71 I was a sophmore in school. I spent many a day with my bros rockin to Zepplin. In 73 we saw them on stage in S.F. Old memories of a great time in our lives.
This is 1950s rock n roll with an 1970s style upgrade in honour of Fats Domino Jerry Lee Lewis Elvis Chuck Berry Eddie Cochran Link Wray and onwards That's All
Yeah, me too. Had some headphones and a cheap little record player from the Sears catalog and used to sit in my room playing this and my Stones records and others that I bought with my small allowance. Later on, got part time jobs and started buying more records.
This song was a spur of the moment song& was improvised & recorded in about 15-20 minutes. Drummer John Bonham was frustrated trying to get the song Four Sticks down. He was playing Four Sticks with 2 sticks in each hand, he stopped to take a break. Bonham started playing the introduction to Little Richard’s song Keep-A-Knocking. Page grabbed his guitar & started just free styling, plant & JPJ jumped in. My understanding, the were in the studio & the tape was already rolling. This song was the opening number to many concerts, as was The Immigrant Song. So we got two songs instead of just one, Rock & Roll & Four Sticks.
I was born in 61. First heard Zeppelin in 74. We were blown away by this new sound. The very best: Vocals Lead guitar Bass guitar Drums Can't go wrong!!
I really enjoy watching younger folks listen to these bands for the first time. It's the look of absolute amazement on your faces that I find so endearing. I've seen those looks before, it was how my friends looked at these concerts. And, I daresay, it was how I looked too. Great music, great memories, great reaction! I was 17 in '71 and I grew up in Vancouver, BC. I was fortunate to have seen Led Zeppelin three times. When I say fortunate, it's because a lot of bands, when they were touring, used to blow right by Vancouver. This was because our stadium could only take 20,000 people. So "money grubbing" bands like Santana or the Stones would bypass Vancouver entirely and go to Seattle instead. Not Led Zeppelin, they never missed Vancouver and we loved them for that.
1971 I was 13 years old, 7th grade, attending those horribly clumsy junior high school dances where everybody just stood around staring at each other. Until this song was played. Nobody could stay still when this played. My older brothers brought home all of the LZ albums and I played them even more than they did. "Fun." You said it. That whole era of music from about 1967 through the early 80s was, in my mind, the greatest time ever for new and imaginative music. And these guys were without a doubt, leading the charge.
Took them about 15 minutes to compose this song - it was a jam that started with John Bonham on drums, Jimmy chimed in, Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones was sitting at an old piano and he joined in with JPJ. Robert came up with lyrics that pulled from several old R&R songs plus what came to his mind. Bonham was frustrated trying to get Four Sticks and he started this Little Richard riff from “Keep A Knockin”. Jimmy told the band to forget Four Sticks and let’s go with this right now. He like the spontaneity and the creative combustion. I have been a fan since 1969, so when LZ IV came out in 1971, my brothers bought it and I’d sneak into their room and listen to it. This song made me immediately jump up and dance. It’s an upbeat, happy tune. After the supposedly “acoustic” LZ III, this song showed that Led Zeppelin could still rock it and rock it hard.
@@peterdoe2617 you are quite welcome. I have about 9 books on Led Zeppelin, Jimmy, and Robert. One of the most interesting is called LED ZEPPELIN / ALL THE SONGS / The Story Behind Every Track by Jean-Michel Guesdon & Phillips Margotin. It tells you everything you could possibly want to know about each album and then each song on the album. Truly, it has the most interesting info. Genesis of the Album, Genesis of each song. The production of each album and each song. Who played what. Where and when it was recorded and mixed. The technical team members. Plus fascinating insights about the band. I highly recommend it.
Seeing them do it on a live, you see how much fun they are having performing it. You also might want to do their other whole albums, each are fantastic. Their debut album, is the best debut album by any band, & they were only together about 2 months when it was recorded.
My wife and I just came out from the wedding photographers studio before heading to the usual wedding ceremony. The year was 1971.We both heard it and started to dance Boogie woogie by the entrance. People looked on us and some said, that poor boy don’t have a clue how big of a mess he is in. Today in 2024 we adopting dogs and a few weeks ago a little but aged boy was adopted by us. One day this song was on the radio and my wife ( still the same one ) and me started or wanted to start to dance. That little dog give us the same look as the people did in our wedding day, but the funny thing was, he was trying to protect the both of us from each others, as a reminder to be nice to each others or else!
Greetings from Scotland. I was lucky to see Zeppelin in 1975 following the release of Physical Graffiti. The one two of Rock 'n' Roll and Black Dog was special.
Haven't listened to that in many years was 15 in 71 be jealous. Like many others I grew up through this era some of the best rock if not the best in all the history of rock, it was raining rock & roll, we were soaking it up like a sponge.
2 years after graduation and I was going with the first love of my life. Led Zepplin was boss! It was considered underground music when it came out. Summers water skiing, tanning on the beach and going to music concerts and dancing. Times of loose airy light-hearted, care-free living. Then enlistment, basic training and going overseas during the Viet Nam War. Fortunately I went to Europe for 2 years where I saw Elton, Grand Funk, Beach Boys, Eagles, Guess Who, Clapton and every group that played in London every weekend '74- 76. Also, bartending in the NCO club on base I met all the Philly bands, Three Degrees, Stylistics, Spinners, Chairman of the Board, O-Jays end many more. Love the '60's and 70's.
I was in high school when Led 4 came out we always looked forward to a new LP from Zeppelin they never disappointed especially this one we seen them in concert every chance we could setting in the 3rd row once you always got your moneys worth they played for A long time I enjoy the reaction of the younger generation discovering Zeppelin it’s like reliving the memories
@@bodhibick2378 Mojave Desert, home of Death Valley, hottest spot on earth. Ive driven by your place on the way to Vegas numerous times, LOL. I lived in Torrance, southern LA County in 69-71 zep years. I know Ca. pretty well, and have heard of Apple valley many times.
What did it feel like to hear this for the first time? Same as it feels when I listen to it now. That’s why this song is such a classic. It never feels old or dated. It’s fresh and new every single time I hear it.
The Runes Album was mind blowing. Not a bad song on it. In fact several are bona fide classics. Welcome to 50+yr old music that is as fresh as the day it was conceived. The stars aligned when those four got together.
