London, July 1968
The band the Yardbirds called it quits, but still was committed to play some shows in Scandinavia, and lead guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist Chris Dreja decided to play them anyway. But they, um….needed a new lead singer and a new drummer. Page’s number one choice for singer was Terry Reid, but he turned down the offer, instead suggesting Robert Plant, who had been the singer for Band of Joy. Band of Joy had broken up a couple months prior. Plant accepted the position and recommended John Bonham, who had been the drummer for Band of Joy, to join the band as well. Page was like “heck yeah,” but then Dreja dropped out of the band to become a photographer so they now needed a new bassist. Fortunately for Page, his old friend John Richard Baldwin, better known by his stage name of John Paul Jones, wanted in and Page gladly welcomed him. He also could play keys, so that was a bonus.
The four played together for the first time in a basement below a record store on Gerrard Street in London. For the Scandinavian tour, they decided to change the band name to the…wait for it…the New Yardbirds. They played their first show at Gladsaxe Teen Clubs in Gladsaxe, Denmark, on September 7, 1968. The chemistry between the four was pretty amazing early on. So good that just a few weeks later they were already recording their first album at Olympic Studios based on some new songs they had been playing live. Apparently they recorded it in less than 30 hours, and Page paid for the entire session out of his own pocket. However, once Dreja found out, he issued a cease and desist letter, saying Page wasn’t allowed to use the New Yardbirds moniker for the album, only for the tour. That’s ok, because Page had a backup name in mind for the band. Lead Balloon. Eh? Eh? Ok, after further discussion with the band and their new manager, Peter Grant, that name became arguably one of the best band names ever: Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin played their first gig with the new name at the University of Surrey in Battersea on October 25.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Zep is how well the band got along, even after fame, fortune and sex and drugs seeped into things. Sure, they had their moments but it never reached the John-Paul-George stage. Bonham's death broke the band up, not animosity towards each other.

I am guessing that Stu Sutcliffe is the second Beatle you are referring to and one has to wonder whether John's close friendship with him would have allowed him to remain in the band despite his limited bass playing talents (he was quite intelligent, though, and would likely have picked it up over time). His love for photographer Astrid, though, was already leading him away from the band.

Jimmy Page was an extremely organic player, he rarely ever played the same song the same way, especially the solo parts. This is the magic of Page, he had the ability to go off script yet not lose control of the song he's playing. Such a gifted player who is easily one of the top rock guitarists, writers & producer of all time.

I kind of take pride in that I'm kind of an old school guitarist like that myself. A solo generally ought to be improvised. There are certain phrases, scales and feelings that you can put into your solo for the same song but I can't imagine doing it the same way every time. You're basically a cover band of yourself. A live performance is going to be better when it's organic imo. I don't even like the idea of click tracks. If you're really feeling it and want to extend the song, you should be able to communicate that non verbally and do it. There's an exchange between audience and performer and the best live acts are quite aware of the mood of their audience. I remember when Trey Anastasio of Phish was talking about the first glow stick fight. Throwing glow sticks has become kind of a tradition at Phish shows but the first time it happened by accident. It just happened and all of the sudden hundreds of glow sticks were flying through the air and the band reacted immediately and went into this fast paced jam. I thought that was cool.

Yeah it pretty incredible creatively and musically to improvise like that esp LIVE. Sure he might have been sloppy or better yet expressive in his playing but that is what made him him. Similar to Hendrix for me. Both of them were expressive and risk takers, playing from emotion and inspiration. Sure generally page was a more well rounded musician, songwriter producer, band leader etc., but Hendrix was from another planet and page would agree

@danieltruzinski8929 2 жыл бұрын
I saw them in 1977 and have seen 150 concerts since then and nobody has ever touched them. A three hour show that was by far the loudest yet crystal clear with no distortion. Just waiting the extra half hour past scheduled start time, you could feel the electricity in the audience as every one knew this was "THE" concert and it did not disappoint. Jimmy hit the opening note for the Song Remains the Same and just held it for a couple of extra seconds and then the Forum in Inglewood CA exploded. They had speakers in the rafters behind everyone! Surround sound! I paid $9.75 for floor seats halfway back from the stage but never used the seat! I was soo looking forward to seeing them again in 1980 before the tragic death of John Bonham ended the band. My favorite band without a doubt to the point of even the license plate on my 1977 Camaro says LED ZPLN. Their best album was Physical Graffiti with all the diverse guitar sounds and fantastic songs, but my favorite song is Achilles Last Stand from the follow up album Presence. I think that is their true masterpiece. The guitar overlays along with the showcasing of John Bonhams pure unmatched drumming power hypnotize you into a ten minute adventure that you are sad to see end. If you listen to Iron Maiden, you can see a lot of similarities in how their songs sort of have a "gallop" pacing to them like the pacing in Achilles. Just another example of the vast influence they have had on the hard rock industry...

