Harpswell Hootenanny '13, part 3: Led Zeppelin b/w the Who

Continuing the bounty of Harpswell Hootenanny '13 with some classic rock from classic rockers:

A side is "Down By the Seaside" from Led Zeppelin's grand, (somehow) obscure and (to my ear) finest release, "Physical Graffitti" from 1975.  (I think that rock criticism demands one use the term "sprawling" here, so insert here as need be). Who could say no to this particular deep cut?  Paul B brought it to the Hoot-ers and locked the whole thing down with bubbly Wurlitzer 200a electronic piano.  Roger and I played guitars (mine often tremoloed, plus the crappy solo, and his bright and fancy), and Roady and Dillo set the languid pace. 

B side is "The Kids Are Alright" which came from the mod phase of the Who, ten long years prior to the Zep tune.  This was another one where I got to sit back and watch the magic happen, particularly Roady and Dillo as the Moon/ Entwistle rhythm section.  Paulie B appropriately took up a 6-string Rickenbacker while Roger played the other guitar (the Epiphone Sheraton semi-hollow, I believe) and sang.  I added some harmonies and tambourine and acoustic guitar during production, as Pete Townsend and Kit Lambert would've wanted, and left it at that.  We used to play this back in high school, me and Dillo and Stag and Maff and Andy, and it feels comfortable and ever so good to do it fair justice....
