sailor86 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Does anyone know who does the backing vocals near the end of "Gallows Pole". I don't know why, but I envision John Bonham's face with the voice(s). Perhaps it was all three without Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor86 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 [Thanks. They're pretty well in unison. I'm impressed. I wouldn't figure any of them to have any vocal ability at all. I assume that's the case for the outro to "Communication Breakdown" as well. By the way, how'd you come across your information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I believe those three are credited with backing vocals on the album but I've just listened to Gallows Pole and it sounds to me like just Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 A traditional song which stems from Lead Belly. I first found it by Fred Gerlac. He was one of the first white people on Folkways records to get involved in Lead Belly. We have completely rearranged it and changed the verse. Robert wrote a set of new lyrics. That's John Paul on mandolin and bass and I'm playing the banjo, six-string acoustic, 12-string and electric guitar. The bloke swinging on the gallows pole is saying wait for his relatives to arrive. The drumming builds nicely. - Jimmy Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyHeyWhatCanIDo Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I don't know who does the backing vocals, but I love that part and I love that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyrizla Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Does anyone know who does the backing vocals near the end of "Gallows Pole". I don't know why, but I envision John Bonham's face with the voice(s). Perhaps it was all three without Robert. I think Bonham did back up the vocals on it. I'm not 100% though. Gallows pole was one of the first songs I learned fully on guitar. That was when I was 8 years old and it still is one of my favourite songs.

sailor86 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 he does have a very distinct voice But not what I'd call appealing. What was the name of that song he released not too long ago. Something like "I'm angry". I'm sure it was very therapeutic for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
