what’s your favorite st*irway song? comment below!
My fave Stairway song is "Halfway Down The Stairs" by Robin The Frog. Here it is 🤗
th-cam.com/video/504nGuw-BCQ/w-d-xo.html
my favorite st*irway song,is probably I Me Mine by The Beetles :))
Hairway to Steven
Stairway To The Stars by Blue Oyster Cult.
Mine is the OG. When Heart sang it at the Kennedy center I believe honoring Led Zeppelin. Jon Bonhams son playing drums. Jack Black had the best intro. You can watch it on TH-cam
Because Stairway is amazing!
I used to joke that Stairway to Heaven was like Gilligan’s Island, there’s probably not a minute of the day it’s not playing somewhere in the world
Do you know there was a parody recording of Stairway with Gilligan's Island lyrics?
Yep, Stairway to Gilligan’s Island, they used to play it on Dr Demento
@@konowd Yep, I used to listen to Dr. Demento.
There’s a reason why that song was played…. It a masterpiece.
Overblown nonsense
I’m glad they finally found the identity of the man in the photo. His name is Lot Long he is from a small town in England and the photo it’s self was taken in 1892
An album with no name, no singles, and still found the way to be part of rock history. I have to admit that even though it is the most cliche song, I absolutely love stairway to heaven.
That's what I wassayin . It's a bitchin track fellas. If they wanted to attack popularity they dropped the ball real bad
What do you mean, "no singles"? Its single "Black Dog" was Top 40 in nine countries. Its "Rock and Roll" single charted in four countries. I think "Stairway To Heaven" is great, too. Have a nice day. :-)
@@bobdavis4848 sorry about that, I think the ideas just crossed my mind, I was thinking about Stairway to heaven was not a single and ended up writing no singles hehe
@@rodrilefou2091 I understand; that's OK, thanks for explaining. :-) I was hoping the "what do you mean" didn't sound rude. There was just a promotional only single of "Stairway To Heaven" but sent to DJs, not in a store's single section, so it doesn't really count.
@@bobdavis4848 hehe don't worry it wasn't rude, I did not know about the promotional single of Stairway to heaven.
The album that sums up Led Zeppelin: dark, cryptic and mysterious.
1971 was an epic year for classic LPs. Sticky Fingers. Imagine, Hunky Dory, Who's Next, this masterpiece, among others. It doesn't get any better. You have great taste!
LA Woman, as well. 😃
Yes 1971 was packed with. Fragile Nuersery Cryme Electeic Warrior Master Of Reality Humble Pie Performance
And don't forget ELP's "Tarkus" & PF's "Meddle".
@@ericrobson4291 Yeah, thank you! JT's "Aqualung", lyrically sometimes shallow, musically is another masterpiece of that brilliant year.
@@ericrobson4291 This 2 albums - still to explore for me. Thank you for mentioning them, i didn't listen a lot of Alice Cooper so far!
Led Zeppelin literally changed the course of music ! I was 15 when i bought Zep 1 in 68 and when i first heard Battle of Evermore it was so beautiful i instantly became a Sandy Denny devotee !
Did they roll it out early in some places? In most places Zeppelin 1 came out in '69, if you've got an early one that might be worth a pile of money these days!
@@SonofSethoitae Some of the U.S. radio stations and record stores had it by December '68, one of the reasons why the Boston Tea Party gig that month was packed out. Ironically, the U.K. was one of the last places to get a release. If you've got a copy with "Led Zeppelin" in blue on the sleeve instead of orange, that's worth something like $300. It took some time to come out because it was recorded before they'd signed a deal, the recording was paid for by Page himself. This was one of the things that gave them the confidence to release the fourth album without their name on it or even a title.
The first time I heard "the song", (yes, I'm that old) is when I bought the album and brought it home. FM radio was just coming of age when IV was released. 'Rock and Roll' was probably the only track most of us heard on the radio, until the mid to late 70's, when AOR became the thing. Yea, after that, "the song" got played to death.
Very "Going To California," "Misty Mountain Hop" outfit. Flowers in their hair and all. Wow, you do your research.
But it's not just your research but your insights.
This is my favorite Zeppelin album. I know it may be a kind of lame choice, as this album is so iconic and quite overplayed, but to me it still represents all i love about Led Zeppelin best.
Some albums sell through the roof and achieve "classic" status because of sales and hype while others do the same simply because of their high quality, and Zeppelin IV is definitely because of the latter.
