Led Zeppelin tracks

[ead]

Already mentioned above but my favs are Achilles Last Stand, 10 Years Gone and The Song Remains The Same.  I don't think that any of these really count as obscure or forgotten though.

[Jonesy]

There are so many great tunes and not that many obscure ones. On top of what's been mentioned, I'd chuck 'We're gonna groove' in there.

[Old Man Riva]

There are some good inclusions on the remastered releases from 2014.

There’s a version of Since I’ve Been Loving You on the companion disc of Zeppelin III that, whilst being titled as a rough mix, is just (one) guitar, (guide?) vocal, keys and drums that is well worth a listen…

There's a lot of great obscure Led Zeppelin. Like what ever they didn't perform live.

The BBC sessions has some great live studio stuff.

A much better live album than 'Celebration Day'.

 

[Delberthot]

Most of my favourties have already been mentioned but one not mentioned so far is the Wanton Song. The first time i heard it was when I found this video on Youtube years ago. Plus it has Charlie Jones playing his clear acrylic Precision

…and the fantastic Michael Lee on drums, Gawd bless ‘im.

Every time I listen to Zep I'm blown away by their creativity and work rate. Extraordinary talents  

[Fingul]

Dazed & Confused;

All of My Love. 

But most of them are great

Great drummer, saw that tour. They don't have much luck with drummers. Tap-esque!

You'll have to post a link to it if you have a recording as I'd love to hear that, your Lordship.

I wish I did! I might get the guitar player to work up a recording of it.

So 100 years gone!?

[bassintheface]

Tonnes of fav's.......

 

drums on 'fool in the rain' - saying that, you could say that about every Zep song to be fair, but I love the groove.

 

BBC Sessions is great and I spent a lot of my youth trying to play like JPJ with that album on repeat!

 

Ramble On is a fav, as is Custard pie, The Wanton Song, Thank You, The Rover,  Heartbreaker.....I could go on..........

 

This thread is great as it's made me re visit lots of music I haven't listened to in ages so thanks!

As an aside, I think this is a rare time in history in that LZ's stock feels a bit on the low side at the moment. But it's a sleeping giant, and it'll be back...

[mike f]

So many good songs by Led Zep. I’ll add The Wanton Song and Boogie With Stu. Maybe not obscure but played less.

Bloody good all the same.

Well I've got my 12 yr old son into them so I'm  doing my bit!

[bassintheface]

It's also reminded me of a tale - an old sound engineer pal of mine who used to be Roy Harper's FOH engineer (along with Fairport Convention and the Strawbs I believe).

He told me a tale some time ago of a night at Telford's Warehouse in Chester where Roy Harper was playing.

Tony was on FOH and felt this tap on his shoulder  a few times, but turned around and couldn't see anyone....happened again and he looked down to see a crouching Sir Robert of Plant.....who proceeds to say "shhhh Tony, I'm incognito........"

 

Tony replies with "but Robert, you're 6'3" with a mane of blonde hair and are the lead singer of Led Zeppelin"

What is and what should never be is class. Has a great bassline too.

Nice Clip.. 'Tight'... and compred to Michael Lee really goes to show how 'behind or at the back of the beat' John Bonham's feel was... really giving a driving along push feel.

Might have to dig out TSRTS Dvd... used to go to the Scala Cinema in Kings Cross to the Allnighters to see this, Heavy Metal, A Strange case of Alice Cooper films.

I'll admit to leaving them to it after an already too long set at some big festival or other, early '70s. Interminable slathering and pounding; enough, already. I was definitely disillusioned on sitting through 'The Song Remains The Same' at its cinema release. Rather an exposé of their attitude, I thought, and I left at the end feeling rather cheated by the whole 'machine'. I was never an unconditional of the drumming, to be fair (I'm a drummer; I prefer other 'touches' (Joe Morello, anyone..?), whilst giving the bloke some credit...). I'm out.
