Still got time

This was the FIRST live music I ever heard - BY ACCIDENT. Went to see Taj Mahal, the opening act for "some band" I never heard of (!) Got 8th row seats on the center aisle of a small, acoustically perfect classical music venue. I was pretty excited... Then the promoter came out and apologized; Taj's truck had broken down, and he wasn't going to make it. I wanted to leave, but my older brother wanted to stay. I remember that the promoter offered, "You can either have four hours of Led Zeppelin, or you can leave and get your $5 back." We stayed. That night, Jimmy Page ruined a perfectly good Boy Scout.

Not sure if the remaining Led Zeppelin guys will hit the road ever again, but perhaps someone like Santana or whoever from that general era might be doing some shows.

When I was a kid, we all thought of Jimmy Page as "lead guitar." Wasn't till I read some bios that I found out about Pagey's history. The guy was a session ace, he had a complete career before Zep. Zep was his vision, his idea of what a perfect mix of all the elements of the bands he'd been in before would be. He approached Zep as Producer and Arranger, not as guitarist. That's why he brought in a lead singer no one had heard anything like before, a drummer who he could feature as a lead instrument, and a second arranger his complete equal, the almighty JPJ. Greatest rock band ever? Pagey did it by design.

Also influential was his showmanship and stage theatrics as a live performer! Yes, I've thought to myself before, if people sometimes think Jimmy seems a bit full of himself, it's at least well earned. Just his contributions to music production would have merited him a solid place in the halls of rock history. That there's an argument to be made that he's also the best ever rock songwriter is astonishing. That neither of these things are even the particular musical talent _for which he's best known_ (I often hear him referred to as one of the 'guitar gods')...it's almost inconceivable. For those that don't know, before Zeppelin and The Yardbirds, Jimmy was one of the most sought-after session musicians in England, and he played guitar on dozens of hits back in the '60s.

To be fair Jimmy Page, in my opinion, was the greatest song arranger of the rock era.

Zeppelin's talent is unworldly.

In 1969, I was 15 years old, and remember vividly the first time I heard Ramble On. There was an incredibly powerful radio station out of Mexico (known for Wolfman Jack), that we got, very clearly, at night. I was laying in bed listening to a little alarm clock radio, and Ramble On came on. I almost broke down crying. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It was days before I found out what it was. It was the most incredible time to be 15, ever. The great music was just pouring out from everywhere. Me and my friends argued every day about what was the greatest new song. Great memories.

More than that, four musicians of incredible skill at the peak of their powers. It's why pretty much all the heavy metal bands (many of them very good) never got close to Zep. Jimmy Page was a consummate technical guitarist, Plant had a vocal range and skill one in a million, JPJ and Bonham were masters of their crafts. There have been very few bands of any kind, metal or not, who had musicians of such skill at each position. Then they turned it up to 11 and did things that were outrageous for the time and never matched since. The thing about Ramble On is it describes the style of the music and not just the lyrics. The song is relentless, even when it starts softly with a acoustic guitar and pitter-patter drums in the background, it reaches out, grabs you and takes you for a musical ride. That "click-track" drum beat is absolutely essential to the whole thing. It drives the song forward.

Interview with a guitarist- Rick: So in the bridge you decided to use V7 substitution from a parallel scale and then use a #5 mirrored from the bass player. Guitarist: Well, I was messing around and thought putting my pinkie on the 8th fret sounded cool! Guitar players come here to find out what they did.

There is no way this is a 'masterpiece'. It is weak melodically.

One thing I've always noticed about Plant, aside from the obvious, is that he is absolutely fearless as a vocalist. It's really fun to hear. He became so confident by the time the second album was recorded. Fantastic. And that isolated drum part..... good lord.

John Paul Jones was on FIRE on this track. A massive thank you to Rick for the time & effort that goes into this series. It immense.

