When I was in my teens (mid to late 70's)and had this album (playing it too loud down in the basement), this song was on. I stepped out of the family room to run up and grab something to drink or something, and caught my Mom (who was loading the washing machine) dancing to this song as she sorted through the clothes. I thought that was pretty cool. My Mom was born in 1917. She was a cool lady though and never had a problem with my Rock & Roll inclinations.
Actually Jimmy remastered them...literally just cleans up back ground noise from long ago technology! Literally...every day I wake up and look for your Zeppelin video...before I even get out of bed!!
You did your homework well! That's exactly the way you pronounce it. Having lived this record release at the time, this track was hugely popular in the mainstream, and made Led Zeppelin fans out of many people that didn't listen to them before. Clearly Zep was having fun, and being playful..... stretching their wings a little.
The remastering was done by Jimmy Page. The difference between the 2 albums is that 'Mothership' is not an original album but a compilation album of their 'best songs'. Though how anyone can choose best LZ songs I don't know. It has to be very subjective. The story in D'yer Mak'er follows the story in the joke. The guy is lamenting the leaving of his love and wondering why she has to go. He tries to persuade her not to go.
Yes even Reggae...lol! Yep the title...hilarious! How can you not like ANY Zeppelin tune? You will love the next 2 songs!! No Quarter is way different!!
Kudos on doing your homework for the pronunciation. This song got a ton of air play it’s just damn fun!!! Yes 🔥 you heard it right!!! Critics wrong again!!! As far as what else can they do…..oh just you wait!!!
no quarter is another 1 you really should do studio then live. the live version from msg 73 is 1 of jimmies best ever solos imo and thats a fucking high bar!!!! heres a link you should use for no quarter, there are other links with chopped up audio so you need to be careful th-cam.com/video/MnUbYyOc9JA/w-d-xo.html
You said something very insightful! Expectations play a huge part in people’s reception of something. I’ll tell you a story: We went to the drive in theater one night and the second feature was Battleship. That’s right, Battleship. The feature film based on the board game. Remember it? No. Well I had zero expectations for that movie and it met all of them. I enjoyed that movie more than The Guardians Of Whichever Volume was the first movie. If you listen with an open mind you will enjoy Physical Graffiti. The next album has an homage to Stevie Wonder, middle eastern influence, more acoustic folk, heavy blues, hard rock, very experimental stuff-and yes, Led Zeppelin’s disco song.
:) Like most artists.......Led Zeppelin wanted to branch out into other genres like Reggae and Funk Blues and Jazz........and put their uniqueness into those songs of that genre. I have the vinyl to this album...and yes The Crunge is my fav along with The Rain Song.😁
Sal, depending on your level of interest, there is a musician who is doing deep reviews of all the Zep albums. Not playing any tracks, but talking about the songs. Excellent. He just released his review of Physical Graffiti and you might be interested in watching it before you dive in to that album, as I know you like to do a little research. He has also done the first five albums as well. You might be interested in his take on Houses of the Holy. Here’s the link th-cam.com/video/asRxFxUsswE/w-d-xo.html
I think part of the issue back when this album was released was that American fans especially weren’t in on the joke. This was Zeppelin being playful and that’s not what most casual fans were looking for from their rock gods. I think many thought this song was “beneath them”. It’s them having a bit of a lark in the studio….many fans wanted them always to remain on Mt Olympus, as rock “gods” should.
Page usually remasters tracks to improve the sound quality as technology improves. The original cds of most Zep tunes are really low In Volume for one. I know when I was young the big hits off this album were this and The Ocean. Physical is so different than any album you have heard yet. Sort of funky, grundgy bluesy. And even folksy at times. Pages guitar is often dirty and or "Bendy and windy" sounding at times. Plants voice often has a rasp to it that just makes it sound more interesting. But many feel Bonham's drumming steals the show. Many people that are not just casual Zep fans feel this is their best albaum. I say casual because many of the songs grow on you the more you hear them.The first album to me is one masterpiece after another. The first two songs less so because of how good the others are in comparison. Oh, listen to the words on Custard Pie. This might be the dirtiest song they ever made if your paying attention to the lyrics.
Take a great rock band who are (like everyone else at the time) listening to reggae, mix with a love for 50's rock (oh uh uh oh oh) stir in a wacky British sense of humor bake in the studio and there you have it. Some of these 'off the wall' pieces take the heaviness out of Zeppelin who never were a heavy metal band!
Peter Grant, wouldn’t let American critics Rolling Stone critics & producers let alone any critics interfere in the creativity of Led Zeppelin..the critic‘s were a bit upset.. they wouldn’t make any singles and couldn’t control the band how long the music should and shouldn’t last very smart of the late Peter Grant & Led Zeppelin
Stop reading crap about L.Z. even though that guy had it right. Did you make her...is correct! Not my favorite JPJ. Still better then the best of other bands. The GOATS😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was a gigantic radio hit. Led Zeppelin was untouchable in those days.
I have to agree with James Hetfield that Zep is the greatest rock band of all time. So eclectic with a huge catalogue of great songs.

