    JCM, I have watched every one of your episodes. They continue to impress and get better and better each time. They are perhaps the best and most complete and comprehensive histories of any band. Simply phenomenal. I feel that I know the Led Zeppelin story very well thanks to you. Perhaps it will become a college course some day! Incredible work. You are an amazingly gifted person yourself.

    Many thanks JCM for your meticulous work. Having grown up with this band, you are certainly educating me! I encourage you to develop your music. Your song Gerrard street dreams is invoking the spirit of the 70's which brought forth such a bounty of music. It is a great piece of music in the spirit of Zeppelin and I hope to hear more from you.

    Beautifully done. It shows how excited the new members were for joining The Yardbirds. This documentary also fills in that transition period between old and new. It was an absolutely incredible transformation and the crucible of touring Scandinavia brought the members of the New Yardbirds together in a way that’s almost magical. Because after that tour, they were ready to make history and record their first album, Led Zeppelin. Within a year they were the biggest rock band in the world. Unbelievable!

    • @JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
      @JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories  13 годин тому

      @ I was really sad when The Yardbirds broke up. It didn’t make sense that their incredible stream of music had ended. Yet as soon as The New Yardbirds with Jimmy Page was announced, that news transmuted into an eagerness to hear their rumoured upcoming album. When I went to the record store looking for it in January, 1969, I was looking for The Yardbirds. Instead, almost magically I was guided to discover Led Zeppelin looking through the new releases. The front cover was shocking. The back cover showed Jimmy Page but with new people. Bass player Chris Dreja took the iconic photo. So THIS was the New Yardbirds. But who or what was Led Zeppelin? I was probably one of the first people, if not the first to buy a copy of this unknown band. As soon as I took it home and listened to it, I thought, “Holy shit, The Yardbirds have finally realized the potential I always knew they had.” It was the same Energy that brought us together, even though there were now different members - again. I let my friends listen to my album - which then instantly got “borrowed”, and subsequently made its rounds to all the parties. In fact, I never saw that LP for the next six months, and I ended up buying another copy just so I could hear the mind altering power of the music. By the end of that year, with the release of Led Zeppelin II, they had gone from complete unknowns to the biggest group in the world.

    Fantastic research again. From a Led Zeppelin history perspective, this is unchartered territory. Thank you. Incidentally, my old office workplace in Newcastle, England, was just over the road from the Mayfair Ballroom where the band (as I'm pretty sure you'll know) played their first ever UK show on October 4, 1968, billed as 'The Yardbirds'. Sadly, the Mayfair was demolished in 1999, having hosted some of the biggest acts in rock history over the years. A plaque at the site commemorates the classic venue and the first UK 'Zeppelin' show.

    I'm pleased to be able to watch this episode just a few hours after you've posted it... I usually take many days. It's gratifying to learn so much about my beloved Zeppelin from someone like you, who equally loves Zepp. Interesting, true facts, without gossip and the usual nonsense that many use as clickbait. I'll tell you something cool, I found a book written by Eiji Ota and published by Shinko Music Japan, where he talks about the more than fifty instruments and equipment that JPJ used during his years in the band and the enormous influence this had on Zepp's sound. It's not a biography, and I believe it wasn't published outside Japan, which is a shame, I think Jones fans would enjoy the book. Thank you for your tireless research and production of these amazing videos, Mr. Jose. See you soon! 👍👋

Always a pleasure to have YOU check out these adventures, you are a true Zepp fan :)

    Awesome information in this video! In the summer of 2005 I took that bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö. I stayed in Gothenburg, then went to Stockholm. Sadly, I was a year late, Polar Studios closed in 2004. But I took a long walk from my hostel to see the building. I let my imagination run wild. Amazing to also think about how many great acts played in Sweden in the late 60’s. I would of loved to seen Hendrix jam with Hansson & Karlsson, I’m a big Bo Hansson fan. I guess Hendrix liked Bo Hansson so much that he wanted him to tour and join the Experience. Crazy huh? I’m looking forward to episode 3! Keep the train a rollin’!

Walking there was the best choice, would have done the same, you were in the middle of rock history! OMG i didn't know about Bo Hansson, i will check out his discography. They jammed in late 67 at Klub Filips which is close to the INSIDE CLUB, i learned something today thanks to you!!

      @@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories yes, took the bridge, at Malmö took a train to Gothenburg, then after my stay there, took a train to Stockholm. It was only a couple of hours, not bad. Yes, the history was important to me. Yeah, definitely dive into Bo Hansson. My dad drove the importance of him early on to me. There’s a lot of mystique, magic, talent, reclusiveness (he didn’t like the fame of Hansson & Karlsson their albums were starting to be pressed in other countries, then Lord of the Rings got real popular, he didn’t like that), to Bo Hansson. Saw an interview with the bassist from Paatos (awesome Swedish modern Prog band from 2000), record collector, label, etc saying how he found a lost live tape of him. Released to vinyl last year. I think you’ll really enjoy his solo albums.

    I love watching your videos, I hope all your information in these episodes, doesn’t ruin my February 7th documovie. Though I love as much information as I can get about Led Zeppelin, I’ve learned so much from you & others about their music. I don’t buy into the shit stories, like the mud shark etc. were they angles I’m sure they weren’t, but I think a lot of that is exaggerated. We know how critics hated them, & Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the worst, so I take most of that with a grain of salt. Thank you for all you do.

Like you, i wanna see that movie and just smile, like that teenager who discovered them back in 2001. I avoid all the gossip stuff because i respect and admire the band so much. Their craft deserves to be celebrated, objectively yes, but from a place of appreciation as opposed to music critics usual stance of "i hate musicians and wish i could play an instrument".

    JCM - sorry but that's not definitive proof Bonzo used a Slingerland set to record the 1st album. It proves it was the first set used on the first American tour. Even if the set was brought from England to America, it's a damn good guess - but not proof.

    • @JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
      @JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories  13 годин тому +1

      The set was used in Scandinavia and what they did after was get into the studio. I would say it's more than a good guess, also remember his sound came from the way he played, even on a different kit, Bonzo's signature style is there. This theory has been backed up by a couple of Bonham scholars who are drummers themselves, so i trust them! You are free to think otherwise :)
