It was John Paul Jones (yet again ) on synthesizer and he wrote most of the song. The low droning sound was made by Page using a violin bow on his guitar.
JPJ, the unsung hero of Zeppelin yet again.
To me it sounds like it might be a mellow Ron run through various effects but I’m not an expert by any means. 🤪
Mellotron not mellow Ron. That’s pretty funny.
There will be people who disagree but I really do think Physical Graffiti was their best of so many great albums. It is, in my opinion Led Zeppelin at the peak of their creative powers.
Although there were some amazing songs to come like Achilles Last Stand & In the Evening, I would agree that this was them at their peak creatively. In the following years there was a good deal of mis-fortune & tragedy as well as the effects of drugs. Sadly we'll never know if they would have re-discovered their best, but I definitely think there was so much more to come if it hadn't been for Bonzo's tragic death.
Million percent agree with you Paul 👌
This is the last album before the Heroin definitely started taking a toll on Jimmy Page. Slight drop off after this album. PG is the best guitar albums IMHO
@@michaelatkinson8291 Jimmy Page had very little creative controdution on their final album before Bonhams death. Then Plant grew weary of the 20 min guitar solos on practically every song played live.... I mean you can only sit back and bang a tambourine for so long... Jimmy never had condolences for Robert when his young son died. SO Bonhams death was just the straw that put Zeppelin to rest for good. Without His pal John in the band, there was really little to keep Robert on board
Agreed. Physical Graffiti is Zeppelin at the best!!
Led Zeppelin is one of those once in a million combinations of musical geniuses that come along. This is the kind of stuff that comes from that.
One of the least known LZ songs, but really shows off their versatility. Actually one of my favorites.
Def underrated. It's their best song. It's got their trippiest beginning. It's got their heaviest riff. Followed by their most beautiful. Then their best ending. This song had it all.
I love this song. My fave on this album.
This is one of the Led Zeppelin tunes that is sometimes my favorite...it changes around depending on mood. Sometimes When the Levee Breaks is my favorite, sometimes it is The Rain Song...and sometimes it is one of a few others, including this one. I definitely would like to see what your girl thinks of this one. 💯💯😁😁
Yes things change on mood... Shower song since I was 14... Kashmir... This one, is different. Don't know that I figured out a particular time or theme for this one... It's different 🤣
Organ, John Paul Jones, could be the guitar thru a JPG Synthesizer... Either way it's thru a synth that yes they are doing on his voice as well in a way... It's all John Paul Jones with the effects.
JPJ was so quietly orchestrating some of the best music ever created.
That's a Clavinet used by John Paul Jones, Aussie Chris here mate ❤️
Yes Chris.
It is called a Mini Moog
Only this could pull me away from Pink Floyd! The two bands equal first in my list. The changes in this song are thrilling.
💥💥💥👍😎 Yes,,,,1&2,,,,it's a toss-up.
I feel the same way, top two!
My top three bands are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Yes
This song is a perfect example of " Light and Shade". I love this band! Great vid Silas. Keep Rocking bro!
Some people think this song was their finest hour. John Paul Jones deserves a lot of credit for the atmosphere in this song.
Absolutely fantastic stereo effect on headphones or at high volume. Glad your enjoying these old masters.
"In the Light" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. The song was composed primarily by bassist/keyboardist ...by John Paul Jones. 😉 bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones on synthesizer, though singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page also received songwriting credit.
Who else could go from whole lotta love to this? Zeppelin!
I think that Jonesy is using his keyboard to mimic the sound of a shehnai, which is an Indian wind instrument. A great song that just shows you how musically diverse Zeppelin can be.
I couldn’t remember the name. Thanks!!!
No group of musicians including Led Zeppelin have ever put out another album that shows the amount of diversity and technical skill as this one does.
That is Jonesy on one of his new synths. He either was on mandolin, bass, or some sort of keys and was their secret weapon. Page, Plant, and Bonham demanded attention, John Paul was laid back and usually laid the bed on which the rest improvised over.
The synthesizers can mimic horns, strings, space sounds, and everything in between. Even a drum set.
Good job, young man. Was hoping that you would react to this one. Brings me right back to my teenage years. Enjoy !! And don’t forget Presence. Underated and Plant sang the album from a wheelchair due to a car accident.
