On this day in 1969, Led Zeppelin II was released. It began with rehearsals at my home in Pangbourne and 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'What Is and What Should Never Be' were later recorded at London's Olympic Studio Number 1 with George Chkiantz, who engineered the basic tracks and some guitar overdubs. This provided the foundation for the rest of the tracks to be recorded and overdubbed at various studios in America during our forthcoming tour. We recorded and overdubbed our way from West Coast to Ea

🔊 On this day in 1999, I had recorded, for reference, numerous tracks along with Michael Lee on drums, the process took about three days at the Depot rehearsal rooms in London. It comprised many song ideas I had for a possibility of a future recording. This is a fragment of the first song recorded. Photo © Ross Halfin 1999 | Jimmy Page

On this day in 1977, I played at Chicago Stadium with Led Zeppelin. ⠀⠀⁣ We opened the set on the 1977 tour with 'The Song Remains The Same' and in the extras section of the Led Zeppelin DVD there is a version of this edited from various sources. It displays the full-on energy of the approach to that tour.⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ 📸 © Neal Preston, 1977 | Jimmy Page
