Fumo30 I liked that Booker T. and the MGs very much :yeah:; also the Medicine men Video. I have to admit i never heard of 'Space debris',
let alone it is a german band? :hmmm:

I really like this thread, hearing so much non-billboard stuff i never heard before. Also those rare gems Eisenwurst posts :up:

edit: Jim, Phil C. in this classic commercialization religion clip :haha:

I'm not sure what the pondering smiley (:hmmm:) is supposed to mean, so I'll just shotgun this:


The song Dazed ad Confused was originally written and recorded by a folk singer named Jake Holmes in 1967:

Holmes and The Yardbirds were both on the same bill on a tour in 1967 and Jimmy Page was standing in the wings of the stage when he heard the song and he and the rest of the 'Birds liked it so much they adapted the song to their style (the theme of nicking songs from other artists appearing on the same bill with Page would be repeated several times in Zeppelin's career); the 'Birds did give credit to Holmes for the song. Following the breakup of The Yardbirds in 1968; Page was literally the one man left standing as a part of the band, and, for a number of contractual reasons, the burden of fulfilling and honoring performance commitments fell on his shoulders. Page recruited some other musicians to fill out the band roster so he could finish with the 'Birds obligations. The remodeled band was renamed The New Yardbirds and did few gigs under that name; later, an offhand comment by Keith Moon to Page & Co. caused the group to again change their name to Led Zeppelin...


Not really wanting to keep playing The Yardbirds catalog and needing new material, Page reworked Jake Holmes' song and recorded it, giving writing credit to Page himself and none to Holmes; not the last time Page would take credit for others' works. Holmes did eventually sue for songwriting credit and royalties and Zeppelin settled with him out of court; Holmes got his credit... sort of; the credit now reads "written by Jimmy page...inspired by Jake Holmes"...


Here is Holmes telling his side of the tale:

In 1983, three of the surviving members of the original lineups of The Yardbirds got together and formed a new group, Box of Frogs; they toured and released two albums, but never really caught on with the public; stylistically, their sound was an amalgam of early Yardbirds blues-based work and an attempt to 'modernize' the sound with some mid-80's New Wave influences. A goodly number of prominent musicians, particularly guitarists, made guest appearances on the Box of Frogs albums, including Jimmy Page. Here is a video of one of Box of Frogs' songs:

<O>

Yes, we all know Booker T:s magnificent Green Onions, but this is also worth of listening.:yep:
Space Debris is new acquaitance for me too. Great retro-stuff. So great, that it took some time for me to realize that this song really isnt any classic tune from late 60's-early 70's I've just somehow missed...Or is it?:hmmm::)


@vienna
Interesting, Thank you.:up:
Box of Frogs' song seem to be based on that widely used boogie riff made famous by ZZ Top/ la Grange, Wonderin if the origins of that riff can be found further back in the history.
At least Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In The Sky few years earlier sounds quite similar, if not identical.
Was he inspired by someone.?:hmmm:
