Led Zeppelin was formed in 1968 after the Yardbirds disbanded. Jimmy Page had the right to the name "The Yardbirds" but all the original members... Chris Dreja, Jim McCarthy and Keith Relf were done with it all. Jimmy Page and Peter Grant searched for new musicians and came up with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. The first song they played together was "Train-Kept a Rollin'" and they played their first show as Led Zeppelin at the Marquee in 1968 shortly after their first blues based album "Led Zeppelin " would come out and outsell former Yardbird Jeff Beck's album Truth. Hope that helps