I was 15 in 1971 and at school. I had to beg for the money to buy this album and was just mind blown by the sheer exuberance and brilliance of it. This is one of my perennial favourite LZ tracks and is great driving music, windows open and volume cranked up ( I like to share) it never fails to lift my mood or take my mood even higher.....
I'm from Christchurch, NZ. I had just left school and started my first "career" job in public services. I remember playing this on constant rotation with my Jethro Tull and Cream, old Clapton (John Mayall, Cream, Derek and the Dominos) but Led Zeppelin is the one band I'll be a lifelong fan of until I die.
Let's see, 1971 junior or senior in high school. My friend John Comerford shows up at my house with this album. Mom's out so we spark up, drop it on my Gerard turntable connected to my Radio Shack amp and a pair of Ampex bookshelf speakers and proceed to begin to contribute to my future tinnitus problems. Not long after that we got to see them live at Madison Square Garden where they opened with Immigrant Song. The concert ran long and we missed the last Erie Lackawanna train back to NJ so the other guy we were with, whom we knew came from money though he never acted like it, made a pay phone call and next thing we knew we were in his Dad's limo heading back home. Good times...
I was waiting patiently in 1971 for that album to come into the store, it came out on my birthday. A year later I saw them live at the Apollo, then 3 years later I went to all 5 Earls Court nights. 4 years after that I caught their last ever UK gig at Knebworth Park...they are easily the best band in the world.
I was just out of college in 1971. I was a lead singer in a rock band when I was in college. I sang a bunch of Led Zeppelin songs in the band. I saw them in concert in 1969 and 1970. They were electrifying in person.
I was 11yrs old when this came out. What great music then and during my teen years. Thoroughly enjoyable to see people discover this for the first time that I have known for over 50 years….
I FUCKING LOVE what you are doing, every other reactor just listens to the songs, you hear the songs. You articulate how I feel about led zeppelin when I can’t. It’s just great to watch/hear. Thank you
I was 13 when that album came out. I absolutely loved it. They got quite a few songs from the 50s and made them better. They were one of the super bands where every song on the album is top notch. This particular song was a radio hit along with Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven. They were my favorite band in Jr. High and High School. My school friends and I used to party in a big station wagon with loose home speakers in the back later in 74 when Stairway to Heaven came on the radio. A lot of people drove around drunk back then including the parents. There was no such thing as the term, "designated driver". It was fun but dangerous.
2:12 No clue where I was when this album came out. I was born in 62, and the first album I heard by them was Led Zeppelin II. My musical knowledge was very limited at that time, since I was just 10 years old, but Whole Lotta Love was the greatest music I had ever heard at that time.
I was college freshman lining in NJ close to NYC. The fourth album was so diverse, Black Dog, Rock & Roll, When the Levee Breaks, Four Sticks and of course Stairway to Heaven. Each song so difference. I played guitar and bass in the 70s and since Led Zeppelin 1, my band covered Zeppelin songs. I saw them live July 29, 1973 in Madison Square Garden, one of the three nights that was filmed as part of their 'Song Remains The Same' movie. The four of them, Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham just meshed, their music, talent, and raw drive made them superstars. Their song catalogue was so diverse that listeners sometimes didn't realise the expanse and range of their talents. They ruled. Saw them again live in 1975. They are one of my top favorite bands, which also include Yes, Pink Floyd, The Who, Genesis, The Beatles, Moody Blues, of which I saw live with the exception of The Beatles, although I went to George Harrison's Bangladesh concert, and Pink Floyd. In fact, 'Thank You' from Led Zeppelin 2 is our wedding song.
The ultimate rock dance song. Good on ya for gettin' up and shaking it a little. Infectious beat without time changes, easy to move to, and it draws you into dance like a siren calling to a sailor.
I may have heard earlier, but officially, my brother got Zeppelin 4 for Christmas, 1973. We shared a room and a stereo. He also got Pink Floyd DSOTM and Wings Band on the Run. Great Christmas
I can remember hearing them played on a pirate radio station called Radio Luxembourg. I was 15 at the time. Once I could afford to buy the albums I found out how awesome their sounds was. Still love watching people like you Rosalie discovering them for the first time.
I was scheduled to work at a Led Zeppelin concert around this time give or take a year..., I was so looking forward to it. Sadly there was a riot at the Rolling Stones concert just days before so Vancouver City canceled Zeppelin! Stones concert was great though, I was lucky to get in as the riot was well underway when I arrived and the place was in lockdown mode. The doorman knew me so I got in at the Staff Entrance. Never got another chance to see Zep. This is such a rocker! I've seen Heart do this live around this time when they were here dodging the Vietnam draft.. Great tune. Cheers.
First time? 197I: I was a patient on 5th floor neurosurgery ward at Fitzsimmons Army medical center. I had a small transistor radio so me and three other casualties were rockin out as best we could...good times.
I’m 71 now but I was watching Zeppelin back then at festivals and concerts. Love that younger people are discovering one of the greatest rock bands, still have all their vinyl.
I wasn´t even born that year yet. But, my mum was young at the time and she loves this song!! Please, listen to this same song but the Celebration day version. It's amazing!!!
Check out the live version of Rock n Roll from the celebration day concert from the O2 in London in 2007, unbelievable how good they are at an older age 👌👌
That's not really Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin were those four musicians. There was no John Bonham. His son is good but he's not his father. Nowhere near him.
@@lyndoncmp5751 nor will he ever be but 3/4 of the original lineup and the last 1/4 being the son of the original drummer is about as good as it gets, Jason did his dad proud as the whole concert was a major success and for anyone who’s seen it would totally agree I think, to say it’s not Led Zeppelin is a pretty harsh statement in my opinion
I was way too young to have heard this (5 years old). I do remember some songs around this age, but it wasn't until about 1974 do I remember listening to this entire album.
My God I am getting old !!! I can't believe you have never heard this song before!! I was 8yrs old when this song came out! My mom played it on the radio and my life was never the same!!!!😊
1971 I was sophomore in high school and had been following LZ since their first album. My dad wouldn’t let me play the album on “his” stereo, which was the only one in the house. So I’d ride my bike to my friend John’s house where his mom would let us play as many times as we wanted to, as loud as we could get it. Good times with a ridiculous amount of awesome music to sample
I was -1 in 1971. But I've heard it at 15 in a friends party....from then is in every list I made and every collection of rock'n'roll I made for "newbies" (my nieces included)
I was born in 1974 so I wasn’t around for the release, but my dad graduated from high school in 1971 and he had all the Led Zeppelin albums up to Houses Of The Holy on vinyl, so I literally grew up listening to them. This has always been one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. I never tire of it.
