This song is so tuff. But don't take my word for it - take Saxon's word!

The parts that do it for me are the Michael McDonald backing vocals - especially when one considers that they were  performed somewhat under duress.

At 5:15-5:40, you hear the hint of "The Song Remains the Same" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" and at 6:45-7:05 you hear the solo in "Heartbreaker".  Page playing the Danelectro.

Led Zeppelin - White Summer/Black Mountain Side

BTW, I wish this was the signature Page solo for Zep rather than "Dazed"

Apparently when Jeff Stein was unable to locate the footage of this for The Kids Are Alright he burst into tears. I think since it was between songs most of the cameras were changing film or something.

You got to be a real asshole to cry over not being able to see a guy get hit in the head with a big hunk of wood.
