Going To California (Live)

on How The West Was Won (Live)

Lyrics

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going To California with an aching in my heart.

Page, ahhhh!! what a great moment. and yep i think many of us get here with an achin in our heart. we take chances, gratitude shows up!
This is such a flawless version. Page's acoustic playing off of JPJ's electric mandolin is just astounding. Plant is sheer joy as he weave the whole thing together. Great fun to watch on the DVD also. Great set here.
They won the west and beyond , years from now a whole new generations of fans will be introduce to one the greatest music that Led Zeppelin shared with us.
it has been a rough stretch of road though....

Led Zep IS the greatest rock band ever... bar none. Rolling Stones aren't even close
I completely agree - this is their most beautiful version of California.. . this version is completely amazing; but then again, everything zeppelin did was amazing. I'll hear a new b-side track every once & a while on the Zep staion here on pandora - they will do that at least. cheers!

Drew, My thoughts exactly on the rhythm.JPJ is a very talented musician overall. Notice though that he actually harmonizes with Page on some rudimentary leads. Sounds great! I've sen them 2-3 times live and it was rarely this tight. Good stuff.
I take it John Paul Jones was the one playing the rhythm acoustic guitar, with Jimmy Page on the electric lead - that part doesn't sound like a mandolin to me but I find it easy to believe that pandora isn't able to recognize an instrument, when played.

ZEPLIN is the #1 rock will live forever.
F**k yea. Zeppelin rules.
Mmm, this is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin song. This is a beautiful acoustic Led Zeppelin song including acoustic guitar/mando l i n duet on this song. There is no drums on this song.
A fantastic live version - showing the traditional acoustic skills of JP and RP. Wow - what a fine alternate take. Love the vocal and guitar work.
Just a band for the ages!!!!!!!!
Steve, this was recorded in the summer of '72. This is a good version, but as far as live versions go, I prefer the one on BBC Sessions (from '71) b/c Robert's voice is stronger and clearer there.
stevepfff
when was it recorded it's excellent
Ah, way too short!
Who else can sing like Robert? what a devine band!
AMEN to htunlin2000!
