The Making Of In Through the Out Door: Episode 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2022
- The road to In Through The Out Door led me to research every detail about the record. The episode discusses my personal experience discovering the album, the state of play for Led Zeppelin in 1978 and the elements that made up the sound on the final product: the Yamaha GX-1 and Polar Studios.
These videos take time and some family members of mine are worried about my hermit lifestyle while editing. I appreciate if you can support me on Patreon @ / calvomonturiol so i can keep creating entertaining content for you :)

Thank you,
Once in a while a person will find a great documentary. Another time a person will a great musician or artist. This is one of those very rare times a person finds all three. Well done.
Thank you very much, i am humbled and grateful by your words! Hope you like the next episodes. Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great. I would like to ask you if you can please subscribe so my family doesn't get worried i invest so much time making these hehe. I really appreciate your support!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories This is my fav Led Zep album. Fool in the Rain is my favorite song. The arrangements, guitar, drums are just great. All the best to u! Subscribed!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Hi JCM. I have a copy of this record with the song list reading "Foll In The Rain"
Hey JCM ✌️ I'm just another guy who, like you, is also a big Led Zep fan. And I have to say what a great job you've done putting this together. Fantastic! And thanks so much!
; gm
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT A BAND I'VE EVER SEEN!! I am transfixed. Just for my own personal copy (not to distribute or anything), I've burned a Blu-ray with the 7 episodes and am watching it now in my home theater. It is stunning. Amazing work, my friend.
IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR is my first Zeppelin album. Just an accident. I was blown away instantly by IN THE EVENING. PRESENCE is still my favorite Zep album...but IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR is up there. And frankly, I listen to the three left-over songs (from CODA) as if they're part of IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR. These ten songs show so many shades of the band...as PHYSICAL GRAFFITI did. And when people try and claim the band "softened" at the end, just take one listen to WEARING AND TEARING.
I've read 20 books on Led Zeppelin. I have all the pro-shot shows that have surfaced on Blu-ray or DVD. I have a great HD collection of their 8mm concert clips. And yet, I'm learning so much about this band just from this documentary. It is BEAUTIFULLY done.
I applaud you, JCM. I cannot wait to see more. I will soon give a donation as well.
Amen, wearing and tearing is hands down my go to zeppelin song
lucky you. Zep rules! ha
Dude, you've got some serious game. That's stunning guitar playing.
Thank you very much Karl! I appreciate it. Hope you like the next episodes :)
No kidding! Very nice playing.
Totally agree, sublime guitar playing 💯👍
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories The tone sounds more Zappa-ish in the segment starting around 4:02. Indeed, very nice chops.
@@mikel5582 wow thank you!!!! I just got Zappa CARNEGIE HALL 1971's 3CD set so i am honored to read this! :) long live rock and roll!
By far and away my favourite Led Zeppelin album. A brilliant record. John Paul Jones deserves so much credit.
You're kidding, right?
This album put a spell on me in 1979/80 and made me obsessed with drums. Changed my life. I fell asleep each night with the 8-track tape playing wearing headphones. When Bonham died I was listening. It was 1988 before I heard the 1st album. Every album is so very different.
Glad you enjoyed this very special episode. Thank you very much for watching. Stay tuner for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
"I'm gonna crawl" still sleighs me... In Through The Out Door is a great album, thanks for this video and you sir have a new subscriber!
True and also Carouselambra is the perfect driving song.
Thank you Joe i appreciate it. Hope you like the rest of the series. Cheers to Carouselambra!!
Ya I agree. Some of Robert’s best vocals ever on “I’m Gonna Crawl”. Such a perfect finish to a brilliant album.
@@FoamySlobbers A good gardening song too.
Yes finally some attention on Thia album
And yes Joe Y
I'm all with You on I'm Gonna Crawl!
I rarely get sucked into 19 minutes of anything.....but I do have a deep love of Zeppelin ...and my intrigue left me no choice, as well the superb editing, to be absorbed into this insightful and enlightening journey
: ditto! 👍🏼
These videos are an obvious labor of love, that's why they are beautiful, heartfelt and have a depth not often seen in youtube videos.
Thank you very much, my obsession with this album is what's really turned this channel into a community i treasure :)
I'm a huge JPJ fan so I really like this record. A quick story: I used to work at guitar center in Boston. One day I came into work and my coworkers, who knew I was a fan, informed me that JPJ had come in the day before, about 30 minutes after I went home.
In 1976 when I was ten years old - I was a beginning guitarist and I was a Led Zeppelin phreak. I remember when this vinyl LP came out; not only were their six different sleeves - but you could water color the white ones. Remember that anyone? Hypnosis was their Sleeve/gatefold design company. I can't believe I came across this documentary. Thank you so much. "Presence" was for me what "In Through The Out Door" was for you. You are an incredible guitarist.
My introduction to Led Zeppelin in 1972 - in 5th grade we still had “Show ‘n Tell” and a fellow student brought in an album. He put the album on the single speaker record player, set the rpm’s to 33 1/3 (I think), dropping the needle and out of the speaker came “Hey mama see the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove…” The teacher immediately yelled “TAKE THAT OFF”…no more Zeppelin that day but I was hooked ever since.
funny
Booo... Booo. Bad teacher
These kids today..............
