Looking for a great Zep cover suggestion....

[pigpen02]

My band landed a show at a really nice local joint as part of an all-day "zep tribute" gimmick. We get to do 3 songs, and have already picked two, and have them down cold: Immigrant Song, and South Bound Suarez.

We're looking for a 3rd, but the rest of the group keeps coming up with seriously lame suggestions. To complicate matters, we were one of the last bands to get the nod, and everyone else is already covering most of the better-known catalogue.

That's fine by me, as i'd rather do something else a little obscure. So, here's asking for suggestions....for the record, we're a five piece: keys, guit, drums, vox, me.

 

[Phantopeth]

South Bound Suarez? Wow, there's a Zep tune I had practically forgotten about, nice choice!

For your third, When the Levee Breaks it is!

Or maybe... Custard Pie!

My "all-time-favorite" Led Zep song . . .

"THE CRUNGE"

James Brown on steroids in 5/4 time (except for the bridge)!


"Now where's that confounded bridge?"

 

[Phat Ham]

With keys in the band do "Fool In The Rain." One of my favorites.

 

[Dragonlord]

The Rover

 

[ibnzneksrul]

The Ocean

 

[MonetBass]

I'd love to hear somebody cover Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid (you HAVE to play both of course). Awesome songs.

It's gotta be Trampled Underfoot. The song that first convinced me Led Zeppelin may not be that bad after all (I then bought all their albums and now have certain periods going years without listening to them before spending a day listening to everything they ever did.)

Seriously, that song rules.

 

[oldrocker]

How about Your Time is Gonna Come or Hey Hey What Can I Do (Street Corner Girl)

+1 on Trampled Under Foot. Great groove.

 

[Thinkarogadum]

Achilles Last Stand. End of thread.

 

[Sneckumhaw]

Well, it looks like my pick is the first one to get two votes. Gotta please the public, TUF it is.

Right?

 

[ibnzneksrul]

Right?

Nope.

 

[Sneckumhaw]

Nope.

Yeah, well, it beats the heck out of the bleeding Ocean

 

[ibnzneksrul]

Yeah, well, it beats the heck out of the bleeding Ocean

Oh Jeeez, now you hurt my feelings...


Plus, you insulted a three year old girl, shame on you.

I give another vote to "Fool In The Rain" by the merits of:

- John Bonham's shuffle groove, which inspired Jeff Porcaro to create his drum part for "Rosanna".

- John Paul Jones' attempt at Salsa!

 

[superbassman2000]

no quarter!

 

[ibnzneksrul]

Just for the keys: Night Flight

 

[Yvon]

The Rover

That or my favorite..
hot dog!!

Kashmir
at the end, have everyone get onstage and do Stairway.
