Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in 1968 that consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert
Plant, drummer John Bonham, and bassist John Paul Jones. With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led
Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal[2] [3] and hard rock,[4] [5] even though the band's
individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one music genre.[6] [7] Led Zeppelin did not release
songs from their albums as singles in the United Kingdom, as they preferred to develop the concept of
album-oriented rock.[3]
More than 30 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, Led Zeppelin continue to be held in high
regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence. The band are widely considered to
be one of the most successful, innovative and influential bands in the history of rock music. Led Zeppelin have sold
over 200million albums worldwide according to some sources,[8] while other sources state sales of more than 300
million records,[9] including 111.5million certified units in the United States,[10] making them one of the world's
best-selling music artists of all time, as well as the second best selling band of all time in the United States.[10] They
have had all of their original studio albums reach the top 10 of the Billboard album chart in the US, with six reaching
the number one spot.[11] Rolling Stone magazine has described Led Zeppelin as "the heaviest band of all time",[12]
Led Zeppelin
"the biggest band of the '70s"[13] and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history".[2] Similarly,
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame described the band in the 1970s as being "as influential in that decade as The Beatles
were in the prior one".[14]
In 2007, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin reunited (along with John Bonham's son, Jason) for the Ahmet
Ertegn Tribute Concert at The O2 Arena in London. The band was honoured with the "Best Live Act" prize for their
one-off reunion at MOJO Awards 2008,[15] where they were declared the "greatest rock and roll band of all time."[16]
History
Formation
In 1966, Jimmy Page joined the blues-influenced rock band The Yardbirds to replace bassist Paul Samwell-Smith.
Shortly after, Page switched from bass to lead guitar, creating a dual lead-guitar lineup with Jeff Beck. Following the
departure of Beck in October 1966, The Yardbirds, who were tired from constant touring and recording, began to
wind down.[17] Page wanted to form a supergroup with himself and Beck on guitars, and The Who's rhythm
sectiondrummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle.[18] Vocalists Steve Winwood and Steve Marriott were
also considered for the project.[19] [20] The group never formed, although Page, Beck and Moon did record a song
together in 1966, "Beck's Bolero", which is featured on Beck's 1968 album, Truth. The recording session also
included bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones, who told Page that he would be interested in collaborating with him on
future projects.[21]
The Yardbirds played their final gig in July 1968 at Luton College of Technology in Bedfordshire, England.[22] They
were still committed to performing several concerts in Scandinavia, so drummer Jim McCarty and vocalist Keith
Relf authorised Page and bassist Chris Dreja to use the Yardbirds name to fulfill the band's obligations. Page and
Dreja began putting a new line-up together. Page's first choice for lead singer, Terry Reid, declined the offer, but
suggested Robert Plant, a Stourbridge singer for the Band of Joy.[3] [23] Plant eventually accepted the position,
recommending drummer John Bonham from nearby Redditch.[3] When Dreja dropped out of the project to become a
photographer (he would later take the photograph that appeared on the back of Led Zeppelin's debut album), John
Paul Jones, at the suggestion of his wife, contacted Page about the vacant position.[24] Being familiar with Jones'
credentials, Page agreed to bring in Jones as the final piece.
The group played together for the first time in a room below a record store on Gerrard Street in London.[25] [26] Page
suggested that they try playing "Train Kept A-Rollin'", a rockabilly song popularised by Johnny Burnette that had
been given new life by the Yardbirds. "As soon as I heard John Bonham play," recalled Jones, "I knew this was
going to be great... We locked together as a team immediately."[27] Shortly afterwards, the group played together on
the final day of sessions for the P.J. Proby album, Three Week Hero. The album's song "Jim's Blues" was the first
studio track to feature all four members of the future Led Zeppelin.[19] Proby recalled, "Come the last day we found
we had some studio time, so I just asked the band to play while I just came up with the words... They weren't Led
Zeppelin at the time, they were the New Yardbirds and they were going to be my band."[28]
The band completed the Scandinavian tour as The New Yardbirds, playing together for the first time in front of a live
audience at Gladsaxe Teen Clubs in Gladsaxe, Denmark, on 7 September 1968.[29] [30] Later that month, the group
began recording their first album, which was based upon their live set at the time. The album was recorded and
mixed in nine days, with all costs covered by Page himself.[31] After the album's completion, the band was forced to
change their name after Chris Dreja issued a cease and desist letter, stating that Page was only allowed to use the
New Yardbirds name for the Scandinavian dates.[32] One account of the band's naming has it that Keith Moon and
John Entwistle, drummer and bassist for The Who, respectively, suggested that a possible supergroup containing
themselves, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck would go down like a "lead balloon", a traditional joke describing disastrous
results.[33] The group deliberately dropped the 'a' in lead at the suggestion of their manager, Peter Grant, to prevent
"thick Americans"[21] from pronouncing it "leed".[34] The word "balloon" was transformed into "zeppelin", perhaps
Led Zeppelin
an exaggeration of the humour, and to Page the name conjured the perfect combination of heavy and light,
combustibility and grace.[33]
Grant also secured for the new band an advance deal of $200,000 from Atlantic Records in November 1968, which
was then one of biggest deals of its kind for a new band.[28] . Atlantic was a label known for a catalogue of blues,
soul and jazz artists, but in the late 1960s it began to take an interest in progressive British rock acts, and signed Led
Zeppelin without having ever seen them, largely on the recommendation of singer Dusty Springfield.[26] [35] Under
the terms of the contract secured by Grant, the band alone would decide when they would release albums and tour,
and had final say over the contents and design of each album. They also would decide how to promote each release
and which (if any) tracks to release as singles, and formed their own company, Superhype, to handle all publishing
rights.[36]
Early years (196870)

The band officially declared they were changing their name to Led Zeppelin on 14 October 1968, and played their
first show under the new name at the University of Surrey in Guildford on 25 October.[37] This was followed by a
US concert debut on 26 December 1968 before moving on to the west coast for dates in cities including Los Angeles
and San Francisco.[38] Led Zeppelin was released in the USA on 12 January 1969, while the tour was underway. It
didn't appear in their native UK until 31 March 1969. The album's blend of blues, folk and eastern influences with
distorted amplification made it one of the pivotal records in the creation of heavy metal music.[3] Plant has
commented that it is unfair for people to typecast the band as heavy metal, since about a third of their music was
acoustic.[39] On their first album Plant receives no credit for his contributions to the songwriting, a result of his
previous association with CBS Records.[40] By 1975, the album had grossed $7,000,000.[41]
Plant and Page performing at the Montreux Jazz

Festival in March 1970. The band would soon
retire to the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in Wales to
record Led Zeppelin III.
In their first year, Led Zeppelin managed to complete four US and four
UK concert tours, and also released their second album, entitled Led
Zeppelin II.[28] Recorded almost entirely on the road at various North
American recording studios, the second album was an even greater
success and reached the number one chart position in the US and the
UK.[42] The band further developed ideas established on their debut
album, creating a work which became even more widely acclaimed and
arguably more influential.[43] It has been suggested that Led Zeppelin II
largely wrote the blueprint for heavy metal bands that followed it.[43]
[44]
Following the album's release, Led Zeppelin completed several more

US tours. They played initially in clubs and ballrooms, then in larger
auditoriums as their popularity grew.[3] Some early Led Zeppelin concerts lasted more than four hours, with
expanded, improvised live versions of their song repertoire. Many of these shows have been preserved as Led
Zeppelin bootleg recordings. It was also during this period of intensive concert touring that the band developed a
reputation for off-stage excess.[45] One alleged example of such extravagance was the shark episode, or red snapper
incident, which is said to have taken place at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle, Washington, on 28 July 1969.[21] [45]
For the composition of their third album, Led Zeppelin III, Page and Plant retired to Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote cottage
in Wales, in 1970.[46] The result was a more acoustic sound which was strongly influenced by folk and Celtic music,
and revealed the band's versatility.[36] The album's rich acoustic sound initially received mixed reactions, with many
critics and fans surprised at the turn taken away from the primarily electric compositions of the first two albums.
Over time, its reputation has improved and Led Zeppelin III is now generally praised.[47] [48] The album's opening
track, "Immigrant Song", was released in November 1970 by Atlantic Records as a single against the band's
wishes.[49] It included their only non-album B-side, "Hey Hey What Can I Do". Even though the band saw their
albums as indivisible, whole listening experiences, and their manager, Peter Grant, maintained an aggressive
Led Zeppelin
pro-album stance, some singles were released without their consent. The group also increasingly resisted television
appearances, enforcing their preference that their fans hear and see them in live concerts.[26] [50] [51]
"The Biggest Band In The World" (197175)

Led Zeppelin were one of the most commercially successful and
influential groups of the 1970s.[52] The band's popularity in the early
years was dwarfed by their mid-seventies successes and it is this period
that continues to define them.[21] [45] The band's image also changed as

began traveling in a private jet airliner (nicknamed The Starship),
rented out entire sections of hotels (including the Continental Hyatt
House in Los Angeles, known colloquially as the "Riot House"), and became the subject of many of rock's most
repeated stories of debauchery. One escapade involved John Bonham riding a motorcycle through a rented floor of
the Riot House,[45] while another involved the destruction of a room in the Tokyo Hilton, leading to the band being
banned from that establishment for life.[26] [53] Although Led Zeppelin developed a reputation for trashing their hotel
suites and throwing television sets out of the windows, some suggest that these tales have been somewhat
exaggerated. Music journalist Chris Welch argues that "[Led Zeppelin's] travels spawned many stories, but it was a
myth that [they] were constantly engaged in acts of wanton destruction and lewd behavior."[26]
Led Zeppelin's fourth album was released on 8 November 1971. There was no indication of a title or a band name on
the original cover, as the band disdained being labelled as "hyped" and "overrated" by the music press, and in
response wanted to prove that the music could sell itself by giving no indication of who they were.[23] The album
remained officially untitled and is most commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, though it is variously referred to
by the four symbols appearing on the record label, as Four Symbols and The Fourth Album (both titles were used in
the Atlantic Records catalogue), Untitled, Zoso, Runes, or IV.[54] Led Zeppelin IV is one of the best-selling albums in
history and its massive popularity cemented Led Zeppelin's superstardom in the 1970s. To date it has sold 23million
copies in the United States.[55] The track "Stairway to Heaven", although never released as a single, is sometimes
quoted as being the most requested,[56] and most played[57] album-oriented rock FM radio song.
Plant and Page perform acoustically in Hamburg

in March 1973, just before the release of Led
Zeppelin's fifth album, Houses of the Holy
Led Zeppelin's next album, Houses of the Holy, was released in 1973.
It featured further experimentation, with expanded use of synthesisers
and mellotron orchestration. The song "Houses of the Holy" does not
appear on its namesake album, even though it was recorded at the same
time as other songs that do appear; it eventually made its way onto the
1975 album Physical Graffiti.[21] The orange album cover of Houses of
the Holy depicts images of nude children[58] climbing up the Giant's
Causeway (in County Antrim, Northern Ireland). Although the children
are not depicted from the front, this was controversial at the time of the
album's release, and in some areas, such as the "Bible Belt" and Spain,
the record was banned.[59] [60]
The album topped the charts, and Led Zeppelin's subsequent concert tour of North America in 1973 broke records
for attendance, as they consistently filled large auditoriums and stadiums. At Tampa Stadium, Florida, they played to
56,800 fans (breaking the record set by The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965), and grossed $309,000.[21] Three
sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York were filmed for a motion picture, but the theatrical release
of this project (The Song Remains the Same) would be delayed until 1976. Before the final night's performance,
$180,000 of the band's money from gate receipts was stolen from a safe deposit box at the Drake Hotel.[61] It was
never recovered.[62]
Led Zeppelin
In 1974, Led Zeppelin took a break from touring and launched their own record label, Swan Song, named after one
of only five Led Zeppelin songs which the band never released commercially (Page later re-worked the song with his
band, The Firm, and it appears as "Midnight Moonlight" on their first album). The record label's logo, based on a
drawing called Evening: Fall of Day (1869) by William Rimmer, features a picture of Icarus.[63] The logo can be
found on much Led Zeppelin memorabilia, especially t-shirts. In addition to using Swan Song as a vehicle to
promote their own albums, the band expanded the label's roster, signing artists such as Bad Company, The Pretty
Things, Maggie Bell, Detective, Dave Edmunds, Midnight Flyer, Sad Caf and Wildlife.[3] The label was successful
while Led Zeppelin existed, but folded less than three years after they disbanded.[21]
In 1975 Led Zeppelin released the double album, Physical Graffiti,
which was their first release on the Swan Song label. It consisted of
fifteen songs, eight of which were recorded at Headley Grange in 1974,
the remainder being tracks previously recorded but not released on
earlier albums. A review in Rolling Stone magazine referred to
Physical Graffiti as Led Zeppelin's "bid for artistic respectability",
adding that the only competition the band had for the title of 'World's
Best Rock Band' were The Rolling Stones and The Who.[64] The album
Led Zeppelin perform at Chicago Stadium in
was a massive fiscal and critical success. Shortly after the release of
January 1975, a few weeks before the release of
Physical Graffiti, all previous Led Zeppelin albums simultaneously
Physical Graffiti
re-entered the top-200 album chart,[21] and the band embarked on
another North American tour, again playing to record-breaking crowds.
In May 1975, Led Zeppelin played five sold-out nights at the Earls Court Arena in London, at the time the largest
arena in Britain.[65]
Hiatus from touring and return (197577)

Following these triumphant Earls Court appearances Led Zeppelin took a holiday and planned a series of outdoor
summer concerts in America, scheduled to open with two dates in San Francisco.[50] These plans were thwarted in
August 1975 when Robert Plant and his wife Maureen were involved in a serious car crash while on holiday in
Rhodes, Greece. Robert suffered a broken ankle and Maureen was badly injured; a blood transfusion saved her
life.[21] Unable to tour, Plant headed to the Channel Island of Jersey to spend August and September recuperating,
with Bonham and Page in tow. The band then reconvened in Malibu, California. It was during this forced hiatus that
much of the material for their next album, Presence, was written.
By this time, Led Zeppelin were the world's number one rock attraction,[50] having outsold most bands of the time,
including The Rolling Stones.[21] Presence, released in March 1976, marked a change in the Led Zeppelin sound
towards more straightforward, guitar-based jams, departing from the acoustic ballads and intricate arrangements
featured on their previous albums. Though it was a platinum seller, Presence received mixed responses from critics
and fans and some said the band's excesses may have caught up with them.[3] [66] The recording of Presence
coincided with the beginning of Page's heroin use, which may have interfered with Led Zeppelin's later live shows
and studio recordings, although Page has denied this.[67]

Plant's injuries prevented Led Zeppelin from touring in 1976. Instead,
the band finally completed the concert film The Song Remains the
Same, and the soundtrack album of the film. The recording had taken
place during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in July
1973, during the band's concert tour of North America. The film
premiered in New York on 20 October 1976, but was given a
lukewarm reception by critics and fans.[3] The film was particularly
unsuccessful in the UK, where, after being unwilling to tour since 1975
due to a taxation exile, Led Zeppelin were facing an uphill battle to
recapture the public spotlight at home.[68]
Plant and Page perform in Chicago in April 1977,

during Led Zeppelin's last-ever North American
tour
In 1977, Led Zeppelin embarked on another major concert tour of

North America. Here the band set another attendance record, with
76,229 people attending their Pontiac Silverdome concert on 30
April.[69] It was, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the
largest attendance to date for a single act show.[50] Though the tour was financially profitable it was beset with
off-stage problems. On 19 April over 70 persons were arrested as about 1,000 ticketless fans tried to gatecrash
Cincinnati Riverfront Coliseum for two sold out festival seating concerts while some tried to gain entry by throwing
rocks and bottles through glass entrance doors. On 3 June a concert at Tampa Stadium was cut short because of a
severe thunderstorm, despite tickets printed with "Rain or Shine". A riot broke out amongst the audience, resulting in
several arrests and injuries.[70]
After a 23 July show[71] at the Days on the Green festival at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, John
Bonham and members of the band's support staff were arrested after a member of promoter Bill Graham's staff was
badly beaten during the band's performance.[21] [72] The following day's second Oakland concert[73] would prove to
be the band's final live appearance in the United States. Two days later, as the band checked in at a French Quarter
hotel for their 30 July performance at the Louisiana Superdome, news came that Plant's five year old son, Karac, had
died from a stomach virus. The rest of the tour was immediately cancelled, prompting widespread speculation about
the band's future.[3] [26]
Bonham's death and break-up (197880)

November 1978 saw the group recording again, this time at Polar Studios in
Stockholm, Sweden. The resultant album was In Through the Out Door, which
exhibited a degree of sonic experimentation that again drew mixed reactions
from critics. Nevertheless, the band still commanded legions of loyal fans, and
the album easily reached number 1 in the UK and the US in just its second week
on the Billboard album chart. As a result of this album's release, Led Zeppelin's
entire catalogue made the Billboard Top 200 between the weeks of 27 October
and 3 November 1979.[50]
In August 1979, after two warm-up shows in Copenhagen, Led Zeppelin
headlined two concerts at the Knebworth Music Festival, where crowds of close
to 120,000 witnessed the return of the band. Plant was not eager to tour full-time
again, and even considered leaving Led Zeppelin. He was persuaded to stay by
Peter Grant. A brief, low-key European tour was undertaken in June and July
1980, featuring a stripped-down set without the usual lengthy jams and solos. At
After the death of Bonham (pictured

in 1975) on 24 September 1980, the
remaining members of Led Zeppelin
decided to disband the group.
Led Zeppelin
one show on 27 June, in Nuremberg, Germany, the concert came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the third song
when John Bonham collapsed on stage and was rushed to a hospital.[74] Press speculation arose that Bonham's
problem was caused by an excess of alcohol and drugs, but the band claimed that he had simply overeaten, and they
completed the show.[21] [75]
On 24 September 1980, John Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin assistant Rex King to attend rehearsals at
Bray Studios for an upcoming North American tour, the band's first since 1977, scheduled to commence on 17
October.[26] During the journey Bonham had asked to stop for breakfast, where he downed four quadruple vodkas
(450ml), with a ham roll. After taking a bite of the ham roll he said to his assistant, "Breakfast". He continued to
drink heavily when he arrived at the studio. A halt was called to the rehearsals late in the evening and the band
retired to Page's houseThe Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight, Bonham had fallen asleep and
was taken to bed and placed on his side. At 1:45pm the next day Benji LeFevre (who had replaced Richard Cole as
Led Zeppelin's tour manager) and John Paul Jones found him dead.[26] The cause of death was asphyxiation from
vomit, and a verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest held on 27 October.[26] An autopsy found no other
drugs in Bonham's body. Bonham was cremated on 10 October 1980, and his ashes buried at Rushock parish church
in Droitwich, Worcestershire.
The planned North American tour was cancelled, and despite rumours that Cozy Powell, Carmine Appice,
Barriemore Barlow, Simon Kirke or Bev Bevan would join the group as his replacement, the remaining members
decided to disband after Bonham's death. They issued a press statement on 4 December 1980 confirming that the
band would not continue without Bonham. The statement said, "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear
friend, and the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we
could not continue as we were," and was simply signed "Led Zeppelin".[26]
Post-breakup events
1980s
The first significant post-Led Zeppelin project was The Honeydrippers, a band formed in 1981 by Robert Plant and
featuring Jimmy Page on lead guitar, along with an array of studio musicians and friends of Plant and Page,
including Jeff Beck, Paul Shaffer, and Nile Rodgers. Plant intentionally chose to focus the band in a very different
direction from Led Zeppelin, playing standards and more R&B style, highlighted by their cover of "Sea of Love",
which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard charts in very early 1985.[76]
In 1982, the surviving members of the group released a collection of out-takes
from various sessions during Led Zeppelin's career, entitled Coda. It included
two tracks taken from the band's performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970,
one each from the Led Zeppelin III and Houses of the Holy sessions, and three
from the In Through the Out Door sessions. It also featured a 1976 John Bonham
drum instrumental with electronic effects added by Jimmy Page, called "Bonzo's
Montreux".
On 13 July 1985, Page, Plant and Jones reunited for the Live Aid concert at JFK
Stadium, Philadelphia, playing a short set featuring drummers Tony Thompson
and Phil Collins and bassist Paul Martinez. Collins had contributed to Plant's first
two solo albums while Martinez was a member of Plant's current solo band. The
performance was marred by the lack of rehearsal with the two drummers, Page's
Jimmy Page performs at the Cow
struggles with an out-of-tune Les Paul and poorly functioning monitors, and by
Palace in San Francisco, 1983
Plant's hoarse voice.[77] [78] Page himself has described the performance as
"pretty shambolic"[79] and "clearly wasn't good enough,"[80] while Plant was
even harsher, characterising it as an "atrocity".[77]
Led Zeppelin
The three members reunited again on 14 May 1988, for the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, with
Bonham's son, Jason Bonham, on drums. The reunion was again compromised by a disjointed performance,
particularly by Plant and Page (the two having argued immediately prior to coming on stage about whether to play
"Stairway to Heaven"), and by the complete loss of Jones' keyboards on the live television feed.[78] [81] Page later
described the performance as "one big disappointment", and Plant said unambiguously that "the gig was foul".[81]
1990s
The first Led Zeppelin box set, featuring tracks remastered under the supervision of Jimmy Page, introduced the
band's music to many new fans, stimulating a renaissance for Led Zeppelin. This set included four previously
unreleased tracks, including the Robert Johnson tribute "Travelling Riverside Blues". The song peaked at number
seven on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, with the video in heavy rotation on MTV. 1992 saw the release of
the "Immigrant Song"/"Hey Hey What Can I Do" (the original B-side) as a CD single in the US. Led Zeppelin Boxed
Set 2 was released in 1993; the two box sets together containing all known studio recordings, as well as some rare
live tracks.
In 1994, Page and Plant reunited in the form of a 90 minute "UnLedded" MTV project. They later released an album
called No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded, which featured some reworked Led Zeppelin songs, and
embarked on a world tour the following year. This is said to be the beginning of the inner rift between the band
members, as Jones was not even told of the reunion.[24] [82] When asked where Jones was, Plant had replied that he
was out "parking the car".[83]
In 1995, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the United States Rock and Roll Hall of Fametheir first year of
eligibilityby Aerosmith's vocalist, Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry. Jason and Zoe Bonham also attended,
representing their late father. At the induction ceremony, the band's inner rift became apparent when Jones joked
upon accepting his award, "Thank you, my friends, for finally remembering my phone number", causing
consternation and awkward looks from Page and Plant.[84] Afterwards, they played a brief set with Tyler and Perry
(featuring Jason Bonham on drums), and with Neil Young and Michael Lee replacing Bonham.
In 1997 Atlantic released a single edit of "Whole Lotta Love" in the US and the UK, making it the only Led Zeppelin
UK CD single. Additional tracks on this CD-single are "Baby Come On Home" and "Travelling Riverside Blues". It
is the only single the band ever released in the UK. It peaked at number 21.[85] 11 November 1997 saw the release of
Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions, the first Led Zeppelin album in fifteen years. The two-disc set included almost all of the
band's recordings for the BBC. Page and Plant released another album called Walking into Clarksdale in 1998,
featuring all new material. The album was not as successful as No Quarter, and the band slowly dissolved.
2000s
In 2003 two live Led Zeppelin documents were released: the double live album How the West Was Won, and Led
Zeppelin DVD, a six-hour chronological set of live footage that became the best-selling music DVD in history.[86]
That same year the band received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In November 2005, it was announced
that Led Zeppelin and Russian conductor Valery Gergiev were the winners of the 2006 Polar Music Prize. The King
of Sweden presented the prize to Plant, Page, and Jones, along with John Bonham's daughter, in Stockholm in May
2006.[87] In November 2006, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame.[88]
On 27 July 2007, Atlantic/Rhino and Warner Home Video announced three new Led Zeppelin titles to be released in
November 2007. First was Mothership on 13 November, a 24-track best-of spanning the band's career, followed by a
reissue of the soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same on 20 November which includes previously unreleased
material, and a new DVD.[89] On 15 October 2007, it was reported that Led Zeppelin were expected to announce a
new series of agreements that make the band's songs available as legal digital downloads, first as ringtones through
Verizon Wireless then as digital downloads of the band's eight studio albums and other recordings on 13
November.[90] The offerings were made available through both Verizon Wireless and iTunes. On 8 November 2007,
Led Zeppelin
XM Satellite Radio launched XM LED, the network's first artist-exclusive channel dedicated to Led Zeppelin. On 13
November 2007, Led Zeppelin's complete works were published on iTunes.
On 10 December 2007, Led Zeppelin reunited for the one-off Ahmet
Ertegn Tribute Concert, with Jason Bonham taking up his late father's
place on drums. According to Guinness World Records 2009, Led
Zeppelin hold the world record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets
for One Music Concert" as 20million requests for the reunion show
were rendered online.[91] The concert was to help raise money for the
Ahmet Ertegn Education Fund, which pays for university scholarships
in the UK, US and Turkey. Music critics praised the band's
performance. Hamish MacBain of NME proclaimed, "What they have
done here tonight is proof they can still perform to the level that
originally earned them their legendary reputation... We can only hope
this isn't the last we see of them."[92]
Led Zeppelin performing at the Ahmet Ertegn

Tribute Concert in December 2007
In an interview promoting the release of the Mothership compilation in Tokyo early in 2008, Jimmy Page stated that
he was prepared to embark upon a world tour with Led Zeppelin, but due to Robert Plant's tour commitments with
Alison Krauss, such plans would not be announced until at least September.[93] Showing enthusiasm for continued
performing, in late spring Page and Jones joined Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor Hawkins
onstage at Wembley Stadium to perform Led Zeppelin tracks "Rock and Roll" and "Ramble On".[94]
After the BBC reported in late August that Page, Jones and Bonham were recording material which could become a
new Led Zeppelin project,[95] rumours of a reunion began to accumulate through the remaining summer.[96] [97] [98]
On 29 September Plant released a statement in which he called reports of a Led Zeppelin reunion "frustrating and
ridiculous". He said he would not be recording or touring with the band, before adding, "I wish Jimmy Page, John
Paul Jones and Jason Bonham nothing but success with any future projects."[99] [100]
Following Plant's statement, authoritative but divergent views of the possibility of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour the
next year were offered by John Paul Jones and promoter Harvey Goldsmith. In late October, Jones confirmed to
BBC Radio Devon in Exeter that he, Page, and Bonham were seeking a replacement for Plant. Goldsmith
commented on the prospect of a Led Zeppelin reunion, casting doubt on the possibility or wisdom of such a venture:
"I think that there is an opportunity for them to go out and present themselves. I don't think a long rambling tour is
the answer as Led Zeppelin." The Ertegn Concert promoter felt the result of the ongoing plans of Jones, Page, and
Bonham would not be "called Led Zeppelin".[101] A spokesman for Page later confirmed this, telling Rolling Stone
that the name Led Zeppelin would not be used due to the absence of Plant.[102] Singers who auditioned for the
project included Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge.[103] In January 2009, Page's
manager Robert Mensch stated that the band had "tried out a few singers, but no one worked out, that was it. The
whole thing is completely over now. There are absolutely no plans for them to continue."[104]

Legacy
Led Zeppelin are widely considered to be one of the most successful,
innovative and influential bands in the history of rock music. Rock
critic Mikal Gilmore said, "Led Zeppelintalented, complex,
grasping, beautiful and dangerousmade one of the most enduring
bodies of composition and performance in twentieth-century music,
despite everything they had to overpower, including themselves."[105]
Led Zeppelin are often cited as one of the key progenitors of heavy
metal and hard rock.[4] [5] [106]
Led Zeppelin have influenced bands, from Black Sabbath[107] to
Megadeth[108] [109] and Queen[110] to Velvet Revolver.[111] The band
have influenced various progressive rock and progressive metal
A Led Zeppelin T-shirt
acts,[112] including Rush,[113] Tool[114] and Dream Theater,[115] as well
as influencing some early punk and post-punk bands, among them the
[116] [117]
[118] [119]
Ramones
and The Cult.
They were also an important influence on the development of alternative
rock, as bands adapted elements from the "Zeppelin sound" of the mid-1970s,[120] [121] including The Smashing
Pumpkins,[122] [123] Nirvana,[124] Pearl Jam[125] and Soundgarden.[126] Bands and artists from diverse genres have
also acknowledged the influence of Led Zeppelin, such as Madonna,[127] Shakira,[128] Lady Gaga,[129] and Katie
Melua.[130]
Led Zeppelin have been credited with a major impact on the nature of the music business, particularly in the
development of album-oriented rock (AOR) and stadium rock.[131] [132] In 1988 John Kalodner, then-A&R executive
of Geffen Records, remarked that "In my opinion, next to the Beatles they're the most influential band in history.
They influence the way music is on records, AOR radio, concerts. They set the standards for the AOR-radio format
with 'Stairway to Heaven,' having AOR hits without necessarily having Top 40 hits. They're the ones who did the
first real big arena concert shows, consistently selling out and playing stadiums without support. People can do as
well as them, but nobody surpasses them."[133] Andrew Loog Oldham, the former producer and manager of The
Rolling Stones, commented on how Led Zeppelin had a major influence on the record business, and the way rock
concerts were managed and presented to huge audiences.[134] The band sold over 200million albums worldwide
according to some sources,[8] while other sources state that they have sold in excess of 300 million records,[9]
including 111.5million certified units in the United States.[10] According to the Recording Industry Association of
America, Led Zeppelin are the fourth highest selling music act in the US and one of only three acts to earn four or
more Diamond albums.[135]
Led Zeppelin also had a significant cultural impact.[136] Jim Miller, editor of Rolling Stone Illustrated History of
Rock & Roll, argues "On one level, Led Zeppelin represents the final flowering of the sixties' psychedelic ethic,
which casts rock as passive sensory involvement."[137] Led Zeppelin were pivotal in the transition of the late sixties
rock movement from the central form of mass youth music to its macho, sexual "cock rock" form, as a male form of
expression.[52] [137] [138] The band's fashion-sense has also been seminal; Simeon Lipman, head of pop culture at
Christie's auction house, has commented that "Led Zeppelin have had a big influence on fashion because the whole
aura surrounding them is so cool, and people want a piece of that."[139] Led Zeppelin laid the foundation for the big
hair of 80s bands such as Mtley Cre and Skid Row. Other musicians have also adapted elements from Led
Zeppelin's attitude to apparel, jewellery and hair, such as hipster flares and tight band t-shirts of Kings of Leon,
shaggy hair, clingy t-shirts and bluesman hair of Jack White of The White Stripes, and Kasabian guitarist Sergio
Pizzorno's silk scarves, trilbies and side-laced tight jeans.[139]
Led Zeppelin
11
Awards and accolades

A few of the awards the band have received include a Grammy Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2005,[140] and the Polar Music Prize in 2006.[141] Led
Zeppelin were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995,[142] and the
UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004.[143] The band are ranked number 1 on VH1's
100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock[144] and Classic Rock's "50 Best Live Acts of
All Time".[145] Led Zeppelin remain one of the most bootlegged artists in the
history of rock music.[146]

Robert Anthony Plant, CBE (born 20 August 1948), is an English rock singer and songwriter, best known as the
vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Led Zeppelin. He has also had a successful solo career. In 2007, Plant released
Raising Sand, an album produced by T-Bone Burnett with American bluegrass soprano Alison Krauss, which won
the 2009 Grammy Award for Album of the Year at the 51st Grammy Awards.[1]
With a career spanning more than 40 years, Plant is regarded as one of the most significant singers in the history of
rock music, and has influenced contemporaries and later singers such as Freddie Mercury and Axl Rose.[2] In 2006,
heavy metal magazine Hit Parader named Plant the "Greatest Metal Vocalist of All-Time".[3] In 2009, Plant was
voted "the greatest voice in rock" in a poll conducted by Planet Rock.[4] [5]
Robert Plant
Life and career

Early career
Plant was born in the Black Country town of West Bromwich (then in Staffordshire now in West Midlands) to
parents Robert C. who worked as a civil engineer[6] and Annie C. (Cain) Plant, but grew up in Kidderminster, in
Worcestershire. Plant gained an interest in singing and rock'n'roll music at an early age.
When I was a kid I used to hide behind the curtains at home at Christmas and I used to try and be Elvis.
There was a certain ambience between the curtains and the French windows, there was a certain sound
there for a ten year old. That was all the ambience I got at ten years old... I think! And I always wanted
to be a curtain, a bit similar to that.[7]
He left King Edward VI Grammar School for Boys in Stourbridge in his mid-teens and developed a strong passion
for the blues, mainly through his admiration for Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson and early rendition of songs in this
genre.
I suppose I was quite interested in my stamp collection and Romano-British history. I was a little
grammar school boy and I could hear this kind of calling through the airwaves[8]
He abandoned training as a chartered accountant after only two weeks to attend college in an effort to gain more
GCE passes and to become part of the English Midlands blues scene.[9] [10] "I left home at 16", he said "and I started
my real education musically, moving from group to group, furthering my knowledge of the blues and of other music
which had weight and was worth listening to."[11]
Plant's early blues influences included Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Skip James, Jerry Miller, and Sleepy John
Estes. Plant had various jobs while pursuing his music career, one of which was working for the major British
construction company Wimpey in Birmingham in 1967 laying tarmac on roads. He also worked at Woolworths in
Halesowen town for a short period of time. He cut three obscure singles on CBS Records[12] and sang with a variety
of bands, including The Crawling King Snakes, which brought him into contact with drummer John Bonham. They
both went on to play in the Band of Joy, merging blues with newer psychedelic trends. Though his early career met
with no commercial success, word quickly spread about the "young man with the powerful voice".
Led Zeppelin
Early years
In 1968, the guitarist Jimmy Page was in search of a lead singer for his
new band and met Plant after being turned down by his first choice,
Terry Reid, who referred him to a show at a teacher training college in
Birmingham where Plant was singing in a band named
Hobbstweedle.[13] Page explained:
When I auditioned him and heard him sing, I immediately
thought there must be something wrong with him
personality-wise or that he had to be impossible to work
Plant with Led Zeppelin
with, because I just could not understand why, after he
told me he'd been singing for a few years already, he
hadn't become a big name yet. So I had him down to my place for a little while, just to sort of check him
out, and we got along great. No problems.[14]
According to Plant:
I was appearing at this college when Peter and Jimmy turned up and asked me if I'd like to join The
Yardbirds. I knew The Yardbirds had done a lot of work in America - which to me meant audiences who
18

would want to know what I might have to offer - so naturally I was very interested.[11]
Plant and Page immediately hit it off with a shared musical passion and
began their writing collaboration with reworkings of earlier blues
songs, although Plant would receive no songwriting credits on the
band's first album, allegedly because he was still under contract to CBS
Records at the time. Plant brought along John Bonham as drummer,
and they were joined by John Paul Jones, who had previously worked
with Page as a studio musician. Jones called Page on the phone before
they checked out Plant, and Page hired Jones immediately.
derivative of Plant's feather sigil used in the Led

Zeppelin IV album
Initially dubbed the "New Yardbirds" in 1968, the band soon came to
be known as Led Zeppelin. The band's self-titled debut album hit the
charts in 1969 and is widely credited as a catalyst for the heavy metal
genre. Plant has commented that it is unfair for people to think of
Zeppelin as heavy metal, as almost a third of their music was
acoustic.[15]
In 1975, Plant and his wife Maureen (now divorced) were seriously injured in a car crash in Rhodes, Greece. This
significantly affected the production of Led Zeppelin's seventh album Presence for a few months while he recovered,
and forced the band to cancel the remaining tour dates for the year.
In July 1977 his son Karac died aged five of a stomach infection while Plant was engaged on Led Zeppelin's concert
tour of the United States. It was a devastating loss for the family. Plant retreated to his home in the Midlands and for
months afterward he questioned his future.[16] Karac's death later inspired him to write the song "All My Love" in
tribute, featured on Led Zeppelin's final studio LP, 1979's In Through the Out Door.
Lyrics
Plant did not begin writing song lyrics with Led Zeppelin until the making of Led Zeppelin II, in 1969. According to
Jimmy Page:
The most important thing about Led Zeppelin II is that up to that point I'd contributed lyrics. Robert hadn't
written before, and it took a lot of ribbing to get him into writing, which was funny. And then, on the second
LP, he wrote the words of Thank You. He said, "I'd like to have a crack at this and write it for my wife."[17]
Plant's lyrics with Led Zeppelin were often mystical, philosophical and spiritual, alluding to events in classical and
Norse mythology, such as the "Immigrant Song", which refers to Valhalla and Viking conquests. However, the song
"No Quarter" is often misunderstood to refer to the god Thor; the song actually refers to Mount Thor (which is
named after the god). Another example is "The Rain Song".
Plant was also influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, whose book series inspired lyrics in some early Led Zeppelin songs.
Most notably "The Battle of Evermore", "Misty Mountain Hop", "No Quarter", "Ramble On" and "Over the Hills
and Far Away" contain verses referencing Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Conversely, Plant
sometimes used more straightforward blues-based lyrics dealing primarily with sexual innuendo, as in "The Lemon
Song", "Trampled Under Foot", and "Black Dog".
Welsh mythology also forms a basis of Plant's interest in mystical lyrics. He grew up close to the Welsh border and
would often take summer trips to Snowdonia. Plant bought a Welsh sheep farm in 1973, and began taking Welsh
lessons and looking into the mythology of the land (such as Black Book of Carmarthen, Book of Taliesin, etc.)
Plant's first son, Karac, was named after the Welsh warrior Caratacus. The song "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is named after
the 18th Century Welsh cottage Bron-Yr-Aur owned by a friend of his father; it later inspired the song
"Bron-Yr-Aur". The songs "Misty Mountain Hop," "That's the Way", and early dabblings in what would become
"Stairway to Heaven" were written in Wales and lyrically reflect Plant's mystical view of the land. Critic Steve
Robert Plant
Turner suggests that Plant's early and continued experiences in Wales served as the foundation for his broader
interest in the mythologies he revisits in his lyrics (including those myth systems of Tolkien and the Norse).[18]
The passion for diverse musical experiences drove Plant to explore Africa, specifically Marrakesh in Morocco where
he encountered Umm Kulthum.
I was intrigued by the scales, initially, and obviously the vocal work. The way she sang, the way she could
hold a note, you could feel the tension, you could tell that everybody, the whole orchestra, would hold a note
until she wanted to change.[19]
That musical inspiration eventually culminated in the classic track "Kashmir" (which is not in North Africa, but
rather in India). Both he and Jimmy Page revisited these influences during their reunion album No Quarter: Jimmy
Page and Robert Plant Unledded in 1994. In his solo career, Plant again tapped from these influences many times,
most notably in the 2002 album, Dreamland.
Arguably one of Plant's most significant achievements with Led Zeppelin was his contribution to the track "Stairway
to Heaven", an epic rock ballad featured on Led Zeppelin IV that drew influence from folk, blues, Celtic traditional
music and hard rock among other genres. Most of the lyrics of the song were written spontaneously by Plant in 1970
at Headley Grange. While never released as a single, the song has topped charts as the greatest song of all time on
various polls around the world.
Plant is also recognised for his lyrical improvisation in Led Zeppelin's live performances, often singing verses
previously unheard on studio recordings. One of the most famous Led Zeppelin musical devices involves Plant's
vocal mimicking of band mate Jimmy Page's guitar effects. This can be heard in the songs "How Many More
Times", "Dazed and Confused", "The Lemon Song", "You Shook Me", "Nobody's Fault but Mine" and "Sick
Again".
He is also known for his light-hearted, humorous, and unusual on-stage banter, often referred to as "plantations."
Plant often discusses the origin and background of the songs during his shows, and sometimes provides social
comment as well. He frequently talks about American blues musicians as his inspiration, mentioning artists like
Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, Blind Willie Johnson, and Willie Dixon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
ceremony and the 2007 Ahmet Ertegn Tribute Concert with Led Zeppelin.
Stage persona
Plant enjoyed great success with Led Zeppelin
throughout the 1970s and developed a compelling
image as the charismatic rock-and-roll front man,
similar to his contemporary in The Who, singer Roger
Daltrey (who adopted the look in the late 1960s), Mick
Jagger of the Rolling Stones, and his other fellow
contemporary, Jim Morrison of The Doors.[20] With his
mane of long blond hair and powerful, bare-chested
appearance, Plant helped to create the "god of rock and
roll" or "rock god" archetype. On stage, Plant was
particularly active in live performances, often dancing,
jumping, skipping, snapping his fingers, clapping,
making emphatic gestures to emphasise a lyric or
cymbal crash, throwing back his head, or placing his
hands on his hips. As the 1960s-1970s progressed he,
Plant (left) with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page performing live
along with the other members of Led Zeppelin, became
increasingly flamboyant on-stage and wore more elaborate, colourful clothing and jewellery.
20
Robert Plant
According to Classic Rock magazine, "once [Plant] had a couple of US tours under his belt, 'Percy' Plant swiftly
developed a staggering degree of bravado and swagger that irrefutably enhanced Led Zeppelin's rapidly burgeoning
appeal."[11] In 1994, during his "Unledded" tour with Jimmy Page, Plant himself reflected tongue-in-cheek upon his
Led Zeppelin showmanship:
I can't take my whole persona as a singer back then very seriously. It's not some great work of beauty
and love to be a rock-and-roll singer. So I got a few moves from Elvis and one or two from Sonny Boy
Williamson II and Howlin' Wolf and threw them all together.[21]
Solo career (since 1982)

As a solo artist
After the break-up of Led Zeppelin in 1980 (following the death of John Bonham), Plant pursued a successful solo
career beginning with Pictures at Eleven in 1982, followed by 1983's The Principle of Moments. Popular tracks from
this period include "Big Log" (a Top 20 hit in 1983), "In the Mood" (1983), "Little by Little" (from 1985's Shaken 'n'
Stirred), "Tall Cool One" (a #25 hit off 1988's Now and Zen) and "I Believe" (from 1993's Fate of Nations), another
song written for and dedicated to his late son, Karac. In 1984, Plant formed a short-lived all-star group with Jimmy
Page and Jeff Beck called The Honeydrippers, who had a #3 hit with a remake of the Phil Phillips' tune, "Sea of
Love" and a followup hit with a cover of Roy Brown's "Rockin' at Midnight". Although Plant avoided performing
Led Zeppelin songs through much of this period, his tours in 1983 (with drummer Phil Collins) and 1985 were very
successful, often performing to sold-out arena-sized venues.
Through the 1980s and 1990s, Plant co-wrote three solo albums with keyboardist/songwriter Phil Johnstone. Now
and Zen, Manic Nirvana, and Fate of Nations (featuring Mire Brennan of Clannad). It was Johnstone who talked
Plant into playing Led Zeppelin songs in his live shows, something Plant had resisted, not wanting to be forever
known as "the former Led Zeppelin vocalist."
Although Led Zeppelin split in 1980, Plant and Page occasionally collaborated on various projects, including The
Honeydrippers: Volume 1 album in 1984 (there has never been a Volume 2). In the spring 2 years later Robert
performed at the Birmingham Heart Beat Charity Concert 1986. The pair again worked together in the studio on the
1988 Page solo effort, Outrider, and in the same year Page contributed to Plant's album Now and Zen. Also, on 15
May 1988 Plant appeared with Page as a member of Led Zeppelin (and in his own right as a solo artist) at the
Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert.
As Page and Plant (1994-1998)
Page and Plant became a full-fledged performing act from 1994 through 1998, releasing the Unledded album in 1994
and following with an enormously successful tour in 1995. Page and Plant recorded their only post-Zeppelin album
of original material on the 1998 album, Walking into Clarksdale, an effort that was unsuccessful commercially,
leading Plant to return to his solo career. A song from this album, "Please Read the Letter", was re-recorded by Plant
with Alison Krauss, winning the 2009 Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
With Priory of Brion (1999-2000)
Starting in mid-1999, Plant performed until the end of 2000 at several small venues with his folk-rock band, named
Priory of Brion.
In 1999, Plant contributed to the tribute album for Moby Grape co-founder Skip Spence, who was terminally ill. The
album, More Oar: A Tribute to the Skip Spence Album (Birdman, 1999), with the album title referring to Spence's
only solo album, Oar (Columbia, 1969), contained Plant's version of Spence's "Little Hands". Plant had been an
admirer of Spence and Moby Grape since the release of Moby Grape's eponymous 1967 debut album.[22]

In 2001, Plant appeared on Afro Celt Sound System's album Volume 3: Further in Time. The song "Life Begin
Again" features a duet with Welsh folksinger Julie Murphy, emphasising Plant's recurring interest in Welsh culture
(Murphy would also tour in support of Plant).
In 2001 he also recorded 'No Quarter' with Jimmy Page: Fourteen years of speculation from their fans and occasional
sniping between the two former members ended when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin reconvened
their former musical partnership to produce No Quarter. Having long resisted offers from MTV to reform to do an
Unplugged show, they finally accepted as part of a deal that also allowed them to visit Morocco to record new
material. The album combines the results of both of these projects. The Led Zeppelin material features new
arrangements and new instrumentation, including strings, Egyptian musicians and the haunting vocals of
British-Asian star Najma Akhtar.
With The Strange Sensation (2001-2007)
In 2002, with his then newly-formed band Strange Sensation, Plant released a widely acclaimed collection of mostly
blues and folk remakes, Dreamland. Contrasting with this lush collection of often relatively obscure remakes, the
second album with Strange Sensation, Mighty ReArranger (2005), contains new, original songs. Both have received
some of the most favourable reviews of Plant's solo career and four Grammy nominations, two in 2003 and two in
2006.
As a former member of Led Zeppelin, along with Page and John Paul
Jones, Plant received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in
2005 and the Polar Music Prize [24] in 2006.

Festival, 2007.
From 2001 to 2007, Plant actively toured the US & Europe with The
Strange Sensation. His sets typically included recent, but not only, solo
material and plenty of Led Zeppelin favourites, often with new and
expanded arrangements. A DVD titled Soundstage: Robert Plant and
the Strange Sensation, featuring his Soundstage performance (filmed at
the Soundstage Studios in Chicago on 16 September 2005), was
released in October 2006.
On 23 June 2006, Plant was the headliner (backed by Ian Hunter's

band) at the Benefit For Arthur Lee concert at New York's Beacon Theatre, a show which raised money for Lee's
medical expenses from his bout with leukaemia. Plant and band performed thirteen songs - five by Arthur Lee &
Love, five Led Zeppelin songs and three others including a duet with Ian Hunter. At the show, Plant told the
audience of his great admiration for Arthur Lee dating back to the mid-Sixties. Lee died of his illness six weeks after
the concert.
An expansive box set of his solo work, Nine Lives, was released in November 2006, which expanded all of his
albums with various b-sides, demos, and live cuts. It was accompanied by a DVD. All his solo works were
re-released with these extra tracks individually.
In 2007, Plant contributed two tracks to the Fats Domino tribute album Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino, "It
Keeps Rainin'" with the Lil' Band O' Gold and "Valley of Tears" with The Soweto Gospel Choir.

With Alison Krauss (2007-2008)

From 2007-2008, Plant recorded and performed
with bluegrass star Alison Krauss. A duet album,
Raising Sand, was released on 23 October 2007
on Rounder Records. The album, recorded in
Nashville and Los Angeles and produced by
T-Bone Burnett, includes performances of
lesser-known material from R&B, Blues, folk,
and country songwriters including Mel Tillis,
Townes Van Zandt, Gene Clark, Tom Waits, Doc
Watson, Little Milton and The Everly Brothers.
The song "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)"
from Raising Sand won a Grammy for Best Pop
Collaboration With Vocals in 2008. Raising Sand
also won Album of the Year at the 51st Grammy
Awards.[23] The album has been successful
critically and commercially, and was certified
platinum on 4 March 2008.

Plant and Krauss began an extended tour of the US and Europe in April 2008, playing music from Raising Sand and
other American roots music as well as reworked Led Zeppelin tunes. The album was nominated for the Mercury
Prize in July 2008.[24] Also in 2008, Plant performed with bluegrass musicians at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage
Festival and Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. He appeared as a surprise guest during Fairport Convention's set at the
2008 Cropredy Festival, performing Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore" with Kristina Donahue as a tribute to
Sandy Denny.
In October 2008, it was reported that Plant collaborated on an album
by original Fairport vocalist Judy Dyble, but the album has not
materialized.
On 8 February 2009, Plant and Krauss won Grammy Awards for
Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Pop Collaboration with
Vocals, Country Collaboration with Vocals, and Contemporary
Folk/Americana Album.

In 2010, Plant realised a lifelong ambition by playing live at Molineux

Stadium, home of the Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. Plant performed
with the amateur cover band No Rezerve.
Robert Plant
With Band of Joy (2010)
In July 2010, Robert Plant embarked on a
twelve-date (summer) tour in the United States
with a new group called Band of Joy (reprising
the name of his very first band in the 1960s). The
group
includes
singer
Patty
Griffin,
singer-guitarist
Buddy
Miller,
multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Darrell Scott,
bassist-vocalist
Byron
House,
and
drummer-percussionist-vocalist Marco Giovino.
After a unique show in the United States on
Plant with the Band of Joy at Birmingham Symphony Hall, 27 October
September 12, 2010 at the Bowery Ballroom in
2010
New York, another eleven-date autumn tour in
Europe was announced to last from October to November 2010.[25] North America tour dates were announced
November 16, 2010, with the first show being January 18, 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina.[26]
A new studio album called Band of Joy was released on September 13, 2010 on the Rounder Records label.[27]
Led Zeppelin-related projects and reunion rumours

Plant performed with living members of Led Zeppelin both on 13 July
1985 for Live Aid (with Phil Collins and Tony Thompson on drums)
and on 15 May 1988 for Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary. At the
1988 reunion, Jason Bonham, the son of Led Zeppelin's late drummer
John Bonham, played drums. Both sets featured only a few songs,
performed with minimal rehearsal. Plant was unhappy with both
performances, saying that "it was like sleeping with your ex-wife but
not making love." At the 1990 Silver Clef Award Winners Concert at
Knebworth, Plant was joined by Jimmy Page. Some of their set was
released on the subsequent live album and video. In 1995, Led
Plant on stage with Jimmy Page in 2007.
Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Plant
performed at the induction show with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones,
Jason Bonham, Neil Young, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, performing spirited versions of "Bring It On Home",
"Honeybee", and "When the Levee Breaks."
After years of reunion rumours, Led Zeppelin performed a full two-hour set on 10 December 2007 at the Ahmet
Ertegn Tribute Concert, with Jason again filling in on drums. Despite enormous public demand, Plant declined a
$200million offer to tour with Led Zeppelin after the 2007 show.[28] In interviews following the 2007 show, Plant
left the door open to possible future performances with Led Zeppelin, saying that he enjoyed the reunion and felt that
the show was strong musically.[29] Although Page, Jones, and Bonham have expressed the strong desire to tour as
Led Zeppelin,[30] Plant has consistently opposed a full tour and has responded negatively to questions about another
reunion. In a January, 2008 interview, he stated that he does not want to "tour like a bunch of bored old men
following the Rolling Stones around."[31] In a statement on his web site in late 2008, Plant stated, "I will not be
touring with Led Zeppelin or anyone else for the next two years. Anyone buying Led Zeppelin tickets will be buying
bogus tickets."

Robert Plant
Personal life
Robert Plant married Maureen Wilson on 9 November 1968. The couple had three children: daughter Carmen Jane
(1968) (married to Charlie Jones, Plant's bass player for solo tours); and sons Karac Pendragon (19721977) (died of
a virus; the reason Led Zeppelin's 1977 North American Tour was cut short), and Logan Romero (1979). The couple
divorced in August 1983. Also, Plant has a younger son, Jesse Lee (1991), the son of Shirley Wilson, sister of
Maureen.
On 14 August 2009, it was announced via the Wolverhampton Wanderers text message news service that "Rock
Legend and lifelong Wolves fan Robert Plant is to become the club's third Vice President." Plant officially received
the honour before kick off at the club's first match of the season against West Ham.[32] Plant was five years old when
he first visited Molineux. He recalled in an interview with his local paper Express & Star in August 2010: "I was five
when my dad took me down for the first time and Billy Wright waved at me. Honest, he did. And that was it I was
hooked from that moment.[33]
According to The Sunday Times Rich List Plant is worth 80million as of 2009.[34]
In late 2010 on BBC2, a documentary featured Robert Plant discussing his journey with Led Zeppelin and various
projects since.
Legacy
Robert Plant is one of the most significant singers in rock music and has influenced the style of many of his
contemporaries, including Geddy Lee, Ann Wilson,[35] Sammy Hagar,[36] and later rock vocalists such as Jeff
Buckley and Jack White who imitated his performing style extensively. Freddie Mercury of Queen, and Axl Rose of
Guns N' Roses were also influenced by Plant.[2] Encyclopdia Britannica notes "Exaggerating the vocal style and
expressive palette of blues singers such as Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters, [Robert] Plant created the sound that
has defined much hard rock and heavy metal singing: a high range, an abundance of distortion, loud volume, and
emotional excess".[37] Plant received the Knebworth Silver Clef Award in 1990.[38]
In 2006, heavy metal magazine Hit Parader named Plant #1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists of
All-Time, a list which included Rob Halford (2), Steven Tyler (3), Freddie Mercury (6), and Geddy Lee (13), Paul
Stanley (18), all of whom were influenced by Plant.[3] In 2008, Rolling Stone named Plant as number 15 on their list
of the 100 Greatest Singers of All-Time.[2] In 2009, he was voted the "greatest voice in rock" in a poll conducted by
Planet Rock.[4] [5] Plant was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2009 New Year
Honours for his "services to popular music".[39] [40] He was included in the Q magazine's 2009 list of "Artists Of The
Century" and was ranked at number 8 in their list of "100 Greatest Singers" in 2007.[41] [42] In 2009, Plant also won
the Outstanding Contribution to Music prize at the Q Awards.[43] He was placed at no. 3 on SPIN's list of "The 50
Greatest Rock Frontmen of All Time".[44]
On 20 September 2010 National Public Radio (NPR) named Plant as one of the "50 Great Voices" in the world.[45]

James Patrick "Jimmy" Page, OBE (born January 9, 1944) is an English multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and
record producer. He began his career as a studio session guitarist in London and was subsequently a member of The
Yardbirds from 1966 to 1968, after which he founded the English rock band Led Zeppelin.
Often viewed by critics and fans alike as one of the most influential and important guitarists and songwriters ever in
rock music,[1] [2] [3] Rolling Stone magazine has described him as "the pontiff of power riffing & probably the most
digitally sampled artist in pop today after James Brown."[4] In 2010, Jimmy Page was ranked #2 in Gibson's list of
"Top 50 Guitarists of All Time"[5] and, in 2007, #4 on Classic Rock Magazine's "100 Wildest Guitar Heroes".[6]
Page was ranked ninth in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 2003.[7] He
has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice; once as a member of The Yardbirds (1992),[8] and
once as a member of Led Zeppelin (1995).[9]
Jimmy Page
Early years
Jimmy Page was born to parents James and Patricia Page in the West London suburb of Heston, which today forms
part of the London Borough of Hounslow. His father was an industrial personnel manager and his mother was a
doctor's secretary. In 1952 they moved to Feltham, and later again to Miles Road, Epsom in Surrey, which is where
Page came across his first guitar. "I don't know whether [the guitar] was left behind by the people [in the house]
before [us], or whether it was a friend of the family's nobody seemed to know why it was there."[10] First playing
the instrument at the age of twelve years,[11] he took a few lessons in nearby Kingston, but was largely self-taught:
When I grew up there weren't many other guitarists ... There was one other guitarist in my school who
actually showed me the first chords that I learned, and I went on from there. I was bored so I taught
myself the guitar from listening to records. So obviously it was a very personal thing.[12]
Among Page's early influences were rockabilly guitarists Scotty Moore and James Burton, who both played on
recordings made by Elvis Presley. Hearing the Elvis Presley song "Baby Let's Play House" is cited by Page as being
his inspiration to take up playing the guitar.[13] Although he appears on BBC1 in 1957 with another guitar, Page
states that his first guitar was a second-hand 1959 Futurama Grazioso, which was later replaced by a Telecaster.[13]
[14]
Page's musical tastes included skiffle (a popular English music genre of the time) and acoustic folk playing,
particularly that of Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, and the blues sounds of Elmore James, B.B. King, Willie Dixon,
Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Freddie King and Hubert Sumlin.[15] "Basically, that was the start: a mixture between rock
and blues."[13]
At the age of 13, Page appeared on Huw Wheldon's All Your Own talent quest programme in a skiffle quartet, one
performance of which aired on BBC TV in 1957. The group played "Mama Don't Want To Skiffle Anymore" and
another very American-flavoured song, "In Them Ol' Cottonfields Back Home". Televised Contest [16]. When asked
by Wheldon what he wanted to do after schooling, Page said, "I want to do biological research" to find a cure for
"cancer, if it isn't discovered by then".
In an interview with Guitar Player magazine, Page stated that "there was a lot of busking in the early days, but as
they say, I had to come to grips with it, and it was a good schooling."[13] Page would take a guitar to school each day
and have it confiscated and handed back to him at 4:00 P.M.[16] Although he had an interview for a job as a
laboratory assistant, he ultimately chose to leave Danetree Secondary School, West Ewell, to pursue music
instead.[16]
Initially, Page had difficulty finding other musicians with whom he could play on a regular basis. "It wasn't as
though there was an abundance. I used to play in many groups... anyone who could get a gig together, really."[14]
Following stints backing recitals by Beat poet Royston Ellis at the Mermaid Theatre between 196061,[17] and singer
Red E. Lewis, he was asked by singer Neil Christian to join his band, The Crusaders, after Christian had seen a
fifteen-year-old Page playing in a local hall.[14] Page toured with Christian for approximately two years and later
played on several of his records, including the November 1962 single, "The Road to Love".
During his stint with Christian, Page fell seriously ill with glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) and couldn't
continue touring.[14] While recovering, he decided to put his musical career on hold and concentrate on his other
love, painting, and enrolled at Sutton Art College in Surrey.[3] As he explained in 1975:
[I was] travelling around all the time in a bus. I did that for two years after I left school, to the point where I
was starting to get really good bread. But I was getting ill. So I went back to art college. And that was a total
change in direction. That's why I say it's possible to do. As dedicated as I was to playing the guitar, I knew
doing it that way was doing me in forever. Every two months I had glandular fever. So for the next 18 months
I was living on ten dollars a week and getting my strength up. But I was still playing.[11]

Jimmy Page
Session musician
While still a student, Page would often jam on stage at The Marquee with bands such as Cyril Davies' All Stars,
Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated and with guitarists Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. He was spotted one night by John
Gibb of Brian Howard & The Silhouettes, who asked him to help record a number of singles for Columbia
Graphophone Company, including "The Worrying Kind". It wasn't until an offer from Mike Leander of Decca
Records that Page was to receive regular studio work. His first session for the label was the recording "Diamonds"
by Jet Harris and Tony Meehan, which went to Number 1 on the singles chart in early 1963.[14]
After brief stints with Carter-Lewis and the Southerners, Mike Hurst and the Method, and Mickey Finn and the Blue
Men, Page committed himself to full-time session work. As a session guitarist he was known as 'Little Jim' so there
was no confusion with other noted British session guitarist Big Jim Sullivan. Page was mainly called in to sessions
as "insurance" in instances when a replacement or second guitarist was required by the recording artist. "It was
usually myself and a drummer", he explained, "though they never mention the drummer these days, just me ...
Anyone needing a guitarist either went to Big Jim [Sullivan] or myself."[14] He has also stated that "In the initial
stages they just said, play what you want, cos at that time I couldn't read music or anything."[18]
Page was the favoured session guitarist of producer Shel Talmy, and therefore he ended up doing session work on
songs for The Who and The Kinks as a direct result of the Talmy connection.[19] Page's studio output in 1964
included Marianne Faithfull's "As Tears Go By", The Nashville Teens' "Tobacco Road", The Rolling Stones' "Heart
of Stone" (released on Metamorphosis), Van Morrison & Them's "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Here Comes the
Night", Dave Berry's "The Crying Game" and "My Baby Left Me", Brenda Lee's "Is It True," & and Petula Clark's
"Downtown." Under the auspices of producer Talmy, Page contributed to The Kinks' 1964 debut album and he
played six-string rhythm guitar on the sessions for The Who's first single "I Can't Explain"[18] (although Pete
Townshend was reluctant to allow Page's contribution on the final recording, Page also played lead guitar on the
B-side "Bald Headed Woman").[20]
In 1965 Page was hired by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham to act as house producer and A&R man
for the newly-formed Immediate Records label, which also allowed him to play on and/or produce tracks by John
Mayall, Nico, Chris Farlowe, Twice as Much and Eric Clapton. Page also formed a brief songwriting partnership
with then romantic interest, Jackie DeShannon. He also composed and recorded songs for the John Williams (not the
classical guitarist) album The Maureeny Wishful Album with Big Jim Sullivan. Page worked as session musician on
Donovan Leitch's Sunshine Superman 1966 & the Johnny Hallyday albums "Jeune Homme" (1968) and "Je Suis N
Dans La Rue" (1969), the Al Stewart album Love Chronicles in 1969, and played guitar on five tracks of Joe
Cocker's debut album, With a Little Help from My Friends.
When questioned about which songs he played on, especially ones where there exists some controversy as to what
his exact role was, Page often points out that it is hard to remember exactly what he did given the huge number of
sessions he was playing at the time.[18] [19] In a radio interview he explained that "I was doing three sessions a day,
fifteen sessions a week. Sometimes I would be playing with a group, sometimes I could be doing film music, it could
be a folk session ... I was able to fit all these different roles."[12] Although Page recorded with many notable
musicians, many of these early tracks are only available through bootlegged copies, several of which were released
by the Led Zeppelin fan club in the late 1970s. One of the rarest of these is the early jam session featuring Jimmy
Page playing with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, featuring a cover of "Little Queen of Spades" by Robert
Johnson. Several songs which featured Page's involvement were compiled on the twin album release: Jimmy Page:
Session Man Vol. 1 and Jimmy Page: Session Man Vol. 2.
Page decided to leave studio work when the increasing influence of Stax Records on popular music led to the greater
incorporation of brass and orchestral arrangements into recordings at the expense of guitars.[13] However, he has
stated that his time as a session player served as extremely good schooling for his development as a musician:
My session work was invaluable. At one point I was playing at least three sessions a day, six days a week!
And I rarely ever knew in advance what I was going to be playing. But I learned things even on my worst
30

sessions -- and believe me, I played on some horrendous things. I finally called it quits after I started getting
calls to do Muzak. I decided I couldn't live that life anymore; it was getting too silly. I guess it was destiny that
a week after I quit doing sessions Paul Samwell-Smith left The Yardbirds, and I was able to take his place. But
being a session musician was good fun in the beginning -- the studio discipline was great. They'd just count the
song off, and you couldn't make any mistakes.[15]
The Yardbirds
In late 1964, Page was approached about the possibility of replacing
Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds, but he declined the offer out of loyalty
to his friend.[14] In February 1965 Clapton quit the Yardbirds, and Page
was formally offered Clapton's spot, but because he was unwilling to
give up his lucrative career as a session musician, and because he was
still worried about his health under touring conditions, he suggested his
friend, Jeff Beck.[21] On 16 May 1966, drummer Keith Moon, bass
player John Paul Jones, keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, Jeff Beck and
Page recorded "Beck's Bolero" in London's IBC Studios. The
The Yardbirds, 1967. Clockwise from left: Jeff
experience gave Page an idea to form a new supergroup featuring
Beck, Jimmy Page, Keith Relf, Jim McCarty, and
Chris Dreja.
Beck, along with The Who's John Entwistle on bass and Keith Moon
[14]
on drums.
However, the lack of a quality vocalist and contractual
problems prevented the project from getting off the ground. During this time, Moon suggested the name "Lead
Zeppelin" for the first time, after Entwistle commented that the proceedings would take to the air like a lead balloon.
Within weeks, Page attended a Yardbirds concert at Oxford. After the show he went backstage where Paul
Samwell-Smith announced that he was leaving the group.[13] Page offered to replace Samwell-Smith and this was
accepted by the group. He initially played electric bass with the Yardbirds before finally switching to twin lead
guitar with Beck when Chris Dreja moved to bass. The musical potential of the line-up was scuttled, however, by
interpersonal conflicts caused by constant touring and a lack of commercial success, although they released one
single, "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago". (While Page and Jeff Beck played together in The Yardbirds, the trio of
Page, Beck and Clapton never played in the original group at the same time. The three guitarists did appear on stage
together at the ARMS charity concerts in 1983.)
After Beck's departure, the Yardbirds remained a quartet. They recorded one album with Page on lead guitar, Little
Games. The album received indifferent reviews and was not a commercial success, peaking at only number 80 on the
Billboard Music Charts. Though their studio sound was fairly commercial at the time, the band's live performances
were just the opposite, becoming heavier and more experimental. These concerts featured musical aspects that Page
would later perfect with Led Zeppelin, most notably performances of "Dazed and Confused".
After the departure of Keith Relf and Jim McCarty in 1968, Page reconfigured the group with a new line-up to fulfill
unfinished tour dates in Scandinavia. As he said:
Once [the other Yardbirds] decided not to continue, then I was going to continue. And shift the whole thing up
a notch ... The whole thing was putting a group together and actually being able to play together. There were a
lot of virtuoso musicians around at the time who didn't gel as a band. That was the key: to find a band that was
going to fire on all cylinders.[22]
To this end, Page recruited vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham, and he was also contacted by John
Paul Jones who asked to join.[23] During the Scandinavian tour the new group appeared as "The New Yardbirds", but
soon recalled the old joke by Keith Moon and John Entwistle. Page stuck with that name to use for his new band.
Peter Grant changed it to "Led Zeppelin", to avoid a mispronunciation of "Leed Zeppelin."[24]

Led Zeppelin
Page has explained that he had a very specific idea in mind as to what he wanted Led Zeppelin to be, from the very
beginning:
I had a lot of ideas from my days with The Yardbirds. The Yardbirds allowed me to improvise a lot in live
performance and I started building a textbook of ideas that I eventually used in Zeppelin. In addition to those
ideas, I wanted to add acoustic textures. Ultimately, I wanted Zeppelin to be a marriage of blues, hard rock and
acoustic music topped with heavy choruses -- a combination that had never been done before. Lots of light and
shade in the music.[15]
Legacy and influence

"Along with a highly original and well-rounded guitar style, influenced by blues, country and international folk music, Jimmy Page
has the grand distinction of being one of the most respected and influential songwriters in the history of rock music."
[25]
Real Rock Guitar: A Classic Rock Bible of the '60s and '70s.
Page's past experiences both in the studio and with the Yardbirds were very influential in contributing to the success
of Led Zeppelin in the 1970s. As a producer, composer, and guitarist he helped make Led Zeppelin a prototype for
countless future rock bands, and was one of the major driving forces behind the rock sound of that era, influencing a
host of other guitarists.[26] Allmusic states that "just about every rock guitarist from the late '60s/early '70s to the
present day has been influenced by Page's work with Led Zeppelin".[3] For example, Dictators bassist Andy Shernoff
states that Jimmy Page's sped up, downstroke guitar riff in "Communication Breakdown", an influential song that
contained elements of protopunk,[27] [28] was an inspiration for The Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone's downstroke
guitar style.[29] Ramone, who has described Page as "probably the greatest guitarist who ever lived",[30] stated in the
documentary "Ramones:The True Story" that he improved at his down-stroke picking style by playing the song over
and over again for the bulk of his early career.[31] Brian May of Queen, who was also influenced by Page,[32] has
said "I don't think anyone has epitomised riff writing better than Jimmy Page - he's one of the great brains of rock
music".[33] Tom Scholz of Boston was heavily influenced by Jimmy Page and credits the dual guitar harmonies in
Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" as the inspiration for Boston's distinctive sound.[34] Page's guitar solo from
the song "Heartbreaker" has been credited by Eddie Van Halen as being the inspiration for his two-hand tapping
technique after he had seen Led Zeppelin perform in 1971.[35] Similarly, Steve Vai has also commented about the
song in a September 1998 Guitar World interview: "This one [Heartbreaker] had the biggest impact on me as a
youth. It was defiant, bold, and edgier than hell. It really is the definitive rock guitar solo."[36]
Many other rock guitarists were also influenced by Jimmy Page, such as Ace
Frehley,[37] Joe Satriani,[38] John Frusciante,[39] James Hetfield,[40] Kirk
Hammett,[41] Zakk Wylde,[42] Yngwie Malmsteen,[43] Ritchie Blackmore,[44]
Tony Iommi,[45] Joe Perry,[46] Angus Young,[47] Slash,[48] Dave Mustaine,[49]
Mike McCready,[50] Jerry Cantrell,[51] Stone Gossard,[52] Mick Mars,[53] Paul
Stanley,[54] Alex Lifeson,[55] and Dan Hawkins.[56]
Page in 2008 at the Mojo Awards
Page has been described by Uncut as the "rock's greatest and most mysterious
guitar hero".[57] According to MSNBC Jimmy Page "played some of the most
fundamental and memorable guitar in rock historyfrom the heaviest crunch to
the most delicate acoustic finger picking."[58] Page's solo in the famous epic
"Stairway to Heaven" has been voted by readers of Guitar World[59] and Total
Guitar as the greatest guitar solo of all time, and he was named 'Guitarist of the
Year' five times during the 1970s in Creem magazine's annual reader poll. Guitar
Jimmy Page
World wrote: "Truly a guitar god, Jimmy Page is one of the most captivating soloists the rock world has ever
known."[60] In 1996 Mojo Magazine ranked him number 7 on their list of "100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time".[61]
In 2002 he was voted the second greatest guitarist of all time in a Total Guitar magazine reader poll.[62] In 2003,
Rolling Stone magazine named him number nine on their list of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time". In 2007,
Classic Rock Magazine ranked him #4 on their list of the "100 Wildest Guitar Heroes".[63] Gigwise.com, an online
music magazine, ranked Page #2 on their list of the "50 greatest guitarists ever" in 2008.[64] In August 2009, Time
Magazine ranked him the 6th greatest electric-guitar player of all time.[65] In 2010, Jimmy Page was ranked #2 on
Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time".[5]
David Fricke, a senior editor at Rolling Stone magazine, described Jimmy Page in 1988 as "probably the most
digitally sampled artist in pop today after James Brown."[4] Roger Daltrey of The Who has been a longtime fan of
Page[66] and expressed his desire to form a supergroup with Page in 2010 saying: "Id love to do something, Id love
to do an album with Jimmy Page."[67] Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones has described Jimmy Page as "one of
the best guitar players I've ever known."[68] [69] Jimmy Page was the first inductee onto the British Walk of Fame in
August 2004.[70] Page was awarded "Living Legend Award" at Classic Rock Magazine Roll of Honour 2007.[71] In
June 2008, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Surrey for his services to the music
industry.[72] [73] Page was inducted into Mojo Hall Of Fame at the magazine's award ceremony on 11 June 2010.[74]
In August 2010, Auburn University graduate student Justin Havird named a new species of fish
"Lepidocephalichthys zeppelini" after Led Zeppelin, because the fish's pectoral fin reminded him of the double-neck
guitar used by Jimmy Page.[75] [76]
Equipment
For the recording of most of Led Zeppelin material from Led Zeppelin's
second album onwards, Page used a Gibson Les Paul guitar (sold to him
by Joe Walsh) with Marshall amplification. A Harmony Sovereign H-1260
was used in-studio on Led Zeppelin III and Led Zeppelin IV and on-stage
from 5 March 1971 to 28 June 1972. During the studio sessions for Led
Zeppelin, and later for recording the guitar solo in "Stairway to Heaven",
he used a Fender Telecaster (a gift from Jeff Beck).[77] He also used a
Danelectro 3021, tuned to DADGAD, most notably on live performances
of "Kashmir". He usually recorded in studio with a Vox AC30, Fender,
and Orange amplification. His use of the Sola Sound Tone Bender
Professional MKII fuzzbox ("How Many More Times", "Whole Lotta
Love"), MXR Phase 90 ("The Wanton Song", "Achilles Last Stand"),
MXR Blue Box ("Fool In The Rain"), Danelectro Coral electric sitar
("Ten Years Gone"), slide guitar ("You Shook Me", "Dancing Days", "In
My Time of Dying", "What Is and What Should Never Be", "Hats Off To
Roy Harper", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp"), banjo ("Gallows Pole"), pedal steel
Page became famous in concert for playing a
guitar ("Your Time Is Gonna Come", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You",
double-necked Gibson guitar
"Tangerine", "That's the Way" and for effect at the very end of "Over the
Hills and Far Away"), and acoustic guitar ("Black Mountain Side/White Summer", "Going To California",
"Bron-Yr-Aur",& "The Rain Song") also demonstrated his versatility and creativity as a composer.
Page is famous for playing his guitar with a cello bow, as on the live versions of the songs "Dazed and Confused"
and "How Many More Times". This was a technique he developed during his session days, although he was not the
first guitarist to use a bow, since Eddie Phillips of The Creation had done so prior to Page.[19] On MTV's Led
Zeppelin Rockumentary, Page said that he obtained the idea of playing the guitar with a bow from David McCallum,
Sr. who was also a session musician. Page used his Fender Telecaster and later his Gibson Les Paul for his bow

solos.
On a number of Led Zeppelin songs Page experimented with feedback devices and a theremin. He used a Wah-wah
pedal, both in the traditional method of rocking the pedal back and forth as done by Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton,
but also by simply leaving the pedal fully forward to enhance the treble. The latter technique was used on the solos
for "Communication Breakdown" and "Whole Lotta Love," while the former was mostly seen in live performances.
Also during the late 1970s, Page was also among a few guitarists to use the Roland guitar synthesiser, which can be
heard on the 1979 album "In Through the Out Door".
Music production techniques

Jimmy Page is credited for the innovations in sound recording he brought to the studio during the years he was a
member of Led Zeppelin,[78] [79] many of which he had initially developed as a session musician:[80]
This apprenticeship ... became a part of [learning] how things were recorded. I started to learn
microphone placements and things like that, what did and what didn't work. I certainly knew what did
and didn't work with drummers because they put drummers in these little sound booths that had no
sound deflection at all, and the drums would just sound awful. The reality of it is the drum is a musical
instrument, it relies on having a bright room and a live room ... And so bit by bit I was learning really
how not to record.[12]
He developed a reputation for employing effects in new ways and trying out different methods of using microphones
and amplification. During the late 1960s, most British music producers placed microphones directly in front of
amplifiers and drums, resulting in the sometimes "tinny" sound of the recordings of the era. Page commented to
Guitar World magazine that he felt the drum sounds of the day in particular "sounded like cardboard boxes."[78]
Instead, Page was a fan of 1950s recording techniques, Sun Studios being a particular favourite. In the same Guitar
World interview, Page remarked, "Recording used to be a science", and "[engineers] used to have a maxim: distance
equals depth." Taking this maxim to heart, Page developed the idea of placing an additional microphone some
distance from the amplifier (as much as twenty feet) and then recording the balance between the two. By adopting
this technique, Page became one of the first British producers to record a band's "ambient sound" - the distance of a
note's time-lag from one end of the room to the other.[81]
For the recording of several Led Zeppelin tracks, such as "Whole Lotta Love" and "You Shook Me", Page
additionally utilised "reverse echo" - a technique which he claims to have invented himself while with The Yardbirds
(he had originally developed the method when recording the 1967 single "Ten Little Indians").[78] This production
technique involved hearing the echo before the main sound instead of after it, achieved by turning the tape over and
employing the echo on a spare track, then turning the tape back over again to get the echo preceding the signal.
Page has stated that, as producer, he deliberately changed the audio engineers on Led Zeppelin albums, from Glyn
Johns for the first album, to Eddie Kramer for Led Zeppelin II, to Andy Johns for Led Zeppelin III and later albums.
He explained that "I consciously kept changing engineers because I didn't want people to think that they were
responsible for our sound. I wanted people to know it was me."[78]
John Paul Jones has acknowledged Page's production techniques as being a key component of the success of Led
Zeppelin:
The backwards echo stuff [and] a lot of the microphone techniques were just inspired. Using distance-miking...
and small amplifiers. Everybody thinks we go in the studio with huge walls of amplifiers, but Page doesnt. He
uses a really small amplifier and he just mikes it up really well, so that it fits into a sonic picture.[82]
In an interview that Page himself gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993, he remarked on his work as a producer:
Many people think of me as just a riff guitarist, but I think of myself in broader terms... As a producer I would
like to be remembered as someone who was able to sustain a band of unquestionable individual talent, and
push it to the forefront during its working career. I think I really captured the best of our output, growth,

change and maturity on tape -- the multifaceted gem that is Led Zeppelin.[15]
Post-Led Zeppelin career

Led Zeppelin broke up in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham at
Page's home, The Old Mill House at Clewer in Berkshire. For some time Page
refused to touch a guitar out of sadness for the loss of his friend Bonham,[18] [82]
but he eventually made a return to the stage at a Jeff Beck show in March 1981 at
the Hammersmith Odeon.[83] Also in 1981 Page joined with Yes bassist Chris
Squire and drummer Alan White to form a supergroup called XYZ (for
ex-Yes-Zeppelin). They rehearsed several times, but the project was shelved.
Demos of these sessions have turned up on bootleg and they reveal that some of
the material emerged on later projects, notably The Firm's "Fortune Hunter" and
Yes songs "Mind Drive" and "Can You Imagine?". Page would later join Yes on
stage in 1984 at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, playing "I'm Down".
In 1982 Page collaborated with director Michael Winner to record the Death
Wish II soundtrack. This, and several subsequent Page recordings including
Death Wish III soundtrack (1985), were recorded and produced at his own
recording studio, The Sol in Cookham, which he had purchased from Gus
Dudgeon in the early 1980s.

