Led Zeppelin's final UK gigs to be chronicled in new book

Coming in August will be the limited-edition book Then As It Was: Led Zeppelin At Knebworth 1979 -- 30 Years Gone.

Lemonsqueezings.blogspot.com reports that the book by Dave Lewis will feature previously unpublished photos and fan recollections of Zeppelin's final UK performances on August 4th and 11th 1979 at the legendary festival.

Then As It Was: Led Zeppelin At Knebworth 1979 -- 30 Years Gone will be released on August 8th.

Footage of Zeppelin's 1979 Knebworth appearances was featured on the 2003 DVD Led Zeppelin.

Jimmy Page says that he's extremely proud that Led Zeppelin's music is still held in as high regard now as it was during the band's heyday: "You know, it's the most rewarding part of it, having, you know, been part of music like that which has stood up to the test of time. I think every musician hopes that their music will hold up, and it's wonderful."

The get-together Dave Lewis is organizing sounds awesome.

Lemon Squeezings has a nice post about both events.

Where'd you get that cool photo of Pagey? From Ross Haflin? Cool photo.

And ... is Jimmy hitting the gym or something? All of a sudden he's got forearms. A long way from his stick figure '77 daze.

Yeah, it's a photo taken by Ross Halfin, last year in Beijing.
