They generally record some scratch tracks with the entire band playing with baffles, iso booths to isolate tracks.... micing has to be precise to prevent phase cancellation. Individual instruments are then overdubbed, replacing those that were already recorded...some of the original tracks stay of course...
"they" meaning rock bands...particularily back in the day. These days things are much more sterile, much more controlled by the dub and built from scratch up... it shows, as cutting live first always shows more energy.
The sound quality of these particular outtakes is outstanding...
The background sounds of music may very well be the playback going through Bonham's headphones, which would indicate that these were overdubs...hence the excellent sound quality.
(have to get out my sampling software and steal that kick and snare!)