Francisco, 2 December 1983
In 1983 Page appeared with the A.R.M.S. (Action Research for Multiple Sclerosis) charity series of concerts which
honoured Small Faces bass player Ronnie Lane, who suffered from the disease. For the first shows at the Royal
Albert Hall in London, Page's set consisted of songs from the Death Wish II soundtrack (with Steve Winwood on
vocals) and an instrumental version of "Stairway to Heaven". A four-city tour of the United States followed, with
Paul Rodgers of Bad Company replacing Winwood as vocalist. During the US tour, Page and Rodgers also
performed "Midnight Moonlight" which would later be recorded for The Firm's first album. All of the shows
featured an on stage jam of "Layla" that reunited Page with Yardbirds guitarists Beck and Eric Clapton. According to
the book Hammer of the Gods, it was reportedly around this time that Page told friends that he'd just given up heroin
after seven years of use. On 13 December 1983, Page joined Robert Plant on-stage for one encore at the
Hammersmith Odeon in London.
Page next linked up with Roy Harper for the 1984 album (Whatever Happened to Jugula?) and occasional concerts,
performing a predominantly acoustic set at folk festivals under various guises such as the MacGregors, and
Themselves. Also in 1984 Page recorded with former Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant as The Honeydrippers on
the albumThe Honeydrippers: Volume 1, and with John Paul Jones on the film soundtrack Scream for Help.
Page subsequently collaborated with Paul Rodgers to record two albums under the name The Firm. The first album,
released in 1985, was the self-titled The Firm. Popular songs included "Radioactive" and "Satisfaction Guaranteed".
The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard pop albums chart and went gold in the US. It was followed by
Mean Business in 1986. The band toured in support of both albums but soon split up.
Various other projects followed, such as session work for Graham Nash, Stephen Stills and The Rolling Stones (on
their 1986 single "One Hit (to the Body)"). In 1986, Page reunited temporarily with his ex-Yardbirds band members
to play on several tracks of the Box of Frogs album Strange Land.[84] Page released a solo album entitled Outrider in
1988 which featured contributions from Robert Plant, with Page contributing in turn to Plant's solo album Now and
Zen, which was released the same year. Page also embarked on a collaboration with David Coverdale in 1993
entitled Coverdale Page.
Throughout these years Page also reunited with the other former members of Led Zeppelin to perform live on a few
occasions, most notably in 1985 for the Live Aid concert with both Phil Collins and Tony Thompson filling drum

duties. However, the band members considered this performance to be sub-standard, with Page having been let down
by a poorly tuned Les Paul.[85] Page, Plant and Jones, as well as John Bonham's son Jason, performed at the Atlantic
Records 40th Anniversary show on 14 May 1988, closing the 12-hour show.[85] In 1990, a Knebworth concert to aid
the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre and the British School for Performing Arts and Technology saw Plant
unexpectedly joined by Page to perform "Misty Mountain Hop", "Wearing and Tearing" and "Rock and Roll". Page
also performed with the band's former members at various private family functions.
In 1994, Page reunited with Plant for the penultimate performance in MTV's "Unplugged" series. The 90-minute
special, dubbed Unledded, premiered to the highest ratings in MTV's history. In October of the same year, the
session was released as the CD No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded, and in 2004 as the DVD No
Quarter Unledded. Following a highly successful mid-90s tour to support No Quarter, Page and Plant recorded
1998's Walking into Clarksdale.
Since 1990, Page has been heavily involved in remastering the entire Led Zeppelin back catalogue and is currently
participating in various charity concerts and charity work, particularly the Action for Brazil's Children Trust (ABC
Trust), founded by his wife Jimena Gomez-Paratcha in 1998. In the same year, Page played guitar for rap
singer/producer Puff Daddy's song "Come with Me", which heavily samples Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and was
included in the soundtrack of Godzilla. The two later performed the song on Saturday Night Live.
In October 1999, Page teamed up with The Black Crowes for a two-night performance of material from the Led
Zeppelin catalogue and old blues and rock standards. The concert was recorded and released as a double live album,
Live at the Greek in 2000. In 2001 he made an appearance on stage with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and Wes
Scantlin of Puddle of Mudd at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards in Frankfurt, where they performed a version
of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You".[86]
In 2005, Page was awarded the Order of the British Empire in recognition of his
Brazilian charity work for Task Brazil and Action For Brazil's Children's
Trust,[87] made an honorary citizen of Rio de Janeiro later that year, and was
awarded a Grammy award.[88]
In November 2006, Led Zeppelin was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame.
The television broadcasting of the event consisted of an introduction to the band
by various famous admirers (including Roger Taylor, Slash, Joe Perry, Steven
Tyler, Jack White and Tony Iommi), a presentation of an award to Jimmy Page,
and then a short speech by the guitarist. After this, rock group Wolfmother
played a tribute to Led Zeppelin, playing the song "Communication
Breakdown".[89] [90]
Jimmy Page performing at the Led
In 2006, Page attended the induction of Led Zeppelin to the UK Music Hall of
Zeppelin reunion concert (2007)
Fame. During an interview for the BBC for said event, he expressed plans to
record new material in 2007, saying "It's an album that I really need to get out of my system... there's a good album
in there and it's ready to come out" and "Also there will be some Zeppelin things on the horizon".[91]
On 6 January 2007, Page was featured at #19 on Channel 4's The Ultimate Hellraiser, a countdown of music's top 25
who "lived the rock 'n' roll lifestyle". The show's reason for featuring Page was almost exclusively attributed to the
groupies who toured with Led Zeppelin. In addition, many of John Bonham's shenanigans (for example driving a
motorcycle down a hotel corridor) were falsely blamed on Page.
On 2 December 2007, Contactmusic.com confirmed that Page was "Too traumatised for Zeppelin reunion" until
now. He states in the article, "After John Bonham's death I spent 15 years not even wanting to think about Led
Zeppelin. But I also have difficulty thinking it's all over. Now at least one concert is planned and I'm incredibly
happy about that."
Jimmy Page
On 10 December 2007, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, as well as John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham
played a charity concert at the O2 Arena London.
For the 2008 Olympics, Jimmy Page, David Beckham and Leona Lewis represented Britain during the closing
ceremonies on 24 August 2008. Beckham rode a double-decker bus into the stadium, and Page and Lewis performed
"Whole Lotta Love", representing the change in Olympic venue to London in 2012.[92]
In 2008 Page co-produced a documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim entitled It Might Get Loud. The film
examines the history of the electric guitar, focusing on the careers and styles of Page, The Edge, and Jack White. The
film premiered on 5 September 2008 at the Toronto Film Festival.[93] Page also participated in the 3 part BBC
documentary London Calling: The making of the Olympic handover ceremony on 4 March 2009.[94] On 4 April
2009, Page inducted Jeff Beck into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[95] Page has announced his 2010 solo tour while
talking to the Sky News on 16 December 2009.[96] [97]
On 7 June 2008, Page and John Paul Jones appeared with the Foo Fighters to close out the band's concert at
Wembley Stadium, performing "Rock and Roll" and "Ramble On."
In January 2010, Jimmy Page announced he is publishing an autobiography through Genesis Publications, in a
hand-crafted, limited edition of 2,500 copies.[98] Page has also been honoured with a first-ever Global Peace Award
by the United Nations' Pathways to Peace organisation after confirming reports that he would be among the
headliners at a planned Show of Peace Concert in Beijing, China on 10 October 2010.[99] [100]
On 1 May, 2011, Page was given the Best Guitarist In The World award for his unique guitar skills.
Legal action
In July 2007 Page gave testimony and observed evidence on behalf of Led Zeppelin at a court case in Glasgow
against an alleged bootlegger. Robert Langley was charged with, and denied, 12 counts of producing and selling
products without copyright permission.[101] Page was shown hundreds of CDs and DVDs, ranging from his solo
material to his time in Led Zeppelin and The Yardbirds, which Langley was allegedly selling in Scotland during
2005. Many contain footage and audio from Page's personal collection, stolen from his home in the early 1980s.[102]
The goods were found on sale as far away as New York, where shop-owners thought they were official. Page later
said "If you have something like this that appears legitimate then it is just not right". Page concluded his day in court
by greeting waiting fans and signing autographs.[102] Langley subsequently changed his plea to guilty, and was
sentenced to a 20 month prison term.[103]
Personal life
Page's daughter, Scarlet Page, (born in 1971) is a photographer. Her mother is French model Charlotte Martin, who
was Page's partner from 1970 to about 1982 or 1983. Page called her 'My Lady'.[104]
Page also had relationships with a number of rock groupies in the 1970s, including Pamela Des Barres, Bebe Buell
and Lori Maddox.[105] [106]
From 1986 to 1995 Page was married to Patricia Ecker, a model and waitress. They have a son, James Patrick Page
III (born April 1988). Page later married Jimena Gmez-Paratcha, whom he met on the No Quarter tour in
Brasil.[107] He adopted her oldest daughter Jana (born 1994), and they had two children together; Zofia Jade (born
1997) and Ashen Josan (born 1999).[108]
In 1972 Page bought, from Richard Harris, the home which William Burges designed for himself in London, The
Tower House. "I had an interest going back to my teens in the pre-Raphaelite movement and the architecture of
Burges", he said. "What a wonderful world to discover." The reputation of William Burges (18271881) rests on his
extravagant designs and his contribution to the Gothic revival in architecture in the nineteenth century.[109]

Jimmy Page
From 1980 to 2004 Page owned 'The Mill House', Mill Lane, Windsor, UK - formerly the home of actor Michael
Caine. Fellow Led Zeppelin band member John Bonham died at the house in 1980.
From the early 1970s to well into the 1980s, Jimmy Page owned the Boleskine House, the former residence of
occultist Aleister Crowley.[110] [111] Sections of Page's fantasy sequence in the film The Song Remains the Same
were filmed at night on the mountain side directly behind Boleskine House. Page sold the house in the early
1990s.[111]
According to The Sunday Times Rich List Page's assets are worth 75million as of 2009.[112] He currently resides in
West Sussex.
Recreational drug use

Page has acknowledged heavy recreational drug use throughout the 1970s. In an interview with Guitar World
magazine in 2003, he stated:
I can't speak for the [other members of the band], but for me drugs were an integral part of the whole thing,
right from the beginning, right to the end.[113]
After the band's 1973 concert tour of the United States, Page told Nick Kent:
Oh, everyone went over the top a few times. I know I did and, to be honest with you, I don't really remember
much of what happened.[114]
In 1975, Page began to use heroin, a fact attributed to Richard Cole, who stated that Page (in addition to himself)
was taking the drug during the recording sessions of the album Presence in that year, and that Page admitted to him
shortly afterwards that he was addicted to the drug.[115]
By Led Zeppelin's 1977 tour of the United States, Page's heroin addiction was beginning to hamper his guitar
playing performances.[3] [81] [105] By this time the guitarist had lost a noticeable amount of weight. His on-stage
appearance was not the only obvious change: his addiction caused Page to become so inward and isolated it altered
the dynamic between him and Plant considerably.[116] During the recording sessions for In Through the Out Door in
1978, Page's diminished influence on the album (relative to bassist John Paul Jones) is partly attributed to his
ongoing heroin addiction, which resulted in his absence from the studio for long periods of time.[117]
Page reportedly kicked his heroin habit in the early 1980s.[118] In a 1988 interview with Musician magazine, Page
took offence when the interviewer noted that heroin had been associated with his name, and insisted "Do I look as if
I'm a smack addict? Well, I'm not. Thank you very much."[119]
In an interview he gave to Q magazine in 2003, Page responded to a question as to whether he regrets getting so
involved in heroin and cocaine:
I don't regret it at all because when I needed to be really focused, I was really focused. That's it. Both Presence
and In Through the Out Door were only recorded in three weeks: that's really going some. You've got to be on
top of it.[120]

Interest in the occult

The appearance of four symbols on the jacket of Led Zeppelin's fourth
album has been linked to Page's interest in the occult.[121] The four
symbols represented each member of the band. Page's own so-called
"Zoso" symbol originated in 'Ars Magica Arteficii' (1557) by J Cardan,
an old alchemical grimoire, where it has been identified as a sigil
consisting of zodiac signs. The sigil is reproduced in "Dictionary of
Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils" by Fred Gettings.[122] [123]
During tours and performances after the release of the fourth album,
Page often had the "Zoso" symbol embroidered on his clothes, along
with zodiac symbols. These were visible most notably on his "Dragon
Suit", which included the signs for Capricorn, Scorpio and Cancer
which are Page's Sun, Ascendant, and Moon signs, respectively.
derivative of Page's Saturn sigil, itself derived

from a 1557 source
The artwork inside the album cover of Led Zeppelin IV is from a painting by William Holman Hunt, influenced by
the traditional Rider/Waite Tarot card design for the card called "The Hermit".[121] Page transforms into this
character during his fantasy sequence in Led Zeppelin's concert film The Song Remains the Same.
In the early 1970s Page owned an occult bookshop and publishing house, "The Equinox Booksellers and Publishers"
in Kensington High Street, London, eventually closing it as the increasing success of Led Zeppelin resulted in his
having insufficient time to devote to it. The company published a facsimile of English occultist's Aleister Crowley's
1904 edition of The Goetia.[124] Page has maintained a strong interest in Crowley for many years. In 1978, he
explained:
I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation
of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence,
crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age we're
in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points he's made seem to manifest themselves all down
the line.[125]
Page was commissioned to write the soundtrack music for the film Lucifer Rising by another occultist and Crowley
admirer, underground movie director Kenneth Anger. Page ultimately produced 23 minutes of music which Anger
felt was insufficient because the film ran for 28 minutes and Anger wanted the film to have a full soundtrack. Anger
claimed Page took three years to deliver the music, and the final product was only 23 minutes of droning. The
director also slammed the guitarist in the press by calling him a "dabbler" in the occult and an addict, and being too
strung out on drugs to complete the project. Page countered that he had fulfilled all his obligations, even going so far
as to lend Anger his own film editing equipment to help him finish the project.[126]
Although Page collected works by Crowley, he has never described himself as a Thelemite nor was he ever initiated
into the O.T.O. The Equinox Bookstore and Boleskine House were both sold off during the 1980s, as Page settled
into family life and participated in charity work.

Equipment details
Electric guitars
1959 Fender Telecaster (given to Page by Jeff Beck and repainted with a psychedelic dragon design by Page)
played with the Yardbirds. Used to record the first Led Zeppelin album and used on the early tours during
1968-1969. It was later used to record the "Stairway To Heaven" solo.
1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 1) (Sold to Page by Joe Walsh) modified with a shaved neck and the
addition of a push/pull pot to put the humbuckers out of phase while the toggle is in the middle position.[127]
English luthier Roger Giffin re-produced an exact replica of this guitar for Page in 1991 (nicknamed No. 3,
Jimmy had a deal with Gibson that he would receive the first guitar from the 26 custom guitars that were
designed). Giffin's work was later copied for Gibson's original run of Jimmy Page Signature model Les Pauls in
the mid-1990s.[128] [129] [130] This guitar was also used by Gibson as the model for the company's second run of
Page signature models in 2004. Produced by Gibson and aged by veteran luthier Tom Murphy, this second
generation of Page tribute models was limited to 25 guitars signed by Page himself; and only 150 guitars in total
for the aged model issue.[130] [131]
1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 2) with a shaved down neck to match the profile on his #1; He added four
push/pull pots to coil split the humbuckers as well as phase and series switches which were added under the pick
guard after the break-up of Led Zeppelin.
1971 Gibson EDS-1275 (used for playing "Stairway to Heaven", "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain
Song", "Celebration Day" during live concerts and the Knebworth, "Tangerine" at the 1975 Earls Court shows,
40
Jimmy Page
and "Sick Again" throughout the 1977 U.S. tour)

1978 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
1959 Danelectro 3021 AKA 59-DC (tuned to DADGAD and used live for "White Summer", "Black Mountain
Side", "Kashmir", and "Midnight Moonlight" with The Firm).
Danelectro 3021 (tuned to open G and used on the Outrider tour for "In My Time Of Dying". This one has a
smaller pickguard, as opposed to the large "seal" pickguard on his first Danelectro.
1967 Vox 12-String used during the recording for the Yardbirds Little Games album and for on-stage
appearances.
1960 Black Gibson Les Paul Custom (with Bigsby Tremolo) - stolen in 1970. An ad was placed by Page for the
recovery of this highly modified instrument but the guitar was never recovered. In 2008 the Gibson Custom Shop
produced a limited run of 25 re-creations of the guitar, each with a Bigsby Tremolo and a new custom 6-way
toggle switch.[132]
Rickenbacker 12 String.
1969 Gibson Les Paul Standard (seen in "The Song Remains The Same" during the theremin/solo section of
"Whole Lotta Love" and for "Kashmir" at the O2 reunion concert. This guitar was later fitted with a
Parsons-White B-string bender and used extensively by Page from the mid-to-late 1980s onward, including the
Outrider tour, and the Page/Plant "Unledded" special on MTV. During Whole Lotta Love in the "The Song
Remains The Same" movie, you can see the back of the head and there is no volute (meaning it is pre-1970), and
other close up pictures have revealed a pancake body (those came along in mid 1969 and went away after 1976);
thus with no volute and a pancake body, it must be a mid-1969 Les Paul.
1964 Lake Placid Blue Fender Stratocaster (Used during recording sessions for In Through the Out Door at Earls
Court 1975 and in 1979 at Knebworth for In the Evening).
1966 Cream Fender Telecaster (Used on Physical Graffiti and on All My Love during the Tour Over Europe
1980).
1953 Brown Fender Telecaster featuring a Parsons and White B-string bender, and neck salvaged from the
"Dragon Telecaster". Seen primarily during the 1980s The Firm and Outrider era. Also used at Knebworth in
1979, notably on "Ten Years Gone" and "Hot Dog". (Its deep chocolate paint scheme was once dubbed
"Botswana Brown" by a journalist in the early 1980s, a throwaway joke that's stuck with the guitar since.)
1965 Fender Electric XII (12-String) used to record Thank You and Stairway to Heaven.
1977 Gibson RD Artist (used at Knebworth in 1979, on "Misty Mountain Hop").
Gibson SG (seldom used on the 1980 tour).
1957 Selmer Grazioso, a copy of a Fender Stratocaster.
1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (with Bigsby Tremolo) borrowed from Keith Richards while recording with the
Rolling Stones during their Heart of Stone sessions.
1957 Fender Stratocaster (seen at Sol Studios and played at a Bad Company concert).
White Fender Stratocaster (used to record Thank You).
Gibson ES5 Switchmaster (used in the Death Wish II soundtrack).
1956 Gretsch 6120
2006 Gibson Custom Shop ES-350 (used at the O2 Arena during In My Time Of Dying).
Another Gibson doubleneck guitar was given to him after he agreed to allow the company to reproduce his
original EDS-1275. The guitar was picked by Page out of numerous others after he struck one chord. Page
declared "This is it, this is the one!" The guitar was marked (beforehand) #1.
2007 Gibson Black Beauty custom (remake of his original stolen in 1970, has modifications concerning pick-up
configurations which include a 6-way pick-up selector, and coil-tap on the bridge pick-up).
Les Paul Goldtop w/ Transperformance tuning device Used on Atlantic 40th reunion, Coverdale/Page recordings,
and Page/Plant tours.
Mid 80s Black Kramer guitar with a tremolo arm Used for Outrider.

Collection
Jimmy Page is reputed to own over 2,000 guitars. Page revealed this rough estimate to BBC Radio 2 presenter Stuart
Maconie in June 2005.
Due to the fact the guitar was too heavy, one of Jimmy Page's Les Paul Custom Black Beauty guitars is now owned
by Dan Hawkins of The Darkness.[139] It is not the same Black Beauty that was stolen from him in 1970.
Signature models
Gibson released Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul which was discontinued in 1999, then released another version in
2004, which has also been discontinued. The 2004 version included 25 guitars signed by Page, 150 aged by a former
Gibson employee (an acknowledged aging 'master'), and 840 'unlimited' production guitars. The Jimmy Page
Signature EDS-1275 has been produced by Gibson. Recently, Gibson reproduced Page's 1960 Les Paul Black
Beauty, the one stolen from him in 1970, with modern modifications. This guitar was sold in 2008 with a run of 25,
again signed by Page, plus an additional 500 unsigned guitars.
In December 2009, Gibson released the 'Gibson Jimmy Page #2 Les Paul'. This is a re-creation of Page's famous
number 2 Les Paul used by him since about 1974 until present. The model includes the same pick-up switching setup
as devised by Page, shaved-down neck profile, Burstbucker pick-up at neck and 'Pagebucker' at bridge. A total of
325 were made in three finishes: 25 Aged by Gibson's Tom Murphy, signed and played by Page ($26,000), 100 aged
($16,000) and 200 with VOS finish ($12,000).

John Paul Jones (born John Baldwin on 3 January 1946) is an English multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger
and record producer. Best known as the bassist, mandolinist, and keyboardist for English rock band Led Zeppelin,
Jones has since developed a solo career and has gained even more respect as both a musician and a producer.[1] A
versatile musician, Jones also plays guitar, koto, lap steel guitars, autoharp, violin, ukulele, sitar, cello, continuum
and the three over-dubbed recorder parts heard on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".[2]
According to Allmusic, Jones "has left his mark on rock & roll music history as an innovative musician, arranger,
and director."[1] Many notable rock bassists have been influenced by John Paul Jones, including John Deacon,[3]
Geddy Lee,[4] Steve Harris,[5] Flea,[6] Gene Simmons,[7] and Krist Novoselic.[8]
Jones is currently part of the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures with Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone
Age/Kyuss/Eagles of Death Metal) and Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters). He plays the bass, piano and other
instruments. The supergroup released their first single "New Fang", and their debut, self-titled album on 17

Biography
Early years
Jones was born in Sidcup, Kent (now part of Greater London).[9] He started playing piano at age six,[10] learning
from his father, Joe Baldwin, a pianist and arranger for big bands in the 1940s and 1950s, notably with the Ambrose
Orchestra. His mother was also in the music business which allowed the family to often perform together touring
around England.[11] His influences ranged from the blues of Big Bill Broonzy, the jazz of Charles Mingus, to the
classical piano of Sergei Rachmaninoff.[12]
Because his parents often toured, Jones was sent to boarding school at a young age.[13] He was a student at Christ's
College, Blackheath, London where he formally studied music. At the age of 14, Jones became choirmaster and
organist at a local church and during that year, he also bought his first bass guitar, a Dallas solid body electric
followed by a 1962 Fender Jazz Bass which he used until 1975. The fluid playing of Chicago musician Phil
Upchurch on his You Can't Sit Down LP, which includes a memorable bass solo, is cited by Jones as being his
inspiration to take up the instrument.[14]
Session work
Jones joined his first band, The Deltas, at 15. He then played bass for jazz-rock London group, Jett Blacks, a
collective that included guitarist John McLaughlin.[15] Jones' big break came in 1962 when he was hired by Jet
Harris and Tony Meehan of the successful British group The Shadows for a two-year stint. Shortly before hiring
Jones, Harris and Meehan had just had a Number 1 hit with "Diamonds" (a track on which Jones' bandmate-to-be
Jimmy Page had played.) Jones' collaboration with the Shadows nearly prevented the future formation of Led
Zeppelin, when the parties engaged in talks about the possibility of Jones replacing their bassist Brian Locking, who
left the band in October 1963, but John Rostill was ultimately chosen to fill the position.
In 1964, on the recommendation of Meehan, Jones began studio session work with Decca Records. From then until
1968, he played on hundreds of recording sessions.[16] He soon expanded his studio work by playing keyboards,
arranging and undertaking general studio direction, resulting in his services coming under much demand. He worked
with numerous artists including the Rolling Stones on Their Satanic Majesties Request (Jones' string arrangement is
heard on "She's a Rainbow");[17] Herman's Hermits; Donovan (on "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow"); Jeff
Beck; Franoise Hardy; Cat Stevens; Rod Stewart; Shirley Bassey; Lulu; and numerous others. As well as recording
sessions with Dusty Springfield, Jones also played bass for her Talk of the Town series of performances. His
arranging and playing on Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" resulted in producer Mickie Most using his services as
choice arranger for many of his own projects, with Tom Jones, Nico, Wayne Fontana, the Walker Brothers, and
many others. Such was the extent of Jones' studio work - amounting to hundreds of sessions - that he said years later
that "I cant remember three quarters of the sessions I was on."[18]
It was during his time as a session player that Jones adopted the stage name John Paul Jones. This name was
suggested to him by a friend, Andrew Loog Oldham, who had seen a poster for the film John Paul Jones in
France.[19] He released his first solo recording as John Paul Jones, "Baja" (written by Lee Hazlewood and produced
by Oldham) / "A Foggy Day in Vietnam", as a single on Pye Records in April 1964.[20]
Jones has stated that, as a session musician, he was completing two and three sessions a day, six and seven days a
week.[21] However, by 1968 he was quickly feeling burnt out due to the heavy workload: "I was arranging 50 or 60
things a month and it was starting to kill me."[22]

Formation
During his time as a session player, Jones often crossed paths with guitarist Jimmy Page,[23] a fellow session veteran.
In June 1966, Page joined The Yardbirds, and in 1967 Jones contributed to that band's Little Games album. The
following winter, during the sessions for Donovan's The Hurdy Gurdy Man, Jones expressed to Page a desire to be
part of any projects the guitarist might be planning.[24] Later that year, The Yardbirds disbanded, leaving Page and
bassist Chris Dreja to complete some previously booked Yardbirds dates in Scandinavia. Before a new band could be
assembled, Dreja left to take up photography. Jones, at the suggestion of his wife,[21] asked Page about the vacant
position, and the guitarist eagerly invited Jones to collaborate. Page later explained:
"I was working at the sessions for Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man, and John Paul Jones was looking after the
musical arrangements. During a break, he asked me if I could use a bass player in the new group I was
forming. He had a proper music training, and he had quite brilliant ideas. I jumped at the chance of getting
him."``[25]
Vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham joined the two to form a quartet. Initially dubbed the "New
Yardbirds" for the Scandinavian dates, the band soon became known as Led Zeppelin.
Contribution to the band

Jones' decision to leave session work and join a group was driven by
his desire to express his artistic creativity. Jones' temperament,
musicianship and experience were crucial toward the success of the
band. He was responsible for the classic bass lines of the group,
notably those in "Ramble On" and "The Lemon Song" (Led Zeppelin
II), and power crunch and shifting time signatures, such as those in
"Black Dog" (Led Zeppelin IV). As Led Zeppelin's rhythm
section-mate with drummer John Bonham, Jones shared an
appreciation for funk and soul rhythmic grooves which strengthened
and enhanced their musical affinity.[26] In an interview he gave to
Global Bass magazine, Jones remarked on this common musical
interest:
Derivative of Jones's triquetra sigil used in the

Led Zeppelin IV album
"Yeah, we were both huge Motown and Stax fans and general
soul music fans, James Brown fan. Which is one of the reasons why I've always said that Zeppelin was one of
the few bands to "swing". We actually had a groove in those days. People used to come to our shows and
dance, which was great. To see all the women dancing, it was really brilliant. You didn't necessarily see that
at a Black Sabbath show or whatever: So we were different in that way. We were a groovy band. We used all
our black pop music influences as a key to the rock that went over the top".[27]
After "retiring" his Fender Jazz Bass in 1975, which he had been using since his days with The Shadows in the early
1960s, Jones switched to using custom-designed Alembics (as seen here [29]) while out on the road. However, he still
preferred to use the Jazz in the studio. Jones' keyboard skills added an eclectic dimension that realised Led Zeppelin
as more than just a hard rock band. Keyboard highlights include the delicate "The Rain Song" (Houses of the Holy)
played on a Mellotron; the funky, danceable "Trampled Under Foot", played on a Clavinet (Physical Graffiti); and
the eastern scales of "Kashmir", also played on a Mellotron (also on Physical Graffiti). In live performances, Jones'
keyboard showpiece was "No Quarter", often lasting for up to half-an-hour and sometimes including snatches of
"Amazing Grace", Joaqun Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", which had inspired Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain,
and variations of classical pieces by composers such as Rachmaninoff.
John Paul Jones

Jones' diverse contributions to the group extended to the use of other instruments, including an unusual triple-necked
acoustic instrument consisting of a six and a twelve string guitar, and a mandolin. Jones often used bass pedals to
supplement the band's sound while he was playing keyboards and mandolin. On the band's 1977 tour of the United
States, Jones would sing lead vocals on The Battle of Evermore, filling in for Sandy Denny who sang on the studio
version.
Profile
While all members of Led Zeppelin had a reputation for off-stage excess (a label some have claimed was somewhat
exaggerated),[28] Jones was widely seen as the most quiet and reserved member of the group.[29] [30] His
professionalism ensured that any excesses experienced on the road never hindered his performance. For his part,
Jones has claimed that he had just as much fun on the road as his bandmates but was more discreet about it,[15]
stating "I did more drugs than I care to remember. I just did it quietly."[21] Benoit Gautier, an employee of Atlantic
Records in France, echoed this impression, stating that "The wisest guy in Led Zeppelin was John Paul Jones. Why?
He never got caught in an embarrassing situation."[15]
In an interview, Jones explained that fame with Led Zeppelin was not something that he ever became preoccupied
with:
"Not really; I'd done it all before ... I would like to think that I wasn't too stupid either. I tried to stay out of the
drift of the rock star's path, mainly because I needed my sanity and freedom on the road. So generally, I used
to check out of the hotel, and then get out on the street. I'd go walking ... I'm not as recognizable as Plant and
Page. Plus, I used to change my appearance all the time just to make sure I wasn't as recognizable ...
[G]enerally, I'm pretty quickly into the shadows ... I once read the Beatles did a whole tour of America and
never left their hotel rooms. And I thought, "I can't see the point of travelling around the world and not seeing
anything."[21]
However, following several exhausting tours and extended periods of time away from his family, by late 1973 Jones
was beginning to show signs of disillusionment with life as a member of one of the biggest bands in the world. He
considered quitting Led Zeppelin to spend more time with his family, but was talked into returning by the band's
manager, Peter Grant.[31] Jones later explained his reservations:
"I didn't want to harm the group, but I didn't want my family to fall apart either. We toured a huge amount in
those early days. We were all very tired and under pressure and it just came to a head. When I first joined the
band, I didn't think it would go on for that long, two or three years perhaps, and then I'd carry on with my
career as a musician and doing movie music."[13]
"Royal Orleans"
It is rumoured that the Led Zeppelin song "Royal Orleans", from their album Presence is about an experience Jones
once had on tour in the United States.[15] [32] The song is about a person who mistakenly takes a drag queen up to his
hotel room, who then falls asleep with a joint of marijuana in hand, lighting the room on fire. "Royal Orleans" was
the name of a hotel where the members of Led Zeppelin would stay when they visited New Orleans, because not as
many people asked for autographs there. In an interview he gave to Mojo magazine in 2007, Jones clarified the
reliability of this rumour, stating:
The transvestites were actually friends of Richard Cole's; normal friendly people and we were all at some bar.
That I mistook a transvestite for a girl is rubbish; that happened in another country to somebody else...
Anyway 'Stephanie' ended up in my room and we rolled a joint or two and I fell asleep and set fire to the hotel
room, as you do, ha ha, and when I woke up it was full of firemen![13]

Other work during time with the band

Jones' involvement with Led Zeppelin did not put a halt to his session work. In 1969 he returned to the studio to play
bass guitar on The Family Dogg's A Way of Life album, in 1970 and keyboards for guitarist Peter Green on his solo
album The End of the Game. Jones was Madeline Bell's first choice to produce and arrange her 1974 album Comin'
Atcha. He has also played keyboards on many Roy Harper albums, and contributed to Wings' Rockestra, Back to the
Egg along with Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham.
After Led Zeppelin

1980 to 2000
Since Led Zeppelin dissolved in 1980 with the death of
Bonham, Jones has collaborated with a number of artists,
including R.E.M., Jars of Clay, Heart, Ben E. King, Peter

Mission, La Fura dels Baus, Brian Eno, the Butthole Surfers
and Uncle Earl.[33] [34]
He appeared on several sessions and videos for Paul
McCartney and was involved in the soundtrack of the film
Give My Regards to Broad Street. In 1985, Jones was asked
by director Michael Winner to provide the soundtrack for the
film, Scream for Help, with Jimmy Page appearing on two
tracks. Jones provides vocals for two of the songs. He
recorded and toured with singer Diamanda Gals on her 1994
album, The Sporting Life (co-credited to John Paul Jones).
Jones set up his own recording studio called Sunday School,
as well being involved in his daughter's (Jacinda Jones) singing career.

In 1985 Jones joined the other former members of Led Zeppelin for the Live Aid concert with both Phil Collins and
Tony Thompson filling in on drums. The former members again re-formed for the Atlantic Records 40th
Anniversary concert on 14 May 1988. Page, Plant and Jones, as well as John Bonhams son Jason, closed the event.
The band has also played together at various private family functions. In 1992 he arranged the Orchestria on R.E.M.
Automatic for the People Album

In 2004, he toured as part of the group Mutual Admiration Society, along with Glen Phillips (the front man for the
band Toad the Wet Sprocket) and the members of the band Nickel Creek.[35]
Jones plays on two tracks on Foo Fighters' album In Your Honor. He plays mandolin on "Another Round" and piano
on "Miracle", both of which are on the acoustic disc. The band's frontman Dave Grohl (a big Led Zeppelin fan) has
described Jones' guest appearance as the "second greatest thing to happen to me in my life".

John Henry Bonham (31 May 1948 25 September 1980) was a British musician and songwriter, best known as
the drummer of Led Zeppelin. Bonham was esteemed for his speed, power, fast right foot, distinctive sound, and
"feel" for the groove.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock music by
many drummers, other musicians, and commentators in the industry.[2] [3] [4] [5] Over 30 years after his death,
Bonham continues to garner awards and praise, including a Rolling Stone readers' pick in 2011 placing him in first
place of the magazine's "best drummers of all time".[6]
John Bonham
Biography
Early years
Bonham was born on 31 May 1948, in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, to Joan and Jack Bonham. He began
learning to play drums at the age of five, making a drum kit out of containers and coffee tins, imitating his idols
Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. His mother gave him a snare drum at the age of ten. He received his first proper drum
kit from his father at fifteen, a Trixon kit. Bonham never took any formal drum lessons, though as a teen he would
get advice from other Redditch drummers. Between 196263, while still at school, Bonham joined the Blue Star
Trio,[7] and Gerry Levene & the Avengers.[8]
Bonham attended Lodge Farm Secondary Modern School, where his headmaster once wrote in his school report card
that "He will either end up a dustman or a millionaire".[9] [10] After leaving school in 1964, he worked for his father
as an apprentice carpenter[11] in between drumming for different local bands. In 1964, Bonham joined his first
semi-professional band, Terry Webb and the Spiders, and met his future wife Pat Phillips around the same time. He
also played in other Birmingham bands such as The Nicky James Movement and The Senators, who released a
moderately successful single "She's a Mod," in 1964. Bonham then took up drumming full-time. Two years later, he
joined A Way of Life, but the band soon became inactive. Desperate for a regular income, he joined a blues group
called Crawling King Snakes, whose lead singer was a young Robert Plant.
In 1967, A Way of Life asked Bonham to return to the group, and he agreed though throughout this period, Plant
kept in contact with Bonham. When Plant decided to form Band of Joy, Bonham was first choice as drummer. The
band recorded a number of demos but no album. In 1968 American singer Tim Rose toured Britain and invited Band
of Joy to open his concerts. When Rose returned for another tour months later, Bonham was formally invited by the
singer to drum for his band, which gave him a regular income.
Led Zeppelin
After the break-up of The Yardbirds, guitarist Jimmy Page was forming a new band when he recruited Robert Plant,
who in turn suggested Bonham. Page's choices for drummer included Procol Harum's B.J. Wilson, and session
drummers Clem Cattini and Aynsley Dunbar. Ginger Baker was also rumoured to be on Page's list. However, upon
seeing Bonham drum for Tim Rose at a club in Hampstead, north London, in July 1968, Page and manager Peter
Grant were instantly convinced that he was the perfect fit for the new project, first known as the New Yardbirds and
later as Led Zeppelin.[12]
Despite an intensive campaign to snare the drummer, Bonham was initially reluctant to join the band.[13] Plant sent
eight telegrams to Bonham's pub, the "Three Men in a Boat", in Walsall, which were followed by 40 telegrams from
Grant. However, at the same time he was also receiving lucrative offers from established artists Joe Cocker and
Chris Farlowe. Eventually, Bonham accepted Grant's offer. He later recalled, "I decided I liked their music better
than Cocker's or Farlowe's."[14]

John Bonham
During Led Zeppelin's first tour of the United States in December

1968, Bonham became friends with Vanilla Fudge's drummer Carmine
Appice. Appice introduced him to Ludwig Drums, which he then used
for the rest of his career. Bonham used the longest and heaviest sticks
available, which he referred to as "trees." His hard hitting style was
displayed to great effect on many Led Zeppelin songs, including
"Immigrant Song" (Led Zeppelin III), "When the Levee Breaks" (Led
Zeppelin IV /
), "Kashmir" (Physical Graffiti), "The Ocean"
(Houses of the Holy), and "Achilles Last Stand" (Presence). The studio
recording of "Misty Mountain Hop" perfectly captures his keen sense
John Bonham's three intersecting circles sigil for
of dynamics, and this is similarly exhibited by his precise drumming
the Led Zeppelin IV album
on "No Quarter". On several cuts from later albums, Bonham rather
adeptly handled funk and Latin-influenced drumming. Songs like
"Royal Orleans" and "Fool in the Rain" are good examples, respectively displaying great skill with a New Orleans
shuffle and a samba rhythm.
His famous drum solo, first entitled "Pat's Delight," later renamed "Moby Dick", would often last for 30 minutes and
regularly featured his use of bare hands to achieve different sound effects. Bonham's action sequence for the film,
The Song Remains the Same, featured him in a drag race at Santa Pod Raceway to the sound of his signature drum
solo, "Moby Dick". In Led Zeppelin concert tours after 1969, Bonham would expand his basic kit to include congas,
orchestral timpani, and a symphonic gong. Bonham is also credited (by the Dallas Times Herald) with the first
in-concert use of electronic timpani drum synthesizers (most likely made by Syndrum) during a performance of the
song "Kashmir" in Dallas, Texas in 1977. Many modern rappers would later heavily sample his drumming and
incorporate it into their compositions, such as Beastie Boys, who sampled "Moby Dick," "The Ocean," and "When
the Levee Breaks."[15]
During his time with Led Zeppelin, Bonham was also an avid collector of antique sports cars and motorcycles, which
he kept on his family's farm called The Old Hyde. He bought The Plough pub in the nearby village of Shenstone,
which shows signs of conversion work to allow him to drive his bikes or cars right behind the bar. This was not the
pub featured in the film The Song Remains the Same. It was the New Inn, which is currently boarded up, the only
clue to its famous past being a picture hanging close to the bar.
Work outside Led Zeppelin

As well as recording with Led Zeppelin, Bonham also found time to play on sessions for other artists. In 1969
Bonham appeared on The Family Dogg's A Way of Life, with Page and Jones. Bonham also sessioned for Screaming
Lord Sutch on his album Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends in 1970. He played drums on Lulu's 1971 song "Everybody
Clap," originally written by Maurice Gibb and Billy Lawrie. In 1972 he played drums on a Maurice Gibb produced
album by Jimmy Stevens called Don't Freak Me Out in the UK and Paid My Dues in the US, credited as Gemini
(given his star sign). Later in his career, Bonham drummed for his Birmingham friend, Roy Wood, on his 1979
album, On the Road Again, and on Wings' album Back to the Egg on the tracks "Rockestra Theme" and "So Glad to
See You Here". Bonham was the best man of Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi at his wedding ceremony.[16]
In 1974, Bonham appeared in the film Son of Dracula, playing drums in Count Downe's (Harry Nilsson) backing
band. This was an Apple film directed by Freddie Francis. Bonham appeared in an overcrowded drum line-up
including Keith Moon and Ringo Starr on the soundtrack album.

Death
On 24 September 1980, Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin assistant Rex King to attend rehearsals at Bray
Studios for an upcoming tour of the U.S.; the band's first since 1977. During the journey, Bonham had asked to stop
for breakfast, where he drank four quadruple vodkas (sixteen shots, between 400560 ml). He then continued to
drink heavily when he arrived at the rehearsals. A halt was called to the rehearsals late in the evening and the band
retired to Page's house, the Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight on the 25th, Bonham had fallen
asleep and was taken to bed and placed on his side. Benji LeFevre (who had replaced Richard Cole as Led Zeppelin's
tour manager) and John Paul Jones found him dead the next afternoon.[17] Bonham was 32 years old.
Weeks later at the coroner's inquest, it emerged that in the 24 hours before he died, John Bonham had consumed
forty shots of vodka which resulted in him vomiting and subsequent aspiration (inhaling) of his vomit, causing
asphyxiation. A verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest held on 27 October.[17] An autopsy had found
no other drugs in Bonham's body.[18] John Bonham was cremated and, on 12 October 1980, interred at Rushock
Parish Church, Worcestershire. His headstone reads:
CHERISHED MEMORIES OF A LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER JOHN HENRY BONHAM WHO DIED SEPT. 25th 1980 AGED 32
YEARS He will always be Remembered in our hearts. Goodnight my Love, God Bless.
Despite media rumors that drummers including Cozy Powell, Phil

Collins, Carmine Appice, Barriemore Barlow, Roger Taylor, Simon
Kirke or Bev Bevan, among others, would join the group as his
replacement, the remaining members decided to disband Led Zeppelin
after Bonham's death. They issued a press statement on 4 December
1980, confirming that the band would not continue without its
drummer. "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and
the deep respect we have for his family, together with the sense of
undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to
decide that we could not continue as we were." It was simply signed
"Led Zeppelin".[19]

Family
John Bonham had two siblings; his younger brother, Mick Bonham (19512000), was a disc jockey, author and
photographer and his younger sister, Deborah Bonham (born in 1962), who is a singer-songwriter.
Bonham was married to Pat Phillips, and the couple had two children; his daughter Zo Bonham (born July 1975),
who is a singer-songwriter and also appears regularly at Led Zeppelin conventions and awards, and his son Jason
Bonham (born 1966), a rock drummer who has gained success with various bands including UFO, Foreigner, and
Bonham. He currently plays in a band called Black Country Communion which includes Glenn Hughes, Derek
Sherinian, and Joe Bonamassa. They recorded an album called Black Country in 2010. On 10 December 2007, he
played with Led Zeppelin on the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert, as well as their previous reunion at the Atlantic
Records 40th Anniversary show on 15 May 1988. A 1970 film clip of a four-year-old Jason playing drums appears
in the Led Zeppelin film The Song Remains the Same. Zo and Jason appeared at the induction ceremony for the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 along with the surviving members of Led Zeppelin.
John's mother, Joan Bonham, died aged 81 on 10 February 2011.[20] She was one of the lead vocalists for The
Zimmers,[21] a 40-member band set up as a result of a BBC documentary on the treatment of the elderly.[22]
Bonham's cousin Billy Bonham (born 1950), also played keyboards for Terry Reid and Ace Kefford.[23]

Awards and accolades

While Bonham is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential rock drummers by other musicians
and commentators in the industry, he continues to enjoy his greatest acclaim from fans, and several opinion polls and
critic lists continue to list him in first place before any other drummer in rock history. In 2007, Stylus magazine rated
Bonham number 1 on its list of the 50 greatest rock drummers,[2] as did the online music magazine Gigwise.com in
2008,[4] and a Rolling Stone reader's poll where he "led the list by a significant margin" in 2011.[24] Bonham was
ranked at no. 1 on Classic Rock's 2005 list of "50 Greatest Drummers in Rock",[25] and Modern Drummer magazine
describes him as "the greatest rock 'n' roll drummer in history."[3] In September 2008, Bonham topped the
Blabbermouth.net's list of "Rockers fans want brought back to life", ahead of Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury.[26]
Rhythm magazine voted him the greatest drummer ever, topping their reader's poll to determine the "50 greatest
drummers of all time" for its October 2009 issue.[27] At the end of the BBC Two series I'm in a Rock 'n' Roll Band!
on 5 June 2010, John Bonham was named the best drummer of all time.[28]
John Bonham has been described by Allmusic as one of the most important, well-known and influential drummers in
rock.[1] Adam Budofsky, managing editor of Modern Drummer magazine, writes "If the king of rock 'n' roll was
Elvis Presley, then the king of rock drumming was certainly John Bonham."[29]
Influence on notable musicians and tributes

Many rock drummers were influenced by John Bonham's work with Led Zeppelin. A few of them include Tony
Thompson,[30] Dave Grohl,[31] Tommy Lee,[32] Peter Criss,[33] Stewart Copeland,[34] and Chad Smith.[35]
Several of these drummers have testified to Bonham's influence, such as Roger Taylor of Queen, who stated:
The greatest rock 'n' roll drummer of all time was John Bonham who did things that nobody had ever
even thought possible before with the drum kit. And also the greatest sound out of his drumsthey
sounded enormous, and just one bass drum. So fast on it that he did more with one bass drum than most
people could do with three, if they could manage them. And he had technique to burn and fantastic
power and tremendous feel for rock`n`roll.[36]
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Them Crooked Vultures has said:
John Bonham played the drums like someone who didn't know what was going to happen nextlike he
was teetering on the edge of a cliff. No one has come close to that since, and I don't think anybody ever
will. I think he will forever be the greatest drummer of all time.[37]
Similarly, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers has remarked:
To me, hands down, John Bonham was the best rock drummer ever. The style and the sound was so
identifiable to one person. Any drum set that he would play, it sounded like him.[38]
Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones told Guitar Player's Jas Obrecht:
John Bonham is the best at being John Bonham and doing what he does. Or didunfortunately, he's
dead. He was the best. There wasn't anyone better than John Bonham at doing that, and thank goodness
we've got some records so that you can hear it.[39]
Musicians other than drummers have also paid tribute to Bonham. John Paul Jones, who formed a very tight musical
partnership with him as Led Zeppelin's power rhythm section, stated that Bonham was a "bass player's dream".[40]
Jimmy Page has also commented:
One of the marvelous things about John Bonham which made things very easy [for a producer] was the
fact that he really knew how to tune his drums, and I tell you what, that was pretty rare in drummers in
those days. He really knew how to make the instrument sing, and because of that, he could just get so
much volume out of it by just playing with his wrists. It was just an astonishing technique that was sort
of pretty holistic if you know what I mean.[41]

A major tribute for John Bonham entitled "Bonzo: The Groove Remains the SameA Night In Honor of John
Henry Bonham" was performed on September 25, 2010the anniversary of his death. Notable drummers that
appeared at the tribute included Steven Adler, Vinny Appice, Kenny Aronoff, Frankie Banali, Jason Bonham, Fred
Coury, Jimmy D'Anda, James Kottak, Chris Slade, Chad Smith, Brian Tichy, Joe Travers and Simon Wright, while
Carmine Appice performed via video.[42]
Equipment
Drums
Bonham initially used Premier drums, but in the late
1960s was introduced to Ludwig drums by Carmine
Appice of Vanilla Fudge.[43] Throughout the
remainder of his career, Bonham was a major
endorser of Ludwig Drums. In concert, he used a
wide range of different drum kits, but mostly of the
same sizes. From 1970 onwards, he used a 1426
bass drum, which was the most identifiable part of
his setup. He used 1616, 1618 and (on certain
live performances) a 1820 floor tom, while
occasionally changing his tom sizes, which included
sizes 1214, 1014, and 1215.

Cymbals
Bonham used Paiste Cymbals exclusively. His cymbal setup included Paiste Giant Beat cymbals until 1970. The
Paiste Endorsement Agreement shows he experimented with cymbals including the 602 series before changing to a
complete set of what is now the 2002 series in '71, which he used for the rest of his career. His setup:
15" 2002 Sound Edge Hi-Hat

24" 2002 Ride
20" 2002 Medium Crash
18" 2002 Crash (Switched to 18" 2002 Medium Crash in 1973)
16" 2002 Medium Crash
36-38" Symphonic Gong
Drum heads
Bonham played Remo drum heads throughout his career. For his wood drums, he always used Remo Coated
Emperors (or Ludwig equivalent) on his batter sides, while using coated ambassadors on the resonant side of his
toms, and a Diplomat or clear Ambassador on the resonant side of his snare drum. The bass drums front head was
always a medium weight head, for instance a Remo Coated Ambassador. The batter head was always tuned
medium-tight, (almost jazz-like) and the resonant head was always tuned way up, for a full, round sound. He never
put anything inside his bass drum (although his band members have said that he would sometimes fill it with
crumpled tin foil, so that it would project). He only used a felt strip on the batter side occasionally. The bass drum
heads were also tuned a lot higher than one would think. Some have claimed he used to make "Ritchie Rings" cut out
of old drum heads for his front bass drum head, but this anomaly is simply the surrounding light producing a shadow
from the hoop on the white drum head producing the ring effect (you can produce the same effect with a front bass
drum head, as long as the head is coated).
On the Vistalites he used Remo CS black dots on the batter side of the toms and the bass drum and clear
Ambassadors on the resonate side. The snare always had a coated Emperor on the batter side and an Ambassador or
64
John Bonham
a Diplomat on the snare side. He sometimes used a Gretsch 42-strand snare wires to fatten the snare sound.
Bass drum pedal

Bonham used Ludwig Speed King Pedal (with tight spring tension) throughout his career. His trademark bass drum
"triplets," played interchangeably with doubles and singles which are most notable in "Good Times Bad
Times", were played on a single bass pedal, and not a double bass pedal. Unlike some contemporary drummers,
Bonham did not use a double-bass drum kit. He did once own one (it was featured in the demo "Communication
Breakdown"), but it was removed from his kit by the rest of the band. John Bonham did play double bass drums
while the band was touring with the band Vanilla Fudge.
It is possible to hear the squeak of the pedal in several recordings, including "Since I've Been Loving You", "The
Ocean", "The Rain Song", "Houses of the Holy", "Ten Years Gone", "Bonzo's Montreux" and the live version of "I
Can't Quit You Baby" on Coda and "All My Love" on In Through The Out Door. Jimmy Page later commented:
The only real problem I can remember encountering was when we were putting the first boxed set together.
There was an awfully squeaky bass drum pedal on "Since I've Been Loving You". It sounds louder and louder
every time I hear it! [laughs]. That was something that was obviously sadly overlooked at the time.[46]
Tribute kits
In 2005, Ludwig began issuing Bonham reissue kits in green sparkle maple and amber Vistalite. Ludwig currently
offers "Zep Kits" in their Vistalite and Classic lines, with a 26" bass drum, a 14" tom mounted on a snare stand, and
16" and 18" floor toms. In 2007 they issued a limited edition stainless steel kit similar to the ones Bonham used on
the last Led Zeppelin tours in the 1970s. The stainless steel shells were manufactured by Ronn Dunnett of Dunnett
Classic Drums.

Jason Bonham (born 15 July 1966) is an English drummer. Jason's parents are Led Zeppelin drummer John
Bonham and his wife Pat Phillips.
Biography
Bonham was born in the town of Dudley, West Midlands. He first began playing drums at the age of four, and
appeared with his father in the film The Song Remains the Same, drumming on a scaled-down kit.[1] At 17, he joined
his first band, Airrace. In 1985, he joined Virginia Wolf, making two albums and touring the U.S. supporting The
Firm.
In 1988, Bonham joined former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for his Outrider album and tour. In May of the
same year, Bonham appeared with the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin for a performance at Atlantic
Records 40th Anniversary concert in New York.
In 1989, Bonham appeared as a special guest at the Moscow Music Peace Festival, performing the song "Rock and
Roll" with many major rock stars of the day. That same year, he formed his own band, Bonham, whose
Zeppelin-inflected first release The Disregard of Timekeeping had a hit single, "Wait for You". However, after a
lukewarm reception for their 1992 release, Mad Hatter, the band was dissolved, and Bonham concentrated on
session work and guest appearances.

On April 28, 1990, Bonham married Jan Charteris, in Stone, Kidderminster. His wedding reception included a jam
with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. The Bonhams have two children, a son named Jager, and a
daughter, Jaz.
Bonham drummed for Paul Rodgers on the Grammy nominated Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters
project. A year later with Slash and Paul Rodgers, he appeared at Woodstock II in 1994. Bonham reformed his band
with a new lead vocalist, Marti Frederiksen, replacing Daniel MacMaster. Renamed Motherland, they released the
album Peace 4 Me later in 1994. However, his down-to-earth nature always showedon one occasion making an
encore drumming appearance for local Led Zeppelin tribute band Fred Zeppelin.
In 1995, Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with his
sister Zoe by his side. Bonham soon put together another solo project which culminated in In the Name of My Father
- The Zepset, which featured the songs of Led Zeppelin. Proceeds from the album went to charity. The album
followed up with When You See the Sun.
Following an album and tour with his aunt Debbie Bonham, Jason Bonham was invited to drum for hard rock group
UFO. In 2006, he recorded with Joe Bonamassa.
Jason Bonham is also an actor, having appeared in the movie Rock Star, 2001. Bonham played drummer A.C., of the
fictional band Steel Dragon. The film also featured performances by musicians such as Zakk Wylde, Jeff Pilson,
Myles Kennedy, Brian Vander Ark, Blas Elias and Nick Catanese. He also played on the film's soundtrack.
Bonham starred with Ted Nugent, Evan Seinfeld (Biohazard), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), and Scott Ian (Anthrax)
on the VH1 reality television show, Supergroup, in May 2006. The musicians formed a band called Damnocracy
(after ditching the names FIST, God War, and Savage Animal) for the show, during which they lived in a mansion in
Las Vegas for twelve days and created music. Jason also played drums live with Foreigner from 2004 to 2007 and
part of 2007 to 2008.
Bonham joined the group Black Country Communion late in 2009 and is currrently recording music with rock icons
Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes, and Derek Sherinian.

Led Zeppelin reunion

On 12 September 2007, it was announced that Jason Bonham would step into his father's shoes and play drums for a
Led Zeppelin reunion concert. This took place on 10 December 2007 at London's O2 arena as part of an all-star
tribute to Ahmet Ertegn.[2] [3] [4] His performance was described as "flawless" by music critics.[5]

The discography of the English rock band Led Zeppelin consists of nine studio albums, three live albums, nine
compilation albums, sixteen singles, eight music downloads, three charted songs and two video albums. Formed in
London in 1968, the group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bass player John Paul Jones, and
drummer John Bonham. The band pioneered the concept of album-oriented rock and often refused to release popular
songs as singles.[1] Their debut album, Led Zeppelin (1969), released by Atlantic Records, charted at number six on
the UK Albums Chart and at number ten on the United States Billboard 200. It received several sales certifications,
including an 8 times multi-platinum from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Diamond
from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). Led Zeppelin's second studio album, Led Zeppelin II,
recorded when the band were on tour, was released a few months after the first. It reached number one in several
countries, including the UK and the US, where it was certified 12 times multi-platinum. The album produced Led
Zeppelin's most successful single, "Whole Lotta Love", which peaked at several music charts in the top 10. Led
Zeppelin III (1970) was a softer, more folk-based effort compared to the hard rock of the band's previous releases.[2]
It also peaked at number one in the UK and in the US.
Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, often called Led Zeppelin IV and released on 8 November 1971, is their most
commercially successful album. It received a 23 times multi-platinum certification from RIAA, the third-highest of
all albums.[3] The band's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, was released in 1973. Again a transatlantic chart-topper, it
has received an 11 times multi-platinum certification from RIAA. In 1974, the band set up their own vanity label,
72
Swan Song Records, which would release the rest of Led Zeppelin's studio albums. The first was the 1975 double
album Physical Graffiti, which has received a 16 times platinum certification from RIAA. However, Zeppelin's
seventh album, Presence (1976), did not perform as well as their previous releases, receiving a triple Platinum
certification from RIAA. On 20 October 1976 Led Zeppelin released their first concert film The Song Remains the
Same. The recording of the film took place during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York
City, during the band's 1973 concert tour of the United States.[4] The band's eighth album, In Through the Out Door,
received a sextuple platinum certification. This was the last album released by the band before Bonham died of
alcohol intoxication in 1980; Led Zeppelin disbanded immediately afterwards.[5]
In 1982 Led Zeppelin released the album Coda, a compilation of outtakes from the band's previous recordings, but
still considered to be a studio album.[A] Since their break-up, the band have released numerous compilation and live
albums from older concerts, including How the West Was Won, which peaked at number one on the Billboard charts,
and the compilation album Mothership, which produced seven music downloads and was released on the same day
Led Zeppelin's entire catalog became available in digital stores, including in the iTunes Store.[6] "Stairway to
Heaven", which has never been released as an official single before, was one of these songs released in digital
stores.[7] The band has sold over 300million albums worldwide,[8] including 111.5million certified units in the
United States.[9]

musicrock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London and released on
Atlantic Records on 12 January 1969 in the US and 31 March 1969 in the UK. The album featured integral
contributions from each of the group's four musicians and established Led Zeppelin's fusion of blues and rock. Led
Zeppelin also created a large and devoted following for the band, with their take on the emerging Heavy metal
musicheavy metal sound endearing them to a section of the counterculture on both sides of the Atlantic
OceanAtlantic.Although the album initially received negative reviews, it was commercially very successful and has
now come to be regarded in a much more positive light by critics. In 2003, the album was ranked number 29 on
Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Timethe 500 greatest albums of all
time.Background In August 1968, the English rock band The Yardbirds had completely disbanded. Guitarist Jimmy
Page, The Yardbirds' sole remaining member, was left with rights to the groups name and contractual obligations for
a series of concerts in Scandinavia. "Led Zeppelin Biography". Rolling Stone. . Retrieved 2008-01-01. For his new
band, Page recruited bassist John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones, vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John
Bonham. During September 1968, the group Led Zeppelin Scandinavian Tour 1968toured Scandinavia as The New
Yardbirds, performing some old Yardbirds material as well as new songs such as "Communication Breakdown", "I
Can't Quit You Baby", "You Shook Me", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and "How Many More Times". "Concert on
7September1968 at Teen-Clubs, Denmark". Led Zeppelin official website. . Retrieved 2008-01-01. The month after
they returned to England, October 1968, Page changed the band's name to Led Zeppelin, and the group entered
Olympic Studios in London to record their debut album.Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "Led Zeppelin Biography".
Allmusic. . Retrieved 2008-01-01.Recording and productionRecording sessions In a 1990 interview, Page said that
the album took only about 36 hours of studio time (over a span of a few weeks) to create (including mixing), adding
that he knew this because of the amount charged on the studio bill.ProfiledLed Zeppelin Profiled radio promo CD,
1990Welch, Chris (1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books. ISBN 0-85797-930-3, pp. 28, 37. One of the primary
reasons for the short recording time was that the material selected for the album had been well-rehearsed and
pre-arranged by the band on Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin Scandinavian Tour 1968tour of Scandinavia in September
1968.Dave Schulps, Interview with Jimmy Page, Trouser Press, October 1977. As Page explained, "[the band] had
begun developing the arrangements on the Scandinavian tour and I knew what sound I was looking for. It just came
together incredibly quickly."Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) Led Zeppelin: The Concert File, London:
Led Zeppelin
Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p. 13.In addition, since the band had not yet signed their deal with Atlantic
Records, Page and Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant paid for the sessions entirely
themselves, meaning there was no record company money to waste on excessive studio time.Dave Lewis (1994),
The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus Press, Omnibus Press, ISBN 0-7119-3528-9 In another
interview, Page revealed that the self-funding was to ensure artistic freedom, "I wanted artistic control in a vice grip,
because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with these fellows. In fact, I financed and completely recorded the first
album before going to Atlantic... It wasn't your typical story where you get an advance to make an albumwe
arrived at Atlantic with tapes in hand... Atlantic's reaction was very positive I mean they signed us, didn't they?"
Interview with Jimmy Page, Guitar World magazine, 1993The group recorded their songs reportedly for
1,782.Mick Wall (2008), When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography Of Led Zeppelin, London: Orion, p. 52. Led
Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis noted that "[w]ith the possible exception of the 12 hours that the Beatles took to record
their Please Please Mefirst album at Abbey Road StudiosAbbey Road, rarely has studio time been used so
economically. Led Zeppelin's debut album went on to gross more than 3.5million, just short of 2,000 times more
than they invested!"For the recordings, Page played a psychedelically painted Fender Telecaster guitar, a gift from
Jeff Beck after Page recommended his boyhood friend to the Yardbirds in 1965 as potential replacement for Eric
Clapton on lead guitar.Steven Rosen, 1977 Jimmy Page Interview, Modern Guitars, 25 May 2007 (originally
published in the July 1977, issue of Guitar Player magazine). This was a different guitar from those he favoured for
later albums (most notably a Gibson Les Paul). Page played the Telecaster through a Supro amplifier. He also used a
Gibson J-200, borrowed from Big Jim Sullivan, for the album's acoustic tracks. For "Your Time Is Gonna Come" he
used an out-of-tune Fender 10-string steel guitar.ProductionLed Zeppelin was produced by Jimmy Page and
engineered by Glyn Johns, who had previously worked with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.
According to Page, "The first album is a live album, it really is, and it's done intentionally in that way. It's got
overdubs on it, but the original tracks are live."I first met Jimmy on Tolworth Broadway, holding a bag of exotic
fish..., Uncut magazineUncut, January 2009, p. 42.Page reportedly used natural room ambience to enhance the
reverb and recording texture on the record, demonstrating the innovations in sound recording he had learned during
his session days. Up until the late 1960s, most music producers placed microphones directly in front of the amplifiers
and drums. For Led Zeppelin Page developed the idea of placing an additional microphone some distance from the
amplifier (as far as twenty feet) and then recording the balance between the two. By adopting this "distance equals
depth" technique, Page became one of the first producers to record a band's "ambient sound": the distance of a note's
time-lag from one end of the room to the other.Tolinski, Brad; Di Bendetto, Greg (January 1998). "Light and Shade".
Guitar World.Gilmore, Mikal (10 August 2001). " The Long Shadow of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone. Retrieved on
26 June 2008.Another notable feature of the album was the "leakage" on the recordings of Plant's vocals. In a 1998
Guitar World interview, Page stated that "Robert's voice was extremely powerful and, as a result, would get on some
of the other tracks. But oddly, the leakage sounds intentional." On the track "You Shook Me", Page used the
"backward echo" technique. It involves hearing the echo before the main sound (instead of after it), and is achieved
by turning the tape over and recording the echo on a spare track, then turning the tape back over again to get the echo
preceding the signal.The album was one of the first albums to be released in stereo-only form; at the time the
practice of releasing both mono and stereo versions was the norm.ArtworkThe Led Zeppelin album cover depicts the
LZ 129 HindenburgHindenburg airship Hindenburg disasterseconds after catching fireLed Zeppelin's front cover,
which was chosen by Page, features a black-and-white image of the burning LZ 129 HindenburgHindenburg airship.
The image refers to the origin of the band's name itself: when Page, Jeff Beck and The Who's Keith Moon and John
Entwistle were discussing the idea of forming a group, Moon joked, "It would probably go over like a lead balloon",
and Entwistle allegedly replied, "...a lead zeppelin!"The album's back cover features a photograph of the band taken
by former-Yardbird Chris Dreja. The entire design of the album's sleeve was coordinated by George Hardie
(artist)George Hardie, with whom the band would continue to collaborate for future sleeves.Hardie recalled that he
originally offered the band a design based on an old club sign in San Franciscoa multi-sequential image of a
phallic zeppelin airship up in the clouds. Page declined but it was retained as the logo for the back cover of Led

Led Zeppelin
Zeppelin's first two albums and a number of early press advertisements. During the first few weeks of release in the
UK, the sleeve featured the band's name and the Atlantic logo in Turquoise (color)turquoise. When this was switched
to the now-common orange print later in the year, the turquoise-printed sleeve became a collector's item.The album
cover received widespread attention when, at a February 1970 gig in Copenhagen, the band were billed as "The
Nobs" as the result of a legal threat from aristocrat Eva von Zeppelin (a relative of the creator of the Zeppelin
aircraft). von Zeppelin, upon seeing the logo of the Hindenburg crashing in flames, threatened to have the show
pulled off the air. Keith Shadwick Led Zeppelin 1968-1980: The Story Of A Band And Their Music (excerpt posted
on Billboard.com) In 2001, Greg Kot wrote in Rolling Stone that "The cover of Led Zeppelin... shows the
Hindenburg airship, in all its phallic glory, going down in flames. The image did a pretty good job of encapsulating
the music inside: sex, catastrophe and things blowing up."Kot, Greg (13 September 2001). "Led Zeppelin review".
Rolling Stone. . Retrieved 2008-01-04.Composition Tracks such as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused
(song)Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown" displayed a distinctively heavy sound that was
uncommon in the late-1960s. Led Zeppelin also featured steel-string acoustic guitar by Page on "Black Mountain
Side", and a combination of acoustic and electric approaches on their adaptation of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave
You"."Dazed and Confused (song)Dazed and Confused", based on the 1967 Jake Holmes song of the same name, is
often considered to be the album's centerpiece; its arrangement features a descending bass line from Jones, heavy
drumming from Bonham and distorted guitar riffs and soloing from Page. It also showcased Page playing guitar with
a violin bow (an idea suggested by David McCallum Sr., whom Page had met while doing studio session
work).Welch, Chris (ed.) Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused, the Stories Behind Every Song. (Page 23) Thunder's
Mouth Press, 1998 ISBN 1-56025-188-3 This technique was also employed on "How Many More Times", a song
which features a "Bolero" riff and an improvised shift in cadence (music)cadence. "Dazed and Confused" would
become Zeppelin's signature performance piece for years to come. Many of Led Zeppelin's earliest songs were based
on blues standards, and the album also included three songs composed by others: "You Shook Me" and "I Can't Quit
You Baby", both by blues artist Willie Dixon, and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Regarding the last of these, at the
time Page mistakenly believed he was adapting a traditional folk song he had heard on a Joan Baez record, but this
was corrected on subsequent rereleases after it was revealed that the song was composed by Anne Bredon in the
1950s. Dixon, on the other hand, received proper credit as the composer of his two songs on this album (although
"You Shook Me" would later be additionally credited to J. B. Lenoir) but would go on to settle out of court with Led
Zeppelin over partial use of other material of his on Plant's lyrics to "Whole Lotta Love". On "You Shook Me", Plant
vocally mimics Page's guitar effects, a metallicised version of the "Call and response (music)call and response" blues
technique. Beck had previously recorded "You Shook Me" for his album, Truth, and accused Page of stealing his
idea. With John Paul Jones and Keith Moon, Page had played on (and says he arranged) "Beck's Bolero", an
instrumental on Truth that would be grooved into the mix of the Led Zeppelin jam "How Many More Times". These
cross-pollinations led to a rift between Beck and Page, who had played in the Yardbirds together and been friends
since childhood.Stephen Davis (1995). Hammer of the Gods (LPC). pp.44, 57 64, 190, 225, 277.
ISBN0-330-43859-X. In fact, it was Page who first suggested Beck for the Yardbirds' guitarist position when he was
contacted by the band after Eric Clapton's departure.In an interview he gave in 1975, Page offered his own
perspective on the album's music: For material, we obviously went right down to our blues roots. I still had plenty of
Yardbirds riffs left over. By the time Jeff [Beck] did go, it was up to me to come up with a lot of new stuff. It was
this thing where [Eric] Clapton set a heavy precedent in the Yardbirds which Beck had to follow and then it was
even harder for me, in a way, because the second lead guitarist had suddenly become the first. And I was under
pressure to come up with my own riffs. On the first LP I was still heavily influenced by the earlier days. I think it
tells a bit, too... It was obvious that somebody had to take the lead, otherwise we'd have all sat around jamming for
six months. But after that, on the Led Zeppelin IIsecond LP, you can really hear the group identity coming together.
"Cameron Crowe interview Led Zeppelin". 1975-03-18. . Retrieved 2007-11-07.Plant is credited on the album with
"occasional bass". In an interview he gave to Rolling Stone magazine in 2005, Plant made reference to this:In truth, I
was an occasional bass player. It says so on Zeppelin I, next to my name: vocals, harmonica and occasional bass.

Very occasionally -- once, I think, since 1968. How in God's name that ended up on the cover is so funny. I'm sure
Jonesy [John Paul Jones] didn't like it [laughs]. But I suppose every time he fucked up he could say it was me.Austin
Scaggs, Q&A: Robert Plant, Rolling Stone, 5 May 2005.Reception The album was advertised in selected music
papers under the slogan "Led Zeppelin the only way to fly". It initially received poor reviews. In a stinging
assessment, Rolling Stone magazine asserted that the band offered "little that its twin, the Jeff Beck Group, didn't say
as well or better three months ago... It would seem that if they are to fill the void created by the demise of Cream
(band)Cream, they will have to find a producer, editor and some material worthy of their collective talents."Rolling
Stone (magazine)Rolling Stone, 15 March 1969.Mat Snow, Apocalypse Then, Q (magazine)Q magazine,
December 1990, pp. 74-82. It also called Plant "as foppish as Rod Stewart, but nowhere near so exciting". BBC
News 12 September 2007 John Paul Jones later recalled:We had appalling press at the time. Nobody seemed to want
to know us for one reason or another. We got to America and read the Rolling Stone review of the very first album,
which was going on about us as another hyped British band. We couldn't believe it. In our naivety we thought we'd
done a good album and were doing all right, and then this venom comes flying out. We couldn't understand why or
what we'd done to them. After that we were very wary of the press, which became a chicken-and-egg situation. We
avoided them and so they avoided us. It was only because we did a lot of shows that our reputation got around as a
good live band.As was noted by rock journalist Cameron Crowe years later: "It was a time of 'super-groups', of
furiously hyped bands who could barely cut it, and Led Zeppelin initially found themselves fighting upstream to
prove their authenticity."Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The Complete Studio Recordings (Led Zeppelin
album)The Complete Studio RecordingsHowever, press reaction to the album was not entirely negative. In Britain
the album received a glowing review in the Melody Maker. Chris Welch wrote, in a review titled "Jimmy Page
triumphs Led Zeppelin is a gas!": "their material does not rely on obvious blues riffs, although when they do play
them, they avoid the emaciated feebleness of most so-called British blues bands".The album was very commercially
successful. It was initially released in America on 17 January 1969 to capitalise on the band's Led Zeppelin North
American Tour 1968/1969first U.S. concert tour. Before that, Atlantic Records had distributed a few hundred
advance white label copies to key radio stations and reviewers. A positive reaction to its contents, coupled with a
good reaction to the band's opening concerts, resulted in the album generating 50,000 advance orders. Within two
months of its release the album had reached Billboard's Top 10. "Led Zeppelin Biography". Rolling Stone. .
Retrieved 2009-09-09. It stayed on the Billboard chart for 73 weeks and held a 79-week run on the British charts. By
1975 it had grossed $7,000,000. Billboard discographyLegacy The success and influence of the album is today
widely acknowledged, even amongst those critics who were initially sceptical. In 2006, for example, Rolling Stone
stated that:[The album] was pretty much unlike anything else. The arrangements were more sculpted than those of
Cream (band)Cream or Jimi Hendrix, and the musicianship wasn't cumbersome like Iron Butterfly's or bombastic
like Vanilla Fudge's. The closest comparisons might be to MC5 or the Stoogesboth from Michiganyet neither
had the polish or prowess of Led Zeppelin, nor did Led Zeppelin have the political, social or die-hard sensibility of
those landmark bands. What they did have, though, was the potential for a mass audience.According to Lewis: Time
has done nothing to diminish the quality of one of the finest debut albums ever recorded. There's an urgency and
enthusiasm about their performance that retains timeless charm. The nine cuts offer a tour de force of powerful yet
often subtle dynamics... And let's not forget the fact that with this album, Page virtually invents the guitar riff as a
key songwriting component.In 2003, VH1 named Led Zeppelin the 44th greatest album of all time, while Rolling
Stone ranked it 29th on the magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Timethe 500 greatest albums of all

II"Whole Lotta Love"/"Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)"Released: 1969Led Zeppelin II is the second
studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in October 1969 on Atlantic Records. Recording sessions
for the album took place at several locations in the UK and North America from January to August 1969. Production
was entirely credited to lead guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page, while it also served as Led Zeppelin's first album
to utilise the recording techniques of engineer Eddie Kramer.Led Zeppelin II furthered the lyrical themes established
on their debut album, creating a work that became more widely acclaimed and influential than its predecessor. With
elements of blues and folk music, it also exhibits the band's evolving musical style of blues-derived material and
their guitar and riff-based sound. It is one of the band's heaviest albums.#refBuckley2003Buckley 2003, p. 502, "The
heaviest Zep album, but showcasing Plant's growing confidence as a songwriter".Upon release, Led Zeppelin II
earned a considerable amount of sales and was Led Zeppelin's first album to reach #1 in the UK and the US. In 1970,
art director David Juniper was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for the album. On 15
November 1999, it was certified RIAA certification12x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of
AmericaRIAA for sales in excess of 12 million copies. Following its initial reception, it has been recognised by
writers and music critics as one of the greatest and most influential rock albums ever
recorded.ConceptionBackgroundLed Zeppelin II was conceived during a hectic and much-travelled period of Led
Zeppelin's career from January through August 1969, when they completed four European and three American Led
Zeppelin concert tour chronologyconcert tours.Rosen, Craig (1996). The Billboard Book of Number One Albums:
The Inside Story Behind Pop Music's Blockbuster Records (1st ed.). New York: Billboard Books. p.118.
ISBN0-8230-7586-9. The album furthered the lyrical themes established on their debut album, Led Zeppelin
(album)Led Zeppelin (1969). This progress helped create a work that became more widely acclaimed and influential
than its predecessor. With elements of blues and folk music, it also exhibited the band's evolving musical style of
blues-derived material and their guitar and riff-based sound.Each song was separately recorded, mixed and produced
at various studios in the UK and North America. The album was written on tour, during periods of a couple of hours
in between concerts, a studio was booked and the recording process begun, resulting in a sound with spontaneity and
urgency through necessity. Bassist John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones recalled that "We were touring a lot.
Jimmy [Page]'s riffs were coming fast and furious. A lot of them came from onstage especially during the long
improvised section of 'Dazed and Confused (song)Dazed and Confused'. We'd remember the good stuff and dart into
a studio along the way."Liner notes for the Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin (box set)boxed set.Some of the recording
studios used by the band were not the most advanced. One studio in Vancouver, credited as "a hut",Cleveland, Barry.

