Communication Breakdown

My choice for this week’s prompt is “Communication Breakdown”. It is actually one of the first songs the band Led Zeppelin every worked on. In was included on their debut album (Led Zeppelin) which was released in 1969. Sometimes this album is called Led Zeppelin I

Running 2:30 in its studio version, this is one of the more compact Led Zeppelin songs. In fact even in live sets the song often only was stretched out to 3:00 minutes. It became the anthem for frustrated youth in the 1970’s. One interesting fact about this song was the all four of the member of the band contributed to this song but Robert Plant was still under a previous contract so his name is not associated with the song.

Communication Background has a very unique guitar riff that Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said was difficult to play because it required quick downstrokes with a pick.

Found a 1969 Black and White Video of Led Zeppelin performing the song in Denmark

Next week the prompt will be Atoll, Island, Key, Lagoon, Peninsula, Reef, Tropical
