Zeppelin's version of 'Babe..' was originally written by Anne Bredon, which was also covered by the great Joan Baez of whom's version inspired Jimmy's.<br /><br />What's ironic is that of all bands involved in song similarities the mighty Led Zeppelin is infamous for not only 'borrowing' heavily from the blues greats, but within a Page's hair width of outright plagiarism. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I've always loved them since day one, but even I was shocked and have to admit disappointed as well.

I imagine it would have been tempting for them to add substitute chords and rhythm variations, but that could have scattered the energy of the tune.<br /><br />Interesting that the vox are so tight here and they were so loose on the Yes Roundabout track. Yes always came across as so much tighter than other bands.<br /><br />PS <br />I enjoy your blog very much - always learning something new from it. Rebhttp://www.rebhan.orgnoreply@blogger.com
