"The forthcoming deluxe edition of Led Zeppelin II includes a never-before-released instrumental track that the band recorded in 1969 called "La La," which has just surfaced online in advance of its June 3rd release date.
The 40 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs of All Time
Led Zeppelin recorded the track, which remains unfinished and appears as a rough mix on the reissue, with the rest of the album, and it finds them exploring many different sounds. Guitarist Jimmy Page's acoustic strumming foreshadows some of the lighter sounds that would appear on the group's next record, Led Zeppelin III (a deluxe edition of which is also coming out June 3rd). The tune's four minutes also find the group dabbling in upbeat, organ-led rock and funky wah-wah guitar grooves. Toward the end of the track, when Page plays an echoey, bluesy solo, the voice of one band member, ostensibly Robert Plant, can be heard singing, "Yeeeah."
The group is at the starting point of an extensive reissue campaign, which they're launching with their first three albums in several extravagant configurations. Each deluxe edition contains a full bonus disc of previously unreleased Zeppelin recordings. Led Zeppelin features a full live set the group recorded Paris the same month that its sequel came out. Led Zeppelin II includes alternate mixes of five songs on the album, two instrumental versions of songs and "La La." And Led Zeppelin III boasts seven studio outtakes, instrumental work-in-progress versions of "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "Out on the Tiles" and a blues medley of "Key to the Highway" and "Trouble in Mind."
The group recently released a video for "Whole Lotta Love," with audio from one of the rough mixes on Led Zeppelin II. But while they are promoting the releases, Plant says the band will not reunite for any more concerts beyond the London one-off they did in 2007. Thinking back to that time, Plant recently told Rolling Stone that touring was not an option. "A tour would have been an absolute menagerie of vested interests and the very essence of everything that's shitty about big-time stadium rock," he said. "We were surrounded by a circus of people that would have had our souls on the fire [at our 2007 London concert]. I'm not part of a jukebox."

"The Yardbirds Special: This 2-hour program was devoted to the music and times of The Yardbirds, in advance of their appearance with original members Jim McCarty (drummer) and Top Topham (their guitarist in 1963) at The Regent Theatre in Arlington on Thursday night, the 12th. It features an hour-long interview with Jim McCarty in England conducted by phone this past Friday, September 6th.
The Yardbirds are an English rock band that had a string of hits in the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Over Under Sideways Down," and "Heart Full of Soul". The group is notable for having started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. A blues-based band that broadened its range into pop and rock, the Yardbirds had a hand in many electric guitar innovations of the mid-1960s, such as feedback,"fuzztone" distortion and improved amplification. After the Yardbirds broke up in 1968, their lead guitarist Jimmy Page founded what became Led Zeppelin."

Putting the vision of Jazz and Rock into a new context, Guy Harrison brings a swinging and pleasant rhythm of Jazz on his cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" and Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". This is definite relaxation music as Guy helps to relieve all tension with his smooth arrangement and performance on keys in blending these two compositions together for a sweet ride.
With a swaying rhythm and an electrifying display on instrumentation, Daniel Crawford builds a vibe of energy with the sound of Jazz fusion on "Kashmir". This epic journey of music is hear to liven your emotions as a blend of Rock and Jazz combine for an exciting new interpretation of a Led Zeppelin classic.
