What you've got to be aware of that this is the transition line up after Jeff Beck left The Yardbirds.

Jimmy Page, after playing with Beck in The Yardbirds and on Becks Bolero (on the JBG Truth album), blatantly ripped off what Beck was trying to do (and actually doing live) and formed the definitve Led Zep.

Plant and Bonham were needed as can be seen from that clip above.... (and the fact that Beck had Rod Stewart, in his prime, as a powerful vocalist in The Jeff Beck Group, showed him the way to go)

JPG formed early 1967, definitve LZ formed summer 1968.

......and LZ had Peter Grant as the manager, 'nuff said,

.......but Beck started it all! :ph34r:

He did. The Jeff Beck Group was a force of nature. Their gigs were the first where you could say the band [i]rocked[/i].

LZ and Deep Purple followed a year later and the rest after that.

JBG, along with early days Cream, definitely started it all.
