I think this may be the only Zep song that you’ve been sucked into feeling like you have to play it all through with being able to stop it. That says something wonderful.

[@victorjohnson7512]

Page's bitter sweet guitar solo perfectly matches Plant 's lyrics about a first love, ten years gone...

[@kirkwarburton2277]

Love this song. So freaking gorgeous and poignant. “We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul”. I think it’s up there with The Rain Song in their most beautiful moments. So glad you loved it too!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Range of genres and styles, production, instrumentation, arrangements, musicianship. improvisational and song writing skills .... Zep excelled and exceeded all other bands in all categories. The greatest rock band of all time, bar none.

[@robertjoswald9906]

It's funny how we rank guitarists! I really don't see Page having any real competition from Clapton VH or Jimi. They never created master pieces or had such drama and natural feel in their writing. Page evolved and took chances. He never gets fatiguing. The rest are stuck in a style that's gets rather repetitive and boring. Hats off to Mr. Page.

[@MrBmick79]

To be fair, Jimi "passed" away before he could give us his best album. He had other places to take us that we robbed of. Who knows what the 70's would've sounded like...

[@davidmastro5406]

Jimmy Page was evidently one of the first musicians to experiment with "ambient" recording--e.g., instead of just putting one mic in front of the drums and amps, he used multiple mics, like one in front of the drums and another 20 feet back, and he would record the balance between the two, in an effort to capture the sound of the room. It clearly paid off. Thanks for yet another excellent reaction, gentlemen.

[@tektoniks_architects]

This is yet another major contribution Jimmy Page made to popular music that gets overlooked. His early session work was immeasurable experience in the world of recording and sound engineering that all came together during his Zeppelin days.

[@billb372]

Greatest Rock album of all time, speaks for itself

[@fredyoung9384]

Guys. I started listening to all this in my mid teens and was totally mesmerized and still am. Hands down my favorite band ever. You can hear why.

[@Gunnercoops]

Guys I just love to see how much you’re both into these masters of their trade, the best band ever surely 🤷‍♂️

[@Makai77]

Such a powerful sound in this song, contrasted by the bluesy mellowness. As a Led Zeppelin fan of many, many years, Ten Years Gone reigned as my favorite Zep song for a good period of time. With such a great library, there have been many different favorites over the years...

[@danarchuleta1154]

Wonder how many others think this is a masterpiece! So evocative...takes me back to mid/late 70s. This is one tune that I can't actually put my finger on what is so damn good about this...melody, guitar, lyrics and vocals overall composition together are exponentially better than the parts!

[@randyschwader1202]

Huh?

[@turnsufficient4971]

It's definitely a masterpiece. I was blown away by this song the first time I heard it.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

their best imo ...magical song

[@markcorcoran482]

Love this song. A highlight moment for me is how all four of them are precisely rhythmically in synch on the line “do you ever remember me, baby…” followed by a bit of an instrumental bounce- it’s so wonderfully heavy and light at the same time. Perhaps their apex moment, subjectively speaking.

[@58BURST]

Stupendous! Thanks for not pausing. It makes a huge difference in how a piece of music hits you in the feels! Great reaction again guys.

[@benvenue2730]

So much to say about this reaction! First I want to thank you for your LZ reactions generally. I was maybe a little young to fully appreciate them in the day. I was 15 when I saw them live in Oakland on a fateful day in 1977. Then they were gone and never came back (read about it). So, this music was the soundtrack to our lives. We knew it was good, but we didn’t know why. Rediscovering with you has brought this music back to me with a much deeper appreciation and enjoyment. I watch for your LZ posts. The music and the perfection of these songs is made real through witnessing your experience. It’s a big deal. Thank you.

[@AirplayBeats]

Thank you!!

[@realbser1956]

La/Che, this song just sneaks up from behind and gives you a big beautiful bear hug. Not too tight, not too loose, but just enough to let you know that you can’t escape it. I love the chords from the guitar, light and dark at the same time. Another banger fo sho. ✌️🔥

[@ThiagodMoraes]

Best band ever, period!!

[@TypeOFace]

My brothers I am so anxious for you to proceed into Presence. ❤ Presence is a whole ‘nother level of Zeppelin. Every song has outstanding guitar solos. Every song. Outstanding. I considered it my favorite album of all time for over 40 years, so rest assured you’re fixing to experience some of the heaviest Zeppelin of all. ❤❤❤

[@mikesiddall1837]

It depends on my mood, but if I'm feeling a little melancholy this one hits just right, it never fails to leave me feeling cleaned out and uplifted. One of my all time favourites.

[@paulwebster3417]

My favorite Led Zeppelin song, hands-down!

[@danmayberry1185]

Best song, best album, best band.

[@vickieray]

This is in my top 5 favorite songs by ANY BAND!! 🎸🎤🔥

[@patrickhacault9221]

Very well done guys...!! 👌😉😊 Thank's for sharing your feeling... You are in the Led Zep spirit, 4 genius, timeless music... Like Bach, Beethoven the classic rocker... 🎶🎼🎸🎵😜😍

[@charlieb9428]

Favorite Zeppelin album and Zeppelin song. Absolutely incredible album from start to finish, but side 3 is just on another level to me.

