The Ridiculous Joke Led Zeppelin Played on George Harrison and Stevie Wonder
If you went on tour with Led Zeppelin in the 1970s, you had to prepare yourself to be shocked. In the course of a few days, the band could wow 55,000 fans at a stadium, destroy a floor of a luxury hotel, and deal with flocks of teenage groupies. Or the band might do all that on the same night.
On the way to the Zep’s next concert, you might join a singalong aboard the band’s open-layout Starship jet or watch the touring manager pull a gun on a reporter. As Robert Plant once said, “When we do something, we just do it bigger and better than anybody else.”
That held for the practical jokes members of Zeppelin (especially John Bonham) love to pull. If Bonham wasn’t leaving a sleeping John Paul Jones in some hotel hallway, he might be flooding a bandmate’s room with the building fire hose.
