WRITTEN:
By Page / Plant / Jones / Bonham. From the album Led Zeppelin 2, 1969
LIVE:
The only performance I know of was at a show on 7/8/87 in Sacramento. That version
was later bootlegged on 7'' and CD.
Jane's fan Mark L. recently wrote in and told me this cool little story: I saw that you show the only performance of that song in Sacramento 1987. I heard them actually play it (I believe the first time publicly and totally by accident) at the Club Lingerie in Hollywood in early December 1986 before they'd even released their first album. They were on stage before their set trying to tune their instruments and the DJ refused to turn down the taped music. Perry kept pleading "could you please turn down the music?" but to no avail. So then Whole Lotta Love started playing and Dave started playing along with it, then turned up his floor monitor to overpower it (tuning his guitar all the while) then Perry started singing along and screaming over Plant's vocals, then Steve and Eric started playing and the crowd went fucking bananas. The sound guy capitulated and turned off the tape. Best cover I've ever heard."
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Years later, Perry recorded a dance/techno/electronica/whatever version of this
song. It was featured on his 'best of' cd, Rev, and he also did it live
a few times.
ORIGINAL LYRICS:
You need cooling
Baby I'm not fooling
I'm gonna send you
Back to schooling
Way down inside
Honey you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love
Wanna whole lotta love
You've been learning
Baby I been learning
All them good times
Baby baby I've been yearning
Way way down inside
Honey you need I
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love
Wanna whole lotta love
You've been cooling
Baby I've been drooling
All the good times
I've been misusing
Way way down inside
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you every inch of my love
Gonna give you my love
Wanna whole lotta love
Way down inside woman
You need love