I'm gonna' figure Jimmy Page just became a Rick Beato fan .. given that the boys likely made a decision to let this one re-post .. you know Jimmy just heard this, loved it, and told his management to stop their banhammering. .. I bet he's going through all the Beato stuff now. Learnin' jazz theory. :)

Logic has no place on the interweb, CM. What were you thinking??

Every time I hear this song it's like it's painting a picture of Autumn. I can just feel the crisp air and see the leaves falling. This tune never gets old....for me anyway. It's another testamaent to the genius of Page...and the musicianship of the Plant, Bonzo, and Jones to bring that vision to life. Still hard to believe this was released in 1969 because it always sounds so timeless to me.

I always go to RAMBLE ON as a zeppelin greatest hit I was there when it was released. And man !!the melody of Robert plant is unforgettable.

This Band Zeppelin... The voice of Plant, licks by Page, humming base by Jones and most of all the thunderous drums of Bonham... The gods are responsible in the creation of this band! They are just way ahead of their time, pure geniuses in their respective fields! Led Zepp forever!

No one in the history of rock music has (or likely ever will) match Robert Plant's feel and expression in his singing. Add to this his incredible smouldering stage presence and charisma, and you have the ultimate, undisputed rock frontman.

Ramble On has a nostalgia about it, as if it were always a part of the human psyche. It's as if I remember it from a previous life, even though I don't believe in such things. One of my favorite songs of all time.

Totally true your words,I feel the same way!

This is why I've always described Zep's music as 'alchemic' - you take four base elements and together you make gold. Infact; Page has said countless times that in interview 'look, listen to the music and then listen again to the guitar, then again to the bass and the vocals and the drums because you've got four master musicians right at the top of their game'. And that is Led Zeppelin - that is Zeppelin, right there...

Rock is very dead. When it returns to the mainstream then it will have risen from the ashes like the Phoenix. Rock dominated the charts because of The Beatles and it was huge up until the early '90s. After '92 grunge was the 'cool' thing to be into but here 30 yrs later we all know what garbage dominates the charts. There are still some great artiste around today of other genres like Taylor Swift ect but rock is showing no signs of coming back to energize us again:(

Musically and melodically I enjoy the beatles more too. Also they are the best selling band ever. But if anyone likes zeppelin more i guess i cannot argue.

My kids were never interested in my music but they were excited about the Lord of the Rings movies and books. One day while driving Ramble On was on the radio and I told the kids to listen to the lyrics and when they heard the references to Gollum and Mordor the look on their faces was priceless. They have been LZ fans ever since and now are turning their friends on to LZ at college.

I've thought you could build some means of discriminating between instruments using distinctions in their tambours (unique waveform sets that only the individual instruments can create), but I don't see how that can be done. I'm surprised anyone but Page would have access to these particular masters knowing how guarded he is with his IP.

Rick, I have been eating breathing and sleeping Zeppelin since I was 12 years old and I am 56 this is by far the best breakdown of a Zeppelin song I have ever seen in my life and I suspect Page, Plant and Jones have watched this and simply must feel overjoyed and justifiably so proud of what they accomplished here, mind you all of them were in their early twenties at the time this was recorded which is even more astonishing! This is truly a wonderful presentation and you are a master at showcasing the music we all love. But I have to end on a note of sadness that as a drummer all I can think of is how sad I am that John Bonham is not here to watch this video with the rest of us, but we must believe he is in a better place shining some light down on us and I'm sure he would have loved this.

Ramble On is a top 5 Zeppelin song for me. Songs like this demonstrate the genius of Zeppelin to me. Thank you for the teaching.

Everything about this song screams Led Zeppelin and in particular the masters voice Robert Plant

There is only one problem with this song: on the album it has to compete with at least six songs that are just as great. I have listened to thousands and thousands albums in the last 50 years, but when people ask what my favourite albums is I don’t even have to think: Led Zeppelin II. I’ve always taken Ramble On for granted, but this video showed me the true originality and musicianship on this recording. I still remember that in 1971 my mother found the hysterical screaming awful and could not understand that my brother and I were listening to this and, even worse, had payed 21 guilders for it!
