You can check out his speech and the song in the video below. It’s a song of love in its most, in its most innocent stages. This song is really for our families, and friends, and the people who have been close to us through the lot. Some of them fall on their faces, and some of them are around to give us some strength when we’re a little bit down. It was really, those were the days, and has it changed that much? Has Cardiff changed that much? But things do change and, and through the changes, we meet a lot of friends. “Last time we played in Cardiff at the Locarno, the equipment was set up and they wouldn’t let us through the doors, because we didn’t have a tie on. He then adds that the song reflects love in its early, most innocent stages. Plant says in the video that the song is for our families, friends, and people who have been close to us while we are going through a lot.
Cheers.In a recording from the concert performed on May 24, 1975, by Led Zeppelin in Earls Court Arena, London, Robert Plant is also seen talking about ‘Tangerine’. I agree with most of your appraisals but obviously we digress when talking about the “lesser” albums (of which there are none). That’s a pleasant surprise…and certainly worthy. Nice to see Houses Of The Holy at the top of your list. Also, “Fool In The Rain” is “pop oriented”? Between Bonham’s modified Purdie Shuffle and the Stan Kenton-esque breakdown section, there’s funk & Latin-jazz in the DNA of that song. Historical context is essential, both within the band and what was going on musically at the time of each record. The general consensus that Presence and In Through The Out Door are lesser efforts is flawed, in my opinion. Perhaps they’re an example of “you had to be there,” and anyone born 10 years after me will have a completely different perspective. Page explained 'I wrote it after an emotional d. No two albums sound alike, and once you get past the first couple of albums no two songs sound alike. Tangerine is a song that dates back to when Page was with The Yardbirds.
I can never agree with any Zeppelin write-ups that talk about “worst” when just about everything they recorded was essential or close to it. But in the early days, How Many More Times, Dazed and Confused etc: now you’re talking. Robert Plant should be ashamed of himself. I’m afraid the third was a profound disappointment to me as a young man eagerly awaiting it.Īnd the fourth isn’t much better: Stairway is the most overrated song in all of rock music and if you really listen to the lyrics, don’t they make you want to throw up? Twee, pretentious nonsense. The second, with the ineffable Whole Lotta Love and What is and What Should Never Be, comes a close second.
TANGERINE LYRICS LED ZEPPELIN SKIN
Just the thing to make your Dad jump out of his skin when you put on Good Times Bad Times. Notice how close to the centre the grooves go. And that’s without the technical advantage Jimmy Page revealed: the vinyl album was pressed with extra wide grooves which provided more volume. What I love about the first album is the sense of joy you can really hear them loving playing together, particularly on You Shook Me.
I would go 1, 2, Physical Graffiti and the rest I’m really not fond of. Here are Led Zeppelin’s eight studio albums, ranked from worst to best. The group disbanded in 1980 after Bonham’s death. The group became distracted by external issues – Plant was involved in a serious car accident and lost a young son to a stomach virus, while Page and Bonham both struggled with addictions as the 1970s wore on. The most important distinction in Led Zeppelin’s discography is that their work can be divided into two tiers – their first six studio albums are all essential, while their final two have their moments but less focused and weaker. John Paul Jones is often the overlooked member, but his bass playing was always excellent, and his skills on keyboards and other instruments coloured the band’s material. Robert Plant was a commanding frontman, and Bonham’s powerful drumming propelled the band. Led Zeppelin continuously delved into new styles – they emerged from The Yardbirds, a 1960s blues band, but they also explored English folk and progressive rock and flirted with reggae and disco.Īll four members were supremely talented – Jimmy Page was a brilliant guitarist, with many memorable riffs, but he was also an amazing producer, and Led Zeppelin’s albums still sound amazing. They streamlined the sound of 1960s rock bands like Cream and The Who an important innovation was John Bonham’s crisp, groove-based drumming, which contrasted with the busy style of The Who’s Keith Moon and Cream’s Ginger Baker. Led Zeppelin were the archetypal hard rock band.
