As in, the whole album? I never see them play deep cuts from that in concert!\* If it’s the whole album is there a link? 🙂

\*Except Dreamboat Annie, about half the time.

I can’t answer your question, but that song is very very similar to Led Zeppelin’s _Immigrant Song_.

Speaking of which, I heard Heart do a live version of “The Battle Evermore” on the radio the other day. Ann Wilson just tore that shit up…way better than Plant, IMHO…I’d love to see Zep with her singing!
