spidersandsnakes Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Its Zeppelin's most ambitious album. I tend to agree with jho here, but it isn't Zep's BEST album:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the chase Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've been selecting and playing just the 8 tracks from the 1974 sessions quite a bit recently and that would have been one heavy album ! Custard Pie In My Time Of Dying Trampled Underfoot Kashmir InThe Light 10 years Gone The Wanton Song Sick Again or whatever running order works for you..... not as good of course as the full 15 tracks, but very interesting and did I mention HEAVY.. This way i hear alot more comparisons to Presence as a follow-up. .... no keyboads or strings, but very powerful rockin' tracks. anyhow just wanted to throw that out there. enjoy your day.

These would be a great selection for an album, but a long single album for this time period. Before the age of cds when albums generally ran 40-45 minutes, while this one ran around 55 minutes or so from these sessions. I'm guessing that's why they decided to include those earlier sessions dating back to 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to think that even if PG had been these songs only, it still would have been an amazing album. That's how good they were/are and it really shows how strong the album itself is. I would never take out the other 7 songs, but those eight songs are all quite good. Wouldn't have been too shabby if they had stood alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpense Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Listened to the whole (SHM-CD version) CD a day ago and it doesn't get old even after first hearing it when it was released back in 75. Outside of the popular tracks, In My Time of Dying and Bron-Yr-Aur really show the variety and skill of Jimmy and the band. Bonzo's drumming on IMTOD is simply outstanding.

Jaime Emilio Fung Casiano Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME Definitely in the top 100 rock albums of all time. If they had released it as a single album I believe it could compete for top 10 greatest rock albums of all time: Physical Graffiti Single LP (fictional) Side One: Custard Pie The Rover Houses of the Holy Trampled Underfoot Side Two: Night Flight Wanton Song Ten Years Gone Kashmir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm going off topic a bit here. If there ever was a double album that should have been edited down to one I would choose Hendrix's 'Electric Ladyland'. This was Jimi's first and only self produced record and was a bit of a rambling disaster but contained some great songs. Electric Ladyland: Edited (by me) 1. Have You Ever Been 2. Crosstown Traffic 3. Gypsy Eyes 4. Long Hot Summer Night 5. Burning of the Midnight Lamp 6. Still Rainin Still Dreamin 7. House Burning Down 8. All Along the Watchtower 9. Voodoo Cile (slight return) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Houses of the Holy Trampled Underfoot Kashmir Night Flight Wanton Song Ten Years gone Sick Again In My Time of Dying (edited down to 6 minutes) Needless to say the glorious die cut cover stays intact (disc 2 is a freebie EP incl. Whole Lotta Love/Immigrant song/Stairway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
