Transcript
- 0:00This is Dainsten confust the podcast about Led Zeppelin. The band had not stopped
- 0:19traveling for about two years and decided to take a vacation, but it was
- 0:25work vacation. Robert Pland and Jimmy Page, along with some of their assistants,
- 0:31decided to rent a luxurious cabin in the Welsh mountains. The place was
- 0:35called bron Your, a name that would not only give title to a composition,
- 0:45but was also a set of pieces based on folk roots that would be
- 0:54included in their next albums. Originally an idea was to rest, but they
- 0:58joined with a couple of acoustic guitars and at night around the fireplace and some
- 1:02glasses of whiskey, they started to play and sing. In this way new
- 1:07melodies began to be born in bro Your Jimmy Page was really known by Robert
- 1:14Pland. It was not the same to be there in the midst of so
- 1:21much peace as to live together in the trageneo of the tours. The songs
- 1:23that came from there indicated the band, the group, the direction the group
- 1:29would follow. From there forward let Zeppelin Thirteen would be a very different album
- 1:33from the previous two. The preponderance of acoustic instruments was dominant. There were
- 1:38echoes of music from the North American west coast, from bands like Buffalo Springfield
- 1:45and Burds, and soloists like Johnny Mitchell, a new melodic sense that combined
- 1:49perfectly with the hard and rough rock they had been performing before, with a
- 1:53greater freshness and renewed spirit. Topics followed were like the Edmiran sond and Celebration
- 2:02Day, or the dramatic intense blues of minor tonality called Sean Civing Loving You,
- 2:07but also many more serene ones, such as Tangeraine or Dart' s
- 2:12dh Way, of which John Paul Jones said well came out after listening a
- 2:17lot to Jenny Mitchell on the road. There were also some experiments in the
- 2:23arrangements, especially the string orchestrations. By cleaning the modal style in Frience background,
- 2:30which would be the much more elaborate Cashmer song by Fysical Graffity of nineteen
- 2:36hundred and seventy- five. With all the time available, the group was
- 2:39able to work quietly on the recording, for which the four members settled in
- 2:44a hamsfear mansion in England and when they created the mobile studio of the Rolling
- 2:47Stones, they had special that good house called headc Grass John, because Jones
- 2:53answers absolutely nothing. It was a huge wet empty mansion. Everyone thinks it
- 2:59was luxuries, but no. The only good thing I had was that it
- 3:02was so unwelcome that I forced you to record as quickly as possible in order
- 3:07to get out of there. With all that, remember that they could record
- 3:10That the Ways sitting on the grass, and that was a very nice thing
- 3:14to do. While the album was being processed, letd Zeppeling performed triumphantly at
- 3:17the British Bath Festival at last recorded by the massive acetation of his own homeland.
- 3:22Then they started another tour of North America with absolute fills at the Mason
- 3:28Square Gardent in New York. Everything was going on wheels and it was supposed
- 3:31that the third album would have a major success, but it wasn' t.
- 3:37Led Zeppelin Tres was the least sold of the group' s first five
- 3:40albums. Media criticism this time people didn' t support it as much as
- 3:45the first two. Let Zeppelin became acoustic, cried scandalized, a press headline
- 3:51in the United States and although time has put in place everyone, today the
- 3:54album is appreciated a great stir, at that time it was a relative failure
- 4:00and it was a severe blow to the members of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy.
- 4:05Ten years later, in an interview, when we recorded Zeppelin Tres, Crobis
- 4:10and Land Nash had just formed and that kind of music was still not well
- 4:15received, as in several pieces. We used acoustic guitars. Suddenly some accused
- 4:18us of traitors and Jimmy Pace wondered about Christ where they have their heads and
- 4:26ears. They don' t realize that there were three songs with acoustic guitars
- 4:30on the first album and two on the second. Still, Jimmy thought it
- 4:36was his most mature job up to that point. For him it was a
- 4:40very good record, but obviously, people usually expect something preconceived and that'
- 4:45s why they were disappointed. Him. He advised them that when they approached
- 4:48a new album they would forget what they were hearing and forget about the band
- 4:55called Led Zeppelin, which is just listening without prejudice to what was on the
- 5:00album in particular, and despite the reviews. Robert Robert plant Sorry I was
- 5:08optimistic now that they had made Led Zeppelin three. The sky for him was
- 5:12the limit. The album shows that they are capable, that they were able
- 5:16to change and do as many things as they wanted. That meant that there
- 5:19are limited possibilities and addresses in which they could go. They weren' t
- 5:25stuck and the album was proof of it. This is how Led Zeppeling faced
- 5:34in those years criticism and fans that the truth was told. Many times,
- 5:41fans take so much of a band that they even feel more important than the
- 5:47band in question. And this is a very strange thing, because the band
- 5:56or bands always seek to take out material that suits them, that they convince
- 6:01them, that they cause that emotion to play live and that they themselves feel
- 6:08the passion of being in the studio recording it expressing their art and good,
- 6:17as well as and there have been many people who stop following a band because
- 6:23it changes a little their style, because it reinvents itself from time to time.
- 6:31There are also new followers who know the band and by accepting that new
- 6:36material and ignoring the previous one, when they discover the previous material plus the
- 6:42one that had brought them in the first instance, because they make their admiration
- 6:46capital and fans become a little bit wider in their acceptance of what the band
- 6:53can create. He didn' t make those who from the beginning started and
- 6:59who later have already brought those who created the music that drove them crazy at
- 7:08concerts Jimmy Page has always been very criticized because he himself produced the led Zeppling
- 7:18albums, but he also had the criticism of those who initially sought to listen
- 7:26to Jarburts and then the New Yarburts were already beginning to create reviews because they
- 7:33didn' t sound exactly like the Jarburts. And all those kinds of situations
- 7:36already had Jimmy Page used to all this kind of wavering from the public and
- 7:43the press. That' s why he followed and followed the four firm in
- 7:50his belief of creating music that would convince them and they would soon be convincing
- 8:00more than one with the next album. I am and or Tis. I
- 8:03hope you' re liking this podcast. Dered Zeppelin apologizes a little bit for
