'Boogie with Stu' is a song by England|English rock music|rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
Overview
It was a jam recorded in 1971 at Headley Grange, where the band had done most of the recording for their Led Zeppelin IV|fourth album. Led Zeppelin were using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio and were accompanied by the Rolling Stones' road manager and piano player, Ian Stewart (musician)|Ian Stewart, who ended up jamming with the band on piano.[1] The working title for this song was 'Sloppy Drunk', a title that vocalist Robert Plant came up with.[2]
It has been reported that Plant played guitar on the track (with Jimmy Page playing mandolin).[3] The slapping guitar came from an overdub session with an ARP guitar synthesizer.[4]
The final product was a song which was a tribute to Ritchie Valens' 'Ooh, My Head'.[5] The song was credited to 'Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart', as the band had heard that Richie Valens mother was not financially well off.
This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[6]
