Robert Plant looks like he couldve been king of england in the 1500’s
Will McDaniel He was king of England, only he was it in the 1970s
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
HA!!
He looks like a blonde Charles ll
@@raspberrycrowns9494 Robert looks nothing like him.
Not One Single Comment about how talented they are, even back then the press was horrible.
I guess it's mildly comforting to know that the reporter's questions back then were just as stupid as they are nowadays.
'Hip' rock music journalists weren't much better. Showbiz and gossip sells media
I don’t understand why they would send journalists who have no clue about music.
Do any "journalists" actually know anything about the real world? Based on this stupid interview and the ignorant questions, nothings changed. They are egotistical, narcissistic, self-important, judgmental a-holes who believe they are the progenitors of truth. Pathetic. Music "journalists" aren't much different.
I'm convinced there's definitely a school where they teach dummy reporters to ask stupid questions.
I watch interviews like this and think "No wonder rock stars hate doing interviews."
See the Zep / Letterman interview. So painful. "How do you describe your music?
JPJ handled it well there. Such a dumb host Letterman is. :)
@@JohnSmith-hq6fl Yeah. He was pathetic. Uninformed. "How do you describe "Zeppelin" music? WTF.
Now Letterman has this big grey beard, thinking he is wise and cool.
Looks like an idiot.
'Hip' rock music journalists weren't much better. Showbiz and gossip sells media

I was surprised because I would have thought Letterman was a fan back in the day so there would have been no need for a dumb question like that.
They wore the same print as the couch hoping they'd be hidden and wouldn't have to answer ridiculous questions.
😂😂🤣
😎🙂🙃
HELP
I love how Jimmy said “what about Judy Garland?” She was not a rock star but died from drugs. But the stigma was all about the association between rock music and drugs. They couldn’t give him an answer for that.
Judy Garland commited suicide dude 🤦♂wrong person
@@trapmafia4716 actually, factually it was a drug overdose.
meanwhile, in 2023, Jimmy Page and Keith Richards are still wandering around
@@jaewok5G don’t forget Ozzy Osbourne… I don’t even know how that man is still alive lol
yep, the press silence speaks volumes.
The fact this interview was filmed the same day Jimi Hendrix died is incredible
Oh wow - I did not know that. And Jimi died in London didn't he?
Yeah, he did
@Michael Pordan St Mary Abbots Hospital he was pronounced dead..
"What's the difference between you and The Beatles, as far as your music is concerned?"
Jesus. If any of those reporters had listened to a Zep album they wouldn't have to ask.
Mother Millennial Zep knocked the BEATLES out of 1st place on the charts!!! We were more than ready for a new style of music! No comparison between ZEP and the BEATLES!!! It's like comparing apples to oranges!
Dislike of authority and ...so called progress of humanity..love the Beatles..born Liverpo..U.K.
Zeppelin were my youth...no beatles comparison...BOTH.
Mother Millennial take it in the context of the times. rock and roll was young then. to somebody that didn't listen to a lot of it it probably all did sound similar
Of course not! The Beatles are the best. They sold more records than Zep. There's one thing we can turn apart. Led Zeppelin was pretty good at instrument techniques. The Beatles were pretty good at best-selling, and at instruments as well. I'm a both Beatlemaniac and a Zeppeliniac (I don't know the original term), but being sincere, no one goes at the front of The Beatles, except Jesus Christ.
I really wish there was more footage of young Jimmy just talking. Hell, I’d settle for a clip of him describing his bloody breakfast.
SAME
Ren -Yu me
Chances are that if he described his breakfast, the cops and the FBI would have shown up.
Try the ITV interview in the channel islands,circa 1963 aged 18..it's on UA-cam
@Hugh Jones It wasn't Syd Barrett.
jimmy and rob get bullied for ten minutes
Lmfao 😂😂
No, they just high. Thought they handled pretty good.

