.....is a great Led Zeppelin album. even tho its mostly a John Paul Jones written album, keyboards everywhere, Page's contribution is generally spot-on, even though he was up to his eyes in heroin at the time. And the album has two of my all-time favourite Led Zep tracks, Fool In The Rain and I'm Gonna Crawl. A much under-appreciated album - it just demonstrates how Led Zep could turn their hands to any style of music and still be monstrous..

Any other fans of this album out there? Or is it just me thats loving it at the moment?

    Fool in the rain is one of my favorite songs. My favorite Zep song. I now Mike mentioned they might release the Chicago show with Plant. I doubt they will now, but one could hope.

    Good album, but the other albums are just better and that's the problem of this album. Led Zeppelin made such great albums, that this album looks weak, but this album isn't weak. Best songs are In the Evening, All My Love and Carouselambra.

    I always liked "Presence" more. BUt I dont think this is a bad album by any means. Just not up to par with the first 6 or 7

    Fool In The Rain is my very favorite song of their's - i remember reading somewhere that there was a lot of influence in making this album after they traveled to Brazil.. any truth to that?

    I havent heard that one, but what apparently happened is that Jonesy and Plant turned up a week or so before Page and Bonham showed for the sessions, so by then they had most of the album written by themselves. John Paul Jones is an amazing musician - he showed that on ITTOD and even more so on his 1999 album Zooma - there could've been some incredible stuff written if Plant, Page and Jones had worked together in the '90's. Shame it wasnt meant to be.

    I reckon the thing that puts Zep fans off ITTOD is the fact that its so different to anything they did before - but then again, thats the true beauty of Led Zep, they never re-hashed their previous work. In the words of Jimmy Page, the band is a "multi-faceted diamond". :D

    That's a wicked album. If I had to choose a favorite, it would be LZ II, simply because Ramble On is on it. Trying to actually make that decision though is so difficult 'cause you can't really find a good reason to put one album above another.

    On a similar note, any there are board members who have seen Led Zeppelin live???

    If dreams count, I've seen them many times. I won't be surprised if nobody here has seen them. I've actually never met a person who has seen them live.

    I can't wait until I do though. Oh, the questions I have......

    I have been trying to collect all the different covers. I have 3 of them....
    I did not realize there were different vinyl covers up until about 3 years ago...

    Wasn't there a total of five? One for the point of view for everyone in the bar?

    I think there are 6, but yeah, for everyone's point of view. I believe there are 6 people total in the bar. I am not home, so I have not had a chance to check....

    The riff in in the evening is really amazing. One of my favourite opening songs on any album.

    True, the album version is great but I really love the live version from Knebworth '79, from the DVD. Killer song. Personal favourite from ITTOD at the moment would have to be I'm Gonna Crawl - one of Zep's best ever blues

    I checked. There are 7 people in the bar, but I do not think that the main guy at the bar has a cover with his point of view. I may be wrong there, but I think it is the other 6 people. You have the bartender, the lady standing at the jukebox, the man at the piano, the woman sitting at one end of the bar, another woman standing at the opposite end of the bar, and the guy at the door looking in his wallet.
    The covers are 'lettered' on the spine. I have 'D' 'E' and 'F'. So my guess is there are 6. Between the fronts and backs I have all 6 points of view. The back has the opposite view of the front.
