Led Zeppelin have released Episode 4 of “History of Led Zeppelin,” the fourth in a series of short stories celebrating the band’s history. You can check out the video above.
Episode 4 chronicles the continued “rise of Led Zeppelin,” with their self-titled debut entering the Top Ten in the U.S. and U.K.. The band commences the recording of Led Zeppelin II at London’s Olympic Studios and then kicks off a spring U.S. tour in San Francisco, where they preview songs that will appear on the new album.
The new series is the latest in a line of offerings celebrating the 50th anniversary of the release of Led Zeppelin’s debut in 1969, and follows digital-only music collections, a 400-page photo book and a 50th anniversary documentary, among other products. Additionally, Page teamed up with Fender to recreate the 1959 Telecaster (in both “Mirror” and “Dragon” iterations) that he used to record Led Zeppelin.
