Night Flight: Led Zeppelin’s “Live EP” Celebrates 50 Years of “Physical Graffiti”

July 24, 2025 by Joe Marchese | 8 Comments

Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti, originally released in February 1975, arrived almost two years after the band’s last album, Houses of the Holy. Unsurprisingly, it was Zeppelin’s most sprawling effort to date. The double-LP set showcased every side of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham’s increasingly varied repertoire. It turned 50 earlier this year, and now Rhino is marking the occasion with a new Live EP due on 180-gram 12″ vinyl, CD, and digital/streaming services on September 12. On the same date, the label will reissue 2015’s Deluxe Edition on…

Jimmy Page Black Crowes Live at The Greek

A rare concert team-up between one of the great blues-rock bands of the last four decades and one of the greatest guitarists of all time is getting revisited in a new 3CD or 6LP set due for release next month.

Ramble On! Review: The Led Zeppelin Remasters – “I,” “II” and “III”

June 16, 2014 by Joe Marchese | 12 Comments

Led Zeppelin wasn’t built in a day. “Good Times Bad Times,” the first track off the hard rock combo’s first album, today sounds very much of its time and also unusually forward-thinking. The crunchy riff that introduces the track augured for the amped-up sound of metal to come, but the opening verse and chorus still have one foot in mod pop. Yet the sheer attack that marks Zeppelin’s best work was already there. Jimmy Page’s guitar cuts loose at about the minute-and-a-half point, John Bonham’s intense drums drive the entire song. John…
