Dancing days Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi all first post Always regarded these two tracks contained two of Jimmy's best solos. Any ideas why they were never played live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June72 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 TFO was played in snippets in SIBLY in '77. I'm Gonna Crawl would've been a great inclusion on the EU '80 tour, and we don't know what the NA '80 Tour had in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing days Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Yeah would of been interesting to see what the NA 80 set list looked like. Would it have been similar to EU concerts or included more numbers from ITTOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnOsbourne Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 FWIW a snippet of TFO was played at the final Earl's Court night, right before Tangerine. (And I fully agree, TFO is a truly great song.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby_Dick_Ale Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 October 2011 I saw Joe Bonamassa play at Carré, Amsterdam and I especially remember that concert for the astonishing version of "Tea For One". So I heard it once live in its entirety which was really cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmtomh Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 While it wasn't Zep, Tea for One was played at a couple of the 1996 Page & Plant Japan shows. There are great-sounding tapes and the performances are very good., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram4 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I have the feeling that Tea For One wasn't played because SIBLY was so great in the movie which came out after Presence. Tea For One is mostly the same musically as SIBLY (both in C Aeolian Minor) so you wouldn't have needed both in the set. For a fresh new song I think it should have been given a chance in 1977. Maybe they felt it was a little too dark, too slow, too long. And let's face it - SIBLY is a classic song while Tea For One is not. As far as I'm Gonna Crawl goes - great song with an interesting chord progression throughout. I have no idea why they didn't at least attempt it in 1979-80. To this day it's still missing in action.

I hear ya, this is, IMO, Plant's best vocal performance on record since Zep IV and in his top five overall vocal performances. Plus, Jimmy plays his best blues solo on record in this song. Why Zep did not perform this, instead of SIBLY during 79'-80' shows is a pity, a missed opportunity, and a right damn shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
