"No Quarter" has always been one of favorite Zep tunes. A very haunting riff. Black Sabbath also released an album in 1973, and the title track, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" has one fierce riff.
That wah-wah riff in No Quarter on the live album "The Song Remains the Same" is one of my all time favorite Led Zeppelin moments. I liked Zep in '73. No Quarter hadn't grown to be to 40 minute piano jam it became later, it was still a heavy song with Jimmy and JPJ trading licks and ideas. Later, in 75 and 77 it became longer and more of a Jonsey track, Jimmy seemed less interested in it.
In 1972 or '73 - I saw the Edgar Winter Group play a live concert at Hayfield High School (Fairfax Country, VA). Ronnie Montrose was the guitar player. They actually played in the Hayfield High School cafeteria. They set up and played on the cafeteria's modest 2-3 foot-tall, collapsable portable stage ("accordion"stage) made of wood decking planks. The concert was general admission, no seating provided, and tickets cost about $3.50 as I recall. My friend and I got there early and parked ourselves right in front of the stage. I stood directly in front of Ronnie Montrose the whole night - I wasn't more than 6-8 feet from him. Ronnie played his sunburst 1959 Les Paul Standard - straight into a Marshall 100-watt half-stack - with just a Wah-Wah pedal. His 100-watt Marshall half-stack blew my ears out! I had always assumed it was Ronnie Montrose who played guitar on the Frankenstein hit single. I believe Rick Derringer was the producer. Correct me if I'm mistaken....Ronnie Montrose left to form his own band later in 1973 or '74 - and that's when Rick Derringer was brought in to replace him. BTW...Dan Hartman was the bass player and sang lead vocals on the hit single "Free Ride". When they played this tune at Hayfield High School, Dan Hartman played guitar (Fender Stratocaster) and Ronnie Montrose played bass. Tom
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Going back to the 1972 - '73 Edgar Winter concert at Hayfield HS. I want to revise my observation regarding who-played-what..... on the song "Free Ride". From Don Kirshner's Rock Concert c. 1974: I just found this TH-cam video clip of the Edgar Winter Group performing live on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. They open the set with the hit single "Free Ride". Dan Hartman is playing a Fender double-neck guitar w/ a Precision bass neck on top & a Stratocaster neck on the bottom. Rick Derringer is playing an unusual hybrid "Explorer". In light of this video, I now believe that 50 years ago I mistook Dan's double-neck Fender for a regular Stratocaster. Hey...it was 50 years ago! So it follows Ronnie Montrose was playing his '59 Les Paul. **Note: This is REALLY COOL.....Edgar Winter gripping the bass neck of Dan's double-neck Fender - plucks the A string of the bass neck on the down accents of the opening riff - and repeats each time Dan plays the "reprise" on the Strat neck. Here's the link to the Don Kirshner's Rock Concert from 1974: th-cam.com/video/X-oK9ift6BI/w-d-xo.html
Carl, Rick Derringer produced Edgar Winter's "They Only Come Out at Night". Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the album. I have heard Rick played some fills and stuff on the album but all credits point to this one being Ronnie Montrose on guitar. My copy of the album says it was Ronnie. Ronnie was certainly capable, but so was Rick. Most place I have looked on the internet say it was played by Ronnie. It's the internet... so it has to be the truth (hahahahahaha!).
You are right. Ronnie played on the recording. I believe he left the band shortly thereafter & so while the band was touring & making the rounds on all the shows such as Midnight Special, American Bandstand, etc. Rick filled in so I believe everyone thinks he played on the recording. I personally think Ronnie's signature riff was Free Ride. One of the coolest riffs ever.
@@leskobrandon691 I met Ronnie when Montrose first came out. Short, kind. Let me watch him play. The worst teeth in Rock n Roll. I'm a Huge Rinnie Fan. We Miss Him.
