I love that you're going down the Zep rabbit hole. I enjoy watching every minute of it. I have loved Led Zep since I was in middle school in the early 70's.
Hey there, new subscriber here! Thanks for playing my favorite album by anybody ever of all time! Love every minute of it from beginning to end, and it also contains my most favorite song for all time, Whole Lotta love. I first saw Zeppelin live in 1972 and it’s amazing how more than 50 years later they’re still making the impact that they did just as heavily today!
I agree, I absolutely love that bass guitar line on ramble on. I mean don't get me wrong, I like everything about the song but boy that always gets to me.
One thing to remember…50 years ago we consumed music in a completely different way. It was all about going to some bones house to listen on an amazing steric with something mind altering. It was all about the “hang”. No streaming. Great reaction! I’m a 68 year old white chick. I listen to this and all zeppelin on a regular basis. 👍🏿😎✌🏾
So glad you're going to play living loving maid and Heartbreaker back-to-back, which we often heard it on the radio that way and they definitely flow together that way on the album. Good move man
When you were asking about whether it was bass guitar or not, that was one of those things where the guitar and the bass guitar go in unison although they are an octave apart, it's incredibly reinforcing, just like when it happens in singing. But in this case, this sick riff has all those little bends and character in it, and yet they are matching each other.
As an older guy who's been a musician in been around recording a lot, I was there for the birth of a wrap well I wasn't there in the 70s, it wasn't until about 1980 that it came onto my radar but the point is that, so much rap that is commercially produced as boring, but there were so many Innovations along the way with rap music and one of them that comes to mind given what you were saying is that, in the traditional recording situation like this it was such a struggle to try to get it right, meaning the kick drum is in the middle on the bass guitars generally in the middle and you can try to replicate the spread of the drums and the hi-hat and everything and do you spread that stereo keyboard across the right 3rd of the spectrum or the left one third... But partly because it was so fun to listen to high, and partly because there was no formal training there and people just did what they wanted, Hip Hop was so creative from an arrangement viewpoint, at least for the interesting stuff, because all the rules were gone. I mean it still had to work so you still had to kind of approximate the feel of the big Drive of the beat coming down the middle, but you could have an 808 boom down the middle, for that super low end, but you could have another kick drum over in your right ear and you could have a bass guitar slightly left the center, and then a synth bass over slightly on the other side at a much higher pitch, so forth and so on. It's like a cartoon version and yet that is so damn accessible to everybody. If you end up reading this, that's what I love about situations like this is that your observations and your action and your comments made me think about that, it's not the first time I thought about it but I haven't thought about it in a while.
The meaning of Back Door Man was well understood back then but it really wasn't the same as the physical act that it depicts now. It was a staple in old black blues but it was everywhere, I mean Lynyrd Skynyrd has more than one song about it.
“Thank You” & “Bring It on Home” my favorite tracks ❤️ absolutely amazing breakdown on this track 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 a lot of these tracks bring back memories at different point of the my life during the 70’s ❤️ Heartbreaker/Livin lovin maid were always played together on the radio back in the 70’s ❤️ #larrybirdgoat
That faster part of the Lemon Song is what was called a "rave up" that the old blues players used to get the crowd up and dancing. And I'm happy that you were really taken with Ramble On, my favorite song of all time. And you caught that really beautiful guitar part in the background of the 3rd verse. Gorgeous.
In ramble on, definitely at the point where you commented on it the acoustic guitars and pretty far right, and the little patterning percussion noise that's meant to give it kinetic energy which is driving you crazy is more on the left but not totally panned left. That's the thing man, it's a stereo image and so the whole Sound Stage occupies from left to right all the way across in a sweep and of course up and down with the frequencies and up close in your face with no Reverb and all the way to the very back and Beyond of the stage with heavier reverb.
Definitively need to see Moby Dick played at The Albert Hall concert 1969. John Bonham showing us why he's considered the best rock drummer ever as voted by other drummers and every rock drummer has him in their list of influences. The song was originally parts of a warm up and sopundcheck and known as Pat's Delight (John's wife). Jimmy heard it all and suggested making it into a song book ended by the band. On stage this drum solo might continue for 15- 20 min and became a staple of the live shows. Yes John uses his hands as part of the piece. Amazing to watch
"Backdoor Man" coined by old blues musician Willie Dixon; other blues men also used the phrase in songs including Howlin' Wolf. Robert and Jimmy singing in Thank You. I don't like polyester, but I like the Halloween colors of your shirt. The "pattering" sound was Bonzo drumming on a guitar case or something like that in Ramble On; also JPJ's bassline is incredible. btw, "Moby Dick" is a classic book by Herman Melville published in London in 1851. No need to censor the title, lol! It's a long drum solo as you can hear. This album is 🔥
Within a few years after this, you would bombard the radio station with all your friends with requests for a certain song and then you would try to be ready in case it came on the air, on your crappy little cassette recorder so that you could make a compilation tape.😂
In Heartbreaker, it was the bass and lead playing the same riff. The bass was the deeper tone, and the scratchier edge to the riff was Jimmy...he's playing rhythm in that section. On Ramble On, it is Plant's vocals layered on his own.
A “backdoor man” refers to him sneaking at the back while her man coming in the front door. Led Zep is THE MOST sampled band EVER. Moby Dick is ALL hand playing by Jon Bonham. Danny Carey has said Jon was the heaviest hitter.
Asking Led Zeppelin fans to choose their favorite song is like asking a parent to choose their favorite child in front of all his kids.
Every time I here a Zeppelin song it's my favorite! and my favorite Mugnify reaction Good Job!
I love that you're going down the Zep rabbit hole. I enjoy watching every minute of it. I have loved Led Zep since I was in middle school in the early 70's.
Thanks for checking out my favorite band since 1969 ❤❤

Great Job Mug!!! I enjoyed the hell outta both Zeppelin live casts...can't wait for Led Zeppelin 3...

