'Wearing and Tearing' is a song by English Rock music|rock Musical ensemble|group Led Zeppelin.
Overview
It was recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden during the In Through the Out Door sessions on 21 November 1978.[1]
Due to space constraints, the song was not included on In Through the Out Door. It was left unreleased until 1982, when it was eventually included on the album Coda (album)|Coda. It was one of three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted from In Through the Out Door and later released on Coda, the other two being 'Ozone Baby' and 'Darlene (song)|Darlene'.[2] The band considered releasing the song as a special commemorative single in time for their performance at the Knebworth Festival 1979|1979 Knebworth Festival, but this plan was abandoned because of time constraints.[3]
This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, although it was played by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at their reunion at Concerts at Knebworth House|Knebworth in 1990.[4]
