Eddie Kramer Is Responsible For Robert Plant Nickname Percy Plant - Sirius XM

[@rockhead69]

"leave the mistakes in...rock n roll has got hair on it" Eddie Kramer

[@Peter-vd9wi]

Eddie Kramer is the man!!

[@1Molehill]

That'll add another version to the growing list of stories as to why he was called Percy. The only person who'll probably ever know is Robert himself

[@robbieclark7828]

Him talking about the Cockney Rhyming thing just made so many things make sense

[@TMNigel]

You really got me with this Eddie:)

[@klmullins65]

You can hear the roots of Led Zep in Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man"...great song...fantastic guitar solo!!

[@billmaher1634]

Whut???

[@bassplayer8815]

Actually that solo was by Vic Flick who was a friend of Jimmy because they'd play together on sessions along with another guitarist Big Jim Sullivan (which would end up with Page getting the nickname Little Jim Pea) who was the signature country solo guy while Vic Flick and Jimmy were the guys for pop. But for the blues and RnB they'd use Page like in the song With A Little Help From My Friends by Joe Crocker where Page is using a Telecaster guitar and his Supro amp that he'd use on Led Zeppelin 1

I love that part, with overdub ghost…trippy

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Great story! Not the Percy bit so much, but the reverb bit was priceless.

[@broyle7332]

73 going on 30 beautiful man

[@ConglomerationCat]

I can listen to Eddie all day with his stories...

[@jamesmorgan2064]

Rocknroll has hair on it- Eddie Kramer

[@vikramjoglekar2460]

Clickbait headline. Kramer never takes credit for coming up with the nickname. He merely explains where the nickname came from 🙄.

[@MmeDesgranges]

Still living off that bleed through story

[@timbrady6473]

Zeppelin is Eddie’s favorite rock band? That says something.

[@danielallan5058]

Track 7 had a bad volume pot !...thank God!!

[@Braglemaster123]

The MSG has a soft drum tract. I wish we could here Bonham louder.

[@heliotropezzz333]

Percy is also slang for 'penis' as in the euphemism for going to the bathroom ' I'm going to point Percy at the porcelain'. Since Robert was well known for his tight revealing trousers, his seductive ways and his raunchy lyrics, it seems an apt nickname in that way also.

[@juliustorres8719]

Eddie almost looks like pops , and putting that into perspective makes me sad ..

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

When was this recorded?

[@albertomartinez2479]

Eddie the Raconteur's Raconteur.

[@mooch514]

They said the song remains the same was re recorded in studio...he just admitted it

[@Klapeful]

no, just the video, and robert probably had to lips sync his live performance of madison square guarden BUT just for the video, not the sound and only on a few segments. they didn't have the image but they had the sound on those few missing part.

[@pawelmorrison]

Or how bonham keeps gaining and loosing 20kg between different takes? Haha

[@PlatinumBlack90038]

Klapeful: You are absolutely correct. Cheers!

[@terrypussypower]

mooch514 Ehm.. NO. He didn't "admit" SHIT. Go and educate yourself on the history of the band before talking such rubbish.

[@dannyelam1631]

The video was also recorded over more than one show at Madison Square Garden.
