LZ2 was early...2 8 track machines were syncd together...and the Beatles overdubbed until Sgt Pepper which was done on 8 track...Click tracks are not used to sync tape machines!
You use one track on a multitrack to record a SMPTE synchronisation pulse (a not very pleasant or playable to sound) so that two machines can then be synchronised. For example to synchronise two 24-track machines you would lose one track per machine to SMPTE timecode leaving you with 46 usable tracks.
Considering Led Zep II was recorded in quite a few different studios it was probably recorded on 8 or 16 track tape (24 track machines didn't really get used until the mid 70's and I think Presence was their first album to use that format) and that really would have been plenty - at the time 16 tracks was considered an incredible amount and synchronising two tape deck without physically connecting the mechanisms (so no need for a sync track) was a pipe dream.... remember The Beatles recorded the majority of their stuff on 4 tracks!
I call bullshit on this one.
The pitter-patter clicking noise is Bonham hitting either cardboard boxes (like on Buddy Holly's 'everyday' which has been stated as an influence on the song) or his knees and is there deliberately - Do you really think Page would have left in in otherwise?. If you want to call Bonham's percussion a 'click track' that's fine, but technically incorrect.

Andy Johns in Home recording magazine several years back...Where did you get that info that someone left the click track fader open? -
I was under the impression Bonham was doing the percussion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramble_On
He did...but the clicking noise was the click track...
-
Right on...Ramble On?
-
You guys will kick yourselves when someone does answer right...it is very promimnant on the track...

I had to edit this...I shouldnt have to drop hints here...lol.

Click tracks are used to sync tape machines...and yes there was a song where it was left up...and they were used...
-
Can anyone name the tune that the engineer left the click track fader up in the final mix?

In an 80s movie "French Postcards" ...one of the students were holding up the cover of LZ3 while "Celebration day" was playing with the vocals in french...and I once heard "The Lemon Song" in a 70s porn flick...

I saw this Led Zeppelin tribute band called Kashmir a few years back in Boston they were ok..
http://www.forgefest...ibute-band.html
Great on many counts...but a few flaws...Robert would sing through a Shure 545 or an SM57...but a wireless...lol.
Bonzo would never let them close mic his drum kit...one bass drum mic (Beyer M80) and 2 Overheads (Neumann u87s)
But they were really good...
-
A band called "No Quarter" was the very best Ive ever seen...the worst..."Houses of the Holy" (The one touring with Austrailian Pink Floyd)...they had 5 members...the Plant had brown short hair...and they didnt even try to have the look...plus the equipment they were using...Ibenez guitars???
VAN HALEN!

Its so weird the comparassons between the Van Halen Sam and Dave versions...but I go with Sammy here...for Dave, Eddie had to tune down a few steps because Dave didnt have the range...and it resulted in sloppy playing...and when Dave went...so did Ted Templeton...and Eddie self produced...
...but Daves band with Steve Vai was much better than Van Halen ever was...as is Sammys band with Joe Satriani...
