Yeah Uh Huh Episode 29 - Led Zeppelin and Zeppelin Day with Aaron!

Our co-host Aaron and I go back to 7th grade middle school.  We met in the infamous Mr. Meoski's science class,  but it was a year or so before we started hanging out and listening to tunes together.  He carried a boom box that that only seemed to play "Blizzard of Oz" and Billy Squier when we decided to wind on down the road of the complete Led Zeppelin catalog.  Of course,  we already knew "Stairway to Heaven",  "Black Dog",  "Whole Lotta Love" and all the epic rock jams in regular rotation on WEBN at the time.  But it was not until we started meticulously collecting all the cassettes of the studio recordings that we developed a true appreciation for the breadth and majesty of Zeppelin, the overlooked gems like "Out on the Tiles" and "Tea for One".  Soon,  we found ourselves making weekend pilgrimages to Everybody's Records,  a fine shop on Ridge Road that is better than ever today,  gathering every bootleg we could find.  "Copenhagen Warmups", "Earl's Court",  just anything.  There was even one from their 1977 Riverfront Coliseum show in Cincinnati.  Some of it was incredibly poor audio quality,  but we wore them out anyway.  By now,  we were known to partake of some recreational smokes on occasion,  and studious as we were at the time we spent the better part of a week listening to the entire Zeppelin discography together, pondering it almost metaphysically and recording our tangential thoughts on each song, as if anybody cared.  Pretentious as the exercise was,  it was just a blast to binge the music that way, completely unencumbered by the copyright concerns and riff stealing that would eventually haunt the band.  I searched for those notes and I am still convinced they exist somewhere in my garage or basement,  but this special episode of YUH is our attempt to recapture some of that magic of when Zeppelin was new to us,  and unlike anything we had ever seen or heard.  Every Wednesday since one random Wednesday in 1983 or 84 has been Zeppelin Day, and always will be!
