Led Zep was one of the greatest bands in history. This was their last studio album before they lost Bonham. His drumming was the greatest to the very end.
@@jamesfetcho6315 it doesn’t change anything besides correcting pitch. For autotune to even work as it’s supposed to, you’d have to already sound somewhat good given a few flat or sharp notes. It doesn’t suddenly make bad singers good. It’s a crutch for lots of people, sure, but it isn’t some magical fix-all for bad singers. Let go of that tired ass notion
@@Cactusfruitsquisher stop telling Me what it does. I have owned one since 2000, and though I don't use it I have used it on people that can't (less talented) stay in tune. So enough with You trying 2 tell me what it can, and can't do. Sounds like you must use one. Since You are so deeply offended by it.🤷♂️
@@jamesfetcho6315 I would say the problem isn’t auto tune in itself, more in how it’s used. Many artist get auto tuned when it’s not needed. Overused I guess is what I’m saying. Nothing wrong with a singer choosing a phrase be slightly sharp or flat for the emotional effect.
And that is how it was done. They wrote every musical note and played the instruments. They changed the musical scene and set the bar high. The mighty Led Zeppelin!
@@Valorius Boogie Woogie came out in 1941, so my grand-dad would have been 40 years old, far past his hard rockin' prime, lol! (Plus he was a preacher, and any music not of God was of The Devil, Lol. So I chose not to be religious myself, cause I LOVE Devil Music! lol)
Unfortunately this was the beginning of the end for Zep. Bonham died a year later and that was the end of an epic era and the greatest rock band ever. Don’t know what they would have become but I miss them.
It sounded that way too. This song might has well have been written by Bob Seger or ELO. Very generic rock, unfortunately, from the greatest band of the 70s.
This album was a bit of a departure from previous led Zep albums. You’re spot on they they were adventurous and innovative with their sound. And Lex--you’re right that the riff is cool!
Back when it came out, alot of Zep fans struggled with this album. I loved half of it immediately but had to let the rest grow on me. That said, I never cared for "All of My Love". Like at all.
This is my favorite Zeppelin song! I love it! My parents took me to my only Led Zeppelin concert when I was 6 years old. Now at 55 I have vague memories of it but I'm grateful my hippie parents took me!
same here, my favorite as well. I find the intro kind of spooky and it always gives me chills when it crashes into the main riff. I almost hold my breath everytime waiting for it to crash in.
Robert Plant was still grieving over the loss of his son Karac. Jimmy and Bonzo were both strung out on smack and didn't even show up for days to record. John Paul Jones (Jonesy) was mainly credited for putting this album together. The intro is Jimmy on his violin bow with a Gizmotron. The lyrics is about the pain and grief people go through in life and the fact that all success and riches in the world cannot alleviate it. "You can turn away from fortune because that's all that's left.....It's loney at the bottom....it's dizzy at the top"
@@paganberzerker64 Zep was truly ground breaking. People could argue the same for Floyd. But, yeah, for me Tool is, by far, the best ever. Saw them in Dublin a few weeks ago.
This was the final Led Zeppelin album. There was limited technology in 1980. End of the greatest rock n roll band in the world over. Talent was the culture back in this rush time. Hopefully, you will appreciate this in the nature intended.
I recommend digging into Robert Plants solo albums after Led Zeppelin hung it up. Pictures at Eleven 1982, The Principal of Moments 1983 and Now and Zen 1988. In the Mood and Big Log are a good place to start.
Shaken and Stirred was also an amazing record. I love Sixes and Sevens, Pink and Black... etc. Or even the more recent "Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar" and "Carry Fire". Roberts music has always remained of the highest quality.
Page and Bonham had been talking about wanting to get back to their older heavier sound with the next Zeppelin album, after this one, but then of course Bonham died. I REALLY wish we could have heard that next album ;)
My first Led Zepplin album I purchased. All of My Love was a great song of this album. Athough Styx was my favorite band in High School, Led Zepplin became my favorite in College.
@@Deborahtunes- A lot of fans disregarded Presence as well. But change was Zeppelins modus operandi. Some people didn't roll with it because they were expecting another Zeppelin IV or another anthem like Whole Lotta Love, their loss.
@@joeyhuebner10 ~ Changing up the music a little is always good, as long as it's not too far out of their realm. Example: could you have seen Zeppelin doing a new wave album? Something similar to 'Flock Of Seagals maybe, or The Cars? I certainly couldn't. There were certain genres I wish specific bands had stayed away from, if it wasn't in their regular form to play...