Camouflage Lessons by Page and Plant: Blending in with the Sofa
JPJ and Bonzo have succeeded, apparently- you can’t even tell that they’re there
maya I LOVE IT THAT WAS FUNNY 😂😂 ZEPPELIN FANS ARE THE BEST MAKING MY LOCKDOWN MUCH BETTER ❤️
Maren Denison You have no idea how hard I laughed
Seeing that Plant and Page have similar taste in shirts, maybe Jimmy should've lent Robert one of his during their concerts?!
Lmao
It’s a shame none of the interviewers thought to ask Jimmy about Hendrix’s guitar playing. That would be an answer worth hearing.
The only thing I've heard Page mention about Hendrix was concerning his death "We've lost the best guitarist there ever was"
Good point. Again, dumb reporters w/dumb questions.
I was reading a jimmy page biography book and in it jimmy says that he never heard him, or never saw him live, he never got the chance to even though he wanted to.
That doesn’t seem likely. Hendrix was all the rage in London in late ‘66 and jammed many times with Jeff Beck, although I suppose it’s possible that Pagey was busy with the yardbirds at that time...
I’ve read the same thing. I think it was in the Rolling Stone book of 100 greatest guitarists that I used to have....
Robert back then looked like he stepped out of a Rembrandt painting.
Jimmy kinda looks like he wants to disappear into the sofa
😅 I don’t blame him
He looks like Jesus but he has a deal with the devil
I don't blame him, ditto😑
@@avr2766he did ironically looked like Jesus with a beard 😂 ironic given that he’s actually Satans little helper
Jimmy's voice... I love it. He sounded like a teenager
He still does....😀
Yup! Never changed in his voice! He sound the same as today, tomorrow and yesterday! Even as old as he is now, still that voice and his laughter! Hey 👋! What about his mustache? Back in the days with his mustache looks like timber man! Isn't it! He should've kept his mustache to this present day! Looks good 👍!
@@MissPepsi-pc5ox non sono d'accordo. Secondo me sta veramente male con la barba e i baffi. Molti uomini possono star meglio, risultare più sexy ma lui no. Viene coperto il bellissimo sorriso che ha. Il tono di voce piace molto anche a me, una voce soft non grezza che cozza quasi con la sua immagine da duro e erotico...
@@MissPepsi-pc5ox he is soft spoken and little that's what makes him stand out more that he can make such hard rock sounds
@@luciabenedetti3893 Well! It's ok that you don't agreed! About his mustache is what I was saying he looks like timberman back then! 🤣 Yeah! It does covered his smile but it looks good!🤔
these People can't stop talking about the Beatles led zeppelin is in front of you talk about them
I agree. i think that's kind of rude to be asking about other musicians, when you have music legends right in front of you. no wonder they couldn't wait for the interview to end. I don't blame them
2:33 Jimi Hendrix's death had just been announced which makes this interview date 18 September 1970. A few months earlier, the Beatles had officially disbanded. Both events were big shocks in the entertainment industry, leaving a big opening for Led Zep in the marketplace
The Beatles and Stones started to pave the way for harder rock sounds.
Zeppelin already knocked the Beatles off the number one album slot when the Beatles were around. Different audiences.
Hendrix wasnt even that big
@@lyndoncmp5751 Yeah but knocking an album or single off the number one spot doesn't mean you've surpassed the group in popularity. All records will be knocked off eventually.
@@mintybadgerproductions
My point was that late 1970 when the Beatles disbanded was not the 'opportunity' Zeppelin got to have an opening in the market. They already had a successful market in 1969 even when the Beatles were still officially together and still releasing albums. It didn't take the Beatles splitting up for Zeppelin to become huge, as the opening poster alluded to. Zeppelin would have become huge regardless, and in fact they were, as their record sales in 1969 proved.
The Rolling Stones and The Who were also still around and that didn't stop Zeppelin being huge either. Zeppelin being huge was not to do with the Beatles disbanding, leaving an opening in the market.
