The argument is not about stealing its about giving credit. Graham's poverty was largely self imposed as I understand, so money isn't the main issue, but when you borrow so much off your contemporaries you should mention it.
I listened to Bring it on Home on Led Zep 2 and knew it was a Sonny boy Williamson song, I did not mind it ,but what upset me was it was credited to Page and Plant on their album. I have nothing against different versions so long as you say who wrote it.....theJecat
@TheJECAT thats rediculous.. thats a zeppelin song.. they threw in the intro in the beginning as a tribute.. that powerful page riff you hear in the middle is a zeppelin original just has the same title which is not copyrightable..
@Gettheledoutstyle That 'powerful Page riff' is almost note for note Bert Jansch's arrangement of Blackwater Side from the LP Jack Orion (1966), two years before LZ1! Transatlantic Records (Jansch's label) were worried about the costs involved in taking on Led Zeppelin in the courts, and half the costs would have had to be paid by Jansch personally, which he simply could not afford, so the case was never pursued despite the obvious similarity...
@DannyDesperate i was NOT talking about blackmountainside i WAS talking about BRING IT ON HOME.. i know pages arrangement besides the tuning is bert janschs arrangement thats obvious
@guitarmanmark -i agree with some of your comment (influence and all), and i dig Page too. But it was Graham's idea, flash, intuition, feeling and experience that generated this version of the tune. Page didn't do any of that to produce this (I'm not talking unacknowledged plagiarism here). It's an idea that not original, and Page has his own conscience to deal with. Unless he was performing some ironic postmod/polaroid version, but i very much doubt that.
pages later acoustic works were better, " the rain song" and " bron-y-aur" to name a few.,,( no sign of bert jansch or davey graham in those compositions either)
He doesn't have to credit anyone. it's a public domain folk song. That would be like me crediting my rendition of La Bamba to Richie Valenz, who did not write the song.
@a8hseriess It's the Julie felix show from about 35 years ago Watched her avidly but do not remember this, must have been out getting pissed......jecat
Obviously he is channeling Davy but, this is a really fine performance as well ... plus he is using a plectrum pick .. ie different from DG's technique.
I am not a Led Zpln nut, in fact Davy is my hero. To me this is a wonderful tribute to Davy Graham.. Don't we all try to channel that which means the most to us?
Look, I am an enormous fan of Jimmy's, and am well aware of his "stealing" from other artists, but cut him some slack. All you people saying he stole from Davey, Bert, or whoever need to know that these were all traditional Irish folk songs, so they are all stealing from (most likely) some Irish peasant from 1800. Regardless, they are all incredible guitarists. and in my opinion, Pagey makes this song completely his own, and he has plenty of legendary unstolen music under his name.
@guitarmanmark where would music be if artists did not feed off of eachother? Music is there to inspire the next generation, it‘s what makes it live on strong from the present to as far back as you can think. For example: If Jimmy did not take influence from older artists, I would have never found out about Davy Graham.
You are obviously sour because this man made something of himself, where you sit at home consuming and leaving nothing but a carbon footprint and compacted trash.
Page is a lucky man, right place at the right time! Unfortunately he's not so good on the guitar, some of his stuff is appalling, and he has ripped off so much material, yes including stairway and many other zep songs, like I said a lucky man
IF IT WASN'T FOR PAGE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD OF JANSCH OR GRAHAM! Get over it guys, it wasn't even YOUR music, let the original artist fight his own battles...oh, too late.
Page only performed this live. I don't think this version ever made the BBC sessions. I've had it from a bootleg since 1994. So I think saying he took credit about this song is a bit much. Plus, he made it his own.

