Thanks Geir!

I never knew it before today, but it turns out The Doors also did a great version of this song live on April 1, 1967 - 45 years ago today:

Don`t say that!! I know they did some wrong like a lot of other artists and record companies did back in the
day but one thing is for certain they sure made those songs better than the originals.
 I always was and will be a Zep head  and i was appalled by the songs they sorta cloned but they have a
ton that they didn`t too.

In all fairness The Doors ripped off their own song doing Stairway to Heaven.

That`s Soul Kitchen!!  ;D ;D