Cheers.
everytime Robert giggles I gain years of life
Amazing how intelligent they both are and being only 22 and 26 at the time.
I can honestly say that Jimmy and Robert kept their charm and grace, and gave some intelligent and thoughtful replies to the most ludicrous and void of purpose questions ever asked, ever. . .
especially harping on Hendrix's death.
Some USA journos say such stupid things. Look at some of the Beatles interviews.
Some things in the media never change.
It’s crazy that all those massive bands from the 60s and 70s were British. We’re a tiny island that’s smaller than the state of Texas, but our effect on the world’s music is massive.
Just my opinion as an American, but I thought in some sense the great literary heritage of the British had something to do with their great success in rock-n-roll.
Well, our effect on the world itself is immeasurable. North America and Australasia are both majority Anglo-Saxon ancestry.
It was the begining of modern culture war. What I remember even Elvis Presley have meeting with Nixon because of this (particularly about The Beatles effect). Led Zeppelin does have few cultural exchange concerts to spread British music, I saw a documentary about they flew to Iceland and other places. Even in their last concerts that was supposed to be in North America, Bonham (the drummer) and Plant (vocalist) didn't want to go and want to stay with their family, but they tricked them to do it anyway.
The feeling for other countries probably nowadays are similar with Korean wave these days, and Kpop group like BTS. There's massive backlash and rejection, saying they're bad influence, etc. But they already have big fandom all over the world.
As the blues was dying in the US it was simultaneously having a profound effect on young British musicians. The raw emotional music and guitar styles were admired and inspired them to re-invent, repackage, and return to the country it came from. The British Invasion thrilled the new generation who would've never known of the American Blues Masters that their favorite bands successfully revived.
The current trends of digitized instruments, vocals with pitch correction software, Hip Hop, and Pop music are getting further and further separated from the blues, losing emotional content, becoming more and more sterile, and have no longevity within the youth targeted
Defo mate👍🏻💯
Judy garland was a perfect comeback!!!
Indeed!! The dumb reporters!!
He’s so freaking sharp and quick. Love this guy.
He also mentions Edith Piaf.
I would have loved this if the reporters had done their homework and asked good questions. You can tell they perceived the rock music scene as a freak show.
Mike Brown You get a thumbs up because you’re a Zep fan and have a cool name.
This interview is now 50 years old. Incredible!
53 😲
I like how Jimmy starts interviewing the reporter at 6:43
11:22 Page: "But, no one expected this" Plant: *raises eyebrows* "Certainly not". Little joke between friends, hidden in plain sight, love it.
they were so handsome omg
Robert Plant is such a smart guy!
Peter Davis - All four were very intelligent
He is. Both he and Jimmy are and were highly cultured, well-read guys.
The reporters spent most of the time asking them about other musicians lmao
I’m alway stunned at the idiocy of the questions. No wonder Jimmy always said “they didn’t understand what we were doing”. I loved their music and I could never get why reporters always tried to imply it had some kind of message or mind control. 😂 Like it was dangerous.
Here is some context to this press conference.
1. Jimi Hendrix had just died in London at 12:45p.m. September 18, 1970. So by the time of this press conference in New York City, the news of Hendrix's passing was passing through the news media and the music world. It is natural for reporters to ask about their reaction to Jimi Hendrix's death as it was on everyone's mind.
2. In between the September 9 Boston Garden gig and the September 19 Madison Square Garden shows, Led Zeppelin returned to England. The 1970 Melody Maker Poll results had been announced in the interim. For the first time in a decade, the Beatles were not the winners in Favourite Group. Led Zeppelin became the first band to knock the Beatles off the top spot since the Melody Maker Poll began. Not the Rolling Stones. Not the Kinks. Not the Who. It was Led Zeppelin. This played into the jealousy that a lot of those old groups had towards Led Zeppelin. They all felt that with the Beatles gone that it should be them to reap the benefits and rewards, not these new upstarts.
