Led Zeppelin IV turns 50 today. Read how the band struck back at critics with its 1971 masterpiece
Most of the work was done in the winter of 1970–71 at Headley Grange, the ancient, damp, poorly heated country house Jones called “horrible.” Page, who meticulously produced Zeppelin records and was heard to declare, “I am the sound of Led Zeppelin,” made the house part of the production. By placing Bonham’s drum kit in a stone stairwell and hanging the microphones high above, he used the house’s natural acoustics to create the massive kick and snare sounds that open “When the Levee Breaks.
In a similar vein, “Rock and Roll” and “Misty Mountain Hop” were uptempo rockers that are still in heavy rotation on rock stations. The latter, which Plant later termed “hippie-dippy,” is a mischievous tale of being offered drugs in a park where people have “flowers in their hair,” an idyllic, Aquarius-era image that recurs in the plaintive, acoustic “Going to California,” inspired by Page and Plant’s devotion to folk singer Joni Mitchell, as well as their love of the West Coast.
Everyone at Headley Grange thought the first take was perfect – except Page, a taskmaster when he wasn’t stoned to the brink of unconsciousness, who hinted that it could be better. “Bonham is fuming at this point,” said recording assistant Richard Digby Smith, and on the second take, “he’s beating the crap out of his drums.” The second take was the keeper. Page had been right.