Mmmm we musta hung out together. Signed 66 yr white guy.
Robert Plant plays the harmonica in all the tracks
First Two Albums quickly solidified their obvious greatness...
You're hypnotizing me with those hand movements! But of course JPJ on the mellotron helps❤
So glad you're going to play living loving maid and Heartbreaker back-to-back, which we often heard it on the radio that way and they definitely flow together that way on the album. Good move man
I heard this album for the first time on a LSD Trip. That was one of the highlights of my life. Rock Heaven!

Just on these two albums LZ could have been considered for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. That’s how great they were,
Zep 3 is much different. It is very folkish but it beautiful. My fav is. Bring it On Home

Robert and Jimmy on thank you
Royal Albert Hall concert is amazing gotta watch it in it's entirety
Love both but The Lemon Song is my favourite
John effing Bonham, man. And he did this shit live as well.
He uses his hands on the drums for that part for sure, although he still does that fierce right foot on the kick at times.
Moby Dick Live at the Royal Albert Hall is insane and highly recommended

Building the pyramids! Great analogy for Zeppelin’s sound.

Yep, he switched back to using a stick slightly before that.
Just seriously listen to Howlin Wolf doing Back Door Man, and all will become clear. Not to mention that he is a pivotal figure in music.
One of the greatest a?bums!!😊
Luved this, thanks so much!
You noticed the gong! Kudos! People rarely notice the gong.

I don’t really have favorites of Zeppelin. I honestly cannot choose one song. I really love their music

Bonham used 1 kick pedal

Your comment brought back so many memories of hovering over my cassette recorder ready to hit that red button 😂
Watch the moby dick drum solo from the albert hall in 1970.You wll see how good he was at 22 years old.
Bring it on home is one of the best LZ songs of all time IMO. Never see that in today's music...EVER anymore.
One of THE seminal albums in rock history.
Rock n roll WE'RE THE FIRST TO RAP. Just wasn't labeled as that til the late 80's.💯fact
Ty for reaction!
Moby Dick live is great! His hands are a blur at times its so fast.❤
I had the song Thank You played at my wedding in 1987!
Backdoor Man was written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin Wolf. You would love it, if you listened to it you would know the meaning.
I agree on your assessment of back door man.
Ramble on is my favorite, lemon song.
Led Zeppelin was never on pop music stations in 1969.It was all word of mouth album sales and concerts.They never advertised
Dude, Page IS Hendrix level...
In Heartbreaker, it was the bass and lead playing the same riff. The bass was the deeper tone, and the scratchier edge to the riff was Jimmy...he's playing rhythm in that section. On Ramble On, it is Plant's vocals layered on his own.
I and II and III and IV.
Lemon song
Plant the "lemon boy" 🤣
Back door man means that guy that sneaks in to give some lovin while husband out.
you need react to zeppelin concert in royal albert hall in 1970 , one year later to led zeppelin II
JPJ really shines on this album. Not that the others don't.
Page liked to play guitar with a cello bow. I'm not sure about your point but I know the heartbreaker's loved this album.
Heartbreaker and Living Loving Maid don't belong together. Page doesn't even like the latter.
Back door man means that guy that sneaks in to give some lovin while husband or boy friend is out.
Is not about such is better. Is about such o e you like.
The main influence of Led Zeppelin is the Blues.
Hey Mugnify if ya get a chance listen to the Robert Plant interview from producer Rick Rubin. Lots of great history there! ✌️
The tapping sound is Bonzo using a guitar case with his sticks
Back door man aka. Jody.. wolf man!
A “backdoor man” refers to him sneaking at the back while her man coming in the front door.
Led Zep is THE MOST sampled band EVER.
Moby Dick is ALL hand playing by Jon Bonham. Danny Carey has said Jon was the heaviest hitter.
It meant something different Back then, remember, this is 50 years ago.
Well, when you watch Zeppelin live at MSG 1973, you’ll see Robert is very “sufficient” in the “inch-giving” dept.😂😂😂😂😂
And God said: “Let there be Led Zeppelin II.”
They wanted his voice to sound “trippy” it was a thing back then…
They sound like they are rotating because they ARE rotating! Jimmy used a theremin AND an oscillator on this middle section…
Jimi never played anything on THIS level. That is, Heartbreaker.
Backdoor man double entendre
As you can see from live shows and tight pants...Robert Plant is definitely sufficient..
Backdoor man means having an affair with a married woman.
Husband goes out the front door to work, meanwhile....