I ❤ that inquisitiveness and sparkle you have in your eyes. You have a genuine ❤ for music and are thoughtful. I enjoy watching and listening to you. Nice dance jig girl! Where was I in 1971? I was 13 and invited a bunch of my school mates over when my parents were out of town and we got into the liquor cabinet and we .... 😎 Bob Seagered (sp) (Tom Cruised it to Risky Business ALL night long!). Yeah! Bunch of my friends and I went to see LZ at Day on the Green 💚 in Oakland, CA !! 🎉
13 years old in San Antonio and Lackland AFB. Zeppelin was a blues band inside a rock band. They took blues riffs and slayed them with a rock flair. Listen to When the Levee Breaks. Genius. Thinking took a normal riff and and Jimmy made it his own. Listen to Kia on in the background. Amazing.
Look at you...eating your banana pudding and rocking out to Led Zeppelin! Life is Good!🤣Zep loved Elvis and the Blues, especially American Blues! You will hear a lot of it sprinkled in and then there are some that are full on Blues!!! LOVE IT! For me...it was my record player with my headphones in my room cranked up, laying on the floor in my bell bottoms and being taken somewhere else and loving every minute of it! It made me feel good! My mother said I loved music in the womb...constantly moving when she played her music. I am a product of the 60s/70s and was privileged to have lived in this time where music was transforming to me between Progressive Rock, Rush, etc, and Heavy Metal, which LZ paved the way for...They were my heavy metal! Still have my albums, record player and headphones!! Rock On!
This song was always on the playlist at Jr. High sock hops. 1971 when I was in the 7th grade was the first time I heard it at one of those dances. Everyone always got up to dance when it was played.
The inspiration came from Little Richard's You Keep a Knockin. Bonham broke into the drum part in the studio, Jimmy grabbed his guitar and created the riff on the spot.
This was before I was born (I'm 48) but I remember listening to this in my buddy Kevin's garage back when I was a freshman in high school and being blown away.
I didn’t get my Zep on until freshman year of high school, 1979. I missed it when it was new lol. First album was III (3) and boy, did music change for ME.
My Led Zeppelin journey started in 1984. I had the Led Zeppelin 4 on cassette. I blew out my 6x9 Pioneer Speakers in my car listening to this album. I replaced my speakers with cheaper Sanyo brand, knowing I would blow out those speakers too. I've been a Led Head ever since.
I was one year old - probably nodding & dribbling! I was born in the adjoining village to where Rob Plant came from (where my dad came from - big Zep fan RIP) My mom came from the next village to John Bonham This song always carries me back, carries me back, carries me back (as a) baby where I come from!
I was 14, my class mate who had tons of records placed this on the turntable and it started out with Black dog, and I went directly to Rock´n roll heaven. Then this and I started to dance and play air guitar my face melted. The two remaining songs on this side are epic. The complete 4´th album is fantastic! Live is where this song really shines.
I found a picture of 9yr old me at sportsman's club learning to shoot a tiny little shotgun when this was released. Discovered Led Zeppelin 3 yrs later on the radio.
I was super young when this came out. I obviously heard a lot of Zep on the radio growing up tho. I was 17. My cousins girlfriend had runaway from home and the families ageeed she’s life with us: she lived with me in my attic room for the school year tho she’d dropped out. We were all into hardcore punk rock - back when piercing and Mohawks and guys with eyeliner could get you beat up. The two of us were moving into paychadwlic and other alternative music. I get really into the doors then both of us got way into Hendrix and Zeppelin. That was the first time I’d listen to this album front to back and of course it’s incredible. Really immersive.
I was 12 years old in 1970 and honestly I was late to the Led Zeppelin party. In my defense, I lived in a small city in the centre of BC Canada, where we had two AM radio stations, that DID NOT play much rock n roll. I do not remember getting introduced to Zeppelin until "In through the out door". But once I got into my late teens and found Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, I never looked back. Been a solid rock n roller ever since.
... I was 13 years old in 1971 & having very, very good times with friends in our selfmaneged "Church Club"-> some rooms in a small building close to a catholic (!) church provided to us by the priest there to keep us teens occupied in ' a safeway'... 🤔 So we met there regularly, learned about flirting.... and danced a lot, especially extreme headbanging was a must... Simple things, wonderful time 🎉😀... Thanks Rosalie, love from Crete... 🙋♀️🤗💞💪
Hi! I was born in '71 so I didn't have the distinct pleasure of hearing them/this until I got a bit older, in the late '70s I would say because I have a stepbrother who is 6 years older than me and he was responsible for turning me onto all the latest and greatest tunes back then. My favorite Decade is still the '80s though, and most of what I listen to these days is the same old stuff that I grew up on through middle and high school - KISS, Motley Crue, RATT, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, etc, etc, etc. 🙂
I was 20 at the time, having just served a tour in the army. I attended a concert of theirs while stationed stateside in Atlanta. I'd been a fan since album one track one, By 1971, they were rock and roll gods who strode the musical landscape head and shoulders above other Bands that Are legends in their own right. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Janis Joplin, and John Lennon, a small sampling of the incredible talent in that era which produced some of the greatest music ever. 50 years later, it's still popular, relevant, and appreciated Please consider another group from that era and one of my favorites as well.CSNY. From the iconic Suite: Judt Blue Eyes to the heavenly harmonies of 49 Bye Byes ,, they produced some of the best music of the era. Please give a listen, 49 bye bye sis fave.
In 1971 I was 13 years old, and I was still just developing my musical taste. I Grew up listening to my parents and grandparents music, and found myself drawn to Elvis, Jerry Lee, Ottis Reading, Booker T and the MG’s, and of course The Beatles. But then I was introduced to the likes of The Rolling Stones, ZZTOP, Cream, The Who, and of course Zeppelin around 1969. That’s when everything changed for me. As an older man now, I’ve come to enjoy many different genres, but my heart and soul are in Rock &Roll. 🎼🎸🥁🎹. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
While I bought this album back in '71, my favorite version of this song comes from about 6 years later. Way back on August 16th, 1977, man, it's been 47 years, ugh, during their encode, Heart pulled this one out and dedicated it to Elvis, the king of Rock and Roll, on the day he passed away.
