Led Zeppelin performing Bring it on Home, Royal Albert Hall, 1970:
In 1969, Led Zeppelin recorded a version of the song, Bring it on home, for their album Led Zeppelin II. It is a song written by Willie Dixon and made famous by Sonny Boy Williamson II in 1963. It features a simple rhythm track and interplay between vocals and harmonica. The intro and outro were deliberate homages to the Sonny Boy Williamson song, while the rest of the track was an original Jimmy Page/Robert Plant composition. However, Dixon was not given a song writing credit for the track, leading to Arc Music, the publishing arm of Chess Records, bringing a lawsuit against Led Zeppelin for copyright infringement and winning an out-of-court settlement in the 1970s. Dixon himself did not benefit until he sued Arc Music to recover his royalties and copyrights. Plant's harmonica part was recorded in Vancouver. The band went on tour with the master tapes from Led Zeppelin II and now and then stopped into a studio to record parts. Led Zeppelin frequently performed this song live at Led Zeppelin concerts, first appearing as an encore on the band's 1970 U.K. tour. When played live, the song exhibited sharp interplay between Jimmy Page's guitar, John Bonham's drums and John Paul Jones' bass. This can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD, which features a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Another version dating from 1972 is included on the live release How the West was Won which listed the song as a medley on the cover. "Bring it on Home" was credited to Dixon, while the middle section, newly named "Bring it on Back," was credited to Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant. From 1973, the song was dropped from the band's live set list. However, the middle section riff was retained and served as the introduction to "Black Dog" on the band's 1973 tour of the United States, as documented on the concert film The Song Remains the Same. "Bring It on Home" was played at Jason Bonham’s wedding reception in May 1990 by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin.
