Surely the only sighting in the whole of the 70s of Plant's ear...and it's pierced!
Figured he did as a lot guys, including me by having the left ear pierced.
I was following an older cousin who's surname is the same as mine, his example.
That is my first time seeing Percy with a dangling iron hanging from his lobe though. Can't recall seeing it in TSRTS film, went to the premiere weekend in North Houston. The theater was packed, and the room was full of smoke. And not just tobacco neither!
I love these interviews. As popular as Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant were, he seems very humble and almost shy.
Beverly Baker Plant still seems incredibly humble. Page on the other hand...
Plant comes across as a delight in interviews today. He seems so down-to-earth. You would never think he was a rock God.
Brummies are often humble and lovely.
@ET Music When was that? Also, how tall was he?
@@lynchmaleideal Page doesn't really come off as pretentious. Same for Jonesy and Bonham.
OMG the way Robert looks up...I'd die for that guy...his hair..the way he talks..I wish he was my private lullaby singer💖
Ah... Love to see Robert fighting his untamed lion's mane...
Little Sister OH YES MY ZEPPELIN SISTA 😂😂😂✊🏾
Have you seen teen pics officially him as a brunette?
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Arjun Nickolas Instablaster :)
@Zaire Jerry Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can’t imagine what it was like to see these legends live. How could anyone go home after watching Zeppelin blow the brakes off for 3 hours?
Grant was like the Mother Hen...looking over his brood of chicks. He was fiercely protective of them.
Omg we love you so much Robert
Robert seems like a super nice guy and very down to earth. Watched an interview from the 80s, 90s, and from last year, as well as a few in the 70s and he’s exactly the same! Never knew what he was really like until I started watching interviews of him recently. He seems so transparent that if you talked to him for 10 minutes, you’d feel like you’ve known him 10 years! Very professional too. Peter Grant seemed cool too!
and we have the Gallaghers from Oasis fame who can't do a few words without expletives. We seem to have regressed.
Totally agree with you regarding Plant
No, Peter nope
oooh RObert Plant is super handsome.
shannonandsheila1 Very good looking, and not gay, that’s for certain! He loved the women.
Barbie Jayne Cheng YES GIRL 😁😁😁😁
28 year old Robert Plant is so handsome
Он всегда красивый!!!
He is still handsome at 75. Still sings beautifully too.
Robert Plant, Legend. Peter Grant, mentor of a legend.
Robert is charming!
I love the first few seconds when they were riffing with the ear horns. Peter Grant making Robert Plant laugh. Zeppelin moments like these are rare to find indeed.
One of the best interviews ever! All seemed friendly and brilliant in their perspective of the TV vs. film, among other things. And Robert with that hair-the golden god.
Quit calling him a God ❤😊
That thumbnail pic is phenomenal…love his smile omg!
😻
Love archival footage like this, thanks for posting it. Peter Grant was a great manager you can see he was a friend to the band, he really cared about their well being and was also their biggest fan. If Elvis had him as his manager instead of Colonel Parker things would have likely been different for him.
You are correct, Elvis could have toured the World! How many more records would he have sold?
I reckon it's kinda like that commercial about how many licks to the center of a Tootsie- Roll lollipop. The World may never know!
I can’t hear one word Robert is saying cuz I’m in awe of how handsome he is.
I think his perceived handsomeness is be cause of his intelligence. He's actually rather normal in physical attractiveness. But his wit and intelligence are incredibly attractive.
@@lindasulla5302 No doubt he's intelligent I agree. His physical attrectiveness is anything but normal. He's a 10+
Oh quit it! Y'all gals haven't changed from even back in the'70s, l recall gals in school chattering away about him the same way.
But,, l had a thang for Stevie Nicks, Nancy Wilson of Heart and several other female musicians.
Can ya tell l'm politically incorrect?
Yes,one of the masters of storytelling,don't forget Page,Jonesey and Bonzo simply one of the best rock bands of a era.You just don't see Bands today of there caliber live or cutting studio material.Excellent management and musicianship =Led Zeppelin l like some bands around now but the caliber these guys brought to Rock n Roll is unsurpassed....THankyou Led Zeppelin and Swansong LLC.
Great interview, but around 9:30 when Grant attempts to explain his reasons why they didn’t put LZ on TV made me so sad a d frustrated. I hear he was a great manager and looked after the band but he really messed it up for future fans by leaving us with so little to watch😢
There’s a couple films that scratch the itch. I hear you though.
If you read a Historical Romance and need to imagine A Knight in Shining Armor or a King, definitely Plant will fit the bill.
Oisin to someone’s Niamh. Sigh.
