Led Zeppelin didn't even think that Led Zeppelin were all that good as a live act.

They were never happy with their live performances. I'm simply telling you how they felt.

As great as they were in the studio, they never felt that they had an equally great live act.

The idea of "ownership" of a piece of music did not come about until recording technology was introduced, and a piece of music (a recording) could be treated like a piece of property.

In this context, what Led Zeppelin did--taking old blues songs and amplifying them, adding a backbeat etc. is a very natural thing in terms of what humans have always done.



However, to say that they performed "the original" of any given song is probably less accurate than with any other modern band I can think of.
Funny that this should come up again so soon. Notice that's Son House he is accusing of ripping off Zeppelin.

Ignoring the rest of the thread (sorry)

Awwww, Zips, I love the Corinne Bailey Rae!

I sang this to HM in the year I moved in. He remembered how much we connected.
Didn't work out that way, but hey.
Heard it today in our mini-mall and it lifted me.

I just love the fact she's kept the English accent in her singing voice. Like Lily Allen and Kate Nash.

But FTR

So I wouldn't worry too much, Bri, you can't beat Leeds in the '80s
