This was the album that told the rock world that Zeppelin was not “just” a hard rock band. The record label was horrified and worried when they heard it, but since Jimmy Page (and the bands manager, Peter Grant) had insisted that Zep’s contract with Atlantic Records give them full creative control, Atlantic had no say in the matter. This album brought in fans, many of them female, who liked the softer sound and who had not yet embraced Zeppelin. Young guys who only wanted more of Zep I and II were disappointed. But Zep was like The Beatles that way…..continuously Evolving and not predictable.
And let's add, the guys didn't stay away for long!
There will never, never be another band like L.Z. The GOATS! 😎
As a teen in the 70s there music has been with me since i first heard them. And will be till i die
Obviously, you can't know this yet, but the lighter, acoustic style of the 3rd album was very important in Zeppelin's development for the remainder of their career. Having come off two heavy, blues/rock based albums, they took a step back and moved into new directions and reassessed. Their later music fused the heavy sound of their first two albums with the lighter, more acoustic side to create an entirely new rock sound in the 4th albums and beyond. This "light and shade" became their signature sound.....even their name, "Led Zeppelin," reflected the heavy/light sound they became known for. They were constantly evolving and experimenting with new directions, and they will surprise you greatly later on.... especially in their 5th album. :)
Led Zep III has always been my favourite since being a teenager in the early 70s, love their acoustic stuff!!
Jimmy said he was inspired to write this song after having a massive argument with his girlfriend, Charlotte. Yes, there are strings on this arranged by John Paul Jones. The reason why it ends with a Moog synthesizer drone is because there was a mistake in the studio. There was supposed to be a bit of drum flare to start the next song, Celebration Day, however, the engineer accidentally recorded over it, so they covered it by extending the synth drone into the next song, so when you start Celebration Day, you're going to hear a bit of the leftover drone first.
JPJ...he is a musical genius as is Jimmy!
That book "Hammer of the Gods" called this "Jimmy's last stab at psychedelia" and said the strings were inspired by the kind of arrangements Tony Visconti was doing with T.Rex...
This song is a very under rated gem. Glad you enjoyed it! The guys had a wide range of musical interests, the instrumentation of this song influenced a bit by east Indian music. In fact, Plant and Page recorded a version of it with musicians from Bombay, which can be found on bootleg recordings, but for the album, they played the instruments themselves. The entire album doesn't maintain this specific sound, although it is more acoustic based than the first two.
A favourite of mine. The lyrics, the instrumentation, just sublime!!
My favourite album …I love this tune coming after The Immigrant Song and I like the creepy transition into Celebration Day another fantastic track- I think the transition sounds like a plane and it reminds me of the hot English summer in the countryside in 1976 .
Led Zeppelin III is basically a complete departure from everything you've heard before. Very much more acoustic based album
Thanks to Roy Harper.
The back story on this album is that, after almost non-stop touring for over a year, Robert Plant reserved a cottage in the Welsh Mountains where his family had often gone when he was a boy. It is called Bron Y Aur in Welsh. The rest of the band were invited, but JPJ and Bonzo declined. So Robert and Jimmy, along with Robert’s wife, daughter, (and dog….mustn’t forget Strider the dog) and Jimmy’s lady friend went up to the cottage for a month or so. No electricity. Very Spartan. Robert and Jimmy both brought acoustic guitars along, and they would go for walks, or sit around the campfire. They were inspired by the beauty of the setting…..and unwound from all the stress of the past year. This album is the result….much more “pastoral” is the term Robert has used for Zep III….bringing in influences from their British folk tradition as well as Moroccan and Indian music.
The correct spelling in Welsh is Bron-yr-Aur. It ended up as Bron-y-Aur on one song title on one album, but that was a goof. The Welsh "yr" (which means "the") can be spelled "yr" or "y" or even "'r" but it would never be "y" in front of a vowel.
Number 3 album is my favourite from Zeppelin...I like the slower softer stuff.
This was their 3rd album in less than 2 years, and playing through them one can hear their rapid evolution & experimentation; from blues & psychedelia, to folk & progressive rock. It all builds to their masterpiece 4th album (& no less impressive 5th & 6th albums). It's a stunning string of releases. This 3rd album is the clear turning point, indicating the direction they would follow for the rest of their time as a band (& beyond, really).
We can't allow him to skip a reaction to "Stairway" when he gets to IV, way to important a song and he didn't react well (not understanding the evolution I suspect), I have suggested he do the live version from MSG in 1973 as a substitution to the studio track, but strongly feel he needs to listen again!
On the album the great ending of this song went right into “Out On The Tiles”…A great transition from one song to the other,just like “Heartbreaker” transitioned into “Living Loving Maid”.
