That chord progression sure is similar. I'd like to think Page and Plant didn't lift anything from Randy California/Spirit.

No need to mention the 1st album.

Being a guitar wanker, I’ve realized early on things are "borrowed" in some way to create a tune.

We know R&R simply wouldn’t exist without the blues, what can be done except give props to all the Blues cats, who lifted something from their favorite players.
I guess checks and props need to be paid to the source.....the field hollers and diddley bow players! Somewhere along there, is where R&R starts?

Edit- I should include the early Western Swing(30/40’s)
