Ten Years Gone and The Rain Song are my two favorite Zep songs. Both such emotional, moving songs.
Totally agree
Agree, adding the incredible version of these two songs made by the Jason Bonham band
My two favorite Led Zeppelin songs as well!
Same for me. Can't decide which is #1..
i just love the way the rain song ends..... ten years gone as well. They end so perfectly. Zep just have such deep emotion in their songs that just stick with you for life.
The older I get, the more I feel this just may be the ultimate Zeppelin masterpiece. A true labor of love.
I get that feeling too. When I was 15 it was all about about their heavy rock sound on the early albums. Now, in my 50's, I go for the more experimental sounds on the later albums.
Even as a young man this reched deep into me, the wistfulness of it. Not your typical page solo, Jimmy was far more sparse in this, he really used the space to tell his story. Just absolutely majestic!
Beautiful song. Unusual chords. Page was a genius.
And don’t forget that awesome solo
Absolutely! He sure IS
And he had very good help from JPJ's bass.
They were all amazing and exceptionally talented. JPJ, Bonzo, Plant and the maestro Page. Jimmy was the creative driving force of the band. He was a guitarist, songwriter, composer, producer, music engineer, business manager etc. He did it all on his terms and was absolutely brilliant.
Was thinking the same thing as I listened to this song for the umpteenth time. Jimmy was and still is a genius.
Only Zeppelin could go from delicate and beautiful to epic and profound with such ease and have it make sense. Page was a musical Wizard.
They each were
And Jones. And Bonham. And Plant.
The "light and shade" as Page himself said it referring to their sound 😎
@@IZZYMX5 the whisper, and the thunder.
Physical Graffiti man, one of the best albums ever made, almost every song is astounding.
Desert island LP for me along with wu tang forever and Abby road
One of my top 5 Zeppelin songs. Beautiful. Almost brings me to tears at times
Agreed, was gonna say the same. Top 5 for sure.
Almost??
@@scottweinstein8908 the beer helped with the tears for me ;). I remember sitting on the rooftop and playing this for the entire neighborhood.
#5 for me, so I agree
debateable but easily top 3 for me
This song is a perfect example of what Jimmy used to call his "guitar army".
JPJ is soooo good! Just the perfect bassline.
Genius like Jimmy
Hearing Jonesy on isolated tracks they did is eye-opening. There was no weak link in the chain that was Led Zeppelin, Each member was showcased as much as possible without over-shadowing the others in the process
John Paul Jones was indispensable to making this band what it was. No question. He was the glue.
Good chance the bass on this track is also Page. Nearly identical to the demo.
Nearly 50 years after I first heard this it still makes me emotional. 4 musicians at the height of their powers with probably my favourite LZ track
No doubt. In the light was the backdrop to my first shroom trip. Changed my life
One of the best songs from Led Zeppelin's best album. You just can't go wrong anywhere on this album.
Best double album.... ever
This song sends chills down my spine still to this day.
Exactly 💯
Every Zeppelin album has a distinct feel. Physical Graffiti always makes me think of rain in the English countryside.
This whole album is awesome.
Way back in 1975, in high school, working part-time for around $3 an hour i dropped the $12 for this record.
One of my favorites.
Me too!!
I was only $2 an hour in 75
I found a copy at a used cd shop in the late 90s for a couple bucks. My dad had mentioned those zeppelin guys so I tossed it in with the other dreck I was buying.
Good choice, in retrospect.
Records were only $4-5. back then, LOL I know as I had about a hundred.
8 track tape.
I love how Roberts voice just blends into the music, like its just another instrument. Because it is.
As an old Zep fan I actually prefer this to Stairway, that’s not to say it’s a better song but to me this has more feeling.
And not as cliche
The Rain Song too
@@tompatchak8706 Stairway wasn't cliche when it was released. This don't seem like a fair comment.
@@splitimage137. aye, but it is now.
@splitimage137
Excellent riposte.
