Led Zeppelin Biography

2010-01-22T05:01:00.001-08:00

Led Zeppelin was the definitive heavy metal band. It wasn't just their crushingly loud interpretation of the blues -- it was how they incorporated mythology, mysticism, and a variety of other genres (most notably world music and British folk) -- into their sound. Led Zeppelin had mystique. They rarely gave interviews, since the music press detested the band. Consequently, the only connection the audience had with the band was through the records and the concerts. More than any other band, Led Zeppelin established the concept of album-oriented rock, refusing to release popular songs from their albums as singles. In doing so, they established the dominant format for heavy metal, as well as the genre's actual sound.

Led Zeppelin formed out of the ashes of the Yardbirds. Jimmy Page had joined the band in its final days, playing a pivotal role on their final album, 1967's Little Games, which also featured string arrangements from John Paul Jones. During 1967, the Yardbirds were fairly inactive. While the Yardbirds decided their future, Page returned to session work in 1967. In the spring of 1968, he played on Jones' arrangement of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man." During the sessions, Jones requested to be part of any future project Page would develop. Page would have to assemble a band sooner than he had planned. In the summer of 1968, the Yardbirds' Keith Relf and James McCarty left the band, leaving Page and bassist Chris Dreja with the rights to the name, as well as the obligation of fulfilling an upcoming fall tour. Page set out to find a replacement vocalist and drummer. Initially, he wanted to enlist singer Terry Reid and Procol Harum's drummer B.J. Wilson, but neither musician was able to join the group. Reid suggested that Page contact Robert Plant, who was singing with a band called Hobbstweedle.

After hearing him sing, Page asked Plant to join the band in August of 1968, the same month Chris Dreja dropped out of the new project. Following Dreja's departure, John Paul Jones joined the group as its bassist. Plant recommended that Page hire John Bonham, the drummer for Plant's old band, the Band of Joy. Bonham had to be persuaded to join the group, as he was being courted by other artists who offered the drummer considerably more money. By September, Bonham agreed to join the band. Performing under the name the New Yardbirds, the band fulfilled the Yardbirds' previously booked engagements in late September 1968. The following month, they recorded their debut album in just under 30 hours. Also in October, the group switched its name to Led Zeppelin. The band secured a contract with Atlantic Records in the United States before the end of the year. Early in 1969, Led Zeppelin set out on their first American tour, which helped set the stage for the January release of their eponymous debut album. Two months after its release, Led Zeppelin had climbed into the U.S. Top Ten. Throughout 1969, the band toured relentlessly, playing dates in America and England. While they were on the road, they recorded their second album, Led Zeppelin II, which was released in October of 1969. Like its predecessor, Led Zeppelin II was an immediate hit, topping the American charts two months after its release and spending seven weeks at number one. The album helped establish Led Zeppelin as an international concert attraction, and for the next year, the group continued to tour relentlessly. Led Zeppelin's sound began to deepen with Led Zeppelin III. Released in October of 1970, the album featured an overt British folk influence. The group's infatuation with folk and mythology would reach a fruition on the group's untitled fourth album, which was released in November of 1971. Led Zeppelin IV was the band's most musically diverse effort to date, featuring everything from the crunching rock of "Black Dog" to the folk of "The Battle of Evermore," as well as "Stairway to Heaven," which found the bridge between the two genres. "Stairway to Heaven" was an immediate radio hit, eventually becoming the most played song in the history of album-oriented radio; the song was never released as a single. Despite the fact that the album never reached number one in America, Led Zeppelin IV was their biggest album ever, selling well over 16 million copies over the next two and a half decades.

