mightyzep247 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) A lot of people compare SIBLY and TFO I've noticed and I was wondering which one you prefer? This is judging by studio versions, btw, since TFO was never played live. I'm gonna have to go with Tea For One. Opinions?

This is judging by studio versions, btw, since TFO was never played live. I'm gonna have to go with Tea For One. Opinions? The early live day's of SIBLY were unbelievable. Page's tone and playing in 71 espescially, was undescribable ! Tea For One is a brilliant song but equates a different kind of feel for me. Never had the priviledge of hearing it live in person but none the less, it's on my IPod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 TFO ffor me, never been big on SIBLY. The SIBLY vox get a little out there for me, especially live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I love both SIBLY and Tea For One, so it's a difficult choice. SIBLY represents early Zep when they were more rooted in the blues, and Tea For One is a more mature Zep getting back to their blues roots. I think that I will agree with you and choose Tea For One because of the blues drum rolls and cymbals and the guitar solo, not to mention the lyrics and Robert's singing.

ally Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 TFO ffor me, never been big on SIBLY. The SIBLY vox get a little out there for me, especially live. It did on many occations danelectro . I'm going on what I saw and heard in 71 . Many of the boots out there don't do the song justice and I must admit, without a good strong Plant vocal, it does fall a bit flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chus Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 SIBLY is a story and every time that I hear this song my heart is pumping inside of me and my brain collapse for all the images from a early yesterday....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 SIBLY...it's my favorite Led Zeppelin song (together with "Kashmir"...both in first place because I can't decide which one I love more...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabbalahone Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I don't think I'd be able to choose between those. They are both very sentimental to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The early live day's of SIBLY were unbelievable. Page's tone and playing in 71 espescially, was undescribable ! Tea For One is a brilliant song but equates a different kind of feel for me. Never had the priviledge of hearing it live in person but none the less, it's on my IPod Indeed they were! As you say, Jimmy's playing on SIBLY in '71 - and I would also say '72 - are indescribable and the boots don't do it justice. Actually, when I think about the live performances of SIBLY that I saw during the early '70s, I'm almost overcome with emotion - they were that beautiful. Tea for One is an incredible song but, for me, it's hard for me to compare it to SIBLY because I will always think of those concerts first.

Rock Action Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 They're both masterpieces. But I'm going with the latter on this one, barely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real stand out number that made the hair on my neck stand up. I remember at the 71 concert everyboby was completely silent for that cut. Jimmy was magical, and Bonzo's playing and sound would have made my mother want to become a drummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustle In My Hedgerow Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's hard for me to answer that question because while both songs share a common chord structure and bluesy feeling they each have their own grooves. SIBLY is unique in its own right just as TFO is. That being said, I personally prefer SIBLY but that's because the meaning of SIBLY resonates more with me than that of TFO. They're both amazing songs, though... brilliant when you consider that they started out with a similar chordal structure and evolved from there into very different songs.

MisterMcLov1n Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Tea For One here. It has a much more mature and lonely feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 SIBLY due to the enormous emotion put into the vocals and the involvement of each and every member. Just another classic in the Zeppelin catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maven2blue Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Tea for One. They caress each note in the song making it sexier than other Zep songs, to me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Jam Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 SIBLY by far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Sometimes Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 SIBLY is actually my favorite LZ song. I prefer the live version from TSRTS. That opening riff just gets me every time. TFO is right up there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulo0801 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A thousand times SIBLY. I love Tea for One but Since I've Been Loving You is my favorite song ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy2Howard Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 They're both in Cminor.. and structured similarly. I prefer SIBLY though, tbh. But I still love TFO for its intensity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hard choice, but I'd say 'Tea For One'. Hauntingly beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanelectroGod Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Tea for one. I love both, just feel more connected to Tea For One on a personal level...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
