You are just getting into the meat of this album. Just gets better as the songs go on!! Get the Led out!!💪🏼💪🏼

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Some songs are great, but all are solid. Each adds its own flavor to the overall effect of Physical Graffiti

[@jenniferfoster1692]

You took the words right out of my mouth! Getting to the meat now.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Guys, Just a reminder. After hearing “Kashmir”… There is a live performance from 2007 that will blow y’all away. Live from Celebration Day and, Bonzo’s son, Jason on the drums.

[@hampyonce]

"Wanton Song" got played about 17 times in a row when I got this album. It is a hard rock masterpiece and a drum clinic.

[@workingman6681]

I loved this song so much, my daughter plays drums and had here play it the night she performed at NAMM for Alesis drums!🎵🥁

[@DaisyChain3339.]

That was the first song I heard them sing live in 1977. Plant came out like the Golden Viking God he is and ripped the roof off.

[@xfishnutzx]

When they turn up that guitar about three quarters of the way through? Chills to this day.

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Dude YES, Wonton Song is my ALL time Fave Zeppelin song! Killer Riff, Killer Drums, you name it. That and No Quarter...🙌👏

[@MagnusOpite34]

Crazy how a throwaway song from the previous album MADE the Album a lot of us consider the best album

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Great observation!

[@DC-ih8bv]

Robert increasing the tension of the song in every verse..he’s so so good here.

[@davidmastro5406]

The fact that this was a "throwaway" track that didn't make it on to the album of the same name is yet another indicator of how great Zeppelin were--songs they initially considered substandard ended up being beloved by their fans. "Houses of the Holy" has one of the catchiest riffs in Rock.

[@timcardona9962]

Eh...I can totally see this being left off. Its a good riff but not great "One of the catchiest in rock"....I mean you could say this about a hundred other songs lol

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

I wouldn't consider it a "throwaway"; it wasn't used on the HOTH album because Jimmy thought it sounded too similar to music already there, like Dancing Days.

[@sebastianblack6506]

To me, this is the epitome of a straight ahead rocker. It's not overly fancy, but it does everything that Zep does well; a crunchy riff, Plant's vocals hitting those screechy notes, and bass and drums laying the sturdy foundation. Always loved this one from the first second I heard it.

[@moonclip8646]

Experimentation is coming fellas. “In the Light” is gonna grab your brain transport you to a different dimension take you on a journey and set you right back down where you started listening. JPJ will frighten you with this one. Haunting.

[@carol-mariefleming8689]

For me, Plant is the hero here. His vocals get more interesting as song goes on. Everyone else's performances are stellar but Plant made this song relevant with his cool choices, especially at the end of the song..."let me take you, take you to the movies, let me take you take you to the show.." subtle things but cool choices. Thanks again guys. #airplaybeats

[@Greg-io1ip]

Plant can ignore the cadence of the rhythm and Jimmy's amazing licks. He sings in spots other singers wouldn't, while the licks are still happening. He's literally another musical instrument. That's unusual. Chaka Khan and Aretha among others used themselves that way. Al Green, Glenn Hughes on and on. But Robert Plant is arguably the best of them knowing where to sing the lyrics and where to fill with a wail or groaning grunt etc. Impressive body of work. Led Zeppelin is not much without Plant to be honest.

[@leemcclements8889]

Plant is always the hero! My favorite singer...ever!

[@stevious7278]

This double album just gets better as you work through it. Really looking forward to "Boogie With Stu". A long way to go before that one. Keep 'em coming guys. ✌from Australia

[@vernhoke7730]

This album is compromised of 8 new songs written primarily for the new record. They had 5 songs leftover from Zeppelin III, Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy that are included on the double album. It came out in early '75 when i was a junior in high school and quickly became my favorite Zeppelin album.

[@williamlovett619]

Can't beat that groove

[@ericanderson8886]

Favorite song on the album. Love the riff, the drums, the vocals. Didn't know it was supposed to be on the one before.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Yeah, the previous album is called, Houses of The Holy.

[@willyroussel3563]

How can you not know that?

