Thanks for posting this recording. This has been a favorite of mine since it appeared on The Yardbirds "Little Games" album. I believe the LP was released in 1967.
That's likely Page paying tribute to two of his guitar heroes, Davey Graham and Bert Jansch, from whom he adopted much of his acoustic playing style. White Summer is Page's cover of Graham's She Moved Through The Fair. Black Mountain Side is Page's cover of Jansch's Blackwaterside (from his Jack Orion album, which Page loved). Page also lifted a few strains of Jansch's banjo instrumental The Waggoner's Lad into the Bron-y-Aur Stomp. Here are the original songs, which can give a good insight into some of the influences on Page's style. Graham's original: th-cam.com/video/CYABfZ7HMhM/w-d-xo.html Jansch's Blackwaterside: th-cam.com/video/ex9t8PJzUbY/w-d-xo.html The Waggoner's Lad (see if you can pick out the licks that page used.): th-cam.com/video/XWXpzYVh5LA/w-d-xo.html
It's a traditional folk song that's been around for more than 100 years. Here's a performance of the tune from 1938 th-cam.com/video/vvjFii5syi8/w-d-xo.html
@@KingOfBboys Of course, just as the commentator mentions in the video I linked to: It’s a traditional. But if you listen to Page‘s version(s) the connection to Graham is undeniable. That’s why I somewhat cynically wrote „original by Davey Graham“. Graham’s guitar playing, his lines and phrasing are very, very unique and recognizable. Jimmy copied all that almost note for note. He has quite a reputation doing this sort of things, I‘m sure you know as this is not a single opinion and Jimmy knows it best ; ) I love both versions nevertheless! Haven’t heard better guitar interpretations so far (But that’s only my personal taste of course).
@@mr.k905 Everyone knows about the alledged plagiarism by Zeppelin, but I've found that most of them are due to lyrics and not due to the musical composition. However, I agree 100% with you that this is actually one of the cases were it's done blatantly by Page. I wanted to point out that this tune have been re-worked by many different artists. Though I share a common bias towards Graham's version as well ;)

They changed the ending. They changed the beginning. They changed the middle.
Is it still the same song?
Not very sloppy here, lol.
