• 0:01
  Welcome to the podcast' s confusion about Ed Zeppelin and following the story,
• 0:06
  half of the group was ready, but two essential parts, voice and drums,
• 0:13
  were still missing. Jimmy Page had thought of kit kit railh Sorry,
• 0:20
  the former Jarburts singer, even though their alcoholism was affecting the band. Jimmy
• 0:31
  considered him, because he thought he was a good singer and because I don
• 0:37
  ' t know if, unfortunately or fortunately, Kid Raulth didn' t care
• 0:44
  about the offer, but he recommended to a Birmingham singer who was in a
• 0:51
  band called hobst tweety Houstrittle I' m sorry, accompanied by Mager Peter Rant,
• 0:57
  who knew the guitar player' s potential, that is, Jimmy Page,
• 1:03
  they went to voice and even though the dissolution of the Sharvers had already
• 1:07
  taken place. Page decided to continue with Peter Rant and asked him to go
• 1:15
  to the Midlands region to listen to that stranger named Robert Plant. Jimmy says
• 1:23
  that when he first heard Robert Plant, he thought it was strange that that
• 1:29
  boy or that guy who has a pretty twisted personality. It was not possible
• 1:38
  for such a prodigious voice to remain anonymous. He saw him perform at a
• 1:45
  student bar in front of no more than twelve people. It was that kind
• 1:49
  of place where the group is alone to liven up, to write down people
• 1:55
  ' s laughter and conversations. Anyway, he thought rock watching was fantastic.
• 2:00
  His voice had an exceptional and very distinctive quality. He asked if I am
• 2:06
  endose the group and although it took a few days to give him the answer,
• 2:10
  he ended up accepting it. In fact, until then, Robert Plant
• 2:14
  still didn' t know, he' s not quite clear what kind of
• 2:20
  music they were going to play. Many of the times when groups are going
• 2:24
  to play, they are playing and they are really unknown, this kind of
• 2:30
  situation happens where it is really only some take it as noise or background music
• 2:43
  and everything else is, therefore, the waves that each one of those who
• 2:47
  hear or the audience that is there brings. Only a few go with the
• 2:53
  interest of seeing the band. The others are going to hook up, have
• 2:57
  a drink or have fun, but putting the band aside. Jimmy Page asked
• 3:05
  Robert Plant if he would like to join this new group. The answer took
• 3:12
  a while. I didn' t know exactly what they were going to play,
• 3:16
  if hard rock, blues, psychedelic, rock, pop, etcetera.
• 3:20
  But Jimmy Page, as he listened to Robert Plant, had a very clear
• 3:27
  idea of what he was going to accomplish. Plant traveled to London with Jimmy
• 3:32
  at his house. On the banks of the temosis they explored their musical tastes.
• 3:38
  They heard countless things, from Bury Guy to streamg Bands, where moty
• 3:46
  Waters to Elvis Presley. Suddenly, Jimmy Page released an album by Joan Baez
• 3:52
  and chose a special track, the dramatic version of the American singer Babe Anthana
• 3:58
  le Vieu an old folk song and told Robert I want a band capable of
• 4:02
  playing a song like this, but with a strong arrangement, with a lot
• 4:06
  of light and, at the same time, with a lot of darkness.
• 4:12
  All Led Zeppeling fans know well that ba band Analliview is the second drack of
• 4:16
  the band' s first album and if you don' t give me bonna
• 4:20
  that I' m telling you it' s a song that' s actually
• 4:25
  very father. I' m gonna take a good look at the sound he
• 4:29
  makes on the guitar does something or other. So, well, if you
• 4:54
  ' ve heard this song, it' s got that cut on the little
• 4:59
  one right now. Well, I thought I' d play the guitar a
• 5:01
  little bit so you' d listen and more or less what the song I
• 5:06
  ' m talking about. And besides, well, I don' t play
• 5:10
  it, just fine also by Cooper Wright' s you and I don'
• 5:13
  t want to be taken away from the episode and that' s why,
• 5:19
  but that song of abandonal le you start is song number two and plan not
• 5:24
  only contributed to his voice, but also to the rhythms section, because,
• 5:27
  knowing what a drummer was needed, he recommended to a friend of him from
• 5:32
  that same area, where he presented himself someone named John Bonham. Robert Plan
• 5:38
  remembers that moment very clearly says Jimmy needed a drummer who could mark the times
• 5:44
  and really know how to play. And the only one he knew and had
• 5:47
  ended up with some regularity was bons Of Bonham. He promised Jimmy he'
• 5:55
  d track him down, so he went to Oxford, where John lived at
• 6:00
  the time. He went looking for him for several days until he found him
• 6:04
  and said easily Mira you have to join the new Yarburts, but he did
• 6:13
  not seem very convinced and answered him well. I' m fine here,
• 6:15
  or it' s not an old interview. In an interview, John Bonham
• 6:19
  would mention that there were many things to consider before accepting for those days.
• 6:25
  He had a safe job playing Contiam Rose and earning forty pounds a week.
• 6:29
  Besides, there was a chance of going to play with Joe Cooker. However,
• 6:33
  he had already met Robert Plant at the Clding Kings Nakes and the band
• 6:43
  of Joy and liked what he was doing. Besides, there was Jimmy Page,
• 6:47
  who was a highly respected musician. Therefore, the good Bonghom accepted and
• 6:54
  thus formed the band of The Ney and Garburt. Remember that the name Led
• 7:01
  Zeppelin did not yet exist for this time, even though there were already the
• 7:05
  four members. But it was something that would take a little longer. Still
• 7:15
  rehearsals and maybe some presentations would be named after The New Jarbrts, but that
• 7:21
  was going to change. I' m Andy Ortiz. Thank you for listening
• 7:28
  to this episode. Remember that they will be so short or so long according
• 7:31
  to the information I am sharing and according to what is presented for each stage
• 7:36
  of Led Zeppelin' s history. I' ll see you here on the
• 7:45
  next broadcast See you later.
