Enjoyed this one muchly ... what a start ! Good work
 
Steve

Guitars, that mellotron thing, panning placements - all work! great loose feel throughout, loose in a good way. If this were my mix I'd be tempted to turn the lead vocal up and the guitar solo as well. The vocal performance is too good to bury it with a volume that is lower than the panned guitars. Just a thought - I'm not familiar with the original so maybe that's the original mix you were modelling?
 
It all brings a smile to one's face, doesn't it?  Good job!

Glenn - thanks so much - I think Mike would love the compliment.
 
Steve, thanks - it was fun to do.
 
Tom, thanks. I don't do any mixing on these tunes - just write them and play guitar. The mellotron sound you mention is me playing a Godin LGX through a Roland GR-30. Thanks again.
 

Liked the sound of the vocalist.  You didn't try to mimic Robert Plant, which is always welcome. :D:D  One of my favorite bands of all time.  Weirdly I have never heard this song.

Nice - Zep but not Zep.   Not easy to pull off.   But well done...    Gotta agree with the vocal level comments though - IMO should be up just a notch.
 
 

Great stuff Mark - really enjoyed this

great stuff Mark!  cool intro! - all of it
 
nice guitar work - great tone and playing!

eph - thanks man - appreciate you taking the time.
 
steve - thanks. Mike - who sang this, also mixed this. It always seems like musicians mix their tracks the loudest in a mix when collaborating. I guess Mike where his voice was in the mix.
 
daryl - thanks so much - means a lot coming from you.
 
Beagle - appreciate it.

Real cool Zep/Plant thing. Great distortion on the GTR.
If they didn't do this one, they should have.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert

Thanks Bert.
