- 0:02Led Zeppelin is one of my four favorite bands of all time, a great
- 0:07influence on the popular music of the last century and what goes from the present.
- 0:11A story full of ups and downs, but at all times directed and
- 0:15coordinated by a guitarist, visionary and creative Jimmy Page, who, together with
- 0:20Robert Pland, John Paul Jones and John Bunnam, created a band that,
- 0:24according to drummer Kid Mound and Johannan was either bassist of The Hoo, was
- 0:28destined to collapse as a lead Zeppelin subscribe and like this podcast dedicated to DT
- 0:33Upplan. I' m Andry Ortiz and I appreciate your preference. That'
- 0:41s right, thanks for preferring to be here listening to led zepple Line.
- 0:46This story of led Zeppring is one of the most curious stories in rock music,
- 0:51Ella who is a British band, that you literally his most fruitful time
- 1:00between the sixty- nine and the seventy- three, but that his story
- 1:06spans from the sixty- eight to the eighty. They are considered and have
- 1:15still been considered one of the bands with the best rock and roll act in
- 1:22the rock era. Its four members, as I already mentioned in the introduction,
- 1:27James Patrick Page, born on January 9, plays the electric guitar,
- 1:34acoustic guitar, the pedal- steel guitar, the mandolin, the banjo.
- 1:40He makes choirs, plays the ending and also makes tape effects. Robert Anthony
- 1:47Plant was born on August 20th of a thousand nine hundred and forty- eight,
- 1:53the lead vocalist. He makes choirs, plays the harmonica to the congas,
- 1:57the pandero and occasionally very lp ns Finally, the guitar. John Paul
- 2:02Jones, born John Bowin, was born on January 3, 1940. He
- 2:09plays the electric bass, the electric guitar, the undisturbed bass, the piano,
- 2:16the electric organ, the meno trun the synthesizer, the mandolin, the
- 2:21conga, the acoustic guitar, the guitar, the lapstiel, the flute and
- 2:25makes choirs. Also John Henry Vonham born in May thirty- one of a
- 2:30thousand nine hundred forty- eight and sadly is the only death of the band.
- 2:37The twenty- fifth of a thousand nine hundred and eighty plays the drums,
- 2:44the congas, the gong, the iceberg, the tambourine and makes choirs.
- 2:50This band began in August of' 68. I upload his first performance
- 2:57as let Zeppelin in October twenty- five and his debut album was in the
- 3:04United States in January of sixty- nine, to finish his career on September
- 3:0825, 1980, when Letze Brint released an album already as an epilogue or
- 3:19farewell type on December 4, 1980, although the band was extended for at
- 3:27least twelve years, only in the few weeks after John Monham' s death,
- 3:35as they no longer had any interest in continuing. As I mentioned,
- 3:45in the case of John Monham it is sad, but the band had their
- 3:55last great album, called physics or graffiti, in February of the seventy-
- 4:02five, and then Outdoor' s intro album was recorded at the end of
- 4:09the seventy- eight and put up for sale until the summer of the seventy
- 4:15- nine Letzeppin had it more than five or six years of maximum productivity and
- 4:23then already passed to the annals of history, the recordings that were successes and
- 4:32that they promoted and that made managers want to have them in their presentations because
- 4:39it was a great event and gave too much framework of profit. There were
- 4:46also those famous collectors or as the tagsmans are called those who are tax collectors,
- 4:56They were with their sharp eyes so that such all they generated. I
- 5:01have always thought that the government and taxes are nothing but leeches who take advantage
- 5:06of the work of others to enrich themselves, divert those resources to their personal
- 5:13interests and leave countries bankrupt. But well, in the case of Letzebrin,
- 5:17they were a real, real show to hire, because their shows were amazing.
- 5:29And well, in that sense there were always all kinds of opportunists willing
- 5:33to take a slice of what Ed Zepprint represented, although they were a band
- 5:41that had too many sales. Many of Led Zeppling' s albums were made
- 5:48in Britain and had been number one in this regard. There are many British
- 6:00bands that have many records sold in Britain, many pedron recordings sold in Britain,
- 6:06including Queen or Ics, Dr Strades and the Spice Geors. Les Zepeling
- 6:13made relatively few singles for the band, as they did not like it.
- 6:18It was a policy they had of not throwing simple. Everything they did and
- 6:24all the brands they achieved were achieved with albums, something very similar to the
- 6:29Boots. Although the Beatles did make it simple, those singles were not mostly
- 6:34included, they were not included in the album already released in form, that
- 6:41is, it was like a pre- release of the album. The typical
- 6:45thing was to release a single with two or three songs maximum and then release
- 6:51the album let Zebling. They had that policy of not throwing any kind of
- 6:58single. Only Overdy Hilson Lighthouse Way has even a video. Also in the
- 7:08sense of the videos. Letzeblint wasn' t very close to making promotional videos
- 7:15either. Everything was based on shows and concerts like The sund Remaine de sn
- 7:19which is a recorded concert and in the form of a film. They had
- 7:25eight studio albums between sixty and nine thousand seventy- nine. In addition to
- 7:31the one I tell you about the Ston Remase concert by Saim and Coda,
- 7:38which is the last album already released without John Bongham, as he had already
- 7:45passed away. There are box sets from ninety- ninety- three, the
- 7:48BBCD sessions from ninety- seven, the small days and the last days in
- 7:53very original packaging, all very nice. According to the American Association of Recording
- 8:01Industry, Lead Zeppeling sold one hundred and eleven five million albums in the United
- 8:07States in two thousand nine, only behind beatles, Gard Brooks and Elvis Presley,
- 8:16but ahead of eagles Billy joel Pink Floyd and Barbaras Strason. In the
- 8:26U S market. Well, le d Zeppeling had extraordinary sales. One of
- 8:33the few singles in this case he Heywat Caney Do the B side of indirand
- 8:39Sound was the only Led Zepprint song made in a forty- five revolutions per
- 8:46minute format. Then Le Zepling could be said to have sold about two hundred
- 8:54and fifty to three hundred million recordings worldwide. They had that non- simple
- 9:03policy. There are very few really and many are made more than anything by
- 9:11labels, not by Led Zeppling' s decision or not with Led Zepplint'
- 9:15s full blessing. These include Hold Lord of Emirates, Black Dog, Dier
- 9:20Maker, Trumple Underfood and full The Raine. All of them were successes among
- 9:26the forty in the United States. However, there are no simple promotional ones.
