Imagine being the recording engineer working with both The Beatles and Led Zeppelin at the same time! The two greatest bands ever, one nearing the end of their story, the other just beginning. A passing of the rock n roll torch. Amazing!
Well, Glyn Johns also worked on all the great Rolling Stones albums, from Beggars Banquet to Black and Blue, and in his excellent book he states that as he worked on Zeppelin 1 he really felt that it was something new, and was going to be a very important album.
@@Studio-62 Glyn Johns had not only worked with the stones, he had been present at almost every single Rolling Stones recording session since their first demo. He was OG with the stones.
@loosilu no he wasn't. George Martin was the producer in the original mix of Let it Be ( or LET IT BE NAKED ) as it was released. The LP that was released after the overdubs were added was produced by PHIL SPECTOR. Here is the personal credits. Production Glyn Johns - audio engineering, mixing Alan Parsons - assistant engineer George Martin - producer, original mixing (uncredited) Phil Spector - credited as producer (final overdubs), final mixing GEOFF EMERICK was not involved in LET IT BE
Interestingly enough, George later had a few encounters with Led. Zeppelin. Once around 1973, he was thrown into a pool by John Bonham at a party in LA. George also suggested to Jimmy Page that Led Zeppelin needed a ballad in their set. Page later wrote “The Rain Song” in part inspired by George’s suggestion. There is even a reference to “Something” in the opening of “The Rain Song”
I read about some party where George asked Jimmy how long their concerts lasted. Jimmy replied about three hours, George responded f**k me, in the Beatles we were down for twenty minutes and if lucky we could get away with fifteen.
@@seanieizcool John picks up George and he's "No, no, don't John I've got my mobile phone in my pocket" and everyone looked puzzled for a second "What's a mobile phone George?" and he said "Oh, err, I forgot what year this is...err, nothing, I'm not a time traveller!" and then he was thrown in.
I'm 99% sure Glyn Johns introduced himself to me at Cherokee Studios when I was recording there, and I was so stressed that day that it wasn't until later that I was like, "wait...holy sh*t." Same thing happened when I met Lenny Kaye. I'm an idiot.
I can never get over just how perfect those voices were together. At the earliest, rawest stage of a song, when their voices come in harmony it is absolute magic.
Page knew that deafening blues-rock was going to go over hugely; he was exactly right. No bandleader knew more precisely what he wanted in a new group.
He and Jeff Beck both realised what they wanted after recording 'Beck's Bolero' in May '66. Page also had the benefit of seeing the original Jeff Beck Group in action - because his and Jeff's manager, Peter Grant, took the Zep lads to see Jeff, Rod and tRonnie in action and apparently told Jimmy that despite the JBG's massive success in America, the band wasn't going to last because Jeff didn't know how to run a band. He was right. After a successful tour of America Jeff declined a second run Grant had booked. So he gave it to Page and thus set the band up for success on the back of the groundwork done by Beck. That wasn't the first or last time Jeff undermined his own career.
There's a clip on RUclips from 1970 where journalists are interviewing Page and Plant and they're like "But why do we need you when we have The Beatles?" It's amazing just how much The Beatles defined rock and youth music up until then. Also, Robert threw in "I Saw Her Standing There" during the rock 'n' roll medley at the famous 9/4/70 show, known as "Blueberry Hill" on the bootlegs.
I like how George was like"yeah is lunch ready yet?" Like hes not that interested yet in hearing one of the greatest collage band ever.😅 Love George.👍🏻🙏🏻
Pretty sure by that George meant that if it was lunchtime then Beatle business was done for the mo so he could listen to it, I could be wrong tho as he definitely could be that harshly dismissive lol, sounds (to me anyway) like he was interested in this instance tho and was just checking the room for an 'all clear'
@@npc3po301cheers..I read John liked Jimmy Page playing. I wish I was into Zeppelin like the rest of the world, but I'm not. I like Zeppelin 4 and few of their songs but I can't stand Jimmy Page really. I'm more into the Beatles, Pink Floyd of course 👍🏻 my 2 favourite bands.
