Also, the song has the epic feel of Tommy’s opening “Overture.” Of course, when the song slows down and Robert Plant comes in with “I had a dream…” you know that you’re listening to Zep. Many of Zeppelin’s peers covered early blues songs, but few of them captured the sense of dread that Zep did here. Is it their greatest song?
