Their big hits got radio play (hello, Stairway to Heaven-most requested radio song ever), but Led Zeppelin has a very eclectic catalogue many of which was good but was not played because it could not be so easily slotted. "In the Light" comes to mind.

There’s a ten year span in that video from 1969 to 1979. When you said he looked older and more serious? That was two years after Robert Plant lost his 5 year old son and was lost in grief for months and almost left the band John Bonham, his best friend , convinced him to teturn He was forever changed by that tragedy and never got over it. The concert that that clip was from was Knebworth in 1979....the first time they’d played live in England for about four years and one of the first after the band played live again after the tragedy. The next year, Robert lost his best mate John Bonham and Zepplin died

He got a call backstage that his boy was sick....and then a short while later another call that he had passed. I cannot even imagine. Bonzo flew home with him. Robert wrote the song I Believe about Karac. You should watch the video of it. The best interview of him in the past 10 years is the one done by Dan Rather on AXSTV in his series zither Big Interview. Rather gets Robert to talk about this loss....something he rarely does. Plant has had times of joy in his life since then for sure, but more than “just a little rain” has fallen on his shoulders and the shadows have often been long. Selfishly, we can only be grateful that he has turned much of his personal tragedies into beautiful songs the past 40 years....and when it appears, his smile is still beautiful....

The band already broke up and John Bonham died already. I was so sad. Saw song remains the same. Also saw Robert Plant's band and Jimmy Page's band his singer was nailing it like Plant without the same sexual vibe but the voice was great. Anyway Pink Floyd toured then was awesome. All the great bands. I saw them all late, lots of Ozzy concerts but Black Sabbath was Tony Ioami by then and was Ozzy fan at the height of his solo career.

"Back door man" is also reference to a lover who would leave by the back door when the husband came home.

REACT TO "In my time of dying" Thank You!!!

This is the song that made Led Zeppelin because it WAS played on the radio--ON AM, which is what everybody still listened to at the time. As someone else has already commented, it is kinda strange but censors caught profanity and drug references but sexual references went over their heads. This was also one of those songs that AM radio thought was too long so there was a short version and a long, album version. Same with The Doors' "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm" and several other songs by other artists. Speaking of The Doors, recommend you listen to their song "Back Door Man"--that and "Roadhouse Blues" are essential bangers for sixties/seventies rock novices.

Bonham's drums are so infectious, totally get the urge to want to "air drum" along. Notice how he is in the pocket of Page's guitar riff on this song? It's what gives it that sexy groove. This song in '69 set the blueprint for the hard rock that was to dominate 70's music.

They played the fire out of them, and many other heavily suggestive music.. Shoot Cars was another LOVIN' loaded group. There were so many. LOVE SOLD back then.

There wasn't a problem playing this song on the radio although the "theremin freakout" middle section was often shortened for radio playtime (Jimmy played a theremin which is an instrument that looks like an antennae; it's played by moving your hand near and away from it, creating an oscillating effect that you could control the tone and pitch. It was often used in sci-fi movies to create eerie or "space" effects). The Zeppelin song that did have a bit of difficulty with radio censorship was Hey Hey What Can I Do because the lyrics talk of him looking for his "street corner girl" and "I got a woman, wanna ball all day". In case you didn't know, to "ball" was a euphemism for having sex.

@ramblerdave1339

8 ай бұрын

The term "ball" and "balling" were referring to dancing in the forties and fifties, morphed into a reference to sex in the late sixties/early seventies. In the Blues, rocking and rolling was a term for sex, and in the 50s, unaware (sheltered) white DJs mistook those terms for dancing. I'm 72, white, and didn't hear the term "ball", used as a sex reference, until about 1970, ( maybe I was also sheltered 😂), but the references come from the African American Blues (and Jazz?) traditions, from earlier.

"Is he really trying to make the sound...?" Yes. Absolutely. Sex runs through Zep's music like a thread in a tapestry. Sex was a big part of rock in the 70's - if something sounded sexual, you could bet it was meant that way. It was not, shall we say, a shy time. (When this song came out, we'd had the 60's and a lot of opening up about sex. But Whole Lotta Love was one of the first really explicit songs - there really isn't any other way to interpret it. From what I remember, it wasn't a huge issue except in places that were more buttoned-up and conservative generally, for instance in the South, where this kind of thing was greatly frowned upon.)

It was indeed a big deal, because Led Zeppelin was so far advanced for what the times had to offer!! Many greats in their era, but this was just a cut above!!!

This is the tune that kicks off the Brown Bomber (Led Zeppelin 2), which is one of my favorite albums of all time! You’ll hear a lot of bluesy rockers reference a “backdoor man”.
