Bought the album on a school break. Dropped some blotter with my best friend and listened to this album all day long. To be young and without responsibility expanding knowledge through your inner being. Married, 5 children and 12 grandchildren. You can't ever replicate the time in life you experience. It's gone, but the memories survive 😢
Robert Plants voice was and is fantastic. His voice did change with maturity and the way he used it in Physical Graffiti was different because of his surgeries but his ability to emote through his voice was undiminished. I love this band and I love this album. As always Jimmy Pages guitar is superb and Bonzo's drums are sublime. Thank goidness for Led Zeppelin the greatest of them all.
Love Zeppelin! Still listen to em today. I don't care for In Through The Out Door, but all their other studio albums have taken turns at being my favorite.
"Physical Graffiti" has been my favorite hard rock double album. When it came out on CDs I took advantage that I could program and sequence the songs to my liking.
"In Through The Out Door" is a good album, but it isn't anything that we were expecting, because Jimmy Page was barely involved. Although credited as producer, we know he didn't really produce it. It is a 100% John Paul Jones album. Sadly, it was also the end of Led Zeppelin even if Bonham hadn't checked out. Page was in miserable shape and had completely lost the drive, and as history now tells us, he didn't come out of his chemical issues for several years afterward, so I doubt there would have been any more true "Zeppelin" material.
Glad I found your channel. Enjoying all your videos.. and the effort, time, and research involved. I was 11 years old in 1975. First year I started buying albums. Got Physical Graffiti the day it came out. Also in that year, remembering getting these brand new releases. Wish You Were Here, Born to Run, Katy Lied, Captain Fantastic, and Face the Music.
When I was amassing my vinyl collection in the 70’s and 80’s, the thing that was consistent was listening to the album from start to finish. It was an experience, as you said. An event in some cases! Led Zeppelin II is my favorite LZ album!
Physical Graffitti is easily my favorite Zep album. I turn to it, way more often than any other in their catalogue. I was in a band that played The Wanton Song. Way more fun than playing Stairway. Great channel. I think I will subscribe
I saw Zep five times between 1969 and 1977, each time I saw them they got better. I was never too impressed with Kashmir on the album UNTIL I saw them play it live, then I got it.
For some unknown reason, Gramophone (the British classical magazine) attempted some select criticism or rock records in the 70’s and I remember reading a rather positive review of PG in their pages in 1975… with the requisite stiff upper lip, of course.
The Rover is the fav rocker and Kashmir is the best on the album ..In My Time of Dying can be a bit too long but great anyway. ..LZ 3 should have been a double album as well , that recording session took them to another level..
Ack. "Kashmir" again. Jesus...... it's not the only song on the album. It's nowhere near the best, to me, anyway. It's too long, repetitive, monotonous. I mean.... it's a fine tune, but it's practically the only Zeppelin song anyone ever talks about..... that, and "When The Levee Breaks" from the fourth album. When I think of Physical Graffiti, I'm thinking of Custard Pie, of The Wanton Song, of In My Time Of Dying.
Half the songs on Physical Graffiti at least were written and recorded even in an infancy version if not as a whole going back to Led Zep III & IV were shelved for later construction(Some songs on 'Houses of the Holy' same thing, some were already in the can and one song the title of the album left off for the next, PG. No matter what they kept in their back pocket for later use it worked. If they had added just one more song to any album or left off just one song to replace with another, that album wouldn't be the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 🎸🎤🎸🥁
I have very fond memories of listening to physical graffiti. Considering when I was in 9th grade I would listen to it while my girlfriend and I were making out down in her basement.😊
Night flight, custard pie, the Rover, trampled pretty hard to beat .ive never thought about rank, that's brain stimulation, so thanks, okay i say half graffiti, half down at pawpaw's house,i mean ,four
Graffiti was their best. Kashmir eclipses Stairway. Time of Dying is apex tight drums guitar. This dude disrespects Bonham and mistakes his "groove stomp" for imprecision. The odd time signatures make ppl think he's sloppy. all that slight delay and jazz drumming funk is deliberate. Page was the sloppy one (live, i mean). If Graffiti is their "White album" then i like it better than Sgt Peppers, prolly a minority opinion. (equating LZ4 with Sgt Peppers)

Reminds me of a "windowpane" experience on the UF golf course back in 1986. Physical Graffiti, a boom box and some tripping buddies. What memories!!

You are doing a great service I'm enjoying what you said, say, and look forward to seeing/hearing the articles
Thank you for the feedback. We're having a lot of fun researching and putting these together.

fool in the rain is a great song.

35 comments and no mention of "In the Light" ?
I’ve been listening to physical graffiti for a month straight now

In my humble opinion, Graffiti was Zeppelin's greatest album.
Anyone else love the Rain Song and Over the Hills? My fave of all time is Ramble On.
Physical Graffiti surpasses anything the Beatles did.
I vote aye.

Plant, the best lyricist in music.

I agree, In My Time Of Dying is my favourite on the album but Kashmir , though great , is no Stairway, for example!

thats what I say about Remasters...
Moses was a prince of Egypt highly schooled I didn't know he couldn't read
He told God he wasn't skilled talker, you're right,so Aaron laid it down
I have very fond memories of listening to physical graffiti. Considering when I was in 9th grade I would listen to it while my girlfriend and I were making out down in her basement.😊
Are you saying you didn't lick your albums?
Parts of rumours parts of bebe le strange
