Jimmy Page<\/a> has treated Led Zeppelin fans to the original home demo for the song that later became \u2018Ten Years Gone\u2019.<\/p>\n While the version that Page shared on YouTube is somewhat different from the full-bodied beast that appeared on Physical Graffiti, it makes for a fascinating listen that demonstrates the genesis of the track and how much of the song was already ready before being touched up by his Led Zeppelin bandmates.<\/p>\n Although it\u2019s not quite clear why Page felt compelled to put out the demo, which he\u2019s presumably been sitting on for decades, on a random day in March 2026, there are no complaints on our end.<\/p>\n Additionally, Page wrote in the YouTube description, \u201cAs a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as \u2018Ten Years Gone\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cI presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song \u2018Ten Years Gone\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, to commemorate Physical Graffiti turning 50<\/a>, Led Zepellin shared the four-track Live E.P., and released an updated 50th\u00a0anniversary edition of 2015\u2019s\u00a0Physical Graffiti\u00a0deluxe edition triple-LP vinyl set featuring the companion audio disc and a new bonus replica\u00a0Physical Graffiti\u00a0promotional poster.<\/p>\n The EP featured live recordings of \u2018In My Time Of Dying\u2019 and \u2018Trampled Under Foot\u2019 from their\u00a0iconic show at Earl\u2019s Court<\/a>\u00a0in 1975, as well as \u2018Sick Again\u2019 and \u2018Kashmir\u2019 from their performance at Knebworth in 1979.<\/p>\n In a retrospective review of the album,\u00a0Far Out<\/a>\u00a0heaped immense praise on \u2018Ten Years Gone\u2019, writing, \u201cThe best moments on the record tend to come when the band are also working outside of their comfort zone. Of all of the grandiose songs on the record, \u2018Ten Years Gone\u2019 might be the most emblematic song of this era of Zeppelin.\u201d<\/p>\n Listen to the original home demo below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
