SteveAJones Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks for the clarification,Sam. Much appreciated. I didn't think they played in Pittsburgh in 77..... Too bad its not a still from film...wishful thinking on my part...again...;-) Is it not from New York '77? I believe there's a shot in the Zeppelin Mysteries thread with pallets and a forklift. The forklift had a NY state license plate. A poor quality scan of a photograph can sometimes give the appearance of "film". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 any comments about date of this photo? looks like Earls Court, if so, his finger injury was long gone and i can't connect this with Drugon Suit. or Jimmy just kidding with plaster? The hand is simply photographed in the full rays of the sun...or it's a photoshop prank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm guessing 68 or before bath 69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Are these from the boston tea party shows in 69? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Actually, that last picture looks nothing like the Boston Tea Party, in fact it also looks like John Bonham is using two bass drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hrsoflunacy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Bonzo only had the double bass for a handful of dates in early Aug. 1969. And you are correct, the walls certainly don't match the Tea Party. Edited January 19, 2012 by 3hrsoflunacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikezep61 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing 68 or before bath 69 This photo is definitely from the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 18, 1969.

mikezep61 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Are these from the boston tea party shows in 69? If you were to believe this site they are: http://k2yhe.blogspot.com/2011/01/led-zepplin-at-boston-tea-party-1969.html The same photographer (Roger Thomas) also had a few other rare Boston Tea Party of JPJ (see photo 6) and Robert (see photo 22): http://k2yhe.blogspot.com/2011/01/photos-by-roger-l-thomas.html Roger Thomas did light shows at the Boston Tea Party, so it's pretty safe to say these are from the Boston Tea Party. Here's a photo of Roger: http://www.flickr.com/photos/k2yhe/6118161233/ Here's a clearer version of one of Roger Thomas's Boston Tea Party photos (the one listed above was a reverse negative): Here's a picture taken backstage at the BTP; it looks like the bench could be similar to the ones in the Page backstage photos: Above Page's head in the stage shot, the cross on the wall looks just like the one on this Boston Tea Party photo: By the way, I don't think Bonzo has a double bass, it's just the angle. He didn't use double bass drums until the summer of '69. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Sweet thanks, yea that's the site I got them from. I was thinking it was only the angle of his drums as well. Edited January 19, 2012 by joey1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hrsoflunacy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not saying your wrong Mike, but the walls don't seem to match up when compared to these other Tea Party shots: http://www.ledzeppelin-reference.com/geekbaseweb/photopage.aspx?showid=113 http://www.ledzeppelin-reference.com/geekbaseweb/photopage.aspx?showid=112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2yhe Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Actually, that last picture looks nothing like the Boston Tea Party, in fact it also looks like John Bonham is using two bass drums. Maybe I can clear some things up about the photos. All were taken by my father, Roger Thomas, the director of The Road Light Show at The Boston Tea Party. These photos are all on the same negative strip, as well as contact sheets from his old Hasselblad camera. These were definitely taken at the East Berklee Street location. There are several others, but I have yet to scan and upload them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the two photos you posted, the Bonham photo is too close to clearly see the side wall in the background of the photo, and the Page photo shows the opposite side wall.

k2yhe Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm wondering if anyone here knows that The Boston Tea Party was housed at two different locations? The first (original) one was on East Berklee Street, in the South End. The next location was in Kenmore Square on Lansdown Street. I might suggest if you have questions about the backdrop or architecture of the venues, contacting Steve Nelson of The Music Museum of New England might fill in information that I don't know or have. He was the manager of the BTP and has an incredible memory for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the manager of the BTP and has an incredible memory for details. The Boston Tea Party was housed at two locations. The first location was at 53 Berkeley Street. It opened on January 20, 1967 with a performance by The Lost. The first location on 53 Berkeley Street closed on July 11, 1969 with performances by The Velvet Underground, Country Funk, and Quill. The very next night, July 12, 1969, the nightclub The Ark, located behind Fenway Park at 15 Lansdowne Street, was renamed the Boston Tea Party and reopened with a performance by Larry Coryell, Country Funk, and The Quill. The decision to close the Lansdowne Boston Tea Party club was made on Thursday, December 31, 1970.

PlanetPage Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Are these from the boston tea party shows in 69? ...Could this photo be of Lynn Collins - Steven Tyler's companion who left him to accompany Page after the Boston Tea Party? ...From my search "Lynn Collins" has been discussed somewhat steadily, by no photo so far, perhaps Lynn Collins has "finally" made her way to Zep Timeline?
