This song is epoch…. I love the drive and all the mood changes.. good stuff. I’ve been listening to it since it came out - I was 11 years old. Still strong for sure.
THE GREATEST BAND EVER HANDS DOWN !!❤😊
The song was based on music from Carousels that Plant and Jones heard growing up.
One of my favorite songs by Zeppelin. Didn't get a lot of airtime due to it's length, but this song fucking bangs!
its all about the groove
love the change up in the middle, so beautiful.
I defy anyone to be able to understand what the hell Robert is singing about because his voice is absolutely smothered in the mix!
That was my big pet peeve when this song came out back in the day. The band just sounded spent, and it's no wonder. But all these years later I can appreciate the flavor and mood of their latter work, and it has aged like a fine wine, no cliche intended.
Some of the lyrics are quite critical of Jimmy Page but not by name, because of his failure to support Plant when Plant's son died while LZ were on tour. It's no wonder Jimmy smothered Robert's voice in the mix. Robert Plant said something like, the person that this is about is going to realise it one day. (I'm paraphrasing not quoting here as a I can't recall the exact quote). A lot of it is about the band and the risks of their lifestyle and the outcome of that for Plant.
Not understanding what he's saying does absolutely nothing to detract from the song for me, his voice is just another instrument in the mix..it's a masterpiece
I honestly think that if Plant's voice and the lyrics had been clearer, it wouldn't have been the same song. I think the fact that the lyrics were essentially drowned out really made the song more powerful. You have to listen even more closely.
@@heliotropezzz333 bingo.
This track made me fall in love with Led Zeppelin on a entire new level! You nailed it 3 parts of epicness.. just a little info: Jimmy page was in the throes of h addiction, Robert plant was dealing with the death of his son, bonzo was being the head of the London mob and John Paul Jones God bless him said o f... We got a album due real soon and he mede In through the out door...
The greatest band there will ever be.
All these years later, I play this song the most off this album. Fool In The Rain was always played on the radio, so it is in another category... 😎
There's 5 tunes I keep going back to with Zepp: In my Time of Dying.. Nobody's Fault but Mine.. 10 Years Gone.. In the Light.. and as mentioned "Achilles"..
JPJ is prolly the best multi-instrumentalists ever. Dude now crashes bluegrass convention in Tennessee and NC.
the badass one
this just made my day and reminded me of a overlooked and underplayed Led Zep jam. You rocked this shit!
I gotta give it to you, Biz....You find the best music to react to. Nobody does it better IMO and you have excellent taste. Keep up the great work my man!
Wow thanks fam 🙌🏿🙌🏿
This is a copy/paste of my explanation of this song from a previous reaction. There is SO much in this song that I want to do it justice and give a thorough response. My apologies to anyone who's already read this from me: I adore this song; it is emotional, intense and I consider to be Zep's most prog rock. The vocals are a bit buried under the instrumentation, but the lyrics describe the entire arc of Led Zeppelin to that point and Robert's anger over the lack of support he felt after his son passed. Everything was basically milk and honey when they started ("all was joy and hands were raised towards the sun as love in the halls of plenty overrun"). It described how strong and powerful the group was ("and everything is soon, no sooner thought than deed but no one seemed to question anyway"). However, devastation was lurking ("How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land to seek the unsuspecting and the weak"). After the tragedy ("Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand") the band had to figure out what to do ("...and make the 'status plan'") would Plant want to continue? What was going to happen? In the slowed down middle, part of the lyrics are "Where was your word, where did you go?" and "Where was your helping, where was your bow?" These parts are believed to be addressing Peter Grant and Jimmy specifically as Robert felt "Adrift on a sea of futile speech". From earlier songs, the cracks were already there but I think it was the aftermath of Karac's death that completed Robert's inner break with Zeppelin ("Release the grip, throw down the key") even if, outwardly, he was still in the band. At one point near the end, Robert yells "They had to stay!" I think the lyric is there because out of the group only Bonzo went back with Robert and was present at the funeral. Why? Some say the rest of the band didn't want to add to the already media frenzy during such a difficult time, some say they should have done *something*. Later in the mid-90s, when Jimmy and Robert reunited for Unledded, they would perform In The Evening but during the middle, work in the middle lyrics of Carouselambra but changed, so instead of "Where was your word, where did you go?" etc., you might hear "Where did you come from, where did you go? Strong was your armor, dark was your bow." You should read the full lyrics of the song; their private story is almost painful to hear out loud. Thank you for your indulgence for this long post.
👏👏👏 ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY written and SPOT ON Henrietta!!🥰 Thank you so much for sharing this.... copy/paste away all you like!!😊 I for one, am grateful for it and you're absolutely right... the end of Zep's story, especially after Karac's death (and then later, Bonham's passing) is absolutely painful. Thanks again for your ON POINT comment!!👊 Peace and light...💞
You need NEVER apologize, Henriette- the work you put in to keep things accurate is exemplary.. As you might remember, I've been a big fan for a long time now. Your work is true, your English excellent, and your spelling world class. I don't always comment, but I do give you a Like every time I see your comment. You are- in short- the best. Biz is pretty good too. From Canada. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
Thank You for that explanation Henrietta. It sounds like the break up was inevitable even if Bonzo had not died.