Haha my dad had a similar experience. Only he brought the song remains the same live. Teacher skipped through a few sections and took it off and put his ELO record back on LOL
@@marshallgibson8872 TSRTS is my favorite recording ever.
Led Zeppelin will always be my favorite rock band. Thank you so much for respecting Led Zeppelin's music and performing Jimmy Page's guitar work so damn well 👏👏👏👏👏
THE GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY.. PERIOD
Not even close.
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band..
all right, i'm 5:27 in and this is already the greatest thing i've ever seen on UA-cam.
I've had this album for 35 years and I've probably not played it for 30.
You've just encouraged me to listen to it again. Loud. Very.
Thanks for that.
Cheers!!!! This makes me very happy, lets celebrate this KILLER ALBUM! I appreciate your comment. Please subscribe :)
One of my favourite albums. Bonham and Baldwin are my two favourites in the band. The timing and the groove.
Bonham and Baldwin Law Firm hehe. Better caul them...for SERIOUS GROOVE Litigation!
Why would anyone trash that great Led Zep album? It has 3 of their most recognizable hit songs on it! “In The Evening,” “Fool In The Rain,” and “All My Love.” As well as bouncy boppers like “South Bound Saurez, “Hot Dog,” “Carouselambra” and the deeply bluesy “I’m Gonna Crawl,” the album is a very tight, historically important final studio piece of the band’s art…
im gonna crawl is so powerful and emotinal. just brilliant.
People are closed-minded by and large. Anything different scares them.
The biggest critics are the ones who have never walked the shoes..
Your brainwashed by it..have a real listen
In through the outdoor is a great album
Your playing was just incredible. The subtleties of Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page’s sound in particular. You get it.
Thank you very much, i really appreciate it as my guitar journey has been a lot of life lessons beyond sheetmusic or practice...its all about feeling the songs! Hope you like the next episodes. Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great. I would like to ask you if you can please subscribe so my family doesn't get worried i invest so much time making these hehe. I really appreciate your support! Stay tuned for Episode 2.
I absolutely *LOVE* In Through The Out Door!
Wow, great video! In Through The Outdoor has been my favorite Led Zeppelin album for a long time. Carouselambra is the reason it is my favorite album. The 2nd part of the song with Page's guitar sound is incredible. Robert Plant's singing was starting to sound his best.
I was discovering Zeppelin in 1984 while my classmates were getting into Run DMC . The only current band I liked at that time was the Police and they were over the heads of most 13 year olds . I knew Zeppelin were superior to the shit on the radio in 1984. I scoffed when people suggested that any Mtv band was in their league. I knew what I heard on their albums was next level stuff. I kinda hoped that eventually some band would come along that could match them for versatility and move me like they could , but so far it still hasn't happened.
When I first heard the Police it blew my mind too., and I was probably 15yrs old?
@@psychonautpupildiallater7734 Yep at the time I really didn't grasp how skilled they were with their instruments but I knew they sounded great and looked cool .
@@Cincinnatus1869 40 years later and Stewart Copeland is still one of my favorite drummers! Cheers!
@@psychonautpupildiallater7734 I read in book about John Bonham that he took his young sister to a Police show and they went backstage afterward to meet the band. John praised Copeland and told Sting he would step on his head 😆
Every Zep album is a master piece chronicaling the career of the greatest band and guitarist ever. I was privileged to see them at Knebworth in 79, which was shortly after In Through The Outdoor was released. At the time friends said the new album was a bit funky, but they were wrong, it was another progression. Led Zeppelin never rested on their laurels.
I have the knebworth gig on a vinyl bootleg - not great sound quality but just feels almost like you’re there
This is an excellent documentary, I cant believe you found all this information an this overlooked time in Zeppelin history. Great job!
Consider myself the biggest fan of this greatest band of all time….and was waiting with baited breath for each release…..so what I can tell you about that last record is the difference and the shame was based around JP having sunken into the full depths of heroin addiction….so the other three had to step it up…especially JPJ….so it’s different sounding and not entirely a JP vision like the previous records….the sad truth is JP cleaned up just as the tour dates were beginning but then JB dies….so there you have….JP went back on the spike for another couple few years and frankly was never the same player as in the early days….much of this is why RP never agreed to and sort of a reunion…..all very sad….but aren’t we glad that this best ever band existed….they are the most influential ever….they simply permeated into the brains of the 70s youth like no other band…..
They used to have a showing of the song remains the same at a local movie theater in the late 70's every Friday and Saturday night in Baltimore Maryland. It was an old school theater...big...held about 400-500. It was sold out every weekend until the crowds got so unruly and violent they had to cut it out. There were motorcycle gangs and rumors of chainsaw fights and the whole bit. But zeppelin was huge and the entire catalog was the soundtrack of life to many fans. In through...was a great album. Some critics dismissed it but perhaps because some of the other work was so prolific. But most fans love it to this day. I sill get that zeppelin buzz every time I hear fool....bonzos shuffle groove and the midtune samba breakdown is still talked about as one of the most interesting drum parts ever created. And even though Jimmy was not in top form.....he blows it out as his usual self. But that album is the end of it. After that the music died.... as Don McLean sang....I think zeppelin was smart enough to respect Bonham and let the zeppelin legacy and mystique live on the way they have. A few performances here and there and the show with Jason Bonham was excellent but no formal tour as zeppelin. I'm sad about that but also totally ok with it. Long live the mighty zeppelin.
yep.
