The Yardbirds folded in 1968, and within a handful of months, Led Zeppelin was not only a band but also a very successful one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about Led Zeppelin was that it was always four musicians at the top of their game, but they could play like a band.
Led Zeppelin was a band that would change things around substantially each time it played... We were becoming tighter and tighter, to the point of telepathy.
Led Zeppelin isn't done yet, quite clearly, because every year since 1968 there's been new fans.
We were lucky in the days of Led Zeppelin. Each album was different. We didn't have to continue a formula or produce a certain number of singles. Because, in those days, radio was still playing albums. That was really good.
I do know there's a lot of music where Led Zeppelin has been leant on. We didn't do anything about it. And I wouldn't want to, either.
Good records - from my point of view, where I grew up which was Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull... bands that were pushing the envelope a little - musically and in production.
Led Zeppelin wasn't a corporate entity.
Led Zeppelin was an affair of the heart. Each of the members was important to the sum total of what we were.
I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.
Right from the first time we went to America in 1968, Led Zeppelin was a word-of-mouth thing. You can't really compare it to how it is today.
