The non-album tracks by Led Zeppelin all rated and reviewed. The unreleased songs and demos aren't included.
10 Ribs & All/Carrot Pod Pod: 8/10 a pretty cool reference mix with a nice piano emphasis.
Baby, Come on Home: 8/10 a pleasingly intense and gripping song, despite not being massively memorable.
Hey Hey What Can I Do: 8/10 the only non-album track ever released by the band while they were active was a big success thanks to its understated vibe and intelligent mix of quiet and loud.
Jennings Farm Blues: 7/10 a typically good but still typical mix of guitar instrumentals.
Key to the Highway/Trouble in Mind: 7/10 although it's a quiet and spare once, I still quite like it. Robert Plant's vocals always accommodate for the absence of heavy riffs anyway.
LA Drone: 6/10 a decent opening to their live DVD, although it's a bit too short.
La La: 7/10 a skilled albeit typical Led Zeppelin instrumental. They are terrific instrumentalists but we kind of already knew that.
Somethin' Else: 8/10 lyrically it's nothing special. Musically it's an absolute blast.
St Tristan's Sword: 7/10 another cool instrumental track, although it's not the band at their peak.
Sugar Mama: 8/10 although the lyrics are simplistic, when it comes to blues rock Led Zeppelin always, always deliver.
Sunshine Woman: 7/10 a pretty decent track with all 4 of them on form.
The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair: 8/10 with Jimmy Page unleashing full-on guitar heaven and Robert Plant singing with that unreal vocal, it's naturally a blast.
Travelling Riverside Blues: 7/10 a very decent, if slightly going-the-motions, track.
White Summer/Black Mountain Side: 8/10 Jimmy Page is a master guitarist and this track certainly shows that, although it's a bit too long.
