As I have always said, JPJ is tge secret weapon of Zeppelin. Bonzo was the ammunition. Jimmy was the scope, and Robert was the trigger. When they fire, they never miss
@@Billis75 good stuff- heard it before... so sweet but wish I could have been able to hear it 35 years ago. Another thing that sucks is that the video (not really a video) stops before the end... thanks though
the did the right thing cashing out after Bonham. There are some band that once they form, thats it. Everyone is so important to the sound that it just cant be anything than what it is. Rush made the same call with Peart of course.
I’d say, it’s because jimmy page purposely chose 3 other absolutely amazing musicians in their own fields. Other bands maybe have a duo writing most of the songs like the stones for example, but Zep had 4 amazing musicians who sometimes all wrote together and sometimes only had 1 or 2 members writing the bigger part of a Song. In through the Outdoor is the best example of songs written mostly by jones and page, while their harder stuff were more of a group project or a combination of Jimmy and bonzo. Of course they all loved all fields from the softer stuff to the really hard rock to classic metal, so there are exceptions, the riff for black dog for example was written by jones.
those two songs werent on the same album but totally right - there was so much talent in that group and there are songs like Kashmir and this one that are just pure Zeppelin and cant be shoved into another genre.
@@qaballxro_6918 most of the entire zep discography is written by plant and page, in through the out door was written almost exclusively plant and jones. each member usually added his own part to the song but page and plant acted as the helmsmen.
15 year old me: listening to this play on vinyl under headphones, laying on the floor of my attic bedroom, smoking Marlboros & contemplating life.... 46 year old me: listening to this on my phone, laying on my bed, petting my snoring cat & contemplating life... the more things change, the more they stay the same
@@fordism.01 Liked the album, just don't think it ranks with their best. Had the cassette back in '79. The sound is kind of off; almost as if recorded in an empty warehouse. Also, my first thought was that it didn't sound like Bonham on drums in places.
Apparently Jimmy Page went to Brazil for a soccer game and during his time there was inspired by the local music which would eventually become this song.
@@vellaropedart9190 Nope; it was both Jones and Plant at a soccer (football) game in Argentina. 🙂 I just happened to see it when I looked-up this song on Wikipedia, lol.
It's so strange that "D'yer Mak'er" was Zepp's failure to replicate Reggae but turned out to be one their best songs. It's one of their most unique songs imo.
This is a very different album for Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant's son had just passed away at 5 years old and Jimmy Page was still going through his heroin addiction so John Paul Jones essentially produced this album.
This is the song that hooked me on led zeppelin. Stairway was the 1 everyone knew from them including myself, whole lotta love is a favorite of mine. But this song right here is when I went from liking the band, to appreciating the band. It's great and definitely 1 of the best zeppelin songs imo.
100% . This is one of the most complex songs to play: notes, timing, tone, EVERYTHING. Easily the most underrated Zepplin song of their amazing catalog... BRILLIANT!
I personally fell in love with this song when I first heard it being played all the time on stereos by guys I lived with in the barracks of a California U.S. Air Force Base in the early 80s. It is my very favorite Zeppelin song. Fantastic. Some of the most amazing instrumentals blended with voice of any song I have ever heard!
Bonham just KILLS this one. I really think this was some of his finest playing. That shuffle beat is perfect and the slowly building Caribbean flavored bridge ending with the fast roll and his solo fills at the end before Page starts that killer solo with the sub-harmonic synth pedal is just SWEET! Still just absolutely love this song after 40 years of listening. They got it right on this one! Thanks! Peace from SF
Bruce Runnels, That is also one of my favorite Zeppelin songs. One due to it being complex and layered musically, and also in that it reference to JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. There are also other good Zeppelin songs with Lord of the Rings references such as "Misty Mountain Hop" for the Misty Mountains, and "Ramble On" which references Mordor, Gollum, and the evil one (Sauron?). And of course there is The Battle of Evermore" The Ring wraiths ride in black/ride on".