One of my favorite songs, from a favorite album, from a favorite band. Simply an elegantly orchestrated and beautiful song. It fills me with a sense of longing and nostalgia for a time we'll never see again exept in our memories.
This song and In The Light from Physical Graffiti, as well as, Achilles Last Stand and Tea For One, from their Presence Album in 1976. Absolutely incredibly composed, arranged, and emotionally executed with musicianship unequaled.
Personally, I could never grab on to their Presence Album. I purchased the album at the time, listened to it, though, there was nothing there that grabbed me. I can agree with you on the track "In The Light". Fabulous!
@@marlachristensen2076 I think a lot of people felt that way about Presence when it came out... but I really dug it - and still do. I think overall it's underrated. Lots of good stuff on it - Achilles, Nobody's Fault, as well as all of the rest of the lesser known hidden gems like the criminally under heard/under appreciated Tea for One, as @awmerriam4 mentioned.
Unpopular opinion: I actually prefer Presence to "In Through the Out Door" even though ITtOD was more commercially successful (a bit too much synth for me. lol).
EDIT: Also, though not released until the 2015 Deluxe Edition of Presence, "10 Ribs & All/Carrot Pod Pod (Pod)" is just gorgeous:
ruclips.net/video/61CNBf8tY4g/видео.html
@lafelong I agree. Presence, in my humble opinion, is a better album than In Through the Out Door.
@@lafelong oo. I forgot about 'In Through the Out Door'. Er, not my cup of tea either.
Though what I do like at what you are saying here is that you really hold tight to your way of listening to Led Zeppelin. This is very important. My tastes do not (always) surpass others' tastes.
And, really, there is so much out there for everyone! I reiterate, it is very important for people to hold tight to music as they hear it through their ears. Everyone's life experiences are so different and the way any piece of music grabs onto you at whatever time it happens to be, hang onto it. It is something that will never go away.
Yes, Achilles Last Stand. Absolutely a candidate. The whole album is great.
Jimmy Page and his "guitar army". I remember him talking about that in an interview once, and this is one of my absolute favorite Zep songs and this is one of those I always am reminded of that statement.
Complex, emotional and beautiful song….the way JPJ’s bass follows along in harmony with Jimmy Page’s guitar throughout, particularly in that drop-tone progression, gets me every time.
Yet another reason why this is probably my favorite LZ album!
Physical Graffiti is an absolute masterpiece and I don't use that word lightly. Would be a treat to see you react to every song from it.
Exactly.
Not just the best Zep song, one of the best ever period!
Sorry, I don't use any social media
My favorite Zeppelin tune. ❤
There are only so many perfect songs. 'Ten Years Gone' is absolutely one of them. This song could not exist were it not for these four gifted musicians. There is so much in this song from Bonzo's incredible driving drums (the subtle caveman - so immediately recognisable), the amazing performance from Jones who makes the bass into a lyrical element as much as it's the extension of the melody and forms core of the song, the stinging vocals from Plant with an audible sense of loss and longing, and the many layers of guitar textures from Page that seal this song as truly perfect. Hearing this song gives me chills to this very day as it did when I first heard it nearly 50 years ago.
This entire album is a masterpiece (and another truly perfect song, 'Kashmir' that really came into its own on the "No Quarter" album). Featuring the entire "Physical Graffiti" album ( would easily be 4-episodes ) would be an awesome experience for your viewers and Doug at the same time.
Certainly one of Led Zeppelin's finest songs! . These reaction videos enhance the listening experience for me, just like when we played these albums when I was a teenager in the late 1970s.
This is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs. It shows how important every band member was and how sublime they could be. Jimmy's beautiful guitar layering, Plant's ethereal voice and lyrics, John Paul Jones' little flourishes and Bonham somehow making his drum playing sound sad.
Our research indicates that Ten Years Gone is the most "Led Zeppelin" Led Zeppelin song of their entire catalog...
