A new film, "Becoming Led Zeppelin," explores the band's unusual formation. It highlights their first rehearsal in 1968, where bassist John Paul Jones described the experience as explosive, marking the beginning of their legendary career. The film details how each member's background contributed to the band's creation. Guitarist Jimmy Page, vocalist Robert Plant, and drummer John Bonham came together after a series of chance meetings and recommendations, leading to their iconic lineup.
