A brilliant smokey blues number. You've got to love that chorus riff... chunky drum beat and wailing harmonica. An amazing song.

My favorite Zep song----not killed from overexposure like the others and HARD DRIVING. Listen to it at 2 AM while driving. Better than a pep pill or a can of Mountain Dew.

This is a great song that I have only come upon today. I thought I had heard all the best songs from Led Zep but I was wrong. This is by far one of their top ten songs. It somehow escaped me, but don`t you just love it when you come across great songs like these.

Not my fave but a classic beat that has been ripped off by several artists.

What's not to like about this heavy-blues punch in the gut?

Whew, what an amazing song this one is! I've never heard anything quite like it, nor will I, I think, ever again if I live to be 300. The drum sound is phenomenal and the guitar is so dramatic it just puts me under a spell every time I hear it. Jimmy Page never fails to amaze with those studio tricks. It's just a shame they couldn't pull it off live, because of the way it was recorded.

Right on!!! Total heavy blues, and it has one of the most recognizable drum beats in rock. As soon as Bonham comes in beating the snot out of the drums you know you're in for seven plus minutes of total groove. I got this tape when I was like twelve and this song was the one that first grabbed me in a huge way. That was half my lifetime ago and the song still gets me going whenever I hear it.

An absolutely great song. It had incredible drum work by John Bonham, and some decent vocals by Robert Plant. The thing that sets this apart, however, is how Led Zeppelin transforms from hard rock to blues in this song. This song has many blues roots in it, starting with Memphis Minnie, who wrote the song. Zeppelin has always based a lot of their music on blues, but this is just incredible work by Zeppelin.
