I have read that the date is Sept 5 1966 on Page's website. Who is the drummer in the glass? Kenney Jones is the only name I could find related to that session, and that sure ain't him.

I didn't know that Ticketron sold tickets for Knewborth 1979: http:// I saw this same ticket elsewhere. Consensus seemed to be it's not legitimate...possibly banged out by a bored or mischievous person working a ticket counter somewhere in the states.

I believe the other gentleman is a roadie nicknamed Magnet, who is still good friends with Robert to this day. I believe there are photos of Magnet in the Led Zeppelin Entourage thread, the most famous of which is Robert holding him upside down.

Who is the drummer in the glass? Kenney Jones is the only name I could find related to that session, and that sure ain't him. The soundtrack was recorded at IBC Studios between late 1966 and early 1967 with all music composed, arranged and produced by Brian (with Glyn Johns engineering). The soundtrack also featured session musicians Nicky Hopkins (piano) and Peter Gosling (background vocals) in addition to Page. Brian played all the other instruments including: sitar, organ, recorder, banjo, harpsichord, autoharp, dulcimer, clarinet, and harmonica. In the March 10, 1967 official press release, Brian explained that he used players "ranging from one musician to ten. I ran the gamut of line-ups - from the conventional brass combination to a country-band with Jew's harp, violin and banjo. In the main the musicians were established session men - though some of the boys from the group also played." I too have seen Kenney Jones credited as the drummer time and time again, but of course that is not Kenney Jones. Given Brian Jones statement above, it literally could be anyone. However, Bill Wyman has refuted he (Wyman) was involved, and there is nothing to suggest any of the other Stones were involved either. Edited to add: Looking at those two photos again it seems to me the drummer image is superimposed and not actually a reflection in the glass. In other words, it's a theme or motif shot as opposed to a historically accurate shot. I could be wrong.

I didn't recall seeing it there when I had seen it a while ago. And it was notable as its not included on the DVD. Perhaps its wishful thinking on my part, but maybe this short clip of newsreel footage means there's more footage somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't September 5th, 66 since Jimmy was either in California or on his way to Hawaii with the Yardbirds. Jimmy's web site just used the first date from the Rolling Stones database, but other dates are listed (e.g the 11th of February). The image of the drummer definitely looks out of place. I seem to recall that the photos were taken by Ian Stewart. Maybe he was behind the "collage". Edited December 18, 2016 by thozil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page performed with The Yardbirds in Honolulu on Sep 4, 1966...next date was Santa Monica on Sep 7. I don't think the date for Page's session(s) have been confirmed beyond "late 1966/early 1967".

There's a photo of Page taken the same day with a woman who was photographed with him again years later. So I think it's fair to say they are casual acquaintances at a minimum, and possibly more.

One could speculate they are groupies, however groupies did not dress like that as they are wearing what was considered semi-professional or office casual clothes for the period. It looks like 77' NY so I will go with the possibility these are the ladies who staffed the Swan Song office in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is New York...June 1977...in front of The Plaza Hotel...and they are walking towards a waiting vehicle. I too thought it could be Janine Safer and or Shelley Kaye from the Swan Song Office but I don't have any photos at arm's reach with which to make a comparison.

I think he was active even in the 80's. Rufus "Speedy" Jones Born May 27, 1936 Died April 25, 1990 (aged 53) Genres Jazz Occupation(s) Drummer Instruments Drums Years active 1950s–1990 Associated acts Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Maynard Ferguson, Lionel Hampton, Henry "Red" Allen, James Brown I suppose they could've used some stock session photos to create a hip montage . Were these pics used as promo?? That would make sense then. Edited December 20, 2016 by porgie66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Querying on Google actually brings up images from what looks to be the same photo session. So the Degree of Murder session photos somehow have unrelated(?) photos of Rufus Jones overlaid onto them. What about the silhouette on the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
