Episode 1 - The Yardbirds, The New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin. · Dazed and confused: Led Zeppelin Bio.

0:01
Welcome to this episode of the premiere of the Einstein Confest podcast, a podcast
0:07
about the life and existence of led Zeppel Lene. When we talk about dred
0:24
Zeppelin, we have to talk about the Yarburts. The Yarberts were already a
0:30
band with a name made and right in the late 1960s. This band originally
0:41
had Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck from that band in the late' 68s.
0:52
In the fall of sixty- eight, to be more accurate, the band
0:56
already consisted at the end of March, roughly consisting of Kid Dralf who was
1:03
the lead vocalist and guitarist, Jimmy Page on guitar, Chris Drejan on bass
1:10
and Jim McCarthy on drums. They were already on their twenty- fifth tour
1:19
which were concerts from March twenty- eight in New York until June five in
1:30
Alabama, several members of this group were already developing projects apart from the band.
1:34
So this tour would be the last of them in Los Angeles, where
1:42
Jim and Kit decided they' d be done with the band. I mean
1:49
Jim McCarthy and Kid Draulth. Obviously, they, well, they said they
1:57
' ll end up with the band and Jimmy Pass remembers that before that happened,
2:02
a day before, he visited one of those people who read his hand
2:07
and told him that he would soon have to make a decision that would change
2:14
his life. Remember here. Okay. If you don' t know much
2:17
about Led Zeppelin, I' m going to tell you that this guitarist named
2:24
Jimmy Page has always had a very marked inclination, because of the esoteric.
2:29
So, that' s why he mentions that, one day before the members
2:34
of The Yarburts decided to put an end to the band, he had visited
2:38
a person who read his hands and told him that he would make decisions soon,
2:45
that those decisions would change his life. So in the sixty- eight,
2:49
while the Baby boomers enjoyed and dreamed of free love and changed the world,
2:59
the spear using all the rules of pre- established, already the music
3:06
mus scene had a revolution also that was just beginning. The previous year we
3:13
had seen how rock and roll is transformed by the Beatles into that type of
3:16
concept album called Jat Pepper long Hard Hurts Club Band, as Pink Floyd with
3:23
The Piper The Gates of Down, as The Doors with their self- titled
3:30
album the first of all that the Doors pulled out, as Frank Zappa and
3:35
the Mothers in invention with the album absolutely free, and as Jimmy Hendrix with
3:39
the album Exprince whit Aru, Experience and Axis with bod As Love, and
3:47
also the group Cream with Disral and Gears. Here, well, let'
3:54
s mention that Cream is already putting capton once he left the Jarburts. A
4:03
year later, following this emerging or trio- shaped bands that was the era
4:14
of Jimmy Hendricks, Experience and Cream, there were two other bands that had
4:18
begun to draw attention to the way they uploaded the decibels in their music.
4:27
Among them is Iron Borra Fly, which you may know here and is good.
4:32
I think the only song that we really know about them, which is
4:39
famous and that almost in the music bands that cover and everything is the only
4:46
one that is played by Iron Bourfry, which is inada da vida, which,
4:50
well, not for nothing, is one of the songs that has lasted,
4:54
because it sold nothing more and nothing less than approximately eight million copies in
4:59
the sixty- eight. Just another band called Vanilla Fuch, which with its
5:08
self- titled album in the sixty- seven, included cover of the Beatles,
5:13
including Tickety Wright and the New Rigby People, Ged Drady of Correg Myfield
5:19
and you Kimie Hanginon of Motown, Trio Holland dos Rin Holland. A little
5:30
after this, that Jeff Beck decides to free himself from the Jarbirts, Jimmy
5:39
Page' s partner and colleague formed along with him with Jeff Beck' s
5:47
band, which was made up of Jeff Beck properly Rott Stewart in the lead
5:57
vocals, Ron Wood on bass and Mikel on drums recorded this great album called
6:04
Truth, between May sixty- six and May sixty- eight, made in
6:10
August sixty- eight, which includes the track called El Bolero de beck O
6:16
Becks, a bolero that was written mainly by Jimmy Page. So, this
6:32
mixture of hard or heavy rock, which was played with a little bit of
6:40
psychedelia, was the path Jimmy Page was determined to follow. As he split
6:47
kidd ralf and McCarthy from the Jarvirts, he gave Jimmy Page an unexpected opportunity
6:56
to do that, that is, separate from the Jarburts sound. Remember that
7:00
one of the reasons Erick club Don left the Jarburts was because the Jerrbes began
7:04
to make music increasingly commercial and not so based on blues that it was originally
7:11
the style that attracted good Eric Clapton the most. Then he splits up.