As a Zeppelinologist for 40 years, I can attest that you are spot on.
If only Pagey & Bonzo would have stayed of the drugs & alcohol.........😢😭
Very well-produced video that I enjoyed watching. As a life-long Zeppelin fan, I respected and appreciated "In Through the Outdoor" because of its diversity. You didn't hear hardly any rock acts during that time with a country song (Hot Dog), a tribute-type ballad (All My Love) and a soul song (I'm Gonna Crawl) all on one album. It was a very gutsy and ambitious album that, in my opinion, should get more recognition.
Agreed, and although it may be blasphemy to some on here, the only other band who could pull off country, ballad and soul in an album would be The Rolling Stones. I remember when ITTOD came out as a Freshman in High School. It was different and great, I really enjoyed it, even to this day, it's one of my favorite albums due to its range. It was a sad day when I learned that JB had died and the group disbanded.
I never get tired of videos like this. Looking forward to episode 2. Thanks from Colorado.
Thanks for putting this together, JCM! I'm another in the long line of kids who first discovered Zeppelin from an older sibling only to go down the rabbit hole on my own as a 12-year-old kid with his first guitar in hand. I was super fortunate that when I picked up the vinyl for In Through The Out Door, it was still being sold in the brown paper bag which I have to this day and am exceptionally grateful for. This would have been around 1986 and all the Zep vinyl was still available - gosh how I loved getting my hands on the Physical Graffiti LP and my Zep III even had the spinning wheel so you can see all the different artwork that was put on the cover. You just can't replicate that with CDs and definitely not nowadays with digital. Spinning the album's on the record player and listening to all these classic tracks from the world's greatest band while holding the album's liner notes in hand? Yeah - I will cherish those memories forever.
As far as In Through The Out Door goes, I had a friend in middle school that absolutely was nuts for In The Evening. I remember we would just sit there dumbstruck whenever Page came in with the whammy bar at the beginning of the solo. And those steel drums at the intro! And JPJ! What's there to say? This was JPJ's baby, and it would have been amazing to see where the band could have taken things afterwards. Poor Bonzo - G-d rest his soul and may he forever be laying down the groove.
I relate to this 100% the feeling of a tangible product! Great story i pictured the time and space for sure! Thanks for the good vibes and hopefully you'll dig the new episodes! Rock and Roll!
Amazing, can't wait for ep. 2!
Ready for this? My favorite band, but this....sit down...my favorite album. I played the hell out of it when it came out. It's Jonesy's moment, but Page does so many things that on guitar that I feel really exposed a part of him that was born from his young days listening to Scotty Moore, and Link Wray, and his skiffle youth. Them there was this beautiful shade to all of it. "I'm Gonna Crawl", has one of the most effective guitar solos of all time with just a few notes.
Absolutely! Jimmy's work shines in a different way that just shows his versaility and well..he wasnt a session man for nothing back in the 60s. Thank you so much for tuning in!
"In Through The Out Door" was released when I was in high school. It didn't sound like a Led Zeppelin album so I remember a lot of people rejecting it. I didn't reject it. I really liked the fresh sound and songs. Carouselambra and Fool In The Rain are great! I still frequent the album to this day. Thanks for the background.
I love that you didn't reject this album i own 39 copies of it now. Waiting on my music dealer to bring copy #40 hehe.
Starting a the 7:00 until 13:00 This is six minutes of backstory and setup that is simply amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 concise, efficient and accurate, I love it.
Thank you Justin i appreciate it! Hope you enjoy the series, Episode 6 premieres tomorrow. If you haven't please subscribe so i can keep posting these videos :)
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories congrats man! 200k view for part one already, that’s huge!
This is deep and amazing
This was the first one that I bought the day it was released. I don't think I was more excited to buy any album.
Thank you for putting this together for all of us to watch and enjoy
Most excellent! I listen in awe to ITTOD a few times a year. Brings back so many great memories and is the background for new ones.
This FANTASTIC album had a mixture of EVERY other Zeppelin album. What could have been without Bonham's death .🤗🤗
Coda, right? ha ha just kidding. Cheers to all Zep heads.
The album was a huge commercial success; it went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in just its second week on the American chart. It also went to No. 1 in the UK, Canada, and New Zealand. (wiki)
Watching it all again Jose…thank you again for your great compilation of this piece of time!
Wow thank you Greg! I appreciate it! Hope you like the first episode of Post Zepp 1981-1989 premieres this Saturday :)
Thank you for your time you've made this wonderful zeplines in this clip.
Great to seeing & hearing your influences.
👏
Carouselambra and In the Evening are spectacular.
Carouselambra is like 3 songs in one.
Yes. Reefer madness...
@@LoneLee2022 Listen to "Im gonna Crawl". Probably one of Page's most underrated guitar solo. Incredible!
