I believe Jones played ALL the mandolin parts on Led Zeppelin III...Brilliant!
I'm pretty sure that Battle of Evermore from IV was Page's first go at the mandolin (not bad for a first go, aye? )

Just got REM's new album. Will report about the mandolin playing.
This is my first time posting a video on the forum so hope it works! Not exactly mando content but Warren Ellis of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds knows his way around mandolin as well as zouk and fiddle. Pretty sure he was playing electric mandolins when I saw him in Edinburgh, Scotland (think it was 2009?)

Cool stuff. You can find other vids at YT of Warren playing his signature model Eastwood eTenor, as well as a Fender mandocaster.

Jim; thanks for posting.
Nice example of the mandolin used to convey a "Euro" or "Continental" feel (as opposed to a Bluegrass of Celtic feel).
Good stuff.

Jim, thanks for posting that. Greenday with mandolin, I used to be heavily into them in my mid/late teens (i'm 31 now ) I wouldn't have them imagined playing this kind of stuff back then, I also wouldn't have known what a mandolin was back then nevermind the fact that it would become my instrument of choice . For that kind of Easten European sound I like Gogol Bordello, although I think they lack any mandolin family instruments.

Just checked out a vew Gogol vids on YT, and really dug them -- thanks for the lead.
Though based in Israel & NYC, Balkan Beatbox also has a Eastern Euro feel, esp. the horn section; they are more world beat than anything else if I had to classify them, sort of a Hip Hop/Balkan Trad mélange. They have a few songs on YT if either of you are so inclined, but you can check out a higher quality vid on FB: http://www.facebook.com/balkanbeatbox.
Edit: link to a good BBB vid on YT

Just found out this. Great fun:
Orcas Island Tonewoods
Free downloads of my mandolin CDs:
"Mandolin Graffiti"
"Mangler Of Bluegrass"
"Overhead At Darrington"
"Electric Mandolin Graffiti"
Just heard one: Share the Ride by The Black Crowes
Breedlove Quartz FF
Eastwood Mandocaster
Some lovely mandolin on Chris Robinson's first solo "New earth Mud" - check out "Barefoot By The Cherry Tree".
Thanks, Darren. I'll have to get my hands on this. I've always appreciated Robinson's voice, and "open jam" style.
Here is a nice write-up on the album. According to this, mandolin credits go to Marc Roy.

Worth picking up Ed. I'm off to see the crowes in London in July and I'm hoping hard they let Luther loose with the mandobird he was playing on the early part of the tour. I've been a big fan of Chris' singing for many many years - caught them on every tour since High as the Moon around 92/93. Word is that Rich has recorded a new solo album up in Woodstock - hopefully there'll be some acoustic stuff in there alongside what he does so well.
Rise by Eddie Vedder
how has no one said this? it's the first one I think of, besides Losing My Religion and Iris.
I love this song
Love the use of acoustic mandolin in this song by Sons of Sylvia (audio only):

Ronnie Lane Debris Live 1974
Pride (In the name of Love) Dierks Bentley with the Punch Brothers & Del McCoury
Kind of a bluegrass version of the famous U2 song. Mandolin played by Chris Thile.
Wow! Good call! Who knew? Well, someone did - like you, and whoever uploaded this.
Found more from the late great Ronnie Lane and whoever the mysterious mandolin guy is. This one features it more prominently, and even with the classic Faces approach of doubling a riff with the bass. Mandolin and bass doubling - sweet!
And again - title track from the 1973 album, "Anymore For Anymore." Mandolin and accordion, years ahead of so many others. Boy, did this ever slip past my radar!
I think there is a bit of mandolin at the start one, though he plays mostly harmonica on this one. Nice steel guitar too.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller

A little research on Ronnie Lane turned up the following:
Graham Lyle played mandolin on "Anymore for Anymore" (1973). Steve Simpson played mandolin on "Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance" (1974) and "One for the Road" (recorded 1975, released 1976). I assume this is the guy in the later videos, as he also is credited with harmonica, guitar, and keyboards. BTW, "Debris" and "How Come" aren't on any of these albums. How come?
This is all a little sketchy. If someone knows more please let us know. Thanks!

"How Come" was a big chart hit single over here in the UK, and it is very familiar to most of us who grew up in the 70's - it still gets lots of airplay on the mainstream radio stations.
Another couple of 70's bands, in a similar vein, who used a mandolin occasionally were: McGuinness Flint and Gallagher and Lyle. Hasn't "When I'm Dead And Gone" been mentioned yet?
...check out 70's band Jack The Lad, for more folk-rock mandolin; "Why Can't I Be Satisfied" springs to mind, we also played the 'b' side of their first single on the college jukebox a lot - the single was ’One More Dance’ and it's 'b' side was the ‘Draught Genius (Polka)'.

Then it's all the more odd that it wasn't on any of the aforementioned albums. Although I am getting this information from wikipedia, I find they are usually pretty reliable about such things.
Thanks for your input on this and the other bands you mentioned. Jack The Lad is new to me, heard of the others. Take a spin through the Search Thread function to see what if anything has already been mentioned, and if you wouldn't mind, post a list of whatever hasn't been mentioned yet. Personal knowledge is best, as oftentimes mandolin players on albums may be listed, but not track-by-track contributions. I believe the goal is to have a list of all rock songs which include mandolin, a more specific consideration than rock albums that do. Posts #95 & #96 contain the collated alpha list as of a year and a half ago, which needs to be updated. Bit by bit we are edging toward completion. Not that this is ever truly attainable, but we are trying ... sometimes very trying ...

Another Britsh treasure from the early 70's, Dando Shaft, featuring the great Martin Jenkins, who went on to play with Bert Jansch and Dave Swarbrick.....
Another couple of great Folk Rock bands from that period were the JSD Band and Five Hand Reel.
