According to Jimmy Page this song would not have emerged had it not been for the particularly informal live-in environment at Headley Grange where it was recorded: Some of the things that happened there, like Boogie With Stu where Stu turns up and plays a piano thats totally unplayable, were incredible. That was too good to miss because Stu wouldnt record, he wouldnt do solo stuff. All of these things wouldnt end up on albums as far as other people were concerned, but they did with us. It has been reported that Plant played guitar on the track (Page playing mandolin). The slapping guitar came from an overdub session with an ARP guitar synthesizer. Bonhams drumming was improvised in the studio. The song was never performed live. https://youtube/watch?v=7eY1oQMS7jw