@@r5156c I love it.......................pure blues..................
@@dmyt-fr You can't say that in Gov. DeSatan's Florida.
Incredible insights.
Finally ‼️
I was a Zeppelin historian ( wrote papers in college and high school- 1984 pre internet - Whole Lotta Magazines !)
Since I was 15 years old .
Every book, magazine at one point or another.
I always wondered what the deal was towards the end. Robert will has like one sentence in one of his Digging Deep shows (awesome) about going on his own to Morocco to make Music -dur8ng his ankle break- "Presence" era.
Jimmy kind of does too.
And of course the Plan Page shows without Jonesy.
Backstage of the Rock and roll Hall of Fame induction.
JPJ walks in...
Roberts hello to him is kind of kind of weird ..
Not into salacious gossip bukkshit.
The history and band dynamics shaping the creativity of the best band ever is the point.
This video is really is great revealing stuff.
thank you
wow
So glad to see someone is as obsessed about this album as I am. It was their "Swan Song". I fell in love with this album after Hurricane Frederick knocked out our power for 2 1/2 weeks in 1979 and all we had to listen to was a radio. The songs from this album were in pretty heavy rotation and I just kind of had the music implanted in my 8 year old brain. I kind of forgot about the music into my middle school years, then Fell in love with Robert Plant's solo tunes in High School. When I rediscovered Led Zep and In Through the Out Door, it was like I had found an old friend that I hadn't seen in 10 years. The album is now my favorite of ALL the studio albums.
One of my favs Led Zepp records; thank you for taking your time making this video 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Interesting fact about the inner sleeve (at least in my original copy of the album): If you apply a little water on it you will see color emerging from the black and white sketch!
True. I got mine wet accidently and noticed it.
I knew this and deliberately never applied water. My copy has never been played.
Add that to putting the inside cover of Zep IV to a mirror and seeing the Black Dog
Always liked ITTOD. Seemed polished, melancholy, mature and authentic for the band given the year and that they'd been churning out music and touring for 12 years by then.
True statement. Also for all the band had been through up to that time to go along with your melancholy comment
I’ve watched just 6:00 of your documentary and I am hooked. Job well done. Bravo, my friend!
Thank you Rick! I appreciate it! I've released up to Episode 5. Next one premieres this Saturday Sept 17th. Long Live Led Zeppelin!!!
Excellent video, really looking forward to part 2.
What Led Zeppelin did between 69 and 79 can never be achieved again. Their music will forever be timeless.
I've got several of Led Zeppelin's 1980 Tour Over Europe shows on crystal clear soundboard. They rock like hell.
I turned 9 years old the same month that In Through the Out Door was released, so it is the only Zep original studio album I remember from when it was new. When I first saw Plant in 1988, I was overjoyed when he played In the Evening, and even more so when I saw Page/Plant play it in 1995. I've always loved this album, so thank you for this documentary!
Me too I absolutely love on through the out door always have, I was 13 when it came out. most people piss on it I still don't understand that!! It sold 3 million in the first month in the U.S. somebody liked it!!
Same here only saw Plant on Now And Zen
At LA forum
Freshman year of high school
My Dad just supported my love for music, even though Zep wasn't is cup of tea, He appreciated what they are to rock History.
Page and Plant in 96, still have that shirt and The 88
Yeah its really tiny now;)
Just before high school, that's when I really became a huge Zep, Who, Yardbirds and of course EC and Beck
Freak
This needed to be done, you have done it very well, this great, thank you. Back in rock's golden years, there was Led Zeppelin and then there was the rest of the bands, that's how it was.
Thanks for posting this ! Simply an awesome display of the mighty Zeppelin's diversity !
My older brother bought this album and I remember listening to it in junior high. Being into Zep already as well as alternative and prog rock, I loved it immediately. It melded the new technology with the deep well of soul that Zep draws from. Another interesting fact about the album cover inner sleeve is that it was chemically treated to turn color when water was applied to it making each inner sleeve a unique water color artwork. Just genius.
By the way you are a gifted performer. I love singing Zep. Would be an honor to collab on a cover.
Thank you very much! Hope you like the next episodes. Your appreciation for the album is spot on. May i ask where did you find about the documentary? Want to know where to promote it :). The response has been overwhelming. And regarding a collab That would be cool! Any particular songs you have in mind? Lets do it!
And there were 5 different covers.................😗
@@LoneLee2022 The Police' s Syncronicity had something like 20.
@@williamnorthrup2335 No they had 5 different covers too. Just like Genesis ABACAB.😁
In Through The Out Door was an amazing album. Bought it on cassette in Penang, Malaysia 1979 just before flying to India/Sri Lanka. Seemed to fit so well with travelling the length of India on 2nd class Indirail and living on a houseboat in Shrinagar....while sampling the local polm. 😉
Had to subscribe. All the effort you put into this great Zeppelin knowledge. I just watched Part 2 and it's as great as I knew it would be.
I’ve been listening to ITTOD every night for the last three weeks, really getting into it in a way I never had before. So your timely posting of this just three days ago is more than serendipity; it’s synchronicity.
I am glad to read this. MUSIC IS THE ENERGY that brings people together. The album has so many layers its just a kick ass record. Thank you very much ! Hope you like the next episodes. Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great.

