Love it when that unexpected, totally soaring lead solo breaks in. Thanks for bringing this song out in the open. LZ III is a great album that demonstrates their range quite well.
Also love “ Gallows Pole “ and “Since I’ve been Loving You” from this album that introduced a more acoustic side of the band, influenced by Roy Harper.
This one brings back those lazy summer days when you were young. Laying back in the grass with a girl you love. And then it ends and you long to go back to those days.
"Tangerine" was my favorite song off of "LZ III" mostly for the "Country Music" sound. Of course I liked "The Immigrant Song," too. I bought "The Immigrant Song" single just to get "Hey, Hey..." because it wasn't on t&e album.
The cover really interested me back in 71, I guess it was so III was the first Zeppelin album I listened to. I totally didn't get it and did not listen to another one until 76, when Presence was released. That one, I got. Then I saw them on that tour (next to last performance in North America ever due to the death on Bonzo in 1980) and that turned me into a bonafide fan. Physical Graffiti is my favorite Zep album but I now appreciate III as well and the rest of them. Zeppelin always changed things up a little album to album, never satisfied to rest on their laurels. Definitely one of the best rock bands of all time.
What an awesome deep cut from LZ3, that and Gallows Pole made it worth flipping the album immediately after side one. Great tune and yet another excellent Jimmy Page guitar enhancement to make it even better. Masters at work, they never repeat themselves, always moving to the next tune.
My favorite LZ song, I even learned to play this back in the day. Page does not get enough credit for his use of pedal steel guitar which is mostly country music, but on this cut he makes it sing. Thanks so much for picking this song. LZ 3 is overlooked by most due to its acoustic focus (except "since I been loving you". After the hard rock on LZ 2 many were wrongly disappointed in this album but it is one of their best.
I remember buying this album on cassette as a kid and was expecting it to be a continuation of Zep II. I was like "what's with all this acoustic crap?" lol. Little did I know it would eventually become my favorite Zeppelin album. It's got it all.
Most would not refer to this album as very heavy , in fact side 2 is entirely acoustic except for a couple of overdubbed electric parts. It certainly has its heavy moments, but this was the lighter side of the band.
The Hartford CT Rock and College stations played a lot of the first 2 albums in 1969.and the AM Top 40 stations went bonkers for Whole Lotta Love. I was just a freshman in high school that year, everyone went crazy for them. To say they had an immediate impact would be an understatement!
In the UK album tracks were rarely played at that time. There were no local stations accept what had been pirate radio which only played pop singles, John peel had a program on Sunday afternoons that were groundbreaking but I cannot remember led Zeppelin featuring.
It sounds heavily Country influenced with the pedal steel guitar but also using a wah-wah pedal. JPJ also adds mandolin. The pedal steel fills really make the song for me and it’s obviously brilliant and diverse in terms of all the layered stringed instruments, but Plant’s layered vocals are also great.
My #1 Zeppelin album followed closely by Physical Graffiti. Read the Lord of the Rings trilogy over Christmas break to them when I was 16. Thanks for the Toby walk accompaniment. Beautiful day here in Portugal.
Hey, Lex, you won't find a bad Led Zeppelin song until their last two albums, IMO. Zeppelin literally have over 40 classic songs that are, or were, played on Rock stations, with, of course, the many masterpieces that are found on every album up until near the end, when their last two albums went from simply being alright to downright terrible. However, any song up till then is either very good, great or masterpieces. That's how awesome they are ...and this is coming from a super Yes fan, like you, only I've been one since '72. ❤✌
I do not believe Led Zep III is heavy at all. Immigrant Song is as heavy as it gets. There is blues and a lot of acoustic compositions. Check Gallows Pole and That's The Way.
Jimmy originally wrote this while he was in the Yardbirds, as a song called "Knowing That I'm Losing You." Robert added revised lyrics and Jimmy made a few tweaks, and here we are.
Hehe! Look at the ROOM! And using the old Mic's :D Probably in my Top 5 (or at the very least Top 10) Zep songs. I made a HUGE mistake selling the original pressing of the Lp, which had a die-cut image, and a imaged "wheel" that you would turn to see the various images appear through the die-cut windows: _"The album was one of the most anticipated of 1970, and its shipping date was held up by the intricate inner sleeve design based around a 'volvelle', with numerous images visible through holes in the outer cover. It was an immediate commercial success upon release and topped the UK and US charts."_ Love that 12 string intro . . . You may remember the song as the film "Almost Famous" ends with the Tour Bus going off into the sunset 🙂.
Another absolutely beautiful song that you MUST listen to is 'That's The Way' from this same, underrated album. So delicate and gentle. Cheers!

