Today In Led Zeppelin History


Recommended Posts

November 16, 1978

Led Zeppelin record the song "Darlene" at the Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. The song was left out of In Through the Out Door.

A few notes from the wikipedia page of the song:

"John Paul Jones plays piano on this track.

"The end of the track includes a lyrical nod to "American Pie" by Don McLean. "With a pink carnation and a pickup truck."

"This is the only song from the In Through the Out Door sessions which was credited to all four members of the band. It was never played live at Led Zeppelin concerts".

Still at the Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden, Led Zeppelin record the song "All my Love". It's track #6 of In Through the Out Door.

"In an interview he later gave to rock journalist Cameron Crowe, Plant stated that this song was one of Led Zeppelin's "finest moments". However, guitarist Jimmy Page has expressed less fond sentiments for the song." (wikipedia)

Led Zeppelin receive Q magazine's "Merit Award" at the Park Hotel in London. Plant, Page, Jones and Jason Bonham attend.

"(Our songs) were created in the least amount of time and often with the greatest amount of laughter and I think that's what this award is for, for having a ridiculously crazy time", said Plant.

Peter Grant, music manager (5 April 1935 – 21 November 1995).

16 years ago.

In this interview with Uncut magazine circa 2009, John Paul Jones talks about the former band manager:

"Peter was a very sensitive man. He was a very, very smart man. People just think of his size and his reputation, but actually he never had to use his size. He could out-talk anybody, you know. And I think [he and Jimmy] got along intellectually. They both had this great love of art, as well. Art deco, art nouveau… that whole sort of period. They used to spend a lot of time touring antique shops together when we were on the road. They were both collectors. So yeah, they had a lot of things in common. I know Peter trusted Jimmy’s vision. When Peter trusts you, he doesn’t question you. He just decides that you’ve got the right idea, so he’s going to put all his resources behind you. And that’s what he did with Jimmy and with Zeppelin.”

Led Zeppelin finish recording of their seventh studio album.

Wikipedia entry:

"After a month of rehearsals, the album was recorded in just 18 days at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, with Plant in a wheelchair. This was the fastest recording turnaround time achieved by the band since their début album. The rushed recording sessions were in part a result of Led Zeppelin having booked the studio immediately prior to The Rolling Stones, who were shortly to record songs for their album Black and Blue. Upon their arrival, the Rolling Stones were amazed that Led Zeppelin's album had indeed been completed (both recorded and mixed) in a mere 18 days. Jimmy Page had simply stayed awake for two days straight to perform all of the guitar overdubs."
