Agree that it'd be a great use of Page's talents, but is Jimmy Page the type of guy to take on projects because they'd be interesting to him and artistically rewarding, but ultimately be "minor"? Legitimately asking; I know way less about Zep than most people here.

Yeah he won't do it... Esp as an instrumental record

Not that he was ever Richard Thompson but who knows if he has even kept up his chops?2xpost

Plant is the only boomer with an unembarrassing and often surprising solo career.
He's very cool and principled these days. But that wasn't always the case…

Jimmy Page raps on that track. Add that to his list of accomplishments.

I need to admit something: I have never heard it. Clearly, this must be remedied.

Man, I totally forgot both Toni Halliday and Kirsty MacColl sing on "Now and Zen."

one of the unreleased instrumentals "La La" to be included on the LZ II expanded edition

pretty groovy - yeah, dead ringer for the who in a few parts (and then not so much as the song goes on). this has never been bootlegged?

You know, I have some 11-disc set of outtakes. It'll be amazing if this stuff goes beyond that.

great song! it's like a Led Zep demo reel of all the cool shit they can do.

the bass drum fill at 3:13 on that new outtake

I didn't get a Who vibe initially, but wow, it's a total dead ringer for "Overture."

Love that. Fucking genius.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the instrumental is terrible. Led Zeppelin's best stuff is timeless, because they created an entirely new sound. This thing, on the other hand, screams "1969." That fucking organ, are you kidding me? If this is what's gonna be on the deluxe reissues, I'm gonna stick with my 1994 box.

the first theme is very rotten then it gets into classic territory!

I like the cheesy triumphant vintage wheaties commercial theme at the beginning!

I can't imagine anything in the world that would enrage Jimmy Page more than being forced to add "inspired by Pete Townshend" to a writing credit.

Maybe they just thought "Overture" was a traditional tune and added their stamp?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 30 May 2014 18:08 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I mean "overture" wasn't that originally a Mozart joint? That shit was over 200 yrs ago so surely public domain by now, I mean really

You know what's really good? Plant's "Mighty Rearranger." I saw him on the band/tour opening (sort of) for Pearl Jam at a benefit, and he and PJ played "Fool in the Rain" for apparently the first time ever.

I don't know if I can bear to listen to Vedder's hacks stumble all over that saunter of a tune with their two left feet…
― veronica moser, Saturday, 31 May 2014 16:13 (nine years ago) link
ah they sound OK, but despite his posturing otherwise, Vedder's inert singing shows he's got a clear channel soul

plant sounds great though.

"whether it was YES or whoever . . . that's great, because you're passing it on"
