One of my absolute favorites. Just a gritty funk masterpiece. Next one is a MONSTER boys. Strap in.

There is a video on KZread of Trampled underfoot synched up to black and white clips of Buzby Berkeley/ Fred Astaire musicals made by 1970’s U.K. music show The Old Grey Whistle Test. Zep stopped appearing on t.v shows once they were established and didn’t bother with videos. So on its release the BBC needed something to accompany it. It’s wonderful and fits brilliantly.

Ten years gone is my personal favorite.

Zeppelin's early, blues-based compositions evolved into the familiar LZ sound as the band, especially JPJ, were influenced by the musicianship expected of the early 1970s bands and demonstrated by progressive bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, et. al. Led Zeppelin took their massive talents and applied more challenging compositions and arrangements to produce gems like this song. Physical Graffiti may have had a couple throwaways, but when the album was released, Zeppelin once again blew us away with some of their best songs. Thanks for listening to this entire album!

I love the little high hat fill Bonham does starting at 6:26 - sort of a call and response with Plant. Such a hard driving beat that no one else could've done it credit. #Bonzo

John Paul Jones & John Bonham were a brilliant rhythm section and both loved RnB, this song came from one of their jams - JPJ played keys and the bass pedals

According to Jimmy, they had about an album and half's worth of music for this album so they decided to pull some songs that had been worked on but not released. This song had a working title of "Brandy and Coke" and yes, as you guys (and others) have mentioned, JPJ said he was inspired by Stevie Wonder's Superstition as well as Billy Preston's Outta Sight for this electric clavinet jam. During the solo, he also adds another clavinet track put through a wah low in the mix. Jones plays regular bass on the audio but had to use the bass pedals on the clavinet during live. The lyrics were inspired by Robert Johnson's song Terraplane Blues which compares a hot rod car with a hot woman. It's a tightly performed, heavy rocker that sees Jimmy utilize some studio techniques like the wah-wah to provide a chunky guitar texture, backward echo, panning guitar strafing and reverb. If you are able to do a live performance, look up one from Earls Court in 1975. There's a few on YT and if you're concerned with not being able to use live due to blocking or copyright, there's a live audio remaster called "Trampled Underfoot (Live at Earls Court 5-24-75) - Remaster" by a creator called Led Zeppelin Boots. Similar to when you did The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song, you won't see them play but you'll hear the live performance.

So funky. An all timer.

Those drums and bass are slamming that rhythm hard. The guitar riff is great. Zepp can't be dissected, they're all great in all aspects.

I have always LOVED the groove in this song. The keyboard does sound similar to the Clavinette, that Stevie Wonder uses on the song "Superstition". Great song, great solos, solid drums.

The greatest rock album by the GOATS

This song and Kashmir have the best grooves.

I really really look forward to the Zeppelin reactions guys... Thank you

Baby's , teens , parents , aunts , uncles , grandparents - everybody is a Led Zeppelin fan either secretly or openly

Live JPJ played the clav part with his hands and the bass with his feet! Total monster! Can’t wIt for Ten Years Gone.

More Led for my head!

It just keeps getting better and better as you go

Sounds like there are 8 people in the band. 😆 They were just that good. If you have the time, give their performance of this during their '75 Earls Court concert a listen/watch. Excellent! Glad you enjoyed this one. It's one of my favorites. Love the groove.

If you listen to "It's A New Day" by James Brown, the intro to Soul Man by Sam & Dave, and Outta Space by Billy Preston, you can hear all of them. Led Zepp did their thing with this one!!!!!!!

That opening riff by John Paul gets me every time!! Apparently inspired by the Stevie Wonder song Superstition (both amazing use of the clavinet!). He continues that groove through. Then comes Bonham's driving beats...I still consider these two one of the best rhythm sections in all of rock!! Plant is just wailing away, and Jimmy is being Jimmy. Absolutely LOVE this track!! One of my faves off Physical Graffiti.

Hard driving nonstop funky groove. Probably one of my top 5 favorite Zeppelin tunes

Recorded for “Physical Graffiti” in 1974: In The Light, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, The Wanton Song, Sick Again, Custard Pie, Trampled Underfoot. Recorded prior: Bron-Y-Aur, The Rover (‘70), Night Flight, Boogie With Stu, Down By The Seaside (left off ‘IV’ in ‘71), Black Country Woman, Houses of The Holy (‘73).

