jabe Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Admittedly, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are neck to neck as my favorite bands. There is no close second. I've been on a huge Beatles kick of late and got to thinking what Zepp renditions of Beatles tunes might float my boat. The first three that popped into my mushy skull: When I Get Home Come Together Oh! Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 An obvious thought would be hearing Page wailing the "Helter Skelter" riff, that would have been an awesome rendition. Even "Here Comes The Sun" would have been very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetleron Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 pretty sure they did a bit of "i saw her standing there" on on early show..........didn't they?.....do believe i have it (and i'm sure it's out there) my fave was always the version of "for your love" they played at the Boston tea party show...........always loved it (yes.....i know.......not a beatles tune) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe they play Some Other Guy in the Whole Lotta Love Medley from the same bootleg/concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDog71 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think I would love to hear "Helter Skelter", "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and "Get Back" would be interesting to me. I'd like to hear Zeppelin do their thing with those Beatles songs. Interesting topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSeven Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 While is would be interesting to hear. Both bands had different styles. I Beatles came off to me as more sappy and love orientated. Zep were more sexual in their lyrics. Nothing wrong with that. The Beatles had more purity to their image. Like the guys you could take home to mom if you were a girl. Zep would get with your mom if she was hot. The Beatles were more melodic and Zep was more Groove orienated. When I think of the Beatles. I think of their vocal harmonies. Zep I think of the Guitar/Bass/Drum riffs with Robert wailing around it. The Beatles were never going to extend their Jams. I want you/Shes so Heavy is more Zeppelin in their approach. While Going to California is more Beatles in their approach. Mc7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSo1960 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 After giving this some thought the following songs would be fun to hear by Zep. In My Life Drive My Car Revolution Get Back Come Together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef free Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 She Said, She Said played a little faster, Everybody's Got Something to Hide cuz Jonesy could handle the bass line, Robert could rock Yer Blues, One After 909 for the "old days" Rock n' Roll and Tax Man cuz Page would SHRED that solo!

Stryder1978 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 My first thought was "Helter Skelter" or "Come Together".....but now I think "Rain" would be an excellent song to hear them play - and give Jonesy a chance to whale away on some bass runs!

dazedcat Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Dear Prudence or I'm So Tired Actually a Zeppelin version of the entire White Album would have been a very interesting listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croquet'n'cocaine Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I reckon Zep could have done a total killer version of Hey Bulldog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmtomh Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Also, they did: - "Money" (Seattle June 19, 1972; and Frankfurt June 30, 1980) - 1:45-minute bits of "Some other Guy" (various shows between Sep 4 and 19, 1970) - a 1:45 bit of "Slow Down" (The Forum, June 25, 1972) The "Twist and Shout" bit was relatively long (just over 2 mins) and was at the famous Osaka 9-29-71 show, in the WLL medley. They also did numerous snippets of other Beatles songs, ranging from a few seconds to about 30 seconds, mostly (but not only) in WLL medleys.

joe (Liverpool) Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It would have been interesting if they had covered some Beatle tracks,e.g. "The End", Bonzo could have showed Ringo how drums were meant to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Personally I hate the Beatles. I really don't like ANY of their songs. Really it's a Lennon thing since I can listen to any of the other three post-Beatles and actually like some George Harrison stuff (And I'm not here to debate that I just say it to give some context for my next statement). Anyways, I've thought for awhile that the song Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is so close to being something I could get into if only the right person covered it. Maybe Led Zeppelin could have made it awesome since I like all of their songs. Jimi Hendrix got really close but I still think his version still comes up just a little short.

DAS Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 BTW Jimmy Page played guitar for the cover With A Little Help From My Friends for Joe Cocker. That half counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
