I liked how he pointed out that the lead off track from Houses was literally the first thing the world heard after IV/Stairway. Obvious, but I never thought about it that way, and I will not think about Song Remains the Same in quite the same way again.

Once the "Song Remains The Same" montage starts, the serendipitously overexposed sun-bleached driving shots provide the ideal "faded" vintage nostalgia backdrop to the driving footage, as vintage Zep blasts in the background. If the footage was regular clear "modern" GoPro footage without the sun glare, that opening sequence would not have anywhere the same impact. It also sustains long enough to make it impossible to not start bobbing your head. The opening 2.5 mins is one of the best car video intros I've ever seen.

I loved how "The Ocean" is being played in the background while he discusses the negative reception of Houses of the Holy. Wham!! Here is a commercially panned album, ironically containing one of Zep's most epic and definitive riffs of their entire career. It truly hammers home the theme of people always sticking their noses up at anything new, even if it kicks ass in every quantifiable way. (PDK, anyone?!)

Is that a loser's "wah wah wahhhh" sound effect when he shows the garish bumpers of other cars? Or is that some insane cosmic exhaust note coincidence?

My prefered ending would have been for him to go directly from "....the bedroom poster industry can not be overstated. It was HUGE." then cutting straight into Kashmir and the exit driving montage.
