im not sure how exactly, but I'm almost certain this song has something to do with sex, drugs, Lord of the Rings, blues, and just a hint of Satanism

I guess some people's whole knowledge of Zeppelin is based on the DVD. That's kinda sad but it's not a crime to be young. The song is Black Mountain Side. Page attached White Summer to it in live performances. I like the White Summer part a lot.

Just because the chorus of Your Time Is Gonna Come cross-edits with it doesn't mean this song has lyrics... (eyes rolling).
It's an awesome instrumental btw.

barely anyone knows this really, but i got a cd on the roots of led zeppelin with a copy of MOJO. on this album was a lot of led zeppelin songs sung by the people that wrote the songs. among this was a song called "blackwater side" by bert jansch, it has the same melody, only it has words. in my time of dying was on that cd too.

I have to agree with lilfin, it is based around a Bert Jansch song. It comes from the sitar-like D-modal tuning (DADGAD) which Jimmy uses of a few yardbirds & zep songs, White Summer (Yardbirds 'Little Games', 1967), Midnight Moonlight (Zep left-over later called Swan Song) and most famously Kashmir. He was taught the tuning in 1966 by Al Stewart who taught him to play the Jansch song Black Waterside which it bears definite similarities to. I love this song.

White Summer (Black Mountain Side) is completely amazing live on the dvd. Jimmy Page is a god.

Okay, White Summer is the first portion of the song in the dvd, followed by Black Mountain Side. Black Mountain Side was released on led zeppelin's self-titled debut album. White Summer was never released until the Complete Studio recordings came out and was released alongside Black Mountain Side, because it fades into it, as shown in the live performance on the dvd.

This song seems really hard to play, but once you get used to the finger picking it's kinda easy. I wrote a Drum and Bass line for the song. It sounds freakin awesome.

I love this song.

It has a kind of creepy vibe to it.

Sounds beautiful though.

I like how Your Time is Gonna come rolls into this.

The White Summer bit was added on during live performances. The version of White Summer/Black Mountain Side on the Box Set is actually a live recording. The drumming adds a cool vibe to the song.

Actually it's a traditional folk song taught to Jansch by Anne Briggs - called Blackwater Side.

Page ripped it off via Jansch, and then claimed he'd written it!

To hear it sung properly check out Anne Briggs' or Sandy Denny's versions

fuck u ctid i dont think he claimed the whole thing they have alot of lawsuits that are pending still over ALLEGATIONS of plagiarism and in SOME of their songs they did have influence in them from somediff artists but led zeppelin are gods and can make any song from scratch and make it into a top song of all-time.. LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!
