After rubber soul.. it gives you the consepuals behind the Sargent Peppers album cover.

When you guys putting out part 3? Love your reactions to Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers. Two bands with great singers. Very different styles but both Gregg and Robert are in the top 5 of rock/blues singers.

The Wrecking Crew were an informal group of maybe 30 musicians - it depends on how you define a "member", as they were all individually hired for sessions, so it was entirely possible to work in 10 different "groups" over a week, and yet all the members of those groupings were part of The Wrecking Crew. As for why they came to be, that's simple. They were The Best available musicians at the time who were familiar with working in a Studio setting. They weren't intimidated by being in a studio, they could play the music they were asked to, and they didn't screw up. Studio time was EXPENSIVE, like "Buy a new Corvette" expensive for a 10-hour day. Calling in The Wrecking Crew was the cheap option, as they could knock out both sides of a single in a couple of hours. Remember, pop & rock music was regarded at the time as "Flash in the Pan" music, quick to produce, lacking any real meaning, here one day, gone the next. A Pop career could maybe last 5 years, if you were lucky. Most Pop artists thought they were doing well if they lasted more than a couple of hit singles, and maybe an album, before the next big thing arrived on the scene and replaced them. Rock n' Roll? that died in 58', when Elvis went in to the Army. It wasn't until The Beatles & the British Invasion that the idea of a band writing and performing their own music became a thing, and it took a while to take hold in the US music industry. The idea of a band booking a studio for a month to record an album was considered laughable, as there was the perception that there was no way they would ever be able to repay the studio costs, let alone turn a profit. That's one of the prime reasons The Beatles were such a big deal - not only did they write a lot of their own music, they performed & recorded it, and made money while doing so. Even then they had to prove themselves before EMI would allow them more than a day or two to record an album... In many ways, Glen Campbell was the only member of The Wrecking Crew who saw the writing on the wall left by The Beatles & their ilk, as he was pretty much the only member who was willing to go out and build a name for himself, rather than staying in the studio or backing someone else. Leon Russell came pretty close in the early 70's as a singer/songwriter, but he was more of a cult hero - musicians knew how good he was, but the public didn't really get it, unlike Campbell, who was having hit records and TV shows through most of the 70's...

Ann Margaret is not only a great actress, she can actually sing as well. Remember, she dated Elvis at some point. Fantastic movie, by the way .......

I always wondered why a band from Florida wrote a song called Sweet Home Alabama... now I know they were paying homage to where it all began for them in Muscle Shoals.

"The story of THE WALL is told simply with the music of Pink Floyd, images and natural effects. There is no conventional dialogue to progress the narrative. Our story is about Pink, a Rock and Roll performer. who sits locked in a hotel room, somewhere in Los Angeles. Too many shows, too much dope, too much applause; a burned out case. On the TV , an all too familiar war film flickers on the screen. We shuffle time and place, reality and nightmare as we venture into Pink's painful memories, each one a "brick" in the wall he has gradually built around his feelings. Slowly he withdraws from the real world and slips further into his nightmare as he imagines himself as an unfeeling demagogue, for whom all that is the demonstration of power over his unthinking audience, the culmination of the odious excess of his own world and the world around him. His internal self trial follows, as the witnesses of his past life, the very people who have contributed to the building of the wall, come forward and testify against him." ALAN PARKER

The Who in the early years were notorious for destroying their own instruments and equipment. They eventually came to realize how dumb that phase was.

Rod Stewart was the original choice to play the Pinball Wizard but Elton suggested that it would be a bad move. However, they've remained friends. At the time the movie came out, Elton was at his absolute peak and when I saw this in a theater in 1975, there was actually some applause when he popped up on screen. The apathy/nastiness of Ann-Margret (Tommy's mother) was apparently good enough to get her an Oscar nomination.

More and more I'm learning that a lot of the 80's rock bands' producers would bring in a session player or two because certain band members couldn't cut it in the studio. These were usually the bands that didn't sound as good live as on the record. If you do some digging, you'll find that The Beatles and The Rolling Stones sometimes used studio musicians as well. Of course, just like the Led Zeppelin plagiarism stories, these things were not known at the time and only started coming out long after the bands' heyday.

Its was his wife that was in the bed with another guy

You guys are awesome..,.

For someone to enjoy this movie should they have had to have listens to the Tommy album?

13:51 ... a "90-10 split" ... that sounds reasonable LOL.....

shoutout Alan ‘blind owl’ Wilson. the forgotten name amongst the 27 club, the first of the 1970s bunch too!

You Guys really know your stuff, an excellent review. 😊

That 200k in today's money is 1.8m, adjusted for inflation.

LZ didn't start out slow, their first album was #10 in the US, 2nd album was #1 , 3rd was #1, 4th was #2, 5th was #1.