So true, so true
FANTASTIC guitar solo by Page: his best! Awesome song, too.
Jimmy Page does love to write very orchestrated guitar parts, that’s why I believe their music is so timeless, I enjoy this song as much as the Rain Song
Jimmys layers in this one are just incredible. It‘s like the guitar speaks in the end.
Cool reaction!
I was just trying to figure out if one of the timbres near the end was voice or guitar. Then I see your comment. It must be some kind of flange effect.
It's songs like this, and The Rain Song, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, and Stairway that put Jimmy Page in a category as one of the all time great composers.
This is such a beautfiul song. No words to describe it
Jimmy referred to it as a guitar army. Carlos Santana once said that Page was the Stravinsky of the electric guitar and I take that as a reference to his orchestral use of the guitar in layered tracks. Although this is an extreme example of that, the layered guitars can be found throughout their entire discography. It’s part of what set them apart from a lot of their contemporaries because no one, not even today, composed and layered guitar tracks quite like Page did. Stick that together with 3 other powerhouse innovators and you had an unstoppable force that was head and shoulders above anyone else.
layered.. not even today? Live even? look into Tash Sultana
@@BTW... please…Tash is talented for sure, but so not the same thing. I’m sure Tash would freely tell you that.
Well said!
@@itsmedrooms6071 Yeah... not the 'same'... because Tash doesn't just do that solo using studio production techniques to do that layering and loop work, not limited to the guitar instrument. ;-)
What has me comment is the inferring that 'modern contemporary music' isn't as good as the 'Classic Hits' play it again and again programming so common in the commercial Radio sector, that does NOTHING for contemporary artists trying to make a living today....an all too common comment from tired old listeners who lack the imagination or will to experience what's out there produced today. No doubt you have seen that mindless type who comment usually follows the "best song ever" BS line (that they probably post on every old clip they view)
@@BTW... One modern contemporary artist I still like is Grimes who isn’t active anymore apparently. I guess the genre is electronica. Her layering techniques on the album Art Angels are insane. Back then she didn’t work with any producers and did it all herself, all instruments, composition, and arrangement of multiple layered tracks. What she did was genius level imo.
Favorite Zeppelin song. Absolutely beautiful.
I watched your reaction and just laughed at how you were trying to analyze every note and every phrase. This is Led Zeppelin. They didn't write the rule book but they were responsible for a large portion of its content. The fact that they even existed has many many many music enthusiasts blessed whether they realize it or not.
‘on the wings of Maybe’ is such a great line.
This is my favorite Zeppelin song ❤
Jimmy did this one with the Black Crows so they had three guitars going and it sounded really good.
I could actually see Chris Robinson singing this. That’s cool, I’ll have to find a recording.
3 guitarists and a bass player since they didn't have JPJ
Saw them play this at Jones Beach in 2000! It was awesome!!!
Those were great shows, from what little I remember of them :D
It's on a decent double CD "Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - Live At The Greek".
Ten Years Gone, my favorite…still gives me chills. Genius!
Saw Led Zep's last two shows in the US. Despite how much studio work was in this track, they absolutely owned it as a live band. My lasting memory of the second day was Plant, in front of the band, otrouing the "She is gone, hanging on, she is gone" for far longer than on the track...
This song is one of the many of my favorites of theirs. Physical Graffiti, IMHO was one of the best if not the best of their albums. They were just peaking with their creativity and finding another voice in their amazing arc musically. Just brilliant.
I also feel this and the Rain Song are their best compositions, perfect from start to finish from the whole band with great lyrics and vocals to boot.
Excellent reaction Doug. This is just another masterpiece by The Mighty Led Zeppelin.
Soul-stirring bass tones in this song.
Absolutely one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, from my favorite of their albums.
That mysterious chord progression is A to F# DIM, to Em7, to D Maj 7, to C Maj 7. It is very melodic as presented by the boys.
It helps that he's using a Drop D alternate tuning.
