One of the longest songs to be featured as an album track on the LP of Iron Butterfly’s second album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, at 17 minutes it occupied the whole B-side of the record!  The song itself was recorded unintentionally when the band sound-checked for studio engineer, Don Casale, in Long Island.  When the band heard back what they had recorded they thought it good enough to grace the album!

When Led Zepp appeared on the scene they took the world by storm! Riff after riff blew everyone away, including the competition. They roared around America in a haze of drugs, drink and magnificent guitar rock. Drummer John Bonham’s sad demise was a direct result of this crazed excess but he was as instrumental in the mighty sound of Led Zepp as Jimmy Page’s hot riffing, Robert Plant’s gargantuan vocals and the deep-down-and-dirty bass of John Paul Jones.
