According to BP Fallon, Jimmy walked into the pool at the Riot so he get wouldn't thrown in during Bonzo's birthday party. I love the pictures of him in it. Many are by James Fortune....Thanks AEN27 - So Sharp, excellent!!!!

If that's Joe Walsh this could be Feb '75 when they attended a Linda Ronstadt concert in NJ.
If that's Cameron Crowe that also suggests '75 in NY.
....and along with Strider I think this is Joe Walsh also, as indicatred herein......Here is Joe Walsh with his photogallery similar hat/accessories/looks...
and the Jean Pants Jimmy is wearing are fromt the Ambassador Hotel 1975 famous photos/seated on the Couch...

...and Jimmy's hair in this photo mystery, very curly, as oppose to the smooth feather combed look he supported in 1976, ie. the People Magazine cover...

**further, I am thinking Jimmy would attend the Premiere of TSRTS habitually with an member of entourage, ie Closely with Grant, or thereafter Cole....
this photo looks like a social outing out and about...perhaps Jimmy would also be dressed more formally for the Film Premeire, I could see Jimmy wearing pair of jeans to a concert...(blue jeans that is)...
...just some thoughts..

Kennedy Pavilion: more than athletics
Old athletic center hosted bevy of musical acts

Gonzaga Archives photo
In the 1960s, Kennedy Pavilion (now the Martin Centre) hosted many popular bands and acts, including Cheech and Chong. The Pavilion was constructed in 1965, and was named in response to the Kennedy assasination two years earlier.
It's easy to forget, in the midst of all the activity on campus and the changes to Gonzaga, that the school has offered students a place to learn, live, and grow for decades. Some things — like every student's desire to lay out in the sun at the first sign of summer — have not changed (old yearbooks, in fact, are filled with pictures of these vitamin D deficient students); on the other hand, certain aspects of Gonzaga have certainly transformed with the times.
A prime example of this fact is the Charlotte Y. Martin Centre: Initially constructed in 1965, the building was christened the "John F. Kennedy Memorial Pavilion" in response to Kennedy's assassination two years earlier.
Although Gonzaga was certainly not the only institution to dedicate property to Kennedy — it actually became quite the trend to do, in the aftershock of the assassination — the pavilion's dedication is emblematic of Gonzaga's presence in the 1960s.
The pavilion was an important feature of Gonzaga in the 1960s in another way: As regularly as it housed the basketball team, it also hosted innumerable rock 'n roll concerts. Probably the most famous of these events is the Vanilla Fudge concert in 1968, because Led Zeppelin — so new in popularity that fliers incorrectly advertised the band as "Len Zeffelin" — was the opening act (Those interested in this specific concert can visit www.gonzagabulletin.com for an article on Zeppelin).Understandably, the crowd at the Zeppelin concert was astounded and impressed, but Zeppelin was not the only burgeoning music act to take the stage at Kennedy Pavilion.
Other popular concerts included: Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, Iron Butterfly, Harpers Bizarre, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Cold Blood, Chicago, and The Doobie Brothers.
Many of these "psychedelic rock" bands did not come to the Kennedy Pavilion exclusively for Gonzaga students.
According to Bob Gallagher, the owner of 4,000 Holes Record Store, bands were filing through Kennedy by the herds.
"There were so many bands, sometimes as regularly as two or three times a week," he said.
Gallagher attributes this partially to the popularity of on-campus concerts at the time (especially for younger crowds), but also because Spokane was a regular place to visit as part of the touring gambit.
"The coast, over the years, has become the place to play — just straight along the coast. It used to be Portland, Seattle and Spokane. We got everybody," Gallagher said.
Of course, the pavilion also witnessed the growth of "local" bands like Paul Revere and the Raiders, which began in Boise, Idaho, and gained the most popularity in the Northwest.
Paul Revere and the Raiders, riding on the coattails of recently-acquired renown, came to campus in 1969 with the Beach Boys.
Even into the 1970s, however, the Kennedy Pavilion remained a popular locale, and the school used it increasingly to host a variety of entertainers — everyone from TheYoungbloods to Mason Proffit, Paul Butterfield to Cheech and Chong.
John Denver, who performed in October 1972, had a backstage interview with the Bulletin where he addressed the Rolling Stone's less-than-stellar reviews of his music.
"I pay about as much attention to their reviews as anybody else's. I like to read them and the good ones I believe, the bad ones I don't believe," he said.
Yet, Denver's "no harm, no foul" approach to music critiques also allowed him to talk with the Gonzaga student freely about other popular musicians at the time.
"David Bowie does a thing now, he comes on kinda like a screaming bowl of fruit — I don't mean that as a put down at all — but he does," he said.
Ultimately, what Denver wanted from his audience was a genuine response to the music, which is something the variety of talent at Kennedy Pavilion certainly provided.
"The problem was the floor," Gallagher said. "It was because of basketball. They had tarps everywhere and they never heated it. It was a great place for shows."
The pavilion generated enough energy in the crowd to maintain excitement in even the coldest of months.
Gallagher, who took full advantage of all the bands that visited Spokane and specifically the Kennedy Pavilion, could not say exactly which one was his favorite — so many of them were so good. He clearly remembered, however, the nice college-campus location that Kennedy Pavilion provided throughout its heyday in the '60s and '70s
"Kennedy was just a great place for everybody, whether it was buying joints out in the football field before shows, or just hanging out afterwards," he said.
Since that time, the Kennedy Pavilion has been christened the Charlotte Y. Martin Centre (after a generous donation made possible renovations that doubled its size), and although it still offers the enhanced recreational facilities for which it was originally constructed, it hosts far fewer bands.
Yet, as Gallagher pointed out, "We each have our day when we became aware of music, and that era is always priceless. But there's always a lot of good music in Spokane — good local bands and places to play. You think ‘doesn't anyone good ever come here?' but then you realize in hindsight that they were good, especially because there's a lot of sentimentality there, too."
And, even if the Martin Centre is no longer a major point on a band's touring map, the history of the Kennedy Pavilion contributes to the Gonzaga campus and the music scene in Spokane. In the end, it's like John Denver said 20 years ago: "The music that we're doing is getting better and so it's still growing."

