SteveAJones Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 i really love the song wonderful one. anyone know when and where this was first performed/recorded? thankyou. In February 1994 Jimmy & Robert began rehearsing at Depot Studios near Kings Cross, London using a series of drum loops provided by Martin Meissonnier as backing tracks. The demo for 'Wonderful One' was done at RAK Recording Studios in St. John's Wood, London. It was first performed live in August 1994 at the London Television Centre for the MTV 'Unledded' telecast which premiered in the USA on October 12, 1994.

Page/Plant) – 4:09"Four Sticks" – 4:52"Kashmir" (Page/Plant/Bonham) – 12:27In international releases, "Wah Wah" was included before "That's the Way". 2004 Reissue For the tenth anniversary, the album was re-released with a different cover and the following tracklist: "<A class=mw-redirect title="Nobody's Fault But Mine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobody%27s_Fault_But_Mine">Nobody's Fault But Mine" – 4:06"No Quarter" (Jones/Page/Plant) – 3:45"Friends" – 4:37"The Truth Explodes" (formerly known as "Yallah") (Page/Plant) -4:59"The Rain Song" – 7:29"City Don't Cry" – 6:08"Since I've Been Loving You" (Jones/Page/Plant) – 7:29"Battle of Evermore" – 6:41"Wonderful One" – 4:57"That's the Way" – 5:35"Wah Wah" – 3:59"Gallows Pole" (Traditional arr.

SteveAJones Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 steve, this link says that it wasnt written by page and plant. is that correct? Please disregard the Wikipedia link, it is referring to a different song of the same title. Rest assured the 'Wonderful One' we have been discussing here was indeed written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in Spring 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Why do people even bother with wikipedia? As a quick reference for singular facts, figures and dates it's generally useful. However, it is generally unreliable for anything beyond this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swandown Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 It should be noted that the version released on the No Quarter/Unledded CD is not from the August 1994 concerts. It's actually a studio recording from November 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
