Frogtoon Music - Song Info: You Shook Me

The Song Was Recorded By Various Rock Musicians Including Jeff Beck On His Album Truth 1968 And Most Famously By English Rock Band Led Zeppelin On Their Debut Album Led Zeppelin 1969 . Since The Led Zeppelin Version Was Released In 1969 Months After Beck's He Accused Them Of Stealing His Idea. This Along With The Overall Similarity Between The Sound Of Led Zeppelin And That Of Truth Led To A Long Rift Between Beck And Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. 1 Beck And Page Had Been Friends For Years At That Point. 2 Interestingly Led Zeppelin Bassist And Keyboardist John Paul Jones Had Played The Organ On Beck's Version Of The Song As Well While Still A Session Musician. In An Interview He Gave In 1977 Page Commented “ Led Zeppelin Had Done Our First LP ... With “You Shook Me” And Then I Heard Beck Had Done “You Shook Me” ... I Was Terrified Because I Thought They’d Be The Same. But I Hadn’t Even Known He’d Done It And He Hadn’t Known That We Had. 3 ” In Another Interview Also Given By Page In 1977 He Elaborated “ Beck Had The Same Sort Of Taste In Music As I Did. That's Why You'll Find On The Early LPs We Both Did A Song Like "You Shook Me." It Was The Type Of Thing We'd Both Played In Bands. Someone Told Me He'd Already Recorded It After We'd Already Put It Down On The First Zeppelin Album. I Thought "Oh Dear It's Going To Be Identical " But It Was Nothing Like It Fortunately. I Just Had No Idea He'd Done It. It Was On Truth But I First Heard It When I Was In Miami After We'd Recorded Our Version. It's A Classic Example Of Coming From The Same Area Musically Of Having A Similar Taste. 2 ” For His Part Beck Has Said That He First Heard That Page Had Recorded The Same Song Was When Page Himself Played It To Him “ He Said "Listen To This. Listen To Bonzo This Guy Called John Bonham That I've Got." And So I Said I Would And My Heart Just Sank When I Heard "You Shook Me". I Looked At Him And Said "Jim What?" And The Tears Were Coming Out With Anger. I Thought "This Is A Piss-Take It's Got To Be." I Mean There's Truth Still Spinning On Everybody's Turntable And This Turkey's Come Out With Another Version. Oh Boy ... Then I Realised It Was Serious And He Did Have This Heavyweight Drummer And I Thought "Here We Go Again" - Pipped At The Post Kind Of Thing. 4 ” On The Led Zeppelin Recording Jones Double Tracked The Organ And The Electric Piano. Page Used His "backward Echo" Technique On This Towards The End With Robert Plant's Screaming Vocals And The Guitar. This Production Technique Involved Hearing The Echo Before The Main Sound Instead Of After It Achieved By Turning The Tape Over And Employing The Echo On A Spare Track Then Turning The Tape Back Over Again To Get The Echo Preceding The Signal. Page Had Originally Developed The Method When Recording The Single "Ten Little Indians" With The Yardbirds In 1967. 5 "You Shook Me" Was One Of The First Led Zeppelin Songs To Feature The Call-And-Response Effect Of Blues Style Music A Style Used Frequently By The Band On Subsequent Studio Tracks And Live In Concert. 1 Jimmy Page Uses A Slide On This Track And The Song Opens With A Blues Lick Reminiscent To That Of Elmore James. Perhaps Because The Song So Effectively Showcases The Talents Of All Four Band Members It Was Played Frequently During Early Led Zeppelin Concerts. From 1973 However The Song Was Dropped From The Band's Live Setlist As They Began To Incorporate More Material From Subsequent Albums Into Their On-Stage Performances. In Fact In Its Entirety The Song Was Played Until October 1969 And Until 1973 It Was From Time To Time Added As A Part Of "Whole Lotta Love" .