"BLACK DOG" Babe!! "Who doesn't like the Black Dog riff"!! LOL!!
'corse you knocked it out of the park with that outfit...but where is your magic wand!! Silly girl!!!! LOL!!
Bare shoulders … oh, please. I once heard Plant introduce Black Dog as ‘Black Bob’ (a fictitious dog in a comic strip …)
First, thank you for this video. Great review!
Second, I love Led Zeppelin. LZIV is fantastic! There is no weak song on it. STH is, IMHO, a masterpiece. When that album came out, no one could get enough of the entire album in general and of STH in particular.
I remember the first time I ever heard the album. My friend played it on his very-high-quality stereo while a whole roomful of us sat and listened in awe. (His parents were rich; his system cost just over $4,000.00---a month before LZIV came out. That would be about $30,000.00 today. I, OTOH, was lucky to afford food, clothing, and shelter.)
When I sit and listen to LZIV, I am transported back to the days of my youth. I am nineteen again, and LZ is rocking the whole world. Oh, to live just one more day in the early Seventies!
i love stories like these. for a long time you just didn’t get together with friends to all listen to an album together (but album release parties are coming back!)
“That Song” got over-played for a reason. I submit that, even though we might see it as chichéd, if it comes on the radio it’s one of those songs that gets left on till it’s finished…
As is with so many middle boomers, Led Zeppelin was and still is, to those who never grew up, so very very meaningful. It was perfect music to escape to far off places in our heads with, no hallucinogens or stimulants needed. They never let me down.
psychedelics do help though ;)
I’m 53, I didn’t care if I heard certain bands ever again having played them to death. Led Zeppelin being one. After your analysis I’m breaking them out again. Great review.
I am that age exactly and Led Zeppelin is somehow the only band I never get tired of, I can listen any time anywhere
Misty Mountain Hop for me. My favorite from this album.
'The Battle Of Evermore'. I have this sailboat that I built from aircraft lumber. I saved the wood, and materialsI in my apartment in Downtown Houston; ( that took 3 1/2 years). Then I lived on it for 9 1/2 years, in Key West. The name of the boat is: "Easting". Lyrics from that song. It's still central to my life. Pretty much one of the few things that I care about.
1. Love your college borne communications skills. Grammer, enunciation and presentation is top notch.
2. Your musings are based in an understanding of music i've not seen in a child your age.
3. You, with a personality of maturity, mixed with a curiousity that can only be attributed to small humans. Innocent yet honest.
4. Overall, as a album reviewer, (i've seen tons), you're a ten out of ten. Not to mention a natural beauty that leads me to listen and watch that much closer.
5. Sadly im old enough to be your grandpa lol, which allows me to step back and warmly; fondly and respectfully tell you, good job kiddo. Keep it up.
The big song for me on this one is When The Levee Breaks, mainly cause of Bonham's drums. I like Four Sticks a lot too, it helps it's not overplayed and Battle of Evermore cause of the great guest vocal from Sandy Denny.
Jimmy Page was meticulous in strategically placing the microphones for John Bonham in the stairway at the (allegedly haunted Grange) for ‘Levee’ … the result speaks for itself.
I love this video. You look like a cross between Stevie Nicks and Samdy Denny. You are so cool!
So I used to live in Reading home to very famous Reading festival that Led Zeppelin played at. I now live just outside. Anyway story has it that Robert Plant bought the painting on the cover in an antique shop in Reading. Jimmy Page also used to live in a village called Pangbourne that is just outside Reading. I pass his old house quite regularly.
In the summer of 1972 when I was fifteen four friends and I got arrested for smoking weed in the woods at a baseball game. I was searched and the cops didn't find any weed on me because I had tossed it away after I hit the ground when the officers told us to at gunpoint. One friend ran back into the woods and got away so there had originally been six of us... three boys and three girls. When they searched my pockets, the only other thing I had with me was a piece of paper with the lyrics and chords to... a song. They had no idea what to make of it but they took it to mean I was on drugs. That's what the night sergeant asked me. He was sincerely concerned because his wife worked for my father. I said, "Do you mean am I high right now? Because after having a gun pointed at my head, no, I'm not." He said good and told me he never wanted to see me there again and let us all go free. None of us ever spoke a word about it until years later, I was home visiting my parents and their guests for dinner were to be my dad's office manager and her husband. I told my parents I would cook dinner. I made a great dinner for five--I think it was brisket--and when we sat down at the table, I said, "I have a story I want to tell." And I spilled all the beans, only I didn't reveal who I was with. That would have been even more shocking because let's just say I didn't have any track record as a ladies' man. I was as geeky a kid as you ever saw. My mom said she remembered that night when I came home and went straight up to my room and didn't come out until the next morning. She just thought I was drunk. The sergeant's wife turned to her husband with fire in her eyes and said, "You never told me about this!" He just smiled, sat back in his chair, and said, "He's a good kid." At my 40th high school reunion, one of the girls brought it up and then everybody knew what had happened more than 40 years before. Many were shocked, not that I had weed, but that I was smoking in the woods with three "good" girls. That's my Stairway story and I'm sticking to it. LOL
Going to California is for me the prettiest song Led Zeppelin has done.
