Greatest rhythm section in rock history. Prove me wrong.
HOT TUNA
You’re 1000% more than correct
Rush…..Cream….The police…….
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
John Entwistle and Keith Moon.
man that bass just makes you wanna get up and swing till you drop
Yes, this is superb and the in-house engineers at Polar must have loved it :)
Being so radically different from Presence, I believe that In Through The Out Door was the beginning of the next evolution of Led Zeppelin. Such a shame we never got to see where it would wind up.
I read an interview with Page and he said that while he liked ITTOD he and Bonzo were of the same mind that it was too keyboard oriented and that they both wanted a more Rock sound in the next album. Unfortunately, as we all know, that never came to pass. Man, I would have LOVED to see what the band came up with on that next album!!!
Wasn't so much a new direction as it was Page and Bonham in the depths of substance abuse and unable to contribute to the songwriting process, so it was mainly Jones and Plant writing the songs. Jones had recently got a new synthesizer and was kind of enamored with it, hence the heavy synth influence on the album
I read an interview with Plant where he said the band was taking a direction that wasn't going "to be acceptable to the mass of fans" - wish it had happened.
New wave, probably. I don't know, it might have worked.
They were done. They never would have made it through the '80s.
One of John Paul Jones's masterpieces. The entire "In through the out door" album would deserve a suitable remix. I love this album, unlike many people. Thank you, anyway, for these isolated tracks. Thumb up, of course.
CZcams doesn't allow thumbs down, of course.
You can hear so much nuance in the drumming during these isolated tracks. The ghost notes are tasty, and how he plays behind the beat is astounding. JPJ bass compliments Bonham perfectly.
That bass is a killer! 😮😮
Fuck yeah !
The rhythm section is the best part of this song. Amazing to hear it this way.
Man I didn’t realize how much funk John Paul jones put into this. Underrated musician and never seems to get the credit bonzo and page have received.
There are reasons for that considering the two Rock Gods that played up front. Yhe people who know, know the Zeppelin sound was because of Jonesy, especially
Speed up the track and for the love of God, turn down Jimmy's power chords a little and turn up the bass and vocals... plus use sequencers and arpeggiators... and you have early Duran Duran. John Taylor in particular seems to have sprung fully formed and clad in armor (armed with an Aria) from JPJ's head.
A lot of great bands have a 'quiet one' who secretly holds everything together like glue, either musically or personally, when everyone else's virtuosity or ego threatens to blow it apart. They're usually, though not always, the bass player. See also: John Deacon, John Entwistle (why are they always called John?), Charlie Watts (oh okay, they're not), Ringo Starr ...
@@Postinaway It's called Funk. Bernie Edwards from the band Chic did everything for Duran and Power Station. Chic made the first ultimate funky bass line tune, "Good Times". And Led Zep stole a lot of songs from Black Blues artists from back in the day for witch they had to pay royalties. World's greatest cover band.
@@hellboundrubber4448 My first 45 rpm record purchase in my fairly lengthy life was "Le Freak" by Chic -- you don't have to tell me about funk. ;) Chic's Nile and Bernard were great rhythm artists and great producers; however, they were not primarily instrumental melodists. They seemed to be more about enhancing the sonic texture of a song while strictly stepping back into an accompaniment role rather than weaving countermelodies into their arrangements of a piece. Other American pop and R & B artists of the same day, with the Quincy Jones-Michael Jackson-Louis Johnson triumvirate springing quickly to mind, were more memorably melodic in their writing, as were British artists like Led Zep and on back to the Beatles under George Martin.
Re: Power Station, it was Andy Taylor's venture in lead guitar after many years as a superb rhythm guitarist with Duran Duran (occasional brief bridge solos notwithstanding); ironically, with John Taylor it was the opposite, as working with Bernard as his mentor solidified his funk/slap technique but drove him off into rhythmland to the extent that it fed the canard (which some were dedicated to believing even in recent years) that ghost writers and arrangers had really written Duran Duran's songs in the band's heyday, rather than, as all we Gen X females knew, being the work of shockingly talented but fairly clueless young men who also happened to be very good looking! ;) John Taylor has always said Bernard inspired his playing, but while I think BE's playing and his classic bass grooves were astonishing, I hear nothing of them in JT's early playing. Moreover, Bernard did John no favors in allowing that "making of Power Station" video scene where is is clear that Edwards improvised and recorded the bass break in "Bang a Gong" which was used on the track while John sat there looking like Bernard's first year bass student.
