Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone

I came across a good blog post about Led Zeppelin's "Ten Years Gone" here. The song is off of the band's sixth studio album, Physical Graffiti (1975). "Ten Years Gone" is not just one of my favorite Zeppelin songs, but one of my favorite songs ever.

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (2007 Reunion)

One of Led Zeppelin's classics and another great from Physical Graffiti is "Kashmir."

Physical Graffiti Site to Become Led Zeppelin-Themed Tea Shop

Staying on the topic of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album. I came across this story a few months ago that the building which served as the cover for the album is now being transformed into a tea shop. Click this for the full story.

Led Zeppelin - Bron Yr Aur

Here's a clip from The Song Remains The Same which I mentioned in my previous post with "Bron-Yr-Aur" - the non-stomp version - being played.

Led Zeppelin - Bron-Yr-Aur

I'm going to go back to my post here in March about "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp." The video above is "Bron-Yr-Aur," which was misspelled on the Physical Graffiti album as "Bron-Y-Aur." The studio version appears during the film, The Song Remains the Same. As the video title says it's not the "Stomp" version, which appears on Led Zeppelin III.

Robert Plant and The Band of Joy - 12 Gates to the City

This is such an uplifting song that Robert Plant and the Band of Joy played on Friday October 29, 2010 for the BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms. The song is an amalgamation of "12 Gates to the City" by Reverend Gary Davis; "Wade in the Water" a traditional song which appears on Patty Griffin's Downtown Church (2010) album; and Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying," also a traditional song which was on the band's Physical Graffiti (1976) album.

The choir is good, although not really necessary, not when you have Robert Plant and Patty Griffin singing. I really like that Plant appears to be having a great time on stage, which seems easy since he has put together such an ultra-talented group.

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.

Led Zeppelin - Custard Pie

Led Zeppelin performing "Custard Pie" off of Physical Graffiti (1975). The opening track of the album and a song that gets overlooked on a record filled with heavyweights such as "The Wanton Song," "The Rover," "Ten Years Gone" and "Kashmir."

Led Zeppelin - Boogie With Stu

For whatever reason this Led Zeppelin classic has been stuck in my head lately. Rolling Stones' piano player Ian Stewart joined in and played with the band on this one, which is off of the Physical Graffiti album (1975). It's different than what you might expect from LZ, but still works. According to the Wikipedia article, Robert Plant played guitar while Jimmy Page played mandolin. Click this to listen.