Rock and Roll is a perfect diss for the critics
You look GORGEOUS in your beautiful outfit & flowers! Wadda Flower Power KNOCKOUT!
My fav zepplin song is MobyDick, which shows how great of a drummer John Bonham was
"If there a bussel in your hedgdrow, don't be alarmed." Great lyrics.
Bustle … 🧔🏼♂️
@@LANCSKID I was going to correct as well...good eye!
Favorite tune Sandy Denny singing with Robert on 'The Battle of Evermore'
Best all time Led Zeppelin ever recorded
That shot of you that uses the hair light is very angelic.
The best Led Zeppelin album for me.
This album is one of my all-time favorites.
I love sandy Dennys story.. cool lady.. my favorite led zeppelin is in through the outdoor by far however
Totally dig the outfit; as always 🔥!
Up to number 4, and a little bit of physical Graffiti that’s all you need. A bit of Kashmir is the best goof night song
hey HOTH is a great album! over the hills/no quarter/the ocean are largely spared from the classic rock radio circuit, all great tunes
Given Robert Plant's outspoken disdain for Stairway to Heaven, I have a feeling those weren't tears of joy when Heart played it at the Kennedy Center
Loving all your videos, by the way. "Led Zeppelin IV" is a mighty fine album, indeed. Rest in peace John Bonham & Sandy Denny.
Enjoyed the analysis. I always find the cover art so enigmatic: the portrait of the reclusive hermit gathering sticks in the countryside; the decaying, derelict house walls; the overgrown suburb beyond, and the streamlined monolithic high-rise on the back. Seems to be a lament that all things are slowly passing into history? I'm still not sure. Cheers from London!

This was not only one of the best Led IV reviews, but was one of the best When the Levee Breaks review i've heard
Levee is my favorite song of all time, and i never get sick of either listening to the song or watching people talking about it
And your review was freaking amazing
Amazing channel and work
This was my "gateway drug" to Zeppelin: specifically Misty Mountain Hop. When I first heard that one, it blew my fucking head off!. Check again: I believe that Memphis Minnie-who did the original version-gets a writing credit on Levee Breaks. The drum sound on that number was Bonzo playing in the foyer of Headley Grange with 2 mic's above him.
I also heard that JPJ pinched a musical idea for Black Dog from the Electric Mud album by Muddy Waters.
The painting on the cover of Led Zeppelin four is a painting of an old black and white picture of a "victorian Wiltshire thatcher"
The gentleman was collecting sticks for a roof
This album was of course never titled Led Zeppelin Four. It may just be an industry/media rumour that the ‘unofficial’ name was ‘Four Runes’ (although if you count the late, lamented Sandy Denny it is five). As an album it is a masterpiece even if STH is overplayed and overhyped. ‘Levee’ is just unbelievable. This album is Zeppelin reaching full maturity and showing just what they were capable of. I think you did the ‘4’ album and the band full justice, Abigail in your as usual engaging way. One other note regarding ‘that’ song, is that allegedly you will be immediately stopped by music stores’ staff if you play so much as a note for a guitar try out (urban myth?). Love you, keep up the great work … Vinyl lives! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
There definitely used to be signs up in British music shops that said “No Playing Smoke on the Water”…
Hi Abby.Thanks for another brilliant review of a very good album although I do prefer Physical Graffiti.BTW if you open the gate fold cover and look at the front it makes more sense.
Please keep up the good work.
I struggle with IV nowadays. The hits are so played out for me. But the Battle of Evermore.....oh that song. Reminds me of my summer in the valleys and peaks of the Cape Breton highlands. There is magic there in the land of fairies.....the Angels of Avalon.
