“Thank you, we’re going to run it, but you failed.” “I want to tell you about your Led Zeppelin story,” Wenner said to Crowe. In HBO’s new documentary Rolling Stone: Stories From the Edge, produced by Wenner with Alex Gibney and Blair Foster, Crowe recalls the encounter.

In 1975, Led Zeppelin finally gave an interview to Rolling Stone.
