It was always said that Zep played at its best when it was visiting Los Angeles. This cut serves as a testament to that saying. All 4 of them are on fire.

bianchi1885 but compared to RAH in 70 it's a completely different band but equally as exhilarating

One word: BONZO!!!! Just incredible.

I can't believe Jimmy didn't wanna release this when How the West Was Won came out. He has so many resources to make it sound great. It's not bad as is. Fans love it. The Who and Stones are releasing stuff thru smaller labels that were former " underground ": releases.. Why can't our Glorious Zeppelin?

[@cfb30]

This was recorded as a bootleg, single track recording. I don't think Page (or any producer) could have done much with it.

[@JohnBindon]

Jimmy's guitar strap came undone near the beginning of the song - it confused the band for a moment. It happened in Buffalo, NY during Rock & Roll in July of 1973. Shit like that happens !

[@PaintedSidewalk]

They sounded confused as hell! it sure gave me a pretty good laugh. lol i guess locking straps hadn't been invented yet!

[@michaelpeach2833]

@@PaintedSidewalk Their so-called "confusion" sounds better and is tighter than 99% of the bands today.

True, a lot of bands couldn’t handle it as well as Zeppelin

@@michaelpeach2833 I really liked that part too, only Jonesy with his alembic bass guitar and Bonzo hitting that drums like thunder lights!!

[@pauldavidson1276]

Are you sure? I always thought it was because one of his strings was out of tune and he switched out guitars real quick. Listen to the chords between 0:37 - 0:40

Plant sings his ass off!
