It's said that Jason Bonham has an encyclopedic knowledge of the band's different live arrangements, and this proves it. This is the only instance that John ever did that extra fill to lead out of the vocal pauses.
Great stuff here! I understand from reading other sources that timing issues in "Black Dog" were a frustration for Page. That being said, it's surprising that they didn't choose a smoother take, being that some of the material here is much more flowing and cohesive. Regardless, it's a great song! Another Zep song that had tricky timing was "Nobody's Fault but Mine." The version on Presence was flawless, but the Black Crowes kinda messed it up live, as I witnessed on videotape- you could see Jimmy Page trying to cue them in, but they just weren't getting it.
Very interesting to hear the drums all over the place and out of sync. I think if you don’t go for it you never know what could be, so many musicians today play it safe
Yep, he occasionally changed the lyrics too sometimes in concerts, and in the HTWWW version specifically you can hear he switched the "what people mean by down down and out" section for "gonna love me strong, sweet jelly roll", and afaik he would switch a few other lines in some rare occasions. A lot of the time Robert just kind of mucked about when he wrote the lyrics for the studio versions and he would sing different parts onstage on a whim
@@rap2xtrooper878 i know he occasionally forgot lyrics and repeated verses. It really didn’t matter and no one seemed to mind. This lady was concentrating on other things on stage besides the lyrics. His songs, his choice.
This is JPJ's lick. You can hear Jimmy in the beginning waiting, listening and learning. Very cool.
Also Good times bad times
Having the drums come in "early" was part of the song's arrangement at the O2 show in 2007.

When were the lyrics changed. Robert just adlibbing?
