1. Who was first?
Bowie or Zep? But I am not doubting you because Zep ripped off Memphis Minnie and Robert Johnson on "When the the Levee Breaks" and "The Lemon Song". No royalties whatsoever to the descendants of the aforementioned artists. And, whenever someone sings "When the Levee Breaks", they are likely paying Robert Plant. And while I like Zep, that is still just plain wrong. Memphis Minnie's people deserve that money.

2. Big Brother was on Diamond Dogs 1974
In Through the Out Door was 1979 IIRC.