So this wasn't about Led Zeppelin's album knocking the Beatles off the #1 spot in the charts...that had already happened in December 1969 when Led Zeppelin II replaced "Abbey Road" on the charts. No, by being the first band to replace the Beatles in the Melody Maker Poll, Led Zeppelin showed it was they who were winning the hearts and minds of the young people now that the Beatles were gone.
Not the old fogeys Stones, Who and Kinks.
That signified a seismic change in the rock and roll landscape. The Beatles were already legendary by this point and one of the few rock groups taken seriously by the mainstream media. Hence, all the Beatles questions.
This was also a time when many mainstream media people still thought rock and roll was a fad that would hopefully go away and the world could return to Lawrence Welk music.
Absolutely brilliant post and so true. Nice one mate.
Excellent points about older bands from the mid 1960's being jealous of Zeppelin supplanting The Beatles. It's not Zeppelin's fault they had once in a lifetime talent+chemistry.
Thanks men (Y)
Excellent. Shows you how intelligent Robert and Jimmy are. Beautiful English men. Deep thinkers, well-spoken, quiet demeanors, unfortunately unlike today's "musicians". They make me proud to be English.
I'm Irish. They make me happy.
I like Today’s music IDK What you’re talking about?
They make me proud about being from a British colony
@@GolddenWaffles you like shit
With all due respect, You guys exploited everything for your own gain and tortured poor families across the globe. Bloody slave owners. You are the villains and very lucky. If it weren't for the channel you'd have lost to Germany hands down. Without the help of USA you'd be fucked. Fucking dictators.
But in music, you're bloody amazing.
Pages voice sounds so different form later interviews
As a huge Beatles fan who later got into Zeppelin (I adore them both), I appreciate how much respect there is from Robert and Jimmy towards them. I imagine some of the reporters were hoping to stir up some dirt, and were denied.
The decade when haircut salons were under financial depression.
This was during the vacation period to Headley Grange And Bron-Y-Aur they grew their hair and lived very naturally for a few weeks no electric only candles and writing material
The decade where you rarely saw fat, balding men under 50.
@@UntrainedPuppy yeah but still everybody had long hair it was the 70s
Except for Peter grant!
Lol
I can’t reconcile Robert Plant’s speaking with his singing. And how can a person smoke cigarettes and maintain such an amazing voice?
when I first heard him speak, I thought the same. Robert oozes American to me when I look at him so when he speaks, I love it, but I'm taken aback.
They were just much tougher back then.
MAGICK
These interviewers are asking some pretty stupid questions at times. But Robert and Jimmy know how to answer them. Love these guys!!!
Right...Lennon preaching about love YET sometimes he got angry or moody pretty quick in these kind of interviews, bashing people even with the most standard of the questions which was baffling to me because he was suposed to be a "peace and love" institution...unlike these guys which had grace, less ego and knew most of the questions where BS but where still respectful towards the interviewers and the audience with utter confidence and charm...all that and zep where pretty huge already by that time...it's called CLASS. Beatles and lennon fan here but THIS.
This interview = What is and what should never be.
dumbest. questions. ever.
This is a good illustration of why Zeppelin was good and why I like them. Robert’s answers about not wanting to have a “message” and be some kind of “thought leader” for “the youth”. They were just about the music. Making great music.
Polite, intelligent answers to rather stupid questions. I love Jimmy's reply about rock'n'roll and drugs (evoking Garland and Piaf)...
Page always seemed impatient in interviews, while Plant always seemed to be the more social one, always appears inviting and freindly.
Nothing against Jimmy, I'd be the same way.
Plant was soooo diplomatic. I don’t know how he did it. Page seems to be completely bored with the whole business and rightly so.
Roberta Colarette plant was the front man so it’s only natural.
@@robertacolarette1594 Yes. He knows "every word has 2+ meanings"! (even then, media could twist to fit their narrative..)
