Led Zeppelin (Official Thread)

[Riff Raff]

A little while ago there was some talking about Physical Graffiti. I always had a preference for this song:

That song is one of my favourites along with Custard Pie.

Unfortunately I never really got into Night Flight. The Rover, Kashmir, In the Light, Houses of the Holy... love those!

 

[Riff Raff]

I have been wondering why Houses of the Holy was never on the album of same name?

Here is what Wikipedia says:

Although the name of the song is "Houses of the Holy," the track does not appear on the earlier-released album Houses of the Holy. It was originally set to be the title track of that album but was removed when the band decided it did not fit. The song did not require any further re-mixing for its inclusion on Physical Graffiti, having already been fully mixed by audio engineer Eddie Kramer at the Electric Lady sessions in June 1972.

 

[Riff Raff]

Interesting. Fair enough too. I am just glad they did put the song on an album. Physical is my favourite LZ album.

 

[Khor1255]

Might be mine as well. It has some really great songs and two albums of goodness. There are some real gems here and it is exceedingly dynamic.

i saw that Legends episode on VH1 Classic around 2000 or '99. It was nice to see it again. I wish they'd bring those back. There was also Queen, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix I think.

My new favourite song on Led Zep I.

Currently listening to that song as I waddle through a crap ton of work. This song is EASILY the best acoustic (well mostly acoustic) song the band ever did. It's not even close.

Great great track!
