In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm looking into three versions of the classic song When the Levee Breaks. Most people know this as a Led Zeppelin song, and rightfully so. But, the Led Zeppelin song is actually a cover of a song first recorded in 1929. I'll take a brief look at the historical context and original recording. Then, we'll listen to Led Zeppelin's classic version. Finally, we'll enjoy a live recording of the song as performed by A Perfect Circle. I hope you enjoy! (Episode 684)
