    Amazing. Not only does he successfully handle a difficult Robert Plant vocal and put his own spin on it but he returns the Led Zeppelin adaption to its roots while keeping ALL of what made Zep's version great. 10/10. Outstanding.

      This song was one of the most experimental studio recordigs Jimmy page and the band ever did.. from the drum sound and recording in a stairwell to the harmonica and guitar in some parts is played forwards and backwards at the same time… this song is «impossible» to play live the same as led zeps studio version… thats why there is no official live version any where…. Jimmy page is very select in the quality of every relase… this is a super live version…
