Great story, and what a story teller! I'm going to suggest they add this link to the guitar web site I write for.

Terry Reid is a great vocalist maybe my second favorite to Plant, listen to his version of Season of the Witch. It's my favorite version of that song, and there are ton's of versions! Some of his vocals remind me of Plant in some ways. I recommend getting the CD: Superlungs the complete studio recordings. <------------Amazon Link for the CD. It's got lots of music, and some really great tunes. Reid's reason for turning down Jimmy Page on joining Led Zeppelin: "Jimmy asked me to be the singer in Led Zeppelin but I'd just done a deal to support the Stones on their first US tour in three years.” Being confronted with the seemingly insurmountable legal ramifications of trying to pull out of both Mickie Most's contract and the touring deal with the Stones, Reid had to bow out. Hope that helps

Sorry in advance if someone already posted this. I can't find the quote but Madonna on a talk show, (David Letterman?) said (Paraphrasing): I like to have sex when listening to Led Zeppelin. I tried to look up the quote but I can't find it, and I don't want to sit through youtubes of Madonna, that will have to be done by someone much braver then I. Though it has stuck with me for many years now.