@@gerhardbraatz6305 it sounds like it, doesn't it? The addictions in the band weren't helpful, but even if Bonzo lived and he and Jimmy could clear their addictions, Robert wanted more control of the musical direction. All three remaining members have said Zeppelin songwriting/recording was fairly democratic in that any of the 4 could bring something in and if they agreed it was good, it got used and vice versa. Would the others have liked where Robert seemed to want to go musically (based off his solo work)? Who knows? Alas, it is always sad to get to the end of their catalogue, knowing what happened.
@@henriettaskolnick4445 You're right about that but thank God they left us with so much great music.
I wore this song out in 1979, great album.
Top 10 road trip songs
This song was one that took me a while to get into, being so different from anything else Zeppelin did. It eventually became one of my favorite tracks on this unique album. By the way, Bizmatik, I love you channel and love your vibe. You're one of those reactors that I would love to hang with in real life.
I love it!
Thanks fam
This is the first time I've listened to it in many years and I gotta say, it almost sounds like it could be a Rush song.
Yes it is going to make a transition.good ears.
masters!!!!!!!!!
"and all was joy and hands raised toward the sun ."
John Bonham’s drumming is flawless on this piece.
I always liked this one. A standout track for many reasons. Surrealism in the sense that it sounds like an alternate reality game show, like Price is Right. Come on down! Then someone on ludes and LSD tries making their way thru the fog to take their place amongst the other contestants, only to find that either they can't reach their place to compete in the game, which is life&death. Then the quicksand like bits that Page slips in. If you take nothing else away from that ramble, just think of a 1970s game show. Think of COME ON DOWN! and the synth intro, hell the entire thing until that sludgy bit comes in.
The influence of Disco is evident, but at a much higher level
I couldn't say it any better than Henrietta Skolnick did. This girl knows her Zeppelin! I love Led Zeppelin with every fiber of my being, but I think Henrietta can take it a bit further than I can with her candid and well thought out comment.
👏👏👏 Loved ur reaction to this incredible/special song!!🥰 It's super late so I don't have time for my usual long-winded comment! lol!!🤷♀️😜 But Henrietta did a fantastic job of covering things (I LOVE what she wrote!!🤗). Glad you liked it!! See ya on the next one!!😎❤
I just read what she wrote so detailed
next up… “all my love”. beautiful sad song. check the history/meaning. followed by “i’m gonna crawl”. a MASTERPIECE!! enjoy!
I already got the history of "All My Love" covered brother.😉 I told Biz about the significance of it several albums ago! lol!!😅 He asked back during his Zep II ( I think!) album review what our favorite Zep songs are and I listed it as one of mine. Since then, I've mentioned it a few times (ok, ok.... a lot!🤦♀️😂)!! I couldn't help it, that song is special and in regard to what you said.... I've never considered it a sad song.🤷♀️ I think it's a beautiful heart felt song filled with nothing but the purest love from a father to his child!! Funny thing is, that song has been used at weddings for decades now!! The sentiment is universal.... it's simply an expression of the purest love.💯🥰
And yeah, "I'm Gonna Crawl" is one hell of a bluesy masterpiece!! Robert's scream towards the end gives me chills every time I've ever heard it!! It'll be interesting to see what Biz thinks for sure! Although, I'm pretty sure "relationship Biz" is gonna have some riveting commentary on the lyrics!😂🤣😅😅
@@tinagilbert8902 i’d consider a song about the death of a child pretty sad.
@@robertladdieanderson6085 K well, the song is not about Karac's death.... it's about Robert's love for his boy. It is actually a positive song in that writing and recording the song was very healing for Robert. At any rate, like most things it's subjective and all about the perspective in which you choose to look at something.
I have always seen it as a beautiful, touching and healing song. Just my thoughts.🤷♀️ Peace and light...💞
@@tinagilbert8902 um… ok… tina. unfortunately you’re not a winner but we do appreciate you playing! enjoy your evening!
@@robertladdieanderson6085 🙄 Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine??🤦♀️🤣😂🤣 Enjoy your evening as well. Peace and light...💞
Great reaction to crazy rollercoaster of a tune. Love this song...dark lyrics 🤘
Robert's complete dismissal of Jimmy Page. Cracks in the Zeppelin armor.
Robert expressing how hurt and angered he was by Jimmy's failure to help or support him after Robert's son died while LZ were on tour and Robert's subsequent disillusionment with LZ and its lifestyle.
And JPJ, who cow-rote and dominates the instrumentals.
@@blackpowder4016co-wrote possibly? No cow ever composed anything, with or without another person.
When you get a chance listen to Judith by Perfect Circle it will not disappoint!!!
I never noticed how the bass at the end section sounds like the Thumpasarus from Parliment's Mothership Connection.
Held now within the knowing
Rest now within the peace
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...
