This version is well-known. Because it was copied, not covered.
I am biased towards original versions so ignore my liking it better. Two electrified folk guitars, a bass. No drums, no bow, no theatrics. It’s the opposite of the big heavy sound of Led Zeppelin’s version yet it’s not that different.
It starts gently. The rhythm gets more intense, angry. Then the lead builds up the intensity leading to an anguish filled climax. It’s dark and beautifully simple.

Gosh, you could drive a truck through some of those breaks.
Yes. More of the less is more.
Yes, I am confused, because I thought Zeppelin copied all their early stuff from black blues guys, and this guy is white, and I’ve never heard of him or his above ground sound. Are we sure he’s not copying from black blues guys too? I ask only as a lover of Zeppelin, and the black blues guys they copied, who I also love.
You probably know another of his tunes: “Your a pepper, I’m a pepper …”
NOt sure if really explains its different origins but it was already part of Page’s repertoire (violin bow and all). He started doing it with the Yardbirds very soon after having Holmes open for them once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd_LmMpmWwM
