Great acoustic version with intro. JMHO, but well worth the listen.

been listening to this song lately. the translation to English isn't the best, according to the band. the song was inspired by Las Vegas where someone carried out a UFO prank by tying lights to balloons and releasing them over red rock canyon which towers over Las Vegas. people in Arizona may also be familiar with the phoenix lights, which may have been the same thing, but not sure. anyway, red rock canyon, particularly behind the sandstone cliffs is one of my favorite places. Ironically I would often see old WW2 era planes dive bombing over the canyon areas. I would often hike back there on my days off from work. the rustic sandstone canyons, mountains, and cliffs are unexplainable and pictures don't do them justice.

Can't get enough of this song. Bonham, JPJ, and Page are incredible. To my knowledge Bonzo never used a double bass drum like all these other metal guys use. I think even Jason Bonham uses the double to play his dad's songs.

Bonham is my favorite drummer of all time. My sister bought tickets to see Led Zeppelin but, sadly, he died before the show so she never got to see them

I agree about Bonham. Damn that sucks about missing the show. Their 1977 tour also ended early because of plant’s son. They peaked in 75. After that they really struggled a lot. But presence is an underrated album. Achilles last stand really shows what kind of band that they could have become. It mutated from a segment of dazed and confused that the played live and plant’s obsession with Morocco. Bonham and Page allegedly wanted to do a heavier album after in through the outdoor. Some of Pages riffs that he was working at the very end can be heard with Coverdale page.

I got to see Page and Plant perform a few decades ago. It exceeded my expectations

I never got see Page, JPJ, but I saw Robert Plant in 1988. I was 5 years old. I remember how exciting it was. the only thing I can really recall is that he did Back in the USSR as his encore. that was basically how I discovered the Beatles. I only recently went back and started listening to the Coverdale Page album and it is a lot better than I remember it being when I was a kid.
