There is no better musician than John Paul Jones, no better drummer than John Bonham, no better singer than Rober Plant, and no better guitarist than Jimmy Page. Best band ever, never to be equaled.
RUSH is right there with them. But I think Chris Cornell is the best singer ever. Chris was so versatile. I have a separate category for Freddie Mercury; best front man ever.
Now this mah Jam!!! Back in the 70's when this song came out I went to my Black friends and played this song and....they...went...NUTS...I mean absolutely INSANE!!!! Right? It was so FUNKY!!! And the time we were all groovin' to Parliament and The Godfather of Funk, Mr. George Clinton 💙. Right? And then Led Zeppelin put this song out "Trampled Under Foot." We lost our natural minds Brah!!!. And it got played a lot in bars, dance clubs, on the streets, airwaves, etc. Just a Masterpiece song 🎵 Great....great reactions!!!!
@@gylesm8842 Good music was still pumping out when MTV was just music videos. Singing contests on TV and 'reality' shows on MTV later then spread to form American Idol type American Apprentice rot. I do agree when MTV added the ridiculous reality TV shows, ok, then I agree.
There is a video on TH-cam of Trampled underfoot synched up to black and white clips of Buzby Berkeley/ Fred Astaire musicals made by 1970’s U.K. music show The Old Grey Whistle Test. Zep stopped appearing on t.v shows once they were established and didn’t bother with videos. So on its release the BBC needed something to accompany it. It’s wonderful and fits brilliantly.
This song along with the next two, Kashmir and In the Light, are all in my top ten Zeppelin songs. And coming up, The Wanton Song, also in my top ten, along with Ten Years Gone, which would definitely make my top fifteen or twenty.
Achilles Last Stand, Black Dog, Hot Dog, The Rain Song ... You can make endless combinations of Best Zep Songs. And for that day, they are. New lists in the future as your tastes change or evolve. Great bands like Zep have catalogs that you yourself become them as their tastes evolved.
@@Greg-io1ip Yes, my favorite Zepp songs often change every few months. And can someone please give "Hots on for Nowhere" some love? How does that song never get recognized as a very good song is beyond me.
JPJ on the Clavinet and Jimmy’s multiple guitar dubs are standouts, but I’ve never gone to sleep on what Robert and John brought to this one. “A” game all the way makes this one soar….. 🤘😎
They just could do anything. So many days at the river blasting this album good good times!! Thank you again for all you insightful and intellectual reactions. It is good to see their music live on🎼🎸🎶✌️
Really enjoy the live version too. I have heard that live (not sure of the truth of it), JPJ played keyboards with his hands and the bass line with his feet.
I love the little high hat fill Bonham does starting at 6:26 - sort of a call and response with Plant. Such a hard driving beat that no one else could've done it credit. #Bonzo
Look! I’ve been sober for over 20 years now. That said. There is something to be said about going out partying at the club, coming home alone, putting on a set of headphones and listening to Physical Graffiti at 2:30 in the morning, in its entirety
According to Jimmy, they had about an album and half's worth of music for this album so they decided to pull some songs that had been worked on but not released. This song had a working title of "Brandy and Coke" and yes, as you guys (and others) have mentioned, JPJ said he was inspired by Stevie Wonder's Superstition as well as Billy Preston's Outta Sight for this electric clavinet jam. During the solo, he also adds another clavinet track put through a wah low in the mix. Jones plays regular bass on the audio but had to use the bass pedals on the clavinet during live. The lyrics were inspired by Robert Johnson's song Terraplane Blues which compares a hot rod car with a hot woman. It's a tightly performed, heavy rocker that sees Jimmy utilize some studio techniques like the wah-wah to provide a chunky guitar texture, backward echo, panning guitar strafing and reverb. If you are able to do a live performance, look up one from Earls Court in 1975. There's a few on YT and if you're concerned with not being able to use live due to blocking or copyright, there's a live audio remaster called "Trampled Underfoot (Live at Earls Court 5-24-75) - Remaster" by a creator called Led Zeppelin Boots. Similar to when you did The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song, you won't see them play but you'll hear the live performance.
