Reggie29 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have seen a colour photo (it could've been somebody's signature) of Jimmy playing a pedal steel guitar, it looks like it was taken around 1970. Around the same time as this was taken. Also, are there any of JPJ playing the same instrument? I have searched for it but have come up empty. If someone can help me with this it would be very much appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And You Know How It Is? Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Pretty sure this is a January 1977 photograph, taken as Zep were rehearsing for their 77 US Tour. Thought I read Jimmy used this rehearsing Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, which ended up not making the 77 tour set list (which would explain why his Pedal Steel Guitar didn't travel with him on that tour).
