Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown
fourth episode of Zepp pills Christmas Eve '68 the boys Grant and the newly hired tour manager Richard Cole set off for their first US tour (opening act for Vanilla Fudge). It's the beginning of an unprecedented adventure filled with unparalleled music, unforgettable concerts, and excesses of every kind (alcohol, sex, drugs) in unfathomable quantities—this is the start of Led Zeppelin. Meanwhile, in November, Grant secured from Atlantic an unprecedented contract for an up-and-coming band still without an album, with a crazy advance and, above all, a revolutionary clause that guaranteed the band complete artistic control—essentially, they would organize their own tours and concerts, tipping the promoters instead of the other way around! The album was released in the States on January 17 and in England on March 28—between January and October '69, they held over 100 concerts, devouring everything in front of them: 3 American tours, 2 English ones, and 1 Scandinavian tour.
