rushed to his studio to record immediately. "During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Eretgun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord. For us he WAS Atlantic Records and remained a close friend and conspirator - this performance stands alone as our tribute to the work and the life of our long standing friend," said Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin during the tribute concert for Eretgun.

the whole rock scene and exploded its popularity way past what people thought it could ever be. Other Groups like Led Zeppelin with its classic hit Stairway to Heaven really taught people what rock was really about making people feel emotions they didn’t even knew they had.
