"Dazed and Confused" came to Led Zeppelin's 1969 debut by a winding road. Jake Holmes wrote it in 1967 as a folk-rock song for his own first album, and though some listeners took it for a bad acid trip, he says it's about a girl who can't make up her mind to end things. The Yardbirds caught him playing it that August, reshaped it and made it a centerpiece of their shows, with Jimmy Page on guitar.

When Page put his new band together in 1968, he brought it along, with fresh words and a new vocal line for Robert Plant. Page produced, Glyn Johns engineered, and John Paul Jones and John Bonham help turn it into a slow, heavy, menacing crawl that erupts whenever Page decides to let it. It became one of their signature songs and a fixture of their concerts for years.
