They used a cover version of the Immigrant Song for the title sequence to the American version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

I thought it was funny when they used it in Shrek. :lol

I saw Zepp back in '77. My best friends girl stood in line all day to get us tickets for one of the four shows they did. It turned out to be the last show they ever did in town. Lucky we didnt go to the 3rd show cause Page got sick and they had to call it 1/2 way thru.

Lol, as strange as it sounds now I considered seeing them as the pivotal event of my life back then. It was just a different time. 22,000 total strangers lighting doobs and passing them down the aisle for everyone else, grooving on the music. A decade of fast cars, lots of sex, and party, party, party.

I had hair down to my shoulders. That changed at the end of '77 and its never been long since.

I saw the Zep in 1977 in the Kingdome with 65,000 people and the concrete supports were vibrating. They leased every AMP in Seattle for that show. :rock

I heard that on the radio this morning on my way to work. Don't like the song but it sounded great. And it certainly sounds better then when they used to try covering them.

I did like a lot of Led Zepp though but the two best were always the immigrant song and communication breakdown.

Jimmy Page, around whom the Zeppelin revolves, is, admittedly, an extraordinarily proficient blues guitarist and explorer of his instrument's electronic capabilities. Unfortunately, he is also a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs, and the Zeppelin album suffers from his having both produced it and written most of it (alone or in combination with his accomplices in the group).

Kennedy Center, 2012.  Tribute to my favorite Band.  I believe only Ann Wilsons voice could do justice to this tribute.

The drummer, the Son of the late great John Bonham.  Led Zeppelin.

These guys are local, to me, but they have traveled quite far at times.

If you ever get the chance to see them, I suggest you do so.
