"[[Immigrant Song]]" was written about the [[Viking invasions of England]] and inspired by a [[Led Zeppelin Tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany, Summer 1970|short tour of Iceland]] in June 1970. It was released as a single in the US and became a top 20 hit. It was the opening song for the band's appearance at the [[Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music]] and at subsequent gigs for the next two years.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=49}} It was included in the 2003 movie ''[[School of Rock]]'', after [[Jack Black]] made a short video with fans asking for permission for its use.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/led-zeppelin-allow-song-to-be-used-in-school-of-rock-movie/|title=LED ZEPPELIN Allow Song To Be Used In 'School Of Rock' Movie|website=Blabbermouth|date=8 September 2003|access-date=8 August 2018|archive-date=7 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180807123324/http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/led-zeppelin-allow-song-to-be-used-in-school-of-rock-movie|url-status=live}}</ref> Page clarified that the song's opening is a combination of a voice and echo feedback.<ref name=MM70>{{cite web|url=https://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/led-zeppelin-page-on-zeppelin-iii|title=Led Zeppelin: Page on Zeppelin III|first=Chris|last=Welch|work=Melody Maker|date=24 October 1970|via=[[Rock's Backpages]]|url-access=subscription|access-date=18 May 2019|archive-date=18 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190518150209/https://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/led-zeppelin-page-on-zeppelin-iii|url-status=live}}</ref>

"Friends" is an acoustic track that uses a [[C6 tuning]] on guitar.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.guitarworld.com/magazine/50-greatest-led-zeppelin-songs|title=The 50 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs|first=Jimmy|last=Brown|magazine=Guitar World|date=9 January 2015|access-date=21 August 2018|archive-date=21 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821223211/https://www.guitarworld.com/magazine/50-greatest-led-zeppelin-songs|url-status=live}}</ref>{{sfn|Alfred|2010|p=3}} Page explained: "I played a [[Harmony Company|Harmony]] acoustic tuned to C–A–C–G–C–E on 'Friends'{{nbsp}}... It's a C [type] tuning, but not a [typical] C tuning. I made it up."{{sfn|Alfred|2010|p=3}}  The song includes a [[string section]] arranged by Jones, which Page had wanted to achieve an Indian style of sound.<ref name=MM70/> The song was re-recorded as an experimental arrangement with the Bombay Orchestra in March 1972, along with "Four Sticks" from the [[Led Zeppelin IV|following untitled album]].{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pp=49–50}} That arrangement appeared on the 2015 reissue of the retrospective album ''[[Coda (Led Zeppelin album)|Coda]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/passage-to-india-the-true-story-of-zeppelin-s-secret-bombay-sessions|title=Led Zeppelin in India: the true story behind the secret Bombay sessions|work=Louder|date=23 July 2015|access-date=21 August 2018|archive-date=21 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821223404/https://www.loudersound.com/features/passage-to-india-the-true-story-of-zeppelin-s-secret-bombay-sessions|url-status=live}}</ref> The song segues into "[[Celebration Day]]" via a [[Moog synthesiser]] drone.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pp=49–50}}

"[[Since I've Been Loving You]]" was one of the first songs to be written for the album, in late 1969.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=51}} It is a blues song in the key of [[C minor]], featuring Jones on [[Hammond organ]] and bass pedals, simultaneously.<ref name=MM70/> The song became a live performance staple for the band throughout the rest of their career, replacing "[[I Can't Quit You Baby]]" from the [[Led Zeppelin (album)|first album]] as the band's slow blues showcase, with Page's guitar solo featured on both the recorded version and in the band's live show.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pp=47,50}}

"Out on the Tiles" was mostly written by Bonham, who came up with the idea for the riffs that run through the track. The introduction was used to open live versions of "[[Black Dog (Led Zeppelin song)|Black Dog]]" (from ''Led Zeppelin IV'') and Bonham's drum solo on the 1977 US tour.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=50}}