I wasn't yet in kindergarten in 1971, so I can't speak to how the song landed initially. But in 1981 my buddies and I were playing this one in our garage band. We had a great drummer. He went pro when we got older.
Where was I when I first heard this album? Middle School shop class. Shop teachers tend to be cool and ours would allow us to put a record on while we were doing our woodworking projects. This was one of our favorites.
I was a sophomore in HS, and our band played this shortly after it came out. I was usually the lead singer, but our sax player had a vocal tone similar to Robert Plant, so he took the lead on this one. We also had a phenomenal drummer who was in 8th grade, and put us all to shame !! Great memories !! R.I.P. Bob Manno
in 71 i was 2.. but i discovered led zeppelin when i was about 9.. already a fairly decent guitar player.. because my father was a professional country fiddle player.. i grew up playing music with family.. but when i discovered rock music.. that set me off on a journey discovering different bands and playing all these songs.. Black Dog was the 1st Led Zeppelin song i heard.. i was hooked.. now.. 50+ years later.. I've covered their entire catalog at one time or another.. I've been in led zeppelin cover bands.. Rush cover bands.. Van Halen cover bands.. played everything thing from blues to metal.. country to classic rock.. zeppelin never gets old.. seeing you discovering it is so refreshing.. i love your reaction.. and you are so super sexy.. mmm.. daddy like..
It was played as an outro, when we where there at that concert in Bremen, 1980. 1971, I was only 11yrs old ;-) When Bonzo had passed away, it was even on the german "Tagesschau" (the news at 8pm). And I did cry for this loss. Believe it or not: we felt that Bonzo was more connected with us, audience, than any other member of the band was. And:YES! It is a song that makes you wanna jump around and dance! Timesless (if you're into this kinda music). Pure fun!
Good stuff, Rosalie! Well, I was only 2 when this came out, but I probably first heard this when I was in high school in the 80's. When I was a kid in the 70s LZ was more my older brother's speed. But I caught the Led Zeppelin bug big time in high school and have had it ever since! I saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in concert this Summer and they actually play a slowed-down, folky version of this, and other Zeppelin songs.
I was 10 years old in 1971, and I was just a couple of years away from really getting into music. When I DID get into music, this was it. Led Zeppelin IV was one of my first albums, and I was absolutely hooked! I went right out and got LZ I, II, and III as soon as I could save enough from cutting lawns. Rock & Roll is still one of my favorites. 3 or 4 of my Top 10 songs are from this one album, and a couple of others from other LZ albums. They are THAT good. Thanks for your input!!!! FYI, Heart does a fantastic rendition of Rock & Roll. You should look for it and listen - I have it on their Greatest Hits Live album. You raised a good point - this song sounds like earlier songs and is a nod to earlier genres. Reminds me a bit of Johnny B Goode in places, especially how it starts off.
1971 I was 12 in Jr high and all my friends were older that listened to LZ like I did. Not bad though it stuck with me and most girls I dated were older too.
Hi there! So I saw Zeppelin for the first time in the summer of 72 but I didn’t know their music at all and I was not familiar with any songs from this album, including Stairway, believe it or not! But within a couple of months after seeing them, I had every album and this song just brings me back to when I was 14 years old and getting my first stereo and listening to FM rock radio rather than AM pop radio. This band started it all for me and until the day I die they will be the greatest of all!
It's a shame the original Led Zeppelin stopped in 1980. And only in 2007 did they give a single reunion concert at the O2 Hall (they were so good there!) instead of going on tour again. John Bonham would certainly have said: “Keep going!” His son and John Paul Jones would have deserved it. But today, soft pop stars like Ed Sheran, Taylor Swift, Adele, Coldplay, etc. are filling stadiums around the world in a way that rock bands have never managed to do before. Not even the Rolling Stones today. Many stadiums with 70,000 seats even on five days in a row... Soft poppers, no rock bands... I don't understand that. It's a strange world today!...
1971 15 years old at college in the UK in the common room cutting class listening to music this album and also albums from Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, YES, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and one of my favorites Hawkwind. the rest of the time cutting class down the pub (underage) along with our lecturers discussing politics, literature, theatre, movies and of course music. did not pass many exams but learned a lot about the arts and life.
One of the great things about the 70s was waiting for Led Zeppelin's next album to be released, exciting times!
71 I was a sophmore in school. I spent many a day with my bros rockin to Zepplin. In 73 we saw them on stage in S.F. Old memories of a great time in our lives.
This is 1950s rock n roll with an 1970s style upgrade in honour of Fats Domino Jerry Lee Lewis Elvis Chuck Berry Eddie Cochran Link Wray and onwards That's All
Yeah, they were just kinda fooling around with this song and yet it's one of their best.
@@chrisoakley5830 Yes they made it very traditional and Jerry Lee use to say That's All after a song quite a bit
I was 10 in 1970 when i first heard their first album...LOVED THEM EVER SINCE! I was 11 years old rockin out to Zeppelin!!
Yeah, me too. Had some headphones and a cheap little record player from the Sears catalog and used to sit in my room playing this and my Stones records and others that I bought with my small allowance. Later on, got part time jobs and started buying more records.
One of the best rock and roll songs ever!
This song was a spur of the moment song& was improvised & recorded in about 15-20 minutes. Drummer John Bonham was frustrated trying to get the song Four Sticks down. He was playing Four Sticks with 2 sticks in each hand, he stopped to take a break. Bonham started playing the introduction to Little Richard’s song Keep-A-Knocking. Page grabbed his guitar & started just free styling, plant & JPJ jumped in. My understanding, the were in the studio & the tape was already rolling. This song was the opening number to many concerts, as was The Immigrant Song. So we got two songs instead of just one, Rock & Roll & Four Sticks.
😁👋👋 hi Ronnie!
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 hi how are you?
I was born in 61. First heard Zeppelin in 74. We were blown away by this new sound. The very best:
Vocals
Lead guitar
Bass guitar
Drums
Can't go wrong!!
And then along came Rush.
I really enjoy watching younger folks listen to these bands for the first time. It's the look of absolute amazement on your faces that I find so endearing. I've seen those looks before, it was how my friends looked at these concerts. And, I daresay, it was how I looked too. Great music, great memories, great reaction!
