At the time Sandy sang on this Led Zeppelin track, she was one of the leading female folk-rock singers in England. She had incredible control over how she expressed her voice. Her work with Fairport Convention was some of her best. "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is one of her best known, but some of my favorites include "Autopsy", "Genesis Hall", "Fotheringay (the song of this name), and "She Moves Through The Fair". All of these also feature the excellent guitar work of Richard Thompson.

The Battle of Evermore is Led Zeppelin's hidden gem

Fan since '73. Honestly, it's always been my favorite LZ song.

[@rayeckert242]

I love watching you two reacting to these songs. The way Nick’s face scrunches up when a particular section of a tune really hits him. That’s real music appreciation. And the way he can play “air anything” ( guitar, drums… even mandolin). Thanks for doing what you do. 11:11 forever!

[@classicrocklady6288]

I'm going to see Robert and Allison Krause do this next Sunday. I think Allison puts a softer twist on it. Can't wait to see them live. 6th row, center stage. Gift from my son...big Zeppelin fan! And willing to take his old Mom along. 😊

[@triscat]

Enjoy! Plant is better than ever.

[@scottanderson8420]

My good friend G-man‘s favorite Led Zeppelin song may he rest in peace thanks for the great reaction. It brings back a lot of memories of the days of roofing houses back in Texas and G-man‘s favorite band was the Phenomenal Led Zeppelin.

[@bstapylton-smith1940]

Sandy is probably my favourite lady singer of all time. You must visit some of her songs from her days in Fairport Convention and Fotheringay, and of course her solo work too. Please can I suggest 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes', which I believe Sandy wrote when she was still in her teens, and 'A Sailor's Life', a fine example of what became known as Folk Rock.

[@michaelatkinson8291]

One of the few Led Zeppelin songs I can replicate on drums.

[@NicknLex]

How fun!!!

[@Ledzepnut]

Hahaha

[@bumperu]

Everybody remembers Stairway to Heavan from the album, but this is the one that sneaks up on you and you never forget it and it gets better and better with age. PS: Sandy Denny from the group Fairport Convention. Might want to check them out. Song: Who Knows Where the Time Goes.

[@markdrechsler5660]

You really should listen to Sandy with Fairport Convention. Her final record with Fairport, “Liege and Lief,” is widely regarded as a classic folk rock album, and all of the FP albums with her are worth a listen. She also has several fine solo albums.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Did you ever see Heart cover this? Fabulous! I was a teen in the 70s...best time of my life!

[@TheReaperMan275]

Heart does an amazing cover of this. Anne Wilson is just out of this world.

[@rayeckert242]

Ann and Nancy cover this one like they “own” it. After you hear it, you think… they kinda do.

[@juliemanarin4127]

Always something new and fabulous with them! And Jimmy on JPJs mandolin! They gave Sandy her own rune symbol on the album.

[@billtaylor3382]

The GOAT! I'm 66 yo now and have loved the band since 1969, I was 11 year old.!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gregolson1475]

He still does this song with Allison Kraus in their live shows. And it's still good. You should check it out. Just saw them last month.

[@gbsailing9436]

You guys would do well to react to HEART's cover version of this where, both Anne and Nancy sing the parts, but Anne also plays guitar!!! SO GOOD!!!

[@KawaTony1964]

Heart does an awesome cover of this song. My favorite version is the "Live in Seattle" one, I think it's from 2002.

[@stephensmith4577]

Please guys, you must check out Heart’s live version of this song. (Really a duet with just the Wilson sisters) It’s awesome.

[@davidmolina3520]

As a young guitar player, this was the second song that I learned to play.

[@garyspry1444]

Thanks for this. One of my favorites. Takes me back to my youth like so many Zeppelin songs. Their songs do it like none others.

[@PhilliptBates]

I've always loved this song.... it's mesmerising. The ending is especially awesome.

[@myrdozer]

This one and Ramble On are two of my faves. The Levy is there with them. Loved your review and reaction. And, maybe we were a bit jaded because we knew we were hearing new stuff that never happened before and just kept coming. Like you said, the 70's were crazy with choices. We never dreamed it would end. But alas.............