"It was crazy really. We were writing the numbers in hotel rooms and then we'd do a rhythm track in London, add
the vocal in New York, overdub the harmonica in Vancouver and then come back to finish mixing at New

0-7119-5307-4, p. 32."Thank You (Led Zeppelin song)Thank You", "The Lemon Song" and "Moby Dick
(instrumental)Moby Dick" were overdubbed during the tour, while the audio mixing (recorded music)mixing of
"Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)Heartbreaker" was also done on tour. Page later stated
"In other words, some of the material came out of rehearsing for the next tour and getting new material
together."Recording Recording sessions for the album took place at Olympic and Morgan Studios in London,
England, A&M, Quantum, Sunset, Mirror Sound and Mystic Studios in Los Angeles, California, Ardent Studios in
Memphis, Tennessee, A&R, Juggy Sound, Groove and Mayfair Studios in New York City, and the "hut" in
Vancouver. Production was entirely credited to Jimmy Page, while it also served as Led Zeppelin's first album to
utilise the skills and recording techniques of engineer Eddie Kramer, whose prior work with Jimi Hendrix had
impressed the band's members, especially Page. Led Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis wrote of the album's production,
stating "That the album turned out to be such a triumph, in particular for a production quality that still sounds fresh
today, was in no small way due to the successful alliance with Page and Kramer in the control room." This
partnership was particularly exhibited in the central section of the track "Whole Lotta Love". Kramer later said, "The
famous Whole Lotta Love mix, where everything is going bananas, is a combination of Jimmy and myself just flying
around on a small console twiddling every knob known to man."In another interview, Kramer later gave great credit
to Page for the sound that was achieved, despite the inconsistent conditions in which it was recorded: "We did that
album piece-meal. We cut some of the tracks in some of the most bizarre studios you can imagine, little holes in the
wall. Cheap studios. But in the end it sounded bloody marvellous. There was a unification of sound on [Led]
Zeppelin II because there was one guy in charge and that was Mr. Page.""Their Time is Gonna Come", Classic Rock
Magazine: Classic Rock Presents Led Zeppelin, 2008, p. 21. Page and Kramer spent two days mixing the album at
A&R Studios.CompositionThe finished tracks reflect the raw, evolving sound of the band and their ability as live
performers. The album has been noted for featuring a further development of the lyrical themes established by
Robert Plant on Led Zeppelin's debut album, creating a work which would become more widely acclaimed and
arguably more influential. allmusic: Led Zeppelin II. All Media Guide, LLC. Retrieved on 11 February

Retrieved on 9 February 2009. As was later observed by Plant himself: Led Zep II was very virile. That was the
album that was going to dictate whether or not we had the staying power and the capacity to stimulate. It was still
blues-based but it was a much more carnal approach to the music and quite flamboyant. It was created on the run
between hotel rooms and the GTOs, and that was quite something.Nigel Williamson, "Good Times...Bad Times",
Uncut (magazine)Uncut, May 2005, p. 56.Led Zeppelin II also features experimentation with other musical styles
and approaches, as on the alternately soft-and-loud "What Is and What Should Never Be" and "Ramble On", (which
featured Page's Steel-string guitaracoustic guitar), or the pop-influenced ballad "Thank You". With its mysterious
atmospherics, "Ramble On" helped develop hard rock's association with fantasy themes, which had been partly
derived from the psychedelic rock genre of two to three years before, but also from Plant's personal interest in the
writings of J. R. R. Tolkien. This musical direction would later culminate on Led Zeppelin IV (and countless
subsequent groups would later carry the influence to further extremes). Conversely, the instrumental "Moby Dick"
features an extended drum solo by John Bonham, which would be extended further during Led Zeppelin concert tour
chronologyLed Zeppelin concert performances sometimes for as long as half an hour.Page's contribution to this
album was significant, as his electric guitar solo on the song "Heartbreaker" was emulated by many younger rock
guitarists, and exemplifies the group's intense musical attack. Led Zeppelin II is the band's first album to feature
Page playing a 1959 Gibson Les Paul, the electric guitar he helped popularise. His innovative recording and drum

into his own as a producer around "Whole Lotta Love". The backwards echo stuff. A lot of the microphone
techniques were just inspired. Everybody thinks he goes into the studio with huge walls of amps, but he doesn't. He
uses a really small amp and he just mic's it up really well, so it fits into a sonic picture.The album's material also
marked a certain honing of Plant's vocal approach,Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The Complete Studio
Recordings (Led Zeppelin album)The Complete Studio Recordings, p. 9. and signalled his emergence as a serious
songwriter. Plant's name had previously been absent from the songwriting credits of the band's first album due to the
previous contractual commitments that resulted from his earlier association with CBS Records as a solo artist. His
influence on tracks such as "What Is and What Should Never Be" and "Ramble On" were pointers to the band's
musical future. Plant has commented that it was only during the sessions for Led Zeppelin II that he started to feel at
home as a vocalist in the studio with Led Zeppelin. In a 2008 interview for Uncut (magazine)Uncut, he stated
"[D]uring Led Zep I (1969) as far as I was concerned, I thought that I was going to [leave the band] anyway. I didn't
feel that comfortable because there were a lot of demands on me vocallywhich there were all the way through the
Zeppelin thing. And I was quite nervous and didn't really get into enjoying it until II."Jones, Allan. "Robert Plant:
'We did what we set out to do...'", Uncut Magazine, May 2008, pp. 3843.Album sleeve designThe WW1
photograph on which the album sleeve was based The album sleeve design was from a poster by David Juniper, who
was simply told by the band to come up with an idea that was "interesting". His design was based on a photograph of
the Jasta 11 Division of the LuftstreitkrfteGerman Air Force during WWI, the famed Jagdgeschwader 1 (World
War 1)Flying Circus led by Manfred von Richthofen, and the Red Baron. After the picture was tinted, the faces of
the four members of the band were airbrushed on from a 1969 publicity photograph, as well as the faces of band
manager Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant and tour manager Richard Cole. The woman in the picture is
Glynis Johns, the mother from Mary Poppins (film)Mary Poppins. Her presence in the photo is an obvious play on
the name of recording engineer Glyn Johns. Contrary to popular belief, the guitarist Blind Willie Johnson is not
featured on the album cover. There is only one known photo of Johnson in existence, and it is not the same face as
the one shown on the album cover. The cover also pictured the outline of a Zeppelin on a brown background, which
gave the album its nickname "Brown Bomber".Release and receptionThe album was released on 22 October 1969 on
Atlantic Records, with advance orders of 400,000 copies.Welch, Chris (1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books.
ISBN 1857979303, p. 40. The advertising campaign was built around the slogan 'Led Zeppelin II Now Flying'.
Commercially, Led Zeppelin II was the band's first album to hit #1 in the US, knocking The Beatles' Abbey Road
(1969) twice from the top spot, where it remained for seven weeks. By April 1970 it had registered three million
American sales, whilst in Britain it enjoyed a 138 week residence on the LP chart, climbing to the top spot in
February 1970.The album also yielded Led Zeppelin's biggest hit with the track "Whole Lotta Love". This song
reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100]] in January 1970, after Atlantic went against the group's wishes by releasing a
shorter version on 45. The single's B-side, "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)", also hit the Billboard chart,
peaking at #65 in April 1970. The album helped establish Led Zeppelin as an international concert attraction, as for
the next year, the group continued to tour relentlessly, initially performing in clubs and ballrooms, then in larger
auditoriums and eventually stadiums as their popularity grew. allmusic: Led Zeppelin Bio. All Media Guide, LLC.

(rather than vocal Refrainchorus or Verse-chorus formverses) defines the song and provides the key hook. Such
arrangements and emphasis were at the time atypical in popular music. Page's guitar solo in "Heartbreaker" featuring

album by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded between January and July 1970 and released on 5
October 1970 by Atlantic Records. Composed largely at a remote cottage in Wales known as Bron-Yr-Aur, this work
represented a maturing of the band's music towards a greater emphasis on folk and acoustic sounds. This surprised
many fans and critics, and upon its release the album received rather indifferent reviews. Although it is not one of
the highest sellers in Zeppelin's catalogue, Led Zeppelin III is now generally praised, and acknowledged as
representing an important milestone in the band's history.Recording sessionsBron-Yr-Aur cottageMany of the songs
featured on the album were conceived in mid-1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, an 18th century cottage in Gwynedd, Wales, on
a hilltop overlooking the River DyfiDyfi Valley, three miles north of the market town Machynlleth. There, Jimmy
Page and Robert Plant spent some time after a Led Zeppelin North American Tour Spring 1970concert tour of North
America to play and compose new music. This remote setting had no running water or electric power, which
encouraged a slight change of musical direction for the band towards an emphasis on acoustic arrangements.Dave
Lewis (1994), The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus Press, ISBN 0-7119-3528-9Chris Welch
(1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books. ISBN 0-85797-930-3, pp. 52, 55. As Page later explained: After the
intense touring that had been taking place through the first two albums, working almost 24 hours a day, basically, we
managed to stop and have a proper break, a couple of months as opposed to a couple of weeks. We decided to go off
and rent a cottage to provide a contrast to motel rooms. Obviously, it had quite an effect on the material that was
written... It was the tranquility of the place that set the tone of the album. Obviously, we weren't crashing away at
100 watt Marshall AmplificationMarshall stacks. Having played acoustic and being interested in classical guitar,
anyway, being in a cottage without electricity, it was acoustic guitar time... After all the heavy, intense vibe of
touring which is reflected in the raw energy of the second album, it was just a totally different feeling.Dave Schulps,
Interview with Jimmy Page, Trouser Press, October 1977.Plant has expressed similar recollections: [Bron-Yr-Aur]
was a fantastic place in the middle of nowhere with no facilities at all-and it was a fantastic test of what we could do
in that environment. Because by that time we'd become obsessed with change, and the great thing was that we were
also able to create a pastoral side of Led Zep. Jimmy was listening to Davey Graham and Bert Jansch and was
experimenting with different tunings, and I loved John Fahey (musician)John Fahey. So it was a very natural place
for us to go to.Nigel Williamson, "Good Times...Bad Times", Uncut (magazine)Uncut, May 2005, p. 56.After
preparing the material that would emerge on the album, Page and Plant were joined by the other members of the
band (John Bonham and John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones) at Headley Grange, a run-down mansion in
East Hampshire, to rehearse the songs. With its relaxed atmosphere and rural surroundings, Headley Grange
90
Led Zeppelin III

appealed to the band as the favoured alternative to the discipline of a conventional studio.The album was then
recorded in a series of sessions in May and June 1970 at both Headley Grange and at Olympic Studios, London.
Some additional work was put in at Island Records' new Basing Street Studios in Notting Hill, London, in July, then
mixed at Ardent Studios, Memphis, TennesseeMemphis in August 1970 during Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin North
American Tour Summer 1970sixth American concert tour. The album was produced by Page and engineered by
Andy Johns and Terry Manning. Composition As noted above, Led Zeppelin III marked a change in focus for the
band from late 1960s hard rock to a more folk rock or electric folk and Acoustic musicacoustic inspired sound.
These styles had been present to a lesser degree in the band's first two releases, but here it was the main emphasis,
and one that would remain prominent in some of the group's later albums. This development endeared the band to
many progressive rock fans who would never have listened to Led Zeppelin's established blues and rock repertoire.
With Led Zeppelin III the group's songwriting dynamic also changed, from Page's domination of the first two albums
towards a more democratic affair in which all four group members contributed their own compositions and
ideaspatterns that would continue in future sessions.The album contains two songs which became key components
of the band's live concert performances for many years: "Immigrant Song" and "Since I've Been Loving You". The
first of these, written by Page and Plant, is about the Viking invasions of England and was inspired by the band's
recent live performance in Iceland. "Since I've Been Loving You" is a classic, original blues in the key of C minor
featuring heartfelt interplay by all four group members. It would become a live performance staple for the band,
replacing "I Can't Quit You Baby" from the first album as the band's slow blues showcase. The album also featured
the rock songs "Celebration Day" and "Out on the Tiles," the eastern-influenced "Friends (Led Zeppelin
song)Friends" and the acoustic tracks "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", "Tangerine (Led Zeppelin song)Tangerine" and "That's
the Way (Led Zeppelin song)That's the Way", the last considered by Page to be a breakthrough for still-developing
lyric writer Plant.Gilmore, Mikal (10 August 2006). "The Long Shadow of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone (1006). .
Retrieved 9 December 2007. The song "The Maid Freed from the Gallows#Led Zeppelin versionGallows Pole" is an
updated arrangement of a traditional folk song called "The Maid Freed from the Gallows". The album concludes
with "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper", a track dedicated to their influential contemporary and friend, Roy Harper,
honouring Harpers work and acknowledging the band's roots in acoustic music. Release and critical reactionLed
Zeppelin III was one of the most eagerly awaited albums of 1970, and advance orders in the US alone were close to
the million mark. Its release was trailered by a full page advertisement taken out in Melody Maker magazine at the
end of September, which simply said "Thank you for making us the world's number one band."Although the band's
expanding musical boundaries were greeted warmly by some, detractors attacked the heavier tracks as being
mindless noise. In a representative review published in Rolling Stone (magazine)Rolling Stone, critic Lester Bangs
praised "That's the Way" as "beautiful and genuinely moving", while characterizing the band's heavier songs as
crude and little differentiated from each other.Bangs, Lester (November 26, 1970). "Records: Led Zeppelin III".
Rolling Stone (Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc.) (71): 34. Others criticised the acoustic material for merely imitating
the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.Davis, Stephen (4 July 1985). "Power, Mystery And The Hammer Of
The Gods: The Rise and Fall of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone (451). . Retrieved 15 January 2008. Page suggested
that this comparison was inaccurate, stating in an interview he gave to Cameron Crowe that:When the third LP came
out and got its reviews, Crosby, Stills and Nash had just formed. That LP had just come out and because acoustic
guitars had come to the forefront all of a sudden: LED ZEPPELIN GO ACOUSTIC! I thought, Christ, where are
their heads and ears? There were three acoustic songs on the first album and two on the second. "Cameron Crowe
interview Led Zeppelin". 18 March 1975. . Retrieved 7 November 2007.Page has also said that the negative press
given to the third album affected him so much that he did not give press interviews for 18 months after its release,
and was also one of the reasons why the band's subsequent Led Zeppelin IVuntitled album contained no written
information on it at all. However, in more recent years, he has commented on the negative press reaction in
somewhat more diplomatic terms: [W]ith hindsight, I can see how if somebody got Led Zeppelin III, which was so
different from what we'd done before, and they only had a short time to review it on the record player in the office,
then they missed the content. They were in a rush and they were looking for the new "Whole Lotta Love" and not

actually listening to what was there. It was too fresh for them and they didn't get the plot. So, in retrospect, it doesn't
surprise me that the diversity and breadth of what we were doing was overlooked or under-appreciated at the
time.Nigel Williamson, "Forget the Myths", Uncut (magazine)Uncut, May 2005, p. 70.Led Zeppelin III was a
trans-Atlantic #1 hit. It spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard chart, while it entered that British chart at #1 and
remained there for three weeks (returning to the top for a further week on 12 December). However, following the
lukewarm, if not confused and sometimes dismissive reception from critics, sales lagged after this initial peak. As
Plant said:Led Zeppelin III was not one of the best sellers in the catalogue because the audience turned round and
said 'What are we supposed to do with this?' - 'Where is our 'Whole Lotta Love Part 2'? They wanted something like
Paranoid (album)Paranoid by Black Sabbath! But we wanted to go acoustic and a piece like "Gallows Pole" still had
all the power of "Whole Lotta Love" because it allowed us to be dynamic.In spite of its initially indifferent reviews
and lower sales than Led Zeppelin's other early albums, Led Zeppelin III's reputation has recovered considerably
with the passage of time. The RIAA certified the album 2x platinum in 1990, and 6x platinum in 1999. LED

edition was packaged in a gatefold sleeve with an innovative cover, designed by Zacron, a multi-media artist whom
Page had met in 1963 whilst Zacron was a student at Kingston College of Art. [[Zacron] - Led Zeppelin III Rock
album cover Gallery] He had recently resigned a lectureship at Leeds Metropolitan UniversityLeeds Polytechnic to
found Zacron Studios, and in 1970 Page contacted him and asked him to design the third album's cover.The cover
and interior gatefold art consisted of a surreal collection of seemingly random images on a white background, many
of them connected thematically with flight or aviation (as in "Zeppelin"). Behind the front cover was a rotatable
laminated card disc, or volvelles, covered with more images, including photos of the band members, which showed
through holes in the cover. Moving an image into place behind one hole would usually bring one or two others into
place behind other holes. This could not be replicated on a conventional cassette or CD cover, but there have been
Japanese and British CDs packaged in miniature versions of the original sleeve. In France this album was released
with a different album cover, simply showing a photo of the four band members. The volvelle used on the front
coverThe idea of including a volvelle, based on crop rotation charts, was initially Page's concept. However, the result
was a meeting of minds as Zacron had been working on rotating graphics from 1965. Zacron felt that by not
including text on the front of the cover, the art would endure.Daily Mail 'Live' Magazine, 2 December 2007,
interview with ZacronIn an article featured in the December 2007 issue of Classic Rock MagazineClassic Rock
magazine, Zacron claimed that upon his completion of the artwork, Page telephoned him while he was in New York
to express his satisfaction with the results, saying "I think it is fantastic"."Hats Off to Zacron", Classic Rock
Magazine, December 2007 However, in a 1998 interview Page himself gave to Guitar World magazine, he described
the results as a disappointment:I thought it looked very Teenybopperteeny-bopperish. But we were on top of a
deadline, so of course there was no way to make any radical changes to it. There were some silly bitslittle chunks

England, to conduct additional recordings. Here they used the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Jimmy Page later
recalled, "We needed the sort of facilities where we could have a cup of tea and wander around the garden and go in
and do what we had to do."Dave Lewis (1994), The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus Press,
ISBN 0-7119-3528-9. This relaxed, atmospheric environment at Headley Grange also provided other advantages for
the band. As is explained by Dave Lewis, "By moving into Headley Grange for the whole period of recording, many
of the tracks [on the album] were made up on the spot and committed to tape almost there and then."Once the basic
tracks had been recorded, the band later added overdubs at Island Studios, and then took the completed master tapes
to Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, CA for mixing. However, the mix ultimately proved to be less than satisfactory,
creating an unwanted delay in the album's release. Further mixing had to be undertaken in London, pushing the final
release date back by some months.Three other songs from the sessions, "Down by the Seaside", "Night Flight

the album sleeve was contrary to strong advice given to him by a press agent, who said that after a year's absence
from both records and touring, the move would be akin to "professional suicide".Dave Schulps, Interview with
Jimmy Page, Trouser Press, October 1977. In his words: "We just happened to have a lot of faith in what we were
doing." In an interview he gave to The Times in 2010, he elaborated:It wasnt easy. The record company were sort of
insisting that the name go on it. There were eyes looking towards heaven if you like. It was hinted it was professional
suicide to go out with an album with no title. The reality of it was that wed had so many dour reviews to our albums
along the way. At the time each came out it was difficult sometimes for the reviewers to come to terms with what
was on there, without an immediate point of reference to the previous album. But the ethic of the band was very
much summing up where we were collectively at that point in time. An untitled album struck me as the best answer
to all the critics because we knew the way that the music was being received both by sales and attendance at
concerts.James Jackson, " Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin IV, the band's peak and their reunion, The Times, January 8,
2010 .Owing to the lack of an official title, Atlantic initially distributed graphics of the symbols in many sizes to the
press for inclusion in charts and articles. The album was one of the first to be produced without conventional
identification, and this communicated an anti-commercial stance that was controversial at the time (especially among
certain executives at Atlantic Records). The idea for each member of the band to choose a personal emblem for the
cover was Page's. In an interview he gave in 1977, he recalled: After all this crap that we'd had with the critics, I put
it to everybody else that it'd be a good idea to put out something totally anonymous. At first I wanted just one symbol
on it, but then it was decided that since it was our fourth album and there were four of us, we could each choose our
own symbol. I designed mine and everyone else had their own reasons for using the symbols that they used.Page
stated that he designed his own symbol and has never publicly disclosed any reasoning behind it. However, it has
been argued that his symbol appeared as early as 1557 to represent Saturn (astrology)#SaturnSaturn. "Zoso Jimmy

The symbol is sometimes referred to as "ZoSo", though Page has explained that it was not in fact intended to be a
word at all.Bassist John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones' symbol, which he chose from Rudolf Koch's Book of
Signs, is a single circle intersecting three Vesica piscisvesica pisces (a triquetra). It is intended to symbolise a person
who possesses both confidence and competence.Drummer John Bonham's symbol, the three interlocking rings, was
picked by the drummer from the same book. It represents the triad of mother, father and child. In the 1990 Bonham
tribute radio special, "It's Been a Long Time", son Jason Bonham confirmed that the symbol was chosen as a
representation of man, woman and child, but also happens to be the logo for Ballantine (brewery)Ballantine
beer.Singer Robert Plant's symbol was his own design, being based on the sign of the supposed Mu (lost
continent)Mu civilisation.There is also a fifth, smaller symbol chosen by guest vocalist Sandy Denny representing
her contribution to the track "The Battle of Evermore"; it appears in the credits list on the inner sleeve of the LP,
serving as an asterisk and is shaped like three triangles touching at their points. During Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin
United Kingdom Tour Winter 1971tour of the United Kingdom in winter 1971, which took place shortly following
the release of the album, the band visually projected the four symbols on their stage equipment. Page's symbol was
put onto one of his Marshall amplifiers, Bonham's three interlinked circles adorned the outer face of his bass drum,
Jones had his symbol stenciled onto material which was draped across his Fender Rhodes musical
keyboardkeyboard, and Plant's feather symbol was painted onto a side speaker PA cabinet. Only Page's and

show the six pointed star within the hermit's lantern. If the inside cover of the album is held vertically against a
mirror, a man's face can be seen hidden in the rocks below the hermit. Speculation exists that the face is actually that
of a black dog.The typeface for the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven", printed on the inside sleeve of the album, was
Page's contribution. He found it in an old arts and crafts magazine called Studio Magazine which dated from the late
19th century. He thought the lettering was interesting and arranged for someone to work up a whole alphabet.Release
and critical reactionThe album was released on 8 November 1971. In the lead-up to its release, a series of teaser
advertisements depicting each symbol was placed in the music press.The album was a massive instant seller. It
entered the UK chart at #1 and stayed on the chart for 62 weeks. In the US it stayed on the charts longer than any
other Led Zeppelin album and became the biggest selling album in the US not to top the charts (peaking at #2).
"Ultimately," writes Lewis, "the fourth Zeppelin album would be the most durable seller in their catalogue and the
most impressive critical and commercial success of their career".Accolades In 1998, Q (magazine)Q magazine

Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on 28 March 1973. The album title is a dedication by the band to their fans
who appeared at Music venuevenues they dubbed "Houses of the Holy." It was the second Led Zeppelin album to
not officially be titled after the band. It was also the first of the band's albums to be composed of completely original
material. It represents a musical turning point for Led Zeppelin, as they began to use more layering and music
productionproduction techniques in recording their songs.The record albumalbum provided notable additions to the
band's catalogue of songs, and it has certified for shipping 11million copies in the United States. "American album
certifications Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy". Recording Industry Association of America. . In 2003, Houses
of the Holy was ranked number 149 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Timethe
500 greatest albums of all time.Recording sessions Much of this album was recorded in Spring 1972 at Stargroves,
the country estate in Berkshire which was owned by Mick Jagger, through the use of the Rolling Stones Mobile
Studio. Some songs from the album had initially been tried out earlier than this, such as "No Quarter (song)No
Quarter", which was first attempted during a session at Headley Grange.Dave Lewis (1994), The Complete Guide to
the Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus Press, ISBN 0-7119-3528-9Several of the songs were produced as trial
recordings (Demo (music)demos) at the personal studios of guitarist Jimmy Page and bass player/keyboardist John
Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones. These two musicians had recently installed these studios in their respective
homes, which enabled them to complete the arrangements which had been laid down earlier. In particular, Page was
able to present complete arrangements of "The Rain Song" and "Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin
song)Over the Hills and Far Away", while Jones had developed "No Quarter".Another bout of recording took place
at Olympic Studios in May 1972, and during the band's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19721972 North
American tour additional recording sessions were conducted at Electric Lady Studios in New York.Some songs
which were recorded from these various sessions did not eventually make it onto Houses of the Holy, namely "Black
Country Woman", "Walter's Walk", "The Rover (song)The Rover" and also the title-track, "Houses of the Holy
(song)Houses of the Holy". All of these songs were retained and later released on subsequent Led Zeppelin
albums.Composition This album was a stylistic turning point in the lifespan of Led Zeppelin. Guitar riffs became
more layered within Jimmy Page's production techniques and departed from the blues influences of earlier records.
In the album's opening opus, "The Song Remains the Same (song)The Song Remains the Same", and its intricate
companion suite, "The Rain Song", Robert Plant's lyrics matured toward a less overt form of the mysticism and
fantasy of previous efforts. Houses of the Holy also featured styles not heard on the first four Led Zeppelin albums.
For example, "D'yer Mak'er" is a reggae-based tune (the name of the song being derived from the phonetic spelling
100
Houses of the Holy

of the British pronunciation of "Jamaica"); "No Quarter (song)No Quarter" features atmospheric keyboard sounds
and an acoustic piano solo from John Paul Jones; "The Crunge" is a funk tribute to James Brown; and "The Rain
Song" is embellished by Jones on his newly-acquired mellotron. The album's closing song "The Ocean (Led
Zeppelin song)The Ocean", which features an a cappella section and a doo-wop influenced coda, is dedicated to "the
ocean" of fans who were massing to Led Zeppelin concerts at this point of the band's career.According to Led
Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis: In retrospect, 'Houses of the Holy' holds its ground with the middle period releases
quite admirably. The barnstorming effect of the early era was now levelling off and though devoid of the electricity
of 'Led Zeppelin (album)Led Zeppelin I' and 'Led Zeppelin IIII', or the sheer diversity of the Led Zeppelin IIIthird
album, and lacking the classic status of the Led Zeppelin IVfourth, 'Houses' took stock of their situation. In doing so,
it laid several foundations on which they would expand their future collective musical aspirations.Album sleeve
designHouses of the Holy album cover, outer gatefold The cover art for Houses of the Holy was inspired by the
ending of Arthur C. Clarke's novel Childhood's End. (The ending involves several hundred million naked children,
only slightly and physically resembling the human race in basic forms.) It is a collage of several photographs which
were taken at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland, by Aubrey Powell (designer)Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis.
This location was chosen ahead of an alternative one in Peru which was being considered.The two children who
modelled for the cover were siblings Stefan GatesStefan and Samanatha Gates.Hewett, Rick (8 December 2007).
"Solved: Mystery of the iconic Led Zeppelin album cover and its golden-haired children". Daily Mail (London). .
The photoshoot was a frustrating affair over the course of ten days. Shooting was done first thing in the morning and
at sunset in order to capture the light at dawn and dusk, but the desired effect was never achieved due to constant rain
and clouds. The photos of the two children were taken in black and white and were multi-printed to create the effect
of 11 individuals that can be seen on the album cover. The results of the shoot were less than satisfactory, but some
accidental tinting effects in post-production created an unexpectedly striking album cover. The inner sleeve
photograph was taken at Dunluce Castle near to the Causeway. In February 2010 Stefan Gates presented a half-hour
BBC Radio 4 documentary entitled Stefan Gates's Cover Story, about his part in the making of the album cover.
Gates claimed in the documentary to have felt there was something sinister about the image, although his sister
disagreed. He also admitted never actually having heard the album. The programme ended with Gates returning to
Giant's Causeway and listening to the album on a portable player, after which he claimed that a great weight had
been lifted from him.Like Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin IVfourth album, neither the band's name nor the album title
was printed on the sleeve. However, manager Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant did allow Atlantic Records to
add a wrap-around paper title band to US and UK copies of the sleeve that had to be broken or slid off to access the
record. This hid the children's buttocks from general display, but still the album was either banned or unavailable in
some parts of the Southern United States for several years. Classic Rock Covers: Led Zeppelin; Houses of the Holy.

The cover was rated #6 on VH1's 50 Greatest Album Covers in 2003. Jimmy Page has stated that the album cover
was actually the second version submitted by Hipgnosis. The first, by artist Storm Thorgerson, featured an electric
green tennis court with a tennis racquet on it. Furious that Thorgerson was implying their music sounded like a
"racket", the band fired him and hired Powell in his place.Brad Tolinski and Greg Di Bendetto, "Light and Shade",
Guitar World, January 1998. Thorgerson did, however, go on to produce the album artwork for Led Zeppelin's
subsequent albums Presence (album)Presence and In Through the Out Door.Release and critical reaction This was
Led Zeppelin's final studio release on Atlantic Records before forming their own label, Swan Song Records, in 1974.
It was also the only Led Zeppelin album that contained complete printed lyrics to each song. "The epic scale suited
Zeppelin: They had the largest crowds, the loudest rock songs, the most groupies, the fullest manes of hair.

2008. Although intended for release in January 1973, delays in producing the album cover meant that it was not
released until March, when the band was on its Led Zeppelin European Tour 19731973 European tour. The album
was promoted heavily before the commencement of Led Zeppelin's subsequent Led Zeppelin North American Tour
1973North American Tour, ensuring that it had ascended the top of the American chart by the beginning of the tour.
Because much of the album had been recorded almost a year previously, many of the songs which are featured on the
album had already been played live by Led Zeppelin on their concert tours of North America, Japan, Europe and the
United Kingdom in 1972-1973.Upon its release, the album received some mixed reviews,Michael Wale, " Led
Zeppelin", The Times, 11 July 1973. with much criticism from the music press being directed at the off-beat nature
of tracks such as "The Crunge" and "D'yer Mak'er". However, the album was very commercially successful, entering
the UK chart at number one, while in America its 39-week run (2 of them spent at number one) on the Billboard Top
40 was their longest since their third album.In 2003, the album was ranked number 149 on Rolling Stone magazine's

Zeppelin. It is a double album which was released on 24 February 1975. Recording sessions for the album were
initially disrupted when John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones considered leaving the band. After reuniting at
Headley Grange, the band wrote and recorded eight songs, the combined length of which stretched the album beyond
the typical length of an LP. This prompted the band to make Physical Graffiti a double album by including
previously unreleased tracks from earlier recording sessions.Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically
successful; the album is 16 times platinum (though this signifies shipping of 8million copies, as it is a double album)
in the United States alone, "American album certifications Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti". Recording Industry
Association of America. . and has come to be regarded as one of Led Zeppelin's defining works. The album is ranked
highly on several prominent best album or best rock album lists of all time.Recording session The recording sessions
for Physical Graffiti initially took place in November 1973 at Headley Grange in East Hampshire, England. For these
recordings, the band used Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio. However, these sessions came to a halt quickly and the
studio time was turned over to the band Bad Company, who used it to record songs for their debut album, Bad

Company (album)Bad Company.Dave Lewis (1994), The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus
Press, ISBN 0-7119-3528-9 In an interview he gave in 1975, guitarist and album producer Jimmy Page explained the
reason for this abrupt cessation of recording:It took a long time for this album mainly because when we originally
went in to record it, John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones wasn't well and we had to cancel the time . . .
everything got messed up. It took three months to sort the situation out.Crowe, Cameron. " The Durable Led
Zeppelin" Rolling Stone 13 March 1975However, according to Led Zeppelin archivist Dave Lewis, It later emerged
that Jones had wanted to quit the band and take up a position as choirmaster at Winchester Cathedral. [Manager]
Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant urged caution, suggesting that Jones was overwrought from the incessant
touring and should take a rest from Zeppelin for a few weeks. Jones changed his mind and sessions resumed at
Headley Grange after the Christmas holidays.Once they had reconvened, the band recorded eight tracks at Headley
Grange in January and February 1974, which were engineered by Ron Nevison. Vocalist Robert Plant later referred
to these eight tracks as "the belters": We got eight tracks off ... and a lot of them were really raunchy. We did some
real belters with live vocals, off-the-wall stuff that turned out really nice.Similar to the sessions for the previous two
albums, the decision to record at the informal surroundings of Headley Grange provided a welcome opportunity for
the band to improvise and develop material along the way. As Plant commented: Some of the tracks we assembled in
our own fashioned way of running through a track and realising before we knew it that we had stumbled on
something completely different.Bron-Yr-Aur cottage Because the eight tracks extended beyond the length of a
conventional album, it was decided to include several unreleased songs which had been recorded during the sessions
for previous Led Zeppelin albums. The instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur (instrumental)Bron-Yr-Aur" was recorded in July
1970 at Island Studios, London, for Led Zeppelin III. It was named after Bron-Yr-Aur, a cottage in Gwynedd, Wales
where the members of Led Zeppelin spent time during the recording of Led Zeppelin III. "Night Flight (song)Night
Flight" and "Boogie with Stu" were recorded at Headley Grange and "Down by the Seaside" at Island Studios, all for
Led Zeppelin IV. "The Rover (song)The Rover" and "Black Country Woman" were recorded at the same sessions as
"D'yer Mak'er" at Stargroves using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio in May 1972. "Houses of the Holy
(song)Houses of the Holy" was also recorded in May 1972, but at Olympic Studios. The group's fifth album, Houses
of the Holy, took its title from this song despite the decision not to include the song on that album. Page
explained:We had more material than the required 40-odd minutes for one album. We had enough material for one
and a half LPs, so we figured let's put out a double and use some of the material we had done previously but never
released. It seemed like a good time to do that sort of thing, release tracks like "Boogie With Stu" which we normally
wouldn't be able to do ... [T]his time we figured it was better to stretch out than to leave off.Dave Schulps, Interview
with Jimmy Page, Trouser Press, October 1977.According to engineer Nevison, the decision to expand the album to
include songs from previous sessions was not part of the original planning: I never knew that Physical Graffiti was
going to be a double album. When we started out we were just cutting tracks for a new record. I left the project
before they started pulling in songs from Houses of the Holy and getting them up to scratch. So I didn't know it was
a double [album] until it came out."Their Time is Gonna Come", Classic Rock Magazine, December 2007Additional
overdubs were laid down and the final mixing of the album was performed in October 1974 by Keith Harwood at
Olympic Studios, London. The title "Physical Graffiti" was coined by Page to illustrate the whole physical and
written energy that had gone into producing the set.Music In the opinion of Lewis, Physical Graffitiwas a massive
outpouring of [Led] Zeppelin music that proved to be the definitive summary of their studio work ... Given the
luxury of a double format, Physical Graffiti mirrors every facet of the Zeppelin repertoire. The end result is a finely
balanced embarrassment of riches.Spanning several years of recording, the album featured forays into a range of
musical styles, including hard rock ("The Rover (song)The Rover", "The Wanton Song", "Sick Again". "Houses of
the Holy (song)Houses of the Holy"), eastern-influenced orchestral rock ("Kashmir (song)Kashmir"), driving funk
("Trampled Under Foot"), acoustic rock and roll ("Boogie With Stu", "Black Country Woman"), love ballad ("Ten
Years Gone"), blues rock ("In My Time of Dying#Led Zeppelin versionIn My Time of Dying") and acoustic guitar
instrumental ("Bron-Yr-Aur (instrumental)Bron-Yr-Aur"). Review at Allmusic Rolling Stone Review, Mar, 27 1975
The wide range of Physical Graffiti is also underlined by the fact that it contains both the longest and shortest studio

recordings by Led Zeppelin. "In My Time of Dying" clocks in at 11 minutes 5 seconds and "Bron-Yr-Aur" is 2
minutes 6 seconds. With the exception of "The Battle of Evermore" on their fourth album, it is also the only Led
Zeppelin album to feature bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones playing additional guitar on some tracks.Several
tracks off the album became live staples at Led Zeppelin concerts. In particular, the songs "In My Time of Dying",
"Trampled Under Foot", "Kashmir", "Ten Years Gone" and "Sick Again" became regular components of the band's
live concert set lists following the release of the album.According to vocalist Robert Plant, of all the albums Led
Zeppelin released, Physical Graffiti represented the band at its most creative and most expressive.Allan Jones,
"Robert Plant: We did what we set out to do...", Uncut Magazine, May 2008, pp. 38-43. He has commented that it
is his favourite Led Zeppelin album. Similarly, guitarist Jimmy Page considers this album to be a "high watermark"

Presence"Candy Store Rock"/"Royal Orleans"Released: 18 June 1976 Presence is the seventh studio album by the
English rock band Led Zeppelin, released by Swan Song Records on 31 March 1976. The album was written and
recorded during a tumultuous time in the band's history, as singer Robert Plant was recuperating from serious
injuries he had sustained in a recent car accident. The album received mixed reviews from critics and is one of the
lowest sellers in the band's catalogue.Background This album was conceived after Robert Plant sustained serious
injuries from a car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes on 5 August 1975, which forced the band to cancel a
proposed world tour that was due to commence on 23 August 1975.Dave Lewis (1994), The Complete Guide to the
Music of Led Zeppelin, Omnibus Press, ISBN 0-7119-3528-9 At this point, Led Zeppelin were arguably at the
height of their popularity. Plant recalled: I was lying there in some pain trying to get cockroaches off the bed and the
guy next to me, this drunken soldier, started singing "The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)The Ocean" from Houses of the
Holy.Light & Shade Cameron Crowe, Led Zeppelin Boxed Set liner notesDuring a convalescent period on the
Channel Island of Jersey and in Malibu, CaliforniaMalibu, California, Plant wrote some lyrics, and when guitarist
Jimmy Page joined him at Malibu, these compositions were fleshed out. The two prepared enough material for
rehearsals to begin at Hollywood's SIR Studio, where drummer John Bonham and bass player John Paul Jones
(musician)John Paul Jones joined them. After a month of rehearsals, the album was recorded in just 18 daysLiner
notes by Cameron Crowe for The Song Remains the Same (album)The Song Remains the Same, reissued version,
2007. at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, with Plant in a wheelchair. This was the fastest recording
turnaround time achieved by the band since their Led Zeppelin (album)dbut album. The rushed recording sessions
were in part a result of Led Zeppelin having booked the studio immediately prior to The Rolling Stones, who were
shortly to record songs for their album Black and Blue. Upon their arrival, the Rolling Stones were amazed that Led
Zeppelin's album had indeed been completed (both recorded and mixed) in a mere 18 days. Jimmy Page had simply
stayed awake for two days straight to perform all of the guitar overdubs. As he later explained:I just had to lay it
down, more or less: first track ... second track - you know, really fast working on that. And all the guitar overdubs on
Presence were done in one night. But I didn't think I would be able to do it in one night, I thought I'd have to do it
across maybe three different nights to get the individual sections. Everything sort of crystallised and you'll notice
everything was just pouring out. I was very happy with the guitar playing on that whole album, you know as far as
the maturity of playing goes.A to Zeppelin: The Story of Led Zeppelin, Passport Video, 2004.In an interview he
gave to Guitar World magazine in 1998, Page stated that he worked an average of 18 to 20 hours per day during the
mixing period at Musicland Studios:[A]fter the band finished recording all its parts, me and the audio
engineerengineer, Keith Harwood, just started mixing until we would fall asleep. Then whoever would wake up first
108
Presence
would call the other and we'd go back in and continue to work until we passed out again.Brad Tolinski and Greg Di
Bendetto, "Light and Shade", Guitar World, January 1998.The recording sessions for Presence were also particularly
challenging for Plant. The studio was in a basement of an old hotel, and the singer felt claustrophobic.Chris Welch
(1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books. ISBN 0-85797-930-3, pp. 79-81. He also experienced physical
difficulties as a result of his car accident, and missed his family. He later explained:I spent the whole process in a
wheelchair, so physically I was really frustrated. I think my vocal performance on it is pretty poor. It sounds tired
and strained. The saving grace of the album was "Candy Store Rock" and "Achilles Last Stand". The rhythm section
on that it was so inspired ... I was furious with Page and [band manager] Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant. I
was just furious that I couldn't get back to the woman and the children that I loved. And I was thinking, is all this
rock'n'roll worth anything at all?The album was completed on 26 November 1975. This was the day before
Thanksgiving, and in a telephone call to Swan Song Records, Page suggested the album be named Thanksgiving.
This idea was quickly dropped, in favour of a title that was thought would represent the powerful force and presence
that the band members felt surrounded the group.Composition Six of the seven songs on the album are Page and
Plant compositions; the remaining song being credited to all four band members. This can be explained by the fact
that the majority of the songs were formulated at Malibu, where Page (but not Bonham and Jones) had initially
joined a recuperating Plant. With Plant at less than full fitness, Page took responsibility for the album's completion,
and his playing dominates the album's tracks.Both Page and Plant had planned this album's recording session as a
return to hard rock, much like their debut album, except at a new level of complexity. It marked a change in the Led
Zeppelin sound towards more straightforward, guitar-based jams. Whereas their previous albums contain electric
hard rock anthems balanced with acoustic ballads and intricate arrangements, Presence was seen to include more
simplified riffs, and is Led Zeppelin's only studio album that features neither acoustic tracks nor keyboards (almost
buried in the mix, a lone acoustic guitar can be heard on "Candy Store Rock").The changed stylistic emphasis on this
album was a direct result of the troubled circumstances experienced by the band around the time of its recording. As
Page said at the time: I think it was just a reflection of the total anxiety and emotion of that period. There's a hell of a
lot of spontaneity about that album. We went in with virtually nothing and everything just came pouring out.Plant
expressed similar views, stating: It was really like a cry of survival. There won't be another album like it, put it like
that. It was a cry from the depths, the only thing that we could do.Gilmore, Mikal (10 August 2006). "The Long
Shadow of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone (1006). . Retrieved 9 December 2007.In contrast to earlier albums that
contained several tracks that the band chose to play live at Led Zeppelin concerts, only two tracks from Presence
were played in full on stage while the band was active. "Achilles Last Stand" and "Nobody's Fault but Mine" were
added to the setlist for the Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19771977 tour of the United States and stayed
through the band's final Tour Over Europe 1980concerts in 1980. Some of the guitar solo from "Tea for One" was
also incorporated into "Since I've Been Loving You" in these shows, but the actual song was never performed live
until the Page and Plant tour of Japan in 1996, where it received three airings backed by an orchestra. "For Your
Life" was played in full by Led Zeppelin for the first time at the Ahmet Ertegn Tribute Concert on 10 December
2007.The lack of live interpretations of the Presence material is perhaps understandable given that it would be a full
year before they would return to the road.Album sleeve design The cover and inside sleeve of this album, created by
Hipgnosis, features various images of people interacting with a black obelisk-shaped object. Inside the album sleeve,
the item is referred to simply as "The Object." It was intended to represent the "force and presence" of Led Zeppelin.
In the liner notes of the first Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin (box set)boxed set, Jimmy Page explained: There was no
working title for the album. The record-jacket designer said `When I think of the group, I always think of power and
force. There's a definite presence there.' That was it. He wanted to call it 'Obelisk.' To me, it was more important
what was behind the obelisk. The cover is very tongue-in-cheek, to be quite honest. Sort of a joke on [the film] 2001:
A Space Odyssey (film)2001. I think it's quite amusing.The background used in the cover photograph is of an
artificial marina that was installed inside London's Earls Court Exhibition CentreEarl's Court Arena for the annual
Earl's Court Boat Show that was held in the winter of 19741975. This was the same venue where the band played a
Earl's Court 1975series of concerts a few months after the boat show, in May 1975. In 1977 Hipgnosis and George

having been delayed by the completion of the album sleeve. In Britain it attained one of the highest ever advance
orders, shipping gold on the day of release. In America it peaked at #1 on Billboard Music ChartsBillboard's Pop
Albums chart, leaping from #24 inside two weeks.The album's catalogue numbers were Swan Song SS 8416 in the
U.S. and Swan Song SSK59402 in the UK, before being changed to 92439-2 for the remastered release. However,
this album has not been one of the band's biggest sellers, and it received lukewarm reviews upon its release.Erlewine,
Stephen Thomas. "Led Zeppelin Biography". Allmusic. . Retrieved 11 November 2008. In late 1976 the album was
also overshadowed by the release of the band's movie and soundtrack The Song Remains the Same (film)The Song
Remains the Same.According to Dave Lewis, "the direct-hard hitting nature of the seven recordings failed to connect
with a fan base more accustomed to the diversity and experimental edge of their previous work.Dave Lewis (2003),
Led Zeppelin: Celebration II: The 'Tight But Loose' Files, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 1-84449-056-4, p. 45.
Page later acknowledged that, because the album conveys a sense of urgency resulting from the troubled
circumstances in which it was recorded, "it's not an easy album for a lot of people to access ... [I]t's not an easy
album for a lot of people to listen to."Nigel Williamson, "Forget the Myths", Uncut (magazine)Uncut, May 2005, p.
72.However, despite its initially subdued reception, Lewis considers that Presencehas become a much underrated
element of their catalogue. The basic drums-bass-guitars formula may lack the diversity of previous Zeppelin sets,
but in terms of sheer energy, 'Presence' packs a considerable punch, and has emerged as one of their most potent
performances ... This album is also a triumph for Jimmy Page. His production and dominant guitar style has an
urgency and passion that reflects the troubled period that the group were going through at the time. 'Presence' is Led
Zeppelin with their backs against the wall.Track listingSide oneNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Achilles Last Stand"

the eighth studio album by the English Rock musicrock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded over a three week period
in November and December 1978 at ABBA's Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, and released by Swan Song
Records on 15 August 1979. In Through the Out Door was the band's sixth and final release to reach the top of the
charts in America, and was the last released by the band before the death of drummer John Bonham in
1980.BackgroundThe album was named by the group to describe its recent struggles amidst the death of Robert
Plant's son Karac in 1977, and the tax exiletaxation exile the band took from the UK as a result of the Harold Wilson
and James Callaghan administrations, which also adversely affected other major British bands of the time, such as
The Rolling Stones. The exile resulted in the band being unable to tour on British soil for over two years, and trying
to get back into the public mind was therefore like "trying to get in through the 'out' door."Dave Lewis (2003), Led
Zeppelin: Celebration II: The 'Tight But Loose' Files, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 1-84449-056-4, pp. 49, 63,
80.In contrast to previous Led Zeppelin albums, In Through the Out Door features much greater influence on the part
of bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant, and relatively less
from drummer John Bonham and guitarist Jimmy Page. Two songs from the album"South Bound Saurez" [sic]
and "All My Love (song)All My Love"were the only two original Led Zeppelin songs that Jimmy Page had no
part in writing. With the exception of "Darlene (song)Darlene," a Boogie-Woogie based song credited to all band
members (which was eventually released on the 1982 album, Coda (album)Coda), Bonham did not receive writing
credits for any of the songs recorded at Polar Studios. This diminished input by Page and Bonham is attributed to the
two band members often not showing up on time at the recording studio, with Bonham struggling with alcoholism
and Page battling heroin Substance dependenceaddiction.Aizelwood, John, "Closing Time", Q Magazine Special Led
Zeppelin edition, 2003, p. 94. As Jones said, "there were two distinct camps by then, and we [myself and Plant] were
in the relatively clean one."Gilmore, Mikal (10 August 2006). "The Long Shadow of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone
(1006). . Retrieved 2007-12-09.Many of the songs were consequently put together by Plant and Jones during the day,
with Page and Bonham adding their parts late at night.Snow, Mat, The Secret Life of a Superstar, Mojo magazine,
December 2007. According to Jones, this was mainly because I had a new toy. I had this big new keyboard. And
Robert and I just got to rehearsals early, basically... So Robert and I, by the time everybody turned up for rehearsals,
wed written three or four songs. So we started rehearsing those immediately, because they were something to be
112

getting on with.David Cavanagh, " Interview with John Paul Jones", Uncut (magazine)Uncut.Following the
recording sessions at Polar Studios, the album was mixed at Page's personal studio at his home in Plumpton.
"Wearing and Tearing", "Ozone Baby" and "Darlene (song)Darlene" were recorded during sessions for this album,
but were dropped due to space constraints. All later appeared on Coda.Album sleeve designThe original album
featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag,
and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with water, would become permanently
fully coloured. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on each side; see images
at right), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible for record buyers to tell which sleeve they
were getting. (There is actually a code on the spine of the album jacket, which indicated which sleeve it wasthis
could sometimes be seen while the record was still sealed.) The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in
which a man burns a Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone who
appeared in the other photos. The bar is the Absinthe Bar, located at 400 Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA. The
walls are covered with thousands of yellowed business cards and dollar bills. It was re-created in a London studio for
the album sleeve design. The album artwork was designed by Hipgnosis. Storm Thorgerson recalls the design in his
book Eye of the Storm:The sepia quality was meant to evoke a non-specific past and to allow the brushstroke across
the middle to be better rendered in colour and so make a contrast. This self same brushstroke was like the swish of a
wiper across a wet windscreen, like a lick of fresh paint across a faded surface, a new look to an old scene, which
was what Led Zeppelin told us about their album. A lick of fresh paint, as per Led Zeppelin, and the music on this
album... It somehow grew in proportion and became six viewpoints of the same man in the bar, seen by the six other
characters. Six different versions of the same image and six different covers.Storm ThorgersonThorgerson, Storm
(1999). Eye of the Storm: The Album Graphics of Storm Thorgerson. pp.34, 35. ISBN978-1860742590.Did you
ever notice you could affect the dust jacket by putting water on it? If you applied spittle to it or a bit of water, it
would change color, like a children's coloring book we based it on. But we didn't tell anybody. I don't think Zeppelin
told anybody, either.Alan di Perna, Guitar World Presents Pink Floyd, pg. 104, Hal Leonard Corporation 2002,
ISBN 0634032860In 1980, Hipgnosis was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Grammy Award for
Best Recording Packagebest album package for In Through the Out Door. "Grammy Award for Best Album Package
(Hipgnosis) - 27 February 1980". Grammy. . Retrieved 2009-02-10.Release and critical reactionThe album was
intended to be released prior to the band's twin Knebworth Festival 1979concerts at Knebworth in 1979, but
production delays meant that it was released shortly after their performances at this event. Plant jokingly referred to
the delays at times during the performance on August 4. Despite receiving poor reviews,Chris Welch (1994) Led
Zeppelin, London: Orion Books. ISBN 0-85797-930-3, pp. 89-90. the album went to #1 on Billboard
(magazine)Billboard's chart in its second week on the chart. On this album's release, Led Zeppelin's entire catalogue
made the Billboard 200Billboard 200 between the weeks of 23 October and 3 November 1979, an unprecedented
feat. The album remained on the US top spot for seven weeks and sold three million copies by the end of September
1979. It is also the Led Zeppelin album that has been most weeks on the top of the charts (tied along with Led
Zeppelin II). To date, the album has sold six million copies in the US.Following its release, Plant, Page and Bonham
all expressed reservations about the album. In 1990 Plant stated: In Through The Out Door wasn't the greatest thing
in the world, but at least we were trying to vary what we were doing, for our own integrity's sake. Of all the [Led
Zeppelin] records, it's interesting but a bit sanitised because we hadn't been in the clamour and chaos for a long time.
In '77, when I lost my boy, I didn't really want to go swinging around - 'Hey hey mama say the way you move' didn't
really have a great deal of import any more. In Through The Out Door is more conscientious and less animal.Mat
Snow, Apocalypse Then, Q (magazine)Q magazine, December 1990, p. 82.Similarly, in an interview he gave to
Guitar World magazine in 1998, Page stated that he and Bonham:... both felt that In Through the Out Door was a
little soft. I wasn't really keen on "All My Love (song)All My Love". I was a little worried about the chorus. I could
just imagine people doing the wave and all of that. And I thought, that's not us. That's not us. In its place it was fine,
but I wouldn't have wanted to pursue that direction in the future.Brad Tolinski and Greg Di Bendetto, "Light and
Shade", Guitar World, January 1998.Years later, Page elaborated that "we wanted, after In Through the Out Door, to
113

make something hard-hitting and riff-based again. Of course, we never got to make that album."Charles Shaar
Murray, The Guvnors', Mojo magazineMojo, August 2004, p. 75. He is also quoted as saying "It wasn't the most
comfortable album. I think it was very transitional... a springboard for what could have been.Liner notes for the Led

ReviewLed Zeppelin chronologyIn Through the Out Door(1979)Coda(1982) Coda is the ninth and final studio
albumWhile some external sources categorise Coda as a compilation album, Led Zeppelin's official album label,
Atlantic Records, categorises it as studio album. See for example the liner notes for the Led Zeppelin Box Set, Vol. 2
and the label attached to the The Complete Studio Recordings (Led Zeppelin album)Complete Studio Recordings
boxed set. by English rock musicrock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1982. This collection of outtakes from various
sessions during Led Zeppelin's twelve-year career was released two years after the group had officially disbanded
following the death of drummer John Bonham. The word Coda (music)coda, meaning a passage that ends a musical
piece following the main body, was therefore chosen as a title.Overview Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy
Page explained that part of the reasoning for the album's release related to the popularity of Led Zeppelin bootleg
recordingsunofficial Led Zeppelin recordings which continued to be circulated by fans: Coda was released, basically,
because there was so much Bootleg recordingsbootleg stuff out. We thought, "Well, if there's that much interest, then
we may as well put the rest of our studio stuff out".Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul
Jones recalled: They were good tracks. A lot of it was recorded around the time punk was really happening...
basically there wasn't a lot of Zeppelin tracks that didn't go out. We used everything.Liner notes for the Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin (box set)boxed set.According to the Led Zeppelin biography Hammer of the Gods (book)Hammer of
the Gods, the band also owed Atlantic Records one more album from the five album deal that created Swan Song
Records in 1974. As such, Coda can be seen as a contractual fulfillment."We're Gonna Groove" opens the album
and, according to the album notes, was recorded at Morgan Studios in June, 1969. It was later acknowledged to have
come from a January, 1970 concert at the Royal Albert Hall, with the guitar parts overdubbed and the original guitar
part removedthis can be heard in the original Royal Albert Hall show on 9 January 1970. "Poor Tom" is from
sessions for Led Zeppelin III, having been recorded at Olympic Studios in June 1970."I Can't Quit You Baby" is
taken from the same concert as "We're Gonna Groove" but was listed as a rehearsal in the original liner notes. The
recording was edited to remove overall "live" feel: the crowd noise as well as the beginning and ending of the song
were deleted. Crowd tracks were muted on the multitrack mixdown on this recording as with "We're Gonna Groove".

Same(1976)BBC Sessions (Led Zeppelin album)BBC Sessions(1997) The Song Remains the Same is the soundtrack
live album of the The Song Remains the Same (film)concert film of the same name by the English rock band Led
Zeppelin. The album was originally released in 1976, before being remastered and re-issued in 2007.Overview The
recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square
Garden, during the band's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19731973 concert tour of the United States. All songs
were recorded by Eddie Kramer using the Wally Heider Mobile Studio truck, and later mixed at Electric Lady
Studios in New York and Trident Studios in London. The album was released on 28 September 1976, by Swan Song
Records. The sleeve design depicted a dilapidated movie house located on Old Street film studios in London, which
was used by the group for rehearsals prior to their 1973 tour. Until both the album and the film were remastered and
re-released in 2007, there were significant differences between the two in terms of the songs included on each. These
differences were as follows: The film included "Black Dog (song)Black Dog", but not "Celebration Day". The
soundtrack album included "Celebration Day", but not "Black Dog". The film also included "Since I've Been Loving
You", the introduction to "Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)Heartbreaker", the instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur
(instrumental)Bron-Yr-Aur" (which appeared on Physical Graffiti) and a hurdy gurdy piece called "Autumn Lake",
none of which were featured on the album.In addition, of the songs that both the album and the film had in common,
some of the recordings featured on the album were of different performances from those in the film. Other tracks
which were recorded at Madison Square Garden, but omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album, included
"The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)The Ocean" and "Misty Mountain Hop". A comprehensive analysis of the sources
of the original album and the edits is available at The Garden Tapes. 2007 reissueThe Song Remains The Same
soundtrack album was reissued on CD on November 20, 2007, with the surviving band members having overseen the
remixing and remastering of the original release. This coincided with the re-issue of the film, available on DVD. The
new version of the soundtrack included six songs that were not on the original album release: "Black Dog
(song)Black Dog", "Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin song)Over the Hills and Far Away", "Misty
Mountain Hop", "Since I've Been Loving You", "The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)The Ocean" and "Heartbreaker
(Led Zeppelin song)Heartbreaker", plus new liner notes by Cameron Crowe.With the 2007 re-release of both the
album and film, the songs were synchronized so that the full set-list from the concerts was available on both, with
each song mixed the same way (the only exceptions being "Bron-Yr-Aur" and "Autumn Lake", both of which
continued to be absent from the album). Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page explained: We have
revisited The Song Remains The Same and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden.

This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of
Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How the West Was Won (Led Zeppelin album)How The West Was Won.
"Led Zeppelin postpones reunion show", liveDaily.com, November 2, 2007.Due to legal complications, the band
decided not to change the video portion of the original movie for the re-release.Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for
The Song Remains the Same, reissued version, 2007. Instead, Shirley created an entirely new mix of the three 1973
Madison Square Garden concerts so that the audio portion of the film would better match the on-screen visuals. The
audio on the new CD release was nearly identical to the soundtrack of the new DVD release. One difference was that
the songs included on the CDs that were not featured in the original movie were included as bonus tracks on the
DVD. Kevin Shirley Talks about Revisiting Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The SameThe audio mixes also
differed from those found on the 2003 Led Zeppelin DVD. The most obvious example is that "Black Dog" was two
minutes longer on the 2003 DVD than on the 2007 releases.On 29 July 2008, a four-LP edition of the 2007 re-issue,
on 180gram audiophile vinyl, was released. It was presented in a deluxe archival two-piece box with foil-stamping.
It includes a 12-page oversized full-color booklet with dozens of previously unpublished stills from the film, as well
as four individual jackets with new and unique artwork. A special white vinyl edition was also printed in very
limited numbers. Just 200 were produced, with only 100 being made available to the public from Led Zeppelin's
official website. Critical receptionUpon its initial release in 1976, the album received some poor reviews, with some
critics considering it to be over-produced and lumbering.Chris Welch (1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books.
ISBN 0-85797-930-3, p. 68. Indeed, the band's members themselves have since expressed a lack of fondness for the
recording. Page has admitted that the end product was hardly the best representation of Led Zeppelin as a live band:
Obviously we were committed to putting this album out, although it wasn't necessarily the best live stuff we have. I
don't look upon it as a live album...it's essentially a soundtrack.Dave Lewis and Simon Pallett (1997) Led Zeppelin:
The Concert File, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p. 116.In an interview he gave to rock journalist
Cameron Crowe, Page elaborated: As far as Led Zeppelin's studio recordings went, every single one of them has a
certain ambiance, certain atmospherics that made them special. When it came to the live shows, we were always
trying to move things forward and we certainly weren't happy leaving them as they were. The songs were always in a
state of change. On [The] Song Remains the Same you can hear the urgency and not much else. The live shows were
an extension of the albums.Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The Complete Studio Recordings (Led Zeppelin
album)The Complete Studio Recordings.In contrast, the 2007 reissued version received generally much more
positive reviews. In a review published in Mojo (magazine)Mojo magazine in December 2007 James McNair gave
the album four out of five stars,McNair, James, "Vanity Fair!", Mojo magazine, December 2007, p. 83. as did David
Cavanagh in Uncut (magazine)Uncut magazine, who wrote:... The sound is vastly improved, as is the playing of the
musicians (due to digital re-editing of the three MSG concerts, presumably). Not so much remastered as
reconstructed, the 15 tracks (six previously unreleased) showboat, strut and snarl.Cavanagh, David. " Review of Led
Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same" Uncut Magazine.However, disappointment with the 2007 reissue has been
expressed by some fans due to the deletion of some sequences from the original release. Notable among these was a
drum and organ sequence by John Bonham and John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones in "No Quarter (song)No
Quarter", which was completely cut from the reissue. Track listingOriginal releaseSide one "Rock and Roll (Led

BBC Sessions is a compilation album featuring studio sessions and a live concert recorded by EnglandEnglish rock
group Led Zeppelin for the BBC. It was released on 11 November 1997, by Atlantic Records. This was the first
release of new Led Zeppelin material in 15 years. Disc 1 consists of material from four different 1969 BBC sessions.
Disc 2 contains most of the 1 April 1971 concert from the Paris Theatre in London.Lewis, Dave (2003). "Led
Zeppelin at the BBC". Led Zeppelin: The 'Tight but Loose' Files': Celebration II (1st ed.). London: Omnibus Press.
p.8. ISBN1-84449-056-4. Disc 3 was only included in a limited run of album releases and features rare interviews
from 1969, 1976/1977, and 1990.Countless Led Zeppelin bootleg recordingsbootlegs of these recordings circulated
for years before the official release. This release was widely welcomed by Led Zeppelin fans as the first live release
since The Song Remains the Same (album)The Song Remains the Same in 1976. Others have criticized the decision
to edit some of the songs and drop others that were recorded for the BBC. Most notable are one session from 1969
which included the unreleased song "Sunshine Woman," and about 7 minutes of the "Whole Lotta Love" medley
from 1971.Lewis, Dave (2004). "BBC Sessions". Led Zeppelin: The Complete Guide to Their Music (1st ed.).

Jimmy Page considers Led Zeppelin at this point to have been at their artistic peak, as is mentioned in the album's
liner notes. In an interview he gave to The Times newspaper in 2010, when asked which performances from Led
Zeppelin's career stand out to him now, he made reference to these gigs:I think what we did on ... How the West was
Won that 1972 gig is pretty much a testament of how good it was. It would have been nice to have had a little
more visual recordings, but there you go. Thats the conundrum of Led Zeppelin!James Jackson, " Jimmy Page on

these two shows only circulated in the form of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordingsbootlegs, and even then only certain
audience recordings were available to fans and collectors (for example, Burn Like a Candle). Though several Mixing
consolesoundboard recordings of Led Zeppelin concerts were circulated amongst fans after having been stolen from
Page's personal archive some time in the 1980s, no soundboards of the 1972 Long Beach or LA Forum shows were
taken, meaning the release of How the West Was Won was the first chance fans had of hearing the soundboard
versions of these concerts.Lewis, Dave (2003). Led Zeppelin: The 'Tight but Loose' Files: Celebration II (1st ed.).
London: Omnibus Press. p.156. ISBN1-84449-056-4.The songs from the two shows underwent some extensive
editing and audio engineering by Page at Sarm West Studios in London before being released on the album. A
comprehensive analysis of live tracks edits for the album can be found at The Garden Tapes. Some songs which
were played at the concerts, such as "Communication Breakdown", "Tangerine (Led Zeppelin song)Tangerine",
"Thank You (Led Zeppelin song)Thank You" and a rare version of "Louie Louie" from the 25 June show, were left

Set(1990)Profiled(1990) Boxed Set, released on 7 September 1990 is a box setboxed set of the EnglandEnglish rock
group Led Zeppelin's popular songs digitally remastered, on six vinyl albums, four compact discs, and four cassette
formats. Compilation and remastering of the tracks took place in New York during early-to-mid 1990. A 30-page
booklet was included for the vinyl and CD releases.This boxed set contains two previously-unreleased tracks and a
new mix. "Travelling Riverside Blues" was recorded on 24 June 1969 at the BBC Maida Vale Studio. "White
Summer" was recorded at the Playhouse Theatre, London on 27 June 1969. The "Moby Dick"/"Bonzo's Montreux"
mix took place at the Atlantic Synclavier Suite in New York, in May 1990. To differentiate this release from the
future Led Zeppelin RemastersRemasters box sets, some world recording industry associations have listed this under
the title The Complete Collection (not to be confused with the later 1993 release The Complete Studio Recordings
(Led Zeppelin album)The Complete Studio Recordings).In an interview he gave in January 2010, Page made
reference to the Boxed Set: Oh, I'm now fully aware of the mark Led Zeppelin made on the musical landscape. My
awareness was re-heightened when we were remastering the material to do that CD box set in 1990. When you hear
it all, song after song, you realise what a textbook it is for musicians who are coming along, and that's so great. The
whole thing is about passing it on, because that's how it was done for me when I was learning from all those old
blues and rockabilly records. It's all part of how this cultural phenomenon keeps moving on. I think everyone carries
the flame on.Jonathan Wingate, Interview: Guitarist Jimmy Page, Scotsman.com, 5 January 2010.Track listingSide

Zeppelin Remasters(1990)Led Zeppelin Boxed Set 2(1993) Led Zeppelin Remasters is a 3-LP (or 2-cassette or
2-CD) compilation album of remastered material by EnglandEnglish rock group Led Zeppelin. It was initially
released in the UK and Japan by Atlantic Records on 15 October 1990. The album is essentially a scaled-down
version of the 4-CD Led Zeppelin (box set)Led Zeppelin boxed set.This compilation set came about as a result of the
initially rushed conversion of Led Zeppelin's album to the compact disc format in the late 1980s. Led Zeppelin were
among the first rock bands to be re-issued on CD, but such was the haste to capitalise on the new format that the new
CDs were derived not from re-equalised master tapes, but from sound-generation tapes that had been equalised for
the original vinyl platters.Mat Snow, Apocalypse Then, Q (magazine)Q magazine, December 1990, p. 74. For this
1990 reissue, Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page himself supervised the mastering process, which was
based on Led Zeppelin's archive of master tapes. Track listing1990 vinyl edition Side

setAppearance The sleeve that holds the two CDs is made of cardstock. The cover of the sleeve is mainly occupied
by the same photo that there is on the cover of Early Days. It features the members of Led Zeppelin in late Apollo
mission astronaut suits in front of a starry background and a Led Zeppelin logo. The logo behind them shows many
space-related images, but the only one wholly visible is the image of the moon's face with a space capsule stuck in its
eye taken from the early silent movie A Trip to the Moon.On the back of the sleeve is an array of information split
up into two columns. On the left column, there is a photograph of the cover of Latter Days. It features the same
astronaut suits, but the photos were taken later and so the members of Led Zeppelin are older. In the logo is an image
of Saturn and behind all of the foreground is an image of Earth taken from space. Below that is the information about
Atlantic. On the right column is a synopsis of the tracks on both discs. Early Days DiscEarly Days is packaged in a
plastic jewel compact disc case. Much of the background is a drawing of stars, yet inside the case and behind the CD
is an image of an artist's rendition of a supernova, apparently airbrushed. On the backside of the case is a list of the
tracks. The background of the back cover appears to be a slightly out-of-focus photograph, likely taken by an
amateur photographer.The Early Days liner notes begin with the cover. On the cover is the same image that appears
on the foreground of the sleeve. Inside the booklet is first a summary of the tracks, and then photos of the band
ranging from 1969 to 1973. Then after that is a list of their albums, and the back page is a list of the band members,
design and artwork credits, and information about the Enhanced CD capabilities on Early Days.Latter Days
DiscLatter Days is comprised much like that of Early Days. The four band members are pictured in the same Apollo
space suits in the same order, but they are older. Much of the background is of Earth as viewed from orbit. There is a
picture of Saturn in place of the picture of the moon with the ship in its eye. Behind the CD is an image of the Eagle
Nebula.The liner notes are just like those of Early Days, except for the fact that the images range from the years
1972 to 1979.Enhanced CDBoth the Early Days CD and the Latter Days CD are enhanced so they can play extra
content on a computer. On Early Days, a music video of the song "Communication Breakdown" is included. On
Latter Days, a video of the song "Kashmir" is included.References

"Good Times Bad Times" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured as the opening track on their 1969
debut album Led Zeppelin.
For the lead guitar solo, guitarist Jimmy Page passed his Fender Telecaster guitar through a Leslie speaker to create a
swirling effect.[1] [2] This type of speaker contains a rotating paddle and was designed for a Hammond organ.
However, guitars could be used with it. George Harrison and Eric Clapton employed this technique on the Cream
song "Badge", and Harrison used it in several of The Beatles' recordings.[3] In an interview he gave to Guitar World
magazine in 1993, Page explained that:
I do remember using the board to overdrive a Leslie cabinet for the main riff in "How Many More Times". It
doesn't sound like a Leslie because I wasn't employing the rotating speakers. Surprisingly, that sound has real
weight. The guitar is going through the board, then through an amp which was driving the Leslie cabinet. It
was a very successful experiment.[4]
Page, also the band's producer, placed microphones all over the recording studio to capture a live sound when this
song was recorded.
This song is also notable for drummer John Bonham's repeated use of a series of two sixteenth-note triplets on a
single bass drum, an effect many subsequent rock drummers have imitated, and as well as keeping the hi-hat playing
quarter notes throughout almost the entire song with his left foot. Bonham had reportedly developed this technique
after listening to Vanilla Fudge. He was unaware that drummer Carmine Appice was actually playing on a double
bass set. As Page has stated:
The most stunning thing about the track, of course, is Bonzo's amazing kick drum. It's superhuman when you
realize he was not playing with double kick. That's one kick drum! That's when people started understanding
what he was all about.[4]
Bass guitarist player John Paul Jones has also remarked on his own contribution to the track:
Usually anything [by Led Zeppelin] with lots of notes was mine and anything with chunky chords was Page's.
Things like "Good Times Bad Times", those are my sort of riffs, they're quite busy.[5]
Jones says that the riff he wrote for this song was the most difficult one he ever wrote.[6]
"Good Times Bad Times" was rarely played live at Led Zeppelin concerts in its entirety. In a few instances in 1969 it
was used as an introduction to "Communication Breakdown". It also appeared in almost complete form within the
"Communication Breakdown" medley performed at the LA Forum on 4 September 1970, where it included a bass
solo by Jones (as can be heard on the Led Zeppelin bootleg recording Live on Blueberry Hill), and several Whole
Lotta Love medleys in 1971. It was also the opening song for Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London
on 10 December 2007.
The TV & Radio presenter Fearne Cotton has said that this is her favourite song of all time.
The song is played in the film, The Fighter. This is one of the rare occasions where the band's songs are used in
films.

"Communication Breakdown" is a song by the English rock band, Led Zeppelin, from their 1969 debut album Led
Zeppelin.
Structure
The pounding guitar riff was played by Page through a small, miked Supro amplifier throughout; and ran his Fender
Telecaster through a fully closed Vox wah pedal to create the "guitar in a shoebox" sound on the lead.
"Communication Breakdown" is also one of the few songs that Page sang a backing vocal on.
Live history
The song was a popular live number at Led Zeppelin concerts, and was the only song to be played during every year
that the band toured. It usually either opened shows or was played as an encore.
"Communication Breakdown" was the last song performed in the year of 1975 and 1979 for the band at Earls Court
on 25 May 1975 and Knebworth on 11 August 1979.
Recordings
In the US, the track was released as the B-side of the single "Good Times Bad Times".
On the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions, released in 1997, this song was featured three times, each with a slightly
different improvisation by the musicians. Three live versions taken from performances at the TV program Tous En
Scene in Paris in 1969, at Danmarks Radio in 1969 and at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 can also be seen on the Led
Zeppelin DVD. "Communication Breakdown" is also one of the few Zeppelin songs in which the group did a proper
lip-sync video for which is also available on the Led Zeppelin DVD.
Legacy
Dictators bassist Andy Shernoff states that Page's sped up, downstroke guitar riff in "Communication Breakdown"
was an inspiration for The Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone's downstroke guitar style.[3] Ramone stated in the
documentary "Ramones:The True Story", he improved at his down-stroke picking style by playing the song over and
over again for the bulk of his early career.[4]
The song is noted for its usage in motion pictures, particularly in a military environment. In episode 1805 of The
Simpsons, during a scene which shows military recruitment, a group of soldiers play the guitar riff of
"Communication Breakdown".[5] The song was also used on the soundtrack to the film Small Soldiers.[6]
"Communication Breakdown" was featured on Blender's 2003 list of "The 1,001 Greatest Songs to Download Right
Now!".[7]

"Whole Lotta Love" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is featured as the opening track on the band's
second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released in the United States and Japan as a single. The US release became
their first hit single, it was certified Gold on 13 April 1970, when it sold one million copies.[1] As with other Led
Zeppelin songs, no single was released in the United Kingdom, but singles were released in Germany (where it
reached number one), the Netherlands (where it reached number four), Belgium and France.
In 2004, the song was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and
in March 2005, Q magazine placed "Whole Lotta Love" at number three in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
It was placed 11 on a similar list by Rolling Stone. In 2009 it was named the third greatest hard rock song of all time
by VH1.[2]
"Whole Lotta Love" was recorded at Olympic Studios in London and mixed at A&R Studios in New York. Already
part of their live repertoire, it saw its first official release on the LP Led Zeppelin II on 22 October 1969 (Atlantic LP
#8236).
Influences
In 1962, Muddy Waters recorded "You Need Love" written for him by peer Willie Dixon. In 1966 British mod band
the Small Faces recorded the song as "You Need Loving" for their eponymous dbut Decca LP. Some of the lyrics of
Led Zeppelin's version were copied from the Willie Dixon song, a favourite of Plant's. Plant's phrasing is particularly
similar to that of Steve Marriott's in the Small Faces' version. Similarities with "You Need Love" would lead to a
lawsuit against Led Zeppelin, settled out of court in favour of Dixon in 1985.[3] The Small Faces were never sued by
Dixon, even though "You Need Loving" still only credits Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott.
Robert Plant, a huge fan of blues and soul singers, regularly quoted other songs, especially live.
Page's riff was Page's riff. It was there before anything else. I just thought, 'well, what am I going to sing?'
That was it, a nick. Now happily paid for. At the time, there was a lot of conversation about what to do. It was
decided that it was so far away in time (it was in fact 7 years) and influence that...well, you only get caught
"Whole Lotta Love"

when you're successful. That's the game.[4]
- Robert Plant
Song construction
Page played the loose blues riff for the intro, on a Sunburst 1959 Les Paul Standard through a 100W Marshall
"Plexi" head amp with distortion from the EL34 output valves, which ascends into the first chorus. Then, beginning
at 1:24 (and lasting until 3:02) the song dissolves to a free jazz-like break involving a theremin solo and a drum solo
and the moans of Robert Plant (sometimes called the "orgasm section"). Plant did the vocals in one take. As audio
engineer Eddie Kramer has explained: "The famous Whole Lotta Love mix, where everything is going bananas, is a
combination of Jimmy and myself just flying around on a small console twiddling every knob known to man."
Kramer is also quoted as saying:
[A]t one point there was bleed-through of a previously recorded vocal in the recording of "Whole Lotta Love".
It was the middle part where Robert [Plant] screams "Wo-man. You need it." Since we couldn't re-record at
that point, I just threw some echo on it to see how it would sound and Jimmy [Page] said "Great! Just leave
it."[5]
Led Zeppelin's bass player John Paul Jones has stated that Page's famous riff probably emerged from a stage
improvisation during the band's playing of "Dazed and Confused".[6]
Alternatively, Jimmy Page has vehemently denied that the song originated onstage:
Interviewer: Is it true "Whole Lotta Love" was written onstage during a gig in America, when you were all
jamming on a Garnett Mimms song?
Page: No. No. Absolutely incorrect. No, it was put together when we were rehearsing some music for the
second album. I had a riff, everyone was at my house, and we kicked it from there. Never was it written during
a gig--where did you hear that?
Interviewer: I read it in a book.
Page (sarcastically): Oh, good. I hope it was that Rough Guide. That's the latest one, the most inaccurate.
They're all inaccurate, you know.[7]
In a separate interview, Page explained:
I had [the riff] worked out already before entering the studio. I had rehearsed it. And then all of that other
stuff, sonic wave sound and all that, I built it up in the studio, and put effects on it and things, treatments.[8]
For this track, Page employed the backwards echo production technique.[3]
Release
Upon release of the LP, radio stations looked for a track that would fit their on-air formats from the quickly
successful LP with the pulsing lead track "Whole Lotta Love" being the prime contender. However, because many
radio stations saw the freeform middle section as unfit to air they simply created their own edited versions. Atlantic
Records was quick to respond and in addition to the release of the regular single in the US (coupled with "Living
Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" from the same LP as the B-side) released a 3:10 version of the track with the
freeform section cut and an earlier fade-out on 7 November 1969. Both versions were released as Atlantic #45-2690.
The edited version was intended for radio station promotional release but some copies were apparently released
commercially in the US and are a collector's item for fans. The song was released as a single in the US, France,
Germany (as No 1), Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia (where it was also issued as an EP) and Japan
(countries where the band had less control). The edited version was withdrawn.
In the United Kingdom, Atlantic Records had expected to issue the edited version themselves, and pressed initial
copies for release on 5 December 1969. However, band manager Peter Grant was adamant that the band maintain a
158
"Whole Lotta Love"
159
"no-singles" approach to marketing their recorded music in the UK, and he halted the release. An official statement
from the band added that they had written a special number which they intended to be their first British single. This
never materialised, and despite much record company pressure, they declined to issue official singles in the UK
throughout their career.[3]
Several years later, Atlantic Records reissued "Whole Lotta Love" (with its original B-side "Living Loving Maid")
on its Oldies Series label (OS-13116) with a slight error. The edited 3:10 version was used for the reissue, but the
labels were printed with the unedited running time of 5:33.
In 1997 Atlantic Records released a CD-single edited (to 4:50 this time) from the original 1969 recording of the
song. This version charted in the UK where the band had maintained control over single releases during their
existence.
Chart success and live history

The single entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 22 November 1969. It remained on the chart for 15 weeks,
peaking at #4 and becoming the band's only top 10 single in the US. Live, the song debuted 26 April 1969. It was
described with details on the site [9]. When performed live, "Whole Lotta Love" also occasionally included segments
of other Led Zeppelin songs such as "I Can't Quit You Baby", "You Shook Me", "How Many More Times", "Your
Time Is Gonna Come", "Good Times Bad Times", "The Lemon Song", "The Crunge", "D'yer Mak'er", "Black Dog",
"Out on the Tiles" and "Ramble On". A famous show closer at Led Zeppelin concerts, it was since mid-1970
performed as a medley of blues and R&B covers favoured by the band. Many of these covers included classics by
Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley and John Lee Hooker
Live versions of "Whole Lotta Love" were released officially on the following titles:
The Song Remains the Same; 2xLP (28 September 1976; Swan Song #SS2-201; from a 1973 concert and movie
soundtrack)
Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions; 2xCD (11 November 1997; Atlantic #83061; from a 1971 concert)
How the West Was Won; 3xCD (27 May 2003; Atlantic #83587; from a 1972 concert)
Led Zeppelin; DVD (2003; from a 1979 and a 1970 concert)
"Whole Lotta Love" was the last song Led Zeppelin ever played live in their original lineup. It was however
performed again at the band's reunions at Live Aid in 1985 and at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in
1988, as well as at the Ahmet Ertegn Tribute Concert at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007, with Jason
Bonham sitting in on drums for his late father.