@@brucer2152 I think Robert Plant was the main Tolkien fan. One of my two cats is named Zeppelin. And, it was my younger stepdaughter who was in her early teens when we adopted him and his brother as kittens. I was actually surprised she even knew of the band Zeppelin. His brother we named Nash, though the inspiration came from the son of a friend of the family, rather than from Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young. But still sounds cool just the same.😉😀
That’s the Purdie Shuffle, my man. Bernard Purdie influenced generations of drummers, and that includes some of the greats like Bonham, Porcaro, etc. Love those ghost notes
@@flibber123 oh, well that’s cool. Hey, check Bernard Purdie out! Here’s a video of him incorporating all different types of beats, and his discovery of the Purdie Shuffle. It’s been used by many drummers since. Yeah, it might be a drum video, but he’s quite a character. You’ve probably heard him before as he’s one of the most famous session drummers, and has played with countless legends on dozens upon dozens of albums ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T1j1_aeK6WA.html
People always talk about the drum in Rio during carnival. This is Bonham as one of those drummers. This song has so much - the perfect John and John grove, Jimmy's synthesizer pedal guitar solo, and Robert's impeccable voice.
I remember like it was just yesterday we had tickets to see the IN THROUGH THE OUTDOOR TOUR at the FORUM IN LOS ANGELES and the news came out that DRUMMER JOHN BONHAM had passed, what a sad day for ROCK & ROLL!!!!!!!!
Jamal I’ve been listening to this song since I’m 13 years old. I’m 53 now. Can’t express the love I have for this song. Watching you enjoy it makes it so much better!!! God bless you my brother!!
Zeppelin was sucha goodl band. Different sounds, moods, productions. Fool in the Rain, a cool song. Love how Zep would showcase each others talents in their songs. Voice, lead guitar, bass and drums.
This is a very important song! The last “released” single to play before they decided to disband. Releasing in the early 80’s; was a huge hit. Catching the attention of a younger generation that never heard the great Zeppelin! At least in my part of the Country.
@@kurtsaxton9665 What’s not true Kurt? I chose to go with a very condensed version to inform the significance of new Fans finding Led Zeppelin through this single. Was this NOT the last single released from this album? Did Zeppelin Not disband after Bonham’s passing?
@@kurtsaxton9665 Thank you for the touring info. I was speaking of Single release play on the radio, not of the tour. Never said anything about the tour. Please read fully before calling me out. Thank you. i.e. “Released Single; Huge Hit.
I don’t hate this album, but it’s bittersweet. When it was released we got tickets to see them in Atlanta in the upcoming tour.. then John Bonham died..
Oh, hell. Can't imagine how that must have felt to miss seeing them. I never got the chance to see them, my favorite band since the early '70's. It's been a serious sore spot and regret for many years. Can't imagine how devastating that must have been. Such a tragic loss. At least their music remains.
Same with my parents. They luckily had seen them in the early 70s but even as a kid I remember when he died - in our house I thought a family member died, my parents were quite sad 😢 as I too became a fan, I get it now. Same with SRV - one of only 3 times I saw my Dad cry.
On Dec. 26th 1968 I was a 16 year old fascinated by rock n roll. I went to a concert featuring Vanilla Fudge and Spirit. The opening act that night was an unheard of group called Led Zepplin. This was their first ever North American show, and why they chose my hometown of Denver, Co. I’ll never know, but what an amazing surprise. Next to seeing Jimi Hendrix live at Red Rocks outdoor amphitheater this was one of my favorite live performances.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs. I swear my Nana's baptist church choir would enter the sanctuary and bop up the church aisle to a song with this same beat.
the only thing i miss about vinyl is this album's packaging/artwork. the paper bag, the 5 different photos of that bar scene & the inner sleeve that changed colors when you applied water to it. they went all out. thx for the video, jamal
The fact that they still produced this, when the world was starting to crumble about their ears, is testament to the fact that they are the best band there has ever been.
That is a great album. In through the out door. One of my favorites. Also if you liked this one check out all of my love or hey hey what can I do. They're also masterpieces
@@zoso7889 yeah it's on coda which isn't a studio album it's a compilation of songs from previous recordings that was released after bonzo died and the band was already broken up. Kind of sounds like I know what I'm talking about lol. Again, no such thing as a bad zeppelin album
That Bonham shuffle is exceptional. A timeless example of him at his best. Great selection and groovy as hell to see you enjoying one of the finest bands to ever rock this earth. One of my favorite bands of all time!
I was able to get an album that had a sleeve that had the color dye when you applied water to it. Then they started publishing them without that dye. And there's several different versions of the album with pictures from different angles.
Please react to the Clash an English band from the 70's & 80's, political punkish rock that added some reggae along the way. "Rocking the Casbah", "London Calling", "train in vain", "Guns of Brixton", "I fought the law" & "revolution rock" their truly a great mind that believed in what they were preaching like Rage Against the Machine years later.
