Led Zeppelin – No Quarter

Led Zeppelin – No Quarter – Live at Madison Square Garden, 1973.

What’s really great about the band is they are authentic. You listen to the studio version and say “yea that’s an interesting tune”. But live this is a whole different epic universe. And that’s really a testament to the band!

You don’t even have to be high for this to take you to another level. They truly were electric magic! There’s so much going on here!

Lyrics:
Close the door, put out the light
No, they won’t be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don’t you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold

They’re wearing steel that’s bright and true
They carry news that must get through, oh
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter, oh

Walking side-by-side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh
The snow drives back the foot that’s slow
The dogs of doom are howling more

They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you, oh, oh, oh
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
Yeah
Without quarter, quarter, yeah (without quarter)
Without quarter, quarter, quarter
Taking no quarter
Oh, oh, oh (hear the dogs of doom) (no, never quarter)
I hear the dogs of doom are howling more
