Led Zeppelin(I) – Led Zeppelin




Led Zeppelin(I) – Led Zeppelin

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Led Zeppelin. I can go on for days about this band. The band comprises of Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums).

They have inspired me and million others to pick up the guitar. For the immature crowd out there I personally rank them way above Pink Floyd, so now you know how brilliant these guys were.

This was the debut album of the legendary band “Led Zeppelin” and this was a live album with a few overdubs in it. It was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios (within 36 hours) in London and released on Atlantic Records on 12 January 1969.

The album had fantastic tracks with skilled production and arrangements. Led Zeppelin had thunderous volume, sledgehammer beat, and edge-of-mayhem arrangements that made it the most influential and successful heavy-metal pioneer. From the chunky, hard riff that opens “Good Times, Bad Times” Led Zeppelin introduced the music world to something entirely new. “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” perfectly showcases Robert Plant’s staggering vocal prowess and the groups’ brilliant arranging and playing.”Dazed & Confused” and “How Many More Times” give the album it’s epic feel and are perfect examples of how the blues informed and influenced the band from the very beginning
Individually they were all great musicians but together they were a power house packed with smoking riffs, heavy drums, groovy bass lines and bluesy high ranged versatile mystic vocals.

Believe me, you have to be a bit open and mature their music and they will completely blow your mind.
