Don't know if it's true or not, but according to Theodore Gracyk's book, Listening to Popular Music, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Led Zeppelin, in the studio the acapella bits have a measure of 5/4, but live, they changed that to 4/4 so the band were more assured of all coming back in together.
That might be the case. But the problem I found with the original recording was that they pause on some of the breaks and don't pause on others. I haven't been able to count it out though. I've only been able to play it by feel. That's a cop out, I know. I need to sit with it and work on it some more.
