Strider Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This is a mess. A terrible hodgepodge with no flow and makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Lees Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I don't think Zeppelin II can be re-sequenced and improved at the same time. It is perfect as is. But Zeppelin three, I could imagine putting Hey Hey What Can I Do after SIBLY at the end of side one, getting rid of Hats Off to Roy Harper and replacing it with OOTT end of side two. Side One: Immigrant Song Friends Celebration Day Since I've Been Loving You Hey Hey What Can I do Side Two: Gallow's Pole Tangerine That's The Way Bron-Y-aur Stomp Out On The Tiles I like having a heavy tune at the end of side two for a little more balance. It's kind of a reward for patiently sitting through the "acoustic set". I think Hats Off is a boring song and I love the blues. It's just that with all that effect on Plant's vocals it becomes a mess and for me it's hard to listen to. If they wanted to insist on playing some real blues, a good song they recorded at that time was an acoustic version of Key to the Highway. That would have been a better choice to my ears. However, I think Hey Hey What Can I Do has lasted the test of time. It's still popular and people love it. I think it's a much stronger choice than Hats Off for the third album. And for Zeppelin II, the only way I can see an improvement at all is to maybe replace Moby Dick with The Girl I Love She's Got Long Black Wavy Hair. I think that would have been pretty good.

I sequence it this way now as my brain needs this order.... I had one of those, I got to prefer it to the LP version. The first album also has a different running order on some cassette releases. A1 Your Time Is Gonna Come A2 Babe I'm Gonna Leave You A3 Black Mountain Side A4 Dazed And Confused B1 Good Times Bad Times B2 You Shook Me B3 Communication Breakdown B4 I Can't Quit You Baby B5 How Many More Times If I remember correctly HMMT was shortened.
