Led Zeppelin Documentary - The Making of Houses Of The Holy - Episode 3 

Hey guys thank you very much for watching. Please remember to hit the LIKE BUTTON as this impacts the algorhythm and recommends these videos :)

This series gets 2 thumbs up. It deserves to be recognized and endorsed by the band. Very well, done

My brother recommended me your channel. Sadly, he passed away two weeks ago. His favorite album was Chicago VII. I highly recommend it. Maybe I'll live to see someone make a documentary (and imagine he's here with me watching it).

I saw the band 3 x in 73. First in LA and twice in MSG. It was like the second coming when they arrived on stage. You had to be there.

It is amazing how the guys, blow every other band away! The Mighty Led Zeppelin Is timeless

It is interesting how, to this day, a lot of people don't realize that Robert has not been able to sing like the early days since 73. Let alone being able to do it in any Zeppelin reunion. I saw them in 73. and Robert was just not up to singing any of the old stuff. Everything was rephrased and dropped to a lower register. At the time I was extremely disappointed. your videos and thorough research put great perspective on this. The led Zeppelin catalog is an incredible body of work. Robert was so young when he did that early stuff. Singing up in that range on record and then touring and hammering those vocal cords was bound to cause damage. Great job on these videos I'm really enjoying them. Thank you

I just can’t believe between this and 75 they did Dazed, Stairway, and Moby right in a row. Bonham’s stamina is insane. Factor in 77 with Achilles before Stairway, plus a drum solo nearly twice as long as 73... guys legs were rubber.

Nobody talks about the studio ending to OTHAFA. It never fails to give me chills. Talk about rock n roll church

Dude I’m always excited to see a new video from you. As a lifelong Zeppelin fan, your channel is a dream come true. Nobody is doing what you’re doing. You break down their history in a very detailed and masterful way. Thanks a bunch!

Brilliant JCM!

Nice work. I visited the causeway in 1999 and was able to recreate the artwork on HOTH back home with a very near appearance from the photos I took. Using photoshop and a very detailed selection of my photos I was able to capture what I felt was as close to the original pictures used by Storm (or the other people at Hipgnosis) by getting as near to the places each pic might’ve been taken from. The more distant pic for the inside was always off because I didn’t want to be standing in the water. Perhaps it might’ve been a 50mm lens or something I may not have had in my kit. I’ll never now. But seeing the opening imagery really brought me back to seeing it with my own eyes.

These docs are unbelievable brother,best band of all time.Great job!

Looking at the long train of releases (just a snapshot), you have to admit: '73 was a hell of a year

This series is superlative. I cannot thank you enough for all your work on this project of yours. I’m so glad, For our sake, that you are a self-described OCD personality….and that you are such an avid fan of Led Zeppelin…..my favorite band. BRAVO! 🤘

Absolutely phenomenal series. I’m sure the band will be as impressed as we all are. SO interesting. Thank you

Very, very good. Tnx!

You can't overstate how incredible this series is. Same goes for this album, and this band. The album contains 3 of my top 10 Zep songs with The Rain Song, No Quarter, and Over The Hills And Far Away. Is there another band that had the relationship with their manager that they had ? They knew he put their interest first and it allowed them to just write the greatest rock n roll songs and then perform them live. I cringe when I read people saying they can't recreate their music live as it is on records. I don't know, if you ask me I don't want it exact to the album. No fun in that. But in my opinion, no band has done more for rock n roll in only 10 years than Led Zeppelin has. Every band after them took something from them, and if they say no.....they need look a little better at themselves. My friend....you knocked this 3 part Documentary on this album out of the park. I learned more about my favorite rock band , and confirmed a few things I've learned along the way. Thank you for allowing us come along with you on this journey. I for one truly appreciate your gift. Peace my friend.

“Everybody has a home away from home”-what a brilliant poetic line. Great series this was. Onto in through the outdoor

Fantastic, man! Can't wait for the next!

My brother bought this album when I was eight. It's ingrained in some of my best memory banks. Peak Zeppelin. Great series!

Another great video. Thank you.

What a magnificent album this is. Truly an incredible collection of varied musical styles, concepts, colours and musical landscapes.

OUTSTANDING. BRAVO, MY FRIEND. (AS I STAND)

You rule dude! Can't wait for more!

Thank you 👍👍👍

Loved it! Great all the way around! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent work my friend. Thank you so much

Amazing ,cheers ! 💜🍷🔥

very enjoyable once again

Much anticipated and loved by the masses even to this day my friend .Thank You😊

Thank you so very much Sir for these amazing videos. The are awesome. 👍🎸

Perfect 👍

A job well done on a superb video series!

One the best parts of my weekend. A cold beer and another great episode to watch! Thank you, JCM

Great work on the theme song too!!!

Wonderful series. Thank you 👍💯👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome. How could I have missed this channel anyway now subscribed!! ❤️ 😎

That was awesome dude! HOTH is my FAV ZEP album!

World class, Jose! Your videos just get better and better. Respect! Ernie

Should be released formally it is amazing thank you

Got to give you credit for the effort. Incredible. JT

I thought I knew everything that there was to know about Zeppelin! Great video!!!

