Out on the Tiles
-originally from Led Zeppelin III

This is one of our favorite songs to play. It's one where we stray a bit from the original into a little jam. We also do our own ending. Since the original track just fades, Bassist Joe, insisted that we keep rockin' - for the fun of it. The solo at the end was a pure, spur-of-the-moment thing
that happened, while the rhythm guitar underneath it was an overdub. There is not a lot of info available about the recording of the original, so co-producer, Freddie and I had to get creative.
For our recording, the left guitar was played live on the Les Paul Custom through the Marshall JCM 800, The right guitar was a Fender Strat through a Fender "red knob" Twin known as "the evil Twin". As always, we employed the use of careful mic placement to achieve the tones.

Says Page:
"Now that is exactly what I was talking about: close-miking and distance-miking, that's ambient sound. Getting the distance of the time lag from one end of the room to the other and putting that in as well. The whole idea, the way I see recording, is to try and capture the sound of the room live and the emotion of the whole moment and try to convey that across. That's the very essence of it. And so, consequently you've got to capture as much of the room sound as possible."
