  • Episode 48 – Led Zeppelin’s 'Ten Years Gone'
    Feb 19 2025

    This week on Mandatory Music, we take a deep dive into Led Zeppelin’s 'Ten Years Gone.' But before we get into the heart of Zeppelin, we briefly revisit Black Sabbath’s final show. From there, we break down the emotion, composition, and songwriting behind 'Ten Years Gone' and touch on Zeppelin’s live performances. Unfortunately, we ran into some audio issues, so the episode ends abruptly—but hey, that’s rock and roll! Tune in and enjoy the ride.
