There is no song I've ever wanted to hear a live version of than 
this.....it is such a powerful song, both lyrically and musically. Even 
the Stone Temple Pilots knew this....just listen to "Interstate Highway 
Song" I don't know if anyone has ever documented Weiland saying anything, 
but that song is a tribute to FYL, and I even wonder if in David Bowie's 
"Fame" if he is not making a nod to Zeppelin at one point ("Do you ever 
wonder?" sounds kinda like "Do it if you wanna...." While the Bowie song 
might be going out ona  limb, The STP song on the other hand I think it a 
direct nod. FYL has always been one of my favorites and I would kill for a 
live version of this. Not that I will be able to hear it!