One of my absolute favorite Zeppelin songs!

No fear Zep never disappoints!
One of my favorite LZ albums !
ditto
"That's the Way" next, yeh!
John Paul Jones and Master Bonham. Best rythem section ever.
It's not a heavy album it's their most folky acoustic sounding album ...
Yeah definitely one of their more folk sounding albums, that's why the critics hated it, they wanted more of the same from the 1st and 2nd albums
"Tangerine" was my favorite song off of "LZ III" mostly for the "Country Music" sound. Of course I liked "The Immigrant Song," too.
I bought "The Immigrant Song" single just to get "Hey, Hey..." because it wasn't on t&e album.
That super dark Am groove when Jonesy's bass kicks in is lethal.
Love this song.

Jimmy Page on the pedal steel.

I can't help but think of the ending to Almost Famous when I hear this song.
I love playing this song on my Breedlove acoustic! Jimmy Page lyrics here.

Jimmy did an early take of this with the yardbirds called “knowing I’m losing you”
Whomever was playing Zeppelin LPs at the parties I was at, must have skipped that song.😅
Never heard it before 🎉❤
That's the Way, Bron-y-Aur Stomp, Friends, Gallows Pole, Out on the Tiles: all worthy choices from LZ 3.
This is the only Zep song that Jimmy wrote the lyrics for. It was about his relationship with Jackie DeShannon
Actually, he wrote many of the words on the first album. Robert didn’t fully blossom until the second album.
Most of the lyrics on the first album were reworked old blues standards, he just kind of "Jimmied" them up
@EdA1
Robert did write a lot of lyrics on the first album but he was not allowed credit as he was under contract with another record label.
Actually Jimmy wrote the lyrics to Dazed and Confused

An under the radar song by LZ that not many remember to react to: - Boogie with Stu. 🤘
The first led Zeppelin I bought. It had a unique mobile sleeve. I don't think they had match radio play before this record.

LZ 3 is my favorite LZ album
a friend of mine named his daughter Tangerine from Zep.
I have watched you guys for a while
I have to say
The Aja and the Tool tee shirts warm my heart ❤

How the West was won is a great live 1972 album and there are at least Led Zep III songs on there live !

The last two albums are excellent! I love “Presence” and “In Through the Outdoor” so many quality songs on both albums.
The goat!
Heard it when it came out.❤
Hope one day you can check out a cover of their song, No Quarter, by Tool. It is outstanding. Keep up the good work.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Has Lex heard “ Since I’ve Been Loving You”?
English Folk, more than Western IMHO. Great track, but too short. Gallows Pole is an excellent track, also from III.
Acá estamos pueden reaccionar a CIRO Y LOS PERSA EN VIVO ESTADIO FERRO 2014 ANTES Y DESPUES TEMAZOOOOOO
Don't worry Nick... I'm 59, and have NEVER listened to Metallica, and I've survived just fine.
PESCADO RABIOSO ❤🇦🇷
I do not believe Led Zep III is heavy at all. Immigrant Song is as heavy as it gets. There is blues and a lot of acoustic compositions. Check Gallows Pole and That's The Way.
Bron-yr-Aur Stomp too. Pure British folk.
We can hear the video quality difference within seconds.....

Not a wah...pedal steel guitar

Tony that Almost Famous movie is one of my all time favorites! Hope you are doing well. 😀
@@raiderfan346 Doing alright.
Yes! Probably my fave "Rock" related film, have you seen the Directors Cut called "Bootleg"? Its a MUST see :).
