This is the first time that I am really happy that Plant and/or Jones reject a project.
I am not sure if Jimmy is aware of the fact that while the Abba voices at the Avatar shows are from the archives there is acually a band playing live behind the curtains.
This concept may work for the music of Abba, but IMO it could never work for bands like Led Zeppelin. Are there musicians who are capable to deliver satisfactory results? I don´t think so.
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!

Wow, what a great set of photos. Thanks for posting them. I like how he took pictures in the arena before the show, too.
Yeah, those are great!

Have you ever tried Tik Tok? You sit there maniacally flipping through videos as fast as you can to get to the next one. ADD you say? It's pathetic. Truly pathetic.
Human fidget spinners 😂
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.

What are the "well known" reason? The band's general distaste for the media?
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.

Coverdale/Page ...
There really should be a new thread, a dedicated re-evaluation of the Coverdale-Page album on its own terms now that Jimmy is effectively retired (age 73) and we can try to look back on it with a clearer, depoliticized lens. This thread is old and nobody seems to have wanted to deal with the OP in years.
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!

Not off the top of my head, however I recall Karen Page Errington auctioned off some items personalized and autographed by Jimmy Page, and one of them was an Over Europe 1980 sweater (official tour merchandise). "To Karen, Rock On, Jimmy Page". So it would seem his parents had divorced prior to 1980, but again don't quote me on that. You could probably ask Karen. She'd know for certain.
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.

I have always refrained from armchair quarterbacking them or their personal decisions in what was obviously a very tragic and difficult time.
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.

Jimmy Page's Handwriting
Jimmy's notes explaining his concept for the laser pyramid violin bow solo he would perform during the 1979 Knebworth Festival:
Steve, do you own this piece of memorabilia? Or do you know who does?

Given a feature length film by a local director proved inconclusive I'm thinking belief in this gig will remain a leap of faith. The director presumably exhausted all the conventional means of research. We need a ticket stub or a photograph to surface.
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.

How's it going, "lif". Not digital. We're talking microfiche, aren't we? I'll talk to you soon about unexplored avenues.
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.

You all know there is a movie about the Wheaton concert, don't you?

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.

I'm hoping to get back up to the Wheaton Youth/Rec center, and would like to ask about, but I doubt I'd find anyone working there that worked there 45 years ago.
How do you check on something like that, or who would you ask many years after?
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!

It also says some recordings have JPJ singing and some with Robert not singing...someone else ?
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

I have to chuckle a bit when out of every topic and thread on this entire Led Zeppelin Forum
It appears this thread Hot Pics of Jimmy has the most views. Over a million views.
The power of Jimmy Page lolWhile 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

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.