Cultural influence
The song has been widely covered by many artists. It was famous in the United Kingdom for having been the theme
music for the long-running television programme Top of the Pops during the 1970s and 1980s. It also featured in the
closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing on 24 August 2008, in a rewritten version with Jimmy
Page on guitar and Leona Lewis providing the vocals. Both Lewis and the organisers requested that some of the
lyrics be changed, notably "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love". Lewis felt that the line made little sense
coming from a female singer.[38]

"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.[1] In the original UK pressings of Led Zeppelin II it was
167
titled "Living Loving Wreck (She's a Woman)", with the "Wreck" replaced by "Maid" on US and later releases.
It is often noted that this is guitarist Jimmy Page's least favorite Led Zeppelin song, and was thus never performed in
concert.,[1] partially because it was written as album filler and partially because Jimmy Page's then-girlfriend
Charlotte Martin was offended by it. Even though the song was never performed, there was a single show in
Dsseldorf during which a short segment of the song was played right after the band's song "Heartbreaker" on March
12, 1970, as bootlegs from that date show attest.[1] It was also one of the few Led Zeppelin songs on which Page
sang backing vocals. Conversely, singer Robert Plant took a liking to the song, and played it on his 1990 solo tour.
For the recording of this track, Page played on a Vox 12-string guitar.[2]
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). Robert
Plant brought the song into his Manic Nirvana US solo tour set in 1990.

"Immigrant Song" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released as a single from their third
album, Led Zeppelin III, in 1970.
"Immigrant Song"
Overview
The song is famous for its distinctive, wailing cry from vocalist Robert Plant at the beginning of the song, and is
built around a repeating, staccato Jimmy Page/John Paul Jones/John Bonham riff in the key of F#. There is a very
faint count-off the beginning of the track with lots of hiss which appears on the album version, but is trimmed from
the single version. The hiss is feedback from an echo unit.[1]
"Immigrant Song" was written during Led Zeppelin's tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany in mid-1970. The opening
date of this tour took place in Reykjavk, Iceland, which inspired Plant to write the song. As he explained:
We weren't being pompous ... We did come from the land of the ice and snow. We were guests of the Icelandic
Government on a cultural mission. We were invited to play a concert in Reykjavik and the day before we
arrived all the civil servants went on strike and the gig was going to be cancelled. The university prepared a
concert hall for us and it was phenomenal. The response from the kids was remarkable and we had a great
time. "Immigrant Song" was about that trip and it was the opening track on the album that was intended to be
incredibly different.[2]
Just six days after Led Zeppelin's appearance in Reykjavik, the band performed the song for the first time on stage
during the Bath Festival.[3]
The song's lyrics are written from the perspective of Vikings rowing west from Scandinavia in search of new lands.
The lyrics make explicit reference to Viking conquests and the Old Norse religion (Fight the horde, sing and cry,
Valhalla, I am coming!). In a 1970 radio interview, Plant jokingly recalled:
We went to Iceland, and it made you think of Vikings and big ships... and John Bonham's stomach... and bang,
there it was - Immigrant Song![1]
"Immigrant Song" is one of Led Zeppelin's few single releases, having been released in November 1970 by their
record label, Atlantic Records, against the band's wishes. It reached #16 on the Billboard charts.[1] Its B side, "Hey
Hey What Can I Do", was otherwise unavailable before the release of the band's first boxed set in 1990. The single
was also mistakenly released in Japan with "Out on the Tiles" as the B-side rather than "Hey Hey What Can I Do."
That single is now a rare collectible.
First pressings of the U.S. single of the song have a quote from Aleister Crowley inscribed in dead wax by the
run-out groove: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."[4]
One of the lines from the song became part of Led Zeppelin lore. The line, "The hammer of the gods/will drive our
ships to new lands" prompted some people to start referring to Led Zeppelin's sound as the "Hammer of the Gods."
The phrase was used as the title of Stephen Davis' famous biography of the band, Hammer of the Gods: The Led
Zeppelin Saga. The lyrics also did much to inspire the classic heavy metal myth, of mighty Viking-esque figures on
an adventure, themes which have been adopted in the look and music of bands from Iron Maiden to Manowar.
"Immigrant Song" was used to open Led Zeppelin concerts from 1970 to 1972. On the second half of their 1972
concert tour of the United States, it was introduced by a short piece of music known as "LA Drone", designed to
heighten the sense of anticipation and expectation amongst the concert audience. By 1973, "Immigrant Song" was
occasionally being used as an encore, but was then removed from their live set.[1] Live versions of the song can be
heard on the Led Zeppelin albums How the West Was Won (featuring a performance at Long Beach Arena in 1972)
and the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions (a version from the Paris Theatre in London in 1971). When played live, Page
played a lengthy guitar solo, which was absent on the recorded Led Zeppelin III version.[1] "Immigrant Song" was
played as part of the 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Jeff Beck by both Page and Beck.

In the song, Page probably played his Gibson Les Paul 1959 with gold finish which he began to use in 1969 (prior he
played his 1964 Fender Telecaster given as a present by Jeff Beck) with Marshall or Vox Amplification. John Paul
Jones played his Fender Precision Bass.
Cultural influence
The song is commonly played by marching bands at high school and college football games. The song is also one of
the few Led Zeppelin songs to have been licensed for a film. For the 2003 film School of Rock, actor Jack Black
filmed himself on stage, along with thousands of screaming fans, begging Led Zeppelin to let them use "Immigrant
Song".[5] The song also appears, in a slightly changed version due to licensing reasons, in Shrek the Third, when
Snow White attacks the city gates, guarded by Huorns. She cries the characteristic war cry of Robert Plant, backed
by the riff, as in the beginning of the original song.[6]
"Immigrant Song" also appeared in the 1999 documentary about the 1972 Munich Olympic Games massacre, One
Day in September,[7] the trailers for the BBC1 drama series Life on Mars and during the Christmas 2010 episode of
Doctor Who Confidential. Starting from the 2007 season, the Minnesota Vikings play this song during their team
introductions and before kickoffs. During the 2007/8 football season, Brentford FC played this song immediately
before kick-off. Late professional wrestler Frank Goodish, better know by his ring name Bruiser Brody, used this
song as his entrance music, along with Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. In Japan, he had a cover of this song without
lyrics.
The Max Weinberg 7 played this song regularly during Late Night With Conan O'Brien. The song was placed over
an animation of kittens in Viking costumes on rathergood.com.
Comedian Denis Leary did a comedic cover of the song during his MTV Unplugged special in 1993. Vanilla Ice
used "Immigrant Song" as the basis for "Power", a rap metal song performed in concerts in 1999.[8] [9] An
instrumental version of the song was used in the opening credits of a 1973 martial arts film, Young Tiger, starring
Fei Meng and a young Jackie Chan.

"Hey Hey What Can I Do" is a song by the English rock group Led Zeppelin released in 1970 as the B-side of
"Immigrant Song" outside the United Kingdom. It is Led Zeppelin's only non-album track released during the band's
existence. It did however appear on the Atlantic Records UK various artists LP, The New Age of Atlantic, released in

1972. The song was first released on CD in October 1990 on the 4CD Led Zeppelin box set collection. In 1992,
"Immigrant Song"/"Hey Hey What Can I Do" was released as a "vinyl replica" CD single. In 1993, "Hey Hey What
Can I Do" was included on The Complete Studio Recordings 10 CD boxed set, as one of four bonus tracks on the
Coda disc. The song is not included on the individual version of Coda. In 2007 Led Zeppelin released the track
online along with the rest of their back catalogue. The song was also released as the B-side of the "Stairway to
Heaven" 7" 45 RPM picture disc.
Lyrics
The lyrics tell of a man's love for a woman who 'won't be true.' The first verse is a declaration of his love and his
desire to tell her that she is the only one for him. The second verse describes her infidelity and his jealousy and
frustration. In the third verse he comes to the conclusion that he must leave her 'where the guitars play,' a sentiment
reinforced by the vamp in which the lead singer, Robert Plant, is backed by the rest of the band repeating the two
lines 'Hey hey what can I do' and 'Oh no what can I say.'

Cover versions
Several bands have covered Led Zeppelin's song or played it live:
A live version of the song was performed and recorded by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and The Black
Crowes during their 2000 tour, and is featured on the album Live at the Greek.
The Hold Steady covered the song on a two song 7".
Hootie & the Blowfish recorded a version for the 1995 Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium. This version also
appears on their covers album Scattered, Smothered and Covered. The song has become a regular concert staple
for the band.
A Dread Zeppelin cover appeared on the band's first single, appropriately enough as a B-side to a cover of
"Immigrant Song".
The song is one of the handful of Led Zeppelin covers which Robert Plant sang on his live shows in USA and
Europe with Alison Krauss during April and May 2008, and it was usually greeted with a very enthusastic
audience response. The song was dropped from the setlist later in the tour.
Weinland, recently recorded the song for the Zeppelin tribute From the Land of Ice and Snow which was released
on Jealous Butcher in 2010. This tribute also features tracks from M. Ward, Laura Veirs, The Long Winters, and
Chris Walla. Weinland's version of "Hey Hey What Can I Do" earned national recognition on NPR's All Songs
Considered.

"Black Dog" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, which is featured as the lead-off track of their fourth
album, released in 1971. It was also released as a single in the United States and Australia with "Misty Mountain
Hop" on the B-side, and reached #15 on Billboard and #11 in Australia.
"Black Dog"
In 2004 the song was ranked #294 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Music sociologist
Deena Weinstein argues, "Black Dog" is "one of the most instantly recognisable [Led] Zeppelin tracks".[1]
Inspiration and recording

Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones, who is credited with writing the main riff,[2] [3] wanted to write a song
that people could not "groove" or dance to with its winding riff and complex rhythm changes.
In an interview, Jones explained the difficulties experienced by the band in writing the song:
I wanted to try an electric blues with a rolling bass part. But it couldn't be too simple. I wanted it to turn back
on itself. I showed it to the guys, and we fell into it. We struggled with the turn-around, until [John] Bonham
figured out that you just four-time as if there's no turn-around. That was the secret.[4]
The song's title is a reference to a nameless black Labrador retriever that wandered around the Headley Grange
studios during recording.[4] [5] The dog has nothing to do with the song lyrics, which are about desperate desire for a
woman's love and the happiness resulting thereby. Regarding the lyrics to the song, Plant later said, "Not all my stuff
is meant to be scrutinized. Things like 'Black Dog' are blatant, let's-do-it-in-the-bath type things, but they make their
point just the same."[6] Plant's vocals were recorded in two takes.[7]
Built around a call-and-response dynamic between vocalist and the band, the start and stop a cappella verses were
inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 1969 song "Oh Well."[2] (Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes
would later perform "Oh Well" on their 1999 tour and included it on the album Live at the Greek.)[8]
Despite the seeming simplicity of the drum pattern, the song features a complex, shifting time signature that the band
has sometimes claimed was intended to thwart cover bands from playing the song. Jones originally wanted the song
recorded in 3/16 time but realised it was too complex to reproduce live.[9] In live performances, Bonham eliminated
the 5/4 variation so that Plant could perform his a cappella vocal interludes and then have the instruments return to
together synchronised.[10] If the volume is turned up loud enough, Bonham can be heard tapping his sticks together
before each riff. Page made reference to this in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993:
He did that to keep time and to signal the band. We tried to eliminate most of them, but muting was much
more difficult in those days than it is now.[11]
Page also discussed how he achieved his guitar sound on the track:
We put my Les Paul through a direct box, and from there into a mic channel. We used the mic amp of the
mixing board to get distortion. Then we ran it through two Urei 1176 Universal compressors in series. Then
each line was triple-tracked. Curiously, I was listening to that track when we were reviewing the tapes and the
guitars almost sound like an analog synthesizer.[11]
Page's solo was constructed out of four overdubbed Gibson Les Paul fills.[2]
The sounds at the beginning of the song are those of Page warming up his electric guitar. He called it "waking up the
army of guitars" which are multitrack recorded in unison with electric bass guitar to provide the song's signature.
During the outro-solo Robert Plant can be heard moaning and wailing in the background. [12] Around the 4-minute
mark, he says, "Push me babe, push me babe." It was also during this part of the song that Robert Plant hits his
highest note on any Led Zeppelin studio recording. He reaches it between the second and third repetition of the
fade-out riff during the guitar solo (at the 3:49 mark in the song). Often known for hitting the high G during the
band's early years, Plant seems to reach A5 here.

Live performances
"Black Dog" became a staple and fan favourite of Led Zeppelin's live concert performances. It was first played live
at Belfast's Ulster Hall on 5 March 1971, a concert which also featured the first ever live performance of "Stairway
to Heaven".[2] It was retained for each subsequent concert tour until 1973. In 1975 it was used as an encore medley
with "Whole Lotta Love", but was hardly used on the band's 1977 concert tour of the United States. It was recalled to
the set for the Knebworth Festival 1979 and the 1980 Tour of Europe. For these final 1980 performances, Page
introduced the song from stage.[2]
When played live, Led Zeppelin often played the first few bars of "Out on the Tiles" as the introduction for "Black
Dog", except for the 1973 tour where the riff from "Bring It On Home" introduced the song.
Also, the "ah-ah" refrains were sung in call-and-response between Robert Plant and the audience.
Page's guitar playing prowess is well demonstrated in different recorded performances of the song from Madison
Square Garden in July 1973, as seen in the group's concert films The Song Remains the Same and Led Zeppelin
DVD. There is also a June 1972 live recording of "Black Dog" which can be heard on the album How the West Was
Won, and another live version on Disc 2 of Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions.
"Black Dog" was performed at the Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.
Plant sampled the song on his solo tracks "Tall Cool One" and "Your Ma Said She Cried In Her Sleep Last Night".
Page and Plant performed an updated version of this song on their 1995 tour. "Black Dog" was the first song
performed by Page and Plant at the American Music Awards, which kicked off their first tour together in almost 15
years. Robert Plant also played a version of the song during his solo tour in 2005, as is included on the DVD release
Soundstage: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation. Former Deep Purple-singer David Coverdale's band
Whitesnake released the song "Still of the Night" in 1987 which has often been cited similar to "Black Dog"; later,
when Coverdale toured with Page in 1993, they played both songs together. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
regularly covered "Black Dog" during their tour of USA and Europe in April and May 2008.[12] It also features on
their appearance on the Country Music Television show CMT Crossroads, recorded in October 2007. CMT Episode

"Misty Mountain Hop" is a song from English rock band Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, released in 1971. In
the United States and Australia it was the B-side of the "Black Dog" single, but still received considerable FM radio
airplay. It was recorded at Headley Grange, a mansion with a recording studio in Hampshire, England, where the
band sometimes lived.[1]
Overview
Musically the song is a medium tempo rocker which begins with bassist John Paul Jones playing the electric piano. It
is notable for the presence of layered guitar and keyboard parts, making it solidly melodic, and is driven by one of
drummer John Bonham's most powerful recorded performances in the studio. The song features a memorable riff, on
which Page and Jones harmonize using keyboard and guitar. This repeating riff, heard on the bass guitar, is based on
the notes A G E and sounds like a funk rock bassline. At 2:11, in the second half of the second verse, the band
erroneously falls out of sync with one another. However, the musicians felt that the rest of the take was too good to
discard it. ((Edit = No, they don't- The band members were excellent musicians, and they did this and many other
"out of sync" moments on purpose.... IE= the misread start of "Rock and Roll", Four Sticks in 5/4 time - Candy Store
Rock -- the weird shift into the bridge -- etc
The most common interpretation of the song's lyrics is that they point to an encounter with the police after smoking
marijuana in the park, and leaving to go to the Misty Mountains ("where the spirits fly"), which seems to be a
reference to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. References to the work of Tolkien also exist in other Led Zeppelin songs,
such as "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", "The Battle of Evermore", "No Quarter, and "Ramble On".
The group's recording of this song also appeared as the sole Led Zeppelin track in the 1997 Time-Life 6-CD boxed
set, Gold And Platinum: The Ultimate Rock Collection, marking one of the rare times that a Led Zeppelin recording
has been released in a commercially-issued various artists compilation.
Live performances
"Misty Mountain Hop" first debuted at the show in Copenhagen on the 1971 Led Zeppelin European Tour and was
regularly played live at Led Zeppelin concerts from late 1972 through 1973, often linking directly into "Since I've
Been Loving You" (as can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD). It was also played at the band's two performances at
Knebworth in 1979. For the second of the two performances, Jimmy used a 1977 Gibson RD Artist, due to a broken
string on his main Les Paul. The surviving members of the band additionally performed the song at the Atlantic
Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988 with Jason Bonham filling in on drums for his late father, and again with
Jason at Robert Plant's daughter's 21st birthday party the following year. "Misty Mountain Hop" was also performed
at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.
Robert Plant performed a version of the song on his solo tours. Jimmy Page performed the song on his tour with The
Black Crowes in 1999. Although not included on their original album Live at the Greek, a version of "Misty
Mountain Hop" can be found as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the album released in 2000.

"Rock and Roll" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, which was first released as the second track from the
band's fourth album in 1971, with a guest appearance by The Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart.
"Rock and Roll"
Overview
Befitting its title, the song is based on one of the most popular structures in rock and roll, the 12 bar blues
progression (in A). "Rock and Roll" stands as one of the best-known songs in the band's catalogue.
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said that this song came to be written as a spontaneous jam session, whilst
the band were trying (and failing) to finish the track "Four Sticks".[1] [2] Drummer John Bonham played the
introduction to Little Richard's "Keep a Knockin'" and Page added a guitar riff.[3] The tapes were rolling and fifteen
minutes later the basis of the song was down.[4] Said Page:
We were recording another number [Four Sticks]; wed just finished a take and John Bonham did the drum
intro and we just followed on. I started doing pretty much half of that riff you hear on Rock n Roll and it was
just so exciting that we thought, lets just work on this. The riff and the sequence was really immediate to
those 12-bar patterns that you had in those old rock songs like Little Richard, etc, and it was just so
spur-of-the-moment the way that it just came together more or less out of nowhere.[2]
Page also commented:
It actually ground to a halt after about 12 bars, but it was enough to know that there was enough of a number
there to keep working on it. Robert [Plant] even came in singing on it straight away.[5]
"Rock and Roll" is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit.
The lyrics by singer Robert Plant reference a number of 1950s and 1960s early rock hits, including "The Stroll,"
"The Book of Love," and "Walking In the Moonlight."
Live performances
"Rock and Roll" was a key component of the band's setlist at Led Zeppelin concerts from 1971 on. Initially, Plant
referred to it on stage as "It's Been A Long Time", which is the first line of the song.[3] In 1972 it was elevated to the
opening number of all concert performances and it retained this status until 1975. For the band's 1977 North
American tour, it became part of a medley encore with "Whole Lotta Love", and during 1979 and 1980 it became an
encore in its own right.[3]
When performing the song live, singer Robert Plant usually switched the second verse with the third.
A live performance of the song from Madison Square Garden in July 1973 was recorded for the band's concert film
The Song Remains the Same and accompanying soundtrack album. There is also a June 1972 live recording of "Rock
and Roll" which has been captured on the album How the West Was Won.
In 1985 Page, Plant and Jones reunited and performed the song at the Live Aid concert at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia,
as part of the Led Zeppelin set featuring drummers Tony Thompson and Phil Collins. "Rock and Roll" was also
performed as the final encore at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007. On 7
June 2008, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl and drummer Taylor
Hawkins on stage at Wembley stadium to perform "Rock and Roll," along with "Ramble On".

Cultural influence
In 2002, General Motors used "Rock and Roll" in a series of television commercials for their Cadillac line of
automobiles and ended the song and slogan "Break Through" in late 2006.
In 2006, Bowl Games of America used "Rock and Roll" as the finale for the Gator Bowl halftime show. The song
was performed by 28 high school marching bands, with over 2,500 players.
The song is featured in HBO's "The Sopranos". It plays in the background on the radio at a pizza parlor in episode 3
of season 3.

"Four Sticks" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their fourth album, released in 1971. The title
came from the fact that drummer John Bonham played with two sets of two drumsticks, totalling four.[1] His
decision to play the song with four sticks was a result of him being very frustrated with not being able to get the
track down right during recording sessions at Island Studios. After he grabbed the second pair of sticks and beat the
"Four Sticks"
195
drums as hard as he could, he recorded the perfect take and that was the one they kept. This song was particularly
difficult to record, and required more takes than usual.[1] John Paul Jones played a VCS3 synthesizer on the track.[1]
Guitarist Jimmy Page once said of the song: "It was supposed to be abstract." The abstract effect is further achieved
by the unusual time signature of the song, featuring riffs in a mixture of 5/8 and 6/8 time signatures. After another
failed take during the recording, Jimmy began to play an improvised guitar riff out of frustration. That riff was later
on developed into the second track of the album, "Rock and Roll".
The song was re-recorded by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with the Bombay Symphony Orchestra in 1972, during
their trip to India, along with another track, "Friends" from Led Zeppelin III.[2] This version featured tabla drums and
sitars. The recordings have never been released officially and are only available on Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.
The project is said to have run into problems because the orchestra didn't keep time in the Western style and some of
them drank rather a lot.[3]
The band is only known to have played this song live once, at Copenhagen on their 1971 European tour, as has been
preserved on some bootleg recordings.[1]
Also in 1994, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page had rejoined in musical collaboration as Page and Plant. On 25 August
and 26, live performances were taped in London, Wales, and Morocco with Egyptian and Moroccan orchestration of
several Led Zeppelin tunes - "Four Sticks" was one of them, and the arrangement features drummer Michael Lee
playing with four sticks as well as multiple percussionists such as Hossam Ramzy. This new version of "Four Sticks"
was also included on the album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded, and live performances were so
successful commercially and artistically that the ensemble coordinated a 1995/1996 world tour.
Robert Plant played a version of the song during his solo tour in 2005, as is included on the DVD release
Soundstage: Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation, although drummer Clive Deamer only plays with two sticks.

"Over the Hills and Far Away" is the third track from English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1973 album Houses of the
Holy.
Overview
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant originally constructed the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales
where they stayed after completing a gruelling North American concert tour.[1]
Page plays a six-string acoustic guitar introduction with a melody reminiscent of "White Summer". Page repeats the
theme with 12-string acoustic guitar in unison. In an interview published in Guitar World magazine's November
1993 issue, Page commented on the construction of the song:
GW: Theres an acoustic guitar running throughout the song. Did you play a main acoustic and then overdub
an electric?
Page: No, we played it through entirely as you know it, but I was playing electric.
GW: So you simply edited out of the beginning?
Page: Yeah, thats right. Presumably. It sounds that way. It sounds like the acoustic is going straight through.
Plant's vocals enter on the next repetition. He tenderly offers himself to the "lady" who's "got the love [he] need[s]."
The acoustic guitars build in a crescendo toward the abrupt infusion of Page's electric guitars along with drummer
John Bonham's and bass guitarist John Paul Jones' rhythm accompaniment.
Through the pre-verse interludes and instrumental bridge, "Over the Hills and Far Away" stands out as an example
of Jones and Bonham's tight interplay. Following the final verse, the rhythm section fades out, gradually replaced by
the echo returns from Page's electric guitar and a few chords played by Jones on harpsichord.[2] In the final 8 bars,
Page executes a linearly descending/ascending sequence and then concludes with the idiomatic V-I cadence on synth
imitating a pedal steel guitar.
The song was released as Houses of the Holy's first US single, reaching #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, later
becoming a staple of the Classic rock radio format.
Set lists from Led Zeppelin concerts frequently contained "Over the Hills and Far Away", the song being one that the
band introduced on stage well ahead of its studio release.[3] The live recording on How the West Was Won, a
combined edit of the concerts on 25 and 27 June 1972, was the second public performance of the song In his spoken
introduction to the song before the 27 June 1972 performance in Long Beach, California, Robert Plant says "we did
this song once before, the night before last at the Forum, and it was too much, really great."</ref> The band
continued to play it on the rest of the 1972 concert tour of North America and retained it consistently through 1979,
before omitting it from their final tour of Europe in 1980. In singing the song live in 1973 and later concerts, Plant
often substituted the opening lyrics of the second verse ("Many have I loved, many times been bitten") with the
opening lyrics of the third verse ("Many times I've lied, many times I've listened"). He also commonly followed the
words "pocket-full of gold" with "Acapulco Gold" (a type of marijuana), as can be heard on the live album How the
West Was Won. Also, at concerts guitarist Jimmy Page performed an extended guitar solo, which essentially
consisted of the rhythm and lead guitar parts of the album version split into two separate pieces. This extended solo
made the live renditions last almost or more than seven minutes.
Archive footage of this track being performed live at Seattle in 1977 and at Knebworth in 1979 was used for an
officially distributed video of the song, used to promote the 1990 Led Zeppelin Remasters release.[3] The video
accompanied a CD single which was released following the successful "Travelling Riverside Blues" release.[4]
The song was first called "Many, Many Times", as shown on a picture of the original master on the Led Zeppelin
website.

"Dancing Days" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It appears on their 1973 album, Houses of the Holy,
having been recorded at Stargroves in 1972. It was inspired by an Indian tune that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
heard while traveling in Bombay.[1]
"Dancing Days"
This was the first track from the album to be offered for radio play by Atlantic Records. It was premiered on 24
March 1973 on the BBC Radio One Rosko lunch time show.[2]
Like another track on the album, "Over the Hills and Far Away" (which it backed on a single), "Dancing Days" was
introduced by the band in concert well ahead of its commercial release. Although a bootleg tape purports to prove it
was first played at the Wembley Empire Pool in November 1971, evidence suggests its inclusion on this tape was a
hoax. The earliest live documented reference is in Seattle on 19 June 1972 where the song was performed twice:
once during the main set and again as an encore;[2] it was then performed frequently during the rest of this tour, with
a version appearing on the live album, How the West Was Won. With the release of Houses of the Holy, however,
"Dancing Days" was largely dropped from concerts, although an abridged, acoustic version was occasionally
performed during the 1977 U.S. tour.[2] An full electric version was played as an encore on 13 July 1973 at Cobo
Hall, Detroit, Michigan as featured on the "Monsters of Rock" bootleg.

"D'yer Mak'er" (intended to be pronounced in a British non-rhotic accent as "Jamaica", English

pronunciation:/dmek/) is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy.
"D'yer Mak'er"
205
Overview
This song was meant to imitate reggae and its "dub" derivative emerging from Jamaica in the early 1970s. Its genesis
is traced to Led Zeppelin's rehearsals at Stargroves in 1972, when drummer John Bonham started with a beat similar
to 1950s doo-wop, and then twisted it into a slight off beat tempo, upon which a reggae influence emerged.[1] The
distinctive drum sound was created by placing three microphones a good distance away from Bonham's drums.
"D'yer Mak'er" is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where all four members share the composer credit. The sleeve
on the album also gives tribute to "Rosie and the Originals",[1] a reference to the doo-wop influence which was
evident in the song's style.
This track, as well as another song entitled "The Crunge", was initially not taken seriously by many listeners, and
some critics reserved their harshest criticism for these two arrangements.[1] In an interview he gave in 1977, Page
referred to this negative response:
I didn't expect people not to get it. I thought it was pretty obvious. The song itself was a cross between reggae
and a '50s number, "Poor Little Fool," Ben E. King's things, stuff like that.[2]
Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones has expressed his distaste for the song, suggesting that it started off as a joke
and wasn't thought through carefully enough.[1] However, "D'yer Mak'er" has gathered critical respect in the years
since, and has grown into something of a Led Zeppelin classic. Upon the album's release, Robert Plant was keen to
issue the track as a single in the United Kingdom. Atlantic Records went so far as to distribute advance promotional
copies to DJs (now valuable collectors' items). While it was released in the US, and the single peaked at #20 in
December 1973, it was ultimately never released in the UK.[1]
This song was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, although snatches of it were played
during "Whole Lotta Love" during the 1975 North American concert tour and "Communication Breakdown" at the
Earls Court shows in the same year.
Pronunciation of song title

The name of the song is derived from an old joke: "My wife's gone to the West Indies." "Jamaica?" (which has a
similar pronunciation as "D'you make her?") "No, she went of her own accord". On 21 July 2005, Led Zeppelin
vocalist Robert Plant discussed the song during an interview with Mike Halloran, a DJ on radio station FM94.9 in
San Diego. During the interview, he talked about the different interpretations and pronunciations of the name of the
song.[3] The title, which appears nowhere in the lyrics, was chosen because it reflects the reggae flavour of the song.
Plant has said that he finds it amusing when fans completely ignore the apostrophes and pronounce it as "Dire
Maker".

"The Crunge" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. It was also
released as the B-side of "D'yer Mak'er".
"The Crunge"
Overview
The song evolved out of a jam session in the studio. John Bonham started the beat, John Paul Jones came in on bass,
Jimmy Page played a funk guitar riff (and a chord sequence that he'd been experimenting with since 1970), and
Robert Plant started singing.[1] [2] For the recording of this track, Page played on a Stratocaster guitar and it is
possible to hear him depressing a whammy bar at the end of each phrase.[1]
This song is a play on James Brown's style of funk in the same way that "D'yer Mak'er" (which it backed on a single
release) experiments with reggae.[2] Since most of James Brown's earlier studio recordings were done live with
almost no rehearsal time, he often gave directions to the band in-song e.g. "take it to the bridge" - the bridge of the
song. Plant pays tribute to this at the end by asking "Where's that confounded bridge?" (spoken, just as the song
finishes abruptly since the song doesn't contain a bridge). The song also contains references to songs written by Otis
Redding, specifically "Respect" (later popularized by Aretha Franklin) and "Mr. Pitiful."
A voice is audible at the beginning asking Bonham if he's "ready to go." The voices that can be heard talking on the
recording just as Bonham's drums begin on the intro are those of Jimmy Page and audio engineer George Chkianz.[2]
Prior to 1975, "The Crunge" was only heard live at Led Zeppelin concerts during the band's "Whole Lotta Love"
medley and their 1972 tour version of "Dazed and Confused". One example of this arrangement is presented on the
live album How the West Was Won, where it also appears with "Walter's Walk" on a 25 minute medley. However, on
the 1975 tour of the United States the song was performed almost entirely several times, in the funk jam that would
link "Whole Lotta Love" and "Black Dog" at the end of the concert.
The band's bass player John Paul Jones considers this to be one of his favourite Led Zeppelin songs.[3]
Time signatures
Some of the humor of the song derives from the juxtaposition of James Brown funk against shifting time signatures.
One way to count out the song is as follows:
Intro measure:
1 x 9/8
Part 1:
7 x 9/8 (or 4/8 + 5/8)
1 x 8/8 (or 4/8 + 4/8)
Part 2:
3 x 4/4
1 x 5/8
1 x 2/4
3 x 4/4
1 x 5/8
1 x 2/4
3 x 4/4
1 x 2/4
1 x 2/8
then return to "Part 1", play through pattern two more times, end with roughly
23 x 9/8 (last one ends in the middle of the measure, with drums ending on the 5th beat and the synth continuing for
a beat or two).

A reference to "The Crunge" is made in the film Almost Famous. On the shirt of the Led Zeppelin fanatic, Vic, is
written the four "runes" from Led Zeppelin IV and "Have You Seen the Bridge?".
This song was the title of a season 5 episode of That 70s Show. All season 5 episodes were named after Led
Zeppelin tunes.

"The Ocean" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. "The Ocean"
refers to the sea of fans seen from the stage at Led Zeppelin concerts, to whom this song was dedicated.[1]
Overview
The intro and chorus (the main riff) of this song are done in an alternating 4/4 and 7/8 beat, and the song is in a 4/4
beat in the verses and the latter part of the song. The voice on the intro is drummer John Bonham. When he says,
"We've done four already but now we're steady, and then they went 1, 2, 3, 4!" he is referring to the takes. They had
tried to record it four times prior but couldn't get it right, so as a pep talk he said this famous line.
At approximately 1:37-1:38 into the song and again at around 1:41, a telephone can be faintly heard ringing in the
background. Some speculate that this was intentional - the sheet music (printed after the fact) that accompanies the
CD box set has the word "ring" printed twice above the percussion tab of this song. Others are of the opinion that
while Led Zeppelin recorded the song a ringing phone was accidentally captured in the mix. There is also a noise
heard about 1:59 which sounds like someone pronouncing "c" as in "catch". This occurs again at about 2:12. At 4:11,
Jimmy Page distinctly hits a G string by mistake.
In the last line, the "Girl who won my heart" is a reference to Robert Plant's daughter Carmen, (born 21 November
1968), who was three years old at the time of recording. In concert, Plant always updated the lyric to reflect her
current age, as captured on the Led Zeppelin DVD which features the band's performance of the song at Madison
Square Garden in 1973. During this performance, Plant sang the third verse, which starts with "Sitting round singing
songs 'til the night turns into day" as the second verse and sang the second verse at the end of the song. The band
first played this song live on their 1972 U.S. concert tour and it remained as part of their live performances until their
1973 U.S. tour. It was deleted from their set list thereafter.[1]
"The Ocean"
212
This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs in which it is possible to hear the squeak of John Bonham's bass drum
pedal in the studio, the others being "Since I've Been Loving You" from 1970's Led Zeppelin III, "Ten Years Gone"
and "Houses of the Holy" from 1975's Physical Graffiti, "All My Love" from 1979's In Through the Out Door, and
"Bonzo's Montreux" from 1982's Coda.
The hard rock song unwinds to a coda consisting of a guitar solo and a doo-wop homage. During the last minute or
so of the song, Plant can softly be heard singing something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yeah!"
(Or "I'm so, I'm so, I'm so glad!")

"Trampled Under Foot" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin, featured on their 1975 album Physical
Graffiti.
215
Overview
The song was written by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, and evolved out of a jam session in 1972.[1]
The lyrics were inspired by blues musician Robert Johnson's 1936 "Terraplane Blues."[2] A Terraplane is a classic
car, and the song uses car parts as metaphors for sex"pump your gas," "rev all night," etc.[3] The themes of these
songs however differ; "Terraplane Blues" is about infidelity, while "Trampled Under Foot" is about giving in to
sexual temptation.[4]
Much rehearsal went into perfecting the relentless semi-funk riff that dominates this song.[2] John Paul Jones has
credited Stevie Wonder with the inspiration for the beat ("Superstition", 1973), which he played on a clavinet.[2] [5]
While both riffs are funky with a vaguely similar pattern, they are readily distinguishable. Backed with a solid
backbeat from Bonham, the song would later be sampled in dance remixes and the BBC television programme the
Old Grey Whistle Test, synchronised the song with a black and white filmclip featuring dance hall girls. Guitarist
Jimmy Page played wah-wah and, as producer, employed backwards echo on the recording.[2] [6]
"Trampled Under Foot" became a standard part of Led Zeppelin concerts from 1975 onwards, being played on every
tour until 1980.[2] It was also performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December
2007. When the song was played live, the band would often extend it with lengthy guitar and keyboard solos, and
sometimes Plant would add lyrics from the song "Gallows Pole."
Along with "No Quarter," "Trampled Under Foot" showcased Jones' skills as a keyboard player when performed on
stage. A notable example is the version played at the Earls Court Arena in 1975, as featured on the Led Zeppelin
DVD, which includes an extended solo by Jones on a Hohner Clavinet D6. It is also notable that Plant rarely sang all
the different verses of the song live, and sang a verse (with small alterations sometimes) twice or even three times.
"Trampled Under Foot" was frequently played on the radio when it was first released, charting at #38 on Billboard's
Hot 100 chart. One of Plant's favourite Led Zeppelin songs, he sang it on his 1988 Now and Zen tour, and also at his
daughter Carmen's 21st birthday party in November 1989, with Jason Bonham on drums.
Led Zeppelin did not release any singles in the United Kingdom until 1997, when "Whole Lotta Love" was released
28 years after it was written. There were several pressings made of "Trampled Under Foot" as a single in 1975 in
time for the band's Earl's Court concerts, but they were all shelved before being released, and are today highly
sought-after collectors items.[2] [3]
Rapper B.o.B. samples this song for use in his song "Voltage".

"Black Country Woman" is the fourteenth song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
It was originally intended to be part of the Houses of the Holy album, which had been released two years earlier.
"Black Country Woman" was an acoustic song recorded in the back garden of Mick Jagger's home, Stargroves, in
1972 (around the same time as "D'yer Mak'er").[1] At the beginning of the track, recording engineer Eddie Kramer
can be heard saying, "Shall we roll it Jimmy?" followed by "Don't want to get this airplane on" about an aeroplane

which is heard flying overhead, to which Robert Plant replies "Nah, leave it, yeah."
Recording outdoors proved to be difficult. On one occasion at Headley Grange when Plant tried to go outside to sing
the song, he was attacked by a flock of angry geese.[1]
Originally the song was subtitled "Never Ending Doubting Woman Blues." This was a reference to a final spoken tag
left off the finished version which had Plant proclaiming "What's the matter with you mama, never-ending, nagging,
doubting woman blues.[1] 'Black Country' refers to the area near to Birmingham in which Robert Plant was brought
up.
"Black Country Woman" was only played live at Led Zeppelin concerts when it was merged into a medley with
"Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" on the band's concert tour of the United States in 1977. For this arrangement, John Paul Jones
played an upright bass. It was played in full form only once - at Seattle, Washington on 19 June in 1972. This song
was performed by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss live during their tour supporting the duo's album Raising Sand.[2]

"Candy Store Rock" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1976 on their album Presence. It
was also released as a single in the United States, but it did not chart.[1]
The track is done in the style of a 1950s rock 'n' roll number. Some of lead singer Robert Plant's lyrics were inspired
by parts of various Elvis Presley songs. John Bonham's drumming is controlled rather than bombastic, driven by
interplay between the ride cymbal's bell and snare. Meanwhile Jimmy Page's guitar solo is short and measured,
coming in half way through the song.
The band recorded the song at Musicland Studios in Germany, and it only took them about an hour to write it. Plant
sang from a wheelchair because he was recovering at the time from a car accident he had sustained in Greece.
"Candy Store Rock"

"Candy Store Rock" was never performed live by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts[2] , except for a brief riff by
Page at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio, on 20 April 1977. However, a one-minute improvisation was
played live in concert by Page & Plant as a "Black Dog" introduction on 26 July 1995 at Wembley Arena.
Robert Plant considers "Candy Store Rock" to be one of his favourite songs from Presence.[2]

"Royal Orleans" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin, from their 1976 album Presence.
When in New Orleans on concert tours, members of the group would stay at the Royal Orleans Hotel, and the song is
reportedly based on an incident that occurred there.[1] The story goes that, once when staying at the hotel in the early
1970s, John Paul Jones brought a woman from the bar up to his room, unaware she was a transvestite. Both smoked
marijuana and fell asleep, the transvestite with a lit joint in her hand, which caught fire and burned the room down
(though everyone escaped). The lyrics include lines such as "Be careful how you choose it" and "Poor whiskers set
the room alight" to reference the event.
The song alludes to the fact that it was John Paul Jones from the line:
"Royal Orleans"
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left & right
John Cameron was a studio rival of John Paul Jones. The song also alludes to Barry White.[1]
In an interview he gave to Mojo magazine in 2007, Jones clarified the reliability of this rumour, stating that:
The transvestites were actually friends of Richard [Cole's]; normal friendly people and we were all at some
bar. That I mistook a transvestite for a girl is rubbish; that happened in another country to somebody else...
Anyway 'Stephanie' ended up in my room and we rolled a joint or two and I fell asleep and set fire to the hotel
room, as you do, ha ha, and when I woke up it was full of firemen![2]
"Royal Orleans" is the only song on the album credited to all four members (or any members besides Robert Plant
and Jimmy Page). Vocalist Robert Plant wrote most of the lyrics, using the song as a way to poke fun at Jones,
allegedly because of a comment Jones once made that vocals were the least important part of the band. The song was
the B-side of "Candy Store Rock". Drummer John Bonham played bongo drums on this track.[1]
"Royal Orleans" was never performed live by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]

"Fool in the Rain" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. It was the
final U.S. single released during the band's tenure, reaching number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1980.
"Fool in the Rain"
226
Overview
The song exhibits a Latin feel. The main section is in 12/8 meter; this section employs an unusual 6-over-4
polyrhythmic groove, with the piano and bass playing 6 beats per measure and the melody (and parts of the drum kit)
playing 4 beats per measure. The result is that most of the instruments appear to be playing quarter-note-triplets
against the swing of the melody and drum kit. Drummer John Bonham plays a shuffle beat similar to the "Purdie
shuffle" rhythm attributed to session drummer Bernard Purdie, along with a samba-style breakdown. A master drum
track shows that the samba breakdown (2:25) was recorded separately.
Bass player John Paul Jones and vocalist Robert Plant developed the idea for the samba beat from watching the 1978
FIFA World Cup tournament in Argentina.[1] Guitarist Jimmy Page used an MXR Blue Box effect pedal during the
solo to produce the octave sound.
Lyrically, the song is about a man who's supposed to meet a woman on a certain street corner. When the woman does
not appear, he is filled with sorrow at being stood up. By the final verse, he realizes that he has not gone to the right
place, making him "just a fool waiting on the wrong block," as Plant sings.
This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, as it was heavily studio-based. The piano was quite
necessary in the song, but with John Paul Jones on piano, there could be no bass. There is also a twelve-string guitar
line at one point in the song and the guitar solo that has to be pulled off. However, on October 5, 2005, Led Zeppelin
singer Robert Plant performed the song with Pearl Jam at a Hurricane Katrina benefit show.[2] [3]

"Hot Dog" is a recorded song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. It is the
only song on the album not co-written by bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. A rollicking tune done in the style of a
country hoe-down, it features some Elvis Presley-like vocals from singer Robert Plant.
"Hot Dog"
Overview
The song was influenced by American Rockabilly music. It emerged from the band's London pre-production
rehearsals, at which it was typical for them to run through old Elvis and Ricky Nelson material from the 1950s.[1]
This is notable since Elvis actually had a song called "Hot Dog" which he performed in the motion picture Loving
You in 1957.
The lyrics about a girl in Texas who "Took my heart" may have been based on a real woman in Plant's life, but he
called this a tribute to Texas and the state of mind of the people who lived there. Plant also mentions the name
"U-Haul" in one of the song's verses, referencing the American-based, "move-it-yourself" company. The title of the
song - Hot Dog - refers to a distinctly American cuisine.
Upon listening closely it is possible to hear Jimmy Page counting to four and a slight electronic buzz before the song
begins. Page used a Fender Telecaster on this song, outfitted with a device called a B-Bender. This device, which
raises the pitch of the guitar's B String via interface with the musician's guitar strap, can be heard at the end of the
song's guitar solo.
"Hot Dog" was performed live at Led Zeppelin's performances at Knebworth in August 1979, placed rather
incongruently between "Ten Years Gone" and "The Rain Song" in the first concert on August 4, and on their tour of
Europe in 1980. It was made available to the record industry in America by Swan Song Records.[1] However, the
track was omitted from the Led Zeppelin DVD , which was released in 2003 and instead featured various other songs
performed by the band at Knebworth. This is possibly because Plant forgot some of the lyrics of the song when it
was played at Knebworth.

"Achilles Last Stand"[1] is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin, featured as the opening track on their 1976
album Presence. It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at Page's house in Malibu, California where they
stayed for a month while Plant recovered from a serious car accident he had sustained in Greece in 1975. The song
was then recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany.
Overview
"Achilles Last Stand", at 10 minutes and 25 seconds, is the third longest studio recording released by Led Zeppelin
(after "In My Time of Dying" at 11:06 and "Carouselambra" at 10:34). It is famous for John Bonham's powerful
drumming, John Paul Jones's galloping bass line (played on a custom-built Alembic eight string bass) and Jimmy
Page's overdubbed orchestral guitar arrangement (the dozen or so guitar tracks having been recorded in Munich in a
single session). Page applied vari-speed during production of this song to speed it up, one of the few times he
employed that device in the studio for Led Zeppelin songs.[2] In 1977, he explained:
I'll tell you about doing all the guitar overdubs to "Achilles Last Stand." There were basically two sections to
the song when we rehearsed it. I know John Paul Jones didn't think I could succeed in what I was attempting to
do. He said I couldn't do a scale over a certain section, that it just wouldn't work. But it did. What I planned to
try and get that epic quality into it so it wouldn't just sound like two sections repeated, was to give the piece a
totally new identity by orchestrating the guitars, which is something I've been into for quite some time. I knew
it had to be jolly good, because the number was so long it just couldn't afford to be half-baked. It was all down
to me how to do this. I had a lot of it mapped out in my mind, anyway, but to make a long story short, I did all
the overdubs in one night ... I thought as far as I can value tying up that kind of emotion as a package and
trying to convey it through two speakers, it was fairly successful.[3]

It has been suggested that the title of the song was originally supposed to be known as "Wheelchair Song" as an
acknowledgment of Plant's broken ankle where he believed he would never walk again, which was a result of a car
accident. Lyrically, the song was inspired by Plant's experiences in Morocco, where he and Page travelled following
Led Zeppelin's 1975 Earl's Court concerts.[4] Plant specifically refers to Morocco's Atlas Mountains in the line: "The
mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the Earth". This is a double-meaning to imply the Atlas mountains in a
physical sense seeming to hold up the sky, as well as the reference to the Titan Atlas and his task to hold up the sky
on his shoulders and thus separate it from the Earth. Plant's lyrics were also inspired by some of the poetry he was
reading at the time, which includes William Blake. "Albion remains/sleeping now to rise again" is a reference to
Blake's engraving The Dance Of Albion. The following is an excerpt from the poem that goes with the song:
Albion rose from where he labour'd at the Mill with Slaves.
Giving himself for the Nations he danc'd the dance of Eternal Death.
Albion is the most ancient name of Great Britain.
Jimmy Page has been quoted as saying that "Achilles Last Stand" is his favorite Led Zeppelin song; it became an
integral component of almost every Led Zeppelin concert from their 1977 tour of the United States onwards. Though
Page initially expected that he would need to use his Gibson EDS-1275 double-necked guitar to play the song live,
he realised that it was possible to use the Gibson Les Paul (or occasionally his Fender Telecaster).[4] One live
version, from Led Zeppelin's performance at Knebworth in 1979, is featured on disc two of the Led Zeppelin DVD.
Page has mentioned that this song, like several others the band recorded which involved guitar overdubs, was quite
challenging to adapt for live performances on stage:
"Achilles" is the classic one. When Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards came to hear us play, Keith said, "You
ought to get another guitarist; you're rapidly becoming known as the most overworked guitarist in the
business." Quite amusing. There are times when I'd just love to get another guitarist on, but it just wouldn't
look right to the audience.[3]
"Achilles Last Stand" was used in the film Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001), one of the few times the band allowed a
number from its catalogue to be used in a motion picture.

"All My Love" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. Credited to
Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, it is a slow-tempo progressive rock song, featuring a synthesiser solo by Jones and
lyrics performed by Plant.
Some say Plant wrote the song as a tribute to his five year old son, Karac, who died from a stomach infection in 1977
but many believe the lyrics are about his relationship with his wife, expressing his desire to recommit to the
marriage. He did the vocals all in one take.
Overview
A studio outtake of an extended "All My Love" exists, timed at 7:55 minutes. It has a complete ending, with Plant
extending the last verse and a twangy B-Bender guitar solo by Page.[1] This version has been made available on a
number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. The original working title for the composition was called "The Hook".
The song was played live on Led Zeppelin's concert tour of Europe in 1980.[1] It was one of the most well received
performances of the tour. "All My Love" is also included on the Led Zeppelin compilations Early Days and Latter
Days, Remasters and Mothership.
In an interview he later gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's
"finest moments".[2] However, guitarist Jimmy Page has expressed less fond sentiments for the song. In an interview
with Guitar World magazine in 1998, Page stated that he and drummer John Bonham
...both felt that In Through the Out Door was a little soft. I wasn't really keen on "All My Love". I was a little
worried about the chorus. I could just imagine people doing the wave and all of that. And I thought, that's not
us. That's not us. In its place it was fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to pursue that direction in the future.[3]
"All My Love" is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Page had no part in writing (the other being "South
Bound Saurez", also from In Through the Out Door). It is also the only track in the band's catalogue to feature a
nylon-stringed classical guitar part.

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" is a folk song written by Anne Bredon (then known as Anne Johannson) in the late
1950s. It was recorded by Joan Baez (credited as "traditional") and released on her 1962 album Joan Baez in
Concert, Part 1, and also by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, who included it on their 1969 debut album Led
Zeppelin. Other interpretations of the Bredon song include versions by The Plebs (1964 Decca Records UK/MGM
Records USA), The Association in 1965 (also doing a live version in 1970) and British pop singer Mark Wynter in
1965. Quicksilver Messenger Service recorded a variation on the song in 1967. Welsh band Man would later cover
the QMS song on their 1976 album Maximum Darkness (recorded live at Roundhouse, Chalk Farm on 26 May
1975).
Joan Baez version

Whilst a student at UC-Berkeley in around 1960, Anne Bredon appeared on a live folk-music radio show The
Midnight Special on radio station KPFA, on which she sang "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You".[1] A fellow folk singer
who guested on The Midnight Special, Janet Smith, took up the song and developed it further, playing it live at
hootenanny folk-song events at Oberlin College, one performance of which was attended by Joan Baez.[1] Baez
requested Smith to send her a recording of her songs, including "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", which Baez
subsequently began performing herself. It became the opening track on Joan Baez in Concert, Part 1.[1] Initially, the
song had no writers' credit, but after Smith contacted Bredon, who confirmed her authorship, later recordings of the
song by Baez gave the writing credit to Bredon.[2]

The band was inspired to cover the song after hearing Baez's version. Both guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert
Plant were fans of Baez. Baez's original album had indicated no writing credit, and Led Zeppelin credited the song as
"Trad. arr. Page". In the 1980s, Bredon was made aware of Led Zeppelin's version of the song. Since 1990 the Led
Zeppelin version has been credited to Anne Bredon/Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, and Bredon received a substantial
back-payment in royalties. [2] [3]
This was the number Page played to Plant at their first meeting together, which took place at Page's riverside home at
Pangbourne in late July 1968.[3] It is sometimes stated that the song evolved when Plant played to Page the guitar
arrangement which eventually found its way onto the album. In an interview he gave with Guitar World magazine in
1998, Page refuted this story, noting that he had worked out the arrangement long before he met Plant, told him he
would like it on the album, and that Plant at that time did not even play the guitar.[4]
It is rumored that Page recorded another version of the song, with Steve Winwood, in 1968, which was never
released.[5]
At the 1:43 mark of Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", it is possible to hear a very faint trace
of Plant singing, "I can hear it calling me" just before he sings the same line in full volume. This "ghost" is the vocal
bleed from Plant's scratch vocal, and it appears on the drum tracks, which were recorded live with the full band.
The band played this song live only at Led Zeppelin concerts on its 1969 concert tours, but Page and Plant brought it
back for their 1998 reunion in a 9-minute version.
A live, filmed performance of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", from Led Zeppelin's gig on Danmarks Radio at
Gladsaxe, Denmark, on March 17, 1969, is featured on the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003).
Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked, "It ["Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"] is a song with a classical nature that
also really rocks. It really takes you on a trip."[6] The song is featured on the 2006 One Tree Hill episode entitled
"The Show Must Go On"[7]
As a result of touring in the United States and watching various "Led Zeppelin" cover bands and other artists
perform this song, in recent months Robert Plant has taken to performing this song again, both with his "current"
band "Strange Sensations" as well as in his concert tours as a solo artist.

"Baby Come On Home" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded during sessions for the
band's debut album but remained unreleased until 1993, when it was included on the compilation Boxed Set 2.
The track stems from an old master reel labeled 'Yardbirds. October 10, 1968' (Led Zeppelin were called the "New
Yardbirds" during their first months of existence). The master tape went missing for a number of years and allegedly
turned up in a refuse bin outside Olympic Studios in 1991.[1] It was mixed by Mike Fraser for a much belated release
in 1993, with a single to promote the Boxed Set 2.
The song was originally recorded under the title "Tribute To Bert Berns", in honor of the American songwriter and
producer who had died in December 1967.[1] It is loosely based on two slightly different songs Berns had written and
produced for Hoagy Lands (1964) and Solomon Burke (1965), although the lyrics were completely re-written for
Led Zeppelin's version.

"The Battle of Evermore" is a folk rock song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on their untitled
fourth album (a.k.a. "Led Zeppelin IV"), released in 1971. The song is well-known for its acoustic guitar and
mandolin playing.
Overview
The tune for this was written by guitarist Jimmy Page at Headley Grange while he was experimenting on the
mandolin owned by bassist John Paul Jones.[1] [2] As Page explained in 1977:
"Battle of Evermore" was made up on the spot by Robert [Plant] and myself. I just picked up John Paul Jones's
mandolin, never having played a mandolin before, and just wrote up the chords and the whole thing in one
sitting.[3]
Vocalist Robert Plant had recently been reading about Scottish folklore and this inspired him to compose the lyrics
to this song.[1] The song, like some others by the group, makes references to The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R.
Tolkien. Plant felt he needed another voice to tell the story and for the recording of this song folk singer Sandy
Denny was invited to duet with Plant. Denny was a former member of British folk group Fairport Convention, with
whom Led Zeppelin had shared a bill in 1970 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. Plant played the
role of the narrator and Denny represented the town crier. Page elaborated:
[The song] sounded like an old English instrumental first off. Then it became a vocal and Robert did his bit.
Finally we figured we'd bring Sandy by and do a question-and-answer-type thing.[3]
To thank her for her involvement, Denny was given the symbol on the album sleeve of three pyramids (the four
members of Led Zeppelin each chose their own symbols for the album). This is the only song Led Zeppelin ever
recorded with a guest vocalist. In an interview he gave in 1995 to Uncut magazine, Plant stated:
[F]or me to sing with Sandy Denny was great. We were always good friends with that period of Fairport
Convention. Richard Thompson is a superlative guitarist. Sandy and I were friends and it was the most
obvious thing to ask her to sing on "The Battle of Evermore". If it suffered from naivete and tweeness - I was
only 23 - it makes up for it in the cohesion of the voices and the playing.[4]
244
"The Battle of Evermore" was played live at Led Zeppelin concerts during the band's 1977 concert tour of the United
States. For these live performances, Jones sang Denny's vocals with Plant and played acoustic guitar whilst Page
played mandolin. Sometimes drummer John Bonham sang Denny's vocals instead of Jones. Page and Plant also
recorded a version of the song in 1994, released on their album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Unledded. Singer Najma Akhtar sang Sandy Denny's vocal part.
Fairport Convention performed "The Battle of Evermore" with guest vocalists Robert Plant and Kristina Donahue at
Fairport's Cropredy Convention on 9 August 2008. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss regularly performed "The Battle
Of Evermore" on their tour of USA and Europe in Spring and Summer 2008.[5]

"Black Mountain Side" is an instrumental by English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on the band's 1969 dbut
album Led Zeppelin. It was recorded at Olympic Studios, London during October 1968.
Song structure
"Black Mountain Side" was inspired by a traditional Irish folk song called "Down by Blackwaterside". The guitar
arrangement closely follows Bert Jansch's version of that song, recorded on his 1966 album Jack Orion.[1] This
arrangement was learnt by Al Stewart, who followed Jansch's gigs closely, and who, in turn, taught it to Jimmy Page,
who was a session musician for Stewart's debut album.[2]
The beginning of the song is cross-faded over the end of the previous track on Led Zeppelin, "Your Time Is Gonna
Come". An overdubbed rapid guitar lick can be heard with the tempo then steadying to 114 beats per minute
throughout the song. Page did this to simulate the sound of a sitar, for which the song's dropped-down DADGAD
tuning leads into. Page played a borrowed Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar for this recording.[3] To enhance the Indian
character of the song, drummer and sitarist Viram Jasani played tabla on the track.[3]
The overall Eastern-flavour of the structure was to lead writer William S. Burroughs into a suggestion to Jimmy
Page about Led Zeppelin's music:
[I] did a joint interview with William Burroughs for Crawdaddy magazine in the early Seventies, and we had a
lengthy discussion on the hypnotic power of rock and how it paralleled the music of Arabic cultures. This was
an observation Burroughs had after hearing "Black Mountain Side", from our first album. He then encouraged
me to go to Morocco and investigate the music first hand, something Robert [Plant] and I eventually did.[4]

When the song was played at Led Zeppelin concerts, it was usually featured as part of Jimmy Page's instrumental
"White Summer", with the combined arrangement "White Summer-Black Mountain Side" typically running at 11
minutes. Page would sit on a stool for the duration of the two songs and usually played them on a 1959 Danelectro
DC "Double Cutaway" guitar, tuned differently than his favored Gibson Les Paul. These songs were used by the
band to showcase Page's skills as a guitarist, as he plays almost entirely by himself, with drummer John Bonham
adding some fills later in the song. The "White Summer"/"Black Mountain Side" combination was first performed as
part of their first-ever concert at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, on 10 January 1969, and the Spokane show
from 30 December 1968, features the arrangement without "Black Mountain Side".
This song was a component of Led Zeppelin's live set list until their fifth US Tour in 1970. Years later it was
restored to their set for the 1977 US Tour, the 1979 concerts and 1980 European tour.[3] "Black Mountain Side" was
also used to lead into "Kashmir" on this latter tour.
A live version of this song can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD, during Led Zeppelin's 1970 Royal Albert Hall
appearance. A similar version can be heard, most likely from the Playhouse Theatre sessions from 27 June 1969, on
the expanded version of Coda, an album of outtakes released in 1982. This arrangement has the "White Summer"
segment being played for around eight minutes, and "Black Mountain Side" is heard somewhere in the middle.
Page later played versions of this song when he was with The Firm, the group he founded with Paul Rodgers.

"Bonzo's Montreux" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin. The song is a solo by drummer John Bonham,
recorded in September 1976 at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland.[1] Jimmy Page added the electronic
effects afterwards.[2]
The song was left unreleased until 1982, when it was included posthumously on the album Coda following
Bonham's death in 1980.
The song was also included on both of the band's boxed sets, released in the early 1990s. It was presented in a
medley with Bonham's solo on "Moby Dick" on the first boxed set in 1990, and as an individual track on the second
boxed set in 1993.
Although the version of Coda included on the career-spanning boxed set The Complete Studio Recordings featured
the new songs that were released on the boxed set series, the "Moby Dick/Bonzo's Montreux" medley (released on
the first boxed set, in 1990) was omitted.
This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs where it is possible to hear the squeak of John Bonham's bass drum pedal
in the recording studio, the others being "Since I've Been Loving You" from 1970's Led Zeppelin III, "The Ocean"
from 1973's Houses of the Holy, and "Ten Years Gone" from 1975's Physical Graffiti.
"Bonzo's Montreux" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, however, Bonham would perform parts of
the song during "Over the Top" in 1977.[2]

"Boogie with Stu" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. It was a
jam recorded in 1971 at Headley Grange, where the band had done most of the recording for their fourth album.
They were using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio and were accompanied by Rolling Stones' road manager and
piano player, Ian Stewart, who ended up jamming with the band on piano.[1]
According to Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer, Jimmy Page, this song would not have emerged had it not been
for the particularly informal 'live-in' environment at Headley Grange where it was recorded:
Some of the things that happened there, like "Boogie With Stu" where Stu turns up and plays a piano that's
totally unplayable, were incredible. That was too good to miss because Stu wouldn't record, he wouldn't do
solo stuff. All of these things wouldn't end up on albums as far as other people were concerned, but they did
with us.[2]
The working title for this song was "Sloppy Drunk", a title that vocalist Robert Plant came up with.[1]
It has been reported that Plant played guitar on the track (with Jimmy Page playing mandolin).[3] The slapping guitar
came from an overdub session with an ARP guitar synth.[1]
The final product was a song based on Ritchie Valens' "Ooh, My Head."[1] The song was credited to
"Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart". Valens publisher, Kemo Music, filed suit for copyright
infringement and an out of court settlement was reached.[4] As Page explained:
What we tried to do was give Ritchie's mother credit, because we heard she never received any royalties from
any of her son's hits, and Robert did lean on that lyric a bit. So what happens? They tried to sue us for all of the
song![5]
This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]

"Bring It On Home" is a song written by American bassist-songwriter Willie Dixon. The first known recording of
the song was by Sonny Boy Williamson II in 1963. The song was later recorded by Led Zeppelin in 1969, which led
to a lawsuit because the band had not given Willie Dixon a writing credit on their version of the song.
Sonny Boy Williamson II recording

Sonny Boy Williamson II's version of the song was recorded on January 11, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois.
Accompanying Sonny Boy on vocals and harmonica were Johnny "Guitar" Watson on guitar, Milton Rector on bass,
Al Duncan on drums, and either Lafayette Leake or Billy Emerson on an organ.[1]
Sonny Boy's version was not released until three years after its recording in early 1966 when it appeared on The Real
Folk Blues and was released as a single.

In 1969, English rock band Led Zeppelin recorded a version of the song for their album Led Zeppelin II. The intro
and outro were deliberate homages to the Sonny Boy Williamson song, while the rest of the track was an original
Jimmy Page/Robert Plant composition,[2] however, Dixon was not given a lyric writing credit for the song. In 1972,
Arc Music, the publishing arm of Chess Records, brought a lawsuit against Led Zeppelin for copyright infringement
over "Bring It On Home"; the case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
In an interview he gave in 1977, Page commented:
The thing with "Bring It On Home," Christ, there's only a tiny bit taken from Sonny Boy Williamson's version
and we threw that in as a tribute to him. People say, "Oh, 'Bring It On Home' is stolen." Well, there's only a
little bit in the song that relates to anything that had gone before it, just the end.[3]
Plant's harmonica part was recorded in Vancouver. The band went on tour with the master tapes from Led Zeppelin
II and now and then stopped into a studio to record parts.
Led Zeppelin frequently performed this song live at Led Zeppelin concerts, first appearing as an encore on the band's
1970 UK tour. When played live, the song exhibited sharp interplay between Jimmy Page's guitar, John Bonham's
drums and John Paul Jones' bass. This can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD, which features a performance at the
Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Another version dating from 1972 is included on the live release How the West Was Won
which listed the song as a medley on the cover. "Bring It On Home" was credited to Dixon, while the middle section,
newly named "Bring It On Back", was credited to Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant.
From 1973, the song was dropped from the band's live set list. However, the middle section riff was retained and
served as the introduction to "Black Dog" on the band's 1973 tour of the United States, as documented in the concert
film The Song Remains the Same.
"Bring It On Home" was played at the reunion of surviving Led Zeppelin members staged at Jason Bonham's
wedding reception in May 1990.[2]

"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's third album, Led Zeppelin III, released in
1970.
Song history
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant constructed the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they
stayed after completing a gruelling concert tour of the United States.[1] [2] John Paul Jones also received a writing
credit for the song. It was later recorded at Headley Grange in 1970, using a mobile studio belonging to the Rolling
Stones. It was finished off at Island, London and Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee.
Drummer John Bonham played spoons and castanets on the recording.[2] Bassist John Paul Jones played an acoustic
five-string fretless bass. Jimmy Page's 1971 Martin D-28 guitar, in this song, is tuned to open F.
Led Zeppelin also recorded the song as an electric instrumental, "Jennings Farm Blues", which later surfaced as a
studio out-take on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.[2] Jennings Farm is the name of the property on
which the Plant family stayed in the early 1970s.
Origin of the name

The song is named after Bron-Yr-Aur, a house in Gwynedd, Wales, where the members of Led Zeppelin retreated in
1970 to write much of Led Zeppelin III after having completed a grueling concert tour of the United States.
Bron-Yr-Aur means "golden breast" or "breast of gold" in Welsh, as in a hillside of gold. Its pronunciation is Welsh
pronunciation:[brn r ar]. The cottage had no electricity or running water, but the change of scenery provided
inspiration for many of the songs on the album, including "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp."
The song's title was misspelled on the album cover during initial printing; it should read "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp." This
error can be contrasted to another Led Zeppelin track, "Bron-Yr-Aur", a two-minute instrumental featured on their
later album Physical Graffiti, which was spelled correctly. When the song appeared on the 2003 DVD, it was spelled
correctly both on the back cover of the set and the DVD's menu, although without the hyphens ("Bron Yr Aur
"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp"
Stomp"), and on the live album How the West Was Won it was spelled "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp".
Lyrics
In "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", a country music-inflected hoedown, singer Robert Plant waxes lyrically about walking in
the woods with his blue-eyed Merle dog named Strider.[2] Plant reportedly named his dog after Aragorn (often called
Strider) from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. References to the work of Tolkien exist in some other Led
Zeppelin songs, such as "Ramble On," "The Battle of Evermore," and "Misty Mountain Hop". However, there are no
explicit references to Tolkien works in "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". The lyrics also make reference to the song "Old Shep":
When you're old and your eyes are dim / There ain't no "Old Shep" gonna happen again.
Live performances
This song regularly appeared in Led Zeppelin's acoustic set from the second UK tour in 1971 to the 1973 European
Tour. When the band performed the song live at Led Zeppelin concerts, John Paul Jones played an upright bass and
Bonham sang harmony vocals with Plant (always stopping in the middle of the third verse). This can be seen in the
footage from the Earls Court concerts in May 1975, featured on the Led Zeppelin DVD. On the band's 1977 North
American tour, the song "Black Country Woman" was merged into a medley with "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". At one
Californian show (6/27/77 LA Forum), "Dancing Days" was also featured in the acoustic medley. In some shows,
Page sings harmony vocals with Plant instead of Bonham (Seattle in 1977, for example).
It is also notable that the song was always performed live a whole step higher than the album version. (Open G)
Cultural influence
The band Blue Merle took their name from lyrics in the song: "There ain't no companion like a blue-eyed Merle".

"Bron-Yr-Aur" (Welsh pronunciation:[brn.r.ar]) is an acoustic guitar instrumental tune by English rock band Led
Zeppelin, and, at two minutes and six seconds in duration, is the shortest studio recording under the band's name.
The song was initially written and recorded in 1970 by Jimmy Page during the sessions for the album Led Zeppelin
III, but was eventually released in 1975 on Physical Graffiti. It was named after Bron-Yr-Aur, a cottage in Gwynedd,
Wales, where the members of Led Zeppelin spent time during the recording of Led Zeppelin III.[1] ("Bron-Y-Aur
Stomp" is a different song from Led Zeppelin III.)
"Bron-Yr-Aur" is a reflective and relaxed piece, and one of the last acoustic tunes released under the band's name. It
features a characteristic open C6 tuning (C-A-C-G-C-E) and is played on a 1971 Martin D-28.[2] This same tuning
was also used by Page on the tracks "Poor Tom" and "Friends".[3] Some minor string squeaks and small mistakes
were left in by Page to keep the live feel. The song also uses a chorus pedal on the acoustic guitar to create a floating
sound.
The tune was rarely performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, but it can be heard on some bootleg recordings from
their sixth American concert tour in August-September 1970, when it was sometimes played as part of their acoustic
set.[3] It can be heard on the famous bootleg album Live on Blueberry Hill, on which Led Zeppelin singer Robert
Plant explains the origins of "Bron-Yr-Aur":
This is a thing called 'Bron-Yr-Aur'. This is a name of the little cottage in the mountains of Snowdonia in
Wales, and 'Bron-Yr-Aur' is the Welsh equivalent of the phrase 'Golden Breast'. This is so because of its
position every morning as the sun rises and it's a really remarkable place. And so after staying there for a while
and deciding it was time to leave for various reasons, we couldn't really just leave it and forget about it. You've
probably all been to a place like that, only we can tell you about it and you can't tell us.
The studio version of "Bron-Yr-Aur" is played in the concert film The Song Remains the Same, at the point when the
band members are shown driving through New York City in a limousine (although it is not featured on the
accompanying soundtrack album). A snippet of the tune can also be heard in the film Almost Famous, one of the rare
instances when the band allowed part of their catalogue to be used for a motion picture.

"C'mon Everybody" is a 1958 song by Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart, originally released as a B-side. In 1959 it
peaked in the UK (where Cochran had major success and where he died in 1960) at No. 6 in the singles chart, and,
thirty years later, in 1988, the track was re-issued there and became a No. 14 hit. In the United States the song got to
No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. "C'mon Everybody is ranked No. 403 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The
500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
When Cochran recorded his lead vocal for the song, he also created an alternate version of the song called "Let's Get
Together". The only change to the lyrics was exactly that: the phrase "Let's get together" in place of "C'mon
everybody". This alternate version was eventually released on a compilation album in the 1970s.[1]
Cover versions exist by Led Zeppelin, Sid Vicious, Humble Pie, Neon Rose (Sweden), Backbeat Band, UFO, Cliff
Richard and the Shadows and Tomoyasu Hotei.
The song was also used by Levi Strauss & Co. to promote their 501 jean range in 1988. The advert told the story of
how the narrator, songwriter Sharon Sheeley, attracted Eddie Cochran by wearing said jeans. The song was
re-released as a promotional single that year.

"C'mon Everybody"
Elvis Presley song

"C'mon Everybody" is also the title of an unrelated song performed by Elvis Presley in the 1964 film Viva Las
Vegas. This song is credited to songwriter Joy Byers, although in recent years Byers's husband and songwriting
partner Bob Johnston has disputed this. Johnston wrote a number of songs for Elvis in the 1960s including "It Hurts
Me" and "Let Yourself Go," both of which were performed by Elvis in the 1968 "Comeback Special."
Led Zeppelin song

'C'mon Everybody' is the Eddie Cochran song recorded by Led Zeppelin in 1970. It was ultimately released in 2003
on the DVD Led Zeppelin. It features the performance on the Royal Albert Hall in 1970.

"Carouselambra" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. The name
Carouselambra is a reference to the first section of the song sounding similar to carousel music. It is the second
longest song the band recorded in the studio (after "In My Time of Dying"), clocking in at more than 10 minutes in
length.
It's also a very unusual song for the band, as Jimmy Page's guitar work is pushed almost to the background, while
John Paul Jones dominates with heavy use of synthesisers.
Overview
"Carouselambra" was conceived during the band's rehearsals at Clearwell Castle in May 1978.[1] The song itself is
split in three sections. The first section is a fast-paced showcase of Jones on synthesiser (he overdubbed a bass guitar
part), with Robert Plant's vocals mixed down slightly underneath Jones, the drums of John Bonham and Page's guitar
chord progression. The second section is much slower in pace, highlighting Page's use of the Gibson EDS-1275
double-necked guitar, the only time he used that instrument on a Led Zeppelin studio song,[1] while Plant sings some
reflective lyrics. The final section returns to an up-tempo beat, with all four band members performing in unison.
Page's deep, droning guitar sound was produced with a Gizmotron, a device that creates indefinite sustain, weird
harmonics, and allows the guitar to sound like a string section.
Jones, in an interview, stated he had obtained the Yamaha GX-1 synthesiser from Keith Emerson after Emerson,
Lake & Palmer had split-up after completing the album Love Beach.
The song is in standard 4/4 timing in the key of A major, although there are various instances of modulation to C, D,
F, and G major. The lyrics to the first section of the song follow a rough "ABAB" rhythmical format. In the second
and third sections of the song the format changes along with the instruments.
Plant's lyrics, particularly in the first section of the song, are somewhat buried in the mix and are difficult to discern.
According to an interview Plant gave in 1979, the song was about someone who, when one day realising the song
was written about them, would say, "My God! Was it really like that?"[1] Plant has also said that the lyrics are related
to "The Battle of Evermore" with clues at the end where he sings "But guard the seed."
"Carouselambra"
"Carouselambra" was never played live by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts. One fan vehemently claimed that the
song was performed for an encore at the June 26, 1977 concert at the LA Forum, but bootleg video and audio prove
that the song was actually "It'll Be Me."[2] [3] The band planned to perform the song on their 1980 North American
tour,[1] and rehearsed it on the day that drummer John Bonham died. During the 1995-96 Page and Plant tour,
however, Plant would often sing the middle verse of the song when he and Page performed "In the Evening".[4] [5]
"Carouselambra" was played as the closing credits rolled when MTV was first broadcast.

"Celebration Day" is the third track from English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1970 album Led Zeppelin III.
The track was almost left off the album, due to a studio oversight in which an engineer accidentally erased the first
few bars of John Bonham's drum track. To disguise it, the Moog synthesizer from the end of the previous song on the
album, "Friends", was used to composite over the edit. This enabled the track to be salvaged and included on the
album.[1]
"Celebration Day" is made up of jangling Jimmy Page guitar riffs and a hypnotic, trance-like mood. In an interview
he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993, Page discussed the construction of the song:
There's about three or four riffs going down on that one, isn't there? Half was done with a guitar in standard
tuning and the other half was done on slide guitar tuned to an open A, I think. We put that together at Headley
Grange. Because we rented the Rolling Stones' mobile recording studio, we could relax and take our time and
develop the songs in rehearsals. I do not remember too much about that song other than that and what I told
you earlier about the opening being erased. I used to play the whole thing live on my electric 12-string.[1]
The lyrics of Robert Plant refer to his impressions of the city of New York. On Led Zeppelin's 1971 concert tour of
the United States, Robert Plant would sometimes introduce it as "The New York Song". "Celebration Day" was often
played live in Led Zeppelin concerts from 1971 through 1973, and was returned to the band's set list at Knebworth in
1979 (where Page unusually performed the song using his Gibson EDS-1275 double-necked guitar).[2] A live version
from the band's 1973 U.S. tour was recorded and included on their concert soundtrack The Song Remains the Same.
When released in 1976, the album's accompanying film did not include this live cut of "Celebration Day," but when
the DVD of the film was reissued in 2007, footage of the song was added to the second extras disc, and included on
the reissue of the album. This reissued version is slightly different from the one that was originally included on the
1976 album, in particular featuring a different guitar solo. Jimmy Page performed "Celebration Day" on his tour with
The Black Crowes in 1999, and another version performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the
album Live at the Greek. Record producer Rick Rubin says, "It ["Celebration Day"] feels like a freight train, even
though it's not one of their heavier songs. There's tremendous momentum in the way they play together. The bass
playing is beyond incredible and the guitars interact really wellthere's a heavy-riffing guitar, which is answered by
a funky guitar."[3]

(1)
"The

(2)
"Custard Pie" is the first track on the English rock band Led Zeppelin's sixth album, Physical Graffiti, released in
1975. The lyrics to the riff-heavy song pay homage to the blues songs of the Robert Johnson era; specifically "Drop
Down Mama" by Sleepy John Estes, "Shake 'Em On Down" by Bukka White, and "I Want Some Of Your Pie" by
Blind Boy Fuller.[1]
The song contains somewhat difficult-to-comprehend lyrics, but, like several other songs on the album, they are full
of sexual innuendo. In this case, "Custard Pie" refers to a woman's sexual organs and the song is rife with references
to oral sex: "Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice / When you cut it mama, save me a slice", as well as "chewin' a
piece of your custard pie".
"Custard Pie" contains a wah-wah solo by guitarist Jimmy Page, which was played through an ARP synthesizer.[1] It
also features an electric clavinet played by John Paul Jones and a harmonica solo by vocalist Robert Plant.[1]
Despite being rehearsed for Led Zeppelin's 1975 North American tour, this track was never completely played live at
Led Zeppelin concerts.[1] The band briefly performed a portion of the song as part of their acoustic set during a
concert in Houston, Texas on 21 May 1977.
In later years, Robert Plant incorporated a chorus of the song on the end of the live version of his solo song, "Tall
Cool One". Page also produced his own live version on his Outrider tour. Page and Plant finally performed the
complete song together on occasion in 1996 while touring behind their No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Unledded album. In 1999, Page again performed the song, this time whilst on his tour with The Black Crowes. A
version of "Custard Pie" performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.

