Plant with singer Allanah Miles. Anyone know when/where it was taken?

The quick answer is circa Jul/Aug 1990 while touring North America. The boy is Logan Plant. The photographer, Frank Melfi, may have more exact details on file if I don't.

One of the LZ fans on my Forum site inquired as to who the fellow on the right with the mustache might be.  See the picture below.

The photo is also posted on my Carnegie Hall Led Zeppelin concert Forum on Page 8, referenced below:

The inquiring fan's link is as follows:

Saw this on reddit. Is this really Plant? They were in Dallas March 1970, but....it just doesn't look right. I know blond hair can go dark in water, but the shape of the face doesn't look quite right either.

No, the pics are different. The black and white one is Page flying out of Logan airport in Boston, May 1969. That’s one of the Charles Bonnay pics. A bunch of them are on gettyimages.

It's legit. According to my notes it was taken at the Cabana Motor Hotel, possibly on 8/23/70 which was a day off. There is a second shot of him hoisting himself out of the pool -- naked as I recall.

There's quite a lot of pics - color & black & white - of RP in the pool by photographer Carl Dunn at the Cabana Hotel. Also shots of Bonham, JPJ by the pool and in the hotel room.

This is in reference to a dispute on a Facebook page in which the lady below claims to have met to Robert backstage in 1983. Everything about this info seems false, but is there an explanation for the photos?

The two photos she is holding were almost certainly taken in 1977, as that is the year he wore that silver and black necklace. It does seem to be her in the photo (at far right). Perhaps she recalls where better than when. I would love to see those photos properly scanned and uploaded as I've never seen them before.

They apparently appeared in Creem in 1977 and were taken at a Showco party at Mother's Blues Club in dallas by photographer John Gasperik. The lady is obviously mistaken about the date but the photographs look authentic enough. She claims to have been ten at the time.

She's in complete denial of the date however lmao.

Well no wonder people are having such a hard time believing her... if you're gonna lie about some aspect of a story, try to not make it the most obvious thing possible lmfao

The first time I recall seeing that necklace was in 1976 at the Song Remains The Same premiere:

The story sounds plausible, but those photos were not in Creem magazine.
