Sam just posted some scans in the Memorabilia section of the stuff I collect.
-
^ AWESOME photos!
-
Sorry Steve. Maybe it was 75? They are standing together against a wall. Maybe it was another event altogether. I need to get my stuff out of storage.
-
^ thank you. those are some of the best 1977 images ever IMHO - just because they show whats rarely seen.
-
Hi Sam - that would be amazing to see if ever possible!
-
WOW! PlanetPage! Do you know what show that was from?
-
Nothing onstage comes to mind, aside from the Concerts for Kampuchea (Dec '79), though their paths did cross off-stage on occasion and photos may have been taken.
Thanks Steve - I was hoping you would reply. I'm surprised that there isn't any backstage photos. There are the pics of Lennon and Yoko and IRRC, Bowie at one of the MSG 77 shows. You would think they would have taken at least a few of them with Plant at least.
-
I have a question - Are there any 70's era photos with members of Zeppelin with any of the Beatles?
The only one that comes to mind is the Rockestra photos.
-
GREAT posts Strider! thank you. Wish I could have experienced it first hand.
-
Thank you so much for the thread and post HotDogAudrey! fascinating to say the least!
can you ask for some more backstage stories?
-
^ Sam, thank you for posting those new 1977 photos! wish there were more backstage.
-
^ thanks for the confirmation Steve.
I wish she would write a book - I'd definitely buy that!

to Steve:
is the girl on the right the same "Aubrey" that was with Plant in 1977?

look at the pic titled: Peter Makowski San Francisco 1981 with Jean and Audrey at the Day On The Green.

Jeeze. Nevermind.

That is from the 1977 US tour- Jimmy wore that skeleton/guitar necklace alot on the 2nd leg of the tour. You can also barely see the white dragon top under the red robe(John Bonham wore one of those robes in the Seattle 7-17-77 video) but I don't know the precise date of the photo.
Here is a bigger version of the pic.
hi David - can you repost the bigger image of the 1977 Page photo?
-
rare Neal Preston '77 pic
just saw this - GREAT image! I wish he would open up his archives. I would pay to see it.
-
Holy Shit DZ! Fanfuckingtastic!
-
very nice website! thank you
-
So far as I know there isn't any live Led Zeppelin footage incorporated into the tour, aside from the clips taken from their film, The Song Remains The Same. Perhaps I did see a bit of Bonzo from Royal Albert Hall 1970? There is some previously unseen private film footage of John Bonham that is being shared.
great! thanks for the reply Steve.
-
any word on if there was any unseen Zep footage shown during the show?
-
[click to view]
The date is actually: Dec. 17, 1977. (Footage exists of this event as well)
WOW. Sam, if you hadn't posted the invite I would never believe that was Bonham in 1977. He lost lots of weight after the tour then....
is the footage something that you can post on the official Video page?
-
The search function may reveal complete details as I'm almost certain I provided a write-up pertaining to the cancellation. As I recall the promotor couldn't get the financial backing together.
I am still coordinating the release of more Pontiac '77 after-show photos. I am in Seattle at the moment preparing to photograph the site of the '69 Gold Creek Park Festival later this week.
thanks for the update Steve!

The 1977 Mid-Tour Break
On April 30, 1977 Led Zeppelin set a single-act world record when they performed for approximately 77,229 at the Pontiac Silverdome. This was the last date of the first leg of their 1977 North American tour. It's known they arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus, MI the day of the concert and took a chartered bus to the Silverdome, having declined the venue's offer to transport them directly to the site using helicopters. They arrived at the venue at 9:10pm and the concert ran 9:30pm - 1am, to include a second three minute encore.
The May 2nd 1977 'Detroit News' reported they were immediately flown toward their two-week break, however I have obtained a photograph which proves they remained in the local area for at least several hours following the concert. I am attempting to secure the release of all additional photographs taken by the photographer after their record-breaking concert.

"This is one of my favorite pics that I took at the Troy Hilton after the Led Zep show at the Silverdome back in '77. Got to hang out with Page & Plant that late evening. Bonham was totally messed up, resting his head on the bar downstairs, drunk as hell. What a memory; so cool!" - Photographer
Steve, please post more photos from the photographer if you can!

My notes show Jimmy made uncredited guitar contributions to 'One Hit To The Body' and 'Back To Zero' with The Rolling Stones at Pathe Marconi Studios in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris, France sometime between Apr-Jun '85. (Stones were in that studio April 8 thru June 17 1985) and then Jimmy visited The Rolling Stones at Right Track Recording (Studios A, B & C) on 168 West 38th Street 10036 in New York City on July 16 & 17 1985. I could be mistaken, yet I think Scott Swanson and I discussed this before. I do remember an anecdote about Keith Richards becoming frustrated and saying to Jimmy and the others something to the effect of "I'll show you clever bastards" and storming out of the session, returning sometime later with a brilliant riff.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any photographs in circulation from their session with Jimmy.
Thank you for the info Steve.
I just saw your post Pontiac 77 pic of Plant - GREAT unseen photo!! Cool to see him wearing that bootleg 1977 US Tour shirt too.
do you have permission to post any others? I would love to see more. Especially the one of Jimmy.

Steve, if I may ask beg, can you scan the covers of the copies you bought of Boot Poisoning that have 77 related photos and post them?
