Songs of the Day II: 70's Rock

I recently had a request from a reader for some 70's rock.  I can dig it.

Legend has it that when the Eagles were working on their last album "Long Road Out Of Eden", one of Glenn Frey's kids found an old video of them on YouTube performing on a Dutch tv show in 1973.  Frey had forgotten about the song they performed and reminded Don Henley of it.  The band reworked the song and it became the lead single from their new album.  Here is the original performance from 1973 of "How Long":



And the 2008 version:


Led Zeppelin, "Since I Been Loving You"


Bad Company, "Ready For Love". A little shaky on the audio side, but vintage:


Steve Miller Band, "Jet Airliner"


Doors, "L.A. Woman", directed by Ray Manzarek
