My favorite Led Zeppelin album😎😎😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Wanton Song is definitely a hidden gem, killer riff.

This is the greatest hard rock album of all of time. I am now in my sixties and I can remember the Christmas morning when my parents gave me this album. It sands up to any album ever made by anyone. I emediely went down stairs and began the long journey to play it on the drums. They say John Bonham is regarded as one of the best drummers of all time, listen and whatch his drum solo on How the West was Won from 1971 and me tell me he's not the best drummer of all time. I am sure you will agree. In college I had a radio show and I was known as the Zepologist I had done extensive research on the whole band. The LOVE I have for this band will live forever. Keep in mind this band would not exist if it weren't for John Paul Jones. He did all of the arrangements which is LZ best quality. I am now going to put on my brand new Led Zeppelin shirt and enjoy the rest of my life. Take Care.

I recommend their live concert at teatro Metropolitan CDMX to See how great they are and if you like their music then watch their two presentations at the TEDx talks were they talk about how they got started as a band. The first presentation is the one from 2016 and then the following year 2017 The first video is the one we're the lead singer is wearing a skirt. In the first video they play one original song and two covers and on the second presentation the three songs are their compositions. And then I recommend the live concert they did at Lunario in 2018 were they performed their concept album Queen of the Murder Scene (yes a concept rock album)in its entirety with some songs from their first album. The sisters all play piano. The lead singer is Dani 24 yrs (Daniela), guitar,lead vocals, Pau 22 (Paulina) Drummer,lead and backing vocals and Ale 19(Alejandra)bass and backing vocals and sometimes lead vocals.

It is one of the best songs on the album and I think the 2 minute slow intro threw you off a bit. As always, great job! Loving your Zeppelin journey

This album was waited on after, stairway to heaven with great excitement. Then wow bought it and wore that sucker out. Masterpiece 😊 pure perfection. Zeppelins ,white album

It always makes me smile to see you enjoying LZ You totally get it!! Thanks for doing the LZ reaction videos. Brings me back 40+ years ago when I first discovered their musical genius.

The review of Physical Graffiti in the British music magazines in 1975 included the headline “ Kiss Your Skull Goodbye”. That’s all you need to know.

I wore this entire album compilation out on my record player (which I had to get a job to purchae it ) I actually just threw it away after having for 43 years.

This album is a rite of passage. Well done.

I've been listening to this album since it's release in 1975 and have LONG declared that it's Led Zeppelin's greatest.....and, let's face it, it contains the greatest album opener & closer of ALL-TIME. Led Zeppelin LIVES FOREVER.....!!! 😃

Good comment on Boogie with Stu. It does have a western saloon feel. I’ll always think that now.

Love to see people discovering this music that we discovered when we were their age, all the way back in 1974.

Boogie with Stu was recorded during the 4th album. Stu is Ian Stewart who played with the Rolling Stones and also played piano on Rock and Roll. Ritchie Valens wrote the original song called Ooh My Head. Sick Again is the standout on this side.

Ritchie Valens gives it that 50 rock sound, but the boys reached further back and gave this a very juke sound. The sound comes from delta blues (including some of the artists that Zeppelin was accused of ripping off). I’m fully in the camp that Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band in history, but I also understand that it’s a matter of opinion and taste. What I will stand firm on is that Led Zeppelin is also the greatest Blues cover band of all time.

I recommend the teatro Metropolitan CDMX live concert so that you can get an idea of how good this band is and their music. You have been Warned! 🤘😃👍

Not a banjo, it's a mandolin. It was also used on a couple songs on their 3rd and 4th albums and, it's in the left channel in the next song..

Wanton is my favourite Led Zep track. Jazz chords in the bridge, Bonzo'a great drum fill in the 3rd verse - everything that LedZep is all about in 3 minutes

Masterpiece....... Zeppelins... White Album.😮.....but better.

Just another great side to the whole album. Great review of all sides ❤

"Sick Again" has one of my favorite solos by Jimmy Page. Kind of lurching at the start, then building steadily to a perfect, screaming finish.

Hearing Night Flight always makes me feel happy. It and Byron-Yr-Aur and Ten Years Gone are my favorites from this magical album.

Love you girl. Thanks for your groove, and take on the greatest rock band of all time ! Until next time stay well and poppin for fresh !

You have music in your soul

I listened to the Wanton Song while watching a silent film of a world war 2 aerial battle between a British Spitfire and a German Messerschmidt once and Jimmy's attacking guitar drops with Bonzo crashing in and Roberts voice mimicking a screaming Merlin engine, all synced perfectly with the film. Robert's final arcing wail at the end made the perfect sound of a defeated hapless enemy, finishing the dogfight to a note. It's a ferocious piece of music and possibly my favorite on the whole double album. I know it's a song about an evil Succubus.......but art can be weird like that sometimes.

The bass is fucking superb.

I think you have an amazing ear for good classic rock, AV! You seem to realize immediately when a special song starts playing.

GOATS!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥GENRE….WOH NEEDS A STIKIN GERNRE! They are their own genre! Great tip of the hat to early 60’s Rock Bands!

Presence next. Not the variety of other albums but killer guitar work on first and last tracks. You'll love it.

Night Flight is so groovy. Deep cut favorite for a long time.

Verdy you're cool. Keep on rockin!!!

John Paul Jones who was the bass & keyboard player is highly under rated musician who did a lot of the arrangements for their songs. He's a really easy going laid back guy. A very intelligent musician I offend hear you say the"Triple Threat" but, without Jones the songs would be totally different, It took all 4 to pull this band together. Also, I love that you really enjoy this timeless Band.

It took all four of them to be the best rock band that existed, not because of having one of the greatest, but because they had four of the greatest. No other band can claim to have so many songs that were huge hits, and even their less played songs would be huge hits for other bands, no other band can come close to that.

Arguably Zeppelin's greatest album, this side was not quite as good as the other 3 as they have a variety of tunes but the Wanton Song and Sick Again make it a must listen for me. This double album is up there with Pink Floyd's the Wall, The Beatles (White Album) and The WHO's Quadrophenia as landmark double albums with some of the best music ever created by anyone. Try any of those and continue the amazement! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Sick Again..cool song ..

Verdy, if you want to try a totally different sound of Rock and Roll, which is very heavy on guitar, listen to the "Move it on Over" album by George Thorogood from 1984.

I believe that what you were calling a banjo is a mandolin. Jimmy Page has played the instrument on a number of Led Zeppelin tunes. In addition to both "Boogie Stu" and "Black Country Woman," it was featured in "Gallows Pole," "Going to California," "Battle of Evermore," "Tangerine," "That's the Way," and "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do."

You probably have a long list of albums to check out, but if you liked Boogie with Stu and Black Country Woman, you might want to go back to the source: Delta Blues. Rock music has had many influences, but the Blues is the mother lode, the wellspring from which Rock and Roll flowed. And this is why the earliest Rock and Roll was hated by many in the white establishment world. Rock was “negro music”. Priests and parents were particularly scandalized by Rock & Roll. Pretend I wrote several more paragraphs about youth culture, the generation gap, and mimicry of different aspects of black American culture, which became the source of cool.

Given the circumstance around which the song was written (the death of Plant's young son), something tells me he made peace with it. Page and Plant are still so close after all the years since, and the song over time has become one (of many) of the best Zeppelin anchor songs that I wouldn't be surprised if he'd loved it just as much if Heart had performed All My Love with Jason Bonham at the Kennedy Centre evening instead of Stairway
