Trampled Under Foot The Power and Excess of Led Zeppelin

It's an old story, you might say, but one rarely told on such a scale of success or excess. For the better part of a decade, Led Zeppelin was the greatest group on the planet...'
From Barney Hoskyns, founder of Rock's Backpages and author of Hotel California and Lowside of the Road, his acclaimed life of Tom Waits, Trampled Under Foot is the essential music book for 2012.
A unique look at the history, adventures, myths and realities of this most legendary and powerful of bands, it is a labour of love based on hours offirst-handand original interviews. What emerges is a compelling portrait of the four musicians themselves, as well as a fresh insight into the close-knit entourage that protected them, from Peter Grant to Richard Cole to Ahmet Ertegun, giant figures from the long-vanished world of 1970s rock.
Featuring many rare and never before seen photographs, it is also the first book on Led Zeppelin to coversuch recent events as their triumphant 2007 O2 Arena gig and Robert Plant'sGrammy-winning resurgence of recent years.