While Led Zeppelin was touring the UK in January 1973, my notes show on January 13, 1973 Jimmy attended Eric Clapton's performances at the Rainbow Theatre. This event was organized by Lord Harlech as part of Fanfare For Youth to mark Britain's entry into the Common Market on Jan 1st 1973. Perhaps Dubby Bhagat's (aka AD Sherpa) encounter with Page and Clapton at Ronnie Scott's occured on this day? Otherwise, plenty of opportunity for Jimmy to find rest & relaxation in London from August '73 to the end of the year (and beyond).
I will attempt to look into this further, as it also falls into the category of "Where's Eric?"
tks for this date SAJ - I will keep track of this date......
The JS (1967-1976) has other reports on Zep in addition to their Slip Disc Performance according to the Editorial Secretary who released the Bombay Photo Set...I will keep track of this also (I might be able to locate some old issues through a seller, not too sure yet)
-
SAJ, The former Editor of Junior Statesman (Zeppelin Bombay Photos '72) Dubby Bhagat, aka AD Sherpa now with The Himalayan Times/Khatmandu reports the following about Meeting Page (briefly) in London in '73........
couple of my emails correspondence excerpts with the Former JS Editor from Mar'2011....
.... "Alas no sign of the lost JS exist except in the memories of a 50+ generation. When they performed in Bombay I was representing the JS from London and alas missed the concert. I did however meet up with The Page in London later at Ronnie Scotts. ..... And yes I am sole beneficiary of Desmond Doig's estate which didn’t contain any JS back issues. "
"Ronnie Scotts was a club to which anyone dropped in thus my meeting with Page. It was not a friendship jus a drink. This was in about 73. I also bumped into Eric Clapton and number of other musicians at Scotts"
What is the occasion (if any) for Page to be at Ronnie Scott's in '73? According to Timeline Zep is in U.K. month of Jan'73....?
The Late Desmond Doig was a British author, journalist, architect thus mastermind of Junior Statesman, a publication which shares the same Offiical Date as RollingStone...
tks.

