Led Zeppelin: A Celebration at 50 - A Rock Show Special
Brian May, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and many more reveal their memories of Led Zeppelin.
To mark what would have been John Bonham's 75th birthday, another chance to hear a celebration of Led Zeppelin, that originally aired as a band 50th anniversary special. So what better way to celebrate than a special show, featuring some of the biggest names in rock paying homage to Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and the late great John Bonham.
Hear Brian May, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons all chat about their own appreciation of rock's ultimate four-piece. Plus, singer Ann Wilson from Heart explains how her band has its origins in Led Zep's back catalogue and how she managed to sing Led Zeppelin's most famous song for the band themselves.
In autumn 1968, Led Zeppelin signed to Atlantic Records. 50 years later, US rockers Rival Sons just signed to the same label. We hear from them to see what Zeppelin mean to the new generation. Plus, author Dave Lewis recounts his first Led Zeppelin experience and explains why he's followed the band around the world for over 40 years.
