Some Of Robert Plant's Lyrics In This Song Were Inspired By The Work Of J.R.R. Tolkien Author Of The Lord Of The Rings. The References Are To The Adventures Of The Hobbit Frodo Baggins As He Goes To "the Darkest Depths Of Mordor" And Encounters "Gollum And The Evil One." Plant Later Admitted In An Audio Documentary That He Was Embarrassed By The Tolkien References As They Don't Make All That Much Sense - A Fair Maiden Wouldn't Be Found In Mordor And Gollum Would Want Nothing To Do With Her Anyway Since His Only Concern Is The Precious Ring. This Is One Of Led Zeppelin's Most Enduring Songs But They Never Performed It Live From Start To Finish While The Band Was Active. It Was In Their Set When Zeppelin Reunited For A One-Off Concert At The O2 Arena In London On December 10 2007. John Bonham's Son Jason Filled In On Drums At That Show. What John Bonham Played As Percussion To Supplement His Drums On This Song Is Not Clear. It Sounds Like Bongos But Has Been Reported To Be A Plastic Garbage Pail Or A Guitar Case. Source Song Facts
