Deborah J Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Who made Jimmmy and JPJ's ensembles--- and the coat that Robert had that had a little Zebra in the material and it was a long coat --and what were the brand of jeans that Robert wore at Madison Square Garden for TSRTS?

Evster2012 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Jimmy's costumes were made by a seamstress in Los Angeles named Coco. That's all I know for certain. I've often wondered if Elton John's Tiny Dancer refers to her: Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Whoever made John Paul's coat with the onions hanging on it needs to step forward and be held accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep Gurl Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Whoever made John Paul's coat with the onions hanging on it needs to step forward and be held accountable. I always thought they looked like those Christmas tree ornaments that were popular in the 70's. Those satin ball ornaments you could get in different colors!

danelectro59 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Whoever made John Paul's coat with the onions hanging on it needs to step forward and be held accountable. Amen! I've always considered that outfit, along with the page boy haircut, to be JPJ's dorky moment. Other than that, he always looked rather cool. Bonzo looked rather odd in the boiler suit and bowler. Made him look more overweight and older than he really was. Page and Plant never imo, ever looked bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I always thought they looked like those Christmas tree ornaments that were popular in the 70's. Those satin ball ornaments you could get in different colors! This outfit is on display at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. A few of the "ornaments" look like little hearts. The jacket is quite stunning and elaborate when viewed up close. It is like a patch-work quilt with ribbons and silk and satin patches of calico-ish material. I loved it! They also had a pair of suede trowsers with short fringe down the outer seams. Part of the ensemble. This was my favorite artifact at the RRHOF, along with one of Jonesy's bass guitars. It was full of symbols on the body and neck. Very intriguing. By the way, these were the only two Zepp artifacts on display there. I was told by a security guard that people asked all the time to see more Zepp stuff, but that was all that they had. Does anyone have a good photo of the jacket? I have been looking but can't find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking but can't find one. I have always wanted to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. I wonder if it is still on display? Going out east, hopefully in September of this year. Might try to stop in Cleveland on the way back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a dancer and accompanied Elton John and Bernie Taupin as a seamstress too on their first tour in the US. Well, I'm pretty sure you know it Ev, but I just couldn't help answering it.

And we continued acting like idiots... I still use ornaments like that! On my tree every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to capture the spirit of that time, encapsulated by the women we met--especially at the clothes stores up and down the Strip in L.A. They were free spirits, sexy in hip-huggers and lacy blouses, and very ethereal, the way they moved. So different from what I'd been used to in England. And they all wanted to sew patches on your jeans. They'd mother you and sleep with you--it was the perfect oedipal complex. --Bernie Taupin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
