Hi, this is Carol Miller. Welcome to our Get the
Leadout calendar. On September sixteenth, nineteen seventy led Zeppelin interrupted
their Hawaiian holiday to receive some important musical awards in London.
Readers of the Melody Maker magazine had selected Led Zeppelin
as the top group of the year. Prior to that,
the annual Paul had the Beatles as readers favorite for
(00:22):
eight years straight. Now the magazine's cover said, quote Zeppelin
topple Beatles unquote. The celebration in London called for a
press conference in New York two days later. How do
you feel about the Beatles?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I you been great that they've done some fantastic statements.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Have you annulated in anyway put.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Myself not consciously? No. I think they obviously once heard
what they have done because it was pumps through the
media and the fact that they got through so many
millions and millions of people's during inspiration for every performing
group in England and I actually imagine in the world.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
On September seventeenth, nineteen seventy one, Led Zeppelin performed a
second consecutive night at the Honolulu Civic Gart to Time
Satorium in Hawaii. The newspaper review published in that day's
Honolulu Star Bulletin aired some grievances with Zeppelin for most
of the evening quote the music was a limp and
uneven end quote. The show itself was marred by a
(01:14):
generally sloppy performance on the part of the group. They
played their own review in the last number communication Breakdown unquote.
(01:40):
On September eighteenth, nineteen seventy, the members of Led Zeppelin
learned early in the morning of the passing of Jimmy Hendrix.
Their scheduled press photo session was immediately afterward, with a
group of journalists posing questions. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
had hoped and planned to be talking about their tour
or an album. Instead, they found them themselves publicly reacting
(02:02):
to tragedy.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
What's your reaction to the death of Jenny Hendrix.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well, I didn't know anything about it until half an
hour ago, and I'm still stumbling around trying to believe
that it happened.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's what's your reaction to the fact that he died
from an overdose and drugs reported like that?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
That's what makes it hard to comprehend that the whole
thing happened in here. Why well, it's just such a
shock when the statement is made like that, especially at
ten thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
On September nineteenth, nineteen seventy, led Zeppelin played two shows
at New York's Madison Square Garden, at two o'clock in
the afternoon and again at eight in the evening. This
marked the end of the tour. One of the last
things they played was Out on the Tiles, the full song,
not just the introduction. They ironed out the kinks from
an earlier attempt. A few segues later, in the same
(02:50):
eclectic medley, they incorporated for the first time gallows Pol,
dropping another hint towards led Zeppelin three. On September twentieth,
(03:15):
twenty twenty, Robert Plant ended the third season of his
podcast Digging Deep. The installments centered on Tall Cool one
recorded in eighty seven with Robert's former Zeppelin bandmate Jimmy Page.
Once Jimmy laid down his guitar solo in came further
led Zeppelin samples beyond the one he already recognized in
the studio. Now from Jimmy's perspective, there.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Was one song for a bit, which was from a
whole lot of love, which I heard that, and you know,
we just winked to each other and that came. But
he actually came down here after he mixed it, and
it was an.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Eye out tall Cool One reached number one on Billboard's
Mainstream Rock chart in eighty eight. Robert Plant was of
the opinion on the podcast that his sampling would not
have been caused for act like the song says, lighting up.