I would like the whole MSG show released if it was all filmed in 4k🤟🏼
i remember seeing the led zeppelin song remains the same movie october 21 1976 at the now defunct sack cheri movie theatre and i was blown away with the tangential concert performance and alchemistic fantasy sequences
I'm straight, but he was so fucking handsome. His style and charm... A true rockstar. At his prime, he was the best singer ever.
Я с вами согласна!!! Харизма Роберта завораживает, его хочется слушать и наслаждаться❤
😅mate you don't need to announce that you're straight..smh.. Robert is very handsome.. it's cool to say another bloke is cool looking.
FANTASTIC, THANK YOU!!
Saw the film on it's release it was amazing.
This is how I would like to think my hair looks in the wind, but I’m sure it doesn’t look nearly as good as Robert’s.
Peter Grant; "Hi, I manage Led Zeppelin;"
Bob Dylan; "Do I tell you my problems?"
(NYC party, 1970's)
WHAT A BUEATIFUL WAY TO DO A INTERVIEW VINTAGE BOAT RIDE WATER WAVES CRISP LOVELY SETTING. BUEATIFUL WEATHER 3 HANDSOME TALENTED MEN ROBERT IS SO HANDSOME MY GOD🤦🏾♀️ LOVE THAT BUEATIFUL HAIR BLOWING ALL OVER 🤗🤗
Other than my wife, I wish I would have had someone like Peter Grant who cared that much about me.
brilliant! thank you!
Good looking man !!!
There are photos where this pair looks very affectionate
I've seen those photos and am sure they were just mucking about. That said, I think he may have been a tiny bit smitten by Robert, just like the rest of the population ❤
You genius Mark!!
It's amazing how both of them they kept their cool and not get annoyed with this clown during this interview especially Grant who was always known for a having a hot temper towards anyone who got on his bad side. If this(along with the MSG backstage scenes)was not filmed, Grant would've definitely cussed and chewed Appleton out and possibly picked him up and thrown him overboard.
I love how Theyre interviewed by their own drummer
1990 • That’s Bonzo 😃😃
tiffany curtis i know
1990 • It Is. Him 😂😂😂 1990 😂😂 Quarantine Is DRIVIN Me Crazy Excuse Me I Need A Drank 😂😂
That's not John Bonham doing the interview.
@@SophieTheBagel1984 That's the point
4:15 i actually died 🏃🏃
He's high! 🤓
I can’t, his laugh❤️
He's absolutely divine ❤
The traffic on the river is very light in 1976. A few years later and this boat would have been rammed out of the way by a ship carrying aggregate like the Marchioness it was mad same type of boaty.
Peter and robert in 76 on private public transit on Thames, they musta had the best. Air mail from Asia.S.A. must of increased
Man, surreal watching them cruise the river and just talking.
this interview is on the reissue two dvd set of the song remains the same in 2010
There is substance there with The Mr. Plant. Ooh la la
Robert plant is whering a hoop earring it was rare for a guy to have an earring in those days now it is very common Ringo has been whering a earring a long time and so has sir Elton John peace and love up the irons!!! maiden manic and happy holidays to all🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘🌟🌟🌟
It's wearing! They were wearing earrings. No spellchecker?
Hardly the first I would say. Gold earrings were common with sailors before the 20th century as that was the way they carried their money around without losing it.
I believe there was a feather in a circle on his ear ring,his symbol.
Peter Grant was a great manager. His size and connection..(uk gangsters) ir wannabe's made Peter a force to be reckoned with. 👍🏻💯 He'd do anything for his boys.
Nice!
I wish they expanded more on other Zeppelin-related questions other than the TSRTS film.
The Blond God!!!🥀❤
In for a quick Garden✨💐
Great audio considering!
Grant was a genius.
Peter Grant, the svengali and model for Suge Knight
except that peter grant isnt a criminal
Loved the guy in the beginning
Typical English dental mishap along with a gap you could fly a commercial jet thru (sideways)
Get a new joke. Almost as bad as saying Yanks are typically obese.
@@lyndoncmp5751
Sorry it offended you
Obviously your English and have bad teeth
By the way...your right most Yanks are obese...currently about 70%
That's whispering Bob harris, a legend in the UK
@@doppelbanger5797 What a nice mate
Is he still alive and kicking?
@@speakeasydoorman4966
Yeah, he's still rocking, he even appears to have gotten himself a new set of choppers
Robert Anthony Plant (West Bromwich, Inglaterra, 20 de agosto de 1948) es un músico, compositor y productor británico, conocido mayormente por haber sido cantante de la banda de rock Led Zeppelin desde su fundación en 1968 hasta su separación en 1980.
I can imagine what Grant meant when he said that the robbery sequence could have been a lot darker: had he and Richard Cole gotten their hands on whomever was responsible for it, they would have come close to beating him to death...