Jimmy has said that he was incredibly shy and prefered to let his guitar do the talking.
Classic extrovert - Plant. Classic introvert - Page. Only thing is if you put Page on a stage he became an extrovert for a few hours.
Jimmy's smile awww 😍
I agree with them when they say The Beatles got through to so many millions of people, that’s an inspiration to them itself of the power of music and the timelessness of the art form, and how Robert later says we don’t exactly have a message but a message of enjoyment, enjoy the music when you’re listening to it.
I saw Led Zeppelin for the 1st time in 1970 in NYC @ MADISON SQUARE GARDENS! I'm pretty sure it was in Sept!!! This must have beeb when they did this interview!!! BTW, tickets were $9.50 for the good seats!!! How lucky am I? I saw ZEP 3 more times after that!!! The BEST ROCK BAND OF the 1970'S!!! ROCK N ROLL! ;-)
How old were you when u saw them in 1970? and were the band members aware of your NO FACIAL HAIR policy at that time?
Sally Weinreich and now I’d pay 1k to see them, never having had the pleasure!!
The closest I ever came to seeing LZ was in 2008 when Robert Plant was touring with Allison Krause and her band in Louisville, Kentucky. They played Battle of Evermore, Going to California, Hey Hey What Can I Do, and few more off LZ III. It was absolutely amazing and provided just a peek into what the band may have sounded like. It was the first concert of the tour so his vocals were spot-on and sounded just like the records. Best concert I ever went to, especially with Allison Krauss singing backup on the Battle of Evermore.
Yes it was, and fantastic you saw them on that tour. 1970 was an amazing year for Led Zeppelin.
U r so lucky
Funny to see that Pages nose touching tick goes way back😁
It's always a shock to me hearing Jimmy Pages speaking voice no matter how many times I hear it.
NO FR
What Jimi was like as an entertainer: "He put every iota of everything he's got inside him at the time into what he was doing, and the audience felt that." Awesome.
Must have been so frustrating for them when all the questions were about the Beatles or Hendrix. But I'll keep watching for the sheer pleasure of hearing young Robert Plant's voice
Page was 26-and-a-half years old, and Plant had just turned 22 the month before. Even though Page had the pedigree and experience--and should have had the savvy with the media--it was already apparent that Plant was beginning to emerge as the spokesman with the quick wit, and thoughtful answers for the media. This would continue...and is still prevalent today. What Plant says, goes.
Exactly. Zep management and record company saw this interview and said "Right - Plant you're handling the press. Jimmy - go write some more tunes - we'll call you if we need you."
I also feel that Plant obviously knowing that Jimmy is very introverted spoke most of the time for that reason as well - he knew Jimmy feels less comfortable doing that. If that’s true, that’s pretty cute.
Jimmy was still the leader of the band
It's said that he pulled this strings almost in a Machiavellian type of way
Page is more serious
I'm convinced Robert is the most confident person that ever walked earth
I like the way people back then really listened and responded with respectful consideration, rather than always trying to be funny or combative or whatever the way they do now.
I was born in '72. I remember distinctly a few years later hearing 'Kashmir' on the radio (I had older siblings) and thinking - at 5 or 6 - how unusual that song was musically. It remains my favorite Zep song.
robert plant looks so good I almost cried just by looking at him
He is just SEXY SEXY!!!! This is his hottest look, and he's always hot. Smokin!!!!
They most definitely do NOT make em like that anymore! All I see are pot belly's and balding shaved heads with a beard (ugh) or if they have decent hair, it's pulled up in a ridiculous looking "man bun" (double UGH)!!!

A gem of an interview, a time capsule revealing what was on the minds of people: the counter-culture, drugs, stardom.
Jimmy 😍❤️
Robert's hair grew incredibly fast from the end of '68 to here didn't it? Jimmy with the beard really gives a distinct date, he had it for such a short time. I can believe this was 50 years ago.
Jimmy showed lots of respect for Jimi
He did.
