Lucifer's Zeppelin

Lucifer's Friend performing Ride the Sky.  Viking horn blasts are reminiscent of Robert Plant's opening wails on Zeppelin III's Immigrant Song.  Which came first?  The Immigrant Song was written during Led Zeppelin's 1970 summer tour of Iceland, Bath, and Germany.  The band dropped the single in November of that year.  Earlier in 1970  German band Lucifer's Friend released Ride the Sky on their self-titled debut.  An Ango-German Viking rock battle!


Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song live recording with unusual video edit.
Bruiser Brody used the Immmigrant Song as his entrance music.

Begining in 2007 the Minnesota Vikings began playing the Immigrant Song during opening introductions.  Pretty tough but the inflatable Viking ship is definitely not.  I predict the Vikings won't win a Superbowl until they lose the used car lot attraction.  Opening Valhalla horns combined with the Immigrant song offer a near fusion of Lucifer - Zeppelin frenzied football ferocity.
