This is why Bonzo is a genius. Most drummers would play a second snare hit - like a double - on every beat. But he restrains himself to every fourth hit. Moves the song. Page was into heroin, Bonzo was into drink so it was left up to Plant and JPJ to create this album. Wait until "Southbound Suarez"!

It’s also pertinent to acknowledge Bernard “Pretty” Purdie who was the originator of the Purdie Shuffle :)

Probably damaged many steering wheels with that snare roll coming out of the fast drumming in the middle section. Definitely a Road Trip Song. That Shuffle Groove is so good.

I might quibble with the word "hate," tho I'm sure there are some who actively feel malevolence towards it, heh. MY theory, and speaking only for myself here, but i may be onto something, is: I and many of my friends in '79, roughly 16-19 at the time, felt let down that there was no "Black Dog" (tho there was a "Hot Dog," ba-dum-dum) or "Immigrant Song" or, for the aficionados among us, a "Nobody's Fault But Mine." What was with all these synthesizers and whistles and shit? Wasn't that sort of New Wave-y or, worse, within shouting distance of the dreaded "DISCO" sound/vibe? At the time my "clique" was "jock-turning-into-freak"/athlete-to-stoner. And the soft, sing-songy "All My Love"? (Shamefully, we may have even realized, unmoved, that it was about Robert mourning the loss of his boy.) WTF, Zep? Is my vague memory of our then-idiotic , macho-tainted first take on the album. So we cranked "In The Evening," fiddled (so to speak) with "Hot Dog," MAYBE explored "Carouselambra" to the point of SOME appreciation, and pretty much left the rest alone, including THIS little masterpiece. Fools in the Rain, indeed. I just wonder if others had the same reaction/impression, and that then somehow carried thru the decades into this being cited as their "worst" album? I don't think they had a "bad" album, not even close. Only "maybe slightly better than the others" ones.

@@joescott8877 interesting to read your perspective and what age you were at the time. I am sure you aren’t alone in that experience. I was 8 years old and absorbed all their previous albums all at once from albums I had, what the older gives got me into and what the radio was playing. It was all new to me even though some of it was already 10 years old. Definitely felt what you felt about the album at the time (as much as an 8 year old could). My thoughts about “what did you want them to sound like in 1979?” Was a thought I only had recently. They could have been retro old sounding Zep, could have been post punk or post disco or new wave. Where they did end up landing sound wise on that album might have been the best option.

You guys are a blessing! Zep still has fuel in the tank on this late album.

This is the one I've been waiting for y'all to listen to, out of the whole Zeppelin catalogue.

It's my bithday today. Watching you guys react and appreciate the band I have loved for 53 years was a fabulous gift !!!!!!! Thanks for being "true reactors", I remember hearing and feeling things while listening to zep albums that I had never heard of from any other band or musician.(and every band was on their "A" game in that era) It's a different feeling from every song. No quarter, and the rain song really take you somewhere else, those are in my top 10 live songs. FITRain just makes you happy , want to dance , and laugh that Robert was on the wrong block the whole time. I truly can't think of another band that covered so many different genres. If someone says they don't like zeppelin, it just means they haven't heard their albums !!! There is at least one song they are going to love. imo. Once again,, thanks guys for all the time you've spent covering lz, and please keep going because there is so much more !!!

I read somewhere that they had attended the World Cup in Argentina to watch England play. They were in the stadium during a Brazil game and heard the fans plaing Samba in the stands. That's how they got the inspiration for the Samba beat in the song.

This was definitely one of the biggest hits off the album, but the one that got the most playtime was "All of My Love" the tribute song Robert wrote about the death of his son and how it affected the life of his parents afterward. JPJ really stepped-up writing and arranging this album, but the band showed how good they could still be in spite of the many directions they were being pulled during the time. I can only imagine how wonderful it might have been, even if they just wrote and produced music going forward and never, or just sparingly toured! The Stones, The Who, Floyd, even Sabbath, had decades to change and adapt and build a resume. These guys sadly ended up having to cram it all in

This has got to be one of my favorite Zep tunes! What a rhythm….Bonzo at his best, joined by Mr Plant, Page and Jones adding their special touches. Glad you brothers liked it! Your reaction was priceless! Thank you for this midweek pick-me-up!

These 2 guys are my new Favorite REACTORS. They are spot on, and are listening to every molecule. Great fun 🎵🎵🎵 all around for us and them.

One of my favorite Zeppelin albums, despite how badly the critics and a lot of fans shit all over it after it was released. I was so excited about this newer direction and was hyped to see what they would come up with on the next album....and Bonzo dies and that was the end of Zeppelin. Imagine what could have been. *sigh*

One of my favorite reactions by you guys. The whole song is great, but I've been in love with the drum track on this song for many decades! Bonham was all over it.