John Paul Jones & John Bonham were a brilliant rhythm section and both loved RnB, this song came from one of their jams - JPJ played keys and the bass pedals
I saw them live in 1976 St. Louis MO...stoned to the bone...a lazer light show that would be considered primitive by today's standards. But, damn....they came out, played for four hours straight, no breaks, no encores...none of that. I was shaking like a leaf in the wind on my way out of the arena...

Zeppelin's early, blues-based compositions evolved into the familiar LZ sound as the band, especially JPJ, were influenced by the musicianship expected of the early 1970s bands and demonstrated by progressive bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, et. al. Led Zeppelin took their massive talents and applied more challenging compositions and arrangements to produce gems like this song. Physical Graffiti may have had a couple throwaways, but when the album was released, Zeppelin once again blew us away with some of their best songs. Thanks for listening to this entire album!
There was a lot of funk/groove influence coming over from America in 1975. They picked up on this and so did The Stones with their Black and Blue album around the same time
Some of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs are off this album: Trampled under foot, Boogie with Stu, Black Country Woman, Houses of the Holy, Ten Years Gone By and Down by the Seaside....this is good stuff right here
I have always LOVED the groove in this song. The keyboard does sound similar to the Clavinette, that Stevie Wonder uses on the song "Superstition". Great song, great solos, solid drums.
Sounds like there are 8 people in the band. 😆 They were just that good. If you have the time, give their performance of this during their '75 Earls Court concert a listen/watch. Excellent! Glad you enjoyed this one. It's one of my favorites. Love the groove.
That opening riff by John Paul gets me every time!! Apparently inspired by the Stevie Wonder song Superstition (both amazing use of the clavinet!). He continues that groove through. Then comes Bonham's driving beats...I still consider these two one of the best rhythm sections in all of rock!! Plant is just wailing away, and Jimmy is being Jimmy. Absolutely LOVE this track!! One of my faves off Physical Graffiti.
Love the dazzling white shirts but you guys look good in whatever you wear and I love the different caps you wear. Great song, love Led Zeppelin of course.
Great reaction guys. I didn't hear the compilation story, I remember in an interview Page being asked why a double album and he said "we just had so much we decided to make it a double album".
Ned from Spain as always down for the Zeppelin and watching you guys groovin with it. This song just moves, seems like it could on forever with Bonham and JPJ on the solid pocket. I agree with Che that Plant's voice sounds a tad rough and kinda tore up but he's still is killing it. The fatigue is understandable as groups back then played almost non stop between the studio and concerts that lasted between 2 to 3 hours. Page adding the phazey backwards guitars as well as the wah wah, JPJ smacking that Clavinet and everybody havin a funky good time !
From what I can tell the tracks recorded at Headly Grange in 1974 are: Side 1 - Custard Pie In My Time of Dying Side 2 - Trampled Under Foot Kashmir Side 3 - In the Light Ten Years Gone Side 4 - The Wanton Song Sick Again
Recorded for “Physical Graffiti” in 1974: In The Light, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, The Wanton Song, Sick Again, Custard Pie, Trampled Underfoot. Recorded prior: Bron-Y-Aur, The Rover (‘70), Night Flight, Boogie With Stu, Down By The Seaside (left off ‘IV’ in ‘71), Black Country Woman, Houses of The Holy (‘73).
I'll be 62 years of age this year and KASHMIR was the most brilliant song ever written to be performed in the history of music and I've endured the greatest of eras in music during my lifetime as there where many greats, but this song is by far the greatest of all time during my 62 years. Led Zeppelin was the GREATEST, HAS BEEN THE GREATEST, AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN ROCK HISTORY and Queen will ALWAYS BE SECOND because of the collective diversity of music they provided their fans.
This song was part of the recording sessions for "Physical Graffiti, but they had been jamming and developing it for a couple years. "Trampled Under Foot" was played at every Led Zeppelin concert following the release of the album.