FYI….That sound you’re trying to I.d. Are the ghosts of whales, singing from the other side.
It sounds like a synthesizer. This one of Zep's "trippy" songs. Best to listen to when you're, ah, "relaxed".
The sounds in the beginning of the song were two things. As the undertone, Jimmy Page was using the bow from a violin on his guitar strings...and the tune playing over it was JPJ on his synthesizer...and I agree that the combo definitely sounds like a set of bagpipes. 😎😎
Don't thing so,....not on this tune,....could be wrong!
@@kevinbrady6075 I looked it up first...unless Wiki is also wrong on this one. ✌✌
@@kevinbrady6075 It is a bowed guitar.
@@iKvetch558 Never!🤣
@@kevinbrady6075 Talking about the song in the BBC book The Guitar Greats, Page said: "Once the vocal lines and phrasing were sorted out, you'd know where not to play, which was as important as knowing when you should play. With 'In The Light,' for instance, we knew exactly what its construction was going to be, but nevertheless, I had no idea at the time that John Paul Jones was going to come up with such an amazing synthesizer intro, plus there's all the bowed guitars at the beginning as well, to give the overall drone effect. We did quite a few things with drones on, like 'In The Evening' and all that, but when he did that start for 'In The Light' it was just unbelievable."
ROCK ON !
Hola Silas y Alivia, from Ned and Janet in España. Lovin the reaction as always and thanks for hanging in with the opening. Here's a quote from JPJ about the synth he used in this song :
"I did use an old EMS VCS3 synthesizer on Physical Graffiti for "In The Light". It wasn't sophisticated enough to really sound like a synthesizer and you really had to be on the ball because it was murder to keep in tune. It did have a little joystick arrangement that could be used to control the pitch, though, so you could slide things; it was very manageable. But it couldn't go on the road. I had too much trouble with the mellotron in those days to take anything else out. Robert Plant was always saying "We've got to do "In The Light" onstage, " and I said, "No way, or I have to contend with synthesizers as well.
(from the Dec '77 issue of Contemporary keyboard)
Thank you for the information!
I love that they were willing to try new sounds even if others didn’t care for it. That is what I think makes a great band, daring to be different.
I guess the new catchphrase for your generation is "hold up". Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣!
Apt description of your experience with this song. Can anyone imagine how lucky Silas is because he still has new musical Zeppelin worlds to explore?
A Zeppelin classic pure and simple . But they all are 🥰🥰🥰
The rock masterpiece of all-time. Not only the best Zep, but the best album (albeit a double) ever as well.
One of the trippiest songs they ever made
John Paul Jones is a one man orchestra, he can play up to a 1000 instruments of all varieties. He is the man...
This song was my friend Joey's favorite RIP little brother we miss you 😔 💔 😢
Great song from a great album. So many different sounding songs on this album. It really showa their diversity and amazing talent.
It’s JPJ making the keyboard sound like a bag pipe! The GOATS! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So glad you're still into them,,,,,,see,,,we weren't lying. 👍👍👍😎
It's an electronic keyboard,,,,they can sound like ANYTHING.
This song is vicious!
LOVE the intro and riff on this track! theres an alternate version floating around before they went for this and thats brilliant too. most bands would LOVE to have tracks of the caliber that zeppelin left on the cutting room floor!
I had totally forgotten about this song! Every once in awhile I go on these Led Zep binges but unlike back when I was young and owned all their albums and would play whole albums at a time and not individual songs, now I pretty much just use RUclips and go song by song unless I get the mood and then I find the playlist for the album. But for that reason, this is just one I never think of. But it's fantastic, and near the end when you said you liked it because it was more or less just the guitar, I hope when you listen to this again later if you do, listen to each instrument individually like you have talked about before. But in this song? Try it once just focusing on the bass guitar all the way through. He's doing some amazing stuff there and he's not playing super hard like he does sometimes, it's just really tasteful and melodic and perfectly in tune but it's still kind of funky and agile. It's an incredible part of what you're hearing, it's just that most of us aren't trained to recognize the bass in the sound mix. On the other hand, if you have played in bands and especially if you have played bass guitar, then it's like this whole other world opens up and that simension is always right there, it's just easily ignored. It just is affecting you subconsciously even though you don't know it. So to me, that's what makes it fun to just focus on that line in the various sections and hear what he's doing and how it interplays with everything else. Especially with Bonzo on the drums of course.
