“It was 50 years ago today / That Led Zeppelin first came out to play...”

Okay, so maybe we shoehorned that little factoid into the opening lines of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” for our own amusement, but it’s nonetheless a true statement.

Well, mostly, anyway.

Technically, it wasn’t the debut of Led Zeppelin, it was the debut of The New Yardbirds, and if you don’t know this story, we’ll just give you the nutshell version: when The Yardbirds broke up, they were still legally obligated to perform several concerts in Scandinavia, and when Jimmy Page was given authorization by his former bandmates to use the band’s name to fulfill those obligations, he put together a new lineup that included – wait for it – John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant.

So, yes, the first time that the four members of Led Zeppelin played together in front of an audience was 50 years ago today at the Gladsaxe Teen Clubs in Gladsaxe, Denmark. They just weren’t called Led Zeppelin yet.

But, hey, that’s still close enough to make this a perfect day to reissue one of the band’s albums, which brings us to the really important news: as of now, you can pick up a copy of the long-awaited reissue of the soundtrack to THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME.