I believe I read once where this song was inspired by Stevie Wonders superstition. I know I have referenced it before but they do a tremendous uptempo version of this song live at earls court in 1975 with JPJ, Page and Bonham all just killing it simultaneously. Page give a terrific Adlib guitar solo in the middle of it. You could always tell when page was feeling it because he would settle in right in front of Bonzos kick drum. It must have given him all the confidence in the world to just let it rip playing in front of such a powerhouse. Any way thanks for doing the reaction videos. You are probably my favorite reaction channel
After a couple re-listens, I feel like this album is better taken in as a whole. A couple songs stand out on there own, but as a whole album it really is beautiful.
Enjoyed your reaction guys, spot on. I've heard that when they played this live, JPJ was on keyboards but playing bass with his feet! Anyone else, I just wouldn't believe it.
I was waiting for this one. They had no peers. Absolute killer. I am willing to say this side of vinyl with Houses of the Holy, Trampled Underfoot and soon to be reviewed Kashmir is untouchable in rock pantheon.
Page used a lot of really awesome recording techniques and effects that accentuated every song. I don’t think he used a bow since Led Zeppelin 1, but he frequently did a ton of creative work with the wah pedal, echo and delay effects, phasing effects and multi tracking to get the atmospherics he wanted. He was probably the greatest rock guitar composer, producer and studio wizard. Maybe some of the progressive rock guys - Gilmour, Fripp etc - were like that, but Page also rocked.
Page as the most prolific song writer who also played those original guitar riffs he created had an advantage of a wide open landscape. And he landscaped the yard he created full of lush gardens. I'd say a guy like Tom Scholz and Eric Johnson are more accomplished with equipment and technical studio abilities. But Jimmy Page so original so many songs you want to hear. I'm a big Alex Lifeson fan over his creativity and originality. Doesn't get the credit he's due. Same with Tony Iommi. But Jimmy Page has a body of work tough to question. Such a unique band who wouldn't be anything near what they became with any members except the 4 who became Led Zeppelin. They made an amazing team.
As far as Zep studio recordings go, he used the bow on three songs: Dazed and Confused, How Many More Times, and In The Light. Many people think he used the bow on In The Evening, but that is only true in live shows, not on the album.
@@Greg-io1ip I don’t know if Eric Johnson and Tom Scholz are more accomplished than Page in the studio. As great as they are, they really each have only one signature sound. And they came in later than Page using more advanced equipment. Page recorded Zep 1 - the whole album - on an 8 track in 30 hours! And that’s the most vibe-y hard rock record ever. Page had hundreds of ideas for sounds - including drum recording - that he could get in the studio with incredible ingenuity and vision. Credit of course also to JPJ, Glyn Johns, Andy John’s and Eddie Kramer (the greatest hard rock sound engineers of the era), but no one had the breadth of musical vision and competence Page possessed, right through Presence, at least not since Hendrix.
You are literally steamrolled by this tune, them at one of their most relentless paces. Great tune, as are almost the entire album. I can't wait for the Wanton Song and Sick Again, the best tunes for me on side 4, bone crushing Zeppelin Rock. This is a shiny diamond of a catalog, eh? Amazing and enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Each individual in this band is considered in the top best in their instrument (voice is an instrument). Called best rock band. their variety in the music covered all gendres. this is what music is
I had my old band play this. The drummer was twenty some years younger than us and didn't know if the song before he joined us, so when it was time to play it I just told him "the Dinosaur Stomp"
No doubt each member is the best at their discipline. To me JPJ is usually the secret weapon, but I always key on what Page is doing. His guitar fills really make every song.
The lyrics were based on Robert Johnson's 1936 "Terraplane Blues." A Terraplane is a classic car, and the song uses car parts as metaphors for sex: "pump your gas," "rev all night," etc
Haha, yeah, on a bootleg once Robert intro'd it with something like "This next song is supposedly about a motorcar, but it's really...just about ...moving parts!"
No doubt Bonham had a big part of these lyrics relating cars to women. Any backyard old school mechanics will know exactly what I mean. Bonzo loved his cars.
