This was the FIRST live music I ever heard - BY ACCIDENT. Went to see Taj Mahal, the opening act for "some band" I never heard of (!) Got 8th row seats on the center aisle of a small, acoustically perfect classical music venue. I was pretty excited... Then the promoter came out and apologized; Taj's truck had broken down, and he wasn't going to make it. I wanted to leave, but my older brother wanted to stay. I remember that the promoter offered, "You can either have four hours of Led Zeppelin, or you can leave and get your $5 back." We stayed. That night, Jimmy Page ruined a perfectly good Boy Scout.

At any time, he and page may each be playing seperate intertwining halves of the melody line, and plants voice is more like an instrument than vocals. And my god, Bonham...

Reading this little thread ended with me making a decision. When we get back into full swing with live music, I’m going to make a point of seeing at least one of the old greats before it’s too late. Not sure if the remaining Led Zeppelin guys will hit the road ever again, but perhaps someone like Santana or whoever from that general era might be doing some shows. It really is a treat to see guys like that. Awakes something inside of you. Like has been said - a connection. It’s visceral. It’s healthy. It’s magical.

More than that, four musicians of incredible skill at the peak of their powers. It's why pretty much all the heavy metal bands (many of them very good) never got close to Zep. Jimmy Page was a consummate technical guitarist, Plant had a vocal range and skill one in a million, JPJ and Bonham were masters of their crafts. There have been very few bands of any kind, metal or not, who had musicians of such skill at each position. Then they turned it up to 11 and did things that were outrageous for the time and never matched since. The thing about Ramble On is it describes the style of the music and not just the lyrics. The song is relentless, even when it starts softly with a acoustic guitar and pitter-patter drums in the background, it reaches out, grabs you and takes you for a musical ride. That "click-track" drum beat is absolutely essential to the whole thing. It drives the song forward.

Also influential was his showmanship and stage theatrics as a live performer! Yes, I've thought to myself before, if people sometimes think Jimmy seems a bit full of himself, it's at least well earned. Just his contributions to music production would have merited him a solid place in the halls of rock history. That there's an argument to be made that he's also the best ever rock songwriter is astonishing. That neither of these things are even the particular musical talent _for which he's best known_ (I often hear him referred to as one of the 'guitar gods')...it's almost inconceivable. For those that don't know, before Zeppelin and The Yardbirds, Jimmy was one of the most sought-after session musicians in England, and he played guitar on dozens of hits back in the '60s.

Looking back, I realize what a lucky kid I was, growing up in a time when music was exploding with genius. Thank you for such a fantastic breakdown of this masterpiece.

In 1969, I was 15 years old, and remember vividly the first time I heard Ramble On. There was an incredibly powerful radio station out of Mexico (known for Wolfman Jack), that we got, very clearly, at night. I was laying in bed listening to a little alarm clock radio, and Ramble On came on. I almost broke down crying. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It was days before I found out what it was. It was the most incredible time to be 15, ever. The great music was just pouring out from everywhere. Me and my friends argued every day about what was the greatest new song. Great memories.

When I was a kid, we all thought of Jimmy Page as "lead guitar." Wasn't till I read some bios that I found out about Pagey's history. The guy was a session ace, he had a complete career before Zep. Zep was his vision, his idea of what a perfect mix of all the elements of the bands he'd been in before would be. He approached Zep as Producer and Arranger, not as guitarist. That's why he brought in a lead singer no one had heard anything like before, a drummer who he could feature as a lead instrument, and a second arranger his complete equal, the almighty JPJ. Greatest rock band ever? Pagey did it by design.

The bass sound is pure genius, long live Jonesy! Love the fantastic overall analysis by Rick, it makes this classic even more enjoyable. Led Zeppelin’s ability to create so many different facets of rock music proves that they are simply the greatest of all time, and to think their average age when writing this iconic song is less than 23, their talents were simply out of this world!

This is truly a wonderful presentation and you are a master at showcasing the music we all love. But I have to end on a note of sadness that as a drummer all I can think of is how sad I am that John Bonham is not here to watch this video with the rest of us, but we must believe he is in a better place shining some light down on us and I'm sure he would have loved this.

Yes! Page’s greatest strength is being able to lay down any number of tracks that each sound great on their own, with the sum being greater than the parts when taken as a whole.
