Evster2012 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I would say In the Evening, but I don't like the production. I find it hard to get inside the sound. It's a bit too dense sonically IMO. Great song though! I'll vote for Carouselambra. Oddly, my favorite parts of both songs are the middle sections. Deep and murky (in a good way). Fool in the Rain is a great song... My band has always done Hot Dog, All My Love and I'm Gonna Crawl. Aw crap, now I'm revisiting the merits of all the tracks! Nah, I can't choose.

I'm Gonna Crawl I don't really find such a great song writing-wise, but Jimmy's solo there is among his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Gonna Crawl I don't really find such a great song writing-wise, but Jimmy's solo there is among his best. That song always had more meaning to me because it was the last song off the last studio album they did and the fact it's a slow, bluesy number, really hit me. For a long time I couldn't listen to it after Bonzo died. Was too sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I always remember reading about Knebworth and all that, there was a huge feature on it in the biggest daily here that I just devoured, and have since lost, regrettably. But I see what you mean - an almost uncannily fitting final song, in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see what you mean - an almost uncannily fitting final song, in a way. I got the album after Bonzo had passed and listening to it all the way through, that track felt so final. I remember overwhelming sadness as I was so hoping to see them in concert (even though I was a bit too young). As an aside, the Knebworth bootleg was my first unofficial purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I gotta say im loving Im gonna crawl. That song means alot to me its more of an emotional attachment http://media.photobucket.com/image/ledzepp...ed-zeppelin.jpg This song tears me apart. This expresses the hopelessness of life and love. What a fitting swan song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a teenager, my friends and I always drew a bookend between the first album and ITTOD. The last song on the first album (How Many More Times) had the phrase "I'm sure you're gonna crawl". The last song on the "last" album was "I'm gonna crawl". It was one of those things you read into something that really isn't there, but makes a young fan point a finger (with smouldering joint in hand) and say "Hey man". Yeah, between Knebworth, Creem magazine, and the release of ITTOD, it was Zeppelin heaven at my school! Zeppelin were BACK man! It was food from the godz! We were way too excited to look for things to criticize, and after it all settled in, I never found a need to. Another gospel to add to the canon. Another epistle from Sts P,P,B & J. Canonized to this day. That's my feeling about it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Historian Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 In The Evening and Fool In The Rain...so two there Out of interest, Hot Dog is the one LZ song I really dislike. I always skip it. (Hot Dog) Yeah, it wasn't made to be taken seriously. It's a joke tune. You gotta have humor to appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page's Plectrum Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 My favourite is In The Evening, an amazing intro into an amazing song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickTangerine Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'm Gonna Crawl, for sure, one of my favourites. The other songs on the album are good too, well I hate Fool in the Rain, so excluding that, I am beggining to appreciate Carouselambra, the last part kinda bothers me still, but the first two parts are great I also love Hot Dog, it's a great song, much better than Stairway to Heaven in my opinion..

Page's Plectrum Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Fool In Then Rain, Is the ex England football/soccer manager Steve mc claren, standing like a clueless fool in the rain at Wembley while the team of overpaid donkeys were f**king up on the pitch.

timothy5151 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 For me, it has to be Fool In The Rain. South Bound Saurez is a close number 2. I absolutely love this album. When I take a break from everything and listen to this album, it just frees my mind and relaxes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
