xzar_monty Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Was never a fan of Led Zeppelin live as Jimmy Page tended to be much too casual and loose for my taste, but bloody hell this is good. I'd be willing to bet that the galloping bassline here was a major inspiration for Steve Harris and Iron Maiden in general. 5

I agree it's underrated. Nobody's Fault But Mine is an excellent song. Like Black Dog, it's one of those where good interplay is essential, as it's stop-start almost all the way. I haven't played Nobody's Fault But Mine but I have played Black Dog, on the drums, on stage, and it's good fun. Also quite hard to get right because of its stop-start nature. Much harder than just listening to it would suggest. Incidentally, have you seen this? I think it's quite disappointing. Apparently, the first Led Zeppelin album only contains one song that they wrote themselves (Good Times Bad Times). All the rest are at least very heavily influenced by other songs, if not outright plagiarized from original sources. 1 1
Gromnir Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 yeah, we were aware o' the plagiarism accusations. had a university roommate who raged 'bout such frequent... keep in mid our university were late 80s. am thinking such criticisms is justified. the thing is, we were introduced to zeppelin via their blues stuff and for a number o' years we viewed zeppelin in the context o' being perhaps the whitest blues cover band evar (although the stones are serious challengers to the title,) so learning their other stuff were no more original perhaps bothered us a bit less than it shoulda'.

kanisatha Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Just LOVE When the Levee Breaks. I also always felt Led Zeppelin's greatness was fusing blues to hard rock.
