I Got ToFind My Baby - The Band Of Joy

[@markh1085]

The guitar is by Kevin Gammond. Plants best friend and resides next door. He is n excellent guitarist. Runs the music college in Kidderminster where Plant also puts regular input. He also runs the MAS label. I would love to have seen the direction this band would have taken if given the opportunity. But as we know Zeppelin beckoned . I would so love to hear more from these sessions. Plants voice is incredible. Right from these early years he was outstanding. Reap it up people you will never hear a vocalist this good, ever again. To hear Plant is history in the making .

OOOHH BAAAABA.. pages coughs up his drink.. eyes open really wide.. and says... I need this guy..

[@davidthornber6507]

Thanks Mark for sharing that nugget of rock history , a truly special time to have been around.

[@missdee4927]

@@TRUMP-2024-STF Plant said he got a fax from Peter Grant saying that Terry Reid said to him and Page that he was the best singer in England and they wanted to come hear him. Plant thought it was a joke. I don't know if Page expected to be disappointed after hearing Reid say what he said but he said he wondered if something was wrong with Robert after he heard him because he couldn't believe he hadn't already been a star.

[@dijamaira1981]

So much bluesy in this pre zep of Plant. What a voice. Glad Jimmy found him and Bonzo.

[@candicewitzkoske3155]

I knew it was Bonham right off! The beginning of the best band in the stratosphere!

[@Felduin]

plants early voice was so gooooooood and groovy

[@MsSusie110]

Incredible voice. The whole band sounds good.

[@deneece4946]

This is great! What a lead vocalist Robert Plant is! Always loved his voice, tone and his soul!

[@jppatches1327]

Robert and the blues. It’s like the cherry on top, of life.

[@stevelauda5435]

Wow this is awsome!, Plants voice is stellar!, Bonzo moves the air around his snare like no other!

[@davidleblanc288]

Oh wow! This is great, hadn't heard this one before. So this is vintage Plant singing the Blues. His voice is so iconic.

[@desicoinc.7956]

You can just hear the beginnings of the Zeppelin Sound with Bonham and Plant. Thank You for Uploading!!! 🤘💥❤

[@missdee4927]

Woot! There's nothing like early Plant singing the blues.

[@karentarr8930]

Robert Plant has such an incredible amazing voice, love him forever 💕

[@maxlingo]

Kevyn Gammond on guitar is described by Robert as a "lifetime member of the Band of Joy". In the early 1970s Kevyn played in a band called Bronco with Robbie Blunt. More recently he has held a senior position in music education at Kidderminster College.

[@DScott-pc7rd]

Another one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. I’m kidding. I’m kidding! Hearing John play these mellow dramatic works, is like knowing a black panther is lurking and prancing in the tall grass manifesting its moment to pounce. I Am so thankful for recording technology that allows all future generations to enjoy at their leisure. \m/ \m/

Robert is singin those blues💙👍🏼💪🏼

[@alyssakelley7418]

Oh I love that GUITAR

[@davidmiller-sr7cb]

Yep, I sure do remember hearing this way back 30 years ago when I had heard this on bootleg cd’s back when they’d have the great live concerts on cds & on videos that you could find if you knew where to look at the back of some music stores with bootleg cds and VHS live concerts, on cds and many cds with the live Pro Shot videos of concerts and bootleg recordings.

[@timeisup3094]

An 18 year old Robert Plant...... SWEET JESUS!!!

[@FlavioGirl]

thanks for sharing these rare songs. It's amazing to see how much Robert's voice has changed over the past.......gasp........43 years. God Bless you, Robert. And also congrats on your BIG win at the Grammys on Sunday. O:-)

[@makarmusicrocks]

Wow, amazing voice!! You're the best Robert.

[@leemiller287]

His voice stands out in a crowd my heart melts so seductive back in the day 😍 and still after all these years he stl incredible at what he does

[@marcolascaraky5044]

I really believe that lead guitar was really good with a cool sound...expecially for that period (1966)...

