When the Levee Breaks

[DicKlodaLOVE]

it is just my opinion led takes the cake when it comes to this song but props to the guy for writing a song worthy for a remake

[GeistvonWut]

This version, or the APC one, is way better than the Zep version, in my opinion.

[ynyslochtyn]

Brilliant

[1felco]

This is very Hippy, couldn't hear this too long without smoking some dope.

Thanks God the Zeppelin re-edited a real blues version of it!

[golfdom1987]

Great job people! Great video! You really capture the devastation with the visuals.

[arjhendrix]

Hey Muvee

nice one. the title had me there...waz dizzy fo some lizzy.

grt to hear this rendition too and gl with the info thingy.

Peace

[scumgod13]

Beautiful. as far as Zeppelin just using the lyrics, hes right a lot is similar. One thing I think its in the same key. This is just bad Ass!

[kafians]

i just cant stop pressing replay...

lyrics plz cause i dont get them all

[newman015]

Awesome, listened to it 3 times in a row, I think it could do with plants voice but the guitar, harmonica and cow bell (i think there's one, sounds like it) are all an awsome ensemble.

[daverolo87]

the guitar is awesome...

[smokindog]

I think Minnie passed on a few years back.....Might have been the flood.

We did our best without her :-)

[michaelXXLF]

@smokindog

August 6th, 1973 to be exact. :-)

[johndooberman]

i don't hear minnie on here.

[dieselroarmt875]

zeppelins covered just the lyrics,the rest has nothing in common

[smokindog]

Actually zeppelins version is a re-working of the original. Lot of the original melody lines are there ....just turned around and twisted a bit. They just re-packaged it for the Hippies and pot heads of the 70's :-)

[termanogue]

@smokindog Yea they did the same thing with " Babe I'm gonna leave you", right? If I didn't confuse the song name, it was written by Anne Bredon and first recorded by Joan Baez. Led Zeppelin was a true rock band with great musicians. Awesome stuff thanks for posting.

[ShitMyCatsOnFire]

@smokindog Not true. Zeppelin's melodies are much different. Ignorant bullshit to call it "re-packaged". Did Hendrix merely "re-package" dylan's watchtower too?

[Lockschmitt]

Another job well done !

[TRUBADORtv]

Nice blues tune Smokin Dog. talented - marcoe

[inaciougly]

The original was written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929..and it was deeper like this one but the Zeppelin song is AMAZING the drum, most the drumming and the guitar...Led 4ever

[scumgod13]

@inaciougly Maybe...But to me this is the greatest guitar playing, harp playing and Vox.

[belezablea]

this video is one of the best of the best i have ever seen... tks a lot who did it ----

[bluevelvet931]

kudos for actually finding the original dude

[inaciougly]

Who sings???

[DaGarebear]

Not Robert Plant that's for sure.

[Luke0net]

great cover. glad you took the time to really dig down and find some need soul to put in it, instead of just rehashing the original.

[camarorider67]

dude this is the original, zep's version is just a cover

[terribleone794]

@camarorider67 this aint the original, it's a cover. and so was zep's.

and it's one bitchin cover.

[rhlc744]

@terribleone794 this is the original

[Sonate64]

@rhlc744 No it's a cover.

[bludrums]

Great simply great!

[smokindog]

Thanks :-)

[NeanderSapien]

zep's version don't have that deep mud on it. this gives chills. heavy vid man.

[smokindog]

Thanks! Some of the pics are of Paducah Ky. from the 1937 flood. Look at 2:52-55, My father in law helped rescue folks out of windows with a boat in that flood.

[smokindog]

Hey Stella, I'm mostly playing bass and banjo and a little guitar solo from 2:05-2:41. John (The Celt) is playing slide guitar in open D tuning. I'll surly do some Slide guitar lessons after I get my webcam :-)

[stellabloo]

Is that a slide or a bend? lol whatever it is sounds great - I wanna wail on my harpoon now ;)

[SplinterCell45]

i like zepp version better

[smokindog]

Its the same song but closer the 1930's blues form. Writen by Memphis Minnie/Joe McCoy.

[BabyBex94]

is this led zeppelin coz it dont sound like that song by them at all

[smokindog]

Thanks bro!! We have another one in progress. :-)

[ImgnNoLibs]

Great collaboration and video Ken. Kepp 'em coming!