Hi...I don't think its an Em7......straight bar chord Em at 7th fret.
POSSIBLY my favorite song off Physical Graffiti. Such a great change of pace with the possible exception of In My Time of Dying, the most unique off of that album.
Just that beginning gives me shivers
Kashmir gets all the attention, but I think there is so much better on Physical Graffiti, Ten Years Gone included. So beautiful.
In The Light, Bron-yr-Aur, Down By the Seaside and Ten Years Gone is probably my favourite 4 song run on any album. ✌️
@@lyndoncmp5751 and "In My Time of Dying" ..that's a trip. But yeah, all these songs are why PG is my fave Zeppelin album
@lyndon...
Yes, side 3 of Physical Graffiti is awesome, must be one of the best I've ever heard, and as a whole, I don't know of any better double album.
Some say there are fillers on side 4... well, that's only because it follows upon the awesome side 3
@@olaf1191
Absolutely mate. I totally agree there.
I just never found Kashmir to be as band defining as others. The most amazing jam that gets little notoriety is In My Time of Dying. Absolute favorite
It was a shining example of what Page called his "guitar army" with several different parts playing but weaving perfectly. I'd love to hear your evaluation of 'In The Evening' the studio and live Knebworth performance.
With all the layers of guitar. And Jimmy still pulls of an incredible live performance of the song. Maybe you'll get to that one day
I will never forget my first listen to this song. We skipped school and listened to this entire album upon the first day of its release.
It's fun to see someone who is very knowledgeable about music blown away by Jimmy Page's talent.
Wasn't just JP all the members were/are extremely skilled and talented musicians,Bonzo RIP
@@contingency9I think I he’s referring to the production and arranging.
My FAVORITE song off Physical Graffiti. So good. This is definitely my favorite album from them as well. Awesome!
Great reaction as usual!!!! This is one of my favorites from one of my favorite albums!!!! JIMMY'S LAYEROF THE GUITARS IS INSANE!!!!
Ten years gonna is probably my favorite Zeppelin song. Good stuff.
There are no bad Led Zeppelin songs. They were all parts to an incredible machine.
I've always loved how warm this song sounds.
Actually, my favorite song on the entire album!
My absolute favorite Zepplin tune, has been from the moment I heard it, many years ago.
This might be my favorite Zeppelin song ever. It has it all
One of my favorites off the album. This is one I've been listening to since my teens back in the 80's. I think you will go back to this song again and again Doug.
I know that Led Zeppelin had a years long career and recorded a diverse catalog of songs...BUT...Ten Years Gone is the jewel in the crown. No other LZ song even comes close to it. It's so beautiful sounding that it's almost "otherworldly."
Kashmir
Led Zeppelin was more than just rock’n roll. You hit it in the nail…Page orchestrated guitar parts in the studio. And John Paul Jones followed w his bass or keyboards. And the drums, what can we say about John Bonham - he reminds me of Ringo Starr in the sense that both of these men added more than just rhythm to a song. They had an instinct to create sounds with the drums that went along with the creation of the overall vibe that was being created in a particular composition. Sadly, you don’t hear that anymore out of groups or solo artists.
Thanks for reintroducing how GREAT of a tune and band this is !!
Great song, great Album, great band. I feel very fortunate to have been. a teen in the 70s
Remember listening to this on cassette driving around in the rain on an island in my youth, chasing love.
This song, along with into the mystic by van morrison are the two songs that can keep me from falling into a dark place...
I love how it starts somber, breaks through it into hope/potential, then overcoming, then back to a sobering reflection of the struggle and memories of the connections made and lost, touching on a meek/humble admittance of the commonality between us all, we've all in one place or another in the same journey....
Hi Doug. Great analysis and great breakdown of a great song. This song has always been in my list of the top 10 Zeppelin songs, and it's nice to know that someone else appreciates the complexity of it.
when jimmy page played with the black crowes in the 90s this was one of the songs covered and it was so amazing to hear live with so many different guitarists such a lovely song
My absolute favorite band! Thanks Doug!