The low drone sound you hear in the intro is an acoustic guitar with a violin bow. The other part is just a synthesizer.
I agree Pink Floyd, especially the Pulse concert. Comfortably Numb or in Sorrow , it's like David Gilmores Guitar is connected directly to his soul
Tripped hard to them in concert 2x. 9th and 11 rows...
Don't get to hear this one to often. Cool. 45 yrs + of listening to this. Its good to a little old.
Took me awhile to really get this song but once I did it has become one of my favorites.
Bagpipe=synth. Also, that vocal effect you mention is Robert Plant’s voice double tracked. Glad you like this track, one of their better ones from this album for sure.
I love this song! Sounds so heavy, and the lyrics are at odds with the music.
Always loved this one, just so different, but then it is the mighty zep.
Great reaction Silas, Keep on Zeppin!
Crazy good song!! Guitar with violin bow and synthesizer!
Amazing song that grows on you until you' re obsessed with it
interesting story on this song, Jonesy did not feel an ascending and descending movement would work, Page felt different and being the producer politely overruled him....the part in question comes in the 3rd movement , right after the little keyboard break..."light, light, light, in the light"
1975 "Physical Graffiti was a change in styling, for Zep. A glimpse into their future work. Very Good Album, we were very PHYSCHED, for new music, to come! Great Reaction!
Although jimmy played the hurdy gurdy on several songs there is no mentioned of it being used on In The Light but Jimmy's use of the bow on his guitar was the opening piece for this song
Your bagpipe comment was kind of brilliant. This is one of my favorites from Physical Graffiti, a haunting almost dour sounding song that turns effervescent and triumphant--- but it never occurred to me that it was reminiscent of bagpipes until you mentioned it.
Love it honestly they could play and sing the alphabet and I'd listen to it and love it Silas you're adorable, love how you embrace this music you are truly an old soul
So weird, I've been thinking about this song all day and was going to suggest it...and here you are! Another one of theirs that's a fav among so many, keep diving into the awesomeness of Led Zeppelin! ❤
As someone who was there in that time I was a little younger than you but we where all rock fans. LZ MUSICAL ARC IS LIKE A SHOOTING STAR BRILLIANT AT FIRST THEN TAPERING OFF TILL THEY BROKE UP. WAS A SOLID GOOD TRIP ALL ALONG BUT THOSE FIRST 2 ALBUMS WHERE NEVER MATCHED. THEY STILL SHOWED FLASHES OF MAGIC BUT GRUELING TOURS AND ROCK LIFE STYLE WORE HEAVY ON THEM ESPECIALLY PAGE WHO HAD LOTS OF DRUG PROBLEMS. THEY ARE TRULY In The TOP 5 ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME.
So much goodness in "Physical Graffiti " thank you for listening 🎶
This one lives a little bit in the shadow of Kashmir so is sometimes overlooked. But it's just as amazing and is perfect.
As is so much on this lp. Possibly the greatest album ever.
Physical Graffiti is one hell of an album, everyone contributed. Great double album, everyone should have it.
Layers and layers. Page is amazing. If i have to choose between this and Kashmir, its this song every time.
This song has got me through depressing times
The instrument is called a Mini Moog. It was in the 1970s.
5:50 to 6:17 Contrary motion: Page's guitar melody line progresses up; Jones's bass line progresses down.
Beautiful song and epic as well!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a great song 🎵
You got the Zep chill in the middle of that. 👍❤🤙
Your face is priceless at the start.... welcome to the Real LED ZEPPELIN
My favorite LZ songs are the trippy ones. This is one of them.
That is a synthesizer keyboard. This double album features progressive rock, blues rock, folk, funk, etc. Just a little bit of everything lol
That musical section is Jimmy Page using a violin bow on his acoustic guitar along with John Paul Jones on a synthesizer and that's why Jimmy Page is considered the Lord of the dark strings!
In the ,light indeed.
