Great party song back in the day. I have to say I love No Quarter also.
You may find this interesting, it was posted two days ago on a music website:

One of the many tracks cut by Jimmy Page in his pre-Led Zeppelin days as a session man has surfaced on a television trailer for the BBCs weather forecast.
Mojo reports Ive Got Everything You Need Babe by British band The Fenmen was released in 1965 following the bands split with frontman Bern Elliott.
Page, who estimates he recorded three sessions per day in 1964 and 1965, identified his presence on the track when he saw the trailer on television.
I heard the track the other day while I was watching TV, Page told Mojo last fall. I thought, Oh. That sound familiar. Then, all of a sudden theres a solo that comes in and I go, That is me! Its something that I would have forgotten about had I not heard it again. In fact, if they hadnt left the solo on the trailer, I may not have known Id even played on that track.
Page recalls playing on records by artists as diverse as The Kinks, The Who and Petula Clark.
I did so many sessions and not all of them were big,” says Page. But I was on all of those big sessions with Tony Hatch and I did a string of records with Petula Clark that did really well. You know what? I think I might even have been on a Benny Hill track, thats how varied things were! he laughs, recalling sessions that took place prior to his joining The Yardbirds in the summer of 1966.
These days, Page has been busy working on the planned Led Zeppelin reissues project, which has been scheduled to begin this year.
The first of the Led Zeppelin reissues comprising of Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin III will be released this year, wrote Page on his website. Ive also been working on some of my own material from the archives that will be unleashed in 2014.
The guitarist recently confirmed that the reissues will include unreleased material by the band.
Heart does a good version of "Rock and Roll" (and a great version of "Long Tall Sally / I'm Down"). But I've never heard them do "Stairway to Heaven".
“Since I’ve Been Loving You”, one of my fav guitar solos. The dynamics in that song still give me chills.
I think 'Dancing Days' has the best beat of any song, EVER: Dancing Days
'Physical Graffiti' is overall the best Zepp album.
And this DVD is a MUST HAVE.. Tons of great live footage in here:
It was recorded in 2012 at the Kennedy Center for a ceremony honoring Zeppelin.

Oooops, also ‘Dazed and Confused’ as well. Love the simple yet effective bass intro..
Yes! That’s awesome. Thanks!
Led Zep and Jimmy Page really damaged our nation and world.
Drug taking and crazy occultism, what could go wrong?
“I don’t think there are 50 songs by Led Zep than can be considered good much less great. They had a few good songs, not 50 great ones.”
Rationality and objectivity won’t go over well on this thread is my guess.
There wasn’t much filler in their first box set, over 50 right there...
I’m not picking through 50 web pages just to see their list. Geez.
It’s ok. We’s all dazed and confused.
“When the Levee Breaks”. Awesome harmonica riff. Awesome vocals. Awesome drums. It’s all good.
I caught both the Physical Grafitti and Presence shows at Madison Square Garden. Saw many concerts, none as good as Zep.
