This song proves what I've thought all along. Tori Amos is way more Robert Plant than she's ever been Kate Bush.

It's amazing that Tori and Robert sing together, like a dream came true.

Robert Plant was her teenage hero I believe and they sound great together.

Tori is Incredible!

for all you naysayers, notice that plant, on this album, didn't do any other duets with any body else, and if you hate tori amos, be sure you do so after perusing her over 20 year music career (be informed before you open your cake hole XD) like someone else said, just to reiterate, she freaking LOVES zepplin and has already covered MANY of their tunes

Doesn’t matter how long her career was or anything else. Plant sounds awful in this song, and her horrid screeching voice is even worse. I love most of what Plant has done both with LZ and during his solo career, I have followed everything he has done. But the only duets he shone in were with Krauss. This song is the worst he ever did. Love is blind and deaf.

The people posting negative comments obviously know nothing about Tori, her love for this man, or this band. It's beautifully done.

Amazing version. So very different, stunning

I have listened to this many times, but only just now realized Plant’s guitar playing is at times imitating the sounds and styles of Tori’s Bosendorfer piano. I enjoy this song and version more and more with the years.

Robert plant has struggled so much with his voice but always makes it so special. He's not trying to do zep stuff anymore just uses the voice he has the best way he should. Love him still.

You think this is a result of Plant lacking the range to sing down by the seaside? When he was singing immigrant song every night in 1990. Or belting rock and roll and black dog in their original melodies during the Page/ Plant tours from 95 to 98. Have you listened to any live Robert Plant in the past 30 years?

Say what you may, but this is absolutely amazing and a perfect mixture of these two.

As much as I love Led Zepplin and the original song, I actually think this version is better. As a matter of fact, most of the covers on this album were top-notch (although, of course, many of the originals are better). However, this version takes a rather light-hearted song and turns it into a dark, haunting love song. Beautiful.

Omg her voice😍

I did not think anybody can do better than Led Zepplin but this is as good as the original. Juat amazing hearing Percy again. What a treat for the fans.

I have loved Tori for as long as I can remember and I knew of led zepillin obviously, but had never really listened to them until this album came out. it was because of her duet with robert plant that I really became familiar with the band's library. It was through Tori that I was introduced to other Music I was "supposed" to know, joni mitchell, 9case of you), rolling stones (angie) I've listened to their duet a million times and it never gets old. It's always haunting, moving, and visceral.

This one stands tall on its own. Completely different from the original and equally great if not more. At 6:30 she goes into 3 variations of crooning. absolutely haunting. Another song in Encomium that rewrote boundaries is Going to California by Never The Bride. Oh that song gives me the shivers.

@Joe Blow - completely, mate, in my opinion she's an absolute Goddess and wonderful to hear another guy give her the credit she's due! She saved my life in a spiritual sense back in the mid 90s w "Boys for Pele" and pulled me back from the edge like an alt-rockstar version of Lady Galadriel, and I love her for it so much! Best wishes to you from Australia 🙂

Saw her play after The Melvins @ Bonnaroo 2010. One the greatest shows of my life. God broke the mo ld with Tori.

I love it, I think I get what they were trying to convey, and I love the idea of it :)

This could be Solstafir or an old Sigur Ros tune. This is one of the most played Led Zepp version s I listen to overall, even tho it's Plant. I find Amos adds something very special to it, and the band. It's so bluesy and catchy.

Happy New Year 2021, and what's this little gem, sounds like a bad day at the beach. I'm so locked into Zeps version, as well as the rare acoustic demo version that this version (and Robert owns it so he can do what he wants), is so strikingly melancholic and dark in contrast. And wow like Robert plays the guitar on this, very interesting, makes me wonder if it were him now playing acoustic on the original? The guitar is very dark compared to Jimmy's bright sunny day at the beach version. Robert the dark in this tune, Tori is the reluctant light. Very peculiar, but I like it. Reminds me of how I looked at the beach when I was young, and how I perceive it as an old man, kinda comes off like that, like one who has done much in life and is aware of nearing the end. Mind, matter and our search for meaning in an expanding and evolving universe, nice cut

Lux!

