Many moons ago, at the height of Led Zeppelin’s success, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page had an idea. They would buy an old bus and convert it into a kind of travelling stage on wheels.
“We were going to have a hydraulic side on it, which would open up, and a small generator underneath it, so we could do acoustic shows anywhere,” says Plant. “We could drive through the world and just set up and play. The exchange of energy when you don’t pump the thing up is priceless.”
