SteveAJones Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 ...Not certain at all; I only found it on the internet and it states Jimmy at Hard Rock Cafe; No other information was stated; I had doubts for the same reasons stated herein... thanks... I'll make a starting assumption it was taken in the United States during The Firm's 1985 or 1986 tour. I say this because there's a bottle of Michelob on the table - an American beer. Other than that I'm a bit stumped at the moment. Perhaps it's a hotel restaurant? Wimpy has a connection to hamburgers (food). Jefferson has ties to Virginia and Washington DC, among other places The Firm may have played nearby. I'd really like to see this one solved as it's a rare shot and a good one at that.

joey1985 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Could it be July 18th 1985 when Jimmy Visited Les Paul at his home for an interview? In part two of the video you can see jimmy's pants look the same and in both part two and one you can see his shirt looks to be the same. I'm not saying this is Les Paul's home but it could be related, although I have seen lots of pictures with that shirt from around this time.

Deborah J Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I am not sure about that photo^^ but this link is with Jimmy and Mason Ruffner in 1985 and Jimmy's hair looks different to me...and it seems Patricia took the two photos. http://www.masonruffner.com/Pictures/slides/mason_page.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianeh! Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I am wondering if this is the weekend that jp played with the beach boys on the mall in washington dc. july 4, 1985. There is a hotel in Washington called the JEFFERSON. The shirt he is wearing looks like the one he was wearing. There is a video on youtube (lucille) The picture looks like he is in the bar of a hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Might be Washington D.C. here is a picture of the bar at the jefferson hotel but it is a recent picture. I have seen the beach boys video and the clothes do seem the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandown Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) I can't imagine a picture of Wimpy on the walls of an upscale Washington establishment. Edited September 20, 2011 by swandown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetPage Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) ....this event/image little closer, perhaps?, (Les Paul's 72nd Birthday); the decor is different than above photo, but Jimmy's hair seems to match...

canadianeh! Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 thanks joey1985 i agree the jefferson hotel 26 years ago was not the swanky establishment it is now. in 2007-2009 it went through a complete renovation. back it 1985 it did not look as it does today. that being said it was just an idea i thought i would put out there for discussion.

Credit: AP Photo/John Bellissimo The correct date for this photo is June 9, 1987. The party was hosted by Gibson Guitars...Jimmy attended with Patricia..seated with Jeff Beck and a blonde girlfriend, Phil Carson and a brunette girlfriend…Jimmy jammed with Les Paul and Al DiMeola. He (Jimmy) was only in town for two or three days attending Les Paul birthday celebrations. The day before he was at Fat Tuesday's and Uptown Rascals. There is of course a connection between Wimpy and Tuesday, his saying "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today", however photographs of Jimmy in a Hawaiian shirt almost always date '85-'86.

joey1985 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) press conference in Japan I think Edited September 21, 2011 by joey1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Actually I'm pretty sure this is 72 in Japan at a press conference. They tried to get pictures with Jimmy holding a Greco Les Paul so they could promote it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The Japanese tried to promote Greco Guitars using Led Zeppelin's name. Apparently the band commented at their show that "Jimmy Page no use Greco" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know when this picture is? It looks like its an interview, I am guessing between '73-'75. I have never seen another picture of him wearing this so I am not sure. Thanks. Edited October 19, 2011 by aen27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidZoso Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) That is from the 1977 US tour- Jimmy wore that skeleton/guitar necklace alot on the 2nd leg of the tour. You can also barely see the white dragon top under the red robe(John Bonham wore one of those robes in the Seattle 7-17-77 video) but I don't know the precise date of the photo. Here is a bigger version of the pic. Edited October 25, 2011 by DavidZoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
