Led Zeppelin II @55- Robert Plant, Jimmy Page
Though barely ten months had passed between the inauspicious releases of their debut and followup in 1969, so much had transpired in that time with the band- and the world- that by the time Led Zeppelin II erupted in late October 1969, the largest music event in history had occurred at the Woodstock Festival barely six weeks after two Americans walked on the Moon. And then “Whole Lotta Love” blew up my car radio that Autumn and changed everything.
My guests here In the Studio Jimmy Page and Robert Plant will take you through what really happened, with some surprising revelations, all the while taking you inside the making of “Ramble On”, “What Is and What Should Never Be”,”Heartbreaker”, “Livin’ Lovin’ Maid (She’s Just a Woman)”, “Thank You”, and the game changer “Whole Lotta Love” marking the double nickle anniversary of one of the true cornerstones of rock music ever since, Led Zeppelin II this week.
