And You Know How It Is? Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It is indeed at the Continental Hyatt House from May 31, 1973. I don't know the specific event, whether it's a end of the leg party, after show party or a Gold Record Award event. Perhaps someone else can shed some light. I'll tell you why I don't think this is LA in May of 1973, but do think it's New York in July 1973: John Paul Jones is missing his mustache from the early part of the 1973 US Tour. All you need to look at are the pictures from Kezar Stadium in San Francisco from June 2, 1973, and compare them to these shots. I don't think JPJ grew that mustache in 2-3 days. Also, check out other photos of Jonesy from Tampa (May 5) or New Orleans (May 14)...he has the mustache. As we know from the movie, he didn't have facial hair for the closing three nights in MSG that July. These photos have to be taken in New York.

No, that's definitely a James Fortune photo from the HH and not the Drake. I have friends here and elsewhere who were at one or both places and they have confirmed that for me. What they have said is that we may be confusing the dates - these photos might not have been taken when the band was at the HH for the LA shows but either earlier or later in the tour, when they had enough of a break between shows and could have returned to LA for a press conference, recording, R&R, etc. Edited November 16, 2010 by MadScreamingGallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasphinx Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 This is really important. Can someone please shed some light on the issue of underwear? Is this part of a game? If someone can answer me, I can show you a very, very interesting photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasphinx Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) No bites on that photo? Come on guys. I had my last apartment broken into and had two pairs of undies stolen and it was supposed to be safe housing. They had put the locks on the door of my place and my neighbor backwards so that it would be easier to break in.We found that out when we had our locks changed. They eventually had to hack off my door handle because it totally jammed from how messed up the lock got. They literally took down the massive sign for the Royal Bank of Canada on Portland Street. 44 Portland (the year Jimmy was born). There's weird shit going down. And with what Russell Wiliams had been doing..... it's not funny. Edited November 17, 2010 by grasphinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasphinx Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Would anybody know why this font was chosen for this video. It can easily be interpreted as bid Lod. Does anyone here know what's been going on in Lod? Alot of people have been getting killed. Especially since Lod is the only word in the font text itself using a capital letter, it can easily be referencing the place and the crime levels there from Organized Crime have gone way through the roof. The cops can't handle it. Edited November 17, 2010 by grasphinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insofar as your thread corrupting posts concerning Lod, Organized Crime etc. it's time to call a spade a spade. You're the latest incarnation of a previously banned member - kabbalahone - in Nova Scotia. Your purple prose was nonsense then, your recent posts are nonsense now.

You're the latest incarnation of a previously banned member - kabbalahone - in Nova Scotia. Your purple prose was nonsense then, your recent posts are nonsense now. Calm down will you? Thank you for letting me know the underwear is part of a planned event. That is really good to know. I really did have my place broken into and have some stolen. The guy in the military (Russell Williams) who is now in prison for murder broke into 82 homes and stole their underwear before he committed the murders. He murdered the female soldier on my birthday and I had been brutally beaten back in 1982, so there are good reasons for me being freaked out and looking for answers. Okay? Can you please understand that. As far as the font goes, it does also spell bid Lod and I wanted to know whose idea it was to use it for the video. It is possible you know, that someone else involved in making that video used it without Roberts' knowing what it could refer to. Have you considered that? Even in the movie TSRTS they are playing a board game at the beginning that deals with strange concepts, so the theme may have continued. You want to call a spade a spade? Stop being so paranoid and let me work on finding whose been involved. If you calm down enough, I'll show you another couple of photos that will prove my point. Do you think you can calm down instead of hurling your insults? Some people are happy I'm back so stop it. You started a thread on Zeppelin mysteries, but when it comes to real mysteries, you get freaked out as all fuck.

c4plant Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Churchill is a village in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire. Heavy Plant Crossing is a standard UK construction safety roadsign. Perhaps we can pinpoint the location...it seems to be an intersection...and the identity of the gentlemen in the suit.

takamba Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Churchill is a village in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire. Heavy Plant Crossing is a standard UK construction safety roadsign. Perhaps we can pinpoint the location...it seems to be an intersection...and the identity of the gentlemen in the suit. Further research in progress. It was a local garden centre called 'Roseacre' and the gent in the suit was the manager. hope this helps.

