Can't agree with you more. I had the same goosebump experience when I first heard this song. Funny story. This song was playing in the background when me and my longtime girlfriend (also a musician) were breaking up for the last time and right where the outro melody begins, I interrupted our argument and asked "My God! Are you hearing this melody right now"? Needless to say, it went over like a Led Zeppelin 😃. Keep up the good work sir!
voodoochile333 It absolutely is grossly under appreciated but not by me.its been one of a few ( literally ) stand out favorite Led Zep songs of mine for decades .All of my favorites are not the most popular now that I think about it . For me the under rated album.Presence. Tea for one and Nobody’s fault .
You're just listening to the wrong station. This song, and many more by LZ, still get regular airplay on my local classic rock radio station. 92KQRS Minneapolis.
@Richard Moore Or the Zeppelin they do play are the same fucking four songs with no rotation. Dyermaker, Black Dog, heartbreaker/living loving maid and Stairway. So actually five I've just heard heart breaker and living loving maid together back to back for the last 45 years I identify them as one.
@@beawsbiz Of the four songs that were supposed to be included on Houses of the Holy, Including the title track, 3 ended up on Physical Graffiti and 1 on Coda. Physical Graffiti was a far cry from the previous 5 albums. The Presence album sounded like disappointment.
@emilybuckmaster2456 that whole side of the album is amazing. In the light, Bron-Yr-Aur, Down by the seaside, and Ten years gone. My favorite block of any album I've ever heard. I'm glad that people are starting to recognize Ten years gone as one of their best. It's my favorite of all time.
I've heard this song hundreds of times, and I still get goosebumps when I hear all of the harmonies at the end. It was always a battle between Rain Song and Ten Years Gone for my favorite Zeppelin song, but what an impossible choice to make when their entire catalog is brilliant.
Rain Song and Ten Years Gone have pretty similar vibe, dreamy, nostalgic etc, so it makes sense that a lot of people who really like Ten Years Gone also love Rain Song
@@Mixcoatl uh... This song isnt overlooked. Its one of their catchiest riffs out of their entire discography. Probably top 10 to a lot of Zep fans. There are other songs that many people dont even talk about. Like Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp or Bring it on Home...
Clickbait. Ten years Gone isn't the song that DJ's would play if they took out physical Graffiti, but side four would be probably be my first choice of the side of an album that I would play if I was in the mood for some Led Zeppelin.
The guitar solo in Ten Years Gone just kills me. It's the sound of crying your eyes out while falling down drunk. Pure emotion. Sometimes it feels like we've all spent so much time perfecting our technique that no one can play like that anymore.
JPJ is, and always has been, a force of musical nature... perhaps, even, the 'overlooked' member of LZ? I agree with several of the posters below: None of their tunes were overlooked by us Zep Heads...
"Ten Years Gone" has been my favorite LZ song for more than forty years. I bought the album (Physical Graffiti) off the rack as an 11-year-old. None of us old folks consider "Ten Years Gone" as "overlooked".....we've ALWAYS known the majesty of it.....
That’s a cool story about John Paul Jones playing the bass with his feet live. Never heard that one. I agree he’s under appreciated in the band. I feel the same way about Richard Wright from Pink Floyd.
Funnily enough, I was just listening to _Physical Graffiti_ earlier... Words can't express what an epic masterpiece this is. The intricacy of the dozens of guitar parts, the poetry of the lyrics in conjunction with the music, the dynamics... it's so moving and powerful, it's hard to listen to anything else after it. It's the life and death and nature and the passing of time and everything else, too. Also good to see Jonesy get some love!
A stolen recording exists of Page working alone using some early multi-track equipment to rough out the solo and arrangement and to test and demonstrate the multiple guitar layers and harmonies. When the song was intended to be an instrumental. Just search “10 Years Gone Demo”. Fascinating to hear the song in an embryonic form.
I was listening to it earlier too. I listen to it every day, but I listened to it earlier too... :D For me, it's their best album and I never ever get tired of it.
@@CJLauziere lol I did the same thing.. apparently I'm not the only one. Ever play rain song on guitar? It's got the funkiest tuning. Very different. No other song I've played has this type of tuning.
