What about this:
"Yes, my company Shelley Archives Inc does have film materials of Led Zeppelin in Central Park 1969. We own approximately 40 minutes of color 16mm film (negative and positive) that have to be match edited and sound sync'd. The sound is on 16mm full coat mag track.For the moment there are possible plans for restoration through several record companies I'm involved with. As you may know, copyrights, publishing rights and image licensing from the artists have to be cleared in order to do anything with this film footage and this amounts often to a legal and long standing nightmare. My company is currently being licensed by Eagle Rock Entertainment for DVD releases of concert materials in the vault."
Best Wishes,

Thanks for that Steve!

Steve, this came up in another thread...I seem to recall reading somewhere that Plant's appearance with Rockpile at the Concerts for Kampuchea was unplanned. He was there as a guest and then asked to participate. Or was it planned all along? It would explain the way the song ended...

Jimmy and Robert just missed each other on this date...

Robert Plant 1988 Press Conference (Toronto)
Seeking confirmation of the exact date Robert held a press conference at The Four Seasons hotel in Toronto. It was almost certainly sometime between Feb 23 & Mar 1 1988.
Based on this excerpt from a Toronto Star article he gave interview(s) on March 1st, so I would guess the press conference was the same day...maybe the conference was the "interview"...
Plant's ready to howl againGreg Quill Toronto Star 02 Mar 1988
"I wrote the words, I wrote the melodies and I sang the songs. Where's my problem? If everyone else can get into the Led Zeppelin thing, why can't I?" Robert Plant must have asked himself these questions long before he started work on Now And Zen, his fourth solo album and the one that clearly links him to the British progressive blues-rock band that made him famous in the early 1970s.
Plant will perform in Toronto in mid-May with a new band that, he believes, isn't intimidated by Led Zeppelin's weighty reputation. And he'll perform Led Zeppelin songs in concert for the first time since 1980. During an interview in Toronto yesterday, the 40-year-old singer asked himself those same questions again, as if daring us to remind him that for the seven years since Led Zeppelin's demise he has been trying quite passionately to distance himself from his loud, electric past.

The official timeline entry for Led Zeppelin's January 31, 1975 concert at Olympia in Detroit does not include any newspaper reviews,
and I was not aware of any in existence until today. However, here's my latest finding and though it is a negative review it is a review nonetheless:
The Ann Arbor Sun (Ann Arbor, MI), February 14, 1975
Perhaps worth noting there is an excellent, positive feature on this concert published in the April 1975 issue of Creem magazine, a Detroit-based publication sold nationally for many years. The article, 'Led Zep Zip Through Motown', was written by Jaan Uhelski.
Another review for this date posted over at RO.

Interview with Paul Rodgers: http://www.rockcella...s-is-the-voice/
RCM: You recorded that album on the Swan Song record label, launched by Led Zeppelin in ’74. Did Bad Company and Led Zeppelin ever jam together?
PR: I remember Zeppelin standing on the side of the stage at a concert in the Finsbury Park Astoria in London, and I waved them onstage because they were just standing there enjoying the show. They looked at me and went, “What!?” because they weren’t at all expecting it. So they came on stage and we grabbed a bunch of guitars and we had the most amazing jam session. It was incredible. The audience was high at the end of our set, but when the Zeps walked on they went absolutely crazy. We played some blues numbers, I think we did Rock Me Baby and if I remember correctly, Every Day I Have the Blues.
RCM: How far back does your relationship with Led Zeppelin go?
PR: Back in the early days I remember meeting Robert Plant in Birmingham before Led Zeppelin were formed, when Free was touring with Alexis Korner. He had a jam session with Alexis Korner and afterwards Robert came back to the hotel with me and had a cup of tea. He said, “You know, I’ve been invited to go down to London and form a band with a guy called Jimmy Page, have you heard of him”" And I said, “Yeah, he’s a session guitarist that everyone is talking about down there,” and he said, “Oh, yeah, well they offered me 30 quid or a percentage — what do you think?” And I said, “Take the percentage, man!” So, yeah, we go back a long way.
RCM: You recorded two albums with Jimmy Page in the mid-’80s as The Firm. Do you keep in touch?
PR: I do. Jimmy is a wonderful, really warm, quiet person. He’s a sweetheart and I always enjoy his company. I play with John Bonham’s son Jason sometimes also. He’s a fantastic drummer.

Could it be CCS?
My guess is Montreux...I`ve seen a few mentions/rumours that there were cameras there.

This one is new to me...any ideas where it was taken (looks like an airport)?
-
Steve,
I`ve always wondered about whether the boys played more than just Dazed and Confused at the Staines 69 show and if so whether any of these other songs might have been filmed. Any ideas?

That would make sense. It couldn't have been a Led Zeppelin gig - I would think they were too well known even by that date.

Any ideas? Here's the online source.

To me the opening of "Tinker Tailor" is the genesis of what would become TSRTS. That seems the obvious answer, but maybe it is less obvious to some reading this thread.
I'd have to agree with that...
I really like this track

Yes, It is Denmark.
It's from Sonic Boom The Impact of Led Zeppelin Volume 1 by Frank Reddon. I scanned the image and posted it at Royal-Orleans and it looks like it ended up here. (or someone else scanned it and put it here)
And Jimmy's shirt looks like the same one he is wearing at the live show 1970 in Tennessee?
I don`t know...that car looks North American, but I can`t say for sure.... What is the source info on the photo in Reddon`s book?

Steve,
I just read in an article in Uncut that Ian Stewart (or Stu) played not only on Boogie with Stu but also on Rock and Roll. Is that true? Any idea why he wasn't credited?
Thanks

Jason will be the guest on the George Stromboulopoulos show tonight on CBC tv. Not sure when it was recorded, but most interviews are posted on the site not long after.

Great finds as always, thanks Blocoboy!

Communication Breakdown, filmed sometime between Feb 11 and 15th, 1969, at Thee Image Club in Miami, "...probably one of two numbers video taped for "The Rick Shaw Show", a local TV show hosted by a popular Miami Top 40 Radio DJ".
