Led Zeppelin’s music engineer, Glyn Johns spoke in an interview with SiriusXM and remembered the time when The Beatles guitarist George Harrison reacted to Led Zeppelin.
Here’s the story:
“I was working with The Stones around the same time this record [‘Led Zeppelin’] was made. We were putting together [1968’s] ‘The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus,’ which was a TV show which had a lot of different artists on it.
Just after I’d finished this record [‘Led Zeppelin’], I was going to a production meeting for that [‘The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus’].
We were all kicking around ideas of who should be on it and I took this record and played it at the production meeting to Mick [Jagger]. ‘Jimmy [Page] put this band together with John Paul Jones. It’s gonna be absolutely huge!’ But Mick didn’t get one side of it. Probably still doesn’t.