So glad you included “Do You Feel Like We Do” in this list! I was a little bit perturbed that you didn’t include it in your 1976 video, as I associate it more with Frampton Comes Alive. That one, “Rock’n’Roll Hootchie Coo”, “China Grove,” and “The Ocean” were staples of my high school band. We played them at every Sweet 16 and Bat Mitzvah party in Fair Lawn, NJ in the mid 1970s.
Hey Carl great collection. Seems like the older I get the more I appreciate how other wordly outstanding Led Zeppelin was. They were truly in a class by themselves.
"Rock and Roll Hoochie koo" ...I added this to my in-car usb drive a few months ago. I hadn't heard it in years. Born 1958 and grew up with some of the best music of the late 60s through the 70s. You do have a great choice of riffs here.
Great episode Carl!Those are all great riffs! I enjoyed Zeppelins riffs no 6 and 7 the most..seeing how those are played..something to aspire to play..one day!
Great riffage! 1973 was a giant year for Rock - so much great music, so many great riffs and songs! I love all those riffs you have done here today. And if I may, some more classic riffs from that year: Woman from Tokyo by Deep Purple; Waitin' for the Bus by ZZ Top.; and Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh.
hey Grandaddy!!!! Carl ...(C J your 73 year old fan from the MIss Gulf Coast). In 1976, get this, I was the manager of an AM, yes AM album oriented rack station. while other stations were playing the basterdized single version of DO YOU FEEL, we were belting out 14 minutes and 15 seconds off Framption!!!!!!!!!!! PS .....no sartorial questions this week! 😀
It'd be really cool if you made a video about your different Les Pauls. I've seen you use three different ones I believe, and it would be neat to see you go over them in detail and talk about each one and what makes them unique!
What a great era we grew up in for music! These are such killer riffs. Not a big post-beatles McCartney fan, but that one song on Band on the Run I did love. The rest were a lot of fluff. 1973 has to be one of, if not the best year, for hard/classic rock.
Thanks for including China Grove from the Doobies. The other riffs are great but I have not heard China Grove in a long time and had forgotten how much I used to love it.
Enjoy, Carl! Definitely, your bonus with Led Zeppelin's No Quarter is, in my opinion, the greatest of all the songs you have played before. No Quarter is my favorite song from my favorite rock band, yep! Well done, Carl, for this musical moment!
"Free Ride" from Edgar Winter off the same album is also a memorable riff. Great video, as always! As for others from 1973: "Money" from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, "Gimme Three Steps" from Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper, "Mama Kin" by Aerosmith, and "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers Band all get my vote.
For those that don’t know, the background music to the specific Riff’s, is Carl Baldassarre in his Syzygy days! I gotta get those CD’s back out! Sooo Cool. Great video by the way 😊
I love it! The Ocean one of my all-time favorite songs by any band. The drumming by Bonzo is extraordinary and Page is great. As a drummer, I loved the time changes in this song.
Hi Carl! Always happy to see you on my feed! As far as I know (although he's credited as playing slide guitar, pedal steel, bass and claves on the album) Rick only produced Frankenstein and the guitar was all Ronnie Montrose. Some '73 riff requests: Deep Purple - Lazy Johnny Winter - Rock Me Baby David Bowie - The Prettiest Star Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat Alice Cooper - Big Apple Dreaming (Hippo) James Gang - The Devil Is Singing Our Song None of these are that familiar to the casual listener, but, man, these riffs cook like eggs and bacon in a cast iron skillet! Cheers!
You're a lot like me. I play guitar as well and probably around your age. It's weird about 1973 because that was a huge year for me. I got my first serious electric guitar that year. A Fender Telecaster Custom in mocha brown finish. I just recently bought a new one but the decal is not like the original. So I did research and found a company from Canada that sells the exact decal from 1973. My guitar tech is going to sand down this headstock and restore it to look exactly like my first guitar. Pretty cool right. But just this morning it hit me... Holy shit that was 50 years ago. That's a8 long time!!
