No Picture Mauro Wanna Be	#1 by Mauro Leon at Jan 3, 1972 at 12:56 PM EST
	Because Your Time Is Gonna Come rolls into Black Mountain Sidel. Then it's Instrumental.

No Picture Phillip Average	#2 by Phillip Nguyen at Jan 23, 1973 at 10:02 PM EST
	I like how Your Time is Gonna come rolls into this. The White Summer bit was added on during live performances. The version of White Summer/Black Mountain Side on the Box Set is actually a live recording. The drumming adds a cool vibe to the song.

No Picture Will Wanna Be	#3 by Will Hay at Dec 29, 1975 at 11:10 PM EST
	dazed and confused was a yardbirds also, im pretty sure that kashmir wasnt.

No Picture Joey Wanna Be	#4 by Joey at Mar 15, 1981 at 3:56 AM EST
	fuck u ctid i dont think he claimed the whole thing they have alot of lawsuits that are pending still over ALLEGATIONS of plagiarism and in SOME of their songs they did have influence in them from somediff artists but led zeppelin are gods and can make any song from scratch and make it into a top song of all-time.. LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY ZEPPELIN!!!!!!!!!

No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#11 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Dec 9, 1993 at 2:14 AM EST
	What's that?

No Picture Murders in the Average	#12 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Apr 22, 1997 at 6:49 PM EST
	im not sure how exactly, but I'm almost certain this song has something to do with sex, drugs, Lord of the Rings, blues, and just a hint of Satanism

No Picture The Guitar Guy Lead Player	#13 by The Guitar Guy at Sep 19, 2005 at 5:33 PM EST
	barely anyone knows this really, but i got a cd on the roots of led zeppelin with a copy of MOJO. on this album was a lot of led zeppelin songs sung by the people that wrote the songs. among this was a song called "blackwater side" by bert jansch, it has the same melody, only it has words. in my time of dying was on that cd too.

No Picture chOxY Rhythm Player	#14 by chOxY at Oct 23, 2005 at 6:32 AM EST
	Actually it's a traditional folk song taught to Jansch by Anne Briggs - called Blackwater Side. Page ripped it off via Jansch, and then claimed he'd written it! To hear it sung properly check out Anne Briggs' or Sandy Denny's versions

No Picture Dr. Jack Average	#15 by Dr. Jack at Jan 11, 2006 at 9:52 AM EST
	I have to agree with lilfin, it is based around a Bert Jansch song. It comes from the sitar-like D-modal tuning (DADGAD) which Jimmy uses of a few yardbirds & zep songs, White Summer (Yardbirds 'Little Games', 1967), Midnight Moonlight (Zep left-over later called Swan Song) and most famously Kashmir. He was taught the tuning in 1966 by Al Stewart who taught him to play the Jansch song Black Waterside which it bears definite similarities to. I love this song.

No Picture by fires light Rhythm Player	#16 by by fires light she cried at Apr 7, 2006 at 6:27 AM EST
	Song is completely ripped from Bert Jansch

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#17 by micheal mceachern at May 23, 2006 at 3:35 AM EST
	what about white summer???

No Picture Sarah McKagan Musical Genius	#18 by Sarah McKagan (AKA - Lady Rock 'n' Roll) at May 27, 2006 at 12:45 AM EST
	I guess some people's whole knowledge of Zeppelin is based on the DVD. That's kinda sad but it's not a crime to be young. The song is Black Mountain Side. Page attached White Summer to it in live performances. I like the White Summer part a lot.

No Picture Johan Average	#19 by Johan Soderberg at Jun 4, 2006 at 6:16 PM EST
	If you guys want to hear my version of White Summer/Black Mountainside: www.purevolume.com/seannielsen

No Picture Terence Average	#20 by Terence Taylor at Oct 14, 2006 at 1:46 AM EST
	This song seems really hard to play, but once you get used to the finger picking it's kinda easy. I wrote a Drum and Bass line for the song. It sounds freakin awesome.

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#21 by lewi broadway at Dec 1, 2006 at 12:35 AM EST
	Okay, White Summer is the first portion of the song in the dvd, followed by Black Mountain Side. Black Mountain Side was released on led zeppelin's self-titled debut album. White Summer was never released until the Complete Studio recordings came out and was released alongside Black Mountain Side, because it fades into it, as shown in the live performance on the dvd.

No Picture JJ Average	#22 by JJ at Dec 10, 2006 at 3:56 PM EST
	on led aeppelin 1 it says that the name of this song is White Summer/Black Mountain Side. it also calls this WHite summer on the dvd

No Picture goofy Rhythm Player	#23 by goofy at Apr 27, 2007 at 5:25 PM EST
	White Summer (Black Mountain Side) is completely amazing live on the dvd. Jimmy Page is a god.

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#24 by lewi broadway at May 30, 2007 at 4:27 PM EST
	I love this song. It has a kind of creepy vibe to it. Sounds beautiful though.

No Picture Cohen Wanna Be	#25 by Cohen B at Sep 26, 2007 at 8:34 AM EST
	Just because the chorus of Your Time Is Gonna Come cross-edits with it doesn't mean this song has lyrics... (eyes rolling). It's an awesome instrumental btw.
