Warner Brothers did not finance the film, the band did. So the band would own any outtake footage, aside from whatever Joe Massot kept out of their possession. Grant did forcibly retrieve footage from him at one point, prior to bringing in Peter Clifton to complete the project.
Not saying Warner Bro's did finance it. I'm saying that they own the footage and I'm assuming have that Page footage if it was on the TRB video.

They did do some promo videos for the German and Japanese markets, but generally speaking they (Page & Grant) didn't have much confidence that television was a suitable medium for promoting the group. They preferred to build the band's reputation on mystique and word of mouth. Were it not for Plant's accident in 1975 there likely never would have been a film release either, at least in the 1970s.
There was also additional footage of Peter Grant at home I'd enjoy seeing one day if it still exists.
Well and I assume Plant, Jones and Bonham's full video sessions
I wonder who has it all, Warner Bros, Massot hid it somewhere or Peter Clifton.
Considering that Page footage of him recording is on TRB I'm assuming Warner Brothers has the lot.

Cheers. What about any time anyone discussed with them the possibilities of doing film clips to their music either during their reign or afterwards? Or if Page/Grant themselves ever discussed or considered it?
I don't recall seeing anyone ever (in interviews) bring this up. Surely it must have been broached at some point. Maybe early on and immediately ruled out??
Highly doubt it, they didn't even want to video the 12 years barely
15 hours ago, SteveAJones said:Yes, those are Jimmy in his home studio which was located in the upper level of Plumpton Place. It's the same shirt he's wearing in TSRTS so the footage was almost certainly filmed that same evening for possible inclusion in the film.
So out there is a huge reel of Page @ Plumpton messing around...
Holy grail.

That's from the Teen-Clubs Copenhagen newsletter/programme, March 1969. http://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/march-15-1969
The photo was taken in Sept. '68. We do have a print of it in the band's archive, but no others from this exact session that I recall.There's also a few from this session, which is from generally the same time:
Bloody hell!
Are these newly found or something?!

This is the '75 show? Then yes, the audience comments (and bodily functions like belches) are hilarious, I always rewind parts of this show (plus it's an overall great performance too).
Oh easily one of the greatest 75' performances. It really shows how the Jimmy's tone was even better than the soundboards suggest

Kashmir ends after the first time the crowd hear the song
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK"
There's a novel you could write from the Montreal kids chatter lol

These sorts of things and more were scrapped together to produce official music videos for Traveling Riverside Blues (1990) and Whole Lotta Love (2007).
Side q: Those shots of Jimmy at home in the Horus shirt we see during TRB, which I've always assumed is him making Ten Years Gone, who/where is that whole video
Lot of pics from this session too, why the whole "lets video you producing and take a load of pics"? Maybe it was going to be inserted into TSRTS?

Any other photos of this session? Is this the only cliche "running through a field" shot there is of the group?
Now that is a holy grail lol
I don't think any of us have ever seen any of those have we?

I have a Led Zeppelin knit hat that almost never leaves my head in winter, and I've been very pleasantly surprised by the number of younger folks who comment on it. Especially the young women. Practically every time I go anywhere there's some 20 year old girl complimenting my hat. It does make me feel good that at least some young people are appreciating good music. Also, getting attention from 20 year old girls sure ain't all that bad either.
When I wear Zep gear over here in the UK no one notices..
They are so much bigger in the US it's untrue

Maybe Ronnie was confusing Elvis Deathbed with his Death-toilet in which case it would be understandable why he’d turn it down.
Yeah think you've probably nailed that one, thanks haha

That would be kinda tough as Elvis was never on a deathbed, he died of a heart attack in his home suddenly. Elvis was in between legs on his current tour when this happened as he played his final gig on June 26th 1977 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. His next scheduled date was August 17th in Portland Maine, the day after his death.
Well famously on the toilet but I'm assuming there's times Elvis was in such pain before that he thought that was it. Ron might be confusing 75 with the year of his death and discussing this Bill Wyman + Zep meeting. Maybe Ron didn't go along...
Ron has been known to be wrong about Zep, first and foremost saying Jimmy approached him in 68' to join!
-
On the One Show (BBC evening show), this year or last Ronnie Wood said he had the opportunity to go visit Elvis on his deathbed, Ron turning it down.
And then later on in life finding out none other than Robert and Jimmy were with Elvis on his deathbed.
The clip: https://youtu.be/M3IC5FDfpBg?t=1657
Now Ron MIGHT mean before he actually died in August 77. No way in hell was Robert in the USA after Oakland.
Ronnie is good mates with the group, with Page I know at least. -

