Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramble_On:- There has been much doubt around Bonham's percussions in the background throughout the song, having regard to the particular resonance that it captures. There are no versions consistent in this respect: often mistaken for bongos, some said of a small plastic bin for waste played with the hands from the side of the bottom, others about the sticks on his drum kit vinyl seat pad, or even the soles of the shoes he wore during the recording session and so rhythmically beaten with his drum sticks; the book John Bonham: A Thunder of Drums reports instead of a hard case for guitar on which Bonham improvised percussion background with bare hands |

Will always love this song...and the production is masterful.
...and just what IS that tapping sound throughout? Perfect!

Ah this one hits home. I first heard this in the middle of a year long hitch hiking jaunt across the 'ol U.S. of A. A young long hair with hardly a care just passing thru most of the communities I visited. I was a former military brat a'travelin' and seein' don't'cha know? And to paraphrase Kurt Vonnegut...so it went. Time passed. Ah..such nostalgia this song brings to me. So it goes.

IS there another song more godlike? If there is one, I haven't heard it. |

"the turn of the late sixties/early seventies bands (the best era of music for me)": No shite, Pedro. There were GIANTS in those days! My daughters even think of it as Rock's Golden Age. I guess the music was to compensate for just about everything else being so crappy. Strange Days had found us. P.s., my vinyls are definitely NOT in mint condition: we played the grooves off the first 3 Zep albumds. |

One of my faves. My 12yo loves this too. He loves that Plant was such a Toklien freak, which got him more interested in Zeppelin.

After seeing the Who live a few times, I became a huge Entwistle fan. Probably the most "fluid" rock bassist I could think of. He did a solo on the Quadrophenia tour that was mind-blowing. May he rest in peace.
Agreed, just listen to the bass on The Real Me from Quadrophenia, it's just sick ! |