These kind of memories will always never fade, and thats what marks an album like this truly great.....despite Rock'nRoll and Black Dog.
places like that are where the veil between us and whatever else is out there is a little thinner. sounds perfect for evermore
The mysterious ring of light, portal to the Timeway of the lost Chevy van.
There were times in the eighties and early nineties when if you were listening to fm radio you would here Stairway three or four times a day. I remember a particular day when it came on, I immediately flipped the station, and sure as shit they were playing it too. Madness.
Greatest rock album ever, IMHO. Some songs are virtually cinematic in scope, like When the Levee Breaks. That blues interpretation is epic.
Funniest thing I ever saw. In Adelaide (where I'm from) there was this music shop with a downstairs section that sold musical instruments, especially guitars. Over the doorway was a sign: ''Anyone playing Stairway To Heaven or Smoke On The Water will be immediately shown the door''.
You're so blonde (on blonde). Hi @bbygirl. Hi. Hats Off To Roy Harper is simply marvelous.
Zep IV is fab. Good review. In 1991 (or was it 94) I boght a CD wot is called 'Stairways To Heaven' which was a bunch if tribute acts covering the song. B52s tribute, Beatles tribute, Doors tribute. Very quirky.
My comment isn't as involved as I'm recording new music of my own. I'm distracted.
Visions of Johanna.
I think my favorite is When The Levee Breaks. It may not be the best song, but it really ends the album well. You did another great review, and your look is awesome! I believe this album is their biggest seller. It failed to hit the summit of the charts because Carole King was simply on fire with Tapestry, but it has become an enduring seller. The album is five stars out of five.
When I first heard Zeppelin, I thought it sounded like noise. It wasn't until a couple years later, that I suddenly could hear all the notes. Certain substances may or may not have been involved. Before, I thought hard rock/metal banks were just hitting random notes really fast. Which, admittedly, some do. But not Page or Hendrix. I was like, ooooh sh-----
Have a couple US pressings one is a white label promo. Love When the Levee Breaks. Got into 78 collecting and have the Memphis Minnie Kansas Joe on Columbia. Stones, Zep, Cream etc. etc. got me into 78 collecting. Charley Patton, Robert Johnson, Barbecue Bob, Blind Gary Davis etc. Your videos are great and I love the attention to detail.
Groovy
This unassailable classic is Led Zeppelin's masterpiece. All their other albums contain fine, memorable music, but the untitled LP endures as their single most iconic outing. This album enshrines what may be my single favorite Zeppelin song, "Going to California", and even the overexposed "Stairway to Heaven" endures as a deserved classic, one of the all-time greats in the rock canon. Last but not least, this untitled 1971 beauty has my all-time favorite cover art of any music album.
Congratulations, Abby, on another great, informative analysis. You don't simply offer your opinions, but go into detail about how they formed and why you hold them, demonstrating impressive research combined with considerable eloquence.
Joni M was referenced in interviews with Mr Plant as the "Queen" in "Going to Cali," so I'd say that the tribute to her is definitive... Further, he sez that Zepp's song is also a reference to her then-recently released lp Blue, and especially the Joni track "California"!
The source of your reluctance to spell out the song "Stairway" is understandable (radio overplay is putting it mildly!), but I still love the MSG live version of the anthem with Page's ruthlessly unhinged solo and Plant's elfin hand signaling of the lyrics.
I used to hang out at KTBA FM when I was a teenager - this album had a note on the front ordering DJ's to NOT play this song every time they wanted to but only half that many times.
I couldn't agree more with you on Christgau, I don't believe he even listens to music and instead rates how he felt when he woke up that morning and it seems he woke up in a good mood that day. Anyway, I really love the second side of this album after hearing the first side to death and I think it's the unsung (or unplayed) hero of the album and I particularly love Four Sticks, the VSC3 synthesiser makes that song in my opinion.
I have said it before, and it bears repeating; No matter what you have to say about LZ and especially “THAT SONG”, the fact of the matter is that they’ve been responsible for sooooo many people picking up and learning the guitar, every bit as much as Elvis Presley and The Beatles. And regardless of their mis-steps and such, I’d say that’s quite an accomplishment. And Abigail, once again, BRAVO on your presentation. College instructor-worthy!
I totally agree about Jimmy influencing gtr players. I consider him and the Beatles my guitar teachers. Without a doubt doubt learned the most from them. I’m a drummer first, and Bonzo, was my best drum teacher, along with Ringo. Learned so much from both those bands
The problem with the "The stairway intro was a common progression" is that the structure of the timing and the turnaround is also the same. The pause at the end of the last chord is identical to Taurus, which makes the similarity uncanny. Make of that what you will but there's definitely more to it than just the descending riff.