7:18
Jeff beck gets meten a sound that' s a little bit more between psychedelic
7:25
and rocker, but not very convinced. Jef Deck leaves the band. There
7:30
is only one album where they are together and on that album, well,
7:34
Jimmy Page played bass, because we have to remember that Jimmy Page, first
7:39
of all, was a session musician, that is, before he belonged to
7:45
the Jarberts, he was just a studio musician. Already when they leave,
7:53
Jmmy Page and Drak Jean have the right to follow this adventure under the name
8:03
of the jarveurts. But they felt that this was really only to complete the
8:13
commitments the band had and in honor of this grouping. At the same time,
8:22
well, already the guitarist, that is, Jimmy Page, was beginning
8:30
to see that with whom he could form or reconform the jarverts and thought of
8:41
several not. He wanted to convince drummer BJ Wilson that he had contributed to
8:46
Joe Colker' s cover called whith arritl heathor My Friends, who made the
8:50
Beatles, that he did this in August. It entered in October of the
8:56
sixty- eight as a single. He wanted him to join him, but
9:00
Wilson was now a member of Procoldharrom, a band that had had this way
9:07
of presenting the symphonic rock they achieved with the Wildia Shade of Pall, and
9:13
this was getting stronger. Not then this band was definitely being recognized. So,
9:22
this drummer politely and politely. Almost elegantly told Jimmy Page not to.
9:31
So good. Jimmy Page was still in search of the members who made up
9:39
these already alberts and thought of Steve Marriot that he had worked as frontman of
9:46
the death Faces and that he had also, in a certain way, held
9:52
high esteem to form this group. And then Tierry raide that he had great
9:56
memories in him. In September the sixties, when Peter Jay and the New
10:01
Jay Walkers, in which Reed was a member and supported the Rolling Stones in
10:07
the Tourt along with the Jarverts. Anyway, he also told him that he
10:13
could not enter the band because he had signed with Mickey most as a solo
10:18
artist and had recorded his first album, called vang Bang your thry Rait Reed
10:22
suggested that he contact a singer who was admired by one named Robert Pland,
10:28
who was then a member of a band based on the Birmingham place that had
10:35
the name Ups Tweetle. In July twenty- sixty- eight, Page Draija
10:48
and Peter Rant, manager of the Jarburts at that time and future manager of
10:52
lep Zeppelin, traveled to Wassell College in West En at the spas in West
10:58
Midland, obviously in what is England, to see the band in concert and
11:03
they came to like it. So, some later, Jimmy invited Robert Plant
11:15
to his home in Riverside, in pen goron Bergshire, near the Tames,
11:20
and told him that his plans to form a black group were thus being somewhat
11:24
opposed. Plant explains to Paul Rise, that is, he wanted to say
11:35
that the Jarburts had had problems lately to the point that they were obviously working
11:45
more than anything in America. And then, Jimmy and he were really looking
11:52
forward to hiring Robert Plan because I knew he was very charismatic. Then he
12:00
said well, for if he managed to have it, it would be something
12:07
phenomenal as they shared the very similar musical taste that went from the fortsicodelic to
12:16
the bands of strings of the urban blues, the moty Warters and rock and
12:20
roll shok Berry. Then they quickly developed a trust beyond normal, thus forming
12:26
the basis for a solid friendship. Therefore, when Page told Plant that he
12:33
was looking for a drummer, he, obviously having already been rejected by Rolt
12:39
Harris, was already in compromises to make a tour of West Germany. Well,
12:48
he took advantage of Anthedom, Mitch Mitchell Bar and Bobby Graham. Plant,
12:56
however, did not hesitate to suggest to John Bonham, with whom he
13:01
had shared stage at some points in a band pardon named Collin Kings Neks and
13:07
the band of joy. John Vongham was really in the Team Rocht band.
