Dancing Days - Live 1972; Remaster

This was inspired by an Indian tune Jimmy Page and Robert Plant heard while traveling in Bombay. When they returned home and recorded the track, the band was so ecstatic with the result that they ran out on to the lawn of their Stargroves studio and danced to it, which gave them the idea for the title and lyrical content.

The song is about summer. It's very light and relaxed for Zeppelin.

If you listen closely, you can hear John Bonham's drum pedal squeaking.
