Led Zeppelin was a truly revolutionary band, and music was never the same after them. What struck me on hearing this video was that only 10 years separated early rock and LedZepII, compared to the 5 decades their music has been played..
In 1969 I hitchhiked back to Houston from LA with the first Led Zeppelin album and it was very popular when people were hearing it for the first time, which was everyone that I played it for.
One of those near misses of life from around 1970 was going into a tiny little bar on the outer edge of downtown Houston one night and finding out that Led Zeppelin or a couple of them had been in the bar the night before and had decided to get up on the little stage in the bar and play a little while drinking, I was a huge fan and really missed out on that, this wasn’t a nightclub or a large bar, it was just a cozy little hippie dive bar but back then music was closer to the people and stuff like that wasn’t unusual.
I grew up with the Beatles & the British invasion.
I was never a LZ fan although I loved & owned “LZ IV” - especially “Black Dog” named after a stray dog that wandered in & out of the studio during those sessions.
That said...
I really got into a British invasion band - The Yardbirds - and their revolutionary guitar sounds. Not surprising, the guitarists from that group were...
Eric Clapton
Jimmy Page
Jeff Beck (the best of that trio)
Ten Years Gone
