Incredible band live:

Bonham is the Gold standard for drums, no doubt.

Great vocals too, especially the end....

"Carouselambra"

Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,
Await their place within the ring of calm;
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
Await the call they know may never come.
In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course, upset the run;
And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty overrun.

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
Unending dances shadowed on the day.
Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,
Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
But no one seemed to question in anyway.

How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak;
And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep.
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.
Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.
I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.
I couldn't stand it another day, another day,
Another day, another day.

Touched by the timely coming,
Roused from the keeper's sleep,
Release the grip, throw down the key.

Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the peace.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

They had to stay!

Held now within the knowing,
Rest now within the beat.
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

Thanks for posting! That's the first time I really understood
what the lyrics were.

Well he's got a lot of drums there. And some quite big ones. But I find
that particular performance rather unremarkable, if not even a bit 'off'.
At least he's not thrashing around frantically.

Me too! Could never understand why they buried the lyrics on that track. Of course, I could say the same for the vocals on the vast majority of non-country releases, be they from the '70s or from last month.

Awesome song all around like a carousel.

Yeah I remember that thing.

Page was mighty handy with a cello bow as well and I can remember always
having to buy somebody's two cigarettes so I could use the filters for crude
hearing protection.

They could play really loud.

======================

When it was released I didn't have any problems hearing the vocals, but 30
years later, hmmm.

My least favorite track on the album - and my least favorite Zep album. I
liked Presence a *lot* more.

No, I memorized the lyrics when I was a kid. It goes:

See them on the seaside my guitar between my knees,
Oh faking scenes of misery embalmed

Just then they turned a sentence of relief
The waitresses won't know they didn't come



The rest can be gleaned from the track.

Well I guess you have a right to your opinion but like I say "opinions are
like ears and most everyone has two".

I like this song because it was very different from what they had done
before and the drums, keys, etc. completely rock along with all of the
change ups, key changes, syncopation... you name it.

You've got to be a communist or a fascist to not like it when Bonzo does
those solo drum snare hits di di di di,...di di, di, di. I can do a mean
air drum to that while whisking away on the freeway saying look mum no
hands.

Anyway it was their last album of entirely new and different material.

You wouldn't be a beiber fan would you?

Presence was not my very fave, but it did have Achille's Last Stand, and
that goes a long way.

You mean where he's doubling the keyboard rythm ? :-)

Actually my first concert was Zep, Tampa '77. Despite also being the first
riot I was in, the 20 minutes we got before being rained out was epic.

Good ears. There is some keys going on when he does that snare riff at
around the 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 minute mark.

Gizmotron comes in at around 4:24 and is one of the best examples of that
thing/gizmo.

Sorry about the beiber reference and it was man of you not to bite. <g>

I have a buddy who was *having a riot* at Woodstock and shot at at Kent
State. Ten soldiers and Nixon coming.....four dead in Ohio.

What are the odds of that? 1 in a 1,000000 me think.
