I've been listening to "Physical Graffiti" since 1975 and it forever remains my favorite Led Zeppelin album....and I'm a HARDCORE LedHead. Hearing the change-overs of the LP sides is INGRAINED in me. I'm also of the opinion that "Custard Pie" and "Sick Again" are THE GREATEST album opener and closer EVER......and I will go to my grave with that opinion. 🤩 Nearly half a century since it's release.....I'm an old man now.......Where does the time go?!?

One of the best reasons (I feel) of all of the crystal clear, perfectly balanced stereo soundboard tapes from 1975 is that: we all get a front row seat to hear John Paul’s work. In fact one of the main reasons I’ve loved Zeppelin all these years for is because we get to live vicariously through the insight of John’s (and the others of course) thought processes. Kashmir live from the US ‘75 tour is something that Jones could handle. Between the Hohner keyboard atop the Mellotron and bass pedals, he had it all covered. When the songs drawn-out ending begins when entering the key of G is where we get to hear the goods. It’s like having a full orchestra in one man. We’re all forever indebted to Mr. Jones. I recommend to all here to go back to the Dallas tapes, St. Louis, Nassau, N.Y., Baton Rouge, Vancouver and Seattle board tapes and check out Kashmir once again…to hear the master at work on top of Bonham’s HUGE bass drum trudge.

My friend never knew it, but his dad is the officer driving the patrol car that takes Grant in for questioning - said he met the members and they were all gentlemen - he did say they looked a little worse for wear (party the night before???) and that Jimmy was asking Grant for cash so he could go buy records! He also stated the police thought the money was stolen by a member of the hotel management staff. One of the books I read mentioned someone they thought stole the money who worked at the hotel who suddenly retired and moved to the carribbean!

Can’t Wait ! When do you think it’ll be out Jose ?

Saturday :)

I was 14 when it came out . A friend and I went to the record store they had a large card board display of the album cover I didn't have enough money my friend did so he bought it and we went my house and listened to the whole thing .

Jose !!!! What really makes your videos compelling is your personal connections to the albums and music. That is what intrigues me and I connect with also as we share the same deep passion of Led Zeppelin. I enjoy the time capsule spots you put in the videos.The time and effort you put into these is wonderful. I do not have the patience or talent to do something like this but I have plenty to offer in passion and sharing my collection and thoughts. So ignore the haters I would like to see them try and do better. Now on to Physical Graffiti. Such a monster to lay down a time line and I can see why its been building up in the back of your mind. Ten Years Gone is a top track as also Sick Again from PG but who am I kidding I could never rank them as it would be a tie with all the songs. I have heard many that feel they could of had a single album and then saved songs for another. Being this is still one of the best selling double albums of all time I think they did ok. Many also say it marks the excess of the band being "over the top" at this point with the 3 hour shows and luxury tours etc. It was a very challenging time with Jones and Plant and the events that would come will make it even harder to overcome. In my eyes this band can do no wrong, I don't care what the haters say. PG its a epic body of work and some of the best riffs in rock!!!!

Vance! Thanks so much man, i appreciate it. Working out the script for this one has been tough, specially the intro, because i wanted to say a lot heheheh. Graffiti you can sense is not my favorite but...this series has helped me A LOT to understand a gray area period for me and to better understand what they were dealing at the time. I still confirm the 1973-1974 stuff they recorded is mindblowing, i love these songs. Where the story is leading me...it's fascinating because i can see a big picture that really affected the whole INDUSTRY you know? Funny because now it seems Houses was their least focused work, and i love that album, but the more i do Graffiti's timeline, the more i see it.....maybe i'll do a video one day on this. Working hard to make it all happen. Hope you are doing well, and enjoying the fine Chicago restaurants i hope i can visit one day!

What an Amazing album,this has always been my favorite album in their catalogue,I absolutely love it,thank you for making this..🙌✨👽🫶🏼

I’m salivating over this, can’t wait!

Thanks so much Steve, lots of time went into thinking that theme out. Looking for the motifs and layers :)

Glad to see that you are going to include some of the cuts from one of the best bootleg's that I have ever heard, the name I know it by is Physically Present but it probably has a dozen others. I saw it in a record store (remember those?) and it was behind the counter in a glass top case and I asked about it. The guy said he didn't know much about it so I asked if I could listen to it, he said sure. It starts off with the run through of Custard Pie, and immediately I said SOLD! It was far and away the most I had ever paid for a bootleg CD! Bootlegs are traditionally expensive, but this was like $80 that was a shit TON of money for a bootleg CD! I took it home and listened to it, and then listened to it about twenty times in a row! I brought it over to my friends house and told him, you HAVE to hear this! My buddy was the ULTIMATE LZ fanatic! He & I loved everything Zeppelin! He had a look on his face when the version of In The Light started that was like looking at the face of someone watching their child being born! We listened to that entire thing 10 times! We got hammered and just enjoyed hearing the different ways they were putting all these songs together, it was great! My buddy passed away suddenly from a heart attack a number of years ago, it devastated me. I never got to say goodbye, and we really loved each other. I miss him a lot! That bootleg makes me think about him, and it makes me feel good that we shared that together. There are people that try to convince you that it is fake! It's a tribute band doing an impression of Zeppelin. If you are a true student of Zeppelin, you know it's them. I know those tapes were stolen from Page a number of years ago. So yes, it's Zeppelin! Raw and real! Hope you will play the version of In The Light with the different lyrics and the harpsichord intro. Looking forward to the next video!

​@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories not well, but the band mentioned in the review, Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, recorded at one of the studios I work at, so would often see them and chit chat with them. Tim was a friendly dude....in fact, most of them were, and they were very funny. That was 20 years ago though. I know I've seen the drummer from afar recently, but haven't had a chance to chat. But this gives me reason to do so next time I see him. Anyway, yeah, I'd like to hear that record too. If I find anything out, will let you know.

This is going to be absolutely fantastic. I can't wait for this.

Easily one of the top 5 albums of all time end of story

Hi J this is one of your best videos, great production etc. i bought it when it came out and still have it with the window hype sticker. I heard they didn’t put the trac Ho-t-Holy on HOTH is because Jimmy thought it sounded too much like Dancin’Days.

Interesting Jimmy thought it sounded like Dancing Days, i can see why...but had they put Houses in there...what a great addition. Thank YOU very much for watching and your kind words!!!. Stay tuned for Episode 2!

I remember the album release preview on WNEW fm. Scott Muni's afternoon show, he would play a song or two from the then unreleased album. I would rush home from school to not miss it. 49 years later, when I play the album, it's as fresh and wonderful as the first time.

I remember seeing that John Paul Jones CD at the Austin Record Show in the mid-1990s. The guy selling it wanted way too much and wouldn't come down in price. I had already spent too much money and just couldn't afford it. I've looked for it off and on through the years but hardly ever found it until recently on Discogs. For almost 30 years, I've wondered whether or not that was John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin even. I remember the CD artwork looked a lot like JPJ (especially the hair) but something just didn't look exactly right at the same time haha. I went over to Amazon and read some of the reviews. I'll just say I don't feel so bad now since I didn't buy that back in the '90s! 😂 Thanks for another great production and look into the Zeppelin history JCM 👍 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
