It's always so exciting to see new photos! And wonderful that Steve Abadie was not only such a good photographer but that the photos are still in such good condition.

Given how closely JP monitors all things Led Zeppelin, I doubt his considering the ABBA-type project would include a sub-standard live band performing behind the curtains.

Always a relief to see JP out and about these days.

Great photos! Thank you for posting these and all the others!

THANKS!

Yeah, those are great!

You don't have to do it that way. TikTok is totally controllable.

I do not love TikTok and have no use for 99.99% of what's there, but I'm going to make TikToks to promote my book. Authors are desperate enough to endure all sorts of merde to get a sale. I'm overjoyed that Zep's going to allow use of their music for TikToks because my novel is about rock music and magic in the 1970s and while I wrote it I had Zep in mind -- so whatever TikToks I produce (I'm thinking I'm going to have fun with stop-motion action but who knows) will be backed with a bit of Zep. Well, snips of JP solos, mostly. NOTE: I access TikTok via my laptop. Forget the phone -- that's a wild and crazy and maddening ride. I also use browser bookmarks to go directly to the account I want to see, e.g. https://www.tiktok.com/@ledzeppelin I don't have to look at anything else there. TikTok is much more endurable that way.

AWESOME!!!

I was told about her death a few days ago but have seen no verification of it other than here, now I have hesitated to share the news because of that. The person who told me said that Patricia had been doing poorly for some time.

Anybody have a working link to the video?

Let me add to the thanks for sharing these photos. Wonderful piece of LZ history.

More like Rolling Stone's attitude towards the band.

Would love if someone could specifically identify when/where these photos were taken. I'm leaning towards 17 or 18 December 1993, Tokyo, Japan at Yoyogi Olympic Arena, but there aren't a lot of photos available of those shows that I could find. That is his Les Paul No. 3, correct? Thanks in advance.

I so agree! Coverdale/Page is one of my absolute favorites of all JP's work. If another thread is opened I hope I find it!

I see lots of people who claim the last name of Page, so having Page in a name doesn't mean much. I find it odd that Jimmy Page would have autographed a 1980 tour sweater so impersonally if it was his half sister. Maybe she picked the sweater up elsewhere. But of course you and others may have more info that would verify Errington as actually a half-sister instead of a poser.

And I, for one, am grateful that you do so refrain. It is so tiresome when people try to guess what was going on in their personal lives, especially when they have themselves, refrained from talking about it themselves. Thank you.

Steve, do you own this piece of memorabilia? Or do you know who does?

Agreed. The digging to find something conclusive would have to be incredibly exhaustive (and exhausting!) and for why? Maybe it's better off as a Led Zeppelin Mystery.

It's not going, since I can't afford to take the time or money to do the research. We're talking physically being there, yes, using microfiche when lucky and old paper documents when we're not. Plus lots and lots of interviews.

That's not the only one out there that explores the rumored concert at Wheaton but none of them come up with any firm conclusions.

If I lived closer, I'd go there and do some on-location research. First, there would have to be records of the operation of the center somewhere, physical records probably in some dusty cellar. If the building was not left open and unattended 24/7, someone had to open and close up, someone had to keep records of when that happened. Someone worked there - be it janitor or secretary or the director of the center - who might still be around and would recall the event or would know where the records are for the events that week, that month, that year. If not someone who worked there then, then a spouse, a child, or someone who works there now who'd know where to look. There would have been phone calls, electric bills associated with the event. Local newspapers might have mentioned it, or the center itself might have had its own newsletter or bulletin that was mailed out to supporters or to the media. Local families could be interviewed. Local librarians and historical societies are treasure troves of information. All the documents would be analog, not digital, and would be time consuming, but there would be results that way. There are many avenues to investigate, but it means being in the area and putting in the time and effort. Send me the $ for time and expenses and I'll do it!

The article says that John Paul Jones is the "someone else" who was singing. "Most interesting is the fact that Plant doesn’t sing on all of the tracks on these recently uncovered tapes. “I’m desperately trying to get this one track, or the two tracks, of John Paul Jones singing lead,” he said, elaborating that John Paul Jones has no desire for them to be released. " I haven't listened to the interview this article refers to, but here's the link to it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01jv69b

While I love seeing the photos, I'm a writer and researcher, and so I find it frustrating that most of the photos have no explanation with them: date, location, photo credit or anything else to identify them. Thus I end up not looking at this forum all that much even though it's full of great photos.

Eye thank you Steve & woz70
