Composition and recording

The song's lyrics, particularly in the third verse, were influenced by The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, mentioning among other things the dark land of Mordor, Gollum, and The Evil One.[7] Page explained that he achieved the smooth, sustaining violin-like tone on the solo by using the neck pickup on his Les Paul with the treble cut and utilising a sustain-producing effects unit built by audio engineer Roger Mayer.[8]

Live performances

Until 2007, "Ramble On" was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts.[7] At the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert on 10 December 2007, at the O2 Arena in London; Page ended the song with a brief section of the bridge from "What Is and What Should Never Be".[9]

Reception and charts

In a retrospective review of Led Zeppelin II (Deluxe Edition), Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound praised the remastering of "Ramble On", believing the track now sounds "mellow and well-balanced".[10] Madden further stated the track "gets a boost from John Paul Jones' garter snake bass playing."[10] When reviewing the added bonus tracks of the Deluxe Edition, Madden called the rough mix of "Ramble On" as the best of all the bonus tracks, calling Page's acoustic strums "particularly driving".[10]

In 2007, "Ramble On" reached number 66 on the Canadian Billboard Hot Digital Singles Chart.[11]