Great album ❤❤
That first drop though! One of the best ever! :)
Several times over the decades the question "what's your favorite Zeppelin album?" has come up. I think I used to say II, or maybe "Houses of the Holy," when I was obsessed with "The Ocean," "Over the Hills and Far Away," and "The Rain Song." But then I started saying "Physical Graffiti." I always follow up with: yeah i know it's seems like cheating cos it's a double album, but it really IS the one that best shows their incredible range and adventurous creativity. "In The Light" is a perfect example of that.
It's probably a synthesiser. JPJ composed most of this on the synthesiser.
Great song. Perfect combination of gothic and psychedelia.
That’s a Hurdy Gurdy at the beginning with Oregon
This song went through many changes before this. Everybody Makes it Through which is on the expanded Coda album has one of the versions of this song. Another version is on the expanded Physical Grafitti which may have been the first attempted.
That sound you Hear is the hurdy gurdy
Another John Paul Jones anchored track. An integral part of the band. I always wish his bass was more up in the mix.
I got to say this. Really like your reactions you seem genuine.
Great song. Physical Graffiti is their masterpiece. Presence is underrated. Silas, weird how you seem to have problems identifying a synth each time lol
its just different SYNTHESIZERS... wich are electronic keyboards so a "piano player" can make all of those sounds and WAY MORE.... and yes its an EPIC song... peace
Getting closer to Ten Years Gone....... ;-)
Their best song :)
Back in the day they used to record several different vocal parts by the same singer and over dub them, so basically he's harmonizing with his self
Try meditating to this song, you’ll feel yourself leave your body.
It does sound like a bagpipe! But it’s actually JPJ on keyboards, mimicking the sound of instruments similar to the bagpipe which are used in India and the Middle East. That sound is a very ancient one and can be found in the music of many cultures. It’s just that for most Americans, their exposure to that sound is only through the bagpipes.
It is called a Mini Moog
the organ is called melatron build by John Paul jones
Just John Paul Jones keyboard wizardry is the instrument.
This song is made to be heard in the dark while stoned on shrooms.
Its a synthesiser Silas. Almost sounding like bagpipes.
The Moog synthesizer
organ with synthesizer
It's John Paul Jones on keyboard and organ mixed with Jimmy Page on guitar 🎸
No bagpipes but that would be cool !!! Beginning is Jimmy using bow on guitar…& Jonesy synthesizer. In The Light…& Shade….🐐!!!
And by the way that's John Paul Jones on the keyboards, that's that sound you can't figure out if it's a guitar a harmonica it's a keyboard John Paul Jones is a genius guitar player instrumentalist producer arranger super duper pooper scooper he does it all
Not a bagpipe, just John Paul Jones on the synthesizer. The intro is Jimmy Page on guitar using a violin bow.
Herdy gurdy with moog on top delay
John Paul Jones on keyboards.
I like y’all’s reactions, but you both need to pay attention to the drums, bass, and all the other instruments more. John Paul Jones is the bassist and plays every instrument known to man. The late great John Bonham is the drummer and is widely considered the greatest ever. Whoever your favorite drummer is, their favorite drummer is probably Bonham. Keep it up, I love the reactions!
Jimmy Page used a violin bow across his strings to get that sound. He used it in three different songs
U should play this for Alivia, she'd luv it!
Silas, part of the deal here, I think, is that you haven’t been exposed to any Indian or middle Eastern music. The scales are not familiar to you. I noticed that neither you nor Alivia made any comment yesterday regarding how unusual the melody was in Kashmir. It was influenced by North African/Middle Eastern music. In the Light has Indian influences.
Those of us who were young at that time had grown up with The Beatles, who had introduced the Western world to the sounds and scales of Indian music. We were familiar with the sound of the introduction to In the Light. It is basically an Indian raga which is usually played on a sitar. JPJ was using his keyboards to get an approximation of the sound of a wind instrument …..like the bagpipes…. Which is found also in Middle Eastern and Indian music. You and Alivia don’t have the same musical exposure that we did at your age to such sounds and scales.
To us…at least to me… it sounded exotic and wonderful. To you, I’m sure it sounded kinda jarring and weird. But I’m really glad that you were open to it. I’m surprised that you said it was going on your playlist! Cool! 👍✌️
I would strongly suggest listening to The Beatles’ song Within You and Without You. You will have a better idea of where these sounds come from. Just a thought
it's the original "Wait for it "
They influenced a lot of bands like tool Mother Love Bones Soundgarden
