The more I hear this track, the less I can resist commenting. I mean, J. P. J., what can one say.? Genius, Maestro.? All the players are magnificent, - - standouts, - - Buffalo Nichols, Tedeschi / Trucks, Sebastian Robertson, Stephen Perkins, the maniac on drums, - - perfect.!! Which brings me to the beautiful Mihirangi, one of our very own Wahine Toa ( Google it.). As a Kiwi, I was already familiar with her work, but this piece just took my breath away.!! Go to " Peace Through Music, A Global Event For The Environment " to hear her incredible talk on the Whanganui River. Heart wrenching stuff, !! P. F. C. is truly the greatest force for peace in the world today. Al Peach, Aotearoa N.Z.

I've read at least 1 million youtube comments about "underrated" bands, singers, musicians, etc. But there simply is no human being more underrated than John Paul Jones.
He played: Bass guitar, guitar, recorder, koto, lap steel guitar, autoharp, ukulele, clavinet, sitar, keyboards, keytar, mandolin, cello, harp, chitarrone, lirone, viola da gamba and percussion
He sang vocals in the greatest rock band in history. He's a composer, and has been in 9 movies/vid's. He has been an active musician for almost 60 YEARS.

This is a kick-ass version that surpasses my favorite, the original by Kansas City Joe and Memphis Minnie and even the Zeppelin remake. John played bass in the Shadows, but beginning in 1964, he began studio work for Decca and found himself arranging and conducting session work for various English artists and bands we all are familiar with. Took up piano at 6 taught by his father, who was an arranger for a big band, apparently this early mixture of music served him well when joining Led Zeppelin. I know everyone heaps praise on Jimmy Page and rightfully so, but Jimmy wouldn't have had the success or longevity (he was also an in demand session guitarist) as anyone who has ever played in a band, knows it takes every musician to make the band. John's contributions to Zeppelin are often overlooked. Great job here, John!

On the Led Zeppelin IV album, an extra name is added: Memphis Minnie, a famous Mississippi Delta Blues guitarist & singer. She composed over 200 songs, including "When The Levee Breaks" in 1929.
The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 sent water 80 miles inland, devastating the poor rural farm towns. African-Americans became the focus for labor to repair & build new levees, and disaster relief food was rationed in a way that daily food was only given after a day of labor.
After things settled, many Black families migrated north to Chicago & Detroit.
Memphis Minnie was a blues icon who made an undeniable mark on American music and influenced musicians like Bonnie Raitt and Led Zeppelin. Born in 1897 as Lizzie Douglas, she was a pioneer of electric guitars and prolific composer who wrote nearly 200 songs in her career.

I didn't put all the details. The control of food was so that poor people could not travel away. Worse, many of the poor Blacks had been sharecropping, under Debt Peonage system. A virtual prisoner camp was made, to keep them in the Delta farmland, to pay off enormous debts. This was slavery, all over again.
Herbert Hoover was federal Secretary of Commerce who came out to oversee the massive relief operation. Media coverage made him a hero, so Hoover ran for President and won!
When flood was over, many of the Blacks migrated north to a new life in Chicago, or Gary, Indiana, or Detroit & Dearborn, Michigan, or Cleveland, Ohio.

@@Fogel70 Agreed, but I know blues purists who scoff at Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, etc. just because they used electric instruments and distortion and took the genre into new sonic/structural arrangements. I love hearing the experimentation (when it works, and I admit that's subjective), but I'm not a big fan of bands that try to reproduce their sound all over again (like Greta Van Fleet). And there are very few modern "pure" blues artists that don't bore me to tears...

I'm a big fan of Zeppelin since I'm a teenager, so when I found out this song from their IV album was a remake, felt something strange: how could their best song in the album (with Stairway to Heaven and Black Dog at the same fucking release), perhaps best track from all albums, be kinda a cover... Older, I also found out that in the 9th Beethoven's Symphony, on it's most famous section "Ode an die Freund" is a kinda cover, also - the great Master has made the music over a Schiller's poem. So state that When the Levee breaks is the "Ode an die Freund" from Led Zeppelin is a compliment indeed.

Epic, to say the least. Not many bands in my library are like this; Where you re-listen over the years and continue to hear new "things" in the songs. Undiscovered nuances, and the like. All of the minute details in the playing and engineering are why I let myself be so disappointed when I saw them the only time on stage in 1977 on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. I wasn't mature enough to understand the complexities of such a live performance as theirs and was not prepared in any way to appreciate their stage presence as much as I could have; As much as I should have. They were, however, the ultimate in cool for the day. Long live the music, and long live youthful dreams and visions. Hell, "Long Live Rock".
