Haven't gone all the way through this thread in a long time, but have a feeling In Through the Out Door gets short shrift.  Maybe because it's the first Zep album I bought myself (I had a copy of Zep II that was my mom's),  coming right at that cusp where I turned from AM radio to FM radio, late 1978 into 1979, but I think it's a damn solid album.  yes, I even like Hot Dog.  But In the Evening, Carouselambra, really that whole 2nd side is fucking gold, All My Love and I'm Gonna Crawl really send them off in fine form, nothing to be ashamed of.  Considering what they went through to make that album, it's pretty fucking great.

(although that flubbed note at 2:50 will stick in my brain forever...)

I’ve always loved South Bound Saurez.

Thank you so much for bringing this album up.

I sometimes forget about it, then I hear that great shuffle and guitar groove on “Fool in the Rain.”

My band in high school used to play Hot Dog. It's a riot.

 

In the Evening is a top 5 Zep song to me too.

That was the first song I ever tabbed out completely on my own. In retrospect, I probably should’ve picked something a bit slower. I probably burned out the motor on my cassette player. I’ll chalk it up to misspent youth.

Say Chad, how'd you burn out your cassette player?

"Jammed to In Through the Out Door too many times."

Then how'd you burn out your video tape player?

"Fapped to In Through the Out Door, Part 4 too many times."  

Misspent Youth, eh?

One of my older siblings had ITTOD cassette and that was pretty much my introduction to Zeppelin in 6th/7th grade.  By 8th grade, I had saved up to buy a CD player and first album I bought on the new format was "Led Zeppelin II"  I musta played along with "Heartbreaker" a thousand times.  Never once got close to getting it right, but it was fun as hell.  50 years ago next week, the first group non-studio rehearsals begin for "Physical Graffiti."  They will head into the studio to record in November 1973.  All kinds of issues and delays await, but 50 fucking years ago next week, the foundation was laid for that amazingly diverse album.

Hot Dog is a country and western song.

Change my mind.

I'm not sure you're going to find anyone here arguing that with you.  I think it's closer to country parody, or love letter.  Hard to say.

I tabbed out that solo to "Heartbreaker" - at least all the bits after that cascade of notes freakout.  

I had a lot of time on my hands around 8th grade.  I'll remind everyone this was pre-internet and pron was hard to come by. 

Yeah, I said it.

Right there, too.  I imagine Led Zeppelin, and really all rock music of the 70's would have been a lot less popular amongst those of us who came up listening/playing it in the 80's & 90's had we an infinite amount of free porn.  

I tabbed out a few Zeppelin songs in later junior high.  Sounds like you were much more diligent.  I gave up guitar at 15, my last growth spurt-I lost whatever little hand-eye coordination I had.  Stuck with drums for a bit since that's a little less nuanced and I had good rhythm and stamina (that's what she said).  While I tried to imitate Page, I never bothered mimicking Bonham.  Could do some swings and shuffles and basic blues, but once you've heard "Ramble On"'s Bonham, you know you're just wasting sticks and time.  

Also-maybe it was mentioned upthread but I don't think so and we should kick ourselves---Robert Plant turned 75 this week.
