LZ75 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 There was a super cool photo (at least to me) of Jimmy Page in a magazine (possibly Creem or Hit Parader) from the early seventies. I've looked everywhere for it, in books, Google Images, etc. The photo is of Jimmy tuning his #1 Les Paul, you can't see his face (just his hair), he is sitting down, and I believe he is wearing a red short sleeve polo type shirt (very unusual for Jimmy). It has to be a very early photo from say 69-71. It is just such a candid shot and one of the best of his Les Paul that was taken off stage. Please post if you know of it ... it's just one of those photos that made such an impression on a young kid. Thanks in Advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I think you might be thinking of a picture from this session of a soundcheck in Amsterdam 72'. Let me know if I'm right and I'll dig for more to find the one you're on about. Edited August 21, 2017 by TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZ75 Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 First, awesome photos, thanks. But it's not from that session. About ten years ago on some obscure Zep site a guy found it for me so my memory has been renewed since the early seventies. I believe he said it was at a Canadian concert. It's a color picture, Jimmy in a red shirt sitting down with his head bowed in heavy concentration over his Les Paul, but you can't see his face, just his hair hanging down. I hope this helps.

IpMan Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I believe I remember another, very similar picture of Jimmy taken around early 1970 that sounds almost spot on to what you are describing, except it is not the #1 LP but rather his Black Beauty he is tuning while sitting down.

IpMan Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Nope, neither of those. I believe the picture I am referring to is in black and white, Jimmy is wearing a crombie, and he is tuning his BB. However the picture above with Jimmy in black & red shirt looks like what the OP was possibly referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZ75 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 OP here, that's the one!!! I was wrong the shirt was black with red trim and not red. Thanks big time. As a kid I would stare at that picture while listening to the albums. I'm a gear head and that picture of #1 in natural light is awesome, plus the fact it still had the cream/white bobbin bridge pickup up on it before it failed. Thanks again!!!
