[@ronaldelliott4373]

Your now officially a Zeppelin fan. Every true “Zep” fan likes “Boogie With Stu.” Enjoyed the reaction.

[@betsyduane3461]

Basically a remake of Ritchie Valens song "Ooh My Head." Since Valens was dead, his mom was given a composer credit so she would get some royalties. That's why "Mrs. Valens" is listed on the album.

[@glass2467]

It should also be mentioned that Ian Steward was the close friend and pianist for The Rolling Stones in the early days. In fact he co-founded the band.

[@charlesgervais4673]

Stu was Ian Stewart, who played piano on "Rock and Roll". As we all know, Rock and Roll was recorded as a jam session while Bonzo was trying to figure out Four Sticks. I imagine that at some time during that session, while on a break, Bonzo was laying down this simple beat when the rest of the band jumped in and started playing with Stu on piano. (Yes, the piano was out of tune). Tapes were rolling, and here we are. When they were done, Bonzo just kept on going with his simple beat.

[@juliemanarin4127]

👍

[@eugenestandingbear6516]

Ian was mentor to the Rolling Stones.

[@Moosaroo]

Bonzo was actually imitating the intro to Little Richard's Keep a Knockin' but yeah, R n R was spontaneous off the floor.

[@michaell80s]

He also serves as The Stones studio and live keyboardist.

[@henryhartley9993]

Ian Stewart was an original member of the Stones, a very good friend of Jimmy Page, great tune....

[@juliemanarin4127]

I love anything Zeppelin! I don't care what they do! No live version though.

[@triadmad]

While some commenters don't care for this song, it's always been one of my favorites. To each his own.

[@eviekelpie1]

Same for me! I love how it makes me happy and dance. I'd love to choreograph it for my linedancing class

[@kduton1]

Definitely one of my favorites also

[@DrVonChilla]

"Boogie With Stu" and "Black Country Woman" plays as one track for me.....one cannot be separated from the other. That's how I've been hearing it since 1975 and that will NEVER CHANGE. "Physical Graffiti" is arguably the greatest rock album of all-time and CERTAINLY the greatest of the 1970s.

[@trendydelquendy]

Innit! Plant says "nah leave it, yeah" and then the guitar comes in and I properly LOVE the big beat that eventually bonks in

[@thannaske5371]

O Etrigan, you are so CORRECT! GREATEST ROCK ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

The "Stu" is Ian Stewart who plays the boogie woogie piano on this and, if you recall, also plays the piano on Rock And Roll. This song was inspired by the Ritchie Valens song "Ooh My Head", which, itself was a take on Little Richard's song "Ooh! My Soul". Robert even sings "Ooh, my head" in the song. Ritchie Valens' mom was given partial credit because this was basically a cover of Valens' version. Ritchie Valens died in a plane crash in 1959 along with Buddy Holly and Jiles Perry Richardson Jr., also known as "The Big Bopper" (extra trivia, the loss of these three musicians would inspire Don McLean's song "American Pie" and is referenced as "the day the music died"). As mentioned, this came out of a jam session back in the days of recording the 4th album and Robert gave it a working title of "sloppy drunk"; in addition, this song also has the rarity of Robert playing guitar while Jimmy plays mandolin. I love this song, it's a jolly little bit of fun.

[@charlesgervais4673]

👍

[@fday1964]

Glad someone mentioned the Ritchie Valens connection.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Hello Henrie, it’s Ron. I’m so glad I caught this background you’ve shared. (I remain amazed) Two points you could shed light on please. 1) Is that actually Robert on guitar on this recording? 2) I know very little about Ian Stewart, except that he was a highly regarded artist among his contemporaries. Was he a touring musician or a studio pro? Thank, as always, for adding to our body of knowledge. Regards

[@helenespaulding7562]

If Stu was playing piano, Robert guitar and Jimmy mandolin, what in heck was JPJ doing? Or wasn’t he there?

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

@@helenespaulding7562 lol I'm guessing bass? To be honest, I can't find what Jonesy was doing. Maybe bass is there but buried in the mix? I don't know that one.

