Wanted a woman never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill
It's a great cover.
Yes! Originally recorded by Jake Holmes in 1967.
Cool Mom!!
When the Led Zeppelin is playing, you shut the fuck up
Best response I have read
I saw an article recently that claimed Hendrix was impressed with Bonham's skills as a drummer. Imagine the association of these two musicians?
Yet another example of why John Bonham was the greatest Rock drummer ever... and he was 21 years old when this song was recorded.
well...keith moon ain't chopped liver, baby
I love Zep, and I hate to raise this, but Jake Holmes never got the credit he deserved for this.
I happened upon your comment as I was testing the resolve of my speakers with this one. I'm pretty sure this is the last song I want to hear before I die! (Or In My Time of Dying...either will do) Anyway, I looked up Jake Holmes and listened to his version. Wow, so cool. Thank you for the post, I had no idea. More correctly, I figured if it wasn't an original that it was an old blues tune...don't know why I would think that .
These guys and ELP. I'm reminded of John Peel's comment "A complete waste of time, talent and electricity" except in the case of Led Zeppelin you can skip the talent part.
John Peel was a bit of a berk.
I recently looked at my ancient vinyl collections and thought it was time to get reacquainted, so I bought a new middle range turntable with a tube preamp to get back those warm familiar tones that only analog and tubes can produce. Well, the first album on deck was this debut effort by LZ and I was immediately reminded how often the old stylus cut into the grooves hundreds of times - Scratch city! A newly remastered version has been ordered to replace the original for only $40 (think I paid $3) Oh well - can't wait!
I AGREE!!!
I second this request!!
When the parents went out on weekend holidays, my teenage friends and I would drop acid, sprawl around the living room, and crank up the Sixteens. This album was our favourite - great times burned into the memory banks forever! And of course I love hearing RP on RP!
“John Henry Bonham!”
When it's your favorite band doing it: "whatever everyone is doing it"
They took full credit for lyrics that weren't theirs. If it wasn't for the internet they would have run off like bandits.
You can't rip off a tuning scheme. And since all blues is just I, IV, V even unto the heat death of the universe, I can't see how anyone can claim that anyone is ripping anyone else off.
And if they do, there are legal remedies in place to give credit and compensation. Case closed.
Note for Note THEFT. Not just the song but the entire arrangement.
Breaks my heart to have realized it but Page was one of the worst plagiarists of our times. Several egregious examples stand out: Bert Jansch's Black Water Side was ripped off completely when Page did Black Mountain Side and again when his arrangement of The Waggoners Lad was stolen for Brony Aur Stomp. Davey Grahams She Moved Through The Fair was turned into White Summer and Page had the balls to confabulate a story that he "learned Eastern Music styles while backpacking through India" which was precisely how Graham went on to innovate the DADGAD sitar style tuning Page ripped off. Jake Holme's Dazed and Confused was note for note theft. Breeden's lovely arrangement of the folk ballad Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, the Willie Dixon, the Howling Wolf, all of it stolen. It is clear that Page and his lawyers took the "fuck em, let em sue us" approach to doing business. The chickens are coming home to roost. Read this piece and go to the sources. It's an eye opener. https://alanwalkerart.com/wp/?tag=bert-jansch

Out in the woods, around a big bonfire, this cranked. We always went out far enough that we never got bothered by cops. About a mile out, under a huge pine, this got lots of plays.
Kids built a pretty nice fort out there with stolen wood from the apartment complex. Of course it got knocked over. It was much better that way though. The open side faced the fire. It was 90F in there in January in New England.
That was 39 years ago!

WHOLE LOTTA LOVE: "I've got koolaid you've got koolaid" (teabaggers anthem)
And I always thought it was "When did a woman ever bargain for you?".

What? Page and Plant borrowed a few licks?! Shocking!! This is big news!
No other band before or since has ever done such a thing! . . . Zzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .
Whatever. They took something and made it better. Just enjoy it.
So tired of all these plagiarism crybabies trollin' on the Zep threads. The "wise"King has posted this same screed on multiple Zeppelin song threads.
Suddenly it's en vogue to trash on Led Zeppelin for virtue signaling purposes. Besides, if these other bands were any good the first time around, it'd be them in the Rock Pantheon instead of Zep.
We'll never be frends
Wow, thank you, I just felt like I am the only stupid guy in the world not getting Led Zeppelin. Although I gave this one a 7 ;-)
I don't think being 'D&C' comes and goes. Pretty sure once you arrive, it settles in for the duration.
(I've got 5 years on you to claim 'empirical data' on this!) BUT.... good info if true, but not that it will change the minds of the die hard LZ fans. They are 'like'
'Trumpians'
LZ'MAGA!' Err... I mean,
LZ RULES!!

oh, please. music is like a river. it moves, evolves, incorporates, undulates, gets sampled, and the new version gets added to the mix.
jimmy listened carefully to blues masters. don't get ahead of yourselves.
listen to the original you shook me. did page rip that off too? complete baloney when george got nicked for this same thing.
heck, the afghan whigs "algiers" sounds like a rip off of "be my baby" and so on . . .
The drum intro to "Algiers" is clearly derived from that of "Be My Baby" - the rest of the song sounds absolutely nothing like it. This song was heavily "borrowed" from Jake Holmes' song - not just the music but much of the lyrics as well. Still, this tune rocks - more than Jake's. Anyhow, I believe new releases of LZ's first album now give partial credit to Holmes for this song.
Wow. I always knew there were some uncomfortable similarities. If true, this sort of puts a very different spin on a very classic band and how we listen to them.

Truly spliff music. Back in the stoned days I'd have blissed out on this, but in these straight days it's f*ckin' long, innit? Nae bad, though, and perhaps I'll take up the old weed again one day and play old Zep and Tangerine Dream albums :*)
Is Tangerine Dream that bad?
I'll get me coat......

Thanks Markybx for pointing this out!
The grandstanding of Page and the Mighty Plant here tends to overshadow the godliness of the other two. I've always liked Zeppelin but it's only been in the last decade that I've realized just how stellar this band was.
Very strange indeed!
What planet are you from anyway??

Thankfully that's how I got here too, after PSDing some horrid song by Sam Phillips - Fighting With Fire.
So much better now.
We could never hang out together.

Chills in the final breakdown.
After more than 45 years. Still burns.
I remember exactly where I was in the fall of '69 when I first heard this: Custodian had it blaring in the after-hours halls of my high school.
"What the hell is THIS?!"
Burned into me that moment.
Probably. That's part of the intent with the programming here.

Thanks Bill!
Meg?!? Is that you Meg??!!!?!
Ditto!
Thanks Bill!
This song alone is quite possibly THE most rockin' song ever.
Me too Stego...2 of my top tens in the last 10 minutes.
Blood Sweat and Tears...Child is Father to the Man..
and this classic. Nice!......thanks Bill

I picked it up too, as for some reason my original copy of Zep I LP had gone missing (probably at college). I was amazed at how good this remaster sounds. Fun second live LP also.

Seriously? Like what?
