Misty Mountain Hop

Led Zeppelin — Misty Mountain Hop

The story behind

Led Zeppelin recorded Misty Mountain Hop in 1971 in a studio at Headley Grange, a house in Hampshire where they sometimes lived. The song is a mid-tempo track with keyboard and guitar almost equally, giving it a more melodic sound. John Bonham plays a strong drumming, one of the most notable of his career. The guitar riff repeats several times, with a base that recalls funk. At two minutes and eleven seconds, the band loses a bit, but decides not to re-record. The lyrics seem to tell a story of an encounter with the police after smoking marijuana in a park, and of abandoning the Misty Mountains, a place where it is said the spirits fly. There are references to The Hobbit by Tolkien, something that also appears in other songs by the band. The song was played in concerts between 1972 and 1973, and also at the Knebworth festival of 1979. Later, they performed it at the 40th anniversary of Atlantic Records and at the O2 Arena in 2007. ↓ Skip to chords
