I pushed the volume all the way up for this one. After it was over I went to turn the volume down and the slider was missing.  I guess I turned it up and broke the knob off, as radio stations used to suggest?  |

In my growing up years the Big 4 gods of rock and roll were of course The Beatles, The Stones, The Who & Zeppelin.
My being an American and them English meant nothing .
I've loved hundreds of bands and solo artists since then and a number have moved past Zep on my all time last.
But.....being immersed in this as so many of my generation, this song and other evoke so much in me.
Love hearing it when I'm not expecting it.
Awesome RP

GENIUS
But I can't decide which is my favorite: When The Levee Breaks or Ten Years Gone ?

Good lord, the way Bonzo plays just behind the beat.
Love it.

He and Keith Moon were the freakin best. Ask Bill Bruford, Clive Deamer (Plant Band) and at least 50 others! I always thought Keith Moon was great - but.... |

Now there is a man after my own heart. Ran/mostly hiked 10km of rather wet trail in North Vancouver Sunday. We have both a good snow pack and lots of rain in the Coastal mountains this summer. |

Plants Harmonica work is so underrated. I cant decide which I enjoy more between it and Bonzo's amazing drumming.

Fred, glad to know the BBC is as overblown as I assumed. I grew up in the Atchafalaya Basin, and was front and center for the 1973 Morganza Spillway opening. The Bonne Carre spillway has been opened eight times in seven decades.
"Many" communities won't be affected, because there's not many communities in this natural floodplain. As far as being "wiped out"? Well, Cajuns were originally distributed throughout this region after banishment from Nova Scotia by means of water transport. The culture has stayed in close tune with water and pretty much rolls with the punches come flood time. Some houses will be lost, and some fortunes diminished - no doubt. Acadiana and it's resilient people, however, will continue and thrive.
Come on down, I'll meet you there for some catfish courtbullion and cochon de lait. The music is amazing!
All of this is to make sure the levee doesn't break. That would indeed be a cataclysm. |

Yep - rainwater. I do a lot of mountain walking in Scotland, and in summer and autumn the mountains are snow-free - the torrents and burns are filled by the plentiful rain the region enjoys. |