[@APAL880]

​@@willyroussel3563 I didn't always know that. I thought that they just gave it the same name as the previous album which seemed pretty cool to me.

[@27thangel23]

Smoke? That would be 'Trampled Under Foot' LIVE Earls Court, 1975 if we're talking groove. Enjoy! Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.

[@robertwheatley9153]

All-time favorite album by anyone. Judas Priest singer Rob Halford best summed it up about this band in 3 words: "Zeppelin went everywhere" (musically). The musical range of this band is certainly among the best ever.

[@juliemanarin4127]

And he was right!

[@taylorham9532]

but let’s not forget the cousin Black sabbath who had their passports filled AND wrote all their songs unlike some bands ik…

[@Bekka_Noyb]

My fave Zeppelin song! ♥

[@chrishoffman2489]

Their experimentation was done live - same songs, but so different onstage with more ad libbing, longer solos, etc. After you've done the studio albums you should def check out 1973 Madison Square Garden performance. 🤩 🤯

[@darrylbennett4297]

I read that Page kept this one off of the album it was named for because it was too similar to Dancing Days. Considering there are half a dozen tracks on this double album that didn’t fit with their original timelines is crazy, because it sounds cohesive. I absolutely love this album and I am forever indebted to this band. Also you can smoke to this whole album 😂

[@AirplayBeats]

Hey Darryl. You won our 20k sub prize of $100. Please email us so we can get your prize to you.

@@AirplayBeats Thank you very much! Can I ask you a favour? I would love if the money was given to an arts school in your area or buy a kid an instrument that you guys know. I’m a middle aged guy who works in the arts and I would love to see that cash go to a school or a kid or class that could use a leg up. Keep on rocking keep on making music and I’ll keep watching and appreciating your journey.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Solid tune. Not one of their best on the album, but ya know what? There are no bad songs on the album, nor few bad Zep songs, period. Physical Graffiti: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The collective effect of the album is just off the charts. Zep, the greatest rock band to ever touch down on earth.

[@sherimay1957]

JPJ rock steady throughout, Bonzo & Jimmy playing off each other just abangin❤️

[@JimmyRJump]

The whole "Physical Graffiti" album sounds as if Led Zep finally gathered their leftovers and trials that were at the time deemed too heavy or too experimental and worked on them and said "Fickanzeria it, let's put the lot on an album". I have over a hundred Zep bootlegs with studio trials and jams from all of their albums and there's a lot of stuff going on in their earlier jams that ended-up on "Grafffiti" in some form or other. To very good effect indeed. Cheerio lads, always a pleasure.

[@jaydubya3698]

It's always been interesting to me that each of the LZ albums have sort of an "identity" to them, but because of the "everything bagel" quality of it, 'Physical Graffitti' doesn't feel musically like it speaks one language. 'Coda' is the other album like it, but isn't nearly as good. That being said, the cover does tell you what it's about: a building of many rooms where different things are going on. I remember listening to the album in college in the early 80s and being sort of lukewarm to it: it felt, for some reason, like Jimmy Page heroin music or something like that. But now I think otherwise. It's a great, great album in its diversity and reach.

[@48mastadon]

I don't know why but I like hearing that female voice say, "Airplay Beats" during your intro.

[@nehemb]

Loving your reactions to Zeppelin. I've been listening to them for decades, and aside from getting a kick from watching people listen to them for the first time, your insights into the music are brilliant - most people almost forget about JPJ due to his stellar bandmates, but perhaps because you're coming in cold, with no preconceptions about the band members, and just listening to the music you catch just how great he is. Keep up the good work! If you could do some more Jethro Tull reactions then I'd be even more happy!

[@suesebree8670]

Yes...JETHRO TULL, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[@willo8794]

Another excellent Zeppelin tune. These guys were awesome.

[@deaniegarcia5694]

Insightful reactions, as is your standard. I have this original vinyl still, even after 50 years, still groovin! Burned many to this one!