[@garhumpston5495]

So many great tunes from them. Truly the best band ever!! They blow away the Beatles and stones.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yay!! I listen to this one on a loop, over and over. Actually I like playing this and letting it go into the next one, Night Flight, then play those 2 over. They go so well together for me. Glad you loved this one & looking forward to your reaction of Night Flight.

[@donaldblack5892]

My all time favorite Zeppelin Song!

[@garya7893]

One of my favorites from them

[@davidtibbs0701]

The 3 best things my Xwife gave me was 2 incredible big strong handsome strapping sons and Led Zeppelin. I'm sooooo happy 4 U brothers coming n2 the fold. Here in Chicago one of the radio stations has "Get the Led Out" Saturday. OUTSTANDING!!

[@twobeer3316]

I don't want this album to ever end, but I can't wait for Black Country Woman! The first time I listened to this album, it's the song that made the first impression on me.

[@filco755]

I love playing this song on guitar with the dropped D tuning. Soft yet hard . Love all your reactions guys.

[@rodneyfrazer2424]

You know, its unbelievable that they put together their first album, with Page the elder statesman at just 25, Jones at at 23, and only 21 for Bonham and Plant. My God, at 21 I was floating around in circles on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean with no clue what I wanted to do in life, let alone even giving it really much thought! And these guys, right from their first album, rock gods. Ages 21 to 25. Absolutely incredible.

[@davidreilly8888]

Plant and Bonham were 19 when the band got together. By the time they were 20, Zep 1 was out! Just crazy.

[@rodneyfrazer2424]

@davidreilly8888 oops... I never was all that good at math, too much time spent listening to their music instead!😆

[@markharbin9945]

Masterpiece 😮

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

...though their course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea. I heard that decades ago and it still tells me that I'm flowing right.

[@harrylime5715]

Their it is, this and rain song my all time favourite zep songs.

[@unclemeat7310]

Beautiful man, just beautiful.❤

[@TheMerryPup]

Another great reaction! Great to see young people appreciating this great music. Are you guys aware of the book Led Zeppelin: All The Songs? It’s by Jean-Michel Guesdon and Phillipe Margotin. It’s a hardcover and goes in depth on all the songs they ever recorded. A great resource!

[@willyroussel3563]

I never could understand how cords can rock so fing hard, this song wore out my copy of the album.

[@Truth18143]

My favorite song by Zeppelin ❤

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Been waiting for this one . my favorite Zep song ! can't wait to hear what you guys think . I enjoy you two so , so much

[@heltonfalusi9201]

Another masterpiece...led zeppelin always getting better...

[@klasseact6663]

Once again, as always actually, you guys "get it", you feel Zeppelin 👍👍 I can't wait for "The Wanton Song" to 🥁🥁🥁

[@anitapaulus937]

This song takes me somewhere. A bit of the past, and thinking about the future. It’s a nice ride either way.

[@blitzd634]

Just keeps getting better and better as you go

[@brianvigneau2074]

Thanks for sharing my "If I were stuck on an island" song.

[@brianvigneau2074]

Rivers always reach the sea... Until they turn into a creek!

[@ramonalfaro3252]

Ten Years gone and Rain song are perfect!!!

[@tektoniks_architects]

To make it a love trilogy, I would throw Thank You in there.

[@MrJhbart001]

This song captures the emotion of time passing and love lost. Jimmy Page at his very best. A masterpiece

[@tompahlgooglesucks]

Hands down, favorite Zepp song

[@georgeveenstra6894]

Never has been a better guitar composer ever. The layers and sound are unmatched.

[@cdnpicker]

It was interesting when this came out, it was so different to what preceded it, took some getting used to. I now think it’s their masterpiece. There aren’t many double albums this strong from start to finish.

[@nash1328]

Though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea. ❤

[@JoeandAngie]

Our song since 1989 Edit: hooked on yall's reactions. Concise, insightful and honest. Boom.

[@melissaford717]

This album reminds me of my 2 friends of mine during my teenage years growing up in Philly back in the 80s, Ruthie & Bobby. Neither are walking on planet Earth, but they live in songs and this album😢🙂

[@kima.4268]

One.of their best!

[@ptrlxc]

Loved the song so much I learnt how to play it on guitar. Awesome song, awesome album.

[@martinruffell9696]

Always nice to watch younger people get Led-ucated. Led Zeppelin have pretty much been the sound track to my life. Enjoy your journey.

[@monicav2600]

Love watching you all react to these songs! 😊

[@anthonypeterson5408]

Love this one a lot one of my favorite tunes

[@genecase9464]

"Though thier course may change sometime, rivers always reach the sea". No matter what you do, where you go, how you get there or how much money you have you're gonna end up 6 feet under. Just like everybody else. Gruesome but true.

[@thomasmoroney1079]

I’m back in my childhood bedroom and Mom is yelling……TURN IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

[@TreeFrogWillow]

This song is so beautiful and heartfelt . Jimmy’s solo on this always gives me chills

[@michaelfried3123]

More Led for your head, thank ya guys!

