Putting the needle down on a Zeppelin album in the Seventies was like lighting a stick of dynamite. I dig it as much at 71 years old as when I listened to them IN 1971! The energy in me that rode its back has not changed. My body thinks that's weird. Ha. But so what? Peace Out!✌✌
I remember driving around and around the Forum in Inglewood, Calif with my buddies in a 1959 Weber's bread truck trying desperately to figure out a way to get in since we had snuck in at hockey games before but the Zep was different they had all openings secure and we finally got chased out by the parking lot police, We were all so bummed cause we could hear them playing their opening number "Rock and Roll" , just another experience in a teenagers life. Ha! man that seems like that was in another life been so long ago. Peace be to you!!
Feel the same brother or sister. 71 years old too. Great stuff. Our schools parking lot was rocking to this before and after. I still got vinyls. Rock on Aurora.
I was 14 years old in 1989 when I first heard Heartbreaker into Living Loving and I absolutely lost my damned mind. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING compared to that. All the heavy metal I was into just took a back seat to the thrill that was this album. My whole youth was defined by that pregnant one second pause between these songs and the birth of sheer exuberance that followed. At 48 I have listened to every genre of music that has followed, and nothing comes close to the rollercoaster thrill that was and is Led Zeppelin. Also, God bless John Paul Jones, the best and most underrated musician of that century 🔥
Always good to see the music lives on. However I hate people my age putting down later generations. Don't they remember what it's like to be 20? You don't want somebody 60 or 70 telling you what's right or what to like. My feeling is let them figure it out for themselves. I think that way works out best.
When I walked into my high school gym in 1969 for the first time, this album was blasting fm the speakers. I asked who this was bc I had only listened to AM radio. And that's when puberty hit me right between the eyes. Good Gawds no wonder the 70s were insane.
We're all dying slowly or maybe a little sooner, but unavoidably dying anyway. Have a smooth passage to whatever it is if anything and hopefully I see you on the other side. Meanwhile let's make the time in between worth living.
Back in the 70s I drove my grandmother nuts with this album. She lived with us downstairs, but I had my bedroom upstairs with two big speakers and yeah, I turned it all the way up.
As I am a true child of the 90s, the first time I heard this recording was on a gritty old cassette tape my neighbor lent me. At the time, I knew nothing more than Limp Bisket, Lincoln Park and Pappa Roach. Suffice to say that day changed my life forever.
Welcome aboard. Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit are weenie bands. Posers. Lincoln Park were good. RIP Chester. It's ok to like different styles. Recognizing Zeppelins greatness just takes awhile for some. I love bands like the Cure. The Replacements. The Smiths. The Pixies. Soul Asylum. 360 degrees from Zeppelin but I always gravitate back to them no matter where I'm at musically. They're simply the greatest band of all time. End of story
I was five years old when These guys got together. Became a fan at eight years old and my big brother started playing it. I just want to say welcome to the club☮️
When I was 7 or 8, my oldest brother brought home "Houses Of The Holy". The first time I heard it, I was hooked. I'll be 59 in 2024 and I still listen to Zeppelin. 🤘🤘🤘
I'm just now 68 and since 1972 a full blown Led head. Saw them in 1974 at the Capitol Center in MD by accident and unreal! John Bonham had a circle of drums around him and just took them to pieces!
I've been playing the Zeppelin on the drums since I was 15 John Bonham was one of my drumming Heroes.. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing.. coming back from rehearsal on the boulevard in Montreal Canada... When they announced his death... I pulled over and cried for over an hour... I was just a kid then... I'm 68 years of age now ... Teaching the kids to play drums... And still doing the occasional performance... Zeppelin anytime anywhere man!
Check out some of the stuff coming out of Japan. The level of talent and enthusiasm is frightening. Special mention: Band Maid. of note for Zep fans: After one of Band Maid's shows, and older English gentleman came up on stage and told drummer Akane Hirose she sounded like the reincarnation of John Bonham. The older English gentleman? Jimmy Page. 😀
80s/90s kid and this was still alive and well on true rock stations. This and Hendrix, Doors, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Cooper. Now not so much where I live.
This Album is pure gold from start to finish. An absolute Masterpiece. Every song is Good. But of course seeing and hearing them Live is the ultimate Led Zeppelin experience. I was lucky to have seen them twice. And yes...they did play both of these songs back to back
@@paulbernal5397 why lie about it? Jimmy Page said this was his least favorite Led Zeppelin song and that is why they never played it live. I don’t know why you would lie about that.
This is and will forever be THE ONE band for me that brought me to rock music. They supported me through all my life. This music has an intensity that no other band has reached. Many have tried, many failed. But this is the origin of it all.
