Lex nails it. Learning about and acquiring music took more effort. Bands like Zeppelin didn't get much radio exposure, so you heard their albums through friends and at parties. Then it was off to the record store. It was not disposable or forgettable.

While it's true Zeppelin didn't release singles for radio play, and some of their songs were deemed too long by certain radio stations, your point is very misleading because the Zep songs that did get radio play got a *ton* of radio play...like, "Stairway To Heaven", for instance. So every kid who listened to rock stations knew who Zeppelin was--they didn't need to hear about the band from "parties" or from their friends.

@@Cosmo-Kramer depends where you lived. Stairway would have been the only Zep song I heard on the radio in my neck of the woods in the 1970s. Every other Zep tune was from friend's vinyl. So there's that. I lived it.

Yes, we had to buy records, sometimes singles, but ideally the entire album. I seem to recall pricing around 8-14 bucks in the early-mid 80's. Buying an actual album is so much better; take in the cover art, the liner notes, you'd read and re-read everything. This is why we know all the band members, the producers, recording studios and so on. You'd get introduced to music via friends just hanging out, at parties. Of course going to concerts was a big deal And we found places with these paper things called maps and streets had these metal signs so we could figure out where to turn...ha, ;)

Back story on this song: in medieval times (or maybe a lil before that), the custom was if you got the death penalty for certain crimes, you were given a choice. The choice was to pay what was called a "blood debt", which was compensate for the crime by paying $$$, or ELSE sentence was carried out & you got HUNG... if they couldn't pay, no slack was given... If you did the crime & got caught, you either paid or you got no mercy... keep in mind this was pre-1500 ad or something like that... That's why the lyrics say "what did ya bring me, my brother, TO KEEP ME FROM THE GALLOWS POLE?..." Many times, it was your family pooling resources & showing up at the last minute to save you, since you were standing there about to swing. So you better HOPE you had family OR were on GOOD terms with them...

"People probably had record collections." Yes, and some of us still do! It's nice to see Lex trying to get a picture of how it was back in the day. You couldn't just hear the music you wanted to when you wanted to unless you bought the record (or tape...) It was very different terms. Sometimes, you'd take a record over to your friend's house just so you could play it while hanging out. A lot of us ended up listening to entire albums, too, not just the hits, because why not? The record is playing, so let it go! We heard some great songs that way. Like this one. i knew a guy who owned one record, and he took it with him everywhere, waiting for a chance to play it. He didn't own a turntable.

A great number of their songs were originated from Delta Blues, mostly from artists that came off the chitlin circuit like Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Robert Johnson himself, and then a lot more came from American Rockabilly and early Rock and Roll. To say all their songs came from early folk songs is a great overstatement.

High end home stereos in the early seventies might have a reel to reel tspe player, but I honestly don't know how much music was availabe in that format.

I think I bought this album for $3 from Sears. Loved it, would poor hours over reading the information, looking at the album art, and sharing it with friends as invites to bring music would always be a common theme. We carried our music in milk crates or wooden crates we made ourselves. This is and always will be my favorite Zepplin song. It just has it all. To get exposed to music, people would visit and hang out in music stores, looking through the album selection, listening to something over the intercom and if your tastes were outside the norm of that music store, you simply took albums to a listening booth, and with headphones, played the album you were interested in. It was also a poor man's way of getting to listen to music they couldn't afford to buy, much like reading a book in the library instead of buying it or checking it out, you could listen to music in a music store. We also had college radio stations that would play the genre of your interests at some point in the week, going over trending hits, classic staples, and new upcoming possibilities within that genre of music. Whether at work, at home, driving, or out with friends socializing, the radio would be playing, and all would be listening, reacting, and celebrating together. As far as buying music, every town had a music store, and all the big-name stores had a music section. The music stores offered more catering to the music customer, but the availability of hot trendy albums or singles might only be kept up with via the big stores that had more readily available ordering times. Things were more interactive and social back then than today. It is ironic how social media actually makes people less social and less interactive, and less...

Guys, radio was the vehicle at first that flooded early rock into the airwaves. Elvis, BeachBoys, Beatles, etc . Then there was the FM radio which was like an underground channel for rock music. Those channels played entire albums on the air. Most popular FM channels were heard very late at night. DJs were usually stoned and played long uninterrupted periods of music. Bands who visited the city would be interviewed on air late at night so that folks would get to know them and buy their music at a store.

Even back in the 60s, we had ways of hearing about concerts (radio, newspapers, posters, etc.). Scoring good seats required connections or being first in line when tickets went on sale. Records were readily available in cities with record stores (less selection at department stores) and weren’t so very expensive (if you had a job). When going to visit friends, we’d always go through their record collection to find something to listen to, then listen to a side or the whole thing, so we’d have access to more music than what we could buy ourselves.

The fourth album, Stairway to Heaven and all that, was airmailed to a Welsh friend living in Sydney and I had my copy two weeks before the Australian release. Radio and friends, that is how you kept abreast of music. There was always at least one radio station that played the contemporary music. Music not popular enough for radio you picked up from friends. I was listening to Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and Jethro Tull without ever hearing them on radio thanks to friends. And a lot of hallucinogenics. It was the era. We went out to meet people, get stoned and listen to music.

Relaxing back into that beanbag chair and letting Zep rock you with a great sound system. Feel those vibrations through the bag and take a hit off the herb. I can feel it like yesterday.

“How did music get dispersed…?” Great question.! FM radio for the most part. DJs had more control of what to play and FM offered the radio format for playing Album tracks and not just popular hits. Cassette tapes. Everyone shared homemade tapes. Sony, Memorex, IBM, Maxell, TDK were just a few popular tape brands of the day.