If you listen to "It's A New Day" by James Brown, the intro to Soul Man by Sam & Dave, and Outta Space by Billy Preston, you can hear all of them. Led Zepp did their thing with this one!!!!!!!
The lyrics are hilarious. Obviously Plant is singing about a woman but every line is describing the parts of some kind of classic sports-car metaphorically. Reminds me of "The Lemon Song". They made music that was fun, adventurous, and dangerous.
There is no better musician than John Paul Jones, no better drummer than John Bonham, no better singer than Rober Plant, and no better guitarist than Jimmy Page. Best band ever, never to be equaled.
Two words... Taylor Swift

One of those songs that if you're driving be careful, cause it gonna make you go faster.
The amazing JPJ on the keys...bass with his feet...and an awesome funky song from the greatest band ever!!
I know he did that in concert but surely they could record the bass separatly in the studio?
You ever notice how focused JPJ is on the live one at Earls Court. Not his usual laid back self. He must be playing some hard chit!
Ten years gone is my personal favorite.
It just keeps getting better and better as you go
A masterpiece of an album. Check out
"Ten Years Gone"
They're going through the whole album in order.

One of my absolute favorites. Just a gritty funk masterpiece.
Next one is a MONSTER boys. Strap in.
There is a video on TH-cam of Trampled underfoot synched up to black and white clips of Buzby Berkeley/ Fred Astaire musicals made by 1970’s U.K. music show The Old Grey Whistle Test. Zep stopped appearing on t.v shows once they were established and didn’t bother with videos. So on its release the BBC needed something to accompany it. It’s wonderful and fits brilliantly.
Followed 💜✌️✨
This song along with the next two, Kashmir and In the Light, are all in my top ten Zeppelin songs. And coming up, The Wanton Song, also in my top ten, along with Ten Years Gone, which would definitely make my top fifteen or twenty.
It's funny, almost every one has a top 3 or 4 Zepp songs from this album. But except for Kashmir, they are rarely the same songs. LOL.
Mine would be, In my Time of Dying, Trampled Underfoot and Kashmir. But I also love, The Rover, the Wanton Song and Tens Years Gone a lot as well.

There was a lot of funk/groove influence coming over from America in 1975. They picked up on this and so did The Stones with their Black and Blue album around the same time
A song that steps all over you.

I have always LOVED the groove in this song. The keyboard does sound similar to the Clavinette, that Stevie Wonder uses on the song "Superstition". Great song, great solos, solid drums.

When you guys get to Bron Yr Aur it is the shortest song , you should do Down By The Seaside at the same time. They really go good together.
Great funk/rock fusion track. Love it ❤
After a couple re-listens, I feel like this album is better taken in as a whole. A couple songs stand out on there own, but as a whole album it really is beautiful.
Enjoyed your reaction guys, spot on. I've heard that when they played this live, JPJ was on keyboards but playing bass with his feet! Anyone else, I just wouldn't believe it.
This is probably my favorite album of all-time
Love that beat!!
I was waiting for this one. They had no peers. Absolute killer. I am willing to say this side of vinyl with Houses of the Holy, Trampled Underfoot and soon to be reviewed Kashmir is untouchable in rock pantheon.
This is SUCH a driving-in-the-desert song for me! Love it!
Knew you'd like this one ...what a funky groove!
oh and hey - congrats on 20K subscribers! more to come!
I didn't know this album was a collection of Zep deep tracks. Damnit, grew up before the internet and all ;)
Page used a lot of really awesome recording techniques and effects that accentuated every song. I don’t think he used a bow since Led Zeppelin 1, but he frequently did a ton of creative work with the wah pedal, echo and delay effects, phasing effects and multi tracking to get the atmospherics he wanted. He was probably the greatest rock guitar composer, producer and studio wizard. Maybe some of the progressive rock guys - Gilmour, Fripp etc - were like that, but Page also rocked.
