Melissa Amber Layton Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 "Boogie with Stu" is a boogie woogie acoustic Led Zeppelin song with both boogie woogie piano and mandolin which it was recorded in 1970 from a Led Zeppelin IV outtake during the 1970-1971 period. Quote
woz70 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 A quite shocking and indisputable statement of hard facts. However, all of these things are common knowledge amongst this community which consists, pretty much exclusively, of fans and followers of Led Zeppelin. Which poses this simple question: what is the purpose of this thread? Quote
SteveAJones Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Stu is a reference to Ian Stewart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogie_with_Stu Quote
reswati Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Heavily based on this song: (In fact so heavily based that Zeppelin got sued) Quote

So, if they gave her the co-writing credit, why did she sue? Quote

Valens's publisher, Kemo Music, filed suit for copyright infringement and an out of court settlement was reached. As Page explained: What we tried to do was give Ritchie's mother credit, because we heard she never received any royalties from any of her son's hits, and Robert did lean on that lyric a bit. So what happens? They tried to sue us for all of the song! Quote

That is some serious bullshit there. Quote
Jimmywalnutz Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Love the drums on Boogie With Stu. I think Bonzo could have played that all day long even while asleep. I have always wished they would have incorporated in to the acoustic set with Bonzo playing the tabla. Or even a verse or two, ala BCW and Dancing Days. I'm trying to think if I have a live version. Does one even exist in listenable quality? Quote
juxtiphi Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 There are no live versions of Boogie With Stu. The only alternate takes are found on stuff like Tangible Vandalism, Studio Magik and Ultimate studio sessions and one on the new releases as an alternate take. Quote

Jimmywalnutz Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Thank you for the info. I am not a musician by any stretch. On Zep 1, I thought Bonzo played the Tabla but was mistaken. It was a session player. Quote