There was a time when you could pay off the hangman and he might let you go! That's what makes this song funny in an ironic way!

Led Zeppelin took some flak for this album. After their first two storming, 'heavy' sounding hard blues-rock, they had some time in the countryside of Wales and wrote many of these more folk/acoustic inspired numbers. Various critics felt they'd run out of ideas but of course it showed the band was versatile and trying other things. And after all, rock and roll didn't come only from blues - it also came from country/folk, which when traced back goes back to English folk, Irish and Scottish folk (the Gaelic that Bred mentioned). I love this song and this album and the more acoustic-leaning songs. There's great footage of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones doing an acoustic part in the middle of a LZ gig at Earl's Court, London, 1975. 20 years later, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page would revisit the acoustic/folk sound for their 'No Quarter' tour. Great stuff.

This is a great one by them for sure. Yeah, I would argue that these concerts in the '60s and 70s and for me it would have been the mid to late seventies and into the early 80s, they definitely were much harder than today to coordinate, and to get to and just everything about it without the internet. Or cell phones. But I would say that on the other hand, when you got together at these things, everybody feels this incredible bond even though there could be tons of people there. You're all there for the same thing and it wasn't easy to get there but now you're there and this band is going to come out and totally kick ass and you're going to have a memory to last a lifetime. So much fun.

I does have a little bit of Blue Grass sound. Blue Grass is from Appalachia and the people from that area are of Irish and Scottish heritage. Scots and Irish are Gaelic/Celtic

Brad/Lex, this is bluegrass style (fast country music usually with banjo and mandolins) . Also flamenco (Spanish music) guitar finger picking and fast arpeggios. Also folk rock mix and Celtic/Gaelic rock mixed in. So no more confusing bluegrass with blues (much slower and soulful) , ok? lol

Lex, back in the day we heard music on the radio, as you said, and bought albums. We also shared music with each other, so a lot of what we heard came to us through word of mouth and other people's album collections. When cassettes became popular we copied albums for friends. There was also mail order music clubs like Columbia Records and Tapes or RCA Music Service. They ran ads in magazines or by direct mail where you could choose 7 or 10 or 15 albums for a penny (later a buck I think), on condition you buy a certain number at regular price in the next three years or some such. They didn't keep very good records, though, and many of us joined over and over and basically built decent collections for free, and many people probably never bought the regular price albums they were supposed to buy. I miss those times, but honestly there are pros and cons to both eras. Music was basically curated by the record companies then, so you didn't hear a lot of independent bands unless they became locally popular or ended up signed to a label. Whereas today anyone can publish their own music online, make videos, etc. So you get to hear a lot of stuff you wouldn't have in the 90s and before... but it can be too much, so you can never hear more than a small fraction of it all, and you have to wade through a lot of chaff to find the wheat. Brad, Gaelic refers to the Celtic people and language of Ireland, Scotland and Mann. The original inhabitants of Great Britain were also Celtic, of a different type with different but related language (Brythonic). After the Saxon and Norman invasions they were pushed back to Wales, Cornwall and some left Britain and inhabited an area of France called Brittany (named after the Britons who settled there). The Gauls, the original inhabitants of France and surrounding areas, were likewise Celts. This song isn't specifically Gaelic or Celtic but it does have a definite British Isles folk vibe.

For us rural rockers in the early 70s the fast way to start a record collection was to join the music label record clubs. Who remembers RCA Music Service or Columbia Record Club? They sent you a membership flyer in the US postal service. Vintage Spam in your mailbox. You pick out anywhere from a dozen to 20 albums for usually under 20 bucks. That got your foot in the door. Then it was either you got the album of the month in your catagory at full price which could be up to 8 bucks. Or if it was an album you didn’t want you’d say no to the sales letter every month. You could then pick the specials you liked. Some were sold at discount some were full price. It was an old fashioned music store in your mailbox each month. This helped you learn what turned you on so when you got a chance to go to the big mall music stores, you spent your little after school job money wisely on what you wanted. Back then teenagers could hook a job sweeping floors and stacking shelves at the local hardware or auto shop. Maybe cut lawns for pin money after school or weekends. Nowadays those little jobs are extinct because small businesses in small towns are rare. Just as rare as quality record stores. The big label record clubs are extinct. Thank goodness sites like this one keep the classics and new music supported and promoted.

Brad, you're exactly right. AND, what they didn't list in the lyrics that were showing on the screen at the end of the song, after the "I'd like nothing more than to see you swinging from the gallows pole", the lyrics are the hangman's laughs: "Ha-ha-haaa, ha-ha-haaaa. Ha-ha-haaa, ha-ha-haaaa. Ha-ha-haaa, ha-ha-haaaa. Ha-ha-haaa, ha-ha-haaaa."

Yes had to buy vinyl albums sometimes waiting weeks for one to come out and you lined up, paid and went home put on headphones and listened to it back to front and if it was a double album you’d listen to four sides and check out the lyrics to all the songs printed in the gatefold. You really savoured the music too, nothing to distract you it was delicious. Music is too available now and something precious has been lost it think.

I remember those days very well, hoping that the new album you bought by a favourite artist was as good as their last. Sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't, if you were really lucky, it could even be better! But a new album was something special and exciting, it was there in your hand placing it on the turntable and listening eagerly to new songs you are really hoping you will love.

It’s actually a 17th century English folk song. I learnt it in school. I guess that’s where Page heard it. He obviously made a fantastic version. Leadbelly made a version back in the 1930s. It was recorded under the misnomer “Gallis Pole”, because the engineer misheard what Leadbelly called it.
