Paul from Southern Pines, NcA beautiful song,.The song has a Folk-Rock flair, which was the way Keith Relf wanted to go musically. In April 1968, when The Yardbords were in New York, they recorded it (April 1968), but with different lyrics by Paul from Southern Pines, NcIt was played by The Yardbirds in 19, though it was not recorded on any Studio Album.I heard this version before the Led Zeppelin version and fell in love with the song. Krista from Chicago, IlBig Head Todd and the Monsters does an awesome cover of "Tangerine" on their album "Live Monsters".It's very faint but just enough to make you feel like you are right there in the studio and make your heart melt :) Therese from Ohio, UsaAfter I don't know how many times listening to this song, I just now heard the counting-off at the beginning, right after the fade to silence.Thanks for being a big part of my college years It put's you in a state of what you feel when you loose someone you lover very much.…A Totally Dark, Desolate, Lonely place at that time of your life It's amazing, how an artist can have the power to make you feel this effect. Tpolito from La.Please listen to the short lead solo by JP in "Tangerine" with headphones and close your eyes.Bob From Canada from AlbertaI always wished I was born 10 years earlier.Tangerine teleports me to that time.


Although Pages wrote it himself all four Led Zep members shine on this classic. The pedal steel guitar goes well with all other guitars here. Gary D from MaWhat a fantastic deep cut.It is not easy to ascertain the above, as the remaining members of The Yardbirds haven't spoken about the subject so far. This would explain his veto against the release of the original song. Since then, the version from The Yardbirds has leaked onto the internet, and Page has been accused of ripping off a Yardbirds composition, simply changing the majority of the lyrics (probably initially written by Keith Relf) in order to avoid any problem with the other members of his previous group. It was supposed to be included on the Cumular Limit compilation (which was released in 2000), together with other materials from the same sessions, but interestingly enough, Page vetoed the release of the song. This was recorded on Apat one of the last studio sessions for The Yardbirds, under the title "Knowing That I'm Losing You." This first version performed by The Yardbirds, featured music almost identical to "Tangerine" by Led Zeppelin, but with different lyrics (vocals by Keith Relf), and was never officially released.