[@cynthiasmith5144]

I have all there Vinyl Albums. First heard LED Zeppelin through my grandpa his favorite sone was Tangerine so I inherited his Albums and I’m 58. Gpa worked for the railroad when I was just a lil thing and me Gpa n Gma I would spend summers with and when he was home. We would go on country cruises in his Cherry Red Mustang and me and Gpa would pull over and me n Gma would get out and pick wildflowers and he would let me roll his buglar cigs. This was in the early 70s. I just wonder sometimes what he was doing in car while me n Gma was picking wildflowers. Keep in mind that he was my Grandpa. I suspect he was in the car smoking a joint. Dude it all adds up 😂🤤✌️

[@stacypollock6429]

This band will go over like a lead balloon.

[@michaelfried3123]

These guys are slaying it by getting the Led out!

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Guys, you seem a little baffled by this record so far..?? I get it though, it's a LOT to take in. It's their "White Album" for sure, SO many different styles. But I think once you step back and look at it as a whole, you will see the genius! You can "blaze one" to this ENTIRE record haha...I know I did back in the day!

[@kevinharalson4538]

This song & the Rover were recorded in 1972. That was a couple albums back but were left off them for not being a good fit. Cool how these songs that were recorded years ago fits in so well on this album!

[@quarkwrok]

Just under 54 minutes of this double album were recorded during January-February 1974, so chronologically that's yer Physical Graffiti album. In the order they appear on the album: Custard Pie In My Time of Dying Trampled Under Foot Kashmir In the Light Ten Years Gone The Wanton Song Sick Again their

[@realbser1956]

LZ is the gift that just keeps on giving. More great songs yet to come. Thanks for continuing to give props to JPJ.

[@xfishnutzx]

Oh it changes up gents. Side one was “solid rock” - a popular 70’s radio term. If you were into heavier guitar Zep, side one fit the bill perfectly. Things switch up with different stylings the rest of the way. There’s a reason why this Album is arguably considered their best. It ages like a fine wine. Great job as usual fellas. Thanks. 🙏

[@dogtownczar]

The 1st time I was introduced to mary jane the dude was played "No Quarter." What a ride; want a trip! Forever a Led Zeppelin fan from that evening on. Didn't smoke any more back then, for I was pursuing a football scholarship in HS.

[@moonclip8646]

Take a sip, spark the flower and turn down the lights because “In the Light” is coming. Haunting by JPJ.

[@benjamanbrecher8531]

Spot on

[@cazkain]

Best reaction guys on internet, houses of the holy, trampled underfoot and kashmir, it is the greatest side of any lp in history!!!

[@kraig7777]

I was in high school when this came out (in So Cal so of course we smoked to it that's a given) but this was great on 8 track in my 69 GTO driving around Newport Beach back around 1975. We didn't live there but we partied there in the summer that's for sure lol. This was just a great album when you were young on a sunny day at the beach with the windows rolled down and the stereo turned up. When you drive by people and they grin and yell at you to turn it up you know it's cool back then.

[@Krust_Acean]

So, I think this a good time to bring this up. LZ only recorded an albums worth of material for Physical Graffiti. The other half are unreleased material from years past. The reason for this is that Plant had vocal surgery and lost the ability to sing in his higher register. They feared it would be too drastic a change for the audience, so they mixed in the unreleased songs. I have a list of previous unreleased and new music. It's funny, because if you exclude the old songs, it's a really solid single album

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

According to Jimmy, "We had enough stuff for one and a half LPs so we figured we'd put out a double and use some of the material we had done previously but never released, like "Boogie With Stu".

[@sharonf9694]

Cannot wait for yall to get to In Through The Out Door... my personal fave 😊

[@leemcclements8889]

Mine too! It's so different. I remember doing some traveling cross country back in the 80s with a tape player and 3 or 4 cassettes. In Through The Out Door was one of them. I know every word to every song. It got me through the long bus trip from east to west and back again!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yes, I love that album so much. The whole thing played from beginning to end is incredible, although I could do without Hot Dog, but oh well, lol.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Many different types of songs on this album! Like most of them! You have so many great ones coming!!

[@vincentcorrigan5209]

Another ALL TIME Fav..(besides InMyTime O.D...) Coming up on side 3. Ten Years Gone ! Epic ballad.. Love it.. and all are smoke worthy!