yeah it was ok... Get a bit sick of the graham jansch shit.... for the love of god Page could fart and one of you would say it was a cover. Get over it. All real music followers know the shit.... less it be forgotten, burry the hatchett... but i doubt it .
Ive heard Bert Jansch' version but not Davey Graham's. Page ripped off other people his entire career with Plant beside him stealing lyrics. And for you worshippers, stairway was ripped off. Type in Led Zeppelin rip off's on youtube...
btw page has made his mark without white summer please stop it lets not forget kahmir stairway, black dog, achilles last stand this responce you made is yuou just wanting to be differant and show people you have your own taste fine dont knock jimmy page , shows your lack of knowledge also jimmy page did something right he is noted one of the best guitarist off all time i never herd of your davy g, the peoples choice wins serve the people
wake dildoes jimmy page is improvising he taken style of she moved through the fair and also some mideastern and his own song its called improv eddie van halen jimmy page all borrow and put in there own style besides davy ghtram is dead why you arguing over dead guy
@lemonlime1600 That's quite awful of you to ask "Why are you arguing over a dead guy?". Are you saying we should stop caring for the deceased? Because coming from a Zeppelin fan, which it seems like you are as well, i would hate it if the world suddenly stopped caring about Bonzo. Be a bit more considerate. Davey is a legend, and we shouldn't forget about him and stop talking about him.
but white summer isn't on any disc producted by Jimmy Page, he played it just live, what are you saing?? he ever said that he took inspiration from Graham's!!
Everything comes full circle. While I acknowledge that Jimmy Page was a musical magpie, I wouldn't have known who Davy Graham was, there's probably a handful of people in my generation who acknowledge and appreciate his existence. True innovators and geniuses often die poor but you can't blame Jimmy Page... He was a sessions musician for a start!
Inspiration and tribute entail giving the musician that inspired you credit. This is what Paul Simon did when he recorded Graham's "Anji". This is what the Stones did when they performed live with Howlin' Wolf. Plagiarism is when you take said musician's material, change it up a little bit and claim it as your own. It's what Jimmy did to many musicians. I'm amazed at how many people refuse to accept this.
I agree with alot of what has been said ref Graham and Page,but its been happening for years The Stones, Cozy Powell,Led Zep etc have all been involved in controversy about ripping the poor guy off and it aint gonna change because money talks and morals walk
Page seems a bit shy in this rendition of the davey graham song. To all the people who think this is an exact copy of graham's version, listen to the page's interpretation of the song at royal albert hall, 1970. It's awesome, much more than that. He improvises all the way through. Altough I agree with what you said about copyright it seems to me that the point here is the interpretation. And as I said, it should have been better considering page guitaristic skills.
I love the sloppy stoned Page that plays live! but If you hear Page's studio work you really understand that there has really never been another guitar player that comes near him !! and I've been playing guitar for like 20 years now...
@kidzsanlorenzo And even to find ALL of his studio work is a task! Being a session guitarist for so long just gave him the exposure to almost every genre/style. And they all come other in Zeppelin. Musicians take music to new places.
Are you people out of your mind? This IS NOT she moved through the fair as the title becons. Its WSBMS. DUH! Still classic JP. Repost with the correct title and I wont have to whack your pp anymore.
@fatdogtavern I love Page's work, but he outright plagiarized Davy Graham, he never mentions Davy Graham once on the album sleeves or covers. Jimmy Page owes Davy Graham quit alot of money, a genius who died practically penniless. This has the correct title, the song is clearly Davy Graham's rendition of She Moves through the Fair, it's beyond clear.
@truthslap Just one question...where did Gharam get it from? Briggs. And where did she get it from? Tradition. Songs like this are not about who wrote it, like any traditional celtic air or jig, they are INTERPRETED by whatever artist. This is an INTERPRETATION of the same thing. I would find it very hard to believe that Davey Graham was Paige's only influence when he was composing his interpretation.
@ohshammyitspork One problem, Graham's version sounds absolutely unique from Anne Briggs version (which is most like the traditional song) or any before it, while Jimmy Page's rendition is almost precisely the same interpretation and arrangement of Davy's. Jimmy Page is a self-proclaimed fan of Davy Graham's work, so he's heard it all. this is pure plagiarism, which disappoints me because Page is fantastic, he simply should've given proper credit.
@truthslap I do see your point. And yes, a credit to Graham on the album would have been nice. But to be perfectly honest, I only know of one recording of "White Summer" (Album wise, not including the recorded live performances in a video format). Other than that, this was a live song. And playing a "cover" live is not a bad thing, especially when there are citations made during the concert. (Which I've heard, not seen...unfortunately)
@truthslap And, just as a side note, if you want to talk about "stealing," listen to the beginning motive of Graham's "Cry Me A River." Sound like the intro to "Stairway"?
@ohshammyitspork I agree you should be able to cover somebody's music live, I just feel that Jimmy Page took an extra step by renaming the songs, like white summer (she moves through the fair) and black mountain side (blackwaterside). When you rename a song AND forget to credit the original arrangement, that comes off a bit sketchy to me. By the way I never noticed the intro to "Cry Me A River", that does sound alittle TOO much like Stairway, good catch! =O
@truthslap To be honest, when I started getting into Zep for real, these things bugged me a little. But there is so much else that I can point to and say "they are amazing!" that I just sluff it off most of the time now. At least they don't sample the acual performances from other artists in their songs.
@ohshammyitspork I totally agree that Zep took music to a higher level that every generation since has been trying to live up to, they are one of the most powerful, incredibly creative bands I've ever heard. I'm a big fan of Zep and I collect their stuff, I just never could get past Jimmy Page's occasional tom-foolery, because I also love Davey's music and feel he would've benefited from the exposure of being credited on Zepplin I.
@ohshammyitspork That's true man, really sound like "Stairway to Heaven", however, this is not "stealing", it's just inspiration, the rest of the song is very different.
@truthslap and Davy Graham owes who for taking a traditional Celtic tune and recording it under his name? Ridiculous. If Davy or Anne or any of these early artists felt ripped off or felt they had a case they would have sued. They didn't because the songs are traditional. Besides, Page smokes Dave Graham.
@TexasMist what you're hearing on white summer is Davy's arrangement of She Moved Through the Fair, if you're familiar with music theory then you should be aware that a distinctive arrangement is as recognizable and clear as anything. it is especially the case with old and oft uniquely played traditional songs, played as one's own unique and truncated interpretation. Page lived in the same parts of England as Davy and was very familiar with his work, this was plagiarized.
Page is a giant in music for good reason for fuck sake! shut up and listen to Led Zeppelin or go back to abba and leave the good stuff to those that know better!
@Duellist99 I somewhat agree. Lot's of people are mad about Page/Led Zeppelin taking songs like this and passing them of as their own. I feel its fine because he's changing it....
It's not the exact version, It's his own song even if it incorporated some other peoples riffs/melodies into the music
@Duellist99 Davey Graham is way more talented that Jimmy. Jimmy great in his context, but Davey Graham was a "real" musician. Check out "Tristano". This guy just rips off Bert Jansch and Davey and thinks he's brilliant. There are people who can actually arrange those tunes in their own style. But really this is just baloney towards the end.
@kildare97 People just need to find something to whine about, we get it, he did steal at certain times, but the bulk of his work is not only original, but completely innovative as well.
@kildare97 Stairway was plagiarized. I'm a huge zep fan. But it was obviously not a completely original piece. Stolen from a band called spirit, which zeppelin opened for haha.
@kildare97 Thats why i said not completely original. The only part that was plagiarized was the opening. Even then, the song is incredible. Pure genius. One of many incredible songs
@kildare97 nah jimmy and randy got their riff from daveys cry me a river.. randy was influenced just like page yet he gets away with it.. its a common riff look it up
@kildare97 bron y aur, tangerine, thankyou, rain song, there are too many great pieces page wrote ( acoustically) battle of evermore.......all beautiful pieces
bernie madoff was a great accountant.

