Prog Synch Listen: Led Zeppelin. The Levee Broke

[C]

Well I'm onto track 2.

Correct



Foot tapping, body swaying, head nodding

Lovely jubbly





.

[Diamond Dog]

This is such a great tune..... so many little parts that get kind of forgotten, which really embellish the whole.

[soundchaser]

You listen to Zeppelin in contrast to most rock bands of the time and they are just so assured. So confident.

Just needed the right manager...

[Diamond Dog]

Lazy jazz groove.

[C]

Great guitar from Jimmy - so penetrating

and Robert sings it so well






.

[soundchaser]

Swagger.

Just needed the right manager...

Do you mean that in a positive or negative way?

[C]

Lazy jazz groove.

GONG!!!!

I love this bit






.

[Diamond Dog]

I fucking love the stereo play at the end.

[C]

No JJ yet tonight - that is very unusual

I hope all is ok

[C]

I fucking love the stereo play at the end.

Indeed - delightful

Do you mean that in a positive or negative way?

Oh positive, absolutely. A commanding presence.

[Diamond Dog]

I always loved "The Lemon Song" but... I wish it had been mixed a but clearer.

[Diamond Dog]

But just listen to Jonesy!!

[soundchaser]

But just listen to Jonesy!!

I know. I was just doing exactly that.

[C]

Yes, II remains my favourite Led Zep album

I recall hearing it for the first time in the autumn of 1969.

I had already seen them once - late 1968 (November I think) but when I heard II it just absolutely blew me away.

I recall as a 16 year old proudly carrying the album under my arm around school.

oooooof!

Yep - the cement

[Diamond Dog]

Bonzo is just beautiful though.

[C]

I should have put my headphones on!

Nice little splash cymbal there (twice)

6" I reckon

[Diamond Dog]

I NEVER get bored of those bass drum attacks!
