A revealing account of Led Zepplins 1975 North American tour including all- new interviews with-and insider information about-the band; from the bestselling author of Hammer of the Gods. As a young music journalist in 1975; Stephen Davis got the opportunity of a lifetime: an invitation to cover the sold-out 1975 North American tour of Led Zeppelin; the biggest and most secretive rock band in the world; for a national magazine. He received a backstage pass; was granted interviews with band members; and even got a prized seat on the bands luxurious tour jet; The Starship. While on duty; he chronicled the Zeppelin tour in three notebooks; but after writing his article in 1975 he misplaced them. After three decades of searching; in 2005 he finally found the notebooks; on the covers of which he had scribbled the words "LZ-75;" and unearthed an amazing amount of new information from the tour including: bull; Lost interviews with canny vocalist Robert Plant and the brilliant guitarist Jimmy Page bull; Information on the rock icon who moonlighted as a heroin dealer bull; Revelations about the identity of the lover about whom Robert Plant sings in "What Is and What Should Never Be" and "Black Country Woman" bull; A detailed chronicle of each performance from a musical perspective; and a vivid account of the band members extravagant; and often troubled; lives on tour Tied together by Daviss entertaining narrative; and including more than forty never-before-published photographs; LZ-75 is an unprecedented and comprehensive personal portrait of the greatest (and most notoriously press-shy) rock band in history at its apex.Watch a Video