"The Ocean" lyrics are also referring to Plant's daughter Carmen Jane (born 1968): "Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart - she is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start." When played live, Plant used to "update" the lyrics according to Carmen's current age ("she is only XX years old..."). I think that's another gem of this song :)
Hi Carl - Given your knowledge of the 70s and professional composer intellect, I'd love to see you cover Terry Kath era Chicago Transit Authority. Growing up, I hated Chicago but recently received some education and exposure to Terry Kath and WOW, he was a blues master. Just curious what you know, there's not much covering him on YT.
Carl, I love all that you do. But, let me say that I was amazed that you didn’t include anything from Dark Side of the Moon - arguably the greatest album of the 70’s. Breath or Money include iconic riffs that should be included in any collection of great riffs from that year. Love what you do!
Heard on a local radio station this album came out today 50 years ago. Work ended never heard it but I know we all know There was “Houses of the Holy” then everything else.
Wonderful, I was 19 when Frankenstein came out. Carl, please double-check the guitarist. Although Derringer on played on the album, I am fairly certain it was Ronnie Montrose who played all the guitar tracks on Frandenstein. On the album Derringer is listed playing slide guitar, pedal steel guitar and various other instruments. Montrose was lead guitarist for the original group.
Wait in’ for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top Anything from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath Penetration - Iggy & the Stooges Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper Country Honey - T Rex Panic in Detroit - Bowie You are correct, Sir. 1973 was a rifftastically amazing year.
Hey Carl...you're doing fine (with the channel....patience...)....and on another note....the doobie brothers and Frampton were always a touch to "commercial" or "middle of the road" for me.....but Led Zeps "ocean" is a good example how "real" rock'n roll riffs sound.....and the winter brothers and Rick Derringer were good rockn'rollers too.....cheers....🤠
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic haha...good one...but i like it....one mellows as the years pass.....but as i get even "older" i seem to revert back to the "early days"...we didn't know what we had back then...but such is life....
For me Led Zeppelin always wins: any contest, any ranking system. #1 for me is Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham. 1968-1980. The greatest band ever. No one even comes close.
It's not a competition . And if it were, any winner or loser would be simply based on one's personal and subjective perspective. BUT, if one wishes to compare Apples to Oranges, then the mighty DEEP PURPLE is waaaaaay up there in the lofty pantheon of the greats as well.
Love the cherry burst LP. How old is it? Sounds great of course. A second LP. Another beauty. Obviously a LP player all the way. Great sounding guitars.
As already said, Zeppelin / Pagey wins anytime. However, I understand the studio 'Do You...' was released that year, however swapping that 1 tor '76 riffs & you have to throw a Montrose riff from his 1st album. Any would do. & he was also on 'Frankenstein'
The original version of Rock and Roll hoochie choo came out when he was with Johnny Winter on an album called Johnny Winter And.. Great album. Derringer version was more popular
Hey guys, it's all about the Creativity of all the greatest of all these guitar heroes 🙌, I'm still mourning the loss of Jeff Beck😭, But, Jimmy Page is still the greatest, And always will be...
Carl, I love ya you know that, but we got issues. Big Issues. Today is the 50th Anniversary of Dark Side Of The Moon release. I cannot believe you left it out of this video for 1973. Its perhaps the greatest album of all time. I suspect you're not a big fan of the Floyd or a Syd Barrett fan but come on man! You just disrespected music by ignoring the Floyd. Still love ya! Love your videos and enthusiasm. 😉
Wrong! The guitar on Frankenstein was played by Ronnie Montrose. Ronnie later quit the band and formed his own group "Montrose" with Sammy Hagar on vocals.
I found a live video of Rick and Edgar playing it (which is how I learned the parts I played). But I never knew the studio track was Montrose. Thanks for the heads up!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic No problem. I'm a HUGE Ronnie Montrose fan and I've hit to make sure my man gets credit where credit is due. BTW You should hit some of his music. It's really diverse. He was always exploring new sounds and styles in his musical pursuits.
We’ve done 4 already….not 5. (The Ocean)
Great episode,Carl. All those songs are absolutely legendary and will be studied for years to come.