That's just delay and reverb on his vocals, otherwise it's only his voice. There's nothing like "autotune" being used. And if you want outside the box, start with the first Led Zeppelin album and listen to the entire catalog. There is no more talented group of four all around musicians then Led Zeppelin.
They also liked to experiment with using multiple microphones at different distances and see what voice "effects" they could capture. It produced some great vocal that were a bit contrived but not from electronic manipulation like we see (hear) so often today.
Reverb being an effect that creates a feeling of being in an room that gives an echo. It can be changed to emulate many different aspects of that type of sound.
@@88wildcat Ok if you want to go there. Led Zeppelin played everything live at concerts. The sound stage would add effects but they weren't using any sort of backing track like Rush. All 3 members of Rush have some sort of electronic device that triggers either backing tracks, backup vocals or some other kind of "sample" for their live performances. It's no secret that Alex Lifeson will "sing" backup during a concert but it sounds exactly like Geddy Lee.
Carouselambra is such an underrated track. The guitar chords are fierce. Intense tempo and amazing lyrics. Pretty much my favorite song of theirs nowadays.
YES!!!! You guys are listening to ALL my favorites!! I listened to nothing but Led Zeppelin (all day, every day!!) for about 2-3 years straight!! Thank you guys for sharing!! Some good Zeppelin tracks (for me) are When The Levee Breaks, Black Dog (live - 1973), Rock And Roll (live in Knebworth - 1979), Darlene, No Quarter, The Rain Song (live - 1973 - A MUST, if you haven’t heard it yet), Fool In The Rain, Dancing Days, D’yer Mak’er, and All My Love. Their album, In Through The Outdoor (the album In The Evening was released on in 1979) was Led Zeppelin’s last album before John Bonham (drummer) passed away a year later, September 1980. No one could have EVER replaced him because of his incredible style and abilities, and because they were so great and powerful and unique together, the remaining members knew and decided they could no longer go on playing as Led Zeppelin. John Bonham’s son actually played drums for them at their reunion show a few years back. It was fun listening to this with you guys! 🤘🏼👍🏼
I love it when Jimmy Page comes into his solo after Rob's done singing and it sounds like a bunch of stuff falling over cuz he's just hitting the muted strings going across the guitar going bop bop bop bop bop and it just keeps going up higher in the register as you go from one string to the other
That sound is the whammy bar spring decompressing. Page had a mic hooked close to the spring. He starts with the bar pressed down then slowly releases it so you can hear the spring stretching back out.
My mental image was always Jimmy tripping over his guitar cord just as his solo started :). I know that is not what happened, but it was a fun mental image.
When you're in a mellow mood, check out another fantastic cut from this album called "All My Love". A song Robert Plant wrote for his 5 year old son, Karac, who died in 1977.
I remember listening to this on the radio in August 1979 as I sat in my car at Knebworth the night before Led Zeppelin played their concert. A nice memory.
This was when Zeppelin was kind of changing their musical style a little near the end of the '70s going into the '80s, it sounded great. I liked this album. Good old classic rock Lex Zeppelin ! Ha
One thing about Zeppelin is that they also experimented with distance miking....where they would place microphones in different parts of the studio...thus creating all these cool everlasting sounds that have stood the test of time and will continue to do so . Let The Music Be Your Mater .🎸🔥🎸
This was the first song on the last real Led Zeppelin album. Jimmy Page, the guitar player, who had been the principal songwriter along with Robert Plant, had been doing too much heroin and was out of ideas. Bass player, keyboardist, and brilliant studio musician John Paul Jones stepped up and wrote a lot of the music. Some like it; some don’t. I do. Listen to “All of My Love” or “I’m Gonna Crawl” and tell me there’s nothing there. But it’s different. Then John Bonham died and it was over. John Paul Jones is a brilliant producer and occasional player now on some of your favorite records.
You are right....John was the only one who could step up and he did. Jimmy Page and others were critical of the album's direction but then he should have kept himself clean in the first place. It is more polished but it is Zep exploring new musical ideas. And I have always said that as good as Bonham was, without JPJ, the rhythm section would have fallen flat. JPJ could direct that powerful rhythm anyway he wanted and I bet that he never felt limited.
This song comes from the album "In Through The Out Door" and it was the last, because of the untimely death of their drummer, John Bonham, who died 9-25-1980. This album has a lot of great music on it, "In The Evening" is my favorite, I use to workout with it. This was cool, thanks!
