S2E8: Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti 1975
Description
Listen in as Old School Vinyl covers Led Zeppelin;s 1975 Epic Double Album, Physical Graffiti!
Physical Graffiti isn’t just another clasic rock album — it’s a mountain of hard rock! Released in 1975, Led Zeppelin’s double album captures the band at their creative peak, unshackled by limits. By this point, Zeppelin had already conquered the world with blues-driven thunder, but Graffiti showed the full scope of their power — sprawling, daring, and unstoppable.
Across 15 tracks, we get everything: the slashing riffs of “Custard Pie,” the Middle Eastern mysticism of “Kashmir,” the playful funk of “Trampled Under Foot,” and the haunting beauty of “Ten Years Gone.” It’s Zeppelin pushing into every corner of their imagination, weaving blues & folk, with a thundering rhythm section that produced something bigger than the sum of its parts.... a new genre called HARD ROCK!
In this episode of Old School Vinyl, we journey through the making of Physical Graffiti, the band’s state of mind in the mid-70s, and the impressions these songs left on us as fans and listeners. It’s a celebration of Zeppelin’s raw power, their audacity to stretch the boundaries of rock, and the timeless echoes that still rumble through music today.
So put the headphones on and crank up the volume, as some music need to be played very loud to be really heard!
WARNING: LISTENING TO LOUD HARD ROCK MUSIC MAY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR 12 YEARS OLD!