It is clear, there is a very stark line of demarcation between the Taylors' PS songs (Some Like It Hot, Communication, Still In Your Heart, and the Harvest for the World cover) and the Robert Palmer- Bernard Edwards tunes. John T has always said he was inspired by Chic's "Good Times", and while I can hear some Bernard elements that might have carried over -- the bouncy repeated notes, the playing of deep color tones in the bass rather than always the root notes of a chord -- I hear much more of Jones's and Johnson's melodic drive and ghost notes in JT's best work, which he had nearly abandoned by the time he left DD in the 90s.
There was no one better than these two. Period.
Definitely funk based hard rock!! The BEST!
Not too often you hear funk rock merging into progress rock.
Well done Zeppelins! 👌😏
Man would I love to get my hands on the rest of these isolated tracks. I always believed this song has so much power but the way it was recorded sounds like a blanket over it. Have almost every remastered version but they lack the explosiveness and true dynamics. Started playing with these tracks and results are awesome. Now I need to find the rest of the pieces of the puzzle..
If this doesn’t make you move then idk what to tell you. This rhythm section is unmatched. They’re so locked in
Relentless. I love the sound of his drumming. All of it. His ridden. Hi saying back in the groove. Just the greatest
I always loved the drums on this song, but that bass is just crazy good. Thanks for posting. I will never listen to it the same way ever again
No one will ever rinse to there level . Everything that's worth a shit was written and performed by the best ZEPPELIN
Man JPJ had such funky bass lines
Absolutely!!! Thank God for JPJ and Zeppelin 😎
@Olly O Like custard and...pie.
Greatest ever!
JPJ was heavily influenced by James Jamerson
@@jrshield7793You can really here it on this song!
JPJ showing his Motown/R&B/soul influence to great effect. I’ve loved this underrated bass line since this was released.
So friggin' awesome!!!!!
DAMN RIGHT!! JPJ IS A MONSTER!!
They put some great grooves together these two. Brilliant.
It's weird listening to these old stems and noticing how they didn't fuss too much and occasionally left the odd slip-up in.
These days everything is so sterile...pitch corrected....beat aligned....
Yes because it’s fake music, fake news and fake women.
Music today stinks
I agree wholeheartedly
today they craft lifeless bland soulless pasteurized processed music substitute
Led Zeppelin was the very best and furthest evolution of feeling based music. They will always reign supreme in that regard, nobody has even come close. John Bonham and the chemistry between them was nothing short of magical.
I just had this conversation last night in the same terms. So true.
Sounds like it belongs in a cop drama montage where they are chasing down the bad guys.
I like it when JPJ said he could tell it was Bonham playing drums within the first bar of the song...JPJ is the best !
This is better than the actual song.
Great stuff. I believe it was this song that was going to become an extended live piece much the same way Dazed and Confused was during the early 70s.
Page felt he was being targeted in Robert's lyrics, so I'm not sure he would have given it pride of place in a live setting...
Yes. This was the worst period for the band. Where is your bow. Part says it all. Jonesy was the only one who kept his feet on the ground
But that’s the part played by page and plant
These two are Bad Ass Incorporated!!!!
JPJ and Bonzo always locked in and funky. ✌️
Amazing! Sounds nothing like the song I have listened to thousands of times over the last 40 some years- I probably would have had a very hard time guessing!
This bass is epic
Yes, this should have been included as a bonus track on the reissue - the rhythm section is quite buried in Page's mix of the song and you don't get to hear much of this with any clarity at all! Beautiful track, I would almost say it's better than the finished song.
I listened to this a few times when it came out, and didn't particularly care for it. Then one night I heard after getting really high, and I could hear every bass note perfectly. I sat there with my mouth hanging open. This song is proof that JPJ is the best bass player in rock.
Pretty much my favorite Zeppelin tune
""Take of the Fruit, but Guard the Seed.." Brilliant lyrics
Nice One Sunshine...Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...
Perfect!!! ❤
Bonzo yes
Thank you so much for this. Bonzo and JPJ are the best.
A dynamic duo indeed! Call 'em: "Beatman and Throbbin'."
No.
Amazing
Great recording. This record is heavy rock for adults.
This shows how fantastic JPJ playing is.
They're modern-day Beethovens. And yes, there's a reason why I picked him specifically!