A very young Jimmy Page played the clean lead guitar solo, melody on George Martin's orchestra arrangement on "Ringo's Theme" from the 'Hard Day's Night' movie sound track + lp. G Martin takes credit as one of the 1st to discover Jimmy's tremendous guitar skills, Rock on! 🎵 🎬 🎼 ArtyThan ☆♡☆
Absolutely, even in George Martin's own words. I remember a few years back when I 1st heard about it, very cool... It is also documented on line as well. I posted it on FB back then and found that many weren't aware ☆
@@arissongsmusic A quick Google search says it's Vic Flick playing on _Ringo's Theme._ He played guitar on the James Bond theme. There's also mention of Page playing background guitar, but Fleck says he was nowhere near the studio the day that was recorded. Also that it's Page playing the generic guitar track heard on the radio during the train scene in the movie. So without a definitive source, I'll have to take all the claims with large grains of salt.
Glyn Johns had his brilliant hands in so many great projects. I love his work with the Eagles, who he had to convince to be a Country Rock group, while they were itching to be Zeppelin. He was right about the Eagles being a natural folk/country band, in my opinion. They progressed to become a great rock band as well, over time, but Glyn's work with them is my favorite, as it was fresh sounding, after the onslaught of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin; and bands like the Who and Rollings Stones who evolved from pop to hard rock bands.
I feel you are mostly right but I would say outright demand or dissuade them for choosing rock or r/b or whatever was in their fancy...Frey was adamant that Johns was trying to keep them in country rock...hence Bill Symcyzk and Walsh exit Leadon and Johns. Johns felt that due to his experience US bands can't rock...he had this weird ideal of switching between these singer songwriter types and really gutsy rock...
@@krisscanlon4051 I can't argue with that. I saw the History of the Eagles tour and was blown away at their professionalism, and personally, I was happy for the resolution of Bernie Leadon and Glen Frey for that tour. I do wish Don Felder and Frey could have come to a better place, but life is not a fairy tale I suppose.
Back then there was an assembly line of talented groups and when one disappeared another arose. Today you can barely find any decent groups at all. And once they go, no one replaces them. That's why all the old groups are still touring. It's pure nostalgia.
Ive been a die hard Beatles fan since the 60s and it took me decades to finally realize just how great Led Zeppelin is. Im still much more of a Beatles fan but Zeppelin do deserve all the accolades they get. Though Jimmy Page had a terrible habit of stealing other peoples songs, he was also the architect of this band. All 4 members played simply brilliantly together.
Stealing songs? Hardly. Theres a difference between making new things out of old things, which almost every band in that era did, including the Beatles.
The Beatles where well aware of the new heavy sounds that where emerging in the late 60s. Lennon would've been acutely aware of the next new generation of talent snapping at his heels. But his ego wouldn't allow him to admit to it. I imagine the entourage of the group would've been playing all sorts of new up and coming stuff to them , not just what the Stones where doing. The real reason John's would have drawn their attention to Page's new band is because they produced their own work in their own studio, which was unheard of.
@@frankjamesbonarrigo7162 Paul got the inspiration for "Helter Skelter" from the Who's "I Can See For Miles and Miles." which Peter Townsend said was "rawest, dirtiest song the Who had ever recorded." Paul listened to it and thought was quite straight and sophisticated with very little noise and screaming, but wrote a harder rocking song anyway. So yeah, they were well aware of the trend going towards harder rock, being that he wrote one of the prototypes to that sound.
Johns literally recorded 3/4 of the musci I grew up listneing to as a child when I took my parents' discs. Zeppelin, Deep Purplus, Who, Stones... And I didn't know that at that time. Quite unbelievable that it's also the Stones Mobile Studio that what used for the majority of that stuff...
Even before the Yardbirds, Jimmy Page was one of the best-known studio musicians in Britain. The others in his new band were relative unknowns, including his air-raid-siren lead singer.