I was 17 in '71 and I grew up in Vancouver, BC. I was fortunate to have seen Led Zeppelin three times. When I say fortunate, it's because a lot of bands, when they were touring, used to blow right by Vancouver. This was because our stadium could only take 20,000 people. So "money grubbing" bands like Santana or the Stones would bypass Vancouver entirely and go to Seattle instead. Not Led Zeppelin, they never missed Vancouver and we loved them for that.
1971 I was 13 years old, 7th grade, attending those horribly clumsy junior high school dances where everybody just stood around staring at each other. Until this song was played. Nobody could stay still when this played. My older brothers brought home all of the LZ albums and I played them even more than they did. "Fun." You said it. That whole era of music from about 1967 through the early 80s was, in my mind, the greatest time ever for new and imaginative music. And these guys were without a doubt, leading the charge.
Took them about 15 minutes to compose this song - it was a jam that started with John Bonham on drums, Jimmy chimed in, Ian Stewart of the Rolling Stones was sitting at an old piano and he joined in with JPJ. Robert came up with lyrics that pulled from several old R&R songs plus what came to his mind. Bonham was frustrated trying to get Four Sticks and he started this Little Richard riff from “Keep A Knockin”. Jimmy told the band to forget Four Sticks and let’s go with this right now. He like the spontaneity and the creative combustion.
I have been a fan since 1969, so when LZ IV came out in 1971, my brothers bought it and I’d sneak into their room and listen to it. This song made me immediately jump up and dance. It’s an upbeat, happy tune. After the supposedly “acoustic” LZ III, this song showed that Led Zeppelin could still rock it and rock it hard.
It is these insight that 'm here for! Thanks a ton!
@@peterdoe2617 you are quite welcome. I have about 9 books on Led Zeppelin, Jimmy, and Robert. One of the most interesting is called LED ZEPPELIN / ALL THE SONGS / The Story Behind Every Track by Jean-Michel Guesdon & Phillips Margotin.
It tells you everything you could possibly want to know about each album and then each song on the album. Truly, it has the most interesting info. Genesis of the Album, Genesis of each song. The production of each album and each song. Who played what. Where and when it was recorded and mixed. The technical team members. Plus fascinating insights about the band. I highly recommend it.
Gotta love Stu! RIP
Seeing them do it on a live, you see how much fun they are having performing it. You also might want to do their other whole albums, each are fantastic. Their debut album, is the best debut album by any band, & they were only together about 2 months when it was recorded.
At a friend's house, smokin dope, drinkin beer. I was 13.
My wife and I just came out from the wedding photographers studio before heading to the usual wedding ceremony. The year was 1971.We both heard it and started to dance Boogie woogie by the entrance. People looked on us and some said, that poor boy don’t have a clue how big of a mess he is in. Today in 2024 we adopting dogs and a few weeks ago a little but aged boy was adopted by us. One day this song was on the radio and my wife ( still the same one ) and me started or wanted to start to dance. That little dog give us the same look as the people did in our wedding day, but the funny thing was, he was trying to protect the both of us from each others, as a reminder to be nice to each others or else!
Greetings from Scotland. I was lucky to see Zeppelin in 1975 following the release of Physical Graffiti. The one two of Rock 'n' Roll and Black Dog was special.
Have u seen the take of Black Dog that Robert and Alison Krauss did? IT#s not on the album raising sands. But here on YT in a few vids.
First time I heard this song was in the second row at Newcastle City Hall (UK), watching Led Zep live on stage. A wow moment if ever there was one.
Haven't listened to that in many years was 15 in 71 be jealous. Like many others I grew up through this era some of the best rock if not the best in all the history of rock, it was raining rock & roll, we were soaking it up like a sponge.
2 years after graduation and I was going with the first love of my life. Led Zepplin was boss! It was considered underground music when it came out. Summers water skiing, tanning on the beach and going to music concerts and dancing. Times of loose airy light-hearted, care-free living. Then enlistment, basic training and going overseas during the Viet Nam War. Fortunately I went to Europe for 2 years where I saw Elton, Grand Funk, Beach Boys, Eagles, Guess Who, Clapton and every group that played in London every weekend '74- 76. Also, bartending in the NCO club on base I met all the Philly bands, Three Degrees, Stylistics, Spinners, Chairman of the Board, O-Jays end many more. Love the '60's and 70's.
First year in school 🤣 our neighbor showed me the music . It was a feeling someone looked in my mind . Since this time I was addicted to Rock'n'Roll.
I was in high school when Led 4 came out we always looked forward to a new LP from Zeppelin they never disappointed especially this one we seen them in concert every chance we could setting in the 3rd row once you always got your moneys worth they played for A long time I enjoy the reaction of the younger generation discovering Zeppelin it’s like reliving the memories
I was 14 in California. I immediately entered the beat and energy and was absorbed in joy and freedom. A celebration of being! A total release! 😃❤️🙏
Where in Cali?
@@_TheLONEwolf Apple Valley in the Mojave Desert.
@@bodhibick2378 Mojave Desert, home of Death Valley, hottest spot on earth. Ive driven by your place on the way to Vegas numerous times, LOL. I lived in Torrance, southern LA County in 69-71 zep years. I know Ca. pretty well, and have heard of Apple valley many times.
Led Zeppelin is still a celebration of joy and freedom.
What did it feel like to hear this for the first time? Same as it feels when I listen to it now. That’s why this song is such a classic. It never feels old or dated. It’s fresh and new every single time I hear it.
The Runes Album was mind blowing. Not a bad song on it. In fact several are bona fide classics.
Welcome to 50+yr old music that is as fresh as the day it was conceived.
The stars aligned when those four got together.
A lot of critics complained that the third album was too acoustic. This was Zep's finger in the air response to those critics.
I was 15 in 1971 and at school. I had to beg for the money to buy this album and was just mind blown by the sheer exuberance and brilliance of it. This is one of my perennial favourite LZ tracks and is great driving music, windows open and volume cranked up ( I like to share) it never fails to lift my mood or take my mood even higher.....
I'm from Christchurch, NZ. I had just left school and started my first "career" job in public services. I remember playing this on constant rotation with my Jethro Tull and Cream, old Clapton (John Mayall, Cream, Derek and the Dominos) but Led Zeppelin is the one band I'll be a lifelong fan of until I die.
