Keep in mind Robert is recording from a wheelchair from his bad accident. In constant pain & they weren’t sure he would walk again. Robert calls this the wheelchair album. I have to agree with you on Royal Orleans & really this whole album is criminally underrated ☮️
I’ve always liked the songs on this album, but the overall production feels a bit slapdash.
been almost forever since I heard this track
I have a feeling that you understand now why it’s so hard to pick real favorites for some of us. They are just so damn good, it’s more of a favorite today, will be something else tomorrow. I really like this album.
Robert sounding like Little Richard here…an ode too…
Bonham Bonham Bonham ..and a great riff by Pagey.
We had dinner at the Rib Room in the Royal Orleans hotel in the French Quarter. What a grand antebellum palace that place is. I can only imagine what the rooms are like, because unlike Zeppelin, I could not afford one.
While in New Orleans, we also hit up the Absinthe House Bar around the corner, which is depicted on the cover art of In Through the Out Door. Jimmy Page would jam there with Mason Ruffner when he was in town, and he fell in love with the place.
Spooky history of the Absinthe bar, an opium den where pirate Jean LaFitte would secretly meet with Andrew Jackson and arrange to smuggle arms and munitions which helped defeat the British in the War of 1812.
Those extra drums are Congas! Bigger than bongos. Super PHAT groove!
Presence is one of my favorite LZ albums! This song bounces! Those DRUMS, THO!!!
Royal Orleans was the name of the hotel the band would stay at in New Orleans. When the band went to New Orleans, they often went to the gay bars and drag shows because they wouldn't get hassled there as they would in other clubs. Some have said that the song is about John Paul Jones bringing back a drag queen to his hotel after mistaking her for a cis woman, but the song is Robert teasing John Paul Jones for accidentally setting his room on fire. In an interview Jonesy gave to Mojo magazine in 2007, he clarified the reliability of this rumor, stating: "The transvestites were actually friends of Richard Cole's; normal friendly people and we were all at some bar. That I mistook a transvestite for a girl is rubbish; that happened in another country to somebody else ... Anyway 'Stephanie' ended up in my room and we rolled a joint or two and I fell asleep and set fire to the hotel room, as you do, ha ha, and when I woke up it was full of firemen!" I think Robert using the name "John Cameron" in the lyrics was his way of naming Jonesy without naming him because John Cameron had been a rival of Jonesy's during his session days.
Why haven't heardthis before? Really fun.
Good info! Would love a link to that interview?
@@helenespaulding7562 I'm sorry - I haven't been able to find one. :(
Something about John Paul Jones picking up a transvestite by accident in New Orleans. Others might have more info on this.
That's what I heard many years ago also. I guess Jonesy didn't notice the Adam's Apple which definitely would have been a clue..
The high contrast cover is the remastered version. Same exact mix, just a little more clarity for each instrument. Jimmy remastered all of them himself.
To be honest, to me this is one of their best albums. I rank it third behind Physical Graffiti and Houses of the Holy. The variety, innovation, and production was the culmination of years of writing and playing together. They were at the peak of their playing and could do anything, and they sure did. To me, this is one of their most consistantly rocking albums.
I, weirdly will join your opinion and risk the wrath of led-heads (some off IV too). They didn't play a lot off this album in 1977 though.
I don’t know all the history stuff, I just know it’s another great cruising down the road jamming song!
The one “problem” with Zeppelin is that you are really spoiled for choice with them. Songs like this tend to get a bit lost in the vast grandeur of their catalog. That’s why going through each song in order really makes you appreciate them much more.
The Lyrics: In New Orleans, a friend named John Cameron brings a transvestite drag queen named Suzanna back to his hotel room. After a night of sex, Suzanna set the room on fire. (Official lyrics are "when the sun peaked through, John Cameron with Suzanna", but I hear it as "shone down on his Suzanna").
The Myth???: It was John Paul Jones who ended up in the hotel room with a transvestite. Robert loves to tease JPJ about this often. There is a rumour that JPJ believed that lyrics we're the least important part of the band, so out of spite, Robert wrote this song about him.
The Truth???: In a 2007 interview, Jones claimed: "That I mistook a transvestite for a girl is rubbish; that happened in another country to somebody else... Anyway 'Stephanie' ended up in my room and we rolled a joint or two and I fell asleep and set fire to the hotel room, as you do, ha ha, and when I woke up it was full of firemen!"
Thanks Charles.
Yes that is what I heard too!
Great little track,
What a great song bro!!! These guys NEVER MISS. It’s unbelievable lol. EVERY 🎵 kicks ass man!!¡ And I can’t wait till Nobody’s Fault But Mine!!! It’s amazing
How can you pick your favorite Zep song? Each one is so different and each one is so good!
Now that is Funk! They do it all to perfection!! Dude they never waist time. It’s called a beginning! Bongos🤨
Can’t wait for nobody’s fault but mine, a great Zeppelin take on an old blues number
Solid track and album and a decent follow-up to Physical Graffiti (which is difficult to do) but it was evident than Zeppelin's best years were behind them and were on the decent..
Nobody's fault but mine is not gospel it's heavier hard Rock! It was based on an old gospel song but Zeppelin turned it into thunder!
Those aren't bongos John Bonham is playing Congos
Not sure of this song but the bongo sound that your might have be John Bonham play the drums with his hands which he was known to do. Check out his live Moby Dick drum soloS
John bonham has bongos on his drum set , including cowbell . Bonham is always be in my book a drum genius , period.
The album cover is different because it's the deluxe edition cover.
Lol...this is a fun song! I think someone around the band...not Jones...picked up a transvestite on accident...well he later ended up smoking a joint in Jones' room but they fell asleep and set the room on fire.
Being born and raised in New Orleans i feel obligated to comment on this one Its a good song not my my fav. I always wondered the meaning of the album cover I just heard my new them song by a canadian band called Tragically Hip New Orleans is Sinking and I Dont Wanna Swim Its a killer funky ass tune you will love it
As a Canadian, I am obliged to provide this link to the best live version of that Hip song.

James Brown vibes for me.
This is probably my least favorite on this album ….but that doesn’t make it a bad song. It’s just that you grow to expect so much from Zep that when it’s “just good” it loses by comparison. I must say I never before knew the lyrics or the story behind them. That makes the song funny……and that makes me appreciate it ALLOT more!
I think Candy Store Rock is my "least favorite" on this album. But yeah, to your point, that doesn't mean I don't/won't crank that shit up and jam out from time to time, lol!
@@joescott8877 exactly! I don’t care for that one either. But it was just them having a lark playing the old style that they all loved
Not my choice either, but I feel that SalvoG might like it for some reason.
So funny
When he's strutting with his sugar she better not talk like Berry White
