“Becoming Led Zeppelin” traces the British rock band’s swift ascent.
"Becoming Led Zeppelin" chronicles the rise of the rock band, shown here in its early years: bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones , singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and guitarist Jimmy Page.Two of Led Zeppelin’s members hail from Swinging ‘60s London, while the other two come from the Black Country — the sooty region in England’s West Midlands that helped launch the Industrial Revolution.
“It was interesting to see the development of the band … the audience is almost scared because we were playing they never heard before,” guitarist-bandleader Jimmy Page told me in 2003, discussing concert footage from 1969 for a story inAfter the Texas International Pop Festival, the band played 11 more concerts in Dallas-Fort Worth through 1977, all at the Dallas Memorial Auditorium or Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth.

Page, Plant and company were also influenced by “Terraplane Blues,” which Johnson recorded in San Antonio in 1936. Its automotive double entendres paved the way for Zep’s sexy car stomp “Trampled Under Foot.”In 1939, between several prison sentences, Leadbelly recorded “Gallows Pole,” a traditional lament about trying to outrun the hangman.