Great reaction!!!
Let's see, 1971 junior or senior in high school. My friend John Comerford shows up at my house with this album. Mom's out so we spark up, drop it on my Gerard turntable connected to my Radio Shack amp and a pair of Ampex bookshelf speakers and proceed to begin to contribute to my future tinnitus problems. Not long after that we got to see them live at Madison Square Garden where they opened with Immigrant Song. The concert ran long and we missed the last Erie Lackawanna train back to NJ so the other guy we were with, whom we knew came from money though he never acted like it, made a pay phone call and next thing we knew we were in his Dad's limo heading back home. Good times...
I was waiting patiently in 1971 for that album to come into the store, it came out on my birthday. A year later I saw them live at the Apollo, then 3 years later I went to all 5 Earls Court nights. 4 years after that I caught their last ever UK gig at Knebworth Park...they are easily the best band in the world.
I was just out of college in 1971. I was a lead singer in a rock band when I was in college. I sang a bunch of Led Zeppelin songs in the band. I saw them in concert in 1969 and 1970. They were electrifying in person.
I was 11yrs old when this came out. What great music then and during my teen years. Thoroughly enjoyable to see people discover this for the first time that I have known for over 50 years….
Love the drive of this song. Definitely a great one to cruise fast too.
I was a senior in high school we listened to this and the many other great albums that came out in 1971. One of the best years ever in rock and roll.
Absolutely, me too!!
LZ played The Whisky (Hollywood) Jan 4 -6, 1968 on their first US tour. That was 3 weeks before the Tet Offensive in Vietnam. Time flies...
I FUCKING LOVE what you are doing, every other reactor just listens to the songs, you hear the songs. You articulate how I feel about led zeppelin when I can’t. It’s just great to watch/hear. Thank you
I was 13 when that album came out. I absolutely loved it. They got quite a few songs from the 50s and made them better. They were one of the super bands where every song on the album is top notch. This particular song was a radio hit along with Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven. They were my favorite band in Jr. High and High School. My school friends and I used to party in a big station wagon with loose home speakers in the back later in 74 when Stairway to Heaven came on the radio. A lot of people drove around drunk back then including the parents. There was no such thing as the term, "designated driver". It was fun but dangerous.
My dad was a Zep fan. I grew up with 70s rock bands. It's cool seeing that good music stands the test of time.
This song has been stuck in my head randomly today so this is perfect
2:12 No clue where I was when this album came out. I was born in 62, and the first album I heard by them was Led Zeppelin II. My musical knowledge was very limited at that time, since I was just 10 years old, but Whole Lotta Love was the greatest music I had ever heard at that time.
Led Zepplin started everything. 71 I was 13 working the fields and orchards on the Idaho Oregon border then listening to this before bed.
But don't forget they had influences too, the old blues guys specifically.
I was college freshman lining in NJ close to NYC. The fourth album was so diverse, Black Dog, Rock & Roll, When the Levee Breaks, Four Sticks and of course Stairway to Heaven. Each song so difference. I played guitar and bass in the 70s and since Led Zeppelin 1, my band covered Zeppelin songs. I saw them live July 29, 1973 in Madison Square Garden, one of the three nights that was filmed as part of their 'Song Remains The Same' movie. The four of them, Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham just meshed, their music, talent, and raw drive made them superstars. Their song catalogue was so diverse that listeners sometimes didn't realise the expanse and range of their talents. They ruled. Saw them again live in 1975. They are one of my top favorite bands, which also include Yes, Pink Floyd, The Who, Genesis, The Beatles, Moody Blues, of which I saw live with the exception of The Beatles, although I went to George Harrison's Bangladesh concert, and Pink Floyd. In fact, 'Thank You' from Led Zeppelin 2 is our wedding song.
The ultimate rock dance song. Good on ya for gettin' up and shaking it a little. Infectious beat without time changes, easy to move to, and it draws you into dance like a siren calling to a sailor.
I may have heard earlier, but officially, my brother got Zeppelin 4 for Christmas, 1973.
We shared a room and a stereo.
He also got Pink Floyd DSOTM and Wings Band on the Run.
Great Christmas
I can remember hearing them played on a pirate radio station called Radio Luxembourg. I was 15 at the time. Once I could afford to buy the albums I found out how awesome their sounds was. Still love watching people like you Rosalie discovering them for the first time.
I was scheduled to work at a Led Zeppelin concert around this time give or take a year..., I was so looking forward to it. Sadly there was a riot at the Rolling Stones concert just days before so Vancouver City canceled Zeppelin! Stones concert was great though, I was lucky to get in as the riot was well underway when I arrived and the place was in lockdown mode. The doorman knew me so I got in at the Staff Entrance. Never got another chance to see Zep.
This is such a rocker! I've seen Heart do this live around this time when they were here dodging the Vietnam draft.. Great tune. Cheers.
First time? 197I: I was a patient on 5th floor neurosurgery ward at Fitzsimmons Army medical center. I had a small transistor radio so me and three other casualties were rockin out as best we could...good times.
Just seeing the album turning brought me right back to 1978 when I was 15 in my bedroom with headphones and a joint. Beautiful!
I’m 71 now but I was watching Zeppelin back then at festivals and concerts. Love that younger people are discovering one of the greatest rock bands, still have all their vinyl.
I wasn´t even born that year yet. But, my mum was young at the time and she loves this song!! Please, listen to this same song but the Celebration day version. It's amazing!!!
Check out the live version of Rock n Roll from the celebration day concert from the O2 in London in 2007, unbelievable how good they are at an older age 👌👌
That's not really Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin were those four musicians. There was no John Bonham. His son is good but he's not his father. Nowhere near him.
@@lyndoncmp5751 nor will he ever be but 3/4 of the original lineup and the last 1/4 being the son of the original drummer is about as good as it gets, Jason did his dad proud as the whole concert was a major success and for anyone who’s seen it would totally agree I think, to say it’s not Led Zeppelin is a pretty harsh statement in my opinion
I was way too young to have heard this (5 years old). I do remember some songs around this age, but it wasn't until about 1974 do I remember listening to this entire album.