Thanks for these vidz, they're all awesome! looking forward to No Quarter and Achilles hopefully. 👍
their most underrated track.
Wow
A top 5 Zep tune for me for sure. Never get tired of. 6:15. Many tried that lick and failed? No. Many tried and died!
Eterno L.Z.
Just bought you a coffee, Bro. Thanks again. If you could try Song Remains the Same, Dazed, Whole Lotta Love from the live TSRTS that would be awesome!! :)
Thanks a lot man. Will have a go with those!
@@ludwigson11 : Thank you. As a musician, it really helps to hear these epic performances in isolation. I actually do use MVSEP, but do mot get the same results you do. So thanks again.
La prochaine fête à la maison c’est
´ carouselambra ´ , ´ achille last..’
´many more time ´ , ´ song remains the same ´ , ´ celebration day ´ en versions bass / drums
qui passeront la soirée .
Con mi inicios de las raises del rock,,todo genial
Approved!
funky groove
You can still sample this track and it would be a hit record.
They were the tightest band ever!
You speak absolute truth
Yes,
...but loose !
From one of the tapes Jason Bonham found in his dad's collection? Sounds AI extracted though. I love hearing it!
It's like the best Motown bass run, but it's a prog rock classic.
I live for the day someone'll post accurate tabs for this bass line.
Bonzo was so good
SWINGIN’!! 🙏🏽
Bonzoooo
JPJ's genius arrangment on a complicated song to arrange i bet
That gigantic bassline is one of the reasons they'd never try Carouselambra live. JPJ would certainly play the Yamaha GX-1, so the song would miss the bass, at least on the first of the three parts.
JPJ. damn.
Bass DEFINITELY needs to pumped up. Carousesalambra is at top 5 Zep song for me and I've listened to it a thousand times and the bass is just killer. Still...even on this mix you can barely hear it.
🌹😇🌹
Any isolated Them Crooked Vultures possible? Warsaw would be a great song to do.
This tune is a JPJ bass solo disguised as a tune. Gotta say the keys he did over this are damn trippy. He could have been a techno/house music wizard..
Unrecognizable
Can barely hear this in song :/
Great video anyhow
It's one of the worst mixing jobs on the album. You can't hear the lyrics either, as they were a bit too close to the bone for a certain someone.
@@MCBhangramuffin Accurate.
Would be interesting to know for sure what tracks were laid down first. Sure seems to me that these rhythm tracks were first mainly cuz they are so tight in the groove together.
WOW! Whoever mixed this down, used a "TON-'O-GATES-'O-RAMAS" on Bonham's ORIGINALLY VERY OPEN drum sound...!!! Good for a disco dance floor, I assume. (???)
BolsaChicaRadio
Maybe not one of their best songs, but IMO it’s at least top 10 in terms of bass lines.
It’s like the Lemon Song on speed
removed every cymbal hard to listen too without,it is the best part.
Its a pity that the mix from the finished recording doesnt sound as fat as this outtake. Have always thought that the album lacks the bottom end.
Agreed, it need a remix from Steven Wilson
Yes, the finished song itself kinda lets this epic rhythm track down. If the song had been released on a maxi single, this absolutely should have been the B-side!
Don't forget those guys that backed up Jonesy and Bonzo either, they even tried to do some things on their own I believe, Plant and Page? Both having last names that start with the letter P, sounds a little fishy to me, but all and all I surmise The Four Lads did the kingdom proud.
JPJ !
Makes me wonder how the finished product may have sounded without the drenchy keys. Me thinks better perhaps.
Hey, what’s Nick Offerman doing with JPJ and Jimmy Page?
My 501 views))))
jpg and bonzo!!! this is the secret...
Sounds like the Billie Jean drum groove.
Definitely influenced by funk.
Not a factor here of course, since this is drums and bass - but Robert was none too happy to realize that his lyrics were unintelligible in the released song. They are really buried in the mix, and he was proud of the lyrics. Can hardly understand a thing he sings.
There another cut of that song remastered and you can hear Plants lyric under the title of “ The Epic Song”
Cause the lyrics trashed Page....same with in the evening
Like that is not well known and tired list "best of the best" ledzep songs of i-iv
Thanks a lot, dear!
I’ve never liked the drum sound on this album. The playing is superb but the sound is murky. The drum sound on Presence is way better.
A música mais chata do Led.
Too bad this song and the entire album sucked terribly. They lost a drugged-out Page and that was that.
6:23 Hammer of the God's.
