THEY BECAME ‘THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD'

THEIR MUSIC WAS ROOTED IN THE “BLUES”

Like many rock bands of the 1960s, Led Zeppelin took American blues songs – the traditional music of the African-American Deep South – as a starting-point for much of their work. However, in the improvisational spirit of prog-rock, the band treated the arrangements less like hard-and-fast rules, more like opportunities for innovation on a grand scale. Tracks like ‘You Shook Me’ (from their debut album Led Zeppelin) and ‘When the Levee Breaks’ (Led Zeppelin IV) showcase this kind of original approach, which is perhaps never bettered than with Jimmy Page’s 11-minute slide-guitar freakout on 1974’s ‘In My Time of Dying’

THEY BECAME ‘THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD'

It’s hard to imagine now, in an era when massive stadium-rock acts are the norm, but there was a time when huge arenas were still the preserve of sports teams alone. Led Zeppelin did not single-handedly change this phenomenon, but they did take stadium rock to new commercial heights. Between 1968 and 1980, they were the most popular live music act in the world, regularly surpassing their own attendance records – notably playing to 76,000 fans at a 1977 concert in Michigan, USA.
