Thanks for the info. I'd love to hear the 1st live WLL from Winterland. I wasn't aware 
of this. When I was listening to the Lyceum show, Page seemed to be pacing his solo on 
How Many More Times with the main riff in WLL. I wasn't sure if they finished WLL at 
that time and since they played two tracks from the yet unreleased ZEP II, I thought I 
might be onto something.

It kind of reminded me of the way Michael Lee paced the "Calling to You" medley on the 
P/P tour with the drum bit.

I'm curious where most people would say WLL was ripped off from. It hasn't dawned on me 
yet.

Thanks again for setting me straight.