[@chriscody2778]

This is just The Boys having fun ,With Ian Stewart one of only 3 artists to appear on a Zep track, Aussie Chris 😁 ❤️❤️

[@nathansellers8454]

I’ve always loved this song, it really shows this band musical versatility. Led Zeppelin could take any song and make it sound great. This is a fun song

[@helenespaulding7562]

It’s a mandolin. This is in a genre known as “boogie-woogie”. To me, very close to rock-a-billy. This was American rock and roll from the late fifties into the early sixties snd was part of the sounds all these guys grew up with. So this is a fun throwback to fifties rock. Youve got Ian Stuart playing honky-tonk piano on it…Hence the title “Boogie with Stu”. This was the guys just having fun with a pal in the studio. Robert LOVED this style snd could sing it ‘till the cows came home if you encouraged him 😁 Factoid: the first venture back into music for Plant after he lost Bonzo and Zep died, was to form a group in 1981 called The Honeydrippers. They played small pubs and such in The Midlands. They never let out that Robert was in the band. He wanted to fly under the radar…play small places…see if he still wanted to stay in music. And what they played was 50’s rock and roll in this style. Robert loves this genre and has hundreds, if not thousands of singles in his massive collection. He’s been a guest DJ on BBC radio recently, spinning some of his favorite oldies.

[@stevenrenton1679]

I have a vague memory that the percussion on this one was done by Jimmy Page on a synthesizer. It certainly isn't a regular drum kit.

[@theresacarmen9847]

I love boogie with stu it is a joyous tune by guys who love their work.

[@keninboulder76]

I agree, it is good. No bad songs on this album

[@EchoesDaBear]

Further proof that there is practically every music style on this album!! This is a purely fun track. I'm sure there are some that would pass this off as filler, but for me, this sounds like a band, so comfortable with each other, just jamming with a friend (Ian Stewart on piano) and this boogie-woogie number just pops out - and it's awesome! I can just imagine the smile on Bonzo's face laying down the beat on this, Jones going mad on the mandolin.

[@eviekelpie1]

I told you it'd be different! In my Top 5 of Zep. I play it constantly. I dance and sing to it whilst cooking, driving, doing my hair, anything.

[@redpine8665]

I was listening to this when I was a teen, and my mother heard it and wanted to know who that was. She told me "that's boogie woogie. I haven't heard that in ages!" That was in the 1970's.

[@budo1968]

This is simply a remake of "Ooh, My Head" by Ritchie Valens, but it is really, really cool. And as mentioned here previously, "Stu" is Ian Stewart, a pianist who was one of the founding members of The Roling Stones and was playing piano on this track.

[@randybaker6042]

Another great recording on one of the best albums ever made.

[@tektoniks_architects]

Believe it or not, this song was recorded during sessions for the 4th album.....I guess fitting it between Black Dog and Stairway would have been a little tough to do ....lol. The original title of the song was "Sloppy Drunk ". Jimmy is playing mandolin. Robert is actually playing guitar.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Wow...now I didn't even know that!

[@tektoniks_architects]

Now I'm flattered, Julie! Not easy to find Zep info new to you! Ernie

Hey there, Ernie! 👋

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

This has always been a favorite of mine. I would listen to my Zeppelin albums almost every night before bed as a teen and this one I just about put on every time. I loved it. Still do. It is a fun and fantastic little song. Oh, and if you look you can find fun videos set to the song. Just nonsense stuff but, the dancers and stuff always seems to be set to the song and is great fun.

[@ingibjorggujonsdottir3760]

One of my altime favorite so ground down to earth with Ian Stewart on an untuned old piano

[@pameladesomer6720]

That mandolin is everything!

[@billparis20]

This is basically a cover of Ritchie Valens "Ooh My Head"

[@Frankincensedjb123]

One of my favorite Zep tunes. Short, simple, and sweet. Boogie Woogie Oogie. Love the piano and percussion.

[@marciakozak1267]

Definitely one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Try Bran Y Aur Stomp live at Earl Court 1975.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

It's great not because of boilerplate guitar or composition, but because it's great MUSIC!

[@chiprogers7476]

Stu is in referance to Ian Stewert the fellow playing the piano, boogie style.

[@kentmains7763]

Can you imagine being a fly on the wall during these recording sessions?

[@Kashmir.820]

I love it…Zeppelin having fun!!!!! I’m with you Salvo!!!

[@shaykosovac8722]

Just a little studio jam. Classic 12 bar blues creates an atmosphere for fun.

[@tim6570]

Boogie with stu was recorded in 1970 originally for led zepp III or IV, cant remember exactly, but didn't make it on the album, the guitar was a mandolin.

[@tektoniks_architects]

Correct....4th album. Good catch.

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@tektoniks_architects well…no. There was a guitar AND a mandolin on the track

[@kevinharalson4538]

Zeppelin is turnkey entertainment!

