Heads up, I'm going out of town starting this afternoon and not back until Sunday. Golfing this afternoon and striper fishing tomorrow. In general I'm not a weekend RJ person. If we are in a hurry I can check in on Sunday.
Shit I just broke the ice and picked the same song as someone else! Dammit lol.
There's only 1 song left on IV so I have to take it to avoid being shut out.
Still, here was my Battle of Evermore overview:
The story behind this beautiful Tolkien-inspired track is pretty astounding. Page says he borrowed JPJ's mandolin and made the chords up with Plant at Headley Grange "in one sitting." While it sounds like Plant laid down multiple vocal tracks to harmonize with himself in the beginning of the song, this is the only Zeppelin song ever to feature a guest vocalist, Sandy Denny, who comes in during the second half.

Fairport Convention with Sandy singing is a fantastic group.
"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
Yeah I agree, it has been on my short list for a couple rounds
Love this one!

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper
Yeah, definitely looking at that one. Such a great song.
I look forward to you and Johnny tag-teaming me once more.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