Hey man thank you so much for your superb videos:)

Always love the content JCM . Zeppelin brotha through and through.

Jose, you are the BEST :)

The opening of this series is incredible. The music and visuals … ❤

I never realized they had 5 albums under their belt by 1972. With 8 years to go! I love your videos

OMG MORE PLEASE. Your stuff is Fantastic.

STUNNING

After 1973 it was a case of "The law of diminishing returns." No one stays at the top forever, nor can continue to operate at peak performance and efficiency over any extended period of time.

I just want to say I've enjoyed all of your episodes so far. You do amazing work! It brings me back to my teens in the 80's just learning about Zeppelin. Well done sir!

Thank you for all the hard work that you have put into these videos. It’s really a fantastic achievement and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it and all your videos. ❤❤

Hey Jose, thanks for such a great doco on this album. It's a special on for me. I remember the first time I bought it all those years ago. It is the gateway to the mighty Physical Graffiti, which is the album that made me the Led Zep freak that I became for the rest of my life. Looking forward to one of your documentaries that opens with the first bars of that Custard Pie riff. Thanks for all your work man... you bring me back to the teenager I was back all those decades ago, where then, without internet, one could only imagine the content that you bring us today.

These videos are quite simple the best doc series ever made for RU-vid. As entertainment as reference

One thing that makes these documentaries so incredibly great is the pace at which the information is delivered. There’s not too much talking. There’s a lot of space between the points made giving one time to digest. And all of the excellent music in between the different scenes it’s just fantastic. It’s all thoroughly drenched in all things zeppelin vibe.

Phenomenal! Hats off to you!!The attention to detail and informational detail is so appreciative! I’m a big fan of your original music that you include in these documentaries, and I love how you include just a really cool look if you will to these documentaries! What an amazing talent and as one of many LED ZEPPELIN appreciators- THANK YOU!!! 🍻

Another top episode! :)

Excellent as always my friend. This music nerd learned some new things.

Great series! Really great detail from a time the band was so hostile towards band information getting out. Looking forward to your next inspiration!!!

Ok, buddy, I just figured out how to donate to you because you're more than worth it. Rock on, Rush wishes you their best.

Great close to a great album, keep it up!!

Thanks for another great episode! I still have my original copy with the white band displaying the title on it. A unique album in so many ways!

Wow brother that was great, keep up the great work. I feel like you're the teacher and I'm the student. It's amazing how much information you have on this band.

Your best yet

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Jose your episodes get better every time. It was so awesome to see how the band started working out what would become the set list and jams for TSRTS movie at MSG. That’s one of the first things that hooked me in many many years ago when I started getting into Zep. Very nostalgic episode for me today 😢. Brought back some great memories. Very very well done episode and series. I appreciate your hard work on these. It can’t be easy, especially when you have OCD!! 😂 Can’t wait to see what you have next. Edge of me seat my man!!!!!!

As a big fan of Led Zeppelin I have to say that this is the best job I’ve ever seen 🙌🏽 thank you so much

dear sir i commend you for your time and effort in putting this extraordinary analysis and record of this amazing band and album well done sir xxx

@JCM, thank you. All three parts, absolutely mesmerizing, and an incredible look into the most interesting, critical moments in Zeppelin's history. And thanks for your incredible fantasias on the music of the greatest Rock band in history.

This is fantastically made, well done! Please do one for LZ4

Great stuff! What you have done is amazing..and Led Zeppelin deserves this type of intelligent treatment

Who needs "Becoming Led Zeppelin" when we have your documentaries? Great stuff as always!

Questi documentari sono eccellenti! Li sto seguendo volentieri e capisco anche un po' meglio a dir la verità 😅 grandissimo 👍 continua così.

I gotta say that the Southampton University concert has one of, if not the greatest live rendition of thank you with Jonesy's Mellotron solo at the beginning being one of the most tender things I've ever heard, great video m8 !! !!

Listening to "TSRTS soundtrack" as I normally would anyway, but watching this at my local. You definitely enhanced my Saturday day off experience 👍

What can I say that hasn’t been said? Fantastic job as always on your latest Zep series!! Can’t wait for the next! I send your channel to all my music loving buddies

Another phenomenal entry by JCM!

Thank you JCM for another marvelous series. I keep going back to your home page to seek out more of your LZ collections. Reminds me of the days of my youth. 🎸🎹🎼🎶😎

This episode will be one of my favorite of all series to date. From the intro of No Quater, to the breakdown of the tour, to the confidence that you show was growing. Just a great episode. Let me add the cleanest version of Georgia I heard. I loved when they rolled in and out of covers. The fact that they stood on stage for sometimes 3+ hours a night was something no one of modern day would ever attempt or accomplish. I don't know if any other band was doing this at the time but one thing I do know they weren't pulling it off. As good as the Page and Plant tour was and the 02 show they were missing something and that was the spontaneity and improvisation of true Zeppelin. I can not leave out the fact that you brought to light the alternate versions. I agree, I have heard many alternate versions of Zeppelin's recordings and many including the alternate Fool In The Rain would had been much better on the final release. Maybe it's just that I need to go back and listen to everything you done but I will tell you this episode was exceptional. I strongly agree the band should be introduced to your masterful bio of the band. I'm waiting for the movie but I'm concerned it may be a dissappointment after listening to your many series. After listening to each installment I'm only left waiting an anticipating the next. Kudos my friend

