Me too...If I never hear Stairway again it'll be too soon.

Zeppelin is nothing but bloody legend.

Kashmir is great, I also fell hard for When The Levee Breaks. Probably a top 5 for me.

I remember when Physical Graffiti was released...Went home and jammed on that for a long time.

Want a memory? Sherwood Receiver, JBL Speakers and a Pioneer Turntable.

My poor parents lol!

r/whatisthisthing - What is this picture called?

What elevates Zeppelin so much for me is that their softer stuff is as good (better?) than their hard rock...

Going to California and Rain Song are timeless beauties...

George Harrison was talking with John Bonham and said, “The problem with you guys is that you never write ballads.” Jimmy Page overheard this and thought, I’ll show him a ballad. This song was the result.

Opening drums in When The Levee Breaks was recorded in an abandoned elevator shaft.

Love it...

Bonham was a beast, we lost him too soon.

Best friend had 4th row tickets in Chicago before Bonzo passed.

Lucky man...We are fortunate to have had this music in our lives through the decades.

The cool thing is that there is still so much musical genius out there today. I still get blown away by Billie Eilish & Finneas to name just two.

Oh my wife cried at the end of Barbie listening to Billie lol!

And no, I can still say I never saw that movie - although I love Margot Robbie is a mini skirt.

If you haven't seen Becoming Led Zeppelin, you need to.