@@learneroftruth8025 Yes, I learned it out of a Zeppelin chronicles music book with notation for "standard" tuning. Still lots of fun to play that way. But, I have since come to understand it's probably in a crazy tuning like you mention. Either way you "tune" it...she's a masterpiece.
@@CJLauziere oh I didnt know you could play it standard. I know when I tune it 3 of the strings are in C...and it just sounds like absolutely beautiful even on my cheap gretsch!
Nuno Bettancourt said it best,... "Jimmy Page did it all,... He never left anything on the table for anyone else to discover". It's hard to find another guitarist, post 1980, who discovered any radically new techniques or styles. Whether Pagey "heard" the opening notes for STAIRWAY played by Randy California or not, what he did is supercharge that idea and create an anthem. That's what real talent does.
Yep, "Stairway" opening notes are an a-minor arpeggio, standard stuff Page used as did many others. No one "wrote" arpeggios, they just use them to build songs. The idea Page "stole" that is absurd. They both used the same musical technique that has existed for hundreds of years. Same thing applies to the descending chromatic bass line, too basic for Randy California to say he "owned" it. There's a reason the song Plant and Page built became a classic when "Taurus" did not. I suspect the Randy California estate made more money off the the alleged copyright infringement of "Taurus" than they ever could have made off the song by itself. Maybe Zep should sue them...
Even Zeppelin had underrated or overshadowed riffs! Amazing how many tunes you can find if you just dig deep enough, and LZ has countless classics. Always great to see from ye
Thank God we finally have a demonstration on the Rhythm parts of Ten Years Gone! Everybody and their mother cuts to the solo and neglects the substance that carries it. Thank you bro👍🙏
This is my favorite song! His army of guitars! I heard he has 17 guitars layered. Just such a beautiful piece. Zep is my favorite band ever looking forward to fridays now!
I remember late 90's. My cool cousin had one of those best of 70's rock. There were a bunch of great bands like Sabbath, Stones..So there were 3 songs from the masters Zepp IV Black Dog, Rock n roll and Starway..13 year old cool kid mind blew up!!
My favorite Zep song. The dynamics in the song are incredible and it's a master class for drummers. When the music cuts to just clean guitar on the 3rd verse and Plant comes in, it'll give you goosebumps.
I can remember the very first time I heard Zep, and the name of the song in roughly 1980 when I was 10. I can remember where and when I first heard Tangerine, Stairway, Black Dog, Bring It On Home, In The Light, Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, and a few others if I think about. . .For the last 20 yrs, I've been trying to forget just about every piece of new "music" on the radio. Seriously though, what other group had the magic of Zeppelin that I can remember the better parts of my life?
Wow. This hit home. 10 years gone..... I'm 32, remembering at 16, me and my buddies sitting in the truck on the lake shoreline, smoking, jamming this song, I was telling them what a badass song 10 years gone was. Lol at 16, getting high and having nostalgia... Anyway, great video. Great song.
I totally agree that this is the best Zep song. Even those opening chords give me the shivers. I think there’s also a contrast between whisper/thunder, sunshine/ melancholy and memory/present.
By far their greatest moment. 200 different tracks at once but all 4 musicians GOING OFF at any point during the song. I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment those guys felt when they heard the playback of that when it was finished. From Bonzo's foot, to Jonesey's Chris Squire take, to Robert's repurposing the D&C jam parts, to Page's harmony guitars... just brilliant
That's so awesome because in today's world where love has diminished to nothing been replaced by a drive for the acquisition of money and material possessions
Robert, what i would have given to have seen Beck and Clapton come on stage during the Celebration day reunion and played Ten Years Gone! That would have been the ultimate guitar journey! As it is, i am committing sacriledge but Jimmy with the Black Crowes live is the best version, even if Chris stuffs up. Def my fav song ever, along with Dickey Betts Blue Sky and anything with Judith Durham!
I agree with you on 10 years Gone. Zep has several songs I Appreciate more the Stairway, including The Rain song! The first time I heard it, it blew me away. Anyone can play a good rock and roll song. Zep took it to another level. Page could have written an opera.
Saw the title and clicked, saying to myself - "It's gotta be either The Rain Song or Ten Years Gone". Monumental, timeless tracks with depth, whereas Stairway was great for the first 50 or so listens, but now I don't even consider playing it.