Como assim? Pois era justamente o contrário, eles eram bastante antenados em tudo o que acontecia. O próprio ecletismo do som deles é a maior prova. Conheceram, apreciaram e apoiaram Bob Dylan e Jimi Hendrix desde o início, por exemplo. Eram fascinados pelo som Motown também, amavam Marvin Gaye, the Miracles e os grupos vocais femininos, e sempre que podiam traziam essas influências pro seu som... (Isso não quer dizer é claro, que eles gostavam de tudo) Enfim, discordo totalmente, com todo o respeito! 😊✌️
"Don't Let Me Down" by The Beatles like "What is She And What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin both songs were inspirated by "Albatross" song by Fleedgood Mac. OK Would been like a Navy Blues 🎸
Back in those days Glynn John was just a sound engineer and to the Beatles probably not an influence but a worker like your driver or something. Now imagine you are trying to get lunch and some engineer wants to make you listen to something, just like I did to my parents (no thank you) or my kids dad listen Ed Sheeran etc.. like nick lowe said - and so it goes….
They don’t sound anything like us. When a reporter asked Page how much did his group sound like the Beatles it was practically nil. The Beatles were Pop Rock and Zep were heavy Blues Rock. But they both expanded the sounds of Rock until Floyd came along and they really went into outer space.
The police officer said he was only 19 years old, years later he felt had made a mistake 😅 what are you going to do shit happens he was a kid doing a job and nervous at that, no one got hurt.
Without The Beatles, The Yardbirds would've never happened, and Led Zeppelin might''ve been a doo-wop group. Obviously, Jimmy Page was a top Brit studio guitarist - and Led Zeppelin was a very hot band, with some legendary records. But "new greatest band of all-time"? There's no way they surpassed The Fabs. For starters, Robert Plant was too derivitive of Small Faces' Steve Marriott.
@@nuwavedave no zeppelin without the Beatles ? Really? And no Beatles without Elvis and no Elvis without the people before him and no them without Beethoven or Mozart or Bach and blah blah blah. Who cares! As if music wasn’t going to continue without the Beatles is assinine. Floyd and yes and the stones and purple and Halen and allman’s and sabbath and Pearl and pilots and fleetwood and eagles and Nugent and segar and maiden and priest, good grief! No way I’m giving credit to the Beatles for all this. Most are just as good if not better in their own way and by the way, zeppelin was influenced by American music. It’s well documented. They accomplished a lot in 7 years but ringo was probably the most influential. People weren’t picking up guitars because of Harrison 🤣 and the bass? Try entwhistle, not McCartney , The Who came out 2 years after the Beatles, not exactly a decade later, and Lennon, I know he thought he was a big deal but Did nothing in my opinion without McCartney, his solo career was underwhelming and I’m being kind. Harrison and Lennon were a couple of weirdo’s with that spiritual anti Jesus eastern religion non-sense😂 the artist’s of the seventies quickly made most rock fans forget about Lennon
I own over 2,000 albums from the 50’s and 60’s till some from today and not one Lennon or Harrison or Ringo album. I rather like McCartney’s solo career, especially wings. The Beatles were very good but not in this guys top 20😊
@@adammartin7007 Not one Beatles member was in the same stratosphere as a musician compared to zeppelin 😂 there is a gift to catchy tunes, I’ll say that, but zeppelin never tried to write any hits. They just played and whatever sounded good they stuck with. Bonham probably wouldn’t have fit the Beatles music because he was a heavy hitter and wanted to do more as a musician, if you know anything about music you’d understand that the zeppelin songs were able to give him room to breathe with his style. Ringo was perfect for the Beatles and arguably there best player. But if he wanted to expand all he had to do was get together with some serious players and put something together, not aware of him ever doing that. McCartney was a good bass player but not on Jones level, JPJ was also a top notch sessions player and sought after by many. Actually the best musician in zeppelin. Page was in another world of creative genius and producing and getting the most out of a song and understood the structure to create songs and he knew they’d have to play those songs live. So he was able to allow Jones and Bonham to expand live as well as himself. The Beatles music was mostly simplistic and structured that way for commercial and radio play, and they were great at it but comparing them to zeppelin is like comparing a 4 cylinder car to a truck with a hemi engine. So musically, overall don’t try to disrespect zeppelin. Not on my watch🤨 and of course there is Robert Plant as a frontman, nuff said😂
I don't know how the rest of the Beatles put up with that interloper Yoko Ono invading studio while they were trying to write. In more than one book I've read, John installed her in the studio during their "heroin days", laying there on a mattress with a microphone suspended above her so she could "offer her opinions on how the songs should be". I ignore every claim that she wasn't the reason why the Beatles broke up.