Cole was a suspect.
There is a podcast called Uncharted Mayhem in the Music Business that theorises that Grant himself was responsible. He and Cole passed lie detector tests but we know how corrupt NYC cops were then.
Peter Grant (5 de abril de 1935 - 21 de noviembre de 1995) fue un actor y representante artístico británico. Grant administró reconocidas bandas de rock como The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin y Bad Company, entre otras, y fue además ejecutivo discográfico de Swan Song Records. Grant fue descrito como "uno de los representantes más astutos y despiadados de la historia del rock". Es ampliamente reconocido por mejorar la remuneración y las condiciones de los músicos en sus relaciones con los promotores de conciertos.
I never knew Robert had a pierced ear. Does anyone know what the charm is that is hanging from his hoop earring?
Yeah but only on his left ear which is kinda weird because in the late seventies and the eighties an earring on the left ear used to mean that you are homosexual, i know what a stupid "rule"
@@Taylor.Dude. lol
@@littleshrimp6905 Actually, pretty sure that it was the right ear that was supposedly for homos. I had my left ear pierced, and it was a very widely discussed topic. Sometime toward the end of the 80s and early 90s, the trend moved to getting both ears done.
@littleshrimp69051 "Right is wrong" was a common saying among straight guys in the 70s and 80s. It meant that if a male wore an earring in his right ear he preferred men. An earring in the left ear meant that he preferred women.
His feather symbol is on the earring
Robert planta wow😍😍😍
What in the Sam Hill is that thing in Peter Grant’s hand? A giant meerschaum?
A pipe/ contract enforcer.
Ah the old days when every BBC presenter spoke in RP.
I thought they would be talking about the PRESENCE album. 😕
Nice to see Grant not being the total prick he usually was here; he seemed gentle and quite normal.
The only time he was when he felt Led Zeppelin was being exploited for profit. He was their watch dog.
Psychopaths are very very clever . Being a cunt all the time doesn't work!
Yes robert did look older then twenty eight rock stars have a hard life drinking drugging partying takes its toll but ringo he looks fantastic for his age he will be eighty one in July maiden manic and up the irons long live rock n roll and rock loud and mighty proud🎶🎶🎶🎶🤘🎸🎸🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Robert can’t hide the Black Country accent when he says “indulgent” 😂😂😂
Peter Grant holding a blunt hard instrument in his hand - a little bit disturbing... The man has natural vampire fangs.
He was a giant Keebler Elf but a great bloke
I love Led Zep but they were so Spinal Tap at times weren’t they, fantastic!😄
It’s Appleton definitely not Bonzo
What’s “In For A Garden” mean? Anyone?
hair
Peter Grant needs to moisten his upper lip.
He used Vaseline....it didn't work,dammit
😂😂😂😂 Awww 😂😂
@@speakeasydoorman4966 😂😂 He Was A Wonderful Manager For Zepplin Never Took Advantage Of Them When They Retired After Johns Death Rip They Retired Rich And That Rarely Happens In Music Groups Were All Members Were Rich 😊
@@tiffanycurtis4794
He was....a good man
And a good friend to them all
@@speakeasydoorman4966 Read the Led Zeppelin biography by Nick Wall, "When Giants Walked the Earth". You'll get an idea how much of a hard man Grant was at times. He was credited with being one of the first managers to really make the band that they managed wealthy, when so many other managers, promoters, concert organisers & record companies ripped off musicians. Unfortunately, like so many in the rock and roll business, the drink & the drugs got to him in the end.
I like his Black Country accent.
❤❤🔥🔥♥️♥️🔥🔥
also led zeppelin was a music album concert band they weren.t a tv band like the beatles paul revere or chad and jeremy
Where’s all the love for Peter,he’s a handsome devil as well.
Did u notice how tall Peter Grant 196 cm ,and that smoking hot Robert plant 188 cm are?
It makes him even hotter
3:26
Plant always looked 10 years older than he actually was. He is only 28 here. Looks 38.
He had a kid pass away and drugs didn’t help lol probably a lot of stress
Everyone looked older than they were in 1960s/1970s England. I remember the windows freezing up on the _inside_ of the house on many occasions. Add in the terrible 'food' back then and you're bound to look a bit rough.
@@mrsock3598 Karac was still alive
@@floydpitt7590 Not just in England. Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby looked old even when they were 25 haha.
@@lyndoncmp5751 True!
0:28 Interviewer looks like Bonzo
It was very rare for guys to wear a earring I watched a old video of george harrison and he was wearing a earring with all that long hair he had you could not tell he.had one sir ringo.and sir elton they been wearing earrings for years and whatever floats your boat iam cool about that back in the day if a guy had a earring in the left ear he was gay and if it was the right he was not and to tell the truth some guys look good with a earring in the eighties guys having earrings was very big with a lot of metal bands up the irons!!!maiden manic rock loud and very
proud🇬🇧🇬🇧😊😊🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶
A male wearing an earring in the right ear meant he was gay, left ear meant heterosexual.