I think it’s because he had reviewed 5 songs and The ocean was 6
He obviously did that because the 6th riff was coming up
I can't believe you picked Edgar Winter! This song is absolutely insane, it gets me grooving every time! Very nice selection!
Glad you like it!
I always thought that Frankenstein was a perfect song for a bar band (as long as you have a talented keyboardist).
"No Quarter" has always been one of favorite Zep tunes. A very haunting riff. Black Sabbath also released an album in 1973, and the title track, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" has one fierce riff.
Thanks for including in the epic No Quarter riff! One of my favorite songs!
The mighty mighty Ocean! Love the smoke. Thanks CB!
and let's not forget Bob Mayo!
Awesome Video!! Nice pic from Kezar Stadium!! One of all time greatest concerts Zep ever performed!! Rock On 🤘
I was wondering where that pic was from
Love the scene in Dirty Harry at Kezar Stadium too.

Frankenstein was an amazing studio adventure 🙂 Had I been old enough, I'd have loved to be in there, if only to sit and observe the process.
Oh, that bonus...delightful 😁

Yay!
Carl, you really picked the riffs.......great job!
Another fantastic video - awesome job! And your lighting and staging is top notch.
Thank you very much!

It's so good!
Always looking forward to a new video from you, Carl! Keep up all the hard work. 😁
Thanks for including China Grove from the Doobies. The other riffs are great but I have not heard China Grove in a long time and had forgotten how much I used to love it.

Love how you turned on the fog machine lol nice!
Thanks! That’s my editor Billy Brock!! He’s always down to clown!!
50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon today! Where's the love 😂
I love it! The Ocean one of my all-time favorite songs by any band. The drumming by Bonzo is extraordinary and Page is great. As a drummer, I loved the time changes in this song.
Me too!!!
That is so sweet that you dressed up your Les Paul with a scarf around its neck so it doesn't get cold in the winter! ^_^
Ha! I like to think I’m a good papa!
That was a good time. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Carl!
Always happy to see you on my feed!
As far as I know (although he's credited as playing slide guitar, pedal steel, bass and claves on the album) Rick only produced Frankenstein and the guitar was all Ronnie Montrose.
Some '73 riff requests:
Deep Purple - Lazy
Johnny Winter - Rock Me Baby
David Bowie - The Prettiest Star
Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat
Alice Cooper - Big Apple Dreaming (Hippo)
James Gang - The Devil Is Singing Our Song
None of these are that familiar to the casual listener, but, man, these riffs cook like eggs and bacon in a cast iron skillet!
Cheers!
I’ll check those out!!!
Great riffs!
Nice effect! I thought that was my cigar smoke on the computer!
Haha! Love it!!
You have the most fun channel.❤
BTW, a new Les Paul with a killer flame top! I'm jealous!
Thanks Carl!
No quarter, another great song.
You're a lot like me. I play guitar as well and probably around your age. It's weird about 1973 because that was a huge year for me. I got my first serious electric guitar that year.

Hi Carl - Given your knowledge of the 70s and professional composer intellect, I'd love to see you cover Terry Kath era Chicago Transit Authority. Growing up, I hated Chicago but recently received some education and exposure to Terry Kath and WOW, he was a blues master. Just curious what you know, there's not much covering him on YT.

My favorite Edgar Winter guitar riff is Free Ride! I think it was written by Dan Hartman.
I’ve got to learn it!!
Been watching Frampton playing feel like I do.....been wanting to work on it...
The 1970's was huge for riffs and I like the ones you have here Carl! To put you on the spot, maybe the best riff from each year?
Good idea!
Heard on a local radio station this album came out today 50 years ago. Work ended never heard it but I know we all know There was “Houses of the Holy” then everything else.
73, the best year.....
Grand Funk - American Band - Lot of good riffs on that album
Indeed!
Rick Derringer is an unsung guitar hero. His All American Boy is a great album!

73 was a good year. When I came into the world there was some of the best music ever made
Yes. We were lucky to live those times.
