Be careful what you wish for, lol. Gabby LaLa might be the closest we get.

Yea, that one is cool! Never knew it came from a bootleg cover.

1. 1970 2. 1972 3. 1969

Kickass, someone finally uploaded this collab, I was looking for it a few months ago, could only find a live Southbound Pachyderm. It's good!

I think you are far from alone there, friend! I first saw the original trilogy around age 13, so, yeah, seeing this was pretty memorable.

Yea, that's the same thing that happening to me! Yes, I remember the dial up days well. Nothing much you could do efficiently besides use instant messenger and e-mail, lol. The nostalgia...

Indeed!

Oh ok, glad it's not just me! Thanks ebk.

Oh, maybe it's my browser or something. All other sites on my computer run fine.

Is it just me or has the forum been slow the past few days? Every time I click 'Unread Content' or try to open a new thread, it takes like 10-30 seconds. Feels like I'm on dial-up or something.

Looks cool, Debbie! I can almost hear that slide guitar from 'In My Time of Dying' after looking at that first pic!

Yikes. On that same note, I always found the idea of a fairy who wanted my loose teeth a bit odd, even as a kid.

Yes, an awesome show, one of my favs. As Long as I Have You is essential.

I remember reading that Jonesy also took inspiration from Muddy Waters 'Electric Mud' album, although it was later revealed that he actually meant Howlin' Wolfs 'This is Howlin' Wolf's New Album'. The second point of misinformation about “Black Dog” is that the riff was inspired by Muddy Waters’ 1968 album Electric Mud. Keith Shadwick in Led Zeppelin: 1968-1980 and Andy Fyfe in When the Levee Breaks: The Making of Led Zeppelin IV both repeat this erroneous detail. In the December, 2007, issue of Mojo, however, John Paul Jones states that he wrote the main riff for “Black Dog” after listening to This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album. That authors of such definitive books about Led Zeppelin repeated this misinformation is understandable, as it was John Paul Jones himself who for years had misstated the origins of the “Black Dog” riff in interviews. As Steve Sauer explains, John Paul Jones had confusedElectric Mud and This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album, but didn’t realize his mistake until Sauer tracked him down with a copy of This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album in his hand. After listening to both albums closely Sauer realized that it was “Smokestack Lightning” from This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album that had inspired “Black Dog.” It’s not all that surprising that John Paul Jones mixed up Electric Mudand This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album. Both albums were late-1960s attempts to “update” the sound of these blues artists by incorporating more psychedelic instrumentation. While both albums have interesting tracks to recommend them, you can tell that neither artist’s heart was completely into this new sound. In fact, Howlin’ Wolf’s album explicitly stated the artist’s disdain for the record on the cover. This Is Howlin’ Wolf’s New Album also contains spoken interludes where Howlin’ Wolf explains why he doesn’t like his new album. One of his complaints was that electric guitars make “queer sounds.” But John Paul Jones listened closely to “Smokestack Lightning” and was inspired by what he heard. In the December, 2007, issue of Mojo, John Paul Jones told Mat Snow that the track had “a blues lick that went round and round and didn’t end when you thought it was going to.” Using that approach he developed the riff for “Black Dog,” stretching out the pattern over several measures and incorporating time signature changes, which has made this one of the most difficult songs to cover by the Hampton String Quartet, a chamber group that covers rock songs, as reported by Andy Fyfe in When the Levee Breaks: The Making of Led Zeppelin IV. http://turnmeondeadman.com/led-zeppelin-plagiarism-black-dog/ http://www.ledzeppelinnews.com/2007/09/correct-bassline-that-inspired-dog.html ^Which Zep also used for the intro to 'Killing Floor/The Lemon Song' in concerts.

Yep, a great one. Love the Page/Black Crowes version, too.

Led Zeppelin-Immigrant Song Hammer of the Gods, Will drive our ship to new land, To fight the whore, and sing and cry.

Word on the street is that it was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well', which also has that similar structure.