He never uses the word “tragedy” like that. He looked disgusted too, like what a waste.
@@macurban7946ahhh. I bet he was thrilled because Jimi is once less threat to page, he didn't really seem like he cared. I'm not expecting page and plant to be crying..but it seemed page was like"ahh a too bad" Imagine if Jimi Hendrixs didn't die? He would have smoked page as far as music.
@@ProfessorKenneth True. Page never even went to see Hendrix play while he was still alive. Page sucked
Back then it was zeppelin vs the media, today it is the people vs the media. So ahead of their time.
This is such an awkward interview in terms of questions and the boys handle it so well and respectfully. One thing that has remained the same throughout the years is that you can see there is not a shred of ego between them and they are humble, friendly and down to earth.
Robert seems more the talker. Jimmy seems the quiet, almost... nervous? Shy? -I guess- he's the one who's happy to let someone else do the talking. Same, Jimmy, same
Jimmy's body language says it plainly "I am really uncomfortable in front of the press". He's not a talker for sure.
Jimmy's quite obviously an intrivert loving music, not clueless reporters :)
Well....not every person loves to talk to cameras!! Pretty simple -Means nothing
Dumbest reporters ever. Plant who looks magnificent as a Musketeer, tries gamely but Page treats the questions with the contempt they deserve. "Would you like to receive the order of the garter?" "What's that, something to do with the Can Can?" lol
I love how Jimmy’s top sometimes matches with the sofa 😂😂
Robert too
It's the sofa that matches with Jimmy Page bro.
jimmy and robert are kind of matching too. how cute. 😂

jeez, this was 50 years ago. i think it's fair to say music has devolved tremendously. every time i try to give new songs a chance is just a reminder of why i keep returning to these guys.
For all their bluster on stage, Page and Plant were rather reserved and proper.
great 1970 interview plus the ultimate madison square garden performance they ever did cheers to james patrick page robert anthony plant

They are so young....and look kinda lost in the fame....its got to be a tought life to live...but they were loved by sooo many people....and still are today!!💖
I commend their patience, but I can tell In their minds, they kept saying, “how many more dumb ass questions do we have to answer?”
Robert Plant looks so luscious.
Good call Jimmy: "What about Judy Garland or Edith Piaf?" They really wanted LZ to go on about drugs.
Beatles were a singing group, more like the Beach Boys or the Moody Blues. Zeppelin was a hard rock band.

The Beatles were a rock band. Led Zeppelin were a heavy rock band. However The Beatles touched on heavy rock (Helter Skelter is heavier than anything Zeppelin did) as well as a multitude of other genres. Stop talking out of your ass.

DEEP PURPLE Bassist Says He Learned Meaning Of 'Heavy' By Listening To LED ZEPPELIN
April 3, 2017
Barbara Caserta of Italy's Linea Rock recently conducted an interview with DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover. You can now watch the chat below.
Asked if there is anything that he has envied about the other two bands that are considered to be part of the "holy trinity" of British heavy rock - BLACK SABBATH and LED ZEPPELIN - Glover said: "Not really. I didn't actually know much about BLACK SABBATH. I thought 'Paranoid' was a great single; I loved that. But the depths of the albums I never really got into. ZEPPELIN I heard before I joined PURPLE - just within a couple of weeks. And I loved it - that first ZEPPELIN album blew me away and changed my thinking about music, actually."
He continued: "The word 'heavy' was being used a lot in the mid-to-late '60s - heavy music. I mean, [Jimi] Hendrix and CREAM were, sort of, paving the way, if you like. I thought 'heavy'… The band I was in before PURPLE, we thought 'heavy' was just having more equipment and playing louder. It's not that. [Laughs] It's [not] the same old stuff but louder. But I'd suddeny realized, when I listened to ZEPPELIN, especially 'Dazed And Confused' and 'How Many More Times', 'heavy' didn't mean loud and big; it was an attitude. That was the key. And right on the heels of that came meeting DEEP PURPLE. So it was a meeting of disparate things that all of a sudden I actually got the knowledge of where I'm going a little bit as opposed to just shooting in the dark."
