Terry Reid talking about Jimmy Page and joining Led Zeppelin

[@Joshualbm]

In some interviews I've heard, Robert Plant reflects on those days and usually mentions how Terry 'was the best of all of us' or words to that effect. Great stuff.

[@Flowmotion1000]

I think his band’s performance in the first Glastonbury film 1971 has to be one of the high points in rock for me.

[@moosey62]

That fucking rocks

[@MikeGervasi]

The version of Dean from that gig is ripping.

[@Seansaighdeoir]

Only just discovered him through that. That performance is phenomenal.

[@joederosas5654]

That's Seymour Duncan, guitar pickup designer legend, holding the microphone...

[@brianfergus839]

Two legends flying under the radar

[@SoulofAlice]

No way!! I've always heard of Duncan pickups....nice trivia!!

[@joederosas5654]

@@SoulofAlice Hi Stephanie. If you haven't, do check out the Seymour Duncan website. Lots of history, interviews, pickup info & more. Merry Christmas to you & yours!

[@robstimson4234]

l thought it was Chris Squire, which made no sense, until l read the fine print. LOL

[@stechriswillgil3686]

As Oscar Wilde said : “ The only thing worth having is youth.” Terry ( and all the other big names like Jagger, McCartney, Plant, Winwood etc ) are talking about the sweet bird of youth that flew away many years ago. Their stories ( much captured on film ) is of a distant land of all our yesterdays. ‘ Those happy highways that I went, and cannot come again ‘ ( A E Houseman , ‘ A Shropshire Lad ‘ ) .

So thankful you introduced them to Jimmy, Terry xx

[@askledhead]

He's humble , no ego . Good to see him still doing his thing , the younger Gen. can see how he has influenced so many .

Yes but with terry you have the best of both worlds. Humble and a legend.

[@vbassone]

I understand it,unfortunately most people don’t want to give one their proper respect if they make light of themselves. It’s frustrating if you are really good and you say so and then it turns off a lot of people that just might have otherwise really dug you if one just didn’t brag at all about themselves. It’s almost like as soon as one brags about themselves people lose respect for you even if you’re really great.

[@tonyajohnson7948]

Love Terry Reid…

[@MrFrampo56]

Respect , Terry. Fond memories of Superlungs etc. in my teenage years.

[@DYNODRUM]

Well,as a Tribute to 1969 and Terry Reid . I, hit the thumbs UPP and hit # 69. So ,hopefully all's well w/ Terry . Thankful for His great talent and records.

[@cookmoore3736]

Nice and humble :) very good story teller! And so he really did reference them to Jimmy. Zeppelin thanks to Terry! It would be great to see him with Winwood.

[@HIPCHIP]

I met Terry back around 1989 when he was recording an album. I didn't really know who he was at the time. We talked all the time. Even gave him a ride home one night as his ride couldn't make it. We listened to what I had on the radio and just talked about nothing all the way to his house. Wish I'd known who he was so I could have asked a few questions. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band!

[@davidfreeme7989]

When you think about it his story really changed the face of music imagine if he didn’t recommend plant and bonham

[@VG-iq8xq]

Holy cow what a story! Man did the space time continuum ever line up here! It would be super cool to have Jimmy recount this. Probably has I’m sure.

[@thekitowl]

Think I read that Jimmy said Terry had just signed a solo deal with Mickie Most & that’s why he couldn’t join. Terry was on the same bill as the Yardbirds & that’s where Jimmy heard him sing.

[@leescarlett2171]

Going to see Terry perform on the 2nd Oct’23 and meet him I can’t wait 😝

[@j_freed]

The title should say “uniting Led Zeppelin” because he did not join them, he put them together… What a fucking rockstar…

[@JoshAintSoCool]

Imagine being the best voice and lyricist of your time and being dealt a series of hands which direct you to obscurity. Except for real fans of course. He deserved better.

[@jaycoleman8062]

When ABC records went belly up right at the time of his next release...

[@tedwojtasik8781]

Jimmy: Well, what's he look like? Terry: He looks a good sight better than you! HA! Priceless. The man knows how to take the piss.