Unsolved Zeppelin Mystery: "Jimmy Page and James Brown"
On January 16th 2004 Jimmy Page was backstage at the House of Blues in Los Angeles speaking to legendary singer James Brown. He told James Brown he had
attended his gig at the Odeon in Hammersmith (London) in 1970. Given Led Zeppelin's
extensive touring that year the gig Jimmy attended was probably during the summer,
but the unsolved mystery is: WHAT WAS THE DATE OF THE 1970 JAMES BROWN GIG
that Jimmy claimed to have attended?
...some further info. from Rockbackpages.Com:
http://www.rocksbackpages.com/artist.html?ArtistID=brown_james
....By 1977 it is James Brown's 4th Visit to U.K.
...all of his visits appears to be reviewed/documented by Press in U.K........
...The First visit being March 1966, '71, '73, '77, '78.......so forth...
http://www.raysgigs.com/search.php?by=artists&q=James+brown
The '77 show date is January 14, 1977...
....
The Original Info. I posted at JPTHD..

after studying photos etc of the 1977 tour for close to 30 years I have come up with the following answers.
Jimmy had the white dragon top with poppy flower and dragon on the back from the start of the tour in Dallas April 1, 1977 but didn't wear the white dragon pants until the first show in Cincinatti April 19, 1977. All show previous to that show he wore the plain white pants. All shows after that Cincinatti 4-19-77 show he wore the full the white dragon top and pants except at the last New York show on 6-14-77 and the San Diego show on 6-19-77 he wore the white dragon top and plain white pants again.
Then in Largo, Maryland 5-28-77 , Los Angeles 6-22-77( he changed into the full white dragon suit after Moby Dick for remainder of show), and Oakland 7-23-77 shows he wore the black dragon suit.
The Chicago 4-10-77 show he wore the what has been called the 'Stormtrooper' outfit but I disagree and think he was going for the WW 1 aircraft pilot outfits like the Red Baron. Then after Moby Dick he changed into the white dragon top and plain white pants for the remainder of the show.
Tempe 7-20-77 Black dragon pants, black t-shirt and white scarf.
last show in the US Oakland 7-24-77
...thanks again. for your valuable contribution ......I confirmed all of these dates/designated photos you stated with the Official Timeline, and they are consistent with the pattern you mentioned herein.....
as for the so called the "Stormtrooper" black outfit in Chicago'77 and as you may know, this is what Jimmy Page has stated in his Official Autobio - Page No. 308 ...(I personally never had interest in-depth knowledge of history on this Stormtrooper, etc.)
"During the 1977 tour, I began to alternate between the Poppy Suit and the black outfits. Here I am wearing Hugo Boss"
...Designer Hugo Boss at one time manufactured uniforms for the Regime...however, clearly Page is making a fashion Statement as for Designer Label...that's my conclusion...

This is a great pic that I had never seen. Very cool shot before Jimmy staps on the doubleneck to play the opening number-The Song Remains the Same.
But I do have to say that the properties for this pic say Dallas 1977 and it is not Dallas '77 as Jimmy didn't wear the white dragon pants but wore white plain pants and he also didn't wear sun glasses or the scarf at that opening show.
I don't know which show this is from but it is from the second leg of the 1977 tour as John Paul Jones wore the all white outfit at all of those shows. He did wear the white sailors top at some of the 1st leg's shows but he wore red pants etc-not white.
Thank you DZoso, I really enjoy all of your insights into these mystery photos, I will attach the link where I found this photo, I should have earlier...and now on, I will confirm with your insights before posting as well....
it is rather difficult to ID the photos of the White Dragon Suit, for me anyways, ..from my understanding the poppy/embroidery was added when the tour had progressed (quite early into the '77 tour, but when/what month?)...The Dragons were already there, as Jimmy was now to have the white Dragon suit, in addition to the Black Dragon suit already in 1975...
Further, there are the plain white satin pants he is pictured in.....
I am sorry, it is all too confusing...
really appreciative of your hard work...thanks again much....

Thanks AEN27, He didn't forget to wear his scarf.........with a Tea Cup in hand/that deadly scarf, he is the Aristocrat English Rock Star, as I remember him from my younger days (this is how he was portrait in Press)...that time period early'75 is so very special to me, as I was beginning to discover his beautiful images...
Here is a link from Stephen Davis LZ-75 - He mentions that a photographer was on duty to capture the moment.....
"Also on hand was a photographer to document the interview:"

Only a guess from the way Jimmy's hair is.
...AEN27, that is true what Monsoon told me (and we discussed) that the photo indeed appeared in those British Invasion Books early 80's B&W Portrait....now perhaps the exact British Invasion Book will surface as there are so many over the decades...
Really enjoyed this photo...
-
My guess is circa 1966-67
...tks AEN27, compared some photos, I agree it is likely those years, sideburns...
...I love the photo you posted up top of Jimmy in that western shirt...thanks.....
