It's an elaborate visual history told in 350-plus color and black-and-white photos. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham are captured on and off stage, recording in studios and passing time on tour snoozing on planes and hanging at motel pools.

The pictures were shot by photographers around the world and drawn from the band members’ personal collections. Many have never previously been published. The book is a fitting salute to one of the most innovative and influential rock bands in history.

Formed in 1968 after Page left the Yardbirds, Zeppelin helped pioneer and then dominated such trends as album rock, heavy metal, arena rock and debauchery. With a monstrous roar that tapped into blues, folk and psychedelia, the band owned the ’70s despite its refusal to release singles or indulge the media.

Exciting is the word.” of <h3>December 1968</h3> <h4>John Paul Jones</h4> John Paul Jones, born John Richard Baldwin, began playing piano at six, studied music formally and was doing constant studio session work before Page invited him to join the “new” Yardbirds. He contributed much of the band’s inventive shifting time signatures and teamed with Bonham to forge a strong danceable groove absent in most metal music.

of <h3>December 1968</h3> <h4>John Bonham</h4> Ranked first in Rolling Stone’s list of 100 greatest drummers of all time, Bonham was hailed for his speed and power. In a 1971 interview cited in Led Zeppelin By Led Zeppelin, he says, “The playing was good, even the first time we played together. There’s a feeling, you know when you’re playing in a group whether it’s going to be any good or not and it was good, very good indeed.” Led Zeppelin disbanded after Bonham died in 1980 at age 32 of alcohol-related asphyxia.