My God I am getting old !!! I can't believe you have never heard this song before!! I was 8yrs old when this song came out! My mom played it on the radio and my life was never the same!!!!😊
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin
I was learning how to play guitar 😊
1971 I was sophomore in high school and had been following LZ since their first album. My dad wouldn’t let me play the album on “his” stereo, which was the only one in the house. So I’d ride my bike to my friend John’s house where his mom would let us play as many times as we wanted to, as loud as we could get it. Good times with a ridiculous amount of awesome music to sample
I was -1 in 1971. But I've heard it at 15 in a friends party....from then is in every list I made and every collection of rock'n'roll I made for "newbies" (my nieces included)
I was born in 1974 so I wasn’t around for the release, but my dad graduated from high school in 1971 and he had all the Led Zeppelin albums up to Houses Of The Holy on vinyl, so I literally grew up listening to them. This has always been one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. I never tire of it.
I ❤ that inquisitiveness and sparkle you have in your eyes. You have a genuine ❤ for music and are thoughtful. I enjoy watching and listening to you. Nice dance jig girl! Where was I in 1971? I was 13 and invited a bunch of my school mates over when my parents were out of town and we got into the liquor cabinet and we .... 😎 Bob Seagered (sp) (Tom Cruised it to Risky Business ALL night long!). Yeah! Bunch of my friends and I went to see LZ at Day on the Green 💚 in Oakland, CA !! 🎉
13 years old in San Antonio and Lackland AFB. Zeppelin was a blues band inside a rock band. They took blues riffs and slayed them with a rock flair. Listen to When the Levee Breaks. Genius. Thinking took a normal riff and and Jimmy made it his own. Listen to Kia on in the background. Amazing.
Look at you...eating your banana pudding and rocking out to Led Zeppelin! Life is Good!🤣Zep loved Elvis and the Blues, especially American Blues! You will hear a lot of it sprinkled in and then there are some that are full on Blues!!! LOVE IT! For me...it was my record player with my headphones in my room cranked up, laying on the floor in my bell bottoms and being taken somewhere else and loving every minute of it! It made me feel good! My mother said I loved music in the womb...constantly moving when she played her music. I am a product of the 60s/70s and was privileged to have lived in this time where music was transforming to me between Progressive Rock, Rush, etc, and Heavy Metal, which LZ paved the way for...They were my heavy metal! Still have my albums, record player and headphones!! Rock On!
This song was always on the playlist at Jr. High sock hops. 1971 when I was in the 7th grade was the first time I heard it at one of those dances.
Everyone always got up to dance when it was played.
I was 10, my dad was a Zeppelin fan and played it quite often 😊
My second year in high school was in 1971. Played at a high school dance on a friday night,
The inspiration came from Little Richard's You Keep a Knockin. Bonham broke into the drum part in the studio, Jimmy grabbed his guitar and created the riff on the spot.
This was before I was born (I'm 48) but I remember listening to this in my buddy Kevin's garage back when I was a freshman in high school and being blown away.
Rosalie, I was 16 and rockin' out to this when it was released.
I didn’t get my Zep on until freshman year of high school, 1979. I missed it when it was new lol. First album was III (3) and boy, did music change for ME.
I had this album back in the day, 17 years old, couple of puffs and a few beers with the mates and into it, party time. Lol
My Led Zeppelin journey started in 1984. I had the Led Zeppelin 4 on cassette. I blew out my 6x9 Pioneer Speakers in my car listening to this album. I replaced my speakers with cheaper Sanyo brand, knowing I would blow out those speakers too. I've been a Led Head ever since.
i was only 2yo. but as a toddler i was blessed with very cool teenaged uncles that introduced me. fondest childhood memories chilling with them
I was one year old - probably nodding & dribbling!
I was born in the adjoining village to where Rob Plant came from (where my dad came from - big Zep fan RIP)
My mom came from the next village to John Bonham
This song always carries me back, carries me back, carries me back (as a) baby where I come from!
I was 14, my class mate who had tons of records placed this on the turntable and it started out with Black dog, and I went directly to Rock´n roll heaven. Then this and I started to dance and play air guitar my face melted. The two remaining songs on this side are epic. The complete 4´th album is fantastic! Live is where this song really shines.
I found a picture of 9yr old me at sportsman's club learning to shoot a tiny little shotgun when this was released. Discovered Led Zeppelin 3 yrs later on the radio.
I was super young when this came out. I obviously heard a lot of Zep on the radio growing up tho.
I was 17. My cousins girlfriend had runaway from home and the families ageeed she’s life with us: she lived with me in my attic room for the school year tho she’d dropped out. We were all into hardcore punk rock - back when piercing and Mohawks and guys with eyeliner could get you beat up. The two of us were moving into paychadwlic and other alternative music. I get really into the doors then both of us got way into Hendrix and Zeppelin. That was the first time I’d listen to this album front to back and of course it’s incredible. Really immersive.
I was 12 years old in 1970 and honestly I was late to the Led Zeppelin party. In my defense, I lived in a small city in the centre of BC Canada, where we had two AM radio stations, that DID NOT play much rock n roll. I do not remember getting introduced to Zeppelin until "In through the out door". But once I got into my late teens and found Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, I never looked back. Been a solid rock n roller ever since.
... I was 13 years old in 1971 & having very, very good times with friends in our selfmaneged "Church Club"-> some rooms in a small building close to a catholic (!) church provided to us by the priest there to keep us teens occupied in ' a safeway'... 🤔 So we met there regularly, learned about flirting.... and danced a lot, especially extreme headbanging was a must... Simple things, wonderful time 🎉😀... Thanks Rosalie, love from Crete... 🙋♀️🤗💞💪
Hi! I was born in '71 so I didn't have the distinct pleasure of hearing them/this until I got a bit older, in the late '70s I would say because I have a stepbrother who is 6 years older than me and he was responsible for turning me onto all the latest and greatest tunes back then. My favorite Decade is still the '80s though, and most of what I listen to these days is the same old stuff that I grew up on through middle and high school - KISS, Motley Crue, RATT, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, etc, etc, etc. 🙂
Led Zeppelin "How many more times" Need to listen to it.
