Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

This is a live performance by British rock band Led Zeppelin performing their version of the song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". The performance is from a recording for "Danmarks Radio" in Denmark. The performance is from 1969 and it was in front of a very little crowd before the group reached stadium rock status, what a lucky bunch of young people seeing a band like this up close like this.
The song is a folk song written by Anne Berdon in the late 1950s. The most famous versions of the songs were done by Joan Baez on her 1962 album "Joan Baez, In Concert, Part 1". And of course Led Zeppelin who's version appeared on the band's 1969 self titled debut album.
It's a really good folk rock song that tells a story and feels traditional while still rocking. It's a great composition by Jimmy Page, a great song and a great performance.

Enjoy ; )

Guns N' Roses - Patience

This is the music video to the classic folk rock song "Patience" by Guns N' Roses. The song appears on the band's "G N' R Lies" album from 1989 which is also the last album before the band started going through line-up changes. The song peaked at no. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music was written by rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin and the lyrics were done by Axl Rose.
The song doesn't feature any percussion. But in live performances the band would often play it with drums and electric instruments. They would also use keyboards on these live performances. Embeded below is a live performance like this.

The song has been covered by many artists who especially love playing the song live. It's been done live by artists like: Carrie Underwood, John Mayer with Maroon 5 and also in various ways featuring Slash and different singers.
It's a great ballad/acoustic folk rock song, and the lyrics are very good and well written as well. A gem amongst GNR songs.

Enjoy ; )
