      Saw Led Zep in Cincinnati on Tues April 19th and Weds April 20th 1977. Best concert i ever saw. Was 18 yrs old, senior in H.S. Everybody skipped school that day to drive from Dayton to go see the show. Detention was worth it. Bonham WAS the best drummer ever. Some say Neil Pert, but i say John.

    It's harmonica with reverb added when the harmonica track was isolated and played backwards. Then Page reversed the track again so the reverb comes in front of the notes, not behind. Awesome effect.

    When I was growing up.. my parents and aunts and uncles and their friends all listened to Zeppelin. I had no idea the genius that I was hearing. At least not until I was older and understood every facet. This from someone who primarily listened to hip hop and rap. It just shows that any fan of Pac, Meth & Red, Nas, Busta... and so on... could also be a fan of Zeppelin.

    A levee is literally a long row of dirt and rock piled up along the river. Lower Mississippi River has levees on both sides of the river to keep annual flood water from invading bottom land along the river. During excessive rains a levee breaks or the water flows over the levee flooding homes and farms along the river. Levees are maintained federally by Army Corps of Engineers.

    Young Black people discovering the Blues. This is a great song performed masterfully. But don’t forget to explore the full art form. It’s your heritage, Black people. Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, W.C Handey and in and on and on. Discover the people who made it possible for white guys from Britain to make a pile of money off more than a little appropriation.

      That’s about the only negative comments that you could make about this band - that they didn’t give credit where credit was due & that they could’ve also more than afforded royalties to the original masters.
      Not that they didn’t use the originals as inspiration to times it by 100 ( or 1,000) ... but there were many originals that they used w/o the proper recognition that shoulda been shown.
