Swan Song - the song?

[Krish]

Maybe this has been discussed already or perhaps this belongs in Steve's Zeppelin Mystereies thread, but do we have any information on the unreleased 20-minute 'Swan Song' that contains amazing acoustic guitars and strange Plant vocals?

Hey Krish, check this address if it´s help you (us) anyhow?

Song in this address is not even close to 20 min, but it´s name is Swan Song

It became "Midnight Moonlight" on The Firm's first album after Jimmy got tired of waiting for Robert to come up with the lyrics for what was going to be their 'ultimate' song.

But in the book Led Zeppelin 1968-1980 there's a passage that says the song is 20 minutes with strange Plant vocals and lots of acoustic guitars.

There is a 20 minute rough demo. It can be found on the "Brutal Artistry" boot.

1. Jimmy's home demos from c. 1973 are about 60 minutes in length

2. There's a Page/Jones/Bonham instrumental from c. 1974 that runs about 5 minutes

3. The proposed 20-minute Zep version (with "sparse" vocals from Plant) has never surfaced -- if it was ever recorded.

4. The song basically became "Midnight Moonlight" by The Firm