'Millenial snowflake'. Get a new slant Steve, because this was old when you were peddling it years ago.
SAJ is right though

OK.
Considering this is the first shot I can see on the 77' tour, I am concluding this is the FIRST shot in the public domain we have of him smoking.
Funnily enough, it might even be one of the coolest Page pictures.

Back in September 1968... I haven't heard about Led Zep but The Yardbirds was very popular in Scandinavia. I lived in Stockholm at that time and in September 1968 I saw Led Zep live for the first time at Grona Lund. Warming up band was the Swedish Hep Stars which was the most popular band in Sweden at that time. Btw... at organ Hep Stars had Benny Andersson... more known from ABBA 10 years later.
Now 50 years later I have seen Led Zep live more than 12 times. A really good band. If not the best. The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd is also on my TOP 3 list. 😀
So you might just be one of the first Zeppelin fans EVER.

An extra nickel.....

This doesn''t add up..
Noticed prior to the gig:
Date gets changed, then he still has to go back home?
-
A family emergency forced John Paul Jones to return to England directly after the show, and the gig's start time was changed to 5:30pm.
Local musician Deborah Smith played bass for the encore: "I was asked to sit in with Led Zeppelin that night by Roger Abramson, a promoter with Belkin Brothers, who saw me in the audience and knew of my musical ability, and knew that the fans in the audience had come to the concert with the reasonable expectation of hearing live electric Led Zeppelin, as opposed to an acoustic set, necessitated by the hasty exit of John Paul Jones for the trip back to England for his father's funeral service." - (D. Smith Sept. 2014)
Cleveland Telegram review: Led Zeppelin concert wows Cleveland crowd
If people left the Led Zeppelin concert Wednesday with any feeling short of musical ecstasy, they must have gone to be heard and not to hear. Zeppelin burned their tunes into the half-filled Public Auditorium for nearly two hours while everyone dazedly moved only with the pulse coming from the stage.They started the concert with the tunes from their first two albums that everyone has heard many times, but no one seemed to care. They just listened and worked it out in their heads. Where the early Zeppelin used noise, Jimmy Page picked and bowed his guitar as only he could, changing the noise of his old days into music that wouldn't quit. All the time lead vocalist Robert Plant wailed and moved as music was blasted to him.
The surprise of the night came as Plant, Page, and bass player John Paul Jones moved out in front with their acoustic strings. With Page on the guitar, Jones on the mandolin, and Plant on the microphone, they started in on the audience with Led Zeppelin III, their yet unreleased album. They displayed an honesty only music could as they dedicated this song to a friend that had just been killed in a motorcycle accident.
They finished the regular part of their concert with Jones and a far-out organ on a little known Zeppelin tune called "Thank You," then hit with "Whole Lotta Love." When they left the stage, the crowd clammered for more, not letting up until there was music once more. Zeppelin returned with John Bonham featured on drums. As the rest of the group left the stage, Bonham did everything possible to make his drums talk, plus a few things that weren't in the book.
When the remaining group members returned to the stage, Jones had split to England for family reasons and Plant said that was it, but as the audience pressed to the stage, they agreed to continue.
As they got set to do more, Page popped a string. To fill the gap Plant started to play his harp while Bonham started in on the tabla drums. When Page fixed his guitar, he joined in on the jam. They were then joined by a girl in a Belkin Production tee shirt (Webmaster note: Deborah Smith) who played bass to finish the night.
This time they left for good, leaving Led Zeppelin burned into everyone's mind, something you don't hear every day. (-Cleveland Telegram, 8-1970)

Wonder why this is so quiet in Zep folklore...
The ONLY time in Zep history someone else filled in and it's a barely known fact.
Odd.