"Darlene" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin. It was recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden
during the In Through the Out Door sessions in November 1978.
Due to space constraints, the song was not included on In Through the Out Door. It was left unreleased until 1982,
when it was included on the album Coda. It was one of three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted
from In Through the Out Door and later released on Coda, the other two being "Ozone Baby" and "Wearing and
Tearing".[1]
John Paul Jones plays piano on this track.
The end of the track includes a lyrical nod to "American Pie" by Don McLean. "With a pink carnation and a pickup
truck."
This is the only song from the In Through the Out Door sessions which was credited to all four members of the band.
It was never played live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]

Dazed and Confused is a song by Jake Holmes, which was covered by The Yardbirds, and later reworked by Led
Zeppelin who hold a separate copyright on the song.[1]

Folk singer Jake Holmes wrote and recorded Dazed and Confused for his debut solo album "The Above Ground
Sound" of Jake Holmes, released in June 1967. Like the other tracks on the album, the song does not include any
drums. It was recorded entirely with the trio of Holmes on guitar, keyboard and vocals, Ted Irwin on guitar and Rick
Randle on bass.[2] [3] The song has been incorrectly labelled as a tale about a bad acid trip. Holmes himself has
confirmed that this is not the case. In 2001 he gave an interview to Shindig! magazine and said this about "Dazed and
Confused":
I never took acid. I smoked grass and tripped on it, but I never took acid. I was afraid to take it. The song's
about a girl who hasn't decided whether she wants to stay with me or not. It's pretty much one of those love
songs.[4]
In June 2010, Jake Holmes sued Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for copyright infringement, claiming to have
written and recorded Dazed and Confused two years before it appeared on Led Zeppelin's debut album. In court
documents Holmes cited a 1967 copyright registration for Dazed and Confused which was renewed in 1995.[5]
272
The Yardbirds
During a 1967 tour of the United States by English rock group The Yardbirds, Jake Holmes performed as the opener
at the Village Theater in Greenwich Village on August 25, 1967.[6] The Yardbirds were inspired by his performance
and decided to work up their own arrangement for a new song. Their version featured long instrumental passages of
bowed guitar courtesy of Jimmy Page, and dynamic instrumental flourishes. Page has stated that he obtained the idea
of using a violin bow on his guitar from a violinist named David McCallum, Sr., during his session days before
joining the Yardbirds in 1966.[7] At that time, it even had a little Eeastern influence, as can be heard on some French
television appearances. It quickly became a staple of The Yardbirds' live act during their final year of their existence.
The song was never recorded by the band, although a live version is included on the album Live Yardbirds:
Featuring Jimmy Page under the alternate title "I'm Confused". Another live version of the song, recorded on the
French TV series "Bouton Rouge" on 9 March 1968, was included on the CD Cumular Limit in 2000 and was
credited "by Jake Holmes arr. Yardbirds."[8]

When the Yardbirds disbanded in 1968, the song "Dazed and Confused" was re-worked by Page yet again, this time
while as a member of Led Zeppelin. According to Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, the first time he heard the
song was at the band's very first rehearsal session at Gerrard Street in London in 1968: "Jimmy played us the riffs at
the first rehearsal and said, This is a number I want us to do."[9] Led Zeppelin recorded their version in October 1968
at Olympic Studios, London, and the song was included on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin.
The Led Zeppelin version was not credited to Holmes. Page took the title, came up with a new set of lyrics, and
changed enough of the melody to escape a plagiarism lawsuit from Jake Holmes.[10] [3] [11] While Holmes took no
action at the time, he did later contact Page in regards to the matter. Page had not replied as of 2001.[12] In June 2010
Holmes filed a lawsuit in United States District Court, alleging copyright infringement and naming Page as a
co-defendant.[13]
Led Zeppelin's interpretation of the song begins with a slow-tempo bluesy rhythm, propelled by John Paul Jones'
descending bass line. It then changes to a faster tempo during the darkest part of the song, again featuring bowed
guitar by Page, followed by a furious guitar solo (similar to Page's solo from the Yardbirds' "Think About It"), before
finally returning to the initial rhythm. John Bonham's sporadic, explosive drumming throughout helped define the

song's power and intensity, as well as featuring one of Bonham's signature fills, the Bonham Triplet, while Robert
Plant contributed open-throated falsetto vocals suitable for the anguished lyrics to the song.[14]
This was one of three Led Zeppelin songs on which Page used a bow on his guitar, the others being "How Many
More Times" and "In the Light". The intro of the song "In the Evening" utilised the Gizmotron rubber wheel string
exciter to achieve the violin-like effects. Many often mistake this for his use of the bow.
Led Zeppelin live performances

"Dazed and Confused" was widely popularised by, and is still heavily identified with, Led Zeppelin's version. It
became the centrepiece for the group at Led Zeppelin concerts, at least through the release of "Whole Lotta Love"
from their second album. When performed live, it was (except for the fast middle section) played at a slower overall
tempo, and gradually extended in duration (up to 45 minutes by 1975) as a multi-section improvised jam. Although
initially performed in a manner similar to the studio version, some noticeable differences were gradually developed
in live performances. By June 1969, in the section where Page plays guitar with a violin bow, the rest of the band
dropped out completely, allowing him to perform a lengthier free-form improvisation, though by January 1970, the
main structure of the section was already formed. By 1972, another improvised section had been added between the
verses and this. The fast section was extended to allow changes in dynamics and volume, as well as changing the
beat, sometimes seguing in and out of another song altogether. There was a short jam at the end of the song after the
final verse.
Over time, the improvisational suite incorporated more and more material. In 1972, the song incorporated riffs from
the Led Zeppelin songs "The Crunge", and "Walter's Walk", as can be heard on the live album How the West Was
Won. By 1973, the song featured an extended transition before the violin bow solo, which incorporated a melody that
would later be used in 1976's "Achilles Last Stand". Plant sang lyrics from either Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco"
or Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" during this transition. Also during this time, the violin solo would incorporate
"Mars" from Gustav Holst's suite The Planets, accompanied by Plant's vocalisations.
In his 1997 publication Led Zeppelin Live: An Illustrated Exploration of Underground Tapes, Luis Rey dissects the
pattern of the song (as it was in 1975) into twelve sections, in order to demonstrate its gradual state of evolution
when played live:
Stage 1: Bass intro and wah-wah interludes
Stage 2: Main vocal theme
Stage 3: Fast instrumental and 'oriental' riffs
Stage 4: "San Francisco" or "Woodstock"
Stage 5: Violin bow episode including echo-slapping from the guitar; interlude with Plant's 'instrumental
voice'; Gustav Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War and return of the rhythm section
Stage 6: Fast guitar solo and battle with Plant
Stage 7: Slower tempo solo and 'funky' moods
Stage 8: Violent breaks and call and response interlude
Stage 9: Faster solo in crescendos and occasional break-up tempo
Stage 10: New arrangement of Mars, the Bringer of War (slow and fast versions) and final frenzy
Stage 11: Return to main theme
Stage 12: Coda. Final instrumental and vocal battle inside syncopated rhythms, drum-solo and final
explosion.[15]
A live version of "Dazed and Confused" was featured in Led Zeppelin's 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the
Same (and accompanying soundtrack), as part of Page's fantasy sequence. Other live recordings are also found on the
official releases Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions (featuring two different versions), How the West Was Won, and the Led
273
274
Zeppelin DVD.
"Dazed and Confused" was performed on every Led Zeppelin concert tour up to and including their 1975 shows at
Earls Court.[16] It was then removed from their live set, although Page continued to perform parts of the bowed
guitar segment during solo spots in 1977 and 1979 (as preludes to "Achilles Last Stand" and "In the Evening",
respectively). It was performed once again at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on December
10, 2007.
Cultural influence
The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
The song was also used as the basis for the title of the 1993 film Dazed and Confused, which chronicled the lives of
various American youths on their last day of high school in 1976. However, it is not found on the film's soundtrack.
The film's director Richard Linklater appealed to Led Zeppelin band members to use some of their songs in the
movie but, although Page agreed, Robert Plant refused.[17] [18]
The song is featured in the drama series Shabatot VeHagim, 2003 episode "Air Guitar"[19] In the television show The
Simpsons, an episode of Itchy & Scratchy (1993 "The Front") has the title "Dazed and Contused", an obvious pun on
the song. It was also used again as a pun ("abraised and contused") in the 2006 episode "Bart Has Two Mommies"
where Ned Flanders addresses himself as Ned Zeppelin. Chad Smith and various others can be heard listening to it in
the Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary Funky Monks.

"Down by the Seaside" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
Overview
The song was originally written as an acoustic piece by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at Bron-Yr-Aur, the cottage in
Wales where they went after their 1970 concert tour of the United States.[1] [2] It was then recorded in 1971 as an
electric arrangement and was intended for release on Led Zeppelin IV but was held over and eventually placed on
Physical Graffiti to fill up the double album.
The song alternates between soft and hard-rocking sections, with the lighter sections employing a tremolo effect on
the guitar, or possibly by running it through a Leslie speaker, to give an 'underwater talking' feel. John Paul Jones
plays a Hohner "Electra-Piano" electric piano on the track.
"Down by the Seaside" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[2]
Plant would later record "Down by the Seaside" as a duet with Tori Amos for the 1995 Led Zeppelin tribute album
Encomium.
Neil Young influence

The song was influenced by Neil Young.[2] The title may be a reference to the song "Down by the River" and the
somewhat nasal inflection in Plant's vocals may be an homage to Young's distinctive voice. Plant had long admired
the work of Young and Stephen Stills. While in the Band of Joy, he covered Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's
Worth", now available on Plant's compilation album Sixty Six to Timbuktu. Also, Plant sang lyrics from "On the Way
Home," another Buffalo Springfield song, during "How Many More Times" at the Royal Albert Hall performance
found on the Led Zeppelin DVD release. Additionally, during performances of "Dazed and Confused" in 1975, Plant
often employed lyrics from "Woodstock," a Joni Mitchell song most familiar in its Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
incarnation. Plant also occasionally included "Cinnamon Girl" and "For What It's Worth" in the "Whole Lotta Love"
Medley.

"For Your Life" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1976 album Presence.
During the recording of "For Your Life" at Musicland Studios, Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant was convalescing
from a car accident which he had sustained in Greece the previous year, and he delivered his vocal performance from
a wheelchair. The song's vocals are notable in part because of the snorting sound heard around 5:30, with the lyrics:
"With the fine lines of the crystal payin' through your nose". Plant later explained the song's venom was due in part
to his observations of the excessive amount of cocaine which had now pervaded and ruined the music scene in Los
Angeles, during his stay on the West Coast prior to recording.[1] The lyrics, written by Plant, indicated that one part
of the song also had to do with an unnamed female acquaintance of his who got drawn into the Los Angeles drug
scene, to whom he wags a finger and says "watch it."
Jimmy Page used his 1962 Lake Placid blue Fender Stratocaster for the first time on this track, which was supplied
to him by Gene Parsons.[2] Evidence of its usage is clearly present as Page executes numerous "dive bombs" on the
instrument's tremolo arm.[3] He would later use it with his band The Firm.
In an interview he gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Page commented on the spontaneous nature of the song's
construction, saying that it "was made up in the studio, right on the spot".[4] [5]
This song was never performed live by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts[6] until their reunion show on 10
December 2007 at The O2 in London. An arrangement was also worked out for the Coverdale and Page tour of
Japan in 1993, but never executed live.[7]

"Friends" is the second track from the 1970 album Led Zeppelin III, the third studio album of English rock band Led
Zeppelin. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they
stayed after completing a grueling concert tour of the United States.[1]
The song starts out with a little noodling and studio chatter. Peter Grant's voice can be heard in the background, of
the right channel, before the guitars of Jimmy Page kick in. The guitar tuning for the song is an open-C6 chord
(C-A-C-G-C-E). The same tuning was used by Page on the track "Bron-Yr-Aur" (which was recorded during these
same sessions), as well as the song "Poor Tom".[2] Page used an Altair Tube Limiter to enhance the acoustic quality
of his Harmony guitar, a device recommended to him by an acoustic guitarist named Dick Rosemenie.[2] This same
device was later used by Page on "All My Love", which was included on Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door
album.[2]
"Friends" is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs that includes strings. Bass player John Paul Jones did the string
arrangement. Some people have expressed surprise at the fact that Jones received no writing credit for this song,
given that he was entirely responsible for its compelling string arrangement.[2]
The outro to "Friends" includes a Moog synthesizer, which provides a link to the next track on the album,
"Celebration Day". The only known live performance of the song by Led Zeppelin was on 29 September 1971 in
Osaka, during the band's Japanese concert tour, as exhibited on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings of the
show. If listened to closely, Page can be heard asking Plant if he wanted to perform the song when John Bonham had
returned from unknown activities backstage.
The song was re-recorded by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with the Bombay Symphony Orchestra in 1972, during
their trip to India, along with another track, "Four Sticks" from Led Zeppelin IV.[3] This version featured tabla drums
and sitars. The recordings have never been released officially and are only available on bootlegs. The project is said
to have run into problems because Page complained that the orchestra didn't keep time in the Western style and some
of them drank rather a lot.[4] "Friends" was also recorded by Page and Plant on their 1994 release No Quarter: Jimmy
Page and Robert Plant Unledded, accompanied by a Middle-Eastern orchestra.

"The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" (also known as "The Girl I Love") is a song performed by
English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded by the BBC on June 16, 1969 for Chris Grant's Tasty Pop Sundae
show during the band's U.K. Tour of Summer 1969, being broadcast on June 22, 1969. The song eventually found its
way onto the Led Zeppelin album BBC Sessions, released in 1997. This is the only known performance of the song
by the band, as no other audio document has been unearthed of it being performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.
The guitar riff played by Jimmy Page that drives this song is similar to Bobby Parker's 1961 song "Watch Your
Step" which charted in the US and the UK. It is also very similar to that played by Page on the later Led Zeppelin
track "Moby Dick", released in October 1969 on the album Led Zeppelin II. The lyrics in the first verse are a
variation on the 1929 blues recording "The Girl I Love She Got Long Curley Hair" by Sleepy John Estes. The lyrics
in the rest of the song are paraphrases of various blues songs or themes.

"Going to California" is a song performed by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their fourth album, released in
1971.
Overview
The song's wistful folk-style sound, with Robert Plant on lead vocals, acoustic guitar by Jimmy Page and mandolin
by John Paul Jones, contrasts with the heavy electric-amplified rock on four of the album's other tracks. Page's guitar
is in double drop D tuning: DADGBD.
The song is reportedly about Canadian singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell, with whom Plant and Page were both
infatuated. In live performances of the song, Plant would often say the name "Joni" after this stanza (which is
thought to have referenced Mitchell's 1967 composition "I Had a King"):
To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
In an interview he gave to Spin magazine in 2002, Plant stated that the song "might be a bit embarrassing at times
lyrically, but it did sum up a period of my life when I was 22."[1] In a 2007 interview with the same magazine, Plant
stated that the song was about "Me reflecting on the first years of the group, when I was only about... 20, and was
struggling to find myself in the midst of all the craziness of California and the band and the groupies..."
This song started out as a song about Californian earthquakes and when Jimmy Page, audio engineer Andy Johns and
band manager Peter Grant travelled to Los Angeles to mix the album, they coincidentally experienced a minor
earthquake.[2] At this point it was known as "Guide to California".[2]
At Led Zeppelin concerts the band performed this song during their acoustic sets, first playing it on their Spring
1971 tour of the United Kingdom.[2] One live version, from Led Zeppelin's performance at Earls Court in 1975, is
featured on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD.
It was performed on Plant's solo tours during 1988/1989 and at the Knebworth Silver Clef show in 1990. He played
it again on his Mighty ReArranger tour, with additions of a double bass and a synthesizer.

"Hats Off to (Roy)

Harper"
(10)
"Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" is a song played by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is the last track on the album
Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970. The track features Jimmy Page playing slide guitar, and Robert Plant's vocals,
processed through a tremolo. The song was listed on the album as "Arranged by Charles Obscure," which was a
humorous pseudonym for Page.
The song is a medley of fragments of blues songs and lyrics, including "Shake 'Em on Down" by Bukka White[1]
Therefore, the song is both a tribute to contemporary folk singer Roy Harper and the influential American blues
singer who recorded in the 1960s.
Roy Harper is a folk musician from England whom Jimmy Page met at the Bath Festival in 1970. He became close
friends with members of the band, who invited him to perform as the opening act on some later Led Zeppelin concert
tours. In 1971, Page played on Harper's album Stormcock, appearing in the credits under the pseudonym "S. Flavius
Mercurius." Harper would go on to perform the lead vocals on Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar", from 1975's Wish You
Were Here. In 1985, Page recorded an album with Harper called Whatever Happened to Jugula?. Harper explained:
I used to go up to [Led Zeppelin's] office in Oxford Street, where Peter Grant and Mickie Most would be. And
one day Jimmy was up there and gave me the new record. I just said thanks and put it under my arm. Jimmy
said "Look at it". So I twirled the little wheel around and put it back under my arm. Very nice and all that. So
he went "Look at it!" Then I discovered Hats Off To (Roy) Harper. I was very touched.[2]
According to Page, during recording sessions for Led Zeppelin III, the band "did a whole set of country blues and
traditional blues numbers that Robert [Plant] suggested. But ["Hats Off to (Roy) Harper"] was the only one we put
on the record."[3]
"Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" begins with a strange audio snippet from the sessions which is quickly introduced and
then faded out again, featuring Plant's voice and Page's slide guitar in tandem.
An alternate studio outtake of the track in the same style and similar instrumentation is available on some Led
Zeppelin bootleg recordings. Likely from the same recording session as the official release, it features lyrics from the
songs "Feel So Bad," (recorded by Otis Rush and Elvis Presley), Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" &
"32-20 Blues", Sleepy John Estes' "Diving Duck Blues", Bukka White's "Fixin' To Die", and Arthur Crudup's "That
Alright Mama."[1] These songs were frequently performed in medley by the band at Led Zeppelin concerts during

"How Many More Times" and, later, "Whole Lotta Love." Thus, this outtake perhaps gives insight into the
inspiration for the track, a desire to lay down an acoustic, studio take of a staple of their live performances. However,
Led Zeppelin never performed "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper" live in concert.[1]

"Heartbreaker" is a song from English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1969 album, Led Zeppelin II. It was credited to all
four members of the band, having been recorded at A&R Studios, New York, during the band's second concert tour
of the United States, and was engineered by Eddie Kramer.
"Heartbreaker" opens Side II of the album, and is famous for its memorable guitar riff by Jimmy Page, along with its
unaccompanied solo, which he did not compose but rather improvised on the spot. It was voted as the 16th greatest
guitar solo of all time by Guitar World magazine. "Heartbreaker" was ranked #320 in 2004 by Rolling Stone
magazine, in their 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Structure
The song begins on beat 4, bending the minor 7th (G) up to the root (A), kicking off an aggressive riff constructed
around the blues scale, followed by a powerful power chord assault during the verse from not only the guitar but the
bass playing power chords also (through a rotating Leslie cabinet). (citation?) Robert Plant sings about a woman
named Annie, who is up to her old tricks again; the lyrics recall a tale of a man painfully wizened after their
encounters.
Following a straight 8ths "rave up" by the band, Page's solo fires off a rapid-fire chain of sextuplet hammer-ons and
pull-offs, accented by the guitarist bending the G String behind the guitar's nut. Page plays a few bluesy licks before
launching into a "wall of notes" motif in A, finally, bringing it to an end with a blues clich "goodbye chord." The
rest of the band joins Page for another improvisation as an interlude into the final verse.
In an interview Page gave to Guitar World magazine in 1998, Page stated that:
[T]he interesting thing about the [guitar] solo is that it was recorded after we had already finished
"Heartbreaker" - it was an afterthought. That whole section was recorded in a different studio and it was sort of
slotted in the middle. If you notice, the whole sound of the guitar is different.[1]
Page also disclosed to Guitar World that this song in general, and the a cappella solo in particular, was the first
recorded instance of his famous Gibson Les Paul/Marshall Stack combination.
When "Heartbreaker" is played on radio stations, it almost always segues into the next song on the album, "Living
Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)," thanks to the similarities of subjects involved between the two songs, and the
"Heartbreaker"
fact that "Living Loving Maid" segues directly from "Heartbreaker". However, they would never be played together
at concerts, purportedly because Jimmy Page was not particularly fond of the latter song.
Live history
The song was a crowd favorite at Led Zeppelin concerts, and the band opened many of their live shows in 1971 and
1972 with "Immigrant Song" followed by a segue right into "Heartbreaker". On later concert tours it was often
played as an encore. "Heartbreaker", along with "Communication Breakdown", were the only songs to be played live
during every year that the band toured.
During live performances Page would frequently improvise the playing in his solo, and was also known to include
parts of Bach's "Bourre in E minor" from his Lute Suites (this can be heard on the live albums Led Zeppelin BBC
Sessions and How the West Was Won), as well as Simon and Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin'
Groovy)", though on official releases this section has been cut. Sometimes the solo would also be stretched out to
incorporate sections of the traditional English folk song, "Greensleeves".
A live, filmed version of the song from 1973 at Madison Square Garden, New York, is included in the Led Zeppelin
concert film, The Song Remains The Same, although it is only shown in parts. For many years, this recorded version
was left off the film's accompanying soundtrack album, until the album was remastered and re-released in 2007, with
the full performance of the song included.
Led Zeppelin's last performance ever of the song was on June 29th, 1980, in Zurich. Following Bonham's death, the
surviving members of Led Zeppelin performed "Heartbreaker" at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in
1988, at Madison Square Garden in New York, with John's son Jason Bonham on drums. Jimmy Page also
performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "Heartbreaker" performed by Page and
The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.
Influence
"Heartbreaker" is one of the songs featured in Nick Hornby's book 31 Songs. Record producer Rick Rubin has
remarked, "One of the greatest riffs in rock. It ["Heartbreaker"] starts, and it's like they don't really know where the
"one" is. Magical in its awkwardness."[2] Steve Vai has also commented about it in a September 1998 Guitar World
interview: "This one [Heartbreaker] had the biggest impact on me as a youth. It was defiant, bold, and edgier than
hell. It really is the definitive rock guitar solo."[3] Alternative rock band Nirvana covered the song during their first
show on March 7, 1987 in Raymond Washington. The cover was only released on the box set With the Lights Out.

"Hots On for Nowhere" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin released in 1976 on their album Presence.
The basic structure of this song can be traced to rehearsal sessions for Led Zeppelin's sixth album, Physical Graffiti,
as well as the 1975-era live versions of the song "Dazed and Confused".[1] One of the interludes (first heard at
around 0:38) can also be heard in Walter's Walk, as well as the snippets of the song included in certain extended live
versions of Dazed and Confused.
The lyrics were written by Robert Plant about his frustrations with Jimmy Page and Peter Grant.[1] Page used a lake
placid blue 1960 Fender Stratocaster for the recording of this song, as can be heard from his use of this guitar's
tremolo arm.[1]
The word "fuck" is almost used in the lyrics. Plant says "fluck" at the end of the song's first verse ("...time and his
bride growing older, I got friends who will give me fluck all..."). Whether the addition of the L is deliberate, it is
obvious that the correct word should be pronounced without the L. It is the second time the word shows up in one of
the band's songs, as Jimmy Page can be heard muttering it during studio chatter before the start of the song "Friends"
on Led Zeppelin III.
This song was never performed live by the group at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1] However, Jimmy Page later performed
it with The Black Crowes on their 2000 US tour.
"Hots On for Nowhere" was used in the film Dogtown and Z-Boys (2001), one of the few times the band allowed a
number from its catalogue to be used in a motion picture.

"Houses of the Holy" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album, Physical Graffiti. The
track is a mid-tempo rock song, heavy on bass and featuring a distinctive Jimmy Page guitar riff. In order to create
the layered guitar introduction and fade-out, Page used a Delta T digital delay unit.[1] The squeak of John Bonham's
drum pedal can be heard throughout the song.
Lyrically, the song is an ode to Led Zeppelin concerts, with the "Houses of the Holy" referring to the arenas and
auditoriums in which the band performed. Despite this, the song was never played live by Led Zeppelin.[1] However,
Robert Plant performed it with the Band of Joy during his 2010 solo tour.[2]
Although the name of the song is "Houses of the Holy," the track does not appear on the earlier-released album
Houses of the Holy. It was originally set to be the title track of that album but was removed when the band decided it
did not fit. The song did not require any further re-mixing for its inclusion on Physical Graffiti, having already been
fully mixed by audio engineer Eddie Kramer at the Electric Lady sessions in June 1972.[1]
Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked, "This is a funk jam with really interesting, jazzy chords. It's one of their
more compact feeling songs. And it's the only Zep song to use what sounds like a cowbell."[3]

"How Many More

Times"
(9)
"How Many More Times" is the ninth and final track on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1969 debut album Led
Zeppelin. The song is credited in the album liner to Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham, but is listed by
ASCAP as written by all four members of the band.[1]
Album version
At eight and a half minutes, "How Many More Times" is the longest song on the album. It consists of several smaller
sections held together by a bolero rhythm that pushes the piece along. At the end, the song pans between the left and
right channels. Elements of this song are faintly reminiscent of previously-recorded instrumental "Beck's Bolero" by
Jeff Beck, on which Jimmy Page had played guitar and John Paul Jones bass guitar. This was one of three Led
Zeppelin songs on which Page used bowed guitar,[2] the others being "Dazed and Confused" and "In the Light".
Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham were credited with writing this song.
Howlin' Wolf, the late Chester Burnett, had recorded a song called "How Many More Years" in 1951, and all new
Led Zeppelin releases since 1993 have co-credited the song to the Burnett via arrangement with his publishing
company, ARC Music. Cover versions by many artists, such as the LA Guns 1999 version on the album Shrinking
Violet, however, are not credited to Burnett.
As with all the other tracks on Led Zeppelin's debut album, Robert Plant didn't get a writing credit for this song due
to unexpired contractual obligations.
Though listed at a time of 3:30 on the album sleeve, the correct length of the track is in fact 8:28. The incorrect
listing was deliberate as it was intended to help promote radio play. Page knew that radio stations would never play a
song over eight minutes long, so he wrote the track time as shorter on the album to trick radio stations into playing it.
In an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993, Page stated that the song "was made up of little pieces I
developed when I was with the Yardbirds, as were other numbers such as "Dazed and Confused". It was played live
in the studio with cues and nods."[3]
It has also been reported that the "Rosie" and "Hunter" components of the song came spontaneously to the group on
the night of the recording session.[2] The "hunter" component is reworked from "The Hunter" recorded by bluesman
Albert King with Booker T & the MGs.[4] [5]
Live performances
On early Led Zeppelin concert tours, "How Many More Times" was often the band's closing number. By late 1969,
the intro of the song would be quite extended and the band would incorporate more and more material into the song
as a medley. An example of such a performance is included on the same DVD, during the Royal Albert Hall concert.
During the "Bolero" section, Plant quotes Neil Young's "On the Way Home" in this version. After "The Hunter," the
band typically performed John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillin'," with lyrics ad-libbed from other sources, and
"Travelin' Little Mama." They would often play a snippet of "The Lemon Song" and "That's Alright Mama" as well,
before returning to "How Many More Times" at the moment where they left off, the conclusion of "The Hunter." The
typical medley pattern ("Boogie Chillen" followed by improvisational set of covers and finally a slow blues and a
return to the main song) would later be incorporated into "Whole Lotta Love," as demonstrated on Led Zeppelin BBC
Sessions and How the West Was Won.
In 1970, "How Many More Times" was dropped from Led Zeppelin's typical setlist, although they would continue to
perform it on occasion until the early stages of their 1975 North American tour, when it was re-introduced in full as a
result of Jimmy Page's injured finger, which temporarily prevented him from playing the more challenging "Dazed
and Confused".[2] It was also played once in 1973, on 22 January, while the band was touring the United Kingdom.
The song appeared on the soundtrack album for the 1970 coming of age film Homer.[6]
Page and Plant would also play the song on their Walking into Clarksdale tour in 1998, releasing their Shepherd's
Bush performance on a CD single.

"I Can't Quit You Baby" is a blues standard written by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Chicago blues artist Otis
Rush, one of the leading exponents of the "West Side Sound."[1] The song, a slow 12-bar blues, was a vehicle for
arranger/producer Dixon to launch Rush and Cobra Records, as it was the first single for both.[2] In this regards, it
was a success, reaching #6 in the Billboard R&B chart in 1956.[3] In his autobiography, Willie Dixon explained that
"I Can't Quit You Baby" was written about a relationship that Rush seemed to be preoccupied with at the time and
that Dixon used that to draw out an impassioned performance by Rush.[2]
Otis Rush revisited "I Can't Quit You Baby" several times over the years, most notably when he recorded the song
for the 1966 blues compilation Chicago|The Blues|Today! Vol. 2 (Vanguard 79217). This version featured an altered
arrangement with an unusual turnaround (tonic chord followed by a half-step above the tonic chord) and staccato
guitar fills. This is the version on which most cover versions would be based. John Mayall's Bluesbreakers covered it
on the 1967 Crusade album (Decca SKL 4890/London PS 529). In 1969, Little Milton (Checker 1212) and the
song's author Willie Dixon (Columbia PC 9987) also covered it. Since then it has been recorded by many blues and
other artists.[4] Otis Rush's original Cobra single "I Can't Quit You Baby" was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame
in 1994.[5]

English rock band Led Zeppelin recorded "I Can't Quit You Baby" for their multi-platinum 1969 debut album Led
Zeppelin.[6] [7] Their rendition generally follows Otis Rush's 1966 Vanguard version, but with different
instrumentation and dynamics.[8] It also incorporates a break during the guitar solo where Jimmy Page plays a
four-bar unaccompanied set-up before relaunching into the solo. Although missing the turnaround coming out of the
solo, "I Can't Quit You Baby" "ends up as one of the most successful pieces on the first album, with no flat spots and
a perfectly symmetrical form, all within the classic blues tradition."[8]
Led Zeppelin regularly performed "I Can't Quit You Baby" in concert from 1968 to early 1970.[9] Two live versions
from 1969 are included on the 1997 Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions. A performance of the song on 9 January 1970 at
Royal Albert Hall is included on the 2003 Led Zeppelin (DVD) (an edited version of this performance was released
on the 1982 Coda album). In 1970, the song was dropped from Led Zeppelin's typical concert lineup as they
incorporated material from Led Zeppelin III into their shows, with "I Can't Quit You Baby" essentially being
replaced by "Since I've Been Loving You." It was however revived as part of the "Whole Lotta Love" medley during
some Led Zeppelin concerts in 1972 and 1973.[9] The song was rehearsed by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin
for the 14 May 1988 Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Celebration, but was not performed during the event.[9]

"I'm Gonna Crawl" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the Out Door. It was
composed by John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
Overview
Heavily influenced by the American 1960s soul-blues style of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, the music to "I'm
Gonna Crawl" was in large part composed by Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones.[1] The song tells of a girl
that "drives me crazy... she's the apple of my eye. I love the lady. I got to be her fool." However, Plant's passionate
delivery, as well as the line "Every little bit of my love," is actually in tribute to his daughter, who was still in the
mother's womb, who had a miscarriage.
"I'm Gonna Crawl" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts,[1] but drummer John Bonham noted this as
one of Plant's best vocal performances.
However the song was performed during Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience in 2011.

"In My Time of Dying" is a modern name given to a traditional gospel music song that has been covered by many
rock musicians since the early 1960s. One of the first versions recorded was by Blind Willie Johnson under the title
'Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed'.
Bob Dylan version

The song gained greater prominence in popular music when Bob Dylan included a version (along with several others
dealing with the subject of death) on his 1962 eponymous debut album. The song had a slightly different name on
the Dylan album, "In My Time of Dyin'" (as did the later Shocking Blue cover). On the liner notes to the album:
"Dylan had never sung In My Time of Dyin' prior to this recording session. He does not recall where he first heard it.
The guitar is fretted (i.e., he plays slide guitar) with the lipstick holder he borrowed from his girl, Suze Rotolo, who
sat devotedly and wide-eyed through the recording session."
Dylan's version is likely based on Joshua White's 1933 recording and arrangement.[1] The song's running time is
2:40.
John Sebastian version

John Sebastian's version of the song, under the title "Well, Well, Well," is the opening selection on his 1971 album
The Four of Us. Sebastian's arrangement, credited to Joshua White, is lyrically similar to Dylan's, but features an
up-tempo blues-rock approach with no slide guitar. The musicians on this version, which was produced by Paul A.
Rothchild, include Sebastian (guitar and vocal), Paul Harris (keyboards), Greg Reeves (bass), and Dallas Taylor
(percussion).
With a running time of 2:20, "Well, Well, Well" is one-fifth as long as the rendition of the song Led Zeppelin would
record three years later.

Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" was released on their sixth album Physical Graffiti; it is the third song on the
album, and closes Side 1 of the album's original double-LP configuration. At 11:05, it is the longest studio track on
any Led Zeppelin studio album, but contains no long instrumental passages despite its extended timing. As Physical
Graffiti was exceptionally successful commercially, achieving RIAA 16x Platinum status, Led Zeppelin's rendition
of the song is probably the most widely known one.
Lyrical inspiration for their version appears to come from Blind Willie Johnson's recording. Despite this, however,
Led Zeppelin's version of the song is credited to the group's musicians Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones
and John Bonham, and is registered with the copyright association ASCAP with the unique title code 390282185.[2]
Jimmy Page's guitar tuning for this song is an open A chord (E / A / E / A / C# / E from bottom to top), and (with
"When the Levee Breaks" and "Traveling Riverside Blues") is one of the most recognisable instances of Page's slide
playing on a Led Zeppelin recording. John Paul Jones played a fretless bass. Meanwhile, the distinctive, powerful
drumming sounds of John Bonham were recorded in the same way as those on the track "When the Levee Breaks"
from Led Zeppelin's fourth album.[3]
Because of its improvisational nature the band never had a rehearsed ending for the song. The studio version ends
with: "I'm going to make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'..." After a few seconds of silence followed by a
dramatically-feigned coughing fit (likely by John Bonham) is heard. Playing along, Plant quips "cough" as an apt
final word for the song. Bonham can then be heard exclaiming, "That's gonna be the one, isn't it?", referring to that
particular take. This is followed by a different voice (likely that of recording engineer Andy Johns) saying through
the talk-back microphone "Come have a listen, then." Bonham then releases the clutch of his hi-hat and says (rather
sheepishly) "Oh, yes. Thank you."
In the May 2008 issue of Uncut Magazine, Page elaborated on the humorous reaction in the studio which can be
heard at the end of the song:
We were just having such a wonderful time. Look, we had a framework for "In My Time Of Dying", Ok, but
then it just takes off and we're just doing what Led Zeppelin do. We're jamming. We're having a ball. We. Are.
Playing.[4]
Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked on the song's structure, "The bass line in the fast grooves is so interesting
and unexpected. It keeps shifting gears, over and over."[5]

"In My Time of Dying" was played during Led Zeppelin's 1975 and 1977 concert tours, where Robert Plant
sarcastically dedicated the song to the British Labour Party's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, for the tax
exile issues the band was facing. When played live, the band tuned the song down one step. Although performed in
1977, Plant initially was not keen on singing the song after suffering a near-fatal car crash in 1975, due to its
fatalistic lyrical theme.[3] This was one of the few live songs where Page switched to his black and white Danelectro
guitar, which he also used for "White Summer" and "Kashmir". One live version of "In My Time of Dying", from
Led Zeppelin's performance at Earls Court on 24 May 1975, is featured on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD, and its
promotional sampler.
Page performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "In My Time of Dying"
performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek. Page also included the song
as part of his solo Outrider tour.
"In My Time of Dying" was performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December
2007.

"In the Evening" is the first song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's eighth studio album, In Through the Out
Door, released in 1979. The track has a synthesizer-driven sound backed by a gargantuan guitar repetition.
Overview
The track features an extended droning introductory section led by Jimmy Page on guitar. Page used a Gizmotron to
create the droning effects and sliding solo at the beginning of the song,[1] as well as a Mellotron to create the
'slamming door' effect heard at the onset of the guitar solo.(Page would play a very similar section to the intro of "In
the Evening" during "Dazed and Confused" using a violin bow, as can be heard on bootleg recordings of Led
Zeppelin's concert at Tampa Stadium in 1973).
During live performances 1979-1980, Page's violin bow incorporated a laser strobe, which added to the visual
effects. "In the Evening" was also one of the few songs that he performed on his 1964 Fender Stratocaster. The
Stratocaster's whammy bar was used giving that riff a distinctive diving sound during the solo. John Paul Jones
played bass pedals instead of bass guitar (he was playing synthesizer simultaneously).
The creation of this song can be traced largely to Led Zeppelin bassist and keyboardist, John Paul Jones. When the
band was recording this album, Page and drummer John Bonham would usually show up at the studio very late and
work through the night. In their absence, "In the Evening" started out with just drums and keyboards created by
Jones, who had a new drum machine to work with.
The song was performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts during 1979 and 1980. During the 1979 performances, this
song would be played directly after Page's guitar distortion solo.[2] One such live version, from Led Zeppelin's
performance at Knebworth in 1979, can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD. Performances on the Tour Over Europe
1980 could last more than eight minutes.
Plant revived the song on his Now and Zen solo tour in 1988. Also, in 1996, this song was played on some concerts
of Page and Plant's tour.

"In the Light" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. Most of it was
composed by bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones on his synthesizer. It was based on an earlier song the band had
written called "In The Morning" (aka "Take Me Home").[1]
The unique sound of the intro to the song was created by Jimmy Page using a violin bow on an acoustic guitar. This
was one of three Led Zeppelin songs on which Page used bowed guitar, the others being "Dazed and Confused" and
"How Many More Times" (although for both of these he used a bow to play an electric guitar). The song "In the
Evening" utilized a guitar equipped with a device called the "Gizmotron" to mimic the bow sound.
"In the Light" was never played live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1] According to Jones, Robert Plant was emphatic
about wanting to play the song onstage, but because Jones could not reproduce the synthesizer sound properly
outside of the studio, he vetoed the idea.
In an interview he gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's
"finest moments".[2] Similarly, Page has stated that this is his personal favourite track on Physical Graffiti.[1] He
performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. Although not included on their original album Live
at the Greek, a version of "In the Light" can be found as a bonus track on the Japanese version of this album,
released in 2000.

"Kashmir" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their sixth album Physical Graffiti, released in
1975. It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (with contributions from John Bonham) over a period of three
years, with the lyrics dating back to 1973.
Overview
The song centres around a signature chord progression guitar riff, which first appeared on Page's home-studio work
tapes.[1] It was initially created in a guitar tuning D-A-D-G-A-D, and was an extension of a guitar-cycle that Page
had been working on for years. This was the same cycle that produced "Black Mountain Side", "White Summer" and
the unreleased track, "Swan-song".[1] As bass player and keyboardist John Paul Jones had been late for the recording
sessions, Page used the time to work on the riff with drummer John Bonham. The two demoed it late in 1973.[2]
Plant later added the middle section and in early 1974 Jones added all the string parts.[1] [2]
The guitar was played in an alternative guitar tuning: the strings are tuned to 'Open Dsus4' or DADGAD. Bonham's
drums feature a phasing effect (giving the bass drum its heavy, thundering "thump" sound) courtesy of an early
Eventide phaser supplied by engineer Ron Nevison.[3] Plant has stated that Bonham's drumming is the key to the
song: "It was what he didn't do that made it work".[1]
The song also includes many distinctive musical patterns of classical Moroccan, Indian and Middle Eastern music.
Page explained that "I had a sitar for some time and I was interested in modal tunings and Arabic stuff. It started off
with a riff and then employed Eastern lines underneath."[4]
Orchestral brass and strings with electric guitar and mellotron strings are also used in the song. This is one of the few
Led Zeppelin songs to use outside musicians. Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections.[2]
According to Jones, "the secret of successful keyboard string parts is to play only the parts that a real string section
would play. That is, one line for the First Violins, one line for Second Violins, one for Violas, one for Cellos, one for
Basses. Some divided parts [two or more notes to a line] are allowed, but keep them to a minimum. Think
melodically".[5]
The lyrics to the songoriginally called "Driving to Kashmir"were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after
Led Zeppelin's 1973 US Tour, in an area he called "the waste lands"[4] of Southern Morocco, while driving from
"Kashmir"
314
Goulimine to Tantan in the Sahara Desert.[1] [2] This was despite the fact that the song is named for Kashmir, a
region in the northwestern part of the Himalayas.[6] As Plant explained to rock journalist Cameron Crowe:
The whole inspiration came from the fact that the road went on and on and on. It was a single-track road which
neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the East and West were ridges of sandrock. It basically looked like
you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it. 'Oh, let the sun
beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams...' It's one of my favourites...that, 'All My Love' and 'In the
Light' and two or three others really were the finest moments. But 'Kashmir' in particular. It was so positive,
lyrically.[1]
Plant has also commented on the challenges he faced in writing lyrics for such a complex piece of music:
It was an amazing piece of music to write to, and an incredible challenge for me ... Because of the time
signature, the whole deal of the song is not grandiose, but powerful: it required some kind of epithet, or
abstract lyrical setting about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a series of illuminated
moments. But everything is not what you see. It was quite a task, cause I couldnt sing it. It was like the song
was bigger than me. Its true: I was petrified, its true. It was painful; I was virtually in tears.[7]
In an interview he gave to William S. Burroughs in 1975, Page mentioned that at the time the song was composed,
none of the band members had even been to Kashmir.[8]
The song runs for 8:32,[9] a length that radio stations usually consider too long to play. However, upon its release
radio stations had no problem playing "Kashmir", especially after seeing "Stairway to Heaven", which was almost as
long, do so well. (Original LP releases of Physical Graffiti incorrectly list the song's length as 9:41.)
Live performances
"Kashmir" was played live at almost every Led Zeppelin concert from its debut in 1975. One live version, from Led
Zeppelin's performance at Knebworth in 1979, is featured on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD. This performance
came from the band's first show at the venue on 4 August. The surviving members also performed the song at the
Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988. It was again performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the
The O2, London on 10 December 2007.
When the band performed the song live, Robert Plant would switch the last verse with the second verse after singing
the first verse normally. The original second verse was "With talk and song of tongues of lifting grace...", but live, he
would sing the fourth verse as the second verse, and the second verse as the fourth verse. The original fourth verse
was "Oh father of the four winds, fill my sails..".
The third verse would also be sung normally in its original spot. When Led Zeppelin came together for Atlantic
Records 40th Anniversary, Robert accidentally sang the second verse twice. He admitted to doing this by singing
"Oh father of the four winds fill my sails (again) across the sea of years" during the fourth verse. He never ended up
singing the third verse ("Oh pilot of the storm...") before the mistake. However, he did sing "With talk and song from
tongues..." during the third verse while trying to correct it by singing "I will return again..." half way through.
Plant, known generally for his improvisation while performing live, would ad lib during live performances of
"Kashmir". He would add in "sweet mama", "slowly dyin'", "now just a minute", "sweet darlin'", and he would
stutter the words "baby" and "mama". He would also end that section with "there's no denyin'" and "Woman, talkin'
to ya!"
Page and Plant recorded another live version of "Kashmir" in 1994, released on their album No Quarter: Jimmy Page
and Robert Plant Unledded. For this arrangement, they added an orchestra and Egyptian musicians.

Accolades
All four members of Led Zeppelin have agreed that "Kashmir" is one of their best musical achievements.[10] John
Paul Jones suggested that it showcases all of the elements that made up the Led Zeppelin sound.[1] Plant has stated
that "Kashmir" is the "definitive Led Zeppelin song",[11] and that it "was one of my favourite [Led] Zeppelin tracks
because it possessed all the latent energy and power that wasn't heavy metal. It was something else. It was the pride
of Led Zeppelin."[4] During a television interview in January 2008, he also named "Kashmir" as his first choice of all
Led Zeppelin songs that he would perform, commenting "I'm most proud of that one".[12] Page has indicated he
thinks that the song is one of the band's best compositions.[13]
Led Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis describes "Kashmir" as:
Unquestionably the most startling and impressive track on Physical Graffiti, and arguably the most progressive
and original track that Led Zeppelin ever recorded. 'Kashmir' went a long way towards establishing their
credibility with otherwise sceptical rock critics. Many would regard this track as the finest example of the
sheer majesty of Zeppelin's special chemistry.[2]

Samples and copies

The 1988 Schoolly D song "Signifying Rapper", which samples "Kashmir", was the target of lawsuits following its
use in the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant.[24] In 1994, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant successfully sued Home Box Office
to have the song removed from televised showings of the film[25] and Live Home Video and distributor Aries Film
Releasing were ordered to destroy any unsold copies of Bad Lieutenant as part of a copyright infringement ruling.[26]
Director Abel Ferrara was angered by the incident, which he felt "ruined the movie".
The tune was subsequently sampled with permission by Sean "Puffy" Combs in his song "Come With Me" from the
soundtrack to the movie Godzilla (1998). Jimmy Page, who endorsed Combs' adaptation, appears in the video and
also played it with him on Saturday Night Live.
The opening riff of the 1992 song "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine is adapted from the opening chords of
Kashmir . Snippets of the song were used in the X Factor series 3 (2006) and in the German TV show TV Total.
The song has been adapted and is regularly performed live by Quebecois singer Bruno Pelletier into his song, "S'en
aller."
Movies
The song was employed on the soundtrack to the French 1977 action-adventure film Le Crabe-Tambour (The
Drummer Crab).[27]
In the movie Ocean's 12, Linus (Matt Damon) requests to play a more central role in the heist and convinces Danny
(George Clooney) and Rusty (Brad Pitt) to let him join them in the meeting with a contact named Matsui. In the
meeting, Matsui, Danny and Rusty speak in a strange, metaphorical code-language. When it comes to Linus's turn to
say something, who is already baffled as he cannot understand what the other are saying, he can't think of anything
so he recites the first two lines of the song. However, Matsui takes this as an insult and Linus is forced to wait
outside for the remainder of the interview. When Danny and Rusty come outside afterwards, Rusty asks him
"Kashmir?"
In the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Damone tells his friend "Rat" (Mark) "When it comes down to making
out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV." When he's on his date, he's blasting Kashmir, from
Physical Graffiti, not IV.

"LA Drone" is a short piece of music that the English rock band Led Zeppelin played as an intro tape on the second
half of their 1972 concert tour of the United States. It began their concert performances from June 15, 1972 up until
June 28, 1972.
The monotonous drone was produced by Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones and guitarist Jimmy Page
by playing an acoustic guitar with a violin bow in the key of F# and layering the various sounds it produced. The
tape of this piece, played through the venue's PA, segued directly into the band's opening number, "Immigrant
Song". The drone was intended to build a sense of suspense and anticipation in the concert audience.
The only official release of the piece has been a brief excerpt used as the opening track on How the West Was Won.
This captures the recording of "LA Drone" at the Long Beach Arena on June 27, 1972. Despite being only 0:14 on
the live album, it was usually closer to a 1:30 in live performances, as can be heard on a number of Led Zeppelin
bootleg recordings.
"LA Drone" can also be heard on the Led Zeppelin DVD, being included on disc 2 at the introduction of the band's
performance of "Immigrant Song". However, unlike How the West Was Won, the DVD does not include "LA Drone"
on the track listing. Also, the DVD features a 0:25 version of the song which is eleven seconds longer than the album
version.

"The Lemon Song" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. It
was recorded at Mystic Studios in Hollywood when the band was on their second concert tour of the United States.
"The Lemon Song" is laced with sexual innuendo, and features some of Led Zeppelin's most blues-influenced
playing. It was recorded virtually live in the studio, and no electronic devices were used to create the echo on Robert
Plant's vocal. It was made solely by Plant's voice and the acoustics in Mystic Studios, which was a 16 x 16 foot room
with wooden walls.[1]
Another notable aspect of this song is John Paul Jones' complex bass performance, which is heavily funk influenced.
During interviews afterwards, he said that he had improvised during the entire song.
"The Lemon Song" was performed live on Led Zeppelin's first three concert tours of the United States (on the first
tour as "Killing Floor"), before being dropped from their live set in late 1969. However, the 'squeeze my lemon'
sequence continued to be inserted into the "Whole Lotta Love" medley and ad-libbed elsewhere.[1]
The song borrows from Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor", which was a song Led Zeppelin often incorporated into their
live setlist during their first concert tour of the United States. For the second and third North American tours the song
evolved into "The Lemon Song", with Plant often improvising lyrics onstage.
Other lyrics, notably "squeeze (my lemon) 'til the juice runs down my leg," can be traced to Robert Johnson's
"Travelling Riverside Blues". It is likely that Johnson borrowed this himself, from a song recorded in the same year
(1937) called "She Squeezed My Lemon" (by Arthur McKay).[2] The song also borrowed from Albert King's
"Cross-Cut Saw".[1]
In December 1972, Arc Music, owner of the publishing rights to Howlin' Wolf's songs, sued Led Zeppelin for
copyright infringement on "The Lemon Song."[3] The parties settled out of court. Though the amount was not
disclosed, Wolf received a check for $45,123 from Arc Music immediately following the suit, and subsequent
releases included a co-songwriter credit for him.[4] [5]
Jimmy Page performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "The Lemon Song"
performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.

"The Maid Freed from the Gallows" is one of many titles of a centuries-old folk song about a condemned maiden
pleading for someone to buy her freedom from the executioner. In the collection of ballads compiled by Francis
James Child, it is indexed as Child Ballad number 95; eleven variants, some fragmentary, are indexed as 95A to
95K.[1] The ballad existed in a number of folkloric variants from many different countries, and has been remade in a
variety of formats. It was recorded in 1939 as "The Gallis Pole" by folk singer Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, but
the most famous version was the 1970 arrangement of the Fred Gerlach version by English rock band Led Zeppelin,
which was entitled "Gallows Pole" on the album Led Zeppelin III.
Synopsis
Although it exists in many forms, all versions recount a similar story. A maid (a young woman) about to be hanged
(for unknown reasons) pleads with the hangman, or judge, to wait for the arrival of someone who may bribe him.
The first person (or people) to arrive, who may include the father, mother, brother, and sister, have brought nothing
and often have come to see her hanged. The last person to arrive, often her true love, has brought the gold to save
her.[1] Although the traditional versions do not resolve the fate of the condemned one way or the other, it may be
presumed that the bribe would succeed. She may curse all those who failed her.
The typical refrain would be:
"Hangman, hangman, hangman / slack your rope awhile.
I think I see my father / ridin many a mile.
Father, did you bring any silver? / father, did you bring any gold,
Or did you come to see me / hangin from the gallows pole?"
"No, I didnt bring any silver, / no I didnt bring any gold.
I just come to see you / hangin from the gallows pole."
It has been suggested that the reference to "gold" may not mean actual gold for a bribe, but may instead stand for the
symbolic restoration of the maid's honor, perhaps by proof of her innocence or fidelity.[2] [3] Such an interpretation
would explain why a number of variations of the song have the maid (or a male condemned) asking whether their
visitors had brought them gold or paid their fee. In at least one version, the reply comes that "I haven't brought you
gold/ But I have paid your fee."[4]
The song is also known as "The Prickly Bush", a title derived from the oft-used refrain lamenting the maid's
situation by likening it to being caught in briery bush, wherein the brier prickles her heart. In versions carrying this
theme, the typical refrain may add:
O the prickly bush, the prickly bush,
It pricked my heart full sore;
If ever I get out of the prickly bush,
I'll never get in any more.
323
Variants
In some versions, the protagonist is male. This appears to be more prevalent in the United States, where hanging of
women was uncommon.[3] The crime for which the protagonist faces hanging is occasionally mentioned. The woman
may be being held for ransom by pirates; or, she has stolen something from her employer. Other instances tell of her
having lost a treasured golden ball,[5] [6] or indicate that she is being hanged for fornication.
The most extensive version is not a song at all, but a fairy story titled "The Golden Ball", collected by Joseph Jacobs
in More English Fairy Tales. It encompasses the theme of the song. The story focuses more on the exploits of the
fianc who must recover a golden ball in order to save his love from the noose; the incident resembles The Story of
the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was.[7] Other fairy tales in the English language, telling the story
more fully, always retell some variant on the heroine being hanged for losing an object of gold.[8]
Origin
The song likely originated in a language other than English. Some fifty versions have been reported in Finland,[9]
where it is well known as Lunastettava neito. It is titled Den Bortslda in Sweden, and Die Losgekaufte in German.
A Lithuanian version has the maid asking relatives to ransom her with their best animals or belongings (sword,
house, crown, ring etc.). The maiden curses her relatives who refuse to give up their property, and blesses her fianc,
who does ransom her.[10]
In a Hungarian version called "Feher Anna," collected by Bla Bartk in his study The Hungarian Folk Song, Anna's
brother Lazlo is imprisoned for stealing horses. Anna sleeps with Judge Horvat to free him, but is unsuccessful in
sparing his life. She regales the judge with 13 curses.
Francis James Child found the English version "defective and distorted", in that, in most cases, the narrative rationale
had been lost and only the ransoming sequence remained. Numerous European variants explain the reason for the
ransom: the heroine has been captured by pirates.[11] Of the texts he prints, one (95F) had "degenerated" into a
children's game, while others had survived as part of a Northern English cante-fable, The Golden Ball (or Key).[11]
Child describes additional examples from the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Russia, and Slovenia. Several of these feature a
man being ransomed by a woman.[11]
The theme of delaying one's execution while awaiting rescue by relatives appears with a similar structure in the
classic fairy tale "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault in 1697[12] (translated into English in 1729).

"Gallows Pole" and the era of recorded music

Leadbelly version
Legendary folksinger Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter, who also
popularized such songs as "Cotton Fields" and "Midnight Special" first
recorded "The Gallis Pole" in the 1930s, and set the stage for the song's
popularity today. Lead Belly's rendition, available through Folkways
music and recently re-released by the Library of Congress, differs from
more familiar recordings in several notable ways. The Lead Belly
version is performed on acoustic twelve string guitar, and following an
introductory phrase reminiscent of the vocal melody, Lead Belly
launches into a furious fingerpicking pattern. His haunting, shrill tenor
delivers the lyrical counterpoint, and his story is punctuated with
spoken-word, as he "interrupts his song to discourse on its theme".[13]
"In the Shadow of the Gallows Pole", a Lead
Belly album featuring the song as "The Gallis
Pole".
Judy Collins and Bob Dylan versions
Judy Collins performed the song "Anathea" throughout 1963

(including a rendition at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival), credited to Neil Roth and Lydia Wood. It is thematically
similar to the Hungarian "Feher Anna" cited above, even to the detail of the name of the brother (Lazlo). It appeared
on her third album, released in early 1964. Dayle Stanley's folk album "A Child Of Hollow Times," from roughly
this era, included an uncredited version of this song ("of Greek origin"), under the name "Ana Thea." Bob Dylan
recorded a thematically similar "Seven Curses" in 1963 during the sessions for his Freewheelin' album. The song
tells a similar story, but from the point of view of the condemned's daughter. Dylan's song has been recorded by
many artists. The definitive folk version of the song is probably that by Nic Jones recorded as 'Prickly Bush' which
he performed live and is featured on the 'Unearthed' album. The song has also been played by Spiers & Boden.

This plotline is followed in perhaps the most familiar version today. English band Led Zeppelin recorded the song
for their album Led Zeppelin III in 1970. The album is a shift in style for the band towards acoustic material,
influenced by a holiday Jimmy Page and Robert Plant took to the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in the Welsh countryside.[14]
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page adapted the song from a version by Fred Gerlach.[14] On the album the track was
credited "Traditional: Arranged by Page and Plant".
"Gallows Pole" begins as a simple acoustic guitar rhythm; mandolin is added in, then electric bass guitar shortly
afterwards, and then banjo and drums simultaneously join in. The instrumentation builds up to a crescendo,
increasing in tempo as the song progresses. The acoustic guitar chord progression (in standard tuning) is simple with
a riff based on variations of the open A chord and the chords D and G occurring in the verse. Page played banjo, six
and 12 string acoustic guitar and electric guitar (a Gibson Les Paul), while John Paul Jones played mandolin and
bass.[14]
Page has stated that, similar to the song "Battle of Evermore" which was included on their fourth album, the song
emerged spontaneously when he started experimenting with Jones' mandolin, an instrument he had never before
played. "I just picked it up and started moving my fingers around until the chords sounded right, which is the same
way I work on compositions when the guitar's in different tunings."[15]
Led Zeppelin would perform the song a few times live during Led Zeppelin concerts in 1971.[14] Singer Plant would
sometimes also include lyrics in live performances of the Led Zeppelin song "Trampled Under Foot" in 1975.
The Led Zeppelin version of the song is unique in that, despite the bribes, which the hangman accepts, he still carries
out the execution.
Oh yes, you got a fine sister, she warmed my blood from cold,
She warmed my blood to boiling hot to keep you from the Gallows Pole,
Your brother brought me silver, and your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard to see you swinging on the Gallows Pole
As in the Dylan "Seven Curses" and many other renditions, the Led Zeppelin version is based on a variant in which
the convict is male. This is evident when the convict's brother addresses the convict as "brother" rather than "sister"
in the line, "Brother, I brought you some silver, yeah."

Other versions
Led Zeppelin members Page and Plant later recorded a version of this
song for their 1994 release No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Unledded. They also released this track as a single. The song was
performed regularly on the subsequent tour and featured a hurdy gurdy.
In 2005, Robert Plant and his band Strange Sensation performed the
song on the television show Soundstage. The performance was
released the following year on the DVD Soundstage: Robert Plant and
the Strange Sensation.
A few lines of the song are sung by a woman strumming a guitar in a
1949 John Wayne movie, The Fighting Kentuckian. The song is
chronologically appropriate to the film, which is set in 1818.

Valley Cosmonauts, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Steeleye Span, and The Merry Wives Of Windsor.
American folk singer John Jacob Niles recorded a version under the title "The Hangman"; the song was featured in
the Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely.
Spiers and Boden recorded two variations: "Derry Gaol" and "Prickle Eye Bush". The latter was also recorded with

"Moby Dick" is an instrumental tune and drum solo by English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on their 1969
album Led Zeppelin II. Named after the whale in the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, it was also known by
the alternate titles "Pat's Delight" (early 1968-1969 version with completely different guitar riff) and "Over the
Top" (with "Out on the Tiles" intro section and original closing reprise) during various points of the band's career.
Overview
The tune emerged after Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page would often catch drummer John Bonham
jamming in the studio, recorded parts of it, and then pieced it all together. Only Page and bassist John Paul Jones
play the tune's Drop-D blues-based riff with Bonham's drumsas a power trioat the very beginning and the very
end of the tune, leaving the remainder open for Bonham alone. The structure of the main riff is that of the twelve-bar
blues. Singer Robert Plant did not sing at all, and in concert would simply introduce Bonham to the audience before
the tune started. Studio outtakes from the Led Zeppelin II sessions reveal that the drum solo recorded was edited
down from a much longer version.[1]
The guitar riff can be traced back to the BBC unused session track "The Girl I Love" which was recorded in the
summer of 1969.[1] The riff sounds very similar to that of Bobby Parker's 1961 single, "Watch Your Step", although
the progression is in a different key.[2] Jimmy Page was a fan of Parker's, and at one point in the 1970s offered him a
recording contract with Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label. John Lennon also admitted the same Parker riff
had been a big influence on The Beatles' 1964 single "I Feel Fine".[3] [4] It was also used as the basis for the
opening/chorus riff of Deep Purple's "Rat Bat Blue" in 1973.[5] Page's riff was used as the theme to BBC2's Disco 2
rock show.[1]
Bonham's drum solo was often played at Led Zeppelin concerts from the first North American tour in November
1968, being his solo performance showcase on concert tours through 1977. Over this period it went through three
different name changes. During their early 1968-1969 tours it was known as "Pat's Delight" (a reference to Bonham's
wife), from 1969-1975 it was "Moby Dick", and during Led Zeppelin's 1977 North American Tour it was "Over the
Top" as the solo began with the opening riff to "Out on the Tiles" before segueing into a lengthy drum solo (in the
same time ending with a "Moby Dick" riff).[1] The last time "Moby Dick" was played by Led Zeppelin was on 17
"Moby Dick"
July 1977 at the Seattle Kingdome, and can be found on various audio and video bootleg recordings.
When played live, Bonham's drum solo would last as little as 6 minutes or, more frequently, as long as 30 minutes,
while the rest of the band would leave the stage after having played the introduction.[1] During the performance
Bonham would often set aside or throw his drumsticks into the audience, and then continue the solo with his hands
(sometimes drawing blood as a result); on occasion, the reason for continuing the solo with his hands was breaking
his sticks due to ferocious playing.
Live versions of "Moby Dick" are included on the live album How the West Was Won (lasting 19:20, performed at
Long Beach Arena in 1972), and on Led Zeppelin's 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the Same as part of
Bonham's fantasy sequence. It was also included on the film's accompanying soundtrack. The Led Zeppelin DVD
also has a 15-minute long version that was performed and recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970.
Jimmy Page remixed "Moby Dick" to flow seamlessly into "Bonzo's Montreux" on the Led Zeppelin Boxed Set,
released in 1990.
References in popular culture

An anti-littering campaign in the United States used the song for its theme music in the mid 1970s.
The song was referenced in the movies Dazed and Confused, The Client and Step Brothers.
The song is often played by Fred Norris as an introductory music track for female guests coming onto The Howard
Stern Show.

"Night Flight" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. Originally
recorded at Headley Grange in 1971, it was intended for Led Zeppelin IV but was held over and placed on Physical
Graffiti to fill up the double album.[1]
It was written largely by bassist John Paul Jones, who is listed first on the writing credits. Guitarist Jimmy Page
played his guitar through a Leslie speaker for this track.[1]
A somewhat lyrically ambiguous song, singer Robert Plant recounts the tale of a young man attempting to evade the
military draft. A different version was also recorded which included extra backing vocals.[1]
The song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts. However, bootleg recordings exist of the band
performing the song during a soundcheck at the Chicago Stadium on 6 July 1973, which took place during Led
Zeppelin's 1973 North American tour.[1]

"No Quarter" is the seventh song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's fifth album Houses of the Holy, released in
1973. It was written by bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant.
Overview
"No Quarter" was recorded in 1972 at Island Studios, London. It was engineered by Andy Johns and also mixed by
Johns at Olympic Studios, London. The version that made it onto the album evolved out of a faster version Led
Zeppelin had recorded earlier at Headley Grange, an old mansion in East Hampshire, England.[1] Jimmy Page
applied vari-speed to drop the whole song a semi-tone, in order to give it a thicker and more intense mood.[2] The
guitar solo effect was achieved by direct injection and compression.[1] The song features a brief Shepard scale at the
close of the solo section at around the 4:45 mark.
The title is derived from the military practice of showing no mercy to a vanquished opponent. This military theme is
captured in several of the song's lyrics.
From 1973 "No Quarter" became a centrepiece at Led Zeppelin concerts, being played at virtually every show the
band performed until 1980 (it was eventually discarded on their final tour "Over Europe" in that year).[1] The song
took on a very mysterious texture on stage as many lights and simulated fog were used.
During live performances Jones would showcase his skills as a pianist, frequently improvising on keyboards and
playing parts of classical music. On the band's ninth North American tour in 1973, performances of the song lasted
twice the length of the studio version. On Led Zeppelin's concert tours from 1975 onwards, Jones would also play a
short piano concerto (on a grand piano) frequently turning the seven-minute song into a performance exceeding
twenty minutes, with Page and Bonham always joining him later in the song. He was particularly fond of playing
Rachmaninoff pieces, but sometimes included Joaqun Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez which had inspired Miles
Davis' Sketches of Spain. One version of the song, recorded at the Kingdome in Seattle in 1977, lasted thirty-six
minutes, where, after the piano solo, Jones led the group into a Blues jam, as a prelude to the guitar solo proper
(similar versions can also be heard on the Destroyer bootleg CD, or bootleg DVDs of the concerts at Knebworth in
1979.)
"No Quarter"
335
In Led Zeppelin's concert film The Song Remains the Same, "No Quarter" was the thematic music behind Jones'
personal fantasy sequence, in which he played a haunting masked horseman roaming the graveyards. Jimmy Page
also used a short segment of theremin as an added sound effect while playing the song live, as can additionally be
seen in the movie.
Page and Plant recorded a version of the song in 1994, ironically without Jones, released on their album No Quarter:
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded. Robert Plant played a radically different version of the song as the opening
number on his solo tour in 2005, as is included on the DVD release Soundstage: Robert Plant and the Strange
Sensation. "No Quarter" was also a central part of Jones' own solo concerts between 1999 and 2002.
"No Quarter" was performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.
Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked on the song's structure, "It takes such confidence to be able to get really
quiet and loose for such a long time. [Led] Zeppelin completely changed how we look at what popular music can
be."[3]

"Nobody's Fault but Mine" is a traditional blues song that has been covered by many musicians since the late
1960s. A gospel under the title "It's Nobody's Fault but Mine" is listed in the 1924 Cleveland Library's Index to
Negro Spirituals.[1] [2] The first known recording of this song, under the title "It's Nobody's Fault but Mine", was
made by blues-gospel guitarist Blind Willie Johnson; the sides were recorded over the period 1927-1930.[3] It is
unknown if he was the writer of the track, or simply covering a traditional song. Currently Johnson's version is not
registered with any copyright association and resides in public domain.[4] A heavily modified version of the song
appears on the album Presence by British hard rock band Led Zeppelin. A cover of this song was played
intermittently by Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead throughout their career, sometimes with lyrics, sometimes
without, sometimes crediting Blind Willie Johnson.[5]

"Nobody's Fault but Mine" was recorded by English rock band Led Zeppelin, and released in 1976 on their album
Presence. The Led Zeppelin song is registered with copyright association ASCAP, with the unique title code
440088148.[6]
Overview
The Led Zeppelin version contains different lyrics in the song such as "brother he showed me the gong", "I got a
monkey on my back" and "Devil he told me to roll",[7] which do not appear in the Johnson version. The Led
Zeppelin song structure also includes differences in the arrangements within the verse-chorus.[8] Musically there are
changes to the tempo, and the track features a phase-treated, delta blues-based riff in E minor (and later E major)
from Jimmy Page which is doubled by vocalist Robert Plant. The solo in E Minor Pentatonic, switches to E Major
Pentatonic, back to E Minor Pentatonic, and concludes in E Major Pentatonic. Page triple-tracked his guitar intro;
playing one guitar an octave higher than the others.
Drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones maintain the rhythm of the song, adding some syncopated
accents during repetitions of the introductory phrase. The first half of the song also features a harmonica
accompaniment by Plant.[9]

Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked on the song's structure, "A traditional blues, twisted through a trippy,
psychedelic filter. They [Led Zeppelin] played with such precision, doing these odd arrangements that sound like
loose jams but are really choreographed."[10]
Live history
From 1977 onwards, "Nobody's Fault but Mine" became a vital component of Led Zeppelin concerts, and was
played at virtually every show until the group's final tour of Europe in 1980.[9] One live version, from Led Zeppelin's
performance at Knebworth in 1979, is featured on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD. During live performances, Plant
often exclaimed, "Oh Jimmy!" right before Page went into his guitar solo.
"Nobody's Fault but Mine" was performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on December
10, 2007.

"Out on the Tiles" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from the 1970 album Led Zeppelin III. The title of
the song is derived from the British phrase for going out for a night on the town. Led Zeppelin drummer John
Bonham would talk about going "out on the tiles," meaning to go to bars, and often sang a ditty based around the
phrase. It goes "I've had a pint of bitter and now I'm feeling better and I'm out on the tiles. We're going down the
rubbers and we're going to pull some scrubbers because we're out on the tiles." Guitarist Jimmy Page turned the tune
into a riff and Bonham's lyrics were replaced with something a little more tame for general audiences. Bonham and
Page are credited with writing the song, along with vocalist Robert Plant.
The song is one of the most aggressive recordings in the band's catalog and closes the "hard" first side of Led
Zeppelin III, which is noted for its stylistic departure from the band's first two releases, featuring several acoustic
arrangements that dominate the second half of the album.
The spacey sound mix achieved on the recording of this song was a product of distance miking in the studio by
Page.[1] [2] Just after the 1:23 mark in the track, someone in the recording studio is heard saying "stop". It is widely
believed that it was Page who said it, although this has never been confirmed. As the song has unique rhythm and
syncopation, it is assumed that whoever yelled "stop" was trying to act as a verbal conductor. Before that, at about
0:11 in the song, someone (again possibly Page) says "All right".
In Japan "Out on the Tiles" was mistakenly placed on the B-side of the "Immigrant Song" single, rather than "Hey
Hey What Can I Do". Those copies are now rare collector's items. "Out on the Tiles" was played live in its entirety
just a few times at Led Zeppelin concerts, most notably on September 4, 1970 in Los Angeles, as is preserved on the
famous bootleg recording Live On Blueberry Hill. However, the beginning of the song was much more often used as
an introduction to live performances of "Black Dog", as heard on the official live release How the West Was Won. It
was also used as an introduction to John Bonham's drum solo "Over the Top" on the band's 1977 North American
concert tour.[1]
Jimmy Page performed "Out on the Tiles" on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of this song
performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek. The song was also featured
on the VH1 series Supergroup, in which it was performed as part of the group's set at the concert in series finale, and
Jason Bonham dedicated it to his late father John.

"Ozone Baby" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin. The song was recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm,
Sweden during the sessions for the band's final studio album In Through the Out Door in November 1978 but it was
decided to leave the song off the resultant album. After the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham in 1980,
the band released an album of studio outtakes in 1982 entitled Coda, and this song was included on it. It was one of
three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted from In Through the Out Door and later released on Coda,
the other two being "Wearing and Tearing" and "Darlene".[1]
"Ozone Baby" is a straightforward, up-tempo rock song, featuring some harmonised vocal effects from singer Robert
Plant.[1] Few Led Zeppelin studio songs included harmonised vocal effects, but it had been increasingly utilised by
Plant in live performances from 1977 onwards. Despite this, "Ozone Baby" itself was never performed live at Led
Zeppelin concerts.[1]
This song served as inspiration for the Fuel song "Ozone (sucker)" from their 1998 debut, Sunburn.

"Poor Tom" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin, but may also be a reference to several characters
throughout literary history. Led Zeppelin's song was composed in 1970 by vocalist Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy
Page when they were staying at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales,[1] [2] and was recorded at Olympic Studios in
May 1970.
Although the lyrics can be difficult to decipher, the song is about a labourer named Tom who murders his unfaithful
wife. Tom may also be psychic, as the lines "Poor Tom, seventh son/Always knew what was goin' on" can be
interpreted as a reference to the folk belief that seventh sons of seventh sons were clairvoyant. The title of the song
may have been taken from a line in John Steinbeck's East of Eden, where Samuel Hamilton is telling of how his wife
punished his son, Tom, "And Liza has the smoke of brimstone coming out of her nostrils Poor Tom." The title, along
with John Steinbeck's use of the phrase, may also come from William Shakespeare's King Lear, where in the play,
Edgar is falsely accused of murderous intentions and becomes "Poor Tom", a pathetically wretched madman whom
only King Lear in his own madness understands, though Edgar is later able to reconnect with his family, reveal his
true identity, clear his name, and take his rightful place as heir.
The song was left off the album Led Zeppelin III but was eventually included on the band's album Coda, released in
1982 two years after the death of drummer John Bonham, having been produced by Page at his newly-acquired Sol
Studios.[2]
"Poor Tom" is viewed by fans as another one of Led Zeppelin's blues-influenced songs and contains a jug-band
workout, as well as a semi-acoustic guitar part performed by Page. A harmonica, played by Plant, and a drum track
are also featured on the arrangement.
The guitar tuning for the song is an open-C6 chord (C-A-C-G-C-E). The same tuning was also used by Page on the
tracks "Bron-Yr-Aur" and "Friends".[2]
The song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[2]

"The Rain Song" is a ballad song from English rock band Led Zeppelin's fifth album Houses of the Holy, released in
1973.
Recording
"The Rain Song" is a love ballad of over 7 minutes in length. Guitarist Jimmy Page originally constructed the
melody of this song at his home in Plumpton, England, where he had recently installed a studio console. A new Vista
model, it was partly made up from the Pye Mobile Studio which had been used to record the group's 1970 Royal
Albert Hall performance and The Who's Live at Leeds album.[1]
Page was able to bring in a completed arrangement of the melody, for which singer Robert Plant composed some
lyrics. These lyrics are considered by Plant himself to be his best overall vocal performance.[2] The song also
features a mellotron played by John Paul Jones to add to the orchestral effect, while Page plays a Danelectro
guitar.[1]
George Harrison was reportedly the inspiration for "The Rain Song" when he made a comment to Led Zeppelin
drummer John Bonham, about the fact that the group never wrote any ballads.[3] [4] In tribute to Harrison, the
opening two chords are recognisably borrowed from the first line of his ballad "Something" with The Beatles.[3]
The working title for this track was "Slush," a reference to its easy listening mock orchestral arrangement.[1]
Live history
During Led Zeppelin concerts from late 1972 until 1975, the band played this song immediately following "The
Song Remains the Same", presenting the songs in the same order as they appeared on the album. They organized
their setlist in this manner because Page used a Gibson EDS-1275 double-necked guitar for both songs: the top,
12-string neck for "The Song Remains the Same" and then switching to the bottom, 6-string neck for "The Rain
Song". The song was dropped from the 1977 U.S. tour, but returned for Led Zeppelin's 1979 concerts in
Copenhagen, Denmark and at the Knebworth Music Festival, as well as their European tour in 1980.[1] "The Rain
Song" was the only song from Houses of the Holy performed on the 1980 European tour. In this incarnation, Page
again utilized the double-neck, the only known time he used that guitar solely for the 6-string portion without using
"The Rain Song"

the 12-string portion on a preceding song. For all live versions of the song, the orchestral string sounds were played
by Jones on either the mellotron (19721975) or a Yamaha synthesizer (19791980), as Led Zeppelin never utilised
a string section on-stage.
When played live, Page used the 6-string neck of the EDS-1275 for "The Rain Song" in order to have two different
tunings on the same guitar. The 12-string neck was tuned to Standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E) for his use on "The
Song Remains the Same". The alternate tuning used for "The Rain Song" on the 6-string neck was Asus4
(E-A-D-A-D-E) - a step higher than the album cut, which is the "Open page" alternative guitar tuning
(D-G-C-G-C-D). This is quite an uncommon modal tuning and makes for a very rich sounding accompaniment, led
by John Paul Jones. The likely reason the alternate tuning was used in live performances is that while it required
Plant to sing in a higher key, it necessitated a tuning change of only two strings (the B and G) on the EDS-1275,
whereas the song's original key would have required the tuning of five strings. As this same guitar would later be
used in the show for "Stairway to Heaven", the six-string neck would then need to be returned to standard
tuningthe alternate "Rain Song" tuning allowed this to be achieved with relative ease.
Page and Plant recorded a version of the song in 1994 but it was not originally released on their album No Quarter:
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded. It was, however, released on the special tenth anniversary reissue of that
album in 2004.
Legacy and usage in other media

Record producer Rick Rubin says, "I don't even know what kind of music this is ["The Rain Song"]. It defies
classification. There's such tasteful, beautiful detail in the guitar, and a triumphant feel when the drums come in
it's sad and moody and strong, all at the same time. I could listen to this song all day. That would be a good day."[5]
"The Rain Song" has appeared in four films: The ending of Cemetery Junction, Almost Famous, directed by
Cameron Crowe (who, as a teen reporter for Rolling Stone magazine, covered Led Zeppelin), It Might Get Loud, a
documentary by filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, and Led Zeppelin's own 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the
Same (and accompanying soundtrack), as part of lead singer Robert Plant's fantasy sequence.

"Ramble On" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. It was co-written
by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and was recorded in 1969 at Juggy Sound Studio, New York, during the band's
second concert tour of the United States. In 2004, the song was ranked #433 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500
Greatest Songs of All Time.
"Ramble On"
Influences
The song's lyrics were heavily influenced by The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.[1] The opening line ("Leaves
are falling all around") is probably a paraphrase of the opening line of Tolkien's poem "Namri". The poem may
also be the inspiration for the entire first verse.
The Tolkien references later in the song refer to abstract themes - Mordor, and possibly Arwen (Elrond's daughter) without specifically invoking Tolkien canon:
Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
References to the work of Tolkien also exist in other Led Zeppelin songs, such as "Misty Mountain Hop", "The
Battle of Evermore", and "Stairway to Heaven".
Composition
The guitar's jangly introduction employs a classic Jimmy Page technique: using regular open chords superimposed
higher on the fretboard.
There has been much doubt around Bonham's percussions in the background throughout the song, having regard to
the particular resonance that it captures. There are no versions consistent in this respect: often mistaken for bongos,
some said of a small plastic bin for waste played with the hands from the side of the bottom, others about the sticks
on his drum kit vinyl seat pad, or even the soles of the shoes he wore during the recording session and so
rhythmically beaten with his drum sticks; the book John Bonahm: A Thunder Of Drums reports instead of a hard
case for guitar on which Bonham improvised percussion background with bare hands.[2]
The song also serves as an illustration of the tight interplay between bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John
Bonham.
Jones' light, melodic bass phrases give way to an ascending motif which follows Bonham's soft percussions.
Live performances
Until 2007 "Ramble On" was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1] However, part of the
song was performed by the band in the middle of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" at a concert at Toronto on 2
November 1969, as can be heard on the Led Zeppelin bootleg Listen to my Bluebird. The full version of the song was
played at Led Zeppelin's reunion show on 10 December 2007, at the O2 Arena in London.
In June 2008 Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the Foo Fighters on stage at Wembley Stadium and performed
"Ramble On" with vocals performed by Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins on drums. Interestingly, the two Foo
Fighters reversed performing roles for "Rock and Roll" the other song performed with the Led Zeppelin pair.
In 2004, the song was ranked #433 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

"The Rover" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
The song was originally meant to be an acoustic piece, being written at Bron-Yr-Aur in 1970 and then recorded at
Stargroves during the Houses of the Holy sessions in 1972.[1] [2] However, the band decided to hold the track off the
Houses of the Holy album, and the song eventually saw its way onto Led Zeppelin's next studio album Physical
Graffiti. By this time it had obtained a distinctly heavier feel, with several studio overdubs having been laid down by
Jimmy Page in 1974.[2]
"The Rover" opens with a heavy drum beat from John Bonham, and throughout the song, Page plays a distinctive riff
using a Phase Shifter effect. The riff is in the key of E major, and the solo uses a F# minor scale. "Rover" is a term
for a wanderer, and the lyrics are fitting to this definition:
I've been to London, seen seven wonders. I know to trip is just to fall . . . In fields of plenty, when heaven sent
me. I saw the kings who rule them all.
The sleeve credit for this track includes the line "Guitar lost courtesy Nevison...Salvaged by the grace of Harwood",
which would seem to be a reference to difficulties encountered during the mixing of the track, "Harwood" being
Keith Harwood and "Nevison" referring to Ron Nevison, both audio engineers on Physical Graffiti .[2]
"The Rover" was never played live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, although the band played the opening
bars as an introduction to "Sick Again" throughout their 1977 North American tour.[2] However, the song was
rehearsed in full, as can be heard on bootleg recordings of the band's soundcheck rehearsal at the Chicago Stadium
on 6 July 1973. This rehearsal took place before the opening date of the second leg of the band's 1973 North
American tour.[2] Also in 1972, instrumental themes from the song were played in a "Whole Lotta Love" medley
during a concert in Sydney during Led Zeppelin's Australasian Tour.

