Originally named the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that gave them considerable artistic freedom. Initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums over ten years. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and featured such tracks as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown". Led Zeppelin II (1969) was their first number-one album, and yielded "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love". In 1970, they released Led Zeppelin III which featured "Immigrant Song". Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history with 37 million copies sold. The album includes "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven", with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock history. Houses of the Holy (1973) yielded "The Ocean", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song". Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, featured "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir".
Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while Plant wrote most of the lyrics. Jones's keyboard-based compositions later became central to their music, which featured increasing experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their touring and output, which included Presence (1976) and In Through the Out Door (1979), grew limited, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death in 1980. Since then, the surviving former members have sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off reunions. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums.
Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of all time; their total record sales are estimated to be between 200 and 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.

I'll Never Get Over You
Led Zeppelin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No I'll never get over you
I just can't ( ? )
( ? ) see her anymore
Whoah no no
It wasn't so long ago
That you told me you love me so
And found another guy
I, i, i, i
I know someday
Somewhere I'll find
One love to take your place
One love to take your place
But in the meantime
I'll never get over you
No I'll never get over you
I just can't ( ? )
( ? ) see her anymore
Whoah no no
The lyrics to Led Zeppelin's song, "I'll Never Get Over You," explore the deep pain experienced after a breakup. The singer is still lamenting over the dissolution of a relationship and their inability to move on. The repetition of the song's title serves as a confirmation of this fact, highlighting the depth of the pain felt. The lyric, "I just can't ( ? ), ( ? ) see her anymore," shows that seeing the former partner is excruciatingly painful, and perhaps the singer has been avoiding their ex altogether.
The second verse further explains the pain felt by the singer. They had been told of their partner's love not long before the breakup, but then the person said goodbye in order to be with someone else. The repeated use of "I, i, i, i" shows the hurt and betrayal that the singer is feeling.
Despite this pain, the singer holds out hope for the future. They believe that someday they will find someone new who will fill the void left by their former partner. However, for the time being, they are still unable to move on.
Overall, "I'll Never Get Over You" is a poignant expression of the weight of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on.

Never heard this song ever.
It's kinda sad because it has been so long since they were together as a band. You can tell the song could have been a work in progress.
Zeppelin forever 🙏

It's a song by Johny Kidd & The Pirates. Perhaps they were just improvising at a sound check ?