I absolutely love every second of Outdoor. Such a great album with some of Jimmy’s best most exciting solo’s. Every solo on side one is brilliant! Bonham’s drumming is top notch and I love Roberts more mature voice and lyrics. And of course JPJ’s contributions.
I have all six album covers and the deluxe box set along with my original album from 1980. And a few Japanese versions…. which are my favs! I also love Zeppelin live in 79 and the Over Europe Tour. Some of the audience recordings are great.
I’m sure you already have these books but if you don’t check out Dave Lewis two books on the band in 79 and their 80’s tour. Both books are brilliant!!
Great episode. Looking forward to part 2. Subscribed!
Cheers ✌️❤️🎸
I really appreciate your comment. Absolutely agree on the maturity of Plant's voice like he finally learned how to use his "new color". The Japanese pressings are awesome, which ones do you have? Lewis' books are a treat for sure. I dug them big time. Thank you for watching episode 1, i've really put a lot pf effort to it. Let's keep the Zepp flame alive!!!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories

Absolutely. Jimmy's explanation of the capabilities of the Fender Stratocaster and the guitar synth are on full display.

Nice to see it getting its due, In Through The Outdoor was always one my my favourites--especially Carouselambra. It was a big hit as far as I was concerned, rock radio regularly played Fool in the Rain and All My Love. The album was a huge step forward for the band and improvement on the over-rated/mediocre Presence. Great production! Only one thing--lose the artificial English-accent lady. It is distracting from the good material you put together. Plus your voice is perfect for the narration.
Totally man! Somehow the first song I heard when dropping the needle on the album was this (instead of Side A) and fucking LOVEDIT to this day, in my book they should’ve sacked ‘Fool in the rain’ for ‘Wearing and tearing’!!
"" the over-rated/mediocre Presence" One of my favourites.Still. I read Jimmy loves it as wel.
@@jonblackers4339 presence is the best produced Zep album to this day. It’s a grown zeppelin playing their style the best it could possibly get. Hard to top that pinnacle they reached.
@@alexotaola Sacked Fool in the Rain!? Listen to Bonzo's drums carefully and then tell me that!
His drumming on this track is phenomenal!
@@beatlesrgear totally agree man and Jeff Porcaro also does! Big time LZ fan hear... it's just what-if-thinking... on another video you see people saying 'The Rover' should have been part of 'Houses of the Holy' instead of 'D'yer m'ker' and somehow I would agree with that too. Not disrepecting Bonzo but somehow wondering what the effect of the overall album would have been.
Another night another zep video !!! 🤘🏼
Thanks for your hard work
In Through the Out Door was the only Zeppelin album I was old enough to wait for and buy when it came out. It was a huge influence on me.
This was my first exposure to Led Zepplin. It was like my 3rd Album ever. Still my favorite Zepplin ever. Sad because I knew it was the last one too.
Brilliant work, thanks for your efforts to recast a piece of work that has been considered Zep's weakest material for decades. Far from it, this record stands alone in their discography as the culmination of all the members talents equally, and is much more than the sum of its parts. It holds a special place in my emotional memory, being a teenager about to graduate high school in '80 and about to enter a new exciting chapter in my life. It was a worthy soundtrack for that time, "not your big brother's Zeppelin", that's for sure!
Thank you very much Michael! Hope you like the next episodes. May i ask where did you find about the documentary? Want to know where to promote it :). The response has been overwhelming. Please subscribe so my family doesnt get worried i am like a hermit working these videos jeje.
This video just popped up in my daily feed, so the algorithm may have recognized that I have a Zeppelin playlist folder attached to my profile.
Yes, will subscribe for more of the great content you're producing; just don't neglect your playing though, don't want your skills to diminish!
I go back so far I had their first five albums on 8 track tapes. Regrettably I never saw them live, it just never worked out for me but I did see Plant & Page twice in the 90s. As for this doc, I can't wait for your next episode, I was spellbound.
came here after having seen all the episodes for Houses Of The Holy. I really miss your soothing and calm narration on this earlier video that made your houses of the holy trilogy even more special.
Thank you Marcus, i had Covid when working these, and because i wanted to meet the August 15th deadline and anniversary for the album, i had to go with my British friend :)
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thank you for getting back to me. I found out in episode 3 (just finished binging...). As a lot of other comments stated as well, this is an outstanding piece of work. Thank you so much. And I love your guitar playing !!
I am glad to welcome you to the channel. This all started with In Through the Out Door. Currently i own 39 copies of it hehe. The response these videos got back in 2022 surprised me and here i am, working new scripts and all. Thank you for watching :)
This was cool and you have a good story- and you absolutely kick ass on the guitar. As for In Through the Out Door, it's a shame your research didn't yield a lot of information. Honestly, I would think there would be volume upon volume of information online about this album. I was 12 years old when it was released in 1979 and I remember it being a BIG deal with lots of hype, publicity everywhere you looked, excellent reviews, and "All My Love" and "In the Evening" getting unending airplay every time you turned on FM radio. Mind you, this is before the days of the internet, so all that publicity I spoke of was radio, TV, magazines, word of mouth, and advertisements/displays in music stores. But it was, indeed, everywhere. Bottom line is I don't think this album has gotten the bad rap you seem to think it has. All these decades later, it may not be looked at with the same reverence as IV or II, but I don't think there is any Led Zep fan that doesn't consider it a classic.
