Led Zeppelin Documentary – The Making of Houses Of The Holy – Episode 1



The mighty fifth album journey began right after the release of Led Zeppelin IV in late 1971. A special recording at Island Studios set things in motion in the middle of expectations promoting Stairway To Heaven, Black Dog and Rock and Roll. A retrospective look including the β€œlost” Australian Tour of 1972 and Robert’s first signs of losing his high range vocals. #ledzeppelin #jimmypage #robertplant #johnpauljones #documentary #johnbonham #classicrock

  1. This is the first Zeppelin LP I heard (late 70’s)!! My mother had it in her collection of Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears & Beatles LPs. Never found out what song got her to buy it (probably D’yer)☺️. Interesting stuff laid out by you again 😎 Love how you added the β€˜beard’ shaving in the timeline!!!

  2. Born in the mid 60s I never had a favorite band per se.. but I did have every one of Led Zeppelin’s albums. Johnny winner was a big win with me also. But houses of the holy was an extra special album. There is something about it. It was so different than the previous releases. It was great for my friends and I it really was.

  3. Remember, when Jimmy page did slide guitar in the Led Zeppelin songs? His technique was like no other and I’m a big fan of slide guitar. Johnny winner, the Allman Brothers, but he had a unique style that almost sounded like something else not even a guitar I don’t know how he did it, but look back on his slide play it’s not normal technique.

  4. I must assure you officer – there is nothing nefarious about our album cover -it is purely art and mysticism –
    These children are merely there to juxtapose with the harshness of the rocks they are climbing naked πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  5. I’m sorry, houses of the holy was not progressive rock imo.
    Just rock & roll music.
    Asia, Yes & Rush were progressive in the early 80s .

    I still love the documentariesπŸ‘

  6. Your documentaries really pierce through the very thick enigmatic image of led zeppelin. I understand them as people far more after watching your docs. These are gonna be much cherished by zep fans for a long time, assuming they don’t get pulled down. Thanks

  7. Awesome informative video! Thank you. Houses of the Holy is my favorite Zeppelin album. It’s one of those that can’t be played loud enough. Reminds me of summer. First time I heard it was my brother playing it on his 8-track boom box.
    Every song great , I was and am still hooked.

  8. I LOVE the – Houses of the Holy 2014 Deluxe Edition.
    No Quarter – minus the vocal is great. Specially near the end where to my shock I was able to here some more of Boham's drums that was buried under Plant's singing.

  9. Another incredible Video!!!! As a lifelong ZEP fan and amateur musician it is a real treat to see all these amazing video clips of the mighty Zeppelin at the top of their game and recording and touring. And the fact that you’re not only a fan as well but an accomplished, educated musician really takes it to another level as far as how informative these videos are overall. Thank you soo much for this!! It was extremely enjoyable!!!

  10. You are doing a fantastic thing for young musicians. They have a credible resource for learning about this music, the right way. Any time a student or group is assigned Zep from here on, they need to watch your videos. They are credible, not bias, and give resourceful explanations in thoughtful and historical relevance. I mean we cannot go back to the past, but thank you so much again for doing this to provide good insight and music education for young musicians. Thank you!

  11. Your sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Your documentaries are above and beyond what words can express.. very inspiring.
    Hopefully, one day, you can dig deeper into your love of ELP- Brain Salad Surgery and Deep Purple-Made in Japan.