It's definitely a labour of love on her part. I've heard her sing it solo...I'm not sure if I like that version better or the duet, though.

i feel sad i need a Razer and tori & plant love you xx

2:11-2:24 sounds like a mix of the live version of sugar and bachelorette

Can u imagine that LZ had Tori Amos as a member of them! I guess if that happened during their period they would fight each other to have a sweet GF.

Nice song

Ahhh I forgot about this lp I had this when it came out lol

Cool riff

Wow! Had no idea my two favorite artists collaborated and dated . Crazy sexy .

I don't think it occurred to you that Robert Plant was the lead vocalist of Led Zeppelin. So if Led Zeppelin is a legend, how is its own vocalist a disgrace to the band itself?

Thats a nice way of saying... 'what I was saying to Daniel Lorenz' A comment just before this one.

obviously Robert thought well enough of her to re-record one of his great songs with her... And "Tori Anus"? You've seen Zepp live, so that leads me to believe that you're 50 and not 5...

That I struggle to find this on streaming is a crime against nature. This version slaps with a glorious hot mess of sexual tension.

Is that a nod to Yes, Anastasia in the section starting 4:40? (It's kind of a shame, 'cause I did like that dress...)

This is the version you hear in some lounge in New Orleans, where everyone is high as fuck.

A fale zagłuszały ich głosy w ekstazie... :-)

John Paul Jones hated the original. Wonder what he thinks of this. JPJ's Organ melodies where absolutely lovely in the original and I'm not a huge fan of the organ/electric piano....in rock specifically. Not sure id call the original a rock song or...Zep even a rock band. They were much more of a blues than anything. A damn good one at that. I have always liked Amos' technial abilities as she is an extremely gifted pianist. The possibilities this song presented to say the very least were sorely missed imho. But... artists gotta art and this was what they wanted. I hoped for something else.

it'ss apart of her vocal style. robert has his blues vibrato and tori has her sultry breathiness. 'bitch'? that's inda rude....

thank GOD Plant met Page before Tori Amos...

@joyfulin christ: very poor statement....never ever is she a satanist....she is a loving and protecting person. ..if you had cared and read enough about her xou would have known she was a victim of satanic actions against her and she poured out her pain while singing!

@Joyfulin Christ: Just FYI, her dad is a preacher. So you're saying a man of God gave birth to and raised a Satanist.

I'll accept it as a cover version....but the whole melody and feeling got lost along the way.

I worked for Tori Amos. She is not a nice person. I was part of the local crew at an arena where she was playing that night. (George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.) She requested that all of the local stage hands had to leave the arena and stay in a small, windowless room while she walked from the stage and to the bus. Once she was in the bus, we were let out, and continued our work. We were also told that night that before or during the show we were not to look at her or talk to her.

LOL. I don't believe this for a second. Worked around her at a radio station in Austin when she came in for an in studio performance. She was one of the sweetest artists that had ever been in the studio. She came into the sound booth and introduced herself to all the sound guys and radio crew and said what a great job we were doing and apologized for her sound guy being an "ant fucker." Later that day, she stood in the lobby and met hundreds of fans for nearly three hours, took pictures, signed autographs and took requests before her soundcheck. I will never believe a bad story about that lady.

Pretty poor collaboration and terrible interpretation in all fairness. I just found this on a Pressman Cherry Music studio duplicate cassette. It’s a copy from the studio master. Maybe it’s worth something to a die hard fan!

I see the word stunning used a lot below. Stunning is a good word, SHITTY, CRAPPY TERRIBLE, JUNK, HORRIBLE I can come up with a lot of words. Unfortunately NONE of them are very flattering!

i agree, this really sucks

Yes I do know Plant was the lead vocalist of Led Zep. I've seen Zeppelin live. I was saying that "THIS" performance is HORRIBLE. Plant was at his best when he was 20- 30 yrs old. When he sang in the Honeydrippers band it all went south after that time. And this terrible version with Tori Anus really sucks. p.s. I know my Zeppelin history.

i never thot id say this about plant singing a song.... but its actually hurting my ears , im out of here !

just really, really awful. I love both artists solo, but this version just guts what is a gorgeous and sublime song. it sounds like tori didn't really know how to add anything to the song, so she just crooned along. the instrumentation is terrible, too.
