Thankfully, Jimmy Page made a few personnel changes to the Yardbirds (later renamed Led Zeppelin), as it’s painfully apparent here that the 1968 Yardbirds lineup lacked the vocal talent and rhythm section to pull off “Dazed and Confused.”

Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused feels like sorcery and here Jimmy Page is straight up exorcising Les Paul with that bow.

Origins of Dazed and Confused, Dazed and Confused mostly credited with Led Zeppelin's unique sound and approach but its story is not like what you might possibly think. It dates back to The Yardbirds era when Jimmy Page was a member of the band. “We were quite stale and stuck creatively” when Page joined, Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty remembers today. “We were still playing really similar things as we had with Jeff Beck. We had very few new things and running a bit low on ideas of songs to cover or songs that we wanted to do.” Inspiration finally struck at that Village Theater show. Before his band’s set, McCarty stood at the side of the stage watching Holmes play. “Now and then you go up and you see who’s playing with you,” McCarty says. “Jake Holmes was playing with two other guys. They were playing sort of jazzy things. I thought the music was quite pleasant, but didn’t think much of it. Then all of a sudden they started to play this riff. And I thought, oh that’s a very good riff, very haunting, quite interesting.” The riff was Holmes’ new song “Dazed and Confused.” “The following day I went down and got his album at Bleecker Bob’s record store,” says McCarty. “I had a little record player on the road and I played it to Jimmy and the guys and then we said, we should work out a version.” The band agreed, mesmerized by that same guitar line. “The song had all the feeling of our old material,” McCarty says. “That descending riff is very haunting; it creates an atmosphere. That’s the sort of music we liked, music that’s a little bit dark.” The Yardbirds quickly added “Dazed and Confused” to their live shows and even performed it once on a French TV show. But, in one of music history’s great missed opportunities, they never recorded the song. Indeed, the Yardbirds’ cover of “Dazed and Confused” would likely be forgotten today had the band’s latest hotshot guitarist not remembered the song when he began putting together his next group. They were billed as “The New Yardbirds” on their first tour, but the name didn’t stick long. The quartet Jimmy Page formed with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham soon adopted their own moniker: Led Zeppelin. In those early days, though, “New Yardbirds” was not that far off as a description. The group had not yet found its own identity—the four guys barely even knew each other—and this was still very much Page’s show (notably, the press release announcing Led Zeppelin’s formation spends fourteen paragraphs on Page alone before even mentioning Plant, Jones, or Bonham). Ever the taskmaster, Page decided after only a few shows that the band should record an album. He would select the songs himself. “For material we obviously went right down to our blues roots,” Page told Rolling Stone in 1975. “I still had plenty of Yardbirds riffs left over. On the first LP I was still heavily influenced by the earlier days. I think it tells a bit too.” Led Zeppelin’s recording of “Dazed and Confused” shares most of its musical cues with the Yardbirds version, including the violin bow. The lyrics, though, are almost entirely different. Page replaced most of the original Jake Holmes lines with his own (though his new lyrics did not appreciably change the song’s meaning). None of the four were proper songwriters yet—Plant in particular was contributing very little at that point, just singing what he was told to—but Page could paraphrase well enough. The band recorded “Dazed and Confused” during sessions for their debut album. It’s been said that limited time in the studio has rarely been used more profitably. The whole album took under 30 hours, with Page controlling every aspect: financing the record, dictating the songs and arrangements, and producing it himself.

A very young and hungry Led Zeppelin performing “Dazed and Confused” in Paris, 1969. This was a promotional visit for the band and, as is evident in this clip, Zeppelin was playing at a very high level, to demonstrate what was to be the next dominant force of the 70s. This song, was written by Jimmy Page while he was still in The Yardbirds. #LedZeppelin

The Yardbirds 🎩🪄 Heart Full Of Soul (1965) Singer: Keith Relf, cool voice, cooler shades.😎 Jeff Beck takes this approach; another version features Jimmy Page: the same song, but with different guitar DNA. And yes, anyone who wears sunglasses is a friend of mine. 😎🎸
