Led Zeppelin - Bron-Y-Aur Stomp (Studio Version)

Following along on my two previous posts, the above video is the studio version of "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp," which appears on Led Zeppelin III. By the way, if you want to know the correct pronunciation click this which I came across on a website here.

Led Zeppelin Live @ Earl's Court (1975) - Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp

I first picked up a guitar when I was a little kid - probably around seven or eight. I broke a guitar string and decided to go for the piano instead. I was into playing for many years until college when I stopped and only played sporadically until a few years ago when I got back into it to some degree. I don't have a piano where I live so I'm not able to play as much as I would like. Although I have been looking at possibly buying a keyboard. Anyway, I started playing the guitar about three years ago. Someday I would like to be able to play this song, this incredible song off of Led Zeppelin III.

Just to clarify a couple of things: the song's title was misspelled on the album cover during initial printing and should read "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp." On another note, there is also an instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur" which is on Zeppelin's Physical Grafitti (1975) album.

Jimmy Page Discusses Led Zeppelin III

The Who did an album called The Who By Numbers in 1975 that often gets overlooked by some of their fans. Rolling Stone said at the time it "may have been their greatest album in the face of their personal problems." Some referred to it as Townshend's "suicide note." But songs like "Squeeze Box" and "Blue, Red and Grey" are not maudlin in any sense.

Led Zeppelin also had an album that many people overlook and that is Led Zeppelin III. Jimmy Page discusses the band's third album here. Zeppelin II featured "Whole Lotta Love" and Led Zeppelin IV featured "Rock and Roll" and a little song called "Stairway to Heaven," so I could see how some people skip over their third installment, plus many people describe III as Zep going acoustic. But III features some really great songs such as the bluesy "Since I've Been Loving You" and if you really want to rock out, "Out on the Tiles."
