I’m reading Chris Salewicz’s Page biography nd in it he states the the black beauty that was stolen was a gift from Keith Richards. I have never read any such suggestion in any book or magazine etc before. Surely not?
I did say few years ago I wouldn’t buy my more books but it was reduced so I couldn’t resist. It seems good up to and including the session years, but now we’re into the band there seems to be quite a lot of mistakes that would be very easily checked
Page's 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom 'Black Beauty' was purchased new in 1962 for £185.

Great photos! With regard to the two men on the far right of the stage, the man who is seated behind the equipment could be Michael "Tiny" Gossen, a Showco sound and lighting technician (he worked with the band prior to their association with Showco?) and the man standing to his right could be Clive Coulson, a member of the stage crew for quite some time.

That is Rusty Brutsché, co-founder of Showco.

Page stole the silver metal plates from Jim McCarty's bass drum head (or vice versa)!

We would have had the first early video of Since I've Been Loving You.
But we still have RAH from two months before.

Good read. It references some of the audience leaving during The Yardbirds' set, too.

You'll have to be consistent about why the August 16,1967 date is questionable. Is it because of the guitar or the ceiling? Or both? The staging area in the photo has probably long since been removed from Hunt Armory. I'm looking into that, as well as the signage behind him.
The first photo is from December 4, 1966. Upon taking possession of the Tele from Beck, Page put the original white colored pickguard back on. The Tele looks worn.
The next photo is from February 2, 1967. Page put eight reflective circle on the front of the Tele. Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett was seen in the recording session for the movie "Let's All Make Love" in January 1967 with a Telecaster with reflective circles on the front. I've always said that Page did this as a nod to Barrett, however, I have never found a link between the two, such as a live date where both bands played or a Pink Floyd date around the London area when Page was NOT on tour.
The third photo is from April 13, 1967. This is the last dated photo I have of the Telecaster with the circles on it.
The fourth photo is from July 22, 1967. This is the first dated photo I have of the Telecaster having been stripped down and had the Dragon painted on it.
So, the transformation happened between April and July 1967.
Photo five is an older, yet undated photo of the interior of the Hunt Armory. See the history on the structure at http://pittsburghpa.gov/district8/armory-history. Better photos of the space at http://rs.locationshub.com/location_detail.aspx?id=045-10000637&user=45&photopage=1 It is *plausible* in photo 5 (with the American flag) might show the same ceiling layout/infrastructure. On that last link, there is a picture of a classroom, with low, false ceiling tiles. I doubt The Yardbirds played in there.

I'm not saying that spaces can't change their appearance in 40+ years, however, here is the interior of the Hunt Armory as of last summer. I just think with the lack of ceiling tiles/ceiling infrastructure, I can't buy that the Page picture came from the Hunt Armory.

Paul St. John was in partnership with Pittsburgh-area promoter Rich Engler, so it may be the correct city........
-
NOT from August 16, 1967. The Telecaster had already been repainted into its Dragon persona. This would have to be before April 1967. Any thoughts?

He is a nice gentleman. I have enjoyed the email conversation we've had over the last few years.

Abandoned Silverdome Is A BMX Rider’s Dream PlaygroundWhen driving around Detroit, many people would be shocked to see the amount of abandoned buildings scattered across the city. Over the past decade, the ‘Motor City’ has fallen behind bad times. Detroit was forced to file for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, estimated between $18-20 billion, back in 2013. Once a booming industrial powerhouse, Detroit is now a ghost town compared to what it was.Former home to the Detroit Lions, Wrestlemania III, Supercross and World Cup soccer games, the famed Silverdome was forced to shut down back in February of 2006. Up-and-coming professional BMX rider, and Michigan native, Tyler Fernengel is the last professional athlete to perform inside the Silverdome, even though he wasn’t performing for anyone other than a couple of cameras and himself.The abandoned Silverdome is a BMX rider’s dream! With endless rails, stairs and ramps–any rider could have endless hours of fun cruising around the stadium. The 19-year-old remembers the first and last times he was in the Silverdome, “I was 3 years old and had just gotten my first dirt bike. It may have been the first race I ever did – my dad entered me in the amateur Supercross races held every year at the Silverdome. Amateurs would compete they day before the pro Supercross. I raced there every year until I was 10 years old.”“The last time I was in the Silverdome was nine years ago. When I showed up for the shoot, so many memories were coming back,” said Fernengel, “just sitting in the tunnel – where you come out on the track and where the players would run out – I remember sitting there, years ago, with my dad and all the other kids. It brought back a lot of good memories. Being out on the field, it was crazy to think that there once was a motorcycle track there, every year, with all the fans, but now it’s nowhere near the same — it’s like a war zone.”

Ever since 1970, it has been known that a majority of the tracks from Led Zeppelin III were recorded at Headley Grange, as per the original liners. Now, with the release of the Super Deluxe Edition, the accompanying book said that a majority of the tracks were recorded at Olympic Sound Studios.
Which is correct??????

Most likely, yes.

Gammage Auditorium Tempe, AZ. Friday December 2, 1994.
One of my favorite articles/interviews of all time. It has the best quote ever!
"A lot of people have gone to this album saying, 'Oh, it's Led Zeppelin-influenced,'" says Galas. "Well, do they ever stop to think that maybe Zeppelin was John Paul Jones-influenced?"

The photos are from August 22, 1970.

Huston emailed a picture of him standing in front of Mystic Sound Studios, too.

Your guess that the liner notes on Led Zeppelin II are 'simply wrong' is correct. My studio was called Mystic Records. It was the former De-Fi Records where Richie Valens and The Bobby Fuller Four recorded their hits. I remodeled the studio in 1968. It was located on the corner of Selma and Vine, in Hollywood, one block below Hollywood Boulevard. There, at the time, a studio in New York City called Mirror Sound. Maybe that is where the error came from, although there were thousands of miles between the two places?
The studio was actually located above a bank which stood on the corner of Selma and Vine. The studio's live echo chamber was in the basement and we used to get complaints from the bank when the chamber's use bothered the bank's office staff, during the daytime.
Well, Chris Huston confirmed that the Led Zeppelin II liner notes are incorrect..... but there was a Mirror Sound that I still haven't found any reference to.
