Тема: Re[2]: [Heeplist] Led Zeppelin Deluxe Remasters


Thanks for kind words and...not at all, Rick! You are such a describer here, in LZ department, that hardly there's much left to add :)))))) I also like most of that but think that touring at such a "tender" age might ruin the image of some legendary musicians of the 60-s-70-s, LZ inclusive. On the other hand, we have people like John Lawton (just listen to the samples, they are worth it -  http://intelligent-music.com/productions/mykindoflovin/ ) who are still as good as ever before. And that is terrific! I was thrilled - and trust me, that doesn't happen that often :))))
Cheers, Igor

>Thanks for chiming in, Igor!  I have always valued your opinion here.  Yes, sometimes live one gets the feeling Pagey is thinking of "Lucifer's Rising" and not exactly what bar of the song that he is in.  lol  Some here seem to think that if one says that he likes Led Zep or The Sabs that one cannot appreciate The Heep or vice versa.  I think that we agree, it's all good, some more so than others.  I do think that "Houses of the Holy", however, is one of their most underrated and versatile albums.  Nary a duff song in the tracklisting, which includes "The Song Remains the Same", the monstrous "No Quarter", the driving "The Ocean", "The Rain Song", one of their best ever, the quintessential "D'yer Mak'er", and the amazing "Over the Hills and Far Away".  "Dancing Days" has a nice riff, and "The Crunge" is just a bit of light-heartedness that many probably feel is out of place, but I think boasts one of John Paul Jones' best bass parts.  Not to mention that it sold extremely well, 11 million or 11xPlatinum in the U.S. alone, and went to Number 1 in four countries.  Its follow-up, "Physical Graffiti" went 23xPlatinum, Number 1 in three countries and Number 2 in three others, and is basically just a compilation of older songs that didn't make it on other discs coupled with a few new, more adventurous numbers, which just happened to be some of their best: "Ten Years Gone", "In My Time of Dying", "Trampled Underfoot", "Kashmir" and "Houses of the Holy" are ample meat gathered together for a feast together with "throwaways" like "The Rover", JPJ's tour de force, "In the Light", and "Boogie with Stu'", just to name a few.  lol  Lest we forget "Achilles' Last Stand" and "Tea for One" both from "Presence"!  I could go on and on!  Suffice it to say, if I could secure a Reunion Tour of Asia with Jason Bonham together with The Heep, Meat Loaf, "Krokus" and anyone else who wants to jump on the bandwagon, then I could die satisfied... to a certain degree.  I'm just another "Fool in the Rain", "Hot Dog"!

>> I must add, even in the early days Led Zeppelin were not exactly a good band in terms of togetherness (for instance, Jones and Bonham did it properly, as they should, but Page seemed to be worlds away rhythmically, and Plant did the singing in very uneven, unbalanced way). And I am not always thrilled by the way Bonham had played, that's all too much for my taste. Still, they were very original and powerful, and if you like that combination of blues, psychedelic and hard rock - they were and are the best. But then again, it's not everybody's cup of tea. And I must agree that only first 4 albums were influential. However you can easily find rock anthems on each of their further works. For instance, I prefer LZ II to the rest but consider All Of My Love and I'm Gonna Crawl as good as anything off the first albums.
