1969 is one of the best years in rock history in my opinion. LZ 1 and 2, Beck-ola, Cream's Goodbye album, Blind Faith, Volunteers, Let it Bleed, CSN, Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, Kicking out the Jams, Abbey Road, Tommy etc........ To many amazing albums to list in one comment. Its very cool to see the younger generation getting into vinyl and classic music. I started buying music in the 90s when I was in my teens and my collection gravitated around music from the 60s and 70s, particularly anything blues based with Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck (my Favorite guitarist ever!!), Jimmy Page (my second favorite guitarist ever), Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore. This music got me into playing guitar and I'm proud to say that I was the only guy in my high school under the headphones trying to decipher Yardbirds and Zeppelin riffs. You have excellent taste in music! Keep up the good work!!!!👍

This just happened to me within the last week. I bought my copy of Led Zeppelin 2 from a local thrift store that has been closed for over ten years, probably in 2007-2008. This has been my favorite album that i own, definitely the most significant record that I bought during my childhood. Over the weekend, I found out about disogs and went online to see which pressing I had (I have the same 1977 repressing) When I took a closer look at the cover to find any serial numbers I missed, I noticed a full name faintly written in pencil on the front cover by the edge that I had never noticed before "Tina". Tina was my great aunt who passed away somewhere between 1996-2000. Somehow, someway, I bought HER copy of this record years after she died and had no clue until this weekend. It ended up at the thrift store at the perfect time for me to find it, buy it, and for it to become my favorite album for years and years. This made me feel like my love of music was supposed to be this great and im not doing anything wrong. My mind is still blown.

I also feel like “Thank You” was a very important moment on the album that humanizes Plant through its humble messaging. It’s also one of those songs like I feel like a lot of people might skip through, but if you take the time, you get rewarded with a true inner experience from a deceptively simple concept. I feel this way about Tangerine from Zep III as well.

I bought Zeppelin ll when I was 13 years old… 1971. You never saw photos of the band in music magazines/etc… So when I saw the cover, with the airmen on it, I thought the band had 10 members! 😂. I thought perhaps the woman on the cover was playing the keyboard bits, as they didn’t have a female vocalist… lol! This being said, next album I bought was Zep l, and I finally figured out there were only 4 members in the band! I have to say, I saw Zeppelin live “once”. One of the 1975 L.A. Forum shows. My god they were amazing live! Jimmy’s bow-solo and theremin on Whole Lotta Love… Kashmir live… unforgettable show by one of my personal musical Holy Trinity! Beatles YES Zeppelin. Leave me on a desert island with all 3 bands’ catalogues, I’m a happy castaway! Love your videos Abigail! I think you must be reincarnated from the 1960s. 🤗

Two things I love about "The Lemon Song" - Firstly, it sounds like every garage band I ever played in. Not the skill of the musicians, but just that dirty, groovy sound. You can hear the volume attenuate slightly as it pegs the board. At least that's what I think is happening. Secondly, John Paul Jones' bass in the breakdown is just so cool, so loose and comfortable. I've heard other bassists play it and they just kinda ape it, they don't have that effortless. free groove that Jonesy has.

I was also an OBSESSED Zeppelin fan (although 20+ years earlier than you). I bought this record on the recommendation of a friend in high school and within 6 weeks of hearing the opening riff to Whole Lotta Love I had all of the records (including CODA) on various media. I then read Hammer of the Gods 10x and nailed all the album covers to my bedroom wall in some sort of zeppelin mosaic? I dunno. I was a kid. It seemed awesome at the time (they were all super cheap represses - Don’t worry). I subscribed to fanzines….the whole shebang. I’ve now owned all of these albums many times over. And Achilles Last Stand is the most underrated (along with In The Evening) song in their catalog. My fav - Almost impossible to choose but Since I’ve Been Loving You. Yeah, that one. Page’s solo still gives me chills. ❤😊🎵

The first Zeppelin album was such a revelation that my pals and I just couldn't wait for the next release. I was a sophomore in highschool and my buddies and I at lunch would run six blocks to the drugstore that sold the latest albums just to see if it was out yet. I think it was three weeks of doing this everyday when finally there it was. The folded ten dollar bill I carried in my blue jeans pocket just for that album, was flat as could be but was very well spent. I still have that album fifty plus years later. Led Zeppelin meant so very much to the youth when they emerged on the music scene.

I'm sorry I don't remember much about the concert to share with you except Jimmy's amp messed up a few times and the music was spotty but energetic. I saw them again in 1975 in Greensboro, NC. They were much better of course having matured musically as a group and had a much better sound system and light show. "No Quarter" was a highlight for me and "Moby Dick", I remember those well.

