In addition to the great tracks on this album, with hindsight, this album is hugely important because it honed Zeppelin's acoustic take on music, which was instrumental in the next few albums that follow - when they combine acoustic and electric to create their signature sound.
Yeah, this album sounded like a huge evolution from Led Zeppelin II in my opinion. They started implementing acoustic guitar a lot more on this album, but also I thought that the production sound just sounded cleaner in general. Can't wait for IV!
@@EthanSSB Much of this album was conceived in an unheated/no electricity/no running water country house called Bron-Yr-Aur, necessitating the use of acoustic instruments. In later albums, especially the untitled 4th album, the fusion of acoustic instruments and song structures with their electric/blues past allowed them to create something entirely new and fresh. That trend towards new sounds and new genres continued all the way thru the rest of their catalog. Odd number albums tended to be more experimental, the even numbered albums tended to learn from those experiments and create epic, monumental responses. The 4th album will blow you away with its innovations.
@@tektoniks_architects Yeah, I noticed that it was recorded in a country house, lol what is with these UK bands and recording albums in random places haha. I can't wait for IV!
@@EthanSSBI don’t believe III was actually recorded there, it was just Plant & Page writing songs. LZ was written & some recording at an estate called Headley Grange, the whole band stayed there. NO heat at that place, there to sleep write & record music. They used The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio, Stairway To Heaven was written there, & Bonham’s amazing drumming for When The Levee Breaks was recorded there, both on IV. Since I’ve Been Loving You, live at Madison Square Gardens (1973), is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend watching it, you’ll definitely love it. Jimmy Page not only the greatest guitarist, founded the band, he produced mixed & worked with the engineers on all their albums. A brilliant musical genius, who found 3 other music geniuses, to make great music with.
@ Ohh, yeah I don’t know what to believe at this point because on genius it said this album was recorded at a cottage, but yeah they could have just written there looool 😂 Okay yeah, I love watching live performances so thank you for the recommendation
@@EthanSSB It's a masterpiece of dynamics. I believe the bass player overdubbed all the organ parts. Each one of the band members is incredible on their own, but even after playing together for years, this kind of lighting in a bottle is rare.

you're not wrong - I think "Since I've Been Loving You" is the greatest blues-rock studio recording ever.
@@tokoge Wow, really. Yeah I can see how you can think that just based on my first couple listens lol
