Administrators sam_webmaster Posted November 22, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2015 Here's an uncirculated audience recording (audio) of the interview with Ed Bicknell, here in Toronto, during Canadian Music Week in March 1994. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since he passed away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I would like to publicly commend Sam for sharing this previously uncirculated recording now, the most opportune time. Truth be told, he mentioned it's existence to me in an email several years ago but I, knowing how exclusive it is, had my doubts he would ever be willing and able to share it with me, let alone Led Zeppelin's fans all around the world. It is such a remarkable contribution for him to make to this forum. Thank you so much, Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecongo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 This is great, there is precious little out there with Peter Grant, which is a shame really. Thanks for sharing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deborah J Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 WOW!! Sam, THANK YOU so much for sharing this. I just started listening and I am loving the story of meeting Elvis:-) Can't wait to hear the rest:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrycja Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Loved hearing about how Peter went all on guts for what was best for the band, how he believed in them, and the stories with Ahmet Ertegun, when you could talk with the top guy in those days, and when deals were solid based on a handshake. Kudos to him for being forthright about his addictions and how he kicked them. The last bit about how he thought the Who shouldn't have gone on without Moon as they weren't the Who without him and they just did it for the money says it all. That clip should be included in the 'should Zep have gone on' thread. I remember listening to Q107 when they said something to the effect of sad news from the Zep camp... and then they went to commercial. They. Went. To. Commercial. All the while my heart was in my throat. Assholes.Then they announced that Peter Grant had passed away. Sad news indeed. It was nice to see Jonesy acknowledging him at the R&R HOF induction.Haven't listened to Q107 since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpense Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Keith Richards should listen to this interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Keith Richards should listen to this interview. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Why?Presumably because Keith's a massive fan of Chuck Berry, whom Peter Grant discusses having working with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixpense Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Why?Because not too long ago in an interview (of which a link was posted at this site) Keith stated that Zeppelin was a creation of Peter Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpMan Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Because not too long ago in an interview (of which a link was posted at this site) Keith stated that Zeppelin was a creation of Peter Grant. Oh come on now, that is plain rubbish, Zeppelin was NOT a creation of Peter Grant!!! Everyone knows who created Zeppelin...it was the god Poseidon. He reached his life giving hand out, shouted, "I want to rock, and thus I have created musical perfection!!! Oh, and here is a mud shark too."I really hate it when people don't know the facts. Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
