Led Zeppelin is one of the most influential and successful bands in the history of rock, formed in England in 1968 by former Yardbird guitarist Jimmy Page. During its 12-year career, this band published eight albums that in total have sold more of 300 million copies worldwide, becoming classified by the press as a band obsessed by power, volume and melodramatic resources that contrast with the subtlety of other British artists, becoming classified in a simplistic way as a band heavy metal

In this video, through their music you will meet the band that managed to transform the blues, folk, psychedelic rock and hard rock of the 60s into songs with a powerful unique and unmatched sound full of dynamism, lights and shadows, expressiveness and versatility to the point of being a band with highly emotional songs like the music of the great stars of early rock.

    Talking about Stairway and the obsession at the time of listening for subliminal messages by playing an album backwards, and preachers pounding the podiums about devils and evil with rock music, etc., I think of how things are and have been in places like Europe and here and the differences. Where the people over there seem to take more in stride. They seem to embrace learning and knowledge, don't freak out over things. Get so scandalized about things. We tend to be somewhat conservative (not talking politics but, as a society), and a bit moralistic and bit backwards. Just an observation. As for the songs of Zeppelin, I have loved this group since I was a teen in the 70s. Their music still speaks volumes and stands the test of time. They are indeed GOATs.

    The first time I did mushrooms we put on my Zeppelin IV cd on repeat and I couldn't listen to When the Levee Breaks for years afterwards.

    This video sounds like it was written (and narrated) by AI. Whether or not, it could have used a good editor or fact checker. So many little (and big) goofs, like the suggestion that any of the lyrics of "Stairway to Heaven" were written at Aleister Crowley's former property in Scotland (which Jimmy Page did own for a time). Robert Plant has said (more than once) that the lyrics for "Stairway" were written mostly at Bron-yr-Aur, and finished up at Headly Grange right before he recorded the vocals. The most egregious error, of course, is the mangling of the name of Robert Plant's late son--who was Karac Pendragon, not Karac Pendra. I did appreciate some of the footage and still photos of the band, quite a few of which I have never seen before. Other than that...about what I expected.
