      @@abigaildevoe Followed immediately by Living Loving Maid, album style. It’s always interesting to me that it seems to have become an unspoken rule with radio - forged undoubtedly in the 70s by DJ habits - to do a two-fer. Much like We Will Rock You into We Are the Champions.
      I think it’s merely an old convention due to the fact that those songs seem to have extremely brief space between them on the vinyl for some reason. Although DJs spinning albums on air is long dead save perhaps college radio or small stations, it’s a habit that just stuck.

    Physical Graffiti is neither physical nor graffiti. It totally rocks!!! The Doors did a similar thing with the song Waiting for the Sun that Led Zeppelin did with Houses of the Holy. At least they got around to releasing it!!! Houses of the Holy is such an awesome song. I really love In the Light - the drone - the soft to loud thing and all that. I love the short segue (?) of Bron Yr Aur. It's beautiful. Love that open tuning acoustic. And I love Night Flight and Ten Years Gone. I've been to St. Mark's Place twice and haven't saved either set of photos. My pictures seemed to come out cockeyed aiming up across the street. Anyway, enough said. You know what would make a cool video? Famous locations featured on cover art. Well, maybe. Since this video was posted last year, I'm late to the Comments party. Yay!!! Where is everybody? - Thanks Abby!!!

    First heard this in 1984 when visiting my French penpal near Bordeaux when I was 15. Her older male cousin lived round the corner in a shabby house and he'd repair motorbikes and stuff. I think she was the "annoying younger cousin who comes to hang out sometimes" and she took me along.
    He asked what music I liked and said I'd been getting into Led Zeppelin. At this point I had only heard my younger brother's copies of the first 4 LPs (he didn't have a new wave/ Bowie habit to support like I did. He started young with LZ1 when he was about 12) - and he put "Physical Graffiti" on. I knew right away I had to have a copy - it sounded even better than the other Zeppelin I'd heard. Being just 15 I was constantly broke and couldn't afford all the records I wanted, even though ALL of my money went on records - so it would be another few years till I actually did get a copy - it was usually in the "this or 3 other records" price level. I eventually found a second hand copy in about 1988 - years later Discogs revealed it to be a first pressing. I only have this and LZ1 on vinyl - but I do have the CD box set.
    Where am I going with this?
    Well - after your LA Woman video last week that makes 2 consecutive videos on your channel covering pretty much the entirety of the English-language music I associate with my various stays in France. Unusual coincidence.

(The Rover...in my top 10 songs ever!!) ... first gig was Zeppelin's second Knebworth show '79....

I think they just go become groupies and travel with the band to wherever the band needed to go without telling their parents. I don't know if groupies is still even a thing. In today's modern world? I don't think so. Who knows what went on after every concert? My memory of this album was looking at the record label spinning round and round while Trampled Under Foot was playing on a big record counsel we used to have. It had a turntable, an 8-track tape player and a radio. What a thing to have. It was awesome.

    Hi Abby, I so appreciate all the hard work,and research you put into all your videos ! And that goes for your make up,and fashions ! Led Zeppelin were "Rock Gods" in my eyes, I saw them at Madison Square Garden twice. Jimmy Page was a "Merlin" type Magician on stage, dressed in black velvet pants and jacket embroidered with silver sequins of Astrological planets, and signs ! His guitar made sounds I never heard before,and when he got the violin bow out the crowd went wild ! He had "Hypnotized" the audience,and we LOVED it ! Robert Plant was a blond,god from an ancient myth,with a voice that made us believe anything he sang about ! John Bonham The constant beat of excitement,JPJ,the quiet gentlemen who played such an ethereal sound on keyboards.They were everything to us ! Physical Graffiti was not my favorite album though...Led Zeppelin III is my favorite,so artistic, and original. I will always love them !

    "Down by the Seaside" is apparently a tribute, sort of, to Neil Young and his album "Harvest". Some find a likenes to Young's "Down by the River" but all I can find that is similar is the title. "Down by the River" is very dark and quite far from a seaside resort.

