SONIC BOOM: THE IMPACT OF LED ZEPPELIN
OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE:
SEPTEMBER 7, 2008
Exactly 40 years after the group's
first-ever public appearance.
VOL 1: Break & Enter
Author Frank Reddon has conducted over 40 primary source interviews, starting with those who were right on the scene with
Led Zeppelin during its earliest days. To balance past and present, interviews from today's generation of collectors, musicians, deejays, educators, aficionados and others provide a well-rounded perspective of Led Zeppelin's musical influence and cultural legacy.
Experience Led Zeppelin's first-ever performance (September 7, 1968) as you go with Jimmy Page and The Yardbirds on their Scandinavian tour. First-hand accounts, exclusive pics of venues and hard-to-find memorabilia document their first gig better than anything we've seen in print to date.
Find out who helped Led Zeppelin "break & enter" the popular music scene on the band's first U.S. and Canadian tour of 1968-69 in such a big way:
- An awestruck drummer describes John Bonham's moves from stage-side
- Not all musicians liked Led Zeppelin. Find out who they were and why they didn't.
- Jimmy Page took a swipe at the promoter who introduced
Led Zeppelin as "formerly, The Yardbirds". If you don't know who he was, this book will tell you.
Whether you're a Led Zeppelin fan or a student of popular music culture in the 60s, you don't want to miss this book.
We'll ship Frank's book to our Enzepploziners first,
when available and while quantities last.