Outstanding performance with your editing of this fabulous compilation of retro ( back in the good ole days ) information on definitely one of, if not the greatest band in the world ( Even to date) . I absolutely enjoyed your documentary of Led Zeppelin's 5th album and the dynamite in-depth way of how you arranged the dates of their playing before the actual album was released and even the bonus track from a concert " professionally recorded" at Southampton '73 ( Of the which I would love to hear in it's entirety) and the feeling that was produced from the ingenious editing from your part, sir. An Absolute Relic of work you've done. It's as if you've put me right back in '73! God bless you. 🙂

Houses of the Holy, Zep III and Presence are probably my favorite Zeppelin albums. Great work JMC!

I don't know if these Zep-documentaries are getting better or if I'm just addicted. This is an excellent "Easter Egg". Worth the Paypal donation, no doubt. The Song doesn't just Remain The Same, the greatness does as well. Gracias y Felices Pascuas.

He gained in wisdom and subtlety...... beautifully stated.

Even though I had heard Zeppelin years prior to this Lp being released this is the one that got me hook line and sinker. I was 10 driving with my family from Detroit to Florida and back again in my fathers tricked out van, you know mag wheels, shag carpeting and a kick ass stereo system. We had 3 8 tracks, The Rolling Stones Hot Rocks, The Beatles Blue Album and Zeppelins HOH such great memories. Such a great job yet again on your effort. PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

Once again, I'm stunned. This is brilliant work. I will consider your work the ULTIMATE documentary series on one of my favorite bands. When you are done covering all the years, there will be a MULTI-HOUR documentary series covering in greater detail than ever before (BY FAR) the entire career pre, present and post of Led Zeppelin. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see what you do next!! Great work, Jose. Just great.

Thanks for another great one brother! John Bonham was my biggest influence as a young drummer, I was playing in school band since 1978and I got my first kit the summer before his death , I was a freshman in highschool in my 1st band when he died and over the years while developing my own style I still have a huge BONHAM in my groove and am happy to admit it!😊🥁🥁😎 Thanks again.

Really, really enjoyed this! The details are incredible, the visuals and script too... (Maybe) your best one yet Jose. Keep em coming amigo

Fantastic work and content. Such a thorough retrospective! Would love to see a deep dive into the mystique element - Bolskine etc.

Another killer episode! I really don’t know how you do it….each episode is so detailed and I’m learning so much. I have also wondered about where that pic/film was taken where they are boarding the Starship. I’ve also always thought it was Pittsburgh from the many books I have read and gone through….But with what you are saying I have to rethink when it might have been taken. I like your theory. Interesting to think they flew to LA for a few days before the 27th NY gig and Jimmy picking up his new top…..I absolutely love that top with the tinsel on the shoulders. I wish he had worn it the entire three NY gigs. The pic of the four of them outside the Starship,with Roberts arms spread wide,hangs on my living room wall. I have it framed…and it looks great. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these episodes. All the best to you and can’t wait till your next one. Cheers✌️

Drum sound on 1/22/73 so good.

This was a stone cold groove mah man!

You can add my name to the long, long list of appreciative viewers. God bless you, and ESPECIALLY your OCD!! I loved every second of it. You have a new subscriber, and I await with anticipation your future posts, be they Zeppelin, or whoever else you choose to study. You clearly love good music. Thank you so very much. I'm now going to watch it all again... 😂😂

Excellent. Your literary voice gets stronger, more layered, surprising, insightful, puzzling (as in assembling a tapestry of ideas and themes and histories and emotions...in every paragraph, every sentence) and fluid by the video. I think...you’re a writer first. As many artists are. I think you’re dangerously close, and confidently fearless enough to move to Zep’s darkest outpost: not the satanism...the underage passenger. It’s the final piece, one that needs to be put on record, for all time. This, JCM...will seal your legacy as the true master of this realm.

You've surpassed yourself. An excellent and intelligent examination of a band's album and the period in which it was made. Great production overall, but the script in particular, stands above the bulk of rock appreciation reviews. Congratulations, and hopefully it will bring its own rewards to you.

Hi Jose! As always, impeccable work! Makes me wonder how many hours of research and insane work this takes... and also the satisfaction you feel seeing the end result. I'm learning so much about Zeppelin, surely this rockstar life must be very tiring, I think they have more flight hours than a veteran commercial pilot. Many think that these guys' life was one continuous party, drinks, drugs, women, lots of money, forgetting the hard side, away from families, spending more time in hotels than at home. Loved your analysis of Plant's vocal issues and how the band dealt with it, very smart move. I also loved the Variations On 1972 theme at the beginning, I remember seeing you playing in some short videos, could you make a longer video, you are a great guitar player! Thanks for another lesson on Zeppelin! ❤️

No probs. Brilliant stuff 😊☺😃
