      @@gywilmsen2409 You're right. But I believe the banjo here is Bob Shane's 4 string Vega . At 1 :55 one can hear in the background Dave Guard's 12 string Gibson.

    Love this haunting version by Nick, Bob, and Dave. Never thought about it before but it sounds like Bob Shane might be playing the 4 string banjo on this one and it sounds like Dave is doing some of the lead guitar picking. Dave is singing that low "joker part" as he described it. Nice harmony.

    • @geoffreybonwick8999
      @geoffreybonwick8999 4 роки тому +1

      Same. First time i have noticed it. Bob plunked on the banjo. And it sounds like a 12 string doing a bit of noodling, which would be Dave.

    I don't know if this resonates with anyone else: but as a gay man this song always carried a strong significance for me.
    As the story. goes, the Father and Brother have nothing for the narrator, suggesting they've rejected him because of his sexuality. However, his sweetheart, sung by a man, provides salvation during the last chorus.
    Honestly I don't care if You have a different interpretation; good for you. That's the beauty of music and art.

    I remember someone had this record, and i used to play it alot when i was 13. I seem to remember a song with nonsenseacle lyrics, it would start of with a single accapella voice singing "Ominees la la la, ominees la la la" and then just take off jammin'. Had a lot of fun with that tune i remember.

      I always laugh at how some songs take on weird names or even lyrics because someone didn't understand something (in this case, a gallows pole) and changes it to what he or she THOUGHT it was based on hearing it wrong.

    True enough, the Zep version is excellent. Unfortunately, Page et al. did what he/they did with a surprizing number of "their" songs: they stole it, taking credit for writing and composing lyrics and music they simply ripped-off from others.

      Christopher LuhnLZ didn't "steal" it as blatantly as they did to other old folk and blues songs. It is credited "Traditional, arranged by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant" in the LZ Complete sheet music book (Superhype Publishing 1973). The Trio version is credited to one A. Yagodka (?) and Nick Reynolds. So in case you thought otherwise, the Trio were as much or worse thieves than Zeppelin.

      +domino48094 The concept of stealing in music seems to be a construct of the industrialization of music. Prior to copy write one would write variations on masters themes as a way of cutting ones teeth in composing...listen to Goldberg variations..
      Metalica would have you believe one can own music...lol