This album came wrapped in brown paper. there were 6 versions of the cover. The inner sleeves were watercolors. Wet a brush and paint the sleeve to watch it reveal its color. Still have the copy I bought in 1979.
Lex... i just about dropped my spoon when u said Tiramisu, which i am eating as i type... good call kiddo. By the way when Zep announced there North American Tour for this Album, there was only 1 Canadian date on it for Montreal,Canada. i did buy a Ticket but unfortunately Mr JOHN BONHAM passed and the tour was cancelled. i still have my ticket in a 3 inch screw down plastic protector . I had just turned 16 and thought i was gonna see LED ZEPPELIN.
Lex's stank face at 5:16 was worth the price of admission, alone! Gotta love how emotive she is. But this was a great reaction all the way around. The new guy chimed in again with some more impressive insights, and the *"relationship drama"* banter back 'n forth between Lex and Brad at the end was priceless--again, especially with Lex's great expressions! lol If you wanna stay on this album, the best track is a total banger called *"Fool In The Rain".* But Brad, I noticed you did not use a lyric video for this one, although maybe you read them and we just couldn't see them. Whatever the case, make sure you have the lyrics for *"Fool In The Rain"* as it tells a great story!
Fool in the Rain is my favorite LZ song. I love the changes in tempo. The story is very similar to "Silhouettes" by Herman's Hermits. And the opening two lines are probably the most romantic opening to a rock and roll song ever. There's a light in your eyes that keeps shining / Like a star that can't wait for a night.
One of the greatest jams of all time. God..I miss it 😢. I would blast this jam in my pickup truck hauling my bike on the way to the track back then when I raced moto. Mannn...it would get me ridiculously ampted to the point I raced reckless lol 😆😎
This album was made mostly by Plant and John Paul Jones as Page was dealing with his drug addiction. Yet the guitar work is still incredible. Also, this album was being produced and came out during a time when the media and critics felt Zeppelin was just an old band so to prove people would buy the album they wrapped the album cover in a brown paper bag, which by the way, came with 4 different album covers.
The "woman/girl" that's mentioned or needing love aren't literal, they're metaphors for chasing fame and fortune and the problems/pitfalls fame can bring. Lyrics such as "ain't no pockets full of mercy, baby, 'cause you can only blame yourself" and "it's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top but if you're standing in the middle, ain't no way you're gonna stop" for example, help illustrate this. Have the lyrics pulled up while listening to the song again and you'll see what I mean. Berto should try more Led Zeppelin.
I was about to start 8th grade when this album came out. It got played a bit at school dances. A year later we'd just started 9th grade and John Bonham dies. I didn't get to see Led Zeppelin but my babysitter did and told me about it. We all thought we'd be going to see Zeppelin at some point when they went on tour for this album ... maybe the Summer of '81? Nope. Oh, then two months after Bonham dies John Lennon gets shot.
Summer 1987. I was in eighth grade and this was the very first Led Zeppelin song I had ever heard. I distinctly remember what I was doing and who I was with because this music was so new and different from what I was used to listening to at the time…it struck a place in my soul, got me right in the innards and thirty years later each time I listen to them that feeling is as fresh as the first time.
well its like this , this is the first reaction to this tune i have seen, this was their last album before Bonham passed away. thankyou for that, FOOL IN THE RAIN is a must hear off the same album.
At about 5:17 in your video is one of the coolest starts to a guitar solo ever, for my money. At proper volume you can feel the notes oozing out of the speakers like honey.
Mesmerizing!!! Led Zeppelin -- best hard rock band EVER!!!, and they were supposed to be depressed while writing this album. When Bonzo died in 1980, and the band split up -- that was truly depressing for so many reasons led by losing the greatest rock drummer ... it also affected MTV as they didn't benefit from any Led Zeppelin songs to start their run through the '80s. Imagine how '80s music would have been influenced had Zeppelin stayed together and continued to put out great albums.
In 1974, Robert Plant had surgery on his vocal chords and they were never the same. That's probably what you're hearing different from other Zep songs cause this song was released in 1979
There's no auto tune until the 2000s, people. This song, like most on this album, was initially composed by John Paul Jones because Page was strung out on heroine at the time, and Plant was still dealing with the loss of his son.