Led Zeppelin did tour to support both Led Zeppelin III and Led Zeppelin IV, but they played fewer shows than they did on their previous tours. Instead, they concentrated on only playing larger venues. After completing their 1972 tour, the band retreated from the spotlight and recorded their fifth album. Released in the spring of 1973, Houses of the Holy continued the band's musical experimentation, featuring touches of funk and reggae among their trademark rock and folk. The success of Houses of the Holy set the stage for a record-breaking American tour. Throughout their 1973 tour, Led Zeppelin broke box-office records -- most of which were previously held by the Beatles -- across America. The group's concert at Madison Square Garden in July was filmed for use in the feature film The Song Remains the Same, which was released three years later. After their 1973 tour, Led Zeppelin spent a quiet year during 1974, releasing no new material and performing no concerts. They did, however, establish their own record label, Swan Song, which released all of Led Zeppelin's subsequent albums, as well as records by Dave Edmunds, Bad Company, the Pretty Things, and several others. Physical Graffiti, a double album released in February of 1975, was the band's first release on Swan Song. The album was an immediate success, topping the charts in both America and England. Led Zeppelin launched a large American tour in 1975, but it came to a halt when Robert Plant and his wife suffered a serious car crash while vacationing in Greece. The tour was canceled and Plant spent the rest of the year recuperating from the accident.

Led Zeppelin returned to action in the spring of 1976 with Presence. Although the album debuted at number one in both America and England, the reviews for the album were lukewarm, as was the reception to the live concert film The Song Remains the Same, which appeared in the fall of 1976. The band finally returned to tour America in the Spring of 1977. A couple of months into the tour, Plant's six-year-old son Karac died of a stomach infection. Led Zeppelin immediately canceled the tour and offered no word whether or not it would be rescheduled, causing widespread speculation about the band's future. For a while, it did appear that Led Zeppelin was finished. Robert Plant spent the latter half of 1977 and the better part of 1978 in seclusion. The group didn't begin work on a new album until late in the summer of 1978, when they began recording at ABBA's Polar studios in Sweden. A year later, the band played a short European tour, performing in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Austria. In August of 1979, Led Zeppelin played two large concerts at Knebworth; the shows would be their last English performances.

In Through the Out Door, the band's much-delayed eighth studio album, was finally released in September of 1979. The album entered the charts at number one in both America and England. In May of 1980, Led Zeppelin embarked on their final European tour. In September, Led Zeppelin began rehearsing at Jimmy Page's house in preparation for an American tour. On September 25, John Bonham was found dead in his bed -- following an all-day drinking binge, he had passed out and choked on his own vomit. In December of 1980, Led Zeppelin announced they were disbanding, since they could not continue without Bonham.

Following the breakup, the remaining members all began solo careers. John Paul Jones returned to producing and arranging, finally releasing his solo debut, Zooma, in 1999. After recording the soundtrack for Death Wish II, Jimmy Page compiled the Zeppelin outtakes collection Coda, which was released at the end of 1982. That same year, Robert Plant began a solo career with the Pictures at Eleven album. In 1984, Plant and Page briefly reunited in the all-star oldies band the Honeydrippers. After recording one EP with the Honeydrippers, Plant returned to his solo career and Page formed the Firm with former Bad Company singer Paul Rogers. In 1985, Led Zeppelin reunited to play Live Aid, sparking off a flurry of reunion rumors; the reunion never materialized. In 1988, the band re-formed to play Atlantic's 25th anniversary concert. During 1989, Page remastered the band's catalog for release on the 1990 box set Led Zeppelin. The four-disc set became the biggest-selling multi-disc box set of all time, which was followed up three years later by another box set, the mammoth ten-disc set The Complete Studio Recordings.

In 1994, Page and Plant reunited to record a segment for MTV Unplugged, which was released as No Quarter in the fall of 1994. Although the album went platinum, the sales were disappointing considering the anticipation of a Zeppelin reunion. The following year, Page and Plant embarked on a successful international tour, which eventually led to an all-new studio recording in 1998, the Steve Albini-produced Walking Into Clarksdale. Surprisingly, the album was met with a cool reception by the record-buying public, as Page and Plant ended their union shortly thereafter, once again going their separate ways (Page went on to tour with the Black Crowes, while Plant resumed his solo career). Further Zeppelin compilation releases saw the light of day in the late '90s, including 1997's stellar double-disc BBC Sessions, plus Zep's first true best-of collections -- 1999's Early Days: The Best Of, Vol. 1 and 2000's Latter Days: The Best Of, Vol. 2. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Toto I'll Be Over You Live 1990

