Immigrant Song            

Leading off Led Zeppelin III, "Immigrant Song" was inspired by the band's June 1970 trip to Iceland, which led Robert Plant to conjure lyrics calling forth images of marauding Vikings from distant lands engaging in desperate, pitched battles.  The instrumental basis of the song as well as the trademark Robert Plant wail that marks its beginning can be heard on the Headley Grange studio rehearsal tapes from May - June 1970.  One of the few Led Zeppelin songs released as a single, "Immigrant Song" ascended to #16 on the Billboard charts and was backed with one of the most popular non-album B-sides in rock radio history; "Hey Hey What Can I Do" was otherwise unavailable before the release of the first Led Zeppelin box set in 1990.  "Immigrant Song" was first played at the legendary Bath Festival concert of June 28, 1970 and at every subsequent concert from then until the end of the 1972 American tour.  Appearing only a couple of times as an encore on the European tour of 1972 - 1973, it was absent until the 1995 Page and Plant concerts, which began with a few bars of this very memorable Led Zeppelin classic.  The Levee plays "Immigrant Song" as it was played in concert, up-tempo and with an extended solo in the middle.
