Performed in a [[folk rock]]-style, he recorded it for his debut album ''[["The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes]]''. Although some concluded that it was about a bad acid trip, Holmes insists the lyrics refer to the effects of a girl's indecision on ending a relationship. After hearing Holmes perform the song in August 1967, English rock group [[the Yardbirds]] reworked it with a new arrangement. It soon became a centerpiece of their tours, several recordings of which have been released, including on ''[[Yardbirds '68]]'', produced by guitarist [[Jimmy Page]]. "Dazed and Confused" was further adapted by Page's new group for their debut album, ''[[Led Zeppelin (album)|Led Zeppelin]]''. It became a signature song and concert staple for much of the group's career. Holmes attempted to contact Page in the 1980s regarding the songwriting credit, but received no response. In 2010, Holmes filed a lawsuit and the matter was settled out of court, with the credit on Led Zeppelin releases being changed to "Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake Holmes". ==Background and composition== [[Jake Holmes]] began his music career in the early 1960s, and recorded and performed with several different groups.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=92}} He was influenced by [[psychedelic rock]] and groups such as [[the Byrds]] and [[the Blues Project]], and wrote "Dazed and Confused" in a similar style with a [[blues]] influence.<ref name="Classic">{{cite web|url=http://classicmusicvault.com/jake_holmes/|title=Jake Holmes: Artist Bio|website=classicmusicvault.com|accessdate=April 23, 2017}}</ref> In spring of 1967, he recorded the song for his debut solo album ''[["The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes]]'', as a trio of acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass.<ref name="Unterberger album" /> On July 10, it was released on the [[Tower Records (record label)|Tower Records]] label.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=92}} The arrangement is a modular [[dirge]] in the key of E minor<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guitar-chords.org.uk/chords-key-e-minor.html|title=Chords in the key of E minor natural|website=www.guitar-chords.org.uk|language=en|access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref> built on a descending [[chromatic]] bass line alternating between the 3rd (E-G-F#-F-E) and the 7th (E-D-C#-C-B).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aaronkrerowicz.com/pop-music-blog/rhythmic-displacement-in-led-zeppelin-part-1-dazed-and-confused|title=Dazed and Confused|work=Aaron Krerowicz|date=17 February 2018}}</ref> Holmes' singing has been described as "pained",<ref name="Unterberger album"/> and the lyrics ("you're out to get me/you're on the right track") and ("I'm being abused/I'm better off dead"), coupled with the arrangement led some people to think the song was about a bad acid trip.<ref name="Classic" /> However, Holmes said it was a song about a girl.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} In August 1967, Holmes opened for [[the Yardbirds]] at a [[Greenwich Village]] gig in New York.<ref name="Michaels"/> According to Holmes, "That was the infamous moment of my life when 'Dazed and Confused' fell into the loving arms and hands of [[Jimmy Page]]."{{sfn|Russo|2016|pp=89, 92}} He was aware of the song appearing on [[Led Zeppelin]]'s eponymous debut album less than two years later, but did not take any action at the time. In the early 1980s, he wrote to the group and asked for a co-credit, but received no reply.<ref name="Classic"/> In June 2010, Holmes sued Led Zeppelin guitarist [[Jimmy Page]] for copyright infringement, claiming to be the author of "Dazed and Confused" In court documents, he cited a 1967 copyright registration for the song, which was renewed in 1995.<ref name="Michaels">{{cite news |last=Michaels|first=Sean|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jun/30/led-zeppelin-sued-dazed-and-confused |title=Led Zeppelin sued for alleged plagiarism of Dazed and Confused |location=London |work=The Guardian |date=June 30, 2010}}</ref> The case was "dismissed with [[prejudice (law)|prejudice]]"{{efn|name="Prejudice"|"Dismissed with prejudice" signifies that the plaintiff/litigant (Holmes in this case) is permanently barred from filing another case on the same claim.}} on January 17, 2012, after the parties reached an undisclosed settlement out of court.<ref name="Court">{{cite web|url=https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/california/cacdce/2:2010cv04789/476306/27/0.pdf?ts=1377014330|title=Order Dismissing Action With Prejudice|last=Gee|first=Federal Judge Dolly|date=January 17, 2012|website=Justia.com|archive-url=https://cases.justia.com|archive-date=February 1, 2012|url-status=|access-date=April 16, 2017}}</ref> ==The Yardbirds== ===Background=== By late 1966, English rock group [[the Yardbirds]] had moved away from recording hit singles towards regular touring. In July 1967, they began their second tour of the US as a quartet, with [[Jimmy Page]] as the sole guitarist.{{sfn|Clayson|2002|pp=183–187}} The group performed at more [[Counterculture of the 1960s|countercultural]] venues, such as [[the Fillmore]] Auditorium in San Francisco.