Enjoyed your reaction guys, spot on. I've heard that when they played this live, JPJ was on keyboards but playing bass with his feet! Anyone else, I just wouldn't believe it.

I didn't know this album was a collection of Zep deep tracks. Damnit, grew up before the internet and all ;)

When you guys get to Bron Yr Aur it is the shortest song , you should do Down By The Seaside at the same time. They really go good together.

Dammit man, 4 of the greatest monster musicians!!! Love that in yer face sh#t....Bring it.

What a funk driven groove!

That's how you do it right there.

From what I can tell the tracks recorded at Headly Grange in 1974 are: Side 1 - Custard Pie In My Time of Dying Side 2 - Trampled Under Foot Kashmir Side 3 - In the Light Ten Years Gone Side 4 - The Wanton Song Sick Again

yeah, i agree with this list

I believe I read once where this song was inspired by Stevie Wonders superstition. I know I have referenced it before but they do a tremendous uptempo version of this song live at earls court in 1975 with JPJ, Page and Bonham all just killing it simultaneously. Page give a terrific Adlib guitar solo in the middle of it. You could always tell when page was feeling it because he would settle in right in front of Bonzos kick drum. It must have given him all the confidence in the world to just let it rip playing in front of such a powerhouse. Any way thanks for doing the reaction videos. You are probably my favorite reaction channel

No doubt each member is the best at their discipline. To me JPJ is usually the secret weapon, but I always key on what Page is doing. His guitar fills really make every song.

Love the Dubs hat. Epic songs being served next. Hope you boys are ready! Can’t wait and nice job!

Ned from Spain as always down for the Zeppelin and watching you guys groovin with it. This song just moves, seems like it could on forever with Bonham and JPJ on the solid pocket. I agree with Che that Plant's voice sounds a tad rough and kinda tore up but he's still is killing it. The fatigue is understandable as groups back then played almost non stop between the studio and concerts that lasted between 2 to 3 hours. Page adding the phazey backwards guitars as well as the wah wah, JPJ smacking that Clavinet and everybody havin a funky good time !

Thank you Led Zeppelin 🙌

After a couple re-listens, I feel like this album is better taken in as a whole. A couple songs stand out on there own, but as a whole album it really is beautiful.

The lyrics were based on Robert Johnson's 1936 "Terraplane Blues." A Terraplane is a classic car, and the song uses car parts as metaphors for sex: "pump your gas," "rev all night," etc

The next song is the BIG one!!! This one is great and there are some other of my absolutel favorites coming, like 10 Years Gone & Night Flight...yay!

Put this on when driving the interstate. Perfect!

whats crazy about this album....most bands are luck to have 1 or 2 hits.....this was a DOUBLE Album and every song was a hit

JPJ killing it😮

Its rumoured that Queen wrote "Im in love with my car" because of TU,( my all time favourorite LZ song) the other rumour is Queen wrote BRapsody as their STHeaven. All excellent songs.

Really enjoy the live version too. I have heard that live (not sure of the truth of it), JPJ played keyboards with his hands and the bass line with his feet.

Had my eyes shut and got ready for "Kashmir" to start kickin' in. lol

Great Zeppelin reactions fellas! Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands assembled. Can't wait for you guys to discover Tool. John Bonham is greatly looked up to by Danny Carey, who also one of the all time greats. Tool actually does an amazing cover of No Quarter. Check it out!

you guys are the best, speaking of best for me the next song Kashmir is my all time fav Lz even over stairway to heaven.

And now for something completely different, well, In a few, "Down By the Seaside". Luvit.

Love that beat!!

I'll be 62 years of age this year and KASHMIR was the most brilliant song ever written to be performed in the history of music and I've endured the greatest of eras in music during my lifetime as there where many greats, but this song is by far the greatest of all time during my 62 years. Led Zeppelin was the GREATEST, HAS BEEN THE GREATEST, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN ROCK HISTORY and Queen will ALWAYS BE SECOND because of the collective diversity of music they provided their fans.