Great job on this.
I've listened to Stairway thousands of times and nearly every time it gives me goosebumps. It's time to open up the Stairway again people ;-P
I just found out the old man in the picture was a widower, Lot Long, the Wiltshire thatcher @1889
yes that was only just revealed!! HUGE news!
Used to go to renaissance fairs.....hippy heaven...ha ha
Abbey ..U Rock !!! 🌠🌌🪐
We back in the day use to call it the Zoso album.
The runes album/
The very first album i ever bought with my own money! I was a freshman high school student in an all boys catholic school in Manila where everything seemed to rock insofar as music was cocerned. Led Zeppelin was (and still is) my favorite band, and Led Zep 4 was my favorite Led Zeppelin album for as long as i can remember. Not long after when i started buying all of their records, i suddenly replaced Led Zeppelin 4 with Zeppelin 2 as my favorite record by the band. I was already in college when i started to really appreciate John Paul Jones as a musician and how he partnered with John Bonham to create what was in my opinion, the best kiss-ass rhythm section the rock genre has ever produced! Needless to say, Led Zeppelin 4 has become my second favorite Led Zep album next to Led Zeppelin 2 (a close second at that) with Physical Graffitti at the third spot. Thank You for including Led Zeppelin in your vinyl collection. Your program is very informative and entertaining and you are so pretty and intelligent and fun to watch. You remind me of a young and better (more intelligent) version of Goldie Hawn. Peace and Love be with you always! 😊
I used to have a copy I bought when I lived in South Africa in 82 and it had a really different album sleeve when you opened it up it had the lyrics for Stairway To Heaven in big print. I wish I'd kept it now.
One of your best ever episodes of Vinyl Monday. It helps of course when I'm actually into the album. I always have to watch twice because I never hear anything the first time.
Indeed indeed, very good to know there's such thing as well-read nexgens. She knows every history-book tidbit, info-dragon
Like you, I like Stairway, but 50 years of rock radio have numbed me a little bit, except for Page’s solo. My favorites are Misty Mountain Hop and Going to California. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at the cover of Misty Mountain Hop by 4 Non Blondes and tell me what you think.
Led Zep IV still lives up to its legend.....and to be fair, it isn't LZ's fault The Song That Shall Not Be Named was played to death over the past few decades. But, even still.....it's not the best song on the album. Never was. And that's not meant as an insult. Going to California, The Battle of Evermore and When the Levee Breaks are much better.
Great video once again!
Great outfit!!! My fave Is the Battle of Evermore. Plant and Allison Krause do a very beautiful version nowadays
YES ACHILLES LAST STAND!!! Thank you so much for 'justice for Presence' my very favorite Zep album ever! Idk why people don't talk about it it's really SOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! 😍🤩
Also yes to how overplayed That Song is, I've been hearing it ever since it came out when i was...4 years old. I mean yeh it's a 'good song' it's really well composed and all, but Im SO sick of hearing I have always forbidden anyone from playing it on any of my guitars. Iron Man, Smoke on the Water, the first 5 notes of Roundabout, sure go ahead i play them too. I've even learned to play sth in part. But NEVER play it on my guitars or you will be cursed and your fingers will turn into non-magic toadstools. Thanks for saying it.
Not a bad song on this record...
Agreed, "Stairway To Heaven" has been played to death. Still a great song, though. 😊😊
Another great video. I've never been a big Zep fan, but I did get this LP years ago so that if someone came over and asked to hear them, I'd have something to play. Now, I've got all their albums digitally, but that's still the only physical media I own. I'm so not into Zeppelin that my favorite tracks are still "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll."
But I think I can answer your question as to why "Stairway" got so much radio play that people thought it must be the greatest song ever recorded. As a radio DJ myself from the late '70s-mid-'80s, that was the #1 song on the DJ bathroom list. If you needed to go and it was going to take longer than a three-minute single (or maybe some of them wanted to smoke a joint or have sex), you put on "Stairway to Heaven" and slipped out of the studio. It had various "movements" (sorry!), so it didn't get too annoying to play it very often, unlike the Beatles' "Hey Jude," which was the #2 (sorry again!) bathroom song. So my theory is that it became so iconic because it was #1 on radio's literal s**t list.
As for Zeppelin claiming authorship of other people's old blues songs, they reminded me of the Kingston Trio, who openly joked on one live LP about traveling around "with our portable copyright machine."
