This song was written by Arthur Lee and first performed by the group Love which he and Bryan MacLean founded, one of the greatest groups ever. This is a great cover which Plant did for the benefit to help pay Arthur's medical treatments for the Leukemia that killed him in 2006 at age 61. RIP Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean.
Love definitely never opened for the Doors. It would have been the Doors opening as Love were the biggest band in LA after the Byrds. Morrison was in total awe of Arthur Lee. Jac Holzman, the owner of Elektra records, knew that Love were the bigger and more talented of the two bands. Love could have been one of the biggest bands ever - if only Arthur could have been arsed.
@@garethjenkins6273 Love had everything going for them, heck even their name fit with the times like no other band. Don't know what happened to make them lose that chance to stardom. It was the fate of many promising bands from that era.
@jamesaron1967 The story goes that most people in LA around the scene were intimidated by Love, particularly Arthur and Johnny Echols. They used to say that the band should be called Hate. Love were definitely not a hippy band. Listen to the dark lyrics on all three of their first albums. 'Sitting on a hillside, watching all the people die...' or 'The snot has caked against my pants, it has turned into crystal... I think I'll get my pistol.
I don't care if you feel this doesn't touch the original (what could), but it's so cool that Plant supported Love's timeless music and tried to spread the word as only a vocalist can. RIP Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean!
Robert Plant showed up at the Beacon theater. It was a benefit for Arthur when he was in the hospital.Plant as 100% into it. Try to find the bootleg album. The photo of Plant and Ian Hunter on the cover. Was taken by me. The whole evening was amazing!
Robert Plant's slant on a great tune from Love. If you have not yet checked out the Love album, FOREVER CHANGES, do so without delay ! One of the many GREAT albums we were fortunate enough to enjoy during one of the most prolific times in music !
This was from the Priory of Brion tour where they would play in small bars , clubs etc in the UK in front of 200 people on a good night. There would be no mention of Plant in any advertising/posters etc , youd just turn up to see a band and theres Robert Plant with his old mate Kevyn Gammond from the Band of Joy.
I found out about this song today. And I thought to myself, this guy sings like Plant, he just has a diffrent voice. And Immediatly thought : I wish I could see Robert sing this! I get home and here it is for me xD
A friend and I recorded a cover of A House is Not a Motel years ago. I recently rediscovered it and I'm pretty proud of it. This version is inspiring me to upload ours.
Love was a unique gift to our ears. Heard him first on Oil of Dog show hosted by Kim Fowley...RIP Arthur and Kim.... Jan chiodo Wilhelm six nation's NY
Percy really LOVED Arthur Lee (Fact). So why didn't he Force Arthur to have the treatment to save his life...This is TRUE; We all have family bereavements, which are individually indescribable, but I have NEVER sobbed so much as when Arthur died, xxx
Nobody beats the original.... he should've mix his voice with a more clear and clean guitar...to keep the atmosphere and the magic of the tune without repeating the original.

I lived in LA during the 60's and saw Love several times. One performance they opened for the Doors. Legends. What an era.

Robert Plant was a huge fan of the Classic Album " Forever Changes " and cites Arthur Lee as a huge influence .
Great tribute to the masterful Love, Arthur will live forever in the minds of music lovers.....Miss you

Poor me, first time i hear this masterpiece version.
Love was a unique gift to our ears. Heard him first on Oil of Dog show hosted by Kim Fowley...RIP Arthur and Kim.... Jan chiodo Wilhelm six nation's NY

💞
Fucking blinding version from a music GIANT !!!! 😎👌
Prima di arrivare a cantare come Arthur Lee ce ne vuole, Robert Plant può cantare solo come accompagnamento non sarà mai un solista
only true hipsters know the origin of this song
Yes,very nice to give Arthur's estate some $.
Percy really LOVED Arthur Lee (Fact). So why didn't he Force Arthur to have the treatment to save his life...This is TRUE; We all have family bereavements, which are individually indescribable, but I have NEVER sobbed so much as when Arthur died, xxx
When did an adult “force” another adult do something ever work? Arthur Lee was for better or worse, his own man. He was an amazing talent.
that's the nicest version of the song, a nie worst
Nobody beats the original.... he should've mix his voice with a more clear and clean guitar...to keep the atmosphere and the magic of the tune without repeating the original.
his voice just hardly suits :( ;
I'm sorry;
specially the beginning is simply weak
Yep
wow his voice is terrible lol.. nice try robert, stick to heavy metal
Mate, Zeppelin was hard rock and folk
at the time is was considered heavy metal. look it up.
Their folk songs were still folk songs
Mrswhugy "At the time" -> We are not in that time :)
You cant blame Zeppelin for Metal. Thats Black Sabbaths fault