      @@abigaildevoe Jeff also said in an early interview that he wanted to make an album that would make people forget about Led Zeppelin II. On the night that he drowned, Jeff was singing along to the opening track on said album - which was playing on his friend’s boombox - just moments before he disappeared, under the waves.
      Have you heard his covers of Night Flight? The extended version from the album, You and I, includes Jeff giving a shoutout to each member of Led Zeppelin, while talking about how much the song meant to him.
      Also, in a live rendition of The Way Young Lovers Do, during a concert in Germany, circa 1995, Jeff incorporated a really cool segue of Led Zeppelin’s Four Sticks, in the intro.

    Once again, you have completely nailed it! My thinking is over 90% with you. For me, the most delicious, beautiful and appropriate album sleeve for such a vast sprawling double album. And I agree that “in the light“, “10 years gone“ and “the wanton song” are the true triumph of this album. I would also add “in my Time of dying” to the shortlist amongst four sides of glorious riches.

    I saw Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden NYC Feb 7,1975. Physical Graffiti came out 2 1/2 weeks later so the band premiered Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, In My Time if Dying and Sick Again. I knew Kasmir was going to be big! It was a great show although Plant had the flu and Page's finger was injured ( therefore he couldn't do difficult solos for a few days ) I bought the LP immediately and didn't give my opinion why the songs are disjointed. We Zep fans waited and waited for new product. Where the LP was shot is in NYC and boasts a Physical Graffiti clothes store. Lol Ron Nivison is credited " Nevermind" I think he erased a guitar solo. It wasn't until years later I'd learn the story of where the album sessions songs are from. I buy every remaster, deluxe on all Zep Lps/CDs. In Sept 1975 my friend asked me to go see BAD COMPANY and FOGHAT. I declined. The next day he said Jimmy Page made an unannounced appearance on 2 songs!!! Thanks!! Fun Fact: THE DOORS Waiting For The Sun LP doesn't included the song Waiting For the Sun ( like ZEP would repeat with House's of the Holy.) 13:26

    That album IS truly special, not only for the music inside but for that unique, creative and mystique design,
    filled with an abundant amount of trivia. Other than Zepp. 3, there’s just no other cover like it. I don’t have nearly the awesome collection of vinyl that you do but at least I do possess this one. I love your favorite song choices but I really dig the epic “ In my time of Dying. “ And that one was never burned out because it was too long to get any airplay, making it even more special for myself. Great demo by the way, Abby.

    I'm more of a Sabbath head than Zeppelin, but you've made me want to give this a listen again. I think the ick around the "groupie" history tainted my enjoyment pretty soon after I started listening to them and never recovered, even with Tori Amos batting for Plant in her 90s heyday.
    Sabbath also got raked in the press, but it took a lot longer for the "critical reappraisal" to take place

    You have great taste in music, Abby. In my opinion, LZ's Physical Graffiti is their best album. There's a lot of cool blues in that album; I particularly like the slide guitar in the album. I have a promo vinyl version of it from when it was first released; it sounds terrific, and it's all analogue! 👍💖🎸😎

      I lived in Cardiff /Caerdydd for 9 years, I love Wales, wish I was still there. But boy is that a hard language to wrap one's tongue around! Once one does though it's positively delicious. I am in linguistic awe at the mutations principle. Was Cymraeg designed to fit poetry, or was poetry the logical end point?

      @@almishti Hi. Cymraeg is quite difficult for English speakers. The mutation principal is called treiglo.
      The language is one of the Brittonic languages that evolved over centuries from another much older common language.
      If you ever get back to Cymru I would recommend you visit the north where the native language is still the first language for most people.

I had moved on to country and bluegrass by 1975. I need to go back and give it a listen with fresh ears. Your review will help me wade through it. Thanks,

    Physical Graffiti isn't necessarily Led Zep's best album.....but it is my personal favorite. Yes, there is filler.....does IMTOD really have to pass the 11 minute mark? Boogie With Stu is harmless fun, but not much more. However, the high points.....including Custard Pie, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir and especially In the Light.....are majestic. Great video once again!
