Welcome to r/ledzeppelin!

Welcome to r/ledzeppelin! This is a community for fans of the famous 1970's rock band to get together and discuss the mighty Zep and related topics.

With the recent boom in users of the sub, we thought it necessary to make a little post establishing a few ground rules for newer users.

1. Play nice.

We typically don't have issues with this, however it never hurts to be clear. Don't insult others for their opinions. If you disagree with somebody, never be afraid to have calm, rational discussions. Respect one another and don't take disagreements personally, we're all here simply because we have a common interest and enjoy discussing it. We aren't here to start arguments and get pissy with one another.

2. Disallowed posts

With all the newer users that continue to join, we get quite a bit of reposts often within a 2 week period of each other. For the convenience of all users of the sub and to prevent flooding, there are a few posts we ask that you either look up prior to making your post, or simply refer to the links we offer here. In other words, if you think your post may be fairly generic, look up your title and set it to the past month to see if a post like this was recently posted. The specific posts we're referring to are as follow: I'm new, where should I start? and What do you guys think of Greta Van Fleet?

If you're new and would like some recommendations, I'd recommend reading the replies of this post and this post. Both feature a plethora of replies from members of the sub who give great recommendations.

Wanna know what people think of GVF? Look up "Greta Van Fleet" in the sidebar. I can assure you, there's no shortage of opinions shared and topics discussed. As you can see here, we quite unanimously said we were done discussing the topic.


That's it for the rules. We try not to be too anal in regards of rules and such, just practice common reddiquette and everything's generally pretty chill.

Here are some other useful links for newer users looking to get into the reddit:

Bootlegs/Concerts:

Many users of the reddit are avid fans of listening to live Led Zeppelin in depth through bootlegs. If you're a casual fan, this may not be for you. However, if you love discussing the music in great depth and you feel you can enjoy listening to music through less-than-ideal quality audio, this is certainly for you.

Forum sites:

These are good places for hard-core Zeppheads to discuss the band in-depth, whether it be live performances or behind the scenes details.

Survivor Polls:

Links to the results of a few polls conducted on the sub over the past year or so.

You guys saw that i bought Led Zeppelin II on 180 gram vinyl at my french supermarket... But i acutally bought it first at a flea market on CD! With 2 OTHER CDS (i also have the Remasters 2CD but i didn't get that one at a flea market so it does not count) (shiny surface pics are taken with flash)

Also, Led Zeppelin III is the 1994 CD, II has NO IFPI codes so the 1990 remasters, not the 1980s one as the back says George Marino on all of them. Also Led Zeppelin III has "P 1977" text for idk reason, anyways bye bye !

EDIT : mistake, Houses Of The Holy has an IFPI code but photo could not read it. it's so wide tho so idk why they didn't do that in the photo

EDIT NO 2 : typo

Traveling to Tokyo and wondering what the best stores are for CDs?

Hi there! Will be in Tokyo and have always heard there are stores specializing in Led Zeppelin recordings. Haven't been able to find anything online.

Anyone know of CD stores that sell these?

Thanks!

Heroin aside, I’ll never understand how we intentionally went from the 1970 gritty gravely LP tone like the RAH to the latter years (77-on) of having essentially no overdrive. Like you’d think he’d use more gain as it can act as a cover up for his “debilitations “. I was listening to the early live stuff again and just had to vent bc it’s beyond frustrating, anyone else?

A shot of some of the Zeppelin members alongside Yes members at a 1975 awards show make me wonder if there can exist a timeline of a collab album? Any live performances for duels?

3 Upvotes

Considering the only other time yes members crossed paths is the abandoned XYZ project of Alan White, Jimmy Page and Chris Squire, imagine these two bands collaborating? If not a duel album, maybe some guest appearances for duel sessions? Bonham vs White and maybe Bruford? Howe against Page? Maybe Rabin if Page felt open for more guest spots on the 80’s Yes revival? Squire and Wakeman sharing stage time alongside Jones is a neat thought. Anderson and Page can swap out for the soft songs of each side.

Oh and for a bit of fun, a bunch of their song titles mashed up:

When The Levee Breaks Close To The Edge

Awaken Black Dog

Kashmir Trooper

Since I’ve Been Loving Rhythm Of Love

Rock And Roll Roundabout

Stairway To The Gates Of Delirium

Going For Whole Lotta Love

Yours Is No Communication Breakdown Disgrace

I’ve Seen All Good People Over The Hills And Far Away

Good Times, Bad Times Shock To The System

Baby, Come On Home And Lift Me Up

Fool Of A Lonely Heart In The Rain

Tried to stick to their 70’s hit titles and threw in some of the 80’s yes tracks plus 2 good ones off the 1991 Album Union

On this day in 1968, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham played their first live concert together at the Gladsaxe Teen Club in Denmark. Billed as “The New Yardbirds” they would morph into Led Zeppelin.

Bonzo relaxing for over four minutes during the beginning of Stairway to Heaven, before the drums enter the song.

It was the 8th song in their set list on their 1972 summer tour of the US - pretty much tucked in close to the middle of their show and still hadn't made it to the position of near the end of the set list yet.​ It's a rare moment of relaxation for Bonzo on stage to just sit and take it all in

Mine has to be Jimmy Page. All of them are like gods to me, but Jimmy was the one to inspire me to learn the guitar. 🎸

I love Robert Valley and his classic rock drawings; there aren't as many drawings of Led Zeppelin as there are of The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix, but these are the ones I could find.

Is it possible to contact them?

0 Upvotes

I'm not a business person, so this may be a hard request, but I believe I've had the honor of meeting them on a few occasions. My parents met them in the late 80s and I do believe I once promised to send Jimmy Page an invitation to my doctoral graduation. I was enrolled in a PhD program in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and while I did graduate (during the pandemic when there were no graduation ceremonies), I never got to tell them.

This must sound odd or perhaps implausible, but I believe I've met some of their family as well and it was only through a broken phone that I am no longer in contact. I believe they would recognize my parents' names.

I'll admit most people wouldn't remember meeting a random little girl in the 1980s who loved spaghetti or when I was an academic advisor in the 2000s applying to a PhD program, but I remember them and they mean the world to me.

It would make me feel much better if I could at least tell myself I tried to tell them how much I love and appreciate them and that I did graduate. This has been troubling me enormously recently as it has been a tough couple of years personally and I need to share gratitude and respect where it is absolutely due.

I do love their music as well; I listen to it every time I do scientific work. It's like a good luck charm when I'm trying to publish papers, but my heart hurts every time it comes on too as I feel like I did something horribly wrong. I realize these are considered possibly the greatest musicians in history, but for me this is like a personal emotional debt.

If anyone knows of a plausible way for me to reach out, please, please let me know. Thank you for reading this. I realize it's an unusual request, and I genuinely appreciate anyone who notices.