Page was not only an amazing guitarist, he revolutionized how guitars were recorded...he was aware that single coil pickups recorded certain frequencies better in the mix
I find your comment about JPJ rings bells. In the sense that he was the "glue" that kept everything together. Exactly the same remark was made about John Enwhistle of The Who. When musically the rest seemed to be each going their merry way, the only one who actually kept the song together was Entwhiste. And when Pete was smashing his guitar, Roger was twirling the mike and endangering the front row while Moon was on the verge of destroying his kit and being taken away by some nice men in white coats, Entwhistle was the only one left standing to lend some semblance of sanity to the whole thing.
Zeppelin stole 'Since I've been loving you' from an incredible blues artist. They lacked originality across the board. That's why they'll never be The Stones.
Ten Years Gone. I was there when Physical Graffiti hit the shelves in vinyl. A lonely tune for sure. Intensely moody and melodious. Check out Night Flight too. Plant's vocals are amazing. Glad you younger folks are into Zep.
10 minutes before I watched this video I found myself humming the riff and thinking ''Which Zeppelin song was this again? It's amazing''. I looked it up, found it, listened to it and loved it. 10 minutes later I stumbled over your video by complete accident.
Yep, my favorite Led Zeppelin song, too, which is saying a lot because I love so many of their songs. The intro, those opening few chords...no matter how many times I hear them they can bring me to tears.
one of the greatest songs of all time not even counting that genre alone. anyone with an ear for beautiful composition and lyrics can’t help but appreciate the emotion and feeling this song gives off always gets me emotional.
The last time I looked at Rolling Stone magazine was when they harpooned Zep in 69. John what's his face. Page was unimaginative, lousy writer, producer, blah blah blah. Never wasted another cent on that fish wrap.Their catalogue of music is the top. JPJ like Entwistle, Squire, Bruce could fill in the spaces that other bands needed another musician. JPJ is always overlooked. It happens when you're so good that it looks effortless, no flash and trash just music. That can also be a blessing. Nobody ever thinks that the quiet one is the wild one. You can get away with so much more when nobody looks your way.
This song is one of the reasons why Physical Graffiti is my favourite Zeppelin album. Its definitely their most diverse record. 10 years gone is such a great combination of lyricism and musical arrangement
Robert, this was really awesome and I'm 56 years old and have seen a lot of videos on Ten Years Gone and this is one of the best I think you would really get off on doing the same kind of video on "out on the tiles". Although they only played that tune a couple times live I believe at the bath Festival it actually came out really good because plants vocals were still 95% at that point and the sound just is incredible even though it is only a bootleg floating around you can hear the insanity of how great it was and it is my favorite or one of my favorite tracks as a drummer because of those crazy triplets and monster fills that Bonham delivered...and Jonesy had a wicked bass hook and also improvised a lot in the outro I would love for you to break that one down and nerd out on it that is truly an overlooked but great track and their early repertoire. Now I know to all the hardcore Zep fans there is no overlooked track but remember a lot of younger guys who are getting turned on to Zeppelin probably have never heard that track so this comment is aimed towards bringing more younger guys into this appreciation and you old timers like me we are just all preaching to the choir and happy that young guys like Robert are carrying the torch for our beloved band and by the way Robert you've done this song Justice those are beautiful guitars and are deserving of your skills! Peace, Bob M.
"Overlooked Zeppelin masterpiece" How Many More Times? In My Time of Dying? Oh, Ten Years Gone. That one too. Lol Great video, Robert. Love da Zeppelin.
Jones is definitely underrated and overlooked as a musician. He comes from a family of working musicians and he can play bass, keyboard, guitar, mandolin and banjo. He was the most sought after session bass player in the mid-60s in London for the American blues and rock style.
This has always been my favorite Zeppelin song, and it’s a tragedy that most classic rock fans never heard of it. It is a masterpiece. Thanks for the analysis.
Oh god, its the never ending “which zep song is better” me and my friends all have whenever a zep song plays.... lemme save everyone some time There all the best!
Had my guitar teacher show me this song when I was about 15 or 16 I still play it quite often and love listening to it I also get goosebumps on the main riff