[@toddgaines9446]

As much as i like to fantasize about the what if...we can't look over the fact that Terry is responsible for Led Zeppelin as we know it. Thank you for capturing this on video.

[@graysongoates7452]

I dunno, steve marriott is ringing higher Imo.

[@tektoniks_architects]

After Terry turned down Jimmy Page for the New Yardbirds gig, he later turned down the lead singer role in Deep Purple after Evans quit that band. Terry could have been lead singer in either one of two of the great 79's bands.

[@TRUMP-2024-STF]

I say this all the time. Jimmy should thank terry everyday that he didn’t take the job..

[@dynjarren7523]

Alexander Stewart Exactly because LZ would have been nothing with this guy. He was lucky to find Plant and Bonzo and then they went to the Top.

[@vdLeo-je6os]

[@thekolt533]

What a talent this guy was and is but he did the right thing turning Jimmy down then on to Percy & Bonzo!!

[@breathemindfully1340]

Wow. Can you imagine turning down Zepplin? But Terry had 40 gigs with Stones, can see why he put wanted to put it off. Awful cool of him to recommend other members.

[@lennyvidal5693]

I like to know are there any other interviews or films about him I like to know if there any other films about Terry Reed or him speaking about old rock and roll when he first started playing

[@backspin6698]

Yep, I still think Led Zeppelin would be great with Terry Reid. He is up there with the best.

[@francishughes542]

Yes, i agree with you but NOT as good as with Plant, he was the perfect fit.

[@dennymcfastlane8530]

I seen Terry Reid a couple of times at the old Eastown Theater in Detroit~and was blown away by his performances. It is still remarkable that he never made the Big Time, because he sincerely deserved it. In my book, it will always be a rotten shame.

[@Crackerjack-toy]

I know he's not lying and he did tour with the Stones but that was in '69, after Zeppelin was off and running. The Stones didn't tour in '68.

[@impalaman9707]

I love hearing these geezers swap war stories---when they were still young and cool🤣🤣🤣

[@susanbradshaw339]

Terry Reid documentary on you tube ( and yes started touring at age 15 saw the letter to his folks excusing him from school to tour with the stones & cream. His friend Joe Bonomassa interviews him also.Soooo many rich stories heard him tell some on stage Bethesda MD.

[@Chafflives]

I can’t believe such a cool dude as Terry is wearing a tie. 😲

[@Allen.Mir3681]

So if it wasn’t for a Terry Reid, might’ve been different lead singer w/ Led Zeppelin, wow

[@danielerickson5175]

Cheap Trick were trying to get him before Robin Zander joined up with them. They always did a great version of “Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace”

The offer from Jimmy wasn’t to join “Led Zeppelin”, but to jam and form a band around that. There was no mighty Zep til Jimmy and Bonham clicked: THAT WAS LED ZEPPELIN....Jimmy, Robert and Bonzo with Jonesey.....

[@maddog8621]

Have you heard 'you need lovin' by Small Faces? It's 'Whole lotta love' but before LZ brought their's out by about 3 years. TBF, it's a Willie Dixon rip off. They were all at it then

[@francishughes542]

Jeez, Terry Reid can talk for 5 minutes or an hour, but he will NEVER be able to hide the fact that he fxxxxd up on a monumental level, what would Zepellin have sounded like with him instead of Plant ? ? ?.

Terry's 'River' album is far, far, far better than anything Led Zep ever did. Miles better live band too. He made the right choice.

[@aglo8252]

Bs! Jimmy was already onto it!

[@stratluvr]

everyone makes decisions that later we regret ,that's life anyway Terry made great music but he didn't know how to steal riffs like Jimmy and the boys , the first Zeppelin album and all of them afterwards were AMAZING and I don't care that they stole practically everything on those albums because they stole but made it better and I have some Terry Reid albums and no doubt he can sing but they don't hold up songwriting wise to Zeppelin or the Stones or Blind Faith , that said he has earned a place in rock history and seems like a very nice guy (but then again that could also explain why he didn't become bigger,it seems nice guys don't do well in rock music)
