dpat Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi, Found this link to audio (it starts with Jonesy teaching the ABC's to his kids), but then at about starting about at 0:40 and ending about 1:55, Bonham and Plant seem to be "discussing" how to end "In My Time of Dying." I'm not quite up to speed with the Midlands accent, could someone translate? Thanks!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjE_9H4bsTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite up to speed with the Midlands accent, could someone translate? Thanks!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjE_9H4bsTY There is a partial transcript of this interchange between Percy and Bonzo in Dave Lewis' book "Led Zeppelin - A Celebration". A fair bit of the conversation is indistinct, but my English ears can pick out the following: Bonzo: We have to have a count - there's got to be a count. It would be easy, but the way Rob ... (indistinct) ... No, just a minute though, Rob's vocal's never the same thing! (Music starts up again) We have to have a count! Because Robert then, he'll have, freedom - and then it doesn't matter what length Rob does, we still can do it, we count. Robert: Well where are you counting from now? Bonzo: Well, you can't count from when you stopped 'cos your vocal might be a different ... I mean, your voice might just go half a beat and we're gonna be fucked Robert: Ah, but if you do that, it'll be like Black Dog, and it gives me room to move and turn Bonzo: Yes, and the reason we did Black Dog is that we counted it and you did it afterwards Robert: I see Bonzo: It's the only way we can do this Music starts up again Hope that helps!

FireOpal Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 They're arguing about how the count should go. And comparing it to how they worked out the count in Black Dog. I've always wondered: were Plant & Bonham the only ones contributing to the discussion, or were they simply the loudest. One never seems to hear Jimmy or Jonesy in those rehearsal tapes - I guess they were too soft-spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstickbonzo Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I hear Jonesy talking between Bonzo's first exchange of having a count. I always loved hearing the studio chatter and the first attempts and arrangements compared to the finished pieces. It shows their human side and also shows other musicians that even Led Zeppelin had to work hard at creating great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm waiting for the "why don't you fucking understand". "I'm going to kick your fucking ass" and "you and me, we're fucking done professionally" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandown Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 BTW, I'm pretty sure the "ABC" part is fake. It's not anyone from Zep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpat Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 BTW, I'm pretty sure the "ABC" part is fake. It's not anyone from Zep. It sounds VERY much like John Paul Jones' voice. Probably not part of the tapes originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
