boogie woogie Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) There have been various cds featuring artists and songs that helped to provide the roots of Zeppelin. I thought we could put a collection together here. This is meant out of respect to the artists who came before. I do not own this music. This is intended to be a celebration of the music. Here's a couple... Otis Rush, I Can't Quit You Babe Rtichie Valens, Ooh My Head Edited October 10, 2011 by boogie woogie Quote

SuperDave Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I Can't Quit You Baby is very similar to Zep's studio version, although the band really changes it on the live versions. Especially, in the early tour dates of 1970. Some of their best performances ever on any song in their career! Rosie and the Originals is just a tribute on the liner notes of The Crunge on Houses. The opening drum solo of Little Richard's song is a bit similar, but not exact. Certainly an influence there, but not stolen for sure. Edited October 11, 2011 by SuperDave Quote

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) This thread reminds me of that really cool documentary that I watched a couple of months ago, going by the same name! Thanks to that documentary, I literally fell in love with the blues! Here is a song which I think belongs in this thread. It is called "Dog Me Around" by the legendary Howlin' Wolf! The song "How Many More Times" does kind of remind me of this song for some reason! Maybe, I'm wrong, but what the heck! It's a cool tune, nevertheless!

boogie woogie Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) i like the way Strange Sensation went back to Leadbelly for their take on the intro This one has a lot of history... I've enjoyed Plant's introductions of this song on the P/P tour. ...on widipedia apparetnly the lyrical theme of a maid pleading with the hangman for a bribe (gold) is an old folk theme. Also, it says the reference to "gold" may not mean actual gold for a bribe, but may instead stand for the symbolic restoration of the maid's honor, perhaps by proof of her innocence or fidelity.

MrZoSo Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 The opening drum solo of Little Richard's song is a bit similar, but not exact. Certainly an influence there, but not stolen for sure. Complete lift, but it's an honest homage to a classic. Quote
boogie woogie Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 Complete lift, but it's an honest homage to a classic. I also think of it as an homage... a real tasteful Bonzo tip of the hat... Quote
dazedcat Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Complete lift. It makes sense though seeing as it was for "Rock n Roll". Clever actually. Quote