[@arnoldcox9128]

The groove was so good

[@justjack0715]

I've always wondered if the girlfriend knows it's her in this song, and if she regrets giving him the ultimatum? 😂Criminally underrated tune! One of their finest. Well done gentleman! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@alberttiii]

This is their greatest song.

[@jazzyboy7784]

Great job as always fellas.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

Page's Guitar overlays on this song are STUNNINGLY BRILLIANT ! What a master of using the studio technology of the day .

[@petermorgan5303]

Been waitin for you guys to react to this one. Great song

[@markf.8144]

Great reaction guys! "Ten Years After" has always been my favourite Led Zeppelin song. A song that can stir up some emotions.

[@Jimmy2time]

Also Robert showing why hes rock number 1 all time

[@Michael-Philip]

Can't wait 'till you guys here the Presence and In Through The Out Door albums.

[@Cpayne30]

Their best song ever!!

[@dougwalker3333]

If this song isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

[@AirplayBeats]

😂

[@jeffmaltby6185]

Epic Album !! 👍✌🤟

[@miked3087]

I've been waiting for this one

[@davidreilly8888]

One of their best compositions. Period

[@paulbewlay4527]

I was glad to hear you mention the production...the arrangement as well probably makes this my favorite off this album. I guess when you get technically awesome, that's the obvious next step; how you put it together. Led Zeppelin were masters at this.

[@JohnnyROCK65]

Best Zeppelin song. Shame most people don’t know it.

[@captjeter2]

great guitar solo by Mr. Page

[@richardthomson3757]

This is an incredible song. I've been looking forward to seeing your reaction to it.

[@martinoulthwaite7327]

Be prepared for the last side, it's very different. But then, it is Led Zeppelin! Love to all across the pond.

[@JLALALALA]

Masterpiece

[@25zepp]

The Ultimate Unit 👅

[@philcannistraci9560]

Excellent song. you gentlemen clearly know great music, regardless the era. Is that The Dark Side of The Moon album in the background?

[@THGL01]

Correct me if I’m wring, but I think this is the first song y’all listened to straight through. You got in that Zeppelin zone and just rode it until the end! 🤘

[@AirplayBeats]

I think you’re right from the comments I’ve been reading.

[@tomtompkins7546]

Look up a video about the miking technique that they used on John Bonham's drums. Three microphones. One for the kick drum, and two overheads placed asymmetrically. Greatest drum sound of all time.

[@michaeldinsen7641]

IMO their best track

[@owenball7218]

This is a beautiful song. Zeppelin made alot of beautiful music tho. This one, by yourself, in the dark, middle volume, a cold beer and you find yourself reflecting on your life.

[@MichaelRivera-ns2dd]

Amazing!

[@dbclassic8733]

You don't have to love every song on this album but there's a different song on this album that everyone will love guaranteed

[@vicprovost2561]

One of their best songs on an album full of them. I remember guitarists saying Page is so hard to cover on this, with the multi track guitar singing to the heavens. One side to go, happy listening! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@darrend6095]

Most non Zeppelin fans inly know the 3 radio sings stairway..rock and roll ...black dog...if they heard these Zeppelin best they would be floored

[@Mike-rk8px]

My parents HATED hard rock music, and they really hated the high pitched screams Robert Plant was capable of. One day I put “Ten Years Gone” on my stereo system with my bedroom door open, not realizing that my parents had come home. Halfway through the song my mother came into my room and looked like she was going to cry, and said “Who is this, it’s so beautiful!” When I told and handed her the Physical Graffiti album she totally shocked.

[@AW11-e4h]

Page showing his skills on this🤘🤘

[@stevewalsh4850]

They don’t make music like this any more, not taking away from todays artist, but, they just don’t, great era to be a teenager was the late 60’s and 70’s 😎

[@blitzd634]

Smoke a few and listen to it again

[@AirplayBeats]

We did

[@steadfastneasy26]

@Airplay Beats I'm 61 years old and I'm just now noticing this about the Physical Graffiti album cover ....... ..... if you start at the inside of the arches on the top of the building then proceed over them in each direction and then follow down the sides of fire escapes to the steps of each one that point inward, to the center point of the pillar in the middle above the trash cans, it makes a vague shape of a heart. ....... just sayin' ....... This is easily one of their most compelling songs. If this don't tug at you then you are dead inside.

[@tektoniks_architects]

You should be aware that the actual building used for the cover of the album is a tenement building on the West Side of Manhattan, and it actually has one more floor on the building than the album cover shows. The photo was edited and one floor removed to make the building fit the square shape of the vinyl album.

[@JLALALALA]

@@tektoniks_architectsit doesn’t take away what he mentioned and what is obviously there on the album cover - whether by design or not. ❤

[@jameswatson6720]

Yup as grea

[@8DecadesLife]

The major production change you hear on this album is the much greater use of multiple guitar & keyboard tracks. I believe this song had 4 or 5 different guitar tracks overlaid.

[@Jimmy2time]

We need that Black Sabbath snowblind . For the people

[@antarcticorb9197]

Bravo, you didn't pause once!