I'm with you on this, brother Biz. There are a lot of good bands out there, but nobody can ever compare to these guys. Nobody. Ever. It's over. A guitarist , a bassist / keyboardist, a drummer, a singer. That's it. Now, we get Taylor Swift and Lizzo. I'd like to see you do a review of ' The song remains the same ' ( 1973, Madison Square garden ). Compare that, to what is offered today as ' talent '.
I really like this song, love the keyboards from JP Jones. Has a great groove. I know it was different for LZ, the whole album was but I always liked it. First time here because you are doing this song, been trying to get Andy & Alex to do it for 2 years! Thank you for this and for not being like the Lost in Vegas guys who pause songs 14 times and blather on and on every time they pause, they suck! You are cool, I will subscribe!
Thanks Fam and Welcome to the channel!
Probably my favorite on the album, followed by I'm Gonna Crawl. All of My Love is Great too
From Hot Dog to this one. The last two may surprise you.
This album has been nothing but suprising lol
@@watchbizmatik I’m looking forward to your reaction of I’m Gonna Crawl.
Bonham carries this tune and gives it gravitas.
In hindsight, its interesting to consider where Zeppelin were going as the eighties approached. Obviously it was a very dark time for the band personally, as has been documented. Listening to Darlene and Wearing & Tearing, which were outtakes from these sessions, this record could've had a much harder edge. But the album was to be more experimental as it turned out, this track among them, and maybe Plant and Jones prevailed over Bonham and Page on direction. It would take another six years for Page to emerge from his chemical drift of this period, and the loss of Bonham was decisive.
I think you have it exactly right. Jimmy was certainly struggling with his additions, and Robert/JPJ had control of this album. In some sense, I believe Bonham's death may finally have given Jimmy the impulse to get clean....had Bonham not died, would Jimmy have ever gotten control of his demons? We'll never know. But Jimmy was not in control of this album, and that is why it is so different than every other Zep album - when Jimmy was in enough control to steer the ship where he wanted.
@@tektoniks_architects Thanks I think that part of Jimmy's descent into the ether started around the time of Presence, and the three weeks of 20 hours marathons to complete that work. Then the ill-fated 77 tour, which let's be honest, was dodgy by Page standards. Then the malaise before the Outdoor sessions, followed by a very dodgy mini-tour of Europe in summer 1980. After Bonham's loss, who died at Page's mansion, he didn't touch the guitar for a long period thereafter. The Death Wish soundtrack and XYZ sessions were it. Then he is talked into the ARMs tour with Clapton and Beck, and he looked and played emaciated. Credit to Paul Rodgers for pulling him back off the cliff, because Jimmy Page is one of a handful of generational talents of any era, and is among the Mount Rushmore of classic rock artists in my book.
As a loyal fan of your gist, I suggest a track-by-track exploration of Golden Earing Moontan. You might have already covered Radar Love but that is just the designed hit. The rest of the journey, especially on headphones, is worth the effort. A contemporary album of dark side of the moon from some dudes in Holland.
The Nastiest Zeppelin is from CODA. My second favorite Led Zep album. It would be a sin for you to not AT LEAST check it out on your own. Every song on it is drenched with the raunchiest material in their canon. Bonham's Bonzo's Theme alone is worth the whole album. It also boasts some of their weirdest music also.
I will check it out
I believe LZ were rehearsing this song when John Bonham died. It was supposed to be a centrepiece of their upcoming US concerts.
Perhaps one of their most misunderstood tracks. It’s DECEPTIVELY easy sounding too. Go ahead and try to play along to it. John Paul had just taken delivery of a new Yamaha GX-1 keyboard….thing (as he put it.) Duel keyboards, full pedal board - all the bells n whistles. Immediately he started writing and this song is the magnum opus which came from it. The band were split in two camps by now. Robert and John Paul showed up to the room on time everyday - while Jimmy and Bonzo were still in the grips of their under the table addictions and showed up at night time to do their parts. Seeing as they paid for the room, there was no sense in wasting time so Jones took the reigns and pushed forward, with Robert right there with him, and basically wrote this entire album. The lyrics during the breakdown say it all and Jimmy had reason for burying them in the mix. “Where was your word, where did you go? Where was your helping, where was your bow?” He’s referring to Jimmy’s absence during the darkest time in Robert’s life: the passing of his 6 year old son, 18 months prior to these sessions.
Used to think this was weak for The Mighty Zep. Shows you what I knew...
That was serious
It's kind of progressive,great piece gets better with age!
You should pay attention to the lyrics. They are profound
Although this album was definitely a departure from what came before, it rocks and it swings and holds a prominent place in my collection.
I have no idea what the lyrics are and never bothered to look them up. I've always thought of this song as an instrumental.
The lyrics are very interesting. They are about the band, the risks it was taking, the disconnection from the real world and Jimmy Page's failure to support Robert after Robert's son died while LZ were on tour and Robert's subsequent disillusionment with the band's lifestyle.
Hot Dog....nothing else!
Robert plant has a solo album. Tall cool one. A banger
The lyrics trash Page, Zep was done here.
An overall sadness to the album.
My least favorite Zeppelin tune. Still better than most modern music.
Yeah but nothing beats the middle of the sont part. You gotta love it
