Hi Alan! This song came up in a Discord channel when we were doing math rock. You said sitting uncomfortably and it changes a lot and is complex. The theme is definitely blues but not in 3/4 (or 4/4) like most blues. It changes time signatures A LOT and at certain points Bonham and Page were playing different time signatures, creating an interesting syncopation and a certain amount of tension. Love Zep (and don't have any stories, except seeing them in concert 3x).
Born in '71, i had older friends trying to get with my older sister so heard this around 7 or 8 yro in late 70s. As a little Southern kid i couldn't be convinced it wasnt a black woman singing!😅 Everybody their age thought Zep was the GOAT. Unfortunately i wasnt around when they hit so never were even top 5 or probably 10 for that matter to me, but know i would've felt different if experienced their impact when it happened. I just never cared for Plant though i absolutely loved Bonham! I always try & revisit yesterday's crap cause can always turn out to be your today's Jam & wondered what actual lyrics were to the annual 70s voted for #1 rock song of all time on radio, Stairway To Heaven. I read them & was like, WTF? Of course means something different to everyone, but made no sense reading off the page. Mentioned it to an old friend who got a bit offended. Then a few days later a video popped of Plant saying same thing i did & how he hated to have to sing them night after night & sent vid to my friend. So thats not knocking a bonafide GOAT, it was straight from Plant's mouth!😅 What's sad to me, & being from UK would imagine hes bigger there, but Terry Reid was originally chosen to front Zep. He was a better singer/songwriter, & guitar player who could've traded licks with Page! If dont know, Reid turned Page down cause had committed to open for the Stones on U.S. tour. Before tour he found Plant & Bonham playing in their band at a club & recommended them to Page. I can only imagine what would've been? Sure, we wouldn't have had Bonham, but Keith Moon was considered for original Zep as well! Once again, can't argue when called the GOAT, & if Zep blesses you & yours, is all that matters friends, just wish I'd been around when they hit to see & feel it myself! Will holla at you bro beginning of week. Hope you get some rest! See ya! ✌️🌎❤️