Absolutely my favorite Zeppelin song.
One of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs...😊😊😊
Bassist plays a special 26 string acoustic guitar 12, 6 and 8 string mandolin.
My most favorite Zeppelin song ❤
JPJ...and Jimmy...pure genius and magical talent
one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite records. glad to share your enjoyment of it.
Dude, I grew up on Yes and Led Zeppelin and now here you are breaking down this great British rock all these decades later. Great channel!
Yup, you nailed it! The quintessential definition of Zep! Who else could lay it down like that, and not only get away with it, but create a delicate eargasm that reverberates in your skull long after the tune is over. In my top 5 faves for sure...🙂 Nicely done Doug!
Just happens to be my favourite LZ song. As you say the layering is astonishing. I remember working out the riff way back in the seventies. I’m glad I got the key right.
This was one of the songs as a kid i had to learn on guitar This and The Rain song Love it takes me back to the 70s at the lake trunk open Zeppelin cranked up
It’s written about Shirley Wilson, Plant’s then sister-in-law; whom he was with before Maureen; and after their divorce in the mid 80s.
So was What Is And What Should Never Be; The Rain Song; Black Country Woman…
She’s also the infamous ‘Molly Wopsy’ credited on Plant’s solo TPOM.
Fathered Jesse Plant with her.
Robert has never revealed who it is about so you are doing nothing more than guessing...
No. Plant said the song was about his first love who rejected him before he hit it big because she wanted a man who had a regular job.
PLANT: Let me tell you a little story behind the song '"Ten Years Gone" on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, "Right. It's me or your fans." Not that I had fans, but I said, "I can't stop, I've got to keep going." She's quite content these days, I imagine.She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sportscar. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you.
This has always been one of my all-time fave Zep tracks, what a great Friday choice!
Excellent choice. Just a beautiful moving piece of music
Sexxxxy as hell!! The 4:41 solo!
My #2 Zep tune, after only Achilles Last Stand.
The word that comes to mind when listening to this masterpiece is Majestic.
Love your reactions Doug, thank u for keep doing this amazing job, Zeppelin is one of my fav bands, stay safe, wishes from Brazil 🇧🇷🤘🏻
You need to post your reaction to In The Light from the same album. It is a song which builds up into itself and is smooth to listen to.
Next is "Presence", my favorite guitar album. Haven't checked to see if you've done Achilles Last Stand yet but it takes a similar guitar army approach and I've heard Jimmy Page say it's his favorite track. While Ten Years Gone was done brilliantly live with JPJ also on guitars, Achilles Last Stand doesn't fare as well live, but the studio track is Epic.
I think Achilles Last Stand done live at Knebworth is one of Led Zeppelins greatest live performances, and one of Jimmy's greatest live guitar solos ever captured.
Side 3 is my favorite side of "Physical Graffiti", and got the most plays perhaps of any side of any album during my teen years - the side opens with "In the Light" and closes with "Ten Years Gone"
The Physical Graffitti album cover was also the most expensive album cover of it's time.
Interesting to hear perspectives from people of different backgrounds...great song. One of my favorites from LZ!
Nobody can dissect Led Zeppelin like Doug. Thank you Mr. Helvering!
One of my all time favorites from Zep. Thanks for playing it!
Great song and reaction Doug. It's so cool for you to be discovering so much music for the first time, just like we did when these songs were current .😊
Ten years gone is my favorite Led Zeppelin song!!
It's Amaj to Dm/F, where Jimmy plays the Dm is an inversion with A on the bottom and JPJ lands on an F.
Led ,the best band of the world
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👍👍
Love your reactions. Also when you explain the structure of what you are listening to. Hello from Pa USA. Keep up the great work.
Love the added reaction at the end!! Thanks for this, Doug!
Love the reaction, especially the air drumming!
Always been my favourite, especially "Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be"