- 9:31If it ever trumple under Food, which was made in Britain, it
- 9:35' s the only one made over there. Jimdy Page and Peter Rand saw
- 9:43the commercial opportunities in this trend of selling the albums and that they were more
- 9:50profitable than the singles. Of course, in the matter of the artistic respectively,
- 9:56they did not have to create singles songs and the pop market PEP.
- 10:03Jimmy Page used to say that it had been the kiss of death for Led
- 10:07Zeppeling to throw singles, because they didn' t want to perform those simples
- 10:16and fill them with simples and be just a band of singles. They didn
- 10:20' t want to be a band with a complete vision, a band that
- 10:26had this situation of a premium product and that people realized that what they were
- 10:33buying was an album full of good songs. However, the most popular recording,
- 10:43the most popular album was Led Zepeling four, which is credited with selling
- 10:48twenty- three million copies in the United States alone since one thousand nine hundred
- 10:54and seventy- one. This is a little below that of the i frogs
- 10:58the album Great Success of seventy- one seventy- five and the album Michael
- 11:03Jackson of Thriller, as well as being on Pink Floyd, The Wall,
- 11:09Acds, Bucking Black Clark Brooks, Lobl Life and Chanight twind com on Over.
- 11:16This is little by little what Led Zeppelin has generated throughout history and probably
- 11:20between thirty and forty million copies of led Zepelin four have been sold internationally.
- 11:31Now let' s talk a little bit about the strengths and weaknesses of each
- 11:37member. One of the clichés that, according to those classic rock bands,
- 11:41are the chemical or chemical or alchemical mix of the personalities and abilities of their
- 11:48members, resulting in a creative and magical music, in particular the only thing
- 11:58that a really heavy band that said that one of what they really were heavy
- 12:05music was Robert Plant while John Paul Jones had said that none of them had
- 12:11the same collection of recordings, that is, that there were many influences among
- 12:18all that they heard. And that' s what possibly gave this strength and
- 12:30weakness. And here we' re going to talk a little bit about John
- 12:33Paul Jones, since he was the one with the best musical background and obviously
- 12:43he was disciplined and versatile. He was raised in music in a family full
- 12:48of music and had served as an apprentice in the London studio since those distant
- 12:54years och sixty pardon, an instrumental multri, instrumentalist with very good knowledge of
- 13:03bass piano, organ, guitar, mandolin and strings, as well as flutes
- 13:07and winds. Wow was very fluid in what was music, in the musical
- 13:15river and orchestration arrangements. He was also a professional at Led Zeppelin. Despite
- 13:22its decline, we could call it not influence or image, but rather a
- 13:33low profile within the presentations. He' s the one behind many of the
- 13:39hit songs like Good Times, Bat Times, York Times, Gun Accoum,
- 13:45Hart Breaker, Celebration Day, Cins ibl Loving You Black Dog, Don'
- 13:48t Cut Trumple Underfood, Tengers, Gon and All My Love without his skills.
- 13:54Led Zeppeling, who is here would have been a bunch of English bulls
- 14:00around three chords with some very simple riffs, he has that jazz soul he
- 14:09had among his heroes Ray Charles Charles Manjus. He told a schoolmate susanthast that
- 14:16bands are often formed by people who listen to the same or a single type
- 14:24of music and that in this sense, they lacked a variety of listening to
- 14:31different styles. But since Led Zepplint was someone who was full of different childhoods,
- 14:41for example John Paul Jones, he is involved with bands such as sony
- 14:46Outh, Badhall, Software, Dianman Gallas. Although the Air Arrim An he
- 14:54mission Lend is a credibility they have around music, the fact of their influence
- 15:03and the way in which they also embellish the works of other artists. He
- 15:11is one of those who makes the team of the silent or the quiet,
- 15:16like George Harrison, Bill Wyman, John in Twistla John Paul Jones received less
- 15:20credit in his group' s successes than he should really be recognized, because,
- 15:28for example, Star With to Heaven and Cashmer usually have a sound and
- 15:33identity that doesn' t have much to do with the lyrics, but much
- 15:37musically. Speaking. It is very auditory, it is very perceptive this and,
- 15:46for example, the album Into the Outdoor is Led Zeppelin' s less
- 15:52powerful album and even though he was behind scenes, this album is predominantly composed
- 15:58by John Poul Jones and Robert plant and well they in their problems, which
- 16:10we will see more in front of and in their day to day of the
- 16:14songs, we can realize here that John Paul Jones had this tendency to challenges
- 16:23to create a high quality of rock music to give him this unique value in
- 16:34Led Zeppelin in the next episode next Sunday, I will tell you a little
- 16:41bit about the weaknesses and strengths of the members that follow and as well as
- 16:48curious data of Led Zepperint little by little we will unravel all this that is
- 16:55Le Zeppelin. I' m and from Ortiz. Thank you. I hope
- 16:57you liked this moment what' s going to be pococas See you next Sunday
- 17:03See you later.