voodoochile333 I would agree with you
I think the term “masterpiece” fits the Rain Song more than Ten Years Gone. Not taking anything away from the awesomeness of TYG though..
Zep fans overlook nothing, these just never got airplay.
M R they got plenty of play on my turntable 👍🏽
M R local FM programmers were Zep fanatics in the 80s... almost the full discography in rotation

Physical Graffiti is an absolute masterpiece. Ten Years Gone is my favorite as well, but every other track is beyond awesome.
I just don’t get how popular Physical Graffiti is. Should have been a single album. Plant’s vocal sounds throttled compared with 1-4. With respect.

Led Zeppelin "out-Sabbaths" Black Sabbath on "In the Light." So darn heavy!

Yes.
Everyone in that band was a genius!
scootdaws25 except Bonzo who didn’t seem to understand that 3 triple screwdrivers for breakfast isn’t the best way to start your last day on earth.
Funnily enough, I was just listening to _Physical Graffiti_ earlier...

Also good to see Jonesy get some love!

This is so true. "that's gonna be the one in'n it"!
Could not agree more. This song touches somewhere special.

@@davidwethington9320 Recorded AND mixed.
I've been worshiping this song since my teens - A total masterpiece.

If you look up the 1979 performance of ten years gone and the 1977 performance, you can see him using the tele
Caught Jones when his band fronted for King Crimson. I was astounded with him definitely the most underrated.

No doubt about it - JPJ is a very underated and somewhat forgotten musician.
Tony Rapa - JOJ underrated?😉 nice joke
Bron yr aur is a masterpiece. You should definitely cover that song here.
hell yes bron-yr-aur has been a favorite of mine since i was a kid
I was about to roll my eyes at the song that was selected.... but then they chose the GOAT.... well done sir.... well done..
Love this song - Page at his best both writing and as a producer.
I totally agree that this is the best Zep song. Even those opening chords give me the shivers. I think there’s also a contrast between whisper/thunder, sunshine/ melancholy and memory/present.
Wholeheartedly agree. Ten Years Gone is the best Zeppelin song.
Great song. But you cant count out Achilles last stand...a force to be reckoned with!!
Thumbs up but the correct answer is Achilles Last Stand
Was really thinking it was gonna be Achilles Last Stand. Such an epic song
Same. I don't listen to Zep as much as I did when I was a teenager but I always come back to that song

my fav Zep LP - dark, brooding, strange...
Great call, I always loved that one. Wait...I think I love ALL their songs!
Achilles Last Land is basically 80s NWOBHM 3 years before NWOBHM became a thing.
My wife and i...it's our song. Called her 1st time in '89 and it was playing in the background. 31 years now and still in love...more every day.
That's so awesome because in today's world where love has diminished to nothing been replaced by a drive for the acquisition of money and material possessions
The whole of the PG album has a life of its own. Sonically speaking it’s an absolute mind blower and Zeppelins use of dissonance is so refreshing .
Probably my favorite album.
Listen to the "Badge Holders Only" bootleg version! So good!
And yes! John Paul Jones was essential to Zeppelin. :)
Ten Years Gone is a fantastic work of art. I also like The Rover from Zeppelin which I think is overlooked.
Robert, what i would have given to have seen Beck and Clapton come on stage during the Celebration day reunion and played Ten Years Gone! That would have been the ultimate guitar journey! As it is, i am committing sacriledge but Jimmy with the Black Crowes live is the best version, even if Chris stuffs up.

