Led Zeppelin Trivia

how did they chose the name "black dog"?

 

This song's name ain't nothing to do with its content, the name is chosen in honour of the dog, that was round the house, when they recorded it.

 

How about the name of the female voice on Battle of Evermore, and where it was recorded?

I love a good zep thread!

 

The female voice belongs to Sandy Denny and it was recorded in Headley Grange Studios, Hampshire...

Here is a similar question... What female re-recorded Battle of Evermore in 94 and appears on the No Quarter record and Unledded DVD? She also performed on a few dates of the Plant/Page tour for the same album... (She was also Robert's girlfriend around the same time, that's why they kept staring at each other the whole time on the unledded DVD LOL)...

 

I guess, that's also why it sounds so good...

It's Najma Akhtar.

 

Right on, green shades!

Next question please! I haven't got to answer a question in a while... I'm hungry for Zeppelin!

 

Ok, the BBC-Sessions.
Where was the concert performed?

Date gives extra Zeputation

 

disc one-live stuff from '69

disc two-paris theater in london- april 1st 1971


ok, in the 70s whos house did page buy, and where was it located.

 

He bought occultist/"satanist" Aleister Crowley's mansion located by the Loch Ness in 1971... oOooOo spooky.. lmao...

ps: Zeputation.. LOL That was cute..

This one is very easy.. There's a picture of it right in front of me on my wall..

What was the name of Led Zeppelin's customized Boeing?

 

Hahaha! That's also the poster on my wall...

... they called it the Starship.

By the way, Paris Theater was correct.

 

What major influence on Plant did other band members frown on him covering during concerts?

 

Yes Green Shades! You are correct! They owned the starship from 1973 to 1977... they stopped using it due to engine problems and replaced it with "Caesar's Chariot," a Boeing 707 owned by the Caesar's Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.

I love that poster! Is this th picture you are talking about?

 

I don't get the grammatical sense of this question, sorry.-



@NataMelon
Yes, it's this one. But mine is not quite like yours, it's a larger cut of it, you can see the plane's rear landing gears and in it's right bottom corner it has the symbols in red. Besides, it's good luck that people don't get too close, since it's rather pixelish if seen by near, I guess it's a pirated poster.

One of my friends was quite surprised to learn that Led Zeppelin had their own plane. Well, ... no comment.

 

Oooo I would love to see that!!

Btw, I think gottssunfire is saying that Plant liked to cover songs by a certain artist which was a major influence on him, but the other band members hated doing it...

However, I'm not sure about the answer... I know a lot of people Plant liked to cover, I'm just not sure which one the band hates though! LOL

 

Plant was a big moby grape fan, and the rest of the band hated them.

here's one a little more clear cut.

describe the circumstances of the band's first encounter with heroin.

 

That question was a bit misleading, as it points towards them having actually covered a Moby Grape song in concert, which they haven't.

It is true though, that the rest of the band didn't exactly share Robert's enthusiasm for said group.

I'm going to step out now before this well gets dry and I find a question like, "What colour pants was Jimmy wearing when he met Lori Maddox" ..

Keep the spirit alive people.

 

Aww Come on, Jim! You always ask such good questions... stay with us...

Where the heck is green shades?

This is one of the few threads I like.. *cries in despair* Why don't we open that thread you wanted about Page/Plant, etc?

 

It's 28 years this week since their legendary six show stint at the LA Forum in 1977!

I'll be listening to all 6 nights in chronologial order as usual. :H

 

I am just stuffed with work... The signature tells it all. It's the week of the tapir.

 

An easy question:

Link Fairport Convention to Led Zeppelin. (The answer is just a name)