{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Their sets became more varied with extended medleys{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=115}} and featured guitar instrumentals by Page, such as "[[White Summer]]" and "Glimpses".{{sfn|Tolinski|2012|loc=eBook}} On August 25, 1967, the group headlined at the [[Village Theater]] in New York City, with opening acts [[the Youngbloods]] and Jake Holmes.{{sfn|Clayson|2002|p=187}} Yardbirds drummer [[Jim McCarty]] was the only Yardbird to catch Holmes' performance.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}}{{efn|Several music writers indicate that the Yardbirds heard Holmes perform "Dazed and Confused" at the [[Cafe au Go Go]] and/or [[the Bitter End]] in New York's [[Greenwich Village]], where he was playing around the same time.{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}}{{sfn|Davis|1985|p=34}}{{sfn|Colby|Fitzpatrick|2002|p=106}}}} He liked the song and bought the album the next day, subsequently playing it to the rest of the band. They reworked it, focusing the arrangements based on the descending bass line. Page added additional guitar riffs in the middle of the song.{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}}{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} ===Composition=== The Yardbirds began to develop a new arrangement for "Dazed and Confused" while still on tour in the U.S.{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}} Holmes' brooding atmosphere and descending bass line were retained, as well as most of the lyrics.{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}} Page doubled the bass line, echoing Holmes' live performances with two acoustic guitarists.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} However, propelled by drums and an [[Distortion_(music)|overdriven]] [[Fender Telecaster]],{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} the song quickly took on a new, distinctly non-folk sound.{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}} Singer [[Keith Relf]] initially followed Holmes' verses, but later often changed the order or mixed lines from different verses.{{sfn|Clayson|2006|p=162}} Led Zeppelin biographer [[Mick Wall]] feels that Relf only "slightly altered" the lyrics,{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}} while Page biographer Martin Power credits Relf with "writing new lyrics".{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Yardbirds chronicler Greg Russo describes that gradually the song "moved from Holmes' original lyrics to an alternate set of lyrics that combined words from Jake Holmes and Keith Relf."{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} The Yardbirds' major innovations were the instrumental breaks and an extended instrumental middle section.{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=21}} Writer-educator Susan Fast describes the breaks, appearing between the verses and after Page's solo, as "a detail that contributes significantly to the drama of the piece, creating enormous tension at the end of each verse before moving on to the next.{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=21}} It begins with a [[bowed guitar|bowed electric guitar]] phrasings by Page, answered by vocal and harmonica interjections by Relf. Page attributed the idea of using a violin bow on the guitar to a suggestion from violinist [[David McCallum, Sr.]], whom he met in his pre-Yardbirds days as a session musician.{{sfn|Welch|1998|p=23}} The bowed section gives way to Page's riff-laden guitar solo, propelled by a bass [[ostinato]] and fast driving 4/4-meter.{{sfn|Fast|2001|pp=22–23}} The song returns to the slow [[tempo]] 12/8 verse structure before the [[Coda (music)|coda]].{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=23}} The Yardbirds' new arrangement, contributed by the four members, soon amounted to a major reworking of Holmes' original piece.{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Bassist [[Chris Dreja]] later said, "We found it, arranged it and played it. In a way, it was a great epitaph, because we were feeling very dazed and confused about what the hell was going on!"{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} ===Performances=== "Dazed and Confused" was a regular part of the Yardbirds' performances during their final tours in 1967 and 1968.{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}}{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}}{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}}{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}} The song debuted during their short US tour in late 1967, which included a date at the Village Theater.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=94}} When they returned to England, the group performed a nine-minute version in January 1968, around the time the full quartet recorded their last single, "Think About It".{{sfn|Russo|Paytress|2011|loc=Disc 4 back cover}}{{efn|For the A-side, "Goodnight Sweet Josephine", producer [[Mickie Most]] replaced Dreja and McCarty with studio musicians Clem Cattini (drums), John Paul Jones (bass) and Nicky Hopkins (piano).}} On March 5–6, the Yardbirds performed "Dazed and Confused" for [[BBC Radio]].{{sfn|Russo|Paytress|2011|loc=Disc 5 back cover}} In his Led Zeppelin biography ''[[When Giants Walked the Earth]]'', Wall notes that the relatively concise 5:48 version "sounds almost identical musically to the number Page would take credit for on the first Zeppelin album".{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}} (Led Zeppelin's studio version lasts 6:28.)

