Achilles last stand

Led Zeppelin's Rock-Epic. One of the best Rock songs ever written. A journey through "Sandy lands" & "Treading the air above the din".

The song was dropped after only 2 or 3 times during the Page & Plant tour of 1995. The song was so powerful they felt it surpassed all perfomances of '77 & '80.