Without a doubt Sir a perfect comment! Everything you said is 110% true. My favourite song is Achilles last stand too, it is a masterpiece! Being a Historian lol 😝 it does make me a little biased towards Achilles last stand & No Quarter lol & of course as a Bass player (you know where I’m going! lol) “Ramble On” regardless of one preferred genre. (expertise) Once I could play Ramble on “fast” as a beginner, from beginning to end? It was like the Sea🌊 parted! (I know it’s not over complicated but that is what makes it one of the best Bass tones ever in the Rock history, period, imho. ( No, it wasn’t Jaco Pastorius (who’s now my IDOL of course) wasn’t the Dude that made me want to pick up a Bass guitar (unless your parents were Jazz freaks? Who likes Jazz at the age of 14 in 1986 graduates high school in 90? Now I love it, but I'm 49 f...ing yrs old, at 14…? I HATED Jazz! JPJ… &..as much as I love Jaco… JPJ is still my favourite MUSICIAN of all time! The man can do it all! I was born in 72 so it was just hair, a HAIR before my time! Plus when I was 14 I was more a Sabbath fan than a Zeppelin fan, but the older I became Zeppelin took over (I'm still a hardcore Sabbath fan) but Zeppelin is my favourite. I disagree with people that say Led Zeppelin was the first “Heavy Metal” band? Huh 🤔 No Sabbath was the first “Heavy Metal” band with a Capitals H & M! Zeppelin was the greatest Rock band, ever! Ps & yes a love the Beatles too so Beatles defenders back off! I love the Beatles but Led Zeppelin touched me & my generation more, that’s all, nothing more. Pps I hate when people say “oh the Beatles were the best” “no it’s Zeppelin” “no I love Metal, it’s Sabbath” WHY can’t we simply say “ALL 3 bands were AWESOME?!?!”

Can’t pick a favorite album… wayyy too hard. But I love all the acoustic stuff they did! Songs like Going to California, in my opinion, played a major role in elevating them to “rock god” status.. anybody can rock n roll (maybe not as good as Zep), but those beautiful arrangements displayed just how knowledgeable every member was in their respective role. Being born in 91, I never got a chance to enjoy Zeppelin live and in person, so, to me, it’s almost as if they are some type of musical folklore/legend. They have been a massive influence on my own musical endeavors, and are truly the most talented foursome in music history! I just wish I had the chance to see them for real! RIP Bonzo.

I had recorded Led Zeppelin l on cassette at a friends house in winter -79 and went out for a walk at the beautiful park Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden. It was a crisp, cold winters day and the whole album just caught me so deeply, listening to it on my Sony Walkman. Still to this day I sense each song at each specific spot in the park when I take a walk there 43 years later.

As far as I know, there was just one instance where the Beatles stole something and that was in the song Come Together where John Lennon uses the phrase “here come ol’ flat top, he’s grooving up slowly”. That line was from a Chuck Berry song, for which John got sued. Another lift was by Paul McCartney when he played the same bass notes for I saw her standing there from an old berry song too. Other than that tho there was no stealing. As much as I love Led Zeppelin tho, they did get sued for quite a few songs, mostly their earlier work. It’s widely known tho, it’s not news.

I thought WOW every instrument and the vocal is incredible. We'd have the conversation many Zeppelin fans have had about listening to the songs repeatedly and concentrating on a different instrument with each listen and being equally blown away by each band member. I understand that music is a matter of taste, but if Zeppelin don't move you , I really don't want to talk about music with you

As a 16 year old, was fortunate to see LZ, along with Jethro Tull, on their first American Tour in Feb. 69’ at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago. $5 and sitting on the floor, about 15 rows back from the stage. It was like seeing them at the high school gym. Had the album in hand (those first few chords/drum licks of Good Times were a real ear opener back then) and was really excited to see them. Had never heard of Tull and I loved their set and that first version of the band. So long ago but hanging in the memory banks nicely.
