Plantation about Achilles Last Stand - In 1975, on a short family holiday in Rhodes in the middle of a punishing tour, Plant’s car spun off the road, leaving an elbow and an ankle badly broken; he was in a wheelchair for seven months. This was the first track he recorded, on crutches, back at the microphone. “The whole of that album, Presence, is absolutely wracked with pain. Plus, the fraternity of the band at the time was stretched to breaking point.” Years later, he played a new girlfriend this song. “The two of us sitting in a little room on the Welsh borders, and me telling her: ‘If you want to know what I was like at the end of Zeppelin, really, this was it.’ After it, she said: ‘I don’t want to be left alone in a room with that. It’s too much.’ That’s what it was in the end: too much.” -- source link
