      The original version was slowed down to make it sound different, they recreate it at normal time.

      Yeah , I'd read where Bonham set up the drums at the bottom of stairs so they'd have a slight echo as well as the playback was slowed to get the same effect.

      All very talented. A buddy and me stumbled on to seeing Zepparella at a venue next door from an Arc Angels Reunion show back in 2009 or so. We were blown away by the band. They absolutely nailed all the Zep tunes. Very accomplished musicians. From her website. Gretchen Menn has studied music in college and "has studied, in equal parts, the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jimmy Page. (Regarding the latter composer, she performs the music of Led Zeppelin all over the U.S. with Zepparella. It was under the tutelage of classical guitarist Phillip de Fremery, a student of Andrés Segovia, that Gretchen began her path on the instrument. Her father, noted writer and former editor-in-chief of Guitar Player Magazine, Don Menn, was quick to point her in the direction of the greats as soon as she expressed interest in guitar."

My greatest fear is the kick-ass music I grew up with will not be picked up by the next generation of musicians and passed on to future music lovers. Considering the state of contemporary music, my fears are well founded. But these BABES and their obvious love for Led Zepp are BAD ASS and reassure me the next generation is not entirely lost. I can sleep well tonight. Bless’um all!!!!!

      +bluesharp59 It's even more impressive when you know that Anna Kristina learned the harmonica expressly to be able to perform this song.

    I have zero idea why some people think this group is supposed to BE Led Zeppelin. They're doing a cover and one fine job of it.

    These Ladies Rock Zeppelin Classic. If Plant, Page, Paul Jones and John's son "Jason" saw this, The real legends of rock will salute them. Awesome Job.
