Just got finished watching the latest "What Makes This Song Great?" from Rick Beato. He hasn't done one of these breakdowns in a long time, and this one is a doozy:

Good stuff. John Paul Jones is a highly accomplished musician in his own right and doesn't get the recognition he deserves for his contributions to the band, IMHO. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant left him out for some recent reunions, which I thought was not cool.

This might be a dumb question, but how do you get access to the individual instrument tracks for a song, particularly an older one like StH? Are the original tracks available for purchase from the record companies, or are they separated out directly from the song through software somehow?

I thought it was software. It looks like Apple Logic Pro.

I love the RB videos. I wonder where he gets these recordings broken down by track layers or does he have some sort of software that does this?

That's a great question. I wish I would have thought of it.

LOL, I was feeling deja vu, doubting my memory.
 
Jones played three different flutes on Stairway also. He was dwarfed by the sexy androgynous grandeur of Page and Plant, two bona fide rocks stars if there ever were any. Jones just hung in the back and played amazingly, but hardly anyone noticed. Sad.

One of my favorite covers by the "Playing For Change" project features John Paul Jones.

Technically, it wasn't a flute, but a recorder I believe.

I sit corrected! According to my search, Jonesy was credited with playing the bass, tenor, and soprano recorders.

And lest we forget, Jones wrote Zep's coolest riff, Black Dog.

...commence argument about what is Zeppelin's coolest riff... 😋
 
Stairway to Heaven

Anyone remember the stupid backmasking bullshit claims for this song? I remember this from my sophmore year in college. And of course, California with its endless churning out of ridiculous laws to save us from ourselves thought they should mandate warning labels on the records. The stupid..it burns.

I have to admit though, you can kind of hear the words when the song is played backward (see Wikipedia article song clips, forward and backward). Not sure if its just a weird coincidence or if the brain is being primed to interpret it that way by printing the lyrics as you follow along...

In a January 1982 broadcast of the Trinity Broadcasting Network television program Praise the Lord hosted by Paul Crouch, it was claimed that hidden messages were contained in many popular rock songs through a technique called backmasking. One example of such hidden messages that was prominently cited was in "Stairway to Heaven". The alleged message, which occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now...") when played backward, was purported to contain the Satanic references: "Here's to my sweet Satan / The one whose little path would make me sad whose power is Satan, / He'll give you, he'll give you 666 / There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."

Following the claims made in the television program, California assemblyman Phil Wyman proposed a state law that would require warning labels on records containing backmasking. In April 1982, the Consumer Protection and Toxic Materials Committee of the California State Assembly held a hearing on backmasking in popular music, during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backward and self-described "neuroscientific researcher" William Yarroll claimed that the human brain could decipher backward messages.