[@reason5591]

Yes

[@leemiller287]

Wow incredible bunch of guys 😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@riclira]

Half Zeppelin. Amazing!

[@alvida813]

[@petejones879]

These were sooo good... Tis a shame they disbanded after 3 singles.. Did they ever record an album.? But if they hadn't given it up would we have had zeppelin?

Once upon a time. The rest is history

Don't forget Lyndon Laney the bass player of the Band of Joy and Lyndon Laney: Founder and CEO of Laney Amplifiers. Robert Plant only uses Laney Amplifiers.

[@cokeydear]

OMG THE COW COAT!!!!! ...I have an obsession with that thing.

[@jetcat132]

Makes you wonder how he slipped through the cracks and wasn’t snapped up by one of the other big names of the day… Even Page said he thought that there must have been something wrong with Plant or his personality after he heard him sing and he was still available. That’s the same voice he brought to the first Zep album, hard to figure how he wasn’t already well known and committed to another band.

[@candicewitzkoske3155]

Because Zep was meant to be!

[@bbb8997]

Who cares?

[@richardhincemon]

Page was part of the music scene in London and Plant was in Birmingham England he was 100 miles away from being discovered by Page. Robert Plant, John Bonham and Tony Iommi were all well known musicians from the Midlands in England waiting for a big deal in the record industry back in the late sixties.

[@jetcat132]

@@bbb8997Obviously not you, jagoff

[@ProfessorKenneth]

They sound brilliant 👍🏻💯 they could have been great if it wasn't for,whatever..... like if Grant and page weren't looking for Robert.

[@marcolascaraky5044]

I think it was around 1966 and the Plant's voice is incredible for that period and the group? I knew there was been a group called "band of yoy" in which was singing Plant, but nothing more. Someone can post to me something around this group ?. I only know that Plant was carried by J. Bonham to know Page and Jones in 1968 summer and so Zep were behind the corner !

[@zachschoenberg4474]

Plant introduced page to Bonham

[@rruizproductions]

Wow! His voice is better here than in LZ! 😂

[@pauljoseph8691]

I'll pay this one. It's got it all and quite a bit more

[@pitzernaldo]

Excelente guitarrista, apesar de não ser Page, o estilo também combina perfeitamente com o vocal. O baixo bem marcado em um tempo de blues básico também suscita outras comparações com o som do Zeppelin.

[@Fongolitus]

same time Aynsley Dunbar's Retaliation was happening with Victor Brox, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and Meyall's Bluesbreakers of course

[@victoriatarala6646]

@TheBrowndawg god damn i love the band of joy, its great shit. the only thing that could make it better is....

[@antonio8897]

Musically this band is right up with the better known ones. Probably had weak promotion and management that wasn’t able to take them further.

[@heliotropezzz333]

Finding his baby is either a common theme in blues songs or a common theme in Robert Plant's songs.

[@littleshrimp6905]

Wow on this photo robert looks so shawty with the other two guys in addition of bonham and john paul jones

[@rosygreer]

Mick Strode was the very last guitarist in the Band of Joy in 1968, prior to Robert and Bonzo joining Led Zep. He now lives in France and still plays a mean blues guitar.

[@xblood1978]

You can tell Plant must have played this stuff to Jimmy totally giving Jimmy the direction he needed for what became zep

[@joeyhuebner10]

Not really. If you listen to what Jimmy was doing with the yardbirds and what the Jeff Beck Group was playing at the time, you'd immediately recognize that many people were of the same mind regarding the music.

[@larryjoseph9864]

Jimmy was already developing his own sound with the Yardbirds.... Plant,Bonham and Jones made what he was looking for completed

[@ArchieFatcackie]

Plant’s voice went around ‘73 prior to that he was incredible

That Plant has no talent. Kamala 2024

[@222Lightning]

I actually think hes not a good fit for that band.........he was meant for something more cosmic, strange, mystical, sparkly and most of all.....complex. Led Zepplin did the blues...........but it was like no one had ever done them.

[@bbb8997]

blatant copy of "rock me baby", not too shabby. more interesting than most zeppelin crap
