zeppelin never did battle of evermore live till the last u.s. tour in 1977. jonesy did sandy denny's parts while he played triple necked guitar and jimmy page played mandolin. the only other time that they might have done it may have been on the bbc sessions, but i'm not too sure about that. the big bad blimp was was hell of a band in their prime, `72 to `75/`77. i've got a number of bootlegs that show how good they were. it's a never ending shame that the badn that had achieved so much ended the way that it did.
