And also where Robert took this photo with the official Led Zep book.

This doesn't feel like an authentic review.

Great photo. That's a new one. I wish they taped that pre-show chat instead of the short "interview".

Mentions a 7" 45 box set coming in December. They should do a Zep singles set.

This was actually first posted last year. https://www.ledzeppelin.com/event/september-25-1968 Odd how Sept 25 is both the beginning and the end for LZ.

they look fake

and on "new music": Q: You were practising this morning. Are you writing new music? JP: There will be something next year. But before that, there’s a project that will be announced later this year; it’s not necessarily musical. I’m old school. I don’t announce anything too early.

Just read the interview which I thought was good with some previews of his upcoming Anthology book. On the subject of live Zeppelin: Q: Is there more Led Zeppelin music in the archives? JP: I am always collating bootlegs and comparing them with what I have. I am meticulous. If it’s already out there, then what’s the point? I want to give fans things they have never heard before.

Robert Plant plays CityFolk: 'I’ll probably retire when I run out of breath' Lynn Saxberg | September 13, 2019 Robert Plant - 9:15 p.m. Sunday, City Stage, CityFolk, Lansdowne Park Tickets and info: cityfolkfestival.com *** When it comes to working into one’s sunset years, Robert Plant relates more to Bob Dylan than Elton John. Although the 71-year-old rock legend expressed the utmost respect for his fellow Brit, John, who’s 72 and circumnavigating the globe on an epic farewell tour, the former Led Zeppelin frontman said he’s nowhere near ready to follow his footsteps. “Elton is looking for more time to spend with his family, and that’s not a bad idea,” Plant said in an interview. “But my family always says, ‘Keep going, Dad.’ “Elton has his own ideas and everybody does, but I haven’t actually split the atom. I haven’t reached a point where I’ve got nothing left, and I feel pretty good about what I do. I love to tour and I love to sing and twist the songs around.” It’s a mindset that puts him more in tune with 78-year-old Dylan, who once gave Plant the advice to keep going as long as possible. “I respect and admire him, not only for waking me up as a kid, a teenager, but also for the fact that he takes such joy in re-entering his own adventures from a different angle. He works more than I do, I think,” he said. Plant also recalled a conversation with Dylan when they were both playing in the same region of Spain. “‘Did you know there are 46 bullfighting rings in Spain that you can play?’” Dylan asked him. “‘You gotta keep going.’ Play, and let the music take you to fine people and introduce you to the underbelly of all these areas’ cultures. “I’ll probably retire when I run out of breath.” That doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon. Plant’s most recent album, 2017’s Carry Fire, recorded with his Sensational Space Shifters band, finds him at a creative peak. His voice is as strong and supple as ever, and the music brims with vitality, meandering purposefully between psychedelia, folk and blues. To get to that point, he feels it’s important to leave space for spontaneity in the studio. He doesn’t want to have things too mapped out. “It’s pretty nebulous and non-definable, clutching stuff and bringing it out of the air, and laying it down in some form or another with instruments,” says the musical mastermind. “It takes a myriad of different forms to get to the point in the song where you think you’ve actually got it. “There’s an air of adventure, and I think with contemporary recording techniques, you can create impressions as a song develops its stature and its shape takes place. You can hang all sorts of different ideas on it as it grows and blossoms.” His creative process often involves showing up to the session early. “I go in fresh every morning. Sometimes I gave myself an hour or two before the guys came in to work on various tracks, and just moved things around, switched stuff about. Really, it’s almost like a watercolour painting. You may actually add another colour before the colour is dry for a different effect.” Plant has always been an artist who prefers to talk about his newest material instead of revisiting the past. But he was encouraged by his label to explore his five-decade output in a new podcast that debuted this year. Each episode of Digging Deep with Robert Plant finds the singer-songwriter talking to a journalist about a specific song. “I always deal in the current, present tense, and I’m only ever really getting excited about what I’m actually doing right now so I never thought about the idea of visiting the stuff again,” he says. “But every song has got a tale, and when I think about all the previous albums, all of them had some kind of attitude, whether it was trying to grasp the 80s or courting technology or not meeting with the approval of the Led Zeppelin fans at large. “So I listen to the songs and think, ‘Wow, those guys were great players.’ It’s nice to look at that stuff. I like the idea of visiting tracks with an interest in them.” As for the current tour, Plant is looking forward to bringing the Sensational Space Shifters to Canada, though there are just two dates this time, Ottawa’s CityFolk and Fredericton’s Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, before he continues into the U.S. “I only go where I want to go,” says the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer. “I remember playing Winnipeg and, I think, Calgary in Zeppelin. Towns carry the personality of the weather, the climate and the culture swings with the seasons. Some regions are tough to live in and they have a different kind of crowd. The audience has a different kind of tenacity about them. Canada is riveting really because it’s quite dynamic along that long, long journey from east to west.” https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/local-arts/robert-plant-plays-cityfolk-ill-probably-retire-when-i-run-out-of-breath

I ordered one too.

Very interesting. Odd that there's no other photos through the years of Bonzo with this video camera. How great would that be, if this video exists. So all of newly-discovered photos in this upcoming Japan book are available now on Getty? Saved me from having to buy it.

Very cool. Thanks for posting this.

Love it!

They're from Jimmy's photo book. If you're a fan, it's a must-have.

99.9% of the time they're rehashed stuff and not worth buying.

8mm footage from Kezar 73 that surfaced recently. Unfortunately underexposed, but still cool

That's a dumb comment. Does the building on Physical Graffiti have to chosen for some deep mystical reason? The old man painting on the cover of LZIV? It's good to finally know where the TSRTS image originates from.

Seems to be resolved now https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/06/facebook-lifts-ban-led-zeppelin-houses-of-the-holy-album-cover/
