Censored Hurricane Katrin Video

Well, Youtube wouldn't let me use the audio for this video, as it's "When The Levee Breaks" as covered by Led Zeppelin...sooo, I went to the source, as noted by Wikipedia:
""When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927."
You'll probably be able to hear this version, because YouTube only protects record companies, not artists as such, particularly long-deceased artists who probably never saw a dime from Led Zeppelin's record company!
There you go: the same system that screwed the people of Missisippy in 1927, and the original composers two years later, is the same system that screwed the people of New Orleans decades later. YouTube is very much a part of that system, so let's see how this critique does...
Hat's off to Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie..as well as to Robert Plant , Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and the late John Henry "Bonzo" Bonhan, for doing great things. If you want to watch the original video, hence circumventing the corporate censorship here on YouTube, go to:

This is the better song anyway. Not taking anything from Zep but why not use the real thing!

Thank you for reposting this video. I am sad that You Tube made you change the song. I will still continue to watch this video though. I also enjoy listening to some of the older artists, like Leadbelly. If you do some digging around, you'll find that many of our awesome rock songs come from these older blues artists.
