400 – Led Zeppelin – Travelling Riverside Blues
March 30, 2011

I love this Led Zeppelin version of the classic Robert Johnson song Travelling Riverside Blues.
Great slide playing and Plant is relatively quiet 😉
This song was rereleased in 1990, and even reached #7 in the USA.

386 - Led Zeppelin - Rain Song

I listen mostly to the first 4 [[Led Zeppelin]] albums, but this one has a really exceptionally good guitar part throughout.

Song with sleeve.

385 - Led Zeppelin - You Shook Me

Off [[Led Zeppelin I]] this remains one of the few songs I can play on slide guitar. I listened to this record a million times, so it had to be on this site. I don’t play this that much anymore, but I know it by heart. And what a drummer [[John Bonham]] is here.

Song with sleeve.
First version in 1968.
Live in 1969.

336 - Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Epic rock by [[Led Zeppelin]], though I always ask myself if it is really ‘love’ he wants.

Studio version.
Live 1973, Song Remains The Same version.

272 – Led Zeppelin – How Many More Times

272 - Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times

I was a huge [[Led Zeppelin]] fan after I discovered them in the early nineties. Since then my taste changed a bit; I cannot stand the hysterical screaming of [[Robert Plant]], and some of the ‘soloing’ of [[Jimmy Page]] makes me cringe. That said, on their first 4 albums it was a super tight band. [[How Many More Times]] has a great bass line; every time I rehearse with a band and play bass, some time or another I’ll play it.

Here you can listen to the song whilst and at the same time looking at the sleeve.

199 - Led Zeppelin - The Lemon Song

[[John Paul Jones]]’ bass line in [[The Lemon Song]] is so great… normally I don’t like solistic bass playing, but here it carries the whole song. And [[John Bonham]]’s drumming is top notch as well of course.

Youtube – studio version with slideshow.

123 - Led Zeppelin - No Quarter

This [[Led Zeppelin]] song wants to be posted, ’cause it’s been playing in my head the last two days.

102 – Led Zeppelin – Since I been loving you
May 17, 2008

102 - Led Zeppelin - Since I been loving you

One of the best rhythm sections ever, a highly inventive guitar player, and a screaming frontman. This is off [[Led Zeppelin III]] which was mostly kind of a break away of [[Led Zeppelin]]’s first blues influenced records. Listen closely to the start of this song to catch John Bonham’s squeaky pedal!

Youtube – studioversion with squeaky pedal (fanvid).

Youtube – live in 1973.

Youtube – live in 2007 (camphone, barely listenable).
