I really like this one. Gets your feet tappin' and soul lifted. I love the way Jimmy's solo comes in, just owns that section of the song. Bonham's strong kick drum throughout. Robert's wry double-entendre lyrics about, well, HEADing "south." ANd JPJ on the keyboards is always a treat, and often a marvel.
All of the songs are good on this album. The sheer talent of this collective would ensure this even if full-member participation in the writing process was present throughout. Few bands throughout the history of the charts are ever allowed to stray outside of the preconceptions of their fan base. Fewer do it successfully. Like the Beatles, Led Zep leverages poetic license and did so successfully despite the critics. It's a softer Led Zep this time around, true. It's not the album you would put on if you wanted to stomp about like the good old days, but it has great tracks and is more reflective. It's the end of a hard day. Relax a little and put on 'In Through The Out Door'.
So many unknowns about this song! Is there some meaning in the misspelled title? Is it about Flying down to Suarez Uruguay? Is it a play on the word Soiree (french for "party")? Either way, all we know is it's one of only 2 LZ songs that Jimmy didn't write, and that it's a fun, lively dance song. The most likely scenario: The song was recorded in Nov-Dec 1978. The Miss World pageant was held in London on November 16 1978. The winner was Silvana Suarez from Argentina. Robert would have watched Suarez "walk that sweet walk" and "talk that sweet talk" during the competition. I like to believe the song is Robert imagining flying off to South America for sexual exploits with the newly crowned Miss World (rhythm, shaking, flying down, sweet con-carne, helpin' hands, raving madness...). Losing all anxiety as his feet land on the ground, both literally and figuratively.
In Through the Out Door is a very good album. It just suffered at the time of being different from their other albums. In hindsight it holds up very well and sounds fresh even today. It was a glimpse of what Zep might have become in the future.
With all the crap that came out in the 80's, Zeppelin music would've been a relief with the release of each new album, but sadly that didn't happen, although Robert and Jimmy released some good music, it certainly wasn't Zeppelin
You should check out some of Robert plants music after Zeppelin,he still performs and he has done an album with Allison Kraus. He has done so much great music and continues today. Please check out Ship of fools, 29 palms and Rainbow, great songs by Plant. Gone gone gone is a good one from Plant and Kraus
I remember when this album was released in 79. Was disappointed it wasn’t heavier. But in 79 there wasn’t a whole lot of great music coming out. So we were appreciative that any band was releasing anything halfway decent. 43 years later I have a better appreciation for this album. It’s quite good.
And I think the issue is there is no absolutely standout song. Even Presence had a couple worth the price of the album. Fool In The Rain probably gets closest. But after a string of legendary albums, simply releasing a great album is going to be a let down
Bought this cassette when it first came out. Think I was 14, I wore it out. I didn’t know about all of the other amazing Zepplin tunes yet. I loved this one just because it was good music. I think fool in the rain still stands out as one of their better songs. At least one of my favorites.
Great frenetic, boogie-woogie piano and sharp, gritty guitar makes the whole thing sound like a jump-jive party song - so much fun! Although, to my knowledge, "suarez" is not a Spanish word for "party", however it is a common surname in some Spanish speaking countries, as well as a place name in Columbia, I believe, and I think it's a place name in a couple of other counties as well.
In Through the Out Door was a very experimental album for the band. Robert Plant is well known for not resting on his laurels and is constantly pushing the envelope. Interesting thing about this album is it was the only one that was not recorded as a unit. JPJ and Plant would show up during the day and lay down their tracks and Page and Bonham would turn up at night to record theirs. You can almost sense the disjointed atmosphere at the time. This album has a darkness that, knowing that Bonham died a little over a year after it's release, seems foreboding.
Oh man. I think the next song is I’m Gonna Crawl. Another gem, it’s a unique song bro, I can’t wait till you react to it. This band is just ridiculous lol lol. They NEVER MISS
Plant said this song reminded him of "about five o'clock in the morning in New Orleans, wishing you'd got the strength you had at 9am." This is one of only two songs in the entire Zeppelin catalog that Jimmy Page did not get any writing credit. This is mostly due to the fact that Jimmy was not showing up to recording sessions, and JPJ and Robert were left to do something while they had recording time booked.
I remember the biggest complaint from people that I knew at the time was the album just wasn't heavy enough. Which I think was a direct result of Page not being very involved in the writing process. If this hadn't been their last album, if they had released a much heavier album after this one, I think it would be more appreciated over time.
To me, In Through the Out Door picked up where Physical Graffiti left off. It had more of the feel that marked the band's albums before Presence. The problem with that album was the band had scattered to escape excessive taxation that had seen many of Britain's most talented become tax exiles. By 1978 and with the Labor government heading for defeat the next year the band was able to return home to work together to create this album. The songs were better developed, more subtle in their arrangements than Presence which was weighted too heavily to where Page's brain was at the time. The true follow-up to Presence was the album Page did with David Coverdale. It had all those sensational Page riffs but was otherwise emotionally sterile.
I managed to find all of the cover variations after many purchases of the album. How do you know when that happens? Open them! Yes. I was an idiot 😂 Oddly enough I never really loved the album but I was a huge Zep fan.
I don't know if you personally sense it or not but the "spirit" and "magic" of Led Zeppelin left them after Physical Graffiti. It would appear here and there but never to the same degree.
I think you're right....and the reason is Jimmy Page. Zeppelin's usual recording process is that Jimmy would retreat to his home studio and create concepts and base tracks, and the band would convene in the studio and listen to what Jimmy came up with. Then they'd morph and add to it, and jam. Jimmy was responsible for about 90% of the music behind Led Zeppelin, and he was the clear leader of the band, from a vision point of view. After Physical Graffiti, Jimmy started losing control, and started to drift aimlessly. He held it together on Presence, but by In Through The Out Door, Jimmy started to skip recording sessions entirely. The loss of magic and spark you refer to is Jimmy Page losing his grip.
@@tektoniks_architects it was tragic what happened to Jimmy, Bonzo and Robert over those 5 years. Jimmy was lucky that, because of friends and colleagues who pushed him to get out there again (The Firm) he came back to himself and did some great work. Bonzo wasnt lucky…..and never got that chance. What a force of nature he was…….and what a good friend to Robert
in through the out door is an amazing album but I have always thought that... depending on who you ask.....eclectic is just a nice word for confusing and or not cohesive. every track is an experiment in playing with a different genre so this is a hard album to read as a single work of art. but all the songs are perfect.
In The Evening is my least favorite song of the album (but our tastes are indeed divergent: I dislike In The Light and Hots On.., and I LOVE Tea For One). But we both like The Crunge, so I guess that is a matter of things we focus on in a song (many Zep songs are growers for me)
I LOVE Hot Dog!!! I love it when a band says "Screw it" and just has a lot of fun with whatever they're doing. Is it cheesy? Oh hell yeah. But to me, it's them having fun.
For me, this 🎵 is actually one of my favorites from these rock icons. I’m constantly replaying this video lol.
me too
Led Zeppelin records sound big ! always
Breezy and light tune... something to listen to while tooling on down the road.
I really like this one. Gets your feet tappin' and soul lifted. I love the way Jimmy's solo comes in, just owns that section of the song. Bonham's strong kick drum throughout.

