St. Tristan’s Sword (rough mix)

This rock instrumental was recorded during sessions for Led Zeppelin III but remained unreleased until 2015, when it was included on the deluxe reissued version of Coda. Jimmy Page told Mojo: "'St. Tristan's Sword' is the sort of thing that we'd do when we were playing live, not that that track came out from a live thing. But we'd be doing stuff like that, veering off into something and then come back (into the main part of the song). I'd had the riff and the changes to that and I thought, 'Let's just try it.' There are two takes of it and that's it, then we moved on to something else. But it's got a little charm of its own. On this version of Coda, it works. It might not have ever come out otherwise." source