Knebby Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 While always in search of "new" old photos, it is actually rare that I come across one i have not seen ...... For me this is one of those rare gems...anyone have info on this one? I can tell you that I scanned and posted that particular pic. I got it many years ago ( late 70s) from Dave Lewis so he may have mor info regarding its source, but Takamba seems to have sorted the location/other people issue for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always remember the bridge pick-up being cream. Did he change it in '75? ^^^ The black pickup suggests it's his #1 Les Paul. Here he is with his #2 Les Paul: ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 1) Purchased from Joe Walsh in April 1969 for £500. Used on-stage since April 1969 (Fillmore shows) and in-studio from Led Zeppelin II onward Might be a 1958 model, but the jackplate and the white PAFs point to it being a 1959 model Specs: Body: Single sharp cutaway Mahogany, bound carved maple top Finish: Cherry Sunburst Neck: Mahogany w/ rosewood fingerboard and pearl trapezoid inlays, shaved to an eliptical profile (prior to JP's ownership) Frets: 22 Headstock: Blackface w/ holly veneer/pearl logo inlay Tuners: Gold Grovers (installed on Aug. 9, 1969) Hardware: Nickel Pickups: 2 covered humbucker PAF, original bridge PAF changed, firstly to a T-top, then later to a custom wound Duncan, and has been covered/uncovered at various times Controls: 2 volume/2 tone, Pull-pot switching,although there is heavy debate as to whether the pull pot on #1 is really for coil split (as on the signature model) or for phase switching & 3-position switch 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 2) Purchased/received in late 1973, however it was not used onstage until Jan. 1975. Serial number is 91703. Features a pair of spring-loaded buttons under the scratch plate offering new pickup configurations. One of the buttons puts the pickup into series or parallel and the other offers regular or out-of-phase tones. Installed in 1980. Specs: Body: Single sharp cutaway Mahogany, bound carved maple top Finish: Cherry Sunburst Neck: Mahogany w/ rosewood fingerboard and pearl trapezoid inlays, shaved to replicate the profile of No. 1 Frets: 22 Headstock: Blackface w/ holly veneer/pearl logo inlay Tuners: Nickel Grovers Hardware: Nickel Pickups: 2 Double-white covered PAF humbuckers, pickup covers on-again/off-again over the years, usually (but not always) in opposition to No. 1 Controls: 2 volume/2 tone, 3-position switch Edited November 20, 2010 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Pretty sure the young lady in the wheelchair is Jackie Jennings, a friend from Kidderminster that has brain cancer. Robert did a benefit gig to pay for her treatment. I've followed this lead but none of the women in the photograph seem to match Jackie Jennings (41) as depicted in the information and links below. My hunch is still circa 2002. ------------------------------------------------ Robert Plant to play benefit gig for neighbour Singer hoping to raise cash for medical expenses September 29, 2006 Robert Plant is set to play a benefit gig to pay for the medicial expenses of his neighbour. The former Led Zeppelin singer will play the gig at Kidderminster Town Hall in Worcestershire on December 23 under the name The Honeydrippers. The evening’s entertainment will be billed as ’The Return Of The Honeydrippers'. According to the Midlands paper the Express and Star, Plant hopes to raise for money for Jackie Jennings, who is having treatment for a brain tumour in Boston. The therapy costs £100,000 and the singer hopes to raise £25,000 at the gig. Jennings has already raised £75,000. It is unclear who will be in The Honeydrippers' line-up, but the band’s album from 1984 featured Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. http://www.nme.com/news/robert-plant/24506 --------------------------- An April 2008 press release from Jackie Jennings as well as press photos: http://www.theprotoneffect.org/downloads/jackiejennings_april08.pdf http://www.theprotoneffect.org/jackiejennings/pages/aboutjackie.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
