Monday Morning Blues : The Song Remains The Blues

In honor of the two new Led Zeppelin releases coming this fall a double dose of the Monday Morning Blues today featuring songs that Led Zeppelin went on to make famous.

Via Marketwire:
Available November 13, Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment will honor the Rock & Rock Hall of Famers with the release of "Mothership," a 24-track, two-CD comprehensive collection that spans their illustrious career. All eight of the band's classic studio albums are represented here, with the tracks being personally selected by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. "Mothership" includes landmark songs such as "Whole Lotta Love," "Immigrant Song," "Kashmir," "Rock And Roll," "Dazed And Confused," and "Stairway To Heaven." The set will also include new liner notes by famed rock writer David Fricke.

Slated for a simultaneous release, Warner Home Video debuts brand-new DVD editions of "The Song Remains The Same," now for the first time with all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material*, including never-before-released performance footage of "Over The Hills And Far Away" and "Celebration Day"; plus performances of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The Ocean"; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Peter Grant; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand; and a Cameron Crowe radio show.

A good post deserves a comment.
I saw LZ in the 70s and had no idea they'd ripped off so many unacknowledged classics. It doesn't mean their music was unworthy, but I'd have enjoyed it just as much if I'd known it was mostly knock-off.
I mean the Clash never hid that Police and Thieves and Police on my Back weren't theirs, but the originals are pale in comparison.
More like this please!

Thanks !
70's Zep was one I wish I had gotten to see.
Great idea too for more posts about the songs behind the songs, I'll see what I can put together on that one.
