The album version also contains uncredited bassline instrumentation from [[Whole Lotta Love]], which was played next in the show (and appears next on the CD) - it is not known if bass guitarist [[Josh Dunham]] played this intentionally or in error (since it was next on the setlist), and it was not played on other live renditions. |
