One of the best Led Zeppelin songs ever imo. I have a soundboard bootleg (one of many I have found over the years) on CD from a year later in Berlin just a few weeks before Bonham death. If you can find it, it is abysmal. Page playing all over the place and filled with mistakes. Almost unlistenable. I believe around this time he was using a lot of drugs. Led Zeppelin was dead even before Bonham passed. The earlier ones from before 1973 are epic when they were a real machine. Texas Speedway, Royal Albert Hall if you can find them in late 60's/early 70's rip.

Gotta say that song has to be almost impossible for one guitarist. I have read the bold before and that's a shame. Listening to their early live stuff from the early 70's, the audio sucks..sounds like listening inside a can, but you can see Page was brilliant. Then the later years, page wasn't as good, but the video's are clear and the sound is a lot better.

It's hard to find something in the middle where we had decent recording tech and Zeppelin was jammin. For sure Achillies Last Stand is one of their best and it never got a lot of playing time. I thought the entire Presence album was great, but it wasn't as well received as their other earlier albums. Weird.

Yeah but Page early on was unreal. If you can find Royal Albert Hall 1970 it is quite a performance. My favorite concert on bootleg. Compare Page here to 1979/80. Plant's voice at this time was not worn out from so much touring. Pre-drugs too. This show on video too. A great watch and listen. A rare live version of Bring It On Home.

 
Another Royal Albert Hall gem. Dazed and Confused. Epic. My favorite Zeppelin song. This one set me off being obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Heavy Metal back in 1976 when I first heard it. Metal before Black Sabbath even.

 


though the lead in was the new ish
 
Better than the Madonna version. By far, better band. Better vocals too since it is Jeff Scott Soto.

 
More Talisman. Soto covering his own song with Malmsteen. Great metal singer. One of the best imo.

It's interesting how the right tune can set the stage for a day's productivity.

Hopped in the Jeep on the way to work this morning, hit "shuffle" on every song on my phone Bluetoothed into the stereo and I get that badass legendary masterpiece riff that still gets you fucking amped for a "kick ass" day of work!

Can't hear this song without expecting Rob Van Damm to come out to the ring

This was performed at the World Famous Cain’s Ballroom here in Tulsey Town…home of the writer of the song Leon Russell.
