Someone must have taken photos of the early UK shows too. More than just the two that are known about (that blurred colour pic plus the b&w pic that started the question over Bonzo's UK '68 kit in the first place)...
I fantasise that the 50th anniversary might jog a few memories and someone might think "hang on I was at that gig at the Roundhouse / Klooks Kleek / wherever, wonder if I took me camera?"

I don't know about unseen. And I'm not sure Sam would like pics being posted here from the book (not sure, just being careful)
There are a couple from the Marquee club and a couple from Teen Club, Gladsaxe, Denmark. A couple of them shows a fair chunk of Bonzo's kit.

There are quite a lot of early pics and 1968 is referenced. And quite a few are very nice intimate pics. Family or friends taking them I'd imagine. I have only briefly leafed through it, I'll have a closer look tonight after work.

I got my book and poster. It is a very nice book. Quality. A good annotations section at the back where the lads talk about the pics and context. A lot of beautiful photos in there. Surprisingly, there is very little 1977 comparatively. I though the LA Forum run alone would have been a few pages. Maybe too many pics showed too many "off chops" shots.
But very very delighted with it.

Just finished this - took me all weekend but I got there. A very experimental and adventurous outing that I think pays massive dividends. There is some really great lead/follow and trying out new threads in this set. Especially the heavy hitting numbers and right into the encore. It's a great listen.

Very good program. Season 2 has been good as well.
yeah, I am just not looking forward to whatever it was that f_cked up that woman. I don't know what it is yet, but it ain't going to be good. vHow about those religious nutbag parents too. Unreal....

Holy Crap this Version of Sick Again 77' Houston is beyond words. I am amazed how strong Zeppelin was live in 77' this is like a punch in the gut. In your face heavy rock. Yeah!! I know your name and no you don't look the same but sure did rock many moons ago!!!
Its also a great sounding soundboard - is that due to the remaster effort? Is there another '77 Sick again that has this A+ SB sound that was also a kick ass version???
Edit: 77-05-30 sounds ok (listening to the start)

It was the 70's...no snow, no show. Or in Jimmy's case, no horse, no, well, you get the idea. But seriously, Robert was a massive coke freak on this tour, the only member even remotely semi-sober was Jones as he preferred his copious amounts of weed AFTER a gig, not before.
As I have said earlier, Zeppelin in general were so fucked up on just about every pharmaceutical known to man in 77' that it became a rock and roll version of Fear and Loathing in LV. I am sure Jimmy had his own version of adrenal-gland in the good doctors bag.
And yet some shows (and some song within other shows), were 'leave the stratosphere' SPECTACULAR. Drugs can and will fuck you up (especially what the guys would have had access to in whatever quantities they wanted), but no denying they certainly took them to interesting/incredible places.

Which makes his travesty on 5-26-77 all the more inexp!icable.
Inexplicable? Even that great song above from 21/05 shows they were almost always right on the edge and high as f_ck. I think this more than accounts for the travesties. Either too off chops, or not enough recovery time after huge off chops runs leaving them playing in a fog.

'77 Bonham; I think this speaks volumes...
That is absolutely BEAST. Jimmy gets lost for a little while at one point, but is as on as the rest for the most and often leads and interacts brilliantly. Bonham carries this BY FAR as well I would have to say.

Will forum data like this and hundreds of thousands of other forums in the future be mined and analysed? When computational power is exponentially greater than it is today, and a curiosity (either scientific or social) about this time in history abounds, will forums like these offer a window into how people once interacted drawn by a common topic and interest - and delight those who look back with an amazement and nostalgia for what it must have been like when "the old style internet forums were popular"? A window back to a different time when different things were important?
I wonder.....

LOL, what a cockup. Skate so close to the edge for long enough though I guess....

Bloody Bronco's!!!!!!! (NRL)
Knocked out in the first finals game by StGeorge who played really average. Unfortunately, that was more then enough to wipe the floor with us. For some inexplicable reason we did not show up to play (or rather defend in any capacity whatsoever) and were embarrassing to watch. Most of the crowd - my troupe included, left with 10mins to go. Just a shocking display of laziness and no effort. I can't even bring myself to watch the highlights (that's a laugh!) reel.
It will take most of the summer to get over seeing that....

1977 can be a bit tough to listen to. Most SBs sound way too dry and flat (lifeless?) a fair few of the shows are only good, not great - or contain a mix anywhere from hard to listen to to great all within the one stretch of songs. Inconsistent I think is fair.
The Millard tapes are by far the best representation of 1977 both from a performance perspective and nice sound - albeit an AUD recording. But compare that to some of the almost official sounding quality of some '75 SB releases, I understand the view that '77 does not offer nearly as much.
Paganini, give the LTTE Collectors Edition a go through good headphones. It shows Zep has blasted off to a whole new level of intensity and drama. A level that was ridiculously epic, but not sustainable. PM me if you need a source.

There would more than likely already be some press leaks and promotions happening by now for any of those dates. There would be eyewitness accounts of Page being in a studio working on production. I hope I'm wrong, but there's been nothing but extremely vague hints by Page who said it could happen over the next few years, if he lives.
Gawd I hope that is off the mark.....

Right on Steve. Not only that, but with the re-release of the TSRTS box - which rounds off the re-releases, you'd have to think there would naturally be a gap before another release so I expect either late Nov/early Dec for a Christmas retail advantage release - or Jan/Feb for spacing out the releases.
I will be pissed if the next release is the DVD again with not much added in. That needs to be broken up into separate DVD releases. EC and Knebworth both as stand alone DVD release with lots of content (FULL gigs) and bonus material. They could put a real premium on that and I have no doubt they would be very well received.
And if Japan is indeed multi-tracked, surely that will see the light of day officially as well sooner or later. I can't understand why it wouldn't if it is on a shelf.
While a compilation would be interesting - especially if it included really nice cleaned up tracks from every tour, and is a 3 to 5 CD release, give me the above if it is a "either/or" choice- which I think it would be. I'd take complete EC and Knebworth over a compilation every day of the week.
cmon Rock Gods - shine on us.

Jimmy Sakurai is playing very much within himself here..much prefer him with the dragon suit and full on Jimmy !
yeah, that is what I took away from catching JBLZE earlier this year when they came to Brisbane. No dragon suit, and he played very reserved. It was pretty disappointing on an otherwise great night out. I'd have to say, I am glad I got to see it, but I wouldn't repeat it. I would however go to see Mr Jimmy if he toured with an awesome band and HE was the main attraction - in dragon suit and going off.

well, yesterday, but I posted this in the wrong thread....
Fathers day! Another Zep shirt, Rumors LP for when I get a player, lots of great presents from the wife and kids, In Through The Out Door on the stereo this morning to prepare a late brekky to - maybe HOTH to follow.
Happy Fathers day to all the Dads on here....

Hi "rm2551". Am I in the wrong thread? Those presents sound great! What kind of player do you want for the Rumors LP?
Happy Fathers Day to you, good sir!
Cheers Panther - wrong thread indeed!
It made me VERY happy.
LED ZEPPELIN OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED BOOK - COMING 2018

The one with the drum kit in it (Its a dark and sparkling colour) is the Teen Club, Denmark pics (7 Sept, '68). 2 of them. One is a nice pic of JPJ with a good chunk of the kit in the background. One is of John himself sweating at the drums. They are B&W and very intimate, nice shots. Not sure if they were previously all in circulation.
I think the book is really great.
