In today's video, I dig deep into the truth and myth behind the legendary Led Zeppelin "mudshark" story. Share and enjoy.

In a 1971 show at Carnegie Hall, Frank Zappa described the girl in question as looking like "a fat Alice Cooper". He also described the incident only involving the members of Vanilla Fudge, never once mentioning Led Zep. Then he had the audience get up & dance the newly constructed dance, The Mud Shark, to, of course, his newly constructed song in honor of this momentous event in rock lore: The Mud Shark. This was also recorded & more widely distributed on The Mothers album, Zappa/Mothers June 1971, Fillmore East. "...you go out, so far out, you go out, and do the mud shark, baby...." As sung by the immortal Flo & Eddie. So there ya go...😎
Addendum: Mr. Zappa in the Carnegie Hall show also referred to the denizen of the deep the way the locals in Seattle supposedly refer to it: a dogfish. Maybe if enough others add tidbits, we may well be able to extract the truth of this story; or at least draw a more logical conclusion, failing the aforementioned. Well, one can only hope, as time goes by, the reality of obtaining the truth becomes more and more diluted. Which would be a damn shame giving all the talk, rumour, print, songs and a dance, even, that has been produced over this very incident. Eddie are you kidding ? No, I am not kidding. Besides, little Emil needs, and sure would like, enlightenment. So there ya go, hop to it, kids. 😎
I think if Led Zeppelin had been involved FZ would have included it on stage at the Fillmore.
It is alleged that a member of Vanilla Fudge filmed the incident with an 8mm movie camera.
Carmine Appice detailed the whole incident in an interview by
Oui magazine in the early 80s.
thanks for the comment, Dan. Such a killer Zappa tune there, and I am enjoying how many people have let me know that they didn't know it's origins...quite a tale Zeppelin spun there!
If you're up to it, I'd love to do a collab with you sometime soon.
Jimmy page has commented on either chapter two or three of hammer of the gods: led Zeppelin by stephan davis
I heard that they couldnt get the smell out of the fish...

The fish must've said: I'm home I'm home!!
Frank Zappa talked about the Vanilla Fudge showing him a film of the incident at an airport.
thank you :)
Listen to Zappa - he mentions Vanilla Fudge and the rest - along with the mud shark
Groovy
There's really not much in the way of real factual input or conclusions in this video.
Totes! I'll drop you a message here on the toobs and we can go from there.
The story of the Mudshark is in the Led Zeppelin buography. I have heard this story from someone who was actually there and Lep was not it actually was the band Vanilla Fudge.
Right. And I know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. The Cuban guy from Scarface told me. He also told me who killed JFK
I am wondering if the fish smell.
Someone shouldve bought that seattle tape long ago, Thats a movie!
Got any pictures?
There is a video filmed by the manager of vanilla fudge. Bonham and Carmine Appice were in the room with groupies and the young girl on the bed. Bonham was a beast not only as a drummer...
Music... Dance with me!
What a mish-mash of facts.
Don't you mean a fish-mash of facts?
Dang dude, are you directing a symphony or what?? You bounce your hands at least 200 times in this short video...a little hand jive goes a looong way!...great info tho
I Hug Frank Zappa was there
My mom was the mudshark groupie. Her name is joan but she told the band her name was jackie nc she didnt like her name And big shocker, she was 15 at the time thats why this story hasnt been owned up to. My mom will never publicly own it tho . Ill share her story when she passes
I wanna believe you but soooo many trolls😂
My god, I want to believe you as well but hesitant. Anyways, this incident has made me burn anything they have. I can separate the music but I am not that into them anyways so come with them
Great story-Out/You go out/So far out/You do the Mud Shark Baby-Was this somehow not expected to happen.Imagine being a f'n fly on the wall. Whats up w the Edgewater Inn (very uptight) from what i heard they neatly hung the mud sharks in the closet .Do what thou will is the whole of the law-Right-So this worked out well for everybody I would encourage this behavior.

What the fuck did i just read
I'm surprised that no-one seems to understand why it was called the "Red snapper" incident. Yes, the fish was a mud shark, the red snapper was between the girls legs. The joke was the shark fu cked a red snapper. And if you believe it's exaggerated then you're very naive.
sounds utterly ridiculous.
Recycling a worn out old story with the presenting skills of an over excitable student . .
I'm more inclined to believe aliens landed.[obvious sarcasm is obvious] This sounds like a absolute crock. 🙄