Stay tuned for the other 6 episodes in which all the information on the album is revealed :)
He obviously didn't look or read the right books and magazines In all my literature on Zep mentions In through the out Door very odd
Everything you said, except I was 15 when it came out.
" But it was, indeed, everywhere. " Maybe in America,I was told by a cousin that went to see relatives of ours in New Jersey.She brought me wallsize poster of LZ.Told me at fairs classicrock was played as if it was normal.Not here in the Netherlands were we hadto listen to DISCO.
@@jonblackers4339 You make a good point. The album was certainly hyped in the US but I can understand it may not have been in the Netherlands.
A firm understanding of the nature of the personalities of Led Zeppelin is really necessary to understand the evolution of their sound. The first two albums were, of course, blues based, a reflection of their backgrounds in blues music. Beyond that, it's important to realize that all four members of the band were never content to continue playing the same thing over and over. They didn't have a "niche". They were constantly exploring and pushing the envelope. It was only natural that more synth driven sounds would appear as time wore on. To me that path seemed only logical. Robert has frequently stated in interviews that if he isn't doing something new, he's not interested. It's the main reason that he was not on board with the reunion tour. He doesn't want to be a jukebox act. With this in mind, you can sit and listen to Led Zeppelin to In Through the Out Door in chronological orde and see a natural progression which is quite natural, especially if you are aware of the events that were affecting the personal lives of the members of the band at the time.
It may be cynical but true that Robert revisits Led Zeppelin whenever he has a new project as Page once said , being more than aware of status as part of Zeppelin to promote sales. A Led Zepplin reunion wouldn’t offer him much , but he’d have fat chance of having made it solo without them. JPJ is very easy to overlook ,but with Bonzo had added to Pages intricacies so much , the intricacies & subtlety of which is the one thing I find cover bands usually miss so much.
@@Vaptomwen well this is true, but it wasn't always like that. I have an interview with him on David Letterman shortly after he released his first solo album, and he was very cagey when discussing what he referred to as "that other band", not wanting to even mention Led Zeppelin by name. Over the years I think he's come to terms with it. And as you noted, he does frequently borrow from the catalog. It's been an interesting journey from where he was to where he is now.
@@Vaptomwen I think his personal relationship with Bonham ran deeper than most people realize. He was deeply affected by his passing. I can pretty much guarantee that he was the one who ultimately said he was unwilling to go on without him. Not to sound callous or imply that he was not loved by Page and JPJ, but I think with their time as studio musicians behind them and adjusting to different lineups, they would have been willing to give it a go had Plant been on board. Remember too that Plant was just 20 when he joined the band, the same age as Bonham. Not that Page and Jones were that much older, but I think perhaps there was a stronger kinship between the two of them.
@@rbilleaud They didn’t continue because it was agreed they couldn’t. The band’s live performances were a sum of 10 years of live jams where they cued off each other. It would’ve been almost impossible to bring in a new drummer to learn “the feel”. Unless they chose to start over doing live shows playing near studio versions, and that was not what Led Zeppelin was.
@@rbilleaud The last few years of the bands time weren’t kind personally to Robert certainly. Professionally the band seem to be struggling at the same time , 77 tour reportedly a disaster & knebworth 79 a bit the same way. He is often reported to be safe when asked about the early years of the band.
Robert did once said he known jimmy for almost 50 years & he’s never known whether he & Peter grant ever came up from London look at any other singer
Great work! Looking forward for part two. I always loved the mood of the album, and I think it is underrated.
Wow, this documentary series is something special. Thank you!
Thank you D J! Appreciate it! Hope you dig the whole series!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thank you, Jose! Loved the complete series. The depth you explored each track is unmatched by any other Led Zep documentary. Please share, how many copies do you have now of In Through The Out Door?
You're guitar playing is insane! I want to hear more.
Check out the People's Front Of Zeppelin channel. That's him. It's more insane than you'd ever imagine.
It is their best album. For purists a difficult concept to comprehend. I saw them live on 5 July 1980. It was furious.
Purists can be trouble for sure. You saw them in Berlin? Wow! Please share your memories of the show! Thank you very much. Hope you like the next episodes. May i ask where did you find about the documentary? Want to know where to promote it :). The response has been overwhelming.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Your video was suggested by UA-cam. Which means you are doing something right.
I saw Led Zeppelin's second last show with John Bonham in Munich in 1980.
I was still a kid. When the concert started, I couldn't see much as everyone was taller than me.
A Hells Angels rocker spotted me and picked me up like a cat to put me on his shoulders.
I was about 10 meters from the stage and had the perfect view.
At the end of the show, the rocker scissored me back into the audience like a cat.
The concert was fantastic and loud. The next day the local newspaper commented: Led Zeppelin played the soundtrack of World War III.