Man, younger people nowadays listening to music of the 60s and 70s would be like me listening to and loving Al Jolson or something and just loving the hell out of it! John Phillip Souza? George M. Cohan? Not that it’s bad music, there is no such thing really. Uhh, before anyone says anything…Yoko doesn’t make music!
It's easier to get into now that RUclips exists and it's easier than ever to share bootlegs and rare studio recordings and all. I know some folks my age who say they were born in the wrong generation, and I kinda get it but also I don't know where I'd be without the internet and the information age
It should be noted that Page was never happy with the original production on the Led Zeppelin albums, and later went back and remastered the entire catalog.
As producer of all their music, it makes no sense that he would have been unhappy with the productions. The remasters have nothing to do with being unhappy with his previous work. Perhaps what you're thinking about is how unhappy he was with the sound on the CDs when they first came out. Apparently, whoever created them was using 2nd, maybe 3rd generation sources, rather than the master tapes. With Jimmy's remastering, he went to the original sources in order to bring the Zep music into the digital world properly.
Are your recording sessions very tense and serious? I always have the most fun (and success) in the studio when things are light. I've had producers and engineers play other stuff they were working on, and I always enjoyed it. In fact, there has been a time or two where something else they have mixed has inspired a change in one of the songs whatever band I was in at the time was recording. Kind of like, "oh wow -- that thing you did there going into the chorus, you think you could do that at such and such point of the track we were just working on?"
@@erathostenes-rq4mi*1964 - 1969 In terms of influence, perhaps, but realistically, the White Album and Abbey Road were both better then Sgt. Pepper's.
@Johnny Capybara Jr White Album and Abbey Road are imho superior to everything Led Zeppelin made after Led Zep I. In fact, if Abbey Road didn't contain Paul's Maxwell and Ringo's Octopuss, but George's All Things Must Pass and Paul's Maybe I'm Amazed, it would've been THE greatest pop album ever.
@@Kanarie1973 if you think that slop on the white album is better than Physical Graffiti then you’re sampling some of that druggy magic that Lennon and Harrison were inhaling back in 68.😂 Harrison brings in Clapton to elevate while my guitar gently weeps 🤷🏼♂️ trust me page or Beck wouldn’t have brought in anybody to play on Physical or Beck’s wired album🤔

Without The Beatles, The Yardbirds would've never happened, and Led Zeppelin might''ve been a doo-wop group. Obviously, Jimmy Page was a top Brit studio guitarist - and Led Zeppelin was a very hot band, with some legendary records. But "new greatest band of all-time"? There's no way they surpassed The Fabs. For starters, Robert Plant was too derivitive of Small Faces' Steve Marriott.