I was waiting for this one. They had no peers. Absolute killer. I am willing to say this side of vinyl with Houses of the Holy, Trampled Underfoot and soon to be reviewed Kashmir is untouchable in rock pantheon.

Great funk/rock fusion track. Love it ❤

High energy song. Keeps on chugging.

Page used a lot of really awesome recording techniques and effects that accentuated every song. I don’t think he used a bow since Led Zeppelin 1, but he frequently did a ton of creative work with the wah pedal, echo and delay effects, phasing effects and multi tracking to get the atmospherics he wanted. He was probably the greatest rock guitar composer, producer and studio wizard. Maybe some of the progressive rock guys - Gilmour, Fripp etc - were like that, but Page also rocked.

Page as the most prolific song writer who also played those original guitar riffs he created had an advantage of a wide open landscape. And he landscaped the yard he created full of lush gardens. I'd say a guy like Tom Scholz and Eric Johnson are more accomplished with equipment and technical studio abilities. But Jimmy Page so original so many songs you want to hear. I'm a big Alex Lifeson fan over his creativity and originality. Doesn't get the credit he's due. Same with Tony Iommi. But Jimmy Page has a body of work tough to question. Such a unique band who wouldn't be anything near what they became with any members except the 4 who became Led Zeppelin. They made an amazing team.

@@Greg-io1ip I don’t know if Eric Johnson and Tom Scholz are more accomplished than Page in the studio. As great as they are, they really each have only one signature sound. And they came in later than Page using more advanced equipment. Page recorded Zep 1 - the whole album - on an 8 track in 30 hours! And that’s the most vibe-y hard rock record ever. Page had hundreds of ideas for sounds - including drum recording - that he could get in the studio with incredible ingenuity and vision. Credit of course also to JPJ, Glyn Johns, Andy John’s and Eddie Kramer (the greatest hard rock sound engineers of the era), but no one had the breadth of musical vision and competence Page possessed, right through Presence, at least not since Hendrix.

The lyrics are hilarious. Obviously Plant is singing about a woman but every line is describing the parts of some kind of classic sports-car metaphorically. Reminds me of "The Lemon Song". They made music that was fun, adventurous, and dangerous.

So many people say Zeppelin 4 is their best album. But I and many others think Physical Graffiti is their masterpiece. You really need to do this song and In my time of Dying Live from Earls Court. This song is modeled after the Old Blues master Robert Johnson's song Tarraplane Blues. It's basically comparing a woman's body to car parts.

Been waitin for this one

My senior year of high school 1975/1976 and saw them in 1977 at the kingdom in Seattle Wa ..will always remember it.

This song a goal of Robert Plant, when he heard Jimmy Johnsons teraplane blues. All the Brits were BIG into the blues and was SE USA such as Duane Allman etc. SO a song with nothing but car talk which is really sex talk. Load a version with lyrics. Also this was LZ step back into funk, as the groove was inspired by hearing Stevie Wonder's Superstition. Similarly they started to hear reggae music which they DID NOT like lol. So they wrote D'yer Mak'er which most people including me for decades,, Dyer maker when it is really more like Did ya maker her. I guess a Jamaican way to say it. The funniest part is it was spoof because again they did not like reggae BUT the fans loved it. In fact it is the sound on my cell when my wife calls. SO they never did it live. Or that is the claim. I love to see younger people finding my music which was inspired a lot by one of the few music genres of the USA THE BLUES, The history is amazing to know. And bands like LZ had so much talent few people talk about. Page did things in the control room the engineers said were impossible on LZ 1 looping recoring tape from door knobs and mic stands. LZ 1 was also done in I think 34 recording hours. Page also played in different time signatures than the band in riff, something again people told him was impossible. Black Dog on LZ 4 is one example. The drummer Bonzo would play in 9 8 time which the song was in I think 4 4 or 8 8 . NO idea how they all kept in time. Girls are DOMINATING on buying up guitars and drums learning old songs from my era. The guys better get to it lol. By the way I grew up on everything in the 60s, motown and stuff from muscle shoals for sure. No harm in liking a lot of genres. I even liked a bit of rap, more early stuff I thought for my inventive. Genres will come and go but Rock Will Never Die lol. Quoting Neil Young.
