  1. Here's some new photos from NY 6-14-77 shot by 16 year-old fan, Steve Abadie, from the 10th row.
  2. I came across a few old scans from the last show in Berlin 1980. (sorry, don't know who took these)

  4. John Paul Jones (and Sons of Chipotle) to Perform at Big Ears 2024 JPJ and Anssi Karttunen are delighted to be bringing Sons Of Chipotle to Big Ears Festival in March 2024 in Knoxville, TN. Sons of Chipotle cover an uncommonly vast area of the musical map and both John Paul Jones and Anssi Karttunen are thrilled to be making their US debut performance at Big Ears Festival in March 2024. It is incredibly rare to find two of the finest musicians in the world improvising together, but following 6 sold out concerts in South Korea and Japan, the next stop for Sons of Chipotle is Knoxville, Tennessee. Both musicians are known to be curious minds, always ready to learn and to discover. When they improvise, borders disappear, they are free to migrate beyond prejudices, across continents. In a world full of conflicts and displaced people, Sons of Chipotle want music to be a place of openness. Sons of Chipotle features John Paul Jones on piano and electronics, with Anssi Karttunen on cello and electronics. Both John and Anssi will also be performing solo concerts during Big Ears 2024. Big Ears 2024 will offer the rare opportunity to experience John’s fertile, musical imagination as it unfolds. For his solo concert, John will present a set of grand piano, mandolin, bass and electronics, with improvised solo performances and occasional forays into the past. https://bigearsfestival.org/ https://www.johnpauljones.com/jpj-and-sons-of-chipotle-to-perform-at-big-ears-2024/

  7. A couple of photos from San Antonio 1973, courtesy of photographer Al Rendon. He has more pics that he'll hopefully get around to scanning in the future. His story about photographing San Antonio 1973: My older brother Gerard and his friend Charlie had an extra ticket for the show, and offered it to me. I had my dad drop me off in front of the old Hemisfair Arena to meet up with my brother and Charlie. As I wound around the exterior hallways trying to find my seat with a huge satchel of photo gear that held film, lenses, a huge Honeywell flash unit with 510 volt battery and a Nikon Nikkormat, a security officer stopped me.“Hey kid, what’s in that bag?” I told him it was camera equipment and he said, “You can’t bring that in here, no one is allowed to take pictures. You have to take it back to your car.” Flustered and embarrassed, I explained that I didn’t have a car that I had been dropped off. I asked if he wanted me to check my bag in the office, but he said, “No, you can’t do that, either.” He was about to escort me out. Just then, the concert promoter Joe Miller from Jam Productions and a friend – the program director at KONO radio – saw what was going on and stepped in. This turned out to be a golden opportunity. I said with all my Central Catholic etiquette, “If you let me take pictures of the concert, I’ll turn you on to all the photos you want of the show. And if you can arrange it, I’ll take your picture with the band.” That sealed the deal and they allowed me to photograph, but only from my seat. Unfortunately my seat was high up in the arena, a lot closer to the rafters than the band. However, as the concert drew to an end, the crowd left their seats and rushed the stage. I did the same, and found my brother and his friend Charlie about six rows back from Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. I had exposed a few frames from my perch in the balcony, but conserved my film because even with the telephoto, I couldn’t get a very good picture. At stage level, Charlie lifted me on his shoulders and I shot most of the remaining frames on the roll. Finally, a stagehand shined his flashlight on me and told me to get down. This was my cue to disappear before I got in trouble. While the photo with the band and promoters never got taken, I made good on my promise and delivered my best shots to Joe’s office the next week. Both of the above images were a part of my 2007 exhibit, “All Access” featuring my rock n roll pictures taken during San Antonio’s groundbreaking hard rock era of the 70’s & 80’s. It is significant to me because those photographs opened the door to the relationships I made with the promoters, Joe Miller of Jam Productions, Jack Orbin of Stone City Attractions, Lou Roney & Joe Anthony (the Godfather of Rock at KISS-FM) and others who became the root of my professional career. -- www.alrendon.com
  8. not sure of the date of this article.....
  9. I didn't see a thread dedicated to Robert's 1981 Honeydrippers project... Just starting off with a few clippings, including a couple of his first ever post-Zep interviews, starting in March 1981.
  10. Start with (at 46 min), Going to California and the next song, Steel Away (featuring some great soloing on mandolin).
  11. I'd also recommend looking up his solo tours (1999+) as well as other projects after that.
