Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle. Bernard played on hundreds of albums.
Bonzo's known signature piece was always Levee (sampled to death), and to some degree Time of Dying and Achilles, but this one's gotta be right there with the others as one of his crowning achievements. Just a sick groove
@@jgsrhythm100 So Bernard Purdie....never noticed before.......Bonzo loved to take from Clyde Subblefeild shuffle beat from James Brown's band....but that is the Purdie shuffle for sure
Bonzo was depressed during this time and didn't like his drumming very much. I wish he would have lived to know how much everyone loves these drums and are still talking about it 44 years later.😢
I knew you guys would love this. And what Bonzo did there was take the already difficult Purdy Shuffle and modified it for his use in this song, and in so doing made it even more difficult. It's just so fun, especially his choice of fills within that framework.
This is why Bonzo is a genius. Most drummers would play a second snare hit - like a double - on every beat. But he restrains himself to every fourth hit. Moves the song. Page was into heroin, Bonzo was into drink so it was left up to Plant and JPJ to create this album. Wait until "Southbound Suarez"!

@@jlstock_1 Here are isolated drums for what inspired Bonzo Fool in the Rain & Jeff Poccaro " Rossanna. They both did something unique with it. Interesting to here the roots that bare the fruits. th-cam.com/video/zXmpf-aLvDA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jPEVEEy7AKY-Q1A1
I read somewhere that they had attended the World Cup in Argentina to watch England play. They were in the stadium during a Brazil game and heard the fans plaing Samba in the stands. That's how they got the inspiration for the Samba beat in the song.
It gets WAY too much hate. I always ask the haters "what exactly did you want Led Zeppelin to sound like at the end of the 70s and beginning of the 80s with all that was going on with music? Led Zep 2?!
I might quibble with the word "hate," tho I'm sure there are some who actively feel malevolence towards it, heh. MY theory, and speaking only for myself here, but i may be onto something, is: I and many of my friends in '79, roughly 16-19 at the time, felt let down that there was no "Black Dog" (tho there was a "Hot Dog," ba-dum-dum) or "Immigrant Song" or, for the aficionados among us, a "Nobody's Fault But Mine." What was with all these synthesizers and whistles and shit? Wasn't that sort of New Wave-y or, worse, within shouting distance of the dreaded "DISCO" sound/vibe? At the time my "clique" was "jock-turning-into-freak"/athlete-to-stoner. And the soft, sing-songy "All My Love"? (Shamefully, we may have even realized, unmoved, that it was about Robert mourning the loss of his boy.) WTF, Zep? Is my vague memory of our then-idiotic , macho-tainted first take on the album. So we cranked "In The Evening," fiddled (so to speak) with "Hot Dog," MAYBE explored "Carouselambra" to the point of SOME appreciation, and pretty much left the rest alone, including THIS little masterpiece. Fools in the Rain, indeed. I just wonder if others had the same reaction/impression, and that then somehow carried thru the decades into this being cited as their "worst" album? I don't think they had a "bad" album, not even close. Only "maybe slightly better than the others" ones.
@@joescott8877 interesting to read your perspective and what age you were at the time. I am sure you aren’t alone in that experience. I was 8 years old and absorbed all their previous albums all at once from albums I had, what the older gives got me into and what the radio was playing. It was all new to me even though some of it was already 10 years old. Definitely felt what you felt about the album at the time (as much as an 8 year old could). My thoughts about “what did you want them to sound like in 1979?” Was a thought I only had recently. They could have been retro old sounding Zep, could have been post punk or post disco or new wave. Where they did end up landing sound wise on that album might have been the best option.
Thi album shows their versatility and what COULD have been in the 80s if Bonzo hadn't passed- only reached #21 on the charts BUT after Bonzo died the NYC area Album Oriented Rock stations put Fool in the Rain on regular rotation for decades after

It's crazy to think this song doesn't get enough love. But it doesn't. Some of Bonham's best work. JPJ is a sneaky assassin. Jimmy drifts back to the "know your role" spot. Plant's vocals are so clean... his tone is crazy good. Fun to watch you guys pick up on the musicianship that makes this song amazing.
Gotta say, you got me laughing out loud with how much joy your expressing listening to this. I started drumming 40 years ago because of Bonham, and I always thought this was one of his very best. "That's HARD, man". Fok yeah, hard as shit. You guys should listen to some Jack White (good intro song is "Lazaretto" - and a GREAT official video), he might be the best live rock performer out there right now. Keep up the good work! love it.
Probably damaged many steering wheels with that snare roll coming out of the fast drumming in the middle section. Definitely a Road Trip Song. That Shuffle Groove is so good.
