    I have never not clicked a link that said "Led Zeppelin." No matter how ridiculous.  "Former Led Zeppelin Roadie Remembers John Bonham's Favorite Cow" CLICK.

  • Pretty cool story regarding Jimmy Page I ran across on FB. A GUITAR CASE STORY After 47+ years, I can finally share the following story: In June, 1972 I went to see Led Zeppelin perform

"Becoming Led Zeppelin" is now on Netflix

"Becoming Led Zeppelin" is now on Netflix

Even if you’ve seen the vast majority of the footage before, it’s absolutely worth a watch IMO

Finished it last night and was disappointed it only goes through Led Zeppelin II. I guess that’s why it is called Becoming though. 

Yeah that was my one disappointment, mostly because it was so great that I wanted it to keep going…

Being Led Zeppelin is what we really want but that ain't happening...

They had to stop after II. Didn't need to covering all the heroin, underage girls, and mud sharks.

I hope it’s the start of a Zep trilogy.  First movie, then one covering their apex (3, 4, houses of the holy, physical graffiti), then one covering their last 3 albums, Bonham’s death and legacy.

Agreed.  No talk of arguably the greatest rock n roll song of all time.

"We Built This City" wasn't a Zep song.

had a hell of a winter and spring so did not have a chance to get this in imax

nice of netflix to spring for some quality content rather than their own made-up bullshit spacefiller

my rating is a tufnel-11

the workprint received a 10-minute ovation at venice '21

they need to bring the 3 of them together in a room while they are still alive

and yes, being lz, they have to do it

Huh. The early days are what I find fascinating. The British Blues scene was an incubator for so much amazing music. Led Zep, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Clapton, Jeff Beck, the Yardbirds, Van Morrison… they all started as young limeys obsessed with American blues, R&B, and rock ‘n roll. And they all matured in different directions to create a sizeable chunk of what many of us grew up with as “classic rock.” 

Plus, the first two albums are by far my favorites. They include the best examples of British Blues ever recorded, the perfect reinterpretation of blues standards with a harder, fuzzier edge to them. (John Mayall with Clapton and then Green is a close second.)

dude

 

I fucking love that song. Outside of LZ and LZII, it’s the best blues-inspired song they recorded.

But I’d lump it in with Bring it on Home (another favorite of mine) as a hybrid. The front half is heavy, reverb soaked blues, but the original parts are pure rock. 

The first two albums include some straight up blues arrangements, just with a harder edge. Lemon Song, You Shook Me, and How Many More Times are good examples. 

The use of a Led Zep favorite in ‘F1’s last scene, maybe it was in the middle, or might of opened it - I ain’t tellin’ ya - is fucking epic.

Your post reminded me of one the things about When The Levee Breaks harmonica that I love.  That’s just how big and raw it is, matching up to how big that beat is.  Much different than how typical blues harmonica is rendered.  Plant played it into a mic and through an amp and they recorded that so it had some saturation/overdrive to it.  It was also recorded a half step above and then taken down through tape manipulation to give it more of a deeper resonate timbre.  One of Zep/Page’s many clever production choices.

The Netflix doc is great, focusing as it does on the music. It’s fun. Those old guys seem so grand. 
 
There is a darker documentary to make, getting into the narcissistic bad behavior, the psychopathy of their manager and their complete and total neglect of IP law.

Polyphonic has a great series on this.








And, while not part of that specific series, I will post his John Bonham video too because it’s fucking awesome.

Gonna just put this right here…

 

That was sick. I heard Meters influence in there immediately, even before the Cissy Strut lick.

It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that the 02 concert was 18 years ago. 

I remember when that DVD showed up. Put it in the big screen surround system. Holy shit.

 

I wanna say I read somewhere that they got 3 million or so online ticket requests for that show.

Well, they're no Taylor Swift, so its understandable why there were so few requests.

Slouches for sure.

 

For fun I looked it up. Taylor Swift eras tour played 149 shows at 51 unique venues, mostly football stadiums. 10.1 million total seating capacity / tickets they were trying to sell.

 

Zeppelin played 1 show at 1 18,000 seat venue. And I was wrong, they got over 20 million ticket requests for the one show, a Guiness world record for a single show. Gotta believe there were bots for both, but likely significantly more prevalent for the Swift tour. Slouches indeed.

Bots were less likely in 2007.