I agree with you on 10 years Gone. Zep has several songs I Appreciate more the Stairway, including The Rain song! The first time I heard it, it blew me away. Anyone can play a good rock and roll song. Zep took it to another level. Page could have written an opera.
When The Levee Breaks will always be my favorie zeppelin song, everything about it is amazing
And one of the great workout songs of all time
Actually, "Ten Years Gone" is one of my fave Zep songs!!!
A master piece. People who only like Fast Loud Zeppelin are missing out. This is so unique.
* masterpiece
This song is so full of everything that makes Zeppelin the Gods of Hammer !
Saw the title and clicked, saying to myself - "It's gotta be either The Rain Song or Ten Years Gone".
Monumental, timeless tracks with depth, whereas Stairway was great for the first 50 or so listens, but now I don't even consider playing it.
“In My Time of Dying” is in my Top 5.
Smoke Meat Everyday - in my top 3
In my time of dying is my top 1
Ten Years Gone, The Rain Song, and Achillies Last Stand are my favourites from Zep! I love this. Thanks for exploring this!
Page was not only an amazing guitarist, he revolutionized how guitars were recorded...he was aware that single coil pickups recorded certain frequencies better in the mix
Ten years gone is my second favorite but my favorite is no quarter.
Love it! There's also a great version with Black Crows and Jimmy Page
Saw that live! The whole show was incredible!
@@younkinjames8571 get out! That must have been amazing
@@michaelsevilla198 it really was. They played some good ones beside this...in my time of dying I remember was one...all the usual suspects as well
Ten Years Gone and Achilles Last Stand are my two favorite Zeppelin songs, ever.
This is such a great song. So much emotion in it. Forgot the name of it yesterday and was trying to remember and today you did a video of it. Thanks!
Tea For One is THE overlooked masterpiece.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
A reworking of Since I've Been Loving You
That's my fav Bluesy Zepp track. That album is highly overlooked
Your damn right it is.
I heard that on the radio around 1am once. I was blown away. Fantastic song.
I find your comment about JPJ rings bells. In the sense that he was the "glue" that kept everything together.
Exactly the same remark was made about John Enwhistle of The Who.
When musically the rest seemed to be each going their merry way, the only one who actually kept the song together was Entwhiste.
And when Pete was smashing his guitar, Roger was twirling the mike and endangering the front row while Moon was on the verge of destroying his kit and being taken away by some nice men in white coats, Entwhistle was the only one left standing to lend some semblance of sanity to the whole thing.
Idk... Fool in the rain is probably still my fav.
10 Years Gone is Jimmy's BEST work... Very Hypnotic!!! My Fav for sure....The Rain Song is also Outstanding... Jimmy is The Greatest of All Time..
They hardly have a bad song they’re all great sounding this one was always one of my favorites ,like the rain song Full of melodies
Ten Years Gone, In the Light, Achilles Last Stand, The Wanton Song, etc.. So many great Zeppelin classics! Thanks for working on this one!
Yes I love this song it’s my favorite zeppelin song. Nobody ever talks about it and I think it’s so good
Arguably the best song off of the greatest album ever written.
Amen. . .
Got me through some dark times, that's for sure.
There's no such thing as off of, I think you mean 'from' the greatest album ever written.
This song immediately comes out almost every time I grab a guitar. So groovy.
I feel dumb... I've never heard this song... how the hell? Crazy cool work on guitar from Page. What a great song!!! 🤘🤘
No Quarter, tea for one, Achilles last stand and since I've been loving you all kick stairways ass too
Great Zep song ever?
"Since I've Been Loving You."
Most overlooked masterpiece?
"Braun'Yaur Stomp"
joshua43214 been listening to close to Zep for years and just recently realized he was singing about a dog, aka Merle
'song remains the same', is their best jam.
Every song is a masterpiece...I can't choose!
totally agree "Since I've Been Loving You" is the one, however the live recordings are waaaay tastier than the version on III .
Zeppelin stole 'Since I've been loving you' from an incredible blues artist. They lacked originality across the board. That's why they'll never be The Stones.
One of my favorite songs of ALL ALL TIME!!!
Just a joy. Takes me back to my youth and now more than ten years have gone.
100% agree. This song is incredible.
Ten Years Gone. I was there when Physical Graffiti hit the shelves in vinyl.
A lonely tune for sure. Intensely moody and melodious.
Check out Night Flight too. Plant's vocals are amazing.
Glad you younger folks are into Zep.
