Fine sound for a bootleg. I feel this way about a woman right this very minute, so I can relate.

@zliminator I'm not saying Zep was right, I'm saying that what they did wasn't heinously immoral or cravenly despicable, considering the historical context they were operating in. The songs as they played them were so fundamentally altered from the original forms that it's a grey area as to who deserved composing credit. Contrast this to the Stones appropriation of Black American music in their early days, where they did faithful, near identical renditions of Blues songs, but gave proper credit.

@KingKook shouldn't they have then attributed the song to 'public domain'? I'm sure some IP attorneys can comment on this if they're reading this.

@45arther those people are ALMOST as lame as the ones who go to certain videos for the sole purpose of leaving derogatory comments .
-
@300daysandnights An artist doesn't credit themselves as aa song's writer if they're doing a cover. Zep signed a lot of the songs they "covered" as though they wrote them. It's a minor, tedious distinction, but accurate and relevant.

@200665 people are taught the keyboard (typewriter), most are not taught... its called hunt and peck, an old expression from reporters back in the day. Anyway, doesnt mean they cant spell if you gave them a pen and paper. its all good... We can do without the grammar police. 99% of us really dont even notice the errors. 1% of you do. Not sure why it matters. We get the point of their post, which is all that matters. PEACE to all hunt and peckers. We want to hear ur thots. :)

@KingKook I don't think it's called stealing. it's called a cover.

@KingKook WOW WHAT A CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!

@streetparade Chill out dude, just making an observation. I'm just saying that Spirit were a big influence on Zep. Couldn't have happened to a better band.

@toocheaptobuyatripod Why? When I could be listening to Zeppelin. Honestly, do you know how many times I've heard the Heartbreaker, Rover, Lotta Love, Wanton Song "insert barely reworked Zep riff here" in somebody's else's song? Jesus, Jimmy and Bonzo have got to be some of the most sampled people in music. Get over it or become a lawyer and sue them, bitch.
All Youtube arguments in the comment sections are mostly composed of:
a.) questioning someone's sexual orientation.
b.) TERRIBLE spelling and grammar.
c.) Justin Beiber.
Just shut the fuck up and listen to the best band ever.

Even the original black American artists stole their songs from one another, but sometimes someone would do a definitive rendition & it would become recognized as "his" or "her" song. Many credited compositions were reworked tunes from older singers who never got recorded. We associate the song with whomever first recorded it, but it may in fact be a centuries old work song, or even an African tribal chant passed down. A lot of slave songs became Blues songs. Zep "stole" like all the "others."
