The killing floor refers to the Chicago slaughter houses where a lot of the black migrants from the south ended up working under very harsh conditions for meagre pay. Interestingly on the first pressings of the album the original writer wasn't credited. I remember a gong on stage when I saw them in 1970!

The part of the song that sped up is what was known as a "rave-up" and was meant to get the audience up and moving. It has its roots in jazz and was a technique The Yardbirds used to use often in concert.

I’ve heard the LZ classics before and I enjoyed some of them but ‘The lemon song’ must be my favourite ‘unheard’ song (so far) Thank you for introducing it to me. It’s been a great journey so far, really enjoying the music and chat. Now go make that lemon meringue pie Dev and instagram us the final masterpiece.

Speaking of the drum sound, Page had learned about Mic placement from his years as a studio musician. When the Levee Breaks is a much more pronounced drum sound, it really opens up.

Audio technology took at leap during the 1960s. Musicians experimented with moving between stereo tracks, going back and forth, isolating vocals or instruments, etc. Sad that w/the technology being so much more advanced now, that musicians don't bother w/this type of experimentation.

From the beginning blues musicians lifted bits and parts of other blues musicians lyrics/riffs and incorporated them into their own songs without giving credit as they toured the Chitlin Circuit. A really good rabbit hole for you is Bawdy/Dirty Blues with songs like "Let Me Roll Your Lemon", "Banana in Your Fruit Basket", "Pin in Your Cushion", "Your Biscuits Are Big Enough for Me", "Please Warm My Wiener" and "My Pencil Won't Write No More" from one of my favorite bluesman Bo Carter, of course there are many more.

Copyright laws and public perception of the use of music and lyrics have changed rather dramatically from the time of the earlier versions of these blues songs, and even from the time of the original release of the LZ album. I get so annoyed when some people accuse Led Zeppelin of "stealing" this music! At worst, they got outdated or incomplete legal advice on American copyright law, but more likely, with such a long history of blues artists reworking old music into new, no one took the time to investigate the history of these songs in order to credit the original artists. Over the years since these first albums were released, the members of LZ have made their appreciation of the old blues artists imminently clear! If the band had not been so amazingly successful, I suspect the couple of lawsuits they endured would never have happened.

"The 'John Paul Jones' Song". Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones had already been working "studio" for like ten years and had their chops before young Robert Plant and John Bonham, both around 20, joined. This was a Supergroup in a matter of a short two years, it was instant chemistry!

Both Page and Plant tell a similar story of their first jam. Apparently it was the old classic Train Keeps a Rolling, at the end of the song, they kinda just looked at each and thought "What the hell have we got here"

Love the channel. I like that you play the alternate versions, you provide song info, you have commentary options with the videos, and some more things I’m probably forgetting. Your approach is similar to the Soul Train Bro reaction channel. I like this version as much as Howling Wolf’s version. I find the Hendrix version to be too fast.
