Led Zeppelin - "Fool In The Rain" (1979) ...
I always loved John Bonham's 'Shuffle/Samba/Shuffle' drums on this tune...kinda like a bombastic version of the Purdie thang... ... [Edited 6/28/08 1:22am] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Love this song, too. But my favorite LZ tune of all time is "When the Levee Breaks." "She made me glad to be a man" | |

When I read that, the first tunes that came to mind were Home At Last & Babylon Sisters. Then I found this quote from Jeff Porcaro that ties all 3 of them together... "I did a clinic a couple or years ago at the Dick Grove School," Porcaro says in his groggy baritone. "The students brought CD of my stuff to play and ask me questions about. I knew what would happen; they'd ask about the 'Rosanna' beat, which is probably the most unoriginal thing I've ever done, yet I got all this credit for it. Stupid. So I brought along the CDs of the records I stole the beat from--"Fool In The Rain" from Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door, and Bernard Purdie's 'Home At Last' and 'Babylon Sisters' with Steely. Without saying anything, I put on the CD and played 'Babylon Sisters.' Half the class knew the song, but none of them knew who the drummer was. This is a class of 18 to 33-year-olds. Then I played 'Home At Last,' which I copped all the shit for 'Rosanna' from. Once again, no one knew the drummer. I said, 'Guys, it's Bernard Purdie. Who in this room has heard of Steve Gadd?' All the hands went up. 'Aja?' All hands up. 'I'm sure you all know Steve won Performance Of The Year for that in Modern Drummer. Well, you're all fucked up! I just played you 'Home At Last' with Bernard Purdie, and that's on the same record. What do you do, listen to 'Aja' and then take the needle off? As musicians you should know everything I just played for you. Some of the best drum shit ever is on that record. Each track has subtleties." ...http://www.granatino.com/...ce/md1.htm School 'em Jeff. Tax that a$$! tA  Tribal Disorder

It's one of those songs i rarely play but when i do hear it it reminds me of how diverse Zeppelin were. The part where it speeds up and the way they slide back into the original groove is just genius. People are entitled to their opinions on Zep's music but they were just amazing musicians.

Love it of course.  I love the guitars, the drums, everything. It's a song I like to listen to with headphones on turned WAY up so I can hear all the nuances.
I need to go listen to "Babylon Sisters" now actually. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I've always been a fan of the sound more than the actual song. My Legacy