So glad you pointed out The Small Faces cover of “You Need Lovin” as an “inspiration” for Zep’s “Whole Lotta Love”. Everyone mentions them not crediting Willie Dixon, no one seems seems to notice how Plant is just straight-out copying Steve Marriott’s vocal in spots. I’ve read in a couple of places that the only reason Plant doesn’t share songwriter credit with Page on Led Zep I like he does on all the other albums is due to some kind of legal complications from some old contract he had signed back in his Band Of Joy days that he needed to be extricated from, and to whatever extent there are any original lyrics on that album, they’re largely Plant’s. The new lyrics to their unacknowledged cover of Jake Holmes’ “Dazed And Confused” are clearly Plant improvisations to my ear.

An old geezer like me who was 17 years old when, in the Fall of 1969, he first heard "Led Zeppelin II", the first LZ lp he'd heard and still his favorite, can learn far more about it than he ever knew before from an extremely savvy, brainy, funny and lovely young woman who's young enough to be his granddaughter. Vinyl Monday is a wonderment.

Willie Dixon wrote Killin' Floor too. He was the house writer and bassist for Chess.

This morning was gray and bland doing laundry and stuff, then I remembered it was Abby Zep 2 Day, and everything brightened up. 😊❤ Great review, I didn't realize the production was that chaotic. Really interesting. Props on your outfit too 🥰.

I've listened to LZII literally well over 1000 times and know the intricacies of the mix and recording process inside and out but had never heard the story of the first "too hot" mastering by Bob Ludwig. Will seek that out. LZII literally taught me tp play guitar and is my fave. WIAWSNB is probably my favorite song along with How Many More Times and The Rain Song. WIAWSNB is perhaps their most original song -- there is no other artist, band or genre like it before or since. Plant's vocal is perfect for the song.

I was young n dumb when I first heard a few songs from LZII. It was 1981 and I was 13. Something dawned on me though - as I’d sit patiently and wait for the Hammond B-3 fade back IN at the end of Thank You…or the mellow bass sound in What Is And….or it’s explosiveness on Bring It. I could immediately detect even at this young age, that: I was hearing something that was untouchable - of which it had zero competition. A true jewel in the crown. I was right too. John Paul Jones was so talented even back then - that he hadn’t ever the need to join a band such as Jimmy’s new venture. When they formed it’s as if they’d all been waiting for each other. It was lightning in a bottle. I refer to the second record today as British Motown. That’s right…John Paul is THAT GOOD. Excellent synopsis, by the way. I enjoyed your dialogue and your obvious research! (Also, I’ve never seen that pic of Pamela with Clive before!)

Great 1969 choices! Zeppelin II definitely opened the door to the 70s. I’d add Let it Bleed as a benchmark - it closed the door to the 60s love vibe.

Dear Abby (Sorry, couldn't resist), your knowledge is as impressively extensive as your presentation of it is fun! I don't agree with all you said about The Mighty Zeppelin here, but why should that matter? It certainly won't keep me from subscribing to your channel, as I see you have many more cool albums that you discuss, in addition to my favorite group (and PhysGraf is MY fave of theirs). So I smashed "SUB," to be sure I won't lose track of your tracks! Thanks!

"Whole Lotta Love" probably the best rock number ever.

I love your colorful reviews! They are never boring and always informative! Nineteen Sixty-Nine was a great year for music and there is so much great albums to choose from. My favorite album is Abbey Road. But then again maybe it's Let It Bleed. Then again, the two Zeppelin albums. Maybe a tie!

I'm pretty sure 1967 was the top year, but 1968 and 1969 are up there too! And 1966 is no slouch either! Those four years were unbelievable musically!

I stumbled upon this video and - much to my surprise - made it through to the end. Brings back some pleasant memories of my youth in the mid-80's. It's funny, though, that I've only ever referred to the second song on side 2 as "Livin' Lovin' Maid". I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it "She's Just a Woman" in my entire life.

I heard III, II and IV in that order. III has that first heard first loved status with me. IV was a complete blast when I finally heard it. But II begins with one of the biggest riffs in history and drags you right into it. And right up to the end of Living Loving Maid (never till now heard it referred to by the subtitle) it feels exactly like a great rock album should. Ramble On has some lovely textures and a big chorus but I don't care about it much, either. I would play Moby Dick up to the drum solo and skip the rest for Bring it on Home which I liked for its weird opening vocal (didn't quite understand the black voice thing at that age) and the sudden change to the rockout. Because the second half of side two was often skipped I still consider it a patchy record. Then again, that thunder in the mountains moment when JPJ comes in with that giant bass in Whole Lotta Love .... Oh, my copy was a new late '70s reprint and it didn't have the cough at the start of WLL. First I heard that was on the Remasters compilation in the '90s. Another great celebration of a classic. For which, many thanks.
