I always wondered how far the band would have gone if Jimmy Page's first choice for lead singer, Terry Reid, would have been able to join. He is the one who suggested that Page give Robert Plant a tryout since Reid was under contract to another record company. If anyone gets a chance, check out his cover of Donovan's "Super Lungs, My Super Girl" on youtube. Guy had a helluva voice.

Like Zeppelin, but they butchered that song.
Live, spontaneous non studio jamming. Love it!
Saw them live, in '71.
