BIGDAN Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Here it goes: http://www.gibson.co...02/Default.aspx Hi zepphead, Was there ever really any choice here? Led Zeppelin's version wins by a mile in my book, which is coming out by the way this summer by Ladybird Books. Regards, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djzoso Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) only joking Zep's version is way better Edited June 3, 2010 by djzoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppphead Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi "BIGDAN" and "djzoso". LOL, yeah I agree, but I just love Rod's vocals. Zep's (both studio and live filmore) version is far better, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Both versions are great. I think that's why I love the version Page did with the Black Crowes. It gives you an idea of what Zep might have sounded like with Rod Stewart or Steve Marriott in the band instead of Plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 JBG was awesome. Too bad they didn't last longer. I never knew till recently that they were supposed to play at Woodstock but Jeff broke them up right before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarmy Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 It's really just too close to call. Both versions are sick and make me do a happy dance. After I heard the JBG version, I was thinking "ok how can they top that?". Of course I've listened to the Zeppelin version many more times, which may be swaying my judgment as I think I've generally grown tired of 'You Shook Me'. And despite my penchant for bootlegs, I don't think I've heard this live version and was very pleased. I'll give it Zeppelin by a hair. But the JBG really kicks ass. Go buy Truth and you won't be let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black-Dog Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Zeps version is better. But i like the Greek version from 1999 most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgio Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Story has it that Jeff Beck was pretty pissed off when he heard that Jimmy and the boys had done it - now which biography did I read that in? Hammer of the Gods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Of Sandwich Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Seems like they used an aweful LZ version, I'd say becks version, out of those two, is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Also on the Gibson site, an audio interview with Lord Page from 1977 by one Steven Rosen: http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/jimmy-page-0625/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 "Jimmy Page claimed he was unaware, at the time, that Beck had already mined that territory." Well at least I got my laugh of the day over that quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) The original Zep studio version is IMHO a masterpeice of production, lost a bit of the magic live for me the same way Levee did. Strangely I Can't Quit You Babe is exactly the opposite for me, much better live. Never understood what all the fuss was about from Beck, the two versions are about as different as its possible for electric blues covers in that era to be. Its not as if Page aped Beck's cover and tried to outdo him in soloing is it? Edited July 2, 2010 by greenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