I gotta say I'm really liking the hologram of the decade younger Brad twin that's been with us lately. Man those family genetics run deep. Right down to the head bobel
One of Zeppelin’s best…and most underrated songs🤘🏼 This was released 13 months before John Bonham’s death, which ultimately lead to the end of Led Zeppelin😓
Robert Plant did indy projects with The Honey Drippers and his solo albums with "29 Palms", "Tall Cool One" etc. He did a cover of "If I were a carpenter" that will make you melt. RP has a lot of material that is gold out there.
It was a beautiful thing when Jimmy Page started using a Strat and a whammy bar. I think that started on Presence. Autotune was not around back then, but they did manually manipulate pitch by speeding up or slowing down tapes. Eventide also made some digital pitch shifting products by the time of this album, although that was also nothing like Autotune.
3:27 This song has an Eventide digital Harmonizer on it. They had just come out right before this album was made. It could sample notes and pitch shift them. It was kind of like a primitive auto tune device. You can hear it on the drums at the begining of the song. (the swooshing sound) also Robert Plant is rumored to have used it in live performances. Sounds he used it on his opening lines when he says "In the evening"
Lol you beat me to it Frank. I must say how I’m always cringing when all of these reaction channels kids relentlessly mention autotune, while referencing music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s grunge. I enjoy their enthusiasm but wish they would use the “Google Machine” to become even slightly informed. By the way, Zeppelin and autotune? 😳Holy shit that’s lame. 🙄 Enjoyed your comments. Perhaps you should do background for these channels. Regards
Saw Page and Plant at the Shoreline amphitheater in CA some time early mid 90's. I remember it was summer and It was a 10 dollar concert thru the local radio station in San Francisco . We got lawn seats with a giant TV screen above us. What a beautiful night it was.
This album was sold in a brown paper bag with only the name printed on it. It was to prove that they would sell by name alone. It was their biggest pre-sale album which made it number one album both sides of the altlantic with over 12 million sales
Led Zep was one of the greatest bands in history. This was their last studio album before they lost Bonham. His drumming was the greatest to the very end.
He was their heart ❤. That's why they reunited in 2009, it only could have been Jason to play.
No Auto Tune Ever With The Zep Or Any Band In The 70's Just Pure Talent!!!!

This was when Zeppelin was kind of changing their musical style a little near the end of the '70s going into the '80s, it sounded great. I liked this album. Good old classic rock Lex Zeppelin ! Ha
Still feel ripped off that the path stopped with this album. (Coda doesn’t count, imo)
If you were a Zep fan, you could understand this more back then. I loved this album
One thing about Zeppelin is that they also experimented with distance miking....where they would place microphones in different parts of the studio...thus creating all these cool everlasting sounds that have stood the test of time and will continue to do so . Let The Music Be Your Mater .🎸🔥🎸
One of my favorite songs
The Mighty Led Zeppelin back in the day... thumbs up, more please...
Led Zeppelin are the Kings of Rock 🎸
This was the first song on the last real Led Zeppelin album. Jimmy Page, the guitar player, who had been the principal songwriter along with Robert Plant, had been doing too much heroin and was out of ideas. Bass player, keyboardist, and brilliant studio musician John Paul Jones stepped up and wrote a lot of the music. Some like it; some don’t. I do. Listen to “All of My Love” or “I’m Gonna Crawl” and tell me there’s nothing there. But it’s different. Then John Bonham died and it was over. John Paul Jones is a brilliant producer and occasional player now on some of your favorite records.
You are right....John was the only one who could step up and he did. Jimmy Page and others were critical of the album's direction but then he should have kept himself clean in the first place. It is more polished but it is Zep exploring new musical ideas. And I have always said that as good as Bonham was, without JPJ, the rhythm section would have fallen flat. JPJ could direct that powerful rhythm anyway he wanted and I bet that he never felt limited.
This song comes from the album "In Through The Out Door" and it was the last, because of the untimely death of their drummer, John Bonham, who died 9-25-1980. This album has a lot of great music on it, "In The Evening" is my favorite, I use to workout with it. This was cool, thanks!
This album came wrapped in brown paper. there were 6 versions of the cover. The inner sleeves were watercolors. Wet a brush and paint the sleeve to watch it reveal its color. Still have the copy I bought in 1979.
