John1972 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I hear that, Dave. It's so great to see The Ocean live on stage. I think I'll throw the disc in myself. You talked me into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 From the All Things Music page on Facebook: ON THIS DATE (42 YEARS AGO) October 22, 1969 – Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II is released. # ALL THINGS MUSIC PLUS+ 5/5 # Allmusic 5/5 stars # Rolling Stone (see original Rolling Stone review below) Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album by Led Zeppelin, released on this date in October 1969 on Atlantic Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at several locations in the United Kingdom and North America from January to August 1969. Production was entirely credited to lead guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page, while it also served as Led Zeppelin's first album to utilise the recording techniques of engineer Eddie Kramer. Led Zeppelin II furthered the lyrical themes established on their debut album, creating a work that became more widely acclaimed and influential than its predecessor. With elements of blues and folk music, it also exhibits the band's evolving musical style of blues-derived material and their guitar and riff-based sound. It is the heaviest album of the band. Upon release, Led Zeppelin II earned a considerable amount of sales and was Led Zeppelin's first album to reach #1 in the UK and the US. In 1970, art director David Juniper was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for the album. On 15 November 1999, it was certified 12x Platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 12 million copies. Following its initial reception, it has been recognised by writers and music critics as one of the greatest and most influential rock albums ever recorded. ORIGINAL ROLLING STONE REVIEW By John Mendelsohn December 13, 1969 Hey, man, I take it all back! This is one fucking heavyweight of the album! OK — I'll concede that until you've listened to the album eight hundred times, as I have, it seems as if it's just one especially heavy song extended over the space of two whole sides. But, hey! you've got to admit that the Zeppelin has their distinctive and enchanting formula down stone-cold, man. Like you get the impression they could do it in their sleep. And who can deny that Jimmy Page is the absolute number-one heaviest white blues guitarist between 5'4" and 5'8" in the world?? Shit, man, on this album he further demonstrates that he could absolutely fucking shut down any whitebluesman alive, and with one fucking hand tied behind his back too. "Whole Lotta Love," which opens the album, has to be the heaviest thing I've run across (or, more accurately, that's run across me) since "Parchmant Farm" on Vincebus Eruptum. Like I listened to the break (Jimmy wrenching some simply indescribable sounds out of his axe while your stereo goes ape-shit) on some heavy Vietnamese weed and very nearly had my mind blown. Hey, I know what you're thinking. "That's not very objective." But dig: I also listened to it on mescaline, some old Romilar, Novocain, and ground up Fusion, and it was just as mind-boggling as before. I must admit I haven't listened to it straight yet — I don't think a group this heavy is best enjoyed that way. Anyhow . . . Robert Plant, who is rumored to sing some notes on this record that only dogs can hear, demonstrates his heaviness on "The Lemon Song." When he yells "Shake me 'til the juice runs down my leg," you can't help but flash on the fact that the lemon is a cleverly-disguised phallic metaphor. Cunning Rob, sticking all this eroticism in between the lines just like his blues-beltin' ancestors! And then (then) there's "Moby Dick," which will be for John Bonham what "Toad" has been for Baker. John demonstrates on this track that had he half a mind he could shut down Baker even without sticks, as most of his intriguing solo is done with bare hands. The album ends with a far-out blues number called "Bring It On Home," during which Rob contributes some very convincing moaning and harp-playing, and sings "Wadge da train roll down da track." Who said that white men couldn't sing blues? I mean, like, who? ***** TRACKS: Side One "Whole Lotta Love" (John Bonham/Willie Dixon/John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant) 5:34 "What Is and What Should Never Be" (Page/Plant) 4:47 "The Lemon Song" (Bonham/Burnett/Jones/Page/Plant) 6:20 "Thank You" (Page/Plant) 4:47 Side Two “Heartbreaker" (Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant) 4:15 "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" (Page/Plant) 2:40 "Ramble On" (Page/Plant) 4:35 "Moby Dick" (Bonham/Jones/Page) 4:25 "Bring It On Home" (Page/Plant/Dixon) 4:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbugclub Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 25th Oct 1968, Led Zeppelin appeared at the Battersea campus of Surrey University, England. Formerly the Battersea Polytechnic Institute, the concert took place in the Great Hall of the Battersea Park Road site, a 19-century Listed building founde in 1891 and designed by architect E. W. Mountford. Although there are unconfirmed reports of earlier shows, this appears to be the band's first gig with their new name (after initially performing as The New Yardbirds). In 2003 a poster for the gig (billing the group as The New Yardbirds) sold at auction for £2,400.

Mudbugclub Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 October 31: On this day in 1970, Led Zeppelin started a four-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with Led Zeppelin III, the band's second US chart topper. 1969 had been a landmark year for Led Zeppelin, but exhausting: four US tours, five UK/European tours, two album releases and one huge single, "Whole Lotta Love," which was gold in the US and Number 1 in Germany...
