Love that image.

Are there any images of Robert with Gene Vincent.

As always thank you.

Can someone explain how important Cream magazine is/was.

Wow still cannot get over how close you were to the band. Those photographs are very much appreciated.

Can I add that I was a teen at the end of the 1970's in the UK and I saw the change in music first hand. Zep, Elton John, The Stones, Queen, Floyd, Genesis, all became targets both for the new generations of music fans and more importantly the new wave of rock journalists. Genesis, John and Queen went much more pop to appeal to the new audience. The only artist to keep his place was Bowie. Reasons were multiple why the acts struggled, they were seen as pompous, bloated irrelevant; everything the punk, post punk crowd hated and the mud stuck. They were rarely if ever played on daytime radio (suspect Tommy Vance was the only DJ to regularly play Zep and he was only on once a week). In Zeps case you got you head kicked in for liking them every (as you did with the others) and it all got so much worse after The Hammer of the Gods book came out. The Stones reputation was also a real mess and I recall a truly cantankerous interview between Jagger and Muriel Grey on the influential UK rock show The Tube. I don't think the Stones had a UK top 10 single after that interview (could be wrong though.) Interestingly Robert did an interview for the Tube's Jools Holland and came over very well. BBC 6 Music has really helped the bands of the 1970's by playing the classic tracks, so now you hear Street Fighting Man, Kashmir, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, See Emily Play next to acts like Field Music, Thundercat and Ghostpoet. Rock changed massively itself. The hard rock fans themselves in my era listed to Iron Maiden and Motorhead. But like I mentioned this is what happened in the UK (IMHO)

Would love to know the history of those images.

Thank you for that info. Much appreciated.

Thank you as always.

Do you know what else is fascinating about these images. They show a band who needed no bells and whistles; no video's or massive lighting rigs to hypnotize the crowd. How low key did it look but magical all the same.

How cool are those photographs. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for posting. Who is the women by the way.

Is there anyone running the forum who can find out about the photo.

I wish I could recall where I saw this but they cited Robert as 15 years old at the time so anything is possible. I think the chins and noses are the same.

I still cannot make my mind up as the face shape seems similar and if you superimpose Roberts long hair it could be him.

The Germaine Greer article is rather wonderful and sums up the band beautifully. I wonder if she had been tipped of by John Peel who I believe she had connections with back in the day. Wonder who the other band is in reference to the tone deaf lead singer.

First of all thank you for the images. Seen this marked as a Robert Plant photograph. Is the boy in the middle Robert?.

Thank you for the posts. Always wondered if the movie was a hit at the time.

Considering how low cinema tickets would cost then they are phenomenal figures. Thank you for posting the information.

Did the movie do well box office wise.

Loved these images. Especially thrilling to see the one is colour. Thank you for posting them.

Thank you for that a great photograph.

Thank you for posting; much appreciated.

Wonderful images thank you.