This is a "drop the mic" moment for the band. If there was any doubt as to the GOAT rock'n'roll band talent, this should have been the convincing moment.
I love that last lyric, "I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block!" Cracks me up every time. Jimmy Page used regular distortion and a fuzz/octave peddle for the solo. John Bonham is just on another level and JPJ is always incredible. Plant always sounds great!
This may well be my favorite video of you guys reacting to Zeppelin. Not ONLY because you so clearly loved it, but because your enthusiasm helped ME to RE-appreciate just how fucking good this bad boy is! I heap shame on my high school self in '79 for buying into the notion that this was somehow "inferior" Led cos it wasn't "Black Dog" or "Heartbreaker" or whatever! LOL, man, F that, as I've come to realize, since High School: this is ZEPPELIN, the band that makes ANYTHING they try superb!
It's so great to see the younger generations appreciating Led Zeppelin like we 60's and 70yr olds grew up with and thier are many more bands from that era that could blow you away and NO the Who did not suck and John Entwistle was no where near as talented as John Paul Jones, but he was still in that great bassist league. 👍
This Bonzo interpretation of the ‘Purdie Shuffle’ is *LEGENDARY.* There’s an isolation of this drum track out there and you can reeeeally hear the intricacy of his ghost notes and just how solid it is. It’s also pertinent to acknowledge Bernard “Pretty” Purdie who was the originator of the Purdie Shuffle :)
My fav Zeppelin album!! It’s has everything that is great about Zeppelin….has a blues song….has a hit song….has a love song…..has a cheeky song….has a hard rock song…..has a progressive rock song. It’s all incredible and the production is amazing and the art work is super cool. Go Jays! ✌️❤️🇨🇦❤️✌️
This song, "In The Evening," and "South Bound Suarez" in particular just break my heart making me thing what the Zeppelin of the 80s might have sounded like.
One of my favorite Zeppelin albums, despite how badly the critics and a lot of fans shit all over it after it was released. I was so excited about this newer direction and was hyped to see what they would come up with on the next album....and Bonzo dies and that was the end of Zeppelin. Imagine what could have been. *sigh*
Just another example of why they are the GOATS! They were rolling into the 80’s just fine musically. Personally there were some things to work out. Carouselamba is coming. JPJ is the secret sauce on this album. He was delivering all the goods. John Henry Bohnam showed again why he is held in such high regard. The man was percussive perfection in human form.
We had a rockband in Sweden and had a pruducer called Leif Mases on our third record , he got the job as producer on In thru The Outdoor With Led Zeppelin which was recorded in ABBAs Polar Studio here in Stockholm .
Everytime I watch one of your reactions, I pickup something I never heard before from either you two or others comments. Thats why I love these reactions. Keep it up!
It's my bithday today. Watching you guys react and appreciate the band I have loved for 53 years was a fabulous gift !!!!!!! Thanks for being "true reactors", I remember hearing and feeling things while listening to zep albums that I had never heard of from any other band or musician.(and every band was on their "A" game in that era) It's a different feeling from every song. No quarter, and the rain song really take you somewhere else, those are in my top 10 live songs. FITRain just makes you happy , want to dance , and laugh that Robert was on the wrong block the whole time. I truly can't think of another band that covered so many different genres. If someone says they don't like zeppelin, it just means they haven't heard their albums !!! There is at least one song they are going to love. imo. Once again,, thanks guys for all the time you've spent covering lz, and please keep going because there is so much more !!!
This song is definitely different for the band. Bonzo's "Purdie shuffle" is outstanding and his timbale work is top tier. Jonesy plays marimba with hard and soft mallets while Jimmy provides occasional twelve-string flourishes and a guitar solo using an MXR Blue Box octave fuzz effect to give his guitar a unique, buzzy/fuzzy tone. The Samba tone was inspired by Jones and Plant watching the televised 1978 World Cup soccer matches that were being hosted by Argentina during the month of June, just as the band was starting to write songs for this album. I also love the lyrics about a guy going to meet his girl until he realizes he's waiting on the wrong block. It's a song that underscores, yet again, that Zep could and would be different as they pleased.
Haha, I've rewatched this like 4-5 times, just to experience your joy at this song again. I've been listening to this since the 80s, glad you're loving it.Carouselambra is also wild like this, can't wait.
Yeah, after Physical Graffiti, this is probably my favorite album. They’re all pretty close, but this would get played before II or Houses of the Holy.