Genesis did a song that has to be a nod to this one called "misunderstanding". The chords progression is similar and the lyrics are about a guy who waits in the rain for someone who doesn't show up. It's a great song. Check it out. It was released a year after this song and Phil Collins, who wrote it, has always been a huge Zeppelin fan (he played drums for them when they performed at Live Aid).
Actully misunderstanding is a rip off of the progression of a sly and family song hot fun in the summertime. At least years ago I read Phil got the idea from that
What's great about the half time shuffle made famous by Purdie is that Bonham, Porcaro (Rosanna/Lido Shuffle) and others have put their own spin on it...making yet more classic drum beats to inspire for generations.
Man, the drums on this song, especially after the big whistle are just astounding. I love how he brings it back around to the top with that snare roll at 4:50. Listen to it again for the first time.
It’s amazing the evolution of the band from LED Zeppelin 1 to In through the Outdoor, all of it freaking amazing. If you can, give South Bound Saurez and I’m Gonna Crawl a listen. ✌️
I become a rock legend when I hear this song. My air drumming skills are nuts, nuts I tell you 😆 Also mad respect for not interrupting the song every 30 seconds 🙌
J-man, your late night drops is messin' with my REMs, bruh! But, it's nice to come in from shoveling New England snow to a fresh J_AKA_J take. Keep on keepin' on!
This song became Led Zeppelin's last Top 40 in America. It peaked at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the early winter of 1980. This song and the Immigrant Song are two of my favorite from them. The end of a great group going out in style!!!
I've listened to many covers of this song and NO ONE has ever gotten the exact same shuffle beat that John Bonham is doing, not even Jason. Not only is it yet another great Zep song, but it's become a showcase for how good and unique Bonham was.
I got this album for Christmas of that year, and liked it from the start. From the same album also check out “All my love”, “Southbound Saurez”, “Caroselambra”, “I’m gonna crawl”, and one with a country flair, “Hot Dog”. Enjoy!
This is my ultimate favorite song EVER! Led Zeppelin is a band that always changed things up. I'm glad to see you here again Jamal. I haven't seen your videos in awhile.
Love the Green Screen but I always enjoyed seeing the different things in your background too. ;) My wife and I are both subscribed and when we see you have posted, we let each other know or we watch it together. Much peace brother. You're making the world a little better by keeping great music alive.
That "groove" is called a 1/2 time shuffle,a tricky,exacting beat to play on the kit,and,there is way more going on in those drum parts, throughout the whole song, than meets the ear.Great song and essential Zeppelin for sure
Jamel, if you haven't already you should do a reaction to the LED Zeppelin song "Hot Dog" from their "In Through the out Door* Album. It is just a real cool and fun song.
I particularly love this Led Zeppelin album. As their final album, which had rather mixed reviews, it will always have a special place in my heart. It came out during my final year in high school 1979. But back in 1977, I attended my first ever rock concert. Led Zeppelin was playing an outdoor stadium in Tampa, Florida. After the first couple of songs the sky erupted with a typical summer thunderstorm. You could count on that almost any day during the summer in Florida. But for some reason, instead of waiting a little bit and letting things clear up, the band was whisked away. Once the crowd figured out what happened there ended up being a riot. Luckily, I wasn’t anywhere near the rioters. But what an introduction to rock ‘n’ roll concerts. My next concert was a few months later when I got to see Peter Frampton along with a few other bands during a day long festival in Orlando, Florida. Frampton was touring to promote his Frampton Comes Alive double album. It was a much better second concert experience! But back to In Through the Out Door. As soon as this album was released I headed down to the local record store to purchase it. I didn’t even know what the album title was, just that Led Zeppelin had put out a brand new album. At that time we still had these huge record stores. Where I lived in Clearwater, Florida they had a Peaches record store. It was kind of the department store of record stores. For security reasons you even went through a turnstile to get in. Anyway, somehow I got turned around and entered the store through the exit. Then I found my way to the Led Zeppelin albums to pick up the new release and learn that the title was “In Through the Outdoor.” I was quite amused to realize that was what I had just done! I know this is a silly little antidote. But it always stuck with me. And whenever I hear a song from this album I remember going to purchase it by going in through the out door. Even if this album doesn’t have the greatest, most classic Zeppelin songs, it still contains some great cuts. I particularly like this one, with the Caribbean sort of sound in that middle section.
One of the best example of the John Bonham half time shuffle groove. Known to all drummers. And the inspiration to many future leading session drummers like Bernard Purdie and Jeff Porcaro. (Yes yes I know both those guys were rocking it long before this album came out, but that’s still a fact).
