1975 Classic Was SO MUSICALLY COMPLEX...Legendary Band NEVER Played it LIVE! | Professor of Rock

Описание: Robert Plant, rock's greatest frontman, was given an ultimatum by his girlfriend. Choose me or your music. Sure, Robert was deeply in love and was dirt poor with questionable prospects... at least at that moment. He was scraping by searching for his big break. And as heart-wrenching as the decision was, he chose music. But the love standoff was one he’d never forget. 10 years later, after a gaggle of legendary albums and songs under his belt... and sitting on top of the world, he seized upon that moment and wrote Ten Years Gone. Reflecting on his torment and heartbreak, and what might have been... it became one of the greatest album cuts in history. And the song influenced a genre that would be Rock’s last stand. Up next, the compelling story of Ten Years Gone, a song with one of the most epic guitar solos of the 70s. In fact, the 14 guitars on the track made the song impossible to play live, even though it came from one of the biggest records ever.

What happens when you're deeply in love with a person and with your passion, music, and then that person you're in love with asks you to choose? To choose between your passion and your person? Well, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin was given that conundrum before he made it. So… For a couple of years now, we have been working our way through Led Zeppelin’s masterful catalog, telling the stories behind their biggest songs, as well as some of their lesser-known gems.

Today we dip back into the band’s landmark double album, Physical Graffiti… while featuring one of Robert Plant’s more nostalgic and personal offerings… Ten Years Gone. So it goes without saying, but Physical Graffiti is a stone-cold Led Zeppelin classic. Boasting 15 tracks and more than 80 minutes of run time, this four-sided vinyl is an absolute monster. Gathering at Headley Grange in Hampshire in early 1974, the Zeppelin quartet of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham were on fire while writing this one… The creative energy was flowing. The guys were loose, working long hours each day to lay down eight new tracks. They were: Custard Pie, In My Time of Dying, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, In the Light, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song, and Sick Again.

Said Robert Plant, “Some artists like to sit down and plan an album. We just can’t do that. Our music is more of an impromptu thing. It falls out of your head and onto the floor, and you pick it up, and it bounces. That’s how it works.” The only problem was that these 8 tracks were too long for a vinyl LP. I think together, they had a run time of about 53 minutes… And Jimmy Page wanted to keep them all. So an idea for a double LP began to formulate.

Zeppelin already had more than enough quality material lying around, tracks that had just been passed on for previous albums. Although there were some notable absences like the aforementioned Hey, Hey What Can I Do, the 7 that were chosen were a strong showing… They were: The Rover, Houses of the Holy, Bron-Yr-Aur, Down by the Seaside, Night Flight, Boogie with Stu, and Black Country Woman. These older songs were intermixed with newer ones to create a seamless and sonically satisfying listening experience. Page was very
