'Boogie with Stu' is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti.

## Overview[edit]

It was a jam recorded in 1971 at Headley Grange, where the band had done most of the recording for their fourth album. Led Zeppelin were using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio and were accompanied by the Rolling Stones' road manager and piano player, Ian Stewart, who ended up jamming with the band on piano.[1] The working title for this song was 'Sloppy Drunk', a title that vocalist Robert Plant came up with.[2]

It has been reported that Plant played guitar on the track (with Jimmy Page playing mandolin).[3] The slapping guitar came from an overdub session with an ARP guitar synthesizer.[4]

The final product was a song which was a tribute to Ritchie Valens' 'Ooh, My Head'.[5] The song was credited to 'Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart', as the band had heard that Richie Valens mother was not financially well off.

This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[6]
