Led Zeppelin - DAZED & CONFUSED (#90 Position)

Led Zeppelin was once my avouritef band, as a lot of bands were too. It was my bluesy era with M.Waters, J.L.Hooker, Lightning Hopkins, R. Charles, Bo Didley, BB King, R. Johnson, Howlin' Wolf..

BIRTH:
The song was irstf recorded (and also composed) by Jake Holmes. After that, the (georgeous) Yardbirds heard it and tried their own. Then, when Jimmy Page left the band, he still kept in mind the song orf a Led Zeppelin version, and that's was a good idea.

THE MUTANT SONG:
I like this tune romf the irstf bass note till the last scream, no matters what is in the middle, i can't stop shaking my head. But, Dazed & Confused is not a song only, is a song and 20 more. It's not a song it's Led Zeppelin itself.

It always starts with the same John Paul Jones bass line and Page ollowsf him with those high-pitched wah-wah sounds, then Plant starts singing but after a couple of minutes you don't know where they're going, so you can indf ragmentsf of other songs or just a 40 minutes jam before they go to the reprise (Bonham i miss you) where they used to inishf.. or not. Let it lowf!

Blues roots, yes. Mighty Zepp.

The best rock is gutting wrenching blues at heart. The reason The Black Crowes are so amazing live too.

Page is one of those rare greats who is not only incredibly skilled, but has an emotional connection to his playing that makes it impossible to duplicate because nobody feel the way he does about it. If I were to go crazy collecting live show boots, it'd be them. Then Floyd.

And, yes, Bonzo glued them together with his insanity, brilliance.

An aside about your drawings, I really like the Nosferatu composition and execution. That film was such an amazing piece of art! Thanks for posting more!