Performed in a [[folk rock]]-style, he recorded it for his debut album ''[["The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes]]''. Although some concluded that it was about a bad acid trip, Holmes insists the lyrics refer to the effects of a girl's indecision on ending a relationship. After hearing Holmes perform the song in August 1967, English rock group [[the Yardbirds]] reworked it with a new arrangement. It soon became a centerpiece of their tours, several recordings of which have been released, including on ''[[Yardbirds '68]]'', produced by guitarist [[Jimmy Page]]. "Dazed and Confused" was further adapted by Page's new group for their debut album, ''[[Led Zeppelin (album)|Led Zeppelin]]''. It became a signature song and concert staple for much of the group's career. Holmes attempted to contact Page in the 1980s regarding the songwriting credit, but received no response. In 2010, Holmes filed a lawsuit and the matter was settled out of court, with the credit on Led Zeppelin releases being changed to "Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake Holmes". ==Background and composition== [[Jake Holmes]] began his music career in the early 1960s, and recorded and performed with several different groups.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=92}} He was influenced by [[psychedelic rock]] and groups such as [[the Byrds]] and [[the Blues Project]], and wrote "Dazed and Confused" in a similar style with a [[blues]] influence.<ref name="Classic">{{cite web|url=http://classicmusicvault.com/jake_holmes/|title=Jake Holmes: Artist Bio|website=classicmusicvault.com|accessdate=April 23, 2017}}</ref> In spring of 1967, he recorded the song for his debut solo album ''[["The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes]]'', as a trio of acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass.<ref name="Unterberger album" /> On July 10, it was released on the [[Tower Records (record label)|Tower Records]] label.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=92}} The arrangement is a modular [[dirge]] in the key of E minor<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guitar-chords.org.uk/chords-key-e-minor.html|title=Chords in the key of E minor natural|website=www.guitar-chords.org.uk|language=en|access-date=April 24, 2017}}</ref> built on a descending [[chromatic]] bass line alternating between the 3rd (E-G-F#-F-E) and the 7th (E-D-C#-C-B).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aaronkrerowicz.com/pop-music-blog/rhythmic-displacement-in-led-zeppelin-part-1-dazed-and-confused|title=Dazed and Confused|work=Aaron Krerowicz|date=17 February 2018}}</ref> Holmes' singing has been described as "pained",<ref name="Unterberger album"/> and the lyrics ("you're out to get me/you're on the right track") and ("I'm being abused/I'm better off dead"), coupled with the arrangement led some people to think the song was about a bad acid trip.<ref name="Classic" /> However, Holmes said it was a song about a girl.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} In August 1967, Holmes opened for [[the Yardbirds]] at a [[Greenwich Village]] gig in New York.<ref name="Michaels"/> According to Holmes, "That was the infamous moment of my life when 'Dazed and Confused' fell into the loving arms and hands of [[Jimmy Page]]."{{sfn|Russo|2016|pp=89, 92}} He was aware of the song appearing on [[Led Zeppelin]]'s eponymous debut album less than two years later, but did not take any action at the time. In the early 1980s, he wrote to the group and asked for a co-credit, but received no reply.<ref name="Classic"/> In June 2010, Holmes sued Led Zeppelin guitarist [[Jimmy Page]] for copyright infringement, claiming to be the author of "Dazed and Confused" In court documents, he cited a 1967 copyright registration for the song, which was renewed in 1995.<ref name="Michaels">{{cite news |last=Michaels|first=Sean|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jun/30/led-zeppelin-sued-dazed-and-confused |title=Led Zeppelin sued for alleged plagiarism of Dazed and Confused |location=London |work=The Guardian |date=June 30, 2010}}</ref> The case was "dismissed with [[prejudice (law)|prejudice]]"{{efn|name="Prejudice"|"Dismissed with prejudice" signifies that the plaintiff/litigant (Holmes in this case) is permanently barred from filing another case on the same claim.}} on January 17, 2012, after the parties reached an undisclosed settlement out of court.<ref name="Court">{{cite web|url=https://cases.justia.com/federal/district-courts/california/cacdce/2:2010cv04789/476306/27/0.pdf?ts=1377014330|title=Order Dismissing Action With Prejudice|last=Gee|first=Federal Judge Dolly|date=January 17, 2012|website=Justia.com|archive-url=https://cases.justia.com|archive-date=February 1, 2012|url-status=|access-date=April 16, 2017}}</ref> ==The Yardbirds== ===Background=== By late 1966, English rock group [[the Yardbirds]] had moved away from recording hit singles towards regular touring. In July 1967, they began their second tour of the US as a quartet, with [[Jimmy Page]] as the sole guitarist.{{sfn|Clayson|2002|pp=183–187}} The group performed at more [[Counterculture of the 1960s|countercultural]] venues, such as [[the Fillmore]] Auditorium in San Francisco.