  Welcome to Daiston confust the podcast about Red Zeppelin and their story continues already with
• 0:06
  the four musicians clearly divided into two halves. On the one hand, Page
• 0:18
  and sophisticated London Johnes, who had worked for years with the best rock and
• 0:23
  roll, the English, on the other, Planny Bonham, timid provincials who
• 0:31
  never thought they would ever come out of the darkness of those little scenarios.
• 0:36
  However, a single essay was enough for everyone to realize that together they had
• 0:40
  a whole future ahead of them. The first time the four of them met
• 0:46
  to rehearse in the basement, on ll street or maybe Gerard street. Well,
• 0:51
  in either of those two directions, John Paul Jones remembers that they were
• 1:00
  surrounded by a mountain of amplifiers, and so it all started with the typical
• 1:06
  question which one knows, because no one knew which one knew each of them.
• 1:10
  At that they were until Jimmy said ok, there' s a jarber
• 1:11
  song called trake kety rolling, which is a basic blues of two chords.
• 1:18
  They agreed to touch that page. He counted one or two three and it
• 1:26
  was literally an explosion of music an extense moment that worked perfectly from the first
• 1:32
  note. Chris Wells, who was then a reporter for the Melody Maker,
• 1:36
  remembers having seen one of the group' s first performances Les gave in the
• 1:42
  markim It must have been at the end of the sixty- eight and it
• 1:46
  seems to him that they were presented as The New Jarbrts. There were very
• 1:49
  few people who could move around without problems. Almost the entire audience consisted of
• 1:53
  musicians mostly of drummers attracted by the fame of Jian Mongham, who was said
• 1:57
  to have revolutionized the way of hitting the drums, and it was true.
• 2:02
  No one touched with that power. On the other hand, the group sounded
• 2:07
  incredibly integrated and compact, very well structured. They were like the rock equivalent
• 2:12
  to a big bandy jazz. When he started playing in London, at first,
• 2:16
  the band was seen as a set of cabarets bars. Nothing else listened
• 2:22
  to them in England, and that' s what I did that Jimmy and
• 2:25
  the others decided to leave the country. Obviously, this well, it wouldn
• 2:34
  ' t be easy because they couldn' t attract the followers of the old
• 2:38
  Jarberts. The new jarvers didn' t have that one didn' t catch
• 2:45
  their attention. There was no point in keeping that name and it was important
• 2:50
  to look for a new one. Jimmy Page remember then that months ago,
• 2:53
  when they were trying to make the band with Jeff Beck, Nicky Hopkins and
• 2:57
  Kid Mon his East his gi or in jokes that they were called or that
• 3:02
  they would be called Led Zeppelin, because the way they were going, the
• 3:06
  sure thing was they were going to sink like a lead zeppeling. But the
• 3:09
  new ship hadn' t sunk and Page thought it was a good name at
• 3:15
  the end of the day. They just changed the letter to the original word
• 3:22
  is Leeds. He took off his to say LEDs. And well, both
• 3:28
  lead and Led' s words mean lead, and so Led Zeppeline was born.
• 3:34
  The idea and ironic is of a light object floating in the air like
• 3:39
  a Zeppelin, but it is made of lead. It' s something very
• 3:44
  similar to the concept of other bands like Iron Bor Fly. It was just
• 3:47
  a joke and they needed a joke to laugh, because the situation in England
• 3:53
  was terrible for them simply did not accept them. That' s why they
• 3:59
  made you try your luck. Somewhere else. They went there to the United
• 4:03
  States. In sixty- eight they paid$ 1500 a night, while the
• 4:09
  Jarvis were given two thousand five hundred, but they even played for two hundred
• 4:15
  dollars. However, American people liked them and that encouraged them to follow.
• 4:23
  At least they weren' t doing as bad as in England. That first
• 4:28
  American tour had everything they could not do thanks to Peter Rant, the manager,
• 4:33
  who had several dates hired for the Jeff Beg Group and to replace it,
• 4:40
  decided to recommend the new group he was running. Led Zeppeling then joined
• 4:43
  Vanilla Futch' s tour as a cheerleading band and thus became known to the
• 4:49
  audience who was accustomed to a quieter and more introspective music. But for the
• 4:58
  members of the foursome or threesomes and we want to call it that because he
• 5:04
  is a vocalist and three musicians, rather or a baccalian with a trio of
• 5:12
  musicians, which is the same. The experience was extraordinary to them, especially
• 5:15
  to John Pol Jones, Plant and Bunham, who had never traveled to North
• 5:21
  America. However, these last two Plans and Vongham soon suffered the nostalgia of
• 5:28
  their country and homeland, not the hazy Midlands, the gloomy Black county nothing
• 5:34
  to do with the solera California. The first place they showed up was whisky
• 5:40
  to go Go of the Angels. It was the dates of December and it
• 5:45
  was hotter than cold at 20 degrees. That temperature didn' t look anything
• 5:49
  like the typical English Christmas with the weather below zero. Robert Plan remembers those
• 5:54
  days and told him so. In the seventy- five to Camaron Crow filmmaker
• 6:00
  that good. At that time he was a reporter for Rolling Stone Monham magazine
• 6:05
  and he was surprised that everything they saw was new. It was the first
• 6:11
  time they saw a policeman with a gun, the first time they had a
• 6:15
  six- meter- long car. Everything was completely bizarre for them and especially
• 6:21
  for Robert Pland it was Christmas and for an Englishman they spent Christmas away from
• 6:27
  home. That was the end of the world and well, the band already
• 6:34
  baptized as Led Zeppelin, would start this American tour and from there they would
• 6:44
  start to pull out their next fans so to speak. They weren' t
• 6:50
  even considered yet, but they already had an auditor who didn' t play
• 6:56
  ugly because, possibly, already with a new name, they didn' t
• 7:00
  even take into account the Jarburts or the New Jarbrts reference I' m probably
• 7:06
  going to tell you how the Jarverts' Leattle Games song begins now. I
• 7:14
  recommend you listen to her She' s got an intro that goes like this.
• 7:26
  Obviously, he did it on guitar. I did it on acoustic guitar,
• 7:28
  but if you listen to it, you look for it, as well
• 7:31
  as Little Games, so you see what the Jarberts were already starting to sound
• 7:38
  like to a future Led Zeppelin. That' s the closest song to what
• 7:40
  I consider the sound of led Zeppling. There' s Jimmy Page there.
• 7:45
  So it' s quite possible that at that time, what' s the
• 7:53
  style of let Zeppelin in this band called Los Jarburts, Ley and Ortiz was
• 8:01
  already breaking down. See you here in the next episode, see you later.
