They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Greatest Story Ever Told
Sept. 20, 1974
Palais Des Sports

Most definitely an off night. Looseness abounds, especially from Billy — the drummer is the last member you want to be off. It's no coincidence that the shows often cited as some of Zeppelin's worst were also rare off nights for Bonham...
To Lay Me Down
June 20, 1974
The Omni

Sounds a bit sunnier than most during the solo, almost taking on a bit of an Allman Brothers Band feel, being in that neck of the woods as they were...

Coliseum Stadium

June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium
