ausias Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Does someone know if Led Zeppelin(or Jimmy) listened to music while on tour? I know they said once they didn't listen their own albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Given they were all huge music fans I would guess they listened to a lot of music, I remember reading that they would listen to Little Feat at soundchecks around 1975. There are reports of Bonham listening to Alphonse Mouzon's Funky Snakefoot album in his hotel room during the '75 tour. John Paul Jones has also been quoted saying that Bonham & him listened to James Brown a lot. Other than that, I can't really help you with specifics.

That was taken at the Ambassador East hotel in Chicago on the 1975 tour. Neal Preston also has some great photos of Robert and Jimmy watching Little Richard performing in "The Girl Can't Help It" on the Starship.

The Only Way To Fly Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 There's no doubt they devoured music - all kinds. Just look at the medleys in WLL or HMMT. Really obscure stuff at times. Just think, when they were in their teens, there was no intranet, pop/rock radio in the UK at that time - forget it. Plus record shops in the UK at the time - they really had to seek it out - just like The Beatles and the Stones did. It's obvious they were obsessed with music/Rock and Roll from a very early age. And it serves its purpose..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledsox Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I read that Bonzo like to blast Supertramp's Crime of the Century album. One of my faves, too. Also, the great Al Green was mentioned in an article as being played in Jimmy's hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
