In me, it evoked images of misty ocean cliffs and dark forests- 'And when the owls cry in the night, oh baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry..." A truly magical song.

It breathes and learns from it's conception into adulthood to a point where it's own formative lessons become, in a sense, reality, around 22 for male and 20 for female. Once beyond this critical point it becomes exponentially harder for said individual to see beyond their self created mentality/reality. Not necessarily a criticism in itself to any human since it was most specifically created in such a way for this and among other, functions. Since the Ego is by it's perfectly designed mechanism unable to view itself and it's resulting actions, it instead looks for validation by other means. It seeks like a dying man of thirst or a man dying of thirst whichever way you would like to read it, (or woman 2023 hommes) walking through a barren desert with no end and no sustenance, a way to continue. Continuity cannot be achieved alone in a vacuum. Being locked in a room alone for an extended period of time usually causes extreme mental breakdown, although it may be said while being distressing to an individual it can often cause said individual to momentarily release themselves*, from their ego, thus glimpsing in a breath paradise, however it is visualized on the individuals cultural level. The same moment of realisation it is said can be achieved many different ways, although it is interesting to note how often we, if I may say we, hear it is a moment of extreme distress that shunts the mind into a different way of thinking, such a measure being required after the aforementioned passing of age. It is also very interesting that perhaps every single person in history (let's start a group and ban that word cuz we got nuthin better to do)that has travelled the veil and returned, within all cultures throughout time has one defining word they bring back from the netherworld.

we saw Zep twice and they sucked both times. Their records have a ton of overdubs on them and that's why the records sound good. But their live sound was weak as water. When Page switched from rhythm to lead and Jones moved from bass to keyboards it left big holes in the sound. I hope they don't reunite now. I'd go see the Macarena guys before I'd ever see Zep again. I know that will upset their fans but that's what my experience with them was like in their heyday.

I realize that the music was all composed, recorded and produced by Sholz and Depp in Sholz's basement and that they hired "the other band members" to perform live. But they did their share of touring and did a really good job live.

@@therottenrandy I had the misfortune of seeing them LIVE in 78 in Fort Worth. Sounded absolutely unlistenable as the headline act. For comparison Sammy Hagar opened and sounded great.

They only played When The Levee Breaks twice: once at a party before IV was released and once in Chicago on the 1972 tour.

Nope, they played it four times total, all four on the 75' tour. Once in Rotterdam, once in Ahoy, and twice in Chicago.