[@GorgonTheHybrid]

Been my favorite Zeppelin song forever.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

OmG, Gorgon is alive, haven't seen you in ages😮 I hope you're doing fine. I had to get a bit older to appreciate this song, as Teenager I liked it hard and loud😅

[@mr.mojorisin1616]

Hey, you moved your LeSudio clock so we can see it! Awesome! Also see you've reached 100 Thousand subs! Congratulations! This is one of Led Zeppelin's dee cuts that always brings a thrill. One of my all-time favorite Zep songs. Hope you guys are doing well. Give me a shout sometime...I'm always around! Peace!

[@NicknLex]

Hi Mr. Mojo!!! We adjusted the camera a bit to squeeze it in - glad you noticed!!! 😀 Thanks for your constant love and support! Hoping you and your son are well! 💗

[@ChrisLegner-qp1yh]

The really subtle genius of LZ's acoustic tracks is that they still have this unique quality of still being heavy and dark. This one in particular really conveys a sense of foreboding dread.

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi Guys , love this song. I still remember the 1st time I bought Led Zepp 4 and playing the whole album on vinyl in the 70's. Back then we called it "The Runes Album". I have no idea if people still do. I must point out and not for the 1st time > The cover version by "Heart" Alive in Seattle [ 2003 ] is totally amazing !! I have the dvd of the full concert, and I do know "The Battle of Evermore" with this version is on u.t. You seriously need to check it out. I promise you will wonder why noone has told you before ? ... ahem ! Cooeee ! 😀👍 Meee did ! 😳 The final minute or two will blow you away !!! I give you my word, it is sooooo brilliant ! ...and remember ...They did it live !! Byee Jim X

Ann Wilson. That lady has some serious vocal skills! You can never go wrong with Led Zeppelin. 🔥

[@jimled50jl49]

@@raiderfan346 Hey Raider !!! So true, and Heart even performed Led Zepp cover in front of Page & Plant at the Hall of Fame. That must have been nervous walk onto the stage, knowing that. Lol

[@scottanderson8420]

Some sad news about Ann Wilson’s health today 😰

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi Jim, how are you ? haven't seen much of you lately. 👋Rudi🤘

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

She sang with one of Led Zep's favourite band, Fairport Convention. Check out their Unhalfbricking album, she shines through, especially on Genesis Hall and Autopsy. She never recorded a solo album that was worthy of the promise she showed with Fairport.

[@user-ds8bi2fw9e]

back in '94, I saw Page/Plant tour. They came with Egyptian musicians. They played this song ! Incredible/ amazing show !

[@RichardDickson-to7zg]

Hey kids, finally got a spot for a marathon request. Please let me know that you received it. I had one put together that included this song so I had to revise it before posting. I've enjoyed the ride with you guys.

[@ianlewis3023]

Sandy Denny singing 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' was once voted the best folk song of all time - off the Fairport Convention album 'Unhalfbricking'

[@glenndespres5317]

This song is sooooo good! Man, they should have done the soundtrack to Lord of The Rings. Perfect description Lex. They give ‘in full’. That must be why my whole body was tingling at the end there. Amazing.

[@sicotshit7068]

It is a beautiful song, & Robert & Sandy sound amazing together. She was the only person outside the band, to preform vocals on any song with Led Zeppelin. Lex needs to delve deep into their other albums, she’s missing other great songs, there’s very few that aren’t great. I only have two that aren’t my favorites, many lives are even better then the albums. Two of my favorite lives are, Madison Square Gardens (1973) Since I’ve Been Loving You, is better then the studio. Earls Court the May 25,1975 version, of In My Time Of Dying, mind blowing performance. Out of the performances there, this date is the best.

[@PhilipPedro2112]

The studio version is so clean, though. Not only their best, and probably only original, blues song but a great blues song in it's own right. Cheers from Bodcau Bayou, Louisiana!

[@kms01112011]

Liege and Lief is an amazing that features Sandy singing and Richard Thompson on guitar. Check out Tam Lin.

[@wendellwiggins2900]

ONE of THE MOST TRIPPY HIPPIE BEAUTIFUL AMAZING acoustic SONGS EVER by LZ which was so powerful during the era! And yes our minds were blissfully BLOWN & bombarded with all this NEW IMAGINATIVE music coming from all directions and genres with diverse influences, But WE did know how great all of them were, but I think we got spoiled and took it for granted (like we often do in every moment) ALSO the concerts from 71-74 were like only $5-15! LOL!!!!! We were only 17 and saw LZ at MSG at the last minute during a random visit to NY in 1973 for $10 each

[@NicknLex]

Wow, those were the days!! Concerts are so out of price range now a days!!

