The trailer for the highly anticipated Led Zeppelin documentary, ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin,’ has made its way from theaters to YouTube, thanks to an audience member who filmed it off the big screen. The trailer has sparked a flurry of activity among Zeppelin enthusiasts, who have been quick to dissect the trailer’s contents. Notably, the trailer includes unreleased footage of the band performing at the Atlanta Pop Festival on July 5th, 1969, and home videos from 1968 featuring drummer John Bonham and his family.
Some fans have pointed out that the “never-before-heard interview with John Bonham” is actually a 1972 Australian radio interview with Robert Plant and Bonham, which has been widely available for years.
Becoming Led Zeppelin chronicles the band’s formation and rise to fame through their second album, Led Zeppelin II. The trailer showcases early footage of the band members, including a 14-year-old Jimmy Page performing on TV in 1958, Robert Plant during his grammar school days, John Paul Jones doing session work in 1966, and a young John Bonham playing drums.
