@Anthony Mariello. I am envious beyond words. Unfortunatel y I wasn't allowed to go to concerts when I was seven, but at least my aunt introduced me to their music back then.
To find a queen without a king they say she plays guitar and cries...and sings, la la la la

first heard this (1990) at a friends house on his parents 8-track player. was a true blessing.
A nice alternative to Stairway.

the golden era of rock and roll...of all modern music for that matter. yea I miss those days but revel in vast library of musical genius they all created and left for all of us for all time. I still have all my vinyl,.... pull one from the sleeve, gently disc wash, magna-brush the turntable, drop the needle and sit back as I get taken back all the while marveling at the cover art. Makes me wanna cry sometimes but always makes me feel good
One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs for sure!
sryanvh
Love this. Makes me miss my hometown (Anaheim, CA) every time.
best song ever???
Memories....
Allen when I listen to the classic rock I always think of you.. good times. I truley miss it.. How I wish you were here.
Pink Floyd mood.

never again will music be so good and full of wonder.
Great lyrics and phenomenol guitar work by Page. Lyrics paint a gorgeous vision. Really started to appreciate this song even more as I got older and tried to learn it on the guitar.

This song reminds me of the summer I met my future husband he had just moved to california from North Carolina "sigh!"
Mmm, "Going to California" is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin song especially one of my favorite acoustic Led Zeppelin song and in fact it does makes me cry a lot every time when this acoustic Led Zeppelin song comes on the radio and also when this acoustic Led Zeppelin song comes on my I-Pod when I workout on the tread mill or when I do my own show and it's good to waltz to this acoustic Led Zeppelin song a lot, hmmm.
pathetics. :) eat chiken