Wait in’ for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top
Anything from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Penetration - Iggy & the Stooges
Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John
Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper
Country Honey - T Rex
Panic in Detroit - Bowie
You are correct, Sir. 1973 was a rifftastically amazing year.
Great list!
Wish you included The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy, that song was huge in 76, great guitar(s)

✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Cool list.
Mine would include Deep Purple’s Woman from Tokyo
and
Alice Cooper’s Billion Dollar Babies
What is the purpose of the hairband on the headstock? String damper or protection for the finish if bending the strings?
Damper!
Love the cherry burst LP. How old is it? Sounds great of course. A second LP. Another beauty. Obviously a LP player all the way. Great sounding guitars.
Thank you. The Cherry is 70-72. The honey burst is 2005.
Great playing man, what shirt is that?
I thought the Frankenstein opening was keyboards? Where’s Woman From Tokyo??
Woman from Tokyo is an excellent riff from that year. Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore was a riff machine!
Purple is coming!!
The P4ths are tucked in doubling the keys!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic Wonderful news!!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic I’ll keep an eye out for it… btw I couldn’t find lay down stay down.
Of course, the opening riffs of The Song Remains The Same could have easily made the list, especially the live version.
'The Rocker' by Thin Lizzy is a great guitar riff from 1973
I'm sure you get this alot ....what is the Les Paul you are using here??
More on Jeff Beck and Pat Metheny please.
Two of my favourites also
Carl, can you talk about Whitesnake - Fool for your love no more. Guitarrist Bernie Marsden. Thank you.
Great stuff for sure!
Larks' Tongues In Aspic (Part One) and Money should have been on the list.
Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation - In my opinion their best album.
I’ll check it out!!
How about Faith Healer by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Time by Pink Floyd, Larks Tongues in Aspic #2 by King Crimson.
Yes!!!
Can we get a lesson on do you feel like we do ✌️✌️
As already said, Zeppelin / Pagey wins anytime. However, I understand the studio 'Do You...' was released that year, however swapping that 1 tor '76 riffs & you have to throw a Montrose riff from his 1st album. Any would do. & he was also on 'Frankenstein'
The original version of Rock and Roll hoochie choo came out when he was with Johnny Winter on an album called Johnny Winter And.. Great album. Derringer version was more popular
Try doing The sultans of swing.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Search and destroy, La grange and Angie
“Dancing With The Moonlit Knight” by Genesis would another great one from 1973.
I’ll check it out!
I prefer to count "The Ocean" as 15/8, awkward as that may be 🙂
I only miss Deep Purple - Rat Bat Blue + SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH
2 excellent riffs from 1973.
tea for one
Hey guys, it's all about the Creativity of all the greatest of all these guitar heroes 🙌, I'm still mourning the loss of Jeff Beck😭, But, Jimmy Page is still the greatest, And always will be...
Ritchie Blackmore waaaay up there too!
Carl, I love ya you know that, but we got issues. Big Issues. Today is the 50th Anniversary of Dark Side Of The Moon release. I cannot believe you left it out of this video for 1973. Its perhaps the greatest album of all time. I suspect you're not a big fan of the Floyd or a Syd Barrett fan but come on man! You just disrespected music by ignoring the Floyd. Still love ya! Love your videos and enthusiasm. 😉
Thanks for the reminder!
Deep Purple- Rat Bat Blue
Agreed. Excellent Ritchie Blackmore riff. The mighty Deep Purple!
Great choices, but ya' forgot "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"!!!!!! ;-)
Dam, I was 9...
No quarter my friend
Wrong! The guitar on Frankenstein was played by Ronnie Montrose. Ronnie later quit the band and formed his own group "Montrose" with Sammy Hagar on vocals.
I found a live video of Rick and Edgar playing it (which is how I learned the parts I played). But I never knew the studio track was Montrose. Thanks for the heads up!
@@CarlBaldassarreMusic No problem. I'm a HUGE Ronnie Montrose fan and I've hit to make sure my man gets credit where credit is due. BTW You should hit some of his music. It's really diverse. He was always exploring new sounds and styles in his musical pursuits.