Lex... i just about dropped my spoon when u said Tiramisu, which i am eating as i type... good call kiddo. By the way when Zep announced there North American Tour for this Album, there was only 1 Canadian date on it for Montreal,Canada. i did buy a Ticket but unfortunately Mr JOHN BONHAM passed and the tour was cancelled. i still have my ticket in a 3 inch screw down plastic protector . I had just turned 16 and thought i was gonna see LED ZEPPELIN.
Lex's stank face at 5:16 was worth the price of admission, alone! Gotta love how emotive she is. But this was a great reaction all the way around. The new guy chimed in again with some more impressive insights, and the *"relationship drama"* banter back 'n forth between Lex and Brad at the end was priceless--again, especially with Lex's great expressions! lol If you wanna stay on this album, the best track is a total banger called *"Fool In The Rain".* But Brad, I noticed you did not use a lyric video for this one, although maybe you read them and we just couldn't see them. Whatever the case, make sure you have the lyrics for *"Fool In The Rain"* as it tells a great story!
Fool in the Rain is my favorite LZ song. I love the changes in tempo. The story is very similar to "Silhouettes" by Herman's Hermits. And the opening two lines are probably the most romantic opening to a rock and roll song ever. There's a light in your eyes that keeps shining / Like a star that can't wait for a night.
One of the greatest jams of all time. God..I miss it 😢. I would blast this jam in my pickup truck hauling my bike on the way to the track back then when I raced moto. Mannn...it would get me ridiculously ampted to the point I raced reckless lol 😆😎
"Fool In The Rain" is just the most infectious drumming ever. Everyone's favorite Air Drumming song.
true, but the song sux.
Lucky timing for me in life...my first kiss was with this playing on the radio. I will always remember this.
This album was made mostly by Plant and John Paul Jones as Page was dealing with his drug addiction. Yet the guitar work is still incredible. Also, this album was being produced and came out during a time when the media and critics felt Zeppelin was just an old band so to prove people would buy the album they wrapped the album cover in a brown paper bag, which by the way, came with 4 different album covers.
Not to Mention the fun time feature. The Watercolor Sleeve Insert!
The "woman/girl" that's mentioned or needing love aren't literal, they're metaphors for chasing fame and fortune and the problems/pitfalls fame can bring. Lyrics such as "ain't no pockets full of mercy, baby, 'cause you can only blame yourself" and "it's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top but if you're standing in the middle, ain't no way you're gonna stop" for example, help illustrate this. Have the lyrics pulled up while listening to the song again and you'll see what I mean. Berto should try more Led Zeppelin.
Got this album when it came out. Listened millions of times, never knew those were the lyrics, lol.
Especially on this song. Good luck catching all the lyrics.
@@PeterTea or "Trampled Under Foot". Lol
It's OK to do a lot, if you do it well...and they kinna do. Nasty riff on this one! Their last LP (1979)
I was about to start 8th grade when this album came out. It got played a bit at school dances. A year later we'd just started 9th grade and John Bonham dies. I didn't get to see Led Zeppelin but my babysitter did and told me about it. We all thought we'd be going to see Zeppelin at some point when they went on tour for this album ... maybe the Summer of '81? Nope. Oh, then two months after Bonham dies John Lennon gets shot.
In the Evening is another great Zeppelin tune. Please try In the Light. Another great Zeppelin tune, kinda Pink Floyed esq.
You guys rock!
Love the bass on In the Light .
Summer 1987. I was in eighth grade and this was the very first Led Zeppelin song I had ever heard. I distinctly remember what I was doing and who I was with because this music was so new and different from what I was used to listening to at the time…it struck a place in my soul, got me right in the innards and thirty years later each time I listen to them that feeling is as fresh as the first time.
Lex your officially a Led Head….congrats
One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes! 👍. One of Jimmy Page's best riffs! 🤘
Lex was born 50 years too late. nice to see how much she gets into the sounds of the mid / late 60's / 70's. she's a natural flower child.
Your so lucky to be hearing these tunes for the first time enjoy.
Oh my, the last album. God they were good. Rip John Bonham,you were a real one. ❤️🎼❤️🔥🤘😎
I recall when this came out in 11grade - what a good time for music and even had Led Zeppelin & The Who music for our Jr. Prom
yeah i was in 10th hangin with my stoners, this tune would lull u into a trance and Paige:s eruption at the end brings u right back out of it.
this song is magical
You guys need to listen to these.. when the levie breaks, Kashmir, stair way to heaven. Really great led zeppelin songs
No such thing as auto tune at this time (thank God) just pure talent & production ♥️ The music of my teens & early 20’s 🎶 Nothing else like it!!!
well its like this , this is the first reaction to this tune i have seen, this was their last album before Bonham passed away. thankyou for that, FOOL IN THE RAIN is a must hear off the same album.
