One of my all time favorite ZEPPELIN songs. I still wish you guys would trust me and do JUDAS PREIST: Riding on the Wind, the studio version only. Y’all are scared and unfamiliar, I get that, but this is a Classic song at the top of their game. Just because it doesn’t necessarily have a lot of likes or views doesn’t make a serious contender. This was way before all that. As you know, this Rock realm is unknown to most of your generation. That’s where I come in. The Old School. It’s a guaranteed banger and just a Badass, high energy, Hard Rock song. You can’t go wrong with it, I promise. You will love it, guaranteed.

This was one of their last hits as a band from 1979/80. They disbanded just a year later. John Bonham carried this song with those big sticks. RIP.

Yes.... please listen to Hey Hey...

Released in August of 1979, Robert Plants voice is really clear and powerful on this album….very little of the distortion that was present in Physical Graffiti after his throat surgery. The reason is tragic; Robert hadn’t sung with Zeppelin for almost two years because of his sons death and his voice was rested. This is the vocal sound that Plant took into the beginning of his solo career after Bonham’s death in September of 1980. The album leans much more into keys rather than guitar. The reason for that is also sad; Jimmy was dealing with a horrible drug addiction and was late or absent for most recording sessions. Plant and JPJ basically put the album together. Jimmy would come in at night, by himself, and put his guitar work over what had been recorded.

He’s waiting on a street corner in rain to meet his new girl that never shows up. He thinking he’s been stood up. During drum breakdown, our hero realizes he’s standing on the wrong street corner and (imo) the drums represent him running to the right street corner. Super clever lyrics! Great song! Ooh now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet I got no reason to doubt you baby It's all a terrible mess And I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop, hey!

It was also at a time that Jimmy Page was going thru a lot of things personally, and Robert Plant and John Paul Jones sort of took over this album as far as direction goes.

Yes! So glad you got to this one, which is one of their very best. This was one of Bonham's most creative performances, and Plant's lyrics taking a seemingly inoccuos event -- waiting for someone on a corner -- and turning it into a brilliant song.

Great song and Album, Thanks for reacting! The album had 6 different cover artwork that is black and white but wipe with water would change to color. It was sold with paper bag outer cover so unknown which one you bought. I have 4 of the 6 and 2 with bags.---- Wiki explains better...The original album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag (reminiscent of similarly packaged bootleg album sleeves with the title rubber-stamped on it), and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with water, would become permanently fully colored. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on each side), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible for record buyers to tell which sleeve they were getting. The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in which a man burns a Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone who appeared in the other photos. The photo session in a London studio was meant to look like a re-creation of the Old Absinthe House, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The album artwork was designed by Hipgnosis' Storm Thorgerson. In 1980, Hipgnosis was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Album Package for In Through the Out Door.

This album was produced by Jimmy Page, the lead guitarist. He produced most of the Led Zeppelin albums. Just another talent the members had over and beyond their musical expertise.

Their final album is actually one of their best.

I’m a Zeppelin fan from the old days. By far, my favorite band. The key to appreciating Zep, IMHO, is to understand that each album is a unique experience. Their sound change, morphed and evolved with each album. Bonham was influenced by Afro-Cuban rhythms, Page dived into ancient Celtic music and Plant dug into the vocal styles of the Middle East. Just listen to “Kashmir.” You’ll hear it all on that track.

What you have to understand about Led zeppelin,is they have something for everyone, from hard rock to bluegrass and everything between

The drum line on this is absolutely next level

The greatest band in the world I never got to see when I was younger. Great choice of song this is a more upbeat tempo than the usual songs. The cranky old white guy still loving your reactions. Much love to you and yours.

The singer didn't get stood up. He was waiting on the wrong street. If anything, he was standing her up. That's why he was running until he was breathless. Thematically, this song and Silhouettes (1957), by The Rays, and covered by Herman's Hermits, are very similar.

This was from the last Led Zeppelin album 'In through the out door' in 1979... It was written and recorded in late 1978 in Sweden, a year or so after singer Robert Plant lost his son Karac to a virus... According to their security guy Richard Cole, the sessions were rather somber and there was no partying like before. Jimmy Page (guitar) said he wanted Zeppelin to record 4 EP's and release them separately over the next year or so... However, Page was also struggling w/ a heroin addiction and wouldn't show up for sessions... John Bonham (drums) was also struggling w/ alcoholism. So, it fell on John Paul Jones to write a bulk of the music for the new album... he used his keyboard and arranging skills to use w/ the new synthesizers available in the studio. Robert Plant wrote the lyrics and melodies, including the song 'All my love' - to his late son. Jimmy Page was only somewhat involved and John Bonham complained that it wasn't a 'heavy rock' album... The plan to release 4 EP's fell through because there wasn't enough material from the sessions. Led Zeppelin announced 2 massive shows @ Knebworth, England to launch the coming new album 'In through the out door'... it was the first time they had played live in 2 years. The album became a massive comeback hit, charting at #1. A year later... John Bonham passed away from alcohol asphyxiation, and Led Zeppelin called it quits. In 1982, Jimmy Page collected Zeppelin's unreleased songs and put them out as the 'Coda' album.

The single from Led Zepplin and John Bonham's last album. Nice Latin tinge. My faves from this LP was "In The Evening" and "All My Love". Nice reaction guys!😎

Their swan song, released on Swan Song Records...

This has always been my favorite Led Zeppelin song. I live so many, but the playfulness gets me. Down by the seaside is also playful and different. You'd love it.

One of my favorites from Zep. I was just listening to this song today on my playlist today. :)

Love this song. I’ve been trying to play this as close to Bonzo as possible for 43 years. I’ve discovered a long time ago I ain’t no John Bonham. Haha. Its played as a shuffle with triplets and ghost notes that Mr Bonham dose so tastefully. I think I’ll go out to the woodshed and give it another hapless try. ;-)

I discovered Led Zeppelin in 1985, when I was 13 years old. I just knew that I had to do something Musical that could someday be 10% as awesome as Led Zeppelin. Nearly 40 years later, I am pleased to report that I am at least 10% as awesome as Led Zeppelin. LOL

Joe I completely understand. I have a buddy who’s a highly respected professional drummer, the talent level between me and him is crazy I’ll struggle with something and ask him and he’ll just play it like it no big deal. I’m like “are you serious Jeff ! “. Keep the 10% going bud I’m right there with ya.
