Led Zeppelin was always pretty good at producing quality 6th tracks. Living Loving Maid may not have been one of their better tunes, but Black Mountain Side, Gallows Pole, Four Sticks, D'yer Mak'er, and Kashmir are all pretty brilliant. And even All My Love is pretty good considering the album it came off of.

Just as a stab - the 6th song is usually the 1st song on side two on vinyl?

or the last song on side one.
