Oh? Have you ever comapred TFO and SIBLY?
(not a dis to either song, but both are alot alike!)

In a 1977 interview by Dave Schulps (from:Led Zeppelin: Heaven and Hell)
printed in GUITAR WORLD November 91 on page 107 Jimmy Page has that much to
say:

..."Tea For One", which was similar in spirit to "SIBLY", represents the
only time I think we have ever gotten close to repeating ourselves. The
chordal structure is similar, and both are blues in a minor key. We just
wanted to get a really laid-back blues feeling. We did two takes, in the
end, one with a guitar solo and one without. I ended up sitting
there,thinking, "I have got this guitar solo to do", because there have
been blues guitar solos since Eric=B4s on FIVE LIVE YARDBYRDS, and everyone
has done a good one. I was really a bit frightened of it. I thought,
"What=B4s to be done?" I did not want to blast the solo, because it wasn=B4t
conducive to the vibe of the rest of the track. I was extremely aware that
I had to do something different than just some B.B. King licks."
