This wasn't a b-side. It was performed/recorded live for BBC radio in '69. Not included on anything until the boxed set in 1990. Then later as a bonus track on the CODA re-release in '93. But I agree...the song is killer.

I first heard it on MTV late '90, I actually thought it was '88 or '89, but I looked it up cause I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Shit), and it was so much better than all the other hits that were out at the time. It's amazing that a song over 20 years old made such a splash on It's initial release. What a fantastic cover of Robert Johnson, no one could take an old blues song and make it sound so kick ass like Zeppelin could, definitely one of my favorites from them

don't miss on "Baby Come On Home" which is my favourite Plant's soulful vocals.. 👌

Recorded impromtu live in the studio, in one take, for the Top Gear radio show in June, 1969.

Now they need to do "Hey Hey What Can I Do" next. Its amazing, both Traveling Riverside and Hey Hey weren't released on earlier albums because they were deemed unfit and a bit vulgar for the albums, now adays they are tame and mild in comparison. I remember when the boxed set came out in the early 90's and I first heard these songs being released after sitting for decades on tape on a shelf and was amazed at how great they were!

Every time I hear this song feels like the first time. Between the amazing bass riffs, the 12-string slides, Bonham’s underscored off-beats and Plant being an instrument all on his own, there’s always a new discovery to be made.

They do the Blues so beautifully, they do Justice to those who created the originals. I think them covering these songs, helped to keep them still known, majority of us would have never heard them.

Led Zeppelin at it's utter best. This absolutely blew my mind when when it was released even after more than 20 years of listening to them devoutly. Simply the greatest music band of all time.

Excellent reaction guys! I'm elderly and bought their first album when in high school. Good music lasts, rock on gentlemen !!

My favorite line in this song is, "She got a mortgage on my body, gotta a lien on my soul." Thanks for the great review guys!!

This was a live performance on the bbc. Page lied to the BBC assuring them they would play a "known song" and not something new. They did the opposite and played this song. The best part was JPJ saying in a later interview "we only practiced the song a couple of times".

We didn't hear this on Coda it was a remastered version that came out in 1993. This song came out in a boxed set in 1990. So for us Zeppelin fans to hear this 10 years after they disbanded was phenomenal to say the least.

This never gets enough reacts. Glad you guys did it. If you get a chance, check out the official video. It’s great with concert footage and behind the scenes stuff. And yes, JPJ was on fire. 🔥

John Paul Jones, before he joined Zeppelin, made a name for himself as a session player, because he was one of the few bassists in the UK in the 60s who could play authentic Motown-style grooves.

For most bands, this would be their very best track. For Zeppelin, it is a deep cut. 😂😅

Been a while for this little gem As you said JPJ & John were in the grove Putting on rotation. Thanks guys 👍

Slide guitar ripping so hard. GOATs. Gotta love Jimmy.

You guys are the BEST with Zeppelin reactions

Amazing - especially when you think how young they were when this was recorded as part of the BBC Sessions in 1969.

Love your guys videos! Would be sweet to see your reaction to “the girl I love she got long black wavy hair” one of my very underrated favs from zep

“The girl I love has long black hair” check it out!

I think that Robert throwing the same blues lyric 'squeezing my lemon', having already used that same line in the Lemon Song kept this song from being released. This song, and Hey Hey What Can I do both became popular LONG after the band split up. The only way to get a recording was Japanese 45's. I got one at a pop up bootleggers table at a Mall. Both songs got radio airplay in the 80's. Zep did not release them until they did a compilation album.

How this didn’t make an album I’ll never know. Brilliant track.

Greatest Band Ever!

I’ve been begging for reactors to do this song.

This jam right here is my fav..got it all..everyone in the band showin out..thank you gentlemen. Enjoy!

The thing about Zeppelin is you can hear something different, some little subtlety on drums or bass ... after the 100th time of listening to one of their songs. Something you hadn’t caught before. Best band ever and it’s not even close.

Love this song and appreciate your reaction to it. Did you skip the track before this one, "Baby Come On Home"? I did a search on your channel but didn't find it.

One of my favorites!

Great analysis and appreciation, guys! I really feel the love FROM Zeppelin here. Their love OF the Blues, and their love of having fun with their outsized talents that they know damn well they a;; were gifted with. Just joyful stuff, seems to me!

Glad you're going to do TSRTS live album. Better than just the movie. The movie was fun but it's success was primarily because nobody had seen Zep play in my world so seeing them in a theater was a trip. People were nuts; beer, weed, rowdy, they cancelled showings because the local theater couldn't handle the crowd. I saw it about 6 years after it's official release in a dumpy theater in Worcester MA, sold out. The sound system sucked and the crowd was throwing bottles at the screen stomping feet and chanting turn it up. Theater couldn't fix the sound so they called the cops and we were escorted out. Finally weeks later they fixed it and people flocked for weeks to it.

It’s one of my favourite songs of all time and I’m 49.

Perfection, per usual.

Great choice guys! This song never appeared on an album, but was recorded in 1969 by the B.B.C. It was floating around for years in bootleg form. It was finally released in 1990 on the first Led Zeppelin Box Set.

My favorite of this album too.

Fellas, this was done LIVE on English radio, except for the guitar solos in the middle and at the end! These dudes can groove! Don’t forget about John Paul Jones on that bass!😁👍🏻

Can you believe this was a song left off an earlier album? I mean really, most bands would love to have this song be their single and Zepp just cast if off and only gave it to us much later on in a compilation boxed set in the early 90's. Amazing! Its one of my favorite tracks by the band too! Please consider also reviewing "Hey Hey What Can I Do". Its another song never released until much, much later. A song considered too vulgar to put on an album back in the 70's....and its also a banger!

This was only played once and it’s live to boot, what album was this left off of?

The only reason this one was left off was so they wouldn't have two "squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg" songs at the same time.

The "Squeeze My Lemon" bit is from Robert Johnson's original version of "Traveling Riverside Blues". "Goin' down to Rosedale, got my rider by my side" is from "Crossroads Blues", another Robert Johnson song. Robert Plant was taking bits & pieces of different blues songs & piecing them together.

Without a doubt my all time favorite LZ song

One of my very favorite songs by zeppelin or any bands

This song wasn't included on the original album. We didn't get to hear this until it was included on the boxed set from 1990. It was released for radio airplay along with "Hey Hey What Can I Do" which was a B-side on the "Immigrant Song" single.
