'Out on the Tiles' is a song by English rock music|rock band Led Zeppelin, from the 1970 album Led Zeppelin III. The title of the song is derived from the United Kingdom|British phrase for going out for a night on the town.

Overview

The spacey sound mix achieved on the recording of this song was a product of distance miking in the studio by Page.[1][2] Just after the 1:23 mark in the track, someone in the recording studio is heard saying 'stop'. It is widely believed that it was Page who said it, although this has never been confirmed. As the song has unique rhythm and syncopation, it is assumed that whoever shouted 'stop' was trying to act as a verbal Conducting|conductor. Before that, at about 0:11 in the song, someone (again possibly Page) says 'all right'.

In Japan 'Out on the Tiles' was mistakenly placed on the B-side of the 'Immigrant Song' single, rather than 'Hey Hey What Can I Do'. Those copies are now rare collector's items.
