The webcast was groundbreaking at the time, seventeen (!) years ago. I dug up my old Electric Magic website archive from that time. Here's the announcement and banner ad I designed for the promotion:

Did John Paul Jones play with Led Zeppelin?John Richard Baldwin (born 3 January 1946), better known by his stage name John Paul Jones, is an English musician, composer and record producer who was the bassist and keyboardist for the rock band Led Zeppelin. Prior to forming the band with Jimmy Page in 1968, he was a session musician and arranger.
Why did John Paul Jones change his name Led Zeppelin?While working as a studio session musician prior to joining Zeppelin, a friend suggested Baldwin adopted the new moniker, reportedly inspired by the 1959 movie of the same name about the revolutionary war hero, often credited as the father of our country's navy.
Did John Paul Jones write any Led Zeppelin songs?'Royal Orleans' This is the only song on Led Zeppelin's stripped-down, backs-to-the-wall masterpiece on which Jones receives a songwriting credit, and as usual his bass playing is both nimble and muscular.
Was John Paul Jones any good?John Paul Jones is undeniably one of the finest musical masterminds of his generation, with a career spanning nearly 60 years, and an eclectic and unparalleled contribution to a variety of genres.
