....this event/image little closer, perhaps?, (Les Paul's 72nd Birthday); the decor is different than above photo, but Jimmy's hair seems to match...
In this Nov. 6, 1987 file photo, guitar designer Les Paul,
center, signs former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page's
chest after signing his guitar at a 72nd birthday party thrown
for Paul by Gibson guitar company at New York's Hard Rock Cafe.

I've never seen this photograph before and cannot match it to any public appearances. How certain are you it is a Hard Rock Cafe? The framed items on the wall from left to right seem to be white kittens, Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons and a Presidential letter from Thomas Jefferson, none of which seem to be among obvious Hard Rock Cafe decor.
...Not certain at all; I only found it on the internet and it states Jimmy at Hard Rock Cafe; No other information was stated; I had doubts for the same reasons stated herein...
thanks...

Wonderful article, PlanetPage! I think Sidarth did a great job with the resources that were available to him. I really enjoyed reading this - I thought it was well-written and, in addition to learning about LZ's trip, it brought back my own memories of India, the old Taj hotel and Bombay (before it became Mumbai). I'm sure the younger LZ fans in India will enjoy and be interested in reading about LZ's 1972 trip to India.
Thank you for your gracious comments, PlanetPage. It was my pleasure to be involved in this process - and I am delighted at the final result. I look forward to talking with you again soon.
....MSG, you are deserving of every gracious comment. Should there be any further developments with any additional photos, I will stay in touch with you and the fans -
Old Taj late 70's (The one Richard likes), Thanks MSG for sending this photo...

Thank you PlanetPage. I'm very happy all of your hard work paid off
Thanks to MSG as well
Thanks for your friendship Ally. MSG is indeed great friend. She was always there to provide great contacts, assistance whenever I was unsure of things....
Here is the article written by Sidarth Bhatia, journalist from Mumbai during this archival search, a great story he felt;
Sidarth responded to my original inquiry of search of photos and he became interested in Led Zeppelin. He was a young freshman in college in '72 when Zep arrived in Bombay,
Sidarth informs me that he wrote this article for the "young generation" in India who are not familiar with "those" times, they do know Led Zeppelin, but the visit of '72 was indeed magical...

Is there confirmation of the date and publication in which the article "Led Zeppelin Land Briefly in Bombay' was published?

The Junior Statesman, an early youth culture publication from The Statesman, Calcutta...
Photo of Musician Madhu Das on Cover of JS - He was also photographed for further '74/'75 issues of JS, but the JS folded around these mid years, starting with publications from 60's on...
http://www.bigdooker.com/milestones.html
...worth few cents back then, the scanned entire issue of JS is produced at approx. $900.00 U.S. to date;
Madhu informed me about the lost JS Issues/photos of Zep that he owned before, and that his girlfriend Sophia, now wife (pictured on his Official Site with him) use to plaster Zep photos on her wall...
- The Original Photos cannot be found. The Statesman confirms that a lot of their film has been destroyed over the years, unfortunately.

Is there confirmation of the date and publication in which the article "Led Zeppelin Land Briefly in Bombay' was published?
.....thanks SAJ, hope you enjoyed the photos;
yes there is, I cannot think of everything at once to post, too many details at once...
Yes, the Junior Statesman, in which these photos were published is said to be dated November 25, 1972.
The Statesman from Kolkata forgot to attach the Junior Statesman Front Cover, P. Banerjee will send me the scan tomorrow. (It has some other sports related photo).
I will post the scan. In those days, the photos for publishing were sent via regular mail, from Bombay to Calcutta. This is why the photos appear in Nov.'72 issue.
...as you know, there is no visit to Bombay in Mar'72 for the purposes of Bombay Sessions Recordings.

Great work PlanetPage! Thank you.

..........Fellow Zep Fans, here are The Photos/articles which finally have come to light since Fall of Last year.
I sincerely want to thank foremost our Webmaster, Sam, for providing such wonderful forum for Led Zeppelin fans around the world.....
Thanks to Ms. Radha Nair, Writer, Pune, India for her encouragment (I gave up!!) that I should pursue my passion, it is fruitful indeed. It is her prayers that connected me to many writers/journalists who further the cause each step of the way to present....
Writer/Journalist Sidarth Bhatia from Bombay who assisted in archives from Bombay...
A Big Thanks to our Veteran Forum Member MadScreamingGallery, MSG - Thank you for your friendship through this challenging archival process. Your friendship is truly noted in hearts of hearts, thank you!!!
..and Vinayak Razdan, New Delhi expert who assisted to search for any copies of lost Junior Statesman Issues and many other archival publications. There are none Junior Statesman (JS) to be found. Only one issue exists...and that leads me to The Statesman, Kolkatta, archives.
Very sincere thanks to Mr. Prasanto Banerjee, Assistant Editor of The Statesman, Calcutta for making these highly restricted archives to public available!!! These archives of Junior Statesman resided in a warehouse of Calcutta since the war of '71, Zep's first visit to India...
...finally I post the photos with this thought "Life is too short" ...........

The earlier above photograph of Zeppelin in Bombay is from a different publication, highly likely Times of India....

It's been a while since I was last on this forum. Frankly I had been thinking of deleting this account and making a new one (I have a new email address - same IP address though), but we'll see...
Thank you, that was quite informative and well-written.
Do you have proof of this, or some sort of source? I really don't mean to be a dick, but that's a little meager.
That's plausible enough, I guess, but do you have proof of this?
