If there's ever been album that masterfully demonstrates " Less is More " this is the one! A true Rock Masterpiece! PLAY LOUD

less? hardly. "less" from that same era would be a band like the Velvet Underground. this is not to detract from Zeppelin -- that band just defines excess, though, musical and otherwise.

I was 9 years old in 1969 so I can't say when was the moment I first heard Led Zeppelin because by the time I was specifically interested in them I was used to hearing them everywhere in Denver, CO, and they had just come out with Physical Graffiti. Somehow in Denver high schools and junior high schools Led Zeppelin were understood to be the true Lords of Rock and unsurpassed to this day. My parents had countless fights with me and my older brother because we couldn't keep the volume down and they hated rock music. They were Burt Bacharach types.

Nice story 😁

Pages brilliant guitar mastery just got going ---stunning band !

Thank you for mentioning the Flying V…most people miss that. You could have used one of the famous photos of Keith Richards playing the actual Flying V that Jimmy used on “You Shook Me” at the famous 1969 Hyde Park Stones gig. There was no Maestro Echoplex or delay in front of the amp on the first album. All delay and reverb was done with EMT plate reverb. Roger Mayer did not modify any of Page’s Yardbirds or Led Zeppelin era pedals. Mayer only modified a very rudimentary light fuzz pedal that Page used for a time during his pre-Yardbirds session days. The photos you have with the Vox UL-4120 were taken during the first session for the second album which included “Whole Lotta Love”, “La La” and “What Is and What Should Never Be”. Again, no other amp besides the modified Supro Coronado 1690T was used to record the first album. One overdubbed guitar on “How Many More Times” was recorded by overdriving the direct signal from the guitar through the mixing desk which then drove an an amp (almost certainly the Supro) which then in turn drove a Leslie speaker without the rotating speakers engaged…the Leslie cabinet was then mic’ed. Then another outlier was the solo on “Good Times Bad Times” which had the Supro amp driving the fast speed Leslie as was a fairly normal recording technique.

The quote was from Keith Moon.

Plant didn't get writing credits due to an existing publishing contract he had issues with. (he signed before Zeppelin)

Great video and Led Zeppelin 1 is my favourite Zeppelin album.

I was given that turquoise zepplin as well as the second and third album from my uncle....the sound quality from the first pressings are incredible.

Great video, thank you for making and sharing

Peter Grant made all the difference for this band. He took them in the right direction and he made sure NOBODY ripped them off under any circumstances. He learned from the mistakes all the other British band managers made. Like the Beatles' Brian Epstein!

Thanks. Ate it up.ahhh

The first Led Zeppelin rehearsal was August 12

Interesting stuff. Thanks for this video.

Good work ... Still waiting on the Doc Becoming Led Zeppelin.

Allegedly the Vox amp was a rare UL730 solid-state/tube hybrid, also used on the Beatles Sgt Pepper album.

i think the 12 inch speaker was a pre rola celestion g12h 30watt 75hz

A Rolling Stones top 500 list is as important as a newspaper used in a cat litter box. Rock on ZOSO!

The Slingerland Kit was blue. There is a color photograph of the drum kit for the Marquee Oct 68 show.

damn haven’t heard the Singerland name in a looong time lol

I wish we could know more about the mics and micing techniques for this album. I'm seeing U67s, and what looks like a Beyer M88 on Jimmy's Supro in one shot.

Fender introduced Brazilian Rosewood on their guitars and Precision Bass around April-May of ‘59. That said, the “dragon Tele” could be late ‘59 or maybe even a ‘60. No biggie…but I’m a Fender geek….sorry.

‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’ was *also* a cover, and the original writer was only acknowledged and compensated starting in 1990. So funny how that wasn’t mentioned, even though you guys did get into Dazed & Confused being a cover. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_I'm_Gonna_Leave_You?wprov=sfti1#Joan_Baez_rendition

Clapton didn’t recommend Page, according to Page. Clapton didn’t know they were already looking. Page referred Beck, as to not risk his relationship with Clapton.

The Gibson J-200 was owned by producer Mickey Most.

Didn't Page also borrow one from Big Jim Sullivan ??

Diggin' recording details as avid Zepper. Guessin' recording engineers are especially intrigued...possibly inspired to experiment with mic placement, amp tweaking, etc... Kudos for excellent research and production value! Keep IT GOin'. . .

more so imo

My controversial opinion: METAL GUITAR began ...... and ENDED ...... with the first 3 Led Zeppelin records. Everything since then is just different varieties of ........... imitation. NOTHING in guitar today is heavy by comparison, no matter how downtuned it is. (Maybe Zep was down 1/2 step?). BIG downtuning simply means .... you can't deliver "heavy" guitar. Jimmy invented heavy guitar 50+ years ago, kids. Listen.😋

I absolutely agree with this but I’d also add Zeppelin 4 to that list with the first 3. Those first 4 albums changed everything that followed ….and not just guitar but vocals and drumming also. Cheers ✌️

ah man. I love where you heart is but theres so many heavier bands than Zeppelin. Sabbath for one. in my personal opinion, Sevendust is one of the heaviest bands and they are tighter live than Zeppelin was. Of course Bonzo had a BAC of .350 at any given time and jimmy page was riding the white horse lol. Thats actually one the things I like about Pages live performances. He’s so out of it and the rest of the band just has to go with it. Its a sound unique from the studio albums, like hearing it for the first time again All that being said, my 69 year old dad would definitely agree with you

Friday morning coffee, and a new video with great pictures and recording details from MMO. This day is starting off GREAT! : ) Too bad every band didn't have a feared manager, enough loot to self record their own album, and of course the talent of LZ. Rolling Stone Magazines editor Yawn Wiener (Jann Wenner) is a joke. He has RUINED Cleveland Ohio's Rock Hall of Shame. Being disrespected by him is a badge of honor. Just ask McCartney and Grand Funk Railroad. Keep up the good work MMO.

Zeppelin III is their best album, but Zeppelin I has a sonic boom quality unlike anything else in rock. The opening and closing tracks are monstrous.

3:35-4:00 Yeah,there shouldn't have been heavy Reverb on this track.You can tell that was a mid-60's Trend he was on.Wasn't needed for this song.

Cos, he's the least seen on stage

Another album thats a cover album. Its cool for a first album, to get noticed,but page using this blue print on every album they did,.most album's they made.

Rolling Stone proving to be trash as early as 1969.

Page is far better than Beck and Clapton. He can do it all. Beck plays the same way most of the time. Clapton puts me to sleep vs Page. They were older and appeared first, Zeppelin blows away any Yardbirds fluff.