Look I absolutely love Led Zeppelin but you can't day they're the greatest there's so many greats out there back the music is subjective it's all a matter of who's your favorite...
@@JC-vj4ln
Led Zeppelin are hard rock then again 2/3rds of their music was other genres...
The press always slammed Zeppelin because they defied categorization. They were so ahead of their time and revolutionary, Zeppelin suffered the same disdain that all the innovators faced when they weren't able to fit into any preconceived box. Those who are first through the wall are bound to get bloody.
This was right before the fourth record and I remember Jones saying that that album was the one. "After that, they didn't compare us to Black Sabbath anymore."
Itsme drools it was over their heads
They are trying so hard in this interview to put them in a box and not respecting them as individual musicians at all. Plant and Page are far too gracious to tell em where to go.
Itsme drools Yeah vanguard innovators because they never ripped off any American blues artists and always gave them full credit, right.
This interview coincides with the LZIII Album tour.
The band wouldn't start to play tunes from LZIV for at least six months live.
I think jimmy looks so shy and cute ♡
If that dude ask one more question about Hendrix!
Hendrix had died only a few days earlier, it seems
Lol
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL Hendrix had died that very day in London...September 18, 1970 12:45p.m. London Time. So yeah, his death was on everyone's minds.

I think both bands are legends in their own, unique/different ways and both should be celebrated as amazing UK artists (being a Brit myself 😁)
such cool guys , tnx for All the Amazing music = Eternal works of Art 👍
I agree that these press people are really grilling Robert and Jimmy,and I guess thats their job.In any case Robert and Jimmy handle it like champions.
toxie vope If it's their job to be rude then they need to find another job.
i only agree in the "Robert and Jimmy handle it like champions
toxie vope Grilling? I don’t think so. They aren’t asking controversial personal questions. I don’t see a problem
Page had already toured with The Yardbirds and was no novice when it came to being a well known musician in the US concert scene.
Suddenly it was very different.... It was a new public reality after the massive and sudden worldwide success of ZEP 2.
It must have been thrilling for Page, and especially overwhelming for Plant to have that intense press focus on the band.
Plant is always saying it was a blast and amazing...from being really poor to wealthy...to meeting some of his heroes like janis joplin and buffalo sprinfield...to travelling to timbuktu or iceland that easily...he's always grinning when asked about zep except when asked about john's incident or new tours but he never thought it was overwhelming or intimidating, sounds like it was a whole new bright, crazy, fun, technicolor like, wild ride for him from being just a poor kid with no direction on birmingham to a world traveller and conqueror like his heroes on his fav books and it shows...he is always smiling on these interviews (drugs aside) and having a blast. Jimmy sounds like knew success already and was quite relaxed...only that zep became far more massive than any of those bands he hanged out with.
talk about killing a good high to sit and answer the dumbest questions poor guys
Should have asked whether there was a connection in between Dean Martin and the Rat Pack’s music and flagrant alcohol usage and old people getting hammered drunk and getting behind the wheel of an automobile to take themselves or someone else out?
A day before the last concert they played before recording Zep 4. No other words I can say can infirm the moment.
Robert Plant looked like he could have been the wizard
No. Jimmy is the wizard
@@mrsmacca126 they both are, you can’t forget that Robert wrote literally more than half of Zeppelins music
RP is about the best looking fellow ever.
Dos caballeros muy inteligentes; Robert es hermoso y tan talentoso!! Larga vida a Led Zeppelin!!
These questions were cringeworthy. Im surprised they stuck it out.
"I thought he was a model for a wrist watch". Hahahahaha.......
@1:42 me too Robert, me too lol
and Page's mention of Judy Garland going over their heads...>
LOL right? They did not get the Judy or Edith Piaf drug references
