what i remember of this awesome tune was Roberts piercing vocals...almost off pudding..but thats the old blues and how they sang back then...microphone too. You capture the vocals lovely and Pagie would be proud of ya...

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thank you!

[@shilohpuppy5649]

Glad to hear someone hit those high Robert notes AND play flawless guitar like the master wizard maestro himself!!! Excellent job young lady!!

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thank you...glad you enjoyed it ans thank you for calling me a young lady 😆

[@410142109]

Wonderful , singing this from a woman`s perspective i suppose makes you appreciate Robert Plant from the time he was on top form ,i remember him in an interview around 1975/76 describing how lucky he was to have such talented musicians surrounding him and later in another interview describing himself as a mere Karaoke singer? .....Really Mr Plant you sound like Janis Joplin on steroids singing Since I`ve been loving you!...coming back to you Vesper i think Robert would be very impressed!.

[@Vesper_Songs]

@@410142109 you are very kind. Thank you for your nice comment and I am glad you enjoyed it. I share your feelings about Plant. He is nothing short of amazing!

[@mp95b20]

Your covers of obscure Zeppelin songs continue to amaze me. Keep going Girlfriend 😊

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thanks..I'm a big Zep fan and especially love their acoustic songs. Hoping to do a fully-produced recording of Going to California soon...with the mandolin and everything. Stay tuned!

[@josephkolakowski6739]

Epic on both the guitar and vocals. Not an easy song to perform.

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thanks so much...appreciate your kind support!

[@jmacc9876]

Wow! Great cover. Vocals and guitar both on point!

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thank you, Jeff! 🙂

[@cslloyd1]

The most underrated tune of all Zep.

[@Vesper_Songs]

Not by me, LOL!

[@stevenhanson6057]

By who?

[@jetcat132]

It’s one of Zep’s most under heard and underrated tracks… It’s just so moody and mysterious, part of the enigma they were back then. Great job capturing that essence here, it’s very difficult to do. That is what makes Zeppelin covers so tough, but you nailed it.

[@Vesper_Songs]

Moody and mysterious, yes! Thank you for your comment and happy you liked it 😊

[@samr.england613]

It's well 'heard' among true Zep fans.

[@jetcat132]

@@samr.england613 Yes it is. Back in the day we all knew of it, but now I would consider it a deep cut that most younger fans never hear.

[@jeffvandagrif]

Vesper !!!! You rocked it ! Hard as shit to sing for sure . Thanks 😊

Hi Jeff, thank you for the kind words! Love this song, even if it is a little hard to sing 🙂

[@prometheusnm9246]

Amazing performance! My fav Led Zep acoustic song, I never thought I’d see someone do both the vocals and guitar on this one it seems so complex to do together

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thank you, Prometheus! I love this song too and it's one of my favorite Zep tunes. It was tricky singing and playing it. I've found that to be true with almost all the Zep tunes I've covered, especially That's the Way and Gallows Pole.

[@nurisupertitiz9631]

Thank you! 🙂

[@timtebowsleftarm5368]

Another great job! And a fantastic, needed message. Part of me wonders how you’d do with a 12-string on these songs. They sound spectacular. (Though I’m sure it’s a costly investment to get a top quality one.)

[@Vesper_Songs]

Thank you, Tim! I used to have a nice Ovation 12 string years ago. I wish I still had it. Maybe I'll invest in another one soon. Thanks for the idea :)

Aw Vesper, this is yet another example why I love you 😍 I love this ❤ Also just listened to your recent original and enjoyed that too...you are so talented and you keep inspiring me to keep on trying.