@@undercoveragentfortheblues1723 I agree with you completely. Well said. Jimmy Page took the blues and brought it back to us young white Americans in a new package. They’re the best.. they will always be the best. they did the same things for My Life. I married my high school sweetheart and I lost her seven years ago. Led Zeppelin help me get through it every day. I love you, Nat💕🌎✌🏼
I was 13 in 1976 when I first heard both Led Zeppelin's debut album and Led Zeppelin 2.And i was and still am hooked on their music and became a life long fan.Today at 60 years old as I listen to "Heartbreaker"/"Livin Lovin Maid" I'm 13 years old again.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine if you were in a band like Led Zeppelin.... seriously, take a good ten minutes and think about that. After Bonham would ultimately die, how would you have handled it? Would it ever be the same, after making music like this, having someone like Bonham on drums? I'll let you answer that
My mother was a touring musician, from Her hometown of Victoria BC , to up and down the west coast of both Canada and the States. I was a drummer. That's just where the talent ended up on my end. So at age 7, i was sat down and made to listen to Zeppelin 1-4 because as she would say, John Bonham was the heaviest drummer of all time,and that I HAD TO PLAY LIKE HIM if I wanted to be any good. It worked. That same Night we found an ancient bass drum pedal and cardboard boxes for toms, and a coffee table book for a snare. I was just consumed. I made a band w my brother and he was the guitar player. The only problem was finding a singer. Idk if that's been other peoples' experience. But at one time I actually had to do vocals and drum at the same time,which meant certain songs were simply off the list. Not this one,tho. S***,I probably sing this while on the drums anyway.
Love it. Kinda sounds like my now husband's musical lifestyle.. Here we are in a love for each other and music that goes way back. It's awesome. And so is reading these comments from us late 60s early 70s not only in music but in age.. ❤
Excellent 2,nd album. The first one superb. Dig! Get into it all the way into it. For MOJO Detroit ENFORCER! God bless you brother. Ride with Pride. Peace
I can remember in the mid 1980's drag racing, while blasting this song in my 100% Genuine 1969 Chevy Z-28 X33 model! I pulled a wheelie, and blew the doors off of a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am! Damn! Those were great times!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Great singer, two great guitarists and a hard hitting ball of power drumming and percussion, composers, instrumentalist....have I missed anything? I'm sure you'll think of something else I forgot!
Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long, just watch and see How the fellas lay their money down Her style is new, but the face is the same As it was so long ago But from her eyes, a different smile Like that of one who knows Well, it's been ten years and maybe more Since I first set eyes on you The best years of my life gone by Here I am alone and blue Some people cry, and some people die By the wicked ways of love But I'll just keep on rolling along With the grace of the Lord above People talking all around About the way you left me flat I don't care what the people say I know where their jive is at One thing I do have on my mind If you can clarify, please do It's the way you call me by another guy's name When I try to make love to you, yeah I try to make love, but it ain't no use Give it to me, give it Work so hard I couldn't unwind Get some money saved Abuse my love a thousand times However hard I tried Heartbreaker, your time has come Can't take your evil way Go away, heartbreaker Heartbreaker Heartbreaker Heart- With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat Living, loving, she's just a woman Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac Living, loving, she's just a woman Come on, babe on the roundabout Ride on the merry-go-round We all know what your name is So you better lay your money down Alimony, alimony paying your bills Living, loving, she's just a woman When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills Living, loving, she's just a woman Come on, babe on the roundabout Ride on the merry-go-round We all know what your name is So you better lay your money down Telling tall tales of how it used to be Living, loving, she's just a woman With the butler and the maid and the servantry Living, loving, she's just a woman Nobody hears a single word you say Living, loving, she's just a woman But you keep on talking till your dying day Living, loving, she's just a woman Come on, babe on the roundabout Ride on the merry-go-round We all know what your name is So you better lay your money down Living, loving, she's just a woman Living, loving, she's just a woman Living, loving, she's just a woman
Many years ago a local college radio station played Heart Breaker but did not play Livin Lovin Maid. Thank gosh their phone answering machine took my call,this was before cell phones!
Bought this @ a duty Free Shop in Manila, 1971 Played this through the squawk box in the day room. The Skipper @ exec were ashore. Every mop became a guitar!
I, too, am still a righteous rocker at age 71.Led Zeppelin never fails me to fill me with awe and amazement. Music like this is ageless and has an immortailty all its own.
As a kid I always thought he said "with a purple umbrella that fits in her hair" or on Stairway "and there some wine on down the road" FYI I still sing em like that 💪
My friend Frank and I were riding around on Manchester rd. in St. Louis back in 1969. We stopped at a new stereo store that as having their grand opening. They had two albums on sale for $1.99, Led Zeppelin II or Frigid Pink.....Frank said I think you'll like the Led Zeppelin better. He was right, every time I hear a Zeppelin song I think of that day. We lost Frank in 2004 but his music lives on. Thanks Frank...
After years of always hearing these two songs together on the radio, a DJ thought she would be funny and play them in reverse order. It seemed my entire day was in tilt mode.
I had this album around 1971. Blown away by its awesomeness. Gutbucket rock. Edit: After Lemon Song this is my second favorite track from this record......ooofff.....Fuego🔥