@@bock-schroeder right it was Munich! Wow you mention Loud i can imagine Bonham's drums must have been explosive. You are so lucky! I appreciate you sharing your story. Hope the next batch of episodes keep your entertained. This was quite a task, from the script to editing...i am happy :)
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories For the encore, a riser with Simon Frederick's drums was pushed onto the stage. I'm not sure if it was a simple arrangement or if John Bonham had run out of breathe.
@@bock-schroeder this is fascinating! I havd Dave Lewis' Tour 1980 book and it does mention Bonham being a bit out of shape. Makes you wonder if he could have managed going back to the States for Winter 1980 and 1981 plans.
Thanks for bringing it home.
" In THROUGH The Out Door "
Is the most precious gem.
In the Zep catalogue.
" Presence " gets the same dark rap.
By critics.
And.
Idiots.
Alike.
Not knowing.
Nor caring.
GREAT SOLID MUSICIANSHIP.
If it slapped them
Upside their faces.
I owned both SwanSong vinyl releases.
Back in the '80s.
Rediscovered them recently.
After a 30+ year hiatus.
It's as though
I never let my addiction go
"In Through the Out Door" is still a Led Zeppelin album that is worthy of the band's name. It's got some good songs, even some great songs, like "All of My Love."
and...Fool In The Rain...
Hot Dog is no slouch! Technically, the solo is as demanding as any solo Page ever played.
A record store in my town was closing down in the late 80s and I was lucky enough to get in the backroom and salvage a bunch of stuff like concert posters etc before the demolition began. I scored an In through the Outdoor promo poster (the band standing out in a field). I love that album. Great video
Omg THAT PROMO poster is just EPIC. Lucky!! Wished i could get one hehe. Thank you for watching Episode 1. Hope you like the next one from the series!
A recording studio in Stockholm was closing in 2004, and I bought a bunch of the microphones used on the same album! Great video!
Thanks for video, my first Zeppelin album was Led zeppelin 3 also, I bought it in 78' at 13 years old and had been playing guitar for about a year. This band has always, even today, felt magical and mysterious. Although some times are sad, what an experience it must have been a lot of fun recording and touring, and being a member of Led Zeppelin. It's been a long time!
I just discovered your channel last night, it's amazing! Your videos are so cool and informative. I know Zep pretty well, but I have learned something in every video. Your detailed videos about the post breakup years are brilliant, my friend!!
I have a fever for Led Zep...and the only cure is your channel!!!!
Hehe i share the Zepp Fever for sure! I am working on new scripts as we speak in order to keep it up! Not an easy task with a day job like everybody else, but WORTH sharing the love for our heroes!
This album, to me, has the best drum sound of any LZ album.
Your thoughts?
Agreed. The isolated drum tracks to Fool in the Rain can be found on youtube, and they are amazing.
III and Physical Graffiti had the best drum sound.
Yes the drums are
I agree
Rick Beato does an analysis of Fool in the rain on his
What makes this sing great series
I often do the isolated tracks on Zep and others!
It's between Physical Graffiti, LZ 2, LZ 4 & Presence...John Bonham worked his ass on those albums too 👍
@@lucasoheyze4597
Agree on both as well
I often repeat the intro
The first few seconds of the Rover
That's a milestone for Me
Such attitude between His drum sound and the riff
I've read ITTOD described as "Plant's first solo album", and that sounds about right to me. Page and Bonham were reportedly too out of it to influence the sound, hence the soft, synthy blahness of much of the album. Would Led Zep have returned to greatness if Bonham had lived? Sadly, we'll never know.
I don't think jcm read this one. You just shit on his favorite album, and he liked your comment anyway.
Yes
Great video..! My best Zeppelin buddy bought this album the day of it’s release. I saw them in 1977.., BEST concert I’ve ever seen.., and at 61, I’ve seen them all !
.., just subscribed.
Great job, Jose! Well organized and well told.
Theres no Bad Led Zeppelin album. 😎
Just so you know, your British friend is a computer generated voice. I wouldn't recommend giving her your bank account details for payment.
Yes she is :) we have a digital relationship hehe
Bro finally someone talks greatness of in through man thank you, I always thought it was such incredible record man
I like it. Very nicely done. Looking forward to part 2.
Fascinating choice of subject and outstanding presentation. Thanks for sharing this
Well done. Got it for my 9th birthday 9/13/79 from my friend. There were two copies in the brown bag so he took one. 😀incredible album I think it’s as good or better than any of their others.
You had to be alive during that time to understand the shadow they cast during that time they were away. All the Foreigner, Heart, Aerosmith, etc was happening but all people wanted to know was … were they ever coming back? They were a supernatural force. No cable tv or social media. Their presence /absence was something people felt. Huge shadow. Intimidating yet majestic.
When the album came out I remember a kid next door like walking the street waving it and announcing “I’ve got it. It’s here.”
Thank you very much ! Almost Happy Birthday!! Hope you like the next episodes. Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great. I would like to ask you if you can please subscribe so my family doesn't get worried i invest so much time making these hehe. I really appreciate your support! Stay tuned for Episode 2.
