gibsonfan159 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Watched this just this morning. For all the horror stories you hear about Peter Grant he seems like such a gentle person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very nice man, just as long as you did not screw with Zeppelin or try to steal his money, blow, wife, or food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The interminable battle Robert had/has with his hair. Always makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He failed sometimes as we all do but this guy tried and battled. He'd be the first in my camp any day, be it a band or hockey team or business. For every bad thing he did there was a million good things he did as well. Being the 5th member for all those years is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zeppelin would no way be near what they are but for the great manager who broke ground just like the band did. The space to be creative without compromise. He truly is the 5th member. No exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76229 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Grant had to be a hard bastard just to cope with the mob people that ran some clubs & venues. I always think of that story Chris Dreja tells from Yardbirds days: band turn up late cos of freak snowstorm, miss first gig of two. "Promoter" sticks gun in Grant's gut yelling he's cost him $5000 and he's going to kill him. Grant gut butts promoter down the steps till he falls in a heap. Hard to imagine nowadays, but the wild west back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Oh those lads they do like to be forgetful. Had they never seen the rushes to The Albert Hall show in the 6 years it had been filmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesOfOneNest Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 That was a great interview! Thanks for sharing; really enjoyed it. What was that little dig at JPJ at the end?! It was also cool to hear Robert talk about his fantasy sequence - Rain Song is one of my all time favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
