"Meanwhile, the distinctive, powerful drumming sounds of John Bonham were recorded in the same way as those on the track "When the Levee Breaks" from Led Zeppelin's fourth album." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.24.72.85 (talk) 22:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
"recorded in the same way" is very vague
they recorded it in the open stairwell of a (four-story?) apartment building; bonham set up his drum kit on the ground floor and they recorded the part with the acoustics of the enclosed space. -- swizardofoz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.14.55 (talk) 14:00, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Quick question; how could Bob Dylan cover this song and release it in 1962? Is this just badly worded?
Another Bob Dylan question, unrelated to the above, the article says "when Bob Dylan included a version and gave himself credit" - did he? As far as I know, the credits say "Traditional, arranged by Dylan". If so, this in no way implies that Bob Dylan has taken credit as the originator of the work, merely that the author of the work was undetermined at that time, and that the presented form of the work was as devised by Dylan, and so distinguishable from other renditions of the work (possibly more faithful representations). Hardly a "gave himself credit" scenario — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:1C2B:300:F086:375F:CD5E:D4AD (talk) 13:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
In my time of dying' is a song made from the other one "Jesus gonna make up my dying bed". It's a traditionall american gospel-religious tune, only arranged by Led Zeppelin and earlier by Dylan. First records I found on the topic was that it was sang by Joshua White (1930's 1940's). The same thing's with "The house of the rising sun" and "Fixin' to die". These are traditional american folk songs.
Also, Black Label Society have covered it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NeF (talk • contribs) 00:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Not technically a cover, but the distinctive riff is evident on the soundtracks of two songs on the soundtracks of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, both of which are performed by Tsuneo Imahori. Worth mentioning? Radical AdZ (talk) 14:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Martin Gore of Depeche Mode has covered it, on his solo album Counterfeit2.
I'm not sure if we are talking covers in general or covers directly inspired by the Led Zeppelin version; is it worthwhile creating a section just for different versions of this song? Or is that considered minutiae? There's an excellent rendition by the Be Good Tanyas on their 2003 album Chinatown. Oneandtwoand (talk) 20:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I do not believe that was a feigned cough. Bonham, I believe, was a smoker; and most likely after all that drumming and believe you me man, that song had a TON of it. He was most likely barking his head off trying to recover! LOL!
And Plant most likely just added that "cough" lyric in, on the fly, as they say.
Just a thought.

Richhoncho, interesting choice. Some would argue (not me) that the Writer field include those identified by PROs. Shouldn't the ISWC number in the infobox that identifies Page, Plant, etc., be removed also? —Ojorojo (talk) 21:49, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Since at least 2015, various IPs have been attempting to add progressive rock as a genre to the Led Zeppelin infobox, without supplying a reliable source:
Users Progrockdude (talk · contribs) and Progggy (talk · contribs) have also attempted to add unsourced genres; all have been reverted (and a couple blocked) by various editors. (Numerous other blocked users and sockpuppets have also attempted to add or edit content).
The latest attempts have added a progressive rock fansite Progarchy as a source based on a posting by a contributor.[1] The only relevant material is (highlighted in green
):
Zeppelin’s repertoire only became more progressive after the immense success of IV. Houses of the Holy featured two more Tolkien-inspired songs: the folk-rock Over the Hills and Far Away, and the haunting No Quarter. Physical Graffiti not only
featured their longest song (In My Time of Dying, eleven minutes), but also perhaps their greatest one: Kashmir, one of the finest progressive rock songs ever composed. Backed by an orchestra, Plant, Page, Bonham, and Jones unleashed in this full scale epic of travels in a far off land, a theme explored by progressive rock groups past and present. Their next album, Presence, although perhaps their weakest ...
There is some question as to whether Progarchy should be considered a reliable source for WP purposes. However, as was pointed out in a discussion at WT:ALBUMS#Progarchy (in which none of the IPs participated), the source doesn't actually say that "In My Time of Dying" is progressive rock, only that it is "their longest song". The article only discusses "Kashmir" as a prog rock from Physical Graffiti. In the article, several songs are identified as being different genres, including folk-rock, metal, blues, traditional folk, "standard" rock, folk, "math rock", and notes that claiming "Carouselambra" is prog rock "may be a stretch to some". So, the mere mention of a song in the article does not automatically mean that it is progressive rock.
The latest attempt also removed a reliably sourced genre without any explanation or justification. The source, Martin Popoff, a well-known author of several rock biographies, including Led Zeppelin: All the Albums, All the Songs, Expanded Edition and the prog rockers Yes and Rush, writes:
Across the song's [Carouselambra's] 10:28 (making it the second longest Zeppelin tune, after "In My Time of Dying") are many parts, none progressive on their own, but which together comprise more of an artsy prog rock track than a
hard rock monster like "Achilles" or "In My Time of Dying."[p. 218]
Popoff also describes "In My Time of Dying" as "one of the heaviest possible Zeppelin tracks of this breed [songs adapted from traditional blues] that links to the British blues boom. [p. 149]" This is consistent with the other sources used in the article that describe the song as blues-based rather than progressive rock.
The bottom line is: reliably sourced genres should not be removed without good cause (as actually discussed on the talk page) or genres added without reliable sources that specifically state them.

You are nitpicking that article. The article is clearly about prog in Led Zeppelin songs, and the songs cited in the article support that theme, including this song in question. You seem to want to crown yourself the arbiter of what sources are reliable vs. unreliable. The source is one that has written several compelling articles, including this one. Your "hard rock" genre edit was accidentally removed and then restored. That is not disputed. Stop attempting to use that as part of your argument. This dispute is over an expertly written piece in a reliable and popular source vs. your personal opinion of both, the source itself, and the genre of the song. Your personal opinion does not trump a professionally written editorial, as much as you apparently think it does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.24.185.241 (talk) 03:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Dispute resolution requests (a WP:POLICY) outlines how disputes are handled.
Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content ... Sources should directly support (See WP:INLINECITE and WP:inline citation) the information as it is presented in the Wikipedia article." [emphasis in original]
The two-week page protection ended 2 December. An additional IP has re-added prog rock with the same source:
—Ojorojo (talk) 18:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
During the RfC (see below), IPs continued to add prog rock with the same ref:
The article now has three-month page protection ending 5 April.

Should "progressive rock" be listed as a genre for Led Zeppelin's version of "In My Time of Dying"? —Ojorojo (talk) 16:14, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
Across the song's ["Carouselambra"] 10:28 (making it the second longest Zepplin tune, after "In My Time of Dying") are many parts, none progressive on their own, but which together comprise more of an artsy prog rock track than a hard rock monster like "Achilles" or "In My Time of Dying".
