Unironically, musicians describe a good groove where the timing is on point and everything is matching up perfectly as being "in the pocket" or "tight". Bonhams drums were very tight here and the entire groove was most definitely in the pocket, so you're right! Being able to be that groovy without modern editing and click tracks, just good ol fashioned instruments is difficult to say the least, but it always sounds better when it's more natural.

“In the pocket” is a common term used for drummers. Meaning their beat is on point and almost perfect. Bonzo was always in the pocket.

@Mottleydude1 2 жыл бұрын

Yea…I wish that were true but when I saw them in Chicago in 78 Bonzo was so drunk he couldn’t have found the pocket if you threw him into it. I can’t tell you what a crushing disappointment that was. I’ve seen more professional acts in local bars. Man for a few minutes we thought Jimmy Page was dead cause he laid flat on the stage for two minutes without doing anything until someone brought out a chair and he was able to sit in the chair. Imagine getting a chance to see one of the best bands ever and you catch them on their worst night.

@davepeesthepool 2 жыл бұрын

It's interesting that you say that because one of the things that I like so much about Bonham is that he doesn't slave to the beat. He keeps it driving but will happily swing some of the taps a little bit late, giving the beat just the barest hint of sludging along (if that makes sense). It makes the songs sound more organic and sultry (if that even makes sense).

@s.mcpherson6354 2 жыл бұрын

I'm a lousy drummer. But I've spent my life near really great musicians, and I have never heard that definition--although I accept that all we each have are definitions, not some deep truth. But in my musical life, "In the pocket" has always meant the drum is struck at--and often the other instruments meet at--the very bottom of the waveform of the beat. So you can push a beat, (or get ahead of it), pull the beat, (or lay it back, being slightly behind it), or, it can be deep 'in the pocket.' The latter is great for blues, because all of the instruments meet there for a moment. I'm not saying you're 'wrong,' I'm just adding the definition I've always heard other musicians using. Getting ahead of the beat can be good for Latin music, whereas some blues players prefer a laid back beat that is just a fraction 'late.' They each create a very subtly different effect, even at the same BPM.

"When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. When "When the Levee Breaks" was written the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was still fresh in people's memories. The flooding affected 26,000 square miles of the Mississippi Delta - hundreds were killed and hundreds of thousands of residents were forced to evacuate. The event is the subject of several blues songs, the most popular being "Backwater Blues" by Bessie Smith (1927) and "Mississippi Heavy Water Blues" by Barbecue Bob (1928). Ethel Douglas, Minnie's sister-in-law, recalled that Minnie was living with her family near Walls, Mississippi, when the levee broke in 1927. The song's lyrics recount the personal toll on a man who lost his home and family. Despite the tragedy, biographers also see in it a statement of rebirth.

The drums and harmonica evoke for me a Mississippi paddle steamer thrashing through a storm, with thunder and crashing waves. Steam locomotive sounds and sirens echoing in the background; we are in the middle of an apocalyptic tempest. A lot of the Blues is about just such things, and Zepp do it perfectly. Awesome bass line, btw. Brad, the original record by Joe and Minnie is much faster, as if trying (but not quite managing) to make light of the disaster. That's a Blues thing, too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZuGoLmn2NDde6s.html . Minnie was no mean guitarist either.

As others have mentioned, this song is a cover of a song from 1929 by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy about the Mississippi Delta flooding. The flood sent a lot of people North (go to Chicago). Zeppelin always crafted their songs; they were 4 master musicians who had the skill and talent to put a lot of musicianship into what they recorded. It also helped that guitarist Jimmy Page produced all their albums and arranged most of their music, however bassist John Paul Jones came from a similar background and added his skill to the already formidable instrument and recording department. The drums from this song were some of the most often sampled sounds in early hip hop. They recorded the instruments at regular speed then slowed them down in the mix to give it a slow, sludgy, backwater-blues sound. In addition, they added several effects to the vocals and backwards echo to the harmonica. It is a hypnotic, slightly menacing blues jam.

did the beasties nab this for 'whatcha want?' if they didn't sample it, they were trying to emulate it. one of my favourite, solid beats of all time. it's almost if he's just bit behind everything like you said, creating that sick groove.

I know it's not rational or healthy but his indifferent and dismissive $h!tty attitude sends me in a rage! How can he not, at the very least feel the thunderous bass drum? Also, I don't know why they can't check the songs facts AFTER they give their thoughts. They have this uncanny ability to think straight forward lyrics are metaphors and take metaphors literally.

He looks like he's bored of this job...I just watched the Mr Crowley intro, amongst the most unique and memorable intro's you'll hear and at the first stop he shrugs his shoulders and says 'I don't know I was listening to the lyrics'. They put out a tonne of videos, maybe they need a little break from the screen time.

The honesty is refreshing. Not everyone is going to like your favourite songs or my favourite songs. I kind of hate myself for watching reaction videos because there are NEVER negative reactions. I was relieved to see his reaction to this song and makes me want to stick with the channel. If they ever do "Rock And Roll" I am curious if that fast Zep song will resonate with him or not.

This song features an absolutely legendary drum sound from a production standpoint. I mean listen to that thump! They actually put the drums of the bottom of a stairwell and miked it from much higher and then just crushed those microphones with compression and added a bit of primitive delay. Got to remember this is a zillion years ago in terms of record engineering technology and it still sounds amazing

» "When the Levee Breaks" is a country blues song written and first recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. "When the Levee Breaks" was re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on their untitled fourth album. Singer Robert Plant used many of the original lyrics and the songwriting is credited to Memphis Minnie and the individual members of Led Zeppelin. Many other artists have performed and recorded versions of the song. » Wikipedia