This song is definitely different for the band. Bonzo's "Purdie shuffle" is outstanding and his timbale work is top tier. Jonesy plays marimba with hard and soft mallets while Jimmy provides occasional twelve-string flourishes and a guitar solo using an MXR Blue Box octave fuzz effect to give his guitar a unique, buzzy/fuzzy tone. The Samba tone was inspired by Jones and Plant watching the televised 1978 World Cup soccer matches that were being hosted by Argentina during the month of June, just as the band was starting to write songs for this album. I also love the lyrics about a guy going to meet his girl until he realizes he's waiting on the wrong block. It's a song that underscores, yet again, that Zep could and would be different as they pleased.

Everyone talks about Bonzo on this track, and rightfully so, but I also love Page’s solo.

This is a "drop the mic" moment for the band. If there was any doubt as to the GOAT rock'n'roll band talent, this should have been the convincing moment.

This is one of the greatest recordings in music history. Drummers Valhalla

So happy to see this song up and your smiles and heads bobbing from the start- this song is sheer liquid joy for me, my favorite Zep song- I like all of their songs but this song just soars. The drums, surprise change up, vocals, guitar solo are just peak Zeppelin, the best. So glad you guys liked it too, been waiting for you to get to Fool in the Rain.

I believe the drummer from Toto was so taken by Bonzo's drumming on this song that he played something similar on "Rosanna".

That's a mean shuffle coming out of Bonzo's drums!

Bonzo's playing a half-time shuffle - he playing two different time signatures within the beat. He opens it up on the choruses and plays the ride cymbal with the beat. Bonzo also had a whistle on a string around his neck and plays it throughout mid-section. Bonzo overdubs timbales, igogo bells, a vibraphone, Caribbean steel drums - all over the top of his steady beat on the base track of alternating bass drum and hi-hat kicks, while wailing on his snare drum. Jimmy plays a great heavy riff for the verses and then rips into his beautiful, flawless finger-picking 12 string acoustic guitar for the choruses when the song opens up. That guitar solo is insanely awesome and it's sound is very unique. Jonesy is playing some fantastic piano on this number and then guides the song into the Brazilian samba band mid-section. Robert's vocals are clear and his voice sounds great. Robert Plant and John Paul Jones attended a soccer match or championship game in Brazil in 1978 and got the idea to incorporate a Brazilian samba band sound into one of their songs and this was it. This song is really not categorizable musically - they were inventing whole new forms and styles of music on this album. PS: Dave Matthews opened up several shows on his last tour with this Led Zepplin song.

theres an awesome drum outtake of this track where can REALLY hear bonhams greatness! and he was drunk lol youd never tell!!

Greatest rock band in the world. PERIOD

Fool in the Rain used one of Zeppelin's favored arrangements. A riff you cannot ignore, an interlude and a return to the riff to see the song out. This song, like Dazed and Confused and In My Time of Dying, returned to the riff from the band playing at 100mph, making the transition all the more spectacular as the tempo slowed dramatically. The other recurring Zeppelin style is the song that continues to evolve, most famously Stairway to Heaven. Others are more subtle, with simply the addition of more instruments. The reason people keep coming back to listen to Zeppelin songs is anticipation. You are waiting to to hear that transition, that solo, that piano, that extra guitar, that tiny flaw in the recording. This is what you get when you have great musicians who understand production.

One of their best songs, possibly in my top 5, definitely top 10. The samba groove there was inspired by the music at the 1978 World Cup.

I knew this would be a special reaction and that you guys would flip when you heard this!

This was one of the best albums of1979, coming at the end of a decade of incredible music that was rapidly changing by 1980. What a time to grow up!

You guys should do CODA as well. There’s some really good stuff on there. There’s a second version from a live take of I Cant Quit You Baby that’s super hard and gritty. It’s also one of my favorite Bonham tracks. Plus you NEED to do Traveling Riverside Blues. Such a great groove.

Actually what Bonham is using rhythmically is a drum pattern called the Purdie shuffle. Which was created by Bernard Purdie. Checkout the interview with Rick Beato and Bernard Purdie. And then fool in the rain influenced Jeff Porcaro of Toto in the song Rosanna. Now both drummers very creatively put their own twist on that particular pattern. But it originated from Mr. Purdie. 🙂

My favourite album and year for Zeppelin and this is a song that I thought was amazing when it came out. 1979 is an absolute mega year in music. Check out the British charts for 1979 and there is so much to choose from! Rock, Reggae, Ska, Mod, Punk, Disco, New Wave - it's all music condensed into 12 months. You are welcome USA!
