- From the moment Dave Lewis first heard "Whole Lotta Love," he embodied Led Zeppelin's spirit. In 1979, he launched the renowned Tight But Loose fanzine, igniting a prolific career as an author of many Led Zeppelin books and magazine articles. Having experienced over 150 Zeppelin-related concerts, his passion for the band knows no bounds. Today, he remains an active figure on social media, enriching fans with insights, reviews, and updates on all things Led Zeppelin. Widely respected as a premier Zeppelin historian, he lives by the mantra: "Not just a band, a way of life."

I've met Dave twice in London so far. He is a very likeable and enthusiastic Led Zeppelin fan. He carries the Led Zeppelin torch further out into the world. Chapeau. Thank you Mark for your great work.
One of the biggest Zep fans in the World , right here 👋
Discovered them in the late 80's as a teenager and they changed my life from that moment on. Never looked back. From there I collected everything I could get my hands on. Bootleg cassettes bootleg vinyl, posters, magazine clippings, etc etc. I listened to them every single day for years and years. My room was filled with Zeppelin memorabilia. I loved and breathed everything about them. I was obsessed. They are in my heart, and to me they are the best Rock band that ever existed. I'm 50 years old now, and I still firmly believe that, some 35 years later.
I talk about them often on my Channel.
Jimmy Page was my first concert for the Outrider tour, 1988. Was lucky enough to see both Page and Plant tours, saw Plant 8 times solo, and saw and met John Paul Jones in 2000 during his Zooma tour
Anyone who has been a fan of the Blimp since the seventies knows Dave Lewis. He is the 'go-to guy' for all things Zeppelin. Synonymous to the Zeppelin name, a fan and a real historian. Eye thank yew Mark and Dave~

Dave is our lighthouse in the vast sea of Led Zeppelin fandom.
Dave, big fan but you need your own show.
Mark and Dave, brilliant! Thx guys
Dave rocks! I have all his publications. I bought my first Dave Lewis book back in 1984 “The Final Acclaim” and have followed him ever since. Such a great guy.
Keep up the awesome episodes,Mark!
Magnificent!!
Great Guest LZ the best EVER. Led Zeppelin was Jimmy's baby. Shame Plant was not in it after the O2 Hopes were high but then .... Dave has lived a great Zep life . WOW
Splendid interview with Mr Zeppelin himself - great stuff Thanks 🙏🏻
Dave Lewis is an icon. He probably knows more about the band than the band members do.
I used to read Tight but Loose a long time ago. Loved it!!
Getting to Dortmund was extremely difficult but exciting at the same time! Well worth it though! Thanks for the mention Dave my old mate!

Next on my bucket list is seeing Saving Grace . Dave and Mark its people like you that take a passion to the next level so people like me can keep up Again many thanks!
Love Dave Lewis' books particularly the Knebworth and 1980 tour Feathers In The Wind. They have so much detail and fantastic pics! Thanks for all you have done Dave for the Zep community all these years
And don't forget the 49th anniversary of the 5 earl's court shows is this coming Friday and again on Saturday the 25th and John Bonham's birthday would've been on the 31st
Absolutely. Dave Lewis is a legend. I have alot of his books starting with The Final Acclaim.
His Principle Of Moments band was the first time I saw him, I was 14.
That band was great.
Zeppelin got their own Universe and always in the present tense.
I still have the Howard Mylett book.
Legend and the loveliest guy supported by his equally lovely wife Janet.
Another phenomenal interview!!