I was 20 at the time, having just served a tour in the army. I attended a concert of theirs while stationed stateside in Atlanta. I'd been a fan since album one track one, By 1971, they were rock and roll gods who strode the musical landscape head and shoulders above other Bands that Are legends in their own right. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Janis Joplin, and John Lennon, a small sampling of the incredible talent in that era which produced some of the greatest music ever. 50 years later, it's still popular, relevant, and appreciated Please consider another group from that era and one of my favorites as well.CSNY. From the iconic Suite: Judt Blue Eyes to the heavenly harmonies of 49 Bye Byes ,, they produced some of the best music of the era. Please give a listen, 49 bye bye sis fave.
In 1971 I was 13 years old, and I was still just developing my musical taste. I Grew up listening to my parents and grandparents music, and found myself drawn to Elvis, Jerry Lee, Ottis Reading, Booker T and the MG’s, and of course The Beatles. But then I was introduced to the likes of The Rolling Stones, ZZTOP, Cream, The Who, and of course Zeppelin around 1969. That’s when everything changed for me. As an older man now, I’ve come to enjoy many different genres, but my heart and soul are in Rock &Roll. 🎼🎸🥁🎹. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
I was 14 when I first hear this record back in 1971 and by the summer of 1977 at 19, I saw them at the kingdom in Seattle and what a concert it was.😁
While I bought this album back in '71, my favorite version of this song comes from about 6 years later. Way back on August 16th, 1977, man, it's been 47 years, ugh, during their encode, Heart pulled this one out and dedicated it to Elvis, the king of Rock and Roll, on the day he passed away.
I probably heard this first around 1976..as a kid in England. I discovered a lot of cool music back then.
I wasn't yet in kindergarten in 1971, so I can't speak to how the song landed initially. But in 1981 my buddies and I were playing this one in our garage band. We had a great drummer. He went pro when we got older.
I was 10 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and I've been hooked ever since. The song was Black Dog. I saw them in Dallas, TX, when I was 17.
Where was I when I first heard this album? Middle School shop class. Shop teachers tend to be cool and ours would allow us to put a record on while we were doing our woodworking projects. This was one of our favorites.
I was 6 I '71 but not til I was in high school did I learn anything about this amazing band.
I was a sophomore in HS, and our band played this shortly after it came out. I was usually the lead singer, but our sax player had a vocal tone similar to Robert Plant, so he took the lead on this one. We also had a phenomenal drummer who was in 8th grade, and put us all to shame !!
Great memories !!

in 71 i was 2.. but i discovered led zeppelin when i was about 9.. already a fairly decent guitar player.. because my father was a professional country fiddle player.. i grew up playing music with family.. but when i discovered rock music.. that set me off on a journey discovering different bands and playing all these songs.. Black Dog was the 1st Led Zeppelin song i heard.. i was hooked.. now.. 50+ years later.. I've covered their entire catalog at one time or another.. I've been in led zeppelin cover bands.. Rush cover bands.. Van Halen cover bands.. played everything thing from blues to metal.. country to classic rock.. zeppelin never gets old.. seeing you discovering it is so refreshing.. i love your reaction.. and you are so super sexy.. mmm.. daddy like..
It was played as an outro, when we where there at that concert in Bremen, 1980. 1971, I was only 11yrs old ;-)
When Bonzo had passed away, it was even on the german "Tagesschau" (the news at 8pm). And I did cry for this loss. Believe it or not: we felt that Bonzo was more connected with us, audience,
than any other member of the band was. And:YES! It is a song that makes you wanna jump around and dance!
Timesless (if you're into this kinda music). Pure fun!
Born in 72. 52 now. 70's, 80's were great decades to grow up in. :) Zepplin is great.
Good stuff, Rosalie! Well, I was only 2 when this came out, but I probably first heard this when I was in high school in the 80's. When I was a kid in the 70s LZ was more my older brother's speed. But I caught the Led Zeppelin bug big time in high school and have had it ever since! I saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss in concert this Summer and they actually play a slowed-down, folky version of this, and other Zeppelin songs.
I was 10 years old in 1971, and I was just a couple of years away from really getting into music. When I DID get into music, this was it. Led Zeppelin IV was one of my first albums, and I was absolutely hooked! I went right out and got LZ I, II, and III as soon as I could save enough from cutting lawns. Rock & Roll is still one of my favorites. 3 or 4 of my Top 10 songs are from this one album, and a couple of others from other LZ albums. They are THAT good. Thanks for your input!!!!
FYI, Heart does a fantastic rendition of Rock & Roll. You should look for it and listen - I have it on their Greatest Hits Live album.
You raised a good point - this song sounds like earlier songs and is a nod to earlier genres. Reminds me a bit of Johnny B Goode in places, especially how it starts off.
17, senior in high school, got a lifeguard job at Oak Street Beach in Chicago that summer, & I was on top of the world.
hell yes awesome tune here
1971 I was 12 in Jr high and all my friends were older that listened to LZ like I did. Not bad though it stuck with me and most girls I dated were older too.
In 71 I was a junior in college and recently married. Life and music were very good back then.
I was a 9 year old listening to my older brother and sister playing albums. I had no idea about the greatness I was hearing.
Hi there! So I saw Zeppelin for the first time in the summer of 72 but I didn’t know their music at all and I was not familiar with any songs from this album, including Stairway, believe it or not! But within a couple of months after seeing them, I had every album and this song just brings me back to when I was 14 years old and getting my first stereo and listening to FM rock radio rather than AM pop radio. This band started it all for me and until the day I die they will be the greatest of all!
It's a shame the original Led Zeppelin stopped in 1980. And only in 2007 did they give a single reunion concert at the O2 Hall (they were so good there!) instead of going on tour again. John Bonham would certainly have said: “Keep going!” His son and John Paul Jones would have deserved it. But today, soft pop stars like Ed Sheran, Taylor Swift, Adele, Coldplay, etc. are filling stadiums around the world in a way that rock bands have never managed to do before. Not even the Rolling Stones today. Many stadiums with 70,000 seats even on five days in a row... Soft poppers, no rock bands... I don't understand that. It's a strange world today!...
I was in school in 1971, I went to my Brothers high school graduation in June 0f '71.
1971 15 years old at college in the UK in the common room cutting class listening to music this album and also albums from Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, YES, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and one of my favorites Hawkwind. the rest of the time cutting class down the pub (underage) along with our lecturers discussing politics, literature, theatre, movies and of course music. did not pass many exams but learned a lot about the arts and life.
I remember my brother playing this at the time. 1st song by Zep I knew. LZ IV is still my fave album.
