Wow - first play since 2005, and long overdue!

On the vinyl and on a good system the acoustic guitars aren't at all blurry and actually are razor sharp. Nicely done, I think.

Vocal control? Where? The lyrics are depressing in a nonsensical way - the guitars are droning (and there are too many of them- makes for a blurry arrangement.) Vocal control {we don' need no stinkin' vocal control...}
crazy talk...

plants voice is still powerful. pages guitar playing is missing something. its lost its power. has he gone deaf? i saw the zeppelin reunion for atlantic records 40th anniversary, and i can tell you page was hollow.sad.

It is always easier to criticize than to create. Be sure to let us all know when you create your masterpiece...

Plant is one a few rare rock vocalists that sounds just about as good now as he did back in the day.
I agree. But it took a lot of years after he packed up the smokes for his control and power to return. Are you listening, Bono? This Page/Plant effort shows how, for a musician, it's a life-defining passion-- It has nothing to do with passing fashion or styles. It's always sad when "music fans" don't get that. I've never, ever heard, for instance, a musician of any age comment negatively about how old Mick & Keith are. But 30-and-40-somethings non-musicians seem obsessed with it.

On my vinyl copy of this the drums are there - but I think the guitars on this song are so delicate and fast that a plodding drummer like Bonham would have just slowed it down. There, I said it, Bonham was a plodding drummer. :fight.gif:

This track has always lacked Bonham - there isn't usually any drum kit in it. A tambourine is all it needs.. The best version of this tune is in How The West Was Won, I reckon. This one just lacks too much.
I sat here for five minutes trying to figure it out, and you kicked the nail in. Someone said they sound like street minstrals, and that's just about right. Didn't these guys used to be, y'know, EPIC?

This playlist - Back to the Island, River of Love, That's the Way - is making me miss everyone I've ever met. Bill are you trying to tell us something?

Hey this is really cool, and one of the rare ones that I think is actually better than the origina. But one question: why is Celine Deion showing up in the links?

I personally like the idea of street minstrels including a drum kit! I am all over that one, fo' sho'. I love this song. You know these guys could rock with only three instruments - that's why Bonham had to play the way he did.

I wish I were more like Page. He rules. btw, you notice the Celine Deon bs for the album on this. that is funny

I agree buddy !!

as for those few nonbelievers who find this song "less" than the original ... get over it.
Agreed as well

I liked much of early Led Zep, but now I like them more than ever. This is among the songs I missed first time around. Great to hear it in any version. Agree on the 12-string, too. It's a challenge to play, but when it's done right........

The 12-string sounds fucking killer right here. I play 12-string myself, so perhaps I'm prejudiced, but to me there's no instrument that sounds as sweet as an acoustic 12-string guitar. I'm glad to hear those two together again, ripping out a fine rendition of the old tune. Maybe I don't love it quite like I love the original, but really, how are you supposed to compete with one of the most perfectly produced albums in history? Just because it was perfect before doesn't mean there's nothing left to get out of redoing a tune-- much like the way I don't mind Clapton's Unplugged version of Layla-- it's previous perfection just makes you work a little harder to get creative gold out of a tune. I think this one has a little somethin there.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GET OLD AND NOT RETIRE?? THAT WAS SUCH A FABULOUS SONG, WHY RUIN IT? WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?!?

Yeah. The drums sound, well, small.

:-s It's OK, I suppose, but it REALLY disappoints when Plant doesn't belt out the "Mamma told me" in the chorus line per the original -- to me, that's what made it so special. This song comes off as little more than an attempt by P&P to generate more royalties.

Love this Tune. Zep III was always my favorite.

Perhaps one of the best-known B-sides, no? Not crazy about this rework, however...much prefer the original. :(

Page and Plant both masters. I started to really like robert plant when I heard some of his solo stuff. In particular \"Ship of Fools\". :D :D
