Classic Albums Live - Led Zeppelin II

Remember when you used to listen to an entire album? Classic Albums Live does.

“All of our focus is put into the music,” says Martin. “We don’t bother with imitation or impersonation. The bands are big — upwards of eleven pieces. We research these albums and go to great lengths to reproduce each and every sound live. We never use tape or computers. We’ll bring in a children’s choir, a sitar player, a string quartet, whatever it takes to get it right.”

With elements of blues and folk music, Led Zeppelin II has been cited by music writers as a blueprint for heavy metal bands that followed it. Blues-derived songs like "Whole Lotta Love", "Heartbreaker", "The Lemon Song", "Moby Dick", and "Bring It On Home" have been seen as representing standards of the genre. The album is generally considered to be very influential on the development of rock music, being an early forerunner of heavy metal.