Wow! You really moved me dude. It's just so refreshing to listen to someone like you, a true student of the mighty Led Zeppelin! When I was growing up, all the tough guys in the area were into Led Zeppelin. These tough guys put me onto Led Zeppelin. The first albums I bought were The Song Remains The Same & Volume Three. Since then, I've accumulated a massive collection, not only of Led Zeppelin, but also of all of their solo and collaborative projects. I also purchased scores of bootlegs and literally dozens of books and other publications
Thank you very much P Shaw ! Hope you like the next episodes. Knowing you are a collector and a fan!!! Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great.

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I already *subscribed* and I will tell all my UA-cam & Led Zeppelin friends about you! *I really love your passion for Led Zeppelin!* I'm so happy to meet people who really appreciate just how legendary Led Zeppelin were and continue to be. Led Zeppelin's legacy will continue until the end of time and their beautiful music will be played forever!
@@peteshaw7848 so good!!! Thanks man. Doing this documentary was really a personal project i just thought about "closing a chapter" sort to speak. Wanted to celebrate my love for the album in a country and music landscape that has been an uphill battle from day one. I am still shocked to see the response the video has had. Really grateful for this. I developed the script while at home with Covid i could barely talk without coughing thus why i use the British voice over lady. It really fills my heart with joy to know this video made your day better :) i wrote down many Zepp topics i wanna do videos on in the future!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories 😁 🤜🤛
Fool In The Rain is and always be one of the greatest LZ tracks. The Almighty Bonzo is untouchable on that one. All My Love is one I used to learn to play the drums on. That said, I will admit to sometimes overlooking the other tracks on ITHOD. I have listened to LZ since I was a kid and this doc makes me want to revisit this album. It's like looking up an old friend you haven't seen or thought of in a while. Thank you. Can't wait to see the other episodes.
I appreciate your words so much! Glad to read it got you back to ITTOD and learning All my Love is awesome, Bonham gave us a masterclass in Subtle Drumming. Hope the next episodes make you celebrate ZEPP at Volume 11. Please subscribe :) i am planning on doing Zepp's entire history!
well done man. im glad to see this, and this is where i got onboard as a 7 year old with a transistor radio.
Just found your channel, and I’m really enjoying your work. In Through The Out Door was the only Zeppelin album I heard when it was first put on the market (I was too young to hear the prior albums freshly released). I still find it fascinating, especially when you look at it as a series of directions that Zep potentially could have taken had Bonzo lived. And it’s a huge JPJ showcase.
Very well done JCM!! enjoyed part 1 and will watch part 2. I did a video few months back on why ITTOD gets no love. Seeing your love for the album brings a smile to my face. Led Zeppelin can do no wrong in my eyes and I am glad you have done this feature on them. I will be sharing these videos for sure. On to part 2 - cheers -VK
Thank you man i appreciate. Maybe we can have a call one day and discuss the album :) long live Zepp!
Thank you for this. We love you brother!
What a wonderful and unique documentary . Such a well read and written narrative too. 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work! A different angle on the album than normal. This album came out when I was 15. It hit deep and hard for me. I still feel it when I hear the keyboard intro to All of My Love. The whole album is a favorite of mine like it is for you. It has been seen in a better light as time has gone on. I lived it when it came out. You came in later, it's nice to know it hit you hard too.
Thank you very much ! Hope you like the next episodes. Its exciting to see how much love this album has among us fans The response has been great.

Holy shit. This is INCREDIBLE. as a hsrdcore zep fan for 45 years, this is a real treat. Eye thank yew
I appreciate your comment very much. Put my heart into this and i just cant believe the response it has had. Thank You :)
Superb doco! Thanks!!
i am a 58 yr old bonham drummer and feel that in thriugh the out door was a great album.they were evolving into the new "genera" with true zep style! 👍
Great job on this, zep has been my favorite band for over 40 years it is a lifelong addiction I'm afraid at least it has been for me!
I try yo listen to their music once a day.
Wow! Very impressive! Your video popped up on my feed and I decided to watch it because ITTOD is one of my favorite Zep albums, and it came out when I was 16, a junior in high school.
Fool in the Rain is one of my favorites for many reasons - some of JB’s best drumming on it and throughout the album. Have loved and been a Zep fan since 1975. Am an obsessed fan who never actually got to see them live. I was supposed to see them in Pittsburgh in November 1980. 😢 RIP John Bonham.
Enjoyed your video very much and have subscribed to your channel.
Thanks! ✌️
Thank you very much L Hobs! Hope you like the next episodes. May i ask where did you find about the documentary? Want to know where to promote it :). The response has been overwhelming. I visited Pittsburgh some years ago, got to visit Attic Records and Jerry's Records too. Loved the city. Lets keep the Zeppelin flame alive. Fool in the Rain is World music before it was a thing :)
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Delayed response…I discovered this documentary when it popped up on my feed. That’s when I decided to subscribe to your channel. I look at most, though not all things Zep, but yours is by far and away one of the more well researched and more enjoyable styles of writing that I have come across. Quite amazing! Your obsession feeds into your work in a very positive way. You obviously love what you’re doing! Just recently watched your Houses of the Holy documentary. A lot of info to take in, but thoroughly enjoyed it! Well done!! Looking forward to seeing your next installment. Cheers! 🙏🏻✌️
Wow!! What a cool video. Fantastic and excellent work.
