Formation of the band Beginnings can be traced to the break-up the blues influenced
band The Yardbirds. Jimmy Page formed a new band called The New Yardbirds which
became Led Zeppelin. Page’s first choice vocalist was Terry Reid who declined but
suggested Robert Plant. Robert Plant in turn recommended John Bonham as the drummer. John Paul Jones then applied to be the bass player with his wife’s
encouragement.
August 1968 was when the band had their first jam session.
The chemistry was felt instantly as they blasted their way through Train Kept a Rollin.