BTW, couldn't agree more on Christgau, who also never got the greatness of the Kinks.
i've heard that from more than one former DJ here, that's the beauty of the comments section! but your account will by far be the most memorable for "radio's literal s**t list," that gave me a good laugh. i'm opening up the convo for zeppelin and the blues in the LZI video soon. i'm both excited and terrified.
Great video I love the part when you accidentally show led Zeppelin 4 on you wish you were here video that made my day lol 😂
hey sh(beach boys sample)t happens! good eye for catching that. i film b-roll last so by then i just have NO brain cells left
@@abigaildevoe lol
Jimmy didn't design the "Zoso" symbol himself, he pulled it from a pool of occult symbols for Saturn. There are a few places he could have gotten it, but the most likely source that I can find is _The Grand Grimoire/The Red Dragon_ (ostensibly from 1521 but probably written some time in the 19th century), where the symbol appear more or less as it does on the record.
He's always been cagey about why he chose it, but Saturn is associated with Capricorn, Jimmy's sun sign, and was also associated with the paradisical Golden Age in Roman mythology (see for example Ovid's _Metamorphoses_ ). The Golden age imagry was something they revisited on Houses of the Holy, so i can believe that had something to do with it here.
Really enjoy your insight. Well done.
This is good❤👌🏾
The Rolling Stones Mobile was set up outside Headley Grange. The band would play in the house with the Rolling Stones mobile truck recording everything.
A really great and informative review. Thanks !!
I never seen or hear a chick have so much insight into Zeppelin/ i also never knew or heard all the stairway sound a likes before, shes also kinda funny.OK 1 more thing to say ZEPPELIN HAS NO FOE! truly un touched the best of the best.
😊Thank you for the massive insight on this most awesome album✨
also, back in the days of "Album Rock" DJs looked for a few "Bathroom Songs" which they could play if they needed to run to the can. Other songs like this were "Working Man" by Rush and "MacArthur Park" by Jimmy Web/Richard Harris. Could've been another reason DJs picked "Stairway."
Another great Vinyl Monday! Your outfit is spot-on totally adorable!❤
Great review as always! Rock N Roll just makes you feel good the drumming intro is perfection! The entire album is a masterpiece
This really was a superb review. I only discovered your channel recently but became a fan immediately. All of your reviews are great. Excellent content, well organized, just the right touch of humor, very professional presentation.
You have been reviewing some absolute classic vinyls of late 👏
Yabbus and them! I enjoy forgetting that they come out at the same day
That old guy on the cover? It's not a painting but a colourized photograph ! Take a closer look, especially the branches on his back. I made a miniature sculpture of it so I've studied it a lot ! 🤟😎
excellent. review. A CLASSIC, NO MORE SAID. one greatest bands ever. legends. kudos to u for nailing it
This album is still so amazing, evn though STH got played to death. (Please cover Presence!)
I just saw this. Very well documented review. I liked it. Very informative and well described.

hello abigal . u look amazinggggg my friend. great review. i like zepplin 4. cannot wait for next monday.
mike
fan and friend
from canada eh
Another amazing album from my favorite rock year, 1971. The Battle Of Evermore is my favorite on this album, very Ethereal, takes me to a completely different world with every listen. The drum sound Bonzo got on When The Levee Breaks is one of the greatest sounds ever.
Misty Mountain is the sleeper loved it from the first time I heard it as a B side ; with that said this lp solidified my love for all things Led! Good job Abby!
Now i'm gonna go and re-listen to this. One of my all time favs and its been a grip since i've done so. Cheers! 🍻
enjoy the re-listen!
The photo is painted over in 19th century style. That photo was around way before I was born, 1953. Awww shit, the net spider...
Fine stuff! I think LZ4 was one of those suitcase records for me. It was already an oldie by the time one of my sisters introduced me to it but once I'd heard it it really put the hook in. As for THAT song, I think playing it would be a good AI/Human differentiation test. I can't imagine anyone not liking it the first time. But yes it wears thin soon. My favourite track is Levee and it joins other epics like Kashmir, Achilles or In the Evening for that extra serve of wow that can take someone indifferent to the band and, if not change their mind, at least open a window. It's hard to know what some of the songs are about which only adds to the mystique which adds to the adventure of listening to it. Of all the bands I cast off with the advent o' punk LZ were one of the first I took up again (after giving away all the US pressed studio albums I'd bought). Thanks for another great ep.
