It’s amazing how music and art speak to us uniquely in the different stages of life. A really good reflection of where you were vs where you are. Glad to hear everything is coming up Mulhouse! Great video and welcome back!

I think you hit the nail on the head…I ordered steak and got fish wtf! The American fans (who at the time were mostly young adults) wanted heavy and got folk, as you get older you appreciate the musicians and the balls to pull that genie out of the bottle! Enjoyed the review and the flashback…Eddy spoken like a true modern 21 century schizoid man!!

Great video...III has always been my favorite 2nd favorite as well (right behind Physical Graffiti of course). AND I think it's great you've gone full circle on the ending of the album! I've always loved where the album leads, and honestly I was thrown in your original video (though that being said the original video is outstanding). AND fuck yeah Revolution 9, I couldn't agree more, I think the Revolution 9/Good Night ending is kind of the ultimate move in brilliant album sequencing, and the capper of their crowning achievement. So, needless to say excited for you to do more Beatles videos. But anyway back to III, those last two songs heighten and intensify what the album had been leading to, and tie in with the artwork in an abstract but really satisfying way. The whole thing is just such a complete and fully realized work of art. Also, and it might be weird for me to say this, but I am really proud of you for making this video. It's a long and hard process to re-claim yourself, and many weaker men (and women) use it as an excuse instead to (paraphrasing George Clinton) descend to their lowest concept of themselves. But you have had, and will continue to have the fortitude to move forward. It's hard. I know. I re-built from rubble after my divorce. So, this is great. It's great to feel. It's great to be back in touch with parts of yourself that had you to turn off as a necessity. And it just keeps flowering. I'm nearly 7 years out from my day in court and I'm STILL re-claiming parts of myself. So, it takes courage & guts which I always could tell you had. So, great video, an important video, keep fighting, keep on rocking, and I will always be excited to check out what you do next. That shot of albums you want to talk about looks great!!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment, my good friend and brother. Thought you'd like my reappraisal of the White Album and Led Zep III's ending tracks. 😉 And yeah: like I said in the video, this one was actually highly cathartic and important to me. There's an even deeper and more personal subtext thanks to a section I decided to edit out because it was a little too personal for KZbin, but I'll reveal it to you tucked away here in a comment: "Since I've Been Loving You" was me and my ex wife's song. So by no longer making the song just about sex -- like I was doing while working through my divorce -- and finally re-embracing the romanticism of it and the album on a whole, I'm pretty much opening myself to love again (even though it hasn't happened yet). If you recall, even just a couple months ago when I did the Motown episode of the RAOYP with Ian Wadley, I was the "anti love song" guy and focused on songs about ballin' and urban hustle. It took me nearly two years, but I finally reclaimed "Since I've Been Loving You" and romanticism on a whole. I also appreciate what you said about me reclaiming myself without regressing as a human being. That's actually a very conscious thing on my part. I think it's important to keep building on your life and growing, even when you're taking certain figurative steps backward: meaning just because you're going back to feeling a certain way you felt in the past, doesn't mean you ARE the person you were in the past. It's about adding the right shade here and taking away another shade there and maybe one day when your time is up on this world, your life will be as perfectly realized as the Led Zep III album cover and song sequencing.

I put Presents all the way at the bottom. Coda is the worst. But that dont count. I don't hate Presence. But I like all the other the most. Physical Graffiti is my favorite as well. Then Houses of the Holy, Zep 4 and then 3. Over all all Zeppelin albums rule. Except for Coda. Great video!

@EdwinCannistraci 8 ай бұрын

Thanks as always, Ralph. I love Presence, but like I said in the video, I only initially ranked it so high because of the place I was at in my life. As great as it is, it's definitely not on par with the first 6 albums. My ranking today would be: 1.) PG 2.) III 3.) Houses of the Holy (which I also ranked too low in that original video) 4.) II 5.) I 6.) IV (only because of burnout factor like Sabbath's Paranoid) 7.) Presence 8.) In Through 9.) Coda (which I agree is their worst but I still dig it).

I’ve gotta admit I’m not too crazy about the old Eddy. I prefer the friendly new Eddy. Great review. I obviously love 3 too. You should do your entire Zeppelin ranking over again…now that you’re clear headed. You do a good job. Cheers ✌️

Love the shots fired at Rolling Stone magazine. My dad let me borrow his old issues from the late 60's and early 70's. One of the only bits I liked were the angry reader letters, one person wrote in and said "If I went with your record reviews I'd have the most piece of shit record collection ever" and another said "I wouldn't use your magazine to wrap my fish!"

Thank you so much, Edwin for the namecheck Re: George Michael's appraisal of Zep's lascivious swagger. Not just the histrionic horniness of 'Whole Lotta Love' or 'Black Dog' but tracks like the wistful 'Down by the Seaside' have a post coital drowsiness.

My pleasure and George Michael knew what he was talking about: Led Zep made some of the sexiest rock n roll ever...!! 🔥