[@markkushba1335]

I am a 64 year old white dude who stumbled upon you guys by accident and what a wonderful pleasant surprise the two of you are. Watching the two of you enjoy some of the music I grew up listening too is refreshing. I could go on but I won't. I want to suggest 3 bands for the 2 of you check out. 1) ELP, Emerson, Lake and Palmer. 1973 album called Brain Salad Surgery. 2) ELO, Electric Light Orchestra. Songs to listen too and videos to watch include Mr. Blue Sky, Telephone Line, Evil Woman and Don't Bring Me Down. There are live videos of ELO you must watch. 3) Mr. GARY Clark Jr. Gary Clark Jr is a very talented flat out great guitar player, someone I stumbled upon about 10 years ago. Some of his songs include "When My Train Pulls In", If Trouble Was Money, Bright Lights. Again there are live videos out there on Gary Clark Jr. If you haven't heard of these bands look them up.

[@dhfenske]

I've been trying lately to hear associations between this albums' songs and the songs on the previous albums from the years these songs were recorded. I don't think I've come up with much, and I think that may be because Zep created such a variety of musical styles in their work after their first two albums that everything just sounds like Zep. Anyway, I made these lists so I thought I'd post them in case anyone else is interested. Track Title Past Assoc Album Rec Year 1 Custard Pie 1974 2 The Rover Houses of the Holy 1972 3 In My Time of Dying 1974 4 Houses of the Holy Houses of the Holy 1972 5 Trampled Under Foot 1974 6 Kashmir 1974 7 In the Light 1974 8 Bron-Yr-Aur Led Zeppelin III 1970 9 Down by the Seaside Led Zeppelin IV 1971 10 Ten Years Gone 1974 11 Night Flight Led Zeppelin IV 1971 12 The Wanton Song 1974 13 Boogie with Stu Led Zeppelin IV 1971 14 Black Country Woman Houses of the Holy 1972 15 Sick Again 1974 Chronological order: Track Title Past Assoc Album Rec Year 8 Bron-Yr-Aur Led Zeppelin III 1970 9 Down by the Seaside Led Zeppelin IV 1971 11 Night Flight Led Zeppelin IV 1971 13 Boogie with Stu Led Zeppelin IV 1971 2 The Rover Houses of the Holy 1972 4 Houses of the Holy Houses of the Holy 1972 14 Black Country Woman Houses of the Holy 1972 1 Custard Pie Physical Graffiti 1974 3 In My Time of Dying Physical Graffiti 1974 5 Trampled Under Foot Physical Graffiti 1974 6 Kashmir Physical Graffiti 1974 7 In the Light Physical Graffiti 1974 10 Ten Years Gone Physical Graffiti 1974 12 The Wanton Song Physical Graffiti 1974 15 Sick Again Physical Graffiti 1974

[@metaphoria3]

One of my og fav Zep tracks

[@kirkwarburton2277]

Yes this song is just Zep continuing great rock grooves, with a catchy pop element - they perfected it. The next track, Trampled Underfoot, is very Stevie Wonder influenced and Kashmir after that is a different ball game. I think because Physical Graffiti is such a long album by their standards, it has a lot of ‘standard’ Zep rock grooves mixed in with other styles that come later. They could have boiled it down to 8 different tracks and made it more different overall but they had quite a few tunes ready to go so they included it all.

[@pcariola1]

Don’t worry this album is explore. They just play with you then will blow your mind

[@katamedo5703]

The next cut is the BEST cut. Trampled Under Foot 🔥🔥

[@Lwize]

I bought this album in 1975 with baby-sitting money. It wasn't until the advent of Wikipedia where I learned Physical Graffiti was a grab bag for new and "old" material. I always thought it was just their next album...

[@bluesrock1]

This entire album was put together from previous album sessions that for some strange reason didn't make the cut. It's odd because to me this is their best album!

[@jmar7631]

Eight of the songs were completely new, seven were previously recorded but weren't included on albums 3-5 for various reasons, some of which was vinyl was just limited on space, or for some reason the band didn't feel the song fit the rest of the "feel" of the albums. The eight new songs ran longer than two sides but instead of cutting any of them out like they did on previous albums when they ran out of space, they decided to make a double, which was the perfect time to include other songs that hadn't yet made it onto an album.

