Ah, but I don't think OTHAFA is entirely the L.A. version, or even 
the L.A. version at all!  Listen to the guitar solo and Plant egging 
Page on -- nothing like the one performed on 06/25/72.

I haven't heard the Long Beach version, but I can only assume they 
used parts -- if not *all* -- of that one.  Wait, did they even play 
it on 6/27??