"Sick Again" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin, from the band's 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
This song was written by Robert Plant about teenage groupies, or as he called them, the "L.A. Queens", with whom
the band were acquainted on their 1973 US Tour.[1] He took pity upon these girls who would flock to the hotel rooms
of the band to offer them favors. In an interview he gave in 1975, he provided an explanation of the lyrics:
If you listen to "Sick Again," a track from Physical Graffiti, the words show I feel a bit sorry for [the girls].
"Clutchin pages from your teenage dream in the lobby of the Hotel Paradise/Through the circus of the L.A.
Queen how fast you learn the downhill slide." One minute she's 12 and the next minute she's 13 and over the
top. Such a shame. They haven't got the style that they had in the old days... way back in '68.[2]
Plant's vocals are however somewhat hard to hear because they are not prominent in the mix.
The song's musical structure alternates between a bluesy E minor motif in the verse section as the vocals are called,
followed by a thunderous E minor pentatonic chord sequence in response. A riff in A major is introduced in the
chorus, resolved by a bluesy B7 "goodbye chord" arpeggio as an interlude to the verse and bridge. Of particular note
is the relentless pounding of drummer John Bonham's bass drum and triplet fills during the open chords of the song's
interludes, almost as if to punctuate that this is the heavy section.
The very last sound of the very last song on Physical Graffiti is that of Jimmy Page's backward echo-processed slide
guitar, followed by a pick scrape to close out the song, although shortly afterwards a cough from drummer John
Bonham can be heard very faintly.[1]
"Sick Again" was frequently performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, being the second number performed on all the
1975 and 1977 tour dates.[1] When Led Zeppelin performed this live on their 1977 U.S. tour, they started it with the
first verse instrumental of "The Rover", and Page here used his Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar as the song
was played directly after "The Song Remains the Same". It was also played in 1979 (a filmed version from
Knebworth is featured on the Led Zeppelin DVD), but was dropped for the band's final tour "Over Europe" in
1980.[1]
Jimmy Page performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "Sick Again" performed
by Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.

"Since I've Been Loving You" is a blues-rock song in C minor by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on the
1970 album Led Zeppelin III.
Overview
This was one of the first songs prepared for the Led Zeppelin III album.[1] The song was recorded live in the studio
with very little overdubbing. John Paul Jones played Hammond organ on the song, using the bass pedals for the
bassline.[2] It was the only track from the third album that the band had played live prior to the recording sessions,
but was reportedly the hardest to record.[3] One story mentions Jimmy Page taking a break following a series of
failed attempts to track the solo. Seemingly unable to get the tone he was craving, he set about a walk around the
studio to clear his mind. Sitting outside of the recording area was an unplugged amplifier, which he utilised, and
recorded the solo we hear today on the next take. Audio engineer Terry Manning called it "The best rock guitar solo
of all time."
Because of the live recording, this is one of a few songs in which one can hear the squeak of John Bonham's bass
drum pedal in the studio, the others being "The Ocean", "The Rain Song" and "Dancing Days" from 1973's Houses
of the Holy, "Ten Years Gone" from 1975's Physical Graffiti, and "Bonzo's Montreux" from 1982's Coda and "I
Can't Quit You Baby" from the same album. In an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993, Page made
comment of this whilst discussing the remastering of Led Zeppelin tracks:
The only real problem I can remember encountering was when we were putting the first boxed set together.
There was an awfully squeaky bass drum pedal on "Since I've Been Loving You". It sounds louder and louder
every time I hear it! [laughs]. That was something that was obviously sadly overlooked at the time.[4]
As an improvisational showcase for all four group members, and especially for Jimmy Page's electric blues guitar
solos, "Since I've Been Loving You" became a staple and fan favorite of Led Zeppelin's live concert performances
from 1970 until the end of their ninth American tour in summer 1973. It was played on the 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973,
1977, 1979 and 1980 tours, but only a few times on the 1975 North American tour. In live performances of the song
from 1977 onwards, Page would sometimes incorporate some of the solo of "Tea for One", a track from the band's
1976 album Presence that is similar in style to this song.
358
Page's guitar prowess is well demonstrated in different performances of the song from Madison Square Garden in
July 1973, as seen in the group's concert films The Song Remains the Same (and accompanying soundtrack) and Led
Zeppelin DVD. There is also a June 1972 live recording of "Since I've Been Loving You" which can be heard on the
album How the West Was Won, and another live version on Disc 2 of BBC Sessions.
Page and Plant recorded a version of the song in 1994, released on their album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert
Plant Unledded. Plant also used a sample from this on his solo track "White, Clean, and Neat". "Since I've Been
Loving You" was performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on December 10, 2007.

"Somethin' Else" is a song by the rockabilly musician Eddie Cochran, co-written by his girlfriend, Sharon Sheeley,
and his older brother, Bob Cochran, released in 1959. The first-person lyrics describe how Cochran wants a
convertible he can't afford and a girl who he fears will not go out with him. But in the end, by saving money, he is
able to buy a slightly older and even better car, giving him the confidence to ask the girl out. The song was written
by Sheeley on the back of a match book, and recorded with a drum beat identical to Little Richard's "Keep
A-Knockin'", according to her, in order to impress Cochran who was a Little Richard fan. The drummer on both
tracks was studio veteran Earl Palmer. But he was unaware of what Sheeley did at the time.[1]
The song has been covered by numerous bands, such as The Move (as title track to their 1968 live-ep Something Else
from the Move), Led Zeppelin (appeared on both their 1997 compilation BBC Sessions, and their 2003 DVD), Slade,
the New York Dolls, The Flamin' Groovies, Prima Donna, UFO, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (appeared on his
albums Playback and Damn the Torpedoes), The Beatles, Keith Richards with the X-Pensive Winos, the Georgia
Satellites, Speedy Keen, Teenage Head and notably Sid Vicious, who made it his second single as a solo artist. It
was released on 23 February 1979, shortly after Vicious' death. It made it to number 3 on the UK singles chart and
was Sid's biggest success. Vicious also recorded another Eddie Cochran song, "C'mon Everybody", which was
released as his third solo single on June 22, 1979.

"The Song Remains the

Same"
(1)
"The Rain
Song"
(2)
"The Song Remains the Same" is a song by the English rock group Led Zeppelin. It is the opening track from their
1973 album, Houses of the Holy.
Overview
The song features furious multi-tracked guitar from Jimmy Page, played on a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck
12-string during live shows,[1] and vocals from lead singer Robert Plant. This was Plant's tribute to world music,
reflecting his belief that music is universal.
The song was originally an instrumental which was given the working title "The Overture",[2] before Plant added
lyrics to it, after which it temporarily came to be known as "The Campaign" before the band settled on the title "The
Song Remains the Same".[3] In an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine in 1993, Page discussed the song's
construction:
It was originally going to be an instrumental -- an overture that led into "The Rain Song". But I guess Robert
had different ideas. You know, "This is pretty good, Better get some lyrics--quick!" [laughs]... I had all the
beginning material together, and Robert suggested that we break down into half-time in the middle. After we
figured out that we were going to break it down, the song came together in a day... I always had a cassette
recorder around. That's how both "The Song Remains the Same" and "Stairway" came together -- from bits of
taped ideas.[1]
Plant's vocal track was slightly sped up for the album release.[3] Page played overdubs with a Telecaster on this
recording, and also a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar.[3]
The band first performed this song live on their 1972 Japanese Tour.[3] Bootlegs from this tour reveal that the song
was still without a settled title, with Plant introducing it as "Zep" from the stage at Tokyo. At Led Zeppelin concerts
from late 1972 through 1975, "The Song Remains the Same" was followed (just as on the original album) by direct
segue into "The Rain Song". For this live arrangement, Page employed his trademark Gibson EDS-1275
double-necked guitar. "The Song Remains the Same" would be the opening song for the 1977 US tour and 1979
concerts, before being dropped from the set list for the 1980 European tour.[3] The song was also performed at Led
Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.

"The Song Remains the Same" was featured on Led Zeppelin's 1976 concert film (and accompanying soundtrack), as
part of lead singer Robert Plant's fantasy sequence. The title of the song was used as the title of both the film and the
album.

"South Bound Saurez" [sic] is the second song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1979 album, In Through the
Out Door. The title may contain a typographical error; it is thought by some that saurez is an attempt at spelling the
French word for an evening party, soire. However, it is possible that there is no typo, as "Saurez" is a
wine-producing region in Uruguay, South America. Some of the lyrics in the song attest to this theory, mentioning
flying down (southbound), being happy to have his feet on the ground again, watching a woman walk and talk,
heavy rhythm, and con carne, the Spanish term for a dish prepared with beef.
The song is centered around John Paul Jones's honky-tonk piano. It is credited to Jones and singer Robert Plant.
"South Bound Saurez" is one of only two Led Zeppelin songs which Jimmy Page had no part in writing (the other
being "All My Love", also from In Through the Out Door). At the time, Page and drummer John Bonham were
spending a lot of time together and rarely appeared at the studio when Plant and Jones started working on songs for
In Through the Out Door. Page made a few minor mistakes in his guitar part, but opted to leave them in.
"South Bound Saurez" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.[1]

"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the British rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It was composed by
guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band's untitled fourth studio album (usually referred to as Led
Zeppelin IV). The song, running eight minutes and two seconds, is composed of several sections, which increase in
tempo and volume as the song progresses. The song begins as a slow acoustic-based folk song accompanied by
panflutes, before electric instrumentation is introduced. The final section is a high-tempo hard rock section
highlighted by an intricate guitar solo by Page.
The song, often considered one of the greatest rock songs of all-time,[2] [3] [4] was voted #3 in 2000 by VH1 on its
list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs,[5] and was placed at number 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500
Greatest Songs of All Time. It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s,
despite never having been officially released as a single there.[6] In November 2007, through download sales
promoting Led Zeppelin's Mothership release, "Stairway to Heaven" hit #37 on the UK Singles Chart.[7]
Writing and recording

The recording of "Stairway to Heaven" started in December 1970 at Island Records' new Basing Street Studios in
London.[8] The song was completed by the addition of lyrics by Plant during the sessions for Led Zeppelin IV at
Headley Grange, Hampshire, in 1971.[9] Page then returned to Island Studios to record his guitar solo.[6]
The song originated in 1970 when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were spending time at Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote
cottage in Wales, following Led Zeppelin's fifth American concert tour. According to Page, he wrote the music "over
a long period, the first part coming at Bron-Yr-Aur one night".[10] Page always kept a cassette recorder around, and
the idea for "Stairway" came together from bits of taped music:[11]
I had these pieces, these guitar pieces, that I wanted to put together. I had a whole idea of a piece of
music that I really wanted to try and present to everybody and try and come to terms with. Bit difficult
really, because it started on acoustic, and as you know it goes through to the electric parts. But we had
various run-throughs [at Headley Grange] where I was playing the acoustic guitar and jumping up and
picking up the electric guitar. Robert was sitting in the corner, or rather leaning against the wall, and as I
was routining the rest of the band with this idea and this piece, he was just writing. And all of a sudden
he got up and started singing, along with another run-through, and he must have had 80% of the words
there ... I had these sections, and I knew what order they were going to go in, but it was just a matter of
getting everybody to feel comfortable with each gear shift that was going to be coming.[12]
Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones recalled this presentation of the song to him following its genesis at
Bron-Yr-Aur:
Page and Plant would come back from the Welsh mountains with the guitar intro and verse. I literally
heard it in front of a roaring fire in a country manor house! I picked up a bass recorder and played a
run-down riff which gave us an intro, then I moved into a piano for the next section, dubbing on the
guitars.[13]
In an interview he gave in 1977, Page elaborated:
I do have the original tape that was running at the time we ran down "Stairway To Heaven" completely
with the band. I'd worked it all out already the night before with John Paul Jones, written down the
changes and things. All this time we were all living in a house and keeping pretty regular hours together,
so the next day we started running it down. There was only one place where there was a slight rerun. For
some unknown reason Bonzo couldn't get the timing right on the twelve-string part before the solo.
Other than that it flowed very quickly.[8]
The first attempts at lyrics, written by Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant next to an evening log fire at Headley
Grange, were partly spontaneously improvised and Page claimed, "a huge percentage of the lyrics were written there
and then".[11] Jimmy Page was strumming the chords and Robert Plant had a pencil and paper. Plant later said that
suddenly,
My hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady is sure [sic], all that glitters is gold, and she's buying
a stairway to heaven'. I just sat there and looked at them and almost leapt out of my seat." Plant's own
explanation of the lyrics was that it "was some cynical aside about a woman getting everything she
wanted all the time without giving back any thought or consideration. The first line begins with that
cynical sweep of the hand ... and it softened up after that.[14]
The lyrics of the song reflected Plant's current reading. The singer had been poring through the works of the British
antiquarian Lewis Spence, and later cited Spence's Magic Arts in Celtic Britain as one of the sources for the lyrics to
the song.[9]
In November 1970, Page dropped a hint of the new song's existence to a music journalist in London:
It's an idea for a really long track.... You know how "Dazed and Confused" and songs like that were
broken into sections? Well, we want to try something new with the organ and acoustic guitar building up
368
and building up, and then the electric part starts.... It might be a fifteen-minute track.[9]
Page stated that the song "speeds up like an adrenaline flow".[15] He explained:
Going back to those studio days for me and John Paul Jones, the one thing you didn't do was speed up,
because if you sped up you wouldn't be seen again. Everything had to be right on the meter all the way
through. And I really wanted to write something which did speed up, and took the emotion and the
adrenaline with it, and would reach a sort of crescendo. And that was the idea of it. That's why it was a
bit tricky to get together in stages.[12]
The complete studio recording was released on Led Zeppelin IV in November 1971. The band's record label, Atlantic
Records was keen to issue this track as a single, but the band's manager Peter Grant refused requests to do so in both
1972 and 1973. The upshot of that decision was that record buyers began to invest in the fourth album as if it were a
single.[6] In the US, Atlantic issued "Stairway to Heaven" as a 7" promotional single in 1972.
Composition
The song consists of several distinct sections, beginning with a quiet introduction on a finger picked 6 string guitar
and four recorders in a Renaissance music style.[16] (ending at 2:15) and gradually moving into a slow electric
middle section (2:16-5:33), then a long guitar solo (5:34-6:44), before the faster hard rock final section (6:45 to the
end).
Written in the key of A minor, the song opens with an arpeggiated, finger-picked guitar chord progression with a
chromatic descending bassline A-G#-G-F#-F-E. John Paul Jones contributed overdubbed wooden bass recorders in
the opening section (he used a Mellotron and, later, a Yamaha CP70B Grand Piano and Yamaha GX1 to synthesize
this arrangement in live performances)[14] and a Hohner Electra-Piano electric piano in the middle section.
The sections build with more guitar layers, each complementary to the intro, with the drums entering at 4:18. During
the interlude before the start of the guitar solo, the time signature switches between common time and several other
time signatures: 3/4, 5/4 and finally 7/8. The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played
for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)[14] plugged
into a Supro amplifier,[17] although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could
have been a Marshall, but I can't remember".[11] Three different improvised solos were recorded, with Page
agonizing about deciding which to keep. Page later revealed, "I did have the first phrase worked out, and then there
was the link phrase. I did check them out before hand before the tape ran." The other guitar parts were played using a
Harmony Sovereign H1260 acoustic guitar and Fender Electric XII (12-string); these can be heard on the left and
right recording channels respectively. For live versions, Page switched to a Heritage Cherry Gibson EDS-1275 6/12
Doubleneck guitar. The final progression is a i-VII-VI (natural minor) progression (Am-G-F), a mainstay of rock
music.
Sound engineer Andy Johns recalls the circumstances surrounding the recording of Page's famous solo:
I remember Jimmy had a little bit of trouble with the solo on "Stairway to Heaven"... [H]e hadn't
completely figured it out. Nowadays you sometimes spend a whole day doing one thing. Back then, we
never did that. We never spent a very long time recording anything. I remember sitting in the control
room with Jimmy, he's standing there next to me and he'd done quite a few passes and it wasn't going
anywhere. I could see he was getting a bit paranoid and so I was getting paranoid. I turned around and
said "You're making me paranoid!" And he said, "No, you're making me paranoid!" It was a silly circle
of paranoia. Then bang! On the next take or two he ripped it out.[18]
According to Page, "Stairway to Heaven"
...crystallized the essence of the band. It had everything there and showed the band at its best... as a
band, as a unit. Not talking about solos or anything, it had everything there. We were careful never to
release it as a single. It was a milestone for us. Every musician wants to do something of lasting quality,
369
something which will hold up for a long time and I guess we did it with "Stairway".[19] [Pete]
Townshend probably thought that he got it with Tommy. I don't know whether I have the ability to come
up with more. I have to do a lot of hard work before I can get anywhere near those stages of consistent,
total brilliance.[20]

Taurus
Over the years, a number of people have put forth the opinion that the song's introduction, and opening guitar
arpeggios, bear a close resemblance to the 1968 instrumental "Taurus" by the group Spirit.[10] [21] Zeppelin opened
for Spirit in an early American tour, leaving little doubt that Led Zeppelin had heard the Spirit song before Stairway
to Heaven was written. In the liner notes to the 1996 reissue of Spirit's debut album, songwriter Randy California
writes:
People always ask me why "Stairway to Heaven" sounds exactly like "Taurus", which was released two
years earlier. I know Led Zeppelin also played "Fresh Garbage" in their live set. They opened up for us
on their first American tour.[22] [23] [24]
Live performances
The inaugural public performance of the song took place at Belfast's Ulster Hall on 5 March 1971.[14] Bassist John
Paul Jones recalls that the crowd was unimpressed: "They were all bored to tears waiting to hear something they
knew".[15] However, Page stated about an early performance at the LA Forum, before the record had even come
out,[25] that:
I'm not saying the whole audience gave us a standing ovation - but there was this sizable standing
ovation there. And I thought, 'This is incredible because no one's heard this number yet. This is the first
time hearing it!' It obviously touched them, so I knew there was something with that one.[26]
The world radio premiere of "Stairway to Heaven" was recorded at the Paris Cinema on 1 April 1971, in front of a
live studio audience, and broadcast three days later on the BBC.[25] The song was performed at almost every
subsequent Led Zeppelin concert, only being omitted on rare occasions when shows were cut short for curfews or
technical issues. The band's final performance of the song was in Berlin on 7 July 1980, which was also their last
concert for 27 years; the version was also one of the longest, lasting almost fifteen minutes.

When playing the song live, the band would often extend it to over ten minutes in
length, with Page playing an extended guitar solo and Plant adding a number of
lyrical ad-libs, such as "Does anybody remember laughter?", "wait a minute!"
and "I hope so". For performing this song live, Page used a Gibson EDS-1275
double neck guitar so he would not have to pause when switching from a six to a
twelve string guitar.
By 1975, the song had a regular place as the finale of every Led Zeppelin
concert. However, after their concert tour of the United States in 1977, Plant
began to tire of "Stairway to Heaven": "There's only so many times you can sing
it and mean it ... It just became sanctimonious."[27]
The song was played again by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at the
Live Aid concert in 1985;[14] at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in
1988, with Jason Bonham on drums;[28] and by Jimmy Page as an instrumental
version on his solo tours.
By the late 1980s, Plant made his negative impression of the song clear in
interviews. In 1988, he stated:
Jimmy Page used a double-necked

guitar to perform "Stairway to
Heaven" live.
I'd break out in hives if I had to sing ("Stairway to Heaven") in every show. I wrote those lyrics and
found that song to be of some importance and consequence in 1971, but 17 years later, I don't know. It's
just not for me. I sang it at the Atlantic Records show because I'm an old softie and it was my way of
saying thank you to Atlantic because I've been with them for 20 years. But no more of "Stairway to
Heaven" for me.[29]
However, by the mid-1990s Plant's views had apparently softened. The first few bars were played alone during Page
and Plant tours in lieu of the final notes of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and in November 1994 Page and Plant
performed an acoustic version of the song at a Tokyo news station for Japanese television. "Stairway to Heaven" was
also performed at Led Zeppelin's reunion show at the O2 Arena, London on 10 December 2007.
Plant cites the most unusual performance of the song ever as being that performed at Live Aid: "...with two
drummers while Duran Duran cried at the side of the stage - there was something quite surreal about that."[14]
Footage of the song being played live is preserved on the band's concert film The Song Remains the Same, featuring
a performance from Madison Square Garden in 1973, and on the Led Zeppelin DVD, featuring a performance from
Earls Court Arena in 1975. Official audio versions are also available on The Song Remains the Same's accompanying
soundtrack, on Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions (a performance from London's Paris Theatre in 1971) and on How the
West Was Won (a performance from the Long Beach Arena in 1972). There are also hundreds of audio versions
which can be found on unofficial Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.
Success and legacy

"Stairway to Heaven" is often rated among the greatest rock songs of all time.[2] [3] [4] According to music journalist
Stephen Davis, although the song was released in 1971, it took until 1973 before the song's popularity ascended to
truly "anthemic" status.[30] As Page himself recalled, "I knew it was good, but I didn't know it was going to be
almost like an anthem ... But I knew it was the gem of the album, sure."[31]
"Stairway to Heaven" continues to top radio lists of the greatest rock songs, as well as topping a 2006 Guitar World
readers poll of greatest guitar solos.[32] On the 20th anniversary of the original release of the song, it was announced
via U.S. radio sources that the song had logged up an estimated 2,874,000 radio plays - back to back, that would run
for 44 years solid.[6] As of 2000, the song had been broadcast on radio over three million times.[33] In 1990 a St
Petersburg, Florida station kicked off its all-Led Zeppelin format by playing "Stairway to Heaven" for 24 hours
straight.[34] It is also the biggest-selling single piece of sheet music in rock history, clocking up an average of 15,000
copies yearly.[14] In total, over one million copies have been sold.[33]
The song's length precluded its release in full form as a single. Despite pressure from Atlantic Records the band
would not authorize the editing of the song for single release, making "Stairway to Heaven" one of the most
well-known and popular rock songs never to have been released as a single. It did, however, appear on two
promotional discs in the United States, one of them featuring the 7:55 track on each side, and the other as a 7" 33 1/3
record produced for jukebox operators with "Stairway..." on one side and both "Black Dog" and "Rock And Roll" on
the other. Other "single" appearances were on an Australian EP, and in 1991 as and added bonus with a 20th
anniversary promo book.
The group's recording of this song also appeared as the sole Led Zeppelin track in the 1977 Atlantic Records 2-LP
promotional sampler album, We've Got Your Music, marking the very first time that Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To
Heaven" made its official debut appearance in an American-released various artists compilation collection.
On the 20th Anniversary of the song's release, Esquire magazine featured an article on the song's success and lasting
influence. Karen Karbo wrote:[35]
It's doubtful that anyone knew it would become the most popular rock song of all time. After all, it's
eight minutes long and was never released as a single. Even "Hey Jude" was shorter, was a 45, and
enjoyed the benefits of comprehensible words and a sing-along chorus. But "Hey Jude" isn't the most
requested song of all time on FM rock stations. Nobody ever had a "Hey Jude" theme prom or played
the song at weddings and funerals like "Stairway." "Stairway" couldn't succeed today. Back in 1971, FM
deejays prided themselves on digging deep into albums to come up with oddball, cultish favorites. With
its near-oppressive length, erratic changes, and woo-woo lyrics, the quasi-medieval anthem was a
perfect choice. It continues to be a favorite among music listeners who are younger than the song itself,
listeners who, in some cases, were no doubt conceived while the tune blasted from car speakers.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine put it at number 31 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. An article
from the 29 January 2009 Guitar World magazine rated Jimmy Page's guitar solo at number one in the publication's
100 Greatest Guitar Solos in Rock and Roll History.[36] In 2010, New York City based classic rock radio station
Q104.3 ranked "Stairway to Heaven" no. 1 on their 10th Anniversary list of "Top 1,043 Songs of All Time".[37]
Erik Davis, a social historian and cultural critic, commented on the song's massive success, subsequent backlash and
enduring legendary status:[38]
"Stairway to Heaven" isn't the greatest rock song of the 1970s; it is the greatest spell of the 1970s. Think
about it: we are all sick of the thing, but in some primordial way it is still number one. Everyone knows
it... Even our dislike and mockery is ritualistic. The dumb parodies; the Waynes World-inspired folklore
about guitar shops demanding customers not play it; even Robert Plant's public disavowal of the songall of these just prove the rule. "Stairway to Heaven" is not just number one. It is the One, the
quintessence, the closest AOR will ever get you to the absolute.
Page has himself commented on the song's legacy:
The wonderful thing about "Stairway" is the fact that just about everybody has got their own individual
interpretation to it, and actually what it meant to them at their point of life. And that's what's so great
about it. Over the passage of years people come to me with all manner of stories about what it meant to
them at certain points of their lives. About how it's got them through some really tragic circumstances ...
Because it's an extremely positive song, it's such a positive energy, and, you know, people have got
married to [the song].[12]
372
Other versions
The song has been covered a number of times. Rolf Harris's didgeridoo-and-wobble board interpretation reached
number seven in the UK charts in 1993.[39] Rolf Harris's version was one of 25 different versions of the song that
were performed live by guest stars on the early 1990s Australian chat show The Money or the Gun - each being a
unique version of the song in the usually idiosyncratic style of performance of each guest star.
Dolly Parton released a stripped down acoustic cover of the song in 2002; Plant spoke highly of Parton's version,
noting that he was pleasantly surprised with how her version turned out.[40]
In 1977, Little Roger and the Goosebumps recorded a parody of the song in which the words to the theme song of
the television show Gilligan's Island were sung in place of the original lyrics. Within five weeks, Led Zeppelin's
lawyers threatened to sue them and demanded that any remaining copies of the recording be destroyed. However,
during a 2005 interview on National Public Radio, Plant referred to the tune as his favorite cover of "Stairway to
Heaven."[41]
The sketch comedy series SCTV had an elaborate spoof of the song with its spoof album Stairways to Heaven. In the
mock album, advertised in the style of K-tel, various snippets of cover versions are featured, supposedly from artists
ranging from Slim Whitman to the faux-50s group "The Five Neat Guys," as well as the original version (albeit
advertised to be a sound-alike sung by Rich Little). This sketch, due to rights issues, was not released on the DVDs
for the show.
The London Symphony Orchestra recorded a version Stairway to Heaven as part of their Classic Rock series in
1980, the venue being EMI Studio One, Abbey Road, London. It has also been arranged and recorded by the
Hampton String Quartet on their early album, "What if Mozart Wrote 'Born to be Wild'."
A version by Far Corporation was released in 1985 and reached number 8 in the UK singles chart.[42]
Frank Zappa created an arrangement of the song as one of the centerpieces of his 1988 tour. The arrangement, as
heard on the album The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life, features the horn section of Zappa's band playing
Jimmy Page's guitar solo.
Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues, with producer-arranger Mike Batt, released Classic Blue, an album of pop
standards written by other composers, set to orchestration arranged by Batt, in 1989. Classic Blue included a cover
version of "Stairway to Heaven."
Australian physicist and composer Joe Wolfe composed a set of variations on "Stairway to Heaven." This work, The
Stairway Suite, is composed for orchestra, big band, chorus, and SATB. Each variation is in the style of a famous
composer: Franz Schubert, Gustav Holst, Glenn Miller, Gustav Mahler, Georges Bizet, and Ludwig van Beethoven.
For example, the Schubert inspired variation is based on the Unfinished Symphony, and the Beethoven inspired
variation includes vocal soloists and chorus and resembles Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.[43] Wolfe posted the full
score of this piece on the Internet.[44]
Australian tribute band The Beatnix performed a cover version of the song in the 1960s pop style of the Beatles.
Dread Zeppelin released a version on their album 5,000,000. In their traditional style, this version figures reggae
style with an Elvis impersonator on vocals.
In the movie Wayne's World, Wayne (played by Mike Myers) takes a guitar and plays several notes of the song in
the original theatrical release. In the video release and subsequent airings, however, the notes are changed to a
generic guitar riff due to licensing restrictions. In the scene, Wayne is almost immediately stopped by a store
employee who points to a "No Stairway" sign, referencing the fact that so many people attempted the song on guitar
while at music stores, employees became sick of hearing it and banned patrons from playing Stairway, threatening
them with fines or removal.
In 2007, Rodrigo y Gabriela covered this song in the album Rhythms del Mundo Classics by the Buena Vista Social
Club.

In 2010, Mary J. Blige released a version on her album Stronger with Each Tear featuring Travis Barker on drums,
Steve Vai and Orianthi on guitar, Randy Jackson on bass and Geffen Records chair Ron Fair on piano. Blige
performed the song on American Idol with Barker, Vai, Orianthi, and Jackson; the recording was released via
download for charity.[45]
Allegation of backward masking

In a January 1982 television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network hosted by Paul Crouch, it was alleged
that hidden messages were contained in many popular rock songs through a technique called backward masking. One
example of such hidden messages that was prominently cited was in "Stairway to Heaven."[46] The alleged message,
which occurs during the middle section of the song ("If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now...")
when played backwards, was purported to contain the Satanic references "Here's to my sweet Satan" and "I sing
because I live with Satan."[47]
Following the claims made in the television program, California assemblyman Phil Wyman proposed a state law that
would require warning labels on records containing backward masking. In April 1982, the Consumer Protection and
Toxic Materials Committee of the California State Assembly held a hearing on backward masking in popular music,
during which "Stairway to Heaven" was played backwards. During the hearing, William Yarroll, a self-described
"neuroscientific researcher," claimed that backward messages could be deciphered by the human brain.[48]
Various versions of the alleged message exist.[49] One such interpretation reads:
Oh here's to my sweet Satan.
The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan.
He will give those with him 666.
There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.[50]
The band itself has for the most part ignored such claims; in response to the allegations, Swan Song Records issued
the statement: "Our turntables only play in one directionforwards." Led Zeppelin audio engineer Eddie Kramer
called the allegations "totally and utterly ridiculous. Why would they want to spend so much studio time doing
something so dumb?"[51] Robert Plant expressed frustration with the accusations in a 1983 interview in Musician
magazine: "To me it's very sad, because 'Stairway to Heaven' was written with every best intention, and as far as
reversing tapes and putting messages on the end, that's not my idea of making music."[52]

"Tangerine" is a folk rock song composed by Jimmy Page and performed by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was
released on their 1970 album Led Zeppelin III.
Like several Led Zeppelin tunes written by Page, it has its origins in an old Yardbirds song, in this instance a
composition entitled "Knowing That I'm Losing You".[1] The Yardbirds version features different lyrics, with the
exception of the verse that begins with "Measuring a summer's day."
The track has an acoustic country flavor courtesy of the pedal steel guitar playing of Page.[1] [2] The song begins with
a false start, after which Page pauses to set the right tempo. Throughout its duration, the song continually changes
tempo a few bars at a time whilst the lyrics fondly recall love and contentedness. This was the second-to-last Led
Zeppelin song Page wrote without any input from Robert Plant. ("Bron-Yr-Aur" from Physical Graffiti was the last.)
The song uses a simple double track vocal pattern to create a recognisable lilting feel. The song uses a standard Am
G D C progression for the verses before moving on to G C D progression for the chorus.
"Tangerine" was often played live at Led Zeppelin concerts as part of the band's acoustic set from 1971 through
1972, and was revived for the Earls Court shows of 1975.[1] At these latter performances, Page played the song on
his Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck guitar. During the 1975 concert at the Earls Court, Plant said that "Tangerine" is
"a song of love in its most...innocent stages".[3]
This was the second Led Zeppelin song to be named after a fruit, the first being "The Lemon Song".

"Tea for One" is the last track on English rock band Led Zeppelin's 1976 album Presence. It begins with mid-tempo
interplay between guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer John Bonham before settling into a sotto voce groove. The
song evolves into a slow blues epic, featuring lyrics which deal with homesickness and loneliness. Much of this was
felt by Robert Plant, who recalls sitting alone in a New York hotel during a U.S. concert tour drinking "tea for one".
Other members of the band, notably John Bonham, were also widely reported to suffer from homesickness during
Led Zeppelin's concert tours.
The song recalls an earlier Led Zeppelin song in sound and style, "Since I've Been Loving You".[1] "Tea for One"
came from the desire of the band to return to their roots in order to see what had changed since they were younger.
In an interview given in 1977, Page said that the song
was the only time I think we've ever gotten close to repeating the mood of another of our numbers, "Since I've
Been Loving You". The chordal structure is similar, a minor blues. We just wanted to get a really laid-back
blues feeling without blowing out on it at all. We did two takes in the end, one with a guitar solo and one
without. I ended up sitting there thinking, "I've got this guitar solo to do," because there have been blues guitar
solos since Eric (Clapton) on Five Live Yardbirds and everyone's done a good one. I was really a bit frightened
of it. I thought, "What's to be done?" I didn't want to blast out the solo like a locomotive or something, because
it wasn't conductive to the vibe of the rest of the track. I was extremely aware that you had to do something
different than just some B.B. King licks.[2]
He also said "Tea For One is exceptional. It was to the point, recorded in a couple of takes. Robert's vocals are
tremendous. He was doing that while his leg was in a cast."[3]
"Tea for One" was never played live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts,[1] but the introduction riff was played
onstage shortly before the beginning of the acoustic set during Led Zeppelin's final show at Earl's Court on May 25,
1975 and some parts of the guitar solo was incorporated into "Since I've Been Loving You" at various shows from
1977.
However, it was played in full by Page and Plant during their tour of Japan where it received six airings backed by
an orchestra on February 8, 9, 12, 13, 15 & 17, 1996[4] .

"Ten Years Gone" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti.
Overview
Originally intended to be an instrumental piece, Jimmy Page used some 14 guitar tracks to overdub the harmony
section.[1] Robert Plant later added lyrics, which are dedicated to an old girlfriend who, ten years earlier, had made
him choose either her or his music. Plant explained this in an interview he gave in 1975:
Let me tell you a little story behind the song "Ten Years Gone" on our new album. I was working my ass off
before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, "Right. It's me or your fans." Not that I had fans, but
I said, "I can't stop, I've got to keep going." She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing
machine that works by itself and a little sports car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could
probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid.
Anyway, there's a gamble for you.[2]
In another interview, Plant credited Page with the song's intricate construction:
Jimmy is the man who is the music. He goes away to his house and works on it a lot and then brings it to the
band in its skeletal state. Slowly everybody brings their personality into it. This new flower sort of grows out
of it. "Ten Years Gone" was pain-stakingly pieced together from sections he'd written.[3]
Some have speculated that this song was a variation of the never-released Led Zeppelin track "Swan Song", the
name they chose for their own record label.[1]
This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs in which it is possible to hear the squeak of John Bonham's bass drum
pedal in the recording studio, the others being "Since I've Been Loving You" from 1970's Led Zeppelin III, "The
Ocean" from 1973's Houses of the Holy, "Houses of the Holy" from 1975's Physical Graffiti, and "Bonzo's
Montreux" from 1982's Coda.
Live versions of this song were performed on Led Zeppelin's 1977 concert tour of the United States. John Paul Jones
originally played the melody on an acoustic guitar but then introduced an unusual triple-necked guitar that included a
six-string, twelve string, a mandolin and bass pedals.[1] Jimmy Page used his brown-painted 1960s Fender Telecaster
featuring a Parsons and White B-string bender. The band again played the song on the first date of the concerts at
Knebworth on August 4, 1979 which was also their last time playing it in concert. They cut it from their set on their
"Ten Years Gone"
384
second and final Knebworth appearance on August 11, due to problems with the sound system.
Page and Plant performed this song once on their Japanese tour at Osaka on February 15, 1996. Jimmy Page also
performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. In an interview he later gave to National Public
Radio, Page commented on this collaboration with the Black Crowes:
We did "Ten Years Gone" and all of a sudden I heard all of the guitar parts that I had never heard apart
from on record. We could never do all those guitar parts with just the one guitar with Led Zeppelin. It
was fantastic.[4]
A version of "Ten Years Gone" performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the
Greek. Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked on the song's structure, "A deep, reflective piece with hypnotic,
interweaving riffs. Light and dark, shadow and glare. It sounds like nature coming through the speakers."[5]

"Thank You" is a song written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page that was released by English rock band Led
Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II.
Overview
"Thank You" signaled a deeper involvement in songwriting by singer Robert Plant, being the first Led Zeppelin song
that he wrote all the lyrics for. According to various Led Zeppelin biographies, this is also the song that made Jimmy
Page realize that Plant could now handle writing the majority of the lyrics for the band's songs. Plant wrote the song
as a tribute to his then-wife Maureen.
The song features some delicate Hammond organ playing by John Paul Jones, which fades into a false ending before
concluding with a crescendo roughly ten seconds later. This has created a problem for radio stations wishing to play
the track, which must decide whether to accept the dead air or cut it off. Some stations run an edited version with the
silence eliminated.
For the recording of this track, Page played on a Vox 12-string guitar.[1]
Live history
"Thank You" was a popular song when played live at Led Zeppelin concerts, and became something of a showcase
for Jones' keyboard work, as he often played an extended keyboard solo (either on the Hammond organ or on some
1972-73 versions, the Mellotron) as an introduction to the song. The piece was eventually dropped from the band's
standard live setlist following the 1973 tour of the United States, when it was only occasionally used as an encore,
for example, at the tour's final concert in Madison Square Garden.
In 1992 Plant sang part of "Thank You" before merging in to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen at the
Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Page and Plant revived the song in 1994 on their Unledded tour. They played a
somewhat mellower arrangement for most of their shows from 1995 through 1998 as either an opening number or an
encore.

Legacy
In November 2010, "Thank You" topped Gibson's list of "Top 10 Thanksgiving Songs".[2] [3] Record producer Rick
Rubin has remarked on the song's structure, "The delicacy of the vocals is incredible; the acoustic guitar and the
organ work together to create an otherworldly presence."[4] Alek Keshishian's comedy-drama film With Honors
featured Duran Duran's cover of the song in 1994.[5] "Thank You" was also performed by Lars Mitch Fischermann
with Led Zeppelin Jam on Rock 'n' Royal, a concert to fte the wedding of Kronprins Frederik and Kronprinsesse
Mary of The Danish Royal Family.[6]

"That's the Way" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their third album, Led Zeppelin III, released in
1970. Like several of the tracks on the album, it is an acoustic song and is particularly noted as being one of the most
gentle and mellow compositions in the Led Zeppelin catalogue. The studio version features Jimmy Page playing
acoustic guitar in open G tuning, pedal steel, dulcimer, and bass guitar while John Paul Jones plays mandolin. There
is no presence of John Bonham's drums on the track, and light tambourine and bass guitar is added towards the end
of the song.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant wrote this piece in 1970 whilst on a retreat at Bron-Yr-Aur cottage, Wales.[1] [2] Page
explained:
"That's the Way" was written in Wales. It was one of those days after a long walk and we were setting back to
the cottage. We had a guitar with us. It was a tiring walk coming down a ravine and we stopped and sat down.
I played the tune and Robert sang the first verse straight off. We had a tape recorder with us and we got the
tune down".[3]
In an interview he gave to Mojo magazine in 2010, he elaborated:
I can still remember exactly where we were when we wrote That's the Way. Robert was seriously affected by
the situation and being able to write it down and make a statement was great. That wouldn't have happened if
we hadn't been there.[4]
When onstage for Page and Plant's Unledded reunion in 1994, Plant announced to the audience that Page's daughter,
Scarlet Page, was conceived "about half an hour" after "That's the Way" was written.[5] Page's partner, Charlotte
Martin, was staying at Bron-Yr-Aur at the time with Page, along with Plant's wife Maureen and their own child
Carmen.
The original working title of the song was "The Boy Next Door".[2] According to Stephen Davis's biography of Led
Zeppelin, Hammer of the Gods, the song's lyrics reflected Plant's views on the ecology and environment. There are
also several lines in the song which reflected on the way Led Zeppelin was sometimes treated in America during
their early concert tours, when they were sometimes spat on, had guns drawn on them and were heckled at airports
and on planes.[2] They were also troubled about the violence that they had seen policemen visit upon youth who
protested the war in Vietnam, as well as upon the fans at their shows, particularly during their spring 1970 tour of the
"That's the Way"

United States:[6]
I can't believe what people saying, you're gonna let your hair hang down, I'm satisfied to sit here working all
day long, you're in the darker side of town.
"That's the Way" was played live at Led Zeppelin concerts from 1970 through 1972, and was recalled for their series
of concerts at Earls Court in 1975. Live versions of the song can also be found on How the West Was Won, the Led
Zeppelin BBC Sessions and the Led Zeppelin DVD. The song was always performed half a step higher than the
studio version, and the bass part at the end was always played by John Paul Jones on bass pedals. In 1994 Page and
Plant also released a version on the No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded CD and DVD.
This was one of the few songs in their catalogue that Led Zeppelin authorized for use on a film soundtrack. After
seeing a rough cut of Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous in 2000, Page and Plant agreed to let him use some Led
Zeppelin songs on it, but this is the only one which made it onto the soundtrack. Other Led Zeppelin songs which
can be heard in the movie are "Tangerine", "The Rain Song", "Bron-Yr-Aur", "Immigrant Song" and "Misty
Mountain Hop"

"Travelling Riverside Blues
[1]
" at ledzeppelin.com
"Travelling Riverside Blues," sometimes called "Mudbone" or "Mud Bone," is a blues song written and recorded
in Dallas, Texas by the bluesman Robert Johnson. Johnson's June 20, 1937 recording has a typical 12 bar blues
structure (though as is common in downhome blues of this era, the length of each verse is in fact thirteen-and-a-half
bars of 4/4), played on a single guitar tuned to open G, with a slide. It was first released on the 1961 compilation LP
King of the Delta Blues Singers. The song has proved popular with more recent blues musicians.
The song is well known for the following lyrics:
"I want you to squeeze my lemon
until the juice runs down my leg."

English rock band Led Zeppelin's version of this song was recorded at the BBC studios in Aeolian Hall on June 24,
1969, by engineer John Waters, which took place during the band's UK Tour of Summer 1969. Jimmy Page dubbed
extra guitar tracks onto the track (the main track being played on a 12-string electric guitar, possibly the same one
used on the track "Thank You"), and it was broadcast four days later on John Peel's Top Gear show under the title
"Travelling Riverside Blues '69",[1] and repeated on January 11, 1970.
It is quite different from the original, and it is more a tribute to Robert Johnson than a straight cover. The song
showcases a riff by Page (also in open G tuning), and in the lyrics Robert Plant quotes many Robert Johnson songs,
such as "She studies evil all the time", from "Kind Hearted Woman Blues", and "Why don't you come on in my
393
kitchen", from "Come on in My Kitchen" (which is heard during the song's solo). Conversely, parts of Johnson's
"Travelling Riverside Blues" are used as lyrics in Led Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song", namely the "squeeze my
lemon" sequence. It is likely that Johnson borrowed this himself, from a song recorded in the same year (1937)
called "She Squeezed My Lemon", by Roosevelt Sykes.[2] The line "she got a mortgage on my body, got a lien on
my soul" and reference to "front teeth lined with gold" at the end of the song are also from Johnson's original.
"Travelling Riverside Blues" can be found on the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions album, on disc 1 of the Led Zeppelin
Boxed Set, and on the expanded Coda album from The Complete Studio Recordings box set. It was interest from US
radio interviewers and fans during Page's Outrider tour that originally led him to negotiate with BBC Enterprises for
the song's release.[1] A promotional video clip was also released in 1990, with outtake footage from the band's 1976
concert film, The Song Remains the Same inter-spliced with other footage from the band's archive. The clip also
features a railroad montage, and underwater shots of the Mississippi River. The song reached number seven on the
Billboard Top Rock Tracks Top 50 chart in November 1990, culled from national album rock radio airplay
reports.[1]
Other versions
A verse was incorporated into Cream's "Crossroads", their 1968 version of Johnson's "Cross Road Blues".
Eric Clapton covered this song, along with several other Robert Johnson classics, on his 2004 album, Me and Mr.
Johnson.
Myles Kennedy has sung and played the song with his band Alter Bridge at live shows in 2007 and 2008. Alter
Bridge's version of the song was included on the live Alter Bridge DVD Live from Amsterdam.
Dion DiMucci covered this song on his 2006 Grammy-nominated album Bronx in Blue.
Takoma Deathpunk band Zeke's "10 To The Riverside Blues", from their split with Peter Pan Speedrock, is a clear,
if unconventional, homage to the Johnson recording.

"Walter's Walk" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. The music was recorded at Stargroves in May 1972
during the sessions for the group's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, but it remained unreleased until 1982 when it was
included on the album Coda.[1]
The date of singer Robert Plant's performance on the song is debatable, but it was certainly recorded later than 1972,
as Plant's tone in this track is far more reminiscent of In Through the Out Door than the rest of the material recorded
during the Houses of the Holy era. Some have suggested that Plant's vocals may have been recorded at Jimmy Page's
Sol Studios in 1982.[1] It is quite likely that the song existed only as a basic backing track until Coda was
assembled.[1]
"Walter's Walk" was never performed live in its entirety at Led Zeppelin concerts, though instrumental snippets of it
were regularly included into "Dazed and Confused" during the band's 1972 and 1973 concert tours.[1] and also
occasionally during 1975. One example of this arrangement is presented on the live album How the West Was Won,
where it also appears with "The Crunge" during a 25-minute version.

"The Wanton Song" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. The
song came about as the result of a jam session at rehearsals and features a sharp, aggressive riff from guitarist Jimmy
Page, which like "Immigrant Song" found Page switching back and forth between two notes one octave apart.
Lyrically it is mainly about sex, specifically sex with a "wanton woman".
For his solo, Page employed a backwards echo (where the echo is heard before the note), and also put his guitar
through a Leslie speaker cabinet, as Jimi Hendrix had done on "Little Wing" and "Angel", to create a doppler effect
with a Hammond Organ.[1] This was a technique Page had himself used as far back as his work with The Yardbirds,
and faced serious opposition from audio engineers when he tried it on the earliest Led Zeppelin recordings.
"The Wanton Song" was played live during some of the Led Zeppelin's European and American concerts in 1975,
but was then dropped.[1] "The Wanton Song" was played extensively as an opening number during Page and Plant's
tours in 1995 and 1998. The song was played live a few times when Jimmy Page teamed up with The Black Crowes
in 1999.

"We're Gonna Groove" is a song written by soul artist Ben E. King and his songwriting partner James A. Bethea,
and performed most famously by English rock group Led Zeppelin, as the opening number during their 1970 UK and
European tours.[1]
According to the liner notes for the 1982 album Coda, the song was originally recorded at Morgan Studios, London
on June 25, 1969 just after a short British tour including some BBC appearances, and shows at Royal Albert Hall and
the 1969 Bath Festival, but it was later acknowledged to have come from a concert recorded at the Royal Albert Hall
on 9th January 1970, with several edits and the guitar parts overdubbed. The original concert performance, including
the original guitar part can be heard on the 2003 Led Zeppelin DVD where the entire first disc is devoted to the 1970
concert and the song forms the opening number of the performance. The second song of the concert - I Can't Quit
You Baby - was similarly adapted for the Coda album.
It was scheduled to appear on Led Zeppelin II, but like "Since I've Been Loving You", "We're Gonna Groove" didn't
make the lineup of the second Led Zeppelin album. It belatedly appeared, in a heavily produced version Jimmy Page
made at his Sol Studios, on Coda, after the group had split following the death of drummer John Bonham.[1]

"Wearing and Tearing" is a song by English rock group Led Zeppelin. It was recorded at Polar Studios in
Stockholm, Sweden during the In Through the Out Door sessions on November 21, 1978.[1]
Due to space constraints it was one of three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted from In Through the
Out Door and later released on Coda, the other two being "Ozone Baby" and "Darlene".[1]
"Wearing and Tearing" is one of the band's hardest rockers and was intended as a statement that Led Zeppelin could
compete against the popular punk bands of the time.[1] Gibson wrote, "["Wearing and Tearing" is the] Proof that
when it came to energy and aggression, punk rockers had nothing on the [Led] Zep[pelin]."[2] The band considered
releasing the song as a special commemorative single in time for their performance at the 1979 Knebworth Festival,
but this plan was abandoned because of time constraints.[3]
This song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, although it was played by Jimmy Page and Robert
Plant at their reunion at Knebworth in 1990.[1]

"What Is and What Should Never Be" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led
Zeppelin II. It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
This was one of the first songs on which Page used his soon-to-become trademark Gibson Les Paul for recording.[1]
The production makes liberal use of stereo as the guitars pan back and forth between channels. Robert Plant's vocals
were phased during the verses.
This was also one of the first songs recorded by the band for which Robert Plant received writing credit. According
to rock journalist Stephen Davis, the author of the Led Zeppelin biography Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin
Saga, the lyrics for this song reflect a romance Plant had with his wife's younger sister.[2]
"What Is and What Should Never Be" was performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts between 1969 and 1972. A live
version taken from a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 can be seen on the Led Zeppelin DVD.
The song inspired the name of an episode of the popular teen drama One Tree Hill, and the name of an episode of the
paranormal drama "Supernatural", as well as an episode of popular half-hour comedy That 70s Show, and one from
the action drama "Covert Affairs". Billy Joel also played it as part of the intro to the "We Didn't Start the Fire"
medley on the 1997 VH1 Storytellers episode on his career.[3] Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked, "The
descending riff [of "What Is and What Should Never Be"] is amazing: It's like a bow is being drawn back, and then it
releases. The rhythm of the vocals is almost like a rap. It's insane one of their most psychedelic songs."[4]

"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and
Memphis Minnie in 1929. The song is in reaction to the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
It was famously re-worked by English rock group Led Zeppelin as the last song on their fourth album, released in
1971. The lyrics in Led Zeppelin's version were partially based on the original recording. Many other artists have
also recorded versions of the song or played it live.
While the Led Zeppelin version is still under copyright by the band, the original song by Kansas Joe McCoy and
Memphis Minnie is currently in the public domain.[1]
Origin
The original "When the Levee Breaks" was recorded by the blues musical duo Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis
Minnie. In the first half of 1927, the Great Mississippi Flood ravaged the state of Mississippi and surrounding areas.
It destroyed many homes and ravaged the agricultural economy of the Mississippi Basin. Many people were forced
to flee to the cities of the Midwest in search of work, contributing to the "Great Migration" of African Americans in
the first half of the 20th century. During the flood and the years after it subsided, it became the subject of numerous
Delta blues songs, including "When the Levee Breaks", hence the lyrics, "I works on the levee, mama both night and
day, I works so hard, to keep the water away" and "I's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan, gonna leave
my baby, and my happy home". The song focused mainly on when more than 13,000 residents in and near
Greenville, Mississippi evacuated to a nearby, unaffected levee for its shelter at high ground. The tumult that would
have been caused if this and other levees had broken was the song's underlying theme.[2] [3]

Led Zeppelin recorded its version of the song in December 1970 at Headley Grange, where the band used the
Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. The song had earlier been tried unsuccessfully by the band at Island Studios at the
beginning of the recording sessions for their fourth album.[4]
The Led Zeppelin version features a distinctive pounding drum beat by John Bonham, driving guitars and a wailing
harmonica, all presumably meant to symbolize the relentless storm that threatens to break the levee, backing a
powerful vocal performance by vocalist Robert Plant. The vocals were processed differently on each verse,
sometimes with phasing added. Plant had the original McCoy and Minnie recording in his personal collection. He
removed and rearranged lines and line parts from the original song and added new lyrical parts (again, the lyrics
focused on the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927), and combined it with a revamped melody.
According to Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page, the song's structure "was a riff that I'd been working
on, but Bonzo's drum sound really makes a difference on that point."[5] The famous drum performance was recorded
by engineer Andy Johns by placing Bonham and a new Ludwig drumkit at the bottom of a stairwell at Headley
Grange, and recording it using two Beyerdynamic M160 microphones at the top, giving the distinctive resonant but
slightly muffled sound.[6] [7] Page later explained:
We were playing in one room in a house with a recording truck, and a drum kit was duly set up in the main
hallway, which is a three storey hall with a staircase going up on the inside of it. And when John Bonham went
out to play the kit in the hall, I went "Oh, wait a minute, we gotta do this!" Curiously enough that's just a
stereo mike that's up the stairs on the second floor of this building, and that was his natural balance.[8]
Back in the Rolling Stones' mobile studio, Johns compressed the drum sound through two channels and added echo
through guitarist Page's Binson echo unit.[4] The performance was made on a brand new drum kit that had only just
been delivered from the factory.[4] The drum beat has long been popular in hip hop and dance music circles for its
"heavy" sound, and has been sampled for many tracks.[9] At one time the remaining band members took legal action
against Beastie Boys for their use of this drum sample on "Rhymin & Stealin" from Licensed to Ill.[10]
Page recorded Plant's harmonica part using the backward echo technique, putting the echo ahead of the sound when
mixing, creating a distinct effect.[4]
"When the Levee Breaks" was recorded at a different tempo, then slowed down, explaining the "sludgy" sound,
particularly on the harmonica and guitar solos. Because this song was heavily produced in the studio, it was difficult

to recreate live. The band only played it a few times in the early stages of their 1975 U.S. Tour.[4]
"When the Levee Breaks" was the only song on the album that was not re-mixed after a supposedly disastrous
mixing job in the U.S. (the rest of the tracks were mixed again in England). The original mixing done on this song
was kept in its original form.
In the May 2008 issue of Uncut Magazine, Page elaborated upon the effects at the end of the song:
Interviewer: How was the swirly effect at the end of "When the Levee Breaks" achieved? I always imagine
you sitting there with a joystick... Page: It's sort of like that, isn't it? It's interesting, on "Levee Breaks" you've
got backwards harmonica, backwards echo, phasing, and there's also flanging, and at the end you get this
super-dense sound, in layers, that's all built around the drum track. And you've got Robert, constant in the
middle, and everything starts to spiral around him. It's all done with panning.[11]
In another interview, Page commented:
"When the Levee Breaks" is probably the most subtle thing on [the album] as far as production goes because
each 12 bars has something new about it, though at first it might not be apparent. There's a lot of different
effects on there that at the time had never been used before. Phased vocals, a backwards echoed harmonica
solo.[5]
Cultural references
Led Zeppelin's version of the song appears in a trailer for the 2011 Zack Snyder film Sucker Punch, but is not
featured in the film itself.[12]
Other versions
Several other artists have covered the song or played it live:
The Beastie Boys sampled John Bonham's drum riff for their song "Rhymin' and Stealin'"
The Seattle based hip-hop group Dyme Def sampled the drums on their song "Do Something" from the 2010
album Sex Tape.
The Enigma musical project sampled the drum beat for the controversial and famous song Return to Innocence
and Gravity of Love
Page and Plant had performed it on their MTV Unplugged appearance and their 1995-96 world tour, swapping it
with "Nobody's Fault but Mine" at times.[6] [7] John Paul Jones worked the song into the tour for his two solo
albums.[7]
With Plant playing guitar along with T-Bone Burnett's band, Alison Krauss sang it for the CMT Crossroads TV
special starring Plant and Krauss, to promote their album Raising Sand.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss regularly covered the song during their tour of USA and Europe in April and May
2008.[13]
Led Zeppelin parody cover band Dread Zeppelin covered it on 5,000,000.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra performed a version of the Led Zeppelin cover on the CD Kashmir:

Hardcore punk band Judge recorded a cover version during the sessions for their final EP There Will Be Quiet
(1990). The song appeared first on the CD edition of the EP, and later on their anthology What It Meant: The
Complete Discography.
W.A.S.P. released a version on the bonus disk of The Crimson Idol in 1991.
John Campbell covered it on his Howlin' Mercy album in 1993.

"White Summer" is a guitar instrumental by English rock guitarist Jimmy Page, recorded with both The Yardbirds
and, later, with Led Zeppelin.
The Yardbirds version

Page initially recorded "White Summer" for the Yardbirds' final album, Little Games. An alternate take has been
released on Cumular Limit. Page performed "White Summer" live with the group, and it also appears on the album
Live Yardbirds: Featuring Jimmy Page - the latter being a recording of a concert by the Yardbirds at the Anderson
Theatre in New York City on 30 March 1968. Page would play the piece solo or with just percussion accompaniment
during Yardbirds concerts. When playing the song live with The Yardbirds, Page used a Danelectro guitar.[1] In an
interview he gave in 1977, he commented:
[1]
I used a special tuning for [the song]; the low string down to D, then A, D, G, A and D. Its like a modal tuning, a sitar tuning, in fact.
"White Summer" is based around the traditional Irish melody "She Moved Through the Fair", and specifically the
British folk guitarist Davey Graham's arrangement of the song, which was the first recorded example of a piece
played in DADGAD tuning (of which Graham was the originator). By incorporating elements from Indian rgas,
Page hoped to demonstrate the similarities in the modality of the Celtic folk tradition and the music of the Orient.
"White Summer"

This recording comes from the live BBC broadcast made from the Playhouse Theatre on 27 June 1969, for the pilot
of Radio One's In Concert series, which took place during the band's U.K. Tour of Summer 1969.[2] Middle Eastern,
Egyptian and Indian styles are incorporated into the song, which is played in the DADGAD tuning.
As with most of the live versions of this song, Page dove-tailed the end of it straight into the instrumental "Black
Mountain Side", which was a track from Led Zeppelin's first album. "Black Mountain Side" is also based on a
traditional folk song. The recording remained shelved for many years, but was eventually included on the 1990 Led
Zeppelin Box Set under the combined title "White Summer/Black Mountain Side". The piece was later included as a
bonus track on the 1993 boxed set The Complete Studio Recordings.
Jimmy Page often performed "White Summer/Black Mountain Side" at Led Zeppelin concerts as part of the standard
set list during 1968-1970 and again on the 1977, 1979 and 1980 tours, segueing it with "Kashmir". He used his
Danelectro guitar to play this piece, as shown on the Led Zeppelin DVD which includes his performance of the song
at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970.
On 26 April 1970, Page performed the piece on the Julie Felix Show. Page would also play versions of this song
when he was with The Firm, and again during his Outrider tour, seguing into White Summer/Black Mountain Side in
the solo section for "Midnight Moonlight".

The song was recorded by various rock musicians, including Jeff Beck on his album Truth (1968), and most
famously by English rock band Led Zeppelin on its debut album Led Zeppelin (1969).
Since the Led Zeppelin version was released in 1969, months after Beck's, he accused them of stealing his idea. This,
along with the overall similarity between the sound of Led Zeppelin and that of Truth, led to a long rift between Beck
and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.[1] Beck and Page had been friends for years at that point, having both previously
played as members of The Yardbirds[2] . Interestingly, Led Zeppelin bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones had
played the organ on Beck's version of the song as part of his previous work as a session musician.
In an interview he gave in 1977, Page commented:
[Led Zeppelin had] done our first LP ... with You Shook Me, and then I heard [Beck had] done You Shook
Me ... I was terrified because I thought theyd be the same. But I hadnt even known hed done it, and he
"You Shook Me"

hadnt known that we had.[3]
In another interview, also given by Page in 1977, he elaborated:
[Beck] had the same sort of taste in music as I did. That's why you'll find on the early LPs we both did a song
like "You Shook Me." It was the type of thing we'd both played in bands. Someone told me he'd already
recorded it after we'd already put it down on the first Zeppelin album. I thought, "Oh dear, it's going to be
identical," but it was nothing like it, fortunately. I just had no idea he'd done it. It was on Truth but I first heard
it when I was in Miami after we'd recorded our version. It's a classic example of coming from the same area
musically, of having a similar taste.[2]
For his part, Beck has said that he first heard Page had also recorded the song when Page himself played it to him:
He said, "Listen to this. Listen to Bonzo, this guy called John Bonham that I've got." And so I said I would,
and my heart just sank when I heard "You Shook Me". I looked at him and said "Jim, what?" and the tears
were coming out with anger. I thought "This is a piss-take, it's got to be." I mean, there's Truth still spinning on
everybody's turntable, and this turkey's come out with another version. Oh boy ... then I realised it was serious,
and he did have this heavyweight drummer, and I thought "Here we go again" - pipped at the post kind of
thing.[4]
On the Led Zeppelin recording, Jones double tracked the organ and the electric piano. Page used his "backward
echo" technique on this towards the end with Robert Plant's screaming vocals and the guitar. This production
technique involved hearing the echo before the main sound instead of after it, achieved by turning the tape over and
employing the echo on a spare track, then turning the tape back over again to get the echo preceding the signal. Page
had originally developed the method when recording the single "Ten Little Indians" with The Yardbirds in 1967.[5]
"You Shook Me" was one of the first Led Zeppelin songs to feature the call-and-response effect of blues style music,
a style used frequently by the band on subsequent studio tracks and live in concert.[1] Jimmy Page uses a slide on this
track and the song opens with a blues lick reminiscent to that of Elmore James. Perhaps because the song so
effectively showcases the talents of all four band members, it was played frequently during early Led Zeppelin
concerts. From 1973, however, the song was dropped from the band's live setlist as the group began to incorporate
more material from subsequent albums into its on-stage performances. (In fact, in its entirety the song was played
until October 1969, and until 1973 it was from time to time added as a part of "Whole Lotta Love").
Jimmy Page performed this song on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of "You Shook Me"
performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.

"Your Time Is Gonna Come" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on their 1969 dbut album Led
Zeppelin.
Guitarist Jimmy Page played an out-of-tune Fender 10-string steel guitar on this track.[1] In an interview he gave in
1977, Page stated that he only learned how to play the steel guitar during the sessions for the first album.[2] Bassist
John Paul Jones played an organ, using a pedal to create the bass.
The lyrics concern an unfaithful girl who will pay the price for her deceitful ways. The lines "One of these days and
it won't be long / You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone" quote the Ray Charles song "I Believe to My Soul,"
demonstrating Robert Plant's affinity for R&B.
The only known performance of this song at Led Zeppelin concerts is a short snippet during a show at Tokyo on 24
September 1971 during the "Whole Lotta Love" medley, of which a bootleg recording exists. The name of the
bootleg is Light and Shade.
Jimmy Page performed "Your Time Is Gonna Come" on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of the
song performed by Page and The Black Crowes is on the album Live at the Greek.
Slash, the former lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, has said that "Your Time Is Gonna Come" is his favourite Led
Zeppelin song. Record producer Rick Rubin has remarked, "It's like the drums are playing a big rock song and the
guitars are playing a gentle folk song. And it's got one of the most upbeat choruses of any Zeppelin song, but the
words are so dark."[3]

Remains the Same is a concert film by the EnglandEnglish Rock musicrock Musical ensembleband Led Zeppelin.
The recording of the film took place during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City,
during the band's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19731973 concert tour of the United States. The film
premiered on 20 October 1976, at Cinema I in New York and at Warner West End Cinema in London two weeks
later.Chris Welch (1994) Led Zeppelin, London: Orion Books. ISBN 0-85797-930-3, pp. 68-69, 83. It was
accompanied by The Song Remains the Same (album)a soundtrack album of the same name. The DVD of the film
was released on 31 December 1999.Promotional materials stated that the film was "the band's special way of giving
their millions of friends what they had been clamouring fora personal and private tour of Led Zeppelin. For the
first time the world has a front row seat on Led Zeppelin." A reissue of the film, including previously unreleased
footage, was released on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc on 20 November 2007, by Warner Home Video. Led
Zeppelin Readies Fall Reissue BonanzaBackground Since late 1969, Led Zeppelin had been planning on filming one
of their live performances for a projected movie documentary of the band. The group's manager, Peter Grant (music
manager)Peter Grant, believed that they would be better served by the big screen than by television, because he
regarded the sound quality of the latter as unsatisfactory. The first attempt was the filming (by Peter Whitehead and
Stanley Dorfman) of Led Zeppelin's Royal Albert Hall performance on 9 January 1970, but the lighting was judged
to be mediocre, and the film was shelved (this footage was later remastered and featured on the 2003 release Led
Zeppelin (DVD)Led Zeppelin DVD).On the morning of 20 July 1973, during the band's concert tour of the United
States, Peter Grant made a contact with Joe Massot, who had previously directed Wonderwall (film)Wonderwall.
Massot was already known to Grant as he and his wife had moved into a house in Berkshire in 1970, where they
made friends with their neighbours, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and his girlfriend Charlotte Martin.Welch,
Chris (2002) Peter Grant: The Man Who Led Zeppelin, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-7119-9195-8, pp.
112-138. Grant had previously turned down offers by Massot to make a film of the band, but with the huge success
of the band's current tour, Grant changed his mind and offered him the job of movie directordirector. As Grant
recalled:It all started in the Sheraton Hotel, Boston. We'd talked about a film for years and Jimmy had known Joe
Massot was interested - so we called them and over they came. It was all very quickly arranged.Lewis, Dave and
Pallett, Simon (1997) Led Zeppelin: The Concert File, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 978-0-7119-5307-9, p.
90.Massot hurriedly assembled a crew in time for Led Zeppelin's last leg of the tour starting on 23 July 1973, in
Baltimore. He subsequently filmed the group's three concert performances at Madison Square Garden on the nights
of 27, 28, and 29 July 1973. The film was entirely financed by the band and shot on 35mm with a 24-track

quadraphonic sound recording. The live footage in the US alone cost $85,000. Original filming The plans to film the
shows at Madison Square Garden were threatened when the local trades union tried to block the British film crew
from working. The band's attorneys negotiated with the union and the crew was eventually allowed to film the
concerts.The footage of the band arriving at the airport in their private jet airliner, The Starship, and travelling in the
motor cavalcade to the concert was filmed in Pittsburgh, before their show at Three Rivers Stadium on 24 July
1973.For their three New York performances, the band members wore exactly the same clothes to facilitate seamless
editing of the film, except for John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page who wore different sets of attire on some of the
nights, which created continuity problems. Page is seen wearing a different dragon suit in "Rock and Roll" and the
"Celebration Day" remaster. In an interview from 1997 Jones said that the reason he didn't wear the same stage
clothes was that he asked the crew if they would be filming on those nights and was told no. "I'd think 'not to worry,
I'll save the shirt I wore the previous night for the next filming'. Then what would happen is that I'd get onstage and
see the cameras ready to roll." As Led Zeppelin's popularity soared throughout the 1970s, Peter Grant became
increasingly notorious for being brutally protective of his band and their finances. The Song Remains the Same
captures one such exchange between him and a concert promoter. In the scene, Grant uses the words 'fuck' and 'cunt'
eighteen times combined. When Warner Bros. approved the film they did so on the proviso that these words be
'Bleep censorbleeped' out. Clifton took the optical print and bleeped the words, meaning the words were inaudible
and the film was given an appropriate rating. However, on every other print the words were retained and were fully
audible.In the scene where Peter Grant is driven to the police station to be questioned about the theft from the safe
deposit box at the The Drake Hotel, New YorkDrake Hotel, he has his arm outside the police car. According to an
interview conducted in 1989, he explained the reason he wasn't handcuffed was that the policeman driving the car
used to be a drummer in a semi-professional band which had supported The Yardbirds on one of its US college tours
in the late-1960s. Grant had at the time been manager of The Yardbirds. The money stolen from the safe deposit box
at the Drake Hotel was never recovered and no one has ever been charged.Liner notes by Cameron Crowe for The
Song Remains the Same (album)The Song Remains the Same, reissued version, 2007.The scenes of police chasing a
half-naked intruder and of Grant berating the promoter for receiving kickbacks were both shot at the Baltimore Civic
Center on 23 July 1973. Grant purportedly recommended the "Dazed and Confused" sequence wherein the camera
zooms into Page's eyes and cuts to the scene.Some unused backstage shots filmed at Baltimore and at Pittsburgh later
found their way into the promotional video for "Travelling Riverside Blues", released in 1990. Subsequent filming
and release Unhappy with the progress of the film, Grant had Massot removed from the project and Australian
director Peter Clifton was hired in his place in early 1974. Massot was offered a few thousand pounds in
compensation. Peter Grant later sent someone to Massot's house to collect the film. However, Massot had hidden the
film elsewhere and so instead an expensive editing machine owned by Massot was taken as collateral. Massot served
a writ, leading to a period of stalemate which was finally broken when Grant and Led Zeppelin's lawyer Steve Weiss
agreed to pay Massot the money he was owed, after which he delivered the film to the band. Massot was not invited
to attend the premiere of the film at New York but he attended anyway, buying a ticket from a Ticket resalescalper
outside the theatre.Clifton, in recognising that there were crucial holes in the concert footage, suggested that the
entire show be recreated at Shepperton Studios in August 1974, on a mock-up of the Madison Square Garden stage.
Close-ups and distance footage of the band members could then be slipped into the live sequences, which made up
the bulk of the concert footage seen in the film. When it was agreed that the band would meet at Shepperton Studios
for filming, Jones had recently had his hair cut short, so he had to wear a wig.Snow, Mat, "The Secret Life of a
Superstar", Mojo magazine, December 2007. Robert Plant's teeth had also been fixed between the 1973 and 1974
filmings. In the May 2008 issue of Uncut Magazine, Page recalled the events surrounding the shooting of additional
footage at Shepperton Studios:... I'm sort of miming at Shepperton to what I'd played at Madison Square Garden, but
of course, although I've got a rough approximation of what I was playing from night to night, it's not exact. So the
film that came out in the '70s is a bit warts-and-all.Cavanaugh, David. "Jimmy Page, 'Mission Accomplished.'"
Uncut Magazine. Take 132 (May 2008): 50.A plan to shoot additional footage on the band's Autumn 1975 U.S. tour
was abandoned due to Plant's car crash in Rhodes, Greece.For both the film and accompanying soundtrack album,
415

the songs were heavily edited, and until both the film and album were re-released in 2007, in some cases versions of
song appearing in the film were different from the one heard on the album. A comprehensive study of how the audio
sources for each song were edited is available at The Garden Tapes. Songs performed by the group at the three
Madison Square Garden concerts but not included in the original film include "Celebration Day", "The Ocean (Led
Zeppelin song)The Ocean", "Misty Mountain Hop", "Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin song)Over the
Hills and Far Away" and "Thank You (Led Zeppelin song)Thank You". Some of these songs were included on the
soundtrack album of the film and, later, on the Led Zeppelin (DVD)Led Zeppelin DVD.In 1976 a midnight
screening of the film was organised by Atlantic Records prior to its release, at which label president Ahmet Ertegn
reportedly fell asleep.The film was finally completed by early 1976, 18 months behind schedule and over-budget.
Peter Grant later quipped "It was the most expensive home movie ever made". It grossed $200,000 in its first week at
the box office. Following the film's completion, the band experienced a major falling out with Peter Clifton.
Suspecting that he had 'stolen' negatives of the film, Peter Grant ordered that his house be searched. They did find
some footage, but this turned out to be a collection of the best 'home movie' footage which Clifton had intended to
give to the band members as a gift. Clifton was also annoyed at the decision to remove from the film's credits the
names of all the people who had worked on editing, make up and effects. Unlike Massot, however, Clifton was
invited to both the New York and London premieres of the film.Fantasy sequences With the intention of giving an
insight into the individual personalities in the band, several out-of-concert 'fantasy sequences' were shot by Massot
for each of the band members, as well as for Peter Grant and tour manager Richard Cole. The sequences are as
follows: as mob hitmen. Grant and Cole were filmed as hitmen driving towards Hammerwood Park estate in Sussex
in a 1928 Pierce-Arrow car. Roy Harper also makes an uncredited guest appearance as one of the 'greedy
millionaires' portrayed at a business meeting of multi-national corporations. Massot envisioned Grant and Cole in the
hitman roles, as it symbolised the tough business decisions they made on behalf of the band. The female passenger
wearing a scarf with Peter Grant driving on a country road is his wife, Gloria. Massot had originally shot Grant
walking a cameraman around a collection of antique cars, but this footage was quickly abandoned. John Paul Jones
(musician)John Paul Jones was filmed first at home with his wife Mo, and reading Jack and the Beanstalk to his two
daughters, Tamara and Jacinda, before receiving a call to join the band on their American concert. For his fantasy
sequence, Jones initially wished to use footage from the original Doctor Syn#Doctor Syn .281937.29Doctor Syn
film, but was prevented from doing so as this film was owned by Disney. Instead, his fantasy sequence involved a
reinterpretation of the film. Jones portrays a masked gentleman known as "The Scarecrow," who travels at night on
horseback with three others and returns home to Sussex, an ordinary family man. The three other horsemen with him
are a reference to the other band members. Jimmy Page's girlfriend, Charlotte Martin, and baby daughter Scarlet
Page can be briefly seen during the closing moments of this sequence, which was filmed in October 1973. The
thematic music is "No Quarter (song)No Quarter."Robert Plant was captured relaxing on his WalesWelsh country
farm with his wife Maureen, and children Karac and Carmen. His fantasy sequence involves him being a knight
rescuing a fair maiden (played by Virginia Parker), who is a symbolic representation for his vision of the ideal - his
personal search for the Holy Grail. Scenes from the sword fight were filmed at Raglan Castle in Wales while the
sailing, horseback riding and beach scenes were shot at Aberdovey then Merionethshire and now Gwynedd, in
October 1973. The thematic music consists of both "The Song Remains the Same (song)The Song Remains the
Same" and "The Rain Song." Jimmy Page is filmed sitting by a lake next to his 18th century manor at Plumpton,
East Sussex, playing a hurdy gurdy. The tune played is called "Autumn Lake" and the scene was filmed in October
1973. Page's fantasy role involved climbing up the face of a snow capped mountain near Boleskine House, Loch
Ness during the nights of a full moon on December 10 and 11, 1973.The act was meant to show Page on a quest of
self enlightenment, and deep understanding, by seeking out the The HermitHermit, a character featured in many
Tarot packs. The mythological Hermit is seen on the summit of the mountain; Staff of Wisdom in one hand, and in
the other, the Lantern of Knowledge held out abreast over the world below. Being a Threshold Guardian, he
represents an obstacle the seeker must overcome to achieve true enlightenment. At the culmination of Page's quest,
he reaches out to touch The Hermit, only to discover, paradoxically, that he, himself, IS the Hermit. The Hermit

features on the artwork of the Led Zeppelin IVuntitled fourth album. The thematic music is "Dazed and Confused
(song)Dazed and Confused."John Bonham was shot with his wife Pat and son Jason Bonham on their country estate,
Old Hyde Farm in Worcestershire. It is interesting to note that part of his fantasy includes him spending time at
home with his family. Bonham was known for falling into deep depressions while on tour away from his family. His
heavy drinking, which ultimately resulted in his death, is partly attributed to his homesickness. The game of snooker
was shot at The Old Hyde Hotel and the Harley-Davidson riding near Blackpool. His fantasy sequence is the most
straightforward of all the members, with Bonham drag racing an AA Fueler at 260mph at Santa Pod Raceway,
Wellingborough, Northants, UK, in October 1973, and its thematic music is the instrumental "Moby Dick
(instrumental)Moby Dick." Critical reaction and popularityFor its New York premiere, Cinema I was equipped with
a quadrophonic sound system hired from Showco in Dallas. For the West Coast premieres, no such audio boosting
was employed. These premieres, along with the London premiere, were attended by the members of the band.The
film performed well at the box office, grossing an estimated $10 million by 1977.Blake, Mark, "The Keeper of the
Flame", Mojo magazine, December 2007. Despite this, the film was reviewed negatively by critics for its perceived
amateurish production and self-indulgent content, with the fantasy sequences in particular coming in for some of the
harshest criticism.Erlewine, Stephen Thomas. "Led Zeppelin Biography". Allmusic. . Retrieved 2008-11-11. The
film was particularly unsuccessful in the UK, where the band had not performed live for over two years as a result of
being on tax exile. The band were thus unable to promote themselves at home, leaving them out of the public
spotlight.Lewis, Dave (ed.) The Tight But Loose Files: Celebration II. (Page 80) Omnibus Press, 2003 ISBN
978-1-84449-056-1However, amongst fans the film has retained its popularity. Until the release of the Led Zeppelin
DVD in 2003, The Song Remains the Same was the only official live visual document that followers of the band
were able to access. It became a cult favourite at late-night movie houses, and its subsequent release on video and
then DVD has ensured a growing base of fans.Many of these fans, and some members of the band itself, regard the
performances filmed at Madison Square Garden as merely average for the time, coming as they did at the end of a
long and exhausting tour, but nonetheless representative of the generally high standard of the band's live
performances during this era. In an interview he gave with New Musical Express in November 1976, Page
stated:The Song Remains The Same is a great film, but there's no point in making excuses. It's just a reasonably
honest statement of where we were at that particular time. It's very difficult for me to watch it now, but I'd like to see
it in a year's time just to see how it stands up.Page made good on his promise. When reviewing material for the Led
Zeppelin (DVD)Led Zeppelin DVD in 2003, he decided to include footage from this same series of
concerts.However, other members of the band were less charitable, with Jones later admitting that the film was "a
massive compromise" and Plant denouncing it as "a load of bollocks."For all of its technical faults, many today view
the film as an interesting historical document that captured the band at a particular point in time when its popularity
was about to peak, and, on a more general level, as an accurate representation of the excesses of the music and
show-business industries in the 1970s. In a review published in Mojo (magazine)Mojo magazine following the film's
2007 reissue, James McNair gave the film four out of five stars and wrote:The good news is that Jimmy Page and
fellow production wunderkind Kevin Shirley have been meticulous as regards quality control. The three-night, July
1973 stint at Madison square garden that fuelled the film's original soundtrack has been plundered afresh ... In truth,
2003's DVD package houses better live performances, but if you want to catch Zeppelin in all their preposterous,
'because we can' glory, The Song Remains ... is the one.McNair, James, "Vanity Fair!", Mojo magazine, December

Remains The Same for the first time with all fifteen songs from the original Madison Square Garden concerts. This
coincided with the reissue of the accompanying soundtrack to the film, available on CD. The DVD features newly
remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and includes more than 40minutes of added
bonus material, including never-before-released performance footage of "Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin
song)Over the Hills and Far Away" and "Celebration Day", plus performances of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The
Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)The Ocean", a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Peter Grant, vintage TV
footage from the The Drake Hotel, New YorkDrake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand, and a
Cameron Crowe radio show. This version was released on standard DVDs as well as Blu-Ray and HD DVD. A
Collector's Edition box set including a t-shirt with the original album cover, placards from the New York shows, and
several glossy photographs was released as well. Due to legal complications, the band decided not to change the
video portion of the original movie for the rerelease. Instead, sound engineer Kevin Shirley created an entirely new
mix of the three 1973 Madison Square Garden concerts so that the audio portion of the film would better match the
on-screen visuals. The audio on the new CD release is nearly identical to the soundtrack of the new DVD release.
One difference is that the songs included on the CDs that were not featured in the original movie are included as
bonus tracks on the DVD.Tom Watson, Kevin Shirley Talks about Revisiting Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The

Background and production Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer of the DVD, Jimmy Page, commenced work on the
project in the early 2000s. While fans had been trading poor quality versions of Led Zeppelin video material for
years, this was the first official archival video release to contain any footage of the band playing live.Lindsay Planer,
" Review of Led Zeppelin [DVD Box set]", Allmusic. In an interview he gave after the release of the DVD, Page
explained the impetus behind the project: The reason for [the DVD] was that there was no visual material [of the
band] that was out there really. The studio albums had been put out in many different shapes and forms, but this was
something that was sorely missing because [Led] Zeppelin built its material on live performances. So that had to be
done.Led Zeppelin and the Giants of Rock, DVD released by Classic Rock magazine, 2008.The idea for a live
chronology had, however, dated back some time before this. As was explained by Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant
in 2003: The idea of creating a Led Zeppelin collage has been in the works for ... fifteen years. We just didn't really
have the time to put it together as a project because there was so much concentrated work that was required. So, as
we all finished our individual projects, Jimmy Page took the helm along with some technical guys and this is what
we've got.For the DVD, Page collaborated with music producer Kevin Shirley, with whom Page worked when he
was performing with The Black Crowes. Shirley recalled: I produced the Black Crowes, and Jimmy joined them for
a run of live dates in 1999. I saw the show in New York, and then I went to California and recorded the shows, took
the tapes away, and fixed them up a little and mixed them. I did Live at the Greek without any input from anyone, as
it wasn't originally going to be an official release. But I think everyone was impressed with it; certainly Jimmy said
he was. Then, when Jimmy decided to do a new [Led Zeppelin] DVD, he started looking for someone familiar with
the modern applications necessary for surround sound mixing. If you listen to the Royal Albert Hall [concert]
opening in 5.1, you can see Jimmy had this audio concept really early on of giving people a sense of the band going
onstage and the audience swells around you. We had a meeting to discuss the requirements needed for the DVD
project audio, and afterward, he asked if I would be interested in helping him.Candace Horgan, " Led Zeppelin",
Mix, 1 October 2003.Page, with Shirely and the producer and creative director Dick Carruthers, worked for the best
part of a year to research, compile, load, mix and present the material. Much of the footage which was included on
the DVD was painstakingly restored for several months, before being mixed at Sarm West Studios in London. In all,

Led Zeppelin
132 cans of film and two sets of two-inch video tape were examined for the project.Harry Guerin, " Led Zeppelin
DVD", RTE Entertainment.Some of the video tapes suffered from a common fault called 'Sticky Shed Syndrome'
where the bonding agent holding the magnetic particles to the tape backing decomposes to the point where the oxide
is scraped off during playback. The tapes consequently had to be restored by baking them in ovens at 55C (131F)
for three weeks in order for them to be played back. The audio portions were digitally remixed for stereo and 5.1
surround mixes. As part of the production of the DVD, Page also put out an open request for bootleg footage for
specific concert dates to bootleg traders, many of whom complied. Critical receptionMichael Azerrad, " Led
Zeppelin - DVD", Rolling Stone May 20, 2003. Upon its release the DVD received excellent reviews. Michael
Azerrad of Rolling Stone magazine gave the DVD four stars, describing it as the "Holy Grail of heavy metal" and
"one of the best rock documentaries ever made." As of November 2007, the DVD has had an overwhelmingly
positive number of reviews on website Amazon, with 560 out of 618 reviewers giving it five stars, Amazon.com:

Bootlegs
The Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings are a collection of audio and video recordings of musical performances by
English rock band Led Zeppelin which were never officially released by the band, or under other legal authority. The
recordings consist of both live concert performances and outtakes from studio sessions conducted by the band. Many
hundreds of Led Zeppelin bootlegs exist, and are widely collected by fans.
Overview
Led Zeppelin were, throughout the decade of the 1970s, one of the world's most frequently bootlegged performers,
and to this day remain one of the most bootlegged artists in the history of rock music.[1] In August 1999, the band
topped the list of Britain's most bootlegged musicians with 384 bootleg titles, compiled by the Anti-Piracy Unit of
British Phonographic Industry.[2] [3] This phenomenon was due partly to the popularity of the band, which has
ensured a large and enthusiastic market for unauthorised recordings, and partly to the large size of the audiences who
attended their performances, which made the effective detection of covert recording equipment at these concerts
virtually impossible.
Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant, sometimes took extraordinary measures to combat the practice of live bootleg
recordings at Led Zeppelin concerts. He is reported to have personally visited record stores in London which were
selling Led Zeppelin bootlegs and demanded all copies be handed over. He also monitored the crowd at Led
Zeppelin concerts so as to locate anything which resembled bootleg recording equipment. At one concert at
Vancouver in 1971 he saw what he thought was recording equipment on the floor of the venue and personally
ensured that the equipment be destroyed, only to find out later that the equipment was a noise pollution unit being
operated by city officials to test the volume of the concert.[4] Similarly, at the Bath Festival in 1970, he personally
threw a bucket of water over unauthorised recording equipment.[5]
These efforts were not enough to prevent the release of a flood of Led Zeppelin bootlegs from the 1970s onwards. As
is explained by Led Zeppelin archivist Dave Lewis:
Bootlegs and Led Zeppelin have been synonymous for over three decades. Despite manager Peter Grant's
heavy-handedness when dealing with those he caught taping their shows, the band are the most bootlegged act
of all time, outstripping even The Beatles, [Bob] Dylan, [Bruce] Springsteen and the [Rolling] Stones. Their
final seven shows in the UK alone (live at Earl's Court and two at Knebworth), account for over 100 different
releases between them. Just about every amateur recording of the band's live gigs has [been released]."[6]
423
Earliest bootlegs
During the 1970s, bootleg labels such as Smilin' Ear, Kornyfone, Dragonfly, Trade Mark of Quality, Condor and
Toasted released unofficial recordings of several Led Zeppelin shows on vinyl. The following table includes a
sample of these recordings. Most of them derived from audience tapes, though a few (such as Destroyer) were
sourced from soundboard recordings.