Page, Plant and JPJ have done several modern interviews, not sure why you can't find what JPJ looks like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnKUmKyqf6milac

Page, Beck, John Paul Jones and Moon did record a song together in 1966, "Beck's Bolero". "Beck's Bolero" was not released until ten months after recording and then only as the B-side to Beck's first single. When it finally received greater exposure on Beck's debut album Truth in the latter part of 1968, it was still considered quite advanced even though it was over two years old kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn3OfZakqsSYlck

Led Zep did interviews. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6HMm2CbiLB8eM0&pp=ygUWbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWHJopqna7-AkLs&pp=ygUWbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/p320YZhsh6ZpiJo&pp=ygUWbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpDMqqRuf8uceac&pp=ygUWbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqTbd3Wmls5nj5I&pp=ygUWbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGludGVydmlldw%3D%3D

13th bday present from my parents, Tuesday June 8, 1977 MSG. I still have my ticket stub and program. As a 12 year old drummer, Bonzo was my god!

They came to Reykjavik, Iceland in June 1970 having released LZ I and II, and the gig was different than anything we had ever heard, just after their gig in Reykjavik, they wrote about us Vikings in Iceland, Immigrant Song. I saw them enjoy the Icelandic midnight sun and our hot springs flowing! Best regards from Immy.

A good read is Bring it on Home, the biography of Peter Grant, the story of rock's greatest manager.

Forty thousand each. Grant was an equal partner. Twenty percent each.

There’s a one hour documentary on KZbin about Peter Grant. It’s called Peter Grant Mr Rock & Roll

😎

ok guys you gotta start reacting to the live video performances like albert hall 1970 song remains the the same msg 1973 earlscourt 1975 knebworth 1979 the community is dying to here your reactions to these live videos you can see some these concert videos on behind the music docu series of led zep

I just checked and there is another well-regarded bio of Peter Grant (also 4.5 stars on Amazon) called "Bring it on Home: The Story of Peter Grant, etc" Also haven't read that one. To Che's pertinent question of "How?" was the female journalist "attacked," apparently a drunken Bonham (in "Beast" mode--Supercool sober, he could be an a-hole when drunk, which was all too often as time went on) and possibly another band member or even two "grabbed at" her (she's been vague about it). Who pulled Bonzo off her? Peter Grant.

"Suge Knight was the Peter Grant of the 90's" 🤣 The book you said you wanted, La, is called "Peter Grant: The Man Who Led Zeppelin." I haven't read it, but it's considered the definitive bio of him, I think. By Chris Welch, who's written numerous very popular books on Zeppelin. A fave Grant story of mine is very early on, he didn't feel Bonham was respecting Page's request to chill out with so many drum fills during a recording session , he told Bonz that if he didn't cool it, he could "leave by any WINDOW!" 🤣

Peter Grant definitely was not someone to mess around with Lol..

You need to watch that Danish TV concert is intimate and awesome

Love this fellas. Awesome

Remember, Zeppelin did not release singles and would not be on those lists. They did albums.

I really look forward to you guys going through these parts. Really good stuff! Hopefully total Albert Hall is next! There's a free small clips from that show in here. I promise you're going to love it!

Thier storyline similar to Rush the press hated rush the radio stations hated rush and had same underground fan base

They didn't want to release singles and were upset when Atlantic released one. That's why they didn't have songs hit the charts like you would think. But, the albums sure hit the charts!

What's funny is that LZ III has always been one of my favorite albums. I'm a hard rock guy, but great songs come first, from any genre. The acoustic work on that album is magical, but the whole album is great: the haunting counter punch of the eerie strings in Friends, the powerful multi-tracking of guitars on Celebration Day, the lilting, haunting slide in That's the Way, on and on. Greatness.

I never considered Zeppelin Heavy Metal. Bands like them in the 70s, serious bands, I always saw as Hard rock. And Hard rock was the term used for a very long time. Metal was so different from Hard rock

Here is a very early Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6WnJ9jncxnqKssi=xY2F_M36O-mg561P In 1969 Zeppelin played the Boston Tea Party. A 3 day concert of various bands put on by a local radio station. They had a huge hall for people. No chairs or anything. Zeppelin played the first day and the people went nuts and would not let them finish. They kept demanding more. People were nuts about them. The band was running out of material and were doing little bits of old rock of the 50s, whatever they could think of. This culminated on the third day when the crowd was so crazy for the band. IN the front standing in front of the stage guys were head banging and hitting their heads against the stage. It was totally wild. This is one of the best documentaries on Zeppelin. It is of that concert. This is so fascinating. You must watch it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWaql6SHqadliM0si=2g--MsKHfuL1j0lz

Have been a Zeppelin fan since high school in the mid 70s. Never found them mysterious. I suppose it is the press and gossips because Page was into things like the dark arts. He wa fascinated by that. I find it just being a curious mind getting into different things. Others saw it as voodoo and that he would hex them if they crossed him. Page found it hillarious. One time he played David Bowie and soon Bowie was convinced Page was a wizard and would curse him. hahahaha. For Page it was all harmless fun and curiosity and a brilliant mind getting into different subjects. For other he was scary. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6azhIyIr7tmqcUsi=KSY7gavs5MQtGaqx first ever performance by Led Zeppelin. It's audio but, still very interesting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZisY395hKiCo80si=-BpPvDU3wjrTH9KH documentary on Yardbirds into Led Zeppelin

Listen to the whole album please! It's so good...
