with them.

[@keithjones7390]

I was like a kid in a sweet shop in the 70's buying so many great albums. For me the early 70's was a phenomenal era for music both from USA and the UK.

[@ajmmusic3961]

Back in the 70's my uncles used to record music off of the TV. They would put their tape recorder in front of the television and record from Soul Train and ABS. Any show that played music.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This is a great one by them for sure. Yeah, I would argue that these concerts in the '60s and 70s and for me it would have been the mid to late seventies and into the early 80s, they definitely were much harder than today to coordinate, and to get to and just everything about it without the internet. Or cell phones. But I would say that on the other hand, when you got together at these things, everybody feels this incredible bond even though there could be tons of people there. You're all there for the same thing and it wasn't easy to get there but now you're there and this band is going to come out and totally kick ass and you're going to have a memory to last a lifetime. So much fun.

[@jameslaforce8436]

yesssssss ty

[@PaulyV56]

I still have a collection of 300 albums. They got me through my teens late 70s 80’s And this Is 1 of those albums. I have the entire Zeppelin collection purchased from Caldors 5.99 to 9.99 per album. They doubled as a great reading tool as well. Hours spent spinning vinyl

[@williamweiss6128]

Bonham......my boy!!! Taught me everything.

[@jackgilchrist]

Lex, back in the day we heard music on the radio, as you said, and bought albums. We also shared music with each other, so a lot of what we heard came to us through word of mouth and other people's album collections. When cassettes became popular we copied albums for friends. There was also mail order music clubs like Columbia Records and Tapes or RCA Music Service. They ran ads in magazines or by direct mail where you could choose 7 or 10 or 15 albums for a penny (later a buck I think), on condition you buy a certain number at regular price in the next three years or some such. They didn't keep very good records, though, and many of us joined over and over and basically built decent collections for free, and many people probably never bought the regular price albums they were supposed to buy. I miss those times, but honestly there are pros and cons to both eras. Music was basically curated by the record companies then, so you didn't hear a lot of independent bands unless they became locally popular or ended up signed to a label. Whereas today anyone can publish their own music online, make videos, etc. So you get to hear a lot of stuff you wouldn't have in the 90s and before... but it can be too much, so you can never hear more than a small fraction of it all, and you have to wade through a lot of chaff to find the wheat. Brad, Gaelic refers to the Celtic people and language of Ireland, Scotland and Mann. The original inhabitants of Great Britain were also Celtic, of a different type with different but related language (Brythonic). After the Saxon and Norman invasions they were pushed back to Wales, Cornwall and some left Britain and inhabited an area of France called Brittany (named after the Britons who settled there). The Gauls, the original inhabitants of France and surrounding areas, were likewise Celts. This song isn't specifically Gaelic or Celtic but it does have a definite British Isles folk vibe.

[@heliotropezzz333]

It was possible to bribe a hangman at one time it seems, but this one was savage. This is an old traditional song. Leadbelly did a version in the 1930s, called 'Gallis Pole', though it's roots do sound probably folky.

[@richard_n]

Another great song from LZ3 is Friends, you guys definitely need to react to that one.

[@DanielTaylorOCMD]

When I was trying to learn to play acoustic guitar I always found this song to be just fun to play.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

WARNING!! Brad & Lex,, DEFINITELY Put Your Seatbelts On For This Track & Video!!,, Starcrawler "Bet My Brains" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)

[@bryanhale5254]

So yeah Gaelic that's a language in Ireland it was a native language I think yeah I think it's some kind of an acoustic guitar they just did such a good job of making it or getting a certain room for it to give it that sound cuz it's so cool to have John Bonham just step in with his snare drum and bass doing his bit okay you crazy kids yeah the whole second side of Led Zeppelin 3 is such a treat

[@guttorocha]

its like that creedence song, fortunate son, if you are reach you might dont get draft, or you might get yourself save from the gallows pole

[@it-really-hurts2092]

The MTV Unplugged version of this song is also great.

I live near Gallowstree common...I can only wonder at what went down there... The field is still left bare, to this day...

Speaking of Gaelic… you should check out some Pogues. Maybe “A Pair of Brown Eyes” 👍 🇮🇪

[@billforgie-slippery-jimdigriz]

Gaelic is a set of ancient languages spoken in Ireland and Scotland.👍🏼

[@wayneclendenen2036]

When I was a teen I joined the Columbia record club...They sold vinyl lp's ...When you joined you could select several albums for the price of one or two...You were then required to by several other albums for the regular price within a specified time...I can't remember the exact price, but I think they were between 3 or 4 dollars each unless they were double or triple albums...I was a member for four or five years...What a difference from the way you can get music today...Sometimes the good old days weren't so much...

[@bluesrock1]

Gaelic is an ancient culture, religion and common language from 6 different regions known as the Celtic Nations. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, The Isle of Man, Cornwall, and Brittany in France. Zeppelin used Gaelic themes a few times in their songs.
