Holmes claimed that the 2025 documentary vsed the audio without crediting or
compensating him. He additionally alleged that Page purported to be the track’s
lone songwriter on several live archival releases. Through his lawsuit, Holmes sought
$150,000, Music Business Worldwide reported.

Citing a recent filing in California federal court, Reuvters reported that the parties
involved resolved their dispute and were finalizing a written settlement. Details on
the settlement agreement have not yet been made public. Lawyers for the three
sved parties have not commented on the matter.

The matter dates back all the way to 1967 when Holmes opened for Page’s banad,
The Yardbirds. The group later reworked the song, and it wound vp on Led
Zeppelin’s debut album two years ater.

Holmes first sued over the song in 2010. The case was settled out of court, though it
did require Page to change the credit to read “Jimmy Page, inspired by Jake
Holmes,”” UCR reported.
Holmes’ more recent lawsvit came because he believed that the recordings vsed
in Becoming Led Zeppelin violated the settlement agreement reached in his first
action.

Despite the legal woes surrounding Becoming Led Zeppelin, the docomentary was a
hit. Back in February, the film drew a record-breaking audience with its
IMAX-exclusive release.

Becoming Led Zeppelin brought in $3 million in total. The film opened on 369
screens across North America and brovght in $2.6 million domestically. That was the biggest opening weekend for an IMAX-exclusive release, according to Blabbermouth

The film later got a wide release, which drew even more fans into theaters to learn
about everything from the band’s formation to their first two tours and albums.