You haven't spoilt the next song,I'm Gonna Crawl is just brilliant, Aussie Chris 👍🦘
I'm Gonna Crawl isn't the next song

This song is about HEADing "South."
The lead vocals were done by Robert Plant.
The guitar and the piano makes a wonderful mix 🎹♥️🎸🎶🎼🎵👑
The next song is played on the radio quite often
Used to jam this song growing up.
When you get to Hot Dog, Please do the live version from 1979 Knebworth. You can see they are having so much fun.
This song always makes me happy. ✌️

Agree completely. And I think some of the songs on this album gives us a taste of what Plant's solo career would sound like.
And I think the issue is there is no absolutely standout song. Even Presence had a couple worth the price of the album. Fool In The Rain probably gets closest. But after a string of legendary albums, simply releasing a great album is going to be a let down
John Paul Jones really shines on this
He does for much of this album in particular! Caroselambra as well!
This would be a good song from any band, but people are so used to being amazed and astonished by LZ songs that songs like this suffer in comparison.
Beer hall piano,bring it!Thank God LZ did-not-care,here is the music.
Yeah it’s a crime. This song is magnificent!!!

Can’t wait for your reaction to the next track….😘😘

A real foot tapper of a tune...
Even though it is mispelled on the album, I believe the word, "Saurez" is pronounced "swa-ray" like the French word "soirée".

Yeah...poor Jimmy and Bonzo were going through hard times. Jimmy pulled out of it thank God but so awful it took Bonzo's life 😢
@@juliemanarin4127 For sure

If this hadn't been their last album, if they had released a much heavier album after this one, I think it would be more appreciated over time.
I agree. If this came out between say, Houses & Physical Graffiti, I feel it would probably be viewed in a similar light as LZ III.

Tamborine on the hi-hat?
Any new rock songs with this kind of punch 👂 No? Great original page chord structure. The genius Well then i think its settled
Perfectly fine album track. Solid. The only song on the album I'd describe as such. Almost every other song is great. And then there's Hot Dog...
I LOVE Hot Dog!!! I love it when a band says "Screw it" and just has a lot of fun with whatever they're doing. Is it cheesy? Oh hell yeah. But to me, it's them having fun.