The 1980s: the release of the soundboards

In the late 1980s the number of available soundboard recordings of Led Zeppelin shows increased significantly as a
result of original soundboard tapes having been stolen from the home of their owner, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy
Page, and then copied for underground release. Also stolen were copies of several rare studio out-takes, which were
released under titles such as Jennings Farm Blues (featuring run-throughs of an electric version of "Bron-Y-Aur
Stomp" recorded in October 1969) and Studio Daze (including different studio mixes of "Since I've Been Loving
You", "No Quarter" and "All My Love"). "Midnight Moonlight", a song later recorded by "The Firm", is available
through studio bootlegs.
The 1990s: the CD era

The 1990s saw a multitude of Led Zeppelin bootlegs become available on the CD format, with limited-edition and
higher quality releases being produced in Japan on labels such as Tarantura and Antrabata. The most significant 90s
label TDOLZ (The Diagrams of Led Zeppelin) has covered most of the circulating concerts for that period releasing
over 100 titles. In 1999, the BBC reported that the number of Led Zeppelin bootleg titles in circulation exceeded
those of The Beatles.
Some notable Led Zeppelin bootlegs released on CD include:
Burn Like A Candle : The complete show from the Los Angeles Forum on June 25, 1972.
Pigeon Blood : Recorded at Tampa Stadium, Florida on May 5, 1973.
Knebworth : Both of the band's performances at the Knebworth Festival in August 1979.
The 2000s and present: Empress Valley soundboard breakthrough

Numerous previously uncirculated complete high quality soundboard recordings were released by newly established
Empress Valley label (also referenced as Empress Valley Supreme Disc) which is the semi-successor of retired
Tarantura:

Bootlegs trading on the Web

In the 80s and 90s before broadband Internet access became widely available, bootlegs (CD-Rs or Compact Cassette
copies) circulated mostly via snail mail. Today all of the unauthorised Led Zeppelin material is available on the
Internet, mostly on BitTorrent resources in lossless media formats. Decoding and redistributing audio in lossy
formats (such as MP3) is strongly frowned upon among the trading community as it diminishes the quality of the
audio and cam make it difficult for recipients to know if they are receiving the best available copy. During 2000s
previously uncirculated audience recordings surfaced mostly on the BitTorrent resources.
Notable previously unheard audience recordings that surfaced on the Web from 2000's:

2007 court case

In July 2007 Page appeared in a Glasgow courtroom to give testimony and observe evidence on behalf of Led
Zeppelin against an alleged bootlegger. Robert Langley was charged with, and denied, twelve counts of producing
and selling products without copyright permission.
Page was shown hundreds of CDs and DVDs, ranging from his solo material to his time with Led Zeppelin and the
Yardbirds, which Langley was allegedly selling in Scotland during 2005. Many contain footage and audio from
Page's personal collection, stolen from his home in the early 1980s.[7] [8]
The goods were found on sale as far away as New York, where shop-owners thought they were official. Page later
said "If you have something like this that appears legitimate then it is just not right".[7]

also noted for its original cover artwork by William Stout, who drew many of the covers for some of the original
vinyl Led Zeppelin bootlegs in the 1970s. The release has been described as "a must for any collector".The album
title is derived from a comment Led Zeppelin singer, Robert Plant, delivered from the stage during this concert, in
which he mentioned that their fifth album did not yet have a title: "It's not gonna be called Led Zeppelin Five, it's got
every possibility of being called Burn That Candle" (The album, released the following year, would ultimately be
entitled Houses of the Holy).For many years this audience recording was all that existed from this show. In 2003, an
edit of professionally-recorded soundboard tapes from this show and the subsequent Long Beach, CaliforniaLong
Beach show was officially released on the album How the West Was Won (Led Zeppelin album)How the West Was
Won. However, this bootleg, as an internet download, contains the entire, unedited version of the show. There are

is a bootleg recording of a rock concert by EnglandEnglish band Led Zeppelin, performed on June 23, 1977 at the
The Forum (Inglewood, California)Los Angeles Forum in Los Angeles, California, a show which came towards the
end of the band's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19771977 North American concert tour. Led Zeppelin official
website: concert summaryThe title For Badgeholders Only most likely comes from Robert Plant's numerous
references to "Badgeholders " (A slang term for a Groupie) throughout the concert. For example, before performing
"Trampled Under Foot", Plant asks "Is there anybody on the spotlights who could find us a badgeholder?"When it
first appeared, this release was notable not only for the band's strong performance and superb sound quality
recording, but also for the surprise guest, Keith Moon from The Who.Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) Led

after the equally-famous June 21, 1977 show, with that concert having been immortalised on the bootleg Listen to
This Eddie. However, whereas the "Eddie" bootleg featured a recording made by audience member Mike Millard,
the recording that appeared on the original "For Badgeholders Only" vinyl bootleg was the work of an unknown
taper. Millard did make his own recording of the June 23rd concert, but his tape did not appear until years later,
when it was released on other bootlegs of the show. As with all bootlegs that have been made of Led Zeppelin
concerts, these recordings were done in secret, and were issued illegally on vinyl recordsvinyl and CD without the
permission of the band.The original vinyl issue of "For Badgeholders Only" was released on two separate double-lp
releases, with the songs from the concert featured out-of-sequence, spread out over the two sets. The first release was
simply titled "For Badgeholders Only", and came packaged in a plastic-wrapped sleeve, with a photocopied insert
featuring a live shot of Page and a matrix number of "LZ 1234". "For Badgeholders Only (Part 2)", featured a picture
of Plant and a matrix number of "LZ 7", and the remaining songs from the show, save for "The Song Remains the
Same", which was not featured on either release. The labels on the records themselves all bore the same logo of a
picture of a dragonfly on one side, and the words "Dragonfly Records" on the other. Later pressings of the album
bore alternate labels on the records themselves, such as "Ruthless Rhymes", while still using the same covers. As has
since been revealed in recent years, it turns out that there were actually multiple tapers in the audience who were able
to record the "Badgeholders" show. However, it appears that none of them were able to capture the entire concert
without missing sections of music, or entire songs altogether. Because of this, collectors and bootleg labels alike
have taken it upon themselves to compile the best parts from the numerous sources, so as to create a seamless
listening experience of the complete concert. Given the potentially limitless possibilities in mixing the multiple
sources, as well as the good sound quality that most of them share, this concert has been released on bootleg many
times. In most cases, the bootlegs have used the same "For Badgeholders Only" name as the title, even though the

content on the release may be different from other releases that use the same name. Some bootleg labels have opted
to use different names for the show, with one such release having been titled "Sgt. Page's Badgeholders Club Band",
being a play on both the "For Badgeholders Only" moniker, as well as the Beatles' album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts
Club Band. That bootleg release has since been discovered to have been directly copied from an existing fan-made
compilation, made years before, entitled "Zeppelin Digital Volume 3".Set List Of The Complete

summaryOverview The concert was recorded by a member of the audience, Mike Millard, and was later released
illegally on vinyl recordsvinyl without the permission of the band or the taper. The original vinyl issue of the show
was released on Rock Solid Records, and featured the first 60 minutes of the concert, from "The Song Remains the

same group image of the band member's faces from the back cover of Led Zeppelin III, along with the mysterious
obelisk from the cover of Presence (Led Zeppelin album)Presence. The first pressing for the album was on colored
(red) vinyl, numbered 1 of 500. In the 1990s the complete recording of the show became available on CD through
various releases, with most of them using the same "Eddie" title. Millard's recording remains one of the best-known

experience of Millard, who by 1977 had already made several bootleg recordings of other concerts performed at the
Los Angeles Forum. It is believed that he recorded this particular show from row six.The complete Millard recording
lasts 190 minutes and includes the entire concert (including encores). It was the first of six shows at the Los Angeles
Forum by Led Zeppelin, which came towards the end of its Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19771977 North
American concert tour. Millard's recording of the opening number from this concert, "The Song Remains the Same",
was included in the promos menu of the Led Zeppelin (DVD)Led Zeppelin DVD.The performance itself is regarded
by some critics as being one of the best concerts of the 1977 tour,Rey, Luis (1997) Led Zeppelin Live: An Illustrated

Jimmy Page performing lengthy solos and John Bonham playing heavily throughout, hitting triple fillings on many
of the songs. Robert Plant is very talkative during the show and he is in a good voice throughout the performance.
The band is also open for lengthy improvisations, as evidenced on "No Quarter (song)No Quarter", on which John
Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones guides the band to multiple instrumental jams. The title "Listen To This

ability of Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page.Dave Lewis and Simon Pallett (1997) Led Zeppelin: The Concert File,
London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p. 111. In particular, in an interview that Van Halen had given in
January 1981 to Guitar World magazine, he was quoted as saying "Jimmy Page is an excellent producer. Led
Zeppelin (album)Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II are classics. As a player, he's very good in the studio. I never saw
him play well live. He's very sloppy. He plays like he's got a broken hand and he's two years old. But if you put out a

concert for him when he became too ill to sing. Many audience members expressed disappointment and impatience
with the older musician, but most heard out his lengthy set, which included pieces from the Mirror Ball album
Young had recorded with Pearl Jam. It is considered by collectors to be one of the highlight performances of
Young's decades-long career. Pearl Jam and Neil Young: Polo Field, San Francisco, CA - June 24, 1995

Tours
From September 1968 through the summer
of 1980, English rock group Led Zeppelin
were one of the world's most popular live
music attractions, performing hundreds of
concerts around the world.
History
Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, Led
Zeppelin made numerous concert tours of
the United States, the United Kingdom and
Europe in particular. They performed over
600 concerts,[1] initially playing small clubs
and ballrooms and then, as their popularity
increased, larger venues and arenas as well.
In the early years of their existence, Led
Zeppelin made a concerted effort to
establish themselves as a compelling live
music act. As was recalled by bass player
John Paul Jones:
Robert Plant (left) and Jimmy Page (right) on stage, 1977
[Led] Zeppelin was a live band and that's how we got our reputation. The press hated us in the early days. Our
only way of promotion was to play a lot of live shows, especially in the UK. It used to spread by
word-of-mouth.[2]
However, though the band made several early tours of the UK, by far the bulk of Led Zeppelin's live concerts were
performed in the United States, which was settled on as the primary foundation for their fame and
accomplishment.[3] In 1969, for example, all but thirty-three of the band's 139 shows were performed in the US, and
between the years 1968 and 1971 they made no fewer than nine tours of North America. "It felt like a vacuum and
we'd arrived to fill it," guitarist Jimmy Page once told journalist Cameron Crowe. "It was like a tornado, and it went
rolling across the country."[3] After touring almost incessantly during its early years, Led Zeppelin later limited its
tour appearances to alternating years - 1973, 1975, 1977 and 1979.[4]
From the early 1970s, the commercial and popular drawing power of Led Zeppelin was such that the band began to
embark on major stadium tours which attracted even vaster crowds than they had previously. During their 1973 tour
of the United States, they played to 56,800 fans at Tampa Stadium, Florida, breaking the record set by The Beatles at
Shea Stadium in 1965. Similar crowds were drawn on the Led Zeppelin's subsequent US tours, and they continued to
break attendance records (on April 30, 1977 they played to 76,229 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, Michigan, a world
record attendance for a solo indoor attraction).[5] It is for these reasons that Led Zeppelin, as much as any other band
or artist in this era, is widely credited for helping to establish what has come be known as stadium rock. Many critics
attribute the band's rapid rise as much to their tremendous appeal as a live act as they do to the quality of their studio
albums.

Led Zeppelin also performed at several music festivals over the years, including the Atlanta International and the
Texas International Pop Festivals in 1969, the Bath Festival of Blues in 1969 and the next one in 1970, the "Days on
the Green" in Oakland, California in 1977, and the Knebworth Music Festival in 1979.
Characteristics
Led Zeppelin's reputation as a compelling live act is often attributed to the tight understanding and musical chemistry
achieved between all four group members, combined with a shared willingness to try new things on-stage, which
resulted in dynamic, unpredictable performances. [6] As is noted by Led Zeppelin experts Dave Lewis and Simon
Pallett:
Led Zeppelin live was an extraordinary animal. From the very beginning no two performances were alike.
Such was the creative spark between the four that the basic structures of their songs were repeatedly reworked,
extended and improvised on, making their studio counterparts almost unrecognisable.[7]
Led Zeppelin have been described as the kind of group that actually rehearsed on stage, experimenting with the
reaction of the audiences to new material and letting the pieces mature through the live experience.[8] Several tracks
from their albums were debuted on stage well before their official release on vinyl. Jimmy Page himself has said that
most of the band's songs were designed for live performance.[9]
Every show we did was different. You never knew when you went onstage what you might do by the end of it
... Once a song was recorded, and it went into the set, it began to mutate. The whole improvisational aspect,
the riffs coming out of the ether ... it was a magical vehicle collectively soaring into the stratosphere. And as
more albums came out, the set got longer and longer.[10]
In an interview he gave to Uncut magazine in 2005, Page elaborated:
The beauty of playing in the band was that when we went onstage we never actually knew what was going to
go on within the framework of the songs. They were constantly changing. New parts would come out on the
night. The spontaneity was on the level of ESP, which meant it was always exciting.[11]
Led Zeppelin concerts typically included expanded, live versions of their song repertoire, often incorporating
elements of James Brown, Stax and Motown-influenced soul music and funk (favourites of Jones and drummer John
Bonham). The quartet also loved American rock and roll, being inspired by the exuberant styles of Fats Domino and
Little Richard. Led Zeppelin would additionally perform rockabilly songs originally made famous by Elvis Presley
and Eddie Cochran. As described by Cameron Crowe, "[Led] Zeppelin live was a direct descendant from Elvis' early
shows. Raw, direct, a reminder of when rock was young."[12]
With such shared enthisuasm for playing a diverse range of musical styles coupled with their emphasis on extended
improvisation, Led Zeppelin's concerts frequently extended for several hours. Recalled Jones:
Things got extended a lot to keep ourselves from going mad. Every tour we tried to cut it down, especially in
the later years. We'd say we're only going to play an-hour-and-a-half. After a week, it would creep back up to
two hours. By the end of the tour it's three hours![2]
After their 1977 tour of the United States, the band chose to abandon much of the "mystical" image that surrounded
them up to that point, the members would wear ordinary street clothes during their concerts and the setlist was toned
down by excluding long, elaborate solo numbers like John Bonham's Moby Dick and Jimmy Page's trademark
bowed guitar solo accompanied by a laser show. Note that the latter was included in their four 1979 concerts but
omitted from the 1980 tour.

Recordings and live concert footage

Many of the band's shows have been preserved as Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings, which continue to be prized by
collectors and fans. In addition, footage of Led Zeppelin concerts has been released officially on the band's 1973
concert film The Song Remains the Same, and on the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003). However, unlike other artists of the
era such as The Who and The Rolling Stones, comparatively little official concert footage exists of Led Zeppelin.
This is largely because of the successful efforts of manager Peter Grant to limit the exposure of the band to television
appearances, in order to encourage fans who wanted to see the band to attend Led Zeppelin concerts. Of the few
professionally shot concerts the band did, six are today available to fans through bootlegs. These concerts includes
the two last nights of their five-concert run at Earl's Court in London in May 1975, their show in Seattle's Kingdome
in 1977 and their two shows at Knebworth in August 1979. In addition to these, their Royal Albert Hall performance
from January 1970 is also available but not so attractive due to the fact that the near complete-performance was
released officially on 2003's DVD.

Reunion concerts
Since Led Zeppelin disbanded following the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, the three surviving members
of the band have reunited publicly on-stage on just a few occasions.
On July 13, 1985 they performed at the Live Aid concert at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, for a short set featuring
drummers Tony Thompson and Phil Collins.
In May 1988, at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, with Bonham's son, Jason Bonham, on drums.
On January 12, 1995, at Led Zeppelin's induction into the United States Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For this
latter event, the members played a brief set with Aerosmith's vocalist, Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry, along
with Neil Young and Michael Bell.
On December 10, 2007, at the Ahmet Ertegn Tribute Concert at The O2 in London, with Jason Bonham again
filling in on drums.[13] While Robert Plant made his position regarding a subsequent reunion tour known to the
Sunday Times ("The whole idea of being on a cavalcade of merciless repetition is not what it's all about"), he also
mentioned that he could be in favour of more one-off shows in the near future: "It wouldn't be such a bad idea to

play together from time to time."

Led Zeppelin tour chronology
Scandinavia 1968
United Kingdom 1968
Led Zeppelin's 1968 tour of Scandinavia was a concert tour of Denmark and Sweden by the English rock band. The
tour commenced on September 7 and concluded on September 17, 1968. It was Led Zeppelin's first concert tour.
However, the band was billed under the name "The Yardbirds" at the time.
Overview
Led Zeppelin's debut tour was an outstanding contractual commitment left over from The Yardbirds. The band's first
concert at Teen Club, a school gymnasium in Gladsaxe, Denmark, was performed exactly two months to the day
after The Yardbirds' final concert.[1] The band's manager, Peter Grant, later said of this first concert: "Standing by
the side of the stage, it was obvious that there was special chemistry."[2]
Guitarist Jimmy Page recalled that "the tour went fantastically for us, we left them stomping the floors after every
show."[3] According to singer Robert Plant:
We made no money on the first tour. Nothing at all. Jimmy [Page] put in every penny that he'd gotten from the
Yardbirds and that wasn't much. Until Peter Grant took them over, they didn't make the money they should
have made. So we made the album and took off on a tour with a road crew of one.[4]
Plant also recalled the following:
In Scandinavia we were pretty green; it was very early days and we were tiptoeing with each other. We didn't
have half the recklessness that became for me the whole joy of Led Zeppelin. It was a tentative start.[5]
For these early shows, the band was billed as the "Yardbirds" or "New Yardbirds", despite the fact that Jimmy Page
was now the only surviving link with the previous band. Page later said:
We realised we were working under false pretences, the thing had gone quickly beyond where The Yardbirds
had left off. We all agreed there was no point in retaining the New Yardbirds tag so when we got back from
Scandinavia we decided to change the name [of the band]. It was a fresh beginning for us all.[6]

Led Zeppelin's 1968 tour of the United Kingdom was the first concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on 4 October and concluded on 20 December 1968.
For some of these early shows, the band were billed as the "New Yardbirds". Press releases eventually announced
that they would make their debut under the name 'Led Zeppelin' on October 25 at the University of Surrey (although
posters advertising this concert erroneously continued to bill them as the 'New Yardbirds').[1]
During this tour the band went to Olympic Studios in London to record their debut album, which took a mere 36
studio hours.
There was very little press reaction to this tour.[2]
The band's debut London concert at the Roundhouse on November 9 doubled as singer Robert Plant's wedding
reception.[3]
Tour set list

Exact set lists during this tour are still sketchy, due partly to the lack of early live Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.
Old Yardbirds' live staples such as "Train Kept A-Rollin'", "Dazed and Confused", "White Summer" and possibly
"For Your Love" were performed, in addition to material from the as yet unfinished debut album album, such as:
"Communication Breakdown", I Can't Quit You Baby, "You Shook Me", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", and "How
Many More Times". The band also likely performed a Garnet Mimms cover, "As Long As I Have You", played as a
medley including "Fresh Garbage" (one of the most well-known tracks by the American group Spirit), and possibly
the early John Bonham drum solo piece, "Pat's Delight".[4]

Led Zeppelin's 1968/1969 tour of North America was the first concert tour of North America by the English rock
band. The tour commenced on December 26, 1968 and concluded on February 15, 1969.
Overview
The genesis of this tour was the cancellation of a concert tour by the Jeff Beck Group, which happened to be
managed out of the same office as that occupied by Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant. Grant contacted the
promoters and convinced them to take on Led Zeppelin instead.[1]
To help publicise the band in America before the tour, Grant sent white label advance copies of the band's debut
album to key FM radio stations. The album itself was issued on January 17, mid-way though the tour. According to
tour manager Richard Cole, the tour was underwritten by Grant, guitarist Jimmy Page, and bass player John Paul
Jones, while singer Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham were paid a salary.[2]
For this stint of concerts, Led Zeppelin initially played as the support act for bands such as Vanilla Fudge and Iron
Butterfly (both of which were also contracted to Atlantic Records) and Country Joe & the Fish. However, as the tour
progressed, it became apparent that Led Zeppelin was easily outshining the headline acts.[3] [4] As guitarist Jimmy
Page explained:
[B]y the time we reached San Francisco, the other groups on the bill just weren't turning up. Country Joe & the
Fish backed out of playing with us on the West Coast and Iron Butterfly didn't turn up on the East.[5]
In interviews, bass player John Paul Jones has expressed similar recollections:
To be honest, most of what Country Joe [and the Fish] was doing was just a band of friends going on stage.
They would play, start a song and drift into another song, which sounded really great. And we would just go
on and go "bang, bang, bang" with three driven songs with solos, and people must have thought, "What did we
just see?" And there was nobody else doing that at that time. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the success. We
got four numbers in by the time most bands had tuned up ... We were very tight and close as well. It was
always kind of "us against the world" back then.[6]
In one famous concert, Led Zeppelin's final of four nights performed at the Boston Tea Party, the band played for
more than four hours with only one album worth of material. As Jones explained:
We played four nights at The Tea Party, and by then we had an hour and a half's music to play; we played four
and a half hours on the last night - we played the act twice, and then did everybody else's act with Who,
Rolling Stones and Beatles numbers. Peter hugged us at the end of the gig, picked all four of us up at once. We
knew we were actually going to make it.[7]

It was during this tour that Led Zeppelin's drummer, John Bonham, developed a close friendship with the drummer
of Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice.[7] [8] The average fee charged by Led Zeppelin for a concert during this tour was
around $1,500. It has been stated that for one show they performed for a mere $320.[3] Figures like these would soon
be dwarfed by the six figure sums routinely demanded, and received, by Led Zeppelin on subsequent tours as their
popularity skyrocketed. Peter Grant recalled that "The Yardbirds had been getting $2,500 a night but people like Bill
Graham had faith in us and so did the kids who saw it."[3] Grant, who was unable to attend the tour with the group,
also stated:
I couldn't go with them, but it was a fantastic 12 date tour, and they said "Great, if that's what we've gotta do,
we'll go and do it" ... Three of the group had never been to America before and didn't know what to expect.
They did a week with the Vanilla Fudge. My instructions were for them to go over there and blast them out.
Make each performance something everybody remembered. They really did that.[8]
Tour set list

The fairly typical set list for the tour was:
1. "Train Kept A-Rollin' " (Bradshaw, Kay, Mann)
2. "I Can't Quit You Baby" (Dixon)
3. "As Long As I Have You" (Mimms)
4. "Dazed and Confused" (Page)
5. "Communication Breakdown" (Bonham, John Paul Jones, Page)
6. "You Shook Me" (Dixon, Lenoir)
7. "White Summer"/"Black Mountain Side" (Page)
11. "Killing Floor" (Burnett)
12. "For Your Love" (Gouldman)
There were some set list substitutions, variations, and order switches during the tour.

Led Zeppelin's 1969 tour of the United Kingdom and Scandinavia was a concert tour of the United Kingdom and
Scandinavia by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 1 March and concluded on 17 April 1969.
During this tour, Led Zeppelin made a number of live television appearances, including one date in Denmark on 17
March,[1] a session at BBC TV studios on March 21[2] and a session at Staines on March 25,[3] the last for the
filming of the Supershow. Some of these early filmed sessions were later released on the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003).
They were part of manager Peter Grant's early strategy to build public awareness of the group. However, his
dissatisfaction with the medium (particularly its inferior audio quality), would soon lead him to make the band
unavailable for television again.[4]
Led Zeppelin's debut album was belatedly released in the United Kingdom part-way through this tour, in late March
1969.[4]

Led Zeppelin's Spring 1969 North American Tour was the second concert tour of North America by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on April 18 and concluded on May 31, 1969.
By this point in time, Led Zeppelin's skyrocketing popularity was such that the group had reached top billing,
sharing that honour for some of their gigs with established acts such as Julie Driscoll, Delaney & Bonnie and Three
Dog Night.[1] They were now receiving four times the money that they had previously commanded on their first tour
of America just a few months earlier.[2] Indeed, the band was also one of the first groups to be a single act without
any opening group for some of their performances.[3] However, for the band's concert at Columbia, Maryland, on
May 25, manager Peter Grant agreed for Led Zeppelin to receive second billing in support of The Who. This was the
only time that these two English bands ever performed on the same bill.[1] [4]
During this tour the band took time out at various recording studios to record tracks for their forthcoming album, Led
Zeppelin II. Many of the tracks were later mixed down by Eddie Kramer at A&R Studios, New York.[5]
It was during this period that Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page switched from using his Telecaster to his signature
Gibson Les Paul, whilst also incorporating the use of Marshall amplifiers.[1]

Led Zeppelin's Summer 1969 United Kingdom Tour was a concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on 8 June and concluded on 29 June 1969. It included a single show in Paris,
France, performed for French television.[1] This was the band's final ever television appearance,[2] portions of which
were later released on the Led Zeppelin DVD.
The band's tour was supported by Blodwyn Pig and The Liverpool Scene, and was promoted by the booking agency,
Chrysalis.[2]
On this tour, three of Led Zeppelin's performances were recorded and later broadcast by the British Broadcasting
Corporation.[2] The performance on 16 June was broadcast on Chris Grant's "Tasty Pop Sundae",[3] the recording on
24 June was broadcast on John Peel's "Top Gear",[4] and the 27 June show was broadcast on the "Radio One In
Concert" series.[5] Selected songs from all of these recordings were subsequently made available on the 1997 album
BBC Sessions.

"Communication Breakdown" (Bonham, Jones, Page)

"How Many More Times" (Bonham, Jones, Page)
Interestingly, despite having been previewed during previous Led Zeppelin concert tours, tracks from their second
album were not played live on this tour. These songs included "Pat's Delight" (a.k.a. Moby Dick)", "Whole Lotta
Love", and "Killing Floor" (a.k.a. "The Lemon Song"). Instead the band concentrated solely on tracks included on
their first album. Some commentators have speculated that this was a deliberate promotional surprise strategy in lieu
of the release of their second album.[6]
As some of the bootlegs (and many official documents, including the Led Zeppelin DVD) show, many of the
performed songs during this tour were played in a quite different way from their studio versions. "You Shook Me"
and "How Many More Times" were much extended, as was "Dazed And Confused", for which Page's bow solo was
now no longer accompanied by the input of other band members. Also, the coda of "Communication Breakdown"
incorporated a funky jam that included parts of "Just A Little Bit" and "It's Your Thing". Only "I Can't Quit You

Baby" was played in a version closely resembling the original.

Europe Autumn 1969
Led Zeppelin's Summer 1969 North American Tour was the third concert tour of North America by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on July 5 and concluded on August 31, 1969.
By this point in the band's career, Led Zeppelin were earning $30,000 a night for each of the concerts they
performed.[1] According to music journalist Chris Welch:
One New York concert drew 21,000 people, while support like The Doors and Iron Butterfly were consistently
blown off stage by the rampaging Britons.[1]
This concert tour is notable for the number of festival appearances made by Led Zeppelin.[2] On July 21 Led
Zeppelin were the headliners of the Schaefer Music Festival at New York City's Wollman Rink, along with B.B.
King.[3] The band also appeared at the Atlanta International Pop Festival on July 5,[4] the Newport Jazz Festival on
July 6,[5] the Laurel Pop Festival on July 11,[6] the Summer Pop Festival on July 12,[7] the Midwest Rock Festival on
July 25,[8] the Seattle Pop Festival on July 27,[9] the Singer Bowl Music Festival on August 30[10] and the Texas
International Pop Festival on August 31.[11]
It was during this tour that the infamous shark episode is alleged to have taken place, when Led Zeppelin visited
Seattle for their appearance at the Seattle Pop Festival.

Led Zeppelin's Autumn 1969 European Tour was a concert tour of Europe by the English rock band, commencing
on October 3 and concluding on October 12, 1969. The tour consisted of four concerts held on the European
mainland, but also included a single performance at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, England. This brief tour was
organised to promote the imminent release of the band's second album, Led Zeppelin II.[1] The album was released in
late October 1969, just following the conclusion of this tour.
For the concert in London, the English press announced that Led Zeppelin will receive "the highest fee ever paid to a
British group for a one-nighter in this country", although the actual fee was never publicly divulged.[2] Support for
this concert was provided by The Frosty Noses and Audience.[1]
Tour set list

Despite the original intent of the tour being to promote the band's album, ultimately only two tracks from the album
were performed for the first time, namely "Heartbreaker" and "What Is and What Should Never Be".

Led Zeppelin's Autumn 1969 North American Tour was the fourth concert tour of North America by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on October 17 and concluded on November 8, 1969.
This tour is notable for the fact that Led Zeppelin were the first pop act to perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in
New York since the Rolling Stones in the mid-1960s,[1] and also for their three performances at Bill Graham's
Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco (the alternate venue offered to those bands which pulled crowds too large for
the smaller Fillmore West venue).[2]
Another significant concert which took place during this tour took place at the Boston Garden on October 25.[3] For
this gig, the band performed to an audience of 15,000 and grossed $45,000.[2] It was a pre-cursor to the scale of
concerts the band would perform on future tours, where they regularly filled large auditoriums and stadiums. The
band's manager, Peter Grant, later commented:
This performance makes me realise that we can be bigger than the Stones and The Beatles [2]
The band released their hugely-popular second album on 22 October 1969, part-way though this tour.

Led Zeppelin's 1970 United Kingdom Tour was a concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English rock band.
The tour commenced on 7 January and concluded on 17 February 1970.
This tour is arguably best known for the band's performance at the Royal Albert Hall on 9 January.[1] According to
Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page, the Royal Albert hall was "at the time the largest and most prestigious gig in
London."[2] The band's manager, Peter Grant, arranged for this performance to be professionally filmed by Peter
Whitehead and Stanley Dorfman for a proposed documentary project. However, it was not officially released at the
time because the footage was reportedly filmed at the wrong speed. A 40-minute cut was prepared but was deemed
by the band to be of unsatisfactory quality. This cut was released years later as a bootleg.[3] In 2003 the original
footage was officially remastered and virtually the entire concert was released on the Led Zeppelin DVD. Audio
recordings of two songs from the concert, "We're Gonna Groove" and "I Can't Quit You Baby", had earlier been
released on the 1982 Led Zeppelin album, Coda
One concert from this tour, at Edinburgh on 7 February, was postponed for 10 days owing to vocalist Robert Plant
suffering a minor car accident, in which he sustained some facial injuries.[3] [4]
For all but one of these concerts the band did not use any supporting act. This would be a trend to continue on
subsequent Led Zeppelin concert tours.[3]

U.K. Spring 1970
Europe 1970
Led Zeppelin's 1970 European Tour was a concert tour of Europe by the English rock band. The tour commenced
on February 23 and concluded on March 12, 1970.
Overview
During this tour, the cover for the band's debut album met with controversy. At a 28 February 1970 performance in
Copenhagen, the band was billed as "The Nobs" as the result of a threat of legal action from aristocrat Frau Eva von
Zeppelin, descendent of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin creator of the Zeppelin aircraft, over use of the 'Zeppelin'
name.[1] Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page commented to the music newspaper Melody Maker that Frau Eva von
Zeppelin initially took issue during an early Led Zeppelin concert performance in Copenhagen in October 1969,
when she tried (unsuccessfully) to stop a television appearance. The aristocrat angrily described the group as
"shrieking monkeys".[2]
As a gesture of good will, the band invited her to meet with them at a television studio. The meeting was apparently
a cordial one.[2] However, upon leaving the studio, her anger reignited when she saw the cover of the group's first
album - the exploding Hindenburg aircraft. As Page recalled:
When she saw the cover she just exploded! I had to run and hide. She just blew her top.[2]
Frau von Zeppelin felt the band's use of Zeppelin was insulting and dishonoured her family name. As a result,
hostility toward the rock group continued on their next tour of the country in early 1970 by threat of a lawsuit, unless
they agreed to change their name while working there. While Peter Grant (the band's manager) was not normally
passive when faced with a confrontation, it was decided to appease the aristocrat by temporarily changing the group's
name.
One name speculated in the national press was "Ned Zeppelin", which Jimmy Page found humorous. After some
discussion, Grant and Page settled on the tongue-in-cheek name The Nobs, a playful pun on the name of their
European promoter, Claude Nobs.[3]
The controversy in Copenhagen was considered advantageous to Led Zeppelin early in their career, as the incident
gained them worldwide publicity. The band's choice of names was widely seen as an expression of the band's
likability and wit.
One concert from this tour, at Frankfurt on March 10, was cancelled at a week's notice as a result of riots having
previously occurred at the venue following a concert by Jethro Tull.[3] It was replaced by a gig at Hamburg.

Led Zeppelin's Spring 1970 North American Tour was the fifth concert tour of North America by the English rock
band. The tour commenced on March 21 and concluded on April 18, 1970. It took place a little over a week after the
conclusion of their recent European concert tour.
Overview
In many respects this tour was a tremendous success for the band, as they grossed a total of over $1,200,000, and
broke attendance records at their Canadian concerts in Montreal and Vancouver.[1] The band were also made
honorary citizens of the city of Memphis.[1]
However, this stint of concerts also featured many unsavoury crowd control problems, with the shows often
descending into violent confrontations between young concert-goers and the police.[2] The tour occurred at a time
when civil tension was very high in the United States, with numerous demonstrations taking place against the
Vietnam War. On occasion Led Zeppelin were refused service in restaurants and in Texas they had a gun pulled on
them.[3]
Singer Robert Plant's observations of these disturbing events would prompt him to write some reflective lyrics for
the song "That's the Way", which was composed just after the completion of this tour at Bron-Yr-Aur, and was later
recorded for the band's forthcoming album Led Zeppelin III.[1]
This was also the fateful tour during which guitarist Jimmy Page's 1960 Gibson Les Paul "Black Beauty" was stolen
in an airport in Canada. Despite attempts to recover the guitar involving advertisements being placed in music
magazines, it was never returned to its owner.
Initially, Stone the Crows were announced as the support act for the tour, but this arrangement was cancelled. During
this tour and on all subsequent tours, the band dispensed with using any support bands for their concerts.[1]
The final date of this tour, at Las Vegas, was cancelled as a result of cumulative strain on Plant's voice.[1]

North America Spring 1970 Iceland, Bath and Germany, Summer 1970 North America Summer 1970
Led Zeppelin's Summer 1970 tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany was a concert tour by the English rock band.
The tour commenced on June 22 and concluded on July 19, 1970.
Overview
Led Zeppelin's sole performance in England during this tour was one of the most important of the band's career.
They accepted an offer from promoter Freddy Bannister to headline the Bath Festival, in Shepton Mallet, at a fee of
20,000.[1] This was the second time Led Zeppelin performed at this festival, having also appeared at the Bath
Festival of Blues during their U.K. tour in summer 1969.
The band's performance at Bath in 1970[2] in front of an audience of 150,000 people is widely considered by music
critics, and members of Led Zeppelin itself, as representing a turning point in terms of the amount of recognition
they received in Britain.[1] Until that point their on-stage success and popularity had largely been borne out on
numerous United States concert tours. This concert helped foster an improved relationship with the U.K. press,
which gave them consistently good reviews for their performance at the festival.[1] Tantalisingly, however, the only
known audio documents of the festival exist in very poor quality as Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.
This tour is also notable for the band's visit to Iceland for their opening show at Laugardalshll.[3] It was this visit
which inspired singer Robert Plant to write the lyrics to "Immigrant Song", which was subsequently featured on their
forthcoming album Led Zeppelin III. This song premiered at the Bath Festival, just six days after their show in
Iceland.[1] A short segment of footage of Jimmy Page playing bowed guitar during "Dazed and Confused" during
Led Zeppelin's performance at Laugardalshll was included on the menu clips of the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003).
The July 17th performance at the Grugahalle in Essen was cut short by rowdy fans. The performance had sold out,
and a large group of disgruntled fans who had been unable to purchase tickets gathered outside, insisting to be let in.
The local Polizei decided to let them in as a way of heading off any potential trouble, but that decision backfired as
some started to throw beer bottles at the band.

Led Zeppelin's Summer 1970 North American Tour was the sixth concert tour of North America by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on August 15 and concluded on September 19, 1970.
Overview
This concert tour was a massive success for Led Zeppelin, as they played to wildly enthusiastic audiences. It was
their highest grossing tour to date (for the two New York concerts alone, the band grossed $100,000).[1] [2] [3] With
The Rolling Stones off the road at the time, only The Who could now compete with Led Zeppelin for the title of the
world's top concert attraction.[1] The band were widely hailed as bigger than The Beatles, dethroning them in the
polls for the first time in rock history.[4]
This concert tour was originally scheduled to commence on August 5 at Cincinnati. However, the first week was
cancelled due to the ill health of the father of bass player John Paul Jones. The itinerary was amended several times,
leading to much confusion, with the band erroneously being billed to appear at the Strawberry Fields Festival on the
weekend of August 89.[1] The tour eventually commenced on August 15 at New Haven.[5]
During this tour the band mixed their third album at Ardent Studios, Memphis, in August 1970. The album was
released in October 1970, shortly following the conclusion of this tour.

Europe 1971
Led Zeppelin's Spring 1971 United Kingdom Tour (also known as the Back to the Clubs Tour) was a concert tour
of the United Kingdom by the English rock band. The tour commenced on 5 March and concluded on 1 April 1971.
Overview
For this tour, the band decided to mainly perform at the smaller clubs that they had originally played earlier in their
career, rather than large arenas and auditoriums. This decision was made to reward those fans who had been loyal to
them from the start of their career. The small, more intimate size of the venues, and the correspondingly smaller
ticket sales and gate receipts, was offered as proof that Led Zeppelin wasn't preoccupied with making money, but
endeavoured to create a close connection with their audiences when performing on-stage.[1] However, as the tour
progressed, it became evident that this intention was somewhat mitigated by the fact that thousands of fans who
wished to see the band were shut out of shows because of the scarce availability of concert tickets.[2]
The Belfast concert on March 5[3] featured the first public performance of their now-legendary song "Stairway to
Heaven", which was played at nearly every subsequent Led Zeppelin show. One scheduled concert from the tour, at
Liverpool University, was cancelled and rescheduled to take place during the band's subsequent tour of Europe.
During this period the band members began to experiment with their stage attire, introducing strange caftans and
garments and growing longer hair and beards, which gave them a very fashionable appearance.[2]

on May 3 and concluded on July 5, 1971. It included one concert at Liverpool, England, which was a rescheduled
date from their preceding tour of the United Kingdom.[1] It is possible that other unverified dates in Europe were also
performed during this period.[2]
Though being very short in duration, this concert tour was well known, primarily because of the extremely violent
crowd disturbance which took place at the band's concert at the Vigorelli Velodrome in Milan on July 5.[3] [4] [5] This
festival appearance in front of an audience of 15,000 people was abandoned when hundreds of tear-gas wielding riot
police charged into the crowd. The group were forced to leave the stage and many fans were injured. Some of the
group's equipment was also damaged in the chaos. The band's singer Robert Plant later recalled:
We went to Milan and the riot troops moved in and tear-gassed the event. We escaped down an access route
and the troops pumped canisters at us as we ran. We managed to get in a dressing room and I barricaded the
door with the medicine cabinet and got everybody to put wet towels around their heads. Then they broke the
windows and popped a couple of canisters in from the street.[6]
The concert has been described as one of the low points of Led Zeppelin's career, and the band never again returned
to Italy.[7]

Led Zeppelin's 1971 North American Tour was the seventh concert tour of North America by the English rock
band. The tour commenced on August 7 and concluded on September 17, 1971. It included two warm-up shows in
Montreux, Switzerland.
This tour took place just prior to the release of the band's fourth album. The band had hoped to release this album in
time for the tour, but various delays prevented this from occurring.[1]
This was the longest break that the band had from touring North America to date, with their last tour there having
taken place almost a year previously. During the interim the hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad had asserted its
influence on the American music market, and Led Zeppelin was keen to re-establish their live reputation through this
stint of concert performances.[1]
The new material from the fourth album which was presented by the band on stage was very well-received by
audiences, which helped to ensure massive sales of that album when it was eventually released in November 1971.[1]
The tour is also notable for the high frequency of crowd disturbances which occurred at the concerts, including those
at New York, Toronto and Boston, as the bootlegs of these concerts attest.
Before this tour, Robert Plant shaved off his beard, a style which he and the rest of his bandmates had adopted the
year before. John Paul Jones followed suit a month later, as did Jimmy Page the following winter.
On this tour, the band grossed $1 million.[2]

Led Zeppelin's 1971 Japanese Tour was the first concert tour of Japan by the English rock band. The tour
commenced on September 23 and concluded on September 29, 1971. It was one of the first tours of Japan by a
western rock band.[1]
One of the concerts from this short tour, at Hiroshima on September 27,[2] was organised as a benefit show. As an
expression of thanks, the city of Hiroshima presented the band with a letter of appreciation and the city medal by the
local mayor.[1]
During this tour, singer Robert Plant allegedly punched drummer John Bonham before one of the shows.[1] This was
not the only turbulent incident which occurred during the tour. As manager Peter Grant explained:
There were rows. One bloody amazing one happened in Japan when Robert came off stage with a split lip. It
was over some dispute over some money from some tour. He still owed Bonzo some petrol money for 70 quid
or something, but that's how it was![1]
The concerts were recorded at the insistence of the Japanese Warner Pioneer label, which was owned by the band's
record company Atlantic Records. However, upon hearing the recordings guitarist Jimmy Page found the audio
quality to be so inferior that he decided to wipe over the tapes and use them again.[1]

Led Zeppelin's Winter 1971 United Kingdom Tour was a concert tour of the United Kingdom by the English rock
band. The tour commenced on 11 November and concluded on 15 December 1971.
It has been suggested that this tour confirmed the status of Led Zeppelin's supremacy in the United Kingdom rock
marketplace.[1] Taking place immediately after the release of the band's fourth album, all tickets sold out despite
going on sale less than a week before the commencement of the tour. Second shows at Wembley and at Manchester
needed to be added after fans queued for up to eighteen hours in order to secure a ticket.[1]
This tour is particularly notable for the two concerts performed by the band at the Wembley Empire Pool, dubbed the
"Electric Magic" shows,[2] [3] which were the first concerts ever performed at the venue by a rock act in its own right.
These five hour shows included bizarre vaudeville circus acts with plate spinners, trapeze artists and performing pigs
which were dressed in policeman's uniforms.[4] The concerts also incorporated supporting acts such as Stone the
Crows, which was a rare event for Led Zeppelin at this point in their career.[1] A colour poster was sold to fans at the
concerts for 30p, which is now a rare and highly sought-after collectible. An altered version of the poster was created
for a two coloured silk-screen t-shirt print in 2010 for an official Led Zeppelin t-shirt.[5]
This was the first concert tour on which the band visually projected the "four symbols" which adorned (and is a
variant title for) their fourth album onto their stage equipment. Jimmy Page's "Zoso" symbol was put onto one of his
Marshall amplifiers, John Bonham's three interlinked circles adorned the outer face of his bass drum, John Paul
Jones had his symbol stenciled onto material which was draped across his Fender Rhodes keyboard and Robert
Plant's feather symbol was painted onto a side speaker PA cabinet. Only Page's and Bonham's symbols were retained
for subsequent Led Zeppelin concert tours.[1]

Led Zeppelin's 1972 Australasian Tour was the only concert tour of Australia and New Zealand by the English
rock band. The tour commenced on 16 February and concluded on 29 February 1972. (Led Zeppelin's guitarist
Jimmy Page had earlier toured Australia with The Yardbirds in January 1967).
The original plan for this tour was for the group to stop off en route at Singapore for a concert on 14 February, but
the local authorities refused their entry due to local laws banning males from wearing long hair.[1] [2]
Led Zeppelin received generally good press coverage for this tour and black and white footage of some of their
concert at Sydney on 27 February,[3] along with a press party, were filmed by the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation and shown to a national audience.[1] [3] Some of this footage was later made available on the Led
Zeppelin DVD, released in 2003.
Part way through this tour Page shaved off his trademark beard, a look he adopted nearly two years before while
recording Led Zeppelin III. He had the beard at Led Zeppelin's concert in Melbourne 20 February, but is clean
shaven at the band's press party two days later. Page would remain clean shaven for the rest of the band's career.
All of the concerts on this tour except for one (at Brisbane on 29 February)[4] were performed at open-air venues.
The Melbourne performance at Kooyong Stadium on 20 February was cut short due to inclement weather.[5]

Led Zeppelin's 1972 North American Tour was the eighth concert tour of North America by the English rock band.
The tour was divided into two legs, with performances commencing on May 27 and concluding on June 28, 1972. It
included two warm-up shows in Europe.
History
Guitarist Jimmy Page considers Led Zeppelin at this point to have been at their artistic peak.[1] However, despite
selling out their concerts, the tour had the lowest profile of all of the band's eleven North American concert tours,
being vastly overshadowed by the Rolling Stones' tour of the same period, much to the annoyance of Led
Zeppelin.[2] [3] [4] In order to prevent this from happening again, the band's manager, Peter Grant, decided to hire PR
consultants to help promote subsequent tours.
During this concert stint the band stopped at New York to mix tracks that had been recorded at Olympic Studios in
London the previous month, for their forthcoming fifth album.[2]
According to Led Zeppelin experts Dave Lewis and Simon Pallett, it was at around this period in time that Grant
began to implement the unprecedented policy of asking concert promoters for 90% of all gate receipts:
The group's stature was such that he was able to pull off this major swing with little resistance from the agents
and promoters. Any deal with Led Zeppelin was better than no deal at all, they decided. As a consequence Led
Zeppelin's fortune began to pile up at an even faster rate [than before].[2]
For this tour, and all of Led Zeppelin's subsequent American tours, the band hired Dallas-based company Showco to
provide its lighting and sound.[5]
Recordings
Like many other Led Zeppelin concert tours, several of the concerts performed by the band on this tour were
recorded by fans as unofficial bootlegs. Some of these were subsequently released on bootleg titles such as Burn Like
a Candle.
In soundboard recordings from two of the concerts from this tour, at the L.A. Forum on June 25 and the Long Beach
Arena on June 27 respectively, were remastered by Page and officially released on the album How the West Was
Won.
No official live footage of the band was filmed during this tour. In an interview he gave to The Times newspaper in
2010, when asked which performances from Led Zeppelin's career stand out to him now, he made reference to the
tour, but acknowledged the lack of visual recordings:
I think what we did on ... How the West was Won that 1972 gig is pretty much a testament of how good
it was. It would have been nice to have had a little more visual recordings, but there you go. Thats the
conundrum of Led Zeppelin![6]
Tour set list

This was the first tour in which Led Zeppelin used songs from their upcoming album Houses of the Holy ("Over the
Hills and Far Away", "Dancing Days", and "The Ocean"). This was also the last concert tour on which Led Zeppelin
included an acoustic section until it was revived in 1975 for their Earls Court performances. The decision to drop the
acoustic set was perhaps made because their live concerts were regularly extending into three hour long marathons
(and sometimes up to four and a half hours), which were becoming taxing on all four band members.[2] [3]
1. "LA Drone" (Page, Jones)
4. "Celebration Day" (Page, Plant, Jones) (on 27 May and 9 June only)
6. "Over the Hills and Far Away" (Page, Plant)

Led Zeppelin's 1972 Japanese Tour was the second and final concert tour of Japan by the English rock band. The
tour commenced on October 2 and concluded on October 10, 1972.
This tour took place shortly following the recording of the band's fifth album, Houses of the Holy. Two tracks from
the album were played live for first time, namely "The Song Remains the Same" and "The Rain Song". For these
tracks, Jimmy Page used his characteristic Gibson EDS-1275 double-neck guitar. Other songs from the album were
also played, but these had already been debuted on previous concert tours.[1]
It was on this tour that John Paul Jones played his mellotron for the first time. He used it for the tracks "Stairway to
Heaven", "The Rain Song" and "Thank You". He also introduced an arco stand-up bass, which he played during
"Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp".[1]
Some observers have noted that it was during this tour that the vocals of singer Robert Plant began to show signs of
damage, as he arguably started to lose the extremely high-pitched wail which was evident on previous concert tours
and album releases.[2] In particular, Plant strained to sing the song "Rock and Roll", leading him to change the
melody of the song to a lower register on all future tours.
Whilst on this tour, Jones bought a traditional Japanese string instrument called a Koto. He later used this instrument
on his solo album Zooma (1999).[3]
Tour set list

The dropping of the acoustic set by the band resulted in shorter set lists than those played on more recent tours, with
shows now extending to a more manageable length of around two hours. The fairly typical set list for the tour was:
4. "Misty Mountain Hop" (Jones, Page, Plant)
8. "The Song Remains the Same" (Page, Plant)
9. "The Rain Song" (Page, Plant)
Japanese Tour 1972

12. "Moby Dick" (Bonham, Jones, Page) (on 5 and 9 October only)

"Stand by Me" (King, Leiber, Stoller), performed in Osaka on October 9

band. The tour commenced on 28 October 1972 and concluded on 30 January 1973.
History
The tour was preceded by two warm-up shows in Montreux, Switzerland, and rehearsals at the Rainbow Theatre in
London, before formally kicking off at Newcastle upon Tyne.
This was Led Zeppelin's longest ever tour of the United Kingdom, and the original 110,000 tickets for the 25 dates
sold out within four hours of box offices opening simultaneously on November 10. Tickets were charged 1 for all
the concerts, except for the shows at Manchester which charged 1.25.[1]
Two dates, in Bradford[2] and Preston[3] respectively, needed to be postponed as a result of singer Robert Plant
contracting influenza after the car in which he and drummer John Bonham were traveling broke down on the way to
a concert in Sheffield on January 2.[1] An additional date was also added at Southampton University on January
22.[4]
Led Zeppelin experts Dave Lewis and Simon Pallet have characterised this concert tour as something of an end of an
era for the band:
Overall, this lengthy set of dates reaffirmed their status in the U.K. It would however prove to be the last
opportunity for British audiences to see Led Zeppelin in their homeland at such close quarters. Venues such as
the Aberystwyth Kings Hall with its capacity of under 800 would soon be a thing of the past. The stadium era
beckoned.[1]
This would be the last full UK tour Led Zeppelin would undertake. The five Earl's Court 1975 shows and two
Knebworth Festival 1979 shows would be their only subsequent performances in Britain before Bonham's death in
1980.
Recordings
High-quality stereo soundboard bootleg recordings have been distributed on the internet from the January 7 show at
Oxford and the January 22 show at Southampton. The ambiance is very intimate on these recordings, as these were
small theatre-size venues. The Southampton show was professionally recorded and intended for an official release,
but the performance quality was not deemed adequate. Instead, Jimmy Page selected the Madison Square Garden
shows from later in the year for the live album The Song Remains the Same (1976). The mellotron track from
"Stairway to Heaven" which was included on the live album How The West Was Won (2003) was actually from the
January 22 Southampton show; all of the other material on this album came from the 1972 shows in Southern

California.
The recordings from this tour reveal further strain in Robert Plant's voice that began on the previous tour of Japan.
He struggled to sing "Over the Hills and Far Away" at the Oxford show, and for all remaining live performances of
this song through 1977, he changed the melody to a lower register. Plant also changed the melody of the song "Rock
and Roll", singing it in a lower register and moving the song to the start of the set.
Tour set list

The set list pattern was virtually the same as that played during the previous Japanese tour. The fairly typical set list
was:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

"Over the Hills and Far Away" (Page, Plant)
"Black Dog" (Page, Plant, Jones)
"Misty Mountain Hop" (Jones, Page, Plant)
"Since I've Been Loving You" (Page, Plant, Jones)
"Dancing Days" (Page, Plant)
"Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" (Page, Plant, Jones)


There were some set list substitutions, variations, and order switches during the tour. "How Many More Times" was
also played on January 22.

This tour began just four weeks after Led Zeppelin's previous tour of the United Kingdom. It is notable for the crowd
violence which occurred at some shows, with concerts at Marseilles and Lille being canceled as a result of riots by
fans which had taken place at the band's earlier performances in France.[1]
Some critics consider Led Zeppelin to have been at their technical peak during this tour,[1] [2] which took place
shortly before the release of their fifth album. Several tracks from this album were performed on the tour, namely
"Over the Hills and Far Away", "Dancing Days", "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song" and "The Ocean".

Led Zeppelin's 1973 North American Tour was the ninth concert tour of North America by the English rock band.
The tour was divided into two legs, with performances commencing on May 4 and concluding on July 29, 1973.
Rehearsals took place at Old Street Film Studios, London.
History
This tour took place shortly after the release of Led Zeppelin's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, which topped the
charts. Prior to its commencement, Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant also hired PR consultant Danny Goldberg to
further promote the tour, and booked a number of large stadium venues.[1] As a result, this tour broke box office
records across America.[2] On May 5 at Tampa Stadium, Florida, they played to 56,800 fans (breaking the record set
by The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965), and grossed $309,000.[3] [4] In total, this tour grossed over $4,000,000.[1]
On-stage, Led Zeppelin's shows were developed further from those performed on previous tours, with the
introduction of dry ice, laser effects, backdrop mirrors, hanging mirror balls and Catherine wheel pyrotechnics.[1] [5]
Their dress attire also took on a more flamboyant nature, evidenced in particular by guitarist Jimmy Page's
hummingbird jacket and John Paul Jones' Spanish matador jacket.[1] This increase in on-stage theatricality was later
referred to by Page during an interview he gave to rock journalist Mick Wall:
Originally, we saw the whole essence of our live performance as something that the audience listened to very
carefully, picking up on what was going on, the spontaneity and musicianship. And you cant do that if youre
running around the stage all night, or at least we couldnt back then. By 1973, however, we were much more
ambitious, in that respect. We really wanted to take the live performances as far as they could go.[6]
496
The three sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York
which concluded the tour were filmed for a motion picture, but the
theatrical release of this project (The Song Remains the Same) was
delayed until 1976. The film documents the theft of $203,000 of the
group's money from a safe deposit box at the Drake Hotel in New
York, just before their final show.[5] The theft was discovered by Led
Zeppelin tour manager Richard Cole, who was immediately
interrogated by police as a suspect. The sum of money was the band's
takings from their three New York concerts. It was never recovered
and the identity of the thief or thieves has never been discovered.[7]
The band later sued the Drake Hotel for the theft.[8]
It was also during this tour that Led Zeppelin hired for the first time
The Starship - a former United Airlines Boeing 720B passenger jet.
During the early part of the tour the band had hired a small private
Promotional poster of Led Zeppelin, 1973
Falcon Jet to transport its members from city to city, but these aircraft
are comparatively light and susceptible to air turbulence. After
performing a show at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco on June 2,[9] Led Zeppelin encountered bad turbulence on a
flight back to Los Angeles. As a result, Grant resolved to hire The Starship for the remainder of the tour, at a cost of
$30,000.[10] [11] The exterior of the plane was re-sprayed with Led Zeppelin emblazoned down the side of the
fuselage and the band's famous Swan Song Apollo logo was painted on the tail.
Flying on The Starship, Led Zeppelin were now no longer required to change hotels so often. They could base
themselves in large cities and travel to and from concerts within flying distance.[10] After each show, the band
members would be transported direct by limousine from the concert venue to the airport, as depicted in the concert
film, The Song Remains the Same.
In an interview he gave to William S. Burroughs in 1975, Page commented on the exhausting nature of the 1973
tour:
[W]e were playing [sets] for three hours solid, and physically that was a real...I mean, when I came back from
the last tour I didn't know where I was. I didn't even know where I was going. We ended up in New York and
the only thing that I could relate to was the instrument onstage. I just couldn't....I was just totally and
completely spaced out.[12]
In a much more recent interview, Page recalled:
What I remember about that 1973 tour is that we arrived in America and we did 53,000 at Atlanta and then
55,000 at the following concert in Tampa, Florida it was quite clear that if people were going to come along
to see us in those kind of numbers we werent going to have problems doing concerts that would fulfil the
demand. It was phenomenal though the audience reaction was just so with us, yknow.[13]
Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant has also expressed his own recollections of the tour:
I remember that tour rather like the lyrics to "The Battle of Evermore". A flash. Really fast. Lots of battles and
conquests. And the din of the hordes. So much happened in such a short time. It was phenomenal.[14]
The kind of speed we were moving at, the creative juices in the air, the whole thing was just and absolute
mixture of adrenaline, chemical, euphoria ... and there were no brakes. We couldn't stop what was happening.
We had no idea what it even was. But we just kept trying, pushing forward, every show.[7]

Led Zeppelin's 1975 North American Tour was the tenth concert tour of North America by the English rock band.
The tour was divided into two legs, with performances commencing on January 18 and concluding on March 27,
1975. It was preceded with two European warm-up shows, performed at Rotterdam and Brussels respectively.
History
This tour took place almost two years since the band
had completed their most recent concert tour, which
was the longest break between concerts yet taken by the
band. As a result, some critics have suggested that the
band seemed sluggish and rusty upon their return to the
stage, with the group lacking dynamics and giving
rather 'heavy' performances.[1]

To make matters worse, guitarist Jimmy Page suffered

a broken ring finger after slamming its tip in a train
door prior to leaving England for this tour. This forced
him to take pain killers and to develop a three finger
playing technique during the first portion of the tour.[2]
In addition, Robert Plant contracted a bad case of
influenza early in the tour, causing the cancellation of
one show and negatively affecting his singing ability
for much of the rest of the tour, leading to some
unfavourable reviews.[3] However, toward the end of
the tour it was noted that group seemed to be
recovering,
leading
to
some
memorable
performances.[1] [4] Indeed, by the end of this series of
dates, Plant himself stated that:
This has been our most successful tour on every
level and I had a great time all the way
through.[2]

For this stint of concerts, Led Zeppelin employed a much grander light show than had been used on previous tours,
featuring a large neon-lit 'Led Zeppelin' backdrop and krypton laser effects for Jimmy Page's violin bow interlude.[5]
One scheduled concert in this tour, on February 4 at the Boston Garden, was canceled by the Mayor of Boston,
Kevin White, when fans, who waited in the freezing cold for the tickets, were taken pity on by the stadium owners
and were let in inside but rioted and trashed the stadium. A concert at March 8 at the West Palm Beach Speedway in
Florida was also canceled following the promoters' failure to make property improvements at the venue.
The concert tour was promoted by the Concerts West firm, and it marked one of the first tours ever where an
individual concert promotion firm promoted the whole U.S. tour of an artist or group. The company further
established its mark by promoting the band's subsequent 1977 tour of North America.
During this tour Led Zeppelin hired The Starship - a former United Airlines Boeing 720B passenger jet, to transport
them between cities. This was the second and final time the band used this plane, having initially done so on their
previous tour of North America in 1973.
Towards the end of this tour, Lynette Alice "Squeaky" Fromme, a member of Charles Manson's "Family",
confronted Led Zeppelin's publicist Danny Goldberg. She stated that she had to see Page, because she had foreseen
something evil in his future and thought it might happen that night during the band's concert at the Long Beach
Arena. She swore that the last time this had happened, she had seen someone shot to death before her eyes. Goldberg
persuaded her to write a long note to Page, after which she left. The note was burned, unread.[6] Later that year,
Fromme made an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford
Recordings
Audio recordings from many of the tour's shows have been preserved on unofficial bootleg recordings. Several
high-quality soundboard bootleg recordings of shows from this tour have surfaced in recent years, including the
February 12 Madison Square Garden, February 14 Nassau County Coliseum, and February 16 St. Louis Arena dates.
The recording of the Dallas show from March 5 rivals the quality of officially-released recordings, and shows that by
the later stages of the tour, the band was playing as skillfully as on previous tours.
Tour set list

The new set list included material from the band's recently-released album, Physical Graffiti. Songs from that album
which were played for the first time on this tour included "Sick Again", "In My Time of Dying", "Kashmir", "The
Wanton Song" and "Trampled Under Foot". This was in spite of the fact that the album itself was not released until
the second half of the tour. Unforeseen delays in the production of the album's elaborate sleeve prevented its release
before the commencement of the tour.[2]
Initially, both "When the Levee Breaks" and "The Wanton Song" were included in the set; the only period during
which these songs were played live by Led Zeppelin. Both were dropped after a few weeks. It was also the last time
"How Many More Times" was played, being temporarily brought back to replace "Dazed and Confused" which Page
was unable to play until his injured finger healed.[2] "Since I've Been Loving You", the other song that Page was
unable to play due to his finger injury, was played only three times on the tour: February 14 at Nassau Coliseum,[7]
March 21 at Seattle Center Coliseum[8] and March 27 at the Los Angeles Forum.[9]

Earls Court 1975 were five concerts performed by the English rock band Led Zeppelin at Earls Court Arena in
London in May 1975.
Overview
The concerts were initially booked for three nights on May 23,[1] 24[2] and 25,[3] but due to unprecedented public
demand (tickets for the three shows sold out within just four hours),[4] two further dates were added for May 17[5]
and 18,[6] making total ticket sales 85,000.[4] Noted critic and film director Tony Palmer stated at the time in The
Observer that no group in history had ever attracted such an audience in Britain.[7]
These concerts took place less than two months following the conclusion of Led Zeppelin's 1975 American Tour.
The whole of the band's 40-ton stage and light show was airlifted from America for the concerts. A huge Ediphor
screen which showed the action as it was being filmed was also erected above the stage, at a cost of 10,000.[7] This
is thought to be one of the first occasions when such a device was used for a rock show in England.[4] [8] It was said
that an entire city could be lit by the energy spent in a single concert.[9] Three days of rehearsals took place in order
to fix every possible detail or PA problem.[9] The sound at the concerts was managed by Showco.[7]
The Earls Court performances were promoted by Mel Bush. In an interview he gave several years after the event,
Bush explained:
By that time [Led Zeppelin] were a huge attraction and I knew Peter (Grant) [Led Zeppelin's manager] wanted
to present them in the biggest and best setting that particular year. I was the first concert promoter to use Earl's
Court a couple of years before with David Bowie and Slade. So when Peter was considering venues to use he
got in touch. Once it was all up and running we came to a good agreement about the ticket prices which Peter
was always keen to keep at a reasonable level.[7]
To help promote the concerts, Bush and Grant used advertisements which displayed a train, dubbed the "Zeppelin
Express", linked to Earl's Court via the Inter City train services of British Rail. It was intended to convey the
message that, despite all the concerts being performed in one location, they would be easily accessible to fans from
all parts of the country.[7] This image was featured on the concert's official poster (see above, right), the originals of
which are now amongst the most collectible posters in rock history.[7] The posters were produced by Martine
Grainey of Peter Grainey Graphics of Bournemouth, together with the design for the concert programme.
Five promotional DJs were given the task of introducing the band on stage at each show. These were Bob Harris
(May 17), Johnnie Walker (May 18), Kid Jensen (May 23), Nicky Horne (May 24) and Alan Freeman (May 25).[7]
All of the shows exceeded three hours in length, with the final May 25 concert clocking in at three hours, 43 minutes
and 50 seconds. Footage from the concerts remained unavailable for public viewing for years, until parts of it were
Earls Court 1975

eventually released in 2003 for the Led Zeppelin DVD.
Critical reaction
The Earls Court concerts are considered by some critics to be the best ever performed by the band, and the shows
received generally excellent reviews from the music press, including those published in Sounds, New Musical
Express and Melody Maker.[7] [8] [9] Music journalist Chris Welch, who attended the performances, recalled years
later:
The band played with tremendous fire, possessed by an almost demonic power, amidst clouds of smoke
pierced by green laser beams. Jimmy Page flailed his violin bow against the guitar strings, producing eerie,
echoing gothic howls. At the time, I wrote in a review that "Robert Plant maintains an essentially human,
chatty approach to audiences, almost like a guide taking us through the story of the band, a jester at the wheel
of some fearsome juggernaut, offering sly asides and poetic ruminations between moments of terrible power."
... The band enjoyed the Physical Graffiti material far more than the old war horses, and the best moments
from the previous albums came in the shape of ballads and acoustic songs.[4]
According to Led Zeppelin archivist Dave Lewis:
When Led Zeppelin undertook the series of five shows at London's Earl's Court Arena on May of 1975 they
were at the very peak of their creative powers. Spurred on by the critical and commercial success of their sixth
album, the double set Physical Graffiti, each show they played took on event-like proportions. The 17,000
capacity Earl's Court afforded them the luxury to showcase in the best possible setting, the sheer enormity of
their stage act. Over five nights of May '75 Zeppelin delivered perhaps the most impressive series of shows of
their entire career ... Photographic images from the shows still light up the pages of countless Zep features and
books, bootleg performances are eagerly snapped up,and the official video footage of the gigs projects the
sheer magnitude and power of Led Zeppelin in full flight more than any other surviving film of the group.[7]
Set list
For these concerts, the band revived an acoustic section which had been a component of many of their concert tours
until late 1972, when it had been discarded from their set.
The set list for these five concerts was:
4. "In My Time of Dying" (Page, Plant, Jones, Bonham)
13. "Trampled Under Foot" (Page, Plant, Jones) (incl. "Gallows Pole")
14. "Moby Dick" (Bonham, Jones, Page)
15. "Dazed and Confused" (Page) (incl. "Woodstock"/"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)")
Encores:
505
Earls Court 1975

"Whole Lotta Love" (Bonham, Dixon, Jones, Page, Plant) (incl. "The Crunge")
Additional encores on the last show, on May 25:
"Communication Breakdown" (Bonham, Jones, Page) (incl. "D'yer Mak'er")

performances commencing on 1 April and concluding on 24 July 1977. The tour was originally intended to finish on
13 August, but was cut short following the death of vocalist Robert Plant's son.Overview This was the first tour
embarked on by the band following their enforced layoff caused by Plant's car accident in Greece in 1975. During
this sabbatical, the band had recorded their seventh studio album, Presence (album)Presence. Rehearsals for the tour
eventually took place at Manticore Studios, Fulham in early 1977, where the band worked for two months on a new

Memorial Auditorium in Dallas, Texas. Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary The delay reduced the
amount of time the band had available to rehearse, since all their equipment had already been airlifted to America.
As guitarist Jimmy Page explained: We didn't have any instruments for a month. All the equipment was shipped over
there five days before we were due to go. I didn't play a guitar for a month. I was terrified at the prospect of the first
few shows.Page (right) and Plant (left) on stage during the 1977 North American Tour Led Zeppelin's 1977 North
American Tour was a massive fiscal success, as the band sold out large arenas and stadiums. On 30 April they
performed to 76,229 people at the Pontiac Silverdome, a new world record attendance for a solo indoor attraction,
beating the 75,962 that The Who attracted there on December 6, 1975, and grossed $792,361.50 (also a record
breaker). Led Zeppelin official website: concert summarySteven Rosen, "Led Zeppelin's 1977 Tour - A Tragic
Ending!", Classic Rock Legends. Lengthy stints were spent in New York and Los Angeles, where the band
performed six sold out shows each at Madison Square Garden and the Los Angeles Forum. In New York alone, the
band spent no money on advertising for the gigs, relying solely on street demand to sell out the shows, and enough
ticket applications were received to sell out a further two nights had time permitted. Dave Lewis, an expert on the
band, considers that this tour,with its staggered itinerary and massive arena and stadium venues, became the
blueprint for which the likes of Bruce Springsteen and U2 would base their multimillion dollar tours during the
Eighties and Nineties. Back then, though, Grant and Zeppelin were making their own rules as they went along. The
unwieldy scale of just how big the Zeppelin experience had become was encapsulated over those 44 1977 shows.For
the tour, the band chartered Caesar's Chariot, a 45-seat Boeing 707 owned by the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas,
NevadaLas Vegas, to shuttle them between cities. This plane should not be confused with the more famous The
507

