This made me so happy. Can I give 10 thumbs up? I've been wanting you to react to this song for awhile. I'm sure I have suggested it at least once or twice. What I have always loved about this song is the instrumentals. John Paul Jones on organ, followed by Plant on harmonica, and then Jimmy page on guitar back to back to back. Throw in Plant's vocal gymnastics, Bonham's steady drums, and that cool echo effect that gives a haunting feel to the song and you just can't help but love every second of it. A fun song you haven't tried from them yet is Custard Pie. Jimmy has some cool guitar effects and Plant tears it up on harmonica.

If there were any additional instruments like keyboards, organ, mandolin, or bass... it was John Paul Jones... He was multi-talented weapon in Led Zeppelin. He was a highly schooled musician and was already an established composer/ arranger in the 60's before he joined Zeppelin... The band's studio engineers said that John Bonham & John Paul Jones were the best rhythm section they had recorded... Led Zeppelin's bass and drums were usually done in 1 or 2 takes (which is unreal even today).
