Led Zeppelin "When The Levee Breaks"

"When the Levee Breaks" is a song written and recorded by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929, versioned by Led Zeppelin for their fourth work in study, Led Zeppelin IV. It is the eighth and final track of the album. According to Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page, the structure of the song was "a riff in which had been working, but in which the sound of the drums of Bonzo really did not fit"; It was recorded at a different tempo, slower, especially on the harmonica and the guitar solos. Since this song was largely produced in the Studio, it was difficult to recreate live, played a couple of times in the early stages of the 1975 U.S. tour, the band before touching it forever. However, the song was revived in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995." "When the Levee Breaks", was the only song from the album that was not re-mezclado after a mixed work supposedly disastrous in the U.S. (the rest of the tracks were mixed again in England). The mixture makes this song was kept in its original form.