StarshipStarship, which had been used by the band on its previous two concert stints in North America, but which
was permanently grounded in 1977 due to engine problems.Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) Led Zeppelin:
The Concert File, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN 0-7119-5307-4, p.92For many of the concerts on this tour, Jimmy
Page chose to wear a striking custom-made white silk dragon suit, as is captured in several famous photographs of
the band. Problems experienced Though profitable financially, the tour was beset with difficulties. On 19 April, over
70 persons were arrested as about 1,000 ticketless fans tried to gatecrash Riverfront ColiseumCincinnati Riverfront
Coliseum for two sold out festival seating/general admission concerts while some gained entry by throwing rocks
and bottles through glass entrance doors. On 3 June, after an open-air concert at Tampa Stadium was cut short
because of a severe thunderstorm, a riot broke out amongst the audience, resulting in 19 arrests and 50 fans being
injured. Police ultimately resorted to tear gas to break up the crowd. Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary
Robert Plant's Home Page Guitarist Jimmy Page's ongoing heroin addiction also caused him to lose a noticeable
amount of weight on this tour, and arguably began to hamper his on-stage playing performances.Davis, Stephen (4
July 1985). "Power, Mystery And The Hammer Of The Gods: The Rise and Fall of Led Zeppelin". Rolling Stone
(451). . Retrieved 2008-01-15. During a performance in Chicago on 9 April, Page fell ill and needed to sit in a chair
to play "Ten Years Gone" before leaving the stage with severe stomach cramps. The show was concluded after only
sixty-five minutes, with Page's illness later being attributed to a case of food poisoning. Led Zeppelin official
website: concert summary The Greensboro, NC show began one hour late, with Plant stating, "Sorry, we left
somebody in New York." The tour also experienced some unsavory backstage problems, exacerbated by the hiring
of London gangster John Bindon as Led Zeppelin's security coordinator. After a 23 July show Led Zeppelin official
website: concert summary at the "Days on the Green" festival at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland,
California, Bindon, band manager Peter Grant and band member John Bonham were arrested after a member of
promoter Bill Graham (promoter)Bill Graham's staff was badly beaten during the performance. A member of the
staff had struck Grant's 11-year old son when he was taking down a dressing room sign. This was seen by Bonham,
who then walked over and kicked the man. Later, when Grant heard about this, he went into the trailer, along with
Bindon and savagely assaulted the man with tour manager Richard Cole guarding the door and also roughing up
another member of Graham's staff. Led Zeppelin's second Oakland show took place only after Bill Graham signed a
letter of indemnification absolving Led Zeppelin from responsibility for the previous night's incident. However,
Graham refused to honour the letter and assault charges were laid against Grant, Cole, Bindon, and Bonham when
the band arrived back at their hotel. The four received bail, whereupon a suit was filed against them by Graham for
$2 million.Welch, Chris (2002). Peter Grant: The Man Who Led Zeppelin. London: Omnibus. pp.203204.
ISBN0-7119-9195-2. Led Zeppelin offered to settle and all four pleaded nolo contendere, receiving suspended
sentences and fines. Later, Graham went on San Francisco rock stations KSAN and KMEL and flatly announced that
he would never book Led Zeppelin again.Stephen Davis (1995). Hammer of the Gods (LPC). pp.277.Ritchie Yorke
(1993). Led Zeppelin: The Definitive Biography. pp.210.The following day's second Oakland concert Led Zeppelin
official website: concert summary would prove to be the band's final live appearance in the United States. After the
performance, news came that Plant's five year old son, Karac, had died from a stomach virus. The rest of the tour
was immediately cancelled.In recent years, Plant has reflected on the negative dynamics which increasingly became
evident as the 1977 tour progressed: By 1977, I was 29, just prior to Karac's passing, and that sort of wild energy that
was there in the beginning had come to the point where we were showboating a bit. Unfortunately, we had no choice.
We were on tours where places were going ape-shit. There was no way of containing the energy in those buildings. It
was insane. And we became more and more victims of our own success. And the whole deal about the goldfish bowl
and living in it, that kicked in.Allan Jones, "Robert Plant: We did what we set out to do...", Uncut Magazine, May
2008, pp. 38-43.According to Jack Calmes, the head of Showco (the company that had provided lights, sound,
staging, and logistics for the band's American tours since 1973): There was an extraordinary amount of tension at the
start of that tour ... It just got off to a negative start. It was definitely much darker than any [Led] Zeppelin tour ever
before that time ... The kind of people they had around them had deepened into some really criminal types. I think
Richard Cole and perhaps some of the band and everybody around the band was so far into drugs at that point, that
508

the drugs turned on them. They still had their moments of greatness (but) some of the shows were grinding and not
very inspired ... The Bindon brothers were the thugs that were friends of Peter Grants and were on this whole tour as
security guards. And they kind of brought an element of darkness into this thing.Recordings At least three indoor
concerts from this tour (at Pontiac on 30 April, Houston on 21 May and Seattle on 17 July) were professionally
filmed by the TV International company for the band and projected live on to a giant video screen. None of these
performances have been officially released, and to date, only the Seattle video has been made available on unofficial
Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. When reviewing material for the Led Zeppelin DVD in 2003, some 1977 footage
was considered, but ultimately only a small clip of Bonham's drumming from the Seattle show is shown during the
DVD credits. Producer Jimmy Page was unable to locate multi-track sound recordings from any 1977 shows, and it
is unknown if any exist. However, portions of the Seattle video (minus audio) were used to promote the Led
Zeppelin Remasters release in 1990 and some were aired as part of the special MTV Led Zeppelin documentary. In
addition, parts were included in the 1997 "Whole Lotta Love" promo.Audio recordings from many of the tour's
shows have been preserved on unofficial bootleg recordings. Notable bootlegs from this tour include The Destroyer
(Led Zeppelin bootleg recording)Destroyer (the soundboard recording from Cleveland on 27 April), Listen to This
Eddie (an audience recording from Los Angeles on 21 June) and For Badgeholders Only (an audience recording
from Los Angeles on 23 June).The second disc of the Led Zeppelin DVD contains semi-hidden bootleg footage from
the show at the Los Angeles Forum (under the promos menu). The menu background audio features the complete
opening number from the 21 June 1977 show ("The Song Remains the Same (song)The Song Remains the Same")
with visuals bootlegged from various shows on the 1977 tour. The Garden TapesTour set list The set list played on
this tour included an acoustic section, which had originally been revived by the band at their Earls Court
1975previous concerts at Earls Court Arena in 1975 and was retained for the 1977 concerts. Only two songs from
their most recent album, Presence (album)Presence (1976), were performed: "Nobody's Fault but Mine" and

North America 1977 Knebworth 1979 Tour Over Europe 1980
The Knebworth Festival 1979 consisted of two concerts performed by the English rock band Led Zeppelin and
other artists at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire, England, in August 1979.
History
The grounds of Knebworth House near the village of Knebworth had been a major venue for open air rock and pop
concerts since 1974. In 1979, veteran promoter Freddy Bannister booked Led Zeppelin to play that year's concerts,
which took place on 4 August[1] and 11 August.[2]
The band had not performed live for two years since the death of Robert Plant's son during the band's 1977 North
American tour, and they had not performed in the United Kingdom for four years. Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter
Grant, decided that the band should perform at Knebworth instead of embarking on a lengthy tour. As is explained
by Dave Lewis:
The whole [Led Zeppelin touring] operation had become too big. Page's experience from the 1971 club tour
ruled out any small dates. They had played the biggest indoor arena in the UK (Earls Court 1975) four years
earlier. As Peter Grant saw it, they had to come back in the grandest style possible. Knebworth was the answer
and after negotiations with promoter Freddie Bannister the August 4 date was scheduled with a second date on
hold. The demand for tickets for the first date was enormous, leading to the second date being added.[3]
The band's fee for performing was reportedly the largest ever paid to one single act at that time.[3]
In the lead-up to the concerts, Led Zeppelin undertook extensive rehearsals at Bray Film studios in London, and
attended the venue at Knebworth in order to inspect the site, complete a publicity photograph shoot and perform a
soundcheck.[3] In addition, they performed two low-key warm-up shows in late July at the Falkoner Theatre,
Copenhagen, Denmark.[4]
Also performing at the Knebworth concerts in 1979 were The New Barbarians (featuring Ronnie Wood and Keith
Richards), Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Southside Johnny, Marshall Tucker, Commander Cody, Chas & Dave and
Fairport Convention.
According to the official website of Knebworth House, the 1979 Knebworth Festival involved
the largest stage ever constructed, 570 loo seats, 750 feet of urinals and the biggest rock band in the world. Led
Zeppelin played their last ever concerts at Knebworth, and it was the end of an era for the Knebworth shows.
Both concerts overran, noise complaints were received from 7 miles away. The rubbish team struggled to cope
with clearing the arena between the shows. The Police believed that 200,000 people had turned up each night,
Sainsburys lost 150 trolleys and Tesco's 75% of their stock, and Lord Cobbold ended up in Court.[5]
These were amongst the largest crowds Led Zeppelin had ever performed to. Lewis writes:

For many in attendance it was their first ever concert experience. For many it would be the only time that they
would get to see Zeppelin perform live. For that reason alone it holds a special affection in their live history.
The first show in particular, with so much riding on it, was perhaps the most important they ever played.[3]
Similarly, Music journalist Chris Welch has observed that the audiences "included a whole new generation who had
never seen Led Zeppelin in their prime, and a group of teenagers from Sheffield who would one day achieve success
as Def Leppard.[4]
These were the final shows Led Zeppelin performed in the United Kingdom until 2007.
Critical reaction
The concerts received decidedly mixed reviews. Although the Record Mirror and Melody Maker provided generally
positive reports, journalists from other major music publications such as New Musical Express, Sounds, Rolling
Stone and The Sunday Times criticized Led Zeppelin's performances as being sluggish and rusty. With such a long
layoff since their last performances in Britain, and in the wake of the punk rock revolution, Led Zeppelin were now
considered to be obsolete in some quarters.[3] [4]
The negative reviews prompted the ire of Robert Plant, who made sarcastic reference to them on-stage during the 11
August show. However, Plant himself later expressed reservations about the concerts:
Knebworth was useless. It was no good at all. It was no good because we weren't ready to do it, the whole
thing was a management decision. It felt like I was cheating myself because I wasn't as relaxed as I could have
been. There was so much expectation there and the least we could have done was to have been confident
enough to kill. We maimed the beast for life, but we didn't kill it. It was good, but only because everybody
made it good. There was that sense of event.[6]
In an interview he gave in 2005, Plant elaborated:
I was racked with nerves. It was our first British gig in four years and we could have gone back to the Queen's
Head pub. We talked about doing something like that. But instead we went back in such a flurry and a fluster
to 210,000 people in a field and 180,000 more the next day [sic], surrounded by Keith and Ronnie and Todd
Rundgren. Nobody's big enough to meet those expectations. But because there was some chemical charge in
the air, it worked. It didn't work for us. We played too fast and we played too slow and it was like trying to
land a plane with one engine. But it was fantastic for those who were there.[7]
Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant stated after the event that Led Zeppelin's performance at Knebworth was "a bit
rusty".[3] In the opinion of Lewis, the gigs were a "nervous, rather tentative attempt [by Led Zeppelin] to step back
into the limelight ... Some of it was breathtaking, some musically woefully inept and sometimes it wavered between
the two in the space of a few minutes."[3] Welch, who also attended the concerts, similarly suggests that:
Fans [at Knebworth] were still supporting the band, but there was definitely a feeling [Led Zeppelin's] days
were numbered. Audience reaction at Knebworth had not been overwhelming and many seemed content to
stand and stare, like mesmerised spectators at an alien ritual, a far cry from the hysteria of earlier shows.
Robert Plant seemed perplexed at the silence between songs, when you could practically hear a pin drop in that
vast, cold field. It wasn't until he led the way into "Stairway to Heaven" and "Trampled Underfoot" that roars
of appreciation began to echo around Knebworth.[4]

Audio and video recordings

The two concerts were professionally recorded on the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio (engineered by George
Chkiantz) and also filmed, with live images beamed directly onto a giant screen behind the stage. The filming was
done by the TV International company under the direction of Chris Bodger.[3] There was a plan for the footage to be
used on a television special (this is one of the reasons the band members wore the same clothes on both nights) but
this idea was never realised. Only short clips of some of the songs were used by Atlantic Records for promotional
purposes.[3]
For many years, bootleg copies of this audio and video material circulated amongst fans. The first audience recorded
bootlegs became available in early 1980.[3] However, aside from the promotional snippets, Led Zeppelin never
officially released any of the recordings until 2003, when parts of the footage were digitally remastered and included
on the Led Zeppelin DVD.
Set list
Two songs from the band's eighth and most recent studio album, In Through the Out Door were played for the first
time on stage, namely "Hot Dog" and "In the Evening". The album was intended to be released prior to the band's
concerts, but production delays pushed its release date to shortly after the event. Plant jokingly referred to the delays
at times during the performance on August 4.
The band's set list was as follows:
3. "Black Dog" (Jones, Page, Plant)
4. "Nobody's Fault but Mine" (Page, Plant)
7. "Since I've Been Loving You" (Jones, Page, Plant)
8. "No Quarter" (Jones, Page, Plant,)
9. "Ten Years Gone" (Page, Plant)*
10. "Hot Dog" (Page, Plant)
14. "Trampled Under Foot" (Jones Page, Plant)
16. "Achilles Last Stand" (Page, Plant)

Dispute with Freddy Bannister

Following the event, a dispute arose between Grant and Bannister about the attendance figures at the event. A query
by Grant over ticket sales for the concerts resulted in him sending aerial pictures of the crowd to a monitoring
laboratory in Nassau, New York, in order to establish the extent of the attendance. He claimed that some 218,000
people were at the first concert and 187,000 at the second. However, the license was for only 100,000 and Bannister
claimed that only 104,000 had attended in the first week. For the second show, Grant brought in his own staff to man
turnstiles and count tickets.[3]
This disagreement eventually forced Bannister's concert promotion company into liquidation,[8] which allegedly left
unpaid bills of 50,000 for the police and 2,000 to the local borough council.[3]

Knebworth 1979 Tour Over Europe 1980 Ahmet Ertegn Tribute Concert
Tour Over Europe 1980 was the last concert tour by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The tour commenced on
June 17 and concluded on July 7, 1980. All of the shows on the tour took place in cities throughout Germany, with
the exceptions of one show each at Brussels, Rotterdam, Vienna and Zrich.
History
This was the first series of concerts performed by the band since their shows at Knebworth almost a year before.
Singer Robert Plant was reluctant to tour the United States, and the band wanted to avoid some of the negative press
attention which had dogged them in the United Kingdom, so as a compromise Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant
decided to schedule a short European tour. He hoped that being on the road again would rejuvenate Plant's
enthusiasm for touring, which would eventually lead to the band's return to the U.S.[1]
The band performed rehearsals for the tour at the Rainbow Theatre and Victoria Theatre in London, and then at
Shepperton Studios, Middlesex.[1]
During this tour the band played small venues with a scaled down PA and a modest stage and lighting setup. As
such, it had a much more low-key feel than had been witnessed on recent tours. The set list was also shorter at
approximately two hours in duration, with some of the band's lengthier songs such as "No Quarter" and "Moby
Dick" being discarded. A limited amount of material from the band's most recent album In Through the Out Door,
was also performed. The set for these concerts opened with "Train Kept A-Rollin'" which had not been a regular
feature of their live sets since 1969. Press coverage of this concert tour was minimal.[1]
Generally speaking, there was a playful and generous spirit about the tour, with guitarist Jimmy Page even handling
some of the stage introductions himself for the first time in the band's twelve year career.[2] However, some on-stage
problems were also experienced. The June 26th show at Vienna[3] was interrupted during "White Summer", as Page
was hit in the face by a firecracker. The organizer stepped up and talked to the audience, and asked the person
responsible to come to the stage to have a word with him. After a delay, the band returned to play "Kashmir" and
finish the show. The June 27th show at Nuremberg[4] came to an abrupt end after the third song when John Bonham
collapsed on stage and was rushed to a hospital. Press speculation arose that Bonham's problem was caused by an
excess of alcohol and drugs, but the band claimed that he had simply overeaten.[5]
The poster of the tour announced a second concert at Berlin, on July 8,[6] but this show was never performed. The
final full-length concert Led Zeppelin played until 2007 was on July 7,[7] with "Whole Lotta Love" being the final
song performed at this gig.
In an interview, bass player John Paul Jones recalled of this tour:

Morale was very high. We were in really good spirits. We were stripped down a lot, musically, and as an act,
we remember back to what we were doing. Punk kind of woke us up again. "Oh yeah, I remember what we are
supposed to be doing here." It was about to go for a change of gears and round two ... By the time John
[Bonham] died, we all had sorted it out and were ready to go again. He died in rehearsals for an American
tour.[8]
Recordings
Audio bootlegs
All the shows of the tour were released by the bootleg label Tarantura on a 26-disc box set, and as separate releases
during 1996 and 1997. Most of the shows are complete and are sourced from soundboard recordings; just the
Rotterdam show is missing the first four songs and the Vienna and Munich shows are sourced from audience
recordings. There is, however, a complete audience recording of the Rotterdam show in existence.
Video
On Led Zeppelin's website, there are 8mm films featuring parts of the Rotterdam,[9] Zrich[10] and Munich[11]
shows.

Tour Over Europe 1980 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert
The Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert was a benefit concert held in memory of music executive Ahmet Ertegun at
The O2 in London on December 10, 2007. The headline act was the English rock band, Led Zeppelin, who
performed their first full-length concert since the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, in a one-off reunion.
Bonham's son Jason Bonham played drums during the band's set, and also provided backing vocals on two songs.
Background
On September 12, 2007, it was confirmed during a press conference by promoter Harvey Goldsmith that the
surviving members of Led Zeppelin would reunite for the show, with Jason Bonham filling in on drums.[1] The
concert was originally scheduled to take place on November 26, 2007. It was to help raise money for the Ahmet
Ertegun Education Fund, which pays for university scholarships in the UK, US and Turkey.
Tickets were made available via a lottery system through the website Ahmettribute.com [2], costing 125 / $250,[2]
with all proceeds going to Ahmet's own charity. The website exceeded its bandwidth allowance and crashed almost
immediately following the announcement, with the promoter predicting that the gig would cause the "largest demand
for one show in history".[3] The promoter claimed that one million people registered for fewer than 20,000 available
tickets.[4] Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page later commented:
I knew it was going to sell out quickly, but the tidal wave of euphoria that preceded the gigthe
anticipationwent beyond what I could possibly have imagined. We'd had a few shambolic appearances in
the past, like Live Aid, so if we were ever going to come back together, we were going to do it properly and
stand up and be counted.[5]
On November 1, 2007, it was announced that Page fractured the little finger on his left hand after a fall in his garden
and the reunion show was postponed to December 10, 2007.[6]
The concert
Opening acts
The show opened with a band consisting of Keith Emerson, Chris Squire, Alan White and Simon Kirke with the
brass section from Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings. They played Emerson, Lake & Palmer's version of "Fanfare for a
Common Man", including sections from Yes's "The Fish" and Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir". Initially the openers should
have been Squire, White and Rick Wakeman but Wakeman was unavailable for the rescheduled date due to prior

commitments and Emerson was called in as a last minute replacement.
The show also featured Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Paul Rodgers, Paolo Nutini, and Foreigner as supporting acts.
The majority of the performance was by the Rhythm Kings, with Nutini and Rodgers both guesting on two songs
each. The performance billed as "Foreigner" was in fact only Mick Jones performing "I Want to Know What Love
Is" with St. Lukes C of E secondary school as the choir and the Rhythm Kings as the backing band. Other guests on
the Rhythm Kings set included Maggie Bell and Alvin Lee.[7] [8] Pete Townshend was scheduled to perform as a
supporting act, but he pulled out when he heard Led Zeppelin was performing, saying, "They really don't need
me."[9] Other acts considered for the show included a reunited Cream.
Led Zeppelin
The band performed 16 songsincluding two encoresfeaturing a range of songs from across the spectrum of their
career; however no material from the band's final album, In Through the Out Door, was performed. Included in the
set list were two numbers which were played live in their entirety for the first time ever by Led Zeppelin"Ramble
On" and "For Your Life".

2. "Ramble On"
3. "Black Dog"
4. "In My Time of Dying"/"Honey Bee"

First Encore:
"Whole Lotta Love"
Second Encore:
"Rock and Roll"
Many of the songs were performed one step tuned down in order to accommodate singer Robert Plant's vocal range,
although some were kept in their original key.
The concert sound was mixed by Metallica's FOH engineer Big Mick.[10] The concert was also filmed for a possible
DVD release.[11] In an interview he gave in March 2008, Page commented
It was recorded, but we didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD to come out at Christmas, or
whatever. We haven't seen the images or investigated the multitracks. It's feasible that it might come out at
some distant point, but it'll be a massive job to embark on.[12]
In January 2010, when asked whether a DVD of the O2 reunion gig is expected, Page responded: "Not in the
foreseeable future, I cant give you an answer on that."[13]
However, the concert was recorded by many fans. Sophisticated bootleg versions of the show are available on the
Internet, including a wide-screen DVD with a surround sound audio track mixed from 10 different audience
519

recordings of the show.
The historic concert attracted nearly 20,000 fans from all corners of the globe. Because of the enormous demand for
tickets, an online lottery system was implemented in which fans entered a random drawing. Eight thousand fans were
selected and allowed to purchase the 16,000 tickets that were made available to the public. To combat fears of ticket
scalping, lottery winners had to be present in London with ID to pick up their tickets and wristbands for entry.
Hundreds of fans with General Admission tickets arrived at the O2 Arena days in advance with the hopes of being
front and center for such a landmark occasion.
A number of celebrities attended the gig, including Dave Grohl (who praised Jason Bonham's performance, and was
one of the other candidates to play drums),[14] Chad Smith, BBC Radio 1 DJs Chris Moyles & Fearne Cotton, Brett
Hull, BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans, Bob Harris, Ilan Rubin,[15] Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Brian May,[16] David
Gilmour, Bianca Grant, Lulu, Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, Ann Wilson,[17] Arctic Monkeys, The Edge,
Bernard Sumner, Dave Mustaine (who received free tickets from Ross Halfin), Peter Gabriel, John Squire, Mick
Jagger, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, Matt Morgan, Juliette Lewis, James Dean Bradfield, Richard Hammond,
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Ashcroft,[18] Marilyn Manson, Warren Haynes, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, David
Boreanaz, W. Earl Brown, Erika Sawajiri, Jerry Hall, Priscilla Presley,[19] Paris Hilton[20] and Neil Finn.[21] [22]
Critical response
Music critics in attendance were unanimous in their praise for Led Zeppelin's performance. New Musical Express
proclaimed, "What they have done here tonight is proof they can still perform to the level that originally earned them
their legendary reputation...We can only hope this isn't the last we see of them."[23]
The New Yorker critic Sasha Frere-Jones, who attended the concert wrote, "The failed gigs of the nineteen-eighties
and nineties have been supplanted by a triumph, and the band should be pleased to have done Ertegun proud with
such a spirited performance."[24]
Members of the band have also expressed their satisfaction with the concert. Page commented that "it was a
wonderful celebration of the music, a celebration of the fact that the essence of it, the energy, was still there,".[5] He
also reflected that "Its great that we did it. I look back on that night with a great amount of fondness, but Jason
[Bonham] was the hero. For me that gig was about him."[25]
Plant has stated:
On a musical level, we've had sublime moments and there were several on December 10. Bear in mind that
we're old guys now and we're not supposed to be hip-shrugging teenage idols. It was pretty ... I'm not sure
'sincere' is the right word. But it was as real as you're going to get. And Jimmy [Page] was on fire at times.[5]
In an interview he gave to The Times in January 2010, Page recalled:
We played really, really well. But we played with a totally different urgency, if you like, from how we played
in the rehearsals although the rehearsals were pretty damn good, too. I suppose in retrospect the fact there
was only one gig then its great that everyone afterwords would say that it was an historic and inspiring gig for
people to hear.
It is a shame that there werent any more that followed on and now we got to two years later and everyones
doing their own thing and thats how that is at this point of time or certainly into next year. So thats it.[13]

Bron-Yr-Aur
Bron-Yr-Aur (Welsh for "golden hill", "breast of the
gold"
or
"hill
of
the
gold";
Welsh
pronunciation:[brn.r.ar]), sometimes misspelled as
Bron-Y-Aur, is an 18th century cottage in South
Snowdonia, Wales, best known for its association with
the English rock band Led Zeppelin.
The cottage was used by the family of Led Zeppelin
singer Robert Plant during the 1950s as a holiday
home.[1] [2] In 1970, Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page
spent time there after a long and gruelling concert tour
of North America. Though the cottage had no running
Bron-Yr-Aur (July 1993)
water or electricity, they used it as a retreat to write and
record some of their third album, Led Zeppelin III. At
the cottage during this time were Plant's wife Maureen and 18-month-old daughter Carmen, Page's girlfriend
Charlotte Martin, and Led Zeppelin roadies Clive Coulson and Sandy MacGregor.
Page has explained that:
Robert (Plant) and I went to Bron-Yr-Aur in 1970. We'd been working solidly right up to that point. Even
recordings were done on the road. We had this time off and Robert suggested the cottage. I certainly hadn't
been to that area of Wales. So we took our guitars down there and played a few bits and pieces. This
wonderful countryside, panoramic views and having the guitars ... it was just an automatic thing to be playing.
And we started writing.[3]
According to the guitarist, the time spent at Bron-Yr-Aur in 1970
...was the first time I really came to know Robert [Plant]. Actually living together at Bron-Yr-Aur, as opposed
to occupying nearby hotel rooms. The songs took us into areas that changed the band, and it established a
standard of travelling for inspiration... which is the best thing a musician can do.[4]
Led Zeppelin songs which can be traced to Plant and Page's time at Bron-Yr-Aur in 1970 include "Over the Hills and
Far Away" and "The Crunge" (both from Houses of the Holy), "The Rover", "Bron-Yr-Aur" and "Down by the
Seaside" (from Physical Graffiti), "Poor Tom" (from Coda) and three they actually used on Led Zeppelin III:
"Friends", "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "That's the Way". There were also two songs recorded, called "Another Way To
Wales" and "I Wanna Be Her Man", which never found their way onto an official Led Zeppelin album.[1] A
primitive recording of the latter of these can however be heard on bootleg label Antrabata's studio outtakes
sessions.[5]
When on-stage for Page and Plant's Unledded reunion in 1994, Plant announced to the audience that Page's daughter,
Scarlet Page, was conceived "about half an hour" after "That's the Way" was written at Bron-Yr-Aur.[1]
Led Zeppelin used the name of the house in the title of their songs: "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" (the name of the house
being accidentally misspelled on the album cover), and "Bron-Yr-Aur". "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is a country music
inflected hoedown on Led Zeppelin III, in which Robert Plant waxes lyrical about walking in the woods with Strider,
his blue eyed merle dog. Contrastingly, "Bron-Yr-Aur" is a gentle, acoustic instrumental by Page on the six-string
Bron-Yr-Aur
guitar, which appeared on the later album Physical Graffiti and in the film The Song Remains the Same.
"Bron-Y-Aur" is also the name of the secret instrumental track at the end of Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV,
Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, the third album from Coheed and Cambria. The track has a
similar sound to the Led Zeppelin song of the same title.

been converted from a regular Boeing 707 into a 45-seat plane. For the 1977 tour, the fuselage of the plane was
painted with the 'Led Zeppelin' and 'Swan Song RecordsSwan Song' logos. It was also fitted with huge,
overstuffed-chair type seating, and there was a bar and private rooms for each member and a Hammond
organ.Steven Rosen, On the Road with Led Zeppelin, Modern Guitars, May 25, 2007Steven Rosen, "Led Zeppelin's

per day.As they had done on their previous 1973 and 1975 concert tours with The Starship, Led Zeppelin based
themselves at major cities such as Chicago and used Caesar's Chariot to shuttle them to and from concerts. Tour
manager Richard Cole explained:It (Led Zeppelin's 1977 tour) wasnt a lot different to me from the 75 tour; it was
the same process of workin, you know. We had our 707 jet, and I worked out what cities were in range of Chicago.
It was easier to leave at 3 or 4 or 5 in the afternoon and then just go to our plane and fly straight into the city we were
performing in. It was specifically because it was much better and more comfortable for us to be based in one city and
fly in and out. And leave straight afterwards and go straight back to Chicago.After Led Zeppelin returned the plane
in late 1977, it returned into service until Boeing Military Airplane Company bought it in late 1986 and placed it in

Peter Clifton
Peter Clifton (born 1947) is an Australian film director and producer, perhaps best known for directing the Led
Zeppelin concert film The Song Remains the Same (1976).
Clifton was born in Sydney and had experience in music film production prior to his involvement with Led Zeppelin,
having made a 30 minute cinema short about Australian band The Easybeats' tour of England in 1967, called
Somewhere Between Heaven And Woolworths, and also having filmed Jimi Hendrix live in concert. In 1973 he also
directed The London Rock and Roll Show, which documented a major rock and roll festival held at Wembley
Stadium, London, in August 1972. In 1974 he was planning to shoot a reggae film in Jamaica when he was
approached by Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant, to complete their concert film. The film had originally been
begun by director Joe Massot, but Massot was fired by the band prior to its completion.
After completing post-production on the film Clifton had a falling out with Led Zeppelin. Suspecting that Clifton
had 'stolen' negatives of the film, Grant ordered that his house be searched while Peter and his family were away on
holidays. They did find some footage, but this turned out to be a collection of the best 'home movie' footage which
Clifton had intended to give to the band members as a gift. Clifton was also annoyed at the decision to remove from
the film's credits the names of all the people who had worked on editing, make up and effects.
In 1979 Clifton directed the concert film Live In Central Park, featuring the final concert of America's world tour the only time that the band has been officially captured on film. Clifton also made the famous film clip of the Rolling
Stones' performance of "Jumpin' Jack Flash". He has produced many other Rolling Stones clips and videos, along
with videos for The Beach Boys, Jim Morrison and Eric Clapton.
Clifton returned to Australia in the mid-1980s after many years living overseas to start the Hard Rock Cafe there. It
opened in Sydney on 1 April 1989. In 1984 produced and directed the rockumentary AUSTRALIA NOW ! starring
INXS, Men At Work, Midnight Oil and Split Enz.
In 2003 Clifton wrote and produced his first feature film, The Night We Called It a Day, the story of Frank Sinatra's
tour of Australia in 1974.
In 2006 it was reported that a 16 mm reel of the Apollo 11 moon landing belonging to Clifton, which had been held
for 20 years in a Sydney vault as part of his personal film catalogue, was rediscovered. Clifton had ordered the reel
in 1979 for a rock film he was making about Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, ordering the film for $US180
from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC but forgot he had it until seeing a news report on television.
The footage of Neil Armstrong's "one small step" is considered among the most important artefacts of the 20th
century but the original NASA tapes have been mislaid somewhere in the US. It is hoped documentation associated
with Clifton's reel will help direct researchers to the warehouse or museum where the missing tapes are stored - if
they still exist.
Clifton is currently co-producing The Bloody Ashes, a film which will focus on the 1932-33 Ashes Bodyline series.
Shooting of The Bloody Ashes is expected to commence in 2008. He is also developing the best-selling Peter
FitzSimons book Tobruk into a feature film.

Richard Cole (born January 2, 1946) was heavily involved in the rock music business from the mid-1960s to 2003,
and is most famous for being the tour manager of English rock band Led Zeppelin from 1968 to 1980.
Early career
Cole was from Kensal Rise, in the north London borough of Brent. His father was an architect who worked for Rolls
Royce vehicle design, and later in aircraft assembly during World War II. At age twelve, Cole became interested in
music after hearing Elvis Presley and The Everly Brothers. At age fifteen he quit school and with his first job
working at a dairy factory in Acton, earned enough money to purchase a drumkit, to which he practiced along to
Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa records. The low wages forced Cole to take up an apprenticeship in sheet-metal
working whilst also working as a scaffolder on construction sites. He was also very interested in the fashion industry,
at one point harbouring plans to be a fashion designer, and he claims to have designed the shirts worn by John
Lennon and Ringo Starr on the Revolver album cover.[1]
Cole was drawn into the music business after meeting Richard Green, journalist for the Record Mirror, at the
Marquee Club in 1965. Green suggested that Cole contact John Barker, the manager of pop band Unit 4 + 2, for a job
as their road manager. Barker gave Cole the job, and he soon became one of rock's most respected tour managers,
working for The Who in 1965 and The New Vaudeville Band in 1966. In 1967 Cole moved to America and worked
for Vanilla Fudge as a sound engineer. When he heard that The Yardbirds were coming to America in 1968, he
contacted their manager Peter Grant, whom he had previously known when Grant was the manager of the New
Vaudeville Band, and became their tour manager. When The Yardbirds dissolved shortly thereafter, Grant and Cole
became the manager and tour manager respectively of Led Zeppelin.
Richard Cole
Led Zeppelin
Cole was one of the first tour managers to specialise in the American tours of English bands. Instead of hiring
equipment in America and using an American crew to service the band, as was the custom until that point, Cole
implemented the new practice of bringing over all the equipment and an entirely English crew. This practice
subsequently became commonplace for other bands touring America.[2]
On December 23, 1968, Cole booked Led Zeppelin into the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles
and later on the nearby Continental Hyatt House, also known as "The Riot House". Cole was also responsible for
introducing groupies to members of the band, some whom he had known on previous tours with The Yardbirds and
The Who.[3]
Cole was responsible for collecting box office takings and keeping receipts on behalf of the band for Led Zeppelin
concert tours. During Led Zeppelin's final show at Madison Square Garden in New York in May 1973 during their
1973 North American tour, more than US$203,000 disappeared from a safe deposit box at the Drake Hotel. The
police at first suspected Cole as being responsible for the theft. Cole was entrusted with the key to the safe deposit
box at the time of the theft and he was the first person at the scene to discover that the money was unaccounted for.
Cole took a lie detector test and was cleared of any involvement. [4] The money was never recovered, and neither
Cole nor anyone associated with Led Zeppelin was ever charged. The Drake Hotel was later sued over the
incident.[5]
In 1977, manager Peter Grant gave his approval for Cole to hire John Bindon to act as security co-ordinator for the
band's concert tour of the United States. Bindon had previously provided security for actors Ryan and Tatum O'Neal.
Towards the end of the tour, a major incident occurred during a concert at the Oakland Coliseum on July 23, 1977.
Upon arrival at the stadium, it was alleged that Bindon pushed a member of promoter Bill Graham's stage crew out
of the way as the band entered via a backstage ramp. Tension had been simmering between Graham's staff and Led
Zeppelin's security team during the day, and as Grant and Bindon were walking down the ramp near the end of the
concert, words were exchanged with stage crew chief Jim Downey, which resulted in Bindon knocking Downey out
cold.[6]
Within minutes a separate off-stage incident, involving Graham's security man Jim Matzorkis (who was accused of
slapping Peter Grant's 11 year-old son Warren over a dressing room sign), escalated into an all-out brawl in which
Matzorkis was brutally beaten. Led Zeppelin's second Oakland show took place only after Bill Graham signed a
letter of indemnification, absolving Led Zeppelin from responsibility for the previous night's incident. However,
Graham refused to honour the letter and assault charges were laid against Grant, Cole, Bindon, and John Bonham
when the band arrived back at their hotel. All four pleaded nolo contendere and received suspended sentences.
Bindon was dismissed by Peter and returned to England. Grant later stated that allowing Bindon to be hired was the
biggest mistake he ever made as manager.[7]
Whilst tour manager for Led Zeppelin, Cole developed substance abuse problems. He was fired from his position as
road manager for Led Zeppelin's final concert tour of Europe in 1980 because Peter Grant was concerned about his
drug and alcohol abuse.[8] He was replaced by Phil Carlo. Sent to Italy to detox, Cole was mistaken for a terrorist
involved in the 1980 Bologna railway station bombing and was temporarily imprisoned.[9]

Richard Cole
Post-Led Zeppelin
Since the cessation of his involvement with Led Zeppelin, Cole has served as the tour manager for Eric Clapton,
Black Sabbath, Lita Ford, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Uhuru, and Three Dog Night, managed Fem 2 Fem and, most
recently, toured with Gipsy Kings, Crazy Town and Fu Manchu. According to his publisher HarperCollins, he now
divides his time between Venice, California, and London.[10]
Contributions to published accounts

Since Led Zeppelin's breakup in 1980, Cole has contributed to unofficial Led Zeppelin biographies, most notably
Stephen Davis' much-maligned biography Hammer of the Gods. Cole has claimed he was only paid $1250 by Davis
for his revelations, which make up a large proportion of the book. Davis for his part has claimed that Cole "was
responsible for much of the mayhem around Led Zeppelin."[3]
In an interview with New Musical Express magazine in 1985, Robert Plant dismissed many of the claims made by
Cole in Davis' book, and discussed why Cole was removed as tour manager:
These stories would filter out from girls who'd supposedly been in my room when in fact they'd been in his.
That sort of atmosphere was being created, and we were quite tired of it. So eventually we relieved him of his
position And in the meantime he got paid a lot of money for talking crap. A lot of the time he wasn't
completely well. And so his view of things was permanently distorted one way or another.[11]
Cole has also written his own book, an unofficial account of the band called Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin
Uncensored, with Richard Trubo. Cole's book raised the ire of Page, who once commented:
There's a book written by our former road manager, Richard Cole that has made me completely ill. I'm so mad
about it that I can't even bring myself to read the whole thing. The two bits that I have read are so ridiculously
false, that I'm sure if I read the rest I'd be able to sue Cole and the publishers. But it would be so painful to
read that it wouldn't be worth it.
Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones has expressed similar views about Cole's reliability, stating in a magazine
interview that Cole's accounts are "a mish-mash of several stories put together, usually with the wrong endings and
making us look miserable bastards rather than the funsters we were."[12] Jones was so incensed at the depiction of
John Bonham in Cole's book Stairway to Heaven that he decided never to speak to him again.[12] In an interview
with PR-Inside online magazine, Jones also claimed when he had once asked Cole about why he'd exaggerated the
group's behaviour for that book, Cole explained that "he'd been a drug addict who needed the money".[13]
Despite the bitterness felt by Plant, Page, and Jones to their former road manager, Cole was invited to the Led
Zeppelin Reunion in 2007, and was even invited to the VIP section.[14]
References in popular culture

Cole can be seen in several scenes of Led Zeppelin's concert film, The Song Remains the Same (1976).
Cole is also mentioned in one of the deleted scenes from the documentary Plaster Caster. In this scene, Cynthia
Plaster Caster recalls two experiences with him. While trying to obtain a casting for her collection, she is asked to
give Robert Plant fellatio and at some point Richard Cole urinates on her. On another occasion she states that he
chases her through a hotel and she is able to escape, but she insinuates that he may subsequently have been involved
with the whipping of her friend named Harlo.

Peter "G" Grant (5 April 1935 21 November 1995) was an English music manager. Grant managed the popular
English bands The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and Bad Company, among others, and was also a record executive for
Swan Song Records. Grant has been described as "one of the shrewdest and most ruthless managers in rock
history".[1] He is widely credited with improving pay and conditions for musicians in dealings with concert
promoters.[2]
Early life
Grant was born in the south London suburb of South Norwood, Surrey, England. His mother Dorothy worked as a
secretary. He attended Sir Walter St John School in Grayshott before the Second World War, and completed his
schooling at Charterhouse School in Godalming after the evacuation.[3] After the war Grant returned to Norwood
until leaving at the age of 13, when he became a sheet metal factory worker in Croydon. He left that job after a few
weeks and obtained employment on Fleet Street delivering photographs for Reuters. Grant was soon attracted to the
entertainment industry, and worked as a stagehand for the Croydon Empire Theatre until 1953, when he was called
up for National Service in the RAOC, reaching the rank of Corporal.[4] He worked briefly as an entertainment
manager at a hotel in Jersey before being employed as a bouncer and doorman at London's famous The 2i's Coffee
Bar, where Cliff Richard, Adam Faith, Tommy Steele and others got their start.[5] Australian-born professional
wrestler Paul Lincoln, who also co-owned the 2i's bar, suggested Grant appear on television and gave him the
opportunity to wrestle under the titles "Count Massimo" and "Count Bruno Alassio of Milan," using his 6ft 5 in
frame to good effect.[5] This kindled his enthusiasm for acting, and he was hired by film studios as a bit part actor,
stuntman, and body double.
Acting career
Between 1958 and 1963, Grant appeared in a number of movies, including A Night to Remember (as a crew member
on the Titanic), The Guns of Navarone (as a British commando) and Cleopatra (as a palace guard). He also appeared
in television shows such as The Saint, Crackerjack, Dixon of Dock Green, and The Benny Hill Show. He was Robert
Morley's double on many of that actor's films. The money he made from these ventures was invested in his own
entertainment transport business. As the acting roles dried up, Grant made more money taking groups such as The
Shadows to their concerts.
Peter Grant
Artist management
In 1963, Grant was hired by promoter Don Arden to act as the British tour manager for artists such as Bo Diddley,
The Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Brian Hyland, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and The Animals.
By 1964, Grant had started to manage his own acts including The Nashville Teens, an all-girl group called She
Trinity, The New Vaudeville Band, Jeff Beck, Terry Reid, and Stone the Crows. His management was established in
the same 155 Oxford Street office used by his friend, record producer Mickie Most, who had previously worked with
Grant at The 2i's club. Most and Grant together set up the highly successful RAK Records label, which produced a
string of hits throughout the 1970s.
In late 1966 Simon Napier-Bell asked Grant to take over management of The Yardbirds, who were constantly
touring yet struggling financially. Mickie Most had suggested to Napier-Bell that Grant would be an asset to The
Yardbirds, but as it happened, his arrival was too late to save the band. The experience, however, did give him ideas
which were put to good use later with Led Zeppelin. As he explained:
When I started managing The Yardbirds, they weren't getting the hit singles, but were on the college circuit
and underground scene in America. Instead of trying to get played on Top 40 radio, I realised that there was
another market. We were the first UK act to get booked at places like The Fillmore. The scene was
changing.[6]
Grant's no-nonsense approach to promoters, and his persuasive presence, were influential in The Yardbirds making
money from concerts for the first time. Grant travelled closely with The Yardbirds, ensuring that all costs were kept
to a minimum, that members were paid on time, and that the band retained artistic control. Unlike most other
managers at the time who rarely set foot in a music venue, Grant's approach was hands-on.
The Led Zeppelin era

In 1968 The Yardbirds dissolved, with all band members departing except guitarist Jimmy Page, who promptly set
about constructing a new group consisting of himself, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. Originally
dubbed the "New Yardbirds"---Page, according to numerous studies of Led Zeppelin, was left with ownership of the
Yardbirds' name and a commitment to one final Yardbirds' tour in Europe---the group chose the name Led Zeppelin
at the end of that "New Yardbirds" tour, with Grant assuming the position as their manager. His trust and loyalty to
Led Zeppelin was such that his managerial arrangement with the band was via a gentlemen's agreement.[7]
It is doubtful whether Led Zeppelin would have been as successful without Grant as their manager.[2] [8] He
negotiated the group's sizable five-year record contract with Atlantic Records, and his business philosophy would
eventually pay off for the label. Grant strongly believed that bands could make more money, and have more artistic
merit, by focusing their efforts on albums rather than singles. Live performances were deemed more important than
television appearances if one wanted to see Led Zeppelin, one had to experience their performances in person.[2] [9]
Led Zeppelin's particular success in the United States can partly be credited to Grant's keen sense of US audiences
and the vast underground movement that was sweeping the country.[10] It was his sound knowledge of the American
touring scene that thrust Led Zeppelin into the forefront of the burgeoning American rock market, and under his
stewardship the great majority of Led Zeppelin concerts were performed in the United States, resulting in massive
profits for the group.[2] He ensured that the vast bulk of ticket profits wound up in the hands of the band rather than
in the hands of promoters and booking agents.,[11] and is reported to have secured 90% of gate money from concerts
performed by the band,[1] an unprecedented feat. By taking this approach he set a new standard for artist
management, "single-handedly pioneer[ing] the shift of power from the agents and promoters to the artists and
management themselves."[2]
Grant's determination to protect the financial interests of Led Zeppelin was also reflected by the
sometimes-extraordinary measures he took to combat the practice of unauthorized live bootleg recordings. He is
reported to have personally visited record stores in London that were selling Led Zeppelin bootlegs and demanded
532
Peter Grant
all copies be handed over. He also monitored the crowd at Led Zeppelin concerts in order to locate anything which
resembled bootleg recording equipment. At one concert at Vancouver in 1971 he saw what he thought was such
equipment on the floor of the venue and ensured that it was destroyed, only to later learn that it was a noise pollution
unit being operated by city officials to test the volume of the concert.[12] On another occasion, at the Bath Festival in
1970, he personally threw a bucket of water over unauthorised recording equipment.[8] [13] Grant's famous dressing
room scene in the film The Song Remains the Same, where he demands an explanation from concert staff about the
sale of illegal posters, was typical of his no-nonsense dealings with people who tried to profit at the band's expense.
Grant is also recognised for the complete and unwavering faith that he placed in Led Zeppelin.[2] [14] Unlike some
other managers of the era, he never compromised his clients by exploiting them for short-term profit, instead always
putting their interests first.[5] This was demonstrated by his decision to never release the popular songs from Led
Zeppelin's albums as singles in the UK, out of respect for the band's desire to develop the concept of album-oriented
rock. As was explained by Jones:
[Peter] trusted us to get the music together, and then just kept everybody else away, making sure we had the
space to do whatever we wanted without interference from anybody - press, record company, promoters. He
only had us [as clients] and reckoned that if we were going to do good, then he would do good. He always
believed that we would be hugely successful and people became afraid not to go along with his terms in case
they missed out.[5]
Grant's past experience in handling stars such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent also provided him with an
excellent grounding in managing the pandemonium which frequently surrounded Led Zeppelin, particularly whilst
the band was on tour.[2] Grant himself said that "Led Zeppelin looks after the music and I do everything else - and if
it takes some strong measures to get our way, then so be it."[2] According to rock journalist Steven Rosen:
Peter Grant, former bouncer and wrestler, was, in many respects, the physical embodiment of a led zeppelin.
Standing over six feet and weighing over 300 pounds, he used his intimidating presence to maintain order and
to keep his charges safe and worry-free ... His raison detre was simple - protecting his band and their finances.
When a bootlegger or unauthorized photographer was identified, it was the lucky infringing party who was let
off with merely a severe verbal reprimand and confiscation of unauthorized T-shirts and film.[15]
However, although there were several reports of his heavy-handed, intimidating tactics, Grant's biographers Lewis
and Pallet suggest that "he was generally held in high esteem by those with whom he came in contact."[2] In the
words of John Paul Jones, "Peter was a very sensitive man. He was a very, very smart man. People just think of his
size and his reputation, but actually he never had to use his size. He could out-talk anybody ..."[16]
Grant was instrumental in setting up Led Zeppelin's publishing company, Superhype Music, in 1968. He was also the
driving force in establishing Swan Song Records in 1974, which gave Led Zeppelin further financial and artistic
control over its products. Although initially he solely managed Led Zeppelin, in later years he additionally assumed
management of other bands signed to Swan Song, such as Bad Company and Maggie Bell. In 1975 he turned down a
lucrative offer to manage Queen. When he was once questioned on what was the single most important thing a
manager could say, Grant's response was "Know when to say 'no'." In 1977, he was asked by Colonel Tom Parker to
manage a proposed concert tour of Europe by Elvis Presley, but Elvis died on August 16, 1977, just as negotiations
had commenced.
The Oakland incident

In 1977, Grant gave his approval for Led Zeppelin's tour manager Richard Cole to hire John Bindon to act as security
co-ordinator for the band's concert tour of the United States. Bindon had previously provided security for actors
Ryan and Tatum O'Neal. Towards the end of the tour, a major incident occurred during their first concert at the
Oakland Coliseum on July 23, 1977. Upon arrival at the stadium, it was alleged that Bindon pushed a member of
promoter Bill Graham's stage crew out of the way as the band entered via a backstage ramp. Tension had been
simmering between Graham's staff and Led Zeppelin's security team during the day, and as Grant and Bindon were
533

walking down the ramp near the end of the concert, words were exchanged with stage crew chief Jim Downey,
which resulted in Bindon knocking Downey unconscious.[17] Within minutes, a separate off-stage incident involving
Graham's security man Jim Matzorkis (who was accused of slapping Peter Grant's 11 year-old son Warren over the
removal of a dressing room sign), escalated into an all-out brawl. Led Zeppelin's second Oakland show took place
only after Bill Graham signed a letter of indemnification absolving Led Zeppelin from responsibility for the previous
night's incident. However, Graham refused to honour the letter because, according to his legal advice, was he was
under no obligation to agree to its terms. Members of the band returned to their hotel after the concert, and were
woken the next morning by a surprise police raid after Graham had decided to press charges.[18] Bindon, Cole, Grant
and Bonham received bail and continued the tour to New Orleans on July 26. When all four finished the tour, a suit
was filed against them by Graham for $2 million.[19] [20] After months of legal wrangling, Led Zeppelin offered to
settle and all four pleaded nolo contendere, receiving suspended sentences and fines. Bindon had already been
dismissed by the band upon return to England. Grant later stated that allowing Bindon to be hired was the biggest
mistake he ever made as manager.[21]
Post-Led Zeppelin and death

Marital problems, diabetes, cocaine addiction and the death of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham all took their
toll on Grant's health, and after the official breakup of Led Zeppelin in 1980, and the subsequent folding of the Swan
Song label in 1983, he virtually retired from the music business to his private estate in Hellingly, East Sussex. This is
the house that is featured at the beginning of the film The Song Remains the Same.
Towards the end of his life, however, he conquered his addiction and lost a significant amount of weight. His first
public appearance for many years was in 1989, when he and Jimmy Page both attended a Frank Sinatra concert at the
Royal Albert Hall. Grant subsequently sold his estate, and moved to nearby Eastbourne, where he was offered the
civic position of local magistrate for the town council, but turned it down.[22] In 1992, he appeared in the film Carry
On Columbus as a cardinal.[23] In his remaining years, Grant became a keynote speaker at music management
conferences such as In The City, where he was lauded by latter-day peers.[2]
On the afternoon of 21 November 1995, while driving to his home at Eastbourne, Grant suffered a fatal heart attack,
his son Warren by his side. He was 60 years old. Grant was buried on 4 December 1995 at Hellingly Cemetery with
the funeral service held at St. Peter and St. Paul's churchyard, Hellingly, East Sussex. His eulogy was read by long
time friend Alan Callan.[24] Coincidentally, it was the 15th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's official breakup. His final
public appearance had been at the final night of the Page and Plant tour at the Wembley Arena in July 1995.[2]
Grant was survived by son Warren and daughter Helen (born 1964). Helen was partner to former The Moody Blues
and Wings guitarist Denny Laine. They have one daughter Lucianne (born 1987).
Tributes and accolades

Grant has been widely recognised for improving pay and conditions for musicians in dealings with concert
promoters. According to Mat Snow, "Peter Grant enjoys a proud position in the pantheon of legendary British rock
managers."[25] Robin Denselow of The Guardian stated that "Peter Grant was the most colorful and influential
manager in the history of rock."[26] Phil Everly, from The Everly Brothers, noted that "[w]ithout his efforts,
musicians had no careers. He was the first to make sure the artists came first and that we got paid and paid
properly."[27]
Chris Dreja, whom Grant had managed whilst he was with the Yardbirds, recalls:
We owe so much to that man. He changed the balance for musicians ... His vision was amazing. His dedication
was with Led Zeppelin, and between them they had a very powerful tool.[11]
Similarly, Page has described Grant as groundbreaking in his style of management, explaining that "Peter had
changed the dynamic that existed between bands, managers and promoters. He was a superb, canny manager."[28]

wrote that book knew nothing about the band. I think he'd hung around us once. He got all his information from a
Richard Coleguy who had a heroin problem who happened to be associated with us. The only thing I read was the
"After Zeppelin" part, because I was eager to get on with the music and stop living in a dream state.Chuck
Klosterman, Interview with Robert Plant, originally published in Spin Magazine, reproduced at

As Plant explained: He (Davis) did a lot of investigations with a guy who used to work with Led Zeppelin, Richard
Cole, who, over the years, had shown deep frustration at not being in a position to have any authority at all. He was
tour manager and he had a problem which could have been easily solved if he'd been given something intelligent to
do rather than check the hotels, and I think it embittered him greatly. He became progressively unreliable and, sadly,
became a millstone around the neck of the group. These stories would filter out from girls who'd supposedly been in
my room when in fact they'd been in his. That sort of atmosphere was being created, and we were quite tired of it. So
eventually we relieved him of his position and in the meantime he got paid a lot of money for talking crap. A lot of
the time he wasn't completely well. And so his view of things was permanently distorted one way or another.Snow,

Headley Grange
Headley Grange
Headley Grange is a former poorhouse in Headley, East Hampshire, England, UK. It is best known as a recording
and rehearsal venue in the 1960s and 1970s for bands such as Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Fleetwood Mac,
Genesis, Peter Frampton, the Pretty Things, Ian Dury and Clover.
Early history
Built in 1795, Headley Grange is a three-storey stone structure which was originally used as a workhouse for the
poor, infirmed and orphaned. It was the centre of a well-publicised riot in 1830, which is the subject of a 2002 book
by local author, John Owen Smith, entitled One Monday in November - The Story of the Selborne and Headley
Workhouse Riots of 1830. In 1870, the building was bought by builder Thomas Kemp for 420, who converted it
into a private residence and named it Headley Grange.
Use as a recording and rehearsal studio

Parts of Led Zeppelin's albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti were
composed and/or recorded at Headley Grange. Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant wrote most of the lyrics to Led
Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" there in a single day.[1] The Led Zeppelin song "Black Dog", which appeared on
Led Zeppelin IV, was named after a black Labrador Retriever which was found hanging around Headley Grange
during recording.[2] [3]
According to Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page:
Headley Grange was somewhat rundown, the heating didn't work. But it had one major advantage. Other
bands had rehearsed there and hadn't had any complaints. That's a major issue, because you don't want to go
somewhere and start locking into the work process and then have to pull out.[4]
In an interview he gave to Mojo magazine in 2010, Page elaborated:
The reason we went there in the first place was to have a live-in situation where you're writing and really
living the music. We'd never really had that experience before as a group, apart from when Robert [Plant] and
I had gone to Bron-Yr-Aur. But that was just me and Robert going down there and hanging out in the bosom
of Wales and enjoying it. This was different. It was all of us really concentrating in a concentrated
environment and the essence of what happened there manifested itself across three albums (IV, Houses of the
Holy, Physical Graffiti).[5]
Peter Gabriel and other Genesis members have acknowledged writing much of the material for their 1974 concept
album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway at the retreat.[6]
Yazoo also recorded the video for their track "Don't Go" at Headley Grange.
Depiction in It Might Get Loud

In the 2009 documentary It Might Get Loud Page is filmed visiting Headley Grange and discussing the recording of
Led Zeppelin IV there.
He later recalled of this visit:
[M]y memories of it were still very much as it was when we'd played there originally. It wasn't really being
used back then, but the same family still own it. The lady who rented it to [Led Zeppelin] I think had passed
on, but I think her granddaughter lives there now. My memories of it were really as it was in those old days
with the heating not working and it being very damp, but it was still the scene of some very high-energy
playing ... [In the film] I was quite overwhelmed when I went in, not only because of the past but also because
539
Headley Grange
now it was a house and I was poking around in a house that was a home. There was furniture, ornaments,
pictures and even some musical instruments ... [T]he dimensions of the hall were still as I remembered it. I
also went into the other rooms, including room I slept in and where the fire was where we used to keep warm
and it was quite overwhelming.[5]
Current use
Today the house is a private residence.

Joe Massot
Joe Massot
Joe Massot (1933 April 4, 2002) was a writer and director who was most notable for the film Wonderwall (1968)
which featured George Harrison's first soundtrack, and the Led Zeppelin concert film The Song Remains The Same
(1976). The latter was not finished by Massot, being completed by Peter Clifton after the producer was unhappy with
progress and removed Massot from the project. Massot's only other concert film was the 1980 ska film Dance Craze.
Other films Massot directed include Space Riders and Reflections on Love (1966), which was nominated as the best
short film at the Cannes Film Festival. He is given writing credit on Space Riders, co-writing credit with the Firesign
Theatre on Zachariah, and the George Lazenby film Universal Soldier.

Biography [2] at Argopdia
Mike Millard
Mike Millard, nicknamed "Mike The Mike" was an avid concert taper in the 1970s and 1980s, recording mostly Led
Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones concerts in California, especially at the Los Angeles Forum.[1] He
taped virtually every show at the Forum from 1974 to 1980. Many of his recordings found their way into the hands
of bootleggers who sold Millard's work to fans.
Starting with a basic mono recorder in 1974, Millard upgraded to a Nakamichi stereo recorder with AKG Acoustics
microphones for the 1975 Led Zeppelin shows in the area. He often used a wheelchair to conceal his equipment,
pretending to be disabled.[2] Unlike most 1970s audience bootlegs, Millard's recordings are noted for their great
sound quality, and are to this day considered some of the finest audio bootlegs available.
Millard's recording of the Led Zeppelin concert on June 21, 1977 at the Forum (allegedly taped from row number
six) was released under the title Listen To This Eddie, and remains one of the best-known Led Zeppelin bootlegs. His
recording of the opening number from the concert, "The Song Remains The Same", was included in the promos
menu of the Led Zeppelin DVD. Millard recorded all of the Rolling Stones 1975 shows at the LA Forum, and his
recording of the Sunday, June 13, 1975 show (titled 'LA Friday') has become one of the most widely spread
recordings of a Rolling Stones concert.
Millard was never behind the sale of bootlegs and was openly against the illegal sale of his recordings - like many
audience tapers today. He was notorious for "marking" copies of his tapes so that if one of his recordings turned up
for sale on LP or CD, he would be able to tell which person he had traded it to. He kept a very detailed logbook of
his marked recordings and who they were distributed to. "Unmarked" copies of Mike's recordings are very scarce.
Recently, several unmarked 1st generation copies of his Led Zeppelin recordings surfaced in trading circles, a truly
historic moment for collectors around the world.
Millard allegedly suffered from severe depression, and committed suicide in 1990.[3]

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, both formerly of English hard rock band Led Zeppelin, recorded and toured in the
mid-1990s under the title Page and Plant. The pair re-united in 1994 and, after recording a highly successful first
album, they embarked on a world tour. They then recorded a second album, followed by another world tour, before
disbanding at the end of 1998. They later briefly reunited in 2001.
History
The initial plans for a reunion were made in 1993, with discussions between the two of collaborating emerging from
casual small talk and then an invitation to perform on MTV Unplugged. Music producer Bill Curbishley, who had
been managing Plant since the 1980s and who assumed management of Page in 1994, was integral in the reuniting of
Page and Plant. Despite failed attempts by others to reunite the pair, Curbishley was able to persuade the previously
reluctant Plant into working with Page again.[1] In an interview he gave in 2004, Page recounted the background:
I was going to play in Japan with David, the only time we played live, and I had a call from Robert's
management to pop in and see Robert in Boston on the way to LA to rehearse. Robert said, "I've been
approached by MTV to do an Unplugged and I'd really like to do it with you", so I said OK. It gave us a
chance to revisit some numbers and use that same picture with a very, very different frame.[2]
Plant's recollection of the reunion was as follows:
Page and Plant

By that time I didn't feel like I was even a rock singer anymore ... Then I was approached by MTV to do an
Unplugged session. But I knew that I couldn't be seen to be holding the flag for the Zeppelin legacy on TV.
Then mysteriously Jimmy turned up at a gig I was playing in Boston and it was like those difficult last days of
Led Zep had vanished. We had this understanding again without doing or saying anything. We talked about
the MTV thing and decided to see where we could take it.[3]
Led Zeppelin's main songwriters reformed on April 17, 1994 as a part of the Alexis Korner Memorial Concert at
Buxton, England. On August 25 and August 26, they taped performances in London, Wales, and Morocco with
Egyptian and Moroccan orchestration of several Led Zeppelin tunes along with four new songs. The performances
aired on October 12, and were so successful commercially and artistically that the two coordinated a tour which
kicked off in February 1995. The Unplugged performance was released as an album in November 1994 as No
Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded.
Their tour took them across the world with a lineup including Charlie Jones playing bass and percussion, Michael
Lee on drums, Porl Thompson performing guitar and banjo, Najma Akhtar providing backup vocals, Jim Sutherland
on mandolin and bodhrn, Nigel Eaton hurdy gurdy, and Ed Shearmur playing Hammond organ with orchestral
arrangements. Page:
It was heroic to take something like that around the world, because it was using two orchestras: one Western,
one Arab orchestra, with a hurdy-gurdy. It was great going around the world to turn people on to sounds they
hadn't heard. It wasn't an easy thing to do, but it was worth it.[2]
Afterwards, the two artists entered the studio with engineer Steve Albini to record Walking into Clarksdale, an
album composed of entirely new material. The album was not as commercially successful as Unledded had been, and
after a supporting tour the Page/Plant reunion slowly dissolved, with both members going on to perform with other
side projects. As Page explained:
There could have been a follow-up [to Walking into Clarksdale]. I certainly had about a dozen numbers
written for a third album. Robert heard them and said that some of them were really good, but he just wanted
to go in another direction. That's fair enough.[4]
In an interview he gave to Uncut magazine in 2005 Plant recounted:
We had some good songs [on Walking into Clarksdale], but I wasn't sure about the production. I felt kind of
marooned. We were still surrounded by the protective shield of who we were, and it meant we were playing
big arenas around the world. And I realised once again there had to be another way... I knew I had to get back
to playing clubs and remember what pulse was all about. To say goodbye to those large arenas that I played
with Jimmy was a very purposeful move.[3]
They reunited once more in July 2001 for the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Shark episode
The Shark episode or Mudshark incident was an alleged event which took place at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle,
Washington, on 28 July 1969, involving Richard Cole, a road manager for the English rock band Led Zeppelin, and
members of the American psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge. The bands were in Seattle for their appearance at
the Seattle Pop Festival at Gold Creek Park on 27 July 1969,[1] and were staying at the Edgewater Inn. This hotel,
now known as the Edgewater Hotel, is located directly on Puget Sound, and at the time allowed guests to fish
directly from their room windows.[2]
The Shark episode is alleged to have involved some type
of sexual act with a fish. However, there are many
variations on the story, all involving one or some of the
band members, as well as variations of the type of fish
(often claimed to be a shark or mudshark), and the nature
of the acts performed.
Rock journalist Stephen Davis, in his Led Zeppelin
biography Hammer of the Gods, provided the following
account of the event:
One girl, a pretty young groupie with red hair, was
disrobed and tied to the bed. According to the
legend of the Shark Episode, Led Zeppelin then
proceeded to stuff pieces of shark into her vagina
and rectum.[3]
The Edgewater Hotel on Elliott Bay. Guests were once allowed to

fish from the windows.
Davis notes that Led Zeppelin's road manager Richard Cole, disputed this version, and quotes him as saying:
It wasn't Bonzo, it was me. It wasn't shark parts anyway: It was the nose that got put in. We caught a lot of big
sharks, at least two dozen, stuck coat hangers through the gills and left 'em in the closet . . . But the true shark
story was that it wasn't even a shark. It was a red snapper and the chick happened to be a fucking redheaded
broad with a ginger pussy. And that is the truth. Bonzo was in the room, but I did it. Mark Stein [of Vanilla
Fudge] filmed the whole thing. And she loved it. It was like, "You'd like a bit of fucking, eh? Let's see how
your red snapper likes this red snapper!" That was it. It was the nose of the fish, and that girl must have cum
20 times. But it was nothing malicious or harmful, no way! No one was ever hurt.
Cole elaborates on this version in his own book, Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored. He explains that:
Word about the escapade spread quickly. Rumors circulated that the girl had been raped...that she had been
crying hysterically...that she had pleaded for me to stop...that she had struggled to escape...that a shark had
been used to penetrate her. None of the stories was true.[4]
Apart from the comment from Cole, there has never been any definitive proof this incident actually happened. Many
of the purported details of the event are contradictory. No photographs or films have appeared, nor corroborative
witness statements. Stein has since claimed he gave the Super 8 tapes to Vanilla Fudge road manager Bruce Wayne
and doesn't know what happened to them.[5]
A later visit in 1973 resulted in Led Zeppelin being banned from the Edgewater Hotel. The band and their entourage
caught some 30 mudsharks and left them under beds, in closets, elevators, hallways, bathtubs and all over their
rooms. They threw beds, TVs, mattresses, lamps, drapes, china and glassware into Elliott Bay.[6]
On the Frank Zappa / Mothers of Invention album Fillmore East - June 1971, the above described events form the
storyline of the song "Mud Shark."

Library CenterOCLC Number 25547803Stairway To Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored is a book written by
Richard Cole who was the tour manager for English rock musicrock band Led Zeppelin, from their first US tour in
1968Led Zeppelin's first manager for the Scandinavian and UK club tour in 1968 was Jerry Ritz to 1979, when he
was replaced by Phil Carlo. The book was co-written with Richard Trubo, a syndicated columnistsyndicated
journalist, and was first published in August 1992.SynopsisThe beginning of the book describes Cole's background,
and that of every member of the band. He also briefly describes the atmosphere of 1960s London. He claims that he
always wanted to be in the music business, and that at one point he began to play the drums but did not pursue this
path. He recounts his experience as tour manager for The Who and his venture into other aspects of the 1960s
London scene, including the Mod (subculture)mod subculture. The book documents Cole's personal experiences as
tour manager for one of the biggest bands of all time. It also shows how the constant pressure of touring and
recording was beginning to take a toll on the band's members, even as early as 1969. Cole reveals that he developed
close and personal friendships with each of the band members, and recounts the devastating impact that the death of
John Bonham had on him. He also discusses the substance abuse problems which he developed in the 1970s, and
which ultimately led to him being fired by Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant (music manager)Peter Grant, after
the Knebworth Festival 1979Knebworth Festival in 1979. The book also describes his life immediately after Led
Zeppelin's downfall. At the time of their collapse he was trying to shed his heroin addiction in Italy when he was
falsely accused of terrorism for involvement in the Bologna massacre1980 Bologna railway station bombing. Whilst
imprisoned he underwent forced detox from heroin. Sleepless nights, constant sweat, diarrhea, and pain were some
things he experienced while he was in the custody of the Italian police. When released, Cole was no longer addicted
to heroin but he had no money as he had spent it all on drugs prior to his incarceration, and he could no longer rely
on a steady income from an involvement with Led Zeppelin. He said that for the first time since before he became a
tour manager he had to work on the scaffolds. Criticism Many reviewers took note of the sensationalist and sordid
'tell-all' style of Cole's account. A review Publishers Weekly stated:Alcohol, cocaine and heroin abuse, shameless
groupies and perverse pranks figure largely in the saga. Cole boasts of his and the band's phenomenal appetites for
liquor, drugs and sex while denouncing those who say Led Zeppelin harmed the international legions of teenage girls
who routinely sought rock-star notches in their bedposts. Review in Publisher's Weekly, reproduced at
Amazon.comHowever, despite the fact that he was also credited with "celebrat[ing] the band's innumerable musical
accomplishments", Review in Library Journal, reproduced at Amazon.com Cole's book was criticised by members of
Led Zeppelin, who accused him of fabrication and dishonesty. Guitarist Jimmy Page once commented: There's a
book written by our former road manager, Richard Cole that has made me completely ill. I'm so mad about it that I
can't even bring myself to read the whole thing. The two bits that I have read are so ridiculously false, that I'm sure if
I read the rest I'd be able to sue Cole and the publishers. But it would be so painful to read that it wouldn't be worth
it. Interview with Jimmy Page, Guitar World magazine, 1993Bass player John Paul Jones (musician)John Paul Jones
has expressed similar views about Cole's reliability, stating in a magazine interview that Cole's accounts are "a
551

mish-mash of several stories put together, usually with the wrong endings and making us look miserable bastards
rather than the funsters we were."Snow, Mat, The Secret Life of a Superstar, Mojo magazine, December 2007.
Jones was so incensed at the depiction of John Bonham in Cole's book that he decided never to speak to him again.
In another interview, Jones claimed when he asked Cole about why he'd exaggerated the group's behaviour for the
book, Cole explained that "he'd been a drug addict who needed the money". Blabbermouth.net, December

An image of The Starship in 1973, taken from the closing credits of the film The Song Remains the Same (film)The
Song Remains the SameThe Starship was a former United Airlines Boeing 707#VariantsBoeing 720 passenger jet,
bought by Bobby Sherman and his manager, Ward Sylvester, and leased to touring musical artists in the
mid-1970s.HistoryThe Starship, N7201U (S/N: 17907), was the first Boeing 720 built. It was delivered to United
Airlines on October 1960 and then purchased in 1973 by Contemporary Entertainment. "The Starship" at Led

Led Zeppelin concert tour chronologyconcert tours. During the Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19721972 tour
and in the early part of the Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19731973 tour the band had hired a small private
Falcon Jet to transport its members from city to city, but these aircraft are comparatively light and susceptible to
turbulence.Lewis, Dave and Pallett, Simon (1997) Led Zeppelin: The Concert File, London: Omnibus Press. ISBN
0-7119-5307-4, p.92 After performing a show at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco in 1973 Led Zeppelin encountered
bad turbulence on a flight back to Los Angeles. As a result, the band's manager Peter Grant (music manager)Peter
Grant resolved to hire The Starship for the remainder of the tour, at a cost of $30,000.The aircraft was the same type
as used by commercial airlines, but its owners allowed it to be specifically modified to suit the whim of their clients.
Sherman and Sylvester invested $200,000 to reduce its seating capacity to forty and to install into the main cabin a
bar, seats and tables, revolving arm chairs, a 30-foot-long (9.1m) couch (running along the right hand side of the
plane, opposite the bar), a television set and a video cassette player, complete with a well-stocked video library. An
electronic organ was built into the bar, and at the rear of the craft were two back rooms, one with a low couch and
pillows on the floor, and the other, a bedroom, complete with a white fur bedspread and shower room. The exterior
of the plane was re-sprayed with Led Zeppelin emblazoned down the side of the fuselage. Flying on The Starship,
Led Zeppelin were no longer required to change hotels so often. They could base themselves in large cities such as
Chicago, New York, Dallas and Los Angeles and travel to and from concerts within flying distance. After each
show, the band members would be transported direct by limousine from the concert venue to the airport, as depicted
in the Led Zeppelin concert film The Song Remains the Same (film)The Song Remains the Same.The Starship was
used throughout Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19751975 US concert tour, this time featuring a
different red-and-blue paint scheme with white stars similar to the United States flag, and with a smaller "Led
Zeppelin" logo on the fuselage. According to Peter Grant, at one point during this tour Led Zeppelin drummer John

"Stairway to Heaven" on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD.English rock band Deep Purple hired The Starship for
their 1974 U.S. Tour. They can be seen arriving in the jet with the band's name emblazoned on the jet in the DVD for
the infamous California Jam rock festival, entitled Live in California 74. In an interview with Circus
(magazine)Circus magazine in 1974, Deep Purple's Jon Lord explained: "It's a 707 put together by a firm in L.A. that
Frank SinatraSinatra, Bob DylanDylan and The Band just used and Elton John uses. It has a lounge, a bedroom, a
shower, a fire place and a study. It's supposed to look as little as a plane as possible." The Rolling Stones, The
Allman Brothers and Alice Cooper were Starship clients. Peter Frampton was the last to charter The Starship in
1976. As early as Alice Cooper's 1974 tour the aircraft was beginning to show signs of engine difficulties, and for
Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin North American Tour 19771977 US Tour, it was permanently grounded at Long Beach
Municipal AirportLong Beach Airport. The band was forced to find a comparable alternative, and tour manager
Richard Cole eventually chartered Caesar's Chariot, a 45-seat Boeing 707 owned by the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las
Vegas, NevadaLas Vegas.The Starship went through several ownership changes from 1977 through 1979 until it
went into storage at Luton Airport. It was dismantled for parts starting in July 1982.References in popular culture In

Swan Song Records was a record label launched by the English rock band Led Zeppelin on May 10, 1974. It was
overseen by Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant and was a vehicle for the band to promote its own products as well
as sign artists who found it difficult to win contracts with other major labels. The decision to launch the label came
after Led Zeppelin's five year contract with Atlantic Records expired at the end of 1973. Atlantic Records ultimately
distributed the label's product.
Artists that released material on the Swan Song label during its existence included Led Zeppelin itself (including
later solo releases by band members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant); Bad Company; The Pretty Things; Dave
Edmunds; Mirabai; Maggie Bell (and the short-lived band she fronted, Midnight Flyer); Detective; and Sad Caf. In
addition to these artists, two other noted recording acts (though not signed to the label) were credited artists on Swan
Song singles, both of which were UK hits in 1981: B. A. Robertson duetted on with Maggie Bell on the single "Hold
On", and The Stray Cats backed Dave Edmunds on his 1981 single "The Race Is On".
Swan Song ceased active operations in 1983, and now exists only to reissue previously released material.
History
In January 1974 Led Zeppelin negotiated the agreement with Atlantic Records to set up Swan Song Records.[1] The
label was launched with parties in New York and Los Angeles.[1] A lavish media party was also held at Chislehurst
Caves in Kent, England on October 31, 1974, to celebrate the label's first UK release by the Pretty Things, Silk
Torpedo (the first US release for Swan Song was the self-titled debut album from Bad Company in June 1974). The
company logo was based on Evening also called The Fall of Day (1869) by painter William Rimmer, featuring a
picture of the Greek god Apollo.[2]
By March 1975, Swan Song had four albums (Bad Company, Silk Torpedo, Physical Graffiti, and Suicide Sal) in the
Billboard Top 200 chart. The recording label also partly funded film projects such as Monty Python and the Holy
Grail in 1975. In an interview he gave in January of that year, Page offered his perspective on the label:
We've got some good things lined up. I think the Pretty Things LP is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. We're
[record] executives and all that crap, but I'll tell you one thing the label was never right from the top Led
Zeppelin records. It's designed to bring in other groups and promote acts that have had raw deals in the past.
It's a vehicle for them and not for us to just make a few extra pennies over the top.[3]
Two years later, he elaborated on Led Zeppelin's intention to found the label:
We'd been thinking about it for a while and we knew if we formed a label there wouldn't be the kind of fuss
and bother we'd been going through over album covers and things like that. Having gone through, ourselves,
Swan Song Records

what appeared to be an interference, or at least an aggravation, on the artistic side by record companies, we
wanted to form a label where the artists would be able to fulfill themselves without all of that hassle.
Consequently the people we were looking for the label would be people who knew where they were going
themselves. We didn't really want to get bogged down in having to develop artists, we wanted people who
were together enough to handle that type of thing themselves, like the Pretty Things. Even though they didn't
happen, the records they made were very, very good.[4]
Artists who signed with the label but did not produce any releases included Metropolis (which featured members
from the Pretty Things), The Message (which featured future Bon Jovi members Alec John Such and Richie
Sambora), and Itchy Brother (which featured future members of The Kentucky Headhunters.) Artists that Swan Song
Records wanted to sign but who bowed out to other labels were Roy Harper and blues' guitarist Bobby Parker. When
Swan Song's offices were cleared out in 1983, early demos from Iron Maiden, Heart and Paul Young's band Q-Tips
were among those found, unplayed and stored, on the shelves.[5]
Swan Song ceased operations in October 1983 due to the break-up of Led Zeppelin and Peter Grants health
problems. A rescue attempt to save the label by Atlantic Records executive Phil Carson proved fruitless. Robert
Plant started his own label, Es Paranza Records, in the wake of the closure of Swan Song, while Jimmy Page and
John Paul Jones returned to Atlantic Records. Bad Company moved over to Atco Records (another Atlantic
subsidiary) when they resumed in the late 1980s. Today, the label is strictly used for reissues of all the albums that
were released by the label when it was active.

Beginning in the 1980s, the iconic nature of many Led Zeppelin riffs made them a popular target for sampling,
initially unauthorised, but later sanctioned by the surviving band members, to mixed reactions from fans. Hip-hop
group the Beastie Boys sampled two Led Zeppelin songs for their Licensed to Ill album; they used Bonham's drum
introduction from "When the Levee Breaks" (which was also used by Mike Oldfield and Erasure) for the song
"Rhymin' and Stealin'", and parts of "The Ocean" for "She's Crafty".
For the 1998 movie Godzilla, guitarist Jimmy Page collaborated with Puff Daddy, reworking the famous riff from
"Kashmir" in the song "Come With Me"Page also has a brief vocal part in this song.

Zacron
Zacron
Zacron is best known for designing the iconic Led Zeppelin III album cover[1] for his friend Jimmy Page in the
1970s. However, this album cover, most recently polled amongst the world's top four, is merely a small component
of a vast and varied body of work by Zacron spanning 5 decades. The study his work reveals that Zacron is
multi-sided and multi-talented. The artist has a robust ethos of independence and bravery, a lifelong quest for
knowledge.
The success of the album cover stems from Zacron's vigorous creative spirit and creative process. It is absolutely apt
that Zacron's work has a close association to rock and roll. He is fearless in his approach and driven to communicate
his assertions. His art unifies human experience, making a splintered world whole.
Zacron is an advocate and activist, promoting the transformative qualities of art which have a capacity to unify
human experience. His work tells stories about human experience often through symbols. His compositions often
embody the wonderful quality of looking both ancient and futuristic simultaneously. He writes for the BBC,
'Ultimately, art impels us towards a whole-world consciousness. By extending beyond the self, art has the capacity to
be a spiritual diviner.'
Rather unique to his generation, Zacron has whole-heartedly embraced new media regarding it as an exceptional tool
not to be ignored. His creativity and curiosity has taken him into many territories and he is truly multi-disciplinary.
He has made prolific forays into sculpture, philosophy, cosmology, critical writing, campaigning for freedom of
expression and entrepreneurialism.
