And You Know How It Is? Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Steve, Great pictures! I am so glad you had a camera to capture the venue's timeline behind the theater. Wasn't able to capture that with my camera phone last visit! It really is amazing, when you look at that timeline, with all the history and performers, that they singled out Zep's show there in 1969. You've inspired me! On my next trip to Seattle later this summer, I will bring my camera and photograph Gold Creek Park, where Zep played the only Seattle Pop Fest in Woodinville, on July 27, 1969. Even though this thread has produced only a couple of pictures of the festival (and there has to be more pictures somewhere in the Seattle media archives, including pictures of Zep onstage), I now know where the general area was where the festival was held.

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go to Woodinville when I made this pilgrimmage, however I'll be back in town (Seattle) on the 15th of this month and staying the night. Perhaps we could photograph Gold Creek Park as a team? If memory serves correct Ally visited the Seattle newspaper archives in person and found that whatever Led Zeppelin photographs they may have had on file from the Seattle Pop Festival have long since been plundered. None on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's done far more research on this than I have ...Ally,(I just saw this post) in addition to what I posted here already with the help of Librarians, I have not yet explored Special Collections Dept. at UofW (as recommended to me). They likely have extensive photograph collections...as you know it is difficult to research at distance... The Helix is available at Public Library, as indicated in my previous post. It is dated July 31, 1969. There is confirmed article the very least...(see my previous post)...I can get this... As for Vlad,I thought about contacting him, but yet the Photo-bio is being produced by Page...I wonder if the archives of Vlad are being searched.... In my opinion, it is the U of W that can further lead to discovery of photographs through their archives and contact within the Seattle Historic Community.... ...later...

SteveAJones Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I just landed here in Seattle about an hour ago and there are no rental cars available at the airport. Fuck me. I had every intention of photographing Gold Creek Park in Woodinville and the Jimi Hendrix Memorial in Renton this afternoon. I'll try again next month. I guess I'll just go downtown for the evening and find something else to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And You Know How It Is? Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to go to Woodinville when I made this pilgrimmage, however I'll be back in town (Seattle) on the 15th of this month and staying the night. Perhaps we could photograph Gold Creek Park as a team? Hey Steve, Sorry I'm not able to meet you up there, it looks like I won't get up to Seattle until the second or third week next month. Hope you have found a rental car, based on your post today! Tell you what though: if you do make it out to Woodinville, I'm pretty confident the skating rink is still there. I thought I remembered seeing it, when I looked for the location a couple of months ago. Caution if you make it to Woodinville: signs in Woodinville say that Gold Creek Park is in the Hills, which technically is correct (on 156th street or something like that, if memory serves). But, judging by the pictures taken in this thread, the venue was definitely in the flat land valley part of Woodinville, and close to the skating rink.

SteveAJones Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for the tip. I'll be back in Seattle again next month and will try then. I did get about 100 shots of the Hendrix Memorial Gravesite and will post some of the best soon. I'm exhausted now LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetPage Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thank you to Ms. Higashiyama, Toby and Kreg for their kindest assistance, deeply appreciative for answering my inquiries with perfection and Providing us with these historic articles to follow...thank you!!!! Excerpt from email today from Linda Higashiyama,Library Associate III,Magazine and Newspapers Dept.Seattle Public Library "I was able to find one article from the Post-Intelligencer, and one article and photograph from the Seattle Times newspapers. However, the Seattle Times article and photograph did not include Led Zeppelin, but I thought you might be able to use it in context of general information concerning the festival itself. Please note that the file names are citation information, in case you will be citing this for a book, magazine article, or website." additional information via email from Ms. Higashiyama, re. other publications surrounding Woodenville area The Seattle Public Library has both the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Seattle Times on microfilm. As a public library, we also have issues with high-usage of our collection. I was able to check the microfilm of both papers, and unfortunately, there are scratches on our films for both papers. Thank you also for the information from your additional "Ask-a-Question" session regarding the "Helix" magazine. The Helix was a weekly publication based in Seattle. I've checked all of the November and December 1969 issues hoping to find an advertisement or review of the Led Zeppelin performance, but there wasn't anything in any of these. I'm not sure if it wasn't covered, since it was held in Woodinville as opposed to Seattle, or if it wasn't very well covered because the 1969 Seattle Pop Festival was the first one held. Additionally, I checked the Music File in our Arts, Recreation and Leisure department to see if there were any articles that may have been clipped during that time period regarding Led Zeppelin or the Seattle Pop Festival, but was unsuccessful. I also checked our print sources to see if there were any Woodinville newspapers published in the late 60s, but did not find any listings (as late as the late 70s, Woodinville was mostly farmland). I also checked to see if there were any Bothell newspapers in publication at the time, since Bothell is the nearest city to Woodinville, but did not find any listings. The next closest city would be Kirkland, and the local newspaper at the time was published under the name, "East Side Journal" in the 1960s. ...The Helix has confirmed pictures and articles July 31, 1969...I will check this later...along with East Side Journal...the History Piece posted at the beginning of this thread by Alley quotes this publication, I don't know about pictures...will look into later... ........ Update: Seattle Pop Concert Promoter Boyd Grafmyre informs the fan community the following by email that I received July 20, 2010: we are currently putting many things together for a future book and DVD package. We are reaching out to many friends and musicians that have performed for me over the years for music and photos we can show all who are interested in that time in history. I brought Led Zeppelin over for their first tour of the states and many tours to fallow. A wonderful story is our days in Maui that we will be talking about in your new DVD. Boyd Special Collections at U of W referred my inquiry to Carrol Marr, Librarian of Museum and History Seattle, Wa - Her email on July 23rd, 2010: Unfortunately, our Seattle Post-Intelligencer Collection does not have any photos of the July 1969 festival at Gold Creek Park in Woodinville. I know that it was famous around here, so it is strange that we don’t have any photos. If The Seattle Times published any photos from the festival, they may be able to provide an image. If you can find someone to look at the microfilm version of the newspaper that would be a start. ...articles mentioned posted already herein... Update on Photographer Vlad - Who has photographed The Seattle Pope Festival: Very thankful to Veteran Freelance Journalist Mike Quigley from Vancouver for updating the fan community - particularly, Photographer named "Vlad" who has photographed The Seattle Pop Festival. Mike Quigley accompanied Vlad to this historic Event: His Response via Email - July 25th, 2010: "I haven't had any contact with Vlad for almost 40 years. His name was Vlad Keremedeschieff. There was a "photo essay" by Vlad in the Vancouver Province of July 29, 1969 which contained several pictures from the Seattle Pop Festival (this was very unusual in the paper, in my experience). Unfortunately, Led Zeppelin was not included. There was also a photo by Vlad of Robert Plant accompanying a review I did of Led Zeppelin's first Vancouver concert (unknown date)." The article review/photo is from Led Zeppelin May 10, 1969 Vancouver / Canada / PNE Agrodome - I will post this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