@@nuwavedave no zeppelin without the Beatles ? Really? And no Beatles without Elvis and no Elvis without the people before him and no them without Beethoven or Mozart or Bach and blah blah blah. Who cares! As if music wasn’t going to continue without the Beatles is assinine. Floyd and yes and the stones and purple and Halen and allman’s and sabbath and Pearl and pilots and fleetwood and eagles and Nugent and segar and maiden and priest, good grief! No way I’m giving credit to the Beatles for all this. Most are just as good if not better in their own way and by the way, zeppelin was influenced by American music. It’s well documented. They accomplished a lot in 7 years but ringo was probably the most influential. People weren’t picking up guitars because of Harrison 🤣 and the bass? Try entwhistle, not McCartney , The Who came out 2 years after the Beatles, not exactly a decade later, and Lennon, I know he thought he was a big deal but Did nothing in my opinion without McCartney, his solo career was underwhelming and I’m being kind. Harrison and Lennon were a couple of weirdo’s with that spiritual anti Jesus eastern religion non-sense😂 the artist’s of the seventies quickly made most rock fans forget about Lennon
I own over 2,000 albums from the 50’s and 60’s till some from today and not one Lennon or Harrison or Ringo album. I rather like McCartney’s solo career, especially wings. The Beatles were very good but not in this guys top 20😊
All of their best songs were rip offs., so they are not even in the race. Then there was that situation with Page and his 15-year old girlfriend...
@@adammartin7007 Not one Beatles member was in the same stratosphere as a musician compared to zeppelin 😂 there is a gift to catchy tunes, I’ll say that, but zeppelin never tried to write any hits. They just played and whatever sounded good they stuck with. Bonham probably wouldn’t have fit the Beatles music because he was a heavy hitter and wanted to do more as a musician, if you know anything about music you’d understand that the zeppelin songs were able to give him room to breathe with his style. Ringo was perfect for the Beatles and arguably there best player. But if he wanted to expand all he had to do was get together with some serious players and put something together, not aware of him ever doing that. McCartney was a good bass player but not on Jones level, JPJ was also a top notch sessions player and sought after by many. Actually the best musician in zeppelin. Page was in another world of creative genius and producing and getting the most out of a song and understood the structure to create songs and he knew they’d have to play those songs live. So he was able to allow Jones and Bonham to expand live as well as himself. The Beatles music was mostly simplistic and structured that way for commercial and radio play, and they were great at it but comparing them to zeppelin is like comparing a 4 cylinder car to a truck with a hemi engine. So musically, overall don’t try to disrespect zeppelin. Not on my watch🤨 and of course there is Robert Plant as a frontman, nuff said😂
John Paul Jones is the guv'nor bass player!😃
This is hilarious. You can hear the tides changing in real time.
I don't know how the rest of the Beatles put up with that interloper Yoko Ono invading studio while they were trying to write. In more than one book I've read, John installed her in the studio during their "heroin days", laying there on a mattress with a microphone suspended above her so she could "offer her opinions on how the songs should be". I ignore every claim that she wasn't the reason why the Beatles broke up.
Allen Klein, no manager, no touring so they didn't need each other. They became each other's session musicians instead of being a band.
How we know not doctored?
Buddy of mine just linked me the bootleg. The bootlegs are out there, somehow those reels got out
Exactly!
I don’t believe anything these days.
How do we know your reply wasnt doctored? Or mine for that matter@@countdown2xstacy
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l
Like I said, don’t believe anything these days.
Maybe my reply was doctored?
Now you got fooled.
Did George say, “F_ dessert…” ?
"F was that" I think
Jimmy Page Album? As soon as he plays those three triplets on the kick drum it becomes a John Bonham album.
Bonham showed the world a drumming masterclass in the first 20 seconds, how many other drummers can say they've done that on their first track?
Man, younger people nowadays listening to music of the 60s and 70s would be like me listening to and loving Al Jolson or something and just loving the hell out of it! John Phillip Souza? George M. Cohan?
Not that it’s bad music, there is no such thing really. Uhh, before anyone says anything…Yoko doesn’t make music!
It's easier to get into now that RUclips exists and it's easier than ever to share bootlegs and rare studio recordings and all. I know some folks my age who say they were born in the wrong generation, and I kinda get it but also I don't know where I'd be without the internet and the information age
George was thrown in a swimming pool by Bonham.
If it would have been Close to the Edge by Yes they would have been blown away and taken notice.
Saw that show. Also the Yes album opening for Black Sabbath
@@jthunders Nice, I always thought Yes was a much more talented band with better music.
Hendrix and Yes took you to another world. Page’s band was very good, quite creative but with feet planted firmly on the Earth.
