S2E8: Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti 1975
Description
Listen to Old School Vinyl covering Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffite!
Physical Graffiti isn’t just another album — its the birthing of a sound mountain that stands above all others Rock epics. Released in 1975, Led Zeppelin’s double album captures the band at their creative peak, unshackled and showing off. 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, rock, and progressive textures into something something new, something bigger...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.
Put the headphones on for this one boys and girl, and trust me this album should be played on high volume!
Come, join us as we revisit one of the greatest rock albums ever pressed into vinyl.
