"[[Good Times Bad Times]]" was a commercial-sounding track that was considered as the group's debut single in the UK, and released as such in the US. As well as showcasing the whole band and their new heavy style, it featured a catchy chorus and a variety of guitar overdubs.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pp=45–46}} Despite being a strong track, it was seldom performed live by Led Zeppelin. One of the few occasions it was played was the [[Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert]] in 2007.{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=36}}

"[[Babe I'm Gonna Leave You]]" was a re-arrangement of a song composed by [[Anne Bredon]] in the 1950s. Page had heard the song recorded by [[Joan Baez]] for her 1962 album ''[[Joan Baez in Concert]]''. It was one of the first numbers that he worked on with Plant when the two first met at Pangbourne in August 1968. Page played both the Gibson J-200 acoustic and Telecaster on the track. Plant originally sang the song in a heavier style, similar to other performances on the album, but was persuaded by Page to re-record it to allow some light and shade on the track.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=27}}{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=36}}

"You Shook Me" was a blues song with lyrics by [[Willie Dixon]] and fitted in with the British blues boom that was ongoing when the album was being recorded. Jones, Plant and Page took solos on [[Hammond organ]], harmonica and guitar respectively. Page put backwards echo on the track, which was then a novel production device, on the [[call and response]] between the vocal and guitar towards the end. The song had been recorded by [[Jeff Beck]] for the album ''[[Truth (Jeff Beck album)|Truth]]'' (1968) and Beck subsequently said he was unhappy about Led Zeppelin copying his arrangement.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=46}}

"[[Dazed and Confused (Jake Holmes song)|Dazed and Confused]]" was written and recorded by [[Jake Holmes]] in 1967. The original album credited Page as the sole composer; Holmes sued for copyright infringement in 2010 and an out-of-court settlement was reached the following year. The Yardbirds performed the song regularly in concert during 1968, including several radio and television sessions. Their arrangement included a section where Page played the guitar with a [[violin bow]], an idea suggested by [[David McCallum Sr.]] whom Page had met while doing sessions. Page also used the guitar solo for one of the last Yardbirds recordings, "Think About It". Led Zeppelin's adaptations of "Dazed and Confused" used some different lyrics, while Jones and Bonham developed the arrangement to accommodate their playing styles.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=46}}{{sfn|Lewis|2012|pp=41–42}}

The song was an important part of Led Zeppelin's live show throughout their early career, and became a vehicle for group improvisation, eventually stretching in length to over 30{{nbsp}}minutes. The improvisation would sometimes include parts of another song, including the group's "[[The Crunge]]" and "Walter's Walk" (released later on ''[[Houses of the Holy]]'' and ''[[Coda (Led Zeppelin album)|Coda]]'', respectively), [[Joni Mitchell]]'s "[[Woodstock (song)|Woodstock]]" and [[Scott McKenzie]]'s "[[San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)]]". It was briefly dropped from the live set in 1975 after Page injured a finger, but was re-instated for the remainder of the tour. The last full live performance during Led Zeppelin's main career was at [[Earl's Court]] in London later that year, after which the violin bow section of the song's guitar solo was played as a standalone piece. It was revived as a complete song performance for the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in 2007.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=46}}{{sfn|Lewis|2012|pp=41–42}}