Page as the most prolific song writer who also played those original guitar riffs he created had an advantage of a wide open landscape. And he landscaped the yard he created full of lush gardens. I'd say a guy like Tom Scholz and Eric Johnson are more accomplished with equipment and technical studio abilities. But Jimmy Page so original so many songs you want to hear. I'm a big Alex Lifeson fan over his creativity and originality. Doesn't get the credit he's due. Same with Tony Iommi. But Jimmy Page has a body of work tough to question. Such a unique band who wouldn't be anything near what they became with any members except the 4 who became Led Zeppelin. They made an amazing team.
@@Greg-io1ip I also love all the guys you mentioned.
As far as Zep studio recordings go, he used the bow on three songs: Dazed and Confused, How Many More Times, and In The Light. Many people think he used the bow on In The Evening, but that is only true in live shows, not on the album.
The only other time besides LZ 1 that Jimmy used a bow was the intro to In The Evening.
@@Greg-io1ip I don’t know if Eric Johnson and Tom Scholz are more accomplished than Page in the studio. As great as they are, they really each have only one signature sound. And they came in later than Page using more advanced equipment. Page recorded Zep 1 - the whole album - on an 8 track in 30 hours! And that’s the most vibe-y hard rock record ever. Page had hundreds of ideas for sounds - including drum recording - that he could get in the studio with incredible ingenuity and vision. Credit of course also to JPJ, Glyn Johns, Andy John’s and Eddie Kramer (the greatest hard rock sound engineers of the era), but no one had the breadth of musical vision and competence Page possessed, right through Presence, at least not since Hendrix.
Love it!
Totally agree.
Led Zeppelin’s best
Have you done Wanton Song? One of my favorite drum grooves. Everything on Presence, too, of course.
Talking about love.
You are literally steamrolled by this tune, them at one of their most relentless paces. Great tune, as are almost the entire album. I can't wait for the Wanton Song and Sick Again, the best tunes for me on side 4, bone crushing Zeppelin Rock. This is a shiny diamond of a catalog, eh? Amazing and enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Put this on when driving the interstate. Perfect!
One of their top 10 times
Thank you Led Zeppelin 🙌
Each individual in this band is considered in the top best in their instrument (voice is an instrument). Called best rock band. their variety in the music covered all gendres. this is what music is
I had my old band play this. The drummer was twenty some years younger than us and didn't know if the song before he joined us, so when it was time to play it I just told him "the Dinosaur Stomp"
just starting this one... looking forward to it! :)
No doubt each member is the best at their discipline. To me JPJ is usually the secret weapon, but I always key on what Page is doing. His guitar fills really make every song.
Underrated song i love it!❤
Hey guys check out the live version
Been waitin for this one
You’ll love the live version of this jam!
That's how you do it right there.
The lyrics were based on Robert Johnson's 1936 "Terraplane Blues." A Terraplane is a classic car, and the song uses car parts as metaphors for sex: "pump your gas," "rev all night," etc
JPJ killing it😮
Love it! It's a song about comparing a car to a woman.such a great album!
Haha, yeah, on a bootleg once Robert intro'd it with something like "This next song is supposedly about a motorcar, but it's really...just about ...moving parts!"
High energy song. Keeps on chugging.
No doubt Bonham had a big part of these lyrics relating cars to women. Any backyard old school mechanics will know exactly what I mean. Bonzo loved his cars.
If you listen to "It's A New Day" by James Brown, the intro to Soul Man by Sam & Dave, and Outta Space by Billy Preston, you can hear all of them. Led Zepp did their thing with this one!!!!!!!
You can understand the young rock singer's love for his new Jaguar XKE after hearing this
When jonesy Does this live? Hes playing the keyboards and he plays the baseline with the base petals.
Totally awesome song.. There really hitting it on this one fast and hard! Great everything..RP..JP..BONZO..JPJ
The lyrics are hilarious. Obviously Plant is singing about a woman but every line is describing the parts of some kind of classic sports-car metaphorically. Reminds me of "The Lemon Song". They made music that was fun, adventurous, and dangerous.