Thought it would be "No Quarter". That's my pick for no 1
Kacper Rogalski - but the live version from SRTS, studio not so much.
10 minutes before I watched this video I found myself humming the riff and thinking ''Which Zeppelin song was this again? It's amazing''. I looked it up, found it, listened to it and loved it.
10 minutes later I stumbled over your video by complete accident.
As my fave underrated masterpiece I would name In my time of dying. But this interesting video almost changed my mind.
Yep, my favorite Led Zeppelin song, too, which is saying a lot because I love so many of their songs. The intro, those opening few chords...no matter how many times I hear them they can bring me to tears.
Ten Years Gone and The Rain Song are the most underrated songs in the history of Rock.
one of the greatest songs of all time not even counting that genre alone. anyone with an ear for beautiful composition and lyrics can’t help but appreciate the emotion and feeling this song gives off always gets me emotional.
The last time I looked at Rolling Stone magazine was when they harpooned Zep in 69. John what's his face. Page was unimaginative, lousy writer, producer, blah blah blah. Never wasted another cent on that fish wrap.Their catalogue of music is the top. JPJ like Entwistle, Squire, Bruce could fill in the spaces that other bands needed another musician. JPJ is always overlooked. It happens when you're so good that it looks effortless, no flash and trash just music. That can also be a blessing. Nobody ever thinks that the quiet one is the wild one. You can get away with so much more when nobody looks your way.
This song is one of the reasons why Physical Graffiti is my favourite Zeppelin album. Its definitely their most diverse record. 10 years gone is such a great combination of lyricism and musical arrangement
I was consoled by Jimmy after my drummers death in 2012 he is so kind !
wow....finally, someone who shares my same thought, love this song for many reasons, its amazing. Thank you.
The beginning of the song is a masterpiece
Robert, this was really awesome and I'm 56 years old and have seen a lot of videos on Ten Years Gone and this is one of the best I think you would really get off on doing the same kind of video on "out on the tiles". Although they only played that tune a couple times live I believe at the bath Festival it actually came out really good because plants vocals were still 95% at that point and the sound just is incredible even though it is only a bootleg floating around you can hear the insanity of how great it was and it is my favorite or one of my favorite tracks as a drummer because of those crazy triplets and monster fills that Bonham delivered...and Jonesy had a wicked bass hook and also improvised a lot in the outro I would love for you to break that one down and nerd out on it that is truly an overlooked but great track and their early repertoire. Now I know to all the hardcore Zep fans there is no overlooked track but remember a lot of younger guys who are getting turned on to Zeppelin probably have never heard that track so this comment is aimed towards bringing more younger guys into this appreciation and you old timers like me we are just all preaching to the choir and happy that young guys like Robert are carrying the torch for our beloved band and by the way Robert you've done this song Justice those are beautiful guitars and are deserving of your skills! Peace, Bob M.
The rain song should be the sequel to this
I'm not a musician, but "Ten Years Gone" has been my favorite song on my favorite Zeppelin album for many, many moons now. Great video!!
"Overlooked Zeppelin masterpiece"
How Many More Times?
In My Time of Dying?
Oh, Ten Years Gone. That one too. Lol
Great video, Robert. Love da Zeppelin.
Jones is definitely underrated and overlooked as a musician. He comes from a family of working musicians and he can play bass, keyboard, guitar, mandolin and banjo. He was the most sought after session bass player in the mid-60s in London for the American blues and rock style.
Genuinely exactly the song I wanted this to be about.
Me too!!
This has always been my favorite Zeppelin song, and it’s a tragedy that most classic rock fans never heard of it. It is a masterpiece. Thanks for the analysis.
Oh god, its the never ending “which zep song is better” me and my friends all have whenever a zep song plays.... lemme save everyone some time
There all the best!
YESS!! "Ten years gone" is my all time favorite Led Zeppelin tune. Fun to play. Even better to listen to. Thanks for posting!
Make one of these on the live Since I've been loving you!
You mean the one at the Paris Theatre?
@@ThinWhiteAxe I mean the 1973 Madison Square Garden.
Had my guitar teacher show me this song when I was about 15 or 16 I still play it quite often and love listening to it
I also get goosebumps on the main riff