@Duellist99 I'm fairly sure I've seen Zep pretty much admit that loads of their stuff is 'borrowed'. Doesn't stop them being fantastic though :)

I'm sorry where does it imply that he said he wrote it!!??
Certainly not the title or description.
He has said on numerous occasions that he loves and is influenced by Davy.
Yaaay Dave and Jim.

@Duellist99 Davey Graham is way more talented that Jimmy. Jimmy great in his context, but Davey Graham was a "real" musician. Check out "Tristano". This guy just rips off Bert Jansch and Davey and thinks he's brilliant. There are people who can actually arrange those tunes in their own style. But really this is just baloney towards the end.

@jazzbox111 If you don't think Jimmy can write himself listen to "Bron-Yr-Aur" or "Swan Song".

@kildare97 People just need to find something to whine about, we get it, he did steal at certain times, but the bulk of his work is not only original, but completely innovative as well.

@beatlemaniac1966 True Why the fuck do people care so goddamn much and they exagerate it.

@kildare97 Stairway was plagiarized. I'm a huge zep fan. But it was obviously not a completely original piece. Stolen from a band called spirit, which zeppelin opened for haha.

@Roboto6 oh lord If stairway was a lesser known lz song It would be brushed off.
Where did taurus have The build up?The Solo?The Climax and most of the acoustic part

@kildare97 Thats why i said not completely original. The only part that was plagiarized was the opening. Even then, the song is incredible. Pure genius. One of many incredible songs