[@wendellwiggins2900]

@@NicknLex So, 15 minutes late, we luckily secured unretrieved Will Call tickets at the Box Office for the soldout show, but prior we were offered scalped tickets for the outrages cost of $50 each. HAHA yeah times were different back then.

[@ZEPnALE]

Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart do an excellent cover of this song.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Ann & Nancy Wilson's 1995 inaugural RR HOF performance of this song, they are the ultimate Zep groupies.

[@jamesleonard9703]

My alltime favorite song from LZ. For me personally. When I was 16 or so. Long brown hair, no shirt, hot outside, drinking beer and smoking weed. Got the music crank up, at a friend's house with 10 or 15 people. BRINGS BACK SOME GREAT GREAT F--KING MEMORIES.

[@NicknLex]

Wow this sounds like a wonderful memory; thanks for sharing with us!!

[@andrewmason7207]

i was about 8 when i first heard this . was a bit freaky when my bro put the lights out, considering it followed blew my head of. cheers guys

[@mvunit3]

Welcome to Lord of the Rings! :D "The pain of war cannot exceed The woe of aftermath The drums will shake the castle wall The Ringwraiths ride in black Ride on!" And some Celtic and 'Arthurian' mythology mixed in ("I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon"), along with the eternal battle of Good and Evil. Probably in my Top 5 Zeppelin songs. It really takes you to another time. "Heart" also does an EXCELLENT version live in Seattle (find: "Battle Of Evermore (Live) Heart HD"). - So back in the days of a different mic and slightly different background :D.

[@jean-michelcagnac]

Sandy Denny had recorded several solo albums-notably-''Sandy'' in 1972..MAny participation with FAIRPORT CONVENTION AND-OFF course-FOTHERINGAY...Great voice/songwriter...and more!

[@JohnMacRae23]

You all should react to Sandy solo... she is the single greatest singer to have walked this planet (imo).

[@StephenSelby-h5o]

With you 100%. Not including opera singers who are on a different level.

[@triscat]

I remember a music writer, way back, wrote that the Tolkien estate owed LZ a great debt of gratitude for keeping his work alive for a few years. Songs that reference (or at least bring the spirit of) Middle Earth: Ramble On, Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop, The Song Remains the Same, Over the Hills and Far Away, Achilles Last Stand, In The Light. Love the books. Now, you can listen to "Rivendell" by Rush!

[@krisdoggett483]

I always really liked this song. Great album.

[@horaciobravo3449]

Que buena reacción a tan hermoso tema!! Les recomiendo que escuchen un tema que esta buenísimo. Se trata de "No puedo dejar" de Ser Giran 92. Abrazooo!!!

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

Sandy Denny was just Ethereal on this song. I know from the first day I heard this song that it was a woman singing with Robert. I was about 11 or 12 when I first heard it. It's always been a special Zeppelin song to me. Otherworldly. Also it was Jimmy Page playing the Mandolin. Not John Paul Jones. Jimmy just picked it up one day & playing with it came up with the riff for this song. Also probably one of the hardest hitting Mandolin riffs ever.

El IV de Led Zeppelin es un discazo!

[@sicotshit7068]

Do you realize they stopped because the greatest drummer, & their friend John Bonham passed away. They knew they couldn’t replace him, that was their plan if any of them quit or passed away. They were like different parts of the same musician, they melded so perfect together. Yes other band replace band mates, but Led Zeppelin’s magic surpassed other bands. I think both of you need to checkout more of their story, that’s part of being a fan. Like what was going on during the Presence album, & why there was also 2 years of not playing, before In Through The Out Door. They put out great albums in a short time, where every song is great, well the majority is. They also toured like crazy, doing 3 to 4 hour concerts almost nightly.

I learned a lot about old English folk tales in songs through Sandy Denny's work with Fairport Convention and her solo recordings. The same year as this Zeppelin album, 1971, Sandy recorded an old English folk song called "Blackwaterside" on her North Star Grassman & The Ravens album. Interestingly, Led Zeppelin recorded an instrumental version of this same song in 1969, and they called it "Black Mountain Slide" . But I always liked Sandy's vocal version better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHK7d4SNl7-Al6c