[@ML-un1oi]

As always fellas great reaction. Much appreciated 🙏

[@tannonwraith4692]

Now yer getting the Led out!

[@briancullen9575]

You bring up an interesting point at the end of this video. On all the Zep albums that came before this one, they seemed to jump around to various styles of music, but on this one, they don’t jump around as much. The band developed their sound on all the previous albums and here became comfortable being themselves, which is a combination of all those styles.

[@jmar7631]

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. The songs on this album include blues, hard, progressive, gospel and folk rock, as well as funk and rock and roll.

[@williamdavis600]

You guys can play all 4 sides of that double album. It's just one great song after another.

[@jlovebirch]

This came out in 1975 (not the late 70s) and has many leftover songs from earlier sessions going back to 1971.

[@tektoniks_architects]

The next song is one of their greatest, and their live take at Earl's Court 1975 is another for the "to do" pile.

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction gents! To be honest - this whole album is one you smoke weed to!! And when the peak hits, you get to Kashmir...which segues into In The Light - then you're tripping! (not that I've EVER tried this...wink, wink) Physical Graffiti had so many moods, vibes and sounds - but it all meshed into one masterpiece of an album - perfectly! Can't wait to hear more!

[@cynthiasmith5144]

In Through The Outdoor was last Album and talk of another one coming out ❤🎉

[@chaosandcreation4118]

The wikipedia page to this album gives all the details for recording dates. It came out late (jan 1975) because of the cover art, but the tracks were all recorded between 71-74. This didn't make the cut of the Houses album because they thought it sounded too much like other better songs like D'yer Maker or Dancing Days. PS having bought it when it came out and seen the tour in 1975 we smoked to ALL the tunes!!!!! LOL It was the age of albums not Spotify. An ALBUM meant something back then. FM radio was the shit. AM was for superficial fans who bought 45's (singles)

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I always thought that the album "Houses of the Holy" had a specific sound of its own, but that this song sounds more of a piece with "Physical Graffiti" songs like "Trampled Underfoot" and "Custard Pie". Some of the songs sound like they were recorded at other times; not this one...

[@terenzo50]

Released in February 1975.

[@davidreilly8888]

Trampled Underfoot next! A funk rock masterpiece!

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

I'd say this is just a simple rock'n roll song, so not late, but early. The experimentation comes later on this album: Kashmir, In The Light...

[@alanstrom2221]

I love the way Jimmy Page can play 4 Guitar parts simultaneously. He must have 12 arms. Jimmy could play Rhythm & Lead at the same time. It's one of those music miracles. When they played LIVE there were giant holes in their sound because Jimmy could only play one Guitar. One of my saddest discoveries of my teen years in the 70's was hearing Zeppelin LIVE. Bands with 2 Guitarists sound much better. Zeppelin were a great studio Band with their multi-tracking and over dubs. I really respect Bands that record LIVE in the studio.

[@booboo8577]

Y'all shouldn't be making these definitive statements about this album just yet. You think they don't experiment anymore? Just wait. You've done 4 out of 15 songs. There's a lot left to hear.

One of my favorite Page riffs. And, according to Page, they didn't put it on Houses of the Holy because it didn't fit. That is, it didn't have the same vibe as the other tunes on Houses. I agree. It fits much better on Physical Graffiti.

Oh it gets experimental. This one could be compared to The White album from The Beatles in that that they just threw all kinds of stuff on it. With time different songs will rotate as your favorite if you keep listening (but that's kind of the case with all songs by great bands). The Rover is one of my first songs I learned full on guitar because it fit whole on acoustic with a cool solo, in high school like 10 years ago. Zeppelin is just the essence of rocknroll.

That's something about early Zeppelin...they didn't do many songs you could dance to. Those full stops and long breaks made it really awkward, or just plain stupid. But then, I never was much of a dancer anyways... :)

No, they didn't, and they never intended to. ;)