[@jonasoverka3956]

if you listen to the album (any version that is continuous) this also has studio interaction at the end

[@pdlf13]

This song is Zep's take of Ritchie Valens "Ooo my head" , they were actually sued by Ritchie Valens mother for copyright infringement. They settled the suit and listed Valens on the writing credits after that.

[@helenespaulding7562]

What’s weird is that when this came out I didn’t like at all because I never liked boogie-woogie that much Now, listening to it again after MANY years, I LOVE it! What the hell happened? I still don’t like that style in general but I love this. I think it’s that great percussion

[@davidlaw689]

As a 16 year old in 1979 hearing this song for the first time made me a life long Zep fan. In the 1970s they had no equals !

[@cazgerald9471]

This is why "Mrs Valens" was given a writing credit kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56zaISpqsaCebc "Boogie with Stu" because Ian Stewart was jamming with them - it's really just a vamp with Plant channeling "Ooh My Head" lyrics

[@zosometalgod]

Nope no live version of this song! This is what you call boogie woogie saloon music! And that clacking you here is John Bonham using his drumsticks on the rim of his drum set

[@daviddunford8606]

Isn't this album just awesome!

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

Boogie on.

[@stuarthastie6374]

Though Ian Stewart played on Stones records he was never visable live or in group photos.

[@epearc]

Not a bad song on Physical Graffiti, and Boogie With Stu is no exception. It's one of my favorites along with the next song that is probably underappreciated, Black Country Woman.

[@PeterTea]

It’s a fun little ho down, as you say.

[@DaveH111]

Physical Graffiti, to me, is Led Zeppelin's equivalent of The Beatles' White Album. It's a big, beautiful mess. It rambles. I meanders. It's sometimes brilliance captured on accident. I love listening to it in its entirety because it jumps from one genre to the next: country, rock, world, boogie... This is what I imagine they were playing because it made them happy. Makes me happy too.

[@chrishickey7502]

Boogie with Stu is a swipe of Richie Valens “Ooh My Head, (Rock On).” I love what they did with it. But now you’ll see a credit to “Mrs. Valenzuela”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4TYhmB8e6ecnbM

[@jordanpolino9930]

It's a Bluesy funky DANCEABLE song.....

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

Mandolin!

[@joescott8877]

I've always moved and grooved to this fun tune! Yeah, it's a "boppy" side to them , if you will. The older "oldies" music that Plant , especially, loved. That piano banging that Stewart lays down is the STANK! I wish I knew what Bonham was playing/hitting to get that odd/unique "drum" sound. Thanks for the chance to "Boogie With Sal"!

[@johnsample5628]

This is actually a cover of a Richie Valens song... and a great cover it is.

[@helenespaulding7562]

No live version that I know about

[@theOriginal-SukieJones]

I made a w.o.w. vid with my Tauren dancing.. fuuuunnnnn!!!

[@jonasoverka3956]

there is a writing credit to Ritchie Valens, they must have stolen a riff from him whether a guitar lick or a lyric as Ritchie died with Buddy Holly in 1959

[@Allen.Mir3681]

Led Zeppelin covered the late Ritchie Valens, song boogie with stew.. Led Zeppelin made it even better with a lot of rhythm.. unfortunately Ritchie Valens, died in airplane crash along with Buddy Holly, and the Bopper

[@666tubedragon666]

there was no popular song or hit song on this double album set... the whole album was a popular hit...another masterwork...each track was an amazing individual part of the magnificent whole

[@ryanguerra2846]

Listen to Ooh my head by Ritchie Valens that’s the original

[@oldmachinist9236]

I remember waiting for this album to be released, I thought it was their last great album

[@gary6754]

I like this song. Frankly, Whole Lotta Love is probably my least favorite zeppelin song. THere's great elements to the song it would be at the bottom of my zeppelin playlist.

[@Lancelot30]

Same actually

[@anitapaulus937]

Sounds like a mandolin along with the out of tune piano. They were just jamming with Ian Stewart.

Okay, the truth is out. Zeppelin is majestic for sure, but this number really doesn't do it for me. I appreciate they were having fun in the studio, so for that I'm happy for them.

I love the song! There are only 3 songs that I don't care for, and all 3 are on Coda, Ozone Baby, Darlene and Bonzo's Montreaux (not sure if that's spelled correctly), but I still give Darlene 3 stars, all the rest of their catalog gets at least 4 stars, but most of them are 5 star songs
