Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Plays Georgia On My Mind (Live, Salt Lake City 1973)

in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, music

Howdy youdopia. My friend Gus, who goes by August, now that he’s in the September of his years, says Youdopia hasn’t been updated since January. He is, of course, lying because I told him cold fusion doesn’t work. Anyhoo, this last month has been … how do you say… shitty and amazing.  So I blog Led Zeppelin. One of the reasons I love Zeppelin so much, and Jimmy Page in particular, is that they would cover almost any song. I never, ever, in my wildest dreams, would expect the boys to launch into Ray Charles’ Georgia On My Mind, but they did. And it’s good. Jimmy Page is absent, which leads me to believe that this was an off the cuff vamp while Jimmy changed a string.  Listen to the soul in John Paul Jones’  Fender Rhodes.  That’s a band, ladies and gentlemen, and I think it’s the Coolest Shit Ever. God, I love music.
