    One could speculate they are groupies, however groupies did not dress like that as they are wearing what was considered semi-professional or office casual clothes for the period. It looks like 77' NY so I will go with the possibility these are the ladies who staffed the Swan Song office in NY.

    their bodies are smokin whoever they are!

    any idea what venue this is?? i love shots like these when you can see the arena, like the photos from the forum in 1970

  3. Are the msg '73 shows the only shows led zep professionally filmed themselves? Meaning they hired a film crew, not just in-house crews like seattle and knebworth (not sure if earls court is in-house or not). Doesnt that seem weird if thats the case? By the mid-late 70s youd think they'd wanna preserve some of these shows just for themselves, not even to release commercially. They could certainly afford to, it just seems like such a waste they didnt film more stuff. Even studio sessions, it would be fascinating to see them in the studio. They knew what an amazing band they were, its just surprising they wouldnt document more stuff along the way, again not for commercial reasons but just for themselves.

  4. Does jimmy have the rights to anything led zeppelin? Meaning could he release anything he wanted in the vaults, or would he need robert and jpj to sign off on it also? Im surprised jimmy wouldnt release more stuff from the archives, he seems so proud of led zep and their legacy and doesnt shy away from talking about it, unlike mr plant. So maybe robert is holding jimmy back on releasing stuff, if thats the case, not sure.

  5. Cool, but obviously not the same as the pro shot footage! :P

    You sorta have to wonder what did become of the pro shot, though...if Jimmy or anyone else in the Zeppelin organization doesn't have a copy, who does? It'd be some valuable fucking film either way. Led Zeppelin's record breaking show at one of America's biggest venues...I'd like to think whoever filmed it took good care of the film. Surely Peter Grant at least ended up with a copy...(hopefully he didn't just erase the damned thing just so those nasty bootleggers couldn't get a hold of it) I'd find it hard to believe the band wouldn't have wanted that bit of documentation just due to the historical factors behind the show.

    Though I'd say the footage probably doesn't exist anymore. Since it didn't end up in the DVD or out on bootleg yet...I don't think anybody would be able to sit on that piece of history for thirty three years...

    Too bad, as even the mediocre audience tape and those few photos show Pontiac was easily a better show than Seattle. I mean I'd definitely watch that video more than once.

    Not sure about that. Im a huge springsteen fan, and bruce and the e street band played the summit in houston in december '78. the summit had an in-house video system, and zero footage of that show has ever been seen for 30 years. bruce's 78 tour is legendary, tons of interest in that tour among bruce fans, but nobody could get their hands on it. in november bruce is releasing a 30th anniversary box set of his 78 album darkness on the edge of town, and a dvd of that houston show from dec 78 is included. So obviously bruce's manager grabbed the tapes as soon as the show was over and sat on it for 32 years. So its definitely possible the pontaic footage is sitting in the zeppelin vault somewhere.
