Thinking back about my Zep days, I dont remember them playing a bad gig, unlike my faves of the time, the Oooo. I couldn't say that The Song was a great live album nor How The West Was Won come to that.
So, lighters out, if ou ever feel like you can't go on

nanook rubs it....
anyone else lied through their teeth to their parents, hitched from London without any dosh, climbed the wire without a ticket and spent the weekend here, relying on the generosity of strangers for donuts to eat and a lorry to kip in...and flogged popping space rocks in the dark to gullible adults?

Pigman's pigman's ha ha charade you are..
Sounds like you were lucky enough to not catch Page off his face on stage because when he was boy did it show (not in a good way)

Led Zeppelin - Knebworth 1979 (crowd film):
existentialist
Tired and unemotional
I've still got raincheck tickets to see him, after the gig was cancelled thanks to Covid-19...Percy was on with Jools Holland last night. An interesting and thoughtful insight to his musical taste and well worth a watch.
When asked the secret to the Zeppelin sucess, without thinking or pause he simply said the three guys behind me
Top man.

Ye gods, it is 50 this year.
No, not the debut album, nor Zep 2 or even 3 but Zep 4 is 50 this year..

It's interesting how Led Zeppelin is musical marmite. Looking at the reviews on rateyourmusic for Led Zep 4, it's mainly total adulation but with a small but significant number of people who absolutely hate it. This seems to be the (split) opinion on urban as well. I'm definitely not in either camp. To be honest the fourth album isn't interesting enough to be marmite.
I find it a bit disappointing after their previous album that they're going for this thumping stadium rock sound, but I still have time for Black Dog and Rock 'n' Roll and I maintain that Going to California is a good song even if I don't care for the Bonham with a big bass drum type of thing that closes the album.
I sort of wish Page kept channelling Bert Jansch but then he was only ever a Jansch knock off and we can listen to the real thing so perhaps this more basic rock out was the way to go. Plant's singing is overblown and over the top, but I like that in a high camp sort of way.
Communication Breakdown was a game changer and Friends was an overlooked but genuinely bizarre song while Since I've Been Loving You through all the bombast has a really tasty chord progression that transforms the Chicago blues sound. I can go back to songs like that and be transfixed, but by 1971 I don't think there is much about Led Zep to thoroughly excite. It's bigger, louder and more polished than their previous, if a bit more tame. Spiritually I'm against it, rock stars on pedestals blasting down to the masses - music should communicate to you on your own level. But for what it is it's very good and I can still enjoy it even if I'm bored of it by the end of the album.
So that's enough of that. I don't think I've ever had a Led Zeppelin evening. I've had many Black Sabbath evenings. Sabbath leave me hungry for more. Zeppelin leave me feeling like I've eaten too much cake.

Very surprised you don't proffer an opinion on stairway to heaven
It's the epic off an iconic album so everybody knows it. But honestly, it's not a particularly interesting song. I don't think it's the song that the fans are really into. It's nice enough if you haven't heard it so many times you are sick of it. It was more odd that I didn't mention the Battle of Evermore really.
