From the Club to the Top of the World
That debut show featured songs that would eventually appear on the band’s first album, songs like Communication Breakdown, Dazed and Confused, and You Shook Me. But this show paled in comparison with the ones they would later have at the Forum in Los Angeles or at Earls Court in London.

Still, that gig in the Teen Club was a defining moment that can’t be overstated. It was Led Zeppelin’s first step in their rise to the top. And if anyone deserves credit, it’s Jimmy Page for making it all happen. But there’s also another man who is worthy of a nod, and that’s Peter Grant. Grant was the band’s manager and the one who made them rich. Really rich.