2009-12-02T21:25:00.001-08:00

Toto I'll Be Over You Live 1990
Toto formed as a group of six studio musicians in 1977. Before the band formed, the members of Toto were regulars on albums by Steely Dan,^[1] Seals and Crofts,^[2] Boz Scaggs,^[3] Sonny and Cher,^[4] and many others, contributing to many of the most popular records of the 1970s. Keyboardist David Paich, son of famed musician and sessions player/arranger Marty Paich, rose to fame after having co-written Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees album. Having played on many sessions with drummer Jeff Porcaro (the son of noted session percussionist Joe Porcaro whom he'd met while attending Grant High School in North Hollywood, California where they'd formed the band Rural Still Life), the two began to seriously discuss the possibility of forming their own band. They brought in bassist and fellow session vet David Hungate, having played with him on the road with Boz Scaggs. In addition, the duo asked guitarist Steve Lukather (who had also played in Scaggs' band as a replacement for Les Dudek) and Jeff Porcaro's brother Steve Porcaro (keyboards) to join the team. Luke and Steve Porcaro had also attended Grant High and had in fact continued the band Rural Still Life (the name shortened to Still Life) after Paich & Jeff had graduated. With the addition of former S.S. Fools singer Bobby Kimball, the group began to work on their first album in 1977 after signing with Columbia Records.

Toto - Stop Loving You

Toto was an American rock band founded in 1977 by some of the most popular and experienced session musicians of the era. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the 1980s, beginning with the band's self-titled debut, released during 1978. Continuing with 1982's critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV, Toto became one of the best selling music groups of their era. They are known for such hit singles as "Hold the Line", "Rosanna", "Africa", and "Stranger in Town". Although their popularity in the United States diminished in the 1990s and 2000s, they continued to tour and sell out theaters and arenas internationally.

Toto was known for their technical skill in the studio, as well as a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, and jazz. Although they were regularly associated with the soft rock genre, this broad array of musical styles helped them appeal to a variety of musicians and non-musician listeners.

The band released 17 albums and have sold over 30 million records to date. Their 18th album Falling In Between Live, was released in August 2007. It was recorded in March 2007 in Paris. As a result of guitarist Steve Lukather's departure from the band, which he agreed with the other members, Toto broke up after the last leg of their 2008 tour.

Ex-Kiss drummer: Breast cancer not just for women

2009-12-01T19:27:00.001-08:00

SPRING LAKE, N.J. — Lying in bed one night in 2007, Peter Criss felt something strange: a small lump on his left breast.

"I thought, 'It's a nodule, I'm a guy, I don't think it's anything more than that,'" he said. "The more I messed with it, the bigger it got and the more it hurt, and that started really scaring me."

The former Kiss drummer went to the doctor, underwent some tests and a surgical procedure to remove the lump. A week later, the doctor called. It was breast cancer.

"My heart hit my stomach and my knees buckled," Criss recalled.

The good news was that Criss had caught the disease at its earliest stage. After a second surgery to remove it in March 2008, he would not need chemotherapy, radiation or medication.

Now, the once-costumed rocker who performed in his Catman makeup is speaking out about his illness to encourage other men to get tested for breast cancer — a disease more commonly associated with women, who are routinely urged to get regular mammograms at a certain age — the moment they suspect something might be amiss.

"You need to immediately tell your wife, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, whatever," he said. "The more you sit around and say, 'Well, it's going to go away,' that time could be the time that you save your life."

Men account for only 1 percent of all breast cancer cases, but about 2,000 men develop it each year, and 440 die from it, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Dr. Alexander Swistel, who treated Criss, praised his decision to get checked out immediately after sensing something was wrong.

"He's a great spokesperson, and he's very bright about this kind of thing," Swistel said. "To have someone like him come forward and show that there's life after this is a wonderful thing. Rather than be the typical guy and say, 'Ah, forget it,' he moved on it right away."

There should be no stigma attached to having the disease, or seeking help for it, Criss said. Other tough guys, including "Shaft" actor Richard Roundtree, have spoken out about having breast cancer.

"It's something we think guys don't get," Criss said. "Guys get prostate cancer, heart attacks. Men are men — women get breast cancer. Or so I thought.

