jb126 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Can't figure this one out. This forum, google and brain searches have failed me. Can anyone tell me what song is played just before the 20 minute mark, and lasts about 10-15 seconds, during "Dazed and Confused" on How the West Was Won? Thanks.

zepscoda Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Are you refering to walters walk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb126 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 This piece's tempo seems slower than "Walter's Walk", but perhaps that's how it was played before it was recorded? Thanks for the quick reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmtomh Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's not a part of a song; it's just a transition from one part of Dazed to another, that they did live but not on the studio version. If memory serves, this instrumental transition appeared in some form on some of Zep's earliest live performances of Dazed - and it might even have appeared (in truncated form) on Page's performances of the track back in '68 with the Yardbirds.

Rock Historian Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Should have done this first....same piece at 23:01. ....never heard that being part of any original song, it's all part of the incorporated "jam" section. Zeppelin were a very spontaneous band (live). I'm certain that this piece of the arrangement was "worked" on many times before "getting it done" on stage-but sometimes things happened without intention. At some point early on, maybe that's how this came about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb126 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks everyone. I'm glad I finally asked the question, I could have gone on for a while trying to find a song that does not exist. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It's just Jimmy riffing as they approach another bridge within the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's an improvisation based on "Mars, the bringer of war" by Gustav Holst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's an improvisation based on "Mars, the bringer of war" by Gustav Holst. We have a winner...congratulations reswati!!! The trainspotters must have been away for the day, as this part has been referred to as the Mars section for at least since the first Luis Rey book was published. It's also listed on ledzeppelinreference.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb126 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I did look/listen there ( ledzeppelinreference.com) at one point, but it did not sound the same to me. I knew someone would have the answer. To be honest, I thought it might a piece of a Black Sabbath song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porgie66 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Since this got comically revived, may as well say that obviously Friends was also inspired thematically by Holst's Mars from the Planets suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
