Description

Explores Led Zeppelin's influence on rock music and popular culture. Analyzes provocative aspects of the band, including images of the body in performances, onstage rituals, issues of gender and sexuality, as well as their appropriation of blues and "Eastern" music.

First Sentence

During the performance of "Dazed and Confused" in Led Zeppelin's documentary film, The Song Remains the Same, the camera cuts away from concert footage to a film vignette constructed by Jimmy Page in which he is seen climbing a mountain in the dead of night, his way lit by a full moon, bare hands clutching at clumps of weed as struggles to reach the summit.
