Talk:That's the Way (Led Zeppelin song)

Proof of live key changes?
The current article says the "song was always performed a half step higher than studio versions" I doubt this is true, since a tuning different from standard is necessary to play the song (played in the key of G, and supposed live versions would be in Ab). The melody wouldn't be possible on a standard or specially tuned guitar for this song, and the mandolin would specifically need different tuning. When watching the Earl's Court performance, the hand positions for both Page and Jones are the same for when the song is in G. The only possible way the song could be half a step higher live would be if Jones tuned his mandolin half a step higher than standard and Page did the same (except not for "standard" tuning, but the tuning necessary in the studio version).

Basically, it's very unlikely this is true. 67.162.73.67 (talk) C33 Four, January 12, 2009.

Here's the deal... the studio recording is in Gb, and they played it in G live. I listen to the album, then watch a live video, and I can DEFINATELY tell it's lower on the album- but it's not G. 71.168.63.20 (talk) 02:04, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

What's this song about?
I came here hoping to find out what this song was about. The article is good when it talks about the music etc, but doesn't say anything regarding the lyrics.129.94.6.28

I laughed when I saw that picture. --FK65 22:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

American tour comment
Can someone explain, defend, or source the comment about the lyrics being about how they were treated on American tours? I don't think that's exactly clear from the quoted lyric. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.227.129.47 (talk) 02:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Subjective, Bad-Style, Blah Blah
"Like several of the tracks on the album, it is an acoustic song and is particularly noted as being one of the most gentle and mellow compositions in the entire Led Zeppelin catalogue"

This should just be completely removed. --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 00:04, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Pedal Steel
The article mentions "steel guitar" and the instrument is audible throughout the track. The personnel credits, however, omit it. While the two writers whom the article credits with identifying the personnel may not have included the instrument in their own persinnel lsiting, it should be included here regardless. 2603:7000:3400:29E1:E424:2524:D020:1058 (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
