ON THIS DATE 55 YEARS AGO ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ROCK OUTFITS OF ALL TIME MADE THEIR NAME OFFICAL AT A GIG AT THE ROUNDHOUSE IN LONDON…LED ZEPPELIN APPEARED ON THE SMAE BILL AS JOHN LEE HOOKER AND OTHERS AND LEFT THE YARDBIRDS BEHIND FOR GOOD WITH A POSTER THAT STATED THAT THEY ARE NOW KNOWN AS LED ZEPPELIN…THEIR SET DIDNT’ START TIL 2 AM AND THEY WERE PAYED A MEASLY 150 POUNDS…BUT THAT RATE OF PAY WOULD SKY ROCKET IN THE COMING MONTHS AS THE MIGHTY ZEPP BEGAN TO TAKE HOLD OF AN INTERNATIONAL FAN BASE AND VENTURED OUT ON A U.S. TOUR. BUT THE DEBUT SHOW ISN’T THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES TODAY’S DATE HISTORICAL, EARLIER IN THE DAY, ROBERT PLANT GOT MARRIED TO MAUREEN WILSON…I GUESS THE SHOW WAS THE HAPPY COUPLES RECEPTION! LED ZEPPELIN…THE ORIGINAL STADIUM HARD ROCKERS…SO INFLUENTIAL AND OFFICIALLY 55 YEARS OLD TODAY….AT THAT ROUNDHOUSE SHOW THERE WASN’T A “COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN” BUT THEY DID ROCK THAT NOW ICONIC TUNE…IT’S TODAYS ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X
