And exactly the opposite here! There wasn't much money to spend on anything and everything though i thought the situation wasn't that bad during the late 70s/early 80s.
Money - they say it can't buy everything... But (unfortunately) I think it can.
Sorry to hear that Lena, must have been hard. A while back I worked with some folk's from your part of the world, they like it here better than there but they miss there home to.
The state's has it's pit fall's but the slandered of living is better (I believe) than most places in the world, I've never lived any where else but it seems to be that way.
I can remember when a gallon of gas was around 30 cent's (US) and in the mid 1970's I can still see my dad getting mad when 5 dollar's didn't fill the tank of our family car. I was 10 years old or so and he also told me about how expensive gas was over in Europe when he went there in the 1950's while he was in the Navy. "Boy, the price of gas over there was 2 and 3 dollar's a gallon"! Back in the state's at that time it was about a nickle or a dime a gallon!

Jimmy Page Jam with Poison
University of Nevada - Lawlor Events Center
May 14, 1991
Previously in this thread we investigated a Coverdale/Page jam session with Poison back in 1991. Since there is no confirmed press coverage all I've had to go on was word of mouth that it was during the encore, that both Coverdale and Page jammed on 'Rock And Roll', 'The Rover', and 'Stairway To Heaven' and that Jimmy did indeed fall into a hole on the stage.
Now, singer Bret Michaels clarifies the events of that evening:
It was lead guitarist C.C. DeVille's birthday. Jimmy Page came onstage with me and I had always been a Zeppelin freak. The place went insane. I was unbelievably excited, getting to play Rock And Roll with Page. And on top of that, he was going to play my brand-new Les Paul (Gibson guitar). It was the greatest day of my life.
There were these huge holes on stage to hold the fireworks. Page began moving toward one and it was like one of those scenes in a movie with the character going slow motion to try to stop a disaster. 'Nooooooo,' I was yelling, but he went down, luckily not landing on the fireworks, luckily not injuring himself, even though he fell 6 to 8 feet. My Les Paul snapped in half, but he got back up and continued to play with us. Still, even with that memory, I love to play Reno.
So it would seem this jam was limited to just Jimmy on 'Rock And Roll'. The search for
press coverage/photographs continues.
So the guitar snapped in two! I can see Jimmy getting up and calling to a stage hand for a new guitar! "Another axe please".
That would be a good one for the kid's when he get's old, yes sir, Jimmy Page broke my brand new guitar on that night. Or how about explaining it to the Gibson guy he get's his guitar's from .... I don't know man, it just broke in two! Ha Ha!
It's a good thing Jimmy didn't brake in two form the fall!

Khm.
Older generations loved Balkan rock&roll (which is also great). And I'm talking about southeast of Europe. I asked my mom (born 1954) and she said Deep Purple were popular back in the 70s, so does The Beatles (I guess)... Then I asked my best friend's parents and her dad showed me... All Zep albums.
They were listening to them in 77-79. People listened to Zep but not that much as in the US. Not even close. Europe was not made for Led Zeppelin apparently. These days kids in Serbia listen to Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC and pretty much anything metal. Oh, and three kids in my town listen Zep.
*Just to add: I don't think people had enough money to buy vinyls or go to the concerts back then (OR NOW). I still try to sneak on the concerts. It's too expensive for me.
*Money, that's the whole thing in a nut shell, back in the 1960's and 1970's the US was rolling in good time's! Prices where low and lot's of the population could afford to spend money on anything and everything! This why all the group's where concentrating on the state's with there selling and live show resources at that time.
It was just great business since to do that, they did it and I don't blame them one bit!

UPDATE:
The sessions for the first album began on September 27th, 1968 at Olympic Studio where according to studio records they recorded under the name The Yardbirds. The first two tracks are full band run through of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". "You Shook Me" is the very first take according to the voice of engineer Glyn Johns. It lasts for almost eight minutes and cuts out at the very end. There are three takes of "Tribute To Bert Burns", which surfaced in 1993 as "Baby Come On Home." This dates from the final day of recording. What follows is a half hour of guitar and organ exercises. It's
origin and purpose is a mystery and when they first surfaced it was claimed the organ player was Steve Winwood.
Bottom line: let's change the sessions from Abbey Road to Olympic.
This line's up with what I've read and heard, the only exception is of the final day of the recording session's. I remember seeing an interview with Robert Plant saying that they where in the studio for about a month for the project so the start date of 9/27/68 and end date of 10/10/68 would be a bit unclear.
Unless, the end date is referring to the end of tracking before going on to any edit, overdub, processing and then finish mixing, the rest of that time frame being what Mr. Plant was talking about.

John Paul Jones Acoustic 360 Bass Amp
Imagine a bass amp so special that people just want to touch it, inhale the dust, and have their picture taken next to it. Any Acoustic 360 from the 1960's is a rare find, but this one's iconic. John Paul Jones used this amp and cabinet on stage with Led Zeppelin as early as the Bath Festival on June 28, 1969, continuing until 1976. You can see the stack in the Led Zeppelin 1976 concert movie "The Song Remains The Same," chronicling the band's 1973 Houses of the Holy tour.
Acoustic Amplification snagged this beauty at a recent (July 2008) Christie's auction. We were fortunate to be there to capture the uncrating on video.

This film clip documents the unpacking of the crate:
I used to have an Acoustic sub cabinet like the one in that un-boxing video for Jone's old rig. My cabinet had a Cerwin-Vega speaker instead of the stock one that came in the Acoustic.
Powered it with a Roland 200 watt rack mount power amp, what a refrigerator it was! But It was a great cabinet for getting all the sub frequencies that I needed for my Bass guitar and Midi-Step foot pedal's.
I sold it about a year or two later to a DJ after I finished college in 1997, sure he made good use of it!
That would have been a good thing for Jone's to autograph for my own little John Paul Jone's keep sake!

That actually look's aright for the 1980's if you ask me Ev. Sort-a like the early Iron Maden singer (I forget his name) who dressed like Fonzy from Happy Day's. The hair is different but the black leather jacket and so forth is right in there!

I wore black crushed velvet pants in high school in 1981. Between that, my snakeskin boots and my perm, I couldn't help but get punched out. Wrong place. Wrong time.
You look elegant btw, AEN.

...Then, I guess this confirms the Location/Venue for Zep Photo that you earlier located by photographer George Desota in the Master Forum Zep Photo, Since the attire was worn only on one particular date.........
(The phone number, though, I was unsuccessful in reading in its' entirety).
Here are the matching photos from from the other thread:
