good stuff, cool you sticked to the real original, Page is an asshole for ripping off Jake

[babystinky]

what is even more damning, is that there is a live performance somewhere, out there, of the yardbirds, where they actually credited Jake Holmes, but say "arrangment yardbirds" so Jimmy Page knowingly, took this piece of music. There can be no doubt, it was credited live, but by the time Zeppelin came around, they figured they would just take all the Royalties!

I actually like the Holmes version better than LZs. Nice job!

Is that really only one guitar playing? And recorded in his living-room??

Awesome!

@ledzeppelinfreak13 Right, that's something that I simply don't understand. If Zeppelin's version sounds so much like the original version by Jake Holmes, why did Holmes wait 40+ years to sue Zeppelin? Surely, he's known about Zeppelin's version (as well as the Yardbirds' version) since the '60s. I'm not saying that his claim has no merit, but did he just realize that Zeppelin has deep pockets?

@LinkBulletBill Yes, I think people need to realize that musicians (and people in general) were not as legalistic or litigious back in those days as they are now. They didn't have this heightened awareness of copyright law (or the law in general) that people have now. The biggest mistake that Zeppelin made was not changing the titles of songs that otherwise bear little resemblance to the original versions.