Pete you still owe me 5 quid.
‘Could’ve been a lot less robbed’ hahaha!
Great archive interview.....Don't they make a big deal about the film.....which turned out to be a load of bollocks.
No it wasn't. Its still great.
It looked like they actually passed by PHYSICAL GRAFFITI! 😂🤷
The building on the cover of Physical Graffiti is in New York.
I thought Peter was 6’6” but here he looks same height as them
Robert plant was tall too
Still is, as a matter of fact ;-)
@@RootzRockBand
This after Robert's accident wasn't it?
No, before, he sang the album In Through the Outdoor from a wheelchair in the studio.
You might be thinking about his first tragedy when his son died which I believe was before this.
@@dukecraig2402 no he did presence in a wheelchair on in through the outdoor he was back to normal.
@@dukecraig2402 nah that's not correct his accident was in 1975
This interview is from 1976

Already been pointed out in the comment right below mine and above your's.
You didn't see that?
Love hippys maurice gibb looks chubby here had no idea he was roberts pal
lol Grant's shirt...
I'm confused. Bob Harris at the end says Mike Appleton did the interview , but in the comments everyone is saying it's John bonham
It's because they're confused, Robert wouldn't be talking so formally with the interviewer if it was John.
@GIL Favor- It's kinda sad, people should know the difference.
Sounds much too posh to be Bonham. He was from the Black Country, near Birmingham.
People should know John Bonham. It is sad that they don't, I agree Joey .
@@elroyfudbucker6806- Yeah, Bonzo was born in Redditch
People born after the mid 1970’s don’t realise we lived without hair conditioner. It just didn’t exist. Robert Plant’s hair is typical of how dry people’s hair was naturally. Once you got older. Sorry but I’m fixated on his hair in this. And his chest, that he refused to cover up. Even in Winter. Anywhere all the time. I’m surprised he’s got his shirt done up in this interview. 1970’s men were obsessed in showing their chests. With gold chains.
I was born in 1962, and in the early 1970s, don’t recall an absence of hair conditioner in the bathroom. Are you inferring it became less expensive to buy and therefore more accessible in the latter half of the decade? What did professional hairdressers use? Men’s obsession with displaying their chests at this time, had to be better than all and sundry brazenly exhibiting myriad ghastly tattoos as is the case in our towns and cities today. One man I saw recently, his hands, arms, neck, face, and (bald) head - fully decorated in inked patterns. Looked like the creature in The Illustrated Man.
LincoBeer conditioner...
Very happy he refused to cover his chest! And that belly!!❤😊
If you've got it why not flaunt it. He definitely had it, still does.
Handsome still is !!! Love mane too !! Yeah what happened to his manager ?
Peter Grant ?
He died of a heart attack at age 60. Not sure what year. I'm sure that's easy to find.
@@elainemclaughlin9417 so sad
Died in 1995 I guess
They act like it's an everyday thing. You know, just sailing under the tower bridge as you do. Holding weird things and doing an interview. Stoner cruise 1970s rock star style.
They had to film the other scenes because the band was so f'd up the live tracks sucked. 😂 Peter told me so himself. He didn't want to lose money on all the live footage. 😅
Size off Peters tummy lolomg
Those boys were eatin good 🍴
Lol
In for a quikie...
That guy looks like a bunny rabbit with those teeth
no1nestandsalone Awwww 😂😂😂 But He Was A Hell Of A Manager They Are Still Rich Today Because He Never Took Them For Money When They Stoped Performance After Bonzo Died They Were Rich All Of Them Even Bonzo😃
That 424 Flu Virus must have been somethin back in the day...

In spanish?
And if you see robert plant now he does look old I bet robert wished he was a lot younger. But you can't.go back in time up the irons!!

I love the fact that Bonham did the interview. If he weren't their drummer, he could've had a career as a journalist. Some of the best questions I've heard asked of the band. You have to wonder if the questions are good because he is a band member or if he's a natural interviewer? I like to believe it's both. It's nice to see Bonham somewhere besides behind a drum kit. A good clip indeed :)
You're joking right? The interviewer is Mike Appleton (the OGWT producer) who sadly died earlier this year.
@@floydpitt7590- Exactly, and Appleton sounds nothing like John.
That's not Jon
Ha John Bonham hysterical.
@GIL Favor Oh yeah buddy, I'm sure I can get lessons from you, whatever. God, you people have no sense of humor!
