Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused" (live)


Jimmy Page, hard rock's greatest guitarist
Who cares about a bunch of potheaded hair-farmers tripping on acid, singing the UK version of American blues like they had the roots or the knowledge of jazz to get away with it? They were once the greatest band in the world, conquering the world like the British Empire once did. This was hegemony on a level not seen before, mediated by music industry tycoons and business types. The furious four make it to Royal Albert Hall at the end of the Sixties to show what guitar and man can get away with with a great back beat. And this is nowhere near the best version of the song. That's the amazing thing.


LYRICS: "Dazed and Confused"
I've been dazed an' confused for so long it's not true
I wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Now lots of people talkin', pretty few of them a-know
Soul of a woman was created below, that's right

You're the one, you're the one

Oh, everybody's been talkin', Lord
I swear they been talkin' trash (trash)
The way that ya push, push, push, push, push, push me, darlin'
I can't take too much of that
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon woah, darlin', show me the way
I wanna make love to ya, little girl, twenty-five
Twenty-five
Twenty-five
Twenty-five
Ohhhhhhh


Said you hurt an' abuse, tellin' all of your lies
I try to quit you, baby, but ya keep me
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mesmerized
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, say what you will
I wanna make love to ya again, darlin', twenty-five