"It has nothing to do with macho," said Criss, best known for the 1976 ballad "Beth," which remains Kiss' biggest hit to date. "There's no tougher guy than me. I was born in Brooklyn, I was in gangs, I did the whole battling thing my whole life. I think a man is a man if he steps forward and says, 'There's something bad going on and I need to deal with it."

His doctor says the 63-year-old Wall Township resident is cancer-free today. Criss' treatment gave him an up-close look at what women have endured for ages.

"I sat in the waiting room, and there were all these women who looked like they weren't going to be here long — no hair, scarves — a place a guy doesn't think he's ever going to be sitting in one day," he said.

And having a mammogram was an experience in itself for Criss.

"It's amazing how they can get a guy's little pecs in that thing that the poor women go through," he said. "They are so medieval! I have a whole new respect for women going through mammograms."

Criss was a co-founder of Kiss from 1973-1980, did a reunion tour from 1996-2000, and returned for a final stint in 2003. He's working on a new solo album and a long-delayed autobiography.

"I am the Catman, and I do have nine lives, but I think I'm down to five now," he said.

Review: Daltrey shows the true meaning of 'classic' rock

2009-12-01T19:22:00.000-08:00

By JONATHAN FOERSTER (Contact)
Monday, November 30, 2009

They call it classic rock for a reason.

It’s music that never gets old, music that still resonates no matter how many times you hear it. Although the label gets slapped on a lot of music that’s aged but not classic, Roger Daltrey’s music is certainly classic.

A smaller-than-expected audience at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall Friday night was treated to the sort of spectacle normally reserved for big arena shows. The Who frontman Daltrey treated the crowd to nearly two hours of stadium rock anthems, classic hits and a run through the history of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most legendary acts.

Even though he warned the audience that it wasn’t going to be a “Who show,” Daltrey obliged them with many of the band’s greatest hits. But the show was more than a career retrospective.

Never a major songwriting force in the Who, Daltrey has always been a supreme interpreter of other people’s songs. Away from the need to play only the band’s material, Daltrey let loose classics from his influences. He sang some songs he recorded with the Chieftans, did a fantastic rendition of Muddy Water’s “Mannish Boy” and spent 10 minutes on a medley of Johnny Cash tunes.

“As long as I’m performing, I’m going to be doing his songs,” Daltrey said of Cash, whose songs he sang to pass the time as a 15-year-old worker in a sheet metal factory.

Most songs came with a sometimes lengthy description of how the song came to be, or other anecdotes about its history, like a live version of “VH1 Storytellers.” Before launching into a version of “Blue, Red and Grey,” from 1975’s “The Who By Numbers,” Daltrey explained the reason the band never played it live was because lead guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend didn’t like playing the ukulele in public.

“He said, ‘I look bloody stupid with that thing,’” Daltrey recounted.

For his part, Daltrey wasn’t worried about looking stupid, showing off his surprisingly fit 65-year-old body by unbuttoning his shirt before “Baba O’Riley (Teenage Wasteland)” — to the delight of his middle-aged female fans. That song also proved he can still swing a microphone with the best of them.

Throughout the show, he proved to be surprisingly humble and remarkably funny. Heck, the very premise of his tour, dubbed “Use It or Lose It,” was that if he didn’t get out there and sing now he probably wouldn’t ever be able to do it again.

After blowing through a strong version of “The Real Me,” Daltrey proclaimed his tour would be one of the last times he’d be able to sing from “Quadrophenia,” the band’s legendary rock opera.

And certainly there were gaps in his vocals, which sound appropriately whisky-aged now. He passed off some of the high notes to his band mates and avoided “Won’t Get Fooled Again” altogether lest he fail at the famous caterwaul.

Daltrey has settled into a voice not unlike Springsteen, low on pyrotechnics but heavy on feeling. Songs like “Squeeze Box” and “Behind Blue Eyes” took on a more weathered, worldly feel than they had in the ’70s.

But the quality of his voice didn’t really matter that much. Most of the audience was just happy to hear the songs and to rock out with one of their favorite performers.
