  • The story of the band's post MSG 1973 vacations and how they recorded Sick Again, Kashmir and Ten Years Gone. Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" marked a turning point in the band's career past many triumphant months on the road. From the early session rehearsals to Jones' having second thoughts about the enterprise, it's all here in the first of several installments that unlock the secrets behind a 1975 release that remains an iconic piece of classic rock history. Driving to Kashmir and beyond, this is the making of Physical Graffiti. #ledzeppelin #johnpauljones #jimmypage #classicrock #documentary #johnbonham #robertplant

    I've been listening to "Physical Graffiti" since 1975 and it forever remains my favorite Led Zeppelin album....and I'm a HARDCORE LedHead. Hearing the change-overs of the LP sides is INGRAINED in me. I'm also of the opinion that "Custard Pie" and "Sick Again" are THE GREATEST album opener and closer EVER......and I will go to my grave with that opinion. 🤩
    Nearly half a century since it's release.....I'm an old man now.......Where does the time go?!?

    I had the privilege of seeing Led Zeppelin in May of 1973 (Memorial Colosseum, Tuscaloosa, AL). I’ve seen many concerts in my life, including a second Zeppelin show in 1977. The 1973 Zeppelin concert was the best.

    One of the best reasons (I feel) of all of the crystal clear, perfectly balanced stereo soundboard tapes from 1975 is that: we all get a front row seat to hear John Paul’s work. In fact one of the main reasons I’ve loved Zeppelin all these years for is because we get to live vicariously through the insight of John’s (and the others of course) thought processes. Kashmir live from the US ‘75 tour is something that Jones could handle. Between the Hohner keyboard atop the Mellotron and bass pedals, he had it all covered. When the songs drawn-out ending begins when entering the key of G is where we get to hear the goods. It’s like having a full orchestra in one man. We’re all forever indebted to Mr. Jones. I recommend to all here to go back to the Dallas tapes, St. Louis, Nassau, N.Y., Baton Rouge, Vancouver and Seattle board tapes and check out Kashmir once again…to hear the master at work on top of Bonham’s HUGE bass drum trudge.

If this is something you created with some foundational elements of Kashmir-it contains some epic, Rock God's of the 70's chords that I would listen to then-or now. Major props for your comprehensive work on these videos and your talents as a musician yourself 🌟

      wow what an awesome memory! that shirt is worth a lot of money. I paid 100 dollars for a “reprint” from 1976. assuming yours is screen printed and not an iron on graphic, those original 1975 tour shirts were printed by winterland productions. they licensed some of their tour prints from this 73-76 era and reprinted them in the following years. an original is worth 300 dollars easily.

    Thanks so Much JCM, for telling the Story of the Making of my Favorite Led Zeppelin Album! I was Fortunate enough to see them Perform some of the Stand Out Tracks Live at the Montreal Forum on Thursday Night, 06 Feb 1975!! 2 Weeks later, the Album was Released & Listening to It brought the Memories of that Fantastic Live Show all Back to Me! My immediate thought was: "Holy Fuck, They Really Were That GOOD!!"

    Another great job as always JCM - thank you. Funny story on the 1973 robbery at the Drake: was watching the movie on VHS at friend's home around 1982 - my friend's dad was retired NY police officer....walks in and instantly states: "oh - led zeppelin - I am coming up in the next scene" - friend and I like at each other like what? My friend never knew it, but his dad is the officer driving the patrol car that takes Grant in for questioning - said he met the members and they were all gentlemen - he did say they looked a little worse for wear (party the night before???) and that Jimmy was asking Grant for cash so he could go buy records! He also stated the police thought the money was stolen by a member of the hotel management staff. One of the books I read mentioned someone they thought stole the money who worked at the hotel who suddenly retired and moved to the carribbean!

Tim was a friendly dude....in fact, most of them were, and they were very funny. That was 20 years ago though. I know I've seen the drummer from afar recently, but haven't had a chance to chat.

    Glad to see that you are going to include some of the cuts from one of the best bootleg's that I have ever heard, the name I know it by is Physically Present but it probably has a dozen others. I saw it in a record store (remember those?) and it was behind the counter in a glass top case and I asked about it. The guy said he didn't know much about it so I asked if I could listen to it, he said sure. It starts off with the run through of Custard Pie, and immediately I said SOLD! It was far and away the most I had ever paid for a bootleg CD! Bootlegs are traditionally expensive, but this was like $80 that was a shit TON of money for a bootleg CD! I took it home and listened to it, and then listened to it about twenty times in a row! I brought it over to my friends house and told him, you HAVE to hear this! My buddy was the ULTIMATE LZ fanatic! He & I loved everything Zeppelin! He had a look on his face when the version of In The Light started that was like looking at the face of someone watching their child being born! We listened to that entire thing 10 times! We got hammered and just enjoyed hearing the different ways they were putting all these songs together, it was great! My buddy passed away suddenly from a heart attack a number of years ago, it devastated me. I never got to say goodbye, and we really loved each other. I miss him a lot! That bootleg makes me think about him, and it makes me feel good that we shared that together. There are people that try to convince you that it is fake! It's a tribute band doing an impression of Zeppelin. If you are a true student of Zeppelin, you know it's them. I know those tapes were stolen from Page a number of years ago. So yes, it's Zeppelin! Raw and real! Hope you will play the version of In The Light with the different lyrics and the harpsichord intro. Looking forward to the next video!
