Does anybody know where to find a decent tab for the harmonica riffs in 'When the Levee Breaks?' I've got to do a group ensemble piece as part of a course I'm taking and we've chosen this as our song to cover.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

I was under the impression that they overdubbed this several times to get the effect on the song and that it really was not reproducible with a single harp.

Has anyone actually played a version true to the song?

yeah i have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C80c0zJ_NmQ

the zep version i play in open G, when i play harp with a band i use whatever PA mic and back off it. come in close at times but never long enough to feed back. a good band never does the same song the same way twice IMO.

I read in the Zep Biopic Hammer of the Gods that the harp
was put in the final mix backwards