13:13
At that time, Page went to see him in London and knew immediately that
13:18
he couldn' t do anything but Jimmy. But even though John Bongham said
13:22
that, Jimmy Page had already left him, he had filled his eye.
13:28
The last piece of this puzzle would be the bass player during the tour of
13:35
the last tour of the Jarvers in the United States, Chris Drek, had
13:37
already decided to leave the music and to see a rock and roll photographer,
13:45
John Paul Jones, whom Jimmy Page had already known years earlier, had played
13:50
with him in a number of recordings when both were session musicians. They both
13:58
had this idea of moving forward, as Jack shared with Jimmy Page. Then,
14:05
in the fall of the sixty- eight, the four most peter rand
14:11
musicians formed super Highe Music Incorporated in this sense to ensure that all artistic freedom
14:20
was on their side. And this is good to say about the hypothetical producers
14:28
that the band could have. Initial rehearsals began in August nineteen in a room
14:35
over a record store or a recording place at the studio on Jerrard Street,
14:45
in Soho district in London was wall to wall amplifiers all terribly old. He
14:58
remembers John Pol Jones Robert had to have heard that he was a session musician
15:07
and he was wondering what had happened. Everything. He was very old and
15:16
Jimmy told them well, well, since we' re here, we'
15:20
re going to play And well this John Paul Jones told him that he didn
15:26
' t know they knew and they started improvising with trakep Rowling and then they
15:33
didn' t. So, well, let' s just play the song
15:37
in Soila and count and the fourth, just like that, started to work.
15:46
This Led Zeppelin, right now, wasn' t called that yet,
15:52
they were the new Yarberts, because they were four totally different musicians. All
16:00
but Jimmy Page would now remain with the original Jarverts band. That is why
16:04
they made themselves call them New Jarverts and continued the tour of the Scandinavian lands
16:11
that were pending from the Jarvers, precisely as six dates had been cancelled.
16:18
Therefore, between September seven and the fifteenth of sixty- eight, they continued.
16:23
This tour was the last Yairverts tour they had already engaged to Kid Rut
16:29
and Yit McCarthy when they decided to leave. So, for these, for
16:33
these presentations, to get out in the Jarburts with the New Jarberts, they
16:41
played Trainkey, Prowling, Ikan, quid U Baby Dainston Confust that gives name
16:45
to this podcast, White smer Communication, Bray Down for Your Love You Shut
16:52
My Baby, Am Gonna leave You, ashlornand I Haviu in Hall Many more
16:56
times. There were three more presentations that were already dated and after that,
17:04
they would return home, that is, to Newcastle on October four. Then
17:11
they went to the Marquy in London in October eighteen and Liverpool at the University
17:18
of Liverpool in October nineteen. It wouldn' t be until October twenty-
17:25
five at Surray University, Gilford, that the band would give their first show
17:32
as Zeppelin Lets. Finally, maybe I knew. If you don' t
17:37
know, I' ll tell you. In the sixty- eight, Kidmoond,
17:41
the drummer for The Hoo, planned to start a new band and he
17:51
was also considered by Jimmy Page. Take a good look, drummer and bass
17:56
player John at Crystal were seriously considering being Hoo' s afternoon. How you
18:07
see him forming a new band with Jimmy Page and Steve Winwood in the presence
18:11
of Peter Ground from Peter Grant' s right hand, named Richard Cole Moon,
18:21
described the plan as a lead balloon and in twiste ironically added that the
18:27
group could be called lead Zeppeling. Peter grand later explained that he changed the
18:37
word Lead for Lett, because to bolir the confusion with Leat as that type
18:49
of terminology that was not sixty used for other types of situations. Not then
18:59
how do you see and from the rubble of the Yarburts arise the New Yarberts
19:06
and at the end of that tour they are already formed as Led Zeppelin,
19:15
that a band originally was to form between John at twistel Kidmond ste Winwood and
19:26
Jimmy pageh but it was instead Robert Plant, John Monham and John Paul Jones,
19:34
who would form The New Jarbrts. And the last concert, on October
19:41
25, they would already be known as Led Zeppelin. Thank you so far.
