and better than most of the garbage released these days. Here is your LZ3 fix to kick off this Celebation Day!!!
Probably one of Jimmy Page's best guitar solos
Happy Birthday Led Zeppelin III, you may be 45 years old but I'll still rock out with you any day of the week because even today your album sounds awesome. Here's the proof...

(12,132 posts)It's such a happy guitar solo. Short and sweet and lifts me up every time I hear it.
Whenever I listen to a new bootleg, the first thing I go for is SIBLY. The quality of the SIBLY determines how much I like that particular recording.
Tangerine is my favorite citrus fruit, my favorite LifeSavers flavor and, predictably, one of my favorite songs. I've been known to buy things JUST because they were tangerine colored (As opposed to orange).

(1,558 posts)I think it was '72, Madison Square Garden. I agree that "Since I've Been Loving You" is one of Page's best solos. LZ III might be my favorite LZ album.

They said they were in line for the previous Cap Center show, but it had sold out. Luckily, they added another date in D.C.

(95,337 posts)i think he played the wrong album in the movie but it wasn't IV.
Anyhow best make out song is The Rain Song. Trust me I'm a girl and I know these things. And to think I stood about 15-20 feet from Robert Plant not one but TWO nights in a row when he sang that song less than a month ago *sigh*
He was such a fuck-up he couldn't even get that right. Incidentally it was Kashmir in the movie but it was not included on the soundtrack.

(95,337 posts)Jimmy Page is pretty protective of his music.
I think the only time they licensed it out for anything was when they let Cadillac to use 'Rock and Roll' and that's only because the band members were big fans of Cadillacs (really? go figure).
They will, if they think the movie has value, allow licensing. They were pretty willing to let Cameron Crowe use several LZ songs for 'Almost Famous' which was about Crowe's time as a young reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine. Yet on the soundtrack I think there was only an instrumental version of 'That's the Way'

(95,337 posts)and at 13 was just excited that I might go see my first Zeppelin concert if they toured.
As for CODA it was a sad album because you knew it was all the junk that never made the other 8 albums and that Zep was pretty serious about not reuniting. But I will say Jimmy Page did CODA justice with the remasters and put 2 amazing bonus CDs with the album when it was rereleased last July. Evening Rolling Stone Mag raved about it
