00:00I got my first drum kit when I was 10. I was listening to rock and roll coming from America.
00:08That's a sound I would really like to make. John's wife used to say, don't you dare play
00:14with that planty. He's a complete disaster. I'm gonna form my own band and I know what
00:24it is that I want to do with it. Oh, Jimmy's forming a band. You should give him a call.
00:28So I did. The first time we played together, you could say it was going to be a good group.
00:33It was an electric atmosphere and that had been what I'd been waiting for.
00:38Jimmy produced the album. I wanted it to be something that they hadn't heard before.
00:45The press, it didn't seem to like us. It got ripped to pieces. People wouldn't even book the
00:49band. The manager of Peter Grant gets a tour together in America. We're backstage at the
00:56Fillmore and Peter says, if you don't crack it here, it's over. So we were going to go
01:02in there like with a hatchet. Everyone knew that was a life-changing experience. We toured
01:14for months on end. It was a whirlwind. People are bashing down the doors to get in. It's
01:19just absolutely ridiculous. I was just out there throwing it up in the air. We just
01:30recorded what we liked. It really dovetailed together. We were going to be called Leg Zeppelin.
01:47I thought, that's a terrible name. I couldn't come up with a better one. So Leg Zeppelin we were.
