It IS one of their best songs ever, and it's a cover! The composers (Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy) recorded it first way back in 1929 - a ballad for sharecroppers just scraping by, forced out by the storms and floods who joined the migration north to Chicago where there was work to be had. Incredible song in the hands of Zeppelin.

@keithfriedman 4 месяца назад

@joecleveland20 As great as Zeppelin was (AND THEY WERE), unfortunately they did ripoff a bunch of old black blues musicians. That part doesn't bother me as much as the fact Jimmy Page is in denial about it. There's even a question whether or not the ripped off Stairway to Heaven from one of their warmup bands. Although they were cleared in the courts, in my opinion it sounds a lot like the song in question. The song was Taurus by a group named Spirit.

@Johnthedagger 2 месяца назад

I grew up in the 70's listening to Zeppelin. I was a teenager and had 3 or 4 jobs because we were lower middle class, and if I wanted things, even my own clothes, I had to work for the money. I saved up and bought a new Technics stereo, big speakers and all, and when my parents were working, I'd blast Zeppelin on my stereo for hours. Still to this day, when I'm at home or in my truck, I put Zeppelin on, and it takes me back to that time, and the crescendo of calm and happiness just washes over me. They'll always be my go to band and are the inarguable GOATs of rock and roll music

The echo of the drums you recognized (one of my favorite aspects of this song) occurred because this track was recorded / captured in the lobby of Headley Grange, a historical building in Hampshire, England with a massive open space giving the echo-y feature you described. How friggin' cool!

@diegorhoenisch62 4 месяца назад

The echo is an effect added by Andy Johns; it's not just the room.

@mikescott8567 4 месяца назад

The echo is created by an echo effect piece of electronic equipment. Rick Beato has a video about it.

Yeah, Jimmy said they had hung microphones from the ceilings in the hallway. Then they took some away because Bonzo was just nailing it so loud anyway. Great recording from an iconic album

What makes bands like Led Zeppelin so amazing is that they wrote great songs that will absolutely draw you in, and at the same time they weren’t afraid to do their version, of the songs that inspired them. They put their soul and feeling into already great songs and paid homage to the musicians that inspired them. “Memphis Minnie” Rock on!

One thing you need to understand is these iconic rock bands like Zepplin, the Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Bowie and Clapton. For them it wasn't so much about the money but the music, the craft. They studied music and experimented in the craft of making music. That's why this era of music is timeless. I'm really happy to see young people today discovering this music that was so much a part of my generation. Because it influenced our lives, shaped our lives and inspired us and brought us together as one. People from all over the U.S. Canada, the U.K. and Western Europe. We were all tuned in to the same vibe at the same time. It was a magical time.❤🇨🇦

I'm soooooo jealous you've seen them that many times. I've been a guitarist since I was 4 (I'm 58 now). Even as a young child, I was mesmerized by Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin had awkward been the top of my list. It's no wonder when Bonzo died, they didn't feel the need to go on. The synchronicity of the 4 was that strong.

@peterworth9403 7 месяцев назад

Hands down, one of the most iconic beats ever. As soon as I hear this beat hit, I'm already in that groove. I can't help it. John Bonham was 100% a beast on the kit. "Four Sticks" is another great one. Aptly names because he's using four sticks. "Fool in the Rain," I believe, he's carrying two differently timed beats at once. Which is insane.

@shobudski6776 6 месяцев назад

Bonham does that on the Wanton Song as well. What a groove. Also in My Time of Dying the drum sounds like cannons. Unreal.

The next day I heard it coming out of his room several times… I think I did good 😊 Another that’s one of my favorites is Immigrant Song. Different vibe, but just as powerful.