{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Their sets became more varied with extended medleys{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=115}} and featured guitar instrumentals by Page, such as "[[White Summer]]" and "Glimpses".{{sfn|Tolinski|2012|loc=eBook}} On August 25, 1967, the group headlined at the [[Village Theater]] in New York City, with opening acts [[the Youngbloods]] and Jake Holmes.{{sfn|Clayson|2002|p=187}} Yardbirds drummer [[Jim McCarty]] was the only Yardbird to catch Holmes' performance.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}}{{efn|Several music writers indicate that the Yardbirds heard Holmes perform "Dazed and Confused" at the [[Cafe au Go Go]] and/or [[the Bitter End]] in New York's [[Greenwich Village]], where he was playing around the same time.{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}}{{sfn|Davis|1985|p=34}}{{sfn|Colby|Fitzpatrick|2002|p=106}}}} He liked the song and bought the album the next day, subsequently playing it to the rest of the band. They reworked it, focusing the arrangements based on the descending bass line. Page added additional guitar riffs in the middle of the song.{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}}{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} ===Composition=== The Yardbirds began to develop a new arrangement for "Dazed and Confused" while still on tour in the U.S.{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}} Holmes' brooding atmosphere and descending bass line were retained, as well as most of the lyrics.{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}} Page doubled the bass line, echoing Holmes' live performances with two acoustic guitarists.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} However, propelled by drums and an [[Distortion_(music)|overdriven]] [[Fender Telecaster]],{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} the song quickly took on a new, distinctly non-folk sound.{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}} Singer [[Keith Relf]] initially followed Holmes' verses, but later often changed the order or mixed lines from different verses.{{sfn|Clayson|2006|p=162}} Led Zeppelin biographer [[Mick Wall]] feels that Relf only "slightly altered" the lyrics,{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}} while Page biographer Martin Power credits Relf with "writing new lyrics".{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Yardbirds chronicler Greg Russo describes that gradually the song "moved from Holmes' original lyrics to an alternate set of lyrics that combined words from Jake Holmes and Keith Relf."{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} The Yardbirds' major innovations were the instrumental breaks and an extended instrumental middle section.{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=21}} Writer-educator Susan Fast describes the breaks, appearing between the verses and after Page's solo, as "a detail that contributes significantly to the drama of the piece, creating enormous tension at the end of each verse before moving on to the next.{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=21}} It begins with a [[bowed guitar|bowed electric guitar]] phrasings by Page, answered by vocal and harmonica interjections by Relf. Page attributed the idea of using a violin bow on the guitar to a suggestion from violinist [[David McCallum, Sr.]], whom he met in his pre-Yardbirds days as a session musician.{{sfn|Welch|1998|p=23}} The bowed section gives way to Page's riff-laden guitar solo, propelled by a bass [[ostinato]] and fast driving 4/4-meter.{{sfn|Fast|2001|pp=22–23}} The song returns to the slow [[tempo]] 12/8 verse structure before the [[Coda (music)|coda]].{{sfn|Fast|2001|p=23}} The Yardbirds' new arrangement, contributed by the four members, soon amounted to a major reworking of Holmes' original piece.{{sfn|Power|2016|loc=eBook}} Bassist [[Chris Dreja]] later said, "We found it, arranged it and played it. In a way, it was a great epitaph, because we were feeling very dazed and confused about what the hell was going on!"{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}} ===Performances=== "Dazed and Confused" was a regular part of the Yardbirds' performances during their final tours in 1967 and 1968.{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}}{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=89}}{{sfn|Shadwick|2005|p=20}}{{sfn|Hulett|Prochnicky|2011|p=33}} The song debuted during their short US tour in late 1967, which included a date at the Village Theater.{{sfn|Russo|2016|p=94}} When they returned to England, the group performed a nine-minute version in January 1968, around the time the full quartet recorded their last single, "Think About It".{{sfn|Russo|Paytress|2011|loc=Disc 4 back cover}}{{efn|For the A-side, "Goodnight Sweet Josephine", producer [[Mickie Most]] replaced Dreja and McCarty with studio musicians Clem Cattini (drums), John Paul Jones (bass) and Nicky Hopkins (piano).}} On March 5–6, the Yardbirds performed "Dazed and Confused" for [[BBC Radio]].{{sfn|Russo|Paytress|2011|loc=Disc 5 back cover}} In his Led Zeppelin biography ''[[When Giants Walked the Earth]]'', Wall notes that the relatively concise 5:48 version "sounds almost identical musically to the number Page would take credit for on the first Zeppelin album".{{sfn|Wall|2008|p=63}} (Led Zeppelin's studio version lasts 6:28.)
