Dazed and confused - The Yardbirds

[shanehenning26]

great song

[KalleVL]

This is good. Not zeppelin good, but good nevertheless. I rated it a 5.

Agree can't beat ZEP'S version, but keep in mind please....THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!!!

Thanx a bunch there BuzzyBoy37.

@record1207 Well... Jake Holmes' Dazed and Confused is technically the original

[beau96080]

ya can't beat zeppelin's version. It's too emotionally powerful for anyone to top.

Jake Holmes, the guy who wrote this song, said that the Yardbirds did it the way he meant it to be. LZ has transformed it too much with all the screeching from Plant probably.

Just as well that Jimmy Page change the name of the group to LZ if not as a new group since they changed this song the way they did. Some said they stole this.

I saw them play this the other night and their whole show is just BRILLIANT!!! Go and see them if they're in your area!!!

Zombies were superb too!!!

Hi Rich. You're right! I saw them in St Albans. They were great, as well as The Zombies.

Thank you Jake Holmes for writting this. Thank you Yardbirds for recognizing a great song. Thank you Jimmi Page for ripping it off, claiming you wrote it, playing it damn good, and making it well known.

Special thanks to the lawyers that finally got Jake paid for his song.

[fairyfellermaster]

how do you know jake finally got paid the royalties? and is he getting any from zeppelin's version?

[FLHTP07]

The "Parties" can not speak about it however, I met a young NYC lawyer in Austin during SXSW a few years ago. She specialized in copyright law and was working this issue. AND you can hear the original on Jakes Myspace.

It wasn't mainly lyrics that spawned pages version, but truly just that one descending bass line.