@@Verlopil Ha. It’s so tongue and cheek. I love it. You need to listen to it with an ear of humor. It’s a rock band doing a country song about a country boy losing his girl to a rock band.
This was definitely one of the biggest hits off the album, but the one that got the most playtime was "All of My Love" the tribute song Robert wrote about the death of his son and how it affected the life of his parents afterward. JPJ really stepped-up writing and arranging this album, but the band showed how good they could still be in spite of the many directions they were being pulled during the time. I can only imagine how wonderful it might have been, even if they just wrote and produced music going forward and never, or just sparingly toured! The Stones, The Who, Floyd, even Sabbath, had decades to change and adapt and build a resume. These guys sadly ended up having to cram it all in
You guys should do CODA as well. There’s some really good stuff on there. There’s a second version from a live take of I Cant Quit You Baby that’s super hard and gritty. It’s also one of my favorite Bonham tracks. Plus you NEED to do Traveling Riverside Blues. Such a great groove.
Well hot dog! That samba mid section is just some next level stuff. It’s amazing all the musical styles that Zeppelin touches on. When you’re finished with this album you should definitely do Coda too.
This has got to be one of my favorite Zep tunes! What a rhythm….Bonzo at his best, joined by Mr Plant, Page and Jones adding their special touches. Glad you brothers liked it! Your reaction was priceless! Thank you for this midweek pick-me-up!
This is a Samba beat that inspired them when they watched world cup matches in 1978 (Argentina) ... just another genre for them to explore!!! I did warn you after "In the Evening" that this one was gonna slay you ... Makes my top 10 all time LZ play list!
Bass player here, and it is always so damn nice to see JPJ getting some love, so thank y'all for that. The man was, and still is, an absolute monster player.
One of my favorites of theirs simply due to Bonham's shuffle/swing. And JPJ is simply a damn genius, I'm glad you guys give him his props. He's vastly underrated it seems to me.
A variation of the Purdy shuffle more left hand ghost notes are played in 6/8 time giving it a swing beat feel… Purdy played drums for Steely Dan in the song Black cow ☮️❤️🙏🌍🌏🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️
The lyrics he supposed to meet a girl on a particular corner and it’s raining now and he’s waiting on the wrong corner and now all the questions in his mind that are going through because he thinks he’s in the right place….. JV/varsity this was the song that got me psyched for home football games… ☮️❤️🙏
Great reaction Chi and La there is a reason why the Zeppelin machine is considered one of the greatest bands of all time. Bonzo what can you say about one of the Goats. Love your reaction gentlemen keep on doing what you’re doing love it…
Heard it thousands of times and never gets old. You two help refresh and make me listen even more closely and it puts a new perspective on it. Thanks and I LOVE this tune
I lived with my grandmother for a couple of years when I was going to college. She was born like 1907. She loved the hell out of Bonham's drumming when I would crank it on the house.
When I want "f*** yeah!" Led Zeppelin, I play albums I-IV, but when I want feel good Led Zeppelin, I play songs like this. This song in particular just makes you feel good, gets your body moving and puts you in a good mood. Zep's last two albums are criminally underrated, and this song is probably my favourite off this, their last album. Great stuff.
One of my favorite reactions by you guys. The whole song is great, but I've been in love with the drum track on this song for many decades! Bonham was all over it.
I know a lot of Led Zeppelin.... But for some reason.... I know all the words to this song, and it's probably my all-time favorite from them.....I don't know why..😁
Fool in the Rain used one of Zeppelin's favored arrangements. A riff you cannot ignore, an interlude and a return to the riff to see the song out. This song, like Dazed and Confused and In My Time of Dying, returned to the riff from the band playing at 100mph, making the transition all the more spectacular as the tempo slowed dramatically. The other recurring Zeppelin style is the song that continues to evolve, most famously Stairway to Heaven. Others are more subtle, with simply the addition of more instruments. The reason people keep coming back to listen to Zeppelin songs is anticipation. You are waiting to to hear that transition, that solo, that piano, that extra guitar, that tiny flaw in the recording. This is what you get when you have great musicians who understand production.
Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle. Bernard played on hundreds of albums.
Keep playing this one back, so nice to share and appreciate such solid musicianship with other people. Always keen to hear both your opinions, you are fast becoming Zep obsessives like the rest of us Zep heads 😂
SO MANY SMILES ON MY FACE IN THIS ONE!! Your FACIALS in this one: I DUG IT!!! Should-a seen OUR faces when this came out on the radio!! OMG!!! UNMATCHED!! They ALL tore this one UP!!! SO, SO, SO GOOOOOOD!!!! Such a GREAT GROOVE with a latin / island vibe....LOVE IT!!! HUGS, GUYS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine having the depth of musical ability to create, yeah sometimes pinch, such a varied catalogue of music that has such popular appeal yet still remain cutting edge, truly outstanding. So many thanks to that little island in the North Atlantic that has given so much to music.

