| 2016 24 July On This Day Thank You from Jimmy Page |
There are so many On This Day images and other stuff for this day that it was worth a new blog post for 24 July.
- 1967 The Yardbirds - Little Games album released
- 1969 Led Zeppelin receives first Gold Record Award
- 1973 Led Zeppelin - Pittsburgh,PA at Three Rivers Stadium
- 1977 Led Zeppelin - Oakland,CA at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (day 2)
- 1979 Led Zeppelin - Copenhagen Denmark at Falkoner Theatre
As Jimmy Page has said in interviews, Led Zeppelin, the original album is in a way his favorite because it is the one that started it all. Although it took just 36 hours' studio time (over the course of a few weeks) it was nevertheless a long time coming. Jimmy Page knew the sound he wanted, he knew where he wanted to go with the music, and he simply made it happen when the time was ripe.
"I wanted artistic control in a vice grip, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with these fellows. In fact, I financed and completely recorded the first album before going to Atlantic... It wasn't your typical story where you get an advance to make an album—we arrived at Atlantic with tapes in hand... Atlantic's reaction was very positive – I mean they signed us, didn't they?"