I'm so glad you mention YES (and their best album!), because my top 3 bands of all time are Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and YES.
Steve Howe is better than Page@@johnurban7333
It should be noted that Page was never happy with the original production on the Led Zeppelin albums, and later went back and remastered the entire catalog.
He remasters the catalog whenever a new format is released.
As producer of all their music, it makes no sense that he would have been unhappy with the productions. The remasters have nothing to do with being unhappy with his previous work. Perhaps what you're thinking about is how unhappy he was with the sound on the CDs when they first came out. Apparently, whoever created them was using 2nd, maybe 3rd generation sources, rather than the master tapes. With Jimmy's remastering, he went to the original sources in order to bring the Zep music into the digital world properly.
@@Dirgnimai7 Okay. Maybe “unsatisfied” would have been a better word.
Want to hear the new Jimmy Page album? Jimmy Page.... Wasn't he the one in The Yardbirds? Is lunch ready?
Haha! Little did they know that Glyn was playing the band that would soon replace the Beatles as the biggest in the world.
'Replace' ? interesting concept ?
the Beatles "knew" all about replacement after 1966@@earlgrey691
I wonder if the Beatles got pissed off hearing Zeppelin bleeding into their sessions?
The greatest band ever! I own every record they released. I'm talking about Led Zeppelin, of course.
🤣
George wasn’t impressed 😂
He was probably just hungry
@@dogenestris …Or not impressed
@@dogenestris Hangry
Can't infer that from this snippet
Well, George said somewhere that from the late 60s he started to become less interested in new music. Sticking to 50s oldies. That would explain it.
Ha, ha, the Beatles here seem to have little interest in this "Jimmy Page" - good for them 😂
Apparently your anti-Zep/anti-Jimmy Page bias is clouding your hearing.
they shared a simillar like for a certain Magician@@Dirgnimai7
Wow something I actually like coming out of a Beatles recording session
I would have fired him from the session immediately. You never bring in the work of another group who you are working with unless asked by the client.
Glyn John was their mate tho
Are your recording sessions very tense and serious? I always have the most fun (and success) in the studio when things are light. I've had producers and engineers play other stuff they were working on, and I always enjoyed it. In fact, there has been a time or two where something else they have mixed has inspired a change in one of the songs whatever band I was in at the time was recording. Kind of like, "oh wow -- that thing you did there going into the chorus, you think you could do that at such and such point of the track we were just working on?"
Perhaps you should lighten up. What a ridiculous notion that is.
@@Dirgnimai7 I've been in sessions where engineers and assistants have been dismissed from the session for less.
@@thechuckster6838 Those who did the dismissing were being ridiculous, in my view.
This doesn't prove anything
"prove anything" about what?
About Paul being DEAD@@Dirgnimai7
"Uh... I think... is lunch reday ?" Seems to be what he thought of Led zep. Ha ha.
Led Zep I is far superior to Let It Be. There, I said it, being a huge Beatles fan for more than 40 years.
@@erathostenes-rq4mi*1964 - 1969
In terms of influence, perhaps, but realistically, the White Album and Abbey Road were both better then Sgt. Pepper's.
@Johnny Capybara Jr
It was LZ that took it from them, and it ain't no joke either.
@Johnny Capybara Jr you're one of those guys who said Earth is a disc, don't ya?
@Johnny Capybara Jr White Album and Abbey Road are imho superior to everything Led Zeppelin made after Led Zep I. In fact, if Abbey Road didn't contain Paul's Maxwell and Ringo's Octopuss, but George's All Things Must Pass and Paul's Maybe I'm Amazed, it would've been THE greatest pop album ever.
@@Kanarie1973 if you think that slop on the white album is better than Physical Graffiti then you’re sampling some of that druggy magic that Lennon and Harrison were inhaling back in 68.😂 Harrison brings in Clapton to elevate while my guitar gently weeps 🤷🏼♂️ trust me page or Beck wouldn’t have brought in anybody to play on Physical or Beck’s wired album🤔