Two songs from this album get real heavy airplay: Fool in the Rain and All My Love (a song about the death of Roberts son).
That swing by Bonham is one of the deepest grooves in popular music. It’s fun to remember that’s the same cat who does dazed and confused.

He is missed
Like the man said, the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long.

Well put Steve❗
With a samba breakdown in the middle. No sweat.
Bonzo would use something he liked - the feel of it, never just taking it note for note though, he was his own style unto himself.
This is why Bonzo is a genius. Most drummers would play a second snare hit - like a double - on every beat. But he restrains himself to every fourth hit. Moves the song. Page was into heroin, Bonzo was into drink so it was left up to Plant and JPJ to create this album. Wait until "Southbound Suarez"!

When that “Purdie” shuffle comes on, it’s impossible not to move 🤙
One of my all-time fav albums. (I got the vinyl from BMG music - lOl - anybody remember that?)
The drums track was "liberated" years ago. It really shows how well he played (you can also hear his grunts while playing).
I never noticed that...hearing the grunts!! Like his yells on Whole Lotta Love!
That was 100% the exact way to react to hearing that song on headphones for the first time.

Yeah, after Physical Graffiti, this is probably my favorite album. They’re all pretty close, but this would get played before II or Houses of the Holy.
This was my gateway album to Zep when I was 16. I adore this album and after PG it's my favourite LZ album
Hot Dog scared and scarred me. I just can't listen to it.
@@Verlopilyou’re not alone.
@@Verlopil Ha. It’s so tongue and cheek. I love it. You need to listen to it with an ear of humor. It’s a rock band doing a country song about a country boy losing his girl to a rock band.
One of the best John Bonham grooves🔥🤝🏾
This is hands down my favorite Led Zeppelin song, between the story and that groove in the middle.
This was definitely one of the biggest hits off the album, but the one that got the most playtime was "All of My Love" the tribute song Robert wrote about the death of his son and how it affected the life of his parents afterward. JPJ really stepped-up writing and arranging this album, but the band showed how good they could still be in spite of the many directions they were being pulled during the time. I can only imagine how wonderful it might have been, even if they just wrote and produced music going forward and never, or just sparingly toured! The Stones, The Who, Floyd, even Sabbath, had decades to change and adapt and build a resume. These guys sadly ended up having to cram it all in
Minor correction, and it's an error I used to make all the time, the song's title is "All My Love".
Thanks, you're correct!@@sebastianblack6506
Led Zeppelin four Virtuosos, They are the greatest band of all time. Zeppelin FOREVER!!!🥁☮☘
You guys should do CODA as well. There’s some really good stuff on there. There’s a second version from a live take of I Cant Quit You Baby that’s super hard and gritty. It’s also one of my favorite Bonham tracks. Plus you NEED to do Traveling Riverside Blues. Such a great groove.
So pleased you guys really enjoyed my SECOND favourite track from this album.
You ain't heard "I'm Gonna Crawl" yet!
Totally agree talk about an underrated song “im gonna crawl” so underrated. Zep goes out where they started for last song on last studio album.
I'm gonna crawl is such a great song, agree 100%, it doesn't get the love it deserves
Love that song
A perfect song to end the album
Another fantastic song...I'm Gonna Crawl!
After more than a decade recording they still had something in the tank.
And that something was fucking incredible
Well hot dog! That samba mid section is just some next level stuff. It’s amazing all the musical styles that Zeppelin touches on. When you’re finished with this album you should definitely do Coda too.
One of their best songs, possibly in my top 5, definitely top 10. The samba groove there was inspired by the music at the 1978 World Cup.
Been waiting for you gents to get to this one. Drum heaven!
This has got to be one of my favorite Zep tunes! What a rhythm….Bonzo at his best, joined by Mr Plant, Page and Jones adding their special touches. Glad you brothers liked it! Your reaction was priceless! Thank you for this midweek pick-me-up!
These 2 guys are my new Favorite REACTORS. They are spot on, and are listening to every molecule. Great fun 🎵🎵🎵 all around for us and them.
Carnival TIme!! Bonzo hittin the Purdy style shuffle and changing it over to Samba - the man could play ANYTHING!
This is a Samba beat that inspired them when they watched world cup matches in 1978 (Argentina) ... just another genre for them to explore!!! I did warn you after "In the Evening" that this one was gonna slay you ... Makes my top 10 all time LZ play list!
