This one I did yesterday and completed this morning. I used to get requests for this song from somebody back in 2018 when I did Zeppelin's "Kashmir." It's hard for me to do these to order, but I have done requests in the past, although it might be anywhere from a few weeks or months to several years later.

From the 1982 Led Zeppelin album, Coda, this is "Poor Tom." It was recorded during the Led Zeppelin III sessions in 1970, but never included on the album. Even twelve years late, this was a treat to hear. In Through The Out Door (1979) was the last studio album the band would ever make, giving us a glimpse of what an 80's Led Zeppelin might sound like. Coda worked double time as an album that contained three unused songs from the final album's recording sessions (technically making them the final studio songs) and earlier unused music, mostly recorded in 1970 and 1972 like "Poor Tom."

There is an incessant drive towards suspense in this cut that propels it to its conclusion, a dark version of "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp." This gives it cinematic potential and was a perfect choice for this video project.
