Reap Synch Listens

[Nancy]

This, for me, is one of the best tracks on this fine LP








.

It's actually my least favorite, but ranking these songs is like having to choose which child you would rank over another. Even at my least favorite, this song is still about a 13 on a 10 scale.

So, side 1 or side 2...?






.

Side 1 by a microscopic whisker.

Robert loves this song.

i understand why.

[Nancy]

Robert loves this song.

He's not alone.

[Diamond Dog]

But, kids, this is their finest moment. It's the greatest. Full stop. End of. Luxuriate in its brilliance.

[Nancy]

But, kids, this is their finest moment. It's the greatest. Full stop. End of. Luxuriate in its brilliance.

And a masterpiece of arrangement and production.

Pete, did any of the very few times they did this live on the PG tour make it onto a bootleg?

[Diamond Dog]

When the Levee Breaks

How did they get that tubs sound?





.

Bottom of a stairwell.

[Nancy]

And, I'll say it again - Robert is a monolithic harmonica player. Just godly.

Yeah there's one from Chicago in 75. It didn't really work. Weirdly enough.

The best track on the album - awesome!

For me, almost Led Zep's finest moments (LZII has a couple I rate higher)

*ducks*

[Diamond Dog]

This may be the greatest single production job ever.

It is fucking monumental. Jimmy take a bow.

Bottom of a stairwell.

And a few strategically suspended/placed microphones. Didn't they put one or two in a cupboard somewhere in Headley Grange just to get some ambient sound?

[Diamond Dog]

That harp. Aah Robert.

[Diamond Dog]

Just listen to JPJ's divebomber bass.

Jimmy take a bow.

For me, this song reduces LZ II to just a really good blues-inspired hard rock album. This song is the pinnacle of recorded rock and roll.

the bass playing is incredible
