    Someone more knowledgeable than myself can maybe respond to this comment, but I'll never understand why Zeppelin didn't postpone the start of their 1975 US tour until March and then had it lead right into the Earls Court shows at the end of May.  I mean, 'Physical Graffiti' wasn't released until February and had they started in March, Plant's voice would have been in better shape and more healed up, with more consistency.  It would have also been better for the fans in the Midwest and East Coast of the States, weather-wise.  I realize that a follow-up US tour was scheduled for the summer that unfortunately got cancelled because of Plant's car-crash injuries, but even originally planning for the US shows to start right after the New Year seemed strange.  Especially since the album hadn't been released yet and the fans hadn't had time to become more familiar with its contents.

    Physical Graffiti was supposed to coincide with the very start of the tour but was delayed, and Plant didn’t come down with the flu until the tour started. Zeppelin wasn’t very smart when it came to Plant’s voice (only rescheduling much of their 1977 tour when he came down with laryngitis) so in typical fashion they kept on with the tour, only rescheduling St. Louis from Jan. 27 to Feb. 16.

    I added this to the Timeline.... thought it might be good for the LZ Mysteries thread:

    (May 1977)

    I’m not sure how much clarification you can give on this, Sam, but is it correct to assume that the Pontiac pro-shot video is not in the hands of the group? I always figured that if the band had it in the archives, we would have seen it in the MTV/VH1 promos, plus the music videos in the 90s, etc. 

    So it appears Opryland provided cameras, Worldstage provided screen projection, and Mobile Tape Video based in Detroit seems to be involved as well in the filming.

    I own these photographs (there's a dozen pics). Some documentation I received with them is unclear whether they're from October '68 or December '68.

     

    I'm inclined to believe that this new set is the December 10 date. Here's why...

    The Marquee shots included in the 2014 Super Deluxe book have all four members in different outfits than the two circulating color shots of the band at the Marquee. Additionally, Bonham's hair is very close to what it looked like in September 1968 compared to his hair in January 1969.

    Excerpt from the strip of negatives from the (presumed) October Marquee show:

    Better look at Page's outfit at the (now presumed) October Marquee show (not the green psychedelic shirt in the new shot):

    The other known December 10, 1968 shot (note the matching outfits with the new color shot, but not the black and white pics)

    And finally, Bonham's (much longer) hair in January 1969:

    In any case, Sam, would it be possible to see the rest of the set?

    Where did u see that?

    Since you asked, I may as well share with everyone the email you sent under your Argenteum Astrum alias this morning (not to mention, Paul, that only the last 20 minutes of this show is new and "unhearded" - so much for false advertising). I hope Gerry Olsen's kindness and our hard work getting this stuff out for free brings a nice profit for yourself and T2K!

    Cool - apart from the YouTube clip, where else can this be found? Dime?

     

    What's on YouTube is source 1. It's currently up on DIME and Led Zeppelin Boots will have it up on his YouTube channel soon.

  6. While it is of course unsurprising to see our liberations being bootlegged, can't say I'm not embarrassed to see T2K jumping on this bandwagon so quickly. Disgusting.

  7. On the eve of the 49th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's concert at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, I am proud to partner with Lloyd Godman in premiering this never before seen 8mm footage of Led Zeppelin in Auckland, 1972! He found it in a shed back in 2019 and had it transferred locally and synced up by me.

    Special thanks to Lloyd Godman for filming this wonderful footage, as well as goldenretriever157 from The Dogs of Doom for helping facilitate contact with Lloyd!

    News article about the footage and a radio interview with the filmer can be found here: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/437114/fan-finds-led-zeppelin-auckland-concert-film-in-shed

     

  8. I'm very proud to unveil this new footage from the 1975.01.31 Detroit gig! For the first time we see the band actually playing How Many More Times from this tour. The vantage points are amazing. Near the end Greensboro and the first MSG show help fill in some audio gaps. Unfortunately some of the transitions to still photos are native to the source but I have eliminated them to the best of my ability.

    Special thanks to Marty for filming and sharing, to Keith Schoen for all his help with getting this to me, as well as Glyn from The Dogs of Doom for digitizing.

     

  9. A couple weeks ago some of us at The Dogs of Doom had the opportunity to purchase a set of 79 uncirculated 35mm slides. The slides were found at an estate sale, photographer is unknown. Unfortunately some of the film has been contaminated with mold, but the photos that survive are some of the best shots I think I've ever seen of the band.

    Special thanks to the following for helping to make this happen: Glyn, Blockbuster, adam_777, ledzepfilm, Sticks of Fire, CaptCrunge and Vinnie (June72)

    Thank You Michael, I appreciate your in-depth reply! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!

    I have also done a re-edit of the concert with a more extensive approach to re-arranging the footage to match the audio and fixing any weird anomalies and timing errors and adding on some different musical passages. If you'd be interested in this, send me a DM. :)

  11. With the permission of the original filmer, I am very proud to unveil a brand new 1977 8mm film from the famous "Destroyer" show!

    He also took 35mm slides at the show, which you can see here (note the confirmation of Jimmy playing Kashmir with the #2 Les Paul): https://imgur.com/a/GKJQhT6

    Special thanks to the filmer for kindly taping and lending out his reel, Genesismuseum for their gorgeous 2K digital transfer, and ledzepfilm, TAFCIA, June72, publicnemy3, Sticks of Fire, Ed, and Bert13 from The Dogs of Doom for funding the digital transfer. 

    Please, if you have old film reels of Led Zeppelin laying around, get them digitized properly and share them out for the community to see.
