For those who think it's too long:
when it's good, longer is better than not enough. The changeups and splendid guitar riffs make it a great MOFO of a song. Just go with the flow and feel it.
An 8 in my book.

Everybody in this public toilet loves this song! Really puts a spring in my step on this bright crisp autumn day! At least, I think they like it, they're all banging on my cubicle door! They must want me to turn it up! OK, now they're starting to throw things over the door, the door's just been broken down, my word, you are a big gentleman...

Very long, but verse riff is one of their best

Would love to hear Zepp and the Doors played with equivalent frequency as Dylan, Neil Young, et al. are....especially during North American business hours!

Yes! And once again played, well-sequenced after The Mummers Dance. It even makes a sentence of sorts: The Mummers Dance — In The Light. Great visual.

I've been wondering for a while why I wasn't hearing this on RP, and along it comes just before I check to see if it had been mysteriously overlooked in the uploads dept. How the hell can you follow Kashmir in a running order? Just like this! Sublime, though helping along with a little judicious trimming on the timing choice of crossfading in and out doesn't go amiss, when heard in this radio running order. Give me five! In a four sticks kinda way.  Then bring me Gong C O'N {#Propeller}

I guess that's why this heterosexual female never considered it a phase. Once LZ, always LZ. It's imprinted. It's all there - complete music.

To which westslope replied:  I dunno.  It was overplayed and overplayed loudly at parties.....    Some of the edge struck me as gratuitous....  There were lots of bands that were as or more inspiring during the period.

 
And of course there's the whole thing about Robert Plant's cat doing all the singing...  No LZ phase for me.

Back then, I liked and respected LZ but would never have been classified as a huge fan.  About one year ago, I revisited their catalog and been a huge fan ever since.  I am glad I kept it in the freezer for 35+ years, it came out a fresh as new.

My LZ phase has lasted about 42 years so far! 

A stellar track from a stellar album.

Unless they never graduate from the AC/DC phase. For these heterosexual males the walkabout has not succeeded and the tribe relegates them to a beta status where even breeding is considered a privilege. Many of these males are indeed expelled from the tribe and walk the earth alone, cursing out the music of Rush and Led Zeppelin as "arty fag shit."

It still amazes me that hearing a Zep song can make me slip the bonds of my brain and fly to places I've only ever imagined.  Physical Graffiti is such a gem - so many levels of light and dark, so many different facets to each band member's abilities.  (Page is playing a theremin - I don't know much about it, but it's a very old instrument, and is played without physical contact.  There's a very extensive Wiki entry about it.
 
That Jimmy Page could play one as skillfully as he does in this song tells me that even his drug issues couldn't smother his talent... I love this song...

For those of you who like this song, search the web for the outtakes from the PG sessions. there are versions of this song that have similarities to this version (same heavy riff) but go in a very different direction at points. It's amazing

I am LOVING this end-of-life/afterlife/afterworld set.

This is why we need Radio Paradise! Statistics and algorithms cannot mix music like genius DJs can.

Thanks Bill and Rebecca!

It was In Through The Out Door  where JPJ took a lead in the development and songwriting for the band.  I believe all was still well at the time of Physical Graffiti, but 2 albums later Jimmy Page was having issues with drugs, and as a result In Through The Out Door was mostly a collaborative effort between Robert Plant and John Paul Jones.
