Whole Lotta Love
Page's riff, Plant's howl, and a theremin freakout in the middle that still sounds like the roof coming off.

Page's riff, Plant's howl, and a theremin freakout in the middle that still sounds like the roof coming off.
Eight minutes that climb from recorders to Page's solo, never released as a single and never needing to be.

Page tuned to DADGAD, Plant wrote it driving through southern Morocco, and none of them had seen Kashmir.

Zeppelin played Reykjavik in 1970, and Plant came back with Vikings, Valhalla, and that double-tracked wail.

Jones wrote the riff, Page took the stop-start idea from Fleetwood Mac, and a stray labrador supplied the title.
Jake Holmes wrote it in 1967, the Yardbirds absorbed it, Page cut it at Olympic with a violin bow.
Cut in two New York studios in June 1969, with Mordor and Gollum folded into a restless road song.

Page cut the unaccompanied solo at Atlantic while the rest of the track was taped across town at A&R.

Among Plant's first songwriting credits, a CBS contract having blocked him on the debut, over guitars panning across both channels.
