I always figured that if the band had it in the archives, we would have seen it in the MTV/VH1 promos, plus the music videos in the 90s, etc. So it appears Opryland provided cameras, Worldstage provided screen projection, and Mobile Tape Video based in Detroit seems to be involved as well in the filming. While we await any reply from Sam, I'll mention I've seen two theories concerning the footage. One is that it went missing during the mid-tour break that began the following morning, and the other is that Jimmy has long since misplaced it. I doubt Peter Grant would have ever agreed to anyone other than the band retaining possession of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Tonight I retrieved this photo from storage and I'd like to know which show it was (1983 US Tour). Perhaps only Brian Knapp would know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonfan159 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 This photo has been around a while but I'm not entirely convinced it's not altered as the hair in the reflection doesn't quite match Robert's. Anyone know the details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted September 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 13, 2021 I think it's real. These came from a German photo archive a few years ago, who were selling some original prints/slides from '73 and '80. I picked up a few things.

Looks exactly like 77 Jim in the poppy suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the sack Robert is holding is missing from the reflection. Hair curl is different too. My vote is photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either someone having a lark turning Jimmy into Robert (which is quite clever and funny), or it's legit. If Sam reckons it's legit and Steven agrees, good enough for me!

Sunset Tower West (now a Best Western) on Kings Road & Sunset Boulevard. It's been driving me mad for weeks. I couldn't quite read the street sign or the name of the building.

Europe 1973 by Wolfgang Heilemann (I believe that's him behind Robert), who travelled with the band for a few shows and shot for Bravo & others. This photo is either in Germany or Vienna. Here's one from Montreux 72: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