Brilliant! By going through the albums you're finding lots of great songs that nobody else reacts to. Love Gallows Pole on this one
the end rolls into celebration day. id argue they should be played together
It's probably the most folk and different from all the other album, they are incredibly versatile. There is a couple that are rock, blues, folk and the last one is very much influenced by early last century music
This is also the album on which Plant considers he came into his own as a lyricist. He commented in one interview that he considered "That's the Way" to be the first song he thought to be lyrically competent.
More Northern Africa than Middle Eastern. The band visited there often
Robert Plant loved the American folk rock music scene! 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
He did indeed……also his own British folk tradition, which really influenced this album.
I love this album and this second song really indicates a change from the first two albums.
This song bleeds into the next song Celebration Day on the album. Definitely a turning point for Zeppelin to a more Middle Eastern sound that they would further explore in songs like Kashmir or In The Light.
My guess, that would be a meletron, it has recorded sounds and JPJ played it. This whole album is more acoustic. I love this particular song!
One of those hidden gems I told you about in the very beginning.
John Paul Jones also plays the three neck acoustic guitar
He plays mandolin on this track. And JPJ never played guitar in Zeppelin. Jimmy had a three neck, with mandolin on top. JPJ did, I believe, post Zeppelin.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 JPJ did play guitar with Zeppelin... He had a custom made Manson triple-neck acoustic which had a mandolin, 12-string and 6-string, which he used during live performances of Battle of Evermore and Ten Years Gone (just to name two). Also, there is no mandolin on 'Friends', JPJ plays cello, violin and synth (with just a touch of grand piano way back).
This album wasn't embraced by Zeppelin fans, they thought it was too "folkie" for the most part, but there are some exceptional tunes here.
It was embraced by me!
I liked side 1 at lot, less so side 2 but it wasn't too folkie for me. I just didn't care for the songs as much, except maybe Bron-Y-Aur Stomp.
@@juliemanarin4127 Me too. I was 17 and thrilled by this sound.
please, Sal, Re-listen to Immigrant Song LIVE. There is one live performance on video…….It is video from their 1972 Australian tour matched with sound from LA Forum the same year. You will get a wonderful solo by Jimmy…..and the power of the band on full display. Since you listened to several songs before you started your full discography, I would suggest that those you have already listened to……do a live version. I think you only listened to three……Stairway and Achilles being the other two?
He has to do the studio version of "Stairway" for sure since he couldn't understand why it holds the rank it does in the history of Rock and this band when he reacted to MSG 1973 live performance, we all know the studio cut is not what they did live.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Salvo, the band was largely against the release of singles (and never did release one in the UK) but there were a few released in the US (at the insistence of Atlantic Records). One of them was the "Immigrant Song" (the first track on Led Zeppelin III). The B side of this 45 is the song "HEY, HEY WHAT CAN I DO?" also recorded in 1970 but did not appear on the album release, I strongly suggest you add this song in while doing Led Zeppelin III as it was not included with any album until much later in 1990 with the release of "Led Zeppelin Boxed Set" and again with the CD release of "Coda" in 1993 but it did NOT appear on the original release of this album (this original release of this album was in 1982 after the death of John Bonham to honor contractual commitments to Atlantic Records and is a collection of tracks spanning the length of Zeppelin's twelve-year history) but "Hey Hey What Can I Do" had radio play back in 1970 so your followers who were listening then know it well and it's a track you should hear (Page and Plant did include it in live sets during the 1990's).
Not a violen it's a Mandolin John Paul Jones playing
Sounds like CSN&Y!
It's the Egyptian Orchestra
Are you sure? This was 1970, and I thought they recorded this with musicians in Bombay……I thought their work with Egyptians came a bit later.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 There was a recording of this song with musicians in Bombay but it didn't make the album. The guys played all the instruments on the album track themselves. Plant and Page did jam with Egyptian/Moroccan musicians and a couple of the songs were included on their No Quarter album, but that wasn't until about 1994. I seem to recall they also did some live performances of those songs with an Egyptian orchestra, but I don't recall anything similar to that happening any earlier than 1994. Edit: My apologies for butting in but thought I'd share what I think I know. ;)
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 You're right, a bit early for the Egyptian Orchestra
I don't think you should skip any song going through the albums just because you did it earlier, then they are out of context! If you skip "Stairway" when you get to IV it probably will not go over well at all, specially since you couldn't appreciate its importance to the development of the music scene and this band at the time. I strongly suggest if you DO listen to the studio version again, it is different from what you reacted to in the live version, for starts Jimmy plays acoustic in the studio release.
2 minutes in never mind
Sal, people get cranky only if you pause too much. Some reactors think we we want to hear their every thought in real time and pause a song four or more times. That’s just annoying. One, or at most two pauses is OK, although I will say that most of the reactors I actually sub to do not pause. But it’s your channel…….and I love what you’re doing. The major rule is never pause during a guitar solo……or when the music is obviously building to a climax. I think reactors that do that just don’t respect the music. You do.
Never during a Page solo, or in the middle of Plant belting out a tune. hahaha
