Reviews
"As he did with his book on the Beatles, Bob Spitz uses deep research and a wide lens to create the single most comprehensive book about a legendary band. So much of Zeppelin's history is cemented in lore that hardcore fans may feel they know 'all' the history already, but Spitz's great accomplishment is to make every corner of LZ's history--from their 1968 debut to their Berlin swan song--feel fresh again. You simply don't want this story to end, or this book." --Charles R. Cross, author of Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain and Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix "Bob Spitz shows Led Zeppelin as the iconoclasts they were, grinding the self-consciousness of rock 'n roll in the 70s into submission without a backward glance. Infamous stories from the road, tales of excess, dominance, and ego are balanced by the band's insatiable desire for heat and beauty. This is the story of poetry and power, rape and pillage, of rock 'n roll incarnate. A valuable recording of rock art history. So well done!" --Ann Wilson, Heart "As he did with his magisterial The Beatles , Bob Spitz tells the story of Led Zeppelin with a poet's heart, and with a knowledge of that sweep of musical and cultural history that is breathtaking. Every detail, from their formation via leader Jimmy Page's Yardbirds to their last show, in Munich, in 1979--the recordings, the live shows, the business, the debauchery, the way it all landed in the world--is explored with sophistication. And the book makes a serious contribution to the #MeToo canon. Panoramic, viscerally exciting, and sociologically majestic: books on popular culture simply don't get any better than this." --Sheila Weller, author of Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation "Bob Spitz always gets right to the heart of the story, whether it's the story of Dylan, the Beatles, or Julia Child. This story, the outrageous story of Led Zeppelin and all its rock 'n roll craziness, is right here in these pages." --Graham Nash "From LZ's guitar-god origins through its boozy, drug-addled decline, Bob Spitz doesn't miss a riff, solo or trashed hotel room. But like the band itself, what emerges most profoundly is the historic, stop-what-you're-doing sound--loud, bluesy, unapologetic. This is everything you could want in a rock biography." --Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins, "As he did with his book on the Beatles, Bob Spitz uses deep research and a wide lens to create the single most comprehensive book about a legendary band.

This story, the outrageous story of Led Zeppelin and all its rock 'n roll craziness, is right here in these pages." --Graham Nash, "A doorstop biography befitting the premier rock band of the 1970s." -- Kirkus Reviews "Music biographer Spitz ( The Beatles ) calls on his supreme research and analytical skills to deliver the definitive story of one of the greatest rock groups of the 1970s. While this isn''t the first (or second) telling of the Zeppelin saga, it reigns superior to its predecessors with an exhaustive history that never flags in momentum or spirit. He takes an unsparing look at how the band''s massive success snowballed into a ''heedless hedonism'' that led to their decline and disbanding . . . For all the excess and cruelty Spitz recounts, his passion for the band''s musical genius will captivate rock enthusiasts." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Wielding his signature tools of meticulous reporting, piercing analysis and trenchant writing, Bob Spitz proves again that he''s a modern master of cultural biography. Led Zeppelin: The Biography cuts through the myth and murk to reveal the true story of the biggest, bawdiest rock ''n'' roll band of the 1970s. Like the music they made, Led Zeppelin''s story is equal parts inspiring, electrifying and shocking. Led by the most brutal manager in the business, the quartet blitzed the world like a marauding army, crushing critical resistance and sales records as easily as they seduced groupies and consumed mammoth quantities of booze and drugs. Spitz goes deeper and sees more clearly than any previous biographer, and his storytelling powers make it spellbinding." --Peter Carlin, author of Bruce and Sonic Boom "As he did with his book on the Beatles, Bob Spitz uses deep research and a wide lens to create the single most comprehensive book about a legendary band. So much of Zeppelin''s history is cemented in lore that hardcore fans may feel they know ''all'' the history already, but Spitz''s great accomplishment is to make every corner of LZ''s history--from their 1968 debut to their Berlin swan song--feel fresh again.

Synopsis
"In this authoritative, unsparing history of the biggest rock group of the 1970s, Spitz delivers inside details and analysis with his well-known gift for storytelling." - PEOPLE From the author of the iconic, bestselling history of The Beatles, the definitive account of arguable the greatest rock band of all time. Rock star. Whatever that term means to you, chances are it owes a debt to Led Zeppelin. No one before or since has lived the dream quite like Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. In Led Zeppelin , Bob Spitz takes their full measure, separating myth from reality with his trademark connoisseurship and storytelling flair. From the opening notes of their first album, the band announced itself as something different, a collision of grand artistic ambition and brute primal force, of English folk music and African American blues. Spitz's account of their artistic journey, amid the fascinating ecosystem of popular music, is irresistible. But the music is only part of the legend- Led Zeppelin is also the story of how the sixties became the seventies, of how innocence became decadence, of how rock took over. Led Zeppelin wasn't the first band to let loose on the road, but as with everything else, they took it to an entirely new level. Not all the legends are true, but in Spitz's careful accounting, what is true is astonishing and sometimes disturbing. Led Zeppelin gave no quarter, and neither has Bob Spitz. Led Zeppelin is the long-awaited full reckoning the band richly deserves., "In this authoritative, unsparing history of the biggest rock group of the 1970s, Spitz delivers inside details and analysis with his well-known gift for storytelling." -- PEOPLE From the author of the iconic, bestselling history of The Beatles, the definitive account of arguable the greatest rock band of all time.

  • Pulls No Punches

    Author likes some of Led Zep’s work but very obviously is not star struck. All-in-all an interesting and fascinating read especially for those of us who were in our teens or young adults during that era. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the palace intrigue that surrounds rock music and performers.
