speaking of Church John Paul Jones was briefly an organist and choirmaster at a church, before Led Zeppelin. Definitely explains his incredible keyboarding abilities. mow that I'm thinking about it, my Episcopalian Cathedral is searching for a choir master and organist. I wonder.

[@boki1693]

Physical Graffiti is my favorite album by them. The building on the cover of that album is an actual building in the Alphabet City part of Manhattan. Not far from Chinatown and Little italy. It's still there today. It's called that because all the avenues have letters for their names. While not from there originally, Madonna was living there when she first became famous. This song is a reworking of an old Robert Johnson song from the 30's. The song is comparing a woman to a car and the car's parts.

Custard Pie, also on Physical Graffiti, is funky as well. Physical Graffiti is one of their best albums. Custard Pie, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, Houses Of The Holy, Ten Years Gone, In The Light, The Rover, etc. All great songs. Like Amber said, groups from that era just wrote music. They didn't box themselves in with one style, they just wrote. Bands like The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Clapton with Cream verses Clapton as a solo artist. Hell look at Billy Joel and diverse catalog of songs. From like the mid 60's up until the beginning of the 80's, groups and artists just wrote whatever came to them. The 80's everyone started going to their own corners and categories and segregating themselves off into certain genres. Great reaction ;-)

[@GregCombs100]

You guys talk about how each were incredible musicians, and that's right on target. Over the years, though, the matchup that Page talks about that really made this band were Bonham and himself. Not taking anything away from Plant or Jones at all, but when Page first played with Bonham (who was brought in by Plant who had played with him in a previous band), he knew that was it. When a guitar player and drummer just click, and can read each other perfectly while playing, you have magic. That's one reason why Led Zeppelin couldn't really continue after he died.

[@howardosden3112]

I'd count this among my top three favorite Led Zep songs.

[@mattiefee]

I was introduced to this song at 11 years old in the early 90s. This was one year before I started playing guitar. I can remember bouncing around in the living room like a goofball vibing to these riffs. It made a musician out of me!

Hey, Jay, Amber, for a complete change of pace with Led Zeppelin, I'd like to recommend you check out The Battle of Evermore. It's off the same album (IV/untitled) as Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks and Misty Mountain Hop, which you've reacted to. The Battle of Evermore is acoustic, no drums (with the guitar and mandolin driving the beat), and Sandy Denny provides vocals along with Robert Plant (one of the few instances where they use musicians outside the band). Also recommend that you have lyrics on hand as there are several references to Lord of the Rings and some epic lines including 'The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath.' In fact, the entire song is epic. Cheers

[@williamstefens]

Though not Lyrically, Misty Mountain Hop and Over the Hills and far away is a nod to Tolkien's The Hobbit. Then, you also have Ramble On which include a reference to Gollum and Sauron ( The Evil One).

This song came out my in my senior year of HS. Now 49 yrs later , I'm still loving it and even hearing new nuance s to it. JPJ on the keyboard s is outrageously fantastic. But as you guys so aptly describe it , this song showcase s all their specific talents and the perfect blending of the 4 of them. Amber hit the nail on the head by saying, it's got Funk to it , but mixed with Jimmy Page without any blistering solo just combines the rock / funk mix perfectly. And of course there's no hiding R Plants versatile vocals and the backbone of John Bonham s driving drums makes it a rock n roll masterpiece. Well done Jay n Amber

In those days, when there was no live band or footage to show, they would hire a firm called FilmFinders to put together something suitable from archive movie footage (no, really, they did!).

[@Sgp853]

The riff is nasty

[@RabbiSteve1]

Very nice reaction to this piece of funk from LZ. That instrument very prominent on this track is the keyboard instrument, the Clavinet, made most famous by Stevie Wonder on “Superstition”. And supposedly, his use of the instrument on that track is what inspired the MVP and “secret weapon” of LZ, JPJ to use it on this song. That’s him on bass and clavinet, the funky instrument playing that counter riff. Clavinet is basically an electric harpsichord, which is a baroque keyboard instrument where the strings are plucked instead of hammered.

[@herbertburgos9649]

Jay and Amber, thank you for finally reacting to 'Trampled Under Foot ' from the Led Zeppelin double album master piece " Physical Graffiti ". I've requested this track a few times as it is one of my favorites on the album. So glad you got play it. The entire album needs to be explored further.

[@j.jennings1722]

Fun fact, J. and Amber: right before LZ made this album, they were riding a huge wave of success, so their manager was able to renegotiate their contract with the record company, giving the band almost unprecedented control over everything associated with their music, including whatever they wanted for the album cover, which included having the building's windows on the cover open up to reveal pictures underneath, which was just them having fun with their newfound power. Their contract helped a lot of other artists negotiate better contracts for them, making sure that acts in the future were better compensated for their hard work and success.

[@beowulf1005]

JPJ just beastly on the clavinet here.

[@sicotshit7068]

Unlike other bands, Page put this band together in about 2 weeks, within 2 months their first album was recorded mixed & ready to be packaged.