Led Zeppelin album releases were like a box of chocolates, you never knew what you were going to get.
the louder you play it the more incredible bonham sounds
I still hear this song almost every day on classic Rock radio. I'd say it is one on the most radio-played LZ song of all time.
The whole band kills it in this song
Actually Jimmy remastered them...literally just cleans up back ground noise from long ago technology! Literally...every day I wake up and look for your Zeppelin video...before I even get out of bed!!
God morning my fellow Zep head ❤
Zep was saying don't take everything so bloody seriously! :-)
The way Plant emotes his voice is what set him apart, back in the say...especially on this track!
The critics are always wrong.
You did your homework well! That's exactly the way you pronounce it. Having lived this record release at the time, this track was hugely popular in the mainstream, and made Led Zeppelin fans out of many people that didn't listen to them before.

This is probably Zeppelin’s most diverse album.
Always loved this song. Got my reggae on.
Glad you're enjoying the journey! Never apologize for doing long intros, true Zeppelin fans appreciate any info and reactions from new fans.

When you started singing to it you cracked me up Salvo🤣👏🏻
I loved the track when it came out. I loved all the tracks on this album and still do.
Yes even Reggae...lol! Yep the title...hilarious! How can you not like ANY Zeppelin tune? You will love the next 2 songs!! No Quarter is way different!!
Each song on each album was apart of a story /theme that the band wanted to tell at the time
Love all Zep songs!!!! Always loved this song as a kid especially, also Sheryl Crow does a great cover of this on Encomium (Zep tribute)🤟❤🤟
What else could they do? BWAHAHA! Among many others, one of the most majestic rock anthems ever written snd one of the best blues/rock songs ever.
Shout out to you for appreciating The Crunge!
I know all the Led Zeppelin songs and you are still in for a ride! They are incredibly versatile and you will see by the next song
This song always reminded me of the 50’s, with it’s melodies. Love this song.
What else can they do on the next album??? Only the 2 best LZ songs of all time! One of them an 11-minute epic based on an old gospel song.
My daily dose of Salvo and Zep. Always a great start to the day. God Bless my friends.
trust me...no one didn't love love love this zero people...instant garage dance staple...world wide... even in Jamaica!
The critics might not have liked it, but we did. It got played, and no one ever complained. We all danced.
Remastering was usually done to recover the vinyl sound on digital disks. Straight transfer to CD lost a lot.

the next album is very diverse and VERY powerful

JPJ mightn't have liked the song, but his Base sounds fantastic.
I remember dropping a dime or two at the local sub shop in the seventies to hear this while playing pinball waiting for our order.
Thanks for being one of the few Yanks to correctly pronounce it Jamaica. Glad you liked it.
For some reason the music of this song makes me think of that tv series, dukes of hazzard back in the 70's
Thx again bro. Loving your videos!!
This is the first song I learned to play on the drums
I forget who but this song was recently covered... well in the last few years.
Variety is the spice of life they say.
:) Like most artists.......Led Zeppelin wanted to branch out into other genres like Reggae and Funk Blues and Jazz........and put their uniqueness into those songs of that genre. I have the vinyl to this album...and yes The Crunge is my fav along with The Rain Song.😁
*Morning Bro* ! You see, this album is full of surprises.! Pronunciation correct.!
This song got a lot of airplay for a while. ✌️
No quarter is in my top ten. The guitar solo from MSG is breathtaking
Great song!
Great song
bonham is a MONSTER on this!
Woman love this song !

It got a lot of airplay back in the day

After Bonham died plant recoeded "Honey Drippers" LP that this could have fitted onto, and mre recently Band o golf Joy.
Alto tema amigoo

Bonham was tongue in cheek with his drumming approach. He hated raggae music. So he went bombastic on it. This was Plants thing.
they could do everything
Jamaica
Peter Grant, wouldn’t let American critics Rolling Stone critics & producers let alone any critics interfere in the creativity of Led Zeppelin..the critic‘s were a bit upset.. they wouldn’t make any singles and couldn’t control the band how long the music should and shouldn’t last very smart of the late Peter Grant & Led Zeppelin
The Rover.
D’yer Mak’er?..No it was on her own accord..lol
The humor in the title was lost because most radio DJs called it Dire Maker…
Bonham as well as Jones wasn't keen on this track either, it's certainly different but that's what this albums about....
As Reggae as Zep gets.
its pronounced jamaica
I’ve been saying DyerMaker for 30yrs so I’m sorry 😣
Stop reading crap about L.Z. even though that guy had it right. Did you make her...is correct! Not my favorite JPJ. Still better then the best of other bands. The GOATS😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
farking critics.
Remastering is a big JOKE! Nonsense!