The middle part of it was Samba but most of the rhythm of the song was Reggae based in my honest opinion.....
Bass player here, and it is always so damn nice to see JPJ getting some love, so thank y'all for that. The man was, and still is, an absolute monster player.
Watching you guys listen to this song put a big smile on my face. I was 17 when it was released. Led Zeppelin versatility at its finest.
One of my favorites of theirs simply due to Bonham's shuffle/swing. And JPJ is simply a damn genius, I'm glad you guys give him his props. He's vastly underrated it seems to me.
A variation of the Purdy shuffle more left hand ghost notes are played in 6/8 time giving it a swing beat feel… Purdy played drums for Steely Dan in the song Black cow
☮️❤️🙏🌍🌏🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️
The lyrics he supposed to meet a girl on a particular corner and it’s raining now and he’s waiting on the wrong corner and now all the questions in his mind that are going through because he thinks he’s in the right place…..
JV/varsity this was the song that got me psyched for home football games… ☮️❤️🙏
JB playing the whistle during his solo…amazing.
Great reaction Chi and La there is a reason why the Zeppelin machine is considered one of the greatest bands of all time. Bonzo what can you say about one of the Goats. Love your reaction gentlemen keep on doing what you’re doing love it…
This is my all-time favorite by them. Such fire!!!!
Heard it thousands of times and never gets old. You two help refresh and make me listen even more closely and it puts a new perspective on it. Thanks and I LOVE this tune
I lived with my grandmother for a couple of years when I was going to college. She was born like 1907. She loved the hell out of Bonham's drumming when I would crank it on the house.
I love that you know JPJ. No question He was vital.
Amazing how led zep songs take you back to early 70's and remember when n where you first heard in a vivid mental recall like it was yesterday
When I want "f*** yeah!" Led Zeppelin, I play albums I-IV, but when I want feel good Led Zeppelin, I play songs like this. This song in particular just makes you feel good, gets your body moving and puts you in a good mood. Zep's last two albums are criminally underrated, and this song is probably my favourite off this, their last album. Great stuff.
Criminally underated. That is such a massively true statement!
One of my favorite reactions by you guys. The whole song is great, but I've been in love with the drum track on this song for many decades! Bonham was all over it.
I know a lot of Led Zeppelin.... But for some reason.... I know all the words to this song, and it's probably my all-time favorite from them.....I don't know why..😁
Nice lil shuffle 👌
Plant's clean , pure voice .Great album .The best of the best , L/Zep.
Really enjoy you guys..
Zeppelin is definitely Heavyweight Champs of Rock and Roll
Fool in the Rain used one of Zeppelin's favored arrangements. A riff you cannot ignore, an interlude and a return to the riff to see the song out. This song, like Dazed and Confused and In My Time of Dying, returned to the riff from the band playing at 100mph, making the transition all the more spectacular as the tempo slowed dramatically. The other recurring Zeppelin style is the song that continues to evolve, most famously Stairway to Heaven. Others are more subtle, with simply the addition of more instruments. The reason people keep coming back to listen to Zeppelin songs is anticipation. You are waiting to to hear that transition, that solo, that piano, that extra guitar, that tiny flaw in the recording. This is what you get when you have great musicians who understand production.
One of my favorites. Love everything about it.
Bonham's playing here ( also Poccaro Rosanna) was inspired, by legendary drummer Bernard Purdie's
playing on Steely Dan's " Home at Last " later known as the " Purdie Shuffle.
Bernard played on hundreds of albums.
That's the potatoes! The Meat is coming up soon! Carouselambra and I'm Gonna Crawl
Bonham !!!! I love all Zeppelin but there has always been a special place in my heart for this one!!!
Keep playing this one back, so nice to share and appreciate such solid musicianship with other people. Always keen to hear both your opinions, you are fast becoming Zep obsessives like the rest of us Zep heads 😂
SO MANY SMILES ON MY FACE IN THIS ONE!! Your FACIALS in this one: I DUG IT!!! Should-a seen OUR faces when this came out on the radio!! OMG!!! UNMATCHED!! They ALL tore this one UP!!! SO, SO, SO GOOOOOOD!!!! Such a GREAT GROOVE with a latin / island vibe....LOVE IT!!! HUGS, GUYS!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine having the depth of musical ability to create, yeah sometimes pinch, such a varied catalogue of music that has such popular appeal yet still remain cutting edge, truly outstanding. So many thanks to that little island in the North Atlantic that has given so much to music.