Can't understand a single word Robert Plant sings in this song, but... It's Led Zeppelin.
Im surprised nobody brought up the Jimmy Page signature violin bow intro to this one.
At about 5:17 in your video is one of the coolest starts to a guitar solo ever, for my money. At proper volume you can feel the notes oozing out of the speakers like honey.
Mesmerizing!!! Led Zeppelin -- best hard rock band EVER!!!, and they were supposed to be depressed while writing this album. When Bonzo died in 1980, and the band split up -- that was truly depressing for so many reasons led by losing the greatest rock drummer ... it also affected MTV as they didn't benefit from any Led Zeppelin songs to start their run through the '80s. Imagine how '80s music would have been influenced had Zeppelin stayed together and continued to put out great albums.
Just what the doctor ordered. Very cool song, very cool album✌️🍄
‘OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY’ , ‘FOOL IN THE RAIN’ , ‘ALL OF MY LOVE’
I was a teenager when this song, and LP, came out, Like this song a lot.
One of my fave albums. I still have my vinyl copy. In fact we had two. Gave one away. My husband is a fan too.
One of my all time favorite thumpers, for forty years now!
Check out Fool in the Rain off this album! There's a great samba like mid section!
In 1974, Robert Plant had surgery on his vocal chords and they were never the same. That's probably what you're hearing different from other Zep songs cause this song was released in 1979
Listen to the Eddie 1977 his voice is on point ..I'd say it was hot and miss after 74
There's no auto tune until the 2000s, people. This song, like most on this album, was initially composed by John Paul Jones because Page was strung out on heroine at the time, and Plant was still dealing with the loss of his son.
Glad Jimmy cleaned up
Heroin - a heroine is a female hero, it's French.
This is "baby-making by lava lamp" music, right here.
One of my favorite albums 1978 I believe,
I gotta say I'm really liking the hologram of the decade younger Brad twin that's been with us lately. Man those family genetics run deep. Right down to the head bobel
One of Zeppelin’s best…and most underrated songs🤘🏼
This was released 13 months before John Bonham’s death, which ultimately lead to the end of Led Zeppelin😓
My all time favorite Led Zep song
Robert Plant did indy projects with The Honey Drippers and his solo albums with "29 Palms", "Tall Cool One" etc. He did a cover of "If I were a carpenter" that will make you melt. RP has a lot of material that is gold out there.
I like how it suddenly turns into a Pink Floyd-ish guitar solo at 5:56!
Bro. How your girl and brother started grooving is how it's done. Lex you definitely have rock n' roll in your blood. Perfect 70s girl.
🎶LED ZEPPELIN ~ FOOL IN THE RAIN🎶
It was a beautiful thing when Jimmy Page started using a Strat and a whammy bar. I think that started on Presence. Autotune was not around back then, but they did manually manipulate pitch by speeding up or slowing down tapes. Eventide also made some digital pitch shifting products by the time of this album, although that was also nothing like Autotune.
3:27 This song has an Eventide digital Harmonizer on it. They had just come out right before this album was made. It could sample notes and pitch shift them. It was kind of like a primitive auto tune device. You can hear it on the drums at the begining of the song. (the swooshing sound) also Robert Plant is rumored to have used it in live performances. Sounds he used it on his opening lines when he says "In the evening"
Lol you beat me to it Frank. I must say how I’m always cringing when all of these reaction channels kids relentlessly mention autotune, while referencing music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s grunge. I enjoy their enthusiasm but wish they would use the “Google Machine” to become even slightly informed. By the way, Zeppelin and autotune? 😳Holy shit that’s lame. 🙄 Enjoyed your comments. Perhaps you should do background for these channels. Regards
Saw Page and Plant at the Shoreline amphitheater in CA some time early mid 90's. I remember it was summer and It was a 10 dollar concert thru the local radio station in San Francisco . We got lawn seats with a giant TV screen above us. What a beautiful night it was.
love this song....it's so cool
This album was sold in a brown paper bag with only the name printed on it. It was to prove that they would sell by name alone. It was their biggest pre-sale album which made it number one album both sides of the altlantic with over 12 million sales
Led Zeppelin- Battle of evermore.
The only song Led Zeppelin ever used a female singer!
