"Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their album Led Zeppelin II, released in 1969. It was also released as the b-side of the single "Whole Lotta Love". The song is about a groupie who annoyed the band early in their career.
It is often noted that this is guitarist Jimmy Page's least favorite Zeppelin song, and was thus never performed in concert. It was also one of the few Led Zeppelin songs on which he sang backing vocals. Conversely, singer Robert Plant took a liking to the song, and played it on his 1990 solo tour.
When heard on the radio it was typically played immediately after their song "Heartbreaker", as it flows seamlessly from the abrupt ending of that song on the original album. Yet the band never played these songs together on stage at Led Zeppelin concerts (something they consistently did, for example from late 1972 to 1975 with "The Song Remains the Same" and "The Rain Song" — the first two tracks from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy).
