Prouddaddy1980 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Ok so I keep hearing a version of Black Dog played on a local station here in SoCal but I cannot find it anywhere and its driving me ABSOLUTLEY CRAZY!! It pretty much sound like the normal studio take we all know but the whole recording sounds slightly less refined with Plants vocals having a bit more echo to them... and the the outro solo was basically an "Extended" version of the classic solo. One of the DJ's mentioned something about a BBC Session..?? However this is not a live version just a "alernative take" and to be clear, this is not the version that was released in 2014 with the overdubs.... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP Edited June 23, 2021 by Prouddaddy1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zep Hed Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm gonna guess BBC Paris Theatre April 1, 1971. That's the one that may sound like a studio outtake albeit with a small audience in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ's often stop the tracks from the 1971 BBC Sessions before the applause comes in, so someone may accidentally think it is a studio outtake.

Prouddaddy1980 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 That version is on the BBC sessions and is not the one I am referring to. That BBC sesh definitely sounds like a live recording. The one I am looking for sounds pretty much identical to the original track on LZ 4. Really I've looked up and down Youtube and have yet to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prouddaddy1980 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) So to clarify... I have listened to the verision on the IV Deluxe Edition which is the "Basic Track.." version. So in this particular version the delay is the same (the same to the elusive track I'm looking for). You can hear that the delay drags out a bit more in this one... However its missing the outro solo. The particular version of the solo starts out the same however it continues off with an alternate riff... Really though the thing to remember is when that song starts out you swore you were listening to the original version... lest scrutinizing ears would really know until the outro solo... To get really nerdy, the solo starts off with Page doing the riff that climbs the neck that repeats like 3 times. In the normal studio version he comes back to this riff at about 4:30 time mark. In this elusive version the riff he is playing at about the 4:22 mark just continues on with a completely different ending... I can literally hear it in my head... I NEED Help Oh yea, and it kinda sounds like its mono..?? Edited June 25, 2021 by Prouddaddy1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummingbird69 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 My guess, Headley Grange rehearsals? Track time 5:08 Starts off just like the studio version but has different soloing at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
