Into the Outdoor, Phys-
MikeHOST
I've had houses with the holy on.
MikeHOST
I've had it on for-
RyanHOST
Physical Graffiti might be my favorite Zeppelin album right now.
RyanHOST
It's amazing.
MikeHOST
Mm.
Mac BrydonHOST
Gabriel's nipping down the street to a phone box with tons of 10p pieces to call California to talk to him.
Mac BrydonHOST
Of course, he's leaving the rest of the band at Hedley Grange, which is Led Zeppelin had taken a little break from doing their double album Physical Graffiti and they leased it to them or they rented it from Zeppelin and so he's nipping down to the phone box and then finally You know, Gabriel's about to, he's going to leave the band.
Mac BrydonHOST
It's like, he's got so many things going on.
Mac BrydonHOST
And Friedkin's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Chris JerichoHOST
[laughs]
Brian PosehnGUEST
And my cousin, who was a year and a half older than me, uh, he got Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti and so, you know, the double vinyl.
Brian PosehnGUEST
And we didn't even open my, uh, Sean Cassidy because he was like-
Chris JerichoHOST
[laughs]
Brian PosehnGUEST
That's lame."
Chris JerichoHOST
[laughs]
Brian PosehnGUEST
"Let's not listen to that." So we went to my grandma's turntable on Christmas and listened to Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti, and then when I got home to Sonoma, I returned my Sean Cassidy record to the record store and got In Through the Outdoor on cassette.
Chris JerichoHOST
[laughs]
BJHOST
I have done episodes on these bands in the past.
BJHOST
I did an in-depth episode about physical graffiti for the 50th anniversary.
BJHOST
And I did a fun episode called Obscured by Sid.
BJHOST
It kind of focused on the time period of the album Obscured by Clouds, but also what was going on with Sid Barrett during that time period leading up to Dark Side of the Moon.
55 MINS LATER
BJHOST
But it's just a dumb rock song.
BJHOST
And Fearless is this very pretty, emotional song.
BJHOST
moody song in an open tuning with acoustic guitars it's just really nice all right number two on my list of my top 10 favorite led zeppelin songs finally we get something from physical graffiti here which is an album that i like a lot and that's a song called the rover so this is another one where this is just one of my favorites okay me I love the chorus of this song.
BJHOST
I love the riffs, great riffs and melodies.
Gerry CaseyHOST
I'm sure they will.
Gerry CaseyHOST
Well, unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye, but we're going to play out with the Zepp lads and we're going to play out this track, I think, come from Physical Graffiti.
Gerry CaseyHOST
This is the incredible, the earth shattering Kashmir.
Robert PlantSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh, let the sun be down upon my face.
Rich RubinGUEST
Yeah, I mean, back then Beatlemania was big on Broadway, which was kind of a tribute.
Rich RubinGUEST
Uh, there was LA Woman, a Doors band, Physical Graffiti, 2112, but that was...
Rich RubinGUEST
You heard them on the radio, but you never saw them.
Rich RubinGUEST
Like, what, what's a tribute band? I didn't know what it was.
Rolo GuitarHOST
In the hands of other musicians, Three could have been a disastrous experiment, but in Zeppelin's hands, it allowed them to broaden their signature style.
Rolo GuitarHOST
For another band, it would deserve a five-star rating in any critical review, but Zeppelin was still growing and would go on to scale greater heights on Zeppelin IV and Physical Graffiti.
Rolo GuitarHOST
Maybe I'd also withhold that last star because I feel sympathy for the fans who in 1970 hurled their vinyl LPs against the wall and vowed never to listen to Led Zeppelin again.
Rolo GuitarHOST
Fandom is sometimes a frustrating pastime, when our heroes fail to fulfil our deepest desires and strike out in new directions.
Brian HallgrenHOST
And at number nine, Double Live by Garth Brooks, released in 1998, certified 21 times platinum in November of 2006.
Brian HallgrenHOST
Number eight of the 29 albums that have sold 15 million or more is Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti that came out in 1975.
Brian HallgrenHOST
Time is marching on, folks.
Brian HallgrenHOST
It was certified 16 times platinum in January 2006, and here are a couple from Zeppelin.
9 MINS LATER
Brian HallgrenHOST
Good stuff.
Brian HallgrenHOST
All right.
Brian HallgrenHOST
And Physical Graffiti kept the public pleased with Zeppelin's ability to combine different textures to the music, as if they hadn't done that before.
Brian HallgrenHOST
And we played Down by the Seaside, a very good selling album from Zeppelin.
WillHOST
I'm giving this three stars.
WillHOST
It feels to me a little bit like a bunch of offcuts that have lain dormant from physical graffiti, which was released the year before.
WillHOST
So I think it's the least engaging of their albums and just lacks a bit of identity.
WillHOST
I also don't think Robert Plant is at his best.
9 MINS LATER
MattHOST
But my number two pick is Led Zeppelin One, which I've given four and a half stars.
WillHOST
Okay, nice.
WillHOST
So number two for me is Physical Graffiti, which is five stars.
WillHOST
This is a double album.
MattHOST
So I'm going to start by saying this is in on a technicality.
MattHOST
I'm including this record on the basis that A, it has as many tracks as physical graffiti.
MattHOST
It's as long as Exile on Main Street.
MattHOST
And unlike many of the albums which I'll feature today, it was actually conceptualized as a true double album.
12 MINS LATER
MattHOST
So that's probably why Bendy ended up doing 50 takes.
MattHOST
That's an art form in of itself, but yeah, a great pick.
MattHOST
My number six is also going back in time a little to 1975 this time, and it's Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin.
MattHOST
I talked about this on the last episode, so I don't have much to add.
